Finally my vacation leave has been approved by my TL. This means I'm now ready to fly to Cebu on the 25th to 28th of feb. I was able to get the promo fare of Cebu Pacific and as early as November I was already booked and in fact i have my ticket already. I will be going to Cebu to celebrate my birthday.
This time I will celebrate my day on the queen city of the south. It has been planned months ago and I am excited as early as today. This is my gift to myself, I've been celebrating my birthday with friends and family, but this time I will celebrate it alone, just for a change.
Too bad my beau won't able to come with me beacuse of work, it would be more romantic to celebrate with him in Cebu. But we'll celebrate it together on another day.
I just hope my trip in cebu would be memorable the way I want it to be.

AN ENCOUNTER WITH A STRANGER
it was almost 8pm, it's raining so hard and i have no umbrella. I don't wanna get stranded so i hurriedly went to the street. I ran so fast as if somebody is chasing me hoping to reach home immediately. While running,i saw a waiting shed, i hurriedly stopped to catch my breath and wipe myself to dry. My house is quite far so i decided to stop for a while to let the rain stop before i continue walking. hours passed and the rain continue to pour, I'm shivering and all wet, again, I don't wanna get stranded, i'm tired and all i want to do is to reach home and rest. Since I'm all wet, i ran again as fast as i could and didn't bother where i'm heading to until I bumped into somebody.
"are you alright?" the voice said.
"no i'm not! I'm all wet and tired. Sorry by the way, i didn't noticed you.i'm in a hurry"
"how could you notice me, you were running so fast!"
"oh well..yeah..i don't have a choice but to run...i need to get home."
"you're wet, you have no umbrella. Would you mind if I take you home? where do you stay?"
"oh no! don't bother, it's okay I'm quite near, besides you'll be out of the way."
"i don't mind," the voice continued. "I have my umbrella, we can share, it's quite huge, besides you don't need to run."
"we'll thanks!"
"so?...shall we?.."
"sure!"
I didn't know what came into my mind why I accepted his invitation.I didn't even know him, he might do something to me, probably he's criminal and stabb me to get my money and cellphone. But I didn't bother,all I want to do is to get home.
"where do you live by the way?"
"oh i live a few blocks away from here, i live in an apartment alone"
"oh nice, was it fun?"
"kinda, because nobody bothers me and tells me what to do, but it's very tiring because i have to do all the chores by myself, but over all it's okay."
"that's interesting!"
we exchanged conversation while walking until we reached my apartment.
"is it here where you stay?"
"yes"
"nice pad"
"thanks!, would you like to come in for a while and have some coffee?"
"oh no thanks! it's very embarrassing."
"no it's not! i have to return the favor you gave me"
"of course that's not a favor! i was the one who offered"
"come on, just come in.i only invite once, once you refuse i won't invite you anymore hahaha"
"okay..okay"
"please have a seat and feel at home."
"thank you"
"oh by the way i haven't ask your name, oh my god! hehehe."
"i thought you wouldn't bother to ask that hehehe. I'm Brad and you are?"
"I'm Justine, and thank you for bringing me home."
"it's a pleasure! besides, i don't wanna see you running under the rain at those time."
"wow, how sweet! how would you like your coffee be prepared?"
"black coffee will do."
"okay no problem!"
Brad and i had a small chat at my apartment while drinking coffee together. he is a nice guy, i could tell the way he speaks, very educated and well mannered. i didn't know what came into my mind why i let this man come over to my place when in fact he is just a stranger to me by that time. so what if he offered me his umbrella. so what if he took me home, it doesn't mean i'll trust him easily...with that i, i don't know either.
after finishing his coffee he already said goodbye, after all i'm very tired too and i want to rest either at that time.
"oh well thanks for the coffee and for the small talk, i have to leave now and i believe you want to rest already coz i can tell by the look in your eyes."
"oh yeah i'm sorry...thank you for bringing me home and thanks for gracing my invitation."
after Brad left i decided to go to bed.
the rain didn't stop. it rained the whole night,and it is still raining when i woke up, so i didn't hesitate to bring my own umbrella to work.
it's about to go home again, good thing it's no longer raining, i don't need to rush up again and besides I'm bringing my umbrella. i was about to cross the street when i heard a voice calling my name. The voice is very familiar so i looked back. to my surprise it's Brad, running towards me.
"now you're the one running"
"yeah, I'm running not because i am caught by the rain hehehe, i saw you going out of your office that's why i ran. so you work here?. my office is just right there."
"really? what a coincidence!"
"yeah, are you busy tonight?'
"i'm not, why?"
' i just thought of inviting you for a dinner."
"dinner? oh no thanks! it's very embarrassing."
"embarrassing?why? you invited me for a coffee last night and now i'm inviting you for a dinner. come on, please don't refuse, i only invite once, otherwise i wont invite you anymore haha."
"hey ive heard that before, that's my line."
"so?......"
"okay sure!"
"wow thanks!"
i wasn't able to refuse Brad's invitation, he insisted that's why i accepted it. we went on a nearby restaurant and had dinner. we had conversations again and i didn't know that we share common interests.he is very funny, he has a great sense of humor.he never ran out of topic.
days passed and our dinner was followed by another dinner and another dinner and a series of date. he always waits me after work and walks me home.if he don't see me, i always receive a short note on my apartment door saying "i didn't see you today" "i went home already" "don't make yourself tire" and so on and so fort.
with those kind of things, i didn't help but ask myself, "is he courting me?" "does he likes me?" or "was he just a nice person or he's just simply like that, and countless of questions that runs on my mind. i don't wanna misinterpret his actions i might get the wrong signal. i don't even wanna ask him about his intentions because i don't wanna assume that he likes me. we'll it's up to him what's his purpose of doing all these. what i know right now is that I'm happy being with him, i enjoyed his company since the first time we met.
But things suddenly changed. Days passed and he started not seeing me the way he used to do. No more text messages coming from him. I thought he was just busy, but months passed and still no text from him. I tried to reach him send him messages but still no reply. I called but he's not answering. I tried to figured out what went wrong. Why he suddenly ignored me, a lot of questions came into my mind and kept on figuring things out. I just told myself that I think he is no longer interested in me. Somehow I felt sad by what happened, but good thing I didn't expect too much from him, otherwise I'll be devastated. Until now, i didn't bother to know what happened to him. i just hope someday, while running under the rain, I'll bumped into him again!
"are you alright?" the voice said.
"no i'm not! I'm all wet and tired. Sorry by the way, i didn't noticed you.i'm in a hurry"
"how could you notice me, you were running so fast!"
"oh well..yeah..i don't have a choice but to run...i need to get home."

