life isn't just about dieting...

2012-02-05T23:45:00.001+08:00

I’m excited to sleep, and to dream. Cause it’s the only place and time, that I can be with you.

2012 - challenge accepted!

2011-12-31T15:38:00.004+08:00

I remember for 2011, i wished to find someone who can make me feel like i'm living the teenage dream. I may not have found that someone, but i had more than i asked for. I found, and i'm sure i will keep forever, new friends who made me feel young always. Though our metrics will probably be the number of gimiks, wine nights or inuman sessions, which is a FUN and achievable metric mind you, im sure we go farther than that. :)

2011 was not a good year for me. But im thankful for true friends who kept me sane the whole year. So, you know who you are, thank you soooooo much (melai mode)! I'll be loving you guys long time :)

This 2012, things could only get better. This is going to be my year! Wooohooo, year of the dragon! I won't wish for a teenage dream, just someone who will share the silence with me. :)

2011-12-31T02:46:00.001+08:00

I miss you!

2011-12-18T16:11:00.000+08:00

This has got to be the worst wingfest ever. #winterwingfest2011

2011-11-13T23:50:00.001+08:00

Someday i'm going to write about this too.

2011-08-18T01:21:00.001+08:00

I wanted a rest from studying, so i went ahead to amuse myself by reading old posts (again!). Look at the drama moments i had! I reposted them below. I was kinda thinking these feelings should have been gone. I did a heart check, they're still there. :(

****

I am beginning to hate you. I am teaching myself to hate you. You were a factor on what is nonexistent anymore. You triggered everything. And then you left me hanging. You made me think there was something to hold on to. With how you look at me, what you say to me, how you are towards me. It really got my hopes ecstatic. I was high for a while. Enjoying what was given to me on a silver platter. Only to find myself falling hard on the ground. With no one to break the fall.

***

I know it was assuming for me to think that. Looking back, there really wasn't anything to hold on to. I assumed, I gave meaning to little things that should have been ignored. I was naive after all, blinded by what I see myself to be.

2011-08-06T16:35:00.002+08:00

I really couldn't stand it if I'm alone. I need to be with people. We don't need to talk, I just need to know someone's there with me. Intellectual conversations are a plus. Funny conversations, even more. But for someone known for being loud and talkative and well yeah sometimes hysterical and non-sense - hanging out, bumming around or just finding comfort in the silence of being together is enough, more than enough.

Share the silence with me?

2011-06-14T21:41:00.003+08:00

Minsan kasi pwedeng mag-isip.

Minsan kasi pwedeng magtiwala.

Minsan kasi pwedeng wag makialam ng bonggang-bonga.

Minsan pwedeng hindi ma-stress!!!

Ako ang nasstress sa inyo eh. :|

almost burned out

2011-05-23T14:00:00.003+08:00

Just thinking about work makes me tired. I'm seriously not enjoying whatever i'm doing now. My heart is just not into it anymore.

2011-05-07T16:54:00.002+08:00

Sometimes it takes a long winding road to reach your destination. Taking the shortest route may not always be the best case.

wishful thinking

2011-04-19T12:27:00.003+08:00

i want to be...

the one you always look for
the one you talk with
the one you miss
the one who makes you laugh
the one you want to hear laughing
the one you think of when you thought of something nice
the one you buy gifts for
the one you eat with
the one you chat with
the one you call
the one you write to
the one you know will make you happy
the one you want to be with

when will this happen, i wonder.

2011-03-25T13:21:00.003+08:00

It's a sad reality, that in the process of making some things right, there are others which you'll tend to neglect and eventually lose.

This is so true. And I don't know how to freakin go about it. :(

epic night

2011-02-27T22:36:00.005+08:00

While most of Manila was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the EDSA revolution, we were partying at Fort Distillery, getting drunk and sbuzzed! Epic night ever. 1L Kurant, 1 Sky, 1L Kurant (again) = 10 people sbuzzed and camped in at the pyramid's loft. One of the best nights ever!! If only I can remember half of it. :)

I am so happy to have them for friends. You know who you are! :) You have never let me down, mapa-sad or mapa-happy moments man ako, you were always there. Love you long time!!!! ♥♥♥

2011-02-20T20:27:00.003+08:00

I am anxious for tomorrow. Really didn't see it coming. I hope everything turns out ok. Oh please please.

2011-02-07T20:56:00.003+08:00

I'm just glad there was no discomfort in our silence. I guess things will slowly get better. But I'm sorry my guards will continue to be up. I'm sure we are not targeting the same level of comfort/closeness as before. It will be a long way before that. But it's a start. :)

2011-01-19T11:31:00.002+08:00

Just echoing something i read from tisha's blog: " i think the saddest feeling in the world is being surrounded by friends and yet feeling completely alone."

So true! I feel the same sometimes, most of the times, often times. It's so sad already. I need to spice things up. :)

2011-01-01T01:30:00.007+08:00

It was one hell of a crazy ride. There were a lot of ups and downs, but i'm still standing! So i guess now I'm even better, bolder and probably bigger too! :)

This year,i may have lost a few loved ones,and got estranged with a very loved friend. But what I lost, I gained in many different ways. I was asigned 2 months in France, I got a 5.0 CSAT, I'm happy with my family, I got closer with wonderful friends who kept me happy, sane and buzzed the whole year! There were just so many blessings which I'm all thankful for.

I just hope 2011 would be more awesome than 2010. It should be legendary!

Here's to more opportunities, more blessings, more church time, more quality time, more happiness, more parties, more friends, more spontaneous lakads, more bondings, more videoke, more food trips, more beach bumming trips, more coffee breaks, more movie fests, more beer, more food, more money, more fun work, more workout hours, more excercise and more love!

I'm ready for you 2011 :)

The year that was:

Jan-Feb 2010: start of alcoholics anonymous; taty's boracay wedding, tons of videoke sessions.

Mar-Apr 2010: Boracay with pisay girls, MES cutover, Playa Calatagan, last frisbee league played in 2010, office kulitan at kung ano-ano pa.

May - Jun 2010: 2-month business trip to France! Sidetrips to Belgium, Germany, dalaw from WMI folks, shopping, biking, drinking!, tram almost-accident, cooking, zoolander pose, heilderbeg schloss, rental cars, fete dela musique..ang dami!!

July-Aug 2010: birthday!, cutover supports, birthday!, coron palawan, bowling champs, more office kulitan

Sep-Oct 2010: annual baboy dinner at Melo's, MMCS Boracay (again!), foodtrips, attica nights, trick or treat, baby ethan!

2010-12-16T03:02:00.002+08:00

going through old posts from old blogs is so much fun!!! and I saw one of my favorite quotes. Super senti! Mas senti pa sa #sentisabado!

If pain must come, may it come quickly because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

- Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

Melai to self: "Don't act like you're heartbroken! You were the one who broke someone else's heart."

:(

Can't i cry? My heart was broken too you know.

2010-11-28T23:03:00.004+08:00

even if i was the bad guy in the story, i still feel the loss you know. i still feel the hurt. yes i feel the guilt, yes i feel your pains, and yes i feel your anger. and maybe you don't hear anything from me now, but it doesn't mean i don't share those pains as well. it doesn't mean i don't think about it. it doesn't mean i don't think about you, it doesn't mean i don't care. cause i'm also broken, i'm also at a loss. and i'm also hurting. cause even bad guys cry. most of the time in my case.

try to be happier okay?

2010-11-26T02:13:00.000+08:00

i miss you :(

2010-11-23T02:07:00.002+08:00

and i thought i could do this. i thought im strong enough. but how come sometimes i still find myself crying? especially right after i make that turn to the gate. cause i was hoping i could just go straight and make a quick stop there, just like old times..but of course i can't, because then everything will be in vain.

i just hope you're doing fine, coping with things and stuff. cause i know you're stronger than you think. this isn't any easier for me, contrary to what you may think. i get super lonely too, i miss what used to be. but hanggang dito na lang muna ata talaga. :( i just hope life treats us better next time.

2010-11-06T22:41:00.003+08:00

my eyes are tired from crying. but i can't stop crying. because i feel these tears are not enough for all the pains i have caused him. i feel i shouldn't stop crying until he has dried his eyes as well. and i don't deserve to be happy for now. this is karma working on me. so i will continue to cry. let these tears be a testament to the love, to the loss, to the regrets, and to the hopes that one day we'll be alright.

2010-10-31T19:48:00.002+08:00

what's better, feeling nothing OR feeling giddy over something that is somehow bound not to happen?

i think i've asked this many times before. most of my friends might have even tried to convince me what's better. but i don't know, parang once in a while di ba you'll get the feeling of uhm feeling nothing? (haha labo). pero yung you're neither sad nor happy. you just go with the flow - wakeup, go to work, party, sleep. Yeah good times, but at the of the day, when you think about it, there was nothing deep and meaningful that happened to you. Like it was just another day.

But the thing is, i don't want everyday to just be like any other day. I want to keep special memories from each day, do things that would make life more meaningful, more exciting, more fun, more intellectual. Fuller - if there is even such a word.

