Kismet.


Didn’t mean to take you for granted
Didn’t mean to show I don’t care
Didn’t mean to throw away this once in a lifetime of chance
Being with you

And I’ll drive for 2 hours
To bring Butterfingers
I don’t mind the distance
This kismet’s a dance

This time I surrender
My everything forever
Life doesn’t matter
Just our souls together


Pride no longer has room in me
On bended knees in public I cry

Your name for everyone to know that I love you, I love you

Please hear me now


And I’ll drive for 2 hours
To bring Butterfingers
I don’t mind the distance
This kismet’s a dance

This time I surrender
My everything forever
Life doesn’t matter
Just our souls together


Hope I could do this. Oh God help me.

ORIENT2 fun! :)

Magkkwento ako about my ORIENT2 1st session nung Saturday, September 22. :)

Spiritual Development and Career Planning Workshop

The day's worth sharing, 'coz I had LOTS of fun nitong Saturday na 'to! Some interesting topics, at the same time, over sa laughtrip! Haha. Truly, the people in my section (yung group namin especially, which was a BOYS group -- naligaw si bruha :p) made my ORIENT2 unforgettable. Haha. :)

Hearing from my other friends who have already taken up ORIENT2, I had this impression that ORIENT2 is just another Saturday to waste. (Kamusta naman, title pa lang seen on the caption of my photo, boring na pakinggan eh.) Well, it could be that we'd learn things, especially planning for our future, but because most sessions were boring, I had less motivation to go. But being a school requirement (and my parents paid for it!), I still went. (P.S. 8:30 am pa yung session..*die*)

(SEGWAY: I am so overwhelmed. Hindi ako mapirmi. Haha I duno why. I'm so giddy, I have so much to do, important and unimportant ones. Hehe.)

I am proud to say that I arrived school at 8:20. Yay! I had 5 minutes pa to pass by my beloved Discipline Office, to say hi to the people there, si Ms. Christy and Ms. Joey pa lang at that time. 8:25, I went to the ORIENT2 classroom already. We were made to answer the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II test, much like the Personality Plus test I took up at church. Pero this test would say if you're Extrovert/Introvert, Sensing/Intuitive, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving.

Based on my answers, I got the ENTJ temperament. Extrovert-Intuitive-Thinking-Judging. Hm. And this is the description.

"Hearty, frank, decisive, leaders in activities. Usually good in anything that requires reasoning and intelligent talk, such as public speaking. Are usually well-informed and enjoy adding to their fund of knowledge. May sometimes appear more positive and confident than their experience in an area warrants."

Not that far from my HS guidance test, when I took the test when I was in 2nd year (I think), I got ESTJ. Instead of Sensing, I became Thinking na in college. Hmm. This is the ESTJ description.

"Practical, realistic, matter-of-fact, with a natural head for business or mechanics. Not interested in subjects they see no use for, but can apply themselves when necessary. Likes to organize and run activities. May make good administrators, especially if they remember to consider others' feelings and point of view."

Still applies to me. Even up to now. And in fairness, both descriptions are similar to my Choleric temperament. Woohoo I love it. I love being choleric. :) Even if sometimes it makes me unpopular, still, I embrace my fabulous temperament. *Trash my Melancholic side!* Hahaha evil :D

So yun. Lots of activities were done pa (interesting lahat, actually) but if I tell everything here, wala nang magbabasa ng entry! Hahah! Because this would be an overly-egocentric entry na! :p Puro na lang ako, ako. Pero, that's what blogs are supposed to be, diba? Haha. Sabay save sa sarili. :p

Laughtrip sessions were when we had the group activities. One where we had to "shop" for needs seen in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Second, where we had this famous "end of the world but you can only save 8 people" activity.

