BITS AND PIECES

Im happy she's with me... staying at the apartment for a week or so...

I guess this is our ritual now.. that everytime there's a long vacation, she'll ask her parents to be with her "ate daei"... and they would allow her instatntly knowing ako ang kasama nya. Ganyan ako kalakas sa mama at papa nya!

And being my everdearest sister-cousin, she was the baby of my mommy way way back... that why, sobrang lalabs ko sya...

Si YSA, even if I dont have a sister, she's there... yun nga lang kahit mag-asawa ako, she'll stick with me till the end... papaampon na nga daw sya sakin... at kahit sya na ang mag-alaga sa future kids ko!!!

O ha! may instant yaya na ako!!! hehehehehehe!

Advance happy 18th birthday sis! (Ayan! magdedebut ka na! yung usapan natin kagabi ha!!!)

----->

part of being with ysa are the one-to-sawang mall trips, shopping, movies, and eating out...

for dinner.. i treated her to a lasagna and seafood pasta at French Baker... as per her request...

isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit labs na labs ako ng pinsan kong to....

and, instead of watching a flick.. we just bought this dvd and watched it at home instead...

im glad you're here ysa!

Today is my dad's real anniversary of existence. Since I won't be able to be with him at this very day, we celebrated it last Saturday. Together with my "other" little sis and bro, Im happy to his smile and gladness being with us.

Yup, these are my little siblings... Dina Angela (1 year old) and Dan Angelo (7 years old)... May pagkakahawig ba kami???

Seeing them, I can't help but feel glad kasi for the first time, na feel ko yung pagiging ate. Sa case kasi namin ni Dan (Daniel, in which im 2 month older) we grew up together.. tapos magka age pa kame so iba pala pag mas bata talaga yung kapatid mo...

Syempre, they are a bit shy to me at first... since Im not with them naman.. I only see them during occasions like this. But really, I know Daddy is so happy seeing us together. I know simple things like that is enough for him...

Syempre... di mawawala ang bonding nain ni daddy... ano ba naman ang isang emperador sa ming dalawa???? I swear!!! ubos yun... samahan ba naman ng pulutan na sugpo???

By night we had a videoke session... We sang together "Joni Don't Cry" which they he usually sung with my mom before... o di ba mommy, may representative ka?

This was just one of the best weekend so far.. having to spend the entire time with daddy...and i missed him soo much...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! LABCHOOO!!!!! MMMWWWAAAAH!

ganito ang buhay dito sa office... lalo na pag kumpleto ang mga bosings... to spell it out.. S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D--O-U-T kaming lahat! katulad nalang ngayong mga oras na to...

makikita mo ang lahat na busy... and malas malas ka kung nasa state ka ng walang ginagawa dahil kelangan mong magpaka-AIDS (As If Doing Something)... katulad na lang ng ginagawa ko ngayon. Para magmukang may ginagawa, eto.. nagbloblog na lang.

(sa puntong ito... kakatawag lang ng trainor ko... pinagalitan ako dahil pasaway na naman daw ako kagabi.. bakit? uminom lang naman ako ng 5 san mig light at kumain ng pagkarami rami kasama mga sisters ko dito sa ofc... dyan lang sa Friends El Pueblo)

Kaya eto... lahat kami ngayon mukang wasted.. lahat puyat.. dahil nga sa gimik kagabi... tapos akalain mong kumpleto ang mga big bosses ngayong araw na to... kaya ang normal na araw na maingay at makukulit na tao sa paligid ko, ngayon nakakabingi ang katahimikan... ang maririnig mo lang... mga conversations and business talks nila ma'am and sir.

Isa pa.. I woke up today at around 9am na... which means Im super uber late... so I phoned in late sa ofc.. I arrived here around 10am and guess what? naabutan kong kumpleto ang mga boss at ang mga ofcmates ko... sobrang mukang busy lahat. Pero.. the moment I logged on to my ym.. ayan na! sa ym binuhos ang lahat ng chikka! iisipin mo bang nagtratrabaho ang lahat? E actually, magkakachat lang naman! hahahaha!

