bonding sessions

It’s always a very pleasant feeling to bond with friends even if on a short period of time. The past weeks I had the opportunity to bond with my girlfriends whom I truly treasure for a lifetime.

First stop: sept 27. We always plan for our get together but ended up with just a plan. But this day came as a surprise, my 2 girlfriends schedule finally intersect and one of them had the heart to go all the way from Bataan just to finally make it to our night out after almost 11 months. We are in the usual couple’s night out; we usually bond together with our respective husbands who became friends along the way. Usually, its just 4some since one of us stays outside manila. But this night wasn’t, we became a 3some couples, finally complete. Food and laughter is always in the agenda topped with several reminiscing moments of JOLOGS back in college.

Second stop: oct 24. One of my close friends from the states went on vacation and spent ample yet quality time together. Back in my “professional-working days”, the three of us became closer and was the usual “tres marias” in our unit ward because we share a very unique friendship. The three of us varies in terms of personality, maybe that’s why we all complemented each other and despite distance the closeness of the friendship remained over time.

The last but ultimately not the least stop: oct 25-26, was with my sistahs-my dearly JERMS whom I had been through almost a decade of pure unconditional friendship. We were like teenagers ogling on some acquaintances while surfing the net, singing our hearts and literally lungs out over videoke, pigging out like hungry beast over shared sumptuous meal, and laughing the real laughter coming from deepest happiness. We may not have grandiose get together, formal gatherings, exclusive set-ups and the works. But what we have that others don’t have (most probably) is the real friendship more like a family that lies deep within. Not tainted by fancy gatherings, money talks, childish inklings but rather a priceless bonding that will lasts a lifetime.

As I was eagerly uploading our photos, I was very ecstatic indeed. A bonding sessions with good friends and priceless laughs, nothing can be more compared. Eventhough, most of the time its difficult to make us all physically be present in every bonding sessions, still we are one in spirit (ika nga nila). Despite time and distance, busy skeds and rendezvous, new priorities and new acquaintances, the real friendship still remains and words can’t express how proud I am to be part of this “sisterhood”. That is why il be expecting more bonding sessions and will eagerly take the task of organizing such without hesitations. All in the name of good, true and lasting friendship. BOW!

back in business

It feels good to be back from a not so long “blog hibernation”.

It’s a nice feeling to finally use my notebook and type again my blogs instead of school paperworks. It’s a nice feeling to read the insights of your fellow bloggers instead of due journals for school. its a nice feeling to finally interact with co-bloggers instead of watching in the sideline for quite sometime. And, it’s a really nice feeling to finally be back on my regular hobby, blogging!

I may not be your regular blogger who posts 3x/week and is updated 24/7 with all the happenings in the blogosphere. I am just your simple blogger who wants to share my crazy self out into the online world.

But I have made a “promise” to myself…. A promise that is not meant to be broken (I hope)

I promise myself to blog more and I try to promise myself to hit my 100th post just before I celebrate my anniversary here in blogger before the year ends.

I have learned many insights from co-bloggers, gained new acquaintances along the way and shared my sentiments and insights to the blogosphere. Blogging is my “online world and one of my heavens”. Nothing compares to the feeling of being able to express yourself into writing. That’s why I sometimes tell myself of how a frustrated writer I am. How I wish I could just trade my nurse’s vow into a writer’s pledge. But I cant simply do that… that’s why blogging is my only route to fulfill my heart‘s desire.

So, I say to ya all… barefoot’s back in business! Let’s keep it all coming, bloggers.

motherhen, ny1?

Early morning yesterday, I received a txt from one of my bestest friends, “I’m pregnant! Congratulate me! Yehey!” She’s six weeks on the way and her baby has a heartbeat. A couple of months ago, two of my close friends delivered a bouncing baby boy. And just a week ago, over coffee, my girlfriend told me I should get pregnant ASAP. Believe it or not, a month ago, I cried having the thought of getting pregnant but it was only a false alarm which gave me the biggest relief,ever.

Why am I scared of getting pregnant?! My hubby and have been together for 5 years and almost a year of legally married. And we’re both in the “right age and right time” to start our own family. So, why in the world do I still have it as an issue?! I stop and reflect on my self. And iv realized that, im very satisfied in being a wife but I am not ready to become a mother. Maybe perhaps, I feel I still have obligations with my parents, my family and to my career. We both feel the same. Plus, having a child of your own entails a lot of responsibilities that I feel is too hard to handle on my turf (for now). Im not saying I don’t want to have kids. Who doesn’t want to see their genes pass on to the next generation, ayt? But I guess, not yet for now… (pero sabi nga nila, pag ibibigay eh d ibibigay di ba?!, pero gusto ko ata made abroad ang junakis ko para nde na Philppine passport hawak nya! Hehehe)

We’re carefully planning our life together. We are enjoying our couplehood and slowly embracing the reality of being a parent soon. Most importantly, we are praying for God's plan for us. and if that plans comes along the way, we will accept it wholeheartedly. We want to make sure that we will offer the “best life” for our child. And we want to be ready when we have him/her in our life (emotionally and financially). I guess the money part comes easy. But the questionable part is the emotions and the reality of being a parent that is kinda hard to sink it. wadaheck, they always say it’s almost automatically instinct- that parental instinct kicks in. so, I say, kampai to that.

But then again, on second thought, Im really not yet ready to kampai to that… (is it bad?!)
Are you ready to become a motherhen, ny1?!
