hi hi everyone! it's been a while... but i have an announcement to make... i've moved!!! actually i've been posting there for a bit and am now ready to reveal the new place! and it is right through here....
i've been wanting to move for a while and when mish made the leap, i decided that i should too! and it's here that i'm able to lock up some posts which are only meant for the love of my life OR my closer friends. yes, more privacy for me please!
anyways, enjoy the new blog layout and stuff like that. it's been a good ride with blogspot so far, but as i've entered into another new phase of my life, it's a good time to make the change. :) don't worry, this blog won't be closed, but i've also moved the contents here to my new blog.

i have written about this person countless of times and most recently i've written this post about her. and i'm going to write another short post about her.
i'm happy to report that the change in her attitude has so far been maintained. sometimes i'm in disbelief that she can be so nice to me. she's brought food and ice cream for me. AMAZING right? coming from someone who seemingly hated me.
and i did, what i thought 2 years ago, was impossible. i stood up for her. i stood up for her because of the incompetance of another. he thought to bring her down. and so when my boss questioned auntie april and i, we stood up for her because it was right and she deserved at least that.
i'm thankful that she has made changes to her attitude. and i'm happy to see that her daughter (who used to give her quite a headache) and her are on good terms.
i guess in life, there is such a thing as KARMA.

i propose for the sake of good order and truth, that the england rugby team be renamed: jonny wilkinson and the english roses. why you ask? because of this.
here's an analogy: when you throw a good swimmer into a pool of shit, there's only so much he/she can do to keep afloat. the person must thus depend on the initiative and helpfulness of others, in order to get out of that pool of shit.
hence, (and i quote) as long as there are 15 jonnys in a team, england would most definitely win the match. that said, jonny cannot do it alone. either the whole team wake up their fucking idea and pull up their jock-straps, or england can kiss whatever wins against the better rugby teams goodbye.
for a person who hasn't played in international matches for as long as jonny wilkinson did (sporadically at least), his game (note how i said his game and not england's game) against australia was pretty rockin'! a pity that his teammates didn't rise up to the challenge.
and as much as i wanted australia to win (and they did!), it pained me to see how the english were failing whenever a small glimmer of hope (in the form of jonny) appeared. his tackles were fucking awesome and his kicks did not lose their lustre, even after all that injuries.
it pained me to see how much passion he was playing with, only to have his teammates foil the set-ups by being selfish or simply stupid. it's simple, really. if you can't kick, don't. if you can't pass properly, go for short passes. if you see a gap, run for it. and if you are closed down, pass to your teammates. simple rugby. don's attemp heroics if you are not up for it.
with that, i will say it again, the team should be renamed to jonny wilkinson and the english roses. at least you can't say he doesn't deserve it.
ps: i think lewis moody is mad awesome. ahahahaha another 'just-released-from-asylum' person.
goodnight world. it's time to say goodbye! and i'm going to have me a good rest. still a bit irritated from touch early. lots of simple passes and i missed. sigh. when will i improve?! oh wells... at least i don't panic when i see the ball coming towards my face. that's an improvement right? :)

what brings two persons together? is it love? or just a feeling of familiarity that bonds them to each other? or perhaps the need to have companionship? it could even be the unwillingness to admit that you have possibly failed in maintaining the r/ship.
i'd like to think that it's because you love each other so much, that living a life without that other person pains you so much you feel lost. at least i sure as hell hope that my r/ship will eventually grow into something like that.
i'd like to think that there is trust between a couple. that you can trust that he/she won't do something silly or wrong when you are not with them. and that you can trust that whatever he/she is not telling, it is not because it isn't important. but because is simply nothing of consequence.
(sidenote: i don't think it's necessary to tell your partner EVERYTHING. as long as you tell him/her the things that are important and have the potential to alter your r/ship. of course, if your other half asks about it, then you should tell her/him as is what it it. )
often times, r/ships don't work out the way that we want, or we have to fight tooth and nail to get the r/ship to a level where both parties are content and happy with each other. but what happens when you have fought so hard and so long, and yet, the r/ship still breaks down? do you continue fighting a winless battle or do you admit defeat and give up? and by that, does admitting defeat or giving up, means you lose? means that you are a failure? or that you are a coward?
doesn't the tears and effort in fighting the battle render you victorious in spite of a defeat? at least no one can say you didn't try.
i've never been one to support a couple getting back together after a break up (or many). this is because, there is a reason (or many) that have led to the breakup in the first place. it doesn't mean that when you break up and start afresh, the problems that have exsisted will magically disappear.
however, with that said, i've known a few couples who have broken up and gotten back together, and are happy together. but that to me, it is like a needle in a haystack. possibly 0.02% in a hundred.
and when you eventually get back together, you'd be wondering what happened during your time apart. what happens when you know that something has happened, and yet your other half omits certain details? can you find it in you to trust him/her? is that foundation of trust still there?!
to you: i know that it's hard just to let go of feelings that have built up over the years, all the ups and downs which you have experienced together. but you gotta take a step back and evaluate the situation and then decide for yourself if it is indeed worth your heart and love and (potentially) tears and laughter, to plunge into it again.
the doubt which you may have, will cloud your judgement and you have to ask yourself if you can see past the clouds and spot the sunshine hiding in them. are you willing to forgive and forget or will it always be a barrier/black spot in your r/ship.
and whatever you decide, i will support you. and anytime when you need someone to listen to your frustrations, i'll be here.... :) i wish you all the best, babe.

just came across something of interest to me on facebook... please feel free to read and laugh at my expense.
i really love these guys man. totally made my day. and i guess that's the reason why i miss them quite a bit when i don't see them for a while. and why i'm always willing to make time to spend with them. when you have awesome friends.... you hold on to them. :)
sidenote: today on the bus, this auntie was sitting slanted in her seat, effectively taking up 1.5 seats. i was going to seat beside her but refused to say excuse me. so, i just swipe my butt over her arm on the pretext that i slid into my seat a little early. she of course had to move. ha! take that oppressive auntie on bus 166!
note to self: never take the 166 that comes at 0830hrs. it's a bitch to get off. so many people get on at the vivo stop and makes it tough for me to get down at the hfc stop. 143 is it then!
