when older doesn't mean wiser..

so, my birthday's coming up. it would be a very happy event if my family and friends will share the day with me.

i've been not celebrating my birthday for two years now, aside from my being kuripot, nobody that i know really exerted effort for me on my birthday.aside from greeting, although greetings are good enough for me, no one has ever made me feel extra special on this extra special day. no i'm not asking you to pity me. this past two years have been not a "happy" birthday. even if i choose to be happy, i think its natural that i feel sad that this happens/ that i feel this way on my birthday.

so anyway, enough of the drama... i just hope this year would be different from the other two years.

i don't want to say how old i am, and if you know, please don't say it to me... i already know so much.

with that number, i should be working like all of my highschool batchmates, and if i was working, i should have all the money i need and buy all the shoes that i would want and can afford. i could have shared paying the bills, i could be paying for my cellphone bill, and maybe i could afford that much needed and deserved summer getaway.

i should be, but i'm not. and i guess it would be too late to have regrets and blame it on my bad judgement. but hey, i'm happy and i've learned from those things. and i think that's what's important. although what i've learned doesn't really make me "wiser", i know there's so much for me to learn. but definitely i choose better now.i hope.:)

i have two other friends who's celebrating their bdays this month, actually, this is a belated happy birthday to my two best pals, Pam and Jenny!!! i hope both of you had a great day yesterday! cheers!

hitch

i know...everybody has seen it.

it was only last night that jog and i watched the movie. and it was funny and educational.

i was telling jog that in the heirarchy of fictional romantic men, Noah (the notebook) tops the list, Dr.Hitches is next on that list..hehehe

we had dinner at the foodcourt of sm manila. my friends and i have been raving about Magic Wok for over a week now. and i told them, jog would love their food. and for those who loves rice toppings, i would definitely recommend for you to try Magic Wok.

Lemme write!

Just when I have the inspiration to write again, surf maxx wouldn’t cooperate. Again, just as I was about to write an error message popped so I decided to write it on word muna, And when I have been able to write 2 paragraphs straight, our pc shuts down. And I haven’t saved it! Syet.

Last week has been a tough week, aside from my emotional drama, our thesis was due for defense. It was on a Monday, March 7 when we had to defend our study. And just when we all thought we were doing the right thing, just because it was not the traditional thesis, like what 4th years do every year in our school, one of the panelists said, we had to do it again. And yes, I cursed him to hell after that. We’ve been through all-nighters for a week for that thesis, just because they couldn’t understand T-test and our statistical data, it was wrong? If a statistician was present or a teacher from the Math department was there, it could have been a different story. But anyways, god is good and so, Mrs. Bionesta (our savior) said we just had to make minor revisions and it will all be good. And as of this writing, I have to make a dedication and we are to have it book bind. Salamat.

This week, is finals week. By the way, Nat Sci 2 is giving me sleepless nights. I’m so scared I might not be able to graduate because of that subject. Finals week for most of my school mates but its OJT cramming for me. I have to make up 30 hours for print and 45 hours for radio. Wish me luck.

I was able to unwind last Friday with good friends and the man who relaxes me…I’m loving love moves now both Nina and MYMP’s version, but Jlo’s new single is hot!

I haven’t progressed on The five People you meet in heaven, haven’t had the time. Hope after this week, I’ll be able to find time. Jog finished Catcher in the Rye na, when in fact we both started reading the books at the same time. I’ve created a monster! Hehe

So there, hope everyone’s doing well!

when it all falls down

its been a while since i last wrote..a lotta things happened, up until last night when i felt, ugh...this is too much..

i'd rather not go into details but it reminds me of the time in highschool, when my "friends" all got mad at me, and they turned my bestfriend into their side and got mad at me for reasons that i lied to her daw and i didnt tell it to her face whenever i get tampo, or when she gets tampo always and i couldnt understand why she gets like that.

its frustrating and i get hurt when people i consider friends do things like this. na parang, our friendship is defined with the time we spent together and when i call them, yun lang ba? i mean even if we don't talk, my bestfriend gian lives far north, its just recently they got a phone line again and a cellphone, and now that we could actually talk, she has work na. but i dont get mad that we dont have time together, or she does not have the time, the beauty of our friendship is when we get together, it feels like its not been years since we last talked. we could pick it up where we left it..

another thing, its hurtful when you think your friend should know you better, and yet, when shit happens and you are in the that shitty sitation the blame is on you, before you conclude or blame it to someone else, a friend would think "she cannot possibly do a thing like this"

i think what hurts the most is when FRIENDS do this to you. i don't have to say ive been a good friend, i know im not perfect but i know i wouldnt do something like this to a friend.

and when such a thing like this happens to the people you love, it's bad that they seem to blame it on you.

basta, today, i learned the real meaning of family and friends.

and if ive been thankful and proud of my boyfriend, much more now.

this shall all past, and i hope things would get better for everyone.

P.S.

this picture was taken at Dang's bday last year. all of us with the new members.hehe

Fab 5

Just watched their holiday episode wherein they visited and invited some of those who they made-over and see how they kept it together since the make over.

Among the finalists, Adam and his wife was chosen the best kept and I couldn’t agree more.

Their house – their living room, kitchen and living room seems to be the same way the 5 left it. It’s touching to see how much they learned
And maintained the make over. It’s nice to see men listening and keeping advices from gays.


