Single Lady

My ladies asked me out last night for a drink and chat. I said "yes" of course, they're two of my closest girlfriends in the world. Anyway, we decided to meet at Krocodile Grill in Greenbelt. I was quite aware that these ladies were both taken so I assumed that their loved ones will be there too. When we got there, we ordered then ate our dinner. Their "boys" arrived later that night.

We were talking about our plans for this year, having a good time exchanging life experiences, our rants to our beloved companies etc. Suddenly, I realized that in this circle, I'm alone. One. Unmarried. Bachelorette. Unengaged. Single -- whatever you call it. I facetiously told'em that I wasn't supposed to be there, that it was a double date (which leads to a triple date when my friend's brother passed by with his date and have a drink for a moment). Gah!

We called it a night around 11pm. I got home safe and sound but am confused with these mixed emotions of mine. It's not that serious you know but I can't help thinking, "Why am I single?" I know for a fact that there are some guys who have serious intentions, only, I'm not ready for it. There, I've answered my query.

Geez Pitz, it ain't that bad being single. Actually, it's a whole lot better than being attached. No heartaches, no quarrels, no worries! Besides, I already got what I wanted. Munchkin is ENOUGH for me. =)

I love my life or should I say, my single life!

Evil Act

I just can't help myself writing my hot-from-the-oven experience. I admit, I got nervous the moment I handed over the script to the little person and worst when that person called my attention.

You see, I can't be an angel everyday. There are things and decisions in life that have to make, be it good or bad, in order to survive.

Evilness is part of life. I wasn't promoting the trait, all am saying is use it wisely. I know it's morally wrong to be one but who knows? It might just save your life.

Love burns brighter than sunshine

Isn't it nice waking up and starting your day with a lot like love? Nine hours or so before the New Year starts and I'm pretty excited what that would bring. Probably, another year older, Xioms will turn 3, meeting new people, falling in love, and so on. Sheesh, this blog's getting mushy!

It was 9 in the morning when Xioms went in to my room and woke me up. I promised last night that we'll have a coffee tomorrow. Yes, coffee's bad for kids and it was not literally coffee drinking! One of her god parents gave my kiddo a coffee/tea set toy present. Xioms wanted to open it at an instant but t'was already her bed time -- that's when I promised. One thing I learned is that you never make a promise that you can't keep or you'll feel bad and guilty. So we did have our coffee and enjoyed every moment.

This day seems ordinary though there's a big event to celebrate. Ordinary day at home is not ordinary at all and I don't know why I keep on saying the word ordinary. Anyway, mom's preparing for our feast later tonight and I'm looking forward to our dessert. We planned on buying Banapple or DQ's oreo ice cream cake. I know, I know... and I never hesitate to announce that I'm a DQ addict. So, what would be on our table tonight? Well, so far, am seeing some pata tim (Chinese delicacy), grilled milk fish, marinated chicken, pasta, all sorts of fruits and chocolates!

So there's nothing much to say, just a Happy New Year and enjoy the sunshine with your loved ones.

Viatores' Xmas 09

My lovely Vs and I had our Xmas dinner at Mr. Jones, Greenbelt 5 recently. It was planned since we will be having a huge surprise for our good friend Keti. As you know, Keti went through a very tragic event (Ondoy) so the rest of the group decided to give her a little something that would help her start.

Anyway, we all arrived late as usual except for Five. Hehe. Karla didn't make it as she needed to attend on to something really important. Food was all yummy and are all in huge servings! I was thrilled that they have chardonnay and yes, I ordered!

After consuming all the carbs we ordered, we did the traditional exchanging of gifts. Then we handed Keti our presents! We were all excited to see Keti's reaction. She never cried though I felt she wanted to -- lots of people around, she can never afford to humiliate herself again in public. Joke!

What's inside the bag? Well, Five and Bnx bought lots of stuff and I should commend those two - they did a great job! Kets got everything, from head to toe AND it all fits perfectly!

We bid adieu as I needed to rush to Glorietta for the Avatar movie. I promised Achi that we'll watch this on 3D. Keti's in the night shift so she needed to go as well. F was like, "It's Midnight Madness for gawd's sake!"

Conclusion: We all had a blast. We always have. I love you ladies! Till our next Xmas Party.

Vs almost complete

PS Wishing Pogi was here.

Goodbye For Now

People always leave. That's one thing I believe in. It sounds negative but it isn't. A very recent example is about my good friend Oliver.

I wasn't really that surprised when I found out about his migration to the US; actually, I felt happy for him. It's an opportunity that cannot be experienced by all. Plus, he waited many years for that, it comes to a point of seizing any hope but you know, some things just happens in time and are real.

Anyway, he invited some of his good friends to go and hang out with him for the very last time. We had dinner at his sister's house and I sure did enjoy the kaldereta. It was my favorite Filipino dish of all time! I knew it was in the menu, t'was one of his sister's specialty. We all had fun and like mountain snakes after eating.

The hardest part was saying goodbye. But looking on the bright side, we might bump on each other in the future. So I said, "Goodbye for now and see you again soon my good friend."

Fourth Year at B&M!

I didn't expect myself staying in a company for almost five years. Apparently, I did!

Last Friday, I attended our company's Christmas party in Blue Leaf at Taguig. It was my fourth time to attend such an event with the same company. Our theme is Better Together and the funny thing is I went there all by me self. I have a very hectic schedule you know... lots of "mom chores" to do before I can go, relax and do whatever I want.

Anyway, my colleagues decided to achieve a group of instrumentalists or what we call an orchestra. I wasn't so sure if I can make it to the party then so I never joined but I do have a contingency plan though. What I planned was to wear my good old DMs, skinny jeans and a loose classy black top - I sounded like a real rockstar eh? Hehe.

I got there oh so late, starving for food and some wine. Ate some pasta and some beef dish then went to find where the liquor is. Saw some group of crayolas, rockstars and vampires, pirates and toiletries, sweet white angels AND Clockwork Orange impersonators! Sheesh! My favorite droogs were there and I cannot believe that someone else in the company knows such a great film! That made me happy as I remember "my Alex". This party was great, they never run out of alcohol and good music.

I never won anything on the raffle but who cares? I'm happy and full and tipsy -- that's all that matters. Until next Christmas party and by that time, I'll be on the service awardee list!
