Gloomy Sunday

I went to the wake of Derek's father last night with my friend Myra and Rob. Myra's working at Star Cinema while Rob's a medrep for a big pharmaceutical company. We did some catching up. It's just so sad that with our busy lives, we see each other in these types of occasion na lang. We need a reunion!

Sidenote: I don't want to be the organizer anymore. I'm tired of the job already. I was president of our class from elementary to 4th year highschool. So I guess, it was natural for them to assume that I'll take care of everything everytime there's a get-together. BUT, I'm TIRED of being the person-in-charge all the time! I wish BJ will come home soon. I always pass on to him the responsibility of taking care of these things when he's here kasi. BJ, come home na!

Anyway, I got a chika from Myra... my lover boy Piolo P.'s supposed romance with Rica P. is just a cover-up for the fact that papa Piolo is now so enamored with Sam M.! Ano ba yan?! He's muy guapito pa naman and a woman's fantasy. Hay... Some things in life are really unfathomable.

Obviously, I changed my layout. I want something loud yet soothing. I want something blue and simple. Glad I found this template!

I also took out some links that does not visit naman. I included some that I find interesting and have always been dropping by but was not asking for a link. If for some reason I took you out and wanted your link back, please leave a shout out so I can put it back.

Lapit na berdey ko! Yipee! Sana may magregalo sa akin ng Bob Ong books ;-)

A time for everything... and this weekend, relaxation!

I will be extremely busy next week doing nothing but the 2007 Budget of two of the companies I'm currently handling. Try ko mag-blogging on the side pa rin, parang coffee break, yey!

So, happy weekend, everyone! Hope all of us will have a great week ahead!

Let me end the week with something that hopefully will inspire all of us...

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

God is good all the time!

The Wind Beneath Our Wings

I've two guy bestfriends, Derek and Lem. If you've read one of my previous posts, Lem's mom died very recently of complications to diabetes. It was cardiac arrest due to multiple organ failure. This morning, I got another very sad news, this time about Derek. His father died yesterday morning at 4AM due to cardiac arrest as well. Two deaths in less than a month! Tsk. Tsk. My mom died similarly to Lem's mom but her main illness was a rare kidney disease. It was just last September 29, 2005. A big loss to me.

Losing a parent is no joke. Yes, we're already in our late 20s. But admittedly, we're very much at ease when our parents are there when we come home at night. Iba kasi iyong alam mo na may madadatnan kang naghihintay sa iyo. Iyong may matatakbuhan ka kung may problema ka. Iyong may mainit na yakap kang matatanggap kung kailangan mo. And in our case, we're very close to our parents so it was doubly hard for us when we both realized our mothers were really gone.

If you're going home to your parents house, or visiting your parents, give them a hug, a smile, a comforting word or two. It would go a long way, believe me. Try chatting with them. If you're harboring a grudge or is currently angry with them, please find it in your heart to forgive. If not, pray for a possibility of forgiving them. Life is too short. You never know when they will be gone. You just don't know. The chat that you'll forego tonight could be the last that you'll have with them. The hug or kiss that you wouldn't give them upon arriving home could be the last. You never know. We never know. So let's go acknowledge our parents' presence NOW.

Before it is all too late.

Grr!

Bad trip! Hay naku. Ewan ko ba talaga. Kainis! Isasabak ka sa isang gerang malamang sa hindi talo ka! Naiinis talaga ako! Aargh!!! Gusto kong sumigaw ngayon pero kapag ginawa ko iyon, baka pulutin ako sa mental hospital. Inis! Inis!

Aarghhhhhh!!!!!

Natural Order of Things

It's my time to shine, my time to fulfill my destiny and to become all that God intends for me to be.
- Annette Aguado

Two Choices

What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line; there isn't one! Read it anyway. My question to all of you is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fund-raising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. "I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and th! e game i s in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."

Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher..

The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!"
Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"

Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming, "Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.

Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

Mentors, in a way...

There are only two immediate superiors that I have truly appreciated in my life. bgl and ayl.

bgl taught me a big lesson in life. I am what I am now because of him. I've gone from naive and idealistic to mature and pragmatic. I became jaded and in a way, it made me a better person. Not for the good, I guess, but still this is a better version of the old me.

ayl taught me everything I know about accounting and ms excel. She taught me a lot... patience, perseverance, humility, camaraderie at work, generosity. She treated me like we're on the same level, like she's not the boss. I miss her a lot!

