Is it okay if I call you mine Just for a time? And I will be just fine If I know that you know That I'm wanting, needing your love, oh woh woh woh.
If I ask of you, is it alright If I ask you to hold me tight Through a cold, dark night? 'Cause there maybe a cloudy day in sight, And I need to let you know That I might be needing your love, oh woh woh woh.
Refrain
And what I'm tryin' to say isn't really new; It's just the thins that happen to me When I'm reminded of you
Like when I hear your name, Or see a place that you've been, Or pass a house that you've been in one time or another; It sets off something in me I can't explain, And I can't wait to see you again, Oh babe, I love your love, oh woh woh woh.
I see us in the park Strolling the summer days Of imaginings in my head And words from my heart Told only to the wind Felt even without being said
I don't want to bore you with my troubles But there's something 'bout your love That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet There's something 'bout your love That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet Knocks me off my feet
I don't wanna bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't wanna bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you More and more
We lay beneath the stars under a lover's tree That seems through the eyes of my mind I reach out for the part of me that lives in you That only our two hearts can find
I don't want to bore you with my troubles But there's something 'bout your love That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet There's something 'bout your love, yeah.. Oh.. that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet Knocks me off my feet
I don't wanna bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't wanna bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you [chorus fades out]
i''ve loved this song since forever, pero hehehe.. natawa ako when i posted this and saw the timestamp. la lang ^_^
One of my wave one friends, Kim, is leaving for Canada on the 19th of August. We were all kinda surprised as we all thought she'd be leaving in November. Hehe.. kahit sha nagulat. The day we learned she was leaving, we all made plans to have a despedida/reunion party. After all. we haven't seen each other much the past few months. Some have resigned, half of the ones who stayed are currently in training for the new program, and half is still with the old program.
Like most of the gimmick plans of Wave One, nothing was finalized until the day before the set date. Hehehe.. yes, we're fickle-minded. But it's mainly because it's hard to set a date and time due to our different schedules. Final plans: Aug 4, 2007 6pm at Fats KTV in Malate.
My training ended at 1pm. I didn't want to go home because if I did, I'd probably go straight to sleep and wake up in the morning. Mike & James thought the same thing, so we decided we'd either go to Megamall or Glorietta to watch a movie to kill time. Unfortunately, Mike forgot that he was supposed to finish something and I didn't feel like going to the Mall as I was sleepy (I had been awake since 1 am). So Kakai (who's going to rilette's despedida), James & I just decided to sleep in the lounge, while Mike finishes what he needed to do.
Males & Females have separate sleeping lounges at the Shaw site (unlike in Libis & in Makati), but we stayed in the female's lounge because of the ghost stories we've heard about the new site (that needs a separate blog entry, hehe!). I had a hard time sleeping. James & Kakai were already asleep and I was still wide awake. My imagination (or maybe my paranoia? :p) was driving me batty. It was weird I tell you. Since its a new site, only the people undergoing training are there along with the workers adding the finishing touches. And, as out training classes ended at 1pm, the only people there, aside from the workers, security & gayren, were the four of us, and we were the only ones in the lounge. I kid you not, on our way to the lounge the lights started flickering. So, you can't really blame me for being paranoid ^_^.
I fell asleep for about an hour and I couldn't go back to sleep because evry sound I hear was giving me the creeps. It was a good thing Kakai & James woke up after a few minutes and Rachel arrived. After touring her around the new site, we went to PBCom to pick up Mitch. Dads, Rom & their friend Joby arrived next, followed by Joanna. We got 2 cabs and proceeded to Malate. By then it was already 7pm. So much for the 6pm plan :p We were the first to arrive, as Kim was still in a bus from Baguio, and the rest were still on the way.
We were joking around that we'd better sing what we want to sing already, because when Kayeee & Sofie arrives, the mics will be glued to them. Heehee! We took our turns singing and everyone had something to say about each person's choice of song, like, who was it dedicated to, or it fits his/her situation. It's hard to sing and laugh at the same time. Haha! I laughed so hard when Rach squealed that her murderer song was on the list. "Murderer song? Ano yun?!" I found out that it was Rihanna's Unfaithful (I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna be the reason why, Everytime I walk out the door, I see him die a little more inside, I don't wanna hurt him anymore, I don't wanna take away his life, I don't wanna be.... a murderer) Kaloka!
