God Bless the Broken Road

Posted by aysa on • 1 comments • Read Full Article




I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

The Beauty of Visayas

Me and some of my friends have been planning this trip earlier this year since we are able to avail a lower fare from Cebu Pacific. It was a long wait but it's worth waiting for. 14th of November was the date to explore the beautiful places of Bohol and Cebu, two places in one trip - tiring isn't it, but it was worth it, stayed at Panglao Tropical Villas - the house is so nice, so cozy.

Let the pictures tell the story:

Day 1: Bohol City Tour
Loboc River, Chocolate Hills, Man-made Forest,
Hanging Bridge and of course Tarsier

Day 2: Beach Time
Dolphin watching, Snorkeling, Island Hopping - failed :(
and explore Bohol Beach Club

Day 3: Adventure @ Cebu
Last stop @ Bohol Blood Compact before going to Cebu.
Magellan's Cross, Basilica Minore del Santo Niño,
Taoist Temple & SkyWalk

Returned to Manila supposed to be by 5:30pm but the plane arrived late so our flight was delayed by an hour. I had fun - i mean super fun, thanks everyone 'til our next getaway.

Overflowing

there are times when you can't contain things you are feeling...
then time comes when you just let it flow, like an overflowing water in a glass...
that's when you let go... ☺

Find Yourself

Posted by aysa on • 2 comments • Read Full Article

When you find yourself in some far off place
and it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself...

When you make new friends in a brand new town
and you start to think about settling down
The things that would have been lost on you
are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself

Well you go through life
so sure of where you're heading
And you wind up lost
and its the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way, its really just as well
because you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself.

When you meet the one, that you've been waiting for
and she's everything, that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else
And then you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself

We you go through life
so sure of where we're headed
And we wind up lost
and its the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way, its really just as well
Because you find yourself,
Yeah thats when you find yourself.

chubby-ng maliit na singkit - someone's description to this young lady. Here's my own description though: snobbish looking but a lady with a big heart encapsulated in a small body...hihihi.. Someone who is always ready to give comfort and love to those she valued the most. A person full of positive energy in her nerves that continues to follow to the people around her, you might see her in an anguish moment but in little time you'll see her laughing as if there's no tomorrow.. A she always say "smile like there's no tomorrow". She's Aimee, my teammate and seatmate but most especially my good friend. Soon, you'll be million miles away, the friendship will forever be cherished and I'll be looking forward in see you again - pagcitizen ka na dun bisitahin mo na kami..I know that you'll always be there - a ym away - but your presence is something I will surely miss..*a big smile and hug for you, good-luck on your journey..*

Sonnet Spellsinger

Posted by aysa on • 0 comments • Read Full Article

T'is said that dreams are real and visions true;
Of life yet to come and history done.
Tales of song and silence, of rogues and bards,
Of legends and lore, a thousand and one.

Her audience asks: "Can what is said be true?
Wandering storyteller, tell your tale;
Share thine story, pray tell: Give us thy clue.
We'll toss coins, one round, your choice: Rum or ale!"

"The fabled spellsinger truly exists,"
The lovely half-elfin maiden began.
"Her charms, her wits - oh, dare no man resists.
Her bardic voice makes even foes to fan."

"Be it known: She walks amongst us today.
In fact, this day is the lady's birthday."

It's been a month of not writing anything here, there a lot of this happened I just didn't get the chance to write then down...

♥ Summer began and ended but wasn't able to write anything about how I had a boring summer..Not much of a beach getaways..Anyways, "Goodbye Hotness and Welcome Wetness" since rainy days are back...

♥ I've been missing the game "Dungeons and Dragons" for a while... Thank God, we got the chance of playing the game again mid May...The adventure ended well, but can't remember the kind nor name of monster we defeated, what's important is that we got our game bonding session with my brothers. We also watched the show in Pagcor called Wanders, this is an awesome show - very captivating.

♥ Had much of an old friends get together the past months but still missing most of them...I wish we can see each other more often... Seeing them again brings much happiness...

♥ A lot of girl bonding slash talks with my ate/s - both my sister by blood and my sisters by heart - in the past weeks..very fun, very relaxing and most specially a lot of life lessons shared, got a lot of things to learn from them.. and ate Irene and I together with some of our friends from LOM got the chance to attended the Chrism Mass last Holy Week.

♥ Most specially, something happened that could surely change me for the rest of my life...I didn't expect it nor thought of it even once but maybe it was His will and not mine...I know I have to learn a lot of thing in fulfilling this but I am very much sure He'd be with my all the way...I'm looking forward for the little to bigger steps I have to take.. ♥☺

Good Customer Service

Posted by aysa on • 1 comments • Read Full Article

"Good customer service is all about bringing customers back. And about sending them away happy – happy enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others, who may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turn become repeat customers. - Susan Ward"

It's always a good experience when a business offers a good service to their customer. Those who have encountered it will never fail to share it to the people around them. This is probably the reason why people love Krispy Kreme not yet considering very delicious doughnut of course.

