I am a big fan of Sex and the City, an American T.V. series which was broadcast on HBO from 1998 until 2004. But I actually watched the entire six seasons just last year on DVD and I totally love it. Maybe because I like Carrie’s kind of life and her unique fashion sense. And of course, I am dying to have a job like hers. While I was still working in Bangkok, I usually arrived at my condo around 6-ish but even though I was tired and exhausted, I always make it a point to watch at least one or two episodes per day. Oh, how I love the goils, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha!
Today, I was browsing the net and found a site that directed me to Sex and the City and I got these lines based from the series which was narrated by Carrie.

“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”

“When a relationship dies do we ever really give up the ghost or are we forever haunted by the spirits of relationships past.”

“As we speed along this endless road to the destination called who we hope to be, I can't help but whine, 'Are we there yet?'”

“If you are single there is always one thing you should take out with you on a Saturday night... your friends.”

“Balls are to men what purses are to women.”

“Miranda was a huge fan of the Yankees. I was a huge fan of being anywhere you could smoke and drink at two in the afternoon without judgment.”

“Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.”

“Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you. ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone?”

“After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.”

“So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes.”

Ok, there goes! I would love to watch the t.v. series again but what with my tight schedule and other priorities in life. I reckon I will have the luxury of time this sem-break. Anyhoo, it’s a long weekend for me since there will be no classes on Monday. Now is the only time I get to blog again and browse the net. I just get so tired during week days that I almost always immediately retire to bed right after I prep up for another day’s work. Right now, I am quite adjusted in my job and I just want to say thank you to all my co-teachers in the pre-school dep. in helping me out when I was still on the process of learning the ropes of this and that. I know there’s still some growing up for me to do. Ivy is still a work in progress, ayt?
Hmm..I am now in Bukidnon and taking my time surfing the net and reading books. We’re supposed to go down today at Capcom to attend a reunion since tita Uly arrived from Switzerland but I am not so sure if we will since Papa Z’s quite busy with some important matters.
My brother and I had quite a long chat 2 nights ago and he’s been telling me about this guy named Cori. (grandson of Sarah) Anyway, my brother wants to pair me off with this guy who he aptly describes as a guy who is full of life and he added that Cori is good for me since I am the opposite of him, and that there will be a some state of balance. Hahaha! I can really sense that my brother is so excited and all and it makes me smile knowing that he is still interested in my so-called droning love life.haha! I just shrug it off but he’s been asking me about this and that, if tita give the e-mail and some details of ‘tis n tat’. Haha… Cori is a 27-year-old Jewish guy who is full of life. A little detail I know of him and I am sure that my brother will be asking me again the next time we will chat.

Oh well, I am not really in a rush. I know I am not getting any younger but having someone is not really one of my top priorities right now although I admit it’s always nice to have someone to talk with, to go to the movies or parties and simply to grow up with. But being single and free is just so awesome and amazingly perfect for now. There are some few good men who text and all that but no one has captured my heart yet.

Maybe in God’s perfect time… :)

I guess this is all for now. Be blogging more when I am not on a BUSY BEE mode.

Besos y abrazos everyone,
Ivy

retreat

The retreat we had yesterday really helped me a lot in the long view of my personal and social life. The journey was truly wonderful and inspiring as well. In life, we have to be still for awhile so that we can listen to the inner voice from within. Also, it is in our moments of silence that God will hear us. :)

So, I need not to worry about anything that bothers me. I just have to open my eyes with excitement and start each day with wonder and awe. Life is a matter of attitude. I must see to it that I am vibrating positive energies and that I will always see the glass half-full.

The priest also underscored about touching the Holy thru ordinariness, thru self-esteem and thru friendship. There’s the saying that goes, “The world becomes more beautiful when your family treats you as a friend and your friends treat you as family.” When we are temporarily lost sometimes, it is our friends that will find us and bring us back to the right track. So, I want to thank all my super friends and my family for all the love they have showered to me.

Family—I love my family so much. It is through them that I still have the strength to go on and face my fears and psychological ghosts head-on. We carry our family wherever we go; we cannot leave them, physically yes but psycho-emotionally, NO!

The priest also played the song from Il Divo entitled “Mama”. I already heard this song many times since we had a copy but yesterday was the only moment that I truly absorbed it and tears rolled down my cheeks. I just remember my younger days when my Mama would bring me to and fro to school and how happy and excited I was whenever I see her waiting for me at the waiting area. You know, I always have this sparkling glow of excitement in my eyes whenever I see her and there was this one instance way back in kindergarten when she came in late to pick me up. I wailed and burst into tears because I thought she was gone. Oh, how I miss my younger days. I cried when I heard the song because there are some moments when I give more attention to my father than to my mother and there are instances when I don’t pay heed to her good advices. . I am just so so sorry…

I dedicate the song “Glowing Inside” and “Mama” to my ever dearest Ma Fin..

Glowing Inside

Happy, to let you know
You make me glow
I feel so good, it's true
So glad that I have you
You love me so
Now all is bright

I'll always thank you for the glow
And thank you for the joy
Thank you for the love you give to me
I'm glowing, glowing inside

With your love shining through
Thank you for everything you do
I'm glowing inside because of you

Remember, my growing years
They're filled with joy
Because you're there for me
You cast my fears away
You wipe those tears
You gave me strength each day

I thank you for the glow
And thank you for the joy
Thank you for the love you give to me
I'm glowing, glowing inside
With your love shining through
Thank you for everything you do
I'm glowing inside because of you

Who knows of what tomorrow brings
My glowing wings can make me fly
I'll reach and now I touch the sky
Because of you I'll sore up high
So I must..thank you…

Mama

..and I know you believed
and i know you had dreams
and I'm sorry it took all this time to see
that I am where I am because of your truth..
and i know you believed in all of my dreams
and I owe it all to you, Mama :)

I know this post is such a slack tart of late.There were so many things that happened during the past few days and I am just so glad right now that it’s over and I can pretty much relax, sit back and enjoy life as each day unfolds right before my googly, wiggly eyes. Hahaha! Anyway, the days are passing relatively quickly this year and I can’t believe that it’s almost sem break. And then after that, it’ll be Christmas once again. Oh well…

For the past few days, I was so busy prepping up for my students’ field demo presentation. Teacher Jhie and I made the props laboriously. Since the theme is ethnic, we decided to have the Tiboli dance. We had a dressmaker who made the costume and it was really nice. The kids look so amazingly cute on their attire. Then we also had accessories (necklace, anklet among others) for the girls which we thrifted at some store in the market. Making the wings for the boys was very tiring since we had to pluck the feathers one by one and stick it at the pattern. But all were done in the name of love for the kids. We want them to look good and cute during the presentation. Too bad I wasn’t able to take some photos. It’s always been like this during presentations. What with the super handful of kids to watch over in class! It would be difficult to let them settle down for awhile for a photo session. Hahaha… It’s suppose to be a shoulda-woulda take a photo moments.


I need to pamper myself after all the hard work I’ve done during the past few “quite stressful” days. But I am happy with everything and I know I’ve walked an extra mile in making this event for the kids a truly memorable one for them and for their parents as well. I also want to thank my co-teachers for their suggestions and also for guiding me on what to do. Being new in the department, I know I still have a loottttt of things to learn. I’ve done some mistakes over the past few months but I am willing work it out.

Anyhoo, I am going out by myself tomorrow and maybe I’ll go to the bookstore and check out the latest books, then maybe have my hair done and then a good massage would prolly cap my day.

Thank you God for a day different from yesterday!

Besos everyone,
Ivy
