Kapoy: full version

Where have I been?

I've been sick for almost two weeks now.. Got myself checked yesterday for the second time.. Been x-rayed and had CBC...

Also just got my mind cleared out... not totally though..

I'm in the office right now. My shift starts at 2:30 a.m., so I still have time to share what the heck happened to me..

I had cough, colds, sore throat and fever.. Haven't fully recovered but I need to work.. Been absent for a couple of days.. I hope my boss isn't that mad at me... =(

Where it all began...

As I can remember.. It all started with me being placed in CAP (C* Action Plan) for being unable to shed a minute from my AHT (average handling time) ... please excuse all these call center jargons, whatever..

Hadn't got enough rest because of the hot temperature during noon..

Then I got so anxious with the package that didn't arrive on time, which I still have to go and fetch from the "package company".. grrr...

I was also forced to dance my butt out during an anniversary celebration in the office.. people had a blast.. but I didn't.. I don't dance and most of all I don't to be forced to dance...

Also got paranoia attack... some issues with girls in the office...

And some issues with boys in the office... grrr... I'd love to blurt it all out here but never mind.. PM me if you wanna know... basta! verrrrrrrryy long story... grrr... and naay part na still bugs me...

Then here comes boredom.. so i tripped.. puffed a week-old cigarette which is supposed to be a souvenir..

So.. it started.. the cough... then the colds.. then the sore throat... then the fever... then the tummy aches.. the headaches...

Then... the pang of nostalgia hit me.. really really hard... grrr... Being sick made me miss home really really badly... It made me miss the herbal concoctions that my mom used to brew to help relieve my fever and cough.. Also I missed my sister giving me a massage which always helped me a lot... And mostly.. I missed my beau more.. lying there on my bed.. alone.. was really worst... *sigh* Kinda gotten used to having him beside me during tough times.. especially when I feel ill...

One more week to go and I'll be spending a week at home... I need to survive this...

By the way... Just last night.. I kinda lost myself... really got stressed out... lost my mind... cried the whole evening... cellphone.. some stuff flew anywhere inside the bedroom including medicines... I hate to admit it but I had tantrum attack...

I just miss my loved-ones really really badly...

..oh yeah.. by the way, the doctor told me that if I won't be cured.. This would lead to pneumonia... =((

My beau's sick too...

I just hope everything will be alright...

kapoy

It's sunday evening. I'll be working tonight... *sigh* I'm not burned out but just tired.. I need more sleep.. I need more time with myself.. I need to create scrapbooks.. I need to finish reading the books I've borrowed... I'm kinda exhausted talking to customers who do not know how to listen...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! kapoy...

Adik Mode

Time check. The computer clock says it's already 2:15 P.M. My shift ended at 9:30 A.M. but here I am.. in addict mode.

My partner in lakwatsya is not here.. She is home - in Iligan.. with her family and our friends.. so noone is gonna look for me and somewhat reprimand me (peace Lu..!)

After my shift I did some "work stuff". Waited for my direct supervisor and went directly to the sleeping lounge where I currently am posting this entry.

My hands are kinda stiff with the freezing temperature of the room but I beg not to discontinue with my entry.

Well... as you can see below, I was able to finally post the event we had last RD which I was dying to post since Saturday evening.. But there it is.. finally..

But still continued with the editings but also came across reading my previous posts.. (from the very beginning)... And realized a lot of things... One would be that over the past, I've only posted a few entries in this blog.. And also... I missed to post the follow-up activities with almost half of my total number of entries.. hehehe... hopefully... since I already have this free internet access (almost daily), I think I can hopefully post every event that's happening with me.. But for a change.. I won't promise any.. hehehe... but just keep posted though..

Hmmnn... It's already a Wednesday afternoon.. My back is aching, my tummy is grumbling, and my hands are freezing..

I don't have work tonight since today would be one of my RDs for this week (and next week, I guess..)..

Oh well... my addict mode won't end here though.. I'm still planning to do the laundry and read the books I've just borrowed from an officemate..

"Adik" --- that's what they call me.. so.. here's my post for today.. The adik is still not signing-off though...

tuh-tah for now!

