“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...

be patient
Di na ako nakakapagblog, mejo busy ako ngayon eh… sa kakahintay ng magandang development sa aking 2007 dream. Minsan, nakakapagod nang mag antay pero dapat be patient talaga. Di ko na lang yan mamamalayan, anjan na. Ang sarap siguro ng feeling na yun, na ang pinaghirapan ko ng matagal ay magkakatotoo na. Sana… haaay… in the meantime trabaho daw muna ako at mejo nahuhumaling na ako sa kakaInternet, hehehe.

4. Grace – some friends still call me this name. (by the way, I’m Gracy to everyone who knew me since 1994 to present)…
Four places I have lived:
1. BSC valley
2. Heights
3. Sampaguita/ Kalayaan UP Dil
4. 1516B
Four TV shows I love to watch:

wala
I feel so useless today, as in wala akong nagawa.
Kanina pa ako dito sa office, 8:00 am, had a telecon earlier. After that, i answered some mails, prepared our "surprise bday treat" for Yen tapos Internet na.
Hay naku, nakaka guilty. Di able, mejo ginaganahan na ako, i still have 4 more hours para maging productive...
pero lately, eto talaga nararamdaman ko. ewan ko ba, im not that "workaholic" as i used to be. Pag may deadline, cram to the max ako pero pag wala, naku super lax. Tama pala si Ms. A, we are "dispensable". Maka-train na nga ng aking mga back-ups, hihihi.
Gracy, balik trabaho ka na!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shucks, ieeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww... ang artsssssss ko.......

meds
Just had my medicals done today, it was actually a breeze! Arrived there around 8:00 am, filled out some forms and was given a number (since I was early, I’m second in the queue). After paying 5,700 (3,200 for the meds, 2,500 for courier --- quite a rip-off since fed-ex only charged me 1,200 last March), I went to the motion of the medical examination --- physical, blood sample, urine sample, blood pressure and x-ray. After this, I was told that after a week, I could call them for the tracking number of the result (to be sent to LCU).
Now all I have to do is wait, wait and wait. Sana, tulad ako ni X who got her visa after 2 weeks at sana di ako matulad ni GJ na umabot ng 4 months ang pagaantay dahil hindi kaagad na confirm ang kanyang COE.
Lord, lam ko pinapakinggan mo lahat ng dasal ko… sana po tuloy tuloy na eto at sana po si Wombat din…
Tara, samahan mo ako sa aking pag-aantay…

..firsts...
First time kong…
…manood sa Globe Platinum sa Gateway (hindi yata sulit for me kasi konti lang nakain kong popcorn nun eh);
…kumuha ng magandang picture ni Oble (after spending 5 years sa UP, ni hindi ko man lang nakuhang magpapicture dun);
…pumunta sa Bohol (maganda pala dun, kaso parang bitin ako. Di kasi ako nakasama sa snorkelling nila kasi di ako makahinga nga maayos dun sa gear na napunta sa akin);
…kumain sa chocolate kiss, yung sa first floor (nakakain na rin ako dun sa 2nd floor, twice na din with my friends, pero sa first floor, minsan lang);
…manood ng concert ni Regine at Ogie (at nagmadali umuwi kasi may nakita akong di ko dapat makita,hahahaha);
…pumunta sa Jaime Velasquez park, mag stay dun ng matagal (as in hanggang madaling araw yata);
…mag Bay Walk na aabutin ng umaga (5 am, hehehe);
…mag simba sa Alimall (hehe ulit);
pag tinignan mo ulit ang listahan ko sa taas, baka sabihin mo na hindi naman out of this world ang mga entries ko, pero pagbigyan mo na ako, may rason ako kung bakit ko nilagay ko ang mga yan jan. Wala na lang pakialaman. ;-)
Baka nga may nakalimutan pa akong isulat eh, sa susunod na lang. :-)

This post is for you
I may have said this a thousand times, but I still want to say it again: “Thank You”
… for being there last week-end;
… for coming over to our house at 6:30 am;
… for just letting me cry my frustrations (sometimes, after a very emotional and tiring day, its good to just let everything out and cry);
… for braving the rain, for waking up earlier than usual, for bringing the heaviest of my things (and all you got is a tsokolate and bibingka);
… for not giving up on me (tantrums and all);
… for trying your best to understand me;
… for believing in me;
… for being YOU.
Merci beaucoup, du fond de mon cœur…
Merci pour faire ressortir l'enfant dans moi...

