Obviously, here I am, blogging my last blog for 2009.
In a few hours, we''ll all be having our media noche and will be welcoming the year 2010!
I'm sure everyone's hoping for a better year ahead, and that we could all leave the not-so-good happenings for the year 2009.

I haven't been able to blog during Christmas because it was a bit busy, so I'm just gonna do it now. Luckily I was able to file my leaves for this holiday season, because I know that we'll be having a lot of "surprise schedules" or whatever you may want to call 'em for the holidays. Knowing for a fact that my mom's uncle and aunt went here from the States for the holidays, as well as my uncle and cousin. And, well, I was right.

I am proud to say that I have been able to complete the 9 days of the Simbang Gabi. =D
Although i've been going to the anticipated mass at 8pm, still, I was able to complete it. And I'm real happy that I was able to. Also, I am really happy that I was able to go to Paskuhan this year! It was really great, with the fireworks, and all of the other stars there, and the performances. I'm glad I didn't miss it, and I was able to see some of my classmates again! =D
Then last December 22, my mom and I fetched my uncle and cousin from the airport, and then bit by bit they surprised everyone, because only my aunt and my mom knew that they were gonna be spending the holidays here. Then on December 23, I had to do a super last minute shopping for my shoes and Ifor's gift. We also had a surprise birthday treat for my cousin that day. (her birthday was on December 22) Then on the 24th, we prepared for noche buena, then we had some Christmas eve shots together with the other members of the family. December 25th, we went to Pasay where we spent the whole Christmas day with the whole family on my mom's side, and with lots of fooooood. We went on the afternoon of the 25th to MOA, to do some girl bonding-slash-shopping, which was soooooo crowded, and luckily we were able to survive the mob of people there. I think I'm never going back there during Christmas day. Not unless we really need to.

December 26th was our rest day, then on the 27th, we had our family reunion, my mom and her siblings together with our cousins had lunch at home then we went to Manila Memorial Park because it was our lola's birthday. We spent the afternoon there and went straight to MOA (again) to have our dinner at Gilligan's. Then after dinner, we went around the mall, which has lesser people, and finally went home. The 28th and 29th were both supposed-to-be rest days in preparation for new year, but I went with my aunt and uncles and cousins to La Mesa Eco Park. The park was really nice, it was a nice day to just roam around and hang out, but it was tiring. Then we went to Greenhills, and Eastwood, and then went home. There's a lot more pending activities for us together with our cousin, we haven't even had our night out yet, haha.

Yesterday, the 30th, Ifor and I were finally able to see each other! The last time we saw each other was on the 20th of December, he accompanied me to MOA because I needed to buy some stuff, then because we were both busy during the holidays, we didn't know how we were to meet up. Finally, we were both free yesterday, so he went here at home, then I was finally able to give him his gift-polvoron and a headset/earphones. Luckily he agreed to come here, if not, then we were just to see each other after new year for sure. I really missed him, so I was really excited when he told me that he was to come here yesterday.
I hope 2010 will really be good for us, not just for our relationship, but for each of us as well. He'll be graduating this March, and hopefully he finds a good job after graduation, because I know he has a lot of responsibilities coming, and his dreams, most especially for his family. (hopefully i'm included...hahaha!)

We also had the family reunion on my dad's side, so we went to Bulacan to have dinner with family, and spend some time together. Then today, the 31st, I had my haircut with my mom this morning, and we bought some other stuff for later. New look for the new year, haha. I hope we'll have a good time spending new year's eve and eating the food for media noche. I even bought some fireworks for later, which I hope will be nice. And there's vodka! hahaha...

Well, this is my last blog for 2009.
Farewell 2009, Welcome 2010!
I hope we all have a whole lot better year ahead of us all. =)

okay, it's December already, and I just thought i'd do an end-of-the-year-slash-December blog or something..or that's just my excuse for just wanting to blog..=D

Today's December4, 21 days before christmas, 27 days before 2010! Can you imagine that, it seems like last week was just February, we were awaiting our thesis defense, the other day was just March and we were having our Baccalaureate Mass, and yesterady was just May and I was just starting with work. And now we're approaching a new year. Woah. Talk about fast!

But really, things have been different since I started working. I think I'm starting to understand what they say that you tend to age early or immediately when you are working. Because when you're working, or at work, time flies sooo fast. (especially when you're counting the hours/minutes to your time out) As in really fast, sometimes you'll just be surprised that the weekend's over already, and you have to work again, and then suddenly it's Friday already again. It's just so different. But I'm still missing a lot. Stuff I or we were able to do when we were still inside the UST campus.

One example is the feel of the holiday season. Compared to when I was still studying, I think it's only November but I could already feel the holiday season. That is, at school. Because you can see the maintenance people setting up the big christmas tree at the main field, or you could see them setting up lights on the trees along the lovers' lane, or they're already putting up decorations on the main building. And after classes when you walk around the campus at night, you could really feel the cool air. And you hear about christmas parties, or some other preparations for christmas activities and stuff from a lot of people around the campus or even just within our College. Compared here in our place of work, the preparations are different, simple, and there are really not that many christmas decorations outside. And yes I could still feel the cool air but I couldn't enjoy it. So see, it's just so different and how I wish I could at least still go around the campus with all the lights and christmas decorations, and even on my way home, I see a lot of lights and decorations, especially in Manila. And I'm looking forward to spending some time at night aroung the UST campus once again, before they remove the christmas decorations, haha. I just miss it. :)

We don't have christmas decorations at home yet, though kuya already set up the capiz parol outside. I hope we could put up the christmas tree at least before Simbang Gabi starts. Simbang Gabi starts on the 16th right? (15th for the anticipated mass.) Have you completed those 9 masses ever? I have, before, and I hope I could complete it again this time, just because I'd want to. It's just a different feeling when you're able to complete all the 9 masses, never mind the wish, hahaha. And I think I'll try to attend some of the masses sa madaling araw talaga, I miss going home after mass and eating newly cooked puto bumbong and bibingka for breakfast, yumyum! =D

Oh and another thing that I miss is the long holiday, I don't think it's gonna be like that here at work, or at least I could do that but I have to file my leaves pa, haha. And the Paskuhan, I don't know if I'll be able to go to this year's Paskuhan, but I do hope that I can, together with my friends and/or classmates of course. =D I'm missing a lot! Hahaha. I'm planning to buy a journal/planner. I just haven't chosen yet between the Belle de jour (not sure with the spelling, please bear with me) or the one from freespeech publications or something. The one with the "This journal will actually change someone's life!" or something. I think the Starbucks planner is just too formal for me, and besides, I'd have to spend a lot and take in a lot of calories just to be able to get that planner. =P Help me choose! Hahaha. I have to buy a planner/journal before christmas at least, baka maubusan ako, and of course i have to have that before the year ends! =P

P.S.
Regarding my previous blog, I wasn't able to go with my college friends last Saturday, we had to practice for our performance for the office christmas party on the 11th. Sayang, i hope there's still a next time. Goodness, i hope we'll do good on our performance, i'm nervous, i don't wanna mess up, hahaha.

P.P.S.
This is not an end-of-the-year blog pala, just a December blog maybe. I haven't summarized my 2009 yet e. =P

I wish I could just blog more often. But then...oh well, at least I could still blog from time to time. =))

Last Saturday, November 21, I went to Eastwood with some of my closest friends from college. That was the first time I was able to go out with them again after college. And that was the first time that I saw some of them since our graduation last March. HAHAHA. I know, ang tagal na nun!

The real purpose of that gala was to surprise Angeli. It's actually her despedida. The original plan was to watch New Moon then she will treat us or something, for her despedida nga. But since no one confirmed if they are available for Saturday, she thought that hindi na matutuloy. But Joyce thought that we could just surprise her. Fortunately, almost all of us were available that Saturday, and we were able to give Angeli a good surprise! It's so nice to surprise somebody and see that they really were surprised, hahaha.

We ate first, then decided to play sa Timezone after strolling around the new Eastwood mall, then nag-Videoke din. Inubos lang yung card sa timezone then we went home na rin. Napagod kami lahat dun sa last na nilaro namin, I can't remember what's it called, basta yung may binabato ka. And ang dami na naming bumabato, but na-fail pa rin kami ng dalawang beses, hahaha.

