I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
Im telling you that

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh....

Quarter-Life Crisis

I don't feel like Im living my life. I feel like Im living a distraction. Spending my time and energy on earth, time which I believe is my only time, failing to recognize or possibly even avoiding my purpose, masking my emotions and denying my self. Im not certain that I even have a -purpose-, or eliminating the possibility that such a purpose would be an individualistic rather than universal thing. Nor do I feel that I am consistently able to identify what my true emotions and motivations are. I don't know about you, but the notion that I am unable to define who or why I am scares the shit out of me.
I am constantly nagged at by this feeling of waste. I feel there's a sense of urgency to my youth, to my whole life. I try to immerse myself in as many things as possible. I go out all the time, talk to everyone about everything (I talk all goddamn day), read and watch everything I can, I try to be like this, because Im terrified of missing out. Missing it. Often, I am left with a lot of experience and very little understanding of what it means. Maybe I need more time for reflection, but Im not very good at sitting still.

I dont understand people. I cant understand them. It seems to me that most everyone with any self-awareness at all should be doggedly concerned with the meaning of their life, and collectively, that of life in general. How can one not be? (Although from the blank looks on the faces I see on the street around here, it still doesn't surprise me.) Of course, not everyone has the luxury to sit around and philosophize. I sure don't. I don't mean to suggest that we should withdraw and everyone should sit around eating rice in orange robes until each and every person reaches enlightenment, but not to consider it at all ? Ignore the question ? Deny it's importance ? Write it off to philosophy ? Just for dreamers ? I just try to somehow incorporate these questions into my life, whatever my schedule may be.

Young people, at least a lot of the ones I know, are becoming their jobs. Being defined by their job titles. We are raised to do just that, it seems. Go to school, get a good job, have a family, retire and die.
And Im not saying that sounds so bad to me. Along the way, we become distracted with mortgages, car payments and bills. We try to lose ourselves in drugs and alcohol, searching for a respite, but from what ?
We try to build self-esteem and release aggression in physical activities. And it seems that people are content. -I dont know the meaning of my life. I have no idea why I am alive, but I have a great job. I make a lot of money. I make a comfortable living.- Or -I love my family.- Or -I have a un-hittable fastball.- So what. Isn't there more out there ?

Religion? Whew. Tough stuff. It seems there are so many different ideas out there about creation and the meaning of life. I was born a Catholic, went to religious schooling, made my Penance, was an altar boy and was Confirmed. I went on church every Sunday until I was about 14 or 15. Now, I hardly go, even on the holidays. It occurs to me more and more that I was a Catholic simply and only because I was born into it. It was indoctrinated in me since I was a child. If I was born into another family, in another part of the world Id most likely be of another faith. So, is religious belief luck-of-the-sperm ? Fate ? Religion does a lot of good in the world, I know. It provides a moral guideline for living. Charity and mercy and love. Fantastic stuff. But what is the end result, qualifying for Heaven, an eternal life of happiness. -I know the rules and I try real hard not to break them. This way I can die, and then Ill be happy.- Your whole life is a qualifying heat ?

Government ? -These are the laws you must obey and this is how we are going to arrange things, these are the services we will provide you with, these are your rights and this is what you owe us for this.- Well, Mr. President, I+m very excited about your position on the environment, but could you please tell me why the fuck I am alive ? Do you have a position on that? Are you a philosopher-king? You govern, you try to keep things going and keep people from killing each other and from starving, you perpetuate this forum within which I live, but to what end? And growing up in this world, this country anyway, it gets really hard to look beyond those parameters. We grow up trying to fit in and be comfortable.

The physical necessities are food, clothing and shelter (and sex). A roof over your head and a chicken in every pot. Then there are the emotional necessities. Being in love. Family. Friends. Feeling cared for and caring for someone. Being moral and compassionate (and sex). These things are all wonderful, but what about knowing why you are alive in the first place ? Do people really believe a fat paycheck is the answer ? Or that helping others, a life of charity, is the meaning of their life? Then what is the purpose of the person who provides you with a paycheck, the meaning of the lives of those you help, or the value of a system that puts people in the position of needing a paycheck or requiring help ?

Family provides meaning. Paycheck provides meaning (very little meaning, in my case). Charity provides meaning. But I can't help thinking that the true meaning of life surpasses these things. I realize it sounds a bit ridiculous that I am sitting around writing about a question I obviously can't answer, but it bugs me. There must be more to life than this. And there are so many distractions. Bars and cars and movies and guns and trips and sports (and sex).

