engaged and loving it

we're hooked. and there ain't no turning back... and i feel great and so much in love. haven't had wedding jitters yet so i guess that's a good thing - right?


i thought that it was so stressful to plan a wedding when i first got myself into this mixed-emotions-thingy mushy people refer to as engagement. i found out that it's not so bad after all. carl has been very supportive and involved in all the wedding planning stuff and it's great. all's well with enough time. other than small details, i think everything's in place - oh no! is it? i'll have to check my planner. hihi...

but i guess inspite of all the hardships of planning and not having everything to go the way you planned, the most important thing is that you're having fun, both of you. i've learned that a couple should never get so caught up in planning the wedding that they forget why they're having the wedding in the first place. we're in this together, and i don't care if anything falls short on my wedding day, as long as i have carl beside me so we can laugh at it together. as of now, i try not to get stressed by anything, and if i do, there's always a bottle of beer at 7-Eleven. and i can just look at my brilliant ring - can't help but smile.

pseudo-reunion.

last saturday at the enggsoc month's kick-off party, tatum got drunk again after a long, long, long time...

nothing beats getting drunk and crazy with your bestest friends... they know it's never true when i say all those nasty things about stuff - well some of it are true. after a couple of bottles of booze, and a filling breakfast buffet (which i didn't partake of), getting home at 5 in the morning when the sun was making it's way up the sky was something i never got to do in college and it was tiringly fun. haha...

it's been a while since i had hung out in that place called "countryside". not many of my atenean friends from work know about this place coz it's an "inuman sa kalye"... hihi... but it kinda sucked when they made a last call for beers at 3am. and we weren't drunk yet. haha. but the isaw there and chicken tails rock! but i don't eat meat now so i had hito, which is ok as well... i can't wait for the next after party pary as my deeyosah friend with an SLR camera chooses to call it.

this is me now...

a year ago, i couldn't imagine how life would be like out of UP - meaning, an 8-5 job, no more sleepless nights hanging out or getting drunk, a life where i can no longer text my students and make them happy by saying classes are suspended today due to some crazy excuse. i mean, i couldn't imagine hanging out with other people other than my friendly-friendly SCV friends and my ever so dependable co-faculty whom i've gotten so comfortable with. until...

until chevron happened. i guess i worried too much. this is kinda like UP in so many ways, i feel like i'm dealing with the same personalities all over again. these kids are ok. they're cool, and young. makes me miss my mmm family and SCV friends sometimes, but friends are never lost. i know they're there, making something big of themselves and like me, trying to cope with all the messed up shit life throws at us. i'm sure they'll show up when a good cause arrives... something like... inuman?
