Something I want and Something I need

Choosing between my needs and  wants have always been a battle of will. Most of the time, I lost in all the drama and ended up with something I don't really want. Not because I picked a bad choice but because I have the tendency to let everything float for too long that in the end the choices seems like it doesn't matter anymore.

For my birthday this year, as a celebration for my big 3.0 natal years, I took a stand not to procrastinate on something I need.  No. This is not a paid post. This is what  I call  "maturity". lols

Life and Health Insurance for a brighter life. xx

For the "want" part, let me just get a book.

For a Special Woman

Ang Aking Nanay 

Joie (5/6/11)

Sa katanghaliang tapat nitong aming buhay

Katirikan ang init ng araw

Aming ina'y wala ng mapaglagyan

Mistulang ligaw na bulaklak sa daan

Hindi ka na alintana ng mga anak mong mahal

Pagka't hindi na makatungo,malayo na ang tinatanaw

Sa ihip ng hangin ika'y sumasayaw

Lahat kami iba na ang nais kaulayaw

Hindi na binigyang halaga ng mga anak mong alibugha

Mga dagok at hirap na iyong sinagupa

Gabing hindi naitulog,kaning ipinaubaya

Bigat ng dibdib na iyong iniluha

Babae mong anak kawangis mo sa iyong paningin

Noon ay nene kung iyong tawagin

Ngayo'y estranghera na kung sayo'y makatingin

Tila baga ika'y nananalamin

Mga anak mong lalake ngayo'y pag aari na ng iba

Hindi na iyo, ganap ng asawa't ama

Sa atensyon nila may kaagaw ka na

Apo na nga lang may kahati ka pa

Anak mong bunso 

Bawat daana'y may luha at dugo

Akala ata moog syang nakatayo

Sa tibay at tatag hindi na makayuko

Kami ay lumaki sa mapagpala mong kamay

Natuto at nagka-isip sa iyong gabay

Nabuo sa kaibuturan ng iyong dugo't laman

Ngayong nagkamalay , kalayaan ang isinisigaw

Kung kami noo'y pumapalahaw

Sa bawat sandaling hindi ka matanaw

Ngayo'y kanya-kanyang alsa balutan

Pag sasarili't kalayaan ang isinisigaw

Kami nga yata ang iyong sumpa

Na kailan ma'y hindi mo maitatatwa

Pagkat pagmamahal mo sa amin

Ay sadyang wagas at dakila

Salaula man kami sa iyong paningin

Pag kakausapin lahat ay iwas tingin

Yoon ay dahil mahirap lang tangapin 

Sadyang kami ay hindi na pwedeng  maangkin

Ang iyong laging turan

Ang utang na loob sa mga magulang

Kailan ma'y hindi matatawaran

Maliban sa pag dating ng araw 

Na ang AKO ay maging IKAW

Dun palang sasapat ang kabayaran

A girl at any age need a MOM to hug, and share a smile with. I'm not a perfect daughter, but you did just great. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Thank you for everything.

For the Sake of an Old Love

"An old lover is calling...The one I can't resist. "

the port of Bulan. i'm almost home.

My dearly beloved Alma Mater, called me to stand in front of her graduates, I humbly accepted. And the task to be there on time is daunting for I never expected the buses bound hometown is full! The buses in Cubao  was fully booked for that week,and also in Pasay terminal. But hell will get loose if I can't be there. So here it is the timetable I beat just to be there on schedule!

Sunday
11:30 PM Cutting trip Manila to Legaspi, the last bus for the long ride.

Monday
10:30 AM  was in the middle of street in Daraga,Albay waiting for a bus ride to Bulan,Sorsogon.
2:30 PM Bulan port at last!
3:30 PM Bulan port to San Jacinto port. A miracle that I was able to catch the last boat to the island cause IF not I would probably sleep in the bus station and wait for the first trip early in the morning and go directly to the graduation ceremony the next day!

5:00 PM Finally home after a 17 hours travel!

Tuesday
7:30 AM Graduation Ceremony
10:30 Finished
10:30-11:00 AM  Lunch
1:00 PM Left home to Bulan Port
3:00 Bulan to Manila
5:30 Pasay terminal
6:00 AM Home
6:30 AM Off to work!

You might say, why in the name of the good lord din't you just take the plane?  Well, Moi is as poor as a country mouse.

Two is Company,but Three's a Friendship

 

We were connected with the long walk to Cavite,we talked out a dare,we met in a clean up, and as they say- the rest is history. We are so different from one another but with some common ground we bonded as one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. M! (i love the two of you dearly)

The Search for the Perfect Fit

It's been awhile since I blog. So sad to see that I wasn't able to meet my personal quota of fifteen post a month. There was a lot of reason why I wasn't able to do so. But the most was because a friend got married!
And we were all so excited to be bridesmaids!! It was not an easy task. It involve lots of drama and cat fight about a lot of things but most especially the SHOES!!... L

Let the shoes fight begin...

The first three choices of the bride,all by Steve Madden.

The takes of the bridesmaids!!

 
 

Two weeks before the big day!At this point we could not afford to place shoes order that we decided to look for local brand shoes!

Rusty Lopez! This one was a hard one to let go. 

