TO ALL BLACKBERRY ADDICTS :)

LOVE LETTER FROM UR BB

Dear Owner,

I'm so lucky I'm your BlackBerry!

You hold me with both hands as gently as you could be.

You ensure that I am always with you.

If I fall, you are afraid of my injury.

I always have your undivided attention, you get upset if others disturb our time together.

You can never forget me in a taxi & you won't let me go unlike my old friends Nokia, Sony and Samsung that you would proudly just hand over.

When you eat, I'm beside you.

When you are on the toilet seat, I'm with you.

When you're sleeping, my head is by your pillow.

When I scream, you rush and pick me like an egg.

When I feel low, you make every effort to recharge my battery.

When I am hungry, you fill me with airtime.

You buy me all sorts of clothes to cover my precious skin.

And if I make you feel like a cowboy you strap me to your waist or jeans.

Every month you ensure that you set aside the money, to buy me bundles (of love).

You upgraded me from my friends Nokia, Sony and Samsung to a Curve, Bold & Torch.

You rush home from work and spend quality time with me; not really bothered to make a conversation with those at home.

You can sit up with me for hours and smile at me, yet I have no humanly emotions; sometimes I make you laugh that people think you are mad.

I watch your wife/hubby or your bf/gf who envies our time together.

But dearie...
I appeal to you.
Your life is wasted because of me.
Take some time, leave me aside and Sort out issues that are important to you
because I may love you as much as you do love me but I'm just a BlackBerry,
nothing more!.

Kind Pings,

Your BlackBerry

-----

I can so relate aside from never forgetting my BB in a cab. I lost my first BB cos I left it in a taxi.

Impeachment Trial: What are your thoughts?

2012-01-17T01:28:00.005+08:00

The historic trial has started today and I was given the chance to go around and gather comments from the men and women of the street.

FB Comments, Inspiring Stories, I need help!

2012-01-13T04:48:00.005+08:00

It's already almost five in the morning and I'm still wide awake. Thinking of stuffs about work, friends and so much more.

On Monday, the 16th, will be the start of CJ Corona's impeachment trial and that would definitely affect our work flow being a news channel and all.

My friends are planning for a mini reunion on the 15th, at Nueva Ecija, nonetheless, as much as I want to go, I really am not sure.

I was given a challenging task I'm not planning to turn my back on to, to search for different people with inspiring life stories. Do you know some one? Please tell me so. :)

But what's really bothering me at the moment is that I can't put in the Facebook comment plug-in in my blog. I actually did but still, readers need to click on the comments link for it to show itself up. I'm not an expert in XML and my blog layout is so I was thinking about going back to HTML. But, if someone will be kind enough to help me with this, I might reconsider using this template still. :)

Day 3: Your Parents

2012-01-13T00:43:00.005+08:00

Mommy and Papa,

We are not the perfect family but you both know that I never complained about it, cos we may lack in some areas of life but you two showered us with overflowing love and that to me is more than perfect.

I was born at a time where movies and TV series show kids complaining about how busy their parents are but mine always give us quality time. I grew up with some classmates forced to get high grades, you instead gave us the freedom and sometimes even bring us to theme parks prior to exams to de-stress us. Other kids may have everything they've wished for, but I never envy them cos I have everything I need and more.

We may face trials and challenges at times, but I believe we can make it through together.

I love you! :)

Your most beautiful and only daughter,

Nini

How I will plan my life in 2012

2012-01-12T02:25:00.003+08:00

Just because I forgot that I need a new laptop sleeve and/or speakers for my iPod, I put in "cute planner" on a Kris Kringle wish list, perhaps because of frustrations brought by my previous Starbucks planners which I rarely even use.

I want to have proper time management. I've always wanted to be organized. But the Starbucks Planners were of no help. I'd definitely not use it half way. So, I realized a cute planner like the ones I saw in Filed would be a great substitute. It's more colorful, fun and definitely me. But props to @chasingrach, I got this:

Photo Courtesy of: Moonleaf

The Moonleaf planner because of a story too long to tell. It was so nice, cute and... Serene. Something not ME reason why I extracted my creative juices and came up with this:

Now, I'm ready to plan my 2012 with my handy dandy date book! :)

Day 2: Your Crush

2012-01-12T01:00:00.004+08:00

Dear J,

I'm not a secretive person, I'm quite obvious and open in fact, so I really don't understand why not even one suspects that I have a crush on you. Strange... But that's good though. I still can talk, look and stalk you without someone caring to notice. :)

At 22, I believe I'm already old to have a "high-school-like" crush but I really can't resist you! Please don't stop smiling at me each time we meet! I shall keep your photos on my phone. Hahahaha! :D

Happy and still kinikilig,

Bien :)

Day 1: Your Best Friend

2012-01-11T01:05:00.005+08:00

Dear Teds,

Whoever said that best friends are persons alike never met someone/thing like us. We are evidently not compatible. I'm boisterous you're timid. I'm romance you're sci-fi. I'm Arts you're Science. We maybe even are each other's exact opposite. But now, I can fully decipher why you said no one can and will ever understand what we are but the two of us alone. We are two ambiguous individuals and together, we are something different.

Remember the time you said I'm the person who can describe you best? Well, you also are the only person who knows me too well; the only one who knows what I really feel, someone who remembers every detail and for that, I thank you. Thank you for being so patient and protective, thank you for always understanding, thank you for always making me smile, thank you cos you care and lastly, thank you for never giving up and turning your back on me.

I cannot promise that I'll never be late again but I swear, I really try hard not to be. (Maaga ka lang kasi palagi.) I won't stop texting you long, dramatic and random messages at night either. (Ikaw na ang nagsabi, some sad things are beautiful). Cos I may call you by too many names but you will always remain that one person... My Best Friend. (Even our Nursery photo says so!)

Just always remember that I'm always here and I believe in you.

Your #1 Stalker and Avid Fan,
B

New Queens, Old Dresses

2011-12-10T01:49:00.010+08:00

It started with the search for Karen Agustin's infamous red dress...

Props to the members of Missosology Forum we found these....

Brace yourselves for this one!

And yes, even swimwears :)

I think these photos are self-explanatory reason why I didn't write anything else before of after them. Now, you've seen them, what are your thoughts? :)

Wow. I'm joining a contest!

2011-12-05T19:32:00.004+08:00

I've been on a "blogging hiatus" for a while, reason why blog give-aways are so new to me. Seriously, I've never joined any raffle contests since God knows when, I sincerely believed in my strong disbelief. I lost hope that I could ever win. But hey, this is a chance worth-taking, so I might just give it a try. :D

She is giving away free make-ups and I'm definitely crossing those out on my Christmas wishlist cos there are more important things to buy other than a new set of my own brand of pain/stress reliever. So, if Santa thinks I've been good enough, I think I might have a big chance on this. I will win that give-away! Hahaha.

You can join the contest, too! Click this link: http://tinyurl.com/7g9n7b7

Little China

2011-12-04T02:37:00.002+08:00

It's astonishing to see if I have feeds from myself, much more awesome if the feeds are from others. My views are mostly from Manila, Quezon City, Makati, sometimes Paranaque, and more often than not, Cebu. But a while ago, I received one from China. And yes, it was nonetheless from my brother, Miguel and it made me realize how much I miss his presence, especially... Now. Or everyday. :)

A once in a lifetime moment

2011-12-03T22:55:00.018+08:00

Last last week, ACJ and TMP taped their spiels for the upcoming documentary on ABS-CBN News Channel's history entitled ANC Chronicles. Ever curious as I am, I took the liberty of going to the location to witness it. It was breathtaking, as expected. I started to notice goosebumps on my arms as they deliver their lines. It was seriously a dream come true... all the more, when they tapped me to lend a hand...

(Look for me in these photos)

I was responsible for the moving logo on the background. Yes, I know, it was a huge contribution. Haha. Nonetheless, I still had these photos with them. :)

December Letters

2011-12-02T04:15:00.000+08:00

Just so you know, I fender bender-ed my blog's template and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I finally found the perfect one! So, on this day that I'm "soft" launching this site, I'm announcing the start of my December Letters. :)

I'll be posting letters to few peoples whom I won't name and let's see how this goes. :)

I'm not good in writing my emotions down. I need to be really sad, devastated perhaps to be able to write a single piece on why I'm crying, why I cried or why I'm about to cry. I can't even write why I'm happy, sometimes. I'll just type in long and repetitive lines of hahaha in all caps, excuse myself by saying I'm so happy and I can't contain myself so I'll just tell you next time, but those next times won't come next. But this, I have to put in black and white. Because I need you to know. Because I want you to know. Because you really ought to know. So, wait for it and see if you actually are one of the persons I want to send out a letter to. :)

Nothing to write.

2011-11-18T01:00:00.001+08:00

I've been stressing myself to write something for my blog for days. Be it something about work, my newly bought books, new found addictions, the illness I caught, pounds I've gained (or hopefully lost), new bed sheet, new curtains, new clothes, anything new! But yes, I got nothing too interesting to write about.

I actually thought composing something about how I finally gave up on BB Curve 8320 forcing me to buy a new one, this time an 8520. You see, I've been a BlackBerry user for so long now and even I already lost my first 8320, I never gave up on it having me to buy a new 8320 and when it died I again tried to find an 8320. It maybe is attachment but actually, it's more of a comfortability issue. I'm old school like that. Once I get comfortable, I promise you my loyalty. But the day that phone became the culprit why I traveled all the way from the North to South back and forth with me crying on the jeepney, train and bus consecutively while going back changed my mind into dedicating a chunk of my salary on a new phone. And now, I'm again comfortable. Hopes this phone is also loyal to me though. :)

Then, I remembered October. The Square Off matches, my new found friends, my birthday, the Tarlac tour I had with my High School friends, my bestfriend becoming a professional engineer, our first meeting after 6 months, the way I magically fell in love with that guy, the magical way God tricked me into something... Those things happened just in one month but that was last month and telling the world about it now would be like reminiscing, just that, not blogging at all.