This Saturday, we will be watching New Moon daw, sana payagan ako, haha, because I really enjoyed their company again last Saturday, and I'm sure mag-e-enjoy din kami this coming Saturday. =D And we still have one more Timezone card para ubusin, hahaha...

*i'm looking forward to seeing my other college classmates as well! sana matuloy yung christmas party, =D*

I’ve waited 365 days for this day to arrive. It has been exactly one year that we, Ifor and I, have been together.

Very much unbelievable; very much incredible; that’s all that I can say. The way I felt when I realized that we were approaching the celebration of our first year together, the celebration of my first anniversary ever, I just couldn’t explain how excited I was. I never even thought about it that way, that we were to spend our first anniversary together like that. My first anniversary with my first ever boyfriend, my first ever relationship. I felt that we were so happy together during the past months, days, weeks, and I really couldn’t ask for anything more. We’ve shared a lot together already, and I know that there are still more to come. But I couldn’t help but notice that at least, in our first year together, we didn’t have any big problems at all. We enjoyed each other’s company, knew and learned new stuff about each other. We had some misunderstandings, some sort of petty quarrels and stuff but I think that’s normal in a relationship. But no big difficulties or whatsoever. And we’re very, very much thankful for that.

We talked about what we were going to do to celebrate our first anniversary. Of course it has to be special. It’s our day! We decided to play Bowling since it’s something that we always talked about, and that we haven't tried together. Ifor plays Bowling, though they do the duckpin instead of the 10-pin. And I told him that he should try the 10-pin sometime, and so we decided to do it during our anniversary; to be able to do something different, something we haven't done before together, something unforgettable. We met here at the office, and then we went straight to MOA and did our usual activities whenever we go there. We ate, talked about stuff, about us, about our anniversary, played arcade, and then we did the highlight of the day.

The first time we played, I think only 3 or 4 lanes were being used, so there weren’t really a lot of people. I have played 10-pin before but I’m really not that good. I just play, that’s it. He was pretty excited because it’s his first time playing 10-pin and I was excited because the last time I was able to play Bowling was last April. During the first game, he won, 91-85. At least it was a close fight! Hahaha. While we were playing, we gave each other our gifts. I gave him some homemade pastillas, which I personally did, as well as a letter. I couldn’t think of anything else to give him but I wanted it to be special and with a personal touch. It was supposed to be the scrap book, but I wasn’t able to do it. Then he gave me a card with a pop-up picture of 12 Hershey’s kisses which he personally did, which was really, really nice, and a CD with 12 songs in it. He was really worried because he couldn’t give me anything much more than the card and the CD but it really didn’t matter. Actually, those were the sweetest gifts he ever gave me because it had his own personal touch. And I like personalized gifts.

Then we took a little break, we walked around, played arcade where for the first time, we had a tie when we played air hockey, 4-4. Though some of the goals weren't counted, and technically I still won, but still, the score's a tie, haha. When we got back to the Bowling center, there were more people this time. He was sort of frustrated about his performance during the first game we had and he needed to make a comeback, or something like that, and we were both bitin with the first game, so we had a rematch. I really didn’t play well the second time, hahaha. But he did! His score was 161. And mine? 61. HAHAHA. E kasi naman, he had three strikes na magkakasunod, and I had one. Hahaha. Then after the game, I was hungry already so we looked for something to eat and after dinner, we went our separate ways again, we went home. (He didn’t forget his promise this time!)

I really didn’t want the day to end anymore. I was having so much fun, and I was enjoying myself with him. Even though we were only doing much of the same stuff that we are doing whenever we see each other, it really didn’t matter. It’s our day, it’s our anniversary, we’re together, and I think that’s all that matters. When I arrived home I wanted to immediately listen to the CD that he gave me because I was so curious of what songs are in that CD. There wasn’t a list included or anything so I really had to listen to the CD to be able to know the songs included in it. I didn’t finish the songs anymore because that was already kind of late, I just wanted to know really what the songs are. First song pa lang, it made me smile already. Kilig! Seriously! Hahaha. I mean, coming from him, and knowing that all the songs are for me, it was really sweet. The card was supposed to be the inlet for the CD, kaso it didn’t fit anymore so he didn’t put it anymore. (In the front of the card, it was written, ‘All for you’) I just smiled the whole time that I was playing the CD and I felt like my heart’s melting or something. Then after I listened to the songs, I went straight to bed and guess what…I cried! Can you imagine how happy I was feeling at that time! This is the first time ever that it’s happened to me, crying tears of joy. It felt weird actually, because I was smiling all the while and then I just cried. Hahaha.

But I never thought that it could actually happen to me. Or at least that he could do it, or at least that it would happen at that time. It was just a different experience for me and thanks to him! He didn’t need to do anything super special or super bongga to make me feel like that. Now I’m looking forward to all that could still happen and all that we could still share together.

*if you haven't watched the movie yet, I warn you, there might be some spoilers for you in this post...*


We were able to watch Michael Jackson's This is it yesterday on its first showing day. Of course a lot of people waited for this movie, and I say, it is really worth watching. Just like other MJ concerts, opening pa lang bongga na. The lightings for the opening of the concert were amazing. Of course his performances here were really not super energetic, but what the hell, I didn't care, this is MJ performing, and even though it was just their rehearsals, still I enjoyed watching him perform. He still gave it all though, and his moves were still the same and he sang his songs just like how he had sung them before. All I could do while watching the movie was to smile. If I could only dance or yell inside the movie house, I would. But everyone else inside the movie house was so focused when the movie started, and everyone was real quiet, paying much attention to the movie. It was really great seeing him perform after so many years that he wasn't able to, even if it wasn't even live or in a real concert.

I thought that the people with him during their rehearsals, his dancers, back-up singers,
those included in the band, and all the people in their rehearsal area were really lucky.
They were able to spend time with Michael before he passed away. (If he really did?) They
were able to get a feel how to work with him, and I’m sure they were able to know him a bit more than just the Michael Jackson that they see on the television. And it makes me think, why did he really die? I mean, what's the real cause?? Because if you would watch or have watched the movie, you will see how great he was while onstage. He was always energetic. You wouldn't see a hint that he was so exhausted already. He just continued to rehearse and rehearse. He performed like there were real audiences watching him. He still had his moves, his signature moves, and it shows how much he is enjoying what he's doing and how excited he is for the concert. Even if he had Kenny Ortega, or the other people working with him for the concert, he was hands on. He wanted the best for the concert, and he wanted it the way he used to do it. He wanted it perfect. The sounds, the choreography, the lights, everything. He wanted his fans to enjoy and have the time of their lives when they watch the concert. (Kahit rehearsals pa nga lang nag-enjoy na yung mga dancers niya while watching, what more if it was on an actual concert.) And while watching him perform, I felt envious of the people he was always with. I wanted to be there too. I felt like I wanted to hug him or something, coz he was so great. Maybe that's how his super avid fans felt, although on a much more intense level. But I also had mixed feelings, I wanted to feel bad for him because of what happened to him, but then I was feeling glad because the This is it movie was really great, and I was with my best guy, ha-ha.

He sang some of his most famous songs. Billie Jean, Beat it, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Jam, They don't really care about us, I just can't stop loving you, Earth song, Man in the mirror, Black or white, and many more, and even some Jackson 5 songs. (I can't remember the other songs, what did I miss?) And they had the original choreographies of course, as well as the original narration from the Thriller and the creepy laugh, which made it more exciting, like a blast from the past. Michael still wanted it old school, like how it used to be. They shot some short films (like what was in his music videos) for Smooth Criminal, Thriller, and Earth song. It was really great, and the set for the concert was really amazing. They had a really big stage, and like they wanted to relive his concerts before, they had the part where Michael was riding the cherry picker or whatever that was called. If you've watched some of his concerts, you will see that, the part where he was standing on something like a scaffolding and it was moved over the audience, and there was wind under it. It was so cool seeing how they were doing it again. They even showed in the movie the part where Michael was singing the Earth song, and how a bulldozer would enter the stage and how it looked like it was going to eat Michael but it stopped just right behind him. It was wild, but it shows how much planning they've put into it, and how much they really wanted to give everyone an amazing concert, something like they've never seen before. While they were doing everything, the rehearsals, the shoots, you could also see that Michael was really enjoying, and that everyone wanted to do all that they can to contribute and help to make the perfect concert for Michael Jackson. And Michael, on the other hand, was also helping in a way by correcting everyone and telling them to do this, and that, so that it would be better, and in a very nice way. Great artist, great, great person, really.

