Two Boxes

God's BoxesI have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be!" He smiled a gentle smile and said,

"My child, they're all here with me.." I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,

Why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."

We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life.

A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.

But the treasure inside for you to see, Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me. Today I pass the friendship ball to you.

a friend

"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ...WE screwed up, but we had fun!"

Proud to be your Friend!



I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
I've learned...that money doesn't buy class.
I've learned...that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
I've learned...that the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can? I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
I've learned.
I've learned...that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.

MY KOREAN INFLUENCE

from this to...............this!

What a way to release pressure! Since i was away for a business conference i was really so drained with all the activities weve gone thru...

Good thing i am older than all of my districtmates...we talked about camera poses and look on what we ended up! Thanks to their cooperation we made this shot a good one! I thing the resident sister i am in them made them do a cute pose like this! At the midst of pressure and tension we wentr thru this day we still manage to do something that will release the stress! We are all waiting for our respective blue slips and this is how we play around!

Well that pose is what i learned in watching numerous korean series! Now this is how i influence them~what a day!

FEELING IDOL

Have anyone of you watched American Idol,Canadian Idol? How about Philippine idol?
Why all of a sudden? Well,just got off from a two day business conference! Its really tiring being in our audio-visual room for two days with extended hours of non stop updatesm on what our company has been up to. two slips a red and a blue one...how i wished i will always get the lighter colored one!

I could remember every contestant in this idol search wishing for that gold paper me? i want that blue paper! Since my line of work usually deal with a lot of presentations, this workshop on the 2nd day felt like a torture! 3 judges but you will be presenting to them one by one! If they think you passed their taste they will give you the blue one if not the red one.What will happen if you get the red one? You will again present to the judge another presentation and fall in line again to the end of the line. Good thing we have a scheduled Fellowship dinner that night! We made a 7pm reservation so we have to be at the bar restaurant on time! Lucky me! Didnt get a red slip! hehehe! Now when i first got the blue slip...Thank God! I passed the audition without singing hehehe!

Shinhwa Gives Successful Performance in Thailand 2006-08-21

The six-man group Shinhwa, currently on an Asian tour, has held a successful concert in Bangkok, Thailand, following performances in China. The group held its first Thai concert on Friday at the Impact Arena, where many world-famous artists, including Korean singer Rain, have performed.

Shinhwa began the concert with the song “Perfect Man” from its fifth album and captivated the audience throughout the two-hour concert with its outstanding dancing and singing abilities. It performed all its hit songs from its eight-year career since its debut in 1998, including “Wild Eyes,” “I Pray 4 U,” “Hey, Come On,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and “How Do I Say.”

The audience welcomed the group by holding cheering pickets written in Korean as well as English and Thai. They also brought other objects such as balloons to express their enthusiasm. During the course of the concert, Shinhwa expressed their gratitude in broken Thai, to which the audience responded with deafening cheers and applause.

Lee Min-woo and Shin Hye-sung, two members who are also successfully working as solo artists, gave solo performances as part of the concert. Lee performed his solo hit song “Bump” accompanied by dynamic dance moves, and Shin displayed his outstanding singing ability by singing “Ditto.”

After the concert, a birthday party for Jun Jin was held onstage. The other members prepared a cake for him and sang a birthday song together with the audience. At the suggestion of the other members, the audience also gave Jun a thundering cheer, shouting “Happy birthday to you.”

“Thank you very much and I love you,” Jun responded to the audience. “I am thrilled to be with the other members here on my birthday.”

The group members also tried their parts to please the audience. Jun and Andy each picked up a doll among gifts the fans had placed on the stage even before the concert had started, and faced each other while singing “You’re My Everything.” Near the end of the concert, Kim Dong-wan picked up a pair of underwear and pretended to put it on and then take it off, evoking laughter from the audience.

Eric was welcomed a little more enthusiastically than the other members because he is quite popular in Thailand due to his role in the dramas “Rookie” and “Phoenix.” Whenever Eric rapped, he evoked loud cheers from the audience.

