it ain't easy

Falling in love is never easy. Why can't it be as simple as testing an application and reporting a buy, or programming a module and deploying it to production?

Why do two people have to go to charades with all these so called emotions? Why not just be straight to the point and say "I love you"? It puzzles me to point of total uncertainty.

I hope that they teach this to us in class back at first grade :)

Touched by an Angel

I went "skype" online last Thursday and chatted with one of my best REWSS friends named Mike. We had this usual "kamusta-mabuti" conversations. But then I told him that I am quite happy, he asked me again "Annie, kamusta ka talaga? yung totoo?" I was so touched by his sincerity.

I remembered that he is one of the guys I am with at REWSS during those good and not-so-good times. And I really came to love these people, they are my friends =)

The usual, I told him stories... He is like a brother... Then he reminded me again... And I said that I have already learned. There is one thing that I found really nice in our conversation:

Him: meron ako friend na nasira ang career dahil sa lovelife, nasaktan kasi ng sobra eh
Me: Oo nga, minsan hindi maiiwasan yun. So kamusta naman ung friend mo na yun ngayon?
Him: Ayun, nakahanap ng mas magandang trabaho hehehe
Me: Wow! Galing naman nun! Sino ba yun?
Him: Ikaw :)

He said that he is quite glad to hear that I am happy now because according to him, every time he sees me or talks to me, I look so hurt and lonely and he said that I don't deserve it. Such a nice guy :)

Glad

I decided that it is time to have my hair back to how it was used to be. After a year of having a long hair, I had it cut yesterday... I am so glad I did. =)

QA Assoc.

When I was walking down Market St. here at Philly, an idea suddenly comes to my mind. I think I want to organize a sort of QA association in the Philippines. An association where QAs could gather, share their experiences, ideas and have fun together as well...

I think it would be so wonderful =)

I don't remember anymore

I wanna thank God for all my blessings. He is indeed a GOOD GOD. Always in HIS perfect timing. I never thought that I would manage to get over something really really painful.

I am currently here at Philadelphia for a Macquarie project. Well, there is no other Filipino in the office and the people are really not that hospitable but I will survive, I know I will...

I have a very funny experience though. When they gave me my temporary pass/ID, they misspelled my nick name. So instead of "Annie" they spelled it as "Annia". Hahah! I found it really amusing. The weirdest part is, I felt absolutely nothing. Even now, I can view old photos of him or even photos of him with her without feeling a thing... I guess, I really had moved on.

As what the song says, "I remember the boy but I don't remember the feeling anymore."

Jollibee!!!

This video makes me really happy while I am here at Philly... Panalo talaga ang Jabee na itoh! Hahaha!!!

Old Wine

It is easy to make friends, but it is very difficult to maintain a true friendship. Only if one is really lucky, one will get a trusted friend. In the 21st century, it is hard to find a trusted friend, who stands by you. People claim to be friendly, but real friendship is time tested.

Old friends are like old wine. They mature with age. Wine improves with age if kept in the right conditions and checked regularly and when uncorked the taste is magnificent giving you a warm and satisfying feeling.
