My emotions are valid. Most importantly, I am responsible for my own happiness.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am allowed to feel sad, frustrated, guilt, disappointed, anger, disgusted, helpless, and to feel tired. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Most people question my happiness because I am well... quiet. Don't get me wrong, I am good at making my family and friends laugh. I say the silliest thing. My mom used to tell me that I like acting crazy just to make her laugh. Let's say I always give the best punchlines in my family. I even laugh at my own jokes because I find them brilliant at times. (ehem ehem)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">A cup of coffee can bring out different emotions from me. A good cup of coffee makes me happy and satisfied. A poor one frustrates and angers me.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Purchasing a book of my favorite author brings me to cloud 9. Writing, reading, and listening to poems calm me.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flowers and cats make me smile. I love waves and sunsets. I adore trees and sunrise. Clouds and skies give me joy. White wine and Hoegaarden rosee excites me. hahaha</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">What I am trying to say is I know what makes me happy. What irks me is when someone tells me "I hope you're <b>finally </b>happy." Emphasis on finally which connotes I was never happy. (facepalm) I know they mean well but... WTH! I am allowed to cry and complain when I feel that I am burdened. I am allowed to feel. Not because I bawled my eyes out it means I am not capable of being happy. (shakes my head) Don't expect me to smile and laugh when I am drowning in my problems. Don't blame me when I have intrusive thoughts... believe me when I say I always, always try my best to find the rainbow after the storm, the light at the end of the tunnel, sunshine after the rain. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">My parents, my sisters, my nephew, my friends, and of course my partner add to my happiness but not the source of my happiness.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">These past few months, I thought I lost my mojos. But here I am, feeling better. A friend once told me when I video called him, "Oh my, your aura looks different. You look happy." coz I am. I woke up one day and decided to be happy not for anyone but for me. Oh let me tell you, it is liberating. I was stuck for some time but it gave me time to reflect on things. I was not actually stuck, I was in hermit mode. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I will end this blog by sharing a little affirmation that I found in TikTok that might help anyone who is in a rut right now.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am welcoming a healthy balance between all aspects of my life.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">My beauty from within shines to the surface and is recognized.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I make the best decisions for myself</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">And everything always works out in my favor.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hang in there, okay. Things will be better.</span></div>itsmisskateyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09360773930079793724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758109969645783208.post-64115115364854230192021-09-27T22:19:00.011+08:002021-09-28T01:59:20.801+08:00Emotional wall<p> <span style="font-family: verdana;">I passed my time by watching Tiktok. My FYP has a lot of video varieties. I came across a video that explains why a relationship fails. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">What is an emotional wall? An emotional wall is when you feel detached from what is happening around you. What brings you joy, no longer brings you joy or any kind of emotion. This is when you stopped feeling anything at all.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Signs that you are losing emotional connection in your relationship</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. No meaningful conversation</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Conversations turns to arguments</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. Impatience and irritability</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">4. Constant misunderstanding and misinterpretation</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">5. No longer interested in each other's interests</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I could not believe that a 40-second video can summarize the current state of my relationship.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now that I know what we are both dealing with, the more reason for me to be there for him. I know how it feels to be left with your own thoughts. I want my partner to know and feel that I am with him not only in happy times but most especially during his dark times.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is important to reach out to people you trust especially when you are burnt out. Being alone is quite tempting but it is not good in the long run. Having someone to talk to is actually liberating especially when you realized that they can relate to what you are going through.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a way to break that emotional wall he built between us. It is to rebuild the connection we once had. It takes a lot of work but I have a sledgehammer with me.</span></p>itsmisskateyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09360773930079793724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758109969645783208.post-82436591894015074412021-09-26T00:18:00.005+08:002021-09-26T16:04:27.264+08:00I choose us<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am no angel nor a saint. I make mistakes and I am no model girlfriend. I can be clingy and wants undivided attention when I am with you. But I also respect personal space as I needed that too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">From the beginning of our relationship until now... I am choosing <b>US</b>. No, I am not choosing you or me but <b>US</b>. Because a relationship is a two-way street. It takes two people to make it work. One may need to work harder but both need a contribution. I am choosing <b>US </b>over uncertainty, over fear, over doubts, over problems, and over past mistakes. I am choosing love, trust, and commitment. I <b><i>am </i></b>choosing <b>US</b>. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_K6qAChVYBx-oR4NSAZNB36onZ6GQFokN9HPDCb-IQbsxoQ6tLiZ6jX8x6LEiEilIEqZpzwCSqTLw2RM2WXlx3MpUJbDzudJVZMFwGvxKDZFeflSOVlFBYe4VL45s7RGfONSZACK1Vg/s751/242041864_855563098466049_5560613173429775304_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="563" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_K6qAChVYBx-oR4NSAZNB36onZ6GQFokN9HPDCb-IQbsxoQ6tLiZ6jX8x6LEiEilIEqZpzwCSqTLw2RM2WXlx3MpUJbDzudJVZMFwGvxKDZFeflSOVlFBYe4VL45s7RGfONSZACK1Vg/w285-h380/242041864_855563098466049_5560613173429775304_n.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I will be here waiting for you.