AWKWARD MOMENTS
Maaga akong pumapasok sa office at madalas dun na ako kumakain ng breakfast ko. Isang araw habang kumakain ng breakfast, pumunta sa pantry si V, siyempre bilang ka officemate niya ay niyaya ko siyang kumain. "V breakfast tayo" ang yaya ko sa kanya. Isang malamig at monotonic na "NO THANKS!" ang narinig ko sa kanya. Ang dating sa akin ay pasuplado ang pagkakasabi, ni hindi man lang siya tumingin. Kung hindi ko lang siya kilala marahil ay iisipin kong bad mood lang siya nung umagang iyon, pero hindi. Sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko ay hindi ko na siya yayayain or kakausapin sa susunod.
Two years ko ng ka officemate si V. Tahimik, hindi pala kibo, hindi nkikisalamuha sa ibang tao sa office. May mga iilan tao lang siyang kinakausap sa office at hindi ako kasama dun. Mas nauna siya sa akin at until now ay hindi kami nag uusap. Halos lahat ng mga tao sa floor namin ay nakakausap ko at nakakabiruan pa maliban sa kanya. Kahit nasa iisang team lang kami, handi parin kami nagpapansinan. Minsan gusto kong malaman kung bakit ganun nalang ang pagkailang niya sa akin. Siguro dahil na rin sa hindi kami parehong approachable at nahihiya nag bawat isa sa amin ang i-approach ang isa't isa. Inaamin ko na hindi ako approachable, pero kapag kinausap mo ako kakausapin din naman kita. Yun siguro ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay hindi kami gaanong naguusap.
Marami kaming awkward moments ni V. Minsan nagkakasalubong na kami sa hallway ay hindi pa namin makuhang magkatinginan at magpansinan. Hindi ko alam if ngingitian ko siya or babatiin sa twing kami'y magkakasalubong kasi hindi rin naman siya kikibo if babatiin ko siya. Minsan magksabay na kami sa jeep at magkaharap pa pero parang hindi kami magkakilala, siguro nag hihintayan kaming pareho kung sino ang unang kikibo sa aming dalawa. During lunch time naman, may pagkakataong kasama siya sa lunch out namin, lahat naman kami ay naguusap-usap at nagku-kwentuhan maliban lang sa aming dalawa. Minsan tuloy iniisip ko if napapansin ba nila ang pagkailang namin sa isa't-isa.
Gusto kong maging kaibigan si V, maging ka-close gaya ng pagka close ko sa ibang tao dito sa office. Feeling ko marami kaming mga bagay na pagkakapareho. Minsan gusto ko na siyang i-approach ng kusa pero hindi ko lang alam kung paano tyumempo at baka i-snob lang niya ako gaya ng ginagawa niya minsan. Gusto kong malaman kung anong tingin niya sa akin kaya lang hindi ko alam kung paano ko iyon sisimulan.
Minsan ko na ring sinabi sa sarili ko na "I will never like this guy!" Pero lately napapnsin ko na cute pala siya ( ayun naman pala eh hehehe) sa twing lalapit siyasa pwesto ko. Lagi ko na tuloy siyang pinagmamasdan kapag hindi siya tumitingin. Feeling ko nagiging intresado na ako sa kanya lalo na nung malaman kong ka-uri din pala siya.

