songs for the moment

since i dont want to write about stuff that is not worth mentioning and remembering... i'd just channel all these thoughts in writing my favorite lyrics from different songs...

1. " no one else can fix me, although sometimes my heart tricks me, on thinking someone else will do, but you're the only one, the only one... am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life, unless you come around, so come around.." - rhett miller "come around"

2. "i said i dont know, if id ever been good enough..." - matchbox twenty "push"

3. "say goodbye, not knowing when the truth in my whole life begin.. i learned to let go of the illusion that we can both have" - madonna "ill remember"

4. "when you feel all alone, and the world has turned its back on you, give me a moment please, to tame your wild heart." - savage garden "crash and burn"

5. "i wish you made sense, like a joke that no one gets, its a life qithout regret, i wanted to fel that way forever.." -natalie imbruglia "wishing i was there"

6. "you can call me selfish, but all i want is your love. you can call me hopeless, cause i am hopelessly in love. you can call me unperfect, but whose perfect? tell me what i gotta do, to prove myself .. " - n'sync "selfish"

7. "i know what you doing, i see it all to clear... everyone keeps asking, whats it all about, i used to be so certain, now i cant fiugre out..." - duncan sheik "barely breathing"

8. "when the daylights gone, and you are on your own, and you need a friend just to be around,.. together we'll survive through the haste and hurry." - corrs "at your side"

9. "well i guess i' trying to be nonchalant about it, but when i would go to extremes to prove im fine without you, but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind, underneath the guise of smile gradually i'm dying inside." - mariah carey "breakdown"

10. "i believe that faith has brought us here, we should be together babe, but we are not.." - macy gray "i try"

by the way, challenge 'to.. do you guys know what songs are these and who sang it? if you want to answer the challenge, just put in in the comment box (1-10) yan!

weekend! yehey!

my weekend was busy, busy, busy.. but at the same time fun!

friday (8/26) - happy birthday dad!!!
my day would usually start normal having breakfast at pantry with people from the office, the fun part was the donuts!!!, i ate half a slice of the oreo flavored donut and also half of the blueberry and cottage cheese - this was something new from cello's, but the price is double the regular donut. ang daya!

we had lunch sa oody's, malu's treat again, nakakahiya na! we ate there to discuss my pending evaluation, which turned out to be okay naman... julette and kaye's comment stuck on me lang. yun lang yung naalala ko from all the comment people made for the 360! "he snaps at people" and "when driving, please drive with more patience" - salamat for these advice hah?!
then i went straight home to accompany my mom to go to greenhills cause she was buying a gift for my dad - what a personal errand i have that i need to file a leave for it pa. we bought my dad a gift she had in mind, which was the audiovok(?) dvd player - the one which has screen na 8 inches and you can bring sa car. so she asettled for that, a gift that she will be the one who will most likely benefit from - all those korean cds will surely be played, even though not at home.

we had dinner sa congo grill, near abs - this is my favorite place for filipino food aside from masas. their sisig is just heaven.. i also loved their bicol express, although the luya was so evident from the dish. their pinakbet is a must have, their tuna belly was gigantic, their sizzling squid was good to, better than krocodile's, and their kirpsy pata was one of the best. i was suppose to have dessert pa, but suddenly i cant na. haha. we ate with some of my cousins and aunts (lin, adu, kev, tristel, juju, jaja, aunti g, tita bot, mom, dad, ags, cho and me) i just discovered that during fridays and saturdays there was this duo that plays their - kinda like mymp.. their voice sounds good naman kaya lang we need to transfer to a more private and enclosed place para makapag-usap naman kami lahat!

saturday (8/27)
i woke up early to find myself alone at gateway because i was suppose to meet julette there. all of them were running late so i just went around. julette was there earlier than kaye so nag-ikot na kami, and both nga kami tanga sa lugar at pag-iikot esp cubao - wala kaming alam dun eh. but am so proud to say that we arrived in marinika shoe expo and went sa mga ukay's.. julette got a bag, while i got alikabok in my face.

