Birthday Blog

OMG! I missed a birthday blog this year. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Anyway, think it's still August. :)

I'm 31!!! My gosh! And yes, despite my not-so-baby fats, I FEEL FAB. I almost always do. I don't when I'm cooking Crispy Pata and the oil is splattering explosively on me and I get burns which turn into scars and I smell fried. Anyway, I get my reward after so I don't mind. Briane doesn't mind either. He still kisses me even when I look like the Crispy Pata itself. I hope he doesn't change. hehe..

There's a huge difference between being 29 and being 30. Funny because I didn't feel the same when
I was 28 and then when I turned 29. I guess it's the change of decade. Right now, I'm much more in a hurry. There's a lot of things I want to do with just very little time. I want to travel with Briane but that'd mean saving, which would take time. At the same time I want to have a kid because I'm 31 and my chance is getting slimmer by the minute. And we all know THAT needs the grandest preparation. Tsk. AAAHHHHHHH! PRESSURE!!!

Yes, I'm ready to be a mother.
I want to be a mother.
I think I will be a great mother.

So in conclusion: THE EARLY 30s ARE A BITCH!

Still, just like always, I don't have the right to whine. I'm probablyl one of the most blessed people in the world (Thank you God, You are the greatest). I am just being human. I feel the pressure. And I hate it. I guess, it's better than being numb and oblivious.

So in celebration of what could be the most stressful year of my life, here's a picture of my very stressed self:

mwuahahahahaha!

'Til my next birthday! xxx

It's Our First Anniversary!

Hello everyone! What's up? :0

This month, Briane and I celebrated our first year anniversary. People say, "time flies when you're having fun". It's true! I feel like we just laughed (and ate!) our way through our relationship. No kidding. I mean, we've had bad days, LQs, dramas, but at the end of it all, we just laughed (and then ate).

Briane is a natural comic and he said that one of his missions in life is to make me laugh. Exactly how you get a girl! ;) I, on the other hand.. Well, you know!


So, in between transferring to a new account, 2 jobless situations, and 2 hospitalizations, here we are, laughing (and eating!)
Anyway, I'd like to share with you pics from our anniv. I know.. "yawn", right? Well, it's a big deal for me because it's my first time to celebrate an anniversary with the person I'm in a relationship with.  The only other time was a long distance relationship, which really sucked then. Ok, so THAT, plus, you'll see that I am now bigger, rounder, fatter! Maybe, when you're happy you don't care about your figure anymore? NO. I am happy but I do still care about my figure AND health -- all the more now! It's just.. the party invites! Of course I can't say no - it's rude!

Ok, so here -- we had lunch at Tokyo Table. Food was really good except the sushis and sashimis and makis. Ironic that what's supposed to be their specialty isn't their best. I love jap food, and we chose to be there for that reason so it's kind of dissapointing for me. But all's well that ends well. The unlimited dessert! Oh...

who ate more??? ;)

we had to ask the waitress (who's very nice, btw), right?

Briane ate them all! I swear!

the resto. not a great pic quality - this is from a phone cam.

where's my wasabi???

ask me how many times did Briane go for another glass??? ASK ME! hehe..

i had to take a pic with the warrior

Briane's Miley Cyrus look! hahahahhahahaha

full and happier!
Then we headed to Mr. A, at Lower Busay to "chill". It's one of my favorite places in Cebu. The view's just awesome. Their coffee mixes and cakes are not bad as well. Well, too sweet for Briane's taste. We've been there a few times but for that night, we had beers and Crispy Pata. If you wanna go there, bring jackets as it gets cold at night.

we were their first guests!

and you have this for free

dating tip 1: put your phone down! haha
look what we did.....

look what HE did! hahahaha

I love the flavored beer (lemon). Briane went light - he has to drive
we couldn't grin more!
"The truth is sometimes things aren't exactly what you always imagined... they're even better!" One of my faves from the movie What A Girl Wants. I have always imagined what it's like to find someone you can really have fun with, and at the same time, you can really trust during the hard days.. and now, it's all happening.. and it's better! I am one very lucky woman!

Lastly, I want to share what Briane has to say..


Here's to forever! ♥♥♥

Thanks for reading you guys! And thank you for all your messages! And as you can see, I'm ok. And if I'm not, you'd know. I just don't have much time for blogging anymore. But this is hopefully a start.

What's Going On?

Hey guys! I hope you're all doing well. I, on the other hand, am under a lot of pressure. My bosses transferred me and some of my colleagues to a technical account and if you guys have been reading my blog for a while now, you'd know that I don't have a single techical nerve in my body. So yes, I am kind of having a hard time. And with that, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the coolest, most systematic and patient trainer ever, Sir Lee. I will not put his full name because I didn't ask permission, I might get sued. Haha! Now I know what modems, routers, filters, etc. are! Isn't that amazing? So, despite the pressure, I am having fun. Learning is, so to all the young people out there, STAY IN SCHOOL!

Tsk.

I now own more flats (shoes - due to my herniated disc). And my latest buy is this:

I am not giving up on high heels but damn, those babies are so comfy and uniquely fashionable! In fact, one of my fashion blogger friends from WIWT has one of those! Hers is Nike and you can check her blog here. I wear mine with capris/shorts with tees, and jersey/shirt dresses. One time, I wore it with my boyfriend's Polo Shirt. You gotta buy a pair! It's quite an investment!

And speaking of my boyfriend, I gotta share one of our chats on Facebook. I just thought it's funny. This was fairly recent, while he's making his report and I was just browsing through sites and was bored.. and yes, we're facing each other! love, love, love! :)


 And here's us on our 8th month of being together (last week) - we drowned ourselves with calories! 



'Til next time! God bless you all! xxx

9-Yr. PROJECT PINK Memory

Today is a sad day for me. Today, I say goodbye to Project Pink, the account where I've been working for 9 years. The only word that can sum up my whole life with Pink is "GROWTH", in all aspects; mentally, emotionally, socially, and the most obvious, physically.

I am excited for the next account I will be with, but Project Pink will always hold a huge part of my life and of my heart. It's where I met some really great people.

Goodbye to the HAPPIEST account...
Partying - Brownan Revival was our guest band.

Greek Party. I don't know what's wrong with me here.

One of the many lunches. Here we are at KFC!

My batch. At that time, I never thought I would like the account so much, I'd last for 9 years.

I was a member of the first BOPPERS who represented our account, and we were the champs! REPRESENT!
