Yeng Constantino Jeepney Love Story lyrics Sumakay ako sa jeepney Ikaw ang nakatabi Di makapaniwala Parang may hiwagang nadama Nang tumama sa'yo Ang aking mga mata At nagsiksikan na Dahil tumigil ang jeepney Sa tapat ng eskuwela Biglang nagkadikit Puso ko'y biglang sumikip At natulala Sabi nila'y walang hiwaga Kung wala'y Ano itong nadarama Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na ahhh Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko Ayoko nang pumara sana di na huminto Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na Kung ikaw ang kasama (Adlib) At may biglang sumingit Natiempo pa sa'ting gitna Sumimangot tuloy Ang aking mukha Mabuti nalang nagbayad yung ale Sabi nya paabot naman Nagkadahilan ako Para ika'y tignan Nung iaabot ang bayad Kamay mo na palang nakaabang Pambihira diba swerte ko naman Sabi nila'y walang pag-ibig Kung wala'y Ba't kumakaba itong dibdib Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na ahhh Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na Kung ikaw ang kasama Manong driver Wag mo nang ibalik ang sukli ko Manong driver Di mo ba alam walang babaan to Drive lang po ng drive Wag niyong hihinto Kahit sa'n mapadpad Kahit lumipad man tayo Minsan lang madama Ang ganito Pero bigla mong Hinila ang tali Sabi mo "Manong bababa ako sandali" Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na ahhh Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na ahhh Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko nang pumara Ayoko na Kung ikaw ang kasama (Adlib)

thanks to sir eye.. i really learn a lot from him. though he might look like a hot-tempered person, but i know he loves what he is doing.. he is strong outside, and stronger inside with God's guidance.. here it goes.. use your hand as your guide. pinky finger- pray for those who have short memory span ring finger- pray for those inside the testing area who are mature and those whom you consider a younger brother/sister. middle finger- pray for those very intellectual people who will also be taking the exam pointing finger- pray for those persons who are with you in taking the exams that you consider leaders thumb- pray for YOURSELF. Remember: Know that God always comes to you, even if you are not aware of it. Do not ask God to guide your steps if you are not willing to move your feet. Complete surrender to God is the ultimate goal of fulfilling His plans for us. Amen

i dedicate this to my aunts.. Have you heard that single people are miserable and lonely and die alone in their empty apartments where they are eaten by their cats? That’s what I heard, too. So I set out to discover the truth of these matters. Guess what? It is not just the cat thing that’s a myth. All of those insulting claims about the lives of single people are wrong, wrong, wrong! Here’s a rundown of the myths I found while looking at the reality of being single today. Myth #1: Singles are less happy than married people Boo-hoo, poor you! That’s what friends and family sometimes think of people who are single. They are so wrong! First, most single people are not miserable — not even close. On the average, single people are always on the happy end of the scale; that’s true in every study I know of. Second, getting married hardly changes someone’s happiness at all. Some married people experience a tiny blip in happiness around the time of the wedding. (On an 11-point scale, they are about one-quarter of one point happier.) But that is just a honeymoon effect. They soon go back to being as happy or as unhappy as they were when they were single. Furthermore, only some married people enjoy the honeymoon effect. People who marry and later divorce actually start getting a bit less happy — not more happy — as their wedding day approaches. Myth #2: Single people favor solitude Sometimes people say that single people are “alone,” that they “don’t have anyone.” But that’s just a myth. Research shows that single people often have many people in their lives who are important to them. Often, they have a whole network of friends and relatives, and they stay connected with them for decades. After all, they have the time to forge many diverse relationships, which married sorts often don’t. Myth #3: Elderly women live in isolation Older women, in particular, are often painted as isolated spinsters, but in one study of 50 women who had always been single, 49 of them had close friends and usually they were in touch with those friends every single day. Sixteen of their friendships had lasted more than 40 years. Myth #4: Single people don’t live as long as married folks A serious, intellectual magazine recently printed a story with this headline: “Marry or die.” Seriously. Even the most prestigious publications can get their headlines all wrong when it comes to stories about people who are single. That magazine article ignored the longest-running study of longevity on record. That study started in 1921, with more than 1,000 11-year-olds. Scientists have kept track of these people for as long as they lived. The people who lived the longest were those who stayed single and those who married and stayed married. People who divorced, or who divorced and remarried, had shorter lives. It was consistency, not marriage, that mattered, and the results were the same for men and women. Myth #5: Single people are self-centered Married people are supposedly the ones who reach out to other people and keep families and neighborhoods connected. That’s the story we hear, but it is not what’s really true. National surveys show that single people are more likely to visit, support, contact, and advise their siblings and parents than married or even previously married people. Singles are also more likely to encourage, help, and socialize with their neighbors and friends. Myth #6: The children of single parents are destined to live haplessly These days, forecasts of doom and gloom are often aimed at children who are raised by single parents. To hear the commentators talk about it, you would think that only children raised by married biological parents have a decent shot at a good, healthy, successful life. In my research, though, I was struck by just how overstated those claims actually are. One example comes from the results of a National Drug Abuse Survey, a study of substance abuse among 12- to 17-year-olds. The children of single mothers had low rates of abuse — under 6 percent. And those rates were just 1.2 percent higher than the rates of the children living with married biological parents. Furthermore, two-parent married households did not always have kids with the lowest rates of substance abuse. Teens living with a father and stepmother, for example, had higher rates of substance abuse than teens raised by single mothers. Myth #7: Single people are not as healthy as people who get married Think singletons live an unhealthy life of vice, partying up a storm and eating junk food rather than healthy home-cooked meals? That’s not what the research says. Typically, people who have always been single are very similar in their health to people who are currently married. There is, though, one exception where single people are actually healthier than attached types: married people are more overweight! As for divorce, some research actually shows that people become healthier after they divorce than they were when they were married. Myth #8: Single people waste money on frivolous things for themselves So you think that singletons splurge and marrieds conserve? If so, then I have just one question for you: Do you know how much weddings cost? Even after the big splash, maybe you thought married folks save up, spend conservatively, and are occasionally called upon to support the more spendthrift single drifters in their clan who racked up credit card debt on fancy shopping sprees and vacations...not so. Coupled-up sorts are no more generous than single people when it comes to giving financial help to family members. As for friends, it is the single people who are there for them. In fact, one study showed that men were much more financially generous to their friends when they were single than they were after they married. When married men divorced, they reverted to their more giving selves. If they remarried, then they went back to being less generous to their friends.

