gracie’s blog

its been awhile since i posted anything in this space. well, honestly… i don’t know what to post. there’s so many things i want to talk about. but i don’t know if its worth posting here. so i stopped (although the payment for this site doesn’t stop, lol!). until now. figured that i’m paying for this. might as well write anything i want. there is so much i want to do. but so limited time. and it seems that i am addicted to sleeping LOL!

now if i had the time, what would i do. hmmm… i would take that long overdue boxing sessions that i so much wanted, so i can jab away my flabs. i would also want to go to china to get my boxes of stuff back to the philipppines. then i would schedule my time to go surfing at last! spend some quiet time at the beach listening to the waves lapping the shores. just being still and lost in my own thoughts. no laptops, no tickets, no service request and no databases…

i have not written much in my blog since christmas. i had this sudden pang of “katamaran”. it was like i was so hyper, time was running so fast that i can only stand and watch. too much procrastination on my part. but i think things are going slow down again. after three weeks of being a “titser” at the new office, i can breath again. happy na ako! no more trainings to conduct! i dare not to do it again. well, unless my boss orders me out to do it again. there is so much yet to do. i have this tendency to think in parallel, like some background processes running like crazy in my mind. the outcome is that i always get frantic.

so ano ang bago sa bagong taon? except for the new work. i’ve gotten myself a couple of toys for a couple of days until i let them go again. san ba tayo magsisimula? hmmm… sa SE 1i. it was good at first. pero there was nothing exceptional about it. same old UIQ 3.0 interface. like my previous SE P900 or SE M600i. 3G internet was quite stable. pero para wala lang. di ako naexcite sa kanya. mas gusto ko pa rin yung M600i ko dati. kahit walang camera, the tactile feel of the qwerty keyboard was better. maybe not. maybe its just me. then move on tayo sa Nokia 6300. dito ako amazed sa QVGA screen. ang ganda! and i do mean na maganda! i have never seen a nokia with a screen like that (until i saw my best friends 6120). madali lang i-setup ang internet connection. trouble is, the unit heats up so easily. the battery drains much faster than usual because of the screen. i wouldn’t want to let it go but my dear friend needed a fone so sa kanya napunta… moving on i got a samsung u700 because of its HSDPA capability. twas nice and slim. but it was too slim for me to decently hold it. and with the touch sensitive buttons, i always end up calling people by accident. nakaka ubos ng load. so i ended up trading it for an SE W900i (since i am getting another fone for the office and that i needed the dough anyway). the W900i packs a whopping 470mb of phone memory and a cheap MS Duo memory card slot. audio was excellent as always but i got tired of its size, too thick. add the fact that its not A2DP capable, so i ended up swapping it for a SE W880i. perfect! the phone is thin but not too thin for my hands, working A2DP, 3G capable, a decent battery life. not to mention a good (but not exceptional screen). i think i’m keeping this, along with my softbank x01ht. problem is, pano na pag dumating ang 6500 slide? oh, choices choices!

gotta go peeps! until next chikahan!

2007 is almost over. it has been such rollercoaster year for me. imagine starting your year in the hospital, getting scr@wed by your supposed better (or less better) half and a st@pid guy, moving back to the PH to the suprising weather, jaw-dropping MRT queue (that reaches the middle of EDSA road) and the pains of moving into a new neighborhood/house.

thinking back at everything that has happened, i only have on conclusion. that God is still a part of my life, guiding me through all these trying times in my life. even though i’m stupid enough not to go to church as often as i should or pray religiously everyday of my life. He has religiously guided me this year, when i was as lost and depressed and was walking blindly like a zombie. when everything was beyond my comprehension, i cried my heart out, trusted Him, followed Him even though the road was full of thorns and my whole body was raw, bleeding and aching. at the end of everything was full understanding and peace. He knew that the person I was with would just cause me pain in the long run, that there is someone wonderful meant to be for me. and that after all this pain is just pure bliss. at the end of it all, everything turned out all right. and i could not remember the time when i was as happy as i am now.

the road maybe long, winding and painful. but what matters is that at the end of the road is peace.

i wish everybody a merry christmas and a peaceful new year!
