avatar and quotes...

when i was a Netscape Internet Service Provider (NISP) agent, we were fond of creating email avatars and quotes. we spent a lot of time creating avatars and searching the net for quotes from books, poetry, movies, songs and even tv series'. i was checking my old netscape mails and found these:

i am someone who is looking for love...
real love...
ridiculous...
inconvenient...
consuming...
can't live without each other love."
- carrie bradshaw (SATC)





"At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So you can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here’s what I know: If you’re willing to take the chance, the view from the other side is spectacular. "







Some get hurt to see someone they like to be dancing with someone else...Some get hurt to see someone they like act as if they like that someone they hate...Some get hurt for seeing their old fling still an old fling...Some get hurt to see that old love happy...Someone gets hurt everytime.










Okay here it is. Your choice. It's simple. Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But… I love you…. in a really, really big … pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window…unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me. --- Grey's Anatomy
















"The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him, if he were really here? Forgive me, I have never known this feeling. I've lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, that I fail to recognize you? You-- who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say...I cannot find the words. Except for these-- I love you! Such would I say to him, if he were really here."








I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.











bring nothing but silence
show nothing but grace
seek nothing but shelter
from the great human race
take nothing but pictures
kill nothing but time
leave nothing but footprints
to show you came by

i was not able to properly attached these pictures in my post bday article so here it goes...

















thank you, chef laudico. you are truly a heaven sent.

my post bday blog article

NOTE: i was supposed to publish this yesterday but something happened so here it goes:

today, i turned 30...

and i still feel the same.
still horizontally-challenged
paranoid
ill-tempered
clumsy
lazy
bitchy
alone...

but let's not talk about that. i am happy. FOR REAL! and it's my day right? it's all about what i want for this very special day.

hmmm, what could it be?

1) well, i wished for a day off before my birthday but i don't have enough vacation leave balance because i already saved it for my CORON trip this coming sunday. but my MAY 4 work shift turned out to be a funny one. i was asked not to take calls the whole shift, by the manager of our queue! you see, i made a violation with one of my calls last april. they said that i was rude and impatient blah blah blah. what can i do? my caller was so dumb! he does not even know how to use the right-click of his mouse!

anyway, to cut the story short, i was waiting for someone to tell me to go home and just wait for the clock to strike 12 midnight and enjoy the very first seconds of my birthday with my family but they told me to stay put and i immediately became my supervisor's assistant, RTA and errand girl of the whole team. i don't mind it at all! it was actually fun instead of just sitting around.

what i am actually worrying is that my status at work is currently in a limbo. i don't know if i'll be sent home come MAY 6 and take a forced vacation for i don't know how long or just a suspension for a couple of days. i've been wanting to resign for a long time now and maybe this is the answer that i am waiting for. FREEDOM... but with no money??? nah! i'll survive

2) Chocolate Truffles by Rolando Laudico. i am not exaggerating. this is the best ice cream that SELECTA has ever made! i bought my first 800 ml size a few weeks back, ate it with my sister and mom, and we all fell in love with it. it is indeed super creamy and the generous truffles...ugh! i just can't get enough of it. nagkakaubusan na nga e! i bought another of it last Friday but kept it in the fridge until now. i am planning to eat it tonight while watching movies, hehehehe. i just hope it won't melt coz i saw an electric interruption announcement from our cable tv provider which will happen today from 8 am to 5 pm. (this one's a success! hehehehe)

3) A kiss from any of my boys (kahit sa panaginip lang! - never happened hay):

ah, the number 30. "malapit ka ng mawala sa kalendaryo", that's what most people will say. so what's the big deal? just stay happy and everything will be alright! as my favorite quote goes: Work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt. And dance like no one's watching.
