Been Out....

This is really weird. I have not spent a single time since I last posted here in my blog. Then out of the blue, revisited and wallah: I am writing again. I even forgot how to follow the pattern I made in order to make this "to be continued" style. Anyway, I really had lost interest writing here, but for a moment I thought of dropping by and just write anything. I don't know if anyone would even bother clicking their way to my blog (as if there was really a way that my blogsite will be linked in the internet).

What I really wanted to do is to make a new blog, telling what happened to me and revealing my real identity.

Well, I am still planning. I really missed this blog. I just hope everything will come out okay. And I hope I can someday tell the blogsphere what happened to me.

A Woman's Courage

photo from www.bigfoto.com (free photos)

We haven't talked on the phone that long for quite a while. If I could remember, it was last year when we had that kind of long talk. The last I saw of her was early this year when I talked about my problem and I needed a friend.

This time it was her chance to tell her story. I am not here to gossip what happened to her but I believe if someone could read this with the same case would have second chance to think of herself and her situation. I am not despising women in her situation, I am here to share a piece of her courageous story.

I believe it was 2-3 years ago when she had talked about her lovelife. He was a soldier, they were both in love... deeply. But.... the man had 2 kids and of course, a legal wife.

Fast forwarding: she told me on the phone just last week how she triumphantly endured the pains of letting go. Of thinking of the most devastating things she can do if she broke a family.

According to my friend, she was the one who wanted to end the relationship although the guy had planned of leaving his family already just for her. It just because she knew it was not right. Drastic it may seemed but it was her decision. The guy stalked her almost when she said she wanted to end it. So to stop the agony, she talked directly with the wife of the man. They planned a "trap" for him, invited him for a coffee and BAM! There were the two women of that man's life!

When the confrontation began, the man denied having relationship with her, even to the point that he accused my friend of telling lies and wishing of the said relationship. It was too painful, because the wife even despised her!

Fast forwarding: All of the pains and sufferings she managed to face. All of the bitter accusations and threats she endured. Now, they were all just stories to be told.

She knew that from the start. But our hearts are human.... and I understand her very much.

She is my friend. A single mom who was once caught in an emotional conundrum, but managed to find her way out of it.

I salute her for her courage, her strength, and her being a woman.

I Am Back With An Award

I got that from my friend Tina
who always drop by my blog eventhough I am away for a while. Now I am back! I would like to thank those people who visited my blog when I was away.

I also would like to thank my friend Tina for the award. I am still looking for other bloggers to pass it on to. But for the meantime, lemme just say you check back here for more diary story-telling. Yes, I will tell a story next time about another friend who I think did a heroic deed not only for herself but for the "stability" and "order" of things. :-)

Monster In My Laundry

Once in a while, I really fell lazy. Too lazy that I don't even bother checking what's lurking inside my 2-week old laundry!

Yes, I sometimes intentionally forget that I need to do my laundry it stacked up like it will have a life on its own! I see it as a monster or maybe there is really a monster hidden inside it. LOL.

It has been 2 weeks and I don't want to start washing them. I don't know why. I really feel sluggish these days. This morning I should start it.... or probably tonight. Argh! Procrastination.

I hope I won't wait until the monster inside my laundry poke and tell me, "Hey, wash your laundy already or I'll eat you up alive!" LOL!

Rain, Rain Stay With Me!

I have the reason again to spend the whole day at home! LOL. I absent myself from work today because of the rain. I send an SMS message to my co-worker telling her that I can't make it today in the office because of the weather. What's with the weather anyway? Click the Youtube clip.

Yep it was raining this morning up until now. But it was kinda weird when you have excused yourself from work yet your co-worker was still bothering you of the work pending. I hate it when someone reminds me of things I should do when I have enough reason to have a break. Yes, it was not only raining.... it was raining HEAVILY this early morning with gusty winds. A typhoon had just break in the area of responsibility and although here in the city the weather authority didn't declare a public storm signal, all classes were suspended. Floods are everywhere. And every people I know would recommend me to stay at home than to do something very trivial in the office at my own risk.

Okay, I want to rant again. This is the only way to whine. The company could have given at least a car loan for me to get to the office eventhough it is raining heavily. Yes, I don't have a car. I ride the train, the bus and other public transportations just to get to the office.

I live far away from the office, as in I need to ride 6 public utility vehicles including the train terminal to terminal to get there. So how could anyone be so inconsiderate to expect me to still be there for a very "minor" duty? I can give directions to my co-worker to do some tasks for me while I am away. It was not a life and death situation.

So, in my mind.... I summoned the goddess of rain (whoever she is) to let the rain stay with me:



"Oh goddess of the rain,
don't let me fail on this.

Help me prove that I'm right.
Help me do justice for myself.

Order your element to stay with me.

Oh, let your rain pour!

Rain, Rain stay with me!

Stop listening to kids ordering you to go away!

Little children should not play... at least just for today!"

LOL!!!! LOL!!!! LOL!!!!

Blog Action Day 2008: POVERTY

Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty from Blog Action Day on Vimeo.

Just as when I have started ranting about how hard it is living on a tight budget (see my post yesterday), a "calling" just arrived! I have been browsing the internet and pop came out this! A link to a very co-incidental post: POVERTY.

Blog Action Day 2008 will be having a worldwide sort of discussion by the use of blogs, podcasts and the like about Poverty. On October 15, there will be discussions for this topic. Insights will be greatly published through the internet for us to be more aware of what the world in poverty really means.

I am joining on this campaign.

I am one of them who experience this first hand.

Death, Death is Everywhere

Photo from http://www.bigfoto.com (free photos)

I really don't want to sound morbid in this blog, but what can I do? It happens.

Another death was confirmed to me by a former classmate, that one of our batch mates just died today due to massive bleeding during a Caesarian Section. She died in the Operating Table.

Just when I have been accepting the fact that death is really happening, another death just popped in. I know that death is happening everyhwere, but when it happens to people you know.... you sometimes don't know what to think.

The former batchmate and classmate who died was a mom of 1. I still don't have an idea whether the second baby survived. I have chatted over the internet to my two girl friends and told me how sad they were.

I remembered talking with this deceased batchmate before. We actually didn't have much time to know each other during those times. But she was okay.

May her soul rest in peace. And may her case not be another mistake.
