"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited."

It's Been A Long Time Coming

6.04.2009 || entry-link || 0 comments

To say that things have been hectic would be quite the understatement. I've made all my online accounts available mobile so I can update on the go, but still I haven't had the time to make a decent post. Twitter is now my new best friend. Micro blogging (I'm the master of putting a whole day's worth of thoughts in 160 characters) is the sheeznet.

I recently went to El Nido Palawan with people I work with. It was fun. Went snorkeling, extreme sailing (hobbi cat which wasn't the least bit relaxing as expected), island hopping, bottom fishing, rock climbing (and ended up looking like an idiot because I cried when I reached the top), and best of all: SCUBA DIVING!

El Nido was awesome and the resort we stayed at even awesome-er! It's a good thing the whole trip was free because I could never afford to go there in a million years (Budget per person for 3 days and 2 nights was close to 40,000).









On other news, I'm flying to Hong Kong on the 23rd with my sister. But we're still thinking and re-thinking and re-thinking about it. The H1N1 virus put our tails between our legs. Although our family doctor did say that as long as we're healthy we shouldn't worry... but still. My sister and I are pretty stubborn about the Hong Kong trip since everything's been paid for already. Bleh.

Work's work. It has it's ups and downs. I am almost always up to my eyeballs in stress but I can't complain. Surprisingly, I like what I'm doing and it's a never-ending cess pool of learnings. Of course the "people I'd like to stab in the eye with my ballpen" are still here. And the hate has level upped to "i want to pull your brains out through your hair since you're not using it anyway!". Their stupidity is unbelievable!

I've ran out of things to say (actually I have a few more stories to tell but I'll tell them another day).

One more picture before I sign off.

love and marriage love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage

a lot of my batch mates are getting married. well actually a lot of them have GOTTEN married and are now with kids. most of them happy, the rest i have no idea how they're doing. i mean WOW, right? kids from my batch are around 23-26 y.o. to think this is supposed to be the generation that holds off getting married for their careers.

i didn't realize that kids my age are ready for that kind of responsibility, starting a family. i'm still having trouble balancing my finances (deciding whether to buy a new lens via 12 months to pay 0% interest or buying it when i get to hong kong since i'm sure it'll be much cheaper there but i have to pay cash - that's the most difficult decision i've had to make since what course to take in college and whether to leave this job for that job). i don't know how i can be responsible enough to take care of a home, let alone a family. sheesh.

maybe that's why i'm not yet married? heh.

i don't know why i'm gaga over this. and i'm not panicking. no clocks have started ticking yet either. it's just that seeing a bunch of kids i've known since grade school posting their pictures from so-and-so's wedding (even going to colynn's wedding last year myself), hasn't triggered that "aww how romantic" and "i wonder how my own wedding will look like" switch yet and i'm starting to wonder if there's anything wrong with me?

i guess it's not so bad enjoying the bachelorette life. travelling on my own. having to worry about how to pay my credit card bills and not how to plan for my child's college education. saving up my own money for whatever version of the future my imagination has cooked up, which maybe life ends up really having set for me. i don't know.

i just can't picture myself yet in that perfect white dress, saying i do for better or for worse in sickness and in health forever and ever amen no erase. and waking up to a life that's no longer entirely just mine.

i can't yet. and there's nothing really wrong with that, right?

but i'm happy for my friends, my batch mates, who have finally found the right person to spend the rest of their lives with.

as usual i didn't make an iota of sense again.

Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time
I against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm
in the front
the play on time is won
but the difficulty is coming here

I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I wont tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play for
all of the loneliness that nobody
notice now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you

I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads my way

I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
I would take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
why wont you run
in the rain and play
let the tears splash all over you

New Dog

Ever since our dog, Ateng, died, it hasn't been the same at home. And no, I'm not exaggerating.

So when Tiggy told me that she'll donate a dog to us... WOOHOOOO!


Can you say Aww? Photos care of Tiggy. They're still nursing so we'll get them maybe 2 weeks from now. My sister and I can't wait!

i spent the whole weekend indoors, waiting for my brains to turn into muck infront of the telly watching the following:

1. how i met your mother season 1
2. the hills season 5
3. true blood season 1
4. supernatural season 3
5. one tree hill season 6
6. bride wars
7. chronicles of narnia: prince caspian (oh caspian why do you have that terrible accent?)
8. quarantine (ZOMBIES ALIVE! see what i did there? it's supposed to be ironic)
9. high school musical 3 (oh lordie)
10. and my favorite movie of all time: THAT THING YOU DO!

it's a miracle i can still put words together to form sentences, let alone blog (but the quality of my blog post actually supports my thesis statement: my brains are fried.... see how i'm not making any sense at all?).

it's 91F outside and i'm wearing my favorite plaid shirt with the buttons closed all the way up and my purple tights and my birthday boots. yes, i'm sweating. all in the name of feeling good because i like what i'm wearing even if i look funny. it was part of the resolution after all.

and a quote because i really frickin love this movie:

Faye Dolan: Was she a good kisser?
Guy Patterson: Yeah.
Faye Dolan: Yeah?
Guy Patterson: It would be ungentlemanly of me to elaborate.
Faye Dolan: Gentleman. I'd forgotten what you guys looked like.


and another one:

Guy Patterson: Hey, Uncle Bob?... When are we gonna get these records?
Uncle Bob: [thinks] Ah... Luke 21:19
The Bass Player: Let your patience possess ye your souls.
Lenny Haise: Luke? Who's Luke? When are we gettin the records?
Uncle Bob: Wednesday


:) good day sunshine. tenenen.
