Oh yes. its almost Christmas once again. Many have started doing their countdowns for the holidays. Myself included. I can't wait to spend the holidays with family and friends on the other side of the world. =)

Also, last September 2, I received my final grade for my last term in my Diploma studies for Financial Engineering. I didn't even want to look at my grade, as I feared that I would not make the cut-off. I'm glad I did. And officially, I can call myself a diploma-holder. Time to partey!!

Food makes me happy. If you want to give me a peace-offering, just bring me food and you'll be on my best side. So it is just fitting to start my weekend with good food. and lots of it. After learning of my good fate, we went to our friend's party and sang our hearts out. We didn't forget to stuff ourselves with the most delish molo soup and spaghetti. And downed it with some bottles of alcohol.

The next day, we really got ahead of ourselves as we stuff ourselves with different taste portions at the Ultimate Taste Test event in Rockwell. All in all there were 55 food vendors but we were soo full we had to give up at just having 36.

Indeed September brings about a happy mood in all of us. I hope this continues for the rest of the year. =)

after an interview, i met with a friend in a mall and went around window shopping. lately, i hadn't had the urge to go to a mall and browse through the different shops. maybe because i know i can't afford any of those things i see. so while she fits on a pair of jeans, i just sit and wait around and give my critics on how she looks. and then i got to thinking.. i'll just make a list of "to-do's" and "to-buy's" once i get my first salary - hopefully soon- to get me motivated. =)





1. a good haircut ( not from those cheap P50 salons, no offense. )


2. a facial


3. a relaxing massage


4. an out of town trip. ( anything that involves long hours with food )


5. a new set of clothes. ( casual, formal, new jeans )


6. new shoes ( cute flats, and a good-looking pair of heels.)


7. eat at new restos ( i'd have to make a separate list for this one)


8. a new PS3 game or maybe a controller. - so we could play versus games.


9. pay my credit card and phone bills.


10. and of course, add the rest to my savings account.

this is getting frustrating.





i never knew i'd be back in this state. and in a much more worst state i might add.




ive been in a few interviews for the past months. i get my hopes up, thinking that this is the job that I had always wanted. and then i wait a few weeks. until no status is given, and i just assume the worst. i got dumped. i try to look okay. i try to be positive. i try to live it up to faith. really. im trying.





=/

now every February, you'll be my VALENTINE.

long-term relationships entails compromises, a lot of patience and understanding, and most often than not you go into a boring routine.


until only love remains. only love gets you through. day in and day out.


they say its common. they say its okay. they say it comes with maturity.


BUT, honestly.. i miss feeling my heart stop beating whenever I look at you.


i miss gushing over how perfectly our day went


i miss daydreaming about that unforgettable kiss


i miss receiving unexpected 'love-notes' and sweet compliments


simply said, I wanna feel like a highschool girl again being wooed by her suitors.

why do i torture myself by watching wedding videos?

scouting reception venues and churches in the net?


browsing through wedding how-to's blogs?


coz maybe one day i'll grow tired of all these things and stop dreaming about it...

only a week has passed since the year started, and already im beginning to feel unlucky for this year.

for several months now, i have not been receiving my salary. and now, when i have finally decided to end my loyalty to the company, my boss starts offering me another job with all the same sale-speech bullshit he gave when i was starting. and the other option? none. its either i take his offer or i resign with him haunting me with my monetary bond. ugh! ..and now im caught in between.

2 days ago, i lost my phone. all my contacts were there. The Man up there still gave me that "pang palubag loob" when my globe sim card was the inserted in the lost phone. But still, it is a big hassle specially now, that my Sun sim has been cut because of non-payment.( read: no salary! )

Oh please let this curse stop now. I wasn't able to spend the holidays out of the country with my family because I also lost my passport. Oh universe, please be kind. I don't need another stressful situation.

But still, Im positive for this year. I still have 12 months to bring luck back on my side.

after almost a year, IT'S ALIVE. and yea, ill be updating this more often.
