Do what you have to do

Sarah Mclachlan's
Do what you have to do

Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do ...
And I have the sense to recognize that
I dont know how to let you go
Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
Im ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I dont know how
To let you go
I dont know how
To let you go
A glowing ember
Burning hot
Burning slow
Deep within Im shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I cant be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I cant be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have sense to recognize but
I dont know how to let you go
I dont know how to let you go
I dont know how to let you go

Something to ponder upon

Love

There is always someone in the world waiting for someone else, whether in the middle of the desert or in the heart of some big city. And when these two people’s paths cross and their eyes meet, the whole of the past and the whole of the future lose all importance, and there only exists that moment and that incredible certainty that everything under the Sun was written by the very same Hand. The Hand that awakens Love and creates a sister soul for everyone who works, rests and seeks treasures under the Sun. Were it not for this, the dreams of the human race would make no sense.

Rant about competitors (Quaipo secrets)

YES! I'm the daughter of one of the owners of the shop in Hidalgo in Quaipo Manila...and I hate what our competitor is doing...and I can't even rant about what he is doing in forums because people will think I'm being biased (naninira) or something...oh come on...why would I care to do that? The only problem is we can't seem to answer back his doings (he kept telling his customers bad things about our store while he gets away tricking his customers)

He is none other than RAMON of Mayer's Photo!! Infamous for his rudeness...and yet people think they are good if they were able to get good offers from him.....

I don't care if he read this or not...I just want to tell other people what he does!!

He gives the CHEAPEST offer, gives so much freebies, but heck, people don't know he changes his lenses from CDSC to grey or the generic batteries and sell the original separately. Of course, some would say proof?? Do people check?? No! Because the they really know the difference...I'm not saying they are ignorant....not all are professional photograhers...a lot are newbies....thus..maybe tricked...and though out of 10 people who bought, if ever two returns and complains, he would apologize and say "oh maybe my sales demo gave you the wrong one" and give them the original! See?? He can easily appease people with that...not all people are smart consumers...they will still come back and think..."yea maybe he made a mistake, not sadya or something, plus he gave us freebies...blah blah blah" He is forgiven and his tricks repeated.

There are a lot of avid buyers of Mayer, they still go back to him, of course thinking "mura e!!?!?!" and yet TRUE BUSINESS HONESTY is not implemented. Seldom do they complain thinking yea...MISTAKE LANG!!?! Yea right!?!?! PINAPALITAN KASI AGAD...well not knowing niloko na sila in the first place that's why he swap you a new one!

I couldn't complain...I know the business, I know the tricks but we do not do that. I keep telling my parents, don't follow his style...it's not honest...and we do not fight back to his level....he keep saying we do not have warranty etc etc and people believe?!? am i frustrated? Actually yes...but couldn't seem to fight back directly...because I seem to be a sore competitor!!

And all I do is rant in my blog, with very few traffic...with few readers who might read this....well..I hope I can warn other people......

Christmas season

A day more...I'm almost home! yey!!!!!!!!
I think I should stop shopping already...but I was not shopping selfishly..almost all are gifts!
Off to Orchard later...I think I've scanned almost all malls..I'm actually sick of seeing sale....It's still expensive for me.

Broken promises

Ok..just last blog entry, I promised to myself not to drink anymore and yet..to much temptation so I was once again on a high last week's company party. I do not actually remember everything I have said so I do hope they also forgot what weird things I was saying..
This week is kind of slow..of course because I do not know why I am doing some never ending reports...I hate to rant. So I stop here about work.
I believe I'm drifting, floating...I need direction. Let me think it over the weekend. And the possibility of finding the Happy Pizza in Cambodia will be a blast (I think I have tendencies of an addict hihi)..either way..I know I have friends around to look after me and vice versa!

A time to reflect and see the wonder of ancient history....Angkor Wat, here I come!

Remnants

What's with the title? I guess I was thinking about all those drinks I've been lavishly pouring down my throat...I think I was too game with anything so I would likely be seen getting high first in any occasion I tried detoxing...with 6 oranges! It was refreshing but I think it wasn't enough.

Well, drinking makes us feel so high then anything goes for everybody which is fun! Unless you're the only one acting all childish/wild/uncontrollable.....Hearing laughter, giggling, a whole lot of people swirling around seems so fine that time..you don't see judging eyes..just people having fun.

We were using the Magic Sing again last night, but I dread the hoarseness of my voice came out too loud..I wish there were more song...all those oldie songs were a staple the whole night and we had no choice. Roxette, Take that, Aerosmith, Queens...the list goes on.

I need to set a limit. I will pretend that I've reached the limit already so people won't bother to give/challenge me for some more...I think I had enough to last me a lifetime. My motto these days..DETOX!!

Poetic Memory

"The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful. Love begins at the point when a woman [man] enters her [his] first word into our poetic memory."- Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera)

There's this one interesting phrase that I left an impression on me. I read it a few times before when I read Milan Kundera's book. I don't know how to decipher why it meant so much. I woke up one day and remembered some things about the past..l. A few moments, a few memories, a few seconds...but it lasted in my mind almost forever.

Maybe at that split second, these special moments had touched something inside of me that triggered to open a space in my mind that holds on to these memories. Those that linger, those that make it seem like yesterday...

Of all the millions of seconds that passed by my life, I get to recall a few special moments...how interesting right? The feeling that lingered during that time...initiated a momental bliss...where there is no space and time.
