Because we're sadomasochists at heart, we tend to dive into the things that are wrong from the very beginning. We pray and hope that one day, it will turn out to be the right thing for us. We think that the reason why people are against it, is because they're just jealous or they don't know any better.
We fall for the taken. We fall for our girl friend's ex, or worse, the best friend of our ex. We fall for the bad guy. We fall for someone whom our family dislikes. We fall for the person our family doesn't trust. We fall for someone who is so wrong for us. Some things are not even worth fighting for, when you know you're potentially ruining something that shouldn't be touched in the first place.
We end up fighting our hearts out for so long, thinking that in the end, our hard work and efforts will pay off.
Wrong.
What is wrong from the beginning, is wrong for a purpose. It's God's way of telling us: stop, and don't even think about it. Would you honestly want to experience a heart break, which is of your own doing?
Most times, we make excuses. We tell ourselves, "matitigilan ko din to"; it becomes an addiction, and grows into something unstoppable, until we just keep telling ourselves that one way or another, something's gonna happen to make it stop, or rather, it could be meant to be, since you're still dancing together.
Wrong again.
I've been there; liking or dating the person whom I'm not supposed to be with; telling myself that I'm only human, and I'm allowed a maximum number of mistakes, or that I only live once, or that hey, I'm so tired of being good, so might as well be bad just this once; I've been there -- thinking that this will only be a one-time thing, chucking my conscience elsewhere, because I think to myself, this will not go on.
But would you really want to dig that grave for yourself? To be the one who could potentially ruin relationships - friendships, romantic relationships, and worse, marriages? Could you carry it around in your conscience? Maybe for a time yes, but in the long run, things will eventually blow up in your face. Trust me, the girl who married the wrong person, because I never listened to the people who care about me.
Masarap ang bawal, ika nga nila. But don't ever make a permanent decision for a temporary emotion. Our hormones and feelings are always fleeting and unreliable, and all of our decisions have corresponding repercussions in the future.
So don't start something, that isn't even right from the start; don't play with fire; don't think that you're strong enough to handle something, which you know, you won't be able to resist soon; don't fight what your gut is telling you when it says "stop, think, and turn around".

It's Been a Year
I remember perfectly how it all went down; how an argument led to calling up my mom at 1 in the morning to ask her to pick us (me and Laela) up at our townhouse in Project 6.
I vividly remember how he tried to stop me from leaving; how I said I just needed space, and that this was just a temporary thing.
I remember how he called me lazy; how he got so pissed about me not being able to serve him lunch, simply because I was exhausted from work and from taking care of our daughter; how my efforts have always gone to waste, whenever his expectations of how a good wife is supposed to be, were not met.
I remember how I asked my 'then' boss that I had to have my shift schedule adjusted, because I was emotionally distraught; only to wake up in the middle of the night, to an empty house, with no signs of the person you depended on to watch over your kid once you left for work. I remember how I called my bosses up, to tell them that I had to go on leave because he was gone.
I remember how finally, I had the chance to leave, and that I didn't think twice about packing up. How I called up my father-in-law and told him I'm done, and that I couldn't do this anymore.
I can't believe it's been a year since all of this happened. I can't believe that the reality of being separated has graduated to a year. What's most ironic is how our anniversary/monthsary falls on the 27th of each month... and that exact date would be the day when I'd leave.
I always thought that marriages were set in stone; that the commitment you have is for life, and that those vows, though broken, should still be followed through, "til death do you part"; but how can an abused person live through more years of pain? How can one stand a person who refuses to love you the way you should be loved?
I might be judged for the life I live now, that I simply followed my parents' footsteps, and dove into the statistic of the dysfunctional and separated; but again, I stand by my decision, not out of pride, not out of some selfish intent, but rather, out of love -- love for my daughter, and love for myself.
So here I am, celebrating my first anniversary alone at the store, out of that wretched place I used to call home.. indeed, the greatest life lessons are learned the hard way, but nevertheless, learned, and mastered.

