List of my Favourite People

I know that in life, there should be no favoritism, there should be balance. But i would like to defy the rule, break the chain by posting people who was or still dear to me. Who played a major role in my life, inculcating, even thought me and polished me as the person i am now. These people that i will give credit defines who i am inside and out; People i categorized as my mentor, companion, friend and my inspiration in life. The people i want to applaud and give my standing ovation.


1. Kevin Roxas- my co-trainee during Nset days, Maui Taylor look-alike. I learned a lot from this 25-year old lady from Roxas City, i admire her simplicity and maturity. I learn a lot of principles from love to different facets of life. She's the one made me realized 'why do i always fall for people who are committed' and that's because all those guys have one thing in common. Because these guys are the people who are considered as the total package (good looking,smart, good conversationalist, bankable) and she was right, these people are the market, and all people wants to have them.


2. Michelle Espiritu-my classmate,group mate,drinking partner, and one of my best friend. Though we're more than ten in our 'barkada' she's the one i considered as one of my truest friend. She knows me inside and out, every detail of my personality. She's my confidante, she's always there when i need someone to listen with all my predicaments, there to give advise and always assured me, that she'll stay no matter what. My sounding board, and I'm her sponge.


3. Sydney Igaya- my Amiga, my friendly ghost, my cousin. She's the one who stayed even everybody got away. She's the only person who knew the 'true' me. All the heartaches, all the crying, she's the witnessed when i first experienced heartbreak. I learned the other side of life from her. I consider her as my first best friend, though the world see her as the black sheep, for me she's the balancing force of my life.


4. Grays Gonzaga- my another group mate and friend. She's my friend from the time i set foot at Fatima University. My duet companion, we shared a lots of videoke sessions together. She has a wonderful and soothing voice, one of the best i ever heard. We really jive when it comes to music, we jell when we duet. She's the first person who appreciated my songs composition. And one of my treasured friend.


5. Ma'am Rei- My first buddy nurse at Our Lady of Mercy, she's the one i admire in my field of profession. She's the so called 'total package', she's beautiful,smart and caring. She possesses the knowledge, the skills and the attitude. I acquired her OC attitude, being obsessive-compulsive is a good trait to be a successful nurse.


6. Regine Velasquez- the Icon, the Asia's Songbird. It's a known fact for all the people who knows me that I'm an avid fan of her. When i was young i really loved her cover versions of Bluer than Blue, You Were There, and so much more to mention. When i was small, i used to sang her song "Kung Maiibabalik Ko lang" on videoke. And for the record, the first song i sang on stage was her phenomenal hit "You've Made Me Stronger". Until now, i used her song as my theme song, when i contemplating or hibernating. I will trade all i have just to have a voice like her, so serene, so powerful, nobody does the 'birit' compared to her. She's a legend.


7. Kristine Hermosa, Kristein Kreuk, Dawn Zulueta-The people i admire when it comes to beauty. Their beauty is classic, so elegant and ethereal. I really consider them as "Goddess" a beauty that will last a lifetime. A gorgeous face combined with intelligence and sophistication, that's describe these ladies. I'm really glad that Kristine Hermosa and I have the same birth date and height,could be fate?.If i was a girl i wish i could be as pretty as them.


8. Oprah Winfrey, Kris Aquino, Boy Abunda- These people are famous because they are 'masters of their own craft'. The wisdom is incomparable, when they speak i couldn't help but to listen. They always make sure that there's substance in every words they utter. And they always flagged that reading is the best tool to acquire knowledge and wisdom, (but experience still is the best teacher). That's why i admire these people for sharing what they know and what they have for their following.


9. Christopher John Alandy-dy Tiu- also known as Chris Tiu, its an open book that i consider him as my 'ideal man'. he's quite perfect for me though there's no such thing as perfect but physically and intelligent wise i really adore him. He's my weakness (tall,fair,lean and most of all chinky-eyed) but there's a lot to admire from this guy, he's a management engineering graduate, Captain of Ateneo Blue Eagles, a business man, a 'kagawad' to his barangay, a Dean's Lister, a print and commercial model, a host and many more hats he wear. He's really an inspiration to everyone, a dream boy, maybe a prince. I applaud him for staying grounded despite of all the successes his enjoying right now.


