Once

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more for that

And words fall through me
and always fool me
and I can't react

And games that never amount
to more than they're meant
will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly
eyes that know me
and I can't go back

Moods that take me
and erase me
And I 'm painted black

Well you have suffered enough
and warred with yourself
It's time that you won

A Mainstream Love Song for No One in Particular

Why is it easy for you to just
smile like that
and hard for me to recover
without damn cliches taking over
My heart at a still
It all feels surreal

REF:
I give up
I confess
It's too obvious in my blush
You are my forever crush

Why do I get stuck in this cycle
even if it's for something mundane
like hearing you
say my name
and once again I'm starting over
Getting over you

Repeat REF.

Tired of playing mind games
that turn out to be solitaire
Tired of always saying
It's better this way
All this to keep me sane
when essentially I am
just waiting
for you to want me again.

Writing Assignment No. 1 (keywords: leaf and childhood games)

I remember :
carefully plucking the finest gumamelas
and santan leaves,
mashing and crushing until juices flow,
adding a bit of soap and water
and stirring until it foams,
dipping the makeshift loop wholly into the solution
and then breathing life -

A bubble as it floats in the air
brings a sense of comfort and peace
though so much work for something
so fleeting and fragile.

And in my heart I wonder
as I wait for the inevitable
Why do we blow bubbles when we know
they're going to burst anyway?

As gumamelas bloom and wilt
and santan leaves fall
I realize that some things never change
I still play this childhood game
and I am reminded, as a familiar scene plays :

Of bags packed in the bedroom
and tears like solution residue
stains the floor -

A mark of
another love leaving
another bubble burst.

Singapore random photo #2

Our first day at Singapore was spent exploring City Hall. One of the most famous attractions located at City Hall is of course - the Merlion.

I <3 Chelsea Handler

I first saw her in Girls Behaving Badly and I was blown away by her strong yet hilarious personality. Then lately, I've been seeing her in all these E! Countdown Specials about kid stars, celebrity weddings and the like. Her comments are the ones that usually stand out and honestly, I just can't help but laugh out loud at her self-deprecating humor about being a whore and an alcoholic.

Now she has her own late night talk show on E! and she released a book entitled “My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands.” Heh. I wish I could get a copy of her book or see her show but alas the downside of not living in the US.. Thank goodness for youtube though because a lot of her hilarious clips/sketches are posted there. Her deadpan and brash delivery just cracks me up every time.

Even just reading about her quotable quotes makes me chuckle and even snort hehe. Here are some quotes that I found funny:

“I went out with a guy who once told me I didn’t need to drink to make myself more fun to be around. I told him, ‘I’m drinking so that you’re more fun to be around.’

She also did a hilarious rant about her friends and their babies. “My friend keeps saying its so hard to lose this baby weight. I’m like, your baby is seven. You’re just fat.”

"Rumer Willis was having a great time at the opening of a club when her twin walked in, also known as her dad, Bruce Willis. How embarrassing for her, she's out with her friends and they're like, 'Umm, Rumer, I think your dad put something in my drink.' "

"Nicole Richie's baby shower is going to be this Sunday at 12:30 in the afternoon. It should be a very special event—many of these people are going to be seeing each other for the first time in broad daylight."

"A federal grand jury is investigating allegations that David Copperfield raped, assaulted and threatened a woman he took to his private island in the Bahamas in July. What happened to the good old days when a guy would just saw you in half?"

The incident that is most often mentioned in her book took place in Cabo San Lucas and involved a midget, a lot of tequila, a blackout and waking up to the pitter-patter of little feet. "I was so confused,” Handler writes, "At first I thought, Oh great, I had a baby...”

heh. I so love her :)

a view of singapore

So last weekend, ate and i went to the very cosmopolitan Singapore! The whole trip was so much fun particularly since it was the first time we traveled to a different country without parental supervision. (Wow I feel so grown-up!) It was pretty exciting and fairly easy to navigate around singapore via MRT or just walking.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for the rest of the pics to be uploaded so I'll hold off on my travel diary/musings and all that stuff.

As a teaser though, here's a pic of us at Sentosa:
"sana hindi mahulog tsinelas ko."

toilet talk

Whenever I have to do number 2 in someone else's place, I always make sure to turn the faucet on so the running water would mask any embarrassing sounds - an unfortunate consequence once constipation ends. (Btw, I can't believe i am writing this post). So imagine my happiness when I saw this at Geekologie.com -

hope this doesn't get too annoying though like those musical b-day cards

Hmm I want one. for my friends' houses though, not mine. I'm not toilet shy when it comes to my own bowl. Although, it would be kinda cool to listen to some music while on the toilet.

While some dump and go, I like to pass the time in the toilet. Y'know think about stuff, read books, write papers, plan events.. I can no longer count the number of ideas borne out of my toilet time. It's relaxing for me. Just gives me that certain release.. (and not just that kind of release) Toilet time is indeed when all the creative juices come out. (Oh fun with puns)

Some people find this habit of mine, kind of weird. Every time I'm about to go, people automatically assume that I will take a looong time. They're right, by the way.


p.s. Didn't Freud say something about this?

Stardust

A Quick Review
The movie seemed like a mixture of all the latest fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings, Narnia and the like. The movie has got everything in it. It's got a love story, a parent-child reunion, a scene reminiscent of Titanic, some sword action, some gayness, some Sixth Sense type of plot.. seriously everything! You name it, it's got it! A blend of comedy, romance, action, horror, suspense.. It's definitely an interesting and entertaining movie. Star-studded cast. Notable performances by Charlie Cox (who plays the protaganist Tristan Thorne) and Michelle Pfeiffer who plays evil b*tch (whoops I meant witch) to the hilt! There were some meh moments too like every time Claire Danes is on the screen. To be playing a star, she doesn't shine much in the movie. Claire Danes aside, it's still a must-see movie!


The Book
The movie was based on Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name. While I've read the book and loved it, I was glad that the movie wasn't too faithful to the book. If ever, the movie ending would have been anti-climactic. Interesting trivia about the book though.. One of the characters in the book (although the character wasn't featured in the movie) was based on Tori Amos.


