I’m Still Alive =)
October 21, 2010After some life-altering events—like i don’t know, hubby leaving for work abroad [oh, time, please speed up]—i’m posting now. Why? Because I’m really sleepy and fighting the urge to sleep off this nasty allergy that won’t seem to go away thanks to my dog and his chocolate fur. I hope this post wakes me up.
I have a new toy. Sweet!
Milo has gotten a lot bigger.
But he still sleeps like this.. funny.
I joined a 3k fun run and made it to the finish line! Yay for the lazy, non-athletic me. 
Proof that I’m lazy? I hire people to trim the grass on a few square meters of our lot, a task I could have easily done since I have a lot of free time now. Hurray for the well-trimmed grass.
Oh, I went swimming. Only my second time this year. 
That’s all for now, folks! Loving this easy-breezy updates. Got to go back to work.
Milestone
July 10, 2010
Hubby surprised me with flowers yesterday. It’s our wedding anniversary today. Our first, and we’re spending it apart. We’re supposed to be in a vacation today, but we cancelled it last minute when we already knew that he’d be out of the country by this time.
It’s hard because this is the only occasion I didn’t prepare for—because I have cried buckets for all the special events he’d miss months ago. We believed then that he will be here today.
Oh well, that’s that. I’m here, he’s there. I’ll just keep myself busy with work today and talk to him tonight.
Love travels distance.
Hey you, the one I got hitched with exactly a year ago, I know you’re going to read this. You still and will always, infinitely rock my world!
Day 1
June 30, 2010I didn’t blog for a quite a long time because I was preoccupied with my husband’s then trip abroad. He left yesterday, after a week’s delay, and arrived in Bahrain early this morning (Manila time). I only slept after he texted that he’s already there.
I was actually contemplating on continuing this blog, mainly because I’m too sad to continue. But whatever I’m feeling right now is of no revelance. It fails in comparison to my husband’s sacrifice. To be away from family is the hardest, and I can’t help but admire him more for his efforts for our family. I thought I won’t be able to get up today, but I did! And so I’m writing again—will take pictures again—so that he can see how I am coping. I’m writing for him now, so that he will see how I’m living my life with him so far away. So that he can see that yes, I will be okay.
By far, yesterday was the longest and hardest day of my life. It was also the shortest for us to be together. Yesterday, I drew strength from his mom, my mom, and his brother. I didn’t cry in the airport. Not a single tear. If you know me, you know that’s so hard for me to do. I promised him that. The hardest part of it all was going home alone. I thought my heart would explode when I unlocked the door. That’s when I broke down. And as sudden as the tears fell, I stopped. So begins my days alone.
Internet, I’d like you to meet Milo, my 4-month-old choco lab.
Milo, 3 months
Milo, 3 months
Milo, 4 months
He keeps me alive and makes me want to get up in the morning even if I want to sleep in. He gives me a reason to go home. He’s the sweetest, and he will keep me company because right now, during these difficult times, unconditional love is what I need and that’s what my dog is giving me.
Quick Updates
May 23, 2010I’m still here. Just had too much to do over the past month that blogging came last of my to-do list.
So, it’s still super hot outside. Everybody’s still praying for a relief from the heat. A little drizzle perhaps, but not Ondoy levels please…
Bonus was given last April. That made me forget about resignation for about 2 seconds… he he.
I’m in love with Hiccup and Toothless. Money well spent on two 3D screenings. Disappointed with Shrek though. May be I just expected too much. At least Puss is still funny. Next up, Toy Story 3!!! That Ken doll is too metro. I like. =)
Oh, I celebrated my birthday with family. Went swimming of course. I’m just year older, but I feel way too old. Must be my frustrations in the office that is dragging my energy down. I gifted myself with a vanity table. White of course. Love, love, love. Will take photos once I rearranged the room.
And who can forget the automated elections. With so much glitches, I never really believed it can be done. But it was done. To all Pinoys who voted—who were vigilant, patient, and hopeful for change—they are the heroes in this democratic exercise. Bravo!
I exchanged my laptop with my mom’s. Her’s has better specs actually, hehe. But she doesn’t know that. Im still setting it up, so photos to follow…