It takes <b>courage, acceptance, trust, maturity</b>, and <b>forgiveness</b> from the person who got hurt.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I believe in giving chances because I believe that <b>people grow </b>and <b>people change</b>. People learn from their mistakes. A person is not defined by his past mistakes.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">Out of my 4 exes, I am on good terms with 3. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">From all 3 exes, I am really close to one. Though our breakup was really painful for both sides, we remained friends. I was his mentor and confidant. I pushed him to pursue his dream. I listen to his problems (career, family, and relationship). I taught him to be a better leader to his team. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">He was very vocal in saying that I was his "The one that got away", his "Greatest love" and he regrets hurting me. I believe him because somehow, I felt the same. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">We, including his family, remained in contact. I am actually his daughter's Godmother. When his baby was born, I was the first non-family to hold her. She's beautiful and so precious. Before she was born, I receive regular updates and ultrasounds. His hometown was far from my home but that didn't stop me from attending my goddaughter's birthday celebrations. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">I invited his family to my place of work to have dinner with me. When his sister decided to study again, I helped in her thesis. When his sister decided to go back to being a hotelier, I was one of her character references. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">His family attended my Mother's wake in 2018. That's how we were even after the breakup. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">Fast forward to 2021, we met again. We're both single. During that reunion, we said our piece. It was the first time in 6 years that we have personally spoken of what transpired in our relationship. We cried, we said our sorries but ultimately, we felt that we still love each other. We're both scared since we are happy being friends. Both our families know the pain that we felt when we broke up. Understandably, we know that if we choose to be together again, people around us will not accept it but we decided to take the leap of faith. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">We were happy and promised to make it work this time. We agreed to a long-distance relationship because we believed we are more mature to handle it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">I was with him during his quarantine (in the Philippines, Seattle, and inside the cruise) since he needs to complete it as a new work protocol. We have opposite timezones so my morning is his evening and vice versa. One will have to stay up late or wake up early. We watch each other sleep via video call. We talked about anything. We even had coffee dates. He's inside his cabin while I sit inside the coffee shop. These are the small sacrifices that we promised to do for our relationship. I hold these moments dearly. Then the quarantine period finished. He started working. Communication became less and less. When he told me that the internet on a cruise is expensive, I accepted that our communication will be minimal. My love language is Act of Service and Quality time which is why it became a concern. We had our talk, I told him that I will support him and understand him. He's really busy and he also does not call his daughter as often as before because his work hours can reach between 12-16 hours per day. He's exhausted by the end of his shift.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">The last time we talked, he said he does not feel the same way as he did before he left for work. He felt that we rushed things and now he is unsure of what he felt about me. It broke my heart because when I said yes to him when he asked me if he can be in my life again as a partner, I accepted him wholeheartedly. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">For me, choosing him again is never a mistake. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">I gave my trust again even though the reason for our breakup was about </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">trust</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;"> and </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">loyalty/faithfulness</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">. He told me there's no third party. I <b>believe </b>him. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">I am teary-eyed while I type this. Typing it down is somewhat therapeutic. I was single for 2 years before we got back together. I took care of my heart so when someone comes along to offer their love, I am ready to open my heart again. Then he came back, I know my heart is ready to love again. My heart is ready to love <b>him </b>again.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">Do I love him? <b>Yes, I still do</b>. I don't know what happened from the time of our last talk to this day because my love for him never falter. Every day, I choose him even on difficult days.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So the question<i> </i></span><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i>"Should one give a second chance to the person who previously hurt you?"</i> - </b><span style="font-family: verdana;">if you are ready to open your heart again, accept him/her, and ready to get hurt again... then my answer is <b>YES</b>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. - Alfred Lord Tennyson </i></b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This song explains how I feel about my relationship: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvmDcqS2LmU" target="_blank">Snoh Aalegra - You</a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Read this post about him</span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;">:</span></span><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://itsmisskatey.blogspot.com/2015/08/dear-ex.html" target="_blank">I thought you were my last</a></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><span style="font-size: x-small;">When he asked me how to overcome heartache:</span></span><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://itsmisskatey.blogspot.com/2018/04/how-to-move-on.html" target="_blank">How to move on</a></span></p>itsmisskateyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09360773930079793724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758109969645783208.post-31407432509653266042018-04-05T19:34:00.004+08:002021-09-26T10:14:14.394+08:00How to move on?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Hi Loves! It has been a while.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I have moved country since 2016. Well actually, I'm back in the Philippines.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">So... My friend broke up with his girlfriend and was really sad. He asked me if I can write a blog post to share some pointers on how to move on.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Here are some of my tips on how to move on.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">1. Don't rush things</span><br />
</span><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">It is okay not to be okay. Always remember that healing takes time.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">2. Cry it all out</span><br />
