I look myself in the mirror. For the first time I notice that I have aged in two years more than I had in a decade. I don't like what I see. Wrinkles on my forehead, several strands of white hair, dark circles under my eyes. What used to be my long, smooth and flowing hair is now dry with split ends.
I walked into the University campus on the first day of the semester. Though I was generally confident, I was feeling anxious that day. I didn't know what to expect, I was lost and I was late! First in the schedule was Freshmen Orientation at the auditorium. Where the hell is the auditorium? I looked at the map on my hand. Great! Now it is obvious that I'm a bimbo who can't figure out my way. I rushed to where I thought the auditorium was when out of nowhere, somebody bumped into me. Hard. My books flew all over the place and worse was, my cellphone hit the ground and split into three. I was so shocked that I couldn't even think of any curse words to say. 'I'm so sorry! I am rushing, I'll get back to you and pay for the cellphone repair.", the guy said then he rushed off. I was left there almost in tears. Mostly because of anger.
I tied my hair high in a ponytail in an attempt to hide what has been damaged. Fact is, all I want to hide is what I feel. What I still feel after two long years. Damn it! My hair is still horrible. I removed the black plain ponytail holder and rigorously applied hair moisturizer that I almost pulled out all of my hair. Let me at least hide my damaged hair for I know that I cannot hide anything else. My eyes show it all. The sadness, the emptiness and the dejection that I feel.
He found me. Surprising but he did find me. He was tall with broad shoulders and a smile worthy of a tootpaste commercial. He was three years my senior. I should be hating him for what he did. But I doubt that even the most unfeeling girl can resist his charms. He accompanied me to the cellphone repair shop nearby. Then we had lunch, though it was not in the agenda.
I look at my eyes. What used to be vibrant are now very dull. It used to be one of my best features. Light brown and chinky but not so. Most of all it was full of life. It used to emanate ideas and witty comebacks. Now it only emanate pain and loneliness. And I can't believe that the dark circles can actually be darker that I can't decide whether I look like a druggie or a panda. Now where is that mac concealer that I had?
"I got it! I got the job!", he excitedly screamed as he barged into my apartment. He rushed to me and hugged me tight. I was super happy for him. It was his first job and he was blessed enough to get what he has always dreamed of. On the first try. We jumped around for joy, fingers intertwined, then collapsed in bed side by side. "This is a good start. For us.", he said smiling.
The concealer at least hid the dark circles. Then I check my eyebrows. I used to make sure that my eyebrows are well-shaped. Now they are just bushy. I searched for my tweezers in my drawer then started to pluck my eyebrows. Tears started to roll down my face.
On my graduation party, he pulled me over and placed something in my hand. "It's my graudation gift", he grinned. It was a key. "Will you move in with me?", he asked. He invested on a condo unit just recently. It was still under renovation. "Yes.", I answered him without any hesitations.
After a moment I curled down on my bed sobbing until I cannot breath anymore. I can't help it. I hate myself for being weak. For crying over every memory that pops into my head. I hate this but I can't help it. Because after two years, the pain is still as fresh as though the betrayal only happened yesterday. I was crushed down to my core and I can't seem to get back up. No matter how hard I try.
My sister was in second year College that semester and has transferred to one of the Universities in Manila. She didn't have a place to stay yet. "Can she stay with us for a few weeks until she finds a place of her own?", I asked him. "Oh you mean Claire? Yah, of course! I consider your family as my family.", he answered smiling. Then what should have been weeks dragged on to months.
I look at the clock. I have an hour to get ready. It is my sister's son's first birthday and I need to be there. After two years of isolation, I am going to show up. I have to. I dragged myself to my toilet to wash up.
