an unexpected call

an unexpected call

hahaha! i'm so excited! this late afternoon i got a call from an unknown number.

me: hello?
her: hi, may i speak with mr. fernan bryan reyes?
me: uhmm, who's this please?
her: i'm from nestle, sir..
me: oh yes (trying to keep the excitement) this is he speaking
her: uhm, sir, we were able to go through your resume and we're interested to hire you (permanently) for your OJT.
me: oh? (playing dumb) really? (trying to sound astounded) well that's good news.

ok, that's not the whole conversation but that's what i would like to share. i'll be having my very first job interview on thursday morning! woohoo!
big deal? yeah big deal for me! shut up! hahahahahahahaha!

man, blessings this week are overwhelming!!

ciao!

mr sensitive

mr sensitive

i've asked myself a lot of times already on why am i overly-superly-uber-sensitive this week.
i don't know but the first time i sobbed again was when i watched a movie last sunday. and then i watched this show on tv and again, i sobbed. then i was just imagining something last night and boom, i sobbed again. damn.
and i get so sensitive on trivial topics and i keep them all again inside. darn.
owell. maybe it's the stars. maybe the moon is just too near again and as a scorpio i'm way too affected. whatever.

ciao!

grown up crisis

grown up crisis

this week has been all about passing resumes and scouting for companies that might hire me for my OJT and maybe for an internship. it made me think hard. what did i want to be in the future. two months from now? after graduation? after five years? where would i be? where would i go? will i have a job by then? a millionaire? studying again maybe? i have no idea.
my mother was telling me before, plan out your life. you cannot just take it as it is. well mother dear, i think everyone goes through this phase, when all of a sudden, everything's a blur. everything is just going too fast. and the insecurities are haunting me, telling me that maybe i'm on the wrong bus and the bus i'm supposed to take has already left. what if i stay here in this place for the rest of my life?!
damn. maybe this is what you call an almost quarter life crisis.
actually i have plans. but i'm not so sure. it's just that - plans. drawings. nothing real.
i just hope that make that plan real and executory by january next year.

january05 - graduate
(possibility #1)
february - go to the US if visa is approved and stay there for atleast 6 months to a year. try out what america has to offer me. if nothing happens, i'll go back here. if something promising happens, then we'll see
(possibility #2)
february - rest and look for a job
april - start working my ass of to become a millionaire by 30

my my my. there is really nothing lofty there. just a fresh college graduate's dream.
owell, don't worry friends, by then this blogspot will still be running.

ciao!

weird

feels weird

i don't know but it feels weird this week. it's so perfect - no fighting, no hard quizzes, no nothing. i could say boring but i'm afraid the man above would listen and give me something else. right now i'm happy. but i'm kinda weirding out already. i'm thinking that this is just the calm before the storm. i don't know. but as of now, i'm enjoying every minute of it.
or i just don't see the logic of it. i was almost on my knees the other week because like i said, i'm having personal and family problems. and i prayed hard for it to be over soon. maybe now's the time.
wow.
and finally, before i end this semi-nonsense post, i want to share to you what has been keeping me busy all night last night up to this moment!






so here are the two bottles.
nothing really special.
except that i made it in photoshop and i'm so damn proud of myself for this! hahaha!
i especially like the way i did the back label. nice!






anyway, since there are two bottles here, why don't we drink to the way my life's been going now... CHEERS!

ciao!

its raining

it's raining

wow. finally. it rained. i have been praying to dear lord for rains the past weeks. i don't know why i like the rain. maybe it's the smell of it. maybe it's the gentle shush of raindrops on the streets. maybe it's the way i run for shelter when rain pours. whatever the reason, i like the rain. the rain is calming and relaxing. putting everyone else on a halt from their routines and forced to look at each drop of water from the thin roof.

tonight it's just rain. a hot cup of coffee in the middle of the morning. a hot cocoa. haaayyy...

i hope it rains tomorrow.

ciao!

im too lazy to put more pics. anyway that's about it, kami kami rin naman eh.. hehe..

==============

i'm surprised that nothing dramatic happenned to me this week. considering the fact that most of my days last week are indeed too stressful for me to concentrate on one thing. that explains the last posts. anyway, i'm back to my usual happy self. and i've learned to accept the facts as they are with no sugar coating. another weekend, another life, another story, another post.

till the next ish!

ciao!

dance with my father again

dance with my father again

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end

How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream


i just heard this play on the tv the other night. i thought the lyrics was ________.
enjoy.

pres: haha, hmm looks like i know who youre referring to on your blog.. love you miss you mwah mwah!

yun lang..

this pic is funny. guess what's wrong with it.
special mention to my bro daryll who made it.
sorry kathy!

we just watched FANTASTIC FOUR a while ago. it was fun. especially when i get to see rr again after being lost in work for a couple of months now. and macky, too, after he made sumbat his paper i have to make him a collage that usually earns me Php1000 - kidding... i wish.

maybe im feeling bad because i, again, pigged out in the movie house. 2 burgers, a biggie fries and a large iced tea. my stomach is on the works right now and is about to move in about 10 minutes.. how do i know? i really dont.

what a great week, looking forward to the next week. i have to study for my international marketing and philippine history though. midterms on monday.

inxs: i made that thing for my sister. something to do with her kalandian poses.

ciao!

angels

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
’cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call
she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call
she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

i want this angel NOW!

retreat

katagaytayan

i was not all about the retreat the other day. i take it back.
it wasn't all that fun really. for me it was really a retreat. a retreat from my problems here in the city, in this house. a retreat from my daily routines. a retreat from school work. a retreat from reality.
and no, this is not a "reflection" post. so you can continue reading.
it's fun being there because the place is really nice and it's in tagaytay. though it's not as cold as you might think. it's still as if we are in manila, only a few degrees lower. and what made the retreat extra special is that every after session we have, we eat. haha.
one friend even commented: " pare di ka tatanda dito! pucha tignan mo naman, ano naman gagawin mo dito kundi magdasal at kumain?"
i replied: " o sige one week ka dito payag ka? kain dasal lang?"
he replied back: "... ayoko na pala, wala na rin kayo nun eh! hahahaha!"
me: "eh... marami namang madre dyan eh.. diba gusto mo babae?"

we laughed. i know the reply i made was a little tacky. but we were just having fun!

then i went back home again today. back to reality. back to the mess i just made right before i left. back to my school work. back to my daily routines.
this time, i gotta pick up the pieces. no one really told me that everything will be alright after the retreat.
i guess i have to do the picking up by myself.

ciao!

silver lining

silver lining

what a way to end this very stressful week. tomorrow's my retreat.
i'm just annoyed by the fact that i don't have my weekend this week and that i have to wake up early tomorrow and the next day for the sessions. and i'll miss my pc by then.. hehe..
anyway hope those sessions work on me.
wish me luck
