1. Busy Weekend

    Tuesday, June 22, 2010

    June 21, 2010

    4 days to go!

    And I’ll be turning 22, OMG! (I had to compute in my mind if it was really 22, haha!)
    Time is sooooo fast. It’s already the 21st of June! BTW, someone I know is celebrating her birthday today, Kaye Cruz, happy birthday. :) I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I feel like I know a lot of people who are celebrating/celebrated their birthday during this month of June; people from high school, college, office, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and it’s pretty exciting that’s why I always wait for June to arrive.

    In accordance with June, I want to share with you the past weekend that I had, June 18-20. It was so, let’s just say, fully booked, ever since Friday night. To start things off, we went to Sitcom Live last Friday night, a comedy bar near our place. It was just me, my mom, my dad, and my kuya. It was like a family bonding for us. This wasn't our first time to a comedy bar since we’ve been to 22nd street as well before, another comedy bar which is also just near our place. (There are also other branches of 22nd street in Antipolo I think and in some other places, not sure of the others though.) If you just want to laugh and have fun, I recommend you go to comedy bars, just be prepared to laugh your heart out and be ‘game’ with whatever the stand-up comedians will say. Anyway, going back, there was this concert that night at Sitcom for Voyz Avenue, a new all-male group from Tv5. I really didn’t know them, but when I heard them sing, they were actually pretty good. And of course, they’re all good looking, no doubt about that. But there was somebody else who already caught my eye even if the Voyz Avenue consisted of five good looking guys who could sing and dance well. Before the actual show or concert started, the stand up comedians first introduced themselves and sang a couple of songs. Probably just for an opening act. There was this one stand-up comedian who didn’t look gay at all. As in! When he walked out of the stage, I’m pretty sure every single lady in that place that night noticed his good looks. But then he immediately said, “I’m gay.” It was so funny! But boy, was he really good looking! I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. We stayed there until around 2:30 am I think, and I’ve been telling my mom and brother that I’d really want a picture with him, my gay crush. So I really waited until after the show so that I'd see him again. I was just waiting for the right moment to ask him for a picture, and when we were about to leave, I just had to do it. I went up front near the stage, asked the waiter if he could call him. But then he saw me, and he went down the stage! And I told him if I could take my picture with him, he politely said sure, we took the picture, I thanked him, he thanked me, and I left with a silly grin on my face feeling so kilig the whole time. Ha-ha! How I wish he’s just confused, or pretending or whatever. How I wish he wasn't gay at all! Hahaha!

    Then the next day, Saturday, my dad and I went to SM Center to buy some tools. Then in the afternoon, we went to MOA to have our Father’s Day celebration with my uncle (my dad’s brother) and his children, my cousins. We ate at Lamesa grill, then we played Bowling, and we watched Toy Story 3. It was just a very light bonding moment for all of us, no worries or anything at all. We just had fun, and it was really nice. I wish we could have done another one like that, but my dad’s schedule is just too busy already that we can’t fit in something like that anymore. But it’s okay, we had that day anyway, and the bonding night last Friday. Then Sunday, we went to Bulakan, Bulacan to attend a christening where my brother was one of the godfathers. We practically spent the whole day there, another bonding moment for our family, together with other family members there.
    So basically, I had a ‘family weekend’ because I was able to spend the whole weekend with my family. It’s nice to do this from time to time because you get to bond with your whole family, you get to have fun together, and you get to share more time with each other. Perfect. I’m glad this happened. :)

    Looking forward to next weekend!

  2. 10...9...8...

    Tuesday, June 15, 2010

    Today's the 15th of June...meaning, only 10 days more and it's gonna be my birthday!
    Wow, time flies really fast doesn't it?
    Although I am really excited for my birthday, I am kind of sad as well because 3 days after my birthday, my dad's going back to his work in Qatar. Even though we're already used to him not being with us for most of the year, it's nice of course that we get to spend even just a month with him every year. I wish he would just stay here, but I know that he still wants to do a lot of things, especially now that we're starting a business. And besides, his work there is okay, and he is still capable of working. Oh well, at least we have him for father's day. :)

    I'm still having dilemmas as to what I'm going to do on my birthday. I think we're going to have a celebration on the 26th probably, so it's not going to be on the day of my birthday. So the 25th is free for me to do anything that I want. Of course, it's my day! But I really don't know what to do, haha! And besides, the budget's not that big, so my options are limited. But I'm sure I'll be able to figure out something just to be able to enjoy that day. :)

    For now, Happy Birthday to all June celebrants! :)

  3. A Note For You

    Friday, June 11, 2010


    Let me just say that I'm doing this not for you, but for myself. I've realized that my blogging has helped me as my stress reliever. I can pour out my emotions here, anger, sadness, happiness, whatever. And right now, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

    I'm not sure if I've ever blogged about how I really feel about what you did, or if I did, if I ever did publish those blogs. But I guess not. I just didn't want to waste my time anymore for that kind of sh*t. But I'm having a change of heart, and I just really want to do this right now.

