Drop work,and...

This kind of morning!Yes,the perks of being a probinsyana in its finest sense.Fresh air,no alarm clock snoozing but you wake up gazing  this serene view outside.annnngsaraaap sa feeling,napakapeaceful!I forget all the stress brought by being a laboratory slave.I feel 10years younger :)

 Sometimes it feels good to forget being a kick-ass laboratory professional,get loose and find time to be a granddaughter, ,a cousin,a sister, and a daughter to your parents.Nothing beats the happiness when I'm with my family.I am a family person,and i miss ordinary days at home.Playing badminton with the kids,movie marathon with my ading,camera whoring with my cousins,storytelling with my youngest bebe,daydreaming with mama and papa and catching up with my mommy(lola).I must say this,nothing beats my mama and papa's lutong bahay.And mommy's new recipe!Time flies really really fast and you have to find time to spend some quality-time with them.Life won't stop spinning for you.

So,find time to be happy.

I just did! 

...drop work,travel the extra miles
and don't forget to kiss your
mama and papa.

What makes it really special?

First.

Last saturday marks another "first in my life". FIRST  HEARTBEAT-SKIPPING SURPRISE .
Im on my 16hrs-usually toxic saturday duty,while everyone's busy cheering after UST-DLSU  game, Ate Mafe calls my attention.Being that paranoid, I thought somebody's complaining.Puzzled.But way to find out,the patient I thought to be complaining is a man with a bouquet of white roses and three bottles of sweet nutella.Dumbfounded.Mark,my 6-year boyfriend arranged a surprise for me through his friend abroad.I really can't put my emotions through words.The sweetest words to describe the feeling  is an understatement.

What makes it really special?

✔Mark once told me,don't expect me to give you a bouquet of flowers with the typical and unreasonable, kasi ang "corny" and "hindi ka mabubusog diyan" or "malalanta din yan" everytime I giggle over beautiful bouquet stalls at the mall..He is simply not that type who will surprise you with beautiful bouquets.That's why I  NEVER EXPECT IT.He'll choose a necklace,a ring,bag,watch or cash(haha!), treat you on a moviedate and have a happy tummy.But look,he's giving me one, for the first time!

✔The first time I received flowers from him is our first valentine day together (way back 2008,valentine booths at SLU) and the funny thing is,pinilit ko pa siya.(hahaha!)
✔Just an ordinary saturday.Not our anniversay,not even our monthsary,nor valentine.Neither my birthday.But he turns my ordinary Saturday extraordinary.
 ✔Not the ordinary chocolates im craving after: but 3 bottles of my favorite NUTELLA.
 ✔He hates surprises.I rarely experience surprises from him.For almost 7 years,this is the first heart-melting one. :)

 * Not the sweet type of a boyfriend.But he is really a one of a kind.Bad boy vibe yet surprisingly sweet.

I feel elated knowing that there is this one person who is crazy enough to find ways just to make you feel really special even across a thousand miles;making an ordinary day extraordinary.With him,its really different.And still, for all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we’re getting stronger as years passed by. That someone like me could find someone like him - it renders me wordless.

Thank you,mahal.I love you beyond words, Mark!And i miss you sooo much :*

Life's cliche

As the heavy rains pour outside,i hear options pit-patting over my head.Been quite sometime being bothered by grown-up things.And my only escape is to write...

Today the cliche,"When it rains, it pours." holds true to me.Mostly double-edged sword kind of options pouring down on my rooftop.Laboratory being my second home.And my closest friends around were my  co-staff.I hate to admit that those who are my kind of crazy bunch were down on resigning.On the finer note,they are those who are big- opportunity-grabbers!

And those grabber Im talking were my seniors.Someone I can ask a complicated question but throws you one simple answer.They are those I looked up to with my brain-draining and where common-sense- is- a must kind of profession.Til one day, you became the senior they used to be.You are responsible for every decision-making .And push yourself more to be a lot more mature and accountable. And a training in Microbiology comes into the picture and probably be the officer-in charge of the section.I feel a bit scary.Then the second thought of putting down my cards on November to spend quality time with loves on December  pulling me on the other side..While waiting for my HAAD license/application abroad on process, the 3rd option pops out : To work back at Baguio and spend more time with my family.

For now..while the heavy rains drowning my confused mind..
As vagueness drift me with the light mood of acoustics..
I will wait...like an anemone attach itself to the hermit crab's shell and go wherever the crab goes...
And enjoy the rain..
Til november ends,I wish to come back..
Comeback with a DECISION.
:)

76th

I used to constantly look for people to replace you. Someone to talk to everyday, someone to trust, someone to believe in, someone to love, someone to have the time of my life with. I stopped though. I learned some people really can’t be replaced.Just because even how far we may be apart,i love you a bit more everyday! stronger 76th!

Slowing down:hello october!

That sweet taste of slowing down..I miss this!Just came home from an afternoon walk to the nearest mall from my place while drizzles of rain pouring down on my bluegreen umbrella.Left my phone at home and slipped away my watch..Yes,to get loose of time and it makes me a little carefree.Been really preoccupied by the rush&buzz of my job.I just want to take a break even with just an hour or two,look around and slow down.I love doing this,like watching life in slo-mo.

I passed by a kid as he grips tightly  his mom's hand.
(and in a flick of a second reminds me my naive childhood days where everthing's too simple)
...A couple  who hold hands and forget the rest of the world around them.
(i miss someone who made me forget the world when he is around)
...Group of friends who tease each other and laugh their hearts out.
(Today,one of my closest friends, follows her dream abroad.And this one makes me remember our choco mucho- library days)
 ...A guy in scrub suit who seems to be rushing on his way to work
( Stirs up my stressfuldays at work.oh never mind for a minute,please!)
A group of college students giggling over pocket books on the shelf.
(I overheard them.. for bookreport purposes..oh college days!)
A guy who picks the book next to the book I pick.
( I'm pretty surprise guys like him exists.)*smile*

 And the rest of 2 billion people who seems to be awfully busy with bits and pieces of life!

And there I go, Im down on my bed with a book till I drop to sleep.DIVERGENT for October!
Thank God for life's simple pleasures.Life's better when you slow down once in awhile!Goodnight!

*sweet smile*
