tums has been busy haha *tear* i miss multiply ALOT. i miss uploading waaaaaaaahhhhhhh ;(

school has pretty much been keeping me occupied these past few weeks. cholo's been really busy with his hospital duty too, and we havent been seeing much of each other lately..  *another tear* haha, drama ba? im just really not used to NOT seeing/being with him almost everyday.

this weekend's gonna be a pretty hectic one. (yihee, feeling celebrity daw) vanessa's debut tonight plus a surprise party at pancake house for secret. then tomorrow we have another surprise party plus this weekend's also the yuppie dwtl weekend.

midterms are coming up! watch tums panic-slash-cram on tuesday and wednesday. thank God my English orals are over, and thank you AC Highschool English teachers for my oral communication skills college english is a hoot. three english subjects so far and none have challenged me in a way that fourth year english did.

High School Musical! hahaha my sister and I have bonded more over high school musical talk about pathetic, we watched it for the nth time last night (despite the fact that i had a gazillion other things to do), and guess what I did? i learned the steps to 'together'! (is that the title ba?) ahh, the magic of stop, pause, and rewind. i wont be surprised if the dvd conks out one of these days due to overplaying..

trina buling's leaving tomorrow... i hate it when people leave to study abroad..

i just recently realized that when its actually time for me to stay home and study, thats the time i usually go out and basically just stay away from everything remotely related to school..

last friday, went straight to trina's surprise despedida right after school. talk about major pigging-out, pocholo and i literally ordered everything from dessert to spaghetti to chicken to sandwiches... yum yum yum pancake house is love <3 then we went to Xavier after to visit the YDWTL weekend. too bad we couldnt stay that long, it was raining really hard kasi and my baby had class pa the next day..

saturday was erica's surprise debut!!! boo.. we didnt get to go na  it was also randy's birthday treat kasi in tiendesitas... so we just went to that.

midterms this week! watch tums be distracted and NOT study..

its funny but i just had an out-of-nowhere realization.

cholo and i have the same taste.

like for example, with clothes. when i take him clothes shopping (which i basically have to do for him all the time on account of, he's a guy and guys innately do NOT shop on their own), the things i choose for him are things he approve of and actually like.

its the same with food. we love eating in the same places and we hate certain stuff too, like spicy food.

and we also have the same taste in .. girls.

yup, you read that right haha

i'm perfectly straight, dont worry. im the girliest girl actually so being interested in girls is the farthest thing from my mind. but i do acknowledge when other girls are prettier than me and thats how i found out that cholo and i have the same taste.

a certain girl's name came up in one of our conversations and though i've never been introduced to her or anything, i know what she looks like because she's cholo's friendster friend and multiply contact haha, in other words i've been looking at her multiply but not in a stalker-ish way ha! anyway, we were talking about her and our conversation went something like this--

cholo: baby, sorry ha but i really find her pretty talaga.
tums: baby, its okay! i find her pretty too!
cholo: but shempre youre prettier..

yes naman, bumawi pa eh.. but seriously, that conversation made me realize that every guy (and girl) has a type. i mean, there are really certain things that attract us to members of the opposite sex. and judging from the girls that cholo's liked and been involved with before me, i've come up with his type of girl.

-fair, he doesnt really like morena girls
-thin and sorta frail-looking, payatot talaga
-chinita
-has straight hair
-and is super girly

*ahem ahem* sounds familiar ba? oh pocholo, its a good thing you got the right fair, chinita, thin, straight-haired girly girl

=========

relationships really need to be worked on and these past few months have had us doing exactly that. im just happy that we've both been so strong and that we've really just left everything up to Jess.

i love you so much baby

=========

lately, i've been itching to get my nails done and go shopping. *hint hint*

also, i miss my days friends .. havent seen them in a while and i miss the weekends as well.

im so sick of school! my course is killing me.. and my minor subjects are proving to be MAJOR headaches. why is that?

sem break in two months.. tagal pa! aaaaaah, i cant wait though  rest and relaxation, here i come!

... but for now, its back to the books

okay, i admit it.

i'm a blog-slash-multiply-slash-friendster stalker.

