Just a day, just an ordinary day

So today is Valentine's day. I was actually dreading this day because well, I don't have anyone to spend it with and that's really something new to me because I've always had a Valentine. But I'm glad to report that it wasn't as sucky as I thought it would be. It was actually way better than I expected. To begin with, my boss and I had a talk and he told me that I'm getting a bigger promotion than what I was expecting. I wanted to jump up and down and hug him but instead I sat still on my seat, smiled and thanked him the way a professional should. But the moment I stepped out of his office, I went straight to the restroom and called my dad and I almost cried. Almost. And yes, it's always my dad I call first no matter what. All my hard, hard work is paying off! At the age of 21, I can say that I am very much satisfied with my career thankyouverymuch :)

Anyway, the day went on and my celly inbox was full of "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings. Almost as much texts that I got during Christmas. I mean, really? I don't know why it puzzles me. I worked over time for an hour and it's funny because by 5:01, the office was almost deserted! Good on them office mates for having dates on V-Day! Haha! When I finally left the office, I went to meet up with Jen so we can have dinner together. My best friend never fails to keep me company especially during torturous days (exag!) like today! Although I wish I had the money so I can buy her airfare so she can spend her V-Day with Jolo at New Zealand. After our short date, I went home to the condo hoping to get a few drinks before I retire for the night for my early flight tomorrow but instead, my parents dragged me to come to their date. I didn't really want to come since it's their date but my mom was practically begging me to come with them (the truth is, she just didn't want me to be alone that night thinking I'd be "depressed") But it's good that I did come with them. It was a really, really fun date! We were laughing and eating and laughing some more the whole time.

Today would have been a very appropriate day to post a love song here like the way I thought this blog of mine would serve. But for some reason, no music's coming in to me right at this moment. As in none. I mean nothing that'd pass for the season. Argh. There's just no love song for me today. And I know I should stop forcing myself to come up with something, because like love, we do not force things like that, they just come. Oh. That was baduy. Hahaha!

To those many people who sent Heart's Day messages and sweets (totoo, may nagbigay! haha!), from the bottom of my heart, Grazie, Grazie...

Catching up

This weekend I got to hang out with people that I have not seen in a long, long time...

Saturday morning, I woke up early because my high school buddies Jonathan and Joman came to see me. We had breakfast together and talked the whole morning. Jon just came back from Chicago so he had a lot of stories to tell (more than the usual!). It was fun catching up with them and reminiscing about our high school life. Most of the best memories I have of high school involved these 2 as I was (and will always be) one of the boys! After they left, my mom went in my room to check on me and Ching and I felt that it was probably the right time to finally tell her "the news". And so I did. She was shocked to say the least. She had a lot of questions and she gave a lot of advice. But what made me sad was that she was really, really sad. I guess having Kevin around for almost 2 years, he was practically family, like a second son, and now that we're not together anymore, well he in a way broke up with my family too.

Anyway, after my long nap that afternoon I watched 127 Hours with Jen. After that we had a pre-Valentine's Day dinner with my family. We wanted to go out but since all our friends were busy, we decided to just call it a day. Back at home, while I was watching an old VCD I got a text from Carla asking me to go out. So I thought "why the hell not?" So I got dressed and we went out for a couple of drinks. I met Carla a few years back and for a while we were really, really close. Until things turned for the worst and well, we were kids then. Last Christmas, during our barkada's party at Redd's, they invited Carla and that's where we all finally kissed and made up! And I'm glad we did because last night reminded me why I love her in the first place :)

On another note, what's more awkward than seeing your ex the day before Valentine's Day for dinner and a scary movie? Can anyone please tell me because yes, I did went out to see Kevin a while ago. We had dinner then we watched a movie. And as much as I enjoy seeing him I just feel that it's wrong. Is it? Argh. I don't know anymore.

Nothing - The Script

The Script is and I guess will always be one of my musical heroes. They write songs and bam! It feels like it's the soundtrack of my life. Then when their latest album came out, I heard this song and I literally froze, turned the volume to a deafening level and felt so many feelings all at once. I'm so dramatic, no? Haha!

The line that says it all: I wanted words but all I heard was nothing...

Little Bit - Lykke Li

This song... This song is HNNNGGGGG!

~~

Hands down
I'm too proud, for love
But with eyes shut
It's you I'm thinking of
But how we move from A to B it can't be up to me
Cause I don't know
Eye to eye
Thigh to Thigh
I let go

I think I'm a little bit
Little bit

A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit
Little bit
Little bit
In lalalala love with me
Oh ah

And for you I keep my legs apart
And forget about my tainted heart
And I will never ever be the first to say it
But still I, yes you know, I..I..I..
I would do it
Push the button
Pull the trigger
Climb a mountain
Jump off a cliff
Cause you know baby I love you love you
A little bit

If you would do it
If you would say it
If you would mean it
That we could do it
If it was you and I, not only I
Ha hm

I think I'm a little bit
Little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit
Little bit
Little bit
In lalalala love with me

I think I'm a little bit
Little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit
Little bit
Little bit
In lalalala love with me
Ah oh

Come here, stay with me
Struck me by the hair
Cause I would give anything
Anything
To have you as my man

Come here, stay with me
Struck me by the hair
Cause I would give anything
Anything
To have you as my man

Little bit
Little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit
Little bit
Little bit
In lalalala love with me

Little bit
Little bit
Little bit...

Bataan

I went to Bataan last Sunday with Chieng and her office mates. This is the first time in almost 2 years that I went to Bataan without Kevin. To be there with people I barely know I though I was gonna feel out of place and awkward but I didn't. These people are koo! Haha! I talked to the guys while we were drinking and it's funny that we were able to talk about a lot of things that people who just met normally don't talk about. But hey, I've always been like this; one of the boys. It was a weekend full of laughter and I'm glad I joined them.

Oh and yeah, I have updates on my NY resolutions. Not everyone's gonna agree on that but it's MY resolutions so who cares, right? Haha!

My first out of town trip for the year was definitely a success! :)