So far, I am already used to in the environment here... It's fun and work at the same time. More of fun actually coz I am able to enjoy my work. May times na sobrang toxic, may times naman na almost lahat yata ng websites navisit ko na kasi nga wala akong ginagawa. And of course! I was able to get along with everybody here so well. Ako daw kasi ang baby nila. hehehehe!!!

Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon... ang tanging kausap ko... Photoshop... InDesign...Internet... at and sarili ko....

Haaaayyy!!!!

...the least you expect things to happen, the more it would come out...

napatunayan ko yan kagabi! hay life!

di ko lang maitago ang kasiyahang nararamdaman ko ngayon....weeheeee!!!!

mababaw lang pero sobrang.... haaaaayyy!!!

----->

you know the feeling when someone values you so much? yung tipong you know that someone trusted and feels comfortable with you whenever ur together? ... and vice versa?

yung tipong may sarili kayong mundo pag magkasama kayo?

despite and inspite the problems you have, everything fades when you're together... dinadaan na lang sa tawanan at kulitan...

and suddenly... you are looking forward to each day kasi alam nyong magkasama kayo at the end of the day?

sarap di ba????

*wink*

Had lunch with Danica at McDonald's El Pueblo.. sort of a snap bonding, and it's good to see her again, after i guess a year or so.

Nah! I can't say what's up with her right now but definitely I'm sooo happy and excited for her! Looking forward to something very good... very very soon!

Hope I could make it on the 24th da! I'll see you soon...

Eastwest account is a go! ... simply means another period of ngaragan and toxic moments waiting ahead... and not to mention the account officer whom I have to work with...

Say, lahat ng tao suko sa kakulitan nya...

I have worked with him on one project and, hell yes! kung ang pagmumura nakakamatay, malamang by now Im dead...

And since he haven't given me a word yet on what should be done, I know magiging madugo ang buhay ko this coming days...

Goodluck daei!

It's going to be my dad's birthday on monday and im planning to visit him this weekend... spending time with my dad, huh! I hope quality time would prevail! Considering the fact that it's going to be on his "other" home where we would spend time together...

Of course im going to see my "little bro and sis" ... whom until now, im having a "quite hard time" coping up with them. I always remember my mom whenever I see them... but of course knowing my mom, hindi naman sya galit or whatever sa mga bata... it's just that, sometimes I feel an emptiness inside whenever I see my dad and his children together.. kasi naaalala ko... how happy my childhood days were... with him...

No, im not being selfish or envious... I know these kids also need the care and love from my dad... and Im glad to see my dad too, happy being with them. Minsan lang iniisip ko, siguro it would be a different life kung hindi naging ganito ang situation. Well... fate and destiny collides and it brought us to where we are now...

Anyhoo, its all about being happy with I have right now and making the most out of everything. Im still blessed I have a dad like him who, even if we failed to see each other that much (we only see each other once a month), he never never forgets... and he cares... and he loves me...

I remember the last time we talked he told me ... "you will always be my little baby girl"

watched this movie last night... with Marlo... my uber kulit and pasaway na trainor-cum-buddy at Shangri-La... last full show... right after our training...

I have read the book and was sooo excited and looking forward watching the film...

I was not that satisfied.. I shoud say. Maybe I expected so much since the book was a very good read. The book was way too far from the film...

Though sige, ok na rin... meron rin naman syang sense e... di lang sya kasing exciting compared to reading the paperback. It was good though, in a way inenjoy ko rin naman...

One thing I noticed... some represenation of the character was not as it was stated on the book... there could be a reason though...

To those who hadn't read the book, they could say that it was a very good movie... Masyado lang siguro mataas ang expectation ko... but yeah... it was.. ok, a godd movie.

With all the issues that this film has gotten from various sects and organization right now.... still, for me it remains to be fictitous.. whether ur a Catholic or not... whatever religion you are in... it is still on your faith...

Just as what Langdon said during the end of the film... "In the end, what matters is what you believe in..."


oooppps! wait... i know may magrereact dito especially pag nabasa nila kung sino ang kasama ko... hmmm... ano na naman kaya ang iisipin nila... *wink*

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

Have you guys tried AYSEE'S? Somewhere along ultra...

