the final set

I was hesitant to write down about my soon to be experience*...

watching the final set of the eraserheads.

i'm not just a fan, i am in love with them. with ELY BUENDIA most specially.

if there was one band/artist i could say that i truly loved... it is definitely the ERASERHEADS.

I could no longer wait. I might cry again, but I am looking forward in seeing them perform, have fun and see them do what they do best.

I am sure that everyone who will be there, just like the first time are all fanatics. All good vibes i'm sure. Everyone singing along to every song they will perform. Sarap ng feeling na the person next to you, although you don't know each other, while singing along, you'd smile at each other kasi you both understand how you feel. How ecstatic you both are.

and to ely, marcus, raimund and buddy

THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR PERFORMING TOGETHER AGAIN AND FOR THE MUSIC YOU'RE SHARING TO US AND TO THE FUTURE GENERATION. AND ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE THIS IS AN ADVANCE 26TH BDAY GIFT TO ME. ROCK EN ROLL!

and to our venus, when they sing MINSAN you know it's for you.

sana'y wag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan, at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin na minsan tayo ay naging tunay na magkaibigan

*(because i don't want naman people think i'm being mayabang, but i can't help the excitement)

in my own little world

the generation gap (my version)

Whenever i see teenagers, high school people. I always say (silently) "thank god i was not like that"

But today i just realized, they're actually great. They actually make me laugh, and if you think about it, we were one of them years ago. Yun nga lang, we had cellphones much later on.

A very young wise man once told me "our generation is better than our parents".

So i've realized, Its not that i don't like the young people. I just can't accept the fact that they're better, they have iPods, their websites and could get away with any fasyon. They're different, yes. And they're better.

So now whenever i overhear them on the escalator, or when we both get coffee at starbucks... i could now smile and say....
yah yah yah.... OMG!

final words

1. I heart Starbucks. I'm never gonna attempt on trying on other coffee shops. period.
2. When i have kids of my own, i'm gonna raise them here. When they're 18 and want to move out or go abroad. I will be fine with it.
3. I LOVE books. Might get tired of them sometimes, but i'll always go back.
4. My first love is writing, and i miss writing on a daily basis because of work and because sometimes i forget to write down my ideas/views agad.
that is why before getting myself a new camera, I'm gonna get a laptop. the small one, the one that could fit my bags.
5. I will have more ALONE time this year, I'm gonna savor each moment of it and will never feel gulity of having it.

what i wore today...

black knitted turtle neck from landmark, gun metal skirt and pink matthews wedge

me

na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig ng tunay

the nth time im listening to ely buendia with the phil harmonic orchestra singing Ang Huling El Bimbo. the first time i heard it on radio, thursday morning, i had goosebumps. it is beautiful.
the ym relationship

today is our "date" day, kasi day off ko. since jog finally bought a laptop, we get to chat and see each other for an hour or two every friday since the start of october. thank god for ym. and because we start at around 12 and end 230 sometimes, i don't get to do anything na. hahaha. im tamad to go out na or what. except last friday when my mom asked me to meet her up in makati because she needed to buy something.
it's funny how much i miss him more now that malapit na siya umuwi. i cried the last time we talked, he's been gone 5 mos already and last week lang ako nag breakdown. i just miss his presence and i appreciate him now more than ever. i mean before naman i do appreciate him, pero now parang mas doble lang or maybe because i'm now more older and experience has taught me a lot.

moving forward

i have told only a few friends when i started going to greenhills to have my interviews. more so my work friends. so when it was final, i took the courage to tell them one by one that i'm moving. and when i filled my resignation september 30, with brian printing it, and chelo coaching me to do it now than later that day, i gave the letter to my supervisor.

i wanted to tell each and everyone from work about this little by little, and personally. i didnt want to just send them a text. Told chelo the minute i had accepted the offer, same with angel, sam. the next day, confirmed it with brian and robert. I actually made a list pa nga of the people whom i wanted to tell it to. Got the chance to tell anna, but she saw my letter na pala in jpl's desk, john who heard it from some of our bosses asked me "wala ka ba sasabihin sa akin?" had to hear it from me after eavesdropping (hehehe), told kristine the only person who endured and got used to my carino brutal style of friendship right after john, with the fear of them knowing thru others. i didnt want the people special to me know this decision through others. was a little successful in that goal, one more person left to tell to is Des. my havie partner, graveyard kasi, kaya sa phone na lang. i'm still planning though.

