almost perfect weekend

2006-08-06T19:10:00.000-07:00

ant bully, popcorn, makoy... crispy pata, baking cookies... just some things that has become a part of this recent weekend of mine. until Patis informed me that Bruno and his Mom left our apartment coz the Drunk Father showed up again. i don't care about my cousin. i don't care if she will get beaten to bits again. all im really concerned is Bruno. I hate not being able to hug him. had I known that he will be gone, i could have woken him up and played with him some more. yesterday, i left the house and he was reaching to me, smiling and laughing... but he was being put into sleep, so i just ignored him, gave him a little wave and trotted off. i really really want to hug him once more.

so there. this week started somewhat depressing.

QUESTION: WHY DO PEOPLE GET MARRIED? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME. THANKS.

there's a ghost in the office

2006-08-02T20:13:00.000-07:00

last friday, lalux sent an email to tita Badetski telling her about a little boy she saw in the women's comfort room. she asked tita badetski not to tell anyone because she's concerned that we will be spooked out of our wits. well, tita badetski told everybody about it and since then, i think twice before using the comfort room. kids are not allowed in the office. we have a very strict policy regarding that. besides, every morning, there's just 10 people in the office. just this morning, the guard came to tita badetski and asked her where is the boy she saw sitting beside her. and the guard reminded her that kids are not allowed in the office. of course, we all knew what he was talking about. Tita badetski was so scared coz why did the freaking ghost sat beside her??? we told the guard that nobody was sitting with badetski, but the guard said firmly that he saw a little boy sitting beside tita badetski when he passed by to get some coffee.

booooooooooo.

now, where shall i piss? i will never go to that restroom ever again.

hey Coney

2006-07-31T18:28:00.000-07:00

first of all, thanks for the card that you sent me. i searched all crevices of that sweet little thing hoping to find at least four 500 pesos bills... but no luck. hehehehe. just kidding. it brighten my night when i read it.

just want to take this space to thank you for the wonderful gift of friendship. it all sounds so cliche and overrated, but what can I do? that's how i feel.... grateful, thankful, lucky, blessed. you're a gift i will treasure forever!

keep on flying high! :)

i almost lost a toe

2006-07-27T16:29:00.000-07:00

yesterday, i got on a jeepney and I hurt my toe. the door slammed and my foot was stuck. it was horrible. i felt a searing pain, and i did not dare to look at it. i waited til i got to the office. on the elevator, i saw tita baddy and i asked her if my toe is still there... it was still there, but it was fucking bloody and painful. i went to the clinic and two kind nurses cleaned up my wound. Whew! i guess i'll be taking the cab again, boo-hoo. so much for my saving money strategy!

Brunie is sooo talkative. he calls me "mimi" coz everyone at home taught him to call me mommy. last night, i was down on my last ciggie for the day. he was, i guess, ten feet away from me. when he saw me threw the cigarette, he immediately crawled towards me and cooed and laughed. aawww!!!! thinking that someone craves for your attention is a good feeling.

Hey best! hope you'll have a great weekend..... :)

letting go

2006-07-19T20:05:00.000-07:00

it's been almost a year that my medium sized jeans and shirts are stored in my closet collecting dust. i have said before that i will not dispose them because i still plan to be back on my old medium self. but since im still fat as a cow, i've decided to dispose those clothes. i sorted out all there is to sort and i gathered a huge pile. i planned on having a garage sale this weekend, but yesterday, brunie's mom (who stays at my apartment just doing chores and etc) started selling those stuff. i was she did it coz it was a success!!! we had my stuff spread in the garage and people from all walks of life came and bought something. of course, there still a pile left and i brought a lot of them in my office today, and what do you know, i also made a great sale! i was thinking that nobody will buy my stuff coz it's not "branded" or classy. it's just penshoppe, bench, levi's, human, bossini... but people were really digging it. one woman said that if all the jeans would fit her, she will buy it all. there was also this woman who bought A LOT of clothes and then she haggled to death... like her total purchase is around 750 pesos, but she ended up paying me only 620 pesos. i guess it's just fair, although i think she made a r4eal bargain with all those nafnaf shirts she hoarded. :) i learned that i should put an expensive price mark because people kept on haggling that i ended up giving them 10 peso discount. so if they bought five items, i have slashed off 50 pesos!!! also, i wasn't able to buy plastic bags, and there were a number of people who bought a lot and need to wrap their purchases. also, i had no coins and small bills... so it was really a hassle when one person gave me a 1000 peso bill after a 120 worth of purchases. so there. lessons!

