There’s way to happiness

After writing my last post, I cried. Yep! I cried big time! But then, I thought, why the hell would I let go of my happiness? I have my son and he is my Life! I am happy with my son beside me. I go home everyday to see him laugh and crack at my simple peek-a-boo! And as simple as that, he is definitely my bliss!

Quick post: Meanwhile..

Two more days and it’s Valentines’ day already. I have no plans, or rather we don’t have any plans of going out and it’s because of a lot of reasons. We have work, salary day is on Friday and lastly, I think that going out on that exact date is really annoying because a lot of lovers or families will be out and celebrating. 

Valentines’ day is just a made up holiday, from those postcard companies or chocolate and flower shops but anyways, it’s a fun way of celebrating the power of love with our families and special someones. It’s a good excuse of showing our care for our loved ones. 

 

4 years of love

Someday, you’ll find someone. Someone who’d love you, the whole you. Someone who’d find every little quirk adorable. A person who would love you deeply, so much so, that even the parts of yourself you hate most, will be that something this person would love the most.– I think, I found mine. =)

Yesterday, we celebrated our 4 years of being together. I woke up happy that day because finally, the sign that I’ve been waiting for came exactly at the right time. I was so excited to see him and to tell him about it. We were not supposed to celebrate because of my mood swings but fortunately we did! Everything was perfect! Except for him being late and not receiving my text messages that made me really infuriated. But, when I saw his face, smiling.. I could not help it and I smiled too. Giving him a smirk and everything were fine again.

I think, this was the first time that we really celebrated our anniversary; Our first Anniversary was a disaster, we did not even greet each other. The Second one, he was so late, from what I remember he’s an hour and half late, he did not even appreciate my gift for him, I cried because of embarassment and disappointment. The Third one was quite sad because he was at Korea that time so we just greeted each other through video-calls and I made a short amateur video for him. This time, he finally planned everything and made an effort, you can even tell it with his clothes. He looks so dapper! =) Even I was wearing my favorite skorts! Haha!

It’s both out first time at Ocean Park, I’ve been wanting to go there! My inner child spirit likes going to amusement parks and recreations, but we don’t always have enough time to do so. It was such a short notice that’s why he decided to buy the vouchers because one of my friends told me that the fountain show was truly entertaining. True enough, we had a good time. It was tiring, but everything was new to us.

He’s wearing glasses..

Now, he’s not! Lol

Pictures, inside the Penguin Talk show. It was dark inside, I almost thought we’re going to talk to a real penguin! I still had fun, even though it was a show intended for the children.

What made me happier was when he sang for me using his portable piano (a piano application on his phone), I know, I’ve always been asking him to sing for me, he made a few lapses and mistakes but blah! He made me feel special.

Image

He even had a gift for me, a bag organizer! I’ve been wanting and thinking of buying one, because I can’t seem to make the inside of my bag look presentable. My things were everywhere and all over the place. Thank goodness, I finally have not one but two bag organizers! =)

Dinner time was our big problem that night, we didn’t know were and what to eat. We want to try something new but we don’t know where we can find a nice restaurant. We were walking when we suddenly saw Tongyang, a shabu shabu buffet restaurant. When we saw the restaurant, we looked at each other, our eyes shining with desire..lol.. we did not hesitate and went in! Perfect night!

Image

We’re a sucker for buffets, it was all a coincidence that we saw that restaurant, I guess luck was on our side that night! We went home blissfully! Truly a notable day for us. ❤

Friends: knows all your best stories.

I found out that one of my College friends, Auvey has been confined to a hospital due to Dengue  Syndrome. So, we did not hesitate to visit her and luckily, the hospital is just near my workplace. After work, I met my friends Marianne and Via and my boyfriend accompanied us.

I was expecting to see Auvey, to be sleeping or really tired and exhausted but I was really happy to see her awake and energetic. We started catching up and bullying each other. Oh, how I miss our University days and those overnights that we had.

We also had time making fun, tried acting and role playing since I was wearing my Uniform.

Image

Even though we didn’t see each other for almost a year, the bond and the laughter are still there. I forgot that I was tired and depressed from work because of them. (good thing my boyfriend brought his camera).

Auvey texted me this morning, informing me that they are now okay. Thank Goodness! =)

No matter how busy you are, or how busy you think you are, the work will always be there tomorrow, but yourfriends might not be.

 

*all photos are from biggy

The same old tricks keep generating new thrills.

If you spend more time fighting than laughing together, you need to realize you can find someone better for you. =)

 

I can’t even remember how many times we already fought and fussed for the same reason in the most absurd way. We always fight, we fight from the simplest reason to the huge ones. We fight whenever we’re hungry, when one of us is late, when we say bad things and when we get jealous (specifically me). But,  everything eventually becomes consigned from oblivion whenever we start to laugh and get silly. We can talk about frivolous things and just laugh at ourselves after. We don’t mind looking like a fool in front of other people as long as we make each other chuckle and convulsed into laughter. We play crazy and childish games and realize that we’re too old for it but still we continue to amuse ourselves. We hit on each other like first time lovers and we never fail to make each other grin and blush afterwards.

Still not sure with the future, but I’m sticking to my gut feeling that we’d still be together, not because we make each other laugh but because we appreciate happiness so much.

In awe of His Awesomeness

It’s been three days and I haven’t had the chance to update my blog. I became busy-but-not-really these past few days. I’m really happy but maybe I’ll tell more about it next week after I’m done with all the things related to it. But, I’m intensified and  spooked all at the same time. I really hope everything will turn out fine.