A Big Change
For 4 years, I worked as a night shift practitioner for IBM. I worked in a routine-filled environment, always thinking that I would stay here, far longer than I expected.
The moment I graduated, I was asked to work out of necessity. I never had the time (or luxury) to take a breather, get some rest, or to have some vacation to enjoy my youth before I had to start paying for my own bills. I grew up too fast, I think, but it was because I had to help around the house. God knows we haven't been the most financially-blessed family there is.
I never mapped out my plans, what my dreams were, or what I envisioned myself to be in the next 5 years. I never had some sort of projection as to what I saw myself in.
I just needed money, and I needed it fast; so lo and behold, my sister, who was already an employee in IBM, asked me to try it out. So I did. Got hired immediately, and started before I knew it.
May 19, 2009 was my exact hire date. Started out with BMS Learning, then 2 years later, moved to L&K ILO for a year, then a year later, was moved to Brand ILO... my final team before I make this big career move.
From working in the BPO industry for 4 years, I never thought I'd switch to fashion/retail/sales/marketing. I really did not expect this. I just stumbled upon the posting in Job Street, that said "Fashion Consultant", and actually applied for it out of sheer whim. The interviews happened, and after weeks of doubting and waiting, voila.
I'm now heading the Stuart Weitzman store in SM Aura. From being a practitioner in the BPO industry, I now find myself being an instant manager and head of a team. I've also been speaking with Brand Ambassadors in preparation for our store's opening. I'm finally doing public relations, one that I actually studied for, for 4 years in Ateneo. I'm finally doing what I love the most -- speaking with people, and being able to be the fashionista that I am. And the best part is, I'm dealing with SHOES -- shoes! Shoes, which I love the most.. which is my ultimate fashion "luho", next to make up of course.
After 4 years of being a vampire, I finally get to be normal. Finally get to sleep beside Laela at night. She would finally wake up next to me, and I'll be the first person she sees when the sunlight hits our room.
All this, is such a big change -- both scary and exciting at the same time. I'm moving out of my comfort zone, and moving into something that's very new to me... I know though that somehow, things are finally falling into place.. and that God's making a way for me to have a better life.
I pray I do well, and that I succeed in this new field. I'm very excited, and hopeful, and scared, and among other things, just thankful that I was given this opportunity. A lot of responsibility has been handed over to me, but I guess they saw something in me that made me right for the position.. :)

[Im]patiently Waiting
Galatians 6:9
The art of waiting. It's always difficult, if not, the most frustrating thing we'd have to experience. I'm a self-confessed impatient person. I tend to perform impulsively, just because I'd like to get things done in a snap. I like deciding on things quickly. I like getting results quickly.
Which is probably why God continues to try and test my patience, in order to mold me into a more patient person. They say, 'patience is a virtue'...which is very hard to have. I like being in control all the time, yet He continues to push me to wait, and to just trust that everything will be okay.
Lately, this is what I've been experiencing - the art of waiting.
Waiting for positive results.
Waiting for what my calling is, career wise.
Waiting for who really is meant for me, if there is even one.
Though I would understand myself, simply because I know how much pressure I get, I know that worrying and being impatient about things won't really improve the status quo.
I've been taught lately to just be still and to know that He is starting to lay the foundation of what I know will become the turning point, yet again, in this stage in my life. Lo and behold, after months of grueling, frustrating, days and days and months of waiting, I got a response. Something that I had not expected. And just last night, another opportunity presented itself to me, and I honestly don't know what to do about it, but to grab it, whatever outcome it could give.
From what I have been experiencing lately, I'm happy that I have been tested a lot...because now I know, with the results that I'm getting, that all this, has become a great testimony of faith, of believing that God does want the best for me. Lately, I've also been feeling a sense of peace... little by little, I'm starting to not feel so alone anymore... that I'm enjoying my singlehood, by focusing my energy more on strengthening my career, and on building a good foundation for my family, most especially for my daughter.
All this that's about to change in my life excites me more than it scares me. I had no idea that in 2013, I would have a totally different view about where my life will be headed.. and I'm more than thankful that God has been there. :)
God does, and will surprise you. In the most unimaginable, unfathomable way possible. Trust me, He has done so. :)
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

