finally...
you've said your piece, & i've said mine (most of it, anyway). you've made your point, so have i. we've each made our resolves, & i know that we will try our hardest to stick with it.
i know we will both try. i, for my part, have thought things over countless times & i am sure that this is the best course for me to take, under the circumstances. i still love you, though. you know that.
i could only hope that i really am doing the right thing, handling this this way. i am certain that this will be hard...no one said that this will be easy, anyway. i pray too, that you are right in your decision.
there will be regrets, i'm sure (at least, on my part). for me, there will be also be tears, bittersweet recollections, maybe even sleepless nights. but i will be strong. falling apart is not an option.
i had you for some time, & i'm thankful for it. i wanted to have you for a bit longer, but i guess that's just not in my cards.
anyway, thank you, dear. i wish you well.

what tarot card am i?
You are The Tower
Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.
The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.
The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

bridget jones: the edge of reason
"the room started to go blotchy. hate this thing about dating. one minute you're closer to someone than anyone in the whole world, next minute they only need to say the words "time apart," "serious talk" or "maybe you..." and you're never going to see them again and will have to spend the next six months having imaginary conversations in which they beg to come back, and bursting into tears at the sight of their toothbrush."

pride & prejudice
"you are too generous to trifle with me. if your feelings are still what they were last april, tell me so at once. my affections & wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever."

...
since last night, i have been rereading my previous blog entries. going back a couple of months, i couldn't help but miss what we used to have.
i know that it's been 9 months since we broke up. i have not forgotten that my friends have been pushing me to put more effort into getting over him, & i realize the wisdom of their counsel. i know that they not only mean well; they are also right. after all, i can't wallow in misery forever.
yes, i know that having loved & lost does not justify curling into a fetal position & wishing that the world would just go away & leave me alone in my despair. i know that i am not the only one who has gone through this, & that so many people before me have survived. i am also quite aware that at some point, the piercing pain would subside into a dull ache, & happy memories would begin to bring smiles once more, not by-products of my lachrymal glands. & i know that this phase is not easy. wow, that's probably the understatement of a lifetime.
i know that this is not easy because i am in this. i'm feeling the immense pain that comes with losing someone i love deeply. once in a while, i am hounded by "what if...?" questions. when i pass by places that have been "ours" at one point or another, i am flooded by memories of what used to be. & almost everytime that happens, i can't help but wish that i still had him with me.
a friend of mine said, "you will always go back to square one". how painful & true. did i already say painful? think about it. you put all your energy into trying to forget that he exists, and/or into trying to accept that what you had is gone. when something new, sad, happy, exciting, or boring happens to you, you make a conscious effort not to text or call him or to give him a blow-by-blow account of your life as it is at that moment. you may even let yourself be dragged to gimmicks that well-meaning friends have set up for you, though you are in "my life sucks & nothing can change that" mode.
after some time of pretending that you're okay, you realize that you can do without a big chunk of the pretending. surprise, surprise, you've made progress! there's significantly less pain in your chest, you feel a lot lighter, & the spring is back in your step. high five! pat on the back! *hug* your baby steps have actually brought you somewhere.
with this superb realization comes little flutters of panic. oh no, i'm actually starting to get over him! without meaning to, you find yourself singing along to lea salonga's, "let the pain remain" (on the count of three, one, two, three: let the pain remain forever in my heart / for every drop of it is one more moment spent with you / i'll let the pain / bring in all the rain / if that's the only way / if there's no other way to be with you again).
what did my friend say again? square one. back to where it all began.

in cooking heaven
i think that all of my high school friends know that i love to cook, & that i'm good at it. during our Christmas party in third year high school, i offered to bring lasagna, which turned out to be a hit with my classmates. the same was the fate of the mango cheesecake that i made for dianne's birthday a couple of years ago (nahuli ko pang sinisimot ni pat at tenten yung container na nasa sink na).
give me a recipe, ingredients & equipment, & more likely than not, i will be able to cook whatever is in the recipe. there goes the reason i was touted as "housewife material".
my major cooking frustration was that i couldn't learn baking because we didn't have an oven. but now, we have one!
last tuesday, i bought an elba gas range with oven as a gift for my family. it looks like this:
it was delivered yesterday afternoon. i already tried baking a dish of brownies this afternoon, & they turned out great! okay, i cheated because i used a brownie mix, but still! :)
i sure hope that i'll have enough time (& patience!) to practice baking in the next few weeks. i want to learn how to make brownies, pies, cookies, even cakes! who knows, i might be able to whip something yummy in time for Christmas. can't wait! :)

vacation mode na! (medyo...)
i actually felt well today. yipee! i was able to go out & shop in southmall, & i made a major purchase. double yipee!
wala lang. masaya lang ako kasi okay na ang pakiramdam ko. i actually had to cancel a gimmick yesterday because of my headache. since okay na ako, let's reschedule! badz! ;)
kaso lang, i'm practically broke. kaya okay na ang level ng mcdo. haha!

