Baby steps: Living your dream one step at a time
When I was in college, Shawie and I would stroll around SM Southmall and I would tell her, "I wish I had lots of money that I will be able to buy anything I want in this mall without being broke after."
Until this day, I would say that to any friend I'm with when I am at the mall. Most of the time, I tell it to Connie. Most recently, I said that line to my cousin Joyce while we were accompanying Jas who was window shopping for perfume and I was almost drooling while looking at the displays at Charriol and Tiffany's.
But since I am a big believer of dreams coming true and getting what I want has always been a trait of mine, I know for a fact that someday I will be able to stroll in a mall and SHOP. Not window shop, but to literally SHOP till I drop.
I've been viewing my past entries and I read my
2006 Wishlist which I wrote in Feb of this year for my birthday. Out of the 10 items I wished for, I actually was able to get more than half of them in a span of 8 months.
1. House and The OC DVDs - CHECK!
2. Havaianas - CHECK!
3. iPod - CHECK!
4. Postsecret book - CHECK!
5. Jewelry - not yet
6. Laptop - not yet. But I'm currently using Cholo's laptop. ;)
7. Starbucks Mug - not yet
8. Nike rubbershoes - CHECK!
9. Digicam - not yet
10. Wedding mags - I got 2 from Archie!
5.5 out of 10. I have to say that it ain't so bad given the fact that just 8 months have passed. Like they say,
"Reach for the stars!". Or like Oprah said,
"Dream big!".Daydream Believerby The MonkeesOh I could hide 'neath the wing
Of the blue bird as she sings
The six-o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The shaving razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean
To aDaydream believer
And aHomecoming queen
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, our good times start and end
Without all i want to spend
But how much baby do we really need

It's the thought that counts
August 30, 2006
For the 2nd time, I tried to organize a surprise birthday party for Trexyl. For the 2nd time, I failed. The operative word here is TRY. At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts. Let's see if I can have a 3rd try by next year. That is if Trexyl will still be here in Manila. Or maybe I might be in New York by 2007. ;)
Since the surprise party didn't push through due to a number of reasons, first being the availability of SNO and second is the availability of the birthday celebrator herself, we just had dinner at Bedspace Greenbelt. Trexyl ordered pasta while Marianne and I shared a bbq baby back rib and had vanilla creme brulee for dessert.

Post-celebration of Trexyl's party. Like they say, natutuloy ang plano kapag walang plano. So for this day, we decided to be spontaneous. And since I didn't have a gift for her yet...
Trexyl: gusto mo movie

Maan: Only God knows how much I Love you!
Trexyl: wahahah
Maan: hahaha :))
Trexyl: cge, tayo na...
Maan: easy girl. :P
Trexyl: hahahah
So we went to Powerplant to watch The Devil Wears Prada which we enjoyed immensely. After that, I brought her home and that's how our first movie date ended. Trex, next year mami-miss natin ito. =)
To end this really mushy entry, I dedicate this song for you (and Jedd) and me (and Red).
THAT'S ALL
I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all, That's all...
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all, That's all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love even time can't destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all, That's all.
