post away!

Okay! Okay! So we admit it. We succumbed to the pressure of watching an MMFF movie! Heeheehee! Yesterday we watched the movie of Juday and Ryan, (KKK) and I found it amusing. I like the way she does comedy, I think it’s better than when she is doing serious stuff and drama… There was a scene there, I won’t elaborate any more (for fear of Turon’s wrath) which I really, really, really wish I was able to do! Hay, sing with me now… “If only I can turn back time…” Moving on, I wrote something a few days back and I have no intention of posting it but someone is insisting on it. So here it is, POST AWAY!

Turon, my Turon. Where do I start? I met this guy years, years back when he was still a gangly boy, nothing but a part of a boisterous group of other guys who talks of nothing but Counter Strike, Mister Donut, CAPTURED!, AB girls, 1S2, etc. etc. He first talked to me via a text message together with a good buddy of his, just testing to see if I would reply. He coyly asked me if I was the one collecting the payment for our laboratory manual, haha! STYLE! Little by little I noticed him more and more. Suddenly he was everywhere, in front of me during our English class (though up till now he still insists that the reason he sat there was because of the aircon), on my phone calling me every other day (haha!) except Thursday of course, every minute ‘texting’ me asking trivial questions but sadly I would only reply yes and no cutting our text conversations short. As days pass by, his calls and text messages would get more frequent, it came to a point wherein we would stay until 12mn, (or until my big sis goes to sleep, whichever comes first) just to talk on the phone. We started getting to know each other more and I started to get used to this guy knowing personal things about me. I had gotten used to his ugly voice on the phone :p, his morning greetings via text message and his good nights at the end of each day. To say it simply, he grew on me. His presence became an exciting factor of my college years. We would talk and talk for hours on the phone but not say one word to each other in class… that is until I called him on that. That was when he decided to finally talk to me in class. That day everyone’s eyes were on us, that was the day when everybody knew that something was up, that was the start of endless teasing and joking. That was also the start of our roller coaster ride of courtship. According to him that was the only time that he courted somebody, which also made it the first time he got busted… twice. OUCH! Talk about first time. Though that did not stop him, he still persisted which I must say paid off! Looking back to our start definitely brings a smile on my face (I dunno about him though, LOLZ).

To talk about our relationship would take up days and days on end. Needless to say we have our fair share of relationship problems, heck I would even say that we have more than our fair share of troubles. We had our first fight merely a month after we got together and our last fight just hours ago… LOLZ! When there are a lot of arguments going on, it just means there’s a lot of passion between the two of us. I have hurt him and he has hurt me. But even with that, we can’t seem to leave each other. Heaven knows how much he has hurt me, still I stick with him. My Turon, never did it occur in my mind that someone would try to breaks us apart. I have been living in such a sheltered life, with friends and family all wishing that we end up together. What a slap in the face, a wake up call. In the real world, nothing is that easy. Countless times I have mulled over leaving him, yet at the back of mind I know that being with him still is the best choice for me, for my happiness. And I know that he thinks the same as well. Even with our helluva serious problem, we still tough it out and just see where the wind brings us, ‘Bahala na si Batman’ ika nga.

Being in this relationship has taught me a lot of things, being patient for one, and being less bratty and spoiled as well. He has taught me how to be understanding of others’ needs, be caring and concerned for other people before myself… and for that I thank him, for all the experiences, happy memories, ugly and sad ones and for the future memories that we would be making as well. I thank him for teaching me how to be strong in this world and also for teaching me how to wage war with b!tcH<$/$lut$ who just wont quit. (Hello?? Get a clue!).

I can say that he has truly enriched my life with his mere presence. He is able to bring color and excitement with each day that I’m with him. I cannot predict my future, nor the future of our ‘volatile’ relationship. I can only hope that no matter what more hardships and trials that we face, we may be able to weather through it and come out to be a stronger and more resilient couple. I can only pray that whatever the future holds for me, that it will still include Turon, my Turon.

Christmas

Last December 23, Turon and I went to the Shangri-la Mall and we saw the San Miguel Christmas Music Festival with the San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra and the San Miguel Master Chorale and they were led by Mr. Ryan Cayabyab. They sang not only Christmas songs but other compositions of Ryan Cayabyab as well. I must say, watching them perform really put me in the holiday mood, especially with their red and greed sparkly costumes. =) It was my first time to see/hear a concert like this and just hearing the applause of the people watching made me have goose bumps. hehe. Happy New Year!

good deed!

