Don't have much to say. We are celebrating this day while we're far apart. He won't be here until Saturday so i still have to wait. I will just keep myself busy at work so i won't get so sad. I just really can't help but miss him so bad. Loveu bhe. Happy 29th Monthsary...

Merry (?) Christmas!

Its silly how everyone waited for Chrsitmas to come along and it just passed by in like a snap of a finger. Its over. Personally, i didn't get the chance to enjoy the season. Leo went back to Batangas on the morning of the 24th and then we just stayed at Badette's place in Sampaloc at the eve of Christmas day and went home at around 2 in the morning. It was just an ordinary day then i went to work at the night of 25th. Got a Starbucks treat from TL Dave. That was just about it. I guess the reason why i consider it as ordinary is because we (our family) did not spend the occassion together in our own place plus the fact that Leo isn't around to celebrate with me. Also, i am suffering from a very bad cold so its hard for me to appreciate all the good foods that were prepared for the occassion. Hays, i guess this is just not one of those good days. New Year is almost there. I am starting to think about my resolutions but i'd rather keep mum about it. Just having second thoughts of whether to announce it or not because i am afraid i won't be able to fulfill any of those promises.Ü But regardless of anything, i'm surely hoping that the celebration will not be as boring as the previous occassion was. Too bad i still won't be able to celebrate it with Leo because he has to spend that time with his family and i need to do the same... I guess we just have to accept the fact that it really is the case and these things are beyond our control. Just wait for the right time to come when we can get the chance to celebrate occassions like this together...

Global fun and the Free concert

Last December 8, we got the chance to went out again. Leo, I and Richard strolled at MOA fro a while then went straight to Global Fun Carnival. We just purchased a single ride-all-you-can ticket because Arcee (my officemate) gave me one beforehand which she got for free because the last time they went there they were four so a free ticket was given. Too bad Leo and I weren't able to enjoy all the rides. We just took rides to their version of Flying fiesta (which is sooo scary!), Ferris wheel and their version of Roller coaster. The reason? Leo got bored and scared. I don't know what the reason is but we just end up sitting there waiting for Richard while he enjoyed those unlimited rides. We were able to watch Ronnie Liang as he sang his latest hit (ngiti). He was there to promote his album, i believe. We left the carnival around 11pm. So there.

We also watched a free band concert near MOA that same night where we had our first encounter with the Hale band. Champ (vocalist) is sooo cute. We had fun watching the concert and most of the performers were good. The concert was held for a cause. We stayed there for at least 2 hours and when i felt like i can't bear to stand any longer and my feet are starting to feel weak, i asked them to go home na. Besides, i still have work the next day. They bought something to drink on our way home but i wasn't able to join them on that part. I took a rest and they just played our favorite game (scrabble) while consumming the liquor. And that is the rest of the story. We're quite busy these days that is why updating the blog is not being done in a timely manner. Christmas season is fast approaching but i haven't got the chance and the BUDGET to get presents just yet. I used the money i got for the 13th month pay in purchasing a new phone for myself, that's why...

28 months and counting...Ü

It's a bit late and i'm really very busy but of course, i won't to let the occassion passed by without me placing even just a short post here in our blog. We celebrated our 28th monthsary yesterday. Another great month of being together and there is no reason for it being great because we always spend our time together happily! There may be ups and downs but still, we managed to stay beside each other. There are lots of things playing at the back of my mind and i'll surely write 'em down here but not this time. I will do that on my rest day. But for now, i just want to greet myself and my baby a Happy 28th Monthsary!Ö Loveu bhe...

Making Up

It's been a week since we encountered one of the biggest fight we've had in this relationship. Things are too complicated to dicuss it here but people close to us know almost everything about it. To cut it short, it was my fault. It was fixed (was it?!) after a few days. I've been bad, both work and relationship wise. I guess i should still be thankful after all. For i still have my work and Leo.

I am now in the process of healing. Making up for all of the shortcomings and mistakes that i've done in the past. Going back to the old routine. So help me God.

Leo has his share of writings for this blog in regard to the fight that i mentioned earlier but he doesn't have the chance to post it just yet. It's very rare for him to do that. If anyone can notice, all of the posts here are written by me. So watch out!Ü

Lessons we learn when something happens

I'm not in the element to write now. But there's just one thing that happened to me yesterday that i'd like to share. I fell asleep on the bus on my way to work. I got shocked when i woke up and found out that my cellphone is missing. Its as if i don''t know what to. The next thing i know, i am asking the person who is seated beside me to give me back my phone! I even told the lady that if she refuses to return the phone, i'll take her to the police station. She cried and said that she's not the one who stole it and started bringing out all the contents of her bag just to prove to me that she isn't the culprit. I suddenly realized that whether she is the one who stole it or not, there are slim chances that i can take it back. I just kept quiet and then i borrowed her phone just so i can text someone in the house to inform them of what happened. I felt so stupid. And i know that this is my fault because of my negligence. If i didn't fell asleep during the trip, it won't happen. But its too late to blame anyone anymore because the cellphone is completely gone. Feeling hopeless, I just got off the bus and i let that person go. What a nice way to start the day...

