the best high

9:04 PM

nothing beats exceeding someone's expectations. it gets even better when that someone is yourself. when you've set the bar up only this high (i'm making a hand gesture as high as my head) and you get to this high (now the hand is waaayyy over my head), its one great feeling. its what i call my "i can conquer the world" emotion.

i felt that today.i managed to finish this article that'd been eluding me for a time. i got the keynote presentation from my boyfriend (well, to give him credit, he was the one who worked at actually constructing the slideshow, i was merely the one giving my concept, and directional advice:p)-doesn't matter the presentation is still ready. i got a good email from this place that i part-time at.i'm finding time to write this entry. AND i got paid.:D

when you work your ass off, sure it's exhausting, but sometimes, it unleashes this better version of you that you can't help but be proud of. and today, i must admit that i'm proud of all that i managed to accomplish this past week. Yay for me :)

xoxo

P.S I'm documenting this emotion so I'll have something to look back on when I'm swamped with work this week and ready to tea my hair out..:p

a public service announcement :p

10:40 PM

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! i can officially say that in a few hours, i will really have a living, breathing, real life boyfriend to call my very own. someone to hug and kiss and hold hands and cuddle and do all the mushy stuff with!

its about time! 6 months is a damn long time to wait.

also, to anyone who cares, posts may be few and far between as "the happy, reunited couple" may be busy gallivanting around town and getting into all sorts of adventures and misadventures. please excuse me :)

the madness ends

11:45 PM

hurrah!!! i almost forgot to share. i have in my possession, the season's hottest accessory! noooo, its not those prada sfumatto sandals, or the latest "it" bag (although i certainly wouldn't mind having those either). its.... THE STARBUCKS 2008 PLANNER! :D

after a lot of forced coffee drinking, sticker pity donations from friends and family, a lot of barista negotiations and wheeling and dealing, i finally placed the last sticker last night and handed in my little booklet in exchange for the coveted planner.when i was told tha i would be getting it in a few moments, i shrieked and did my little dance and released about 2.5 joyous whoops.

i've spent the last hour doodling and writing like crazy- personalising my planner and now my left hand is numb and throbby.but thats okay- i don't care, it was worth it!:D

i feel as if i've scaled the everest of coffee!!! i'm shallow like that :D... yipppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....:D

Update 1:Project Pia

2:42 PM

I weighed in today since starting my "lifestyle" change about 2 weeks ago. YAAYYYYY. I lost 3 lbs. I was so happy to find out that i did because i didn't really suffer for it.

Also, I noticed that I eat WAAAYYYY less now, and get full much much sooner. another yay!

I love the way this thing is going.:D

I <3 project pia!!!

the bigger person...and shopper :)

7:20 PM

last night jason said, "someone has to be the bigger person". i fell asleep thinking about those words and woke up today thinking "yeah. i can do that.be the bigger person" so i did. well i hope what i did was bigger-personish. i wrote * a letter of sorts, sort of explaining my sudden disappearance from the universe. i was upfront, honest, direct, sincere and hopefully very bigger-personish. it felt good.no, it felt really really really good (insert huge smile here). i felt like a really good pedicurist cut away that annoying ingrown nail that just sits there, slightly annoying the hell out of me. i don't know what will happen next but i am content with what action i took. content and happy. again words of wisdom from my baby- "that's the reaction you need to get after writing an honest letter." so smart this baby, isn't this bigger person so lucky?! :p

after that, i went to sm with my sisters and dropped by sepa. i'd been itching to go for about a week now. we found some gorgeous vintage inspried necklaces. and that was when it happened. the bigger person morphed into the bigger shopper..and bought herself a fab necklace. (maybe as a self pat on the back for being the bigger person hehe :p)

and so after that, the self proclaimed bigger person went home, very happy and very content, albeit with a much much smaller wallet.
