I've been trying to reconnect with my friends for the past couple of days. I'm making bawi because I've been a very, very negligent friend since I've became a mom.

Everyone meet Mean and Mich:



Nonetheless, I'm happy because nagkita ulit kami after a very long time. The last time we met kasi she's still dalaga pa and still studying her university degree. Although I admit it's a bit awkward din, because I feel na kahit gaano pa kami ka-close during high school, sa sobrang tagal na hindi kami nagkita parang naging strangers na rin kami sa isa't isa. Soooo weird!!! I think that's the very reason why you should A L W A Y S try to reconnect with your friends na matagal mo nang hindi nakakasama. I'm not sure sa ibang case ha, pero I just start to realize na when you become a mom, parang kahit hindi mo sinasadya, it's so easy to let a friendship to slowly drift away eh. Hindi sya cool. Do you agree?

Also, I just found an old friend on Facebook. Yes, FB! I love you again FB! I literally can't believe my eyes when I made kalkal my some sort of memory box, and found this 16-year old snail mail.


I swear, it brought back sooooo many memories. I'm super happy dahil kahit ilang beses na akong nag relocate, binaha, binagyo naitago ko pa pala to. =) Syempre I messaged her agad. Ang funny pa nga kasi she looks so different from what I remember (or talagang I'm not good at remembering faces), and medyo nag worry ako na baka isipin nya na stalker, scammer or baliw ako. Hahahahaha! Pero ayun, she confirmed naman that she was trying to find me online too and everything. I really hope to see her again (or be friends with her again rather), because parang sa case ni Honey medyo awkward and parang technically strangers na din kami dahil sa tagal naming hindi nagkita ulit. I think we just need more time and communication to work it out. =)

Lastly, I wasn't very successful in getting back in touch with my City friends (because I met them here in the metro that's why, haha) but I do hope that we'll meet again soon dahil kung may mga kaibigan na nakakakilala talaga sakin from head to foot eh sila na yun. I don't know how we ended up not having constant communication nowadays. Literal na hindi kami mapaghihiwalay when we were in our 20+'s eh. Well, for one thing siguro dahil sa isang office lang naman ang work namin dati. Now kasi most of them are still single pa and have different careers na. Hayyy. Maybe it's my hormones pero these are the times that I feel that the friendship is slowly drifting away ng hindi ko namamalayan. Geezzz, this feels like very adulting and adulting is very hard. Lels.

marriage, work, family... time flies without me knowing that I've became more and more UNAVAILABLE. My goal is to enrich my life by not letting life itself interrupt my relationship with my friends. I hope to make them a priority too.

Obviously, this post is scheduled nung Monday pa sana, but you know, same-same, life got sooooooooo busy. #majorboo 

Okay, I'll start with this fulfilling but really sad kwento: One of my largest projects on Upwork just ended recently. And by large, I'm talking about 6 digits. Not to brag or anything pero VAs or Virtual Assistants like me rarely earn that much eh. Until now may sepanx (separation anxiety) pa nga ako. Huhu.




Pero I'm proud to share din na at the same time, because of this project, I was able to buy myself a new computer chair (which is super duper comfy!), a brand new mid-range Samsung phone (may iwawala na ulit ako hehe), a new premium Uratex queen size foam (because naghihingalo na the regular Salem mattress that we bought few years ago) and two new Uratex Airlite pillows (straight from their Marikina branch). I've been meaning to buy those things for the longest time kaya reward kung reward myself ang peg ko every paycheck. Haha. Also, I was able to help din the husband in paying our bills and groceries and send enough money for my father back in Quezon province. To say that I love being a WAHM (work at home mom) is really an understatement. Thank you Lord for all these blessings. =)

Sana I can get huge projects pa more like this para matupad na ang ultimate dream ko na makapag honeymoon kami ni Papey Prinz sa Bali Indonesia. Lels.


Anyway, grabe the Airlite pillows from Uratex. I've never imagined myself sleeping in 1k+ worth of pillow! Hello, lalawayan ko lang naman yan.

Hahahahaha!

But you know what, it's worth it. Naniniwala kasi ako na you should invest din on things that you literally can't live without, and sleep is basically one of them. Medyo nakakahiya naman sa mga taong natutulog with barely nothing sa kalsada pero ganun talaga. I think pagkatapos ng lahat ng pagod at puyat namin ng asawa ko to be able to live comfortably and help our loved ones at the same time, we truly deserve those pillows. Deserve na deserve ko yun with all my laway glory.

Nyahahahahahaha!

Yes, I had to put smiley sticker to cover the kalat on my working nook. :p

I think that would be all for this post.
Happy mid-week!
