new look!
again! june just fixed the whole thing so it's lookin' good. :)
please don't bring me to a mall again, i'm turning out to be one of the worst impulsive shoppers i've ever known... :( oh and don't bring me to powerbooks either, i think i'm more than willing to spend all my money on books. TOO MANY books i'm dying to read.
and too many clothes i'm dying to wear. what's wrong with me?

lonely planet meets confessions of a shopaholic
got home last night. all in all, i think i spent about 80% of my entire time in davao just shopping. it was crazy! i don't even know how much i have left, i was just buying so many stuff, pasalubong and all the clothes on sale i could get my hands on! haha exag... nah but i really shopped hard the last two days. and it was goooood. i swear, it was such a stress-reliever for me. good thing i'm not the type of person who is so uptight when it comes to spending. uh-oh. which means i'd always be shopping from now on to relieve stress. haha. i seem to have some unfelt hatred for money or something. davao has such good buys, although most of my shopping i did at sm since i was stuck there most of the time. there's this store called artwork that was on sale, and they sold really cute logo shirts so i thought, go get 'em tiger! they were selling them for as low as 86something pesos so i was getting handfuls of 'em haha! and i bought this really cute white slip-ons. and finally! i was able to buy a new pair of pants! found the perfect fit at penshoppe so i just went for it since i've been looking through all the stores and found none that i liked. the last day of the promo was a bit tiring, but it's all good since it was the end, had dinner at the hotel that night and i was just sooo eager to try on all the clothes i bought. haha how vain can you get?! about 3/4 of all the stuff i bought are for me.
the next day, our flight wasn't until that evening so bash and i decided to see the sights of davao. well this particular beach anyway. but before that, i did most of my last-minute pasalubong shopping. i went to ukay-ukay somewhere farther down the road from where the hotel is, and i was just walking the whole stretch and felt like i was doing my very own episode of the lonely planet! haha, all that i needed was a videocam and i'm all show. *wink* really felt very independent and street-smart type of gal exploring all by myself, considering i'm literally in the middle of nowhere in my book, and about 10 regions away from home. didn't buy much in ukay, but i did find this uber nice mini skirt, plaid and all that looks so much like a schoolgirl type of uniform for only 70pesos! and it's even from mossimo, so i was just really WHOA. for 70pesos... not bad! after that, i went for the real buys. there's this row of stores selling malongs and shawls right in front of the hotel, and i totally loved them so i got as many as i could. err well, just for the people i'd be giving pasalubongs to. the shawls looked really fabulous, so we started calling them "fabulous shawls". and they come in different colors too! i got a baby pink one, and bought one for michel (orange), my mom (maroon), myra (green), june (fuschia pink), and my lola (beige). i bought all sorts of choker for bok, and bought this really cool-looking malong for my dad, handcrafted and all from cotabato. bought other ordinary-looking malongs for whoever else would want them, i don't even know why i bought 'em in the first place. ah things you do with money.
that afternoon, bash and i checked out of the hotel and decided to do some serious davao sight-seeing. we were headed for this island resort about 45 minutes away at most *when taking a cab and a ferry boat* called paradise island. it was beautiful. completely breathtaking. well it's probably not like boracay or palawan, but it was definitely a sight to behold, considering that it doesn't cost much to get in. the water was so clear, and the semi-white sand was as soft as polvoron. too bad i didn't have a suit with me, i was dying to plunge in! i walked by the shore and collected seashells instead. the sun was really to die for, if i had a suit on, i'd definitely be all tanned up by now. rats. why didn't i buy one when i was fitting them in the mall already? argh argh argh. had lunch by the beach, and went back at around 330pm since we were set to leave the hotel at 4. when we got back, even MORE last minute shopping, haha can't get enough of it can i? i have a new weakness. i shouldn't have gotten my per diem AND salary at the same time. i was wreaking financial havoc on myself. *shakes head and sighs*
super tired when i got home. but it was a good flight, i got to sit by the window! hahaha. the view of the city at night was fantastic! i loved it, although at some point of the flight, i felt like my ears were going to explode! haha it didn't, thank god. still got my auditory senses running ok.
next stop: galera. this coming weekend. ooh boy, this is one very expensive month. but that's ok, it's worth every penny. i'm having the time of my budding career/twenty-something life at the mo'! and now, i really have an excuse to buy myself a new suit! *wink*
tonight, watched the premiere of the grudge with my sister and brother at megamall. i swear. i don't know what state of mind i'm in that i decided to watch that movie. i ended up having my eyes closed and screaming my lungs out for half of the film. useless. argh super scary, how am i gonna sleep now?
WHY DID I EVEN BOTHER TO WATCH THAT??? WHY???????
hate horror films. hate 'em hate 'em hate 'em. now am really scaredy-cat. boo.

