5.27.07. Isn't it obvious by now that I am in love and still in love? The romantic hopeful that I am is still in love even after 14 months has passed and I am still counting the days and still hoping for what most girls dream about. I had hoped and I am still hoping that we'd be celebrating more than just 14 months but maybe a lifetime together. Pressing the rewind button would reveal that this relationship is standing the test time. A lot has changed since then.. He fell in love with my long chocolate-brown silky hair and I just fell for him. My hair is shorter and my beau has gained weight and looking every bit awesome and I have become an envy of most girls. But more than the superficiality side of things, I love my beau for always bringing out the bst in me and for loving me despite the worst in me. I may be away from him on this day but I still would want to celebrate and mark today as our 14th month. People know that when they're still in love and head over heels over someone because they feel a throbbing pain in their chest everytime they think of that person who brings music into their life. *sigh*... I love you Lindz and I thank God for all the laughter and thank you for loving me and for bringing music into my life. Thank you for being patient with me and for tolerating my drama. I'll see you when I come back and yes, I miss you too.

Honey, this song's for you

When You Love Someone

-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-

This dude just got married today, 5.26.07. It was a very warm and cozy celebration that was celebrated with close family and friends. My brother was every inch looking like a handsome knight in his barong and Angeli was radiantly glowing as she walked down the aisle. It was a pretty sight to see and will forever cherish that moment, looking at my brother gazing at his Bride-to-be with so much love. I was holding back tear s watching them and there's always something beautiful about weddings that always gives a twitch inside all the time. I couldn't believe that I was actually watching my own brother getting hitched. He made a proud announcement at the wedding reception that they've been together for 8 years. They finally decided to tie knot and will be welcoming a baby Fortich come September. I

wouldn't blame my kuya for starting a family at such a tender age of only 24 but he'll be turning 25 this June 6, he started young, again, they've been together longer than most marriages these days and he has a stable job working as a lead in the biggest and pioneering callcenter in Mindanao. I guess he has what it takes to start a family of his own now.

Message to the Groom (My Kuya Paolo): Kuya, I love you and will always be proud of you. I can't believe you'll be a dad soon and I know for a fact that both Anj and baby are blessed to have you in their lives. We, your family are blessed to have you with us and for being a part of us. You have your own family to take care of now but you'll always be part of this family.

Message to the Bride (Beautiful Angeli): We warmly welcome you into the family. I know there'll be many adjustments to make especially now that not only have you become part of the Fortich family but we will also be welcoming a new member soon. We're really glad to have you with us. Please feel at home, we are one family now.

This blogger's birthday

I took a picture of me as the clock ticked 5.25.07. I actually don't feel any different, I still feel the sa me person as I was but I feel only a year older. I've already welcomed adulthood a long time ago and birthdays have now become mere reminders that I'm not getting any younger and will soon face wrinkles. I haven't seen a trace of wrinkles on my face yet so I'm not yet worried.

This blogger's song

Natasha Bedingfield

Unwritten

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

the best is still unwritten.

This blogger's career

Team Go Nadz!

I have an amazing team composed of diamonds in a rough. They've been a very good bunch although they're not perfect but they make going to work worthwhile. I appreciate everyone in the team and I could only hope that I am able to take care of their needs being their supervisor.

Skyrise IT Building

This is where I spend most of my time and where I have established my career. I remember looking at this empty lot where this building now stands. It looks like a gem at night. It is mostly filled with people working inside this building at night more than during the day. It's only one of the IT buildings around IT park where both my beau and I are working. I work at the fourth floor of the building while he works on the sixth.

My Desk

I tried to be really organized every time I work but as the day (or shall we say as the night) starts, I lose track of the things that I need to do that the stuff on my desks ends up scattered everywhere.

Despite all the mess on my desk, I now have a place reserved just for me at the office and I can't be any more happier. I had to work my a** off to earn my right to have a desk of my own.

Random ramblings. I want to thank a person whom I call "Valentine." He is the only other person I know aside from my bestfriend Alma who celebrates his birthday on Valentine's day. He made my trips from Cebu to CDO and back to Cebu comfortable and eady by making sure that I have a space to rest, providing me a free upgrade and for bringing me coffee every morning before the boat docks. I don't think I'll ever forget this person for being generous and kind enough for helping a D.I.D like me. I'm used to travelling alone but I dread having to face the lonely sea by myself so I always welcome good companies such as his on such occasions. He made me feel a little special by treating me like VIP in his own little way. I could only offer him music and stories in return.
