Never ever reach a point where you regret something
just because you thought it was a mistake.
Remember, once upon a time it made you smile.

Sometimes, we just have to let go of someone
who matters to us not because we have to,
but because it's the right thing to do.

Let's remember that we can't force anyone to love us.
We can't beg someone to stay
when he/she wants to leave and be w/ someone else.
This is what love is all about.

However, the end of love is not the end of life.
It should be the beginning of understanding
that love leaves for a reason,
and leaves with a lesson.

Wisdom is oftentimes acquired when we stumble, not when we succeed.
Our defeats leave us wiser than our triumphs.

One day, Friendship and Love met.
Love asked : "why do you exist if I already exist?"
Friendship smiled and said : "to put smile when you leave tears..."
then Love asked : "well if that's what you do, then how come there are still people crying?"
Friendship answered : "it's my fault. because sometimes, instead of doing my job, I end up doing yours..."

Alam mo ba pinagkaiba ng taong MAHAL mo sa taong GUSTO mo?

-- pag tumingin ka sa mata ng gusto mo, namumula ka;
   pero pag tumingin ka sa mata ng mahal mo, napapangiti ka.

-- sa harap ng gusto mo, nahihiya ka;
   pero sa harap ng mahal mo, nagpapakatotoo ka.

-- di ka makatingin ng diretso sa taong gusto mo;
   pero sa taong mahal mo nakikipagtitigan ka pa.

-- pag umiiyak ang gusto mo, pinapatahan mo siya;
   pag umiiyak ang taong mahal mo, naiiyak ka din.

tama ba?

Greenbelt (Eagle Eye) - UP Diliman - Antipolo roadie (09-26-08)

Had a long but fun night again last Friday. First was movie-watching of "Eagle Eye" @ Greenbelt (medyo late pa ako kaya ibang seat na tuloy. haha! churi po), then waited for Terence at Valero sabay diretso sa UP Diliman for some reminiscing (parang gusto ni Terence, ayaw naman ni Thina hehe!) with Donnie breathing the Ateneo air once again while driving along Katipunan Ave. After a brief stop at UPD, tuloy na sa Cloud 9 bar and resto at Antipolo to eat at magkwentuhan. And what a "better" way to spend the night than exchanging trivias regarding various Filipino romantic movies (salamat sa inyong mga adik kay Piolo at Aga hahaha!). I had fun as usual with all of you and hopefully ganun din kayo. Sa uulitin po. =)

Quezon and Laguna Adventure - Terence & Thina's Anniversary (Sept. 20-21, 2008)

I'm the last poster of an album I guess. Haha!

First of all, congratulations to Terence and Thina on your anniversary (wedding bells na ba sunod?) at salamat din ng madami sa pag-imbita para makasama kami sa special occassion na ito.

This adventure during the weekend was a classic example ng lakad na walang nasunod masyado sa itenerary. Mula sa ETD hanggang sa mga lugar na dapat namin puntahan at tigilan, iilan lang ang nasunod talaga. Pero hindi ako nagrereklamo, in fact, napaganda pa nga ata ang lakad na ito dahil dun. At eto na siguro ang pinaka-"incovenient" at pinaka-"extreme" na camping na nasalihan ko ever. Imagine doing "outdoor camping" na may comfort rooms, hot showers, big trash can, golf clubs and balls, tennis equipments, swimming pool and jacuzzi, at ang pinakamalupit sa lahat... cold softdrinks with matching straws. San ka pa? Extreme conditions talaga. Haha!

Salamat uli sa napakakulit at napakasayang weekend with all of you (Terence, Thina, Lanie, Jhen, Donnie, Mike, King Louie, Master Ron, Abet). Sana maulit uli ang road trip na ganito in the not-so-distant future.

2008 GMA Badminton Tournament Opening (09-13-08)

Our "second season" as players for our department. Don't get me wrong, we're not really THAT good at playing the game, in fact we're probably the weakest in the entire tournament. Haha! Nagkataon lang na medyo marunong kami makatama ng shuttlecock at since wala naman talaga try-outs (basta makabuo lang ng team ok na), sumali na din kami. Sayang din ang uniform, haha! And more importantly, the reason we joined the tournament is to have fun and make new friends (and maybe even have the chance to play with some celebrities along the way).