</span><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Feel all the pain, sadness, and anger that you have. Sometimes all you need actually is a good cry. Don't be afraid to cry an ugly cry.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">3. Be busy</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">As simple as it can be, being busy helps you to focus on other important things. </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">4. Rediscover yourself</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">You have all the time to rediscover your old love. It can be love in art, movies, playing a sport, or whatever that will make you smile.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">5. Meet new people</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This does not mean that you need to go out on a date. You can meet new people in your Zumba class or book club. Build new relationships and enjoy the company of new people that share your values and passion.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">6. Improve on yourself</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Rediscovering oneself is as important as improving yourself. You may have forgotten that you plan to study swimming or learn how to ride a bike. Now, you can do that.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">7. Enjoy life!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Not because things did not go as you want them to be, you should stop living your life. Sometimes an end is actually a beginning. A new chapter to read, a blank canvas to paint, or a new road to trek.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Healing begins when you start to let go of the past and start loving yourself.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Have you experienced heartbreak? How did you overcome that stage?</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Speak to you soon.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">xoxo,</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Katey</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm back!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have relocated from Qatar to Thailand. Now that I am (quite) settled in, I think I can start blogging again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And since I moved, I am having a challenging time making friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Making friends should be natural and not forced. I am the type of person who is civil to everyone. I am no Ms. Congeniality but I'm also not Ms. Snob. Working in a hospitality business for 11 years, you have that "Smile Face On" every time you meet someone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always look for someone that I'll have a special connection. Meeting a lot of people from different background, different culture and different social status, I have "profiled" the people that I would like to be friends with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I look for meaningful conversation. Something that I can share my thoughts and learn from. I hate gossiping because I don't want people to talk about me behind my back. Though it is inevitable, at least, I try not to be same as them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I try to shy away from negative people, because I know negativity will affect your view about life. I have met people who complain about everything. I came to a point that I started complaining about small things. Then I realized that the people I hang out with are poisoning me. That is not healthy. So I started to gradually remove myself from that situation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have friends who live in gossiping and I don't want to even participate on those stuff. They were bad mouthing a person that is close to me even though they have not spent an ample time to know the person. When they asked me about my opinion, I blatantly said "She's good to me. She has not done anything to hurt or offend me. So I have nothing bad to say." With that, they stopped talking about my friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have different friends from different group but I always have tiny but trusted number of friends. I am not the type of person who likes to be in a large group. If I do, I will have 1 or 2 people that I will bond and share special connection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thinking back, I have always had 2 close friends from elementary to high school. College is a different thing. I have always thought that I am weird for being quiet. Later in life, I realize that I am an introvert forcing myself to be an extrovert.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Currently, I have one close friend that I share my thoughts and tries to encourage me to be better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know I don't need to force myself in making friends. I just want someone who enjoys drinking coffee while reading a book with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want a meaningful connection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do you look for a friend? Please share your thoughts. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">xoxo,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Katey</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Dear Ex,</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">How are you? I hope everything is okay with you. How's work? I hope you find a better company. I know that yours are not treating their staff fairly.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">So... why did I even write you a letter? Well... I know you don't care but I would like to tell you that I am doing fine. Work is a bit challenging. But you know me, I love challenges. :) Probably that's the reason why we became an item.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Remember when I used to bully you? You hated me but you also liked me at the same time. My honesty is a little brutal, I know. My mouth is faster than my brain.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">How about the time when I "forced" you to drink coffee? That was fun! I didn't know you'd get a stomachache when you drink coffee. But hey! You grew out of it. We always have our coffee date every week since then.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I don't like singing. I think I have an awful voice but you made me sing. And you love listening to my singing voice.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I don't like to cook. But you love my <i>adobo</i>... more than your Mama's cooking. Which is a compliment coz your Mama is a good cook.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Probably I miss what we had, but I don't miss the fights. When every simple conversation turns into a misunderstanding. When we hurt each other with words that we can never take back. Well... I started missing you when you changed. When every little thing I do or say irritates you. That's when you started comparing me to <i><b>her</b></i>. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Yes, I miss you but not romantically. I have passed that stage. I miss the friendship, the laughter, the series marathon, the midnight snacks, and our people watching.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Remember the last time we had our coffee and I cried because I asked "What happened to us?".</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I also want to say I'm sorry if I hurt you when I chose my happiness. But I don't need to apologize for choosing my happiness. So I'll just say, I'm sorry for the times that I have hurt you.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Thank you for the years of being together. It was indeed a roller coaster of emotion. We had our highs which I will keep. And we had our lows which I will treasure. Thank you for introducing me to your family whom I love dearly. They have accepted me as their own and for that I am grateful.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Please believe me when I say, I am truly happy now that you have a girlfriend. I wish you all the best and will always include you in my nightly prayer. God sent you to me on my lowest, when I started doubting myself. Things may not have turned out the way we wanted them to be. But I know our purpose for each other has reached its finish line.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">So... just take care of yourself and please behave, okay?</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Your Ex</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I noticed that there's always something about number three in a relationship.</span><br />
