A V-day post.

I've always believed that God has carefully planned my life for me...

That's why I do not regret any experience and simply enjoy the wonderful blessings that come my way.

I recently had a realization that I'd like to share...

So far, my boyfriend count has been: ONE.
And I plan to keep it that way!
And people would almost always be amazed that I've been keeping a relationship with only ONE person for more than SIX YEARS...
And, for some reason, as a common "outlet" of love stories-slash-problems, in the end the people I've come to talk to would eventually say how lucky I am with my "love life"...
And i just smile.

I never expected I would have someone who is smart, independent, 101% responsible, super loyal, extra sweet, understanding, and loving. (cheesy, i know!)

Anyway,

At this point in our relationship, we're honestly talking and opening up to the idea of the big M... Marriage.
It's actually never been taboo for us.
In fact, we're looking forward to it!
And belonging to a generation where people marry very young...
We secretly get jealous of people who could afford a house or condo, and a fancy wedding at a young age...
When we stress out at the office (him even trying to find sideline work), put aside some money with our mean salary (considering he has to pay rent, the car loan, and bills, and i have siblings to support)...
Earning gradually, our closest time to getting married would be in 2-3 years...considering we already have a decent place to live and a budget for an intimate wedding in Caleruega...

But hey!
What's the rush?

My realization is this:
We are on the right track.

Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of spending for my family.
I love buying them gifts I never thought I'd afford...
And I love the satisfaction I get from earning!
I have another account where i deposit a percent of my salary every payday, and Jejo has the ATM card so I don't get to use it, except for emergencies of course :p

And another thing, I love the feeling of missing him, because we only see each other once a week...
I enjoy the boyfriend-girlfriend hangouts and adventures to new experiences and places (places we couldn't go to before kasi wala pang car!)
I secretly fancy the petty fights that don't last for a few minutes.
I like to talk to him about everything: my success and failures, how my day went, what i discovered, what i bought, when i feel like ranting about something ETC!
I'm a bliss when he calls me at night before we go to sleep...and calls me in the morning when he wakes up (special thanks to SUN of course)...

And so, I truly believe God has this planned for us...
We just have to wait for our right time.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Cheers to True Love!

dizizzit. (vroom vroom...wee!)

at last the dream has come true...

and i am so uberduber happy for him

simply bliss...

seventy second month.

despite the myth and sayings that we wont last after the seventh year
(which is 12 months from today).
...and despite the fact that we're kilometers apart now.

so whut.

myths are fiction.
distance is not an issue.
...because what we have is real and that the extent of space between us is just blank, so there's no stopping us from seeing each other.
diba?

this is it!

officially ako'y gradweyt na.
Good Riddance pa nga ang graduation song hehe.

CONGRATULATIONS nga pala sa lahat ng UP Centennial Graduates!
sa lahat lahat narin ng Gumradweyt ngyong taon!

But i will definitely miss the haven of the ikot jeep, pisbol en isaw, Akasya trees, and the open-armed, bare and copper idol known as the oblation!
ah Peyups!
nasa stage ako ngayon ng nostalgia. sorry naman.
kasi naman, isang linggo lang ang pahinga ko.
i'll be starting work on Monday!
ahoo! yuppie-ness...