Another Uncaptured Moment

I spent an intoxicating evening last Saturday (11:24:07) at The Outpost.

If you were able to read my previous entries, The Outpost was the bar I've had had a good time at the last time I had my RD (rest day). It actually is an artists' haven here in Cebu. An old house (made during the Spanish era) turned into a cozy place where most of the local and national artists hang-out. Inside you can find a small bar, a stage, tables and chairs, and paintings, guitars, all sorts of installation art hanging on the walls. Outside the house, you'll see the cottages that they've put where people can huddle together. They also placed some torch along the pathway which added to the bewitching feel of the place.

Anyway, going back to event.. last November 23-25, the Cebu Guitar Festival was celebrated at The Outpost.

Well.. good thing it was still mine and Lua's RD.. so the "three little girls"* went there...

We were kinda late when we got there. A few bands have already played and the place was packed the moment we arrived. But good thing that we found a spot just outside the house. We found an empty bench and sat there listening to the music from the inside while looking at the people below.

As usual, we remembered our friends who are way back home when we heard the band playing blues and funky music. And almost drift into the music. However, we were distracted and kinda got some attention there at our spot when an old man (probably a regular) asked to sat beside me. While we were chatting once in a while, and listening to the music, we also watching people's activities in front of us.. which includes a magician who's playing some magic tricks, entertaining those whom he passed by.

Oh well.. his name's Gene.. Not the magician you are thinking.. Not the one with a cape, a long round hat, and a wand.. But a guy in his early 20's.. With glasses and curly hair.. Dark complexioned and dressed like a combination of a goth and punk. Well... he brings with him his deck of cards though..

So there.. we were chatting and listening to band playing when suddenly Mr. Regular (the old man I've just mentioned) barged-in in our conversation. And guess what? He called Gene "the magician" to come over. Well.. that's what happened, Gene came over and showed us his tricks. So we kinda stole everyone's attention in just a snap.

We really wanted to get inside the house and Mr. Regular noticed it so he suggested that we get inside using the back-door.

Oh yeah, we were able to get inside but there were no vacant seats so we just stood there for hours. Ordered some drinks and stood near the bar. But got really crowded in that area so we moved a little to the center. I really didn't notice how long we stood there since I already got lost with the music, especially that it was the BLUES AND JAZZ night.. My hands could not really rest. They envy the keyboardists' hands and drifted away to the memories with my beau's hands.. (... missed those days where we would have our jazz and blues improvisation sessions at home or at our school's Rm. 309 (with the grand piano) )...

Anyway, as I've said.. the music was really intoxicating... at some glimpse, I was shutting my eyes while listening. And I had some kind of a high.. amazing!!

Oh well... just another event we never failed to miss but we failed to capture... again...

Just to inform you guys.. the reason why i don't have a lot of photos here, it is because I don't a have any sort of camera (on a phone, web cam, digital, and even the old kind..)...

Really is frustrating to think that I was unable to capture a lot of moments.. including this... =(

*Originated from Lua. Refers to me, Lua, and Pebble..

Maintenance

This is my after work activity for today. Just doing a little editing with this blog. (=

I know I haven't doing any clean-up or whatsoever.. But here it is anyway...

Just also wanna greet you a Happy Sunday! (=

There are a lot of entries that soon will be posted here. So just keep hopping by. I also have a lot of ideas which I'll hopefully channel out as words..

Well... Ohayoo gozaimasu!

Gotta go home and get some sleep..

Lando

Lando... probably first that I have met of his kind.. strong gust of wind.. rainfall that seemed unending.. that's how they are I guess...

Yesterday, Cebu was under signal number 2 after being hit by the tropical storm, "Lando"...

Unfortunately, with the kind of job that I have, we would still have work not unless the building where we work at would be blown away.. However, good thing that the company that I work for provided buses for employees to ride on to and fro the office.. We also had free meal during last night's shift...

Oh well.. earlier... there were power outages on some parts of the city.. As what we've heard, flights were already being cancelled.. Traffic jammed downtown because of damaged structures and uprooted trees.. haven't seen the actual scene though since I was inside lua's room, safely cuddled to sleep for in the evening there still is work waiting for us... but good thing that Lando already passed by Cebu when we woke up..

