hello blog! i missed you!

sept, i miss you all sooooo much! as in super!

ok i know you are expecting me to have an update on what's been happening in my life. next time na yun (sorry na). there's nothing really exciting in my life anyway.. just lots and lots of school stuff. yeah.. life of a college student.

anyway, i updated for another reason.. a very special reason. yes naman. haha.

for our nstp project, our group decided to have a book drive for the kids of montalban rizal (my kababayans hahaha). we call our project "booklod." so sept (and whoever else reads this precious blog of mine), i'm pleading for your help (sige na nagmamakaawa na ko oh).

if you (or your siblings) have books at home that you aren't using anymore, can you please just donate it to us? any book - as in any book: novel, children's book, textbook, etc. - that you give will be greatly appreciated. it will help a lot of kids promise.

since you can't drop it at our "bookloading station" (haha what a name) in up, i can just get it from you personally. if you want, we can meet up since miss na miss ko na kayo or i can go to your house na lang to get it.

sige na help us please. it's for a good cause naman eh. :)

thank you very much!! :)

here are some pics: (no connection to booklod.. haha)

thank you God

- for giving me the chance to study in UP Manila

i found out that i got accepted in UP only last May 4.. and i was so happy! :) good thing my upg was high enough to be considered for reconsideration. thank you God so much!!! :) i called the registrar's office and i was speechless after i heard the girl say that i got in. parang ako.. "ah ok po." i didn't know what to say next. after a few seconds, the girl hung up already. sobrang hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko so nag-ok na lang ako. hindi man lang ako nakapag-thank you or what.

the girl said my course is occupational therapy. just like you, i'm clueless as to what that course is. i read a short description of it in the UP website and i guess it's an okay course.

3 people have told me that it is a good course:

> my dad said that it's a good course cause he knows someone who graduated in that course. he said she has a good job now and i guess lives a comfortable life.

> when i told my ninang, who is a doctor, my course, she said: "ah very good. OT." i guess that's saying something (a lot) coming from a doctor.

> bela.. as in ysabella limjap, our batchmate, who by the way is also going to UP Manila. when i saw her in UST when i was withdrawing the credentials i submitted there before, she said that it's a good course. she said pampa will also be taking that up in UST.

i don't really care what my course is as long as i study in UP. haha. madali naman mag-shift if ever i want to pursue another career eh.. ang mahirap makapasok sa UP. as i've told other people, maybe this is my calling. who knows right?

i was quite busy the past 2 weeks because of medical check-up, enrollment, which was a breeze for me since i was one of the last who enrolled (actually the student volunteers there said i was the second to the last who enrolled but i can't be sure cause i still saw someone about to enroll aside from the last person they were talking about.. so maybe third to the last?), and the orientation. plus, as i've said, i also had to withdraw the credentials i submitted to UST.

- for giving me a mother like my mommy

actually, that should be: thank you God for giving us our mothers.

belated happy mother's day to all the mothers out there!! especially to my mommy!!

i love you mommy! thank you for everything!!! *mwah*

- i saw sept again

after how many weeks, i saw sept again.. and we were almost complete! yehey! even aira was there.. and denise! i missed all of you!! grabe!

sorry if i wasn't able to watch the movie with you. sorry din kung medyo tahimik ako (tahimik ba ko? mukhang ang lakas nga ng boses ko eh. haha) kasi inaantok ako nun eh and i got tired after i went to UP. but i had so much fun chatting with all of you in front of mcdo. like one of you said, parang canteen. dun ko na-realize na namiss ko na yung times na yun. oh how i missed our canteen moments! let's do that again..

- our swimming gimik finally pushed through

it was super fun!! i enjoyed it!

even if it's just a tricycle away, it was my first time to go inside club manila east.. as in to the pools and everything. i've been there many times before pero dun lang sa harap cause that's where i play badminton and frisbee with my brothers in the mornings. ang sarap din dun mag-bike and mag-jog.

kumusta naman ang pagiging tourism officer ko diana, liq and queen? mukhang todo promote ako ng taytay sa inyo! haha. of course, i love my hometown! :)

i enjoyed everything we did that day. from our long chat over lunch to our swimming race (though obviously i lost, i still had fun), our breathing competition (i won once.. queen ako kaya nanalo nung first), our kayak race (yehey i won!) and our slide galore.

haha the slide. so funny. hindi natin magaya yung isang guy na sobrang bilis. bakit tayo ang bagal? worst yung isang time. hindi ako umaandar!! haha. kailangan ko pang magsagwan!! haha. laughtrip talaga.

ang saya din ng merienda natin sa jollibee. ang saya na, ang sarap pa ng food! haha.

oh liqliq and diana ito na ang pinakahihintay nyo: (more pics if you click one of these)

attack of the shades

that's the slide at the back

napakagulo ng buhok ko

view from the top

fooling around

tawang-tawa ako

pedicab ride with diana

liqliq, himala wala tayong picture na tayong dalawa lang.. ay meron yata sayo.. pero sa camera ko wala.

diana, sorry kung wala kang picture sa slide. actually meron.. pero paa mo lang ang nakunan ko. sorry wrong timing ang pagclick ko. :)

queen, ang cute nung picture mo sa slide. :)

sept, let's go back! or kung gusto niyo sa beach naman next time. basta dapat complete ha! :)

april come back

2006-05-02T06:45:00.000+08:00

the fun, fun, fun yet hot, hot, hot month of april is over. :(

1 month to go before classes start again.. eww.. i don't wanna think about it yet.

i'll try to be optimistic and just think that i still have 1 month to enjoy my summer. yeah.. that's it.

anyway, here's what happened to me the whole month of april:

- frost's baccalaureate mass

instead of having the mass on the graduation day itself, they had it at a different day. it was only my kuya and i who attended because my ate had work that day.

- frost's graduation

yeah.. their graduation was in april already.

he got 3 medals... wow! :)

their batch had their own graduation song.. as in original. ang ganda! :)

we ate at tender bob's in greenhills promenade and then we played in timezone. fun fun fun!! finally, nakapag-drums na ko. it was soooo much fun! as in nag-aagawan kami kung sino ang maglalaro kasi sobrang sarap talaga. haha.

my ate and i played air hockey and i won! yehey! haha.

kuya, frost and i also played basketball. my kuya always had the highest score. on our last game, he told us that he will treat whoever beats him... guess what? i beat him!!! yehey!!! ang galing ko talaga! haha. feel na feel. so he treated me at ice monster cause i've been craving for it for a long time. actually, wala ring kwenta yung pagkapanalo ko kasi nilibre niya kaming lahat. haha.

supportive siblings.. yesss!!

congrats frost! :)

my turn

pose muna

seryoso ah.. haha

- lsm's grad ball

frost went with denise and i went with phil. hmmm... next.

haha joke. ang sama ko. okay. to give you an idea of what happened, i will just give key phrases:

> on our way there, bigla akong nahilo. i think it was because of all the hairpins on my hair.. haha

> i didn't really like my makeup. :(

> hindi nagsasalita si phil. sobrang sinasabi na ng lahat ng tao (including me) na kausapin niya ko pero minsan lang talaga siya magsalita

> thank God for denise, frost, vince and her date vera, paw and cj... sila na lang kumausap sakin

> during dinner, puro senti yung songs. ano naman.. haha. wala lang.

> the pictorial was hard! haha. hindi ko kayang gawin yung mga pose na pinapagawa ng photographer (eh kasi naman masyadong "touchy" yung mga pose na gusto nila. kailangan hahawakan or magkayakap. noooo!!). sinabi ko na lang na gusto ko yung simple lang kasi hindi ko kaya yung mga ganun.. basta...

> i saw a lot of batchmates. thank God for them! kinausap ko na lang yung iba sa kanila like cla (clarisse dizon) and pralaine.

do you guys remember kim buenaventura? she was a former batchmate of ours but she transferred after grade 6.. i think. anyway, she was also there. isa rin siya sa mga kinausap ko.

> the gazebo royale peeps had a surprise for us... fireworks!! how cute right?

> the bands that played were all reggae bands. parang ako.. wala bang hiphop dyan para makasayaw na kami? haha. but cla and i just danced together kahit reggae yung songs. haha. so fun!

one of the bands that played was tropical depression. everybody really stood up and went to the dance floor to dance. so cute! haha.

i had a moment of nostalgia there when they performed the song kapayapaan. favorite ko yun nung bata ako. i remembered my cousins when i heard that song because we often sang it when we were young while we were all taking a shower. awww.. :(

> went to have coffee at starbucks in metrowalk afterwards with vince, vera and frost.. just like after our prom remember? :) actually, we were supposed to go to eastwood after metrowalk cause frost's other friends were there. but we were all tired already so we didn't push through with the plan.

a flower for the ladies

with denise

phil and me..

prapra, me and kim

- meeting ton

first stop: eastwood

videoke then arcade. naglakas loob na kong kumanta. haha.

second stop: tiendesitas

we just ate and went around to look at the shops. we were supposed to ride the kalesa but their information center made a mistake. hay naku basta... sayang. gusto ko pa naman sumakay..

last stop: metrowalk

there was an event there. parang wrestling/ufc competition.

anyway, we went to phi metro bar to drink and dance. haha. so fun!!! i'm such a good girl. i only had my first beer (as in yung sakin talaga and naubos ko) that night and i'm already of legal age. ang bait ko talaga! haha. :)

liqliq and ton were so sweet and looked cute together. yiheee... :)

yihee... (hand ko yung isa. ano naman.. haha)

what happened to my eyes? drunk? of course not! sleepy i guess..

- went to UST to confirm my slot

finally may school na ko! haha. instead of psychology, my course now is biology. i think it's a better course than psych so thank God! pero biology pa rin yun - oh no!! haha.

- holy week

we had our annual bisita iglesia. and on the eve of easter sunday, we went to mass and joined the procession called salubong.

- puerto galera

went there with kuya, frost and his friends miko, kirbey and vince. it was actually frost's barkada's gimik and they asked my kuya to accompany them kaya sumama na rin ako. haha. too bad my sister wasn't able to come with us. kaya only girl lang ako.. haha.

it was fun! :) i enjoyed my time with my kuya since we were together most of the time. :)

i was able to eat my favorite food.. squid! yehey! twice pa. grilled tapos yung dried squid like the one i had in baguio. yumyum!! haha ang saya ko. as if naman hindi ako kumakain ng squid sa bahay. haha.

hindi ako umitim. i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ok lang sakin either way. i don't mind getting dark anyway.

we went there on a monday... right after holy week pa so ang konti ng tao, which was nice because i was able to relax. kaya lang sayang nung gabi. ang gaganda pa naman ng music sa mga restos dun. gusto ko na nga magsayaw eh kaya lang wala namang nagsasayaw. haha.

i loved hanging out outside our room. kahit nung gabi, mga 1 na hindi ako natatakot kahit mag-isa lang ako dun sa labas. yes ang tapang!! haha. i was just reading and enjoying the peacefulness of the place and the wind.. man the wind!! and sarap!

how pretty

takipsilim.. bye sun see you tomorrow :)

girl in the dark

where have all the people gone?

nakakasilaw yung sun

where is it? ang alin? ewan! haha.

sea of blue

kirbey, frost, vince, miko

about to leave

on the boat

with kuya

outside our room

*** i won't post a picture of me in my swimsuit. kasi most women there were wearing their bra top and shorts. eh ayoko naman na ako lang yung nakabikini dun so nagshorts na rin ako. haha.

- reggae

i'm liking reggae nowadays, thanks to lsm's grad ball. nung nasa grad ball, parang nakakasawa kasi puro reggae bands nga. but after a few days, i realized na ang ganda pala ng reggae. soon, i found myself downloading loads of reggae songs... mostly from bob marley, of course.

reggae makes you get into a beach mode and makes you want to head to the beach. :)

another reason why i started liking reggae songs is the nescafe commercial. yung may guy na naka-dreadlocks tapos nasa beach. ang cute kasi ng theme song dun eh. sobrang bagay pangbeach.