As a special event for Thai fans, Shinhwa released a music video for “Throw My Fist,” the title song of its recently-released Japanese album.

But the poor acoustics of the facility posed a minor problem. “The acoustics were not so good, but the audience’s response was great enough to make up for that,” Lee said.

Shinhwa will wrap up its tour after concerts in Singapore on Sept. 10, Tokyo on Sept. 24 and Osaka on Sept. 26.

friends at work

Im a easy going always smiling person though you cant see my naughtiness at first glance...i guess i just decieved you!


Being in the field at work you tend to meet a lot of people...they just come and go. In my line of work not everyone you see everyday can be there always... REVAMP and TRANSFER is the favorite term in my field unless you are considered seasoned...i guess you will enjoy a lot of hops and jumps with this work.


This is my friend Emman and Anne..during monday and tuesdays if our schedule permits we usually have our late lunch together as in late (earliest at 2pm and latest at 4) Yes we live in a very erratic schedule we cannot hold much of the regular time since our schedule lies on our clients availability. Thank you for this companion i have i tend to walk around the vicinity of my area with a more positive outlook at work (its tiring sometimes you know). But enjoying every moment will give you a smile in your face. Thanks to them i get to eat lunch not alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNJIN SSHI!

It's my fault.. i didnt have the energy to get off to go to a net cafe to upload this one! For those who could read hanggeul sorry for the wrong spelling of Jun...hehehe!

Its his 26th bithday (27 Korean age) . We are happy to share a night of Korean dinner and a choco caramel cake for junjin's birthday. Its really so fullfilling spending a wonderful korea barbeque and never ending stories with friends not to mention having wonderful friends who were very much willing to celebrate this day even without the celebrator...he is busy with his commitments so he cant be with us. How i wish i was in Bangkok to celebrate it with him!

To my friends who celebrated the night with me...waiting for the clock to stike 12 to finally reach junjins day of birth..THANK YOU! You made so happy. How i wish the celebrator is also happy on his day!

The Price Of Being In The Philippines

I thought about using this title when I was getting a replacement for my long overdue expired drivers license. Yes I drived with it for quite sometime (and I mean it!). I was trying to finish my blog entry that day but because of untrustful people around I couldn't write the story using my phone cause it will be a target of snatchers and holduppers. But how come I am using the same title again?Here it goes!

It was 8:15 pm tuesday night when Lai texted me she was alone in Cubao (we were exchanging sms before that) and her dinner date cannot be with her.(an INDIAN national perhaps-joke!). She asked me where I am...being the resident "lakwatchera"(person you find in almost every place) of the group she just told me her friend can't make it and she feels alone. So since I was
on my way home (my dad would be happy to see me home before 9pm) and have no other thing to do I decided to join Lai. I tried texting Tet cause I can fetch her but it just happened that she was not answering my call. Called Flor(sorry) forgot its her day-off. After a few minutes Tet returned my call, she just reached home and is not in the mood to go out (I usually have that feeling too when I reach home I will not have the urge to go out). So I think I will be singing,dancing and doing stuffs alone in my car!

Since its a rush hour the traffic was heavy and decided to pass an alternate route. Reached the vicinity around 9, since there's some traffic rerouting I found myself back to the hi-way again! 1 go signal...I was left 3 cars away from the batch that was able to get thru. Go again aha! this is my time...suddenly the red signal was up, I was in the intersection of EDSA and AURORA as in on the middle part with the island and MRT station above it. Normally since there are traffic enforcers (yes they are swarming around that corner around 6 of them) they would signal the other side to delay their momentum for GO! I was left with no choice but to go forward...then a traffic enforcer signaled me to pull over pointing to the red traffic light. Ok ok don't know what's my violation now! He asked for my drivers license and car registration (OR AND CR), well
I'm driving a few month old car 3 months to be exact....here when you drive a good model/new car (I can't call my car a luxury one) they tend to find fault/violations for the driver,their notion?the driver is rich! Ok,eventhough I saw the one in front of me which happens to be a
PUJ (public utility jeepney) pass thru withour any violations.well I know they just want something out of me!