Next to arrive were JayR & his wife, Fin. We haven't seen him since he resigned so there was a lot of catching up to do. Then Sofie & Kayeee arrived. And as predicted, the mics were glued to them. Haha! Jena & her hubby came next. Another round of drinks, chikahan & singing. Finally at around 9pm, Kim arrived. :) It was time for the grilling to start. Hehehe.
After 6 hours together, we decided to call it a night. I had a great time, but I suddenly felt sad before leaving. It finally dawned on me that Kim was leaving soon. I'll miss her kakulitan, the way she reacts to some jokes after a few minutes (hehe), or how we'd always tell her to move on after a bad call :p. Wala nang magtatanong sa akin na, "Paano nangyari yun? Eh bakit ganun? Eh, Ate Jennie, what if..?" Hay nakoh, Kimchi mamimiss talaga kita. I hope to see you before you leave, but if I'm unable to, as you said, "may Multiply naman." Love ya!
Over the rooftops a plane in the sky Beat of a bass drum cars passing me by Under a bridge dark then back into light A river of raincoats and a forest of faces Still for a moment then red into green Slow, shuffling, shoes whisper sight unseen Row upon row of houses return an empty stare Let the daydream for a little while longer
Ah.. yeah... Hope I'll never wake When Im thinking about you (yeah) hope I'll never wake Cos now I'm thinking about you
Two-minute hailstorm then melts into rain (oh) sing me a rainbow its sunny again Swallows overhead while the traffic snarls below Could I (could I) keep dreaming for a little while longer
Hope I'll never wake When I'm thinking about you So that you know - I never want to wake Cos now Im thinking about you
When you're searching your soul When you're searching for pleasure How often, pain is all you find But when you're coasting along and nobody's trying too hard You can turn around and like where you are
(yeah and) I hope I never wake When I'm thinking about you And I close my eyes (dear) Now I'll never never wake Why should I stop thinking about you..

I've loved Chasing Cars from the first time I heard it. I loved it even more when it was used on an episode of Grey's Anatomy, not because it's one of my favorite shows, but because it fit the scene.
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
We'll do it all Everything On our own
We don't need Anything Or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know How to say How I feel
Those three words Are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads
I need your grace To remind me To find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I finally succumbed and got a weemee. After some prodding from friends, I caved in. hehehe! I don't know why, but everyone at work seems to have one. I guess it's the avail time during midshift. ^_^
Meet my weemee, jenniebebe. Add me to your weeworld if you have one. :) If you still don't have a weemee, go to weeworld.com and enjoy creating your avatar! :)
You are very burned out. You need a huge break from your responsibilities, starting as soon as possible. And you need this time to reevaluate what you really want out of your life. Because you're working hard and going no where... and that would burn anyone out!
Great. The test above just confirmed what I've been suspecting all along. I'm burned out. Not that the above-mentioned test is scientific, but it just confirmed my suspicion. And I've been feeling that way for quite a while now.
I found myself not wanting to get out of bed and go to work, sleeping in when I don't have work, I am crankier than usual and the kicker: I've been sick for a week.
Brace yourselves, this is going to be another loooong post. ^_^
Last Feb. 28 I went to work early and I felt great. I spoke with an IT guy on the phone for about 45 minutes because I couldn't log in to system, as my profile had some restrictions because we found out that my profile was erroneously placed on another account. Anyway, long story short, I was able to log in to the system and I was about to log in to my Avaya when I suddenly felt chills. As in! Nanginig buong katawan ko and my teeth were chattering. My mind went, "I'm having psychosomatic symptoms. It's like I didn't like to go to work and it manifests by having out of the blue sickness." Weird no? but I've heard of stranger things happening, so it's a possibility :)
I went to the clinic and was surprised to find out that my fever was 39 degrees! I was given medicine, was told to rest and come back after 30 minutes. 30 minutes after my fever was up to 40.1. YIKES! I wanted to go home because I felt so nauseous and I was still having chills, but the clinic just told me to rest and didn't give me a pass. Hello?! Naghahallucinate na ako sa taas ng lagnat ko, di pa din ako pinauwi? Kamusta naman yun?! When I got back to my workstation, I immediately sought out our Shift Manager and upon hearing that my fever was up to 40.1, gave me the go signal to go home. Yehey!
