the other side of the bed

i'm one of those people who find comfort in sleeping alone. at least most of the time. and why won't i? all the pillows are mine. no one snores. and there's more room to move.

but then there are nights when i long to have someone on that side of the bed.

a friend once told me, you shouldn't take both sides of the bed, otherwise no one will share it with you.

well i haven't been using that side of the bed for a FRIGGIN LONG TIME.  too long that i found a dent on my side! so now i wanna sleep on that other side because the cushion is much softer and nicer!

which made me think. if that side was meant for whoever he is, and now that i wanna take his side...will he take my old side of the bed or insist on taking what was originally his? hahaha!

i'm not making sense. so what. i'm alone in my room. on a beautiful sunday afternoon. with nothing else to do but blab! so there, that's my bitching for this week.

song in my head. thoughts in my mind.

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you, what you think you give me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables



Turning Tables lyrics

distance

that's what we have.

it would be better if its about miles.

but it isn't.

that's what makes it sad. really sad.  

because it's too cold to go out...

we brought the bar in my room...cheers!

daddy's little girl (repost)

Five years ago, i wrote this for my dad on his birthday. 

I'm reposting this now because nothing has changed.  He remains to be the best father, my first love.

Happy Father's Day Papa.

May God continue to bless us with your gift of life, laughter and love in the years to come.

=======

i never thought that writing about my dad would be this difficult! i have so much to say and yet i couldn't find the right words.

i always get emotional whenever i talk about him and today is no exception. i am after all his little girl. being the eldest of 3, when i was young, papa would always tell me that i was his first love. and indeed i was. he just didn't know he was mine as well.

papa tells the funniest jokes. his stories and pranks bring sunshine on every one in the room with him and just makes everybody's day.

papa has the most caring hands. when one of us is sick, he is the first person to get up and look after us. he would stay by our bedside and wouldn't sleep until he knows we're feeling better.

papa has the gentlest voice. his words never failed to soothe and give us comfort especially when we were at our lowest. his sensitivity is a gift as he always knows when to say the right words

papa has the most beautiful soul i've ever come across. he doesn't see the bad but sees the good in people and things. he has the biggest heart, his love is unconditional. he gives without expecting any in return.

papa has the simplest of joys and each time something nice comes along he is always grateful.

i wish i could be even half the person he is.

all that i am now, i owe to him. he is a blessing. he is an angel. he's my inspiration. he is my friend and he is the best father in the world.

i may not always say it but i know he knows that i love him.

happy father's papa!

South Africa...two weeks down

this june

i will miss...

...father's day

...my sister's birthday

...the opening my ninang's resort

but...i will look forward to

...working with my colleagues here in joburg

...going to krueger which, they say is the best zoo in south africa

...making new friends

...spending time with the rest of the gang as they will come in next week

i'm loving my stay here. so much that i have not been homesick since i arrived.

oh, and i bought a new pair of boots! 

and so my waka waka journey begins

for the next three months Johannesburg, South Africa will be my home.

the hotel is wonderful and the service is GREAT! pro-active staff left and right.

the food, compared to KL, is awesome. no need for inday to do the cooking!

the weather is perfect. it's the beginning of winter and temperature ranges from 3-12degrees. time to bring out my winter wardrobe! woopie!

the people are nice. all of them. from the driver who picked me up to the hotel staff to my colleagues at work. they are all very warm and friendly and welcoming.

Johannesburg is a photographer's dream. the office and hotel are both located in the suburbs so the streets aren't bustling with commuters and traffic.

it's melbourne all over again. the streets, the pace, the buildings, the weather. i love it!
if my first two days here is a promise of the nex 87 days, i'm sure to have a blast.

again, i love my job!!!!

happy mother's day!

no, this is not my mom, nor is it a satire for my mom. i sent her flowers and she cried :)

took this picture late this afternoon...how very apt...first coz it's mother's day and second, it's sort of a practice for my trip to south africa hehe!

wacka wacka it's time for Africa

i was supposed to stay here in KL until the end of May but due to an urgent requirement for another project, i'll be flying back to Manila on Monday to process my visa for South Africa.

yes, wacka wacka it is.

to make things more interesting, himhim will be assigned there as well. and so for the next three months, we shall be together. every single day.

wish me luck.

homeward bound

I'm all set to go back to manila tomorrow. yey! can't wait to see my family especially my nephew.

Must make the most out of the next six days coz imma comin back this sunday for yet another project.

Sayonara KL, hello manila!

patience

Everybody who knows me knows that patience isn't really one of my virtues.

Oh but patient today, i was! Our client flew in from Dubai to oversee the project's cutover this weekend. Normally, and in almost all the projects i've implemented, clients just tell me what they want and my job is just to produce the output that they want.

BUT NO! not with this one.

He insisted on watching everything i do. Now i wouldn't mind if he was just there to observe. But he didn't. He wantrd to do things his way. He's the client so i let him have his way. I did what he said. And failed. All of it. So i told him, now can we do it my way? He said sure, wherever you're more comfortable. So i did, and it worked just fine.

When i was done, he smiled and asked me out for smokes :)

Amen.

because i deserve one

Samsung Galaxy Tab

now i can play angry birds in a bigger screen hahaha!

i miss being in love

i do.

i miss the cheesiness.

i miss being held.

i miss the conversations.

i miss gasping for air just coz he's in the room.

i miss being somebody else's someone.

more than that, i miss being in love.

my friends keep telling me, after all the wrong, the right guy will eventually come. i have so much love to give. more than enough to go around family and friends. i have plenty.

i told my friend today, somewhere, someone is looking for me. it's just a matter of time.

sometimes though, i can't help but think what if he doesn't come? what if no one is really there? now that's really sad. and depressing. but there's that chance. what if?

:(

guess who went to the Malaysia Grand Prix :)

without her slr!!! ggrrrrrr! sorry na! malay ko bang manonood ako ng F1 dito sa KL. good thing i had my trusted phone so i was able to take some pics.

it was awesome! the noise, the crowd, the weather, the boys!

oh-la la!

i was browsing thru the cable channels and i chanced upon an old episode of American Chopper. i used to watch this a lot not because i love bikes. i watched mainly because i find  Vincent DiMartino hot. sexy hot. really hot. have i said it enough? he. is. hot.

especially if he's covered with grease.

sigh...

first weekend back in KL

was spent in my room. working.

i've been here a week and i have not stepped inside a shopping mall. unbelievable! hahahha! 

good news is i haven't gone shopping.

let's see how long i can last :D

april fools in KL

i've had quite a day. and not because of the project here in KL!

one of the servers in Manila has been giving me quite a headache since yesterday. I CAN'T FIGURE WHAT'S CAUSING THE ERROR! wtf!

to make the long story short...my first weekend back in KL is a working weekend. boooo!!!

1 week down, 3 more weeks to go.
