Onward and Upward

ie. Unnecessary drama brought about by unnecessary feelings, issues and tripping, which causes unnecessary uncomfortabilities (if there's such word), issues, invisible gap and worst of all, stress! the power of ignoring is one of the best way to combat a rant. but having someone, (as for me my husband who's the bestest person in the world) to calm one's nerves keep you sane, keeps me sane for that instance. rants can drive you crazy, but the act of ranting makes it all better. another milder form was when i bought the gap jeans, to my disappointment, it didn't keep its first-sight fit. so i had to let it go. (too bad, that was my "my-husband's-so-far-away" gift. oh well. got another pair though. another reason to rant, when one of your favorite dish in the whole world gets voted off the menu!

ie. upcoming make-up lesson from MAC's senior make-up artist. another lipstick. just when i thought i found "my"color, there was another one. the swr! that was great, new people, reflection, prayer and everything. quality time with good friends. (will discuss later). new fabulous bag. new underclothes (more subtle way of saying it, haha!). maybe new shoes next week. oh my gosh, this is me, an emotional spender. i'm not shopaholic, or as one of my dear friends refer to me as 'shoppingera'. just an emotional spender. that's a confession i make. it's not a bad thing though. not all confessions are bad.

i think i've ranted enough although you'll never really know what it is about. the past two weeks have been nice. SWR: the weekend retreat was great. i enjoyed the new people i met. the skits were great too, a lot of people loved it. but the most moving part would be my sharing. i unintentionally went last among the whole group. (which is soo not me) and i cried (just when i thought i was going to break the cycle) when i started talking about joseph, like how he wanted to be there, and how much it is being away from each other.tears just started flowing. a lot of people commented afterwards that it must have been really hard, they said they felt it with how i talked about it. (sigh) but oh well... i was talking with jon and jr until 3 in the morning of saturday that weekend. that was crazy. we were talking in the hall of the dorm (more like bootcamp dorm) and i guess everyone else was sleeping. crazy! i loved the laughtrips! we were talking for hours and not sitting at all. cheers to my pares! anyway, going home, i had dinner with jon, jr, bel and anne at crazy sushi. oohhh, i loved it. and my waitress-friend was still there, i thought she went back to china already and when she saw me, she said she missed me. (sweet girl), i missed her too and their great sushi particularly the unagi. that was sunday night. the following week was alright. work and then the habitual visit to the malls. i had dinner with anne at biscotti's tuesday night, while james and bel were at the resto across. then wednesday, i was at the avenue's mall, then bumped into bel and anne. we ended up talking, while i was having dinner, then to starbucks then to their house. lonnnggg story but always great. thursday, hmm what did i do thursday? i don't remember. friday night - well, morning of that i went to the carmelites. did stations of the cross with the parentals. and there was this sweet orange cat following us through-out the whole thing. they kept saying the very same thing happened with joseph last year but it was a black cat, mine was a yellow-orange (will post picture soon). then lunch at wasabi. sushi again! =) talk about indulgence. good stuff. then that night, i went to adoration with fellow sfc. afterwhich, i ended up watching pink panther with anne and bel . we were talking and it seemed a little too early for us three to call it a night, so movie it is! saturday was janine's first bday. i had to make a quick stop for her gift then to the party. spent most of the time chatting with ate michelle. then teaching afterwards, good job to my sis, stef! =) and great discussion too! i went to chili's afterwards just to find out that the taquitos was voted out. ouch!! so i settled with shanghai chicken, which of course i didnt finish. sunday, mass then lunch at sushi world with kate (oh my gosh, im made of sushi the whole time i didnt blog) then home. then dinner and talk with gail at biscotti's (again!) talk about repetitions weeklong. that freakin' riverside threw me off when it was closed but oh well, got through. (hats off!)

and so this week, im hoping that there'll be less rants. things to look forward to:

maybe new jeans, new shoes (they're ordering my size), session at MAC, my parents visiting and ultimately, my visit to MS!!! =) felt like it's been so long.

of course, the whole time imagine me on the phone with hubby. poor thing, he had this thing on his leg, he got it taken out but it still hurts, feel better bebe! so when i get there you'll be in top form. miss you. i love you, feel better and goodluck on your test, i'll pray for you.

well, this is long already. im alright. still very happily married. ciao!
