Spring Countdown

Winter is coming to an end. As stated, transition from winter to spring is on March 22. I can feel the sun and the warmth of the it. For some, it is the most beautiful season of the year and I think it is.

It is a beautiful day. Me and my Mom went to near-by market to buy something. Market here is somehow different in the Philippines. There is no such thing as "palengke" literally. Mercato usually occupies part of the street where vendors take advantage of the season transition. They sell winter clothes at a much lower prices. And of course, we bought some. I was able to buy boots, skirts and a long sleeve shirt at the most reasonale price.

One thing more. This was issued march 3, 2009 in the daily giornale here in Milan. Yes, Philippines and it's worst side published. How dare those photographers! There is more that meets the eye in my country other than this. How come they call this photography?

Gay-ish Shots and Plans for the Day

I've got no new news for today. I just found a new application on the web ( too bad it is just a trial version). But hey, enjoy the 31 day free use! Here are the pictures I (and my sibs) got. We are literally gay.

And to sparkle a little bit of sense in this post, here are my to-do list:
1. operation clean the house ( I do it everyday fyi)
2. grocery / market showdown ( with my mom of course)
3. updating my old friendster blog (and my not-so-interesting stories in it)
4. download the latest version of adobe photoshop (just don't know it yet, we'll see)
5. catch up with my lessons (uhmm, study it is? )
6. enhance communication skills (talk with someone who would help me)
7. buy chocolates ( hate it much as I love it)
8. think of my future and my love ( I am doing it everyday)

So, till next post. Woot!

Strong Winds Won't Break the Stronger

Dear PHB,

I woke up a little bit early today. Maybe my body clock changed from waking up 12.00pm to 8.30am. which I think is better. I thought of you today, as always. It has been exactly 61 days since I hugged and kissed you. What troubles me the most is that, for that 61 days, I haven't seen you personally in front of me being with me all day. It isn't an easy situation for everybody to think. No it isn't, indeed.

For the past 15 months that we are together (excluding the 2 1/2 months that I'm here), we've been very happy and contented. I know that this is the relationship everybody is dreaming about, no quarrels and no third parties. It is so nice to know that despite our differences, we jived so well. A lot of people are happy seeing us together, but I know much more are not so. Despite this fact, we still manage to be stronger proving them that they are wrong. That is the nicest thing about us., holding on despite all odds.

I know that in this world, there are no perfect relationships. And I also admit that ours is not perfect but a "real" one. Can you tell? In reality, life has been challenging us on both sides. These are the out-of-our-control circumstances, which I'm praying that will not ruin us (and I believe will never). I'm religiously praying to God that He will strengthen us more. Every night, I ask for God's approval for our plans whether it be for the family, future. short term goals and it feels good. Knowing that despite a lot of people tearing us a part, God is ready to listen. :]

I'm holding on tightly my dear. I'm patiently waiting. And I know that you are doing the same way. See you very soon. I can't wait for that moment that I can be with you again. :]

I love you more than I can tell, and more that words can define. Godbless!

Bacio, Jem.

Responsibility Week

I am on antibiotic therapy today, I mean for the past 3 days now. I've been suffering from cough and a little of colds for the past 1 week and now I think I need to take some action. The weather down here is not that ok. It frequently changes from sunny to rainy but the temperature is still the same. Literally, it bugs much on our health, so precaution is entirely needed.

My Mom was in the hospital for almost 1 week. She isn't that ill but confinement is needed. She experienced blurred vision on her right eye so she freaked out. She visited an out-patient department for an eye check-up, and the diagnosis turned out to be Retinal Thrombosis. It wasn't that serious as per the doctor. But she needs antithrombolytic therapy to refrin it from recurring. Several lab tests are done, and it was also ruled out that she is anemic so she needs additional check-up. After a week of confinement, it turned out really favorable. Thank God she's back to work and kicking.

For the past week, I have learned that I is reallly hard to be a Mom. While she's away, I was the one who cooks, laundrys adn do house hold stuffs. It is not easy that you need to wake up early to cook food, go to the grocery and to clean the house. At least, now I canproudly say that I can somehow managed to be like one. Haha.

