Our longest and most difficult tampuhan is finally over. WE’RE OKAY!! I’m so happy, not simply because things are okay, but because I’m so sure that we are going to be better after this. As cliche as it may sound, I truly believe that these fights are giving us tools that we could use in the future.

That being said, I would still rather keep the fights to a minimum. They’re emotionally exhausting!!

1) Was 2005 a good year for you?
- pretty much

2) What was your favorite moment of the year?
- July 30 (the proposal) and July 1-3 the Discovery Weekend Seminar with Dorothy

3) What was your least favorite moment of the year?
- Probably that one incident inside Ruy’s car that led to the 2 week fight. But that’s over and we’re okay so no regrets.

4) Where were you when 2005 began?
- in the house of Ruy’s lola. I celebrated new year with his family.

5) Who were you with?
- Future in-laws….yeah!

6) Where will you be when 2005 ends?
- my lola’s house

7) Who will you be with when 2005 ends?
- With my family, I think we’re celebrating New Year together again this year. I hope Ruy can join us if ever, but he probably won’t enjoy our new years (no fireworks)

After several weeks of not buying anything for myself the shopaholic strikes again. This week I bought:

= a pair of shoes
= leather bag
= a pair of pants
= hot hot hot shirt
= office shirt to be worn during Ruy’s family party (I’m pretending to be a nice, decent girl)
= 2 make-up brushes
= gold belt
= 6 eyeshadows
= volume express mascara

What makes this so bad you might ask? I WANT MORE!!! I’m limiting myself to one more pair of pants, one top, and 2 bras. Hey, I should revive my wardrobe before I get married right? Besides I need to look pretty again, I’ve been looking so pangit lately.