We went to Starbucks last night because we were already soooooo sleepy… just needed something to wake us up. We already have our planners so no need for the stickers… I know Tin is still collecting but! We won’t be seeing each other until January 3, so what to do with the receipt??? While we were at the ‘condiments’ (don’t know what’s it called… haha) area, Turon saw a couple with the card almost filled up and he told me to just give it to them… and so I did! There you go, our good deed for the day! =) Merry Christmas to them, whoever they are!

a week that was


What the heck??? Uh-uh, a lot of catching up to do. Let me see if I can recall everything…

December 9, Saturday

Turon’s company Christmas party was at 5pm so I was at mall by myself for the first time after a long time… =) I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet, still I didn’t do any shopping (heehee tamad talga ako!) I decided to go to the gym instead (to finish the 8 sessions!) and after that I went to the parlor! Hot oil and hair cut! Personal day my dears… =)

December 10, Sunday

Turon and I met up at around 11am. It was such a busy day for both us. By the end of the day we were both so tired and stressed from all the Christmas shopping! We first went to Tiendesitas (first time!) I found it quite charming, especially since the weather when we went there was cool. It was drizzling/raining the entire day. I almost felt as if I’m no longer in Manila, heeheehee. We got most of our gifts there, but then according to Carla, items being sold there were pricey compared to other tiangges. Oh well, we enjoyed our trip there. =) After that we went to Market! Market! to continue our spending spree. LOLZ! Soooo many people. By 5pm I was already grumpy! Hahaha.

December 12, Tuesday

HP Christmas party! Cel and I started our day early. We were at the Mall of Asia at 11AM! Logistics girls we are!



After cramming for the props of the AMG group, it was time for us to harass the light tech guy… (whatever he is called) for the lights for the presentation. GO AMG!



It was such a fun night! Merry Christmas HP!
P.S. Derick won in the raffle! IPOD Video 80GB!

December 14, Thursday

Mine and Turon’s baby was born! Thank you thank you baby! *MWAH*



December 16, Saturday

Continue with the Christmas shopping and gift wrapping! I stayed until 2am just to finish wrapping our gifts. Certified crammer talaga!

December 17, Sunday

Christmas Party RTCIS Style at the Holiday Inn! I went as Alice in Wonderland while Turon went as a dwarf, Bashful to be exact! =)


Love you Bashful!!!

PPS: New motto for me...

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you’ve never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth…

feelings...

Can’t help it, I feel sad…

Interesting weekend

Last Saturday we went to see the new James Bond movie at a particular mall I won’t say which mall. Anyway I’m really not particular with how you behave in a theater house just as long as you mind your own business and BE QUIET! But what do you know, the people surrounding us all decided to speak up. They had a comment on every freaking thing that’s happening on the movie!!! And (spoiler alert!) when it came to the part where Bond’s love interest turned against him, this lady kept on voicing out her shock. I mean HELLO??!?!? Get over it!!!! AARRGGHHH!!! Another thing, the 2 girls on our left kept talking and talking about their lives. So basically they decided to catch up on each others lives right then and there. And the guy on our upper right side wanted everybody to know that he in fact has a cellphone and what do you know, the cellphone rings!!! And rings and rings and rings every 15 minutes!!!! Listen people, when in a movie house respect the fact that other people are watching too and that not everybody wants to hear your comments! So IF YOU MUST comment on anything let only your companion hear it. Cell phones, they must be in silent mode! And a movie house is not the place to talk about what’s happening on your lives! Just watch the movie!!!

Moving on, Sunday, while hearing the mass with my family I had a realization about my life. It was something quite important and could potentially be something that could end my… unhappiness =(. It was during the singing of the ‘Our Father’ part that I thought about it. The priest discussed about the reasons why we pray the Lord’s Prayer and what he told us, really struck me. Oh well, I just hope that this realization can really help me… get over it!

lost girl

Lately I’ve been feeling a little lost…



Maybe it’s because of the season… it’s Christmas! It’s supposed to be a happy time… yet somehow I’m not. Well actually somtimes i'm happy and sometimes i'm not... maybe Cel is right. Anyway, on a completely different and unrelated topic...

Just want to show off my new shoes... LOLZ



Tuesday, November 14, 2006

NO. Not yet...

I noticed in my testimonials in friendster that a few people are asking me for invitations to my wedding… and a few days back, an old friend texted me and asked me if it’s true that I’m already married… WHAT’S WITH THE WEDDING THING PEOPLE??? I’ll be attending one in the near future but IT’S NOT GONNA BE MINE!!! I’m not married and I’m not getting married anytime soon… kapeesh? Good! =)

Anyway, moving on, I just started using Photoshop… heehee… and here’s what I came up with…

christmas time!!!

