Letter for HH

I know i have caused you so much pain when we broke up. I also know that you love me so much and i am so thankful for that. I dont know how to thank you enough for all the love, care and understanding you have given me... which incidentally, i have taken for granted all these years.

I am sorry for everything ive done to hurt you. i know i have said many things that have caused you pain and im really, really sorry for that. my heart is weak when it comes to Him. i dont know why i always end up giving him a chance when i myself is not sure if what i feel for him is mutual. anyway, i dont want to talk about him anymore. i am trying my best to get over him. this time im really religiously serious about it.

i know i am not a perfect girlfriend. as a matter of fact, i have so many flaws and shortcomings as a girlfriend. i just hope that at least once in those three years we have spent together, you have felt that i did love you with all i can. i just wish you would stop doubting me about it. i know my best was not enough because you have loved me more and i was never really able to completely reciprocate that same amount of love you have given me.

now, i am not in the right position to put a verdict on our relationship. i have been thinking a lot and i realized, i cannot decide the destiny of our relationship because i was the one who ruined it in the first place. i want you to be the one to decide. and i want you to think about it as much as you can before making a decision. i have so many questions for you and your answers will pretty much determine the destiny of our relationship.

...will you still love me even if you know i am not yet over him?
...will you still accept me even if you know i can only love you as much as i can but doesnt guarantee it will be the same amount of love you can give?
...will you still love me even if i cannot give you a child?

we were together for three years and the least thing i would want to do is to hurt you again. i am so scared to hurt you again HH because i know you will never deserve to get hurt. i dont even know if i deserve somebody as good as you.

whatever happens, i will always be here for you HH. even if im not a girlfriend anymore, i will still remain to be your friend. i am just hoping that destiny will be kind to both of us.

THE GREATEST TEST OF TRUE LOVE

The most important, most critical component in successful loving is commitment. Not love. It's easy to love without commitment. People do it all the time. Easy to love, to give of oneself for a while. But commitment implies bonding in such a way that one promises to keep the fires of love burning indefinitely. It also means shutting one's heart to the possibility of loving another who might even be more attractive, even more lovable. Not easy. This is why solid commitments are not at all as common as we are led to believe. In fact, more often than not, I think that the commitment two lovers make are not equal. What I mean is that the commitment of one might be a whole lot more or a whole lot less than the partner's. We see it all the time. One loves more than the other and is more committed than the other. We have often seen lopsided love relationships where one partner is giving so much more to the relationship than the other. But writers and poets seem to always indicate that love isn't just a two-way street, but an equal two-way street. That hardly ever happens. It is impossible to determine exactly how much a man loves a woman or how much a woman cares for a man. Love cannot be measured and that can be a huge problem. You can love someone and tell him "I love you" and you're telling the truth. But how much do you love him? Enough to let him court you? Enough to marry him? Enough to die for him? THE GREATEST TEST OF TRUE LOVE is commitment. And the greatest indicator of deep love is deep commitment. I have heard people say all the right words, make all the right moves and pledge undying love, only to walk away weeks or months later. Were they in love? Sure they were. But not enough to allow them to hold strong in their love. Not enough to keep a commitment regardless of the pain. Lover gets this sinking feeling when there is a sense that one is more committed than the other. When one is giving a lot more than one is receiving. When one's love is a lot more solid than the creaky love of the partner. When a couple believe strongly that their commitment to each other is rock solid, there is a deep sense of security, a feeling that it's OK to give all because the gift of yourself is safe in the hands of the beloved. If, however, there is doubt or, even worse, the conviction that one is engaged in one-way giving, in a one-way commitment that is lopsided, then there is a tendency to pull back and not give as much. And when that happens, love begins to fade.

The One That Got Away

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will
come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.

