PAG-IBIG nga naman

great... i received another call from eva (donna and i call her eba), the good agent, she said there's still a conflict with my surname in my PAG-IBIG docs. CAMAGAO pa rin daw surname ko. gosh! i filed a leave, spent an entire day to fix that bug. and it's still not ok?!? waaah! annoying na sobra ha! well, at least MICHE is now MICHELLE! =) hehe

i have to drop by their office tomorrow at 8am to re-re-re-re-re-re-correct the ESAV form: cross out CAMAGAO, re-write CAMACHO, affix signature and date. how monotonous could that sound? mwehehehe... i hope this is the last time i'll do that. i'm beginning to get hints that it's not meant for me haha.

oh well... ok lang. nothing STILL could pull me down. =)

paantok thoughts...

  • i have this huge nasty bruise on my left leg. Bumped it really bad on our sofa last friday. Scanned a health book for bruise remedy: nothing. Just wait for it to heal. Lousy. very helpful, huh.

  • i appreciate PJ power. PJ as in petroleum jelly. No other lip balm could soothe dry lips like PJ does! Di nakakaitim ng lips promise! Well, hiyangan naman yan of course. I just happen to love PJ and be hiyang with it. =) kulang na lang ata e kainin ko hehe.

  • "you love me but you dont know who i am" - heard over the radio. Isn't that just weird? I'm not familiar with the song but it caught my attention hehe. kinda annoying e.

  • Boulevard of broken dreams - heard a cool version earlier. It was like a medley with other two songs na d ko na maalala? They kind of mixed the songs and the effect was really nice. I think aerosmith was also in the background? If i heard the dj right. Hehe.. Labo ko. Basta it was a cool version!

  • constantine II - my wish was finally granted. A repeat of constantine. Kuya bought a couple of dvds. Watched with ma and kuya. mas malinaw na sya ngayon hehe =)

  • puerto - cant take my mind off it. Until we finally get there!

  • catch me if you can - sige nga? (winks). Nauna ko eh.. =)

  • ayaw na - antok na...


  • * matutulog na lang ang daldal ko pa... lang wenta.

    bridal shower, redefined

    highlights of riche's "surprise" bridal shower:

  • kinky night gown - met mau at 430 to shop for halay gift for riche. after the hundred-kilometer-walk-slash-search, we ended up buying this black sleek nightgown. i could never imagine myself wearing something like that. comfy with my shorts and shirt. thanks! but riche, you MUST use our gifts ha! we'll be hurt if you didn't! aw shucks...


  • dream book - we still have plenty of time so we made tambay at power books. scouted for interesting stuff and found this super nice book: a compilation of FRIENDS stuff. it's this really big thick magazine, highly graphic and textual in nature, pretty much contains oh so juicy info about the show, characters, all 10 seasons! nice! dream book! checked the price: ah eh... 1.2K hanep! great wish list next christmas! super i like! =) we spent an hour ata scanning the book. ayaw ko na sana bitawan, but i must let go. hehe! naluha ako just putting it down. joke. oa lang.


  • scripted scheme - time to meet with allen and the rest of the girls... proceeded to redbox room 32 to plan the scheme. mau and i took part in the rather scripted drama: we'll accidentally see allen and riche in their supposedly best friend dinner daw and make yaya sa redbox. geez! we're lousy actresses! plastic! hehe... nevertheless, we managed to drag riche to redbox, where the rest of the gang's waiting. it worked well. proof: the surprised yet happy reaction on riche's face when she saw her girlfriends in that historical room 32.


  • condom fluid - my 2nd time to... ummm... let me put it this way... play with, touch, examine, grin over, unroll, smell, pisil a condon... and the condom fluid that comes along with it. hehe a literal blow job! woohoo! contest ito! palakihan. ng ano? condom balloon, dummies! and both are on bridal shower parties ha! eeew! icky fluid! i didn't win... does it necessarily mean the winner is a good blower? and i'm not? along with the other talos? hehehe. after the game, used condoms were all over the place. kahiya eeewww!


  • kink-giving - it was really galing. every gift was either black or pink! good luck to riche and raj! may you both enjoy and utilize the gifts to the fullest hehe. those were given for a purpose. nasa tamang edad na kayo, alam nyo na lahat yan hehe!