Recently, a friend of mine celebrated his birthday, me and my other friends decide to surprise him with his favorite Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled Doughnut from Krispy Kreme instead of the common cake with a candle. Since one of us said that the doughnut can be personalize just like putting a message in a cake, so we did try it out. It was just a common service that any pastries store can offer but maybe I wasn't expecting much that when I saw them designing the doughnut with a smile and putting all their effort on it, that simply show what kind of service they are willing to give their customer. The one who was designing the doughnut even apologize by saying "pacencya na mam wala na po akong maisip na design" without him knowing me nd my friend is actually happy with design he made, so I just smiled and said "no that was great job". And they even offer for a balloon and a party hat since they knew the doughnut is for a birthday party.

the birthday boy with the balloon and party hat

A week after we had a despidida for one of my ate from LOM and guess what did try again Krispy Kreme's service this time we transact with Krispy Krime @ Boni High Street, and just like in the first encounter with the krispy kreme @ Megamall, another good service was offered.

Kudos to Krispy Kreme!!!

... Lumilipas ang panahon
… Bakit Kailangang lumipas?

Sumisinghap-singhap
Dulot ng usok na tila ulap
Binabagtas ang daanan
Di alam ang patutunguhan

Sukbit ang kanyang bag
Sa katawang laman ay isip at pusong hungkag
Di pansin ang paligid
Kahit singaw ng matinding init

Batid ang ngiti sa kanyang labi
Tila sa isip ay may hinahabi
Tila may sinamsambit
Na mumunting tinig

Paulit-ulit ang kanyang sinasambit
Animo’y himnong nakakaakit
Hindi ko ito maulinig
‘Ka’ ang una kong nadinig

Patuloy ang kanyang paglakad
Sa matarik at kalsadang patuloy na lumalapad
‘Ibig’ and sunod kong narinig
Mga pantig na animo’y malambing na himig

Patuloy parin ang pagbagtas
Walang kamalay malay na may tumalalas
Tumalilis… Kay Bilis…
Nahagip… Kay Bilis… O Kay Bilis…

Lupang dating nilalakaran
Siya na ngayon nyang hihimlayan
Nakatingin sa langit… kanyang sinambit
Sa Wakas… Ka… Ibig… an.

Inspiring Words...

Posted by aysa on • 0 comments • Read Full Article

This man inspired a lot of people and I should say I'm one of those he had and continue to inspire, not just by his music but also the words of wisdom he never failed to share in every chance he can share it. Maybe he made it his life mission to inspire others in any way he can and his been doing it so well. In one of his concert he had said these words that truly gave an impact maybe not just to me but to others as well, let me share them with you:

"Its not reaching the mountain top that makes a success. Its the climbing, its the falling, its the slipping and trying again. The valleys are needed to appreciate the greater heights..."

I wasn’t able to be part of the concert, I accidentally heard a medley of his songs from the concert that includes this message and heard it just in time when I needed words like those. Thank You and May you continue to inspire Mr. Pure Energy, Gary V!

a choice to make...

There are things that happened in our lives the way we want them, which gives us happiness. However, there are things happens on the other way around which sometimes leads to unhappiness. All of this is part if the life we all live in, the challenge is how we are going to face things...

I can say whatever is happening in this life I am living right now, I am Happy not because things happen the way I wanted it to be but because I choose to be happy...

Stay happy! ☺

Quotes galing kay Bob Ong

Posted by aysa on • 1 comments • Read Full Article

"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pagtinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."

"Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."

"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawakan ng iba. "

"Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."

"Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."

"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."

"Kung maghihintay ka nang ng lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."
"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."

"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."

"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka. Kaya quits lang."

"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?"

"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."

"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"

"nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the- blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures."

"Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka."

"ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko "

"hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?"

"hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan. "

"Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan."

"Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher. (Haaay, sarap!)."

"Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili."

"Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?"

"Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan...""

"Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa’yo – ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao."

"Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko."
"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras."

"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."
"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."

"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."

"...madaming teacher sa labas ng eskwelahan. desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. "

"dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung 'di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit.sobrang luri. kung alam lang 'yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela."

"iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala"

just sharing, I like it probably many would do...☺

Sonnet Starlight

Posted by aysa on • 0 comments • Read Full Article

Sonnet Starlight is something I've been keeping for almost 5 years.

Raysan, Raysan, where is the midnight sun?
-- the fiery, golden sphere in Heaven...
Where do you think did the sun go and run?
I count the days -- there are only seven...

Raysan, Raysan, where is the noontime moon?
-- the shinning, silvery sphere up above...
And what do you think? Will it come back soon?
I yearn for the moon. I yearn for its love...

Raysan, Raysan, where are the twilight stars?
-- shimmering angels up in the sky...
Forget not all these -- for it is no farce.
Waiting under starless nights, I ask "Why?"

Lady Raysan, Dawnbringer, where are you?
My hope is fading, I need your smile, too...

by ShaneRadiant 2003

That's it! Most of the time you also need to give a smile to yourself and not just the people around us...
keep smiling!☺
