Overflowing happiness

It's our day. Lord, thank you. We came this far. You made us tough, strong and stood still for our relationship. You are our strength. Praise God!

Thought he may have forgotten. I remember he once said he made that souvenir item of ours with our anniversary on it his desktop image which made me 'kilig'. So sweet of the love of my life.

Just before the midnight strikes, around 11:15Pm, he called! He said he went out to have his laptop checked and as the usual routine goes, his call isn't complete without the exchange of 'iloveyou(s)' and 'mmmwah(s)'. I really thought he would end the call with his 'iloveyou'. Hmmm... Long before he uttered those 3 lovely words, well, his voice was like a shy teenager saying 'happy monthsarry, mommy ko!" then there goes his 'iloveyou'. Each month of our relationship is important to me, eventhough our first year anniversary passed months ago. My honey is getting sweeter each day which made me miss more of him. I always pray for his safety and of his dad. Don't worry honey, time flies. I'll be here waiting. I'll be seeing you soon!

To my bestfriend..my love...my partner, you are so dear to my heart! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

YOU...

One fine morning, I woke up with a sweet message from you that I was the first person popped on your mind upon waking up. I smiled, hugged my phone and well, kissed your picture [chuckles], what better way to describe the feeling. I missed you so much. You brightened up my day ♥ It makes me giggle [like a teenager who sees her crush] when my phone rings flashing your name on it and totally happy when I hear your voice calling me as your wifey ♥.

♫ 'Cause it's you who fills the emptiness in me ♫

Sweet thoughts popped my mind and planned on doing the following things when we're together..

Eat ice cream together...

Watch movie together...

Stroll somewhere together...

Adventure together...

Enjoy life and each moment together!!!

i love you so much ♥♥♥

What a partner should be...

These past few days, I've been reading updates from my friends on their facebook status about how happy they are of their partners and to some, how miserable it is of having one.

Oh, boy! The latter was an eye catcher. Some of my friends opened up and I portrayed the role of a listener. Listener, yes. I was like a counselor who is open to whatever my client relates but what I did was just listen. I waited for the chance she/they would ask for a piece of advise. If she wanted one, I'll give one. I'm not saying I'm good at this.

I'm happy that my friends finally settled in and joined the bandwagon. I know my time will come to tie the knot and state vows with him. I just couldn't imagine the scenario. I wish it's just as perfect as I perceived it to be. Me and him enduring the most special day of our lives.

For me though, a partner should be...

Faithful. Respects his wife. Doesn't beat his wife. Good provider. Responsible. Patient. Loving [husband and father]. Trustworthy. Regards mutual decisions. God-fearing and best of it all, a friend for keeps.

I do hope and pray that my future hubby will not make things that will surely wreck the home that we built. I guess that would still depend on the person. No one is perfect, everybody makes mistakes but that should make them realize how important they are to their wives and their kids and to the family as a whole. I do pray God would bless us a happy family.

OUR ANNIVERSARY

It's our anniversary and we're on the freeze mode. How sad :( I'm supposed to have colors and sparkling eyes thinking of the person whose special in my life but then, my aura is of gray for the meantime. Why do I have to experience this once again??? Sent you a message extending my greetings despite the 'space' I gave you. I dunno if you would respond.

Our first misunderstanding was the worst. It still infuriates me thinking of that particular person. I guess it's because that's the time when the real "getting to know each other" part gets serious. We were serious about this relationship. There may be bumps along the way but we will just pass through it smoothly...together!

I am hoping we could talk again soon and resolve what it needs to be resolved. I know this is again another test to our relationship. I always thought of you, honey. I loved you so much. Sometimes people who love each other really have to go through these stages to make their relationship stronger and that giving up isn't the way to solve the problems.

Is it ok to feel this way? Nah..I'm being hurt again. Crying as I am hitting the keyboard of my PC. Why? do explain why. I know this phase will PASS. We got over with the first one and this time around, it's something else. It's your call.

In the clouds again ;-)

I'm just happy and love the feeling. Feels good to be back in the clouds again. Had a good talk with my partner and we're on the good side of the road again. I hope this will be for good. Thank you Lord! See you in a few months, honey. I LOVE YOU, TOO!! Take care always, ok? Keep safe.

