by the sea...
over, to be thankful for the blessings that came my
way, to be sorry for being rude sometimes, to be glad
for my constant checks (and being constantly checked
ü), to be contented that i live simply but happily,
to be aware that i have everything i need and love
right here with me, and to know that these are more
than enough to fully understand that i have a good and
happy life.
*muni-muni sa tabing dagat sa mindoro =)

good friday madness
good friday. I have been everything but good. Thats
bad? We were Supposed to join the procession, like we
always did over the years, but mas sprained ankle left
us all lazy as well. We didnt wake up in time even for
the ceremony before the procession so we just watched
it pass by the house. It was solemn as always. Come
dinner time, my uncles bought another case of beer
(pale ito!) and kuya encouraged me to have a bottle.
Makisama ba. Oh well, so much for good friday.
Maki-pag toma ba sa mga mama kong uncle?! Well, at
least, i didnt have a taste of the pulutan! Meat eh! I
just consumed vcut instead. Bwahaha! Lesser evil ba
raw? Excuses! Well i guess it was sort of a
penintensya for me. It really tasted nasty! Ill never
like beer ever! The best i could do is a bottle. Not
that i cant tolerate the amats. All i feel is a little
floating feeling and a little pangit feeling sa tummy
and thats it. Ang pangit lang talga ng lasa.
Nakakasuka! Ulk!! Pero tolerable naman. Tom, were
going home na. So the kain-tulog-constant-checks
remedy has come to an end... Just right. =)

ipit queen
ma pours it all out to me... kuya pours it all out as well. yeah, literally, i'm the middle child. i'm in the middle of every misunderstanding. i absorb every pain and sentiment, which i couldn't tell the other party... i just might give a different, worse version. imagine how it feels to be asked, "o ano sinasabi nya?". what am i supposed to say? my goodness.
=( hey guys, kiss and make up na! mindoro na eh =( can't enjoy if you're in a war mode =(
on "long pauses, awkward moments..."
i didn't see that coming. well, maybe i DID see that coming, but not THAT soon. funny... i thought it was just a regular/normal/sane afternoon.
awkward moment? hell, yes! top it all off with a heavy traffic to just make it more dragging.
reaction?
i just sat there clumsily, covered my mouth or whatever i felt like covering with my hanky, insanely played with my hair, crazily hacked my brain for something to say... but there was just none.
hehe funny moment ito... ever!

busy pa kay jollibee
i can't believe i stayed at the office until 1am (wed) and 1130pm (thurs). grabe! i had testing tasks for 2 builds! waaah! grabe! i was so bangag na last night! at ang mga mata! dead na! hehe guhit na lang.. ang pangit.
oh well, two major events graced my life for the past week:
read on below =)
puerto galera = woohoo!!!
after three years of planning, este "drawing" outings with the batch, finally the plan pushed through.
this is my, uhmmm.... 5th time to visit white beach but i don't and i won't get tired of going there. =) every experience is a blast!
cast of characters:
batch7 members: donna, caths, maricor, rico, harbie
bitbits: justin, mike, jet (well, jet is also a bitbit for the batch hehe), mak, ria
every batch7 member has a corresponding bitbit haha... and it was funny that we always walked and sat in pairs... always looking for the "partner" haha kulit!
highlights:
banana boat yell/fall - loko si manong... you have 2 options kse: manong could be harsh and make you hulog sa water or you could be pretty boring and kj and stay on the banana boat for the entire duration of the ride. since we had a foreigner on board, we chose the boring option. they said they wouldn't be responsible for any "misfortune" that might happen. it was a good thing manong lost control of the boat and we fell! woohoo! the best experience! the mere act of struggling to lift yourself up to the banana is super great talga! woohoo!!!
sugat galing - after a megazillion rants about my wound, woohoo! it's dry na! thanks to haring dagat. after the first sea swim, my then slightly basa pang wound started to look really nasty and gory and icky! i didn't mind. i just babad some more... but after a few more minutes, it looked really bad na and i had to go back to the room and clean it. just like magic, it dried up! woohoo! now, all that's left is a flaky pangit scar... hehe! cool!
