Singapore Bound on our 8th Anniversary

Last year we booked to an expensive hotel in Boracay to celebrate our 7th anniversary. This year, we are going international as I booked tickets in advance for our Singapore trip. It’s my super advance birthday and anniversary gift for Marko.

As early as now, we are plotting our itinerary. If given enough time we will try to visit Malaysia for quick city tour :) Absolutely, EXCITED MUCH!!!

I got this book way back our college days. Marko’s 1st monthsary gift to me. Women who think too much. He knows how I over think a lot and I often encounter anxiety panics. Anyway, this book shares practical techniques on how you can avoid over thinking. I need to read this again

Mid-Relationship Love Crisis

You need spark to ignite the fire. But fire won’t take too long so when fire ceases you need to ignite the spark again. Same goes with relationship, you need the spark to keep the fire going. For some or most that have lost the spark ended up falling out-of-love. Next thing you know, when you wake up you no longer see yourself spending the rest of your life with the person you have been with for the past 4,5,7 years… Things were not like before when you were so deeply-madly-in love, can’t-leave-without-you. It doesn’t mean that you don’t love that person anymore, you just realize that both of you are better off as friends.

 

Wedding Bells and Proposals

I’ve been hearing wedding bells and seeing proposal posts by most of my school mates. I guess, this is the getting-settled-season for our batch mates. A part of me feels a pang of envy but then a part of me tells me that there’s nothing to be envious about, because getting married means A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY. Aside from it, there are lots of things to consider like having kids, being financially stable and independent.

My parents on the other hand is somewhat encouraging me to get married so we can retire at an early age. Most would give me the same advice about having an early retirement. My dad is even willing to adopt his future grandchild in case we are not yet ready to take such responsibility. Yah, I know silly idea from my parents who now wanted to be grandparents.

As for me, a part of me wants to get married. Marko and I have just celebrated our 7th anniversary. I think it’s about time to lay our future plans but then I’m not sure if he has any plans for it yet. I think he does, but not at this point when we are preoccupied of achieving our individual goals. I don’t want to force him to do something he’s not yet ready.

Maybe I’m just envious of the proposals and wedding news going around the net. That’s the dilemma of being a woman, you have wait in vain for someone to propose for you. I’m setting a deadline for myself. A year from now, if there isn’t any progress or definite assurance I would focus myself on being career oriented. For those would ask me if we are planning to get married my reply would be: FOR THE END TIME, NO PLANS OF GETTING MARRIED YET :)

coughs and colds

I went to Medical City to have my coughs and colds checked by a doctor. I’ve been self medicating with commercialized medicines since I got my colds and cough. Not to mention that I’m drugging myself with drowsy decolgen so as to relieve me from my colds every night and to doze me a to long sleep. Thank God, I have a Intellicard HMO provided by the company, I don’t have to bother with the consultation fees of the doctor. That’s one of the perks of being employed.

Marko accompanied me to the hospital. Well actually, he forced me to visit a doctor. As my name was called, he was insisting to join me so he can hear for himself the doctor’s prescription. I told him “I’m a big girl na… Kaya ko na ‘to". He always have this feeling that I won’t pay too much attention on what the doctor have to say. He was definitely right. I just hate being prescribed with medicines.

The doctor, advised me to take sinupret instead of decolgen and prescribed some medicines for my coughs.

After my check-up, Marko treated me for dinner to celebrate because I was able to hit my annual sales target. We rarely have a date so I really appreciate it. We ended up ourselves to A Veneto Napoli Pizzeria Ristorante at SM Super Centre Pasig. Apparently, it was owned by one of our head during our internship at Adidas.



I ordered one of my most favorite pasta Oil and Garlic Seafood in White Sauce. I don’t have appetite for white pastas but this one is an exemption. The garlic is very tasty together with the taste of the shrimp.



I also like the site of construction workers painting on the wall. Particularly, customers love their Oil in Garlic pastas and pizza. Prices are affordable and comes with great serving which  is definitely good for sharing.
