Pussywillows, Cattails

This mellow song, by Kenny Rankin, is dedicated to my past love affairs...

Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rainbows in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses


Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses


Slanted rays and colored days, stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheatbins, hazy afternoons
Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses


Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires a-blazin'
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

Blog Hibernation

Hi to those who are reading and/or following my blog! How have you been doing?

Well, if you ask me, I think it's quite obvious that I have been busy in the past month or so, as I haven;t written anything after my last blog which was way before Christmas.

Oh well, I am glad I have the chance and the moment to recall my blogsite before the month of January ends.

Indeed, I have been very busy ever since I started my new job (I love the job!) and so I haven't got enough time to post my day-to-day experiences here, and perhaps this might continue in the many weeks to come as I am still adjusting my time management. And so, I call this a "hibernation period" for my blog. I try to do my best to adjust with my new career and my day to day scheds so that I will be able to find ample time once again to write my experiences in my beloved blog.

Take care everyone, til next time and God bless us all!=)

All I Want for Christmas is an iPhone 4S!

Whew! Christmas is just around the corner, with only less than two weeks before the world will celebrate the birth of Jesus. As the days come nearer and nearer, I cannot deny the excitement that I feel, not only because the whole family will get to eat our Noche Buena once again at 12 midnight of December 25, but also because of the gifts that I might be receiving from friends and family.

Although there might be lots of things that I have written down in my Christmas wishlist, topping the list is the one thins which I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for few months now. That is none other than the world's number one smartphone - the iPhone 4S!

If you are someone who knows much about me, well then, you wouldn't wonder why the iPhone 4S is the number one thing on my wishlist, 'coz I am a tech geek (well, not totally though, but I always love gadgets!). Wishing to own one might be too good to be true, as the iPhone is really, really expensive (at least here in the Philippines), and perhaps nobody might afford to buy me one as a gift this Christmas, nonetheless, this is still the number one thing I want to have before this year ends!

By the way, for those who do not know yet the features of the iPhone 4S, it sports a dual-core A5 chip (which is also present in the current Apple iPad 2), and all-new 8-megapixel camera that can shoot 1080p high-def video, the iOS5 and iCloud, and the highly sophisticated virtual assistant - Siri!

the iPhone 4S - the most amazing iPhone yet!

Good news though, the iPhone 4S will be coming to the Philippines this Friday, December 16, 2011, and I am so excited for its arrival! It will be carried by the two major telcos here in the country - Smart and Globe, so perhaps I can acquire one myself from either of these carriers, only if I sign in on a two-year postpaid plan. Hopefully, I can earn enough money before Christmas or before the year ends, so that if nobody can give me the iPhone 4S as a gift, it would be fine, as I may be able to avail of a two-year contract, and grab myself the smartphone that I have always been waiting and eager to have my hands on!

Answered Prayer...

Whew! I'm busy, that I almost forgot to thank the lord for granting my wish and for not failing my prayers. I am already in my third night of working for my new online job right now, and I am so happy to be hired for this position - SEO Marketing and Product Development Personnel. By the job title alone, I like the sound of it, and even in just three days yet at work I am already starting to love the job, especially that it involves Search Engine Optimization which is one of the skills I am good at, aside from article writing. The employer, Miki Somos, is good to me, and the pay is good as well. I am so happy that god has given me this job, which is perfectly the job I have been asking for!

Now, I have another prayer to God, and that is to continue giving me more wisdom and strength to be able to work for this job in a long-term basis. This is the first job that I will be working at night, which was actually my preference at the first place, so as to avoid any disturbance at home and so that I can work smoothly and continuously. I pray to God that He will continue to guide me as I work each night, and to help me in whatever problems I may encounter. As I have already seen many, many prayers that God has granted me before, I am sure that with this prayer, He will never fail me.

Amen.

In doubt

I appreciate all the blessings I receive from God each day, be it in a surprise or something that I have been expecting. At this moment, I am caught in a dilemma about something important I have been asking God for, and it is about having a decent and stable job. Although I have had already worked in several online jobs, from article writing to customer support representative, I still haven't been successful enough to last even at least two months in any of those online jobs. So, I made up my mind of trying to apply in local companies here in the city, though I know the fact that I will most probably earn lower than those online jobs can offer me. Right now, I am still currently working in an online job as a blogger. I liked the job at first, but as days do by. it seemed too much for me to write 15 blogs each day about topics which I don't even have any idea. While I'm currently employed in this job, I'm currently waiting for my second interview in a BPO company, for which I applied as an SEO Specialist. My initial interview went fine and I get to see the company's facility and it's a nice workplace in there. As expected, the salary there was lesser than I expected, but that;s fine for me.

Okay, so I'll get to my point now. I am in doubt as to which company I would work for a long-term, while I'm busy working in my online job, at the back of my mind, I'm thinking that working in a company is also nice as I can acquire certain benefits I cannot earn in online jobs. Also, I work home-based in an online job, so it wouldn't be much of a hassle for me as I don't need to be caught up in a traffic jam going to work and thus, no getting late. Both job opportunities have their own advantages and disadvantages against each other. I never forgot that somehow, I am still blessed enough to be in a situation like this, choosing for two great opportunities in life that God has given me. It's just that, it's quite hard to choose, because in the end, it boils down as to my preference, and whatever opportunity I prefer, their is somehow a sacrifice that I need to undertake. I do hope and pray to God I choose for the better, I hope to get the better.

Rolling in the Deep

Here's a song which is one of those that gives me the Last Song Syndrome. This song, "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele is about moving on from a heartbreak in the past and having the courage to let go of the it, although the scars will always remind one of the sad love story. This song is ironic to the song "Someone like you", a very sad song also by Adele.

"Rolling In The Deep"

Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

Happy Halloween!

These photos were taken at Gaisano City Mall, Cagayan de Oro City sometime in early October. Me and my friend, Roselyn, went to the Toy's department and thought of trying out the cool and creepy Halloween masks. Aside from the masks, there were also spooky Halloween costumes for young and old, perfect for the Holloween parties!