The traffic enforcers said I beat the red light. when I told him my side he said it is prohibited in to go forth even if I was in the middle of the island! Then he passed me to a city traffic enforcer (well in this country different rules apply in every city depending on who the mayor is) got my license ...he was trying to look for something in my drivers license case (nomally other driver's
insert money in this slots if ever they get a traffic violation it will automatically go to the apprehending officer result...no more ticket). I don't practice putting money inside it! Well normally when a MMDA traffic enforcer got you for a traffic violation the MMDA head
recommended not confiscating the driver's license and just issue a traffic violation ticket and pay the dues directly to the bank. Many were positive about this law but not the traffic enforcers....why do filipino bribe these people? It's because when they confiscate your license sometimes its a big hassle locating your license and sometimes even locating the officer. So when the no confiscating of license was approved, at least you can drive with a drivers license in your possession and a ticket at the same time. Now what happened? When I told the officer to just give me a ticket they were shocked! And told me I had a serious violation blah blah blah! Ok I know it already....then when the MMDA said I was within QUEZON CITY, their laws will apply(actually it was a hi-way violation so its suppose to be the MMDA!) so they have to confiscate my license and get it in their city hall. My my!this freaked me out! No way! That city
hall is very far and it will be hard to locate my license .(well of course I know what they want to hear!ok sir here's a small amount of blah blah blah! ok money!!). I got a 100 peso bill and secretly folded it and gave it to the city traffic officer! Both of them are asking each other if its ok (the amount!the nerve! Its like robbing people) when suddenly they realized I have a doctor on call card in my car, I don't know there was a turnaround (I know that amount was small and they will ask for more and threat me with the violation ekek)! Sudden change of attitude! They were courteous! I told them I can give them some giveaways...the traffic enforcer said oh Dra! Sorry, he even told the MMDA Dra is in a hurry! Then the enforcer asked for MOBIC(for pain/rheumatism) from me,and since they thought of me as a doctor told him to go for FLANAX!(our company's product!) Its cheaper and effective! To make it short...I got
used of dealing with this people! Unless I'm really guilty of something I'm a-ok!

This is hmmm my 5th violation in my 10 year driving experience! 1st - entering a one way street in Makati, that same day using mobile phone while driving in Makati, 3rd driving without seat belt in Batangas, 4th disregarding of traffic sign but that time there were 2 of us but the
enforcer didn't let the other "old" car to pull over. I think they just want to get something with the new car! And the 5th was last night but with all the violations...I just got 1 official traffic violation ticket! The price of being a filipino-good or bad?)

Sometimes its really unimaginable...see? I can be a good citizen but with the system we are into I tend to be a bad one! I want to be fair but how can I? They were not in the first place!

I arrived a little late with my meeting with Lai,(9:10) well I called her up when I was apprehended but really its no big deal! I enjoyed chatting with Lai after an hour and a half we decided to leave starbucks and I sent her to the bus station but know what? She stayed 10 minutes more before getting off the car!Hmmmm after doing hazzard lights in Ayala
Ave. everytime I send Flor to work, now I'm upgraded to EDSA anyway it was not the first time...we did that trying to shoot the ijuksa billboard! 10:45pm on the way home...no more crocodiles around reached home at 11:00pm!

MY SAMSOONIE PIC

Who wouldnt be thrilled out laughing with this kind of picture. Ive been samsoon as early as i saw that series. How i wish i could find the same ending from that series too!

X-Man in Batangas (Philippine Special)

Being glued on youtube for some months now everytime I have the luxury of finding myself browsing to almost every xman episode uploaded there. Yes indeed that's what you call ADDICT!

Pau and Tet has blogged about the road trip which I often call road of rain! What else can I blog about? How about blogging about my favorite outfit worn that day! My ohh so comfy jogging pants, though its a little hippy which most of the time exposes my undies but who cares!loose shirt,nice pair of rubber shoes (well I loved this
shoes!cheap, so light and comfortable!) I see my outfit as an x-man wardrobe! I
can still remember at our first stop I was doing the horsey horsye bending forward thing cause I am replicating their horse game which led to some laughter from the gang.


