Its Maie Birthday!!!

August 24, 2004 I celebrate my birthday with all my friends and loved ones. My officemates and closest friends came to our house, not to mention all my tropa at home. My two best friends called me over the phone… Richielyn and Ruth. Ruth will be back home on October of this year because she’s in Taiwan for more than two years now and we will surely have lots of gimmicks for all of the lost days that she missed while she was gone. My Birthday wish.... ummm..... fulfillment as to feel complete as a person. There’s a lot of things that I still wanna do, wanna have and I haven’t met my significant other yet! He is someone that I cannot live without and will truly make me happy even in those downiest, loneliest moments of our lives (buhay na kaya sya??? Hmmm???!)

Super tanx to all my super friends who greet me esp. to my family and b'coz of you guys.... Life Rocks!!! LOVE YOU ALL :-)

Ford Makati

Last Friday(8/20/04) just got hired in Ford Makati, Pasong Tamo Extension and next year they’ll be transferring at Taguig and today I called their HRD to turn it down because of certain reasons:
1.Taguig is way too far for me to work at
2.They want me to report there ASAP… as in within this week and I can’t, because here in my current job if I’m going to resign I’ll be given 30 days to turnover all my files/ work with someone who will replace me.
3.I’m earning better than what they are offering me.
4.I have to work there overtime just about everyday (b’coz the company is expanding… blah! blah!) and I’m afraid I can’t do that b’coz of One Voice. We will be having a concert on November and we are practicing almost ever night in preparation for that event.

Actually, I applied in their company because I want to work at Ford Manila (not in Makati) which is one ride away from our home thus I’ll be saving a lot for my transportation.

I think I'll just look for another job next year. There's more pa nman di ba?!!!

Wretched for a Friend

There’s this guy who’s my ‘kababata’ (a friend for a long time now!) and a good friend to my 2 brothers who’s kinda like me a lot. He’s been texting me a lot lately and worst last night he’s been calling me in my cellphone from 9pm - 12:00 midnight. Apparently, I’m not answering my phone,,, Helllooo.... can’t he get the message?! All I can offer is my friendship.... nothing more, nothing less. He’s always there for me though, I feel very grateful that someone likes (or love me?!hehehe) that much but its kinda irritating on my part & I think if there’s one guy who is truly good to me, maybe will do everything I ask him to.... its him! He knows I had a long-time boyfriend and when we split-up he always show-up (never give-up huh, that’s the spirit! hehehe). What can I do if I don’t feel the same way di ba? I just hope & pray that sooner he’ll find some one who will love him the way he wanted coz he deserves to be happy. Right now I don’t know how to tell him to stop texting or calling me b’coz as a friend I don’t want him to feel sad about anything. He’s nothing but being so good to me but I just don’t feel the same way. Hope he just get it over!

Rationalization

last night we went to one of my friends house coz its his b-day. Happy kinda Sad! Happy coz magkakasama n nman kmi, Sad coz di kmi kumpleto. I feel like kinda missing my friends so much, masyado kc akong bz coz nakatutok ako sa one voice. We'll be having a concert on November 27 at Philamlife so kinda 4 times a week practice nmin. Most of the times di n me nakakahabol sa gimmick and prang may nami-miss me na bonding ng tropa w/c is kinda important to me. One of my friend nga thought na nagkukulang na daw sya ng oras sa kin coz we hardly talk na o mag-kamustahan at prang napahiya ako coz deep inside i know its me who don't have that much time for them. I ask her to spare me until November and I know with the kind of brain she has.... she will understand me! I'm kinda blessed having all of my friends, you know!

Chasing Butterflies.. Touching

Chasing ButterfliesFinally, I've caught it. The elusive butterfly I've been dying to catch since I was old enough to know the meaning of the word 'belong.'My butterfly. Yes, it is truly mine. I've finally found the love of my life.I've always equated chasing love to chasing butterflies. It's not easy to catch a butterfly because of its elusiveness. One would spend hours, even days, of chasing one before succeeding or giving up. Just like what I did for love.I've been in love so many times before yet I never found someone who really stayed. They all went away after a few months or so, leaving me behind with a broken heart and broken wings. Many times I tried to quit, many times I failed and ended up getting my heart broken again and again. The elusive butterfly flying, always flying away from my reach.Until he came along.He came when I was busy chasing after someone whom I thought would give me wings to fly and soar through the clouds. I was the butterfly he chased but who never gave him the chance to catch up. He was not my type, that's why. My butterfly then was all I could see and think of.But God has a funny way of helping me see things clearly. First, He took away the butterfly I was busily chasing from me. I was devastated and heart broken. But that's when I began to notice him for the first time. He was not that bad after all.At first, I thought he was not a good catch. We were total opposites. I like guys who write or draw or paint, he doesn't even know how to draw a straight line. (I like guys who write me poems, he doesn't even write me one-liners.)* I love guys who lavish me with gifts, he thinks gifts are a waste of money. I love saying "mahal kita" every chance I get, he thinks that is cheesy. I thought it was a mistake to be with him. I thought he was not worth it. But when I begin to dig deeper, I discovered a hidden treasure.He loves me.Suddenly, he metamorphosed into a beautiful butterfly right before my eyes. The caterpillar I once knew and thought would never come to love has turned into a wonderful butterfly. And the best part is, he is mine.Once, chasing a butterfly had brought me immense pain that I thought I would never have the courage to chase another again. But he changed my heart. He made me believe chasing butterflies doesn't bring sadness or sorrow, only joy and love. He made it such a great and noble task because he didn't let me do the chase. He was the one who did the chase. For me.