Keeping it together

Speaking of which, we managed (my thesis group) to submit our Chapters 1-3 today. There are just minor revisions. The clock is ticking… February na later! OMG! –haha cant believe im using that word.

Jobs

This morning my lolo texted me about a job fair for INFONXX (not sure) at the RCBC this week. I know it’s a call center. I’m just not sure if I’m going to go there since I still have 2 internships, thesis, and 1 minor subject which I never thought would be this much of a problem to me.

So, even if I want to work and apply for work this early, it would be a much wiser choice to keep my priorities on graduating on March, and give the job hunting a little less pressure on me.

things i'm looking forward to this week

• thesis -well it has been all thesis for these past few weeks, like right now, Jeline my thesis mate had just emailed me our thesis and i have to edit and save it for tommorows the deadline of chapters 1-3.
• OJT - well, just writing about it pressures me...i have to accomplish that since its already February and we have so little time left to finish all these requirements! i have 120 hours of OJT left.
• other graduating requirements - i have to at least get some of it crossed out on my to do list!!
• make time for the bf - i know this will be a hell of a week, maybe the only time i'll be having to have with him is on saturday...that is if i'll be free
• baking- finally, my father arranged the oven. mag-sawa lahat ng kilala ko because i'll be baking all week! hahaha!
• catch up on my reading - i've bought catcher in the rye at the start of this month/year and i have'nt progressed...it was kinda too rebelious for me...
• keep writing - i've deprived myself of writing, for a long time. something held back my love for writing blahs, (that story should be in a different entry) but i think i've got it back...

firsts

well, last thursday, i had to meet up with my gurl Jen and buy gifts for our friend Vanessa who's going to get married the next day. yah, i know. But really for me, it was a brave decision for Vanessa and Niño to get married at their early 20's. i mean today, the older the better. Everyone does not like to gamble and take on the responsiblities this early. (that includes me)
and so, knowing Vanessa who's headstrong and stands up for what she wants, i know they could get through this...

Imagine the two of us, buying gifts for a wedding! we had no idea. grabe! we we're gigling all the throughout the gift buying. I had to not really abandon, but leave early our thesis session. Most of our working friends had to take a leave, and some had to be absent to attend her wedding. Jen and I we're saying that she had to go through this for us din when our time comes!!!! and i was telling Jen, no more baby shower for her!!! expensive na! i'm still not working!!! haha

and so the day has come, January 28, 2004

Transpo was not really a problem since my ever dependable boyfriend was willing to come and drive for us-- Jen and Niña to the wedding. when we we're about to leave, the car wouldnt start...i was a little bit calm, and buti na lang our kapitbahay is an auto shop. they helped us, so yun we took Nagtahan and Espana, although Vanessa textd us instead of Nagtahan, we should take Sta. Mesa, but it was too late since we're reaching Espana na. Buti na lang di masyado traffic, by the way, we have to be out of the streets by 3pm kasi color coding.hehe The only problem left was, we didnt know where West Ave was... we took Timog Ave instead and we we're lost we ended up in Commonwealth..hay naku..we we're all patient naman since nobody knew the directions, we we're just worried, we wanted to on time for the rites.

We arrived there, the place was packed with a lot of older (yes, the lola and lolo kind) of people. we and niño's friends lang we're the young ones. ang naabutan na lang namin was, "Blue plates po sa atin". hahaha

It was a civil wedding, and so i thought there wouldnt be those wedding rituals like the cutting of the cake, the doves and the garter and bouquet catching.

So the host, who was for me very impatient and demanding. Started to get everyone's attention for the cutting of the cake, we got the wishes on the cake -mine said something about the career chuva. followed by the garter catching, then, "all the single ladies please come forward for the catching of the bouquet (is that the way you call it ba?), i really did not want to participate since, i was with the boyfriend, it would be too awkward. but then the bf, said "Sige na,ok lang, nakakhiya,ikaw lang sa mga barkada mo matitira sa table. he's right, and i was thinking what are the chances?

and so, we all lined up there and as vanessa threw the bouquet, it landed on me.. no intentions, it hitted my head then my chest then it fell in front of me. i protested it wasn't for me and besides, it would be akward to participate in the garter thing since some other guy got it--i mean a friend of niño, some other guy --not jog. so there, i was kill joy.

although he was telling me it was ok, i still didnt want to do it.

afterwards, he joked about me getting the bouquet. "Hala ka!" It kinda occured to me that yes, catching the bouquet means "you're next", but hey! i didn't catched it, it landed on me. besides it's not a wedding tradition who would decide when i'll get married. what am i saying?? the last sentence made me wide eyed!

we then headed to manila, we dropped off Anne, Magaan,Jho,Niña and JC. then since Tonet and the my other friends are shooting their short film in Malate, we decided to drop by. and just when i was about to txt tonet, she already sensed it. the text read

:halur! dito kami rothman hotel,rm 314,akyat na lang kayo.ingat!

hahaha that's tonet!

