Friendship Blooms in the Most Unexpected Places

It's funny how friendship blooms in the most unexpected time, place and circumstance.

I never expected to know you like I do now. Never expected a friendship to form. The world dictated we could never be friends. But true enough, friendship can never be contained by the rules of the world.

I am much older than you are and yet when I am with you I feel younger. Heck, your level of maturity even exceeds mine. LOL! You taught me so much, teaching me that first impression don't always last. I have come to know you as a person, maybe not inside out yet, but that is something I look forward to.

A, thank you for your support and understanding. For being there when I needed you. Thank you for the laughter - it takes away my stress. And for so many other things, thank you.

I look forward to knowing you more and learning more from you. I hope in my own little way, I can give something back. Here's to more years of friendship! :)

Safety Today

It's a really scary world out there. The news has accidents all over it and time after time, I have always feared for me and my family's safety. You will never know when and how. So it's really very important to be alert and safe.

It's really a great thing that our company has insurance plans for their employees. This is one benefit I am thankful for and it made me realize how important insurance plans are in this life.

Which got me thinking of getting my family insurance plans. This would really help them. I am going to ask around for a reliable insurance agency with wonderful insurance rates.

Any suggestions?

A Decade of a Post - in other words a long read lol!

I had a nice weekend. Saturday was spent resting as I wasn't feeling very well. Probably due to the stress from work. The husband was as his usual patient self letting me sleep in and get some strength.

Sunday was our 10th anniversary so we had lunch in Trinoma. I know it sounds too boring but aside from the fact that we were on a budget, I wasn't feeling well enough to go some place far. Besides, what mattered most was spending time with the husband ;)

After lunch we had venezuela milk chocolate at Max Brenner's and may I just say that I've fallen in love? It was soo delicious, worth every cent! We were supposed to watch a movie but nothing nice was showing so we went around the mall to shop. I bought the husband a pair of jeans and a shirt to complement it. Seeing as I had no time to buy a gift, we bought it together instead. Sheesh! We both are crap when it comes to preparing surprises lol!

I just can't believe we've been together for 10 years. How time flies! It seems like yesterday when we met over a friends house. Well, it was more of like my ex boyfriends house lol!

The husband was actually part of a group of friends. No, not my ex boyfriend's group but his elder brothers'. His elder brother asked for help on a project one time and his whole 'barkada' was there. That was the day I met the husband. Nah, it wasn't love at first sight. I actually found him very arrogant at that time so I kept my distance. I got along well with their barkada that day. One of them was even trying to get my attention (modesty aside lol!) much to my chagrin.

My ex boyfriend's brother offered to walk me to the the jeepney station and C and the husband tagged along. For some reason, I noticed him that time and even told C he looked like some reporter. We laughed it off. The husband tried to make a good impression but he instead closed the door of the van on my feet. Sheesh! Way to go!

I promised my ex bf's brother that I would call as soon as I get home, which I did. A guy answered and was trying to make me guess who he was. Out of the blue, I said the husband's name. lol!

Months passed and me and the ex bf broke up but his brother and I became great friends so we would still talk over the phone. One time for some reason I couldn't understand, I asked him about the husband and wether he was from chinese descent. I was actullay surprised he popped into my mind.

We met again at ex bf's brother's birthday. He was there but I didn't really notice him. I was chatting with someone else. All of a sudden he walked towards where we were and asked if he could get some cake. I made some lame joke and he flashed that killer smile and walked away. I was like "what just happened there?" and shrugged it off. A few days later, he called. I even mistook him for some old guy lol!

Let's just say the rest is history. ;) It has been a wonderful 10 years together!

Weekend Breaks

I honestly need a break. And with our 10th anniversary coming up, I really really need a couple of weekend breaks!

For those of you who work, I believe you know how important short breaks from the office is. It refreshes your mind and spirit and gives you that extra boost to give your best at work. It's a good idea to take even a few city breaks just to keep your mind of work for sometime. Believe me, I've seen and actually know people who just work and work and they honestly don't look good! I don't want to be like that!

That is why as early as now, I am planning for a couple of weekend breaks in the near future. I am currently searching for cheap flights and great holiday offers! I know I'm bound to find something as the holidays are fast approaching!

I'd love to visit Prague, Rome and Paris! Ooh Paris sounds really lovely for the husband and me! I just know it's going to be a romantic trip - just in time for our 3rd Wedding anniversary, don't you think? There's also Barcelona and Rome. Hmm..choices, choices and more choices! lol!

I'd really want to know your suggestion. Where do you think we should spend our 3rd wedding anniversary?

Just Some Work Stuff

It's been a while and I've got really nothing exciting to post about. My life has been all about work lately.

I am finally adjusting to the new site and I must say the people there are really nice. Tasks are a mountain high as usual but I get by. We had one big issue a while ago though that got me anxious again but everything turned out okay. I guess I just need to work on a couple of skills some more.

One thing that's getting me by is the full support of the husband. His patience and understanding about my work and what I do is pretty amazing! I am very thankful I have him beside me. I am putting much effort on spending more time with him so weekends for me are very very sacred. I just pray that I get to learn how to manage my time better.

This weekend is exciting to say the least. Our 10th anniversary is coming up. We have no big plans. Dinner or lunch date outside I guess. I know, I know it's pretty boring but hey, we're on a budget here people! ;) Well, we're trying to save up for a car actually so wish us luck on that too! So that's about me for now. I promise to tell you all about the weekend as soon as I get the chance. Toodles! :)