23 October 2004
all the way from davaoooooo
i'm here in davao at the moment. flew in yesterday at around 7am, the flight was at 5am, so i was at the airport as early as 330 am! crazy! i had to wake up at 2am just to get ready, which means i only had about 2 hours of sleep! haha. anyways, i met up with kesler at the airport at 330, and we did the airport stuff that obviously, i'm not really familiar with considering this is my first time to fly. we passed time at this cafe smoking, and there's even this really cute caucasian guy wandering within our midst, which of course me and kesler just had to check out. he was headed to cagayan de oro. rats!
we boarded at around 430 am, and i swear i felt like such a little child because i really felt giddy just stepping inside the plane! it was just like how it is in the movies. hahaha! anyways, kes and i had different seats, good thing mine was almost by the window, i could still see outside. it was so beautiful, rolling clouds everywhere. the trip took approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. when we got to davao, i could already see the view from the top, and it was breathtaking. mountains everywhere, lush green fields. i don't know if it looks as beautiful down there as it looks from 22,000 feet above sea level though. but it really looks wonderful. i couldn't help straining my neck to get a better view, my seatmate was looking at me queerly. haha, don't care. my first time so sue me.
we arrived in davao and went to marco polo hotel *where we're staying*. i had to wake up bash since we'll be staying in the same room, and i really wanted to rest a bit before we do the HP sale at sm davao. well i did, i was able to sleep for about an hour, had breakfast, and off we went for real biz ish. was at the mall the entire day! really tiring considering i barely had any sleep. for most of the time when i'm not in the booth, i went windowshopping, and was on the lookout for new pants since i've been wanting to buy a new one. and it turned out to be really depressing! i was trying on SMALL-sized pants, and i didn't fit in any of them ANYMORE!! i couldn't believe it, at one point, i wanted to cry out of exasperation! i didn't fit in SMALL anymore?? SMALL! gawd i've been in SMALL sizes for my entire life! i know i'm gaining weight but i never imagined it was gonna be this consequential! well nothing i can really do, i didn't get to buy pants in the end. i ended up buying instead, a cheek-slash-lip stain at body shop which was on a 50% off. since i've always wanted a cheek stain to complete my kikay kit, i thought what the hell! it's slashed half the price. i mean normally it would cost about 600+pesos, but i bought for about 300+. teehee.
so we ended the day, ate at this crab restaurant, and another first for me! i was able to eat crab!!! i never ate crab in my life, and this time i had no choice since that was the only thing they ordered. hey i'm not complaining, food was for free! so i did, and it was yummy. really yummy. we got home, finally! went to ms anna and ms carol's hotel room to smoke with kesler. kes wanted me to settle something at the front desk so i took off, but promised to come back. it got settled anyway, knowing my problem-solving and crisis-managing skills *wink* i went back to the hotel room and took a bath first (with usher playing at the background because bash was saying how there was a ghost and everything and wouldn't let me hear the end of it) and bash went downstairs to anna and carol's room. after taking a bath, headed down myself (i realized i even left my bag in their room) had a smoke and a can of beer and just talked for a while. it got a little late and i REALLY wanted to get some shuteye already so i decided to go back to my room to sleep. although i had a hard time sleeping because bash was just soooooo annoying. he wouldn't let me sleep, would even strike silly conversations even if i was slumped in bed and he knew i was trying to sleep and all. well i zonked out eventually (with usher singing me to sleep nyaha :)
so there, today, still a crazy day. getting really tired, good thing we end the sale at 7pm so that gives us a wee bit time to relax a little. i'm going home on monday night, which gives me time to explore davao!!! yahoo! i really wanted to hit the beach, though i think that's gonna be out of the plan. i think we're going to some island or something... samal island? whatever, to see mt apo. that should be interesting. and by the way, i realize the smell of durian is really horrible. i always think there's spoiled food nearby. how can people actually EAT that? that is definitely beyond me.
good news though. june and i are really going to galera next weekend!!! hahaha this is by far the best month! going out every weekends :) she found a place in galera that's really affordable, and we're already reserved. HOPEFULLY nothing comes up, and i mean NOTHING comes up the following weekend because that is gonna be MY weekend. i'm gonna go unwind in the sand and swim and be one with the ocean. gawd can't wait. ooh have to shop for bathing suit. have to lose weight too. argh.
oh yeah, was able to get a glimpse of the ocean, as i formerly wished. right outside the hotel room. beautiful :)

i'm going to davao!!!! i'm gonna ride a plane!!!
i'm going to davao this weekend!!! yeah yeah yeah!!! this will be my first time ever to ride a plane! isn't that just sooooo cool? i'm sorry, i can't help gushing, i'm so excited. :)
i found that out last monday, and of course, it's not gonna be a problem with my mom. she knows that i'm CRAZY about travelling, so when i asked her *it was more like when i told her* that i was going for 4 days, she was just "ok." hahaha i love my mom!