Favorite Scene
While scenes featuring Michelle Pfeiffer as well as scenes with the dead Stormhold brothers were definitely amusing, my absolute favorite scene goes to Tristran Thorn's transformation from this:

ho-hum.


to THIS:

whoa.

and THIS!!!

Be still my beating heart.

Honestly, my jaw literally just dropped to the floor!!! (Probably my panties too..) I couldn't stop smiling and nudging and reminding my sister like every 5 minutes on how swoon worthy he is. Oh the hotness that is Tristran Thorne. Definitely eye candy.

Hands down, Best. Makeover. Ever.

i can't believe it's not (-insert fatty food here-)!

I've always been adventurous when it comes to food. I am really not picky. By not picky, i do not mean i can stomach eating Fear Factor style. i do not eat insects,lizards and the like. I do not care if it's a delicacy in some province or country. That's why I will never ever win Fear Factor, unless of course it's our own balut. pshhh bring it on!!!

balut?!? sisiw lang yan.

Wow I easily get off tangent. Anyway, lately I've been doing some cooking of my own. (Please pakibaba ang mga kilay.)
i cook. seriously.

I've been surfing the net for some interesting yet healthy recipes and these past few days I have tried making them and experimented a bit. (A bum's life!) The dishes that I made are healthy alternatives to some staple dishes. For example:

* mashed potato = I used cauliflower instead of potato. Just mash it in food processor with some low-fat milk, garlic, pepper, salt and paprika. Then bake it in an oven.

* pasta = zucchini and eggplant pomodoro. Easy to make, just use vegetables instead of pasta. Then make the sauce out of tomato puree, italian seasoning, mushrooms, garlic and onions. Salt and pepper to taste.

* burger = veggie burger/mushroom burger. Instead of beef, make patties out of chickpeas/beans, carrots, onion, bell pepper, oatmeal, some ketchup and spices.

* pizza = Make pizza crust out of oatmeal, chickpeas (aka garbanzos) and some italian seasoning. Really delicious! Then just choose whatever toppings you like: green bell peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, garlic, cheese etc

* muffin/bread = with just white beans, baking powder, olive oil, salt, sugar, and egg white, you can make something that tastes like bread without using flour!

* fries/sweet potato fries = who knew that squash can serve as fries? Just slice it up like fries then bake it in an oven with some salt. Really delicious, tastes like sweet potato!

* sweets/ice cream = put frozen fruits (like banana) in blender with some milk and vanilla. Consistency like ice cream. Frozen grapes can satisfy your sweet tooth too!

* pancakes = try making batter out of oatmeal, baking powder, milk, egg whites, cinnamon and nutmeg.

I am honestly having soo much fun cooking and trying these interesting recipes. However, it's kinda embarrassing that while I can make the healthy alternative, I don't even know how to make its counterpart. Oh well.

New look

i recently had a haircut. i told the stylist in my broken bahasa that i just wanted a trim and that i wanted to fix my bangs because they've already grown so long.
one snip is all it takes

anyway as i settled myself on the chair listening to my ipod, the stylist immediately got her scissors and chopped like half my bangs off! and i just stood there - in shock.
what the f%*&?!? my lovely haairr!!!

wow. i mean, usually the stylist would consult you first before they chop something off! and honestly i couldn't do anything. i was frozen in my chair, mourning for my precious locks of hair now strewn across the floor, and wincing at the sight of my now humongous forehead.

if you're thinking that i'm whining about something trivial.. then you're probably a guy. waahh my hair!!! my f%&*& hair!!! bad trip. i guess i have no choice but to just work with what i have. Ika nga ni Tyra sa ANTM -"Model through it!" So yeah. that's what I will do. Keep thinking positive thoughts and well.. just stay away from mirrors.

And if you're wondering, i did tip the stylist (albeit grudgingly). Positive thoughts. Deep breaths. Whew.

Anyway, since we're on the topic of new looks.. My blog has a new look!!! (in case you hadn't noticed) Fyi: Kit was the one who designed my original fancy blog template with my emo pic. And I will forever be grateful to him! :) However, just felt like I needed to change it (and also to get rid of that emo pic hehe). And I don't want to create a new blog because I seldom post anyway. So there. I went for a simpler look and just used one of the templates provided in blogspot.

not this template obviously..
but hey look ~ a blog within a blog!

Anyway, the problem is i forgot how to incorporate the links to my other friends' blogs.. although I'm not sure if they are even updating their blogs anymore. Wow flashback!~~ There was a time when blogs were my means of getting recaps (and pics) on past org events, my way of being in everyone's business (chizmiz!), plus getting fun and interesting tests like what kind of a kisser are you? or who is your celebrity look-alike?... Hmm the good ol' days. But yeah i for one understand (being a lazy blogger myself) that sometimes we're just too busy and have no time or that we have so much going on that we can't broadcast anyway or that there's really nothing to say. Btw, in case you're wondering.. Romantic and Renee Zellwegger.

of Gap, funny couples and 6 degrees of separation

i'm not a fan of GAP (save for GAP dream i guess) because it's expensive and it's just basic stuff. Moreover, why spend for it when you can get cheap export overruns?!? heh. But i digress. Anyway, I came across GAP ads that feature my favorite funny couple: Will Arnett and Amy Poehler!!!:D

Wow they are just so cute together! Will is most famous for playing Gob Bluth in one of the funniest TV shows ever, Arrested Development. I still can't believe they canceled the show! COME ON! hehe. I really miss Gob's magic tricks, his chicken dance and listening to Final Countdown :(
While you might recognize Amy Poehler from Saturday Night Live (I love her in the Weekend Update sketch especially with Tina Fey!), she also appeared in Arrested Development! as Gob's seal trainer/ex-wife!! Makes me smile just thinking about that laugh out loud episode :) The hilarious Amy also starred in Mean Girls and Shrek 3.

