the best way to snap you back to reality? a text message from maj that goes: 'To all AC girls. classes resume tomorrow.'

haha exag naman if wala paring class tomorrow right? obviously, there is na... i guess i just got used to not having to wake up early and go to school, and STRESS, that going back tomorrow to good old AC seems somewhat foreign.. oh well...

had a good, relaxing sunday with my family and my pocholo. abit draining though, coz i had to write cholo's paper for him... hrpmh.. hehe, kidding baby all for the love of you talaga, even if the paper was long and super tedious to do, its okay. youre worth it (yihee)

have tickets to the ust-admu championship game tomorrow but still debating whether or not to cut class for it. to cut or not to cut (class), that is the question... we'll see. i wanna watch, especially since its already the finals but another FINALS is coming soon haha, bad pun.

 

ONE BIG FIGHT.

ONE BIG FIGHT.

my day started out with my usual PE badminton class, and today i played against 4 of the last 5 people needed to fulfill my course requirements.

as weird as it sounds, i think that playing these past few months has actually, in some amazing way, made me a better badminton player. no joke. now i can actually make habol and give my opponent actual competition haha thats whay you call improvement.

ONE BIG FIGHT.

after PE, i made up my mind and decided to cut my afternoon expe psych class to go to the admu-ust game. good decision the game was SUPER exciting and SUPER CLOSE.... sayang talaga ateneo was this close to winning the championships.. and it just seemed like alot of their players were choking. during the last few seconds of the game and the overtime, i couldnt watch anymore and i was literally hiding behind cholo and peeking to see the scoreboard hehe

im not really a basketball fan and i know diddly about the game but watching it live always makes me super excited. i guess its the atmosphere, and the cheerleaders, and the crowd, and everything else that uaap games have to offer that bring out the basketball fan-girl in me all i know is, now im a macky escalona and chris tiu fan *droooooooooooool*

good game and good company despite the not-so-good seats. and yes, the not so bango seatmates (gross..). i had lots of fun, pictures will be up soon (when i have nothing school-related to stress about na )

ONE BIG FIGHT.

chloe fought her last fight. and maybe it was just something that she wasnt meant to win.

my friend and blockmate, chloe, died. im not exactly sure what sickness she had, all i know is she's been on loa for the past few months because she's been really sick. i was close to her, especially during first and second sem of last year because we were seatmates and also because we'd love making kuwento in Ilonggo (along with Hasna). she would tell me all her love, family, and personal problems and the great thing about her was that she was super open about her life. everyone can attest to that.

just a few weeks ago, she texted me out of the blue asking how i was, and she said that she was really sick and couldnt be left alone. i really regret not checking up on her as often as i should have, in fact when she texted me, i dont even remember what i replied to her.

we never lose those we give to God. i remember reading this on a tombstone, when we visited my lola one time. Rest in peace, chloe, and thanks for all the memories. Say hi to Jess for us. Basta ikaw +

one down, four more to go!

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

the countdown to sembreak has begun.

because our cable still has not been reconnected, we've been forced to watch (and appreciate?) abs-cbn's shows round the clock. yup, we only have one channel. it sucks because we miss all the good shows like top model, survivor, and the movies on hbo and star movies.

okay, im exaggerating, we have other channels like qtv and rpn (i think... who watches rpn anyway?) but abs-cbn's shows are the most tolerable so we stick to that.

the other night, i got tired of listening to kris aquino's voice on deal or no deal so i decided to watch a movie instead. thank Jess for the blessing of dvd players haha. anyway, i watched the family stone with all these really big stars like sarah jessica parker, claire danes, diane keaton, dermot mulroney, rachel mcadams, and alot more. how they got all these big names to star in one film is beyond me. i can just imagine how much the producers spent on getting all of them at once hehe.

anyway, the movie made me realize alot of things like:

• some moms wish for their sons to be gay (haha, you have to watch the movie to be able to get this)
• siblings do end up with siblings (or at least in movies they do..) for example: brothers end up with sisters, gets?
• i want a big family with lots of kids because christmas time will always be noisy and the house will be filled with people and food and gifts. oh, and i want snow outside the window too, and pine trees.. (right..)
• younger sisters will ALWAYS have something to say about their older brothers' choice of girl friends. believe me, there will always be a pintas.
• and girls will ALWAYS try to please and get close to their boy friend's sisters
• .. and mothers

and the number one thing i realized?

