I still can't believe how Baby and I met. It's almost like, wow, she's been the one all along and I couldn't see it? But it came to a point I discovered she's been there all along, supportive and encouraging. Even introducing me to her friends. What I want in a spouse is to have a life we could share with each other... And she's the very embodiment of that, introducing me to her friends, sharing her life with me, bringing me into her family...
Why didn't I meet her earlier? Then again, in the grand scheme of things... If we had met before all that shit happened, I wouldn't have grasped how beautiful, unique and special she is... Never tasted bitterness, you'll never savor true sweetness right?
And how lucky I am to be her other half.
We joke a lot about how we are like Siamese twins. It's position specific. She's my right half, and I'm her left. Reason? NOT TELLING! =P
One other thing I love about her. I don't have to spell it all out and she gets it *snaps finger* just like that! How cool!

Absence.
It makes the heart grow fonder, they say. I'm beginning to find it truer now that she's somewhere I'm not. And she ain't coming back that soon. I thought staying in her house, in our room, will help salve the nagging sore of loneliness. It aggravated it! Being among everything that reminds me of her... Gosh.
No matter. She'll be back in exactly 6 days.
Earlier today my supervisor passed me my confirmation letter, shook my hand and said 'Congrats'. I paused for a moment pondering about how hard it was, how tough a personal trial I had to go through to earn that letter, only to find that earning it was just the beginning and now I have to strive hard for the company and my future.
2010 started off like a rotting corpse. I was just emerging from the perfect heartbreak, an extension of my job's probation period and the doubt of my colleagues that I could be a part of their team. But life has a way of making flowers bloom in the desert, and 4 months later I have a beautiful and committed fiancee, the respect of my colleagues (somewhat), and this confirmation letter. I am in a better position in life than I have ever been!
I still recall the days I squeezed out a meager existence working in a bookshop and studying for my diploma at the same time. Having to pay my school fees, bills, and daily living expenses, I have to account for every cent spent. Once, I tried to live on the most minimal (A loaf of flavored bread and a cup of coffee for 2 bucks a day) for a month only to become so gaunt and sluggish that I fell sick! Not sure how the PapuaNewGuineans do it but I CAN'T. LOL. I quickly reverted to my daily sustenance of 6 bucks per day including transport.
Compare that to present days when an average day costs 15 bucks and I could afford better food, clothes and entertainment with cash to spare. Now my fiancee is the only breakwater against the waves of desire for s PS3 LOL. She'd say 'Cannot CANNOT! End of the year then buy ok???' *Nods Nods* I understand la, must listen to laopo ma, my other half. LOL
Sigh missing her again. Logging off! =)

Last April was...
The most tumultuous month of the year. It ended well though. I got informally engaged to Ber and got my Confirmation in Atlas. Most expensive stuff of the month - a pair of Levis Signature Jeans, engagement ring, and Pedro Tie. I won't need the tie since I bought it in case I didn't get confirmed in this job and needed to wear it for interviews. Now that I'm confirmed I'm gonna keep it just in case. =)
I love this job of mine. Best job ever. I like how it pushes me to be better than I am and to improve on my communication skills. I love how I can get a chance to apply for a sponsorship with the company to allow me to study after 3 years. Best of all I love the people. To lose this job would be like I lost a friend. Atlas is a prestigious company that has won several national awards. The culture, benefits and pay are good too. It was really by chance that I landed this job. Will reveal more in futures posts! ^^
Striving and thinking of ways I can save more money. I'm spending a little less than $1k every month! I can't accept that $$$ is flying out of my pocket quicker than I imagined! Cutting down on eating expenses is tough. Expenses for clothes can be saved in the coming months since I'm seldom outside in my work clothes. That should save me at least $100+. Transport fares can't be reduced further since I don't commute to other places other than work and home(s).
Ah well, will try to save more next month. Plans for the month of May 2010 -
Work hard, Persevere hard, Save hard.