and i love my work! i'm still thanking God for allowing me to go to davao, i've been praying for this hahaha ;)
anyways, i've had a SUPER crazy week.... my bosses found this blog, my fault actually. but the thing is, they've read the entries, which means i'm basically dead now considering all that i've been writing about the past months. grrr. it's all good though.... it just feels a little queer, them knowing what goes on in my head. and i thought i was beginning to be secretive, for once in my life. SO... that's why i changed my blog address.... hahaha i feel like i'm so dead! it's like revealing my most innermost secrets to people i was hiding the secrets from in the first place. funny.
sheesh.
anyways, can't wait for the weekend, though i know once i get there, i'm gonna be working non-stop at the mall for the HP event. but who cares!! i'll be in sunny sunny davao! hope i get a glimpse of the beach, even just a little.

nice day, nice night. NOT nice truth...
was out the entire day today! just got home, and am really excited the way the night turned out so really wanted to blog it.
i went out with stones 4 barkada today, went to greenbelt lang and hung out. myra went here first thing in the morning so we could go there together. when we got to glorietta, i was looking for a globe station where i can have my sim upgraded because it's been fuckin' up really badly lately. well i wasn't able to find one in glorietta so we decided to go to greenbelt already and meet up with some people. grace, tikya, mars and mons were at cafe bola already *cafe bola again... i'm starting to see a trend here...* and that's where we ate lunch. i had my sim upgraded after all, there was a globe station at the top floor, thank goodness. after that we hung out at starbucks, i treated myra to caramel frap, we're starting this silly thing wherein those of us who have work are obliged to treat those who don't, kinda like buddy system, and myra's my buddy so i did. hehehe it was obviously for fun, but wanted to treat her anyway. incy came, and we even heard mass. then after the mass, becky and fran arrived, so wow! that's almost all of us right there!
anyways, we were deciding where to eat for dinner when zig texted asking if it was still ok to meet up that night. well i was thinking, i was already there at greenbelt, might as well since i know he lives around that area anyway. we were having dinner at recipes, and myra just HAD to announce to everybody i was having a "date" that night. everyone was totally being silly because i had no idea what he looked like now and they were all making fun of people passing by *especially those that looked really... ugh!*, incy was even making this huge arrow with my name on it. well i met up with him just when myra and i were on our way to the CR, he called me up on my cell and it was just cool. honestly, i don't seem to remember him at all, but he was really nice actually.
*oh gosh i just have to share this.... usher has a video of the song my boo with alicia keys! my first time to see it!!*
so there, we met up, and i said farewell to stones 4 people. zig and i had dinner at this italian resto called pomodoro, and the food was good. i broke my diet again!!! well there, we were just talking, and it wasn't so awkward at all, he's so fun talking to. after that, we watched shark tale, and man was it funny!! haven't had a good laugh for sometime now. after that, we had dessert at mark brenner, like this cafe where they serve mostly CHOCOLATES!! oh man it was so sinful! i will definitely be back there soon, the chocolate rocked! and there, more talking, mostly about sorry lovelives this time haha ;) and it was getting pretty late so he took me home. very nice night to a very nice day.
oh and yeah, about the earth-shattering truth i've learned today... i saw my old friend at greenbelt, we were in the same org back in college. it was soooo good to see him again, haven't seen him for years! literally! well, for about 2 years. anyways, the first time i saw him, we were on our way to the theaters, and we hugged really tightly, i couldn't believe it was him! then the 2nd time i spotted him, i noticed he was with a group of not-so-straight men... i kidded him and i was pointing at the guys and was like, "di ka naman siguro ganyan noh?" and he was like, "di mo pa ba alam?" OMIGOSH!!! i couldn't help it, i was really shocked, i dragged him away for a while *excused myself politely from zig of course* and was just asking him all sorts of questions. man i was hysterical for a bit, i couldn't believe it! OH MY GAWD.... i ended up telling him how i was so in love with him before, we were really close back then. i'm sure it wouldn't make a difference now, but still. it felt really weird. i was actually IN LOVE with him! he was just laughing because i was so shocked about it. i wish it wasn't true though, i really LOVED that guy! hahaha! well anyways, nothing i can do now, i guess. zig took me home after, and i was still in a state of shock. haha, was shaking my head when i think about it. talking mostly on the way home, so that kinda took my mind off things for a while. and here i am, back at home, out all day and very tired. my right shoulder is still killing me, something must be seriously wrong, i hope nothing's dislocated or something because it's still so painful! i can't twist it for all the life of me. argh.
there, nice day, nice night. bad truth though. oh don't get me wrong, as much as my knowlege of gayness is getting wider, it just peeves me that the people i actually LIKED or currently like would turn out to be one. great. what's left for us huh? WHAT IS LEFT???
oh don't even bother to answer.