- my mommy's birthday

super belated happy birthday mommy!! i love you so much!!! *mwah*

it was her birthday last april 21. we just celebrated it at home. grabe! busog na busog ako. sobrang dami kong kinain!! haha.

my mommy and my kuya

- enchanted kingdom

i went there with frost, kirbey, phil, bryan, paw, vince and liqliq. again, it was their barkada's gimik pero sumama na rin kami ni angelique. haha. at least naman ngayon hindi na ko only girl.. actually only girl pa rin ako eh.. haha. joke lang liq! :)

it was super fun!!! i really enjoyed it!! :)

it was my first time to ride the space shuttle and it was super fun!! we rode it twice consecutively. nung 1st time sa likod na likod kami tapos nung 2nd time sa harap. super saya grabe. tawa ko ng tawa nung first time. haha.

i didn't get dizzy in any rides.. well, except flying fiesta. medyo nahilo ko dun ng konti. buti na lang yun yung last ride namin dahil kung hindi, naku ewan ko na lang. haha.

funny moment: after riding the flying fiesta, i felt something cold on my butt. when i touched it, it was wet!!! hoy hindi ako yun ha! baka kung anong isipin niyo dyan!! haha. basa pala yung seat ko hindi ko napansin. buti na lang hindi naman siya mabaho kasi sabi nila baka daw pee yun ng bata or something eh. eewwww!!! haha. buti na lang hindi. :)

my favorite ride is the wheel of fate. ang saya talaga! i got scared when it stopped at the top nung first time namin sumakay ni liqliq. kasi naman ang lakas ng hangin so parang pwede kaming hanginin. haha. and we took our cameras out pa eh baka liparin. haha. paranoid kami ni liqliq nung 1st time.

when we rode it for the 2nd time, we were already with frost, kirbey, vince and phil. ewan pero sobrang hindi na ko natakot kahit sa taas. sobrang sarap ng hangin as in! ang sarap maging hangout place. haha. kaya yun, ang daming times ulit namin inulit.

liqliq sabi ko palakihan ng mata

complete - kirbey, bryan, phil, vince, frost, paw, me, liq

aaaahhhhh!!!

si frost yan naggo-go kart

i'm scared!

go kart

the real go kart racers

the fake ones.. haha

is that my prince charming?

time for some brotherly love

view from the top of anchors away

the ferris wheel and the fireworks. how cute!

my favorite number

peace!

hmmm...

waaahhhhhh!!!

hey look!

the grand carousel.. where's phoebe?

hello mr. enchanted kingdom :)

welcome to the city of lights

*** sorry kung napakadaming pictures. naipon na naman as usual. binawasan ko pa nga yan eh kasi ang dami kong gustong ilagay. sorry din kung medyo madaming solo pics. vain yata talaga ko. haha. :)

p.s. sept, i'm sorry if i wasn't able to invite all of you. kasi baka isipin niyo hindi ako nang-iinvite. actually, i'm in no position to invite anyone kasi invited lang rin ako. si frost ang nag-invite kina liq and figi (pero hindi pwede si figs). and if ever pwede pala ko mag-invite, i assume hindi kayo papayagan kasi gabi yun and with boys and biglaan lang kasi biglang nareschedule that week eh dapat next week pa yun. so yun. sorry :) punta pa rin tayo ha (although feeling ko hindi na ko papayagan). peace! :)

extremely happy!!

2006-04-01T04:01:00.000+08:00

God is so good! i love God soooo much!!

last wednesday, i woke up late (as always). my kuya was using the computer and when he saw me wake up, he immediately gave me an envelope. i opened it and saw my grad pics and my card. and there was also a certificate. when i asked my kuya to get my card, i told him to ask ms. castilla about my medal (yung sa math-sci). i thought that they weren't able to order a medal anymore so they just made a certificate instead. but no! when i pulled the certificate out of the envelope, it said "academic excellence!!!" aaahhhh!! grabe ang saya ko to the max!!!it was completely unexpected.

sumobra pa ang kasiyahan ko when i saw that it was for the 3rd quarter and my average was 91.00!!! aaahhh!!! ang saya ko talaga!! i can't believe i was able to "achieve" that!! can you believe it?

when i saw the certificate, i cried. i really did. tears of joy of course. sobrang saya ko talaga. the last time i became an awardee was in grade 6!! so this is my first time in high school.. 4th year pa! thank you Lord!!

***sorry na if you think it's mababaw. eh ang saya ko eh bakit? haha nang-away na pala. :)

and ito pa. di ba palagi ko sinasabi na i think i will have my first line of 7 in the card for filipino since i didn't pass my notebook? when i looked at my grade in filipino for the 4th quarter, 90!! grabe. tumaas pa ng 1 point from my grade during the 3rd quarter. ang bait ni miss!! God is the greatest!

pero ang sad muna.

yung ethics ko, sabi ni sr. aileen sobrang bababa daw yung grade ko because i wasn't able to attend the mass. true enough, mukhang 10 points nga yung binaba ko!! grabe! 10 pts. pala sa card.. akala ko 10 points sa class standing or something.. hay..

i realized something... some things that i've been wanting to happen (during my high school life) happened to me this 4th year like:
- become a pru even for a day (eco-debate.. remember?)
- join a contest
- win a contest
- become an awardee
- join an outreach program.. as in outreach in a far place (nakar, quezon)
- participate in a major school activity (fair.. well, best p.a.s lang naman tayo.. haha assuming!!!)

meanwhile, these are the things that i've been wanting to happen (during high school) that didn't happen maybe because i didn't have enough guts to try:
- become a cheerdancer
- model (kahit during the fair lang.. actually, ngayong 4th year, desidido na dapat akong mag-try for the fair. unfortunately, wala palang fashion show nung fair. :()

anyway, that day, my ate and i ate at jollibee here in taytay. guess what.. we stayed there for almost 2 hours!! haha. it became our bonding session. we talked about a lot of things.. anything that entered our minds.

here's one thing i learned: mrs. miraflor was also my sister's filipino teacher when she was in 4th year high school. and you know what? tinanong ako ng ate ko kung nagroronda pa ba daw si ms. hahaha!! grabe when i heard that, natawa ako. parang ako: "ginagawa din niya sa inyo yun dati?!" grabe ang tagal na palang technique ni ms. yun ha! haha.

ito pa. tinanong ng ate ko kung nagkukwento pa rin daw ba si ms. about her family. haha! natawa na naman ako. sabi oo palagi nga siya nagkukwento eh. haha. and my ate said that ms. also used to tell them stories about her dog, queenie. haha.

it was super fun bonding with my sister. :)

i just finished reading "the clique" by lisi harrison. it is actually the first book in the series but since i don't have the next book yet, i will just read another book.

mukhang natambakan na ko ng librong babasahin. kasi naman every summer lang ako nagbabasa eh yung ate ko all-year round bumibili ng books kaya yan.. ang dami ko na ditong babasahin.. but at least it'll keep me busy this summer. :)

last saturday, queen and i went to liane's debut.

the setup of their house was so cute! :) when you register, they will give you a tattoo and a bracelet. and the music(reggae) was really suited for the beach theme.

after we sang the happy birthday song, biglang nagka-fireworks!! how cute and sweet is that? super! :)

here are some pics:

*** click one of the pictures for more. actually halos puro kami lang naman ni queen yun eh so kung ayaw niyo, wag niyo na tingnan. haha! ***

with the debutante

with queen and jean

hay naku naputol ako

with jean

ang oily ko na!! haha.

hey liq look. i was wearing the cute earrings you gave me. thanks again!! :)

sept, i miss you guys!! i hope to see all of you soon!! alis naman tayo!! :) mwah!

go shawty it's my birthday

2006-03-21T02:15:00.000+08:00

i'm baaaaaaaaack!!!

na-miss niyo ang pagu-update ko noh? haha feeling!!

wag na kayong magalit. ito na nag-update na ko. sorry na kung ang tagal ng pictures :)

wow. it's a record. 2 months of not updating? sino pa ang nakagawa nun sa sept? ako lang!! haha proud pa pala.

a lot of things happened in those 2 months. a lot of pictures were also taken that's why this entry will be super long; it'll be full of memories. haha. i will just post the pictures in another entry but the links are already here.

i'll try to remember as much events that happened in the past 2 months as possible. sorry if they're not in order.

>>> overnight at liqliq's

it was sept's first overnight outside school. pero sayang kasi hindi complete. figi and diana weren't there :( nevertheless, it was a fun, fun night!

we made music videos, danced and curled queen's hair. :)

>>> fair last january

it was alright. it didn't meet my expectations.. or maybe my expectations of it being super fun were just too high. maybe i didn't really feel the fair because i only came to school for the variety show and the concert. haha.

the opening ceremony was the best part for me. siyempre dahil kasama kami don!! haha. biased pala. pero totoo. ang ganda niya talaga. thanks to the p.a.'s (ahem!) who made sure all the singers and instrumentalists have microphones. and the rappellers, perfect! siyempre ako nag-cue sa kanila eh.. haha ano naman?

it was fun being a p.a.! haha. kahit nakakakaba kasi baka biglang walang mic yung band mo, fun pa rin. i love being busy. yung gantong busy ha hindi busy sa school work. i love the pressure! haha.

the variety show was ok. mas fun nung practice..

the concert was fine.. luke mejares!! sana siya na lang yung main act para naman nakasayaw yung mga tao ng mas matagal. he really rocked the gym!

>>> math-sci aces

one word: wow! thank you Lord for the experience and the suprise gift. i wasn't really expecting anything at all. i didn't expect to get past the elimination round, more so to win. thank you God so much!! i really love it! pano ba naman, sa dinami-dami ng mga sinalihan kong contests nung grade school, wala akong napanalunan. and in the only contest (i think) i joined in high school, i won 3rd place!! a big thanks to my team mates for being cooperative and really good. :)

sad muna na hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong medal. :( mukhang tapos na ang school year.

>>> LAPIS

wow almost a week without classes! but it wasn't that fun. we had tons and tons of school work to do. ugh. i don't even want to think about it anymore. graduate na ko. and it's summer!

>>> char's debut

super duper belated happy birthday charchar!!!

thank you for the party! it was fun!! :)

sana naman kahit konti natuwa ka sa mga surprises namin sayo.. although yung isang card eh march mo na nakuha. haha. at yung surprise namin na may kinalaman kay sir, sana natuwa ka (yung paper). forget about the greeting thing.. haha forget eh lalo kong pinaalala sayo. hay naku hayaan mo na yun.

by the way, hindi ko pa pala nabibigay sayo yung video. gusto mo pa ba? basta i'll find a way.. in the future. haha.

>>> confirmation

at last, i am confirmed! and i'm 18, so charchar, pwede na tayo magpakasal!! haha. kanino naman kaya?

nakakainis wala man lang akong picture nung confirmation. i forgot to charge the batteries for the camera and i have no picture from the official photographer!! grrr... nasan na ba kasi yun?

>>> bm field trip

we went to greenwich training center in mandaluyong and the coca-cola factory in laguna.

the greenwich staff and the activities they prepared for us were fun. i especially liked the group activity (yung magkano group, etc.) and the pizza-making activity. boy, was aci funny!! haha. sobrang tawang-tawa ako sa kanya. talagang siya pa yung nakatapat dun sa mirror kaya kitang-kita ng lahat yung mga pinaggagagawa niya dun. haha!!

the coca-cola trip was alright. we didn't really do anything there except watch the video, take a tour of the museum and the plantation and of course, take pictures!

the trip going back to school was fun. gising na ang mga tao kaya medyo maingay na unlike nung papunta tayo sa laguna na sobrang tahimik kasi tulog lahat. pero kawawa kaya ako sa bus!! mukhang ako yung "ginrill" niyo about my so-called love life na wala naman talaga. hay naku...

>>> bm bazaar

fun experience! ang hirap pala magbenta.. pero pag may bumili, ang sarap ng feeling. haha. ang sarap pa ng mga products namin.. :)

>>> debate

ewww.. i sucked big time. mukhang hindi ako prepared! kasi naman nakatulog na naman ako the night before. i'm the worst public speaker ever! haha. grabe pala.

i didn't realize that that day was going to be our last a&d meeting that's why i was surprised when sir nico said his goodbye. maybe i was nervous for the debate that's why i forgot that it was going to be our last meeting. oh well, hindi naman ako masyado nalungkot.

>>> people power rally

because of the suspension of classes, our defense was also cancelled.. syempre. okay lang sakin yun. pero ang sad lang kasi we were not able to formally say goodbye to some of our teachers like mrs. miraflor and sir bau eh gusto ko pa naman mag-goodbye sa kanila. as if naman kakausapin ko sila.. pero wala lang. gusto ko lang.

tapos yung message pa ni sir macky kay diana and to all of us. nakakatawa talaga siya. :)

>>> 4th quarter exams

grabe na talaga ko. mukhang wala akong na-review ng todo. halos lahat ng subjects inaral ko lang during the 30-minute breaks. thank God for that!

good luck na lang sakin. Lord, sana po wala akong line of 7 sa card.

worst talaga yung sa economics. i came to school without studying. tapos pag dating ko start na ng test. bakit ba walang study period nun? anyway, akala ko ethics.. but no! economics pala! grabe!!!

>>> thesis defense

ayoko na talaga ng public speaking!! 30-second speech na nga lang yung sakin, miness up ko pa! sorry groupmates.. :) but i hope i answered the questions correctly.

buti na lang at light lang yung defense natin. i mean nagtatawanan and biruan.. buti na lang din at sila yung panelists natin and si ms. castilla yung teacher na napunta satin. thank God! :)

>>> my blog's 1st birthday

belated happy birthday dear bloggie!!

umabot ka na pala ng 1 year. my first entry was on march 4, 2005.

>>> one last time farewell program

i was expecting that i would cry, but i didn't. not a tear.

the undergrads gave each of the seniors a white rose. some of us, like me, got more than one (i got 3!).

>>> flowers

first the white roses from the undergrads.

then a bouquet of red roses from phil (frost's friend). thanks phil! wow! i love flowers!! natupad na yung wish ko na makakuha ng flowers. yehey!! haha tuwang-tuwa.

and then mimi gave us a red rose during her party. ang saya!!

i sooo love flowers!!

>>> grad practices

i survived 2 weeks of grad practices. grabe! buti na lang ang fun ni mrs. fetalvero magturo. and fun din yung mga katabi ko. jo anne and dana were really kind and funny. meron pa kaming swaying action during the chorus of soar like an eagle.

grabe lang talaga yung pag practice natin ng prayer of rupert mayer.. one day? pero okay lang. buti naman at nakanta natin yun nung grad..

i like all the songs that we practiced. ang ganda nilang lahat kahit mabagal yung iba at ang hirap matutunan yung mga 2nd voice parts (lalo na yung sa Our Father).

