the Life of tHe wicked princess

not juz any other ordinary day

2006-08-08T03:02:00.000-07:00

I've been on a night shift for one week, it's fun even though there's not much people in the office. Eventhough it took time to adjust my sleeping habits but nonetheless it's ok.

The reason why i'm on US Time is being in AVAGO Support. Our project goes Live and whenever there are urgent changes or issues with regards to the project we're the ones who would be contacted, so we're on standby on whatever progress it may have.

Night shift meant no breakfast, no lunch, only dinner and midnight snack..pretty helpful for losing some weight haha..not to mention i had (and still have) colds, instant weight loss haha..

Then, on the last day of my shift (saturday morning), i've encountered some weird guy..

SCENE 1
kharen naglalakad palabas ng building....
huminto sa tapat para mag-abang ng taxi..
guy: ey uwi ka na?
kharen: (raises both eyebrows then thinks kung kilala ko ba yung taong yun o nde...kung ofcm8 ko ba o nde?)
guy: ahh..san ka nga ulet nagwowork? familiar kasi face mo eh...
kharen: ???? (lost)

that's it..confirmed..nde ko nga siya kilala...

guy: cge, una na ako..yngatz
kharen: ????

sus, ok lng siya(?)..close taio ah...nde ko alam kung ofcm8 ko yun or what. how'd i wish na ofcm8 n lng na nde ko kilala rather than think of who else it might be thinking na familiar face daw ako..ganon n b karami kamuka ko or ganon lng ako nakakakalat within makati area? haha

another weird encounter::

SCENE 2:

kharen: naku naman manong..bket sa skyway taio dumaan eh dapat South SH n lng.
taxi driver: sorry miss, kala ko may daan dito eh. ako n lng magbabayad sa toll tutal kasalanan ko naman.
kharen: ok lng..pero sana nde n lng taio dumaan dito.

after a few minutes...

kharen: (pinunasan luha sa mata dahil sa sipon)
taxi driver: miss, baket ka umiiyak?.. huwag kang matakot. mabait naman po ako.
kharen: nde po ako umiiyak..may sipon po ako!

i swear nde ako tumawa non..pero deep inside tawang tawa ako sa reaction niya hahaha :)

Life's really full of surprises...

it's getting on my nerves

2006-07-18T20:30:00.000-07:00

It was a happy thursday(07062006) for me, i get to finish all my work in the office and treat myself to a good "Superman" movie w/ my dear guy.

Fresh from the movie house, i needed badly to withdraw from an ATM. First attempt, cancelled..maybe i tried a little too high amount so tried again. Second attempt..successful. Third attemps..successful...Fourth..cancelled again. Same goes to the other ATM machine beside mine. So i went to another machine in front of Tower Records in glorietta 3(if im not mistaken). The next thing I knew, insufficient balance na ako. I tried to print a copy of the balance inquiry and to my surprise..the same amount that i am withdrawing was debited on me already.

That made my day..i called the phonebanker through phone and made a report w/ regards to the incident. I had 3 or 4 reports already including the time i went to my bank branch and they kept on saying the same thing. That my money was dispensed. How stupid was that? Will i try to withdraw the same amount on another machine if I knew that my money was dispensed. And how can u explain to me that after my transaction has been cancelled, my money came out 5 minutes later..when i'm already not in the machine anymore.

It's really getting into my nerves, are they trying to convey to me that the machine dispensed my money and maybe somebody might have got the money when I left??? Could it have meant that i just gave away 5k literally. That money is not for buying a candy and it really makes me angry that all they can do was send f***ing reports and tell me that it's not under their discretion anymore since the money was dispensed. A one minute interval can mean lots of things.

Think about this:
9:43 - my money was dispensed
9:44 - another accnt number transacted on the same machine.

That account number would not admit that he/she had my money. Or worse somebody got there before the new accnt user made his transaction.

Where was I???? I could have been on my way to the other ATM machine which is 5 minute or so walk from the ATM machine that I w/drew my money from.

I had several transaction cancelled before and I was never debited. I never kept the transaction receipts since no money was dispensed. This time around it seems that even those trsansaction cancelled and insufficient balance receipts should be kept cuz you'll never know who would fool you the next time. The bank was a prominent already and I'm starting to dislike them and want to cut my account. Who would ever tell you that since the amount is dispensed we can't do anything about that. Talk about customer service????

Catching up

2006-07-06T23:37:00.000-07:00

Welcome me back!!!

I haven't logged to my blog for the longest time. That is because of my busy sked. I haven't got enough time to sit down and gather up all the fun memories i had.

Kindly visit my multiply account if u have time :)

I'll write again next time :)

holy week

2006-04-16T07:32:00.000-07:00

It's the time to reflect and rest. This week has been like any other typical holy week, I had more time for myself. Lately, i have been busy with work and i needed to detoxify..and the holy week is a good time to do that. Don't get me wrong i love my job but sometimes it can really take a lot of your time.

I just spent the holy week at home. That means more bonding with my famme and early saturday shopping with my mom. Being a home buddy also gave me the chance to watch more dvd's and more time to sleep. But my biggest achievement for this week is by reading "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown, I started reading it at 5 pm and ended the book by noon the next day. Ok, that may sound a bit crazy but hey i was looking for a perfect time to read a good book and unfortunately i had none due to daily "to do" stuffs.

I got to watch a documentary from GMA network and it made me reflect on the poverty that our country has, have and had. Thousands or even millions of people are suffering from sickness due to lack of food and nutrients because they cannot afford to. Sometimes, I can see this type of people and I just can't help but stare at them and wonder what the government's planning for them (or even so, what I could do). Admit it, some people doesn't deserve that kind of living. I pity those people who have pandesals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they are lucky enough to have "kanibaw" or kanin with sabaw. I wish our government has plans for them especially for those who work real hard and only earn a few pesos to bring in to their families.

Another documentary that made me wonder is an international documentary about the recycling of computers done in China. The computers are mostly from the U.S wherein it is exported to Asia. That typically means making Asia as its recycling/dump areas for computers that can no longer be used. The specific country being discussed is china, I saw the place from the tv and i was totally shocked that these people are actually working on detaching every computer part without any protective gear on them. Getting exposed to those types of materials can be harmful to them, thus they also make their river a dump site of those things that they don't need making the river unclean and not safe to drink nor use. Plus, to add up to the aggravating situation, smoke of burning plastics and wires that are emitted are harmful to every person working there. I've heard that some western countries helped in advertising the "no to exporting dumped PCs" . It's good to hear that cuz those people have the right to earn but not through exposing themselves to things that can harm their health and environment as well.

Ok, enough of my ramblings, I just missed writing out here. And to mah fab gurlfriends, sorry i wasn't able to come to our bora trip but i promise to never to that agen next year hehe :) seems like short notices doesn't work for me hehehe :) i'll see u gurls pretty soon :)

tata!

TO MEET SUCH A MAN

2006-03-20T18:56:00.000-08:00

A good read::

"I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day.

As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying a well-worn sign that read, "I will work for food." My heart sank.

I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him.. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief. We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had errands to do and quickly set out to accomplish them. I glanced toward the town square, looking somewhat halfheartedly for the strange visitor. I was fearful, knowing that seeing him again would call for some response. I drove through town and saw nothing of him. I made some purchases at a store and got back in my car.

Deep within me, the Spirit of God kept speaking to me: "Don't go back to the office until you've at least driven once more around the square."

Then, with some hesitancy, I headed back into town. As I turned the square's third corner, I saw him. He was standing on the steps of the store front church, going through his sack.

I stopped and looked, feeling both compelled to speak to him, yet wanting to drive on. The empty parking space on the corner seemed to be a sign from God: an invitation to park. I pulled in, got out and approached the town's newest visitor.

"Looking for the pastor?" I asked.

"Not really," he replied, "just resting."

"Have you eaten today?"

"Oh, I ate something early this morning."

"Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"Do you have some work I could do for you?"

"No work," I replied. "I commute here to work from the city, but I would like to take you to lunch."

"Sure," he replied with a smile.

As he began to gather his things, I asked some surface questions. Where you headed?"

"St. Louis "

"Where you from?"

"Oh, all over; mostly Florida "

"How long have you been walking?"

"Fourteen years," came the reply.

I knew I had met someone unusual. We sat across from each other in the same restaurant I had left earlier.. His face was weathered slightly beyond his 38 years. His eyes were dark, yet clear, and he spoke with an eloquence and articulation that was startling. He removed his jacket to reveal a bright red T-shirt that said, "Jesus is The Never Ending Story."

Then Daniel's story began to unfold. He had seen rough times early in life. He'd made some wrong choices and reaped the consequences. Fourteen years earlier, while backpacking across the country, he had stopped on the beach in Daytona. He tried to hire on with some men who were putting up a large tent and some equipment. A concert, he thought.

He was hired, but the tent would not house a concert but revival services, and in those services he saw life more clearly. He gave his life over to God

"Nothing's been the same since," he said, "I felt the Lord telling me to keep walking, and so I did, some 14 years now.""Ever think of stopping?" I asked."Oh, once in a while, when it seems to get the best of me. But God has given me this calling. I give out Bibles. That's what's in my sack. I work to buy food and Bibles, and I give them out when His Spirit leads."

I sat amazed. My homeless friend was not homeless. He was on a mission and lived this way by choice. The question burned inside for a moment and then I asked: "What's it like?"

"What?"

"To walk into a town carrying all your things on your back and to show your sign?"

"Oh, it was humiliating at first. People would stare and make comments. Once someone tossed a piece of half-eaten bread and made a gesture that certainly didn't make me feel welcome. But then it became humbling to realize that God was using me to touch lives and change people's concepts of other folks like me."

My concept was changing, too. We finished our dessert and gathered his things. Just outside the door, he paused. He turned to me and said, "Come Ye blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom I've prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me drink, a stranger and you took me in."

I felt as if we were on holy ground. "Could you use another Bible?" I asked.

He said he preferred a certain translation. It traveled well and was not too heavy. It was also his personal favorite. "I've read through it 14 times," he said.

"I'm not sure we've got one of those, but let's stop by our church and see." I was able to find my new friend a Bible that would do well, and he seemed very grateful"Where are you headed from here?" I asked."Well, I found this little map on the back of this amusement park coupon."

"Are you hoping to hire on there for awhile?"

"No, I just figure I should go there. I figure someone under that star right there needs a Bible, so that's where I'm going next."

He smiled, and the warmth of his spirit radiated the sincerity of his mission. I drove him back to the town square where we'd met two hours earlier, and as we drove, it started raining. We parked and unloaded his things.

"Would you sign my autograph book?" he asked. "I like to keep messages from folks I meet."

I wrote in his little book that his commitment to his calling had touched my life. I encouraged him to stay strong. And I left him with a verse of scripture from Jeremiah, "I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you; Plans to give you a future and a hope."

"Thanks, man," he said. "I know we just met and we're really just strangers, but I love you."

"I know," I said, "I love you, too." "The Lord is good!"

"Yes, He is."

"How long has it been since someone hugged you?" I asked.

"A long time," he replied

And so on the busy street corner in the drizzling rain, my new friend and I embraced, and I felt deep inside that I had been changed. He put his things on his back, smiled his winning smile, and said, "See you in the New Jerusalem."

"I'll be there!" was my reply.

He began his journey again. He headed away with his sign dangling from his bedroll and pack of Bibles. He stopped, turned, and said, "When you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?"

"You bet," I shouted back, "God bless."

"God bless." And that was the last I saw of him.

Late that evening as I left my office, the wind blew strong. The cold front had settled hard upon the town. I bundled up and hurried to my car. As I sat back and reached for the emergency brake, I saw them... a pair of well-worn brown work gloves neatly laid over the length of the handle. I picked them up and thought of my friend and wondered if his hands would stay warm that night without them.

Then I remembered his words: "If you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?"

Today his gloves lie on my desk in my office. They help me to see the world and its people in a new way, and they help me remember those two hours with my unique friend and to pray for his ministry. "See you in the New Jerusalem," he said. Yes, Daniel, I know I will..."

Touched? I am..
Think about it Prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost, but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another. God bless and have a nice day!

recovery mode

2006-02-08T21:31:00.000-08:00

Being sick is the worst feeling ever! That includes being bed ridden for days due to fever, lost appetite for even the yummiest food around, taking meds once in a while and feeling drowsy all the time (well, at least to lessen the aggravating feeling of being sick). I'm just glad that those 4 days were over and i'm into recovery mode. That doesn't include my 4 days money-back on my payslip :(

Now, that I'm finally into recovery mode, my appetite was back tho the redness of my legs has to wait for a little more. I wasn't able to go to my go-see just because of that..how bad was that? I've been listed to go to different go sees and until now i haven't got much into it due to work skeds or worst, i'm sick.

Last sunday was my 40th monthsary with dhanz :) my dear poti :) tho i'm really sick he still went to our place and gave me chocolates...even though i am sick i know i would be eating those white chocolates..STILL :) He can be a total sweetheart cuz he understands that i'm not feeling well and all he needs was me by his side and he's ok :)

Cash out, cash in....that's how January will end for me but nonetheless i had a blast for the start of the year.

I reunited with my hs barkada and this time we are all complete..(thank God), cuz its hard to put our skeds together due to work and school skeds. The night would be nice na sana if not one of the resto owners have taken away more or less 500 bucks of our bill. We were too busy taking our pictures when we paid the bill and left it on the table just outside the room we had. Only to find out that 3 or my friends won't be able to get their change cuz the owner said that we paid the exact amount w/c is definitely NOT true. I even wrote their changes at the back of the receipt so we won't be able to forget. And yet that happened..to think that the owner and the waitress are both girls...

