I found out from Alex that Louise has a blog. And he found out about mine too. He forced me though…I asked him kasi what he got for Louise and what did she got for him this Christmas
Alexx: “Secret”

leche talaga si alexxx, talent niya yun eh, asarin ako. But he said basahin ko na lang sa blog ni Louise, I was shocked but really excited because finally I can read from someone I know personally. So immediately, I checked out her blog. Browsed through it lang kasi I was waiting for the bf to call. So later, after I post this, I’ll read all her posts.

Last night was Dang’s 21st birthday celebration. Her birthday really is on the 24th but since it’s Christmas Eve, not everyone could attend. And that happens every year. I was telling my mom, that for the longest time we’ve been friends, this would be the first time I’ll attend her birthday party. So this year, she celebrated it on the 26th. Before we picked up Jen & Nina, I needed a quick trip at Glorietta and get the birthday girl a gift and my other friends who will attend (aside nina and jen, coz I got them gifts already) their Christmas gift naman. My plan was earrings for Dang and something from Papelmerotti for Florida and Anne. Both shops I planned to buy on closed just as I was on their door. And so, my last resort…herBench. I got Dang cutesy panties, Florida two socks, and Anne hair spray. I left jog pa nga, kasi nag CR sya, and I told him sa Sak-O-Beads lang ako, but then it closed nga, and I feared everything will close and herBench was the last na, so I went there without informing him, tpos na sa akin pa cell niya. I finished shopping agad naman, but syempre he must be looking for me all over, buti na lang he’s patient. (bawi) On our way there, Anne who got there at 7p texted me and the girls that she will leave early cause there’s another party she and Robert needs to attend to. (it was Robert’s friend naman) When we got there, Anne was already outside waiting. But glad she stayed longer even if Robert arrived na. We exchanged gifts and Nina got me the best one, not because it was pretty pricey, but because she knew I wanted it. Anne gave us boy leg panties, Jen – Nivea Lip Balm, and Nina got me BS Lip & Cheek tint! I loved all their gifts naman, jen was nicely wrapped. Who doesn’t like gifts?

Later I find out that it was all Dang’s money spent on her birthday. She’s working na kasi. But we we’re all amazed and happy for Dang coz we know that, that’s the way she would want her birthday to be. We realize, at least someone from us is growing up!

This entry could get better if I could share with you our pictures. Tamad to get my phone eh. I finally bought my own copy of Da Vinci code, hoping I could finish it na. I wanted to buy 11 minutes but then I thought if I’ll buy it na, I would just be excited to start it then leave the Da Vinci code na naman.

Jog and I still haven’t gotten each other gifts. I know what I would get him na kaya lang, I just don’t have the time.( my fav excuse) I asked him out for dinner, my Christmas treat for him but he doesn’t know where I’ll be taking him. We passed there last night, I told him “Ay, dun oh, wag na lang”. Then he said “ha? Dun mu ko I-date?, we laughed and he said “Hindi talaga uso sa ating dalawa surprise noh!” Because on Christmas eve he asked me if I liked the color green na jacket from BAYO, coz that’s what he got me daw. Sabi ko “ssssssshhhhhh! Surprise mu nman ako” then he laugh, sabi niya, actually I haven’t bought it, pero I looked at BAYO and wala na dun yung gusto mu jacket, so sa Kamiseta, meron sila, yun nga lang green, I just wanted to know if you like the color. Crazy.

I was telling my friends that he’s vain. And bakla siya. Totoo naman eh. His friend bobot and I call him “45mins” kasi that’s how long it takes him to prepare when they go out. Sobra! And there was this time, he came from his OJT and he was wearing their uniform, tapos he changed his shirt, gray shirt. Eh blue yung pants niya, from our house to the mall he kept on checking out his attire and kept on saying “hindi bagay, uwi na tayo”.
Iba.
He was wearing the pants I wanted him to wear. He still wears baggy pants pa kasi, I told him mas bagay yung mejo fit. And last night, he wore not so tight fit worn out pants. Porma noh!

But I love that that’s how he is. He has good taste and rubs a little of it on me. Hehe I like bringing him along when I shop or most of the time window shop, the great thing about it is :

1.he doesn’t mind and does not complain
2.he gives his opinion and chooses which one’s better without sarcasm.

He sometimes tells me pa nga what to buy or what should I wear. Most of all, he appreciates when I look good on this or that. He sometimes even joke when I forget to put on some blush on which he calls “daya/ pam peke”, he would say “ay! Hindi mo na ako pinaghahandaan.”

I’ll be having my Print Media OJT at People’s Journal. We were supposed to report at the office kanina, but I could not get off the bed, 9am na me natulog. We had tequila at Nina’s place after Dang’s party. Tonet passed by here, to tell me it was ok I didn’t go, kasi wala naman daw yung head naming. She also got her West Ice cigs from my boyfriend. They like each other. Good for me.