cutie manong halo-halo and the sunset watch - for merienda, we had fishballs and halo-halo. and this halo-halo store owner was this pretty cool and cute guy haha! kakaaliw! after that, we just piled on the sand to watch the fascinating sunset... and the twinkling stars that just appeared out of nowhere after a few minutes=) great view =) made me breathless
semi-gimik - after dinner, postura ang mga girls! sus gimik attire! well, naka normal shirt lang ako haha... we just had a bottle of beer and headed back to the room na rin after a short stroll. i guess everybody was pretty tired na rin that night.
snorkel fever - woohoo! my first time to snorkel in deep waters! last year was mej corny sa bay lang kami ni win eh! although may corals naman din talga. =) the fishy scenes were very relaxing and amazing. natural high =) i didn't mind getting really cold and trembling hard in the water. the scenes were just fabulous. thank God for the wonders of the world! =)
swim galore- even if the sun's piercing through the melanins and melotonins (huh? ano raw? im bento! wala naman nun) of our skin haha! sige go!!! swim pa rin! =) to hell with skin cancer... i love my sun and i love my salty water!
the batch bracelet- there's this really nice dainty pearl bracelet that we each bought and we declared it the batch bracelet. it's really nice =) i wear it everyday! woohoo! i love you, girls!
the mystery of the anonymous bird- wala naman... i shouldn't be broadcasting this... hehe... i just like the title - the mystery of the anonymous bird. eeeewww!
pics?
a couple of sunset pics =) nice no! pang movie ang dating... i really like the color of sunset =) the last pic is the gimik moment... =)
haha sige liitan ang pics para di masyadong maaninag bwahaha! a couple of landi pics, plus the fave higa sa sand pic. the last is the team A pic. haha!
i would love to go back to puerto!!! =) woohooo!!!
training plus a lot more - hoping to see old friends
the interview was very interesting. hehe... scary! but mind you... the interviewing officer is really kind and young and cute. did i mention he's cute? hehe... he asked just a couple of rather personal questions that aren't really related with the training. it was really very brief. maybe because of the SPI-priority thingie...
well, we were approved. thank God.=) was it good luck? maybe the batch bracelet? or the wound? hehe. aaah... it's got to be the prayers =) salamat sa prayers... plus the SPI-priority thingie. hehe!
i told thecx, michie, tita marie, irish, (camille i hope you're reading this hehe) about it... well, if everything will push through, i MIGHT see them =). i hope to see you guys! =) tita marie's suggesting that i could probably head to new jersey during the last weekend and take my flight to manila from there. when was the last time i saw them? 7 yrs ago? omg! i hope i could see them all! =)
big note:the interviewing officer is really cute! woohoo!

mr. and mrs. sharma
nice. sounds really good =). my warmest and best wishes for riche, raj, and baby z. you guys have definitely been through a lot but you've beaten all the odds and here you are right now. from the super stressful wedding preparations, i hope you could now breathe easily =) and prepare with grace for baby z's coming naman. i especially like what the priest said when you put off the candles of your "individuality" and set the "union" candle afire. and i hope it will burn forever - that no amount of personal differences and trials will ever toggle it to its "off-mode". you guys can make it. =)
the big day for the couple finally arrived and i've got a couple of recorded thoughts running in my head:
kulot - for something new, i had my hair curled (pareho kami ni liza)! naks... courtesy of aling nita, the good-natured parlorista. it felt really cool having locks on you hair haha! liza and i are considering having a perm! woohoo! joke lang. the dyahe thing is, since she couldn't offer home service yesterday, we had to go to her parlor and walk home! with make-up and curls and all! haha kita ng buong sambayanan! wushu. lech.
liza and caths: "before" pics. hehe lagot ako k liza.
