these are some of the books i've read in the past 12 months or so. there are still a few more, either i just couldn't get pics (from various websites) or i can't remember these anymore. the idea to do a collage of sorts just hit me last night. the next thing i knew, i had my pc connected to the net, and i was going from one site to another, looking for pics. with the exception of the inspirational books, i seem to have read nothing of substance in the past year. quite normal actually since during college, i considered reading books out of class as a form of recreation. considering that i was already drowning in kant, ricouer, heraclitos, aristotle, and in works of other philosophers, theologians and psychologists whose names i can't even summon to mind now, could you blame me? it was just logical to limit reading for the purpose of widening my intellectual horizons within the confines of the classroom, if i was to keep my sanity.but hey, that doesn't mean that i'll forever be reading romance novels or chick litt. give me some more time to adjust to work, and i'll soon be welcoming my first love - classics - with arms wide open. (i currently have my eye on the anne of green gables series that comes in a box of its own. my birthday's on may 23. hint, hint!)
tomorrow will be so different. something was lost, so tomorrow will be destitute of a tradition. it's an understatement to say that it's sad. actually, it breaks my heart.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, what you read, what you know that breaks your heart, & what amazes you with joy & gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love & it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe, SJ
i think that it would relieve you guys to know that i'm not a "woman of steel". i cried already. it was not an i-can't-take-this-anymore episode, but more of a few minutes of feeling that things have started to sink in. a few minutes that repeated a few times within the day. honestly, i'm not sure yet what i'm going through right now, that's why i can't feel anything intensely. i don't know if the decision was right, or if it was at least the best decision to make under the circumstances. i only pray that if a mistake was made, it can be rectified before it is too late.
in the HR outing in calamba last weekend, we played taboo, among other games. here are some of my favorite parts:
(robot)
ma'am vanessa: pag hindi tayo tao, ano tayo?
group: hayop?
(adamant)
ma'am celle: sinong partner ni eva?
ma'am vanessa: peron?
(spinning)
me: anong present tense ng spin?
group: spins?
(bad hair day)
ma'am celle: kaya tayo nagpapa-relax o rebond dahil meron tayo nito...
ma'am emy: pera?
that last bit totally cracked me up.

may i just say, working in HR is exhausting. there's so much paperwork and sometimes, a bit too much people interface. don't get me wrong, i'm no hermit, but sometimes, i feel that the constant calls and inquiries are about to get the better of me. *sigh*