to somehow make the rest of my fiscal year easier, i need to finish the following, hopefully while i'm still on vacation:
1. recruitment workflow
2. service head & senior sales executive recruitment matrix
3. service head & senior sales executive interview guide
waaah! ayoko munang gumawa ng trabaho!

my first day out of the office...
not really a happy way to start the week, as i had a horrible headache for more than 12 hours. argh. so, i was confined to activities that i could do while lying down (read: watching TV or a movie).
was able to watch the american president again. call me corny, but it made me cry. it really is one of my favorite movies, along with my bestfriend's wedding and my girl.
i then proceeded to 7 episodes of season 1 of grey's anatomy. overdose ba? haha! wala lang, i just wanted to know what it was about, as everyone seems to be into it. well, this quote from meredith in episode 4 stuck:
intimacy is a four-syllable word for, "here are my heart & soul. please grind into hamburger, & enjoy." it is both desired & feared, difficult to live with, & impossible to live without.
true, isn't it? at least, somewhat true.
on a lighter note, here's part of an email i got that really made me laugh:
kung pwede lang, no?

first day of vacation!
i'm finally pushing through with my mandatory, consecutive five-day vacation leave next week, from december 4 to 8. but since today is a holiday, my vacation has started. yehey! i slept through most of the day, but somehow managed to finish two books:
my other accomplishments for the day:
1. bought a whole chicken for lunch, and shared it with everyone.
2. ate at least 5 nestle milky bars.
3. ate a handful of grapes that i bought from our building's "fruit man" yesterday.
4. ate two minute burger cheeseburgers.
in other words, i accomplished nothing. haha! what a day!