Wandering...

I am a frustrated writer. I have a dozen or so notebooks/pads with stories written on it. No endings. I always have these crazy plots that I bring life into but in the middle of it all, my mind goes blank. Oh well, so much for being a writer. In fairness to myself, I have several that I completed. But only I have read it.

What do I love about writing? Bringing to life characters that you only dream of. It's true that a character brought to life is somewhat a part of the one who made it. All those characters in my stories have a trait that I myself have.

If I can make myself start from scratch again and can choose everything from day 1 here on earth, what would I be? Here goes...

• Would love the name Fiona or Phoebe Dominique (why? just like the sound of it!)
• Would love to have taken up ballet dancing, swimming and piano lessons in the early years of my life (although, I did take up piano lessons when I was seven yrs old and dropped it because my lesbian teacher used a wood ruler when I made mistakes) and judo, karting and fencing in my teens
• Would love to have been more active back in highschool and not be the bully that I was (he he he)
• Would love to have been more refined than be more mannish as I am right now although I am happy that I do not have the impluse to don girly clothes and put on so much girly things
• Would love to have read the classics and the fairy tales when I was still young
• Would love to have taken care of my skin and hair more than leave it as they are (remember, I am mannish by nature)
• Would love to have been more disciplined in what I eat (course, you know why )
• Would love to have been more caring towards my friends. This is one of the many serious frustrations I have. I didn't take care of the ones that truly mattered. They know who they are. Sayang!
• Would love to have taken up journalism than accounting (although, come to think of it, if my mom had requested this in another lifetime, would have said yes to her again and again)
• My secret dream parttime job?? To become a disc jockey and write Tagalog love stories on the side (he he he, i know, i know... baduy sa iba sa akin hindi)
• Would love to have maintained an active social life and travel often
• No regrets toward my relationship with my family.

These are the things my mind conjures when it is pouring outside. Sarap mag-isip!

My Friend's Wedding!

Some pictures from Che's wedding...




Che and Macky pose outside the church






They were wed this afternoon at Our Lady of Light Parish, Cainta, Rizal. They've been together for more than ten years now! My friend was so radiant, her happiness makes her glow!





I'm really happy for them!

At the reception...






Oops... ubos na food, hehehe. Gutom na kasi kami ni Jing :p

Thank God It's Friday!

Don't lose your health getting wealthy or you'll soon lose your wealth trying to get healthy again.

TGIF!

Friday is my favorite day of the week. It signifies the end of the work week and the start of relaxation and leisure. I don't normally go out on a Friday night but if a friend asks me to, I might consider.

Things I want to do this weekend:

1. I want to watch Sukob. (Opening na ba?) Parang maganda at nakakatakot! I was able to watch Feng Shui and it was scary. Directors/producers should get unknown actors for the ghost roles. It's more effective! And I do believe that the real scary movies are those that you can imagine can happen to yourself.

Let me digress a bit... Don't you just see Maja Salvador everywhere?? I watch her every night in Sa Piling Mo. I was able to catch her MMK Tanan episode. I saw her in another ABS-CBN show. She's everywhere! Don't get me wrong, I find her really good. It's just that, she's overexposed! She's even in this movie Sukob that's why I was reminded of her.

Anyway, I'm really excited with this movie! I hope I won't be disappointed.

2. I'm attending my friend Che's wedding tomorrow. Yey! She's the second one in our barkada to get married. The rest of us are still searching for our partners/figuring if our partner is the one.

I'll digress again... I'm pro live-in. But that doesn't mean I'm anti-marriage, okay? It's just that so many couples whom I know that rushed into marriage are now regretting their actions. Let's take my two friends as example. Jing met Alvin in gradeschool. They're neighbors. They became a couple in sixth grade until college. (Imagine, how many years they became a couple before tying the knot!) They got married before a year into college. Two kids later, they separated. Why? Three years into their marriage, the guy's true colors surfaced. He was lazy and would gamble than support his family. Qualities that he kept very well from Jing when they were just sweethearts. So Jing now met someone who's very responsible and loves her despite the fact that she was someone else's before he met her. She needs to get an annulment before she can fully commit to her current guy.

Now, let's take Che's case. She lived in with Macky for a couple of years. Not because they wanted to try living as husband and wife but because they fell in love and were not in a hurry to get married. Six years later, they're now getting married. Why?? Because they now know that they are meant to stay together forever. Che knows Macky's qualities, good and bad. And vice versa. They're compatible in all aspects of a relationship.