Haven't heard about how much damage Lando has brought about here but I guess it's not like what happened to my hometown where until now there is still power and water outage.. The main river overflowed and caused death to some students and the bridge to crack (as what I've heard, that is)...

But I'm just happy that my family is safe however only depending on my brother's cellphone for communication since my parent's phones were out...

Just hoping everything will be alright as the day starts for them tomorrow...

*Sigh* "Si Lando naman talaga oh.."...

"R" Days

Had my rest day last Thursday 9:31 A.M. to Sarturday 9:59 P.M...

For this kind of job the rest days would not really mean that you'd have it on a weekend. And if we say rest day, that would not just mean that I would spend my break sleeping all day. But it would mean having fun at home or somewhere else..

Well.. it was a good thing that last Thursday was our payday. So it meant that I can eat out on a fancy resto and go where I would want to go... (=

I really had fun last Thursday and Friday.. well.. the rest I spent sleeping for energy before work..

Okay.. here's what happened:

SPURRRR-of-the-Moment

Thursday, November 15, 2007

After shift, I had brunch at Starbucks Cafe since my friend Lua is craving for Blackberry Green Tea frap that they have there.. Well I had my Peppermint Mocha frap and Strawberry Bliss Cake... yum! We stayed for an hour or two, eating and chatting (the usual..).. After that, we just went home to dress up. Then went to the mall.. Inside the mall, we stopped by some shops and did some important tasks before we went about strolling.. We visited the art gallery, then some shops whose goodies caught our eyes, then the Fair Trade Center where we bought some of our fetished stuff (earrings and necklaces..)...

We were supposed to meet with some bandmates in the evening because Jagat (the oldest among our bandmates) planned on treating us with Titanic ice-cream at Bigby's.

Jagat did not work that day so he met us on the afternoon and treated us with coffee. They had their usual brewed coffee and I had my usual cup of latte. After some sips and short chat, we continued strolling.

I didn't expect that caffeine would hit me differently that day.. After the stroll, we had dinner but I was already feeling unwell.. I was about to eat dinner when I can see myself being rushed to the hospital emergency room.. I was about to panic..

That was the high I got from the latte that I had. And just to take note I still haven't taken a sleep or even a nap that day. I could feel my body about to collapse and my heart was already palpitating. I tried to sleep at the resto but I cannot shut myself down because of the caffeine.

So I had the quick decision of going home..

I still couldn't sleep when I got home.. So, I tried making myself comfortable by lying on the floor with my back against my bag of laundry which is ready to be shipped to the laundry mat. Oh well.. that did the trick though.. slowly I was feeling really sleeping but a little dizzy... So I transferred to my bed but I fell asleep with a pillow on my back and face.. hehehe...

I missed the ice-cream that night.. hehe.. but at least I was able to get myself home just in time... or else...

Rhasta - Raggae Evening
Friday, November 16, 2007

The second day of the "R Days" is quite different from the "Spur-of-the-Moment Day". It's still fun but we had clean, cheap, and unexpected fun that night. hehehehe....

Well.. after the beauty rest, me and Lua dropped our laundry to the laundry mat then went to the mall to see the Yamaha and Perfect Pitch sponsored band competition which they call "Asian Beat".

The competition was participated by 21 amature bands in Cebu. What they meant for amature was that these bands do not have an existing record contract or has not been able to release a record. The competing bands were to play just one composition with there own choice of genre.

Various genre of music were played on that competition however we didn't actually finished watching the competition..

But instead we went to Ethiopia: Cafe 88. Our favorite cafe. Had a dose of caffeine and nostalgic conversations. (the usual... )

We were to go to The Outpost. It's a local bar where a lot of artist hang out.. (= But before that, we passed by the boarding house to drop some stuff and invited some friends but only Pebble was able to come with us. (=

There was some kinda gig there and we just really went to watch some of our bandmates tap their djembes. We never expected that celebrities and cool bands would be there.

Just our luck I guess.. And I know I'm always loss with words when I am overwhelmed. But anyway here's what happened:

+ Arrived at The Outpost. Felt kinda out of place coz the place was really packed.

+ We registered. Because we were asked to do so. And it's with no fee anyway.

