Today, I got out of bed singing “Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!!!<\/i>“. 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!<\/p>\n 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?<\/i>“, hahaha<\/p>\n 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<\/u><\/b>. 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<\/u>. There’s no point in just blaming each other or mercilessly defending your ego and not listening. You don’t fight so you <\/i>can win, you fight so your relationship<\/i> can win.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>-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.<\/p>\n