But ayaw ko din naman to feel giddy over things that im not even sure of happening. The least i could do is to start planting those seeds (in apollo's words hahaha) and hopefully harvest the fruits soon.

So where am I getting at? Don't know. I think for now I'll just go with the flow. Enjoy life, love (or lack of haha), food, and the company of friends. and cold beer! and pizza! And then who knows, life would be fuller from here onwards. Ces't la vie!

2010-10-24T10:14:00.003+08:00

They say true friends are hard to find. But i think sustaining one is even more difficult. As unapproachable and unfriendly I sometimes tend to be, I think I don't have any problems with making friends. But I may have issues with being a good one.

..nosebleed na ko..

Ang hirap pala maging friend minsan. Lalo na kapag ang dami mo ng emotional investment. Sometimes the wrong expectations are set. Sometimes innocent lines are misinterpreted. Minsan nakakapagod, minsan nakakaloka. Pero at the end of it all, masarap pa rin yung feeling na may kaibigan ka na tatakbuhan kapag may problema ka, or merong tatawagan kapag wala ka lang makausap. Yung pwedeng sumama sayo sa coffee break, shopping, sine. I think I wouldn't trade all that to free me from feeling "hay-ang-hirap-naman-maging-friend". Because there is always a certain peace in knowing someone got your back.

Death -- goodbye Fluffy

2010-09-15T01:35:00.003+08:00

My askal puppy Fluffy just died. :( I arrived home and saw that he was just slumped in the ground and having a hard time breathing. So i was stroking his back the entire time. He was crying, super I feel that he's in so much pain but I couldn't do anything, except just tell him i love him. I was sitting on the ground with Fluffy for about 30 minutes, then Aba (his mom) came and started licking him all over. I knew it's going to be over soon. Then after a while his head just collapsed on the ground, then he wasn't breathing anymore.. :( :(

I was crying the whole time, even until now as I'm writing this. I really got so emotional I had to wake up my sister.

I guess death is just too much for me to handle...

Some say we shouldn't be afraid of death, cause it's a natural occurrence so might as well just be prepared for it. Pero for me, parang di ko talaga kaya. I don't think I'll ever be ready for it. Not with me dying, but for someone/something close to me being gone. I cannot even imagine what will happen. Kaya I'm amazed how other people like Ate Carla are able to handle it. Baka naconfine na ko sa mental. Aso pa nga lang, super down na ako.

I think the problem is I get attached so easily and I find it hard to let go. I have separation anxiety. Or I'm just emotionally weak. Kaya I try it hard to always be happy kasi when I get down, I really can cry a river.

To Fluffy, I know you're in dog heaven now. Watch over whitey ha, tell him wag na maging makulit.

there's no getting over you...

2010-08-25T21:52:00.003+08:00

..if there's no real closure. more so that you never even had a chance to talk about it, but instead chose to go different ways, never looking back. There will always be those what if questions that will bug you, and for sure you'll never get over.

hey

2010-08-23T22:51:00.001+08:00

where are you? talk to me, i miss you.

2010-08-04T22:03:00.000+08:00

if getting hurt is the only way to know how it's like to be with you, then so be it.

birthday weekend!

2010-08-02T19:39:00.004+08:00

I never thought turning 27 would be a blast!

Friday: Absolutely no work was done! Dinner was spent with the girls, then went to Bugsy's to get wasted with officemates. Pakshet ang burn bugsy's burn na shot, i loove it! Then banchetto at emerald and tambay sa cute na cute na condo nila ivin. lol. Went home at 6AM, july 31.

Saturday: Was supposed to have lunch with the family but I overslept! And dad had to go to Batangas so I just bummed in the house until dinner. Lagro friends came over, sinundo nila ako so they can drive orion. hehe. Went to Timog for dinner and drinks. Pia and Ivin also came over. In the end, wasak na. haha. Sa totoo lang jencarps wala ako maalala so yung mga malisya lines na sinasabi mo, i think imbento lang ni pia yan! hahahaha.

Sunday: Overslept! Sakit ulo sa hangover, but not the usual hangovers i get, buti na lang. Kung hindi ill be bed ridden the whole day. Went to mass, then had dinner with family. Tapos I met BsTambay peeps sa skygarden. Thank you for the starbucks collection!!! I am now a certified coffee addict.

need you now

2010-06-29T17:43:00.000+08:00

it's a quarter after one, i'm all alone and i need you now

and i said i wouldn't call but i'm a little drunk and i need you now

and i don't know how i could do without, i just need you now

LSS much!!! ganito ba pag semi-OFW? :)

just a thought

2010-06-22T02:56:00.002+08:00

If love makes you act stupid, think stupid - is it even worth it?

So last night turned out to be nice.

2010-06-16T16:12:00.003+08:00

I got a call from my bestfriend who was not at his best times last night. (I hope everything will turn out ok for him. Basta i'm always here to support you :)) Then I ate strawberries while Tess consumes her pasta in front of my face while I'm desperately trying hard to win my 1 work week all fruits diet bet. And then we watched Brazil vs North Korea with Mac. And it was nice to somehow catch up with an old "dear" friend. Where "dear" pretty much has a lot of definitions attached to it.

Just the same, with the crappy mood I'm always in lately, it was a nice breather.

alive!

2010-06-14T22:49:00.002+08:00

I missed my bloggie! At times like now where one post is replicated in all your other sites, I kinda miss having this blog to write just about anything on my mind. Without character count limitations or privacy restrictions. (hmm but I may have to check where this one will get replicated, it has been years literally since my last post).

Anyway, I'm here in France! for quite sometime now. And it's torture torture torture. Not the work. Just everything in general. Don't know why, or maybe I know why, I just couldn't admit it to myself. Or maybe I really don't know. Basta ang weird ko lang ngayon, whatthefudge!!!!

Parang ang saya ulet mag-blog. Irerevive ko nga ulet ito. :)

trip to Deutschland!

2008-12-10T23:23:00.008+08:00

Last week was SIT for my Project and I was sent off to a nice little town in Altfeld, Germany where the warehouse is located..alone! I stayed in this nice and cozy hotel near the river where old married couples usually go for dinner and bfast consist of bread and cold cuts. yum.

This is were I stayed

And then on the weekend before I leave for Manila, I stayed at Taty and Marcus' place. It was nice!! Taty is such a neat freak :P

Friday night was spent drinking Gluhwein (christmas wine with shots of rhum, served warm -perfect for winter!) at Frankfurt Chrismas market and drinking beer at someone's place. Taty introduced me to her friends, all of which are couples! Taty you disappoint me hahahahaha. Why do I always end up in a group where I'm the nth wheel?! :)

They said Filipinos always do this sign when their pictures are being taken. Di kaya! haha

I didnt know you can drink beer anywhere in Germany. It was unbelievable, just drinking beer while walking, while in the train, anywhere! You can never do that in Manila. haha imagine the chaos.

Saturday, Taty and Marcus prepared a Bavarian bfast which means pretzels, sausage and beer! yes, beer! so early in the morning, could you imagine?! Good thing I slept off the hangover from last night. Acck it was unbelievable.

Marcus showing the right way of pouring the beer

Bavarian breakfast

We were supposed to go sledding that day but it was too warm. Ha! So Taty and I went shopping. We found cute german kids singing carols! Ang cute. Imagine mo taty ung kids mo kakanta din jan someday! :P

Then we went to the Konighstein (spell check pls!) Xmas market where we drank more Gluhwein and ate waffles. Taty made me walk near the palace ruins..it was UPHILL!!! walk uphill during WINTER!!! acck, too much exercise.

Cheers! Alex, Marcus, Taty and smoke coming from my mug.

This is downhill, coming from the palace ruins.

It was fun fun fun! Though everything was very expensive. :) I hope they'll send me back so I could meet Taty and Marcus again, and maybe this time Taty has more friends...wink wink! hahahaha.

Thanks again Taty and Marcus for a very good and fun weekend! See you again soon!

PS: Loka loka ka. :P

travelling to germany

2008-11-14T22:48:00.003+08:00

I'll be going to Germany for a week! But too bad and too sad for me, I'll be travelling alone. And it's almost winter. So can you imagine me being cold and alone. How sad!!!

And to top all of these, the whole project team will be staying at the city at this Ramada hotel, while I'll be stuck in the suburbs of Altfeld where the P&G warehouse is located, staying in a hotel that doesn't even have english translations on their website! And I'll be commuting, probably in a train, all alone, while the rest enjoy the "luxury" of cabs or rented cars. I am such an unlucky person. Why do I have to be in the plant anyway?!

But..I'm looking forward to meeting Taty! and going to the christmas markets in Frankfurt..and having German beer and dancing (i hope :))

So fine. I might get lost and be along for 1 week, but I'm still pretty excited about it! haha.

2 years and counting?!

2008-10-16T16:44:00.002+08:00

Had baboy dinner at HEAT Shangri-la last night with Raffy, Ivin, RJ, Kookie and Ricci to celebrate 2 years of slavery (hahahaha) in HP. We didn't eat lunch so we have more space for roast beef! Less ang casualty this time, wala nang halos masuka-suka sa busog. First casualty was Ricci! hehehe. and then Ivin. :P basta ang sarap. Too bad onti lang kmi this time.

