Super Powers

Was able to watch X-Men: The Last Stand last Saturday and I liked it. The special effects was superb, the story line was okay (there was some tinge of drama in it but it wasn't too mushy and it was well blended in the story) and of course Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is hot as ever. But before the movie, Gary treated us to dinner at Aveneto. And while we were eating Joel told us that while they were on their way to Makati, he and Gary got to talk about what super powers would they want to have. Hahaha so childish but Grace and I thought about it ourselves. Joel said that he'd like to be invisible. He'd go to all the places he wanted to go (since no one will see him board a plane so no plane fare, thank you very much!), he'd attend all the meetings his bosses go to and this is the most important one -- babatukan nya boss nya pag may sinasabing masama against him. Grace said she wanted to be like Mystic and be able to transform into anyone. I forgot Gary's answer..I think he wanted two super powers. I said I wanted to have X-ray vision para makapanilip harharhar. But when I heard their answers I wanted to change my mind..I've been giving it a lot of thought but I can't think of just one super power that will make me the best among all of them. =P So I'll just rest my decision here...


Your Superhero Profile

Your Superhero Name is The Platypus Carrot
Your Superpower is Witchcraft
Your Weakness is Cowboys
Your Weapon is Your Particle Bow
Your Mode of Transportation is Snowboard

Hahaha what kind of a name is that?!?!? And I don't like my superpower hahahahaha that won't make me so powerful. Or maybe it can...the Charmed Ones are the most powerful witches...but I think that's because of the Power of Three. Hmmm...I have to get myself other superheroes/witches who has witchcraft as her superpower. Hahahaha! At talagang sinersyoso! From X-Men to Charmed ito!

Wag mo kong dalawin

Bakit ba kasi kinagat ni Eba ang mansanas???? Sabi nila parusa daw ng Diyos kay Eba ang buwanang dalaw. Linsyak yang si Eba! Naiiyak na ko sa sakit ng puson ko. Di ako makatrabaho. Pakshet! Gusto ko umuwi, humiga at matulog para mawala ang sakit. :( Di pa naman ako makakauwi agad mamaya dahil may pupuntahan pa kong despedida. Hay bakit ba kasi kailangan pa nito. Buwan-buwan na lang!

Oh yes...I'm the great pretender

How can I tell you that I'm not your friend? That I don't consider you my friend. I don't even like you. I just pretend that I like you. I have this feeling that you don't like me either and you're also just pretending. So maybe that's one thing we have in common. I don't like it that you just made your way into the group. I don't like it that now they hang out more often with you than with me. Okay I know I'm such a brat for feeling this way. But there, that's what I feel. Happy? Argh! I hate your guts! If I only I could take them back from you...but now they're slowly slipping away from me. And I miss them. I really do...




*Siguro any of my friends reading this is already thinking kung sila kaya yon...hehehe...sige isip pa kayo.

Galileo Enoteca

Penny and I arrived at Galileo Enoteca at around 8pm last Friday. When we got there they already ordered. The place had set menus which serves cold cuts, cheese, pasta, wine and coffee. Since I can't eat most of what they ordered, I ordered an extra garden salad with tuna (damn that fucking diet!). I don't know what the fuzz was all about about that place. The food wasn't extra ordinary (or was it because I only ate the salad and some cold cuts). Although I liked the salad. Charline pre-ordered the mozarella cheese (which is their best seller) but they told us they were already out. Baka that would have changed my mind about their food. Maybe it was the ambience of the place. The place is actually good for dinner dates for couples since it's a small and cozy place...romantic. Although I think I mostly saw groups of friends/families that were there that night. The resto is actually a wine cellar. There are wine bottles lined acrossed the walls and you can actually pick one for yourself. Pero everytime that Steve holds a bottle ninenerbiyos ako na baka mabasag nya.


Playing with the wine bottles at the end of our dinner. Steve was supposed to be holding an Eiffel Tower key chain to his ear (kunyari pirate na may earrings, gets?)


It's our turn to gulp down more wine.


Janice, Steve, Charllan, Penny and me

Muntik pang hindi matuloy-tuloy ang lakad na 'to. Kasi naman si Mands may sinabay na ibang dinner appointment. Si Steve tuloy nagtampo. Well, actually tampo din ako buti na lang matino ang explanation ni Mands. His future depended on that dinner date so okay na rin sa kin. Good thing he followed when we had coffee at Metrowalk. It was supposed to be our birthday treat for Steve and Charline but since only some of us were able to come we just postponed our treat for them. Tentatively on June 17: water spa somewhere in QC.