At night, we were drinking when i suddenly heard a familiar sound. The ringing tone that i am using for my phone! Leo and I looked at each other in the eye and without saying a word, we both grabbed my bag and started searching. I then found out that my phone accidentally slipped thru the hole inside my bag. I am so stupid. I am so idiot to blame an innocent person. Just imagine what's gonna happen if we come to the point wherein i'd really bring her to the precinct and she'll be in jail?! I feel so guilty.

Lessons Learned:

1. Always be alert when you are travelling alone. Keep an eye on your belongings.

2. When you need to find something, use your eye. then shut your mouth.

3. Give someone the benefit of the doubt. don't easily judge a person you don't know.

4. And lastly, don't be stupid. Like me.

Bonding moments

Its my day off. So here i am creating a new post. We went out last night with our old friends (Chard, My, Joy and Sam). As usual, inuman (what else?!)... It was just a sudden night out with no plans at all. First thing in the morning i received a forwarded quote from Joy, about friends not seeing each other for so long but still remained friends by heart. I was touched by the message and so i thought it'd be a nice idea to invite them out. We had so much fun. Inuman as if there's no tomorrow. Here are the pictures taken...

Obviously, we love striking a pose in front of the camera. It always give me a good feeling whenever i get the chance to spend time with my friends. I hope that they also feel the same way when they are with me and Leo. It just happened yesterday. Now i can't wait for the next time. I wonder when will it be...

Blogging while waiting

As i mentioned in my previous post, Ziella has uploaded all the pictures that were taken in Quattro. Here are they...

Too bad when I went out with Cziee, Gena and Czell the other day we weren't able to take pictures. That night out is sooo "bitin". As much as we'd like to stay up late, its really not possible during that time because of some reasons. We just had dinner at Sangkalan resto then we agreed to stay at Starbucks to make some kwentuhan lang then we went home right away. The next time we'll go out, i'll make sure that i'll not have commitments the following day so i can stay up as late as i want. Anyway, Leo is here in Manila na. He came back yesterday and we went to mass together. Today, we are planning to stroll at the mall to spend time together so here i am at the internet cafe killing some time while waiting for him to finish his class at 5pm. Half an hour to go and he'll be right here...

Miss you bhe...

Its been 3 days since we last saw each other. miss you bhe. he's in his hometown now to spend holidays with his family while im here in Manila to work. He's not gonna be here until Monday so we still have to find other stuffs to do to make ourselves busy while we're far apart. I feel so sad. I am not used to going to work alone, he knows that. But for now, there is no other option but to deal with it. Time flies by so fast, anyway. as the old saying goes...

By the way, i was able to have Ziella upload the photos taken on the night we spent time in Quattro so i'll post 'em here now. As i said, "eksenadora" ang mug. Obviously, its always the "bida" in all of the pictures.

After my shift today at 5:30pm, i'll meet my girlfriends again, Gena, Czell and Cziee. We agreed to go out and have dinner together because we haven't seen each other for quite a while. Its been, i guess more than 4 months since we last went out and i know its about time for us to have some bonding moments again. I was able to get Leo's permission and we agreed that i'll go home before midnight 'coz i still have shift at 8:30am the next day. I wonder where we can go. Am i too excited?! (laughs...) I really am. :-)

It's our 27th month!

Tomorrow our relationship will turn another month old. Exactly an hour and 18 minutes to go, we'll be celebrating our 27 months of being together. We consider this day as very special, as we always do every 27th of the month. But another reason why it is indeed so special because we started the relationship on July 27, 2005. Which is exactly 27 months ago.

I never believed that i'll be able to keep a relationship this long. But now, i stand corrected. Our relationship is running smoothly and i know that as days go by, we'll continuously grow. I am aware that there's more to come for both me & Leo. But no matter what, i know that we are prepared.

By the way, I really like the song " a very special love". Let me share on this blog the part which i really love....

"I found a very special love in you. It's a feeling that's so totally new, over and over its burning inside. I found a very special love in you. And it almost break me in two, squeezing me tighter. And I, never wanna let go..."

I still haven't got the chance to find a copy of the complete lyrics yet but as soon as i get one, i'll definitely post it here. Needless to say, i want to dedicate this song to the most important person in my life. Love u bhe... Happy monthsary!!

