Some things I like/love/discovered over the weekend:
*AHAVIA Lounge Spa's Oriental Massage ~ at P 299 for 60 minutes of pure bliss who could beat that??!!
*Taking a wrong turn at the road and finding what you where looking for by accident. ~ The attorney/bf missed a turn when we were looking for Ahavia in Wilson St. but when we made another turn, there it was. Talk about serendipity.
*Long rides going to my home with the attorney/bf. ~ He still doesn't own a car but whenever he has the chance to borrow her sister's, he will insist on bringing me home even if my place is at the far end of the woods from Mandaluyong. I like the talks we have at that moment.
*Trying out a new recipe and actually getting it near perfect the first time. ~ I cooked again and tried making Chicken Inasal.
Peanut Butter happiness!!! :)

The Dysfunctional Family I Love
I got inspired by an application message I received from my social networking site. The message in essence meant to celebrate life with our families. My heart was filled with so much joy upon reading that message for I have that family who celebrates my life with me.
We are a dysfunctional set and I am not ashamed to admit it. When I meant dysfunctional, what I am trying to say is that my family is not of the normal kind. We are not showy to each other to begin with. We have our quirks but the good thing is we do not pretend to be perfect for others to see. This trait is what makes us strong and what makes our love better.
But in spite of the quirks, the problems and the issues we have as a family, I am thankful for having these people in my life. They are there in the best of times, they are there in the worst of times. They may not be saying things out rightly but in actions I know they will always stand by me. I have failed several times to live their expectations but not once did I ever hear them blame me. Not once. All they did was to make me feel that they support me in picking up the pieces of myself even if they are disappointed. I will never hear from them that they are ashamed of me. I will never hear them say that "I told you so."
I may be the biggest failure in the eyes of others but to my family I am damn perfect.
And for that I am eternally greatful to the universe.

*Sundays are simply the best.
*Hot oil treatment creams from Watsons are love.
*DIY mani and pedi
*Family bonding session
*Family Sunday Lunch
*Leche flan
*"Hilata sa Kama" Mode :P
It is still a mish-mash of things but I'll figure how to go about with this one.
Little things make its way to tremendous bliss.

Can't Complain
It has been busy days for me both at work and personal life.
It has become a bit crazy that I now crave some serious down time, like perhaps a trip to the beach or a foreign destination. Or maybe as simple as a day to myself without any worries about how things will be. These are the days that I daydream about Bacolod and Cambodia and how laid back those two places are.
At times when my schedule is hectic, I reminisce of the days we are travelling back and forth Cambodia on a bus, with the endless road and the time in my hands to just think about anything I want to and enjoy the view. I really like road trips, it makes me calm. It is on these days that I wish I could just go to Laiya and drink beer from noon till night time, swim at the beach then sleep in early for 12hrs straight. Such is the life I so badly want right now.
But who am I to complain? Who am I to not want to get busy? Life is about living anyway and being busy meant like it somehow. I am just thankful about the learning I gain in spite of being tired from all the things I am involved right now.
I still have my day dreams to keep me sane. :) Bring it on!:)

When Things Go Out Of Hand
I have heard it all before. When life gives you lemons, make lemonades out of it.
But how do you exactly go about a situation that has gone for the worse? How do you really cope with it?
It is easy to give up and tell yourself that there are certain things that would never get fixed the way you want it to be. It easy to be negative and ask the question why fix something you know will be broken again? And it is easy to lose hope and make yourself believe that everything is broken anyway and will stay that way. But the hardest is striving to keep the faith that things will be better.
Keeping faith is keeping that voice in your head that no matter what bad things may happen in your life, you know it will get fixed. And that life will always be good. You always have a choice to make the best out of any situation in life, for life did not promised it to be easy for all of us.
Be it a small situation at work getting way out of hand or a big problem in the major aspects of your life, sooner or later things will always be for the good. Not exactly what we always hoped it to be but sometimes even better.
Cliché as it may sound, let us all make lemonades out of those lemons that we get from life. Better yet, go ahead and add some tequila or vodka to that lemonade of yours and make a margarita.
We all deserve to party once in a while after all.