  • no deuce bigalow - hehe walang macho dancer... or hubadero in any form... was that a good or bad thing? hmmm.. lemmesee...


  • conclusion - FUN! oh, is it classified under clean fun? hehehe...


  • more bridal showers to come! go girls! =)

    an afternoon with mauie and some reminiscings

    having spent the entire afternoon with mauie, i had an urge to recall some good memories and broadcast some interesting facts about a girl i sooo miss...

  • i've know her my entire elementary and HS life but i could recall only one encounter where we had a dialogue... with rya? remember that, mau? 4th year? imagine that! 10 years and only one dialogue: which was a mere hi and hello? lousy!


  • mau is like my nottie in spi; my tonette in lcg; my shelo/dencia/thecx/michie in HS. the "same wavelength" stuff... one will say something and the other will shriek in an almost annoying voice... "ako rin!"


  • we were going-home-via-bus-buddies way back college. i won't forget this really pilya stuff we did. there was this passenger in front of us with a cotton candyish hair. he was asleep. we tried our best to stop ourselves from putting bits of paper on his hair. konti lang naman mga 5. we tried our best but the demons in us were way much stronger. sorry manong cotton candy hair! labis naming pinagsisisihan ang lahat.


  • going home one afternoon, the bus we were riding crashed with the one in front of it. location: fly over sa baclaran. we were safe, but we had a couple of bruises and bumps. what's freaky is... we have them on exactly the same body spots. as in super same!


  • oh, we both like anything with strawberry... and the taste of strawberry seeds. i only knew that when she commented on my strawberry post.


  • if we're in a group of people, we'll never get out of place... as long as we have each other... we're contented with our private bungisngisan and giggles. yahoo! sometimes, we just look at each other and we know what goes on inside the mind of the other... naks...


  • miss you so much, mau! =) let's date sometime like on a regular basis hehehe! mwah! =)

    it just hit me...

    like a splash of ice cold water... that the reason it wasn't there when i looked for it is: it's never meant to happen that way. not now, not in this lifetime...

    hehe... i knew it. just got off from a phone call and that confirms it. i knew it! well... disappointed? yup. very much. but not sad, disappointed pero naliwanagan. that explains the frequent go-theres. oh well. at least i know not that the special offer consists of only THAT hehe. wala nang side dish kumbaga hehe... kaya pala mura hehe.

    i have a bad feeling though, that some sort of other dimensional power is involved here. ESP? 'cause everytime i think of it, something from that source just pops my way. sometimes it freaks me out na! hehe. i'm doomed then if there's some mind-reading going on here. now i know... now i know.

    phantom of the opera - nambibigti

    hehe... watched the movie with sir mike. i don't know why, but the last imprints of the the movie were: the bigti moments. hehe! couldn't he just use his dagger or his sword? or latigo maybe? the bigti is not so precise... mwehehehe!

    all i ask of you - years ago, i remember playing this piano piece... whole-heartedly, with matching kanta pa! mahirap kumanta while playing the piano. either i miss the keys or i sing out the wrong words hahaha! nice song... =)

    my mom was like, "o mga kids, maglilinis tayo ng bahay ngayon ha...". uh-oh... i said, "pwede ba tom. na lang maglinis? may lakad kse ako ngayon eh". ma, malumanay ang boses, "sino kasama mo?". casually, "si mike po, a friend". no sweat, "ok, basta wag manood ng sine. kain lang."

    hehe. i didn't reply. as i pointed out a few days ago, don't see anything wrong, even malicious, watching movies with guy friends. uy si mommy, iba mag-isip... hehe. what difference does it have with watching it with girl friends? nagkataon lang guy yung friend diba? hehe. toinksssss.... ayan may pang blackmail na ang mga tao sakin... hehe! good work.

    had a great time =)... sarap strawberry drink, giant pizza, singer in red and dancers in red... hehe! and the movie was... uhmmmm... musical hehe! as yongyong said, galit na, nabibigti na, kumakanta pa mwehehehe! enjoy! =)

    pandesal, jam, and peanut butter

    geez... i missed this yesterday. naudlot ang pandesal. somebody was stupid enough to leave her keys hehe... nauwi sa minute burger burgers at mango juice hehe... sayang... sarap pa naman nun. nalalasahan ko na halos ang buto ng strawberry. hehe. oh well. somebody had tons of pandesal, jam, and peanut butter! bwahaha! 10 pandesals?!?!? bwhahaha!

    dudero si kuya

    met with riche last night to give her wedding invitations. on my way there, i received this super absurd text message from kuya...