time to buy large and extra large stuff. hey, im cool with it. :)

this made me smile

2006-07-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

Best, im reprinting what you wrote in your entry:

my best pau

it's amazing that pau and i got in touch after 10 long years of not hearing from each other at all..and great to know that we are still single while most of our classmates had tied the knot...if not pregnant without a husband....not bad for some...hehehe

since then we had kept in touch and never failed to tell each other how happy we are for finding each other again..we would share secrets, problems, crazy jokes...and all there is..though she's in manila and im here in iloilo...it seems like we are not that apart..well..if you dont consider the distance...hehehe

she's been a good buddy since we were in high school (back the old HFVHS days) together with melrose (she's in heaven now) though i remember one of teachers referred to her as the BI...that really hurt pau so much she decided to leave school despite the scholarship..hahaha...we lost touch..just to find each other here on friendster after 10 long years..hahhaha

and now....we've kept the fire of friendship burning..and hope to see her again...

pau...i really thank GOD i have you...Few good friends are really never lost...i may lose others but not you..

hay!!!! i have to teach you many things especially housework.....hehehe....love kids too..tara..gawa na tayo..san na kaya mga papa natin???hehehehejoke!!!

mwuah!!! miss you and love you ~b3st~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah... the first two years of my high school life is the DARKEST period of my life. I got kicked out of school. i haven't talked about this and reading coney's post, i was taken back to that time when very few people cared about me and really understood me. Holy Family was supposed to be a school filled with love and all that shit, but I never felt those. instead, i felt misunderstood and i was always seen as the villain. not a single teacher cared about me, not even the freaking guidance counselors. the teachers! my god. they all claimed that i was bright and all but im lazy shit, but did they do anything about it??? all they did was shove into my face how useless i am. ora et labora? my god. if they live in prayer, why were they so cruel to me? i was always at fault, the bad influence... why? what kind of things did i shared with my friends? did i tell them to do drugs and have sex??? did i told them to cut class? did i told them to punch the teachers int ehir flat noses??? i did none of those. i only had some fun... like going to a town dance just for the heck of it, and my friends went with me. what's wrong with that? can't a thirteen year old stay up late? when the teachers knew this, they looked ta me as if I committed blasphemy. the fuck. just look at your sorry lives? where are you now???? not a single teacher cared about me there. they all think they are so clean and holy, when in fact they also have skeletons in their god damn closets!!! only my classmates and schoolmates cared about me those days--- coney, melrose, wella, christy porras, hilda abadajos, rosemarie, ana marie.... most of the times, i just get judged and criticized by the teachers!!!

i am so glad i finished high school at ramon torres national high school. at least, the teachers there are REAL. they don't judge people and they ASK WHAT'S WRONG FIRST BEFORE THEY THINK THAT IM A USELESS BRAT!!!

whew. Con, at least i got that out of my system. I visited mrs, S when i was a college sophomore and she was so surprised. the first question i asked her was, do you still remmeber me? and she said, Pauline... how can I forget? hahahahaha! and she also said that I was the only one who gave her a visit out of the blue.

well... we got to make peace with our past, right? i know that i had a bad experiece in that school, but i also have wonderful ones. in that school, i got very religious and i came to know God a little better... i also met lots of people, most of them has become part of my life.

i know this will sound crazy, but if i were to live my life again, I will still spend the first two years of my high school life at holy family. except that i would prefer that the teachers won't be that cruel and judgmental.

just to clarify... i loved my schoolmates and my classmates back in holy family. they were the only ones who made me laugh, smile and entertained. i met lots of cool manangs there-- rhodora batigas and etc. when im with my classmates, i feel so at home. but with the teachers, my life sucked! all they did was judge me and criticize me. it's only now that i realized, it was not my fucking fault that i was such a black sheep in school. they made me like that!