You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life. If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

Survivor

Im back in the apartment. I was rushed to the hospital last monday because i was suffering from extreme stomach pain and i was vomitting. My ofcmates never thought that my condition was that worse. Anyways, chad brought me to the hospital. We had to transfer to the different hospitals three times because the hospitals earlier did not have facilities to cure my condition. The third hospital was Helsinki University Central Hospital. They admitted me there at around 2pm. They made me wait in the lobby because there were too many patients coming into the hospital. When they placed me in the ER, they placed dextrose in me and kept taking blood samples and urine sample. My arm really hurt. There were too much needles stuck in both my arms. The doctor told me that they're considering the possibility of appendicitis which means that they need to open me up and insert a tube with a camera to check what is causing my pain. Whatever my sickness was, i will still be under operation. Anyway, that same night around 11pm, i was rushed to the operating room. Nurses inserted several more needles in me. They also put me to sleep. That was the last thing i remembered before operation. I woke up at around 2am. My body was numb. All I wanted was to sleep. I tried to talk to the nurse and asked what my condition was. She said my right ovary was removed... not my appendix. The next morning, the doctor spoke to me, he said that my right ovary was swelling and it had twisted causing blood flow to stop. It had also had a cyst. So that's what was causing me so much pain.

Anyway, i was discharged from the hospital yesterday. kirt and chad picked me up from the hospital. I had some little problems with the bills but my office will take care of it. hopefully they will so i can bring home the documents from the hospital. I feel better now... except my stitches which are really awful! They used metal thing to stitch me up.. not the one that gets dissolved after sometime. so that means i need to get my stitches removed or else i will permanently alarm whenever i pass by a metal detector. hahaha..

I better take a rest now. HH has been so kind to text me everyday... he's worried about my condition. The architect on the other hand is nowhere to be found.... wala talagang kwenta! i just hate him for that.

Helsinki Adventure

It's been a tiring day for me. Kirt and I toured helsinki. Good thing i have a travel card so it's really cheap transferring from one mode of transpo to another. Yesterday we went to Hakaniemi to check out the store where kirt bought his trench coat. Then we went to Itakeskus, a big mall somewhere helsinki suburbs. I bought another pair of walking shoes... waaahhh!!! I feel guilty for buying another shoe! Anyway, it was on sale.. as in like 50% off that's why i bought it. I also bought kuya loi an esprit shirt. god i love this place! esprit stuff are all on sale! We ate ice cream at the helsinki central park. Banana chocolate is the best! =D

A while ago Kirt and I went to church. We took some pictures of the nearby park. We also went to the flea market. I bought some Suomi shirts there. The flea market is near the sea so we had the chance to check out the nice birds by the bay area. Kirt and I also went to the museum but we were not able to get in because it is closed. We had taken so much pictures today. Picture happy!

Last friday, the architect and I spoke with each other. we were discussing stuff about getting married. well... i am kinda worried. if ever he marries me, he'll ask me to quit my job and just be a housewife. how can i possibly do that? hayyy... i love my career but i also love him. i hope he changes his mind about me giving up my career. =(

Blue Ginger's Brain

It's been three days since I have been eating breakfast at Jaime's hotel. He's a Hilton Honors gold card holder so he gets lots of freebies in his hotel. Kirt and I ate like pigs every morning. hahaha.. I just love Scandic Continental's croissant. It's absolutely good!

I have been doing a lot of talking with jaime and kirt. They have been giving me a good idea on what my life will gonna be 10 years from now if i end up with the architect. They were giving me options on what my decision should be. If I end up marrying the architect, would I be able to accept his kids even if the kids doesnt accept me? What if he's not really serious about me because he did not even have a hard time winning me back... how hard can it be to chat while working right? there were lots of things that made me change my decision about the architect.

since the other day... the day we had an argument... he never spoken to me again. i just got a message from him in friendster that he is too tired to reply to my email and he badly needs rest after a long and tiring day and he hopes that i understand this. wtf is he trying to do??? if there's a contest for the most understanding person in this world, I might win the first place! well, i think everything is starting to be more clear to me now. i have fallen in love with someone who never gives me importance. i have spent my time and effort making him feel that i love him even if i wasnt getting anything in return. i feel so stupid! grrrr!

i learned something from jaime's sermons... the happiest people are those who are contented with what they have. Simple life gives happiness. Ignorance is bliss. If I want to be happy, I should be contented with what I have. I cant have everything in life and there is no way that I can please everybody. Maybe I should just be alone for a change so that I can clear my head first before going into another relationship.

