Sick

It happened finally.  

Not that I'm anticipating… I just knew there is something wrong in my body lately.  Not feeling very well, plus add that I couldn't sleep more than 3 hours since Monday… plus all the anxiety going on.  It has hit me.  I woke up just now and got fever. 

Already sent an SMS to my boss that I couldn't make it to office later.  But of course my notebook is online in VPN just to check emails and stuff.  My NOKIA project is on its way to integration testing and oh so great it happened that I can't check the connectivity til end of office time (Scottsdale,AZ timezone).  Good thing a friend at work is also part of the project so he could cover up for me.  How unprofessionally bad timing my body could be!

But really, I could use a day off from work.  Everyone needs it from time to time. 

Ode to the Fossilized Whatever…

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside

Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye

So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday

Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you to know that I stand right by your side

And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll…

I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday

Waiting for someday Believing in someday Praying for someday, I'll be…
Longing for someday Clinging to someday Cherishing someday, I'll be…
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday Wishing for someday, I'll be…
Living for someday Counting on someday Knowing that one day…

I will see you

Bubbles, Glide and Paddle

They are the first three steps to learn to swim.  My very good swimming instructor told me so.  Last Saturday, amidst the afternoon rains, he gave me a not-so-private lesson at the pool of our serviced apartment compound.  This is what I really like in this place, since the pool is exclusive to us, we could enjoy it to ourselves especially on free weekends.  It is usually us pinoys residing here who occupy the pool during weekends, ang saya. 

Anyway, that day was supposed to be for watching Fantastic 4 but we couldn't make it to the 2:15 reservation (which is ok, because I made another reservation for Sunday 2:45), so we ended up staying indoors til evening before we fetch a former colleague in the airport. 

We spent almost an hour in the pool while it was raining when the lessons took place.  And just to prove that he's good, I learned to swim partially after those three steps.  Weee!

Been a year, huh?

I wouldn't miss this day for the world…  No matter how much you seem to forget how great things had been…  Might be my last anyway.  Happy birthday balong!

La Independencia

It is still June 12 in some parts of the globe, so technically my post still is on time.  No, it is not holiday here in MY today and yes I am at work at this very moment.  But I do believe it is my responsibility to remember a day this important and least I could do is to blog it up.  Viva La Independencia (",)!

As I have not heard any unfortunate event happening in Philippines (which is great) as it usually does during commemoration of this day, I myself is in a battlefield.  Arghh.. I don't want to start this.  Halt.

Speaking of 'independence', this word is taboo for me lately.  Hearing this word equates to being 'free', of 'letting go', and of 'moving on'.  Of course, no independence will take place if there is no 'drastic change' going to happen.  Hence the battlefield and losers weep.  Need I say more?

I know the end of the tunnel is getting nearer and I could see the light coming soon.  Am just hoping I could endure the pain along the way.

Happy Independence Day everyone!