we met with "the late" ryan and kaye (joke lang) sa bellini's in marikina shoe expo.. the tri-colored pasta i had was good! the rice pudding ba yun, that kaye ordered was good too. the pizza was okay lang din, sakto lang for the 4 of us, kasi pag sobra ang pangit naman. ito sakto lang. hehehe. after nagikot lang kami inside, i got to buy 2 stuff sa grand thrift house - one bracelete na ewan ko ba bakit ko binili, but i liked it naman. and also this yosi case, na di ko din alam bakit ko binili cause i dont smoke naman. pero am super happy that i got these things. i'll be back ata there with julette, but first i plan to watch yung japanese film festival sa shangri-la. i hop hindi ako tamarin.
had dinner with ama(lola) at tramway restaurant. hindi naman ganun kasarap but eat all you can siya so somehow the food makes it forgivable. i like the duck though. was super busog. the i went at CBTL with tita bot, ags and cho, got a chai tea frapp and went straight to halfmoon for my bibingcrepe.. chococheese! yoohoo! i better go back to the gym na.

sunday (8/28) happy birthday ahya ichi!!!
cheryl invited me to try cold rock in the fort, kasi since sa selecta nga siya nag work. dapat nga niyang matikman lahat ng competitive products nila. but before that we went sa rockwell to look at the vintage bazaar, i got a shirt for myself from analogsoul. and then i was given more infos, i guess by on of the owner, who is miguel naguiat. so ill contact him na lang daw if i want more designs or so.. funny, they dont have a store, which means what?! - i dont know.
after, we looked around and cheryl got to buy naman her "ama" slippers (pang-lola kasi).. we looked around mga gamit pang bahay and we liked a lot of things, it is as if wer gonna buy talaga.
then we went na to the fort to get our cold rock, i got these aussie vanilla with dough and brownies and she got cookies and cream with snickers. - super tamis. i wasnt that happy with it, i feel like gulping sugar.
after that, we went to greenhills naman, and met my family. we ate at aristocrat - ive discovered, its better than alex III pa pala, one of the few aristocrat's left.. one in roxas diba?! but ito mas malapit ata in my place and offers the same chicken and pork barbecue which are my comort food...

looking forward for my next weekend.

in circles

*** i dreamt that i resigned na daw and was about to leave GASSO?!*** weird.

Anyways...
This post is about a good friend of mine back in college. J(F) and P(M) (ex-couple) were both good friends of mine, they met because of me and it is through that, that they became closer and soon became a couple. Its been 5 years since then. Both of them are troubled in a way, J although now happily dating, didnt really tell the true reason why she broke up with P. Her reason was the same as everyone else's - "growth" - the word we use when we cant sat what we really want to say.

J would text me every so often to ask about how P is doing.. and of course i wouldnt really know, so i would text him and ask him how he is doing... so between researching for materials and making presentations for the client, i my phone wouldnt stop beeping cause im texting 2 persons at the same time. Buti na lang i mastered the art "wrong sending" - i am careful when it comes to this stuff. i heard a lot of stories about couple's breaking up bec of this..

Honestly, P is the good type of guy. He agreed to whatever she proposed(the break-up) and believed in all this hoolabaloo... He was supporting her "growth" in finding what she really wanted about her future career, plans of going to abroad and work there. But "growth" was really leading to the arms of another guy. J broke up with him becuase of thsi main reason.. that there was another one. I couldn't even tell him this fact, i know that this will crush his heart so bad. i know how much he loves her.

Here are some of the verbatims she used:
"Can i just love them both. I still care about P, and i love D. I dont know hu im better with, but i love D."
"Nasakatan ko kasi P, 5 years kong kasama yun, wala siyang kaalam-alam, di ko kayang sabihin sa kanya"
-- all i can get from this, is that nakokonsyensya lang talaga siya, and that doesnt seem to prove anything. From her mismo na nanggaling na he loves D more and cares about P na lang.