There is a point in a relationship when you just feel ready to take things to the next level. When the present is not enough and you just can't help but look forward to the future. To kids running around the house. To sending them to school every morning To family trips every weekends. To forever. I was feeling this for quite some time already and I was sure that he also did. So I was certain that it was it when he asked me for dinner at a fancy restaurant on our anniversary. I wore my new black above the knee, pencil-cut dress, which I also bought in white. It showed a little cleavage but not too low to be considered promiscuous. It has a very low cut in the back that showed off some skin. I was saving it for a special occassion. Then I matched it with black stilettos and a black Prada purse. I drove to meet him at the restaurant. He was coming from work.
I brushed my long dry hair, re-applied hair moisturizer and tied it back up in a neat ponytail. I finished tweezing my eyebrows. I put on some foundation then pressed powder. Enhanced the shape of my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Put on some eye shadow and mascarra. I covered up the dark circles and blemishes with a concealer. I put on some gold earrings and necklace. Now where is that white dress? There. For the first time, I wore my white above the knee, pencil-cut dress that showed some cleavage but not too low to be considered promiscous. I matched it with black stilettos and a black Prada purse. I am all set.
I didn't expect him to be so tense that I was getting worried. I aksed him what was wrong. "I need to tell you something", he said nervously. I was thinking that a proposal was coming but something in the way the top of his nose was sweating, and the fact that he kept on looking at his plate instead of me, and the way that he won't let go of his spoon and fork though he wasn't really using it to put food into his mouth were indications that something was not right. I looked around. Everything else seem normal. There were a few couples chatting happily. Jazz music was playing in the background. The lights were dim but not too dark, just plain romantic. The waiter serving us wore a genuine smile. I called the waiter and asked for champagne. He came back and poured champagne in our glasses. He drowned the whole thing in one gulp. I stared at him, "What is it that you needed to tell me?", I aksed worriedly. "I got Claire pregnant.", he blurted out. It was too late to drown my own champagne in one gulp.
There is a knock on my door. I got up to open it. "Are you ready?". It was Claire with her son in her arms.

When the price of a slice of cheesecake has risen to P100+, Perfect Loaf surprisingly sells theirs at P65. I was craving for almost all their cakes, so I bought a box with different slices (blueberry cheesecake, oreo cheesecake, rum cake, decadent cake, mango sansrival = yummy!). When I was paying for my purchase, the security guard asked me where I was parked and was ready to carry my box. I told him that I was commuting. He then asked what jeep I was taking. When I told him, he hurriedly got out of the shop and hailed a jeep for me. I was quite embarrassed and so I hurriedly walked to the jeep. He then said, "Panayan yu ku ma'am, papayungan da kayu" (Wait for me ma'am, I'm carrying an umbrella for you). Good customer service isn't it? :)

I haven't done any blunders for quite some time, and now that I did.... well... IT STRESSES ME OUT!!! Really. And because of that I am so not looking forward to work tomorrow.
Speaking of which, we moved to our new office today. I love the free flow of brewed coffee and the fact that you don't have to wash your own mugs. Mugs are provided, which you can just leave at the pantry after use. I still haven't figured out the easiest way to travel there though.
One of my Facebook friends, I believe, had a fight with her husband because she changed her relationship status from married to single. A day or two after that she changed it back to married. I'm thinking that if I were to do the same then my status will be changed everyday or maybe even twice a day. My wall will then be a long list of status changes.
By the way, we made up three days ago.
Ice was so pissed at me last night while we were playing Halo from the Xbox. He is convinced that I'm the worst player ever:
Ice: *Exasperated, trying to be patient tone* Mommy don't go there you will get killed. See. Now you will need to look for health.
Mommy: Where can I ask for help (I even thought it was help)?
Ice: *Super angry tone (it must be, he was SHOUTING)* ARRRGH!!! YOU DON'T ASK FOR HEALTH, YOU LOOK FOR IT!!!
Mommy: Hahahahaha! You are so funny!!!
ICE: ARRRGH!!! I'M NOT FUNNY, I'M ANGRY!!!