oh and yeah, about the earth-shattering truth i've learned today... i saw my old friend at greenbelt, we were in the same org back in college. it was soooo good to see him again, haven't seen him for years! literally! well, for about 2 years. anyways, the first time i saw him, we were on our way to the theaters, and we hugged really tightly, i couldn't believe it was him! then the 2nd time i spotted him, i noticed he was with a group of not-so-straight men... i kidded him and i was pointing at the guys and was like, "di ka naman siguro ganyan noh?" and he was like, "di mo pa ba alam?" OMIGOSH!!! i couldn't help it, i was really shocked, i dragged him away for a while *excused myself politely from zig of course* and was just asking him all sorts of questions. man i was hysterical for a bit, i couldn't believe it! OH MY GAWD.... i ended up telling him how i was so in love with him before, we were really close back then. i'm sure it wouldn't make a difference now, but still. it felt really weird. i was actually IN LOVE with him! he was just laughing because i was so shocked about it. i wish it wasn't true though, i really LOVED that guy! hahaha! well anyways, nothing i can do now, i guess. zig took me home after, and i was still in a state of shock. haha, was shaking my head when i think about it. talking mostly on the way home, so that kinda took my mind off things for a while. and here i am, back at home, out all day and very tired. my right shoulder is still killing me, something must be seriously wrong, i hope nothing's dislocated or something because it's still so painful! i can't twist it for all the life of me. argh.
there, nice day, nice night. bad truth though. oh don't get me wrong, as much as my knowlege of gayness is getting wider, it just peeves me that the people i actually LIKED or currently like would turn out to be one. great. what's left for us huh? WHAT IS LEFT???
oh don't even bother to answer.

"oh my gosh i'm gonna die! oh no, not yet..."
i must've said that to myself about 50 times tonight.
for the nth day, i was all alone at the office again. hey, i'm not complaining, it's actually kinda cool, though of course it's unbelievably lonely to be totally all by myself. my playmates and bosses are somewhere else. *sigh* i feel so neglected... not! hahaha. i was the boss of me the entire day.
though kinda frustrating because i feel like i'm not so productive lately. well i've already accomplished early on what needed to be done before everyone flies out-of-town, so i guess it's ok to lax for now. still, it was really lonesome there. well it's ok, i was online the entire day!
anyways, that night, i had to meet up with a talent to hand over his talent fee all the way in malate then meet up with maxie at sm manila to hand over the package bash had sent from cebu. it was so heavy! or i'm probably just not that fit anymore as i used to be. i was walking in malate trying to find where the shop is where JM *talent's name* works, and i was catching my breath the whole time. the stuff was too heavy, i just thought at some point i was gonna faint or make a really dramatic scene like that. hehe (sheepishly) but i didn't, which saved me from utter humiliation, thank god. well i met up with JM eventually, and he was so nice. good-looking too *well duh, he ain't called a model for nuthin' right?* i stopped to have a cigarette after, and was talking to this old lady who was selling them just to pass time. she didn't talk much though. i took a cab to sm manila because i couldn't walk any further anymore with all that stuff i was carrying. the taxi driver was a prick, he bought cigarettes while we were stuck in traffic, then when we got to sm and i was paying 70 pesos for a 55 peso-fare, he acted like a complete dick saying he didn't have change and i should've told him beforehand that I didn't have change so he would've known or something insane like that. he took my 50 pesos and was like "sige eto na lang kahit lugi ako." i couldn't help but scoff at him, i was like "manong, problema nyo magbigay ng tamang sukli. eh hindi dapat kayo bumili ng yosi, kayo tuloy nalugi." SUPER BIATCH STRIKES AGAIN! HAHAHAHA. pricks like that deserve a big telling-off, they never know who they're dealing with. *wink*
met up with maxie and tita lily, maxie even treated me with a strawberry frap. gave them all the cebu goodies. funny incident: i brought out all the dried mangoes from my bag and placed them on the table, and this guy came up to us and was like "how much?" hahaha he thought we were selling them! i was just like "no, we're not selling." and he was completely embarassed! couldn't blame him though, it was a lot of dried mangoes, much to my delight. :)
am watching charlie's angels: full throttle at the mo'. girls who kick ass are royal! LOVE 'EM! and im meeting up with stones 4 high school friends tomorrow so that should be fun :)
oh yeah my date is cancelled for tomorrow. serendipity guy texted that some family friends are flying in tomorrow, saying he'll just make it up to me. yeah, that is if i still feel like going out after this *wink* for some reason, i'm actually relieved. that's one less stress this weekend!
now anastasia is playing on disney channel! i LOVE this cartoon! my favorite cartoon movie, next to beauty and the beast of course ;)

new layout
i'm so bored *again* today that i decided to update practically all my links on the net. and tada! notice the new layout for my blog? hahaha sorry it's still sickeningly pink, i LURVE this color!
