Hey, some of you may find this article from PDI dated April 16, 2008 helpful....

Here it goes....

"Look Forward to the day when you can tell yourself, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?".

     It's okay, you can cry.  But when the tears are gone, lose the self-pity, too.  It's just too much a waste of time to dwell on the what-could-have-beens.

     Sure, you've been hurt, and it's not pretty.  But you're not the first to go through that.  Others did and they survived.

     He was not the one, obviously.  Respect the fact that people change their minds, no matter what they might have told you.  Even you will change your mind, too, after some time.

     Maybe the universe has other plans for you.  You can now concentrate on things you were supposed to do.

     Spend some time alone; you will probably get to know yourself better.  "Along time" is so underrated.  We do not always have to have someone with us all the time.

     Allow some anger, if not hatred; it is healthy at some point.  But keep your ranting short, or it will consume you and leave you bitter, and take it out on others.

     Let go.  Accepting the fact that it's over is something that would unburden you.

     Stop analyzing, and quit the idea cold turkey.  Don't replay events, don't shred it bit by bit trying to find new reasons why everything happened.

     It happened, period.  Whoever is at fault does not matter now.  What's important is that you accept it.  If you feel like you were a victim, hold it right there.  You couldn't have been a victim, unless you decided to be one.

     Look forward to the day when you laugh at all this, when you can cringe at the whole thing and tell yourself, "What was I thinking?"

YES, IT WILL COME....."

Eto na ata ang pinaka-nakakabagot na araw sa buhay ko.  It is because I did nothing.  I browsed the net, chatted with some friends and listened to my music player.  I spent my 9 hours at work doing personal matters and not the usual work related.  The company will pay me for doing nothing. Huh!!!

Thank God we will be going to Sariaya Quezon tomorrow.  We will be spending the rest of the holidays witnessing the old traditions during Holy Week.  May mahabang prusisyon ng mga santo at replika sa Biyernes.  Tatawagin na naman ni kiro na mga mu-mu ang mga makikita niyang replika.  Of course, I'll be seeing old people, old friends.

Excited na ko ulit magswimming. I-enjoy ang tubig.  Maglaro kasama ng anak ko.  Sulitin ang natitirang araw ng Holy Week.  Magpahinga dahil siguradong pag balik namin dito sa Manila, babalik na ulit ang realidad ng buhay.  Haharapin na muli ang panibagong araw sa loob ng opisina. Kailangan ko na namang ibalanse ang oras sa pamilya at sa trabaho...

Sana, magawa nating magbigay ng panahon upang mas maintindihan ang kahulugan kung bakit meron tayong Holy Week...

Ala pang 12, nalaman ko na, Pacquiao wins over Marquez @ Split Decision.... Kainis kasi di pa nga nagstart yung laban sa GMA 7.  Wala ng thrill!!!

Di ako ganung kumbinsido sa performance ni Manny.  Parang hindi siya ang andun sa ring.  Ibang-iba kasi compared to his previous competition.  Nahirapan talaga siya to beat Marquez.  Kahit di ako masyadong nakakaintindi ng boxing, feeling ko dapat si Marquez nanalo.  Dahil napabagsak ni Manny si Marquez sa 3rd round kaya naging split ang decision?  O dahil mas marketable siya ngayon kaya siya ang bagong champion? Para daw may pwedeng ihirit na rematch.....

Ganunpaman, im happy kasi si Pacquiao ang nanalo. Proud na naman ang mga pinoy.  Sulit ang ilang buwang training and sacrifices.  Not to mention the big bucks prices na nakuha ni Manny.  huh, yaman na talaga niya.  Sana lang, maging wise sila ng wife niya to spend it and save it for their future.  Para din di siya matulad sa ibang boxers...

Ok, Pacquiao... Until your next match....

It was a difficult day.... Another transport strike happened yesterday to seek approval from Philippine government to only have one-ticketing system.  But not all LGU's had approved it.  It is still on the process of negotiation and debates... I don't think it will be passed!!!

I was in Libis, Quezon City yesterday afternoon; meeting with Toys R Us.  Thank God we've brought private car with us so we do not have to wait hours for cab to take us back to Makati.

I waited for DAD @ SM Makati.  I was there few minutes after 6.  We went home together not taking chances of trying our luck to get home thru BUS going to LP.  We took the shuttle parked below Ayala-MRT.

Huh, Thank God, we were home safe and sound.....

I am free again. Alam mo ba kung bakit? At long last, nakawala na ko sa impiyernong buhay with MH (Matandang Hukluban!!!)

Bagong buhay, bagong work environment....

It's sad to leave old friends behind but i am happy moving on.  Alam ko, the friendship will remain.  Hindi naman yun matatapon ng basta-basta.  

Sana lang, marealize mo kung bakit naging ganun.  Malaman mo at matutunan mong magbago.  Nakakaawa kang pagmasdan minsan pero nakakainis yung puntong andiyan ka na naman!