• im so lucky that cholo's family is easy to get along with and are so nice to me.
• and that they never gave me a hard time and i never felt that they didnt like me
• and that the scary, terrifying, gut-wrenching 'meeting the parents and family' part is over. whew. that was really one of the scariest moments of my life hahahaha (nervous laughter yan haha)
• and that they never gave me the third degree (okay, actually they did..) and asked me millions of questions about myself.
• and that his sisters are the sweetest, his parents are the nicest, and all his titos, titas, cousins, etc are the best and that his lola is my favorite haha

we live in a VERY SCARY world..

i dont know why but recently, i've been reading the papers more. and yes, NOT just the entertainment and lifestyle sections.

hence the title of my journal entry.

yesterday i read about this milk man who went crazy in an amish community and started shooting young girls in a school. he just literally walked in the school and into the classroom, where he ordered the boys to leave and made the girls line up in front where he tied them up.

uhhh, can you say P-S-Y-C-H-O?!

what is the world coming to? and when the police came, the guy shot himself, obviously to escape punishment. AND THEN, when they were inspecting his milk van (or truck, or whatever), they found weapons and get this, they found personal lubricant. eww, the guy was planning to rape the young girls!! S-I-C-K-O!

grabe talaga. thats what you call demented. and the guy has a wife. poor woman, she must be going crazy.

*******

locally, i havent really read or heard anything extreme recently. just this afternoon though, the tv was tuned in to abs-cbn (like it always is), and a news blurb came on about how this ex-player of ust was caught stealing! it was so weird, the incident happened during the UST post-UAAP championships celebration. the guy who used to play bball for UST came back to 'celebrate' with the school.. and he was caught stealing some girl's phone from her bag.

there pala for the celebration ha... guess the night didnt turn out as well as he had hoped.

haha. whatta loser.

*******

today was a regular school day. yup, finals are next week and there's alot of deadlines coming up. but im still smiling haha, optimism is the one thing you NEED during times like these.

that and a great boyfriend

the weekend i've been waiting for... SLEEP HERE I COME!!!

one more finals doooooowwwn! no more badminton whoopeeeeeee :D

aaaahhhhh... this weekend's still gonna be dedicated to requirements though. ugh, i still have theo and rizal to worry and stress about

*******

i felt so bad when my classmate started opening up to me this morning about how her blockmates used to pick on her and she was the designated laughingstock of the block. poor, poor kid.. some girls can really be vicious. and this classmate of mine is super quiet and unassuming and really, really timid. how can you be so mean to pick on someone who's practically defenseless?

anyway, this girl wrote a letter to the dean and eventually, the girls in her block stopped picking on her. the sad part about all this is that, now, the girls have found someone new to pick on. talk about a vicious cycle.

i felt so guilty when she was making me kuwento because i can remember a time when i was just like those girls. hello, high school? there were so many instances where my friends and i would laugh at certain people but we werent that bad. or were we?

guilt sucks.

*******

our expe psych defense is FINALLY over. Thanks, Jess. it actually wasnt as bad as i thought and anticipated it to be.

i dragged myself out of bed at 6 in the morning on a sunday, just to cheer the faith. boys on at their first game. haha. i was barely awake when i was taking a bath, i dont even remember if i shampooed or not... (seriously)

i was even having a clothing dilemma and was deciding if i should wear spags or not (coz i was thinking it was gonna be hot in the gym), or a skirt or capris.