I have to post this before I retire to bed. Will be sleeping with a smile on my face ;-) Goodnight!

Relax and Unwind

As much as I wanted to stay home, my foot is eager to go somewhere. I received an invitation from Van and her students to go with them at Claire John Resort located at Punta Biao, Cogon Digos City. Its a secured pool resort near the beach so visitors has the option to breeze-in through the ocean waters. The weather is somewhat inviting and so with the heat from the sun. Sunblocks are a must!!

Mapi feel mo na Summer is already here...

Checked on the things to bring and off we go. I was dropped off at the Resort by my sister and her bf. On our way to the Resort, sige mi agik-ik ug katawa tingalig mangahulog ang lukay sa lubi sa amoa mao na sige mi hangad...hahahaha!!

And the road going there? oh my, you were like riding an off-road vehicle, up and down a hill.

Entrance ranges from P10-20 only. Yes, that cheap. They took the biggest cottage and when I asked and looked for the students, some of them were already swimming looking like kids [smiles]. Found out also our amegah [friend] is coming and on his way. I convinced him kasi super stressed din si amegah. This is gonna be fun!

I was really planning to swim but I was having doubts plunging looking at the pool water. It's already crowded and I withdrawn. Anyways, I'll just feast my eyes on the joyful moments of our students. It will make me feel good though.

I brought along my camera and partner tripod. Yen opted to be the photographer that day. My tripod gave him a big help, he gets to be with group including us during picture taking.

When Jopay arrived, the tres mujeres [3 women] had a pictorial again and seize the moments eating pinipig. The food they prepared was good. Thank you so much for inviting us over. We, your teachers really need this.

I did have a good time. The calming breeze of the water alleviated some stressor(s) around me. No worries bothers me anymore 'cause GOD never left me and I'm still blessed because He lead me to the path where I should be going. God bless to us all. :)

Learning more about the Lola's

Today is the Graduating Class' Recollection at San Isidro Church. Graduation is forthcoming next Wednesday. I dropped by at School first before heading to church. Had to meet up with the Registrar concerning the academic standing of one of our students.

At the church, the Graduating class officers handed in the remembrance T-shirts with an Adviser printed at the back. Thank you, guyz! :) Lunch time came, we started distributing the foods for each student. It was a good experience. Na happy jud ko. :) Jopet, Van and I had a short talk may our students learn the value of this whole day event and instill in their minds the moral lessons people from the church imparted. I do pray also for the reconciliation of someone very close to me. May our minds be enlightened! You Take care always. Keep safe :)

At 2:30pm, we headed to the Shelter for the Elderly. Our students interaction with the Elderly's at the Camillian continues. People there including Sister Minda were glad to have us back since most of the Lola's [tagalog term for Elderly's] has seen quite improvement most especially their human relations. We, the Faculty from HCS Department is thankful also to the Camillian Sisters for gracing us the time to spend with the Lola's.

Truly, you became our extended family. Caring for the Elderly is not that easy. Sometimes, you feel sorry and pity towards them knowing some of their family members still exist. But no matter what, we're here for you Lola's and we'll continue to visit you often times. We love you so.

One of the jolly Lola in the Shelter is Lola Lila. She has a sharp memory. She could remember ones identity by means of holding on to her palms. I was touched when one instance I introduced myself to her and told her that I am one of the Instructors of the trainees who were taking care of them. She uttered my fullname and my designation when I hold on to her palms. She was about to tell me something but that time, dinner is served for them. Yup, as early as 5pm kasi they had to go to bed early also. Don't worry Lola Lila, we'll be back on Monday. I am missing you already.

While waiting for our students to finished doing after care, I continued conversing with Sister Minda. She handed me this clear book and I was surprised to see an array of the Blessed Virgin Mary's photos. It became her hobby of collecting pictures of the Sacred Our lady from all over the world. She had an extraordinary collection. Now, she began collecting photos of different churches and she related she'll start with the ancient ones. Told her am gonna take pictures of churches in Luzon or where ever may pagkalaagan takes me..hehehe! When I get the chance to have a short vacation.

