Sometimes the worst thing that could happen to us opens the door for the best
that God wants to give us.

I'd like to believe in His ultimate plan for me, but sometimes I get tired of waiting. I get tired of hoping that one day some of the things about my life would be different.

No, I don't hate my life. Why should I? It's a fab fab life. What more can I ask for? Sometimes I ask myself why should I always play the martyr, the understanding, the forgiving, the pillar, the brains...I just want to be me. And what is that? Who is that?

I'd lie to myself if I say I'm not up for promotion. It's been two years and I haven't gotten promoted yet. They say never compare yourself with others, especially not your fate but I can't help but think that things are overly unfair. Why should I allow myself to be a corporate slave to areas out of my responsibility? Because I care too much. I want to get promoted. It's ashame to say it but don't I deserve one?

I need to decompress a little bit. I need to focus on something else. I don't have a life. I mean a real life.

I can't even find time to clean my own house.

I don't have motivation to go to the gym or go and play badminton. I'm getting fat!

I'm not with the man I love. Isn't it too sad.

I am looking for a purpose. I'm looking for reasons. I'm looking for the happiness that was, a good night's sleep and MP free of PMS.

Aiko's Salon


Aiko's Salon
Originally uploaded by setyr.

Visited Aiko's Body.Mind.Spirit. salon. It had a cozy, homey feel. I had the herbal sauna, which was pretty interesting (and extremely hot).

The one who attended me was her Mom, she's in charge of the herbal steam. Sakurai-san and Emiko were right, it was stinky! noticed that it was really good for your skin. I might give it another try.

I'm happy to see Aiko who looks absolutely radiant.

Her Mom was so pleasant and looks almost exactly as her (only a little on the chubby side)

The Passing Of Friends

I was reading my friend Oggie's blog, stunned at what was written. His climb buddy passed away in his pursuit of his heart's desire, that is climbing. Then I remember Rhia, the naughtiest, humblest, nicest, sexy and funny fellow household in Singles For Christ. She loved diving. And her love for diving caused her her life.
When Oggie said he spent time visiting wake and attending mass, I also remember a very poignant and probably one very touching moment in my life. Rhia's funeral. Rhia's body was swept by the Puerto Galera current and rumors (yes, the papers were saying) have it that the family didn't want Rhia's friends to see her bruised body and crashed head. It was a very clear day at the Forbes. Her family and were friends were smiling and remembering the old, naughty Rhia. I can imagine Rhia was smiling back at us in heaven and would have been very proud of us.
The speeches finished and we were ready to take Rhia to her long and peaceful rest, when her family sent out a Virgin Mary Prayer and a note from Rhia herself at the back, it says:
When the time comes that I leave this world behind,
If I had made at least one soul smiled
Then I would have fulfilled my purpose.
Rhia.
My cheeks warmed and I couldn't help the tears fall down my eyes. I miss her. I was suppose to meet her the week before she died but I begged off because I was 'tamad' to go over her house.
But I bet Rhia doesn't mind at all.
Her purpose was fulfilled...not with one soul but with all the people whose lives she's touched.

Growing In Terms Of Productivity

MBA has taught me valuable lessons in productivity. I spent my entire afternoon in the louge to complete my team paper, review for the Quiz, took it(and barely passed), reviewed Leah's test plans, reviewed Paulo's docs, accomplished my week's status report, organize my meetings next week and update my blog. Talk about productivity!
