too bad you messed with the wrong girl tsk tsk!

so you wanna go to war huh?

bring it on! i ain't afraid and i got nothin to lose. just don't go hiding behind your new prey and be the sissy that you've always been. fight your own fights and face me. and while you're at it, try lookin for your balls..they're probably somewhere underneath the mess you've created...unless one of your girls decided to cut them off for good!

i seldom get mad, you know that...but there's such a thing as too much! and with you, too much is an understatement.

so yes, if you want war, then i'm all for it! just be sure you're damn ready!

the friends i keep

if there is one thing i'm blessed with besides a loving family, it's the number of wonderful real friends i have managed to keep...the ones i grew up with...spent high school and college with...worked with...partied with...had fights with...went shopping with...travelled with....got totally drunk and crazy with...laughed and cried with...

bottomline, these people have kept me grounded when i needed to be.... when the rest of the world seem to turn it's back on me, i have them to back me up if i need a quick reality check, they're the ones that heed the call...

they love me for who and what i am and i love every one of them just as much....

and yes, break-ups and heartaches won't be half as bad when your ally is the same as mine

my fab new do

finally after months of searching for my stylist, i found him! and boy was the timing ever so perrrrrrrfect!

i've been wanting to get a haircut for months but i didn't want anybody else so i waited...and waited and waited some more...and now that he's back, i knew why i did! he's the only one who understands what i want and his hands work magic. even my bitch sis april agrees! hehe!

so now, after months of bad hair episodes, my hair is fabulous!

breakups and the price that came with them

break-ups...bad for the heart...good for the economy! - carrie bradshaw

and indeed they are! but heck who's complaining?

if shopping for shoes and clothes, frequent trips to the spa or salon for a massage or a haircut and color, hours and hours spent at the gym, etc. could make a woman feel better and good about herself then it's all worth it.

i'd like to think that most women these days are no longer confined to the usual post break-up hitches such as moping and sulking and whining and then more moping sulking and whining. i mean, what good would that do besides waking up each morning with even darker circles under your eyes?

instead, women of today tend to channel huge blows in their lives towards self-reinvention...and if it means spending more money then so be it! we owe ourselves that much...we've worked hard...paid our dues...fell in love...became deliriously happy...laughed...cried...got hurt...cried some more but in the end, life sill goes on.

what's important is you don't get stuck in the rut. you pick yourself up and be that person you wanna be and eventually you'll wake up one day and just smile. i know i will.

that's about it for now...i'm off to do my post break-up binges...don't worry i won't spend that much ;)

goodbye may be harsh....

.....but it's the only word that is kind to me now...

with love comes hate...with joy comes pain...with laughter there's tears...

it was a good run but i had to quit before the finish line. my feet could've handled it but my heart can't. i had to stop because i know my heart, resilient as it is, won't make it.

i did try. believe me i did. i just wasn't cut out for it. but i gave it my all. i have no regrets, i owe that to myself.

i played well and i played fair.

it hurts yes, but i'll be fine. and before you know it, i'll be back on the tracks again...

and who knows? maybe i get to finish the next one.