15th Month Anniversary

Yes. It is our day. At last we have spend almost 450 days together. Strong and kicking. I haven't been with him for almost 2 months now since we temporarily parted places but o ur hea rts are still one. I miss him so badly and I can't hardly wait to see him again.

I love you so much My Christian Tabora. You are my You. I cannot afford to lose you. :] I kove you more than I can say and much more than you know. See you very soon. :]

Hoping for the Best

I've been watching news in the Philippines lately. I realized that everything is just the same. Old news are just the same news I've heard before I left Philippines last January. Old price hikes, crimes, political issues and drastic economy.. nothing has been changed just the dates and the conflicting degrees. I felt so sad somehow, knowing that no progress still even for just a little. There is nothing to compare between news scaling here in Italy and in the Philippines, knowing that life here is extremely different and organized. How I wish that beyond this down failing economy and lonesome news, people can still manage to have a good livelihood to support themselves especially their family. The problem in our country is that there is so much to do but people with authorities and with power take advantage of what they can get from it. They focus more on their own benefits than what they can do to uplift the country somehow. There is a lot of opportunities for us to grow as Filipinos and as a country only if we unite and think of what we can do as Filipinos. It is nice to be a Filipino and I'm indeed proud to be one. Let us all pray for our country's status and for our countymen's success.

Web Geek Isn't Bad At All

Ciao. Morning today is really, extremely gloomy. For the past 2 days, the sun was really striking. All the while I thought it's gonna be permanent until now. Wasn't able to perform my taebo rituals since I slept super late last night. And as expected, woke up late as well.

I realized lately that I have lots of online accounts. Myspace, Friendster, Facebook, Multiply, Blogger, Deviantart etc. And while I am trying to check my accounts I realized that as early as 2005 I have started to conquer the World Wide Web. That time I was 18 years old. My interest in these kind of obsession came about when we have our free Internet Nav in our Mini Campus (Mamc-Sma, to give such credits, hmm). Since I was stucked being a dormitorian for the rest of my college days, I spend most of my naive time in that Lab. And so on and so forth.

Now, I have realized that I need to take good care of these accounts. Why? Because it is a good thing that when your getting older, you need to have something that you can look into refreshing more of your youthful days. I am not (definitely) saying that I am not that old. Literally I am currently 22 years old. It just so happen that I really smiled when I checked my blog posts, freidnster comments, art works way back. And now I realized that being Web Geek isn't that bad. Hehe.

Taebo On The Go!

Woke up really early today. 7am, o yes. Started my date with a twist. My Mom and I started our Palestra Sessions aka Taebo. We got our help from some videos downloaded by kind people in youtube.com. Oh, yeah, I give credits to them. For the first time in my entire stay here in Italy, this is the first time I sweat. Really. And it feels really good because of the cold weather down here. Im praying that I'll continue what we have started.

Yesterday, My Ian and I had a chat sssion. I really missed him a lot. I can see that he missed me too. How I wish I could see him again.. very soon. Later today, we'll talk again. 101% communication is what we really need for us to grow despite the distance, and I'm enjoying it though it is really depressing.

Later, I'll have my classes again. I studied my lessons past yesterday. And I hope I've got to learn more today. Hopefully, within 2 hours. Say goodluck to me, Adios!

We Are Strong, I know

It's Wednesday today. I woke up super late, 11:30am. After eating my breakfats, I started my plan to read articles in a giornale for at least 2 hours a day to gain more information. I find it very useful, for the first hour or my reading, i learned a lot of words and of course events happening around me.

For lunch, I only ate a bowl of ensalata with fresh apples and 2 chicken wings. I still manage to balance my diet. I really don't wanna get fat. Heheh.

This afternnoon, I'll be heading for school at 5:30pm up to 10:30pm. I'm pretty excited this time since I got more acquaintances compared to last week. I had 3 close friends, all girls from Brazil. I find them really nice as compared to as making friends to my fellow Pilipino. Of course, my Pilipino classmates are also nice but I just don't feel like getting close to them.

Today is February 4, almost a month away from the Philippines... and almost a month too, away from my special someone. I think of him a lot, more than he can imagine. How wish he can manage to wait for me until I finish fixing the documents for my legalization of stay here. But I have his 100% trust that we can still hold on. I love him a lot! And he is so missable.

