How time flies when your having fun, right? - This would have been appropriate if we spent the whole of 1 year with all smiles and laughter. But it was never all pink tainted. We had our moments.. But we got through them.. together. And yesterday,we celebrated the first milestone.. LOL... T'was fun and wet... and.. hahaha... memorable.

We woke up and were greeted by the darkness of the morning. Apparently, there was a low pressure area -something which will be the cause of the whole-day rain... Not a great way to start but it's ok.. nothing can dampen my mood.. except him... ^_^

It started raining even before we left the house. So while waiting for the rain to subside a bit, we played Final Fantasy Echoes of Time. After around an hour, we went out to eat lunch. It was 2:00pm.

Then we rode a jeep to Cubao. When we got off, the rain started pouring hard. So we had 2 choices (which were my choices prior to the day). Go to UN or to Makati. I asked for a sign.. (if the next person to exit that door is a girl, we go to Makati, if a guy, we go to UN). We went to Makati.. ^_^ The pictures will speak for themselves..





We have the target papers and the bullet shells to prove how good we were! hahaha....

Ok.. so after 50 bullets, we went back to Glorietta to play a round or 2 of GF/DM and eat dinner. It was still raining cats and dogs.. (and didn't stop til we were about to go home at.. 9:30?)

We ate at The Texas Smoke'em...



T'was a boring Greenbelt that day but we were enjoying the day together, we couldn't care less. But of course we have to go home so after eating, we went to SM for sketch to get his dose of Marvel vs Capcom and then we went home...

Oh... after dinner, he gave me his gift.....



Clue? I'm wearing them in this picture. ^_^

We're planning to spend more years together, of course...  A great year to start.. Omedetou... Kyo!

Something done while bored

rika

I was browsing through friends' posts when I stumbled upon Mommy's blog on 'their" zodiacs' compatibility. So I googled mine and B's. I've read 2 site results so far. One is posted on my PPF shrine and the other, is here.. LOL

from: http://astrology.about.com/od/libralovematches/qt/LibraAquarius.htm

Love Match - Libra and Aquarius

Levitating Love

By Molly Hall, About.com


Cardinal Air and Fixed Air

Sparks fly when Libra and Aquarius meet, and conversation is the doorway to rapture. First dates gain momentum because there's a mental rapport between these two air signs. Libra likes to initiate ideas, and Aquarius responds with a wholly original perspective. Aquarius warms to Libra's clear-eyed and balanced sythesizing. Libra is awed by the leaps of logic and unusual ways that Aquarius frames ideas. Both are mentally stimulated, and this serves as a basis for all their adventures together.

Libra is attracted to the detached cool of Aquarius, and comfortable with that airy 'friends' approach at first. The Waterbearer oohs and aahs over Libra's way with style, and graceful public demeanor. Aquarius is more at home among friends, while Libra likes to do things as a twosome. They're both social animals, and that colors how they spend vacations and weekends. But Libra likes to be romantically wooed, even in a committed partnership, and will want some time alone with Aquarius to rekindle the spark.

If Libra is indecisive, wanting to include all options, Aquarius can be fixed in their thinking. Libra shows Aquarius the balancing view, and helps them present their ideas in the best light. The genius thinking patterns of Aquarius embolden Libra to follow their own threads of inspiration. Aquarius can be stubborn in its dogged pursuit of its interests, and that spurs Libra on to higher heights, too. These two inhabit the world of ideas. As they share life's fascinations in an atmosphere of mutual respect, their love grows.

Famous Couples: Ang Lee (Libra) and Zhang Ziyi (Aquarius); Franklin D. Roosevelt (Aquarius) and Eleanor Roosevelt (Libra); John Lennon (Libra) and Yoko Ono (Aquarius); Brigitte Bardot (Libra) and Roger Vadim (Aquarius); Clark Gable (Aquarius) and Carole Lombard (Libra); Kelly Preston (Libra) and John Travolta (Aquarius); Geena Davis (Aquarius) and Jeff Goldblum (Libra); John Lemmon (Aquarius) and Felicia Farr (Libra); Alan Cumming (Aquarius) and Saffron Burrows (Libra)

Writer's Block: Six-Word Story

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?...

