to my friends who i had lunch today, thanks so much for a wonderful time. really had fun and lots of good laughs. =) thank you. thank you. and the spicy tuyo was so delicious. yum! tops, too bad you were not able to join us. probably next time.

before heading back to the office, i accompanied eunmi to Bizu and get her mom some ensaymada. i decided to get my boss a blueberry chiboust (its really blue berry cheesecake) since i've been bragging to her about how delicious desserts are in Bizu. eunmi kidded that it was a bribe since im going back to the office at 3pm from lunch. "yeah, in some way this is a bribe", i said.

once i got back to the office, i gave the treat to my boss. she thanked me and enjoyed the chiboust. we chatted for a while since she knew two of my friends. and then she said, "aga mo na ka balik from your lunch. nagmamadali ba sila makabalik ng office nila?" and i was like, "mother, late na nga e. its past 3pm na po." and she replied, "e, maaga pa rin kasi lunch yung date niyo." =) and now you know why KG and I love it here and why we like our boss. the blueberry chiboust wasnt a bribe after all. hehehe.

on my way home last night, i saw this store that sells ice cream. particularly "soft ice cream". got me thinking, if there's  such an ice cream, then there is also a "hard ice cream" right? hmmm...

oh my! i just remembered. its the old crush/friend's birthday today. happy birthday to him! =)  id rather risk greeting him here than send him an SMS.

he finally found a girlfriend (don't mean to make it sound so sarcastic). happy for him. at least, he would stop bugging people about how lonely he is and let people explain why he is still single. when i learned about it, didnt know how to react. a part of me was truly ecstatic for him and another part just sort of said "oh really?!" (with a raised eyebrow). things started to flood my mind about him and our past. i suddenly remembered all the pain, hurt and how he dropped me (& the relationship) like a hot potato. it's like an ally mcbeal scene where ally was shot a couple of arrows on her chest. yes, that kind of pain. all i could remember was, he was a jerk and an asshole...(pardon the cuss words). ggggrrrr!

i started to bombared him with questions like are you sure youre ready and all that suff. he said he was taking it one day at a time and he thinks he's ready...but i wasnt convinced. i told him to do things right this time. make her a priority. and most importantly, fight for her... i just don't want another girl to fall in the same trap and just end up crying, hurt and broken hearted...like me...before...

some of you might think that i have a tinsy winsy love left for this guy. but i don't. i have analyzed myself on this and i love the man i am with right now. i think its more of my ego/pride who took over what i felt when i found out. for a time, i was having my perfect revenge (perfect coz i didnt plan anything. it was just the turn of events) when he tells me and when people around tell me that he was so stupid to let go of me. it hurts for him to see me happy with the relationship i have right now. it kills him deep inside. that made me smile coz he was feeling some of the pain and hurt i felt before. and i was happy knowing that.

but now, my perfect revenge has come to an end. attention is not mine anyomore. he found somebody who would make him happy...again. please don't think im too eveil or bad to think this way. im just but human who makes mistakes in looking at things at a certain way. im not jealous of the girl or something. again, its pride/ego taking over. it's just territorial. its something like, he was mine first. remember the scene in my bestfriend's wedding when julia roberts was asked by her gay bestfriend (forgot his name) why she wanted to break up michael and kimmy so badly? she replied (not verbatim), "i loved michael. and at first, yes, it was about winning. but now, i realized that i just want him because he got to be mine first." of course, i dont want him and i would never break them up. i just wanted to give a concrete example on what i was trying to say and feel.

im not quite sure if my reaction was normal. should i have reacted in a different way? i dont know. but be my guest. although in the end, my im-happy-for-him part is up by a few points against the sarcastic part of me. i pray and hope that they be happy and have a good, lasting relationship. and im praying that he makes it work this time. he's not intelligent for nothing, right? besides, i know that he is genuinely happy on how things are going in my relationship and my life. i truly wish them all the best...

I need to diet! Or probably, I need to eat less on my usual binge with food. Im not doing this beacause I'm figure conscious. Im doing this because Im money conscious. I don't want to spend money in buying a whole new set of wardrobe even if I can't fit in some of my fave pants and blouses already. I need to discipline myslef in eating less of everything. Or else, I will be a poor fat girl. =( So, i am going to diet! Lord...HELP ME!!!!

I always have a problem in writing emails to clients coz I tend to be so "mataray" or "bitchy" at them especially when their suggestions are so dull or "stupid" is written all over their email. I need to read my email a couple of times before I send it out to make sure that it is client friendly. After all, I'm the PR business. hehehe.

I'm bored here at work. It's a slow one today. But I don't want to complain. I might get swamped with work tomorrow. hahaha.

one of my oldest friends called me last night. he wanted to talk to me about some problems he has been having and wanted to seek for my advice. i listened to all his rants and raves (but more of the ranting actually) about his relationship, work and family. i was a guidance counselor again for the night. i gave him advice and i think he was happy with what i said. then he asked me how i was doing. i told him that i was doing ok. then he said, "just ok?". i told him that life is good now, i cant complain. nothing earth shaking and mind blowing happening to me these days. he told me that my life was boring and dull. my life doesnt have any spice. i told him that its not the case. i am just at peace with my life and happy that things are doing well for me. and maybe i just have learned to be mature on things and how i deal with my problems. and maybe i just have a sunnier outlook in life. and all my friend could say was "good for you."

after talking to my friend, i cant help but pray to God and thank Him for making my life what it is today. coz looking back of the things i had to deal with last year and the years before that, it wasnt really easy. but here He was (and always there) to support me and assure me that everything happens for a reason. He was there to remind me that He won't give anything I couldnt bear. He was there to give me family and friends to be my support system. And look at me now, a stronger and more mature jen has emerged. I could not thank Him enough. The storm has passed and now its all sunshine. But I know, God is preparing me (again) for more things to come my way. But I'm not afraid to face it coz I know in my heart, I will be victorious and He will be there to guide me. So whatever and whenever it is, I say "bring it on!" =) All my praises are for Him. God is good...ALL THE TIME!