"you owe me big time!" - said kuya in his text message when he was "forced" to drive us to riche's home. well, we were already late for the 830 pictorial call time and we couldn't find a taxi. haha... we kinda got lost pa because of the re-routing thing going on in multi. well, i owe you 2 coffee treats na. one of these days. =) it was totally out of the way from his (and ma's) office but he dropped us off anyway. aaah... kuya really loves me =).
pictorial (the genuine thing) - we had a couple of poses in the bride's home. the photographer was this really funny guy whose favorite pose was the "lean-towards-the-bride" pose. hehe! syempre mega smile ang mga ate. haha! f na f ang pictorial. ya uh! with my kulots? why won't i smile? =)
pictorial (the fake thing) - we had a million and one poses using mauie's and liza's cams. hehe. ang barkadang mahilig sa pics. parang lahat ng barkada ko mahilig sa pics hehe.
wedding ceremony and the scary priest - and then came the wedding proper. well, i could tell that the priest was really into the solemnities of the sacrament so he really got cranky when he was distracted with certain things (like the funny photographer and the soft-voiced readers) annoyed him. haha! i understand him. i know he just wants the ceremony to be solemn - with a great couple like them? =) it has to be solemn =)
candle out of sync - hay... my partner and i didn't light the candle at the right moment. hehe no cue? but we managed to make singit before the veil haha! sumingit! =) kahit di kami tinawag, kebs! mega light the candle kami hehe =)
lost souls - on the way to the reception, mauie, marlon, liza, and i got lost! waaah! we weren't able to find our way despite around 10 phone calls for instructions. haha! it was really a road adventure. we just went around in circles: the building with bilog-bilog on top, vinta decor, american cemetery, mcdo, traffic light, jerry's, prince of jaipur, the road to edsa, a couple of road rules violations. haha! fun pa rin! =) after about an hour, we hit the jackpot! haha! we were so gutom na!
glitch - bakit ako ang nakakuha ng bouquet? another one of the glitches in the events of the universe... haha! inuuto ko pa sana si jops na kunin nya yung flower kahit na the music stopped na hehe... di nadaan sa smile ko. oh well, at least the guy who got the garter is "the" manuel quezon! hehe! how cool could it get!? hehe sikat ang partner hehe!
my fave line - was raj's "as my wife said, ..." during his speech. wow... that really sounded new but great =)

Sunday, March 06, 2005
hitch and a lot more (and of course, the wound)
took a quick shower, quick lunch, nursed and gauzed my wound (hehe di talga mawala ang wound), and headed off to meet mike (na may office na pag saturday, bwahahahaha! :p). fave tagpuan: starbucks sa g4 hehe... ay di pala kme umabot dun. hehe. nagkita na sa escalator.
ok... hitch was good. for a moment, we were wondering if we were in the right cinema. hehe nalito. hmmm... mukang lalaki ang writer ng script nito. well, of course, lalaki ang bida. there was something so "manly" hehe about the movie. parang i was making a lot of "talaga lang ha?!" in my mind. it was really hilarious, though! very kulit and funny. the only part i didn't like (that much) was when girlash gave in to guy agad after the guy delivered a mushy line. yun lang? ok na? hehe pinatawad agad? hehe. but the story was really light and nice and not the usual plot. i like! a lot! =) hmmm... si mike, may niligaw na 2 girls na nagtanong kung saan yung aviator... hahaha! lagot ka! hahaha!
ok... merienda. madaya ako kse i don't suggest that much pag sa food... hehe i admit. sensya. well, i don't really have that much preference naman. i'd go for almost anything. and when with a group, i'm always the lead-me-i'll-follow type hehe. i should probably keep a small bottle with kainan names in them. when asked for suggestions on where to eat, hehe randomly bunot a place.. hehe ginawang lotto. well, semi-dinner ang merienda. we ate at kenny's (na lunch ko rin pala hehe)... the quarter chicken with rice, side dish, and muffin. and a half-consumed (hehe nega) choc mousse.
and then there was the half-mass at greenbelt. on the way there, we were almost dashing sa pedestrian lane kse mag go na. "o baka madapa!", he blurted. bwhahaha! fine! so lampa ako!?!? hehe homily na nga lang naabutan, we couldn't hear the sound pa. so it was merely a semi-chika moment eh. mental note: mass starts at 6pm, not 630. hehe.
