True Love Waits.

I trust in God's plan for me.

... And I will wait. :-) (Dahil paborito ko lang ang kanta ng Radiohead na True Love Waits)

Try Seventeen

Happy birthday to my one and only sister! Woootwoot! The baby is officially a lady na. Ay, di pa pala. Next year pa. But still... parang dati lang, nagsasayaw ka pa ng spaghetti dance sa harap ng bahay, ngayon, nakapaskil na ang pangalan mo sa UP college of Arts and Science bilang University Scholar. Ikaw na!

We love you, bebe girl. Stay sweet and continue to be a good girl. Wa muna jowa jowa. Nakakasira ng buhay yan.

from BV to GV..

Found my sanctuary in unexpected places.
Found my hero and possibly my non-traditional soulmate, too. You deserve the highest of high fives. Thank you for being awesome. :-) You deserve my virtual hug.

BFF(F) Time..

Is the best of times! I missed my girls so much, especially my good friend, LOlo, a certified Dubaiyuki. Great that she made time to see us even on her last night here in Manila. I will never forget our epic encounter with Stuart Little-- the sosy, Ayala hopping rat. Laurice literally laughed nonstop for the entire three blocks. Not just a normal laugh, but an uncontrollable, hysterical laugh while my knees turned to jelly. My phobia/ misery is the best comedic act for her. Such a good friend.

See you girls in Singapore in a year?

The Narcoleptic and The Kleptomaniac(s)

This is the longest happiness streak that I’ve had in a long, long time (pwera usog). I am so ecstatic, it’s scary. As much as I try to pinpoint the reason for this good mood, I can’t so I will just stop trying. I feel so at peace with my life right now, but at the same time, it seems to be bustling with so many possibilities and opportunities.

 

Now, if I could just sustain the energy beyond 8pm, that would be perfect. I know I said that the concept of jetlag is alien to me (except when I came back from Paris), but these past few days, I tend to fall in a stupor the moment it starts to get dark. This is not an imagined condition. Yes, it is totally understandable for me to fall asleep during the climax of Sherlock Holmes, not because it’s a boring film (it was actually good, at least for the parts I was able to see) but the soft seat, cold A/C, and expansive shoulder/arm of JF made it soooo conducive for sleeping.  But during waxing session? Believe it or not, I almost totally forgot how excruciating (not to mention humiliating) waxing is. And almost slipping into a coma during dinner with Sandy bear and JF, my two beloved buds? No, it is not good. I got to get my groove back because this is doing damage to my reputation of being a firecracker.

 

Anyway, I had dinner with one of my best friends last Friday over dinner and a glass of wine. We talked about updates on our lives, our work and of course, what’s happening around us. Surprisingly, it revolved around the topic of fidelity or lack thereof. Is it because I’m getting old that the issues we face are becoming more severe in nature?  Is this what being a grown up really means? A girl getting pregnant to another man, married girl/ guy cheating on her/his spouse, woman having an indecent affair with someone who is in a long term relationship. Serious, what is wrong with you people? Was there a memo that says it’s okay to cheat on their partners once they find themselves even slightly discontented with their relationship, because I honestly didn’t get that. I find it hard to believe that there are 6 billion people in this world, 6 effing billion and yet, people gravitate to stealing someone who already belongs to another. What about talking things out? Trying to make things work? The sanctity of marriage, for crying out loud?

 

I don’t want to judge. Some stories, I would understand (but never condone). But some, I cannot forgive. In any case, it’s their life and their misery in the end. It’s hard enough staying sane for one, what more if you stress yourself with the problems of others? I don’t have the energy for that, especially now that the sun is setting. For now, I’ll just focus on staying vertical.

The Reserved Space

Beside you, everything fades into oblivion.

The falling of leaves that reminds us that another season is about to end. The shuffling of people's feet as they hurriedly cross the street. The guileless laughter of children as they play with abandon. The coldness of the wind that embraces us and brings you another inch closer to me.

Beside you, I forget about the the harshness of the truth that we are two puzzle pieces that will never ever fit.

That is why I chose to wait.

To wait here until this space has forgotten how we used to warm it with everything that you meant to me.

I Am Claiming 2012 As My Year

I just got back from a long and well deserved vacation. I laveeet! I was able to purge ill feelings and having a time off with my normal life somehow cleansed all the bad vibes away. I am so ready to take on 2012.

And as a big shebang, I will be moving! Yes, MOVING! Not residence, not company, but blog. Start fresh and leave all the drama of past years behind. 2012 will be my "All Out, Todo na To" year. I have so many things lined up and I can't wait to rock the boat. Blast them, status quo! I will surprise everyone, including myself.

Let's do this!
