In Karen's thoughts (today)
12:10 AM
its 3am. later is the SVDP's feast day. got boyfriend a ticket to go. hooray =) sad to know family isn't going... ah well, buti nalang, sana nandon si boyfie para at least may kasama throughout and most of all, after the event. lala~ thanks for the surprise Mike... didn't know ure gonna be at Istana. =) I called the store cz I missed ur call. heh (dito pa sinabi eh. lol. ewankobakungmababasamoito.) anws, had shots just last thurs. a dear partner took my shift after cleaning till almost 3am at 2nd home -Starbucks the nite before. Cleaned till the wee hours. We were, they said, having a Store Audit the following day. Spent the day at hon's crib.
Thats the only one im posting. haha. im gettin tired to post the rest. will keep it in an album instead. nice stolen shots. haha. dang, i babysit!! yey! haha... ngek. Blog. Wat i really wanna say is, i wouldnt have expect that mom and I will talk when i got home. that was already around 12am+. I headed to the kitchen and opened the fridge to check wat i cud eat... and as of now, im really feeling the hunger pangs... dang. so yea, then the next thing u know, shes there... telling me where I can find food. thanks ma. =) She shared me infos about the F1 race. She's working at telecommunications at Swisshotel, The Stamford. So she has infos on such events. Got to see the map, the names of the drivers, who are some of the famous peeps stayin in the full booked hotel, wat mom does and blah blah. im just inspired... cz she shared dad having had stayed in the hotel years back when we were still in the phils and dad was already here. Today's the only day I knew he actually stayed in the 65th floor. wow. bonga. sana ako rin talaga... i mean, who doesnt want to live a comfortable life? Seventh heaven? Just a piece of heaven for a moment (hopefully a lifetime?) in our lives... that kinda thing... Then I visited Kina Granni's official website. As from wat i understood, cz i am not mentally and physically awake, shes trainin for this marathon thingie for blood cancer drive 'in honor of her mom,' next month. Then came the realization again that, she has this great talent with awesome turn out of a growing number of people who appreciate her music, her voice, her style.. (I like her. I made Mike try out the tutorial she has on youtube of "Strong Enough" single of hers. I love it. First heard and, wham~I just wanna learn how to play it.) I became empathetic. Placed her position in my shoes... and thought about God and his awesome wonders to human beings like us... Then I reflected on the bullshit life I am doing in some aspects in my life like overspending... (weeehhhhhh) and just spending and not saving... i can be such a foolish earthling sometimes... but yea, we are not perfect... but, just lookin on wat I am doing... the wastage actions of mine make me wanna change... I know its tough... but I think with constant prayer we'll get there with more relief and much encouragement... cz as of now, I really think that human nature is not gonna make us succeed... we need faith in everything.... kaya yan.... no pain no gain talaga... and I really hope wen I do succeed and obtain that blessing, I pray i dont get such big egos like some of mom (most? heh..) colleagues. nakakainis talaga.... sounding realisation ko yan. cliche na kung sabihin mo... pero iba kasi pagnaexperience mo na yong lagi mong naririnig or the quotes we typically know. we know dem by words... but how's life gonna be for us once that particular quotes hits our own lives? will u "see the light at then end of the tunnel?" i'll leave y'all to ponder...
yon lang. Goodnite. dance performance later in the evening... hmmm... i hate my dress... but hey, thank God ive something to wear for a nite... or merely hours? wahahha... pls boyfie, hope u can go. sayang ticket mo hon if eva! =) Ilovey'all~ Godbless~ vendredi, septembre 19, 2008
8 days of panic
3:43 AM
Ahh =) Exam results were released last 17th. I panicked when my dear classmate texted me 8 days before the date of the release of our examinations. Freaking surprised. I asked my schoolmate/partner if their exams will be released in a week, same day too and yes, it was true.
LAST 17 SEPT 2008 at 12 noon was the release.... 3 hours before the time of release on weds my classmate already txted to check on me if Ive checked my results. (how sweet?? o_0?) so I didnt bother much until I eventually gotten off my bed... been panicking for 8 days cz I know I really did screw up my exams. i bottled my panic-state. hehe. I didnt study for the 5 modules. Even if I did, twas hours before the paper. Thank God cz some of the papers were done in the late evening like 6pm and others are in the morning at 9am, den I just went off to try to study but I dont know why, I end up not doing that and afternoon papers made me get up in the morning and study. weeh... but i always end up hating myself cz i couldve done something about it... and at each paper, i knew, i'd flunk it.
Lo and Behold...
I really can't believe I've passed them all.... =D OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD, UTTERLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even yesterday, I couldnt believe it... bro kept askin mom for money cz he wants new shoes... and I thought of getting shoes for myself to reward... (even though, really, when holidays began, i didnt even think i deserve the 6 weeks break cz i slacked through out... gave up... thats why im kinda pushy about the 'changin course' thingie... and i can still vividly remember the days wen i go to sch in order to learn wat i dont like, or rather, wat ive put up for 2 years.)
AND OMG!!!! WHY DID I PASS MY MECHATRONICS, ENGINEERING MODULES?!?!?