This funny couple recently starred in Blades of Glory, playing a brother-sister Olympic skating duo that seem a little too into each other heh. The movie is just hilarious! I especially love their skate scenes and their evilness.

Interesting trivia and segue: Blades of Glory also features another funny girl Jenna Fischer who plays Pam in The Office (the wittiest show ever!!). Pam is 1/2 of another cute on-screen couple - Jim and Pam! Jim is played by the hotness that is John Krasinski, who incidentally has his own adorable GAP ad..
Awww I love how he mugs at the camera.

Honestly, I don't know how six degrees of separation works.. But isn't it kinda amusing how a bunch of random stuff connect and come full circle? In this case, Gap ads and funny couples and hilarious TV shows..hmm.. Anyway, no need to ponder on this as my real objective in this post is really to just stare at adorable pictures :)

my new obsessions

With the departure of Friends and the cancellation of Arrested Development, I thought that I would never again find shows that would make me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. Then come "The Office" starring Steve Carell of 40-year old virgin fame and Ugly Betty which stars America Ferrera (Now and Then? Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?). These feel good shows just make my day. I have watched the DVDs like 3 times already and I'm just eagerly awaiting the new batch of DVDs..



Anyway, the things i love about The Office
1) Steve Carell as Michael Scott - when one thinks about what his character does/says, its logical to be annoyed or even hate him but in reality you cant because he's just so funny!


2) Jim Halpert - Hay. I especially love when he mugs at the camera, NR look. what a face
3) Jim Halpert's pranks - putting Dwight's stuff in the vending machine for him to buy one by one, telling Dwight that gaydar is an actual product/instrument, and sooo much more. Walang tatalo sa mga pranks niya halatang bored sa office.



4) Jim and Pam - office romance that's sweet and genuine.. kakakilig ang mga secret glances hahaha
5) the writing/the story - brilliant, witty and engaging


The things I love about Ugly Betty

1) fashion - the show is like Devil wears prada meets Will and Grace meets Desperate Housewives. I love Amanda's clothes and Wilhemina's style classy and clean/neat.


2) Amanda and Marc - they're like Karen and Jack but bitchier and hotter hahaha. I love the way Amanda binge eats and Marc gets asthma attacks when they're nervous about something. I love their one-liners and their campiness.

3) the one-liners -

















- "Have you been smoking one of your ponchos?" Amanda to Betty
- "Happy Halloween!" Marc wearing Betty's Guadalajara poncho as his
costume



4) Justin - I love this little gay boy, how he loves Martha Stewart, musicals and Ralph lauren light blue vests. Hahaha. When his dad gives him a jock strap to get him into sports, he's delighted as he mistakes it for a Phantom of the Opera mask.

5) the writing, the story, the campiness - unpredictable show, so many wtf??? twists in the story, i love how they make the "contrabidas" more human and vulnerable.


It's interesting to note that The Office and Ugly Betty are not "original" shows in the sense that they are just American versions. The Office is originally from the UK and Ugly Betty is as we all know from Betty la fea, a Colombian soap opera. But nevertheless, i like the American versions more than the original ones. hehe.

hindi mashado halatang obsesd ako ah. haha. pero promis sobrang benta talaga.

She also recommended places to visit. I have only been to Aksara (bookstore/cafe) pero wala pa rin tatalo sa Kopi!

7) went to a housewarming party ng German couple (na friend lang ng friend namin) where my conversation and people skills were put to the test.

8) went dancing at Blowfish, a popular club daw in Jakarta. mejo pricey though around 80,000 rupiah inclusive of 1 drink (thats P480!). at mejo strict sila sa dresscode. ang weird may mga kinky dancers pa.

9) got harassed by 2 %#$*@#% policemen. they got my phone.

10) missing kopi, kaya toast, blackpencil, lgv, katipunan, ateneo, galera and most especially the Kopi Gang.

so yun. that's my life in jakarta. so far.

this *#&^(*$&$* post

Why can’t I have both?

I feel like I’m going to combust. How can I possibly explain the agony I’m feeling right now? How can I possibly appease this heavy feeling in my chest? How can I possibly make all THIS PAIN disappear? How can I possibly pack my things when I can’t stop crying?

Please somebody tell me what to do! Please just somebody make it all better. Why can’t things be simpler? Why can’t things go back to the way it used to be? When will THIS stop because THIS just fuckin hurts.

Déjà vu.

Everything’s sinking in.

Whatever decision I make, I just end up crying. Why can’t I stop crying? I just have no fuckin clue what to do. Why am I always so SAD? How can I stop THIS?

I feel like I’ve already been damaged the first time, a chip off my shoulder. And I’ve been sensitive ever since. Whenever it’s brought up, I get this heavy feeling and my eyes get watery. And I’ve been TRYING to make it all better. And now, what I’m feeling right now just feels so familiar. Like a band-aid was ripped out, leaving this pain exposed. Again. Flesh wound.

ENOUGH.

Enough NOW.

Forever Young

let's dance in style
let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the sky
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not

let us die young or let us live forever
dont have the power but we never say never
sitting in the sandpit
life is a short trip
music's for the sad man

can you imagine when this race is run
turn our golden faces into the sun
praisin our leaders, getting in tune
the music's played by the mad men

forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever

some like water and some are like the heat,
some are melodies, some are the beat,
sooner or later they'll all be gone,
why don't they stay out

it's hard to get on without a cause,
i don't want to perish like a fading voice,
youth is like diamonds in the sun,
diamonds are forever

so many adventures couldn't happen today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams swinging out of the blue
left to come true

forever young, i want to be forever young,
do you really want to live forever
forever, forever

Rockstar

I absolutely love Rockstar Supernova! Bad trip lang kasi I don't usually catch it sa star world.. I just watch it on youtube. Pero grabe mas magaling ngayon kesa rockstar inxs especially yung mga girls. rocker chicks! grabe ang galing. im so inspired.

hay dream ko tlga yun. hehe. anyway, i love Dilana and Storm Large. For Dilana, unforgettable yung "Lithium", "Ring of Fire" and "Zombie". For Storm, "Anything, Anything", "Pinball Wizard" and "Changes". Wow. yun lang talaga. Wow din si Ryan Star when he sang "Losing my Religion". Grabe nagka-goosebumps ako dun. Rockstar Supernova: new obsession.

