thanks ketty!

dear friendster.com,

today i'm ending the connection between you and me. six years of our time together will always be cherished. you helped me find my long lost friends, you helped me release what i was keeping to myself, you helped me know other people more.

it's not that you're of no use anymore. it's just that i want to move on. i want to make way for a new growth i guess. a new medium. i still want to reach out to friends but not in this way.

you have witnessed almost all of the ups and downs of my life for the past six years. you have been a great friend to me. you have comforted me by your own little way.

So goodbye for now and thank you. you will always be a part of me :)



love,
lorraine

ako mismo. . .

I'm proud to have been part of this campaign. Ako Mismo is an invitation for people to be part of making a difference in society, starting with oneself. It was born out of the collective vision of people who believe in the power of the individual to effect positive change. Ako Mismo provides a refreshing message of hope and empowerment.

A concert was held last night at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Dog tags served as gate pass. They said that dogtag is a military symbol, a commitment to a mission. It only cost 40 bucks and you got to enjoy the music and hear pledges and commitments of individuals -- celebrities or ordinary people.

Everyone shared his commitment. From the smallest act to a more general and deeper pledge for the country. Some were fun to read, some were serious. Example of pledges from the wall of commitment:

And so I came up with a very simple pledge:

"Ako mismo, bilang isang babae, ipaglalaban ang karapatan ko"

so here's the story

i haven't been blogging for quite some time now. been very busy lately. i quit my job and focused on more important things :) a lot of things happened since i posted my last entry.

so here's the story:

i met him one fine day. it was as if i didn't really care at all. he had his own life, i had mine. he was happy with someone else, and so was i.

when love feels like magic, it's destiny. when love has a sense of humor, it's serendipity. okay, i borrowed it from a movie tag line. but it felt really true. what struck us, i think, was what's being called serendipity. everything was unexpected and unplanned.

to make the short story shorter, it became "us". we absolutely loved each other. he gave me the gift of love, i gave him the gift of trust. everything was just right and normal. but man, normal is boring so he tried to make things complicated. we tried to fix it and started all over again. we even planned to get married -- soon.

and finally, that day came. few more days and we would tie the knot. i was very excited. finally i met the right guy for me. finally. . .

something came up. there was a noise. a very loud and deafening noise. it was coming right behind my ear. i reached for it and saw my alarm clock ringing.

it's time to wake up from a deep slumber. mr. right was gone. he was just a dream. he didn't exist at all. . .there's no really mr. right.

hope to dream about him again.
