i see red
I never really wanted to have too much red.. but I guess that's what you usually get from xpro'ed Fuji Sensia..
.JPG)  .JPG)    Christmas this year turned out pretty well except for that part when my mom and dad got into another L.Q. (lovers' quarrel) on Christmas day and we all ended up staying home instead of going to the mall to see a movie. They made up before the day ended and we all sat by the round table in our garden with that huge green umbrella, chattering away and trying to finish off the left-over foods from the Noche Buena. There's just so much food that until today our ref's still stuffed with things from the 24th!Speaking of Noche Buena, as usual I spent mine with family and relatives. Thony also came by and brought a cake for the whole family (pagood-shot ba). Oh and I also made some buko pandan salad.. my very first time. I did it with Tin and well, it turned out pretty fine and green of course. Kudos to us I guess! On the 28th, I spent the morning at Thony's house.. we watched movies and hoarded their pear-shaped ham. Hihi. I loved the ham. I just hope his brothers don't come home looking for it.. coz it's gone. After that (matapos pagsawaan ang bahay ni Thony), we went over to SM (para magpalamig lang).. where we met Jacel and some other Acts people. Since Jacel and I have an appointment with the other Biggies (my high school barkada's name) for the afternoon, the two of us went off to Gizzelle's house while Thony went home
Too bad I wasn't able to join the sleepover with my friends coz there's another slumber party going on at my own house so I had to go home at 9:30 to divide my time between the two events.. The sleepover at home was with my sister and cousins. There was so much happening around the house that night too.. what with the commotion that my sister's lovelife made that night (her boyfriend got caught doing something which he's not supposed to be doing..) and that mysterious lady which my cousin Patti reportedly saw at our bar counter downstairs.. Patti said that the "ghost" was even talking to someone on the phone (sosyal naman yung ghost na yun). Err.. I'm supposed to be scared now but since it's Christmas I won't be. C'mon ghosts don't show up during Christmas!! Or do they?! *shiver* Ok that's all for now.. My stomach's hungry again. Ciao. BTW, on the 23rd my family and I went around the city giving out the extra cavan of rice we had at home to some Aetas who came down from the mountains to solicit for food or a few coins from the city people. I can never fully describe in here how my heart was broken upon seeing how badly they truly need the society's attention and help to survive. I saw in them the face of Filipino Christmas.. sheer poverty. happy birthday Jesus (naks). Labels: blah, lomolove, making sense, photography 12.20.2007
All I Want for Christmas
Mood: reminiSCENT   Curve Cologne by Liz ClaiborneFragrance notes: fresh greens, warm wind, pepper, finishing with mahogany and water Curve reminds me of that Christmas Eve two years ago when Thony and Eric came by our house for no reason at all and we talked til it was almost time for Noche Buena. Thony was wearing Curve cologne which I swear could attract a huge percentage of the female population and make them fall head over heels. It stuck to everywhere he went and touched. The scent was there on the couch where he sat on, even days after Christmas Eve. It stuck to Devil (my red devil stuffed toy) which he placed on top of our Christmas tree and made me promise not to remove it from there but which I removed anyway coz I wanted to take it all the way to Singapore to remind me of his scent while I was away for the holidays. He wore it everyday to class so I knew he was sitting on a nearby armchair even if my back was turned to him. It stuck to his hankie which he left lying around somewhere and which I, as a former evil sneaky stalker, picked up and kept inside my memory box. He wore it on our final class Retreat in January wherein he hugged me during that particular part in retreats that you get to say thank you or sorry or i love you or whatever to anyone in class, with me thinking that it would be the last hug I'd ever get from him since the school year was about to end and we're parting ways for college. He wore it too during prom in February when he professed his undying love (ick, can't believe I'm saying these things in here) for me. He wore it in March at Carmelite Monastery where we officially became a couple (naks). The scent was just everywhere! Of course the bottle eventually emptied. Gamitin ba naman araw-araw siyempre mauubos helow. Ok, enough. Let's go back to Christmas coz it's what I was intending to write about in the first place. Sooo.. All I want for Christmas is this.. a small bottle of Curve cologne, so I could have Thony wear it and remind me once more of that very memorable Christmas which I thought was my first and last one with him.. even if little did I know, we were going to be spending a lot more Christmases with each other.  But hell I'm not willing to spend 2,000 pesos for one small bottle of perfume!.. Even if its scent really means a lot to me. So until now, I'm still hoping Santa has me on his list.. though I don't think I've been a very good girl this year. Haha!  Labels: showbiz lovelife 12.19.2007