Last minute choice of the bride.A black and white Cardams shoes. In this time she was trying to pacify all the bridesmaids not to start pulling each others hair. lol

And the winner is!!! The one on top of the Two Towers. A Cardams shoes chosen a week before the wedding. Still not everyone was happy for the chosen one! Everyone has its own favorite sadly we had to compromise for one since that's the bride wish. For her bridesmaids to walk the aisle with same shoes. And it was a daunting task.

But in the end..my aren't we look so pretty? J

Three Years in the Making

Long overdue get together with my college friends. The planning took 3 years because someone couldn't keep up their promises. Busy. What else is the better excuse. Good thing there were two of us that celebrates birthday on the month of September . We decided to make it a long overdue reunion and a birthday celebration!

Picking out the date was a big pain in the ass. Everybody has different rest day especially those who work in the BPO industry. With a lot of drama, lame excuses with broken promises that make this weekend gateway 3 years overdue, we were able to fix our schedule and push through with a much needed break. And we end up in La Roca natural hot spring in Los Baños Laguna. The place wasn't that great. The attic room which could accommodate 12-15 people was unremarkable. Most of the staffs are nowhere to be found. We booked the room a month prior but when we arrived there the room wasn't even ready. Our dining/receiving area was infested with mosquitoes because half of the resort was under water due to the damage of a typhoon. But why did we choose that resort when natural hot springs were like mushrooms in Pansol, Laguna to choose from. Well, one of us knows that resort because they usually go there and she said the place was good. But I am not impressed. 

The only thing we enjoyed was this. The water was hot! But once you get used to it,it feels really good. It's a back massage!

Nevertheless with the company of old time’s friends anything could be fun. Make it an old love story or stupidity and mishap through college days. We spent the night swimming and talking about none substantial things in the children’s pool!!

Someone does not know how to swim and afraid of swimming. J

this is how you swim when you don't know how
you put your hands on the floor and just kick your feet, see easy right? 

kiddie pool could be fun!

They enjoyed the kiddie pool too much that we end up extending an hour because they went swimming again the next morning. It looks like that a night of swimming wasn't enough. 

Till next time guys! Hope it won’t take another 3 years. The stories to share will be too long. haha And please no more matching up with an old flame. Move on! Besides the two of you doesn't seems like a good pair. J

the old gang..

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I got the book last weekend as a birthday gift from a dear friend. This book was reviewed and talked by a lot of people already so I will not say anything about it. Beside everyone who reads the book I'm sure we all agree in one thing. We all feel and wonder about Charlie.

As for me I’m posting this because I’m thankful for the gift, but most of all I’m thankful for the friendship. I don’t have to write to a “friend” that I don’t know. I have you to talk to. J

The Perks....

“You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things.”---- SAM 

  

"I feel infinite."

Sleep Away

Let's make love beneath the moonlit skies

In vast grassland bathes in dew

Cover me with your sweet gentle kiss

Render me with your hopeless promises.

Your fervent desire let me hear

Whisper them dear in my ears

Strangers in the night may we be

Our heart tells a different story.

Cold wind blows so far away

Moon rise overlapping needs

Secret valley and hidden plains

Map them with your fingertips.

The taste of my sweat in your skin

Makes me believe once again in fairytale

Imprison in your tight embrace

Coax me to fly with your name in my lips.

Catch me soar high in the sparkling skies

Lay me down in your arms as dawn approach

As raging heartbeat  turn into rhythmic bliss

I close my eyes and dream back to reality.

I posted this poem in my notes in my FB account and in my other blog which I call emo-blog cause it where i usually post my poems.J

Young at Heart

Last October 7, my brother scored a cheap ride -all-you-can at Star City. And it was our mother dear who had the most fun.  I was sick during that time,well that's my excuse with the disgusting puking my guts out event and going home early. My lil'bro visited  me last Wednesday and told me that after I left our mom wanted to ride the  Space Shuttle !! But nobody wanted to join her!... Boo to my bro's!!

Here are some of my mom's photos having a good time at the amusement park.

What's With The Name

REMEMBER SEPTEMBER. Well,it rhymes and I like the sound of it.(haha)

The reason behind this blog name is that I was born on the month of September, and I want this blog to remind me of things I was able to do with my life, the people that I've met, places I've been, and anything that I find fun and interesting. Though the name REMEMBER SEPTEMBER is far from being interesting, but kinda fun in some way I guess.

I write using the English language only because I'm lazy not because am good at it. Nakakatamad mag tipa ng mga salita na sobrang hahaba at nakakainis makakita ng pulang linya sa ilalim ng bawat salitang tinitipa ko.

With my first entries most of them are written like i'm advertising something,  not because they're paid advertisement (i wouldn't mind though if I get paid article here)  rather I'm trying not to write things too personal. I want those entries to be read by others at the same time the stories behind the stories are still mine alone. I'm used to writing down my thoughts and ideas in notebooks or any piece of paper that end being transferred to another piece of paper that ends up misplace or totally lost. I'm thinking that if it is online maybe I would be able to keep them for a long time. My only problem now is I always forget passwords. (haha) I can't remember how many email address,twitter, multiply, and even Facebook account I wasn't able to use now for the reason I don't remember my passwords!!  Actually this blog is my second one. No need to ask what happened to the first. I simply can't open it anymore. ..lol


BTW,the other reason for this blog is I wanna be a rockstar since I have to let go of being a supermodel coz I was rejected when I audition for the "The American's Next Top Model.
