City of Smiles

I've been meaning to post something here, but instead of writing it down and whatnot, everything is staying in my head. Literally and figuratively.

Hello from the City of Smiles.

I just got back from dinner and coffee and dessert with a high school friend I haven't seen in forever and her husband. It's nice to see people from my old life every now and then, and reminds me of good times and how life used to be back then. I really appreciated the effort she and her husband did to accommodate me even in such a short notice. And they're a really lovely couple. We did eat at Bob's, had dinner with their friends here in Bacolod, as there is an event here so some of their friends are actually performers for that event, had one of the best desserts there too, and good lechon, and then had good coffee and talk after that in a hotel nearby.

It's amazing how my out of the office work goes. I don't get a lot of down time since I have a schedule to meet, but, it is amazing how I just get an opportunity every now and then to see and meet people, or do things I won't normally do. Being away from Manila is a good way, not just to destress, but actually to re energize my self and figure things out away from everyone else. Tomorrow, I intend to do things I would enjoy, stay in, have fun on my own, work, destress, relax, take my time and just enjoy the breeze, the sun, the sky, the weather.

Meeting my high school friend earlier, was I think one of the best things that happened during this trip. After Cebu, the craziness and whatnot, I really need a good night out, clean fun, just catching up and eating (which by the way I really enjoyed A LOT tonight, and I can actually die because of food coma today, not even kidding). Been eating tirelessly the whole day, and I don't want to care about the weight I am gaining, because once again, I enjoy what I put in my mouth, and not because I am stressed. It was nice to be with different set of people, my friend, her husband and their friends, met people too, got acquainted. It was quite a lot, but, it was nice. Fun. Hanging out with her made me remember the crowd I am so used to hanging out all these years, and maybe I should stick the crowd I have been so used to.

The past few months have been nothing but shitty and crazy and all sorts in between. To be honest, I should be writing down each and every single detail of my life, but nowadays, time passes by with me just letting everything happen and not actually writing them down. I remember some, but most of them, just got drowned by all other things in my head. Despite the fact that everything has been shitty and crazy, I feel like I am okay. I feel like I am starting to find the balance I have been trying to find. The alcohol I can't remove yet.. but the rest I think I am starting to bit by bit. I still slip, but so far, after that Alabang incident, I know that I'm trying to make better choices for my life. I will try to write more often here, but for now. This is as good as it gets.

Here we go.

So I am trying to just write it out here. Whether I cry or smile or whatnot. Just for today, I would like to just keep writing what I think and feel. This won't be the last, but I am hopeful that this will help. Today, I found out that I got an A rating for my performance last year. I felt really proud for myself and for a moment I forgot I was lonely. And then I was about to pick up my phone and call. I realized, I don't have anyone anymore to share those with. I lost my bestfriend. So yeah. Felt really sad again. But I can't do anything about it. I finished two reports this week, very breezy. Not that I did not encounter any problems or issues. One I had to return to the field group team for validations, the other is still for review. I also made a questionnaire and a research design, and to be honest I should feel relieved and should feel good about myself. But not having to turn to or talk to, your person, it really makes a difference. A lot of good things or okay...

To whom it may concern

Hello,  I'm just writing down to put my thoughts and feelings into words, and like I say sometimes, when things come out, it becomes real. I guess, this time, this become real. I'm very very sad. It has been months since I have gone to therapy, and I have been in my saddest for quite some time. There are days I felt like giving up, days wherein day and night, all I think about is how I should die, or how to end my life, everything that is hard and hurting, and there are days I feel like I can do anything in this world, fearless and unstoppable.  Yesterday was once again a deal breaker. I felt stuffed and hurt, I felt I was not someone to be proud of, and I felt abandoned. Like I said, maybe it is for the best. I don't intend to win you over again, but I do intend to watch you from afar and just be there for you in case you need someone. I really want to be your friend, I really want to be in your life, whatever way or form. I feel like you're one of the few peopl...

Time Flew By.

I realized that I have not written anything here in forever, and it has been three years since my last note.  I couldn't believe that time flew by fast and that I have drank a cumulative amount of a whole bottle of wine today starting from lunch. I used to dislike wine, but here I am. I have officially drank 4 bottles of wine since May 23, 2020, a bottle of which I think I consumed that same night. Right now, I only have one and a half bottles left of wine, which means I either conserve wine or get myself two more bottles. Go figure what my choice would be.  So how am I? I think I'm better than where I was three years ago, but in some aspects, probably far worse. I have experienced so much the last three years, an emotional and verbal abusive relationship with the last relationship I posted here, started a good relationship with wine also, slowed down in terms of drinking habits, moved jobs, hated my dad more, missed him sometimes as well, lost both grandparents in my dad's...