not-so-secret love affair
Mood: chill-chill Yipee!  This morning, I finally received the package which contains the Fuji Sensia slide films I ordered from one of the nice people of lomomanila (huge thanks to kuya Jay Ravelo!!). I've been watching a pirated DVD of one of John Lloyd's movies (yep you read right.. believe it or not, I love John Lloyd coz he kinda reminds me of someone I know hihihi) with Bea when I realized that the package of films that I've been waiting for has finally arrived and has been sitting right beside the tv for hours already. Oo na mulala na kung mulala. Anyway, I've loaded the first roll and I can't wait to take Fishywishy out to shoot. The other babies are chilling in the freezer now...Let me tell you a secret.. I'm having a love affair... with FILM. Ssshhh.. Don't tell my boyfriend. haha. Pahinga muna ko sandali sa digicam and camera phones. Ooh it's six days before Christmas.. but I can't feel it just yet. Maybe tomorrow I will. But not today.. I'm still recovering pa kasi from the brain torture that prelim exams gave me. Well, the exams really weren't that hard if you ask me (or anyone else who took the exam maybe).. I just hate the reviewing part. It's torture. Ok, tamad na kung tamad. BTW, because of the exams Thony and I weren't able to do anything special to celebrate our 21st month which was last monday. All we did was review together at my home... But it doesn't matter.. Any day with him is special.   Ang kyut naman ng ice cream na 'to. Labels: blah, lomolove, photography, showbiz lovelife 12.09.2007
damsel in distress vs. notorious shih-tzu
Mood: enraged
Last night at the front porch... Ann: *happily and peacefully fiddling with the Fishywishy... Tin: *munching away a bar of chocolate... Potter the notorious shih-tzu: *lurking freely and mischievously around, supposedly looking for a prey... ...When suddenly.. the hyena-like puppy found Ann's sandal lying on a corner. Instinctively, she tries to shoo him away before he chews it to pieces... Ann: HOI POTTER!!! Potter (turns to Ann with a hungry-look while showing away his fangs): GRRR.... ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF!!!!!!! Potter runs after Ann.. Ann runs too and climbs the wooden chair.. Potter tries to jump onto the chair too.. Tin tries to stop the little devil.. Potter continues to ARF ARF, going for the kill.. Ann screams..! Ann climbs higher on the wall (literally) and holds on to who-knows-where, praying for dear life.. The crisis ends as the devil retreats coz he can't reach high enough for Ann and Tin shooed him away. Ann used to really love that dog, but not anymore. She swears to curse and glare at him everyday of her life and to never give him water again whenever he cries of thirst. POTTER SUCKS! .JPG) SUPPORT Ann's Anti-Potter Movement Labels: blah 12.07.2007
carnivals and cats
Mood: moody   People say that carnival rides make you forget, for those few seconds you're on top of the world, everything. It's just you, the adrenaline, the ringing silence, the cold air, and the dark but happy sky. Everything else is far away, minute.. with no one and nothing to bother you.
Ok whatever. But man if you're from around Angeles City you definitely wanna go to Clark's Boom na Boom and try this freakin' ride.. coz if not, then you're missing half your life! It's called the Super Loops.. walangya, muntik na kong masuka. You'll feel like a live human stuffed helplessly in a gigantic washing machine.  Warning: DEFINITELY NOT for the faint-hearted.. at magpray ka na rin na wag sanang masira yung mga bakal-bakal habang nakabitin ka ng pabaliktad sa taas ng ilang segundo... which felt A LOT longer. But don't worry, it only looks scary.. Err ok, it really IS scary. My cousins, sister and I had a lot of fun though. Even if we did swear (for the second time) to never come back.Anyway, on to other things... I spent Tuesday afternoon with Jan and Mitch at Jan's place. Jan introduced me to Bruce, only the cutest and most obedient cat I've laid hands on.. or probably the only cat I've ever laid hands on.. as far as I could remember.. I hate cats. They scare me. They're weird for a number of reasons.. as if they know something humans don't know.. But Bruce makes me want to own one.  I crave for one! Damn I want a Himalayan cat!
It's our school's University Week this week so we're not supposed to have classes.. but since Nursing is mercilessly brutal, pumasok pa rin kami kahapon. Ganyan talaga ang buhay. May mga bagay na dapat mo na lang tanggapin kahit masakit. Oh my God. Nalunok ko yung buto ng chico. Siyet. I wonder how long it would want to stay in my throat... Oh yes, it's stuck there. Talk about good luck. Thony and I are Dr. Pearl addicts.  Labels: blah, lomolove, photography |
Here are some proofs of me and my friends' camwhoreness. I missed them so much.. grabeng pagtawa yung ginawa namin. We had fun reminiscing the eras of our friendship.. with special attention to
