The Idiot's Guide to Well-being

Tanga ba ako? (Am I stupid?) I think I like being stupid too much, that time and time again, I manage to act like one. Never mind that the object of my so-called-affection (hmm, define it please!) doesn't even seem to care about me at all, but I have to expect some sort of TLC still.

Ms. Mel said that sometimes, the guys want some signs from the girl. If smiling at him a lot doesn't constitute positive signs, I might have to reconsider "harana" soon. It's still a long way to go, anyhow, since I'm not particularly sure of my feelings yet...I think I only recently realized I like him when he began dismissing me. Or maybe that's just the eternal human trait of wanting something one cannot have...

Back to the forefront of being an idiot, certain remedies need to be taken. Idiocy is a mental illness and of course, sometimes, natural tendencies are hard to battle ( read: Obsessive-Compulsive, Manic-Depressive, Anorexia). So I am coming up with my therapy:

1. Stop looking (at the object). Out of sight, out of mind.
2. Keep distance - to avoid collision just in case the object in pursuit suddenly breaks.
3. Keep within the legal speed limit.
4. Avoid school/church zones.
5. Keep intersections open.
6. No left turn.
7. Turn right with care.
8. No hitch-hiking.
9. Appreciate humps. They are good for you.
10. The scenery might look too green and inviting, but you have a destination, too. It's okay to admire, but keep focused on the road ahead.

You kow it's home when you get there. An open, vacant lot, however green the meadow and inviting the springs, can never replace the warmth of a couch and a kitchen.. Home is where your heart is.

Wednesday Blues

It was too early for the Hurrahs. The "launching" of the enhanced website remains in murky waters as the developer fails (again) to remedy technical glitches. [And because I'm walled-in by the website twenty fours a day, seven days a week, I won't get into details here about the technical glitches]

Well, Jed and I are really into the Korean tour thing (especially Jed). Though my ever "nakaka-windang" schedule is pushing my excitement to the back of my head, I am still looking forward to eating honest-to-goodness kimchi and kimbap, drinking soju with matching "gombae!!!", strutting down the streets of Seoul like Kim Sam Soon, and checking out the cute Oppas. Oh swell, now that we're talking oppa here, my mood is perking up (sans the aid of di-uretic, congested nose-inducing coffee).

Anyway, we're still in a dilemma. Jed is particulary worried about the korean won gaining over the dollar, and I'm still mulling over my schedule. The biggest mole on our path is the budget, tight as it is, what with the high costs of airfares and hotels. Hopefully too, we'll be able to snatch some free time off to fix our visa and find a travel agency that won't bleed us dry.

Yay, my post today is definitely a blah...reflection of my current state of health (my monthly date with the common colds) and mind (darn website!). I'm dying to watch Narnia...and, embarrassed to say this, see Piolo melt some hearts in Don't Give Up on Us. Darn, but Juday is one lucky girl...even if it's just for show.

Devotion to the Sto.Nino

Finally, the new corporate website!!! Hurrah, after lifeyears, it's finally ready...Had to stay at the office until 8 pm last night to see to things, though. The people from the IT department (Paolo and Byron) really was helpful last night, kahit na dahil dito eh, sila yung kelangan mag OT to the max. Last night, at least andun si Byron kasi marami pang problems, considering that tomorrow, Monday, is the Go Lide date. Hay buhay.

Woke up VERY early in the morning for the annual "trek" to Divisoria. Today is the feast day of Sto. Nino, which is the patron saint (questionable, Sto. Nino is definitely not a saint - Sto. Nino is the Child Jesus) of Tondo and Cebu. There are two stories here.

Story 1: When I was only one month old, I fell ill and was rushed to St. Mary's hospital. As Mama (my maternal grandmother) told me ages ago, "isang bulate na lang ang hindi pumupirma" (I was in the brink of death). My mom went to the nearest church, the Sto. Nino church, as it is popularly known, and prayed. She asked God to heal me, and in turn, I will be "devoted" to the Sto. Nino. (Yun ba yung "panata"??). So every third Sunday of January, my mom would take me to hear mass at that Church.

Story 2: The Church houses an antique statue of the Sto. Nino. On it's feast day, people troop to the Sto. Nino church to view the statue. My mom told me that years ago, the statue was stolen. It rained and rained for days, flooding Metro Manila. And up to the time the head of the Sto. Nino was found (the body of the statue was divided into pieces presumely to make it easier to sell) Manila saw nothing but rain day in day out. Sounds like the story of Noah's Arc?? I don't doubt that it could happen. When something of mine is stolen, I want thunder to strike down the thief...I can just imagine....

Anyway, I am too sleepy to watch Narnia now...oh swell...

The Beginning of Another Stormy Year

The days are beginning to get hectic again...and here I was thinking 2006 would be the year I travel the world (because I can finally have some time off).

But as early as now, my calendar's starting to get dizzy. Already, the P&W ministry has given us notice that practices with the choir director would start this Saturday.

The Dancers, too, would resume practices this Sunday.

Sis. Ditas gave me my assignment for the SGS newsletter (interview and write-up about the Frez couple, my former sheepkeeper Tita Lorna, and composer Tito Ogie).

Yesterday, the BS Singers held elections for the new BS Singers Officers. Was able to reason my way out of the Presidency (which eventually went to Arlan), but got stuck with the VP position. The group wanted a younger breed, so they pushed us.

Classes started again last Saturday, and we have Local Fiscal Administration under Prof. Cruz. Got chosen Group Leader (on top being Class Treasurer - "taga abono"). This year, hopefully, without hassles, we would finish the course (IF we pass the Compre).

So...

After much deliberation, I realized I have to give up a few activities. I am still praying for it, but I feel I have to give up both P&W and Dance ministries for the mean time. P&W since I won't be able to attend practices anyway (Saturday MMPA classes) and Dance because I plan to rest and study on Sundays (my only free day).

Jed and I are also pushing through with the Korea trip...hopefully, we can get a cheap package, approved VLs, and earn some more moolah. Korea, Oppas, Kimchi, Unni Louise...HERE WE COME!

Anyway, despite my many yakking and blah-blah-ing over my hectic, exhausting sched, I do enjoy being busy. I am so busy I've forgotten to grieve my "broken heart" (as if!) and didn't even miss Mr. Whoever.