Dinner was fun since Janice told us about her Mediterranean cruise/Europe trip last Holy Week. She gave us her pasalubong -- Eiffel Tower key chain and Eiffel Tower letter opener for me :). Jose who wasn't able to go also gave his pasalubong from HK thru Charline. He gave us a mirror (na ang ganda ng nasa loob! lakas! hahaha) and a little candy holder from Disneyland (sarap ng candy!). Also it was the first time that Charline and Allan had dinner with us as a couple. They're so sweet. Kwento sila kung kelan at pano naging sila...guess what? While watching Bandidas - which according to them was such a lousy movie. Kaya pala nagkasagutan na lang sila sa sinehan! Hahahaha!

After dinner we headed to Metrowalk. It was my first time to go there kahit na ang lapit lapit lang ng opisina ko don. We continued our chikahan at Starbucks - treat ni Charline dahil she was assigned to head Financials already. Congratulations! Or was it Allan's treat dahil sinagot sya ni Charline? Ah ewan! Basta silang dalawa ang bumili ng kape. Mands arrived at around 11pm. He told us about his dates. Yes with an "S" since it was sort of a soiree pala. We were asking him if he got any phone numbers but he always changes the topic after. We were joking that the next time he's going he should bring us along parang kasabwat. Para in case he finds someone he likes kaming girls na ang babakod para madali sya makalapit. Bright idea noh! We went home at 2am na siguro with our stomachs full of coffee(from the frap) and air(dahil sa kakatawa).

Bato

Batong-bato na ko sa pag-iintay. I'm having dinner with some friends tonight and I'm waiting for Penny to pick me up. Kaso wala pa sya. Kanina I was blog-hopping kaso sakit na ng ulo ko sa pagbabasa.




Ay sus! Nagulat pa ko sa pag-vibrate nitong cellphone ko... Shortlived ang post dahil nagtext na syang anjan na sya malapit na...gotta go down na sa lobby. Babush!

Walang sabit

It's been two days in a row that Joema and I had lunch together, yesterday and today. I'm so happy to spend time with him since we weren't able to see each other this past Saturday because he was still sick and because of the typhoon Caloy. When we meet up at lunch during office days, our usual meeting place is as at Powerbooks, Megamall since it's the closest store from Ortigas MRT. Yesterday, when I got to Powerbooks I saw a friend.

Me: D!
D: Uy!
Me: San ka na work?
D: sa *toot*
Me: Sa Makati? Sabi ni J sa bahay ka na lang daw nagwowork.
D: Lumipat na kami sa *toot*. Kaw san boyfriend mo?
Me: Hinahanap ko din e.

I thought that was a weird question to ask me since it was a weekday. Where did he get the idea that Joema and I are always together? Bakit naman kami magiging magkasama ni Joema di naman kami officemates. Not that I was offended or anything I just found it weird. I like being with Joema and kung pwede lang na we see each other everyday then that would be super ok with me. But I also value my time with my friends without Joema always tagging along. As I've said, I'd like to be always with him but I'm happy that I have friends of my own and he has friends of his own. That I can enjoy going out even without him. Yung tipong kaya kong maging masaya sa gimik na di ko iniisip na guilty ako dahil naiwan ko sya or anything. Siguro this comes with being single, that is, not married. Kasi syempre when you're single and you go out, there's no one worrying about you (that excludes parents if you're still living with them, like me). Unlike, when you're married kahiya naman sa asawa mo kung gimik ka ng gimik tapos di mo sya kasama. Pero kasi naman there are some people who have boyfriends/girlfriends na pag aayain mo gumimik parating dapat isama mo sa invite yung partner. What if di mo naman friend yung partner nya or di naman kayo close or you just want to be with the girls. Dapat walang sabit! Meron na bang iba jan na super seloso/selosa na dapat palagi silang kasama or di ka papayagan kung ayaw nila yung mga kasama mo. Ay sus gusto parating nakasabit! Buti na lang hindi ganon si Joema. I should give it to him because ever since hindi nya ko pinipigilan gumimik. It's enough for him to know where I'll go and who are the friends I'm with. That's one of the reasons I sooo love about him.

Bituing Walang Ningning

My mother, me and Ate Gina were watching Little Big Star when Angelika dela Cruz came out on stage and sang 'Bituing Walang Ningning' with Sarah Geronimo and the winners of LBS season 1. Ate Gina asked my mother who were in the original movie and my mom said Sharon Cuneta and Cherrie Gil and that there was a third one.