and finally, coffee... na more chika-moment pa hehe. f na f namin ang pag-upo sa oh-so-comfy chair ng coffee bean & tea leaf (tama ba?). mahirap sumandal, ang liit ko kse hehe. passed on office tales, family tales, mukmoks, and why we always see celebrities when we go out. promise! hehe! always! =) saturday, well spent =). (except the wound)
the winning fall and spi mini olympics
and i thought being a part of the cheer dancers would be ebarrassing... it went by in a breeze, haha... konting kembot kembot at step step lang naman. ok na... besides, we were 13 in the group people probably didn't even notice me there. hehe! yahoo! actually, we won 2nd place pa nga for the cheer! cool, eh!? no sweat!
ok here's the ultimate source of sweat and embarrassment haha! i participated in the 4x50 relay. it works this way, 4 players per team. the 1st runner (holding baton) will make a 50-meter dash, pass on the baton to the next player, and to the next, and to the next. i was the second runner. the entire spi population saw me, why not broadcast the event in my blog? haha!
thoughts before the dash:
thoughts during the dash/fall:
and i shrieked... not the girly type of shriek.. more like a monstrous shriek! geezzzz! felt the rough floor scrape, grate sounds a better word, grate my left elbow and palms and right knee. pain pain pain
nevertheless, i had to stand up and run a little more and pass on the darned baton to the next one, ate maj. we were the 4th placer (out of 6 ito). thanks to me =) hehe
thoughts after the fall:
oh well, the byproduct? yun nga, a 2.5-inch wound. oozing, excruciatingly painful wound hehe kadiri. na dumidikit sa gauze after some time so super painful tanggaling. waaah! should i be putting something on it, like an ointment or antibiotic? waaah! betadine lang lagay ko eh. oh, i have a picture of the wound! wanna see? hehe! later.
funny, when we got back to the bleachers, my teammate's bag was on my seat and i accidentally brushed my oozing wound on his bag. buti di nakita... hehe mega wipe na lang ako hehe. sorry po =(
waaah! aabay pa ko sa tuesday eh! di nga umitim kse di natuloy puerto, nagkasugat naman sus! anova!
i now choose...
emotional pain over physical pain. at least with the
former, i could still sleep. with this darned
2.5-inch-long elbow scrape, i dont wanna close my
eyes... too afraid to scrape it more with my pillows
as i sleep. waaah! emotional pain somehow
involuntarily slips off your mind. the physical one
constantly bugs you. ive never felt this much pain in
years. no oa! it really is painful! makes me wanna cry!

i'm gonna do...
singing last, last christmas in front of a crowd was way too much, but tolerable... but dancing? woaaaah!!! good luck!
i guess i like to dance... pero i only know one number - yung dance steps namin nina donna and maricor - na bagay sa kahit anong music. hehehe.
ano ba itong pinasukan ko? napasubo! waaah!
love moves in mysterious ways
the first time i heard nina's version on wave, i thought it was a foreign artist's version... si nina pala. hanep. kaya pala when i try to sing with it, kapos hininga haha! actually hangin na lang lumalabas. napa-lech ako. ang taas kse sobra ng boses ni nina. hey nina, could you like adjust the song to an octave lower so i could sing with you? i soo like the song e. the thing is, di ako makasabay pag naririnig ko hahaha! umapila pa.
on second thought...
isang tanong, isang sagot... e alam mo pala ehhh! bat mo tinatanong!?!?!? waaaah! leave me alone! waaaaah! malapit na kita deadmahin ulit... waaaah!
thank God for crushes...
o kahit may nang-a-annoy sa paligid ngayon, i don't mind hehe! nothing can irritate me today. =) =) =)
dilemma...
the catch is, my boy here is fooling around with another girl. and by fooling around, i don't mean HS pa-cute and flirting stuff. they're FOOLING AROUND! dig me? tried to talk him out of it... cmon! don't be unfair to the girls! been there and it didn't feel ok to be in their position.