the other day, I have spoken with saidie... guess what he's still in love with me. WTF! i just wish it was the architect who will love me like that. well... human likes something he cannot have. hayyy... when it rains, it pours and it causes floods. but when it's tigang... it's literally tigang! i just wish there will be a miracle or something.

im so tired from work. i was trying to work properly but my brain is not functioning properly as it should. buti na lang my bes tried to talk to me awhile ago. she did some sermon about the architect and getting married. she said that i should enjoy my single life first and just think about getting serious after 5 years. talk about another BI! hahaha. thank you bes!

i miss manila so badly. i have started to psyche myself about forgetting the architect. i just wish i could. if have fallen for him badly but ill make sure that he falls for me more badly. hahaha... bad BG!

WORDS WOMEN USE

******************************

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES

If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING

This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD

This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology!

And send it to your women friends to give them a good laugh!

Better Days

I had a tough day at work today. I was a victim again of unusual problems in the IIP Tool. hayyy... so unlucky!

I did something good today... i sent saidie a message in his friendster. he immediately replied! finally we were able to patch things up. nothing romantic of course!

I did it.. I sent someone an email telling him how i felt with our situation. i dont know if it's the right thing to do but i just hope it was. it's been a week and the last time he communicated with me was last tuesday i think. it wasnt easy for me to decide so i just ask him to decide for both of us. if he makes an effort to communicate, then that means he is serious about our relationship. if he doesnt make any effort, that means it's the end. at least i spared myself from the guilt of leaving someone again because he's the one who'se making a decision not me. actually, ive readied myself for any decision he's going to make. good luck to me. i hope everything goes well.

sleeping time! gudnyt!

I am confused! Help!

the past week was really crazy! ive done lots of things that i am not sure of. ive made decisions out of nowhere. hayyyy... now i dont know if i am regretting... hayyy life!

first, thursday last week i spoke with an ex. he was my last ex and we were together for couple of years. it was a long distance relationship though because he was in cebu. he is divorced, has 3 kids (10, 4, 3), an architect, businessman, hardworking and responsible dad. i dont know what's wrong with me that day... when he asked me back, i immediately said yes.. with no hesitations... with no questions asked. the problem is, i was in a relationship for 3 years with somebody else.

second, he demanded that i break up with the other guy. because i am madly, deeply and uberly in love with this guy, i gave up my 3year relationship with the other guy last sunday. that guy that i just gave up loves me so much. he'd give up everything just to win me back. he loves me more than he loves himself. and i cannot love him as much as he loves me. =( worse of all, i cant dare tell this new ex that i am into another relationship... which is the reason why i broke up with him.

third, my current bf.. the architect... has a kid. his daughter caught dengue. and so the responsible dad is to the rescue. he was so worried that he forgot all about me. im not a demanding person but he is really so deadma about me. not even an sms, a call, an email or even an offline msg. hayyy...

i feel confused. i am starting to think that i made the wrong decision of choosing the guy to spend my life with. i am in helsinki and both of them are in pinas. one in manila, one in cebu. i cant do anything. for 5 years, something in me kept wondering what if the architect and i are meant for each other. this was like a dream come true. but i cant say that i did not love guy#2. i loved him as much as i could but i can never love him as much as i have loved the architect. i just love him enough to keep the relationship going for 3 years. now, guy#2 always makes an effort to communicate with me.... unlike the architect who forgot all about me. guy#2 would text me everyday, wait for me to go online so we could chat. i can feel he really loves me and he'd do anything to win me back. i just feel sad that i dont want to let go of the architect yet. i am willing to wait for him until he finishes taking care of his sick daughter. but if he doesnt make any effort before i come home to manila by the end of august, ill let him go. ill go back to guy#2 who never failed to show me how much he loved me. i still feel guilty... but not as much as the few days that i was two-timing. call me segurista, maybe that's what i really am. i have so much love to give and i wanted to give it to somebody who doesnt have time for me?? c'mon... im not the martyr he met 5 years ago. ive changed... i dont want my time to go to waste. id rather spend it with someone who can appreciate my presence and the kind of love that i can give. im really confused... god please enlighten me. =(

