Letter to Myself
Life is cruel. Unfair. Unjust. And boring.
Life is exciting. Upbeat. Unpredictable. And fun.
Whichever those descriptions of life you're leaning on, one fact remains. Life is life. And life is better when shared with another. Going through the cruel things with others can help lessen the burden and ease the load. It can help put a sense on all of these trials. And much more so when going through the fun ones.

The Grinning Fool (A Repost from I Wrote This For You)
Each night, somewhere out there, people go to bed petrified that I might be as happy as I am.
And I wake up each day and make their worst fears come true.

Immortal Beloved
In the spirit of Valentine's Month, here's Ludwig Van Beethoven's love letter to his anonymous "Immortal Beloved". (source here)
The entire letter is written on 10 small pages, in Beethoven's rather inconsistent handwriting. The first section occupies four pages. In the following, the dashes and underlined words are as in Beethoven's manuscript, crossed-out parts are enclosed in “<...>”.

My Valentine
February 14 is a day known to all. Of course, I am not one to break tradition. =)
Here's what happened to mine. =)
Went on duty early on the day. Woke up at the crack of dawn to prepare for my first day back from vacation. Work wasn't so bad. The usual sounds of stressed-out nurses, tired doctors, and aching patients filled my ears. And though I've been at this job for quite a while, having just gone on a relatively long vacation, I actually needed time to reorganize myself and adjust to the hospital environment. =p My head kept spinning the entire time and the only thought in my head was "Work's gonna end soon..." over and over and over like a broken record.

Happy Birthday Boyfriend 02-12-2012
Words are not enough to express how thankful I am to this one special person who helped make me a better person. And since this is his special day, I would like to take this opportunity to at least try to convey my gratefulness.

Valentine's Day Blues
V-day is coming up. And to top that off, it's our 52nd monthsary today. And as if that wasn't enough already, it's his birthday tomorrow. =p *sigh*
I pride myself at gift-giving coz I somehow always know what to give to people instinctively (especially when that "people" is "me" haha) but come this time of the month, I always arrive at the exact same spot every year. Nowhere. I am nowhere near buying the perfect gift for him as I am at reaching whatever dreams I have.
He's not the most materialistic kind of guy so I don't think he'd be happy with just the random stuff other girlfriends give their boys. He's mature and funny and techie and deep and he wants company more than anything else...something I can give, given I quit work, probably. =p

Puerto Princesa, Palawan
El Nido, Palawan
Despite many downs, this week was a definite upper. =) And although I had to shed tons for this trip, every cent was worth the experience. One I can never get back. And one I will surely never forget. =)
Leaving at noon of Feb. 7, 2012 and arriving the afternoon of Feb. 10, 2012, it was one of the best weeks and vacations of my life! =) Stayed at Hadefe's Cottages. Not so grand a place, but has a great provincial feel to it. They also treat their customers really great!

Quake hits Cebu (Feb.6,2012)
A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Cebu 20 minutes ago. I felt it. For the first time, I felt the shaking and the unsureness of what's gonna happen next.
There I was sleeping peacefully in my room, when all of a sudden, I got jolted right out. I felt the bed start to shake, slowly at first and then gradually build its speed and intensity. Then, for a few seconds, I heard and felt the world rumble a deep, frightening sound. Then it ended just as abruptly as it started.
My instinct told me it was an earthquake, so I just stayed where I was (since I was already in the lower bunk of the double-decker). But I really thought I was dreaming until the lady on the radio said "it's important in an earthquake that you do not panic". That confirmed it. I just felt a 6.8M quake hit Cebu. And I dreaded what might happen next. Aftershocks can happen anytime.

The Love Month
It's February and yes, I'm feeling the love. =)
Everyone's celebrating the month with hugs and kisses and chocolates and roses and what do I do? I'm going to Palawan! =)
With barely a month left with him, how can I not? He'll be leaving soon and I'm told I have to do what I can to spend my days with him. Yes, I'm pretty sure we'll meet again. In about five months, maybe, but the time can and will take its toll somehow. And something might change. Something will. So before anything goes awry, I've decided to do what I can to savor these last days with him. And if things go better than planned, well then, its a good hoorah for us, ei? =)

Let's Welcome 2012
New Year with the Castillo's =)
December31, 2011
Spent the day at SM. And yes, with the entire family in tow. =) It's always more fun with the family. =)
So to commemorate the end of 2011, we ate at a restaurant we've never tried before (again, another tradition..or more like a "thing" we have were we try out new places in town...or at least new places to us^^). This time, it's Krua Thai. =) Absolutely loved it there! Yummy food. Great ambiance. Great service. Oh, and a very awesome lighting for picture taking! Hah! Perfect end-of-the-year dinner, right? Right. =)

Pink Christmas
*Another late post*
December 24-25, 2011
So it's Christmas and as is tradition in our family, we get to celebrate it together. As one. As a family. =) I would like to think that we are close-knit. And I really believe that. Yes, there are the occasional bickering, nagging, and senseless fights but we patch it up and move on. Why? Coz that's what a family does. =) Or at least that's what our family does.
So here's what we did last Christmas. =)