Peace!

the attack of a hyperactive ten month old monster

2006-07-13T16:49:00.000-07:00

hehehe. im talking about brunie. this week, he sleeps at 12 midnight the earliest. sometimes, i play with him til he falls asleep, but since im an old lady, i can't keep up with his craziness. he's so cute and handsome and playful, and when he gives me that pout... ah shit, i can't help but retreat back to his bed and play with him some more. this little man had me wrapped around his fingers.

funny coz his name is not really Bruno. He is not yet registered, given the situation of my cousin. My cousin has been asking me to give him a name and I chose Jacob Peter. so... sometimes, i would call him Jacob, but he doesn't recognize it. when i say Brunooooo, he's so alert and he has this smile that makes my mouth water. Shit. is this me talking? do i really love babies now??? hahahahahahaha!

it's friday, and so far, this week has been great. I really am grateful that God never forgets me.

Happy weekend!!!

Love you Con! See you in December!!!

gloomy world!

2006-07-12T16:26:00.000-07:00

it's been two days that the weather has been quiet stormy. it brings a certain gloom in my life, you know. i just want to burrow deep in my bed and sleep til i drop. :) but yesterday, i was very happy because I was able to eat boiled, unripened saba (a variant of banana) with shrimp paste. it feels like negros occidental all over again. I remember when I was a kid, whenever there was a typhoon, i would be staying at home and my mother or my grandma would boil all the green saba in the world. so yeah... yesterday i felt like i was home. it was great and sweet and sad all at the same time...

another thing that made me happy yesterday was Marco gave me TWIX!!! twix has been phased out here... or so the sales ladies told me. i was craving for twix since APRIL, hahahahaha. so imagine my joy and delight when i had three mini twix yesterday. i gobbled it up and I never shared it with anyone. it felt like a dream! did i really had twix yesterday????

Got in touch with Junazen, my kabarkada in college. She's in North Carolina now. Hi Bona!!! :)

2006-07-10T17:18:00.000-07:00

written in the first page of my new journal:

"life is a dick... if it gets hard, Fuck It."

so there.

that thing

2006-07-04T15:54:00.000-07:00

i should stop having weird dreams. it's driving me crazy. i wish that i can just forget all the weird dreams that i have, but no... when i wake up, i can still recall it vividly. like last night, i dreamed about my ex boyfriend whom i havent seen nor thought about for more than five years! in my dream, he was getting married and I was waiting outside the church. Then in the middle of the ceremony, he went out and came to me and gave me a rubber ducky... weird coz in real life, the first present that he gave to me was a yellow rubber ducky! then he said goodbye and i cried. no, i bawled. when i woke up, i have this silly look in my face and i was like, huh? what was that all about?

oh well. i guess ex boyfriends have ways to haunt you. nyahahahahhaha!

another old friend found thorugh friendster

2006-07-03T20:07:00.000-07:00

Way back during my freshman year in high school, I had a seatmate named Cheryl. We're not really that close, but since there are only 40 something freshmen in my old school, everybody knows everybody. Me and cheryl used to bring pictures and stuff and show it to each other, especially when the teacher is not looking in our direction. She's a very smart girl, one of the best in class. Anyways, i left that school after our sophomore year and i haven't heard from her eversince. Not even once. I was surprised when she messaged me through friendster. Since then, we've been exchanging emails evry now and then. She married an american and is currently in Washington with her baby girl.

The blessings of Friendster! :)

From Dream Moods

Tsunami
To see a tsunami in your dream, represents that you are being overwhelmed by some repressed feelings or unconscious material that is rising up to the surface. You are experiencing some unhappiness and emotional instability in some waking situation.

I guess so...

Lake House; OUR DAY!!!!

2006-07-02T15:55:00.000-07:00

I watched Lake House with Marco last saturday. Darn it was a great movie, but the kissing scene in the ending SUCKED. It was almost a perfect movie, you know... great sound track, nice dialogues, beautiful concept, and very romantic slow dance (shit, I lurve, lurve that scene!)... but when the ending comes, and sandra bullock and keanu reeves met and kissed... turn off man! keanu was soooo... gay. It would have been a very romantic kiss if Sandra was a man. So there.

