Hey Rain: Go Away!

This rainy day has made me into this lazy, good for nothing, boring and grumpy human being. I hate the rain. I woke up by lunchtime and i was too lazy to cook. I neglected my plan to pack; i munched on cookies instead. I went to the mall and i bought, well, nothing except for takeout food. On the way home i got me some drive-through as well. I sat through an entire cartoon movie on Star Movies. My eyes hurt but there is nothing that interests me at this point. I hate eating too much. I hate being lazy. I hate the rain.

Diet Night

Tonight was supposed to be my "diet night" as Arnel has had his chicken burger earlier and all i wanted for dinner was steamed okra... Oh i love okra!!! We walked to the store for the okra but the pack of hotdogs was so inviting i just had to buy me some. What is hotdogs without ketchup? I also got me a bottle of ketchup. Now there goes my diet night. :/

I got out of the store to find out the boyfie bought us isaw, betamax and pork barbecue. I was like "daaaayyyymm" there goes my diet night. :/

A few minutes and a bottle of beer later, my brother gave us a call and invited us for dinner. Who says no to free food, right? So i was like "oh f*uck" there goes my diet night. :/

I ordered Lo Han Chay because it sounded like light food to me. The boys, however, kept ordering chicken, pork, rolls, etc. The food came to our table and i was like "screw diet night." :)


















From now on, Saturdays will never be a diet night for me. ;)

Cookfest

Last night we had an odd combination - Tuna Sashimi and Ribeye Steak. Somebody should stop me from going to the market after every working shift. I get tempted to buy everything i love! ;)

Surprised :)

I love surprise anythings! As i was doing my routine at the restaurant, the one and only Cupcake Princess came by and surprised me with Butterscotch squares and Oreo Cupcake. Sweetness! :) Now i can work with enough supply of sugar in my system. :)

Oaqs' Piano Recital

The sound of the piano reminds me so much of my childhood. My siblings, cousins and i all studied piano in gradeschool; we would be obliged to play our favorite pieces whenever we had guests at home. We have performed for a number of audience as well with our yearly recitals.

Seeing my baby brother play 2 pieces today in his summer class' recital made me feel so proud. :) He played Star Wars and The Popcorn Man. He did not have a hint of stage fright even if the guests are about 300. I hope he will continue playing good music as i would love to have a concert pianist for a brother in the future. :)

Love

Love makes me do these things:

Forgive
Accept
Speak kindly
Work hard
Inspire others
Worship and believe in God...only God
Be calm
Give more and expect less
Smile
Laugh
Be sincere
Appreciate
Be patient


Every morning i make sure i have enough love in my heart to last the entire day!

Everyday i am happy. :)
Everyday i am beautiful. ;)
Everyday i receive a blessing or two. :)
Everyday i feel i am loved back. :)
Everyday i meet angels. :)
Everyday i get a good night's rest. :)
Everyday i am inspired. :)
Everyday i am energetic! :)
Everyday i learn. :)
Everyday i grow. :)

Sounds impossible? Believe it and claim it, too.

Moving Up

I have told some of my friends about this so i think it is only fair that my readers should know too - i am giving up this site in August. This choice was made through the boyfriend who, although he is a fan, thought it would be best if i move on with my life focused with my career and, eventually, my own family by the time i reach my 30th.

The plans i have now are not only for myself but for both of us. I know it is too early to discuss marriage as i am not yet ready for that kind of commitment but as my engaged friends said, it is about time i submit to my partner. Submit is such a strong word, i thought, as i am living in 2012 when both men and women have equal rights. Then again, although not by choice, there is no better time to practice my wifely duties but as early as now (so help me, God).

He gave me an option though to make another blog that is mainly about food and travel. As for the other events in my life, i will keep them private. Being a very open and transparent person this will not be easy for me! I am sad at the thought of it... but we both think it will be for the best. After all, he knows of some people who despise his happiness. Schadenfreude - the very classic sign of bitterness and envy. Oh how I pity them. :(

Luckily, i still have June and July to talk about, who else, myself. I have 2 more months to think out loud. Thanks for putting up with my narcissism after all these years. Cheers to this beautiful life! ;)

Online Spending

Upon waking, i was reading messages from Y in my Viber re: makeup finds. Time flew so fast that it took us 5 hours straight just online shopping for various brands! All i thought it was still morning until the boyfie called to say he wanted lechon Cebu for lunch.

"It's too early to talk about lunch."
"Babe, it's 1:00pm already."

So, there, i wasted 5 hours of my day in bed online and on Viber with Y talking about eyebrow liners, blush and powder brushes, lip creams and shadows. Have i been timewarped to highschool? :)

I cannot wait to get my hands on my new babies! Finally, my newfound love for makeup application will be put to good use! :)

Ordinary Day

It's 2:05 in the morning and i can't sleep. I want to compose but my mind is too lazy to. I might as well put into bullets the things that happened and crossed my mind today... and everything else in between.

1. I cleaned my bathroom today. It smells so good! Dad agreed to have it redesigned the way i want it so it will look like a spa. He and the carpenter will meet with me tomorrow. I love my dad. Don't you just adore your dad?

2. Gemma had dinner at the restaurant tonight. We talked about our careers, future plans, businesses, keeping away from the wrong people, smiling at the world and its challenges, and restraining from too much spending and traveling (and how we think we've had too much of it already). I love her. Don't you just love your sensible friends who talk nothing but good things (and how to make more money)?

3. Arnel and i argued about the pronunciation of Target (the brand). I insisted it's Tar-Zhay and, as always, i won. Don't you just love winning?

4. We locked up the store at midnight and the boyfriend wanted to get coffee at 12:22 am. I was feeling a little lazy so i decided to come home instead. He said tomorrow we leave early for a joyride. Don't you just feel flattered when your boyfriend always makes you feel he wants to be with you all the time?

5. Shine asked where i was today. Don't you just love being missed by your beautiful friends?

6. Edz, my former staff, told me i looked gorgeous. Now who does not love to hear that??! ;)

7. My friend Ash from LA sent me a message through Viber telling me i can choose anything from Sephora and she will purchase it for me. Another friend, Yzel also from California, will also order online some makeup for me and all i have to do is choose. Lastly, Hazel from Brisbane will bring home some Bloom cosmetics for me. After my blog about throwing away my makeups, don't you just love friends who offer to replace them for you?

8. While watching Food TV with stepmom, dad, the boyfriend and my 2 brothers last night, we decided to throw a food fest this weekend. Arnel and i are sponsoring the steaks. Don't you just love family TV nights? Good cooking shows? Food?

9. It rained today. It would have been depressing but the thought of coming home to my loved ones eased that feeling away. If i were loveless, i would be crying myself to sleep. Aren't you thankful you never feel alone? Ever? Don't you just love being hugged in the cold? I do. ;)

10. I have been asked for an interview for an upcoming issue of my high school paper where i used to be the News Editor. Being an alumnus, there is no better feeling that to be told i inspire people. Don't you just love your high school teachers? Without them i would be speaking "kanto" (barbaric) Tagalog right now. Don't you just love being smart enough to write well in English? I have my teachers to thank for this.

... And to you! Thanks for spending some time to read my posts about my own little world; it only means i matter in yours. ;)

Buh-bye Makeup

Eversince i have quit the corporate world for a more laidback lifestyle, i have also forgotten how to put on makeup. I have lots and lots of makeup in my box but they have become useless, dust-collecting trash. This morning i decided to put them all away to clear out the table. Anyway, whenever the need to look good arises, Mara Manuel can always do a perfect makeup on my face.
So, here's to the good times we've had.. Farewell, makeup! ;)