No Deal to Absences After Yesterday

The days are really boring here. It has been 2 days since it rained snow but up to this moment, traces of it remains on the street making it hard for me to go and attend my classes. Haha, is that good enough to defend my katamaran. Kidding aside, it is February and snow raining doesn't really match. Anyhow, I'm planning to attend my evening class later. Hmm.

I'm currently working on my legalization of stay here. I know it isn't easy for I need to submit such documents making my Mom's pocket even tighter. Life here is not easy as everybody thought it to be. Food is our priority. But I make it a point that if I found items of reasonable prices, I've got to buy them. Hehe. I'm planning to go back to Phils once my multiple entry visa is approved by April. And I can't wait to get back home. I miss the important people there especially my Ian. Yey!

I'm currently cutting off my diet. Yesterday, I wasn't able to eat rice. My weight goes down from 50kg to 48.5kg, and I think I'm pretty happy with that. I'm getting used to eating salads and salami which I think is a lot healthier as compared to as eating junks. One problem I have is my never ending chocolate craving. Everytime I go to the nearby supermarket, I'm attracted to low priced chocolates that I cannot resist but to buy them. And I think, I need to restrained myself to prevent further trouble.

Keep Posted!!

got a new blog post at last!! it hasn't been a busy week for me. i have started my italian classes last week an d so far, i can surely say that it is good. i'm planning to have my blog posted in italian language someday soon. and i'm hoping that for me to accomplish that, is to have a more deticated spirit when it comes to studying. hehe.

today,febraury 2,2009, we are celebrating our 14th month anniversary. this is very significant for me because for the first time we are celebrating this event separately. but i know that the feeling is still constant and nothing has been changed except for the fact that we are far from each other. of course, though we are in this situation, we make it a point that we keep our lines open and active. the conversations that we have over the phone, voice chats and even text messages show that love still surfaces against all odds.

First Aniv

I'm suffering from LSS (Last Song Syndrome)!! All day long, I'm singing When I Grow Up by PCD. I started to miss my gimmick days with my fellas. It has been a long time since I danced on the floor.
It's a wonderful day today, though I'm a lil' bit tired. It's our First Ever Aniverssary. I'm very much overwhelmed because I didn't expect that were able to keep this relationship this long knowing that we both have tight schedules. And of course despite a lot of distractors (Hiast!) Since we were not able go out to celebrate this fantastic day, we have decided to postponed our celebration for this Thursday or Friday, hopefully. I really appreciate the efforts of my boyfriend midnight of December 02, 2008. I received a missed call and a text fromhim telling me that he is downstairs. I was surprised when I went down I saw 1 family size pizza with 2 fancy glass and a bottle of red wine. In short, we had a candle light midnight dinner. How cute!! Since I was so overwhelmed that time, I forgot to take pictures of it. It is a dinner to remember. I thank God for this wonderful gift he gave me. May God bless our relationship more!

Hop Hop!

Good thing, the week is over. it has been a long week for me( a really long week!). Yesterday, I went home late. That's why my boyfriend got really worried. Our boss from Turkey invited us for dinner in Capishe, Metrowalk. It is a fine dining resto, and we had a good freakin' time. Bonding with the office mates with cool music. The food was really good. I have a big appetite for Italian cuisine and I can't get enough of it. In short say, my whole everyday reduction program has been turned 180 degrees.
I fixin' a lot of things lately. I have a tight sked for the next 2 weeks and I don't know where to start. I've been praying that God would grant my request to be with my family. It's been a long time since we've been together. I can still remember last year, my dad was fixin' a lot of documents. And now I'm doing the same thing. And I thank God for those people who support me all the way, Mama Jo and the gang.

