The undying issue of my Starbucks experience

   

I remember like it was more than a year ago that I hanged out at Starbucks with some friends.

They started to link me with a certain guy that I barely know. The reason was, kasi the first time na nagpunta ako he was sitting on the table next to ours, tas medyo familiar na siya sa kanila dahil kasabayan nila na nag hang out yun. Tas good school, good looks. Yung common reasons... pero sa akin wala lang talaga noon dahil lam mo naman ako.

But honestly, I find him cute and I admire the way he focus on what he's doing that I came to notice nung nagtatagal  na ako.

My intention was crystal-clear. I was just there to chill out.

Days went on and they keep on linking me with that person.

Nakakahiya nga kasi he was busy studying and then ang ingay nila.

Pero hinayaan ko na lang sila kasi wala naman talaga.

But one day I found myself looking for that person na hanggat maaari nga eh wag ko na lang makita kasi ang gulo gulo ng mga kasama ko. And then I realized naging crush ko na rin siya sa kakatukso nila. Pero I am not expecting for any response dahil heller naman sakin kung umasa ako dba? 

Let's call him Starbucks experience

Lately, sabi nung friend ko eh nasalubong daw nila ang Starbucks experience in GB.

Wala lang. Nostalgic. Namiss ko yung tuksuhan na pati crew ng Starbucks ay nakiki tukso din :)

I added him on my FB, kaya lingid sa kaalaman nila (my friends)eh updated ako sa kanya. Pero wala lang, nacurios lang ang lola mo kasi nga I barely know him then. Naglakas lang ako ng loob one time nung nahanap ko siya when I tried to type his nickname(I included his school) on FB search engine. 

Buti nga inadd niya ako. Ang bait noh? :-) Sana wag naman niyang ispin na stalker ako kahit parang ganun kasi I view his profile once in a while.. hehe

I think he is really, really nice and masipag talaga. Good vibes siya sa akin. 

Gwapo naman at matalino. Higit sa lahat mabait at decent.

Ewan ko lang kung may girlfriend na siya... pero parang wala... 

I admire him kung  siya yung tipo na hindi naghahanap at hindi nagmamadali, bihira kasi ang taong ganun dba?

Well I just hope all goes well with what he is doing kasi I know na mhirap ung career niya. Ill pray for his bar..... naks.. malay mo makatulong yun dba?  :-) 

Anyway, naalala ko lang talaga dahil naging topic namin siya kanina (see figure above) haha

Pero up to now, siya pa rin ang tinutukso nila sakin. Ganda daw ng lovelife ko.. Nge? saan? nasaan ang lovelife?? Hay nako. Mahal talaga ko ng friends ko, atleast tinutukso nila ako sa isang mabuting tao dba? 

Sabi nila wala daw accident sa mundo and that everything happens for a purpose or reason. Kung ganun.. bat ko kaya siya nakilala noh? 

Barefoot

Lately, I've been hooked with the song "Stars Go Blue" because of the melody, lyrics and of course, because it was sang by Andrea (The Corrs) and Bono (U2),

I love Andrea, especially upon noticing that she sang barefoot. It might  kinda look yuck because "sanitation- wise", there are plenty of people who comes up the stage and they come from different locations and you don't know what kind of bacteria they bring with. Anyway, what does being on barefoot mean to you?

COMFORT + RELAX + SEXY + HUMILITY.

These are the 4 words that defines barefoot word for me.

When I was young, I was diagnosed with an allergy from rubber. Because of this, my doctor refrained me from wearing slippers because I think most slippers during that time were made of rubber. It would be uncomfortable for me to wear shoes all day, so mom let me play around the house barefoot. And when my playmates would ask me to play outside, for the sake of being able to play with friends, I go barefoot, even if hurts when I walk in rocky grounds. So I grew up this way.

Honestly, I love being in barefoot. It kinda reminds me to stay or keep my feet on the ground. That no matter what, it was made to work with the ground. I love the odd feeling that you move around without boundaries and that you can directly feel on whatsoever is with the ground whether its smooth or rough and at times hot or cold. The feeling was just as good as the feeling of freedom for me. Its kinda ethnic and the feeling that you are soo human to feel it and that the maker wants to convey humility everytime!

So stomp your feet, and feel the ground! :)

Grateful

Whatever you are and whatever you have right now, the good and the bad, big or little, you should always be THANKFUL!


A grateful heart is a happy heart! :) ♥

Follow thru or Follow up

This is one of the great lessons I've learned from my former supervisor. The importance of follow up.

Every new year I think almost everyone got sort of a resolution in order to improve their lives as fresh start. However, there is one point that we fail to give attention that's why at times, we have that difficulty in accomplishing them, so all plans was goes in vain.

It is important that as we plan, we follow up. Its a must that we check once in a while if we have accomplished the little goals that leads to the accomplishment of one major goal.

