holy week 2011

this is mah first official holy week down under and i must say i just missed observing this very important week back home... though the culture is very much different, i made my own way to make this holy week meaningful...

this was also the first time that i completed the easter triduum... it started with Maundy Thursday... then a visita iglesia on a Good Friday and capped with the Easter Vigil a day after...

now i say in my own little way, i believe that i made some life reflections during the past three days which will surely help me in living my everyday life...

i thanked our Lord Almighty for all the blessings and i will continue living my life according to His will....

greetings: mah lovable bro

haizt, April 16... mah little bro's birthday... little, hmmmmm... eons ago maybe... but he'll always be mah little bro... so, i really dont know what to say... its past half the month already and all i have is my two blogs about birthday greets... well, i will not write anything about any excuses for now and i need to concentrate in writing about mah brother... :-)

--

well, to start with... i believe, though he said he is not, mah brother is known for his hot-headedness… once he made up his mind, it would be very hard to persuade him out of it... but despite that, he always put his love ones close to his heart... and don't even dare to put a finger to anyone special to him or you may see the dark side in him... he is a principled man that never tolerates injustice, naks!....

mah bro value all aspect of love so much that consciously or unconsciously, the intensity of his action in defending everyone he loves can sometimes harm his own life... that is why i so love him so much! :-)

i may say that my brother has this leader trait in him... he never wait for orders rather he take initiatives...

also my brother is a firm believer... without thinking much of the consequences, he dare to stand for what he believes in.

well, one thing i cant deny... him being intelligent... they said it comes naturally to the arians (of course same with cancerians too, hehehe)...  he has this sharpness that never fail to impress those around him...maybe that is why he is an accountant... :-)

likewise, what i like about mah brother is that he is very simple and straight forward...  he acts independently and believes in direct approach... he really love his freedom and easily get irritated if his privacy is broken... 

finally, i can ask anything i want from him, though his reply does not reflects what is in his mind, because sometimes he says no but at the end he gives in to mah request  (that is why sometimes i take advantage of him, joke! hehehe)...

today will be a very long day for me because i'll cook for mah bro and we will make this day a very special day for him... i only wish him more success and happiness in his life... hopefully, no more dramas for a long time... i love you always bro!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

greetings: macoy

our story begins 4years ago, when he first stepped into our operations floor... he was a new trainee doing floor tour in our account... i was tasked to welcome their batch and that was the first time i saw him... what catches mah attention was this unique aura in him that he easily stands out among the crowd... yeah, he is good looking, and no question about that... but there was this mysterious part that makes me interested to know him more...

so fast forward, after their training, he made it into our account... though my interest in him remains, my personality kicks in... the shy type in me prevails.... so i did nothing... and since i am not that type of person who would approach someone...  our frequent interaction was just the simple "hi-hello"...

then we finally had a chance to have a real conversation through our common friend Tinnie... Tinnie was his supervisor that time and she was one of my close friend in our account (though she's also new to the company, we easily get at ease with each other)...

from that moment, the connection started... and fast forward, he became one of special person in mah life... part of mah extended family... though our personalities pulls opposite way, we have this common understanding in respecting those differences that makes our relationship stronger...

in the past four years, i can quantify 4 words that speaks highly of him.... adventurous, fiery, brilliant and spirited... i can significantly remember him of his straightforwardness.. he is very much direct in his speech, often outspoken and very undiplomatic (sowee!), that is why i easily fall into arguments with him which surely i cant win... :-)

if he aspire for something, he will not give up and try his level best until he achieve what he wants... that is why i think he stayed in my previous company... :-) i remember that i did not approve of what he plans to achieve, i gave him better options to explore his career and warned him of the storm he will face if he pursue with his plans but i failed... i know that he does not look for external approval especially when it comes to achieving success... and i guess, he just want to prove himself to himself that he can achieve what he wants... and at the end... yes, he succeed and i was wrong...

and yes, he loves to be liked and praised... it is very much necessary to appreciate and praise him openly to keep him very happy... furthermore, he is a cheerful spender and like to spend a lot of money buying new stuff and unique items, big YES especially to clothes... if he's down and want to be cheered up, bring him to a shopping spree... :-) but remember, second hand items, used stuff is out of the equation... he's intent are for buying first hand, first class and branded new items...

if you want to make him mad.... do just one thing... ignore him.... if he felt that he's ignored, he'll definitely loose his temper... if he said he's hungry, he means that he immediately require food or else his patience will be gone in a zap... he likes to be attended first or his interest will pass out and worst, may end up quarreling for nothing... to top that, he does not like admitting to his mistake and personal failures...

when i get lucky in times that he admit his mistake... he admit it silently and will not express it to anyone and be vocal about it... this is the worst time in giving him advice, so i might as well just listen to him...

lastly, there is certainly one thing that makes me like him the most... he keeps his loved ones on a high pedestal... he is very much thoughtful, generous and caring... the attention he gives is unparalleled...  if pushed, he can defend everyone he loves even till death...

wow, i cant believe time travels so fast and despite all of my shortcomings... you stayed with me through everything... i cant imagine living my life now without you on it... and i thank you for all of our wonderful experience together... as you open a new chapter in your life... i would like to assure you that i will always be here for you... i will be your shoulder to cry on and your ears to whine upon... and i wish you a great day and have a blast on your special day (though am sad that i cant be there to be part of your big 3-0 celebration).... 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
