OOOhhh Christmas season is just around the corner, it's love! :)

Yesterday marked the beginning of my Christmas season, I left at 9am and arrived home at 1am, the following day (oh yes!). I attended two Christmas parties and partied w/ a bang! I loved it! :)

First stop: We went to my colleague's place at Kingspoint Subdivision for our Tranche's 2011 Christmas party. The party was fun but it could have been better if we were complete, blame it on the endless Sunday rain. We had lotsa food and drinks, and the best part was we had our  Hair & Make-up session. ^^. love.. love.. love..

Second stop:

After the  Hair & Make-up session, we went to The Fort Strip, Amber for our Line of Business' Christmas party. The theme was Swag & Posh so I just wore a black dress, and that was it! The night was a blast, I enjoyed spending the night w/ my JPMC family. My date for the night was Blue Martini and Vodka 7 (unfaithful?). I loved the bands, the people, and the place itself, I captured tons of shots (see my Multiply), and I met new people. :) 

More parties to come!

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

After 2 years of wearing a short hair-do, I am now decided to grow my hair long. I want to try digital perming, and hopefully it will look good on me. :)

For now, I welcome everyday as bad-hair day, my hairstyle doesn't have the rights for the word "style" anymore. haha! Well, I don't have a choice but to bear with it. So most of the time, I just tie them up and that's it. Well at least I get to keep the color. :)

It's getting longer, that's what matters :)

I just want to share this blog from Paolo Coehlo's page (He didn't write it but he made some revisions). Very inspiring, and it never fails to move me a thousand times (yep, I read it tons of times already). I want to share this and feel that move, especially to those who are in the process of moving on. Learn to let go, and be happy! :) Enjoy reading! :)----------------------------------------------------------------------------Re-blog starts here:(a version of this article circulates in internet having me as its author. In fact, I did not write it, but I made a few corrections and decided to republish it here)_________________________ESPANOL AQUI: CERRANDO CIRCULOSPORTUGUES AQUI: ENCERRANDO CICLOS__________________________One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister.Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.”Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life.Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

I am sick again, and what's new? I feel a bit sad and disappointed with how my health has been for the past 2 years. Am I being too careless? Or am I just being tested? I said I am a bit sad only- that is true, like what I said last year when I was diagnosed of Disc/Disk Herniation-- "I am still grateful and thankful to the Man up above that my condition is manageable".

I have been feeling intense headache, worse than Migraine for over six months already. The pain is always on its nth level and the hardest part is- my pain killers are not working long enough to keep me sane. There have been times of sleepless "days" (Graveyard shift, that is!). When at work, the pain becomes more challenging which is really a major NO-NO for me. I don't want to be absent or go to the Clinic so I try to bear with the pain by taking painkillers that aren't really working. The pain becomes unbearable at times, and it's hard to pretend that everything is just fine.

I gave up, and went to my Neurologist yesterday. He gave me various tests and asked me several questions. The sad news was, he <i>suspects</i> that the pain I have been having is not caused by Migraine. He suspects that I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. He has not confirmed it yet, but he wants me to take extra reminders with me all the time. 1) To get adequate sleep everyday; 2) never ever skip meals; 3) avoid stressful stuff and people (He laughed when he said that); 3) never get too excited; 4) Avoid food that contains too much salt and MSG; and 5) avoid extremes temperature.

I am now under his 10-day medication program. I will try new painkillers as well, and I hope they will me keep sane for a long time. After 10 days, I will be scheduled for a Head and Brain MRI. Hoping for all the best!
