Back to reality

Everyone's on a holiday hangover and is back to reality.

What's my reality?

I think I need to be more honest with myself.

In other news, my wrist injury is much better now and I am hoping to go back to Ashtanga this Friday. Yesterday I had an excellent Bikram practice and although I know yoga is all about self and finding peace with yourself, nothing beats hearing praise and compliments from your teacher as you move from one asana to the next.

I will have to go to another Bikram class tomorrow. Can't risk my wrist just yet by joining Ms Ann's Vinyasa class.

Find your center, find your center.

And so it is

The song keeps playing in my head. Like it means something.

It is a new year now, and I do wish for a new one.

My 2009 was not as bad as it was for others. Perhaps because my family and I were spared of Ondoy's wrath. Well. Was Ondoy even angry? From what I heard, Ondoy came in a steady non-threatening way.

The worst things always come when you least expect them.

On the other hand, so do the best ones.

I do feel like I am on the brink of something exciting. I simply cannot wait. I am restless so very very restless and I am yearning for that something (or someone?) to anchor me.

I feel like a Jackson Pollack masterpiece. A beautiful mess.

Weddings galore

Well, engagements. My dear friend T, who's also celebrating her birthday today, just got engaged last Christmas to J, who's also a friend of mine. T and I, and our circle of friends, have all agreed that the first to be married among all of us must treat the rest to a spa day. Yay!

But more than the free massage and pampering, I'm very very happy and excited for her. I know she wants this and her parents also want this for her too. Today is definitely a good day.

A former co-worker, S is also engaged now to R, who's a friend too. They also got engaged last Christmas.

Will write another entry on the family's Corregidor trip tom.

Ramblings

This morning I woke up with nasty rashes all over the back of my legs and the underside of my upper arms. Although it all disappears after a few hours, I'm worried because it looks horrible and I notice my legs looked splotchy the whole day today.

Yesterday, this happened to me too. My derma's secretary is not picking up so I have to wait till next week :( argh.

In other news, I worked on my glutes today at rockwell and then went for a quick run (3.6km) after with my brothers.

The family leaves for Corregidor tomorrow. Except my dad, this will be our first time. I'm excited since I also haven't travelled with my family in more than a year (I don't remember going out of town last Christmas when I was home)

Anyway, I'm savoring my last few days of 2009 because I feel like getting busy in 2010. I'm sick of not having much to do (in the end, I accomplish much less in a day despite more time) and I really want and need a major change and push right now.

I feel...like I'm on the verge of something. 2010 is going to be a great year. Much better than my 2009, definitely and I'm excited.

Happy birthday, Jesus!

Yet another Christmas has passed, and I am grateful I spent my holidays with a smile on my face and a happy heart.

I'm already looking forward to December 2010 -- I can't wait to shop for gifts again and wrap them up nicely and see the recipients' reactions and to have long dinners and loud parties with both family and friends.

This time, I had two weddings to attend in a span of three days which filled my heart with even more warmth and cushiness. I love weddings almost as much as I love Christmas.

I love seeing love and feeling love and most of all, being in the presence of love.

Merry Christmas, all.

After the storm

The dining room is a mess. But it's the kind of mess which I don't mind leaving till the next morning to clean up.

The other messes in my life, well. That's a totally different story.

Just like before

I received my first ever Christmas gift today! Wow, it's the 17th and it was my first, how weird/sad is that?

I think it's incense sticks, from my vinyasa teacher Ms. Ann. Sweet, no?

Anyway, I spent the day at the mall after class. Spent a good 4 hours there, I cannot believe it still. Brother1 was looking for dress shoes that's not too expensive and I was working on my project for the parentals and errand-shopped for the BF's party tonight.

I am not sure but I think I still haven't found what I'm looking for. :(