Alaine's Welcome and Farewell party

It was Saturday night, i am set to go to the office but i received a text message from Alaine asking me not to go to work and inviting me to just go out with her and Ziella. I was hesitant at first. For the reason that this night out has been scheduled and cancelled a lot of times and it was all because of them. I came to the point where i told myself that the next time they ask me out, i'll definitely refuse. True to my word, i was unable to do so. (true ba yun?! :-p)

I met them at Quattro Grill in Timog ave. at around 11pm. Alaine came with her friend Evan and of course with Ziella. I came with Leo. We started talking about everything from the past. Things that we used to do, places we used to go to, expressions that we used to say (perfect example:those have to go too!) We had so much fun reminiscing everything from the past. Looking back, we know in our hearts that we've changed. Not negatively but the other way around. I am so glad & a little bit shocked to see Alaine. Not only because she has gained a lot of weight (like me!) but because she is matured now. She shared almost all of the things that happened to her for the past 3 years that she stayed in Dubai. Its true that here in our country, when someone goes abroad, we always think that the person is very lucky. we always set aside the idea that anyone who goes abroad is being apart from their family which we cannot consider as very lucky at all. I came to realize that there are always ups and downs in everything.

Of course the night will never be complete without the picture taking part. Ziella just posted three of 'em so i still have to talk to her and ask her to post some more so i can grab it. You'll see on the photo how huge the glass that we used for our drinks. It cannot be considered a mug, though. It should be called "MUG!" lol... In Quattro, they call it as their "macho mug". We ordered bibingka because we heard that this resto serves one of the best in the country and we were able to prove it ourselves. I almost forgot my own name when i got the chance to taste it. (exaggerated hehehe..)

Too bad Ziella had to go home at 3am for some reasons so she was not able to join us when we went to Rommel's. We just stayed there for about 2 hours, approximately until almost 6am. Then afterwards we took our way home. It is always a great feeling to spend time with friends. Alaine will be leaving again soon ( i bet she has already left the time i posted this). I wonder when we'll get the chance to do this again...Take care Yhna! You'll surely be missed...

Movement

Its been a while since i got the chance to blog again. Tied up with a not-so-good schedule plus all the hassles and pressures at work. The item prior to this must have been posted sometime last week but due to lack of time, i had to wait for my rest day before i got the chance to do it.

Its been more than a week that i've been dealing with starting my shift at 3am, and the good thing about it? I am starting to get the hang of it. I just received the update that starting next week, we'll be handled by a different TL and there will be a change of schedule. I will be assigned to start my shift at 1am (whew that's earlier!) and it will take effect on Tuesday next week. Know what? I am not really concerned about the schedule now. The news about the change of TL and the whole team is the one that really is saddening. I've been with this team for the whole 3rd quarter and now that we've just started approaching the 4th quarter we'll be moved to a different group. I can't help but feel sad.

I discussed it with Leo last night, and he just told me that all of us are bound to movement. He's right. Nothing is constant in this world but change, as they say. I'm just crossing my fingers that my new TL will be as nice as all of my previos TLs were. Regardless of anything, i just want to focus my mind in giving my best in whatever i do...

Leo's 1st visit to my workplace

We had a long day last Thursday. We've been together from the morning till 10pm. We had to run an errand about things that are being required by the office which has the deadline at the exact date we started processing it (buzzer beater, huh?! :-p) so just imagine how tiring it was...


We took our lunch at Leo's place (with his sister, Sandra). He started preparing himself after eating then we went straight to Recto. Munched some bbq underneath the LRT bridge (right in front of Isetann) then took all the rides going to Libis. I can see the excitement reflecting on Leo's face as we approach our building. (Leo is excited because its his long time dream to see in person all the things in my workplace that he can only imagine based from my stories)It was fulfilling to look at his face while he enjoys the unlimited drinks being offered at the pantry. ~wink~

feel at home sa lounge

I have submitted the documents to the guard on duty then we stayed at the sleeping lounge while waiting for the etel store to open because im planning to check on the new stuffs that they offer but i end up just getting a single bottle and found out that new products will not be released until November. hays, nice timing, hehehe... We took some pictures while relaxing at the lounge and Leo seems to have enjoyed his stay there. We also spent some time at the lobby before going home and did got the chance to take some pictures there as well.

etelecare model hehehe...
applicant?!....

We went home around 6 o'clock in the evening feelin' tired but happy. We were able to accomplish something that is very important. Next time, i'll bring him to our site in Makati. I'm sure he'll enjoy it there also.

still at the lounge...

Bad schedule

I have a very bad schedule for the month of October. Imagine i'll only get the chance to start my shift at 3 o'clock in the morning?! Isn't it bad?! I don't know but this is really inconvenient for both me & Leo. How in the world can we possibly get the chance to spend time together when he goes to school during daytime then i start my shift during the wee hours of the morning

This is making me really frustrated, but what can we do... I don't have any choice...Arrggh...

