A place to breathe….

Two years ago Sanna, a friend from the office let me borrow her dvd collection which includes the whole 5 season of Sex in the City. I watched every episode with gusto, hoping one day I will be like one of them.

When I found out there’s a movie coming, I knew I need to watch it the first day so I organized a girls’ day out in the office. I invited 10 ladies but only 5 of us can make it to the dinner and only 3 of us can make it to the movies… Despite it only being 3 of us, it was actually fun. I guess even if I watched it alone, I would have still come out satisfied.

So the movie…
I was crying like crazy on one of the intense part of the movie when Mr. Big stood her up at the wedding. It was like a slow movement when she went out of the car and hit him like crazy. What touched me most was the way Charlotte reacted, her face was amazingly good.

Over all, the movie was great. Better than the series. Four successful ladies with different stories but at the end regardless of our status in life it is good to know that you have friends to run to when life is throwing shit on you. It is also nice that regardless of your status (married, single, with bf or none) that you have friends to share a different life with.

From the four girls, I’m more like Charlotte. She believes in fairytales and a happy ending story. But how I wish I can be Samantha, who doesn’t care shit about relationships only fuck hahahhaha.

I’m 28, these girls started to have a life after late 30s… I guess my life is not meaningless just on the process of trying it all out. I was told that on the 20s this is the time you try things and see what suits you. On the 30s you try to stabilize your career and your life… At 40 you finally find a different meaning in life.

Our generation is more of like want to have it all now. Once in a while I have to remind myself I can’t have everything right now and right here so far so good…

I had dinner yesterday at Little Pinoy with 6 of my closest friends, 3 friends were not able to make it.

Dinner was a thanksgiving for 2 great years in this city. I arrived in GVA at past 9 pm in cold Geneva 2 years ago. It was good that Crowne Plaza had a shuttle from the airport to the hotel otherwise I would have been in big trouble because I arrived here without Swiss Francs.

Seeing my closest friends all together is a bit weird actually hehehhehehe but anyways I was happy to have dinner all at the same with them which never happened yet until last night.

Reason to celebrate is basically to thank the people that made GVA my 2nd home. Thanking the friends who laughed and cried with me. I am actually happy to know that I have a couple of very close friends here, I didn’t imagine I have that many =)

Looking back, it has been a pleasant journey. Switzerland has been a great place for me to learn, explore and have fun. I’ve matured here a lot, personally and in terms of work. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this country.

Thank you and cheers to two great years in GVA and more years to come…

A vibrator!!! hahahhahahah

I attended an all girls get together/ dinner yesterday arranged by an expat english community here in Geneva. Brought a spanish red wine to go with bolognese.

There were at least 15 girls from different age range who came. Get together was all about to do girl stuff together, talk about nails, make-up, boys, clothes, shoes, party and sex toys!

Yup you’ve read it right. There was an expert who showed us how to use sex toys and how to do safe sex. I was surprised that everybody was really paying attention, I never thought that girls in a European country still needs this sex toys and safe sex education.

For the first time I was able to put a condom on a banana. It was so funny coz I keep on pulling it from the wrong side. Gosh we were taught on how to put condom on a banana using our mouth, everybody went crazy.

At the end there was a raffle and of course prizes are sex toys and I won a vibrator… Hahahaha… Other prizes were Frank (a dildo), nutella (don’t even ask for what), different kind of vibrator, something for the anus, ring for penis and many more that I cannot imagine about.

Crazy sex stories were shared, unimaginable but fun to listen to and be educated.

We went home very late but I met some new nice friends and really had a good laugh.

Grabe, time flies so fast! I can’t believe I’m back again in Geneva after one month of being in the Philippines

I’m back on my two feet, finally recovering from the operation and from the gastos of the operation hehehhee. The rest rejuvenated my whole spirit and I loved the time that I was just at home doing nothing. I still remember vio telling me: "the doctor said magpahinga ka pero hinde magbuhay baboy!" Grabe, kumakain pa lang ako itatanong na agad sa akin ni mama ano gusto kong ulam mamaya or bukas… I miss you mother!

This trip to the Philippines was different compared to the two previous ones. This time no out of town, no grand plans but just to stay at home. It was actually great. I rested my mind and body.

I came back here fully recharge. Work is doing great, I didn’t even have time to relax which is actually good coz I don’t have time to be homesick.

What I appreciate about everything that has happened is that never ever take your health for granted. Stop when your body is telling you to stop. Also, regardless of the love of friends and colleagues there’s still nothing compared to the love of family.

So Geneva, I’m back!