I didn't have the strength to go home so I went to my tita's house which was nearer. I rested and went home with my sister at 5:30pm. The next two days were my off days and I spent every waking hour in bed. I was too tired and too nauseous to get up.
I was absent for the next two days and when I get back to work, I was surprised to see my teammates already logged in, even if I was an hour early. I thought there was a huge call queue. Turns out, our schedules changed for that week from 8am-5pm to 12:00am-9pm. ARGH!!!! No one told me :( I was 7 hours late for my shift. Huhuhu! My team mates thought I was on leave (as I was scheduled to be on leave the next week. they thought it was that particular week), and my TL was also sick. Haay... we immediately called him and he asked me if our Shift Manager already saw me, I told him not yet. TL said, "Uwi ka na, ako na bahala sa absence mo, basta dala ka ng med cert." Yey! So uwi na agad ako. And came back later that day for my next day's shift.
I was only present for 2 days, after that it was already my off days then my 5 day leave, then off again. Hahahah! I was not at work for 9 days. I loved it!
I was on leave because our maternal great aunt arrived from Alaska for a vacation and she stayed with us during her last week before going home.
We also had our annual Teodosio Clan Summer Outing that week. It was great to see the family once again. We haven't been together since last summer. Sure, we see each other once in a while, like last Christmas, but not everyone was there. :) Never mind if I got sunburned (I still have an X on my back, but who cares? ^_^), and I was tired. I LOVED it! Summer was off to a great start. More pictures to follow soon. :)
Tonight my cousins and I will be together again for one of our cousin's despedida overnight party here at home. Wow. Overnight. I can't even remember when they last stayed overnight. Probably when mom was still alive.
Oh and about work? I'm trying out for a new position, I hope it turns out well. Fingers crossed. I dropped by the office earlier to submit my LOI and check my new schedule. Hehehe... I was so ecstatic when I found out that instead of going back to work tomorrow, I'll be back to work on Monday at 11pm. WOW. My 9 day vacation just turned to 11 days. I LOVE IT!
I was supposed to blog about something else but I got sidetracked when I saw this: BRITNEY SPEARS IS NOW COMPLETELY BALD! I'm not a Britney fan, but this completely threw me out of my element. Hehehe... affected much? La lang.. nagulat lang ako.
In fairness, bagay sa kanya. But I can't help but feel sorry for her. Nagbreakdown na. It's a good thing I'm not a celebrity. Ahahahaha! feelingera, noh?
I am on leave from work for two days and I am awake and in front of the computer like I have work. ^_^ My body clock is so used to being on US Eastern time that even if I'm not at work, it feels like it. Heck. I even feel hungry between 2-3am, coz that's my "lunch time" at work.
I'm exchanging emails with my Wave one friends. I told them, and I actually think this is true, that I like going to work for our email spamming and not because I like taking calls. Hahahaha! But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my Letter of Intent for another position would be accepted soon. I am feeling quite burned out, to be totally honest. Hence, my application for a 2 day leave.
I'll actually be out of the office for 4 days (I'll be back on Saturday night), coz after my 2 day leave, are my scheduled off days. Yey! Hopefully, I'll get some things done. :) If not, sleep the day away coz I sincerely lack that. My body needs to rest, coz even if I get at least 6 hours sleep everyday, nothing beats sleeping at night. Ewan. Iba ang feeling pag normal yung tulog.
I've been working for quite a few years now but this is the first time that my relationship with my workmates is the best. I mean, I've worked well with others and I sincerely liked them, but my wave one friends are different. The bonding is amazing. I can honestly say that we're like family, save for two who fell from the cracks. Maybe it's because we were together since the start of the program. Or we just generally like each other. Even if sometimes there are issues, we work it out.
On some studies, it says that people stay longer at work if they like the people they work with. Salary or prestige isn't the top factor, the working relationship is what most people place at number one. I feel like that with work right now. I may not like the work load sometimes, and there are some people who are crappy to work with, but then there's my wave one family. And suddenly, work doesn't seem so bad. :) It's one of the reasons I stayed (that & because I was afraid of the bond - which is just a scare tactic :p).