It's this place where they serve an oh-so-good-unlike-any-other-elses's sisig!

We just had our lunch there.. and damn! it's so good!

You better try it there.. im sure you'll get satisfied!!

Oh btw, thanks matt!!! *wink*

Just now i received a message from my former boss...

He'll nominate EDSA 20 at this year's CATHOLIC MASS MEDIA AWARDS...

Well...what more can I say?

Goodluck to everyone...

Take note with -ED kasi past tense na sya.

This is not suppose to be for you alone... I just don't know how many exactly are you but im pretty sure this message would be spread out to everyone ... ikaw naman kasi ang madalas mag drop by sa blog ko lately e... ayt? plus the fact na a single info could be spread out in a second.. kayo pa!

So here's something for you to talk about. Since talking about my life is your hobby lately... well I am so greatful nabigyan ko kayo ng mapapagkwentuhan... at least I was able to share with you the WONDERS AND COLORS OF MY LIFE right now.. na alam kong wala kayo ngayon.

Oops.. don't react yet... I understand... masarap pagkwentuhan ang buhay ko ngayon. Making me feel more of a celebrity kahit hinde. I just hope at the end of the day, it pays you off that much, in expense of judging my life...

Oh by the way.. thanks for "understanding me".. that was such a good gesture from a friend (again with -ed) like you guys... so pity of me I have this character, ryt? unlike you na sobrang clean and pure of heart. Thanks for making me realize the real meaning of trust... and whom to trust... Grabe kasi ang speed ng infos...

Just one favor... pwedeng wag mo na lang idamay ang family background ko? Kahit ano ibato mo sakin wag mo lang idadamay ang family ko. Kasi kung family background lang ang paguusapan, please check your backround first...

Insecurities can kill.. girl! So stop it... Oh yeah, I can't stop you from talking about me.. pero come to think of it, ano napapala nyo? Nagsasayang lang kayo ng oras... Do something more productive na lang... at least you can benefit from that...

If you think that I am like this or I'm like that.. go ahead! Formulate assumptions as long as you can...It has been your nature eversince though ... and one more thing... stupidity sometimes lead to nowhere...

You don't know the real story.. and you don't have any idea of the things we've been through... Much more, it's not my responsibilty to tell all of you of what's happening... I don't owe you an explanation...The mere fact na masaya ako, ok kame, at masaya ang mga tao sa paligid namin, is enough to continue living... Di ko maintindihan bakit sobra kayong affected...

Pwede isa pang favor? Since I made you happy by giving you something to talk about, pwedeng ako rin ba magkwento ng mga bagay bagay tungkol syo para at least maexperience ko rin naman yung satisfaction na nakukuha nyo? I mean, I have lots of stories to tell....

Oh by the way.. next time, make sure naman na accurate and consistent young mga kwento mo about me ha... minsan kasi out of this world na eh....

So, until the next issue!!!

Goodluck sis!

This was for sure, the best year of my besty Van. Passing the recent bar exam, now I guess, it's time for us to call her ATTORNEY VANESSA FERNANDEZ BERNARDO.

In time of her birthday tomrw was a thanksgiving party last night at their home at Valenzuela. Of course papahuli ba kaming bestfriends nya???? :D

Van, we are so so proud of you!!! More goodlucks!!! Ngayon we are relieved.. kasi pwede na kameng magloko!!! hehehehe!!! Nikay and you are there to defend us!!! har!har!!!

I saw your message the moment I woke up...

It's more than enough to start my day...

...Just one of the best "good mornings" that I ever had...

To know that there are true friends on your side who understands and stick with you in the most downfull moments of your life is enough to go on living. It is indeed a wonderful feeling that on the moment your life is full of twists and turns, you have a hand from someone reaching out and saving you from such disasters.

Secrets have been unfold.. Reality presents itself to the world... Acceptance is next...

What's meant to happen should happen and if it's not, then learn to let go.

"Hello & Goodbye".... Hapiness and Sad Times... Triumph and Loosing... Every actions has its consequences... and one must ready to face it.