and after the chikahan and some yosi break for my beau, we finally got to catch MEET THE FOCKERS at Rob.Place. It was so hilarious! i know, everyone already watched it na. whatever. hehehe. it was so funny, i was irritated to with the guy behind us, who was laughing so hard it was disturbing na and was telling the whole movie na! kainis! i just hate it when people do that! i mean, if you've watched it before na, keep it to yourself! don't steal our chance to have a good laugh. if by chance we didn't get the punch lines and you did, good for you, don't mind us. it's not your money we spent on this one! he kept when jog said "tsong, pakihinaan" but it was too late. we almost didnt enjoy the movie!!! i hope he reads this! hehehe ok lang sana the laugh, but he was laughing so loud i cud not hear the next lines the actors was saying. grrrrr

kaya nga sometimes, although this thought might be discriminating, pero, di ba, its better to watch in Makati or Alabang and pay 100+ --you'll get your money's worth with the audience you'll be sharing the movie with. Instead of paying a little less than that and be with those kind of people who talk during the movie, laugh so loud, and talk about the movie all together! hay!

assh-hole! hahaha! ben stiller's the best! hehehe

so anyway, those we're the firsts for me this week. and boy was it hell. from thesis, to graduation requirements, to weddings.

**this entry could have been much more better with pics, but my dad's cradle for his phone is not here.damot! hehehe

my sister my enemy



I wrote that when i was in third grade. An essay, actually it was more of an attempt to make an essay. It was that early, i was 9, that i wanted to write. Or actually thought i could write.

You see, Buding as we all call her,(Alexis to her friends) is 5 years younger than I am. When she was born, i wasnt really crazy about her. though i wasn't jealous, let me make that clear, i was just used to being myself and being the only kid around the house. Although i remember joining her in her crib drinking milk, still form the bottle and kinda play with her. I remember rescuing her after her yaya left her in the room sleeping and got locked. I had to climb on top of the door and jump from above the little hole my Tito made for me to get inside.

I was used to playing alone, having imaginary friends, being the first grandchild on both sides and being the only pamangkin my aunts and uncles are fond of. So when we we're growing up, and she can play with me na, I wasn't crazy-happy at all. I should say, we didn't click.

But now, that I'm on my 20's (and would still want to remain that age even after 10 years) and she's turning 17, we've actually grown closer together. Thankfully. Our parents couldnt be any happier.

We're actually not only roomates, we're currently bedmates due to the very cold weather. Actually, it started during the rainy season, there's a leak from the roof on our room, and sakto sa bed niya. There was this time, it rained so hard her bed was soaked and we needed mga pails para masalo yung tulo ng water. Of course she couldn't sleep there, and we ended up to sleep together until now.

It's actually fun, although sometimes we still get into each other's nerves. But it will always end up her making kwento about her school and the things she did that day, her teasing me on the things i do, on me being gullible and me being a nag to our little brother and my boyfriend. Or me trying to please her (all of us in the family are takot to her), me making kwento, me asking her to teach me on my NatSci subject.

I never told her this, but i hope this makes up for it.

I appreciate her and the things she does specially for me, and I'm proud of her dancing and being a cheerleader (although there was a time i teased her for that). I'm proud that she's matured and sometimes she acts like the "ate". I know there's a whole world out there for her to explore and conquer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDING!

trauma

my sister got into a real tragic incident yesterday. she went home shaking, and crying while telling me the details.

on her way home,[ from her school(also my former school) to our house, it will just be two rides away] on the jeepney she rode in Taft, i cannot even continue to write, i'm more traumatized by the whole incident than her...i cant write anymore..she got hold-up.tinutukan sya ng balisong, and the worst part, not only tinutok, tinurok pa yun on her sides para maramdaman niya talaga yung balisong. before itutok sa kanya, pinakita pa talaga sa kanya. they we're 3. and accor to my sister, mga adik. the f's and the p's are not even enough cursing for them!!

i felt bad being the eldest, and my school right now is so near lang, i mean we should have been going home together, and maybe this could not have happend. and i'm so terrified for my sister and the trauma she has now, if only i could take the trauma for me na lang. although i'm thankful nothing else had happend to her but every chance that i have to pray at night i always ask for the safety of my family. no im not blaming God, its how unsafe Manila is.

there we're no policemen. could you imagine, there are 2 other schools near my sister's school, and there's a big sign pa na WAG MAG CELLPHONE MAG INGAT SA MAGNANAKAW, my sister was not using her phone. im sure kaya may sign na ganun kasi there have been incidents na, and yet there we're no policemen, 2 station ng police meron in that area, both in U.N.

i dont want to dwell on that na. i want it erased from my memory.

i hope nothing like this happens to you, or anyone form your family.

god bless us all.

and hey! how could i forget to write, LOUISE gave me the nickname "kikaye"


that's me the fatso with my bitch


he can can me anything he wants, i call him the "grade 2 first communion kid" alex&me


the "toys R us couple"


i occupied the whole space!


alexxx as "Chito Miranda" hehe gwaping eh!


the pic taken by chilli, who i realized does not have a picture with me or picture taken that night
louise and the real fatso -Al King

Catching up

My Saturday started with my dentist texting me about porcelain jackets, that ive texted her about last night, because someone I know needs it and is kinda canvassing around how much it would really cost. Then, my bestfriend Gian followed, asking if I had class or anything I had to do. I immediately replied, no im at home sleeping, no classes for me today. I knew she would come over,since its been ages since we’ve last saw each other, plus she works just 20 mins away..Makati..so, I was waiting for the doorbell, when my mom calls, and tells me to get ready and she’ll buy me an OVEN. Yes, we don’t have that. I’ve been cooking for my family since high school with a gas stove. I don’t even know what do they really call that. All I know is that, since I learned baking when I was on 4th year high school, I wanted to bake and bake. And I know I’m good at it.

