0 Reunions

Alumni Homecoming.

No, am not going back to the portals of my Sintang Paaralan but will be partying with some familiar faces on the 2nd at some garden buffet joint in Timog.

Am not really fond of such activities but the idea that my college homies will be there as well gives me all the reason to attend.

Together Again for a Night.

On the 30th, am more than excited to watch the one-night only event of the, if not, coolest band to ever hit the Pinoy music scene. Cant wait!

August will be a season of reunions indeed.

0 Walkathon

Reminder to self: Add MRT Ayala Station to PBCom Tower walkathon to daily routine.

Yup. I am starting my "shed-some-extra-pounds" journey by making a pact with myself to:

a.) lessen my rice intake but not to the point of starving myself.
b.) make walking an option. ergo: walking to my office every morning.

Not only do I help combat those unsightly flabs, am also lessening my carbon footprint and saving some pennies (hey, if I do walk every morning, I get to save around P11.00 daily...hmmm)

It just takes self-discipline...
I know i can do it... ;p

0 You On My Mind

I've been thinking of you lately, wonderin' if staying would do me good.
I guess I need to slow down...get unattached before I get caught hook, line and sinker.
I've always been like this...you weren't the first person I became this close with.
Coward as I may seem to be, I just don't wanna get hurt again and be taken for granted for the nth time.
Draw the line I must...
In time, I'll get used to this...
But still I won't leave...I won't.

0 AMEN

To the almighty BOSSING...
Thankies! You Rock!

0 Bon Voyage

To my dear cousins Mimi and Nhel who flew last Sunday to Taiwan:

Hope to hear from you guys soon.
Me gonna miss yah and our drinking sessions.

0 kHaLiL

A simple present for my dear friend's red letter day:

0 Survival

I'll be right behind your back in this fight against the "monster..."
Say "go," 'and it will be just a phone call away.
We may not be "powerful" enough to send people in the cold lair
But still, we can have "monsters" busted...

You'll survive my dear...

1 Memorial Day

Some wacky pics with my cousins during my first long weekend for '08.
(Hirap ng pinagkakaitan ng bakasyon...;p)

Thanks to Tita Emilie for the free accommodations @ the villa and to my MOM for the yummy dinner and after dinner booze.

1 Missin You

Yes I do. 'Nuff said.

0 Hiling. Tanong. Panalangin.

Kung ang kamay ko'y may kakayahang maglakbay, nais ko abutin nito ang mga talang nagniningning sa himpapawid
Upang mahiram ang kinang nito kahit sandali.

Sana'y singkulay ng bahaghari ang bawat araw na darating
At nang ang ngiti'y hindi na pilit.

Nawa'y maging singlaya ng ihip ng hangin ang aking damdamin

Bakit ba hindi naging

Kasing ikli ng bawat sandaling lumilipas ang pananatili ng lumbay?
Mabilis iwaglit ang bigat ng damdaming nadarama?

Paano

Kung mapatid na ang pisi ng pag-unawa?
At mapigtal na ang tanging pag-asang pinaghahawakan?

Kailan

Natatapos ang pighati?

Ngayon.
Bukas.
Baka hindi.

0 Something to ponder

Have you ever wonder if there is someone, still waiting for you? And the one that you have right now, ever had this strange feeling that you're not meant for each other?

From a good friend's journal post ... and honestly, this got me thinking...

0 It has been a year

yes, it has been a year ... a year since I:

a.) went gaga over ... ('nuff said)
b.) became a part of the SB Manila team
c.) had my heart broken
d.) found few precious gems whom I have learned to treasure and care for.

guess what, am still here, alive and kickin' ass.

sure I had my share of shit, of pit stops and hearty laughs. cried a river over a lot of things that has made me the person I am now.

and with my new 'do, am looking forward to facing another kick ass year...

bring it on! ;p

0 zane's masterpiece

0 Good morning!

Morning Zoo Crew just gives you a good morning even if people at the MRT push you around, crazily shoving their asses inside the coach.

0 Starry Starry Night

Doomed.

Birth borrowed

Fate ill destined

Identity copied

From a Vincent that never shined.