</span><div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">3 days</span></b></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Who invented the rule that a guy should call a girl 3 days after their meeting?</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I used to believe that this "rule" should be followed until I met someone who called up after 15 days. I laughed at him when he said that he purposely stopped himself from calling me a day after we were introduced to each other. I asked him why he didn't call me after 3 days. He said he planned to call me but he needed time to gain more courage to even add me to Facebook.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">So you see... Some people need more time to muster up courage to approach a person especially if they really like them. At first, I was confused because I was expecting a call or something but it didn't happened. After 3 days, it didn't bother me anymore and I moved on until that day that I received a friend request in Facebook after 15 days. It was a sweet surprise actually. So girls, don't be dishearten if a guy doesn't call you. Either he needed more time or he doesn't like you. In short, no expectations.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">3 dates</span></b></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I'm guilty on this one. There was this person that I really like. After our first date, we clicked right away. But since I don't want to rush things and I religiously follow the "3 date" rule, I let my chance passed. We actually dated 5 times. After that, we stopped. He thought that I didn't like him and I thought he doesn't like me. Funny huh? Sometimes, you need to be more open and honest. Things may not turn out the way you expect it to be but least you tried. Rejection is part of life any way.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">3 months</span></b></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This goes both in dating and break-up.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<i><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Dating</span></i></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Again, guilty as charged. But somehow, I still believe that 3-month is a period to test the relationship. I know it's early to say that the relationship will last after 3 months of dating but it is a good start. Sometimes these 3 months will show a glimpse of where the relationship is heading to. But hey, I can be wrong. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<i><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Break-up</span></i></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">If you're Filipino, you probably watched "One more chance" by John Lloyd and Bea. This movie invented the 3-month rule that you can date only after 3 months from break-up. In reality, people deal with break up differently. Some people need a month to move on and some people take years. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">But if you think about it, this rule became famous because it gives the aggrieved party to sulk. If I am the dumpee, I don't want to see the love of my life happy with another person. This rule is all about respect.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">3rd wheel</span></b></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This last "three" doesn't involve only "third party" but also other people who try to enter in your relationship. They maybe your parents, siblings, friends or even social media! </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Most relationships fail when someone tries to meddle with the relationship. I believe that relationship is between the couple. It doesn't hurt if you ask for some advice from people close to you but if you let these people decide for you then it will affect the relationship.</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I am not saying that above relationship rules are false or true but isn't funny how we follow these rules blindly because we thought it is the right thing to do. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Do you know other relationship rule that I have not mention that you would like to share? Please share it, I'm curious. :)</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Xoxo,</span></div>
<div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I wouldn't consider myself a love or relationship guru but I
think I had a diverse relationship that helped me provide some valuable input
in making a relationship last.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can compare finding a (lifetime) partner to hailing a cab.
If you are lucky enough, you have an available cab pass by your street. Most of
the time, you need to wait for a cab to come along. And sadly enough, some
needs to fight over a cab. On how the ride will turn out to be, that’s the
responsibility of the driver and the passenger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So what do you need to make your
journey as a couple work, and hopefully, last.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Set and know each other’s expectations</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">More often than not, we enter a
relationship without knowing what’s in store for us. We love the element of
surprise. I was one until a partner asked me “What are your expectations in
this relationship?” I was taken off guard. Once I regain my composure, I was
able to think straight. Knowing what you want in a relationship and in your
partner is essential. You and your partner will have a clear picture of what
you want to have and what you are capable of giving and receiving.</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Communicate</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Communication is vital in a
relationship. When I say “Communicate”, it doesn’t mean communicate only when your
partner upsets you. Yes, you should be open with your emotion especially if you
feel offended or hurt. But more than that, sharing important things with your
partner is a good bonding moment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Share about your work, or a new hobby
of yours. It may be mundane to you but maybe it is interesting to your partner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Do things together</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like communication, doing things
together will make your relationship stronger and more fun. Why not start a
hobby together. Learn a new language and practice it with each other. Read a
book and share what you think of a certain chapter. Do the laundry together or
wash the dishes while your partner wipes it dry.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Come to think of it, relationship is a team
effort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Me time</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In as much that you want to spend every
waking day with each other, you need some “Me time”. Me time doesn't mean alone
time. Me time can mean a visit to your mom, a movie date with your sisters or a
coffee date with your girlfriends. Me time also applies to your partner: A
boy’s night out, a basketball game with his high school/college friends or a
drinking session with his dad and brothers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having me time will energize and
rejuvenate your individuality. Before you enter this relationship, you have a
life of your own. So why stop living?</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Learn each other’s interest</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In point 3, I suggested to do things
together that both of you enjoy. But how about learning something new? Learn
your partner’s passion. It may be her passion for skincare or his passion for
comics, her passion for art or his passion for sports. You don’t need to love their interest but at
least know a few things about it. Start with reading an article or two. Maybe
watch him during his basketball game with his friends or accompany her in her
visit to museum. Perhaps, you will discover that her or his interest is
appealing and fascinating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Support each other</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You're not in a relationship to compete with each other. Be each other's cheerleader. Your partner will come to you to share their problem with their work, friends or family. Just be there when things get tough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If they share something that they are passionate about, listen and give advice if asked. Be enthusiastic and be an active listener. If things are unclear to you, ask them questions instead of being negative about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also, celebrate their success. To celebrate their happiness and triumph shows that you are proud of them. Every partner wants to make their partner proud. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Respect each other’s privacy</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this day and age, we are so attach
to social media and technology that we want to know our partner’s whereabouts
and password to her or his mobile, email and social media account. I actually
don’t want my privacy invaded. There is a reason why you have a password in
your email, it is personal. Regardless if you are in a relationship, it doesn't give you the right to access your partner’s mobile, email or social media.