Here are some of the verbatims he used:
"Kung kaya ko lang gawan ng paraan na kalimutan niya ako at di na niya ako isipin"
"Kamusta na siya? Balitaan mo ako.."
"Kung yun yung gusto niya, okay lang sa akin. Wala akong magagawa."
-- can you get any more martyr?! i want to wake you up and tell you that there is something wrong here.

I just hope this wont happen to me, or to any of my friends.

this week, i've been dragging myself to work. i do feel that something is wrong with me! i dont really know but it has something to do about the way i feel. lately, i just wanted to be alone, if not alone - i just want to be with a limited number of people, either one or two. i really dont have an idea why?! my attitude was always "the more the merrier" but not now.

i had lunch at new bombay(yum,yum,yum!!!) - a post on it when im in the mood na - yah lunch with.... no one. it isnt a big deal though kasi im kinda used to do that naman na! i just miss that situation, when im enjoying my food, and watching and observing people around me. im back to my loner self! thank god???!!!

SUCK! is the word that describes the mood that i am in right now. i really have no idea why?! i just try to put a smileon my face and continue with this day, week.. looking forward for a brighter one.

on a tuesday, a happy birthday!

clockwise: carrot cake, chicken ala kiev, chicken and pork adobo, and kahlua cake plus walnut date

happy birthday obee! :) (8/23)
its funny cause i texted her early yeterday and asked her if she has any plans that night, so she said she didnt, so we decided just to have dinner.

unfortunately, her high school friends were waiting daw in her condo, and we didnt know what to do.. so rocky, aimee, obee and i just had dinner (all of them are her friends from bacolod, so i dont really know them) i just met them sometime ago. and i told my college barkada not to follow anymore kasi nagmamadali kami cause some people are waiting for her pa ... back to dinner: dapat sa katre, but obee really wanted to eat at chocoalte kiss! again! sawa na ata ako, so ill not go there in mga 3 weeks muna. but masarap pa din yung food, no doubt about it.
its the first time that i tried chicken and pork adobo- it was good, better than cafe bola's pa nga. the cakes were good too, and of course yung chicken ala kiev, the cream and cheese smothered inside was too creamy! carbo loading!

on a monday, i hear you

clockwise: CBTL's spicy pasta salad, chinese chiken salad, me and cheryl, concorde cake(with ganache)

yesterday(monday) about 7pm, everyone left the office already except for the 4 of us (malu,jo,berlin and me).. freaky. pero okay lang alam ko naman na di ako nakakramdam. malu asked me if im going na? sabi ko na ill stay pa until my friend arrives, she's on the way na, and i told her to go na kasi she's not feeling well. but sabay na lang daw kami since she dont want to wait in the condo daw.

well, i stayed in the office for 2 reasons:
1. malu and i were consolidating research for a client.
2. my friend texted me to meet up daw. here's a glimpse of what transcribed between out texts:

"Anton umuwi k n b? Huy mt up naman tau! Nasasad lng tlga ko ng over! :)"
"And2 pako ofc, nsan ka ba?"
"La lng. Nasasad lng me. Gs2 k mkpgsalamuha sa tao hahaha :) naintndhan m un?"

- so she picked me up and after a long debate and walking all rufino, we finally decided to eat at coffee bean.. masarap yung concorde cake nila, and i learned from my friend, that ganache chocolates aare the best so siyempre we tried it. the list of restos came up new bombay, figaro, tosh, aposento, vanilla bean(closed na kasi)...
actually its fun to meet up a friend, she was complaining na di daw kasi ako nagpapakita! nakakatawa, cause nagusap kami nung sunday lang over the phone, nagkwentuhan kami ng medyo mahaba-haba. so we talked about her work (complaining again) - i really dont know if im just matiisin, cause i have no complaints in what i do, or im just damn lucky! well, ang dami pa naming pinagusapan, our plans, and the future and stuff....

so my monday a-okay! i heard her, and heard myself too!

