Moving!

Hello... I'm moving to my new site... I've found a more robust place I can post my thoughts and everything else... hehehe! http://dianne1212.multiply.com

I'll keep this account when I read blogs though. So. Yun. =)

Sweet Escape

"If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape"

From "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani -- thanks to Liza. :-)

So Little Time

So much to do, I'd rather spend my time...

Having "coffee time talks" with my folks. The kind of conversations that never look at the time. Work life has been hectic that spending time at home equates to having 5-minute oatmeal breakfasts and going straight to bed. Tsk, tsk. I have such wonderful parents who are dynamic, modern yet conservative, intelligent, and have great sense of humor. I enjoy talking to them, so why can't I?

Being artistic. I love making accessories! It started out as a small business amongst four career women (naks) almost four years ago. They have all resigned now, except for me. I continued to make them as a hobby and also gave them out as gifts. I go gaga over beads... It's just frustrating how I can only buy reasonably priced beads and materials in far-off Divisoria or Quiapo. So the next best thing is Carolina's in Glorietta. Never a day-in-Glorietta goes by without me entering this store and getting a pack of beads or metal charms. Hehe. I've always been inclined with artsy stuff, may it be through painting or photography, but now I'm into wearable art.=)

Daydreaming. I think I've accomplished a fair amount of goals I've set a few years ago... I'm proud of myself. But until this moment I ask myself, is this really for me? I didn't go to work today - I had the worst headache of the century yesterday and until this morning. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, because I've been sleeping early, as in not later than 9PM the last three nights. Stress maybe? Or the aircon? My bebi and I made a deal that we should arrive at work around 7:45-8am and leave earlier than 6:30PM. So you know, trying to set a healthy work life... but the daydreams never end.

Doing Nothing with Bebi. People may think we spend too much time together. We both live in the South, so we go to and from work together. We work on the same floor and project, so of course we have lunch together. We've been together for more than 7 months now and yes, yes, (oo na, oo na hehe) we're still quite "young" BUT I can truly say, I can see myself in the "always together" situation for more, more years to come... Sitting for an hour on our sofa just kidding and teasing each other is pure bliss.

And the list goes on... but these are the things I have actually done in the last two months, aside from work that is. Don't get me wrong, I love my work. But I don't necessarily enjoy it. I love the opportunities it gives me, but I don't crave for it. Oohh... I just remembered about 5 years ago, I gave a day in the life of an analyst speech for an NJO. I actually compared CBTs to Vegetables. So something like that. What a geek I was. Haha.

Okay, so it's past 10PM, way past my bedtime. Tomorrow is another day... I had enough rest I think. I'd rather spend my time working then. Or maybe not...

Pittsburgh

Here are some photos I took from my vacation in Pittsburgh - "The City of Bridges". Not the sentimental ones - but the autistic ones haha.=P



P.S. I just have to say this: I miss my bebi!!! He left for the US today... =(

I'm not fond of sunsets...

... but I know a lot of People who love chasing them. Aside from photographers of course - they chase everything.=) I'm not fond of sunsets, and I'm not fond of this feeling I have right now. Here's a view from my office window. If only I can just chase sunsets away!

Lazy Afternoon

I've been sick for the past two days, and so with the little energy I had today, I attempted to WORK. So here I am, WORKing on a blog post. Hehehe! I know I do not need to apologize for being lazy - sometimes. And yet I feel anxious because I have not accomplished anything "substantial". Even my creativity got lazy - and I thought that's impossible. I hope I don't get punished for thinking this way on a Good Friday.