At the end of the movie while the credits were rolling, his newly released song, This is
it, was playing. It was a nice song, and it would've been nice if he was able to perform it
for his fans, live. Super sayang. Super. I wish I were able to enjoy his music while he was
still alive. Well, I enjoyed some of it, but now I feel like I miss him. Like I missed a
lot now that he is gone. It's just now that I’m really seeing just how much of an
incredible artist he really is, nobody could take that away from him, even if they say that
he is very much eccentric or weird, he still is and will always be Michael Jackson. The
artist who gave us a lot of number one hits, the artist who started out so young and yet he
was able to survive his career and music for so many years, the artist who had so many
different ideas for all his music videos making them very enjoyable and very unique. I
couldn't say anything more.

Michael Jackson is one of a kind. Not just a great artist, but a very remarkable and enjoyable person as well. He was always for the love. He wanted the best for his fans, for everyone. It would've been a huge comeback for him, that concert. But, all we could enjoy right now are the rehearsals for the concert that will never be. At least they were able to shoot some parts of the rehearsals for the concert, it's something worth watching, kahit paulit-ulit, I would never get tired watching it. And kahit paulit-ulit din ako makinig sa songs niya, I would also never get tired listening to them. But whenever I see him dance, or hear him sing, all I could wish for is just, hay, how I wish he was still alive. So I advice you guys, go, watch the movie, you won't regret it. =D

*I still got hangover from the movie...listening to Michael's songs while writing this
blog...that's how much I enjoyed watching it...=))*

*i was browsing thru my profile and i noticed this: 20 years old. OMG, i'm 21 na nga pala! hahahaha*

Finally, finally a new blog post! Been a while right? Well after all the typhoons have passed, I guess it's just right to start something new again, and start a new blog!

Can you believe how fast time flies? It feels like yesterday was only September, and now today it's October 11! And speaking of October 11, today is our 11th month anniversary. I'm really really very happy because of course I'm happy we're getting stronger as the days pass by, and that we're already at our 11th month! And within a month, we'll be celebrating our first ever anniversary. Would you look at that.

Let me share to you what we did today.
Actually, today is my mom's birthday celebration. (her birthday was last October 9) Since it's our monthsary as well, of course we wanted to see each other. (after two weeks!) so I asked my mom if I could invite Ifor over at our house and she said it's fine, so of course I'm relieved! haha. Anyway, we started the day by hearing a mass together, been a while since we last did that, then we looked for some dog food, for Ifor's dogs, and then went home and waited for my mom's guests. Actually it's just some relatives, nothing big of a party really, just a simple celebration here at home. And of course I got the chance to spend the whole day with Ifor! He even assisted us when we prepared for the surprise for my mom and my cousin whose birthday is on October 16. We just spent some time talking, eating, eating, talking, hahaha. Nothing that special but we got to spend the day together and we got to see each other!

He went home after we ate dinner. I just so love this day as well because all the things that I requested him to do, he did them all! Heehee. =P First was the mass, i asked him if we could go to mass together and he said yes. Then when he was about to go home, he was supposed to go with my aunt which happens to live in Antipolo, and they could drop him off over at Marikina, but I asked him to stay and wag na lang sumabay with my Aunt, and he stayed! haha. I just so love it, and i feel so lucky, and loved, haha.

Well, of course the day didn't end without some you-know-what-cheesy-stuff in it. =P
I'm just really very happy right now. =D
Thank you pb very very much!
And really, I'm looking forward to our next celebration, and to more celebrations!
I love you, i love you, i love you! ♥

*malapit na mag 1 year old si yoshi!*

*blogging just for the purpose of blogging*

I really have nothing to say, I just thought I’d want to post something today. How’s the world been? How are you? Yes, you, the one reading this blog. HAHAHA. Is it so obvious that I really can’t write anything sensible here right now? Hay.

Anyway, today’s Thursday, which means that tomorrow’s gonna be Friday! (yeah, as if that wasn’t really obvious) Well of course I’m excited, it’s the last day of the week! And there’s gonna be a birthday celebration at the office after office hours so that’s gonna be great, I get to see my friends over there at LBP. (LBP/Landbank is where the other Tera office is located, it's in Pedro Gil i think; wish I was located there, hahaha.) And I get to go to work later than the usual. (err, hopefully? haha)

I’m so bored at the office. I can’t talk to anybody, as in real talk, you know, speak. HAHAHA. That sounds weird. I’m so quiet at the office, I’m not used to it, really. Everything’s just through chat, we only speak from time to time, hahaha. And that chat is just through local network, we don't have Internet, BOO! Actually, I wrote this blog while at the office. Because I wasn’t in the mood yet to work, so I just wrote this blog. And besides, I’m almost done with what I’m doing, so I just let the time pass and do what I need to do a bit later so that I’ll have something to do until my time out.

This weekend, Ifor will be going to Boracay. (together with his mom and his mom’s officemates, and his sister) I’m so freakin’ jealous! Hahaha. Alex, a college classmate, will be going to Boracay as well! (together with his officemates) I wish I could have some time to go out of town as well. Preferably with my friends, so that it’ll be more fun, but if not, my family would be just as perfect as well. I just want some relax time too. And a good out of town trip would be perfect! Tagaytay would do! And besides, it’s the nearest that we could go to, that would still be a nice out of town trip. I wonder when I’ll be able to do that. Hopefully soon. And what sucks more with Ifor’s trip to Boracay, is that there’s no signal there, which means I won’t be able to talk to him, for 2-3 days. Ugh, not cool. Though I asked him for pasalubong, hahaha. But still, I got used to talking to him everyday! Oh well, I’ll just have to make tiis for 2-3 days. GOOD LUCK. >.<

*I had a bad dream, well, not really super bad, but still, it wasn’t a good dream. I wonder why I dreamt about that, tsktsktsk. Oh well, IT’S JUST A DREAM.*

*this post is just a spur of the moment post; i just want to share my September 11*

'Twas our 10th month anniversary. Yay for us! At least we're going a sort of long way already, and i'm really happy about that, and our relationship is really so far so good! Kahit na we don't always see each other, we still get to talk everyday, and we still get to keep our relationship going strong.

After more than 2 weeks of not seeing each other, (i know, matagal!) we decided that we meet up on the day of our monthsary. Just to celebrate the day together, and especially to see each other. Supposedly we were to meet up early but due to some unprecedented or unwanted circumstances, we weren't able to. I was starting to get pissed, but, i just thought, oh well, at least we're still gonna see each other. And voila! when he arrived, i couldn't help but smile. I just can't stop smiling! Even though i told myself i was to act as if i'm so pissed at him. I guess i just missed him too badly already.

So we went to MOA, as usual, and we ate, walked around, the usual stuff that we do. We just spent time together, and we're already happy like that. At least we're together right? And we felt how much we missed each other. We didn't even notice that it was already getting late, and it was time to go home already.

When i arrived home, there was a surprise for me. There's this notebook where we write some letters for each other, and i wrote something for him, and then he gave it back but i didn't want to have it. Then that's why he didn't want to take it too, because he wrote something there for me, while i was playing dance maniax. =D

The letter/message was simple, but very very meaningful and sweet. It meant a lot to me, kahit ilang lines lang yun and kahit simple lang talaga siya. Natuwa talaga ako. And, as i've told him, at the end of the day, he still made my day, he still made me happy, and he made me sleep smiling, for real! 'Twas really sweet. =D

I love him so much! That i'm very sure of.
And...i miss him already. ♥

Today is September 9, 2009. 09-09-09.
How was your day?
Obviously, it’s been a while since my last blog post, and I just think it’s about time that I create a new one. For a lot has happened already since then.