>>> graduation

again, i was expecting that i would cry but i didn't. okay, i did. but only during monse's speech. after that, wala na. diba sabi ko feeling ko maiiyak ako pag kinanta na natin yung paulinian mission song dahil yun yung pinakafavorite ko among the paulinian songs? hindi ako umiyak or naiyak man lang. kahit sa paulinian hymn hindi rin.

pag ineexpect ko talaga hindi nagkakatotoo..

anyway, nakakainis naman yung flower. ang dami kayang naubusan! dapat 400 yung inorder nila noh.. haha galit na pala.

what happened to our 2-week practice? mukhang nagkagulo na sa singing and during communion (at least on our side). pero ang ganda pa rin ng responsorial psalm by martha and katsie. sayang lang isa lang yung mic nila kaya medyo mahina..

i just hope that my picture after the bow is fine. i wasn't able to pose. ewan ko ba, nagmamadali yata ako. tapos pag daan ko pa dun sa isang photographer na naka-kneel para dun sa angle na isasabit ni sr. teresita b. yung loyalty award, biglang nag-flash! naku baka walang picture yung girl na yun dun sa pose na yun. baka puro white lang ang makita dun kasi dumaan ako. sorry na hindi ko naman alam.. :)

nung pag-uwi namin, eh di magbibihis na ko. paghubad ko ng skirt ko, bigla ko na-realize na last time ko ng isusuot yung uniform natin. sad.. :(

by the way, nagulat ako nung makita ko si sir nix. wala lang. so dapat pala lahat ng teachers nandun. or baka lahat lang ng 4th year teachers. i think lahat naman nagulat kasi mukhang pagdaan niya ang daming nagbulungan. haha.

>>> mimi's birthday

i had fun! the pictures of the persons assigned for the 9 gifts and 9 witticisms were funny!! haha. mimi talaga.

during the pictorial, i asked mimi to do the moonwalk. haha grabe tawang-tawa ako!!! nag-moonwalk ba naman siya sa buong room!!! haha!!

queen is really the dancing queen! actually, the stop dance queen!! haha. ang galing mo talaga queen! sobra!! grabe tawang-tawa ko sayo. dapat nga pipicturan kita habang naka-pose ka eh tawa ako ng tawa hindi ko na na-click yung camera. don't worry si angelique naman yata na-picturan ka sa camera mo eh. go queen!!!

i took this chance to have a picture taken with my classmates. although hindi ko pa totally nare-realize na baka hindi na kami magkita or siyempre matagal yung next time na pagkikita, nasa isip ko na siya so nagpa-picture na ko with them. ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi ko to ginawa sa school para mas madaming tao pero feeling ko kasi talaga magkikita-kita pa ulit tayong lahat sa june eh.

wake up yayi. iba-iba na schools natin sa june. college na tayo remember?

>>> my 5-day debut celebration

yes ang galing pala. hindi lang one day ang celebration ko, five days pa! haha.

--> 3 days in baguio with my family

it was super duper fun! a great way to relax especially since this was the time when we had a lot of things to do. of course, this was also a time for picture taking!! haha. sobrang dami naming pictures.

thank you sooo much to my parents who allowed us to travel. too bad they weren't with us. but it's okay. they called me first thing in the morning to greet me. my mom even sang happy birthday for me. :) so sweet! :) i love you both soo much!!

thanks soooo much also to my siblings. my kuya and my ate had to file for a leave just so they could be with me and frost agreed to absent himself from school even though he had unit tests (parang summative.. so malaking percentage din ng grade yun). i love each of you sooo much!!

on our first night there, we walked along session road after dinner. soooobrang lamig!!! pero ang sarap! eh yung suot ko pa naman shorts lang! haha. pero ang sarap pa rin.

on our second day, my birthday, we visited the tourist attractions in baguio. ang tagal ko na since last na pumunta dun. grade 5 pa yata ako.

thank you to all those who greeted me. it really made me happy! lalo na yung mga nag-text na hindi ko ineexpect na magte-text, thank you very much! :)

before going home on sunday, february 19, we stopped by the Our Lady of Manaoag Church first to hear mass. ang tagal ko na ring hindi napupuntahan yun.

i love squid! favorite ko siya ulamin. nung nakakita ako ng inihaw na dry squid (yung parang daing), bumili ako. 2 sticks lang yung binili ko kasi ita-try ko lang naman kung masarap. sobrang nagsisisi ako kung bakit hindi pa ko bumili ng 100 sticks. we were about to go home that time kaya hindi na ko nakabalik para bumili. sobrang sarap niya as in!! sabi tuloy ng ate ko nagtataka siya kung bakit 2 lang yung binili ko. eh hello malay ko ba naman na masarap pala yun. hay... thinking about it makes me want to go to baguio and eat some. haha akala sa baguio lang merong ganun..

--> 2 days at the richmonde hotel with my shawties

i had lots and lots of fun with my shawties!!

thank you all for coming. thank you din sa parents niyo at pinayagan kayong mag-overnight. :)

thank you very very much for the surprise!! na-surprise talaga ko kahit nakita ko na yung mga balloons. feeling ko talaga may balloons lang dun sa room although at the back of my mind, i kind of thought na it would be part of my surprise. pero i wasn't expecting any suprise talaga. promise.

i was surprised that there were messages inside the balloons. talagang napasaya niyo ko dun! thank you! :)

i really hope you all had fun kahit na ganun nangyari sa mga buhok natin. sorry about that. :)

ang sarap mag-gym, mag-steam room (the best!) and mag-sauna. sige na nga, masarap na din mag-swim kasi ang warm ng water. :)

playing twister was super fun! kulang na lang mabalian ako ng buto basta lang hindi matalo ang seniors (right diana? seniors tayo!! haha).

queen, i enjoyed our little chat that night.. actually morning na nga yun eh. at yung energy level mo talaga that night ha! grabe!! pero okay nga yun eh.. fun!

pinanood ko pala yung video natin at tawang-tawa ako kay queen! haha.. yung action nya sa bye bye bye naaalala niyo? grabe!! the best!! dancing queen ka talaga!! haha.

liqliq, thank you for being the early bird! haha. pag text ko sa inyo ng room number pumunta ka agad. :) thanks din sa pag-alalay mo sakin sa mga "wa poise" moments ko nung tayong dalawa pa lang yung nandun. madami-dami din yun. kung wala ka dun sa stairs baka nahulog na ko ng tuluyan dun. haha. btw, ok na ba yung sugat mo sa paa?

denise, grabe gulat na gulat talaga ko sayo!! haha. natatawa ako ngayon kasi naalala ko yung reaction ko. haha!! dalhin mo ulit yung twister next time na mag-overnight tayo ha? naku kelan pa kaya yun? sana ngayong summer!

diana, thank you for giving me a pet of my own! haha. kizmo!! yehey!! i love it! ngayon meron na kong naki-kiss na dog. haha. totoo bago ako matulog kinikiss ko yun. love na love ko yun eh! so cute!! next time team mates ulit tayo as seniors sa twister ha? we're the best!! haha.

figi, the best talaga yung hiding place mo!! haha. akala ko nga nasa labas ka ng room eh! tapos pag open ko ng closet nakataklob pa sayo yung white robe!! grabe!! haha. tawang-tawa ako sayo!! haha. :)

charchar, thanks at kahit pagod ka na dahil sa open house eh pumunta ka pa rin. :) sayang hindi ka nakapag-sauna eh yun pa naman yung gusto mo. oh well.. next time na lang. :) naalala ko yung mga tanong ng mommy mo sayo nung morning. haha. lasing ka daw? haha. at akala ko talaga nung tulog ka na naiingayan ka samin ni queen! yun pala hindi mo kami naririnig!! haha.

it was fun spending the night and the morning after with you guys! thank you for making my birthday special and memorable! i love you all!! sobra!! friends forever! mwah!

growing up

2006-01-15T04:14:00.000+08:00

we are all growing up.

can you imagine that aira is already 18? and charchar will soon follow.

and then i'm next. 18? 18!

in a few months, a lot of changes and adjustments will have to be made. there will be sad goodbyes and happy hellos. why? because we are going to college, that's why!

ok. before i get melodramatic and all about leaving school and stuff, i have good news to share: fair is only a few days away! yehey!

i actually don't know why i'm so excited about it. i mean, i don't know what will happen and i don't really like the bands/singers (sana bamboo na lang!! bamboo!!) who will play, yet, i can't wait. maybe it's because i didn't go to the variety show last year so now i'm excited to see the programs/events/activities/whatever.

i just hope the fair will be fun and worth my anticipation and excitement.

anyway, here are the pics from aira's surprise birthday "party:"

happy birthday aira!!! :)

sights and sounds of divisoria

2006-01-08T02:09:00.000+08:00

i've been wanting to go to divisoria for the longest time. i was finally able to go and shop there last december 31. kaming 2 lang ng kuya ko kasi ayaw ng ate and frost cause they were sleepy.

trivia: this was also the day my dad left for the states. :(

it was better than what i had expected to see. akala ko literally sa streets lang kami mamimili (although sa street/bangketa kami bumili ng fruits for the new year) pero hindi pala. parang mall yung mga pinuntahan namin. actually, it's very similar to st. francis square. puro tiangge pero aircon. at take note: malamig ang aircon ha. :)

at last i was able to go to that famous 168. it was all right. there were actually a lot of buildings/malls full of tiangges that we went to.

i love the sights and sounds of divisoria. people from different status in life were there. may mga foreigners pa nga eh.

pero ang favorite ko talaga is seeing the old buildings of manila. i loooove the feel of old manila. we passed by old buildings and old cinemas in the famous recto and avenida streets. nakapunta na rin ako sa university belt. basta i really love it. yung feeling na parang time nila jose rizal. haha. hindi naman. mga 1950's.

dahil sa mga sights na yun parang gusto ko nang mag-road trip. gusto ko lahat ng famous landmarks/places in manila makita ko kasi naman ang dami ko pang hindi napupuntahan sa manila eh. my kuya had actually brought that topic up before and i think i want to do it. ok kuya let's go!

christmas with my family :)

hello 2006!

2006-01-03T03:05:00.000+08:00

happy new year peeps!!

we celebrated the new year with a bang. haha. it was only me, my sister and frost at home with of course janice (our household help) and edong (our trusted driver). my parents aren't here (my dad left the day before to be with my mom) and my brother had work that night.

because it's a new year, i've decided to have a new look! haha ganun pala yun.

ok eto na:

bye!

yehey!

2005-12-27T02:41:00.000+08:00

- yehey it's christmas!

belated happy birthday Jesus!

i love you!

belated merry christmas to all!

- yehey i ate a lot yesterday!

we had lunch at my tito's house. we do that every christmas because it is the death anniversary of my paternal grandmother. yes, she died on christmas day some 11 years ago. may she rest in peace.

ang bigat talaga sa tiyan ng japanese food. we had dinner at rai rai ken in galleria. we didn't go to church anymore since we already heard mass on christmas eve.

- yehey i have a new layout!

okay. don't laugh. i know it looks hideous and ridiculous but i'm proud to say that i was the only one who made this. i just patterned it after my original layout.

as i've said before, my background would be a collage of pictures. i'm sorry if you can't see all of them since some photos were overlapped by my entry.

i'm sorry too, if you can't see the text from my previous posts. see, i used light font colors so you would see them in my previous layout which had a dark background. now, since my background is light, you won't be able to see all of them. they are past entries anyway so who care right?

a new year is fast approaching so that means a new layout! haha ganun pala yun.

- yehey 2006 is coming!

thank you God for everything - good or bad - that happened in 2005. i learned a lot of things. thank you Lord for all the blessings and the trials. thank you God for 2005.

a new year means a new me and a new you! yes, let us all change for the better.

lazing around

2005-12-23T03:39:00.000+08:00

i watched mr. and mrs. smith and herbie: fully loaded only yesterday and the other night, respectively. i know i'm so late but who cares.

i looooved mr. and mrs. smith. and i so love brad and angelina. they look really good together. kinikilig ako sa kanila. i hope they get married and stay together forever. :)

herbie fully: loaded was all right. i liked lindsay's shirts. simple. and oh, her shades! wow i like.

i finally finished "the notebook" by nicholas sparks. i started reading it during the sembreak but i wasn't able to finish. i only finished now because of the gazillion schoolwork we had to do.

i loved it. naiyak nga ako eh. haha. i hope every one of us will find that kind of love - true, unconditional love that will stay forever.

now, since i haven't bought "catcher in the rye" yet, i am reading "sabrina the teenage witch."

the cake

playing around with frost. ang gulo ng buhok ko!

advanced merry christmas everyone!

