Shameless Ad :)

What's your Mantra?

InkEd

I almost forgot. Oppsy.

Another must-do for 2012 is to get Inked.

I plan to get a tattoo before the year end. Preferably after my eat-pray-love journey.

For now, I am still on a look out for a Quote that resonates with me and my life.

PS: Mom will surely kill me since tattoo is a No-No.

Mid-Year Checkpoint!

It's June.

We're halfway done with 2012.

How's everyone?

There's a lot on my plate. I feel like a hamster running and running and running on a freakin wheel. I'm juggling tons of work and I'm managing a great deal of pressure. It can really be overwhelming. There's so much work to do and so much new things to learn (and the timeline is usually insane). It is heavy.

I want to to look back and be able to tell myself that I have grown tremendously this year. That I learned new things, took leaps and have accomplished tasks on my checklist.  

And so this post serves as a  midyear checkpoint for me (and you) to remind us of our objectives. I need to balance my time and energy.

Top of mind, my checklist would be:

• Start my own blog in my new domain. (Coming Soon!!).
• Travel more. (Started already...).
• Learn 3 Asian dishes. (Missed out on this one..).
• Reach my target weight (Ugh, fluctuating weight gain/loss).
• Teach part time (Yep, 1 term to be a professor).
• Spend more time with family (Check!).
• Have a better relationship with God. (Guilty!)
•  Love myself a little bit more. (Issues oh Issues).
• Manage financial stuff (I'm blessed).
• Plan out my next leap before December ends :)

What's yours?  How's everyone doing? What have you missed out?

Brave

Sing with me..

Eat Pray Love 2012

Teaser: I'm doing an EatPrayLove this year.

My own docudrama will be

Eat: Singapore (DONE!)

Pray: Bali

Love: Germany

I had an amazing time in Singapore...and my tummy ate as much.

I had to ask my bestfriend to remind me that this is part of my EAT journey as not to feel guilty every time I Chomp Chomp Chomp on chili crabs and hawker food :) Yum.

All the details will be shared in my new blog :)

I'll keep everyone posted!

Happy Valentines!

I took a sick leave yesterday, I was on heavy dose of painkillers and Valium.

My day was composed of 1/2 in pain-1/2 sleeping

I pushed myself to go to the office today so that I won't miss out on much work. 

Workload tends to pile up pretty fast and that's something I don't want to happen.

While I was on my way to the office,  it was actually cute to see so much roses and balloons around. It was cute to see couples giggling. It was cute to see men buying bouquet of flowers.It's cute. I remember that happy giddy feeling.

I had a funny valentines day despite my health and heart condition. I went retail shopping, had dinner with lye and also watched a movie. It was refreshing.

Sharing with you what was on my office desk... Yes, I munched on that cupcake and 3 kisses (Thank you!)

Happy Valentines Day Everyone :)

A Painful Sunday

I hate hospitals. 

I hate the smell of it.

I hate being around people in pain-its a torture place for me.

The past few days, I have been nursing this back pain that just won't go away.

I've been in so much discomfort-stabbing pain on my back.

I took the usual pain relievers-but the relief was short-lived.

So I had no choice but to go to the hospital and have myself cleared.

It was a painful Sunday literally and figuratively.

G told me that he'll be with me.

Ofcourse, he's good in making promises.  And his promises are often wordy.

As usual, words are words-it ended there. Painful as it is. That's him.

My Persian friend was so nice to even ask me if he can go with me in the hospital. I said yes.

But when Sunday came, and the pain was just too much.. I decided to just go on my own.

I went to Makati Medical Center, I was born here. Nice memories.

  

I went to the ER. It was a breeze. The nurse saw my discomfort and immediately made me lie down on a bed. The feeling of 'rushing yourself' to the ER is weird. Mixed feelings.

Painful because G gave me his word and he fucked up again. Painful because well..my back was really painful.

And so I was wheeled around for some test, I also had a back x-ray done, and since it was a Sunday-no consultants to read it. The resident doctor gave me Valiums (injection) and pain reliever (injection)..which made me drowsy. 