I haven't blogged like I used to, and I miss that. I also miss doing my blog rounds. Most of the time I write on my Starb's planner, and it's like my diary now :p, thinking that I'm going to blog about my day or certain thoughts that day. But I never do. It's just there on my planner - outlines, quotes, insights, bad days (days that I DO NOT want to remember), and good days that I want to get more of. I don't think I can blog as much as I have in the past, but I will try my best to update. :)
On the pop culture side... what do you guys think of American Idol 6 so far?
I think Paula is as loopy as ever and Randy is becoming meaner, Simon is still Simon. I don't think he's meaner than usual.. just more brutally honest :p. So far I like Sanjaya Malakar & Chris Sligh (the guy who looks like Jack Osbourne or Hurley from Lost). They have nice voices, and they have personality, especially Chris who said his goal is to make David Hasselhoff cry (in reference to last years final when Taylor Hicks won and the camera panned to Hasselhoff with tears in his eyes. ahahahaa! Hilarious!).
I'm waiting for Heroes to be shown here, I've heard so much about it. I can't wait to see it. I'm also very curious about Ugly Betty. Never mind if I know the story already, as two versions have already been shown here, the original Colombian soap & the Mexican version (or was it Venezuelan?). I didn't watch the Filipinized versions, but I'm curious to watch the American version because the star of the show, America Ferrera just won a Golden Globe & a Screen Actor's Guild Award for best actress. I've liked America since I've watched her movie, "Real Women Have Curves" and the "Traveling Pants" movie. I think she's great.
I still love watching House, MD, Grey's Anatomy, Veronica Mars, CSI, CSI:NY & Friends reruns whenever I can. Key words: WHENRVER I CAN :p But I'll take what I can get. :)
I've just watched The Departed and I loved it. Never mind if there are gory scenes (it's a Scorsese film, that's a given), and I think those scenes are essential to the movie. I think they deserve the Oscar nominations - Best Supporting Actor for Mark Wahlberg, Best Director for Martin Scorsese (I hope he wins this time) and Best Picture. I heven't watched Blood Diamond yet so I can't say if Leo DiCaprio deserves an Oscar for that more than The Departed, but he was great in the latter movie.
I also want to watch Little Miss Sunshine, not because of the Oscar hype, but because I love Abigail Breslin (since I watched her on The Signs) and Steve Carrell. These two actors are reason enough for me to watch the movie. :)
Anyhoo.. I've rambled on and on and it's already morning... I think I'm going to log off now and get some shut eye.
It's already the 6th day of the year and this is only my first post. I would have posted earlier but I've been sleeping a lot during the day. Napagod katawan ko, it needed time to recover from the Christmas Season ^_^
I spent New Year's Eve at the office. And like Christmas Eve, I was teary-eyed when I left the house. As I saw the families outside getting ready to greet the New Year, I felt even sadder.
When I got to the office, people were in generally the same state as I was. But we made plans to have early "lunch" at 11:30pm, go up the 17th floor for our Media Noche, and run down to the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas in time for the countdown and the fireworks display, sponsored by the City of Makati, the Makati businessmen/women & ABS CBN/Studi 23.
We looked forward to that at the start of our shift. My teammates and I were fast, coz we beat the others by telling the PAC that we wer having our lunch. We were the only ones that were able to go. We reached the corner of Ayala Avenue & Paseo de Roxas 20 seconds till midnight. Just in time for the fireworks display to start.
I felt like a child again, amazed at the wonderful kaleidoscope in the sky. My cloud of sadness lifted as I watched the myriad of colors exploding in the night sky. The crowd's enthusiasm and happiness was infectious and I found myself with a big grin on my face. I tried to call our house during the fireworks display, but it was so noisy around me that I couldn't hear the other line. I was finally able to call the house on our way back to the office, after 20 minutes. I almost didn't want to go back although we had to. But I felt that even if I'd get bad calls that night, my spirits wouldn't be dampened. :)
New Year. New Beginnings.
I don't really believe in horoscopes, but I like reading them at the start of every year. I don't know, but there's something about "knowing" what might happen during the year that excites me. I know that it might not happen, but it's something to look forward to. :)
My horoscope for the year looks good. Especially on career and love. O diba? Magandang motivation yan, kahit papaano. Hahahaha!