***click the cake to see more pictures from diana birthday***

a variety of topics

2005-12-21T02:16:00.000+08:00

i'm so glad exam week is now over.. and i survived it! at least i think i have... for now, when the test results haven't been given out yet. when i see my scores.. yikes!

grabe halos wala akong naaral ng matino.. economics lang yata. yung iba.. while studying, nakakatulog ako.

anyway, forget about school. well, not really. kasi naman kahit vacation we still have to do those projects and read books (for filipino and english).

basta for now, all i want to think about is christmas, shopping, clothes, shoes, food, internet, music, tv, food, food, and more food! this is the good life! haha akala.

i'm hooked on eraserheads songs these days. i loooove them! i wish and i hope that they would get back together and create those beautiful songs again.

i read in the newspaper that they were dubbed "beatles of the philippines." that's how popular they were and i think they are still that popular even after they've disbanded. there's this new album made as a tribute to them. there were artists chosen to give their own rendition of their favorite e-heads song.

by the way, i forgot to mention this in my other entry although i assume all of you know by now. this is something very important to me so i have to allot space for this: i lost my mirror. huhuhu. :c

yes. that pink, round, super strong mirror that has been with me since i was in grade 5. i've searched everywhere to find it. but to no avail.

mirror, mirror, where are you?

omg i'm so baliw. pero promise nalungkot talaga ko nung nawala yun.

but thanks to my very caring sister, i have a new mirror now! after using the mirror of her face powder (see people, i don't use that powder or any powder for that matter. it's not even mine), i now have a mirror of my own - again! yehey! my sister bought it for me cause i was moaning about my lost mirror to my siblings before. haha hanggang sa bahay mirror pa rin ang sinasabi. i'm so crazy. haha.

i'm so excited for the fair! i've been waiting for it since the start of the school year. i was actually expecting it to be held last october, just like last year, so when i learned that we will have the sportsfest instead of the fair that month, i kinda felt sad. pero happy na rin cause we won't have subjects. haha.

i'm also excited about the upcoming australian open that will be held also in january. yehey! tennis marathon on tv once again. i just hope that nadal will be able to play. i read that he has an injury - on his foot i think. naku sana gumaling na siya.

i miss you! haha. ang tagal ko na siyang hindi nakikita..

belated happy birthday to diana! thank you for treating us!

diana's treat made me remember our research project. i enjoyed tallying! haha. kahit paulit-ulit, fun siya, and the pasting of the survey. basta i enjoyed it far more than i enjoy doing our a&d project. actually, that a&d thing is not fun in any way. hmp..

okay. remove all negative energy. it's christmas! we should all be happy!

these pictures were taken christmas day last year:

ang cute namin noh?

grabe ang bilis. almost one year ago na yun?

happy holidays everyone! let us all enjoy our vacation!!

pahabol...

2005-12-10T02:16:00.000+08:00

aba mukang sinisipag yata ako ngayon ah! another new entry!

haha. i forgot to put mention some things in my previous entry kasi eh.

>>> nakar, quezon outreach

wow. what an experience! truly one-of-a-kind. i am so happy i joined kahit na sumakit yung ulo ko nung pauwi na. super unforgettable adventure siya.

some highlights of that event:

- we rode a jeepney to go to the community where we would be doing our outreach activity. what's so exciting about that, you say?

fyi, it's not like other jeeps in the metro. it's a super strong and super galing jeep with a super galing driver and super galing and super tapang na guy riders. nakaya niyang makaalis dun sa napakalalim na mud and nag-cross pa kami ng river and mountain! oh ang galing noh?

sobrang muddy kasi yung road tapos dumudulas yung wheels. one time pa nga dumulas tapos ang katabi namin bangin! nakakatakot pero fun! haha. ang galing nung tools nila para hilahin yung jeep.

kaya lang, sumakit yung ulo ko dahil sa usok nung jeep pag tinatry niyang umalis sa mud. but it's all good.

- we prayed real hard when we were stuck in the mud and it started raining. the other manongs there tried to get the jeep out of the mud for more than 30 minutes.

truly, praying makes you feel secured. :) thank you God for helping and guiding us and for letting us reach our homes safely. :)

- helping in the packing of the school supplies. actually, i originally wanted to pack the rice, but sister had already asked the help of some mothers there in packing so i just started packing the school supplies. it was tiring but so much fun!

miss was right. ang gaganda nga ng mga dinonate na supplies ng mga first year. bagong bago pa nga yung iba dun.

- my conversation with some of the kids. yung iba nahihiya pero yung iba naman sumasagot talaga.

i really had a fun time talking with jonalyn and danica. pero si jonalyn talaga yung kausap ko ng matagal. may picture pa nga kami eh. she even helped me plant my tree and i asked her to take care of it for me. :)

alam niyo mga tinanong ko sa kanilang dalawa? about gma, erap, lacson, judy ann, jolina, kris aquino, etc. haha! showbiz and politics!

- funny incident: there was this person who was fair-skinned and has a short hair, parang pang-lalaki. eh di sabi ko naman kina queen and marz pwede mag-artista. sabi pa nilang dalawa may itsura daw. we all thought lalaki yung person na yun.

when i asked jonalyn who her crush is in their neighborhood or in showbiz, she said she has none. tinanong ko kung crush niya yung person na yun na fair-skinned and short-haired. bigla niyang sinabi: "hindi po lalaki yun." sobrang nagulat naman ako. sabi ko: "ano? hindi lalaki? bakla?" she said no. i said: "eh ano?" you know what she said?

"babae po yun."

grabe gulat na gulat ako. so i shared it with queen, marz and vicky and all of us had the same reaction. super shocked.

- tree-planting

ang cute kasi tinulungan pa ko ni jonalyn na iplant yung tree ko. we even have a picture with the tree! pero it's still with queen, kaya queen, pa-send. :)

- picture-taking by the river. wala lang. ang cute. :)

- queen's cakes (tama ba?) stopover. ang sarap ng food dun. ang mura pa. sana merong ganun dito sa manila. haha.

nakakainis talaga naubos na yung merengue (spelling?). ang sarap pa naman. haha. hanggang ngayon yun pa rin yung iniisip.

- brother mario. the pinoy with the long nose. haha. siya nagsabi niyan ha! he is actually dutch but he's been in the country for 30 years. ang cute niya! marunong pa siya mag-Filipino.

he even invited us for merienda before we go home (we went there kasi before going to the community) pero sayang, no time na nung hapon.

- curvy mountainside. nakakahilo grabe! hindi ako makatulog ng maayos kasi nakakahilo. papunta pa lang medyo nahilo na ko. lalong sumakit yung ulo ko nung pauwi.

>>> december 9, my mom and dad's 27th wedding anniversary

happy anniversary mommy and daddy! i love you both soooooooooo much!!! *mwah*

i can't find a picture of my parents together in the computer

>>> jean garcia's birthday party

our classmate ha. not the actress. haha akala kilala yung artista.

it was so much fun! sayaw lang ng sayaw! haha.

belated happy birthday jean! thanks for the treat!

>>> a while back

i watched eminem's 8 mile on tv. i've watched it for gazillion times already but i don't get tired of it. ang cute niya kasi eh! ang ganda pa nung rap niya sa last part ng movie.

what's been happening?

2005-12-09T04:07:00.000+08:00

i am so back!

after almost 2 months (ang bilis!) of not updating, here i am again. did you miss me?

where to start, where to start? ang dami na kasing lumipas na happenings eh!

>>> retreat

i loved it! best retreat in high school! i especially liked the confession part (gosh! i never knew some things were considered sins. ang dami ko tuloy nasulat! haha) and the candle-sharing (nakaka-iyak talaga. i guess it's because it was our last retreat and last year na natin).

i love the place! super sarap ng hangin and ang ganda ng surroundings. there were birds chirping in the morning. and the huts were soo cool.

nakakapagod din palang kumain.

>>> sportsfest

wow.

over-all champion? that's us! seniors! yeah!

the games were fun especially the volleyball games. although we didn't have anything to do after the games and since it was raining, sept had fun in our own way. we played pictionary (during lunch when the classrooms were open) and took pictures!

the seniors volleyball team after winning against the sophies

one team. one nation. go philippines! haha. as if! pero congratulations to the seniors volleyball team for being the volleyball champs! yehey!

aira! watcha doin?

go char! pose na pose ah!

finally, a picture with denise :)

nothing to do...

a kiss for a kiss

those fingers below queen are mine! haha ano naman?

finally, a picture with aira :)

whose eyes are those? guess.

in the gym: complete! buti naman kita na ko!

waaaaahhhhhhh!!!

>>> sembreak

it was fun to play all night and sleep all day. haha. baliktad talaga mundo ko. i miss that! kasi naman ang ginagawa lang natin these days ay study and finish requirements eh. can i just say na it is SO tiring and boring to do just that?

>>> november 1

happy happy birthday my dear kuya! i love you!

>>> november 2

it was raining the day before so we went to the cemetery this day. it was the first time for my family to go to the cemetery on november 2 cause we always go there on november 1. almost walang tao dun except for some people na that day lang din pumunta.

>>>figi's birthday

happy birthday figi!! thanks for the treat!

with the birthday girl

>>> family day

i'm so glad it's over! ang tagal ko din inisip kung pupunta ako dun or hindi ah!

>>> queen's birthday

happy birthday queen! you have to treat us! haha.

with the other birthday girl

>>> marian celebration

i wasn't absent, surprisingly. although i was absent last monday when it was the marian celebration of the high school department.

i promised myself last year that i would attend all the activities this year since this is the last time we are having these kinds of activities.

before the procession

in the gym

role play: i'm the killer and char's the happy victim. plus figi's pen.

>>> anything goes

- thanks to frosty for re-introducing me to arcade. grabe it is so much fun to be there and play! i wanna go back! i especially love playing basketball and the car racing. i also love those kiddie arcade games like the bowling and yung pupukpukin mo yung mga lumalabas na heads ng whatever.

basta arcade=fun. :)

- ang cute talaga ni ron of harry potter! yung mga expressions niya ang cute! super bagay sila ni hermione (though bagay din si hermione and harry)

- this is so sad: eminem is back with kim, his ex-wife. nakakainis bakit pa sila nagkabalikan?

- congratulations to all the athletes of Team Philippines! SEA games over-all champions baby!! yeah!

ito totoo na: one team. one nation. go philippines!

it's time to show the world that Filipinos are good in everything - arts, science, sports and in whatever field we are in. and let's prove to them (ahem) that we play clean and fair. people, stop sour graping please? remember: one heritage. one southeast asia.

the logo

the mascot

globe's slogan is really true: basta Pinoy, posible.

parang gusto ko na tuloy maging athlete. haha. how i wish. i want to represent the country. alam niyo naman na i love the Philippines so much and i am so proud to be a Filipino.

- christmas is just around the corner. and it can only mean one thing for me: shopping! yehey! that's why christmas is one of my favorite holidays! actually, i like all the holidays pero christmas talaga super fun. super fun din pala summer. holiday ba yun?

>>> other pictures

grabe she is an angel who helped me big time! sobra! though i don't think you'll be able to read this, thank you pa rin!

... for sept_shawties

in character: the player, alice in wonderland, the jock, the star, the witch and rosebud without her bodyguard..

thank you shawties for always being there... love you sept!

queen - grabe sobrang thank you!! lalo na for helping me with my sulatin. if not for you, i don't think i would have finished and passed it on time. also thank you for reviewing me for ethics. and of course, for your tissue!! haha. big help yun promise. and thanks for calling me to inform me about the retreat.. kahit na hindi kita nakausap dahil tulog ako. basta sobrang thank you queen!! :)

char - thanks for your help when i was absent (yung dati kong pag-absent). at yung "pag-aaway" natin sa gym, joke lang yun ha. tinotoo na pala.. :)

denise - thanks sa help nung absent ako. buti nakasama ka na samin nung birthday ni angelique. :)

figi - thank you for the hug nung math time (nung naluluha na naman ako). i really needed it. siguro hindi mo na yun maalala pero thanks pa rin. :)

… la salle won

i’m looking at the bright side of it. so for me, they didn't lose. they won 1st runner-up. i admit, nalungkot talaga ko. pero i kinda expected it na. kasi feu was hungry for it eh. and they wanted revenge for last year. so i sort of knew na mas malaki ang chance nila of winning.. but still, i never lost hope. yess galing.. akala la sallista.

now, with all the controversies around, it seems like their trophies for the last three years will have to be forfeited. pero sana naman wag. basta...

ANIMO LA SALLE!!

… for III – 5

grabe I’m missin this class more and more. ano bang meron ‘to at mahal na mahal ko ang class na ito? i miss sarenaworld! sana meron tayo reunion so we can party real hard.

grabe nung kinanta nila suzzy yung sa songfest natin dati sa room, naiyak na lang talaga ako. sobrang miss ko na everything about third year. classmates, classroom, teachers (miss sarenas and miss cruz!!!), corridor, washroom with mirrors. heck, i even miss going up to our classroom! grabe. miss ko na yung mapapagod ka sa pag-akyat from the canteen.

i love sarenaworld.

and of course, I have to thank the Lord for:

… my mom

she is the best mom ever!! thank you mommy for everything!

i love you and i miss you sooooo much!!!

… my dad

thank God he is out of the hospital already. he is fine but of course, he has to take a lot of medicines. and he can’t really go out of the house for at least a month.

you know what? i think this experience is a blessing in disguise. it has brought my family closer. though we were already close before, it has strengthened our relationship even more. we had a lot of bonding moments in the hospital. kahit pagod from work and school, we still found time to go to the hospital and talk.

basta i put my complete trust in the Lord. i know that He will take care of my daddy.

my dad is wearing my LA cap! it's actually his. inaangkin ko lang kasi you know.. may sentimental value sakin yun. haha. joke.

i love you daddy! we will take care of you!

***

i realized i have so much to thank God for. kulang pa nga yan eh. i know sa school paulit-ulit ko tong sinasabi, pero i'll say it again and i know that this won't ever ever change: I LOVE GOD.