10. Melanie I. Talusan- my sister, my "idol". She's the bread winner of our family when my father died. She's the one responsible and i should give credit why i attained my status now. She's the one who sent me to college and made it possible for me to became a nurse. She's a truly loving, caring and generous sister, all her efforts are well recognized by the family. I admire her for being a good person inside and out, an ex-print ad model, a beauty queen. Truly ethereal beauty that comes from a good heart.


11. Remedios Igaya- my mother, the very sole reason why am i existing in this world. The fuel that drives me to continue my passion, my battle in life. My source of strenght, truly there's no greater person than your mother. Just to raised us to become a better person, she hurdled so many sufferings that you couldn't imagine. She endured all the pain just to kept us safe and warmth. My mother is my Hero, no one can ever harm me while she still around. A very kind, loving and wonderful person. I thanked the lord above for sharing to me this one marvelous gift i should be proud off, and that's my mother.

Happy Anniversary, Nurses of June 2007

It was last Sunday of August,when the results of our Licensure Examinationfor Nurses released. I was in my sister's house in Pasig when she got a text message from her former boss and Ex-commissioner of the PRC that i do passed the exam. We received the text in the afternoon, but the official results came out that evening. I slept earlier that day, when i woke up at around 10:00 in the evening my cell phone's inbox was full with messages, i even got a message from the people who i thought will never give me one. Unfortunately, i was ran out of credit that time so the following day, that's the time i thanked all those people. And i found out that three of my friends did pass the exam namely Mitch, Ehros, and Jordan. Unluckily, one of my good friend didn't make it but we're praying for her success.


After that, the Oath taking Ceremony was held at the Araneta Coliseum last October and i still kept my ticket on my treasure box. The registration for our license number took placed at November,after a month i received my license. Mitch and i started applying last week of November, we passed resumes' at the "Our lady of Mercy" in pulilan, and "BMMG" in Sta. Maria, where she was called for an interview and later on hired as a staff nurse,unfortunately, that hospital didn't call me but i was happy for my friend.


Last, December The Medical City called for an initial exam dated on January 7, 2008. There we're seventy plus who took the exam but only twelve passed the exam, unfortunately i did flop the exam, the exam was so difficult, i consider it as one of the most challenging exams i hurdled;At the same month, Ehros and i applied in numerous hospitals here in manila, to name a few,we went to Capitol Medical Center, Manila Doctor's, Lourdes hospital, and Cardinal Santos in Mandaluyong in just one day, so we had a trip in the whole metropolis.


After a month we received no response from all the hospitals we applied;It was so depressing, so many months of unemployment, with all the pressures out there the internal and the xternal asking, "why we're you still idle, stagnant and jobless. I talked to Ehros and some friends who suffered the same fate, and we all agree it was one of the lowest part of our lives or careers. But, God is good, He really does things in mysterious ways. When the time i was almost giving up, i received a text message from "Our Lady of Mercy" last February and i was scheduled for an interview and exam. At the end of that day,all sixteen of us who was called for the exam was hired as "trainee" or volunteers and started the day after. I gained new friends there that i will never forget, there's Sheryl, Gaynen, Candy. I even had great mentors like Ma'am Rei, Ynang and many more. It was my first service to my patients that's why i put my best foot forward.


After almost two months of training at Mercy and two areas of rotations, a better opportunity came.The St. Luke's Medical Center informed me that i passed their clinical exam, and i was on my way for the physical exam to joined the next batch of trainees. It was hard that time because i have to choose between the hospital who i learned to love or the the best hospital in town?! To cut the story short, i preferred SLMC and joined the NSET Batch 03-08, which opens a lot of doors for learning and opportunities. Furthermore, i gained lot of friends and still counting; On my third day of training Ma'am Rei informed me thru Fs that the chief nurse of Mercy was looking for me, she said that two days after i AWOL, they we're going to hire me;After all the screenings and learnings i had in SLMC, i have no remorse i chose this institution.

As i contemplating writing this entry, i remember that it was my father's dream for his "bunso" to be a nurse, when he was hospitalized at the Philippine Heart Center, and saw a nurse same as my built, with resemblance on my physical attributes he told my sister he would be happy seeing me as a Nurse. Though he died last 2002, January before my high school graduation, i know he's proud how far my career went, with all the achievements i had even if its small, still its an achievement; When i was in third year high school, i dreamt to became a nurse, and I'm proud to say "I'm living my dream, and I'm walking the path i aspired before".