Super sulet ang bayad ko sa dessert. Mango-peach-chocolate chips-rice crispies crepe plus ala-coldrock ice cream on top with almonds and walnuts and chocolate syrup drizzle equals "Lord have mercy! dessert" Yummmm.

I want more :)

pretty sad

2008-09-24T21:11:00.004+08:00

Tisha is a big fan of this guy Jeroen, so I decided to check out his cartoons. Aww they're so cute. I especially liked this one:

You wish someone would also think of you that way noh? hehe.

Once

2008-09-01T21:29:00.002+08:00

Hay pinanood ko ulet ung Once...ang SAD!!!!!! di ba jen? Hay hay hay nakakdepress. Pano nga kung nakita mo na pala ung one true love mo tapos he doesnt feel the same way. Awwwch. Or it just wasnt meant to be talga, pero deep in your hearts kayo na talaga dapat sa isa't isa. Haay and sad tlga!!!! How do you make the iron hot again ba?

But this is the best monsoon ever, with all the mud and rain and all the crazy people I'm with, super saya! I just love to play in the rain. :)

mga basang sisiw

A few pictures from my side trip to Singapore from Turkey. I haven't done any sight-seeing. Shopping lang. :) I was out on my own , and was lost most of the time. Kahit paghanap sa apartment at sa train station nawawala ako! But it was nice to be there! I want to be there na! Pia, Gino, Raffy - time for Step 2!

KFC pa din?!

solar beach

2008-07-14T18:02:00.004+08:00

The last weekend in Istanbul was spent on shopping and swimming. Weee! We went to Solar beach at Kilios, Turkey. No white sand but it was brown like sugar. And the water was freakin cold! As in Icy cold. Brrrrr. Here are some pictures from the trip. It was nice, and a perfect way to end our trip. Unless we get earlier flights, we will be leaving Turkey for good this Friday. Hoooray! :P

Subic Beach Ultimate

2008-06-10T15:26:00.003+08:00

Ang saya!!! Negra to the max. haha Ang hapdi ng katawan ko. In fairness, 4th place sa pool B. Not bad for beach ultimate virgins. hehehe. Bora na ito!

I roomed with no-sand-in-the-room people: Jen, Pia, Gino. Pero nagkasand pa din kasi si Joy lasheng at humilata sa room namin!!! hahahaha.

Pia: No sand in the room Jen and Melai ha!
Melai: Sige pero no cuddling in the room din!
Pia: Ay sige na nga pwede na onting sand..
Melai/Jen: tumbling all over.

It was a fun fun fun weekend of sand, sun, beach, alcohol and pictures! visit Jen's site for more pictures.

havaianas dwarf

2008-05-30T20:42:00.006+08:00

Do you believe in money dwarves? You know, when you're missing some money, probably placed it on your dresser, and the next thing you knew it was gone. Bsta you don't know what happened to your money na.. Then, kinuha na sila ng money dwarves!

But would you believe in havaianas dwarves?!

i worked from home last Wednesday night at Lagro (not my home btw haha). I was the last one to sleep because of my workshift. So i went inside the room, took off my slippers and turned off the lights. This was almost 1AM.

I woke up around 7am, same time as everybody else, and when i stood up to get my slippers to go out the room, it was gone!! As in gone baby gone. Nawala ng parang bula. I searched everywhere, i asked ate norma to look around the whole house, but we can't find it. not even a trace of it. Weird.

What's even weird is, 2 months ago, my cousin who lives there just bought a new pair. She went out fo a while, and when she got back, the slippers were also gone!!

Weird noh?! Ang sosyal ng dwende, kelangan havaianas ung kunin?! hay naku kakaloka tlga!!

Anyway, ang galing naman ng Jogadores!!! ung orig ha.. hahaha. Kasi umakyat na sa Pool B. Award!! Sayang I can't play sa finals. Goodluck!!

I'm going to bohol!!! tomorrow na.. weee egziting!! It's a well-deserved break. Oh please please let us have nice weather the whole weekend!

wala ko makausap so nagblog na lang ako.

2008-05-23T18:26:00.002+08:00

I haven't been back for more than 2 weeks and now I'm booking flights and making hotel resevations to Istanbul again. Haaay. Fortunately this is the last time to istanbul, not that the city is not nice. It is! But I've had too much. Parang naexperience ko na lahat ng season sa Istanbul (Autumn, Winter, Spring, tapos this time around Summer na).

I miss going out with friends! and playing frisbee! and going to PUA parties! And I'v never been to the beach since I got back! Pano nman kasi..Sana naman wag na bumagyo ulet. Let my vacation plans come to a realization!!! Puhlease.

So, I haven't been blogging as much, uber uneventful kasi ng life ko. Hay. So the last 2 weekends went fine. 3 wins out of 4 kmi sa Summer league. Sineryoso pa kami ng isang tao jan..bwahahaha. wala lang (continues with an evil grin).

Weekend 2 was injury week as Jen said. Obie get well soon! Next time kasi saluhin ang disc! este wag na mag layout! hahaha peace. Note to Jen: ALam ko ung collar bone! Nakakapagsungka nga ko dun eh. :P I bet ikaw hindi.

The last time I had tulips at home was during my bday last year. :D

2008-04-06T20:58:00.001+08:00

Grabe, antagal na walang bago sa blog ko! Kakaawa naman..Im here again at Istanbul until May pa. Kakaloka!!! Ngyon pa lang prang gusto ko na umuwi. Naiisip ko pa lang ung trabaho...haaay. At wala pa kaming pera ngayon! As in ugn AMEX ko eh cancelled. So goodluck na lng tlga sa stay ko dito.

Went to Palawan last holy week. Ang saya!!! THough alam ko hindi mashado nasulit, pro ayos pa din namn. I want to go back, pero gusto ko makita ung mga nice islands na hindi nami napuntahan. ANd hahanapin ko sa El nido ung reggae bar na sinabi ni Karlo. baka mas ok un kesa dunsa napuntahan namin na hello! walang kasing luma ng mga kanta. Prang prom night lang.

***
Start na ng SUmmer league, huhuhu I can't play! Well sabi ko lalaro ako when I get back. Pro hindi nman ako nakabayad,so pano un? Unless may nag abono sakin. Go jogadores!!! ALam nio na kung sino dapat talunin ha! :)

***

Jen, thanks for the triggerfish pictures. Pag nalulungkot ako tinitingan ko sha..pakshet ang galing eh noh, pati labi sakto?!

Shet Im ranting lang. tinatamad ako mag-isip ng masususlat na may sense so I'm just babbling my way until I press the Publish Post button. Hopefully sa stay ko dito sa Turkey hindi na ako baliw kagaya ng dati hehehe.

***
I'm going to bohol sa May! Well 3 days/2 nights lang pero ok na un. Egzited! Gusto ko naman next CDO para ma-try ung white water rafting, kahit na feel ko mamamtay ako sa nerbyos dahil goodluck kpag tumaob ung raft, di ako marunong lumangoy! well may life vest.. but still!!

Tamad na ulet ako magsulat.

I totally forgot about this!

2008-03-04T23:15:00.003+08:00

So friends!Use CLEAR shampoo na ha?! :P

home!

2008-03-03T23:19:00.002+08:00

I am home!!! Finally! After 3 weeks of stressful work, I am finally home. First thing I did was eat sisig and calamares. Yum yum yum! Tomorrow I will eat adobo! Then sinigang on the next day, then liempo, then crispy pata, then isaw! I miss Filipino food so much, especially pork. 3 weeks of zero pork is just too much!

On saturday I will play frisbee, weee!!! I miss running, i miss my forehands and overhead passes. I miss the ultimate crushies. And I missed the PUA party! Arrrgh.

Then I will have some drinks after training. I want super dry!! The turkish beer was somewhat like San mig light, but the one from Slovakia was even better (swavavistki?!? hahaha. i dont know how it's called.) And then we'll get to laugh about my pathetic stage during my first week in Istanbul. I'm not crying anymore, I swear!

As much as I'm so hyped up being at home and sleeping on my bed, I can't help but feel nostalgic cause I've made some nice friends in Istanbul and no other trip to Istanbul will be the same without them. So to team Slovakia, I will miss you guys! It was so nice working with you. But what's even nicer are the room parties, drinking sessions, dinner, and other touristy activities that we did! I don't mind all those pervert-men jokes with Danuel and Dandy, not at all. Hehehehe. Just remember, I am not a man and I don't look like a man! LOL.

On snow..It was my first time to see snow!! Walk on it, touch it, throw it! I so love it!!! I just can't understand why some people find it funny that it was our first time to see snow. Will you fuck off?! Haven't you heard of a tropical country you DJ man?! Siguro ikaw di ka pa nakakaita ng beach with ultra fine sand!