I had to work last Christmas Eve & on Christmas night, so I wasn't able to greet you guys. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
And yes, you read that right, I was at work on Christmas Eve. :( No choice eh.
From Dec. 23 - Jan. 2, my shift is from 10pm-7am. Saktong-sakto na nasa trabaho ako ng 12 midnight. Sad.
When I left the house last Christmas Eve, I couldn't help but shed a tear. Especially when I said bye to my dad. I didn't want him to see me cry, so I tried my best not to cry in front of him. When I got to the car, that's when I cried.
It was the first Christmas I spent without my family.
When I got to work, I had to force myself to smile. When I saw one of the Team Leaders and she told me that it was the first time, in 4 years with the company, that she spent Christmas at work. She told me she cried when she left the house. I told her I felt the same way. While we were talking, we were laughing & crying at the same time. Hehehe... We didn't care if looked like fools. We were entitled to it. :)
We had free lunch that day. The company hired a caterer and we had food the whole day. Hehehe! Dapat lang noh.
I had my first break at 12 midnight and I called the house to greet my family a Merry Christmas and my brother on his birthday . My dad answered after 6 or 7 rings. The moment I heard his voice, the tears fell. I greeted him Merry Christmas and I was going to speak to my siblings but dad said they were already asleep. Ay lalo ako nalungkot. When mom was still alive, we were awake until 3am. We'd go to church at 10 and arrive home before midnight and have Noche Buena. This year Christmas felt more sad than last year, our first year without mom. Hay. Yoko na nga, nalungkot na naman ako.
The next day, my cousins went to the house. I only had 3 hours of sleep before going to work, but it was okay. I had fun and it was great seeing my cousins again. :)
On New Year's Eve I'll be at work again, so I let me greet you guys in advance. :)
May you have a very prosperous New Year! Happy 2007!
I finally got my Starbucks' planner yesterday. WOOHOO!
I wouldn't have gotten it without my friends' help and the numerous GC's that I saved up from getting good CSAT scores. Yey! Thank goodness for friends who love Starbucks who'd buy the drinks and give the stickers to me. Heehee!
I would have gotten it sooner, but I was so saturated by drinking Toffee Nut Frap (coz that's the only Christmas Blends Drink that I can take - I don't like the Gingerbread & Peppermint Mocha drinks) that I had to stay away from Starbucks for 3 weeks.
I'll probably stay away from Starbs a lot longer now. Probably until next year when the 2008 planner comes along. Hahaha!
I'll assume that you asked, "What the heck was Jennie thinking, staying awake for 26 hours?!" Well, I have a very good explanation for that. My friends got married yesterday, but I also had work. I was not going to miss their wedding nor was I passing up on the opportunity to see my closest friends again. I hadn't seen them in almost a year, and friends based in the US, Singapore & Cebu will also be there. Skipping the wedding was NOT an option.
It was a good thing that this wedding was 2 years in the making. I had already filed my leave (even if I'm not entitled to it yet, but my TL was kind enough to approve that for me :D) months before, unlike another friend's wedding 2 weeks ago. I wasn't able to go because I couldn't find someone to switch schedules with me.
My shift starts at 12 midnight and I had to be at work about an hour before my shift so I can set up, which means I have to wake up at 9pm so I can be ready to leave the house between 10-10:30 pm. My shift ended at 9:30 in the morning and I got home around 10:30am. I had planned on taking a nap in the car on the way home but I wasn't able to get some shut eye (boohoo!). I went straight from the car to the bathroom to take a bath and get ready for the wedding. My best friend and her hubby were picking me up at 12:30, then we're picking up friend M, and we were off to Caleruega. Thank goodness for shortcuts, we were there before 2:30.
We were supposed to pick up the bride at Balay Indang and transfer to another friend's car so she can ride on the BMW (hay, oo masarap sumakay dun, heehee), but she called and told us to go ahead and she'll ride with her designer. We didn't want to but she insisted. But on the way there, my friends and I decided we'd stop before we reach Caleruega and hijack the bride on the way so she'd ride in the car.