Sometimes there are people who look nice, greet you and even noticed that ur having fun w/ ur friends and yet they try to do ill mannered things. We had our fault of giving the money ahead when nobody's looking and we didn't count it their faces. Now we learned our lesson and we will definitely have second thoughts of returning to the that place.

Sometimes, there are people who only thought of themselves...having a business means u must be responsible on handling customers. In a way "customers are always right" policy should also be somehow implemented and yet we walked out of the place unable to get the change and they didn't seem to do anything about it as if we were really the ones who had the fault. Goodluck to their business and i hope other people would be careful enough so as not to repeat the same incident.

But no matter how ruined or night is we had FUN and that's what we came for :)

===================================================================
I just recently bought my own digicam last year and i wasn't done paying w/ the bills yet and there i go again enrolling myself to a gym. You may think that i don't need one and i myself sometimes don't have a clue why. haha...

What made me join?
* Summer is coming up and hafta to prepare before hitting the beach
* Body jam sessions are fun
* Gotta try it and shred the extra pounds haha

A healthy start is a jumpstart for my new year :)

===================================================================
Work life balance :) Wouldn't be that nice so as to keep yourself relaxed after a stressful job. There can be times that I could be really stressed out trying to figure out the possible scenarios and formulate rules that would satisfy the map i'm doing. Recently, I got a taste of how to drain my brain haha...learning will always be a work in progress no doubt :)

I'm looking forward to a defect-free map and i need to prepare for it :)

===================================================================
Resto hopping and loads of pictures...that's me, jacatel, kim and den :) there will never be a moment w/out pictures and loads of places to go to.

We had a jumpstart at the promenade and ate a yummy dish at little asia and moved to jack's loft for a nice dessert and comfy place. To make it more exciting we even played truth or dare but nobody went for a dare..i guess we all wanted to be honest hahaha

We should be doin' that more often right?

====================================================================

"True Friends stay and nobody will say good bye"

Happy new year everyone!

2006-01-03T02:14:00.000-08:00

May you all have a wonderful and fruitful year ahead of you :)

...Yuletide season...

2005-12-19T17:49:00.000-08:00

The year 2005 is near to it's end and yet there are still a lot of gifts to buy. hehe....It's been a fruitful year for me but i'm hoping for more next year.

What i love about the good o'l december month is the nonstop parties and eating...As an early start we had our company xmas party at New World Hotel. I wasn't able to a eat a lot but nevertheless i ahd fun..We danced the night away and we had the chance to perform for the newbies part and for our department as well.

Somehow, this christmas doesn't seem to be THAT exciting compared to the other years...lesser houses have their decorations and even our street who yearly has decorations on it has non for this year. But somehow, at least the thought counts and even without gifts, christmas will always be christmas (tho i enjoy new year celebration more! ;))

Let's just hope for a brighter year ahead of us!

november to remember

2005-11-19T21:59:00.000-08:00

November has always been one of my favorite months. It started with a nice halloween party for kids at the office and it will end with another party for my birthday :)

I also learned a lot of things during this month. From AI tips and tricks, getting to enjoy my work and realizing that there are people that you somehow try to understand but doesn't want to be understood.

This month has been a progressive month for me and i'm looking forward to be more productive on the next succeeding months.

when you meet people this...

2005-11-19T10:42:00.000-08:00

"It's good when strangers become friends but it doesn't feel good when friends become strangers..."

I agree with this saying since I always wanted people who are friends to remain friends even if misunderstandings come their way...but i have to make one exception (one, and only just now!)

Sometimes there are people who come your way and later on becomes your friend. You get to know each others personality and you accept the person for who he/she is. I got to experience that, I met a lot of people who are really nice and fun to be with. They have different personalities, i'm glad i met a lot of good ones (actually lahat sila nice) except for one who i thought is nice.

It all started on one simple thing that later on became something to dislike for...

Think of the situation::
People start to notice and he denies, people start to ask and he denies, I tried to patch things up so that the friendship could still stay and so that the batch would still be intact agen but he said he needed space and for us to just treat him as an office mate and team mate na hindi nmin ka close without giving any exact time on when he'll be able to stop treating us differently. We tried to reach out to the person, text him, try to talk to him, say sorry and so on..and yet all failed. He looked at us as if were invinsible, you try to greet him and talk to him but your words just echoed in the air, you try to text him and he gives u answers that could diss you, Tries to keep the batch divided since he won't come with people who are w/ us.

All these things happen simply because walang nag text sa kanya na sa kabilang bldg pa rin kmi for training ( to think that RCBC and Standard Chartered Bldg was not a long walk) Nobody intended to not text him for if we all intended that we should have texted the other 3 persons (who never got mad at us) even if we haven't got the chance to text them too.

It's really hard to encounter people like that, who asks you for help at maps but when you try to give an answer he sticks with what he believes in, pag nde niya nagawa yung map niya agad maiinis and later on lahat kayo damay sa kasungitan niya, palaging nang aasar at malakas mang asar pero pag siya inasar mo pikon, kung mag react daig pa babae and simpleng bagay pinalalaki. how would you handle this person?

I tried to understand and accept the personality cuz thats him but i already gave up and it's really hard to deal w/ a person like him no matter how hard you try. He's really extraordinary.. I wonder how many people can last long w/ that kind of attitude. Could you?

As the month of October comes...

2005-10-13T17:42:00.000-07:00

It’s been almost a month since I wrote in my blog and I kinda missed writing my daily ramblings. As a short review, here’s a list of what I’ve been busy with for the past days.

Sept. 2
My gorgeous bestfriend celebrated her birthday at the Manila Pen. I went there after work, though I look sOo exhausted I’m still on a go for a par-tey! I met with kim first in Landmark then we met cathy in Manila pen’s lobby. Were’s just short of two persons since Jacq and Kristel (aww…I miss these girls) can’t make it due to some reasons. In a while we went up to the room where the party was being held. Kat and her twin sib tin was also there and some of den’s AC friends.
All the girls there were fun to be with, you can never have a dull moment with them especially with Karen (yes, we have the same name..she’s super doper fun to be w/ trust me) J Then a little commotion happened later when some unexpected visitors came but they didn’t last long thanks to Kat for that haha..
The night was pretty long but it was definitely not enough for all of us. I just hope that I’d get to hang around with those girls again one day.

Sept. 5
It was Roan’s bday and my 35th month w/ my guy. Things are just getting better and better..what’s more to ask for?

Sept. 10
The Mappers department went to a team building in La Corona, Pagsanjan. We spent 2 days there and I had soo much fun! We arrived there at 9:30 in the morning and we have to get ready for a short briefing by 10 am then we’ll start with the activities. We were all excited that you can’t seem to find any trace of tiredness in our faces. By the way, I’m on the Green Team!

1st activity:: BLIND MAN’S TRAIL
My partner in this activity was Junelle. All went well except for Jex that had a wound afterwards after falling into the last obstacle.

2nd activity:: TEAM WALL
I would say that this was the toughest obstacle that we had. We only had 16 members to play since Mam Sandz and Sir Ed wouldn’t be able to play so 2 members had to go up twice. We all looked dirty after this activity.

3rd activity:: SPIDER WEB
It would be pretty easy for thinner ones but a lower point will be for the bigger ones. But everyone tried this activity..hats off to green team.

4thactivity:: THE LOOP
It was pretty easy to look at but once you’re there already you’ll realize that it wasn’t. I got along with pretty well but after that I CAN feel my back ache. We also had our own monkey boy there too haha

5th activity:: LOW V
This activity will depend on how far you and you’re partner can go. Balancing was one main factor in this activity and communication counts too since you really can’t go a long with this one by doing it your way.

5th activity:: SLIDE FOR LIFE
I enjoyed this one..good thing that I’m the last one to try this out since everyone would be watching you hehe..it was raining already when I tried it but I don’t care, it was a once in a lifetime experience on getting to slide through a wire from 45 feet above J The adrenalin rush was there, it was fun.

We swam in the evening and we went to pagsanjan falls the next day. I give credit to our boat drivers since a one hour trip to pagsanjan falls by a boat wasn’t a joke. I know that they were really tired though we see their smiles and they were really kind to us :) We even had a photo session to the swing that was featured in “Tabing Ilog” before. Thanks to our bangka drivers.

It was indeed a fun weekend for us, though it brought me body aches but it was all worth it.

Sept. 12-14
Advance Speech Training – Though I know we all don’t need much of these training but we learned a lot from this one. Our batch had a great time during the training. Thanx to our trainer, the meriendas that we had and the laugh trips that made our training fun.

Sept. 19-22
We had our business correspondence training w/ Ms. Tina :) The same batch attended minus 3 from the previous batch. You may think that this was easy but you'll get confused even on the simpler things haha..It was fun like the previous training. Then on the last day of training we (the gurls) ate at Shakey’s to chill out.

Sept. 26
I attended my friend Abbie’s birthday. The place was nice and a large trampolin w/ her pic was on the entrance..too bad I can’t stay that long since I have work early the next day. But I hope it made her happy :) she’s like a princess that night.

Oct. 5
It was my 3rd year anniversary with no other than Dhanz :) He fetched me from the office and we had dinner. I just can’t help but smile that we lasted that long to think that we never really broke up and we never really had such a big fight. After all I think that it was all in a matter of communication w/ each other. We may be young but we also know how to weigh things out :) I’m proud of those years that we’ve been through :)

Oct. 7
I had my first ever bowling with my teammates. I was nervous at first since I really haven’t tried to play it but it went well though I haven’t acquired the so called “bowler’s position” yet but I’m looking forward to playing it again soon. I wasn’t the lowest pointer so not bad for a first time anymore right? hehe

Oct. 13
I watched 40 yr old virgin in glorietta with my officemates. It was an all through out laugh trip. The story was a so-so but nonetheless you’ll definitely laugh. They even had an assumption that one of our officemates looks like “Andy” hahaha
Sanzu was such a clown, you’ll know that when u meet her hahaha

gotta start writing again!

2005-09-27T08:51:00.000-07:00

I haven't visited mah own blog for quite a while and a LOT has to be written but until now I don't have the time to put everything into pieces.

I will update everyone as soon as i can but for now, I will start writing this week and I will really update ya'll. I miss writing here :)

FiRsT DaY @ work

2005-08-29T21:57:00.000-07:00

Today is the start of another chapter. New peeps to meet and new environment to adjust to. Good thing i met two of my batchmates at work already even before we start.

I met cecille during our medical exam while I met Karleen and Gene(we're not on the same department but we see each other @ work) at GXS na before we start our bank accts hehe. Then i met Carol (QA department), Edward and Frank today. Though we're only five at our batch, we clicked right away. We get to talk a lot and even felt like we are in a so called "Big Brother" house since we we're inside the conference room the whole day with only a camera to watch us by since we don't have much work to do though we have do read atleast 1 of our 5 modules that we're given to us.

It was fun tho we had a LOT of idle times but we definitely had the time to bond and get to know each other lolz..

The next days would be for our trainings and module readings. Welcome to the world of new syntax and new applications to work on to hehe :) We even have a presentation for the meeting on friday *shocked* hehe..hopefully it won't be the start of the worst hehe

Tomorrow will be another day for me at work, this time we'll enjoy our casual clothes since we only were corporate attires on mondays haha :)

tata!

it's great to be back :)

2005-08-28T15:20:00.000-07:00

I feel sOo good to be back in front of my PC agen. It's been weeks since i wrote my last entry here and within those weeks, a LOT has happened already :)

To start off I'll be officially starting to work tomorrow. I'd been into a strenous week for the completion of my requirements since I had to have my medical and other documents prepared before I start. After the i-ni-mi-ni-my-ni-mo, I finally decided to take the opportunity to accept the offer. It feels good after all cuz I'd get to use what I learned. (Elo programming books again!)

What's even funny is that I'm not that familiar with all those forms that i need because it would be my first time to work. Fortunately, i got my mom to help me through all those needed papers. And for driving me to the PC express when needed a new hard disk lolz

Due to the failure of my hard disk, I lost everything...good thing I got my important documents and pics saved on a CD before I could toatlly go gaga to collect them all again. Although some of my "masterpieces" from photoshop was also lost still, i'm glad i know i could still make a copy of it haha. And due to that hard disk, i got my JO 4 days late!

So from scratch, i re-installed everything (again!)

I have a list of birthday celebrants foe September that I wanna greet in advance::

Sept 1. - Denise Santos
Sept 3. - Rissa Tan
Sept. 5 - Roan Ferrer
Sept. 9 - Kim Gainza
Sept. 25 - Ice Mendoza & Abbie Delarama

Happy bday to ye all in advance!!! :) Miss yah all *mwah*

Hay, i'm running out of words to say but i'll be writing more often cuz my PC is back into action hehe :) I'd be starting to work w/ a new alyout soon. Hopefully i could finish it on time :)

Tata!
xoxo

my PC crashed and I hate it!!!

2005-08-19T17:54:00.000-07:00

It's been a week already that I haven't used my PC. That was like hell to me...I'm in front of the PC most of the time and a week of not using it has given me too much headache. I have a lot of work to do but I can't start it yet due to I'm also busy finishing all my pre employment requirements.

Eventhough I wanted to fix my PC time won't allow me for making me so damn busy but hopefuly nect week I would get all things done and finally start using my PC agen. For now, keep me updated w/ your stories and comments :)

For now that would be all but I'l try my best to keep you updated :)

34 months and still counting...

2005-08-05T17:00:00.000-07:00

Another month was added to the logical box of things that are greatly appreciated. Another month that would test the strong relationship bond between my guy and me. We didn't really celebrated but the thought of greeting each other and counting of numerous things that we've been together gives me a happy feeling. An achievement somehow since not most couples stays that long especially w/ younger peeps.

