V-Day Plans and Wedding Blues

After barely making the day yesterday, here I am crunched on the couch in the flat.

You know the girl’s thing that comes every month.

It was just recently when I had started feeling too much pain, Dysmenorrhea.

I used to have it but the pain now is excruciating.

I already planned to go to the hospital last night to get shots of the pain-killer, thanks God, it subsided after taking 2 tabs of Mefenamic Acid.

Then come 3 AM, I still can’t sleep, the pain had resumed and there I was up until 30 past 7 in the morning.

I got up at 3 in the afternoon, feeling soreness in every muscle.

Damn.

I hate being a girl.

Sigh.

During those moments, when I was suffering from pain, I was chatting with Mumu and Ate Barney, talking about stuffs.

Ate Barney, a friend and colleague, and I were talking over Blackberry Messenger about how her day had gone: she went out with friends, bought a dress for V-day and we were joking about our Horoscopes for the day. It said something about making the first move. We were joking about proposal lines since I will have to make the first move and we were laughing to death.

I told her, I will propose to him on Valentine’s Day and say:
Me: Mumu, will you marry me…
Mumu: Whhhaaatttt???!!?
Mumu: I am giving you options; will you marry me or marry me?
Hahaha!!!

After minutes of almost farting because of too much laughter, I was talking to Mumu about it.

A little serious conversation.

I was asking him when he plans to marry and the like.

He told me after 2 years and asked me when I would like.

I told him point blank: NOW.

He then added: I might make it 3.

I said, “2 Years is long enough and my eggs might be rotten by that time”.

He then replied that I am crazy.

I answered back with a very proud “YES I am” hahaha.

He then said “You know what? You can leave me now and go; I don’t like to be blamed for the rotten eggs”.

I said, “I don’t like; I have choices. I can leave you and go home after a month’s time, but I had chosen to stay and wait what will happen next”.

Sigh.

Maybe I am just pressured as almost everybody around me is getting married or had settled down already.

Married Girls No. 1a, 1b and 1c

Dianne, a best friend since High School, now happily married with a classmate as well, now has 2 kids.

Jheng, a good friend, now enjoys the company of her Sweety and Baby Julia.

Ate Khaty, whose married life I adored so much, has a pretty perfect and normal life: a lovely son who knows how to pose in front of the camera and a husband who seems like her boyfriend/bestfriend forever.

Getting Married No. 2

Ate Reyn, a cousin, another NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth), will be wed on 01/10/10 with her boyfriend of 2 years.

To Be Married Soon No. 3

Ceejh, a bestfriend as well, will get married in 2 years time with the love of her life, Mike.

Pressure…Pressure…

I know I will get married, if not now some other time anyways, so I have to wait patiently and pray that everything will be fine between me and Mumu.

Instead, I will just plan on how I can save enough and do something special on V-Day.

I am thinking of getting a new dress, place reservations for a romantic dinner and buy him the bracelet that I had found at Villaggio Mall.

Sigh.

Hopefully, everything will be fine…

For now, I will just stay in love and watch Wedding AVPs. Hehehe.

Ceejh and I used to watch Jason Magbanua’s Videos then would talk about our Big Day.

I am leaving you with one of my favorite videos by Jason, sorry I just have the link but take a quick look.

Year-Enders and New Year Starters

After almost a week of working over the Year-End Reports, I can finally stretch my arms up and lie down peacefully at my bed, and contemplate on the things that had happened to me in 2009.

The previous year had been a good one: many blessings, enough trials, too much birthday parties to attend and bonding moments, love-hate relationship with the boyfriend, “I hope I can be there” moments with my family over the phone, “I Miss You, Guys” drama over YM with old friends, etc.

I had celebrated my second birthday here in Qatar…

I had been with Mumu for more than a year and still counting…

I had been blessed with understanding parents and brothers…

I had found good friends here…

I was promoted at work...

I moved to another building then another flat…

I had spoken to Mumu’s mom…

I had pregnancy scares (thinking that I got pregnant several times haha)…

I had crazy thoughts of dying young of acute gastro because of eating crabs with coconut milk…

Sigh…

Just ate dinner with Mumu and some friends, with Mr. A, his wife Mrs. J – a good friend and their cute baby, Julia, friends from the office, Mr. Blackberry Guy and his wife who came to visit him here.

After dinner, we decided to go in Mumu’s flat: the guys had played PS3 and the girls had watched “The Haunting at Connecticut”.

That’s how we had celebrated and welcomed 2010.

It’s been another year… I hope this year will also be a good if not, a better one…

The new flat had made me feel better…

No more conflicts with flatmates who are also part of the team I am supervising.

No more flying roaches (eeewwww!)

A quieter and homey place…

A good start for a new Joana…

No New Year’s Resolution for me this year but I will still thrive for nothing but the best things in life!
