Once again i spent some quality time with my family.. this time in a larger scale.. the whole clan of my dad-side.. with a few subractions,that is.. we wen to Tiendesitas- this new cool place in the intersection of Ortigas and libis/C5.. o well.. i'll tell you more later.. mwah!

Because of the Body Shop sale

Yey, before the Body Shop October Sale was thru, i was able to get myself that most coveted lip & cheek tint for 695php... buy one, take one! hehe... this is just like and advertisement..
well anyway, yesterday i went to Gateway Mall, Cubao to do my shopping, i was w/ bro Marts... grabe dml ethic # 15, a dml never comes on time! well anyway, i bought the goods and then had a late lunch... grabe, i hated KFC for that.. while in the looong line, there was this pre-order taking thing-- u know, when u are in line and a crew will ask u for ur order then gives u a piece of paper that u wil then hand to the cashier wen its your turn-- well, i ordered this combo that includes a rice bowl meal, soup and salad... she asked me so many questions like flavor of the rice bowl, and the salad dressing and wat my drink was and whether to upsize it or what, etc, etc... and i answered it patiently even w/ a rumbling tummy... then when i get to the counter... wham! they don't F*ing have it!!!! D*mn! then i had to rethink about my order and was forced to get a lousy burger and potato chips.. haaaaaay...
well we watched The Legend of Zorro after.. its a nice film, funny too... i'm just not in the mood to comment on it... u see, after that i bought CDs (as his Royal Highness, AKA Amang Hari, wishes) and went home... before going home i stopped by and heard mass... before the mass ended, it rained. i didnt have an umbrella so i just ran home, seeing that i didn't have any other option and my house was nearby anyway.. before the end of the night my whole body was aching (partly because of our-jessi & me- work out program) and my eyes were so warm.. i felt like i was gonna get really sick and went to bed early..
O well, at least i got to go out of the house. I still feel kinda sick as i write.. well..
Happy Halloween!!!!
Happy Birthday to (oct 30): Lori Fragata

Sister Act

Yeah.. i'm enjoying the sem break... the previous week i spent with my friends, this week i spent well with my family.. it's feels so great to bong with them once in a while. i think that it's the true value of holidays-- spending time with your family... we take them for granted coz we see them everyday, all that transpires are routinary hi's and hellos.. but really, i feel great...
for the past few days i did nothing but bond with my sister Jessi over lame nothings, from creepy spooky web sites, sound tripping, to food binging and to desperately trying to burn it off by strenuous work out.
today, i spent the day with my sisters, Maui, Jessi and little Juanna; trick or treating in East Greenhills with our parents' friends.. i was really taken aback when mom delegated us to take Juanna Trick or Treating... whatta? the 3 of us on our sister whom we almost always tease as having ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder- meaning having too much energy.. not in a good way)... well, we were sentenced to this fate for the day, and we didn't have much of a choice....
So i drove my sisters to the venue, when we got there, we had to escort Juanna (dressed as Batgirl- no she didn't want those princess costumes!) around the village for not less than an hour... in the afternoon heat mind you!!! after an hour in the scorching heat (ok that's an exaggeration).. we took her to greenhills to do a lil shopping.. damn.. its really exhausting!!!!
for sure, im not ready for the responsibilities of a mom.... but hell.. i really wanna get out there... i wanna graduate na.. my grades are out.. not exactly the ones i'd die for but they're ok for a head of an event as big as Tipsy Saturday.. hay... well, bottom line... i love my family and im enjoying my holiday with them... even if Juanna tires the life out of me... i've reached my upload quota for the month.. il upload her photos soon... ul love her as much as i do..
i love my sisters: maui, jessi and juanna! :)

Family Day Sunday

they said sunday is supposed to be a family day.. but u know what.. i havent had a serious, hard core family day in a looong while... but last sunday (yesterday) was a different thing... my mom had 2 bday parties last friday and saturday (her real bday is sat). and yesterday, all of us just stayed home, my dad wa able to sell one of his cars.. [yey!] and we had a little more than usual. we heard mass together-- it's been a looong time since the last time we did this also... we had dinner and we saw a movie... though we had to split up coz my baby sister is not allowed to see Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo.
it's true no family is perfect, mine is not an exception, but it's sure heart-warming to know that once in a while you live so harmoniously together.. not just co-existing.. :)