That's why don't stop dreaming. Nothing is impossible. I may be a nurse but i'm just a few step towards my vision. I'm working now for my nclex exam, and glad to be newly hired associate of SLMC. Remember, always make your life Shine, to be the light and the guide of others...thanks, Go! Nurses.

My Old Poems composition

It was August 5, 2005, when i wrote this poem. Again it was a labor of love for my friend named Brix Vilda, who happens to be my board mate that time, although we had so many fond memories but things didn't work out the way i want it to be, because at that time he was committed with a common friend of ours. So here's the poem, I hope you like it.


"SERENDIPITY"

I may not be the one you want
I may not be the one you need
But i can't help myself wonder
" Why still You, my heart desire!"


I'm sorry if i feel this way
I'm sorry if i changed the game
But how can i help it?.
You're such a good man
And I'm vulnerable during those times


You don't have to react
You don't have to respond
Coz i know you're seeing someone
But I'll never be that someone...


I'm a broken person
I'm a scattered pieces
But i won't ask you to pick-up my pieces
Because you're picking someone Else's


It's time to wake up
It's time to think up
My dreams with you is wasted;
And all my hopes culminated
You'll never see my worth
And i can't wait for that time to work;
You have said "you'll never love me''
I understand, I'm just someone who has been
your pastime. :(

Just Random Thoughts

When i was watching TV awhile ago, i couldn't help but cried on a scene with the Korean telenovela entitled "Hello, My Lady", the scene was a guy surprised a girl he loves on her birthday, he arranged a birthday party for her, the most touching part was when the guy sang "SHE" with full admiration for the girl, just like the scene on my favorite movie "My Sassy Girl", when Gyun Wo surprised the girl during her class, brought her a long stem rose, while the girl even surprised him playing the piano on her recital with the song "Pachelbel Cannon"; And its really reminds me of my dream; before i was one of those people who aspire to become a millionaire, have my dream beach house or rest house in tagaytay, but as time goes by and as i matured things changed, even my dreams changed. I do believe that the only permanent thing in this world is change, life is dynamic; from a million dollar worth of dreams, mine changed into a simpler one,i just want to change my family's ways of living and as long as i can buy all my necessary things, I'm fine with it. But there's one dream that caused me to cry with those scenes I've mentioned, all my life i always wanted to have someone beside me, i always picture myself sitting on the passenger seat with that someone,cook for him, prepare his clothes pamper and take care of him, and i always wanted that someday someone will surprise me with those kinds of things just like those gentlemen did to their lady.I'll be the most happiest person if someone will dedicate, play the piano, do something sweet, or sing, "BE My Lady" or "She Will Be love", these songs really strikes me the most, being wanted and loved, admire and taking cared of. It shows that i am really a hopeless romantic type. I'm tired doing all the sacrifices for all the people i love, and i know i deserve a treat, everyone deserves a treat. I don't want to spread that i ain't blissful as a matter of fact i am, but there are times you will feel the emptiness, loneliness, or longings.

There were moments that life will uplift you, One time i was stunned that there really people who admire you though you're not a celebrity or a famous personality. i don't want to brag or something but i really appreciate when my friend told me that if there's one thing she's envious or want to trade in me, and that's my success in career, although i didn't consider now that I'm successful because I'm just halfway in my goals in life, but i do consider all my achievements as a success little by little, step by step. It really moves me that a certain part of my life that before doesn't matter for me, unknowingly, a thing that i should be proud of.

I know that the Lord above saved the best thing, the best person for me, that's why I'm not in a hurry, i just enjoying life, all the Ups and Downs, maybe one part of my life is successful which is my career and my love life is poor, but as many people would say career and love is not always balance there's one aspect that always suffer, but i have strong faith that soon the other aspect of my life will blossomed and flourished, so I'm saving forever and my love for that special someone and final words "the true meaning of fate is building a bridge of chance for the one you love". So, we have to work on it, it takes patience and a prayer. thanks for reading.

My Old Songs Composition

There are certain people who doesn't know i write poems and songs and even sketch; Whenever I'm depress or emotionally unstable that's the time i usually had a great output, there two songs composition of mine that's so dear to me, one i wrote three years ago if I'm not mistaken. so here's the song hope you like the lyrics.This song my inspiration was Mark Anthony Escanilla hope someday he will hear or read this song.

