That night we weren’t 25-29 year old parents with bills to pay.

That night we weren’t corporate work horses slaving away over 8 hours each day just to give 32% of their salaries to the gov’t without a clue as to where tha money’s going.

That night we weren’t concerned about the dollar, or the economy of the country.

That night we didn’t worry about the issues of our extended families.

That night we regressed — we were 16, high school sweethearts maybe? Using our cellphone (which our parents bought for us) to capture the moments after our High School Dance. 

It was fun! Couples should regress every once in a while.

p.s.

Thank goodness for the internal camera of the Motorolla V6MAXX

I had my haircut 2 days ago…

I’ve been dying to cut my hair for the longest time but the people around me have been discouraging me. Ruy eventually gave me the go signal and so I decided to chop off 7 inches worth of hair. =)

What’s the point of getting a hair cut if there’s no shock value right?

 This was my inspiration, although I told my stylist to fix it in such a way that I can still go to work.

So he cut it that way (it took soooo long) and then he styled it in a less funky way.

This annoyingly pa-cute photo of myself doesn’t do the cut justice. Mac really outdid himself with this cut.

Here’s the issue though. Stupid Olivia washed her hair before going to sleep last night, then fell asleep  with damp hair. When she woke up, guess what she had? Hair standing up at the back of her head!! Seriously standing up.  The problem is, I didn’t have time to do anything with it cause Ruy was already going to be late for work.

Thank God for scarves!!

I know a lot of us here in the Philippines have relatives all over the US but particularly in California. It’s quite nerve-wracking here this in the news and not knowing if your relatives are okay. =(

A friend of mine just exclaimed that the school she used to work for was enveloped in the flame as well. It seems quite surreal when people you know are related in one way or another to a huge tragedy. It gives you a perspective that these things can happen to you, you’re not invincible to the forces of nature and to accidents. Scary!!
