So date yourself. Fall in love with yourself.

Here's an article in yahoo personals that I've read and want to share with you. Out of 5, I got 3 1/2 signs of personal completion. Igo ko sa #2 and guilty sa #5 usahay.

Also found these quotes from the article and they are very true.

" A healthy relationship is defined by two independent people who share a love for each other but are not dependent on each other."

"The best relationship is when two people that complete themselves come together to enjoy each other. Look for your "soul-match," not a fantasy "soulmate" who will complete you in some way -- that's your job!"

"Remember, we attract a reflection of ourselves, so consider working on completing yourself as an investment into upping the quality of your lifetime companion."

Here are five signs of personal completion:

1. Whether you are single or in a relationship, you cherish your alone time. You don't feel lonely. You actually enjoy doing things on your own. A movie or dinner alone does not scare you.

2. You can be around other couples by yourself without feeling jealous or sad about not having a significant other (or not having your significant other with you).

3. The idea of being in a relationship sounds wonderful, but it is not something you obsess about everyday. If you are in a relationship, it does not consume your daily thoughts or activities.

4. You have a clear sense of who you are and what your values are -- another person would not be able to sway you to sacrifice or change the things that matter to you the most.

5. You realize you are responsible for your own happiness and do not look to anyone else to make you feel a certain way. You have no expectations of what a relationship is supposed to do for you.

buhay tambay

written June 26, 2008
My unilever days ended last june 15, 2008. I left after dada and anj did. I have to because i realized that the job wasn't for me and there's another job waiting for me. Though it was "Unilever" and the pay was good, the job requires a lot of travelling and I'm not used to it. Exactly not me. People who know me well knew that I won't stay long for that kind of job. But 3 months was like 3 years for me because I found great friends, been to places and knew stuff i didn't know before. I'm not happy to leave but I know it's for the best. (*crossing fingers)

On the brighter side, I'll be officially on board for another company on june 30. So it means I have 15 days of vacation. yey!

Before my tambay days came, I downloaded bunch of movies and tv series and copied some of old flicks (i've watched and haven't) from my cousins. I hope it would be enough because I have my part time jobs and my pamangkins to keep me busy during those days.

My 2-year old pamangkin, derek was my alarm clock every 12nn or earlier, everyday. He would jump on my bed, yell at my ear or put his fingers on my eyes while saying "tita gising na gabi na! kain na!". My sister always ask him to wake me up because they knew when I slumber you can barely wake me up but derek is different. He won't lay off 'til he brings you out to have lunch. So that is how i spend my first part of the day. Having lunch. Then I take a bath afterwards I bury myself to work. And then when (I think) I'm done, I indulge myself to movies and tv series which is my favorite part of the day aside from sleeping anyway and because of my hectic schedule, I usually dooze off at 4am in the morning. And this has been my routine for days.

To name, I've watched lord of the rings trilogy, harry potter trilogy, bourne trilogy, shrek trilogy, mission impossible trilogy, just married, the others, shutter (english version), matrix trilogy, sex and the city (which i love), chocolate (thai), the happening, cloverfield (which sucks!), ironman, 21, definitely maybe, One tree hill - season 5, smallville - season 7, grey's anatomy - season 4 (my favorite) and watched some episodes of gossip girl, supernatural and the hills.

This is my own version of having a vacation and over all, I was happy and satisfiied with it. I get to do what I love and spent time with myself, family, friends and jon. Too bad it's almost over.

helluva!

Last week was a helluva week. I mean the positive "hell" here coz I sort of enjoyed what I did. hehe.

May 6: Kulang sa tulog because kelangan taposin ang wedding presentation for ate's wedding and uwi na ako kinabukasan ng hapon and since it's a surprise, I can't work at home coz obviously she'll be around most of the time for the preparation.

May 7: I came to the office earlier than usual coz kelangan ko mag undertime coz I have to go home. Jon and I arrived home 9:00 in the evening and I was shocked sa dami ng tao sa bahay and coz of that I had an idea and was glad coz everything I needed for the presentation e nasa bahay na. We waited for ate to sleep and took everyone's messages thru jon's cp. I slept late coz I embedded the videos in my presentation but sadly hindi pa siya tapos coz I also needed messages of kuya rick's relatives.

May 8: Wedding day! I woke up early coz I have to rush to kuya rick's relatives to ask for their messages. Afterwards, I edited the videos a lil bit then embedded it all in the presentation. Bahala na si batman! I rushed to the hotel coz I have my obligations as maid honor. Nagpaganda. Picture2x. Nag-alalay sa bride. Picture2x. I was glad they love the presentation. Pinaghirapan gud namo ni jon. Hilak jud ko kng may manghinaway! The wedding was a blast! I'm really happy for ate and kuya. After the wedding, nag videoke pa kami pero pagka 2am, hapla na akong beauty.

