The Girlfriend Diaries: The Boyfriend is Back

Al has been bugging me to get back to writing. He probably thinks i have plenty of time and rather than bugging him once in awhile he said i better put them to good use. Not that i've got plenty of time, duh?! Work alone is a handful-umh, i just make it a point ot make him kulit cos i like it like that tee hee. And i've been really really contented and happy and delighted just being a reader, what with the fanfare that Sugar&Spice, Frannywanny , MommyFleur and JinLovestoEat brings me everytime i start the day checking out their latest posts..happiness :)

Anyway, going back to writing once in awhile is not gonna hurt, would it? I felt the need to vent about a major crisis in my life just recently but i figured i'm not gonna do it here 'cause that will just radiate negativities and that would suck big time. Wag na lang..i'll just keep it myself. I wanna keep the happy and sunshiny vibe that my favorite bloggers are spreading in the world wide web, i dont want to be an evil monster..let's leave that for my nega FB followers and stalkers :D

Anyway, i just wanna share something Al and i "conquered" lately. So for 10 years that we've been together, we've never really been away-as in technically and literally away from each other...yung tipong hindi kaya i-taxi. We're used to being around each other 24/7 but then call of duty-he has to leave and sphere head a project up in the valleys so he has no choice. I was a crying hippo for almost a week, sleepless nights and all that. I can just imagine the pain of those people in LDR's..ayoko!! Hindi ko forte yon!! I'm a visual person, i want to see and feel that i'm loved, at some point i felt like it was the end of our 10 year pinuhunanang relationship. But Al made it sooo bearable,his efforts are hindi matatawaran. If he can fly every night to be with me he would.. Anyway it's 6 weeks of pagtitiis and it's all worth it naman pala. i felt like i'm a better person hahaha..mas tolerant, mas understanding and less immature.

So after of 6 weeks of being away, the first thing we did was pig out. Ang taba na pala ni Al. He looks better with a little more weight. I think i love him more, pero wag na aalis ulit hun ha please?:)

Ayan, nasabik yata sa restaurant si Al, 2 Restaurants(Italianni's and Chilis) in 1 afternoon, keri niyo ba? No wonder dami nag cocomment about my being spoiled kay Al e. Hay naku, mga froglet, imbey all you can. That's just food, next time nyo na i-save yang bitternes nya ako if kabuhayan showcase,house and lot and pa-car na ang binigay ni Al saken. :)

PS: Chilis is my forever love, best service and yummy yummy food ♥

50 Shades of Grey Tagalog Version: My Eyes Roll!!!!

Yes, my eyes roll..in horror that is!!! Seriously?! Hahahahhaaha!!! I can't stop from laughing not only 'cos i find it baduy but i was kinda sorta annalyzing it in my head-translating it in Tagalog. Hihihi^_^.

I've spent sleepless nights reading the FSOG series..filed a Friday OFF from work and ditched my usual Fri-date and Satur-date with Al, slept a maximum of 2 hours a day, shut myself from the outside world and succumb to the serenity of my bedroom  so i can finish all 3 books from Thursday to Sunday-i know it's not healthy but that's just me. :p Imagine my victorious smile when i finished it almost 3AM of that fateful Monday morning. A little too over the deadline but hey, not bad :p

I almost memorized each line cos after reading it from e-book, i listened to it's Audio version..from going to work, in-between work and leaving work :D And after a couple of weeks when it's finally available in a 3pc set, i bought paper back copies. Addict much! :p

So yeah, point is, i still can't get over that they have it in tagalog. Al and i was teasing each other throwing CG lines in tagalog.. Now excuse my audacity but the worst was... "'Wag mong kagatin ang labi mo Anastasia, kund hindi sisibakin kita dito sa elevator" Bwahahhahahaahah!!! It sounds so wrong. I died in shame, horror and uhm more shame and  horror.

I haven't read the tagalog version, and have no plans too but if you've read it. Enlighten me please?! :p

Mehehhee

MY.THOUGHTS.EXACTLY.

