Human as we are, we are all busy worrying over petty things when we could get killed any moment by accident. Wondering what would life be without this and that. We are working painstakingly in hope for a brighter future. Did it by any chance occur to you that everything you have and every dream you've been trying to fulfill might all be gone in just a split second?

Morning is my favorite time of the day. I just love mornings! I love it when the morning sun touches my face. Everything seems to be perfect in the morning, so much to look forward to, and with renewed hope. And because of that, it makes it impossible to anticipate that something terrible might happen along the way.

One beautiful morning, as I sat so comfortably in a multicab on my way to work, while waiting for it to be full with passengers, everything was perfect and peaceful. When the cab was finally ready to hit the road, little did we know that we were just inches ahead from what seemed like a 12-wheeler truck. Whether our driver didn't notice the truck approaching or he did, but refused to give way, I didn't know. Even if the truck's driver had step on the break, it was too late. Passengers were now screaming in terror as the truck dragged us forward and in a fraction of a second, we were slammed at the wall in the side of the road. The next thing I knew, the multicab suddenly came to a halt and we were being pulled out by the bystanders. Miraculously, nobody got badly hurt. It took me quite a while to sink in what had just happened. I couldn't believe that I had just met an accident and got out of it unscathed.

It could happen to anyone, anywhere and anytime. It was somehow a life-changing experience, I must say. You will then realize that life is too short indeed. It gives you every reason to celebrate life. It makes you appreciate even more everything that you have right now.

Having to experience such accident and have been given a second chance in life, I must be grateful to God.

When some of my friends at Eversun invited me to join them for swimming at Villa de Mercedes Club House, I refused the invitation for the reason that I was busy and felt tired at that time. And when I saw their pictures taken from there, I was so determined to visit that place to see and experience it myself. And so I did! With only 7 of us made it there, time hadn't been wasted because we were really had had the time of our life. I never really expected it to be that fun but thanks to them for making that a worthwhile experience.


When I was started working at Agents of Value, I’d been so blind about the company policy. I really thought that all agents were allowed to access other sites not related to their work including Friendster. Of course, it’s not! What was I thinking then? And so I signed in to friendster frequently without hesitation. Never cared whoever saw to whatever was on my monitor. The hell I care! I even had enjoyed myself with yahoo music knowing that our HR was sitting right behind me. Great! I kept doing it over and over again each day. Until such time, two of my colleagues were caught to have accessing friendster during working hours and it prompted the admin to announce that sites like friendster and yahoo music are strictly prohibited during working hours. Funny thing was I felt guilty after the announcement. I was like “am I the one to blame?” hahaha! Thank goodness that it didn’t take me long to know who among us had been caught by the admin. I felt so safe and relieved. Well of course, I was still guilty about it only that I wasn’t the one being caught. And then the next thing I knew, the said sites had been blocked.

Not long after Friendster comes the Facebook. As I checked my email one afternoon out of boredom, I received a lot of invitations on Facebook in my inbox. As far as I can remember I just accepted those invitations and then, that’s it. I didn’t know its purpose and how it is suppose to be used. I didn’t pay much interest about it and I found it so boring. I only engaged myself to facebook only this year as it is becoming popular to least at Agents of Value. I know it is popularly used worldwide but I am only accepting friends to the people I know especially my officemates. They are the ones I know who are very much active on it. Facebook seems to have a special role in strengthening the bond among us, agents. We are able to share our thoughts through updating our status. And we are free to comment to whatever we are posting whether it may be serious or not. The same goes with our publicized pictures; posted results from different applications and games. There we are able to communicate with each other silently.


P.S. will soon create a post that will be entitled close to addiction as a continuation of friendsbook

On Tuesday, I had gone back to work after the long wonderful weekend. I was quite preoccupied with things again but it was more about my task. I still had audios needed to finish with. Plus, I still couldn't get over with the joy from the company activity last monday which I'll be posting later when I'm no longer busy and lazy.hehe. For now, I'm still busy choosing the good shots from the pictures taken during the event just to have a copy of my own.

I don't know what's with yesterday. The atmosphere seemed different. I didn't have much energy and didn't feel like working. I just went through with the usual except that I joined my dayshift group for lunch. I finished my task within six hours and my client hadn't send more audios for me to work on for the remaining 2 hours of the shift.

Uhmmm... am still indebted to my officemates in their food business. I was suppose to pay yesterday but there seems to be a miscalculation so that's why. I wanted to make it paid already but well... I just couldn't. Hopefully I'll be able to have it fully paid before the shift ends.

Anyway, I think that's all for now. I'll try to be back as soon as I finish my task for today.

Behind the silence over the past two weeks was a sort of not-so-ordinary days. Hanging out with friends to unwind once in a while especially right after receiving the salary became a usual thing for us. Sticking with the original plan, a certain group of photographers share their common passion in photography and pursued their photoshoot at Eden Nature Park last August 9, 2008. Having Raquel and Aubrey (friends) as their models. It was approximately 6 hour photoshoot that it became exhausting to everyone.

Meanwhile, there were four of us who joined the group to give assistance to our model friends and to do a "business" of our own at the same time. We strolled around Eden, tried something that the place could offer and please ourselves. We had our buffet lunch together in which we were not satisfied for it wasn't really worth it. Then we had our zipline experience. Glad I was able to overcome my fear of heights, wasn't I?

There were little issues regarding that particular event that can't be avoided most of the time. Things like time that was not being followed (delays), transportation problem, and other things like that. Not a big deal, though. And considering the fact that the group were able to do their purpose of going there and that the model seemed to like the result of the photos, it turned out to be a success for everyone, I must say.

For a whole week that followed, I was drowned with thoughts on my personal dealings. And had finally found a way to escape.


"photography is truth"

Ok. There's nothing interesting to blab about today. Just simply blogging for no reason. Some of my friends have their own story to tell about their experiences for this week. Looks like they were having a great time. Its written all over their faces. To share a little, a close friend of mine just met the whole family of her special someone and I learned that it turned out nice and flattering. The family treated her nicely and made her feel welcome to their family. Well, thats good. I'm happy for her. She really deserves to be treated that way.

It seems to me that a lot of things and activities that I'll be looking forward to such as birthday celebrations and weekend activities with friends, to name a few. But as for today, or should I say as for the rest of this week, there's nothing in particular that I am preparing myself for and most probably I just go through with the same old routine.

I think that's all for now. I need to finish my task on time coz I'll be logging out at exactly 5pm as much as possible. There are three things I need to accomplish before I go home.

Ciao!