So, we had brunch at ToHo in Binondo. Then, we went to this appliance store in Binondo, where as my mom always finds the best bargains, even on appliances, they had exactly what I wanted, well not actually, but close enough. A 4-burner gas range, with an oven roaster that could not only bake but as the lady who sold it to us said, it could roast a LECHON! Wow! But the only set back was, we couldn’t take it home yet, cause they don’t have stocks, and it would be delivered Monday. Oh well, I wanted to have the best, so all right, what’s so bad about having it on Monday instead. I’ve wanted that for years.

Gian and I did the catching up, she seems to enjoy her job right now, as to it was all she talked about. I’m happy for her, and I just hope it would bore her eventually and may it bring her back to school.

Later, Louise texted me that they we’re hanging out in glorietta, and so I wanted to see them. The last time we saw each other was when we watched x-men 2, I think…basta I miss them and wanted to see how they all are, now that all of them are working na. kainggit. I’m glad to know that nothing has changed, Alex was still the cheek-pinching-8-year-old. Nahawa na si Louise sa toy craziness ni Alexxx, but still the animated Louise I met. And Al-king who gained so much weight, I don’t believe its holiday weight, still looked good and just says the right punch lines on me. And Chilley, who also gained weight but it looks good on him and should keep it, made me realize he might be just right for my high school kumare Jenny.

We watched Kung- Fu hustle which was “gad-dam-funny” (I want to quote Al-King) and everybody who watched it before me and said it was soooo funny was right. It was hilarious, and although I’m a Matrix fan, the Kung Fu scenes was for me their way of saying we are the originals!

All night, Alexxx and Al-King we’re teasing me about my arms, my belly, and my cheek-fats! Hehehe But its fine for me, I enjoy their company. I know they’ll be reading this, so, thanks guys for the fun Saturday night. Sa uulitin!

**super late entry

hi!

inaasar kasi ako ni louise..update daw yung last post ko...palpak nga eh..

yesterday, we we're supposed to watch oceans 12, kaya lng mejo late na kami, so we moved the plan on friday. everyone in school, are having their midterms exams, me? My only exam would be Nat.Sci and its scheduled on Saturday, 830 am. so goodluck to me.

finally, finished Da Vinci Code. the first few chapters really bored me, it surprised me with the revelations on the first few chapters of the book. after those revelations, it got me hooked. made it my before sleeping ritual and finished the book. haaaaay! it made me look at our last supper, and it gives me goosebumps everytime i remember those said in the book. although it didnt shook my beliefs, i repeatedly told myself it is fiction. so there, thanks to Dan Brown.

i bought, J.D. Salinger's The Cather in the Rye. i was supposed to buy 11 minutes but National Bookstore, Robinson's Manila doesnt have them (which reminds me to visit their site for my Laking National card). Paulo Coleho's books are gone by the second.i've just read the first 2 pages of the book, and planning to read more tonight. i should have bought eleven minutes the same time i bought Da Vinci last December!

my christmas money is slowly blown by the wind...

btw, yesterday, when i bought the book, jog asked me about my National Bookstore points, i actually dont really pay much attention to that, knowing these kind of rewards promo take up too much time and money before you can really earn and get something out of it..(but hey! i believed in Starbucks planner promo, and i did get my planner) but to my surprise, i have P110.00!!! and if that's true, i could maybe just add 100+ if they would have 11 minutes na! yey!!

so there..

i havent posted in a long while na pala...

i will post again later, and share with you the best buys i love!

take care!

read this!!!!

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?
brought to you by

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

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm very thankful that i'm able to spend Christmas with my family and friends...

hope everyone will have a good one!

have a blessed christmas!

UPDATE

Oh well, it's been weeks since i last wrote...

we had our thesis proposal, and our teacher liked the "Friendster" idea. it will be easier since we will be giving the survey sa school lang, and puro sa net ang info.

i'll be having my Print Media OJT in People's Journal, and i, together with tonet was given the Police beat. Hassle lang to go to their office in Pier. Taxi lang alam kong papaunta dun. syet.

xmas shopping for my mom -done. my sis and i helped her, kasi she has work, and kami vacation na so, kami na lng shop for her. the bf helped us carry the bags and patiently came shopping with us, kahit super daming tao.

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

Jen
Nina
Pangga
Te Mhay (jog's sis)

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

long time no post

hello.

i've been busy and had no time to write.

so these are the things that happened to moi the last week of october and the past week...

i've finished my 60 hours of internship at ABS last October 27, but i still reported to work until friday of that week so, I've completed 72 hours of late night work, pressure and fun.

i was at work when everybody, including my boyfriend partied themselves as Halloween approached last October 29.

i've enrolled myself, borrowed my tita's Da Vinci Code, spent November 1 at Cavite with my titas and cousins, and gave myself a little break last friday when we went to makati with jog and our friend alain.

speaking of that party, i saw, for the first time, two of present crushes, Borgy Manotoc and Jay-R. *giddy* i was all giddy and acted like a FAN...tulo-laway kay Borgy, buti na lang Jog was patient and could stand my craziness.that's what boyfriends are for!!!hehe besides, he bribed me to come with him that night by "Sige ka, baka Borgy will be there na naman!"

so, when i saw borgy who was staying near the DJ's booth, i had to exchange places with jog so that i could see him. when we we're dancing, jog could tell that i had almost all of my attention to the Marcos lad. and at that time, all i could think of was, i'm happy i saw him and i still couldn't believe he's just 10 steps away... that was my star strucked experience..

