A Peach Mango Pie Proposal

At night of August 18, 2013, in the midst of heavy rains and floods...this would not stop a man to do what he has planned...Finally, after 69 months and 21 days of wonderful moments of love, fun and togetherness (5 years, 9 months and 21 days to be exact)...
he already asked me in a most unexpected moment...no clues...no hints...what I've only noticed was our theme song keeps on playing repeatedly after each track on his phone while we're having dinner...ang sabi ko pa "Paulit-ulit?!". He just smiled.

I remembered the lines, "Nhey, para syo 'eto!" while he handed me a peach mango pie.
I said, "Nhey busog na ako, ang dami ko na nakain. Sayo na lang yan!" Actually, I really did not know why he keeps on insisting the peach mango pie for me.
Then he opened it. As I looked at him while he opened the peach mango pie, I wondered why it's not the peach mango pie that I was expecting. "OMG!" as I said to myself.

While he was holding it, he was already serious and continue talking, (I never been seen him as serious as this before. Nhey is a funny person. He always makes me laugh on his own special way. One of his traits that I really like...) "Nhey, para syo talaga 'eto." Then, he opened a red heart-shaped small box with a ring. "Gusto ko na kasi simulan na natin pag-usapan eto eh...Nhey, Will you marry me?"

Out of surprised, I just first said, "Anu eto Nhey? Totoo Nhey? Seryoso?". He said, "Oo, Seryoso ako.
Gusto ko na magsimula ng pamilya kasama ka!" Then, he asked me again, "Will you marry me?" he was teary-eyed then. Of course, I said "Oo nman. Yes."

He showed me the new image that was on my lock screen of my phone. He created a poster of our pictures together from our previous years around a bride and groom picture in a middle, with the caption, "Honeycoh, Honey, Nhey, Will you marry me?". I remembered that he borrowed my phone before we have our dinner. I already saw this poster when I used to unlock my phone, but I did not noticed the caption below on it. How come I didn't saw it? One of the hints that I missed.
And also, that night before our dinner starts, he keeps on holding my hand looking at my ring finger with our couple ring. Another hint that I did not even observed.

Then, we hugged and I was also teary-eyed.

His proposal is so simple but I really appreciated it (No need for videos, expensive and special proposal ideas...)
Simple but sincere. He proposed in unexpected situation and no special occasions at all.

After that, favorite ko na ang Peach Mango pie! :)

To all our friends and relatives who witnessed our love story from the start...and keeps on asking when will be the Big day...this is the start...sooner you will know the exact date! ;)

MIT Research Project...bow!

Bakit nga ba ang hirap mag-isip ng Research Project (Thesis) for MIT?

Ilang araw, hindi na pala araw kundi naging linggo na, ilan weeks na ako nag-iisip ng kakaibang project para sa MIT ko...wala halos pumapasok sa isip ko...na maging project ko.
OMG...Please help me... 

Kung iisipin naman kasi natin, lahat halos kasi ng system application ay available na sa atin, sabihin na nating naimplement na or nagawa na. Kailangan kasi mag-come up ako sa isang project na unique or hindi pa widely use or common.

Marereject na kasi kagad sa Proposal Defense palang kapag common na yung system at wala man lang bago. Kaya pahirapan ngayon, I hope dati ko pa natapos etong MIT ko.

I only have this semester to get this Research Project. Ito ang simula ng magiging Thesis ko.
Wala na ako ma-eenroll na subject next semester kasi pre-requisite na ito for Project Planning at Project Development. Wahhh!!! :(

Kailangan ko na matapos ang aking MIT.

i hate regrets...how to live our life without regrets...

"I hate regrets... the one thing I hated most... if only i have a chance to start again my life... if only..."

Everyone has made poor choices or done something in their past that could possibly be labeled as "regrettable." But, think about it. The fact that you are now able to look back and realize that a mistake or mis-step occurred means you have learned a valuable lesson. Some of my choices may have landed me in unpleasant circumstances, but experiencing these things certainly built my current character. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for those character-building situations. Mistakes are stepping stones to an evolving life. No need for you to sink into regret or despair -- keep your chin up.

Here's how:

1. Acknowledge a mistake has been made - It is easy to play the blame game, pointing fingers at someone else or cirmcumstances as to why you have stumbled or why your life is difficult. Taking personal ownership that your past actions resulted in bringing about your current reality is the first step to moving past regrets and moving toward a brighter future.
2. Make amends - If your past actions or words have harmed another person an apology may be in order. Or not, apologies can be tricky. Judge for yourself if an apology will help matters or only drudge up old wounds better left alone. But, definitely forgive yourself! Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. Continuely berating yourself for past actions is self-defeating. Would you kick a dog while it was laying down? Of course not. Please don't do this to yourself. Righting a wrong is not always feasible. If you feel badly about a past action you've taken that cannot be righted, forgive yourself, and let it go.
3. Do-overs - Sometimes feelings of regret arise not from our past actions, but from our non-actions. Have you ever regretted not taking a vacation, staying stuck in a dead-end job, not attending college... or whatever? It may be too late to reverse those decisions, but you still have options. Some colleges offer free classes for seniors. You might not have the time, money, or physical endurance to travel, but you can rent movies or attend travelog showings about the regions you wish to learn more about. New opportunities are available around every corner if you just open your heart and follow your dreams.
4. Be grateful - The most valuable lessons learned in life often come from the mistakes we make. It may take a walk down a dark alley to see clearly. Embrace your follies, feel gratitude for getting past the worst episodes and eventually finding your way along a less-cluttered path.
5. Be careful not to repeat the same mistake - A skinned-knee teaches a small child not to run so fast. Slow-down. If you are repeatedly faced with similar difficulties over and over again, this is a sure bet that you have not learned the lessons these situations are trying to teach. Opportunity will surface only after you take responsibility for faulty actions taken and change your current and future behaviors accordingly.
6. Be watchful of future knee-jerk reactions - This is probably the toughest step, not reacting negatively to situations or the people who tend to push your buttons. We don't always have control over the things life tosses in front of us, but we do control our reactions. Stay calm. Introduce stress-management into your daily life. Meditation helps clear and focus the mind. Therapeutic play will help balance work-related stresses.
7. Looking deeper inside - Re-evaluate the direction your life is taking. Have you accepted that your past mistakes are just that --- in the past? Focus on today. Become aware of your future goals and desires. Setting clear intentions will help clear the path so that your life progresses with a freer heart and increased happiness. The best is yet to come! Believe it.

TIPS:

1. Remember, nobody is perfect. Including yourself!
2. Forgiveness is golden.
3. Live for today. Yesterday was then.

Stand out...Make a Challenge

There are things you already knew which is right...but you still tempted to do what is wrong...and acted like you're just a human, weak and can commit sins...That is why there are several numbers of sinners...(ouch!!!) :( because of this perception... sad but this is the reality...

And you have to stand out for what you believe and fight for it...save the earth! polluted from sins... this is our challenge...everyone of us...after this holy week, I realized one thing, it's hard to be holy...strive to be good...but it's harder if you don't let Jesus touches your life...God loves us...Let us bring back to him the LOVE he gave to us... :)