Just thinking of 2 months more left before we officially become 3 years together makes me say "WOW", has it been really that long? If I would go back to 2002, I would never think of 2 yrs and 10 months because it may seem soo long. But we’ve surpassed it and to think that we never really broke up.

We had our share of bad times, jealousy, no to these and no to that, and even some petty fights but we try to manage things in time. We don’t really get to involve other people with our problems unless it is that huge. I think it's better that way so that you'll have lesser complications afterwards. Friends are indeed of great help when in times of sudden emotional breakdowns or when you can't think of lucid solutions to the problem.

You may think that are we for good already or not?

We can never really tell of what could happen next but once you are in my shoes, I guess you will also choose to take care of the relationship too. I may or may not end up with him but as long as the love is there just feel the current situation.

It is a wonderful feeling to know that somebody is out there loving and caring for you. Somehow, when you get too comfortable with the person and you get to spend most of the time with that certain person. You would somehow get to feel that you miss that person when you're not together whether you admit or not. That person has been a part of your life and I'm just glad that I had my own special guy that adds something more special to my wonderful life.

"Love is not a one way ticket
It works in both ways
You get to have a share of give and take"

* A week full of things to do *

2005-08-04T22:00:00.000-07:00

This past week had been a very stressful week for me. I haven't really stayed much at home due to series of interviews (yes, still) and a test. I am still on the decision-making mode wherein I choose if I would pursue the given position or not since sometimes I was given positions that was not in line with my degree.

And even that I am not in school anymore; I still have to undergo self-study for those programming languages that I haven't learned in school and yet is a necessity for me to know since a lot of companies use it. (Yes, that includes those dreadful programming languages that consume most of your logical and mathematical abilities).

Sometimes it makes me stop and think for a while on how companies really choose their employees.

It is easier for those who have the connection to the influential people in the company than those who strive their way to get the position armed w/ only the skills and knowledge?
Do they really try to analyze the applicant through the interview?
What are the purposes of 4 interviews before really getting into the final one when you can have at least 2?

Sometimes questions in the interviews can be really tricky. You can encounter crazy questions that somehow have a psychological meaning to them. But what matters most is how well you present yourself and how confident you are with your self. It is sometimes fun to go to interviews because you can learn a lot ;)

Aside from the busy week, I also got the chance to chill out and be with my fab friends ;) I went to the bench fix to have my hair trimmed w/ Kim and Rizza. 2 inches was lost and yet it doesn't seem like I had any haircut done. I can't really change much of the hairstyle since I got to look the same as long as I'm in contract with my mod agency. Then we went to the event in Greenbelt but we arrived late so there's nothing much to see anymore. We went to GB3 to have dinner afterwards :) Den and the JaCaTel sisters were there to join the fun too :) Here's our pic at the Haiku resto where I enjoyed eating California maki!

After the yummy dinner, we get to shop for earrings. I love the 5 pairs that I got and I'm still looking forward to having more earrings to collect :) (That thought made me wanna go to Bangkok badly to shop!) plus we had girl bondings once again. Too bad I had to go home early since I'm a bit sleepy already and I got plans for the next day pa. But I'm looking forward to our next girl bonding soon! :)

I know I haven't really blogged much due to a lot of things and I will still be busy from more self-study lessons but I’m gonna try to write once in a while for updates.

tata!

a job and a business

2005-07-20T15:45:00.000-07:00

I am looking forward to do both. I've always wanted to venture into a business but time can only tell when and where. Hopefully, I can pursue both this year :) *excited*

I haven't done much the last few weeks, tho I have been busy with doing errands and cleaning out my clutter. I have plans ahead of me for this weekend as well as for next week. Busy eh? Not really, I still have the the urge to do more :)

Lately, I haven't got time either to pamper myself. Good thing I can have my facial tomorrow. I hated these past few weeks for giving me the zits that seem to stay like forever. Was it a karma for teasing my sister too much? Hehe

Anyway, It's been raining these past few days and I kinda enjoy it simply because I was just home everytime it pours but I hate it wen I do go out haha...Just like everybody else I have the same outlook in life hihi :)

Recently, I got the chance to talk to my closest friend (Raquel) :) She's been away from me for more than a year now. She migrated to Hawaii last May 2004 and since she has been my constant companion, I missed our trippings. Even our little trip to North Edsa (since both our bf were from QC and were both from down south). My shopping buddy, assignment buddy, gimik buddy...that's why wen she moved away we missed her terribly. But she remained to be that sweet, thoughtful young lady we always knew. I'm just glad that she would be able to visit here next year. We have a lot of catching up to do :)

Quel, thanks for bein' always there for me :) Keep me posted..m just a text, phone call or email away :) *mwah*

:: does quizzes really reflect who u r? ::

2005-07-11T21:00:00.000-07:00

don't get me wrong but i still enjoy answering online quizzes just to see what it lies behind it and if it somehow reflects my personality. It was all for fun unless it's some quiz for a subject that i need to pass hehe :)

as a sample i took a couple of quizzes to see if the results will be the same or will it contradict each other.

Your Beauty lies
in Innocence. Pure, sweet and child-like. You most
likely look far younger than
you are and your smile would brighten up anyone's
day. Seen as naive and
sheltered, you can be ignorant at times, but for
the most part, it's simply your
reputation preceding you. You are most likely
rather aware of the realities of
life. You are extremely good natured and
trustworthy. By the same token, you are
a bit too trusting. Be careful, few are as honest
and open as you. You might
seem girlish still with a love of dresses, ponies,
and things most might deem
you "too old for". But this doesn't
bother you. You enjoy your youth and are
going to make it last. After all you are only as
old as you feel.

Some Things
That Represent You:

Element:
Light, Wind Animal: Kitten Color:
White, Pink, Pastels Song:
Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
Expression: Innocent Smile

Gemstone:
Diamond Mythological Creature: Unicorn
Planet:
Moon Hair Color: White Eye Color:
Silver

Quote: "A
stranger is just a friend you haven't met
yet."

ok, i will try to see if that makes me "ME". Your Beauty lies in Innocence. Pure, sweet and child-like. (hmm...i've heard abt sweet and childlike, m a kid at heart) You most likely look far younger than you are and your smile would brighten up anyone's day. (Some says that I do look younger than my age, that's a compliment isn't it? and I also believe that it is a person's smile that brightens up anyone :)) Seen as naive and sheltered, you can be ignorant at times, but for the most part, it's simply your reputation preceding you.(true) You are most likely rather aware of the realities of life. (correct) You are extremely good natured and trustworthy. By the same token, you area bit too trusting. Be careful, few are as honest and open as you. You might seem girlish still with a love of dresses, ponies, and things most might deemyou "too old for". (I wasn't too old for anything hehe)But this doesn't bother you. You enjoy your youth and are going to make it last. After all you are only as old as you feel

That quiz was fun and it gave nice interpretation :) Though I was never really a cat lover. And the unicorn thing reminds me of the Unicorn Club in Sweet Valley books. Have u read those too? hehe...

Here's some of the random tests that i took::

(1) What's your personality?
You're a very mellow, care-free person. Your exactly what calm, cool, and collected mean. You never overreact or panic in a bad situation and you always know what to do. Everyone goes to you for advice because you never lose your head so your very reliable. You tend to take everything in stride, like in school your motto is just sit back and relax not to say you dont pay attention and work, but you dont overexert yourself. Even though people come to you for counciling(sp?) you can still be very quite, your not good with making new friends, but your extremely close to the ones you have. Remember its ok to put your emotions out there even though there is a chance they might get hurt. Also in school sometimes its good to stress out a little, just because you think you dont need to study doesnt mean you should'nt, and also try to push yourself more even though you might be good where you are doesnt mean you can't be better.
(2) Which spirit of stunning emotion r u?
You are the Spirit of Hope. Whenever someone is feeling down, they merely have to think of you to make them happy again. You have the ability to simply radiate happiness. You can make friends quickly because your strong point is your amazingly friendly nature which naturally people want to be with. You think about the best in everything, a total optimist, you won't have any trouble getting a worthy person to share your life with!
(3) What is your true element?
Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said being young was a bad thing? You have a keen understanding of whats good in life and choose to remain happy rather than get too upset over things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love as you are you will make a wonderful parent if and when you choose to grow up. Love is a mystery because you only want friends not love interests, games are better than relationships with the opposite sex. You have what everyone is searching for, that so called 'fountain of youth' deep inside. You can come across as naive and childish at times. But who cares what they think, lets go play tag!
(4) What lies behind your eyes?
In your eyes, people see brightness in everything.... and I mean... EVERYTHING! You're so optimistic and think of everything as just a new adverture! You're very energetic, happy, fun, and loving. Everyone seems to want to be just like you because you're a great example of people who live life to its fullest! You don't really have a sanctuary... That is... Besides the whole world >.<>
(5) What type of angel will you be?
A beautiful angel. God would hand pick you to be his right hand angel. You are a blessing beyond blessings. You are kind and helpful towards everyone and everything. You also have a smile to lighten up the world. You believe everything deserves a chance to thrive and live on to greatness. To you, everything has a purpose and a way of living and you hold no grudge against it.
(6) Which goegeous goddess r u?
The Goddess of Fire and Happiness. You are a ball of energy. Always compassionate and full of life, you can make anyone feel happy and you are exceptionally uplifting. You are an individual beauty.
(7) What type of teenager r u?
Your label is the Nice girl/guy. You tend to care for others over yourself. However, many people appreciate your caring side and would rather stick by you than hurt you. But, there is a downside. Some tend to abuse your kindness and take advantage of you. You always try to see the good in everyone and try not to hate. Also, you have sharp insight and a great personality. Calm, serene, and understanding, you make a worthy friend and a valuble ally to people in need. Don't change your sweet nature, your constant being-there can save a life. I suggest your go into a field that centers around working with others such as a doctor, baby-sitter, psychologist, lifeguard, or Teacher. If none of these occupations interest you, it is okay then. I am sure that there are plenty of oppertunities out there for you.
(8)How do u see life?
Life is good and bad. You know it can never be perfect and that it never have been, and you're fine with that. You still feel it's important to live life since it can end any day and not sulk because of some little failure in life. You are often a happy person, still you don't laugh all the time. You have a somewhat calm aura and most people feel comfortable around you.

Do u find any similarities w/ those quizzes? hihi :)

tata!

:: Good ole shopping ::

2005-07-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

Shopping had always been my vice. But I can't help my stare at these eyeing these goodies. The moment I saw them I just wanted to buy them. (how I wish I could? Err)...

watcha think? :)

<< Got my new Layout >>

2005-07-10T18:40:00.000-07:00

Yipee!! I finally finished my new layout. The layout remained simple since I didn't have much time to gather up my thoughts on what design I should put. Not bad for the first attempt to make my own layout right? :)

The only thing that came to my mind was to put everything in order and for my visitors to see what's in my blog the moment it loads to their screens. You will see my template change next time when I thought of making another design. Hehehe :)

Hope this layout was easier to navigate and kindly leave me comments if the fonts used for the navigation and the ones on the right side doesn't function properly cuz I used a different font. Thanks :)

:: a celebration ::

2005-07-04T16:20:00.000-07:00

Relationship as defined in the Encarta Dictionary is the connection between two or more people or groups and their involvement with each other, especially as regards how they behave and feel toward each other and communicate or cooperate.

It is that mutual feeling towards each other that makes a relationship work. I agree that it is not at all pure happiness for within that relationship you get to experience how to be hurt and sacrifice things you never thought you would but you did. But with every obstacle that comes, you learn a thing and moves on.

Tomorrow would be another special day for me as we (Dhanz and I) get to celebrate our 33rd month together as a couple. It may sound odd that we still do celebrate every 5th of the month but we just get to greet each other and reminisce all the things that we’ve been through in those 33 months.

It is rare to actually see a bf - gf relationship to actually last that long unless you were very sure that that person would be the "Real Deal", the person that you someday wish to marry. Have you ever encountered those make believes that someday you'll wear the gown you've always dreamed of for your wedding, the number of children you wanted to have, the kind of house you'll live at etc.?

Hehehe...I was young and maybe not that serious at all when it comes to talking about those future plans but hey I sometimes get silly too and actually imagined what I would be in those days.

It was too early for me to actually think of church bells or whatever things that would come along after marriage. For me, I'm just happy that I have someone special in my life that I know would be my shining armor in every path I travel. I wanted to explore more of what's ahead and I love being young. There are a lot of things that I still wanted to do and I'm contented to know that I'd be able to achieve that w/ dhanz by my side :) Let's just hope that if that day comes he is still the man beside me :)

::Random Thoughts::

2005-07-04T16:10:00.000-07:00

Now playing:: Gloriagate CD

Every time I switch the tv on it's always been about this very controversial CD. I've seen the President admit that it was indeed her voice that was on the tape. Nice move huh? It was even admitted earlier by Bunye, which later on became the tripod for his credibility to actually tell something and hold it back the next day. Hay..politics had always been a circus. From the day our President admitted her mistake till the press con held for Ms. Susan Roces, everything seems to be going bananas.

But the interview that I really hated was that one incident from former Sen. Legarda's interview after she deposited 4 Million for the recount of her votes. She somehow underestimated the VP and even told everyone on national television that she wouldn't allow someone who has a dubious mandate to actually take the position of the President.

How mean was that?

I thought everything was ok with both VP candidates after the elections and yet things like this still comes out.

What do you think of such behavior?

I know our VP might not look as smart as she is but he is doing his job right? And for someone to underestimate a person is a huge slap for a person who's doing his responsibility as well. Let's just hope that our country will still be able to surpass every obstacles especially now that the nerve wrecking VAT was already implemented and every price tag seems to compete with skyscrapers.

:: still no updates? ::

2005-07-02T22:00:00.000-07:00

ok, blame it on me that I haven't got much of my time to actually sit down in front of mah pc and gather all my thoughts. A lot has happened already, and I guess was too busy and all to actually put it into words.

