You

I don't know how You do it, weird but every time You do, I am always in awe... 

Thank you Lord for guiding me through everything... We will get through this... 

for I have You...

A time for Heroes

The Philippines was hit by typhoon Ondoy the hardest. Aside from what the people lost, we've gained more. Everyone became an everyday hero.

I would like to share these videos created by our team, made to honor the brave Filipinos.

Tita's Garden

This is my second favourite place. I would really love to share it so I used my laptop’s built in camera. (with a poor effect) but can you at least picture out the place? it’s an old terrace, thanks to my lovely tita Alen, who planted the beautiful vine plant on top and the potted flowers, she was able to preserve the beauty of the place. what I like best about this place is the night view. Whenever I sit here at night, I can always see the beautiful stars and the sparkling lights of the city of Antipolo below! Oohhh! Its just so lovely, that I lost the right words to describe it! I hope everyone can see it. Especially those people who are dear to me.

See my cup of coffee!? It’s a perfect afternoon indeed! A beautiful place and a coffee to settle everything!

I just saw a plane… pretty… I wish a have a camera to capture the moment.

Hays! Everything is just so lovely.

A comfort place! that’s its! It’s a comfort place! you will leave everything but lovely thoughts in here.  Here, sorrows don’t exist.

Look! Another plane on tip a perfectly paint brushed-like clouds… hays… pretty…

Typhoon Ondoy Experience.

The world knows that Philippines is one of the country that was hit the hardest by typhoon Ondoy. Specifically Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna and Cainta. I myself experienced swimming on floods while carrying my laptop to safety, and i will tell you, IT WASN'T EASY. i cannot see where i am heading at, when i look around, what i saw was a rubble of ruins, and as i try to see the water I'm swimming at, there was nothing but mud and dirt. My feet always bumps into something hard or sharp and i cannot prevent it from happening because for one, i cannot see anything from the mud wrench water. I got bruises all over my body. Good thing the rest of my family were safely relocated at a local school. Thinking about that gave me the strength to ignore everything I'm seeing. 

After the typhoon, it wasn't easy going back home. our house was consumed by the floods. Everything inside is gone. My sister's school stuff all gone (i saw her shoe floating in mud) , my moms living room was left in disarray, we cannot even see my fathers gadgets... Then i saw my books, J.K Rowling, Sidney Sheldon, Dan Brown, Meyers, Montgomery, Crichton, King, and many many others, gone... its as if seeing your own children dead... i hurriedly went outside and cried. 

I know everything passes. But right there, time stood still. We stayed no longer than a minute yet everything we've strive for a lifetime is gone, overnight. 

But i know everything has its end, this too will end. 

and everything we lost will come back double! 

for we are brave. 

we will strive harder.

let this be a challenge.

and we will get through this.

in the best possible way.

A dream within a dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

 lovely... makes me realize how one can be as tiny as a grain of sand, yet however hopeful and trying we might be to hold on to that single grain, the wave will still took it back... Funny how hard we try to tighten our grip, knowing the force would leave our hand wounded. Yet, we grasp, with all the force we have.

the sun is hiding at the moment...

...so am I.

at peace

I am calm and at peace...

not a good day...

Today is not a good day. Period. I’ve been struggling not to cry. I feel so bad. I feel so terribly bad. I will remember this day for the rest of my life. Someone I care about hurt my feelings. And I don’t know when I will be able to talk

to that person again. I know I will be able to forgive, but uncertain when I will forget. It hurt so much. I feel like crying right at this moment… I want to do something that will take my mind off things. I want to run… run as fast as I could without looking back. Then maybe, maybe when I’m loosing my breath, when my lungs can’t take the pressure, when I’m dead tired, I will be able to forget.

Funny how I think of ways on what to do to ease the pain, yet I am

doing nothing… I am so tired even to run… my knees are wobblin

g like that of a child whose about to take his first step… sadly, unlike him, I am not willing to take a step…

From now on I will simplify my life. I will get rid of things that are constantly hurting me, for they do me no good. I am about to change my life for the better. I will focus on my family. I will disregard somebody else’s issues and

look at mine and try to resolve them on the best possible way. I

will not be defeated by myself. I will conquer my fears and work it on my advantage. (That includes always counting myself as a second priority) I will live life the way God wants me to. And I know he doesn’t want me hurting like this.

the dazzling sun

it was wee bit difficult taking this photo... the sun was blindingly bright...





fishing at exactly 11am wasn't really easy...
these boys were really tough.

on a much shallow water, eager young mangrove sprouts welcomes the nurturing sun...

the waves were proud...

yet the sky accepts no defeat...

let the man in the picture decides which is more mesmerizing...