two ateneo trysts in one week
despite the fact that i reside in the far flung hills of cavite, i found myself in ateneo twice this week. the first time was on thursday, the second time was today.
last thursday, i went on undertime. ako, nag-undertime?! hehe! it was actually supposed to be a half-day vacation leave, but things kept coming up, so i was able to log out only after three. i was going to meet candy & badz (my thesismates) in mcdo katipunan, a date that was organized by badz a week ago as a result of my incessant prodding (when i was still under the delusion that i will have my five-day mandatory vacation leave from nov. 20 to 24). paano ba naman, graduation pa kami huling nagkita-kita! it was definitely high time for a reunion.
but instead of walking to mcdo, i took a trike to ateneo. nabasa ko kasing may AMA mall na. pero as usual, traffic sa loob ng campus.
but before i could even find out where the AMA mall was, i saw the eagles of hope bazaar in front of cervini & eliazo.
there were so many cute stuff!
while checking out the merchandise, i called both candy & badz. after a couple of tries, i finally reached badz. as it turns out, both he & candy were already in mcdo. i told them that i wanted to shop for a while.
maybe 20 minutes later, i called badz again. sinabi kong hindi pa ako tapos mamili. buti na lang, siya na ang nag-volunteer ng option na sila na ni candy ang pupunta sa school.
obvious bang excited ako? i was walking towards them, & my arm was moving. nagmukha tuloy apparition sina candy at badz. hehe. shopping resumed.
i ended up buying two beaded ID laces, two beaded bookmarks, a pack of big paper clips, & a cloth doll. we were hungry, so we decided to eat in....(drumroll please).....the caf! grabe, graduate na kami at lahat, caf pa rin! at least, iba na ang color scheme. yellow na ang walls, unlike dati na plain white. at least, warm na ang ambiance ngayon.
pero in fairness, marami na akong miss na food sa caf. chicken strips, pasta with pesto, chicken wrap, meat sauce spaghetti, & green mint tea, to name a few. i settled on a tuna casserole from healthy kitchen & a glass of tang from beef teriyaki.
needless to say, even while eating, it didn't take much to get us to talk. mahigit 1 year ba naman kaming hindi magkita! nabulunan si candy sa isa sa mga balita ko.
si badz naman, dati pang alam, so wala lang.
after finishing my tuna casserole (na 50 pesos na ngayon, 40 lang ata dati), i decided to get a chicken wrap. nakakainggit kasi yung kinakain ni candy, e. unfortunately, ubos na. i ended up buying a tortilla wrap, which i asked badz to finish.
after eating, we went back to the bazaar to get the ID laces that i had ordered (it took a while because i asked for one to be customized). then, we walked to gate 3. on the way, guess who saw me? our former SOA president, ginger!
nakakatawa kasi nagmamaneho siya palabas ng parking ng xavier nung nakita niya ako. ako naman, talagang kumuha pa ng picture! imagine us in a flurry of hi's & goodbye's, right in the middle of a driveway. of course, ginj had to leave immediately. nagpromise ako na magkikita kami ulit. shocks, kailangan ko nang mag-organize ng lakad ng EB! good luck na lang sa akin.
tuloy ang paglalakad. at some point, badz gave this back to me:
si candy naman, binigay yung Christmas gifts niya sa amin last year. mine turned out to be a bottle of lacoste perfume - touch of pink. ayan, shining shimmering splendid pa.
while walking, nagbibiro si badz na kung hindi pa gawa yung overpass (sabi ko kasi, gawa na) sa tapat ng gate 3, bubuhatin ko raw sila ni candy papuntang katipunan. buti na lang, gawa na. wala pa yun nung nag-aaral pa kami! i tried to take pictures of it, but it was too dark to be visible in a picture.
we opted to go to cello's for dessert.
chika na naman, siyempre. ayan, nakikinig talaga ako kay badz.
at some point, i requested candy to take a pic of me when i'm not looking. para naman may kuha man lang ako, no!
well, masaya akong nakausap ko ulit sila. lalo akong masaya para kay candy. she's quite happy & contented now. also, she has healed already. ayun, naulanan tuloy ako ng mga payo. hehe! may matching reading list pa:
1. i kissed dating goodbye by joshua harris - done! 1st year pa.
2. boy meets girl by joshua harris - same as above.
3. when God writes your love story by eric lesley
4. passion & purity by elisabeth elliot
5. cure for the common life by max lucado
sige na po, counselor candy, susundin ko ang payo mo. :)
we had to leave at 8:30 to make it to the LRT stations in time. pagdating naman doon, nakababagot mag-antay. 7 minutes pa, e. bawal daw kumuha ng picture sa loob ng station, but who cares? wala namang nagbabantay. hehe...
later naman, sa loob ng LRT, picture ulit. wow badz, ang ganda ng kuha mo! kitang-kita tayong lahat, lalo ka na. harhar.
candy went ahead of us. badz & i were left, as we were both getting off at the recto station. buti na lang, sinamahan ako ni badz papunta sa kabilang LRT. after all, it's been a long time since sumakay ako dun. i mentioned to badz na college graduation pa ni bene yun.
naaliw ako kasi naaalala pa ni badz yung araw na yun. sobrang insistent ko raw na huwag muna kami mag-thesis meeting. sabi ko raw, any day but that day. tapos, nakabihis daw ako that day. rather, iba raw ang bihis ko. siyempre - gray skirt, yellow knitted blouse, stockings, black shoes with heels. grabe, parang ang tagal na nung araw na yun. bittersweet memories.
anyway, we went our separate ways. i found myself at the end of the last LRT car. even though my arm was still, sobrang shaky naman nung ride. as in bounce galore.
ayun, i got down at the buendia station & went home. nakakapagod, pero ang saya. nakakamiss talaga sila. ang sarap ng feeling kasi ang tagal naming magkasama nung college. yung tipong kilala na namin ang isa't isa, kaya hindi kami hirap magtrabaho nang magkakasama. tsaka ang daling mag-share.
ngayon naman, i went to a seminar with ate ava & mark. guess who i met in aurora boulevard? ivan reyes!
shocks, 2 years na kaming hindi nagkikita. nakakatawa kasi pareho kaming tumatawid to the opposite sides nung nagkita kami. ayun, nagchikahan muna kami sa island sa gitna ng aurora. i wanted to take him with me, but he had a date with kristine, his girlfriend. sayang. at least, we saw each other again.
ayun, i went to ateneo already. after the seminar, mark, liza, elmer & i walked to the direction of gate 3. nakailaw na yung lights sa bel field! sayang, wala nang batt yung digicam na hiniram ko kay sarah. anyway, here's how it looked like last year (or was this two years ago?), in a pic taken by badz:
ang ganda, promise. though parang konti lang yung lights this year...siguro, sa december pa nila sisindihan lahat. i'll be back for the simbang gabi then. : )
the 3 of them went ahead. ako naman, i passed by the eagles of hope bazaar again, as pinky wanted me to buy her a doll, too. i also bought two ID laces, one each for ma'am jo & ma'am ting (nagandahan kasi sila sa ID lace ko, hehe).
i had to wait for the doll i wanted to be delivered at 8 o'clock. it was only seven, so i decided to watch the ongoing ateneo idol competition. jay-r, ekai & kuya rolls, fellow gabayanos, were also there. so was boy abunda! he was a judge in the competition. atenista rin siya, e. some even say na gabayano rin. panalo yung ibang comments niya:
"in your youth, you're not just bold, you're hot."
"mas magaling kang kumanta kay pacquiao."
haha! anyway, i left as soon as the competition was over. jay-r, ekai & i walked to gate 3. they invited me to the Christmas party. tapos sabi ni ekai, parang hindi raw ako tumatanda. sabi ko, tumataba naman. jay-r agreed, saying na mukhang hiyang ako sa work kasi nga tumataba ako. sabi ko, stress eater kasi ako, e. oh, well.
naghiwalay na kami sa aurora. i went to cubao, they went to marikina.
the day ended very well for me. i was tired, but i felt very peaceful inside. basta, ang sarap ng feeling. thank you for such a great day, Lord.
last thursday, i went on undertime. ako, nag-undertime?! hehe! it was actually supposed to be a half-day vacation leave, but things kept coming up, so i was able to log out only after three. i was going to meet candy & badz (my thesismates) in mcdo katipunan, a date that was organized by badz a week ago as a result of my incessant prodding (when i was still under the delusion that i will have my five-day mandatory vacation leave from nov. 20 to 24). paano ba naman, graduation pa kami huling nagkita-kita! it was definitely high time for a reunion.