..but only to certain people.

yup, i stumble upon their sites and regularly check it for updates. how sad is that? but aminin niyo, you probably do the same.

besides, reading lj's is the best source of chismis  *wink* i swear, it is. i cant count the times i've known about something before my friends have, all because i already saw it on lj.

anyway, during one of my I-have-nothing-to-do, might-as-well-look-at- my-lj-friends'-friends days, I found a certain someone's journal.

and its funny because I've met her and i know who she is, and she knows who i am, but we're not exactly close. also, she's friends with my friends and we see each other all the time and everything, so the cryptic things she writes, i actually understand.

also, i love reading her journal coz she writes sooo well. she writes in straight, perfect English and galing talaga ..

okay, not really. one more day to go. but i only have one class tomorrow (yeay!) so techinically, im already on weekend-mode.

i wanna go back to the beaaaaaaaccccchhhhhh...

where all we did was eat, tan, frolic, shop, drink and camwhore.

studying sucks.

haha, my journal updates are the best arent they?

for the first time in the loooooooongest time, i actually got some exercise today! yesssss... haha, if you actually consider playing badminton during pe as 'exercise'..

its a good thing that i have extremely fast metabolism because with the amount of exercise that i get and the activities i have that actually require me to sweat, and with my super duper magana appetite, you'd expect me to be as big as a bus.

gone were the days when i would train thrice a week for four hours at a time, when i would go home at 10pm dead tired and super drained, when my knees and arms were full of bruises and my muscles were stretched to beyond its maximum capacity.

i miss dancing .. *tear* good old days talaga..

sadly, studies come first. and sometimes you have to sacrifice certain things to do those that are more important.

but i really miss the thrill of learning new choreography, of polishing and going over it for hours, of stretching and working on stunts, of goofing off with my teammates and our inside jokes, of sweating like crazy while dancing nonstop but still looking hot (haha) and especially of people watching me dance and wishing they could do the same.

meanwhile, my dansneakers are slowly rotting away in my cabinet..

what girl doesnt love shopping?

my sunday was spent eating and walking and shopping with mommy and camille. greenhills is love <3 shopping really is my number one favorite pasttime

im currently IN LOVE with a pink bag that i saw *drool drool drool* it sucks that i wasnt able to buy it but it was just too expensive! i swear, the first thing im gonna get when i have enough will be my pretty pink and silver bag :D

no classes tomorrow! thank Jess talaga because i super have to start memorizing na my Rizal poem.. eight stanzas with six lines each is NOT funny..

you know you're obsessed with something if right before you go to sleep, you think about it.. and you're already mentally matching that particular thing with certain outfits..

yes, i am still obsessing about the pink and silver bag i saw last sunday

i waaaaaaaaaaant it. now na haha

because i love my baby ;) ;)

i love my pocholo miguel because he's a great boyfriend. he loves constantly reminding me that he loves me, he comes up with the most ingenious ways of surprising me, he feeds me every chance he gets (haha), he takes care of me in the BEST way, he puts up with my super weird moods, he tolerates my sporadic brattiness, he SUPER DUPER SPOILS ME, he gives in to my little whims, he loves making me lambing and he encourages me to be a better person, daughter, sister. the number one reason why he's the greatest though, is that he brings me closer to Jess.

i love my pocholo miguel because he's he best friend i've ever had. thats whats so great about having him in my life, the fact that he plays so many important roles makes me feel like i got THE greatest gift and blessing (which is true). he's there for me when i need to cry, vent, or share my frustrations. he's there to be happy with me when im happy and when im sad, he just holds me and magically everything becomes okay. when i have kuwento that admittedly is super mababaw, he still listens and acts interested (even if i know that sometimes, he's really not). our conversations are the best because we talk about anything and everything and whether its something as shallow as gossip, or as deep as politics, we somehow get to know more about one another through them.

i love my pocholo miguel because he's my baby. there's no one else thats more sarap to take care of than him. no one can wake him up but me. haha, thats why i have to wake up extra early on certain days to call and wake him up for his duty. he literally sleeps through his alarm but if its a wake-up call from me, he manages to get out of bed.