Gerry's Grill - WG DIner (09-12-08)

A weekend double-celebration of sorts for Terence and Thina's anniversary and Kuya Jason's (advance) birthday party. Met with some of the Angels first at Gerry's Grill then followed the others at WG Diner a few hours later. I had a great time folks at sana kayo din. Till next time. =D

Dinner Out with the Angels (09-10-08)

Had nothing to do last night before pumasok sa office so sumama na din ako sa dinner na plan nila. Copy all the pics if you want, wala po problema sa akin. Sa uulitin po sana. =D

My not-so-Smart (3G) Experience

First of all, some points of clarification. These are based on my personal experiences regarding the topic and I am only saying things the way I see them. Though I do have friends working for the other network, this “review” has nothing to do with it since I haven't even tried their own version of this technology just yet. Also, to my friends who has some knowledge regarding this topic, feel free to correct me kung may alam kayo na mali sa mga statements ko. Thanks!

I've been using the Smart 3G as my primary means of connecting to the internet for a few months already and I must admit, I'm not really satisfied with it's performance. I am using a (Nokia) 3G phone as a modem for my laptop and every time I connect to the internet, the same scenario always happen.

I have no problem with its downloading speed even though I know I could ask for more. Walang problema sa basic web browsing and even while watching videos from YouTube sometimes. Pwede na din para sa akin in short. But I cannot say the same for the upload speed. Uploading a few pictures on the internet could take lots of time, hours in fact, if you're gonna believe the time indicators in sites like Multiply. Considering that uploading the same amount of pictures or data using either the fixed-unlimited (home)line of Smart Bro (which has a rate of around 384kbps) or the free wi-fi access points from the cafes and burger joints would take only a few minutes, it's a no contest actually. Samantalang if you're gonna believe their marketing strategies (and also at least in theory) dapat ay halos magkasing-bilis lang sila (kahit man lang compared sa speed ng Smart Bro). I know a lot of factors also matter like the power of this laptop that I am using or even the phone unit that I use in connecting to the net. Well, nasubukan ko na din mag-internet sa mga burger joints na may free wi-fi more than once (sa Burger King sa Timog Ave. for example to be specific) using this same laptop and I must say meron talagang difference.

One more important issue that I would like to raise (and this one really pisses me off most of the times) is that whenever I'm in the middle of my browsing, all of a sudden my connection would change from “local and internet” to either “local only” or “limited connectivity” habang patuloy pa din na tumatakbo ang connection time ko. This happens more often that not, minsan nga kahit wala pa akong 5 minutes nakaka-connect sa internet. We all know from the advertisements that Smart charges a flat rate of P10 per 30 minutes using this technology (Globe offers basically the same rate if I remember it right). But since my connection is limited or local only, parang useless din siya in a sense kasi wala ako ma-access na ibang sites or pages whatsoever. In effect, nagbabayad ako ng wala naman nagagawa or napupuntahan talaga. If that's not a case of being ripped-off then I don't know how to call it. Imagine, for example, may kausap ka sa YM tapos nasa kalagitnaan kayo ng pag-uusap nyo ng biglang hindi na siya nakakasagot? Pagtingin mo sa connection status mo yun pala para ka na din disconnected kung tutuusin. My friends could attest to that, kala nila kausap pa nila ako yun pala wala na. And I have no choice but to disconnect and connect uli para naman hindi masayang yung tumatakbong oras ko. And trust me, in my case this happens at least (with emphasis on the words “at least”) 4 to 5 times during a short 30-minute period. Hindi na nga ako magtataka kung bago ko pa man mai-post itong blog na ito ngayon e nakapag-reconnect na ako ng ilang beses.

Akala ko nung una dahil lang ito sa cellphone unit ko. But I had this one chance of using the portable Smart Bro kit owned by one of my officemates (that portable modem na gawa din pala ng ZTE, of all companies, at binabandera ng mga artista sa commercial gaya nila Sam Milby with Sandwich doing the commercial jingle to the tune of their famous hit “Sugod”). Naintriga ako hiramin kasi akala ko mas stable siya at mas sulit kung sakali kaysa naman kapag cellphone ang gamit ko. After all, muntik na din ako mapabili noon nito kasi akala ko mas mapapamura pa ako kung sakali. Nagkataon lang kasi na nung lumabas siya before e wala pa siyang driver for Windows Vista kaya hindi na din muna ako bumili. Buti na nga at lang hindi nga ako bumili kasi ganun din pala, mapapamura nga ako, and I am not speaking in a positive manner. Mapapamura ako in a sense na puro mura din pala lalabas sa bibig ko pag nagkataon kasi ganun din siya, nag-iiba din ang connection status while using it. I asked my officemate (the owner of the said device) kung ganun din ba ang nangyayari pag siya ang gumagamit nito sa bahay nila and guess what he said? Ganun na ganun din daw.

Now why am I not surprised? Hehe!