Dog Paddle

Master expects me
to wag my tail
and I do,
with my tongue out.
Heed to every command -
Fetch.
Sit.
Roll over.
This dog eat dog world
I find myself in,
trying to keep my head
above the water.
Paddling furiously to
please the Master.
Waiting for someone to
throw me a bone.

Torn

I feel a lot of things right now. I feel sick, tired, frustrated, lonely. I feel like I’m gonna break down anytime soon.

Everything is sinking now. And I can’t help but cry. I feel so ashamed, so confused. I don’t understand myself. I don’t know what to do with my life.

The past few weeks, I’ve been holding everything back. And when they finally left, I just can’t stop crying. Now, every time someone asks me the dreaded question, it triggers some emotions held back. And I’m just a mess.

Last night, Papa came home. When he called me and I heard his voice, I just burst into tears. And I just can’t help it. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I wasn’t like this before. I was never this emotional. Maybe I just need to let this all out. Or maybe, and this is difficult to admit - I made the wrong decision.

I don’t know what to do. I really don’t want to hurt anybody. I really don’t want to be a hassle. So I guess I should just wait it out. Wait and see where this experience will take me. But, a part of me feels that I should just go and leave, join them. However, I also don’t want to leave the people who have become so important to me. I’m sure gonna miss all the road trips, Kopi Rotis, kuwentuhan, everything.

I imagine that my life there would comprise of just staying at home. And I know I don’t want to do just that. Or maybe I could find work. I also don’t know anyone there. All my close friends are here. I know I’ll miss a lot when I leave.

What I hate about leaving, aside from the fact that I’ll extremely miss all of my friends, is that I will still have the same memories of them - our group of friends. Meanwhile, they move on with their lives, have new friends, have their own group thing, and it will seem like I don’t even exist anymore. I don’t want to be left out. I’m sure there would be promises to keep in touch but after a time, this will all be forgotten. And when I come back, everyone’s changed. And I will feel like I don’t even know them anymore. And I’m sure they will feel the same about me. We will just fool ourselves since after all, I was once their friend. But at the back of our minds, we know that we don’t have anything in common anymore. We remain friends out of nostalgia. But I don’t know. Maybe this won’t happen again.

What adds to this confusion is work. I’m not sure anymore if this is indeed the right job for me. I feel so tired. I love the people I work with and I do enjoy myself. But at the back of my mind, I feel that this isn’t for me.

Someone told me that my boss noticed that I’m not my usual bubbly self, that I look so down. Meanwhile, a friend told me that I look depressed. And she feels helpless. The sad thing is - I feel helpless too.

I’m so torn.

I don’t have any answers. I don’t know what to do. I cry alone.

dead stars syndrome

usually kapag matagal mo nang hindi nakikita yung mga tao, puro maganda yung mga naalala mo. all the good times. pero usually din when you finally get to see them, parang you forget why you missed them in the first place. parang masyado mo lang na-hype sila. haha ang sama pakinggan nun ah. "dead stars syndrome" ika nga. pero iba sa inyo, sobrang nag-eenjoy ako kasama kayo. worth the hype. i'm so lucky to have all of you as my friends! i miss all of you sobra. emo mode na ito. dapat talaga once a week, magkakasama tayo. hopefully din, i get to drop by sa mvp. i love you all sobra. emo.

anyway, kamusta naman ako? im having fun naman sa work kasi i get to wear anything i want. haha. tapos i have great bosses, makulit na officemates and friendly clients. this was what i wanted to do ever since - to work in an agency. sobrang enjoy pumunta sa mga shoots. ang dami pang pagkain haha.
pero i'm still getting used to this work thing. minsan parang gusto ko lang hindi pumasok pag naiisip ko na this will be my daily routine from now on. 730 gumigising to get to work at 9am tapos i leave the office at around 8pm. alam ko.. 8pm? ang workaholic ko na talaga. pero i can't help it. gusto ko tlga maayos. hindi ko talaga maiwanan kung alam ko na may deadline o kaya may pwede pa akong gawin. hay puyat na nga ako palagi and my eye bags are horrible. sumasakit na ulo ko madalas. hehe pero just wanted to do my best and want to prove myself. hmm ang dami ko pang hindi nagagwa na gusto kong gawin sa work like pano mag ayos kapag trimedia campaign, tapos hindi pa ako nakakayos ng tv commercial. hehe.

pero ang dami ko pang gusto gawin sa buhay ko... like
1) work in an airline (para i get to travel pero ayoko maging stewardess though)
2) work in a hotel (want to try living in a hotel)
3) work for United Nations
4) work for a TV station
5) work abroad especially in Hollywood/Paris/Egypt/New York
6) be a rockstar (haha okay okay mejo malabo na ito)
7) star in a play (acting class hangover)

reality sinks in..

linoloko ko lang ata ang sarili ko. eto na naman late reaction na naman ako. feeling ko kaya ko. siguro matututo ako. wala namang masama kung i-try ko lang. pero shet reality is sinking na. iiwan na nila ako. takte. hindi ko ata kaya. etong isyu lang sa aming "unfriendly" neighbor, hindi ko na kaya nang wala ang ate ko o kaya si igi. shet mamimiss ko sila. nahihiya akong sabihin. takte. hindi kasi ako mushy. bakit ba ang late reaction ko palagi?!?!?! kagabi, nung nagtotooth brush ako, may naririnig ako na wak-wak... &*$@&^($&) hehe tapos siyempre takbo ako kay ate. pag tingin ko haha nandun din si igi.. tapos ang kulit namin. narinig rin niya yung mga kakaibang sounds. so habang pinapatay namin ang ilaw, para kaming tag team. ill watch your back, you watch mine! hehe. hay. mamimiss ko talaga sila. pati siyempre si mama at si papa. silang lahat! bad trip. kelangan strong front palagi kahit na deep inside, sumasabog nako dahil alam kong mamimiss ko sila at kelangan ko sila.