Since I'm almost always destined to be one of the boys (Shucks, nagdududa na ko sa sarili ko ha..Hehe kiddin), I had this group wherein we were 10 in the group (Micko, Mico, Mon, Karwin, EJ, Mark, JOANNE [well, I am Jon in school naman so pwede na ring boy haha], and 3 others I don't remember the name..Sorry!). And we know what happens when a group is an all-boy group. Chaos na 'to! And that's exactly what happened. All our presentations were laughtrip, pero sensible ha, FYI. :p Bida namin in the group: MON! Dry humor grabe, he doesn't make faces pag humihirit siya, pero sumakit cheeks namin sa kakatawa! Hehe! I just can't describe how fun it was to be his groupmate, because my words won't justify just how funny he was. Whew. He's the funniest person I've met so far in my entire life. Haha! Ang sarap tumawa with the boys. No pretentions eh, walang poise tumawa. Hehe. And I love that.

And come this activity. Ice breaker daw according to our facilitator (Who was fun too, BTW. Former Lasallista eh.) kahit na na-break na yung ice. Haha. We played this game where the facilitator made each group line up in front of the blackboard. Then she will say a letter. Whatever that letter will be, it'll be the basis on how we will write our sentence on the board, kasi every word in our sentence should start with that letter mentioned. One member corresponds to one word in the sentence. So we have to come up with a sensible sentence using the letter that the facilitator gave us.

Trial Round: Letter A, English.

Our group came up with this: "An atis and apple aren't always appreciated, although are ample."

Ayos! We had the most sensible sentence among four groups! Kaso trial lang. Haha. After that trial parang ewan na yung mga sentences namin. Haha that's where the laughtrip really had its climax. Iba talaga mag-isip ang mga lalake. Iba!

How I wished talaga I wrote down all our nonsense benta sentences! Hindi ko na maalala sa dami eh! But here are some things I remember:

Letter T, English.

"Timothy the terrible terminated the teacher that taught thesis today."

O san kayo dun! Haha may sense pa rin pala kaming ginawa! Hehe!

Letter D, Taglish.

"Doon dapat dumating dati daw dumungaw doorway doctor daddy Doodle."

KAMUSTA NAMAN YUN! Hahah! DOCTOR DADDY DOODLE! Grabe I had a hard time getting over this, sobra! Hehe! XD

Letter M, Taglish.

"Mister Mcdonald Mark Miguel Martin Macapagal Mendoza mahilig mag-make money." (Names were altered na, I can't remember all the exact names we put eh!)

I loved this too, mautak eh. Gumawa ng ubod ng haba na pangalan para konti na lang sa huli. Haha!

Ito ata yung last round namin, laughtrip pa rin 'coz emo na yung dating eh..except for one word. Wahehe. At ako pa yung nagsulat. Nyahaha. Yun lang naisip namin eh! XD

Letter L, English.

"Love, lust, lies lingers, lasts, longer like lions, leopards, lepers."

San galing yung lepeeers??? Di ko rin alam! Heheh! Pero the sentence doesn't mean anything pa rin naman kahit wala yung lepers.. XD

Of all the rounds, we only got 1 point. At pinagbigyan pa kami nun wahahaha. BUT as Mon (bida!) said, kahit hindi kami nanalo or pinakamababa points namin, PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD naman kami! Wala talbog sila sa sentences namin! Hehe! :D

I'm loving ORIENT2. Haha!

Guys really ARE something. Pero pang-laughtrip lang muna sila talaga. Wahehe. :p

Hello second term. :)

My best hug I received for the day was from Ate Momi Normi. :)

Don't ask, I just felt the sisterhood from the hug. Ate Normi, thanks. AP na kita forever ha? I love the text and kwentuhan sessions. You'll still be my AP kahit I'm also with Tita Jet na. Para may builder Paul din ako. So I'd be Super Timothy with two wonderful Pauls. Yay I love it :)

Backtrack. I've been NOT blogging for quite some time now. Parang I didn't even blog about my one week term break. Haha. I was too tamad to blog about it, pero the term break went well rin naman. I wouldn't say that I've been productive (because my room's still a mess, lots of piles of papers from last term, kahit nga two terms ago eh haha), but at least I got all the sleep that I wanted. That's important. And paka-glutton everyday. Tapos di pa rin tumataba. O, wag mainggit. Exerting effort to gain weight (and stay sexy) isn't an easy job, you know. Teehee. :D