full of cakes on a saturday

i went to kevin's(cousin) basketball game in xavier, last saturday. we arrived (w/ lin & tita bebs) ng 4th quarter with only 10 senconds left. hahaha! how ironic, buti na lang nag overtime, so we get to watch the next 5 minutes of the game..

yahoo!!! to kev and teammates (including banal's son) for winning the game with last years champ, CSA. Moveover, fellas, Xavier is coming in strong with 5 wins and 1 lose, from La Salle. Next game would be versus Ateneo and thats on Wednesday, 430pm.. I was making a comment after the game that i was their lucky cheerer cause i was screaming so bad! and one of the dad (i dont know who he is) suggested that i should be present on wednesday! magleave ba ako for the game?! hahaha.

back to banal, akala ko siya yung coach! and i quote him on saying "sa PBA hindi nga ako kinakabahan, mas kinakabahan ako dito.." sige na, sure... going back to my alm amter for almost how many years brings back a lot of memories, in that gym where we had PE and CAT(yulk)... basta masaya din naman to see a whole new generation of xavierians, palying basketball, and janitors cheering for out team, siyempre home court advanage 'to.

after that, tita bebs, tita bot, lin and i went to greenhills to look around. grabe sumakit yung paa ko cause we were walking from 1pm to 6pm. ito ata yung tedious na pag-iikot eh. kapagod! pero okay lang, lin bought a lot of things while ako liked some shirts but didnt buy any. i have no more money, and i kinda bought a lot of stuff like yung mga paul smith perfumes i bought na sale last wednesday sa rcbc plaza.

i also tried kg's cheesecake - which for me didnt really taste that good, ang asim, pakla or walang lasa.. nung crust, i though it should be semi-sweet. not so sweet pero wag naman maasim. sana i tried the brazo or decadence cake na lang, baka its much better.

also for chicho's birthday, he bought a cake (siyempre for any birthdays naman) sa red ribbon, honye cake. i'm feasting on it right now, yesterday and the other day! hahaha. shit tataba na talaga ako because im eating cake 3x a day. one learning though, hindi masarap pag na sa ref yung cake, its better if its just room temperature.

and finally, we had dinner at chocolate kiss with ags,cho and (mom)?!-oops. no reactions please. but ill kwento na lang some other day! kaye was there too with ryan, got to meet her up there, and funny thing, she pre-ordered me my devils foodcake! yum yum yum. (thank you kaye!!! next time yung ensayamada ko na sa brothers. im just looking for the right timing to fill my empty stomach.) i loved the chocolate and caramel blend but di masyado yung frosting, it was too sweet! i also had gamberi which was deliscious. i hope i wasnt too full lang when i ate there, cause i ate tons of cake na nga kasi.

so my saturday was just all about cakes, hence the title... :)

traffic. gutom. tayo ka lang.

skyflakes moment while going to JT's (thursdsay 8/18)
these 2 words really go well together... you always seem hungry when you are stuck in traffic. well, at least we were 3 there (kaye,julette) and i wasnt driving (thanks mang bonat)!

we went to eat at JT's, i really wanted to try this restaurant for so long already, and yesterday was just the perfect time. it was a cool evening, siyempre walang aircon dun kaya okay na malamig ang atmosphere, the ambiance naman was okay, para kang by the beach na may nag-barbecue, ihaw... ang saya! and siyempre the music was very relaxing, hindi naman relaxing na parang running water, but how should i say this, we wanted to burn the CD! hahaha!

the food we ate: paa, baticolon, garlic rice, atay and excite kalamansi juice! ang ganda nung name nung last noh?! basta masarap. kaye and ryan ordered batchoy and barbecue... ewan ko ba kung masrap talaga or were we just damn hugry, hgalit galit na nga muna kami eh.

