vodka

'anung problema mo? bakit ang payat payat mu?'.... that was the question that cracked me off during the first time i landed my feet on my friend Gel's place, that came from her Mum who was too engaged on her DVD marathon of Koreanovelas... hahaha parang may trauma sakin ang question na yun, kase naman si Mudang pinaginteresan kaagad ang manipis kong katawan sa gitna ng pagtutok kay DaoMingXu o kung sino man sya na pinapanood nya during that time heheheh...

last night i had the priviledge to came back to their house, this time kalmado si Mudang at hindi na nagtanong tungkol sa problema ko sa kalusugan ahhaha... i really had fun with Gel last night!....naenjoy ko ang B-Bque na tinitinda ng isang kahanga-hangang deaf and mute na mama, supeeerrr delicioso, no exaggeration..pero i learned an important lesson too...hindi nako iinum ng ANTONOV Vodka!!!

swear!! ikamamatay ko na ang next na pag-inum ko nyan. we ended the night at Starbucks in Northgate sipping our fave blends. thanks again Gel, looking forward to more weekends like this! =)

crown

october 2010 was the last time i had my haircut, in told myself at that time 'this will be my last haircut till my birthday next year (march this yr)'.... so its been 3 months now and only a few more sleeps till my birthday when i decided to cut it again. Haayy hindi ko na naman nagawa!

i want to experience sana, again to have a long hair kase the last time, as far as i could remember, was in college pa... but then the people around me keep telling me 'get a haircut!'... Grrrr... you know how difficult it is for you to do something when you do not have enough support from the people youre close with??? kaasar diba?!

well, wala na akong nagawa!.. i had a long argument with myself last night before going to bed 'shall i do it?' or 'shall i dont?' hehehe... eventually nakatulugan ko nalang ang pagiisip about it. earlier this morning, i told myself 'ok ill go to the barbershop and get it done'

and here it is:

                      
                         its my first time to do 'mohawk' and im lovin' it!!

badtrip

what do i normally do when im in a bad mood?

there are days when you dont feel like dressing up,going out, interacting with people, answering your phone and text msgs or simply you are too lazy to do anything at all, right?

well here are the things that ive tried and tested to make my 'badtrip' day go away:

- first, eat a good breakfast. i usually eat a lot during the morning, then less towards the end of the day, coz basically we need more energy at the start of our day than by the end of it. Lafang galore pag morning!, nakakawala ng bad mood yan, kase pag ang tao gutom mas magiinit ang ulo, my favorite is peanut butter with jelly sandwich then mango juice or fried rice with danggit na may suka, pagkatapos sabayan mo ng yosi after. Perfect!

- look for a comfortable outfit and shoes. common sense, hindi na nga maganda ang araw mo, hindi pa kumportable suot mo e di mas lalong badtrip yun!.. i go for my knits na manipis lang ang tela kase comfortable or a really light shirt to go with my cardigan and shorts.. and my favorite shoes, my battered Gola slip-ons

- drink coffee. they say na coffee daw eh mas nakakainit ng ulo, i guess not for me, kase pagbadtrip ka, mababa ang energy mo so to boost it, coffee is the answer, try a Caramel Frap from Gloria Jeans (my fave) or Green tea Latte from Starbucks.

- look at your old photographs (i.e baby pics, HS Prom pics etc), nakakatawa yun. it is always nice to reminisce, especially pag nakikita mo na mukha ka palang tanga nung Punks ka pa nung HS or when you see pictures of your friends you havent seen in a long time. who knows?, baka sipagin ka pang hanapin sila sa Twitter or FB and catch up with them.

- read a book or a magazine. when im sad i always read the novel of H.F Saint entitled 'Memoirs of an Invisible Man'... may mga nakakatuwang moments kase ang book na yun kaya i always keep it handy...or i read the back issues of Reader's Digest especially ang 'All in a Day's Work', nakakatawa ang mga jokes and stories dun.

- eat 'dirty ice cream'... why? kase nakakatuwang isipin na kakain ka ulit ng isa sa mga pagkaing kinakain mo nung bata ka pa. think of your childhood friends na uhugin while licking your ice cream, masaya yun!

- and lastly, try to smile.try to make another person's day brighter by complimenting them, a simple 'Ganda ng shoes mo' or 'Love your bag' can make a big difference, at pag napasaya mo ang ibang tao, mas doble ang balik ng saya sayo...

