I miss the old times...

it's VGH day again...(got approved at exactly 8:45pm--imagine, the company only paid me 45mins of my time, not even close to 45% of my daily rate). geez! gotta tighten my belt for those unnecessary expenses...no more shopping, spa or anything luxurious at the moment. still need to pay all my bills--CC (Citibank would be very grateful that I became one of their good-spender clients--sheesh! still owe them around--nah! no need to tell the whole world how much I owe them), phone, our maid's salary and some miscellaneous expenses for the home. you see, it now dawned on me how hard it is to earn money. I remember when I don't still have credit card on hand...I was able to budget my salary better. I guess I just have to convince myself that this is just a blip. sigh!

now, I'm beginning to be sappy here....

I came to reckon that I have lots of friends...for the fact that I easily get at ease with other people. but I just realized that even if I made plenty of friends, I really have a few numbers whom I consider as my "real" friends--who've been there with me through ups and downs, whom I've been with to discover how great life is, and whom I entrust my life with...

1. MY GRADESCHOOL GIRLFRIENDS--Michelle, Donna & Karla (we've been together for 12 years...these are the girls that I considered as the 'Samantha, Charlotte & Miranda' in my life...and I play the role of Carrie. *wink* Girl Power!!)
2. Ade & Nonoy (my all-time-ever-reliable bestbuds. the 2 of the most important men in my life...next to God, my dad, my beau & my bro)
3. Shela, Gneth & April, Ck & Eds (who've been my constant buddies during college. these are the girls who have seen my love life bloom and vanished in just a blink)
4. MY CARLSBAD FAMILY--Tony, Tine, Diane, Nark, Chris, Vince, Ekah, Janice, Marissa & Reign (we've treated each other as family...as in brothers & sisters. without these guys, I wouldn't survive working at Convergys)
5. Lastly, my beau...Joseph. (he's been there for me all the time...during my cheers-&-tears. Seph's the one who taught me to look on the brighter side of things...to become optimistic & made me realize that everything happens for a reason. he stands up for me and extends his patience & understanding during those times that I become shitty and bitchy. I wouldn't mind meeting him again after this lifetime.)

Ain't life wonderful to have these people around?!?! yeah, I believe so...