He is so good. i know they say love moves in mysterious ways (ehem char), but for me, God moves in mysterious ways. promise.

kahit yung sa mga maliliit na bagay lang, i can feel His love for me. like dati, nung monologue, di ba dapat nung isang tuesday tayo magmo-monoluge,eh hindi ko pa memorize. pagdating ko sa school sabi ni queen wala si ms. visaya. sobrang i never expected it kasi the day before nandun si miss sa speech choir practice and she didn't mention it to us. pero God made a way na hindi ako mag-monologue ng day na yun cause He knows na hindi pa ko ready.

tapos yung isang time naman, nung absent ako. tuesday na ko pumasok eh yun din yung day na ipapass yung sulatin. eh you know naman na i'm super sipag, hindi ko nagawa. eh mukang 2nd subject ang filipino. biglang sabi ni diana pwede pa hanggang lunch!! grabe ang bait talaga ni God! tapos si queen nag-volunteer pang isulat yung sulatin ko! sobrang i love God for life!!

***

ok. sorry na kung napakatagal na nitong mga pictures na to. dati ko pa to inupload but as i've told you, i wanted to make an entry first. eh alam nyo naman, napakatagal bago ako mag-update kaya na-delay na rin yung pictures. sorry!

for the sake of updating

2005-07-22T21:38:00.000+08:00

as i've told char, i want to update but i don't really know what to write about..

so this entry will just be like freewriting in research. i'll type whatever pops into my mind..

i'm currently listening to the day you said goodnight by hale over the radio. o ayan charchar complete na yung title ha. hindi na goodnight lang. kasi naman napakahaba eh.

argh!! it's sooo hard to connect to the internet these past few days. sorry char and aira and aci. i got disconnected while chatting with you. so nag-connect ulit ako. eh di ayos na.. after a few minutes, disconnected ulit!! grrrr...

so now i'm typing this while trying to connect.

anyway, ano pa ba..

haha. i remember our homeroom period kanina. haha. mukang nakakahiya. we all got excited for our depths time every wednesday yun pala hindi pa tapos ang announcement ni miss! haha.

haha. ito pa. naalala ko when denise, aira and i were talking about sir during physics time. eh di sabi nga ni denise nakita daw niya si sir na pasakay sa car. tapos sabi ko: "bakit san ba kayo nakaupo? dun sa may shield?" whaaatt?? anong shield? mukang tawa na lang kami ng tawa. haha. shield?? i was supposed to say shed. as in waiting shed. haha. ok natatawa na lang akong mag-isa dito. haha.

yehey connected na ko!!

our tv is turned on channel 2. i saw jerry yan's plug for abs-cbn. cute pa rin pero yung hair niya nakakatawa. but it looks cute on him...

i'm now chatting with aira, queen, char and liqliq. wow first time! almost complete..

ok. turned off the tv. i'm now listening to the radio again. ass like that by eminem is being played right now. cute! lalo na yung "i joke i joke. i kid i kid." cute!!

i really like the idea having a college fair for us. that way, mas madaming schools yung makakapunta unlike before na may talks per school for 1 hour every homeroom period kaya konti lang. sana lang longer time. kanina kasi ang dami ko pang gustong puntahan or tingnan eh wala nang time..

buti naman we are the 1st batch to have a college fair. though their system would probably improve next year and there will be more colleges and universities that would participate.

with all the changes happening in our school especially all the "e"-changes, parang ayoko pang grumaduate. i want to experience them all! but then, i also want to go to college na din..

when will the longest yard be shown here in the philippines?? i've been waiting for it for how many years na! i wanna see nelly in a movie already!! and i hope eminem will have a new movie.. soon!

by the way, eminem's most recent album will probably be his last. :( huhu. he'll just be focusing on producing songs na lang daw kasi..

omg. exams are fast approaching. after that, upcat. Lord, help me please.. :) i really, really want to go to up.

as usual, a few weeks before the exam, there is always an influx of projects. haayy..

batchmates, learn to control yourselves ok? set a limit to your actions and follow it! and remember to keep distance even out of respect because he is our teacher, not our schoolmate.

last day of saturday review classes tomorrow. i have to sleep na.

wait. do you notice anything unusual in my entry?

if you guess it right i'll give you a prize.

haha. nag-game pa daw.

cge na nga. i'll just say the answer: it's not multicolored anymore. i want to sleep na eh. next time na lang ok? haha. as if importante yung different colors.

ok. good night!

sports stuff.. plus of course..

2005-07-02T22:56:00.000+08:00

hey.

oh my gosh. ang bilis. wimbledon finals na.

right now, venus williams and lindsay davenport are playing in the women's finals.

venus beat maria sharapova, the defending champion in the semifinals.

davenport won the 1st set. they are now in the 2nd set with venus leading. yes. talagang updated..

tomorrow, it will be the men's finals with roger federer and andy roddick playing against each other.

go federer!!

anyway.. i saw david beckham's commercial. yung gillette vector challenge. the prize is a trip to madrid to meet him! aahhh i wanna join and i wanna win! may naisip na nga akong plan eh kung ako yung manalo. haha. here goes:

after meeting beckham in madrid, i'll fly to mallorca, also in spain and meet nadal! aaahh!! perfect plan!

except i won't get to spain, cause i will not win in the challenge because i will not be joining the contest. sad.. :( haha.

ok. about the la salle-ateneo showdown naman kanina. i wasn't able to watch the 1st game. i just saw the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter of the 2nd game.

after the game, i heard the commentators say that la salle won in both games. yung legends and all-stars.. yehey!

go la salle! go la salle! go la salle la salle la salle! haha. kumanta na daw..

yehey! uaap na next week!

go la salle!

ok. update muna on the wimbledon women's finals. as i've said, davenport won the 1st set. williams won the 2nd set. they are now tied at 5-5 in set 3. exciting!!

i'm done with all my sports news. yess. feeling talk show.

now, let's proceed to our a&d class/teacher..

i didn't really like our a&d class last wednesday. there was nothing special or fun about it.

pero last friday, we had a "cute encounter" with sir.

haha. ang tipid. walang kwenta magkwento. yun lang pala yung sinabi. basta ayoko na magkwento.

and then just a while back, something happened again. haha. i won't say anything.

it's for us 4 to know, and for you to find out. kung sino yung other 3.. secret!! haha. may secret society na pala.

ok. bye for now! :)

p.s. i want to play tennis.. for real

newsflash: venus williams is the new wimbledon champion!!

yehey! mas gusto ko siya eh. ang galing! she beat the world no. 1! this is her 3rd time to win the wimbledon finals.

alright bye!

update... finally!

2005-06-25T18:05:00.000+08:00

grabe after almost 1 month ngayon lang ulit ako naka-update..

so this ain't a dead blog no more!! haha.

ok. so in that one month that i wasn't able to make an entry, a lot has happened.

- french open 2005

i've been hooked on tennis lately. actually, i watched the australian open last january. then i stopped watching tennis until i saw on tv that the french open was going on.

at first, i was only rooting for roger fedrer. but after watching his match against rafael nadal in the semifinals, i found nadal sooo cute and super galing. imagine, he beat the world no. 1?? and he's only 19! and on his debut at roland garros!

galing sobra!!

with federer during the photo shoot the day before the game

cute! favorite pic :)

so, during the finals against mariano puerta, i was rooting for nadal na! haha. cute kasi eh!!

he won!! aaahhh!! grabe he made history cause he is the youngest player to win the roland garros since 1980+ and the first player to win it on his debut since 1980+. hindi ko na maalala kung anong mga years and kung sinong mga tao holding those records before. basta nadal is the king of clay. yeah!

vamos rafa!

near the eiffel tower with his trophy :)

- opening of classes

feels like 3rd year. almost half of the class were my classmates last year. parang ang tagal na namin classmates.. to think na june pa lang. :)

- wimbledon 2005

it started last monday and will end next week.

nadal lost in the second round. :( ok lang yun. he admits he still has to improve his game on grass. kasi nga mas comfortable siya sa clay eh.

nakakainis lang.. hindi ko man lang siya nakita maglaro sa wimbledon!! grr.. i saw him during the highlights of the games lang. i wasn't able to watch him play talaga - as in yung buong game. kasi naman, nung sa 1st round, sobrang gabi na hindi pa nagsa-start. eh we have classes the next day. i waited for it nga kaya lang while waiting for the preceding game to finish, i fell asleep! hmp.. tagal kasi matapos..

then, during his game for the 2nd round, i slept the whole night! haha. so hindi ko napanood. tapos the next day after school, my dad told me na he lost daw. so sobrang nalungkot na lang ako. i watched the highlights of the games of the previous day. nung highlights na ng game niya yung pinapalabas, sobrang pinagdadasal ko pa rin na sana manalo. pero talo talaga. :(

dreamy

during feliciano lopez's - his friend - game against marat safin, he was watching. ang cute! supportive pa! :)

at least federer is still in. go federer!!

- belated happy father's day to my daddy and to all the father's out there!!

haha. sorry kung late na yung greeting ko.

*** since everybody's talking about and allocating space in their blogs for our a&d teacher (haha. ayaw pa daw sabihin yung name), i'll allot a few lines for him here in my precious blog. haha. a few lines?? baka humaba na to. haha.

ok. when people started talking about him, i couldn't really relate cause i haven't seen him. as in i have no idea what he looks like.

tapos when it was my chance to see him during our a&d class, surprise! wala siya! eh di parang ok lang kahit hindi ko siya nakita. pero yung seatwork ha! naku.. pakahaba..

buti na lang ms. visaya was kind enough to give her time to sir nico (oh ayan. sinabi ko din).

after our class, nahilo na lang ako. pabalik-balik siya sa harap. medyo nagpadagdag pa yung pagsa-stutter niya.

pero i can't help but notice his nose and his eyes! ang ganda! wala pa siyang suot na glasses nun so kitang-kita ko talaga yung eyes niya. tapos ang kinis pa!

good thing last wednesday, ang saya ng a&d. :) tapos smile pa siya ng smile. cute! bagay pa sa kanya yung eyeglasses niya and yung jacket niya sa kanya. haha. lahat na pinansin..

as i kept on saying last week, i never thought i'd say this: - kasi nung summer sobrang iniisip ko talaga na sana ma-cancel na yung subject na a&d - sana mag-a&d na. haha. excited pala..

anyway, that's it for now.

i'll try to update regularly from now on, aight?

see y'all in school! :)

sun, sea, sand, school and semis - not!

2005-05-30T00:06:00.000+08:00

aloha!

like i what said in my previous entry.. this will be about our outing 3 sundays ago..

we went to puerto azul in cavite. we stayed at the caysubic beach. we had a beachfront cottage so it was supah cool! the beach was just a few steps away and the breeze.. wow! sarap matulog. caysubic didn’t have a swimming pool. we still had to ride a shuttle to go to the puerto azul country club cause the swimming pool was there.

postcard pic. haha.

cottage near the beach

on our first day, we spent it swimming in the pool at the country club.

swinging by the swimming pool

after swimming

we were there on a weekend. the good thing is that saturday, an acoustic band was set to play during dinnertime.

the staff had set up a mini-restaurant by the beach. and there was a small stage/platform for the band. nice!

early the next morning, my brother and i went to the beach to play badminton. sarap maglaro!

after breakfast, went to the beach to swim.

i was the one who stayed under the sun the longest. there was even a time when i was all alone swimming in the beach. the result?

look at my shoulder..

before going home, we went to eastwood first while waiting for my brother have a haircut. afterwards, we heard mass at Christ the King.

haayy.. i want to go back! it was fun and so relaxing. :)

faaaast forward

last saturday, my sister and i first went to galleria where she bought some clothes. then we went to megamall where we bought all our school needs. i saw batch mates in both malls.

hay naku.. we wasted an hour in megamall because of that stupid promo whatever.. hmp..

sunday morning, my family decided to have an eat-all-you-can breakfast at cravings in katipunan. sarap! after eating, we went to edsa shrine to hear mass. after the mass, we went to galleria to buy some stuff.

all right. so obviously, i wasn’t able to watch the game between harbour center and granny goose last saturday right? so i didn’t know whether harbour was included in the semis or not.

i wanted to check the pbl site but my brother wouldn’t let me use the computer. i only found out sunday morning – after i read the papers.

pagkita kong talo, parang ako.. noooo!!! hindi pwede!!! sila pa yung na-out??? nakakinis naman yung granny goose eh!! grr!! haha. galit na galit na pala.

buti na lang hindi ko napanood dahil naku.. ano na naman kaya ang itsura ng mga players? siguro nakatulala na naman.. :(

char, ang supposedly last nood mo for the week nung tuesday eh naging last nood na pala natin for this conference. :( buti na lang may pic na ko with mac! haha. :)

anyway, sayang my sister and i weren't able to watch ashanti's concert.. pero ok lang..

look, my hair was this long:

a very long entry

2005-05-26T23:40:00.000+08:00

people people..

aight.. so i told y’all in my previous entry that my next entry will be about our trip to the beach right?

but a lot of things happened in the past two weeks that i can’t wait to share with y’all. so that beach stuff will be postponed.. again. :)

last wednesday

i went to school to pass my up application form. i saw lots of our batchmates. please lord, help me pass in up, please.. :)

last thursday

went to the lsgh gym.. finally! haha. went there with char, diana and queen.

we got there super early. as we were walking towards the entrance, a green car passed by. my eyes were clear that time (i wasn’t wearing my eyeglasses) and what do you know? marvin was inside the car! i screamed at char in excitement and surprise.

the guards said we can’t enter until 1 pm. so we sat there and all the players passed by us – including marvin! aaaahhh! sayang nga cause they were bacchus and granny goose players and not harbour players. haha. yun daw pala yung gusto...

char and i got excited because miss mortel told us – actually, she only told char but of course, char told me to go with her – to go talk to marvin.

when we got inside the gym, diana and i left char for a while to go to the washroom. diana was walking ahead of me but i saw the sign for women so i called her. the first time i called her, she wasn’t able to hear me cause the music was loud. when i called her the second time, i raised my voice. nung nilakasan ko yung voice ko, eksakto naman na tumigil yung music so talagang sobrang lakas ng boses ko. haha. laughtrip talaga.

our washroom adventure didn’t end there.

si diana tuloy-tuloy ang pagpasok dun sa may sign for women. there were 2 doors: one was opened and the other was closed. so siyempre dun siya sa open door pumasok. tapos bigla siyang lumabas sabi niya ayaw daw niya dun. i thought she didn't want to use that washroom cause it was dirty. pag labas niya.. may kasunod siyang half-naked player! haha. it was the dugout of bacchus pala. the closed door is the washroom for women.

after a few minutes, diana and i left char again to go to the canteen. the canteen below the gym was being renovated so we asked the guard if there was another canteen because we were sooo thirsty. he said there was no other canteen and a man there suggested that we go to 7-11 – outside la salle!

we decided to “explore” la salle first and fortunately, we saw a sign that said there was another canteen. we went there and it was open. haay.. yung guard hindi pa alam na may isa pang canteen dun..

on our way back to the gym, we saw espinas and la on their way to the gym. we walked real fast to keep up with them. but they were far ahead of us. the good thing is that all the harbour players passed by us on their way to their seats.