Finally, I got to visit Pat in her apartment (very) near my school last Thursday. And I love their place. (Sayang Momi Normi, hindi tayo nagkita dun.) It's gonna be my Thursday hangout place na. Pat and I just spent the whole afternoon playing games on their PC, and enjoy mataranta sa games, because we were supposed to meet Tita Jet for our first Paul-Timothy session, kaya lang being a very busy woman, Tita Jet cancelled at the last minute. Hehe. The games we played on the PC were Diner Dash, Bounce Out, Mystery Case Files, and other stressful games. Hehe. And oh, this is worth mentioning. Nilibre kami ni JV (Pat's cousin and our churchmate, living with them in the apartment) at Josiah's Restaurant at UN! Kahit hindi tuloy ang AP date, still, we ate there. Hehe. Loyal eh. :p And yun, nanlibre si JV! Pat and I were kind of broke kasi, so praise the Lord JV was there to save us from eating a not so yummy lunch. So masarap na pagkain ang nakain namin! Haha. :D

After that, we went back to the apartment to hangout. Kankan (Did I get the spelling right?), JV's girlfriend, also joined us in the apartment. Then sabay na silang bumalik at CSB to have class. So Pat and I were left there. Then moments later, Jovan arrived naman to hangout too, since it was his breaktime. Konting kape, games, iPod, at beanbag lang, okay na! Hehe. Jov left din after a while to catch his 6pm class. Then Kuya EJ arrived later. Haha puro salisihan yung mga tao. This is the part I regret that I left our cam at home, when in fact the previous days, it was just on my bag. Pffft. SBC mini-reunion yun. Meeting many churchmates all in one day. Haha. I left the apartment at around 9pm na (and I was there since 1pm haha adiiiik), because I so enjoyed staying there.

Next Thursday ulit. And the next. And the next. And the next. Yay! Haha :p

1st day high!
Haggard from commuting, but still. Fabulous. Hah. :p

Also, I just spent my first week of my 2nd term of this school year. And as a tradition, I always tell stories and my comments on my new professors. Masaya gawin, because when I look back in my archives (pag senti mode) and get to read them, some of my first impressions with my professors lasted for the whole term, but then, there are those where I hated the professor at first, but came to love him/her as time passed. Hehe.

COMSTA2 (Commerce Statistics 2). Looking and following my flowchart, I should have taken this subject nung 2nd term of my 2nd year pa. But now I'm in my 2nd term of my 3rd year na. So I'm one year late already. Why, you ask? Because there's usually only one professor who teaches this subject, and I've been hearing feedback that Prof. Malaya is not really that okay. I don't know why. Iba-iba e. But I had no choice. As much as I try to avoid her and wait for new professors to teach this subject, wala talaga. So the heck, I took it na rin. Haha. Wala eh, hindi ako makatakas. Hehe. As of now, I'm still not sure if she's strict or not, but what I know is she's kind of particular when it comes to attendance. (And this worries me, because she's my 1st period prof.) She even made us leave one whole column in our seating arrangement, and this column would be for latecomers in our class. I'M DOOMED. Haha.

PRODMAN (Production Management). It's cool to know that my prof here is a Christian, as in the same faith as mine. He inserts his experiences and testimonies from time to time when he discusses in class. Another thing I like about him too is Mr. Bolinao's a really humorous professor, kaya kahit papaano he doesn't make the class too bored in listening to him. Updated pa lagi sa latest news. Hehe. Mr. Bolinao is also my churchmate's (Tita Vi, who used to be a professor in DLSU) good friend. Being a quite quantitative subject (which, by the way, is one of my majors), medyo nakaka-worry lang na it's been three meetings already, and he hasn't taught anything quantitative yet. Well, we'll see about that. :)

BUCOTAX (Business and Income Taxation). My professor here in my law subject is a repeat-professor. Atty. Tomboc was my PARTCOR (Law on Partnerships and Corporations) professor last term, and obviously, I got her again because she's okay as a professor. Siyempre, I got a good grade from her last term, and this time, I am expecting the same, or even a better grade. :D

MANPERS (Personnel Management). Another one of my majors. My professor here is Mr. Paderna. Or is it a miss? Or whatever. Haha. I'm not really sure. Baka naman feminite lang. I have that to find out. I have a whole term (give or take, three months) to investigate. Hehe! Pero okay rin, Sir Paderna's makwela, so, so far, I don't get bored pa naman considering that the subject takes 1.5 hours. He also has workshop sessions, and I'm looking forward to it because mukhang masaya naman yun.

