5 months

No i am not pregnant (lol)! Wow it's been 5 months since i last blogged. Has it been that busy? I haven't really been doing anything but eat, sleep, and eat some more haha. Surprisingly i lost weight. Maybe because my husband eats so little I've adapted to his eating habits. And yes i finally have a husband lol. I was reading through my blog entries two years ago and how funny how i was searching for "the one". Amazing enough, he found me! :) So far... marriage is great!

Converting to housewife status after 7 straight years of waking up at 6am to go to work was quite difficult in the beginning. How difficult? I'd wake up at 6am instead of 9! That's how! hehe... and now my husband is proud of me that i have well adapted to my new status! :) I don't quite miss working just yet. I have a good excuse not to right now. But i know at some point i will.

I have been pre-occupied with a new hobby. And i have created a new blog for it too: http://acreativeniche.blogspot.com/. This is what i have been busy with for the past 5 months.

Austin Powers

It's been a hectic 2 months... from resignation to packing to moving... if i look back i can't believe i actually went through all of that. Life changing moments indeed which even lead to a panic attack. I didn't even know the term existed until it happened to me.

And now i sit in my new room... in my new house... in a new neighborhood... in a new country. All my life i have always wondered how it would be like to live in this country... or how it would be like to be with the man of my dreams... living a life that was merely a thought... a dream not so many years ago. So this is how it feels.

I love this place. So similar to Baguio with all its greeness and fresh air. The curvy hills and flowers. Not to mention of course that the most special person in my life is right here. So many more moments to share and enjoy. Everyday since i arrived has been close to perfect. A new hobby has come out of me, i finally started to learn how to cook. I did pretty well on my first meal and surprisingly i find myself enjoying in the kitchen. I think i can get used to this for the next 90 years. :)

The powers of Austin has definitely laid itself on me.

Asiawealth Tower

White tables... gone... black metal folding chairs... gone... closet... gone... all sold. Next weekend my TV set and personal ref will be picked up. Now i can really feel that my days in this condominium unit are almost over. Just a little over a week from now, i head up to Baguio to bond with my family and friends before i move to the United States to start a whole new life.

I remember the day when i saw this unit. I was with my broker. And as soon as i stepped into this place i knew this would be my home during my days in Manila. It was newly painted, all white. It was big enough to fit an individual. I felt the excitement of living alone for the first time, to feel the independence. To have the feel of decorating it the way i want it. I truly enjoyed the ammenities this place had to offer. During my masters days i would swim in the pool at 7am every other day. I would also spend quite a few times in the sauna and the gym. Since i didn't get an airconditioner, staying in this unit in the middle of the day would even serve as a sauna. :)

I got myself into painting in the first few months of my independent living. I felt the joys of just lounging around watching tv and snacking on junk food. I came home anytime i wanted. But of course it wasn't all fun all the time, bills had to be paid. This is the place where i learned to be independent and learned more on the value of money.

I look around this place and see the material things i was able to buy through the months. It makes me realize that one of my dreams had come true. It gets me emotional to think that i have to let all of these go. My hard earned money was put into these. But amidst all that emotion, i feel this happiness deep inside that there is a BIG reason why i have to let them all go. :)

And as i sit here thinking of all the things i have to do before i give this up, i also just smile at the thought of the day i will soon be in the arms of my love of my life... very soon.

Dazzled

I sit here with a Bridal Guide magazine infront of me... sometimes i think i am in a dream... so i pinch myself and realize how much that hurt... i guess this is indeed all real :)

Who knew i would meet the man of my dreams 10 months ago... maybe it was fate... even destiny... all i know is that he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Eight months from the first time i ever heard from him i knew this was The One for me. And his promise only proves me right. :)

I am truly happy right now and i thank HIM up there every single day for giving me this feeling. Everything happens for a reason and after all the heartaches and difficulties through the years, if it all boils down to this, it was all worth it.

No one has ever made feel as loved and cared for with a simple squeeze of the hand... who made me laugh at silly little things... who made me talk about even the most bizarre topics... who simply makes me smile with his smile...

And approximatelly less than 14 months from today, the thought of walking down that red carpet toward the man i will spend the rest of my life with dazzles me. A little over a month i leave this table and these things around me behind... toward a new life... a new beginning... there are no words to describe my enthusiasm... to that man i am about to start a new life with... I Love You... :)

Brain Cells

Lazy, gloomy Thursday afternoon, ¾ of my brain cells have fallen asleep… I need to wake them up and work information is just putting them more to sleep… and so I blog…

Just a few more days and I am off to Boracay. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and will give me at least one spectacular sunset. It has been raining the past few days. The rainy season has begun. My mind wanders off to the soft white sand. Just laying there beside the special someone in my life, I wonder what is in store for me… for us… aaahhhh such a wonderful trip to look forward to… :)

Another weekly conference call coming up… same old issues… just 1/8 of my brain cells are sleeping now… back to reality for me…

Miss Bliss

It's 10:40am on a beautiful sunday morning... laying on a tower deck with a fantastic view... this could be the perfect relaxation moment...

This has been a great chilax weekend so far. We arrived the Balai Resort around 3am saturday morning. It took so long for us to get here because we took the wrong turn from the toll exit and got lost... just one wrong turn and it made all the difference. But of course I didn't mind since i was knocked out almost 3/4 of the time... hehe...

I have done nothing the whole weekend but eat... eat... sleep... and eat... :) This definitely relieves all the stress from work. I think the last time i went to the beach was more than a year ago. The breeze right this very moment is just making it all close to perfect. A view of the white clean sand, calm clear waters, hearing the splash of the water as it ruffles on the shoreline... birds chirping... i could fall asleep right here...

How i wish that right this very moment i am with someone who is halfway around the world from me... someone who would have made this setting... PERFECT...

Who would have thought that a fully booked plane would lead to what it is now... he got a seat beside my friend... coincidence? fate? or destiny? hmmmm...

Just one more weekend and we will be together again. Perhaps create a setting that is more than perfect. We are set to fly to boracay on the day he arrives. :)

Everything has been going well so far. I appreciate every single effort that he contributes to this relationship. I never realized how hard a long distance relationship is until now. But because of the effort from both sides, i think that everything will just work out. I can't wait to visit him a few months from now. I thank HIM once again for giving me an opportunity to be able to have the chance to do that. Some couples in the same situation aren't even given the slightest chance... Fate falling into place? maybe so....

My eyes are getting heavy... the sound of the waves and the cool breeze are the perfect ingredients for a sleeping pill... hehe... so i slowly doze of with a smile.. thinking that right this very moment... someone who is so special to me is sleeping soundly... i miss him...