However, I applaud those who give their password freely and openly. I had a
partner who gave his password to his email and social media. I didn't open it.
Not unless he asks me to check an email he expects or asks me to send an email
on his behalf. He gave it to me freely but I still respect his privacy. Not
giving your partner an access to your account doesn't mean that you are hiding
something but it means you want to keep your privacy. And if you are really
faithful to each other, you will not do anything that will hurt the
relationship.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Compose and Compromise</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">Don’t expect a relationship to be all
bright and dandy. Relationship is like a roller coaster ride. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Discussion and misunderstanding is
normal. When you reach that part of relationship when you get to each other’s
nerve: stop and breathe. Get a grip of yourself until you can think clearly.
You don’t need to push your ideals to your partner and same with them. Meet
half way and compromise. But once you compromise, don’t blame each other if
things didn't work out. Compromise doesn't mean that you let go of your ideals
and belief but it means that you are open to change and you value your
relationship more than your ego.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Apologize</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">Saying sorry is so easy to say nowadays
that you question its authenticity. When you say sorry, you need to mean it and
know why and what you are sorry for. Some people say sorry just to end the
argument. And some say it not knowing why they need to say sorry. When your
partner apologize, you need to ask them if they know what made you upset. You
will be surprise to hear “I don’t know.” If your partner is honest enough to
admit their shortcoming by not knowing what they did to upset you, you need to
reciprocate their honesty. Discuss what hurt you and why. This will spare both
of you of future misunderstanding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But not all apologies are accepted, so
don’t feel dishearten when things didn't go back to normal. Just be patient and
make sure you don’t do the same mistake.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Forgive</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">This is connected to point 9. We know
that forgiving is not easy especially when you really are hurt. But forgiving
is also a choice. If you choose to forgive your partner, you are ready to start
anew. You are ready to let go and move on. The common mistake in forgiving is,
forgiving too easily. In doing so, you are not prepared to accept the mistake
of your partner and you end up being paranoid. You remind your partner about
the mistake and both of you end up hurting each other more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can only speak for myself as a Catholic. I am lucky to
have no issue with my religion with my partner. What I like about my
relationship is that, I was able to reconnect with my Creator. I love that we
pray together (via Skype) before we sleep and attend mass (as much as possible) every
Sunday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi Hunny Bunnies,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last February 1, my sister had her Bridal Shower. Yup, my younger sister is getting married. We wanted to keep it wholesome but a little kinky so we decided to have "50 Shades of Grey" theme. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How timely because same month, Christian Grey will grace the big screen and well... Jenny read all 50 shades trilogy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had the Bridal Shower in Pink Me Up. Same venue when we celebrated my <a href="http://itsmisskatey.blogspot.com/2013/11/mommys-birth-month.html" target="_blank">Mom's birthday</a> last November 2013.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy the photos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How's 2015 treating you? In the first quarter of 2015, I dealt with some heartache but that deserve a separate post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This post is a happy entry because I will be sharing with you our bunso's birthday celebration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We decided to celebrate Joy's birthday at The Bunny Baker. The Bunny Baker is located in E. Rodrigues Sr. The place is so adorable. You can find more about the restaurant from their FB page, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebunnybaker?fref=ts" target="_blank">The Bunny Baker</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the birthday girl.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was talking to a friend earlier and this is how it went.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friend: So what's your plan?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: I don't know.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friend: How come you don't know? You always know what to do.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: What if I really don't know.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friend: No. You have everything figured out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: Because that was the expectation.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friend: So if people expect you to know everything?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me: But I don't.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're not just talking about simple things, but we're talking about life. At a very young age, I taught myself to be tough and independent when it comes to dealing with issues. My parents may have given me my wants and my needs as a child but when it comes to talking about issues or dealing with it was not normal in our household. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Dad is bossy. He tells you what to do and you have to follow. While my Mom is submissive and prayerful. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So you see, my parents are quite different from each other. I'm not complaining though. I have always believed that it gave me balance in life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm a mixture of both. I am a little bossy but very understanding at times. I am impatient but I am forgiving. I'm confrontational but I am lenient.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I have mentioned earlier, I taught myself to deal on my issues on my own. Maybe because, the expectation of my Dad and Mom is too high that I felt that if I failed, I will disappoint them. My Dad expected me to be strong & tough because I'm the firstborn. My Mom expect me to be a model to my two younger sisters. I have some issues that I kept to myself because I felt that it shows weakness.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As time passby I realized that I have mastered the act of "pretending". Pretending everything is bright and dandy. Pretending that I can do whatever, that I don't need anybody's help. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learn that I can only rely on myself because most people that I trust are the ones who run away at the sight of a problem. I got used to people telling me their issues and problems. While I kept my issues to myself. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the reasons why I started blogging is to have an outlet for my creativity as well as to talk about issues that I have been dealing and experiencing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I might have been a good actress because nobody can read through me. They may feel there is something that is bugging me but they can't seem to figure it out. I can shift my mood very easily and it works with concealing everything I am feeling.