ako daw?

Posted by jab at 12:04 AM on November 18, 2005.

Jab is deeply sensual. His senses of touch, smell and sight are highly refined. And as for his taste? It's impeccable. He is extremely discriminating - when he sees the best, he won't ever settle for anything less. He would rather 'go without' than go for a poor substitute. But then that's Jab all over. It really isn't fair to call him 'stubborn as a mule.' Mules are adaptable, easy going creatures who are always eager to please - or at least, they are by comparison to Jab. Unfortunately, for a person with such expensive preferences,he is not a millionaire ...or at least, not yet. You never know, it may just happen because his relationship with money is very interesting. He treats it with a curious mixture of disdain and respect. He never lets it stand in his way, yet he will go out of his way to get it when he needs to. He is a smart cookie and a shrewd operator. It is not though, merely in the field of finance that Jab displays intuitive wisdom.

Jab has an affinity with nature. He can make almost any plant flower and bear fruit. This is just as well because he has a hearty appetite. He likes his food as indeed he likes all his creature comforts. Fond though he is of all the above - and of all life's little luxuries - there is one more source of endless fascination that he cannot resist. He doesn't so much have a hearty appetite for sensual pleasure as a ravenous hunger for it! Which is funny really because you wouldn't necessarily think it to look at him. He likes to play it cool. He likes to pretend that nothing bothers him, fazes him or excites him. But he is a powerhouse of passion, as those who are lucky enough to know him - or to love him - will breathlessly testify

We are a Blessing

Yeah I know, My blog aint that cool. It's sooo mushy... Thats what they told me. So what? Im in love...

Mads and I both agree that up to now we cannot believe that we are now, here, celebrating our 6 months together (technically we are together becuase we love each other and are in a committed relationship, to generalize everything although we are 8,000 miles apart).

We find ourselves crying sometimes when cases of paranoia, misunderstanding and miscommunitation between us. Sometimes misread each others feelings (either, email, text or chat) but when we hear each others voice we already know how each other is feeling.  We both agree that this is part of it. We both agree that bumps on the road makes us realize that no journey is perfect.

We just celebreated our 6th month as a couple (officially). We are very much expecting the best out of the next six months and more to come. It is surprising that we only find ourselves fraustrated with little things and not the totality of being apart from each other. Even with the tears every night and everytime in between that, we know that what we have right now is part of the path to where we both have always wanted to be.

Together.

Last night, after a hard nights work at the coffee shop, I dropped by the kickboxing gym I would normally go to. My friends who owns it asked me to have some drinks. During the little soiree, I talked to Mahiar. Mahiar is a corporate boss for e-telecare. He supercedes the Philippine call centers and one in Arizona. In one of our previous conversations, I have expressed that I wanted his job. He goes to the Philippines thrice a year on business trips. (now you know why?)

Last night, while discussing some matters in terms of the industry, he asked me quickly

"You miss her?" Of course I said yes.

Then he asked me, "when will you have some free time?"

I looked at him with my expression asking why?

He then gave me the best good news I've ever heard so far.

"I'll give you my PAL frequent flier miles so you can visit her when you have time..."

Shock and awe.

He then went on to tell me that I should work to get to management position with my current job and that he will give me a job that pays $75,000/yr and that I will be based in the states travelling to the Philippines alot to report to him. He also gave me the option of moving to Arizona should I want to join the company.

Now, tell me that was not a blessing? What have I done to deserve a Girlfriend who loves me so much, to be given all these opporunities?

Someone told me before, you will not be given what you cant handle. This might mean that this is not luck. This is a reason for me to in a position better than what I have right now.

I love this life. I am most happy now. I am aware that there will be more problems to come, but teamed up with my Madsy, I know I will go through it. This journey might be a long one, but it is worth it. Worth it really.

Thank you Father God for sll of these... I owe you big time. I will pay you back.

Mads, I love you. I love you so much...

Currently feeling: relaxed
