January, 2008:

Overnight

Am still contemplating … weighing the odds of this possible overnight escapade of mine. *sigh* The thing is I have a class on Saturday and am not sure what my sched would be the next week. But then I dont want to miss this laag and I havent been out for the longest time. Grrr …

Am confused :( huhuhu

Best Place to Get Prescription Glasses

The nature of our work makes us more prone to wearing glasses. When I started getting headaches and my sight started to blur I went to see my doctor right away. I didn’t like it at first because I thought it wasn’t cool but I made a Great Discovery: Zenni Optical offers a wide selection of prescription glasses. I’m not surprised that a number of people are using the Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses at all. Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical; I’m wearing mine now.

Confused With My Schedule

I didn’t choose to be scheduled under flex meaning that the days off are different every week. My sched has always been core meaning that I get the same off every week and that’s how I want it to stay. But for whatever reason, most of us have been given a flex schedule huhuhu I almost missed work last night because I thought it was my restday hahai

Pink Watches

Am one of those people who doesn’t like wearing a watch, its not that I don’t mind the time coz I do but I usually check the time on my cellphone.  But when I came across these luxury watches, whew! it made me want one. Heck looking at all three I can’t even make up my mind on which one to select. Hehehe wishful thinking as if I can afford one. Made by Chopard these watches are highly known for their classic elegance and durability, intended for ladies of all ages and to be worn for all occasions.

6AM – 2PM

That’s the schedule of our training for TR, am not sure if I should be happy with that … am quite confused with how I feel about the whole move. Somehow it doesn’t seem right and I have no choice but to go along with it. Either that or I resign … *sigh* I dread for monday to come.

It Comes in 3′s

I have heard people say that things come in 3′s, either good or bad. I have not thought of it for a very long time but the death of 2 of Hollywood personalities in the same month is making me superstitious. Brad Renfro, (25) who you would remember as Huck Finn in the movie Tom and Huck; died last January 15, 08 for causes that have not been clearly explained. Then there was the death of Heath Ledger, (28) who passed away last January 22, 08. That’s strike 2 in only a month. Will there be another one before February starts? Or is it before the year ends? Oh God forbid we lose another extraordinary talent :(

The Magic of Billiards

My old man and my younger brother have not always seen eye to eye. Maybe it’s because my brother is in his teen years and we all know that’s a difficult stage. This is the age when we get rebellious and do the exact opposite of what our parents tell us, for the purpose of riling them. However, if you put those two together inside a billiard hall, you won’t see a father and son but two buddies of the same age instead. I have seen how they bonded and how close they have gotten because of their mutual love for the game. They go to billiard tournaments together and when my brother won his first championship at the district playoffs; my dad’s face shone with so much pride and joy as if he won the match himself. Those were really good times.

When I get homesick and I miss them, I play the online pool. I’m not very good at the actual game but I can give anyone a run for their money with the online version. As a matter of fact, I have beaten my brother twice already.

Mighty Ducks

I’m sure you all remember how cute Joshua Jackson was as a kid when he played one of the characters in the “Mighty Ducks” movie. If you have not seen this classic. I’m sure you will at least think that the title sounds familiar. It’s one of those inspiring movies that show how the right reasons, faith, teamwork, love, etc..can make dreams come true. There’s this line that I really like and I’ll share a snippet.

   “When It’s impossible and everybody thinks it can’t be done, Ducks fly together”

My Cash Emergency

I remember when I got into a cash emergency and what it felt like. A friend consoled me and said that everyone gets to face their zero hour at some point in their lives. I was not literally zero but I needed more than what I got inside my wallet and payday was still in two weeks. It is during these times that Personal loans become life savers. I applied, got approved in no time and went to withdraw the cash at the nearest ATM. The convenience is fantastic!

Girl Power Award

The site has been given this girl power award from Soreal.  Thanks gurl … you ROCK!!

Girl Power
- young women’s scope for own decisions
- the ability of or opportunity for women to make decisions for themselves
and shape their own lives

a self-reliant attitude among girls and young women manifested in ambition,
assertiveness and individualism

We’ve received so many awards already, its hard to keep track on all of them but this … is truly an empowering one. Will pass this on to all the female bloggers in our blogroll for their strength and positivity in life. GIRLS RULE!!

Scared

A bit of a change … *sigh*, me and wafa are having totally separate interests now, that seeing us together is basically a thing of the past. Our working schedule are just so opposite its like the north and the south pole, am busy with school, she’s busy with work, dada and her own blog. Am glad that finally she can now relate to the whole blogging madness and is now able to understand those sleepless nights that I had and still have. What scares me though is that both of us now have our own lil corner in cyberspace that this blog would go down the drain. When we started this out we were under the impression that both of us will write about our escapades, when both of us were single, free and uncomplicated. I never thought things would change and that’s silly of me, am not blaming anything about the change its just that it scares me and it saddens me knowing things will never be like the way it was before, not even close.