Event #1:
August 26, 2009 was ifor’s 23rd birthday. Nothing special really, he wasn’t even sure if he were to celebrate it or not. I mean, you know, have a small celebration at home, invite friends and family over, nothing fancy, just to be able to celebrate his birthday. I thought he was seriously not going to celebrate it anymore, but he changed his mind. Besides, I was persistent that he change his mind, that he have a celebration, even just a small one, haha. He decided to do it the Sunday after his birthday, since that was a long weekend because Monday was declared a holiday. But before that, I was also persistent that we see each other on his birthday; just because it’s his birthday, and of course I want to greet him in person. Not just thru text or a phone call, I want it to be in person. And of course, I wanted to see him, hahaha. Anyway, he wasn’t also sure of that, because of some “unavoidable” circumstances. But still, we or rather he was able to make it happen. We were still able to see each other on the day of his birthday, and he was even wearing the t-shirt I gave him! =D He thought that I was going to give him something, that’s why I was so persistent that we meet up. But even before we met up, he already got his gift. I asked a friend/classmate of ours (who happened to be very very nice to agree, thanks Raged!!) if he could give it to him, because at least, even if we won’t be able to meet up, he would still get his gift on the day of his birthday. =D We did nothing special really, sabi nga niya, parang the usual na pagkikita lang namin. Well it didn’t matter, and I didn’t mind, because at least, I saw him, I was able to greet him; we were still able to at least celebrate his birthday. But, there’s a big BUT. I asked for permission from my parents if I could go to his birthday celebration at their house, of course. Unfortunately, they didn’t approve of it, or rather my mom, initially, didn’t really approve of it. And told me, na isama ko daw si kuya kung gusto ko talaga magpunta. And that’s what my dad also told me, if I wanted to go, isama ko daw si kuya. I was just so disappointed upon hearing that, I even cried, haha. It’s just that, it’s just a birthday party. And I know na may lakad si kuya that Sunday kaya baka hindi niya rin ako masamahan, so it ended up na hindi ako makakapunta. They’re so traditional really. AS IN. well, siyempre I couldn’t do anything but just say yes. Who am I na magreklamo pa, mag-away lang kami, sabi nga ni Ifor, baka daw sa pagpipilit ko pati sa kanya magalit parents ko, and we might even end up breaking up. So I just let it pass, and I was very very apologetic to Ifor, because I know he wants me to be there, as much as I want to be there as well. And I was very sad as well.

Event #2:
Adding to that sadness from knowing that I won’t be able to go to Ifor’s birthday celebration, last August 28, 2009, something happened, something tragic and very sad. My paternal grandmother died that Friday morning. (My dad’s mom, and the only grandparent I have left) It was very very shocking because it was so sudden, and just the Wednesday before that, my mom was with her, and the Sunday before that, we were with her because the Sunday before that was her daughter’s (my tita’s) birthday celebration. And there wasn’t any hint that that event would happen. I woke up that Friday morning, made a call to my mom, and right then and there she told me that lola Inang was gone. Namumugto pa mga mata ko that morning from crying the day before, which nahalata pala ni mama, hahaha. Anyway, it was just so sad, I wasn’t in the mood to go to work anymore but I still did, nag-half day na lang ako. And we spent the rest of the days (for the wake) going back and forth from Las Piñas to Bulacan, and vice versa. (wala kasi kaming matutulugan sa Bulacan kaya we have to go home rin) I didn’t go to work during the whole wake up to the day that she was buried. But, the nice thing there, me and my cousins were able to have our bonding times.

Event #3:
But, the nice thing there, me and my cousins were able to have our bonding times. September 2 happened to be one of my cousin’s birthday, and so we had a little celebration for her, my dad bought ice cream and there was also a cake for her. And speaking of my dad, he was able to come home for his mom’s wake and burial. My dad’s two other brothers were also able to come home, so it was a little family reunion as well. And then, September 3, was my other cousin’s birthday. That was the day of the burial. After the burial, when we were all home, my cousin invited us to dinner, at SM Marilao Shakey’s (with the very entertaining kuya there, I wasn’t able to remember his name, haha). And so we went there, puro bata, cousins only, haha. It was good na rin because of course everyday we were there at my lola’s wake, it was tiring too, we were all not able to sleep well, and at least we were able to sort of unwind a bit after a tiring week (especially for me, kuya, and mama!). We also had some Kodak moments after the burial, and even at the church. (the one in the church was really weird)

I used that title because all of these events were really unexpected. Right?
And of course just a little update of what has happened after my last blog post.
*looking forward to Friday! yay!*

Nonoy’s running for the Presidential position, are you going to vote for him?
I think I would. =P

Finally, finally a new post! After all the buzzing about a former president's death, about some new great movies, about some new happenings, here I am, blogging again.

First of all, I want to share to all of you, I was at Cory's funeral as well. I already saw the cortege but I still went to her funeral at the Manila Memorial Park. Well, we were there even just for the truck carrying her remains. My mom, tito, and tita were there early morning, at around 9am, and me and my brother followed them at around lunch time. 'Twas an adventure really, haha. When we arrived at the Manila Memorial Park, there were a loooooot of people already outside. Nakipagsiksikan na lang kami para makaabot hanggan dun sa may gate. People weren't really letting us through, saying that they've been there for hours already, and that we shouldn't force ourselves into the front. Kung sila nga daw hindi makapasok, kami pa daw kaya. E may mga kasama nga kami sa loob, buti na lang hindi ako nagtaray sa kanila, haha. Then we waited inside the Manila Memorial until around 8:30pm when the funeral procession finally arrived. Then we just watched the rites on the big screen placed inside the Manila Memorial Park. And of course, there were a loooooot of people. Luckily when we went home there was no traffic.

What else could I write here? hmm..
Me and Ifor celebrated our 9th monthsary last August 11.♥
Actually, before we celebrated that, we weren't okay, well, he wasn't okay with me, haha. Because I did something stupid, but not intentionally, promise! I was kinda nervous when the 11th came, because we were going to meet up and I wasn't sure if he's okay already,or how we're gonna spend the day together if he's not yet okay. Fortunately, kind of showing me how much he loved me as well (cheesy! haha), I really didn't have to do anything just for him to be okay. And that made my day. Plus the fact that he really looked good that night, or I just really did miss him a lot. HAHAHA.

Haven't watched The Proposal yet, but I really really really want to see it! and also My Sister's Keeper. I've watched Up though, and it was really very very cute, haha. It was sweet, very touching, and very fun to watch. And we watched it on 3D! haha. Watched it with Ifor yesterday, the 'terno day'. He wore violet too because I was going to wear a violet shirt, and when we met up, he was wearing his white rubber shoes, and I was wearing my white sandals, those weren't on purpose, hahaha. We just enjoyed the day together, we even saw his tita, cousin, and sister there at SM Marikina. Yes, we met up at SM Marikina, far right? haha. Then we went to my tita's place in Antipolo, actually it's just near Masinag, because I was going to stay there for the night. Just arrived home tonight actually.

And some bad news, well, for me and some other OTH fans. Hilarie and Chad won't be playing Peyton and Lucas anymore for OTH's season 7. It SUCKS, big time! What would OTH be without them?! Urgh. Oh well, I haven't seen yet the characters who would be replacing them. But still, I like the original Lucas and Peyton. After their super sweet moments in season 6 and now they're gone for season 7?! tsktsktsk. I just hope OTH will still be as worth watching as when Hilarie and Chad were there. Because for sure it would be super different, than the previous seasons.

