Almost 5 years in the same place. I know I need some sort of change to happen now. Whether it's in the form of a new job... Or a better platform from a new boss.
I'm holding on to my faith. Whatever's best will happen. :)

Soulmates
Even in the world after this world, we will be together. Two magical beings of light and air.
Dancing through the heavens,
Shaking the stars free from the night sky.
Even in the life beyond this life,
Where a billion souls free-fall through the Universe...
I will come.
And I will find you.
The first time I read this I was 13 years old. Back then I thought: soul mates = lovers. I thought the word only applied to romantic links and relations.
But since then I've met a lot of soul mates.
In the form of my sisters, whom I love completely and unconditionally.
In the form of girls who I consider as my sisters.
In a friend I met inside the first music room I stepped in to at the age of 11. In the same friend 15 years later, when everything's changed but we have both remained as child-like as ever when we are together.
In the form of new friends I've clicked with instantly. Friends I feel I've known for life. Friends who have their weird ways, but I manage to accept them for who they are. Friends who I think are in my life right now to show me how much more love I am capable of giving.
In the form of a boyfriend who is now also my best friend in the whole world. Who knows me inside-out. But who still surprises me with new antics. And who still gets surprised with my new ones. Familiarity and Adventure all rolled into one.
Today I think about the people I consider my soul mates. And how lucky I am to have found them. And how with some of them I am still confused as to how close we really are supposed to be, but when I'm with them everything seems to make sense and everything matters, and everything is about laughter and smiling and happiness.
And that no matter what happens, I'm keeping them. :)

The Sun is Out
Well, it actually rained again tonight. But earlier this morning the sun was shining. And the weather news advised everyone that the typhoon has changed its course and its landfall won't occur in the country anymore.
I was feeling absolutely relieved this morning before going to bed. Mark and I have a beach trip this weekend and all week we had been dreading that it won't push through because of the gloomy weather.
But then I woke up to a text message by lunch time. I'm scheduled to go through a final interview for a job in a company I'm actually REALLY interested to be a part of. This will be on Saturday morning... at the exact same time we are scheduled to leave for Puerto Galera.
And so for one dramatic moment, the drama exaggerated by the fact that I was not thinking that straight since I just woke up, I asked myself: The Beach? Or a New Job?
The truth is choosing between the two is not really that big of a deal. The only concern is we we're supposed to leave with Mark's officemates.
But because of the interview, we can't do that anymore. I know Mark's a little disappointed. But the good thing is we can catch up with everyone the second my interview is over.
He's been so supportive. He knows I wanna make it to that interview. To get a shot at that job. To finally be able to be a part of a new company, a new environment, work with new people. Nothing's final yet, but to be able to take the opportunity to at least TRY to make it is the start of everything, right?
He knows how much I've been praying for this... more than anyone else.
So I guess to cut to the chase, today I learned how compromise and support is important in every relationship.
Because yes, my answer to the melodramatic question I posted upon myself in my half-awake state was: I WANT BOTH.
But whether I get one, or the other, or neither... knowing I have someone by my side who is willing to adjust things just so I could go after the things I want, is the warmest form of sunshine I am enjoying in my life right now.
May the following days bring more sun... and more good results, not just to me, but to everyone.
=)

Favorite Things
First Post
So I decided to start blogging again. Maybe it's because this has been a gloomy week (Chedeng, Manila, in May. Sigh) and a dose of sunshine through writing practically to myself (because I know no one's bored enough to read my posts, hehe) is in order.
I don't know what this blog is going to be out. Hahaha. Everyday Stuff, I guess? Coz what else is there to share, right?
I'm usually not this aimless. I am a planner and a freak at it. But today I guess I just wanna start at being more of a wanderer. Not to come off as purpose-less. But maybe a little more spontaneous.
So, hello (imaginary) reader! err...readers? I hope for 2 things:
1. That I get to post something (whether deep or stupid) every day.
2. That I amuse you to some extent.
