walang tulugan!

grabe, gising pa ako! well, i had over 15 hours of sleep yesterday, pero grabe pa rin!

first time ko atang ginawa ito - walang tulog, then pasok na sa office. tingnan natin kung kakayanin ko. well, hindi pwedeng hindi! i have a full day ahead of me, after all.

wish me luck! ; )

weird dream

i dreamt that i have started dating again. in my dream, i was dating someone from physiology (my ex-boyfriend's fourth year high school class). the weird thing was, practically the whole physio was against the "relationship", because they felt that that guy was not right for me. they were mad at me for going out with him, to the extent that a group from physio was berating me about it. sobrang weird.

i remember who the guy i was supposed to be dating was, & i remember one girl who was lecturing me against going out with him. my ex was not in the dream (or at least, i don't remember seeing his face).

if i remember correctly, one hypothesis about dreams is that these are our mind's way of making sense of the signals that it sends when we are unconscious or semi-conscious. whatever.

what is this dream supposed to mean?!

any ideas?

back, after a two-week hiatus

holler!

natawa ako, may comment na si chi na "update!" sa chatbox ko. first time ko atang nakatanggap ng ganoong comment. busy kasi ako during the past two weeks, kaya hindi na ako nakapag-update. tinatamad din. hehe! ; )

i went to a retreat last last week (feb. 23-25). buti na lang talaga, nakapunta ako. it was sponsored by the family renewal movement, a community that deirdre belongs to. actually, siya ang nag-invite sa amin. i went there with rica and rocel, two embryo classmates. there, i met jacqui & em, two of deirdre's college friends. we hit it right off. as in. we got to the BLD covenant house at 4:42 (sakto ang estimate ni manong driver!) but were already laughing our heads off at each other's stories before sunset. grabe kasi ang kwentong fitness first nina em at rica! i bet nagsisi si deirdre na kami ang pingsabay niya sa isang batch. hehe!

at some points, ang hirap ngang tandaan na retreat pala iyon. ang kulit kasi namin! 2 o'clock na kami natulog nung friday night (este, saturday morning) kasi puro kwentuhan. ang hirap tumahimik! pero kailangan, baka magising ang mga kasama namin sa "morgue" (mukhang morgue kasi ang kwarto namin, puro nakatalukbong ng puting kumot ang mga kasama namin).

kaya ayun, inaantok ako nang todo habang may nagsasalita. buti na lang, may kape.

nung saturday night (actually, sunday morning), 2 ulit ang tulog. ang masaya nito, ginising pa kami ng 5! as in! hinarana kasi kami ng sponsoring class. in fairness, na-enjoy ko yung songs kahit na single na ako. : )

buti na lang, balik sa tulog afterwards. then gising ulit ng 7.

teka, retreat nga pala iyon. haha!

maganda naman ang talks. i appreciated the one given by tita rose & tito paulo pabalan most. it was about traditional versus progressive beliefs. napaisip talaga ako sa discussion. a couple of times, napaiyak din ako sa reflections (as expected). natuwa rin ako nung nakita ko yung envelope na puro palanca letters from my family & friends. thank you. : ) & in fairness, i left BLD feeling a lot lighter & more optimistic. thank you, Lord. : )

kagagaling ko nga lang pala sa southmall dahil may 3-day sale. i was able to buy a bag, & two blouses today. nung friday naman, 1 business attire (na kailangan ko pang ipa-alter!) at amy tan's "the bonesetter's daughter". tapos ko na, kanina pa. bumili nga rin pala ako ng desk organizer nung friday. kung nakita mo na ang mesa ko sa office, obvious na kailangan ko. hehe! well, sobrang nice nung organizer! ican't wait to bring it to the office! yay! : )

oo nga pala, bumili rin ako ng walang-kamatayang stockings. : )

o siya, eto lang muna. may pasok pa ako bukas. balak ko pang pumasok nang maaga para ayusin yung mesa ko. career! : )

sweet dreams, friends. : )
