I was suppose to have dinner with my highschool friends tonight but the plans were so gulo that I thought it would'nt push through. But at the last minute, my friend did text me that Greenbelt was the place, unfortunately i could'nt go because I already made plans to go with my dad and my sister to Greenhills. Sayang cause I really wanted to see my friends tonight esp since I just saw my dearest friend, Christine, last night in Makati telling her how we should all go tommorrow..

Haaaay!! Kar just bought a new phone. :) INNGGGIIITTT!!! I'm like the only person still stuck with a 3310!! Before, I would sometimes have the impulse in buying a new phone, but somehow I would stop because I would think all the clothes I could buy with the money. So here I am, still stuck with my phone which has been with me for more than 3 years. Anyway, I would not have come with them because it would have been torture for me but I wanted to help Kar, and besides, from going out of the house, I know my Dad would surely treat us to a nice restaurant. Who am I to pass up the chance? :) In my dad's words, "Basta pagkain, ikaw tlga." :D

what a day to say the least! :) I've never been so tired (due to lack of exercise and excess in eating everytime), but at the same time, I think it was a day wherein I've done so much :) With a few paper bills, and 5 peso coins worth 150 pesos, I prayed that I would be fine. :)

First was going to Baclaran to hear mass alone, and I'm proud of this because it was my first time to do this. I know being over twenty, it might seem like not so much, but being sheltered all my life, the fact that i commuted alone, with one heavy bag containing 9 pants and let alone, having a lot of people to make siksik, it felt pretty good inside. But most of all, maybe it was because, although everynight I would thank the Lord for my blessings, personally, I felt i needed to have my "connection" with him back again. I did not go there just to pray for my wishes to be granted but just to really say thanks. Anyway, since I was already in Baclaran, I decided to visit my grandparents since they were in a way near the church. So I bought some flowers that I could afford, and went there. Although they wanted me to stay for long, I could'nt because I already had a set time to meet joms. And when I told them I had to meet a friend, as expected, the first thing that they said was that "Wag muna boyfriend boyfriend ah!". I wanted to tell them don't worry because I might be "commitment-phobic" ;)

So I went to ride a jeep going to LRT Baclaran, and all the way to LRT Monument, as boring as it may seem, it gave me at least the chance to put down my heavy paper bag and to at least sit down. Out of boredom, from Baclaran to Monumento, it took me about less than 40 minutes. hehe. :) Since this was literally, my first time to go to monumento, I really told Joms to meet me as soon as I got to Monumento. Though I trust Joms, somehow I knew he would be late. And so he was. Anyway, as soon as he came, we went to his tailor for my pants. Thank God because the bag was absolutely killing my arm. Next stop, Lion's house. :) I must admit Lion was really nice enough to have us over for lunch considering that i only told him about that just only last night. hehe. I was even able to borrow Angel's and Demons. :)After a few hours, next stop, Megamall. :) Even if I kind of felt tired, this was the most important stop. :) Not because of more shopping, but because of Hands on Manila. :)

Since we got there early, Joms and I just window shopped. Haaay! Eventhough we were both hungry, we just kept thinking that we could save money by eating at home na lng. :( Anyway, when the orientation for Hands on Manila started, it was touching for me to see from High school students to even fathers, willing to help. :) When it was time to go home, which meant another mrt-lrt ride, it made me think how there really is still hope. :)

While Joms's stop was still a long way to go, I made my stop in Vito Cruz, since my Ate was taking up her Master's, to save me some money, i decided to wait for her instead. So here I am, typing in one of La Salle's lab, typing and at the same type, thanking the Lord for the care he has always given me esp. for today. :)

Even if I just went out last wednesday, when Co texted me for a movie, in a heartbeat, I replied "I would love to go watch a movie :)" I think even Co was surprised with my reply because aside from Farids, I have not really shown or let them feel my "presence."

