I went to the market this morning to buy crabs for lunch, as well as other things for this weekend's menu. The price per kilo of crabs remained the same, but I was really shocked with how much prices of other stuff shot up! Example, pork alone now costs 180 per kilo. The last time I remembered, it cost around 140. I probably didn't feel the increase whether it was a gradual or drastic one because I usually buy my meat in the grocery and never bothered to check how much. The usual milkfish I buy now costs 90 apiece. And the veggies! Ah, the veggies. Really the prices jumped.
And I thought our economy is getting better...
Anyway, I'll just blog about how we spent Labor Day later. Too tired right now. He he.
My Boss has talked to me over the weekend about my "resignation" plan and after a lot of thinking, I have decided to stay with the company. For some reason, after informing this to the "other side," I really felt good. I felt that a big burden has been taken out from me. I remembered my little sweetcake. I remembered how in love I am with my husband.
The Pres of the other company told me he understood me, but was concerned that this may have an implication on how the management here will see and handle me. I told him that although the management has indicated that they will unconditionally welcome me, it may be true what he said. That though is the risk I have to take, and if ever I made the mistake of letting go of a very good opportunity in favor of staying with what I considered my second family (hahaha), then I would want to learn that myself.
For two days now, the song "Amazed" by Lonestar has been my Last Song Syndrome. It's a simple song with simple lyrics, but for some reason, the whole song just evokes the feeling of being in love. Specifically, it makes me remember how much in love I am with my husband. You know, that overwhelming feeling of love. I just can't explain it. Suddenly, I'm being transported to those moments when Enrique and I are in pure bliss, no worries, no problems, just the two of us passionately in love.
It's very rare that I post lyrics of songs, but I'd make an exception. Even more, here's also a video of that song...
"Baby I'm Amazed By You"
Everytime our eyes meet This feeling inside me Is almost more than I can take Baby when you touch me I can feel how much you love me And it just blows me away I've never been this close to anyone or anything I can hear your thoughts I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin The taste of your kiss The way you whisper in the dark Your hair all around me, baby you surround me You touch every place in my heart Oh, it feels like the first time everytime I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that you do I'm so in love with you It just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Oh, every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you
Wow, this day is surprisingly a light working day here at the office, something that doesn't come too often. I just talked to my colleague and she agreed that it's a little boring today. Maybe because we're looking forward to an exciting weekend, thanks to our company outing? Whatever the reason is, today is really a light day for me. Too light that aside from blogging and chatting during breaks, I had time to indulge on my online guilty pleasures... you know, checking out juicy websites.
1. Brian Gorell Blog - I've been following this blog on and off, but it's just today that I noticed that when you try to access the blog, IE suddenly gives this warning sign that IE cannot find the site and operation is aborted. Hmm... what happened eh? I usually access the site in my phone whenever I stay in our balcony. Oh well, I remembered one comment that suggested downloading the Mozilla Firefox browser in order to open the website. Hahaha.
2. Chikatime.Com - Hmmm... Usually there's always some juicy stuff here but the last post was about Aurora Montano, one of the targets of Brian's blog. Could it be that the two instances are connected? Gash, keep on guessing noh?
3. BryanBoy - Whew... still alive and kicking. Nice to know from this site that Marc by Marc Jacobs store is already open. I would definitely take a trip going there. Hopefully I won't see anything, so I won't buy anything. Duh. Hahaha.
The Not So Guilty Ones...
4. Chuvaness - not really juicy compared to the others, but equally and sometimes even more interesting.
5. TheBagHag - I'm stopping myself from getting green with envy. She has a new Lagon Birkin Bag, among other Hermes things. The pictures of meals she had in her recent trips were very enticing. Wow. Gonna make me some at home.
List the 5 things you want your kids to know before they grow up.
Hmm... should I be serious with my answers? Oh well, here are my answers:
1. Know the 10 Commandments and the 7 Beatitudes. You know, be a good Christian, be a good human being. 2. The Golden Rule by Confucius 3. Love others as I have loved you - Jesus Christ 4. Celebrate life and constantly look for the joy and goodness in living always. 5. Do everything in moderation.
Here are my shallow answers (sorry I can't help it):
1. Learn to dress well, have proper hygiene and body care. No harm in starting young! 2. When you eat, focus on eating. Savor your food. One rason why I don't believe in lunch meetings. That's disrespect for the food you are having. 3. Don't be a drama queen like Mama (me). 4. Know how to cook. Sinigang, Pasta 5. Master 1 alcoholic drink and stick to it, so you won't get drunk. You know what things happen whenever one does!
For so many days I have been stressed here at the office, mainly because of my seemingly unending discussions with my Boss regarding my "resignation."
Today, I took a step back and went on with my normal working day... Working my ass off while checking out cool sites in between as my form of "time-out."
Did my eyes widen like golf balls upon seeing these boots featured by Chuvaness.
I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wished though that I have £395. These Chloe boots are really smashing. Great with leggings, mini skirts, and shorts. Gash I can imagine myself in those boots.
