Christmas 2007
I had a surprisingly jam-packed December, where I go out of town for three weekends in a row. Will be flying to Indiana to spend New Year with my other set of relatives tonight... I was gonna post a new entry once things settle down, but thought that I should at least have a post-Christmas entry.
I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and may the year 2008 be a fruitful one for all of us! =D
Of course, here's a pic taken during Christmas day to tide you over, hehehe =P

Thanksgiving 2007 =)
i went through a roller coaster of emotions the past 2 weeks, but i think things have finally settled down, just in time for Thanksgiving.
superficially, i am thankful for going through that emotional roller coaster because it made me lose enough weight to feel confident that i won't feel fat during the holiday season, HEHEHE =P
on a more serious note:
i am thankful for finally feeling like i belong with my extended family here in California.
i am thankful for (and scared of) the anticipation that i am about feel more challenged with my job.
i am thankful for still being in touch with my close friends in the Philippines and Singapore (shout-out to FACEBOOK!).
i am thankful for the awesome Filipinos in my company who warmly welcomed me with open arms (and made me embrace my geekiness, hahaha).
i am thankful for my wonderful non-Filipino co-workers-turned-friends, some of whom have left (or are about to leave) our Kyocera "family".
i am thankful for the wonderful people around me... you all know who you are =)

ah, the irony...
this has been my favorite song the past few weeks...
No One
by Alicia Keys
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So til the end of time I'm telling you there is no one
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

wallet
my wallet's synthetic leather has been peeling off lately, so... i went on a quest to buy a replacement wallet.
i didn't really have a specific style in mind, i just wanted something small enough to fit in my bag yet roomy enough to fit all my cards in -- just like the wallet i'm carrying right now. (it's not like i have twenty cards naman noh, mga anim lang naman...i think, hehehe)
i also wanted something pretty yet practical, so i figured it shouldn't be too hard to find the "perfect" wallet after a little window shopping...
well, it's been a week and i found myself returning 4 wallets with still no replacement. the ones i bought either didn't comfortably fit my cards in or were too big (or too expensive or not pretty enough).
the bulimic shopper in me has come out in full force. hai, i just want a new wallet... why is that so hard to find?
oh yeah, i just bought another wallet last night. naturally, i intend to return that wallet after work today... *sigh*
(FYI, a bulimic shopper is someone who purchases some merchandise and finds himself/herself returning the merchandise within the same week due to buyer's remorse.)

SF gay pride parade 2007
summer is here! (and yes, i do have the uneven farmer's tan to prove it...)
been a little busy with summer activities here and there... a definite highlight was the SF gay pride parade a few weeks ago... went with Edil to see what the parade was about (was a little disappointed -- only saw less than five naked people, HEHEHE).... had a wonderful lunch at the cheesecake factory, did a little shopping, got 2 CUTE tattoos (temporary lang po), had a lot of fun.... we were on our way home when Barry invited us to go bowling and eat at Gerry's grill afterwards... sarap ng food! (shempre, sobrang sira na ang diet ko, as expected...)
Hopefully, the rest of the summer will be just as fun, enjoyable and memorable... have a good one y'all! =)
(pictures from the parade can be found below...)

new pics!
let's replace that previous cranky post with something a little cheerier...
Sometime last week(?) -- karaoke night with my frequent lunch buddies at work (B & Z):
Memorial weekend trip -- tree hugger (redwood yan! =D):
My cousin's grad night celebration (can you guess which ones were drunk? hehehe):

so far okay naman ako dito... minsan may mga minor reklamo here and there (kaya nga life can be a bitch, diba? malayo pa talaga ang boyfriend, hehehe)... but when you look at the big picture, i know how lucky i am... i live in one of the best places in the world, i have a great support system (thanks to my warm and caring relatives), i have a full-time job which pays well na rin, i work with people that i actually like, and i gained wonderful friends in the company pa. so diba? i'm in no mood to bitch right now...
today pala was my dad's death anniversary "gathering" (for lack of a better word). andaming pagkain!!! i got to invite my pinoy co-workers to my tita's house for the first time. masaya naman -- todo ang kain, chikahan at nagpoker pa konti. it really brightened my day so i want to thank them for coming =)
i also want to congratulate my juniors who completed another year in NTU, especially the upcoming graduates! woohoo! kain tayo sa labas pag bisita ko sa singapore ha? clubbing rin! parati tayong may plano di naman natutuloy (i'm looking at you derek, HEHEHE). i would like to welcome you all to the "real world" and i hope that this new chapter of your life will be fun, fruitful and full of blessings. congrats ulit! =D
ayan, this is the longest post i've written in a while. it's time to go now since i'm getting sleepy na.. goooooooood night!
*jussy --> *ka-poof!!!*