So, now I learned my lessons. The real solution on how to update my blog every so often is to tell it as it happens, or maybe after it does. Cos, just when I thought I have nothing to write, I'd suddenly be reminded of all the things I shouldve written about and I didn't. :)

What I wanted to say...

2011-10-17T04:11:00.001+08:00

One Ted Mosby quote encapsulates what I really feel at the moment.

"You know what? I'm done being single, I'm not good at it. Look, obviously you can't tell a woman you just met that you love her, but it sucks that you can't." - Ted Mosby"

New story to finish :)

2011-09-16T01:52:00.002+08:00

While waiting up for work to come along (an e-mail I clearly have to write about), I was thinking of doing a little story. One that would keep me writing. So, good luck to me!

Because Biena never quits.

2011-09-16T00:54:00.005+08:00

I lost too many things today. Too make it worse, I lost my credibility and probably the ticket to my dreams. A certain portion of my heart is crushed, another bleeding. The crazy feeling is running through my veins, nerves and other parts of my body even. i'm feeling it inside and out. I'm feeling it through and through. I hate it. I'm hating it. But I know this shouldn't stop me from achieving my dreams, (or do I really even have one? Sometimes, I think I'm already content with what it is, what I have and what I am) while on my way home, I actually realized why God brought me where I am, not because I deserve it (because clearly, if that's the criterion, I can be replaced any minute now), or I prayed for it (because He knows, I know what my limitations are and I'm in the know what my credentials are as well, I never aspired for anything larger than a store manager or a teacher, I once visualized myself as a lawyer, yes, but not after I realized that my lisp could actually take me aback), and need it even (because He knows I would happily and readily accept anything He gives me). He brought me here for some reasons and one is to grow. I may never grow in an environment where people look up to me, thinks I'm one of the best and most capable. Perhaps that's why in any game, you always need to level up, because you may never be the best nor better even if you'll stay somewhere you already mastered. You must wonder around and explore your options well, and that's what I believe what God wants me to do - to explore, learn more and be better.

So, on this day, 16th of September 2011, I hereby declare my adherence to what God has planned me to do. I'll be better, I'll learn more, I'll explore and definitely grow. No more what ifs. No more giving up. I'm ready. I'm taking this challenge.

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Why Barbie and Ken broke up AKA even dolls are breaking up! That's why I don't have a lovelife!

2011-09-07T02:09:00.003+08:00

Just reposting a 7 year-old news from Businessweek cos it still fascinates me. :)

Behind the Barbie-Ken Breakup
Did America's favorite doll dump her beau for a surfer dude? Is her longtime steady gay? BW Online's Barbie historian sorts it all out

Barbie has been cast in many roles over the years: ice skater, astronaut, movie star, doctor, Presidential candidate (see BW Online, 5/04/00, "President 2000 Barbie: The White House or Bust"). But disloyal, man-eating, round-heeled hussy? Never.

Until maybe now. On Feb. 12, Mattel (MAT ) announced that Barbie -- the world's most famous doll -- and Ken, her companion of 43 years, were splitting up. Oh, many euphemisms were used: "They had grown apart." "Needed some time alone." "Were going their separate ways." "They would remain friends." The ironic timing of the announcement –- just 48 hours before Valentine's Day –- can't be lost on diehard romantics the world over who considered Mattel's iconic twosome as immortal as Antony and Cleopatra, Troilus and Cressida, Scarlett and Rhett.

Immediately, the rumors started, and they were tantalizing: That a single Barbie, soon to be unleashed in her latest incarnation, Cali Barbie, would go over better. That Barbie had really left Ken for Blaine -- a boogie-board, boy-toy Aussie -- that Ken, at long last, was coming out of Barbie's dream closet.

As an unabashed Barbie fan of many years standing, let me address these issues one by one:

Being single better suits the Cali Girl doll. Nonsense. Having a significant other has never inhibited Barbie before. In fact, having a constant steady seemed to suit Barbie just fine. No one ever made snide comments about her being single or an old maid, but she was still free to pursue her various careers. In particular, Malibu Barbie, an earlier incarnation of a beach-loving babe, had no problem being attached to Malibu Ken. Truly, they were a golden couple.

Barbie has left Ken for Blaine. A little harder to dismiss. Who might not be tempted to look elsewhere for a little change after 43 years? And Blaine, by all accounts, is handsome, fun-loving, and looks a little looser than Ken –- like maybe he actually bends at the knees. There is something a little surprising about Barbie taking up with, well, someone who's not her all-American equal. But the strapping surfer from Oz is just exotic enough to be appealing, while not too much so as to be disconcerting.

Ken is gay. And Barbie oblivious? It's possible that more was behind those closet doors in Barbie's Dream House than her ever-expanding wardrobe. It wouldn't be the first time a beautiful woman has fallen for a gay man (witness Elizabeth Taylor's love for Montgomery Clift). Certainly, the highly groomed –- one might even say plastic-looking -- Ken had a metrosexual quality to him. And that was more than 40 years before the term had even been coined.

Society being what it was in 1961, coming out would have spelled career disaster for Ken. Plus, making Ken gay now imbues everyone with a certain hipness –- him, Barbie, Mattel –- and opens up all sorts of possibilities for new dolls and accessories. After all, it would hardly be fair to deny Ken companionship after all these years of being a couple.

There is, of course, another theory: That all this is just a marketing ploy –- a publicist's dream –- to boost interest in the Cali Girl and Blaine dolls. After all, Demi Moore –- a woman of just about the same age as Barbie –- has taken up with a boy toy, Ashton Kutcher, and it has done wonders to keep her front and center in the gossip columns. The on-again, off-again romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had them in the headlines for months.

Still, such PR tricks can backfire. True, Demi has gotten tons of publicity with her new romance, but it hasn't done much for her career. And one could argue whether Bennifer has benefited from their pairing -- on-screen or off. One word here: Gigli.

Can we hope for a happier ending for Barbie and Ken? That she'll see Blaine as just a harmless fling? That Ken will realize his obsession with his appearance and clothes just makes him the Fab Five's perfect straight man? The truth is, it doesn't really matter. Barbie will be just fine, regardless of whether she ends up with Ken, Blaine, someone else –- or no one at all.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. Ken was always extraneous –- for both Barbie and the girls whose imaginations she helped fire over the past half century (see BW Online, 4/30/02,"To Ruth Handler, a 21-Barbie Salute"). Sure, Mattel sold plenty of Bridal Barbies and elaborate wedding gowns -– and Ken was always the presumed groom. But blushing bride was just one of the many roles Barbie played. Mattel wisely gave her girlfriends to pal around with, careers to pursue, and fabulous clothes and accessories that made everything – and everyone -- else irrelevant.

Ken, to a large extent, was just another accessory. Just like her pink convertible or her beach house. Fun to have, but not absolutely necessary. Beside, here's the dirty little secret about Ken. He was never all that hot, and Barbie knew it. But that GI Joe –- now, he was a doll.

The so-called "Blogger"

2011-09-07T02:00:00.003+08:00

I've been using this blog for almost five years now and one thing is for sure - I can't call myself a blogger yet. Though, yes, my host is... blogger.com. I'm not due-fully and cannot legally be called a blogger.

Let me tell you why.

1. I don't update this site very often.

I've always had the excuse of, "I'm very busy, I'll be blogging soon." And for effin' Pete's sake! I called myself a blogger? Whatta phony. Hahaha.

2. Almost all my post are - "Welcome me back, I'm blogging again.";

3. if not, "I promise you, I'm anew, I'll be updating this everytime I can."

4. Last week, I checked this blog to reminisce and all I see are the promises above.

So, now, I won't be promising, but let me tell you this, I'll strive to be rightfully called a blogger from this time on. :D

I said I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then.. PoP goes my heart!

2011-04-28T19:46:00.000+08:00

Before I went to sleep (which normally means just few hours before the sun sets), I planned to watch something, something that would really entertain me, give me enough enlightenment because I’ve been in the dark lately. No, really… I’m having a terrible inspirational drought again and listening to the The Runaways’ Cherry Bomb cant help anymore; singing it on the top of my lungs didn’t help even. I seriously had troubles counting how many Ch- was there before Cherie Currie finally said Cherry Bomb or how should I spell it. Uhm, Ch-? Chh- Ch..e? Gaah. So there, I knew only a good love story would cure me. Something so wonderful it would inspire me to live life as a zealous, understanding and resilient (C’mon, just stating facts here.) person again. I checked my rack and picked out something that was in my bag, I know, I’m that kind of scatterbrain. I actually chose a Koreanovela and I was preparing myself up for again, an all-nighter, but it turned out that it wasn’t subbed or my player can’t play the subtitles it has or I really don’t know (*shrugs* It was subbed when I bought it! The words magically disappeared, perhaps. HAHAHA!) To my dismay, I just ate all the chips in the little pack of Lays I bought just half an hour before I played the clip and decided to sleep. But that’s not the end of the story, yes, because I never ever slept before the hour Cinderella left her shoe with the prince, my body clock knows how to wait until after twelve midnight before my eyes will possibly close and my mind will think of nothing but how to have a nice, deep slumber. I wasted time thinking of clothes to wear tomorrow and I realized I’m already lacking of nice clothes dubbed as I’m-getting-fat-oh, no-you-aren’t-you-are-getting-fatter-and-fatter-each-day-so-don’t-waste-your-gym-membership, but I won’t go to the gym today, anyways. It can wait… and I know I’m lazy. Putting on, I mean forcing on my clothes unto my body was very tiring but that didn’t stop me. I was still alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic. Gee, so, this is inspirational drought for me, I was like I’m on the drugs. I stared on my bed for several minutes while I’m still catching my breath due to “too little” clothes I sported when I saw my copy of Music and Lyrics and I thought (sound effects plus light bulb beside my head please) a movie I’ve already memorized would probably bore me and lead me to sleep. BUT NO, IT DIDN’T. It just made me eat more Nagarayas and drink more and more Iced Tea. The movie still thrills me! I swear, I know this movie by heart, memorized each beautiful lines Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant delivered, sang at least one of the soundtracks each day but each time I watch it, I’m discovering something new. Just like how I missed Sophie’s (Barrymore) sense of fashion and how I like to imitate it. Alex (Grant) doesn’t have a car, I never thought of that! Or seen the part in the credits where they say that PoP band members had hip replacements and after their reunion concert in 2006, Colin also undergone one. Funny how something you fancy still surprise you every time. So, maybe that’s true love, or how relationships last. You can swear to anyone even God that you already know everything about this certain person you love but still, they astonish you each time you are with them, leaving you dumbfounded, yet more hooked and definitely happier that there’s more to this person you adore than the things you know about him and you’re very eager to know a lot more the next time you’ll be together… or, I’m just hallucinating because I unarguably love Music and Lyrics.