HEADBAND...
Explanation for the headband(which looks like a towel),actually its my band everytime I want to wash my face so my "tutchang" (baby hair)won't bother my face. I used it to protect my throat that day too...aside from acute gastritis with matching reflux,I was having a sore throat the night before the trip that I know will eventually lead to cough and colds. Since the airconditioning of the car will tend to pass my way I
need to protect my throat from the cooling system. Now inside the car its my throat protector,outside its my headband!

Going back to X-man in Batangas...I was really the xman in that trip not that I was tasked to let the team lose but I am tasked to make that trip memorable to the voltes team! I guess they did enjoy the day of fun,laughter and tears(from excessive laughter). I was their tour guide,food critic,driver,dancer,singer,and clown!

A Philippine special...15 hours of fun...I guess we can beat the Germany Special...what do you think guys?

ANYONGHASEO KSS...KANG SAM SOON IMNIDA!

I love KSS and I'm often called as Kim Sam Soon hello world... Kang
Sam Soon is here! I rather be Kang Ho Dong's sister rather than his wife
harharhar! Why? I can get to know many korean hot celebrities be it my
passion or my fantasy,dreamboy perhaps? Being the resident hyung of the
stars who wouldn't take the opportunity to meet my brother's little
brothers?

But looking back if I am indeed his long lost soulmate...well I will be
the resident noona of the stars! The setback? No one will attempt to
make me their girlfriend in respect for their Ho-Dong hyung!vwaaah then
when that happens I will be forever be singing hanyoung's noona noona
ne, noona noona noona neh! argh!

Kidding aside I think kang ho dong can line up now...before chae tae
hyun's marriage all I thought he was available I was telling myself if
ever I can't get any of my korean passion(bae yong jun, bi, kwon sang
woo, joo ji hoon, junki, shinhwa and too many to mention) I will just marry
Cha Tae Hyun too bad somebody got him already...so decided to go forward
the korean mosquito (joke from MC Yoon) Kim Jung Gook...now Kang Ho-dong
will be just behind him if I can't get him! Now who will be next in
line? Anyone as long as its not Park Myung Soo!

RAINY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!

During the road trip last weekend i was really going back to memory lane...i was so happy to see even the old billboards that says "RAINY DAY PROMO","rainy days are here again","RAINY DAY". It brings back the chills and goosebumps everytime i come to encounter these phrases
on the way to my work territory.

Riding with the Voltes gang ,yup its DC's first trip to that province since i lost TP.(there my cars name). I was remembering the days when everytime i see a "RAIN" in either billboard or papers...i am like a teenager body shivering imagining every Bi performance! Then a sudden question was asked...what do you feel when you see these phrases now? Tough question...i think I lost that shivering thing but like loving someone your love goes a level higher. I tend to respect Bi as a person and a performer. I respect his attitude and his moods. That's how I see myself now.

Now how come I'm blogging this all of a sudden? Coz while having my daily routine of checking the entertainment section of our daily paper...look at what i saw!!!The enchanted Kingdom ticket felt like a RAINY day concerty ticket! And the Nescafe article about its rainy day commercial...

wow RAIN i know i missed you too! (i think its like Rain telling me he misses me! Bear with my ilussions...its my blog anyways!)

SEEING THE SUN SEEING THE RAIN

Yes weird it may seem but i did see RAIN in a sunny day!Rain in a sunny day like this? Though i hated this kind of sunny day weather specially when im not at the beach or something. But yes i saw RAIN thanks to PEPSI and XTMTV i was able to see the missing puzzle in my life once again!

A 2nd pepsi shoot for RAIN and a new cf is something so enjoyable .Rain,you were indeed so busy with your shooting and after a long "diet" from RAIN you sure gave us something to feast on!

Your presence was felt eventhough i was in a different mode. Thanks to the RAIN that poured after 3 strong typhoons i can never forget you!

Odd it may seem...yes it literally rain and shine altogether and RAIN you gave me something to ponder on. Anyway RAIN or shine(hwa) it will still be all of us!
