i've been thinking a lot about that surprise thingy on Valentine's Day...haha!!
hmmmm.. The place must be romantic-but-not-that-too-cheesy, so that we can also have fun at the same time. I don't wanna have an uptight ambience. What matters most is that we'll enjoy the night and feel like it's July 28, 2006 again.=)
hmmmm... Tiendesitas?
Eastwood? Haha! no tinge of sweetness coz we're here everyday...
Then, a dessert fix at Jack's Loft=)
Then........i'll give him the UFC shirt... haha!
My plan is very simple compared to some but i know that Aj is so 'mababaw' rin naman, he'll definitely appreciate it!

at valentine's day..=)
It's the love month once again and true to its spirit, i am planning for a surprise dinner for Aj. (i feel like I'm the guy in the relationship) haha!!!
The fact is, when we had Matthew and began to live as a family, the things that we usually do before were now gone. Yes, we still have that unconditional love but the mushy things (i.e dating, eat-outs, explore new places) that we used to do is by far, depleting. Our focus is on Mat, our jobs, daily budgets and the things associated with a starting family. So, as to rekindle the flame again, I am taking charge.=)
Take him to a nice resto and give him a UFC shirt=) hahaha!!!
By far, those are the only ideas i have...=)

when i grow old...
When I grow old, i want to have that sense of individuality that i need.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the best thing a man can attain is his Self-Actualization.
A while ago, an employee asked me, " What would you feel if i move to another company?"
Kuya R**, is working in our company for 2 years now. Already in his late 30's, he's not yet married and no plans of settling down. According to his officemates, he has his crazy side, I am a witness to his delusions of grandeur. He was donned in his faded sweatshirt, a jeans that look years old and a comfy sneakers. I first saw him during our Christmas party with an out-of-this world dance moves. And from then on, I always joked him on it.
He was in the dilemma that if he won't get his promotion, he'll moved out. Yes, he's not getting any younger and at his age, he should be in a position superior to where he is now.
I am not stressing anymore to describe him. But i learned a lot to the people i met and talked to. Back when i was still in school, i thought that these problems can only be seen in movies but it really happens in real life.
Welcome to the real world!!!
Back at home, there was a news about a father who was fired from work, killed his wife and 5 of his children. Sometimes, we think that those are just petty problems. But with the global crisis taking its toll on us, anything must be taken of seriously.
I am working because I want to reshape my life. Aj and I want to stand on our own and prove to the rest of the world that we can make it.
I am working because I have a purpose and goals in life which i want to attain starting now.
I want to discover who I really am so that when I get old, I can proudly say that i haven't stagnate my skills.
And most importantly, I want to succeed in the battle called LIFE.

a peek on the future...
I've just finished reading a blog entry from Mister Mom, as he called himself. Instead of the father working in the office, providing all the family needs, he is a stay-at-home husband who does all the house chores and all the baby works. From the society's perspective, the Daddy's in our life is the boss while our moms bake, clean, and basically take care of everything. But due to hard times, both parents go to work to have both ends meet. Apparently, our children are left with yaya's which personalities we barely knew. Growing up, their first word might be "ya-ya" instead of "ma-ma" or "da-da". Even when they need something, it is still their yaya's they search for.
With that situation slightly occuring to me (cause I know that eventually, Matthew will grow up), i made a pact to myself that i will work as much as I can now that I'm still young. Then put up a Day CAre Center when i reach my 30's and the rest will follow. I want to be the one to prepare baon for Matthew when he starts school, I want to be there when he takes his first day, fetch him, be the first to know what happened in class and just simply being there when he rants and raves.
i definitely think that when we surround our children with love, encouragement and guidance, they will apply that on their lives until they grow up and eventually be successful.
And i will surely be present on stage when it's MAtthew's turn to receive his Cum Laude Award.=)

that show!
Aj was very happy last night. He caught up with the 2hour re runs of UFC. To tell everyone my honest opinion on that, i got to love UFC in a way. Aj introduced me on that mixed martial arts savvy show which i think, truly contradicts the idea of what the 'sport' might be like. I just can't stay on my seat when the Hawaiian fighter, Bj Penn, takes on the lead. He has no p
ity on anyone he faces. Think about: elbowing his opponent's head, letting it all gushed out blood ( and mOoOooOre grotesque scenes, i may say!)...and if he weren't satisfied, he would tie his hard held hands on the other man's neck to totally cut off his oxygen supply!!! And 1 thing that makes me truly believe in his eminence, HE CAN MAKE A MAN CRY!!! woah! so how's that so far?!

another letter
Dear Matthew,
Hi baby! you're asleep right now. I have written you a lot of letters now, probably when you grow up, we'll read them together over a cup of coffee. I dont know what will you be then. Most of the time, the thing that keeps me busy is thinking what will you be when you grow up. I want you to be the best in everything that you do, and sometimes i tell myself that if i expect you to be the best, I will either pressure you or keep pushing you to your limits. That's the problem with parents today, the more that they want their children to excel, the more they are blinded on their child's true potential. And I don't want to be that way. I want you to grow on your own but at the same time, Mommy and Daddy are guiding you. I promise to be there when you have presentations at school, if you are running for the Student Council, running your own track in any sports or just simply a Parent Teacher meeting. Matthew baby, i wont be busy enough to support you in all the trials and failures in your life. We are with you...=)
and right now you are crying for milk, i gotta go get you one! ilove you MOKI!!!
Love,
Mommy

at Regalla towers, i met Zyra
Zyra is Aj's workmate in Priceline. She's 24 years old, a part time reporter in ABS- CBN, who has a boyfriend in the same corporation, loves to travel, passionate about SEx And The City,wants to live in a place of her own, dreams of shopping in New York someday, doesn't want to get married yet and wants to make love in the right place and in the right time. WE have one more thing in common though, WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT WE WANT IN LIFE. Zyra at 24 still deciphers the ultimate answer and I, at 21, also do.
That struck me one day when I am observing people run their own lives. Sure it is, i won't and definitely will not work in a bank or any job that requires computation and those stuffs. IN everyday of my life, just walking to work, i ponder if I'll be landing a job like the saleslady in BAYO just accross our office plaza,or will i be stepping on the counter asking what coffee would they like to order in Starbucks, will I be the Nurse seating right next to me in the Fx that i took or the Operations Manager in our company who loves to put people down?
I think the answer lies deep within me. But for now, i still have that long road to take.....
AHHHH....the complexities of life...

year of the Ok oX!!
Another mind boggling year to look forward to..But first, this is the portrait of my family, my happy family.=) Sometimes, i tend to ponder on how young we had Matthew and as he grows up, he'll be just like one of our buddies.haha!!! love the thought of it!! But thinking of the future itself, it is definitely vague and who knows what will happen next?!
Hakunamatata!!
it means no worries for the rest of the day (inspired by Pumba)