Anyway, went to Glorietta again earlier than 12:30 since I had to ride with my parents to save me money. When I got there, I still felt the urge to shop . Haaay!! Gusto ko na magsawa mag-shopping! I think as long as I know that I have money to spend, I won't get tired of it. Waaaah!! But I know its coming to an end since my wallet's gone thinner and I really don't want to ask my parents for money. Good thing, I saved a lot during Christmas, and managed to keep some HK dollars. I'm so proud of myself. hahha! :D Anyway, what's frustrating is that even if I was able to check out the stores I just walked in before last wednesday, I still managed to buy some things!!! Arrgg!! How will I survive knowing the money I have left esp. since I still have plans on going out for this month!! Though I do feel guilty, I still felt good since among the things I bought, I was able to buy a gift for my ninong whom we we'll be staying with in L.A. and a good suspense novel, to at least keep my mind working when I'm at home. :)

When it was time to meet my friends (Seyds, Co, Jho, Joms), I was so excited cause I really wanted to watch Meet the Fockers for so long. I even joined this contest in ETC for some premier tickets. I texted, and I even faxed but haaay, no luck! But that's beside the point since at least I was able to watch it although it would have been neat if I was able to see it for free. The movie was so funny but I must admit, it was a good thing that mostly I was with my girl friends since most of the laughs came from sexual humor.

After a few pics, Co's xerox, and a failed attempt in getting my Ayala Card, I finally had to leave them cause my mom wanted to treat me for a Facial. Yey! hehe! :) What a way to cap of my day :) Especially since I know, after, I'd be eating at a chinese restaurant later that night in Greenbelt. I really can't blame myself for saying time and time again that Thank God its Friday!! :)

Even if Farids and I mostly walked, walked, and walked the streets of makati, it was still fun, since we just talked and talked :) I love talking to my friends! :) There are only 3 situations that I'm probably quiet when I'm with them , and that is when:

1) I'm mad and I don't want to vent my anger on them.
2) I'm in my thinking mode and
3) I'm feeling shy, meaning, there's a new friend or my crush is probably nearby. hehe.

Anyway, that's a whole new topic to discuss. Going back to Farids, I could'nt wait to see her cause the last time was during the "s19 Christmas dinner." From getting my CDs from her, going to my Ate's office, going to Farid's workplace, getting her salary, giving out her resumes, but just being in a company of a close friend was worth it, even if it meant walking in high heels!! While walking, we even saw VJ near the Insular Building, complete with a neck tie and all, I thought I was seeing a manager! naks! :) Its nice seeing a friend unexpectedly, maski di kami nilibre for lunch :D It was just too bad that we were not able to make a surprise visit to Ruz, because as it turned out, she's now working in Ortigas :( Miss you Ruz, super!

The only "lowlight" maybe of the day was my aching feet. After Farids said goodbye, I still had to wait for my parents which meant, walking still. It was funny and embarassing at the same time because I would sometimes catch myself talking to myself saying "ang sakit na ng paa ko!", with a matching sour expression. hehe. :) To think my friends say I'm very expressive esp. with facial reactions. haha! :) Though that did not hinder me from buying a jacket since Ayala is still on sale. Kapal ko noh to think that I won't have any money left since I don't have a steady source of money like an allowance or salary. hehe. Just enjoying while I still can!

Just watched the Lakers-Utah game over at Solar Sports Channel. It was the first time that I really watched a Lakers game since the season began. Haaayy! It makes me sad that I don't even know practically half of the players anymore. I miss the old team. Before, even from afar, I could usually tell who the players were, but now, I don't even know such players like Butler!?! :( Tapos, Bryant's injured pa along with the players I know like George and Divac. Though at the start of the fourth quarter, the score was pretty even, unfortunately, in the end, they still ended up losing! :P Haaay! Though that #7 player, Odom, is pretty good :)

Anyway, on to good things :) Since T.V and Food has practically been my bestfriends since the new year started, I just want to share my latest addiction. Its BTIC's Choco Chip! Its Chocolate Chips in Vanilla Frozen Yogurt. O-M-I-G-O-S-H!! Its an "ice cream" that even with just one taste, could make you feel oh so contented. Pure heaven!! I sometimes don't even notice that while watching T.V or talking to a friend, I have already finished a whole pint!! I'm even eating it right now, and the smile on my face just won't go away. hehe! :)

I can't wait to see Farids tom! :)