kakaibang experience din siguro ang mawalay sa pamilya. sorry baka isipin niyo na ang hina ko naman eh marami namang taga probinsya na iniwan ang pamilya pansamantala para mag-aral dito sa manila. pero ewan ko iba kasi.. sila ang aalis tapos ako ang maiiwan. o rather nagpaiwan. kasi dati silang kasama ko sa bahay na ito, tapos aalis sila. buti nalang makakasama ko si kim. shet reality sinks in. independent kuno pero shet kaya ko ba na magcommute araw-araw papuntang makati at umuwi sa bahay ng super late nang mag-isa. kaya ko bang i-handle ang household, ang mga bills etc. im growing up... siguro okay nga na experience to. alam kong mahihirapan ako at matututo ako to be independent. pero ang takot ko lang, na sa huli marerealize ko na hindi pala worth it ang lahat ng ito. hmm cguro it's too early to say di ba.. subukan ko nalang siguro muna. yun lang. natatakot ako. sobra.

----------
naalala ko lang nung nag-retreat ako dati. tapos mag-isa ako sa kwarto. 2 araw akong hindi nakakatulog at takot na takot. kung anong naiimagine. ayoko talagang matulog nun kasi sobrang nababaliw na talaga ako. tapos nung isang gabi, after ng isang magandang confession, ang dami kong narerealize tungkol sa Diyos. naramdaman ko na mahal niya ako. dati alam ko lang.. pero ngayon, naramdaman ko talaga. iyak ako ng iyak. tapos nung natulog ako nung gabi na yun, feeling ko yakap niya ako. shet sounds cliche noh. pero seryoso para akong may shield nung gabi na yun at sa mga susunod pa na gabi. parang dun sa harry potter - hindi siya nasaktan ni voldemort dahil he was protected ng selfless love ng mother niya. (siyempre nag reference pa eh). yun. wish i could feel that now.

Wala lang Benta movies have lately been my obsession. Although there was a time when I was obsessed with art films, kudos to Fr. Nick and the hotness Gael Garcia Bernal. Hehe. Pero ngayon yung mga mindless flicks na! Wow at parang mejo nagregress ako ah. How can you spot a Benta movie? Yun yung tipong maluha-luha ka na sa kakatawa. Yung tipong kinakabag ka na. Yung tipong hindi mo makalimutan kahit naka-ilang araw na ang nakalilipas. Natatawa ka pa nga MAG-ISA kapag naalala mo ang isang specific scene. Pwedeng isang WTF na sitwasyon, isang solid na delivery, isang What a face!.. Maraming variations. Pero please ayoko ng Pinoy slapstick ah.

Tapos sa Ako legal wife, with the Bisaya accent na trying hard to be sosyal! Shet kabag. Tapos dito naman sa Manay Po, ANO BA?!?! Mayroon na naman siyang quirk (hint: thicret thana pero at leath thana mahulaan niyo) at syempre What a face moments.

Benta din si John Prats. Ang kulit ng mga first scenes kung saan ipinapakita ang kanyang mga achievements. At feel na feel ang kanyang pagtakbo! Sige John takbo pa! Hay kahit bakla ka John, ang hotness mo! hehe. Benta din ang mga hirits ni IC Mendoza. Go Team tlga. HAHAHAHA Ang galing ng punchlines! Benta din si Giselle Sanchez! Benta din yung what a face na maid na sosyal! Benta din si Christian Vasquez and his macho body. Hay kabag ulit. Hay basta i recommend na panuorin ng lahat ng gusto matawa. bawal ang KJ!

Hmm which got me thinking.. Baka may mga benta movies kayong alam?!?!?!.. Please add to my list sa mga must-see benta movies. bawal ang deeper meaning of life dito sorry. Gusto ko lang tumawa at kabagin.

so much has happened..

well so much has happened this past week.. some surreal hehe albeit memorable haha. o well for starters, the past week i've always had this irrepresible desire to go out with friends. maybe being a couch potato has finally caught up with me. hehe o well tapos meron pang nangyaring sobrang surprising... binitin daw hehe.

DINNER at TOSH, hang-out at KOPI ROTI
Okay i must admit I am a Kopi Roti Addict! I think may Kopi with Milk and Kaya toast remnants na sa aking blood stream hehe labo. anyway, sobrang spontaneous talaga. I just texted people that same morning if they wanted to go out for dinner and hang out at Kopi Roti afterwards. Ang nandun sa TOSH: ako, michelle, jason and nanan. So in other words nagdouble date kami sa TOSH. Si Jason at Nanan, tapos ako at si Michelle. hahaha kala niyo may issue na noh? hahahahaha. WAIT TOSH ba sabi mo?!?!? So inassume niyo na kinain namin ay chicken piccata noh?!?! HINDI! Hindi kaming lahat. hehe si Nante nagveggie lasagna tapos si jason ata fettucine something. pero siyempre ako at si michelle chicken piccata. damn cheenee!! hehehe.
Tapos punta kaming Kopi Roti kung saan laugh trip sobra. Tapos dumami rin kami. Sumama na kasi sina Cheenee, Kia & Benj or "Benki" for short. hahaha. Ang masasabi ko lang sobrang SABAW! As in soup. hehe. at "Huh-Huh-Huh-Huh-Huh, Huh-Huh-Huh-Huh.. with matching wild gyrations" (Beep ng Pussycat Dolls hehe) sobrang LSS kasi haha. Tapos after sabaw moments, we went to Nante's place to drink and reminisce. hehe coolness.