Looking at the bright side, this might just be one of those tests that we are set to encounter. I don't know. Well, hopefully. If that's the case, maybe then i should stop worrying 'coz im pretty much confident that we'll able to go through this smoothly. I just really can't help feeling very frustrated. Hays...

I might need more time to adjust with this. I'm just hopin' that it won't take so long...

Happy 26th Monthsary!

Today we mark the 26th month of our relationship. Lots of things has happened. Some of them are bad while most of them are good. I can still remember how many people had tried to stand between our relationship. They almost succeeded. Almost.

Memories of those times are still vivid in my mind. It's not because i haven't forgiven those people yet and all the things that they've done in trying to destroy our relationship. It's my own choice to keep those memories fresh in my mind for as long as i want. Main reason is because i've learned a lot of things with those experiences. As a matter of fact, i might want to thank them for what they've done.

To someone whom i used to trust the most, but did nothing but just betrayed me. You never know how you made me stonger with what you've done. You used to tell me that you envy me because i am strong. Well, You might be envying my strong personality for the rest of your life. Because i'm braver than before. Thanks to you. You're forgiven. But completely not existent in my life any longer.

To the girl who has tried to take Leo away from me. I'm so sorry but you failed to do so. And don't dare to say that you were just forced to do that because i provoked you. I never did that. In time, hopefully you'll realize that its not good for anyone to mess up with someone else's life. It's definitely not correct to have fun at the stake of other people. And you're also forgiven.

To Leo, who has exerted so much effort to make this relationship stronger and to be almost close to "perfect"; Thank you. For all the laughters, the headaches that we've shared. Im grateful coz i have you. And i'll forever be. I know that there's no certainty that we 'll be together until the end. But its more than enough for me to have you around now. Bhe, You've done your part in this relationship so damn good. I just hope that in my own simple way, i made you aware how important you are to me and how i love you so.

To myself, well, Congratulations! People may wonder why but there is really a long story behind why i am congratulating myself. To simplify, its because i was able to keep a relationship and take care of it this long. There are a lot of things aside from that but i'd rather keep mum about it. Just don't want to mess things up when it's running smoothly.

So i bet this writing is enough to cover the celebration of our 26th monthsary. Too bad Leo and I can't celebrate on the exact day. But definitely we've found an alternative way to do it. Love you bhe. And may God will continuously bless our relatioship...

Adjustments period

Photos here were taken on a later part of 2005. Probably around September. We've just started the relationship. Getting to know each other, most of the time arguing about a lot of different things. But at the end of the day, we'll kiss and make up as if nothing happened. But deep in our hearts we know that those arguements and misunderstandings helped us both to be better persons individually and as partners.

At the start of a relationship, what we people normally do is just look at the positive sides of the person whom we believe we love the most. But if that feeling that we're claiming as true love isn't genuine at all, i'm pretty sure the spark will immediately disappear as soon as you discover the "not-so-good" side of your partner. Everyone of us has a good and a not so good side. We have to admit that. And no matter how hard you hide it, people around you will still see that as time goes by.

I'm thankful that it didn't happen to our relationship. We've passed to the stage wherein you'll only show your good traits and will exert so much effort just to avoid disappointing each other. That isn't bad after all. Now, we don't only treat each other as boyfried and girlfriend. We also consider ourselves as bestfriends. Another thing to be proud of, huh?! :-)

How it all started...

I was finally able to create our own blog. This site will contain almost all of the things. Flashbacks from the past, present happenings as well as our plans for the future. As my first post, i want to reminisce about how we met and of course how exactly we became together. Well, nothing so extra ordinary about it. It just so happened that we both used to go to the same place with our friends back then. Wondering where that place is?... Yes! cafe in Recto along the university belt. Its ironic cause people always say that when you meet someone in a bar or in a place similar to that, never ever take that person seriously cause if you do, you'll just end up hurting & heart broken. I used to believe that saying, i really do.

Up to now, i still also can't understand how in the world Leo convinced me to go out in a date alone. I know for a fact that during those days when we first met, having a serious boyfriend is really not part of my plans yet. I just hang out there with my friends to play billiards, have some fun. And there are instances that we meet new friends. Some of them will start courting me or will show some sort of affection but i just don't take them seriously. Not because i want to play with them. Plain & simple, i just want to be alone for sometime. But it seems i have broken my own plans because Leo came. I'm pretty sure Leo share the same thoughts as mine.

Now look at us. We'll be celebrating our 26th monthsary on the 27th of this month. Isn't it great?! We're getting stronger everyday. We've encountered a lot of obstacles (who haven't, anyway) but we were able to handle all of those. That's the most important thing. I know there are more to come. We're expecting that. But we're confident enough that our relationship is strong. That is something that we can be proud of.

Till here for now. Expect more posts in the coming days... ~wink~
