- Im At A Lost For Words -




So after reading thru the last post..i was wondering..how am i supossed to follow up that? im most def. at a lost for words..i sense that people think i always have something clever to say, but really i dont. i never mean to hurt anyone by what i say. and id like to apologize to whomever i have offended by anything ive said. i tend to say stuff, without thinking it thru before i say it.

I guess i always learn the hard way..

yeah i tend to mess stuff up...

instead of talking all that much..ive realized i need to listen far more than ive ever have.

God is love

- 5 years? -



This song has nothing to do with the picture actually. its just that this cover of Gabe Bondoc - Gentlemen dont is one of the ones i really enjoy listening to.




So when i saw this question. i recall myself having a conversation with my good friend RJ from Vienna about opening up a shop there, due to the fact of the lack of sneakers in this city...the dream plan is: give it 5 years if there is still no store up and running that is real good, we´ll open up a store. I love the fact that we have a concept for it, and its a real dream, i mean dream bigh right?

anyway..its a dream, but is it a plan? For my part, ive always had a plan ready when it came to my future. study to become a chef..work as a chef, then go to uni or college to study Hotell & tourism..this would eventually lead me to study within Food & beverage..which would be the last stop of studies. I would be content with working within the business of the culinary world, but would this make me happy?

Kuya Joseph Tesoro said this during his session at a GA here in Oslo right after the congress..it went :" Gods plans are far greater than Yours!" He had such a good point..His plans are greater than ours..He has so much love for us..matter of fact He only has love for us..thats why He already planned out our lifes. He just lets us get a glimpse of the future every now and then =) Which makes it even more exciting =D

So would the F&B world still be my thing? i randomly got a visit at the shop i work at from one of my favorite teachers ever. we started discussing about carriers..what was the next step for me? Im very active in the youth catholic group YFL, & by always being interactive with youth..i learned that i still wanted to work with the youth...the kids. and we started talking about what if i wanted to be a teacher as a living? I laughed just by the thought of it. why? cause i saw teachers just as a pest..they were just there to keep us busy half of the day =P...but the more i let her give out points about it..the more i saw the positive side of it. you actually do touch & effect them in one way or another...

i was praying alot about it right after the visit my old teacher paid me. and i just started to listen..didnt do the talking, just asked Him for some signs..that would let me know what He wanted me to do..funny thing is...one ofmy co-workers is actually studying to become a teacher..and he started talking bout this..I really got excited..so excited that i actually watched "Freedom Writers". yeah i know its a movie..but hey it was based on a true story..real talk...it just spoke to me...

so yeah..ive decided..to stay here in oslo and not go to some culinary school in a foreign country & educate myself by becoming not just a teacher who will teach students..but a teacher who will let the students teach him..

- Good Music Ftw! -

Monday was such a good start to the week. normally i really dont dig monday all that much, its like the start of the week..and its just so boring =P

Anyway..headed to work at 4pm, its been awhile since i worked with the Big Boss..shes not really that big..but shes still the boss =P..had loads of laughs & good conversations =)

After work i headed to the Ano?nymous practice, swear these girls inspire me =D they really play good music. they asked both, ate, dars & myself to check their practice out, so that we can give some inputs & pointers if ever. and i was just blown away. I cant reveal too much..you all just have to come to the YOUth Got Talent on saturday to check them out! they will most definitely make a show for you =D

- TGIF -

First, i would like to apologize for the lack of updating. ive been lagging alot. well i havent had alot to blog about. anyway...ill recap just friday. i didnt bring my camera around saturday & sunday.

Friday was a good but mad long day. started 11am since i was opening the shop..i must admit its becoming more and more depressing now days..its a bit dark when leaving for work...then when my shift is over its getting dark, the lack of daylight makes me even more excited for my 3 week Philippines vacay! =D

Ended my shift at 4pm, and met up with that med student Christine. Its been awhile since ive seen her. She needed some help with getting a pair of kicks. so i just dropped by Nike Concept Oslo store, found a pair of Nike Air Max Lights, they were on 30% off.. but when we got to the store and she tried em on. i saw that the stitching was a bit messed up, so i asked the sales assistant about it..first thing he says was "oh crap..well if you are going to get em you get em for 60% off. baws! Christine ended up with a pair of kicks for freaking 520kr! baws i tell u!. and them kicks were just oh so cute on her =) she was doubting a bit at first..but when she got em for 60% off, she just said "oh imma get these!..sweeet!"

right after, i had to head for the monthly YFL General Assembly. it was great seeing everyone again. I am truly blessed to be in this community, & fridays GA reminded me how lucky & happy this community makes me.

I didnt know who was giving the talk nor leading the worship. to my surprise & to put me in awe, it was Andre who lead the worship, never in my life have i heard such a honest & humbled prayer from a brother who lead his first worship. im proud of u Andre =D

Then to the speaker, it was Chona who also gave her first talk that evening, and what a great talk it was =) i am truly inspired by my younger brothers & sisters, they were truly the good in my day =D

after the GA i headed to mikes, had a preparty before heading out and bawsing our way thru the city of oslo. aint no party like a ssk party! sorry there are no pix from the party..i ran out of battery =S...anyway it was a good day!

- Long, But Good Thursday =) -


Please press play. one of the best Fall out boy - Sugar were goin down cover ive ever heard.

Yeah, Long day...i had work from 11am to 8pm. Not that im whining or anything like that, its just that it was a long day. Long day provided with loads of random jokes with my coworker mr. curly Mats. & Darwin, Emokid, Joanna & Kimberly =) Their random visits really did make my day, why? well it was that something good in my day. specially since it was raining and it was mad quiet at the store today..the 10-15 minutes they were at the store was enough to be good in my day =)

anyway..just worked today..after work i had to meet my brothers classmate down in Barcelona. she just arrived from Spain & Kuya sent some stuff with her...so i killed off some time after work..and picked the stuff up..first thing she said was "you had to be Philips brother" and then she smiled..and started saying a whole lot of good things about Kuya..it makes me happy to know that the people around kuya do enjoy his company..i mean who wouldnt? miss u kuya! thanks for the filipinos =)

after i just killed some time..dropped by Jeans Lab, to my surprise that Hao (the guy who first cut my hair) was working..chopped up & updated eachother a bit...killed some time cause i was waiting for that one MG to come to the city, since she had a staff meeting with her work..then we just took the bus home..i got to know another thing i did not know bout mg..haha freaking days of our lives...!

ended the day with an hour long Naruto Shippuuden episode AND of course Naruto manga..call me a geek..i know im one =)

anyway to some pix for the day =)
