listening to: Legalize it - Peter Tosh
feeling: hopelessly contented

once again i indulged myself in worldly materials.... haaaayy... i just received my allowance for this week, and already, it's almost all gone, except for a little over 200 bucks.. and god, i've got 3 more school days to go... deym!!! u know why? it's there's another Body Shop Sale that's ending tomorrow... so i bought a Bronzer stick and Bergamot cologne... and then i would have to be on hunger strike for the rest of the week.. which is good in one hand coz il be forced to diet, and bad on the other, coz right now, ive got no intentions of dieting.. hehe, can u believe it? coz i need my weekly coffee fix... and i guess that would have to wait until next week... haaaaay.. well, that's it i'm living on sky flakes this week! :(

Frap Embassy

Listening to: Satisfaction - Benny Bennasi
Feeling: Tired but satisfied! naks

lo and behold... it's 5 years since the 5 of us, Grace, Giselle, Cappy, Michiko and I went on a girl's night out to celebrate michi's bday... and here are the details of the event:

Pre-party
Cappy and Giselle were supposed to come to my place at 1800H.... as expected, they didnt arrive on time.. w/c in turn got us late for our meeting w/ michi at her place at 8.. and as expected Mich wasnt completely ready even though we got there late. i left my Hyundai Elantra (w/c michi loved cz its the exact replica of Galv's) and we all took michi's car so we can chitchat and so i can be spared fr. driving.. hehe.. we had to pick Grace up from Jerry's Grill, Libis from her family dinner.



The Dinner at Cosway
Cosway, for the info of those who are not familiar, is a Chinese Restau along the stretch of Libis. Not as fastfood as Chowking but defnitely not as shala (a gay term i learned from michi, meaning sosyal/classy) as Li Li.
Now i've never been a fan of Chinese food, but the food was great, i especially liked the seaweed dish, the crab roe dumpling and their tea. However, if you're pretty and sexy like us (haha, no seriously) you might not want to over dress for the place coz the service crew are so goddam pathetically impolite- no Rude! Like they've never seen a woman in their entire lives... i mean, the crew of Jollibee are more polite.






blooper pics @ cosway. 1) Giselle as some one who came fro the movie the ring. 2) Cappy in invisible mode.



Party at Embassy
We arrived at Embassy, The Fort if im not mistaken, a few minutes before the stoke of midnight. our ride was parked not very near to the venue, then we joked on how we should've been there at 8 so we couldve gotten a better parking - aw... it's so HS! the night turned out great, even though i almost got a pick up from some foreigner, and Grace got a dance invitation from... haha--some loser! we saw Dyan Flores pla there also. after much dancing and getting wasted, we decided to leave at around 3am.


The desperate search for Starbucks
it's almost always that we go for a cup of coffee after a gimik, and this ritual haven't changed. and this time, because of my loyalty to Starbucks because of that planner..
So we searched the branch in the fort... while listening to Spice Girls' "Stop"... aw, how sweet! The Starbucks in the Fort... CLOSED..
Fine, there's one in Greenbelt 3.. so we were able to find a parking across BSA mansion (hmmm..).. it's near Greenbelt alright, but not exactly near when u've been dancing all night on tall heels right? We got there, got happy too coz a lotta people were still having coffee... but alas on the door, we find a sign saying: "CLOSED"... Deym... Strike 2! since we're in Greenbelt already, we decided to check out Absinth also, but at past-3am, things were beginning to mellow down also, we therefore resumed to our pursuit of coffee.
But we don't give up easily... there's a lot of branches all over Makati, and there's one in 6750.. and when we got there, it's open!! since it's late in the night (rather, too early in the am) we can park outside... jst as we were parking, they posted a sign on the door: CLOSED. what?! strike 3?
for this, we decided to go to the branch along SLEX, but we took a wrong lane and went straight along EDSA instead of taking a left to SLEX. we were forced to find some other alternative.. i thought of the Adriatico branch in Malate. goin there, btw, coming from Makati, we passed by Dasma and Torre Lorenzo branches w/c were both CLOSED.


anyway, we got to the Adriatico, Malate branch.. and guess what...it's OPEN!!! at 4:30 in the morning, our road trip finally paid off and i'm 4 stickers closer to my 21-coffee goal! (giselle hates dairy products!) haha!




