I learned that he has a girlfriend today and boy, was i disappointed. Well, he’s cute so I had a notion that he has a girlfriend but getting a confirmation that he has sure did affect me and my day. Now, am really thinking, how come I can never have someone that I like? Is this what I get for being choosy? Imagine, this is the first time that I truly like someone who is within reach and yet he isn’t available. Although, it’s not an assurance that he’ll be mine even if he doesn’t have a girlfriend but I’d be happier if he didn’t have any. I am thinking maybe, this is my life. I am bound to be alone.

I love to eat basically to know how a food tastes like. You could say that it is part of my learning experience to be a better cook. One of the recipes that I am very interested in is lumpiang shanghai (meat roll) and I have tasted a lot of good tasting lumpia. But I also had some bad tasting ones. Like the one that I am having now. The wrapper is crispy, you can smell the meat but it tastes salty!  Too bad… Sometimes I wonder why some people can’t get the fact that salt is there to add or enhance the natural flavor of the food, not to over power the taste. Tsk, tsk, tsk…

A friend approached me to tell me that she likes someone.  Funny, but you know how girls are.  They would usually talk about the person they like.  Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t have the guts to tell other people that I like someone.  But I’m wondering what if one day, because I don’t like talking about the person I like or couldn’t even dare say the name of the person I like, someone comes up to me to tell me that they like the person I like too?  Do I have the right to get mad?  I guess not, in the first place, that person didn’t know that I liked the guy and then, I am not in a relationship with the guy so I guess that gave me no right to be mad.  However, how should one react if one is placed in that situation?  What if I liked the person that she likes too and she told me about it?  Should I just keep quiet or should I say I like him too?  Hmmm…

Ok, work stresses me out, but my stress at work cannot compare to my stress with this “Guy”. You know, I should be happy because finally, I “met” someone that I like who is within reach… But no… Why? Because I think he’s ignoring me. Literally… Imagine being in a room together but he wouldn’t even say anything to me. Imagine that? We would even stand next to one another (a couple of times) for a couple of minutes but he wouldn’t say anything to me. Not even a simple word like Hello. Imagine! He would talk to my friends but not me. Sheeshh! And worse, I couldn’t tell my friends who he and that I like him for I am sure that he will learn about it sooner or later. And I could ask them about him either for they would start teasing me about it. Could you just imagine my stress? I hope I’ve never seen this guy or even learned that he existed. Argghhhh…

I’ve always wanted to learn the chinese language.  Thanks to my friend who lent me her copy of the Mandarin lessons that she is taking, my lessons will start today.  I’ve always been interested with this language for aside from the fact that this language is a good language for doing business back home, it’s also a way for me get in touch of my heritage.  I think it is my responsibility to learn the language as it is my responsibility to know the Filipino language.  I guess this is the reason why my dad felt bad that I failed my chinese classes back when I was a kid.  I guess, I never saw the importance of the learning the language back then.  I jsut hope that it won’t be as hard as learning the Bisaya dialect. Sheesh, I’ve been in Cebu for almost 4 years now and yet I couldn’t get my accent and my grammar right.  Tsk!

I attended the birthday party of our Senior Operations Manager last night.  They served shrimps, beef, lechon and chicken gordon bleu.  The chicken was amazing because it was juicy and the chicken flavor was not over powered by the other ingredients however, the beef wasn’t that impressive.  Although you can taste the cream in the sauce, the beef was a bit tough.  It could have been attributed by the way that the meat was cut.  Such a waste.  Anyhow the lechon was yummy, the meat was tender and fine, I guess it’s because the pig isn’t that big yet.   The shrimp was so, so.  It was suateed with carrots and red bell peppers.  Nothing really special, it tasted like shrimps in suateed vegetables. 

Most of my colleagues didn’t go there.  I guess it’s because it was a Sunday.  You know how it is, Sundays are family day so I guess most of them were tired to go out.  I guess that’s the reason it wasn’t that fun.  Our Operations Manager and some of my fellow team managers nagged me again about getting a boyfriend.  They said that my Christmas wouldn’t be lonely this year.  Hahaha, come to think it, it wouldn’t be too lonely if I get to go home.  Hmmm, so boss, how about that?  Send me home for Christmas.  Hahaha… Our SOM sang with his wife, I guess it was their song, a lovely couple :).  I wonder if I get a husband who could sing.  Hehehe… Anyway, Kriste gave us a ride home.  It was a miracle.  Hahaha… It has been a while since we asked him to give us a ride home which was always futile.  I don’t know what happened last night but he agreed right away.  At least we got to save taxi fare.

It’s one of those days again when you feel like not going out.  Am having a Lovers in Paris marathon today so I feel like I don’t want to go out of the house.  Bad thing though it’s a Sunday so I need to go to church and do some stuff in the office.  I need to pass by the supermarket as well to pick up some groceries.  Sheesh, I just wish there is a grocery delivery service here in Cebu.  You know for those who doesn’t want to go out just to buy a bar of soap or the ingredients for a recipe that you’ve always wanted to cook.  Hmmm… I haven’t really heard of one here in Cebu so I guess I really have to go out and pick the things that I need.  But just think if there is such a company here in Cebu who would provide the service.  Imagine, you don’t have to go to one shop to the next just to find the ingredients that you need.  I mean what if you are planning to cook something traditional or something that you’ve seen on TV, wouldn’t life be easier?  Imagine having everything delivered to your doorsteps on days like this?

It was his birthday last month and he bought himself a new car.  He said it is a dream to own a Lamborghini Gallardo and he did make it come true for himself.  I just wish I will be as hard working as him for I do have a lot of dreams myself.  Dreams like owning a house, having  a business of my own and of course travel to places where I want to.  Speaking of traveling, I do wish that I can go to Hongkong on Febraury 14th 2010, for this is not just an ordinary Valentine’s Day it’s the Chinese New Year (one of my favorite holidays) as well.  Hay… I am getting a pay above the standard wage but why is it that I don’t have enough to have a savings?  :(  I hope that the day when I can save is near so that I can make my dreams come true too… Soon.
