These past few days have been showing signs of life-status improvement. I’m completely moved in my new place downtown and I simply L-O-V-E it here! Today, I finished priming my old apartment with the help of my dear friends Jon and Steve and will hand over the keys tomorrow afternoon. 

For now, the shit-storm of a stressfest has subsided and work life has gone back to “stable and lax”. I can breathe again. Sorry, but solely fixing buggy information technology issues with little help and tight deadlines is not my area of expertise nor cup o’ tea.

This month has truly been an expensive one; paying moving costs, deposits and bills have taken a toll on my accounts. Out-of-the-country travel is a plan in the works (we’re thinking Ecuador) and I’ll definitely need to save enough money if I am to meet my target date in September. We shall see.

In terms of my personal and romantic side of life, I’m in a strange yet happy place. After having the awkward situation of untimely eligible suitors, I had to decide which one I wanted to pursue something deeper with. I chose the one I’ve always wondered about and always wanted an opportunity with.

I say it’s strange because of the circumstances of our relationship; we met in the same company, grew in the same circle of friends and celebrated his birthday this past May with his then-girlfriend of 3 years. He ended their relationship a month later. Coincidentally, he revealed his interest in me soon thereafter as I started dating the other potential candidate. He claims that his breakup was independent of our friendship but I can’t help feel that I may have been a catalyst. Regardless, I’m happy and loving this new path we’ve taken in our relationship.
