pictography

wala na sanang proof, kasi hindi naman halata wait, bakit lumalapad ilong ko?...> kaso ang dami talagang instances na puro ganun na lang. so without further ado, me in my resplendent glory.. caught in the act while doing my favorite past time..

nang magpa-pizza c sa office

nang manlibre c stefy sa cafe juanita

nang tumanda ako ng isa na namang taon kasama ang mga kaibigan sa Good Earth G-belt (di pa ko nasarapan sa food sa lagay na yan..)

Nang-aano siya eh..

naku bakit ba naman kasi ang lakas ng "inis factor" mo? bumuntong-hininga ka lang at narinig ko eh sira na araw ko... Ayan tuloy at kinailangan ko ang tulong ng friend kong si Chocolate Mallows para lang maka-move on sa inis...

dream, dream, dreeaaammm

I should have written about this a few weeks ago when it was still fresh in my memory. I only told two people about it, my mom and my younger brother, and none else, so forgive me if I might be a little vague. This dream occurred during the 2-week Holiday last December, right after the endless holiday parties (a.k.a. multiple encounters with current ult crush hehe). It particularly caught my attention because I never had a dream (come true haha, so not..) quite so vivid. Usually, I couldn't remember the dream, even the characters and I always felt like being strangled. Strangely enough, this particular dream though still has that heart-thumping, blood-racing feel, I can remember every tiny detail. So here it is.

It began with the expectation of a wedding, my OWN wedding for crying out loud! (I don't even have a romantic something with anybody at ikakasal na ko?!? hahaha the fates must be kidding me...) Anyhoo, the first sequence was the day before the wedding and the "me" in the dream was, of course, overly nervous and a bit hesitant to proceed, what with the huge crowd looking on. Then it wore on AT day of the wedding na agad! (kamusta naman ang bilis ng mga pangyayari di ba?). I wore an uber-beautiful dress daw kaso naka-slippers lang ako (take note, slippers ito na rubber talaga, ano ba ito..kachaka-han). Most of my co-workers were there daw. Ayun at dumating ang groom na si dyan-dya-raran... (itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Timmy Turner, naku hindi maganda ang kakalabasan nang mga ganyang pangalan..hehe). Dumating na nga c Timmy Turner at ang kanyang father PERO 3 HOURS late sila. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naghintay pa ko nang ganun katagal. PERO, PERO, PERO, hindi ito ang dahilan ng kainisan ko.

Eto yun: May mga dumating daw na mga Ateneans (na hindi ko din maintindihan kung bakit Ateneans...) AT nagpa-picture daw sa altar kasama ang aking supposedly-groom while I was LOOKING ON. Weird. So ayun, shempre yun na yung point daw na hindi na kinaya ng lola kaya sabay tayo ako at tumakbo palabas ng church. I passed by supposedly-father-in-law daw and said sorry sabay takbo ulit. Paglabas, biglang nasa labas na ko ng building ng Commerce sa UST at pumara ng taxi (Ayan, sabi na ngang magulo eh). Habang umaandar daw paalis yung taxi, there appeared my supposed-groom in a (pause for effect) FREAKIN' WHITE HORSE kasama ang aking friend na si Yani in her bridesmaid gown at hinahanap nila 'ko. Last shot was (parang rundown lang ng video footage) me looking back at nakita daw ako ni supposed-groom sa loob ng taxi but can't do anything kasi traffic. There ended my tumultuous dream.

So ayun, hindi na 'ko mapakali ever since. I've been trying to make sense out of it but because of my mind's limited capacity (super limited. kumbaga Celeron ang processor kung CPU ako..), hindi ko ma-decipher kung anong gustong sabihin ng dream na yun.

So kung sino man ang may knowledge on dream interpretation, please put me out of my misery and explain why I had that dream.