MARKET!MARKET!

last night the three of us, my mom,sis and i went to the Fort to check out Market! Market!
it was such an experience. they have tiangge inside the mall! almost all the greenhills shops were also there. i saw a pair of jeans (for men), 350 lang!!!! i immediately called my bf, and asked him his size, kaya lang ayaw niya, dyahe daw sa mommy ko. so ayun, pag balik namain dun at wala na yun...bahala siya!!

i bought a skirt and a pink shirt both costed me 500, carry na di ba?.
so, i am definitely coming back!!!!

meron pa sila fruits and vegetables stalls, plus mga plants. it's really nice. im sure all the ladies found their new haven.

***i've tried the Palmolive shampoo, color violet, and it smells good!!! sobra, until now ha. and i found out from my bestfriend gian na the fragrance stays all day sa hair..but that i can prove tom pa.

die-SEL

i started my OJT last night at INSIDER. when i arrived at 6, they we're still preparing for Patrol, but Ms. Love toured me around the news group dept. She showed me where i would give the sequence guides and script and to whom i must give them. i was really nervous, kasi it's live and there's no room for mistakes. When the sequence guide or the tapes wouldn't be given to the respective person at a specific time I'M DEAD. my career is ova'!

As i wrote yesterday, they we're really nice. (Ms. Love and Mam Beth) Last night i met more of the staff, our Floor D Kuya Rudolf (he's cool), Ate Jake from the Graphics dept (he's hilarious), Ms. Ken PA din (super kulit), and Ms. Karen Davilla (really pretty and nice) and Mr. Erwin Tulfo (bait din and super funny).

Ms. Love also showed me around Studio 7, the control room, the Graphics dept and the TOC. She showed me the long and short cuts. I needed to be familiarized with the workplace kasi, i will be assigned to go all over the place and give them scripts,tapes and sequence guides. and i need all the luck to make it through without fail.

i was in the studio when we went on air, met the cameramen and the anchors. they we're all accomodating. Mr. Erwin Tulfo, (all the cameramen addressed him as Boss) was so funny. Sobra! (the title of this entry is because of what he said) Edmer (another intern, but it was his last day yesterday) was telling me it's fun to watch when they go on air kasi parang sitcom. and he was right.

Edmer was really nice to me. he showed me around and gave me points to remember. he gave me tips which i found very useful and he assured me that it would be fun just as long as i do my work.

Tonet my jowa was assigned to Ek Channel in Production. Actually most of us (from our school) was assigned in Production. Si Gaeity sa MTB, Jeline sa MYX (i wanted to be assigend there, but i'm happy sa news dept), Froi was also assigned sa NCAG (News and Current Affairs Group) but his show assignment was Special Assignment.

I haven't seen Kris, hope later i'll see her. Jericho din- para naman yung WHO DO YOU WANT TO MEET sa friendster ko matupad kahit isa. hehe

later!

karir!

i had my last day of orientation yesterday, and i was assigned in the News and Current Affairs Department of ABS CBN!!!! whooohoooooo! i met our Executive Producer Ms. Beth, and she was nice naman. i was expecting a very mataray EP kasi, and Ms. Love (who i think is the PA of the show) is very accomodating and she wanted me to start today na lang instead of last night. and i forgot to mention pala the show, it's "INSIDER" (yes, naman!)

i'm really excited and i'm expecting a lot of work. sana lang hindi ako mataranta and i would be focused on my work. i hope wala akong boo boo's later.
if there's a downer, but actually not really, i'll be working from 6pm to 12m! and that's QC.. buti na lang my dad offered to be my driver. hehe

at first all i wanted was to get in the internship program of ABS. that meant, any show would do. besides getting into their internship gives you a little edge over those who would apply for work to the station, in the future. but i'm really happy and really LUCKY to be assigned in the "INSIDER".

so there, i'm officially a student trainee of ABS CBN's INSIDER.

and as Ma'am GiGi said in our orientation, " ang ojt dito sa ABS kinakareer!"

sembreak,ojt,alicia keys and tv shows

hi! finals are over! i'm having my sembreak na!

well, before that, at the start of the week (monday) my boyfriend was really galit. as in, he would not answer my calls and would not reply to my texts! as in! it was my fault, and wednesday before my last test, i went all the way to alabang to talk to him and be make peace *hehe* so there, hindi niya ako matiis (yabang! ok na kasi kami) we're ok na!

KAPAMILYA

for my friends who know me very well, they know how much i wanted to have my internship in ABS.
lucky me, i'm having my orientation on tuesday and wednesday. so happy! pero my god ang transportation ko!!! 30 papunta and almost 40 pauwi!! hay naku! welcome quezon city talaga!