The week is almost over, it has gone so fast. I wish I was able to more productive, like a did before. Later tonight, I'm gonna fix my things up. Need to get ready, we'll move to another place. I believe it's a nicer place, i hope so. I am so fed up by the cockroach threats and humid fish-like smell in my old boarding house. I is really annoying. I hope we found a nicer place. :]

I just got from my weekend vacation in cavite (at my tita's house). I stayed there for two days, such a relief from the stressful and toxic city life. When having my vacation, Ian was out for an outing. He along with his highschool fellas went on an adventure somewhere in Laguna (I forgot the exact place). It was kind of a nature trip, with falls, forest and everything. I wasn't able to go with him for I want him to enjoy a the whole outing without me. It's good sometimes, to give a little space. At home, I had a super-unlimited internet access. I was able to browse and surf until 2am. I was able to download and do my all-so-nasty internet routine. It was fine. Because I slept super late, I woke up early. I was awakened by my Tita's voice, she was talking that time with my brothers in Italy. It was such a good night sleep, cold scent of coffee flowers gave me enough relaxation and comfort. :]

I'm In Love

Yes, he keeps me falling in love over and over again. I love to be with him every single hour and day of my life. I'm enjoying the times that we share laughter and moments that i cannot afford to miss out. He is the guy I'm wishing to be with for the rest of my life. I know that I'm still young to say these words, yet, I'm pretty and quite sure that with him, my life could be even more beautiful.

I've known him for quite a long time. I met him 4 years ago, he is not even my close friend or someone I used to hanged out with. We are completely strangers by heart, yet still familiar knowing each other by names since we have the same group ministry and of the same school. All I know by then that he is the "good-ol-so-silent type of guy". We never engaged in small talk neither nor go out with group of friends, not at all. I can still remember that I had a crush on him, secretly.. :] Physically, he is my type.

When I first saw him, he is with somebody. Oh, yes, he is committed during those time. Yet, it really wasn't a big deal for me. I felt happiness for both of them, since, that somebody is also my friend. Whenever I see them together, all I can say is that, they are of perfect match. Until it came to my knowing that they broke up. When that news broke my ears, I didn't feel gladness or any positive thought. It is just that i was shocked knowing the news.

We became friends, very good friends. He knows that I like him and I also know that he feels the same way. In short, our feelings are mutual and it feels so right. We've been text mates at first, yes, this is the starting point as always. I showed him my true personality, I never pretend or do some "hey-i'm-such-a-cutie-patootie type of girl".. We are not constant text mates, since he is such a busy person. What thing I learned about him is that he is a family man, which I liked the most.

Everything's going good, until one rainy morning when I received a text from him. He invited me to have breakfast with him! He fetched me in my boarding house and we chow in cafeteria. That was just the first time we talked and exchanged thoughts. I wasn't comfortable by that time since that was my first time, yet it was the best. Until then, we became constant text mates and we always see each other more often. We became very close to each other until I feel that I really liked him.

December 02, 2007, 8:30pm, that's the official time and date that we started and decided to continue on the first step of our relationship. I never regret that we became close and now even closer. He has thought me everything, things that made me a better me.

I love him. He loves me. And that's the most important thing.

2008. Yes, and after 3 months and 30 days finally I just got in... Blog Updating!

Just to give you some heads-up of what's in and out (literally..), persons got in and out of my life.

Others are expected most are unexpected, but yet, i was able to cope up.

I can say that I'm all productive this time, challenging job, great relationship and nice friends. It's Jam Packed! And I'm so lucky enough that it is turning out in the way that I wanted, more than I really expected. :]

The day is quite boring... I woke up late 10am, ate my breakfast right away and do the internet hopping. :] I don't really know why i get so much pleasure from this non sense thing. But whatever that is, I'm enjoying it. And that really matters. Agree? I'm graving for chocolates! Geezzz, yesterday i bought 4 kinds of chocolate bars!! I'm an addict, i know. :] harhar... I hope i won't get fat. Hindi un bagay sa akin! :] Scary thing! Christmas is coming to it's existence, and I can't feel it! Too bad, I'm spending it without my family. I'm a family bonded buddy, I admit it. Well, I guess I really have to enjoy my Christmas alone, with just my relatives. Thank God for my Mama Jo and company. :] Apir!

Heaven is Here

Gawd! My CCN Training is almost over. Need to finish 1 more exam, finale! :] Wahaha.. I'm thinking of my next plan, hmmm, need to find a job, i need to earn money now! it's about time i think. I got my license, my PRC certificates by December 20 and Training certificate... I uber inspired this past few days. I so happy. :]

December 2 is the date. Very significant. It's the day I finally entrusted my heart, again. I love him, and i mean it. :] I'm so much in love. We jive together, and I think that's pretty important. I trust him and he trusts me. What more can I ask for. May the good Lord bless us. :]