On work..let's not talk about it. :P

I will be going to Palawan on the holy week!! I'm so egzited!

homesick

2008-02-24T22:12:00.006+08:00

Been staying in Istanbul for 2 weeks now. I miss my home. I miss my family. I miss my friends! I miss pork! 1 more week and im leaving! I jsut wish things would go as planned so I wouldnt extend for another week. Omg I want to go home!

Istanbul has been a blast so far. But not work. With work, I'm all stressed out! here are some pictures. Tinatamad pa ko magblog.

Danuel and me: Feel na feel ang winter!

Marian and me @ Yerabatan

Eating steak at Baghdad street

First time sa snow!! haha

Coffee somewhere. It's so cold!

karma

2008-02-10T19:15:00.000+08:00

So now karma is working on me. I was surprised. But what caught me offguard was that it hurts somehow. I knew I asked for this, but I didnt know how it feels until it's there already.

I will not go against you. I am happy for you. And I will be happy for you as long as you are happy. More than anything else, you will always be a best friend to me. No matter what happens.

So I'm letting go. I'm letting you go. because you deserve to be happy, and because i loved you and always will.

Goodluck pangs. I know you'll be happy someday. :)

arrrgh

2007-11-26T21:19:00.000+08:00

2007-10-06T16:59:00.000+08:00

from twitter: im supposed to be on vacation right now. but im working!!! lesson learned: turn off your cellphone when your on leave. or just drink hard and be dead.

hay naku so much for the planned girls' weekend getaway. Initial plant was to go to galera last Friday but due to bad weather somewhere sa batangas na lang. But again, dahil lalong sumama ang panahon naisip na lang na amgtagaytay. Inom/toogstoogs muna sa gabi then drive tp tagaytay in the morning. When di, risha, ivin, pong and eva arrived at metrowalk, waah nagkaissue ang kabaddi! And while they are drinking free booze, I am working at starbucks until 330am. kamusta naman sa social life melai.

Drive to tagaytay didnt push through kasi i need to go to work in the morning. We should have gone to tagaytay by lunch pero until now (time check: 5:00pm) im still at work and my girlfriends are patiently waiting for me somewhere in ortigas. Waaaah. i wanna go home.

No i still want the weekend getaway. Please lang!!!!!

buto ng sampalok queen

2007-08-28T16:50:00.000+08:00

Yes that's me. I am the buto ng sampalok queen! hahahaha.
1. I spit the farthest
2. I pitik the farthest
3. And (this is the most important category), niluwa ko ang buto ng sampalok in the most seductive way..

May lalaban pa ba jan? Hahahaha.
*****

Sunday, after the 9ish training at track oval, Rose, TIsha, Joy, Jen and me went to Sunken to watch frisbee stalkees. Nagpakabusog sa chicken balls, kwek2 at sampalok. At dahil bored, wala na kaming ibang magawa kung hindi magcontest using buto ng sampalok. It was a tough battle. ROse, tish and me - nagcontest gamit ang buto ng sampalok. Si jen spectator lang, walang kwenta, tawa lang ng tawa! hahaha.

Im banking on my friends to support me sa aking goal this year: to expand my network. Yep, kelangan ko makakilala ng madaming tao. Ika nga, more entries means more chances of winning! Win saan? Amf, tinatanong pa ba un?!

So sabi ko mountain climbing, hmpf ayaw ng mga maaarte kong kaibigan! hahahahaha. To think nung nagtanong ako kung maarte ako ang sabi niyo eh "OO!". Hmpf.

Sabi ni jen yoga daw..parang puro babae naman ang andun. Saka wala na ata kong pag-asa makakilala sa gym kasi puro bading dun. Hahaha. Unless tumambay ako sa Free Weights area, eh haller ano naman gagawin ko dun, magbuhat ng 3lbs na dumbels samantalang sila eh 50 lbs?!

Sabi ni jen sasamahan daw niya ako with my expand-the-network activities, basta samahan ko daw sha sa arcade..Sino ba gusto mo kilalanin? mga bata andun! Si sam concepcion pa din ba? Haaay.

So ayun, hanap pa din ng activities to expand network. Basta friends, sasamahan nio ako ha? :D

PS: Jen wala talaga akong natangap na text okay?! :D

beers paradise

2007-08-25T23:36:00.000+08:00

After the coffee talk, Raffy, Ivin, Andi, Rommel and Chechz (haha di ko alam spelling) went to beers paradise in polaris street, makati. I had Chimay Bleu, 9% alcohol dark beer, made by monks from Belgium or so the waitress said. I think i had the best beer. haha sarap :D Bush was like a hard drink, purong alcohol, 12%! Haha. My drink cost me 273 pesos! Pero ok lang. At least I had a sip of 5 diff beers din hehe.

Could have joined them sa temple bar after pero umuwi na lang ako coz hindi ako prepared for a toogz-toogz night. Next time na lng :D And ill try another beer na din kapag may pera. I can't believe ang lapit lang nung place sa dating office ko! But nalaman ko lang sha from EJ and Bok, sayang, eh di sana tambay ako dun dati pa. Hahahaha, asa, may pera ka? :D

Sabi ni RJ, si John Lloyd! and we all agreed na pwede nga.

2007-08-08T10:54:00.000+08:00

Stuck in traffic on my way home, without an ipod (nawala ipod ko!!!!! wahhhh.), without a book to read (coz its dark demmit), and without noone to talk to, nang-trip lang ako ng mga tao and asked them the question: Pano mo nalalaman kung nae-empacho ka na?

Ishi-share ko lang mga reply nila. I'm sure you would find some quite amusing. Baka ma-empacho ka kakatawa. Ahihihi.

Carla: Hahaha. parang in luv lng yan... (parang hindi nman?!)

Felise: Haha anong klaseng tanong yan?! Siguro pag yung sobrang puno at laki na ng tyan mo, na d ka na makainhale kasi wala na sha ilalaki! Hahaha =)

Dympna: Anu b nman un...ewan...haha. Pag super bgat ng chan..

Raffy: Joke ba to?...Kapag konti lang nakain mo pero feeling mo ang dami na. Hindi masarapa na busog, kundi masakit na busog. Pakiramdam busog pero in fact alam mo na d ka talaga busog. Maempacho ka kay trigger boi.... (gagu ka!)

Rj: Is this a trick question?:)...... (hay naku hindi)

Jef: Empacho? ewan. Kpg malakas kng kumain...

Ange: Tunog tmbol ang tyan mo, at nasusuka ka... (tambol?! anak ng..)

Jencarps: Ang funny nman. Di ko alam kc di ko pa nman naexperience yan. Ata. Hindi ba parang kabag pero instead of hangin, may laman sha?... (asa kang hindi mo pa naexperience yan!!! hoy hoy hoy)

Dinky: Kung di ka na makahinga sa busog hehe. Tsaka di na bumababa ung food mo as in no fart n stuff anymore. :)... (fart and stuff ha? coming from a future doctor! hehe)

Mac: sobrang busog na pakiramdam

Patrick: kung masakit tiyan parang puro hangin laman parang bloated feeling? hehe

Joanna: pag sobrang busog na busog na :) feeling ata :)

Carlyn: skit tummy.. hehehe... tapos parang gusto mo mag vomit

Ivin: Empacho? Wala, maiisip mo na lng bigla na.."Naeempacho na pala ako.."...(ayun o, favorite answer ko! it's so ivin.. hehe. )

Pero di ba? hindi mo tlga mapaliwanag kung kelan ka nagkakaempacho..maiisip mo na nga lang na may empacho ka na pala...para ba tong love gaya ng sabi ni ate carla?! hahaha whatever!!!! kung ganun, baka gusto na nating lahat maempacho...Ahihihi.

Masyado nman sineryoso ng iba ung tanong ko. Pero nakakatawa haha. Ang saya mang-trip noh? Haha.

Nadiscover namin na hindi sha mahilig maligo. Di ba Ivin? :D Fashion is my passion, yan ang motto nia ngayon. Very metro, goodluck, sana hindi ka na bitter days.

Ivin:

Small talk king. Small talaga. Hahahaha. Bagay talaga sa kanya ang Pirate costume. Super daldal, parang bading, talo pa bading! Pero super nakaktawa nman, in fairness hehe. Bitter days din, like me and Raffy. Crap.

Ivin and Raffy - bangag na

The Pocari Sweat Ultimate League has ended, so sad I missed the party, but ok lang din. :) I heard Derek is injured? Kamusta nman kasi sa high-jump kung high-jump eh noh. The league was ok, I can say nag-improve nman ang team. But buraot-ness was all over the place and sometimes it can get into your nerves and all you can think about is playing while having fun. Ganun lang. Kaya FUN team na ito!!!!! Go na?

Fun Ultimate Niggahs hahahaha. Kewl.

warning: more random drama thoughts from the PAST

2007-07-03T11:03:00.000+08:00

now your turning cold on me. i am beginning to hate you. maybe i hate you. but i don't think i can. because it seems i wanted to continue this foolishness. ive mentioned i never was fond of waiting. but i think this is what im doing now. waiting and hoping for something that is 90% impossible. is this your way of getting back at me?