BTW, i've got a twitter account already, haha.
And still one party to go to tomorrow night, in West Ave., my tita and tito's double birthday celebration.
Hope it would be fun.
And another thing, his birthday's coming up! =D
And soon we'll be in double digits already.=D

Good night. IMYA ♥
:)

yes, i was there..
i can say that i was there..
i was standing at the corner of gil puyat and chino roces avenues, waiting for the cortege of former president corazon aquino to pass by gil puyat avenue..
i saw something that could be part of history once again..

i was thinking twice if i was going to go out of the office to go and see the cortege itself, because i have work, and hindi ako pwedeng lumabas ng matagal because it wasn't part of the break..but it was just near (gil puyat/buendia), i just have to walk a bit under the heat of the sun, and i can see it clearly..
and wala namang makakapansin, i just had to be quick..

i was watching the live streaming, that was anc i think,,the last i heard was that the cortege was already at ayala avenue..and then after that, i didn't know where it was anymore, so i thought maybe it already passed by, maybe i'm not going to see it anymore, maybe i just have to watch the news when i get home..
maybe,,

then i heard an interview with makati mayor jejomar binay and he said that the tail end of the procession was nasa may RCBC pa..so i told myself, okay, i'm going out, bahala na kung may abutan ako o wala..i really didn't mind walking kahit ang init sa labas..
while i was walking toward gil puyat, i saw a man run toward gil puyat,,i was thinking of running too because i thought maybe the cortege is already there,,at baka hindi ko abutan..but i didn't of course...instead i just did some brisk walking, and prayed na sana may abutan ako, kahit yung likod lang ng truck na sinasakyan ng remains ni cory okay na, basta may abutan lang ako..may makita lang ako..

and i made it,,
the cortege was just about to pass by..i was going to be able to see the whole procession..
the procession was slowed down maybe because of all the people in the middle of the street waiting and wishing to have a last glimpse of the former president before she is brought to the manila cathedral today, and laid to rest on wednesday..
the procession was lead by police cars, and a small truck playing a song that i don't know the title of,,the truck was also full of people in yellow flashing the 'laban' sign and carrying some flags bearing ninoy's face..there were also some walking in front of the procession carrying the 'atom' flags..


then i saw some of cory's relatives, mikee cojuangco was there, as well as one of mikee's sisters, then i also saw james yap and a guy that i think is the husband of one of cory's daughters..people were flashing the laban sign, and confetti was being poured over gil puyat avenue as cory's remains passed by..people were also shouting and calling on cory as if telling her that 'cory, we're here for you'..people were also waving yellow ribbons and some that were formed like a 'pom-pom'...
the truck where cory was, was so full of beautiful flowers..white and yellow flowers adorned the truck around cory's casket..
(and there were also representatives from the marines, the navy, the military, and the air force..)
then the truck was followed by coasters carrying the rest of cory's family and friends..
people, in their own ways, tried to honor at least for the last time, the former president, who has done wonders for this country..
as for me, all i could say was, farewell, cory, rest in peace, thank you...


as the truck passed by in front of me, i had goosebumps, and i was so overwhelmed because for a fact, a former president is there, in front of me..well, literally, her coffin bearing her remains was in front of me, but still she's there..a president that became president even before i was born.,a woman who fought bravely for her people..for the country's freedom, for democracy..i was watching a cory special last night in abs-cbn and all i could say while watching the show was 'wow, ang tapang tapang niya'..
saying that she really is so great would i think be an understatement...
it was like i was able to see and feel for myself a small glimpse of how the EDSA revolution in 1986 was...

and while the truck passed by among us all there along gil puyat avenue, while confetti was being showered upon cory, a strong wind blew, and then it was gone..as if it was cory saying thank you to everyone..the sun also hid for a moment while cory passed by, as if mourning with all the people along the streets for the loss of such a great and wonderful woman..


well i could say that i was able to see cory..i was able to see a president..
sadly, it was cory's,the former president's cortege..
it would have been better if it was really her in person, waving at you, smiling, flashing the laban sign probably,,
but it wasn't..
it was time for her to leave,,she has done all that she could for our country, for us all..
she has done a lot...
she was done with her mission..
now she is needed up there,,
she will look down upon us all, and for sure she will still continue praying for us all, and for peace in this country,,

thank you, cory, thank you for all that you've done for the filipino people, and for the entire country..

thank you for being an inspiration, a model, a great leader,,
thank you just for being a wonderful person..
you've touched the hearts and the lives of many, and forever you will never be forgotten..

*i wasn't able to take pictures of the cortege, i left my phone at the office, i don't know why i didn't bring it with me*

*random thoughts*

just the other day, i thought, maybe everything really happens for a reason.
kasi whenever there's something not good that is happening, i usually tell myself, 'ok lang yan, everything happens for a reason'..i even use/tell this line to my friends.
and, as i've said, just the other day, i told myself this line again.
why?
coz i've been thinking again about my present struggle..actually it's not that of a big deal i think, but to me it still is, coz it's not really easy for me...or i'm really not yet that used to it.
anyway..
i've been thinking again about how me and ifor are so far away from each other, that we don't get to spend that much time together,,and how time runs so fast whenever we're together! (haha)
and then that's when i thought, maybe everything really happens for a reason..
and, whenever God gives you problems or challenges, He gives them to you because He knows you can survive it, right?
so I thought as well, maybe He gave me this challenge because He knows well that I can survive it..
i mean, think about it, we can see each other anytime we want, i mean, we're legal at home, we're legal at their place, wala namang problema pag nagpapaalam ako na siya ang kasama ko. kilala din naman siya nila mama..but the problem is our distance, and some other circumstances, that's why we can't really spend a lot of time together that much,,
while for others, they're not legal, but they're so near each other, and can see each other anytime they want as well, maybe even everyday! but not freely, you know, it's limited, or something.
and of course it gave me a good feeling again that, well, yeah, i can survive this, i can be stronger than this, than what i am right now..
ako lang din naman ang nagpapaisip sa sarili ko, i know, pero i just can't help but not think about it..
well yeah, okay, at least we get to see each other at least once a week..
actually nagugulat nga ang mga tao, pag nalalaman nila na siya taga-marikina, and ako las piñas pa..
ang hirap daw siguro nun...haynako, kung alam lang nila! hahaha...
so, there, naisip ko na lang ulit, everything happens for a reason..and it helps me e, i mean thinking about this quote, it helps to stop thinking about certain stuff..
what we have right now or what's happening right now has a reason, i may not know what the reason is, pero it has a reason for sure..
and may point nga rin sila, na baka nga masyado kayong magkasawaan pag super dalas niyo magkasama, kaso kulang pa rin yung once a week e, hahaha..=P ok lang sana kung once a week tapos whole day, e kaso hindi e..minsan lang ung whole day e, =P (dapat kasi parehas na lang kaming marikina, or LP, haha)
but really, i'm doing my best to not fret too much about it..
mas mahirap pag laging iniisip, kaso pano ko hindi iisipin? any suggestions? =))
and another thing, at least i get to talk to him everyday over the phone..(buti nalang hindi long distance ang tawag)

-gusto ko mag dance maniax ulit
-kulang ang oras, at pagkakataon, hahaha
-at least we got to see each other yesterday! kahit sabi ko no dates for this week..=D well it wasn't really a date,,but i don't care, hahaha...=P

last week, was such a rainy week, seriously! hahaha...
too much rain, but thanks to that, we were able to go home early last friday, yay! =D

'twas my first time to be late for work last thursday...that was the day na nung magising ako ay sobrang lakas na ng ulan...
that was also the day na magkikita kami ni ifor after our monthsary..i planned on going to work early, so that i could go out early as well, but then, because of the rain, i wasn't able to, my mom stopped me nung papasok nako, sumabay na daw ako sa pinsan ko paglabas niya..then my cousin called me, and ihahatid na lang daw siya ni bryan, her boyfriend, so sabi niya kung gusto ko daw sumabay, sabay na ko sa kanila..actually i was kind of pissed na nun kasi nga i was thinking of going to work early tapos hindi ako makakapasok ng maaga so baka late na ko makauwi, but, sabi nga ni mama, mga 8 na kasi kami makakaalis ng bahay nun, gusto ko naman daw magpalate, so naisip ko, kung malelate ako, maaga ako makaka-out, 5pm pa lang pwede na, so ok na rin..
'twas a blessing in disguise na rin, hahaha...na-traffic pa kami,of course because of the rain, so mas matagal din ang travel time...we arrived here sa office at around 9:25 am, so hindi pa ko late, kasi later than 9:30 am ang late..anong ginawa ko? tumambay ako sa cr, ginawa ko na lahat ng pwedeng gawin para lang ma-late ako, hahaha...
so there, i was late, and i was able to get out of work early na rin..=P

ifor and i met up sa MOA, as usual...'twas still early so we decided to go to timezone first, then just eat after..
before thursday came, i already told him that i wanted to talk to him, like a serious talk or something, like not our usual conversation..so he said ok, let's do it on thursday then..and so while we were eating, or after we've finished the twister fries, hahaha, he said what did you want to ask me? or tell me? so i asked him everything that i can think of..random stuff really, but there were some really interesting things there, hahaha...well it's all good..
it's nice to have a conversation like that from time to time..
actually, i think my real purpose for that talk, was that i wanted to know him more..i wanted to know more things about him..
i just wanted to know who he really is, or what was he like before..i just felt like i still have a lot of things na hindi ko pa nalalaman bout him..at least now nadagdagan na ang information ko about him, hahahaha...parang imbestigador lang, =P
pero siyempre diba, it's always nice to know a lot of stuff about your partner, your bf/gf,,,it helps na mas makilala mo sila...=D

then yesterday, we watched Harry Potter 6..muntik na kaming hindi matuloy, coz of some circumstances, hahaha...
well at least, we were still able to watch, =D and we were able to see each other ulit..and we were able to spend some time together ulit..at, may katabi na naman kaming batang maingay,,sabi niya kay dumbledore, 'nasan na yung matanda?' gah!! hahaha...
then her mom's phone wasn't in silent mode, then it rang, then she answered it, at nakipagusap pa talaga! gosh,hahaha...nakakabaliw...=P
then it was time to go home,,'twas time to part ways, again..
then when i arrived sa bahay, dinala naman si mama sa hospital..but now she's doing okay..so much for yesterday..