i love my pocholo miguel because he's my number one supporter-slash-fan. in every single dance/cotillion practice, cheering competition, days weekend, meeting and whatever else activity i've been, participated or worked in, he's been there as well. and he's not just there. he's the one running around, working behind the scenes, making sure i've eaten, buying me more food, holding and making bantay my stuff and making sure im okay

i love my pocholo miguel because he's my eternal crush. i swear, he just keeps getting cuter and cuter (and his cheeks are getting chubbier at the same time) haha, kidding baby!

there are ten thousand more reasons why i love my baby but it all boils down to the fact that i just love him. i know he knows that but it doesnt hurt to keep reminding him

oh yeah, he doesnt know i posted this. heehee, let him find it nalang and be surprised

its wednesday night again and in two days, it'll be the weekend and then another week begins..

is it just me or are the weeks flying by?

its funny because there was a time when days would literally drag by and i would count the days till a certain event. now, it just comes. in a flash. i dont know, maybe this is what age does to you. haha, just because im 20, feeling matanda na noh?

speaking of getting older, my baby turns 21 in (give or take) a month! wow, now he has no more excuse to like Batman, watch Spongebob and look at batmobiles and model cars in toy stores. they say if a girl's debut is when she turns 18, the guy version would be when he turns 21.

being the guy that he is (meaning he hates planning and spending on himself and celebrations), he completely nixed the party plans i came up with. and i super wanted to throw him pa naman a sorta 'guy debut' too... *tear* according to him, he just wants to celebrate with me and with his family, so how can i argue with that right? it is HIS day after all

the devil wears prada + harry potter
POSTED AT 10:21 PM

tums

i just finished reading 'the devil wears prada' ..

and no, i didnt just read it because the movie's coming out. i've really been wanting to read it ever since i got into chick lit.

it was so-so. not really good, but not bad either. i found myself smiling at some parts, but there were more times that i was bored and was wondering why exactly it was soooo dragging. unlike the shopaholic series by sophie kinsella, where i couldnt put the book down and i was laughing and getting kilig the whoooole time. maybe because the shopaholic series is british? british humor is always better, i guess..

and then i watched the fourth harry potter on dvd. haha, i fast-forwarded for the most part, just because voldemort's scenes are so morbid and all i really wanted to watch was the hermione-ron-viktor krum love triangle scenes its funny, i havent read/re-read the books in a long time so when i was watching it, i was feeling extreme deja vu. haha. tums was bored and was getting kilig with the ball scenes. so high school haha..

now, im currently friendster and multiply hopping. yes, thats what you get when you stay home on a saturday night, youre forced to find ways to amuse yourself. bleh, i hate staying home with nothing to do. i wanna go out! go dancing! and dress up! haha

first dwtl anniv mass meeting tomorrow with representatives from different communities. im excited i miss having days-related stuff to do. thank Jess truelight6 is coming up, yeay i'll have work again!

this is gonna be long coz i was thinking to myself on the way home, and i realized that there are sooooo many things i wanna write about. haha

*****

my day started out in the best possible way. i had breakfast with my baby! yippee for free cuts and for no-duty days hehe... this is the first time in the loooongest time that we got the chance to have breakfast together on a week day. and it set the mood for the day, now i cant seem to stop smiling.. thanks for a great morning booboo :D yup, it was bitin coz i had class pa, but it was great parin.

after that, my next two classes werent as boring as they usually are. or maybe i was just happy so they seemed to breeze by..

*****

i got really depressed when we went to glorietta yesterday and realized that U was replaced by Debenhams.. i honestly thought that the reason they were closed for the past two months was because they were renovating to make it nicer and bigger. but nooo.. turns out they were gonna scrap it altogether! damn.. i love U pa naman.. *tear* thats where we go when we need stuff to wear.. now, all the clothes are kalat-kalat all over Rustans! so when you wanna look at bikinis, you have to go to two separate floors and whats worse pa is they dont even organize the stuff.. its literally all over the place..

oh Rustans... you've failed me.. now I have to look for another place to shop...

