hiatus

2007-02-28T11:31:00.000+08:00

niyak.. sorry kung medyo matagal akong hindi nakapag-update. Have many things to do kasi, kinda hectic and sched ko (gosh, for the first time in 10 months, naging hectic ulit ang sked ko!).. I'll make this quick.

What's new? My Hair. Amp. Nagpagupit ako. From the long, dry, wavy look I've had for ilang years na, I "transformed" into a mature-looking, short-haired, kulot lady. Grabe, kung makikita niyo lang yung difference one week ago and today, hahaha! Everyone I meet na kakilala ko keeps asking me, "Bakit ka nagpagupit?!" Hihiritan pa ng: "Sayang naman yung hair mo!" Arg. Ang kukulit. And as if naman I have to explain to everyone I meet why I had a haircut. Arg.

Another new scoop: My Mom's and my Tita's new phones. From Nokia loyalties, Samsung na sila pareho ngayon! Kakainggit. I'm stuck with my N6101 and they're having the time of their lives with their new high-tech phones. My tita got the Samsung D830 (ultra-thin, and I mean, ULTRA THIN. Mas manipis pa sa Ipod.) and my mom got the Samsung E760 (1.3 mp cam, 90+ internal memory in MB). Daya nga ng mom ko eh, she got the fone for only 8k+. I mean, sayang, I shoudl have got that phone nalang coz lahat ng features na gusto ko, nandun na sa phone na yun.

Last one: My new EXCLUSIVE Friendster account. Yup, you read right. EXCLUSIVE. Meaning for the people I know personally or mga close online friends ko lang. So there.

Sorry I can't make interesting posts ngayon. Have so much to do, so little time. Ciao!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2007-02-14T09:24:00.000+08:00

Yup, it's Valentines Day today!=) I wanna greet all the people I care about a Happy Valentines Day..

I'll make this post short kasi I have to fix myself for later. Darating kasi si Adam, we're gonna be making burgers and fruit shakes (kung may fruits mamaya) dito sa house. We won't go out, coz there would probably be many people in restaurants and malls today. Keep it simple, but sweet pa rin. =) I'll spill the "juicy" details tonight, if I could go OL.=) muah!

Where do I start?

2007-02-08T20:58:00.000+08:00

Where do I start my post? Many things happened since Saturday, so I'll probably start from the "exciting" events that happened last Saturday.

Saturday - MIR-CAT. Miriam College Admission Test for short. We arrived sa MC at 6:30AM, whereas the exam should start at 8:00. Di naman ako ganun kaexcited masyado noh? Haha! Saw my former classmate, Karel, sa may entrance. Still pretty as always. Loka2 pa rin..=) Met up with a textmate and online buddy, Jamie. Nakakawindang yung exam. As in. Pero it was not that difficult naman for someone who reviewed all High School lessons before the exam. Aba, one year ding dormant ang utak ko, then bigla akong isasabak sa Entrance Exam?! Okay naman yung test, not easy, not difficult. Tama lang. Nakakapikon lang kasi no drinks and food allowed. Eh nagdala pa naman ako ng maraming baon coz I can't stand 3 hours without food and drinks. Wala naman kasing sinabi na bawal magdala. Amp.

Monday - Greenhills Trip. We were going to have dinner with my lolo, my great grand parents, and my aunts and uncles sa Greenhills. Wala namang occasion, get-together lang ng "del Rosario Clan". Dumating kami dun at 5pm, eh it was still early kaya nag-ikot muna kami. Nagpakasentimental yung Dad ko, bumabalik daw kasi yung mga HS memories niya. Those were the days when my Dad and my uncles used to go to Greenhills with their barkadas. Ang laki na daw ng pinagbago ng Greenhills. Congested na daw yung place, unlike before na masusulyapan mo pa yung sky. Ngayon, hindi na. Pati daw yung malaking pond, where you could fish pa, was transformed into a pathwalk-nature-trail type na daanan and tambayan. The only thing left from the pond was this small fountain na nasa gilid nung "pathwalk". Then we ate sa Tender Bob's. Ang sasarap ng steaks nila, sayang nga I should have gotten the bigger serving ng steak na inorder ko..=)

Today - Clark Field, Pampanga (Hot Air Balloon Exhibit). We came to Clark at around 7am. Nakakaaliw yung mga Hot Air Balloons. It's something that you don't see everyday (unless you study at an aviation school or something). Ang dami ring nagpunta, mostly students who were having their fieldtrips. May mga booths and stuff for souvinier, henna tattoos and body piercings, kites, the Vente shop, etc.. It was a different experience.=)

I'll probably post the pictures of the Balloon Exhibit when I get the Digicam from my Dad. Ciao!

choir

2007-01-29T10:06:00.000+08:00

Weeee! So happy, got my yearbook na (finally!). Ayun, last Friday, we went to SM and bought some stuff, including a cute little kangaroo mouse and a pair of cuddly little guinea pigs. Then we headed to SSA to get the yearbook nga. I asked Adam to sign my copy. Sana I could get others to sign din, I mean, my batchmates. It's been a while since a "get-together" eh..

