hot when i'm 30

Okay... so that goal's a bit too ambitious. but hey, if I could lose 30 pounds and have a little confidence adjustment, I just might achieve it. tongue click!

I have 1 year and 6 months to go before I'm 30. BUT..! two of my closest friends are getting married in the next few months, that's why I better hurry up. so this is the plan.. starting TODAY:

1. no softdrinks or any carbonated drink
2. only 1 cup of rice for the entire day
3. 8 glasses of water each day
4. no sweets (i have to have a cheat day for this)

this is just for now. baby steps. ima see what happens in the next 2 weeks and work from there. wish me luck! coz I'm gonna need it!

a late introduction

   
I have 2 distinct set of friends. Everybody else falls in between. I've mentioned them before here.

The first set is my high school buddies; most of them, guys. Guys who girls would be proud to introduce to their parents as their boyfriends. Guys, who a couple of years back founded ASC (Amorsolo Singles Club). During that time, all of my guy friends were single. Back then, they had weekly basketball-Senor Pedro nights, occasional roadtrips and girl watching slash hunting days.

From left: Enton, Poli, Linus (or Kid), Nat, Ronnel. Ain is the guy kneeling. 

Dyndyn and Neil (not in picture) are also members. 
Dyn is the only guy who has a gf when ASC was established.

Today, Kid is the only guy who doesn't have a gf.

The only girls in that group are me, Ria (who we sometimes refer to as Bude) and Ching.

Watch the cute video I made for them. :)

new fave song

if things go my way, this would be one of my wedding songs.

Fallin for you
Colbie Callait

Fallin’ For You – Colbie Caillat Music Code

I don’t know, but I think I maybe fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly, maybe I should keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I know you better

REFRAIN:
I am trying, not to tell you, but I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what i’m feeling
But I’m tired of holding this inside my head

CHORUS:
I’ve been spending all my time, just thinking bout ya
I don’t know what to do, I think I'm fallin for you
I’ve been waiting all my life, and now i found ya
I don’t know what to do, I think I'm fallin for you
I’m fallin’ for you

As i’m standing here, and you hold my hand
Pull me towards you, and we start to dance
All around us, I see nobody
Here in silence, it’s just you and me

(REFRAIN & CHORUS)

Oh I just can’t take it, my heart is racing
Emotions keep spinning out

(CHORUS)

I can’t stop thinkin bout it, I want you all around me
And now i just can’t hide it, I think i’m fallin’ for you
(x2)

I’m fallin’ for you, Ooohhh, Oh no no
Oooooohhh, Oh i’m fallin’ for you

if only he can read my thoughts, then maybe he'll like me

{ please take this out of the cheesy context. :) }

new personal rule number one

it would only be validated as love if it's mutual

wishful thinking

hope i'll end up with someone who wouldn't mind that i kiss my dogs. :)

i have realized...

that i don't have THAT much to offer... but hell, i'm still worth it.

i have learned...

that i cannot hate anyone as much as i want to. kainisan, yes; be annoyed and irritated, sure. but never hate. HATE is too strong a word for me.

miss na kita... : a repost

miss na kita...

at kung pano natin pagtawanan ang mundo
at ang ating mga sarili

namimiss ko…

ang mga tanong mong hindi mahanapan ng sagot
ang mga takot mong walang dahilan
at ang mga pangarap mong tila walang katapusan

hinahanap ko…

ang bungisngis mo. ang kalokohan mo. ang katangahan mo.
ang mga kwento mo. mga reklamo. opinyon. ikaw.

pasensya na. hindi lang ako sanay na wala ka. pero masasanay din ako, wag ka mag-alala.

pansamantala, gusto ko lang malaman mo na… miss na kita.

this is a shortened version

from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

"We're meant to lose the people we love; how else are we to know how important they are to us?"

yeah, i know - how very Forest Gump-ish. but i still enjoyed this line. darn, i'm becoming more and more cynic. tsktsk!

hanging out with HS friends

january 3, 2009

ria, boinx, ronron, natnat, neil, kid, ching, ain

it started with a text "gusto nyo tumambay before we get back to our busy lives?" it was an impromptu tambay. as in! wala talagang plano. from starbucks convergys to sm trinoma to pork barrel to starbucks kalayaan. as usual, favorite topic si nathan.

last year, i had less time spent with them. especially because i moved to makati towards the end of the year. i had a roller coaster of a ride last year and though we don't get to see each other that often, they are always there for me. im always thankful i have friends like them. love you guys! (yuck, cheesy!)

PUSOY!

January 1, 2009

my mom's from malabon, my dad's from tondo. so, all their children are the ultimate sugarols. but for the new year, it's pusoy!

to err is human...

to lose your bag (that contains your psp, newly bought wallet, all IDs, among others) just because you're engrossed in a conversation with your ex-crush of a bestfriend... IS. JUST. PLAIN. STUPID.

i would've preferred being mugged. at least, when asked how, i can say that i put up a good fight and had no choice but to give up my stuff. instead of a pathetic i-left-my-bag-on-the-chair-beside-me like i was actually offering the darn thing.

december had not been very good to me. just last week i was almost towed by the mmda coz my car overheated and gave up on me in the middle of ayala.i left my car in shell ayala for 2 days coz there's no way i can drive it back home. then i cut myself (a deep cut, i might add), though i don't know if that instance counts, it's actually a given fact that i'm a walking disaster. and just before i had my tito tow my car to malabon, i broke my full length mirror in an attempt to bring it my newly rented apartment. that's 7 more years of bad luck!