Those Memorable yet Terrible Tuesdays

2010-09-29T00:28:00.000+08:00

Tonight is Media in Focus's last episode and seriously, I wanted to cry. The team won't be with Ma'am Cheche anymore. Indeed, Tuesdays will never be the same. I may call in Terrible Tuesday for some months but what the hey? Those Terrible Tuesdays are the most MEMORABLE Tuesdays of my entire stay in ANC.

Closing the show made me reminisce the first task I was asked to do on my first day as an ANC intern - I previewed Media in Focus tapes. Haha. Again, let me reiterate that my Tuesday won't be the same again.

I'll always be grateful to Ate Cha for handing me this program and for the nth time, I'll miss this every Tuesday. :)

I live alone and sometimes, it is sad. :(

2010-09-28T03:15:00.000+08:00

I woke up with an annoying dysmenorrhea today. Haven't had one for months. I guess, I have been too lazy lately. Well, my place could tell. Clothes and shoes everywhere! (At least, I don't have ants anymore! Hahahaha. - Proud?) I tried to rest the whole day, butttt SORRY. You must go to work, girl. So, I was forced to stand up (though, I really can't at first). I suddenly missed my Mom, my room back in Cabanatuan and how my family take care of me whenever I'm sick or not feeling well. Ugh. It really is hard to live alone in times of sickness. I was hopeless. I don't even have food cos I can't get up to buy or cook for myself even. I really wanted to cry, cry, cry. But then again, this is the price of the freedom and independence I most of the time enjoy - lonely moments.

100 Days with Mr. Arrogant

2010-09-09T19:30:00.003+08:00

I stayed at our office till the wee hours in the morning yesterday because I know, no one would open the gates for me at home. I tried to sleep for several times but I just can't so I resulted into watching a movie online and I bumped into this flick, 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant.

I'm very excited at first because I really like the female protagonist from her previous movies and series. The movie is kinda cute, too. But I personally wouldn't watch it again. It has that "kilig" moments at times but it lacks something, something that would make me watch it again and again.

Never be in NEED.

2010-09-02T23:22:00.005+08:00

Earlier this week, I met a stranger. No, no. I'm far from being Julia Roberts in Closer. He is not Clive Owen neither Jude Law type of stranger either. He just taught me one thing I will surely remember -- to never allow myself to be in need. For when you're in need, he said, people have the power over you, to hurt you, desert you and more importantly, decline to your request and that I think is a very good life lesson.

That Rocker Dude.

2010-08-27T01:29:00.004+08:00

I can still remember my very first blog post -- it's about a guy. That one guy whom I caught looking at me in the first day of school and kept on smiling at me the days after. Everyone who knows me well can tell that he’s my type - chinky-eyed, rugged and musically-inclined. It was a nice feeling, seeing him flash that sweet smile at me every time I glance his way. He was so cute. I just can’t help but to always want to see him. Things went according to my plans or dreams in this case, well, my professors were a big help — they put us together in a team, giving me an excuse to message him nonstop about.. er, school. We became very close, so close I fell for him without noticing I did. Then, I learned he already has a girl. Dang. One big heartache. He was a jerk and I believed him. Things aren’t really going according to my plans. I didn’t dream too hard. We’re still friends, though. After months of hurting each other in two of our classmates’ expense whom we had rebound relationships with. We still became friends. Not best of friends but at least, civil enough for the both of us to send random text messages once in a while and crack jokes or poke fun at each other every time we meet. One short love story. Hundreds of lesson learned. Thousands of memories.

The Car Show. FTW! :)

2010-08-25T01:53:00.012+08:00

I don't know if anyone knows my blog still do exist. But here am I, back to where I truly belong... My ONLINE world. :)

I truly missed blogging and writing, of course and yet AGAIN, I'm promising myself (and this one I'll keep) that I'll update this blog everytime I'm free.

So, for my first post as a "balik-blogger". Here is some photos (and stories) from our coverage of the CAMPI 3rd Philippine International Motor Show. :D

My tour guide. After eight long months, Frederick and I met again. I know he would go here! He wants to see the Camaro for Pete's SAKE! Hahaha. :)
It was fun having him around. Atleast, I have an encyclopedia of cars by my side. For it is a carshow and all I know about vehicles is that they have four wheels, an engine, a bumper and two side mirrors. And because he's there, I felt that I know more.. because he does. Haha! :)
We haven't had quality-bestfriend-let's-go-out-somewhere-and-bond time for a long time and thanks to this carshow, we did! :D

I'm lost. Just when Sir Tony was about to finish his intro spiel... This little boy showed up, wandering and wondering around. :D

Sloppy First. It took us several takes for Sir Tony's Intro Spiel but nevertheless, Kuya Patrick still managed to strike his signature pose. :)

THE GREEN TECH PAVILION INTERVIEW

I did the interview because no one else did and we are about to end our coverage as the show for the day is about to cease as well. I was able to talk to three eloquent and spontaneous guys who were reluctant, I mean.. very reluctant to go on cam at first. :)

Ayaw talaga ni Kuya mag-painterview.

Tapos napilit ko. Haha.

Hangga't sa di ko na siya napigil magsalita!

Tapos tsaka ko na lang napansin na mali yng side na kinatatayuan ko.

At eto namaaaaan ang aking super brown-slash-reddish hair ADVENTURES!

No one knows how frustrated I become when I can't think of any brilliant idea.
No one knows how stupid I see myself when I can't write.
No one knows how I wish I can put all my ideas to words, sentences, and paragraphs - coherently.
No one knows how I hate the f*cking blinking cursor that's making me feel the stupid-est person on God's green earth because I can't write!

No one knows.

MANNy and the MONEY

2010-02-02T02:41:00.001+08:00

He once said that a person will need to have at least P1 billion on his campaign chest in order to keep himself adrift in the tight 2010 presidential race and he is none other than Nacionalista Party standard bearer, Manny Villar. He seems true to his belief as we see his abundant advertisements on TV, Radio, Print and so much as online. His TV ads even took over fast-food chain ads last year. He gave away the headline-creating six house and lots on a noontime show and now sponsoring an orange-filled game show on the rival program giving away P25,000 almost everyday. The Senator all the more surprised everyone as he got the support from the Three Kings: Dolphy, Efren "Bata" Reyes and Willie Revillame, making him a king himself -- The King of Self Promotions. Seeing how Manny spends his money he then claimed to be the fruit of his Sipag at Tiyaga or is it C-5 at Taga, how can he ever get it back? Will he ever get it back? Where? Well, does a presidential seat really takes a billion out a candidate's pocket? Does one even really need to be a spendthrift billionaire to rule this country?

Just a thought. Is Manny Villar really imitating Erap's Para sa Mahirap strategy or is he the fulfillment of Eddie Gil's promise? Some are wondering, is he just a Pilantropo or a new breed of Pilantrapo?

What was the worst concert you went to?

Hm. I don't know. Maybe the Itchyworms concert at school. Not that I hate Itchyworms. I actually like them. It's just that I don't feel like going to a concert that day. I just laid on the grass carpeted field the whole night.

Ask me anything

I know right, it takes an ADDICT to be featured on a site. Haha.

I haven't opened my Plurk account for ages and I was flabbergasted to see that I already have:
21 alerts
320 friends (I know I have more back then)
141 fans (I really have more back then! Haha.)
and 0.00 karma ( I was even over Nirvana back then.)

Yeaah, but that was BACK then.
Back when I was still addicted to Plurk-ing. Haha. :)
Back when I feel so bad whenever my karma went down.
Back when I'm literally in Nirvana as it goes up.
Back when I don't get enough sleep.
Back when I needed ATTENTION.
Back when I wanted everyone to know everything I do.
Back when I feel I need to do it.
Back when my life is the Internet.
Back when my best friends are my online buddies.
Back when all I care about is my Yay/Boos in Candy Mag's Teentalk.
Back when I felt I don't belong.

I'm just glad I got it over with now or I'll be the shallow girl still living in the cyber space.

Anywho, here are my BEST Plurks. Haha. :]

NOV 14, 08: my 5 year old brother announces na wala siyang pasok. HAHAHA! Tamad

NOV 23, 08: hates it when he doesn't even send a single message. (talking about Russel here. :D)

FISH BOWL QUOTE by Pandayan Bookstore. Haha :)

2010-01-31T21:24:00.000+08:00

TODAY: I'll work for something I believe in. :)

17 years.

2010-01-31T03:36:00.001+08:00

I was asked to fill up a blue form for my application for graduation. So, I traveled back to Nueva Ecija last Friday to be able to pass it before the deadline on Monday. :)
An item on the form really made me smile. It was asking how many years have I been studying in CIC. It has been 17 years. Seventeen long years and by April 8, 2010, my relationship with CIC will change from a student to an alumni.

