Opportunity and Reality

Posted by Wayne | Thursday, July 27, 2006

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us...

Reality is the name we give to our disappointments...

VALUE OF WORK

Posted by Wayne | Monday, July 17, 2006

You say you love me, but sometimes you don't show it. In the beginning, you couldn't do enough for me. Now, you seen to take me for granted. Some days I even wonder if I mean anything to you all.


Maybe when I am gone, you'll appreciate me and all the things I do for you. I'm responsible for getting the food on your table, for your clean shirt, for the welfare of your family... a thousand and one things you want and need. Why, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn't have a cell phone.

I've kept quiet and waited to see how long it would take for you to realize how much you really need.

Cherish me, take care of me and I’ll continue to take good care of you. Who I am? I am your JOB.

Sticky Media Solutions Inc., a company who outsource information technology and business process – copy and content writing, web design, programming and systems development, where I work as an Outsource Link Specialist held its seminar last Saturday, July 8, 2006 at around 3pm. Again, I am late, but only 20 minutes and I guess the admin staff understand since I am on the graveyard shift. When I arrived, Mr. Garrido, one of our bosses was delivering the vision and mission of the company. It was a dramatic entrance wherein all of my officemates starred at me and smiled, wondering why I was late. I learned a lot from the said activity. After that, we all went to the office since the seminar was held at CafĂ© Verandah of the Cagayan River View Hotel. I waited about 50 minutes for Jamel (a friend of mine) because we decided to watch a movie, make some grocery and have a dinner. But since he didn’t come around, I went to the mall alone and bought ingredients for spaghetti. My one and only nephew, Vincent had his birthday last July 9. He just turned 4 years old. His birthday was held in our house prior to the request of my mother and my father. I only have 30 minutes left in the grocery since it will be close at 9pm. I was so pressured. Go go go Wayne. When I was at the counter, I saw one of my officemates (Clyde); I called him and asked who's with him? Why is he here? Why he didn't tell me he will be at the mall at that time so that he could accompany me than waiting for my other friend (Jamel) who has no word of honor. Well, he has a problem. As a friend, I comforted him and gave some advices, which is my role and obligation as his friend. I am my friend’s councilor, when they have problems they open it up to me. When my friends are having misunderstanding with each other, I put myself in-between and not be bias of who’s who to blame and fault. After having a grocery, I went back to the office and work. At around 12mn, Wheng, Clyde's friend who happens to be my friend too texted me that he is in our city and wants to have some fun. I told Clyde about it but he is not in the mood to go hangout and besides he is not feeling well. So I made an excuse to my boss and met Wheng. I decided to hang out with him for 2 hours then I will go back to work, just to hang out, have fun, and entertain my friend who lives in a nearby city. We ate; we went to a bar and have some beer. At last, I have been to this place I am so curious about. Thanks to Wheng. Well, we just visited a bar with strippers, winks. Tik, tak, tik, tak, It was past 2 am, I wanted to go back to the office but I am having fun, hehe. So I decided to extend my time. That was my first experience and you know first is the most enjoyable, memorable, and unforgettable. The bar closes at 3am but Wayne and Wheng are still having fun and not contented with the night. So we decided to go somewhere else and enjoy the moment. We went to Park Cafe, open almost 24 hours situated in the heart of Cagayan de Oro City. It has a cozy ambiance, cool people, hospitable staffs, and good food. We talked almost everything from family, friends, work, and love life, winks. And were tired afterwards. I drank 5 bottles of beer. We walked for a long distance just talking, hehe. We laugh, shout, and even cried (just kidding), well, we also have serious topics discussed. I went back to the office 30 minutes before my off time. When I arrived at the office Clyde was sleeping. When he woke up, I told him everything, the fun me and Wheng had. He wished he was there but he is no feeling well at that time and decided to take a rest at the office (sorry Clyde, better luck next time, lol).