told jen, and joy through ym. eh kasi didn't know when will we see each other pa. told jho last week lang when we went out, and gian knew about it since the start, kasi naman every saturday kami mag park nun. and now fernie is about to find out through multiply.hehehehe

i'm moving and starting on november. i'm definitely sad about leaving these people i've been so close to for the past year. they've been the best people to have in work, work never felt like work, we always say it's just like highschool, only we get to be paid. after work, we get to bulakbol, go to the mall and go home past 10 p.m even if we have work the next day. we can't get enough of each other, chika time is never enough. after work, sometimes we still talk sa cellphone! hay! i'll miss them.

this move was a great surprise, it was unplanned and unexpected. the minute i got the call for the job offer, i knew i could do it, kahit na it meant leaving them, i have to adjust again, study again, learn a new route again, i was up for it.

my family, most specially my father was very supportive from the time i told them i got a call back. and as for jog, even if he was nt physically present, he would call and text on the most crucial and important parts of this whole process. maybe he has ESP, he called/text on the days when i was worrying to much, and when it was the waiting game (the time when you remember they haven't called when they said they would or when you think of when was the last interview you had with them and then said they would call for the next instruction and then you realize it almost the end of the week na pala and they havent called.) jog was always sakto. he would call 3 hours before my interview or he would text me to suggest things to do so i wont stress too much on waiting, or he would make utos to follow up his projects here. always on time dat silly guy.and more importantly, he always made me feel that i will get that post. more than the support i guess, jog has always believed in me. and although this new job means no VL for me in the next 5 months, which also means we have to postpone our plans of going out of town, i never heard anything from him. he told me later, he was looking forward for this trip pala, pero there's always time for that naman daw. *thanks!

my friend john

i have to share this. when i told john i filled my resignation na, he asked ...
john: ma ho-hold ba sweldo mo?
me: ata...
john: may budget ka ba if ever?
me: *big grin* wala
john: in case ma hold, let me know ha..
me: *surpised/touched* talaga john? thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! sabay suntok sa shoulders nya
i'm so glad i have that kind of friend, naisip niya pa yun. told jog about it nga and our other friends. katuwa kasi.

twilight the movie

got to see the huge ad for the movie in G4 last night. could not wait for it. i asked when is the tentative date for this, the lady from the ticketbooth said, first week of nov or 2nd week. could not wait!

the carlyles.gossip girl book 2

forgot the title but i saw thats it already out in bibliarch. leech. havent started in book one nga. pressure.

mascara

told jog kanina, to buy me a mascara (loreal or maybelline) when he gets a chance sa walmart or target. he immediately said. no way. "hindi yan importante"
but when we started saying our goodbyes and our reminders for each other, he said:

jog: in case we dock with a nearby walmart/target, sige i'll buy those mascaras. just text me the details kung ano yung specific na gusto mo.

hahahaha! see di mo ako matitiis!

also...funny e

when my boss talked to me after reading my r.letter he asked me:

jpl: are you and jog getting married na?

when i told ms.aileen(she's from another department but we really got close when i was the telephone operator) about the resignation...

miss aileen: kelan? magpapakasal na ba kayo ni bf? andito na ba siya?

other officemates who learned about this through i dont know how...

them: totoo ba? nag file ka na daw? bakit? papakasal na ba kayo ni jog?

sabi ko nga kay chelo, its funny. also flattering, mukha naman pala akong marrying-type.hahahahahaha

so as for now, im enjoying the remaining days i'll be with my dear work friends and that from the office glorietta,landmark and sm is just a 15 minute walk. Angel said "soon we'll be ur mcc friends" kasi daw ako madami set of friends, whenever i have lakad kasi na hindi sila ang kasama ko she asks, "sino kasama mo? your highschool friends? college friends?"hahaha

and i'm so inggit kina buding and dondi who are on their sem break. they're petiks all day.

ate: (asking buding when i arrived from work) so ano ginawa mo today?
buding: WALA. *with a huge smile to make asar* inggit ka na naman!

this is by far the longest post i've had. incoherent. but wtf. peace!