and as i was preparing the employment requirements needed this week...
all i can say is...HAGGARD. haggard kumuha ng TIN number, SSS, NBI clearance, Philhealth etc etc!
RAWR!
heniwei, one month completion pa naman.
and i won't be getting my NBI clearance till the 15th dahil...no, la naman po akong criminal offense, may kapangalan lang daw kasi ako. ilan kaya ang Maria Angelica Flores Castro sa Pilipinas?
plus, the release of my TOR and COG aren't till the 22nd.
so there.
at ang kagamitan ko mula sa Tandang Sora ay di ko pa na-uunpack!
bukas, early morning promise
ihahanda ko pa ang kagamitan na dadalin ko sa sunday.
magma-migrate naman kasi ako sa kamag-anakan ko sa Paranaque. hehehe.
sampid na naman ako haha.
it's kinda ok really, kasi most of my cousins there are on the Labor Force narin.
oo, yuppies kami dun. harhar.
huhu, pero ang layo na ni enok...
huwah!
siguro nga'y panibagong milestone na kasi ito sa buhay.
kailangan maghanap-buhay. mag-ipon.
para sa pamilya...sa pamilya ko ha...may mader en pader en siblings...
hehehe. pero kung sa tingin mo may double-meaning iyon. sige. bahala ka.
anyway, speaking of family...kaarawan ni mama kahapon!
yes, Labor Day siya ini-labor ng lola ko haha. joke.
and today is my parents' 21st anniversary! (ahuh. right, my age plus 1)...by the time i'm 24 silver wedding na nila! wee!
pero ngayon simpleng celebration lang. nothing fancy.
and speaking of enok, magkikita kami bukas!
deyt! deyt!
hehehe.
sine daw kami at kain sa labas.
Ironman!
at sagot niya sapagkat unang sweldo. yay!
but come to think of it, lagi naman niya akong nililibre :p
anyway, ayun.
before i enter the realm of the yuppy, eh i had a week of rest and fun with the people i truly care about ...my pamilee is the most important fersons in my layp ika nga...
and hmm, what else? i watched OTH and Gossp Girl (grr to Georgina!)
and i ate my heart out with nips-like chocochips, mangoes, and ice cream.
hmph. kasya pa naman sakin ang pantaon ko. di naman ako lumalamon. haha.






"real world!" here i come!

yak.

entry ends here.
resume thesis chovalens.

basta ako may superman watch.

i hate issues.

they're so...chorva.

ha!

may panandaliang kadramahang naganap sa mga mata kong epal nung isang araw. dala lang siguro ng kung anu anong iniisip. may mga mahahalagang pangyayari kasi na pinalampas ko dahil ng mga sakripisyong nalalaman...

oh well, on the brighter side, i get to go home this weekend for MY DAY..isang chorvang araw lang naman. di ko rin matiis ang pamilya ko. i miss them very much. and our house, and monica, and my bed, and the cool provincial breeze, and the quiet neighborhood. yak. nostalgic mode.

pero, kailangan ko paring makatapos sa takdang oras. walang dapat magalaw sa iskedyul ng produksyon...ang presentasyon keri lang. pero di maaring mag-lax. may debut pa ng mahal kong pinsan at UP fair akong balak namnamin. hehehehe. kaya eto, magpupuyat. isang linggo nalang or so...konti nalang. kahit lumayo pa...konti nalang...

...

naiisip mo siguro kung anung ibig sabihin ng blog title ko noh?

haha. dahil yan sa isang enok. na kahit libre lang sa job fair eh nakakatuwang surprisa na gumawa ng araw ko, kahit namimilipit na nung mga sandaling iyon ang sinumpong kong "tiyan".

(half awake) anu yan?...

(may inilalagay sa kamay) libre lang sa job fair.

(bangag) ahh...okay...salamat. (balik tulog) zzzzzzz....

Tsaka ko lang naisip ang mga kaganapan pagkagising ko. haha. ang kyut ng watch! wee! lab et. kahit libre, eh ano. haha. enok. napaka enok.

congrats enok. (plus pics)

 HAPPY DAY!

first week of school kwento...

nyay...

first week of school! balik peyups na naman! tambak na agad ng kwento! hehe...

