im thankful for..

-the immersion in antipolo i decided to go on, despite my VERY strong feelings against it.
-our 'nanay' and cutie baby and all the new experiences that went with the 24 hours of us staying in their home. yes that includes sleeping on the floor, eating fish, and surviving not having electricity and a toilet inside the house. this was the funniest, we were asleep at 8 PM of friday, and woke up at 6 AM on saturday.
-the retreat that was fun. i didnt expect to enjoy, but the company was greeeeeat. it was so high school, we even had the 'ghost stories before sleeping' agenda, except this time it was along the lines of 'what happened in the issp in bicol' plus 'the most haunted spots in ac'. haha. freeeeeaky.
-the kuwento time in ad and joanne's room, tong its, cha telling my fortune with her cards, camwhoring with everyone, all the meal times plus all the sharing times.
-the countless times i've realized how blessed i truly am. thank You, Jess.
-my barkada, friends, family, etc. looooooooooooooove you guys.
-study sessions with pocholo, complete with me drafting his thesis analysis, completing his essays, and tutoring him in psychology. haha okay, yung study sessions puro siya yung nagbebenefit. hrmph.
-the past few days where all we've done is PIG OUT. chocolates, cakes, humongous burgers. you name it, we've eaten it!
-SHOPPING. you know what im referring to, babe

im excited for..

-jaycy's debut slash christine's graduation celebration tomorrow!! (we're gonna be all dressed up!! im so excited, its crazy)
-tessa's birthday inuman down south. field trip na ito! hello, we're all north people travelling to bf :D all for you, hun!
-bikini shopping with karla. we found a shop on saaaaaale. and no, we're not telling which one it is, and where it's located!
-FIRST SEM TO BE OVER. goodbye hrm, abnormal psych, learning and cognition, and DEFENSE!! hello hbo, social psych, etc.
-SEM BREAK.
-beach trip (HOPEFULLY.) paging karla, ree, tims, etc.

quotable quotes of the past days..

• 'Cosmo says it's ok to flirt' - Hasna Perez. i loooove it, girl
• 'okay. im gonna cry now' - ahem. the bangs of the PCG speaks! *wink wink* YUN IYON!
• 'tums, you have to realize that there are really girls like that! why do you think mistresses and HOMEWRECKERS exist? the important thing is to be vigilant. and to know how to nip things in the bud!' - wise words from my counselor, Ms. Regaya (dom's mommy!!), when i asked her why there are some girls who insist on flirting with guys who have girlfriends..

my friends and i were talking recently and the conversation shifted to our childhoods. it was fun reliving all those years! and it was hilarious, the things that we remembered. damn, those were good times. lotsa baduy stuff and really pathetic pastimes, plus so much bad tv shows, but still. being a 90s kid was waaaaay interesting.

(more..)

tums

"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."

now tell me, is there any assumption college student left that doesnt feel sad/disappointed/mad/pissed about the glorietta bombing?

i dont think so.

its so pathetic, but glorietta is my second (third?) home. im in that mall practically everyday. whether its for lunch, or for a last minute national bookstore run, or for merienda with pocholo. and to find out that a bomb exploded and killed/injured innocent people? WOW. that couldve been me. i was just there yesterday. i was planning to be there tomorrow. whats amazing is that I WASNT THERE TODAY. thank You, Jess. and yes, thank you, learning paper for keeping me cooped up at home today.

it was also so sweet that my friends were checking up on me the whole afternoon. it was funny because i was telling cholo, 'Do people already automatically assume that I'm in glorietta all the time?' haha. but it was so touching that my friends were sending me 'where are you?' messages and 'take care' messages. and of course there were 'dont go to glorietta' messages as well.

thank you tessa, timmy, angge, donna and camille. (yes, my own sister didnt know i was just at home. inassume niya agad i was out. haha)

the sweetest though was bianca who called all the way from australia. and when i answered, she was super frantic pa, asking me where i was and how i was. awww i love you bianca!!!

guys, lets all pray for the casualties of the bombing. lets just hope that they figure out who's behind all of this coz im definitely not okay to go to glorietta anymore, after this incident. damn. saan nako tatambay ngayon hahaha. just kidding. okay that was such a shallow thing to write (type).

tums

im sorry friends, but i think its time for us to look for a new mall!

talk about the ayalas having the worst string of bad luck, today there was a fire at a seafood resto in glorietta 4..

as i said, we definitely need to find a new place to eat/make tambay coz im not stepping into glorietta anytime soon.

WHICH JUST SUCKS because i was planning to do my christmas shopping there first week of november. and i wanted to go back for this dress i saw in sari-sari. and the jacket in zara... daaaaaym.

powerplant? it is safer kaya there? i mean, all malls are more or less the same in terms of security right?

asdakjbfkasbdf. hassle kayo, mga terrorists!

**beeeeach. beeeeeeeach. beaaaaaaaach.

maybe, some things are just meant to be lost.

take material things, for example. karla knows this, i mean i've already vented to soooo many people about how pissed i was that i had to be subjected to THAT. which, let me say, i wasnt even at fault for, at all!

but looking back, i think i was meant to lose that particular thing. because lets face it, i got something better in place of it. i mean, pocholo replaced it with a nicer one, so yeah. good riddance. haha

the principle of the thing though is that, what's lost cant be recovered anymore. right?

and that goes for 'friendships' too.

i say it again, good riddance!

i definitely got the better end of the (short) stick hahaha :D

tums

on a MUCH brighter note, i went to school to get my classcards today.. and let me just say, hooray for my oral communication and pr skills! haha because, i think, thats what helped me survive hrm and mr. magcase on to hbo!! yaaaaahooo for second sem subjects! :D

i also got better grades than i expected, especially in my abnormal psych class. waaaaay above the cut-off baaaaaaaaby. you may be a doña ms bacani, but youre someone i imagine myself to be a lot like, thirty years from now hahaha

NOW i can say i'm ready to graduate. BRING IT ON!!

tums

i think that one of the worst things you can possibly feel is..

youre not enough reason to _______.

yeah. all of the above.

tums

i cant wait to watch the new john lloyd-bea movie!!

yes, i am baduy.

out of curiousity (and sheer boredom), i decided to google my daddy.

seeing as how my dad died over 16 years ago, i wasnt really expecting to find anything. i mean, aside from the usual bank articles that talk about where he worked and his position, etc. its kinda impossible na din naman to expect to see stuff, considering the technology back then was pretty much nil.

BUT, i found this --

Rosalyn's Place Garden and Restaurants LAS PINAS
Block 3 Lot 24 Buenvenido Tan St.,, corner Jose Ma. Abello St., BFRV

aaaaaaah. super tagal na i've been wanting to visit my dad's street in BF. my lolo (who has a street in ortigas) also has a street there. the only things stopping me are: its just way too far, plus i have absolutely no idea where exactly its located.

who's game to field trip with me? :D