P.S to jho, joy and anne : i owe you ur bday gifts. i wont forget. ok?

miss saigon

no one has ever articulated her views about breastfeeding (more on that later), motherhood, marriage, politics and breast cancer better than Ms. Lea Salonga.

there is no doubt about her talent in singing and performing. but her first Marie Claire Philippines cover made me her fan when she talked about her opinions about everything that i think is important a woman should know or at least consider.and in this October issue, it is official. i'm not just a fan. i adore this woman.

i know its too early for me to say anything about breastfeeding, having no child yet, but since i was i guess 20, my mom who breastfed all of us (3), was always vocal and reminded us how important breastfeeding is. i still up to this day don't understand why some mothers choose otherwise. i have nothing against them though, but what are those breasts and milk it produces for if you wont give it to the little person it is intended for? aside from the bonding it creates between moms and babies, for me its so simple. breasts = milk = babies.

i was surprised that for someone like her who lived abroad, she is still very much Filipina. that's what made me admire her most. she deserves every praise, every compliment she gets.

she even said that on her 40th birthday she'll be getting her first mamogram, as her birthday gift to herself. which gave me an idea. i'll also do that on my 40th birthday. let's all do that on our 40th!

if you havent have the copy of this month's issue of marie claire. pls get one and lets all order the icanserve tshirts! i'll post the details later. the magazine is out of my reach as i write this kasi.

weirdo moments

moment #1
lunch

There comes a time in one's life that you enjoy having lunch alone.
I've done it quite a few times but it still surprises me that I actually enjoy it.
Some might find it weird and sad, it's also hard to admit, but I think once in a while a person should do this for self preservation.
Why?
Because sometimes you just want to eat all the carbs you could in peace.


moment #2
self-love?

is there really such a thing? i mean is that how you would describe the feeling of how important you are to yourself? or is that feeling the same as being selfish? I feel that way sometimes, i don't think it's being selfish, i think I just know my worth. (blame my parents for such confidence)

moment #3
paris hilton

do i like her?
i think i like her a little.
because I have downloaded her songs, i enjoyed her latest music video, and in the office i'd always be caught up singing "dadadadadada..."

moment #4
what to eat?

i don't know what causes this, but sometimes when I'm really hungry I don't know what to eat. just like today, when i was about to get out of the office to buy food I didn't know what I would want to eat. It's frustrating because you end up eating what is available and in the end you're not satisfied.

moment # 5
surprise

just when you thought you're doing fine, something happens and it makes you realize you're not.
jog has been out of the country for two months already, but it feels like a year already! i'll be waiting for eight more months, i'm guessing that would feel like years. he tells me i should enjoy, i do, but sometimes i couldn't.

these are just some of my weirdo moments. what's yours?

Why haven’t I touched my laptop

It’s heartbreaking. I cannot bring myself to see or even touch my most favorite thing. It’s so much like a break-up, you’d rather sleep and wish it was all a dream. I don’t know what happened but when I checked my folder, it was gone. Not even a trace. All my files of the past year and just about everything GONE! I knew I had to have back up!

So I want this all behind. Don’t ask anymore!

On things that made me a little happy

MC Donald’s Milkshake!!!!!!

It’s back! But only to a few of their outlets, I first knew about it through Seventeen. Aside from Eastwood, they now have it in Glorietta. So to those who missed this yummy treat, whenever you’re near the area, better treat yourself with some!

Cheap thrills

I once was asked how I score good finds. There’s really no right answer to that question. I guess you should just know the right places to get them and be there. Specially when they’re on sale! And if there’s something I’ve learned, if you see something you really want and you’re comfortable with its price buy it! Or when you find something that you like but will make you starve yourself to death till the next payday or allowance, sleep on it! If the next day you still want it and cannot stop thinking about it, then buy it!

Currently here are my favorite finds

my less than 500peso sandals, the headbands, earrings and cincher are all under 100peso

On other cheap thrills

Vitress Hair Spa
J&J Milkbath
Body Shop Lip Balm in Raspberry and Strawberry
Mimi Lip and Cheek Tint
Bench lip glosses
Bench clear mascara
Potato Corner fries in cheese and sour cream
Gummi bears, sour tape and Nerds
Meiji Macadamia
Bobbie cuticle oil
Bobbie Nail Polish remover
Tokyo Tokyo’s California Maki
Sarsi Mc Float
Carmex Lip balm

Oktoberfest and love bites

I wasn’t here last year, and the last time I remembered going to an Oktoberfest event was when I was in first year college. This year although my best gimik buddy is not around I went single to blue wave to have dinner and a night out with my girlfriends. The dinner was a treat from our October celebrators Anne, Jho and Vane.

I couldn’t help myself to miss Jog and think about if he was here, he would have joined us. It could have been our first Oktoberfest together. I had to stop myself from thinking about him because I didn’t want to ruin their night. But I knew they we’re watching over me just in case I break down. Girlfriends!

