My Life officialy starts next week.

I miss Home

...That's because HOME is where your FAMILY is.

pssst, little girl...

You, sweetie, definitely raises the cringeworthy bar.

If only you were my sister, or even my best friend.

I would tell you how stupid you are acting right now.

And how people snicker behind your back with your misplaced pride while cheering you on in your face.

But then…I think you know that.

And I have a nagging suspicion…that’s exactly how you want it to be.

Goodness. I'm a hopeless bag addict. Just spent the lat 3 hours surfing the net for bags, bags, bags.

Watched 500 Days of Summer and liked it. I really did. Paolo liked it too, I think. After all, he got an extra 1 hour or so doze-off time. Hopeless. Anyway, It’s refreshing to watch a sorta-love story that doesn’t revolve on two perfect people living perfect lives who surprisingly cannot find their match amidst all their nauseating perfection. The characters are as normal if not as mundane as two people can get. Makes you realize amidst the dullness in everyone, we all have a story or two to share.

I have a new crush. JGL looks like a young Heath Ledger. I miss him. *Sigh. He used to rank second to Brad Renfro in my high school heart.

NO to sisig!!!

Paolo and I will be left alone for a week starting tonight. Our “yaya” Lulu is going home for a short vacay. I’ve decided on trying to be at my most domesticated (and determined) self these coming days. That means brown bagging our lunch, no take-outs, no dining out for a week and preparing everything by me. That’s not all either; I plan to take this opportunity to prepare everything healthy. I feel like our diet these days can be summed up as college dorm menu. Pao and I are both enablers. We love food as much as each other, I suspect. I am writing all of these down so I’ll be tied down and my sisters can ask me and follow up on this lofty endeavor.

So help me, God.

Egad! Life had been so crazy busy these past few days. I felt like I’m being pulled out from all different directions. I just woke up one day realizing its November already and we’re on the last quarter.

*Sigh. I don’t think people realize how I can be so busy when I don’t really have a schedule to follow. But in reality, that actually makes it doubly hard. Specially that I don’t really have a concept of time management. How I wish I’m crazy busy doing things that I love, not things I need to do. I just do what I have to do and it doesn’t help that I can be such a perfectionist, finishing everything up to its last dot. I did try following a schedule and then suddenly I get orders, or requests from people and all prudence, suddenly thrown in the wind.

I can’t wait for December.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my main boy, KUYA JOSH.

I love you so, so, so much.





I miss you SOOO much, everyday.

I'm quite romantic

...during my introspective moods

Shock absorber, yep. A backer, wingman, trooper. That is me. Welcome to my world.

I pride myself on being a friend’s rock. I’m the kind of friend you would like to have on your rainy days. I like to think the closest people in my life; past and present remember me more with my silence, my two cents worth and resilience than the laughter and just-good times.

I just hope to find somebody, MY own rallyist…for a change.

Excluding the Mr. Yason, of course.

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PRETTIEST (these days at least, weather-weather lang iyan...) and SEXIEST (well...hands-down!) SISTER, TIFFANY!!!
I miss you and the whole family!

***Yes, in case you are not aware, I'm the only one left here. ALL of them, as in ABSOLUTELY all of them are in Downers' Grove. Good thing I have my husband here or else I have gone nuts in the head a long time ago!

artsy-fartsy...

Chilling Out

We missed Calumpit. Our grandparents' house looks better than ever. I love this place. Nanay does a great job tending on her own. It looks brighter than ever. Somehow, that gives me comfort thinking my lolo is at peace...

DINNER ALONE

We live for this. Bagoong rice is so good.

fog off

The past few weeks, I felt like I was somehow in a fog, not totally an unpleasant one albeit an unclear one, but then of course, its a fog after all. Redundant. Although, it works when your talking about something vague.

I took some time off. It’s one of the best things to do when you are really burnt out both emotionally and physically. Just close your eyes for a while, let the fog pass, lest it stings your eyes...

I’m happy to say I’m back running around in my world again.

I realized after all that has happened…I love my life. =)

My shot of sunshine

Another wedding in the family!

CONGRATULATIONS to Andy and Ate Kissy! Such a cute couple. ;)

I'm back!

After 9 years, we were able to attend again the La Naval Annual Celebration. I had so much to pray for, and most specially to thank for. =)

Pray for Elijah Rocco

...PLEASE

I haven’t been perceptible for the past few days. I just felt we had to regroup and reorder our lives and our mess to a more tolerable jumble.

I’m sorry to all those who have been texting and checking out on us, we are fine thank you. It’s just that Pao and I react so differently during crisis, one of those differences in a marriage that you just find out along the way. I unintentionally don’t talk to people except my family, unless everything’s more stable already whereas he would downplay everything so as not to worry his family. He just turns himself on an automatic mode and fixes everything else. I just hear him talking to somebody to take care of something that I may or may never know. God knows I need a husband like that.

Let us pray more for those who require more of our help and prayers. As for us, we have great families, good friends and each other… Everything we need.