Me: Ma, ibang pelikula naman yung sinasabi mo e..yung kasama nila si Dina Bonnevie.

Mama: Di ko naman sinabing si Dina e..basta may pangatlo pa silang kasama...si Cherrie Pie Picache ata.

Me: Cherrie Pie? Di pa artista si Cherrie Pie Picache non.

Mama: Sinong may sabi sayo...basta meron pang pangatlo...parehong-pareho yung kwento sa pelikula chaka jan (pertaining to the tv show)

Argh! What can I do to convince her that it was only Sharon and Cherie Gil in the movie. Haay....Ma, kung di lang kita mahal...Advance Happy Mother's Day!

Pumapatak na naman ang ulan

Tamad na tamad na ko. I want to go home and curl up in my bed. Mga isang oras pa ang itatagal ko sa opisinang ito. Sarap matulog pag ganitong umuulan. Rainy days are here again. Sana maaga matapos ang tag-ulan. Sana July di na tag-ulan hehehe. Kanta na lang ako...

Pumapatak na naman ang ulan sa bubong ng bahay,
di maiwasang gumawa ng di inaasahang bagay,
laklak ng laklak ng beer magdamagan
may kahirapan at di maiwasan
mabuti pa kayang matulog ka na langat baka sumakit ang tiyan

AI and TAR

I was shocked to read this this morning. Of the four remaining contestants in American Idol this season, I like Chris the most. Aside from being my "katukayo" I think he's the best singer of the four. And I was able to watch his audition in the early parts of AI. He was with his wife and he's such a good man to be able to love a woman with kids from another man and also love the kids as if they are his own. I really liked him when they sang love songs. Chris sang "Have you ever really loved a woman". If only he looked better I would have fallen in love with him hahaha. I almost cried when I watched the video of Chris' elimination. Nakakabigla naman kasing mag-announce si Ryan Seacrest. Pinupuri pa nya tas biglang he's out na pala. Sadness...so sad. Now I have to settle for Elliott in the remaining Idol hopefuls. Sayang I wasn't able to watch this week's episode.


******

On a happeir note, MoJo was eliminated from the last leg of TAR9 hehe. I don't like them coz they hate the hippies, BJ and Tyler. I like the latter because of their happy-go-lucky way of competing in the race. It's been twice that they've arrived last in the pit stop but luckily both are non-eliminated legs of the race. But if I have to choose who I'd like to win of the remaining pairs: BJ and Tyler, Eric and Jeremy, Ray and Yolanda I think I'll have a hard time. I like all the three of them. Eric and Jeremy are both strong and although they are not that smart they haven't done any stupid mistakes during the course of the race. Ray and Yolanda on the other hand started out as a weak pair. It was only in the last episode (the leg before the Thailand pitstop) that they finished first. But they are such nice people so I still like them. They have their own share of bickering with each other but they seem like a sweet couple. Let's just wait for the two-hour season finale on May 17. Sana ipalabas ng two hours sa studio23. Damn we don't have cable TV!

Brought to you by the number 5 and the letters L, B and S

Fucker!!! I gained 5lbs!!! Waaaaaaaaahhhh!!! I had to ask my gym instructor to give me a dietary regimen...here's what he gave me:

Breakfast (730am)
Protein: chicken, fish, lean meat, egg, tuna
1 - 1 1/2 cups of rice or 2-3 slices of what bread or 1 cup oatmeal
1pc of fruit: apple, orang, banana
1 multivitamin and mineral supplement
1 250mg vitamin C

Midmorning (930-10am)
1 - 2 slices of wheat bread with peanut butter (low sugar) or with tuna

Lunch (1230pm)
rice or pasta
Protein source same as breakfast
1pc of fruit (oprtional)
1 cup of vegetables
1 250mg vitamin C

Midafternoon
1/2 portion of tuna, peanut butter
1 pc of wheat bread

Dinner
Protein (chicken, fish)
1 - 1 1/2 cup of mixed vegetables
1/2 cup rice (on weight training days) -- so I have to do weight training every day instead of cardio every other day so that I can eat rice every night

*Minimize salty foods
*Avopid sweets including fruits after lunch
*Drink at least 12 glasses of water a day