ALICIA KEYS

"If I Ain't Got You" A. Keys

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power yeah

Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things

Define what's within

I've been there before

But that life's a bore

So full of the superficial

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain

Promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love them

And in a world on a silver platter

And wondering what it means

No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you with me baby

Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me baby

oh well, i'll miss the alicia keys concert tommorow. i don't have money to buy tickets eh!
i tried winning the tickets in tv shows, who i can't believe gives away ticket just like that.

i'll just sing if i aint got you in my cd player na lang..

it would be so nice if jog and i could watch it. haaay! that's kinda our song...

not connected

our two phone lines we're disconnected for 3 days. and it was like i can't do anything without the phone...crazy i know but that's how i felt. there was no internet of course kaya sobrang booring!!!!!

one tree hill and the O.C

i was talking to gian last night, and i told her that even if a lot of people and i read everywhere that i should watch these shows, when i finally had time and watched it, i've realized i'm OLD. i know, that OA coz i'm only 21, but one tree hill is like, about highschool and O.C. is very much like dawson's creek in college and with a lot of money. i'm sorry for those who enjoy watching it, im not saying it's not good, it's just that, i feel it's not for me anymore.

i mean, even if i think chad michael murray is cute, even if i feel i have to see him every tuesday,i don't think i could spend an hour watching his show and just look at him and say "it's ok, he's cute naman eh"

speakin of tv shows, last night i was able to catch Simple Life 2, and although i know it's annoying how bratty and kind of self centered they are i enjoy watching it. sorry.

breast cancer awareness month

as i was blog hopping and reading one of my fav blogs, Ala posted that it's breast cancer awareness month this october. so there, i'm just trying to spread the word!

i watched Rio Diaz lifestory on Maalala mo kaya last night, and i just could not help but cry and admire her strength and faith. she's amazing and a real inspiration not only to cancer patients but also to us who are so blessed to be healthy and alive.

fully booked

i was lost. it's my first time to check out fully booked, coz everytime i go to rockwell, i'm with someone and kahiya naman if i'll drag them in, cause i know i'll take my time around the store, and i was right.

as in! the books i want to read are all there...

• the queer eye for the straight guy book
• five people you meet in heaven
• shopaholic series
• gossip girl (i know! i'm too old for that)
• about a boy
• satc
• the notebook
• bridget jones:the edge of reasoning (the movie will come out this november, and i don't think i can read the book before it's shown) **a little trivia, bridget jones and i have the same birthday!!!that's my claim to fame!hahaha
• COOKBOOKS -Nigella Lawson, Bobby Flay (crush ko kasi sya), Ming Tsai, Sara Moulton
• Kevin Aucoin make up book
• Manolo Blahnik!!!!!!!!!

as in sobra! i was lost and i loved it!

their paperback five people you meet in heaven is only 278..unlike sa national. eh kanina, i don't want to spend my money, kasi i'm actually saving it for something...so there, babalikan ko na lang.

anyways, i bought my lip and cheek tint na sa mimi's. hay salamat!i could sleep well na! hehehe

my bestfriend gian asked me about blogging, i hope she starts soon, para kahit papano, kahit pilit may magbabasa ng blogs ko!!!!! hehehe

later!

coming home

my dear boyfriend arrived lunch time today!

i had a day full of agenda, but when he texted when i was finishing my spagetti at Mc Do, i knew i had to cancel.

TO DO LIST:

- take make up quiz, who cares! finals na next week! who is she kidding?

-pass my e.p readings, i can do that tommorow.

-have chest x-ray, a reuqirement for ABS-CBN OJT (yes, they called,we just have to complete our requirements by tuesday next week!) i'll do it tommorow na lang.

-pass my script, i asked my friends to pass it for me, what are friends for?

those are the things i missed just to see my boyfriend! it was all worth it!!!!

he was tanned! gwapo!!!

we had early dinner at our favorite carinderia, and he had a lot of pasalubong, mostly food for my family, i got a coin purse and thats it. ah, barquillos pala! but Princess, ate half of it.

i'm really happy he's back home, hope he can rest well tonight and tom, kasi wala naman siya class.

last night, i'm officially a crazy girl. i finished my script at 3 a.m. i was dead tired, had back pains na. when i climbed myself to bed, got my cell, i thought of texting him, to say i just finished and i'm about to sleep. then while i was composing the message, and super tired, that's when i felt I MISS HIM and cried! i was used to talking to him after a hell day, before sleeping and last night i was dead tired and nobody's giving me the comfort he gives, even without me asking for it.

yah, i cried, only later to realize he's coming home today, and i only have to wait for hours na lang. imagine, i managed to be ok, calm, and kept myself busy since the day he left. i didn't cry, sometimes it hits me that he's malayo and all but i didn't cry. kagabi lang. weird!

so there, i'm really happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

later!

katam

i'm doing laundry as of this writing, jog called while i tonet and i we're window shopping, listing all the things we want for christmas and we will buy for christmas.

kasi, since july, we save P40 everyday including sundays, on december we are expecting to have 6k!!!so there, mayabang kami mag window shop.

im supposed to do my project, a script for my playwriting class. a final requirement for the subject, but i'm realy "tamad". umiral na naman Katam ko.hehe

instead im blog hopping, reading about other people's lives and making my own blog, blog-tiful. :D

there's this song on my mind...yung "all i want for christmas..." the song from love actually.

speaking of songs, i'm looking for Beyonce's album, dangerously in love, i'm planning to burn it and give my dear boyfriend a copy coz he's in love with beyonce..who wouldnt be?even i sometimes' caught by her hips swaying, bootylicious body! things you do for your significant other!

