sana makasama ako kahit sa lamay lamang.

we'll pray for you soul girl.

I am SYKES!!!

Paano ko nga ba sisimulan? Hmmm....

Actually, may scheduled account interview ako sa Sykes ng 1pm. Ayun, saktong 1pm ako nakadating at late na kasi ako nagsikilos sa bahay. Haha. Pero ok lang. Wait ako ng 30mins bago tawagin na yung name ko. Natawag na rin sa wakas. Account interview process na. Blah blah blah. Basta, mahabang kwento ito. Nakakalokang mga tanong pero nasagot ko naman ng tama. Hehe! Akala ko nga failed ako eh... Nagulat na lang ako na pinababalik ako ng 5pm for Job Offer na. Yehey! Pasado pala ako..

2pm ng natapos yung interview. So, kumain muna ako sa Shang-Rila kasi yun ang pinakamalapit na mall sa Sykes, OSMA Bldg. 3hrs ako maghihintay. Ano naman ang pwede magawa??? Hmmm... Kaya ayun, napabili ako ng movie ticket ng di oras. Yes, nanuod ako ng Jumper mag-isa. Kala ko maappreciate ko siya at magagandahan ako. Hindi pala. Shit talaga. Maganda yung SFX niya kaya lang parang kulang pa rin sa dating eh. Hehe. Malalaman mo na 1:35 lang pala ang screening time ya. Di talaga sulit yung binayad ko. Sana JUNO na lang pinanuod ko.

4:40pm natapos yung movie kaya balik na ako ulit ng Sykes. 4:50pm ako nakablik sa Sykes. Hintay na lang ako na tatawagin ako. Ayun, tinawag na ako at may kasabay akong dalawa. Hindi ko natanong yung name nila eh kahit pare-pareho kami ng magiging account. Nga pala, Office Depot Account yung inoffer sa akin at pabor sa akin yung site kasi sa Quezon Ave. lang siya. Galing talaga! Contract signing na at nakakatamad talaga magfill-up ng mga requirements. Ang dami pala. Haha. Pero ok lang. At least my work na ako. Haha! Kaya lang, March 3 pa ako magstatart. At dating ni Macky yun. Hehe!

Natapos na siguro ako mga 6:30pm doon kasi dami pang chikahan eh. Hehe!

Kaya ngayon, pwede ko na masabi sa sarili ko na, "I am SYKES!!!"

May next time pa naman eh...

Sa wakas, tapos na ang Araw ng mga Puso. Nasa bahay lang ako ng buong araw. Nakatunganga lang. Nuod ng tv, check e-mails, update ng mga profiles at kumain. In short, bored na bored ako sa bahay. Wala talaga ako magawa kasi wala pa naman ako trabaho. Hehe!

Pero, bago ang lahat, salamat pala sa mga friendships ko na bumati ng Happy Valentine's Day or Happy Hearts Day! Paggising ko nga ng 12nn eh 50+ new messages na pala. Haha. Oo, late na ako nagising kasi 4:30am na ako dumating ng bahay at nagkaroon kami ng Pre-Valentine celebration ng mga badet kong friends sa Barko sa may Kalayaan Ave., QC. Galing pa ako ng account interview ko sa Sykes. Tapos diretso na ako sa inuman. Haha. Pero kaunting inuman lan, mga tatlong roung ng San Mig Light. Maya-maya, kumanta yung tatlo kong friends. Haha. Saya talaga. Tapos nag-Palawan 2 kami after. Hayun, may tama na ako ng nakauwi ako.

Habang nanunuod ako ng tv, sa bawat channel na ilipat ko eh puro mushy films at napapanuod ko. Kakainis, talagang tinapat nila sa araw na ito. Mapalokal na film eh mushy. Pinagtiyagaan ko na nga lang panuorin eh. Buti na lang may cartoons at anime akong inaabangan at pinapanuod ko ulit kahit ilang beses ko ng napanuod. Di pa rin ako nagsasawa. I'm 22 na, pero ang hilig ko pa rin daw manuod ng cartoons at anime. Yan lagi ang nirereklamo ng dad ko sa akin lalo na kapag ako na ang may hawak ng remote control sa sala. Hello, may tv naman sila sa kwarto nila, doon siya manuod. Hehe!

Kahit wala akong ka-date ng araw na ito eh ok lang. May next time pa naman eh. Haha! At least, nakapagpahinga ako after ng inuman galore namin.

Sometimes you are IN!. Sometimes you are OUT!

I don't know how to start my blog entry.

February 14 is Valentine's Day.

For those people who have special someone, they are excited to celebrate it. Reservations at restaurants, buying gifts for their loved ones, and reserving a room at any motel like Sogo. Hehe! But for those who are single, they hate this day. They don't want to be left alone. Seeing couples in the mall, restaurants or anywhere with there boquet of roses, heart-shaped balloons, teddy bears and even BLUE MAGIC paperbags. It didn't stop there. Yet, they call it as "SINGLE AWARENESS MONTH!" and I agree with them.

I'm not single yet I feel like I am single right now. My special someone is not here right now. I want to experience the feeling of Valentine's Day but I can't. It was 8 yrs ago when I celebrated this occassion with someone else. I gave her a large pillow of Hello Kitty. It was an addition to her collection. I don't know what's going to happen right now.

Supposed to be, I have a scheduled group date tonight. Unfortunately, it was cancelled. The other one is not feeling well, the other one was so busy. The other one is not replying and the other one, I don't know. Hehe! So, I am stuck here right now, prison in my own room with nothing else to do. Maybe, I'll just wait for my other single friends to text me if they have plans. Only, if they have plans. but I am not expecting.

Oh well, that's life and like what Heidi Klum always says in her show, Project Runway, "Sometimes you are in. Sometimes you are out!" And I agree with her.

Too much for the Valentine's Day Blues. I am just being emotional right now. It is so hard that your special someone is having a vacation. Not here in the Philippines, but in US.

Surely, life goes on. =)

The History of Valentine's Day

http://www.history.com/minisites/valentine/viewPage?pageId=882

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial -- which probably occurred around 270 A.D -- others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.

The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D. The Roman 'lottery' system for romantic pairing was deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February -- Valentine's Day -- should be a day for romance. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.

In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.

According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)

Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.

Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap".

Special thanks to American Greetings.