It’s hard to enjoy yourself when you know you want something else. It’s hard to be really happy when the person you want to be with is not there with you. It’s been two months since he left, but reality hasn’t really sink in. It’s difficult. It’s unfair. And I just want this year to pass, or have it forwarded to June 2007 already. I want it done.

Grey’s Anatomy
I’m watching season 2 on DVD, not done yet but I'm so loving it!

Life is too short to be…

The events of the past week made me reflect on how I am living my life. How I make decisions and just life in general.

It made me realize that life is too short to be angry all the time, to have baggage’s, to worry all the time, and later on have regrets.

I was such a worrywart about work and career, I was whining (yah, I admit that) about how it sucks but I never really have been doing my part. It was all about how this job is not for me and how it’s not really a real job, when in fact I should be thankful I have a job when there are thousands who are job less and would are looking for one as I whine. I still think I could do better, and find a more suitable work for me, but I guess I still have time to find another one in due time.

I was so worried about the future that I forget about living. Living for each day that it comes. I forgot about enjoying.

Jeline’s text was timely because it says:

A interview with God:

Man: What surprises you most about humankind?
God: That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up and then long to be children again… That they lose their health to make money, and then lose their money to restore their health… That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present such that they live in either the present or the future… That they live as if they never die and thou they had never lived.

I’ve been praying for answers and now I know why and I understand. That’s what my dad has been telling me…Live by the day. Because you cannot redo the past, you only live once and you don’t know what will happen next. So for the next few days I must remember what I wrote here and try to relax and enjoy the ride.

Peace!

so there i was in glorietta, alone

I woke up and wanted to window shop, midday I asked if anyone would like to join me but everyone else is busy, and so I went on with my plans. That’s one thing I know I’ve doing for God knows how long. I enjoy doing so because I don’t have to worry about someone getting bored or that I’m taking too much time on one shop, just the thought of someone is waiting for you makes that hobby of mine shameful, unless that person is very willing. It really relieves stress and takes your mind off certain things until the mall hours are over.

Good find

I couldn’t believe I forgot that it’s the time of the year when National Bookstore has it bookworms’ sale! It was on that same sale, 2 years ago that I was able to buy Bergdorf Blondes and Gossip Girl at 20% off, not to mention it earned me points. Finally, I got myself a copy of the Alchemist and although I’m not done yet, it really is a good one. I remember a girl from a bookstore in Oakland upon seeing me with the book she immediately said, “You should get that, it changed my life”.

So to all book lovers, the sale is up to September 17!

Sole Searching

I’m actually sole searching. I’m looking for an affordable black pumps. I found the style I like the problem is I couldn’t afford them, and even if I could I wouldn’t spend that much for a shoe. And there’s this one the right style and reasonably priced but they don’t have my size.

S.O.S.

don't ask

Panalangin ko sa habang buhay

Makapiling ka

Makasama ka

Yan ang panalangin ko

At hindi papayag ang pusong ito

Mawala ka sa 'king piling

Mahal ko iyong dinggin

Wala nang iba pang mas mahalaga

Sa tamis na dulot ng pag-ibig natin dal'wa

At sana nama'y makikinig ka

Kapag aking sabihing minamahal kita

I found the song!

**I love kamikazee's version of doo bee doo bee do

taking charge

So finally I got a call from jog. I didn’t realize I was so ecstatic, I was talking too fast and too much he laughed. I was just too happy to hear his voice again, to talk to him on the phone again. Although there was a second or two delay, it was all good.

In a span of 30 minutes everything about our lives for the past two weeks of no communication was covered…About my work and his, if he was eating right, and if his colleagues were nice.

I never imagined it would be like this, I mean I knew it would be hard like this but I never imagined it would bring out the best and worst of our lives. I realized a lot over this few weeks and a lot of good things have been happening. Things have been working out for me with work, and so is he. I realized how much I’ve become dependent of Jog and now I am back to being in charge again. Not that I was not before, but I guess Jog was so dependable so why not make use of it. hehehe I was not like that before but with him kasi I felt like I was being so taken care of and I knew he was there whenever. Ayayay! Saying that makes me even miss him more.

I miss him. Not that bad yet, I know it can get worse but I know I could handle it. Just like last year. It’s just 10 months!

