happy thought no. 2

On Valentine’s Day, my husband and I just stayed home after running the usual weekend errands. We were so tired that even if we had planned to sneak out for a late dinner, we dozed off early. Besides, the weather was uncooperative. It was cold and raining heavily. So when we woke up the next day, my husband felt a little frustrated. He must have wanted to eat Alberto’s pizza that much! Lol! Tinuod, ingon ana ra jud kabarato among plano. Haha!

On Monday, I had to get off late from work. So I got to join the husband in going home. It was a great experience. I was able to see the route he takes everyday on his way home and the people (co-workers) he’s with. Then, we were dropped off at Tabunok to take another ride. Suddenly, we both saw a particular sign that made us look at each other and smiled. We finally had pizza (and drinks for only P270. haha!) Naka-date na jud tawn mi bisan kadiyot ra. Lol!

Ambot unsa pay lili-on aning pizza. haha!
On our way home, we were feeling a little sad. We thought for sure our baby is asleep since it was way past 10pm already. But surprise, surprise! She was still awake even so fully-charged by a 2-hour sleep. Toinks. Dah. Kaubo. We stayed awake until 2am, I think. And Khandi was such a darling. She was singing and dancing and talking na wa pay articles og conjunctions, haha. Hay. My heart was so full of happiness that night…that night which doesn’t have to be Valentine’s. =)

PS I wish to share with you the recorded audio to her singing na murag humming. Lol! Unfortunately, multiply won’t accept the sound file. I’ll try to get another site to share it. =)

Murag korek nga puja. hehe.

happy thought

No stranger.

I’m grateful of yesterday.

It was happiness to have heard from two of my friends again whom I haven’t seen for a long time (3 years, I think) but have communicated with through chat and text. Both of them have joined me in that online stint two years ago.

My friend E is doing great and is happy with her life, love, and work. And what I really admire about her is her sense of empowerment. When I asked about how her boyfriend (of the longest time) was doing and if he was already a doctor, she said he would be soon and while waiting for that before getting hitched, she plans to get a law degree aside from the MBA degree up her sleeve. It’s really amazing to know of women who just don’t wait for their men and grow insecure of them. They do something.

Meanwhile, my friend P just confirmed he has a girlfriend. This makes me happy because despite the fact that he can be a little arrogant and can rub people the wrong way, I know he is a good person and deserves someone to love and love him back. However, I feel sad when he said he’s going through some tough times and that if I could include him in my prayers. But with that I have come to admire him because it takes courage in people to accept and say it, and to actually believe in the power of prayers. That’s really something.

I am simply touched, humbled, and proud of these friends. =) I can only wish and pray for them to be always well and happy. That’s the least I can do.
