4th September 2005
I watched March of the Penguins today....i think everyone who loves animals should just go and watch it....I cried so many times whilst watching...the kinda danger that penguins put themselves in just to continue their species is amazing....and to think how we keep complaining that labour is so difficult for us humans.....the penguins brave wind and cold of up to -101 deg Celsius in the coldest place on earth whilst having to balance their egg between their feet so that it doesn't touch the ground and freeze up...they have to walk around on their heels coz of that, and because it's so cold, there's no other living thing around, and thus, they have to go without food for almost 3 months!!! it's such a beautiful show, and such an amazing process...... =) i went to watch with Darling and my parents.... Hmmm....my cousin Janice will be leaving for France with her husband, George, and her son, Asher on wednesday for 2 years....sighz.....but at least they'll be back in time for my wedding..hehe....sure am gonna miss Asher.....he's so unbelivable cute and adorable....we went for their farewell dinner on saturday after i finished work........then, yup, i tried to help Darling starch his Number 4 today...and i almost died out of stress...hehe...coz his dad's such an army person, with his history of once being a major and all, i was so worried that i wouldn't get it done right.... he ended up having to iron the shirt, whilst i only did the pants..... *sheepish* but well, at leat i tried!! hahaha.... Darling's POP is on Tuesday...i can't wait....he's gonna be performing some drill thingy coz his company won second for their drill competition.....really wanna see.....i'm relatively proud of him....mostly because he was thrown into one of the best companies, that's known for it's craziness in terms of pushing their recruits to the limit....and also because he never really complained about how tough life was despite knowing that.....he's also improved alot physically, and he's become so much more organized and stuff.......the poor boy, he'll be booking in again to wherever he's posted to, on his birthday....guess we'll just have to celebrate it early then....but i so do not know what to do for him...and he's contented if he could just spend time with me...which makes it even harder!! =)sometimes it's so hard to want to do something for someone who's so easily contented....... anyway......sighz...both darling and myself are kinda hoping he gets into AMS, because it'll mean a higher pay as well as an office job timing, thus allowing him to come back everyday....but then again, the officer might mean better prospects for him, although it of course signifies that he'd be away for 5 days, and only back on weekends.....it's really a tough dilemma....and i'm praying like crazy that God chooses what he's best suited for, as well as what would be best for us.....and we just have to trust in Him...... These past few days, it's been really weird...my colleagues keep being wet blankets about my plans with darling......and...i was telling my bro's girlfriend about it and all, and she was saying that their thinking just shows their immaturity and cynicism.....and *shrugs*, i dunno, but, i do feel kinda sorry for them coz they've never been able to experience this kinda love and feeling....and it's such a beautiful and amazing one...everyday that i meet darling, i feel like i'm understanding him a little more, and i find it almost impossible that our love continues to increase day after day....it almost sounds too perfect...and too idealistic....but, it really is true..... i've been reading this book that i once got as a birthday gift about 5 years ago, and it's a self-help book about how to enhance your relationship with those around you, especially your spouse....it's titled, "the secret of loving"....and i was reading it, and it's weird, but those things regarding communication and such that the author advises, are things that darling and me have been doing all along, and the problems he cites, are stuff that we may have experienced before, yet were always solved....as in...it never got that far....somehow, i guess, like what my bro's gf was saying, our love has attained a mature level.........thinking back, i find it really amusing and coincidental that those who have shown such cynicism are actually those who aren't fellow Catholics.....maybe they just haven't been able to experience spiritual intimacy on our kind of level....... Plans for the wedding are getting more concrete, and darling and myself are getting a clearer idea of what kinda things we want.......what's left is for us to find out what our parents and elders deem necessary for the entire ceremony and such, and how the both of us can go about fulfilling these things, whilst keeping to the budget we have set for ourselves...... =) in a way, we'll soon reach a point where we can only plan this far for our wedding......because we can't exactly embark on any of the plans yet, coz it's too early...hehe.......you should see the entire stuff we've done this far....even the timeline of how things are to be done have been written out and planned all the way till the wedding day!! haha.... i can't wait to fully embark on these plans...but i guess it'll all have to wait until darling first proposes to me!!! =) so darling, hurry plan your proposal, and save enough to buy me an engagement ring!!!! hehe...i love you baby.....