****
i didn't know it would be that hard for him. i wasn't ready for another session of crying and heartaches. i am miserable not because i still love him enough to get back together but because he is hurting and i am the only source of that pain. i do not know when this will end. i am getting tired, exhausted, but i cannot force myself to inflict more pain. yes it was also my decision to stay close, but i did that because i thought it would be easy for him. i didn't know it would be that hard.. to forget, to wait. i am hating myself for not knowing how to put an end to this. i don't want to reach the point when all that i'm feeling is pity. i hate myself for not being strong enough. i hope this will end..soon. it really is hard to know that you're causing pain and you cannot do anything to stop it. but i am hoping he can help himself..hoping big time.

****
Masama ba ko? I know from the start that I was being selfish. But I didn't know it would be that hard for him to let go. I know what I keep on doing is unhealthy, unfair, and totally unjustifiable. But right now, I just don't know what to do. I don't know where to start, how to put an end to little things that make our set up complicated than it really is. Kala ko tlga madali lng for him..i was wrong.. now i turned everything into a bigger mess. and i don't know how to start fixing things.

warning: random drama thoughts for the last month.

2007-06-15T10:16:00.000+08:00

I used to think that when you often talk about things that you wish would happen, they just might never happen at all. And I was right. I was in for a surprise when I found out that I cannot have this thing that I want. I was devastated when I learned that things will never be what I wished for them to be. It saddens me after all the progress that I thought had happened. But apparently, I was in for a shock. Don't you dare call it a phase. Things like these don't come in phases. They happen because you wanted for them to happen. You paved the road, you took the initiative. Look where it has brought me. I was really hoping. Poof. Did not happen. Perhaps it will never happen. Maybe I shouldnt just talk about it..
****

I am beginning to hate you. I am teaching myself to hate you. You were a factor on what is nonexistent anymore. You triggered everything. And then you left me hanging. You made me think there was something to hold on to. With how you look at me, what you say to me, how you are towards me. It really got my hopes ecstatic. I was high for a while. Enjoying what was given to me on a silver platter. Only to find myself falling hard on the ground. With no one to break the fall.
***

I know it was assuming for me to think that. Looking back, there really wasn't anything to hold on to. I assumed, I gave meaning to little things that should have been ignored. I was naive after all, blinded by what I see myself to be.

Kamusta naman sa pagpapapayat?! Melai kung ayaw mong mahiritan, pumayat ka na! Kung hindi forever ka na lang mapipikon. Haha! Si Jen kaya payat na? :P

Napatunayan ko na na basta may camera at "theme" matutuwa na kami nila Diana and Chimene. Parang lasing, Daig pa ang lasing! Diana, pano mag-pose kapag natatae na?! Kamusta naman sa gaya-gaya ka ng pose?! Boo. Chimene, animalistic, hindi pa-cute ha! :P

puerto galera 2007

2007-05-02T16:16:00.000+08:00

Kamusta naman at sinisipon ako ngayon ng sobra sobra at breathing through the mouth ang drama ng lola mo eh kaakgaling ko lang ng beach nung weekend?!

At bakit ang sakit sakit ng buo kong katawan, specifically ung mga stress points eh kakapamasahe ko lang din nung weekend?! As in hirap akong humiga, straight flat sa kama
kasi ultimong tail bone ko ata eh super sakit. Siguro galit si manang masahista sakin huhu.

***

Went to Galera with Jen, Julie, Rose, Pol, Raffy, and Girlie last Apr 27-29! Pictures here: di ko pinost lahat ng basag pictures hehehe mahirap na.

Left Manila at around 1:30PM, super late na kami for the bus ride! So nagpahatid kami sa driver ni Rose sa Batangas Pier. Was there around 2:45 tapos we boarded the boat. Asus! almost an hour kami naghintay na mapuno! Kamusta naman na 4PM na kami nakaalis ng pier! Add to the horror, super alon! As in sea sickness to the maximum level. Nung nakikita na namin ang shore ng white beach, biglang may humampas sa boat. Malaks na alon? Shark? Bangkay? Ewan! basta nakita na lng namin na putol na ung isang balancing arm nung boat (i dunno what it's called) kung san kami nakaupo!!! Que horror!!!! To add insult to the injury, pinalipat pa ko sa kabilang side..para mabawasan ang weight? Kamusta naman un?!!!! So after 1 hour of floating sa gitna ng dagat (imagine mo na lng ang sobrang pagpipigil ng suka), umusad na ung bangka, and we arrived at white beach at past 6PM. Grabe, daig pa ang feeling ng may uber hangover after that horrifying boat ride!

We had dinner at Basilico's. Si Jen ang nakatimpla ng pinakamasarap na calamansi juice, yummy. After that, ligo and then off to the night life!!! Weee!

Met up with Gino and PIa for a night of drinking and dancing with the rest of the APO-DRP team. Fun fun fun!!!! It has been a while since I last danced to R&B music na sabog. Haha, sabog being the operative word. Kakamiss magsayaw!!! Most of the pics were taken during this uber fun sabog night. Word for the night according to raffy: Boom!!!! No comment for Pia and Gino dahil bibinggo na ako sa kanila!

We had more than 10 pitchers of Mindoro sling. Kamusta naman sa laks ng tama!!!! In a span of 2 hours, we were all wasted. W-A-S-T-E-D. Ang daming text na napadala kung kani-kanino. Hahaha. Nakakahiya!!!! At madami ding sayawan na nangyari. At madami ding sukahang naganap. Hahaha. What is lying on the sand? Kamusta naman melai, bat wala kang maalala? Hahaha. Thanks to Gino Raffy Pia Pol Chami for taking care of rose and me during our sabog moments. Kudos! Teeheee. Will not let this happen in a while. Pinky swear anyone?

The next morning (Saturday), hangover galore ang lola mo. Eh pag ako nagkapahang-over, buong araw nagsusuka. Buti I was still able to wake up at around 930AM for a hotdog bfast. Tapos nakapaglaro pa ako ng beach ultimate, haha ang hirap! Tapos had a swim sandali. But I had to stop na kasi nalula na ako, and nagkaeffect na ung hangover. Bawat alon, tumbling all over ang feeling ko. Had lunch at the pizzeria, yummy pizza but hindi ko mshado naenjoy kasi I had to visit the CR and call the crows (U- wak!). Nawala lang lahat ng kinain ko. Huhuhuhu.

Then nag-attempt ako matulog ng tanghali, pero we decided na magpamasahe kay Manang Maria na dinurog ata ang mga buto ko dahil hangang ngayon eh masakit ung buong likod ko! After masahe, natulog na lang ako sa room habang nagbabato-bato sina Jen sa beach. Naiwan kami ni Rose sa room. Nagtatae ata sha, haha. Woke up for dinner, then nag-shop kami ni Jen, Nakita namin si Vandolph. Hehe. Tapos went home at around 12AM na for Pusoy Showdown.

Kamusta naman at ako lang ang natalo sa Pusoy?!!! Lord, unlucky in love, unlucky in cards pa? Jen:"Di bale LAKI in size ka naman!" Potek yan o! So in short, pinerahan lang ako nila Jen Julie and Pol. Crap.

Gusto ko sanang magsayaw ulet at magpakabasag that night but iniisip ko pa lang ang amoy ng alcohol, nasususka na ko so I decided to stay sa room na lang.Si Raffy bad trip kasi wala daw umiinom that night!! Hahaha. Bakit kaya gusto mo lasingin ang mga tao huh? At balita ko naghanap ka pa ng R&B Music? Boom!!! Nga pala, niyaya kami nung "friend" mo na naka-bikini na uminom..Remeber her? I mean him? Hahaha.

Sunday morning, pinilit namin mag-swim nila Jen and Julie para naman may beach shots kami kahit papano. kamusta naman na kasama namin mag-swim sina lola and the kids!!!
Sayang kasi walang araw! WHen we were having bfast, saka lang nagka-araw. Booo.

Boat ride home was like before, nakakahilo! Kahit nababasa na ako ng alon, hindi ko mapunasan ang sarili ko kasi pag gumalaw ako eh siguradong magsusuka ako. Feeling ko tuloy pumayat na ko dahil puro na lang suka ang inatupag ko. Hahaha.

Friends, next time, sa mas malapit na tau tumira. Hindi ung kelangan pang mag-hike para makauwi. :P Saka promise sa fastcraft na tlaga tau. And promise, more beach shots!!!

little things

2007-04-25T11:54:00.000+08:00

Sabi nila when two naive people get together, that relationship might last. Kasi they are too naive to analyze little things that happen in their relationship. They focus on the bigger aspects. They do not over analyze that's why they stay together for god knows how long.

Maybe that's my problem. I am not dumb, nor naive, most of all not stupid (hindi naman sa pagmamayabang noh hehe), that's why I tend to over analyze to the point of getting overboard. I look closely at those little things that I forget to look at the bigger picture. Maybe I put meaning on these little things, too much. Maybe I just put too much attention. That' s why I sometimes misinterpret things. But honestly, sometimes I find joy in putting meaning to little things that happen around me. Somehow it helps me get through the day.