+ Ishtamaya told us that Lourd de Veyra was there. We were excited and got flustered by the sight of him. And Tado (the comedian you see on T.V.. the one with big eye glasses and long hair) was also there.

+ Went inside the bar and got ourselves some seats.

+ Watched the video clips that were shown.

+ Ordered (iced-tea, four seasons, pineapple juice and Calamares.

+ Listened and sang along with the bands play ska, roots and raggae. Well... they are Island Joe, Skunky Muggles and Jr. Kilat..

+ There was technical issues with the microphone so the last band was not able to play their supposed to be last song which left the people hanging for more music.

+ Nataraj and Pradiip were tapping there djembes. Did not stop until we were able to form a big circle inside the place. Other musicians got their instruments and played with the beat. Lua and I were taking turns with the egg shaker. (.. I was tapping the table and my lap most of the time though)... hehehe..

+ People start dancing inside the circle that we made. We were asked to dance too but only Pebble lasted long on the dancefloor. hehe..

+ Twas already 4 a.m. and the bar was closing. Everyone packed and went home. Others stayed and still had a chat with other musicians.

+ We decided to feed ourselves and went to a nearby tapsilogan. I was sleeping while every had their share of tapsilog.

+ We said our goodbyes and went home.

+ Slept until Saturday noon. (=

I missed telling you the crunchy parts though.. hehehe.. just give bits about it:

* Tado offered to buy me a drink but I turned him down politely.
* Lourd de Veyra passed us by a lot of times. Though we never got the courage to chat with him or even ask for an autograph.
* Island Joe's really great. Their bassist was also cute whom my friends fancied.
* Pebble danced with Island Joe's males vocalist. (amazing!)
* A photographer took a picture of us. hehehe..

The three little girls and the big bad wolf.

Oh well... that was our Rest Day... And next week's RD would be... hmmmn... guitar festival... and karaoke... hmmnn... we doon't know what fun lies ahead..

Enjoy your weekends too guys! Or shall I say, your RDs!!

Not Too Late

Tell me how you've been,

Tell what you've seen,

Tell me that you'd like to see me too.

'cause my heart is full of no blood,

My cup is full of no love,

Couldn't take another sip even if I wanted.

But it's not too late,

Not too late for love.

My lungs are out of air,

Yours are holding smoke,

And it's been like that now for so long.

I've seen people try to change,

And I know it isn't easy,

But nothin' worth the time never really is.

And it's not too late,

It's not too late for love,

For love,

For love,

For love.

This is the song that's poppin inside my head every now and then... =) A song by Norah Jones in her 3rd album (Not Too Late)...

Sailing

It's been ages since the last the last time I have posted something here...

A lot of changes has occured in my life.. in my perspective about life.. and everything about me..

I have realized that it's time for me to sail again. I am not the bitter person that I had become for the last two months. And not the lazy brat who just sleep and eat anymore. And most of all, I am not the person who'll just sit there and listen and do what people tell me they think I should do.

For the past 2 months I have felt how to be numb but become stronger and contented in what life has brought me. Though, that is not that easy for me at the very start.. And right now I still wouldn't know what I would feel and become if I'd ever lose something really precious the next time around..

But here I am.. Sailing.. in calmer waters I guess...

Yes.. me and my beau broke up but we got back together after 2 months... (well.. that was last week to be exact.. hehhehe) And now I am so happy... and thankful that everyone is happy for both of us..

This happy state won't last long until both of us will be able to keep things goin' or rather choose to keep things goin'... Being back together is not the end.. I know both of us would be needing a little more patience and courage with this new beginning... (=

Well.. Everything doesn't exist with that area of my life though... regarding work, I'll be regularized this month and I'll then be in for more challenges and oportunities..

Regarding my family... I'm still hoping to see them soon... But I am more than happy to help them as always... (=

...And lastly... I have learned a lot about passion and friendship...

I have established new relationships with this new world that I am in.. I so glad that I am learning to trust other people again...

And of course I have learned about artists' passion in everything that they do.. how amazing that "passion" is...

Well... I guess to sum everything up... I learned about VALUES... about "values" itself.. value-ing what you have and what is given to you.. value-ing the people that you care about and cared so much about you too....

love y'all!!!
peace out! til my next post!!!

