Books. Movies. Games.
I love this September because of the unexpected two long weekends. I got the chance to catch up on doing stuff that I love doing.1. Went swimming with Mac's officemates - despite the rain and the fight that we had, I still had fun since the most hectic season in my work is almost over.
2. Got hooked again on playing Tomb Raider. The last Tomb Raider: Underworld has been in our computer for a while now and I haven't finished it till now. We didn't have internet for one day so I decided to play it again and now I'm hooked. Although I'm stuck at the moment.
3. Watched In My Life with my office friends and cried buckets!
4. Watched Kimmy Dora with my college friends and laughed so hard!
5. Started playing Scribblenauts in the DS. Although I really am not that creative. But it's a nice game that exercises the creativity.
6. Finished reading Dan Brown's new book "The Lost Symbol". I didn't like it as much as I liked Angels and Demons. I guess because the story centers on American structures and legends. Since I'm not American, I guess I can't relate that much.
It still kept me entertained for one weekend though.
So aside from work, that's what kept me busy for September. Now, I can't wait for October to arrive because in October I have an out of the country trip, I am going to start reading The Time Traveller's Wife and I'm going to finish playing Tomb Raider.

Oktoberfest na naman!
Songs
“There’s always gonna be another mountain, I’m always gonna wanna make it move, Always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes I’m gonna have to lose” – The Climb, Miley CyrusI love the message of this song. Especially since I feel that I’m climbing towards a mountain where every step forward takes me two steps back. It’s been 6 months since I started with my developmental assignment and in those months I’ve been tested, embarrassed and chewed out that I have reached the point where I don’t want to continue on anymore. But I am still here, facing the same battles over and over again, losing everyday yet still climbing on. I just hope that in the end I get to the top because I know that the view is great.
“You’re gonna miss this. You’re gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast. These are some good times, so take a good look around, you may not notice now, but you’re gonna miss this” – You’re Gonna Miss This – Trace Adkins
But at the end of each tiring day there is still a smile in my face. Because even though there are times I get home during the wee hours of the morning, I know that I will wake up to my husband’s hug and the breakfast he brings for me.
I treasure every weekend we spend together whether it be just staying home to watch movies or tv together or go out on a date, these are moments that I am surely going to value.
“There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything, I love you.” - There Goes My Life, Kenny Chesney
And I continue looking forward to the future, standing on top of the mountain that I have conquered, with my husband beside me and hopefully with toddlers running around us.
And I look forward to:
“The first steps when they stumble, first words that they mumble. First ball that they fumble, and they try to hide the tears. Her Cinderella palace, the bike he learns to balance. Take a look around, yeah, right now are the golden years” – Golden Years, Willie Mack

Dreams
I had the weirdest dream.And it felt so real.
I dreamed that my mom was not my biological mother.
I dreamed that my dad had a relationship with a girl from #93 Balete, Quezon City. It is so weird because I can still remember the exact address.
I dreamed how my mom showed me the picture of my biological mother.
I dreamed how it all made sense to me. Of how I had cousins that did not come from any side of the family I knew. Of how it made sense why my mom always favored my brother.
I dreamed that I went and looked at my biological mother’s house with my husband.
I dreamed that I ran when I saw her but I couldn’t leave because there were coconut trees blocking my car’s path.
And then I woke up…
I’ve never had a dream like this in a while. I really believed it...

Planning Season = Busy Season
In my line of work, there is just one season that I really really hate. It's the June - September months because within those months we do our review and planning sessions.We would stay late nights sometimes till the morning just working and working. So I can't wait for October to come.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Harry Potter and the HBP on Saturday. We're watching in the newly opened IMAX cinema in SM North Edsa. It will be Mac's first time to watch in IMAX so I'm really really excited. And I think it will be our first time in SM North Edsa again after several years.

My New Do
I've been thinking of getting curls for a while now. I think this is the influence of all the koreanovelas I've been watching. (hehe).So I finally did it!
Getting it done and praying it turns out well.
I think it turned out nice.
And this is 5 days after I got the curls. Let's see what it will look like after several months.
I love it!

SECRET
I am a closet masochist, not physically but emotionally.People who know me always say that I am strong, emotionless and apathetic. I’ve heard it over and over from the mouths of different people – officemates, acquaintances, friends…
But they know something about me. They don’t know that I cry over commercials, I cry in funny movies, I cry when I see an old couple holding hands, I cry over sad music videos, heck I even cry when I’m driving alone.
And I love to cry. I like the feeling of the burning in my chest, the swollen eyes, the tugging at my heart...
So I watch Korean movies and dramas because they always make me cry. I cry when the characters reach a conflict and I cry tears of joy when they reach their happy ending.
And right now I feel like crying again. Crying tears of joy for all the blessings in my life.
- because my parents are still healthy and with us.
- because of how lucky I am that I have found the perfect husband. Yesterday was our 5th month as a married couple and I haven't found any reason to complain. Other people talk about the adjustment period that newly married couples go through and how hard it is but we didn't have that. Everything since the day that we took our vows have been happy memories where I feel like we were children again playing house.
- because I am blessed with a job where I love the people I work with (well, some of them). A job that pays enough to get me through each day.
- because I have an extended family who are always there to support me whether it be in hard times or good
- because I have friends that keep me grounded and dares me to try new and exciting things
So I cry again. For things that I have been blessed with and things that I still pray for. I bet this crying spell will last until there are no more tears left. I know it's a weird and unhealthy habit but crying helps me release my emotions that I always keep in check when I am with other people.
And someday, I hope, I get over this and learn how not to cry anymore.
