Best profession yet!

I must admit, I am immensely enjoying life as a wife and as a homemaker.

There was a time in my life when I thought I wasn’t cut out for this kind of life, homemaking sounded a little too boring, too insignificant, too unimportant, too small, too ordinary, too outdated… I once felt, and decided that it wasn’t me.

I thought managing a career is a lot more fun, a lot more challenging, a lot more significant and I decided that being a career woman is what today’s empowered woman should be… In power suits, in high heeled patent leather shoes, carrying monogrammed handbags, driving their own expensive car, heading conferences, living fast-paced lives, like a full twenty four hours isn’t enough to get things done…Glamorous! Yeah, the glamour is all too enticing…

Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh!

After the wedding, the honeymoon, the weekend dates and being constantly a twosome, Warren and I finally reached that point where we are already thinking about getting pregnant. Uh-huh, you read it right. PREGNANT. Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh! (spoken in a childlike manner for emphasis) Warren is not oblivious to the fact that I might not be able to give him a child. You see, I was with a man for eight years and not once did I get pregnant, so before our wedding I told Warren about the possibility of my being infertile. He would always display a very positive attitude towards this and there were times I would wish for myself to feel the same way.

Holy, Holy, Holy

Weeks before the Holy Week, the church usually recommends getting a confession, observing fasting and abstinence, eating no pork or beef on Fridays, praying the rosary, and guarding yourself from sin.

At the St. Therese Chapel at UPLB, I usually attend the 5:30 pm mass as much as I can. The chapel is often packed with students, faculties and nuns at this hour. The slow setting of the sun provides warm hues of orange and yellow as the mass proceeds. The wooden altar, with the glass encased images of Mary and St. Therese, is bathed with natural light coming from the tall glass-stained windows from the banister. The sight is just awesome, and couple this with the outstanding choir (Lisieux), you’ll feel like something is possessing you to stay put and absorb the entire homily. It’s the sort of calm that keeps you sane despite voluminous projects, insane reports and deadly exams.

Lately, I’ve been going to the chapel because of an entirely different reason: a crush. He’s a classmate from Class X this semester and just last February, I’ve noticed that he sits at the outer benches to hear mass. At first, I didn’t care. Then came a sort of recitation in our class; the type that makes you do calculations on the board. I’m not so good at math. I can’t do quick mental claculations like other people can and I just hate these on-the-board-calculation-recitations because I tend to freeze and get my solutions wrong (I did fine with my problem by the way). Anyway, when he came to solve his assigned problem on the board, WOW!, he just stood there for about 10 seconds and he’s done! He did it so fast that even my prof was surprised. I have a weakness for guys who are math geniuses so forgive me, please, for being a tad shallow. After seeing that, I saw him in a different light (naks!).

Six Feet Below

The push meets the shove
As I dig a hole in the ground
Lifting chunks of dirt
Thinking it’s worth the whole night

Deeper and deeper the hole gets
As the evening goes with its depth
And those few stars
Dissolve to oblivion
Behind the dark clouds
Hovering me as… READ THE REST>>

sino gusto sumama sa akin magMOTEL?

isa sa mga pinakambisyosang layunin ko ngayong taon na ito, bukod sa mapabilang sa cast ng marimar, ay ang makapunta sa motel at gay bar. nagkataon naman na malapit na ang araw ng mga MOTEL puso kaya nanaisin ko na ipaalam sa lahat na gusto ko makapasok sa motel. as in. super. now na.

“Love is like a rosary that’s full of mysteries.”

That is how a 13-year-old highschool girl defines the word LOVE, without any prior knowledge, experience or basis strong enough to back up those words. But little did she know that she would soon understand the whole truth behind that definition — in a bittersweet way.

That’s basically the plot of last Friday’s Maalaala Mo Kaya episode, “Popcorn.” I assumed from the trailer that this would be one cute, fluffy, and overwhelmingly sweet episode that every hopeless romantic cannot afford to miss. I should know; I wanted to go home to Cavite ASAP so I could watch the entire thing in the comfort of my own room — which I did not get to do because of the damned headache that made me sleep earlier than I wanted.

But thanks to good ‘ol YouTube, I still managed to catch the MMK episode no sweat!

