the gift

2005-08-29T06:09:00.000-07:00

the title doesn't imply of the famous song of Jim Brickman.

sa baba ng post makikita nyo yung gift that we received from MSDOS (with Daying and Myla)- ang barkadang walang umay, walang iwanan...from high school to college...until now, kami pa rin...more than 12 years of friendship...nadadagdagan ng members pero hindi nababawasan...madami ng pinagdaanan...gimik at kalokohan...projects at tours...

if I'm not mistaken si Morlan ang nag edit nito...ang galing galing...ginamit na background yung cover nung wedding program, then nilagay yung half body picture namin ni Jheng...iprinint na parang poster size na naka landscape then ipina-wood-laminate - kasinglaki ng mga poster sa mga studio...

ang dami natuwa sa gift ng barkada...i remember nung makita ng tatay ko...He just came from sleep...pupungas pungas pa kumbaga...eh nag di dinner na kami ni Jheng that time...I saw my father looking at the picture as if he saw a Ferrari - one minute ata ciang naka tingin na wlang kakurap kurap sa frame... then sabi nya "Paano ginawa ito?, Saan pinagawa?"

then nung pinakita naman namin yung gift sa in-laws ko...sabi ni father in law "Ilang kopya ito?, Wala na gang kasamahan ito?"...

that's why we promised to both sides na ipag papa gawa na lang namin cla ng katulad ng THE GIFT...

thanks to MSDOS for the priceless gift...thanks for everything...

the program

2005-08-27T06:23:00.000-07:00

i just would like to post the wedding program... hindi po ito yung invitation na ginamit namin...this is the program...kumbaga handouts - para dun sa flow ng program...

naisip ko lang baka want nyo mag pagawa eh tumatanggap po kami ng customized program...(hehehe)...thanks ke pareng morlan...cia po ang napakiusapan kong mag print nyan noon...

pero ikaw nga ni bayaw tops - that is "owen sarmiento's touch"...lavander, violet, pink lilac - yang ganyang variation na kulay kc ang favorite ko (kaya pink lilac ang motif) nung mag isa pa lang na nangangarap ikasal eh kako want ko sana is yung ganyang kulay...fortunately may na-download ako na para sa cover...konting edit through Photoshop (buti naturuan ako noon ni Jeross-yung taga BSU), download ng font by Sir Eric (boss ko sa AMA, kasama ko na ngayon d2)...ask ke jheng ng flow ng Christian Wedding...then e2 na...my touch...

this is the front and back page pag finold yung papel...

this is the centerfold...(ciempre tinutupi sa gitna kasi center - fold)

baka sakaling mapanaginipan nyo na kami ang gumawa ng invitations or programs para sa kasal, kumpil, binyagan, birthdeyan, beerdeyan, anniversary o anni-beer-sary....kontakin nyo ko or sinuman sa MSDOS...

enigma and riddle

2005-08-27T06:12:00.000-07:00

this is a poem written for me by jheng 3 years ago...August 8, 2002....the time we are facing the great challenge...time of denial and time of survival...this is the poem we placed on our program on the wedding - which i'm planning to post later...

You & Me (Enigma & Riddle)

Here I am, wondering staring at the vast space,
facing an ENIGMA -which is YOU...
Trying to set my mind free
At least once in a while ,yet i cannot...
because wherever i look, there you are
And whenever I close my eyes you keep on hunting me...
together with the memories we've shared
and the vision of what's waiting for us ahead...

There you are staring at the vast space,
facing a RIDDLE which is ME
trying to answer your questions
to at least lessen the weight in your mind, yet you cannot...
because wherever you look there i am
continuously feeling your heart...
together with the memories we've shared
and the vision of what's waiting for us ahead...

I feel secured when I'm in your arms
You became strong when I am at your side,
Together we are able to create situations
And make this possible ...for us.

Maybe...

