What movie is the story of your life?

Why does my bed seem more comfy in the morning ?

What a week it was!!!! After a week full of meetings and deadlines, today we ended our week in a settlement house.

Oh, I loved weekend, it is always most comforting to just lie back in bed and have my Zs till noon especially on weekend when you dont have to worry of anything. But I had to pull myself up for the day’s activity. I had to activate again my social responsibility awareness. Anyway, there is another day to oversleep.

It was not my first time I have ever visited an institution, but everytime I go to that kind of place, I am always moved. We threw a simple party to the childrens ages 2 to 7 years old. We booked the nearby Jollibee to deliver the some food and brought the masscot. We also rented a face painter  (we also enjoyed painting with our face and arms) and prepared a movie for them to watch. It was surprising that they also prepared some entertainment for us.

When we arrived at the settlement house, I personally experienced again the joy of brightening other peoples lives, even for a short moment of touching their lives. And remind myself again not to complain about little things when some people cannot get those little things. It shows how it is important not to take things for granted. It shows us we are more privileged than we think.

The children were so excited with the games, prices and give aways. It felt like Christmas.  We knew that what we share to them was so little compared to what they really need.  It was  also comforting  to realized that we gave something to these children without a doubt. And the most satisfying  thing for us after few hours of loving them was the look in their eyes, the smiles on their faces,  their appreciations and the sad goodbyes which were priceless. We will just continue praying for  both the children and the parents, knowing that was all we could do.

It was great time spending a few hours of our weekend.

Kiss and Tell

     For this Valentine, a four year old son of my friend created a new kind of Kiss, he called it Weapon Kiss and you can choose from -  shotgun kiss, a pistol kiss or a machine gun kiss.  We just  thought different kind of kisses like the butterfly, forehead, French, or even Hersheys, among others but we never heard of Weapon Kiss. Whew!!! Her mother did not dare to ask for the explanation for each kind  of kiss. All she was thinking is if he will be a chickboy or inventor someday. I said he might be a terrorist. My readers, you might want to give your own explanation, no right and no wrong answers. Kissing, who does not like them? Everybody enjoys it, from toddlers to elders, the sensation of it gives delight.

The topic brought my friend to share the story of her own first kiss.  (This friend of mine is the same friend whom I had previous entry with about having spooky experience in Tagaytay). She never had a boyfriend before but she met this guy whom she got along amazingly. They were practically neighbors and started out as friends. Sometimes, they would go out and watch movies and would kiss each other goodnight at the cheek. Then one night, when he brought her home, at her doorstep, instead of kissing her at the cheek he found her lips and they had a liplocked for few seconds.  It seems that her whole world was turning and Angels were singing from the haven. He knew it was her first so he let it slow , gave her time for her to go with the flow and catch the feeling to make it magical for her. She was caught offguard and open mouthed.  She stepped back afterwards and felt her cheeks burning. She was frozen in place and it felt  like her soul was deeply touched and warmed. She could hear her heartbeat echoing thoughout her head, causing her to second guess herself.  They said goodnight awkwardly.

And she even thought of slapping him if he did not dare kiss her again next time…(well, I did not know if she was serious or not or if she would dare do that!).

And they went out again the following day. When he brought her home at her doorstep and time to say goodnight she closed the door behind her. She knew what was coming. And he did not disappoint her, he grabbed her at the waist, kissed her full in the mouth. It  began as being  simple and very innocent at first, pressing their lips together,  but what was happened afterward  was a whole new experience for her. He trusted his toungue inside her mouth. She was taken aback and just held his arms for awhile, not moving her mouth on his. She never felt wonderul and glorious in her life.  The energy he brought into her body was completely erotically electric.

That time, slapping him was very far out of her mind…instead she thought that if nobody claims him within 30 days he would be hers…that planner hahaha. (He must be something!)

And the kisses that followed instantly dissipated her fear and she would always kiss him back, leading  to the most romantic embrace with both of them smiling between each perfect kiss. Her hands would moved  around to the back of his neck to pull him closer to her.  She said he is a very good kisser and a good teacher too. They became even closer, just talking for hours on the phone laughing and having a great time. It would be forever etched in her memory.

But of course, it would become special when you have your first kiss with the person you love, and you’re in the right place.

Did he become hers?? Did her plan worked out for her??….Your guess is as good as mine. Some things are really meant to be and some are not.That’s a fact of life that we need to accept. And other things never really change.

Time check…time to go home, there might be somebody waiting for me at my doorstep .

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Spread the love. Make sure you received a kiss this Valentines Day. Muah !!!!

My floral personality

It is supposed to be my Valentine’s entry but I took the test earlier so I might as well published it.  Anyway, I found something to write on Valentines Day….some stories brought back  of my reunion, watch out for it. And by the way, to my very few readers please read again my previous entry cause I edited and added something on it, things that totally slipped my mind when I wrote it yesterday.

So here it goes my floral personality

It’s said that flowers have a language all of their own. Long ago, when men found it difficult to say what they felt to the women they were courting, they sent gifts of flowers to express what they could not say. That tradition has persevered in modern times, although not everyone is aware of what the flowers symbolize.

Just like an orchid, I am exotic and beautiful. I represent the best of both worlds: tough but delicate. It takes a strong woman to be able to stand toe to toe with anyone, and I do that admirably. I am a risk-taker but not to the point of carelessness, and my bravery inspires the same in the people around me. What can we say? I am a natural-born leader. Just like this exotic bloom, I am able to thrive in some harsh conditions, but I make even the toughest challenges seem like a walk in the park.  My presence somehow takes the edge away, and people can’t help but be drawn to me.

How about you? Are you a sweet peony, a sophisticated rose, a free-spirited daisy, or a sturdy orchid?

Circa 90

Its now February, and another set of activities coming up. Just yesterday, I attended a reunion with  my friends and former officemates in my previous company. It was organized by the generous group, thanks a lot guys for a very successul event.  They connected us through text, call, email, chat, social networks, you name it, they did it.  Thanks also to our previous bosses and those working abroad who shouldered part of the event’s expenses. All of us were so excited even before the actual event.

It was memorable times of our lives when we were in the same company…the bonding and friendships were different, sabi nga there were always reasons to celebrate or go out during those times…. like magkasakit lang ang alagang aso ng isang kaibigan or naipagbili ang isang manok, lalabas na at mag iinuman, ganun kababaw pero ganun din kalalim ang pinagsamahan.  During those inumans, there was one ritual that you need to pass…..the 1, 2 and 3 ritual among the guys and sometimes even the girls…it means you have to enumerate who among the girls or guys of the company you like most and there were several couples who found (and few avoided) their destiny and partners in life through that bonding moments.  

We could say that one main reason that we are happy to keep in touch with each other is that our foundation of friendships were solid. It strengthen and build our healthier and stronger relationships with one another. We found friends there whom we know always there to help and  whom we know we can have lasting and exciting relationship.  Having said this, Thanks guys, nice to see you all again after all those years. As one of our previous boss says, we touched part of each other lives if not our whole lives.

Hope to see you all and more again next year.