Everyone who knows me very well would say, why not have your OJT on a magazine? I know! But due to pakikisama and lack of chance, I think I’m stucked there. But I’ll make sure that on January I’ll get that recommendation from the school and together pass my resume at Summit Media.

My bf was asking me kanina what time I’ll be going to report at work tomorrow. Sabi ko tamad na ako. But he said I should go kung gusto ko graduate sa March. “this is your last sem” Mas tatamarin ka pag wala ka kasabay. Buti na lang, good adviser si boyfriend.

LSS: Crazy for you: Spongecola
TO DO: give off old clothes
get jog a gift

we just came from Market!Market! hay naku, i bought na gifts for my friends:

Jen
Nina
Pangga
Te Mhay (jog's sis)

tpos, i got myself shirts. tpos i left most of my money dito sa house so, hindi ako nakabili for him.
i was thinking a belt. pero i also wanted to buy him a pink shirt since he likes to have one daw and i think he can get away with that, bading talaga and boyfriend ko!

but have not yet got tonet one. tpos im not sure if we- my highschool friends will have our christmas- get- together this year. since nina's back, i hope evryone will make time. if it will push through, i have to prepare almost 10 gifts pa. although i have an idea na, sympre kuripot na naman si manang. :)

my demand of a beautiful love story

Last night while having the usual phone conversation-before-we-go-to-sleep with my boyfriend, we looked back, a little flashback on the things that happened before it became “us”. So we went from asaran to me being pikon. I was, ok, insisting that he liked me that night I stayed at their house, while he said no, he was just being nice. And so I thought if that’s what he says he did, then maybe I just pushed this whole relationship with him. I mean, if I hadn’t admitted to Jen, her sister that I liked him, and if I had not talked to him consistently on the phone for days at that time, and had I been honest that I had a bf, (yes that time I had, but believe me that’s another story) it could have not been together.

That night, because of that crazy realization, I said a lot of things I didn’t mean, to the extent of saying, I wasn’t sure if this is what I wanted. I know, its really mababaw and good thing, jog is really patient and hindi na niya ako pinatulan.

I’m sorry, and its really mababaw, and childish. But the reason why I was upset about it, is because all along I thought we had a cute, romantic, funny love story I could share to those who would mind to know how we got together, and of course, if this was for keeps, something I could tell my kids and grandchildren. (I know very fast forward) and maybe even if things wouldn’t work for us, I know ours is a great love story and I would still tell my kids about it.

In my past relationships, I didn’t have that. And from the start of this relationship, I thought we had that love story I wanted, kaya nga I thought this was really different. And just like that, I felt I lost it.

He tried to appease me, but you know naman, whatever he says I wouldn’t believe him kasi at the back of my mind I’ll think that its not sincere and he’s just trying to make me happy and forget about the thoughts I had.

I know its hard to understand, and I know what’s important is now. That I’m happy, we’re happy, and he’s still the same guy I met 11 months ago. Maybe I just couldn’t accept the fact that at the beginning the feeling was not mutual.

P.S.
we're not talking. he's really mad na.

and zuv is back!

another day

I got another stamp for my Starbucks planner. I had to, I knew I had to spend my last P100 to a cup of coffee, for me to have my planner.soon.

On the way home, sa Bangketa ng Pedro Gil, where every vendor seem to take advantage of the holiday season “shopping” a white watch caught my attention. You see, ive went to all tiangges I know for me to find that big white watch, with no “tatak”. Yung hindi ako ma-chismis, kasi most of the watches I’ve seen are imitations of Guess, Dior, Gucci and the like. I didn’t want to have that kind of watch naman, and so when I saw the watch, I asked Manong if meron siyang tatak, I couldn’t see, I wasn’t wearing my glasses, and he said wala po, P100 na lang tapat na po. KACHING! Me, a fan of bargains couldn’t help but haggle pa rin, “Manong, baka pwede nmang 80 na lang” when in fact at the back of my mind it’s a steal coz I’ve seen a lot of these watches and the cheapest I’ve seen so far is P200. And so when Manong said, tapat na po with a smile, I said OK, and asked if the batteries are new. it is, so GO!

I went home with a new watch inside my yellow green -P100 bag, I’m naming it OPRAH, because for those who know, it’s her favorite color.

I don’t have classes tomorrow; I’ve already fixed a box from my cabinet, and found make up unused because they were stocked at the end of my cabinet. And so, I told myself before I shower, why not have a little play with the make up.

While writing this, I’m reminded of the strange girl’s blog…zuv.. I miss reading her.

And by the way, although I know a lot who hates Paris Hilton, I must admit she’s not getting into my nerves. Actually I kinda like her.