ENGLTRI (Advanced Speech and Oral Communication). A.K.A. public speaking. This is one subject I am taking this term that's quite unplanned. But anyway, let's not talk about that. My professor here is Dr. Lucas, she's the vice chair of the English Department of our school. My first impression: she's intimidating. (1) She has DR. attached on her name, indicating that she's an expert in the field, therefore having high standards; (2) She's the VICE CHAIR of the University's English Department. But. The moment she talked, I realized that she's not that I-am-a-sophisticated-English-goddess-so-bow-to-me-and-worship-me kind of professor. She's kind of reaching out to her students naman when she started discussing lessons. But. Two things I don't like: 1st, her voice. It's way too noisy and loud for me. Considering I am seated at the last row of the classroom, that is, before she arranged us alphabetically (which makes me seated on the 2nd row now). Call me rude and mean, but this is the only way I can make you guys imagine how irritating her voice is. Parang nag-e-English na palengkera. Ganun. But I'm not blaming her. Kung ganun talaga boses niya eh, so be it. I just hope she'll be nice to us to make up for her voice. Samaaaa. 2nd reason, she's easily irritable. Konting ingay lang, she'll shush us immediately with her matching "I am irritated" face. Haha. Pero comparing it to my other classes, looks like my English class would be a noisy class. Lagot hehe.

I have another subject, which is my Practicum subject. There's no fixed schedule, so we haven't met our adviser yet during this term. But we already know her, because she was our group's professor during our ENVSCAN (Environmental Scanning) days, and she was a panel member in our business plan defense (which by the way, got a grade of 93%, 3rd or 4th (ata) highest among 19 groups. Weee proud!). :D

Hello, second term. :)

Pampaganda ng blog page. Haha kiddin.

I stole from your Friendster, pare. (Just in case you drop by my blog. Haha.) I gotta see you dance again. Swear. Kailan pa yung last? When we were in 3rd year HS? C'mon. You've gotten better ever since, and I'm proud of you. :) Layo na ng nararating mo ha! Pero still, down to earth ka pa rin. Yes naman. Hehe. Thanks for the chat sessions, you always remind me that there's this Melman I can turn to when I feel like ranting or even telling great moments in my life. :) Can't believe we still keep in touch even if we really haven't seen each other for about two years na ata. Ganun talaga pag Jojo-Melmel tandem eh, noh? Basta mehn, thanks. I mean it. O, yung arranged marriage ha? Bwahehehe. Apir. Wuvyouuu Melman :)

I made this because..it's his birthday! Just a simple gift for a special person. :)

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MY MELVIN "MELMEL" (I call him that haha) MANALO! :D

The Power of Friendster

*Breathe in, breathe out*

I officially have a stalker.

Classics 2

Classics Style

The Most Brilliant God's Creation

My Inspiration

These photos are on his Friendster account with those subtitles.

My Friendster Shoutout: "Hey there, I am a damsel in distress. Can you be my Hercules?" :)

His Friendster Shoutout: "I'm not strong as Hercules..But I'm willing to be your protector..Forever.."

OMG. Kamusta naman yun.

Whew, that was a lot to grasp. Flattering yes, freaky, yes. Sure, I've seen my photos appear on different profiles in Friendster that aren't mine (way back pa when I set my profile for the public to see, which I don't really do anymore) many times already (I got to know these from my friends who were once confused on which profile is the real one), but this person. This particular one. He's different. 'Coz I know him, but I also don't.

I found out about his profile (BTW, we're not contacts in Friendster, second degree friends lang) when I was looking inside my inbox. I was browsing through my old messages when I suddenly saw a familiar headshot, that is, my photo nga. (He sent me a message na pala before, during my birthday. He just sent a birthday greeting. Too bad I don't have the habit of erasing old messages. Haha.) Of course I became curious on who this guy may be. Kasi I don't remember na rin eh. Then it dawned on me. It was HIM. Itong tatahi-tahimik na bata na 'to pero may kras na pala kay yours truly. Hahaha.