(=

Quickie

This is just a quickie..! oh no! Not that kind huh..! hehehe!

I was forced to go home from work.. anyway, I just miss this place.. hope to bring a lot of changes here..

Just keep posted guys... The wake is done... I'm finished mourning... Well.. still unsure of some things.. of myself.. i guess.. but I'll be posting some stuff here....

Things are fast changing.. Time's running fast.. so.. keep on dropping by here...

I still miss a lot of stuff... loved-ones.. family and friends... and home.. of course....

I'm almost getting the hang of my job and this new life I am having...

Well.. this is the quickie! Just dropped by to say "HI!!"...

Like We Never Loved At All

You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath the city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through meBut
I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life

[Chorus:]
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your wayOf dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

You, I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is?
To letting go, letting go like you did, like you did

[Chorus]

Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion?
Did you ever miss me
Ever long to kiss me?

Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

You, you never looked so good

by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

Sailing = Drifting

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain

Everything is getting into my nerves... I don't know what or how to feel.. It was just yesterday that I was so happy... Now, I have met new friends I have new opportunities and it's just now that fate turned it's back from me! To hell with everything!

I want to understand but I cannot.. I want to.. I tried to.. but.. I cannot...

I cannot fathom this sudden turn of events...

The saying above used to be a description of this blog... I just changed my mind.. I don't wanna use it anymore... Because it's driving me crazy...

I don't know how everything turned out into this messy situation... I just sailed... But now I am drifting away from everything...

...

And I just thought this curse was already broken...

...

It's starting all over again...

..

..

I just hope this won't kill me...

Damn!

Fun Freebie!

Living away from home and most especially in an urban an urban place made it clear to me that there is no such thing as a freebie.. Everything you want to have and do, you have to work for it..

I guess that's reality. And it sucks!

My life isn't like the way it is way back home. Here I have no computer, no t.v., free shelter, and no free food..

It's also no place to be such a couch potato...

Anyway, I'm getting the hang of it. But still, I am trying to adapt to this new way of living, especially living with friends. And hopefully trying to gain control of myself especially after and during payday, because I (or we) tend to splurge our money unwisely.

I recieved my scond pay last June 15 and unfeortunately, my money didn't last that long. My money disappeared into thin air a week before my next payday. Not to mention, my housemates also have the same situation as I do.

Last weekend was supposed to be my (or our) most boring weekend ever here in the big city because me and my housemates were penniless.. But what happened was the opposite..

Fortunately last saturday, was the last day of the French Film Festival. Me and some friends went there to see the movies because as we've heard it's for free. Haha! You've heard that right! And it was totally worth it! We've watched two films in a row. The second movie was really awesome!

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS FILM..

THE PERFUME: A STORY OF A MURDERER

I'm sorry but I just won't talk about the details of the movie. Just watch it yourself... You won't regret it...

It was really nice being in that theater because you're people who know how to appreciate good films.. After the movie, everyone was really clapping their hands.. Anyway, it was already late when we got home... and it was raining... But it was really a new and nice experience for us..


And on sunday, still everyne was penniless.. We spent the day chatting. And as usual, we got together during brunch...

It was already late in the afternoon when we had our meal.. And during our meal, we got ourselves talking about our childhood and the games that we used to play.

After clearing the table, we found ourselves playing "sagudsud". It was really tough for us since it is played through skipping. You have to skip your way, hitting your "pamato" (a stone) all thrioughout the play area..
Well.. it was fun! We didn't only relive our childhood days but also gave ourselves an exercise..

After playing "sagudsud", we played card games.. They're "tong-its", "chiki-cha", "1-2-3-4 pass", "karga burot", and "unggoy-unggoy"..

I don't know. But it really was the best weekend I ever had here in Cebu.. It's a lot more fun than hanging out at bars.. And what's more, is it's for free!

And well, at least.. it still is reality that money can't buy happiness... *winks*

Whoa?!

Hehehe.. Just across the street from this Korean-owned cafe is Biopath Diagnostics.. It is where employees of the company where I am gonna in have their medical examination.. yeah, right! I just passed the interview, the practical and written exams and have already signed the contract... (=

I'm hopefully waiting for the result of my medical exam so that I can start working on May 10.. hehehe!!