The Queen's Knight

Congrats! Only 4-5% of the population score this!

The Queen’s Knight is armed with rose-colored glasses. The mundane comes to life and nature becomes expressive of spirit. The interesting thing about this Knight is the ability to switch from fantasy to reality. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is the type that may have had imaginary friends as a youngster. Their stuffed animals also were great companions. The Queen’s Knight will see the good in almost anyone or anything – but their depth of emotion can remain hidden even from themselves. Circumstances tend to reveal sudden responses.


Not all life is rosy and this Knight is not exempt from disappointment or frustration with humanity. They may feel incompetence when dealing with their own ethical values. Things aren’t simply white black, but a grand battle of Good versus Evil. Evil must be reckoned with but Good shall eventually win. It is not that they fight evil, but that they fight for the essence of moral good. Doing something good is quite satisfactory for them and indeed increases their happiness. It is when something is not reciprocated to them that they are saddened and disappointed by others. They learn that others aren’t as self-sacrificing.


The Queen's Knight is dominated by an inner world of intense feeling and deeply rooted ethics. They seek to form their life based on their views. They are highly curious of those around them so are readily accepting of others unless their values are being threatened. They promote insight and understanding amongst others and contribute well thought ideas. They however can be a bit too idealistic.

Your EQ is 140



You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.



You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you're unafraid of the world and its challenges.

You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses - as well as the weaknesses of others.



While you are quite stable, you don't respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up.

But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction.

You Are An Understanding Girlfriend!



You care about your guy, so much that you tend to put him first

And while this makes your relationship smooth, sometimes you let big things slide

Still be your understanding self, but if something really bothers you - let your guy know

He'll still want you, even if you occasionally disagree





What Nonaleam Means



You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.



You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.

You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.

At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.







You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.



You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.

Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.



You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.







You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.

You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.

You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!



just had to post it. hahahahaha!!!

Ok, since I can't visit the forums everyday to update ( not anymore :( ), I'm writing this down on paper first then type it when I have the time. I actually thought about this topic while I'm cooking breakfast for myself 2 weeks ago (yes mine, eto na po) for myself alone in my apartment. hehehe... Ms. Chii, this may help. :)

Here it goes:

So, here i am cooking and bored out of my wits and i ask myself: how do i manage to keep myself sane? Sane meaning i can still carry out a conversation with a fellow human being and they don't think of - or sometimes they do but not to the extent of actually- calling an ambulance and sending me to loony bin. as i've disclaimed when i posted the Defence Mechanisms, i don't have a PhD but i do have a list of simple things i do that may benefit the stressed out people who read my posts.

These are my anti stressors: (follow at your own risk)

Observe your surroundings.

Coming to and from work, i use public transportation. And to get my mind off the "urgent things" i NEED to think about, i usually observe the people and the passing surroundings. I don't know about you guys but i often notice those things that "busy" people often neglect coz most of the time, they're too preoccupied with what they'll be doing at home or at work - the blue sky, a full moon, butterflies in the metro, an old couple holding hands on the street- i see these things and become thankful that there is still beauty amidst the chaotic monotony of everyday life and THIS makes me feel better.

So the next time you feel really stressed out, OBSERVE. Almost always there is something that will make you smile, even for just a while, and that's a start, right?

SMILE often!

Yes, sometimes even if you don't have a reason to! and yes, i'm not kidding. But i'm also not saying to do it everytime and everywhere coz that's just wrong! hahaha... We have this saying in the call center business: Smile, your customers can hear it. And if you listen to calls, it's actually true! and this is the usual catalyst of a conversation. A simple smile can do wonders for you and the people around you. But of course, you can't always be happy or contented with your life so it is very hard, right? So with regard to this, i'm going to share something.