The Roadmap to My Heart
You think I'm complicated, when in reality, I just have a list of standards that don't match yours. I enjoy flings, temporary fleeting feelings of happiness, but only to a certain extent. I know when to stop. I enjoy being wooed. I like receiving flowers. I like being able to give. Most of the time, actually.
I like to be kissed. A lot. to be cuddled. to be told once in a while that I look and smell good.
I like to hold hands. In private. And subtly, In public.
I like to be surprised. I've always wanted someone to surprise me during my birthday. I enjoy long walks. I like to be alone. So when I ask for some time by myself, please, give it to me.
I like being around guys. Not because I'm a shameless flirt, but because I'm just one of the boys like that. I enjoy drinking, but not getting wasted. I like to drown my sorrows in food and coffee; so if you'd like to cheer me up, bring me some iced white chocolate mocha, or some caramel coffee frappe with hazelnut syrup.
I can be mean, but I'm such a softy. An apology can instantly melt my heart. As long as you mean it.
I like to be needed, but not to be used.
I need you to love me as much as I love my daughter. Or even more.
I like to be pampered, even for just a little. I've always wanted to be treated to some island getaway.
I like trying new things with people, as long as it doesn't involve eating worms or crunchy crickets. Or orgies. Or threesomes. No.
I like to pray. And to talk about God, even when I'm not the most Godly woman you'd meet -- because -- I curse. I get road rage when I drive. I have a tendency to become a backseat/passenger seat driver. I easily get pissed when I'm hormonal. I easily cry as well.
I have a crazy-ass family.
I can be quite bi-polar. One day I'm extremely optimistic, the next, I can be so sad.
I'm very expressive. I say what's on my mind, so if I end up offending you with my blunt honesty, I'm sorry.
I say sorry a lot. But I always mean it.
I like letters. Cards. And the old-fashioned way of being courted.
I'm obviously not a virgin, but please don't treat me like I'm not one. I still can be old-fashioned and wholesome.
I enjoy doing childlike things once in a while. We all need that.
I post too many pictures and videos of/with my daughter. Just because I'm her number one fan.
I will end up posting about you, should you do so well with winning me over.
I've been so used to telling myself not to fall or not to like someone, so forgive me if I become too careful at first.
I'm a package deal. You get me and my daughter, or you don't get me at all.
I want my family to like you, and you to like them. I have had it with relationships that have to be kept secret, or that have to be tweaked to match their standards.
I hope you'd be financially stable. I can't have another anchor in my life.
I miss traveling... so taking me out for a really nice vacation would really really really mean a lot.
I like to shop. So when I do, please don't pressure me to hurry up.
I love shoes & makeup. Don't stop me from buying more :)
When I tell you exactly how I feel, please don't get angry. I'd rather be straight, than to hide my emotions, and explode unexpectedly one day.
I love to sing. In the shower. More so when I drive. So when I hit a high note, and it sounds awfully wrong, just laugh at me.
I love to eat. My usual food cravings when I've hit my time of the month are Japanese food and pizza.
I love to watch movies. Re-watch movies that I love. Like Clueless, Mean Girls, White Chicks, and Eurotrip. I love to lounge around and watch my favorite TV series as well. Bring me PLL, TVD, Suits, TWD, 90210, and True Blood, any day.
I usually can't go out. So if you'd like to see me, visit me at home. :)
I will flirt. Shamelessly flirt. But only with you. :)
I need you to be completely honest, even if the truth would hurt. To be respectful, even if I'm acting like a total b*tch. To be loving, even when I'm difficult to understand. To be brave when I'm scared. To be able to accept who I was, who I am, whom I will become, and whom I'll never be. To embrace my situation fully. Tell your parents/family about me. To be so damn proud that you won me over.
I wonder where you are. I know I haven't met you yet, I think. If you do exist, I hope He intended for us to meet. I'm in no rush, but I have to admit, sometimes it does get lonely too (I'm human, sue me.) So whoever you are... here are just some of the things you need to know about me. I wonder who's actually up to the challenge. :)

Decisions, decisions
Being helpless has never felt this good. I know it might sound sadistic in nature, but really, it's what pushed me back to praying more, and to having more faith in Him. Lately, I've been finding myself having to make life decisions. Career. Relationships. Friendships. the list goes on and on and on... thing is, we can never really control the wheel of our lives. We could steer it at some point, but ultimately, it's still up to the Big Boss out there where He'd want to take us.
I've always believed that God won't give you a problem that's too big, or too overwhelming, that you won't be able to handle. He'd equip you with a support system, and with help that we never expect to have. More often than not, He'd surprise us when we least expect it.
And lately, that's what's been happening to me.
I may not be an expert on faith, or hope, or on Christianity.. but I can be certain that somehow, things are starting to fall into place. My patience has been tested, to the point that I've literally tried to give up and to just think that the universe hated me with a passion... but maybe He's just been waiting for me to come back all along.. I've been too proud and too focused on my problems, that I failed to recognize that having a little bit of faith can go a long way.
So for now, I know I can only pray, and hope for the best... He knows what my heart desires, and He knows that ultimately, I just want what's best for me, my daughter, and my family.
I hope this time, my prayer aligns with His will. :)

Facts of Life at 25
1. You will get heartbroken.