Anyway, I just came from the clinic.. and haha! guess what? err.. I just submitted my stool sample... (yaaaaak!!!) hahaha...

It really is a new experience.. But I don't want to ever do it again... hahahaha.

Well... Yesterday, I had my urine checked (and guess what?!?)... I have to fill one bottle with urine.. Oh my... And.. huhuhu... the doctor checked my breast.. I guess for some lumps.. ummm... she saw my bare breasts! huhuhu.. good thing the doctor was female...

...After my medical exam yesterday, I went to a net cafe just near where I live.. It's still a Korean-owned cafe.. The people sitting next to me are foreigners.. hahaha! Ako lang ang yagit ug dagway... hahaha...

While at the cafe, the male foreigner (I guess Italian) asked me who the artist of the novelty song "Otso-Osto" is... nyahahahaha!!! He told me they wanted to download the song... I was really laughing out loud deep inside.. waahahahaha!!

Yesterday at Daum Internet Cafe and Resto Bar, behind is the Korean owner

Guys, You've Got to Read This!!!

Hi guys! I have just recovered from my fever yesterday afternoon and now I'm spending the night at my beau's office/apartment to do some school stuff. I just grabbed this opportunity to post an entry here.. Actually I'm still not happy with whatever I've done with my blog.. I'll still have to look for my shout box and all others.. huhuhu...

Anyway, as I was surfing the net just now.. I came to this site and happily searched for the meaning of the Japanese word "kawaii", though I know what it means, then came to this word... WAPANESE... So, curious of what the word means.. Haahaaha... you better read this:

1.	Wapanese	2321 up, 1028 down
	“Wapanese” are decidedly caucasian individuals who, by means of thoroughly warped postmodern acculturation processes, have come to the decision that it is in their best interest to act as if they were denizens of the nation of Japan. The term “wapanese” can be accurately though of as an analog to wigger. A whitey can be classified as a “Wapanese” if they are in possession of two or more of the following defining traits: 1. Has an unhealthy obsession with shallow, saccharine and intellectually insulting animation shows (also refered to as anime by the nerd elite) originally tailored for young Japanese children 2. Operates under the erroneous belief that every aspect of American culture is vastly inferior to that of Japan’s – even though 99.9% of Wapanese have never had firsthand experience of any sort with their preferred culture (in other words, they’ve never set so much as one foot upon the island(s) of Japan) 3. Halfheartedly studies Japanese language and/or is a part-time practitioner of martial arts 4. Has a sword (samurai swords only, of course) collection 5. Is a Virgin 6. May be afflicted with a terminal case of yellow fever; however, they constantly fail in their quest for Japanese pootytang 7. Extreme cases may traipse around whilst wearing a “costume” that makes them resemble their favorite anime characters (this practice is reffered to as cosplay; cross-dressing and raging homosexuality is not an uncommon component of cosplay. Interestingly, Wapanese are generally though of as “failures” and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists such as myself speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white geek to seek out Japan’s culture as a surrogate; however, they’d be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat racist Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture. Wapanese munch on imported Pocky and wash it down with a bottle of Pocari Sweat. by Dolphin_X Apr 4, 2003 email it permalink: del.icio.us Send to a friend your email: their email: send me the word of the day (it's free)

Quite A While

It's been a while since I've last posted here... a lot of crazy things have happened and I just don't like to talk about them anymore... sorry for not keeping you up to date friends...

Anyway... I'm at "the apartment" right now... We've just arrived from Dzyr.. (we play there every Friday, please do come by when you have time)..

Actually.. it's me and my kodomo's third anniversary.. hehe... it's been really a while... we had no major celebration since we had no money and we also have classes and some school requirements to submit...

But i guess... it's the thought that we reached this far with our relationship's what's making me happy...
well... there were a lot of happy times... fun-filled adventures as i'll call it... but there were also those.. you know na... hehehe...

basta! I'm happy... He's happy... We're happy... I also hope you're happy for us...

It's been really quite a while and now we'll be facing new struggles as individuals and as couples...
