Day 1: 10-minute Call

January 30, 2011

This marks my Day 1 being a Solo Flight becasue early in the morning my bf already flew to Manila for his training.

While I remain behind bars in my room doing online works and blogging works. Honestly, I am a bit busy today so I have not actually felt the sadness and loneliness besides it is still the first day. Then, also as I have mentioned from my previous post, I already bought my own domain so it is something that has kept me busy configuring stuffs the whole day.

But I did actually want to go somewhere just to eat snacks like street food in divisoria. And my ever supportive and right away companion is no one else but my bf. What I did is just bought some cookies from our canteen and ate it in my room. :-(

Then I suddenly received a text message to turn on my other phone with sun sim. It was bat empty and so I needed to charge it first.

As I entitled this post, 10-minute call, a call that was like forever. We used every second to talk about everything-his first day, in plane while I as well with my new domain and stuffs done during the day.

It sounds like an obligation right? The both of us talking about what we did the whole day but it's not like that. We have the curiosity and sincerity to know each other's whereabouts just to know that everything is ok.

So far. So good. First day is ok.

Last Date For The Next 3-4 Months

Today or should I say a while ago was our last date for the next 3-4 months for he'll be flying the 9am flight tomorrow going to Manila for work purposes.

As much as I want to go and spend the next days with him, it is now time for me to accept things that not everytime we can be together. Work is the top one for that.

Although the advantage in my case for having a job online since I can't find a job as a nurse, for him it is not. My work schedule is flexible while his will be not anymore because hopefully this will already be his permanent job. That's why I keep asking myself as to when can I finally land a normal job where I can be busy and stay away from home and to keep myself busy as well from the "dramas" and "missing each day moments."

Anyway, I just can't allow myself from this so a while ago as I have said and will say again was our last date for the next 3-4 months. Together we heard mass (again, I was late), ate lunch with his family and stayed and cherished the last hours at his home. We watched DVD city hunter (I sound like promoting the DVD, I'll just make another post for this), surfed the net and ate a very special snack macaroni made by his mother. We had to do such bonding because I can't come tomorrow and accompany him at the airport.:-(

On the other hand because I so love the timeline (I know a lot will disagree), I decided to make a cover photo to be posted for the next 3-4 months. I know it's cliche but I am just like this. I put my feelings into photoshop editing along with the lettering.

The picture were us hours after hearing the mass. We decided to go out ahead from his family but realized the sun was so painful to stay inside the pick-up. So we stayed at that place. That was at the parking lot but with the shade. We had nothing to do apart from telling endless stories, make fun and just hang around, we took shots at the place and our shoes. I did not expect to end up such. Thanks to photoshop, everything came out beautiful.

This is another shot. I am not really a good photographer neither a DSLR, I do not have. What I can only brag is my photoshop skill which is also something I could be proud of.

So, that's it. I'll totally miss him for the next 3-4 months which includes--3 monthsaries, Valentine's Day, Kaamulan Festival, Siargao plan to go along with his brother, rafting and zipline with my balikbayan barkada.

So sad, we will miss a lot of stuffs.

EPIC FAIL!

I blame it to the cold Sunday evening which left me nothing to do but thoughts of a-so-not-me-sort-of-things like reading books which I admit that I am a bit standoffish of such stuffs. It never came to a point in my life craving for such good reads not even in the middle of the night lighting that little lamp and paving my way down to the bookshelf and look for something to read. I more imagined myself heading to the fridge and finding that perfect midnight snack for my movie marathon moments. Or yet just wait for the time when books come into life and are shown in theaters.

And so I had these negative expectations the moment I downloaded the epub copy of the book. From the title itself, everything would surely be an epic fail. But as I turned the first page, one more page, then more pages until I came to realization that there's nothing left anymore. I succeeded! I had finished a book, to stress it more, one book in less a day. Would you believe it?

Epic Fail by Claire LaBeznik is something worth reading played by a typical teen-who-entered-a-strange-rich-world-far-different-from-hers named Elise Benton whose curiosity has been her main best friend as she struggled to adjust with the new school, new place, new weather, of the sons and daughters of celebrity parents and with Derek Eduards, an expected standoffish celebrity son. But things get more easier when her sister, Juliana Benton having Chase Baldwin his boyfriend and best friend with Derek who gave him a perfect grand entrance of "who's this new girl hanging out with the popular." Curiosity then seems to fade away because she did not only get close to such people but befriend them and even more than that. And of course a story like this would be incomplete without the unnecessary evil characters. First in the list is Chelsea Baldwin, a perfect-example-of-a-spoiled-brat who is obviously head over heels with Derek who later shows more of her being the evil sister of Juliana's Prince Chase. Then, the nerd sweet looking nice guy Webster Grant who in the end is nothing but a shallow-hearten guy who is only after the rich parents of whoever girl he come across in school. Thus, made Elise more curious after finding out which would excempt her from the fact that her parents are not rich nor celebrities but still fall trapped a victim.

I don't wanna look or sound a straight A grader summarizing stuffs like this. Well, it's better to read for yourself. Have fun reading because unexpectedly, I did have fun.