SUBIC (ulit)
One Monday morning, three gorgeous ladies namely Nikki, Aja and Bea went to Subic to soak up the sun and swim in the waters of Camayan Beach. Hehe. Anyway, muntikan na kami hindi papasukin dahil may corporate thing ulit, pero pinagbigyan pa rin kasi tatlo lang kami. plus gorgeous pa. hehe. So we donned our hot bikinis (feeling) and had vanity shots! siyempre haha. tapos ang saya kasi may parang floating raft na pwede niyong tuntungan. hehe nandun yun maraming fish. maganda yun beach kasi clear yung water tapos fine yung sand. Fine? parang kami yun ah. hehe. Anyway, we ate lunch there (mejo pricey though) tapos we explored the place. may part sa malayo na mabato na tapos maraming lush vegetation. Nagbonding kaming magpipinsan about life and loves. nyeks. hehe. basta ang saya tapos sulit. we left the beach at around 430pm, sun-kissed, and me with mango ice cream in hand. yum!

ROAD TRIP
It all started with a YM message. It was around 10pm and I had a craving for Kopi Roti. 30 minutes later, I find myself at Kopi Roti with Michelle and Benki (Benj+Kia in case you forgot). After our usual Kopi Roti dose, nagroad trip kami sa Roxas Boulevard armed with Welchs, hopia, and chocolate cake! hahaha. Super daming tao sa Roxas Boulevard at mejo hmm scary ang crowd ng konti hehe. Buti nalang nandun si Benj to protect us haha. After a "leisurely" walk, we opted to go back home. Kaya lang we got lost hehe mejo paikot-ikot kami and had an unfortunate incident. We turned left somewhere na bawal mag-left. Tapos nahuli kami ng pulis. Grabe ang scary. Dun sa headquarters, Sobrang nagmaakawa kaming apat dun sa pulis. In fairness. mukha namang honest ang pulis. Basta yun todo-emote at todo-makaawa para lang hindi makuha ang drivers license. Sinabi namin na hindi na kami magpapakita doon ever! hehe nawawala lang talaga kami. Tapos yun after a looong time, pinagbigyan din kami. I love you mamang pulis!!! Tapos yun binigyan niya kami ng directions para makauwi kami. Sobrang relief talaga nung makarating kami ng Katipunan. Pero siyempre di muna kami umuwi, naghangout muna kami sa Prince David para naman di masyang ang WElchs, hopia at choco cake. hehe. tapos masya kasi paweirduhan kami ng sayaw. hehe. ginagaya namin yung mga KOreans sa Blue Onion hehe. Saya. We went home na around 330am.

Working Girl
the HR from Black Pencil called me on Tuesday to tell me na I would be starting work... THE NEXT DAY! Pwede pala yun! Hehe. So mejo nataranta ako.. hehe wala pa akong damit! wala pa akong 1x1 pic. So buti na lang sinamahan ako ni MIchelle sa MetroEast. Grabe what a bargain! Sobra Ang Saya 50% off, 25% off, 10% off yung mga nabili ko!! gRabe.. ANg galing. I was able to buy 3 slacks, 1 bolero, 1 top, 2 pumps, 1 perfume yung Benneton Pink (bango!), 1 underwear, tapos lipstick for tantanatanatanan.. 5 thou! hehe ang galing swerte talaga that day! ang d lang swerte ay ang 1x1 pic ko dahil mukha akong nognog na lalake. huhuhuhuhuh. KAmusta naman ang work? Okay naman. Super bait ang mga tao. Black Pencil pala is an ad agency na affiliated with Leo Burnett (mejo same ng office). Kaya Black Pencil ang tawag dahil si Leo Burnett known to use black pencils in his creative stuff. So yun kaya daw may Black Pencil dahil conflict ang Sun cellular sa Touch MObile na hinahawakan ng LEo Burnett. Kaya yun. May Black Pencil din sa ibang countries. My office is at Enterprise Center. Tapos im an associate account executive. Whew. Tapos ang saya kasi pwede kami mag-jeans! hehe. Wala lang. So yun mejo biglaan ang work kaya hindi ako nakakasama sa mga gimiks at siguro hindi na makakasama pa kung weekday. huhuhuhuhu. hehehe.

i am now addicted to making shakes. yesterday, i made choco shake with hersheys choco syrup complete with bendable straw! and then this morning, i made chocobanana shake! yummy! i can't wait to make more shakes and make more concoctions! when we went to bora last holy week, we ordered shakes from jonah's fruit shakes and i got mochabanana shake pero sobrang ang lapot niya na hindi ko mainom sa straw hehe. tapos ang laki pa ng baso so mejo shake overload na tipong ma-bbrain freeze nako. hehe. basta i like the shakes that i make. haha brat.

subic baybeh!

Okay here's a mejo detailed recap of what happened sa first ever PPCIL road trip!

We originally planned to go to Mr. Boy Aguila's house for 3 days, 2 nights.. kaya lang at the last minute nadala pala ng maintenance man yung key sa house. so mejo me and michelle were looking frantically for a place to stay in subic. siyempre wala kaming mahanap dahil the following day na ang trip so we decided to make it a day tour na lang. our destination? camayan beach, subic!

April 22, 2006 (saturday)
We were supposed to meet at 7am at Xavier Hall but some of us (ahem Benj, Kia, Joyce and Mike hahaha) were late! hahaha peace. Anyway, we left for subic at around 8am-ish i think. mejo sinabi na ni aligs yung mga sumama sa subic pero dahil makulit ako uulitin ko hehe:

driver: Kuya Robert
shotgun: Bea, Michelle, Nanan (yes siksikan ang aming mga pwet sa starex)
1st row: cheenee, kia, benj, mike and joyce
2nd row: darwin, aligs, jason, arjay

Sa loob ng starex anong nangyari? well secret!!! haha joke lang. siyempre prayer muna led by the new sflit head benj! hehe tapos may tawanan, vanity shots, pakikinig sa walang kamatayang Papa cologne at Unpredictable, pagcheck out ng mga billboards, kantahan, sayawan, hiritan, KASABAWAN (lalong lalo na yung mga nasa likod!), pagcheck out ng mga monkeys or monkey eating eagle eating monkey labo, mga denials sa kung sino talaga nakakakilala kay Peter North (who plays a lot of tennis and does a little judo hehe), at pagmanhid ng aming mga pwet dahil sa siksikan kami sa starex na ito.