nothing exciting, just wanna say that today's the day i changed my blog layout. also, the dates and time of the previous posts are incorrect since i also updated the time to asia/manila timezone, so it sorta updated itself. whatever, that sounded really labo. hmm, i have my first ever ringback tune, this coolness rap song by krook and jolo, sometimes life goes wrong, that cost a whopping 30 freakin' pesos. geez, it's a complete waste of money, i know.
june is still in bora and making me jealous like hell. hmp. but we're really really planning to go to galera at the end of this month. yey! vacation yum yum. ooh gotta work the abs.
haaayy i'm IN LOVE with gael garcia bernal! he is H-O-T and i love 'im. *sigh*

bored today
i'm all alone here at the office again. and i still have the decency and the time to blog. hehehe.
june is going to boracay today. i'm so J-E-A-L-O-U-S!!! argh. i wanna go with her. even all the people here at work are going to cebu. why oh why??? why am i the only one always left here??? isn't it ironic that i'm the one who's dying to travel and go places and yet i'm the one who's so tied down at one place? if that even makes sense, i'm typing kinda fast coz i have a million things to do this afternoon, and i have no clue where to begin. stupid checks. i hate money.
i think i'm going to baguio though, i'm going to replace stef as project manager. hoo-ha. and the funny thing is, i have no idea what the freak he does. i just know that i'm supposed to be coordinating with media people regarding ad placements and whatnot, but not like what he does. good luck. i wish they'll send me to davao too. *crossing fingers*
i took a test on whether or not i'm a geek, and here are the results!
YOU ARE 10 % GEEK !
You wanna be a geek. But you are not. Why would you even want to be one. You think it's fun? Try writing an online test application at 1 am in your underwear.
hahaha. and another test on my boobies' names! they're called bambi and thumper. wtf??? oh my GAWRSH!!! my boobies have names! AM SOO BORED!!!!! i wanna go shopping. argh.
there's a quote that made me smile :) from my favoritest comic character, calvin from calvin & hobbes, that i read in the newspaper today:
Paul Gauguin asked, "Whence do we come? What are we? Where are we going?"
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I came from my room, I'm a kid with big plans, and I'm going outside. See ya later!... Say, who the heck is Paul Gauguin anyway?

i think i have a date
i think i'm going out with a guy on saturday. omigosh. i haven't had a date for MONTHS! i mean, it feels like ages actually. my serendipity guy asked me out again, and this time, i had the decency to say yes, because he's been wanting to take me out since... summer? gosh, have i been a total bitch to him for that long? ok, well this time, i do want to go out with him already, so i really do hope this turns out fine. and now i'm really nervous! i mean, it's ok going out alone with male friends, at least i know them and they know me, but this one's kinda surreal because we've met only ONCE, and that's like almost a year ago. gosh, whatever. we're meeting up saturday night, and oh man i wish i wouldn't have the jitters. i hate dating.

y tu mama tambien
saturday oct 9 // i was finally able to watch the film. y tu mama tambien (and your mother too). it was sooo good! diego luna and gael garcia-bernal were totally, completely GORGEOUS! the story was crazy, but it was really well-thought of, i must say. a bit orgasmic, the sex scenes were really rough, but it made the story all the more real. so nice. i couldn't stop thinking about it the entire day, how i wished julio and tenoch remained friends after that trip. i felt so frustrated. it was a nice story about friendship, julio and tenoch are crazy! but anyways, i won't spoil much, just saying it's hella good for an art film. i'm not much of an art film fan, but i know a good art film when i see one. i think the good ones are the ones that don't complicate the story much, because c'mon, not everyone thinks deep and philosophizes on stuff. hehe, i have such a bad impression of art films so pardon me.
that afternoon, jp asked me to swing by the nbc tent at the fort because HP was having an exhibit there and jp wanted me to see how it goes. it was around 4pm that time, and the exhibit ends at 730, so i zoomed my way there. good thing i have my allowance already, i went there by cab because i absolutely have no idea how to get to the fort via commute. the cab driver didn't know where the fort is, so i was really trying to contain my frustration because he drove farther than he was supposed to, so i ended up paying more. argh. anyways, i arrived in one piece, which is the more important thing, and it was really very techie at the exhibit. jp just wanted me to observe how everything goes with the HP trade-in promo *i think it's because they're gonna make me go to baguio this november to help out with the event... YES!!!* so jp really wanted me to acquaint myself with the whole process. not bad, i think i just need to read up on HP printers to be able to supervise the customers. anyways, there was a funny incident also. jp was able to spot this REALLY cute promo guy at the samsung booth and decided to recruit him for MG. he wanted me to meet him so he dared me to come up to the guy and introduce myself, make chika, the usual. haha, it was crazy. i ended up talking to the guy a bit longer, and he was really cute up close. although.... i think he's GAY! i SWEAR!!! it's totally unbelievable. i'm starting to wish I were gay, i seem to be drawn to gay men anyways. so there, his name is jericho something, and he is hot... and gay.