I will update u guys as soon as I get to gather my adventures and to finally change my layout soon :)

I'm currently working on my own layout...errr...time to make those photoshop ideas work :)

<<< Reminiscin' HS >>>

2005-06-24T22:01:00.000-07:00

Recently we had a little get together in Khey's place for the celebration of her graduation. What's even special is that it is the 19th of the month. Eventhough we were not complete, still it is nice to get to see them again :)

Friends from HS are truly one of the best you can ever have. The bond is really different compared to college friends. You have been classmates for 4 years…same subjects, same teachers and same events in school to attend to. It was indeed during those four years that I have met my true blue gal pals whom I shared most of my time with.

I can still remember our tambayans a.k.a TERRITORY

>>Canteen - for lunch or even merienda's together along with chit chats (how'd we wish it was as big as the canteen right now he he)
>>Lobby near music room – where we have our forums together to discuss problems w/ each other
>>Classroom - for story telling of horror escapades
>>Quadrangle - for our patintero, photo ops as well as other childish games :)
>>Houses - yes, even our own respective homes were considered tambayans

To add to the list of our tambayans, we also have our own journal wherein we get to greet or write whatever to our barkada. This one is exclusive for us only a.k.a the burn book in mean girls :)

We have been through a lot and reminiscing those times makes us laugh and smile esp. those that we find very childish to do.

The petty fights as well as the happy memoirs will always be kept as a huge part of our lives.

We originally had the barkada w/ 13 members in all. But when we left HS we were left with 8 strong members that was originally a part of the barkada ever since. Though even the others left we are all still good friends :)

B >> Badette Peñano
S>> Steph Schuck
T>> Tina Balderama
B>> Bing Lumawig
R>> Roan Ferrer
K>> Khey Pinga
A>> Anna Arispe
D>> Dove Corpus
A>> Aissa Mendoza
G>> Gretchen Equibal
A>> Almira Diola
L>> Lynne Atkins
S>> Sis Dizon

Those were just our nicknames though the one used in the barkada’s wasn’t the one I’m really using since we needed a vowel we just used my first name hehe :)

Though we have our own paths to follow already we still got the chance to meet and celebrate every 19th of the month. Though we are only 8 who’s more on the celebrating side, we will still remember those who have left and yet they are still a part of us after all we are all still friends :)

My BattleField called Life

2005-06-11T23:20:00.000-07:00

A week has passed once again and I've learned more new things every time I step out of my way to face the battlefield called "Life".

>> I was having a series of tests and interviews I got two companies for this week (and I passed in both) and another two companies for next week. Whoa!

>> A job wasn't always easy to get, it is perfectly ok to start to the lowest position then you can work your way towards the position you really dreamed of.

>> It is not easy to get fresh grads the intermediate position since they require experience though you can always start at the entry level and training programs that will later on lead you to the job you are aiming.

>> After all, when you work doesn't mean you'll stop learning and studying because you will still.

>> Job tests are always time pressured so give time to yourself to relax so that you'll ace the exam.

>> On job interviews, review the position and research about the company you are applying into to ace the interview.

>> And last but definitely not the least, I miss going to school just having more time to hang out and get more good grades in class.

There are a lot of opportunities outside waiting. It is by the choice we make that would lead us to the next. Decide on what you really wanted and work your way on it.

Me being a spoiled brat and all can also actually learn things the hard way, that not all things are for free and it feels good to earn something from your achievement. I feel I’m more of who I wanted to be. Not a girl but also not yet a woman or should I say almost a woman.

Still glued on Meteor Garden

2005-06-03T23:37:00.000-07:00

It's only been a week since i last posted but it seems to be like a year had passed. I've been busy lately and I don't have much time to keep track of whats happening around me within that one week.

And yes, amidst the busy sked I still manage to keep my 7-8 pm craving to watch MG. I know I have watched it before and know the whole story and all but I still watch it. As far as I could remember, when MG was aired 2 years ago, I would always go home early from school just to be able to catch the 5:30 pm timeslot. :)

Another thing that keeps me glued on that show was Ken Zhu. Before I used to have crushed on Jerry Yan and Ken Zhu. hehe...I wasn't much of the 'die-hard' fan so I just keep it cool.

On the contrary, I've been busy due to series of interviews and tests. In this state of economy I needed a job, no more allowances for me (grr..), but looking on the bright side...I'm learning a new lesson everyday.

I took a quiz on which mean girl would I be and here's the result::

Hmm..once a mean girl always a mean girl? Does that happen to every girl? hihi...

It's June once again and time to get busy for a lot of students. Time for me to start working and expand my horizons. Have a nice school start everyone :)

Tata!

some EK adventure pics

2005-05-25T13:31:00.000-07:00

here's some of our EK pix...that's a pic of my hubby dhanz and kat :) She's fun to be with and her bf's really nice too :) If u wanna see some more of the pix u can visit mah gorgeous best friend denise.

guilty or not guilty?

2005-05-22T22:00:00.000-07:00

I am really pigging out these past few days..who can blame me? my mom cooks really well, and i get to eat a lot, tho some my say i didn't gain weight while some says i did...the point is I myself got a feeling I did.

Ok, lets talk about an inch added to my waistline, a little on my weight, one, two or even three pimples bugging me but still I don't feel happy about it. I didn't have the feeling that i'm fat at all because ever since I wasn't at all, tho now i consider myself still not fat, i need to trim down a little and get into the shape that i really want. Especially now, that my mod agency was trying to market me out and i have to be on top condition anytime for they can call anytime.

I made a resolution to solve it and i'm looking forward to meeting that goal :) Call it vain, or whatever but i still do care about those little inches that could later on turn into a disaster. I won't go into a crash diet..I would still eat once in a while but this time I would be more careful of what i eat (help me with that..since i Love to eat..haha)..

But, tho a person can be concious of how they look, it is still (inner beauty + a lil of the outside beauty) that makes u stand out. Good looks won't be complimented enough without the good attitude to match it up. :)

tata!

who ever thought i would?

2005-05-19T10:31:00.000-07:00

Ever since I was a kid, I've been fond of the cameras tho the camera was never fond of me haha. You would often see me having solo pictures as my mom keeps on insisting us to pose complete with different clothes on eventhough we we're just at home. Blame it on my mom for having my pictures dressed as a princess beside a christmas tree with no occasion at all.

Last Tuesday I got this call from my agency asking if I'm free for the next day. I didn't know what it was all about until she told me to get ready for a go-see the next day at 2 pm. I don't know what company it is but still I gave it a shot. For experience na rin.

I left our house at 1 pm so i could make it at 2 pm. My mom was supposed to drive me to the venue but she got a bit late so I just rode along woth my uncle who's also on his way to makati. But before I could arrive to the venue I had to wait for a couple of minutes in Starbucks to wait for my uncle's friend. So, yo make the long story short, I arrived at the place late as usual. I was nervous at the same time I kept help thinking on what to say since I'm late.

Surprisingly, only 4 girls were there, I dunno who to ask and who to talk to since I don't have any familiar faces to look at. I just looked for he person that was given to me by my agency. And waited for my turn, good thing it hasn't started yet.

To my surprise, It was Cream Silk *whoa*. I can't believe I actually went there, and the big bosses wer around. I got a few interview, smile, a spiell to memorize, and a couple to yaa-daa things to say to complete the vtr.

As I finished, I can't help but *sigh*.

It was indeed one long day, but another thing to add up to my daily adventures, not bad for a first time right?

tata *mwah*

mom's day + a birthday

2005-05-08T09:06:00.000-07:00

Happy mom's day to all the moms. :) Specially to my mom and to my one and only grandma that I miss most. Today's one special occasion that should make any mom proud of themselves and get to relax from all the stress. :)

I thank my mom for being with me all through out my 20 years of existence here on earth. For being there through ups and downs and on whether or not I needed her opinion hehe. Being the best cook that I know, the greatest bargain hunter, & kikay rolled into one. And for my grandma who’s everything to me, happy mom’s day!

Happy mom’s day!!!

Happy birthday to Gretch too…Miss yah girl !!!

*mwah*

The BIG Day

2005-05-07T18:00:00.000-07:00

May 7…also known as Graduation Day. I only had at least 3 hours of sleep or less, woke up at around 4 am, took a bath, and had my hair and make up done at 5 am. Just in time to finish all up at 6 am. What a way to start a day...

We went to PICC at around 6:30 am with my mom, brother and Dajo. As usual Bazet and I were fashionably late. We even get to see each other on Macapagal Hi-way in our own respective cars haha. We arrived at PICC together, get to fix each other while my mom got inside already. We went in together when all of a sudden Bazet's index card got lost so we looked for it and tried to make a replacement for it. Good thing we had an index card just in time. We lined up for the march, we both know that it was supposedly alphabetically arranged but being pasaway as we are we didn’t follow that do that we could sit near each other hehe..she was just 2 seats away from me. But still, Ann is nowhere in sight. :(

It was a quite long ceremony but we get to laugh and reminisce the 4 years of college life. As we sit there waiting for our turns. Pictures was taken every now and then but more of it after the ceremony. Bazet and I were really such camwhores.

After the grad, my fam and I went out to eat and grab a huge mouthful of food. Were really hungry after the ceremony. Then we finally headed home and after freshing up, I finally doze off to sleep and recharge from all those hours that I lack sleep. But of course my day wouldn’t be complete without the word “CONGRATULATIONS” from my one and only hubby dhanz :)

It was a long, tiring day for me but worth it!

EK adventure

2005-05-06T23:59:00.000-07:00

It was indeed a sunny morning and a good day's ahead of me. I feel the sudden excitement, for after 2 long years I'd be able to set foot again to Enchanted. Since I went there on New Year's eve, I didn't went back again due to the not so good experience at all (think of just 2 rides for the whole day?!) I never wanted that to happen again, good thing we had the perfect time to enjoy all the rides.

But before the fun, I went to school first to get my tickets for our graduation the next day. So I got to school at around 10:30 am (I know! 30 min. late from the given time), but I wasn't so late after all since they moved the assembly at 1 pm. The bad news is I can’t make it on that time since we have to leave at 1:30 for Laguna. As I arrived, all the students were scattered in every corner of the building, you can see the dismay in all their faces, after all I understand them since I myself was a bit pissed with the schedule. Even some students were not yet confirmed as graduates? How bad could that get?!…But the good thing is I asked our dean if somebody could just get the tickets for us and he agrees, so with my good, fab friends around..I know I’ll be saved from the time trouble. Good thing they got my back. Oh, I so love them!

Then off to Glorietta to get my nails and eyebrow done for tomorrow's big day and to wait for my friends to fetch me up at G4. After 10 years, they did arrive haha ;) we had a lil' long trip and get to sleep for a while in the car, for some it would mean watching Cinderella story on DVD. As we get to Laguna, it rained, we were jus happy that it didn't last long. It was like a mere blessing for us hehe. We even got a little lost since we took a right turn from the toll gate instead of making a left turn. That made our “LIGAW MOMENTS” in Laguna.

We met in the parking area of EK. (dhanz and his friend, JaCaTeL, Belinda, The so called F4 friends, Kat and Dre, Denise, Cent, Ash, and I) J And off we go to start our long day full of fun ;)

We had a LOT of FUN, more rides that before, more WET rides and WACKY pictures. It was indeed one FUN day!!! We even get to dry ourselves through UP, UP & AWAY, Ferris Wheel, Space Shuttle and even the Anchor’s Away that left screams on our ears.

All messed up from all the rides we had but nothing can stop us. After EK, we went to tagaytay to have dinner (yes, dinner at 12 am haha), then afterwards I headed home since I have a 7 am graduation to attend to. Haggard as I was, but I indeed had a great time!

More out of town adventures to come!

!!!happy monthsary!!!

2005-05-05T20:24:00.000-07:00

we made it agen! Yipee! another month to add up to our wonderful 2 1/2 years together. who could have thought that we'll last this long and actually celebrate our 31st month together? Either us don't know the answer either but we're glad we had come this far :)

I've received a series of text telling me how lucky this day is, since its 05-05-05, and that something happy should happen today. My first thought:: my monthsary. It is enough to make the day special :)

M just glad we both got each other's back everytime one feels like giving up, someone i treasure and get to hold on to through thick and then, a bestfriend, a boyfriend, my confidente :) m so glad i got him on my side and I know he is as grateful as well :)

More months to celebrate and years to count to :)

I love you hon! :)

baccalaureate mass

2005-05-04T20:15:00.000-07:00

Three days to go and i'm officially off from college life. This day makes me count and think of what to do next and what to do after the grad.

For days i have thought of whether i would have my hair and make up done by a pro for this day or not. After all, this day is still special (tho not much as grad), i still need to prepare a lil bit for it. And so, i ended up doing my hair and make up all by myself since i know how i would want to look like and to get myself a bit of surprise, I chose to had my pro help on sat :)

I did my thing (hair & make up), wore a cute pink dress and accezz, spray on a perfume, then finally went to the car and drove our way to the church. I left 30 min before the call time in the church. It was quite near and good thing there is no traffic so I made it on time.