But some friend put my feet back on the ground and told me blatantly: "Feeling mo naman Melai, walang meaning un!" So much for being a friend huh? Pakshet ka tlga Gino. Hehehehe.

alcoholic

2007-04-25T10:06:00.000+08:00

I really don't know why, pero lately super ganado ako uminom, almost to the point of craving. Kahit mga 1-2 rounds (or 1-2am hahaha) of alcohol lang. Shhheeeet. SIgns of being alcoholic? Nooooo. Nurrrrr. Haha. Ayoko matulad kay Mond na alcoholic dati! Gusto ko lang maging buzzed!

Speakin of MOnd..Sana naman nakikilala mo pala kami ha Mond. Kamusta naman sa naging "In a relationship" ka na sa Friendster?! Sana nagpaparamdam noh. Hmpf, ganyan ka na mond.

Weee!!!! We're going to galera this weekend! bawal magbackout, nagpinky swear ka Rose! Me, Jen, Julie!, Rose, Raffy, RG?, Joy?, Pol, Girlie. Then we'll probably meet up with Ghihino and Piafat (oo andun din sila haha: Melai scores!).

March 5, 2007 - Melbourne server upgrade Go live.

At 2:30 AM, my first project was implemented in the production system of the Australia Warehouse. Successful!!!!! No issues and for 2 weeks, we have 100% file transmission success rate. Haha geek.

I'm just so happy that everything turned out well. Really thankful I was able to pull this through. And did I say really happy? :D

PS: I also got my first e-awards for this - convertible to cash!!! wohoooo! Pagudpod here I come!

Sad

2007-03-07T17:44:00.000+08:00

It was a sad start. I woke up early today because of my mom's ringing celfone. I heard her utter a cry of shock. Then my sister was mouthing something--"Patay na si Inana..."

It was a sad day for the whole family. But we are strong. I can see my mom restraining herself from crying. I can see how she's hurting but I can also see how she doesn't want us to see her so devastated. I guess she was trying to be strong for all of us.

I feel sad and very sorry. It has been 2 years or more since the last time I saw Inana. She was weak then, because she suffered from a stroke. But her mind is still very sound, very sharp. I didn't know that would be the last time I'll see her. I feel really guilty for not being being her more often, for not visiting. I was actually looking forward to a visit sometime late in March, but I was too late. I miss her.. My lola is a beautiful lady. I still remember her smile. How she smells me when she hugs me. Her sagging arms.. I miss her. And I feel really bad for not spending more time with her.

I love you Inana. I know you're at peace now. Thank you for giving me my mom.

babbling my time away

2007-02-08T14:10:00.000+08:00

My tita arrived last night from the States, she bought me a pair of nike rubber shoes--for kids!!! But I got it anyway, they fit me just right. She said she'll just give me some bucks so I can get the shoes that I want. Weeee!!!! Sino ba naman ako para tumanggi di ba?
***

Raffy has been a gym addict ever since he got in the Gold's Gym Fitness Program. As in everyday is a gym day! Talk about wanting to get buffed. When will I get the same attitude (ati-tood)? Haha.

Pia and I decided to join the Aero Taekwondo class. Career na 'to! I tried out the Smooved (Hip hop) class. Fun fun! But I don't think I'm cut out for those moves. Si percy kasi ayaw ako turuan eh, nung mga "wassup wassup and laba-laba moves". But it was fun, I might try it again, hehe. Nagfi-feeling lang na dancer. After the two classes and I ended up with muscle pains in my thighs and legs. Can't do the elliptical the next day, boohoo.

Speaking of the gym, naalala ko lang kung pano magaling si Raffy kasi nakapasok sha sa program. But it was due to my "fast clicking skills" kaya sha nakapasok actually. Hehe I have this friend, itago na lang natin sha sa pangalang Ivin, eh mejo aanga-anga kaya ndi nakapasok. I think he emailed the reg form to the wrong person (aka Mandic tamayo?!) Hahaha joke lang. Happy ka naman di ba? Wag ka lang defensive, mashado kang obvious. :D
***

When I get bored at the office, I have this habit of checking the status of each person in my YM and ST account. FUnny how the status message of other people can make you laugh.

Gillette® - The Best a Man Can Get™ --> Jeff Mendoza, working on a Gillette project
My arms hurt --> Raffy, for being a gym addict
Huuuuuuuuuh?! --> Ivin, for being clueless. what is space?!
The one with the "EAT" guy --> Ivin ulet, crzy alcoholic friends can figure this out! haha
One day we'll look back on this, as a hiccup in our happiness... but i do still miss you.--> Raffy, senti mode
Need love? text RJgameako! and send to 09178438571 --> RJ, tigang na tigang
My heart hurts--> RJ, senti mode just like Raffy
Inagaw ko lang ang status message ko. -->RJ, winner 'to! Hahaha
To Assume is to make an ass out of you and me --> Pia, dahil first time lang niya narinig ang quote na ito. What is loser?
To ASSume is to put Pia before you and me --> Melai, inaasar lang si Pia. Hahaha Di ba swak na swak?!

Eto last na:
Guess who's back?! --> Ivin (ROFL)

***

The Jogadores are going to be extinct?! What?! If the attitude (ati-tood) of the members continue, the whole group might just not continue to exist anymore. Sana concerned tayong lahat sa mga possibleng mangyari. If one ancestor (aka Yug) leaves, we all know it's going to be hard for us to get together and train. Onti lang ang may initiative like Yug. Thankfully Pol is stepping up to the responsibility, I know he'll kick our ass if we continue to be passive kaya go go go Pol! Fellow Jogas (Huh? Left and right?! Hahahaha), I know all of us are busy with other responsibilities. Hindi ako naghuhugas kamay, may mali din ako, but if we really want to continue with this thing, we have to step up and put in more effort to make this work. We all want to play, most of us want to excel in the game, all of us want to have fun- but we can't do this if we do not exert effort. In case hindi niyo na naaalala, sabi ni Pol, sinimulan natin tong grupo na 'to because we wanted something to bind us after college, something that would serve as a venue for us friends to still meet up, get together and have fun. I hope we continue playing, with that in mind. If all fails, anjan ang chickenboi, dun na lang tayo magkita-kita. Hahahaha.

Niiiiiiiiice Joga!

I already booked a flight to Boracay for June. Sana lang talaga libreng accommodations. Sana lang. Or else, I just might go for a refund. :( Ayaw ko naman maging epal or something kasi noh. Cross fingers.

SP Tourney

2007-01-18T16:45:00.000+08:00

First day of the SP Tourney and already we are putting up a good fight!----Not! Hehe.

vs. SP04:
Kala naman namin mga baguhan itong mga taga team na 'to. Come game time aba nakita namin ang mga dating SP01! Sila ba makakalaban namin? SIla nga! Tumbling all over kasi, kahit 5 lang sila nagstart, nakaka-score pa din sila. In fairness, hindi naman kami tambak. Magaling lang tlga sila.

vs. TODA:
Nagulat ako, si Tish pala TODA member na! Kagaya ng mga nangayayari most games, maganda laro nung una, tapos bumibigay nung huli. Super pagod na ata ng mga tao at lahat halos walang lungs kayo ayun, kapoy!

vs. Devils:
Busog!!!! Si pia ang bagal kumilos hindi tuloy nakamayan si Papa D. At nakakaasar kasi si RG na-injure meaning tinalian ni D ung shoelaces niya tapos tinatanong sha kung ok lang sha and all that---EH PLANO KO KAYANG MA-INJURE PARA TUTULUNGAN NIYA KO!!!!!! Pakshet ka inunahan mo ko sa plano ko! Bading ka ba? Hahahahahahaha. Nakalimutan ko atang sabihin, na-point cap kami dito hehehe. (What's new.)

So ayun, napakahirap talagang maglaro kapag walang training, hindi kundisyon ang baga at katawan, at onti lang kayong pang-sub. Oh well. May next Sunday pa. Bawi naman tayo jan!!!!

May mga highlights of the day pala:
1. Si pia nagtumbling! Oo nagtumbling sha kasi sinagasaan sha ni RG. May big ugly pasa sha ngayon.
2. Si Jen lumuluhod na! Taty, si Jen na ata ang bagong luhod queen ngayon. Sabi ni mond nagbounce ka daw. Hehe.
3. Si Inay-apoy teamate na ni Joba.
4. Si Inay-ang-baho teamate na ni Jamel.
5. Ang pamilya ni Yug nagpa-picture with Papa D (Inggit ako!!!). Kaya itong si yug hindi kagad makapunta sa grandstand. Nahihiya ka b? ANo ka ba, dpat pinalabas na lang natin na nagpapaicture din sila sa taga-Chicosci...Astiiiiig. :D

inuman at Tagaytay

2007-01-18T14:10:00.000+08:00

I don't know if this is going to be a weekly thing, but last Friday, me, Pia, Ghihino, Raffy, RJ, Ivin and taMond had drinks at Marina. Finally the Crazy 3 met crazy Mond. Fun fun night. We only had 3 or 4 buckets, nagsawa sa mamantikang Crispy Kangkong, then we went to RUfo's for a late dinner. Ivin and RJ already left fro Eastwood. Initially, the plan was Gino and Raffy will go to Mugen since andun sila Ven and KatPu, and MOnd me and Pia will hang out sa Eastwood or something--basta gigimik din kain on our own. But nug nsa parking na kami, nagyaya bigla si Mond sa Tagaytay!