"My Heart Only Beats for You"

I'm Here all alone, after seein' you walking by
I don't know how to hide, the tears that begin to fall
But despite all the pain, the fact you can't convey
my heart kept pounding, though my world's breakin'

Chorus:
Hope you give me even a glance
able to see that I'm lonely
Hope you smile towards my way
Coz i do love you, and my heart only beats for you

Now I'm writin' this line, and all I'm thinkin' is you
Every time each moment passed, only makes me realized
that you are not mine, but for someone else
Would you stop me from crying, because your name I'm still screamin'

Bridge:
Coz it's hard to let go, when the feeling is true
Now i promised myself, only you i will share my life
share my life.

Wathcing UAAP at the Big Dome (Seeing Chris Tiu for the first time)

Last Sunday I watched UAAP at Studio 23 and found out that Ateneo's next game will be held at the Araneta Coliseum last August 21, right there and then I decided that I'm going to watched it myself, its time for me to see my crush, my so-called 'ideal man' you already know, its Chris. Then, last tuesday I had an agreement,with my friend "Tinay" now newly baptized as 'teenie' that she'd accompany me to the game.

And it was Thursday, early in the morning Teenie texted me just to informed me, that she can't come because her mother asked her to visit her grandmother, of course, family first before pleasure so I'd said It's OK! with me, i understood her reasons. Mid that morning my other co-trainee named Ron asked me to have our vaccination that was overdue for two months if I'm certain. I was ambivalent that time, If I would go to SLMC to have my vaccine or watched the game, then i decided since the game was scheduled at around 4:00pm, I could still catch the game if I want too. So, Ron and I met at around 2:00 at St. Luke's and proceeded to the billing and paid our vaccines, unluckily, I only had Hep B, because the Flu vaccine was out of stock. We finished at 2:45,I was hesitant If i will still go to watched because I had no companion seems cheap right?!, so desperate!lols,then Ron convinced me and persisted I should go, So my inner desire won.

I went there and arrived at 3:00, because this will be my first UAAP experienced and first time to see Chris Tiu so I decided to bought a patron ticket so I can see his face nearer. Luckily, at the side of the bench of the Blue Eagles where I landed, when I arrived the game between Adamson and UP were still ongoing so i watched it and realized that UP has some good looking players like Dela Victoria, while I was absorb by the game i found out that Chris' brother Charles Tiu was five-seats adjacent in front of me, so much resemblance with the brothers. Nonetheless, it was 3:45 so the Blue Eagle's players entered I was so absorbed texting when the crowd screamed, then I looked up and saw that Chris was now in the room, I was so nervous, palpitating, I couldn't catch my breath, what an awesome view, omg! I was bewilderwed, he is so dead gorgeous, then I realized He's really my Ideal Man. During the game I was lucky I'm near at their bench, so I ogled at him a trillion,zillion times. It was a hard and rough game for the team, the UE Red Warriors we're so COMPETITIVE, they raised against each other well.

During the fourth round, it was the crucial point for the Ateneo, UE was ahead with 3 points and the time left was 19 seconds, when suddenly Chris made a major turnover for the game, he made this magnificent 3-point shot that made the game tied. I was so happy about that, during overtime Chris made again a 3-point and a lay-up shots that made the Ateneo ahead, but he had an injury when the game was near to end.And the team won, gained the status of 10-1 at the UAAP. I was so happy seeing him for the first time, one hallmark of my life that i would never forget, i learned that if you want something; don't hesitate to do it, achieve it. Hopefully, I have more encounter with MR. Christopher John Alandy-Dy Tiu, my hero. thanks for reading.

"Watching My ideal guy playing at the UAAP"

It's an open book to all the people who knows me that I consider Chris Tiu as my ultimate 'Ideal Man'. For the reason that physically he possessed all the qualities I'm looking for a person, tall, fair, lean and most of all 'chinky-eyed'.

Personality wise, he's so smart, a good conversationalist, business minded, and based on what I heard, they say that he's kind too, he's multi-faceted, there so many hats he wears,including being the captain ball of Ateneo Blue Eagles, an SK chairman, a business man, a co-host of "Pinoy Records", also soon to host "Ripley's Believe it or not.

Enough of all the introduction, I'm so happy watching UAAP awhile ago, Ateneo vs. Adamson, though Chris didn't carried the game, it really enticed me to watched him on TV, by the way I read on some blogs that his ideal girl is chinky-eyed and petite, that sure excludes me because I do have almond-shaped eyes, but i know Chris is happy with his longtime girlfriend named Clarrise Ong, just sharing my thoughts, hope it has a substance. Thanks for reading my blog.