We never went back to San Isidro 'cause we thought they finished as scheduled. We headed home instead. My day was not put to waste. :) Thank God for the guidance and for leading me to the good side as what You always do to people who believe in You.

confused

It's pass 3am, 3:20am to be exact and couldn't sleep. A lot of things is lurking on my mind. Is it due to stress from work? life? love life? Ahm, I guess the 3rd one is closer. I just need peace of mind. How do I get over this feeling?

Sometimes, I am the type of a person who reserves feelings and emotions especially when it comes to the matters of the heart. I know, I know this should be spoken out. This should be ventilated. My thoughts are contradicting with what my heart is telling. Just when you thought everything is falling into place, someone tries to ruin it. Someone tries to intrude. Someone makes it complicated.

The road was clear to pass and a manhole just popped, waiting for someone to fall so this person can fill-in the spot. A space that is not meant for this person anymore. Move on with your life!!

Best bud patz, let's have coffee.

Sad Valentines :(

This was supposed to be a day full of love.

I somewhat expected I'd be having a warm valentines but what surprised me was a cold treatment. I dunno. Maybe people would expect you to do something against your will. Maybe someone else can accomplish such thing for your sake! How selfish!

Basta, malungkot ang Valentine's ko... Hindi RED ang kulay kundi BLUE.

PCDS Alumni Homecoming 2009

Tarpauline courtesy of Mr. N. Otbo

Last year, I wasn't able to witness the very first Reunion 'cause the gathering ended too early so I looked forward to this. I was thinking what to wear and what hairstyle to do before the event and come up with a simple jeans and blouse outfit. I was expecting numerous people would attend but only few were present. It was supposed to start at 3pm as announced. I thought it started already but when I got there, only March Shane, Ma'am Les, Lyndon and Ma'am Jen were present. Kulang malamang sa information dissemination kaya di alam ng ibang madlang people ang tungkol sa gathering. Sana nagpa advertise sila sa TV or radio or an invitation may be given. Next time maybe. :)

While waiting for the others, we head to the School's mini but cozy Restobar upstairs of the new Admin-HRM building wherein you can overlook part of Digos City. Wow! [that's all I could say]. Para ka talagang nasa Hotel kasi its situated along McArthur Highway. Killing time reading magazines, two from the batch 2003 of Criminology Department came in, Mr. B. Tapanan and Mr. A. Canoy. 'Hi's and 'Hello's' were exchanged. Wala na man gud daw sila contact sa lain nila nga ka-batch.

I kept on texting my batchmates to come over and join the gathering but only Michequela replied she would catch up. I sensed some alibis from the others and understood the reason of some who cannot come due to call of duty [ya know what I mean]. Then, someone arrived. It was Jay A. with his fiancee [char!]. He obviously gained some weight and very much looked happy. I felt relieved a bit having someone from our group/batch. Syempre, chikka galore! Jay is working as Clinical Instructor of our Alma Mater.

Around 6pm, Eddie G. welcomed everyone who were present and had each one of us to state our names, what course and from what batch. And to spice up the event, we played 'Paint me a Picture' in which each member of the group would act and freeze as to what picture or scene would the host wants. The judge was Ma'am Jen Ybanez, presently the School's Dean of Nursing who was also an Alumna of PCDS. We, the group 2 only got 2 points defeated by the group of Marc Shane who got 5 points. It was FUN! Group 1 were very creative with their acts. Nurses are indeed artistic and creative. Can't wait to see the pix which Ma'am Jen took for documentation.

That game made our stomach gurgling. Gigutom na among mga bitok, hahaha!!! Before meals were served, Ed opened up the highlight of the gathering: to organize and elect new sets of Officers. Hopefully, this 2010 PCDS will Officially declare its Alumni Association. Paper works are already in progress. Secretary Eddie G. is currently working on this.