And then he told me that we'll have to see the scales again after two weeks to see if I loss weight. Hindi naman sya masyadong nam-pressure noh! He told me that I should go to the gym more often...do weight training 2-3 times a week and cardio 5 times a week. No pressure talaga! I can only look for the silver lining in this whole diet thingy: 1 free day..as in I get to eat ice cream, burgers, pizza, french fries in one day for the whole week. Okay that's still sad but atleast I get to eat greasy food once a week =p

Plump

My gym instructor told me yesterday that he'll get my "fat content" today ahahaha I forgot what he called it. But that means I have to be weighed again like what he did more than a year ago when I joined the gym. Oh no! I'm so nervuous! (yes, with the extra "u" for emphasis!) I always get depressed when I weigh myself. I think I'm heavy for my height. No I'm not gonna divulge my weight and my height here. This brings back memories from college... Flashback first year college PE class: stretching (would you believe there is such a class). Our PE instructor had us weighed, took our height and then measured our fat with a fat caliper. Argh! My result: I was "plump"! Or should that be in present tense as in...I am plump. Waaahhh!!! Takot talaga ko para mamaya!

New look

Yipii!!! I now have a new look for my blog. Although I still have some things to change I love the template that I got from blogskins. And I know I said I want something related to Thumbelina or in choco brown+pink motif but I can't find anything that's close to that. So I got this instead. I like the picture of the girl in front of the rainbow and I like the black background. Sort of girly because of the girl and the rainbow theme but not really because of the background. I luv it!

Joema's sick

As I said in my earlier post he's sick. He got sick right after his birthday. I read his text to me this morning when I woke up that he wasn't able to report to office coz he woke up at 2am, which means super late na sya at nagsusuka daw sya at nanlalambot. :( When he woke up this afternoon and ate his lunch (instant noodles), his stomach still wasn't feeling better sinuka lang nya yung kinain nya. He just went home to Bocaue and went to the doctor with his tita. The findings: peptic ulcer. He was given two sets of medicine, he can not eat anything spicy or salty, and he was advised to rest for 3 days. No work for him for 3 days. That means he has to go to the office on Friday..one day for the whole week that he has to go. Buti sana kung ang lapit nya sa opisina nya. But noooo...he has to travel all the way to Pasay City (north to south ito!). I told him to get a doctor's certificate so that he can show it to his TL. I hope he gets better na. He's so sickly. He catches a cold almost every month, if not that his asthma attacks. Basta he has to go on leave every month because he gets sick. Kung pwede lang na ako na lang ang magkasakit :(

Happy and Sad

Belated happy birthday to my honey and get well soon. Bakit ka ba kasi nagkasakit? Popcorn lang naman kinain natin yesterday. Hope you feel better already...

New skin

I so want a new skin for my blog. I'm looking here. I hope I find something Thumbelina-ish hehe. Joema suggested the name of my blog. Thumbelina since I'm small. But not that small of course. I'm not a freako! Or if I don't find something related to Thumbelina I want something in chocolate brown and pink. That's the new color combination that I like. I found it while skimming through a wedding magazine (no, I'm not getting married yet and no plans still) and one of the motif they suggested was choco brown and pink, together with green and pink, and orange and pink combo. Pink is so girly but I think the choco brown brings out the elegance in the combo. Basta I like it! Sana naman makakita ako tonight.

I hate him

I know hate is such a big word and I shouldn't be saying that. But after yesterday I can't help myself. I really shouldn't feel this way especially after I've been to confession just a few days ago. I should leave before I completely hate him. I love him but if we go on like this I might regret saying or doing some bad things. How can you leave somebody that you're stuck with? How can you leave somebody that you didn't even had a choice to be with at the very beginning? I know I'm such a lousy person for thinking this. I'm disappointed with myself for ever feeling this. And I'm so sorry.