I rant and I rave but I do it on my own lil pink corner, why? Because just as I’ve thought this space here was s’pose to be all about our “laags” together … therefore the domain name mgalaagan.com …. The many plans that we’ve had, the many places we intend to go were all like a dream, somehow looking at old photos made me ask if all of them were for real.

School has taken my time, its my passion to learn though it’s tedious at times, but I love it. Pretty much you can say am preoccupied, *sigh* … am scared of what might become of this space here when both of us are following totally separate paths.

Rainy days and Mondays

Just like the song, rainy days and mondays make me wanna curl up in bed and hide under the sheets >sigh< Can I just call in sick later? I wish! >sigh again< oh well maybe something will turn up later that will cahnge my mood. Gotta much, later guys ^_^

A Fine Valentine

Valentines day is just around the corner and I already have something special planned for my guy. It’s going to be the first of our many Valentines together as a couple so I’m going to make it extra special for both of us. I’m thinking scented candles, our music softly playing on the background and that fine lingerie that I have been eyeing just for the occassion. That should be enough to fill up his senses.

Gas That Kills

A methane gas explosion is one of those horrific scenes that I would rather just see in movies but would never dream of witnessing in real life. These terrible accidents can be prevented though if we determine the location of leaks that serve as the passage. Methane gas detectors are the tools used to accomplish this dangerous task so we don’t have to put ourselves in great danger just to pinpoint the correct location a leak.

Sleep Posting

Guess where I’m at? Yes of course I’m in front of the computer writing this post but which computer? Well not at home coz I have shift now, so I’m blogging at the office coz I’m so sleepy hehe Oh I just wish we can blog anywhere and anytime. Isn’t that just the ultimate blogger dream hehe oh dear, I’m blabbering again! But seriously, who knows? Maybe blogging might just heal the world^_^

Baby Boy by Big Brovaz

From the day that I saw you
I knew that we would pursue
Cause the chemistry
we felt that day
Felt so real, and so true
Looking back on a year
we spent together
How it’s been, what
we went through
Although we’ve had our
little ups and downs
We’ve still pulled through

Baby girl you’re my
world my everything
I wanna lace you with
diamonds and every ring
Give you everything you
dream and fantasize
Cause you can tell me
that you love me
Looking in my eyes
You keep it real with me,
I keep it real with you
You keep on loving me,
I’ll keep on loving you
Keep doing what you do,
I feel your whole aura
And I can’t wait to hook up
again tomorrow baby – what

[Chorus]

My love for you will never end
You’ll always be a part of me
As long as time keeps
on passing by
You’ll always be my baby boy.

Everytime I look at you,
I can’t believe
I’ve found a love so true (and)
I took my time to put
my trust in you
I must admit it was so hard to do
And every minute that I
spend with you
You make me believe I
have nothing to loose and
Deep down I always knew
that you would be mine

Do you believe in destiny
Because I got a funny feeling
this was meant to be
Without you I’d be lost,
I need you next to me
Preferably in the house full
of luxuries and little kids
From day one I was sprung,
knew you was gonna be one
Cause my heart spoke for the
very first time in a long while
And every time you smile, I can see us walking up the aisle with you
carrying my child C’mon

[Chorus]

My love for you will never end
You’ll always be a part of me
As long as time keeps
on passing by
You’ll always be my baby boy

If you were to go, I don’t know
You’re the only one who
sweeps me off my feet
Makes my soul go weak
The only one who makes
my heart wanna beat and I,
I could never live without you
You know that what I feel
has to be true
Cause you’re my, my sweet love

Ever since the first time,
that I looked into your eyes
I knew that you waz
gonna be mine
Feeling you from the inside,
when you’re not by my side
You’re the only girl
that’s on my mind
I never knew a love like
this, a love so strong
A vision so picture perfect
it could never be wrong
Along the way, you’re gonna
see you belong with Jay
I might have to marry you
one day baby eh..

[Chorus / Outro]

So Emo … Unbelievable Strength

In the neighborhood where my friend Josh grew up he said drugs, weeds and whatever you call it is rampant … even before he started high school he already smoked by the time he finished high school he was what people call a drug addict. From syrups, marijuanas and cocaine … you name it he’s tried it … the sad thing about it is he knew what’s wrong with him but he can’t seem to stop. No, in his own words, he doesn’t have the strength to stop … he cannot deny the strong craving … so day in day out he did everything he can … stealing … robbery … everything just so he can buy whatever he needs to buy to satisfy his craving. He has grown thin, was never able to enroll for college, sunken eyes and cheeks. No longer the cute guy next door, but all that changed after 4 years of misery … at the age of 23 he was admitted for drug treatment somewhere in Malibu. He’s aunt said a therapist suggested they visit http://www.4rehabilitation.com and there they got the information they need for Josh and his treatment. The location, our support, he’s will to overcome it … made the treatment smooth sailing.