I love my new blog template :)
Okay, I'm already talking to myself too much. Enough of this nonsense. Good night! :)

I just got home from a movie date with my sisters at Downtown East. I reached there at about 9:30PM, bought the tickets then had dinner at Just Acia. We booked the 11:45PM showing of Dear John, which meant that we had more than two hours to eat and chit chat. The free flow of coffee did its job to keep me awake for the late show.
--oOo--
I'm so blessed to have cool sisters. They are MORE blessed to have ME though. :)
--oOo--
Dear John is sad but not a tear jerker. Channing Tatum is hot!
--oOo--
The first thing that I wanted to do when we got home was pluck my white hairs. It is so addictive! I'm such a sicko, my sisters told me. I need to dye my hair very soon!
--oOo--
Farah invited us for clubbing but I said I can't come because of the movie date. Then she actually got angry and started bitching at me. She didn't want to share her Mentos, said that she's not gonna invite me for anything and that I'm out of her mailing list. Hahaha! This girl. Mood swings!
--oOo--
I had coffee with Farah (yes that same Farah) and Fizah before I met my sisters, who were both coming from the city area. Actually I had hot choco for a change. Farah was still in her hater mood. Fizah, on the other hand, was acting schizo as one minute she was all bubbly and happy then the next minute she was so quiet. She doesn't read my blog so it was okay to say that. Haha! Just kidding Fizah! Love them both. :)

Come to think of it, this day was quite eventful. We had a RAC CNY lunch at Imperial Chinese Restaurant (or something that sounds like that). I suspect that Stephen Lai (our boss) frequented the place because he was on first name basis with the waitresses. Or maybe he just read their name plates? Now I'm not quite sure anymore. In any case, we were so full that all I can think of after that was siesta!
--oOo--
I haven't packed my office stuff! We are moving to a new office building next week. The office is really cool. It has an open concept, which I think is very fresh. There are no partitions. The bosses will practically be sitting with everyone else, not in their own offices and not even in cubicles. Okay maybe that's the downside of it. But everything else looks good. There are lounges and ikea-style pantries. The cafeteria looks like a bar, complete with a pool table and computers like in a net cafe. There are shower rooms and prayer rooms. Okay that's about what I've seen so far. The only problem is going there! It is very complicated. I will need to take the bus to Pasir Ris MRT then take the train to Tana Merah, then transfer to another train going to Expo then take the shuttle bus going to the office. I must find an easier way to get there! Soon!!!
--oOo--
And so I told one of my colleagues that the office is very nice. He replied, 'You mean you find it appealling??'. And I was like, 'Um, yeah?? Don't you??'. Then he asked me what is so appealing about it. And I don't know why I even bothered to explain. Then he said, 'I don't find it appealing at all. You see, how often can you use the shower rooms? How often can you eat at the cafeteria? Blah blah blah'. Argh! Those were not even reasonable reasons. I wonder if people are born haters or has circumstances made them that way.

Or maybe because the older you get, the more you resent change.

I haven't spoken to my husband in two weeks.

I'm so freaking sleepy! Good night. =)
Being a mother is indescribably wonderful. But it is also tough. Seriously. I couldn't even begin to say how sad I feel when Ice ignores me when I get home from work. It is petty I know. Or the time when he sadly told me that one of his classmates said that he's a dirty fellow because he's very messy when he eats. I lay awake worrying that he might not be accepted by his peers. The thought was horrible that I almost cried. Or the times when I miss him so much that I want him near me eventhough he's asleep. Sadly, he doesn't want to sleep beside me (not all the time) because he'd rather sleep with Tita Lolit (his nanny). He'd say that Tita Lolit wants to sleep beside him too. This hurts so much that it leaves a hole in my heart every time. It was terrible when his teacher told me that he doesn't play with the boys and only plays puzzles by himself or with quiet girls. I was worried that the other boys might have been bullying him. He improved as school went on. But still, it was a dreadful thought.