*forgive me, for the mushiness and cheesiness of this post, again*

today is our 8th month anniversary..
we did nothing extravagant or anything..
we just stayed at my place, watched tv, watched his michael jackson dvd, played the sudoku game i bought him, watched the uaap opening, ate, talked, laughed, nothing special,,but the day is special, really..

'twas really fun actually..
kahit nasa bahay lang talaga kami at wala lang yung mga ginawa namin..
haha..it's been a while rin na nagpunta siya dito sa bahay..
buti na lang saturday ngayon, wala kami parehas pasok, kaya we just spent the day here at home..
sayang nga he wasn't able to stay much longer, he has a bowling game kasi tonight, so he had to go home early..

but it was okay, i spent my whole day with him,,feeling ko maikli lang, parang ang bilis, pero matagal na rin yun...=P
the moment i woke up, he was already here..=D
it was the best morning/best wake up i had, ever..so far..=P
siyempre naman, gigising ako tapos siya agad makikita ko diba? what more could i ask for..=P

i ate lunch with him..ate merienda with him..yun nga lang wala nang dinner, hahaha...
i surprised him with the sudoku game, and the pair keychain..=D
still it was really great, yun nga lang i wasn't able to do yung plan ko, pero ok lang, it can wait..
and of course, this day wouldn't be complete without some sweetness in it..♥

i just had one of the most special and fun saturdays ever..
looking forward to more fun and sweet days..=D

i love you pb!
♥

*REPOST, i think this is cute..=D*

*got this from facebook*


We guys don't care if you talk to other guys

We don't care if you're friends with other guys.

But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.

It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.

We don't care if a guy calls or texts

but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m.

That it can't wait till the morning.

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/

cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.

Don't tell us we're wrong.

We'll stop trying to convince you.

The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.

Yeah, you can quote me.

Don't be mad when we hold the door open.

Take Advantage of the mood im in.

Let us pay for you!

dont 'feel bad'

We enjoy doing it.

It's expected.

Smile and say 'thank you.

Kiss us when no one's watching.

If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed.

You don't have to get dressed up for us.

If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to

wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.

We like you for who you are and not what you are.

Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's.

or my tshirt and boxers, not all dolled up.

Don't take everything we say seriously.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.

Don't get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your bible.

Don't talk about how hott Chris Brown,

Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.

It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word 'handsome'/'beautiful'

i'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me

with 'Hey handsome!' instead of 'Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy' or whatever else you can think of.

On the other hand im not sayin i woulndnt like it ether ; )

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change!!!!!

Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population

and find someone who will treat you with utter respect

Someone who will honor your morals.

Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.

Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.

Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.

Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....and say 'i love you' ..and actually mean it.

Give the nice guys a chance.

Guys repost this if you agree.

Girls repost this if you think it's cute.

Every Guy who isn't a jerk will agree with this,

so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this.

ADVICE:

*Holding Hands

Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of

times.

*Movies

Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder

Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.

*Loving each other

Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her

too... And mean it.

*Laying below the stars

Girls: When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat

Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.

Girls, repost this as: Written by a guy ♥

Boys, repost this as: Girls need to realize.. ♥

yesterday, while i was on my way home, i heard this song by Air Supply..
Two Less Lonely People..
i heard it habang pasakay ako ng shuttle sa MOA..
then, pagsakay ko nung shuttle, dun sa sinakyan kong shuttle, pinatugtog din siya, hahaha....
wala lang, when i heard the song, may naalala lang ako...

just recently, i became a member of a forum site..
Digital Mabuhay, as what they call it..
it is a forum site dedicated for pinoys around the world, haha..
actually it's till kind of new, ang onti pa lang ng members..
naimpluwensiyahan lang ako mag-forums, kaya ayun, nag-forums ako, hahaha..

well it's pretty ok naman, you get to share your opinion with other people, and you get to see other people's opinions as well..
there are a lot of topics already, about local and foreign news/showbiz, emotions, sports, hobbies, and a lot more...

try to visit the site, click here!
register na din kayo,,
but i tell you, warning, it may become addictive, hahaha...
lalo na kung wala kayong magawa, naghahanap kayo ng ibang magagawa sa net...
this could be a suggestion...

don't worry, it depends naman sa'yo if you'll be addicted to it or not, yung tipong hindi ka mapakali kapag hindi ka nakapag-forums for one day, haha...
hindi pa naman ako ganun,,=P

enjoy =P

if you read my previous post, i wrote there something like 'new challenges'...
you may ask why? what's with the new challenge? well, marami..

una, siyempre sa office, new challenge lagi pag may bagong binibigay na task...
pero ok lang, kaya naman yun...=)

this other one is i think hindi na rin bago..
the LDR challenge...Long Distance Relationship..
kasi last week, napag-usapan namin ni ifor na medyo matagal ulit bago kami magkita..*pero hindi rin nangyari, haha*
pero still, maaari siyang mangyari, na matagal before kami ulit magkita..e siyempre nasanay na ako na nagkikita kami every week talaga, as in..
new challenge kasi maaaring mas matagal before kami magkita ulit..
nung una nalungkot ako talaga, kasi hindi na ko sanay, but then again, naisip ko, kaya ko naman..
mamimiss ko siya, oo, lagi naman e, pero kaya naman...kaya ok lang...
tsaka ok lang din, as long as ok naman kami, and yun nga, nakakapag-usap naman kami every night,,so ok lang din..magkalayo man kami physically, hindi naman emotionally, or mentally..
=P

another one is, bagong laro..
yesterday i went out with my officemates, nag market market kami, and we played laser tag..=D
ang saya nung game, parang may pagka-airsoft..basta nakakatuwa siya, mas masaya pag marami kayo na naglalaro and pag hindi niyo kilala yung kalaban niyo..samahan mo na rin ng bading na tuwing matatag siya e todo sigaw/tili sa pag-react, hahaha..buti na lang sumama ako..
kundi mamimiss ko ang saya na yun...sa uulitin! =D

kaso, medyo nabadtrip din ako, kasi, it's still the issue ng pag-uwi ko ng late, or ng pagiging babae ko, haha..after kasi maglaro, dinner pa dapat, nakapag-order na and everything, kaya lang unexpectedly e kinailangan ko nang umuwi, kaya ayun, di na ko nakapag-dinner, my gerry's grill turned into a mcdonald's meal, hahaha...
nakapag-mcdo nga ako, hindi ko naman na-enjoy..
ayun, nakakainis lang, hindi ako makagala ng walang magagalit or walang magtetext sakin na umuwi ka na..ang hirap..para akong hindi 21, para akong walang work..
ayan na naman, nagrarant na naman ako na hindi nagbabago every time na mangyayari to..
dito, masasabi ko, what's new..hay..

anyway, at least i enjoyed the laser tag..
next time ulit!

it's the start of a new day, a new week, new challenges...

early morning and here i am blogging, sa office! haha..
don't have anything to do..yet..so i'm gonna use this time to make singit writing this blog...

