Diary Entry: My time with myseld

from the keyboards of misis_pb

We had an eventful weekend which started Friday...  And I may have to write 4-5 different entries to cover everything that happened...

The husband arrived Thursday night from Leyte and I insisted on picking him up from the airport. Mainly because: 1.)  i love picking people up from a long trip, 2) the NAIA 3 airport is really nice; and 3.) i did miss him  :-)

Their flight was delayed for 30 mins or so and before they could board the plane, I was already in the airport and having my Jollibee Chicken Joy dinner at the 3rd floor food area. 

I then decided to spend the rest of my waiting time in Figaro (1st level, Arrival meet-up place).  Got a 16oz Latte, (which i regretted after)  and 4 different magazines.  I like alone moments like this.  It makes me think and converse with  myself.  I honestly believe this is not a crazy exercise. I have learned most of my lessons in life during those moments with myself.  Like long trips alone.  Or even short trips.  I have made it a practice to take down notes in my cellphone during these "fruitful" moments. And it surprises me when I try to read it a few days or weeks after.  Some even sounded to serious and too poetic that made me say, "Did I really write this?" Here is an example:

Fake Smiles: "When I try to dig deeper into my soul, its not sadness I see but disappointment.  I was disillusioned into an environment I thought was real.  But the reality as it turns out is full of cracks that's slowly being filled with overpowering depression.  The reality that is LIFE.  MY life as I struggle to be a person that I thought was slowly building up its own name but now is slowly being stained with emotionally straining truths of life.  But I did start anew, or I thought so.  I should have realized long ago that the start was not from zero but beyond it in the X-axis.  A negative digit I cannot fathom to imagine and balance out... It may be just materially degrading, but in the world I am in, its dragging me to a pit."

Don't get me wrong.  I am not that depressed.  It was just one of those moments that I had to breathe it out and the only way is to write it down.  I felt 100x time better after writing that.  And when I got to where I was going, I somehow got over the "problem" and went on with my day.  I'm like that.  I try hard to leave all my worries behind so I could work on what's in front of me.  Rarely do i let my personal problems affect my work.  But sometimes, my personal life gets affected by my work.  That is something I have to work on.  I have this thinking that my family or my friends would understand more than my boss or co-workers.  But that's true right?  

My weekend was great.  It was a great bonding weekend with my husband and the kids.  One of those times that you'd like to remember and dwell on when depressing days, such as the one I had above, takes place.

Venting out

from the keyboards of misis_pb

Q:  What can really ruin a good day?
A:   A grumpy husband 

You feel guilty for being late for work.  So you work your ass off for the first 1-2hours on your desk.  Then you realize, the husband who's in a far away land haven't sent any message for the last  12 hours so you start to worry.  You get so worried that you stop everything you're doing, ignore all the capital R-U-S-H stamped papers, and dial his number.  You then get to talk to him.  And find out that he just woke up and did not realize it was almost already too late. Then you tell him of your late night out and that you got and also lack sleep.  Then he asks you why.  Then you tell him, you should read your messages.  You say this to him because you took time to update him, 1)last night during the party; 2)early morning when you got home from the party; and 3)later in the morning when you were on your way to the office.  Then he annoyingly reacts saying "Not today.  You don't know what i went through".  Then you asks why he's reacting that way.  Then he answers again with the same line.  You then wonder what you said wrong that made him angry/annoyed.  Then you agree with yourself there is nothing wrong with what you said but you realize that you try to do something nice by calling and asking how he was.  Then you also start to get annoyed and feel bad.

Sh*t.  You think it'll ruin YOUR day if this happened to you?

Quite Inspiring

from the keyboards of misis_pb

 Its another one of those days when Apartment Therapy caught my attention and spent almost 1 hour going through their site.  Some great finds that inspired me:  

I LOVE how the vases' contrasting colors complement each other. 

This one, I love the pink wallpaper used.  

For this photo, what got my attention are the framed artwork.  Same artwork in different colors.  Nice.

"The early days of marriage are full of surprises - some nice, some nasty"


As the famous Forrest Gump line goes.. "Life is like a box of chocolate, you will never know what you're gonna get..."

No matter how much you think you already know your partner, there will always be surprises.  You may have had years together before the marriage, but its a lifetime we're talking about here!!

Like the jack in a box, let's try to see the fun side of every surprise.   It may seem nasty at start but Im sure there's a good and brighter side to it.  Besides, nasty is fun! :-)

Baby Oil's surprising use

from the keyboards of misis_pb


Polish Chrome with Baby Oil


Original Use: Keeping skin baby-soft.
Aha! Use: Polishing chrome. Apply a dab to a cotton cloth and use it to shine every-thing from faucets to hubcaps.
Reward: Shiny, happy surfaces from a medicine-cabinet staple. (Who actually owns chrome cleaner, anyway?).