Post Party

After our coffee talks, we arrived at Michi's house in Acropolis, Libis a few mins after 6. i got my car and drove the rest of us to my house. when we arrived, dad and his biker friends were all ready to get out for yet another road trip.. and we were jst ending our day!!! or were we? after that, it was Cappy, Giselle, Gwacee & me again in my room.... and just like a deja vu, we had our spill-a-secret part II talk. of course the contents are secret.. (duh!!) but it brought us even more closer.. hay!!! i love those girls!!!




Gimiks in planning:

  • December, for our xmas get together: 2-piece swimming party @ Johr's house. Rule #1: we must all wear 2-piece suits... this came about from an envy of other barkadas in 2 piece... start shopping for a sexy suit girls, and if possible, a sexy body too w/ matching confidence! haha
  • January: Gracee's Bday- Prince of Jaipur, the Fort, where the crowd is younger! haha...

This is what friendship is all about. I love you Sisqo!!!!!!

2 hour glory




Listening to: Be like that - 3 Doors Down
Mood: groggy - just got up - to catch The Chamber

being a suck up for the right persons that i am, i agreed to attend the conference on ecotourism in Hilltop Villas, Mimosa Clark Airbase, on behalf of my Ecotourism class under Mr. Lazaro. He was giving me a ride to and from the event venue and will be paying for the registration of one student. i took Kitel Calapardo along for the ride. I also arranged all papers necessary for my absence from my afternoon classes (ie, excuse letter for my entrepreneur class and my part for my thesis)
We arrived in Clark at around 2. When we got to the registration, Kitel and i did all the sales talk we needed to get the two of us for the price of one... and to get a complete set (oh yes, even more for the entire class) of necessary freebies we could--- they said they ran out of the CD (i dont even have any idea of its contents), well, we talkd them into getting one for us.
So finally, after haggling for the contents of the kit, we finally got into the venue... 2 for the price of 1! when we got there, they just had their lunch, but the buffet table was still there, i sweetly (yes, sweetly) asked the young, good looking waiter if we needed to present some stub to be able to get food.. he said we didnt so kitel and i jumped on it! haha... .free lunch... yes there's such a thing as a free lunch.
we had our lunch in the dining area set outside- next to the driving range (golf)... it turns out that Ford hosts this PGA tour thing and there was a test driving for their new line Forum. u probably guessed it.... we took the car for a spin ... haha! in fact, according to this nice gentleman who was manning the booth. we took the car out of the Mimosa area in fact.. haha.. and i still dont have my license... but of course i never let the Ford people know that...
my dad has a car shop, so i know quite a lot about cars than an ordinary girl would do. so i was conversing cars w/the ford people, and sounded like i have an authority-- but in fact i was just carrying pretentious know-how... but the guy bought it.. il probably make a good review of the car... but not right now.
when we got back to the seminar, again, we ransacked the dessert table.. as in ransacked! we even asked a plate and fork and opened a platter of sealed cream puffs. it turns out everybody wanted those sweets but were too shy to ask... silly people! haha, but then we went for it... we chatted for a while w/ some PUP tourism majors - and told them about our misadventures! they were so envious.... npakapasaway ng mga taga UP!
a few mins into our chitchat, Carlo texts that he's already there (as i informed him about my presence in his hometown and asked if we could meet up).... and there, it was bye bye to the conference and hello to Holiday Inn. we had exactly 15 minutes together.. haha and one bottle of beer before mr. lazaro asks us to be ready because he was gonna pick us up... well, we had to gulp down the san mig light realy fast! haha.... neurotic!!!


will edit this post... gtg! the chamber on TV!

1000-1300: Class - Tourism Marketing Communication
1300: Meeting w/ thesis partner re: progress report to be submitted & reported tom.

