Oh my God!!! My boyf tagged me in a post that really shocked me. Apparently, ex-Bamboo members have regrouped, minus front man Bamboo Mañalac.
The former Bamboo members now call themselves Hijo. I know you are wondering who the new front man is... hmmm honestly, I didn't really see this coming. Nathan Azarcon, who is still on bass is the new vocalist. Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado resume their usual posts. They added two new members Junji Lerma on guitar and Jay-O Orduna on keyboards.
I knew it! The disbandment had something to do with Bamboo the vocalist. What do you think?
Cebu is just perfect! Every time you feel like hitting the beach or pool, regardless of the weather, you don't have to go far.
My good friend Yowh celebrated her birthday yesterday at Costa Bella Resort in Mactan. The weather was to cooperative. It wasn't super hot during the day and it was cool in the evening. Everything was perfect. Til next time guys! :D
This week has been hell for this certain person because she has been very insensitive to the point that she was taking someone for granted. It's just that she is engulfed with so many things, she wasn't aware that this someone, who has been there for her through all the negative circumstances, making her laugh and trying his very best to make her feel okay, was feeling neglected.
This certain person had to learn it the hard way.
It all started with a seemingly harmless argument. The certain person realized too late that it wasn't harmless at all. He has been hurt after she got irritated with a very nonsense whatchamacallit. It was a shallow thing but it was a big deal to him. He didn't deserve it at all. She was so confused why it was such a big deal. They seldom argue and she just lost her temper. Was there a need to overreact?
As it turned out, the overreaction stemmed from something deeper. Someone felt that this certain person has been unhappy with him. She easily got irritated and she was withdrawn. He tried to ignore the signs and was extra understanding. He probably was at the end of his rope.
Did she come clean that it was her fault? Yes. Did he admit he overreact? He did.
You all would think that it will all be okay after the admissions. Well, the solution that the couple who has been together for almost six years resorted to is a week-long hiatus. They decided to give each other some space, hoping that the next time they see each other, everything will be back to normal. Or that maybe their relationship will be stronger. The last time they did this was about three years ago and it worked pretty well. This isn't a breakup or a cool off. It's just a breather that (I think) all couples need.
This is certainly different from plainly being apart; the couple has been apart longer than two months. They each go out with their friends when they want to; neither one of them is clingy. It hasn't been easy for her because she questions it truly is the solution and she fears if it will really be okay in the end. Will this make the heart go fonder or will this make him realize he is better off without her? She will find out soon.
No relationship is ever perfect. Love needs rekindling in order for the couple to grow together. Each person needs space from time to time to grow individually. This isn't a sign of weakness, rather it is a sign of strength that they trust each other.
A certain person says she's sorry. She can't wait to see him tomorrow. :D
The absenty blogger is back! I miss writing about my life but there seem to be a lot of things that I couldn't (shouldn't) share here. I mean, it's too complicated and personal. I also couldn't find the right words to express how I feel. :(
I have been through a lot this year... well lately. The lady who seldom cries has been shedding a lot of tears. I wish I would be alright soon. I am definitely trying to be strong. I always say that my life is quite normal, too normal. My experiences are so typical, not that challenging. I guess you do have to be careful what you wish for. The once normal life has become one roller coaster ride. Since I love riding the roller coaster, I'll try to enjoy it! hahaha :D
I choose to put include this photo in this post because I love sunrises and sunsets. They are always comforting. My boyf and I were on our way home when I saw this. It's a lovely sight and I really felt relaxed after seeing it.
My last post seemed so negative, so I'll try to redeem myself this time. I was lucky to be able to tag along with my aunt, her officemates and my cousin Iya to their trip to Bangkok, Thailand last March 16-20 for free! Yep, I was a free-loader the whole time! I am so thankful for the generosity of my Tita Liza. I couldn't really afford that trip with my own money, considering that I just got regularized and there are a lot of expenses at home. This was actually my second trip to Bangkok but the experience was totally different. During our first trip, instead of Tita Liza's officemates, my family was with us. Instead of riding a private van and taxi, we went around Bangkok through the train this time.
The three-hour flight was worth it because of PAL's delicious dinner. What a great way to start the trip, never mind that it was delayed. haha When we arrived, the very cold weather greeted us. It was like we were in a different country, not the tropical Thailand.
I really love Thai food and how they prepare it with speed. Thinking about it now makes me really hungry. More on my Bangkok trip soon!
The television and networking sites have been flooded with news about the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan and along the Pacific. My prayers are with all the victims and I really hope there won't be other negative happenings anymore. A lot of people have already suffered and died.
Japan is far and the Phippines has been spared from nature's wrath, but it feels like I have been experiencing earthquakes and aftershocks in my personal life. I have to say that the world hasn't been kind to me lately. I've been showing a brave face; I don't want people to worry about me. There are more important people/things/events to worry about. I thank all my loved ones for their constant care and support. It means so much to me. It has been very hard and I'm not really sure how to deal with it or express it.
I haven't been myself in the last few days. I've been forgetful, absent-minded and withdrawn. Stress has really taken its toll and I think I'm about to crack. It's extra difficult to sleep and I drown my piling problems with food.
Most of you know me as someone who expresses her thoughts when she is happy or angry, but when it comes to sadness, I become mute. I seldom cry or express my emotion and I don't even know why. Only a few people know what I'm going through right now. Those who are clueless would not probably notice anything wrong because I don't want them to see I'm down in the mouth. I'm not really doing this on purpose; this may be just how I deal with it.
I'm honestly trying my best to be okay. I don't question God about what's happening, instead I lean on Him that He will make everything alright. I'm currently hurting but my faith is unshaken. No earthquake will ever succeed in stealing it from me.
Upon my insistence, Marvi and I visited our Pitt bull Nitro (I call him Neetro) today at the vet. He had been admitted since last Sunday because he refused to eat and he looked weak. We also noticed that his balls were enlarged. He wasn't the usual jolly dog who always howls for attention.
When I arrived, I noticed Neetro lost weight. He didn't respond right away when I called him. After seeing me, he immediately stood up and wiggled his tail. He was so happy to see me! Boyf was also able to touch him as well because he was in a different environment. Men couldn't come near Neetro when he is at home because of his guarding and territorial instincts. The vet and his assistant commented that Neetro is such a good boy despite his scary appearance! haha Aww I missed this large dog.
The veterinarian informed me that Neetro had an infection, which caused him to be weak, and his blood pressure is low. Regarding his inflamed balls, the vet said we can continue his meds and observe him at home. We just have to bring him back after a week. If there are no changes, he has to undergo tests and see if he has a tumor. We are hoping that if he does have a tumor, it will only be his balls and not on other body parts. The best solution for that is getting him neutered, which is a very common procedure.
I just hope our Neetro is okay. I think he's already eight years old but we don't want to say good bye to him yet.