FIRST DAY HIGH: June 12, 2007. Tuesday. Independence Day supposedly. Hmm..i didn't feel the independence day hype...nakakalungkot rin. kung dati may program pa nga yan sa skul eh...pero nagparamdam ang independence day sakin dahil ng colorful straws namin nila dennen at talia...

no classes sa LA 199.1 (thesis)...ambait talaga ni Sir VJ o...ayun, finally na-assess na ang nabubulok kong form 5! hehehe..paid 6,063.50php...nyak...cheap i know, pero utang pa yang pambayad ko jan FYI...mmhhmmm...money isn't easy nowadays, kaya laking pasasalamat ng magulang ko at di ako apektado ng tatlong daang porsiyento ng pagtaas ng tuition...haay, napagtatanto ko tuloy ang pangarap kong mag-secong degree ng Visual Communications o Interior Design...ang mahal! mahigit 20k daw ang tuition ng ate ni Talia na 1st year Law student...nyay! mahal!

anyway, may class kay Ma'am G as usual...pero saglit lang..ang no 4-5 class! hehehe...bihira daw kasi pumasok si Sir Lim, lalo na't first day....bow.

SECOND DAY: Wednesday. UPCLAS GA, Vid shoot, and Photo op. MASAYA SUPER! end of story...i shall nakaw pix from cathe and dennen sooner or later *sniff*i miss CaPow*

THIRD DAY: Thursday. Triple GE day! nyak. nalate ako sa KOM1 kumusta naman. grabeh ang traffic sa Balara...now i've learned my lesson, better very early than very late ! hehehe...therefore, sasabay nako sa 6:30 na pagaalis ng pinsan ko to school....

STS ang next subject ko...hehe...nakaka-overwhelm ang subject...why? (cge i-aadvertise ko):

1. flexible ang course topics...as in varied and broad ang lectures. example: about robots, computers, ET life, about love (yes, c/o a prof from Psych ata), rizal as a scientist, sci-fi films (c/o a prof from MassComm) etc....ang dami eh, di ko memorize lahat ng lectures hehehe...

2. interdisciplinary. group of faculty from different colleges ang lecturers: from CS (of course), Engg, CAL, CSSP, MassComm, CHE....

3. ver comfy sa CS auditorium...hehehe (ganun?)

eniwey, next class is NatSci2 na dapat ay sa NIGS pero sa CS audi narin kaya di nako aalis ng CS after STS...hehehe...prof ko si Sir CP David who's so humorous na parang walang ka-effort-effort...grabeh...fun class! but he'll only be teaching Geol...hay boring daw ang Bio prof ayon kay Ayit...owel...keri...

end of day.

LAST DAY OF FIRST WEEK: Friday.ayan, sumabay nako sa pagaalis ng aking mga pinsan...i'm early for skul pero at least hindi late! hehe...may class na sa LA 199.1...medyo na-pressure ako plus na-excite narin sa "thesis" ...dan-dan-dan-dan! (beethoven playing in my mind as sir dan's name plus thesis pop's up)...rar...may assignment that i have yet to do...hmm, maybe a bit later hehehe...wha! grabeh! wala nang atrasan toh! diz izit! thesis nah!!!!!! wha! i have sudden nostalgia of my first year of college...parang kahapon lang naliligaw pa ko sa UP...hay...blockmates! kaya natin toh! yay! cathe! ina! nawa'y ituloy natin ang thesis house sa second sem...i really feel i need the support system by then hehehe....

si mam G nag lecture at nagpa-sketch opcors ever...nyay...parang di ako na-satisfy sa dinrawing kow...owel...

wala na namang 4-5 clas! yey! go home na...care of Jared and Jig's car, jejo and i went home to Lipa...hehe...shux, ang mahal nga lang ng gas at toll...owel, keri...tsk, ang magkapatid na yun ay nasa abroad na...isa sa states and isa nag-China...how i wish to travel rin...and work abroad! not patriotic i kno, at least i'm no hypocrite...i really want to work abroad...ok ok...nawala sa topic...

CONCLUSIONS:

this AY is the hardest enrollemt phenomenon ever! mahal na ang tuition ng freshie, hirap pa mag-enlist and enroll! kumonti ang mga naglalakad sa UP...tila yata dumami ang naka-car..yay...UP? is dat you? parang mga rich kid narin ang naglipana...
