Headache, Major!

Whenever i hear stories about Kenneth Cobonpue, my head always feels like it's about to burst like Mt. Pinatubo. I want to be like him sooooooo bad. But i must keep telling myself to take it one step at a time. "Brick by brick, my friend; brick by brick."

I am just so grateful for this man who has practically given us Filipinos a life template on how to win in the global arena.

My Breakfast Buddies

Something was prompting me to blog about my breakfast this morning. I knew there was something special. Wow, true enough, I found out my dad was leaving and will be gone for 2 weeks.

If there is a favorite meal of the day, for me i'd say it's breakfast. I don't want to say I'm a breakfast person for any health or lifestyle reason but only because i enjoy my morning chit-chat with my dad and grandma. The three of us rarely miss our breakfast together. If we miss, it is always because i overslept.

There are top 3 breakfast dishes that i enjoy: 1. Daing na Bangus with rice and sunnyside-up egg; 2. Tinapang Bangus with rice and sunnyside-up egg; 3. Erhmmm, Toasted bread and butter. Every meal should come with a huge mug of black coffee. Before, it usually comes with a cup of buko-nata yogurt but i got tired of it. Hmm..Hmmm.. I hope Manang Tess, our cook, will learn how to make poached eggs. Wala lang.

As i was saying, this morning's breakfast was extra special. Not only was my dad being uber talkative this morning, my grandma (we call her mommyla) was too! They were both talking about their old neighbors and about my dad's childhood best friends. I had so much fun listening to them that's why i became oblivious of my other duties. I went to office late again.

But yeah, i'll miss my dad. Hope he'll be home sooner.

Thank you Christal. had so much fun!

Mixed Emo

I'm here at the airport lounge, about to board in an hour.  Too bad i can't use my cellphone here inside.  I overcharged my cell with $25.00 load but i unfortunately can't use it for telebabad, haha.  Oh well, i miss home.  

I thought being away for nearly 2 months would clear my mind from some emotional and intellectual smog (haha, whatever you might call it).  Guess what, it didn't.  I'm still as scattered-brain as ever.  I still have no concrete plans for my future.  I know, why should i even plan?  I know God is with me and He alone knows my path but i also need to do some life-checking, you know?  Two weeks ago i was so inspired to go home.  Now my senses are down again.  I'm scared to go home now.  Pray, pray, pray, i tell myself.   

Ahhhhh!  What will happen when  i go home?  I need to focus.  Focus. Focus.  But i'm fat.  Focus.  Focus.  Should i go home?  Focus. Focus.

I thank God for my loved ones who took care of me while i'm here in the U.S.   I also thank God for my classmate-friend Julie.  She's from China but she practically grew up in Singapore (of all places).  I also met his Korean boyfriend.  His name's David.  And this afternoon this couple  took me out for lunch.  We had Thai food.   

I'll definitely miss Julie.  She's my first non-filipino friend.  

Oh, i think we'll be boarding in a while.  I have to go.  When i get home i'll practice doing mini-mood boards.  Because in school my mood boards suck.  Last week, I promised myself that i'd start doing it.   I even asked Julie to lend me her gluestick so i could attach random pictures to the pages of my Moleskine.  But she forgot.  So i also forgot.  My bad.  

Okay i really have to go.  I miss Dean and Deluca.  I miss that cute bottle of fresh grapefruit juice from that shop.    I miss the yogurt parfait from the deli near our school.  

Okay bye. bye. bye.  Later!
