on running, 2008, meeting high school friends and the list goes on…

i am  so glad that i was introduced to running this year  if it weren’t for my friend bulak i would never really know how to “jog properly”.  i am so happy…?  i think happy is an understatement…  basta mixed emotions - i cant believe that i was able to finish my first ever 4k run this morning…  when i quit the “corporate” world last year - it has been my routine to bring my daughter to school.  and instead of chitchatting for three gruesome hours i thought of things on how to maximize my time.  initially, i would go to SC - go online for about an hour then go to the chucrch.  but then, i finally gave up because i don’t know what to do anymore - meaning which website to visit, whose blog to read, whose photo to comment to and what not…  

and so, jen introduced me to running.  i was elated when i finally learned the proper way of running.  dati kasi ang lakas lakas ng bagsak ng paa ko sa tinatakbuhan ko.  para akong nagmamarathon palagi na hindi ko maintindihan, pero it’ll last for mga 30 seconds lang.  and so everything evolved.  it started sa pa-isa isang round sa acad oval (NO STOPPING) at kanina nga, na-break ko na ang record ko!  natutuwa kang ako…  i haven’t been myself in 4 years…  i have been complaining for 4 years… 

i have been stuck in so many other things…  trabaho, pag-ibig, college life, financial freedom at kung ano pa.  pero kanina parang kanina - all of my apprehensions about life were washed away. it made me feel that 2008 is indeed a fruitful year.  the first quarter was tough.  really tough.  i made a big switch from getting an amount that would certainly put food on the table for a family of 4 to nothing…  as in wala.  

look.  i had to put this blog into my “to be posted” list.  apparently, when i decided to finish this entry parang wala ng coherence yung thoughts ko.  anyway.  Salamat po Lord.

and so there’s a semi-proposal

:)

we went to John’s (Gamma Ep) wedding last friday.  traffic was terrible - gruesome 3 hours.  it was an intimate one with less than a hundred people in the reception.  somehow nakakahawa siguro ang mga pag-attend attend ng mga kasal…  he initially asked for marriage nung mga 2 buwan pa lang kami.  fine - i got kilig and all.  you know, realizing that despite all of my misadventures in life, how loooooud i could get at times, how i cunt people at times, how i say bad words more often than he does…  and the list goes on…  there is this one freaking man asking to spend the rest of his life with me.  and so a year and a half have passed - at ayun nga umattend kami ng kasal.  after the wedding bigla na lang nyang sinabi na  –  “ay oo nga pala, sa kasal natin naisip ko ang theme ay outdoor.”  “para siguro hindi na mahirapan ang mga bisita natin.” and i was like “oo nga, kesa mag gown gown pa - hassle” and then he said “siguro maganda isabay na natin siya sa convention natin next year…”

edi naloka ako….  “huh, next year na???!!!”  “sa mayo na?”  ”sigurado ka ba”

azman: “oo”

me:  “teka nga muna, nagpopropose ka ba?”

azman:  “oo, medyo…”

me:  “ayus-ayusin mo naman para kiligin ako!”

azman:  “eh kinikiliga ka na nga eh!”

than you lord for giving me my companion…  my travel buddy…  my chippy.