i also got the latest issue of 17 mag, Lindsay Lohan's on the cover! my mean girl!

just browsed through it on the way home, later ko na lng basahin, since i bought a light bulb na din for my desk...

finals are coming up next week..arrgh! still so tamad. hope ABS CBN calls na for our OJT or else we're screwed! baka RPN na lng kami, since most of our classmates are having their TV OJT there.

i'm playing neopets again.i'm trying to get a job and make my pet productive naman.

i'm out of words.

later,

The Word of the Day for September 27 is:

realia \ree-AL-ee-uh\ noun : objects or activities used to relate classroom teaching to the real life especially of peoples studied

Example sentence: The teacher asked the exchange student from Brazil to bring in photos, food items, and other realia to share with the class.

single for the moment

it's the second day of being "single" and besides the i have all the time, i miss my beau...

he called when they arrived in Bacolod, he was asking what i want for pasalubong, i kept sayng i just want him to come home safely and soon, just as i finish saying that, he sssssssshhhhh me, insisting i should tell him what i want to have.

even if he's away, he's still the sweetest bf a girl could ever have. like last night, at 10:30pm i was miraculously sleepy, then he texted and asked what i was doing and if im getting ready for bed. and so even if i was so sleepy, i replied then rembered i still have to do a script due on friday. then i passed out. the next thing i knew, i was awaken by his "missed call" and then i knew it was signal to call him, kaya lang, bigla nag-out of coverage area ang secretary niya, then i textd na lng, and he said he just wanted to say goodnight and he'd call na lng tom kasi badtri signal dun.

Jewelries

I went to our library kanina, i had to do one of the requirements before graduating, blah blah, so i want there. if there's one thing i like about our Library's Periodical Section, is that they have decent magazines like People Asia and MEGA. Everyone knows i love Magazines and so, this was the best time to catch up with MEGA Mag since i don't buy them regulary.

Lucy Torres-Gomez (who i admire so much, not only because he's married to my ultimate crush, but also because she's a devoted mother, a perfect definition of Beauty and Brains) was on front cover of MEGA's September issue. In her interview she mentioned how she grew up in Ormoc, and even as a child she adored jewelries. Jewelries that defined moments and has sentimental value. like a i-love-you ring given by her husband, heirloom engagement rings, 18th bday pendant, thanks-for-giving-me-a-child earrings.

i personally like heirlooms, at 21, this early my mom already gave me a cross pendant with rice pearls embedded on it, and 2 black pearls which could still be made into a pair of earrings or maybe a set. (we asked in Makati, how much it would cost and it's too pricey) i also still have my first necklace, although the pendant with the letter "K", but my sister lost it when it was her time to use it. (both our first names start with letter K)

and now that i'm thinking that it's really nice to pass on jewelry not only for its monetary value but more so for their sentimental value.and right now im doing a mental inventory of all the earrings and rings my mom lets us wear ....

one week vacation

hey!

my bf's leaving. actually he left this morning, he's going to bacolod, originally the plan was only for a week,then this morning he called saying it will be for a week. nyahayay!

he jokes and says: "pakabait ka ha, at enjoy ka sa 1 week na bakasyon mo!"

so here i am, alone, heehe. O.A. nman noh!

MOVIES!!

i watched the Terminal and Feng Shui. the terminal was kinda long pero its ok naman kasi it was not boring kaya lng ang tagal lng talaga. then, Feng Shui, it was the first time i screamed that hard! i mean tili to death talaga. Kris' acting was good in fairness and besides i like her. but compared to her acting in Hiram, its much better.

ex boyfriend

my ex bf marvin called last thursday, when i answered the phone and knew it was him, i felt i should talk to him, after all these months of not avoiding his calls, texts and emails.

when we broke up, marvin and i were friends, i got over him almost a year after we broke up pa. partly because i knew it was my fault i lost him and because of the hinayang factor because my mom adores him.

after him, jai came, marvin wanted to come back. at some point i was really annoyed with him kasi he was very persistent to the point that i felt he was disrespectful of jai and our relationship, that was the time i felt i can no longer be friends with him.

then now that im with jog, earlier this year, he did the same thing. super kulit, there was this time my bf read his txt, and with that i knew i can never be friends with him.ever.

but when he called last thursday,he was asking how i was and said "Kaye, may gf na ako" honestly i felt relieved more than anything. Kasi naman he's a good man, a great catch, and he deserves to be happy more than anyone.

i told him, i was irita during the rime that he kept on calling,text pa ng text and he apologized and he said he understands.

so there, our friendship is restored.

later!

have to cook dinner pa!

my boyfriend's new love

Last Friday, I got my Mango gift pack at Robinson’s Galleria with my boyfriend. (I won the Cosmopolitan MNG raffle contest) The package included their first signature fragrance, Mango (cut for a woman),Eau de Toilette 150 ml, lotion, and deo spray. It also included a shirt, with MNG logo. It made me giddy and made all the effort worth it.

Another reason why I was able to drag Jog all the way to Pasig was because he was also looking for new shoes.

This is the first time that I had a boyfriend as conscious as Jog is. (I don’t want to say vain!) He’s a metrosexual! He’s very particular with his clothes, his skin, his feet, and gladly we share the love for SHOES!