Anyway, my little bro's kinda sick right now. Tummy aches, fever, headsches, LBM, etc.. My parents are not at home, so I have to take care of him.. Gosh, I didn't know that I could do that! I mean, yah, we fight a lot.. All the time.. But that doesn't mean that I don't care about him..

Btw, I joined our parish choir. Had a practice last Saturday evening. Konti lang yung pumunta, so it was kinda easy to make new friends. Hindi nakaka-"out of place" masyado. And the people are really friendly. Kaya lang, I'm not part of the "Youth Choir". Sa evening mass kasi kumakanta yung Youth Choir, eh I can't go to church at night na walang kasama coz it's really dark dito sa neighborhood namin. Creepy pa. And I tried out for the lectors and commentators. I joined their meeting with the parish priest, kaya lang, I got really disappointed. Pano ba naman kasi, yung pari dun, mura ng mura.. As in: "punyemas!", "punyeta!", etc.. They should be the models of the society, for crying out loud! Tapos, konting mali lang sa pronunciation mo ng mga words, talagang naghyhysterical siya dun sa simbahan.. Not that I want to question his credibility as a priest, noh.. Pero, as Adam said, "Meron pa bang may credibility ngayon?", which is really true.. My parents are having second thoughts na about me joining the lectors and commentators because of the priest.. Pero kung sa choir, okay lang.. Kasi wala namang meetings with the priest ang mga kasali sa choir, unlike sa mga lectors.. I told them nalang na makikiramdam muna ako.. Kung talagang hindi maganda yung ginagawa nung pari, I'll quit. No matter how much I want to be a lector.

May LSS nanaman ako.. Arg.. Can't keep the song off my head! Yung "Dreaming of You" by Selena, yah know that? I watched American Idol kasi since the beginning of this new season (just missed one episode, actually). Eh ayun, nagstuck sakin yung Dreaming of You na kinanta ng isang sintonadong bruha.. Arg.

Btw, it's our 20th month anniversary today!=) happy monthsary to us! haha! And malapit na valentines... watcha think I should give Adam?

Yearbook

2007-01-25T17:35:00.000+08:00

Weeeee! I'm so happy, after almost a year ng graduation, lumabas na rin sawakas yung yearbook! I thought hindi ko na maaabutan yung yearbook kasi nga akala ko aalis na kami.. I'm so happy!

I don't have mine yet, pero Adam got his copy na kanina lang sa school. Ayun, kakaaliw yung mga descriptions. May ibang halatang hindi man lang pinag-isipan yung mga ilalagay nila (e.g. I am kind, I am nice, I like to play the PC, etc.).. My goodness, minsan ka lang mabibigyan ng chance to write your own description for yourself sa yearbook, hindi mo pa ayusin.. I mean, would you want people to remember you as "kind, nice, and one who loves to play PC games"? Well, siguro nga there are some people na gusto yun.. Ewan ko lang..

I'll post some "hilarious" and very nice descriptions about certain people here when I get my copy.. Ciao!

Pang-asar. My head hurts like hell, I'm bored and I smell like a mutt. Andito ako sa house ng lola ko sa Sta. Mesa (refer to the pictures below) and I wanna go home na. Actually, gusto kong mag-mall coz bibili ako ng USB Flashdrive for personal use. Mahirap kasing magsave ng mga files sa PCs namin coz maraming gumagamit (we have a PC shop) and baka may gumalaw or what. Kaya ayun. 700php nalang ipon ko. Arg. I'm broke. Hindi na ako makakabili ng ibang stuff if I buy the USB disk.. =(

Okay na rin naman coz yung kapitbahay namin, nagpapagawa ng project which would cost about 200+ or maybe higher pa kasi mahal ang printing. Nagtataka naman ako, pwede namang sila nalang yung gumwa ng mga projects and homeworks nila, ipapagawa pa nila sa iba. Tsktsk, bad habit. At least, kikita ako! Hahaha! Bad noh? Choice naman nila yun eh. Baka wala silang tiwala sa gawa nila kaya sakin sila nagpapagawa (yabang!) or maybe tamad lang talaga...:p

Nga pala, I've been reading Bob Ong's books, namely ABNKKBSNPLAko?!, Paboritong Libro ni Hudas, and Stainless Longganisa. Galing magsulat ni Pareng Bob! Idol! He has this odd way of writing. Una, kasi Filipino language ang gamit niya. Second, he expresses his opinions in a "street-style" manner. Yun bang, typical Filipino conversations. And third, nakakainspire yung mga masterpieces niya kahit na may pagka-barumbado yung way ng pagsulat niya.

