two solid great nights in a row - saturday edition

whew! just got back from saburday gimik..imagine, it's already 9am!!

i was actually home the whole day of saturday. i wanted to finish my sewing project but i couldn't because it was soo hot! ang hirap gumalaw at super sakit pa ulo ko. mukhang summer na summer na talaga. so wala talaga akong nagawa kahapon :(

since it was soo hot, i was really eager to leave the house already and go to a mall. but i was too lazy to move (this is what the heat does to me) that it took me forever to prepare to go out. so i ended up going out at around 7pm already, when it wasn't that hot anymore (defeats the purpose eh?).

i went to shangri-la because butch and timmy planned on going there to watch kitchie for the jap fest. but for some weird reason, biglang hindi na sila tumuloy. boo. good thing diane and her gang planned on going to shangri-la too coz they wanted to watch barbie naman. and this was when the fun began..

diane came with diana and her other friends (rex, kuting, suy and carlo). there was an event at shang streetscape coz of the jap fest and several acts played: barbie almalbis, kitchie nadal, core of soul (?) -- a jap band -- and hale (i just realized that hale was the main act when it should've been core! grabe lang). after hale played, all the performers got together and sang "all you need is love". super funny coz it seems they performed it without practice! they weren't sure when to come in. in fact at some part, champ of hale wasn't able to sing his section of the song. funny cute!

after that, we went to pier one at fort (minus kuting and plus diane suyat and dic -- tama ba spelling ng names nila, haha). by this time it was already around 130am. we stayed there until 430am i think. we did the usual beer-kain-beer-kain again..as in lamon talaga! karen and chris met up with us (at sumama sa paglamon!) and as well as jayson.

as if everything we ate wasn't enough, someone asked if anyone wanted to have dessert and someone suggested having bibingka at jt's (near elorde at ortigas). shempre, being the takaw and bibingka fan that i am, i quickly said yes to the invite! at masarap siya ha! bitin nga lang kasi ang liit!! well, at least i wouldn't be forced to eat a lot coz had it been a big serving, i'd probably force myself to finish it!

by the time the lamonfest ended, it was already 530am! we got into carlo's magic school bus and on our way to suy's house in caloocan, they suddenly had this great idea of staying over at carlo's, having shisha (?) and going to mass in the morning. grabe, walang tulugan!!! well, i didn't mind naman. as long as i'm safe and i'd be able to get home the next day (or hours after in this case), oks lang.

haha..sobra pang laf trip pa. we needed coal for the shisha..where do you get coal at 6am?!?! we tried a nearby convenient store, shempre they didn't have any. then carlo asked the local baranggay head and he couldn't tell us where there was coal -- i guess he was still groogy..brains hardly function that early..or maybe he didn't know why the heck these kids are looking for coal at that time of the day! haha! so we ended up getting coal scraps from the ihaw-ihaw stands we found along the street..mga pulubi!! haha. nakakahiya!! coal thieves! hahahah..i should have taken diana's pic as she was getting the coal..laf trip talaga!!

tapos ang pinakanakakatawa pa diyan, pagkatapos ng lahat ng paghihirap makakuha ng uling, hindi pa rin kami nakapag-shisha! hahahaha. siguro sobrang ngarag lang kami dahil wala pang tulog kaya di siya napagana (may mga kulang kasi na "parts"). actually, ako lang ata yung ngarag..lahat sila gising na gising pa..pero di pa rin nila napagana, haha. nag-videoke lang ako, papikit-pikit..hihiga..tapos pag may marinig na okay na song, kakanta bigla!

at around 830am, we got up, ready to go to mass at ctk biglang diana had to be home na pala. she was thinking of going to mass with her family instead so we all headed home..este..carlo brought us home pala -- thanks carlo whom i just met that day! hahaha.

so that pretty much ended our exciting weekend gimik (sat-sun kasi eh, haha). feeling ko kung walang nagyayang umuwi and people didn't have to go home (i had family get-together kasi in which i was ngarag btw), di pa rin kami uuwi. haha..exciting adventure! at ang dami kong nakakasama talaga through diane..bonding moments! hahaha.