I thought at first that it would be hard, as in breaking-up-with-your-first-boyfriend hard to say goodbye to the life I had in CIC and here in Nueva Ecija but I never thought it would be harder. My upcoming graduation is pressuring me -- I need to find a job soon. My dreams are right beside me but it is out of reach because I can't compose a single article when I use to write plenty. My team and the school paper still don't have a new EIC to replace me. These things are frustrating me at the moment. I'm just thankful that because despite of everything else, I know Daddy is here, helping and guiding me. I can feel him. He's always around.

Let me just share with you my final Editor's Note. :)

Hard to Say Goodbye

Few months ago, I just turned 20 and I hated it. I felt so old because I wanted to be a teen forever. In the fantasy world, it would be very possible, I can live with Peter Pan in Neverland, take a sip from the fountain of youth, or like every girl wants nowadays -- ask Edward Cullens to bite me. Unfortunately, I don't live in books, films and myths, I live somewhere else and no one, I mean, no one in my world can escape ageing even if we use tons of beauty creams. We will definitely wither and pass away. Perhaps, that's why we, human beings must all live our lives to the fullest ecause there are no sequels, no rewinds and forver young is a lie.

Twenty Years. Two decades. Two and zero. After some realizations, I can now truly accept the reality that I'm not a teen anymore, that I will have a bigger and better life ahead of me and that in months, I'll be leaving my second home for 17 years, CIC.

Graduating is one of the reasons why I wouldn't want to be 20. Not that I want to flunk and repeat all my subjects, I'm just anxious how life would be after CIC. I lived almost all my life in my comfort zone. Just imagine how will a person who never did experience anything but one can manage to go to a different place. Just imagine a person who grew up and come of age in one home leaving for another.Just imagine. Just imagine how hard would it be.

They say, you shouldn't let go of the things you can never live without but what if you have no choice? What if letting go would mean your dream? Would you rather stay to live or leave for your dream?

This is yet that one article I did the hardest, with teary-eyed and heavy breathing. It is because I hate goodbyes, I fear goodbyes, I never want to say goodbye but I'm about to and it's very very hard.

So, before the part should I bid farewell, let me apologize to everyone I offended and express my gratitude to all the people who showed me love and support. I won't name names for I'll have to use the whole paper just to enumerate.

My dear schoolmates, no one knows how much of a sacrifice I did for this job as your Editor-in-Chief for three years, even if a job means getting paid in return for a service rendered, and I received not even a cent. I couldn't care less. This job rewarded me something much more than money, things you can never buy -- happiness and contentment. I enjoyed every minute of serving everyone of you and I hope that even a single article from any of the issues under my watch has touched your lives.

In life, we can only move forward but we can always look back and reminisce. After all, we are all created by our past. I may age unlike Peter Pan but I can think of happy thoughts like him, I won't be able to fly but I know I'll definitely feel the bliss enough for me to wander across the sky, even in my dreams. So, maybe, tomorrow, the day after even the months and years to come, I'll always look back to all the memories I have of CIC and The Immaculate.

Let me leave you with these lines from a song, "In this journey made with you, hand-in-hand, we face a bright new day, to bring faith and hope and love to everyone. Let the Spirit Live! We are CICians, a gift to humanity."

EIC no more,

Biena

You'll always be missed, DADDY. :)

2010-01-31T02:36:00.000+08:00

I tried to scribble a lot of things about Daddy, I started three articles, actually. But I haven't ended any. Perhaps, because in the middle of every piece, I'm starting to lose my heart as the writer inside me sets in. I'm more of a human being than a writer. I know, my heart is far more bigger than my brain that's why in everything I do, I give not just my best efforts, but all my heart because I believe that in order to have a job well done, you must not just satisfy others but satisfy yourself, as well. I'll never be satisfied with something I didn't put my heart into. My words will remain as words, my sentences may be complete but it will surely not convey a message. My composition will be meaningless. Perhaps, that's why I became an Editor-in-Chief, albeit I don't consider myself the best writer, even a good one, to that extent, I have the heart for writing what I know and giving my best without asking for any compensation.

I can never complete an article for Daddy, that, I'm very sure of just now. Not because I can never give my heart to any write up I do for him, it's just that... it isn't enough. Even words aren't enough to explain the pain. Even our eyes can't hide it.

Amidst everything, speaking to him in my mind is better than writing things about him. I know he's just here. I can feel him. Maybe in time, I'll be able to write something for him, after the pain has gone astray should my heart and skills alone will suffice.

I'll be missing you, Daddy more than I miss you now.

more than meets the eye

I got a chance to meet Gordon and Bayani eye-to-eye when they guested in Mo Twister's show, IMO. I even asked someone to take a photo of me with the both of them. It was once in a lifetime, Ate Aiza said, and I agreed. I never thought I'll meet them again and even talk to them personally. I honestly consider these two tough guys as my 2010 bets. They can probably be our country's Transformers. But I don't know, I still am not sure. Can they really transform our nation for the better? I really am not sure. Perhaps, the campaign period isn't enough for us to know who the candidates really are. Even long term friends still don't know each other perfectly. Somehow, there'll still be something that's more than meets the eye.

lss!

I was currently enrolled on a Marketing Communications Class when Manny Villar's "PETIKS" ad rolled on almost every show there is on Philippine TV. It was undoubtedly a HIT. I honestly downloaded the full version of the song, registered on the Akala Mo website and even included the idea of having LSS with the jingle on my last Editor's note. Haha. Villar definitely had my vote just because of one song. Not just mine. But even other youth who suddenly have been hypnotized by a melody which original version didn't even reach the top of the hit charts.I was enthralled by the very idea. "So this is effective marketing communication,", I said to myself and it somehow helped me in acing the subject. :)

After long months, eto na naman ang bagong nakaka-LSS na kanta ni Manny Villar, with the line.. "Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?"

Hay nako. If not for the aftermath of Cory's death that Noynoy decided to ran as our nation's President, Villar's jingle will pave his way to the position he desires.

sino ang bestfriend mo doon?

2010-01-30T00:52:00.000+08:00

(images are from Google and I used Adobe Photoshop to put them together)

Nagtataka lang ako. Tunay pa kayang magkaibigan si Sen. Jinggoy Estrada at Sen. Bong Revilla? O sadyang magaling lang sila este si Sen. Bong na artista?

Hay nako. Talagang talagang there are no permanent friends in politics but only permanent personal interest. :)

WALA! wala! wala!

2010-01-30T00:27:00.000+08:00

Pinipilit kong isipin kung marunong nga ba talaga akong magmahal?
Tapos bigla kong naisip... Alam ko ba kung ano ba talaga ang definition ng pagmamahal?
Tapos napaisip na naman ako. Tapos, tapos na ang entry na'to. Hehehehe. :)

JOKE! Eh kasi naman walang pumapasok sa utak ko. Haha. Hanggang sa naisip ko na... WALA! Wala! Wala talaga akong lovelife. Hahaha.

nocturnal

2010-01-29T05:51:00.001+08:00

I have this habit of posting an entry on how much of a nocturnal creature I am as I literally am a being of the night. I'm a sleep whenever the sun rises and wide awake when the moon's smiling at everyone. I know, I know I have to break this routine but.. let me just TRY it for the last time. :) It's 5:54 AM and I'm about to sleep. HAHAHA!

GANUN NGA KASI YUN.

2010-01-29T04:26:00.001+08:00

I'm currently twenty years of age and I can honestly say that I'm not someone who is so knowledgeable of the "S" word. Yeaa. I know, let's say it.. sex. So, while watching the first week of Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, although awkward I've been asking everyone how Kris learned that Kim Chiu isn't William's daughter but Gabby's? None answered me. They just laughed and said.. "Ganun talaga yun."

GANUN TALAGA YUN?
* Kasi ganun yun?
* Kasi ganun nga?
* O Kasi yun ang gusto ng script writer?

I'm bewildered up to now but this news just confused me more!

Polish Woman Sues Egyptian Hotel Claiming 13-Year-Old Daughter Got Pregnant From Swimming Pool

A woman is suing an Egyptian hotel claiming her daughter got pregnant — from using the swimming pool.

Magdalena Kwiatkowska's 13-year-old returned to Poland from their holiday expecting a baby.

Magdalena believes the teenager conceived from stray sperm after taking a dip in the hotel's mixed pool. She is now seeking compensation from the hotel.

A travel industry source said: "The mother is adamant that her daughter didn't meet any boys while she was there.

"She is determined to go ahead with the case."

Gawd. Now I know why I shouldn't have studied in a Catholic School all my life!

2010-01-29T03:55:00.000+08:00

IF YOU WANT IT SO MUCH, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS MUCH!

2 0 0 9 :)

2010-01-05T01:21:00.002+08:00

Yeah, I know, what I'm about to do is a cheat but I really am not in the mood for writing anything. Perhaps because I'll be writing a loooot for the next few days. Yes, for the nth and last time... for The Immaculate. I'll be like travelling from Manila to Cabanatuan next weekend just to finish my last issue as our Campus journal's Editor-in-Chief. It doesn't send chills down my spine anymore, especially when you are surrounded by lurking enemies (that will sooner or later copy paste my blog again and submit a complaint on every office our school has.) I don't want to call you my, our enemy/ies but you're treating us like one so, I might do the same... or NOT! Because I don't have any grudges against you. Haha. Whatever! As they say, the best way to treat an enemy is not to mind them. Haha. :) Happy New Year. LOL

So, here's my real entry. Sorry, I just can't help but type in things, senseless or not whenever I'm alone infront of a computer. I just feel... FREE. :D

2009-12-24T03:00:00.000+08:00

I wrote something a week ago about a thing that pissed me off for a while and I really planned to post it here. I don't know, but I can't find my eight-page masterpiece anywhere. Haha. I have to find it soon. Haha.