We know each other, but we really don't. I mean, yeah. We got introduced to each other once, and I see him once in a while. BUUUUT. I didn't have an idea na lakas tama pala ako sa kanya. Haha. Graaar. It's really flattering. But at the same time, kind of scary. Because behind that I-don't-care-with-what-is-going-on-around-me facade, may ganung tama pala siya. Hehe. Seriously, he's one of the guys I "know" na sobrang galing gumawa ng front. Hindi obvious, grabe. Well, maybe because we don't really talk. Pero c'mon, but when you do talk to someone who likes you, kahit konti (even if you're not sure), you feel if something's different di ba? With this particular guy, akala ko talaga wala. Then I suddenly see my photos on his Friendster..Kamusta. Haha.

I just blogged about it kasi I just don't know how to act now when I see him or whatever (even if he doesn't know that I lurk on his Friendster too). How are you supposed to act normally when at the back of your mind, alam mong may tinatago 'tong mapagpanggap na batang ito? Haha.

Funny world. Tawa na lang tayo. XD

And dear, maybe you would want to know me more first, because maybe I'm not the most brilliant God's creation (though I was really flattered by that. Teehee), which you think I am. Hehe.

Psychoanalyzing Myself.

Since I'm too tamad to update on what's new in my life now (mamaya na yun), here. I got this from Friendster. Haha. :)

Psychoanalyze Yourself:
Answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means.

(No cheating!) - Okay. Okay. I got it.

1. You are not alone. You are walking in woods.Who is with you?
- My special someone. Eeee *kilig* :)

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
- A deer. Si Bambi!

3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
- Something like Snow White's. Where the animals aren't scared to go near her. :)

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your DREAM house. How big is it?
- Uhm. My dream house is not appropriate if it's situated in the woods. Haha. So I'm just thinking of a small cabin, a cozy one. With smoke coming out of its chimney. Yung classic.

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
- Nope. Pero maraming colorful flowers yay :)

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
- I see lots of food. Tapos yung mga favorite ko pa. Like the house was really for me. :p Then around it are furniture and designs which are colorful and happy :)

7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
- Gusto ko mug. Yung may glittery water design outside it. Haha para kikay :p

8. What do you do with the cup?
- Pick it up and take it with me kung walang may ari. Hehe.

9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What kind of body of water is it?
- A flowing river. With crystal clear water.

10. How will you cross the water?
- Sugod ako. I like to feel the water. :)


THE INTERPRETATION:

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important person in your life. [Yeah, could be. Life partner ito, pare. :p]

2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life. [Ooh, so I have relatively smaller problems than other people? Siguro nga. I should be thankful :)]

3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. [Sooo..What does that mean? That problems aren't scared of going near me? Hahaha kidding. So I handle problems gracefully? Weh.]

4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems. [Haha. Ganon. I have a small ambition of solving my problems? :p]

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not to drop by unannounced. [So true. May colorful flowers pa akin, welcome na welcome! Hehe.]

6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy. [Yay! I have food! Haha. Bakit walang color? Dapat included yung color!]

7. The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship. [So ano yung akin? Matibay ang plastic ha! Hahahah :p]

8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude. [So I take everything as it comes? Haha gumagawa ng sariling interpretation, biased :p]

9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire. [Erm, pano naman, nilagay ko lang flowing river? Gano kalaki yun? Haha.]

10. The way you cross the water is representative of how easy or hard you expect your life to be. [I like this. So my life would be hard because it's never easy to cross a flowing river, but since I want to feel the water, okay lang kasi I'd enjoy every step I make. Yay :)]

Coolness. :)

Change of Heart

[I may or may not feel this way tomorrow or in a week or in a month, but what matters is I'M FEELING THIS WAY RIGHT NOW. So the hell I care about what people might say about this, I'm just frustrated.]

Suddenly, I don't like to have my term break anymore. I don't want to be stuck at home, aaaaaah!!!! So I have to book myself with lots (and I mean LOTS) of activities, gimmicks and anything..ANYTHING!! Basta anything to keep me busy! I don't want to have daydreaming moments (I've had enough of my dreams na pag sa gabi and whenever I get to sleep), overdose na! I don't want to be tulala all of a sudden, and start thinking (overthinking) about things! Nooooo wayyy.