Just like any other girl, (haha! I’m comparing my bf to a girl!) we’ve been looking for that “perfect pair” for the past 2 weeks, we’ve gone from every mall, South Mall, Festival, Rob.Place Manila,Glorietta and lastly Rob Galleria.
And finally, we’ve found it! SALE pa!

It was brown, just the color we both wanted, and its name it TOBY. Cute noh! And when we were about to pay for it, as we were checking for damages…there it was some white mark on the left pair. He was heart broken. The sales lady was kind enough to tell us na, we could check out their outlet at Robinson’s Place Manila. And that kinda relieved us, kasi nman its near my school, I could check it out and buy it for him.

And so, right after my EP, I went straight to the mall together with tonet, hoping they have the design and a size 8 for moi boyfriend.

And as I was approaching Hush Puppies, nakita ko na! I immediately asked for a sized 8 the man who assisted us asked “Saan po yung magsusuot?” I answered, “ah wala eh, pero nasukat na naming yan sa Galleria, may damage lng kasi yan dun eh.”

I went home with his new shoes.

Today, he went here sa house and wore them. He kept on jumping! kasi nga daw light weight ung Hush Puppies. we took pictures pa! di ko ma-post kasi di ko pa upload from the cell. tom, or maybe later.

The Notebook

It’s one of my favorite novels by Nicholas Sparks. And I love the movie.

I watched it with Jog in SM Southmall, sabi pa nga nya, we should have watched it sa Alabang Town or Glorietta and spent 100+ pesos kasi the movie was worth it.

I cried when I read the book and as expected I cried watching it. Jog kept showing me his goose bumps when Noah said “it’s not yet over” and when Allie said “do you think that our love can make miracles?” super kinalibutan si Jog.

After the movie, he asked me if it was just like in the book, and we both kept saying their love is unbelievably true.

I’m glad he enjoyed and liked the movie. The last movie we saw kasi, nung Monday lang. Princess Diaries, he was bored. So buti nakabawi ako.

If you guys haven’t watched the movie, you wouldn’t regret watching it.

Tell me what I don’t like Mondays…

Oh well, during my 10 a.m. class our teacher we’re bursting with fruit flavor! Actually it was the opposite. Super galit talaga siya to the whole class. Kasi last Saturday, we used the broadcast studio and naiwan yung aircon na bukas for 2 days!!! Kanina lng na discover.

Sino naiwan nahuli sa studio? One of them was I. Tonet and Larcy were the ones who switched off the lights and well, they left the aircon. Kasi nman hindi nila alam mag patay noh and hindi nila alam na bukas pa because the lights we’re off na! Not that I’m siding with them, (of course I am) kaya lng meron nman kasi talagang naka-assign to do that, so it was not their responsibility/our responsibility.

Our president is a friend of ours (Froilan), pero kanina umaga, when our teacher was blaming my 2 friends larcy and tonet, I had to say something.

I felt it was Froilan’s responsibility being the president and having called that meeting. And he was actually not claiming any responsibility for what happened. He kept on looking for others to blame, when in fact dapat siya ang umako ng responsibilidad and in the first place adjourned the meeting and left the studio with us. Kasi hindi pa daw tpos yung meeting, but he left and so everybody thought tapos na. No officers we’re residing the meeting, nung umalis nga kami, nagulat pa kami na aalis na at kami na lng pala tao.

Well anyways, tonet and larcy talked to our teacher na, who is still very mad at all of us.

I made cheesecakes today! I have orders kasi sa office nila mama.

And while making those, I saw Bamboo sa Ok fine Whatever! He’s really cute, pero he’s losing weight. And he has nice legs; I saw it last week when Pipol featured rock bands.

And Star Movies were airing one of my favorite movies…Reality Bites. And because of that movie, my ideal guy was like Troy Dyer. (Ethan Hawke’s character)

Here are just few of my favorite lines from the movie:

Lelaina: I mean, these job interviews, Troy... The word “vivesection” a staggering understatement. I mean, can you define irony?
Troy:: Its when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning.
Lelaina: My God, where were you when I needed you today?

Lelaina: Troy, aren't you excited?
Troy: I'm bursting with fruit flavor.

Michael: Have I stepped over some line in the sands of coolness with you, because excuse me if somebody doesn't know the secret handshake with you.

Troy: There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake.

Troy: Did he dazzle you with his extensive knowledge of mineral water or was it his in-depth analysis of Marky Mark that finally reeled you in? I just would have liked to have been there to watch how you rationalized sleeping with a yuppie-head cheeseball on the first date.
Lelaina: He's not a yuppie.
Troy: He's the reason why Cliff's Notes were invented.

Lelaina:: Why are you acting like a jealous boyfriend all of a sudden?
Troy:: I... am not acting like anything. I am calmly reading.

Troy: There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Well, watched their episode last night. The guy was a great ice skater. He’s married; his wife is also an ice skater and is Italian. They look so beautiful together!

The guy’s clothing make over we’re all Armani, he was taught how to make raviolis, and you could really see he’s gladly doing this for his wife and that they really love each other.

After enjoying the show, I called up the boyfriend and wanted to tell him that I love him, but I couldn’t… nahihiya ako…ngayon pa!

But before we hanged up, I managed to say I love you, without sounding so cheesy and clingy and annoying. And I thought he liked it.

Ah! Love…

we became close late last school year, it was her last year kc she was graduating.
