One Sabado de Gloria Morning

Been working with APAC Customer Services for nearly a year and 3 months now. While its deeply quite out side our bubble, its the other way around if your in it. Its never different for Northgate crowd when its the holy week. Employees are still all over the place, working their butts off for good money. I mean, who wouldnt when it'll be twice of your regular pay we're talking about. Here are some photo i've taken with my not so good phone camera at dark times:

Its 4 in the morning.

People are still up and kickin' it!

Seriously, this is a creepy hall way.

Over looking BELLEVUE HOTEL.

Tree of Life. (Kidding)

The plaza at sunrise.

The sign!

The new Alabang Policy Station. (half empty)

Pathway Home.

Thanks to ma'friends who's more excited to post photos in my blog than i do.

ENCORE

Recently, we came to the fort to have fun. Wasnt expecting to be dragged by friends but i did had some serious fun! We partied at Encore (formerly known as The Embassy Bar). The place still has the ambiance of class and glamor but the fun is not like the way it was before. Imagine, at 2AM there are less people than expected. VIP seats are less occupied. The good thing that night is that they still maintain the way Encore use to rock the party scene. If you'll ask me, i will still recommend Encore to some that are looking for some serious fun. <3

Is there really such thing as a perfect relationship? How do we know if the person were with is the right one? Those are the kind of questions i've been asking my self for the longest time now.

I've been in a relationship before with a guy named MIKE. For me his the perfect man ive been with and having him is the best moment of my life. But our relationship is not like the way i wanted it to be. In short, our moments together are not worth keeping/ not PERFECT.

Everytime mike and i were together, lagi nalang naming napag-aawayan ang mga bagay na nagmumula sa napakababaw na dahilan, SELOS. Having a popular basketball player like mike is not that easy. Girls going crazy over him at campus are like competing with me in a thousand meter race. Ewan ko ba. Masyado na atang nangingibabaw ang selos sakin kaya pati maliliit na bagay napapansin ko. Ganito siguro pagmahal mo ang isang tao, ayaw mo syang mawala sayo.

Our first 6 months together was the worst days of our inter relationship. At first, i cant really adopt with the kind of environment that his into. If his not in class, his always in practice. Yung tipong di ko sya laging nakikita dahil his commited to his team. Para bang nag-aalangan akong ituloy pa ang relasyon naming dalawa noon. Napanghihinaan na ako nang loob dahil i felt alone. Its like being commited to someone invisible.

I broke up with Mike on our 6th month being together. That moment was the most unforgettable evening of my life. Mike cried in front of me that night. He was begging for may forgiveness. he understand what i felt and his sorry for making me feel this way. Dagdag pa nya, "kung kaylan kita kaylangan ngayon mo pa ako iiwan." I felt bad and at the same time i was touched. Nagyon lang may umiyak sakin nang ganito. Hindi ko inakalang may lalaking mangangailangan nang pagmamahal ko. All my life i've been waiting for this moment to come but i didnt realize that i will experience it with Mike.

Niyakap ko sya even without saying a word. I can feel deep in his heart that his truly sincere of his intentions. Pero at that night, isip ko ang pinagana ko and didnt even listen to what my heart has to say. I broke up with him and let him go. That was the most doubtful decision i've ever made.

Even if our relationship is over, di parin tumigil si Mike. His still there begging for my forgiveness. Asking me to give us a second chance. His still doing everything he can to win me back.

But after few months of waiting, It seems that everything has stopped between Mike and i. I dont see him that often. He even stopped sending me gifts and letters. Marami akong natatanggap na balitang his dating someone else pero i ignored everything para maiwasan kong masaktan.

Habang dumadaan ang araw, unti unti akong napagsisisihan ang mga maling disisyon ko from the past. Ngayon ko lang narealize kung gano ka importante sa buhay ko si Mike. Ngayon ko lang narealize kung gano ko sya kamahal.

One night, without even expecting it, Mike visited me. He was there wanting to talk to me. He was there thanking me for everything , for every moments we've had together. I wanted to hug him the moment i saw him but i cant. Its like someone's holding me back.

Mike told me that his setting me free. He wanted me to be happy for loving someone better than him. He told me that i will always have a special part in his heart and never will he regret that i've been a part of his life.

At that moment i was crying. Ayokong mawala sa akin si Mike. I want him to know what my heart has to say pero things has changed na pala. Things are not the same anymore. He love's some else.

Sobrang pagsisisi ang nadama ko noon. Kung puso lang sana ang pinairal ko hindi na sana ako umiiyak ngayon. All kinds of relationship are perfcet and there is no such thing as Mr. Right. Every man as long as you love him is perfect.

