Celebrations Vis-a-Vis

Yesterday, the 23rd, I suddenly remembered that today, the 24th, is my ex's birthday. It's his debut, so to say in Filipino setting. I remember talking to several of my close male friends months back asking for their opinions about an ultra-cool-gift-making-me-the-ultra-cool-girlfriend. Right now I'm not sure why I haven't discarded these suggestions from my head, as if they'd be of any use to me now that I am unattached. Hmmm over the years I've lost touch of my nifty gift-giving brainstorming abilities that I actually had to ask for others' opinions. Here are several of the gift choices I intended (note, not actually bought *whew*) to buy for my ex for today had we still been together:

  • A motorbike. Now I'm really not sure if this is synonymous with a scooter, though I've always pertained to the latter as the smaller, more sissy type. I'm not referring to the big bike motorcross size thing either. Fuck, i really know nincompoop when it comes to this.
  • A Tag Heuer watch. His and hers. Yeah right. *chuckles*
  • An out-of-town vacation for 2. Somewhere nice and we can intoxicate ourselves silly and eat and sleep only when we feel like it. I was thinking maybe Bora or Palawan.
  • A surprise birthday bash. It's his debut anyway, and since he had no plans throwing a party for himself, might as well organize everything and see the look on his face when he sees all that people and booze.

Out of the 4, the third choice was the one most likely to happen. Now, all of them will never be. Dont' get me wrong, though. I'm not bitter nor sourgraping here. Au contraire, it's actually bemusing to look back at the foolish things I will do for love. Ah, love. Bah.

******************************

Today, the 24th of January, is also my first anniversary in this company. A year ago, I was clueless on my job accountabilities. If I could go back in time to a year ago carrying with me the knowledge I have now, I might have packed my bags and ran for dear life away from here. Whoops, too late.

  • Look! It's Aquabitch

  • I'm your difficult, miserable, pain-in-the-ass, obnoxious, arrogant, stupid, cold, selfish, snobbish, tactless kind of angel. I eat everything a civilized person would, actually eat a lot of it. I hate cockroaches, lizards, rats (or mouse), smart-ass people, and any jingle composed by Lito Camo. A daughter, mother, sister and friend to people who wish I wasn't. Likes to read, loves to travel, can't live without TV, and a complete sucker for Diablo. Probably undergoing quarter-life crisis, and is at wit's end at pulling everything together.
