Finally!

OK. No more time for excuses. I have completely abandoned this blog for ages, and saying I have no time to update is purely rubbish. I have time, plenty of it. I've just been catatonic for the most part that instead of sitting down to put life into words, I choose to just stare off into space and idle away. Not really the healthiest activity.

So, mid-year updates begin now. I can't believe it is already August and still, I have no concrete plan to rule the world. Shame. Seriously though, my life is still the same as it had been for the past how many months, just sprinkles of action here and there but overall, plain uneventful. But it's been a happy first half of the year. Let's see how 2010 rolls out 'til the finish line.

The early part of 2010 was spent hibernating on the beach. J and I spent tons of time together, we were literally inseparable 24/7, which I think is pretty cool. It's like hanging out with your best friend every single day, except that of course, there's a lot of googoo-eyes, cheesy lovey dovey in between (which I'll spare the details of). I think our past 6 months were spent just being attached to each other's hip - from spending the holidays in '09 back in Manila, all the way to summer on the beach.

Summer in Boracay was glorious, albeit the tons of work that came with it. J managed to find a job on the island, which was an absolute blessing. I still think of ways to poke people's eyes with a pencil while at work, but it's just a matter of getting used to that made me survive, methinks. Stress Management is not an easy course to take. Then mid-summer, J received a wonderful opportunity of flying abroad for work, which has been his dream. I think it's all in God's plan for him, so as difficult as it was, I let him be. I kept telling him that being abroad was one of the defining moments in my life, and I want him to experience the highs and lows that come with being in a foreign land by yourself. It builds a different kind of strength, and it opens your mind up to so many things. I honestly think this experience will do him a whole lot of good.

July just passed by, which means I turned another leaf over. The realization that we're not getting any younger gets more and more haunting with every added year, and it really is time to finally carve out my path once and for all. As for me, it's still island living, although I've been trying to sort out life and what I really want from it. The other good thing about this month is being home for quite some time, spending a lot of quality time with family, friends, and my bed. My spirit still yearns for adventure and spontaneity, and I continue to hope for the next big curve on the road ahead. Once in a while, it doesn't hurt to go on a little sidetrip.

Today, I'm greatly thankful to be able to spend a quiet Sunday at home... after a looong time. Tomorrow, it's back to my island grind, and so I bid my beloved city adieu for now.