Peer pressure, si gino and raffy napasama na din. Very impulsive of Mond! Nagyaya sa Tagaytay but tinulugan kami on the way!

It was very cold in Tagaytay! Hindi kinaya ng dala kong "bimpo" aka shawl ung lamig. WE stayed at Cafe Lupe, since dun lang pwede uminom I think, and had some rounds of coktails. Ang saya, si Mond nasa kanayang "Toogs-tooogs-tooogs-Tu-tu-toogs-tooogs-toogs" mode. Rave party ito! Masaya na sana, kung hindi lang tumugtog ung band. Si Mond kamukaha nugn gitarista. Ung lalakeng vocalist kamukha ng isa naming orgmate. Ung babaeng vocalist boses lalaki!!! Ganito sha kumanta: Buksan ang bibig at i-form ang letter O, as in capital O. Tapos kumanta ka ng Don't You Wish Your Girlfriends was Hot like Me..Don't cha ..na ganyan ang ayos ng bibig. Ganun sha kumanta!!!!

Anyway, we went home at around 330AM. Ang bilis mag-drive ni Pia! SI mond sa sobrang takot, natulog ulet! Si Raffy, natulog lang talaga.

PS: Si Ivin, tampururot kasi hindi nakasama. Hahahaha. Ikaw kasi aalis-alis ka eh!

moving on..

2007-01-15T13:40:00.000+08:00

It was a difficult struggle. I didn't know I'm capable of having such emotions and of hurting someone so badly. But, as cliche-ish as it may sound, we have to move on. I was very much surprised of the outcome..I'm glad we were both mature enough to stay as friends. Mature enough to face what's there and to accept all that has happened (and will happen) between us. I do hope that we really understand and accept what has happened between us. As I've said, I'm not closing my doors to the possibilities of god knows what. And as you've said, keep an open mind and learn from our mistakes. Ergo, move on..

I talked to a friend and she shared this saying to me:

They decide to stay as friends because one: they really didn't truly and sincerely loved each other so they can manage to stay as friends or two: they really and sincerely love each other, too much to let go---at least they have the frienship to bind them together somehow.

I know for sure we stayed friends because of number two. And I'm hoping the friendship will last. For now, I'm happy because both of us are trying. Thanks for being such a best friend.

hard

2007-01-07T11:29:00.000+08:00

How come this is hard for me? I didnt know it would be this painful. i don't have to explain to anybody. But I want to tell you that I have no regrets of the things that have happened between us..Those were the most wonderful years of my life..And no one is to blame but me. I know it would be hard for both of us, but I know we can get through this in time..You're a strong person and I know you can deal with this better than I do.. At least now you're done away with some piece of moldy old hag..

lucky

2007-01-04T09:53:00.000+08:00

9:30 AM: This should be a lucky day. It should be!!!!

I received an email telling me that I got in at HP's Fitness Program at Gold's GYm. Never mind the term Fitness Program. I have free gym access at Gold's gym!!!!!! Woooohoooooo!!!!!

PS: Is this God's way of telling me subtly that I really need to lose weight? Haha, who cares.

i don't love you...

2007-01-03T19:37:00.000+08:00

I love this poem. This has been an all time favorite. I know, it's kinda cheesy, so not my type, but I just fell in love with it a few years back. I also like another poem but can't find my copy of it, it's Ode to a Secret Love. :D

I do not love you... by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

that this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

hate

2007-01-03T19:35:00.000+08:00

i hate waiting. All aspects connected with it.
Waiting for anything, for anyone, for whatsoever. It
pisses me off. But why do i keep waiting? WHy do I
keep myself waiting for something that may not even
come to me. For something that might not even happen
to me.

I hate expecting for something that has a big
probability of not happening. I hate it when I get
my hopes high for nothing. But why do I expect when
I know it'll hurt? Why do I keep waiting if I know
it's not bound to happen?

Confusion. Is this an induced feeling? Do I get
confused because I give myself reasons to get
confused. Or is it natural? Does it come to me when
I really feel confused? Nonsense.

I hate it when I think too much..of things I really
don't know the answers to.
I hate psychoanalyzing. I have friends who are good
with it. But not me. Not even when I badly needed it
for myself.

fun weekend

2006-12-04T09:21:00.000+08:00

It was a long weekend, and i told myself that i'll make the most out of this since the following week would be a very busy week for me (what with the testing, trainings and all). So last friday Percy and I watched casino royal. I'm not much of a Bond fan. I slept throught the last bond movie that I watched (the one with the invisible car). But I found this one ok. I didnt sleep one bit, so I guess it was fine.

Saturday was another movie day with percy and pipo. We watched Borat. Hahahahahaha! Super hilarious movie. Oh Kazakhstan, you're number one! The greatest country....Super funny tlga. I bet Mond would love this movie. I've been watching this for four hours now and it hasn't changed one bit (pertaining to the hotel channel which shows the bfast special and all the crap). Funny mond panoorin mo 'to. Nakakaasar lang kasi ako saka ung kapatid ko na mas bata pa kay percy eh hindi tinanong ng guard kng ilang taon tapos si percy sinita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shet tlga.

Sunday should've been lagro day but certain people (hint: kamukha daw nia si sarah geronimo) was so lazy to pick me up. Ok lang love pa din kita :D

It's MOnday!!!! Testing week. Oh God help me :)

afternoon dizziness syndrome

2006-11-17T15:04:00.000+08:00

It's been a week already since I started feeling this thing. It usually occurs around 2pm, right after my Starbucks break. Is this because of too much cono caffeine or what raffy tags as 'I-wanna-go-home-itis' syndrome? I dont wanna think its because of starbucks because how am i to get that freaking Php2000++ worth of planner if I keep getting dizzy everytime I drink frap? I-wanna-go-home-itis is out not becasue I don't wanna go home but because I actually enjoy surfing the internet, haha geek.

So maybe, I need to have my eyes fixed. Maybe that's what keeping me dizzy every afternoon. haha.

Oh, I'm still cursed. and fat.

all i want for christmas..

2006-11-16T14:40:00.000+08:00

..is my two front teeth.

Well not really, but I want a trip to the dentist so she can treat my 2 front teeth and repair the crack and take the coffee stains away.

And I'm wishing that my project is gonna go well (cross fingers!) so I need not work on Christmas day and even during the company shutdown--meaning sana may Christmas vacation ako! Oh please, that would be the nicest gift I can get this season...

and well maybe a new pair of kleats..
or 3-month supply of xenical or whatever fat burner there is..
or maybe derek calling me for a date (haha joke lang beh!)..

Oh please please, I hope the Australians are not workaholics.

******
Spirits here we come!!!! 7 lovely ladies, 5 of which have no lungs (namely me, Pia, Jen, Rose, Julie--magreact kayo kung may lungs kayo ha! :D) will battle their way to the finals...Wahahahaha dream on. Goodluck sa atin girlies (5 no lungs + Lyanne+GB), kaya natin 'to! Goodluck sa Jogadores. Get that pooooiiiiiint! (Aussie accent)

Guys san tayo magstay? Gusto nio mag-try ng motel? hahahahaha.

Cursed

2006-11-13T16:17:00.000+08:00

I am a cursed human being.

It's already 1 month since my first day in my new job and until now I still don't have my P&G account!!!!! Would you believe nalagpasan na niya ang Level III support at ngayon ang ticket ko ay nasa Global level na. As in!!!! Dahil wala akong P&G account, hindi ako maka request ng license for my MS Office applications so guess what?! Nung Friday, nawala ung MS Office ko!!! So ngayon hindi ako makagamit ng word, outlook at excel. So goodbye work and hello pretending to be busy again. Kahit na start na ng project ko, I'm still pretending to be productive kahit kating-kati na ko manood ng House and Bleach dvds.

So ngayon, my laptop is useful only for checking my yahoo mail, friendster, multiply, updating my blog, and watching dvds. Kaya friends you would really make me happy if mag-update kayo lage ng blogs...hehehehe.

PS: Last week nagaudio conference meeting ako with my project mates consisting of 3 Filipinos, 3 Australians and 1 indian (ata). Shet!!!! Hindi exag kapag sinabi ko na wala talaga akong naintindihan sa mga pinagsasabi nila. Walang clear words na lumalabas sa bibig nila!!! "Yo mate!!! have a gawd dinah" Ano daw!!! Kala ko mate sinasabi nila yun pala tinatawag na nila yung melai na name ko. Pakshet tlga!

See? I'm cursed. and fat. haha.

2006-11-01T20:41:00.000+08:00

OMG! I have been an idle blogger for 2 months already! My last update was Aug 14, 2006. Shameful. But now I'm "Alive! ALive! Alive forever more."

