Silent Decisions

Throughout life, we will always be making those silent decisions.  Whether in our sleep, in the bathroom taking a shower, walking on the street, sitting on a bus, we make decisions.  Our brains run on a constant speed that cannot be stopped for as long as we are alive.  We think of things unintentionally sometimes, and we make decisions about them.  These decisions might be important or not.  But that's what they are -- choices and steps we decide to take.

And right now, I think I will stick to my silent decision I made weeks back or maybe it was years back and it's just taking a little bit more time to stand by it.

Thursday Thoughts

I recently started a new job and everyone has truly been wonderful in their own way.  My brain's an amazing array of thoughts right now and it just revolves so much around the time spent at work, the job itself, my friends at home, my family, my life.  I guess in short, a lot of people would say that I might be going through a quarter life before I even step into age 2-5!

There is probably nothing more now that I want right now than just to pick up the phone and call someone (Lady Antebellum plays in the background) but I think after 5 years? or so? I don't really keep count anymore, I really shouldn't.  I look into people's Facebook pages and it just seems like everyone's been moving forward except for me.  I don't know... or maybe it's the other way around.  Or maybe I haven't gotten to that point where I've found what I've wanted to reach?

 I literally don't know.  I couldn't say that I am at a crossroads because I seem to have my life in front of me.  That road.  You know?  And all I have to do is just live it.  And I try.  Really.  So despite the discomfort that a lot of activities may pose, I go out and do it, and maybe, it will bring out the life in me.

Who knows?

house 6 finale thoughts

Albeit the ring of cliche around the Season 6 Finale of House MD, I still thought it was kinda sweet. :)

discovery home and health day

watched 2 interesting and scary shows on Discovery Home & Health today...

1. This man who weighed 800+pounds could barely move... His goal is to reach a walking figure of 220 pounds... 
2. This lady with multiple sclerosis...didn't know she was pregnant. And gave birth to twins in the toilet...

Just ... wow.

Try (Asher Book) - [Fame 2009 OST]

TRY
Asher Book

If I walk would you run
If I stop would you come
If I say you’re the one would you believe me
If I ask you to stay would you show me the way
Tell me what to say so you don’t leave me
The world is catching up to you
while your running away to chase your dream
Its time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
and maybe im not ready

CHORUS
but I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

if I sing you a song would you sing along
or wait till im gone , oh how we push and pull
if I give you my heart would you just play the part
or tell me it’s the start of something beautiful
am I catching up to you
while your running away , to chase your dreams
its time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
and maybe im not ready

CHORUS
but I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

2x Huh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh huh huhhh

If I walk would you run
If I stop would you come
If I say you’re the one would you believe me

Knock, Knock

Coming home from a 5 hour church session last Sunday, I was in bed watching TV when some people rang my doorbell.

*Ding*Dong*

Who is it?

We just want to share the word of God...

I am a Christian already..

*and they proceed to leave me Jehovah's Witness pamphlet..*

la lang.

2010 May Polls

The Filipinos vote today in the first ever automated polls in the country. One part of me is very proud -- this is a major milestone! Another part of me is quite uneasy if we have educated the voters enough.

I do pray for safe elections this year. And may the winner lead the country to where its talent is supposed to be.

A bit and a piece

While catching up on the episodes of House Season 6 today, 13 tells a patient, "you don't have to win anyone's heart, you just have to ask for it"

A Friday Morning Like No Other

Nothing beats having a bad Friday morning. You know that feeling when you build up the earlier part of your week that you will eventually come to a Friday? Well, I did just that this week. It's my 2nd week on a new job, make no mistake of thinking that I hate it. I love the new job. It gives me a lot of time to study the policies and learn from different good people. But today, was just different for me.

I woke up at 430 in the morning to figure out that there's a rainstorm pouring outside. Ugh, I would have to walk in the rain to get to an 830 AM meeting with the US. (Bad Thought #1) I went back to sleep and woke again at 7 -- checked the TV for the rainstorm warning and noted that it was Amber and not Black, and therefore I had to go to work. I had that bad sick feeling in my stomach that feels like I just need to puke something or someone out of my system if that's ever possible. (Bad Thought #2)

After preparing, I went down and brought a check and went to the doorman of my building. He went menopausal on me because I asked him for a favor that in case the water delivery guy came, if he could just hand him the check. He went ranting on me like he will never do me any more favors in the future. And then, at that moment, I knew who I wanted to puke out. (Bad thought #3)

So, I took the train because it was raining, rushed to work only to find out that my 830 call is transferred to two weeks after. It was rescheduled 13 minutes before the call.

Nothing beats starting a morning that way. A Friday to boot.