And to cap this off, hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung bakit ako naka-Beach Walk sa kasal ko. Haayys.

i am g-i-d-d-y

as i've never been so for the longest time. Nothing will be dimming it for a while. Not even the alcohol clogging my system for the past few days. Neither will the fact that the reason I'm feeling this way is overly pathetic.

And even if I want THINGS to happen, it never will. Buti na lang, I was saved by the practicality of my own mind. The practicality to view it as a "super-welcome distraction" to my once-bleak world. Eeeuw. Pero hindi nga, at least I know kung saan ako nakatayo at kung saan siya nandon. Andun sa Makati, at minsan andito. Hahahaha. Ayun kinikilig lang.

Salamat sa suporta guys (insert sarcasm). Kahit nakakahiyang lumabas ang pinakatatagong lihim ko, okay lang. Naka-kiss naman. Hahaha.

Haaayyy......

Kapitolyo Rendezvous with Stefy!

At long last nai-post ko na din ang pics from our Cafe Juanita experience! Started out as Steph's curiosity when she passed by the place, then came research and a little hemming and hawing and we're off to Kapitolyo. And because of this, I'm now starting to look for places with the same feel. The ff are our pictures of the place, with ourselves included:

"selves" portrait

check out their collections of miniature houses! dami!!!

cafe juanita

Aside from the lush feel ng surroundings, masarap din yung food. I specially loved their "mediterranean" offerings. But a big no-no to their cheesecake. Too sour for my taste.

Anyways, our next stop: Ilustrado @ Intramuros and Cosa Nostra @ Malate.

Pre-Christmas Blues

when will the dark days end? these past few months, the darkness have always found a way to make my days gloomy and...dark.hehe. parang somewhere around the corner, something is lurking to pounce on me and ruin my day. sure there are things that eventually cheered me up (i.e. the twilight series, Grey's anatomy, my super cute pamangkin, a new pair of shoes) but i was never content for long.

now that the season for cheer is already near (pag nag-rhyme pa ko, nakuuuu ewan ko na lang..hehe), i just want to wish this away. i don't want to be uncle scrooge resurrected in a female body and scare my tons of pamangkins and inaanaks with a bellow and a frown. so to brighten up my mood a little, here's my unconventional wish list for xmas 08:

1. widen my geographical outlook by going out of town with friends (yani and steph) or going on a solitary trip
2. ituloy ang christmas family reunion despite of weird occurrences. (i miss my cousins..)
3. better health conditions for pops who will be coming home for Christmas kasi may sakit cia.. =(
4. to be with my uber-cute pamangkin/inaanak every week.. the cutest baby who ever graced the planet with his existence (hehe biased). i swear i'll post his pictures if he will sit still long enough for me to take one. hehe.
5. to lose 10 pounds. (to prepare for my hosting stint on december 13.hehe)

and allow me to be a little conventional..
5. a white MacBook
6. a new phone (to replace my ancient 2 year-old v3i)
7. a hardbound copy of "Breaking Dawn"
8. an iPod Touch
9. shoes, shoes and shoes
10. quoting shirleen, bagella, bagella at marami pang bagella

and lastly, my uber-crush of 3-years who doesn't even know i exist. okay, a little pathetic scene for a while there...hehe.. and miraculously, it worked! i'm now all giddy.. just have to make this last for a few hours..

Welcome distraction

Been sick for 5 straight days 2 weeks back. I kinda miss being tucked up with pillows in bed and spoiled rotten by mom. Unlike my two younger brothers (who by the way are way bigger than I am physically), I rarely get sick. I could probably blame my strong immune system but lo and behold, it failed me for 5 glorious days. Ayun, nagkaroon ako ng chance na magamit ang sick leave ko! hahaha, baad.

But now, back to reality, I realized that probably my body just missed being babied a bit. For as long as I can remember kasi, I'm the family "order-taker", mama's gofer, my brothers' tutor and sometimes, assignment and project maker and a whole lot more. So for five days, I was treated like the princess that I would never be. =)