I kept on telling the nurse to use a butterfly needle but she said they don't use it there. I said in Asian Hospital-they usually use butterfly on me, and the nurse repeatedly said that they really don't use it there. The result was 5 fuckin attempts to shoot the needle on my vein.. and the last one was a flop because it caused a 'bubble' because the vein collapsed. Grrrr..

 

I think the nurse was nervous so she called on to the doctor to do it instead. Thank you doctor. The injected medicines were painful and thick.. thus, I seriously cried while holding on my sheet. (Yes, it was a baby thing to do, but my pain tolerance just went down. It fuckin hurt.) The doctor was nice and patient-even rubbed my arm for comfort. Then I fell asleep.

Clear results will be out this week.

Initial diagnosis shows that I don't have broken or injured bones.

Something with my back muscles..which I have to meet a consultant to clear that out.

I'm still drinking my medicine.

I'm following the prescription.

I'm still drowsy.

So whats the lesson here...

I can depend on myself.

I don't need G.

I will be okay.

Random Weekend Thoughts

• Valentines is fast approaching. As much as I want to say that I don't celebrate that Hallmark-Invented-Day, I'm such a sucker for sweetness. I want that Valentine mode for myself. What to do? Where to go on a solo-mode?

• I'm seriously thinking of having my own domain-I'm starting to get annoyed with blogspot. I am still at the point of planning the layout, the name and the feel of the new site...but I'm getting there. The question is, will all of you still follow me? I seriously hope so.

• I just went back to Belo for a glycopeel facial and I bought my usual facial kit. Their products seriously work for me. For those who want to change their dermatologist or would like to start having a doctor for their skin (for vanity or for health reasons)...just leave me a message and I'll endorse you to my doctor. She's really good and her prescription worked wonders for me. We all deserve to feel and look fab.

• Sunday 6:00PM-12:00Midnight is my study mode zone. I realized that there's so much to learn with my work and since I am aiming to be a superstar there (hihi), I really need to push myself more. As recommended by my boss, I should allot time to study and take initiative to learn more. Thus, NERD mode every Sunday works for me.

Lessons Learned By A Hopeless Romantic..v1

I have always been the romantic one.

I never play around with emotions and its very seldom for me to fall inlove with someone.

But when I do..  I'm the hopeless romantic kinda girl..

Most of the times, I end up getting hurt.

So here are few lessons coming from my broken heart and I pray that I will find strength to learn from my mistakes and come out as a wiser and stronger woman.

• Honesty has to be the basis of everything.
• Guard your heart and be careful with where you place your trust or how you are drawn into a persons life.
• Words are just words.
• Action reveals what a person truly believes and exposes their character.
• It's easy to say the 5 letter word "Sorry".
• It's also easy to say the 3 words "I love you".
• Trust God and believe that He has an amazing plan for you. Learn to let go.
• In happiness or in despair, never compromise your values.
• Keep some pride and love for yourself.
• Plant your own garden rather than waiting for someone to give you flowers..do things to nourish your soul.

Mr. Big

You ever had your version of Mr. Big?

I think I do.

Carrie: You do this every time! *Every* time! What? Do you have some sort of radar? Carrie might be happy - it's time to sweep in and shit all over it?
Big: What? No, no, I came here to tell you something. I made a mistake. You and I...
Carrie: You and I - *nothing*! You can not do this to me again! You can not jerk me around!
Big: Carrie, listen to me. It is different this time...
Carrie: Oh, it's never different! It's six years of *never* being different! This is it! I am done! Don't call me ever again! Forget you know my number! In fact, forget you know my name! And you can drive up this street all you want - because I don't live here any more! 

Never Meant To Be

I used to connect events.

I always thought that there is no such thing as "coincidence" in this life.

That everything was bound to happen..and that things are meant to be.

Serendipity.

That's what I thought.

But I know better now.

It was never meant to be.

It was a mistake.

A lesson that I should have learned  from a different scenario.

I'm accepting it already. We were never meant to be.
