The year that was. (2013 edition)

This was supposed to be done like more than a week ago, but since I can’t get my lazy fat ass to do anything when I am home, I might as well do it while I am here sitting at work, nothing much to do. 

I cannot say that 2013 was a bad year for me, but I can’t say otherwise either. 2013 had its strong ups and downs, and I am still thankful for everything despite all the hardships I had to go through. 

There would probably four highlights of my year.

I finally saw Shinhwa. Thanks to a few people, I finally saw them in the flesh. It was one trip I will never forget, since I saw Shinhwa, and it was the first time I went to a solo trip. Met a few people, but nonetheless, it was a solo trip, ticked off my bucket list already. Each one of them has their own personal charm and that as a group they are indeed legends in their own right. Seeing them on their 15th year was pretty special and awesome too!

I finally saw CN Blue, upclose and also in a concert. I saw Yonghwa’s everlasting frizzy hair while fixing his ever beloved gift of a microhpne stand from one of his fanclubs. It was also an experience I will never forget as I have tried events and stuff but I don’t think it is for me. I won’t even do it for a fee. Hahaha. But it also marked that milestone that I have seen all my bias groups(SS501, Big Bang, Shinhwa and CN Blue). I don’t think I will be going to places again to see any one of them anytime soon. (I hope I don’t eat my word on this).

I got my heart shattered this year. Yet again. After 3 and a half years. Let’s not go too much into details as I don’t know that much myself. But I decided not to think about it anymore as much as I can, and decided not to know intentionally the reasons why. The other party isn’t ready, and may never be ready so I have given up that hope of understanding. Though, I am just a human and there are days I still think about it, but dwelling too much is something I am trying not to do this 2014. I will lie if I say I don’t miss the person or I have moved on or let go already. But, I am much better. I still love and miss but I also surprise myself with the gravity of such. I hope one day it comes to a point that I don’t get affected as much as I am, and that, I don’t feel pain anymore or sadness.

Lastly, I finally have moved on in terms of career. Decided to quit my old job, and moved on to a new one I have always wanted to try. Been here almost a month already and so far things have been okay. It isn’t as busy, actually it is super lax and tons of downtime, but I am learning so much, and meeting new people too. The business is also very interesting as people switch to different things whenever they can. Before I moved, this was actually my dream job. And now I am here, I have finally ticked this one off my bucket list. Will have to go and find a new dream/goal which hopefully I can attain again in a few years or so. Pay isn’t as good, but experience wise, I feel this is something good as I will have to deal with my money issues with frugality and much thought and care. I hope that by the end of this year. I will be wise with money too, since I am not very good with expenses and money.

For 2014. I look forward to so many things and experiences with the job mostly, but also, I look forward to the self discovery I will take as I am about to be independent for a couple of months. I am not sure how to handle it, but I look forward to gaining experiences, learning from mistakes, and standing up after a big blow or a fall. Also, I have started to gain back my old relationship with God, and I feel that this is something I should also work on for 2014. 2014 may be more frugal year for me, maybe no trips for me, but I know that God has something in store for me this year. Technically I will be having trips, since my job requires field work (which I am seriously excited about), and will learn how to backpack and be frugal with travels too. J

Overall, 2013 isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It maybe gave me one of the biggest blows, but God still showered me with something I will forever be grateful for. J


Happy new year everyone! Wishing everyone a fulfilling and meaningful year ahead of you. Let us learn to be grateful and thankful, and maybe, pay it forward too.

I have to admit, when I saw the trailers in ABS, I knew it would be such a craze, a big hit, and a good one. It started late nights, then when I was about to watch, was moved before 6PM. Cruel, right? Very much indeed. I tried my best to get hold of a DVD copy of the Korean version with subtitles in English, ALAS, I did. Thanks to my ever loving bestfriend. We did find a very good copy. I was so eager to watch, because I have missed a lot. And, after watching for 1 and a half days. Literally, from 11:30PM of Saturday, July 11, to July 13, 2009 at 5:30AM, with only 4 hour sleep. The break I had was peeing and bath. Rather than that, nothing. I ditched all my plans for Sunday. I just wanted to cut myself some slack and just do nothing. I wanted to separate myself, even for at least just this weekend. For me to rethink, reorganize, and reflect on everything. Apologies to my dearest God, because I didn't attend mass and missed the practice for Lord's day. I can't help it, the B...

Looking back 2009.

http://marge0256.multiply.com/journal/item/119/2008. I read my blog (the link above) when I got back this morning from a hella crazy night. Reading my past blog, I know I had to blog once again. It's been a while since I blogged anything. Haha. This year, was g enerally so so. Had my highs and lows as well. And I want to share it in detail. Seriously, in detail. I ended 2008 breaking u p with Kat. For thos of you who don't know, I had an almost 1 year official relationship with a girl AGAIN. And of course, after the break-up, we were still in contact so technically, we werent completely over each other. I started 2009 with high hopes o f us getting back together, and us fixing things. But instead, we separated ways after a few months. We celebrated our anniversary yes, but after that, I guess it was not meant to be. As of now, we still talk sometimes, but nonetheless, a lot has changed, for her and for me. She's moving to a different department, a department I highly recom...

The past two months that led up to this.

One of the things I hate besides betrayal/lying is feeling being used by someone, for reasons very obvious. This is why whenever I get into any kind of relationship, I assess and ask what is it that I really want or the other person wants from the relationship. And I make it sure and clear. I am very bad at trusting people, but once I do trust, anything lesser than that is disappointing and betrayal, still. This time, it makes me feel worse. Not that I was just betrayed, but I was even used. And when I say used, yes, physically used. And fuck that shit. Seriously, I don't think I can ever forget that. Up until I type this, there is a bit of hope that it isn't the case, but time and time again, I see it is just that. So a couple of months ago, I was surprisingly in a very odd set up with a guy I barely know (yes, again, I know). And the difference with this is that the guy is a good friend, or so I thought, of a really good friend. It started out as innocent, with us just hang...