I was home at around 7:45 am. When arrived, I saw my nephew wide-awake. Maybe he is waiting for the spaghetti and me. I greeted him and kissed him. We do play most of the time when he visits us. My nephew is having fun playing with me; maybe I still have this kid in me. Aside from that, I’m the youngest in the family so maybe I am longing for a small brother, hehehe. I love my nephew so much. He is so cute, very innocent, an angel in disguise for me. Whenever I have a problem he will just come near me and talk nonsense things that make me smile. At around 9am people are getting busy preparing for the foods and cleaning the house since some of my aunts will be coming over. While they are busy, I went to my bed to sleep. When I woke up, my aunts where there 4 of them. We don’t have much visitor since the foods served were limited. So I ate, I was so full and play with my nephew. In a while I felt sleepy again, so I sleep, winks. Sleeping is my favorite hobby. When I woke up, the place was so dark and silence was surrounding the place. Without knowing it was 3 in the morning, hahaha, as what I have said I love sleeping. So slumber land again, winks! Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my nephew VINCENT! Wish you become a better person when you grow old. Always remember that one of the most powerful forces in the world is the will of the man who believes in himself, who dares to aim high, to go confidently after the things he wants from life.

- Whether its finishing your personal website, your first blog, or your chores, many important things in life are easier to accomplish when you can focus totally on yourself. Thats when you can:

* STRENGTHEN YOUR FRIENDSHIP. An unattached man or woman has the time to appreciate and enjoy friends, both new and old. Make plans with friends- beaches, concerts, movies, picnics.

* FURTHER YOUR CAREER. Without a girfriend or a boyfriend, you have extra time, extra energy, and fewer personal demands. Now is the time for advancement if that's what you want.

* FIND YOUR HIDDEN TALENTS. Did you ever want to learn photography? Do it now. Did you ever dream of learning how to drive? Why not now?

* DEVELOP YOUR INTERESTS. French? Japanese? Bodybuilding? Mountain climbing? Travel? NOw is the time to try something different.

* FIND YOURSELF. Being alone means you can be utterly self involved. Whether you are searching for your inner child or the secrets of the universe, there is no one to account to but you.

* LOSE YOURSELF. Take a walk along the shore, a bike ride outside the city, or go on a retreat in a mountain hideaway. It's your choice and your schedule.

* DO YOUR LIFE YOUR WAY. You can go to sleep when you want to, for as long as you want. You can eat exactly what you want, when you want, and where you want. You can go where you want, when you want, with whom you want and come back when you feel like it. YOu can spend your time the way you want to. You can also send your money on whatever you see fit. In short, you dont have to reach compromises with anyone. Make the most of it.

MIND VS. HEART

Posted by Wayne | Monday, July 03, 2006

If we would let our hearts rule our actions, would we be impulsive? Of course, we would do anything whatever our hearts desire. But if we would let our minds control our behaviour, would we be happy because we tend to rationalize everything? Most of the times reasons and emotions are not on the same side. Would we do feel or follow what we think? Life sometimes is very confusing. We dont know what to follow, especially when it comes to lovelife..

Oftentimes, we dont know what choices to make "kung conflicting ang ating pag-iisip at pakiramdam". For example, if you have to make a choice between the following and you would have to choose one:

Who would you rather be with?

a. be with someone you love who doesn't love you back?

b.be with someone who loves you but whom you doesn't love?

Love is also making decisions. Who to keep, when to let go, when to fight. The choice we make may not keep us happy, but we know somehow it is the right thing to do....

Forever Blue

Posted by Wayne | Monday, July 03, 2006

Have you heard this song? Well, I kind of like it, maybe it's like i can relate to it. Visit: http://www.tristancafe.com/music/flash/foreverblue.html, enjoy singing!
FOREVER BLUE
------------------
by: Jed Madela
from the album: Songs Rediscovered (Repackaged)

Used to like the sound of the rain
And feel your arms around me
Together we go insane,
But I wake up to where I should be
I've longed for the wind,
They touch me through my feelings
And you'll never know till they begin,
What you want is really what it means

CHORUS:
Don't wanna be forever blue
'Cause I deserve some love that's true
Finding it the hard way
And wishing for it everyday
I guess I was wrong to want you, yeah
'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
To be forever blue

Gonna find some other guy for me
This time it will be just like the wind
Coming at the time it must be
And blowing to where I should be
I've longed for the wind,
They touch me through my feelings
And you'll never know till they begin,
What you want is really what it means

CHORUS:
Don't wanna be forever blue
'Cause I deserve some love that's true
Finding it the hard way
And wishing for it everyday
I guess I was wrong to want you, yeah
'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid, yeah, I'm afraid
To be forever blue

BRIDGE:
Don't wanna be alone
I need someone to hold on to
And share my dreams with a love
A love that's always true

CHORUS:
Don't wanna be forever blue
'Cause I deserve some love that's true
Finding it the hard way
And wishing for it everyday
I guess I was wrong to want you, yeah
'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
To be forever blue
