where do broken hearts go...

the road to recovery will always be the one that is hard to tread on. it's like taking a long walk to a familiar place, but this time you're walking barefoot. you will feel every bump, big or small, that you walk on. even though you have been on that road before, every heartbreak makes the journey unpredictable. how long will this journey take? how many bumps do you need to endure in order to find peace again? but then you need to move on or else you'll be forever stuck in melancholy.

but as you go through the bumpy road, eventually your feet would feel numb. until there's no more pain, no more hurting. then you will realize that the bumpy road you used to walk on is already behind you.

i better start walking.

easy like sunday morning...

friday is my favorite day of the week. it's my constant silver lining. everyone is in winding-down mode and it just feels good. you have all the right to party and have a relaxing day after.

and today, i don't have much workload to worry about and the team is having a lunch out and movie date afterwards. plus, we already have our monthly salary.

ahh... life is good.

stay with me

getting your own place can be both exciting and frustrating. at first i had a hard time moving away from my comfort zone (mom's home cooked meals, my dogs at home and the free stuff you get at home), but i can say that I have already adjusted. somehow this is already a dry run of what my life is going to be like once i'm old(er). but living away from home isn't that bad since i got to learn how to iron my clothes, cook my meals and budget my [very little] money. and it's quite an achievement for me that i get to survive somehow. since i have housemates, the burden isn't that hard because the expense and the hardwork is spread evenly among ourselves. i'm pretty blessed that i have housemates i can fully trust. they pay rent on time, they clean up their messes (well, after a bit of nudging), and they're simply good company. and with the arrival of our condo pet, crumpy, my stay couldn't be happier.

living away from home is not something that i recommend to everybody. it requires a lot of patience and hard labor (especially if you have room mates to deal with). but it develops in you a lot of discipline to get through life's daily challenges.

It's the same old song...

When people ask me the generic question, "Kamusta?" I always tend to say, "Nothing much." I never realized that I'm actually doing a lot these days! Morning is always spent on gym and chores. Time at work is always a good combination of physical/mental labor, training and interaction. When I get home, it's chores once again and a little relaxation time. Friday is my quality time with friends. On weekends I always have dance practice. Sunday I have my baking time.

Maybe I've never seen my life in the eyes of other people. To them, I have always been up and about, always needing to do something as if my life relies on it. Maybe what I'm doing has been routinary that it no longer excites me. Although in the end, the decision's all mine on whether I want my life to be one big routine or a life well spent.

i'm a little bit of crazy... a little bit of a fool...

last dance

i just finished my very last focus group. i was trying to savor the whole experience awhile ago knowing na it'll take a long while before i do this again. i must admit that this is a very interesting job, with people na hindi ko na yata mae encounter sa isang company. sabi nga ng friend ko, it's time to move away from my comfort zone para mag grow. and i totally agree with her. wala namang major regrets. just a bit sad na i have to go through the entire sets of farewells. panibagong tao na naman ang pakikisamahan, new boss na pagsisilbihan, new sets of lunchmates, new sets of workload. the list goes on and on. i just hope na magkaroon rin ako ng comfort zone sa bago kong lilipatan...

one can only hope.

may cookie na pala ako

three weeks ago ay bumili ang nanay ko ng oven na matagal na naming pinapangarap. kahapon lang namin nagamit, so ito ang finished product (ika nga ni ricky reyes sa kanyang show) ...



in fairness, edible siya, despite minor errors in preparation. nagustuhan naman ng aking mga kasambahay. ano naman kaya ang next project ko?