1st game

it was granny goose vs. bacchus. i was checking marvin and bj manalo out. haha. :)

granny goose won. :)

after the 1st game, we waited for marvin cause miss mortel wanted to talk with him. he came out of the dugout in a hurry. so char had to run after him to give her cellphone cause miss mortel was waiting in the other line. at first, marvin didn’t know who it was. but he recognized her afterwards. after they hung up, marvin gave the fone back to char and said thank you. aaaahhh! cute!! :)

2nd game

it was a game between harbour centre and montana.

montana had a big lead in the first half. i even heard mac tell his teammates that they’d make up for it in the second half. and they did! they tied the score in the 3rd quarter. but they weren’t able to lead at any point in the game.

in the last minutes of the 4th quarter, the players all looked sad. as in yung iba nakaupo lang magisa sa isang tabi at nakatulala.

harbour lost. bummer!!

last saturday

i had a haircut!! my hair ain’t that long no more..

last sunday

it was the first time after a long while that my family went to mass in the morning. we heard mass at edsa shrine. after the mass, we went to galleria. frost already bought his school shoes. i was also supposed to buy that day but they didn't have my size.

last tuesday

met up with char, diana and queen in galleria though it was only char, queen and me who watched the game.

we ate for a while then went to the pasig sports center.

1st game

toyota-otis letran vs. magnolia

we weren’t really watching the game. we were just talking and checking the harbour players out. haha. they were standing near us kasi.

the girl beside me asked la if she could take a picture of him. so he posed and he was smiling! cute! char told me to do the same thing. but i just can’t. i’m too shy. :)

the harbour players were just standing near their dugout while watching the 1st game. la wanted to sit so he sat at the magnolia bench! haha. pero hindi naman yung sobrang umupo ng matagal. yung parang umupo lang tapos tumayo ulit. basta.. tapos parang natawa siya. cute! :)

and then there was a time when he sat on the table. haha.

the girl beside me asked mac for a picture. and his pose was soo angas! as in! killer pose!!! again, char asked me to ask mac for a picture but i just can’t do it. I didn’t have the guts. sobrang hindi ko kayang gawin yun.

there was also a time when char saw sanz and espinas dancing. sayang nga i wasn’t able to see them do it..

during halftime, queen and i went to mercury to buy food. as we were entering pasig sports, the guard told us to use the next door. as queen was talking with him, we saw mac go inside the dugout. sayang hindi namin siya naabutan na nanonood ng game! kasi naman yung guard eh! haha.

magnolia won.

2nd game!

welcoat vs. harbour center

it was a super close game. super unpredictable. harbour was going to win na but no! that washington guy was able to shoot the ball and force the game into overtime. grrr!!!

grabe sanz was soo cute. para talaga siyang bata.. di ba char? kung ano ano ginagawa niya. haha.

and psychic char was able to predict that harbour would lose. and they actually did! bummer - again! haaayy..

but it’s all right. harbour only has to beat granny goose once to secure a slot in the semifinals. sana naman they’d win na!!

after the game, cardona was wearing a la salle jersey. aaahhh!! there were people who asked for his autograph.. eh he was holding his rubber shoes. how can he sign if he was holding something di ba? so you know what he did? he put it under his arm! haha. cute!!!

queen had her picture taken with luanzon. eh di nakapose na sila. tapos there was this tall guy - actually siya yung katabi ko.. eh ano naman? haha.. - who stopped right in front of them cause he was speaking with someone. haha. hindi pa siya umaalis, dumaan naman si gaco tapos tumigil sandali. i think napansin niya na nakaharang siya sa camera so umalis siya tapos sabi: “ay sorry.” bait!! haha. :)

the gates of pasig sports were already locked. and queen was outside. la, mags and bugs were in a hurry to leave. they asked the manong to open the gate. so sumunod na lang kami para makalabas na rin kami.

that was a fun day. though they lost, there were lots of happy moments. haha. :)

i was supposed to post this yesterday. i wanted to put pictures sana but my image host isn't working - again! grr!!

so since there was a game a while ago, i'll just talk about it here. yes.. kala serious discussion. haha.

when i opened the tv, the game has already started. pero 1st quarter pa lang. and i was surprised to see that granny goose was leading - by 10 points! 28-18. so nainis na lang ako. kala ko pa naman it will be an easy game for harbour - not that i'm saying na madali kalaban ang granny goose.

and then i saw la guarding marvin and vice versa. parang natuwa ako. haha. kasi i didn't expect them to be guarding each other. i never thought of marvin as a pointguard. although they are of the same height, hindi ko naisip na pointguard din ang position niya.

and char, di ba i told you last tuesday na if ever may game ang harbour today sa pasig sports, baka hindi ako manood ng live kasi parang nakakatamad? i take that back. kasi feeling ko ang saya manood eh. especially because marvin and la are on the court at the same time. ang saya!! :)

tapos ito pa.. la was having a hard time shooting! ang dami niyang tries but most of them wouldn't go in. even the commentators were saying na he's playing a bad game. pero at least he somehow redeemed himself in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter when he shot the ball and it went in. as one of the anchormen said: "you could have the worst 38 mins. and make up for it in the last 2." yes. memorize pa daw. haha.

and i think it was the 1st time that i saw marvin make a 3-pt. shot. galing!

nakakainis pa cause they lost! 2 points na lang!!! isang shoot lang yun ng bola. or 2 free throws. sayang! naku naku.. like what i said earlier, sana naman they'd win na!!! sana lang..

i wasn't really watching the game cause i was watching the american idol finale on star world. i wanted to watch it sana kaninang umaga pero nung nag-alarm ako inaantok pa ko. kaya hindi ko na napanood. good thing may replay..

when i woke up, i was really anxious to find out who won. i was soo rooting for bo bice. ang galing niya eh! cute pa! haha. then my dad said that carrie won daw. he saw it in the news.

so sobrang nainis na lang ako. pero i was still hoping na joke lang ng daddy ko yun. so i watched the replay.

haha. nakakatawa yung isang segment dun about simon. randy was rapping! nakakatawa yung itsura niya!

when it was time for ryan to announce the winner, i was still hoping for bo to win. but no. it was really carrie who won. :( magaling naman siya pero mas gusto ko talaga si bo.

actually, i wanted bo and vonzell to be the final two. so i got a little disappointed when she got eliminated but at least bo is in the finals.

anyway, it's my dad's birthday tomorrow. :)

happy birthday daddy!! i love you!! :)

it's been too looooong!!

2005-05-18T16:29:00.000+08:00

hey guys...

i haven’t updated for sooo looooong!

anyway.. here’s a little recap of what’s been happening in my life the past week..

2 sundays ago

belated happy mother’s day to my mommy!

heard mass at Christ the King then went to megamall and ate at cabalen.

last wednesday

went with my sister to her office in makati so she could complete her clearance. after, we went to greenbelt then to glorietta. we did some shopping for our beach outing then we watched the amityville horror. it’s not super scary..

last thursday

went to the pasig sports center to watch pbl. hay naku.. adventure pa ko bago nakarating sa seat ko with aira, erix and her companion. haha. nakakatawa yung mga dinaanan ko.

1st game was between nenaco san beda and magnolia. i wasn’t really watching cause i don’t like the teams playing. just talked with aira and queen and then during halftime, went to the seats on the other side so char and i could be behind the harbour bench for the 2nd game.

char came and we just talked.. not really watching the game.

magnolia won.

2nd game!

harbour center against toyota-otis letran.

grabe! great game! though harbour was leading the whole 2nd-4th quarter, and it was kinda obvious that they would win, it was super action-filled! as in there was so much tension between the 2 teams. of course, harbour won! :)

and mac got injured! twice! toyota resorted to violence na.. haha. joke.

best scenes:

- la had 4 or 5 3-point shots! grabe galing! he was on fire that day!
- mac and la sitting next to each other.. well.. almost.. there was an empty chair between them. if i know.. they were waiting for me to sit there! haha. feeling! just kidding.. :) kung pwede lang uupo ako dun eh!
- la and mac talking with each other!! aaaahhhh!! naku nung nakita ko talaga yun.. sobra ang kakiligan at katuwaan ko!!! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! :)
- a fight almost happened! ganda ng scene na to! haha. natuwa pa daw.. and sanz was in fighting form! he was soo ready to fight!
- mac throwing his bloodied headband to his fans. sana sakin na lang! kahit duguan na yun ok lang! haha.
- after the game, there were some people having their picture taken with la. and guess what? his shirt was only half on! ang cute pa nung position niya habang nagpapapicture. one arm was over the shoulder of the person and the other was holding his shirt. i wanted to have a picture with him but i was shy. :)

we also saw sanz and magnum go out of the dugout without a shirt on. and char! wahaha.. the incident with espinas.. nakakahiya at nakakatawa!! haha. nakakatawa talaga yung itsura mo!!

last saturday and sunday

so what?

2005-05-03T02:50:00.000+08:00

hey hey..

last thursday

i went to pasig sports center to watch pbl with char. actually, queen, aira, erix and others were also there. but i was with charchar the whole time because the others were seated at the other side of the court.

the 1st game was between granny goose kornets and toyota-otis letran. char and i weren't really watching the game because we didn't like the teams playing. we came there for the 2nd game! haha. and we were watching the harbour players watch the game! haha. they were standing near their dugout cause there weren't any vacant seats left. i saw mac cardona wearing a cap!!! cute!

we (or was it just me?) were complaining about a lot of things like:
- it was hot! there were aircons but then there were also a lot of people so baka hindi kaya ng mga aircon or maybe because it's summer..
- the smell man! halo-halo! may amoy ipis, amoy isda at amoy pawis.. well, you didn't really have to know that.. i just wanted to let your know the smell. hehe.
- ang tagal matapos ng game!

2nd half came and we noticed a cute player from the granny goose team - marvin cruz. he isn't really that tall but he is cute. :)

at first, i didn't really care who wins but after seeing marvin (yes close), we started cheering for granny goose! haha. too bad they lost. :( pero ang galing nila ha. in their game against montana i think last satuday, they won! first defeat for montana!! haha. natuwa pa daw eh.

oh yeah. there was an incident last thursday involving some granny goose fans. a group of fans were almost thrown out of the pasig sports center! kasi hindi mapigilan ang bibig eh! sorry. sama ko. kidding. :)

2nd game!

welcoat vs. harbour centre. harbour was leading until the last few minutes of the 3rd quarter. but they kept on fouling good free throw shooters and, as their coach said, they were relaxing, so welcoat was able to catch up and eventually win the game.. hmp..

after the game, met up with the others to talk. i gave my surprise, which i've kept for almost a month, to queen.

i waited a while after the game but i wasn't able to wait for the players anymore cause i had to go home already. sayang!

last saturday night.. err.. early sunday morning

frost and i watched the 50 cent house party on mtv. his house was soo big! and man! the party was dope! he performed with olivia and of course, g unit. super angas ni 50 cent!!!

his guests varied from fellow artists to his neighbors! swerte nung neighbors niya ha!

we have 50's new album: the massacre. ate and frost are saying that his album is good. almost, if not all, the songs are good. i haven't really listened to the whole album. but from the songs i've listened to so far, they are good indeed.

last sunday

kuya, ate, kuya's friend and i heard mass at the st. joseph church in greenhills. after, we went to galleria. we ate at mangan then went to see the last full show of xxx:the next level. good movie. great action scenes and the songs! cool! go watch it! :)

ja rules! chapter 2

2005-04-30T02:11:00.000+08:00

here's the 3rd and last part of my ja rule story: :)

so there was a technical problem nga. he talked with his bodyguard for a while and while they were talking, the music came back. he told the dj again: "stop that shit." so the music stopped. then ja rule was like: "ok. this is how we gon do it.." then he started rapping without music! as in a cappella! at first i thought he was freestylin' but his companion (protege i guess), who was singing with him since the start, was rapping with him in some parts so.. so much for my freestylin imagination. haha. after that, he sang wonderful from the start.

