A special guy in my life

Posted on by

I met him 2 years ago, around end of December. At first I thought he was really cute and he spoke with a twang. But there were times he drove me crazy because his requests were demanding, frankly also a bit spoiled. Nonetheless, I loved him to bits. And I can’t wait to see him again.

Today is his most special day. And because I’m so far away from him, it was hard to get him a gift. So instead, I did something for him. I created my very first digital scrapbook. :) (bear with me this is very amateurish, but I enjoyed the hours I spent in doing this, because it’s coming from love).

just a little something

I watched something like this performed by the kids of Don Bosco during something similar to a world youth day. Just thought I’d share with you. It was amazing and super fun to watch.

Enjoy. :)

I’m pissed at someone from work. Chie says “o dont be bad trip na.. or cge, be bad trip but be beautifully bad trip!”. Nice. Pano? Kate wouldn’t be too happy. Super dooper hard to choose higher self. Thank goodness my biatch, Kris coming back tonight from month long training. Looking forward to it. Actually harv, the husband, is much excited. I left the condo with him having the cleaners in, and his mom decorating the house with xmas decors. (I’d be much impressed if you did it, dude. But sige na nga. It’s the thought that counts).

Thanks to Ate for cheering me up. And yes, my situation isn’t that bad. :) Just give me tonight lang. Tomorrow I’ll be done.

What I need

Snagged a tag from this site I bloghopped into, Joy. Nice, nice.

Instruction: Go to google, write your name and the word “needs” in the google and click the Goggle Search button. Just for fun, see what comes out of your search. And then comment whether you do need what google says. :)

(I tried Yevka needs, but didn’t get any results. So I stuck with Evelyn needs instead).

  • Evelyn needs all the help it can get – it? yeah i need help.
  • Evelyn needs to socialize with him and his wife for a “look” for herself – um.. no. Haha! It could have stopped at “Evelyn needs to socialize” and I’d have agreed.
  • Evelyn needs to develop positive relationships with women – um. maybe…. but maybe need positive relationship with men more.
  • Evelyn needs to go home – hahahahaha! on most days, this would have been true. Today, I’m killing time.
  • Evelyn needs to move – heehee. yeah true.
  • Evelyn needs to learn anger management – hmmm. maybe…
  • Evelyn needs your help to win Miss Student 2007/8 — ah hahahhaha! no.
  • Evelyn needs Tenants – ooh yeah. Perfect for work.
  • Evelyn needs our Prayers and Chickens and such – Chickens? huh? Prayers, yes I need.
  • Evelyn needs Her Family – yeah I do.

Have a break! Go tag yourself!

A work in progress

I have come to realize that I have 2 states of I am’s that I wasn’t particularly happy with. I’ll talk about the other at a later post and concentrate on one now. According to Kate, I have to look at things at a non-judgmental, it’s all good attitude. And that became particularly difficult when I think about these 2 states of I ams.

Here’s my first state that I’m not particularly happy with. It’s the knowing that I am unsure and unclear of what I want particularly in my professional life. The hardest question for me to answer seems to be “What do you want?”. I don’t know. “What if you knew?”. **Blank**. So much for growth seminars. They would probably disown me as a graduate. :idea:

I had this notion before that once you “grow up”, you’re set. The future is happening. And that you’re merely living it out. I was thinking that being unclear happens to teeners and fresh grads, not to those near 30s, and there must be something wrong with you if you feel this way, in a big-Loser kinda way.

Sixties kunwa

Here’s the closest I got to trying to recreate our dress up Christmas party at work. (There was no decent camera, nor any decent pose, so no decent view of what I wore, bear with me.) This was one taken during a game with my colleague (I didn’t play too well, too constricted with the short *dress*.) Take note. That’s fishnet. Hahaha!

Quick question. How is it that the guys didn’t need that much of an effort to create a sixties look? While the girls had to go all out, just to show that we’re from that era.

Click here for pics. :) Btw… just in case lang you ask… my answer is “no comment”.

:glee:

Attitude of gratitude

Posted on by

Today I commit to be thankful for every moment, experience and memory that happens against all odds, even if things go not as well as I’d like it to – starting at 10am and ending at 10pm. I’m putting it into a timeline because it’ll be easier to track down progress. And hopefully how I do today will help me gauge how I will “be” tomorrow.

10am: My first call of thankfulness is towards my officemates who make my day by teasing me like crazy and making me laugh.

11am: I’m thankful for a dedicated boss who encourages me follows up with me continuously and encourages me to work.

12nn: Thankful for my friend who came to my *rescue* in my need to make things right.

1pm: For the wonderful bonding session with a friend I haven’t seen for quite some time over a sumptuous lunch.

2pm: For being looked up to and making me feel that I add value. For being trusted.

3pm: Thankful for afternoon coffee to help me keep awake.

4pm: For being introduced to people with so much integrity, who proved to me that power is not evil.

5pm: For still having the knack to be a true blue bolera. :glee:

6pm: I am thankful for the people in the office who come together, and work together, in spite of each others differences – and for understanding that they are different.

7pm: For having the opportunity to see one of my closest friends in the planet who I haven’t met for ages.

8pm: Most thankful to talk to someone who gives me the opportunity to see a different perspective and a little bit of clarity.

9pm: I am thankful for the ride home, safely and soundly, which is a pleasant change (since I’m mostly a driver, rather than passenger).

10pm: For finally being able to say, it was a good day and hoping for more blessings the next day.

Time for parties

Last Tuesday, Admin circulated a memo about our Christmas party this coming Friday. The theme is Psychedelic Christmas and it’s a costume party. The party caught me unaware (huwhat?! Friday na ang Christmas party?!) and left me without a costume to wear nor a gift to give.

I have zero imagination, and needed the help of the world wide web to give me an idea of what is psychedelic. After viewing pictures of The Supremes, Austin Powers, The Beatles, etc., I asked my colleague to accompany me to buy an outfit that will bring me back to the that era.

Do you have any idea how ridiculously hard that was?! And how I felt ridiculously silly. Oh, if I could just NOT go. Haay. My only consolation is that, I wouldn’t be the only one who will look silly. At least we’re a whole group. (If I end up to be the only one wearing teased, big or flyaway hair, so help me…)

Anyway, I’m still running around looking for fishnet stockings to complete my already ridiculous image. A trip to SM is in order…

I wonder if I have the guts to post pics of our party tomorrow. :???: esep esep.
