On Old Friends

Had dinner last Saturday with my teacher group from La Salle. It surprised me how much I missed them. Anyway, we got to talking about how the older we get the less interested we are in aquiring new friends and the more we value old ones. This is true for me also, so when I do meet new people who become good friends I consider that a bonus. So I thank the universe for all that has happened and wait with anticipation for what is in store for me next.

On another topic, I think my adiction to TV is cured. Last night while channel surfing I came across some of my favorite shows. The ones that kept me up all night and prevented me from doing more productive stuff. I actually got board and shut the TV off to fix my room. GALING:-) Maybe my adictive energies are focused on other stuff. I still look forward to JOFAR though.

I'm feeling good about life...taking a major step soon...all is good. A little anxious about getting there. Still need to find motivation for work though.

Cranial Hyperhydrosis

My neck hurts, bit my tougue while chewing gum, and my head sweats too much. My body is reacting to my stress. I didn't realize that even just thinking of moving out could be stressful. Need a vacation:-) hehe!

Indoor Plumbing

This most stressful work week reached its peak, Tuesday when I got a call from my maid..."Cayi! Napotolan tayo ng tobig". I forgot to pay the Water bill! Kakahiya! Sanlo pa naman. "My Dad's gonna kill me!". Its one of the few bills I take care of at home...nakalimutan ko pa. Anyway, I rush home after work to check the sistern (it was full, phew!). So I pay the bill then call to have it reconected. To my think there is enough water for one more day. Wednesday, I get home..."Cayi! wala parin tobig!" and the sistern was 1/3 full, or 2/3s empty (depending on how you look at it). "day! wag ka munang maglaba at maligo ha" Haha! how mean...but my fathers wrath was formost on my mind. When my dad came home I pretended like nothing was wrong. Thursday, I take the shortest shower in the world, and hold my bowels till I get to the office...hehe! Praying to God that my dad dosen't run out of water while shampooing...Thoughts of that 80's commercial kept playing on my mind - "TUBIG!!!". DSJ suggested "tell him na!"...but I still felt I could get away with it if the water guy came that day. In the middle of my seminar I take a break to call the house..."ok na cayi"...suddenly the clouds parted, the sky turned bright and the world was right again:-)

I love indoor plumbing and I really need to move out na...

What to do, what to do...

...with my life. The worst feeling for me would be that this is the most that I can /could achieve. Ever since graduating from College the question I’ve been asking myself is what is my purpose, what should I do with life. Now I ask myself…there must be more than this. Of course now these questions only apply to career.

I want to be significant, successful, I don’t want to be caught up in this day to day grind. There must be more to this life…than just working for a living…

Or maybe i'm just not in the mood to work today or maybe its the HEAT! my sweat glands are tired na!...haaayyyy!!!

Leaving Vaguelandia

Funny how your profile on Friendster is somewhat the official declaration of your status. Hehe! Well for those of you who have been checking us out...KAMI NA:-) Our Vaguelandia vacation is over and I'm excited for what's ahead. If possible i'd like to take Lalaland with us though. WOOHOO!!! This is going to be a fun ride:-)

If you don't like mush...stop reading here.

With all the little credibility i have left let me just say that you are the most amazing person I know and I adore you to death. Trust me...this is going to work:-)

Shaping up in 2007

I bumped into a good friend the other day who knew about what had happened earlier this year. Amazing this person. We spoke briefly about how what I did was understandable and how everything will all turn out better for everyone in the end. It really boils down to making the choices that are right for you and living with it. This encounter really lifted my spirits and made me think about how things are shaping up and how I actually have much to be thankful for.

Anyway…

Despite a rather tumultuous start, 2007 seems to be making a turn for the better. I hope this realization doesn’t jinx it but I feel the need to be thankful for a lot of things. My office inbox is now down to 300 (from 1350), my projects at work are making progress, my room looks clean and organized, although all I really did was move my clutter to the other room, I’m down to 167lbs. (Only 12lbs to go to reach my ideal weight), and the weather in Vagulandia is the best its ever been. All I need now is more time and money.

Still a lot of plans for the year - moving out, travel, visit Mom, save money, pay loans, work on my 100 things to do list…all exciting and fun things. I’m watching less TV and living more.

I hope I can keep this up.

Sick in the Head...

Feeling extra mushy today, can't help it...so I privately break out in song:

Free In You
(Indigo girls)

A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying

A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss

And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away

But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free

Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

Frightening this happiness...