Voyage

have you ever seen such a beautiful hue?

I would like to share some of my photos taken from different islands in the Philippines. ;D
(for i just saw some being used by international organizations, its about time i share my own. yey!)

On our way to Apo Island, on board the 3rd and largest yacht...

where everything you see is blue...

ON IT'S MOST BEAUTIFUL SHADE.

yes, that happens to be me.

At last! that blogging feeling has finally knocked on my almost cobwebbed mind.
and i would like to create more of this.
give the credit to my favorite blogger ces...

currently stock

--- i am stock ---

--- i need to breath---

I am nonchalant yet not passive.

I am not going to say anything about things i know i am not worthy of discussing.

Politics is a wide array of controversial, exciting, nerve wracking, show business-y type of every thing that is under the sun. And i honestly don't want to linger nor say anything off the record just to prove i am capable of talking. nonsense.

I do not write about celebrities and they're current flings, i do not care whose gay nor straight nor keep a track on their road to fling city.

I write because of the simplest reason. I want to express. I want to release tension. I am nonchalant yet not passive.

I care not to be given praise.
I write because i want to please no one but my little self.

The tension of the opposite

"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?"

The tension of opposites?

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to
do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain
things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.

"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band.

And most of us live somewhere in
the middle. "

reality bites...

There was a pause as I repeated the words in my head a few times, sifting through them for
their real intent.

"You… don't… want me?" I tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed
in that order.

"No."

I stared, uncomprehending, into his eyes. He stared back without apology. His eyes were like
topaz–hard and clear and very deep. I felt like I could see into them for miles and miles, yet
nowhere in rheir bottomless depths could I see a contradiction to the word he'd spoken.

Down Divi

If your craving for an ultimate shopping galore but your limited budget is stopping you, walk down Divi. Yes, Divisoria…

Here you can buy all sort of things, from the freshest fruits and veggies, most stylish clothes, chic jewelries and accessories, home furniture, and everything you could possibly buy, at the cheapest price in metro!

If you’re looking for some high end stuff and want a slightly comfortable walk you can go to the malls. But never under estimate the buying power of those people who prefer to walk the roads of Ilaya and Ongpin.

In Ilaya, surely a little stroll away from the 168 mall, you can find many bits and pieces of what you need and want to buy. For those who are into business, whole selling is widespread. But for those who just want to shop, your 1000 peso bill will definitely go a long way. With this limited budget, you can actually buy a set of nice clothes plus shoes and accessories! Imagine the money you can save.

You can buy gifts here and your love ones will never know you bought them on the cheapest prize.

There are stands which sell souvenirs for different occasions and a patio that sell different stunning gowns which you can use for any event like the JS prom, a simple dinner date and even for weddings. The cost ranges from four thousand pesos, for wedding gowns, down to 800, for those little dazzling gowns.

Bags, shoes, clothes, nice jeans and accessories. Name it and they have it.

But if your looking for 10 up to 24K of stunningly engraved gold or silver jewelries, then go to Ongpin. I almost got blind looking at those shiny stuff. Golds everywhere! It’s as if King Midas just left.

Just take the walk down Divisoria, but always be careful with your things. Do not go there wearing your jewelries (you will never know) its best to be cautious.

And after shopping, you will surely want a nice meal. Don’t worry, delicious food stores are abundant on the streets of Divisoria. If you’re into Chinese food or typical Pinoy delicacies, walk around the streets and you will probably find a perfect place to rest your feet a

tell me about it...

While MJ is dead.

While the King of Pop is dead, while everyone is mourning and reminiscing. how? all I've been hearing, seeing, and even reading is all about the late MJ. I dont blame everyone. Michael Jackson have been part of their early slash teenage life. Even i, who were born not on the peak of his marvelous career, knew most of his songs slash dance steps! (hell yeah! wanna see me do the moon walk!? HAHA!) by heart...

i remember having a poster of one of his many concerts. so i guess, yeah, MJ (in a way) have been a part of my life too. I specially love "Ben" thanks to my mom.