Loving is the most meaningful part of living. Dont be afraid of it. Natural lang na masaktan ang isang taong nagmamahal. Sabi nga nila, mas mabuti nang masaktan dahil masasabi mong nagmahal ka kesa di mo maranasang mahalin at magmahal.

Lady Gaga now at the top of her game. Soon, another single will debut from her latest album "Born This Way" in titled JUDAS.

“The greatest challenge in writing ‘Born This Way’ is I had to become confident and secure in myself,” Gaga admits when asked about the most personal thing she could tell her fans. “I had to leave my insecurity behind me. Whatever residual scars behind. I spent two years delving deep into my wounds — the blood transfusion.”

His Last Words (story by: Alber Plarisan)

Love is for every body. Love comes to people who felt loved. Love knows no disrespect, shame and dishonesty. They say we only get one great love in a life time. True. But not all great love means two people being together.

It started in 2001. I got in to a relationship with a great guy named Marco. Marco is simpatiko, humble and honest. We’ve been together for 4 years. Four unforgettable years of my life. Everyday is like a fairytale. I thought way back then na nakita ko na ang taong makakasama ko until the day of my last breath but I was wrong. It’s the other way around. From the very beginning Marco had been straight with me. He tells me everything. We had no secrets. We are open to each other kahit na noong nililigawan pa nya ako. Marco is open even to very personal things.

I know most readers will think of this as a typical story but It doesn’t matter. Marco is a great guy and our story is real. Marco had cancer. He opened up to me since day one. I knew back then that this will get me into heartbreaks if I enter in to a relationship that I know one day will end. But one thing is for sure, I did not regret that I followed my heart. Pinili kong masaktan than not to be happy.

Marco and I shared loads of memories together. We go to road trips, watched movies every weekend and we even go to dinner dates almost every other night. Simple lang ang buhay namin noon. I don’t remember a single sad minute we had together before he got very ill. Marco is the kind of guy who shows you his affection. His not just contented in saying the word I LOVE YOU. He makes sure that he acts what he say. Kung gano kashowy si Marco, yun naman ang kabaliktaran ko. I remember not saying I love him first. Its always him saying the word then me. But he doesn’t mind those small things as long as I know that he loves me.

It was 2003 when Marco started to be weak. We were at the hospital every now and then for check ups and treatments. To be honest, nagquit ako sa trabaho ko nun makasama ko lang sya sa mga huling sandali naming dalawa. Marco never showed me na nahihirapan na sya. He still tells me na we will get through everything. We will get pass every hardship and one day we will still be happy being together. Walang araw noon na hindi ko kinayang hindi umiyak. Almost everytime I see him I cry. Sabi ko sa sarili ko non, “dumating na ang araw na kinatatakutan ko.” Napaisip ako, pano kaya kung pinili kong layuan sya noon palang, magiging ganito kaya kasakit ngayon?

Before Marco died, he read a letter for me. The letter goes something like this, “You gave my life meaning and you gave me hope. Hope that I know that even one day will end between us. But one thing’s for sure, our love is eternal. Our love is forever. I will always give my self to you till my very last day. I love you and thank you for loving me back.” I cried. Ang bigat pala sa dibdib na malamang isang araw mawawala na sayo ang taong tinuring mong parte na di lang nang puso mo kundi pati na ang buhay mo. Marco is my life. He motivates me. Mahirap pala talaga. Mahirap mawalan nang mahal.

Marco told me na hindi ako dapat matakot, hindi dapat akong matakot sa kung ano man ang mangyayari pagkagising ko kinabukasan. Simple lang ang buhay, sabi nya. Hindi natin dapat gawing komplekado ang lahat. Mawawala man sya pero hindi parin magbabago ang pag-ibig. Pag-ibig naming dalawa.

January of 2004, Marco died. I was on my way to the hospital nang bawian sya nang buhay. Pagdating ko, wala na sya.

Its 2011 and still a part of my heart brings back the pain. 7 years ago, sa hospital nang madatnan kong wala nang buhay si Marco hindi ako umiyak. Not until the day of his Funeral. At un ang una’t huling iniyakan ko ang pagkawala nya. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko, hindi naging malungkot ang love story naming dalawa kaya walang dapat iluha. Instead I should remember that once in my life I had Marco to share the meaning of love, UNCONDITIONAL.

Love is never an option but it’s a choice. Pinili nating magmahal kasi alam natin yun ang tama at yun ang nararapat. Love unconditionally and always believe in the power of it. For one day, it will give you joy and contentment. Walang unhappy ending sa buhay nang tao. Everything always end well kahit na kamatayan man ang mamagitan. Marco will always be loved and will always be a special part of me. I think of Marco as my angel. I know that from where he is now, our love still remains eternal and forever.
