still alive
i know it's been forever since i made a real post. so here i am. many friends are getting married and it's been fun (but tiring!) helping out, doing research, finding cutesy things here and there to incorporate. but most of all, it's just nice to spend time and get to know my best friend and her relationship with her man. good peeps, different perspectives and that's what i failed to realize last year. i'm usually pretty good at considering other's perspectives and not take insult or offense at what they say or do. and i usually follow my instinct. just that time, i didn't and it wreaked havoc on our relationship. anyway, it's water under the bridge now and we hang out, even if it's to do wedding errands.
work has bene insane. it's obviously let up if i'm able to blog now. i had a monstrous project that kept me up at 3am on a sunday night, only to keep me at work again on wednesday evening until 11pm. it was so exhausting and stressful! i even broke out in stress zits. i've taken a break from that project, but the only reason why is to do payroll tasks since thursday until today. so i take a break from one job task in order to do another. but at least, i'm used to this one, not nearly as stressful.
in other news... i got a digital camera! that's old news actually, cuz it's been a month already i think. but i still haven't learned how to post pictures. i haven't even taken the time to just upload them. but i will soon enough. i have a cute little 2-year-old cousin's picture that i wanna share. i played with her during my family reunion and she was the most adorable lil thing! my other cousins were telling me that she's suplada (conceited/bratty/cranky in tagalog) and doesn't like to go with just anyone, especially those she doesn't know. so it was a compliment that she totally latched on to me and we hung out the whole time!
it'll be 2 years next month since our first date. amazing how fast time just flew by. i keep getting that question asked (mostly by relatives). and no, we're not ready. not for a long time. we still have the same argument over and over... and i've been able to turn it around to a positive. but it's wearing me down as well. it's discouraging to begin with and this last one happened last week at the height of my stress level. i really didn't need to be arguing with him, especially a conversation we've had 10 billion times (okay, maybe only 900,000). so i broke down in tears multiple times. and just like all the other tears i've shed in the past 2 years, he's been there to just hold me. i love that. even when it's his fault ;) hehehe! the difficult times are definitely times of growth, but the good times still outnumber the difficult.
but still, we're not ready... so stop asking.
happy 23rd birthday to emely!
and i hope y'all had a lovely columbus day. i didn't get it off, but with the traffic that light, it was enough of a holiday for me, so thanks to all the government and bank workers out there who didn't have to go to work!

quotable quotes
-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
