SPRING WALTZ

I just finished watching this korean tsinovela and all i can say is i'm at peace. I love how the series ended and how everything fell into place. It's like i was part of their lives too. I do love the OST songs everytime i hear it. I love the characters how each one is connected to each other. How they handle every situation. Hahaha! It's kinda funny but then this is who I am. Sometimes i could be so all drama about stuffs that's happening in my life. I know, I know things has changed a lot and still there are some stuffs needs a lot of attention. Which i still intend to attend to.

Latest updates nothing much for now but when i do get to have my ultrasound you guys get to see it... I'm feeling good right now, i know there are reasons for everything. There's a time and place for every single thing that happens in our lives. For some reason life has been good to me and i feel that things will be fine.

Enjoy the week ahead you guys!

Months of Months

Wow! how time flies so fast a year ago i was still in my late twenties but in a month i would be in my early thirties naku! that would mean i wouldn't be in the calendar in a few years more. Ages!!! numbers lang naman yan eh! Di ba Mylene? hahahahaha! Anyway it just occured to me that it would be a whole month that my brother Mervin and I would be of the same age. My life has been good and wonderful. God has his plans for me and i feel that i'm in the right path. No regrets or whatsoever!

I am worried of some future ahead of me but i'll just go with the flow, make the most out of my life especially now that things are different. Got to think of the family i would be having. Life has change a lot for me since i've been here in the US of A. Ibang-iba sa lifestyle ko back home. I guess if i would have stayed home things would not be the same as right now. I'm just very happy that i have all the support and love of my family (my dad, mom and brother) and cousins who had always been there for me especially my friends... You know who you are thanks again for everything...

Hehehe! Wla lang i'm just in this mood of sharing with you guys! Eniwei i gtg enjoy the weekend! Will keep you guys updated about my pregnancy and all!

IT ONLY REMINDS ME....

When i was back home we had 3 dogs 2 German Sheperd (namely Queenie and Puppy unfortunately their both deceased) and 1 Pitbull (Sakura).

So Wednesday morning we were parking our car at Culver to pick up the passenger van we used for work. When i saw papa Renz (one of our co-worker) he was with this white dog. When we were about to ride the van, we were greeted by the dog. Who turned its attention towards us. Being a dog lover myself and so was Ian, our hearts just melted away when we found how friendly the dog was. It turns out to be a female pitbull and i'm not so sure of the age. It doesn't even have a collar which would mean that no one owns it. We even gave some food before we leave it alone thinking that someone might be looking for it and they just released it while the owner would be doing something else. So as we leave it behind the dog started to follow the van eventhough we had moved a few inches away from the gutter. We moved again and well it wouldn't leave us alone. Ian was very concerned that he might ran it over or someone else might. So he decided to take it and we'll just looked for a cop to give to. Knowing that they would find something good to do with it. After picking up our other co-worker we looked for a cop and when we found one. We explained the situation and when he take a look at it he told us "Don't you guys want to keep it?". Everyone was just smiling and politely saying we can't. But deep down both Ian and me wanted to keep it but then we don't even have a place of our own and to keep it, it's going to be a big responsibility. I don't think that we can afford of having a dog since i am 4 months pregnant and all. Then i realised how much i miss my dogs back home. Especiallly Sakura our pitbull, since she was 2 months old i have taken care of her. I'd feed her, take her for a bath and even play with her.

Just reminiscing some good memories. Enjoy the weeekend ahead.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Well today it's valentine's nothing really special for today but there's snow everywhere here in NJ. Just hate snow, at first it was cool but then after a while it's like everytime you go out you'll get wet, muddy and cold. I don't know i guess still enjoy summer time of all the season there is. So it's Valentine's day and well we had work and Ian has his part time job tonight. Mhai, Ian's sister, went to her friend's house and their dad is still at work so right now i'm all alone. Which makes everything a little peaceful. See i don't get to be alone that often, i've been used to having Ian with me and since his sister and dad came their always around but this time i'm alone. I'm okay with that actually. Still need some cooking to do in a while and well i really need to study since my exam is coming near.

To my ever LOYAL FRIENDS (Mylene, Celeste, bestfriend JAY, Karen, Lorie etc...) ayan i thank you for everything and i do hope that you guys enjoy this day.

QUOTES from MARS

"I know.. I know who you are.. I know how you cry.. I know how you smile.. even if the whole world denies you.. you still have me. In my world.. you are not sick.. you are the one who gives me strength.. the one who gives me happiness." --Qiluo

"Even if human beings get injured, their wounds will heal. Though it will never be as beautiful as it was originally, new flesh will still grow to cover the wound." --Ling

"I like him. I like him. I like Chen Ling. can't I? I like him because he's always so brave. I like him because he couldn't care less. I like him because he understands what I say."- Qiluo

"I think...I'm afraid, probably? But...I'm not really afraid of you as a person. I think the thing I'm probably afraid of is...losing something precious because of you. Right now, I have things that I want to protect, people that I don't want to lose. You could say this is weak , and that's all right, because I don't have to make people think I'm a strong person...nor do I want to be a strong person." --Ling

"If forever and forever we could always be like this.. laughing together, cying together, how wonderful it will be.. it doesn't matter if we will be boyfriend and girlfriend." --Qiluo