When I arrived, I met with my friends (ann & bazet), get to greet a couple of co graduates, and smile on cams :) I let mah mom sit in front and while I waited outside with my co-graduates to start the march :)

And man, mah feet hurts already while standing and to add up the heat that keeps on pestering us on the place. But the good thing is its windy outside since there's a lot of open space in the place :) Then off we march :)

When we got in, I saw mah fellow officers sitting on the other side of the church, that really made me wonder cuz they told me to line up w/ mah fellow grads and there they were sitted together with the other officers. But for me it's alright since I get to sit w/ mah buds :)

I juz stood up before the Penitential Rites to get to the other side and get ready for the offeratory :) I get to be assigned on the fruits together with Jacq (secretary of the Grad Class) :)

After the mass, we had our hooding ceremony and candle ceremony. I even got a hug from my mom as she put the hood on me :) After the ceremony, we sang "journeY" I really love that song, good thing it was our grad song :) We didn't want to cry cuz we want to reserve the tears for saturday hehe and we'll still see each other pa nmn kc so we juz decided to take pictures of each other instead :)

Then we decided to split up and see each other on Saturday :) hope that everything turns out well on saturday :) Goodluck to the 7 am call time hehe :)

Graduation ceremony, here we come!

tHe Fab GurLs OuT tO haVe FuN

2005-04-30T11:32:00.000-07:00

The gorgeous, fab gurLs are out once agen and from a series of random things to do we end up making one fun day agen :)

we all met in kitarO in gaLLe, get to eat some food and get my orders & choose from silver earrings, Then stroll around.

It's also one of our pamper days as we get to have a manicure and pedicure. I'll post the pix wen i got them, even I myself felt sleepy while my foot was being massaged :) The place keeps you comfy and relaxed at the same time :) I sit beside rizza while JaCaTel and den sit on the other side :) we took pictures in between our pampering sessions :) hihi

After our pamper sessions, we decided to take dinner at some chinese resto in The Fort. Get to chat a lil bit more and finally decided to go to Malate for some KTV (which happens to be owned by one of Jacq's friend).

It is one hell of a long day but we had a lot of fun and we're looking forward to another one next week :)

Some gurlz juz wanna have fun! :)

grad pic pictorial today

2005-04-21T23:30:00.000-07:00

i got my grad pic taken today. i was up late (as usual) but still got the chance to be in the early sked of the pictorial. Finally, after months of waiting, i got the chance to have my photo taken. (due to being an officer:: we are allowed to take our pix last) tho the good thing is that we get to have a discount which saves us more money :) although, at first i felt uncomfortable since the make up that was used on my eye get to be a lil itchy. but it turned ok nmn.

the photographer took my pics in a matter of nanoseconds. he got a lot of shots of me even if i wasn't much prepared unlike the others who can take time to pose. i got to smile and *click* *click* *click* whoa, wanna pause for a while tho hehe :) but, oh well hope it turns out to be good :) m lookin' forward to having my pic

i even stayed at the graduating class booth in OSA, and stayed for at least 4 hrs. so wen the time that i have to finally get home, i went home straight and tired. it was a long day for me but i'm keeping my fingers cressed that one day i'd wake up and dress up then go hit the beach. :) no more worries on being a treasurer, juz more days of rest and then time to straighten up and work like a pro in the corporate world :)

it was now that i realized that no matter what you do as long as your confident in doin' it, everything will turn out to be fine. well, at least for ur benefit and not for the worse :)

tata! *mwah*

r E d b O x

2005-04-10T02:20:00.000-07:00

i had been a summer bum lately (at least that's what i feel), tho i've been busy and all, it is just now that i've realized that i always hit the sack late haha...thanx for the "Full House" vcd marathons that keep me awake till wee hours at the morning. hehe :) call it funny but hey i liked it haha :)

i've been very busy last friday, if i can name myself that daw, the perfect word would be "::haggard::", i had to entertain a lot of students who are paying for their grad fees. as a treasurer i am capable of collecting those, i was in school till around 6 (which i usually go at around 4), i haven't eaten my merienda tho i bought one on the way home ;) but still i had the time to actually watch a marathon of vcd's till 2 am haha :)

tho i know i had to be awake early by sat. still being addicted as i was to watching, i had to sacrifice. haha...so i went to mah derma early in the morning and planned to continue half of the session after my afternoon gimik with my girlfriends. so i went to greenhills to meet mah friend den :) we went to cathy's place together :)

finally, i got new lipglosses to add to mah collection haha :) after a bit of shopping and meeting mah new profound friends (Rissa and Cent), we went to glorietta to have our lunch since den and I were both hungry :) then went to stroll and finally came up with a bright idea to go to greenbelt (redbox) ro sing our hearts out :)

the next thing i know, from having a bit quiet nature we all sang as if we met along time ago and just wanted to come out to the open to voice out what we feel haha :) i had a blast in redbox, the singing and dancing part were all part of the fun. we all agreed to do it agen next time :) i really had so much fun that i would like to show the pix to you..but i'll upload it later since i have to collect all the pix first :)

after the fun, korean "crazy man", meeting w/ mah fab gurlfriends and new nice friends i finally called it a day, i was late for my check up, yes, and they re-scheduled me hehe ;) but i have no regrets about that :) i'm juz hoping for the next one :)

tho, tired and all...i still have the strength to stay longer to watch Full House till wee hours in the am haha :)

so now, i'm finally here at home resting (tho i hoped for a longer sleep), hehe :) now, i can finally sleep earlier :) what a relief..no more dvd marathons for me..time to keep track of time and start sleeping earlier hehe :)

till here..tata! :)

..as we pay respect...

2005-04-04T07:50:00.000-07:00

we've seen him on tv or on newspaper as he lay, eyes closed but still remarkably beautiful. you won't see his face sad. tho not moving it is as if he's just sleeping and ready to open up his delightful eyes for you.

i want to remember him as someone who has a bright outlook in life, someone who's all smiles and ready to give you a hug.

Let us pray for him as he joins the angel in heaven and lives in an even more beautiful place :) He had suffered anough from the illness, juz an assurance that he's already with the Lord is enough to make me smile :)

-= an EXTRAORDINARY Pope =-

2005-04-03T10:50:00.000-07:00

I woke up with a not so good news, I quickly turned mah tv on just to see if what I'm actually hearing is true. And somehow I can't believe what I saw, the news have been airing it live on CNN and I was just in front of the tv while in bed having the feeling of not being able to move cuz I'm stucked on the tv.

Eventhough, I never got the chance to see nor get close to the pope, still I got this wish that one day I'd be able to just sit beside him and smile :) he's one person I totally respect and the mere fact that he's one well traveled pope, and one pope that knows more people than anyone on earth does, a person armed with charm and a face that can tell you “I won't hurt ou” in a way, made me admire him even more.

Though he had experienced how it is to be left alone in such an early age, he still managed to struggle to live with life and later on become a playwright and a poet..but even as a child you can see how cute and adorable he is.

With wojtyla as his real name, who would have ever though that this simple man from Poland would someday be known world wide with utter respect?

It indeed made me sad cuz somehow my being Catholic knocks on my heart’s door. He had been an inspiration, someone whom I could see only on tv yet I dream to know. Along with the other people mourning, I find myself praying the rosary as I did with my grandma.

Someway, somehow he touched my heart and i pray for him, tho i know he's with the angels already. :) He truly a GIANT in everyone's heart :)

...infrared...

2005-04-01T18:55:00.000-08:00

i finally installed the infra on mah pc haha..good thing! :) now, here's the pix as i promised before :)

there yah go, hehe...that'z mah friend eldz there :) it's a carribean themed event but i didn't go in a carribean costume haha...it's ok anyway :)

catch yah guys later...tata *mwah*

my PC's alive and kickin' agen :)

2005-03-31T22:50:00.000-08:00

finally, after days of just being in front of mah dear pc, i finally revived it's "all good" condition. my pc experinced some downs before due to a virus and a series of spyware issues. so i have to reformat it agen..(how many times have i done that? haha)...but the difference is i shifted to a new OS...

yes, after years and years of being a Win98 fan (cuz i find it more useful before), i finally shifted to XP Professional. So far, i'm enjoying mah new environment. A bit newer control panel but i'm definitely enjoying exploring it. It's pretty much the same with other OS tho with new additional features :)

But, for the downside, i have to re-install everything (not to mention i didn't backed up mah files before) good thing i got copies of mah impt. files on a cd :) i spent hours in front of mah pc fixing the virus and configuring which one should be installed first. what pops at mah head? Adobe Photoshop it's mah current addiction haha :)

now, that i finally got mah pc back, i surf till i get tired hehe..i missed hanging out wit teentalk and juz plain old surfin on whatz new and whatz hot :) now, m more extra careful so that i won't catch a virus again haha :) it really takes time to put all together back in one piece tho :)

good thing fixing mah pc get to spend mah time during the late holy week, cuz i know i'd be blamin' mahself once more for bein' sick on the day we have our "puerto gallera" escapade...but i know i have the reason to smile for cuz maybe this april i'd go hit bacolod for a nice beach. :) i fell in love with the place on the pictures :)

graduation is fast approaching and m getting more and more busier and more and more excited to fianally get some work :)

mucha lovin, everyone :) tata....

...my holy week...

2005-03-24T18:55:00.000-08:00

another week had passed and here i am in front of mah pc telling you how boring my holy week is. too bad i didn't make it to puerto gallera this week...compliments for myself for being sick. but nonetheless, i'd still go to puerto gallera on april maybe :) then bacolod for some more beach luvin', hopefully i could go to boracay on may..(still under negotiation with mah dad haha)...but so far here i am, sacrificing FUN, oh well that would be my "sacrifice" for this holy week :)

another thing that freaks me out is that "stiLL" i couldn't get the infrared work on my pc..it sucks cuz it was working before but now that it is installed once agen it doesnt work naman while on the other pc it does. oh well, i could still get my pix with juris on mah fone :)

i got the chance to go to "candy rap awards" last saturday, too bad 4 of mah dear friends cannot come cuz 3 of them will be on china for a holy week vacation while we haven't talked to den (tho we tried a couple of times). the result :: kim and I were the only ones from the group who could go but still we're on the go and nobody can stop us haha...so we went there, with mah bf & kristel (kim's friend) :)

i had these expectations that it would be star studded with lots of booths and fun fun activities...but i didn't see any. it was somehow boring...there were actors and actresses there but mostly are from starstruck (tho i'm not a huge fan tho), the only ones that i enjoy watching were mika lagdameo, olivia daytia and mariel. marc abaya gave a sexy, nice performance :) hihi

i saw some teentalkers too..tho there were only a few of them..here are some of our pix ;)

from L-R:: me, mah "co-vampress" kim, ellain, abby, and mah "twin tower" eka :)

now, there goes the "twin tower" sistahs...how did we get that name??! keep guessin :)

and there we go again, such a camwhore...

the vampresses of teentalk ready to start to par-teeh :)

from L-R: kristel, me, kim, ellain, abby and eka :)

and now, that's how i looked on mah goofy pictorial haha..
holy week is one occasion that i treat with respect..tho at times it means fun also by goin' out to provinces. but whether u celebrate it or not, it is on the person itself who can measure their faith. whether we go for a vacation or not, the thought is we should always remember to give time to God :)

one week of ramblings

2005-03-16T12:31:00.000-08:00

another busy week had passed by...it's only today that i got to stay at home..for the last 7 days i've been out and goes home sOoO tired but worth it :)

last friday (mar. 11), i've been wit mah fab teentalk friends :) gorgeous den is there and mah twinnie karen. :) tho i didn't make it on time for my pictorial (at least i got a re-sked), we juz went to robinson's galle to have more girl bonding :) whatz in store:: ice cream in bubblegum flavor, dine in at maxx, and a pizza trio(it's so thin but oh so yummy!), then we shopped for some stuffs and strolled our way around :) hope to be with these gals agen anytime soon :)

next stop would be saturday (mar. 12), believe it or not, yes i still went out..i arrived in greenbelt at around 7 pm, but i went to mah friend eldz (and her bf) in G4. then went to buy some stuffs from landmark and then went on our way to National Sports Grill wherein there is a bartending competition and Reggae Mistress and M.Y.M.P got to perform :) il post the pix here next time..mah infrared wasn't on mah pc ryt now..but i'l post the pix soon :) i even got the pix with juris (m.y.m.p's lead singer), she's really nice and very pretty voice talaga :)

after we finished the event in Greenbelt 1, we shifted to greenbelt 3 to dance our night way...i haven't danced that much but man, have i really sweat :) the place was so crowded that u only got a lil place for urself to dance into. but we didn't stay long...mah bf was already fetched by his friend since they have to shift to Ibiza while my friend and I went home. It was tiring alright but it was FUN! :)

it was only on sunday that i've rested, but monday passed and i've been to school, while tuesday was the sked for my photoshoot.

The photoshoot was a fun experience, m no expert in posing for the camera esp wen more than 1 person is with me, but i must admit m a self confessed "picture addict". il try to post some pix wen i got them. :) but nonetheless i had fun :)

after being in a busy "everyday out" status of my life, wednesday came and i thought i could finally get some rest even for a while but i was wrong. i have a job "panel" interview in the afternoon and i only knew it in the morning on the same day (how unfair is that?), think of 21 peeps around in a room. u'l stand one by one and talk about urself. can u imagine the pressure, everyone hearing your description and my sudden nervous breakdown? when i was finished i finally gave out a loud sigh for my own relief :) haha...nonetheless it is a great experience esp. for first timer like me on that situation.

and now, here i am finally resting (thank god!), m juz having my time to relax and be with mah beloved pc although my cd doesn't work so good at me..it has some tantrums already haha :) here's what i got from a certain quiz...

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence

You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

i actually believed on the result since i am a fan of reading and conversing with other people. i may not be good at all times but practice makes perfect ryt? :) now, here's another one that certainly keeps me and my busy life lighter :)

Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male

Your brain leans female

You think with your heart, not your head

Sweet and considerate, you are a giver

But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

i'm still more connected with my feminine side hihi :) but tho the feminine side is stronger m one tough cookie to crack at times (oh well, it depends) but still never let anyone take advantage of you! :)

tho sometimes you feel down and so stressed out, just smile...it's worth your time and it certainly would brighten up your day :) have a good day everyone! :)

treasurer is different from trasurer...