    Ever since the last time we saw each other, until now, we’ve never really had a real talk, and I hate you for that. It pisses me off that you have to hide from me and that you can’t be a real man and face me and talk to me. What’s the problem? Guilty ka? Because the one thing that I was always worried about, the one thing that you’ve told me a lot of times not to be worried about is actually the one thing that destroyed us, or rather, me. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Behind my back you’ve been doing and realizing these things and you were never brave enough to tell me? It wasn’t really about what my dad told me that’s why you left me, no? It wasn’t really because you were so busy with your Thesis and stuff that’s why you wanted a cool off? Or if it was really because of those reasons, I’m sure if it was for someone else you could bear them all, but for me you can’t, because hindi lang naman ‘yun ang dahilan. And why didn’t you just go straight to a break up if in the long run, it was gonna happen anyway? Nakakainis ka sobra. Forget the part where you’re gonna think na I’ll be getting hurt if you tell me those things because that’s what happened anyway, I still got hurt, and I think it was even more hurtful than if you just went straight to a break up. And goodness gracious, you were just going to say why, and yet you can’t. You were able to do the cool off, even if it was just thru text, and yet you can’t say why. Is it really that hard? Harder than waiting for what’s going to happen next? Harder than being left in the middle of nowhere and you don’t know which way to go? Harder than thinking if you have to keep holding on or it’s time to let go? Tell me, how hard was it for you?

    Don’t tell me that I’m being unfair to you because weren’t you unfair to me too? Ever since the start, you’ve denied me of the truth. You never told me anything. Ano nga ba ko, girlfriend lang naman ako. You made me believe that ‘that’ was over. You made me believe that you were done with that. And yet you weren’t pa pala. It took you a year to figure that out? To realize that? And it had to involve me pa. I know I’m making you sound so bad, because that’s how I feel about you. This wouldn’t have come out only if you talked to me about it. I'm sure things would've been a whole lot different. Really, you were already able to tell me a lot of things, that you’ve forgotten about me while you were doing your Thesis and all, that you forgot that you even had a girlfriend, pero isang simpleng bagay lang, isang simpleng dahilan lang kung bakit ka nakipaghiwalay, hindi mo pa nasabi. Ano bang inaantay mo? Ganun na lang ‘yun, hinayaan mo na lang na magsawa ako kakaantay, kaka-asa, sa kakasabing naiinis ako sa’yo? I feel so stupid for still waiting for more or less than 3 months, even if it was so obvious already that I was waiting for nothing. Tapos kelan mo lang mare-realize na nahihirapan na ako? Tsk. Pero aaminin ko naman na maaaring may kasalanan rin ako dito. Probably I did rush things. I thought I did already, but I never really knew you nung sinagot kita. And I’ve always told you before na ayokong nagagalit sa’yo. Malamang mali rin ako dun diba, siguro kung nagalit ako sa’yo nuon, nag-away tayo, matagal na tayong naghiwalay.

    Sabihin na nila na talo ako sa pagpo-post nito, pero gusto ko lang naman ilabas 'yung sama ng loob ko. Hindi ko rin naman akalain na magpo-post pa ko ng ganito. Sabihin na nilang bitter ako, pero pano nila masasabi 'yun if they never really knew what happened? Hindi kita sinisiraan, sinasabi ko lang ung nararamdaman ko tungkol sa nangyari. Mabasa mo man to o hindi, wala akong pakialam, basta gusto kong ilabas yung kung anu talagang nasa loob ko. Salamat na rin dahil ang dami kong na-realize at natutunan sa nangyaring ito. Masaya na ko ngayon, hindi na tulad ng dati, ibang iba na. I’m sure masaya ka na rin, bumitaw na ko, libre ka na. (noon pa nga pala, sorry ngayon ko lang nasabi) At oo, sabihin na nilang hindi pa ako 100% over sa’yo, (kahit ikaw, I’m sure, simula pa lang ang bilis mong naka-move on) may mga naaalala pa rin ako from time to time, pero one thing’s for sure, I’ve started to move on, and I’m sure I’ll be able to do it well, even if I’m on my own.

    Pagpasensiyahan niyo na ang post na ‘to, nagka-lakas ng loob lang.


  4. June's start

    Tuesday, June 1, 2010

    Goodness, it’s the first day of June already! And in 24 days, I’ll be turning 22, wow. At the start of this year, I thought it’s still a long time before me birthday. And now, it’s already June? Hahaha. It’s weird how time flies by so fast. Sometimes you think where did all the time go? How did I spend every day of my life for the past 5 months? If I think about it, it’s kind of routinely, at least the waking up and going to the office and then going home part. But after that, and during weekends, at least I still get to do the things that I like. And this year, I got to go out with friends more often than before. (and I’m sure there’s still more to come!) I’ve done some new things as well, and I’m happy about it. (G-Y-M) At least I’m doing something different from how I was last year. Though the problems that come with work are still there, and I think it’s not gonna go away just yet, hahaha.

