“Time is very slow for those who wait, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who lament, very short for those who celebrate. But, for those who love, time is eternity"
(William Shakespeare)
Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don’t count.
(Dr. Robert Anthoney)
When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.
(Sir John Lubbock)
All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.
(Woodrow T. Wilson)
I know what I’m waiting for, and I believe it will come… when I least expect it.
(Gracy)
Be patient Princess, it’s been 6 months and 16 days only, you haven’t waited that long yet. In God’s perfect time, you will receive it.
(Monks)
And the waiting continues…

Elevator Story 3
Our elevator failed me again, not once but countless times this week.
Imagine:
…going home at 12 midnight/ 1am after a hard day’s work, moving fast enough so that you can still catch that elusive sleep, but, lo and behold --- the elevator is not working at this hour!!! Grrr… I climbed the 90+ steps in the middle of the (dead) night.
…haven’t got enough sleep, woke up late, moved as fast as I could, went to the elevator area, pressed the button – it turned red, yey!!! Waited for a few seconds… red light went out but door not opening tsk..tsk… Pressed it again, it turned red and then nothing. The elevator decided to go on strike, again!!!
…wearing my highest heels to work (or gimmick before work) and only to find out I have to trek the 90+ steps down because the elevator is not working!!!
Reasons why the elevator fails me:
1. Para pumayat ako (its no joke having to use the stairs when you’re at the 7th floor);
2. The 2nd (3rd, 4th , 5th , 6th or 8th ) floor doors are being repainted (why haven’t I seen this done in our floor???);
3. The benz-owner at the 8th floor is keeping the elevator all to himself…
4. Those people at the 2nd floor are too lazy to use the stairs in going up/down… there are too many of them… elevator can’t cope with the number.
5. I really don’t know. Ayoko na mag speculate, basta, di nag wo-work ang elevator naming, waaaaaahhhhhhhhh….

My Monks
Eto po si Monks...
Bakit Monks? Kasi sabi ng roomies ko, mas mukha daw siyang monkey kesa bear, kaya Monks.
He (eh sa gusto ko na HE ang gender nya eh, ano ba!) keeps me company sa aking munting kwarto. Di sya nag rereklamo pag na-c-crushed to death sya, at higit a lahat, na hu-hug ko sya, hehe.
Yan si Monks...
(naka green din sya, hehe).
Fave pic
This is my fave picture to date. Want to know why? Kasi, the strawberries and icecream concoction is really delicious, as in!!! Want to have another one soon... However, beyond the taste, what made this my fave is the memory the went with this pix... haay. :-)

ewan ko sayo
mood: sad
why: dahil sa walang kwentang bagay na di naman dapat pinapalaki.
Naiinis lang ako kasi naiiyak ako. Bakit kasi di tayo nagkakaintindihan? Ilang beses ko bang sabihin na ayoko ng ganito? Its not even the time of the the month para magpaka senti or maging mainitin ang ulo pero ayun, uuwi na nga lang, hihirit pa.
bakit nga ba di maintindihan ng ibang tao?
na ayaw ko ng tsismis?
na ayaw ko na nahi-highlight?
na ayaw ko pinag uusapan?
ilang beses ko ba dapat sabihin at dapat ipaintindi eto?
once? twice? thrice? or forever???
naiinis na nga ako eh, palagi na lang...
hay naku
ewan ko sayo
mali ako oo, pero sana naman wag mo akong sabihan ng ganyan.
bahala ka
desisyon mo yan

Good or Bad – you decide
I woke up at around 4 pm today after a very good night (day) sleep. I am still a bit sleepy so I lazed around. It was a rather cold afternoon so I decided to sleep until 5pm. At around 5, I woke up, took a bath and started my morning ritual. I had difficulty deciding what to wear since I was not able to get my laundry (and I only have limited slacks to choose from). When I was fully dressed, a heavy rain poured down from heaven (hehe). I didn’t want to go out with that kind of downpour so I decided to stay a bit and watch the evening news.
After 30 minutes, the rain stopped. I went out of the room as fast as I can for fear of another downpour.
As soon as I reached the elevator area, I noticed a paper taped at the door, upon closer look, it was the announcement of the ongoing repair. I have no choice but to use the stairs (remember we are situated at the 7th floor), good thing my legs are no longer aching (from the week-end’s Grotto climb). Upon reaching the gate, I noticed the pool-like water (“baha” in other words), right outside the gate. I moved the gate a little bit and jumped to the other side and continued my walk to the newly renovated street. I even congratulated myself for that little jump (which saved me from getting my feet wet).
I was supposed to go straight to Santillan road but noticed it was also flooded (the street I mean), so I had to go back and walked thru the newly renovated street. I noticed the other side of Pasay Road (near Waltermart) is already filled with (ankle-deep) water. I passed by Pedicab driver who asked me "Makati Square?" for which I ignored since I have no intention of riding the pedicab for just a few minutes/meters walk. As soon as I reached Kamayan (?) I noticed that the surrounding area is flooded.
Oh my God! Where should I walk??? All taxis are taken. I was thinking of riding the jeep to Mantrade but the water near Waltermart is a bit high. I don't want my feet to get wet (with all the kadiri things you can imagine afloat the water). I was still thinking how to go to the office when I noticed an empty pedicab with the driver motioning me to ride. I walked to their area and asked what area is not flooded. They said "there, why, where are you going?". I told them I am bound for Ayala. They mentioned they can transport me to McDo for 30 pesos. I agreed.
All streets we passed by (Santillan area) is really flooded. I even had to keep my feet high to prevent it from getting wet. All of Pasong Tamo is really flooded. I can only think of all the dirty things and virus one can get if ever one decides to brave the street! I have to give it to the driver, he knows how to maneuver the flooded streets like pro. I was dropped near de la Rosa and I gave the driver 50 pesos since it was a difficult drive from Pasay Road.
Luckily, there was no more rain and no more flood in the area near McDo. I went to the office (side tracked a bit at KFC and bought my bfast) and came in early for my 9pm telecon.
Was it a good day? Yes! despite the heavy downpour and the flooded street, i was able to sleep well and not an inch of my feet got wet. I was even very productive at the office. The only downside was that I did not see Wombat. I was hoping he would go to KFC (when I said i was buying food). But its okay, I know he has difficulty getting a ride and he needs to study. :-)
By the way, during the pedicab-ride, I was tempted to bring out my camera and take a couple of shots but I was afraid someone might rob me (thinking of Rochelle's experience). I didn't even texted anyone of my predicament because i don't want people to notice that I have a phone and camera with me, lest I expose myself to the bad motives of some person.
So, I let a very good photo opportunity pass. :-( To compensate, i have this fave photo "pose" to share with you. :-)

A weekend well spent
I went out of town last weekend with a very good friend. It was a tiring, but a fun filled day. Was able to check out the must-see places and of course eat my heart out. Can’t wait to try the donut ice cream here, hehe. Got lots of picture as well.
My body is aching, my legs is hurting but my heart is swelling --- I’m so glad I went out, de-stress my self from work and from thinking of my 2007 plans. I am happy. We are both happy. It was a happy week end. Di ko lang ma expound hehe. Pictures, coming soon...