anyway, abangan ang friday endition! :)

going for the dream

last saturday, i watched close to you at glorietta 1 with daddy tuts and mommy mowee. there was a part where it talked about choosing between the habit (john lloyd) or going for the dream (sam milby) and i just realized that i want to go for the dream in all aspects -- love, life and labor -- even if it means getting disappointed and not meeting expecations. i really will. and i'm gona make it happen this year. i promise *cross fingers*

i actually felt bad last week coz i realized that i didn't really do much of the things i listed a year before that i told myself i'd do for 2005. i tried to justify why i wasn't able to do them but bottomline is i still wasn't able to do them. and it got me sad. sayang ang oras at ang bilis ng panahon. di ko talaga alam bat nagkaganun. sayang talaga.

but enough of that, no point in clinging on to what could have been. i'm sure most of the reasons are valid. i will just push myself and think of making the most out of my days for 2006 and see what will come out of it for me.

okay, medyo may amats ako ngayon. sana matino sinusulat ko. har har har. labo kasi kaupsap ng aking kaibigan. hahahaha. i think he's nursing a broken heart kaya ganun. oh well. my take on that is whatever happens, it will be all right :) sure, it will hurt at first but in time, the pain will fade away. halllooo, why get stumped just coz of another person? why let someone have that power over you? jennifer connelly won over david bowie in the labyrinth because of the realization that he had no power over her and i think that's how you win love battles like such -- realizing and recognizing that no one has any power over you. ang dami-daming lalaki/babae diyan..asus!

but then again, isn't it that having power over someone (and having that someone power over you) is the foundation of a relationship? allowing someone to have that hold on you means that you truly love the person? because you are willing to give whatever that person wants -- "as you wish" kumbaga (think cary elwes in princess bride). better if mutual of course.

i guess the former is just a defense mechanism for scorned lovers. shempre kailangan coz it's a way to move on!

oh gosh, how annoyingly confusing. that's why i'm single! ha ha ha.

on a side note, butching got me the autograph of the lead singer of juana with me in plain sight. argh. how embarrassing.

2006 Prediction for Pu Pu Platter Patching

here's something i got from the sunday mag of the philippine star last week. pretty interesting. and i just found out through the same article that i am actually a metal monkey, whatever that is! --

the monkey has the closest affinity to man and therefore inherits most of his intelligence. he is quick-witted, clever and innovative, and can solve intricate problems with ease. the monkey is innately warm, natural and spontaneous person. he exudes self-confidence and has an enviable joie de vivre.

--> oh, i know this already..yeehaw!

this is a year of change and opportunity in many aspects of your life. at work, there are good prospects for promotion or a career shift, but it is best to avoid acting in haste. be resourceful, cooperative and stay well informed of current events. when dealing with money matters, it is always good to be cautious this year. get professional advice before making new investments as it is not the year for financial risks.

--> "career shift"..this could probably be about that plan i have for the year! hahaha..but the "best to avoid acting in haste" part..i think it's a sign that i shouldn't resign first! hahaha. i really have been thinking of resigning because i've been getting bored at work..i want a fun job! something that will make me interact more with people, go out and travel more, see the sun and just bring out my creativity. but now, i was given new responsibilities and my goolai, i'm so busy! haha. no time for boredom anymore. i actually like the challenge of my new role but at the same time, i'm scared too. i hope i get to pull it off. there is no other way but up up up!

you will experience an active social life, but a word of caution: avoid being arrogant or trying to be the center of attention all the time. it is best to listen rather than talk this year. now is also a good time for new acquisitions at home. those who have partners will see their romance grow deeper this year, while unattached monkeys will find new love in a chance encounter.

--> find new love in a chance encounter?? chance encounter?? who could this be? for sure it's not someone i already know (yay!). hmmmmmm..well, i guess we have one whole year to find that out! sana si..ano..wekekekeke

btw, happy birthday!! i wish i could have greeted you personally. perhaps next year? *wink wink*

hermit mode on!

what is this i'm feeling? i just can't explain..

hahaha!

yes, i'm feeling something..

i am feeling wretched. i wana scream really loud and cry really hard. i haven't done that in a very long time and i feel there are just tears in my eyes that wana pour out. i actually take advantage of laughing really hard because it's an opportunity for me to be able to bring them out. mukhang nga lang akong tanga pag ganun na ako! psycho patchi na!

can i just disappear? there are times i really just want to disappear and be on hermit mode.

haha, this entry is sooo unlike the previous one which was filled with so much hope and promise. gosh, mood swings. i'm being a typical girl :-P