I have said it once more! not just to claudine, to tipay, to intern, to chank... but also to gretchen! waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.. kabaw na jud siya na i like ehem. hahaha.. (di na bastos) .. sige nlang, ingon man siya na dili niya i-saba sa uban.. especially to the PERSON. bahala na ma-unrequited "love" ni, basta kay mao ni akong ganahang buhaton for now. ambot lang, sure ko magmahay na sad ko balik ani BUT what's the use of having the PERSON away at all times diba? besides, akong NEW FRIEND kay naa man pod always these days.. i feel secured and special. hehe. i feel happy na pod sa mga nangyayari sa akong life karon. I know God has plans.. and i certainly agree na his plans are not yet clear to me. hehe.. haaaaaaayyyy.. i don't know why am doing this. is it because of peer pressure o nakiuso ra ko or am i getting mature and is open for stuffs like this? hehe. i hope for the better option.. :D

dating does not mean seeing someone you like, it is also a form of meeting new friends. :) it is not because you are just playing around but it is because you just want to have a company. But in the end, you just know.. that even if you have him or her.. you are just sure enough that he/ she is still not the one.. God has his own plans.. if it is not today, it might be in a better day. :) SERIOUS??? hahaha..

Simple. Just confess your sins to him. Ask forgiveness and never do it again. But personally, I believe that you could become more worthy of God's forgiveness if you change first before going to confession. For example, if you are planning to confess for being a liar, I suggest that you try to be honest 5 days prior to your confession so that after your confession, you will not be shocked of the new life you have chosed. :D Then you will not be tempted to lie again after your confession because you are already used to being truthful.

According to a priest from Basilica del Sto. Nino in Cebu City, you only have to remember the four C's. First, we must have COMMITMENT to God. This is not just a promise or a contract but a form of presenting yourself to Him until the life after your death. Second, we must have CONVICTION. This means that we must be very courageous to stand for God anywhere and anytime not because of lame reasons but because we love him. Next, we must have COMPETENCY. We must study not just our lessons in school but also what we need to learn in our religion. We must learn what we can learn to become a good preacher of God's good news. Lastly and most importantly, we must have a good CHARACTER because without this the first 3 C's are useless. Character is innate and contagious. We cannot change what is within us but we can always choose to become better. With this, we can be able to teach others the way God wants us to be. So help me God!

