don't give up..just yet

i've been having lazy mornings ever since i moved in to this new place. i could barely get up at around 9 am in the morning. or i just lack a lot of motivation to go early to work. but when i do get at the office, i get so busy. or should i say, i try hard to be busy. i dont want to think about things that i know would just make me dawdle. if possible i dont want to be too preoccupied with my relationship problems. coz technically, i am involved with one one guy. but physically and emotionally, there's no one. how did i get myself into that? would have been a lot better if it were otherwise, right?

everytime i want to officially quit in my quasi-relationships, i get messages saying 'don't give up just yet'. are these messages for my "relationships", or is it for my work. coz i do badly want to give up on both. i want to start off new. take a month long leave. breath new air. see new people. meet up with strangers.

i can't wait to see great things ahead of me. what kind of determination should i keep? on what should i put my faith into? what should be my main focus in this life? i promised myself that this year would be for my career. but could i really focus on that and neglecting my relationships with friends and family? could i really get on board this journey all by myself? i can't think of an answer. but if i am really bound for this, then i guess i have no choice but pick up my heels and go where i should go. right?

ctrl-alt-delete

bad luck. i've been sitting in front of this computer for almost an hour and i've written more than a weekend's daily events. and just by a press of a few keyboard keys, everything just got deleted. zilch. nothing left. and i've poured my heart out, and now, i can't go back to what i had written. @#$#W$#@$#$@#$#@ is all i can say.

now, i can't even care to list my weekend's worth of horoscopes. insights that makes me think and rethink about how i try to see each day.

i could cry from bad luck.

enough.

a new place, a new life, new outlook

kf and i are, i guess, fine. we've managed to settle what needs to be settled, i hope so. well, i've had made some drama in my life and that probably was just a one of it. but i just hope it will stick that way for a far longer time.

the past few days has been tough at work. i always end up stressed at night when i get home. plus, i just moved in to this new apartment last weekend. it was tough without that much help with the packing and unpacking of all my stuffs. but i had a great deal of sorting of my things. i have identified some things that are just about time for me to throw, or to give away, and the things that are just for keeps.

i love my new place. it is smaller, yet very cozy. i guess i am going to be fine here.

my mind is not working right now. i have to think less about things that bother me. i have to learn to detach.

new year.. new blog

i've decided to create a new blog for me. this time, i just want to write down as carefree as i can. hopefully jot down the lessons life could teach and somehow, check on how much i have learned. to start, i've learned today that we could never keep anyone. and we could never hold on to anyone most specially those who are a thousand miles away, unless, they themselves would come home to you. so right now, long distance relationship is and will always be a big no-no. experience has taught me well. i just hope i wont be so stubborn the next time.

stay

"Stay."

I just asked somebody what he wants from me at this moment, all he said was this four-letter word, which short as it is.. sounds so heavy.

my training here in atlanta is about to end.. and i am going back to cebu in a few days. i keep saying to others that i can't wait to go back since i miss my family and friends. well, that's true. but a part of me also wants to stay.i know my stay here is just short, but i have learned to love this place. though i know my reason for me stay is more than just the place.

it just feels so sad to have to let go of something that you have become comfortable with and has started to love. but there is nothing i could do about it but just wish that i could come back here. this country will always hold something memorable for me. it freed my mind and gave me closure from the life that i left in cebu.. it freed my heart, and taught me how to love without fear.
i am just afraid that when i get back to cebu, things would go on as they had been. that my world will continue to rotate in an empty spin. that the lessons in life that i've learned out here be forgotten.

but i could also look at it in another way.. when i get home to cebu, i make it my everyday goal to come back here and be able to stay longer.

right now, i just want to follow where my heart is. and my heart wants to stay.

pieces of me

this is just a song that has been playing in my head for the whole week now:

Pieces if me by Ashlee Simpson

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's a mission
And you won't stop til I'm there

Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
Well, I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have

[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe

[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me..

new york and new england

i know i just had to write about my new york experience. since it would be a place that i would never ever forget.

i got the chance to visit the big apple on the labor day weekend (sept 4 - 6). i met up with classmates of mine who i havent seen for like centuries...kidding.. just decades.. still long! :) reve and jen were really kind enough to show me around manhattan and brooklyn :) we went to almost all streets in manhattan and dropped by at time square. and the most fun part was take a picture with the naked cowboy :) was he sexy or what! :p

then that saturday night, i met up with my officemate, christian and his highschool buddy, robert. with some other friends, we all partied in avalon, a club in new york. my, it was definitely raining men in there! hehehe of course i didnt get out of the club not drunk hehehe. kidding. well, my experience in that club was just so unforgettable and i'll just have to keep the details to myself and all those who bear witness to everything that happened hehehe. just one thing i learned from that night though, cute guys and tequila is a dangerous mix :)

the next day, it was just christian, robert and I who toured around the city. we had snails for lunch at a chinese restaurant in china town :) Then we went to battery park to get a closer glimpse of the statue of liberty. After that, we passed by ground zero. Then we went up the empire state building to take a view of the whole new york city. it was just amazing :) never seen a city so beautiful :)

that night, we drove to robert's place at nashua, new hampshire. it was one long drive but well worth it since i got to see a new place :) nashua is a very laid back place.. but still is beautiful. we went to a store called tjmaxx and i just went crazy with the shoes and the bags and the skirts but of course i didnt get to buy much.. i didnt have enough cash for it :( well.. at least i got me a pair of boots that i love :)

christian and i left for atlanta that monday afternoon. we know we didnt want the weekend to end just there and wished we had more time to spend at new hampshire. i think a part of me was left in that place.. and i dont want to get it back just yet..

all in all, my weekend was a blast! i got to meet new friends and got really really close with one ;)