    "hoy sigurado kang c riche and kasama mo? Jst a frndly remindr, lam mo na ang tama at mali. N i know u r smartr than all these. Ingat, love u"

    weird! hehe... i just stared at my phone for like 1 minute in total disbelief and amusement. hehe. i know he meant well but what did he think i was up to that night? alam ko na ang tama at mali? hell, yes, i do! hehe! not like i'm 16! he knows i'm smarter than all these? if he knew, he wouldn't have reminded me haha! besides, i don't remember doing something "mali"... whatever he means with that, duh. hehe!

    how did i respond?

    "Ha? Wla nmn ako tnatago syo.. D last time i did, it didn't turn out wel.. Pg lumabas ako w a guy, ssbhn ko nmn.. =) i love u 2.."

    i found it sweet... i mean his concern and how he's been open about it. and it's true. the last time i kept things from him, from them, it didn't turn out well. suddenly i'm dying to pour it all out to him =) he's the only one who doesn't know about my ill-fated maiden journey... hehe titanic ito.

    hmmm... palibhasa takot si kuya sa karma. he probably knows the daughter or the sister suffers the karma of the father or the brother. i pretty much suffered my father's na. hehe done na po... there's more? i've got 2 brothers ah! waaah! 2 sneaky brothers!!! waaah! yoko na! hehe!

    whenever kuya narrates his lagot-ka-may-karma-ito stories, gusto ko sya batukan... toinks! sakin babalik yan!!! please stop doing that! waaah!

    risk no more, part 2

    hay... so much for my drama post a few weeks ago... that i'll be leaving the team. the events twisted, i became a back-filler for unbillable hours. and now it turned out, the team's leaving us. =(

    that's just sad. sad but predictable. predictable and very unstable. in fairness... despite the fact that i'm mostly stiff and uncomfortable around lbm, tears fell when i heard those selfless and dramatic words. samin nga, sad eh, sa kanya pa kaya? =(

    what's next? don't know. lead us, Lord.

    * a big although... i'm extra happy today. sabi nga ni ate maj, from ear to ear ang smile maghapon bwahahaha!

    simply put, bliss =)

    i don't know why i feel so happy lately. and i love it when i feel this way. parang naka-ecstasy ba. hehe. red sea lang talga nagpapa-sad sakin e. i have morbid thoughts when the red sea is coming. but now, i am so appreciative of the people a.k.a. blessings around me. especially MY mom, MY kuya, and MY win. i feel so blessed to have them with me. though my family member count is a "heaping" 4, it is simply perfect; simply complete. i may not have experienced the warmth and security of having a "real" father, but i have more than enough right here with me. i love hearing our laughters blend into this wonderful music. i could not ask for anything more... well, maybe more peaceful and happy and contented years with them. and maybe a more open relationship between kuya and win. but they're getting there.

    i admit though, i don't say my i love yous, i don't shower them with hugs and kisses, but i'm working on it. guilty of showering the wrong and unworthy person (singular form ito hehe) with a million and one i love yous, hugs, and kisses in the past. heck, the real people are standing here by my side pala.

    in boot camp, they taught the principle of having spotters - when you traverse a wire or climb a 20-ft wall, there are people beneath you, ready to catch you when you fall. so you're confident you won't die there as you climb. mom, kuya, and win are my spotters but i feel shy, even awkward, expressing my love for them. I'M WORKING ON IT. =)

    in the same way, i appreciate the presence of my friends: old and new, close and not-so-close, those i miss. friends i see everyday, once a week, once a decade, or even once in a lifetime. all of them. all of you. i appreciate every little gesture, smile, story, corny or not. everything. gosh! i'm so happy! i wish i feel like this everyday. tipong nothing can drag me where only shadows dwell. =) picture me: sitting on a cloud, smiling, feet hanging and making kuyakoy pa. hehe! weeee! happy state! =)

  • we're paid to do this? cooolest!!!