Charade Reunited

the charade brigade is still alive!!!! we had pizza last night, abby, sarah, jem, kei, jaq, karl, jeff and myself... well anyway, abby texts me that morning and invites me to go out that afternoon... im like: what? i'm broke, as ive spent all my money in my sem-ender and the day before in carlo's coffee thingie... i go on line and find jem on line as well... she forces me to go, i agree w/ the condition that she finds a financial means for me to attend... haha.. thank you jeffy "sex god", he paid for my bills.. so there, i was able to reunite w/ all of them, all the girls bloomed! jaq had looong beautiful hair, kei cut her hair short but she looks pretty still and abby oh she's so pretty in love. :) jeff had new braces, he looks cute in them.. and karl... well, he did something to his hair.. something most of us ddnt think looked ok on him.. well, that's karl for you.. somethings never change.. it seems like we've never been apart at all... hay.. i love these guys!!!

Realizations from Meets and Greets

Last thursday wednesday, after i came back from blue coral, Laarni texted me and said she's coming over... lakas ng trip! haha it was fun... i haven't seen her in the longest time.. it appears that we are in the same boat and still share the same sentiments on.. boys.. hehe.. and boy related thingies... some things never change... lessons i learned:

you don't have to be "friends" w/ ur ex's currents or their lousy friends just to prove that you moved on...

so un, laarni slept over and we had a blast updating each other with happenings in our lives. and u know, guess what.. we're both single and happy about it.. i mean, i bet i'm sincerely happier than others who are committed.. im having fun w/ my friends and no strings attached. i was talking to patty also during our sem-ender.. we're not looking for it and we're fine about it... although it is also true that when im w/ couples (ie, 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc wheel) i cant help but feel incomplete, but c'mon, that's not everyday that im placed in that situation u know.. and besides if i want someone to get cozy w/, i can always get one if i wanted to. hehe... *naugthy smile*
yesterday also, i went to coffee bean and tea leaf, greenbelt and had coffee with jem, sarah and carlo ... . alright, the Charaders are still alive.. ang payat ni carlo!!! well aside from that, nothing changed.. we're still the same people we know from the past... still the same lousy topics (those that cannot be openly divulged in this blog, else ur gonna think im a bad girl... hehe)... so there.. i missed the charaders!!! hope to see all of them soon and i hope that the x'mas thingie will push through.. carlo!!! hate you.. pinagpalit mo na kme.. joke!!!
so girls, for love or for money? :)

TS Sem Ender

DAY 1: HUNGER STRIKE AND SUPERSIZE ME
Early morning, my ever asteeg dad brought me to the bus station for the UP Travel Society's Sem Ender to be held in Blue Coral Resort, Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. So there was a group of young, gorgeous and boisterous people (that's us!) who boarded the bus station in cubao. Then off we went for the ride of a lifetime. [point of info: i spent the previous night working on the post documentation for Tipsy Saturday. Ergo, Me--no sleep!] i missed my breakfast as i was in a hurry to fix my stuff, but was able to snack on the way to the resort.
We arrived at the resort before 12, lunch supposedly, but alas! we're not signed in for meals at lunch.. and dinner was clearly hours away. the resort (even though really asteeg) didnt serve ala carte meals!. we therefore spent the day on an imposed hunger strike!
That didnt stop us to go and enjoy our selves in the pool and in the beach. However, come early evening... we were all hungry as hell as we just laid watching DVDs. One of which, is SUPERSIZE ME. It didnt gross us out. Instead, made us even more hungry, craving for quarter pounders and big macs.
Dinner eventually came and our agony ended. It was every man for himself. Even if the boys' barbeque wasnt enough for second rounds, it was certainly one of the best meals i've ever tasted.
After dinner, beer, gin, vodka, and jack daniels...no chasers and almost no pulutan.. imagine the effect it had on the people!
We had the poolside to ourselves... (wat the heck! the entire resort to ourselves!) so we could play ira's house and reggae music to unimaginable decibels.
We did have the place all to ourselves but we knew how to partay and partay well. our national anthem for the night... house music, track #5: Bonnie Bailey's Ever After. As per request of ms. quizon, i'm not to divulge minute details about the proceedings during the said event... hehe.... *naugthy smile* to cut it short... it was one helluva night! After the un-sober people were put to rest, drew, ira and i took a dip in the warm pool to finally end a magnificent evening... although i had to sleep beside patty coz vicmel slept in my place!

