Do you remember Lisa Loeb’s song I Do? Well, I do. And this is officially the theme song of my life now. My YM status would read, “Dazed, Confused and Soon-To-Be-Pissed.”

I cannot figure out why guys love playing mind games. Life is complicated enough without these sh*t. And it sucks big time when you don’t even wanna play. They just don’t get it. Or they don’t want to. Confidence is a trait I admire in a man. But too much of it’s just plain wrong. Get this: You are not a Jedi Master, and I am not your Padawan. You geek.

Go figure.

But I do love the song. Its so apropos. Seriously. So here you go for those of you who forgot who the heck Lisa Loeb is.

"I Do"

When I'm done with thinking, then I'm done with you.
When I'm done with crying, then I'm done with you.
When I feel so tired, then I'm done with you.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way

And I do
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.

You're trying to convince me that what I've done's not right.
I get so frustrated, I stay up every night.
You ask me for an answer, and I'm so tired and I'm up in the air.
Everybody feels this Way sometimes, everybody feels this way

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear It, but I'm feeling this Way
Just because you say…

I will be ignored.
I will be denied.
I could be erased.
I could be brushed aside.
I will get scared, and I will get shoved down,
but I feel like I do because you push me around.

I'm starting to ignore you, I've doubted you so long.
I'm tired of over-thinking, I know you don't belong.
Now I'm asking questions - no one pushes me around.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You don't seem angry, but I do.

I do.

Seven days of no interruption, no work, no stress, no pressures. This has got to be the best vacay I’ve been in ever. I found the perfect vacay buddy too. Bora is great at this time of year. Especially if you’re with someone who might be the perfect companion when it comes to tolerating your “katamaran”.

Ako gusto ko dun...

Chillin' in the rain, literally

Wish everyday's this lazy...

Weather cooperated too. Sunshine in the morning and afternoon, rain at night. Nothing like waking up to recently washed clouds and shore. And not worrying or even remotely thinking of something I needed to accomplish. Or a deadline that was given today, for today. I realized that I hate the acronyms EOD, EOBD, EOW, and EOM. I hate it when my outlook pops-up meeting and appointment reminders through-out the day. I escaped from all that for seven days. I didn’t realize how badly I needed it. Not that I escaped work 100%. I had moments. But the best thing is that I could hide out in our room and be incommunicado. True to its name, SUN cell didn’t have signal inside the room. No sun. Go figure. But as soon as I exited the room, there goes all the messages that the network stored up just for that eventuality. So, I had to check in from time to time. But the greatest part about the folks I left: they are sooooo self sufficient, I didn’t need to worry about a thing. Thanks all!

Anyhoo, I'm off to Puerto today. Another long weekend. And I can’t wait for the looooong Christmas vacay too.

Cheerio!
