ALWAYS, I WANNA BE WITH YOU

What could be more exciting than a whole day spent with friends? NOTHING. I had lunch with half of the OC (Toni, Triccie, and Bea) yesterday. I look at you guys and realize how much we've grown, I am tearing up as I write this. Gym next week, okay? Ki also treated me, Franco, and Zia to a movie and dinner. The money was with me, and it just feels so good to just spend money that isn't yours, while pretending (in the back of your mind) the it is and showing the waiters and cashiers what a good sister you are, treating your siblings to a movie and buying them "whatever they want".


Me: Hi, Shobs, what do you want?
Zia: I'm thirsty.
Me: Starbucks?

AND

Me: Hey, guys, let's go to Fully Booked, ONE ITEM EACH LANG HA?

AND AND

Me: Let's get munchies before the movie! Go get whatever you want! Eto lang?! Miss, magkano lahat?
The best part is fishing my wallet out of my bag and paying. WAAAH, good feel.

In the movies, we were seated beside little kids accompanied by their Lola.
Moron Kid: LOLA! NATUTULOG KA NA BA?!

KID, HINDI SASAGOT ANG LOLA MO. TULOG NA YAN, TRAILER PALANG--HABANG NAG-IINGAY KA AT SINUSUNDAN MO ANG PAGKANTA NG "CHIHUAHUA". MANOOD KA NALANG PWEDE? KUMAKANTA NA SI ZAC EFRON. (Pero malamang, I didn't say this because kids love me and I wanna leave it at that).

So, there, we watched the gay-est movie ever.

Pong and Ib visited last night and they stayed until late! Watch out for the video, inspired by kevjumba on Youtube. Ever since Triccie linked me to the funniest guy in the face of the planet to date, I have been fantasizing about marrying him and having interracial babies because I am Caucasian (and because he is open to it!) HA HA HA HA HA! But then, I'm also an advocate of Family First, I take in consideration the stand of his gullible dad about NOT having interracial babies. So, then I fantasize about being his wife and having cute, little Asian babies--THAT'S WHEN THE ASIAN PART COMES IN. HI, I AM ASIAN.

Okay, that's all. I should think of something to blog about.

Cheerios, Papitos!

BEST OF LUCK


I had a rough start this year and going through the months of drawbacks, resentment, and whatnot would usually make me feel like this tiny person who didn't deserve anything. The weird thing is, I am doing pretty fine. I've been waiting for so long to finally say that I AM DOING FINE. The problem is, I tell people that I'm an optimist but in reality I am the opposite (which I doubt because being a pessimist would seem like an understatement). I am afraid of failure, imperfection, and anything that would trigger criticisms, but I've realized that sometimes there are things (and/or people) that would drag you to those things that you've been avoiding ever since you've learned basic Geometry (in my case, the 1st grade). 

I know I've slacked off during the first semester and I know I've flipped my head over by receiving failing marks due to mediocrity. And I think to myself, is this the end of it? Well, let's just wait for the DEV grades to come out. Seriously, though, I regret the times when I'd doze off, sulk around, and stare into space when I could've pried into my readings more. But another part of me does not. It's weird but I am laughing my ass off when I think of the moments when I've completely bombarded my friends' ears about my "suck-y life" and "why can't things go my way speech". I am sorry that I almost had to literally stitch your ears back into place. Although they shouldn't trust me with the stitching, I am having problems with which one is LEFT and RIGHT.
Point is, this break has given me time to relax and think for a tad bit. And whatever happens, so what?!

HAPPENINGS




Sorry, XLZ. People were banging and trashing.
Lola T!
Father and daughter by the water!
My new friends.

It is actually an injustice to just briefly run through this experience. I am just doing this because it's taking forever to upload the Bacolod photos. But I'll do it in my own time. I am just so thankful for what I have after seeing these things.

Cheerios!

BACK FROM THE CITY OF SMILES

I AM BACK! Although it's good to be back home, I am missing my friends and Bacolod ever so much. I've made some progress because I can understand Ilonggo already but I can't speak Ilonggo--let's just say, I can't express myself. 