happy birthday chicho! (friday 8/19)
we kinda punk'd him yesterday (aggie's idea).. we gave him a wrapped gift, it was a book (a series of unfortunate events which has thirteen series) the he owned, una mukha pa siyang surprised pero nung nabuksan niya, sabi niya:
"eh akin na 'to eh.. akala ko pa naman book 3 na" - chicho while looking so excited
"feeling mo naman, masyado kang nag-expect" - aggie

then we gave him aggie's real gift.. it was packed nga lang na parang basura...
"ano to, akin din ata ito eh..." - chicho
"ewan..." - aggie

fgd
conducting a focus group is always fun. but not when you get to stand up from 1 to 630pm, and along the way running to stores and buying stuff that is needed. also meals pa, na they couldnt deliver and i have to pick them up myself. hay! ako ay dakilang slave.

books bleh bleh

i just finished reading 11 minutes by paolo coelho. actually parang puro reflections yun nasa story na ito eh, and bilib ako kay maria... when you are suddenly pushed through the limit, you can either go on or get out.. at siya parating fight, fight, fight.. she learned a lot, but she tried to hide a lot of things, things that deep down she really wanted. the ending was typical parang ang dami niyang pretentions kasi, minsan nakaka-inis na. pero at the end, she still had what she wanted!

---> this book made me think! not because of anything else, but just made me think all about the lessons one can pick up, suddenly i found myself afraid of what the future may bring. natakot na ako, na-praning na ako... hindi nga ako makatulog kagabi...

what was i afraid of ba? -- death, it can come anytime and without me even being prepared. and i never wanted to be in that situation, eh ngayon pa nga lang, im well prepared for my work and stuff, i never am unprepared. maybe i should be prepared in order for me to not be afraid na din. hay!!! but my best defensive strategy for that is to block it all and dont think about it na lang.

but today got me thinking na dapat ata iniisip ko na to, and i should be prepared for whatever it is that will come my way. as malu said nga na souls that are not at peace wonder and they are stuck here with missions to complete. currently, i dont think im at peace nga cause of my situtaion with my mom, we havent spoken for about 2 months na ata... eh pano kung mamatay ako, eh di wandering soul din ako. ayaw ko nga nun! bahala na.

adeline yen mah's falling leaves is a must read. kung mahilig ka sa mga may history and personal stories that goes with it. it is basically about a memoir of an unwanted chinese daughter.. punyeta! dito sa book na 'to, i just cant imagine how people can be so cruel, i can expect other people but kung kapatid mo? thats a different story. (sorry, eto yung twist ng story) i feel blessed nga na the era i was born in is not so complicated as theirs, pero malay ko nga ba talaga diba?!

it basically ended on a positive note, after all those years of struggle and finding out what is her status na talaga with her family... at least it came to a point na she found the answers to her one and only question...

maybe i should stop thinking about books that i read..

desserts galore

the past week was like rest week for me, it was fun yet booooring!!! but whenever i have nothing to do, i get to read blogs, do my own and actually put pictures in it... so dont be shocked when you see tons of pictures here. hehehe!

anyway, officially, today is my 6th month here at the office! as part fo my celebration, i asked marj to treat me last friday sa chef ed's cause of our bet that she lost. the lower left was chocolate souffle i think, i forgot na the name na nga dahil sobrang sarap niya. the chocolate was gooey, yung masarap na gooey ah! basta you guys better try it! and the one sa right niya is the fried ice cream in orange sauce with strawberry puree - pucha. sosi yung name noh! well, it was good too! parang mochi balls but better, masarap na nakahalo sa ice cream yung fried crust eh. and the sauces were great! basat yumyum! gusto ko na ulit bumaba at pumunta dun, someone stop me lang cause ang mahal niya for desserts.

the left top picture was the shoes i bought, the one i was talknig about sa past blog ko! hehehe! sa super tuwa ko, i decided to dedicate a part of this for them! hahaha! parang tao ba?! and the one on the right is my friend from college pa.

kids in the house

this is my cousin, ken or ke-ken, isnt he cute? :) he's turning 2 this sept 5.
i adore this kid so much that everytime i arrive home, he is the first one i look for.

well, i have always loved kids, they are just the cutest in the world! i am just lucky that we live in the same house, so that i can play with him anytime i like... i think this situation allows me to be a kid sometimes, although im the eldest in the house among the cousins. i can play with them and just joke around with them, we even buy food together and eat like nag-aagawan... isnt this fun?! hahaha.