Anyhow, I'm finally HOOOOME. :D

SCHIZOPHRENIC.

2009-11-21T00:31:00.003+08:00

So there was this item on the survey questionnaire of our thesis.

What kind of person are you?

a. introvert
b. extrovert
c. schizophrenic

I know it's weird or something but hell yeah, Emerick (my thesis partner) and I are weirdos. We admit we are but I never thought of putting the schizo-what-is-that category on the questionnaire. Just to let my friend-slash-thesis-partner-slash-classmate have his call on our thesis I let him put that category and amazingly, our thesis adviser approved it. LOL. I don't wanna say anything more about it. Just, no comment. It's already done and I already have a good grade. Haha. Whatevs.

So why the hell am I talking about this random stuff? Cz I totally believe that I'm an extrovert and I know everybody will agree on that. However, lately, I think, maybe, just now... I'm suddenly feeling like a schizo myself.

I have a dual personality which makes me confused and yet again, mystified.

I'm totally a different person when I'm with this person and another with this. So, blame it to the I'm-so-adaptable-I-can-befriend-everyone-cz-I'm-like-Ms. Congeniality principle. I became this. The schizo.

Just wanna have my contract as in NOW. Hahaha. I can be this random you know. Cz, I'm a schizo. Talking about being schizophrenic then my OJT contract. Hahaha.

Happy Birthday to me! :))

2009-10-12T02:08:00.001+08:00

I just want to let the whole world know that it is.. well, it was my birthday yesterday that's why I posted this entry. Nothing more, nothing less. Haha!

I just can't explain what I'm feeling at the mo. This birthday isn't what I've expected it to be. :(

UPDATE!

2009-10-01T00:12:00.000+08:00

So much happened in the past few days of my life that I really can't summarize everything in just one post. Maybe that's the purpose of blogging everyday, so just you won't miss anything or worse, anyone.

After several weeks, this is the only moment that I let myself put all my feelings into writing and as what I've told you earlier, many things happened, now I don't know what to feel.

BLISS?

Of course.

We just had our Team Building/Campus Journalism Seminar con Gimik-slash-Vacation last weekend and it was all fun ( and jealousy, I think? HAHAHA!)

The release of our latest issue was a SUCCESS. 'nuff said.
We finally made everyone realize the 'Power of the Press'

I have a boyfriend who loves me. I know he does. :))

My bestfriend has a girlfriend too and he's perfectly happy. :D

MELANCHOLY?

Perhaps.

I'll be twenteen in a week's time. OH NO! :(

My family still have 'problems'.

I lost a 'friend'. Someone who always makes me feel my worth... or NOT!

CONFUSION?

Uhh..

Russel.. Please explain. Hahaha!

EXCITEMENT?

Oh Definitely!

It feels like I'm reading a really good book or following a addictive series. Or let's just say, I'm reading Meg Cabot/ Rachel Cohn&David Levithan or watching Gossip Girl/Smallville. Hm. We can simply put it like this, we are playing chess and I can't wait for their next move.

PROBLEMATIC?

Oh gawd.

Our Documentary still needs a lot of editing. UGH! Talk about brain drain!

Our thesis... well, I dunno about our thesis. Haha.

__

Let's just stop here. My mind can't think of anything already. Haha! :))

O N E

2009-09-30T22:46:00.001+08:00

It has been over a month since I last posted something in my blog and it was to simply announce that I have no time for writing for a while. I'm too busy doing things I have to do. My mind is clouded with so much ideas, some of which will not be put into real life simply because I have no time. Ugh, sucks, right? Indeed, I ate more than I can chew which really frustrates me at the moment. Have you ever felt that you can do more than what you are doing now, that you can act and sing instead of just singing or acting alone but you just can't because you SIMPLY have to F O C U S? If yes, then we are alike. I always feel that I can do more things than what I am doing now but I just can't... I just can't and it REALLY frustrates me BIGTIME! Tss. I'm not proud to say this but I have to admit that I sometimes am greedy. Idk. I just feel that I can do things better than anyone else (Blair Waldorf Syndrome, anyone?) which reminds me of... " Once again, the world has proven, what you can do, I can do better." -- one of Blair Waldorf's line in Gossip Girl. Haha! Whatevs. I can really imagine myself saying those lines. Boohoo! However, my Marketing class thought me one thing -- to be able to be successful in your field, you must choose just one segment in your market and concentrate. Just one. Maybe that's the answer. One. Perhaps, noone can really have everything.

The Challenge. Haha!

2009-08-13T05:22:00.001+08:00

I so wasted so much of my time doing nothing in front of the monitor. Geez. I told myself that I'll be doing the things I HAVE TO. But unfortunately, I DID NOT. Well, I will cz I really have to but I wasted my time just lurking around SNS sites, thinking of things that don't matter and looking at his photo. Forgive me, guys but I miss him so! Haha. :))

So there, I still have lots of things to do and I'm formally challenging myself to finish it in half an hour or I'll deprive myself of a deep slumber today. Hahaha. :D

P.S.

To the people who visited my blog, thank you veryyy much. I promise to hit yours soon. Medyo sabaw at lutang lang talaga ang lola niyo ngayon. Hahaha!

Beating the LIFELINE!

2009-07-23T02:39:00.004+08:00

I was busy these past few days with lots of things cluttering up my mind. Haha! I can't really think of things to write on my blog so I just left it undated which kind of depressed me. I love to write but why can't I think of something to write? HAHAHA! Whatever.

Tomorrow, I mean later is gonna be our deadline, (we actually call it LIFELINE in our school paper cz, kidding aside, we want it to be alive.. not dead. HAHAHA!) and I'm done with my Editor's note, just that cz the other things won't be done until later cz the interviews are scheduled tomorrow, rather later. HAHAHA! I just can't help but feel ECSTATIC about this issue. This is something really new to us. We finally are stepping out of our boxes. Gyera na talaga ito. I can feel the tension even just now. I could only imagine what will happen after it is published. I definitely know you can't understand me, let me explain. So, there's an on-going secret-not-so-secret-slash-plastikan-war happening between our org, the school paper and our neighbor, the student council. We, perhaps have different points-of-view on things and now, we are finally tackling what we know on the paper, objectively. So, talk about an all out war, right? Haha! I don't know what to feel! I'm full of emotions. Haha! Plus the fact that in two days, it will be the 25th of the month. ♥

Gaaah. I don't know if you understood me. I drank lots of coffee. High na high ako ngayon.

Scheduled Sickness. T_T

2009-07-07T20:22:00.001+08:00

If there's one thing I am famous of when I'm in grade school, that is I have a Friday sickness. I always am out on Fridays and when I reached High School, I changed the day to Tuesdays. LOL. I have myriad of reasons but some of them are unacceptable. Either I over slept or I haven't slept yet but most of the time, TINATAMAD lang ako. Haha!

Well, IDK if this is Karma or what but I have a fever AGAIN it hadn't been a month even since I last had one. Gaah. I hope to be able to go to school tomorrow. I have loads of work to do. T.T

How about some little help?

2009-06-26T21:21:00.005+08:00

I'm helping a friend to win an online popularity contest but unfortunately, it has a strict rule of one vote per IP address. Well, to make it more credible, perhaps. So, I'm now asking for your help. :D
Please help him win. :))

Click the button above this and select the name BENSON HILL which, I believe is the last name on the list. :)

THANKS! ;]

Thanks, Mum! :)

2009-06-24T03:54:00.003+08:00

I'm currently undergoing some major 'friendship' problems as stated on one of my previous post. I actually don't care about it at all, though I'm still hearing bad feed backs from trusted informers and sources. I really can't understand myself. I'm not mad even. I don't really wanna fight anymore. I think it's just too lame. But a while ago, I was busy chatting with my Mom (we chat for hours everyday and now we talked until 2am, I think), I blurted out some things that lead to this problem of mine. My Mom is like my best friend, she knows almost everything about me. She is aware of what's happening and told me once that I should just stop thinking about it. But tonight was different, when she knew that THE GIRL was spreading rumors about me (e.g. that I was I tramp [Oh it sounds better in English but too bad she does say it in Tagalog, "ganunin DAW ako"], I'm a bad friend and so on.) she turned furious and told me that I should not take this for granted cz THE GIRL is already hitting me below the belt. She even wanted to talk to some of our schools Admins (our Dean and Student Services Head) who happen to be her friends. I told her that I can take care of this myself and I won't let this things ruin me. :D

I REALLY DON'T CARE about everything that's happening and I can't understand myself why. All I know is that I'm very grateful that despite everything, I'm not affected and I now know who my TRUE friends are.

I just wanna thank my Mom for all her support and for being the best-est best friend in the whole world. :)

APOLOGIES!

2009-06-23T03:40:00.006+08:00

Hello, friends! I'm very sorry for not attending to your concerns lately. :D
I'm busy arranging my new class schedule and my new room. Wee. :))

CLICK:DEAR HELP

Anyway, I will...

TOMORROW.

HAPPY 20th, Mom and Dad!

2009-06-20T03:12:00.003+08:00

This was a late post. :D Their Anniversary was last 17th and it went well. Our whole family and my brother's girlfriend ate dinner in my Mom's fave resto. Haha. It was nice. :))

That's what FRIENDS are for?!

2009-06-16T00:05:00.005+08:00

I honestly admit that I don't have enough time for my blog nowadays. I'm too busy spending my first last days in school. Pretty confusing? Well, I'll be graduating, oh yes, I'm sure I'll be marching on March to the tune of tan tanananan tanananan tanan tantanan tanan.. Whatever. Haha! :)

The past days have been ordinarily extraordinary and I still am sick. Gahh.I should be sleeping by this time but I really have to let these things out and I'm doing it in Filipino. :D

Hindi ako makapaniwalang may tao pa lang mananakit ng isang taong walang kasalanan at higit sa lahat ay malapit sa kanyang puso para makuha niya lang ang minimithi. Akala ko noon, sa pelikula, drama at kathang-isip lang ang ideyang iyon dahil kung tutuusin ay ibang usapan na kapag nahaluan ng pagmamahal ang iba't-ibang mga bagay. Ayokong maniwala pero nasa harap ko na ang katotohanan.

