Mamma Mia!

super nice!

at first had doubts about the pierce brosnan and meryl streep 'love team' pero they totally pulled it off!

just watching the movie transports you to a sunny island beach where love is just all around. hehe

plus syempre ang abba songs. sabi ko nga, dapat mapanuod din ng mommy ko. hehe

buti nlng nag spur of the moment friday labas ako. hehe

LSS

as in sobra. for the past few days! i just find myself suddenly singing this - sa gym, sa elevator, sa fx, sa tricycle, minsan nagugulat nlng katabi ko nyahaha.

alone (gusto ko version ni heart ;p)

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

this pic definitely captured one of the happiest moments in my life. back then, i felt invincible, like the world was for my taking. lahat kami ng kasama ko fresh grads with great hopes and dreams...

and now one year or so after, napapaisip ako kung nasan na kami ngaun. si mel, like me, sa telco pumasok. at business analyst din. pero after a while, nag IT sa jabee. si dian, ganun din, IT sa HP, ngaun sa Jabee na din. si chad, sumunod sa calling ng isang ie grad at nag logistics, pero ngaun business analyst na din sa telco. at ako? business analyst. soon to be a buyer. grabe, ang bilis ng panahon. wala tlgang panigurado. if you would have asked us last year we wouldn't have thought na mapupunta kami kung nasan kami ngaun. haay.

i miss college. i miss my 'thesismates' and forever friends . kala mo nung college sobrang hirap. pero grabe pag sa real world na. haay (one more time)

i was looking through my phone inbox and came across messages from mel and dian. in some way ang galing din tlga ng sms technology, your friends are just a text away! reading their messages just made me smile and feel better. actually, mejo nonsense lng naman laman ng message nila pero basta nakakagaan ng loob. :)

kelngan ko na ata ng gimik with them soon. :c

this is it

was at my breaking point this morning, with my stress level at the maximum when i received a text message:

"Hi Charity. Can you please confirm the date i received from hrd (July 15) - date of transfer? Ty"

syempre biglang todo palpitations... kahit unknown pa ung number, just knew that the message could only have come from one person.

and now as i sit here in my room, feeling very full after having binged on jjamppong noodles, choco mallows, roasted chicken and avocado shake (! major stress eating), things are just sinking in. and once again im being bombarded by mixed feelings - sadness, confusion, relief, trepidation and excitement.

haay

********

lord,

grant me serenity to accept the things i cannot change
courage to change the things i can
and wisdom to know the difference

good night

funny how 2 words can make you break into a song. nyahaha

what career suits your personality?

received an email from jobs db with an attached personality test. syemps, sagot naman ako since confused mode ako sa career path ko. hehe. and may chance pa to win an ipod nano or gucci bag! funny, the last question asked what i would prefer to win kung ung bag nga or ipod. of course, nagpakatotoo ako and i answered the gucci bag. haha. ang kikay!

anyway, here's the results:

You will be perfect for a career that interacts with people and allows you to be spontaneous and creative.

Relationships are important to you. You enjoy talking and meeting people. And you love being the center of attention.

You are transparent about what you think and feel. You analyze things by looking at the big picture. You also know when to trust your gut instinct.

You are very innovative and creative. You don’t like routines much that’s why you’re always open to options. .

Possible career options: marketing, human resources, advertising, real estate, events organizer, travel agent, financial planner, consultant, public relations, sales, physical therapy, training, consultant, stockbroker, politician, admin.

You've got a friend

When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
