the shenanigans of eenamorata

 After rushing to accomplish some stuff at the office last Wednesday, I immediately packed my bag for a long awaited music recital at the CCP. I have scheduled this appointment one month in advanced just to make sure that all other appointments get cancelled for this one. Theia and Anna met me up at harbor square, then we saw tita grace and kuya elmer at the theater. It was a night of beautiful music. The last time i had been to CCP was during Miss Saigon pa, and watching beautiful concerts has been quite a while already. So to say that the concert was a stress reliever is an understatement. Its description would have to be a mixture of having a cold bath after a long hot day, having your bad dreams pulled out from your memory, and it also felt like flowers and prairies. I can testify through this that the best things in life are free. (see free seating on the ticket). stolen photo of the theater.. tsk tsk tsk After the concert (around 10pm), I hoped on the last trip ...

The twenty days- fifty days countdown begins. This is probably gonna be one of the hardest shenanigans that I'll be subjecting myself into. Its gonna be an exciting ride, probably frustrating but hopefully not heart breaking. I should be laying this down on the date provided, and I should do it do it as far as doing it is concerned. This plan should push through regardless of the many things, like schedules, contracts or people, that can change in the course of 50 days. Opportunities may not come  twice, goals should be pursued and dreams should never be put on hold for the sakes of well some people's prodding. Preparations for the date have already commenced. Trips to home are more frequent and intentional to seek after wisdom and advice, to seek solitude and to return to the plans and goals that were set in the beginning. Choosing not to be a push over, choosing to stand up for my own dreams and choosing to find my own voice. Albeit the fact that some good things ...

Mercury drug store has been benefiting from my VENTOLIN rota cup nebules for the last 20 days. My dear old frienemy—asthma has been keeping me up at night, sucking up my energy at work and it has been draining my wallet too. Because of my frienemy’s visit, I have to rely on my inhaler as my second source of life.  I’ve concocted theories like stress, dust allergies at work, food allergies, fumes from travelling too much, change of weather etc. as to why my dear old friend decided to visit me; but I might have been evading the root cause of it all. I am not the number one fan of house chores especially laundry and cleaning my room… but the thought that the cleanness of it might have been the reason why I have been having these attacks lately has been running around my mind. So, I’ve decided to gather up all the courage to face my room. Due to my busy schedule (waking up at: 5am-6am; prepare and travel for work: 6am -7am; work hours 7am- 4pm ++ or 6pm without OT pay… huhu...

Having alot of confusing thoughts about work lately and alot of not right thoughts as well... My work ethics and enthusiam in the office has been in a constant decline since when I could not remember. These things I know are 30% external and 70% internal; the reason being is mainly because I haven't been spending the right amount of time with God lately. Reading the only book that can enlighten the heart, revive the soul, give roses and sweet kisses to a despairing heart has been done in super less frequent times. This moment is a beautiful reminder and a great rebuke about the things I am missing because of the things that I have been doing but shouldn't or those that I should have been doing but doesn't... Psalm19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. bus rides are my thinking time...

This has been the most meaningful Valentine week that I have ever experienced to date.  Since I am single, a concerned friend taught me to make my own plans and take the cruelties of being single head on. So, I booked a promo flight to Cebu (not entirely random), took a three day leave from the office, packed my violet sky traveller back pack and hopped on the Sunday bus that will take me to the airport. I did this is just to escape all the things that are bothering me in the rat race that I am living in. Little did I know that this vacation will change me…  Spending Valentine’s with Maria I was thinking of how to surprise my lola Maria/Maring as soon as I boarded the cramped 11-seater turned 16-seater van that will bring me 77 km away from Bohol’s capital. When I finally went down at my designated stop, I immediately called her and told her to get out of the house to see me coming. She did not understand what I was saying, until I was at her front door. Her deligh...

Taking my morning coffee at Dunkin Donuts Tagbilaran. They have this nice and quaint 24 hour store that is overlooking Rizal St, one of the busiest streets in the city. I am once more humbled and left embarrassed by the goodness of people that I firmly believe in and sometimes doubted. My little Cebu adventure went well yesterday, except for the last part where I need to go home so find some place to sleep. The bus left Los Banos at around 11:00 am, it was early for my 3:20pm flight to Cebu because I was determined to find a new and cheaper mode of transportation from Magallanes to NAIA terminal 3. (Being into travel blogs lately, I was more than pumped to do my little adventures) From where the bus dropped me in Magallanes, I walked a little further and rode a jeepney to the MRT station in Pasay rotunda. Walked a little again, just so I could cross EDSA and go to the bus terminal in between McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts and Chowking. There have been rumors that a cheap...

According to wikianswers.com, shenanigans is anything that is wild or over the top, something that is considered crazy; these may also pertain to shady dealings or actions that aren't necessarily above-board. I am not particularly a crazy person. If left alone, you'd probably find me shy and quiet; but once I get together with crazy people, I can be a bit crazy too. This blog is an attempt to immortalize the life that I am currently living--a journey to single hood, it is also going to be a positive thinking exercise. I'd be trying to make better thoughts out of the not so better things and I'd be making greater thoughts out of better things.  We'll hopefully get to know each other as this life unfolds right before our eyes.