2005-03-10T08:47:00.000-08:00

i haven't stayed much at home this passed few days..i'm pretty much always outside. i miss mah bed more often now hehe...

as usual, my being an "officer" turned out to be my busiest chore, (from the before MWF sked it turned out to be EVERYDAY ryt now)...they better have a lot of incentives in store haha...but when i have things to do naman i could skip being at the dean's offc (now that makes me smile :) )....i even noticed last week that on the receipt of the yearbook, my name was properly written but the word treasurer was misspelled as trasurer..some of the papers have the ryt spelling but most aren't haha...it freaked me at first but i don't blame the one who made the receipt naman haha..at least don't put the blame on me. haha

i'm even more excited since there are random things that i have to do this week as well as next week. then another plan for the holy week :) summer was really a fab season...i so love it! to start all off, i have a photoshoot by friday, m goin' to meg's event on sat. and to greenbelt for my friend's event. then next saturday i'm out with my fab and gorgeous girlfriends to the candy rap awards :) *excited* because all 6 of us will be there to enjoy as well as the other teentalkers that we also long to see :)

my twinnie also has a new blog na pala. :) i enjoy reading ur entries gurL! it's juz too bad cuz i can't see my tagboard kanina...maybe later on :)

i went to the salon last nyt and they did a revamp on my eyebrow, haha..
my first reaction:: oMg! anong ginawa mo, i looked a bit different
gay's answer:: you look good on it, now it has a character than a sad one before
me to my bf:: does it look good on me? i feel a bit different
mah bf:: yea, it looks nice on yah
so, be it..anyways i can't put back the other one before na rin naman..haha ;)

to all graduating students on my batch, we will have a general assembly slash meeting on sat (mar. 12) at 10 am. on the 10th flr..auditorium :)

have to go for now, i still have to be at skul after lunch :)

Preparing for my job tesT

2005-03-01T16:30:00.000-08:00

i'm starting to feel the responsibility of being an officer at the same time doing errands and reviewing for my upcoming job test. i've heard that the test wasn't easy so i'm really goin' to prepare for it. i like the company and i'm looking forward to work with them :)

this march will also be a busy month for me since i have random scheds to follow ahead of me. its the month of the start of the pictorial for grad pics, the only difference is we (the officers), wer goin to be the last persons to have the photo op. ;) i just wish the make ups that i'm gonna be using is still on its top condition..i dont wanna mess up the pics :) hehe

i also want to come to mah friend's event in suburbia malate for a *nothing but water* fashion show plus some band will play. my friend and her groupmates in st. scho will host the event...the only problem i have is that i feel like i won't be able to make it since i have to be on the photo op by morning till afternoon and i still have my job test early on the next day. now, i'm still weighing it since i also have to give myself time to prepare for my soo early test.

if only i could do things all at the same time without getting tired at all. anyhow...after this week, i can somehow find time to get some rest. my clearance is also finished so i can fionally breathe since i have nothing else to worry about school. no more goin' to and from school juz to let people sign my clearnce. not to mention all the wait i have to do wen they are not even present.

i also miss getting out of bed late, since for the past 4 days i've been waking up at 8 or 9 am. i juz miss my bed and my sleep. somehow, i get to sleep late sometimes (thanx for the t.v. shows that stays up late with me)...but what i miss more is being in the mall every now and then since back in my college days i'm always in the mall whether juz to eat or watch a movie or juz gather up with some friends. haha! (wicked)

oUt oF tHe BluE iDeAs::

another freakin' news was about the VAT...i know GMA is an economist but somehow we've had enough of those raises. we have a lot to pay, can they juz try to settle it one by one and not by surprising us people of rates that goes to somewhere we never really know. maybe its really for our benefit but the period of adjustment isn't over yet so why put another thing into action when most people doesn't agree at it all?

and another thing, more and more teenagers get pregnant way before they are even ready for it. Some are even advertised, i know that having a child is a blessing since it is a gift, but will you ever consider something made out of accident really a gift? what about those children who are aborted?... i juz can't imagine how those people can think of such ideas after all...some even bore the child even without a father to hold responsible for it. these children have nothing to do with whatever sin or mistake their parents have done. but once it is there, be someone brave enough to take the responsibility. it's not at all that people wouldn't understand, as a matter of fact it was always on the stand of understanding the present situation.

in some way, some how we are the ones responsible for whatever that would happen to us. it's a matter of choice. even if you made a mistake, you still have a reason to smile for, for in that mistake you have learned and on your way to achieving progress. :)

current status:: busy mOde

2005-02-24T22:30:00.000-08:00

Lemme count the number of days that i've been out of the blog circulation? Hmm...14 days meaning I haven’t wrote here for like 2 weeks already…what a crime…

To start off..i'm getting more and more busier everyday…I got skeds ahead of me, I can manage it still but somehow wen I think of it, it makes me say *whoa! Go superwoman!*

It all started when I was voted as an officer in our graduating class, then and there I know I would be busy. Then came valentines day which apprently I didn’t go out (which happens to be good, since a lot of bombing had happened), then came the bday’s of mah dear friends cathy and bazet. i love these two fab gurls :)

Last feb. 18 was fun, me and mah boo went to Sheraton hoteL for a buffet dinner. And boy was I full wen I went out! I came in the hotel in a really flat tummy and I went out of it as if a I am pregnant haha. That only means that I really had a good time with the foods. I even got the chance to talk and shook hands with no other than one of the bosses of the hotel (mr. Tan) :) it was really fun and I did really enjoy the food :) I definitely want it to happen again :)

I finally have my TCG and I have already passed it to the HR department of my chosen company. But still, i have to get my graduation certificate as proof that I’m done w/ schooling last december and will graduate his coming may. The new clearance was also released and a lot has to be signed..(hint:: im gonna be busy agen)

I have interviews and tests on my sked plus the alternate days that I’m at skul to do my chore as an officer…I juz can’t wait to finally go out with my gurlfrends next week..i'm starting to feel more responsible right now. But still the child in me says *hey, ur still a teen*, even if m ~~not~~ on the teen years already haha :)

What goes on my mind ryt now? Start off with a biz…m currently thinking of having a biz and i'm open to the opportunities ryt nw. a lot of plans are on my mind but it was all still scattered and I hafta gather them all for now and il keep it posted on my next blog.

Meanwhile, here’s another proof of me being a picture addict …m starting to get more involved w/ photoshop and currently into graphic designing :)

write to yah later! :)

finally i got to get my TCG in juz a matter of weeks

2005-02-10T08:58:00.000-08:00

i may sound a bit trivial but hey, i waited till i could get my transcript. tho it's not the "real deal transcript" but my True copy of grades (TCG), still, that is a huge help to finally get me started for my series of tests and interviews :) i juz couldn't help but smile and wait for a couple of more days. i got the chance to get it within 2 weeks, wherein the rest of the other students could get theirs after 2 months..what a relief :)

another week has passed and a LOT had happened..i have been such a busy busy girl. to start it off, we had a General Assembly last friday for all graduating students. i came in late. thanx to the the traffic which abruptly i do not know the reason of. it started to piss me since i only alloted 30 minutes for my travel time since it was juz in makati. them, juz to find myself waiting for minutes and minutes and *boom* m late! my friend has been calling me on my celly already, i guess the meeting had started. so i decided to take another route, and waited for a ride till a guy in black went to me and asked if m kharen?!..(whatz on my mind?) i shook my head as a"NO" and he said "sorry, baka kamukha mo lang".."you're studying in AMA ryt"..i didn't bother to answer i guess. till my ride came and guess what? he also got down on the same location i did...i did ignore him that time. i went straight to the 10th flr. of our building for the meeting. too bad the elevator can only accomodate up to 7th flr, so i went my way up to the 10th flr. the next scene:: 'the meeting was on the 7th flr'..now i know why the elevator can only accomodate a ride to the 7th floor. so when i got in, i asked my friends what the commotion is all about. the room was noisy and a lot of students were there.

next scene:
anne:: nagbobotohan ng officers
me:: baket? anong meron?
then bazet and i went out of the room kasi sobrang init.......
me:: baket nagbobotohan?
bazet:: ewan ko, meron bang muse boboto kita
me:: sira!!!
then we went inside the room agen as anne shouted mah name...
anne:: karen!
anne:: karen a.
me:: (gave ann a wicked look!) and told the ppl arnd me what a wrong decision that is
but, everything is too late, the girl in front wrote my name already
juz then i realized, it ruined my "lie" to the guy in black..*poof* in a snap he knows me na!

i didn't won asa secretary for i was only on 2nd place, but they placed me to the treasurer position which means a lot of work....the good thing is:: there are advantages being an officer! :) u get a lot of freebies :)

after the tiring day, i finally got home and talked to my loving half :) he juz shows me all the support i need. he's more sweeter each day that's why i'm loving him more.

sometimes responsibility can be a burden to others but it helps us to grow and learn. yes, it is not at all easy but one way or another it can help you a lot on your way to success :)

3 days to go..

2005-02-02T01:35:00.000-08:00

ok, so its been like 9 days since i last wrote here...a week has passed by agen..haha..

the good news::
>> m done with my freakin updates for my grades...m finally done with all the waiting in line juz to update it
>> all i have to do is to let the respective departments in my school to sign my clearance and m off :) finally no more getting to and fro in school.

we will have our general assembly for all graduating students on friday and i'm curious on what will be discussed (i bet about the gradution proper)...there are lots of quessies on mah head, still, about it. Like, it is already FEb. and they hafta get our grad pics already..other skuls have their pictures already. oh well, might as well attend the assembly and see who are my batchmates who will be graduating soon :)

i also went to my hs alma mater last thursday to request a FORM 137 for my college registrar. it was different from before na the same(?) got that?..like it's the same place, same rooms (tho there are more additional rooms) and a lot was added to the campus. i just missed my hs life in a snap as i walk into the hallways of my hs school :) new faces and old faces come my way..too bad i aint got much time to visit some peeps around there.

i also got loads of plans ahead of me, but still those are plans...i'm juz gonna tell it wen m done with all of it :) *cross my fingers* hopefully i'll get it all done :)

Feb. 14 is also near and i got plans for that too (oh well, me and my loving half) :) we have to prepare on where we will celebrate it as well as the plan for the 5 gifts to give out on that special day. i have 5 things already on my mind, all i got to do is to buy it and wrap it up..while it would be a surprise for me on what's in store for me from him..anyhow as long as we keep the spirit that's fine with me. :) hope u guys would also celebrate a very merry and a day full of love on valentines :)

ECLECTIC person >> somebody who selects what is best or preferred from a variety of sources or styles

simply me...one word that describes me most...bein' into it and loving every aspect of life. that's what makes me live my life to the fullest :)

ECCENTRIC >>unconventional person: somebody who is unconventional, especially in a whimsical way

i can sometimes ignore the norms and get into what i prefer/choose to. i don't go with the flow always. i decide for whatever i wanted whether it my be on how i dress up or not. sometimes being unconventional keeps me from being too common :)

WICKED >> mischievous: liking to tease people playfully or cause them slight trouble, but without upsetting them seriously [ex. a wicked sense of humor]

very good: very impressive or very skillful (slang) [ex. he plays a wicked game of tennis]

it's one way i wanna describe myself but not in a bad manner. i can be on the neutral side..or i can be wickedly good or wickedly bad hehe..but nonetheless i know wer to put my limits :)

does it matter anyway if i describe on how i see myself? i guess what matters most is how people appreciate you for who you are. for not pretending and for them to tell how you deal socially and emotionally. tho not all people can have the right perception about you (think of being judgemental and jumping to conclusions even before knowing the fact)..you and only the few people close to you can really tell your personality :)

enough of those sentiments already and let's count the days left till my 28th monthsary... (3,2,1)

from this day onwards i'd be looking forward to the following::

my 28th monthsary on saturday
some get together on feb. 10
kitchie nadal concert on feb. 15
pictorial for graduation and casual pics
get my hair a trim
be on the mall on the weekend
celebrate valentines w/ more new plans

i guess those are on my list for now :) hopefully my other plans will also be put into action :)

gtg for now..i'll write soon wen i got more time :)

the dancer deep inside of me

2005-01-24T17:03:00.000-08:00

ok, that may sound trivial to ye all...but hey, i've realized that during mah late gradeskul days (think of grade 5 haha)...

what made me miss dancing agen:: special thanx to eldz for bringing me to their dance concert..once agen m into "wen did i stop dancing agen?" haha :)...we had a blast in st. cecilia's hall inside st. scho...to even note that i started the show with a not so good experience after all.

ok, the story goes like this::
we arrived in st. cecilia's hall at around 6:30 pm which happens to be the time of the start of the show (so much for being pinoy <>)...the show was about to start wen we got there..so we went to our places, a few seats away in front on the right side (left side if ur from the stage) :) juz as wen the show was about to start..something dreadful happened to me...and i put the blame to their slippery black floor...(yes, my key to SHAME!)...

ok, so yes i did slip, and i still have the face to laugh and smile haha :) after all it's slippery and what the hell do they care ryt? hahaha :) another lesson learned:: "be more carefuL, people are lookin at yah " haha...

after we watched the show, did some laugh trips along the way, clapped our hands, waved to our friend who's on stage...we decided to eat :) i thought my friends will go eat something heavy but it turned out that m the one who's hungry with a spag and a hamburger...they only ordred fries and a sandwich..grrr..so much for appetite :)

oh, i juz miss the days wen i'm at the limelight haha...getting practices even wen we have class (which is a way to be excused anyway :) )...i've realized that it's been years since i stopped doing it and i feel the urge to do it agen haha

weekends passed, and i got a blast :) sunday was fun for me too since i got the chance to have fun with my bf agen :) we had dvd marathons over a lot of foods hehe...

i got the chance to view 'a walk to remember' agen on HBO and on the 2nd time, it still makes me feel the romance and cried a tear or two since it was really nice :) i hope there are still guys like that who respect you for who you are and be there for you even through the tough times. i also like the scenes wen shane west fulfilled all the wishes of mandy moore. i find it really sweet..even if sh'es gone, the feeling is still there. what a guY! hope my bf makess those for me too :) hehe... i'm always a fan for surprises. :)

a week had gone by and many things had happened..whether it may good or bad, its part of learning the fundamentals of life :)

the poet inside of me...

