Right this moment, still can't believe the weekend is over just like that *snap*. It was quite productive/relaxing for Jax and I though. We managed to:

1. Finally check out the gig of this acoustic band we've been eyeing and have decided to get them
2. Pay 50% downpayment to Casablanca
3. Scout for churches in the Tagaytay area (to no avail! huhu... nobody seems to agree with the set-up we're proposing!)
4. Bond with my super kulit but uber cute nieces
5. Have a long chit chat with my cousin and his wife over al fresco dinner at their home
6. Update our guest list
7. Swim (got barely 6 months to get my color back!)
8. Check out model houses
9. Drop by my favorite buco tart place (yummmm!)
10. Meet up with Jorge (unexpectedly)

It was a nice way to spend the weekend, and I really hope we could have more of this in the coming months. Next weekend is bound to be very busy: Karting on Friday, Race Wars in Clark on Saturday, and Slalom at Festi on Sunday.

It's all coming back to me now - all that I have always been, which I left behind (unknowingly or deliberately) for years, for that one thing I chose to be my life.

At the end of a very long sh*tty day, you just want someone to be there to hold your hand and tell you that everything is gonna be ok. Yes you might not need the sympathy or expect to solve the problem right then and there, but you just like to be listened to while you whine. The thought that someone is there to support you, lift your spirits up, and ready to shut down his world for a while to focus on you is more than enough to make you feel better.

Lines (& cliches) from way back during our Ratskee days. It still makes perfect sense! Back to the basics...

1. Waiting pays off.
2. Deal with it.
3. Love is a strong word.
4. Action speaks louder than words.
5. Everything happens for the best.

...as in kilig factor.

I can't remember the last time I felt that. And more than ever, now I realize how important it is to keep the fire burning. It's like I've been telling myself that it's nothing for so long. But you know what, deep within, at the end of the day, no matter how much she tries to deny it, every girl still wants that, even if just once in a while.

I've been awake for a while now
You got me feeling like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I going to say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go

Wherever you go
I always know
'Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while

I'm alive! My blog prolly has molds by now. But anyhoo... I kind of missed blogging. Been too busy with WORK, wedding preps, and psycho-analyzing, etc. etc. etc... What I've been up to lately? Spell STRESS.

Big Boohoo!

I haven't felt this much pressure at work ever before. For almost 2 months now, I'm reporting to 2 bosses with very different styles. Imagine juggling two functions with a never-ending list of have-to-do's - a big issue blowing up in my my ex-boss' face, a delayed project, a new project, an upcoming audit, turnover with my very late replacement... Waaaaaaaah!

They say when it rains, it pours. Right now it's pouring really hard. Talking about my job doesn't evin begin to describe how low I'm feeling now. I know life has to go on. But right now, I just want to take a minute to breathe it all in.

On a Post-It on my desk for days now (from Grey's Anatomy):

Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.