We stopped at a shaded place, my best friend's hubby popped the hood and we went out. It looked like the car broke down. Some friends stopped when they saw us thinking the same thing. We told them our plan and they stayed with us until the car the bride was riding on passed us. They also thought the car broke down and stopped. Mission accomplished! The bride rode the BMW and my friend M & I transferred to the Maid of Honor's car. We were laughing all the way to Caleruega because of the plan but mostly because we were riding the "boob patrol" car. I'll give you a few minutes to figure out why. :p
My friends Aimee & Eric were wed at The Transfiguration Chapel in Caleruega It was an intimate wedding ceremony and the location made the wedding even more romantic. It was heartwarming and I'm not afraid to say it, I cried. Well.. I guess everyone cried. There was not a dry eye in Church, I tell you. I really don't know what makes people cry at weddings. It's like your happiness for the couple getting married is so overwhelming the you can't help but cry.
Of course it wouldn't be a Poste posse wedding if there were no funny moments (bloopers, anecdotes or whatever you want to call it ^_^). During the march, friend E stopped for a couple of seconds in front of us, so we can take her picture and another friend walked, or should I say, zoomed past us that the picture we took of her was blurry. While the bride was marching, we looked at the groom but saw that friend E was standing on the pew so she could catch a glimpse of the bride. Classic!
Caleruega was a magical place. I love it. But I had done a month's worth of exercise climbing the steps to the Chapel. Hehehe! It's beautiful, I kid you not, but be prepared to walk up and make sure you wear comfortable shoes.
The reception was held at Balay Indang, a two hectare property in Indang, Cavite. The place is quite hard to find, specially at night (hehehe!), but it's beautiful. I like it better than Sonia's, to be quite honest. It's very homey and inviting. And I love the cottages in the garden! My friends made the right choice about the place.
Before the reception ended, there was a 3 minute onsite MTV prepared by the videographer, Jason Magbanua & his crew. What's an onsite MTV? In his own words, Mr. Magbanua says: "The onsite MTV is a type of AVP wherein we edit the shots we took during the preparation and ceremony into a one-song music video." I think it's a marvelous idea. :)
As soon as I get the bride & groom's permission, I'll post the link to their video here. :)
Gotta go, gotta sleep, coz I gotta work to earn my keep! Will blog again soon.
i'm still alive :) i'm just too sleepy when i get home that i don't get to blog as i used to.
i miss my blog and bloghopping.
work has been toxic most nights, but surprisingly i love going to work. that's a first for me :p
i want to blog about so many things: work, my crushie (my new one, haha!), steve irwin's death :(, the 9/11 anniversary, my latest favorite book, tv shows, movies; my stupid callers. i guess it'll all have to wait until next time. :)
It was mom's birthday last Friday. She would have been 57, but she'll be forever 55.
We still miss her everyday. I know we'll always miss her, but knowing that she's in a wonderful place with God gives us comfort.
I had a dream last Thursday and she was in it. I prefer to think that she's visiting me in my dreams, rather than me dreaming about her because she's always in my subconscious.
In my dream, I was in my old high school walking around with my friends. We were in our school uniforms and we were walking to St. Cecilia's Hall, because there was a school event. I remember walking through the field and I felt someone looking at me. I turned around and on the covered walk to St. Cecilia's Hall, I saw a familiar figure sitting on mom's favorite reclining chair at home (Weird, I know. How can mom's chair be in school? But it's a dream, it's not supposed to make sense, unless we dig deeper, right? :p). I couldn't see her face but I said to myself, I know that outfit. It's the outfit mom was wearing on the picture above our bookshelf. The moment I realized that, the person looked at me. It was mom! She looked at me lovingly and she had the most wonderful smile on her face. I couldn't move, I just gaped at her. I wanted to run to her and hug her but I was so surprised to see her that I just stood there. She said. "I love you." and I said I love you back.
Then I woke up.
I was so frustrated to wake up, I closed my eyes and willed myself to sleep again, but my mind was already going on overdrive and I couldn't. Then my cellphone alarm went off, it was time for me to get up and get ready to go to work.
I could still see her face clearly. And I'll never forget that lovely smile on her face.
Today would have been mom's 58th birthday. It's been three years and miss ko pa din sha. Not a day goes by na hindi ko sha naiisip.