May 9: Woke up @ 7am then byahe agad coz I have to be in davao at 1pm. I have to prepare stuff coz I have to go to CDO on monday and wala ng ibang time para magprepare. 7pm, I met some of my college friends, had dinner and nag meeting for the next day college reunion. Went home mga 2am coz laag2 pa kami especially c jnet ngayon lang nakapatong ng davao after how many months.

May 10: Reunion! Woke up @ 7am coz the assembly time is 8am in Sta. Ana port pa. Bad trip coz nag change venue kami. Instead na somewhere in talikod, Paradise nalang daw para marami ang maka sunod. Nag overnight kami, nagswimming, naglaro, kumain and nagkwentohan. I really enjoyed the reunion kahit kunti lang kami.

May 11: We dozed off at 3am and woke up mga 7am. We ate our breakfast, kwentuhan naman ulit, gusto sanang maligo ulit coz the beach was so tempting, took photos and finally went home @ 10am. Hapla na sad akong beauty and woke up mga 2:30pm. Mga 5pm we went to G-Mall to meet jnet there and bade goodbye coz she's flying back to manila na. Then went to Penong's with em2 and jon coz that time unlimited rice ang hanap ko. Kelangan kong e kain ang pagod ko! Went home, fixed my stuff for CDO at natulog.

May 11: CDO! Woke up @ 12mn, took a bath, browse ng internet sandali then hinatid ako ni jon sa bus terminal. Em2 told me na 2:30am ang 1st trip unfortunately 4am pala. So we waited for 2 hours saka ako naka alis. 11am when I arrived at CDO. Nahirapan ako to get taxi from the terminal coz nagtransport strike but after 20 minutes, i finally got lucky. Went to the hotel and met my boss there. To make it short, we ate at Butcher's bbq, went back to hotel, went to Bo's for meeting, went to Ororama and G-mall for trade check, went to Malburry for meeting, went to unilver office for photocopy, went to my hotel to rest, had dinner at green haven, went to ketkai and bought a bday cake for my cousin, went back to hotel to check out and when i got there my uncle was already waiting, went to my aunt's place in gusa, we surprised my pinsan for his bday, sit and talked with them for a while and finally they brought me to the bus terminal. I took the 11pm ride and arrived (at last) in davao at 4am.

Now tell me, hindi ba naging Hell ang week ko? Sort of good hell pala. hehe.

ate bambie saves the day

At the office:

One busy afternoon, sofia came to me and said “Ate, kelangan ko ng attire for the play tomorrow.” I replied “So?". She said “Sabi ni mama kaw daw bibili.” Before I could react, my phone rang. It was ate bing, sofia’s mom and my officemate. I totally forgot that she and sir jay, his husband was in Manila for sir jay’s visa processing. She asked if I could sneak out of the office to buy sofia’s attire. She said I was her last resort coz the kid badly needed the attire. I’m doomed! So as soon as I finished my task for the day, I grabbed sofia and rush to the nearest mall.

At the mall:

Gaisano South is the nearest mall from our office in marfori, so we were there after 5 minutes. It was 3pm so we still have 2 hours coz sofia’s carpool will arrive at 5pm. Then we rushed to 4^th floor to the kids section first. Our goal is to find a green pants and a green jacket with hood. She’s going to be the turtle for the play so she needs to appear all in green.

When we got there, we instantly found sofia’s perfect pants and it’s very cheap. Finding the green pants was effortless but finding the jacket was chaotic. We found a jacket but not a plain green. We also found plain green jacket but without hood. Sofia and I argued a lot along the shopping coz I want to give up and just pick one of those jackets but she insisted what her teacher told her. She keep repeating “Ate, dark green jacket with hood po ang sabi ni teacher.” My last resort was the ladies section. So we dashed down the third floor and look all over the place. Eventually, we found a light green jacket. But before that we argued once again coz earlier she keep on saying that her teacher asked for dark green jacket but now she said that its okay as long as it is green. Knowing sofia, she won’t stop ‘til she gets what she wants. As expected, she keeps on reasoning out. She told me that people won’t notice the difference but I can tell she really like the jacket not just for the sake of having an attire but more than that. Funny thing was she found another green jacket that I like. So we went to the fitting room to check it out. And she was like sales-talking me the jacket but I really find it too undersized for me. In the end, I bought the jacket for her and went home tired. It was 4:45 in the afternoon, just in time for her carpool.

With the experience, I realized that having a daughter or son is no easy thing. Especially at sofia’s age who already know and will argue what she wants to wear. I really thought that you can make every kid wear anything. It was stressful but at the same time enjoyable.