  • omg! what's that weird garglish-waterish sound? am i hearing things? nah! they hear it too! =)

  • 30 mins to go...

  • hmm.. yung buhok ko amoy creamsilk. hehe pati buhok pinagdiskitahan. malamang! ganun ang amoy kse siguro creamsilk ang gamit ko. palagay mo?

  • hmmm.. "for all of my life, you are the one, i will love you faithfully". bakit ko naisip yan? now i'm singing aloud.

  • wanna wiwi again

  • shoot... my pen is dying! hehe... i love this pen! nooo! don't leave me!

  • annoying!

  • wanna go home!

    constantine, hinimay

    hehe late na. it's almost 8pm. i should've headed home at 7 but the topic here at the work area is so interesting hehe... conference ng constantine. imagine, chairs huddle at the center of the area and we utter almost-whisper-Q&As. hehe mega explain ang mga tao about the whys and whos of the movie hehe.. and i was like aaaahhh! kaya pala! medyo iba pagkaintindi ko ah hehehe... lousy. if there were a book, ay super good read yun... suzy said it's a comic something daw. hehe. i wish may book din hehe! =)

    well, time to go home. tapos na ang 1st annual constantine explanation forum hehehehe...

    puppy love, take three

    on my way home last night, i decided to walk instead
    of taking a tric. As i turned left, di naman ako
    masyado nagulantang when i saw puppy love. As in super
    salubong. Hehe. Just in time to see him yawn. A big
    yawn. Kita utak. Hehe nahiya ata. Nevertheless, he
    gave me this big smile. I gave him back a big smile
    and said hello. Hehe. Sbhin ko sana mis ko sya,
    kwentuhan kme. Ganun ba, kaya lang d pde yun. bka
    sapukin ako hehe. and you only blurt out lines like
    that in your head, not aloud. Oh well, hes still cute.
    And hes still married. Hehe still daw e no! Parang
    magbabago yun! Di na ko msyado kinilig. Slight na lang yihee..

    the tube gown (finally) and 3 invites to constantine

    today, the original plan was just to get the oh-please-dont-fall-gown (it looks good btw! =) i have to wear bra pa hehe so it won't REALLY fall hehehe. bukod sa foam na nilagay ni tita).

    Last night, maricor asked me if i'd like to watch constantine with them (with angel and donna?). Will text me today daw to confirm. 1 invite... lolo dex said the same thing, pasama nood, will text me by noon to confirm. hmm.. lolo dex, tama ako! may proof ako promise! 2 invites... Come saturday morning, si sir mike pasama din nood after an errand. 3 invites... Hehe. Natawa na ko. And it was my turn to give the "i'll confirm by noon" line as i wait for the first two confirmations. Ang gulo hehe.. By noon, no messages from the first 2 invites, ok go na with the 3rd invite. Parang gmail a may invites.

    What's with constantine, i wonder? Hehe. It was good, a bit confusing though, lalo na if you've established some pretty good foundations on your faith na; and you've pretty much painted a perfect picture of characters like gabriel and satan and lucifer in your mind way back high school. I was like, ah eh iba ang pagkakilala ko sa kanila noon a! Amusing to have heard some tagalog phrases there!

    Lessons learned:
    i thank God i don't have a third eye - don't want to see what i'm not supposed to see. i'm very much contented with what my eyes have to offer. contented with the wonders of this dimension i am allowed to view right now.
    i thank God i'm not a psychic - no, thanks. i'm game for the many surprises life has to offer. don't want to pre-see morbid and not-so-morbid stuff before they actually happen.
    i thank God i'm not an exorcist (much more the one being exorcised) - contented with my current job. and the demon spirits in my body aren't in an alarming level yet hehe... slight lang.
    and i thank God i don't smoke - clean pair of lungs? yahoo!