Keep praying, it’ll come true. It may not be in the exact package you wanted but it’ll be what God thinks is best for you.

Fun Rider

Yesterday was a another fun time with my friends. After going back to our office to get my last salary, we, together with Karen and Vaey went to Glorietta to eat out and just to wander around and look for clothes and Vaey went to Nokia center to get her phone fixed. Later that day, Biggs came to eat dinner with us.

We ate at Kim n’ chi

A restaurant that serves all about Korean Food (as you can see from the name, Kimchi.)

Bulgogi

Image

Seafood Ramyon

and of course, Kimchi

Image

And while looking for a guitar because Karen wants to buy one for her boyfriend but instead we found a Fun rider 5D! So we did not hesitate to try it!

Image

We chose the Volcano Roller Coaster

When we got out of the room.. a lot of people were watching us from the monitor, so I was really embarrassed. But, it was so fun! =)

It’s quite ironic

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.”

We’ve been together for 3 years and 8 months now, 4 more months and we’re turning 4 years. We don’t really celebrate our Monthsaries but we always try to make sure to spend it together and go on dates or just to eat out. We didn’t even celebrate our very first anniversary together for some inadequate reason.

We have experienced so many things already and I cannot say them one by one anymore. Most of my friends already know the whole thing. I guess, they’re too many to talk about and it will take forever for me to explain them again. We had ups and downs, rights and lefts but still we’re here holding each other’s hand. With these, I just realized some few points and things as we go through this relationship. It’s not that we are changing but I think we are continuously learning and getting to know one another. Evertime that I see him, I get psyched with the new things that we encounter together.

I realized that we’ve become so comfortable with each other that we already got used to every bad and gross habits that we have. We are expert when it comes to smelling each others fart (gross right?), He also likes holding my sweaty hands. We like to bully each other and we don’t get shy in front of other people especially with my friends and his friends. I like staring at his mole beside his nose and I would always ask him, “If I stare at it for too long, will it grow bigger?”, and he will quickly respond, “No.” he’s so direct that I have to stop staring. I also got the habit of biting his hands, shoulders and sometimes his lips. He also loves, making fun of my big butt and I would also tease him with his huge lips.

We got lots of similarities and differences as well. We both love the same kind of music, we can listen to anything under the sun and sing out loud with it. We listen to rock, alternative, pop, rnb, hiphop and even Kpop! Back then, I used to think that he’s a rocker and just wants nothing but bands and anything related to the dark side of music, but he was different. He can play Guitar, Bass and he also tried learning Piano plus the fact that he can sing. He knows how to dance, too (although he will not admit it, but I swear he’s good!), while I’m just another frustrated 2ne1 member. lols! Oh well, I’m resented but still I tried everything because I’m that confident, especially about singing! haha!

We love watching movies and TV series, I can still remember the first time that we watched a Movie at the theater, he got this unusual belief that whenever she takes her girlfriend to watch a movie they always ends up breaking apart. But, I guess, it’s a bit true regarding the times that we broke up but still it’s not true because we’re still together.  The most obvious thing is that we both have weakness to foods! We love eating, he would always say that, it’s the best thing about me and our relationship. We can eat anything and everything. Whenever he asks for an extra rice he would always tell the waiter that it is mine and not his. He’s such an actor.

When it comes to Academics, I admit he’s good in logic, analyzations and math, I hate those subjects and if I could have met him earlier, he could have help me with my assignments! My forte is Science and I guess, a little about English. Our majors, IT and Nursing are both very different subjects, what’s good about is that we can share everything about it to each other. I know how to use computers but I have no idea how it works, especially about programs or applications so he’s always a big help whenever my computer goes crazy and I panic. Well, about nursing, I always take good care of him by kissing and hugging him! hahaha!

There’s so many things that I want say about us, like my family (even though he hasn’t met them) and his family. My friends and his friends. Our accomplishments, misunderstandings and most especially his trashy humor and my plausible humor (yes, I know). But, maybe i’ll do them next time.

It’s just quite ironic how we ended up together and still moving forward after all the obstacles and I know we have a lot more to face. Even though we have differences, our affinity with each other out shadowed them. We fight, we get angry and disappointed but still we have a certain soft spot for each other. We always find ways to reconcile and talk it out. The fondness and affection is consistent and that’s why I’m so happy to have him in my catastrophic life.

A little Saturday night special

Everything was unplanned. It was Saturday Morning when they texted me that they wanted to watch a movie. But, everything changed because we did not find any good movie to watch. So, instead we just ate out and decided to drink since we’re all having some problems and issues in life! haha. Unfortunately, Teddy, our friend left early and he doesn’t want to drink. Actually, it’s our first time to drink, we are friends for almost 13 years now and we’ve never tried drinking together, we tried but it was not this heavy that we need to stay up all morning. Body ache, Bowel problem and Sore throat, but no regrets. =)

This alcohol is not really hard but that’s all I can drink. haha!

Image

Image

And, I was not expecting it but Biggy showed up and saved my day! He was worried because I’m not really used to drinking too much. I love you!

Image

Everything was all about catching up with each other, we also made plans about our future group getaways and we talked about our careers, goals, problems and as well as reminiscing all over again our High school days! One thing I can say about them, they know me well, they know everything about me, my family, my sisters feud, where I live, my skills and capacities, my quirkiness and everything that bothers me.  It was one of those times, that again, you realize how life is so perfect with your friends beside you. We don’t usually see each other but everytime that we do, there’s always a huge smile on my face.

The friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time where nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home.
