Life can seem unbearable at times, but don't let it keep you down. Meditate on God's goodness, talk to Him, and know that He hears you. When life knocks you to your knees, you're in a good position to pray.

Accomplished
Wahoo! I'm so happy! I've made a layout that's 100% done by me! Natutuwa ko para sa sarili ko kasi meron na akong matatawag na "akin", sarili kong gawa, buong buo. Haha! Ang saya saya ko talaga! (OA ka na)
That's also the reason why I'm not posting anything these past few days. Subsob ako dito sa layout na ginagawa ko that I don't even feel the time passing. Ganun ako kapag may ginagawa. It's up now. The layout I made is for my officemate, arnold, panglalaki. Masculine na masculine ang dating, hehehe.
Simple lang ang layout na ginawa ko actually. I love simplicity. Though I could have put a lot of things here in my blog, I'm not putting anything. Siguro for a while, ite-testing ko, kaya lang, ayoko ng masyado matagal magload ang page ko kaya inaalis ko din. Masaya ako kapag nakakita ako ng maraming graphics, gumagalaw, tumutunog, but not in my blog. Wala lang. Masgusto ko lang talaga yung simple lang.
Sa ngayon, may mga nangyayaring hindi naman hindi maganda, pero siguro, masyado lang akong nabibigla sa dami ng changes, lalo na sa trabaho. Wala pa ko sa mood mag-post ng tungkol dun, pero kung gusto nyong magkaroon ng idea, may ilang officemates na ako na nagblog ng kanilang mga saloobin. Ang mga pangalan nila eh nasa links list ko lang. Pero one of these days, magsusulat din ako ng tungkol dun.
Hindi na lang muna ngayon. Masyado pa akong masaya para mag-blog ng nakakalungkot.
Thanks to all the first time visitors for dropping by my humble blog. Hope you enjoyed it here and I'd be glad to see you again!
Usually, I hop back to my visitor's blog when they leave a message in the tagboard. Kapag ginagawa ko yun, hindi lang ako nagkakaroon ng kaunting pagkakilala sa taong bumisita sa blog ko, kundi nakakakuha pa ako ng ideya kung ano pang pwedeng ilagay sa blog ko (pasensya na, naubusan na ata ako ng ingles. hahaha!). One of favorite blogs to visit is Hanagirl's where I find all sorts of blog things and it's like I always see something new everytime I blog hop to her's.
Ngayon naman, nag-hop ako sa blog ni abster at nakita ko ang kanyang blog na maganda. Siguro, maganda din yung may-ari. Hindi ko pa nakikita picture nya eh. Pero, ang galing nya, ang cool ng blog nya. Nakita ko dun na may mood sa bawat post nya. Naisip ko, parang masmaganda yun ah. Kaya eto, ginaya ko. :D Nilagyan ng kaunting paarte, ek-ek, at voila! Makikita nyo na ang mood ko kada post ko! Waharharhar! Abster, sana okay lang na kumuha ako ng idea sa blog mo ha? Thank you. :)
Wehehehe... para akong bata. Wag nyo na lang akong pansinin. Paminsan minsan lang naman to eh. :P
Due to lack of anything sensible to blog or worthy of sharing, I just decided to take some quiz.
You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.
Hmmm... this is not the first left-or-right-brained quiz I have taken, and this is the second time I got the same result. I guess I'm really balance-brained. I've once read, I think in my first quiz, that having this trait does not make you better in any area. That you don't excel in anything. There will just come a time that you'll be good at math and logic, or be creative and artistic, but you won't have the best of any of the two. Well I guess all of them, be it left-brained, right-brained, or balanced, have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male
Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!
And all along I thought my head goes over my heart? I was really kind of expecting I'm more male brained, or at least balanced. It's like they have tagged most or all of the heartless choices with the male specie thus when you choose what you think is right and just, you'll more likely to be female brained, and I don't think it's fair for guys. Uhm, it's just my opinion. I don't really know how this quiz was made so, I might be wrong.
