long day...Ü
POSTED AT 03:48 PM

Today was long... started out with our batch recollection which I think was really good. The activity I liked best was the one with Ms Kat. It was kinda sad and it got me thinking about how Im gonna miss Assumption and the people and stuff.

During lunch I gave the True Light Days with the Lord participants orientation to Bianx, Tessa, Pop, Nikki, Ruby and Dren. They were extremely noisy! What more pa kaya during the actual weekend... Ü Everytime I orient about Days, I get this feeling of excitement coz I know that these people are gonna experience the life-changing weekend I experienced and that just makes me happyÜ

Anyway, after that we just had the usual Legacy Mass singing practice. All anyone can talk about nowadays is the ball so in between songs Gianna, Bianx, Tessa and I were talking about our plans after, what time we're leaving, things like thatÜ Im really excited for my gown, I think thats the only thing about the ball that Im looking forward to.

Legacy mass tomorrow! Sr Maitel's my ninang (dont know if thats a good or bad thing...)

5 hours and counting...
POSTED AT 01:40 PM

the ball is in five hours... and i am SO NOT excited...

im excited to wear my gown though... thats about the only thing im looking forward to. oh, and our after-thing in bianca's which i cant talk about here (it'll be a surprise for someone)

i talked to my date on the phone this morning, and guess what?! he has to be home at a certain time! hay... giannsypot, i just confirmed our theory. When you had a great prom experience, chances are your ball will be sucky.

I'm still smiling thoughÜ the dreaded call from ms. esqui didnt arrive yesterday. THANK YOU GOD!!! Pop was right, God IS good.

Parlor appointment at 3. I hope my hair turns out okay.

our last ac event *tear*
POSTED AT 10:52 AM

i usually dont wake up this late (its almost 11!) so I must REALLY be tired from last night. and as soon as I looked at my phone there was a message from Martin saying thanks. Haha, I really thought he was gonna cry when he saw all of us! But wait, you obviously dont know what Im talking about so I'll start from the beginning.

I went to the parlor at 3 for my appointment. When I glanced up from the magazine I was reading, my eyes literally popped out. My hair looked horrible! I was so pissed I made her redo the whole thing and that whole time I kept texting Bianx and whining to her. When we left at 5 my hair was better and my make-up was okay so I was a bit satisfied.

I asked my date to pick me up at 6:30. at 6:45 he still wasnt here! and Gianna had texted to say that she & Chad had already left. I was kinda panicking coz of the supposed "gates will close at 7:30" rule. He came before 7 and we got to the ball on time thought so it was okay.

How was the ball? Hmmm..... I guess it was okay. Not really that great but yeah, it was nice. The gym was pretty (as pretty as the gym can get!) and it wasnt as hot as I expected it to be. Jappy and the rest of the guys were constantly fanning themselves though so I assume that the coat & tie must have been torture for them =)

Pictures were okay, the food was okay, we danced (without the guys though coz they looked like they were all bonding), the band was fine and the awarding was.... surprising. I didnt expect certain people to win but hey, its not like it really matters right? What I really liked was the video of Mela and Julianne. It was so cute! And super nakakamiss... parang everything I saw on the video made me think of how much Im gonna miss Assumption and the Ateneo tag-team and Mrs Acuba and morning talk and things like that.

After ball we headed to Bianca's house for Martin's suprise party. He didnt have a clue at all! We pretended that we were all gonna meet up in Greenbelt and that Martin & Tessa had to go bring Bianca home coz no one could bring her home. When they got there, we were all there na and really, when we all popped up from behind the furniture (yes like in the movies when they surprise someone), Martin's face was classic! Even Jappy said he thought Martin was gonna cry hehe =)

So what did we do? Eat! And the guys were playing with the Magic Sing. Oh, and someone dropped by Bianca's house. Mike! He only stayed for a while but he made someone really happy =) I even threatened him that if he messes with her I'll kill him and he looked really scared. Ha, I must have said it really well!