The meaning of existence, as it seems to me, gets distorted from whatever it may be and evolves into a struggle for survival, and beyond that comfort. Fuck comfort. How can you find any peace of mind without meaning? (This would be a good time to tell me, if you know.)

Well, is that what we are here for, to get through it, comfortably if possible ? To adjust ourselves, our words, our thoughts, ideas, actions and ultimately our souls into something that fits. Do we simply learn to manipulate this way of being, of interacting and socializing in such a way as to put us up the ladder as high as possible, some being better at it than others?

What if it's all wrong and we are really blowing it?

Sweet talker

It's an amazing feeling to meet a person who shares the same interest that you have.... I felt this connection that I only feel with rare people hehe....

Son of a Beach

It's the first ever team building of my team ("Monster Madness" that is) at Crystal Beach Resort San Narciso, Zambales.

I feel like I was harassed by the waves of the south china sea....this beach is not recommended for dog swimmers like me.... I call the resort "The Son of a Beach Resort" after getting a tremendous body pain and several scrapes on my legs trust me you don't wanna go back there!...hehe.

The only thing that made the trip unforgettable was the moment that i was able to share with my whole team....this is a one time experience coz we never know when can this happen again.... We became attached with each other more.

Special mention to: Caren, Godfrey, Nikko and Muriel.... I had a great time hangin out with you guys!.....

Filipino Americans demand for apology from ABC and Desperate Housewives Petition

In a scene in which Susan was told by her gynecologist that she might be hitting menopause, she replied, "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines."

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.

Reflections

I created two new poems, here's an addition to my murky poetry:


Scarred

I'm broken, cut, and bleeding,
On the inside of my heart.
All because of what you done
It really tore me apart.

I try to move on ,
I try to get on with my life,
But it seems no matter what I do, I think of you,
And it makes me want to cry.

What you did was very wrong,
It shocked me in the worst possible way.
You being the person you were never would have done the things you did,
Or would have said the things you did say.

It seems so unbelievable,
That you could betray me like this.
I trusted you so much,
You gave me so much happiness and bliss.

My cuts will heal eventually,
They will turn into ugly scars.
All except a few that were left by you,
And they will stay forever on my heart.


Depression

She goes about her day to day and does her duties to perfection,
She cries alone and works her way through fears and self rejection.
No one knows this angel is carrying around such grief,
If they only saw a glimpse of things they'd sigh in disbelief.
She seems to be so perfect not one single flaw,
Everyone looks at her with envy If they only knew it all.
Her heart aches with loneliness and her tears disguised with pride,
Why does she care what they think its becoming too much for her to hide.
She sits at home and pours her heart out to a man that doesn't really care,
He never hears a word she says he looks right through her as if she’s not really there.
She is running out of friends to confide in and family's gone astray,
Alone and broken hearted, she slits her wrists and slowly fades away.

Become an Effective Manager

I recently completed a seminar "Foundation Training for Managers" we tackled ideas on how to become an effective manager or a leader......I can't help but take down some nifty notes that might be helpful with some of you guys! you can actually use this not only in running a team or business but also in your decisions in everyday lives.....

1. Title and Authority can be given but the willingness of others to follow must be earned.

2. Authoritarian management no longer works because people are too well informed and have many other choices. Under authoritarian management the best people will leave, poor performers will sabotage and mediocre performers will stop thinking and just follow the rules even if the rules are getting poor results.

3. As a manager/leader your job is: To provide the VISION of where the organization is going and why. To GET WORK DONE THROUGH OTHERS and to REMOVE OBSTACLES so people can perform at the highest level possible.

4. 80% of all problems are system problems not people problems.

5. Give people a vision, empower them to fulfill it and with guidance they will.

6. A commitment to ongoing training for yourself and your employees is one of the most cost-effective high productivity tools at your disposal.

7. People resist what they do not help to create.

8. People are very smart. They will always figure out your agenda because your actions speak louder than your words.

9. You get more of what you put your attention on. Be careful of setting up unintended negative rewards.

10. Effective DELEGATION is a learned skill not one you were born with.

11. Excellent communication skills are vital. Listening with the intention to truly understand is one of your most powerful communication tools.

12. Give up all assumptions about what people do or do not know, will or will not do, should know or do, etc. Assumptions almost always get poor, if not disastrous, results.

Always remember! Integrity + Quality + Teamwork = SUCCESS!

I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear FUR

What do Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and J.Crew have in common?

They all refuse to use or sell fur. Many top designers and retailers have stopped using and selling fur for good as a result of constant pressure from PETA and our members.