    Baka may magyayaya pa manood? Donna? Kuya? Ma? Dencia? Hehe.

    ay sir mike! it was fun! mag OT ka ha unahan mo na! regards kay ma'am! hehe i like her character! the best!

    chaos

    Just woke up. My room is a mess. It doesnt look this
    way yesterday! What happened? Dont look at me! Hehe!
    It is amazing how i still find everything i need.
    Hehe! Just a little toss here, a little halungkat
    there and i find what im looking for. Bwahaha! Neat,
    eh! Promise when i get back from mass, itll be
    national room clean up day! Itll be spic and span
    again, youll see!

    my bisolvon syrup and feelings of being unwell

    last night had dinner with donna, char, dorots, and jet. hay masaya... super. i miss those duh girls. =) had dinner at chef d' angelo. we feasted on their P99 meal which consisted of pasta, pizza, and ostrich... este chicken lang pala ang laki kse e. plus salad. so busog.



    after dinner, i asked for a spoon and they were all wondering why. dukot sa bag, and took out my bromhexine bisolvon syrup hehe. and they laughed hysterically. why? what's wrong with my bisolvon.. hehe they were like, "caths, duh, hello! uso na ang capsule ngayon!" hehe malay ko! kaya pala the pharmacy-girl was asking if i like the liquid or the capsule one. well, walang paki-alamanan hehe i've always associated cough medicine with syrup. it ain't cough remedy if it ain't in syrup form hehe. well, weird nga namang i bring it everywhere i go, but hehe fine. i'm weird.

    now, though, i'm not feeling so well. puyat din kse for the past few nights. why? ewan ko rin. my head's a bit heavy, still coughing, and sneezing. i have to feel better soon. puerto na on the 25th!!!!! yoohoo summer's here. itim balat's here as well. duh... as if i care. =) hmmm... dapat ata criss cross ang swim suit strap para ma-shoray tingnan sa tube gown (na hindi lalaglag [sana] dahil sa foam). hehe landi...

    *i'm happy still, =) so happy =) so happy =) so happy =) so kulit =)

    some pics:

    yipeee! yahoo! woohooo! hurrah! hephep! =)

    i'm a [super ultra mega times 10 to the 1 millionth power] happy soul today... wanna know why?

    off to makati to meet the resign-people hehe... hmmm... kelan kaya ako tatawaging resign-person hehe... =) pero parang nakakatakot mag bus ah. hmmm... mrt? scary din. taxi? mahal... hehe. hello caths! baka gusto mo na lang maglakad! baka hagisan din ng bomba... maalikabok pa, mausok... magtakip ng panyo (tali sa muka)? hmmm... mukang mang ho-hold-up hmmm wag na lang kaya tumuloy. praning!

    plus... gumagana ang mga dapat gumana. tumatakbo ang mga dapat tumakbo.

    plus... di ako late kanina. 8:54 yahooo!

    plus... alam nyo ba kung bakit ako happy? hehe secret na yun. if i shared it, baka mabawasan yung happiness-level sa kaloob-looban ng system ko. pag di ko na kaya i-contain, that's the time i'll share it. basta happy ako today. i feel so light =) yahooo! i can fly hehe tama na oa. babooo!

    ay si mr. e-learning nag didiscuss pa pala hehe... i'm giving him 5 mins. can't delay my lakad hehe. =)

    red sea it is

    I cant believe im teary-eyed... Actually crying na.
    Mababaw lang ba talga ko, or nakakaiyak talga yun, or
    the red sea is coming in a few days kaya Im this ultra
    sensitive soul na naman. The last time i cried over
    something like this was about 6 yrs ago? Bata pa ko
    nun. Hehe. Well, im on this boat again. I think this
    is the 2nd time? I just stared at it for a few
    seconds, realized and accepted that thats how it is,
    and cried. Whats new? With my crying, i mean... Im
    glad i did anyway. I feel better now. =)

    what could have caused it?

    i have no idea... but it must be pretty bad. oh well, as the song goes "another one bites the dust" hehe. na-dead... 'di kaya lose one turn lang? nah... dead na hehehe...

    siguro...

    i won't be this tired kung 'di ako masyadong naglilikot kanina sa badminton hehe. 'di ko alam where the energy comes from this super payat katawan. good luck tomorrow. i hope i might manage to get out of bed hehe.

    wow... we had 2 hrs of laughing, dancing, cheering, joking, shouting (vowel sounds only hehe). ay nawala ang badminton. yup we played badminton nga pala hehe. it's only now that i learned the rules and mechanics of the game. thanks to my mentors: ate maj, yongca, ja, jet, maricor. you guys are the best playmates. blast talga =) thursday, then?

    and i thought i'm immature...