November 29: Proposal Outline for term paper Science, Technology & Society
December 1: Report on Foreign Institutions role in Ecotourism


i know it's a bad idea to have taken 24 f*ckin' units... here are some quotable quotes about my status:
giselle: "21 units suicide un, ano pa ang 24?"
carmi: "kaya hindi ko na iniinvite gumimik ang mga 24 units e"
dr. caoili: "hoping to graduate? yeah, let's hope!"
others: "Tour 111, tour 153, tas thesis pa! papakamatay ka b?" (u forgot to mention STS!)
others pa: "24?! gud lak!"
--my response: "kaya yan!!!" (w/ blood, sweat & tears for the drama!)

You're caring, warm, and the girl that nice guys want to marry.
Uncomplicated and simple, you've got an easy going attitude guys love.

You're a great conversationalist, and you're an expert at living the good life.

guys, believe it or not, i'm really like this... people just dont see it....

in class this afternoon, about promotion, we were discussing about image vs identity, ie, how one is perceived as opposed to who s/he really is.. and i must say, a lot of people don't really know who i am, sometimes i imagine that even my closest friends even get confused.. not that im pretending to be someone else, it's just that i don a different personality, depending on the kind of friend i hang out with... am i making my point clear?

it's HELL SEM, baby!

listening to: This is your life - Switchfoot
Feeling: Furious


i thought hitler was dead.. hell, i never thought she was female! and guess what, she's my STS prof. credential-wise, she's perfect. but attitude-wise.... i'd rather not comment. one's credentials doesnt always dictate a person's effectivity in teaching. and i really dont see the point how chewing gum can hinder one's ability to comprehend..
one more thing... my god, i'm enrolled in STS, not another thesis course, we are btw, required to submit a term paper (at least in my thesis we were given a year to complete it) by next year.. she wants our proposal in by next week! and we were limited to a topic she dictated... that's on top of the 2 reports she wants us to complete... haaaay..
our thesis progress report is due on thur, so my partner and i are meeting tom + this shitty STS pa.. deym!!!! i need ME-time, as in for me only!!!! waaaaahhh







You Are a Classic Bikini!



You are the type of gal who looks good in almost any bikini.

Going for the understated look, you don't need a flashy bikini to turn heads.

Feeling: Sleepy

anyway, i had a movie date with Sarsi to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire @ Gatewaymall. FYI, Sarsi and i have seen all the previous harry potter series in the past and plan to finish it together as well. Nobody can ever replace her for that. We also bought Kenny Rogers Muffins (but she passed on the strawberry muffins- she hates fruits on pastry).. and updated our Starbucks track card. haha... we also caught up with each other's lives.. haha.. and spilt some really dark secrets.. hehe... gosh i missed her so much. :)

after that, i went home and finished up on my interview w/ dad for my T115 class. we needed to take documentation for it so i had to pose w/ my dad.. haha... maybe i should post a pic of me on my dad's lap watchathink? haha ... aren't we so cute? carbon copy ba? i'm workin on the paper now.. haaay

What Your Pink Outfit Means



Unsurprisingly, you are very sweet and cute.

But you're also a bit of a tease - and not that innocent.

Shy but sexy, you're an alluring mix of contradictions.

How cool is your dad?


some dads drive a Ford F150, my dad is one of them.. but few are dads who drive a Mazda MX5.. fewer are dads who drive a big bike.. you see, at his age, my dad is pretty cool.
this morning i wanted to wear a mini skirt, but my dad will be taking me to class in his bike, so i had to wear jeans.

a couple of days ago i bumped our car, i was nervous all the way home. when i got home i told him my booboo.. he smiled it off and said that it was ok.

that evening, he took me and my sisters to eastwood for a couple of drinks and to spend some QT.. and he even joked me about smoking... luckily i already quit months ago so i didnt have to lie.

now i've got a report on entrepreneurship, he's my interviewee. whew! this opened up my eyes to everything that he's done for us, and i'm so grateful to have him.

i used to have a lot of problems opening up to my dad, but now i'm beginning to see the friend in him, over the father-figure. whatever happens, this guy will always be my main man! :)