People say that the girl is the losing party in a live-in relationship. Won't the girl lose more if she become stuck in a bad marriage? Or get separated and find a really great guy and can't marry him because she's stuck to a marriage that she can't get annulled?

But hey, there are great marriages and bad live-in set-ups as well. This is my opinion alone. You're entitled to yours.

3. Get my hair cut.

4. Watch The Lake House. And fantasize about Keannu Reeves. He he he

5. Finish reading The Alibi.

Yey! Lapit na uwian :p

Sa Aking Pag-iisa

Ewan ko ba kung bakit wala akong nararamdamang kahit na ano sa mga kasama ko rito sa opisina. Kadalasa'y may opinyon na ako agad sa mga kasama ko pero ngayon, dedma lang! Parang wala lang, in need of a job, kaya nandito ako. Masaya na akong mag-isa kumakain ng tanghalian, bumababa or nagtitimpla ng kape mag-isa... Niyayaya nga nila akong magbaon na lang para kasabay ko sila rito, pero di ko naman kaya maghanda ng pagkain sa umaga. Tama na lang iyong oras ng gising ko sa pag-aayos ko ng sarili. Niyayakag din ako ng iba rito na sumabay sa kanila kumain sa labas, ayaw ko naman. Ewan ko ba at masaya na akong mag-isa. Parang feeling ko extra effort pa na makipagkuwentuhan gayung gutom na ako. Ilang linggo na akong ganito. Parang masama na nga at nagugustuhan ko ang pag-iisa.

Marahil wala lang akong maispatan na katangi-tanging maging kaibigan dito.

May napanood akong episode ng Oprah kagabi. Ang kanilang tinatalakay ang iyong ugali ng mga lalaki. Bakit daw ang mga lalaki ay...

1. mahilig pumasok sa mga strip clubs

2. mahilig mag-golf

3. mahilig mandaya ng asawa o nobya

Ang sa akin naman, mahirap intindihin ang lalaki. Tulad na rin lang na mahirap intindihin ang mga babae para sa kanila. Ginawa tayong ganito ng Diyos para magkaiba. May nagtanong na bakit nambababae ang mga lalaki kahit na may asawa o nobya na sila? Tinatanong pa ba iyon?!? Minsan, libog ng katawan. Minsan, mas mabait at maalaga iyong isa. Minsan, trip o yabang lang. Minsan, tinamaan talaga. May mga babae rin namang nandaraya. Mas mataas nga lang siguro ang porsyento ng mga lalaking nandaraya.

Ang punto ko rito, iba't iba ang ugali ng tao, mapa-babae o lalaki man. May kanya-kanya ring dahilan kung bakit ginagawa ng isang tao ang mga bagay-bagay. Walang iisang rason. Tulad na lang ng kagustuhan kong mapag-isa.

Teka, bakit ko ba ito nasulat? Wala lang. Napaaga tapos ng tanghalian ko e ;-)

Changes in my life

As all of you know, I already have a job. Nothing spectacular, still the same boring (with a capital B) Accounting job that I used to have, but the pay's okay so have to stick to it to earn a living. Working hours is freakin' insane (well, for someone like me who's been to companies with flexible working hours)! 8AM is the clock in and I make it a point to go home at 7PM. I'm so used to waking up at 8AM before because I go to work at 10AM so imagine my effort to wake up at 5:45AM just to be at work before 8AM. Life is freakin' insane at times. And pretty vengeful!

My work entails a lot of analysis and verification. Finally, I'm a real manager now! I'm the youngest manager at 28. The other two are both in their 30s already. I report to 2 controllers. I'm handling 5 companies, all in industrial estate development. So far, everything's still smooth sailing. Real back-breaking work will begin in October which will end in mid-May next year.

I'm currently at home right now, doing office work and blogging at the same time. I'm not feeling well so I opted to stay home today.

*****

Last Friday night, I met my bestfriend on my way home. He told me a very sad news... his mom passed away 4AM of Friday. I was so shocked because he told me that his mom was just in the hospital for some check-ups. It was all so sudden for me. I even saw Tita Josie two weeks ago with Lem's cousin. They came from the church. I was not able to say hi because they were a good distance from me.

I got this message from an old highschool friend the day before tita passed away...