    i'm sorry i have to post this. sorry sa tatamaan but i just have to let it all out. don't want to keep it inside. you're not supposed to be reading this and this is my blog anyway. you didn't hear anything from me, i didn't bother you after the big fat lie thing, and i get this?

    subsob sa work, i received a surprising call this morning. that was what i thought at first but as i stayed on the line and heard that crap, i got annoyed. what exactly are you trying to get across with that conversation? i didn't have anything to do with it. period. why confront me? why me? why not di, or that guillermo guy? do i really have to hear you fight over the phone? kindly perform your detective work on somebody else.

    ako na nga yung natapakan nang todo at naloko, for over a year! ako pa yung guguluhin when things don't go well. delikadesa naman dyan. konti lang please... i did my best to SOMEHOW be a friend... and i get this as a reward?

    i'm minding my own business here. i think i've done a pretty good job and moved on with my life. now, you involve me in matters where i don't want to be involved? i've told you this before, and i'm stressing it again now. PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME AGAIN.

    a sad conclusion of the day of love

    Cant believe we are losing lives on hearts day. It is
    supposed to be a day when you send out warmest wishes
    and greetings of love, not a day you bomb buses and
    take away lives of innocent people. We all have
    principles and griefs but there are far more better
    ways of making them known. For all we know, a wife is
    waiting for her husband, a mom for her daughter, a
    girl for her bf, a child for his dad. Only to find out
    theyre never coming home... Just because somebody is
    trying to make a point, just because somebody is
    trying to voice out his grievances.. and hubby, bf,
    daughter, dad happened to be in the wrong place and
    time. Boom! In an instant, theyre gone... Along with
    the oh-so-sparkling dreams they could possibly have.
    But then again, theres no such thing as a wrong place
    and time. Everything happens for a reason but still,
    you dont just plant bombs and kill and play god. These
    are people here, not just some trash you throw
    around... Thats rather sad. I sympathize with all the
    victims and those they left behind.

    joke ba yun?

    well, it's not funny. it's not amusing. it's not entertaining. is that your idea of entertaining someone? more like entertaining yourself... at the expense of hurting and dumping someone and leaving that someone clueless and slightly bruised. good thing it's not yet "that" critical... as in point of no return? hehe... good for you, girl! =) the next time this happens to you, wala lang... just let me know. as if naman may magagawa ako e no. just pour it all out =). i'll absorb all the negative vibes. immune na ko haha.

    sipping...

    Whats left of my strawberry milk shake. Yum! It has a
    cherry. Kuya said once you bite the cherry, it would
    feel like you tasted the car hehe. Our car scent is
    the cherry thing. And yup! It tasted like the car
    hehe.. I really love strawberry milk shake! I even
    love the taste of strawberry seeds! I know it sounds
    weird but it does have a certain lasa once you bite
    the tiny seed! Try it! I swear it tastes good!

    naman si manong e!

    hay... it was an almost perfect day. riding on a bus; on my way home from my lunch date with nanay, daddy, ivan, ate berna, cedie, and justin. i was really excited to go home 'cause i have this blueberry cheesecake vday pasalubong for the gang at home. even bought a few chocolates for some friends to, ya know, keep the valentine spirit flaming. yahoo! i was almost smiling as i stared out the bus window.

    all of a sudden, a manong sat beside me. uy si manong, ang perfume matapang; kaamoy ng air freshener na korteng christmas tree. lamo yun? uy si manong pawis, unusually sobrang makadikit ng braso sa braso ko... slightly alarmed, i tried my best to protect whatever has to be protected. i had an urge to blog the event. i was about to get my phone when manong blurted...

    manong: miss, pwede magtanong?
    (uy si manong malagkit ang tingin malagkit din ang ngiti... now i'm scared.)
    caths: ano po yun?
    (i thought if i ignored him, baka lalo ako bastusin.)
    manong: san ka bababa?
    caths: sa MIA po.
    (i was not making eye contact. at may i mega turn my head away ako! silence... after a few minutes,)
    manong: pwede makipagkilala?
    caths: ay mahiyain po ako.
    (naman si manong e! masyadong nagpapaapekto sa pressure ng vday! at the corner of my eye, i could see him staring at my arms... naman manong! anong meron sa braso ko?!? hmm... sa braso ba yun o sa? naman manong! payat ako e!)
    manong: pangalan lang naman.
    caths: michelle po.
    (now i'm reaaaalllyyyy scared, seat, please eat me. please?!?)
    manong: ilang taon ka na?
    caths: 18 po.
    (i figured if i portrayed the role of a kid, he'll stop bothering me.)
    manong: pwede mahingi ang number mo?
    caths: ay wala po akong cell phone.
    (sabay dasal nang, phone, wag kang mag "me-meeeee" (my txt alert tone) or mag "ha-happyyyy" (my call alert tone). at nakisama ang phone. hush hush sya. salamat sa mga kaibigan kong hindi nag text ng mga oras na yun! hehe.)

