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.


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

LAST NA. Gonna share more YouTube vids! Haha. Source of happiness ko 'to eh, promise! Wahaha. :) I'm going to upload my favorite vid here among my list, and the rest, I'll just link them up. Click away :)

For updating purposes only.

So there's the disclaimer up there, orayt? Don't expect anything much. Hehe.

I'm here in the DO so hindi rin ako makakapagblog nang maayos because I don't like the feeling that there are people behind me while I write stuff. Ewan ko, I just feel overly-conscious. Hehe.

So the hell week's finally over! Yay! :) I'm just waiting for next week now, for our finals. And after that, vacation baby. Yehey :) I have no plans yet, but I know that I'm going to enjoy my vacation because I've been waiting for the term to end for the longest time now. :)

So for now since I can't blog my heart out, check out my Multiply site for lotsa new pictures. And yeah, maybe you could check my newly-uploaded video too. Commercial yan. Hehe. And don't forget to comment! For my viewing pleasure :) Thank you folks ;)

Now the sun is shining. Pang-asar.

I named her "Gitarrenspielerfrau".

(German for guitarist's wife, because I'm no football player's fan. :p)

Whatever the name of the last typhoon was, nang-aasar siya! DepEd and CHED finally declared yesterday that there would be no classes today, August 9 because of the rain and flood. And now what? The sun's shining. I can even hear people now playing tennis across our house. Just means that the day's too dry now. Pft. I was thinking pa naman that my day would be a bum day, because the rains keep on pouring, dito lang ako, maybe either snuggling with my pillows and blanket, or DVD marathon-ing, or drinking hot coffee. Whatever. Thing is, the day didn't go as planned. Sana umulan mamayaaa.

Our flooded Simon street.
(also posted on my Multiply site)

That was the scenario yesterday, at around 630-7 am. Since this kind of flood last happened 12 years ago pa, my sister (akalain mo yun, ang aga niyang nagising! Or it could be na hindi pa siya natutulog..Haha) didn't let this moment pass. She took pictures of our front gate, together with the flood. Ebidensiya siguro para masabing we have a reason not to be at work/in school, if ever may pasok. Pano naman kami lalabas ng gate no?? Haha. :p


I was tagged by Ching last July 31 pa (I knooow, it's kind of late already), but since I promised her that I'd do this after all the hectic days in school, here it is. (Now I'm beginning to think that God gave us this free day for me to be able to fulfill a promise to a friend, however mababaw it might be. Haha.) :p

In the 8 facts about [your name here], you share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then at the end, you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.
* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

(Okaaay, I got it. Parang redundant nung instructions. Haha.)

1. Whenever I wash my hands at home (particularly inside the washroom, not in the kitchen sink), I always find this need to wet my feet too. Hindi pwedeng hindi.

2. I have a cabinet in my room where I keep my own food (chichiryas, to be exact), to make sure that I always have supply whenever there would be an "emergency". Haha. As if food will run out in this house. :p

3. Drinking cold water in the morning would make my tummy bad. And it'll last the whole day. *_*

4. I don't like strawberry cakes, strawberry ice cream, strawberry stick-o, or any other strawberry-flavored food (except Rebisco's strawberry-filled biscuits). But I love real strawberries.

5. I have an arranged way of brushing my teeth, particularly the gargling part. First gargle, the normal one, where you just have to..gargle. Haha. Second, still the normal gargle. Third, normal gargle, then the gargle where we have to tilt our head to make sure everything's been washed. Fourth, normal gargle. Fifth and the last one, normal gargle, then the tilting head gargle. :p

6. When I fold papers (like my school handouts), I fold it in such a way that the text is on the outside part (unlike most people where they fold it with the blank page on the outside).

7. I follow what I've heard regarding the "anklet myth", that when you're anklet/s is/are on the right ankle, you're single. And if it's/they're on the left, you're taken. Care to guess where my anklets are? (Technically, I am _______.) :p

8. I still have my shorts which I wear when I was five (or seven?) years old, and this has been passed on to me by my sister. And I still wear it up to now. Haha. :)

I tag...Ariane, Bea, Jeline, Mae, Marian, Normi, Pat, Rhiza. :)

I want Starbucks. Now na. TARAAA.

My rantiest rant.

I just feel like crying.

It's 2:30 in the morning, and I can't feel myself wanting to sleep.

I want to shout my heart out. My feelings, pains, frustrations, disappointment. But I just can't. Not in this blog, because this has been too public for me to put my most personal rants here. Hay.

And I'm too lazy to make a private blog (but I've been considering making one many times already).

I hate this. Suddenly memories come flashing back, and makes me more sad than ever. Sad because I know that they won't happen anymore. And if they do, it'll never feel the same way again, the way it felt the first time around. It's just really hard to explain myself. So it's not a problem if you don't read this post (because it's more of just having myself express what I feel right now).

And then there are those Friendster profiles. I just recently see myself lurking from one profile to another, and it made me miss the people I used to be close with. And seeing how they've changed. How they've changed since I started to be away (or kind of ). And it made me wonder more how they're doing now, without me in it. And it feels a bit depressing seeing those pictures, with their happy faces on it, like it wasn't really a big deal that I've been gone.

I am becoming paranoid, I know.

But sometimes, we just have these low times, right? So give me this moment.

I don't know since when, but I am becoming this person who finds it hard now to believe what people say to me. It's just like whenever someone tells me something (especially when it involves his/her feeling about something), I always think that there's always a hidden agenda behind all those words. It's just so hard to believe. Because when you do, you just find yourself tricked once again after believing and trusting.

I just want to bring back the days when trusting people wasn't a problem for me. :(
