Today, I got out of bed singing “Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!!!“. Wait, whutttt? Truth is, I had such a hard time waking up. Blame it on a very busy past few days, my new pillow, or maybe even my innate sleepyhead nature, but my body felt like lead. I sang it in reference to tomorrow’s upcoming holiday where I’ll get to sleep in and be king. Boo yah!

We had a barbecue after work, so having learned my lesson from more than a dozen mosquito bites from Manila, I went all out wearing long sleeves, jeans, and my Nike’s.. To which I asked my boyfriend, “do I look like a boy?“, hahaha

Speaking of my boyfriend, today, I gained a new insight regarding relationships: You don’t fight to win, you argue to better understand each other. We, okay, mostly I, wanted to make an anniversary blog post about the lessons we’ve learned in our two years together, but it’s a lot harder than I thought. You know you’ve learned a lot but when you need to rack your brain and jot it down from the top of your head, you draw a blank. So, yeah. Back to the lesson. It’s important to speak your mind and air your grievances to resolve your issues. There’s no point in just blaming each other or mercilessly defending your ego and not listening. You don’t fight so you can win, you fight so your relationship can win.

So, that’s how my Wednesday has been. Sorry if you find this a bit random, but I wanted to do a bit more casual, slightly personal, LiveJournal-ish blog post. The past few days have been surreal, in a less than ideal way, and I’m trying to put everything into words in the hopes that it can get through to someone, if only me at the very least. Have a good rest of the week! I’ll catch up on sleep and hopefully be able to churn out a deeper post and sort through the roller coaster that was.

My agenda for tomorrow, hahaha!