We went home a bit early and Diane & Bogie and Gianna & Chad went home na rin. Over-all, the ball was okay. The prom will always still be better...


someone stayed up till 6am talking to her *ahem* racer
POSTED AT 02:55 PM

Just got off the phone with Bianx... she called to say that her mom told her that Jappy was the only date who offered to help clean up after. Aww.... Ü My prom and ball dates are super gentlemen. I remember last year Icee also cleaned up Bianca's house afterÜ

Bianx, Im so kilig for you!!!! He's really a gentleman... and you guys are so bagay! But Im serious, if he messes with you, I'll kill him heheÜ

my feet hurt from grad practice!
POSTED AT 06:52 PM

i really do not understand why we have to practice for grad THE WHOLE DAY. I mean, its not like we get much accomplished anyway. If anything, we only really need about 3 hours coz thats about how much time we actually get something done.

so right now the batch song is stuck in my head. that and val singing the graduation march. argh.

Look how far we've gone
Reminisce and laugh 'bout what we've done
We're going through life
with the truth deep inside


good luck tessa! hope your dinner with martin's family goes well!

have fun, gianns, bianx, vicky and everyone else going to the ateneo ball! hope you guys have a memorable nightÜ

*check out the gallery! posted some ball picsÜ

hay.... whatta weekÜ
POSTED AT 01:29 AM

so much has happened this past week! lets recapÜ

Tuesday
March 23


I was kinda excited to go to school and hear all my friends' kuwentos about the ateneo ball, gianna's and bianca's in particular. lets just say their kuwentos were just what i expected. anyway, grad practice was long and tiring as usual.

the hardcourt party was that night and right before i left the house, bianca called with kuwento about something someone did to her. hayayay, talk about complicated love lives...

i got to the renaissance towers and as soon as i got off the elevator, the first thing i heard was high-pitched laughter. no joke. then i saw hardcourt having their pictures taken with their jackets on. i went in and dami people, grabe! all the families of hardcourt, the lifters and the members of wake up your seatmate were there. i was with macy and colleen and we got food and wow it was good (or maybe i was hungry heheÜ)

then bianx came. with schumi. hay....... they super looked like a couple! and they got a few stares, comments and raised eyebrows. but hey, who cares right? it shouldnt matter what others think! anyway, we ate, then hardcourt had some games and then we watched the gals video. ohmigod.... assumption was good! i mean, they were all synchronised and stuff.

after, me, bianx & schumi just went out by the pool and sat on the bar (yup, ON the barÜ) and started talking. talk about me being a total third wheel! heheÜ but i was an okay third wheel naman daw eh, according to bianx. we just talked for hours (seriously!) and super i started liking schumi (as a person and for bianx). at around 12 we had to leave na coz we had school pa the next day so we said goodbye to everyone and I rode home with bianx & schumi.

can i just say, I LOVE HIS CAR?! wow, aside from being nice and WHOA! it was really comfy heheÜ they didnt want to go home yet so we stopped by starbucks and talked some more. at around 1, he dropped me home, dropped her home all the way in makati and then went back to our area where he lives.

it was such a nice day! the hardcourt party was fun, i super love those people and i'll miss them, especially chiaraÜ it was also great getting to know schumi. he isnt what i thought he was. hes talkative, makulit, a gentleman just what bianca needs and is really nice. definitely earned a lot of points from me that nightÜ

Wednesday
March 24


My last day of school *tear*

After 13 years of studying at the Assumption, Wednesday was the last time I entered the gate, walked down the halls, sat in the class room and basically just breathed Assumption air.

Grad practice wasnt that bad, mainly because everyone was already feeling the "last day of school EVER" blues and was trying to make the most out of the day. We were dismissed at noon and I remember just sitting on the steps of the Assumpta Court with Bianca, waiting for my car, looking across the Assumpta Court and remembering all the great times I spent there.

