To echo my one of my friends' sentiments, the thing about microblogging is that it inadvertently kills your blog. I have been a total ploork junkie lately & I realized I haven't been updating my actual blog.
There are many reasons behind this though... My blog's settings are for public viewing, my plurk is on private. It summat makes me feel sad that I can't be as open about my life on my blog anymore, but some sacrifices do have to be made to keep my privacy. Some followers of my blog have been pretty strange to say the least.
I must admit that I miss being able to talk in the first person, though. :)
So, random updates!
1) Love Love Love...
I'm still happily in love. People who are important to me and even those who are in my social network love Chad for me, and heck, I agree. :) I was reminiscing with Doc Harry about having a couple of beers in Murphy's roundabout Christmas, keeping each other sane during our "singlehood". I'm happy both he & I have found significant others who make us happy. I'm re-listening to Imogen Heap's Goodnight & Go because it reminds me of my state of mind when I started going out with Chad. I know, I know... Cheesy. I'm still finding it disgusting how I can be so cheesy, but hey.
2) Work Work Work...
As I've said, I will be quitting teaching after this term. It's too taxing, & quite frankly, CSB Admin people don't treat their professors right. The details are in my plurk, but I must say I'm extremely disappointed.
As for my day job... Well, I was going through stuff with Chad last night & we've realized that they've given me everything I've wanted from the company this year: new car, promotion, increase... In fact I've gotten my 13th month + incentive + salary + reimbursements yesterday & I got baffled by the amount. I've never gotten that much in half a month...!
3) Christmas!!!
I've never been this excited for Christmas in years! I'm looking forward to the bazaars (& I apologize for not posting exactly which ones, security purposes). I'm psyched that Chad's sister's family is coming over. And would you believe his family actually gave me tickets & accommodations to join their out of town trip? I'm absolutely speechless!!!
4) Running
Chad & I have been running around in different parts of town for fun, fitness, & endorphines. I miss it but alas, my "visitor" has been erratic due to stress & I have to rest it out for another week.
5) Art
Chad bought me Tita Vicky Zubiri's painting. It's my first art piece, & I love it! The title is Summer 2008. I love it because it's Summer, my favorite season of the year, the colors are fantastic, & 2008 was the year that changed my life. Initially priced at PHP 20,000.00, Steph suddenly approached us & told us that since they love us, they gave it at a much, much lower price, to be paid to Tita Vicky's charity. Chad was flabbergasted. :) I love the Zubiris... Politics aside (coz I _hate_ politics), they're a pretty real, sweet family.
Looking back at this entry, I remember Chad having asked me what I want for Christmas. I have everything I ever want or need... It's not perfect yet, but I'm happy to be in such a good place in my life. My family, pseudo-extended family, friends, & for the first time in my life my career & finances, are great. :)