I made a big mistake... that affects even an innocent angel... worst, he's gone... sad that I never had the chance to know him... he's now just a real angel guiding us through "our" life. Wishing that he could make a difference especially now that he's gone... that everything would be back to the same old happy faces that we had back then... even before he came.

People might misjudged me... asks questions that are really intriguing...

but then, im so tired of explaining... in the first place, why do I have to explain myself to them. I guess only those who understood need not to ask questions. And to those people who keeps on asking questions: Yes I know, it's hard to understand... but it has to be that way... and it should be...

Please just be happy for me...

Coz the coast is starting to get clear... again...

All because of an angel named "andrienne"

people might judge me the way I expected to be...

then let it be...

i guess, i just don't owe anybody an explanation...

After the long weekend vacation, after that splendid galera getaway, Im back to reality... back to office works, back to everything that I was able to forget during that three-day spree...

It was a different place.. it was a peaceful, relaxing environment out there.. free from toxic, pollution, traffic and not to mention stress. And how I would love to stay there, given another chance...

----

Im also back to the gym. I know I have to burn all these calories I gained on that trip. Haven't been there since thursday... and it's nice to be there again.. It was like my second home now...and.. it's nice to see Marlo again too... my super uber kulit trainor whom I appreciate so much because he really drives me to make my best on my workout...

Now, he's giving me the diet thing... like he's putting the law on my life on what should I eat and not... oh! by the way, before that, I kinda noticed that he's actually increasing the level of my workout.. say... from 20 counts of sit-ups, now he asked me to do 30 counts... from the previous 10 counts of free weights... he asked me to do 30... but that's ok... it feels great anyway...

Back to the diet thing... here are some stuffs he instructed me:

----> eat brown rice instead of white rice (2x a day)
----> wheat bread in between
----> skim milk or soya milk
----> no to meat
----> olive oil to be used in frying chicken (take note.. only chicken.. the white meat part)
----> eat pasta instead of rice

and much more to come...

It was a great feeling though every after workout, especially the stretching session. Oh! how I loved it!!! It's all like getting a free massage and stretching in one...

I know I should really commit myself to this if I want results. And I would... not because of "someone" but for myself. And if ever I would see that "someone" again soon (hopefully), I wanted to be a better person... so as not be misconcepted as someone which I am not...

Now, this is what summer and a long-weekend is all about (thank Gos Monday falls on a Holiday!!!!)

Met up by 4:30am and headed to the terminal going to Batangas Port. And gee!!! upon reaching the bus terminal, you can see the jampacked people obviously heading to the same place that we're going to... Saan pa nga ba ang punta ng mga tao lalo na pag ganitong long weekend???? You just can imagine the super uber looong line of passengers... anyway, after a long wait, we we're able to catch a bus by around 7:30am...that is 3 hours waiting on the line.. ganun kadami ang tao...

~at the terminal an hour before the departure~

We arrived at Batangas Pier by 10am and immediately fall in line again to get a ticket heading to PUERTO GALERA... still, jampacked pa rin mga tao.. iisa ang destinasyon ng lahat... and guess what time is our departure from the port? 1pm... which means we have to wait for another 3 hours.. well ok na yun kesa sa next departure na 4:30pm, ayt?

~waiting at the port~

It was a smooth-sailing ferry ride.. the water is clear.. relaxing... i can feel the breeze of air touching my skin.. it was a wonderful sight... stressfree... for a moment i completely forgot all the stuffs, stress, and things that occupied me for the past weeks...

The moment the ferry made it's stop at the beach, I felt the excitement... THIS IS GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND to all of us!!!

~the moment we stepped on the sand~

~grace, moi, and jazzel~

And it was...

The sunset caught me... it was a moment of bliss... finding myself at peace... away from the succumbed world I have in the city...

How I loved the beach.. the sun... the sea... together with friends...bonding time.. just having fun together...

~summer lovin~ (sana wag magreact si kute!!)

Party at night! Making the most out of it... and im glad to see other friends too... saw anne with her friends too...

Three days on this island is not enough... Sobrang bitin! sana laging long weekend...Hay! i'll miss this day sooo much...