AND THEN mikko sees me dressed and ready to go, and reminds me that i should be in the beautiful (haha) grey Faith. shirt. duh, malamang i totally forgot that i have a shirt pala for games! there goes my 'always ready with a certain outfit for every occasion' mentality...

we picked up Rianna, did some errands, and then we went na to Ateneo. i didnt even know that the league the Faith. boys were in, had a lot of games pala scheduled for just one day, so the entire covered court was gonna be used. basketball players of all shapes and sizes (but all under the age of 18), were present and it was crazy. haha. im not really into watching basketball games but for the love of the assistant coach and to support the coach, im there

watching little boys play basketball makes one feel so many different things at the same time! LITERALLY. haha, i would flinch whenever someone fell or got trampled on, cheer whenever they were close to scoring (which was few and far between), smile whenever the stage parents would elbow their way to the front to take their kids' pictures, and feel bad whenever someone cried. that was the worst, seeing the boys cry. awww, i wanted to hug them but that'd be a bit too weird...

so, we lost big time. i didnt bother feeling bad about it, because the kids sure didnt. kids are great like that, they bounce back so fast and dont dwell on disappointments and failure. thats just how they are, and for the faith. players, they were just so excited to be able to play that losing wasnt that big of a deal.

and hey, there's still more games coming up. who knows what could happen?

*******

after the game we were so hungry, so we went to Shakey's for lunch. i didnt get to eat breakfast and cholo didnt either so we were soooooo famished... and yup, we ordered enough for like four people hahaha and then, as if that wasnt enough, we split pa an ice cream bar with mikko and ree

*******

when i got home, i was too tired (tired daw? haha) tamad to do anything school-related so i decided to just rest and nap. i was barely able to get some sleep when i heard a loud, DISTURBING, meowing noise coming from right outside my window.

so, i pull up my window shade and open my windows, and true enough, a kitten was perched on top of the aircon, meowing insanely. to make a long story short, after about an hour of coaxing the kitten down my aircon and onto the roof above the laundry area, the helper FINALLY got him to come down. and now, MOMO (the helper named him haha) has moved into our dirty kitchen, complete with a makeshift bed and a dish of salmon (yes, his dinner is sosy because there was nothing else to feed it). my mom refuses to let it into the house so its just gonna stay with the helpers.

*******

had a good and relaxing day, despite all that went on. im so excited to get this week over with, considering its my last week of school. with that said, guess its time to get back to work

tums is now officially on sem break

aaaaahhhhhhhh :D i love not having to wake up early, not having to worry about passing something, and just plain being on vacation!

still have to go to school tomorrow though, but just to pass our expe psych paper, so thats not really counted. besides, i'll probably be there like 10 minutes, tops.

yesterday, being the last day of my 1st sem and all, passed by super fast. theo defense went well, rizal play even better, and english- was just toooooo long. we even extended 30 minutes, just so that the rest could finish giving their speeches. i tried, i really did, to listen but (im sorry) it was just too boring. haha. i wonder if they felt the same way when i was giving my speech (probably not coz *ahem* im so good wahahahaha)

so what does tums do instead of listening? yup, she makes daldal haha maika and i had a gossip/kuwento session and my over-all theory, that we all just revolve around the same social circle, was proven yet again. turns out she went to school (and knows) a girl that cholo once courted! she's actually the prettiest girl (next to meÜ that he made ligaw.. she's super pretty, she looks like mikee cojuangco.

aside from knowing her, maika's boyfriend (and ex) also went to lourdes for highschool! and one of them was cholo's batchmate.. see, small world talaga

after school, i had lunch with mommy and camille and we went around glorietta. oh my god, i love the Mango leggings!! *drooooooool* the fit is super nice and its just so pretty... shopping galore! haha :D

hassle thursday

had to wake up early yesterday and go all the way to school, just to drop off my expe psych paper. to top it all off, it was hella traffic going to makati because they were busy removing all the stupid billboards cluttering edsa.. of all days.. hrmph

and then when i got to makati, i couldnt meet up with maricar to give her the paper coz she had a test so i had to go to glorietta first. glorietta at 10am, right when it opens, it the best no crowds, no irritating people and the stores all to myself just the way i like it haha

cholo went with me to ac where we still had to wait for maricar, and while we were waiting, another 'oh cholo, i cant take you anywhere' incident happened... a friend said hi to us, a friend that we both knew, and he smiles and says really loud and obviously, "who's that na nga?"