The ENIGMA shall just continue to be there
and the RIDDLE shall remain unanswered
for both our life will be incomplete
once I've solved the ENIGMA
and you've answered the RIDDLE

bente sais

2005-08-26T16:47:00.000-07:00

before matapos ang maghapon, buti na lang at nagka time na mag blog...ilang araw din akong nabakante eh...

well, eto 26 nga pala today...meaning 2 months na iba na ang aking civil status...kung dati eh single without sidecar..ngayon eh married na...biruin mo nga nmn 2 months na kong may asawa...we got married sa Blu Roze Farms, Parks and Wildlife, Brgy LodLod Lipa City last June 26, 2005.

teka, maikwento ko nga pala kung pano kami naging... eto yung love story nung kinasal kami...isinulat ito ng bubuwit minsan isang araw sa buwan ng abril ng habang nasa gitna ng atlantic ocean at nag se service... yung title eh sa isang araw ko na i explain bakit ganyan..

The SOLUTION to the ENIGMA and the ANSWER to the RIDDLE

Where you die, I will die and there I will be buried, May the Lord deal with me be it ever so severely if anything but death separates you and me. This is written in the Book of Ruth Chapter 1 Verse 17, a piece of covenant that Owen and Jheng hold on to since day one.

Falling in love is not a matter of choice; it is a matter of CHANCE. It was not as easy as it is but in fact a roller coster ride to destiny. It may sound as corny as it is, but it happens in real life. You may have seen it on Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in “Sleepless in Seattle” or may have heard it over Joe D Mango’s Love Notes, but it is real….
It happened, and it really was, as what Tom Hanks said “AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS MAGIC”

A magic happened three years ago, both of these newly weds working together for AMA Computer College – Owen working as instructor for less than a year and Jheng as Marketing Assistant for nearly 4 years. On 2nd week of April 2002, Owen was temporarily assigned at the Marketing/Admissions Department. Working together on the same department for almost a month – they discovered something special within their selves, something appealing to the heart, but staggering to the mind… searching for students to come and enroll at AMA, what they found is the spark of this great feeling of the desire to spend the lifetime together

Actually, they had a glimpse of this place sometime in May, three years ago, after a series of marketing activities with Mondel and Sheryl.

But it was one rainy Saturday afternoon, 29th day of June 2002, Owen and Jheng went for a ride, a ride leading to a certain CRYSTAL Beach Resort, a ride they never thought will be possible during that time, a ride leading to millions of questions that will make them sleepless at nights.

kaya naman after ng aming kasal eh d2 kami nag punta...kasi yung first naming napuntahan three years ago is Crystal Resort...then mega hanap ako sa internet noong bandang May 2005 ng place sa aklan na may Crystal on its name...

then tuloy ang accounts ng aming love story...

But facing a lot of adversities at that time, singing Phil Collins “Against all Odds” and contemplating Barry Manilows “Somewhere down the Road” - the mind boggling question of “HOW and WHEN” is something Joe d Mango can’t think of…The experts have tried, the experienced friends and relatives have tried, but nobody ever arrived to a concrete and concise solution…indeed an ENIGMA and RIDDLE….

You can sense the great trials these newly wed have had by reading the poem at the back of your programs. (i'll post it tomorrow).It was written by Jheng sometime in August, when the going gets tougher each day.

They never thought, and who would have thought, that after 3 years, on exactly this same place- Owen and Jheng will take the vow of marriage.

Thanks to God for keeping them together through these tough years, these tough times….and many thanks to great friends (you can see their names on the program) for keeping them together, keeping the great spark of love and passion burning in their hearts… Thanks to all of you for making this day possible – for solving the ENIGMA and answering the RIDDLE…

Tested by time, tested by challenges, Owen and Jheng are holding on to you…to continue pray for them - as they begin a new journey, a new beginning, a new world of being together.

