May -hem




Dear Diary


May's entry came a little earlier than expected but I do not see any major changes that might occur in the next 2 weeks that may be significant enough to write about. I finally activated my Blackberry data plan today and was amazed at the fact that I could finally browse the web, use chat messengers and check emails on the go. I know, this is silly - almost everyone is doing it lately. But for my case, you have to remember I am an anti-technology person. I have been carrying the Blackberry Curve for months and all the while I have only been utilizing its call and SMS functions.

There were hiccups that caused me to be rather (emotionally) stressed at work. First there was the withhold of my commission due to no (or perhaps just a little) fault of my own. If I could screw the underwriting team upside down, rest assured that it will be one huge, bloody orgy.  Ok, I don't hate them that much. But they tend to do things that drive us crazy at times.

it is a simple black dress but I have been looking for a racer back dress for years. The best thing is this comes with pockets so it can be good for work as well.

Colleagues who are starting to become my friends are leaving the circle. I am sure they will find higher grounds to reach, and perhaps be happier. It is just a little distressing but then again, such is always the case with departures. It is, more often than not, the remaining parties who feel saddened by these departures. The departing parties have it easier - since they have to integrate themselves into their new grounds, wherever that may be. Hell, I have been the departing party in many situations as well. I seldom feel sad at leaving, but did the remaining parties get affected by my leave?

Sprained my left wrist again. My netbook at work broke down. Thankfully my bro's in the IT line ;)

Black toga dress with one side zipped-strap and the other, sword-sleeved.

plum-colored spaghetti-strapped dress that looks like a 2-piece outfit
 
It is ironic how I used to hate men and distrust them.... even fear their intentions at times... but it is the males I seem to be closer to in recent years. They are easier to talk to, for a change. Unbiased, untainted viewpoints and good listening ears.... plus they being more intellectual rather than ruled emotionally...   I love my female friends for different reasons.

Forgot the actual date for mon beau's and my 4th year anniversary - rather embarrassing, me being a female and he remembers the date better than I. It was a rather bland celebration but as the years go by, celebrations tend to be less important.

It is the memories that have greater value lately. Every single song in my ipod playlist reminds me of a different experience or incident. Every single one of them has the power to bring me back to a different stage of my life and allow me to relive the experience all over again. Albeit some painful ones, included. But I no longer hold regrets - for everything that happened made me who I am today. Reminsces. Nostalgia. Facades, facades, facades...

Black, white and pale gold "tiled" dress... good for my hated "White Mondays".

On a happier note, it is a good month for three of my closest girlfriends. Congrats *Charliez, for the wedding ROM. And *Priscillia who shall have a wonderful vacation to her dream country (mine, too...). And Happy Birthday *Faith. I love the news that you'll be coming back for a short holiday in July and it is all I can do to stop the countdown.

Birthday celebrations. Mother's Day dinners. That pretty much makes up my Maydays. The rest of it shall be work, religion, work, religion, work, religion. And perhaps a little of my writings and designings.

pink and gray dress in a chiffon-lycra blend material, something I fell in love with at first sight although my prime color is black.
 

There are times I wonder - wistfully- if I could settle down for a more comfortable lifestyle; something simple and one I would not think about work after office hours. Skip the corporate world shyt - just sit behind the counters serving customers or doing data entry. Earn enough to go travelling twice yearly, eat at middle class restaurants, spend lots of time with my friends and even have time for the Telly and a pet. Like, an adorable black-and-white kitten. Why not?

Its a question I have been pondering for years. Today it hit me again. I finally had the time to mall crawl in the afternoon. Brought about a sense of familarity - the only difference between then and now is ... I feel so lost now, as though I do not know how to mall crawl in the afternoon when everyone else is hard at work.

This entry is tres long! Gracias for your attention, and stay basked my light, love and kisses...

My gift from Mon Beau for our 4th-year anniversary. Love this pair of earrings (even secretly more than the Tiffany's ones ;)