Nag-ugat ang lahat ng ito sa isang simpleng alitan naming magkaibigan. Mali naman talaga ang manggamit ng ibang tao upang makuha ang gusto natin di ba? At higit sa lahat ay mali ang manloko ng tao para sa sarili nating kapakanan. Mali ring palabasing masama ang ugali ng isa nating kaibigan upang maging maganda at kaawa awa tayo sa nakakarami at lalong mali na saktan natin ang isang tao kung ayaw niyang sumunod sa gusto natin. Physical torture ba 'kamo? Ang sugat na dulot nun ay nagagamot at naghihilom yun sa tagal ng panahon. Maaring mag-iwan ito ng peklat o bakas ngunit, darating ang panahon na hindi na kikirot at mawawala na din ang sakit. Pero, alam nating lahat na ang Emotional Torture ay isang bagay na hindi naghihilom katulad ng mga sugat at pasa sa ating katawan. Maaring mapatawad natin ang nagkasala ngunit maaaring hindi kailanman mawala ang sakit at kirot na dulot nito. Hindi ako nagmamarunong ngunit mali na ang mga bagay na nakikita ko sa paligid ko kaya't minarapat ko na ituwid ang mga ito. Ayoko ng idetalye pa kung ano at bakit nagkaganito ang mga bagay ngunit alam ko sa sarili ko na wala akong inapakang tao dahil ang tanging kasalanang ginawa ko lang ay ang magsabi ng katotohanan.

Naapektuhan ng husto ang kaibigan kong gumawa ng pagkakamaling ito. Akala ko sa mga susunod na araw ay magakkabati rin kami dahil mapagaalaman niya sa sarili niya kung ano ang mga maling bagay na ginawa niya at mag-uusap kami at tatawanan na lamang ang mga ito. Makailang linggo o araw din ay wala akong narinig o natanggap na mensahe mula sa kanya at sa isang kaibigan naming malapit sa kanya. Gusto ko sanang pumunta sa eskwelahan para makausap sila tulad ng dati dahil kasalukuyan silang kumukuha ng Summer Classes ngunit natigilan na din ako dahil naisip ko na baka hindi pa panahon upang kami ay magkita. Maaring may mga sugat pang naiwan na kailangan magsara muna at maghilom upang makatawa kaming muli ng magkasama.

Kanina ko na lang nalaman na binabawalan na pala niyang makipagkaibigan sa akin ang kaibigan namin malapit sa kanya ngunit hindi ito pumayag. Nalaman ko din na may nananakot sa kaibigan naming iyon ukol sa isang sikretong mas marami pa ang daliri ko sa nakakaalam at ang taong iyon ay hindi man tahasan ngunit ako ang tinuturong salarin sa pagbunyag ng katotohanang matagal na itinago ng kaibigan kong iyon sa madla. Hindi ito isang krimen ngunit importante lang talaga sa kaibigan ko na walang makaalam ng bagay na iyon kundi kami. Masakit man sa amin, ngunit lahat ng ebidensyang aming nakalap ay nagtuturong ang kaibigan kong nakaaway ang may gawa gawa ng pananakot sa isa ko pang kaibigan. Hindi ko siya hinuhusgahan o kung ano man, ayoko ring maniwalang siya nga ang totoong may sala ngunit lumalabas na ganun na nga.

Pinalagpas ko nang nag-group message niya sa lahat ng contacts niya, maliban sa akin na tinatawag akong SCAMP at DULLARD . Pagtawanan niyo na ako pero hindi ko alam ang ibig sabihin nito kundi ko pa hinanap.

SCAMP - a name to call someone who is a mixture of both a skank and a tramp.

DULLARD - a stupid or annoyingly ignorant person.

Aaminin kong masakit ngunit pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay tumawa na lang ako sa mga pahayag niyang ito. Baka dala lang ng sobrang pagkainis o galit ang nagawa niyang 'yan. Ngunit hindi ko mapapalagpas ang paggamit niya sa kahinaan ng kaibigan namin para masunod lang ang gusto niyang magalit ito sa akin. Mahirap magbintang ngunit sa lahat ng sinabi ng mga kaibigan namin ay lumalabas na ginawa niya lang lahat ng ito upang masira ako.

Nakasalubong ko siya sa Mall kanina. Ngumiti ako. Alam kong may kinikimkim talaga siyang galit sa akin. Karaniwan tuwing nagkikita kami ay malayo palang humihiyaw na siya payakap sa akin. Iba kanina. Ngumiti lang siya na parang sumisibi pa nga. Nagulat ako na walang galit sa puso ko ang nabuo sa mga pangyayari kundi awa at panghihinayang. Naaawa ako sa kanya dahil alam kong, ngayon, kaming nakakasama niya sa araw araw at nagmamahal sa kanya ay may hinanakit na sa kanya. Mahirap ng buuin ang tiwalang nasira, sabi nga nila. Parang basong nabasag... idikit mo man ay may lamat pa din. Nanghihinayang ako sa tatlong taong tawanan, hagikgikan at walang katupusang kwentuhan na pinagsaluhan namin at ayokong masira ito dahil sa mga bagay na kasing babaw ng pagtatalo sa lalaki. Hindi ko kailanman inentensyong agawin o kunin kung sino man ang lalaking gusto niya dahil hindi ko ugaling maglandi sa kung sino sino. Nagkataon lang na ako ang minahal ng lalaking gusto niya ngunit alam ng Diyos na kahit may mga panahong nahuhulog na ang loob ko sa lalaking iyon ay pinigilan ko dahil higit ang pagmamahal ko sa kaibigan ko kaysa sa isang lalaking kailan ko lang naman nakilala.

Matagal ko ng alam na may mga tao talagang di makatanggap ng sarili nilang pagkakamali dahil madalas kung minsan ay isa ako sa mga iyon. Hindi ko maamin sa sarili ko na mas magaling o mas tama ang ideolohiya ng iba kaysa sa mga iniisip at pinaniniwalaan ko. Subalit, darating at darating din naman ang panahon at mapagtatanto ko na minsan... nagkakamali din ako. Gasgas man, pero totoo. HINDI AKO PERPEKTO. Kaya umaasa ako na darating din ang panahon at mapapagtanto din ng kaibigan ko ang mga pagkakamali niyang nagawa sa amin. :) Inaamin ko na hindi lang siya ang dapat sisihin sa mga naganap. Maaring may kasalanan din ako, o ang iba sa amin. Pero hindi na kaso yun sa ngayon. Ang sa akin na lang ngayon ay matanggap niya kung ano mang pagkakamali ang nagawa niya at makapagbulaybulay upang mabago ang mga gawi niyang ito upang hindi na maulit pa muli.

Hindi ako nagmamalinis, nagpapakaplastic o nagpapaawa. Gusto ko lang ibahagi sa lahat ang munting istoryang nagaganap sa buhay ko ngayon. At sana ay maging makabuluhan ang pagbabasa mo nito. :]

Here I am, composing songs AGAIN. LOL.

I
I hate to see you smiling
cz it feels like dying.
I hate to see your face
it reminds me of our days.
And oh i hate to see you laughing,
while I'm here.. All alone and crying.

CHORUS
Oh oh why did you have to leave me?
Oh no.. Without even saying bye and sorry.
Oh oh why you left me broken
oh no, without notice or a farewell even?

II
Did you really love me?
Then why you wanted to be free?
Did you feel the spark
when we held hands in the park?
And oh did you feel the magic?
When your lips touched mine or was it all a trick?

REPEAT CHORUS

REFRAIN
And now we're done..
And you are gone..
Tell me, what you should I do
so I can forget you..

CHORUS

RAVISHING BOY

2009-06-08T21:41:00.004+08:00

Every night, I see you in my dreams,

In it, you always are my prince.
A happily ever after, so it seems
Forever with this ravishing boy in jeans.

But I waited long enough for you
And I'm now surrendering.
You'll never say you love me too,
My fairy tale's now ending.

And tonight, as I lay on my bed,
I fear to dream of you.
For after all the tears I shed,
I know, I will again love you.

2009-06-02T20:37:00.002+08:00

It's been a while since I last posted an entry. I dunno. I just don't have anything important to say. My days have been so unproductive. :[ Except for the fact that I go to the gym everyday, except on Sundays. I met a lot of people, new friends, and new acquaintances. It was a new experience for me. I've never been in a crowd of serious and silent people sweating like a pig just to satisfy themselves. LOL. I was kidding. :) It was really one fun episode of my personal series. (:

However, I was thinking of not going back tomorrow cz I've done something really embarrassing a while ago. T____T I accidentally broke one glass window. It wasn't really my fault, I SWEAR. They say, it was okay, but still, I feel so guilty about what happened. So, maybe, I'll just replace the shattered glass as soon as possible. :D

LONG or SHORT hair?

2009-05-07T01:31:00.006+08:00

It's 1:30 in the morning and I still have to go to the dance studio at 7 tomo but I can't help but laugh at these pictures I took days ago. :D

So this is how long my hair really is.

It reaches my bra line, even longer.

NOW, take a look at this photos!

