pouring my heart out

when i was younger, i used to keep a journal.  almost everyday i'd write anything significant that happened to me. i miss writing... when i am pissed off, i'd write everything until my head cools down. when i am sad, i'd write each and every hurtful detail i could remember, cry my heart out and feel a bit better afterwards. when i am happy, i'd write so fast just to get all information saved in that precious notebook of memories. writing has been a therapy and a refuge during my teen days.  it helped me keep my sanity. i miss those days when i can write anything i want and never get criticized for it -- because no one would actually see it. i miss writing...i'm gonna buy myself a really nice notebook and a nice pen. :))

Harry Potter

The Harry Potter fever is starting to get on to me...again! 2 weeks to go until the screening day of the last movie in the series.  Harry Potter has been a part of my growing up years.  I can still remember the days I spent reading all the books in the series. I almost missed the 12mn New Year fireworks because I was engrossed reading the 1st to 3rd book. I read the 4th book while studying for the final exams during college. I printed a "leaked" copy of the 5th book, and took it to a photocopy center near our school to have it "hard-bound". I took an early break from work when the 6th book was released just to make sure I am able to get a copy on the 1st day, read thru the night and cried my eyes and heart out when Dumbledore died. I reserved a copy of the 7th book and read it in about 3-4 days because I wanted to find out how Voldemort would die (oh, yes I'm pretty sure he is the one who dies). I watched all the movies, most of which during the 1st ...

missing my HR life...

it's the season for parties again...i terribly miss organizing christmas parties, yearend parties, raffles, exchange gifts, searching for venues... as much as i don't want to admit it, i miss my HR life... :( as i've posted in my facebook page: my inner HR is calling me once again...is this a sign? a sign that i should go back to being an HR person, which i think, i'm destined to be?

uy, ang taba mo ngayon!!

feeling hopeless and depressed... it's been almost a year since i gave birth to our precious baby and until now i haven't shed off the extra weight i gained. i am seriously feeling depressed about it. to make things worse, people are not so sensitive/accepting about it. minsan napapaisip ako, bakit ba ang daming nakikialam pag tumaba or pumayat ang isang tao? is this a filipino thing? when we see someone after not seeing them for a long time, more often than not, ang bati natin is, "uy, pumayat ka!", or "uy, ang taba mo ngayon!". isn't that a bit insensitive? what if the person was suffering from an illness which made her lose weight fast? or what if the person as already feeling depressed about being mataba? i admint, i was one of those people. until i have realized that it is so not worth it. can we not think of anything better to say? if you think a person is fat, or gained weight, chances are, he/she already knows about it. and you need not rub it ...