I’m keeping myself busy these days, I need to be occupied so there is no chance for me to miss him. I’ve cleaned our room, our table, my magazines, my shoes, I did two weeks of laundry, I finished the first season of Grey’s anatomy, I made cheesecake, I had pictures developed, recopied and organized. Next on my list is to rearrange my cabinet, update my scrapbook, do some more projects, and bake cookies!

And by the way, this is my first attempt on Adobe Photoshop.

Have a nice one everyone!

love notes

Jog left last saturday,so today it's been a week. and I've survived. since he left I've only cried once.

I miss him. I miss doing things together-like having lunch, our phone calls, him greeting me good morning/ magandang umaga, his reminders, in short everything about jog.

But I guess what keeps me from being depressed, is knowing why he's not here.Knowing why he chose that carreer. I respect jog and his plans, his dreams. And for as long as I believe in him and his dreams I would continue supporting and loving the guy I met three years ago.

May the force be with us.


Change of Heart

I might take on the challenge. Im actually considering applying for the position, I'm just waiting for a pending application. If that won't work, I will be having Xmas party with MCC.


Technically Single

So jog asks me, "musta pagiging single".

Adjusting. Because now, I don't really need to ask jog's opinion, not that it doesnt matter anymore but because he couldn't give it immediately. I have all the time to myself, which i must admit I do enjoy. But i still miss having someone to make kwneto about how my day went, or someone I could find comfort to when I had a bad day.

Every Day We Delay...Day 33 ...1226 Innocent Civilians Killed

Dear friends,

Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in the bombings in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel and the death toll is rising every day. If the US, Syria or Iran get involved, there is a chance of a catastrophic larger war.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of international troops to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly supported by almost every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to stop the violence, but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it.

I have just signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime Minister Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our views in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure these leaders to stop the fighting. Go to the link below and sign up now!

With hope,

kaye

what's up with kikaye?

Hello world!

I’ve not been writing not only because I didn’t have so much to write, but I didn’t have the time as well.

What has happened?

Well, first let me share a shopping anecdote.

Last month during Glorietta’s sale I have chanced upon two delightful shoes.

And so I had the dilemma of which one will go home with me. I so wanted the bling-bling-pink-slip-ons, but the silver one goes well with everything and I could wear it on Fridays in the office. Both we’re in the same price range, but then a lady stepped on my left foot, and left a mark. We couldn’t take it off, and so I knew then which one has to go. I went home with the silver one.

That same night, I had dinner, coffee and breakfast with my two good buddies Joy and Romi. Romi and I havent seen each other in years, the last time I saw her was when a common friend had her debut. Imagine! So that explains how we ended up having breakfast at Jollibee Park Square.
Romi and I catched up, while Joy dozed off at starbucks at 3am in the morning.

at starbucks 11pm

at jollibee the next morning

BOrACAY

Finally, we came, saw and conquered boracay. No words could describe it beauty. And the next time I go there, I’ll make sure I could stay there for a week.

My dude-pare-tol’s birthday

We just had dinner and celebrated it with his family. I didn’t gave him any gift, just the same as last year. V. bad, I know. But I’m just so happy to be spending his birthday again, together.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOG!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!

On other birthdays

My good friend Joy turned a year older this month too. Her birthday reunited the best people I know, my high school buddies. We all missed high school life, all night we kept on talking about our kalokohans, our teachers, our classmates and the boyfriends who didn’t exist at that time could not do anything but to laugh also. Kahit hindi sila maka-relate. It was so nice to see them all again, and know that there are still some things that do not change.


the gang

Crossroads

I believe I’m in that time of my life wherein I wanna do a lot of things but I know better that I cannot afford to make mistakes that could jeopardize my future. I’m very careful making Plan A that could still accommodate Plan B, just in case.

I belong to the generation who wants to do a lot of things at the same time. We are over achievers, never settling for anything less. We want to be a photographer at the same time be the subject, we want to the have the cake and eat it.

We will never be contented in just being successful or being the best, we want to be successful, be the best and happy with what we are doing. We will not exchange our happiness over success.

I’m in a place right now that I really just want to take a step at a time, but that decision needs a lot of courage and support. I need to know that even if I screw up, there would be still people who would love and support me. I just need to know.

There are things in life that I’m still afraid to know, to discover. I’m still a kid who wants to believe and hopes there is really a Santa. Whenever I’m pressured or when I feel bad I run away from negative thoughts and memories. Yes, I’m still immature like that.

I am still a kid. I will always be.

what I miss the most in bumming around

Since I started working (if you call what I do work) I miss having my alone time, having all the time to myself. I miss making myself busy just for the heck of it. I miss forcing myself to do something, to make myself productive. I miss having control over my time, my life.