I swear, I'm gonna have camwhore moments this term break, and lots and lots of going out! Para naman feeling refreshed when I get back to school. Besides, 1 week of having lots of fun with friends won't hurt, right? [Sana lang I have the money to go with all the gimmicks, haha.]

P.S. The melancholic temperament isn't working for me, promise. The only thing I like in myself when I'm in my melancholic mode is that I'm obsessive-compulsive. YUN LANG. I hate it when I analyze things too much, when I get so depressed-prone, when I get too sensitive. Masyado na kong madrama. Yes, I know that. And friends (even my bestfriend) even call me "emo" now. Waaaah yuck no! It's just not me (Or baka hindi ko lang tanggap). Nakakainis lang kasi melancholics tend to think things through before they leap into something, and when they do, it's EXPECTED to have great results. And if it doesn't, ramdam sobra yung failure. Because you thought about it SO MUCH, only to end up that even if you put so much of your time weighing the pros and cons, you still end up as a failure. And that angers me. It angers me, because it goes with my being choleric. That I have to keep my pride up. So Joanne = Choleric-Melancholic? It just doesn't jive.

It's time to veer away from my melancholic side, before it eats me. Strong, grabe.

I used to be a Choleric-Sanguine. AND NOW I WANT TO BE THAT AGAIN. [Nostalgic lang, it was when I was in HS nung Choleric-Sanguine ako. In my 4 years of HS, I don't think I cried more than 5 times because of personal problems. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Because I used to see the brighter side of things, that there's more to life. Bakit hindi ko na makaya yung ganun? The more I become mature physically, I become immature emotionally? Ewww. Kawawa naman ako. Haha. If I continue being like this, naku, patay. And I used to be perky and happy and contented with my life (aaah craving for innocence) pa. Those were the times when I just lived my own life, not worrying about what other people might say.]

Tapos ngayon, because I get so much attached to people, I often base my decisions with my own, PLUS what other people might feel. Tama na yun. I need to be selfish now, at least now. Because I've been living so long in a way that I've been getting too dependent on others. Tama na drama sa buhay, icky na e. I believe in happy endings too much now, and it's time to wake up and breathe reality in. That not everything will have happy endings. Not for the meantime.

I'm choleric enough not to care, and now, I KNOW I'm choleric enough to NOT be a melancholic. Sanguine friends, let's unite! I'll be joining the club, soon. ;)

P.P.S. AND now, Jon's shutting down her life first. Dare to enter? Papahirapan muna kita.

Quotes Galore and What I Think About Them

I'm in critiquing and commenting mode right now. So, here.

"They say nothing could last forever. Everything would have to end sometime. Although deep down inside I know they're right, here I am, still hoping against hope..That ours is an exception."
~ Haay. I want to be saying this to the right person. Sino kaya? Can't wait. :)~

"A simple thought to ponder: 'If someone wants to be part of your life, they'll make an effort to be in it.'"
~ Absolutely true. So, screw those who just come into your life and don't do anything about it! Hahaha. Pero meron din naman mga iba na even they don't do anything big, you still want them staying in your life. Weiiiird.~

"One cannot question the existence of feelings. They are there, raw and undeniable. But one can choose not to nurture what is felt. Yet, no matter what they say..What has been felt will always be more honest than what was chosen."
~ Aaah anobeh Ching, I love that quote. Haha. Thanks. It's truuue, right? Where you are right now and what you have chosen isn't always what you really want. Sometimes, we just have to go the other way, so that we wouldn't be experiencing too much pain. Problema sakin, most of the time, I nurture what I feel. I used to be a well-disciplined person when it comes to emotions. Now? Most of the time, I end up getting hurt. Haha. Don't ask. It's really weird, I think I have a mild masochist tendency (haha, seriously). I don't want to be hurt, but there's just this other side of me who can't live if I don't experience hurt once in a while. It's like I think that there's something wrong (or things are too good to be true) when everything's okay. Pffft. Well, I'm trying to be that well-disciplined girl again. I know I can be one. ;)~