Like jellybeans in a jar
Thats how different we are
We met yesterday, now we're going our own way

We used to stand alone,
thinking we could make it on our own
but then we figured out, that we will always need each other

Look how far we've gone
reminisce and laugh 'bout what we've done
we're going through life, with the truth deep inside

There's a fire within, enlight'ning our souls
Pushing us forward to reach our goal

Look how far we've gone
reminisce and laugh 'bout what we've done
we're going through life, with the truth deep inside

Step into the world, the truth in our hearts
Change things as they come, make it happen
Make it happen, make it happen
The truth deep inside

woke up thinking You're graduating today! Hallelujah!

started getting ready at around 11 and left the house at 1. got to Don Bosco at exactly 1:30 and NO ONE WAS THERE! i mean, there were people, but not that many yet! hmph. at least i had time to fix my medallion and stuff pa.

we actually started on time and i remember as we were marching in, i looked to my left where chinky should've been and she was in front na with marcie! i ended up being partnered with janina and the whole time i was wondering who was late or absent...

we got to our seats and the mass started. Fr Edwin officiated the mass which I think was really great considering he was a big part of our high school lives. anyway, i remember being kinda annoyed during the mass because marian, elisha and carmel behind us were SO NOISY! tessa kept turning around to tell them to keep quiet.

after the mass, the graduation itself started. mia's speech was really nice and i dont know why but it moved me enough to cry because as we started singing the batch song, i started crying (along with tessa and gianna). i didnt even get to sing the first stanza and the chorus! after though, i felt better and as i went up to get my diploma, it really felt WOW. like 4 years of work equaled to 1 diplomaÜ

a big congratulations to Mela, Rizzy, Gianna, and Jormae! Im sooooooo proud of you guys!!!!!!

Congratulations Assumption batch 2004! We made it!

" No goodbyes..."


still in shock
POSTED AT 02:58 PM

wow, i dont even know where to start.

last night, i set my alarm to 8am coz i had cotillion practice this morning and i wanted to wake up early to be able to prepare for ctk dwtl 08's first meeting. instead of the alarm clock waking me up, i woke up to loud voices and to my mom crying. camille wasnt beside me in the bed anymore and usually i wake up earlier than her so i knew something was definitely wrong. i went down and saw mikko and he told me that there was something wrong with our driver teddy. i got fudge, our dog since he was barking his head off and brought him to my room and we just stayed there until mikko came in and said that teddy had died in his sleep.

it was really bad. my mom and camille were crying and the maid was scared and the barangay police and captain and guards came pa and stuff. i went down in pangbahay with my hair all gulo and it was kinda funny coz i saw gab there and the whole time in my head i was wondering why in the world he was in my house so early. turns out he slept over last night and that was why he was there. kawawa nga coz he and mikko came home at around 4 this morning and they werent able to get that much sleep.

the c.i.u. and s.o.c.o. were here. i dont remember what ciu stands for but soco is scene of the crime operations or something. it was really weird coz they kept interrogating the maid and my mom, and i think they thought it was foul play or something. hello?! why would we kill our driver?! they were asking silly questions too. just goes to show how bulok our government and its agencies are. they even asked my mom how old she is. hello, does it matter?

gianna came over to drop off my stuff (thanx gianns) and after awhile gab left to go home. we called up teddy's wife to come over coz mikko didnt want to tell her over the phone. i felt really anxious as my mom was telling her about teddy and when she started crying i felt really bad for her.

what makes it really sad is that teddy has been with us for almost 21 years. his wife, nida, used to be my lola's maid (until she died) and has been with us for almost 24 years. they have 3 kids who we saw grow up. teddy and nida have really seen us grow up too and i remember teddy used to bring me & louie to nursery school and he also used to pick me up from assumption when i was in kinder to bring me to my lola's house.

Every life is a fairy tale written by God's hands

We never know when we are gonna go. one thing i guess we can be sure of though is that we all go back to god.
