The Gift of My Lifetime


If only I can give the most expensive gift I can find, I will;
But I can only give you a gift that is priceless, the gift of my lifetime.


It includes my today, the sunrise until sunset, the tomorrows after;
Take my dreams, my hope and all the love in me, reunite them with yours.


Accept my strength, it may empower you at times when you feel alone;
But I am giving my weaknesses too, that you may also earn understanding.

Receive my ambition, should I succeed consider it yours and rejoice;
Even if I don't want to give you my failures, take it with my aspirations to start anew.


My smile, my giggles and laughter to you I lovingly offer;
Seize my happiness, for it is only with you that it belongs.


Capture my heart, my soul, my wholebeing, it is meant for you;

Win the gift of my lifetime, it is the only present I can give.

A Quote from Outliers

"A lesson crucial to those who wanted to tackle the upper reaches of a profession like Law or Medicine:
If you work hard enough and assert yourself,
and use your mind and imagination,
you can shape the world to your desires."


Outliers, The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell, pp. 175-176

Dress Up Like a Teenager

Since I began lawshcooling I've been dressing up like a pro. I ditched the shirts and had blouses, the jeans for slacks and skirts, jackets for blazers and sneakers for heels.

So I've been eyeing an All Star Chucks for quite sometime but had the dilemma whether to buy it or not.

First, its quite expensive;

Second, I know I can't wear it as often because I am ususally on office attire 6 days a week;

Third, I feel like I'm too old for chucks.


But, as saying goes that only carabaos get old and my lifelong principle to follow my heart's desire, and with the patient and persistent solicitation from the best kuya on earth, I had my first ever Chucks with the name "Stripcircle" (a combination of stripes & circles).

My kuya bought me "stripcircle" in anticipation that Ginebra will win this PBA season and that will be his treat for me. Thank God! despite Ginebra's failure to win the championship, my Kuya never rescinded the treat. Love you Pabs!


So yesterday, I dressed up like a teenager. I just can't tell until when I can have the opportunity to dress up like a teenager or when I would have to box "stripcircle" and wear those damn hurting heels again, but for now, I will enjoy "stripcircle" and surely to show-off our next pictures together.
Happiness!

Stalking

I stopped stalking him since January, but like old habits you sometimes misses, I stalked him this morning.

Well, I felt jealous of girls in his comment bar. I remember our coffee nights, the poem reading and midnight text messages.

I hope to see him soon and talk with him about life, a topic which he is good at and makes me feel ignorant whenever we discuss.

Well, I miss him.

Teaching on Saturdays

Teaching has become my Saturday lifestyle. I wish Professors can cut classes too. I'm not in the mood to talk and talk tomorrow and be frustrated with students who haven't experienced the total Ma'am Daye's havoc.

Beware.

Daye on Losing Weight

Congratulate me! I lost about 8 kilos or 17.6 lbs since March. Effortlessly.

Family & friends noticed it (and Gil is prodding me to upload a new picture on Friendster or Facebook because he doesn't believe) .

What's your diet? What are you doing? Preparing for an event? Nagdrugs ka ba? - series of questions I heard a lot for the last two weeks.

Hmmm, like I said I lost weight effortlessly. I was kidding that I lost 1 kilo because I'm dieting and 7 kilos because of STRESS. I was thinking it might also be the effect of the hormone pill I am taking to address my PCOS. I even thought I have TB or colon cancer or any disease that causes sudden weight loss.

I don't want to make a big deal out of this but Geezzz! All my jeans requires a belt, my slacks and blouses are kinda becoming uncomfortable because they doesn't fit me well anymore, and those facts are giving me a reason to go extremely shopaholic this weekend. Sigh. (Attn: Benefactors please.)
