The Saga that is Life

I'm back! (but probably not with a vengeance! haha!)
I had to get away for a while to clean up my act. Been messing up some stuff in my personal life lately and i had to start taking control again.
Nope, things aren't rosey nor perfect, but things are much better.

to my close friends here, just to share, i deleted my friendster & facebook accounts. then i deleted my multiply account and replaced it with a new one. something way more private than before. I'll be sending new invites within the week. or do send me via email your multiply address and I'll add you up.

i cleaned up my life and really took the time to understand and know the important people in my life. i realized that there are/were a group of friends whom i deemed important in my life, but they did not see me in the same light. so why bother, diba?

life is not about the quantity of people in your life, but the quality. and the past few weeks i have cleared with myself who these people are.

mark and i have also been talking a lot about how we want our lives to progress. and honestly? a lot has changed (in terms of our planning) and we are much happier.

my mom is away fro a 2 week vacation in N.Y. (sosyal ang bruha!) so our arguing has stopped simply because she is away, but i don't know if things will be better when she gets back. but i guess, as I've said before "Mothers, they can be your best friend and your worst enemy" I guess we will just weather this one out.

Funnily, when things were really bad, God gave me a few blessings along the way. I guess to remind me that He's just testing me. I'm not a person who is very vocal about her faith. But that does not mean I have no faith in Him. And i have also been more aware of His presence in my life.

I'd also want to thank my friends who checked up on me, specially Bunny (over YM) and those who left messages in my previous post.

I may have just gone through my quarter life crisis (albeit 2 years late) but at least I am aware of it and am weathering it like an adult should.

So as my saga goes on (oh, the drama! haha!) i continue to count my blessings at work and at home and ON WITH THE WEDDING PREPARATIONS! hahaha! :)

Happy Monday!

I'll be away for a while.

I'm going to get my life back on track.

To alleviate my sadness, I bought bright orange Malindi Crocs. (I would like to thank tinggayforever for the idea and the inspiration to finally buy myself a pair).

Then, tomorrow, am shopping at Charles & Kieth. They are on SALE!

my spirit is b/r/o/k/e/n

I miss my Lolo... his warmth and his wisdom.

Long Story

I had a crazy weekend. Top of the list, really, was Bunny's wedding. It's been planned since last year pa. But no. Of course. Work had to get in the way. I had a bfast event for 250pax! Shit! It was our quarterly business update... darn. At first I said, I can do this. But the weeks leading to the wedding were HELL. I know I sound like it were my wedding. But the thing is I LOVE getting ready for weddings! I love dressing up. Wearing jewelry and make up etc. I LOVE weddings! And the company - most specially this wedding!!! I was supposed to leave Manila at 9:15am.. but things were delayed so I left at 10:30am na! I cried in the car. That meant I cant enjoy my dress up time and I was sure to be late :( Can I add one more thing??? Mark forgot to bring black leather shoes. Anak ng !@#$%(&^#&^!%. We had to buy in a side road in Tagaytay City! grabe talaga!

BUT...

I wasn't late. And I was relaxed, by eh time we got to the church, which we both loved (sayang we paid na for our church, hehe :p

Then, we gave na rin our down payment for Taal Vista... someone kasi wants our slot... So we secured it na...

Then the reception. That really made my weekend. It was SO MUCH FUN! We were heckling (who cares if you're not allowed to do that at weddings??? Hahaha! And we stayed up late and we drank and watched the fog come in. And it was CCCOLD! :D

So, after my very relaxing weekend at Tagaytay... I realized, that I don't need to put up the SHIT i am going through in my office.

So here I am at Starbucks 6750. Job hunting on a Tuesday morning. Oh ha!

See what a wonderful wedding and weekend at Tagaytay can do to me??? Hahaha!

p.s. Bunny, nakakatakot naman ang expression mo when you told me and Mark "You're next" Hahahahahaaha!

But if all weddings were like yours, then I don't see why people would not want to hold one! :)

CONGRATULATIONS!

Next year, at our wedding, this photo below, will balloon to twice its size :D :D :D

weekend wonder

I'll be at beautiful tagaytay this weekend. finally! i super need a break :( super! but i have huling hirit, i have a breakfast event on Saturday! hay!

I'll also be with friends who make me laugh, so that's another thing that am really looking forward to.
I'll be at nurture spa for the first time and am roaring to take photo's!

i think i wanna live out of the metro na. how's living in Subic or the southern area sound like?

3 points

1. Sometimes, parents can be really unfair. I don't know if they mean to be... But sometimes, when they're really unfair... it super hurts :(

(Honestly, I can pour this out here in 6 paragraphs with 5 sentences each! ha! Pero I've shed too many tears the past month about this issue, kahit ago, pagod na ako sa sarili ko. Nakakasawa na.)

2. Some friends, decide to just not make you part of their life or a certain group. Its extra painful if you happen to really like that set of friends of yours :(

3. But, I've learned, that you have to choose your battles. There are some bad or painful things that you should try to fix... and there are times when you just just let go. Because there is a reason for all of this.

Just take it easy and let go . . .

(well, maybe except for number 1. pustahan tayo ilalabas ko rin yung issue na yan dito oh... hay...)