AHH!!!!!! INSANELY GOOD!!!!! ^_^ but Karen still wants a change in mah course. I cant stand another semester of trying to win the students who is in their element of desire as a future job. dang. some thing wants me to stay... cz first of all, i wouldnt think i'd pass ALL my modules and ENGINEERING?!??! Math, FYI, is my WORST subject since elementary. gosh. ironic.
and today im awake early. 7am. wow. =D off to work! and work is pretty awesome. hehehehehe.... but its hard to think that im gonna leave sooner or later. =(
CARPE DIEM!
i got the shoes... theyre hundred bucks wen rounded up... will take a pic of my first ever Airforce shoes. lol... ehehehe... and then theres this Feast Day Dinner and Dance on the 28th. DAng, I need a new dress and my money is running out. shetz mercredi, septembre 17, 2008
you were more than just a Store Manager... I'll miss ya =)
11:50 AM
It's really great working at Starbucks. Who would have known, I'm actually growing more as a person in that green house because of my PARTNERS, my 2nd family. (and yes, who would have thought i would even call them as my "2nd family") Who would even thought I would even be emotionally involved in this part time job of mine for almost a year and 4 months. I can't believe it's been a year and here I am today, not tired but still eager and enthusiastic now and in future. It is difficult at first, there are challenges along the way, happy, sad moments.... but in every aspect, it is a gift to me. Today, it's official that Noel Monsetto Jr Capilli left Sb-OR for Crown. He came down to store to have a meeting with our new Store Manager, Gary. (yey, he's a flip too) I was making a venti no whip green tea cream frappuccino blended cream while he bid his farewell and with a straight forlorn smile. I was the last to whom he said gdbye cz i was working. (gosh, im tearing as i blog this...) I can still remember the first time I met him when he did the Art of Expresso during our training days at the Headquarters even mentioning that the name of his bestfriend was in order of how Joyanne and I sat in their class: Joy-Karen. Who would have known he'd end up being our store manager at OR and now, after a year, he is in another store. He did what he said he would. His actions bear not just a successful store but dynamic partners who grew, learnt and im sure, inspired too by him. I can't even put into words how grateful, blessed and thankful I am when I met that human being. Hehe... He changed me to be a better person you see. He's my answered prayer to, "someone who can change and help me with my tardiness." What more believing, moulding, having excessive patience in each of our partners in store. What more Mike's hiring, training and now a certified Barista. This man has accomplish a lot and touched many lives especially in our store thats why I'm saying SB-OR is my 2nd family. Ive experience/experiencing lessons in life that I am not taught at home, school or elsewhere. It's truly special and rewarding (other than the money =P hahaha.) and I tell ya this, every partner, every barista in ANY Starbucks just can't seem to resign the company. I dont know why... I am a guilty one... Somehow, there's something about starbucks I can't leave... So yea... Noel txted us for the last time... i'll miss them too... everything na. lahat na. and wen i replied, i teared man.... there's a challenge he wants me to promise to him.... but i dont know if i can carry that out... school, despite these rewards are still a challenge..... and I really hope, this goes to something better than I hope... I'll just leave faith to decide. Do wats need to be done... Its good to know though that someone like him so almost-perfect, sees and believes in you... in me... I can't believe you're making me ProMiSe to be a Ptshm... thanks for the challenges, the memories... for everything. (im too lost for great words. MANY MANY THANKS) I think... he's the first person to tell me that, "... promise me you'll be..." wehh... it's really like saying gdbye... like saying ur last words before u breathe ur last. =( I miss him already... but hello to a new road. =) May i be a gd example like Noela Capilli. wahaha.. Of course, there's Sam too... another great partner. His excellent service... so much to learn from him too and yes, its sad he has to leave.... thanks for the shared knowledge, great team work, memories, horny jokes, empatheticness, great ideas and customer oriented... =) CHEERS TO SB-OR PARTNERS from last year till now: 16 Sept 2008: Noel, Sam, Fiizzie, Ronizah, Karen, Saiful, Helmi, Ihkbar, Bareth, Ben, Melvin, Yvonne, Brian, Michael, Anselm, Seha, Latiff, Gary, Lia, Farah, Nicole, Azzah, Elfie, Mark, Zul, Ryan, Mandy, Nurul... and to those whom I missed, you know who you are. =) lundi, septembre 01, 2008
A look back
11:05 PM
Your Frustrated Dancer. wahahaha. ;)
I have been meeting alot of people with great testimonies and one of them is boyfriend's mom. All is good i say... the only thing to really dig deeper is education. I miss school now... (It has only been a week off from school) more than ever. I miss waking up to go school and be "welcomed" by the swarm of people who do the same thing just that in different directions in each one's life. The different classes, modules, teachers, crazy projects, tests, quizzes, exams and deadlines. Come on, every student has to go through them, yea? I want that to be accomplished soon so I can make my own money and give back to my parents. I just feel that time is ticking real fast. Im getting old and I dont necessary feel independent given my age. Dang. heeeh. Imperfections. It is somehow a not deserving break for me. hehe. So i'll just maximise the unrelated school benefits: music, dance, starbucks, gym, church and family. I wanna reap something good out of them cz it will be the only time I can focus to these areas in my life while on break. woo.. talk about change... Change as the only thing being constant... I'd only drag these thoughts in my head but I dont want to anymore. It gets too tiring just simply thinking about it. I'm just glad I am learning to have more faith now, believe, do the right thing and leave it all to the Lord. =)

just a look back on my life.visited filsg and the videos were all compiled in a page.i saw the videos from my amateur dancing to a better dancer.im not that good, really, (I even labelled myself a "Frustrated Dancer" upon replays and hello, realization) but i see improvements in each performance.then, i thought about the times i had to juggle with in my life too -school, work, love, family, church, friends... every thing fall in pieces... beautifully.each aspect made me grow and i loved the girl who grew both inside and out.I wanna do better, cz i know i can. I know the obstacles to cross and I wanna see them flourish. thanks for the times, the memories oh Lord... I hope you'll shape me to the kind of person you want me to be.