Since I have been liking the idea of being cooped up in our house for almost a week now with no contact from anyone aside from my family, I was now ready to go out :) Last night I was able to talk on the phone and log into the net :) I do miss my friends so it was a welcomed idea when Joms wanted to go to our house to borrow something, as well as to have lunch here na rin :P hay hay! :) Anyway, since my sleeping time these past few days have been erratic to the point that I almost sleep when my sisters are already waking up, I was not able to wake up early so I could prepare the things for Joms and to see if we have a good lunch for him. But as usual, just like when my friend visited me, I have just woken up past lunchtime and have not yet taken a bath. hehe. Pero ok lng, si Joms naman yan eh. hahah! :)

After Joms and I ate, since it was almost 3, I had to get ready since my parents have arrived to pick me up because my sister and I wanted to watch a movie. On our way to LaSalle, syempre daldal pa rin kami ni Joms :) It makes me realize that one of the things that you'll know if you are good friends with someone is that no matter how long you have not seen nor talked to each other, but once you do, you'll feel as if there was no "space."

As you know, I love Scary movies and since I did'nt feel like shopping, although I was able to squeeze in buying one blouse (hehe!), I asked my sister if it was okay to watch the only scary movie in G4, which was.... Sigaw! haha! I must confess, its not really a movie that i would be proud watching, but for me a scary movie is still is a scary movie, regardless which country made it. But unfortunately, HAY NAKU! Sayang! :P I was able to scream just once which meant that the movie was a dissapointment. Maybe I expected too much since I was hoping it was also good compared to Feng Shui wich made me scream countless times :)

Let me begin by saying that the movie was a mixture of the more known scary movies out there. The plot was basically like "The Others" and the scary scenes were like rehash of those found in Jap movies like The Grudge and The Eye. So just imagine either the Elevator or a Girl with a disheveled long hair. But for me it was not really what made the movie a dissapointment. It was because a lot of times there were a lot of scenes that could have had the potential to be really scary. Its just that they kept on building up a scene to be scary for tooooo long. I mean, I was holding my breath and I felt like I was about to scream, but because it was too long, when the scary part did happen, the thrill was no longer there :( But that's just for me.

I guess, I'm going back to normal :) If only everything really was back to normal. Anyway, I can't wait to go out. I'm excited that some of my "plans" might be pushing through. yey!:)

Ever since we came back from our vaction, as of the new year, my routine has been literally the same: wake up, watch T.V, Eat Brunch, watch T.V, Eat Merienda, watch T.V, Eat Dinner, Watch T.V, Eat Midnight Snack, Watch Videos (Lovers in Paris, Meteor Garden. hahah! Baduy na if Baduy!) , then lastly, Sleep. Every single day, my sisters would ask me if I was getting bored already, but as boring as it may seem, I love it :) While some don't like being alone, I feel like I'm in a 4-day Yoga session. I've been called in a corny way by my dad as being a "pal" as in palamunin and my corny sister as "buba" as in buhay baboy, it just goes to show how I'm the only funny one here in the house. heheh. :) Also I beg to disagree! I was the one who painstakingly took out the inside and oustide christmas decors of our house. hehe. :) And dilligently, sorted out mu sisters ironed clothes! hmp! So don't call me a Bum. I don't like that word. I'm just taking my time. There's a difference. :P

While I do want to find a job, i think it would be pointless as of now because after graduation day, I'd be leaving the country. Also my dad really does not want me, even though the idea has crossed my mind a couple of time. "Pataba ka muna!" would always be his reason. to As of now, since I have almost devoted almost a week for myself, I would now want to step out, and I just want to get started with my "plans".

I want to get started with the guitar I bought 2 years ago, thinking back then I could teach myself. I would also want to learn how to drive. I'd like also since I cannot officially work, to have at least a part time job. Maybe at a clothing store, so I could get discounts. hehe. :) I would also want to rekindle my friendships since I have not spoken to them since I got home. And lastly, I would want to do some charity work. Since my plans of studying again for becoming a teacher might possibly be by June, I could still get a head start by volunteering in an organization that does tutorials for free for our less blessed brothers and sisters. I've started inquiring with Hands on Manila but whether some might believe it or not, I'm kind of shy doing this alone. I just hope I could do this before I really get to work, because as much as I want to devote my life in charity work, realistically, I know my parents would not approve. And as much as I hate to say this, you really still need money in order to help :( After all, its now time to give back something to our society (Vote Bic for president!) :)If only I could drag someone with me ..;)