and then yesterday's the last straw. i dunno what else can top that. i just hope nothing can.

and since the universe poured it's one year worth of bad luck on me in just one week, i am PRAYING that some karmic god take pity on me and leave the rest of my 2008 in peace.

and if, in case, this string of bad luck is just an introduction to something larger than life for me.. i'm expecting a BBB anytime soon. and i mean SOON!

as in NOW NA! hehehe!

whatta saturday!

november 22, 2008

KomikoN 2008

the most frustrating thing about this is that i have waited for a year to attend this event and i actually missed it. i arrived in UP Bahay ng Alumni 30 minutes before 8pm. and everybody's already packing up. good thing, a college friend, batch leader, orgmate and beerkadet Elaine Muncal (Beerkada's Chompy) saw me and gave me FREE copies of Batch 72. Thanks batchhead! :D

i missed Elmer 4 and Trese, the comics i have anticipated the most.

good thing Michael David was there and i was able to get an autographed copy of Kubori Strips for the Soul.

(Boinks, late ka tsktsk! salamat! -David)

i guess i just have to wait for next year for Komikon 2009.

SM Makati

forgive me for blogging my saturday randomly. me and my office friends went to SM Makati to, take note of this, buy me an outfit for my club bureau gimik later that night. Aissa found "the" dress and "the" killer (literally) shoes. Paul, Mark, Lala and Angel were there to support. (sorry guys, even with the dress and shoes, walang booking!)

Club Bureau

Bottoms Up was the event. I was with HS and friend and some of their friends. Darn killer pointed shoes, i think my toes died a rather slow death that night.

in fairness, good music, really cute girls and not so many cute guys. sabi ni mark, kase daw straight guys mga nandun. hehe!

one conclusion: clubbing is really not for me.

you may click on this link to see a somewhat decent me.

tago

one good thing about keeping my blog private, is that it IS private.

this year's one hell of a rollercoaster ride for me. professionally, intellectually, socially, and most of all, emotionally. a rumble and tumble of had-beens, what-ifs and over-and-done-with.

i have sighed a million times than last year. i fell and is still falling.

but i am strong. my bestfriend had kept me just that. ria had believed that from the beginning that it makes me believe it myself. even if my heart feels otherwise.

again, i am afraid to show im hurting. but more terrified to know that i really am. i've never been so vulnerable in my life. but yet noone have penetrated.

i hope everything becomes better. and i hope it's soon... because i'm starting to doubt who i am already...

cravings

i've been looking for Bunny Sutra for the longest time. Not only is it a TOUCH swatch, it has cute bunnies in blue briefs and pink lingerie. yes, i know, it's such a silly watch. that's why i deserve it. :)

from what i've researched, it's almost faced out; and i'm afraid it's true. :( MY LAST CHANCE: duty free. good thing my dad's coming home this november. (crossing my fingers!)

of the 5 postsecret books collection released by frank warren, "a lifetime of secrets" and "the secret lives of men and women" are the 2 that i don't have. there are none in fully booked, none in powerbooks.

but they're in my shopping cart; once i received an email and/or text that they're on stock, off i go! kebs na sa bayad sa kuryente, ilaw at bahay. hehehe!

i'm still torn on which gaming console to buy. but survey says it is best to get the xbox 360. but then again, a certain special someone prefers the playstation 3. and my brother backs him up. should i get both? i have to sell my kidney to the black market if i plan to do that. thank God for giving us 2 kidneys :p

this book kills "men are from mars, women are from venus" i read a few snippets from the book nung tumambay ako ng national bookstore. i thought i was gonna get it last year (obviously, that didn't happen).

when you think about it, pwede ko naman sya basahin so loob ng bookstore. you know the feeling for a book, ung tipong you really want to finish reading it, pero okay lang if you can't own it. that's my stand for this book. unfortunately, with my work, i rarely have time to go out. hindi ko tuloy masulit ang open reading privileges sa fully booked. *insert heavy sigh here*

i am such a huge, and i mean HUGE Perry Mason fan. unfortunately, all i have of the Perry Mason series are e-books. even bargain book shops don't have Erle Stanley Gardner's bestselling series anymore. (.. queue in "pangarap ka na lang ba?" music on the background)

oh yes, this is just heaven. a taste bud orgasm. (thanking mackie for the announcement)

so far, this is the only thing i'm sure i can satisfy myself with. it's been 3 years since the last chocolate buffet in peninsula happened. and i definitely won't let this year pass without me gorging on these chocolates. kebs sa added pounds. kebs sa diabetes.

what gets me thru the day...

aside from chocolates and my psp,

are these people....

i've known them since forever.

we've been through flag ceremonies, class projects, field trips, school elections, proms, stalking-celebrities, cutting classes, UAAP rivalry, graduation problems, boyfriends, girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, stressful work, unsuccessful out of town plans and we still can't get enough of each other.

i trust them with my life. they can finish my sentences and man, i hate it when they are sooo right about me. and yes, they know me inside out, and they're still there. talk about pagtiyatiyaga!

*****

just when i thought i'll just breeze through my existence in PS and noone would take notice...

it's actually my whole FD family, but i have to play favorites. i just have to say that, as much hardships and stress that i have to go through to reach where i am now, it is definitely worth it. not only are they some of the smartest, most patient people i know, they are also a lot of fun. and i mean a LOT of fun.