*****

in my English class today, i realized that i am one really picky person. and im super critical of others. and i have a lot of pet peeves.

like, for example. i hate people who are slow. who take ten million years to understand simple things, and who cant follow instructions. i hate people who talk really loud in places where there are alot of other people. hello, kasama ba kami sa conversation mo?

and above all (haha, this is kind of mababaw), i hate people who say "i try to find ways to cope up with my stress". aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh..... get it right!!!!!! its just 'cope'. walang 'up' God if youre not sure, dont use the term!!!

i love tuesday nights (see title of journal entry)

and i love wednesdays even more because wednesdays = no classes + time for tums to sleep and recharge + quality time with my pocholo, usually in the afternoon + an excuse for me to do mindless, less worthwhile things.

weird kuwento: i was in a bathroom cubicle today and i overheard the conversation of the students outside. i assume they were freshmen from the way they were talking and they really went overboard on the taglish lingo. they were going on and on about how some friend of theirs passed out on the dance floor of basement and instead of helping her out, everyone just watched her. and yeah, they were probably laughing at her.

i fail to see how this kind of kuwento can be entertaining. it was for them, the rest were laughing hard while the girl telling the story was emphasizing how the drunk girl looked pathetic and stuff.

i went out of the cubicle i was in, washed my hands and fixed my hair in front of the mirrors. and yes, i stared them down. wala parin eh, they still went on and on with their conversation.

its girls like that who give the rest of us a bad name.

love wednesdays.
POSTED AT 07:56 PM

as usual, my wednesdays were spent doing schoolwork (yihee, diligent kuno... ), resting, sleeping in, and spending time with my baby :D

i love it. i love that right in the middle of the week, i have a rest day. it always gives me the energy i need to get through the rest of the week.

august is ending! and september's here na.... yippee, baby's birthday month

******

i watched 'change of heart' on etc today while i was waiting for cholo, and it made me laugh. the concept of the show is hilarious, a couple decides to go on a date with other people to find out if theyre strong enough to stay together. how strange is that? if it takes a date with someone else to make you realize just how much you love the person you're already with, then maybe you shouldnt be in a relationship. just date around or something. i dont know if im making sense or if i'm even making my point clear but i just find the concept odd.

******

thursdays arent so bad because my schedule is abit light. fridays though, are another story. aside from being the end of the week (which makes the day seem longer than it actually is), i also have a reallllllyyy loonnnng break which is sometimes good, and often times bad. good, because i get to spend time with my friends and catch up on expe psych lessons, and bad because i end up spending on food and food and yes, food. haha college is magastos, way more magastos than highschool. aside from hand-outs and projects and assignments, there are also mall trips, food trips, shopping trips and shuttle trips.

******

there are days when things go wrong and i feel sad and tired and crappy. those days, i just think of you.. and im okay you always make things right and make me feel happy.

on those days that I dont get to see you, a text is enough. who knew that such a simple thing as a message could be enough to make me smile and feel happy and loved?

Every second of every day i always find myself thinking of you. I feel so happy everytime I hear your voice. When I see you, I get so excited. And all I can say to myself is, "She is the most beautiful woman I know". Your touch makes me feel so safe. Having you in my life makes me feel complete. Im so blessed to have you, Marie Celine Isabelle. I hope you know that I love you so much.

Thats it. Thats my happiness in a nutshell Baby, i hope you know that I love you so much too mush mush mush...

here we go again... the weekend countdown haha

today was great because shortened periods are always a cause for celebration.. and it was ten times better because i desperately needed time to rest, i can feel myself getting sick.

yup, wrong timing. especially since ang daming gagawin.. for school, for days, and for my baby's birthday yihee

******

for the past couple of weeks, I've been having trouble seeing. short of going blind, my contacts have been blurry (even after repeatedly replacing them), my eyes have been itchy and red, and i suspect that my chronic headaches are eye-related too...

damn, i knew one day this was gonna happen. after being a contact lens- wearer for over seven years, it would be more surprising if nothing happened to my eyes. haha, i swear mag-glasses nako ulit! right....