2005-01-16T09:46:00.000-08:00

it's been a week...and i feel as if i haven't wrote here for a lifetime haha...and i blame it all to my lazy self :) haha. i juz didn't feel like being online these past few days :( hehe

okay, to start it off...my being a bum wasn't so good after all..the only good thing that happened for me this week is wen my loving half visited me last friday. the rest of my days wer a total bum but still i made my self productive...yes! finally..something i feel good abt doin :)

for years and years, my closet has been pretty fuLL :) everytime i make a new purchase i always forget to see whether m still using the others. there is this time wen i planned to declutter my closet and wen i finished, i didn't eliminate any single clothing (which is my main purpose why i decluttered my stuff)...it was this week that finally, i get to choose the old stuffs that i don't usually use anymore. i placed it in a basket with a plasctic so that it would still be free of dirt...

i've also realized that i still have old stuffs that i can transform into a brand new style :) think of cutting skirts into shorts ones and making boleros out of out jackets and knitted ones :) that only means fun, fun, fun with many different colored threads and needles :) i also found out tank tops and shirts that still have tags on it (wicked shopper!) haha...juz wen i thought i was practical haha :)

it was juz today that i knew the poet inside of me...haha..i saw this notebook of my sister full of poetry and other stuffs that were usually collected back wen i was in highskul. she re wrote every stuff that she found on my notebook before. and juz as went i thought i lost every poetry i made, i was entirely wrong wen i read my sister's notebook :) there they were, my self made insane poetry haha :) i'L share one with yah...

Untitled

They would always be there for you
Just when you needed them the most
They could make your life have a hue
All you need is to give your trust

They are always there to give help
Whenever you are in trouble
The friendship is for yours to keep
And happiness will be doubled

Friends are not only for the joy
They are emant for the sorrows too
They are not with us to be toys
Give love and they will cherish ou

Just try to remember my friend,
Cherish them and love them deeply
So that your friendship will not end
'Coz friends understands you clearly.

-wicked

There it goes...as i read every poetry (as i may call it) that i made, i find it corny already but still wow myself that i made a number of it and still make a point in every single one that i make. haha..after all i should count it as my 'lil achievements pla hehe :)

i always thought that i wasn't creative enough cuz every single artwork i make doesn't look as beautiful as i want it to be. Nonetheless, the first ever drawing that i made on a poster size canvas turned to be my first "ala" painting mode... it was given praises by my grandfather (who's a painter), my skulm8s back in hs (i can't remember if i gave it to one of them) :) i was happy then..it even had my name and the date that it was finished hehe..

i even used my grandfather's paintbushes..(without his knowledge) silly me...then i got his praise haha :)

after all, creativity doesn't need the approval of everybody :) it's your own style, live it and love it :)

what a day?!

2005-01-11T11:00:00.000-08:00

to start my day off...i went online to fix my xanga due to unfinished business that somehow left my xanga a messy read. i was trying out a new layout wen all of the sudden i was disconnected and there goes my xanga left hanging with unfinished business. it looked a mess alright, but only for a day hehe :) i finally get to fix it early this am :) then off i went to take a shower and dolled myself up for i am goin' to skul, not for classes, but for updating my transcript, which i really needed badly to finally start having a job.

so there i was, on my way to skul..(as usual late for the call time with my friends), when i got to skul, the first thing that i raided was the C.R....i texted my friend to let her know i was around already and wer the heck is she? (haha)...wen all the calls and texts wer done, i finally saw her on our skul newapaper's office (with her newly found love...her new boyfriend!)..ok, so we have to go to the registrar's office. But before that, i saw may friend lhayze and ester too :) ...so i finally get to line (a super long line and not to mention, a hell of a wait), photocopied the true copy of my grades (since they wil get the true copy from me, so in case there's a prob, hey i still have my copy!).....juz to find out that we didn't make it to the 1st batch so we have to go back agen next week (since updating were only held every tuesdays), that did it!....one lesson i've learned never ever go to skul after lunch if u want to finish your business (well, at first, i thought last week that there wasn't much people who would come to update, but based from what i saw a while ago..i was wrong! never will i go there late agen!) that really made my day! it was so frustrating!, try to imagine goin' all the way there and finding out that nothing good happened from all the waits, standing long enough, and effort of being able to go there!...it really freakin' pissed me out! i won't let it happen agen next week!

what made my day worst::

waiting for my turn to update
standing up while waiting
line up while some friends of other people gets into the line with no sweat
get into all these things only to find out "you didn't make it" and come agen next week
they need the copy of my OJT certificate which I passed to my adviser (take note, it's the original)
being in glorietta, only to find out, mah frends won't be there anytime soon
go to glorietta alone, since my friend needs to be with his bf for a while..thinking my other friend is still there
then ask where my other friend is, only to find out, she's in skul already helping another friend
eat alone in fruit magic, hoping and waiting they will arrive
till i finally give up and juz go home!

quessie:: will u be as pissed off?

now finally, what made my day happy?

finally, after looking at national bookstore, powerbooks and other stores, i already have the copy of the Jan.-Feb. ish of candy from a magazine stand :)
surprisely, see my picture together with my teentalk friends in the ish (during our mini e.b., which happens to be not so mini after all since wer many)
bought a trusty tank top in mango :) tho i should have looked for medium size, i bought the small one...too lazy to ask actually, cuz the tag seems to have too many sizes on it. it has S and M so whatever!
got fries, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich from fruitmagic, a cheese waffle and an ice tea to satisty my tummy

not to bad after all huh? :)

m juz glad i had a bf whom i could get the strength with during times like these...he's juz too adorable for me, and that simply takes all the woes away and wen all things are done..he juz puts a smile on my face and m through the day :)

::no more woes::

2005-01-09T00:55:00.000-08:00

yup, u read that right..i'l be more careful so that no other unfortunate things can happen (i hope). a new year means a brand new start..more responsible things are in store for me (of course, plus the fun). i may have finished schooling but hey, dont get me wrong, i still miss going back to school. Buying out new clothes (since we don't have a uniform), new pairs of shoes, a pen that could last for the whole tri (go G-tec!), a single notebook that contains all my subjects, and new faces every time i attend a class (that goes for being me as a free sec student). i enjoyed it rather than being a block section student, for wen u are in a block section...one mistake of another can lead to the misery of others!

a while ago, we kept our christmas decorations and xmas tree as well, on their proper boxes (good thing christmas decors outside wer left, still, so i could still feel the light of the whole street)...and putting them to their respective boxes and places means WORK! juz try to imagine the glitters i got from all the decors. I would post our xmas tree pix wen i have time to upload it.

i guess i've been watching too much tv these days that i juz caught myself switching to different stations til i finally get to watch something that interests me besides CNN. i even spotted this show that says "101 reasons why the 90's rock"...it was really interesting...i stayed up late that night for that..too bad it's only part I, i don't know wen part II will be aired. While watching it, i somehow smile and maybe laugh a little cuz it reminded me of my younger days (well, i am still young tho)..it is truly nice to go back in time wherein you can reminisce, only to find out that u are "baduy" during those days, then u'l laugh :)

Britney spears ranked 83...she got herself a debut album in 1999...can u imagine how small her boobs were that time and it really boosted out as years pass by..not to mention it is sometimes inflatable, meaning sometimes it's big sometimes it's not. I've seen a site before that totally differentiate every year and month on how inflatable it was..hehe...how about vanilla ice that ranked 91? he became sooo popular on the early 90's but too bad...fame only short lived in his career..can u still remember those baggy pants he wore? haha...here's some random tidbits that i chose ::

92 cellphones rocked (it was in the 1990s wherein cellphones were released and sold to the market like hotcakes) :) i can remember myself doing good shots for mah parents juz to buy me one :) lolz
90 the movie "SCREAM" (wherein someone with a ghost mask goes out to hunt and kill, that made other movies such as "i know what u did last summer", "i still know what u did last summer", "urban legend", and other suspense horror movies as well as spoofs movies to finally come out of the shell)
89 George Clooney as a lead star in E.R. that claimed his name to fame
88 The Arsenio Hall Show (honestly, i don't know this)
87 XENA: The Warrior Princess (it was released in 1995, and I find myself guilty of watching it...my grandma loved the show, and we watch it often before,plus i love her outfit :) )
86 John Travolta was back to the map (the 90's helped me out to regain the name)
85 7 ft tall model named RePaul was actually a guy! (read that right, he was gay)
84 Playboy and guess model Annie Nicole married an 89 yr. old millionaire (i don't know what maked this interesting, hint:: the best way to be a millionaire...marry an old one lolz)
82 Power Rangers (another thing that I'm guilty of, hey, I was young then and the show was a hit..u can find power ranger toys and other stuffs sold in the market like hotcakes and even america loves it)
81 Murphy Brown vs. The Vice President of U.S (i forgot their argument..but still isn't it a bit political?)

there are a whole lot more, but if i put all of them here..i juz wouldn't finish today hehe :) it was fun to juz go back to the days and smile for once in ur life u have been young and u enjoyed it! :)

nonetheless, i enjoyed every part of my life...may it be my ups and downs...for without all of these things..i wouldn't learn..and if i didn't learn..i wouldn't progress. Life's a cycle, u juz don't end at one point...u go through it again and again..only smarter and better :)

whatz in store for me on 2005? lemme check..

2005-01-01T11:55:00.000-08:00

Happy happy new year everyone! :) I hope this year of the rooster will bring us prosperity and more good things to happen in our lives. Hope that it will be exactly the opposite of the humoured bad karmas that are being forecasted in our country and selves as well. As an observer, i do hope for far better things this year. I don't wanna waste mah time on nothing!

A while ago I was watching One Tree Hill while I could still hear MGB on the other tv in our room. And i can't help but peek on the show wherein they are showing the victims of firecrackers, as well as maullings & stabbed wounds. I pity them esp. those who didn't even lit a single firecracker and yet they still experienced the bad fate of bein' in the ER on new year's day. I hate watching people suffer, in pain, and most specially seeing some body parts bein' torn apart like some ugly toy. Now, u know why i can't be a nurse/doctor...i simply can't stand seein' them like that. But, somehow it comes up to mah mind that some people are really hard headed, they do things without thinking first..and now, they now what to do since they got through all the pain and all.

To start off, new year means a brand new new year's resolution to some. But, for me...i simply don't make one. I don't believe at it after all...WHY? ...cuz why do i have to make one (esp. on a new year) when i could start now? or even as last 2004? one thing more...i hte making resolutions only to find out that I didn't accomplish even one single thing on my list or did everything except one? wouldn't that disappoint u?...resulting to the same new year's resolution every year.

I was watching tv a while ago, and i remembered this news that i had watched yesterday...I can't help but wonder who started the fire in Bocaue, Bulacan that caused losses to a few residences and other shops as well. It really happened so fast, and too early in the morning that some people have died while asleep. Why can some people be really insensitive of what could happen especially wen they know they have to be more cautious since their place is full of foreworks? Too bad, some didn't have the ample time to escape.

Mah plans so far for the month of January::

get my grades and update it to finally have the complete copy of my transcript
to finally get my transcript and go apply for a job
sometime this month, get my photo taken for my grad pics and some casual pix(which i love to collect)
go to random bday party's of my friends who will celebrate for this month

here are some predictions that i've remembered that was aired on the news a while ago::

a retired basketball player could die this year (i wish it wasnt true since we had already enough number of lives spared for this year)
a well known comedianne could also have a fate of dying this year (see above)
there could be a disorder/riot to bring down the Arroyo Government sometime on Feb. (i dunno what to say on what government we have...our economy doesn't even seem to do good, some doesn't even see progress...will the people finally do something abt it?)
sometime in Nov. will not be good for GMA (whatz in store for us?)
There will be a "delubyo".. (i hope not, wer still not over the tsunami disaster)

tho, we are faced with a lot of "so called bad fates" for this year..i still won't believe all those forecasts, we are the ones who makes our fate...we juz have to be more cautious and more responsible for what we do right now will reflect on what we will have in store for this year. :) (i would like to thank my fans, loved ones...thank u manila! hehe feeling may speech ü)

tho we face life's challenges everyday, think not of the negatives but on the brighter side of life. As the cliche goes "Life is too short" ...waste it not on thinking of the sad memoirs and life's not so good experiences for there will always be rainbow after evry rain (southborder s dat u?!)..let's stay happy, young, and a more bright future ahead of us :)

as i count the days before new year :)

2004-12-29T20:15:00.000-08:00

i went to the mall today to buy some stuffs..but unfortunately, i didnt get to buy the thing that's on top of my list (mimi's lip and cheek tint) ...i've searched for it in glorietta..but nonetheless i have already bought other stuffs that comes in the way but still no sign of it. it really made my day tiring but...yes, but...i still dont feel the pressure of bein tires since mah loving half is there for me everytime il make my "shopping ++ window shopping" haha :)

what made my day fun?..lots of kulitan with mah half...from the corniest jokes to the "till u get mad" asaran haha...but it was fun..one day full of laughs for me :) he even treated me with a yum yum food :)

oh, i almost forgot..it's also mah cuzin's bday today..cheers to anna! lolz...(let's get piggy with it..na na na..lolz) u know what that meant hihi...

ok, m into mah ~~bored~~ idle time, so here somes some few things i wanna share::
i get to answer a few quizzes from www.quizilla.com and here's my results..

what season r u?