Ben
by Michael Jackson

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

So, while MJ is dead...
The world, including me, will always remember his songs...

ayoko na ng pink

Mula ngayon, ayoko na ng pink. hindi na ko titingin sa pink. masyadong malambot. masyadong mahina. masyadong hindi ako.

PINK
-ang kulit, sinabi ko ng ayoko na sayo.

VOYAGE EDITING
- ok to. marami akong natutunan. biro mo, kaya ko palang mg-edit ng 30 hours straight? whew! basta ok ang kasama mo sa editing, ok ang kalalabasan nito. Pero xempre, ibang usapan na kung ang cameraman mo ay pasmado. Yung tipong naka-tripod ka na at naibigay na ng producer ang gusto nyang shots eh pagdating sa editing, right click-speed duration-50 less- parin ang tira ng editor sa video mo. patay! buti kung beauty shots at establishing lang ang kinukuha mo. Pano na kung action shots? sigurado, mang-gigigil ang producer mo, titingin ng masama sa editor, biglang mghahananap ng bagong video. (eh yung materials parin ng parehong cameraman ang meron ka) Kalbo na ang producer mo, probleblamado pa ngayon ang editor mo. Patay!
Lagyan mo ng cutaways yan! (Translation: Pangit ng video mo, boring, lagyan mo ng ibang mukha) Ooopps, ano yun? (Translation: Editor kaba ? bakit may pitik yang video mo?) hahahaha!

actually nakakatuwa nga eh. hehehe. nakikita mo ang gulo ng industriyang ginagalawan mo. Pag sumabit ang isa, sabit lahat. Opisyal na pumapasok nga lang sa isip to kapag editing na. kapag ieere na, kapag andyan na, kapag nakalatag na at naisip mong- teka, anak ng, my mali! sabit! sinong?

sabay-sabay na titingin sa huling taong humawak ng proyekto.

THE ALCHEMIST by PAULO COELHO
- Binabasa ko ulit. Dahil sa wala pa kong pambili ng bagong libro, nanghiram muna ako. Inuumpisahan ko ulit.
Gusto kong bigyan ng justice ang pagkukwento sa librong to, pero dahil hindi ko pa natatapos "ulit" hindi ko muna iku-kwento.

Invictus

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

"To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short."

"To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short."
-Confucius-

And this is where love puts me.

I loved beyond reasons, that’s why I’m hurting beyond what is possible.

I’m hurting… like hell…

I tried my hardest to forget, but I failed before. This time it’s going to be for real.
I’ve given him everything. Now, I’m going to love myself more.

I’m keeping something for myself this time. I’m going to keep my pride. I’m going to keep me.

There’s no point being someone else anymore. It caused me nothing but unbearable pain.

I’m going to be the old me, only better. For I’m putting you out of my system.

This time it’s for real. I’m doing this for myself. To keep me.

Coz if not, I will never forgive myself.

Oh books! Oh books!

I am inexplicably excited about my new borrowed books! Thank you so much to some very good friends! Ate Dinah lend me her classics, the ever ima

ginative and inspiring story of Jerusha Abbot and her Daddy-Long-Legs. Who happens to be her darling in the end. I was introduced to Judy Abbot way back elementary, where I often woke up as early as eight 8am to watch the morning cartoons. Yes, I first heard of the mischievous Judy Abbot through the TV tube. And isn’t it just amazing to be able to read it now!? Haha! I like the way the book is written. The story was told through Judy’s letters for Daddy-Long-Legs. It is a wonderful compilation of all her letters.

Funny but in high school, in one of our book reviews, I did that style of writing… I made a diary of the hero. Narrating every adventure he bravely fought.

My teacher was first shocked and asked me why I did it that way. I always like to do things differently. Call me stubborn, but I don’t always stick to the rules. I sometimes break them. For rules set boundaries, and boundaries limits you. My teacher gave me the highest score.

And enough about me. Haha!

Books oh books!

Look at this one, it’s a newly acquired favorite (Thank you ate dins!)

I am just at the first chapter and I’m liking it already. It’s a classic. I love classics!

The way they were told, the way the authors gave birth to the characters and it’s as if seeing the real thing centuries ago. With the puffed sleeves and the sleek trousers to match!