What I miss most is aiming aimlessly. I miss doing what I want to do my time. Now I’m tied up from morning till afternoon, my lunch break is an hour no more, no less. I have a 15 minute break that I have to break down to last me the whole day. It stresses me out!

From the time this eight-thirty-to-five-thirty job started I don’t have the time to go to the mall. Yah! I’m writing all these because I miss going to the mall. The simplest most relaxing thing, I cannot do anymore. To think now that I’m earning a little, and I could spend some of it to what I want, there is no time for it!

My 2 cents worth

I cried even before Elliot did when Ryan announced he was the one to go. I liked Elliot from the beginning; I thought his voice was something. During the first few rounds he was doing well. I think the pressure got in him thus the many times I’ve seen him just sing. He was very conscious to hit the notes resulting to emotionless performances.

I feel he’s a good man. I hope good things will come for him.

Katherine Mc Phee. Where do I begin? First of all she has a really good voice, she deserves where she is, plus she is pretty. But what saying things like “you’ve been really hard on me these past few weeks” to the judges appalled me. It was a test of character which Katherine did not definitely pass. Why couldn’t she accept criticism? She doesn’t deserve to be the next American Idol.

life in mono

My life is monotonous. And I hate the fact that I’m not doing anything about it, that I’m letting myself be in this situation. This is so frustrating.

I’m very grateful to have found a job after a month of job hunting, I’m very thankful to be in an established, well-known company, but I’m not just happy.

I am not happy because my work does not require anything from what I studied for four years. My work does not need me to be creative. I don’t get to do what I’ve always wanted to do. The only stress I get everyday is choosing what to wear for the day.

I’m back to where I was 6 years ago. I’m back in failing to do what I want to do. This saddens me, this stresses me out.

I’ve only been working for three months now, and during the second month I’ve already felt this, only was very reluctant to admit it even to myself. I didn’t want to seem ungrateful and mayabang.

Every day I wake up and I wish I could not go to work.

I know this has a purpose, which is why I am willing to stay until my probationary status.

And I must point out that I have learned a lot. I have learned a lot about myself and believe it or not I have overcome my shyness.

I don’t want to settle for second best.

American Idol 5

I’m very happy Elliot was not eliminated tonight, but I feel he will be in the bottom three next week if he continues to be monotonous like my work. He has a great singing voice, but unlike Taylor he doesn’t sing from his heart. He is much more concerned to hit the notes than to be able to express the song. Katherine Mc Phee is definitely going to be in the top 3.

Shoe story

I spotted really chic and functional shoes at people are people which could be worn for work and on days when you want to dress up. I should have gotten a snapshot of those delish shoes!

Caught the Rye

Finally. Finished the book, after a year of putting off reading it. It’s not on my favorite books list. For one, it didn’t really get my interest in the first few chapters hence the time it took me to finish the book. Although there were some quotable lines, still it didn’t give so much impact on me.

belated happy birthday to me

I cannot believe I’ve not been able to write, when in fact my work doesn’t require too much of my time, petiks nga eh.

Anyways, I celebrated my __th birthday last week. I just had dinner with my family, and jog. All of my friends greeted me thru sms, and that had been enough for me. Jog actually surprised me with breakfast, which he personally made, except for the pineapple juice which came from Mini Stop. And later that night, he gave me two red roses with a card which was for me the icing on the cake.

I’m actually getting bored with my job, to be honest. I’m not saying this because it’s a boring job, but it’s just that I feel I don’t get to be creative with that work. I cannot express myself. So after work, when I get home, I’m usually with a book. I read, I make an effort to read to take my mind out of the day that it had been and to stimulate all that is left of my brain.

All that I look forward to everyday is the thrill of dressing up. Sorry! I know its shallow for me to say that, but really that’s what just keeps me get up every morning.

And the thought of pay day, of course.

Speaking of dressing up, Mom bought me two new shoes, as she pities her daughter wearing the same shoes everyday. I actually wanted to buy it myself, during the midnight sale at Glorietta, but she immediately said it was her treat. So who am I to decline her offer?

So that has been my life over the past week.

The only thing I wish to accomplish is to lose some weight. I know I’ve done it before, and I know I can do it, only if I really put my mind and appetite into it, but I was thinking of not only eating right, but also do something healthier, like exercising, or even just walking twice a week to begin with. So wish me luck!