                                                     SMILE =)

again

a few days back, i blogged about the recent tragedies here in the country... then before we know it, there's another one.

yesterday at around 11:30 am, a breaking news on tv strucked me, ten construction workers fell to their deaths in an accident at the construction site of a residential condominium (Eton Tower) in Makati. whew!

the first month of this year feels like its the whole year already.. kotang kota na ang Pilipinas sa dami ng nangyayari. i overheard from two guys behind me while riding a shuttle yesterday going home 'what is happening? makati used to be so quiet, but now, daming nangyayari?'...

oo nga...

please include in your prayers the family of the 10 people who died yesterday, as well as the repose of their souls, lets also not forget the 5 victims of the bomb incident a few days back and the only person who survived yesterday's accident, he's still in the hospital, and lastly let's all pray for the safety of each and everyone of us Filipinos.

younger

while watching the late night news, they suggested some websites that you could visit on your spare time than your usual Facebook and Twitter accounts...

out of that list, i enjoyed the third one most, its actually a blogsite wherein people can submit their own photos during their chilhood as well as their present ones and the website will make a comparison of it, its really cute, it suddenly brought me back the memories of time when life was easier ^_^ (sigh!) hehe...

especially when i saw this picture...

really cute huh!?

so i cheked on our old photo albums in the house and found some of my own pictures and here it is... hahhaa parang mas ok yung dati =) LOL

if you have time, visit these sites too... sooo fun!

iam

iam a happy person...

yes iam!...but not all the time.






i was having coffee alone yesterday in Nuvali.,while enjoying my cup and checking my tweets, a friend texted reminding me of his birthday which incidentally a day before mine. i told him 'malayo pa kaya heelllooow'. he said 'i know pero parang yoko nga icelebrate kase tatanda na naman ako ng walang pinagkatandaan'...

that brought me to realization that maybe i was like him too. i was thinking to myself 'was i able to accomplish anything for the past 33 years of existence?'...
i got my notebook after that, i listed things that i havent got yet.... medyo marami pa nga! heheehe... but, are those things that i do not have in my posession yet would put a smile on my face?

i heard a lot of people asking one another 'masaya ka ba?'... if i were to ask, my answer would be 'yes, but not all the time'...come to think of it, maraming bagay ang dapat kong ikasaya, but am i really happy when im all by myself?...'pwede', naaalala ko tuloy ang isang local movie ni Vilma Santos (i forgot the title), sabi nya sa isang scene don na hindi daw maganda ang laging masaya, dapat daw may balanse ang buhay, kapag daw malungkot ka, isipin mu nalang na 'minsan sa buhay ko sumaya din naman ako noh'

i may not have all the things that money could buy, para sakin kase Oo nga't marami akong ganito o ganyan pero meron ba akong mga kaibigang nagpapasaya sakin when im sad?...Check!...do i have a family that supports me in all of my endeavours?...check!... yun palang dapat ko ng ikaligaya.

siguro lahat ng kulang ko, to follow nalang, im sure its not gonna be that long till ill have it. no freakin' reason for me to frown....haaayyy hormones! pag tumatanda, nakakaaffect ng feelings sobra sobra, text lang yun, kung anu anu naisip ko hehheeeh..

i like my life. in fact i supah dupah love it!

goodbye Sadness!

pixelated

Thanks Gerrie for the pics... =) love it!

(he also made the collage of my pics for this blog)

whew!

what is happening on earth??..

recently, ive been so scared to tune the tv on any news channel whether on cable and locally, because i do not want to see unpleasant happenings all over the world, well first, there's flash flood in the Bicol Region, Palawan, St.Bernard,S.Leyte... even in other countries like in Brisbane,AU and in the U.S.

also, let's not forget the killings especially here in the Philippines, i guess we've all heard about the 2 car dealers who was murdered and burned their bodies along with their cars, and yesterday a bomb planted on a bus exploded along Buendia Ave in Makati, 5 people were killed and 13 injured.

i dont know why!, but during my childhood days i cannot remember anything like this on the news...What happened?!... i dont know, maybe you too do not have an idea. my friend Mimi and I were talking a few weeks back about the end of the world, if that would really take place in 2012.. i told her, well maybe, nobody knows... nakakatakot na ang mundo, parang wala ng safe place, wala ka ng matatakbuhan when you need help coz even some policemen were involved in these brutal crimes.

whew!... we really need to pray. let's take good care of our Mother Earth..Sana wag nya munang kunin lahat ng naeenjoy nating gawin sa mundong ibabaw... And i hope that the people who did this sa mga kaawa-awang victims e makunsensya, kung meron pa sya nun... and i hope nothing bad would happened to him and his family =(

why?

had a great dinner with a long lost friend earlier, didnt see her for almost 6yrs....well you know, priorities! things that we need to put our best efforts first before other things... that's why it took us 6yrs just to share a simple dinner.

