It is a rainy YELLOW day!

The former president Corazon C. Aquino was laid to rest today. I watched the funeral convoy's trip from Manila Cathedral up to the road near the Manila Memorial Park. I have never seen that much people in my lifetime for someone's funeral. I guessing that the reason behind that is either they are really touched what Cory left behind or they just want to see Kris Aquino. Either way, for my own point of view, Cory was the president I grew up with... from 1986-1992 she was the one in office. She will always be the one I see on the television and on the front pages of newpapers and magazines. She was the symbol of our country's freedom. I see her as a brave person. Imagine having to take care of 5 children while your husband is imprisoned and then facing challenges after your partner's death. She just did not put on a brave face, she lived the essence of courage.

To be honest, I shed a tear while watching Kris' farewell speech to her mom. I salute Mrs. Aquino for being a mother, specially with a daughter like Kris. You can see that she has the patience and the love for her children. A forgiving mother at that. I can say that she is a role model for everyone. She was not just a woman who stood by her man but went miles just to continue the legacy of what her husband left behind.

The Philippine politics will never be the same without Cory. People respected her opinion and views. Even the church supports her. She just have a certain effect on people. Imagine, they recorded a zero crime rate in Manila yesterday!!! Good bye to Mrs. Aquino. I know she will go straight to heaven.... We should continue to fight for our freedom and democracy in our country. Cory might have not died the way her husband went but died fighting for our country and that is worth noting.

Been too busy....

The last entry that I have on this blog was last May! I have been too busy with so much stuff. Last week of my I underwent tonsillectomy. Yup, you read it right. I have my tonsils removed. Around 3 years ago, they took my appendix out as well. I guess the doctors will eventually run out of things to take out of my body...useless organs for that. During the operation, the doctor said that they had a hard time to take out the tonsils since my mouth is so small and I have a short neck. They said that I was not breathing by myself during the operation. Hmmm... maybe I should be dead now.

With this near death experience, Christian and I have a talk on what will ever happen to him in case I just went. We then ended up talking about getting married. We are two adults that just talked about marriage and right there and then decided to get married....

This is what I wrote on our wedding website (That is what I have been busy about also!)

There is NO PROPOSAL at all...

Yes, you have read it right.. there is no proposal... no ring... no kneeling down... no romantic dinner...

We just talked about it.. and that is it... pancit! It was like... We were watching tv and he said "you think we should get married?" and I said "i think we should." Next question was "church or civil" ... I said "church"... Christian said "civil," I said "it can be civil this December." I told him that we might also spend the same amount.. Christian said... "let's make it Church.. next year in time when my sister is coming home from the US." That's what happen.

We have been living together for 5 years now. We are both agreeing adults. Even though I wanted to have the ideal proposal, we are both ready to take this relationship to the higher level and that is the most important thing.

After that, we went to reception venues, checked out churches, participated on bridal fairs and all the things connected to weddings. I can't believe that this is happening also.

There are stuff that came up at work as well. Too much things to learn and practice. Me and my SOLAIR friends also started up a small head hunting company and we are now on the stage of finding clients.

I hope I can keep up with all these things!!! Time will only tell.