"No matter how bad I feel, loneliness will fade and even disappear when I focus my attention in things I'd like to explore. There's a whole world out there and sometimes, it's better to have time alone to have the complete freedom to do them, without worrying about what other people will say. In the end, I don't really have to think of myself as a lonely person. Just someone who has been given some space to grow."
~ A very beautiful quote sent by Pat. I badly need this quote! Need to breathe this in and out! Have to learn this! Have to keep this in my mind and heart!! Really!! Hahaha :p~

"There are secrets hidden beneath their words. So don't let passion but wisdom decide for you. Love wisely, because it's never easy to love and get hurt."
~ 1st thought: This is a very melancholic quote! Doubts kagad. Haha. Well, if you look at it, it's really true. This just tells us not to trust anyone immediately. Take it slow. [I should learn that. Haha.]~

Enough. Haha. Til next time naman. :) On the lighter side of things, I just wanna share that masaya talaga kumain sa labas. Or basta, be with friends and family. I don't know when was the last time this happened, pero we had family time together last Sunday, August 26. Complete kami. Haha. We had lunch at Gourdo's at The Fort, pero originally, we were supposed to eat at Zong. Waaah. Kaya lang closed pa yung Zong. Anyway, too bad we didn't have our digicam with us, so no camwhoring. Boo.

Then nung August 27 (The Heroes' Day), Micko and I had tutoring at Magallanes (and I wasn't feeling great too, so it was better to go out). This was for our QUATECH final exam. Tawanan blues na naman shempre, what can we do? Baliw kami pag magkasama..Haha. Ate at Pancake House din, and we were supposed to have Starbucks naman after. Kaya lang, the Starbucks at Magallanes was crowded, so we decided to have coffee somewhere. So we went to The Fort (haha, balik na naman ako dun!). Nagbatobatopick pa kami kung saan ba, sa Gloria Jeans ba or Starbucks. If I win, GJ daw. If he does, Starbucks. I won. So GJ. Haha. Had kwentuhan sessions din about our pangaraps (Ang babaw nung akin no, kapatid? Masaya na ko pag ganun haha), mababaw man o malalim. Arrived the house at around 10, since we will be having finals pa the next day.

Gloria Jean's Coffee. (Starbucks pa rin wahaha)

Then yesterday, after having my QUATECH and PARTCOR finals, LJ texted me naman. Inviting me to have dinner at their place since it's his dad's 1st year death anniversary. Grabe, parang kailan lang. (I had a blog entry a year ago about this, click here.) But it's good to see LJ again, with his family. Her mom's really fine, and busy entertaining visitors. Marami din pumunta e. I saw Ate Manay (pero hindi ko ata nabati dahil I was getting food and she was busy too haha; with Ethan, baby boy. Ang laki na! and Kuya Chad, her husband) and Ate Tata (with Annica, her baby girl), LJ's sisters. And they were kind of surprised to see me there. Haha. I missed those people. I didn't see TJ though, hindi ko alam kung nasan siya. Mahirap magkakitaan sa bahay nila LJ e. Haha. We missed Ate Chel and Julia (her baby girl, and the 1st apo in the Ramos family) and Kuya Manuel (her husband), because they're now living in Canada. And I was also really glad to see LJ's cousin na naging close ko na rin, si Cousin Mike. Hehe. Apir. :) Gulat ka noh? Nice to see those people again. :) Pero medyo nahirapan ako mag-move around, because LJ's mom's friends and their relatives were the visitors, and ako lang yung friend ni LJ na nandun. Haha. The young amongst the elders. Hehe. But nevertheless, the food was good, and the company was good. :)

After the dinner, Micko picked me up at LJ's to drive me home, since gabi na. And since wala rin daw siya magawa sa house, he might as well have a roadtrip na lang. Hehe. Katipunan to Project 6 to Paranaque then back to Katipunan? Haha. Yun yon e. Sayang, we could've had gone to Eastwood pa to have eat all you can at Something Fishy, kaya lang hindi pa 12midnight nun e, and I promised my mom to be home "early". Haha. Mga 1030 ata ako nakauwi. :)

Weeee. Fun talaga when around friends. :) Tapos mas masarap talaga if may good food palagi! Hehe. :p