NO, NO, NO! I didn't cut my hair. Hahaha. I didn't put on any wig, either. I just pull my long hair back and tie it in a pony tail. The pictures are deceiving, right? HAHAHA! :D

I found a new way to commit SUICIDE! :D

2009-05-06T11:00:00.002+08:00

Yeah right, my title's way MAD. Haha. But whatever, I really found a new way of killing one's self and that is to have a killer work out. Phew. I never thought it will be THIS painful. I started going on an Aerobics class then to a gym nearby afterwards. Gaaaawd. It's really hurting at first. But as a poster on the gym says: ENDURANCE ISN'T BUILD IN A DAY. :D

Je peux le faire! I can do this! :))

Thank You, TEENTALKERS! :D

2009-05-04T02:20:00.003+08:00

Now, this one's a SHOCKER. I really never thought of this to happen. I won as this year's Teentalk Awards Best Advice Giver. :)) Oh my! I really can't contain myself. It's like a dream come true. When I opened an Advice Thread in the Love Life Board last year, I never even thought I'll be able to give out the best advices there is, I just really wanted to help out.

Honestly, I only learned it this morning. I wasn't in the mood for sleeping cz I was patiently waiting for someone's text message when I thought of visiting Teentalk and searching for my name. And there it is, I'm one of the winners. Hahaha! I never knew that I was even nominated cz I was already inactive those times. Hehehe. :]

I was thinking a while ago that if this happened last year, I would knew it right away, but yeah, I'm now an INACTIVE Teentalker because of so many things. I also stopped buying Candy Magazines for like months now, (yes, I don't have a charm bracelet T___T) cz I'm saving up my money for school-related activities.

Well, this award made me realize that I really helped some of my online buddies and I DEFINITELY have to go back to my beloved forum. :D

I promise, I will. Just give me a little time. :))

Any, CONGRATULATIONS to my fellow winners!

Bye, CIC Main. :(

2009-05-04T00:47:00.003+08:00

Yeah. I know this post is uber late already but forgive me people, I'm just busy or should I say, my brother just won't let me use our PC. Hahaha! :D

Oh well, of truth be told, I've been searching for this article for a month already, good thing I saw a back-up copy in the hard drive of our PC. Hm, so there, here are my own sentiments about our school closing its main campus. :))

CHAOTIC: The relocation of CIC's basic education programs

"What will happen to CIC Main?" - a question every parent, alumni and student even raised in PTA meetings, social gatherings and even in simple chats. It seems that everyone already knew about the 'big' relocation. Who wouldn't? Large streamers are mounted infront of CIC Main and New Site and in other places as well announcing the said remotion. Most Novo Ecijanos refused to believe it for many reasonable facts and what-will-they-do-to-the-building kinds of questions and the likes. While some others declined to accept the plan for emotional reasons, because, if truth be told, CIC, especially, CIC Main witnessed some of the unforgettable memories of most residents of Nueva Ecija, above all Cabanatueños who apparently, somehow studied in this school. Nonetheless, after months of speculations, CIC Main was formally closed last March 24.

A lot of people may ask of what's the real purpose of the school to close its main campus and build a new one. Perhaps because of the fact that the administration have been complaining about the schools budget over and over again. They even use that argument to rebutt students' grievances about the school services and facilities, specifically, the cyber nook. Wouldn't the construction of a new building cost a lot? To think that they are assembling a new building for more or less 2000 students. Didn't you know that the construction of the CIC Chapel took years to start and years to finish? Yes, that very chapel which is just like half as big as the new building, even smaller. Why? That's because the money the school used to build the Chapel came from the P200-PTA ticket collected every year from every pupil. If they have enough money to build a new building right away, why wait for years for the Chapel to be constructed? The school may planned to build the Chapel out of donations which is entirely understandable but why do students still need to be at disadvantage if the school has that big money?

So, why do CIC need a new building? It's like buying a new thing when the old one is still effective and working. Isn't the construction of a new building a clear example of money wastage? In a previous interview with Fr. Richmond Nilo, College President, he stated that one of his future plans for CIC is to be a one-campus school. WHAT FOR? There are a lot of school who have many campuses, but still, they managed to be one of the best schools of our country. De La Salle University is one example. DLSU only offers Graduate and Undergraduate courses while their preparatory or basic education programs are offered in their other campus which is La Salle Green Hills. Therefore, CIC on the other hand, cannot use the we-need-this-to-achieve-university-status excuse not just because of DLSU not having one joint campus yet still carry on quality education but none of the Phillipine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities' standard measurement requires a school to have all programs in one campus to be able to become a university.

More over, Fr. Nilo believes that CIC will still be patronized by Novo Ecijanos for he supposes that people will follow CIC where ever it goes for the quality education it serves. It is a known fact that the school is highly patronized by generations of Novo Ecijanos, not just by the fact that it is the nearest or most accesible school but it beyond doubt promotes quality Catholic education. However, some parents are currently thinking of enrolling their kids to other school because of the relocation. "Hindi naman malayo ang Sumacab, pero mahirap pa rin dahil sa Lakewood ang entrance," says one mom of a pre-schooler. Right. Would you expect a four year old kid to travel all the way to Lakewood just for a one and a half class? CIC may address this problem with the school bus they are proposing to parents but still, some other kids still need to be supervised especially during lunch or break time.

Now, CIC may be facing another challenge as some students and parents prefer another school than the 'new building'. How can the school get the money used in building back? Will they again devise PTA tickets? And what will really happen to CIC Main? ##

My last picture in one of my most memorable places in this school.

WHATTA SHAME. lol

I haven't blog for a month. Hell yeah. But I forgive myself. Haha. There are lots of things that happened last March that I had no time for blogging. :(
But I'll surely share those things to everyone. Just let me compile everthing so I can present it nicely. :))

I def missed blogging. :D

I was seriously tired after painting (together with Elma, Ate Lee and Emerick na nanlibre lang ng Iced Tea. Haha) our Radio Booth last Friday. My thighs and legs had bruises and I have paint drips all over. But nonetheless, it was worth it. :D

Kahit ilang beses kami pumalpak. Hahaha.

I'm typing a draft for my next post when I suddenly cried. Ugh. I so hate it when I cry for 'THOSE' reasons. Things I should not cry for. And there, I haven't finished my entry. I think I'll redo it soon. Maybe it really isn't the right time for me to share those senseless-yet-it-make-cry things.

DEVIANT ART. :D

I'll always miss you, HEARTY. :D

2009-02-14T00:46:00.003+08:00

She's gone. Hell yeah. SHE'S GONE. Hearty's gone. T_T

Oh damnit I'mma miss her sooooo much.

*screeeeeeeeeech*

Wait! I'm not talking of a person here. Hearty is my beloved Moto Razr. T.T
I lost her while I was on my way to school. I think I accidentally dropped it in the trike. Boo.

Gawd. I'll REALLY miss her.

I still have a phone, though and I haven't lost my sim card but Hearty is really, really, really special to me. I've done all the fun stuffs with that phone. She will always be remembered.

TO HEARTY'S NEW OWNER:

Fuck you! Give me back my phone! Damnit!
Please take care of her., mkaay? (:

What will I miss about CIC?

2009-02-13T03:39:00.004+08:00

This isn't finish yet. I just posted it for my friend, SAM. :D

15.79 years, 5760 days, 138240 hours, 8294400 minutes and 497664000 seconds. Phew. NFW! [Digits really drives me nuts. Perhaps that's why I so lurve MATH. ] Would you believe that I've been studying in the same school that long?! Ugh. It sucks, I know. To be in the same old school every year, wear the same kind of uniform, follow the same lame rules. Perhaps that's why I'm old school. Blame that to my parents who belongs to this CIC-is-the-best-school-in-town-let's-patronize-it whatever. I even asked my Mum back then why she enrolled me in this school and she gave me tons of reason --pathetic reasons. Why not Little Merry Hearts? "Too Far." Flowerlane, perhaps? "Not that secured." Wesleyan? "WTF?!" Then, why CIC? "Walking distance." Hell yeah, our old house was so close to CIC Main. *Imagine CIC New Site to the waiting shed, oh not quite, it's even closer.* And the rest is history.

I've never even experienced to enter any other educational institution aside from, yuhh, where I am now. It's just so annoying. LOL. Bitterness, much? Affirmative! That's because I hate this school. Just Kidding! :]

I actually LOVE this school so much that when I finished Elementary, I even asked my parents to let me stay in this school though my grandfather wants me to enroll at NEUST (cz his cousin, my grandmom, is the current President back then). CIC is so dear to my heart that I'll surely cry on my graduation because of the fact that I'll already be leaving the HOME I stayed on for almost all my life. I can never imagine myself studying in other institution (except from UP, DLSU, Ateneo, Harvard, Yale, Brown... LMAO! Kidding.) So, what will I REALLY miss about CIC?

QANAH. A.K.A Burger Machine or Student's Lounge. The TOTAL tambayan. Not just because it is the only WI-FI hotspot in school but it's a place where you can sit and chat with your friends all day.

MAGNIFICAT CENTER. This was built when I was like a Sophomore in High School. The whole court was closed and we are all forced to use the Marian Garden as our place for events. This is the place where every activity happened.

THE IMMACULATE OFFICE. The publication office. I'll never forget this place.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHAPEL. After the P200 PTA raffle ticket every year, here it is.. The Chapel! I go to the church whenever I want to be alone and reflect. This place was a real haven for me. I have cried a lot of times here.

ISLA. A.K.A John Paul II Building or Taiwan. This small and remoted place means a lot to me. It made me feel I was studying in a University (imagine the looooong walks from Mainland China, dude. TOKI Jeeps, puh-lease!)

THE ACACIA. This tree was long gone but it will always be MISSED.

LONG PAD. I've always loved CIC's pad paper. It's very neat.

HALO-HALO. I can never live each day without this! This sweet delight is incomparable. :D

MIB. Men In Barong or the guards. I always had this certain friction with our school guards. Just beware cz they bite. Hahaha.

SPEECH LAB. Oh boy, We were the first ones who used this lab. Hahaha. I'll always remeber that!

MASSCOM ROOM. The smallest yet the most talked about classroom in campus. Don't ask me why, it's just that I go to that room everyday. LMAO!

RADIO BOOTH. This little room fulfilled my dreams of saying the words "The time is one minute after the hour of two and your still listening to blah blah blah" ON AIR.

