The Pros

My dears, I'm sorry to have stood you up with the hanging other half. (Can't believe I haven't blogged since January!) But then, I never could have written about it even if I willed myself to (and i have a remarkable will, mind you). No one could have done it, not with the searing pain of a brokenhearted fool...

*listening to: That's what you get when you let your heart win, woooh!

Haha, enough of the drama. This is about the Pros for gosh' sakes! I may not present to you the original Pro situation, but I'm sure, with God as my witness, that this is, undoubtedly, what He wanted me to see. :)

After the break-up, I was practically on the floor groping for something sturdy enough to pull myself up (hey, not literally okei? hehe). And yeah, there are my friends and family, but one couldn't just brush off something that you've made up your mind to have--though it's bordering on stupidity at times. See, I was trying not to be angry, coz I hate the feeling. But eliminating the anger only opens you up to more pain. That's why it was so hard. (Thinking back, I wasn't even able to eliminate the anger altogether.) Now, the least I can do is to not place my cash in an ill-equipped bank (esp. one that can't seem to make solid decisions on where to invest). ;P

And that's it--I was able to grasp on something. *yey!* First of all, FB. You don't know the greatness FB has done for me. I was able to talk to my long-lost Riyadh friends again! My, how I miss those girls. I miss the high school perkiness and innocence. I miss the all-girl slumber parties. And I miss the all-original chicken shawarma amidst the sea of abayas.

Second, I'm getting prettier. haha, joke! ;P I had gotten in touch with my fashionista side. I'm starting to exude the makings of a shopaholic! With good taste, of course. ;) And no one to comment on how different I look! It's so nice to be free!!!

Third, I found myself wanting to visit every island in the archipelago. hahaha! I wanted to go to Puerto Galera (my wish was granted last weekend) *It was my first time at Galera, believe it.*; to Caramoan (I wish I will be able to tag along with the NOC peeps); to Anawangin (with my high school buds next week!); to Mt. Pinatubo (with the people at work); and last but definitely not the least, to El Nido!!! (I wish it would be another 1155 Barkada trip.)

Fourth and lastly, I ventured into small business. See, I've already read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and it pretty much made a huge impression on me. I'm not going to stay dependent on my current job, and I'm gonna get out of this rat race! *hell yeah!* At first, I was only reselling the items from the US via multiply (stocks are from my mom's friend). But this popped out into my mind: Why not get my own stocks? I immediately put the idea to my mom and dad (It got a lot of discouraging remarks, mind you, because I'm going to have to ask a big big favor from my aunt in the US), but in the end, they gave up with the negative talk (it would take a lot to dampen my spirits), and finally consented to call my tita lollie. Ever since, we've been emailing each other about the items I want purchased, the bargains, the nice finds, etc. I'm so excited, can't wait for my package to arrive! :))

Here's my online shop's site: scentsandsacs.multiply.com I'm gonna post the new items as soon as it is shipped and currently over the oceans. ;P

Amidst my busy days constructing visual basic tools, checking on my site, and browsing for great finds on the net, I didn't even notice until now that people around me are giving me more attention than they used to. I guess that's what I failed to remember these past few months... It's actually inside out, not outside in. The body language speaking here. ;)

So you see? God knows what He's doing all along. And I couldn't be more thankful. :)