Do you know that there are two days in our life that we can do nothing about?
One is "yesterday" and it's gone, while the other is "tomorrow" which is uncertain and might not come at all.
We can only live in today.
Today we can love... work... play... and above all enjoy!

When you think about it, especially with everything that happened in my life, two deaths in my immediate family, that message was true. How would we know that we'd still open our eyes tomorrow when we close them tonight? We don't. Everything in our lives is uncertain.

And that's the only certainty that we know.

Mga kuru-kuro ng ating mga nakatatanda

Gandang tanghali, fellow bloggers! Para naman sumaya tayo ngayong magandang Lunes na ito, magkuru-kuro muna tayo :D

Meron bang mga naikuwento sa inyo ang inyong mga magulang o nakatatanda sa pamilya tungkol sa mga sitsit noong panahon nila? Namiss ko kasi bigla ang aking mommy kaya naisip ko iyong mga kuwento niya. Maraming intriga noong panahon nila. Ang iba'y napatunayang totoo; iyong iba nama'y haka-haka pa rin hanggang ngayon. Naniniwala ba kayong...

Si Jose Rizal daw ang tatay ni Hitler. Nakita ko rin ito sa blog ni Jhay (maya na link) at ako'y itinuro niya sa blog ni MLQ III.
Si Imee Marcos daw ay anak sa ibang lalaki ni Imelda.
Si Bongbong Marcos naman daw ay patay na talaga at ang Bongbong na kilala natin ngayon ay isang carbon copy na kamag-anak ng mga Marcos. Iyong orig na Bongbong daw kasi ay nasaksak at napatay sa ibang bansa noong siya'y nag-aral doon. (Natawa ako noong una ko itong marinig! Parang X-Files ang dating! Pero sa totoo lang, di iisang tao ang nagsabi sa akin nito.)
Si Mary Grace na anak nina Susan Roces at FPJ ay anak daw ni Rosemarie Sonora kay Pres. Marcos.
Iyong may-ari raw ng Proctor & Gamble ibinenta ang kaluluwa sa diablo kaya ito'y naging sobrang successful!
Balitang-balita raw noon na may mga nakatira talaga sa ilalim ng Ilog Pasig. Meron pa nga raw dating nahuli ang mga taong nakatira sa paligid diyan na isang napakalaking isda na hitsurang tao! Naalala ko na noong bata ako, ito ang paborito kong pinakukuwento sa lolo ko. Pero noong tinedyer na ako, iyong kapitbahay namin na tumira nang matagal na panahon sa may paligid ng Pasig ay nagkuwento ng ganito rin. At sumusumpa siyang ito'y talagang totoong nangyari!
Kuwentong Marcos ulit... May isang lugar daw dito sa Pilipinas na dinala ni Marcos sa Estados Unidos lahat ng residente doon. Bakit?? Araw-araw sa tuwing pagbukas ng pinto nang mag-asawang ito, may butas iyong hagdan nila. Gawa ang hagdan sa bato kaya nagtataka sila paanong nabubutas iyon ng daga. Nang makalipas ang ilang linggo na ganoon pa rin, binungkal ng lalaki ang hagdang bato. Hulaan ninyo kung ano'ng nakita niya? Ginto! Bare-bareta nito! At nang malaman ni Marcos, sinuhulan sila ng American citizenship kapalit ng mga bars of gold. Ito'y totoo raw nangyari dati talaga.

Meron ba kayong alam na ganitong mga sitsit? Share niyo naman! :D

Pagsubok

Minsan gusto ko na ring sumuko sa sobrang bigat ng dala ko. Alam ko naman maliit lang ang mga ito kumpara sa iba riyan pero sa tagal ko na itong dala, nabibigatan na rin ako. Dapat sana may kalyo na ako ngayon nang namanhid na sana ako, ang kaso hindi ganoon e. Imbes kinalyo, nagkasugat, dumugo, natuyo... nang makailang-ulit na. Ngunit sa tuwina'y nagkakaroon ng dahilan para magbukas uli ang pilat at iikot na naman sa ganoong proseso. Nakakasawa!

Mabait naman akong tao, may takot sa Kanya, mapagmahal na kapamilya... pero napapadalas ang mga pagsubok.

Sana konting pahinga naman po.

Reminiscing...

