It has been a rollercoaster ride. A very enjoyable and happy one. But we have to end it, and we both know why. Even before it even began, we knew this was coming. Too many issues, to many complications that not even our feelings for each other, no matter how strong, can overcome. I am hoping, as I know you are too, that this is not really the end of it. But we both know that for now, this is good bye. Nonetheless, thank you! Thank you for taking care of me, and making me feel special and important! Thank you for making time, and exerting effort even if you had little time or energy! Thank you for the lessons I have learned throughout these weeks. I appreciate everything you did and gave. I want you to know that despite this heartbreak here, I consider our short time together very special and memorable. What we had might not be a real relationship, just something a bit more than friendship. But it was an eye-opening one. Thank you for making me believe, for showing me I can have what I want and what I deserve! It might be hard to find…
Happy National Ria Jose Day!!!
Today is officially National Ria Jose Day!!! (WOOT) It's my 27th birthday and it's been a happy one so far. Even before 12 midnight, people already started greeting me via Plurk and Twitter. And at around 12, Gwing and Kuya Andrew both sent me birthday greetings via SMS. And the greetings and well wishes haven't stopped pouring in via Plurk, Twitter, Facebook, and SMS. :) Thank you to everybody who greeted me. The day started with a breakfast of corned beef (my favorite) and Pepper Jack Cheese in pan de sal sandwich. I then proceeded to go online and rest for a while. I just finished eating lunch. As a birthday treat Mommy let me eat half a scoop of ice cream even if I'm forbidden to eat it as I haven't fully recovered from my sore throat. :P Figaro's Tomato Con Al Tonno, Jose Raphael's Jasmine Tea, and Jose Raphael's Choco Chip Jaffle Kuya Andrew and I went out to have coffee. We ended up at Figaro where he ate pizza and I ate Tomato Con Al Tonno pasta. YUUUUM! Kuya gave me his pasalubong/birthday gift from Singapore. He also gave me gifts from Ate Aileen, and from Hana…
Patient Maria Jose
The past few days have been a blur for me. Mainly, because I had been spending it confined in a hospital room. A large and nice room, but a hospital room, nonetheless. Holy Week, I was already coughing and had a sore throat but I disregarded it since I am so used to having those minor illnesses already. I thought that the regular plenty of water and no sweets rules would apply and make me feel better. After a few days I did get better. but last Friday, the sore throat had come back. Being the pasaway that I am, I still went out with friends that night (sans the beer drinking). I spent the entire Saturday resting in preparation for a long Sunday. Last Sunday, I spent the entire day, and night until 3 am working by monitoring the on-going Poker Face tournament at the Metro Card Club Davao. By 11 pm, I had already felt very ill but couldn't leave a I had to finish the tournament. I went home at around 3:30 am feeling very sick. Monday, I went to work again as I was supposed to have a meeting. Unfortunately, it was postponed, but I wasn't…
Dreaming of You
It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and my cousin Tinky and I love singing this everytime we go videoke-ing. Selena's Dreaming of You Late at night when all the world is sleeping I'd stay up and think of you And I'd wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me Wonder if you even see me And I wonder if you know I'm there If you looked in my eyes Would you see what's inside? Would you even care? I just wanna hold you close But so far, all I have are dreams of you So, I wait for the day and the courage to say How much I love you(Yes, I do) I'll be dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin Late at night when all the world is sleeping…
Why I Haven't Lost Hope
Everyday, people ask me why I am not worried that at 26, I am single and have no prospects for a husband. Heck! I haven't even really had a serious long-term relationship. I'm retarded, I know. SHADDUP! Other people are more worried than I am. It doesn't really bother me a lot. I know I whine, blog, and Plurk a lot about boys, having them, not having them, and many other variations of being with them or having problems with them. But the truth is, I am taking things slowly, am just out there to have fun. I am not losing sleep over the fact that my biological clock is ticking and I might never get married or have children. You see, when I broke up with my so-called boyfriend, Ate Aileen told me to take it easy and have fun with teh boys. She literally told me to find, meet up, and maybe date at least three boys per week. I took her advice to heart and didn't take anybody seriously. Rather, I went out there and had fun. I'm still having fun. Right now, I really don't know what it is I want from a guy and from…