cue tums cringing and wanting to melt.

hay, pocholo.. buti love kita ha! haha

after, we went back to glorietta and went days-supplies-shopping, and then went home for lunch. our afternoon-night was spent just punching holes in the tags, watching csi in camille's room and taking wacky/weird pictures.

happy birthday rose! i love you

friday the 13th

dandananan..... *insert scary music*

haha, today hasnt been scary or bad luck-y in any way. a weird thing that happened though was that this morning, the helper came to tell us that our neighbors who live two houses away found out that a capre has been living in their house! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh... so, of course, i had to find out if capres are capable of switching houses, etc because hello, i sleep alone. and my room is abit far from the others, and is scary at night (which is why i ALWAYS have to sleep with the lights on)...

argh. i dont like being scared. daym.

my saturday made me so thankful really, for all the blessings Jess has given me. here's why:

got up really early, to get ready to go to mary the queen for the truelight dwtl 6 recharge. we expected only five (tear...) to show up, but eight people came! okay, not exactly record-breaking or anything but it just goes to show you that you should be thankful for EVERYONE that Jess sends to help out. so, to: den lau, kyna, iya, timmy, tania, tina, kimmie and yna -- THANK YOU! BASTA KAYO!

also got to fix and finalize things with trix and karla so another thing done. there's still so much to fix and worry about but, kakayanin naman eh HOPEFULLY, kakayanin...

left before 12 to go to tuqs' surprise birthday party at mcdonalds greenhills. haha, i love it when non-kids have kiddie birthday parties. its just funny (and fun!). tuqs' family and friends went all out- with the themed party, the cake, the lootbags, THE GAMES (hahahaha), and the emcee. yesssss naman.... the emcee was SUPER LAUGH TRIP, she was game na game and demonstrating the butt-spelling game (even when it was so obvious that pinagtitripan na siya!) fun, fun

had to leave right after to go straight to laurine's birthday surprise at her house! adventure finding her place and when we got there, we were all so excited to surprise her.. awww, i love lau she's the cutest and she fed us pa! then we just made kuwento about the funniest/craziest things like armpit hair, eyebrows, etc. and we camwhored ourselves silly.

today was fun and again, i just felt so blessed with the people i got to be with and everything we did these are the days when everything seems perfect and the whole world looks PINK to me. because yes, if i had my way, everything around me would be pink and i'd be ecstatically happy

on the go since 6:00 this morning

just as the title says, yup i've been up since 6 this morning. and we left the house super early that i couldnt eat breakfast na, so i was majorly hungry. good thing the ateneo covered courts had like a little snack booth/ table so cholo was able to buy me pasta for breakfast

the game was fun and exciting as usual (haha) and watching the little boys is just such a treat. i was laughing at myself though, because i found myself SUPER geeky! i was analyzing the kids' personalities and using all my psych knowledge to explain why they were acting the way they did.... hey, im at least using what i've learned these past three years noh!

so as a painful repeat of last week, we lost. again. the good thing about it though was that the kids improved and the defense was alot better than it was before. so, at least a semblance of improvement was present..

we had to rush to ac, home, and back to ac again after because we had to bring mommy her shoes for the old girls' day velada. then we went to glorietta for a while to have lunch at fridays. yumyumyumyumyumyum. talk about MAJORLY pigging out. that lunch was gooooooood

went back to ac after for the 3pm showing of the old girls day velada. that was so much fun and it really made me miss highschool! no one has homecomings like ac, and no one celebrates it as bongga as we do. and this year's velada was extra bongga, just because the jubilarians were all big names like gretchen cojuangco, margarita fores, and of course, TESSA PRIETO VALDEZ. she was literally, the star of the whole show. every number with her in it, had her positioned front and center. she's pretty though, and has a great (albeit somewhat flamboyant) sense of style which makes me like her a lot

we left right after greeting A MILLION titas, and getting food (hehehe). the super malas thing that happened to us though was that when we got to the car : THERE WAS A CLAMP ON THE TIRE. and a notice of violation from the sanlo security that we (allegedly) parked on a no-parking zone.