Every day, PETA members fight hard for the animals who are maimed and killed for their fur. Together, we have made real changes in the fashion world and have spared millions of animals from torturous lives and grisly deaths. But there's so much more to do—and so many more animals need our help right now.

In the fur industry, dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits, and many other animals are commonly skinned alive, crushed to death, and painfully electrocuted.

As I'm sure you know, PETA will do anything—including take our clothes off—to get media coverage and the public's attention in an effort to stop this cruelty. For more than 25 years, celebrities, PETA members, and other concerned animal advocates have joined us in the fight against fur. Many have even shed their clothes to announce to the world that they'd rather go naked than wear fur.

Activists of all ages and stars such as animal rights superhero Pamela Anderson, as well as many other celebrities, have taken a stand for animals by posing in PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ads. Recently supermodel Janice Dickinson and 30 other models made news when they hit the streets of Hollywood stripped down to their undies and holding signs with the message that wearing fur is heartless and cruel. You can see the photos here.

PETA's groundbreaking and head-turning anti-fur ads are seen on taxi tops, buses, and billboards all around the world thanks to your support.

To see our latest celebrity anti-fur ads, click here.

We have helped millions of people realize that there is nothing fashionable about fur. And we have helped win some critical victories for animals, including the following:

• Major retailers like J.Crew, Ann Taylor, J. Jill, Forever 21, Wet Seal, and many others no longer use or sell fur.
  
• More than 10,000 compassionate people around the world have surrendered their fur coats to PETA. We use the coats as bedding for rescued animals and in library and school displays. We also donate them for use as clothing for the homeless and refugees in war-torn Afghanistan.
  
• More than 100,000 people have signed our pledge this year to go fur-free. If you haven't already signed the pledge, please do so today.

I hope that I can count on your continued support as we enter the fall and winter fashion seasons. I want every designer and retail store to know that PETA will not stop campaigning until the day that animals are no longer slaughtered in the name of fashion. Please make as generous a donation as you can today.

Britney Spears VMA 2007 Performance

It's pretty lame this performance of her comeback single "Gimme More" last 2007 MTV Video Music Awards....

Everyone made nasty comments about her live performance during the said night... I think people was just used with how Britney performs on stage (snakes, lesbian kissing and so on) before. People expected too much knowing that its gonna be a comeback performance for Britney.

Why pick on Britney? there are lots of performers out there who really sucks on stage...I'm not a fan of Britney but I think people are exaggerating things too much don't you think?

I posted the video of the performance.....you decide.

Family Day

I made a family visit yesterday, it was my cousin's B-day (Gabby) as usual I'm the cake sponsor....again....The "Magic sing" never fails to heat up the fun as my tita belts out her signature Carpenter songs....We discussed a lot of things as well....My lola sat down to talk about my plans in going back to Australia and of course with her signature payo...."anak finish your studies! dahil wala kang mararating kung hindi ka makakapagtapos...." I told her my plans and she completely agreed, we all know that it's gonna be hard for me to go back in Australia alone but they believe na kaya ko naman makapagsurvive daw....I miss my family so much.... I miss playing around with my cousins. I miss mocking my tito and tita's haaaaaayyyyy I miss my old life......They visited my place and good thing walang pang ookray na naganap! hehe....Bad thing is hindi ako nag appear sa badminton game namin ni Eric....I was hostaged by tita so most probably the ending is a token of irritation from Eric...hehehe...Peace!
Im having a new buddy! Im so excited! A Dachshund puppy...Dachshund puppies are really smart daw....hmmm I wonder what Im gonna call him?.....I'm thinking "Edison" or something very human para buddy ang dating talaga... Ill be posting the pictures as soon as I have him....yey! yey!

Bambi Butchers

While the horrifying abuse of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses is one of the most atrocious displays of cruelty these days, I just about lost it when I saw a new video that some PETA investigators passed along. You can actually see deer being pulled around by the ears, suffering as the door is slammed on their head, and slowly bleeding to death. Honestly, it's sickening.

Venison (a.k.a. deer flesh) that is served up in fancy restaurants often comes from deer "farms" where animals are raised and later slaughtered in a pretty ugly process! It sort of makes me glad that I don't eat any animals' flesh.

The message is pretty simple. If you buy venison, you are supporting cruelty to animals. It's really that simple. Put any label (kosher, free range, organic, etc) you want on it, but at the end of the day, how could any compassionate person eat the body of a tortured animal for no good reason?

Act now by sending a letter to the owner of Musicon Farm, where this video was taken, and demand that he immediately enact welfare changes! Better yet, tell him to shut down this operation all together!
