midnight wabash and the broken hearts club
Friday, December 30, 2005
tonight marks my first overnight stay here in the office. yes, people here do that. and not to have a slumber party but to work. this is not the first time though that i came close to spending the night here. let's just say there have been almost 10 instances, given my two-week assignment to this new project. and for the record, i still commute to batangas every single night, worn out and dead tired. i'm fortunate though because i have someone from our batch who suffers with me and who is kind enough to wait for me to catch a bus first and keep me safe, given that we've both finished our workload, which for tonight is a still a big NOT. i'm not complaining. not too much that is.
my only problem is that much as the spirit is willing, the body (which for some odd reason is still not leaning towards the slim side) is getting weak. this morning i had to come in late because i don't feel really well. also, my lovelife (also my work buddy's) is suffering a bit due to distance and less and less quality time. i wonder why someone would ever think of the phrase 'absence makes the heart grow fonder', not that i'm falling out of love that is. i think i'm just hating not being with him all the time. i don't like missing him too much because that actually hurts.
anyways, my christmas vacation was obviously bitin, i'm promising myself that next year i'll file a really long vacation leave to compensate. it's almost the new year now and i'm still at work. i'm thankful this wabash experience will be over in a week. i'll be going back to my old project for additional work which is fine by me.

happy birthday blog!
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
it's Stuck In a Moment's a.k.a. my blog's birthday! only a year ago, it wasn't originally named as such but was named Exceptionally Quintessential, to depict my extraordinarily normal life. hehe. i'm happy i got to maintain a blog this long. also, i feel lucky to have come across blogger, where i was enticed to join (thanks to lilyn by the way) and have found a haven for my thoughts and a life tracker. to everyone who has been reading this blog, i wantyou to know i'm not stopping yet! hehe.
anyways, i got rolled in (already, i know, i'm back to being: iya, ang babaeng walang pahinga) to another project, which is proving to be a bit more challenging than the first one and very different. which is good in a way, it just means i get to learn more.
i'm taking a leave this wednesday just to get some rest. can you believe that? i can't even rest up on weekends! anyways, i'm excited still for the holidays, and i'm going to get my christmas shopping done before my moolah runs out. hehe.
have fun everyone! i don't mind you greeting my blog a happy birthday!
p.s. i'm thinking of giving my blog a new look, what do you think? ;)

of living and telling everyone about it
Friday, December 9, 2005
as the purpose of this blog is to update the people i care about on the happenings in my life, then that's what i'll do.
november 29, 2005, world trade center and new world renaissance hotel, makati. one night stay, vidastat anniversary.
i love the perks of being a physician's daughter. hehe. look at my mom and me, i can't deny i look more and more like her as time goes by.
november 30, 2005. back at work. and 100 minutes with kel.
by the way, i'm addicted to kfc chicken strips nowadays.
december 1, 2005. raccoon's makeover.
meet raccoon. ang baby namin ni mykel. do you see his semi-mohawk look? his tito leo (my office/team/bonding mate) did that to him. isn't he adorable?
december 3-4, 2005. cluster 3 youth camp, talaga elementary school
as always, the youth camp was a very tiring yet fun yfc activity for me. it was great hanging with my 'big babies' again. speaking of babies...
remember our baby katriel? look she's all grown up! kidding! that's our god-daughter hannah. she's suplada most of the time. she rarely smiles at us. mana sa ninong. hehe. speaking of ninong mykel...
missing my curly mane? can you believe that kel curled it up for me? may future! he was a very meticulous hairdresser as i discovered.
and finally, this week.
aside from finishing 3 tickets for my project wherein i am officially rolled off effective today, i've been also constantly leaving for home late. that's because the Project's christmas party is fast approaching and we need to rehearse our dance numbers for the competition. as shallow as it may sound, our leads are actually battling it all out for the prize money. it's good in a way, because i kinda missed dancing and now i get to do it again only this time, with a price to pay. i rarely see the sun in the afternoon, but this is also partly because it's the short day season. i hate feeling cold. especially when there's noone to keep you warm.
so that's it. the things i'm looking forward to in the coming days, is getting my christmas shopping done, and getting nice things for everybody i love, and also, the new project i'm about to be rolled into. i've got my fingers crossed that i'll be having a nice holiday season. for the mean time,
iya here, signing off.

wishing and waiting
sometimes, things are really not what you've dreamt of it to be. and it's much more painful if you've been dreaming of having it for the longest time and when finally the dream comes true, it just wouldn't work.
lately, i've been feeling like a ghost amongst the crowds a paper boat helplessly washed down the flowing river living each day, letting the hours pass, not realizing i'm living, not feeling anything, except sadness, and longing. i miss you. so much that i can' t take it. and i cry thinking there's no end to this everynight, every second of the day that you're not here.
i want to be numb.
