MY thesis is currently in the faraway (okay, di naman..) land known as UP, being bound IMSOFREAKINGHAPPYYOUHAVENOIDEA.

what a great, great day. yes, even despite the rain. i decided to be smart today and wear my af1s instead of flipflops or sandals, and my feet stayed nice and dry even as we sloshed through UP's rainy streets. we took the toki, which was an adventure in itself considering cholo was acting all 'UP is my territory' and brought us to the college of music, instead of the shopping center. good job baby. luckily, tisha was there so we were saved! good job tish. then we had the yummiest lunch at chocolate kiss, and decided to go around the mall after that. now im at home, resting my achy feet, but i dont feel tired or anything. i feeeeeel gooooood. life is good! hooray!

im loving Circus!!! whoohoo. go brit!! (sorry na, close kami)

................

the whole noelle-iya-tums truelight 9 conversation is ringing in my head as i keep telling myself NOT TO CARE. whhhhhhyyyy should i, its just a waste of energy dammit. okay???? okay.

two words made my day:

APPROVAL SHEET

thank You, Jess!!!!!!

its december 2, and the christmas rush should have already invaded every mall in metro manila but surprisingly, the mall was crowd-free today. yeay for my mom and I who got our shop on, and walked and walked and walked till we could walk no more. hooray for finally scoring the perfect colored tights! and more exlamation points for the mrs. fields double fudge brownie i stuffed my face with, while walking around take note.

im so excited for all the christmas-related stuff coming up! this time last year, i was getting infected with chicken pox and was sadly forced to spend TWO WHOLE WEEKS at home. thankfully i am healthy and happy this year. whoohoo.

i didnt get to see it!!!!! i feel like such a loser haha

heeeeell noooooooo.

i had Pancake House today, and i am happy. just because their panchicken, spaghetti, and tacos are the ULTIMATE comfort food

wedding countdown is down to.. a month and five days. today we travelled to the far-flung city (town?) known as alabang (or, as cholo calls it, alaybeng! with matching conyo accent) to fit our gowns and yet again i am reminded of how i am the abello sister who isnt blessed, asset-wise. huhuhu. also, for some weird reason, my gown was loose which could only mean either one of two things: the designer intentionally made it that way coz its easier to make bawas than it is to make dagdag OR.. i lost weight. hahaha. im hoping its the second reason!

im not as weighing-scale conscious as i used to be, but because one of camille's bridal shower gifts was a scale, i found myself stepping on that square piece of torture that dictates how you see yourself (in the words of my fabulous friend who is also my nutritionist-slash-diet-guru). AND i have a feeling its rigged because no way do i weigh only THAT much!!

okay, enough about my weight. haha.

i think i saw someone i knew at greenhills last night.. i cant be sure, but i have a pretty strong feeling i wasnt imagining things. or maybe i was?

today was extremely SUPER DUPER awesome, that i cant even think of another, less cheesy word to describe it

cholo's boards are finally over and im happy because: (for selfish reasons) i get my boyfriend back and we can finally see each other more, and also (for unselfish reasons) cholo can now relax and this huge weight was lifted off of his shoulders. im so sure he's gonna pass, not just because i think he's the smartest person i've ever met but also because i saw how hard he worked and exerted effort for this.

to celebrate, we had lunch-slash-merienda with cholo's family, and then went crazy and braved the christmas-season-and-Bonifacio-day-and-long-weekend crowds of megamall, shangri-la AND greenhills. it was good coz we got to window shop, do a bit of christmas shopping (FOR OURSELVES, take note), unwind, stuff our faces, spend time together, and cholo finally got to relax after so many months of attending review classes and balancing studying with work.

so hooray for the nursing boards of nov 2008!! here's to the lingering, unavoidable, gut-wrenching tension until the results finally come out in feb! yahoooooo

i loved today!!!
