23 and a day old :)
September 18, 2008 – 5:52 pmI had to wear a dress and be all lady-like. Though I had no clue whatsoever where B will be taking me, I gleefuly indulged to his request. After passing by the old workplace and having Laguna Cheesecake with Noe, I was kidnapped by this Casablanca-inspired man for my birthday dinner. South.. where to south? To Sofitel's Spiral! I was just too thankful that I had Noe finish most of that cheesecake for me because last night, I had an excuse to be a little piggy :) [caption id="attachment_145" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Birthday Dinner, ultimate buffet"][/caption] Remember our HEAT dinner during our anniversary? That was cinch compared to Spiral's selection. Too bad for B and me, dieting made our tummies so small that only after a few trips to the stations, we had to call it a night. As expected, we feasted on salmons and steaks. Someone had a little too many lambchops and ...
Well, hello September!
September 10, 2008 – 3:07 pmThank goodness for Retz, he was able to recover the comments I accidentally deleted. Some, unfortunately, have crossed over to the oblivion. Anyway, it looks like I have more time to blog now since today (yes, TODAY) is my last day with TDP. I finally had the guts to quit and I can't wait to move forward. I'll surely miss my friends here. Mornings will never be the same without our 7am sorta potluck pantry breakfast and "i deserve to splurge" Starbucks hangouts. Like they say, some good things must come to an end.. Only to make enough space for the bigger and better opportunities. I shall miss these...

August 31, 2008 – 8:14 pm"I woke up with a song in my head, but i forgot to write it... all i had was the fading melody, moving my hands to this" you know that feeling of waking up from a perfectly beautiful dream? Though the gist dissipates before you completely recall it, the lingering memory of that first conscious smile inspires you just enough to create something beautiful to remember it by. Last Friday, i reached for a small notepad and pencil from the bedside and made this~ It's a photo I saw in an old Ateneo yearbook. B's in gradeschool then but the "villar" chin stuck right out making identifying him easier. haha. Drew this from memory, then later compared it with the real version. unbelievable. i know it's no artistic breakthrough or product but here's the thing--- i don't draw, sketch nor paint ! Noe saw this and encouraged me to take it further. After all, "art's ...
reached Plurking Nirvana?
August 10, 2008 – 7:36 pmIs this a glitch? Today, i am told that i've reached Plurking Nirvana: Let's just see if that badge stays after 24hours.. according to Plurk's definitions: I swear, Plurk is as demanding as a paranoig and possessive boyfriend! but demmit, that yin-yang sure looks good in my page!
because *Waking Up* is hard to do…
August 9, 2008 – 11:47 amGrrr, I've been having sleeping problems lately. My body's just not adjusting well to schedule changes. Now that I'm working out again, the need for a more realistic day routine's becoming so apparent. My sister got in Mandarin Oriental's MT program, translation: thats an hour and a half with 20 minutes of walking if she's gonna commute all the way. Bringing a car has never been an option for the 2 of us either specially with the rising prices of gas and parking. We're seriously considering getting a rented place instead. Right now we're still figuring the economics of that move. It's always been a plan of mine to live independently before I reach 25- not in a dorm or anything funded by my folks, but from hard work. Let's see what happens. Who knows, in the next 2-3 months, I might be blogging from another address. So what do I do now ...
888!
August 8, 2008 – 3:29 pmHow has the magical 8-8-08 been so far? The day has been charming for me, thank goodness. Yesterday, one close friend almost had a heart attack from fright... of me! They duped me over a stupid prank that did everything but make anyone laugh. What a waste of good brain cells! I had my piece about the whole ordeal and heaved a sigh as a sign of "i'm done". In fairness, I finally got the Shu Uemura eyelash curlers last night. Half the price in Taiwan, and free for Appsie. hahaha! would've worked as a peace offering though he really meant to give it to me before they did that dumb joke. Anyway, i woke up to a great day despite last night's fiasco. Batting my now oh-so-curly lashes, i said hello to 8-8-8! There's a lot of things I should be thankful for. one, I work regular dayshift hours which means I ...
on love and movies
August 1, 2008 – 11:20 amForget about having your man grilled by the entire family. A harana or chopping firewood for your grandparents both are also very old school. I’ve discovered a modern twist to these “test of love” methods. Invite your howe to something he detests… like… Cheesy Tagalog movies! I couldn’t believe B when he told me before that he’s never gone into a movie house for something local. Indie, Classics- to my surprise, he doesn’t have a thing for those too. So, I dared him to watch a Pinoy film with me. Haha! He answered too soon with that “Yes” and didn’t realize the trouble he’s got himself into. Along with Chetty and Rj, we went to see “A Very Special Love” last night. The whole time, B sunk in his seat while the masa crowd applauded and cringed at expected scenes. Hahaha! Priceless! Movie wasn’t so bad, we didn’t really expect much from ...
gone kawaii
July 23, 2008 – 3:20 pmDoesn’t it bring you joy when the two people you love are getting along so well? Best bru’s on a vacation here from Japan. I was able to introduce her to Rj, the guy ‘best’ bud. (*because ’best’ is a concept we invent! hehe) They hit it off right away. Good vibes all over, fantastic! Chetty and I met in St. Paul while Rj’s been bugging me since 2nd grade. Haha, joke lang bro! I’m the happiest and silliest girl right now because of this, fun-fun-fun. We made Rj sing and fooled around a game center last night, here are our cute perikura photos: TimeZone’s booths are the older kind- no IR transfer for phones. Boooo. The stylus also magically disappeared- some punk’s idea of “cool” probably. Next stop is Cebu and Bohol next month. Yeays. Oh, and they went out today without me! Hmmm. :p We’re often told that our friends are ...
