Anyway, I read a book today. It's been years that I get to read a whole book. 3 years I guess. I stopped reading because the condition of my eyes are getting worse. I am getting nearsighted and my sight blurred when it's already late in the afternoon. I WAS addicted reading novels of Judith McNaught, Jude Deveraux and I forgot that another favorite author. Since I can't put the book down, I read them even when I'm lying in my bed, with not enough light. And when I am not reading any pocketbooks, I could sat down infront of the computer the whole day. In a way, I was a nerd. But I liked it. I was flexible in many ways. Even though I was kind of a nerd, an Engineering student FYI and solving math problems during the night, I had tons of friends. Really. :) I go to parties too, well, only right after my exams.

And I am getting nostalgic now. I am missing my friends. Right after our graduation last March this year, most of them decided to work outside the city. Not me. Since I am the type who easily get home sick. And the kind who always look for my mom and dad when I wake up from slumber.

And oh, about the book I read today. It was heart-breaking. A book by James Patterson entitled Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. It was a love story, which James Patterson don't usually write since his novels were mostly thrillers. It talked about life and love. Five balls, as Suzanne was teaching Nicholas the importance of life's five balls. Friends, Family, Health and Integrity -- 4 balls that was made of glass balls. And the other one is Work - a ball which id made if rubber. Simply means, to me, that those 4 glass balls were the most important things in life. You have to treasure because once they were broken, they would of course, break. And as of the rubber made ball, they bounce back when you throw them. Not really throw them, but well, they're not that precious compared to those 4 glass balls which needs extra care.

It's been a week since my last post. I should have written some of the things that happened last days. It was exactly one week that I was deeply worried about Macky for not calling me on a Thursday, which he usually does. Well, he called last Friday. I was really relieved from all the worrying that was in my head. Because I thought they were hit my hurricane Ike. You can't blame me, it was on the news that it might hit Florida for the reasons that they are located in the Western part of America. Also, they have the beaches, which is really close to calamities like the hurricanes.

Yesterday, he was at Puerto Rico. And he sent me his recent pictures while we were chatting.

Honestly, I am feeling lonely today. Since it's Thursday, I was expecting my baby to call me or at least text me. But I received none. When I'm from work early in the morning, they already docked in Miami's port. I just pray they are safe right now because last day, I read a news that there's a hurricane in the Southern part of Florida.

Anyway, I am not going to write a mushy-all-about-me-and-him post today. Instead, It'll be something, well, it's still about me. But it's all about how productive I am today.

I have a new layout, you see. It's my FIRST blogspot layout. Not really my first encounter of html/css and adobe but as I've said, my first blogspot layout. I was not accustomed with the blogspot codes such as the bloggeritemdate, bloggerheader and other SQL queries. Good thing though, I manage to "like" them (as if I have a choice right?).

Last night, I was internet slacking at the office (ssh!). I was kind of jealous of those people who are able to customized their blogs, that's why I got interested. I already have a blog in wordpress but unfortunately, they don't allow users to customized the layout. Though I liked their professional-looking templates, I would want to learn new things on how-to make templates. Not to mention I WAS a frustrated web designer years ago. I guess this is the right time to practice what I really love doing. :)

Good luck to me!

Last August 30 (Saturday), me and my officemates went out to celebrate Ate Jen's pre-birthday celebration treat. It was also Raffy's treat when he won the Best Costume during our General Meeting with the there Cosplay. We had beers and videoke. But the thing that I really enjoyed was when we turned the videoke room into a disco room.

Here are some of our pictures:

I am currently Listening to my favorite FM Radio with the Djs having a very interesting topic. Is it important to bring up topics from your past relationship to your present lover? Just a matter of Yes or No. Well for me, it's not completely wrong to ask something about the past. It could be wrong unless you always bring it into your conversation. Past should always belong to the past. But it doesn't mean you have to completely ignore it. Those things are important too. Those that happened can be instruments of a better relationship in the present. For example, if you did something wrong in the past and turned out that it resulted into a bad experience. Well I guess, it serves as a lesson not to do it again so that you wont be having the same mistake again, with of course, the same consequences that brought you pain and misery. It's good to tackle things in the past, but not the notion that you always have to slap it over and over into your partner's face. That is when relationship is not healthy anymore. In addition to that, being so much attached in the past will always bring you sadness and INSECURITY.

When we take every opportunity to remind our spouses of past problems or mistakes, it makes it clear that we really haven't forgiven or moved on. We must learn to let go put it behind us. Maybe the issue was never fully resolved and needs to be discussed calmly and settled once and for all. This should not be attempted during a disagreement or heated exchange, but at another time.

Nobody is perfect, and we are all tempted to use past hurts as a weapon at times. Think about things before you say them, and do not lash out in anger. Let past hurts go, and deal with the issue at hand in as calm a manner as possible.