Of Modesty and Privacy

"Just a lil more love and a whole lotta patience"

was all i can blab on my Facebook wall for what seems to be an eternity of shutting up.

I NEED. WANT. LONG. CRAVE AND MISS MY PRIVACY.

I am so close to getting cranky and letting everything out if not for my sense of modesty.

Oh Lord help me!!

Babble babble...

Should i start writing my thoughts here again? I am so inspired by my new favorite that im considering writing my bubble thougts through cyberspace all over again. Leaving my tumblr for instagram posts and reverting back to blogspot for more drama :)

Hohumhh.....

Now i'm thinking?! ^_^

New Work;New Friends;New Learnings;New Beginnings

August 25 2011- After what seemed to be a lifetime of being unemployed, after trying to visit as much places as i can and after breaking the bank just to get by each and everyday of bumville i finally get to sign some piece of paper and allow myself to be useful rather than useless.

It was pretty fast and unexpected- i'd like to believe that the universe tried to conspire and give me signs of what it has in store from me and my future. And the hints?! Hmmmhh...back in my short and sweet vacay at Hong Kong i fell in love with this bar called Shore,situated somewhere in the middle of Central district, nestled in a cozy high rise building just enough to get a good view of the city and a nice peak on some more sky-scrappers. I had goosebumps when the lift opened to a chic and elegantly designed interiors then raised some more hair when i stepped out to the veranda. The place was amazinggg! Would definitely go back when i visit Hong Kong again. 2nd hint? On one of my monthly dates with my girlfriends, we decided to hit Piazza at McKinley-i was a first timer and i have nothing but good raves about the place. While walking along the streets of McKinley,out of nowhere i blurted a side comment and said-i'd love to work here,anywhere in this area,it's peaceful here unlike ayala.(Note that this is a Sunday). Monday came and i got a phone call, an interview invite so i went..it was at McKinley(yess!!). So i went thru the usual shenanigans- tell me somethin' about yourself,walk me through your resume blah, etc etc...i wasn't so sure of what i'm getting myself into. All i know was that i'm there for a job interview,try to give it my best shot-if not then go back home and be a bum some more,perhaps it's not my time yet.

It all happened very quickly,all i remember was that i'm a bit stressed of what seemed like a lifetime of interviews and phone patches in a span of an afternoon-it felt like i was talking for centuries and all i wanted was just to get out of that building and breathe some fresh hair. All of a sudden this tall,blue eyes some sort of an expat guy with a weird accent welcomed me with open arms and said "Welcome to the team!!". Uh-oh..did i just heard him right, my thoughts were too tired to process what he's trying to tell me but i felt cold  and questioning stares attacking my way from a few people around.

Nothing seemed to sink in even after i signed the contract,submitted forms here and there and showed up for the first day of training. None of it sinked in until i was given the actual task and was left to get along with a bunch of what seemed back then a not so friendly bunch of people.

Fast forward to a month after, the few people i felt awkward most turned out to be nice after all. The "just another job" impression i have was oh well..completely the opposite. For the first time in my many years of working,it felt like i really have a real job. So real that the thought of losing it someday gives me panic attacks. It's different here, people actually "talk"-talk not just for the heck of it but they talk full of sense. People here love their jobs and value what they do and that made me all the more love what i have. Witnessing how people around me value their job made me realize how lucky i am to be part of this team. Work-life balance is awesome and at it's finest. They know how to have fun and they know how to work hard. So many things made sense after a few month with these people i now call friends and i can't wait to spend years and years of work-life friendship with them.

I L♥ve my job!Ü

random thoughts 9/10/11

When you’re not that in to it anymore you just can’t find the strength to argue,prove a point and work it out, you just take a deep sigh and a big back step then walk away. It’s cos you know some where deep down there, things will never work out your way. ‘Cos you know that no matter how hard you try to pick up and mend the broken pieces…the scars of an ugly past will remain and you can never look at it the same way you did before. It’s no turning back cos if you do..you’ll end up trapped in a point of no return where misery will be your best company.

Blah!

Things are always easier said than done anyway.