i realized that my smaller cousins those aged 8-12 years old, really appreciate our situatuion. how would i know this? let us remember that i am a conprober, and for project bf, i asked them what are the happy moments in their life or parang party stuff for them? they said.. "tayo-tayo, when we are all here together, naglalaro ng PS2, kumakain, nagtatapunan ng unan.." and then i realized that... hey, these small things matter to them... :)

back to ken, what do we usually play?
- i tour him in the garden to look at the beautfil and colorful orchids.
- i throw him up in the air like superman
- i give him food to eat, cause he looks so funny! like in the picture while eating cello cookies and cream doughnuts! he's in a mess...
- we go to jollibee, to play at the same time eat his favorite french fries.
basta we do a lot of things that we both enjoy!

now, im faced by the fact that i am 20 years older than him, he can be my son for crying out loud! i just wish he wouldnt grow up too soon. i like him like that, uttering words like:
- "pape" = ape (uncle in english)
- "toton" = tonton (my nickname)
- "bebo" = bebot (my autns name)
- "taggie" = aggie (my sisters name)
- "tite" = tristel (my cousins name) - isnt this funny! everytime he would call her, we would all laugh!

his favorite word would be "bobe" = no in english! everytime you would ask him something, ang sagot niya ay "bobe"!!!!

i just hope they all wouldnt grow up too soon, i wish they enjoyed these moments as much as i did...

must tries

i had the time to check some magazines and blogs that have so many featured restaurants in them that i wanna try... its always easy to find something new, and fortunately i have friends na pwede kong hatakin that enjoys the same passion as i do.. which is trying new stuff like food, film, shopping in ukays, desserts, etc... though im not really so much into buying stuff, it must be worth experiencing going through it. hehehe!

here goes the list of the things that i wanna try...
RESTAURANTS:
- Prince of Jaipur in the Fort.
- Brazil Brazil in Metrowalk
- Carpacho in Yakal
- Blue Bacon and Green Eggs in Cubao
- Lumiere in Makati Ave cor Ayala
- Omakase in Libis
- Heaven and Eggs in QC

SHOPPING:
- Ukays in Cubao and Aurora blvd (w/ Julette cause am not familiar in this place, might get lost)
- Anonas
- San Juan Agora Market
- EDSA cor POEA

DESSERTS:
- Cake2Go in Greenhills
- Cold Rock in Fort (wnna compare it sana with Floyd's???)
- Hoops Donuts in Alabang (have tried both Cello's cookies and cream - masarap!)
- Devils Foodcake in Chocolate Kiss' (blueberry cheesecake - heaven!!!)

Some things that i miss...
- Pantoja's cheese bread (yum!!!)
- Food Channels' Shawarma (though masarap din ang You Go Bossing)
- Krispy Kreme (someone bring me a box of Krispy Kreme)
- Nestle's Alpine White (definiteyl still my favorite chocolate inthe world)

for me, food defintely brings back a lot of memories, from way back. and i cant seem to forget them as they are stucked vivdly in my head... maybe its an addiction, or maybe its just the comfort that it gives me when im eating that same food i ate way back... in conclusion, i just love it and i defintely appreciate food!

so, do you guys have any suggestions on where we should go eat next?! but those places would be put on hold, there's a long line waiting... so little time, so many must tries...

gloomy monday

its a gloomy monday - i hope this doesn't dictate how the rest of the week will go...

the weather is just perfect, i love it.. just cant handle when it rains so hard, but this temperature is okay for me. suites me just right, and even if i hadn't and enough sleep (insomia-developing), my mood is still up! maybe it was because of the white chocolate dream and chocolate muffin i had from CBTL. whew!

