Ivy’s little corner

Ssssummer! Yes summer is definitely here! Better get those hidden-way-too-deep-in-the-closet bathing suits, some shades and sunscreen protection cause it will definitely be a scorcher this  week….

Last weekend was a glorious one for me. I went to Mt.Tremblant with some of my close friends and had a blast of a time. The weather was fabulous! It was a scorcher alright but it’s better than the rainy ones that dragged on forever the last couple of weeks.

I absolutely enjoyed our trip especially the cable car ride towards the top of the mountain (we even saw a deer!). Being up there makes me appreciate every lovely thing in my life and how thankful I am to be here in Canada where nature has an enigmatic way of bringing tears to my eyes.

Another thing Im thankful for is the time spent with friends. Everybody’s been so busy lately that we barely talk to each other even on the phone. Im glad we all took a little time off from our weekend activities for a little reunion. I mostly enjoyed the swim in the pool where I almost drowned Chuckie for dragging me on the deepest end ( sorry again chuck, but seriously it was your fault!), the card game where either you pee on your pants or get a headache from laughing too much and the mountain trip (even though horseflies got the better of us… curse youuuuu! you wretched insects!). I loved them all!  Even Joy’s never ending song on our way there or the fact that I am still awake as daylight at 3AM while everybody’s snoozing. Well, I discovered Keith talks in his sleep…. I was hoping for some lotto numbers LOL! That and the constant hum dum of the airconditioner gave me some lullaby theme and sent me to sleep. Guys!Can we do that again please! hehehe.

Today, I also met up with another set of old friends for lunch. These are my mommy and mommy-to-be friends. It’s so unfair that im always the ninang and never someone that will make them a ninang for my baby l! LOL! Well, they are certainly inspiring me on all these wonderful sensations of being a mom and wanted me to get on with the program while I’m still not in my thirties. I adore their kids and of course I wanted some of my own but let’s get real here… I could never be desperate enough to get it on with the guy for the sake of having a baby. They were also joking that I marry the person even if I don’t love him but I just couldn’t do that. It’s against my religion! LOL! I know they were just concerned cause they love me but I do believe in fate. It’s  either I find the man I want for the rest of my life or not, simple as that. What really matters is how I face the music whichever fate tosses my way.

That’s all for now folks! *bow*. I wanted to write more but I just can’t keep my eyes open anymore. It’s like 4 ohhh clock in the morning and sleep finally  visited me… dang! I used to sleep earlier than this.. I hope I’m not developing a mild case of insomnia….

Whoaa.. I didn’t realize how idle my blog has been for the past couple of months. It’s just that so many things have happened… mostly busy I guess. May  definitely topped the charts! With the birthdays and the new job I have luckily landed on plus a part time employment at my other one, I barely have time to indulge in the wonderful season outside. Of course I still go out whenever I could. Anyway, that new job was only  contractual .. It’ll all be over in a week or two, then back to the ol’ one where the stress level can reach 101% during it’s bad days. When it’s a bad one .. oh boy it really darn gets bad!

Anyway I won’t be too detailed for now on what has gone on within these last months.. I’m just trying to unwind from a latte i stupidly took tonight after work.

I was reading this free newspaper today (DOSE) and stumbled upon my horoscope at the end  and here’s what it said:

"Inside your desk drawer, you have a colony of ants, each named and dressed in tuxedos. Watching them keeps you sane."

I don’t know if it’s because I lacked sleep today or what, but I bursted out laughing on the bus after reading this.. hehe I just thought it was hilarious cuz I really had it envisioned in my mind.Whoever’s reading this… any pointers on what this horoscope of mine meant?

Then later today at work, I had a co worker who suddenly took my hand and read it. It was weird how some of it were unbelievably true and some might take a few more days for me to get in touch with. My love life foretelling was right on the money. Fascinating how much she can read by just looking at my palm. She even told me to get a move on and I will meet this wonderful person who’s really meant for me.

See, I really don’t want to be an old old maid but I somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I could grow old alone and that didn’t terrify me one bit. But after tonight, I’m glad the word "hope" bumped up some extra notches inside my very absorbed practical way of thinking.HOPE.. hmmm…..

OK it’s getting late and I think I have doodled my thoughts enough  today. Til next blog! I have to absolutely force myself to sleep right away. I can’t wait for a little break to get out of town with my friends early tomorrow…..