Pa-rent-ing II

while i was on-line yesterday, mom sends an SMS and asks for a place we can go to for a couple of drinks. i suggested Metrowalk. well anyway, mom said dad wanted to go out. she told us to get ready by around 10-11pm since they will be coming from a meeting.
since we are tired, we decided to rest first. i fell asleep on the couch reading a book, but had my alarm set at quarter past 9. i did wake up to the alarm, and i did wake my sister up. but then i fell right back into sweet slumber. deym!
ding ding ding!!! i was awaken by the wild sound of our doorbell. they're home!!! and i'm dressed in a shorts, w/ a messed up hair and droopy eyes!
i apologized for over-sleeping then rushed to get ready, i wore a plain white sleeveless top. and then jessi borrowed my plain white tee. ok, now maui emerges in plain white spags... what? matching outfits?
so there, we dressed up and went out.. we decided to go to Eastwood where else but our friendly neighborhood gimik place.
We bumped into Clint & the rest of the IVS boys there.
We had the very delectable Dencio's sisig along w/ some beer and cocktails from Fuzion. Mom decided she wanted pasta so she bought a sampler platter from Fazolis . the night out was basically some quality time with the family.. wow... it's so fun to bond w/ them. it's moments like these that i really treasure. when u drink w/ ur dad and ur sisters and u talk about anything under the sun. not every family has the luxury of time to do that.
i feel really blessed. :) i bought 2 new shirts btw, again.. deym!

Pa-rent-ing

i almost didnt' sleep last night. i read Da Vinci again, and woke up early to well, read again. at 2 minutes before 7am, Jessi gets me out of bed and asks me to accompany her to this Parenting Seminar at her school. i dress up (a lil more mature) then the 3 of us, Maui included, went to St. Joseph's College.


Before the seminar, there was this short PTA meeting, regarding the activities and concerns of the students... Haaay.. imagine how bored Maui and I got there. Then there was this seminar. about parenting in this era to the "tween-agers". well u could say i was more relating w/ the child than the parent, but it gave me several enlightenment about how a parent thinks. i'd love to share more but i'd rather edit this entry later on.. i'm so dead tired.


Then after we decided to have lunch at KFC in along E. Rodriguez. Deym, i bumped the Starex into a parked car!!! well, it was just a scratch, still. deym!!! i was honest with dad about it and he didn't get mad.. instead he rubbed me on the head and said: "ikaw tlaga", malambing still. aawww... i love my DAD he's the best!!! i'm wondering why, whenever i do something good or i become a good girl i do sumthing stupid to screw things up-- like errm.. bump our cars?! haaaay

Well, that's done, after that, before goin home, Jessi decided that she still wanted to go out, and so we did and look at this shirt that i bought? isn't it so me? i love it!

Day 2: I'm a wannabe science major

i came to class on time again. and it took a lotta effort to do so.. thank you to robert (langdon) for another sleepless night! i just can't put that book down.


so this morning, i did some morning exercises and got ready for class. when i got to class, my teacher for my 10 am class did yet another no-show! deym! i then spent the rest of the morning following Langdon's adventures and planning my lunchdate with my Sisqo friends, Johr & Giselle.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

We were supposed to have lunch at the UP Law Canteen, my favorite food place in the entire campus because of their Pesto (my fave pasta).. but alas, they've employed a new caterer for the sem.. :( sob... No more lunches at law, no more sightings for Law Studs. Well, i never saw any hotties anyway.. :( they were just never around when i'm there. We decided to eat at Chocolate Kiss @ the UP Alumni Center. ~since my craving for Pesto has already been activated. so there, the 3 of us bonded and chatted about girly stuff... I shared the dessert w/ Johr, w/c is a good thing, coz if she didn't, i would've gulped the entire thing... I'm so a sucker for SWEETS!!! i'l eat anything as long as it's sweet... and u wonder why i'm not thin.


So anyway, after our lunch date, i needed to head for my NatSci 1 (physics/chem). I didn't know where the classroom is so i asked Giselle to accompany me. i had only a few minutes to spare and i'm still lost. Whatta relief when i arrived on time for class. and just my luck, i found a note saying that my class was moved to another building (NIGS), which is at least a kilometer away, with no transport service available. Grrrrr!!!! I half-ran to class, and began my search for the lost classroom. i got there on time to sign my class card. I'm probably the oldest person in that class w/ the exeption of my prof.. Haaaay!