happy birthday to ma' friend bon! hahaha! i'll meet him sometime this week! a funny story coincides with this... we havent met for 2 years na but may constant communication naman, we met up sa starbucks in ashcreek, so i was right infront of him but he was still looking for me. he called me pa nga in my mobile and asked, where am i? i was right in front of him!!! hindi na niya ako namukhaan maybe siyempre dahil sa weight issue yan! sobrang nakakatawa, he was asking me if took drugs or shabu?!?! hahaha.

i also have a conprobe tonight @ la loma with ate roda and her daughter ela now 8 years old.. grabe i saw this them about 5 years ago pa, i was still weighing about 190+ kilos then... i'm sure they would picture me that way. im anticipating how that meeting would happen. hahaha!

rain rain go away...

i had a blast.

that was the statement i had in mind in describing my saturday...

i went to greenhills, havent been there for a month plus na, which is totally nerve wracking cause before, i was there every sunday! but i havent been going out on sundays since "the incident"...

i was with aggie (my sister), cause she needs to go to her optalmologist for her contacts, i think it should be changed again... i have no clue. :)

bored to death cause i was just waiting, i tried to look around, and guess what - i was able to buy myself a pair of nike shoes! i was kinda decided cause when the guy asked me whether i wanna get it, i said yes in less than 15 secs. hehehe! maybe, it shows how desperate i was to shop and get myself some things. since mostly i buy stuff for other people, like presents, etc... so that kinda made my day.

we watched charlie and the chocolate factorty.. it was a good movie. i was entertained by it though the musical part sometimes made me wanna sleep. i think johnny depp's performance was good. i never liked him, never watched any of his movies, but this is something different. it was "unlike" him.. then again, he's an actor...

i also enjoyed my floyd's hot fudge sunday.. it was soo good. the calories was all worth it!

i had dinner at chocolate kiss.. yum! been anticipating to eat there. i ate the hickory ribs and aggie had the chicken ala kiev, i liked mine better. after our meals, i tried to order the devils foodcake, pero naubusan na... shit! so much for my anticiaption. okay lang, i had the blueberry cheesecake na lang. much better!

pasta galore. food trip. VULTURES.

at long last, i had my well-rested sleep. i was anticipating for it to happen for a long time now, and it did.. last night! as soon as i lied down, i was asleep already, and woke up 7 plus na... for the past 2 days kasi i was awake by 6.30am which is kind of a sacrifice but its okay. i do feel though that i have a sleeping problem cause i really find it hard to sleep at night except when im really tired, and if my day goes for like 3 days.

yesterday, we went to BI for a dinner meeting, cause malu was kinda celebrating her birthday din there. the pasta was soo good! it was seafood marinara, the best i've ever tasted. yum! and now i had pasta again for lunch cause malu was also treating us here @ gasso. i've tried all 3 pasta's and pesto is my real favorite.. double yum!!! the chicken was good to, they were ordering it from a director - may paner, i think that was her name.

it was just good! it was a festive occassion, everyone was in the pantry, really excited for her to arrive, greet her and eat lunch.... BUT suddenly some people just need to be so irritating, that i cant even stare at them as they attack all the food there. i mean yeah, i wasnt the one who brought the food, good for them cause if was that one, ill call all the people here first and cetainly not them. i didnt even hear one of them greeted her. i mean what was that all about.. you guys ate, not even a greeting. come on.. we are all mature people in here, and we gotta have some manners. is that so hard to do?! well, i can only comment on a certain level because i am not really close to them and i hardly even talk to them. so what im saying is not on a personal basis, but more on how they acted... sigh!!! some people just need to be taught how to act properly...

car crash. spiders.

while on the way to the office around 7AM... i almost bumped this jeep. whew.. buti hindi buti almost lang, kasi kundi i'll never drive any car agian in my entire life, the jeep was just right infront of me and i suddenly released the breaks.. how stupid can i get! those people from the jeep were all shocked, looking at me with their judgemental faces. i can hear them saying "ang bobo naman ng taong to.." hahaha. sori mas bobo sila, sila natakot eh. but i actually got back in my senses kasi baka matuluyan nako.