Though I have only been a mother for four years, I am beginning to know that being a mother is tough. When Tita Lolit's daughter came to visit, Ice was very excited. He has been talking about her arrival for days. When she finally arrived, he started to ignore me. I asked him to have his dinner before he play, then he scornfully replied 'I don't care about you', then kept on playing. I got up angrily and went to my room. A few moments later he went inside my room to use my toilet, I shouted at him, 'Get out of my room, I don't like you!'. Then he burst into tears and went back to his room. Ronald asked him to say sorry to me and so he went inside my room crying and said sorry. I ignored him and closed the door on him. Yeah, I know, that was very mean. But I was so hurt when he told me off. I couldn't sleep that night and was very sad for a few days. I said sorry to him a couple of days after that by the way.
Four years. It has only been four years. I couldn't begin to think how it would be like when Ice will have his own friends and wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore. When I would need to beg for his time and attention. What about his first heart break? Will my heart break too? Will I want to slap the girl, drag her on the floor, tie her to a tree and feed her to an army of ants? I remember when I was in College. I was super hectic. I'd normally be home at about 2-3AM almost everyday. And everytime my dad would be there waiting. He'd cook me supper then chat with me while I eat. I now know that it was because he misses me. He'd give anything just to spend time with me eventhough it meant that he needed to wait.
Four years and I am beginning to know. That a mother's capacity to love and to suffer is limitless. Because a mother's emotions are not her only emotions. Whatever a child feels is also felt by the mother, magnified a hundredfold.
At four, Ice is more articulate than a lot of people I know. His grammar and sentence construction are commendable. He thinks and reacts very fast... Yah, whatever, I'm the mother so I can say anything good about my kid, haha!
But really, it seems like I'll never run out of these...
On Halloween Day, we planned to go to Escape for the Halloween party but then it rained so hard the whole day:
Mommy: Let's pray for the rain to stop so we can go.
(And so we prayed. After a while the rain stopped)
Mommy: See, the rain stopped, we can go now. :)
Ice: The rain stopped? Because of me?? The rain stopped because of me??? That means I saved the whole world!!!
Ice goes to Daddy: Daddy the rain stopped because of me. :)
Ice goes to Tita Lolit: Tita Lolit the rain stopped because of me. :)
And so when the rain stopped, I changed him into his cowboy costume:
Mommy: You are so cute!
Ice: I'm not cute!!! *angry face*
Mommy: Why? But you are cute!
Ice: I'm handsome! Cowboys are not cute, they're handsome!
28/11/2009 - Onac was having his hair cut at the barber shop while Ice sat at the waiting area. He was so pissed when an auntie sat beside him that he showed his angry face. He tried his best to sit as far from the auntie (maybe around 6 inches away) and as closer to the wall as possible. The following day:
Mommy: Why don't you like sitting beside aunties?
Ice: Because they're not beautiful enough...
In November 2009
Mommy: I hope I win the toto!
Ice: Mommy, what's the toto? It's just like Tito Totoy.
(Tito = Uncle, Totoy- Tita Lolit's (Ice's sitter) husband)
05/12/09 - After we collected the SCB Marathon race entry pack at Expo:
Ice: Mommy, is toto the big race?
(He suddenly thought that I was hoping for us to win the marathon)
6/12/09 - After Ice finished the Kid's Dash at the SCB Marathon:
Ice: Mommy I won the race! Everyone was cheering for me! Even the guy on top (the host at the stage I suppose). He said, 'That boy, that's me (side comment), is so fast! He's even faster than his daddy!'
07/12/09 - After the marathon, I took a one day leave and met up with Foon (colleague) and Brayden (her son) for swimming at the Chinese Swimming Club
Foon: Hi Ice, how old are you?
Ice: I'm four years old but I'm just like six years old.
That same day, Ice and I went inside the girls' toilet to change him to his wet suit:
Ice: (in a whsper) Mommy... I think we better hurry... before they know that I have a birdie.
Sometime in October 2009 - Ice and Tita Lolit were at the lift at Lucky Plaza and an auntie greeted Ice:
Auntie: Hello little boy.
