@ardee for making my life easier carrying my laptop

@my social_eyes family for fulfilling my childhood obsession (naks!)



but most of all, for the friendship you shared with me. that alone made my natal day extra-special.

exhaustingly fun...

i never thought having barely 1 hour sleep for two days will be so enjoyable. evidently it had something to do with the company i was with that made our out-of-town weekend gimmick very delightful. from caltex gate5, to gstar complex @nlex, to “isdaan” restaurant and a-max gas station @gerona tarlac, to inn rocio – volante pizza parlor – back to inn rocio – public market – harry’s – back to inn rocio again – camp john hay commissary – house of waffles (camp john hay pa rin) – all @baguio city, then back to manila still with series of stops for cigarette and bathroom breaks. lutang na lutang ang utak ko… yet it was so much fun!! thanks edg.

matamis mabango...

it's been a while since i last made an entry in this blog, just as it's been a while since i last had dinner at G4 food choices. bago na pala seats nila. they look like half-open egg shells. when you're sitting on one of them, you'll also look like one of the old mascots of chiclets... hmmm this got me wondering, why did a gum brand used chicks as mascots?

deception point...

my family and i went on a picnic at pamulaklakin in subic. while listening to the sound of rushing water and experiencing a rare kind of natural foot spa (submerging my feet in the water and allowing tiny fishes to feed on calluses and dead skin cells), the ambience made me recollect the recent events/situation in my circle. indeed, it's like a roller coaster ride for all of us, but with different intensity for each of us. now i won't speak for everyone, but as for me, it gave me a mixed emotion of indignation and delight... spleen because of all the lies and deception of a certain person, which made me realize that i really don't know him at all. had this person been at least honest, things wouldn't be this irksome and disappointing. but i'm glad as well, because i got over this person in almost a snap.

i hope we'll all be able to fix everything soon. this will really put the circle's resilience to the test. i really pray we'll all surpass this.

balance

after everything, somehow i'm still fortunate to have a friend who slapped me severely to reality, and another to mend the excruciating pain of the slap. nothing more i can do, but to keep crossing the wire, and most likely move on to another... kahit paulit-ulit na lang ang nangyayari, eh ganun talaga eh... but if there's any consolation, at least i know i have a circle of friends underneath who are there to catch me everytime i fall... to the circle, thank you all for being happy with me and for me for the past month... to some, sorry for the disappointment... to one, thank you for the joy you gave me that i never felt before... what matters now, is i still have you with me in facing what ever may come my way...

love never broke anyone's heart...

this song by vince gill has been ringing in my head since yesterday, so i decided to post some excerpts here..

A long time ago someone told me
It's not love that causes the pain
Whenever a heart has been shattered
It's the losing of love that's to blame

I know your feelings are tender
And you're so afraid they won't heal
I'll prove to you love doesn't hurt you
And I'll show you how true love should feel

Love never broke anyone's heart
It never left anyone scarred
It's not really love if it tears you apart
Love never broke anyone's heart

taympers...

i remember the day i had my first anti-hepatitis b shot. i had it together with two of my sisters. if memory serves me right, i wasn't even in my teens yet. so i was nervous at first because i really hate needle pricks. although i was a bit terrified, i marched to the clinic with full confidence, because i was sure i'll be able to handle without a fuss whatever prickle i may get. i was even teasing my sister for being overly nervous. i even volunteered to be the first to receive the shot. indeed, the needle sting was totally bearable. but as soon as i felt the throb of the drug sinking in, i suddenly wanted to back out. i didn't know it would be that excruciating due to the density of the drug. but nonetheless, i was still able to put on a poker face, so as not to add apprehension to my sister. and i'm glad i faced those shots because i know it was for the good of my health. atleast now matapang na ako magkakain ng mga roasted isaw...

only 3 minutes to healthy goodness...

these past 2-3 weeks, i developed a habit of having instant chocolate flavored porridge (champorado sa madaling salita) for breakfast daily.. (unless heartthrob pau sumawang begs me to have breakfast with him.. hehehe joke lang pau). im just thinking, is it unhealthy to have this food daily? checking the ingredients stated on the packaging, it says: sugar, rice, dairy creamer, thickener (starch), milk powder, cocoa powder, artificial chocolate flavor, vegetable gum, vitamins (A&C). whatcha think? sorry guys, i suck at distinguishing bad contents from good in food. as long as it suits my taste, it goes to my mouth.

