NCBA BATCH 89-93 HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

I'm sure a lot of you have watched the movie Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, well my high school reunion wasn't that big. Well, to begin with, it was just an idea that became a plan and became an event. One of my hs batch mate whom i still have contact with, suggested that we should have a small gathering with our hs friends. She's been out of the country a lot and she just wants to catch up with old friends. I liked the idea so i initiated a plan, and with the help of FRIENDSTER i was able to make bulletins and made contacts with some of them. At that time, i was really amazed how Internet can actually connect people. By checking out theirfriendster account alone i learned a lot of things about them, like what have they become after high school, or did they even attended college; and I'm surprised as to how a lot of them had turned out. A number of them are overseas, some are there for good and some are there just to work. I also found out that most of them really turned out successful. We have a gynecologist, dermatologist, an accountant, an entrepreneur, an actress/model, a singer (me included) and what have you. As for the others who had chosen to be a stay home mom and wife, i salute them because being one is not easy, i know 'cause i was once a stay homemom myself. Anyway, even though only few attended the gathering, it's as if i really learned a lot of things about them and i could say that it was a successful one. It was worth all the troubles and as early as now im already planning to have another gathering by the end of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I remember a line from Drew Barrymore's film called Riding in Cars With Boys as she and her son were arguing, she asked herself "When will this job ever end?" It is indeed a funny question because the truth is, a mother's job will never end. As long as your heart is beating and as long as you still have air to breathe, you will always and forever a mother to your child. There are no material rewards, no day-offs, no 13th month pay, not even a Christmas bonus. But the truth is, its one of the highest salaried job because the payment is pure love; and no amount of money in this world could ever compete that.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!!

Marrying Mr. Right

This will be my first time to really write down what im feeling, growing up i was never that kind of girl who will keep a journal or a diary to write down my daily activities or what im feeling for that matter. It is kinda hard for me to think of what to say, but i think the best way to do it is to write down what i really feel this very moment. As of writing this, me and my husband just recovered from a very dreadful fight that almost cost us our marriage. But we managed to sit down and talked about it. Though we havent really came up with a compromise yet but it looks very positive. This incident alone leaves me thinking is he my Mr. Right? I remember when i was younger i often day dream about marrying someone who can fulfill my dreams, someone who will put me in a pedestal and worship me for whatever reasons and i made a deal with God. I asked him to give me a sign, that whoever is the first guy to give me dozens of white long stemmed roses will be my Mr. Right. That thought stayed with me until i was old enough to have a relationship, I've had a series of failed relationships because i couldn't find that someone who can make my dreams come true. Im always looking for flaws, and if ever i see one that will immediately turn me off and suddenly fall out of love. Until i met a very normal guy, he is not even close to my dream guy; he was actually a far cry from my dream guy. But he loved me, he loves me for whoever, whatever i was. He loved every bad moods, tantrums and even my just woke up face. Back then, i thought that he was just one of those guys who will eventually be a part of my history of failed relationships. I gave it a try though, i thought well if he loved me that much maybe its gonna be worth a try. But being with him almost everyday, i became very fond of him and that fondness turned into likeness and that likeness turned into love. I woke up one morning looking at myself in a mirror and actually admitting straight face that I Love him, for what reason? i don't really know. I cannot come up with a good reason but i couldn't care less all i know is that i love this guy, and i couldn't face another day without him. That alone was a reason enough to finally give in to love. The rest, so to speak was history, i married this guy obviously and we are but a normal couple who will fight over little things and then kiss and make up after. I could very much say that we are happily married for almost four years now, with a three year old son who is a spitting image of me. Just last night while i was thinking of our marriage that deal and sign i had withGod crossed my mind, i t took me three years to remember that deal and that sign. Then i remember vividly that one afternoon when he visited me three days before i left for Malaysia. He gave me two dozens of white long stemmed roses. This memory send shivers down my spine, and i cried because after thinking that i married the wrong man; God actually made me realize that i have indeed married the right one and i was standing right next to the man of my dreams all along. He may not be wealthy, he might not put me in a pedestal but who would want that anyway? Isn't it that you would always want the one you love to be right by your side? so why would i enjoy being up in a pedestal? where i can be right beside him and have his arms wrapped around me? And with that being said I ask you, are you still dreaming for Mr. Right?