Ice: I'm not a little boy! I'm four years old, I'm a big boy!
29/11/2009 - During dinner at Expo, Ice was telling May (colleague) that he wants a baby sister:
Mommy: How can we make a baby sister?
Ice: When you eat a lot of food the food will turn into a sister.
That same night, May asked him if he already has a girlfriend:
Ice whispered to me: Xiya is not my girlfriend anymore.
Mommy: Why?
Ice: Because she removed a sticker from my water bottle.
Mommy to May: He said Xiya is not his girlfriend anymore...
Ice: Don't tell her!!!
28/12/2009 - My in-laws, Ronald, Ice and I went to Jurong West for swimming. When it was already time to go, everyone else left for the shower room to take a bath except for Ice and Ronald.
Ice: *looked around then started crying* Where's my family?!?!
That same night, I was coughing so bad...
Ice: Mommy, are you dying?
In January 2010 - Ice and I were at Pepay's house for her farewell party when Ice saw the boys smoking:
Ice: Aha! You are smoking! That's bad! My daddy smokes too.
Pepay: Didn't you tell your daddy that smoking is bad?
Ice: Yes. But well, he never listens.
In January 2010 - Ronald, Ice and I were at Rejoice and Mike's place. Ronald and Ice were playing with Mike's PS3 game.
Ronald: Ice kill that bad guy!
Ice: Daddy that is not the bad guy!
Ronald: How did you know?
Ice: Because look, he's carrying a guitar and not a sword!
In January 2010 - While I was putting Ice to sleep.
Mommy: Good night my angel.
Ice: But mommy, angels don't sleep...
In January 2010 - During Rhea and Jojo's wedding, Ulrich, his cousin, didn't want to wear his barong.
Ronald: If you don't wear this you won't be handsome like me!
In January 2010 - Ice sings:
Ice: 'Cannot buy cannot buy tantantantan pull the break' (Poker Face) and 'You're my single way you're my single way' (Single Ladies).
In February 2010 - I was having a terrible headache and so I asked Ice to massage my head. While massaging my head he prayed:
Ice: In the name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Spirit... God, please take away my mommy's head......... ache.
In February 2010 - Ice was taking a bath inside our toilet when I went to his room to get his clothes:
Ice: Mommy come back here, I'm scared of ghosts!
Mommy: There are no ghosts!
Ice: But mommy, I have a third eye, I can see ghosts!
Mommy: (thinking to herself) Did he just say third eye??
In February 2010 - Onac was hugging Ice:
Daddy: You are my pillow!
Ice: You are my bed! (because Onac is bigger and softer than him)

I love long conversations with my dad. We'd talk about anything and everything until the wee hours of the morning. It is usually over food, because obviously, I love eating and he, on the other hand loves cooking. He never runs out of things to say or stories to tell. He IS very talkative!
Conversations with my dad are very enriching. It may be in the form of new knowledge or information. He knows the answer to almost anything. Seriously. Or it may be the comfort words I want to hear when I'm down. It may be a drop (or sometimes loads!) of wisdom when I am lost or is clueless on know how to handle situations. Or it may be in the form of reminders or caution when I'm not doing the right thing. In any way, conversations with him are never a waste of time. He has a very good, sarcastic sense of humor, so there are times when we'd just laugh our hearts out. He is a food for my brain and my soul.
One afternoon, we were talking about my grandmother who already passed away around 8 years ago. He was telling me about how kind-hearted and generous she was although not everybody saw that in her. Then he started tearing and said that he misses her. The tears turned into sobs and before I knew it, he was already weeping. He was weeping because he misses his mother so much. I just sat there and did absolutely nothing. I didn't know what to say or what to do to make him feel better. I felt his grief and I'd do anything to share it. To make it less painful for him. But I can't. I don't know how. It has always been him who comforts us, who knows all the right things to say in any given situation.