last saturday, was my niece's birthday, happy birthday dei! haha..
i also had a simple celebration at home for my birthday..relatives and close friends were invited..
*sori naman sa hindi ko na-invite,=D*

mejo nabadtrip pa nga ako the day before that, kasi ang onti ng makakapunta from my friends, tapos hindi pa lahat sa relatives na ininvite ko e makakapunta, so ayun, sabi ko sayang naman, akala ko pa naman maraming makakapunta, e hindi rin pala,,
hindi ko na lang ininis pa lalo ang sarili ko, at inabangan ko na lang ung mga bisita ko, at nagenjoy ako kasama sila...
*thanks sa lahat ng pumunta!*

ayun, ang dami ring food, pero parang naubos din ata,,haha..ang saya maghanda pero ang gastos,,*whew*
late pa yung mga bisita ko, aynaku, haha..pero ok lang, at least nga nakapunta sila...
i also received a birthday gift from ifor..a really really big card, na may birthday messages for me, from my college friends and classmates, and yung mga NFFs ko dito sa office ngayon..=D it was really very thoughtful and very sweet..computerized pa tapos dinikit niya isa isa, basta, effort talaga...*thank you ulit pb!*
at ayun, yun pala yung dahilan nung mysterious emails na natanggap ko, haha..

then ayun, dahil gusto kong matikman ang ever famous ngayon na the bar, bumili kami ng the bar, yung vodka, isang bote lang naubos namin, pero dalawa yung binili ko..kasi 6 na lang kaming natira na uminom..akalain niyong uminom ako! hahaha...e tapos ayun, hindi na rin kaya, si raged may isa pang inuman, kelangan na rin umalis, kaya inubos na lang talaga namin yung isa, at least naubos, haha..
and masarap nga siya, siyempre may lasang orange, haha..ayos naman..=D
*jam ang lakas mo pala uminom!!!*

so far so good..the celebration was great *until it was time for uwian na =(*,,
buti na lang nakarating ang mga people, lalo na yung mga malayo ang pinanggalingan, thanks guys..=D

belated happy birthay dei (june 27) and ate quelly & july (june 28)
=D

happy birthday to me!
=D

of course i have to post something about this day!
hahaha..di ko ata palalampasin to..
siguro i'll just share to you guys how i spent my 21st birthday...

i started the day by hearing mass early in the morning..
well, it has always been like that, for the past 21 years? haha..
basta, i have never spent a birthday na hindi ako nagsimba..
then, my mom and i ate sa jabi for our breakfast..*hindi ko libre to, hahaha*

then, i went straight sa office after breakfast..
*i was wondering why wala pang maxadong bumabati sakin, hahaha*
i had to arrive early sa office para makapag-early out din, kasi nag-file ako ng half day for this day..of course! it's my day, hahaha..
so ayun, florian was my first officemate who greeted me, nilapitan pa talaga niya ako sa puwesto ko..thanks florian!
then ayun, nalaman na nung iba na birthday ko pala, so they all greeted me na, haha..
then i also received a free birthday cake! yey, hahaha...

then, at lunchtime, umalis na ko ng office..ifor went sa office, sinundo niya ako..*yey, first time!*
so ayun, siya ang dakilang taga-bitbit ng cake ko for this day, hahaha..
we went straight sa moa, we ate sa shakey's, ok now ito libre ko na, hahaha...
then we watched transformers 2! okay, this movie was really really really really great!!!
it's a must-see movie so kung hindi pa kayo nakakanuod, manuod na kayo!! hahaha..
anyway, after the movie, we went sa timezone, of course, hindi mawawala yun..=P
at hindi niya ko pinagbigyan sa air hockey kahit birthday ko na, kating-kati talaga bumawi, hahaha..*7-5, pwede na*
then may binili sa department store, then went home..
*kasama ko si ifor sa bahay! hinatid niya ko, sort of, hahaha*

then we ate dinner, *spaghetti, chicken, and that very masarap na oreo cake from red ribbon*, tambay mode lang, internet as usual, then it was time for him to go home na rin...oh and there was this nakapagtatakang email talaga, na the whole day kong tinatanong kay ifor and he was always changing the topic pagdating dun, he never talked about it talaga hanggang sa makauwi siya, i wonder why...as in, i wonder why...

anyway...this day was a blast, especially because i spent it with the most wonderful man in my life right now..*except for my dad, haha*
although i didn't receive any material gifts, except for the phone which was an early birthday gift from my dad and mom, it was still really great..i received a lot of messages from people who remembered me and my special day..

thanks for all those who greeted me!
thanks for all the messages!
thank you all!! =D

thank you pb, i love you very much..♥

i can't remember when was the first time i ever laid hands on a One Tree Hill DVD, but since then, i have always loved the series..

i remember the first set of DVDs that i got, season 1-3, wasn't really mine, it was my college classmate's, and until now, it's still with me, hahaha...

then i also remember doing a movie review about the OTH season 4 ending in multiply..there was even one summer, where everyday during the afternoon, i would watch OTH, just to be able to finish the whole season..see how addicted i became?

and just recently, i finished season 5, and just this night, i finished season 6..

i just thought of blogging about it, 'cause i just think it was a really nice finale episode for season 6..
seeing how things turned around, especially with brooke and her mom, and how things went good for haley and nathan,,it was really cool when nathan was introduced in his first game..haha..
i just find it really really nice..and to think that i thought peyton was gonna die, but i also thought no, she can't die, hahaha..and seeing how beautiful sawyer (peyton and lucas' daughter) is..=D *okay, i'm totally talking OTH right now, so i'm sorry if you can't relate, and sorry if i've spoiled it, haha*

i also love the songs from OTH season 6, and the quotes that i get there..
haha..
i just really love One Tree Hill..

and i think this is what i've learned from all the seasons of One Tree Hill that i've watched..
endings are really not endings..
they're new beginnings..
and believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do..*for sure!*

it's not always that you get what you want, right?
just like tonight..
i didn't get what i want..
oh but wait, i did, didn't i?

what the hell am i talking about?
gibberish..
oh but wait, not really, ain't it?

got nothing much to say..
i know it's not how i imagined it to be..
it's not how we're supposed to do it..bitin!
but hey, the hell with that!
at least i got a glimpse of my man..
the most wonderful man in the world that i love the most...
at least i got to eat my dinner with him..and i got to hug him..and kiss him..♥
and hold hands with him..and walk around the mall with him..and, what else..
i just got to be with him! that's all that matters..♥
i'm so cheesy again huh? walang pakialamanan, hahaha...

hayy...how i wish nights could be longer..
as long as the daytime..
so that we could spend more time with each other..
oh well, at least we get to see each other and talk often..

oh and by the way, just to let you know, my day still ended pretty great actually..
why?
read the title ^^..

that's all i got to say..
=D

i got these lines from the book majelle gave chinky,,
a book about friendships, girlfriends..=D

-you talk and talk and talk for hours but there's no particular topic to talk about, just about anything under the sun!


-this is so true, it's like whenever me and my girlfriends see each other, it's always bitin! kahit na the whole day na kami magkakasama or kahit na mag-overnight pa kami..=D


-it's like there's always something more to tell or talk about..


-true right? even a simple text message can brighten up your day, when it's from a very good friend..

june 11, 2009

it was the much awaited day...i've waited more than a week for this day, the day na magkikita na kami ulit ni boyfriend, and the day of the pussycat dolls concert...=D
the original plan was susunduin niya ko from the office, then we would go straight sa moa..
but some unexpected things happened, kaya hindi na niya ko nasundo, we met up sa buendia instead, then went straight sa moa..our plans for that night was just the pcd concert, and may be eat as well..i wanted to go sa concert grounds ng maaga para we could get a good spot..so kumain muna ko sandali, kasi bawal ang food sa concert, then we went straight na dun sa concert grounds, and we waited there na lang..
when we went inside, onti pa lang yung tao, and in fairness, ang laks ng hangin, ang lamig, ang sarap..=D

sa bronze lang kami, yung dulong dulo, pero ok lang, kasi may wide screens naman, and kita rin naman yung stage kahit papano..kahit maliit na lang yung mga tao sa stage, haha..
the concert was at 8pm, of course may front act pa, yung kumanta ng mainit, and the philippine all star(s) were there..ayun, ok naman sila..then we waited again..then at 9pm, the concert started..everyone was excited, and of course we were excited as well, haha..it was also my first time to watch a real concert..i watched the free concert yung sa boyce avenue, pero parang wala lang naman yun, and it was free, and i was alone, hahaha..