Now we have a totally reformed Josh, healthier than he was 4 years ago, happier than he ever was. He’s gone back to painting and arts … and to writing too, the staff at the local drug rehab center has been very understanding and kind … making the place an easy environment for him. Can’t wait to see him when he’s treatment’s done … after all the pain he has gone through its high time for him to be with us … the people who cared and loved him the most.

Can’t wait for you to come home bro …

Why Silver

If we gather all the metals in the world and rank each according to its value and use, there is no doubt that silver is going to be in the top five. History itself bears witness to the several unique attribute of this metal and how until today it has remained one of the favorite monetary metals. It has grown more popular than its counterparts simply because of its usefulness especially as an industrial asset. Aside from also being used as a material for jewelries, it is being utilized in health care products because of its proven antibacterial qualities. With all that and so much more, who would not want to buy it?

Additional Security

I lost my credit card!!!! Was in Starbucks Ayala earlier then was looking for a new phone (the one I bought last friday I sold to Ching, don’t like it anymore), now when my feet grew tired with all the walking and my arms numb with the paper bag am bringing, I went to Citibank to pay (Mitchy commented once why I pay them more than twice in a month) ’twas then I realized that I don’t have my card with me, I have my wallet which contains my money but I lost my card holder. Good thing I had my atm card for my pay and my two savings atm card in another wallet I left at home. So it’s my credit card, and my two debit cards. Grrrr … in the States they have this product called Walletlock from Lifelock wherein clients who are suffering from lost or stolen wallets can just make one single phone call to a Lifelock specialist who would do all the phone calls in having all the cards and other documents canceled and replaced. Ain’t that nice? With my case I had to call three banks, repeat the details three times which was draining and I dunno time consuming. So now I have to wait 7 to 10 working days for them to deliver my new cards. Comparing the LifeLock promotion codes, they seem to be running a variety of subscription, dunno if such a company exist in my location and I don’t think they are running this service worldwide. It’d be added security I think and a hassle saver. *sigh* We ought to have Lifelock Promo Codes available here in our country and offers ought to be sent via email.

PPP

Saw this advertiser online wherein every webmaster gets to earn from every visitor, they call the program PPP or Pay Per Play, somehow similar with the paid per post programs out there. There are no restrictions to placing these ads on free web hosting servers, it can also run simultaneously with Google Adsense, can be distributed among blog networks such as blogger. Currently PPP is targeted with English advertisements but they’re working on expanding it right now, the advertisements are also targeted with the contents of your site or blog. So even if you’re using free servers you can still earn from every visitor that your site has. The more traffic your site has the more you’re income will be.

Black : Emo

Bought a new phone just today or like just 30 minutes ago to be exact. I sold my walkman phone to bukie then I purchased a china phone the ones that are like PDA’s, touch screen and which has television on them, after two days of using it I realized I didnt like it so I sold it to Ching Ching, now I bought another walkman phone (and God forbid … but I hope I wont lose interest in this in a span of a week!!!) Its black, boulevard black to be exact, just as my other walkman phone is black.

Black is beautiful and EMO, nyahahaha kinda represents how dark my soul is.

Trinkets

 

I guess it is normal for women to love shining, shimmering, splendid trinkets and to of course wish they have the latest most beautiful fineries to add to their collection. It is because of this that jewelries are popularly considered as safe gifts to go for whenever you’re unsure of what to give a woman. From an emerald earring to a diamond necklace down to a gold ankletand a toe ring; you will never run out of ideas. What a perfect way to show you care and to turn a frown upside down.

Nothing Compares To You

It's been seven hours and  fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms round every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl you better try to have fun
no matter what you do
but he's a fool

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went away
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

nothing compares
nothing compares to you 

nothing compares
nothing compares to you 

nothing compares
nothing compares to you

Pickup Covers

I still can’t help but be awed at how guys in general know vehicles like girls know shoes. I am yet to meet a woman who knows at least half of the facts about cars, autos and trucks as boys do. Just yesterday on our way to work, my female colleague and I were admiring how sleek looking the parked cars were and we got lost with the names.

What captured our fancy was the huge, black pickup with a matching black tonneau cover; of course my friend and I didn’t really know that until I asked the owner who was unloading a few boxes what the cover is called. The truck itself looked very intimidating but it was the cover that got us all curious.