it's coke zero, why worry?

after visiting my friend lambert's blog awhile ago about st. peter @ mrt, i suddenly remember about an entry i was supposed to post 2 months ago, which i evidently failed to put up because of the work piled up to my neck.

last march 16 i got a call from my boss, requesting me to come to the office for an urgent task. since it was a sunday (it's my day-off for crying out loud, and the pacquiao-marquez fight was currently on), at 11:30 am, chances are i'm still in bed. so i got up, fixed my self and went off. on my way, i passed by 7-11 in farmers plaza and bought some chips and a can of coke zero.

when i arrived at the security of the mrt and had my bag inspected, they didn't let me in. they said tin cans are not allowed. fuck... i thought. so i had to hide it deeply then went to the other entrance! and of course i got in (some security huh). ironically, when i boarded the train, this is what i saw:



nice no?

if only...

if i am to start a sentence with these two words, i wonder how many ways will i be able to end it...

~ if only my father was.... ay, ayoko. it wouldn't be me at all if i had a different father, no matter how much i dislike him.

~ if only i didn't shift to another course... ay, ayoko rin, my life would have been like hell if i continued the course i didn't like.

~ if only i didn't attend the 7-7-7 meetup... ay, ayoko pa rin. i wouldn't have met my few special friends and my best friend if i didn't attend.

~ if only i was taller... nah, i know my friends like me the way i am right now.

~ if only i wasn't a chaser... shucks, then i'd be attracted to... eeeeewwww!

~ if only i didn't fall inlove with the last person i fell inlove with... hindi rin, i wouldn't have learned a lot and wouldn't be stronger if i didn't, no matter how painful it was.

hmmm, for someone who doesn't believe in fate, it feels strange to think that everything happens for a reason. for every heartrending experience i get, there's always something good in return.

aha!.. alam ko na:

~ if only those who visit my blog would leave comment/s, this site would be more colorful and interesting. what do you think?...

back...

... to my wallow central. 'seems like things are just running in circles. it's so exhausting... my heart is so beat, yet i still have to put on a happy face, because i want to be happy for all those i loved, i really do. but when will i ever be happy for myself?

and now i'm ready...

yep... somebody smacked me last night na...


the wind is playing in the trees
kicking up confetti leaves
sings as if it's all to say

a zillion thanks to you... mr. mandy moore :)

my old quandary...

for months now, i still have the same predicament. i have no idea how to get out of it, yet i'm scared to know how... because i may not like it. it feels so unfair. i feel like i'm so much less of a person. sigh... will somebody please slap me...

long weekend...

@ 02/24, 11:14 am
for the third time, i'm back here in nasugbu, batangas. i, together with 11 friends, came here last night, and plan on staying here 'till tomorrow morning. as of now, i only had about one and a half hours sleep. some of us already dipped in the pool this morning. and a little later in the afternoon, we'll try the beach naman. it's a bit quiet at this time here in the condo since some are still asleep while the others are doing the pamamalengke. i wonder what's for lunch...

@ 02/26, 12:06 pm
well, we ended up leaving the place yesterday afternoon na. "most" of us still lack sleep. halos walang ginawa kundi lumamon at magtsismisan. while some chose to be infuriating by jeering almost nonstop at others. well, i guess there should always be spoilers for every fun... like the poprice with sinigang. :)

so my say about this long weekend... kailangan ko magpapaya soap...

a great u - turn...


so close to reaching
that famous happy end
almost believing
this was not pretend...


i just had a really great view... perfect sight, the air i breathe, the scent.... if i could only stop time and space, i would have done so. probably one of the highlights of my life...



oh my sleeping child
the world so wild
but you built your own paradise...

merry february xmas...

yep, you read that right. last night we just held a christmas party for our store personnel. we usually do it on january, but since we had three principal visitors last month, ayun... nauna pa ang valentines kesa sa christmas party. i was so exhausted because i was the host for that affair. but guess what, i found it more enjoyable than our own office party last december. i wonder why...

sense of rumor...

a long walk with a dear friend, strolling in the mall, pizza with more friends, coffee until late in the evening... everything won't be complete without talking about other people's lives. admit it or not, it's part of our system. most of us are walking tabloids. we may be amused, sometimes annoyed. as for me, i find it enjoyable but only with the right company. and i had a great evening by the way...

choice...


pain is inevitable, but misery is optional

most of us don't choose a difficult life, it chooses us. but we can always choose our response to it.
