its the start of another week, but i seem to be experiencing a weekend hangover that is the result of a very happy past two days. i've been seeing my favorite people, laughing all the stress (??) away, eating, eating and eating some more, and just plain enjoying life. life really is good.

*****

53 to go. i cant freaking wait. the summer is calling my naaaaaaame!! aaaaaaaaaaaah.

i really have to go all out summer-stuff shopping soon

*****

(boredom.)

tums

can i just share how difficult it is to plan a summer trip with eleven other people and their conflicting schedules?? im super excited though. thisisit. hahaha.

i spent a good part of last night drooling and lusting over so many things on sneaker freaker. and then i decided to be productive, and did some ctk16 prep. AND THEN, i watched old grey's anatomy episodes. how's that for an entertaining monday night?

woke myself up this morning with a red velvet cupcake that my mom brought home from tita annie's birthday celebration last night (thanks tita!), and now im facebook-ing and uploading stuff on multiply.

here's to hoping my day gets better!

tums

today has been goooooooood thank You, Jess. if this is any indication of the days to come, then whoohoo for me!

and now im downloading GG episode 17. aaaah, i really love days like this! when everything seems to be going perfectly well, and things are just so relaxed, and its all just.. good.

now all i need is a huge chocolate bar, and then i can really say that everything is perfect haha.

????????????????

(tagged in facebook. i'm hoping answering this'll cheer me up somehow.)

huwatta day. the morning debate really stressed me out. i dont understand why authority figures insist on acting all superior and knowledgable when in fact theyre just plain.. ignorant. HELLO, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN M.A. DOESNT MEAN YOU AUTOMATICALLY KNOW EVERYTHING. sheesh.

and then my day went from bad to worse. even a chocolate ice cream cone couldnt make me feel better.

thank God im seeing cholo in a few minutes. i think he's what i need to get me out of this funk. im already imagining how kawawa he's gonna be later, when i start bitch ranting brat attacking hahaha.

and no, this is not PMS. hell nooooo.

tums

yesterday was my very own, one-week-early, friday the 13th. which is good when you think about, considering it coming a week early means next friday will be easy peasy. which is what we all need, especially since ctk16 prep has been very.. stressful. challenging. KJASDHKLFJBASKDF. you get the idea.

today looks promising. today looks like its gonna be okay, good even. im gonna stay positive, think happy thoughts and attract as much good karma/vibes as i can. good air in, bad air out. whooooooooooosh.

48 to go. now there's a happy thought.

for all that has been Jess, thank You. for all that will be, yes.

tums

yesterday was fun (and i spent a good part of the day doing the three things i love most: shopping, eating and spending time with cholo haha). today would've been fun too, had i decided to go along with cholo and his sisters on their little shopping spree slash field trip. i just didnt feel up to it, considering im getting REALLY overwhelmed with all that i have to do for the next 7 days. i think this week will be hell week #1. daaaaaaamn. last of the hell weeks, though. so something to be thankful for? hayayay.

oh my god. i really need to destress after all this. im so treating myself to a string of massages (not just one!) after im done. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

beach beach beach beach beach beach. (this is me putting myself in my happy place)

tums

(because no other show has more quotable quotes than grey's anatomy.)

tums

• finding downloadable grey's season 5 episodes!!!
• discovering a new place to buy REALLY CHEAP summer dresses
• enjoying my kitkat chunky
• feeling the beginning of what i think is summer heat
• finding out tomorrow will be a free day!!
• walking fudge and hanging out in the clubhouse
  
• having a really yummy lunch
• running days errands
  

..made me happy today

here's to a jam-packed week ahead!! i ♥ life. thank You, Jess.

tums

this is me laughing (at home, by myself!) while picturing chris' very vivid description of 'poor man's boracay'.

..and kritzia's reaction to that hilarious mental picture.

45 to go.

your/you're!!!! sheesh, get it right!

tums

Are Katherine and T.R. Leaving Grey's Anatomy?

tums

the stressful week i was dreading worked itself out SOMEHOW, and it was only this morning (when i was running back and forth between the 3rd floor and the 5th floor) that i realized how content i am with how everything is in my life right now. i am so so so stable and so drama- and issue-free, and im hoping it stays that way. and i want to become even happier than i already am. which i honestly think is pushing it, considering you should just be thankful for what you have and not be too greedy where happiness is concerned.

went shopping yesterday and bought too many sundresses at my new, favorite store that will remain a secret FOREEEEEEEVER. oh, but i couldnt resist and told kaye and queenie about it. i guess i was just too giddy from the shopping high that i had to tell SOMEONE.

the weekend starts tomorrow and im really, really excited to staff again! and im so excited for cholo who's gonna be going through an amazing (albeit stressful) three days. i cannot believe its ctk16 ALREADY. 7 years, this year. wooooooow. good job, ctk days!

so here's to spending the weekend: running around (with timmy!), being useful anywhere (so as not to be useless!), starving, pulling off surprises, making bola (as usual) while trying to sound like i am (somewhat) all-knowing haha, and of course d dancing

all for Jess, basta ikaw Lord+

tums

today was tiring, stressful, and almost tears-inducing. luckily i was able to hold it all in and remind myself that I WILL MEET DEADLINES AND I WILL NOT SURRENDER TO STRESS. hahaha.

*****

the whole chris brown-rihanna drama is seriously affecting me ha. i dont get how a guy can hit a girl. and dont give me crappy excuses like he must've lost his temper, or she was asking for it, or even that she might have given him herpes (i dont really believe this story though). all i know is, a gentleman NEVER EVER lays a hand on a girl. cholo can't even so much as pinch me. aaaah i hate chris brown for being such a stupid ass.

