Mrs. Brightside

It's funny how some people can consume so much of you. You start the day right, all bright and sunshiny. And then something happens which turns everything into disarray. You start out angry and raring to take revenge and fight back. Then you begin to doubt yourself. Until finally, you get tired. You lose all of your energy. You just want to go home. Stay in bed and in the comforting arms of your husband. With no care in the world. It's tiring to go through this often. It stresses you out then it leaves you worn out. And in all likelihood, it did not affect the "evil" party one bit. So you lose. And soon, you'll find yourself literally and figuratively sick and tired of the whole thing. I'm often faulted for yearning for perfection. I would admit that yes, to a certain extent, I long for perfection. I want things to go as planned. And sometimes, it breaks me when they don't. But don't worry. I don't dwell on things so I'm not susceptible to ...

I've been sickly lately. I have not been updating this blog. I've been feeling bleak, sluggish, lazy, and all other negative adjectives you can insert here. Finally, I've got something nice to write about. Tonight, my husband, sister, and I are going to Hong Kong. I am so excited. I was there 12 years ago and I'm sure a lot has changed since then. At that time, we traveled with my parents. We had a number of kababayans who gladly volunteered to be our tour guide. This time, only my siblings and I are going there. Everything was planned by my hardworking brother. We're staying there until Tuesday. Hopefully, my blog entry will be ready by October. =) *picture courtesy of http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/5_5_1.asp

I'm staying home today due to the inclement weather. I actually woke up early, ate my breakfast, slept some more, took a bath, dressed up, drove to work, er, to the first Ayala gate actually. It rained so hard I decided to turn back. I didn't want to risk being stalled in some unfamiliar place due to the flood. So I went home. :) I've been feeling kinda emotional the past few days. I'm having bouts of envy, jealousy, insecurity, etc. But I'm feeling better now. To avoid these negative vibes, I'll try my best to write about something/someone that makes me happy everyday. Since this is my first post, allow me to write more than one: I'm happy everytime we have the morning meeting at work because that means I've been in the office for an hour and I only have 8 hours left before I go home. I'm happy when it's lunch time because half the day's over. I'm happy when it's 5:30 because that means in an hour so, I'm about to see my h...

I will not elaborate on why I'm starting this blog. You can just check my profile to know that information. But I'll start off with an entry that prompted the creation of this blog. Yesterday, May 20, Friday, my husband had our old but very reliable Toyota checked by the mechanic. The car made weird sounds once in a while. We also experienced an overheat last Sunday. Anyway, the car was underwent a tune-up. The mechanic also found out that the shock absorbers were totally destroyed. Some other parts were changed. The car was returned to us at around 8 p.m. We headed home (home is down South) at around 8:30 p.m. Before we even got out of the subdivision where we had the car fixed, my husband noticed that the car made weird vibrations. So we turned back and returned to the mechanic. The mechanics discovered that the spark plug cables could not stand the heat from the exhaust, thus, they melted. They changed the cables around three times and they test drived the car thrice too...
