3. Things that are making me happy

1. I feel great because I had my first vegetable 'overcooked' noodles :D through our microwave :D. Well, it sagged and doesn't look nor taste good but I'll eat it just for the fun of it. Anyways, I added a Chunky Tomato with basil from Clara Ole (pasta sauce since I'm into spaghetti and I'm pretending that this a spaghetti) that I bought from SM yesterday afternoon. I also added granulated garlic from McCorminck. I promise to perfect it tomorrow [hopefully]. I'll bring olive oil because the noodles are so intimate to each other. They are very hard to separate and eat haha

2. I feel great because I decided to truly learn how to use chopsticks. In my 27 years of living, I haven't though of learning how to use it. I can live with spoon, fork and a knife but then again, I have to embrace my Asian roots, so here I am. Learning how to cook vegetable noodles spaghetti style using chopsticks haha 

3. It's a wonderful feeling that I think my weekend was more of my taste than the before. I usually set things with a time that I didn't follow but yesterday, I did it. Well, not 100% though but I am going to make it a hundred this coming weekend. I read eBooks on Saturday. I woke up early Sunday morning to clean, cook and read while waiting for the groceries to open. Then I arranged the things that I'll be needing the following day, put my groceries and laundry in their proper places before sitting in front of my computer to read again. Yes, I read like crazy especially when I really like what I'm reading. My sin but I love it.

2. Things that I am grateful about today

1. I am so grateful that I arrived work before time. My phone alarm clock didn't work for some crazy reasons but I am here now. I even managed to take a bath and shampoo my hair twice, anyways I'll go it again later just to make sure that I've done it properly.

2. I know that this day will be good since it started pretty well. I'm crossing my fingers to that :D

3. I am happy because I was able to retrieve this blogsite immediately. I didn't know what happen but I was unable to sign up earlier. It was a close call :D

she who has been: very eager

... to answer these questions.

I answered these questions last night on line and I got really curious. What do I really want? What am I really looking for? What should I expect for my next partner? What he should expect from me? Why do I want to be in a relationship again after a long time of being single? Why he should go on a relationship with me?

What do I really want?

A partner (not only in crimes :D ). A confidant, a debate partner, a mentor and a friend. Someone who I can cuddle with, I can lust with (*wink hehe) and I can torment with my quirks.

What am I looking for a partner?

I'm looking for someone who talks sense but knows how to listen and see my points as well. Someone who can straighten my back when I'm feeling nervous; who wont leave me when I made mistakes in public. Someone who will look at me in the eyes and not under his nose. Someone who has a bad habit of kissing me in public (bang! I don't care if we'll receive an invitation to the nearest jail for PDA haha as long as I stay out and he can stay inside). Someone who is man enough to let me walk besides him and call me his. Someone who is ambitious and utterly MINE!   

Sounds impossible? I don't think so. He's there. I know. He's out there and he's mine.
Married and in a relationship need not apply. I'm territorial and doesn't like sharing :D

What should I expect for my next partner?

He should know how to deal with me. The woman, the lady and the child in me.

What he should expect from me?

I'm not a marrying type (yet). We will come to that but not now. I know I'm not getting any younger but married for me is sacred. I stay true to the 'til dead do as part' thing. Honestly. I'm a good follow, only if it suites me. I lead myself and I have this hidden compulsion of being always free.  That's one of the greatest reason why it took me so long to think of entering a relationship again.

Why do I want to be in a relationship again after a long time of being single?
Unlike other girls, I don't see my partner as a plane ticket to a better life. I don't want to brag but I am capable of supporting myself and the members of my family know the value of money, how to handle money and have a high respect to others that we rather walk to work than borrow money (that's why I love them :d ). I want to be in a relationship because I miss being in a relationship.

Why he should go on a relationship with me?
Because he can't and would never resist the temptation of having me as his hahaha (conceited!!)

she who has been: learning the secret :D

I received a mail a few days ago from one of the sites that I signed on. I received, hmmm let's say encouragement letters from this site. I hope you familiar with it. It's The Secret.  They send scrolls at least twice or thrice a week. These are scrolls of encouragement, ideas and simple words. Here's the exert:

" Learn to become aware of this communication from the Universe, who is speaking to you and guiding you in every moment. There are no accidents and no coincidences. Every sign you notice, every word you hear spoken, every color, every scent, every sound, every event and situation is the Universe speaking to you, and you are the only one who knows their relevance to you, and what the communication is saying. "

So, I put this things in to action and here's out I come out with (I know I'm a freak, just swallow it and complain next time :D )

1. Signs that I noticed and interpreted

1. Dogs - On my way to work a few mornings ago, a dog walked and barked towards me. I assumed that it means, I have to put be aware of what's happening around me. Dogs have a good sense of smell and hearing. They are also, the man's best friend and 'domesticated guardians'. So, I think I have to be always on guard :D

floor plan of A.Venue

2. Apartment - When I was thinking of my dream flat/apartment. I made specifications. I want it to have 3-bedroom, still in the business district, near and familiar to my current apartment, good and educated  neighbors and near to almost everything. After taking note of these specification, I found out that everything falls to A.Venue, a condo tel along Makati Ave. I didn't pay attention to it until recently and since then , my focus shift it to this apartment. I started hoping, dreaming, praying even chanting (told you I'm starting to show signs of solid craziness :D ) than some cosmic powers hit me and place this lovely apartment on my waiting hands no matter how impossible it is. I even imagined myself having a housewarming party already and celebrating my birthday in August there haha * sigh! haaaay

There were road blocks on my way home yesterday for reasons I didn't know and no care to find out. I took a different route though I didn't know where exactly I would land but I know I'll end up doing a lot of walking. It's just good that it was cloudy but it's getting to dark. To my amazement, I end up exactly in front of their leisure mall (yes, they have a separate building for it with bars, restaurants, spas etc.). I take it as a sign that I CAN have a space in that building, my own space, my own door very very soon :D yeheeeyyyy

3. Another apartment - I purchased a studio-type apartment last year in Ortigas and the last time I checked, the turn over will be if not December of this year probably anytime in the first quarter of next year. There were some delays because of the permits that was halted when they were starting (election). Anyways, I'm still paying it and since March, I'm having very little difficulties with schedules and money but yesterday, I just noticed this condominium behind other condominiums. It looked very similar to the one I'm currently paying. They are both low-rise (10-11 floors), same deck design and location (both in residential areas). When I saw it, I felt relieved (dunno why hmm). I think, it's a sign that I still have the unit and I would have money to pay for it this month (cross fingers ;D ) 

4. A partner - Yes, I also want to have a partner hopefully this year. Well, my love life has been quite for almost 8-10 years now. WHOAAH! I got busy with work, being independent, enjoying my new found independence and of course my earnings, travels and other activities. Then last night, someone sent me an email through an online hmmm (dating) site that one of my friends or office mates (Im not sure if it was rara or olga) introduced me with months ago. Again, my attention was not in the relationship thing so I didn't do anything on that site but just pose my picture. Well, again someone sent me an interest last night. I read his profile and sound decent though I'm not really sure (vultures on the Internet??). I sent an "interest" as well.  Let's see what will happen.