I want to thank Tito Boy and Tita Stella  for adopting me. God, I've gained so much! Also to Anna, Anj, and Anton.

I miss my girls, Kat, Anj, and Ib! Waaah, you guys are the best!

Here are some of my favorite photos from my trip:
Something for my blog taken at a day trip to Lakawon-- Carouselambra by Led Zep
In the middle of the Lacson Street for the Masskara. 
We were one boat ride away from Agutaya (Pipoy's island). Breathtaking!
Waiting for the boat with my favorite girls!
I was just taking photos during the 3-hour car ride to Kabankalan.

I will upload some more later.

I'm going to Quezon na!

Cheerios, Papitos!

SURE, 'DAY

BACOLOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ATTEMPT

So, I tried to pack for my trip to Bacolod (which I am really excited for) but all I got was a messier closet! I miserably failed and I have no time to pack tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'll leave something behind. WAAAH. The photos here only show one side of the room. As for the other side? I decided not to take a photo of it, let alone look at it. I just realized you need inspiration. I have none. 


Okay, goodnight/morning. I'M GOING TO BACOLOD TOMORROW!!!!!! :)

JUST STAND UP

After my FIL103 final, I rushed home because I felt like something was not right. I was about to press the elevator button when it the doors opened, only to see my parents and my aunt--all wearing black. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. That's when they told me that my Lola passed away that morning. We rushed to the funeral parlor and the rest is history. The details are still difficult to write about as I remember every single conversation we had that day, October 12th, 2006. I miss my Lola. She was sweet and loving (and treats me like a princess whenever I got to Bulacan). She would change the sheets because she knew that I would be curling up on her bed with a good book and then fall asleep. Everytime I had a Christmas Party in school, she would be the one to cook the chicken assigned for me to bring. I MISS AND LOVE YOU. She passed due to cancer. I know she's watching over me. Always. I miss your house, Lola. It's funny how the house seems to be gloomy but sometimes it's as if you're just there. WE MISS YOU.

TAMA BA?

When boiling water, you have to put water on the pot, and place the pot on the stove, then light up the stove?

THE COMET

Later is too soon. Tomorrow is too uncertain. And forever is too much of a dream.


Lindsay told Lucas that she'd wish he'd told her over the phone. What difference would it make? I mean, she still did something about Chicago.

Pff.

UNEVEN



I just noticed that my face is uneven. I know that our faces are naturally asymmetrical and that only a few have symmetrical faces like, Yoanna House. This is no Yoanna House.
Maybe it's because I do nothing but frown all the time. Or maybe it's because I tried to put two (actually three but it won't do) Ferroro Rochers in my mouth. You know, just for the hang of it. Or maybe it's God's way of telling me that I look like a bullhorn.

Okay. I've been reading my entries and most of them are crap and some are just one-liners. They're so stupid. I've been stressing over school but what stresses me out all the more is not being able to lessen the pile of my "to-do". Oh, dear. 

Or maybe it's because I literally fall asleep on my readings and drool all over it. I wake up in the morning and the whole reading would stick to that "BIGGER" side of my face. Ooooh, I wonder what makes them stick. EW.

Cheerios, Papitos. I'm waiting for John, Carlo, Pong, and Anj to arrive.

IRON CHEF

I just cooked my first pancit canton! I just realized I didn't know how to boil water. I am so proud.

RRRRR

I have been such a busy bee this week (DAW). I'm in the course of "doing" my paper and I'm actually thinking of not passing it. I mean, I'd rather watch FRIENDS until I doze off. RRRRR, I don't wanna study anymore. Mother took me to iGig and shoe shopping (I took her there, rather).She picked me up from school because "naawa siya sa akin, matagal na daw ako hindi nagsh-shopping. Mukha ba akong "mukhang shopping"? HINDI. ANNNNNDDD Ta-da! Clooney has a new look. Thanks, Ma, nahiya na talaga ako. But she says that I deserve it after a week of not being able to sleep. Tignan nalang natin sa grades. Baka hindi na ako i-shopping ever! 


To pass or not to pass?!