do i tolerate the act because he's my friend? do i discreetly inform the gf? do i play hush hush and kebs and blind about it? 'cause it's none of my business anyway?
i dunno... i just feel for the gf, who's so clueless about it; who believes that the guy is so angel like and behaved hehe.. i'm not that close with the 2 girls but i sooo feel for them. bat ba kse di nakokontento. choose 1 for heaven's sake! wag lang sabay! karma yan, sige! =( masakit yun for the girl(s)... =(
Thursday, March 03, 2005

dead tired...
so there i was, making speeches and sermons to maricor on why she should take in lots of water to ease her tummy discomfort. and now, it's my turn to feel the pain waaaah! remedy: i drank about 8 mugs of warm water... plus around 15 restroom trips. the pain's somehow gone na but medyo meron pa. di nga ko masyado nakalikot sa badminton eh... feel so tired.
abbie and fraulie and dencia are planning a date tom. oooh right! i wanna! let's go, girls! plus... had a good chat with thecx earlier. hay i miss those girls so much!
i'm dead tired but i do have a lot of plans for the coming weeks... =) something to look forward to:
mar 5: spi mini olympics... hehe let's go, team!
mar 6: spa with ma and meet with donna, maricor, harbs, and mama harriet (naks naki mama).
mar 8: yippeeeeee! riche's wedding =) must hold on to gown... hehe
mar 12: puerto with office buddies! yipeee!!! (calling college friends, kelan tayo? =) let's go, girls!)
mar 22: mindoro week with family... ay holy week pala. this is gonna be fun!
mar tentative: meet with QA people to celebrate with the march celebrants... hmmm 1 million QAs are celebrating their birthdays on march hehe. plus may overnight pa raw... =) goody! =)
ayan dead tired na talga ako... ngayon pa lang and after all these =) but happy =)
muni moment
not that it was a bad thing. i actually enjoyed it - having thought things over. and over and over... hehe!
i thought that though honesty is ALWAYS the best policy, a little lack of it won't hurt... some things are better left unsaid. but the COMPLETE absence of it... could wreck someone. argh... it sucks when it ends that way.
when you are NOT asked about something, i guess if you don't say certain things, it's ok. you don't commit any crime. you're not asked anyway so you're not supposed to answer. but you give the onlookers the license to assume certain things. well, not that spectators judge you... it's just that they have the right to formulate certain sequences and scenarios in their minds.
but when you are asked about something, you're supposed to give a straight-forward answer and tell the truth. you're not supposed to completely oppose the actual scenario... and make people believe that it's the case. right? when an answer is required, and it could affect others, you don't have the right to twist the events so it would look pleasing and all flowery and fragrant... not it if could devastate the lives of others... =)
my thoughts and my principles... =) i have no idea why it crossed my mind. i started thinking about it last night pa. =) hehe

awit kay sto. niño
it was a friday mass and friday masses are always preceded by the novena to sto. niño. i was assigned as the lector for the mass 'cause i'm not really familiar in leading the novena. worse, i have no idea how the opening song goes. ok petiks muna maaga pa... pre-read the readings. clock ticks, uh oh, mukang no-show ang reader ng novena. panic mode... i CAN'T lead the novena! i DON'T want to sing! waaaah!
can't just walk out though. walang nagawa, i led the novena. ok opening prayer... no sweat. went fine.
uh oh... here comes the song... what to do? what to do? alangan mag-imbento ako ng tono!
winning line: "awitin po natin ang awit kay sto. niño..." (?) sabay mega tungo ng ulo... taimtim daw... hehe duh.
and the manangs were all like "awit kay sto. niño daw..." ay clueless sina lola! waaah! and more whispers... "pano ba yung awit kay sto. niño?" sikuhan sina lola... 30 seconds pa of the most uncomfortable silence i've heard... or was that over a minute?
and my life saver was an elderly woman who deciphered the tone of the song... yahoo! ok. kanta na ang sambayanang pilipino. hehe... dummy me! funny thing is, i still don't know how the song goes hehe. dummy-est! waaah! red hot ears!!!
ting! *bulb lights up 1000 watts