jp then invited me to eat at go nuts donuts so we started walking outside. as usual, there was like a million people at go nuts, so we decided to eat at mcdo instead. we were just walking, and the wind was really crisp and cool. i swear if jp was straight, i would've fallen in love with him that moment. hahaha. it was so cool just talking to him about stuff, jp is such a smart guy with a lot of things to say. and it was cooler to be talking about stuff outside of work. that gay is so swanked with men, hahaha. so another day, i broke my diet plan again. when we got back, stefan and bash were already there, and i went with them to the office because they had to get all the stuff they need for cebu and davao *the lucky bastards will be gone for 2 whole weeks. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!* and when we got back to the tent, all the equipment were just being loaded up this big truck to be shipped to cebu. i went to dinner with the HP executives with kesler, and i was the youngest there. hahaha. eew, i so felt totally out of place, they were all just talking oldie stuff. but it was all good, i think they're all really nice. plus, they're the BIG bosses, so i really had to be prim and proper during that time.
when kesler and i got back, the loading was almost done, and jp invited us to eat again. i swear, it was the 3rd time!! i couldn't believe it. my body is totally out of shape. we ate at trio because apparently, bash didn't have dinner yet. i just ordered something sweet, this sinful chocolate cake i couldn't finish because it was too sweet beyond description. we ended up talking some more, jp talking about business and giving his usual pieces of advice on how to make it big. we ended at around midnight, and bash and i just cabbed our way home. he paid for the fare, hehehe :) i ended up watching y tu mama tambien again, i can't help it, it's SOOO good. i love julio and tenoch, really i do. i certainly wouldn't mind a threesome with those two HAHAHAHAHA!
there's this uber nice quote from that movie that i'd like to share:

when earthquakes strike
tonight, i met up with june at greenbelt at around 7pm. i promised to buy her a box of go nuts donuts since i still owe her for not meeting up with her and libby at megamall way back. anyways, we ate dinner at cafe bola *i notice i've been eating at cafe bola quite frequently lately...* and just caught up on stuff. not that we haven't been talking for a while, we practically talk every night on the phone. anyways, had my favorite adobo flakes with white cheese and shoestring potatoes. argh, didn't follow my diet for today. well it's all good, what's one day right? she lent me y tu mama tambien dvd, which i've been wanting to watch for the longest time. after that, we just walked around the mall to burn the cals, and i ended up buying this white bag at the tiangge stores. june is the perfect shopping partner! she spotted the bag, and it was only for 150 pesos, and i've always wanted a white tote bag, so i thought "to hell with it, i'm buying this one!" hehe. i love shopping. and, there's this sex and the city trivia game at hobbes, for about Php 1,680 or something. argh!! i want that!!! myra bought a friends trivia game for only $10 in the states, and that's only about Php 500++. argh. nevertheless, i plan to buy one for christmas, i have to have that SATC collectible!
we walked some more, and decided to have dessert at seattle's best coffee *that's usually where brent hangs out, but according to myra, he's in singapore at the moment. hahaha talk about stalking!* anyways, june let me have a smoke, because i begged her i'd only have one stick. i was drinking strawberry milkshake *it was the best! oh no, more sweets...* and we were doing much more talking and actually, we were in okray mode that time. plus, there were absolutely gays everywhere!! i swear, i'd spot a cute guy who would turn out to be gay. i mean come on, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE METRO WHO IS SINGLE, CUTE AND NOT GAY?? i can really do away with one. so there, gays were everywhere, beautiful caucasian and not-so-caucasian people everywhere. at around 11pm, an earthquake struck! at first june and i fell silent, i thought i was just getting dizzy but the ground was definitely shaking! suddenly it wasn't just us, there really was an earthquake, and people started filing out of the restaurants *we were outside seattle's best*. it went for about a minute or so, and i really felt nauseated after. haha, talk about misadventures. so life went on after that, people partied like nothing happened. it was getting late so june and i decided to call it a day... or night.
