Drizzles

I love drizzle. I really do. But I hate it when drizzle falls on summer. Blame it on climate change (which would eventually put the blame on us because we’re accountable to nature!). It’s wet outside today because of the continuous drizzle. I feel sleepy.

Aside from feeling sleepy, I also feel the urge to eat whenever it’s raining outside. It’s a natural reaction, isn’t it? There’s something about the rainy weather that induces people to slow down and rest. And yes, eat! What’s for merienda, I ask. Haha.

First Summer Outing

If plans will push thru, I’ll have my first summer outing in April. And it’s gonna be a team building activity of our office. My officemate and I took care of making the reservation in the resort. Right now, I’m waiting for the quotation to reach my inbox.

After reading some reviews online, we settled for this beach resort in San Juan, Batangas. Aside from the nice view and the good accommodation, what I liked about this beach resort was the price. You know, everything has to fit in our budget. I would have liked the place better if they had a swimming pool (I’m okay if it doesn’t have new pump and filter hayward parts so long as it’s clean), but it seems they didn’t have any. Or I just didn’t see one on their website. Whatever.

Lenten Season

The Lenten Season is fast-approaching. And I so look forward to the long holidays it brings. I’m not a very religious person but I always see Lent as a time to slow down, meditate and connect with God. I also think that this is the perfect opportunity to reflect on my life and how I could make it more meaningful not only for myself but for the people around me.

This Holy Week, I plan to relax and do uncomplicated things. I want to get as much rest as I could get. I want to spend as much time as I could with my family. I also want the same for my husband. That’s why we have decided to spend time equally between his family and mine. Fair deal, ayt?

Time to Hit the Beach!

Summer’s here! Time to hit the beach! Time to slim down for me to fit in my bikini. Ouch. I think I’ll have to work on that as hard as I could. It’s not gonna be easy, what with the pounds I gained before, during and after the wedding. Spell di-le-mma.

If I am only attending a prom, all I need to do is get myself a plus size prom dress and I’ll be good to go. But this is beach escapade we’re talking about. Somehow, there’s a pressure on the girls (not so much on the boys!) to show off some nice figure and don some good beach wear. Haha.

I Lost My Favorite Purse

Some good things never last. So true. That was the exact thought running in my head after I lost my favorite purse at this hotel where my family and I had a good dinner buffet to celebrate my sister’s college graduation. I still can’t figure out how I lost my purse because as far as I remembered, I slid it back into my bag after using it.

Aside from some personal things, a few cash and a check (that I still have to request for a re-issue from the company that gave it to me!), it’s the purse itself that I really regret losing. Yeah, talk about sentimental value. It had been with me for just a few months but I love, love it’s nice color and print and the beautiful butterfly bead work on its back. Awww, I really miss it!

The Adjustment Period

Right after the wedding comes the adjustment period. It starts when you and your partner (in my case, it’s my dear husband) move to your new house. The moment you sleep together in one bed, you feel the need to adjust. For me, it was more like adjusting to the thought that from that time on, I will sleep with the same man every night and welcome each day in the arms of the same person.

The adjustment period may be thought-provoking and worrisome for many people, but I find it quite manageable and fun, too. Perhaps, it’s because I went steady with my man for seven years before we decided to tie the knot. Such a long period of time gave me most, if not all, of the information I needed to know about him. I also saw him and spent time with him almost everyday in the last seven years so if there was anything I needed to know, I’m sure I’ve learned of it prior to our big day.