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I try to motivate myself by thinking of the good in everything. Bad things may happen but I try to see the bright side.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had "the talk" with my Superior and he said "At the end of the day, life goes on." and I replied "I know, I have been telling that to myself". I think he felt my pain.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lately, I've been feeling a little under the weather but I know that I am doing my best to keep that sunshine over me and in me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh well... Life goes on...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry if this post is a little depressing. I hope that things will be a little better.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speak to you soon!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Labeling has been a part of our daily lives. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In schools, students are categorized by intelligence, abilities and popularity. You have your nerds, jocks, cheerleaders, and losers. Each one longs to be associated with the "popular".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In your work place, employees are categorized by position. Blue collar and white collar, rank & file and senior. You normally see rank & file eats with their rank & file colleagues. Managers share table with managers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the society, you have the elite, middle class and the masses. We also categorize people with their choice of fashion. You have the fashionista, emo/goth, jologs/jejemon, rakista, hipsters and the normal ones.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why do we always put labels in everything? Some may say "To keep everything in its place.". But more than keeping everything in order, labels are mostly use to discriminate and demean a person or a group of person.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I noticed how people make fun of "jejemons". Yes, I cringe when I see them text. With the extra "z" and "s". But what the heck, for sure they know the spelling of "hello" but they prefer using "eow". People make fun of their fashion sense. So what, they feel confident and comfortable with it. I secretly admire those people because they have the "I don't care" attitude. I am so concern with what society will say about me, that I feel trapped. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel like if society does not approve of who you are, expect to be labelled.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am guilty of putting labels on people and I do FEEL guilty about it. Society has become so judgmental that it poisons not just the mind of people but the heart. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every time I fall in this trap, I step back and try to empathize with the person being attacked. I try to put myself in their shoes and ask myself "What will I feel if someone makes fun of me?". I'm not perfect so who am I to judge? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know wishing to have a society that is forgiving, less judgmental, accepting, respectful and polite is impossible. (Sigh)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can start with myself by trying to be less "bitchy". Hihihi... Oh, change!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any attitude you wish you can change?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speak to you soon.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what's up with this blog? Well, I have decided to add more "personal" thing here. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As my previous blog entitled </span><a href="http://itsmisskatey.blogspot.com/2014/09/self-discovery.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Self Discovery</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, I am lost. I really don't know what topic to focus on. I am no fashionista nor a beauty guru. I am not a foodie nor a traveler. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh wee, I will post random stuff or anything that fancies me but I will try my best to share some of my thoughts on a more personal level.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we were young, we have this clear picture of what we wanted to be. Some wanted to be a Doctor, some a Lawyer and some wanted to be a Scientist. I remember that I wanted to be a Nun. Which of course, didn't happened.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that I am 30 something, I feel that I am lost. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't know where I wanted to be and what I wanted to be. I've always thought that when I reached a certain age, I have everything figured out. But I was so wrong.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Dad chose my course in College. I wanted to take up either Psychology or Fine Arts but my Dad wanted me to take up Commerce. Being the eldest daugther, he wanted me to follow his footsteps. The "adult pleaser" and "respectful of authority" in me decided to obey my Dad's decision. I took up Commerce major in Economics. I enjoyed College years because of the organizations I joined in. I was able to dance, cheerdance and be active in socio-civic activities.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Work was okay. My first job was a Sales Assistant aka data encoder. It was not fulfilling but then again, I met new people that became my close friends. Then I moved to Hospitality industry. I worked as a Coordinator then after 3 years relocated in Middle East. I climbed up the corporate ladder. I started as a Receptionist and now, I am holding a managerial position.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a fulfilling job and I know that I have made my family proud. Now, you might ask, why do I feel lost? I feel lost because no matter how fulfilling my job is, I am not happy. I know that this path that I took is not what I want to be. I like arts and I like observing people. But my current work does not include either of the two. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My previous superior told me that he can see a lot of potential in me. That I will be great in my current position. I respect his opinion and I am glad that he sees something great in me but I don't see myself in that field. Instead of being truthful, I said I am upto the challenge. I thought that new tasks and position will make me change my mind, that I am just bored with my job. I have to say that I deliver but I am unhappy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Giving others the power to decide for my future made me unhappy and lost. No, I don't blame my dad or my previous superior. I blame myself for not standing up with what I want. I wanted to get the approval of my dad that I gave in to his demand even if it means that I will have to set aside my happiness.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am unhappy. I acknowledge that fact. Though it is difficult for me to do, I started to address this issue. Writing blog is one of my way to keep my creativity alive. I love writing. I have a creative imagination and writing is my way of communicating my thoughts. Also, I return back to zumba classes. I love performing and zumba class helps me to satisfy that passion. I even considering to get zumba instructor certification. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am in the process of self-discovery and I know that it will take a lot of time to finally reach that "self-fulfillment" stage. But I am just glad that I finally got the courage to take baby steps.