Holloween Time
It is Halloween Time already. Time for Trick-or-treating. Time to don on some Halloween costume. Time for some gory stuffs and the likes.
But not for me this time.
Now, I'm missing Hallowwen parties at the office where each floor has to come up with a theme for decorations to coincide with. The employees' children will come to the office after office hours. Accompanied by their parents or guardians, they will walk through each floor from the tenth floor to the ground floor for their trick or treat. Candies wrapped in plastic bags are given away. It is always a fun experience. We get to meet the children of our officemates as well. Cute little beings they are, some come in a really good mood, others do not. Others crying and some others are laughing. Such a wonder to see emotions in a child's face.

My new adventure: marriage
I am not very brave. I shake uncontrollably when I go to a hospital for a check-up. I had trauma from going to the dentist and I must say I just conquered that phobia recently. I fear the sight of syringes. Even a prick of a needle in my fingers is a big thing for me. But I do have my share of adventures...
I climb mountains! Mt. Maculot, Mt Talamitam, Mt Gulugod-Baboy are some of the mountains I conquered. I even climbed 3 mountains in Japan, Mitake and the other two which I forgot the names already. To top it all, I reached the peak of Mt Fuji!
I rode the Space Shuttle in Enchanted Kingdom. I climb aboard numerous roller coasters in Japan. I even tried their famous Blue Fall.
We went very near the Ma. Cristina Falls in Iligan despite being prohibited by the authorities because of the danger.
And my newest adventure? My marriage. Yes, marriage is an adventure. When someone begins on that arrangement called marriage, he is getting into something which is, to say the least, adventurous. When a couple get married, they are doing something they know nothing about. It's a risk, thus, an adventure. Even 2nd, 3rd and nth timers still say it is an adventure for still they take risks.
What is more scary (?) or risky is that it is a lifelong adventure!
My husband and I - we both know it is quite a risk we are taking. Even if we were together for seven years as boyfriend-girlfriend, there are still a lot of things we don't know about each other. There are worst things still to be discovered. We will be in a roller coaster ride for sure. We will get hurt. We will be happy. We will experience sorrow. We will celebrate. We will have our ups and our downs.
I believe what is important though is that we are in this together. We hope that just as adventurers prepare everything for their adventure, we will be guided by what we bring as well. Oh well, I am excited as always for this lifelong adventure of ours.

Get a hint!
I thought you would get the hint. I don't want you anymore. You have been my monthly companion for 15 years. I have accepted you not because I want you but because I have no choice. Oftentimes, I welcome you because you help cleanse me. You and I, hand in hand, we got rid of the toxins in my body. There are times though that I hated you. You hurt me. You are an inconvenience. I can't do things I love because of you. Most of the times though, I accepted you as you are. Every month, I would prepare myself for you. I would prepare the room you are to stay.
But now... I just wish you would go away for once. You see, I am reserving this room you were staying for so long. I am reserving and preparing this for someone more important than you. Someone I have been waiting for so long but cannot have because it was not yet the right time. Not that I am pushing you away because I hate you... I am pushing you away because I have to choose between the two of you and I am not choosing you. I am pushing you away because if yiu stay, that special guest I'm waiting for will not come and stay in the room I prepared.
So now I begging you... Please take a hint. Or do you want me to spell it out for you? I would like you to get lost and never come back... at least for 9 months.