In that short conversation we learned that these covers are what truck owners use to cover and secure their pickup bed. There are several varieties of styles but the most common is the roll-up and the most basic type is made from cloth or vinyl. Today, fiberglass or hard plastic cover is becoming very popular because it has the best appearance and it is more secure.

Planning…

Ok so I’m currently working on a plan for our 8th monthsay on the 1st of Feb and I already got ideas coming in but I still won’t wirte about it because if I do then he will find out and it won’t be a surprise anymore, right?

The Stair Lift

I saw our old neighbor this morning going up some plight of stairs at such a slow pace and with so much difficulty that it broke my heart. It instantly made me wish she had a stair lift to make her life more convenient. With it she can comfortably climb up their second floor or any floor for that matter with no trouble and I don’t have to feel so bad again when I see her do it.

From Neste

One day Satan and Jesus were having a
conversation.

Satan had just departed
from the Garden of Eden, and he was
gloating and boasting.

“Yes, sir, I just caught
a World full of people down there. I
set me a trap and used a little bait.
I knew they couldn’t resist. Got ‘em
all!”

“What are you going to
do with them?” Jesus asked.

Satan replied, “Oh, I’m
gonna have fun! I’m gonna teach them
how to marry and divorce each other,
how to hate and abuse each other, how

to drink and smoke and curse. I’m
gonna teach them how to invent guns
and bombs and kill each other. I’m
really gonna have fun!”

“And what will you do
when you get done with them?” Jesus
asked.

“Oh, I’ll kill ‘em,”
Satan glared proudly.

“How much do you want
for them?” Jesus asked

“Oh, you don’t want
those people. They ain’t no good. See,

you’ll take them and they’ll just hate
you. They’ll spit on you, curse you
then kill you. You don’t want those
people!!”

“How much?” He asked
again.

Satan looked at Jesus
and sneered, “All your blood, tears,
and your life.”

Jesus said without
hesitation, “DONE!”

Then He paid the price.

- Isn’t it funny how
simple it is for people to trash God
and then wonder why the World’s going
to Hell?

- Isn’t it funny how
someone can say “I believe in God” but
still follow Satan?

- Isn’t it funny how you
can repost a thousand jokes through
bulletins and they spread like
wildfire, but when you start sending
bulletins regarding the Lord, people
think twice about sharing?

- Isn’t it funny how I
can be more worried about what other
people think of me than what God
thinks of me.

Knowlagent

How are you people? Just another boring day at work >sigh< If not for the new dress I got, work wouldve been meaningless. Doesn’t mean to sound so mean but it really is just boring here today. AS it is, I’m doing knowlagent but because I’m done with the exercises >tnx to mykertz< i’m blogging instead hehehe

Anyway, I kinda miss our prank caller Victor from RUssia hehe he was so annoying as in he kept calling 24/7 and he knows us by name. The guy doesn’t have a life, a breathing “L” is you ask us.

Ciao!

Love or Infatuation

“You can tell that it’s infatuation when you think that he’s as sexy as Paul Newman, as athletic as Pete Rose, as selfless and dedicated as Ralph Nader, as smart as John Kenneth Galbraith and as funny as Don Rickles. You can be reasonably sure that it’s love when you realize he’s actually about as sexy as Don Rickles, as athletic as Ralph Nader, as smart as Pete Rose, as funny as John Kenneth Galbraith and doesn’t resemble Paul Newman in any way–but you’ll stick with him anyway.” -Judith Viorst

(1) Do I treat the other person as a person or a thing?
If you go out with him/her because he/she is good looking (a “prize” to be with) or a way out (a ticket to the movies), that isn’t love.
(2) Would you chose to spend the evening alone with him/her if there were no kissing, no touching, and no sex?
If not, it isn’t love.
(3) Are the two of you at ease and as happy alone as you are with friends?
If you need other friends around to have a good time, it isn’t love.
(4) Do you get along?
If you fight and make up a lot, get hurt and jealous, tease and criticize one another, better be careful, it may not be love.
(5) Are you still interested in dating or secretly “messing around” with others?
If so, you aren’t in love.
(6) Can you be totally honest and open?
If either or both of you are selfish, insincere, feel confined, or unable to express feelings, be cautious.
(7) Are you realistic?
You should be able to admit possible future problems. If others (besides a parent) offend you by saying they are surprised you are still together, that you two seem so different, that they have doubts about your choice, better take a good look at this relationship.
(8) Is either of you much more of a taker than a giver?
If so, no matter how well you like that situation now, it may not last.
(9) Do you think of the partner as being a part of your whole life?
If so, and these dreams seem good, that is an indication of love.