*sigh* if only those gorgeous gays were straight, there'd be a lot more happy women everywhere. :/

07 October 2004
so not cool.
i had the most unfortunate experience that no professional careerperson should imitate under any circumstances.
i woke up late (as usual) because i was to pass by robinson's place first to get some papers as per noni's request. since the mall opens at 10, i thought i could sleep in extra later. so i did, and i ended up sleeping rather longer. anyhow, that's nothing new, i ALWAYS have trouble waking up in the morning. it was my 2nd day of PMS so read: menstrual cramps. i went to RP to get the papers, and i was having the hardest time walking because my cramps were really bad. so i took a cab to get the office. there was this newspaper placement needed for tomorrow, but there was still no confirmation. i was kinda hoping it wouldn't push through, but it did, so come 2pm, i was totally under pressure already. it was raining, and i took off at around 230, to meet a deadline at 3. cool. 30 minutes to fly all the way from makati to port area where the philippine star is. i only had 120 pesos left, but since i really needed to make it in time, i decided to take a cab. big mistake. i ended up paying the entire amount i had left, so that leaves me with absolutely NO money at all. i mean, i just had my salary yesterday, and i have no money! i had to call my mom to pick me up where i was, and call the office to tell them that i couldn't make it back since (a) it was really traffic, and (b) i had no means to go back. gawd i totally feel like such a loser! good thing my boss kinda let me off the hook, and my mom was able to fetch me.
anyways, michel and my lola also came along for the ride. michel had to go to the doctor to have her eyes checked. then after we went to binondo for my lola, then ate at this chinese dimsum restaurant. ooh i forgot to say i have a diet plan! after-6 diet! well i've started yesterday, so it's only been 2 days. but i guess this could be the only plan that would work, since it doesn't involve any exercise, and i can eat all i want only before 6. hmm, not that i eat that much, i'm really cutting down on sweets now. i really hope this works! i need to lose a couple of pounds before christmas, since i know i'll be pigging out again during that time.
anyways, it was really horrendous... my afternoon. and i have this worry that i did the placement wrong. ugh. i don't feel so good today. hope tomorrow's a good day.
stupid PMS. >:(
i woke up late (as usual) because i was to pass by robinson's place first to get some papers as per noni's request. since the mall opens at 10, i thought i could sleep in extra later. so i did, and i ended up sleeping rather longer. anyhow, that's nothing new, i ALWAYS have trouble waking up in the morning. it was my 2nd day of PMS so read: menstrual cramps. i went to RP to get the papers, and i was having the hardest time walking because my cramps were really bad. so i took a cab to get the office. there was this newspaper placement needed for tomorrow, but there was still no confirmation. i was kinda hoping it wouldn't push through, but it did, so come 2pm, i was totally under pressure already. it was raining, and i took off at around 230, to meet a deadline at 3. cool. 30 minutes to fly all the way from makati to port area where the philippine star is. i only had 120 pesos left, but since i really needed to make it in time, i decided to take a cab. big mistake. i ended up paying the entire amount i had left, so that leaves me with absolutely NO money at all. i mean, i just had my salary yesterday, and i have no money! i had to call my mom to pick me up where i was, and call the office to tell them that i couldn't make it back since (a) it was really traffic, and (b) i had no means to go back. gawd i totally feel like such a loser! good thing my boss kinda let me off the hook, and my mom was able to fetch me.
anyways, michel and my lola also came along for the ride. michel had to go to the doctor to have her eyes checked. then after we went to binondo for my lola, then ate at this chinese dimsum restaurant. ooh i forgot to say i have a diet plan! after-6 diet! well i've started yesterday, so it's only been 2 days. but i guess this could be the only plan that would work, since it doesn't involve any exercise, and i can eat all i want only before 6. hmm, not that i eat that much, i'm really cutting down on sweets now. i really hope this works! i need to lose a couple of pounds before christmas, since i know i'll be pigging out again during that time.
*sigh* and one more thing i'm kinda bummer about is i won't be able to watch alicia keys in concert!! she's coming to town this weekend, and i was all set to go! it just sucks that i can't find someone to go with me, i feel SO bad. that's A. Keys. fine. usher's coming to town next month, so i guess i could just save up for him. BUT I WANNA WATCH THEM BOTH!!! life is sooooo unfair.
anyways, it was really horrendous... my afternoon. and i have this worry that i did the placement wrong. ugh. i don't feel so good today. hope tomorrow's a good day.

laughtrip / foodtrip all night, all day :)
saturday/oct 2... i woke up really early because i had to accompany 2 of our talents to solar entertainment for an interview regarding this competition. it ended before lunch, and i went to glorietta first because i wanted to buy a my sassy girl dvd to watch at myra's place that afternoon. went with carisse (one of our female talents) because she was gonna meet up with her boyfriend, but we went separate ways after. i got home at around 1pm, so i decided to lax for a while, then went on my way to myra's at around 4. it was surreal at monumento! there were just so many people, not that i'm not used to it, i've been so used to quiapo to get freaked out by environments like that. anyways, it was a miracle i didn't get lost on my way. anyways, i arrived at around 5pm, and we just basically hung out. i let her watch win a date with tad hamilton, which i think she could totally relate to. after that, we watched another good movie girl next door, which was really hilarious! we were just eating and watching dvd's, so to speak. it was really nice, we ended staying up really late and REALLY laughing our asses off. hahaha! drooling over brent javier the whole time, and talked about life in general while drinking smirnoff's mudslide and smoking (well i was, anyway). it was really relieving to talk about so many stuff with her, i felt like so much stuff has been lifted off me... talking about our worries about jobs, about the serious stuff we're not ready to face, how time is really catching up on us, how we miss school, how it sucks in the "real" world, how gorgeous and dreamy brent javier is... and uhm... more brent javier. hahaha :) even as we slept at around 430am, we were just laughing and talking about brent. hahaha! talk about groupies!
