Leave of Absence part 2

What was the result?

I went to work. Only to find myself doing something else... I can't tell which is worse...

List

It amazes me sometimes how John and I are able to sustain a relationship despite our differences. And to make things “worse” we decided to seal our fate and got married. Like I said, it amazes me. Why? Well here are a few things from the top of my head that makes us so different from each other.

1. I love spicy food. He steers away from them as his tolerance is close to zero.
2. I used to love ketchup and condiments on my food. I can’t now since I steer away from them due to my beloved vertigo. He on the other hand wants his food as it was given to him. Simple.
3. He likes eating the fat part of chicken and pork. I don’t.
4. I love seafood. He’s not a big fan of those.
5. He likes red meat. I am not a big fan of it.
6. I love white chocolate. He loves the dark ones. For the record, I hate those.
7. He is book smart. I am not.
8. I am street smart. He is not that smart when it comes to such matters.
9. I am outgoing. He is not.
10. I am talkative. He can do without talking to anybody else. I used to annoy him during lectures in college.
11. I love junk food. He doesn’t.
12. I am a bit shy. He is more confident.
13. He squeezes the toothpaste tube from the end and he accuses me of squeezing it from the middle. Mind the word “accuses”.

The list can go on. But when I look at it, they’re pretty petty. Now I know why we are able to be in a relationship. Because even though we have so many qualities that are not alike, at the end of the day, we are on the same page on what really matters. What can I say? We believe in the same things and we are both open minded enough to talk things through.

Leave of Absence

To go to work or not to go to work. That is the question.

Here are the things to consider.

1. I had 2 minor vertigo attacks. Mga tipong umikot ang mundo ko ng 30 secods to a minute. The second attack was when I was in bed. I wasn't doing anything at all but resting. So medyo scary siya.

2. I want to prepare for my new job this coming Wednesday. Especially since double shift ako.

3. The stress of being up for a double shift might take its toll on me. So I am asking myself if I want to stock up on rest tonight and tomorrow morning.

4. This is my 2nd to the last day that I'll be with Helpdesk. If I don't go to work again (I skipped work last Wednesday) I really think Jelo would hate me na.

5. This is my 2nd to the last day with Helpdesk. I want to make the most out of it. Aminin at hinde, mami-miss ko sila.

So there. To go or not to go.

Nga pala, di na ako tutuloy sa Sagada this weekend. Due to my vertigo attacks, I opted to stay at home and rest muna. Sad.

Live from Las Vegas!

I recently just downloaded Celine Dion's Concert DVD. It was the show she did in Vegas. The one where a "concert hall/theatre" was built especially for her. I have got to say, I don't care how much the tickets might have costed but if I were able to see it live, in person, it would be worth every freaking dime. I tried looking for the ticket prices online but wasn't able to find it. I bet it costs more than a hundred dollars.

I don't think I would have to point out why it is worth watching Celine Dion. That woman is AMAZING at what she does. I have been a fan since high school. And I still am. But aside from Celine's voice there was a whole lot more that impressed me about the show. The production, by golly, the production! Everything was well thought of. From the ever changing and realistic backgrounds, her costumes, the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't stairs and stage improv, the dancers, the choreography and the song line up.

The dancers alone and their choreography was a real treat to the eyes. She had a very big stage. And it was filled with dancers. In a very well rehearsed dance steps or maybe, it is simply because they have been performing for almost everyday for a year. That's how amazing this show was. Out of 365 days in a calendar year, they performed more than 50% of the time. And the theatre was really big. And still, it was full.

What I would give to see Celine Dion perform live. Oh, what I would give.

It doesn't matter who you fall in love with as long as you just have love in your life.

John and I are so happy for you, JP!

Gujab, gujab!

Last One Standing

About my previous post, I got the job. So goodluck sakin. :)

Jelo told me something the other day that made sense. He said: ""Comfort place" is a state of mind." I posted it as my YM status the other day and Patrick replied, "lahat na lang state of mind". made me think, hindi nga ba? Hindi nga ba na lahat e state of mind?

I have been nostalgic for the past few weeks. Why? Ewan ko. Basta sa ngayon ang alam ko, madaming bagay at tao ang nagpa-alam. People always leave. Ika ni Pat. Tama siya.

Paalam, Day. I never showed it pero you and Eric were really good friends. Di ko inakalang makakahanap ako sa office ng mga gaya niyo. Since I learned na aalis ka na, isang beses lang ako umiyak. Pinipigilan ko kasi parati. Ayoko ko kasi ng ganung feeling. Ayokong malungkot at ayokong malaman mo na malungkot ako. Kasi alam ko mas bittersweet sayo ang bagay na ito.

Paalam, Eric. Ika ko nga sa taas, you and Day, the best! Salamat sa lahat. Nalungkot ako nung lumipat ka sa PA. So mas malulungkot ako na aalis ka na ng PS. Kaso, alam ko naman na kelangan mo gawin to. Naiintindihan ko, pero malungkot pa din.

Paalam, TLW. The past 3 years were great. Inaliw niyo ako. Sana pwede niyo pa ako aliwin kaso tama na nga siguro. Nababaliw na ako e.

Nade-depress lang talaga ako sa mga bagay-bagay ngayon.

Left alone at our humble abode without a husband and nothing else to do, I feel depressed.
