Same thing with writing, dressing up is not necessarily to impress, but more importantly to express your individuality. With fashion, you need not just to be creative but also resourceful :p

Three chapters in Five Months

2012 has been going really fast, making every month happier since June :)

Holiday in Siem Reap

*HR head emails the list of holidays*
ME: Yay, long weekend! Wait, I have no plans.

Good thing, my family is forever game for travels, and Daddy is ever supportive of spontaneous trips. So after a week, everybody's ready to fly to Siem Reap! <3

3-day House Arrest

I have been on house arrest for three days now right after my minor oral surgery last Tuesday. As a fourth timer, I thought the operation would be all pressure and no pain procedure but I was dead wrong. My surgeon was just warming up with the whole process and I was already crying continuously. Local anesthesia wasn't enough, so my dentist got enough tissue to test, and then it was wrap up stitching time. Three days after, I'm still on a French dining experience, with knife and fork as my armor in my battle with eating very little pieces.

2011: looking back and moving forward

2011 was all about travels, achievements, and of course, time with family. It happened quickly but it surely left me with so much memories, learning, and new found friends!

And now that we're about to bid goodbye to an awesome year, I decided to look back on how my 2011 went. Let me share with you the top 10 highlights of my eventful 2011 :)

coexistence of love and friendship

"What if we become so comfortable that the love we feel for each other is not the romantic feeling anymore?"

I thought about this one night, and really asked baby boo the exact same question. It took me two mugs of beer to have the courage to speak my mind because I was afraid to be proven right. That moment, I didn't know what I wanted to hear from him, or what I wanted him to do in response to my query. He just held my hand, kissed it, and made the uncertainty fade away.

As I always say, more than a couple, Daryl and I are best friends. In five years that we've been together, we have developed a friendship which I know would last a lifetime. Beyond the kilig, what's more important is the assurance that whatever happens, or however things turn out, we have each other. Our relationship is indeed something. Yes, I am in love with my best friend.

We share about our individual mistakes, and we usually boast about our achievements for the day, but we don't judge. Bolahan days are gone, so everything's plain honesty. I say he's self-centered, he says I lack the drive. But, we don't hate; we appreciate. Many times before, I called him crying, breaking down over the phone. But he does not comfort; he makes me realize things.

We watch a movie together, but don't get all cuddly anymore. We laugh, cry, and critic together. And the best part of watching a movie with him? I get free hand and foot massage! :)))

We dine out, and just eat and eat all we want. I don't mind if I eat more than he does, sometimes :p We share expenses, and I'm not shy to ask 50 pesos from him because I have no cash on hand and I need to replenish my tic-tac supply. Plus, I get to keep the change. Hehe

I can say he's baduy, and he can say I look like a farmer. But we won't change outfits.

I can keep citing instances but I guess you get my point already. I wouldn't have thought about the question above if I didn't realize how comfortable we already are with each other. It wasn't alarming, really. I just usually over think. Or maybe because we spend more time building our own careers as of now.

At our present stage, I don't demand (that much anymore) for time, nor does he. In effect, we cherish the 15-minute meet ups or the 1-hour lunch or dinner dates more than ever. Perhaps it's the maturity that we learned to acquire through time. But whatever, I'm happy with how our relationship evolved.

We were purely batch mates back in high school, but we developed a friendship as we were getting to know each other deeper.

Don't get me wrong. I love my boyfriend, but I am in love with my best friend :)

Love and friendship co-exist, and I call it the "baby boo relationship" <3

it's the time of the year

Is it mere coincidence? Or is it really meant to happen every freakin' year?!

I am secured now more than ever but I can't help not to worry, not to be bothered, and not picture scenes in my mind. But unlike before, I am not doing anything about it this time. Atleast not directly to you. I learned from last year.

I'll keep quiet, stay strong, and tighten what we have right now. I won't lose it. Never.

Walang panghihinayang. No pressures, even. Just faith, trust, and love. And these keep us together, stuck with each other.

Why am i blogging this? So that when I feel insecure, jealous, or paranoid, I will read this post and be reminded of my position and my stand in the situation.

WE ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. I AM STRONGER THAN WHAT I THINK.
