i found myself waiting and with a lot of time to sit and do nothing so i though i'd actually make a blog entry...

it's weird how things are now. my life was pretty routine beofre: go to work, do my job; go home and sleep; go clubbing, partying, drinking; work out once in a while. well i wasn't conciously trying to break that routine. i guess i thought tht whatever was suppose to happen would happen on it's own. another lesson learned!

first major turn in my life was my decision to leave the comfort of NMI for a show that would feature TESDA and the vocational technical industry. because of this my schedule changed. since NMI has a flexi time policy i could sleep in and go to the office in the afternoon. it also meant that i'd have to end my workday late at night. now i start early so i get home early. i actually get to go malling before going home or even watch TV.And i get to sleep earlier!

another thing i'm able to do is go to the gym regularly, at least four times a week. exercising makes me feel good. i see the effect it has on my body, though i'm still not as thin as i'd like to be or thin enough to think of myself as "thin." it also helps me deal with stress, it's an outlet for it. exercising puts me in a good mood, although it can't keep me in a good mood forever.

since it feels like i have more time, i want to do more! and i look for different things to do or places to go. simple as going to a different part of metro manila to eat or go malling.

just last weekend i was able to go to virgin's resort in batangas. it was a day trip with Raquel and Russell her fiance. i loved the place, it's new and the facilities are nice. the cherry on top was the food - yummy and great presentation! it really was my money's worth.

another thing i got to do was speed dating. i've heard about it, seen it TV or in the movies. i was a bit scared and apprehensive about it but it turned out to be a blast! my mind set going into the activity was to meet people and enjoy myself. of course there were some that i wasn't attracted to but i made a point to talk to them and avoid those awful silent, awkward moments. at the end of the night i found myself glad to have joined. the results? i got six matches. have yet to see what will come out of it.

i guess i t seems that i have more time now coz i make a concious effort to make time to do things.

a major change in my life is that i spend time wih my mom. go out for a bite to eat, watch a movie and talk. things are definitely different between me and my mom. i wonder if it's cause we don't live in the same house anymore - since we don't see each other as often, there's less of a chance for me to get on her nerves! ;-)

i'm kind of finding it hard to keep in touch with old friends. but that's a problem with scheduling and i can't do much about that. just remember to text and invite them out every once in a while.

but don't get me wrong! my new job isn't perfect, there are growing pains and adjustments to be made. and sometimes i find myself thinking "what have i gotten myself into?!" but i love the show and that it's about creating awareness on voc tech studies and that people can make a good living if they choose this way to a better life.

all in all i'm happy with the way things have been going. though i do miss rica, pabsy, binky, wanggo, howard, wowie, will, paolo, arjun, aj, manny, cathy, marco, mica, bam, paolo, boom, fay, lyra, mic, eyron, bel, and nelz. and how it was working with them, how at times thigns would be difficult but we'd understand each other and our work. great times. i'd definitely make an effort to keep in touch with them!