THE MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED
I first heard this song on the latest victoria's secret fashion show, and after that I had LSS, I browsed over the comments until I found out the title of the song and who sang it. I immidiately searched it and downloaded it. The song is very nice and instantly I fell in love with. Just want to share with everyone. Sing with me.
The Man Who Can't Be Moved by the Script
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm
Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,

And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

A PRAYER FOR HAITI
Lord thank you for not experiencing the killer quake that killed hundreds of people and left homeless in Haiti. We are so privileged that despite all the natural calamities that we experienced during the past years still we are thankful that we are all safe.
I would like to ask your blessings to help those people who were greatly affected by the calamity especially our fellow Fililipinos who are working there. Please help them to recover from the sufferings that they are encountering now that they may find quick aid from other nations. For those who were killed, may they rest in peace now.
Please bless those countries who are helping the people of Haiti that they may continue their support as they supported us during the times that we are in need.
Give the people of Haiti the strengths to surpass all these trials and help them recover from this nightmare.

I DO!
I just attended a wedding, it's the wedding of my cousin to her 6 year boyfriend. Everyone was there including some acquaintances. The wedding reception was very organized. It was facilitated very well. I got a teary eye when the principal sponsors began to give their individual message to the newly weds, some are very touching.
Before, I already visualized how my dream wedding will be. It will not be extravagant, I just want it to be very solemn. Only close relatives and friends are invited.Around 150 guests only. It will be a church wedding and everything will be in white including the flowers. I want it to be at night so that I will be romantic. Our favorite songs will be sing live during the ceremony and at the reception while dancing with my bride.
But I guess this will just remain a dream forever. I will never get married, and never will be...and that made me emotional during the reception.

INCREASE
I'm with my company now for 2 years after I left my BPO employer. With the kind of work that I have right now I can say it is far better than my previous job wherein the pressure is endless. I know there is always pressure in any job but the pressure in my work today is manageable.
When I joined my new employer it was assured to me that I'll get an appraisal as soon as I get regularized after 6 months of probationary. I accepted the offer even though I know they offered me the same salary that I have on my previous job because I know I can have my increase . I know also the fact that my previous BPO job has interesting benefits compared to my new job but I don't care if I will be stressed everyday.
But what happened is that, until now my salary is still the same, nothing had changed. I almost had an heart attack the moment I saw my recommendation for regular employee wherein I got no increase. I want to tear the contract because I know it is not fair.
I was saddend by what happend. Naisip kong huwag nalang pirmahan yung contract and end my tenure but then naisip ko na mawawalan ako ng trabaho and hirap maghanap ulit ng bago. So I have no choice but to take the offer. May quarterly bonus naman ako kaya okay lang na magtiis.
Nagtiis ako ng isang taon na walang increase, nagtatiyaga sa sahod ko na minsan kinukulang pa sa dami ng gastusin. I attempt to resign but because of the recession naisip kong mas okay ng magtiis sa sahod ko kaysa sa matengga ng matagal. Pero ang pangit naman kasi 2 years na ako dito and yet my salary is stagnant. Anu pa ang silbi ng pagtatrabaho ko if alam kong hindi na tataas ang sahod ko? i have been evaluated 4 times and yet no appraisal at all. Minsan naiisip ko na my hardwork and sacrifices are not worth, isama mo pa ang pressure sa trabaho.
Last October, I had my last evaluation for the last quarter of the year. Finally my team leader has recommended me for an increase at natuwa naman ako na kahit maliit lng yung increase ay naging thankful naman ako because finally eto na! I thought the increase would take effect immediately yun pala pag aaralan pa ng management. So naghintay ako ng result na baka next year na yun magiging effective. Still waiting and hoping...but not until today.
sakto two years nako dito sa company namin and can't wait for my increse, naiinip na ko kaya kinausap ko na ang supervisor ko to get some update on how my appraisal is going on and to my surprised baka sa August pa daw ito mag take effect because nasa higher management pa for approval. What the hell?! So it means maghihintay pa ako ng kalahating taon para makuha yun and I can't wait any longer. Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako nang marinig ko yun at tahimik na bumalik sa cubicle ko.
Now, while I'm writing my blog I have decided that staying here is not good anymore. Wala akong growth pati sa sahod ko. I pity myself, until now wala pa akong achievement na matino. It so sad that time had passed at nasayang lang yun and I can't see myself growing here. So the next step that I'm going to do is to look for a new job now. Goodluck to me!