Release 4 Review Results

I wasnt prepared for this day. I even woke up late this morning so I got to the office a bit late... 9am is a bit late for me though. Anyways, this afternoon I had a review meeting for our Release 4. My stupid Outlook did not warn me about the meeting. Well it usually pops up something to remind me about the meeting but this time it did not pop anything. I was 15mins late for the meeting. I even got lost when finding the meeting room. It was on the 4th floor which I have only visited once. I had to call hanna and ask her to guide my way in finding the meeting room. During the meeting, it was mentioned that my team has sent the erroneous package last week and they even had the document written about it. waaahhh!!! that was so rude of them! It was just one mistake that I can never take back! Well, too bad i can never turn back time. It's been done.. well at least I have learned something from it.

This week, I have learned something important... Never trust the package. A second, third and fourth test on the package will not hurt. Bad thing is that I have to learn it the hard way.

I really feel sad about it... I feel depressed and tensed. My two bosses know about it but our big boss back in Manila does have any idea about it. yikes! This matters to him a lot because my company is supposed to receive a bonus if we can deliver perfect packages all the time. This is so depressing!

I wish something good happens to me this week. The past weeks has been so bad for me. Problems and more problems about work just keeps coming. I know god would not give me problems that I cannot solve. But what the heck... I am a good person and I dont deserve this!

Cant resist to take this quiz

Complaints!

Finally I had the urge to write a blog again! Last week and this week has been really tough.

First, the sudden shutdown of the server instances of our application in the production environment. This was really bad since I had no idea why they were shutting down. People here in the Nokia office has been panicking. I am all alone and I have to give a solution to these panicking people. Not to mention they flooded my email with their complaints and the Project Manager called for an emergency meeting about this errors in the server. I can't help but panic too. For three straight days, they flooded my mailbox! Imagine how much emails I had to answer just to make them shutup. Well, I actually wished that their mailserver will fuckup so i'd stop receiving their mails. As last week ended, we found a solution to this matter and the PM praised me and my company for acting fast on this. My boss in manila even thanked me for doing a great job.

Second, just when I thought I can breathe normally now, another problem came... the deployment package last monday was not working properly. I tried looking at the logs but I didnt find anything. I was so clueless! As always, the client panicked again! The package was for the new version of the software in QA environment. Emails again was flooding but only less than that of lastweek's. Since I did not find anything wrong with the package, I just suggested to the client to redeploy our package.

Third, hanna was about to go home at 4pm. Manila team was also asking me to send an email about the changes in one of our documents then forward it to the client for reviewing. Hanna was also waiting for me to give her a solution to the erroneous package. waaahhh!!! what am I supposed to do first?! they both gave me deadlines at the same time and both are not easy to do. wtf do they think I am? wonderwoman or something?!

Fourth, when I got here in the office this morning, I was greeted by a not so good mail. The client has redeployed the package as I suggested yesterday but the errors were still the same. They were getting the same errors like yesterdays. And so I asked for Manila team's help since I was so clueless once again. They sent me another package... I had to test it first before I had it deployed to the client's QA. Just imagine how slow my pc is!? It took me hours to test a stupid package! Client panicking, computer so slow... get the picture?? When I got the new package from manila and tested it, I had to make a very sincere apologetic email to the client. Waaahhhh! as if it was my fault that the package that was sent to me earlier was fucked up.

Fifth, the client was happy that I finally corrected the error that appeared since Monday. The problem now is we have this quality assurance guarantee to the client. it is either we get this percentage of bonus if we deliver good stuff or not get it at all. It seems that after this fucked up release, we wont be getting that bonus anymore?! my boss will surely be so mad about this.

Sixth, Im so damn tired and tensed the past week. I hope this panicking and problems stop coming out while im alone here. This is too much for an experience. Both client and my bosses has been praising me for a job well done but it isnt enough to make my work a little bit easier. It's not my fault to be workaholic, take my work seriously and being organization savvy. I just hope destiny doesnt take advantage of these qualities of mine! I badly need a break!!!