Dropped school

Worked and wondered

Finding passion; seeking reason

In an existence denied

Am a forgotten progeny

That no one hears

Dark as the night, the road I lead

Ascetic I resolved

Forgot the shaving, forgot bathing

Dealt with Him, I, a paranoid schizoid

Moralizing His profundity

Still, no one listens

Mutilated lobe

A piece of me

Priceless dowry of ardor

To Sien by the brothel

Rubbished emotion

Am I heard? No, not at all

Theo and Gaugin

Bade in the midnight of my sorrows

Palette and brush

Rekindles dying flames

Inside this pitch black poke

Staring to the starry night

With the taste of tube paint on my lips

An attempt to submit into the voices within

Ending this misery I do pray,

But still nobody would want to listen.

Silver bullet unto my chest

Ended bouts of paranoia and delusion

In this cradle I lay

Soaking in red

Deserted

I mouth

"Sadness will last forever"

Eyes closed; feet flat

A portrait of surrender

0 My New Blankie

Comfy blankie from mamye ... thankies! :)

Signing Off ... ZZZzzz ... Nytie!

0 Red Letter Day '08

How did my red letter day went? Well, I know its darn too late to post this but I got all so caught up with a lot of things to do ... awww... so sad. Anyway, here's my blow by blow account.

Mawnin

I got up pretty early and greeted all the people celebrating the same red letter day as I do: my kid bro (who is five years younger) and twin sistah by birth date Zane (she's two hours older than me.) :) It is great to have people you truly love to spend the same great day with you.

Since it was still SB observation week, I wore a purple knitted turtle neck top. Kewl! Honestly, I was not in the mood to work. I was a bit sleepy... hihihi!

To my surprise, the SB team gave me a:

dan...dan...dan...dan

A scrumptious chocolate dome cheesecake

The cake's appearance alone made my mouth water. Yum! Am such a sweet tooth. It was very thoughtful of them to remember that my birthday's never complete without a cake. *tears*

Then I met my mom and my bro for a festive dinner @ macapagal seafood market. yummy!

two days later:

I had my celebration with the joinx! at tiendisitas. It was cool to celebrate dinner with the guys and their pets. And it was nice to know that they're all in a happy and stable relationship. Big bro Homer anticipated my pet, but there was no such thing as "my pet." It all ended up in a booze party... kewl!

0 Hell Day!

kewl! I surpassed hell day! yahoo!

actually my day didn't start quite right. got shoved at the MRT, which caused my backache then cut stop at the elevator, waited for around 15 minutes. once I got on my seat, the team told me not to take a look at the scores which was way unacceptable. christ!

hmmm... what else... observation followed. bad news, it was a slow GMA day. talking about bad luck! whatelse?! i run out of load and my friends told me I cant have my moolah yet. :( am freakin' broke!

tomorrow's my red letter day, hope I be blessed with a lil luck...

0 my first laid back weekend

I had a really fun weekend before I faced hell week. Mye and Meann were @ mt place an we get to uber bond. Saturday ended as one "hintayan and sunduan day." Tiring it may seem to be, it ended up fun, fun, fun. Strolled glorietta, watchd a bit of Kyla's performance (which Mye missed due to some office tangles), ate our hearts out then Rhon joined us for some games. We went home @ midnight, had some booze sessions, got drunk then slept till late Sunday mawnin.

Sunday was a laid back day. We all had a i-dont-wanna-think-about work mode. Mye helped me do the laundry. Every meal was hearty, thanks to yours truly. Then meann woke up from her miday nap and joined me in watching "Before Sunrise." OMG! It really made me inis and sad and kilig...

Afternoon coffee. Then hearty sinigang for dinner, then hmmm....

Mye and I had some serious talk about life, the future and what we wanted our lives to be. It was a heartfelt moment.

Monday mawnin, we all have to leave early... They have to go to work. Mye's flight to Ilocos was scheduled @ midnight, while I have to be early for work because it Jess and the new boss will be coming over for a four day stay.

Things were really fun. The laid back moment has given me time to just relax. I wish I can replicate the same weekend again...

0 What will happen next?

Two days more before hell week begins. Seriously, am having mixed emotions... :(

Hope this weekend will be a whole lot of fun before I get grilled Wednesday...

Am starting to dread the coming of my red-letter day.

And I still have a whole load of assignment to finish.

This is driving me nucking futs!

What will happen next, only Him can tell.