One fact about myself is that i'm generally shallow. A corny joke can give me a stomachache from laughing so hard, a good look at the beautiful moon leaves me awestruck, Nuriko dying in Fushigi Yuugi made me cry for 30 minutes non-stop, and sometimes, FEU losing to any other school in UAAP makes my blood boil i want to punch someone. Since i am like this to minute stuff, imagine my emotion when something "big" comes up! I really can't explain it but letting myself "feel" strongly about things help me get by. Coz i know that those emotions WON'T last. And what i do is that i let myself feel then i choose to look at whatever it is positively so i can STILL smile, however big the problem is. BUT, this works for me coz i'm an eternal optimist. How about the over thinkers, the pessimists and the apathetic?

If you are not like me, then let me try to persuade you in practice of smiling by doing a simple exercise: Look at yourself in the mirror and just smile. Your face lights up and even for a little bit, you feel your heart's burden diminishing, right? That's the power of smiling. Feels good, ne? How much more if you couple it a positive outlook? Just try it and you may actually like it. Start small by showing those pearly whites when you feel good or when you see something cute or what not, ok? PM me for feedback on this. :)

Appreciate Everything.

I was depressed for the longest time last year when i started the practice of appreciation. I appreciated the fact that i didn't cry that much, that i was still breathing (coz the experience felt like slow death), that i was given the opportunity to undo things i did, that ihave a job i can focus on, that i lost my fair-weathered friends and built a stronger bond with my true friends, I became thankful for the depression, the anger, the memories and everything else.Coz at the end of the day or when we look back to it, these things are what molded me into what i am today. If i hadn't gone through the ordeal, i may still be vulnerable and weak in my facing the ordeals that this b*tch we call life throws at me. Now i can say, "Bring it on!" and know that i have a fair chance of winning.

So, the next time something happens to you, may it be good or bad, take time to say thank you to whoever it is that you believe in for giving you the opportunity to experience it. It only means that He believes that you can transform it to something beneficial and you'll come out alive. Be appreciative of the good things because they make you feel good and be thankful of the bad things because they give you the chance to learn a thing or two about life and yourself. Those learnings will be your sword and shield althroughout your existance. Use them wisely.

Lastly, have some ALONE TIME

Even for just one hour a week, devote some of your time to yourself. And i'm talking about no cellphone, no PC in front of you alone because those things still connects you to people. You need time to listen to yourself. One hour a week can do wonders for your mind and body. if you have money, indulge/ pamper yourself. If not, just go to your room, lie down and give your mind the leeway to think and feel everything (there's a theme to my post, ne?).

If you've just been dumped or rejected, let yourself feel the sadness and anger AND be totally honest. don't try to intellectualize your experience and start arguing with yourself. Just let your mind and heart do the wandering until they get tired and move to another topic. It is true that familiarity erodes even the most awful of memories. So instead of forcing yourself to not think about it, let it all out. you're alone anyway. This also applies to work related and family problems too.

Now, if you're contented and happy, this one hour is intended for making yourself feel good and patting yourself on the back. Congratulate yourself for a week well lived and give thanks. Because you know, dealing with people is tiring even if you're perfectly fine so make time for yourself to unwind and recharge for the week ahead.

There! i'm already tired of writing. Ubos na english ko... no matter how confusing, I still hope this helps!

something i did.

i, by no means, am able to explain the endless train of incomprehensible thoughts in my head into something sensible.

i feel and feeling alone makes me vulnerable.
i feel and feeling this is wrong, in more ways than i can possibly imagine.
i feel and i know that it's going to be the same as before. that endless cycle of ups and downs, of smiles and frowns.
i feel and tries to cease that which grows each day, each moment, each breath....

i feel... then nothing.

i embrace this nothing which consumes my being.
this nothing which is more refreshing, more welcomed.
in this nothingness, i am able to move on.
in this nothing i am void.
in this... i am free.
