August 2011 - Boracay with Neri, Iyah and Ted
... I went out with friends
During the first few months after the heartbreak, I always go out with my friends. I make sure that my Fridays are occupied with random hangouts with them. I used to hate Fridays because I thought then that Fridays are equivalent to hanging out with your special someone, hence, Fridates. Thankfully, I have friends who I can call/text anytime for a rendezvous. I must thank them for keeping me sane during that time and putting up with my endless rants. I appreciate them so much for bearing with my "out-of-the-blue-I-suddenly-feel-sad" attitude. If I were them, I'd probably kill myself. Thank God I'm not them. Haha! Seriously, who would want to invite someone who suddenly cries unexpectedly? I'm such a kj before. Hahaha!

I'm sure there are lot more random lakads/gimiks I've made with my friends. I just don't bring my camera most of the time. Haha!
... I enrolled in a gym
Yep. That's right. I know it's weird because I'm not really fat. In fact I'm sooooo thin. But why did I enroll in the first place? Well, it's part of what you call "self improvement". LOL. I spent most of my spare time in the gym trying to look like I know what I'm doing. Haha! Sometimes, I join classes. And I realize, it's fun to do some belly dancing.
...I wrote down my feelings
but I didn't blog. I tried to limit my internet time because I have the tendency to stalk. Nyahaha. Hence, I wrote in my diary. I'm not a great writer though (the reason why I don't blog often). I just feel like putting my thoughts in a piece of paper hoping that after writing what I feel and after crushing that piece of paper (I know I know I'm insane haha), I'd be okay. Well, it helps, sometimes.
...I cried
No need to elaborate on that. Crying makes me feel better. There's something cathartic about having a good cry and "letting it all out". Plus, it is healthy. Okay, I look like I'm justifying my misery. Haha!
...I simply kept myself BUSY
In my attempt to keep my mind from thinking stupid things, I try my best to keep myself busy. I joined a club (Toastmasters club), joined our office cheerdance team and helped in our Kumon center. Apart from honing my "long-lost talents" (yehess kala mo meron), I gained new friends. It's pretty exciting actually because being the sociable that I am, I like meeting new people. I even considered enrolling for a yoga class! But well, after trying out yoga one time, I realized it's not for me. I'd die doing those stunts. Pfffft. Haha must learn how to be more flexible.
May 2011 - EWB Sportsfest
November 2011 - Toastmasters' Club Halloween Party
...I gave myself a makeover
The hair I've grown for two years...*poof* In a snap, they were all gone. I don't know what came into my mind during that time, but I just feel like chopping it off. Maybe because, my long hair holds memories (yeah he likes playing with my hair), or maybe because it's just a habit I do whenever I have "issues" with my lovelife (I do something with my hair when my lovelife's not so okay thus my curly and super short hair). I'm leaning towards the latter. Actually, I felt great after cutting my hair! It's the shortest hair I've sported in my life so far and it didn't hurt that I managed to carry it. But now, I want my looooong hair back. Haha! Okay, maybe I just have to wait few more months. Tsss.
from this loooong.. I cut it into this short.
Goodbye long hair :(
I also had my manicure and pedicure done, had some facial and all those girly things.
...I dated other people
I think this was the most stupid thing I did during my "healing period". Haha! I just dated anyone who asked me out. Some dates were great, some were boring and most of them, a failure. Not that I'm so choosy but then maybe because I was just not ready to open up my heart again during that time...so I appeared uninterested. Funny because one guy told me once "parang nabobore ka na sakin". Hahaha yeah. I found him boring. Sorry namaaaan.
...I prayed
Ahh the power of prayer. This is the time when I go to church just to..well..pass time. I talk to Him, cry to Him, well sometimes I yell at Him. Thank you Lord for healing me. :)
I'm sure there are a lot more things (sane and insane) that I did just to fix that broken heart. I'm glad I'm okay now. I've learned a lot from that experience and I'm sure the next time I'll fall inlove, it will be an awesome one. Haha Can't wait for that! I'm now ready to fall inlove again. ;)