DAY 2: ISSUES AND IF ONLY
After breakfast, we jumped into the water (both pool and beach) and had the time of our lives at the issues and incidents that occured the previous night. people who "accidentally" kissed in the game suck and blow, ppl who cried, and those who cried over IF ONLY, people who got senti, and those who got really drunk they might have done a lot of embarrassing things... hehe.. we had the time of our lives reminiscing the events of the previous night as we looked forward to another evening of booze.
before another booze bash, the girls and i played "1, 2, 3 Ti!", our own rendition of the card game: 123 pass... here's the idea... we play it w/ vic's behind as our erm... table?! hehe, well be creative
we were also armed this time w/ chaser and chips and left over beefsteak and fish from lunch so we were more prepared for night 2. i didnt get wasted again.. huhu.. still had a good time though. we also had movies playing almost the entire time... movies from a diverse selection... from the girly first daughter, to the lousy horror flick: they, mainstream mr. and mrs. smith to the mushy IF ONLY, w/c thanks to jake, was played around 4 times during those 2 days.. and the song.. god could only tell!

---

DAY 3: THE LONG RIDE HOME
Our final day was merely the loooong trip back to Manila... but even that is fun, thanks to jake's pag-ong, pa-la-ka.. and shit.. my bag fell on my head! anyway, before boarding the bus, we had our lunch in lipa city... guess where? McDonalds!!! where we all gave into our cravings of those dangerously yummy burgers!!! i for one had a quarter w/ fries and sundae!!! all right!!! when we got there, of course my UP Maroon friends were once again attention-catching "uy mga UP Maroons!"... and so is Ly-anne, for spilling a large cup of coke and a choco-fudge sundae of her tray! hehe :)
i really enjoyed my the sem ender and i love TS!! im gonna miss you guys!!!

Emotional High

Last night, i was in my room, doing my regular tidying up... when all of a sudden... bam! i was so down i was having a difficult time breathing... i was so down, it was more like melancholic.. and wait.. was that a teardrop? i felt really weird... what ignited this flame of passion? just a simple conversation about the past. but like what ive been telling grace last night... even if you move on and you're definite that you've forgotten about the past, you'll never be completely ok. there'd still be a time when u look back and then u laugh, or sometimes u feel bad.. hell, ive this quotable quote w/c i sent to gracee yesterday:
"When your heart gets broken, something inside you dies, and it never heals. you may recover, but never completely"
so feeling ko gumagawa ako ng sarili kong book of sonnets.. haha.. well that's just one.. i said more of those, i never thought i could be that deep sometimes.. as if i dont know myself.. seriously, last night, i wanted to get drunk and cry..
well anyway, i went from happy to sad and back to happy again when i spoke with my sister afterwards... i envy young people.. everything seems so easy, everyday they're carefree. i thought there are still simple things that i could be thankful for and collectively, they're massive. like my friends, my family, my experiences..
gracee, you're the best... thanks for listening to me even when you're busy at work.. love yah!!!! our duckies.....

God have mercy on women

do you realize who this is? oh yes it's Bruce "almighty" Quebral.. the star of all my fantasies... Gawd, he's soo hottt! oh my, im being sinful again.. i've just gotten hold of this picture from TIPSY SATURDAY (courtesy of chalkie, thank you very much). i did say he graced our event with his godly presence... and the moment lives on..
Anyway, my friend recently dumped her bf because he "did it" with his ex.. lousy guy.. and now he wants her back. and even before that, twice this girl kissed my friend's bf in front of her.. and on the 2nd incidence they had this cat fight. the flirty ex even had the nerve to call my friend "b*tch". now, this b*tchy ex is now stalking my friend, calling her, texting her, flooding her email.. over. Hey beeeaatch, how pathetic u are! have you heard of karma? haaaayy why is the world like this?
boys... why are they like that.. on one hand they make a girl's life full of color and delight (oh yes! see picture.. hehe) and on the other hand they simply make a girl's life completely miserable... but for me, boys will always be one of god's best gift to women. :) am i boy crazy? no.. just realistic..
btw, for a very wonderful, filling breakfast.. thanks... u know who you are! ;)

TS Indoc

Last night i came from AIT for yet another indoc of my beloved TS... as usual, masaya w/ all the frills and fun of being a TS member. Before, during and after the indoc the rain was so wild! Grabe, good thing my mom went to pick me up. Although i didn't finish the activity, it was fun nevertheless... Can't wait for the semender!!! :)

i miss my charade brigade friends... i'm w/ carlo @ ym right now.. and i realize, does Charade Brigade still exist now? i think the distance did contribute to the difficulty of getting together. still it's sad.
Charaders, if you're reading this... : i miss you guys, hope to see you soon!