So last saturday was a special day for me and my BF coz it was OUR DAY. we ate seafoods at Dampa... it's not something that we do everyday so i really had fun that day. And besides, the last time i had oysters was like five freaking months ago... so it felt like nirvana when i pigged out on oysters that day. we also went to Market! Market! and I passed by this feng shui store. Since i'm a big fan of that, I stopped by and we bought 6 little buddhas... cool! I wanted to buy jeans, coz i have finally accepted that it will be a looooooooong fucking time to get back in my skinny jeans again and im willing to buy extra large jeans, but NO FUCKING LUCK. i wasn't able to find the kind of jeans that suit me. so maybe i'll try again within this week.

anyways... i kept dreaming about tsunamis. weird.

support group

2006-06-29T22:48:00.000-07:00

im thankful that I have friends from the office whom i can share anything with... we talk about our problems, our joys, our lives... whatever we can think of. thanks maymay, shan, karla, kai and vanek. :) mga punyeta kayo!!! hehehehe.

anyways, today, we discussed about something personal regarding my life. i told them about this "dark stage" that im suffereing from and they all pinched in their precious thoughts. i still could not figure out any solution to that, but i felt better after venting out.

i want to let go of something... but it's hard coz that something has been part of me for far too long. it will not be the same without IT. if im okay with that something's related things, i might reconsider, you know. but they don't give a damn about me. so. screw you, mother fuckers!

sorry for my rant. i just feel bad about IT and the IT'S related things. FUCKERS!!!

sooo. i just want to say this again. im the eldest in the family and the spotlight has always been on me. i just hate it when im treated like i don't matter. i really, really hate it. especially when the people who do it to me are the people who should treat me like I matter. don't judge me. get to know me first. promise, i won't bite.

dreams

2006-06-29T16:38:00.000-07:00

all dreams are weird, right? well... i had a very weird, if not frightening dream two nights ago. i was at the beach with a friend, and all of a sudden, there was a tsunami. (a tsunami!) it was so real. i saw the water rise, glistening and mighty, and then it fell directly to me and my friend. my friend went missing, and i was able to run and reach my house where i told my mother and brother to run. then there was a second tsunami, and i was wondering why it's not moving. it's just there... standing tall and threatening. there was chaos, and then a Police came to me and told me to sleep in the hotel, so i slept coz i was tired and when i woke up, the tsunami was still there... not moving. upon closer look, i discovered that the tsunami was FROZEN. wtf. what a dream. i guess i dreamed about this because im still high from the company picnic which was held at 8 WAVES. at the wave pool, i remember me and Shan playing with the man made waves. crazy!

thank God it's friday! i want to watch Lake House. Maybe i'll go to the movies tomorrow. anyways, last night, I went to the mall with Apang and Brunie. i was so happy everytime Brunie squeals in delight to the new things he saw. He loves it when I put him in the grocery cart. And he loves fench fries! but i only let him eat two pieces. he also calls me by my name... it sounds like "aw". sigh. he's really a cute baby, and i love, love him.

rainy days

2006-06-27T16:18:00.000-07:00

rainy days really make me feel nostalgic... last night, it rained so hard and i found myself staring into empty space and rewinding scenes from my not so distant past. all i can think of was college days and teenage life. i am 24, and whenever i repeat this to myself, 24 is imprinted in red letters. like it's such a sign or a warning, that hey, im 24 yet im still not fullfilled... i don't know. i love my job, the way i turned out here in manila, but there's something missing. AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. ahhh. maybe im just having a quarter life crisis.

I watched Wedding Date last night. It was a feel good movie. While the movie was playing on the TV, i played with Brunie and I was amazed of how big he has become... he has four teeth now, and he crawls so fast i can barely catch him. babies! i thought i'll never learn to love them. Because as far as I know, the only infant that i ever loved was Patrick.

anyways, Julie is thinking of moving in with his Boyfriend. Oh well. she's 22, she's a big girl now and I am not his mother. Goodluck to her. Her plan of living with his BF was such a big issue in our place. She met the freaking guy only five months ago...! anyways... may she chose the right decision! :)

things at random

2006-06-25T23:11:00.000-07:00

last saturday, i had a blast with my oficemates. we went to the annual summer picnic that the company we work for gave. it was soooo fun!!! wish i had some pictures, but i wasn't able to bring my camera.