I take quizzes to know more about myself. Though it's been said that nobody else knows the most about us but ourselves---well aside from God of course---there are still times that I can't figure out what I really am or who I really am. There even are times where some people don't really know their real selves. I guess they are those who are having identity crisis. And in these times that these quizzes come to play, at least to help us figure out ourselves, or to give us an idea of the person within us. But that doesn't mean they are always true. I still believe in what John Maxwell said in one of his books: You are what you think you are.
Well, I guess this one's at least worthy of sharing to you all (I mean to all who are interested). At least you have known a little about me. :)
So... what kept me busy during my blog hiatus? Why did I go on hiatus in the first place?
Well actually, it all started with a so petty, nonsense reason. I just saw this hiatus image in Reich's blog and I found it cute. I then went to the site where Reich got it and saw others that are equally cute. I love animes, and so I wanted to post one of the images in my blog but I will have no use for it unless I use it for it's main purpose: going on hiatus. (Hehehe.. kitam? Babaw no?)
So even if I don't really feel like doing it, just to use that cute hiatus image of a sleeping fairy I went on hiatus. There are times I have a rush of ideas that I would love to blog during my hiatus but since I have announced that I'll be gone, I carried on with my word.
It has been favorable for me anyway, because there are times that I would really want to write or share something, but I just don't know how. I mean, I always have difficulties in finding the right words to say. Since not a few gets to read what I write in here, I try to be careful with my words as much as possible, so as not to convey a different meaning on what I really want to say. Also, I'm struggling with my english (really), so bear with me. I can easily spot a wrong grammar or know that a sentence can still be rephrased to sound better but I'm having difficulties constructing one. I can, but I feel not satisfied with the way I wrote it. I want to convey a certain emotion, a certain feeling but I just find myself groping for the words I want to use but can't seem to think of any. It always feels like it's at the tip of my tongue. And so I found it relaxing taking a break from the pressures of thinking what to blog about everyday. (hihihi :D)
Other reasons just followed. Another thing is, I found time to help my colleagues make their own blogs. It seems like I have created such a huge (overstatement) blogging epidemia that almost everybody in my shift is into blogging. And everyone of them asks me when they need help in HTML. Honestly, I don't know much about it and I just learned the thing through blogging, but they all (or most of them) think I am the master! I love helping them though :). Specially when they are really satisfied with the outcome.
And now that I'm back, I am hoping and wishing that I'd be able to write more sensible posts that at some point would at least be able to help those who get to read whatever is written in here.
To all who kept on coming here and took time to read my posts, thank you very much to all of you!
I really am so sorry for the long hiatus... I was really planning to come back this week but my blog layout seems to have some problems and I can't figure out what is it!
I'll be coming back soon... but not right now yet. Have to fix some "minor problems" first.
Again, thank you very much to all of you! Especially to ::russ::, Hanagirl, Tanda, Kimi, Aion, jim, Candilicious (miss you girl!), Lex from Se7eN, and Mai for taking time to comment and post in the tagboard even during my hiatus. :) I really appreciate it. You'll all be one of the reasons why I should think ten times before stopping to blog (if ever that happens :D).
To those who checked out if everything's okay, nothing to worry guys, I'm doin' good. :) And thanks for wishing me a good day/great weekend :).
To those I was not able to mention, your time and effort are also appreciated. :) I wish you all God's blessings. :)
Hehehe.. parang an-drama ata nun :P. Kidding aside, that came from the heart :).

I don't intend this to be my life's chronicles but I might write some of my experiences here.
Even so, everything that's written in here are either products of my excessive contemplation, or just plainly, pure boredom.
In any case, I still try to write as sensible as possible, for what I really intend to do and I hope is achieved in every writing,
is to impart or share some of the things I learn and sometimes, some struggles in life. Don't expect all seriousness in everything in here though.
In short, this blog is my outlet. My noted thoughts and reflections.