"No matter what you have done, no matter what happened to you, in my heart, you forever remain the same.. never change." --Ling

"This world has judged you unfairly. You also judge this world in your own way. If there's really no one believing in you, I want to tell you.. I believe in you." --Qiluo

"I will protect you.. whatever happens in the future, I will certainly be by your side and help you." --Ling

Rang wo ai ni (Let me love you) Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu

Da S:It is always impossible to wipe away the past

Zai Zai:Even stronger memories are still like a nightmare you can't wake up from

Da S:My teardrops drip past your sky

Zai Zai:The rain is incessant
My heart aches badly
The wind is a like a drawing utensil
Watching me
Your face is in front of the wind

Da S:My heart draws out a rainbow for the first time

Together:Because of you
I believe

Da S:Just let me love you
I'm not myself

Zai Zai:The broken reflection of light
Within the darkness is a profound attraction
AbsolutelyEven if there is not much life remaining

Da S:We only need to embrace the momentary privity
Just let me love you
Proving there are miracles
Within an impetuous heart
You lie in the depths of the soul
I am willing
To abandon the world and leave with a smile
Next...
(Afterwards, there is nothing left to listen to...)

UPDATES

This was the reason why i haven't updated my blog i've been busy with work and with this stuffs happening in my life right now. I'm very happy right now knowing that i would be a mom sometime in August 2007. Wow! At first i couldn't believe it myself it's like when we had our first pregnancy test i had mix emotions of what i would be feeling and how would i be feeling when i find out the truth. Then reality hits me and finally we've been sort of expecting it at the right time i guess this was the right time. O ayan may makakalaro na ang pamangkin ko si Lance... hahahaha! For those i haven't tell it too TRUE po ito WALANG BIRO! I AM VERY PREGNANT! Thank God i was able to tell to my parents and they understood wala ba hassle of questions what,where and when etc.... Come to think of it i am of age naku naman. I will be 30 y/o this coming April actuallly both us are (Ian and me)

So here's the update about my pregnancy:

January 3, 2007 We had our first pregnancy test and it was positive, pretty exciting don't you think?
January 6, 2007 2nd pregnancy test and still positive
January 8, 2007 Had my 1st appointment with my case manager OB-GYN Shirley Harris-Johnson and everything went fine.
January 13, 2007 Had my first ultrasound and saw my baby,the lady who saw me said it was 15 weeks old already, touching isn't it? I almost cried but deep down i did.
January 23, 2007 Had my first papsmear, PPD and my 2nd ultrasound since my mid-wife Marie Ditomasso wasn't sure it was 15 weeks old since when she felt me inside, it felt like the baby was too small. So as of now I finally got the right age 11 weeks and 6 days.


Hope you guys enjoiy teh rest of the week!

A walk to remember - the weakness in me

THE WEAKNESS IN ME

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

But to you I gave my affection right from the start

I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart

Yet still you get my attention

Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

Make me lie and I don't want to

And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool

You make me stay when I should not

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by

But I mean to see you

And I mean to hold you, tightly

Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep

This old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep

If I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall

And I need you, and you

Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

Make me lie and I don't want to

And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool

You make me stay when I should not

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by

But I mean to see you

And I mean to hold you, tightly

YEAR 2007

" The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again. " Ephram ( Everwood 2002 )

It was not so long ago that I was thinking of the changes that i've gone through, of how everything was before. I still can't believe that life has given me much to learn about and i still am learning more. I guess the changes i have made has made me a better person all along. I kow how it feels to undergo those adjustment periods in which you go through while being in another place and all. But then being in a new place makes you wonder of how life would have been if you were back home. I know deep down that God Has put me in the right place. There's a place and time for everything though i haven't gotten what i wished for I know that it will come to me at the right time.

I am very thankful for all the things i have right now. A loving and supportive family back home. My cousins who are always there with me in everything. Friends who has always been there and always have time for me and never forgets to just pops up when they have the time. For new friends that i had made throughout this journey i am still going through. Life has so much to give me and i have so much to give back too. Sheesh! Ang drama eh pwede na sa FAMAS o MMFF hahahaha!

May this year be full of hopes and more new learning in life. Lapit na ang weekend! Yehey! hahaha! sabay ganun eh!

CHRISTMAS 2006

Wow how time fly so fast... the next thing i knew it was already first week of December. We had our christ mas party last December 16. Had so much fun with my cousins and we even enjoyed the exchange gifts with a twist. The food was so good and so was the booze!!!

Yesterday when i woke up i had this dream of going back home and well in my dream i was welcomed by my parents and brother. In my dream we went to this mall and was going to eat at this really nice restaurant. I really felt at home but then something kept missing like my digital camera i left it here and things jsut keep popping up in my list that i wasn't able to bring home. Then there was also something missing in the picture and then when i woke up i kept thinking about my dream. Someone was definitely missing and it was Ian. For soem reason i kept thinking about it. What was this all about? Why are there things missing when i went home? Why Ian wasn't even there or at least the mention of his name?

Had to clean up the place and cook. Just the same old day today. I might be busy tomorrow since we'll be having the party at home. Nothing much has happened this past few weeks. Been finished with the shopping thing just a few more and that's it. Don't know what will happen but we'll see... We'll be picking up Ian's mom from her work at up state NY. That's it for now!