I guess the fact that two very young children are the protagonists of this story makes everything all the more charming and interesting. Wouldn’t you raise eyebrows upon seeing two kids at the verge of adolescence doing BF-GF stuff like holding hands, exchanging rings, and texting lovey-dovey messages? I know I did, but all has been forgotten as I watched the story with a foolish grin on my face as well as occasional gushes and manifestations of kilig. In short, mukha akong tanga habang nanonood nito.

Its the first day of the LOVE month and I’ll bet many of you are already thinking of how you will spend Valentine’s day. Men are keeping a tight watch on their budgets and the women are fantasizing about the romantic day they want to experience.

Personally, I see Valentine’s day as just an ordinary day. Secretly, I am just wistful.

Last Dance Ladies’ Choice at Prom Night

You’re in high school, and it’s Prom Night.  Every girl is dressed like Miss Universe, and every boy is dressed like a waiter in some high-class version of McDonald’s.  You smell magic in the air: it smells like Maybelline New York and Jōvan Musk.  You can make out the faint smell of mothballs from the girls’ tables.  The guy in front of you forgot to take off the tag from his crisp shirt bought from the Van Heusen outlet at SM.   Tonight’s the night!  Weeks of practicing the waltz has led to this one night, where you’d finally take the girl you’re crushing on to the dance floor.  For months, you have longed to sit beside her in class, to admire her perfect penmanship, to take a whiff of her scent that makes you want to go to sleep forever.  Sometimes, she asks for your help for a class assignment, and you stammer your way around the rules of subject-verb agreement.  You can’t even talk to her outside of those topics, but you treasure them, guarding those moments like they were the Holy Grail.

   You call her your “inspiration,” but vehemently deny having romantic feelings for her whenever your friends tease you over a game of DoTA.  “Hinahangaan ko lang naman,” you say in irritation.  But deep in your heart, it’s more than just “admiration.”

   Face it, kid, you’re in love.

Who Would Have Thought?

It’s crazy how a single person can change your ideals in just a snap. When you thought things are already mapped out in your life, someone comes along and changes everything. When you thought that there’s nothing better than living a single life, here he comes, making you realize that life is better when you have a person to go home to, a hand to hold while riding a jeepney, a person to kiss after along day of work and a person to love all the days of your life.

Forgive me, when I’m in love, I say words that I never thought existed.

Have you ever been with someone who literally knocks you off your feet? A person who takes your breath away? A person who makes you head over heels crazy? A person who had you at hello? A person who completes you? And those other chic flick lines which I find stupid, cliché, shallow and plain pathetic. (Now I so hate Jerry Maguire)

Guys, those feelings are R-E-A-L! If only I could find the right words to explain what I am feeling right now. It feels like I’ve started to live life again. Suddenly, I felt an urge to live life for myself and not just for my family. I never knew life could be this better. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with a person, you want the rest of your life to start NOW. The feeling is so overwhelming that you wake up every morning asking your self what you did to deserve someone special. Someone you never thought you’d ever have and someone who makes your life beautiful. *sigh* If having him would feel like this, I shouldn’t have let him in. The happiness he brings is just too much. It’s over flowing and I couldn’t contain it that sometimes, I just want to cry.

I believe and I know that whatever God has planned for us and for whatever the future may bring, everything’s going to be worth it.

He’s worth it. I’m keeping him. I love him and i can love him over and over again.

The Art of Kissing - A Quick Note

I got a copy of “Healthy Options lifestyle news digest” and got into the last page entitled “The Art of Kissing”.

It was the first time I found out about the terms for bad kissers – the lizard, the washing machine, the cannibal, the spelunker. I think I have an idea of the first two but the last two? Those were kinda new to me.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching so it’s about time to improve your kissing skills. On the same article, the following types of kisses were mentioned (lifted by the author from Michael Christian, author of “The Art of Kissing”:

– vacuum kiss, sucking the air out of your partner’s mouth,

– neck kiss, kissing up and down your partner’s neck

– and lip-o-suction, kissing the upper lip while your partner kisses the lower lip and reversing.

Now the only problem is with whom would you practice the art before Valentine’s Day?????