ayun, i went to ateneo already. after the seminar, mark, liza, elmer & i walked to the direction of gate 3. nakailaw na yung lights sa bel field! sayang, wala nang batt yung digicam na hiniram ko kay sarah. anyway, here's how it looked like last year (or was this two years ago?), in a pic taken by badz:
ang ganda, promise. though parang konti lang yung lights this year...siguro, sa december pa nila sisindihan lahat. i'll be back for the simbang gabi then. : )
the 3 of them went ahead. ako naman, i passed by the eagles of hope bazaar again, as pinky wanted me to buy her a doll, too. i also bought two ID laces, one each for ma'am jo & ma'am ting (nagandahan kasi sila sa ID lace ko, hehe).
i had to wait for the doll i wanted to be delivered at 8 o'clock. it was only seven, so i decided to watch the ongoing ateneo idol competition. jay-r, ekai & kuya rolls, fellow gabayanos, were also there. so was boy abunda! he was a judge in the competition. atenista rin siya, e. some even say na gabayano rin. panalo yung ibang comments niya:
"in your youth, you're not just bold, you're hot."
"mas magaling kang kumanta kay pacquiao."
haha! anyway, i left as soon as the competition was over. jay-r, ekai & i walked to gate 3. they invited me to the Christmas party. tapos sabi ni ekai, parang hindi raw ako tumatanda. sabi ko, tumataba naman. jay-r agreed, saying na mukhang hiyang ako sa work kasi nga tumataba ako. sabi ko, stress eater kasi ako, e. oh, well.
naghiwalay na kami sa aurora. i went to cubao, they went to marikina.
the day ended very well for me. i was tired, but i felt very peaceful inside. basta, ang sarap ng feeling. thank you for such a great day, Lord.

Saturday Group: A Dats Entertainment Christmas
Naalala niyo pa ba nung uso pa ang shoulder pads at sikat pa si Kasielyn Francisco? (yung kulot na maingay na nag-Miss Saigon) Eh naalala mo pa bang love-team si Jano at Mane? Alam mo ba kung anong grupo ang laging nanalo?
Hindi mo man namimiss ang panahong kunwari'y astig pa si Kuya Germs, mapipilitan ka nang alalahanin!

i have a baby pink version of the green stilletos shown above..
i love the purple & black ensemble! any ideas where i can scout for similar tops? :)
brings back fond memories of the cartoon (& of my cutesy water container with a picture of my little pony minus the rainbow).
at least, may ideas na ako. shopping spree na lang ang kulang! can't wait! :)
