Ali told me we should hang out and talk more often, and not just about work (yeah, we have a habit of going on and on about work... forgetting everything, and everyone else around, haha!), and maybe talk about our lovelives as well. And I replied, yeah, my non-existent one.
It's so hard having a boyfriend who's away all the time. No matter how much love you have for him, it will always be tested with all sorts of things and people and the worst of all, loneliness. We all get our bouts of loneliness, and when that hits me, it always pains me to think that he should be here instead of being far away. I'm not a needy woman, and I get by without a man just fine, but this love thing - it's so hard to just walk away from it. I mean, I have been through a lot when it comes to relationships, and by now I know what's real and what's not. This is definitely real. He is definitely real in his love and his intentions. And so am I. But like I always say, love is never enough.
Well, maybe this time around we'll figure it out. Gawd, we're this old and we still couldn't figure out relationships. Will it ever get easy? Or is it really all just... ern, wishful thinking.
In other news, I just really have to declare my love. For David Cook. I just super love him. He's always been my favorite. He brings out the rocker chick in me. Wahaha.

Ey Sieggy, posting a pix of Beauty from a few years ago at my sister's wedding :) The other girl is another niece who was the one who met Beauty at the door before she finally went inside the PBB house. I heard from others who watch the show (which I don't because of my shift) that my niece is doing pretty well. Some comments from other blogs also peg her as one of their favorites. So that's really good news, given my reservations. So here's to Beauty staying long in the house :)
On another note, the news that we've been anticipating in the Old Blue finally arrived. I'm detached from it, looking in from the outside, but I can't help but feel a bit of sadness.. For all the history involved (I did spend a decade there, and a good numbers of years were solid and glorious; I've met a few lifelong friends there.... and of course, the opportunities and the growth, I will forever be grateful), for all the lives and families who will be affected (one of my former engineers texted me this morning asking help to seek for a new job), for its impact to the local and national economy and the impending domino effect... Before I left we were practically given a timeline.. 5 years. It came much sooner than expected, and I think that's what surprised most people. It's a good thing they went about this in a more humane manner, with a hefty package and just giving people time to look for other opportunities before the curtain is finally drawn. Still, I know it's a hard pill to swallow, and all I can do right now is to pray for all my friends and my former colleagues..