Eight things you should never do on a first date

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who do such wrong things on the first date. I for one have had a lot of negative experiences, like getting slapped, getting slapped, getting slapped. Okay, I was a creep back then, but let’s all concentrate on the topic. This is a guide for neophytes in the dating game.

Please note that each item in this guide outlines a brief summary, appended with a brief scenario on the positive and negative effects of following the item.

1. Don’t be late

It is imperative that you arrive on time for your date. Remember, first impressions last. May I also stress that arriving on time is one of the major prerequisites to a successful date. Arriving early will give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the venue for the date. This means that this allows you to look for the nearest exit in case you need to bail out suddenly and you don’t have the heart to tell your date. Arriving late on the other hand will make you less of a man. Your date may think that, a. you’re a lazy bastard; b. you’re too poor to own a watch; c. you still live with your mom. If you have a problem with time management, then it is recommended that you plan your date 3 months in advance. This gives you the time to plan your drinking sessions, cancel your other dates, ask for date money from your parents. Schmuck.  Continue reading Eight things you should never do on a first date…

pucha naman! bakit ngayon pa umulan?!?
kung kailan naman wala akong dalang payong saka naman umulan ng pagkalakas lakas. pabago bago nga talaga ang panahon–kanina maaraw, ngayon bigla na lang uulan. ayan tuloy, napilitan akong magmadali at tumakbo pauwi ng bahay. kung bakit ba naman kasi naisipan ko pang maglakad lakad.

teka, nasan na ba ako?
sa sobrang pagmamadali ko, hindi ko na napansin kung saang eskinita na ako napadpad. hindi na pamilyar ang lugar na ito sa akin.

One More Chance

“She’s with me at my worst.  You had me at my best.  But you chose to break my heart.”  Words (not exactly verbatim) came out from Popoy when Basia asked him na “ako na lang, ako na lang muli.”

There a lots of lessons to be learned from this movie.  Being a control freak and not allowing your partner to decide on her/his own could ruin a relationship.  Also sometimes we must get hurt for us to realize something, to grow, to mature.  We could only truly love if we learned to love ourselves.  Only mature people could enter a lasting relationship. Also, I learned from Popoy there is this 3 month rule.  After a breakup, one should not accept or court within 3 months.  That is something new!

Popoy and Basia were planning to get married after being lovers for 5 years.  They were also officemates.  However, Basia felt so choked by the controlling Popoy and decided to leave the company and Popoy.  She was fortunate to find another job and started to live out a career she truly enjoyed.  Popoy got devastated.  But he was saved by a singer who became her girlfriend and just recently celebrated their monthsary.

Basia could not hide her jealousy and confessed to Popoy that she still loved him.  Popoy was torn apart but later on decide to choose his true love.  They talked. Instead of getting back quickly, Popoy accepted a 2 year job in Qatar to find the old Popoy in him.  After that, of course, the movie ended up nicely.

Celebrating life, instead!

I wanted to blog something about suicide because of the blog of Liz about another suicide supposedly attributed to poverty, and because I want to advocate that the media should stop this media-hype because of the possibility that suicide might actually be “copied” and misconstrued that it is cool to commit suicide as what Prudence has mentioned in her blog as Werther Syndrome.

I had to refresh my psychology since it was already eons ago! I rummaged through the net and looked for theories of attribution, cognitive dissonance and suicide itself. But then, discussing suicide is in itself mind-boggling. So, I decided not to discuss suicide for several reasons:

It has nothing to do with the Glorietta Mall Blast Explosion… I just feel bad for days and stuffs…
18th of October supposed to be the 7th month anniversary of me and my tar… I have to admit that he was never the kind of man who remembers everything about “US” - he was never the sweet one though he used to be one…

We started out as friends. I was his confidante, his friend, and I was the only person whom he trusted with his deep dark secrets. I was the one who listens to all his heart problems. I was even the one who taught him that “Time will heal all his wounds.”

Whenever he’s hurting it’s me who’s beside him. I did give him my shoulder for him to cry on. There were a lot of times that he feels like shit and unworthy to be loved. But I made him feel that maybe that one person he fell in love with isn’t the right one for him…