its really stressful to make kuwento the full and lengthy story but the clincher of this whole ordeal was, we had to pay 500 friggin pesos to be able to get that stupid clamp out. thats local government and security for you, just basically there para perahan tayong lahat. mamatay na kayo, mga guards ng SANLO!!!!!

kuwento ;)
POSTED AT 10:48 AM

its funny because out of nowhere, i just remembered a time when a blockmate of mine and i were making kuwento and talking about what was the sweetest thing our boyfriends ever did for us..

and i just had so much stuff to share with her.

like how cholo and i were in calatagan for naz's birthday and we werent together yet and he stuck to me like glue the whole time. and how he didnt want to leave me that night when he and mike had to drive back to manila. and how he made me 'pagbilin' with martin coz he was wary of all the (drunk)guys there.

and the 12 midnight surprise he planned for my 18th birthday. and our 1st monthsary celebration where he surprised me with a candlelit dinner with wine and background music. and the first time he brought me to meet his family.

and basically just all the times he buys me oreos, hersheys, mushroom burgers, kitkat chunkies, cookies and cream ice cream, and the 12pack of oishi pillows- just because he knows i love it and am craving for it. and how he never lets go of my hand and whines when i unconsciously let go of it. and how he always wants to kiss/hug me and put his arms around me.

its true what they say that you have to work hard at keeping the spark alive in your relationship. with our luck and with Jess’ help though, our magic will never run out im betting it wont, what with how we treat each other, even after all these years/months.

16 today! its been 27 months haha, no its not our REAL monthsary, just a monthsary of something special

the best thing about the morning after an old girls day?

assumption tarts.

every assumption event we go to, bazaars, assumption days, old girls days, and birthdays of sr luz, always mean that we come home bearing tarts. hay, to the nuns of the past that screwed up the cake recipe and instead came up with the assumption tarts, thank you. haha.

rested and bummed the whole day and then got to spend the afternoon with my baby. we picked up my balikbayan cousin in Eastwood at around 6, and then went to tita mely's house for a dinner.

as usual, tita mely prepared enough food for a barangay. and as usual, she was piling it on everyone's plates, even if we were already protesting and refusing. and also as usual, cholo was frozen with fear at the sight of the titos.. this ALWAYS happens, even after all this time. hehe, poor baby..

i can already see the weeks flying by and the weekend of truelight6 coming closer and closer.

uhhh, puwedeng wag muna? too much, too much. daym. two weeks.

of back to the future and dry hands.

yesterday was tiring just because we worked practically the whole afternoon on the boxes.

my morning was spent in greenhills, supplies shopping and trying to convince camille to buy her phone na .. and i was also able to get na my princess phone strap! thanks babe

lunch at kfc. i will NEVER get tired/sawa of eating KFC yumyumyumyum

and then the whooooole afternoon was spent sticking stuff. cutting felt. tracing letters. and being sfx-y when im super not.

hence the dry hands title.

also, while we were working, we were able to watch high school musical (on dvd), the jerry springer show, elimidate, change of heart, and tada! back to the future.

that was our ultimate childhood movie. because my dad was such a movie buff, we had all the betamax tapes, vhs tapes, and laser discs of all the latest (at that time, at least) movies. and back to the future was one of the movies we watched ALL the time.

i find that movie so galing, just because steven spielberg is such a good director and he filmed all three movies at one time. thats why its so consistent and there are no bloopers or inconsistencies. galing talaga, i love watching all three

going to Divi in a while! shopping? ugh no, just more box supply buying..

hello again, tabulas world.

six days of NOT updating isnt normal at all for me. and these past six days have been super busy (hence my not updating), which makes it even more frustrating coz i have so much kuwento, and i dont know where to start.

i've spent literally everyday of my sembreak (so far) with my cholo which has made us both super happy, plus super fat. when we're together, we tend to eat more than when we're on our own.. why is that? maybe, when you love someone and youre happy you stuff yourself silly too okay, not making sense...

so far we've ....

