A small part of me wishes to go back to when it was “easier”, where we didn’t need to cross continents just to see each other, where it was just “us”, and our statuses were all the same. Where we didn’t encounter the “money” problems, and we were still ideally the best of friends.

Just for this moment, to all my girlfriends, I miss you and me and us, and what seems to be better days.

P.s. yes this is for you! I’m not being subtle. I’m telling you that it is not ok to keep me in the dark, only to find out in fb that you have planned trips or expenses. That you have had exciting weekends that probably cost money. Get your act together! Get a job and quit blaming the world. Be creative and do not be impulsive.

Paki baba na lang ng bagong kilay ko…

Here goes.  There was the:

1. Change of job (what I’ve wanted for such a long time) which includes the pay hike (yay!) and the more-in-tune-with-what-I’ve-done-and-not-a-junior role;
2. Then there was the change of home address (3 times, if I may add);
3. Oh, and there was my first relatively “big” move in making an investment (FTW);
4. Unfortunately, there were “linoko mo ako” moments (no, this was not love related; yes, it was quite serious) (WTF);
5. And finally, just as the last quarter approached, there was suddenly a change of heart. And the world was bright and happy again.  And welcoming 2012 was more in tune with my personal commitment to being responsible for my own happiness.

It’s been forever since I last posted, but what else is new? 

Ayusin dapat ang “Christmas text” kay girlaloo/boylaloo. Wag mashadong pa-demure, wag pa-give away and most importantly, Landi moderately!

Eto ang guidelines for #ChristmasText.

1. Pag crush mo talaga, send the text twice para sure-shot
2. Isa isang MWAH lang.. pag double mwah, buking ka!
3. Mwah + smiley is acceptable because it’s Christmas naman so you can push the limit ng konti
4. Instead of “i love you”, send “labyu” or “labshoo” para safe.. you can add “haha” sa dulo for ultra safe mode!
5. Banatan mo ngayong palang ng malupet na msg but dont forget to put the words “before the networks get busy..” sa start
6. If ur torpe, u can do the “fake call” method: missed call lang then sabay txt, “i wanted to call u sana but i couldnt get thru so txt nalng”
7. For the malakas loob: CALL him/her at midnight! start with a malanding “hey” then, “just wanted to be the 1st to greet u a Merry Christmas”
8. LANDI MODERATELY: DONT combine ‘mwah’, ‘hehe’ and ‘:)’ in one msg! just choose 2 out of the 3!
9. You can use the line “you know what..i prayed for you during the Christmas mass” BUT don’t forget the “hehehehe” after!
10. Limit your landi #christmastexts to 3 girlaloos/boylaloos.. edit edit mo ng konti. Manila is too small.. baka mabuking ka!
11. ENTER the NAME before typing the message to avoid WRONG SEND! patay ka kung malandi ang message mo tapos sa iba napadala
12. Ok lang ang “i miss you” pero mas malupet ang “i wish you were here with me now”.. don’t forget the HEHE after!
13. Kung away mo ng smiley, pwede rin ang heart icon ” <3
14. To keep the texting going.. make sure may question sa dulo. Example: “so, did you open your gifts na?”
15. Never include girlaloo/boylaloo in the generic text list… dapat special para naman may kilig factor!
16. Compose mo na ang message ngayon palang para mamaya, SEND nalang! Mahirap mag-isip during Noche Buena or pag laseng!
17. Pag hindi nagreply, wala na tayong magagawa..basta do your part. Wag mo na tanong if he/she got your message.. bahala sya!
18. If girlaloo/ boylaloo replies, wait at least 5 minutes para you don’t look atat and kunyari busy-busy ka.. for calls, wait for 5 rings
19. LASTLY.. NEVER say the words “I love you” if you don’t mean it or if you’re drunk! Gulo yan! Ayusin natin mga buhay natin!

Just random things I read.   :

Goodbye Xpress.

It’s funny to have mixed feelings, when I’ve wanted this for so long. I should be relieved and excited. Which I am, for sure. But I’m also scared and a teenie bit sad. I feel I’m being yanked out of my comfort zone and that’s scary stuff. It’s never sad about the leaving. It’s about letting go of the familiar, and moving to something I am not sure of what will happen. The people I’m leaving behind saw me at my best and worst, and accepted me for that. I’m not sure of how the new company will take the “badder” part of me. Also, I don’t know if you’ve felt this, but I fear I’ve got nothing more to “give”. I still question whether this really is where I want to be.

Well, that’s the scared side of me that I accept and acknowledge. But as I said, it’s just a side. The bigger part of me is excited and relieved, ecstatic and grateful. And I celebrate that because I know I deserve. Oh and have I mentioned reward? Hello iphone4! Swanky new gadget because I’ve reached part 1 of my goal.

My new “home” is a marketing consultancy firm. I’d like to believe that it’s a step up after my Pronove Tai days. (Previous company seemed to be a step down). I’ll be able to talk more once I start, but rest assured the moola is a definite plus. Do I hear a ka-ching??

That’s my latest. What’s going on with you?

P.S. if you’re on iPad, iPhone, etc, add Viber to your apps and add me there.

And another saying, tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are. I disagree.

That’s how far I’ll go with my updates.
