JUST CAN'T GET USED TO IT

Saturday, October 13, 2007


Yeah, I know I keep saying I want to break it off with R, but never get to, and every time we say goodbye, it just hurts more than the last time. I guess inspite of, despite of, I love him. It's just as simple a truth as that.

Super senti mode alert.

I miss him.

I miss how he makes me feel safe. The way he always makes things seem so simple. The way he makes me laugh. The way he looks at me when he's about to kiss me. I miss him being around and making things more normal for me.

Egad. Here's to another round of separation. I will never get used to it.

Meantime, we had so much time doing normal couple things -- an out of town trip to Corregidor, watching movies (Knocked Up reminded me of us, haha, it was really so close to home, not the getting knocked up part but how the lead characters mirrored our personalities), dinners at favorite restos like Omakase, shopping together, taking a swim at the pool, playing billiards and basketball together (haha on the last one), watching the Pacquiao fight at the big screen, hitting the beach in Subic, saying our prayer of thanks @ Antipolo, little gifts and surprises like his home-cooked dinners, and even on the last night before his early morning flight we spent the night out at Metrowalk (and may I just say that even on a Thursday the place was just happening and I wish we hang out there more than we did).

ONE BIG SIGH.

On other news, I have a quick update on my wish list ;)

1. Japanese bed -- FINALLY!! I luv it!!




2. Laptop - I decided not to get a new one just yet. I want my Flamingo Pink Inspiron but unfortch, it's still currently, let's just say, hard to get.




3. dSLR - I got my D80 c/o R. Too bad he bought the wrong lens. He said he'll try to get the ones I want. But maybe I'll just buy them here. Bahala na. In line with this, I enrolled in photography sessions which starts November. Yahoo :)
4. higher HP AC - since it's rainy season, don't really need one yet. Maybe in time for next summer :)
5. brand new car - I was thinking of getting one na, but the rising gas prices plus the ever increasing carjacking incidents stopped me. Don't know for how long though :)
6. trip to Singapore with the 'rents - Postponed this in lieu of a family trip in another Asian destination... The 'rents are still happy, and so it's all good :)

PLAN B IN MOTION

Thursday, May 24, 2007

Plan A was start processing application to Oz. Right now, no progress on Plan A. Still wanna pursue that, but I'm hesitant due to some personal reasons that I will not discuss.

Plan B was to leave ex-company and go anywhere but there. Plan B is in motion. While I intended Plan B as a transitionary phase, it seems right now that I'm liking it here and chances are, Plan B becomes Plan A, and Plan A, well, I don't know just yet.

So far, things are looking pretty good here. And I'm not just talking about the view :) The good thing about start-ups is that you have a chance to start from scratch, and that usually means you get to choose the cream of the crop. And I strongly believe that's what we have right now. I'm motivated to work everyday because I actually like the people I work with. It's only been three weeks, and already we have bonded strongly. And I will do my part in order to keep it that way.

My friends are asking whether I have plans of moving inside the "mini city" so I can be closer to work. Hmmm.. Quite possibly, although I'd have to wait it out a few months so that I can be sure of any moves that are permanent and life-changing :) But it's a nice thought. I've always wanted to buy a place here, but back then it was impractical because of its location. To commute more than 50kms (one-way) was just suicide. Now, a mere 5min walk to work is every yuppie's dream :) I will then have to sell my unit, but judging from the occupancy rate right now, I think that won't be a problem.

I'm also considering getting a new car since maintaining Sark has been very financially draining. But I still love Sark and he and I have lots of good memories together. It's just that lately I've had some troubles (2 super flat tires in 3 days, and *&%@!#$ scratching my newly painted Sark, waaah!!)... Bad aura, right there. I'll have to sit on this more. After all, there's still the Plan A ver 0 I need to consider :)

And like Jay and Ali, I also have a wish list :) And in order of priority/sked, here they are :)

1. Japanese bed (super long overdue) - June 07
2. laptop (the office-issued one has soooo many restrictions!!) - June or July (or August, if I can still wait, so I can ask R to buy this for me)
3. dSLR (thinking of D40 or D80) - TBD
4. higher HP AC (I wanna put the other one to the other room) - TBD
5. brand-new car (well, I'm planning this for eoy where promos are usually plenty) - Q4'07
- if I decide not to buy a new car, I'll probably just upgrade Sark (new mags, new sound system, the works, and maybe another paint job with a color of my choosing :))
6. trip to Singapore with the 'rents (Mom's special request.. I'm planning this for sometime eoy or early next year when I get my VLs)

Putting in place goals is always the 1st step in achieving our dreams (or wants, for that matter). So there ;)