its been a great time to remember all those days...yung tipong 2 years na tago kayo ng tago...yung parang kayo na di kayo...na tipong kayong dalawa lang ang may alam na magiging kayo...na mukhang gusto kayong tanungin ng officemates nyo kung”kayo ba?”…na madaming alibis…madaming beses na di alam kung asan kayong dalawa..missing in action at the same time… na maraming struggles…

na sobrang hirap…masakit…disappointing…na my only dream that time is to spend one day with her na legal kami, na from 8 am to 5pm eh malalaman ng mundo na “kami”…sabay kakain kay ka Mayeth (tindahan sa tabi ng AMA)…sabay pupunta ng CAEDO with HHWW (holding hands while walking) with pa sway sway pa…then 5 pm eh ihahatid ng bahay without any questions or reactions…yun lang kako masaya na ako…

then after a year na naging legal eh marami pa ring problema…times that you want to give up…times you don’t want it anymore…

but in the back of your minds eh andun yung worries na what ifs?...na minsan you want to let go...countless nights of tears of illusions and sorrow and disappointment...

kaya nmn po during our wedding, I can’t help but cry while I was singing a song she said she won’t walk on the aisle without me singing it…sabi nga ni Marhgil eh iyakin daw pala ako…but the truth is, all the hardships, the sad moments and our struggles on the past eh nag flashback during that ceremony kaya those were tears of joy…super contented…super saya that we conquerred it…that love conquerred it

buti na lang madaming berks..madaming friends and families to hold on...and ciempre the love for each other bonded with faith in HIM...

to you my dear...Happy 2nd month Wedding Anniversary!!! :)

Note: pictures are linked to our album....

let go?

2005-08-23T01:08:00.000-07:00

Ngayong umaga pagka open ko ng pc, a friend na itago na lang natin sa pangalang Lonely Girl just buzz me sa YM

Lonely Girl: kita ko blogs nyo *******
BUZZ!!!
Lonely Girl: hehehehe
Lonely Girl when is d ryt time to let go?

I was caught surprise…time to let go…I don’t know why I was asked about that…ako ba si Tiya Dely o Helen Vela…uhmm di nmn cguro…for sure di rin si Ernie Baron…pero teka…napa isip naman ako kung ano isasagot ko

Neo: let go..? uhmmmm
Lonely Girl: yah
Lonely Girl: wen?

Siyempre, based on own experience…eto ang sagot ko sa kanya

Neo: wen the guy ask to let him go...

Sa akin kasi eh if somebody is not happy on a relationship, then let her/him go…Don’t force yourself to anyone you don’t like anymore….

Lonely Girl: ah gnon
Lonely Girl: wat f he doesnt say a word
Lonely Girl: dont even got an idea nga wats on his mind
Lonely Girl: ok the man, was him
Lonely Girl: gets nyo na..
Neo: then ask
Lonely Girl: ask him...
Lonely Girl: gosh
Lonely Girl: d ko yata carry
Lonely Girl: my point nmn kc is not mkipgbalikan, coz i know he's not ready pa 4 comitment, gusto ko lng paalam kc nhihirapan na rin me na itago feelings ko
Lonely Girl: d b macra frendship nmin now na ok na ok f il ask?
Neo: nde nmn....basta may moment yun na yun

Ang lakas ng loob ko magpayo…Ewan nga ba, sabi nga ni Rachel (friend of mine at counselor during college days) , bakit ganon…pag ikaw yung nasa situation eh hindi mo alam ang gagawin mo. But if the same thing happened to a friend you can easily give the same piece of advise…na kesyo ganito gawin mo, ganito kasi yan, madali lang yan, eh kasi naman ganito ganyan…Sounds familiar?

Then my friend asking for advise – mukhang nakukumbinse ko na (hehehhe)….

Lonely Girl: ok i will
Lonely Girl: sbi nyo eh
Lonely Girl: kesa d ko nasabi db?
Neo: uu mas mabuti na yung masabi kaagad
Neo: want mo isulat ko sa blogs...then iparead mo na lang sa kanya....
Lonely Girl: ano nmn isusulat mo?
Neo: na meron akong friend na ganito ganyan
Lonely Girl: ah
Lonely Girl: ok
Lonely Girl: galing cge ba

I don’t know if this post will help them pag nabasa nila….Let’s just hope and pray…
Tama kaya yung mga pinagsasabi ko ke Lonely Girl…Ah ewan, bahala na…parang sa tingin ko tama nmn yun eh…

Kasi nabasa ko na yung solutions dun eh, 5 o 6 years ago, mga linya ni Joe d Mango…then kahapon lang eh na refresh through Meyms (thanks sa link).

Sa makakabasa, kung ikaw yung tinutukoy ni Lonely Girl eh “the ball is now in your hands”. The decision is for you to make.

Sa mga fellow blogger, I dunno kung tama ba yung sinabi ko ke Lonely Girl….rachel kelangan ng second opinion mo…si bayaw tops or si ycel or c marhgil kaya?....pre, help the girl…

august pa lang..ang tagal pa ng opening night ng NBA... imagine gumigising ako ng 2 am makapanood lang ng games... noon yun...ngayon sa website na lang me nag-aabang ng mga kwento ng mga games...at paminsan minsan updates nina pareng morlan...

who could be the next season's champion...

i guess eto pa rin ang bet ko... for the West eh San Antonio Spurs pa rin (taga jan sina jay-R)...bukod sa leadership ni Tim Duncan and rumored na pagdating ni Michael Finley....at ngayon pa na ala Neo ang dating ni Manu

sa East eh according to athleticsm at experience at resources siempre eh it would be Miami Heat... well, an avid fan of the dazzling passes and parade of exhibition shots of Jayson Williams...exciting sigurong makita na point guard si Jayson then shooting guard si Dwane Wayde...tapos pag nagmintis dunk ni Shaq...then sasayaw si Antoine Walker

pero exciting din na makitang nagbalikan na ala Tirso Cruz at Nora Aunor si Kobe at Phil after a "controversial book of Phil saying that Kobe is uncoachable"

well...the Nebuchadnezzar is running on Opening Night of the Battle

neo wants to say thanks

2005-08-19T09:53:00.000-07:00

2005-08-17T00:12:00.000-07:00

here we are again, reminiscin.... paminsan minsan masarap maging mag isa...yun bang tipong magpapa kasenti ka..yung tipong nasa gitna ka ng tulay...or nasa may pampang...or tipong settings ng tabing ilog...tapos para kang nag e- MTV....

wala lang...matatawa kang bigla pag naalala mo yung mga 5-10 years ago...na puno ng kalokohan...drama sa buhay...barkada...eto yung ilang bagay na masarap balik balikan pag nagkukuwentuhan

since wala kayong permanent room sa Pschology course eh pagtataguan nyo ang teacher, para pag in 15 minutes eh di kayo nagkita kita nung taecher, it means wala ng klase....
ambag ambag ng 10 pesos para makapunta ng South Supermarket sa Lipa or sa Sto.Tomas or sa Tanauan or sa San Jose....wala lang nmn, bibili lang ng palamig or tinapay na kababayan or spanish bread....or minsan pa eh napagkatuwaan na kunin yung leftover na pizza na kinain nung isang sosi na ale sa parang food court....(yung sunod na nangyare eh censored na)
around 2 am ng umaga eh from Batangas to UP Diliman....wla lang din...trip lang bumili ng balot at mineral water sa Seven Eleven
ang lunch mo eh 2 kanin at isang tortang talong pra sa Sunday makabili ka ng pinagiipunan mo na Tape ng Wolfgang at Razorback (pero hihiramin na wlang saulian ng kung cno cno) hehehehe
sa ROTC eh lahat gagawin para maka angat ka sa iba (payabangan kayo na mas madali ang ROTC mo...) anjan yung nag member ng choir (kahit na ni minsan eh di mo maririnig na kumanta), nag driver, nag radio man, nag hairdresser ka ng mga opisyal, nagsasakit sakitan ka pag ROTC exercise na...
di mo alam kung paano magkakasya ang baon mong 50 pesos kc may kelangan ipa xerox na reviewer, may T-shirt na pinabibili ang Mam para sa school affairs, hiniram ang bente kc mag iinom yung kaklase mong tomador sa tapat ng iskwelahan
may barkada ka na kasama sa bahay, meron kayong field trip that day...ang alis ng bus eh 3am. nung natutulog na ang lahat...ini adjust ng makukulit yung relo..ginawang advance...ang siste, nung maalimpungatan yung pinaka lider ng grupo nagulat cia kc halos 2am na, nid pa mag prepare....natural - eh mag mamadali ang ale kc nga ma le late na...nagalit pa cia kc yung mga nuno ng kulit na mga kabarkda eh naghihilik pa at tipong ayaw bumangon....na sa bandang huli saka ibubuking na advance pala ang settings nung relo
dis-oras ng gabi eh hanap ng piyesa ng project kc umusok yung IC, takbo dito takbo doon pra lang may maisubmit kinabukasan sa defense panel
paagahan ng pasok pag exam para maiayos ang cheating arrangement este seating arrangement...
before dumating ang proctor eh everybody is singing "Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay, para sa sarili lamang"
lahat ng may ari ng xerox machine sa labas ng iskwelahan eh kakaibiganin kc bka dun mag pa xerox ang mam at sir, eh baka maka iskor ng isang kopya kahit nuknukan ng labo (may mga teacher na masyadong Parents as in magulang...sa kabilang ibayo, minsan sa Tingloy ata nagpapa xerox
na dinaig pa natin ang albularyo sa Tingga sa dami ng pira pirasong papel na naka singit sa ilalim ng arm chair for the sandamakmak na formula
during bigayan ng class card eh lahat ng santo at santa eh natatawag mo para lumambot ang puso ng mam at sir, para bigyan ka ng Gintong Tres....lahat ng pwdeng maging connection kay Mam at Sir eh hihimayin mo...(uhmm, si Mam yata eh napngasawa nung tiyahin nung pinsan na kapatid nung barkada nung syota ko....yung mga tipong ganyan)
hihintayin mo ang Mam araw araw sa school para malaman mo kung pasa ka, not knowing na nag tu-Tour pala cia sa Hongkong, next month pa ang balik
kakain kayo ng Banana Q sa plaza (kc kumita ang grupo sa pusoy or Lucky 9 kalaban ang higher year), then mag papa picture na tipong Forbes Park ang background
di kayo nag e-Aircon ng ALPS Bus papuntang Alabang kc mas mahal, kesehodang pagdating mo sa Zapote eh maitim na damit at ilong mo sa kapal ng usok
na paboritong lunch at merienda ay pansit guisado ng MGM kc sulit na sulit ang kain - damay na pati ang hapunan sa super lalaking hibla ng pansit nila

first blog never dies

2005-08-15T03:07:00.000-07:00

Having the thought of making my first blog….what comes to mind is of course try to write something I’ll always remember…

…half amazing (sounds like the moniker for Vince Carter), half human – that’s what I call her (coz only an angel from heaven can give what she's givin me), the joy of having her, my bestfriend, my partner, my life, my inspiration, my wife, my baby

I never thought and who would have thought that she’ll be mine…never in my dreams..

I’m so blessed to have her... I always tell her how lucky I am for having her in my life. God is so great for giving her to me. After 3 years of endless tears, it’s all worth it…

And for that I want to say…I love you so much baby, always remember the vow I uttered…” The covenant we had since day one will always be there, Ruth 1:17 – Where you die I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me be it ever so severely if anything but death separates you and me. Being 10,000 miles away doesn’t change my love a bit. I wanna grow old with you. I love you so much baby”

Yung love story eh sa isang araw na lang ha…

Sabi nga sa kanta “First BLOG never dies”