    The past months may not have treated me very well, but at least it taught me a lot of new lessons in life. We all have to go through hardships in order for us to be strong, and for us to understand the importance of having friends and family around us. We have to experience being alone in order for us to truly know and understand who we really are. And we have to feel lost in order for us to be able to find what we’ve lost in the process of self-discovery, and to be able to be there for our own selves when nobody would be. I’m not saying that after this, we’re not going to make mistakes anymore. Nobody’s perfect and everyone makes their own mistakes. I’ll still be making my own mistakes as time progresses but at least I’ll know how to handle them if ever I repeat the same mistakes again, or I’ll know how to deal with those mistakes if ever I make new ones. I feel like I’ve become more mature in this process, become a better person, and I thank the people who’ve helped me all throughout.

    It’s just now that I am writing this that I’ve come to realize how the past events have affected me. It’s still there, I still think about it at times, but for sure, it’s not like before. It’s a whole different scenario now, and I tend to keep it that way. It’s much better that way and I know that the best person I could ask for help, and could help me the best, is myself. :)

    I’ll be starting a new journey, a new adventure, with what I have and with what I’ll be reaping in the process, and in what better way to start than today, for the first day of my favorite month, June. (C’mon, it’s self-explanatory why I love June, hahaha.) It’s not going to be an easy ride, I don’t know what to expect, but it adds to the excitement and the fun. And I’ll try and not forget the things that I’ve learned, the people that are there for me, and of course, my rejuvenated self. :)

    So much for a first-day-of-the-month blog! I’m actually not expecting to write those stuff up there, but at least it just helps me realize how much I’ve really been through, and how I’ve been able to cope up with it. Now, going back to June, (sometimes I think why my parents didn’t name me after my birth month, June, it’s kinda cute right?) I’m kind of torn in the excitement of my upcoming birthday. Usually, I want it to arrive already, but this time, I’m kind of halfway. Why? My dad’s here for his yearly 1-month vacation, and obviously he’ll be here for my birthday, which is really exciting. But at the same time, 2 days after my birthday, he’ll be leaving, which is the not-so-good part. Though we’re used to him going and leaving, (he’s an OFW) still, it’s sad when it’s the goodbye part already. But at least we’ve still got more or less a month to spend with him. And I’ve got him for my special day! I think the last time he was here for my birthday was during my 18th birthday. That’s 4 years ago! So this birthday’s pretty exciting. =D

    Another thing why I thought of writing this first-day-of-the-month blog is because I wanted to create a wish list for my birthday. Just like a Christmas wish list. I think this is the first time that I’ve thought of creating one, but I just wanted to create one, since I’ve been thinking of a lot of things that I want for my birthday. And since they always tell you to ‘make a wish before you blow your candle’, I’m just creating my own wish list in advance. Ha-ha! And besides, I don’t ask for any material things when I ‘make a wish before I blow my candle.’

    Okay, so here goes my Birthday Wish list:
    1. I really wanted a party for my birthday, RedBox, LaserTag, or a restaurant like Guilly's, Giligan's, or whatever, but I don't think I can afford it yet, or if it's gonna happen. For now, maybe just a simple party would do. Even a slumber party with my girlfriends! (Girls!) Maybe I could do it bongga on some other birthday, ha-ha!
    2. I thought of going on an outing for my birthday, I'm just not sure where, if it's at a beach or just a private resort with a pool, but both are possibilities. (I liked the Stilts beach resort in Calatagan, nice place for a getaway, it's just expensive, but there's nothing wrong for a wish!)
    3. Laptop or Digicam, which is still unaffordable at this time, but I still want one. :) (What do we know, a fairy godmother might give it to me.)
    4. A new birthday bag (I need a replacement for my bag anyway.)
    5. That Winnie the Pooh beanie at Clipper. (Yes, I love stuffed toys, especially cute ones.)
    6. A bouquet of flowers, ha-ha!
    7. A nice cake. :)
    8. The case for my iPod, which I could buy even before but haven't bought yet, ha-ha! I don't know which to buy anyway, the one from Powerbooks, or the one from the gadget stores.
    9. A surprise. I love surprises, and I haven't got one yet. Or maybe just not a successful one, or a bongga one. Gusto ko bongga! ha-ha!
    10. Celebrating my birthday with all my friends and relatives!
    11. A lot of birthday greetings, especially from those whom you wouldn't expect would greet you. Just the thought of them remembering your birthday, taking time to greet you is really sweet.
    12. Probably a shopping spree? Anyone who could sponsor me? hahaha..
    13. A pet dog, but I'm not decided on which dog yet, so that's just at the bottom of the list.
    I’m doing this list also for the sake that when people read it, they would know what to give me, ha-ha-ha! Kidding! I just really wanted to create a wish list, I could buy some (not all) of the stuff here anyway myself, but it’d be great if someone else would give it to me. I could go on and on with that list, but right now that’s what I could think of. (for now!) I also wish I could do well and be able to live up to the things I've mentioned above. And I would really love a surprise. And would really love to spend it with all my close friends and relatives. :) Love, love! ♥