Everywhere I go now, I keep hearing Christmas songs… and it makes me sad. I hear it in all of the malls I go to and even in the office. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Christmas, in fact I used to be soooooooo happy when it’s Christmas season. It’s just that… uhmmm… nothing… the season now makes me sad, I hope this feeling ends… and soon!!!

Confused

I’m sad and happy at the same time. I’m sad because my grandma is getting weaker by the minute… I hope she gets as well as a 92yr. old woman can be… Doctor’s say they’ll try their best but you know how it is… i just keep thinking that she’s 92yrs. old, she already lived her life…

On the other hand I’m happy because somebody near and dear to my heart got his dream! He got accepted to a new company! Wheeeee!

Men and women… ladies and gentlemen… girls and boys…. Are we really that different??? I mean, were all human beings!! Was just talking to Cel about it, I gave her a situation, and we have the same interpretation… turon on the other hand… OMG! Guys are just so dense. Another thing, they so cannot get hints!!! Wonder why… of course, us ladies also have our faults… guys often say that we give too much meaning to simple things… hmmm… I guess that just because were smarter? Hehehe… By the by, I think I’m just gonna stop here… I can’t put into words what I’m feeling now… Just this, in Celay’s words… MEN ARE FROM MARS…. PERIOD!

GO USTe!!!!

Just went to St. Luke’s with my mom… I was having difficulty in breathing these past 2 days… I’m 24 yrs old and there I was with my mom at the hospital, I feel like such a sickly kid… I’m actually kind of scared ‘coz according to the doctor I might have bronchial asthma… now that is an ailment that you will take for the rest of your life… and.. I don’t want that. Hope it’s just an allergy… anyway, nothing new with my life these days, actually it’s kind of routinely… work, turon, home, turon, gym, turon…. ehehehehe.

Oh and I just finished seasons 1 and 2 of HOUSE! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! Imagine a marathon of 40 plus episodes of house! Talk about series overload! He is soooooo sarcastic and miserable but in a weird way, it works well for him. I remember a line from one episode there that is worth pondering about…

“you live with dignity you can’t die with it”



UAAP basketball just finished!!! GO USTe!!!!! After a very very long time, 10 years to be exact!!! This is so exciting! Even though I graduated 2 years ago! Feel na feel ko pa din! LOLZ! Imagine the whole five years I was studying there, not one championship! So frustrating! I want to be a student again!!!!

Ever After

Five years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this road, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
‘Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine

Emotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you, I want to make it right

Work-Life Balance?

It’s a common knowledge to everyone close to me that I really had a hard time during the 4th quarter of the year 2005. It really was a crappy couple of months both on my personal and professional life. I had problems coming at me from all sides! Crazy crazy crazy times! Lovelife was going way way down… (caused by a monster! monster! monster!) and my work…. let’s just say I became a loner during my first few months at my work. Now everything seems to be going fine… better than fine (can’t think of a better word). I now even enjoy going to the office… of course not because of the work but because of my workmates… =) I have a scheduled Work-From-Home today but I still chose to go to the office. Hahaha. (Gabz and Jam don’t be too flattered!) Most of them are now my close friends. We even go out together! It’s not enough that we see each other every single workday. LOLZ! So happy that I got to know this group of people. Especially my girls, Tin and Cel! *WINK*






those were the days…

those were the days my friend

we thought it'll never end

those were the days

oh yes those were the days...



I found this old photo… from way before… not way, way before… maybe 2 years ago. See how very thin I was??? Oh yes those were the days! Haha. I look like an addict. How I wish I can be like that again, well maybe not LIKE that… a few pounds more than that… Oh well, there’s always Gold’s Gym! Which reminds me, GOTTA finish that 8 sessions!!! LOLZ.

We all have moments of desperation, if we can face them head on that's how find out just how strong we are…

I was watching Desperate Housewives the other day (I know, I know I’m quite late…) and I heard Mary Alice say this line to Susan when the latter found out that her husband was cheating on her. And then it hit me… just how true this line is. We all experience low points in our lives, it may be brought about by our family, maybe friends, maybe work… generally by someone or something we really love. We get disappointed when we don’t get something we are desperately hoping for. We get hurt when we lose someone we love. We get our hearts broken, sometimes not just once. There comes a time when the desperation becomes so unbearable that we just give into it and just wallow in our misery. As fun as wallowing is, we do get over our heartaches and pains, which goes to show just how resilient the human heart really is… we just realize one day that the storm has passed and the future is once again shining brightly in front of us… and when we look back we realize just how strong we are.

Every person has their share of pain. Every person has their ways of facing their pains. We may face our problems differently but the end result hopefully is always positive, always the same.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.... c",)