there was a tribute part for the rappers who have passed away. he sang so much pain, his song with tupac shakur. he dedicated it to tupac, lisa "left eye" lopes, ol' dirty bastard, notorious b.i.g. and to "my baby girl aaliyah." ang sweet! i think he dedicated it to other artists as well but i can't remember their names.

after, he said something like: thanks for coming.. i don't know how much you paid for this shit.. just to come here.. so thank you.. basta parang ganyan..

then he invited EVERYONE to the after party at v bar.. then went backstage. i thought he was just going to put on a new shirt but no! tapos na pala yun. nakakabitin! time flew by so fast! it ended mga 10:30 pm.

ito pa pala: when he was saying thanks, he was holding his cute green shirt.. the one he wore when he came out then removed.. i thought he was going to throw it to the audience! parang ako.. wag mong itatapon yan! itago mo na.. good thing he didn't! he was still holding it when he went backstage. buti na lang! dahil gusto ko sakin yun! haha. napaka-selfish na talaga.. ok lang na sa iba na mapunta yung towel niya.. basta sakin yung shirt! haha. i really like the color.

i forgot to mention that he threw 2 towels to the audience. the first was when he still had his shirt on and the second when he wasn't wearing his shirt anymore... aaahhh!!! sana kahit isa sakin! haha.

anyway, the stage was almost bare except for the turntable of the dj. on the stage, while ja rule was performing, were his rapper companion/protege, bodyguard, dj, 2 people who were just talking.. haha. bodyguards din yata yun.. or baka manager yun.. or for moral support. haha. basta ewan. yung isa nga dun pareho pa sila ng color ng shirt ni ja eh.. yess.. close na pala.. haha. basta yung green na cute. and ang angas ng porma nung naka-green na yun ha! sana nag-rap din siya.. haha.

by the way, the gunshot was repeated throughout the concert. cute!

also, ja rule's way of speaking is so cute and angas! he has cuss words in almost every sentence. it's so normal for him. nakakatawa nga eh! haha. syempre he's black and it's normal in the states. nakakatawa lang siya. sobrang angas!

after the concert, we stayed for a little while so that it won't be crowded when we go out. we saw some pba players also staying for a while. i thought jayjay was there but he wasn't. :(

when we went to the ladies' room, we saw 2 sexy stars. hello.. nanood lang kayo ng concert. hindi kayo yung nag-concert noh..

the concert was fun! good thing ja rule sang old, familiar songs and not just purely songs from his new album so the crowd was able to relate and sing along.

the crowd was hip and fun. most of them were standing the whole time and everybody was enjoying the music and singing along.

while in the car on the way to megastrip to drop my ate and her friend off, our driver said that there were girls who were able to take their pictures with ja rule. and we were like: "oh? pano mo nalaman na siya yun?" so he described him and his descriptions somehow fit ja rule. he said the girls were waiting at the south gate when a van stopped and a window opened and it was ja rule! aaaahhh!! ang bait naman niya to stop and open his window!! :)

sayang nga my sister wasn't able to go to v bar eh..

there! that's how the concert went.

basta cute ni ja rule! :) kinilig nga ako the first time he went on stage eh. :)

just got home from the concert:

ja rules!

2005-04-28T02:17:00.000+08:00

haha. ano ba yung title na yun?

so.. as promised, here's the continuation of what happened at the ja rule concert:

there was a gunshot.. sound lang.. :) then ja rule came out in a very nice (i like it!) green (the shade i like) shirt and of course.. his bling (supah dupah shiny!!).

he sang a few lines (can't remember what song) then suddenly, he said: "stop that shit."

so the dj stopped the music and then ja rule said: "manila, ima teach you proper concert etiquette. the first rule is to scream as loud as you can. scream at the top of your lungs.. and that's the only rule.." cute noh? haha..

then he goes on saying that we own the place so we shouldn't be shy to make noise...

after a few songs, he grabbed his towel.. tapos punas punas.. then he threw it to the audience!! aaaahhh!! nainis nga ako eh.. dapat sakin yun.. haha. selfish pala..

a few more songs.. then he removed his shirt!!! aaaaahhh!!! so all he was wearing was his necklace. eh di ba black siya.. - pero yung pagka-black niya hindi yung sobrang black na parang 50 cent or p. diddy.. siya parang pharrell williams.. or baka darker ng konti - sobra yung necklace niya as in kumikintab sa katawan niya!! aaahh!! ang cute!! :)

he had a good set of songs. he didn't just sing songs from his new album. he also sang songs from his previous album. even the songs that featured different artists like jennifer lopez, ashanti and r. kelly. their parts were sung by the audience..

and you bet i was singing! especially when he asked: "what's my motherf*cking name?" i'm real!! aahhh!! as in tumayo talaga
ako kaagad and sang along.. but the "r. u. l. e." wasn't that loud so he said to the dj: "stop that shit" again and i was like.. ano ba!! nabitin naman ako.. and then it played again and i was singing my ass off!! haha.

other songs he sang: always on time, livin' it up, new york, clap back, mesmerize, ain't it funny, so much pain, and wonderful.. well, that's all i can remember. he sang quite a number of songs because he doesn't finish all of them.. sometimes he will just sing the 1st verse until the chorus..

eto pa.. while singing wonderful, suddenly the music stopped. we were singing r. kelly's part that time. so when it stopped, we thought the dj really intended to do that so we continued singing since in the other songs.. when it was the audience's turn to sing, humihina yung music. tapos biglang sabi ni ja rule there was a technical problem daw..

stop!

i'd have to stop here again.. hehe. sorry. it's too long kasi eh. may pagka-detailed yung kwento ko ha.. :)

continue this again tomorrow cause i have to sleep na. ok? i have to wake up early tomorrow.. err.. later. :)

happenings

2005-04-27T02:06:00.000+08:00

what up?

seems so long since i last did this..

last thursday, april 21

my mom's birthday :)

happy birthday mommy!! i love you and i miss you!!

i was still sleeping when my mom called. my sister woke me up to greet her and when i got the cordless from her, i heard my dad speaking with my mom in the extension. i was so sleepy and surprised at the same time that as soon as i heard my dad's voice, i said: "daddy happy birthday!" my sister laughed and i thought "bakit? tama naman ah?" and then my daddy said: "mommy." tas parang ako: "ay, mommy happy birthday!" haha. presence of mind please! (hey.. i just woke up!)

that night, we had a celebration at home. so.. lots of food! :) yumyum!

last saturday

i sooo forgot that there were pbl games every saturday (maybe i was just excited for the concert. haha.) so i didn't even bother to check studio 23 or the newspaper. harbour centre played!! aarrrgghh!!

but at least they won. :)

so anyway, my sister and i arrived early in araneta. we went to starbuck's to meet her friend then we went to gateway.

as we were about to enter araneta, we wondered why it seemed like we were the only people entering. but then, we went in early so maybe people would be late.

but it was already 8 (time it was supposed to start) and still there were a lot of vacant seats left.

the host said the front acts would already start doing their stuff. it was already 8:30 but araneta wasn't still as full as that in the alicia keys concert.

the front acts were sun valley crew -> they're a rap group but only one of the members was present!, 7 shots of wisdom with picasso -> they were quite good, and ariana -> hmm...

and then kc montero and sarah meier went up the stage because they will be the ones to introduce ja rule on stage. but ja rule wasn't ready yet so they talked first (they were actually funny) and said that the winners of the mtv vj hunt were there too. they stood up so i saw them. they also said that they were backstage and ja rule was doing some pushups!! aaahhh!!! :)

hold up!

i'll cut it here muna. hehe. para suspense. this is already long.

i'll continue this tomorrow. promise. si ja rule na. :)

watch out for these: (yess.. may paganto-ganto pa.. kala movie)

- no shirt
- problem
- players!
- green
- bling-bling
- tribute
- collaborations
- concert etiquette
- gunshot

grr.. the photo host isn't working again!! i can't post pictures!

what?

2005-04-19T04:22:00.000+08:00

i watched City of God yesterday morning on tv.

wow! good movie. :) this is a brazilian movie and i think it won several awards in different award-giving bodies around the world. it was based on a true story. go watch it!

anyway, did you know that chad michael murray and sophia bush are already married?

yup. that's right.

they got married last saturday.

hmm.

that's all i can say.

bye! :)

my week

2005-04-18T03:50:00.000+08:00

haay. another week has gone by...

last sunday

went to our cousin's son's 1st birthday party at mcdo in eastwood. after that, heard mass at Christ the King Church then went to National Bookstore to buy some books.

after the party, pictures galore!

with my brother

after the mass

last monday

woke up early so i could go with my ate and my dad for my sister's interview. after dropping her off, my dad and i went to quickbuilders to get my prom pics (haay.. it's been weeks and i still don't have them!) but alas... it was closed. hmp..

we then went to angelique's house to give her the cds she ordered.

waited for my sister then at noon, went to galleria to eat to see my dad's dentist then after, did some shopping. :)

last saturday

watched pbl

it was harbour centre vs nenaco san beda. of course, harbour centre won!! yehey! :)

after a shot made by la in the 4th quarter, the commentators said that mac and la did this chest bump against each other but it wasn't caught by the camera. grr! i've been waiting for that! haha. though i didn't see it, i think it's cute. :)

yesterday

heard mass at St. Joseph Parish in Greenhills. saw a basketball player (banjo calpito daw sabi ng kuya ko) and judy ann santos. haha. :)

after the mass, we went to shopwise to do some shopping.

so that's how my week went.

our phone had problems for 2 days last week so i wasn't able to post an entry.

anyway.. my sister bought paris hilton's book: "Confessions of an Heiress." we've been waiting for that for months because they ran out of stock. i read some parts of it and i find paris very friendly and funny. there was one part there where she had tips on how to be an heiress. haha. :) and tinkerbell, her dog, even had a diary! haha. i should start reading that soon..

i read in the newspaper last week that prince harry and prince william were the ones who decorated the bentley that their father and stepmum rode after their wedding. i saw it on tv and it was so cute! it says "just married" at the back of the car. so cute! :)

i'm baaaack!

2005-04-10T04:30:00.000+08:00

helloooo!!

wow. i haven't updated for a week.

did you miss me? haha. who am i talking to??

anyway.. i was kinda happy last thursday.. know why? i'm sure char and liq know why..

PBL!! aaahh!!

finally! i was able to catch them play. i set the alarm just so i could wake up on time to see them play.. normally, hindi ako nagigising sa alarm ng fone.. but this time.. nagising ako!! aaahh!! :)

the first game... who cares about the first game? haha. kidding. i don't know who won. i don't even know which teams played.

the second game was between harbour centre and granny goose. and guess who won??

harbour centre of course! :)

la tenorio and mac cardona were soo cute!! :) and mighty mac (haha. nag-imbento daw ng moniker).. that's captain hook for you.. had 33 points!! wow. just like jayjay helterbrand when he played last Christmas Day. :)

speaking of jayjay.. saw him during their game last wednesday against sta. lucia i think. as usual.. he was cute as ever.. haha. arte daw. and they won!!! :)

my ate and i watched the godfather part 1 last friday. you know.. that 1970's film starring marlon brando and al pacino. it's good. though i got confused at times with the characters because some of them look the same. haha.

look:

haha. :)

miss the three of you! plus diana, figi and denise

bye!

something important

2005-04-02T03:20:00.000+08:00

yesterday, i went to galleria with angelique.

we had a lot of catching up to do! daming kwento! so sept, we SHOULD all go out. complete ha. :)

we met up at auntie anne's then did some window-shopping.

then we went to see the movie be cool starring john travolta and uma thurman. the rock was also there and boy was he hilarious!

after the movie, we strolled for a while then ate at red ribbon with my dad. we bought some stuff then brought liq to her house and we went home.

i forgot to mention this in my previous entry but something cute/good/happy happened:

after the picture taking with paul artadi (his arm was over my shoulder, by the way :)), he touched/tapped my shoulder and said: "sige. alis na ko ha." aaahhh!!!!!!! ang bait! i was like: "sige. thanks." grabe ang bait niya sobra!!!

here's a little game for y'all:

guess who this is:

clue: he is a hollywood star

liq: you should know this!!

ok. tama na.

this is serious and important:

let us all pray for Pope John Paul II. may God always be with him.