I am scared. I don't want that to ever happen to me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to live through it. Worse is, I don't want to later on regret that I haven't spent as much time with him as I can. Now. Now that he's still here.
I wanna go home.

Ronald and I planned an itinerary for the long weekend (November 27-29), and yesterday's schedule was at Liang Court to catch Astroboy Live. We came in just in time but the allocated space for the show was already packed. The hostess conducted games before Astroboy and Uran, his sister, came up on stage to perform a dance number. Unlike shows that we used to watch in Suntec / Marina Square, which were like real (mini) theatre plays, this was a complete waste of travel time. After the show was a photo op and that was it. At least Ice enjoyed the crowd participation during the games and I think he also somehow enjoyed the dancing. He was scared to take pictures with the mascots though so we had to force him to.
Anyway, after the show was dinner. We discovered an Italian Restaurant called Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe at the second level. I would go for anything Italian at any day and I was surprised that Ronald gave in too easily (pizza / pasta is not really his thing). The place didn't exactly look classy, it reminded me of a cafeteria actually. Ronald disagreed. But it was too crowded and noisy too.
When we checked the menu then we realized why a lot of people are dining here. The price list was pretty cheap for Italian food. We ordered Oven-Baked Escargot (SGD5.58), Spicy Chicken Drumlets, 5 pieces (SGD4.48), Pineapple and Bacon Pizza, 9-inch (SGD6.98), Pepperoncino Bacon Spaghetti (SGD5.98) and Seafood Pizza (SGD6.98). The drink station consisted of both hot and cold drinks for SGD2.58 per adult and SGD1.38 per kid. The price range is cheaper than that of Pastamania and just a little bit higher than a foodcourt's. The pasta had an ample serving of bacon but I prefer it to be a little bit spicier (it's supposed to be spicy to begin with). The pizza was thin crust and the toppings were of generous (enough) amount. It was good enough. The drumlets were very small and weren't spicy at all, which was okay because Ice wouldn't have eaten it otherwise. The escargot was in garlic sauce in olive oil and was actually nice. I didn't even know that escargot is snail and my first time experience wasn't bad. The drinks were value for money. I had two glasses of iced tea and two cups of cappuccino, which is normally more than SGD2.58.

Since today is a public holiday, Ronald and I were in a festive mood yesterday (last day of work) and so we went out for dinner and movie.
Dinner at F.I.S.H. (Tampines 1) was very filling. F.I.S.H. is the Halal niche of Fish and Co that serves everything but pork (of course) and alcoholic drinks. I ordered Baramundi with Cheddar Cheese Crust plus Salad Buffet at SGD18.80. Ronald had Grilled Marinated Lamb Chop at SGD16.90. Then we had my proclaimed 'favorite cake' Chocolate Pecan Cluster at SGD6.95. The fish was okay but I expected more cheese because it said 'cheese crust'. It was a little malansa too but they provided lemon, which tasted good on the fish. It was served with potatoes and tomatoes. I liked the small potatoes but am not really a fan of tomatoes. The best part of my dish was the Salad Buffet! I liked it more than the meal. The variety wasn't really very big but it was still satisfying. And though it said no sharing, Ronald was sneaking some spoonfuls when the servers were not looking. The lamb chop was tasty but a little tough for me and the serving was small. It was also served with potatoes and tomatoes. Now come to my favorite part, the dessert! I really love that cake. It is a moist chocolate cake topped with chunks of brownies, pecan and lots and lots of caramel! Yummy. =)
After dinner, we rushed to Tampines Mall to watch The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I like this better than the first one. Okay, I'm not gonna be a wanna-be critic of this movie at all! I just want to say that both Ronald and I enjoyed it. I like the characters, they're all beautiful! I also like the melancholic theme and the twists of the story. It is just ironic that some parts are rather slow paced but some seem rushed with no proper transition. Okay I'm stopping now... I will be soon reading the Twilight e-books stored in my laptop for almost a year already. I am convinced now that it's gonna be a good read. :)
