coming soon....

yahoo! can't wait!

goodbyes and heartaches

Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes,
And don't you know
This is the news of my life....

I'm finding out that saying goodbye is a hard thing to do. But as they say, life goes on and people move on.

Last night, I went out with my officemates. Once again, I felt sentimental and sad, just sad. Sometimes, I imagine how it would be like..not seeing these familiar faces anymore. It will be soooo different. But these are the choices I made. A different life for me! I just pray that someway, somehow, I have touched their lives...and they have seen (even just a glimpse) God's goodness through me. Then I'll know that I have not failed as a friend/officemate/confidant to these people. I prayed last night. I asked God to comfort me. I felt peace and I felt that things will be okay as long as I lean on Him. I'm still scared but I know that my God will not forsake me.

'nuff said.

ka-namit! I looooove veggies!


Okay fine. I'm not really posting anything, huh? I promise to update everyone in maybe two week's time. Work's pretty hectic since I have to complete my turnover lists. Plus, a real date with Cesar in two weeks! This is the longest we have been apart (3 whole months!). I just can't wait to see him again....

=)

ka-namit!

late nights

Yesterday, a woman's dead body was found along Pasong Tamo Extension. She was raped and her skull was smashed. She worked in the same building where I work. Everybody was talking about it. It made me think. I love staying late in the office. I love going to work early too. Sometimes, I'm in the office by 530am just to beat the morning traffic. The girl who was raped and killed would go to work at 6am everyday. Her body was found at 8am. Maybe I have seen her. I don't remember.

Now I feel scared. We have so many things to pray for.

Okay, I did say LDRs can be expensive, right? So, thank you so much dear God for VOIP (voice over internet protocol) and thank you for VONAGE and its wifi phone!!!! No more guarding of minutes...Cesar and I can talk for free!!! Well, not really free because there's a subscription fee. But in any case...it's a whole lot less than what we have been paying for the past 6 months. A WHOLE LOT LESS. Oh, I love vonage! Just gotta post about it! I can talk to Cesar in the office, at home, and in wifi hotspots (as long as no pass key is required). I just love it!

wedding update

Today, my sister and I went to Manila to buy materials for the wedding souvenirs. Cesar and I decided to give rosary bracelets instead of the bag charms and my sister volunteered to make them. We just have to pay for the materials and probably give Ate Pam a little something for the labor. We took the Php 15.00 jeepney ride (okay, i didn't make "sabit" this time) and we finally arrived at the market. Grabe! I was so happy and excited seeing everything in that store. It was a feast! I bought some beads too and some charms and I plan to make my own accessories! Below are some pictures of the things I bought. I found a nice silver box where I can put the rosary bracelets. Very classy, I must say.

After spending two hours in the market, we took the jeepney ride home and now, here I am excited about doing the souvenirs. This will definitely turn out to be a labor of love, for our family and friends who will celebrate our special day with us.

This is it!

P.S. Oh, I bought mangoes too! Small reward for being able to cut down our expenses on the souvenirs... =)

part II: virtual cocktail party....5 things about Cesar!

Now, here are 5 things about Cesar that I'm sharing with you...

1) he thinks siopao is cat meat

For those who don't know, siopao is a meat-filled steamed bun which is quite popular in the Philippines. As kids, we were told that siopao is cat meat. And to this day, my fiancee still believes that myth. You want him to throw up? Give him siopao!

2) sad movies make him cryDon't you just find that adorable? My sweet Cesar cries! Make him watch his all time favorite movie - Rocky - and tears will start flowing...gives me an excuse to hug him! Namit!

3) he likes adding up numbers more than making buildings

Engineer Cesar is into investments and business ventures. He enjoys reading Bloomberg. He studies the stock market. He finds that more exciting than being responsible for buildings NOT falling down. You wouldn't think he's an engineer unless you ask him! He doesn't like talking about his profession. Personally, I would say that he's just not boastful of his achievements. I'll just do the boasting because I'm so proud of him!

4) he looks macho, but really he's like a little kid

People sometimes think Cesar's all macho but really, he's such a sweet man. There's quiet strength in him that I depend on. He may look serious and domineering, but when he smiles, my gosh, he looks so angelic and so loving and so nice and so kind and so.......oops! getting carried away here! =) But of course, my Cesar can be macho too! His idol is Rocky Balboa after all.

5) he loves seafood

In a restaurant that boasts of good steaks, everyone orders the house specialty. When the waiter asked Cesar what he would be having, Cesar replied, "I'll have the fish". Hello??? Steak resto baby! This just shows how unpredictable he can be. Or maybe he thinks steak is cat meat too?

So there it is. I had a hard time writing this post because I have so many things I want to say about Cesar. I'll just save it for next time! He might scold me for revealing too much. Hehe.
