Ever After

Five years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this road, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
‘Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine

Emotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you, I want to make it right

Work-Life Balance?

It’s a common knowledge to everyone close to me that I really had a hard time during the 4th quarter of the year 2005. It really was a crappy couple of months both on my personal and professional life. I had problems coming at me from all sides! Crazy crazy crazy times! Lovelife was going way way down… (caused by a monster! monster! monster!) and my work…. let’s just say I became a loner during my first few months at my work. Now everything seems to be going fine… better than fine (can’t think of a better word). I now even enjoy going to the office… of course not because of the work but because of my workmates… =) I have a scheduled Work-From-Home today but I still chose to go to the office. Hahaha. (Gabz and Jam don’t be too flattered!) Most of them are now my close friends. We even go out together! It’s not enough that we see each other every single workday. LOLZ! So happy that I got to know this group of people. Especially my girls, Tin and Cel! *WINK*

those were the days…

those were the days my friend

we thought it'll never end

those were the days

oh yes those were the days...

I found this old photo… from way before… not way, way before… maybe 2 years ago. See how very thin I was??? Oh yes those were the days! Haha. I look like an addict. How I wish I can be like that again, well maybe not LIKE that… a few pounds more than that… Oh well, there’s always Gold’s Gym! Which reminds me, GOTTA finish that 8 sessions!!! LOLZ.

We all have moments of desperation, if we can face them head on that's how find out just how strong we are…

I was watching Desperate Housewives the other day (I know, I know I’m quite late…) and I heard Mary Alice say this line to Susan when the latter found out that her husband was cheating on her. And then it hit me… just how true this line is. We all experience low points in our lives, it may be brought about by our family, maybe friends, maybe work… generally by someone or something we really love. We get disappointed when we don’t get something we are desperately hoping for. We get hurt when we lose someone we love. We get our hearts broken, sometimes not just once. There comes a time when the desperation becomes so unbearable that we just give into it and just wallow in our misery. As fun as wallowing is, we do get over our heartaches and pains, which goes to show just how resilient the human heart really is… we just realize one day that the storm has passed and the future is once again shining brightly in front of us… and when we look back we realize just how strong we are.

Every person has their share of pain. Every person has their ways of facing their pains. We may face our problems differently but the end result hopefully is always positive, always the same.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.... c",)