DA VINCI CODE: no progress

before i go to school

updating....

i got my Starbucks card na, i have to have 21 stamps and as of this writing, i only have 4 pa lang. Read Bianca and Iya's blog, Bianca's 8 stamps to go and Iya's 13 pa, according to Bianca, we'll be spending 2,100 to get that Planner. Jog said that when he knew how many stamps i would be needing, sabi niya it's impractical and i could get a cheaper Planner and it doesnt have to have Starbucks in front of it.

but i want and needed it.
after school, i have to drop by starbucks and get my 5th sticker!!!

Friendster..

i've been listing all of my classmates form elementary, esp those who didn't finished highschool in Sta.Isabel, somehow i felt i wanted to be connected with them, syang nman friendster account ko kung puro present friends ko lang nandun, besides that's the purpose of Friendster naman di ba. i wanted to do the searching and adding now, but i have a 1pm class.

which reminds me, ibabalik na yung first quiz namin and gosh, baka lagpak ako dun. Physics eh syet.

Market!MArket!

we went again last saturday, shopped a little crazy. i went home with 4 bags, 2 in each hands.
and it's slightly annoying to see everyone wearing flower brooches, but then i reminded myself everyone is allowed to wear it.

try to write something with sense later..

**Da Vinci Code --i'm not progressing!!!!!

the late Nov22 entry


LAST SALE OF THE YEAR

Last night, "we" (my mom,sister and i) went to Glorietta and survived it's last day of SALE.i bought two decent white pants and a lip gloss i would share with my little sister. my mom enjoys bringing us to the mall,of course Buding and I does enjoy too,kasi we would end up bringing home "something". On weekends, when we have nothing to do, my mom would always invite(sometimes, bribe us --with the promise that she will buy us what we want) us to go to the mall, divisoria, greenhills, or a newly opened mall.

SM - We've got it all for you

it was the first time i went to SM, actually i've been there a nuber of times already when they opened after their renovation, but it was my first time to see it finally organized (like what i really liked about SM Dept. Stores) with the left wing opened. when i went there kasi, sa center pa yung mga stalls, the right wing pa lang yung open, yung shoe section. i enjoyed going through their shoe and bag section, reasonably priced kasi.
Magazine

I've finally bought my November issue of seventeen Philippines! the only magazine i've promised to buy, since i want to save up for books instead. i've been in love with magazines since forever, and i've only realized i've got a collection, 4 years ago. BINGO
i miss having a BINGO store nearby, in Taft Ave. Cor. Pedro Gil, there was a Bingo Store, but now they have 7 eleven instead, actually in Pedro Gil, it has 3 7-eleven outlets on 3 consecutive sts. 1-near the Petron station, 2-across Taft Ave, 3- cor. Leon Guinto.BINGO kasi sells back issues of Vogue, Allure,People, and other foreign Mags, at a cheaper price. i've bought a Vogue, Gwyneth Paltrow cover, one of the thickest issue i have for P100. and by back issues i don't mean years ago, like for example now its Novemeber, there would be September issues that would cost you 100-150 depending on the magazine and usually the thickness of it. Ive bought quite a number of Allure mags, and it costed me P80 - P100 tops.

so there, if you also love magazines, as much i do, and you know a BINGO store nearby, i suggest you check it out.

another tip** if you think P150 Vogue is still pricey, you could wait, kasi they usually lower the price, lalo na pag marami pang copies, in a few weeks lower na yung price.just make sure they still have enough copies

**sa SM din nga pala, they have back issues,sa stationary section.

Poinsettia

In G4, there are Poinsettias.December is just a week away. I'm a little bit excited, of course, this would be the first Christmas of Princess (our dog) with us, my last Christmas as a student (i hope/yipee!) and it's also our (jog and i) first Christmas together. and i'm planning to buy my first MAC lipstick, due to too much reading of Erica Paredes' blog.hehe i have to ask her yet what she recommends me to buy.i'm also excited coz, i will have christmas money to spend on. the savings i have with tonet. yehey!

on my christmas list are:
pumps
blue haviannas
denim jacket
cheap flip flops
skirts

** i need to have the Starbucks 2005 Planner or the Powerbooks Planner!

BOOKs i finished reading-- Bridget Jones: the edge of reasoning, setting aside Da VInci Code, which i must continue reading, must pressure myself to read coz it's my tita's.Helen Fielding didn't have much surprise, it was quite a light read, Bridget didn't celebrate her/our birthday, and i wonder who will play Colin Firth when in the first movie Colin Firth was Mark Darcy.i pressured myself to finish the book last saturday in the fear that i would not make it till the release of the movie, only to find out it will be shown last week of november!
thank to kimi gurl who lend me the book, she also introduced me to four blondes.

i recommend:

if you would like your pictures from your cellphones printed, i suggest, you go to the kodak outlet in Glorietta hmmm i'm not sure if its 2 or 3, the one across Tower Records, near Nescafe Cafe. they offer the cheapest among those i've tried.

LSS (last song syndrome): My Boo
BOOK: Da Vinci Code (not even half way, the book has been with me foe 3 weeks now!)
FOOD CRAVING: none
TO DO: haven't done my to do list
