Akala ko pa naman...

Just when I thought that the busy week was over, here comes another batch of deadlines to meet, tons of articles to write, and pasaway sources to deal with. Hay...I really want to get some rest but it looks like I'm gonna be stuck doing work work work again ...Hopefully this weekend would be my weekend--meaning no OT!!! Paul and I plan to stay home this Saturday then go to Santo Domingo on Sunday for the La Naval...Then maybe visit the Film Museum of Mowel Fund (if it's open on Sundays and if we ever find it!hehe).

Paul and I were supposed to attend mass tomorrow (First Friday) at 6 p.m. since I'm out by 5. We were planning to start this new "tradition" of hearing mass together every Friday. Unfortunately, my boss gave me an assignement. An event to cover, which starts at 6 p.m... I saw the dismay in Paul's face but he tried to hide it by simply smiling. Hay, buti na lang he is so understanding.

Since naudlot ang aming "date" tomorrow, we decided to splurge and just pig out today. We ate at Chef d' Angelo in Glorietta and I think we really over spent this time. 'Di na nga nagkasya yung mga order namin sa table, sobrang busog! burp!!!

*But before we got to Glorietta, naligo muna kami sa ulan, Grabe! It rained really hard this afternoon. Since our feet got soaked in water, we had to buy slippers and change (I bought this cute pink and white Havaianas-like flipflops).

Whew, what an adventure...

weekend nanaman, yahoo! looking forward to our lakads, hehe!

Pay day Friday
ivee

It's Friday again, woohoo!!!

AND, it's sweldo Friday! Yipee!!!

Hay, masaya nanaman ang mga tao at siguradong puno nanaman ang mga malls with the 3-day sales all over.

Hmm..so what have I been doing these past few days? Well, Paul and I did go to the La Naval fiesta last Sunday but we did not go to the Mowelfund film museum because it was already late. Maybe next time. We went to the Sto. Domingo Museum instead and guess who we bumped into…yup, Gener and Charlie, again. Basta mga ganyan talaga, laging present yung dalawang yun. It was a reunion again for the three of them...they were supposed to have a "meeting" pa nga for the Marian procession this December but we decided to sneak out and head straight to Pizza Hut since we're starved..

Going back, it was my first time to attend that festival and it was a very nice experience. Too bad we didn't bring a camera. Student photographers were all over the place, taking pictures of the images and the interior of the church. People were yelling "Viva La Virgen" and the kids were throwing petals at the images.

The image of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was the last to leave the church for the procession. She was adorned with immeasurable radiance that when I tried to take a picture of her using my phone, all that was captured was a flood of light and a little bit of her crown.

We were not able to attend the enthronement since it was getting late but we heard mass.

Then we ate at Pizza Hut nga…grabe, ang taba taba ko na talaga! Argh! Sandz and Kiko now call me CHUBBY. Wait lang kayo pag pumayat na ko, hmpf! Didibdibin ko na talaga ito!

What else…oh, I attended the opening of Citystate bank's newest branch in Mandaluyong, but I think that was last Friday pa…I just covered it and I am yet to write a release for it.

Ma'am Lizzie has been so busy lately for the supplement for the Gencars anniversary. But finally natapos nya na yun yesterday. I hope now we could focus on finishing the newsletter since BVR gave us an Oct. 20 deadline…can you believe it? October 20? Good thing I'm done with about 85% of the articles, just a few more editing and it's ready for publishing…

Sana after this week I really get my rest...

A week overdue
ivee

I can't believe I'm doing this entry in an internet cafe again. ARGH!!! my pc is working naman pero super bagal..plus, baka tuluyan ko nang masira yun, my sister will kill me! di pa sya tapos sa thesis...

moving on..

All saints' day is fast fast fast approaching and I'm readying myself for the "ang taba mo" comments that I will surely get from my relatives.  Of course they would also say "mas bagay sa'yo yang ganyan kaysa payat, tama lang" so that I wouldn't pity myself and be insecure.

I have been battling this figure problem for about, four years or so now and so far, I'm losing. I appreciate people telling me "hindi ka naman mataba ah" everytime I lament about how heavy I feel and how fat I am. Maybe for them I don't look fat. Madaya kasi yung figure ko, I have bulging tummy (which I despise) but my arms and my hands are so thin, creating the illusion that I am skinny.

