Think Long-term

Am I brave enough to leave the borders of security and trust the universe?

Am I ready to leave the goods for more experience, knowledge and growth – the intangibles of life – which for me, is more rich, fruitful, fulfilling.

Big move; bold move.

I’m taking this chance for our future.

I’m excited and nervous.

Though you give me vague and insubstantial answers to my pressures, I have faith in you.

This faith should and must overcome my uncertainties.

I am open, willing and trusting.

We are in this together…forever.

Mornings @ 6

I’ve noticed a drastic change during my weekday mornings. Since the condo is still under renovation, my husband and I have been staying at their home for a good 3 weeks. This is advantageous and practical since it’s closer to my office than previous.

I would still set the alarm at 6:00am; getup 15 to 20 minutes later to do my rituals of getting ready for work. The difference is remarkable!

Before, when I came from the south, I would leave home w/o makeup, w/o brushing my hair, and with an empty stomach. I’d better be on the road before 7:00am to avoid heavy traffic. I would have to drive a good 1hour or more dropping my Mom off at her office in Makati, then speed to Ortigas with all the hassles of the road. By the time I get to the office, I look so harassed. Hehehe! Then after work, we have to let the rush hour traffic pass before heading home. This is about 10 in the evening. But that’s the way of life from the south. You get used to it and we’re just thankful for the safe travels.

Now, it’s just so convenient; I’m amazed! The past few weeks my stomach is full before leaving at around 7:30am and get to work by 8:00am more or less, with a driver. The most wonderful thing is that this time I get to put on my makeup and brush my hair. Stress free! Then after work, I get more time for sleep!!! Hmmm…wonderful!

Despite all that, I still miss home in the south especially my family, my bed, my stuff, my space. But it’s different now, and I am looking forward to new beginnings.

You are My Home

So happy waking up next to you and bidding the good night beside you.

But I guess we can’t have it all...

I yearn for you in these lonely hours, sitting on this chair all day. I’d rather argue with you than interact with this machine.

I want to go home! Home is wherever you are.