After the very looong drive, we arrived at Camayan beach! Hehe kaya lang tinaboy kami!! huhuhuh dahil puno na daw sila. So we went back into the van (loser hehe) buti na lang nanan and michelle noticed a sign on the way to camayan: NABASAN BEACH. So we went there and its much cheaper kasi its only P75 compared to the P200 na Camayan. Although hindi ganun kawow-ness ang beach (although mas maganda cia sa picture!), itll do for us 12 na sabik na sabik na magbeach at siyempre to get out of the cramped van.

We paid P150 for a table.. buti na lang kasi it was sooo hot. Hindi lang yung sand/temperature yung hot.. siyempre pati kami. hehe nice segue. anyway, masaya to swim and bond sa water. aligs and I (with my trusty goggles!) swam all the way to the rope (basta yung partition sa beach). Tapos major tawanan lang talaga especially tinatawanan si michelle na lagok ng lagok ng maalat na tubig hahahahha. Kung anu-anong pinagusapan at kung anu-anong hiritan hehe mula brokebackan hanggang sa kung anong suot sa loob ng board shorts. basta marami hehe. siyempre di mawawala ang mga vanity shots. flex those muscles! pout gurrl! hehe labo.

Habang kami ay lumalangoy, the couples (joyce&mike, benj&kia) hmm dapat may couple name na sila parang brangelina or tomkat hmmm.. pwede bang jomi? mijo? joke? para kina joyce and mike.. tapos sila kia and benj.. kibe? kinj? beki? hahahahaha. anyway, the couples went to chowking to get lunch for us . sweetness. hehe. pero hmm bakit ang tagal tagal nila dumating?!?! hmmm. haha joke lang. mejo malayo talaga ang chowking. we ate chao fans (tama ba spelling?), pansit, lauriat.. so busog kami.

tapos ay vanity shots ulit. (IUPLOAD NIYO NA PLEASE!) nagswimming ang mga couples , uminom ang mga boys, nagwater war (with ice cold water! brrr), nagbeach volleyball (kung saan ang hilig ni jason magdive sa sand. hmmm haha). basta ang dami. Wow ang haba na pala ng post ko.

at around mga 4pm, we left nabasan beach. road trip ulit! hehe. we stopped over din pala to get gas and some goodies. sa starex bonding ulit plus vanity shots (with mood lights na, mind you). hehe basta siyempre masaya ulit.

we arrived in katipunan around 830pm.. we dropped off cheenee, kia, benj at prince, stopped by shoppersville to get some more goodies, tapos KFC to pick up nanan and ruthie, tapos mcdo to get some dinner. we dropped off mike rin.

sa bahay, we played billiards (I-shoot mo, i-shoot mo, i-shoot mo na ang ball!), played card games kung saan 2 guys tried to wake up nanan in the most seductive way haha to no avail, ate baked mac and chips/popcorn/samba, drank booze (haha may mga nalasing!), kwentuhan ulit. nagabang din siyempre ng mga shooting stars nakahiga/nakaupo sa labas. bonding hehe. maagang umuwi si joyce, tapos c kia,benj&ruthie umuwi ng around 430am. hehe at siyempre natulog din ang mga natira.

pero d nagtatapos dito. kumain kami ng breakfast (sardines, rice, corned beef, egg, pancakes) tapos we dressed up to go to mass at dela strada. we couldn't get enough of each other kaya we had lunch together pa at maxs (na puro spring chicken lang ang sinerve tapos wala pang kapares ang fork ni nanan ahahahahahah) . tapos nito.. yun na. tapos na. hehe naguwian na kami.

whew ang haba nun ah. so next time ulit sana 3days, 2 nights na hehe

take me to neverland!

i don't want to face this. i find it extremely difficult to at least think about it. i just don't know what to do. everyday instead of doing what im supposed to do, i slack off. i watch tv, hang out with friends. i don't want to be reminded of the fact that it's gonna be over soon. i just can't take it. i'm really not ready. sometimes I feel like i don't want to grow up. i don't want to say my goodbyes. i can't say goodbye. damn. can i just not think about this? i don't want to reminisce. i don't want to cry. i don't want to say that i'm really gonna miss this place, especially my friends. i don't want to say that i'm scared. i'm just not great with goodbyes. please somebody take me to neverland!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Friday, We watched the opening night of Comfort Woman. Congrats michelle I really loved the set! Anyway, I was extremely touched by the play. I couldn't help but cry. I can't take rape scenes. The play was haunting.. I still remember hearing these words.. Mga TRAK... BABOY.. Hearing these words hit me more than actually seeing how the rape scene was acted. Idol ko yung acting ni Lola Rosa and the young Rosa. I found it so genuine when Lola Rosa was crying and she was sort of wailing her words out.. I couldn't understand what she was saying but the intensity.. wow. Ang galing ng stage presence nila. you could really feel the pain. Another notable scene was when Young rosa was lying on the bamboo after she was raped. i felt my heart being ripped out. i just felt so sorry for her. it's extremely disturbing for me that years later, the japanese government denies that this sort of thing happened, that these women did not get the justice that they deserve.

After watching the play, we checked out the SOA concert. There were a number of ACilistas there and as usual we took pictures of ourselves. I found out that I was indeed part of the Mythical 5 in Women's Basketball! Cla told me before the play started but I don't know. It felt surreal. Anyway, playing basketball for ACIL was so much fun! I'm so proud of my teammates and everyone who watched our games and supported us. Thank you!

we then went to antipolo to eat at tosh. hehe chenee made the chicken piccata so irresistable that we just had to try it! haha she was right it was delish! i love garlic hehe. hay it was such a tiring day that i felt so sleepy. hehe buti na lang michelle was driving.

frankenstein, movies, ppcil, orgball, council

tinatamad na akong magblog hahahaha pero i wanted some sort of evidence na these events happened.. memories.. hehe since wala akong photos.. just wanted something to look back to hehe. emo.

the past week has been fun because i was feeling kinda spontaneous. hehe forget all the assignments etc gigimik ako! hahaha. last time i felt or acted like this was 3rd year 1st sem!!! Even became the official bum of ACIL and president of PPCIL hahaha. It was not naman na i didn't have any hw to do.. i did! I just didn't care too much haha. Tapos because of centennial and thesis, nawala na yung paeasy easy ewan ko. hay but last week ang saya! hehe parang naging tao ako ulit hehe.