my friend is now happily married to a very handsome Greek guy with two beautiful kids, i used to jokingly tell her "o meron ka ng sarili mong greek god" (when they were still bf-gf's)..

earlier during dinner i asked her "so kamusta ang greek god mu?" she replied with a big smile "haaayy super bait, parang masyado akong blessed with him"...and i can tell that by the way her eyes twinkled everytime she has to mention his name, she's still inlove with the same guy after all these years.

she told me "hindi kame nagaaway, puro petty tampuhan lang, pero minsan nabobored akong kasama sya, parang nakakasawa na"... i told her "well maybe lahat naman ng mag-asawa dumadaan sa ganyan, normal lang siguro"... then she said after a long pause "eh kaw musta ang lovelife?", and all i could answer was a smile.

"so wala parin after ni P?"... i "said wala na, yoko na"

that question made me wrote this post.. with a question in mind "bakit nga ba wala pa ulit" well here are some of the reasons that i could think of:


- maybe because nadala na ako, the last time i fell in love lead me into believing that a gay relationship is forever.. MALI!

- i always compare guys that ive met to my ex-boyfriend...dapat ganito sya, dapat ganito ugali nya and so on and so forth, maybe because iam afraid to see my ex one day and then may maiipipintas sya sa kasama ko... pero walang perfect guy diba??!

- im too hopeless romantic... lahat nalang kase ng mabasa kong books at mapanood kong movie sa dvd e feeling ko mangyayari din saken.. Gising! hindi ako si Bella!

- im too scared to let my cards down... maybe that's why, hindi ako masyadong totoo sa sarili ko...kaya pati sa nakakarelasyon ko, hindi ako totoo.

- or baka naman kase ayoko na talaga, mas gusto ko nalang siguro sumuko kesa magTry.. i think that's the easiest kase!


well, whatever the reason maybe, the thing is, as of now im really happy. i can do whatever i want, i can shop all i want, i can go drinking till the wee-hours of the morning..i have my family and friends around, what more could i ask for?!

i realized, hindi din naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon na ang taong inlove ay laging happy, at hindi din naman sa lahat ng sandali na ang taong nagiisa at walang karelasyon kagaya ko e laging malungkot.

'Weather weather lang yan' as people say... ill have my right time. but right now ill enjoy my life to the fullest =)

its really true...

he's coming over...




a few days back my friend Crescy Alcantara and i were talking over FB Chat coz we're not sure about this news, but now we have the proof!!

i wont definitely miss this...

C'mon! its the F***** Bruno Mars everyone!!

yyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

crush

i have been lusting to see Bruno Mars performing even on a local tv show here in Manila, but recently, while watching the evening news, i heard that a group of producers including Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino will be bringing him here... Whew!!!

I need to watch my spending for me to see that concert...


Here's a video of him singing 'California Girls' by Katy Perry

yey!!!

(late post)


my bestfriend Aj Rubio gave me this utilitarian booties from Zara as his post-christmas gift---

Thank you sooo much Aj, another addition to my collection.

beginning

things that i do not want to happen in my 2011:





- i want to find a new love again, but i dont want to fall head over heels to that person anymore... i have learned my lessons well.

- i dont want to lose any of my friends anymore just like what happened in 2010, but rather keep my close-ties to the ones i have left now... i want my friendship with them to last a lifetime.

- i dont want to do stupid mistakes again, but i really want to pick up things that these experiences brought me... life is a matter of trial and error.

- i dont want to spend my money for things that i dont necessarilly need, ill be a wise-shopper this year rather than an impulsive one.

- i do not want to eat junk food anymore, i promise to keep myself healthy by choosing the right meal.

- i do not want to a bitch, ill stay calm at situations that i think i cant handle... i know that im better than that.

- i dont want to stay uplate on weekdays so that i wont be late for work.

- i dont want to procrastinate. ill do my very best to finish everything that i need to for the day.

- i do not want to misplace my wallet again, ill promise to look after my things, afterall its my responsibility. i dont want to be 'burara' anymore.

- i dont want to deal with too much stress.

- i do not want to just say YES at times when i have to say NO, there's really nothing wrong with that.

LASTLY,

- i do not want to live with regrets, from now on ill do what i want, ill say what i want and get what it is that i want.. just make sure that i wont be stepping on anybody's shoes along the way..

I will be happy =-)

words

beautiful words coming from my best-est friend SHAE:

"once i promised i'll be by your side always i meant it for real. We are different in many ways but we're also the same in a lot of things...we laugh and we cry for the same reasons. Matigas ang ulo mo pero i did not remain your friend so that i can change you, i'm here to listen and help you decide which path to take. I love you myk!"

Thank you sooo much... you know ill do the same, love you!!!