I am not feeling well. I am not sick. But definitely, I am not in the mood. So sick of all problems. Ngano dili man jud mahurot? hehe. Sure jud ako ni sila tanang problema? Nganong mas bug-at man ni? Nganong mas daghan man ni? akong questions unta para ni God pero I know I do not need to question him because for a fact, I know he knows better than I am. Actually, I went to school this morning really depressed. I didn't know the real reason but claudine suspects that perhaps these are those repressed and suppressed emotions and thoughts i have inside. I can agree to that but if asked again, I would still answer that i didn't know what i was crying for. I just couldn't help my eyes ganina, it seems like my lacrimal glands were overproducing tears. I could hear sir echevarria say about "bone marrow transplantation, blood stem cell transplantation etcetera" (words that could not be cried about because we are just having discussions about it and obviously, i don't know anyone i love who will undergo these procedures) but nevertheless, i cried. i just didn't know the reason but i am sure enough i was sad deep deep inside. I was wiping my tears while taking down notes. Again, I was really sad. I went out of the room with claudine very early and ate our lunch hoping that a good meal could ease what i was feeling. when the two of us were together, everything went really fine even when we went to his father's office but when we got to our first class in the afternoon, the feeling took over me again. I had answered the long mathematical quiz of that subject fine but after it, when i saw aia and alma i got irritated. it is because i thought they could be good business partners but you know what they are so lazy and maarte. dili kuno sila magdala og plastic karon kay so on and so forth. HELLO? magdala man ka or dili og plastic, mao ra man gihapon imong nawng! sorry to say.. honestly, i bring some of our stuffs at home and back to school using plastic bags but i don't feel ashamed. i am confident enough of myself that i could look okay with the plastic bag. Makwarta bitaw ko, so what? kung dili ko magdala, okay let's just say manindot imong poise pero igo ra man pod ka tan awon sa mga taw, dili man ka nila tagaan og money para sa imong nice stance. hahay.. whatever mga climbers! just sooo hate it! just soo hate them! soooooooo much today.. ingon si chank, give them a chance.. i said i will but not now because galagot pa jud ko kaayo. siguro next week. i will give them a not-plastic chance nalang. Hoping na magbag o jud sila. wow! so long reklamo i have. anyways, i said i had humps of problems. iapil na ang akong paranoia. ambot ngano ni, na sige ko kahadlok about death. of course mahadlok ko na naay mawala sa akong mahal sa buhay man gud kaayo. Ako lang jud sige gi-pray na sana Lord, ayaw sa intawn kuhaa silang mama, silang papa, si Binang og si Yobel Lord God og si nanay telay og si Anty Ga Lord God. AKo nalang sana Lord God kung nagkinahanglan kag rapresentative gikan sa among family. :) Pero ako pod na ipray Lord God na sana i-increase nimo akong faith nimo para mosalig ko pag-ayo sa imong guidance og love para sa akong family. I don't like the feeling of always anxious of what is not to happen pa jud. I know death will come but i pray na sana dili lang sa karon. tagai sa unta mi og longer longer years Lord God. Moreover, another major major problem(lemme borrow sa Venus Raj ha?) karon kay we need to find a house here in Cebu immediately before pahawaon na mi by the end of October dinhi sa Guadalupe. The owner said ila daw i-renovate ang place so dapat kaming tanan nga naa ani na line of houses kay pahawaon. ana jud na, since dili man jud amo bisan sakit og lisod, mapugos na mohawa. hahay. Anyway mangita man daw mi og better na mapuy-an, kanang kung pwede rent to own house basis. Well, sana makakita na jud tawn mi. we only have about less than two months. soo sad but kakayanin. And another secret, my father is not very well anymore. i know he is sick. I pray Lord for your miracle na sana imo siyang i-heal Lord God. Ayaw sa lang unta siya og kuhaa Lord. Ako nalang Lord. Ganahan pa ko moshare niya sa akong mga big events in the future. Ganahan ko na siya ang mohatod nako sa altar kung ipakasal ko. Ganahan ko makakita ko niya na malipayon sa akong graduation, sa akong job as a nurse og sa akong mga ipanghatag niya in the future with your grace. O Lord, please I beg you. Diri nalang usa.. Nagbrown out man. hehe.. super taas man gud ni akong hinanakit pero in fairness, naay juy naunload na baggage sa akong heart at the end of this writing. Thank you soooo much my blog! PS: i have a new friend.. his name is partner. :)

i never thought my father's family could care and show us love. i never knew that i could enjoy at their house because as far as my brain could scan my memories, i thought i was different. but now, i know i am a part of them. i am sure enough that mu cousins, my aunties and uncles out there loves me(and my brothers) and will miss us every time we leave. well, i admit, i miss them too. Honestly, i didn't want to go back to cebu yet. i even wanted to get absent again just to be with their beach outing tomorrow but i just chosed not to. After all, i am already thankful that they have accepted us, especially me. because all my childhood, i have been rejected, isolated and ignored. isn't it so blissful to hear them call my name and give me a sweet smile. i don't care what made them do it, all i know is that i know i am part of their lives. and i really really know and want to shout to the world that THEY LOVE ME!!! awww.. i feel so good to be loved.. thank you Lord for being so good.