RUMOR HAS IT
It all started with a walk-out. (hehe) I just was so tamad and felt spontaneous so I walked out of my class hehe and went to the acil space. I saw michelle there and I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie! hehe pumayag cia and we ended up watching rumor has it! all i can say is - your loss brad pitt! ang adorable pa rin ni jen aniston (kahit mejo may tiyan na siya.. hmmm bakit kaya?) sori team aniston ako!!! hehehe. the movie was okay. hindi naman super memorable but entertaining nonetheless.

FRANKENSTEIN
Hehe still had no cares in the world kaya when i went to the acil space, i invited people to go out and watch a movie with me. Kaya lang i had some transpo problems so we ended up not going out na lang. Luckily, may taga-TA who approached us and offered free tickets to frankenstein! hehe so yun nanood kami ni aligs and pao.. tapos si michelle nakasunod rin! hehe ang saya. all i can say is best TA play i've watched! Although i don't know if that's a worthy compliment since I've only been able to watch a few TA plays. Anyway, super okay yung set ang ganda talaga simple lang pero may dating cia. Tapos i loved the makeup and costumes super freaky and dark pero sobrang may impact talaga. sayang lang at pinagpapawisan si victor frankenstein hehe kaya hindi naging evident sa kanya na nasa malamig sila na place. hehe. Tapos grabe okay yung acting! Ang galing ng nilalang sobra. I was moved sobra. I felt pity for him sa mga first few scenes tapos super believable yung evolution o transformation nia into some murderer. Grabe katakot talaga cia hehe. I was involved in the whole play kaya I felt really sad and bothered sa ginawa nung nilalang. aawww. Nagalingan din ako kay justine, yung little boy and yung girl ni frankenstein. super worth it if ever nagbayad kami. talo pa sine. hehe.

PPCIL REUNION
And then the PPCIL reunion! too bad na hindi na nakasama sila rica and koonce and vicente (official driver dati). Meron pa kaming bagong hatak na si pao! mejo siksik na kami sa car ko since 7 kami benj,kia,michelle,nanan, aligs and pao. sabi ni kia first ever ppcil gimik nia (pero dont 4get galera baybeh!) when we got there we couldnt decide which movie to watch. yung mga boys gusto ng proof, yung mga girls naman gusto ng derailed. kami lang ni benj yung okay kahit ano. so kumain muna kami before the BIG decision hehe. we ate at KFC.. we ordered a bucket of chicken. can i just say buti na lang gusto ko yung chicken ng KFC kasi ang crappy palagi ng service at ang konti nung servings nila. o well. haha dun sa conflict with the movie, i sided na with the girls para benj gets to make the decision. evil hehe. he decided to agree with the boys so we watched proof. (hala lagot cia haha) the movie was okay. interesting naman there were some funny moments (HOHOBA!) hehe pero it was not memorable naman. haha nagulat na lang ako na tapos na hehe. hindi siya yung tipong film youd talk about and rave about afterwards. ang galing umarte ni gwyneth sobra. wala akong masabi. hehe at sige na aligs cute na si jake gylenhaal!!!
after the movie, umuwi na c aligs and pao. hindi pa kami ready umuwi so kia treated us sa kopi roti! hehe masarap in fairness. ang saya magbonding at magkulitan doon. hehe i remember the late nights ng ppcil nakikitambay lang kina mike or sa mocha blends. hay. hehe we had soo much time then. haha everynight gimik or sleepover eh. parang walang bukas. hahaha. anyway, all in all what a great night. i miss ppcil!

HOT AND HOTTER
Hehe ORgball!!! Date ko si michelle.. im sorry im the hotter date hahaha. My hot date was eva longoria hehe.. look-alike as she was wearing a body hugging red hot dress hehe. O ayan compliment yan michelle ah! I on the other hand wore black tube and slacks with a damn hot red tie and aviators! hehe promis hot date we looked gorgeous! sori ang vain na ba namin?!?! hehe pero seryoso everyone looked great! coolness yung 1920s outfit ni 3cia. hehe tapos ang elegant ni nante at koko. ang dami talaga everyone looked fabulous! haha anyway ang sarap ng food sa orgball! thanks corrinne and family hehe. kaya lang ang corny dahil konti lang yung sumasayaw hehe. o well. ang saya ng mga hotness pictures!! hahaha cant wait to see the pics! when people left na, tumambay muna kami kina 3cia and tried to watch amytville. hehe felt sleepy na so we walked home na (ang lapit kasi eh hehe). kahit bitin, it was a fun experience. an acil first! hehe.

COUNCIL Bonding!
Yay ang saya nilibre kami ni chinky sa gayuma! hehe ang saya talaga mgreminisce about the good ol days hahaha. senior syndrome. after eating lunch, we went to 3cias place for the council FS with kuya mark and ate nancy. hay all i can say ill super miss this council! sobrang thanks for the memories! hehe sabi nga ni matts parang pamilya na tayo. yikes tear. hehe. after the FS, we hung out muna kina 3cia. we all got hungry so we ordered from Mcdo. im sorry ang tagal dumating ng pagkain!!! sobrang gutom na kami hehe. while waiting for the food, we bonded, reminisced, danced, played pusoy dos.. hehe saya talaga! i love the hirits, the fun with puns! when the food came, haha bigla kaming tumahimik. gutom na gutom na kasi. we had our own worlds. me and my soggy fries hahaha. i love the council!!!

WALK THE LINE

I was pretty confused and messed up these past few weeks and most likely i've hurt people that are important to me. for that im extremely sorry.. i also would like to thank all the people who were there for me and really listened. im just glad that i got through it. i guess i've grown and changed a bit. basta im happy that it all worked out okay.. a new beginning of something..

so take me back to the start... -the scientist