Lately, however, more and more people are commenting that I have gained a little weight. Now this alarmed me because this means that now I really am obviously FAT.

I am not really obese or something. I'm not even overweight. My real problem is my figure. My "baby fats" are not equally distributed.

Thus, eating less isn't really a solution for me. What I need is exercise…and a lot of determination and discipline.

Believe me, I've tried working out but it didn't work. I know that nobody slims down overnight and it requires a lot of patience to really attain the figure that one desires but shouldn't there be at least slight improvement after I sweated it out? I mean, I worked hard…for almost a couple of months.

Hay, I'm getting sick of this feeling of insecurity and ugliness. I want a better me. soon.

ANYWAY, so here's what happened to me:

 

Friday, October 21, 2005

Had another fight with Paul. We were supposed to attend mass at Greenbelt but since we were a little early and hungry, we decided to eat first at KFC. I can't even remember how it all started...the fight I mean. We were okay when we entered KFC until we settled down to eat. The last thing I remember is that we were fighting on our way to the church. To make things worse, the mass had already started so we decided to just go straight home…tsk tsk tsk. I really hate fights! Oh well, who doesn't…

Bati na kami. Para talaga kaming sira. Anyway, we went to Megamall with his brother to watch Deuce Bigalow. Funny, but not really. Mababaw lang story eh. Sa bagay, comedy naman yun kaya dapat mababaw talaga.

After the movie we went to St. Francis Square. It was very disappointing! I thought it was gonna be a lot like Greenhills, but I was so wrong. Sa bagay, hindi pa naman lahat ng stalls open na, maybe in a few months it will start to look more like Greenhills na rin.

 

Sunday, October 23, 2005

Paul and I were out of town nanaman. We went to Dasmariñas Cavite for the Christening of my boss' grandson. I woke up really early again for this since we had no idea how to get to the venue. Thank God hindi naman kami naligaw. We were even early. I finally met her husband, who's a photographer, and the rest of her family.

Then, since we were "in the area", we decided to visit my lola. I was so sleepy I snoozed during the long bus rides.

Whew.  I am so looking forward to those two long weekends! Unfortunately, I have to be "on duty" on October 31…pero okay lang.

It's over

My temporary madness

My temporary sadness

The feeling of unrest

And supposed unending agony

I'm done

With this heavy feeling

With feeling uncertain

The agony of my soul

And this supposed self-pity

For this new beginning

My hopes are high

I kept my faith

And I am living

For the new tomorrow

I will be still

I will be calm

Nothing can shatter me

Nothing can break

My new shield

For Paul
ivee

We've been together for nearly three years now. All those years you have been my strength. My reason to smile and laugh, my joy and inspiration. Yes, there were times when I would cry. But each teardrop that I shed was worth it for it meant that you have again taught me an important lesson in life.

I am not certain whether you are aware of the things that I love about you so I made a list:

I love your sense of humor. Not too corny, but not too dirty. Just right.

I love your being so patient. Since I am a very high-maintenance girl that is what I

need the most.

I love your being fatherly. The care that you give me is more than what a boyfriend should be giving.

I love your loyalty. There is no chance that you would cheat on me, I am 100% sure of that.

I love your perseverance. No never get tired of accompanying me anywhere.

I love your being understanding. No matter how stubborn I get, you're still there bearing with me.

I love your being so mature. Since I am still a little childish, you are guiding me.

I love your being responsible. I can always depend on you on any situation.

I love your wisdom. I have learned a lot about life from you.

I love your honesty. No one can beat that.

I love your faith. You lead me to the right path.

I love your courage. You have been through a lot, but still here you are standing and facing the world.

I love your bulges. It's what makes you so huggable.

I love your scent. It's so fresh and clean.

I love your chest. It always makes me feel secure.

I love your manly hands. They handle me with so much care.

I love your smile. It brightens my day.

I love your dance moves. They energize me.

To sum it up, no one can ever surpass you or be equal to you. For you have given me unconditional love, despite my 'cruel' treatment to you. I know that the pain that I am causing you until now is becoming so unbearable but still you are there, loving me.

I just wish that you still find happiness in me…I want you to be really happy, because you deserve to be.

I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You