My next class Science, Technology and Society (STS) was to be held in the same room as my Natsci, so i didn't have to leave the room.. its such a small room to hold such a big class. I didnt know anyone in either of my afternoon class, and it sucks. Especially because we needed to form groups of 5s for reporting. I paired up w/ a stranger and luckily found another college-mate w/ her own companion. so we needed just one more. and we found one more collegemate who came late. we were the earliest to approach the proctor for the group listing and we got to choose good enough topics w/c are the Effects of Science and technology to the Environment and Ethics relating to Science and Technology. and guess what, i'm the group leader! sick sick sick! just what i needed to put me in deeper sh*t of this academic pit. Haaaaay!!! Help me Lord!!! I hate Tuesdays and Fridays!!!!!!!

Day 1: My Respectable Roster of Educators

On my first day of classes, i arrive on time. and this is what starting the sem is all about. i get into class... nada, the room is empty. i'm a little too early.

my first class: Business Policy in the Tourism Industry. My prof, intellectual hottness, Dr. Ramon Benedicto "Randelicious" Alampay . and today we're learning about strategic management... deym! i'm so inspired. I've only had this teacher once before in my Domestic Tourism class 3 sems ago. i was unlucky to not have him as my thesis advisor also. In class, i was just simply in awe. A graduate of AIT, he's obtained his MA in tourism from the University of Hawaii, and he's the only person in the Philippines who's got a PhD in Tourism.. *sigh* and humble enough to say he's not God~ but u know wat? HE IS!!! :D

Class #2: EcoTourism , interesting subject, our professor is planning environmental trips to the likes of Anilao, Batangas w/c is of course one of the best dive spots in the Philippines. My professor Dr. Antonio L. Lazaro he prefers to be called "Tony" in class. but of course i couldn't. neither could my classmates...one actually addressed him as "tito tony" LOL well the catch, he's a dad mason, as introduced by Mr. Zito O'choa to urs truly. He kinda built me up good to my prof.. thanks very much. i guess i deserved it. :) He's a cool guy. Also a graduate of AIT, with a MA in Urban Planning and a PhD in Philippine Studies. Btw, he noticed i was reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci code.


No class for the rest of the day. Teachers yet to be switched on to acad mode :) i have a good feeling this sem will be great (yeah bitch, keep telling urself that!)

I'm making this one hell of a ride

i'm finally and officially enrolled! i'm starting the sem right, i came a few minutes before time this morning, only to find out my teacher had no interest in teaching today. ok.. no loss. at least i was able to complete my enrollment... aw... this is hopefully my last sem, still i dunno the proper order of the enrollment process w/o peering through the step guides.. LOL.
well anyway, this morning, i got into a UP-Katipunan jeep, and sat in my fave seat (either behind the driver or the seat opposite it-- today i got the one behind the passenger seat)... i was in deep concentration over robert langdon's adventures when this nice looking guy sat in the passenger seat on my right. Actually, "nice" is an understatement.. he looks hott in his neat looking way. Clean cut, neatly gelled hair, no facial hair, clear glasses, collared shirt and best of all, he smells d*mn good! he would be a quintessence of my dream husband, he looks like a law student. o well, i tried to steal a glimpse of him on the rear view mirror.. and he does look good.. *sigh* then another guy sat beside him and he was pushed to his left, the guy being directly on my right.
so i continued reading my book til we got to UP. i stopped when the guy on my right got off the jeep and mr. hotness positioned himself to my right.. and just then, i realized who the other guy is.. BRUCE QUEBRAL. o well, i dont crush over him anymore. i was more interested in mr. hotness and robert langdon to care. haha
Image hosted by Photobucket.comwell, earlier, in the line to pay, i saw this girl, she was carrying a Dora the Explorer bag, identical to that of my 5-year old sisters. i'm like, whoa girl, this is university, pre-school is on the other side of the campus. i'm a meanie! but u know, sometimes i try to be cute (read TRY), but i let go of pig tails in HS ~and i find it kinda late already. so what's up w/ dora anyway? i mean i watch it, and enjoy watching it even~ introduced, of course, by bonding w/ lil sibs... but it doesnt mean i have to carry a bag that looks like i ransacked my kid sister's room.
i'm actually kinda changing my style.. i'm trying to look for more mature outfits, sumthing i can take w/ me after i leave college (hopefully). i jst dont have the dough to fund them. but at least i have a foresight of what i might need. not splurging on dora stuff. i mean hey, i wanna be ELLE WOODS, not ELMO.
ok, back to enrollment, almost every person i got to interact w/ in the assesment, advising, checking, etc, were all sharing their thoughts about me graduating (point of info, AIT's a small college, almost everyone knows everyone-including faculty and staff). and w/ every person, i get excited and nervous.. am i really gonna make it? as i look at my sked i fear i might get all tied up sometime later. i probably will, but i'm still up to the challenge. i'm gonna make this the best sem ever. even if i have physics/chem!