You're a Spring. You usually are very close-knit
with your friends and value everyone friendship
you have. You're a real people person and
everyone loves how friendly you are. You're
good with encouraging people but usually don't
like to be the center of attention. You are a
social butterfly and probably are in several
circles of friends but it's just because you're
well liked and you make people comfortable.
You're both fun and wise but you are very
realistic about life.

oh my, this is so true...i really do value friendship and m true social butterfl since i have several circle of friends :) those words truly made me smile cuz it can totally describe a part of me...never thought quizzes can describe me that well lolz.

What kind of boyfriend would you have?

All of your friends are jealous and you know it.
The boy is some romantic, he always can make a
rose appear out of nowhere just to cheer you
up. He often says you're his angel and always
knows how to make you blush a dark shade of
red.

who could judge if that answer is correct but me...hmm...lemme segregate that...all of ur friends are jealous and u know it...uy nde nmn..they have their own respective fairytales. the boy is some romantic, he always can make a rose appear out of nowhere just to cheer u up...that's true, he really make ways to cheep me up and i find him sweet in his own lil ways...he often says ur his angel and always knows how to make you blush a dark shade of red...true to itself that he considers me the best gurl he got (as if like m angel sent to him lolz), those simply words can really make me blush...the verdict:: he's one romantic boyfrend i got :)

ok. that goes out for me today..the next time il blog il post more sensible insights lolz..parang lokohan tong tests na toh eh hehehe joke :)

kharen dhanz

whatz in store after christmas? :)

2004-12-28T00:30:00.000-08:00

Christmas is over but not yet for me..since it will still be a merry month til I reach the 31st J it had always been the happiest every new year…(more food, more fireworks, and more incoming messages from friends all through out) :)

I spent mah christmas at home, wherein I helped out to prepare the foods (yea, think of slicing onions, tomatoes, mixing these and that to create a yum yum salad..etc..) it was indeed fun but a hell lotta work for me..juz one day at the kitchen can totally freak u out lolz..

After having all the foods prepared, we got dressed and prepared for more kodak moments..spend loads of prepaid for greeting every person on the phone book a merry merry christmas..and til the clock hits almost 3 a.m. I finally call it a day.

The next day after christmas, we went out (with mah rents and sibs). We went to visit my grandma’s bestbud, we ate there as well as hoping for christmas money lolz..then went to one of our relatives in manila and juz spend the day with watching tv, eating, and story telling of whatz goin’ on with each and everyone’s lives.

After the merry making with a few relatives, we went to SM Manila (I’ve been there once, and its mah 2nd time to be there)..its ok for me tho makati had still been my 2nd home. I juz bought some stuffs…too bad the department store is closed but oh well the cinemas are alive and kickin’ (since it’s the opening of the Manila Film Fest). The next thing I knew, I was in wendy’s ordering (I love their bacon cheeseburger with Large fries and oh so fine salad) :) then we all decided to call it a day..man, was I tired but still I’m headed to the phone to give mah loving half a ring and talk about our whereabouts for the day. He spent his "after" christmas on his grandma’s hze wherein they annually have their family reunion. The bottom line is, he went home safe but late, still phoned me but a lil drunk that’s why he had to rest (thanx to his dad for bringing him to the cockpit lolz)

The next day…guess what?! I ~~rested..~~ ok I didn’t, for I went to the baptism of kaye and niño’s lil gurL :) she’s so cute & adorable..i love the picture in the souvenir. she even had rosy cheeks to match her chinita eyes..oh she look’s really cute. Jared is overly cute too :) (Louie and Jeff’s son)..i met new friends and old friends at the reception. Cool huh?

Did I mention m not into smoking? (HeLL yeah!) and so is mah guy..he ~~didn’t~~ smoke and drink..you got mah point? Tho he only had one but yea, that’s a big deal for me. Its juz that its no "in" thing for me. Nweys I went home ~~quite~~ early since I have to commute my way back home. Think of coast to coast…

I still have to prepare for january’s pictorial for graduation pictures and casual pix which I ~~would~~ eventually use for more photoshop tricks lolz,
A new year will come and a new me will agen charm my way down to life’s best way of living, ~~hopefully,~~ oh not hope but I will eventually.

What describes me:

eclectic person: somebody who selects what is best or preferred from a variety of sources or styles
eccentric: unconventional, especially in a whimsical way
an eccentric mode of dress
unconventional person: somebody who is unconventional, especially in a whimsical way
perky : lively and cheerful: lively, cheerful, and energetic
critic: somebody judging something: somebody who makes a judgment about or an appraisal of something or somebody and gives comments
~~pretty,~~ beautifuL: pleasing to the senses: very pleasing and impressive to listen to, touch, or especially to look at
gorgeous: outstandingly beautiful or richly colored
someone who knows how to manage problems
someone you can laugh with, cry with, be crazy with
KJ and I am no more..i’ve overcomed it lolz
a loving half
best gurlfrend
someone content with what she has
someone blesses with ppl she loves
someone who loves white chocolates, a picture addict, loves blue and pink, lip gloss, and trinkets
m not a narcissistic person but I love what I have and that contents me and that’s what makes me happy and face everyday’s challenges

i've read this one on paula's blog and i juz can't help myself to agree with it...here it goes.."when pretty woman passes by, there will always be an insecure person who’ll try to analyze the life of that woman- and how miserable she must be". true isn't it? :)

A better and happier new year to aLL of us! :)

whatz happenin 'round us?

2004-12-27T23:50:00.000-08:00

ok, i got up late..lets say around 3 p.m. (what a bum)...the next thing i knew..i should be at least alarmed since tsunamis and earthquake hit southeast asia..ok, i know i shouldn't be that alarmed since i was not there (but hey, mah friends wer in thailand)..the first thing that came into ma mind was if my friends are ok while they are on vacation and what a drastic thing to happen especially on december.

here's what i've noticed..this december wasnt much of a fun...lots of ppl dying (think of FPJ, Kc de Venecia, and dolphy's grandson, to add with other people who died anonymously and the recent tragedy that happened on phuket thailand, sri lanka, maldives, india). sometimes i wonder, y on earth does it all have to happen on this supposedly merry month of december??

The shocking news:: The world's most powerful earthquake in more than 40 years struck deep under the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Sumatra, triggering massive tsunamis that obliterated villages and seaside resorts in six countries across southern and Southeast Asia. Tourists, fishermen, homes and cars were swept away by walls of water that rolled across the Bay of Bengal, unleashed by the 9-magnitude quake.

Shouldn't we all be merry? but whatz happenin? :(

one fun slumber party ! ! !

2004-12-22T22:54:00.000-08:00

the past two days had been fun, fun , fun for me :) we had a blast during our slumber party with mah hs barkada!...lots of:

story telling (lovelife, present life status, hs memories)
goin' to store to buy stuffs (even toothbrushes that was left from their list lolz!)
lotsa rootbeers
lotsa stories over chips and foods
late night sleep and a lil l8 waking up (speak of 8:30 am before we really get out of bedS)
watching tc from lover's in paris to hbo movies till the wee hours in the am
and never forget the kris kringle (w/ matching charades.. )

it was indeed a blast! :) oh i miss those gurLs big time :) check out our pix on mah photo album on the right :) those r only a few pics cuz we had more time on chit chats hihi..

here's some few tidbits i wanna share with yah guys, hope u felt the same that it was indeed what makes blogging fun as well as what makes it annoying at times...

The ups and Downs of Having your own Blog ::
Perks:

1. You can pick the topic, say anything you want about it and disable your comments feature so that no one can argue with you. Ah, the joy of living in the age of technology!
2. You get to read other people’s thoughts and ideas and interact with them by commenting on their blogs, adding them as links on your page.
3. You can keep tabs with friends and their lives through reading their online journals. This is especially good for friends who are far from each other and don’t get to see each other often during school breaks.
4. You can add pictures of yourself, your friends, your family and even your dog.
5. You can customize it and turn it into a cute work of art.
6. It’s a great way to vent and release pent-up emotions with the option of hiding behind a fake name. Knowing that your blog is a public site makes you feel like you can let go of whatever’s bothering you.

Bummers:
1. People leaving comments that you don’t like. This is inevitable and very annoying.
2. If you mention your full name anywhere in your blog, people can type your name on google, click search, and shazam!, there you will be. This is fine for walanghiya types who don’t mind people reading all about their lives, but for those who would like to be discreet about their blogs, you may be turned off.
3. People talking about other people and getting into online arguments.
4. Technically, you can say anything you want about anything or anyone you want. But in reality, unless you don’t care about the rules of etiquette and being polite, you actually still have to hold back a bit, or at least reword some things that may sound a bit harsh.

True isn't it? :)

now, here goes another tidbits that I myself wondered since elementary lolz...
Do you know that there’s a whole science to roses? Yup!…according to the Rose Information Bureau there’s a whole color chart made especially for giving out the right message. Each color has its own meaning, so check this out and a learn or two, and let your roses do the talking.

COLOR & MEANING
Red
Respect, courage, passion
a.k.a "I love you"
Yellow
Joy, gladness, friendship
-Ideal for best buds and happy moments
White
Purity, reverence, innocence
-Think of it as him saying "You’re heavenly"
Orange
Enthusiasm, desire, fascination
-There’s a mystery to you and he likes it
Burgundy
Unconscious beauty
-Heard of sleeping beauty? –you’re it!
Dark Purple
Gratitude, appreciation, thankfulness
-best for occasions that call for a "thank you"
Light Pink
Grace, gentility, admiration
-ideal for courtship
Lavander
Enchantment
-Ideal for courtship
Pale Colors
Friendship, sociability
-Like the color yellow, pale colors symbolize "friendly" love, when you want to tell them you care

if i were to be courted once more by my loving half (since he does that over and over agen to mke me feel special inn his own lil way) , i'd love the color pink! : )...but stiLL red symbolizes "I love yOu" so i bet il go for that but if I could go against any rules id like blue and other lively colors :) hihi :)

gift giving experience

2004-12-20T23:00:00.000-08:00

there's always a time for gift giving and that includes mah gifts for mah friends, famme, bf, and other peeps hihi :) it was always fun goin around somewhere and shop and see what gift would be suitable for each person that's on mah list hihi :)

yesterday i was out with some of mah friends :) (den, cathy, kristeL, & jacq) too bad kim wasn't there..(paramdam ka next time..lolz)..we had a blast..it was always fun goin' out with them nweys lolz...we met at around 4 p.m. (which should be at 3 p.m. lolz, the usual time haha)...then we shift malls from glorietta to rockwell since glorietta is so jammed pack with people of different kinds and we hafta look for a place nearby that has less peeps on it and we decided to go to RockweLL and while wer there we juz had fun to sit and talk while at Olivers super sandwich...while we wait for Jacq to return :)

so wen jacq returned, we all decided to eat dinner na since we are all hungry na (lolz)..we decided to go to Kaya ...we really had our hungry stomachs filled with yummy korean dishes :) i even didnt get to finish mah whole meal since m fuLL already and the spicy pork gets into the way...the spicy taste stays on mah mouth for a while so i didnt finish that part of mah meal lolz..but to rate it..the food was reaLLy goOd! :) yum yum!

then we went back to glorietta since they have to drop me off there...cuz that's wer il hve mah ride back home :) soo...it was gift giving time before i could totally go home and we did that on G4's main entrance haha :) it was fun seein' othr cars waiting till we finish haha (wicked!)...

wen i finally got home, i stiLL have to wrap the other gifts that i didnt finish the other day :) den and I even tlked till..what time was it? haha...mah bf went home late (i juz knew it today) but he explained it anyway so its ok :)

as christmas is fast approaching, stiLL, m not yet done with mah shopping...but ohh weLL there will always be a lot of time even after christmas...ryt now, m lovin' mah new shoes :)

tomorrow will be another bonding time with me and mah gurlfrendz from hs :) yep, we're stiLL alive and wer kickin'..counting years of friendship together...tiLl our hairs grew white (which we will eventually dye) haha... :) i'd be sharing those bonding sessions with u on mah next blog :)

if being a b.i.t.c.h means these:

B = Babe
I = In
T = Total
C = Control of
H = Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

...then i must be one heLL of a b.i.t.c.h (i prefer the ones with the dots than the word itself for more clarity) :)

..a bum no more ..

2004-12-16T08:53:00.000-08:00

Only a few of our neighbors gets to put their christmas decors unlike last year wherein we can light up the whole street lolz
Our street doesnt have the decors on the middle unlike last year..where there is ecen a motiff for every street in the village.
Many typhoons came leading to homeless and hungry Filipino peeps that should be all well and should be happy this christmas
This will be mah saddest christmas for me cuz mah grandma will not be by my side physically..and will never be...i miss her damn much! But i know she's happier now and m always praying for her happiness.. i love you granny!

i woke up and found a shocking news...oh well it shocked everybody as well....one legendary man that made tv viewing fun since then. the personal fave of mah loving grandma.

many loved him some may h8 him for political reasons but as a whole the Filipinos had been a huge part of FPJ's success... sad but true and mah condolences goes to his family and friends...there will always be hope and pinoys may have lost a frend, a movie idol, a family member, a good leader, a worst leader or whatever but one thing is absolutely sure..we all gained an angel as weLL. Condolence to the family of the man whom had been a legend to every pinoy movie goer.

goin' back to reality of life.........

i just started this blog and stiLL enjoying and learning from it...tho i have to resize mah pic since this can only hold up to 50 kb pic...i stiLL go for xanga wen it comes to pictures and audio sounds...but i find a feature here that can do what xanga xan do as weLL i'b be glad to :) hihi