    at kung ano-ano pang pambobola ang ginawa ni manong... until finally, he ended up giving me his cp number, written on a piece of paper na sinuksok ko sa SM plastic bag na dala ko at naitapon ko na rin pagbaba nya. sabay hirit ng "i-text mo naman ako paminsan-minsan." at tingin ng kakaibang tingin. and he had to go, thank God! "happy valentine's day ha." mga 5 times nyang inulit-ulit yan... naman manong e!!! akala ko ba muka akong masungit?!?! waaaah! when he got off, i really couldn't help but roll my eyes in disgusto! si manong o nakakainis nakakapaningkit ng mata!!! nananakot! waaaah!

    yongyong... lasing ka ba?

    si yongyong ni-text ako kagabi... he sounded really down. alarmed naman ako, i thought it was something that required super mega urgent attention. tawag naman ako... and i heard those babbles? ano ba ito? lasing? sus... what's the emergency? my gazz... i don't know why you do that. not that i'm annoyed, in fact natutuwa ako, natatawa ako.

    sa bagay i'm used to him acting that way. haha... when something like that happens, it's either may something sa kanila or he's just into another ego trip (?) or he's trying to deduce something from me hehe... peace yongyong, friends tayo forever! or lasing sya, or naka-drugs hehe joke, or may sapi. yun yun! miss na rin kita ah! kape natin di na natuloy ever! ay ayoko na palpitate ako ulit eh =(

    *last week pa dapat tong post na to... hehe nagkalat ang drafts ko kung saan-saan..

    that's why!!!

    You are at a dramatic climax in your monthly emotional cycle today, catherine. It is quite possible that you will erupt like a volcano. Do not be ashamed at releasing these emotions. You will find that your feminine and masculine natures are quite connected, and that they are working harmoniously in order to express themselves to the fullest. Open up the gates of communication and let the stampede come charging through. arrgh... =(

    it's raining crushes

    hindi naman masyadong world crush day ngayon ano?!?!? hehe! kakatuwa! =) yahoo!

    life's little teases

    i'm arranging riche's wedding invitation. our neighbor has this printing press (off topic: heck... awful lot of trades in my "peaceful" neighborhood. meat trade, drug trade hehe, printing trade, computer trade, tric parts trade, tric trade). kuya bernie, the owner of the printing press (also a family friend), sent me samples of their invitations this morning. i was checking the samples. i coughed and laughed out loud when i saw the names... lech si puppy love and his wifey haha! ain't that funny?! kulit! of all naman ng samples e yun pa talga! hey life! you really have a way, huh! hehe kulit. life's little glitches. =) btw, wifey's name is really cute: holiness =)

    zzzzzzzzzz....

    pde ba matulog? waaah! maaga naman ako natulog. i completed 8 hrs of peaceful (?) sleep. why am i so sleepy? don't want a cup of coffee ang bilis na naman ng tibok ng puso ko eh. i've been having a lot of "voicing out" lately... more like babbles and grumbles and weird anythings hehe... geez! can't stop yawning... no motivation. =(

    that was quite sudden...

    should've been posted last friday:

    hay. it went bad, didn't it? i dunno. it looks like it went bad and i can't help it. sorry. i was nervous. my hands were all sweaty and shaky. my voice was really quaky as well. and i sounded like i was babbling trash rather than discussing what i was supposed to talk about with confidence. hay so much for soaring... more like sore-ing hehe corny. i don't feel bad though. kebs-ko-attitude rules! Lord, navigate my life! i'll just play the role of a co-pilot hehe.