*****

this year's valentines season was sad, just because it also seems like break-up season so as much as i want to be all mushy and gooey and corny and talk about my love life with my friends, i have to remind myself to shut up and be sensitive.

*****

when i finally get over EVERYTHING that happened this weekend, i shall blog about it. right now though, my heart is still too full, my head is still in the clouds and im still (a bit) tired. so that entry will have to wait

tums

36 to go.

i rode a jeep ALONE today. for the very first time, IN MY WHOLE LIFE. okay so the experience lasted all of five minutes (don bosco-sm) so i really didnt feel like it was this huge, monumental, life-changing experience, but still. im giving myself a pat on the back for being fearless and independent, whoohoo.

tums

i hate how there are nights i dream of the strangest, wackiest, most out-of-this-world things. but i guess those nights are better than the ones where i dream of all my secret fears happening ALL AT ONCE. and they just feel so freaking real. to the point that i literally wake up shaking, and in tears. and all throughout the day, i cant shake off the dream and i just go on feeling sucky.

the mind is a powerful thing. everything you try to supress, it brings out eventually. i hate how i have all these subconscious issues that i realize at the weirdest times. i hate how together i am, and at the same time im just this really scared person that cant verbalize what she's feeling.

and my cholo was part of the 39,455 congratulations baby!! im so proud of you!

needless to say, yesterday was the 'sigh of relief' we've been waiting for, after THREE WHOLE MONTHS. thank You, Jess. as i said, Jess is SO GOOD TALAGA.

i got tagged by bianx in facebook as 'the one with all the gossip'. in short, ako yung chismosa sa barkada. hahahaha

awww but i really love my girlfriends. i messaged all of them about how i was feeling down and sucky, and a few hours later i get a call from australia. i love how bianx always makes it a point to be there for me, even when she's thousands of miles away. and im so excited for her to come home for good. FINALLY.

*****

i had a job interview yesterday morning and there i was all bibo and perky and enthusiastic (because cmon, who doesnt love a perky interviewee??) and the feedback i get is: "She tends to dominate the conversation and is a fast talker." HAHAHA so much for making a good first impression. we'll see whether or not i get a call to come in for testing. fingers crossed

*****

here's to the weekend being a lot less crazed than this week has been. im looking forward to tonight's date and hoping today will be relaaaaaaaxed.

tums

(because it is huhuhu season) friends, here are some songs you can sing/emote to (with matching 'a tear fell' drama) --

Forever and Always - Taylor Swift
We Ride - Rihanna
Lesson Learned - Alicia Keys feat John Mayer
Back Into You - Amber Davis
I'll Be Okay - Amanda Marshall
Foolish - Ashanti
..and of course, follow it up with Unfoolish haha

yes, grrrl power. and remember that no matter how bad it may seem, you are still better off than rihanna who was used as a punching bag by her psycho, pathetic, pig of a boyfriend (sorry, i still cant get over talaga)

Summit Announces Third Twilight Film

busy, busy week ahead. BUT im looking forward to it rather than dreading it, just because it means im one step closer to FINALLY BEING DONE. aaaaaaaah. here we go!

i cant get over Michelle Featherstone's 'Rest Of My Life' its been on repeat for two days now. aaaaaah. i love songs like this. theyre the EXACT opposite of huhuhu songs.

had a counseling session over at Don Bosco this morning, and i felt somewhat at peace after the two hours i spent with my counselee. i guess sometimes listening to another person talk about his life, problems, random thoughts, etc. helps you put things in perspective. i mean, about your own life. im relatively new at this counseling thing, and im not entirely confident in my ability to 'counsel', but im doing my best. next session i will be.. better. i hope. hay.

cholo refused to let me find my way from don bosco to glorietta alone (in short, he didnt want trust me to commute by myself), so he picked me up and we had lunch after that was goooood. i was so full! and i needed a release after the session.

so there, we pigged out like we always do. and i was so touched because he only had like an hour of sleep (he came from work) and still, he insisted on going out of his way to come get me. that definitely made my day.

We hold hands,
We take walks and talk,
And laugh about things.
I'll tell you what,
This could be the way,
That every day was meant to be.

I don't want to go,
I don't want to stay one night,
Or one day.
So i'll stay the rest of my life.

How 'bout that,
Waking up every morning with me.
Spend our time drinking coffee,
Speaking softly as the days go by.

Lent officially begins today, and i'm giving up soda this year. Cholo's sacrifice is waaaay harder, he's giving up sweets/desserts altogether. damn. the year i decide to do that is the year i realize that i have self-control haha.

tums

its been one days weekend after another, starting with ctk16, then acoll31, and finally yuppie days tomorrow. i staffed fulltime for ctk, visited acollege (and wouldve liked to stay a lot longer, tear), and will be at yuppie from saturday-sunday (hopefully). here's to my weekends being all about Jess. i really, REALLY missed this. i really, REALLY missed You.

*****

i dont really get to watch tv anymore, but i was able to catch the Oscars and i looooooved it. i love how they got past winners to present and sort of introduce the nominees, it was all very personal and heart-warming. and i love kate winslet foreeeeever. i watched it with camille, and the worst thing about watching things with my sister is that she NEVER EVER shows emotion. like when there are all these hilarious scenes, im literally laughing my head off (complete with 'hampas' actions) and she's just there. and i get really frustrated and i ask her "you dont find it funny????" and she just goes, "yeah, its funny". waaaaaaaah ano ba. she makes me feel like im the most mababaw person in the world for finding EVERYTHING funny. which, when i think about it, i probably am.

29 to go.

today was EXTREMELY sucky and the sweltering heat and crazy traffic made it even worse. BUT.. im still positive that today is gonna end okay. so wish me luck!

28 to go.