gone to Divisoria, gone to countless malls, bummed at home, watched dvds and other movies on TV, ate at McDo and Jollibee, done work for True Light and Yuppie, gone shopping, went to CTK, went to Xavier, had Kenzo fixed, been depressed over Kenzo, bummed in Cholo's room, bonded with his family, enjoyed while Mommy went out of town for four days, gone to Paranaque, and camwhored on Cholo's new Moto.

not all in that order though

i've been pretty pissed these past four days though because my one month+ old phone has already decided to betray me and get sira. and im super SUPER ingat na ingat pa with it... AND! ang nasira pa, yung camera talaga... Carlo said nga baka coz i take too much pictures daw...

thank Jess for warranty. at least Im not worried about how much it'll cost, etc. the problem is, its been with Nokia for four days now and they STILL havent fixed or even figured out whats wrong with it. howell. i miss Kenzo though....

happy happy happy :) :)

friday

friday morning was my pack-and-relax time and i tried to get as much rest as i could, coz i knew that the weekend would SUPER tire me out haha then we had to go to Xavier early in the afternoon coz i had to fix the reservation for true light and i had to pay. goodbye twenty thou.. *tear* i shouldve gone shopping nalang with the money! kidding

then i went home to get ready for Rose's debut. i even had a clothing dilemma coz i wanted to wear a tube but i couldnt find a black one... i NEED to go shopping soon! i need more 'night' outfits (and more skirts  haha)

cholo and i got to Edsa Shang early (as usual) and so we just sat down and watched people as they arrived. Rose's guests were mostly Povedans (malamang, right?) and so we only saw a few people we knew, mostly Dazers pa.

we sat a table and Enzo joined us when he got there and pretty soon, a lot more guests came so the debut finally started. lotsa food (and drinks) so the eating part was fun then it was shots time!

i love being asked to be part of someone's 18 shots or candles, etc but what i dont like is taking the actual shot in front of people. maybe its because i dont really drink all that much to begin with...

anyway, it was really funny coz when mariel and rico (that dj and guy from pinoy big brother) called me for my shot, mariel introduced me as their 'mommy from days' and i think that rico misunderstood and thought i was a real mom (in the literal sense of the word) and when i was walking to the front, he said 'you're too sexy to be a mommy!' haha talk about cholo wanting to come up and slug the guy. ohwell.

and when i had to take the actual shot, i was so relieved because my particular shot turned out to be ovaltine! yup, the shots were all different, some were gag shots and some were real. like ryan's shot was orange juice, mariel's shot was a kfc chicken hotshot (cute!), and the others were like sprite, vanilla coke, etc.

had fun even though we had to leave at around 11 to go to Yuppie. its so great being a part of my days kids' lives, even if its just something as simple as being asked to be part of their birthdays and 18 whatevers. like, when it was Jowee's debut, i got super kilig when the invitation came and among all her celebrity 18 treasures and candles, she chose me there's just something special that comes with knowing that im as important to them as they are to me

******

we went to Xavier after for YDWTL and since it was so late na, we thought that we missed the first activity.. but no, turns out they were super (talk about super!) delayed and they werent even done yet! made me super praning coz next week, it'll be me running around making sure everything's on time. Jess, help me pleaaaaassssse....  

we also had to sleep over at the high-school part since Xavier kinda changed the reservation arrangements. wasnt that bad but it was a bit inconvenient for us.

saturday

we werent really able to sleep well (let alone eat, and take a bath properly) so cholo and i decided to go home and just come back for the afternoon. when i got home i literally crawled into bed and fell asleep and woke up just to eat and get ready to leave again.. thats staffing for you! super tiring that an hour or two of sleep feels like its enough to be eight.

when we got back, it was crazy since we were all getting ready to move stuff (and people) to the eed. that was hard and we literally had to trek through xavier and past the grade school and high school departments not to mention the soccer fields and all.

then we had to fix everything for all the saturday night events, which meant us missing a certain activity. got to bond and make kuwento with tims and blossom though, so that was fun

saturday night went really well, just as friday night did and we went to sleep tired but happy. two days down, one more to go!