ABNKKBSNPLAko?! mainly focuses on Bob's school life and his after-school experiences. Isa sa mga favorite books ko yon, kakaaliw kasi siyang basahin. And you would really appreciate Life in School when you read it. Kumbaga, after mo siyang basahin, mas itetreasure mo yung mga moments mo sa school. And highlight ng book yung last part. May batang tumae sa chair..=) Memories...=)

Yung Paboritong Libro ni Hudas naman, puro kalokohan.. Funny siya, as in. Yung mga maliliit na bagay like mga lumilipad na ipis, etc. hindi mo aakalaing maiisipang gawan ng kwento. Basta, nakakaaliw siya.. Read it nalang, and you would begin to look at every little detail about"LIFE" in a hilarious way..=)

Then ito namang Stainless Longganisa, all about writers and writing. Ang dami kong nakuhang tips from this book.. Thanks, Pareng Bob! I owe you a lot!

New Years Pix

2007-01-16T11:40:00.000+08:00

Arg. I was about to publish this post when the computer suddenly hanged. Pag di ka nga naman talaga minamalas...

Went to Miriam yesterday. Kumuha kami ng application form and paid for the Entrance Exam. Infairness, ang ganda ng campus nila..=) Everywhere you look, you'll see GREEN. As in, green plants, green grass, green people... Nah, just kidding.. Very naturistic yung place, tapos tahimik pa.. Well, siguro dahil wala masyadong students kahapon..

Atat na akong pumasok! Weeee! Sana makapasa ako sa MC, really want to study there.. As compared kasi sa UST, mas malapit ang MC. And pag sa UST ako, baka mas mastress pa ako sa travel time kaysa sa school work. :p And for a change, all-girls school naman ako.. Ever since kasi, co-ed na yung mga schools na pinasukan ko..

Sa Feb.3 na pala yung Entrance Exam.. Have to study really hard if I want to get into MC. Aba, iba parin yung mataas yung grades mo sa Entrance Exams, noh.. Marami pa akong aasikasuhin na forms like recommendation letters from the Registrar, Guidance Councelor, and teachers. Plus, some other docs from my former school. Have to finish all these requirements by Friday para makapag-aral na ako ng derecho. Woooh, pressure! I miss the pressure from school, anyway. Sabi nga ni Adam, I work even better on pressure (which is really true). Thus, proving that I am more like my father than I am like my mother. My dad likes working under pressure din eh.. And my mom doesn't. Maselan kasi yung mom ko, ako hindi naman masyado. Conservative siya, ako liberated. She's shy, I'm NOT. Well, it depends on the situation. Haha!

Anyway, I'm gonna post some of our pics nung New Year. Hindi ko siya napost before coz nagkaproblem yung card reader namin. So, here:

^^ with some of the kids in our neighborhood.

^^ and a lot more kids from the neighborhood. ^_^

^^ in my Lola's house sa Sta. Mesa

^^ and another. ^_^

Kain na ulit ako.. Ciao!

No telephone?!

2007-01-10T11:38:00.000+08:00

Waaaaah I'm gonna go crazy! Nasira kasi yung telephone ko sa room, eh wala naman kaming spare handset... =( Disaster noh? Hindi ko na tuloy makakausap si Adam in private. Arg. Pero okay na rin yun, para at least hindi ko siya pupuyatin sa telebabad. The longest time we've ever talked on the phone was until 3:30am ata. Twice yun eh, nag-away kami one time, tapos yung isa, we just talked. Pag maganda and interesting kasi yung conversation, it's uber hard to put the phone down. Plus, si Adam pa yung kausap ko.

I just wish I could get another telephone. Yung matino, hindi yung bulok. And isa pa, hindi naman ako papayagan na bumili ng bagong phone ng aking dear parents. Ugh. Pero kung mapipilit ko sila, sana nga ibili ako. Yun na nga lang ang aking hobby dito sa house, ipagkakait pa nila sa akin?! And who in the right mind would want to talk to their BFs/GFs pag walang privacy? Not na may tinatago kami or what.. Cm'mon, I'm being as honest as hell na nga sa parents ko when it comes to my relationship with Adam.. I just want to be able to talk to Adam and other people na walang umeeklat sa conversations. Dagdag mo pa yung tsismosang yaya ko. Arg.