today, we woke up at around noon, and just watched the prince and me, and i just prepared to go home after. hay, it was so much fun, it's much better than hanging out in malls, at least i didn't get to spend a cent, except for my transportation home of course. so fun, and i kept eating like there was no tomorrow.
speaking of, my weight problem is getting even worse!!! i really have gained pounds, i'm starting to notice that my arms are getting bigger. not to mention my still growing tummy... I'M TOTALLY OUT OF SHAPE!!!! i mean, how am i gonna be able to wear a 2-piece suit on a beach now? to think i've been planning of beach escapades lately. argh. my eating habits are just getting worse. and i still haven't figured out a good diet plan or exercise to keep fit. well the exercise part is still questionable, considering i can't even keep my breathing steady while WALKING, much more doing extra strenuous activities. but will have to try. no pain no gain. with the eating, i think i have to cut down on rice and sweets, because that's what i've been indulging myself in so much. hay, this has got to work. i've been looking at pictures taken just a few months ago and i was THIN, now when i look at myself in the mirror, i can't see that skinny girl anymore. :( i want her back!!!
june and i are planning a beach getaway this weekend. i hope this pulls through!! this is just the escape i need from ALL the hustles and bustles. the one thing that would satisfy me right now is to see a tanline around my neck. haha. how vain.
oh gawd. it's like 80-something days 'til christmas. *sniff* all i want for christmas is... uhm... a PS2. and an iPod. oh and a digicam. :)

superwoman of the hour
oh my gawd! my day couldn't have been more tiring! i swear i totally felt i had to be superwoman just to accomplish everything! i mean come on, i'm just ONE person, and i felt like i had to be LITERALLY in 3 places at once! whew! but still, kudos to me, i was able to manage and finish everything.... hahaha! i am invincible!!! well i was really praying and talking to God the whole time to give me strength to be able to endure everything, and it did work. because the thing is, i was left alone in the office today, they were all out-0f-town in pampanga for the HP event happening, and noni who was supposedly my only companion at work was doing oculars around the city for another project. so i thought it was gonna be a completely peaceful and relaxed day for me at work, i even brought a book, the one i'm trying to finish since the past couple of months, pride and prejudice *for some reason, the book didn't have me hooked, i'm just trying to finish it just so i can get over it with* but NO! starting around 11am, noni started calling me to finish some tasks for him. then JP started calling to finish more tasks for him. i had to run to mandaluyong to hand in something to globe, had to call like a gazillion people, had to meet a deadline for the talent agency, had to fax memos for the newspaper placements and other stuff, had to call even more people. haaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! and i haven't got my pay yet, so many things seem to be happening at work lately, but it's ok, i still have some stash saved here so i'm still cool. i'm really, utterly tired, and i'm so glad it's friday!
oooh i almost forgot, i have to be somewhere tomorrow morning to support 2 of our talents for this interview thing for a hosting stint. at 9am! well it has to be before noon, so i thought it's better if we could get a good headstart, to be able to finish early. i promised myra i'd come over her house to watch tons of dvd's. and she's really pissed at this recent thing that happened to her. we were supposed to go out tomorrow with other high school barkada to hang out, but since it got cancelled, i just thought i'd go to her house and sleepover. haha this is so like high school! i'll be able to have her watch win a date with tad hamilton, this really cool romantic movie that i think she'll be able to relate to, with the brent javier events that just happened to her and all. hehe. AND more importantly, i'll be able to play PS2!! woohoo!! after a couple of years since it came out, this will be my first time to touch one. hahaha.
oh gosh i feel like i'm missing out on so many movies lately! the last good movie i watched on the big screen is the notebook, and that was practically eons ago! well i've been catching up on my dvd's, but that's it.
oh i just hate it. have to wake up really early tomorrow and it's a saturday!!!
OMIGOD there's a spider as big as a hand IN OUR HOUSE!!! michel and i have been screaming like crazy. i never thought our house has been breeding baby spiders, much more BIG, palm-sized ones!! gosh i can't feel my knees. ok, it's dead now. well, almost my mom just came down to save the day and sprayed some insecticide on it. it's so big, i feel like if it jumps on any of us, it can DEVOUR us just like that. yikes.
gawd. i want to hit the beach. tanline. tanline. tanline.