I still need to continue my journey with the five little p

eppers.

But I cant help taking a

look at the first chapter of Paulo Coelho’s The Fifth Mountain… (Thank you Erwin!)

Here it is…

But I’m not going to read it

now…

Paulo Coelho has a reputation of making his readers cry. I should know, I read most of his books… I don’t want to cry just now…

With this classics, (I consider Ricky Lee’s Trip to Quiapo a classic)

Looks like I have my nights booked! =D

Coffee for Robbie!

Coffee for Robbie!

It’s Sunday and I’d love to think that I have nothing to do for a change. Haha!
I’m in my room and I can here little critters outside! Oh, I almost forgot, I have a story to tell…

One sunny afternoon, I was at the backyard when I saw Robbie (a seven year old kid) playing at the faucet, holding a used coca cola tin can.

MARGIE: “ Hello Robbie! Anong ginagawa mo dyan?”

ROBBIE: “ Nilalagyan ko po ng tubig tong lalagyan”

MARGIE: “ huh? Anong gagawin mo dyan pagkatapos?”

ROBBIE: “ Ilalagay ko po sa bubong…”

MARGIE: “ lalagay mo sa bubong? Eh ang init-init ah!?”

ROBBIE: “ Yun nga po, tas mamaya, magtitimpla ko ng kape!”


I cant remember what I said to him after that. I was just laughing the whole time. But I did helped with his little endeavour. I was the one who put the water filled can on the roof! =D

The saddest lines…

… : “ I love you…”

--- : “ Mahal din kita…”

… : …

--- : “ But I’m confused..”

… : “ Confused with what?”

--- : “ Confused between sa GUSTO kong gawin at sa DAPAT kong gawin…”

… : “ Ano bang GUSTO mong gawin?”

--- : “ Yung kabaliktaran ng DAPAT kong gawin…”

… : “ Ano bang DAPAT mong gawin?”

--- : “ Ang lumayo sayo…”

Bubbles!

I never had the chance to have a quality time with my cousins. For maybe because my mind is set to a routine that bonds me to it like a chain. From Monday to Friday, I’m off to work from 7am till 9 pm. some are given the liberty to party on weekends, I don’t. But last night I was literally dragged by my cousin at a city fiesta. Where we sang (thank goodness people didn’t threw stones at us) and say, had fun. I really did have fun. On a weekend. That’s new.

Today, my father is making our lunch. This day is one of the few that gives me time to settle and clean my room, and gives me time to write.




As I was thinking what to write next, this beautiful multi coloured bubbles pop-out… and I was so amazed by it that I captured it. It never seizes to fascinate me. It has been my screen saver from the start and I am still loving it for whenever I tend to get lost on what I am doing, there they are! Beautifully cascading at my screen, floating… one of my bosses, Mr. Mike Cohen, once saw it and called my laptop a washing machine! And I answered indeed! For I have lots of laundry to finish with it! =D

Things I learned in kindergarten…

Things I learned in kindergarten…

Always say sorry when you’ve hurt someone.

Never start a fight.

Always say thank you when someone helped you.

Pray before going to sleep.

Return things you’ve bowered.

Never hurt anyone.

What I’m learning now...

Stay away from people who are hurting you. Even though you’re dying to go near.

I've been seeing things on the wrong light!

i am margie, known as the one who handles everything with outmost grace and confidence. i am the one who my little sister invested her dreams upon. she calls me her heroine. she gets her strength from me.

i am seeing things on the wrong light. i am so blessed.

God has been there for me ever since. He made me strong. Strong enough to play along with Him. and to trust myself enough that i can do everything with Him.

Mahal ko ang mga libro ni Bob Ong!

Bukod sa nuong nasa college ako ay mas can afford kong bilhin ang mga libro nya kumpara sa mga New York Times Bestsellers nina Sidney Sheldon at Stephen King, ay iba si Bob Ong. Iba bumanat. Simple pero swak sa kiliti at sapul ang bawat emosyong pinoy.

Here are some of my favorite lines from his books.

"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."

"Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka."

Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay!

"Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan."

Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili."

"Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon.

Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan...""

"Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa’yo – ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao."

"Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko."

"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras."

"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."

"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."

"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."

"Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan.
In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!"
