Reposting from May 2013 entry

Oh, where do I start?

For how I fared these last two weeks, I have my girl friends to thank for.

Your candid and varied response to my report had me see things in a new light. Believe me that I know that what I had was something that has very little likelihood of going into fruition. But as you know, I am not the type to give up easily. For me, even the tiniest spark shows a promise that it can be fanned to a roaring fire (of whatever it is that is there).

Those whose ears I talked out personally or electronically, those whose fingers I challenged with typing in earnest, those whose nights and days I have borrowed, whose whose understanding and patience I have put into the test, I cannot thank you enough.

For the last twelve months (that went by so swiftly), I know that I have not been the person you have always known, i.e. vibrant and independent and rational. It's funny thinking that I have ran out of things to counsel myself  when I have been privy to a number of secrets to which I always have had something intelligent to say about.

I am really sorry for putting you aside.

I can't say that I am good but suffice to say that I feel better now.

Karlota - The Latest Traitor

So as most people already know, I'm the latest traitor to the Association of Left Over Women Old Maids.

I am now open to answer all your questions.  Or maybe not.  After all, it's still my private affairs and I'm not really obliged to tell anyone the truth and nothing but the whole truth.

What causes syncope?


According to the American Heart Association, it may be caused by emotional stress, pain, pooling of blood in the legs due to sudden changes in body position, overheating, dehydration, heavy sweating or exhaustion. 

The first one held true. Thankfully it was only a near syncope for me. Otherwise, I cannot begin to think of the consequences. Alone and unconscious, without any form of identification, amidst the Sunday throng at the mall.

It was stupid really. To get so upset to the point of fainting.

Life of Pi? I don't know if I was glad I watched it or not. But it was, in a way, a party to my almost sad end.

Sigh!

Azkals vs Lions, Dolly's Debut, etc.


Maddie, thanks for securing me the precious game tickets, volunteering to fetch me at the airport and allowing me to crash for a night. The Ipanema slippers I brought home made a lot of girls happy.


I was there and my palate was sorely tested with dishes I could only dream of preparing. Featured here is my "handum kag dumot" paella. It's to die for. Promise. I had to eat slowly so as not to eat so much more than I can handle.

Tita Dolls, thanks so much for adopting me for a day. I'm glad you had a great birthday!



And Pats, for allowing me to be a third wheel in your honeymoon suite.

He said, She said...


He said: Sometimes you only love the person because he or she loves you. So when they stop, you also cease to feel.
She said: "fortune and love favor the brave" ~ ovid
He said: So I'm brave? Drool. :D
she said: Brave? On what premise?
He said: I promise I don't know the premise... :D
She said: I don't know any better but that ain't sound brave at all!
He said: Surely it doesn't. Brave barks!
She said: Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation ~ Leo Buscaglia

******

He said: Hope will kill you if you don't use your mind to control it. It is like courage to fight without the strength to attack or the chance to win. It is expectation. It is waiting. For something to happen you know will never be. For someone who left to 'hopefully' come back.
She said: let the hopeful hope. miracles do happen ;)
He said: really? i was hoping i have better luck with my health now that classes will start tomorrow. :(
She said: Believe and You will! Get well soonest teacher!