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that this entry is lengthy and I thank you for spending your time reading this.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Are you happy with what have now? Or are you experiencing self-discovery just like me?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speak to you soon! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Last August 9, I went to Chic & Posh to try out their services using my Qgrabs voucher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This would be a short review of Chic & Posh Beauty Lounge.</span><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Ease of booking an appointment:</b><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I decided to use my voucher last week of July. I called several time but nobody's picking up. It was a bit frustrating as the voucher will expire on the same month. After several attempt, someone answered my call. I was advised that I can still use my voucher on August. So I postponed my visit to August.<br /><b><br /></b><b>First Impression:</b><br />The name is spot on, the place is so chic. I love the interior and the ambiance.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Attitude of the staff:</b><br />Staff are friendly.<br /><br /><b>Service/Treatments availed:</b><br />Body massage, hot oil & nail polish<br /><br /><b>Body massage</b> - I enjoyed the massage. It is quite different I might say. I can't quite figure it out if it's swedish or shiatsu. But what I know is, it is relaxing.<br /><br />When I entered the massage room, the first thing I noticed is the cleanliness and how properly arrange the massage bed is. The room is dimmed and the temperature is just right. When the masseuse entered, she opened the ipod to play some instrumental music which is really relaxing. She then start putting oil.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The pressure is moderate. I have this tendency to keep myself awake just to feel and experience the massage. I really like the leg and head massage. These two parts are my weak point. Once the masseuse starts touching these parts, I start to drift away to Dreamland. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><b>Hot oil</b> - My hair is in need of some lovin'. So this treatment is needed. First, they washed my hair. The lady who washed my hair is really gentle. After washing my hair, she wrapped my hair in a cling wrapped and I was placed under the hot oil machine for about 15-20 minutes. After that, my hair was washed again and then a new lady "semi" blow dried my hair. Oh boy, she was not gentle with my hair. She was tugging my hair as if in a hurry. I didn't complain coz I just want to just finished it coz I am not enjoying it.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Nail polish - </b>my nails were shaped but not clean which is okay coz I plan to have a manicure somewhere. I like that they use Essie nail polish.<br /><b><br /></b><b>Value for Money:</b><br />Services are quite on a pricey side but they have promotions available in their Facebook Fan Page.<br /><br /><b>Would I go again? </b>Probably. I wanted to try their Moroccan Hammam.<br /><br /><b>Verdict</b>:<br />3/5<br /><br /><i>Room for improvement: </i></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use less oil. Good thing I did not feel greasy after the massage session.</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Increase the room temperature in the hair section of the salon. I was shivering when my hair was being washed. But the lady did turn off the AC coz she saw me shivering.</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please be gentle when handling hair especially when blow drying the hair. </span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My nail polish chipped the next day.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a while.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So... How do I start? Hmmm... Let's start with what I have been doing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm attending zumba classes again. I go to zumba class M-W-F. Yup, 3 times a week. Getting back in shape takes a lot of determination & patience. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My sister is getting married next year so I need to lose some pounds coz I'm in her entourage. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Honestly speaking (or writing), I really have an issue with my weight. (Whew...) I'm not really fat. I know discussing weight issue is a sensitive subject but I am sharing this part of me because I believe that each one of us has a personal battle that we are going through everyday.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some will say that I'm overly dramatic coz I am not that fat. A colleague even asked me "Why are you unhappy with your body? You are not fat.". Oh bless him. But it's not just the weight itself that I am battling with but myself perception.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been skinny from my elementary years to my college years. My heaviest when I was in college is 100lbs. Maybe it also helps that I am a dancer. I have a flat stomach and even have an abs. My arms are tone and I exercise regularly. I remember whenever my Aunt will tell me "Jacky, you're gaining weight.", I would starve myself and even resorted to sticking my finger into my mouth after every meal. I always feel frustrated everytime I gain weight. I feel disgusted whenever I see myself in the mirror. I cry whenever someone says I'm fat because I feel really ugly and unwanted.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Moving to Middle East, made it even worse. I gain a lot of weight because of my lifestyle. My world has been "home-work-home". I became less and less active. Food became my constant companion. Don't get me wrong, I have friends. Imagine what I felt when I gain so much weight and when I went for vacation all I hear is "What happened to you?" or "Where's your abs?". And the constant reminder to lose weight.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went to this free check-up and the doctor told me "You're little obese." What the... I don't know if she meant I'm almost obese or I am becoming obese or I am obese and small. Btw, she said that in front of other patients. I just smiled and pretended to be okay but my heart is breaking. Talk about humiliation! I felt disappointed and disgusted. I hate it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the self loathe has worn out, I looked at my old photos. All I see is a skinny girl looking back at me. I look extremely different. I look ugly. I asked myself, how could I even consider that body to be beautiful?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you will ask me now if I am happy with my current weight? No. I could lose some weight here and there, tone my arms and flatten my stomach. BUT, I will not let myself to be skinny as I was. My main goal is to be healthy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes I still feel sad when I see my reflection and I still get affected when someone tells me that I am a fatso. But changing what I see of myself takes little step. I need to start learning that the numbers in a weighing scale do not define me as a person. I need to start loving myself more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sigh... Oh well... Do you have any personal battle you would like to share?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take care & God bless.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Xoxo,</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cure Natural Aqua Gel - I love that it gently exfoliates my skins. After using it, my skin feels smooth and soft.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">HHN Mineral Blush in Petal Bloom - It is pigmented and gives out a natural blush.