President elect Marc Shane Adeva got a unanimous votes [congrats, shane!], presided the nomination and was succeeded by Mr. B. Tapanan. Secretary is still Mr. Ed Garbosa and yours truly was nominated and elected as the Alumni Treasurer [I thought I was through with this during College.] Having been the Treasurer [from Class treasurer to Department Treasurer to INTRAMS Team Treasurer since First year College, now, I'm at it again [sighs]. Anyways, thanks for the trust guyz! I guess I'll be facing a much bigger task. PIO [Public Information Officer] goes to Mr. N. Otbo. Goodluck new sets of Officers and Congratulations!

May humabol pa, si Ma'am Flora Mae, Michay, Ate Bem Gutierrez, Elizabeth, Jeffrey A., Bench Lopez, Loi and her twin brother Lemuel [fresh from Saudi <--welcome back!] followed by Gil and Lynel [gikan pud ni Saudi ang duha]. Very noticeable ang ringtone sa CP ni Lemuel kay katong scary sound sa Grudge. Nyay!

For our dinner, we had Pork and Chicken BBQ individually packed and refreshed with Coca Cola. Hopefully next gathering would be a bit 'bongga!'. While enjoying our meals, we talked about our whereabouts. Glad to hear from these guys again. Ma'am Jen and Eddie went home early.

The room was filled with so much laughter. Jeffrey, Bench and Gil's cool gags never ceased to make us all laugh. Sayang nga lang at wala si Chaky, Richard, Odiaman at Neil kay magsige na lang jud mi ug pangatawa aning grupoha.

Amazed by the development of PCDS, the group was excited to see the New Funda Lab. Walking through the hallway, we reminisced the times siting on those kiosk holding bulky photocopies and manuals waiting for our Instructors, then..the heels of our black shoes gets a dose of muddy stuff each time we passed by..now, the hallway is fully cemented..bow! how could someone forget the intrigueros and intrigueras na walang humpay sa pagpanglibak sa mga gaagi nga estudyante. hahaha!! [people who makes fun of students who passes by]. Then, we were all clad in pencil uniforms with a universe-like tailor infront. Now, Blouse and Pants are in, paired with black shoes. The hallway was echoed with laughter recalling and sharing stories of those unforgettable Instructors who sells photocopies for P2 and those who sells Peanut Butter right after Class. How can we forget.

Bongga! was the word I heard when we step inside the Lab. The equipments, tools, their Mini DR, mini OR, CSR and even the Nurses Station feast their eyes. I've seen this already when I served as Practicing Assessor for Competency Assessment of HCS NC II last June, 2009. The guys made fun of Gil trying to lock him at LD-RD Room. Wow, our school is different! It changed for the better.

We took pictures and recalled each experience we had during Return Demonstrations. The New Lab has numerous hospital beds unlike before [hahaha!].

Pass 8pm, we parted ways. But before that, gisulit jud ni Ate Bem ang chance to take pictures sa labas ng dear Alma Mater namin where all the faces of those who passed the Board Exam were posted.

It was good seeing them all again and had so much fun. So, to all GRADUATES OF POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE OF DAVAO DEL SUR, see you all next year for the 3rd Alumni Homecoming.

Goodnight, guyz! :)

A happy call

We were heading school after our morning shift duty when I checked on my phone, I got a missed call from my Honey. My students stared at me teasing 'cause of an indifferent smile that was drawn on my face. Well, you know..[chuckles]

I had my phone switch into silent mode for the rest of our duty. Of course, I was hoping he'd call again..hehe. So, I changed my tone and waited for the call again. I know at that time he was at work. and maybe, just called to check on me or misses me siguro, ahehehe...sabay ganon.

Anyways, at home while tapping keyboard infront of my PC, he called again. People at home were teasing and just like any teenager, sino kayang di kikiligin??? Well, had to make this short, though. Just wanna share that I had a tiring yet happy day because of that call made by Honey. He doesn't know pa about this post. I guess when he gets the time to stay longer infront of his PC, he would find out. I'm just happy, smiling while typing the words. It's been 4months na pala. Thank you for the calls [with an 's' kay kadaghan na man - hahaha], honey. I am beginning to spill sugars in here..lamigason ta ani ug taman. Hunong na..hehehe.. Basta, take good care of yourself, always. Stay safe. You know how much I love you. God Bless! (",)