MY NEW SEM's RESOLUTION
1. Study hard!! seriously now... 5 months to go!
2. Eat healthy... no more hanging out at the canteen, potato chips is bad for ur health
3. Save more.. no potato chips, ergo, more money
4. Prioritize acads.. so extra currics, i've devoted the rest of my college years to u.. this sem is ME-time
5. Say NO to d*mn temptation... temptations of going out too much or cutting classes.. :)

it's gonna be a fun 5 months.. i'm gonna have a new mantra from now on.. although i can't think of a nice catchy one just yet.. hehe.. mwah!

is MY LAST SEM as an UNDERGRAD

I know God loves me. but when i woke up today, he made it quite obvious. I'm still quite shaky as i write because of all the excitement i'm feeling. I slept quite late (around 1am) this morning because i was reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, which i borrowed from Martin.

at 5 am, an urgent knock on my bedroom door. it's my sister Jessi, asking for her allowance w/c was with me. still groggy, i tried to locate it in my dark room.. i did and went back to sleep.

at exactly 7:11 am, my alarm rang and got out of my so cool and comfy bed at exactly 7:15 am. it was raining quite hard, i didn't really wanna go out. i did some math for the grocery we did last night and submitted the accounted receipts to my dad when i went down for breakfast. he asked me what i was gonna do for the day. i told him it's enrollment day.. he asked me what was i still doin at home at 8... shouldn't i be at school early today? coolly, i told him, i just need to enlist 6 more units (2 subjects) and i'll be as good as done.

i took a shower and after i got ready... the sun is shining brightly.. like saying: "go get it, girl!". hold on, the best is yet to come..

before i crossed the commonwealth ave going to my wonderful college of the UP Asian Institute of Tourism i bumped into my thesis partner Edward. we are so geared up for the more complicated part of our thesis this coming term... oh yeah...!!!!

as we were approaching the college, we saw this really loooong line (it's so looong it's visible from the highway!), but being the charming character i am, we got ourselves in the first quarter of the line.. thank you Archie Yuki! i missed my friends.. we chatted cheerily for a few mins til it was our turn to be served.. Guess what! No Failures!!! :D

my luck keeps on coming... after the 1st step, i now go to step #2, and there was another loooong line! thank heavens, there is a special short line for the graduating peeps. just my luck (no sarcasm), i get a good adviser and grants me overload~24 whopping units!

step 3: i need to get 2 more subjects--one required major, one tourism elective. i listed down my preferred sked, i listed 2 for my elective, just in case i dont my first choice. i get to the enlistment room. no line, i was up next, 2 subjects, i get in less than 10 minutes. and i got my first choice elective!

but wait, there's more... less than a minute after i reached touch down, the rain started to pour hard... whoa! the wonders God is showering over me today! i'm soooo sooo happy! it took me less than 2 hours to complete the most tedious parts of the enrollment process, and i only got the best. i didnt even get to read the book i brought for the boring waiting time, well, except in transit goin to school, my heart was pounding on the way home (until now!) that i really concentrate on it. i don't even have to go back to school tomorrow, all i need is to pay, which i can do on a regular school day (classes for UP start on the 9th)...