anyways, last night, i missed my family so much. i had a 30 minute talk with my brother. They are always just a phone call away, and i am glad about that. he's in high school now! next thing i know, he will be introducing me to his.... girlfriend!!! i hope it will not happen soon coz i don't want to share my brother with some girl. hahahahaha! he joined the school choir and he requested me to send him an Enya CD. hope i could buy it this weekend so that he will receive it this sunday.

cynthia will be back in manila before july 15... i don't know if she's serious. she's now in cebu, and it's a 20 minute flight from bacolod. if i am working in cebu, i'll stay there. that way, i can visit my parent's anytime i want to.

mama and papa are still the same... bored out of their skulls, hehehehehe!

i miss our house. i miss home. i miss my bedroom, my bed, my dog. ugh!!!! this is not funny anymore.

so... i was feeling shitty last night, i stayed in the comfort room for 30 minutes and cried my eyes out. i just want to go home!!!! i want to see my parents coz i really really miss them.

there's no one here (except my bf) that i can just call and meet up and pour my heart out. this role is for JO or Hennie. and i have no one here for that!!! it sucks!!!

on the sunny side: Brunie's drunk father showed up in my apartment last thursday and he insisted on taking brunie with him. i want to stave him off, but i was careful coz the guy was drunk. my cousin has no choice but to go with that fucking pig.....! i missed brunie sooo much i felt like crying whenever i see his pacifier in the fridge. anyways, my cousin came back last night (this is the sunny side), she said that she had called it quits with the pig. that pig has been beating my cousin, and i can't do anything but just welcome her in my home whenver she runs away. she said that a zillion times, and i know that with just a flick of the pig's finger , she will still go with him. ANYWAYS, i was so happy when i went home and saw brunie!!! i picked him up and held him for an hour!!! :) i love this baby soo mcuh, i will not let anyone hurt him!!!!

therapeutic thingies

2006-06-20T15:39:00.000-07:00

every human being wants to be comforted once in a while... we all need to feel good, safe, and free. i was getting ready to bed last night when i thought of all things that has given me comfort and good feeling.

here in manila....

1. i feel good after giving Brunie a bath. i would put him in a large basin with warm water, then gently soap his hair and body. after rinsing him, i pat his body dry and put some baby powder on him, put his diapers on and voila! a mouthwatering baby is here!

2. browsing books in bookstores. when i have the urge to buy a book, it is easily satisfied by just looking at the best sellers... browsing a little and smelling them... yes, i love the smell of new books. it makes me HIGH. :)

3. Making pasta. it takes my mind off to some bothering things when i boil pasta and prepare the sauce. chopping onions, mincing gralic, preparing the whole thing... it makes me feel at home!!!

4. reading my journals.... takes me back to the past. you know, where everything was once secure. coz right now, it scares me to death to know that i only have myself to depend on. go independence.

5. massage from marco. need i say more?

6. watching movies. i spent way too much money on cinemas. when i watch a movie, i forget about everything, as in EVERYTHING. im in a different world when i have a popcorn in my right hand, and a softdrink stuck somewhere.

back in Bago City.....

1. Talking with my papa.

2. going to the mall with Patrick and mama.

3. Taking care of my forever baby, TANDY.

4. cleaning my room.

5. going out with my girlfriends.

6. cable TV marathon.

7. visiting churches.

8. going to Hilangban

9. swimming.

10. eating mama's chili con carne

11. doing the grocery.

oh well. i wrote about this because i just want to be away for a while. anyways, since i got here in manila, i never had any barkada... friends that i an hang out with anytime i want to. i seldom see my classmates in grad school, and i seldom go out wiht my officemates. it's not the same with my friends in Bacolod. but i am still thankful that at least,i still have a normal social life.

i saw the sign (i think)