JUSTINE IN DISGUISE- Pilot Entry
We all wear different masks for different reasons.
Some masks we put on because it's truly who we want to be. Some we wear because we can't bear to face what's really underneath. Or because it's what someone else needs us to be.
And some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden. But that's the problem with wearing masks. They can be ripped off at any moment.
I know each of us wears our own mask. We have our own purpose why we wear them and that is to hide something. It could be emotions, problems, or even our whole identity. Sometimes it is more comfortable wearing them especially if we're in pain and we don't want others see us that we are suffering. But it also appears that we are fooling others because we are not being true. But whatever it is, as I've said we have a purpose of wearing them.
Just like any other people, I also wear my mask. Been wearing it a long time now eversince I discovered something strange about me. I have decided to wear it because I have to hide the other "Me" because I know somehow If I wear this mask I can fool the world but deep inside I know I cannot fool my heart. But of course I have plans taking it off in due time, but for now I have to leave it this way.
I know it is hard to hide something to other people because others do not understand the reason behind hiding. There are people who are very shallow and close-minded and no matter how much you explain, you still end up explaining forever.
How about you, are you wearing your masks too? Let's attend a masquerade ball hehe.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My blog will not be complete without introducing myself to my readers. I know some bloggers doesn't reveal their identity to their followers and remain mysterious, but to be fair I will give you some ideas of who I am, but of course without revealing the whole Me, otherwise i'll just give you my facebook account hehehe.
My birthday is quite historical or should I say it is part of the Philippine history and often times declared as holiday (swerte ko noh laging walang pasok pag birthday ko). Everytime I celebrate my day, we celebrate EDSA day as well. Yes I was born on the 25th of February (which makes me a piscean). But I wasn't born on that exact year where it actually happened, it just coincides that I am celebrating my 2nd birthday (oops...did i just revealed my age?) during the revolution.
First time you will see me you would think that I am a snob person and difficult to approach. I always look serious and sometimes I appear suplado to others. I admit that I am not approachable person, but when you talk to me I'm sure your impression will change and you would want me to be included in your company.
I am a pure blooded Kapampangan (Mekeni) and as they say I am a good cook. Yes I know how to cook, almost any kind of dish and sinigang is my forte. I am a pasta lover and I am addicted to McDonald's fries which I always crave for one!
I am a music lover, I listen to almost any kind of music genre depending on my mood, but of all genre, I love club remixes. Whenever i listen to this kind of music , I always imagine myself dancing in the club. Right now I am crazy over Lady Gaga's music. Bad Romance is the only song on my playlist that being played repeatedly.
Before I go to bed at night, I make sure I am tuned to 90.7 love radio and listening to Papa Jack's TLC until I fall asleep.
Well, so much about introduction. i guess i already shared half of my identity and I think this is enough before posting my very first entry. but before that let me share to you my wildest dream, mababaw lang naman ito and that is to have my Bench-like billboard in Edsa and to walk on a runway hehehe. Can somebody grant that wish fore me?

PROLOGUE
It's been months since i started reading blogs. I find them entertaining and worth reading. I never thought that reading blogs would become part of my daily routine at the office aside from facebook. Currently I have 4 blogs added on my favorites and everyday I make sure that I have to read them whenever I have time. These blogs are worth reading and I can say that these bloggers are professional writers. I am so impressed the way they write and express theirselves that's why I was inspired to create my own.
At first, I was hesitant to make my own blog and join others on blog world because of some reasons. First, I was thinking that I may not able to post as often as the others. I am afraid that I may not able to update it every now and then. Second, I am not a good writer, I can't make my stories worth reading and it may end up that no one would read my posts nor pay attention to them. Third, I may not get a lot of followers. Lastly, when I write, I tend to lose my focus because a lot of thoughts are running on my mind and I am having difficulties organizing them.
Now, I am decided to create my own blog and I am ready to post and share my stories and my thoughts to online readers. But before I make my first entry, allow me to mention here my inspirations why I am creating my own blog.
To GALEN, I accidentally googled your blog when I was searching for the movie Angels and Demons movie review. I clicked the link and to my surprised, you were referring to a different Angels and Demons, it is not a review but a blog entry. curious I am, I read your post and continued reading your other entries. In the end, I became a fan of your blog. It is in your blog site I discovered other interesting blogs, Corporate Closet; Rudeboy and John Stan's blog. With so much modesty, I have to say that you inspired me to write and I hope I'll get tips from you guys because I do believe that you have so much talent in writing.
Today, I'll start the year by proudly sharing my thoughts to everyone. I hope my readers will love my stories and eventually before the year end I can have at least 100 posts or more! Now, aside from facebook, blogging will be now my other stress reliever hehehe.