Watch ako ng Sana Maulit Muli!=) I'm not a big fan of Kim and Gerald, I just like the twists of the story. And in fairness, kakakilig naman siya kahit papano (asus, deny pa ako..^_^). And the hell I care if people call me baduy dahil lang sa panonood ko ng mga teleseryes. As if naman hindi din sila nanunood ng mga teleseryes or koreanovelas. Ugh. I'd rather support Filipino teleseryes than watch koreanovelas or chinovelas. Not my type. And not that I'm against chinovelas and koreanovelas. I've had my own share of that din naman. I was and still am a big fan of "Lovers in Paris" and I watched Meteor Garden from the first until the last season. =p Mga kakornihan ko nga naman.. hahaha!

Eat lang ako ng lunch..=) muah!

Sawakas!

2007-01-09T15:44:00.000+08:00

Yihee! May maghohost na sakin.. Si Ate Bhebie! Sana matuloy, kasi yung nagsabing maghohost sakin dati, inindian ako..=( Pero it's okay, I understand naman. I mean, money niya yun so he has a choice naman kung sino yung ihohost niya, ayt?

Last night, I was staring at my ceiling. Tinitignan ko yung mga scribbles ko ng glow-in-the-dark paint, pati na yung mga scotchtape marks na remembrance ng mga posters ko before (yup, I stuck posters on my ceiling, not on the walls..^_^). Then I saw two lizards na naghahabulan sa wall ko, behind my curtains. Haha! They were running after each other, mukhang in-heat.. ^_^ Nakakaaliw panoorin coz yung room ko, laging dinadalaw ng mga lizards, and minsan lang ako makakita ng naghahabulan..

Speaking of being in-heat, mating season ba ngayon? Hahaha! Eh kasi naman, even my dogs and the dogs sa street namin, naghahabulan. Umagang-umaga, you would see dogs on the streets humping with their (*ehem*) organs sticking out. How gross, pero animals sila eh, as if naman mapipigil ko silang mag-mate pag binugaw ko sila.. Then at night naman, my cats keep on "meowing" like there's no tomorrow. Why? Yup, you guessed right, in-heat din sila.. Yung window pa naman ng room ko, nakatapat sa tulugan nila. Can't sleep well pag maingay yung mga pets namin... Haaay, anyway, matatapos din naman 'tong "season" nila.. :p

Nga pala, last night, nagkababaan kami ni Adam sa phone. Kasi naman, he was already very sleepy nung kausap ko siya. Actually, nakakatulog na siya. Ayaw pa rin niyang ibaba yung phone. Eh isipin mo naman, how the hell will I talk to someone who is already asleep? Tapos ayun, nung kinulit ko, aba, nagalit pa.. Weird noh? And so mababaw... Well, it happens. Every relationship goes through these "mababaw argument" stages naman, ayt? And isa pa, medyo PMSy ako ngayon.. So, there... (Naku, yung dad ko, eto, sumisilip sa tinatype ko... Usisero!!)

Ok na kami now... Ayan, the phone's ringing na.. :p Si Adam na siguro yan, got to go na.. ^_^ Ciao and buhbye!

Creepy

2007-01-08T15:01:00.000+08:00

Aww... Nawala na yung enthusiasm ko kay Ederlyn. Si Adam kasi eh, tinakot pa ako kagabi. Sabi niya, multo daw si Ederlyn. Awooooooo... Hehehe! Actually, he didn't say anything naman about Ederlyn being a mumu, nagcomment lang siya about something I can't remember.. Pero kahit na. Creepy pa rin.. Arg.

Kamuzta naman ang aking new layout? Just finished the last touches, baka dagdagan ko pa ulit tomorrow, bahala na. I'm trying to get a domain for this blog, wala namang gustong maghost. Huhuhu... Wawa naman ako..

Nag-usap na daw sina Mama and Papa awhileago about the Australia thingy. Sa Melbourne nalang daw kami, if ever mag-push through yung migration. I researched about Melbourne. Puro Italians daw dun, and the climate's colder than Brisbane. Good, coz allergic ako sa init. Can you imagine that? Gawsh, I think I'm allergic to almost everything I sniff in.

By the way, here are some snapshots of Melbourne:

Ganda noh? Hehe mahirap makahanap ganyan dito sa Philippines.=)

Wala na akong money!!! Dineposit ko na sa bank yung 2k na nakuha ko for Christmas.. Actually, i got 2.7k from my ninongs and ninangs.. Am still waiting for the ones which will come from my great grandparents.. haha! Kapal bah?=)

Well, anyway... Ciao for now..