MINI HOTEL. We used to have sleep overs here making it a real MINI HOTEL. Hahaha.

PATHWALK. We were soooo relieved when the pathwalk was made. Ugh. Imagine the long walk without a cover? Haha.

THE BUNNIES. Only few persons know this but Fr. Richmond owns almost 30 rabbits as pets and they are taken care of in a small place at the back of the Father's residence. Do check it out. They're adorable!

CSSC OFFICE. I admit. I used to go here everyday (back when I was still a member of the Freshmen Council). I'll miss this office because I will always remember that my sketch pad was stolen there. Hahaha

THE GARDEN. AKA St. Francis of Assissi Garden or Circle of Life. I always hung out in this place when I was in High School. It cozy and sacred. You can really reflect about your life in this place

CR. I remember, when I was in Third Year HIgh School, I got locked up in the boy's comfort room with my classmate-turned-crush-and-now-only-a-friend. Don't ask, it's a long story. Haha. Everything can happen in this place. When I say everything, it's EVERYTHING. Talk about smoking sessions, cat fights, and more.

HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH. There's no other sandwich in town that tastes like this. With a sliced ham, cheese pimiento and little bit of mayo, this sandwich is HEAVEN!

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM. The given name for the fields-slash-shortcut to Isla.

There are a lot of things I will miss about this school, not to mention my teachers who became a big part of my life. But maybe that's all for now.

I KiLL YOU.

2009-02-12T00:19:00.003+08:00

Hahaha. I just can't help but miss watching Achmed the dead terrorist because of my title. HAHAHA!

Alrighty, I really wanna kill someone. Yeah. Someone. I want to slash Emerick's neck off for taking this photo. LMAO!

It's like I'm peeing or something. Ugh. So annoying yet soooo FUNNY. Hahaha! (^-^)

My January

2009-02-11T02:46:00.007+08:00

Gawd. I miss my blog. I haven't posted here for a while. You know why? The biggest REASON is that I still haven't any copy of some of my pictures in Tagaytay which I wanna post here. Hell yeah. I really wanna show it to the world. LOL. :]

*lazy.lazy.lazy.i.can't.think.of.anything.syndrome.again.*

So let me just wrap up this post with a full view of what BASICALLY happened to me the whole January. [minus the photos cz I just got our PC reformatted and thanks to that I had to say goodbye to my beloved pictures. Ugh.]

1 NEW YEAR. Nothing happened. Haha. Oh yeah. I just stayed on my room all night-slash-midnight. Nothing extraordinary except for my grandparents (mother side) being here with us to celebrate.

5 START OF CLASSES. For some. Haha. But not for us MC students. Don't ask me why. You'll just be flabbergasted.

9 RELEASE OF 'The Immaculate' CALENDAR. Oh I oh-so-waited for this to arrive. I spent my whole Christmas break infront of the monitor just to pull this one out. Good God. Everybody liked and even LOVED it. Sold Out!

12 REPORT ON ILIAD. With an AVP, of course. HAHAHA! I worked hard to impress my teacher. LMAO. But she thought I was CHALLENGING her. Fcuk.

15 TAGAYTAY HERE I COME! Don't laugh. But I've never been there. EVER! So, I was really damn excited to attend that OSSEI thinggy. (:

16 DOOM'S DAY. We haven't even had a chance to join any contest. Pfft. For Pete's SAKE. We don't even know what they're talking about. I mean, we're not idi*ts, yeah know. But we are not just well-equipped, I guess. Plus the fact that this is (well, my groupmates) first time in a Press Conference. Ugh. I just know that it isn't our fault and it REALLY doesn't mean we're not capable of winning.

17 BYE, Tagaytay. My whole stay was quite worth it. Except for the drinking session (my groupmates along with our driver's) I didn't really have fun cz I'd rather mingle with other contestants than to watch them enjoy the spirit of alcohol. Call me old school but I don't really wanna mix those 'kinds' of fun with what I think is WORK. Perhaps, that's mainly the reason why I am their Editor-in-Chief, I'm old school. I even ate a 750ml Ice Cream all by myself [the temperature's like 11-15 degrees, I suppose] just to excuse myself from drinking. Haha. They were astonished.

18 MARK'S BIRTHDAY. My GREAT MORTAL ENEMY'S NATAL DAY. Oh why can't we just ripped this date off the calendar?! Hahaha! We really are friends, though. We just LOVE to annoy each other.

22 GEROME, KUYA RJ and KUYA BJ'S BIRTHDAY. 'Nuff said.

24 AHYEN'S 19th. Gee. I so miss this girl. She was my partner in crime. (:

25 FORTRESS and JEWEL'S NATAL DAY. I sooo miss IV-Kalinisan, without them I wouldn't be who I am now.

29 THE ~~COMEDY~~ DEBATE. Our School Org, which I lead decided to organize a Collegian Debate for the Club Day with the topic which is about the House Bill 5169 but it turned out to be a comedy show. HAHAHA!

There you go. My January. ♥

I love you LUCKY. :)

I've been blog hopping these past few days and I stumble upon Luis Manzano's blog. He is such a BABE! Gawd, I would love to be his girl. Angel Locsin is really LUCKY. :) Luis is totally hopeless romantic. I love him already. Haha!

COPY CAT! Ugh.

2009-01-22T20:02:00.005+08:00

Lucky me. I don't have class today so I had the chance to stroll around the city thw whole aftie. :) I even got a free meal in Shakey's (courtesy of my Tita, of course. LOL!) While walking around, I saw a familiar shirt design.. "Young Communicators on Social Awareness" with a bookworm, etc. I know why it is familiar. It's the very design, my friend, Pollie and I made for or club, English Club four years ago. IDK what's gotten into me but I had an urge to go to the girl and ask what school is she from and guess what?! She answered me with an effin' "ANO BA?!" Gawd. As if she's pretty. Duh! LOL. It's freaking hawt and I just can't stand the scene so just to end everything, I turned away from her and walk. I really wanted to say that their school is a copy cat to her fugly face but I don't want to go down to her level. :))

I MiSS YOU. smooch

2009-01-19T23:27:00.004+08:00

I so missed blogging but I can't find time to sum up what happened to me the whole time I was in Tagaytay so maybe I will share it to you by tomorrow or the day after. Right now, all I wanna do is to ask for your help. Please pray for my friend. She had an accident and will be having her operation tomo. :)

Random Thoughts

2009-01-14T03:20:00.006+08:00

I planned to watch Clueless tonight or should I say this morning? Ugh. But instead, I'd clicked unto My Sassy Girl. Oh yeah, I've seen this flick already and that's what makes me wonder why I'm still pouring out liquids out of my eyes at the mo. Pfft. I'm crying for two consecutive nights. HAHAHA! :)

Another thought, I'll be competing, as well as other members of our ED Board, on OSSEI [I think it's a National Journalism Contest.. blah blah blah.] on Thursday to Saturday. IDK if I'll still have time to blog but I'll keep you guys posted. :)

I'm actually in no mood for blogging today. I'm just so pissed off. Ugh. I don't wanna share those petty rants with all of you so I decided to post this photo I edited last night [I just put it together.]

This is my little brother, Joseph [five years old] last Christmas. HAHA! We used the face painting kit, my cousin, Jovia [six years old] gave him. Hahaha. :)

Sleeping Beauty :]

2009-01-10T02:04:00.013+08:00

My day had been so tiringgg. Perhaps the same reason why I submitted myself to my bed [oh no, I think I slept on my parents' bed first then I transferred to... my brother's bed. HAHAHA!] from the moment we arrived home. Gawd. I was damn tired. I just realized that when I woke up, everyone else in our house was already sleeping. It's almost one in the morning! Hahaha. IDK but I suddenly felt guilty. I have many chores to do yet I chose to escape them by SLEEPiNG! (not intentionally, of course.) I'll definitely make up tomo. :)

Am I a good girl or what? Hahaha! XD

P.S.

That picture was taken months ago. Hahaha. Take note of my bed cover.. SNOW WHiTE. Hahahaha.

SWEET. ♥

2009-01-09T00:12:00.008+08:00

I actually am so tired and LAZY (though, I always am) at the mo. I'm currently working on an AVP for our World Literature Class tomorrow and it is soooo TEDIOUS. Haha. :) So, I decided to take a peek on my Friendster account and then I stumble upon this bulletin post. I just can't believe that I actually read all of it even if I'm oh-so sluggish at this point. It's totally SWEET. :)

Read on...

We don't care if you're friends with other guys.
But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.
It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.
We don't care if a guy calls OR TEXTS you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.
Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait
till the morning.
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/
cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.
Don't tell us we're wrong.
We'll stop trying to convince you.
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.
Yeah, you can quote me.
Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood im in.
Let us pay for you!
Don’t "feel bad"
We enjoy doing it.
It's expected.
Smile and say "thank you."
Kiss us when no one's watching.
If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed.
You don't have to get dressed up for us.
If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to
wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.
We like you for who you are and not what you are.
honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my
shirt and boxers, not all dolled up
Don't take everything we say seriously.
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.
Don't get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible.
"Don't talk about how hott Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us".
It's boring, and we don't care. You have friends for that.
Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful"?
I’d be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me
with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of.
on the other hand I’m not saying I wouldn't like it ether
Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change. ditch his sorry ASS, he's a disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....and say "i love you" ..and actually mean it.
Give the nice guys a chance
Guys repost this if you agree
Girls repost this if you think it's cute
Every Guy who isn't a jerk will agree with this, so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this
*Holding Hands
Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of
times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.
*Cuddling
Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to her.
*Movies
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.
*Loving each other
Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her
too... And mean it.
*Laying below the stars
Girls : When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.
By 12 am tonight your one true love will realize how much they want you.
Girls repost as: written by a guy :]
Guys post as: Girls need to realize

My DARLiNG Siblings. :)