Hundred Islands April 29-30, 2006



It's been a week since my trip to Hundred Islands at Alaminos, Pangasinan. The original plan was everyone will sleep at our house so that all of us can leave early Saturday morning and catch the first bus ride to Alaminos. But Sharon had a family dinner to go to on Friday night so she didn't sleep at our place. Cristina and I went home together coz we're both coming from Ortigas. We met up at Robinson's Galleria coz I had some grocery shopping to do for our supplies for the outing...vodka, Sprite, chips, cookies, bread and tuna(for our tuna sandwich as our breakfast for the next day - which Reyna calls 'clubhouse sandwich'). We reached home earlier than Reyna because she came from Makati and she left a little late na rin. It was about 11pm when she arrived. We rested for a while then decided to take a bath since we initially planned to sleep before our trip. But since it was a bit late and we might not wake up in time, we decided instead not to sleep anymore. We were contacting Sheryl to tell her that she doesn't have to come over and we'll pass by her house the next morning but she wasn't answering our calls or replying to our text messages. She called Reyna before 2am and she was at another gimik, told us that we'll meet up at Dagupan Bus Line. So we left the house at 3am expecting to get a ride 4am at the latest since the idiot I talked to over the phone told me that Dagupan Bus Line has an hourly trip 24/7 to Alaminos, Pangasina. We got there at 330am but there was no bus in sight. Grrrr!!! Sharon and Sheryl arrived and there was still no bus. We transferred to Victory Liner at around 430am because their first trip was 430am. Too bad we weren't able to make it for their earliest trip. But that's ok since we got tickets for their 530am trip.


We were all asleep throughout the more-than-7-hour bus ride going to Alaminos. We arrived at Alaminos at around 12noon. We ate at the Mcdonald's near the bus station before we proceeded to the Hundred Islands Resort Hotel. But I think our hotel wasn't known to the tricycle drivers there because when we said Hundred Islands Resort we were led to the dock were there are boats that can take us to the Islands. Fortunately, there was a manong there who showed us where the hotel was. We changed in our swimsuits and rested for a while before we left for the islands.

We left the hotel before 3pm and proceeded to the dock with our boatman, Mang Rudy. We rented snorkeling gears because we thought we can snorkel in one
of the islands. The ride from the dock to the islands is around 30mins. Apparently, there are only 3 islands that are open to the public. The Governor's Island, Children's Island and Quezon Island. We first went to Governor's Island. There's a P20 entrance fee per head but this will allow you entry to all of the islands already, just keep the receipt. While we're paying for the entrance fee we were joking with the locals why it was named Governor's Island. We joked if the governor was there but they answered seriously that their mayor was there at the island...Mayor Nani Braganza hahaha. They told us to go up the view deck because there you can have a spectacular view of the Hundred Islands. You have to take 123 steps up the mountain to reach the veiw deck. And manong was right, the view was spectacular. Although we were a bit tired and sweaty when we got there, it was worth it. It was breathtaking!


Look at that view

We're the queens of the world!!!

Kunyari mga models

At the view deck, we saw a beach on one of the islands. We later found out that it was called Virgin Island. We weren't able to go there since Mang Rudy told us that the sand was rough on that island. We went to Romulo Island instead. According to Mang Rudy, this was the island were Marina was shot. Cool huh? I felt like a mermaid when we swam there haha!


The view from Romulo Island


Feeling mga sirena

Tampisawan sa Romulo Island

Pwede na bang cover girls ng FHM? hahaha

After Romulo, we went to Quezon Island. But before we went there we passed by Children's Island, Marcos Island (which mang Rudy told us was renamed Rated K Island because Korina Sanchezshot one of her episodes there) and Papaya Island. Marcos and Papaya Islands are not open to public, that is, there are no huts to stay in but the tourists can put up tents of their own and stay overnight. When we got to Quezon Island, Mang Rudy left us there coz he has another group that he has to fetch and return to the dock. But that's entirely okay with us. Quezon island was connected to another island with a bridge. And guess what that island was called...Rated K island. So Marcos and Rated K island were two different islands. Mang Rudy was pulling our legs all the while haha. Since Mang Rudy left us at the island he came back a little bit late. But that was okay since we were able to witness the sunset at Quezon Island.

Camwhoring at Quezon Island

The bridge going to Rated K Island

Papaya Island at our background. Yukong yuko kami ni Shawie di naman pala nakazoom sa min.

Huwaw!

We were so hungry when we got back so we went to the resto near our hotel. But they were so busy with their guests from Baguio that they didn't even bother to get our orders. Hmp! It's their loss not ours! So we just went to eat at a carinderia in the small shopping area near the dock. The food was cheaper and the service was excellent.