This January, I am grateful to say that I have accomplished my goal and that is to find a job! I am currently in the process of submitting my pre-employment requirements. I am just glad that its was thumbs-up for the start of 2010. Now like what I said, it is important that we follow up and as for me, it meant that I must always see that I have an increasing love for this job. Because apart from loving what you do, you will not hold on to it. See?, love is indeed important in everything!! :)

Anyway, I can't reveal the other goals for February. (Mahirap na! Mapurnada pa)

Mission Accomplished

We were having problems with the garbage collection that has been delayed for almost two weeks now. So I went to the town's website to get the email address of any town officer and emailed my concern on that Saturday morning. Saturday meant off for gov't  offficers so they won't be able to read my msg. So I waited. 

Monday, I and my younger sister was at Manila and we just got back this Tuesday morning. I was glad that before I typed this post, they had just collected our problem--the stingy trash! ('',

Forward and on

Hello!

I wanted to post lotsa stories tonight.  Are you ready Superwoman? Well then, good!

First major news, I just got a job! :) Finally, after a year of being stuck, I now have something to keep myself exhausted and busy. I ended up as a TSR, in short, a call center agent . I was not that fortunate to find the same as my previous job, like that of a regular morning shift-office job although I did try for the past months. Maybe I wasn't at my best yet, that's why I failed. Anyway, no big deal for me. What matters is that I earn to save something for my future because I know deep down that I don't want to be employed like for too long or forever, I want a business and I want a lot of it. A bookstore, a hardware, computer-related,a grocery store, farm-related businesses like piggery, poultry  and our green friends included! That's why. Also, I needed to help my mom in the midst of crisis because our life right now is a lot different from how it was since December 26, 2009 and way back. No time to lax, but I kinda miss my old life. I guess God took me out of comfort zone to bring out what's best in me. Thank you God :)

Next on the line is what I've discovered last night about my favorite movies. I couldn't believe that most of the films that has influenced me were from year 1998. I was even surprised with this film entitled October 22, my birth date! And guess what? 1998 is year of the Tiger too, just like 1986 that is my birth year. So I wanted to think and believe that same fate may happen to me this year, and Sherlock Holmes was a good proof. Still, the way is too young to conclude already and that my faith is not with such Chinese beliefs but I trust God alone.

Kanina, napanaghinipan ko nanaman si Chris Tiu and guess what? I think this is the best dream ever! Naging Kami. Yeah. Kinikilig ako every time I think about it!!! Alam naman na he is my ultimate. Pero weird kasi di ko naman siya inisip within the time before I slept. Ano kaya ibig sabihin nun? Sana positive.. mali.. sana magkatotoo!! (ASA) :D

I swear that I will trim down big time at the end of the year.

I would like to say goodbye to Makati. I love the city. It's been 5 years since I last moved but I think that God has better plans for me. I wanted to stay  but events forced me to move out, and I do submit to the One who holds my life.

I've been praying to God to protect and prepare the man for my life. To you my man: We might not be together now, but let's do our very best at whatever and wherever we are, choosing what is best and right as we save our best for something that would last forever between the two of us. ♥

Are you excited life? SO DO I! :D

Happy New Year

It's almost half of the year's first month. I am grateful for reaching another year because I am excited to whatever may happen for the rest of 2010. Anyway, no one can escape situations to happen but yah know there is watcha call "overcome" and ya gotta hit it every time.

This year was very family for me because I am back at home. I mean, I already left the dorm to live with my family. But I am happy and well to see them everyday and hear their daily stories of everyday struggles compared before that I only hear from them like once or twice in a week. It also means exhaustion caused by daily travels, but its ok, seeing them is already a relief.

Mom will be leaving for Palawan every month so I need to attend to my younger sister's needs in her absence.

What else?

Ahmm. basta I am just so happy and so free now!

Looking forward to a greater year with God!

We've moved!

Hi blog! We have finally moved last dec. 27. It was sooo tiring because we really have a llloooott of stuffs at the old house. The new place was waayy smaller compared to that 75sqm house we usually live to but we are all fine today as the location of the apartment is really peaceful.

Remember I told you that I can't bring my dog. Yeah that happened and she's scared of cars too so when I tried to load her over the truck that carried our stuffs, she ran away hehe. Anyway, I found a new little pet now. I think its an abandoned cat and nobody would feed her so I volunteered. Its also an advantage to us so that left overs wont go straight to trash can.

I don't feel well now. Slight fever I guess. Just waitin' for my moma before we'll have our last minute new yr shopping. Kinda chillin over this comp shop at SM. By the way our place is just a jeepney with around 10 mins travel (if w/o traffic) away from SM Marilao so I think we have an outlet of our boredom when it strikes. Guess I'm gonna be a regular shopper here too.