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">HHN Mineral Powder in Oriental Pearl - It keeps my skin matte and shine free. I love that it is organic and gentle on my skin.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Deborah Milano 24ore Velvet Eyeshadow in 05 - I use it under my waterline that gives a subtle smokey effect. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner - Since it is winter here in Qatar, I make sure that I put on lip conditioner to avoid dry and cracked lips.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Daiso Basecoat Mascara - I love how it gives volume and lengthens my eyelashes. I was even asked if I'm wearing falsies.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner - This baby gives me the perfect cat eye look. I also use this to get that dolly look and it does the job. However, I need to reapply as my eyelids are oily.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lancome Bi Facil - It removes my eye make up quite effectively. Will I repurchase it, maybe. My Nivea Eye Make-up remover does the same.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday, my Mom had a mini sparty at Pink Me Up. We invited my Aunt Jing, my cousins Russell & Charmie. Unforge, Charmie was unable to come due to work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anywho, it was my surprise gift for her. I did all the arrangement from Qatar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was such a joy to see my mom happy, surprised and touched by my little gift. I would like to thank my sister Jenny for arranging the appointment in Pink Me Up. Same with my Aunt and cousins who kept it a secret for almost a month! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Btw, this is what my sister Joy wore yesterday. Isn't she cute. She looks exactly the same as her Bitstrips Avatar!! lol</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dear Mommy,</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that you know how much I love you, we love you. We've been through tough times... which is a lot but we were able to surpass these challenges because we have each other. I miss our quality time every Sunday. Where we go to church, eat lunch and then grocery shopping. There are times that I disappoint you but you never given up on me. There are times that I wanted to rebel and be a teenager but then... every time I think of you, I stop myself because I know that I will hurt you. You are a good example. For that, I thank you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mommy, you are the best mom in the whole wide world!!! I love you to the moon & back!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So let's start with October 25. My friends and I planned to have a city tour in the morning. Being the independent bunch that we are, we decided not to have a tour guide with us. We opted to research the famous landmark and go there on our own. Being new in the country, it is expected to get lost. We have been driving in circle and using up our gas. We ended up going to this small mall to eat our lunch and went to church for the wedding rehearsal.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the rehearsal, we went to Charisse's flat to do the hosts script. Me & Ariel were asked to be the wedding's Masters of Ceremony. Which by the way an honor. I, personally, was a bit scared coz it was my first time to host a wedding.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, while Charisse and I are busy with Bridesmaid duties, the rest of the ladies were fast asleep. We ordered pizza for dinner then did some dress up. Since we are in Charisse flat, we decided to make over our two tomboyish girls, January and Kamie. Kamie has never worn a dress in her life. Or maybe once when she attended a wedding but that was years ago. For January, she's your typical shirt & jeans girl.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will attend Gina's last night of being a "Miss" so we wanted it to be memorable. So, Charisse gave them dress to wear. Both ladies are beautiful!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Church wedding was held in Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The church is small but beautiful. It made the ceremony more solemn & intimate. I just have to say that during the wedding rehearsal, I was teary eyed but during the wedding, while Gina was walking down the aisle, I was crying. She is beautiful! Knowing her, she does not commit easily. We would tease her before that she will be last BG to marry. Maybe that's why I cried. Because I am happy to see a friend to finally meet her match. Both are sarcastic, btw! lol...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like that they do turn-down service unlike Holiday Inn Express Dubai that we called several times but nobody came. My room is always clean and neat. Kudos to the Housekeeping Team.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Restaurant: If you book in Holiday Inn Express, you are entitled to complimentary breakfast. Breakfast is okay. Nothing special. I just ate few bread and some sausages. On my 3rd day, coffee machine was not working properly and I have informed the waitress about it. Variety of food is little though. I like the variety of food in Holiday Inn Express Dubai. (Manama - 1, Dubai - 1, we got a tie!!!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WIFI: Wifi is free in the lobby and public area, however, in room internet is at a charge. I actually opened my roaming and I finished my credit in a few hours. Lesson learned! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Staff Attitude: Staff are friendly. They greeted me every time they see me. Cool beans!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All in all, I did enjoy my stay at Holiday Inn Express Bahrain. In case I will visit Bahrain again, I will definitely stay in this hotel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a wonderful dinner with my friend last night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cleng went for vacation last month and we were unable to have a bonding due to our hectic schedule. So when she came back, I invited her for dinner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mykonos has been one of my favorite restaurants in InterContinental Doha. Mykonos has a new theme every Tuesday which is Tour to Greece. Chef Ilias will bring you to different region in Greece without leaving Qatar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last night, they introduced Peloponnese Menu which is a 4-course menu. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weather is really good so we opted to seat in the restaurant's terrace.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favorite is the salad. Aside from the presentation <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(me love some mason jars)</span>, I love baby potatoes. Cherry tomatoes are sweet and Rocca leaves are fresh.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My least favorite would be the dessert. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(am not a sweet tooth)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I love:</span></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Portion is just right. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pasta is homemade and cooked to perfection. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's live entertainment</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Very affordable! QR 170.00 for a 4-course meal? Who can beat that!</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I don't like:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nothing!</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will I comeback? Definitely!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Verdict: 4/5</span></div>