Elevator Story
In my previous entry, I narrated my love-hate relationship with the elevator at our place and how it failed me twice already. Well, early this morning, I was glad to see that there’s a hint of light upon pressing the elevator’s button. When the door opened, I noticed the seemingly dark interiors of the car (do you call it a car or a shaft or whatever). As soon as the door closed, it became so dark inside! Oh my God, the lights are not functioning. Its really pitch dark inside and the elevator is creaking (since its really an old model, without the CLOSE button!!!). It was scary. Upon reaching the 7th floor, I went out as fast as I can and vowed to bring a flashlight the next time I go out of the house.
That’s my elevator story for the day. When I left the house this evening, it was working well, lights and all. Only then I realize that I forgot my flashlight.

New Home
We finally moved out from 1516B, the place we lived and breathed for the past 3 years and a half. Now, my current address is 712 (7th Floor, Rm 12) where the elevator has a mind of its own and decides when to be of use to everyone and when to take a break (unfortunately for me, the elevator failed me twice already, once when we were moving my heaviest bag and earlier today when I have to go to bank).
My first night at 712 is not that eventful, I didn’t sleep well coz I think I am alone, haven’t been able to talk to my new housemate yet. First night and all alone!!! But I was not scared, just very conscious of my surrounding. Good thing my tv is working (yippee, thanks Wombat for making sure that I have an operational tv to keep me sane in my new place), I can now keep track of my favorite shows. Next project is to have my dvd player fixed so that I can watched my fave shows again, and of course to finally learn French, Belly Dancing, etc. etc.
My bed (sofa bed) is not so comfy. I have backaches in the morning. I don’t know when this will last (the sofa bed, I mean).
I’m reporting night shift the whole week so I’ll be able to assess how sleep friendly in the day is our new home (and if proven not, then I can only buy dark curtains to keep the light from coming in. Not much choice for me as I have 6 months til my contract ends).
I would like to thank my Wombat for helping me in moving my things, for being there for me everyday and for keeping me company even if it means having to brave the rain, waking up earlier than usual and going home late in the evening. I really appreciated all the effort. I know we’ll have limited time together after this, but its all for the best.
May sense ba ang post na eto? If wala, then forgive me. I’m doing this while busy preparing for closing and audit, hehehehe.

Moving On
Moving on
We are moving out of our house this weekend. Am I sad? Yes, coz it means having to say goodbye to the space I learned to love, the place where I cooked my “experimental dishes” to the delight of my roommates, and the place where everyone is free to move around. Am I happy? Yes, coz it means living in a new (cleaner) house, having no “contract” to think about and not feeling guilty when I have to move away (meaning, I won’t burden my roommates with the huge rental expense). From six beautiful ladies sharing a house (and the responsibilities that goes with it), we are now down to three. But for how long???
Moving
My application is now moving! THE email came last Tuesday. I need to undergo a physical examination soon. I hope the Doc will give me a clean bill of health so that I can move on with my application.
Moving???
Just today, I came across the lyrics of Gabrielle’s Out of Reach. How fitting some lines of this song to my current state of mind.
We are moving out of our house this weekend. Am I sad? Yes, coz it means having to say goodbye to the space I learned to love, the place where I cooked my “experimental dishes” to the delight of my roommates, and the place where everyone is free to move around. Am I happy? Yes, coz it means living in a new (cleaner) house, having no “contract” to think about and not feeling guilty when I have to move away (meaning, I won’t burden my roommates with the huge rental expense). From six beautiful ladies sharing a house (and the responsibilities that goes with it), we are now down to three. But for how long???
Moving
My application is now moving! THE email came last Tuesday. I need to undergo a physical examination soon. I hope the Doc will give me a clean bill of health so that I can move on with my application.

"Out Of Reach"
Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK
But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you
But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK
But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you
But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there
For me
And finally, not anymore related to Moving
It takes 14 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. But what about hugs, how many muscles do you need to flex your arms and envelope someone with it? Surely, not that much to cause you muscle pains after, right?
A friend of mine has a “daily hugging habit”. She makes it a point to hug 20 people everyday and it never fails to brighten up a gloomy day.
What I love about hugs is that it makes me feel secure and eases the worry, fear and all the negative feelings I have.
Oh crap, I need a hug today.