well, any other manilenos can definitely agree when i say that manila is a danger zone to most motorist. there's so many car accidents happening all over the metro - maybe because of the undisciplined jeep, taxi and fx drivers... they are the one stopping in the middle of the road at nagsasakay at nagbaba ng tao! only in the philippines, even in vietnamn, they dont do that.

after that, i saw naman a spider (maliit lang naman) sa car, and it freaked me out, i was trying to kill it while driving, so now.. i dont know where that spider is, he better be dead! and now, you can imagine how messy i was or (still) am this morning... not in terms of looking messy but i feel messy, like i didnt have enough time to rest, and still being here early. well i think i've gotten use to it. dont take me wrong, hindi ako nagrereklamo.

i'm sure that nag-german language na naman ako while sleeping kagabi, kasi yun naman ang ginagawa ko pag super pagod nako...

till my next german adventure! bleh!

august 1, 2005

i got up really early today(6am- pretty early for me who usually wakes me at the exact time), to go to the office cause we have a presenataion at 10am... i know that i am not really needed here, but i still feel that i gotta do something. hehehe.

now, ikwento ko lang what happened nung last weekend...
- last firday, i was suppose to meet paolo up cause i promised him to meet him up naman whenever i got time to talk about stuff lang, kasi nga nagbreak sila ni joyce right?! medyo naawa lang ako sa tao. he doesnt know anything, mas alam ko pa ata. but i gotta keep quiet so not to hurt him more.. complicated noh, i always find myself in the middle of relationships, although hindi talaga siya magandang pwesto... but hey, someone's gotta do it and they are my friends still...

but actually, di ko pa siya nakausap cause i had dinner @ bravo with julette, kaye, iya, anna and teri... it was teri's last day at work. we stayed at the office til mga 8PM, cause everyone was there pa, finalizing stuff for todays presentation. hohoho! so we just had dinner and talked about a lot of things, things which i cannot disclose because of certain sensitivites, but well, okay lang. ganyan lang naman talaga. its not an attack on the person naman but on work.. so wala akong ma-comment, and i felt the same thnig they felt... :)

last saturday... naawa ako kay ken becuase he was crying, his mom left him kasi sa house, so ang solusyon sa batang umiiyak?! pumunta ng jollibee (or bee accdg to ken), we played and played and ate - so in short, nahilo ako.. yun lang.

than, i went to makati with lester, and chris(lester's friend from grade school) - nag-ikot ikot lang kami and saw stuffs that i really wanna buy, and i will buy it next week. hahaha!
shopping galore na 'to:
- a OLD NAVY shirt for my dad - its his birthday on the 26th!
- a SPRINGFIELD bag - for travelling purposes!
- a NIKE shoes - for my feet. havent bought shoes in a long time, so back to revenge!
- a PAULO COELHO book! "By the river Piedra..."

after, we had dinner in TOSH sa Valero since they havent tried that pa, and i wanted sana them to try it, i ate with che,tracy,cy,alvin,chris and lester... nakita ko pa nga si joan, kasama ata BF niya... ayaw nila maniwala sa akin na may Warner na waiter dun dati.. but the owner proved them wrong, nasa libis branch na daw siya ngayon. By this time, pinapatay na kami ng paa namin, 4 hours kaming nag-iikot. hahaha!

i think napansin din nila ang ka-weirdohan ko. doing all sort of thing.. hahaha kahit mukha na akong tanga. si chris pala nakatira sa canda, but siya yung taong medyo parehas ko, we like certain kind of food.. like japanese salad sa UCC, tofu steak sa teriyaki boy.. basta weird, pero madami kami parehas na gusto...

after the dinenr, tumambay lang kami sa coffe bean til 12mn, so mga 3 hours lang kaming nagkwentuhan abot plans, nung kabataan pa namin sa xavier... actually the 3 of them came from the same section na F, so nakikitawa lang ako cause i kinda know them naman. hahaha!

i'll just update this blog tom, or whenever i have time ulit. we'll have dinner (GASSO peeps) at Masas in GB2 for teri's despedida...
