what do i want...

this morning, as usual i had a lot of work then after lunch, ayan na.. petiks nanaman. SO, i searched the net and thought of watching a movie na lang. Of course, it was a sneaky move.. i had to use my earphones and minimize ung window na may movie(para hindi halatang petiks sa work). :p Thanks to watch-movies.net, i was able to watch 'The Women'. It evolves around Mary (Meg Ryan), she's the perfect example of 'women' who tends to fix everything around her that she forgets about herself. (ahem, sounds familiar!) Story: her husband cheated on her, she was fired from her job by her father, her daughter hates her and had a fight with her bestfriend.. it was a simple movie and i knew what the ending would be.. but what caught my attention was the line "what do you want, mary?" This made me think as well, WHAT DO I WANT? What does Min want?!? So after my 6PM mass, i ate in Long John Silver's alone! (hahah!) but surprisingly, it was okay.. time for myself, to think and ponder the events of the movie.. so what do i really want? :D I actually made a collage (just now..at 1AM) in microsoft word (laftrip!) coz i still can't sleep... another sleepless night... so instead of attaching 'my masterpiece', i'll just enumerate the things i want to do.. :D

I wanna go to a cooking class, I always wanted to cook but i just don't know how..
all i know is cook pasta and to fry!:p i want to learn simple stuff like chicken curry
but NOT SPICY, pork steak, morcon, beef kaldereta and of course my favorite kare-kare.
(ahahah, simpleng-simple noh! :p) mmm... kakagutom!

I also want to c
ontinue rowing, i know i'll get big.. or my upper body will get bigger but at least i'll do something, i have a sport that i can release all my 'energy'... hahah! meet new people at the same time. :D


i also would like to try wakeboarding! just try and see if i can do it! it is something i've been wanting to do but so scared that i might stumble, get hurt and look stupid.. :s
Finally, i want to run/jog every weekend on the beach. Around 5 or 6am, just jog and relax... (in my bikini plus shirt shempre.. hahaha!, pwede rin!:p) Just imagine, cool air, peaceful, no one bothering you.. you can just be yourself! Then have breakfast sa shore, i mean beside the beach.. Mcdonalds... sausage mcmuffin with egg... there goes my exercise! :D

These are the things i want to do..soon! now that i have plenty of time, and now that there's nothing to lose..dba? why not try everything... you never know, i might actually enjoy it and this might be 'the pleasant change' i've been waiting for...

having fun..

a pleasant time with kit & kris last week..:)

We had dinner at Hooters and then waited for Kit's friends. They were so nice and welcoming! :) It was so much fun. The plan was to go to a club somewhere in Clarke Quay but since Paul has a friend in Blue Jazz cafe, we went there instead.

It turned out to be great, puro expats but still the music was good... the crowd was okay and FREE pa! heheh.:p Thanks Kit and Kris! Congrats guys and best wishes.. i hope to see you this October in your wedding. yihee!! :D

a new you- in the new year..

I've decided to set achievable goals this year that will help me lead a more comfortable life.. here's some.. :p


1. Do something for yourself every day
All of us are busy working, taking care of our family, worrying on a daily basis and more often than not we are left with very little time for ourselves. Starting from this year, set aside a little time each day, just for yourself! It can be something as simple as taking a walk, reading a book, writing a blog or getting your favorite drink.


2. Learn something new each month
It is too easy to fall into the same old boring routine and this will not make you feel better. Instead, learn something new each month. Think of something that will interest you, maybe learning a new instrument or joi
ning a sport. Learning something different doesn't require you to have money, search in the inet and learn a new recipe or a new 'programming language' (nerd!:p), which is totally free!

3. Count your blessings
Don't you notice that, the bad things are easier to believe? Stop that theory and start counting on your blessings. Be thankful everyday that you are still alive and whatever problem you may have, face it with a smile! God loves us so much, we just have to open our eyes and see the thousand good things we have in life.

4. Stay healthy
Health is important. Spare a little time each week to exercise and try to eat healthier in the New Year. It is very difficult to stick to a specific diet and exercise program; however, it helps to start by recognizing the need to eat healthier and exercise regularly. Get moving and don't be a couch potato.

5. Pat yourself on the back
You deserve it! If no one else tells you what a great job you have done; then give yourself a big pat on the back! Your accomplishments are important so make sure you recognize them and treat yourself to something nice when you reach a goal or achieve something you have been trying to do for a long time.

Stay positive, the bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before...

the day i was set free...

This day would be my day... the day i was set free from all things that hunted me for the last 2 months... now im sure it wasn't my fault... that all my accusations were true...i was branded as the 'absurd' girlfriend... with a vehement denial and made me feel that the relationship fell apart because of the fights we had which made me the cynical one...
it all happened so fast.. first he was asking for space (when we are already miles apart).. then the hurtful words came out on christmas day.. (imagine, christmas! how can anyone do that to someone who you say you 'love')..days passed and was trying to calm myself down. On new year's day, i received an unexpected call.. he blamed me for things i said that was not even my fault and which i didn't really say.. 2 supposedly 'happy days' of the year, and he didn't care if he'll break my heart..again! didn't even think of how i would feel.. Dang! how selfish can you get.
i heard a million lies.. kept waiting for several nights for things to change.. made excuses for him.. cried for nights.. accepted his hurtful words..sacrificed alot...but i can't be that person anymore....

Today, seeing and tracing all the evidences of betrayal...i can be free and stop blaming myself.. i know im not a perfect girlfriend, but i sure gave him my best! if that wasn't enough, then you're not for me to begin with... i will not settle for less.. and yes, i do agree with your 'parting words'... i DO deserve someone better....
Moving on is never easy but with this situation, i know that is the best thing.. letting you go with a smile, and now, my heart can be whole again. i will never give up and never stop believing that life will be better for me... I WILL BE BETTER!


God will never leave you empty, if something is taken away He will replace it with something better. If He asks you to put something down, it is so you can pick something greater...