then ayun, the concert started..PCD is so cool..they're so sexy, so hot..nicole was so nice..they were all so pretty..basta, nakakatuwa sila..and they were so energized! super performance level talaga! ang galing talaga nila sumayaw..i can't remember kung ilang songs nakanta nila, meron yung beep, i don't need a man, wait a minute, buttons, i hate this part, stick with you, bottle pop, when i grow up, some songs from their new album, and of course the ever famous jai ho..everyone was looking forward to the jai ho performance, hahaha...it was super enjoy..kahit ang sakit sa paa kasi nakatayo lang kami the whole time..and kahit hindi ko sila masyadong makita talaga sa stage..medyo konti nga lang din yung tao e..and super nabitin ako!! i was waiting for the people to ask for an encore, kaso wala na..so tapos na talaga..there was also a fireworks display at the end of the concert..that was 5 minutes i think..the concert ended at around 10pm i think..so mga 1hour or so lang nag-perform yung pussycat dolls..pero ok lang..sulit naman..and it was super fun..and ang galing galing talaga nila..

then after the show, we decided na kumain, sa mcdo na lang..luckily nakakuha kami agad ng seat, at siyempre blockbuster ang mcdo, ang daming tao..haha..then inantay lang namin sila kuya, then we went home na..natutuwa ako kay nicole..parang super humble niya, and super nice niya, and proud na proud siya sa pagiging Filipino niya..ewan, natutuwa ako sa kanya, and the rest of the pussycat dolls...they're just great...=D

and of course, june 11 was also me and my ifor's 7th month anniversary..it was a different celebration for us because of the PCD concert, because usually we just eat, laro sa timezone, lakad lakad, kuwentuhan, and that's it..but this one was different..and it's very memorable..and how i wish everyday may concert so that i could spend those quality times and moments i had with him during that night..it was just very memorable..so thanks for the concert, and thanks to him most especially...♥

everyone makes stupid mistakes..
i do them a lot, or so that is what i think..
and at times, i regret doing those stupid mistakes..
but if you come to think of it, i shouldn't regret them..
because if not for those mistakes, i wouldn't grow, i wouldn't become more mature..

mistakes have all kinds of consequences...
and from those consequences, i get a lot of lessons..
and from those consequences, i learn..

it is because of those consequences that i learn how to handle things that would still come my way..
it is from those mistakes that i am able to face and be ready for all the challenges that could happen..new ones, and even the same problems..

why am i saying all these?
because of an event that happened just recently..
something similar to one that happened already way back..
even though i already know the consequences, yet it still happened again..
yet i still made it happen, or so that is what i think..
anyway, i know i shouldn't be making the same mistakes because i'm sure i've learned from what has happened already..
but why did i do it again?
why did it happen again?
i really have no idea why it keeps coming back, why it keeps on happening, but i sure wish and pray that it would never happen again..
i wish there is a way to not let it happen again, and i wish i knew that remedy..
i just have to be careful, to not let it happen again..
because it's not good, really..
it's not...

today is june 11, 2009...
7th for us, =)
7th monthsary that is...
happy monthsary my dear ifor..=D
i love you..
♥

*happy monthsary to tin & jorelle as well...=)*

dahil sa wala akong magawa, i found out a lot of my old things in our room earlier this evening..particularly in my cabinet..
naghahanap kasi ako ng magagawa, and i stumbled upon a lot of things na nakakatuwang balikan..=P

first, i saw my old flute, and decided to play with it, using my old flute song books..
i've had that flute since i was 9 i think, basta, i was in grade three pa that time, haha..

then, i started looking into some old notebooks..well, some were not that old really, coz the first one i looked into, sinulatan ko un since october 2008 lang..and the things i wrote there, were all about him, my pb, my one and only..=D
the things i wrote there were how things started between us..and natatawa ako while i was reading what was written there, haha..it looked sort of like a diary already, but that wasn't my intention nung sinulatan ko yun dun..parang gusto ko lang ilabas yung nararamdaman ko, so i decided to write what i felt, and what i thought at that time..

then i looked into another notebook..a trend micro notebook, and it was the one where i wrote more of what i wanted to tell him,,actually, there were some songs written there, and some lyrics..because during our first monthsary, i gave him a cd of some songs that i dedicate for him, or like songs that i can relate to..and i wrote the lyrics of the songs, instead of the titles, as the song list..then also, the poem i gave him during our first monthsary as well was also written there..and then there were two more things written there, but they weren't finished..hindi ko na lang muna babanggatin kung anu un, mababasa niya e, and i plan on finishing those things..haha..

then, there was another notebook..an orange one..if i remember correctly, galing kay leah yung notebook na yun,,she gave it to me as a birthday gift during my debut..kasi daw orange, so naalala niya ko, kaya yun ang bigay niya, hahaha..then i thought, may mga nakasulat na notes or something, tapos nung tinignan ko yung likod, there was a some sort of a wishlist written there, dated November 9, 2006..and natuwa lang ako sa nakasulat, coz some of the things written there, were already wishes that came true..=D

here's what's written on that wishlist...

freedom of expression..
freedom to choose..
freedom to do things that i want to do, and do them on my own..
freedom to say things that i want to say..
freedom to decide for myself..to make decisions without anyone interfering with it..
when???

bakit kailangan ka pang tanungin ng gusto mo, e kung yung gusto lang din naman nila ang masusunod?
same old story..
same old problem..
it never changed..
kahit may trabaho na ko't lahat, ganun pa rin..
bakit???

over-protective..
pero sobra naman ata..
hindi na ko bata tulad ng dati..
mag-21 na ko!
can't they be a bit less protective???
i'm not asking for it to stop, pero bawasan naman sana..
parang mas lalo pa atang naghigpit nito e..
dahil ba sa kanya? wala namang masama di ba?
don't they trust me enough?
whatever...i'm sure this is not the end of this...
it will keep on happening...
again and again...

aaaaagh.....
i hate it when this happens.....
when??? why???

happy birthday kuya aaron!
happy birthday johnrey!

i feel like my weekends start with friday...yun nga lang siyempre may pasok pa rin ng friday, pero excited ako pag friday na, kasi siyempre last day of the week! haha..
it's been more or less a week already since my last post..
at dahil masyado nang advertised ang pagkapanalo ko sa air hockey, at wala nang mabasang bago ang mga pumupunta dito, then it's time for a new blog...=)

let me start with...our company team building/outing last May 30-31, sa tanauan, batangas..nagpunta kami sa hacienda darasa, if im not mistaken, haha..siyempre sa office ang meet-up, then isang bus lang kami, at ang luwag luwag pa, pwede kaming tig-isa sa mga upuan, haha..we arrived sa resort mga 10am, then we had two games, our team won the first game, then kulelat kami the second game, hahaha..after ng second game umulan, so tumigil na kami sa games..nag-antay na lang ng lunch, then swimming..tapos nun, puro kain-swimming na lang kami, hahaha..
roommates ko sila casey, rane, meilin, leah, of course..pero nagkakapalit palit lang din, so wth, hahaha..then ayun, jamming din, inuman, kuwentuhan, takutan..met a lot of new people din pala..haha..NFFs..=D
kahit sinisipon at inuubo ako that weekend, sige lang sa swim, haha..lupet ni casey e..lakas mag-aya, hahaha...at kahit mawalan ng boses, sige lang sa tawa at kuwento, hahaha...enjoy naman, kaso super pagod ako pag-uwi namin, hahaha..

then ayun, back to work after ng outing siyempre,,akala ko hindi na ako makakapasok nung monday after nun, buti na lang kaya pa, haha..
then tuesday came, june 2, ayan june na nga pala! hahaha...
met up with ifor..binili ko kasi siya ng piaya..kaya we met up para mabigay ko sa kanya yun..at nakakain na ko ulit ng jabi sa wakas, haha..na-miss ko e..=P then korni nga e, kasi bigla akong nagka-curfew! wth! kaasar..super limited tuloy yung oras namin..kelangan daw 9 nasa bahay na ko..parang bata e..parang di nagttrabaho..ksh..

anyway, hindi ko na binadtrip ang sarili ko dun, kasama ko naman siya e..
kaso thursday pa kami ulit magkikita, tagaaaaaallll....
and for sure, bitin na naman yun....
hayyyy....
hindi ko napapansin...pero ang hirap din...
pero nakakaya naman, kaya hindi ko napapansin na mahirap..haha..
well, just have to wait for thursday to come around...
oh and by the way, that day will be the 7th for us...=D

*o ayan, may bago na kong post! =P*
