Dear Online Diary,

Should I believe in the power of dreams? There are times when I feel like a dream was real. At some point, I was thinking that this could be possible. That these things I am seeing, are premonitions of my inherited mind.

Yea. I must be insane.

I am sure though, that all my sanity's intact.

But there are dreams so lucid. That makes me feel like that that was reality.

Over the past weeks, I am seeing this man in my dreams. He felt so real.

We were super friends in my dreams. It felt like he came in perfect timing. Gahd! I wish he's real. I need him now. I need a friend like him. Or maybe a brother. With all these things I'm going through, I need that comfort he gives me in my dreams. Basta, I just feel like that man's going to be part of my life.

Si God na ba itey? lol

I am very certain that that setting isn't in Manila. Probably it's in the South.  Cagayan or Davao or Cebu maybe. (Somewhere malinis. lol) Or maybe even outside Pinas. (As if I have plans of travelling outside the country! Duh!).

And I cannot see his face. My dreams were all full of emotions. You know how magulo some dreams are. Scenes shift from one setting to another. I find them difficult to describe.

I am not expecting him to be a lover. Maybe a friend, a very very good friend. Sige na nga. Pwede na ding lover. lol

Ang hirap naman kase I-explain. He makes me feel very loved and wanted but there are scenes in my dreams where it shows me his family. A wife and a kid.

(Kaloka. Ayoko naman maging third party, anebeh! I will never be a kabit. I have been a victim of this and I wouldn't want another woman, another family to go through the same hell I've gone through. )

I was on my way to work last night, and the thoughts about these dreams keep bugging me. And a name popped up. His name is Luke.

I know now. His name is Luke!

Luke, I have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for coming into my life, unexpectedly, but just in time. Thank you for helping me move on.

I will never have the chance to tell you these things. But I sincerely hope you'll feel my gratefulness for these random things I can mention--

>>> for listening when I try to work out details.

I appreciate it when you take time to listen and pay attention, while letting me speak.

>>> for almost always handing me a napkin when I cry. :D

>>> for not judging me for my weaknesses.

>>> for helping me understand life, and love.

>>> for giving me the room where I can be just me.

If you only knew... I get giddy giggles when you tell me I'm hot despite this chest and flabby arms. lol

Thank you

>>> for making me feel beautiful even when i'm in a skimpy pair of old jeans and sneakers.

>>> for always wishing me a good day.

I appreciate it when you ask how my kids are doing.

Thank you

>>> for the meaningful conversations.

>>> for your company, when I shirk from the bitterness of the real world.

>>> for sharing me things I never have experienced in my life.

>>> for the secret solitude.

>>> for finding time to meet me even on gloomy days or nights.

Thank you for reminding me my worth.

Thank you for believing that I am strong.

Years from now, I believe I'll come across this post again. That's why I wrote this online.

If I ever get a chance to meet you, Luke. I want to give you my tightest hug. Thank you for easing my pain. I don't know you yet. But maybe someday we'll meet.

Maybe someday. :)

My Birthday Wishlist =)

Let me share with you my very simple birthday wishlist:

Nenuco. Gap So Pink. To relive my olfactory mem'ries.
A pair of canvess sneakers.
And a happy puso.

Happy 25th birthday to me! =)

Bringing Back the Beautiful Me Day 1 and 2

This is for me. p;ik

I thought of starting this project by bringing back the healthier me. The last three years was no that good for me, health-wise. It looks like I was introduced to JUNK meals and I found myself getting sick more than I use to.

Yesterday, I promised to start eating greens again and so far, I am doing good. Lol. It's just Day 2 today!

Day1. 10 April 2011

Featured Green Leafy Veggie of the Day: Sweet Potato Tops and Jute Leaves (a.k.a Talbos ng Kamote at Saluyot). I had a concoction of these leaves, onions, and ginger for lunch.

Featured Protein Source of the Day: Round Scad  (a.k.a Galunggong Lalaki)

Feature Pebre of the Day: Minced Fresh Tomatoes

Healthy Umph: 2 Glasses of Whole Milk, 1 Glass of Malt Drink

Day2. 11 April 2011

Featured Green Leafy Veggie of the Day: Moringa/ Horse Radish and Jute Leaves (a.k.a Malunggay at Saluyot). I had another concoction of these leaves, onions, and lemon grass for lunch.

Featured Protein Source of the Day: Hard-tail Mackerel (a.k.a Galunggong Babae)

Feature Pebre of the Day: Minced Tomatoes Sauted in Olive Oil

Healthy Umph: A 2km brisk-walk

Get Pampered All the Way!

There's nothing more I want..

I wish I can spend another good weekend for a relaxing spa and sauna with my beautiful gurlfriends . That's probably going to be Ulai's Step 1!

Project "Bring Back the Beautiful Me" :))

It's time to make yourself feel good about yourself!

 
I had a tete-a-tete with my boss today. The usual how are you's and self assessments.  He knows "The Story" of my life, my bouts with whoever, my worries of whatever, and almost everything about that "Story". Now, there was one part of our conversation today that moved me to bring my old self back. I realized I haven't pampered myself for the longest time. He says, I've been caring too much for everybody that I have already forgotten about myself. Yeah, you're right about that boss....

Okay. I'll try to bring back the beautiful me. LOL! Perhaps it's really time to take care of myself again.

Now, where do i begin?
