no turkey for me but still a lot to thank for :)
here's a round of quotes from some of the thanksgiving episodes of my series stash:
"i'm thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled. i'm thankful for new relationships that help us realize how far we've come from who we were. and how close we get when we can really be ourselves. i'm thankful to know that no matter what they say, you can go home again. whether it's your home or not."
"so get this, the word decision comes from the same root as the word scissors. decisions and scissors can both be scary. with every decision you're snipping away the choices you don't want. sometimes you make a decision and feel sure you did the righ thing. but sometimes you can't help to think a little bit about the choices you've cut loose."
"we want it but we don't know how to get it but once we face our demons, face our fears and turn to each other for help night time isn't so scary because we realize we are not really alone in the dark"
and my all time favorite for the week...
"i can handle the mess so it's up to you"
add to that the fact that i found an ally in celebrated ny production and stage designer eduardo sicangco. he believes that computers somehow defy the power of the hands. i needed to hear that to hold on to myself esteem amidst the constant pressure from people for me to learn adobe photoshop. hahaha ;) AND most important of all, BF i seriously miss your turkey!

travel light
...get rid of the excess baggage and understand that there are some things, dreams, people that you have to let go :)
here are some food for thought from my series stash:
I'm giving you the choice between the person you want to be and the person that you are.
I'm afraid that we keep going back together not because it's right but because we want to hold on to what we know. Getting back together will not change the fact that it's not working.
Men are stupid. They go for the obvious.
You know you're lucky. When someone falls in love with you its' real. I don't have that because I'm too pretty. (i love amanda!)
and some comforting words too:
Thank you for being happier when I'm here.
I heard you were having a crappy day. I was hoping this would cheer you up.
there's nothing like a dose of reality from fictional people. on a rainy weekend :)

rock steady
steady is a word that i always say but i know that it isn't as easy as when it is said. however the past few days have been i think exactly just that - steady. i can't say it's totally fun being me but in life you can't quit being yourself, hence:
-wine and cheese would never be enough for me. wine and steak is more like it, in astralis nonetheless.
-i just had to watch high school musical 3 on the first night it was showing because i love disney so much.
-between my brother and me, he's the more artsy one but that doesn't mean i don't give myself a chance to indulge in those things. so last saturday was the first time i went to cubao expo and i enjoyed it. i think mostly because we got to eat in bellini's where one more chance was shot ;)
-last sunday i spent a now rarely one on one with teppy. the following day, depsite a hectic monday, i still went to the metro him event. time is indeed the greatest gift you can give to friends.
-legally chef said that her dream is for the ebench to conquer the world. we're one step closer to that, thanks to mama nelia who's heading for italy really soon. the despedida was well attended and the burgos halloween parade was a blast.
-the few days that i stayed in at home where all spent watching my guilty pleasures on tv or via the net. that's how much i'm into those series especially now that finally izzie and karev are together ;)
-staying in on halloween wasn't such a bad idea because of impromptu trips to power plant and then we moved on to S&R and dinner at serendra.
-back to the real staying in part. i got to write/do some stuff for friends plus i'm able to catch F1 live. sans a car and a pre-existing love for cars, all i really have is a passion for the sports and a slowly creeping comprehension and love for F1 technology. more importantly i was able to spend quality time with my BF, sadly without stanley. hahaha. i really miss you!
last but not the least, costumes are not for me. i don't mind wearing one but at the end of the day it's just really me. rock steady me :)