I posted this in my other blog months ago. I talked to one of our common friends and I realized how much I miss these two. For all the other friends that I lost, good riddance! But these two left such a big dent in my life that I can't help but miss them and wish for time to turn back so I could have done something to save our friendship. Value your friends. You never know if you have a treasure with you. Here goes my sentiments...

I had two friends, let's call them Sweet Ant and Earth. They were both very close to me. We were inseparable. One look, and we know what each other would want to say.

Movies, books, music. We adore the same stuff. We spend time talking on the phone and we see each other every weekend. We would rather go out and have fun than go out with other friends. Our families know the sound of our voices. And we know each others' home numbers except our very own. That's how tight we were.

One mistake and it cost me my blood friends.

I miss them. I haven't talked to them for years. I haven't seen them for the longest time now. I knew from common friends that both are still single but Sweet Ant's thinking of getting married soon. Earth is dating, I was told. I am still happily single and thinking of changing the course of my life soon.

Sometimes I wonder at how stupid I was I let good friends go.

I just wish I'd find friends like them. I miss the "talakan" over the phone till four in the morning; the ancient music that Sweet Ant and I listen to; the telenovelas that Earth talks about every morning; the noisy conversations that others mistook for fights; everything...

When my mom was still alive, she told me that I was wrong in losing them, especially Sweet Ant with whom she's very fond of. I know I was wrong. I didn't nourish the friendship as I should. I made a very big mistake and they never forgave me for it, especially Earth.

Just the other day, my lola asked me why she hasn't seen Sweet Ant. I told her that she's living in a far away place already.

Some friends come into our lives for a reason. They taught me humility. Sweet Ant taught me real music, movies, avaricious reading... passion in all the things I do. Earth taught me how to laugh at problems, being there for a friend, aiming high and yet within reach... simplicity in things that would make me happy.

They taught me that there's an invisible tie binding us to friends and it's very fragile.

I got a knife and nicked it. And lost them in the process...

P.S. I am blogging by email for two days now. I will bloghop and answer comments and tags and links by Friday night. Take care everyone!

My life turned upside-down

Life has been topsy-turvy for the past couple of weeks for me. I resigned and was jobless for almost a month. Got financially down (up until now actually). Finally got a job and started last June 30! Should I rejoice or what?!?

I rejoiced! I was unaware of the fact that this would cause me additional dilemma in life. I thought I just need a job and bahala na si Batman! Boy, was I wrong! My hatred for the Makati life resurfaced. I really don't want to work in Makati. Two reasons: higher transpo and meal expenses and distance from my residence. Because I live in Quezon City and I don't have a car, I either hail a taxicab or ride the MRT. It's more convenient for me to go for the taxicab but it's more expensive. MRT is just so crowded be it in the morning or in the afternoon. I know you'll think that I'm just being maarte and all (and you're entitled to your own opinion) but hey, I've been working for years and the farthest office location for me was Ortigas Center. I tried working for almost five months in Makati back in 2000 and I got neck-deep in expenses for Starbucks coffee and FX service vans. he he he Seriously, my expenses were always far greater than my income.

So now my dilemma is this... do I look for another job or just stay put with this one?

A very brief hiatus

My fellow bloggies,

I will be on leave for a week :( I will be embarking on a new job (yey!) and will most likely be busy by the next few days. I might drop by from time to time, for a few minutes or so, para naman makita kung may maka-miss kay Sasha (naks! pahaging!). He he he

Tambay lang kayo rito ha! Balik lagi at tumataba ang aking puso basta't may nagkokomento o nag-iiwan ng hi at hello sa aking tagboard. Gawing kapihan ang aking lugar, walang problema! Clean as you go dito ha :)

O siya...

Kung may mga urgent na katanungan ukol sa aking books for sale and tutor for hire, maaari ninyo akong ma-text sa 09273420098. Kung gusto niyo rin namang ako'y batiin, maaari rin naman ninyo akong itext. Iyon nga lang, baka limited ang pang-reply ni Sasha :D

Hanggang dito na lamang muna mga kabisyo!

xxxSasha000

P.S. stud-ette, hindi kasi ako expert sa html or script, i-refer kita kay ma'am tekla, nariyan ang link sa sidebar ko. pasensya na sa kaunting tulong :)
devilicious girl, excited na rin akong ma-meet ka! text-text na lang :D
sa mga madalas dumalaw tulad nina karen, janpol at taghirap - wag magsawa sa pagbalik at mami-miss ko kayo!
kay Br Vince, ang cute mo! ;-)