Still lots of new arrangements to make like internet connection etc. I hope that all gets better and well for 2010.

xoxo,
Mafets <3

Happy Birthday Jesus

Boy, this is a last minute post. You can check out the time at the bottom of this article.


The Christmas dinner was perfect. Pictures uploaded on my FB account. But after that comes...

Woke up very late on a lousy morning with a handful of guest who were merely godchildren of my parents that immediately disappear right after they got their Christmas presents. Oh kids. By the way they live just around the neighborhood. I miss my cousins terribly because Christmas was a lot more alive for me during my childhood years because our relatives (a lot of them on my dad's side) pay a visit on Christmas day, so I get  the chance to bond with most of my cousins then. But when dad was gone, one by one they disappeared too.

But embracing Christianity changed the meaning of Christmas with me. My mindset on the past was that Christmas sucks if without a decoration, a gift, a visiting relative and of course good foods! But this time it was a lot more different. This time its more of having the spirit of it everyday in anyway. Well you know that one day we're all gonna leave everything on earth, right? And then we will meet God in Heaven. He won't ask  you something like this "Juan, what did you do on Christmas?". Of course not.


God is the God of details and He knows well what you do in your everyday life. He doesn't look at a certain point, He looks at every single point of what you do.  It is important that you make Christmas spirit always alive and that you have the right focus, the right reference point which can only found in Jesus as the genuine reason of the season. Below are the right aspects on how Christmas should be treated in our hearts and minds:

1. EXPRESSION OF LOVE
Who can give up his own son for the sake of unworthy people? NO ONE HAS DID IT ALONE BUT GOD. IT WASN'T EASY FOR HIM, BUT HE DID IT SO THAT WE MAY KNOW WHAT IS LOVE. That Someone who establishes a law in His Kingdom will be air enough to give up His son because according to His law, blood is the only way for FORGIVENESS of sins. Love is not something that you are comfortable tyo give but love happens when you give and yet you are no longer comfortable.

2. FULFILLED HOPE
Jesus' death, was a fulfilled hope. Jesus' sufferings on the cross was to set an example that no matter how painful a situation will be, we must learn to endure the pain. That since He is capable, we are capable as well.

3. OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE
Jesus came to bring a change to our lives. He saved us from the powers o hell. This season, the challenge is that if you believe in Christ and you say that you have accepted Him in your life, then you too have the authority to make a change and bring a change. Seek out the unpleasant attitudes and childish ways and change anything in you that causes you trouble.  Remember this: IF I CHANGE, EVERYTHING CHANGES. So the truth is that the change is up to you 

4. ACCEPTANCE
Ps.Claudia Castellanos word on acceptance:
"We need to accept the gift of Jesus. Generally, when a person offers a gift, he extends his hand to give the gift and the person receiving the gift can either grant an expression of gratitude to the other person or can simply take the gift, leaving it unwrapped and forgetting about it. However, what usually happens is that the person that receives the present opens it instantaneously, longing to see what the package has to offer them. Jesus can be this closed package, and you can say: "I have Jesus in my heart, and it doesn't matter to me what He can give me, offer me or what I can get from Him." We shouldn't be like that. Instead, we should tell Jesus: "I receive Your life, but I also receive the benefits You have for me." This is when we begin to study the Word of God, and, as we read it, the treasures of God are opened for us, allowing us to understand the great truths God has for our life. My whole life was transformed when I began to discover the treasures the Bible holds."


The spirit of Christmas shouldn't sleep nor die after December. Let it be alive, yet silent but progressively working. :)

Anyway, we are all free to choose with whom would we want to spend FOREVER AND A DAY :)

Don't wake up yet!

Gaaaah! :) CHRIS TIU was in my dreams kanina! Major kilig! He was like telling me in my dreams that he was so thankful of me for always encouraging his younger brother that made the young boy do well in his studies! That my appreciations made his lil bro motivated! Wish it was true though. He is my only local crush in showbiz more than physical attraction! Good looks is too common, but a genuine heart is as rare as pearl. He's Godly, humble and intelligent like that of mr.perfect tho we know he's really not. Dream is pretty weird  nga lang pero i love it hahaha! :)

Sobrang nagagandahan ako sa meaning ng FOREVER AND A DAY.

Yung tipong:

Kung magmamahal ka... forever na nga.. request ka pa ng isa pang araw... ung tipong ayaw mo ng matapos... dahil sa sobrang sarap ng pakiramdam kapag nagmamahal ka ng totoo.. yung tipong wala kang hinihiling na kapalit basta nagbibiay ka lang ng something na taos puso...

Kahit wala pa akong ka-relationship.. yung sum1 na magiging partner for life.. natatamisan na ako sa buhay.. cguro lalo na kung meron noh?  ung tipong tamis NA DI NAKAKAUMAY..

Dibale sa tamang panahon darating din yon :)

In love ba ako?

Oo. Sa buhay ko! :-D
