a friend in need is a friend indeed

I been feeling low these past few days. I'm sad because right now I'm officially all alone. My last roommate left for another job in another province. I feels like everybody is moving on while I'm still stuck here unsure of what to do next. The things I want before are not things that's in my priority list. It's funny because I used to decide what is best for me but now I have to consider a lot of things like my family. I'm torn between going back home and find a job locally or apply in universities abroad. I love my family more than anything and I'm sad that I'm not present during the important milestones in their life. I miss my mother and my sisters. But I can't let go of my dream of studying abroad. I would like to believe that I could do it given the opportunity. So I'm in this confused state and I don't have friends here with to tell it to. A beer would be good, especially if shared with a friend.

what is worse, kissing strangers or kissing friends?

What is worse, kissing strangers or kissing friends?

I have been in the two situations actually.

I'm actually a late bloomer. I had my first kiss at 24. It was not mind blowing, knees shaking thing. I actaully have to ask for it from someone who was kind enough to give it to me (another story). It was a gentle kiss, it was nice enough. It made me feel liberated. I'm not the girl who's never been kissed and giving kisses to others is not a big deal anymore since I "lost" already.

1. Kissing strangers. I met this guy and we had a few drinks. He was a few years younger than me and I do admit that I was flattered with the attention he's giving me. I went to the CR and somehow we ended up kissing. It was hot, I enjoyed a few minutes of it and I broke it off. That was the last night we went out.

2. Kissing friends. This guy has been my friend since elementary. We attended our high school friend's wedding, had a few moments alone and I kissed him, I think he kissed me back also. I don't really like him that much but somehow kssing him was good idea at that time. Of course I was embarassed the next day, it was awkward. I hope we can it out someday and be friends again.

I only kissed three guys. I'm hoping I'll experience kissing someone I love and experience that happy feeling afterwards just like in the movies.

saying goodbye

I always have a problem in saying goodbye, I can't go though it without crying. Graduation is already here and I'm sad to say here that I did not graduate (for a lot of reasons but mainly because I am too lazy to do my paper). I do have friends who graduated, their effort paid off. I am very happy for them, they look really good wearing barong, white blouse, and the ultimate accessory--sablay.

I wish them well. May the Lord bless them in their future endeavors and i hope that all the things they learned in the university will be applied and have an impact in our country.

hello 2011

This is my first post for this year and I really don't know what to write here yet. So much has happened since my last post. 2010 ended and 2011 started. Let me just say that my 2010 was very much productive. I got another contract so i still have a job that I like and a boss who is very kind. I'm thankful that nothing bad happened to my family.

I got to travel to a lot of places and spent quality time with friends who really matter. April 2010, went to Sagada. July 2010, went to Maralison Island, Antique. Then went to Concepcion and Ajuy, visited and dove in Nogas Island, Antique. August 2010, climbed Negros highest peak, Mt. Kanlaon. I had a wonderful Christmas and New Year with my family and friends.

2011 started in Boracay. I love Ati-atihan, hopefully i'll be back again in 2012. I went back there again with Ate Fair last March. I appreciated the place even more, it's like you can be this young, sexy thing and don't care about the world but is just enjoying cold beer near the ocean. I will surely be back.

My goal for 2011 is to travel to Davao or Ilocos and hopefully use my passport for the first time.

Bothered

I'm actually bothered these past few days.

1. There is a boy. Yes, finally a boy in my life. "Boy" perfectly describes him since he is 5 years my junior. It started with exchanging of numbers. Few text messages and ended kissing in the comfort room. How the hell it happened. I don't know. I was too drunk to remember how and why and cannot even decide if I enjoyed the kiss of not. Lesson: Stop drinking if you cannot stand anymore. Drink with a trusted friend. Men cannot be trusted in general. I did enjoy spending time with "boy" but i need to let him go eventually. He is obviously looking for a good time and I'm not a good time girl especially when I'm sober.

2. L. Are you mad at me?? I hope not, it may look like i don't care but i do. I treasure our friendship. I hope we can iron this out. I'd be sad if our friendship ends.

3. My proposal. I'll be presenting at the end of the month. I'm too lazy to start it. I'm really sad here. I want to go home, be with my family and friends but I need to stay here to get my graduate degree.

4. The future. What do I really want? I don't know what I want. F*ck.
