Being a Bitch

I once described myself as being bitchy and somebody chastised me for it. Today, Noemi Dado blogged about her "Bitch Powers". And yeah, I agree with her. If being a bitch means being "a strong woman who has her own identity and is secure with who she is," then by all means... let me be a bitch, call me a bitch because I am a bitch. So YEY to all Bitches!

Happy

Despite problems, people who try to bring me down, bouts of depression (not clinical), illnesses and stress, I am happy. Things are starting to fall into place. Loose ends are being tied up. Best of all, I am moving on. Every now and then. I can still feel the pain, I still get angry, and my bitterness remain... but I am able to live with it, determined to be better, be content, be HAPPY. Some things might not change, some people might never change. Some situations and issues will never be resolved. They never will, and I won't even expect them to. There is a certain peace achieved when one learns to just accept things as they are, no matter how wrong or unfair they are. One can be happy despite life and its pitfalls. All it takes is courage. Courage to decide to be happy, to choose to move on. It takes courage because not everybody can easily do it. I, for one, took a lot of time and encouragement from other people so that I could accept the way things are and move on. It's hard to be a good person, harder to be the better and bigger…

What Have I Been Up To?

I know, I know. My personal blog *ehem*THIS ONE*ehem* has been quite boring. I haven't been all emo and angsty. And I haven't been really excited about anything either. Not that my life is boring. On the contrary, my life has been very HECTIC. For one, I have been building my own business. It's a consultancy and events firm. Initially, it was formed to accommodate the consultancy work I have been doing, and to market some IT events here in Davao City. Luckily, somebody mistakenly finally asked me to be a co-coordinator of their wedding. I have been waiting for this chance. While it is very stressful, I find it very exciting and fulfilling. So now, I am focusing on promoting and providing customized wedding coordination services, and I have been getting a lot of inquiries. I already have my first real client. YEY! Somebody also hired me to be their wedding reception's emcee. So again, YEY! And I've been promoting my new business via my blog, and I have just earned my very first cents from it. LOL! Another thing I've been busy with giving talks. So far, I have been to Marbel to talk about Internet Marketing and…

My Speed Dating Experience

Last Friday, I hurried to Caffe Vivere at around 7 pm for the speed dating event. I. WAS. LATE. When I arrived, I saw three guys, two of them were already my friends. After a while, the other participants arrived. Meantime, me and my guy friends chatted while eating some food. I wanted to eat more but I was you know... trying not too eat too much. LOL! I also had some of their fabulous iced tea. YUMMY! I was kinda worried though because as moments passed by, more and more guys started arriving. It was kinda intimidating to be the only girl. Good thing other girls also started arriving after a while. Peculiar thing though, some participants arrived in twos, but according to them they're not a couple. ANYWAY... Around past 8 pm, there were enough participants to get the ball rolling. So there I was, armed with my score sheet and the #4. I took my seat and got to meet bachelor #4. After eight minutes... came bachelor number #5. At the end of the thing, I got to meet eight guys. All of them were interesting... but in different ways, and at different levels. Would I consider…