sunday

for the love of food, the puppies went to pancake house for a BIG (and yummy!) breakfast. ree, tims, blossom, rai, kring and i squeezed into lex's car and went to ash creek (despite the fact that tims, ree and i had a meeting to go to at 10!) at around 9 since we couldnt stand being hungry anymore haha.

we had to hurry back for the meeting.. and whatta meeting it was. right guys? we had to endure airy people with big suggestions and ideas.. and yup, it was boring. thank Jess the anniv mass is coming up in two weeks, and then all the prep will be over. no more stressing, and putting up with him.

we spent lotsa quality time with Jess (which was great!) and tims, kring and i had our usual ubes... and my baby and i went to ash creek to pig-out YET AGAIN. then, we went to the gym to watch carmi's basketball game. girl's basketball is so cool, theyre so fun to watch. i still dont get the game though, and seeing them run around makes me want to .. sleep. but it was fun supporting and cheering for carmi haha

more camwhoring ensued when we got back and we also decided to rest up and sleep for the night's last activities..

it was a pretty good weekend, didnt feel as high as i usually do though. cant wait for true light 6 and im really excited for it! 

p.s. okay that was a really bad way to end my entry but im super sabaw right now haha  

randooooommm.

i finally caught an episode of Grey's Anatomy (totally by accident pa) and i can see why people like it so much.. i dont plan on watching it religiously and scheduling my life around it or anything, but at least i know that the next time around that i do catch it on tv, i can actually stay and watch it and not change the channel

******

one of the nicest and most nakakatama Days masses i've been to was the one last Sunday. aside from the fact that the music was concert-worthy and literally nakakatindig balahibo (and goosebumps-inducing), the homily was so loaded. the cool thing about it also was the the priest was Nicky's Days anak. yup, thats how old Nicky is, he's the rector of a priest na! haha.. Oh, Nicky

anyway his homily was all about how, more often than not, Jess is the one already coming down to our level and making Himself known to us, yet we still dont heed His call. like how some people who are invited to join Days decline because they have a party or a gimmick that same weekend. it was particularly apt because there was actually one participant who backed out because she had a party to go to that she didnt want to miss..

everyone has their own priorities in life. i guess, its a personal decision that only you can make. its not about deciding whether or not to attend the weekend but i think its more of choosing to be with Him over other things. take this weekend for example. im gonna be missing Abet's birthday dinner because of true light 6. i feel bad about missing it yeah, but i do know that i made a commitment to be at the batch and that's that.

hey, spending time with Jess is WAY BETTER than any other lakad

******

my day was spent doing work for true light 6. three days to go and tums is cramming. correction: WE'RE ALL CRAMMING.

i can already foresee a sleepless thursday night haha and yes, im pretty sure friday and saturday night will be sleepless as well. hello, eyebags. AND THEN, i have classes na on monday! an 8am class, i might add.

can you say f-a-t-i-g-u-e? i can already see myself getting sick mid-next week. (yihee, planning na kung kelan magccut.. hahaha)

******

it looks like EVERYTHING i planned to do this sembreak .. i didnt actually do

get my license, FIX MY ROOM, have my nails done, go to the spa and get a massage, and go shopping..

okay, so maybe the last one was the only thing i did

******

tums made the worst booboo ever

i accidentally blocked my sun sim..

so now, im second phone-less (or sim-less, in this case). which really sucks coz there are people who can only contact me through sun..

guess i have to go and buy a new sim. hay. hassle.

with the sour comes the sweet though, i turned my room upside down this afternoon, (unsuccesfully) looking for the sim's puk.. and i found around 5 boxes of cholo stuff. yup, basically everything he's given me or random things and memories of the past 3 years we've known each other..

so tums who was irritated and pissed suddenly became super kilig as she went through courtship letters, love letters, dried flowers, dozens and dozens of fruit tella wrappers, etc.

plus, i saved all the letters from cholo's younger sisters who love to write to me over the two years that we've been together, theyve given me letters and cards for practically every occasion super cute, i even saw a letter from Tisha that said "I cant wait to have you as my sister-in-law! I love you Ate Celine!"