2006-06-19T18:15:00.000-07:00

i have wanted to be something for so long.... and i was given lots of opportunities to pursue it. but somehow, i get it all screwed up... maybe because, it's not something that i really, really want, but just went for it coz i don't have any choices left at that time. i guess it just got stucked in my brain and i was made to believe that i really want to be that something... yesterday, after a number of trying, pursuing that something, i finally got the sign... it just told me that i wasn't enough. so maybe i should just quit chasing it... and be happy with the present. but the belief that it was what I want has been in my brain for 6 years now... and it's not easy to flush it down the drain. after seeing the sign yesterday, another opportunity landed on my lap... should i go for it? or should i quit it already??? i am now starting to believe that there's no hope for me to be that something. my god. im an ass in that. whatever. i feel sad though. to realize this shit. but i will not consider my time wasted. anyways... i thought i did good. always thought i had.... but somehow.... it's all screwed up in the end. i just don't understand. fate? whatever. help me let go. thanks.

dvd marathon;

2006-06-18T23:30:00.000-07:00

marco and i decided to save money, for real, so that means, we have to think real hard before we spend a single centavo. and i guess im doing pretty good (last week at least) coz i have budgeted my resources to the point that I don't take the taxi to go to work anymore. (hey best, did i construct the sentence correctly, hehehehehe!) anyways, instead of going to the movies (which means, eating at a restaurant after watching the film), he rented some dvds instead. we watched 5 movies!!!! and it's only 60 pesos, beat that. first thing we watched was yours, mine, ours.... starring renee russo and dennis quaid. then we watched Last holiday starring queen latifah, followed by Crash (which, btw, made me cry... the story was so touching!!!). the next day, i watched grandma's boy and just friends..... aaaaaahhhhhhh, so so contended. i just love watching movies, be it in dvd or the moviehouse.... it was a simple and cozy date... we were at the living room, eating pancit canton and junk foods.... can i ask for more? :)

chlorophyll drink; bluSkies

2006-06-13T22:15:00.001-07:00

marco gave me a bottle of chlorophyll concentrate. i know! it sounds so healthy, so pure, right? hehehehe.
i only tried it once coz i just got it last night, so i don't feel any effects YET. i was kidding him about taking it and then writhing in photosynthesis. that would be cool! i googled the said drink and all i can find are positive reviews. it eliminates toxins, supplies fresh oxygen to the cells, renews red blood cells, to sum it up: it gives inner make over!!! imagine all your organs packed with iron... your small intestines being deodorized.... ain't that great? two tablespoons of this drink to 500 ml of water looked scary!!! and i was thinking that it will taste nasty, but surprise! it's like you're drinking water only... with a very light, tolerable aftertaste. when you smell it, it smells of freshly cut grass though... but still pleasant. i don't mind drinking this elixir from time to time.

anyways, i've stocked bluskies Spring Onion crackers... it just taste different from other crackers... this one has spring onions, as the name of the flavor implies. tastes good with cheese or mayo... i just had two packs, so hugnry!!! oh yeah.... this canteen in our office has shut down... and we are left with mini stop's fried chicken and fried wanton.... eeeew. i can't live with that EVER FUCKING SINGLE DAY.... good thing, there's kambingan 136... i place my order through maymay!

also, dear friends.... try visiting coney's blog... http://coney-island.blogspot.com.

ciao!

my papa

2006-06-13T16:53:00.000-07:00

i forgot to greet my pops a happy father's day last sunday. but i greeted him yesterday...

fathers...!

i know that every girl will claim that they have the best father in the world. and i beleieve that we all have the most wonderful fathers given to us by God.

i cannot describe my relationship with my pops. al i can say is, we're close and i feel most comfortable when im talking to him. i can tell him anything i want. he gives the best advise and lessons.

i miss him too! and our midnight snacks and movie marathons!!!!

summer picnic; lazy bitch; cold weather

2006-06-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

next week i'll be attending our company's summer picnic and I can't wait to be there coz the whole gang (shan, vanek, maymay, karla) will be there!!! i heard that there will be some shopping stalls and spa treatments... i do hope that I'll have enough money to splurge.

I hate this person, im going to call her "lazy bitch". because she's so lazy. because she is a bitch. that's all.

it's getting cold here, YES!!! i love sleeping and using a blanket. haha. oh yeah. school year has started. you could just imagine the traffic jam. my god, it's so fucking awful. i hate it.