Target Grade: 1.5

of course i'm not gonna get that, i never did, but i have to give myself a goal so i'll have an inspiration to work on, right?



Things to do to Graduate
1. Substitute Math 17 for Math 11, and Math 101 for Stat 101 (FYI, i was BS. Physics-Math)

2. Complete application for Graduation

my last week on break

this is my final weekend as a free citizen of the world... tomorrow and the day after that will be enrollment frenzy and then on wednesday, my calvary as a scholarly (yeah right!) young adult begins... i'm keeping my hopes up.. i'm gonna be taking 24 whopping units, and with luck, my last 24 units as a college student. ~but of course that is subject to the availability of classes, and my ability to charm the adviser (for that matter, i'm gonna have to seek sir alampay!)..



so for my weekend... i'll make it brief.. i was able to give jemma her lip and cheek tint. i met up with some friends, some chitchat, afternoon snacks and went to laarni's house so she can pick up her overnight stuff. we spent the night girl-talking.. and well.. bashing u-knw-whats (if u dont.. well, sori i cant say). when laarni left, i started sheena's get-rid-of-ur-love-handles work out plan. haha.. thanx for that sheenababes!

Even Goddesses have a boring day

i did my chores and have been on-line all morning. it's a boring day. no action whatsoever. it's a holiday. no work, no gracee on line. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

i was reading cappy's blog.. that girl is a blog addict.. and she used to tease me about it. well.. i figured.. it's fun, isn't it... when you're happy u write it down.. when you're sad u write it down.. when you're perplexed, u write it down.. and when you're bored, you read what you've written the past days.. and be happy or sad or perplexed once again.. at least not bored!

like i promised, i will post a picture of my dear sister, Juannah as soon as my upload quota refreshes.. and here she is.. lovable juannah. w/ here curls & all.

and as u can see im bored.. really bored. im taking pics of myself using our webcam for no particular reason. just to keep myself busy.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

i didnt get my diver's certification. i could but i opted not to. my dad told me he's gonna give me money, but i figured, it really won't matter if i get one today or later after my graduation. i wouldn't be able to use it til i have my own money.. it would not be nice on my part if i keep on asking. i'll wait til im earning my keep. then i'd spend like hell.

holiday'z over

Yey, the holiday's are over.. whew.. i just got back from a vacay at my granny's in Antipolo... i miss my cousins.. the nice ones... the boys-- i'm simply glad they're gone out of my life temporarily. I just can't stand their rowdiness.... why can't all kids be like Phia (laarni's niece)..

ok, so i after the dinner on the eve of Halloween (Tiendesitas Tripping entry), i went i went with my tita to antipolo... then my calvary began.... of being the big cousin....

we went to the cemetery the next day, to visit my grandpa... aw i miss him... i'm lucky to be his only grandchild he lived to see... so im sure im his favorite.. he used to take me to school when i was a little toddler... he'd be the one to get me ready to school, take me there and pick me up after. aw.. i really miss him... *sniff, sniff*

well aside from that nothing interesting happend.. i just watched dvds.. old ones!!!! (as in beauty and the beast, cinderella, scary movie 2, the haunted mansion).. so that went on for a 3 days.. watching old dvds...

today, i finally got out. its not that i didn't enjoy my stay there, it's jst that i don't feel comfy... i so got used to my bed and my bathroom and the peace in my room that i really couldnt stand the noise my boy-cousins were creating... as in, no exaggerations.. they're so F*ing rowdy... , plus i had to share the bed w/ my girl-cousin, bambi, she's nice, but not when asleep--she hurts people. plus the bed is too soft... i was having back aches, i then realized i needed to sleep on the couch.. which i did. on the first 2 nights i attempted to sleep on the bed next to bambi, then move to the couch in the living room midnight. on the 3rd night i slept on the couch right away... but i never had a good night's sleep.. d@mn!

so this morning, i left the house, did a little shopping, 2 shirts and 1 pair of undies... kinda getting ready for the coming sem, huh? and had coffee w/ my sister, Jessi and cousin, Zia at Starbucks, Eastwood.
