i’ve lots of nicknames.. depending on who you are in my life, you could be referring to me as ida, lyn, aileen, b, ta, ids, idajet, etc. i don’t really mind having all these nicknames, i’m sure i’m not the only person in the word to have so many nicknames.

i have also gotten used to people misspelling my name, since the pronounciation can be tricky for some people. what really bothers me though, is when i say my name is “ida” and spell it to them as “i-d-a”, they feel it’s necessary to correct me and say “ohhh AIDA”, as though i don’t know how to pronounce my own name

i’m not making much sense. i’m sort of in a funky mood, wanting to be left alone but not really wanting to be by myself. i’m being sulky too cos butch was tired and went to bed early, which means we weren’t able to talk much today. tomorrow we’ve got this thing (again) for sfc and we have to attend even though i don’t really want to. i just want a whole weekend to myself and not have to go anywhere i don’t want to go to.

i must be pms-ing that’s why i’m like this. oh well, i’m sure i’ll lighten up sometime soon. on the plus side, january is nearly over, which means i’m getting married in two months hehe that made me feel a bit better.

last night i dreamt that i was chatting on ym with butch’s friends and for some reason his ym id turned into his friend’s ym id which was “batman”. in my dream butch found out some things about me because of his nosy friend and wanted to call off the wedding.

i’m not even gonna try and read into that dream, there is no way either of us is calling off the wedding hehe

because i have so many weird dreams i’ve decided to start this dream journal. the purpose isn’t really to try and interpret my dreams, but more on amusing myself hehe.

my mom is worried that because i am moving to LA before the church wedding, that i might be pregnant on my church wedding. so aside from the frequent references to “maria” and “pedro”, sex education from my mom now includes… ta-da! the RHYTHM method hahaha

basically she said that it always works as long as your period is regular, meaning you get it every month, not necessarily on the exact same day. you start counting from the first day of your period. days 1 to 8 are “safe” days, but day 8 is a bit iffy because even though day 8 is safe, if you had sex that day the sperm cells can survive up to 3 days, so there is a chance you can get pregnant.

days 9 to 22 are “unsafe” days, meaning if you want to get pregnant, then hump like rabbits on these days. but if not doing it for 14 days is not an option, then after having sex, the woman has to “iri” straight away LOL days 23 up to when you have the period again are “safe” days.

my period has been fairly regular. i notice though that when i get excited my period gets delayed. like when butch was about to come over, i was meant to have it on the 23rd, but it got delayed and i didn’t actually have it until the 30th. hopefully though i won’t have my period on our honeymoon in march hahaha if i do then there’s not much stressing about the days and numbers.

why is it that after an entire year goes by and you try to do some sort of recap, it seems as though not much has happened? well, that was how i usually felt before 2006. last year was definitely one of the most “action-packed” years of my life so far.

first of all, i finally graduated from ateneo! who knew that after five years i would actually finish it. i am so thankful of all the things that happened that lead up to what is happening in my life now. things that seemed like major upsets back then are really blessings in disguise. if sir maguyon (and i) didn’t stuff up with my subjects then, i would’ve never had the chance to chat with butch on irc that day.

another thing that also happened was i moved from to melbourne. when i got back from manila in june i hadn’t planned to move to melbourne so early. but because i had already made the decision to move, my stay in canberra felt like such a chore. so i quit my job and moved i also joined the sfc household here in melbourne and made new friends.

career-wise i decided to try and get into technical writing, but because of my new plans that might have to be put on hold. plus i’m not so sure if that is something that i want to make a career out of. right now, perhaps because of all the excitement going on, i think i want to become a wedding planner, or at the very least an events organiser hehe.

and the biggest thing(s) that happened of course, is getting to know butch, becoming his girlfriend, finally meeting him and our engagement. the past nine months of talking to him everyday has been great. i am really looking forward to becoming his wife and being with him. he came at a time when i was ready to settle down. i’m really thankful to God for bringing us together in spite of the distance and the seemingly impossible odds.

2007 will probably be an even bigger year, with our civil wedding coming up, me applying for a working visa and moving to LA to be with him. i am not worried though because i know that God will let everything fall into place. and i also know that if sometimes things seem to not go according to plan, God will always have something better for us that He will reveal at the right time.
