| Pardon my absence, I've been caught up with so many things that I almost forgot I've got a life to document. Past month wasn't very easy, work has been very consuming and I feel like I'm emotionally constipated (go figure!) From Cebu to Hong Kong to Manila to Cebu to Donsol and back to Cebu again, I feel tired, helpless and in some way uprooted from my life. The urge to escape and be alone is nagging me again, where to go, I don't know. Just have to escape from EVERYTHING. The coming weekend gives me the creeps too, I'm not really comfortable with family talks that involve major decisions, fairy godmother please save me. I sometimes wonder if I've become all too emotional or have I just forgotten everything that books say are important? I never considered myself to be a drama queen, you won't hear me cussing about small issues, and I'm not the crybaby type. Is this a case of PMS gone mad? don't know too. Maybe what I need is a good cry, to cry all my sorrows away...

| I can't exactly pinpoint why but Cebu never fails to enthrall me. I've been here more than a year ago with Anj but even though with business tasks to do I still felt the laid back cosmo feeling that Cebu offers its guests. Just like my last trip here, this one is an adventure. I had to meet with suppliers, contractors, hotels since a lot of stuff is lined up for me in the few weeks to come, had to do oculars, site visits and coordinations with concerned individuals. I'm tired and the bed is so inviting (I'm billeted in Marriott Hotel, a far cry from Hilton, but when you're tired, a bed is a bed!) 1 more meeting to go (yes, one more at 6:27PM sucks) and Im free (guilt free!) to visit ayala!!! Am also hoping to visit Jun Escario for wedding stuff, buy danggit and dried squid in the fish market!

| I got myself caught in a tangle of several issues that made my weekend swirl by. From the usual domestic dramas ha! for the first time, it's not me in the spotlight of semi-menopausal parental vs. the spoiled last child to Termination blues of a house maid who acts like a superstar with a life similar to Demi Moore (minus the glamor ofcourse, and a hot Mr. Kutcher, well she has a third world reject), go firgure! Hopefully, with alert level up in their noses, they'd all shape up. Hate hate hate it!
On the happier side of things, it's my 6th month in CEMEX today, and I deserve a tap in the back. Sure there where bad days but there are also goo (pay) days... hehehe. I'm taking things easy today, and hopefully just for today. And to add icing to my cake, our mid-year bonus will be released this Wednesday! so so happy! This will  speed up my quest for a new designer bag! that's obsession number 1.
Obsessions number 2 would be, a new pair of wide legged jeans, better get them before the general public jumps into the bandwagon. Ino of Viktor was kind enough to study that style for me, can't wait to fit my new jeans! Here's a pic of what am obsessing about :)

| Between work and life, I'm finding pleasure in Soduku, People find it nerdy but who cares. My dad has always amazed me with his skill in completing really hard crossword puzzles (yep, even the ones in the sunday newspaper!), it would be really good to be good in something that stretches my brain.
When I started learning how to complete soduku puzzles, I was amazed on how I can find answers in a logical manner, something like putting order in chaos. I started with making assumptions just to fill up the boxes but I found out later on that assumptions are unnecessary when you're in the right path, of course you should take precautions and it won't hurt to think twice. It sounds lame, but my present obsession has got me thinking about what's happening now in my life and on how everything seems to be going on smoothly as planned, little by little I'm learning to answer my "empty boxes" which leads me on further to surprising experiences and happy memories.
Another Asian invention that holds me now is Feng Shui. Venj and I went to Feng Shui master Charlie Chao last Saturday (it was such a blessing that he was able to squeeze us in his schedule!) We asked him to do fortune analysis on us and asked for auspicious wedding dates for 2008 or 2009. Hold your horses friends, don't get too excited. ciz it's late 2008 or early 2009. By the way things look, I think I'd settle for the 2009 date.
Here are his recommendations:
- November 22, 2008 (Saturday) anytime except 3 to 5PM
- December 28, 2008 (Sunday) anytime except 3 to 5PM
- January 25, 2009 (Sunday) anytime in between 5 to 8 PM
My lucky colors are the ones with the reddish hue (meaning, pink, salmon and the like) while venj's are the colors with cool tones (blue and white) and together we should stick with nature inspired colors. Everything's still to be planned. but not to worry small steps, will make a big big difference!
BTW, In between hyperthyroidism and insomia I NOW DRIVE!!!! haha!

| After a 6 day vacation, it's finally back to work... sucks but this girl has no choice, or at least I have to bear with the work life thing for a while, with a record of zero sleep last night I'm entitled to rant my day away. My vacation was spent watching DVDs, couching around, road tripping, shopping and more shopping. I didn't go out of town like most "cool" people (or at least they think they are) do on Holy Week coz I'm saving up for a bag, sounds lame, but a girl can't have enough of bags. One signature bag will never be enough! never mind if there are knock offs in greenhills. I'd be uber happy having a shiny brand new one from gb4. Since I already have the LV Epi Leather in Black (Alma, Pochette, Mabillon, Keepall45) I'm torn between the Epi in blue Speedy and the Monogram Speedy. Decisions, decisions...
It's almost mid way through April (which translates to more than 1/4 of the year has passed) and I haven't accomplished anything. sucks sucks sucks... I'm happy true but I feel useless!!spending days in the office doing nothing or doing something that's not really marketing. I'm torn between complaining, quitting or playing plainly keeping it on status quo. Though, I've never enjoyed working (in all 3 companies where I stayed) I'm not really sure if the problem lies with me, the companies or neither, or maybe I'm not just fit for the boss me around world, where most if not all things are drab and so routine-y! Thank god, compensation is good! if not I'd be out here in no time. But I'm holding on to venj's promise of liberating me from the work world, I need more color in my life besides I'm tired of people with their weird visayan accents and girls who badly need a makeover.
