tidbits of wisdom

We have no reason to harbor any mistrust against our world, for it is not against us. If it has terrors, they are our terrors; if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us; if there are dangers, we must try to love them. And only if we arrange our lives in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience. How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.

long weekend, etc.

thank God! i finally have time to organize my files, my bed, my bag, basically my whole life.

at the moment, one of the things i dislike about working is that it takes up so much time, to the point that you barely have time to chill and just "be". i haven't actually written anything worthwhile in a long time. i haven't watched a movie recently, nor have i read a good book until friday (og mandino's "the spellbinder's gift").

on the upside, i'm learning a lot of things, and i feel that even in little ways, i was able to help out in the departments that i've been to. more importantly, i love my co-trainees. most of the time, we all seem to be on the same wavelength. we get along well, and we have fun together. we are able to talk about our concerns, and help each other out.

we are almost 5 months into our training. we've spent 4 weeks at the branches, and one week each at the different account origination units. currently, we are having our OJT at the different credit and credit administration units. at this point, i feel that i would eventually want to be assigned to HR, corporate affairs, or project management. we have yet to be rotated to the support groups though, so these preferences are still open to change. i only hope that come february, there will be vacancies in the departments that i'm interested in.

tsk, tsk. a day has passed. 1 vacation day less. i haven't accomplished anything (didn't really intend to, after all). i sure hope this lazy streak doesn't extend to the next four days...

You Are A Realistic Romantic

It's easy for you to get swept away by romance...
But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective.
You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets
You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You tend to give more than take in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

How Are You In Love?

disclaimer! i am NOT attracted to those with split personalities. i am NOT afraid of marriage (my ideal age for marriage is 28, & i want two kids). & i am NOT secretly hoping that my partner will change for me. or maybe i am, but it's my secret so i won't tell. :)

wala akong magawa. hehe!

i was just helping deirdre out with her resume. i find it fun because i've been there, and i don't feel any pressure in that department anymore. moreover, i feel that i have gradually been settling in at work, despite the fact that we are being rotated from one department to another every week.

on a sentimental note, my dad, my brother kiko, and my sister angel were watching the dvd of my graduation. that was almost seven months ago, but i literally felt tears on my eyes when i saw my vertically-challenged self behind judith and in front of bok. memories filled my mind, and i was just so overwhelmed of everything that has happened. more so when i viewed our interactive cd a few hours later, and saw ateneo's buildings. ngayon ko lang ulit naisip na maganda pala talaga ang campus namin. =) as my mouse pointer hovered over the menu, the urge to look at our very first block pic got the better of me. click! there i was with our original block - Block C - chubby as always, but with much better hair. unfortunately, patay na ang buhok ko ngayon. *sigh*

seven months, yet the memories remain fresh. thankfully, they do. college was a roller coaster ride that found me closing my eyes and holding my breath at so many points, but it brought me to level ground tougher and braver. i know (and i pray) that the next chapters of my life will do the same, at the very least.

Me and my thesis mates Candy and Badz, in the Ateneo High grounds before the processional. Syempre, all smiles (smile na yan sa standards ni Badz) dahil tapos na ang thesis. Moreover, we managed to keep the pact we made in June, when we were still starting our thesis: to remain friends at least until April 2005. Salamat sa Diyos, at friends pa rin kaming lahat.

Prayer for Finals

I wish that I knew about this prayer when I was still a student.  It
might have helped me during my scheduled procrastination nights. =)

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

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not flunk
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades
I will not have a nervous breakdown
For thou art with me
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me
Thou givest me the answer in moments of blankness
Thou anointest my head with understanding
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.

Surely passing grades and flying colours shall follow me
All the days of my examinations
And I shall not have to dwell in this exam hall forever.