    8 watts...

    is too much. It is glaring at me! I was battling
    between 5 and 8. Thought 5 would be too dim. Wrong
    calculation! Now too much light is piercing through my
    eyes. Cant get to set my sleepy mode. I dont want to
    read tonight. i just want to pour out whatever is
    running through my head. Heck.. Dont be such a baby!
    Youve always been! Sige sermonan ang self... I dunno
    what the ultimate downer was. It started around 11am.
    I cant recall what caused the sudden change of mood.
    And i resorted to whatever i can cling on to but
    nothing helped. Aw.. This feeling sucks! I want my
    sunny mode back!

    everythings light...

    Everythings cool... But then again theres always
    something that flaws the seemingly perfect landscape.
    Little worries that whisper and echo in your conscious
    and subconscious mind..Like a tiny dot on your
    tabularasa. Hey, it is still a dot! Geez, thats so
    negative! Why do i suddenly point my finger on that
    tiny dot on the perfectly clean and beaming slate? I
    hope the wind navigates me to the perfect calm,
    comforting, safe spot ive been longing to see for
    quite some time now. =) cant linger here. Where? I
    dunno. I just like the sound of cant linger here...

    sunday - lost momentum

    since last week, i've been dying to post the various activities and wide array of emotions i've had (all happy and colorful and semi-weird thoughts!). unfortunately, i didn't have the luxury of enough time to pour out all my inner voices and share my emotions... i'm saving a couple of drafts in my phone but i don't feel like re-typing those hehe. tamad. i just kinda lost the momentum for the events hehe. lousy. why am i saying this.. i don't know. i think weird today.

    i should be taking a bath now. i'm off to lcg meeting. emergency meeting ata. dunno what for. hehe =) i might drop by ezem siguro later or tomorrow evening... off to buy some stuff... socks, bulb, shampoo, conditioner, pay my phone bill. we're not into the weekly-family-grocery thing anymore... tinatamad na si ma, time-consuming daw =( so i keep on forgetting to pay my phone bill haha buti di pa pinuputol. i remember, naputol sya once, sus it felt very weird pag walang phone! mega run ako sa ezem to settle the payment haha! quite fast naman ang reconnection after mga 3 hrs ata hehe! signing out... =)

    remembering notie...

    ay ano ito? tribute? haha... pangit ata ng title.

    it's a typical thursday morning... but i realized my typical days are now not-so-typical. donna's not here =(. it's not the same without my fartner =(.

    over the years (hanep parang ang tagal, well 3 yrs lang naman), i've learned to live in this office WITH donna. and so now, i recall everything that i associate with donna:

  • restroom mate - somehow, we've learned to adjust our body-waste-elimination clock to be in sync with each other. frequent trips to the restroom? yup! and we do wiwi! we don't just stand there and chika!


  • chat/netsend/email mate - my seat's just behind her. i don't know why we bother to type what we have to say. sometimes it's just a "hi" or "ano gawa mo?" but heck... i love doing that!


  • fad mate - at least once a month, we've got our attention and effort into something uso. sample? pa-straight ng hair, SSS ID, townhouse tripping, star earrings, landmark cheap blouses, swimsuits, digicam, pictorial, get payslip, badminton, green tea, body salt scrub, loreal, FRIENDS, manlait (oh bad!). one fad i didn't indulge into though... wedding gown hunt hehe.


  • chika mate - would you believe, besides chika times in office, we still telebabad? i don't know how we find an endless range of topics but we just never run out of interesting things to talk about.


  • going-home mate - the sweetest thing is... even if my home's slightly out-of-way from hers, i mean she could easily take south super highway when we come from makati, she still takes sucat route to drop me off... aaah... thanks for all the drop-off nights =)


  • pictorial mate - yup... when harbie "gave" (hehe talgang gave e no! peace, harbs!) us the digicam last year, we've had millions of pictures. on outings, we see to it that we have pictures of the sunrise and sunset - and of course us, in mahalay-but-not-mukang-mahalay poses! hehe...


  • the list could go on... =) i could go on for ages just sharing wonderful moments i've had with donna. but my fingers are strained na hehe... i'll just keep them inside and let the happy thoughts linger there. and now i wish you God's blessings as you embark on your new journey. give others the opportunity to get to know this bubbly good soul - donna =) mwah!