Oh well, actually wala lang tlga ko masabi or mejo tinatamad ako kaya ndi ako maka-blog. I actually enjoy it more when I read blogs. Haha but for the lack of anything to do right now, might as well put in something.

Grounded pala ko ngayon..mejo. Pano I was supposed to go home last Saturday (galing sa "despidida" ni Taty kina Tisha) but Nakauwi ako ng mmga 4pm na..Kasi sobrang hindi ako makakilos dahil sa hangover. Shet pramis umiikot tlga ung buong mundo ko nun. Ilang "uwak" na ung tinawag ko wala pa ding epekto. Ano na tlga sa hangover?! Si gino kasi ang bilis at ang taas mag-tagay. tskt tsk. Actually kaya din ako nalate eh dahil sa lecheng pelikula na Open Water. Kelangan lang namin tapusin kasi kahit na super nakaka-bother sha panoorin, kelangn mo tlgang malaman kng ano nangyari dun sa mga bida. (I'm babbling....)

BTW, i have a new job na pla. hehe. Fun fun. Ok naman so far. :D

Miss ko na mga Joga pips. Magtrain ako next practice promise.

Gas girl and what not

2006-08-14T21:31:00.000+08:00

It's amazing that amidst all the stupid things that have been bugging me lately, I still manage to have fun and act as if everything's a-ok. Oi drama wag ka na nga!

******
I forgot that I should be putting an entry re my birthday party with high school friends but it's kinda out-of-date already so I'll just give shoutouts to all my high school friends. Thanks for giving me a great (na-surprise ba ko?!) party! Haha Seriously though I was thinking I was just a rider celebrant haha what ever that means. But thankies to everyone. Mwah mwah to Apple (yummy nung niluto mo!), Diana (who I'm sure texted everyone), Chimene (na kinukulit ako mag-dinner :D), May (na hindi ko daw binati nung bday nia..excuse me ha! :D), Felise (and Daniel..for the yummy cake :D), Risha (for lending me your funky earrings! which btw are still with me), Dinky (na-miss kita!), Criscelli (aba nabuhay ka!), Bok (aka King Arthur hearthrob daw ng engg), EJ (for the wala atang effect na gin-gatorade-sprite concoctionpero masarap :D), Atom (wala ba akong greeting sa Bfast?), Bryan (na fan pala ng blog ko :D), Dijan (na super na-miss ko kaya asar talo siya sakin the whole night)..Thank you, I was touched talaga. Gusto mo non?! Hahaha.

*****
I survived my two days of being a gasoline girl. Amf, 8 hours nakatayo for 2 days?! Ano na sa na-pseudo-sprain ang paa ko?! Chumminess na ako with the gas boys sa petron dasma and bel-aire. Tiring pero masaya..Kahit na nakalimutan kong i-release un trigger ng nozzle habang nagpap-practice mag load ng gas kaya ayun, nung may dumating na customer, ayun! tumalsik ung gasolina! Buti na lang talaga sa sahig natapos at hindi sa mukha nung customer kasi pag nagkataon hello bum world na naman ako! At least hindi ko naman kinalimutan ibalik ung sarahan ng fuel tank ng kotse noh, di ba Pol? Lol.

Natuwa ako super kasi dinalaw ako nila Pia, Taty and Mond na kahit pinagtatawanan nio ko dahil wala akong kwenta mag linis ng windshield OK lang kasi pinuntahan nio pa ko. Touched :D Pia kng ndi ka nagpunta sa Petron eh di sana flat tire na si UUL noh. haha.

Good morning sir! Fulltank po tayo? Confirm lang po XCS 500, zero start. OK na po? Windshield po? Tubig Langis? Yan ang dialogue ko. CUte noh? Favorite ko zero start (pronounce as sEro). Ginagawa ko yan with matching hand gestures. Kahit na hindi ako sineseryoso ng mga customer at akala nila eh istambay lang ako dun. Kahit na na-harass na ko dun ok lang din! haha.

Eto excerpt dun sa "report" na more of blog entry na binigay ko sa boss ko. Eto ung funny part, shempre hindi ko na ipapakita ung serious part of my report.

Observations and Experiences @ PMC Dasmarinas
1. The Dasma canopy’s peak hours are from 8AM to 10AM due to large number of cars coming from Dasmarinas village. I learned that most of the customers are from embassies and are therefore tax exempted provided that they show their certificates.
2. When I asked Mr. Art to let me perform the operation, he told me that I shall do so when a taxi arrives. So there, I was limited to loading gas to cabs and old cars, considering that most of the customers who gas up at Dasma canopy have very nice cars. I think the FC Attendants were just being cautious and were not very comfortable in me performing the forecourt service to “special” customers.
3. As I mentioned beforehand, I think the customers did not take me seriously as a FC Attendant. They just see me as a bystander, taking shelter under the canopy (since it was raining during my duty). There was a time that I felt harassed because I was standing between vans that are waiting to be loaded with gas and they were giving me hand signals (not very nice signals) and were dropping snide remarks with each other. Another time, after giving me the wink and smile routine, the customers even went out of their car to go to my place. I immediately went to another loading point.
4. Nonetheless, my duty as a FC Attendant was fun and educational. The Attendants were helpful and very accommodating.

Observations and Experiences @ PMC Bel-air
1.The line of taxis for Auto Gasul lasted until around 5AM.
2. One cab driver wanted me to load gas into his car (he was asking me in a kind of freaky manner) but since I was still performing under supervision, I told him that he would have to wait until we finish the current transaction. When it was his turn, he asked why I wouldn’t want to load fuel into his car alone and said that I was just making excuses. Fortunately he was not actually mad about it, he was just curious and interested in knowing what I was doing there.
3.There was also an incident were a crazy woman was lurking in the station’s premises, and obviously had a crush on one of the Supervisor trainees. The Security was able to peacefully send away the woman in no time.
4. I also noticed that the FC attendants did not have a hard time trying to stay awake during their shift because the convenience store was frequented with beautiful girls in gimmick outfits.

So ayan, yan ang mga pinaggagagawa ko nugn gas girl ako...maghanap ng chismis. Of course, this aside from me giving excellent forecourt service to customers..di ba Pia Taty and Mond? :D

****
Next time, I'll be a cashier at FIlinvest and Macapagal (ung parang walang customer na Petron na katapat ng Shell). God knows what will happen next. Sana lang walang magbayad ng pekeng pera at hindi ako mag-abono.

****
Looking forward to Sunday's frisbee game! Miss ko na maglaro! Had fun sa training nung Saturday kasi most of the oldies were there. May special visit pa from Towie bwahahaha. Change topic. I had a great sleep last night thanks to Papa D's salsa moves and unbuttoned polo (think salive dripping from mouth) Yummy.

PS: Jen tell me agad kapag effective si Singapore ha. :D

Kinukulit na kaong mag-update. Honestly wala talaga akong masulat noh! As in. Sayang lang hindi kayo nagpunta nung fiesta sa Batangas. Itago na lang natin sha sa pangalang Parada ng Litson. Ops! No violent reactions! FYI: hindi ako kasama sa parada kasi hindi ako nakagpag make-up pakshet, naunahan tuloy ako ni francine prieto dun sa truck kaya sha tuloy ung pinakita sa tv. Tapos Jason Gainza kelangan ba talgang hawakan ang aking mga kamay para mapansin ko na kasali ka pala sa parada? hehe, in fairness nakaktuwa ka. Kumulubot ang balat ko sa lahat ng tubig na ibunuhos sakin, at ngamoy pa kasi may kasamang beer ung iba. Kadirdir talaga. Sana inipon ko na lng ung beer tapos bingay ko sa Jogas.

What's ironic is that ni katiting na litson wala akong nakain!!!!

I have been so out of the circulation. In my first ever training after the hot league finals (teka 2nd na ata), andami ko nalaman!..Chismis, kwento, balita, scandals- mostly involving no other than my-now-alcoholic-friend mond. not surprising really.

Nalaman ko na aalis na pala si Lisa at kelangan nia lahat ng jungle survival skills na pwedeng ituro ng isang girl scout..Lisa, ang layo nun! We'll miss you!

Si Pia naka-bump and grind ang isang crush ni Jen.

At madami daw palang familiar faces na nakita sila taty while watching d world cup. yikeee! hehehe.

At si ius may trabaho na! :D

Tapos si mond buking na buking na nagsisinungaling..Ano ung sinasabi mong I have a clear consicence ha?! Sabay2 kami nagtxt sau tapos iba-iba ung reply mo. anober. And ano tong naririning ko about cherva?! Ahem ahem aminin na kze.

Ngayon ko lng nalaman na pwedeng maging mayor si joba tapos laging may fiesta sa mala-baranggay get-together-place aka Mang jimmy's. belated hapi birthday!

I quote "Special thanks to Jencarps.." Ui Jen, may committee ka na ba finally?!

PS: Abstain muna talaga ko sa alak..shet dati dati isang buong araw lng tumatagal ung hangover ko..ngayon halos isang linggo mahilohilo ako! grabe!