God Bless all of us! :)

the good and the bad

2005-04-01T05:02:00.000+08:00

ok. so this is the story of that eventful day.

but first.. the good and the bad.

the good:

i watched pba!! with karin, mlau, kat, issa (4th year) and someone else.

and guess what? it was purefoods vs. ginebra!! aaahh!! jayjay helterbrand from ginebra and paul artadi from purefoods. like what i told karin.. hitting 2 birds with one stone.

or so i thought...

the bad:

jayjay wasn't there!!! aaarrggh!!! how worse could it get?

the good:

i saw paul artadi! cute! not only that.. i also found james yap super cute!! as in!! aaahh!! :)

the bad:

ginebra lost.

the least that could happen since jayjay wasn't there was for them to win right? but no!

so it was double loss for me. haha. naiyak na daw.

good thing i didn't make that bet with kat..

the good:

i had pictures with paul and james (yess.. first name basis na daw.. haha). they are so cute!!

actually.. 2 birds with one stone nga.. naiba lang yung isa.. :)

the bad:

i hate my picture with artadi. gosh. i wasn't even ready.

so sorry.. no chance of posting it here..

on second thought.. maybe i would.. hindi naman ako yung titingnan ng mga tao diba?

but still!

the good:

saw mark caguioa after the game and grabe! ang angas!

the bad:

during the game, there were gay purefoods fans shouting mean things to a player. i won't say which player and what those fans were shouting cause it was really mean.

damn those mean ~~girls~~ gays.

the good:

went to gateway after the game

the bad: (not really)

we didn't watch the second game. i don't really like the teams playing though.. so it was alright.

the good:

i was finally able to satisfy my mexican food craving! yes! i ate at taco bell. the burrito that i ordered was pure beef so i wasn't able to finish it cause i was full right away..

ok. so here is the complete story:

i met up with karin and we went to araneta to meet up with the others. we went to starbucks because they said to meet them there. so i bought a drink for myself first then mlau called and said to meet her at the gate.

so we entered araneta and as we were walking to our seat (courtside but not behind the bench. the other side..), the ginebra players were coming out of the dugout and they were right in front of me!! nanigas na lang ako dun. haha. i stood there waiting for jayjay but all of the players had come out and he still wasn't there..

so i got a bit sad but i thought maybe he would go to the bench later pa.. so the game has started but he still wasn't there so i really got sad..

so yan.. game.. game.. game.. then halftime..

then game..game..game.. and purefoods won.

we went to the dugout to wait for the players.

after, karin, mlau, issa and i went to gateway and window-shopped a little. then they bought food and we went to taco bell to buy mine. issa left and the three of us ate there and talked about basketball.. no, actually, about the players.. haha.

around 9 pm, we left and went to burn's house to get mlau's dvd. and i had to pee there because i can't control it anymore.. haha. kailangan pati yun sinasabi..

then we dropped karin and mlau off at mlau's house.

so i went home. my sister got mad because i forgot that she had work that night and she needs the car. she has to leave home at 10 and we were still in pasig that time!

at home, frost and i went with our driver in bringing our ate to her office... in makati! so i had to travel again.. haha. kala sobrang layo..

we were supposed to buy food on our way home but my kuya called me and said to buy food later because he was going to work also and we had to bring him there!!

so we went home to pick up our kuya then went to his office! on the way home, we bought our food.

wow. what a day! busy. but fun! :)

me

hey you

2005-03-31T02:45:00.000+08:00

hello!

wow. had an exciting day. :)

yesterday -> wednesday.

many things happened.

both happy and sad. good and bad.

but i'm not in the mood to write.. err.. type.

know why? cause i'm sleepy man!

~~heard~~ read that? i'm sleepy! haha. gusto pa makipagaway. :)

i'll just do it tomorrow orayt? or whenever i'm in the mood. :)

bye!

p. s. no pictures for now. :)

rewind part 2

2005-03-29T01:23:00.000+08:00

ola!

gosh. the holy week has just finished. how time flies by...

last maundy thursday

we went for our annual bisita iglesia. we visited several churches for the stations of the cross. i even saw char in one of the churches in pasig, right char?

last easter sunday

my ate and i watched "The Passion of The Christ" on dvd. my sister had watched it last year but it was my first time and oh my.. i was on the verge of crying. i can't imagine how people can be SO cruel to Jesus or to any one for that matter. and to think they did it in front of His Mother!

if pacquiao's mother fainted after knowing that her son had a deep cut above his eyebrow, what could have Mama Mary felt while seeing Her Son be scourged and nailed to the cross?

we also heard mass that night in our parish.

i was also able to finish reading "Diary of a Mad Bride!" yey! but i will take a break from reading for a while. haha. i'm not in the mood to read.

a while ago

my brother and i watched spanglish. it was an ok movie starring adam sandler.

i was also able to see punk'd. and bow wow was soo cute there!! he was kinda afraid to stay close to the tiger. :) skinhead na siya!! :) but he had tattoos. :(

i'm loving lovers and friends right now. :) such a cute song! especially this part of ludacris: "that usher, jon, and luda had to do it again" and he pronounced usher as ersher. cute! i like lil' jon's part too with the shawty and all..

my fave cap.. wonder why.. haha.

til next time!

yehey!

2005-03-24T00:37:00.000+08:00

yehey! i've finished reading "Rosie Dunne!"

bilis ko no? i read for 4 straight hours the other day! :) haha.

on to my next read: "Diary of a Mad Bride" by Laura Wolf.

the name says it all. it's the diary of a bride-to-be.

look at this:

this was taken in hollywood by my beloved kuya especially for me! :) he knows i love britney so he took a picture of her star. he also took other celebrities' star like that of michael jackson, steven spielberg, etc.

look at the hulk:

that's my mom in red. i miss her so much!

that was also taken in hollywood. doesn't hulk look real? haha.

that's it for now. bye!

my day

2005-03-23T01:33:00.000+08:00

i went to quickbuilders yesterday to order my pictures. at last, it was open! haha. :)

but grr.. my pictures with the oscars wall as the background weren’t there!! i don’t have a picture there while the others had a lot! grr!!

but it’s alright. i have a lot of pictures in my camera anyway.

i don’t like my picture on the red carpet though. haha.

i watched bridget jones's diary a while ago. it was good. so funny!! especially the fight scene of colin firth and hugh grant! haha. when they stopped fighting to sing "happy birthday" to the guy in the restaurant, colin was singing: "happy bithday to what's-his-name" in tune!! haha!! frost and i can't stop laughing! it was so hilarious! haha. ang babaw daw. :)

i discovered this in our computer:

family picture :)

that picture was taken ages ago! i think i was in grade 3. that was our first and last (i think) family picture taken in a studio. i remember this was in galleria. i don't know what got into our heads that we decided to have our picture taken. look at my younger brother. so cute!! :)

i'm so happy cause i found the video of tipsy in the internet!! yehey!! i'll just post it next time. if i post it now, it will play the same time as still fly.. so.. just wait for it! :)

do you know the movie crazy/beautiful?

oh my! the leading man of kirsten dunst there, jay hernandez, is soooo hot! haha. ang arte! basta ang cute niya! here he is:

with kirsten dunst

cute right? lalo na sa movie! he was so sweet there! :)

i saw punk'd last monday night. usher and hilary duff were there. they showed next week's "victims" and bow wow is one of them!! ahhhhhh!!! ang cute niya dun sobra!!! skinhead na sya!!! super angas na super cute!! watch it! :)

anything goes

2005-03-22T03:51:00.000+08:00

i'm baaaack!! haha. kala ang tagal nawala.

last saturday, i went to quickbuilders to order my prom pics. when i got there.. surprise! it was closed! grr!! they closed early since it was a saturday and i went there in the afternoon na so..

but it's ok. :) i'll just go there today. i was supposed to go there yesterday but my dad called them and they said they will only be open until 12:30 pm and it was already 12:00 so i'll just go today.

anyway, these days.. it seems like all i do is eat, eat, and eat some more!! what's up with that?

i'm reading a book. it's called "Rosie Dunne" by Cecilia Ahern. it's a cute book. it's very funny with a touch of drama. the whole book is full of letters, emails, and greeting cards. there are no dialogues, no narration, none whatsoever.

there was a quote in the book: "mistakes are the portals of discovery." i kinda agree with this. it just depends on the person if he/she will learn from his/her mistakes.

i was also able to read her other book last Christmas vacation entitled "P. S. I Love You." that was drama with a touch of comedy. cecilia (haha close kami) is a good writer actually.

wow. my christmas vacation was fruitful after all. i was able to read AND finish a book. i'm so proud. :)

i have tons of books to read this summer. and they're my kind of books. light, funny and with topics i'm interested in like shopping and friendships. at least it will keep me from being bored. :)

look what i found:

still fly by big tymers

ok. so that's where i got my blog's name. i really like this song. it's so.. hiphop. haha. whatever. :)

this is so eeww :

i had a dream.. and guess what it was about...

chem!!! nooooo!! chem is still haunting me even during summer!! haha.

ok so my dream went like this: it was our chem periodic test and i was so surprised to know that that day was our chem test because i wasn't able to study. there was a part there where we had to answer orally and it started from c. n. 43. so i was relieved because i would still have time to study. so i went out to study and when i came back, sir velarde, our proctor that time, and ms. sarenas were angry.

and then i can't remember what happened next. maybe i woke up. haha. bitin.

ok. forget chem. forget the test. forget school. it's summer!!! :)

notice anything new in my blog?

well.. i actually added them a few days ago.. but i now have links, a clock - haha.. wala lang.. just wanted to put a clock - and you can holler at me too!! :)

and notice when you put your mouse over a link, the words become big.. haha.. ano ba yan. pathetic na ko. kailangan lahat ng changes sinasabi.. haha.. :)

i know this is so late but i'll say it anyway.

i feel so sad for pacquiao.. :( no. actually, i feel sad at the outcome of his fight with morales. but i'm still so proud of him!! he did our country proud by not giving up. :) go pacman!!

i wish i was good in a sport so that i can also compete for my country. haha. i can almost hear everybody say dream on. sorry na. kaya nga wish eh.. :)

i was supposed to post a picture here. but the image host isn't working!! haay.. maybe next time...

peace!

later!

i'm going to sleep now.

p. s. wow. for the first time, an entry without any pictures! later na. tinatamad ako.

vacation baby!

2005-03-18T04:17:00.000+08:00

yey!! finally.. school's over!!

time to hit the beach!! :)

wow.. what a year.. a lot has happened.. it's fun yet tiring at the same time.. especially during the 4th quarter..

anyway.. don't want to think about it. i'm just glad that the exams are over. :)

last wednesday was our last day in school. i still had to finish my computer project. while waiting for queen to finish hers, i took pictures. haha.

mia, suzzy, tricia, and dixie at the computer lab

after that, we went to liq's house to change into our gimik clothes. haha. time for pictures!!

after changing clothes. haha.

queen and me at liq's house

sept_shawties minus diana and denise went to shangri-la. we were supposed to watch a movie but we arrived late so we just ate at kfc and window-shopped for two-piece swimsuits!! haha. :) after char had left and as we were waiting for figi's mom to arrive, we went to figaro.

later on, liq, queen and i went to our class party at liane's house. we played langit lupa and there were surprises for mimi and liane because it was their birthday the next day.. :)

at the class party

queen left before liq and i did so we decided to walk with her to the gate of the village. but we got scared because it was quite dark and the lot near the gate was a grassy area. scary!!

at the party, we also played spin the bottle. if the bottle stops in your direction, you will have to say who your crushes in school are. some revelations were made though most were already open secrets..

as for me.. i'm proud to say that i have no crushes in school!! :) yey!! cheers for me!! haha..

still at the class party.. liq and me

**you know what to do... click the pictures for more!! **

after a while, i went home. at home, i took a lot - and i mean A LOT - of pictures of myself. haha. conceited?! sorry.. walang magawa eh.. haha..

some of the many pictures i took of myself.. haha..

the other night, i watched an old concert of usher (for his 8701 album) on tv. damn! what a good dancer!! super!! parang walang buto sa katawan!! he always removed his shirt to the audience's delight. he's got a body to show anyway.. remember: if you have it, flaunt it!! :)

there was even a time when he put his pants down so he was only wearing a jersey and his cycling shorts. boy, were the audience (composed mostly of women) pleased!! haha..

there was a part there where usher called a fan onstage. usher gave her a box and when she opened it, there was a lingerie and an usher shirt. then, he let her wear his bling and danced with her and hugged her tightly!! oh lucky girl!! :)

anyway, summer is here!! time to laze around. haha..

sleep all day, play all night!! baliktad pala ang mundo.. hehe..

ok. i'll sleep now. goodnight... errr.. good morning!! haha.. :)

p. s. oohhh.. i'll miss sarenaworld... :(

last day of regular classes... aww.. :(

2005-03-13T07:22:00.000+08:00

yey! finally got this thing to work.. :)

last friday was the last day of our regular classes.. aww.. i will surely miss a lot of things and a lot of people..

dixie, me, chrys --- seatmates!! i'll miss you both..

sept_shawties - i'll miss all of you!!

i took a lot of pictures last friday. during lunch, it was pictures galore for us!! i even took a picture of our bulletin board. haha. the mermaid and the quote..

the quote on our bulletin board

queen, liq, me

me, queen, suzzy

ms. pike gave each of us a bookmark.. aww.. sweet.. :)

ms. tidon said something to every one of us. what she said about me was that she was surprised to know that i was actually magulo. haha. cause last year, during her class, i was always - well, not really - quiet.

after the academic stuff in trigo, we still had some time left so we asked ms. jose to sing a few songs for us. she did, and we sang with her. after some time, some of my classmates were already crying.

that was a cute moment. :)

an even cuter moment was when we sang the songs we made in our english class. the songs had nice lyrics and great tunes. ms. jose liked it so much that she asked for a copy of the songs.

singing for ms. jose

after all that, pictures galore again! =)

group hug with ms. jose

2005-03-08T15:18:00.000+08:00

haha.. kala sobrang laki ng mangyayari.

i'm kinda glad that tomorrow, everything concerning P.E. will be finished: the practical and written periodical tests. one down, a hundred more to go. haha. O.A. daw. :) but really. we have a lot - and i mean a LOT of lessons to study! history alone can take a whole day!

oh what the hell.. i don't want to think about it now. i might forget all our steps! haha.

to liq my partner: SUPER good luck to both of us! mwah!
to sept: SUPER DUPER good luck to all of us! luv y'all! mwah! we can do it! :) hehe.

anyway, i just want to share this:
