Ok. The truth is I really do not know how to start this. But the thing is it just makes me laugh whenever I remember how some got confuse with my name... with my single word, 2 syllable, 5 letter name- Mercy!
FIRST CONFUSION: "Macy? Are you Macy?"
They sound the same. One letter missing. This one is acceptable. =)
CONFUSION TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL: "Jennifer? Did you just say Jennifer?"
On this one, I really had to laugh. (ahaha =p) And when did the letter M sounds like the letter J? (More laugh!!!) The man I was talking to confused Mercy with Jennifer. And I definitely had to spell my name for him. And when he finally got my name right, he was even able to throw some joke- "oh I need your Mercy today!!!"
(Laugh, Laugh, Laugh again!)
After few minutes of talk, I was about to say goodbye when he said "I know a lot of Mercy in the Philippines, could you be the one I know (and mention the last name.)"
(More..more..more laugh...)
The Point: No matter how bad or tiring your day may be, before the end of the day, Someone or Something would definitely make you smile... or laugh. (ahaha :p)
PS: Today I am Lucy!!!
Oh my... super laugh... :) what's wrong with me? or them? ahaha :P

May Masabi Lang!
Newspaper. Television. Radio.Social networking sites. The issue had been the main content of all these media. Ask anybody and they would probably know this news.
The issue---Popular showbiz personalities versus veteran news reporter.
It was a week ago (or maybe two? :P) when the incident happened. Actress Claudine Barreto and husband Reymart Santiago along with some friends were involve in an airport incident with news reporter Mon Tulfo.
Was it because of the Super moon which boasted its presence during those time? Or was it because of the color pink clothes that the personalities involved were wearing ? Or perhaps, it still boils down to a person's character, personality, values and attitude, whatever you want to call it.
But I am not writing to determine the root of the issue. So, let's stop there!
At this moment, I would like to take a stand. I know it wouldn't matter but we have the freedom to express, right? so I'm voicing out my opinion anyway. >:)
I would like to take the side of Mr. Mon Tulfo...Not because by heart, I'm wearing the same shoes as him, Not because I once walk on the same field as him, Not because by passion I will always belong to the same world as his- the world of media . But simply because, with the information I heard from news including those of some legal experts, I believe Mr. Tulfo had just been doing his call of duty.
The incident occurred in a public place, involves public personalities and an issue worthy of a news. Tulfo must have been simply fulfilling his job.
He must have acted for what had happened concerns the public, something that people must know. Why? Because it had something to do with the system of a well known airline company, because it deals with public figures and the most significant of all- because it deals with respecting human rights.
But I would just like to clarify that I have nothing against those showbiz personalities....so I am cutting this short...the lesson of the issue... True,we have the freedom, we have our rights but let us not forget that along with these come responsibility, limitations and boundaries. And for whatever our actions are, we must be held accountable.

Nightmare...
Etymologically, nightmares means unpleasant dreams, formed
from night, and mare, which is an old English term for a demon that
supposedly used to sit on sleeper’s chest causing them to have bad
dreams.
Someone who nightmare will move restlessly in his sleep. Sometimes in pain, moaning, screaming, coughing but could not get up. Nightmares are very disturbing, because it can make a person become afraid and unable to sleep again. But in some cases nightmares could also cause death. -(MedicMagic.Net)-
This is actually a frightening fact! And unfortunately I had just one.
9:49PM
I was in the sleeping quarters trying my best to get sleep. And then I fell asleep losing track of the minutes that passed by.
Then it all happened. I was in that the same room, still lying on the same bed. I knew I was dreaming.- a dream inside a dream.
I was forcing myself to get up but I couldn't move even an inch. It was like my whole body was paralyzed. I tried to call out the names of my friends who were also sleeping in that same room. But I failed. No matter how hard I tried, there was no voice coming out. I wanted to scream but there were only mouthing of words. No sounds at all. I remember calling my friend's name many times but she just wouldn't hear me. I was really afraid. Then, there were blurred images, faces rather, unknown faces like ghosts appearing in front of my face. That was really creepy! I knew at that time, I have to find a way to wake up or else, I would be forever trapped in that nightmare. I was so scared thinking at any point I might not be able to go back to reality, that I might not wake up, that I might die. :(
I was dreaming, a really bad dream. And I knew there's only one hope for me to wake up and escape from that nightmare. I knew that when the door of that room open, I could wake up.
There were more and more scary images and faces passing in front of me while I was still lying in that bed.
10:__PM
And then, the door opened. And right at that moment, I was awaken. I was right. My other friend, my only hope of escaping that nightmare arrived. I was expecting for her to come and when she did I was really relieved. I was truly thankful. Thanks Kar.:)
Looking back, I still can't believe that within almost 20 minutes or less, I experienced that horrible night mare. I still can't imagine that I would be forever sleeping in that room. I can not imagine myself dying on that room.
For whatever the reason of having that bad dream, I can only be grateful that I was able to wake up. Because I know that no matter how difficult real life may be, nothing can compare to all the wonders of life that is still waiting for me.

Drained
There was nothing.
But then, my heart keeps beating faster, and faster and faster. It was like a drum beating harder every time I tried to breath.
Then I wonder... maybe it would be right to just stop breathing, maybe the pain would also stop...
woah... it's 5:00 o'clock in the morning- no sleep yet and that was a crazy thought!!!
Maybe what I only need is a cup of hot milk or sundae, or marshmallows or just my fave hash brown!
Gooodmorning!!! :)

Don't You
Silent. Shy. Reserved. Introvert. These were the common terms attached to me by people whom i have just met.
Reflecting on all the circumstances that i have been, these are probably true.
I may have been the only one who remain silent. I may have been the only one who refuses to do the talking and story telling. I never wanted to be on the center stage, on the spotlight. I just don't like to be the center of everybody's attention. I believe I was born to be a listener. Yup, i listen to what one says. I could laugh at their jokes.I could even cry with their heart felt stories. I could be just there...simply listening. But not always the main character
.All the adjectives mentioned may be right. But at this moment, I would like to take a stand. The shy, silent, reserved and introvert me could be left at one corner whenever situation calls for the opposite me. (yes, when the situation calls only!!! haha :p)
I will not be specific on these entry. I guess that's just another problem of mine- i am a private person!!! >:) not talking too much, not sharing too much.
But the bottom line is you can not judge a person by your first impression. What you see is not always what you get. What you think is not always true. What you see may just be a part of a person's another personality.
The point is try to look on a different perspective. See different things at different angle . And the most important thing, as the old saying goes- don't judge the book by its cover. Cliche'? But always true!
to be continued.... :)

Insufficient
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. - John Burroughs-
5:24am:
With all the million ideas, hopes, dreams and aspirations that I have...each day is too short.
With the thousand of adventures and journey I want to experience...24 hours wouldn't be sufficient.
And with all the thoughts I have for all the people who really matter, indeed a day would never be enough.
6:05am (sleepy...)