We were spent for the day. When we got to the hotel and after we all took a bath, we were all tired we were only able to drink a glass each of Reyna's concoction of Sprite and vodka. Too bad we weren't able to stay up that late since the topic of conversation was platonic relationship - does it really exist? I won't make kwento about that because I think that topic is worthy of another separate post. Anyway, all of us were already asleep by 1am. We woke up pretty late the next day so we weren't able to go back to the islands. Hundred Islands is worthy of a three-day, two-night trip. There were a lot of islands that we weren't able to go to. And you can stay in an island for one whole day if you want. We were just at the islands for a few hours. Oh well, I can always go back. To Sharon, Sheryl, Cristina and Reyna, it was one helluva vacation! Lots of things were revealed. Heck! I thought I was spared of all that revelation but no, even if we're at the bus going home already Reyna had to ask that crucial question hehe. Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again next year. With all our schedules, it's really hard to make plans. Sana it's just like in college when it was easy to plan a trip. Those were the days...Kakamiss din mga kabaliwan nyo. One last evidence kung gano tayo kabaliw...

Sa Piling Mo

Pakshet! Ang ganda ng episode ng Sa Piling Mo ngayon. Naiyak ako chevers! I cried...again! But not the way I cried on its pilot episode. I think I cried half-way through the pilot. After Adrian, Piolo's character, was left by his mother I was crying my heart out up until the final credits. I so love the story of this teleserye. I'm not a fan of the Juday-Piolo loveteam. Well I was able to watch two of their movies but that because of Piolo but I'm not really a fan. But right after I watched Sa Piling Mo's teaser before it was shown on tv I fell in love with it. Teaser palang naiyak na ko noh.

It's a tragic story of Adrian and Jennifer, character of Judy Ann, who are childhood sweethearts. (Tragic story based on tonight's episode. Can I still hope for a happy ending?) Adrian's mom left him because he was blind while Jennifer's mom was killed. They found a shoulder to cry on with each other. They grew up, they fell in love. But the moment they came to Manila(to have an operation on Adrian's eyes) they were separated. Like what Adrian's mother did to him, Jennifer left him at the train station...or so he thought. Jennifer was captured by Mayor who became her enemy because of cockfighting and was sent to jail. Adrian on the other hand was cared for by a lady who he bumped into while wandering the streets of Manila.

A congressman helped Jennifer to get out of jail. The same congressman had a son, Benicio, who later on helped Jennifer to change her name and background to get away from Mayor. While all this was happening, Jennifer gave birth to her and Adrian's son whom Adrian knows nothing about. Jennifer started her new life as Katherine. At ibinaon, literally, sa limot si Jennifer.

Adrian while staying with the lady found a job but was hit by a car being driven by Nicole. Nicole helped with his hospital bills and later on became a friend. She also offered to help Adrian in his eye operation. When finally he can see he went back to their hometown to find out what happened to Jennifer only to be told that Jennifer was dead. He moved on with his life knowing that Jennifer is already dead.

After years of separation, Adrian and Katherine cross paths again because Benicio bought an azukarera. And the conflict begins! What's sad is Jennifer does not want to tell Adrian who she really is, even when Adrian begins to doubt that Katherine and Jennifer are the same person. She feels that they will hurt the people around them, especially that Adrian and Nicole are already planning their wedding. She doesnt want to be selfish and tell Adrian that she is in fact Jennifer. Isn't that sad?

With what they've been through, Jennifer with Benicio and Adrian with Nicole, it really is hard to hurt the other person. It would be really unfair for Benicio and Nicole because they did nothing bad (well, Benicio sort of did once but he undid it) but love Jennifer and Adrian respectively. Sabi nga ni Ninong Al, 'Walang may kasalanan sa inyo, nagmahal lang kayong lahat.' Waaahhhh!!!

Tonight Katherine pretending to be Jennifer(but she's really Jennifer) told Adrian that she's letting him go and that she wants him to be happy even if it's with someone else... kahit na sa piling ng iba. =,( Sadness! Ayaw pa kasi umamin e! Mega-tanggi talaga! In this situation, how can you say that love is fair in love (and war)? Ano pa kayang susunod na mangyayari? Will they still be together? I'm thinking the only way to justify a happy ending with Adrian and Jennifer is if Benicio and Nicole will both die. Or they will just opt for an ending with Jennifer ending up with Benecio and Adrian with Nicole. What would it be? Stay tuned. Watch Sa Piling Mo every weeknights after Gulong ng Palad.

These are my confessions

I wasn't able to hear mass last Sunday. So I have to go to confession for me to be able to take the communion during mass.

I always have this fear of going to confession. I feel agitated before the actual rite. I'm like a child who's about to be scolded by her parents for breaking the big vase in the living room. It's like I have a heavy rock on top of my chest. I am ashamed of my sins. When I prepare my self for confession I list down my sins. I have a prayerbook that has a list of questions on what you have to ask yourself before confession. And I always find myself repeating the same sins I confessed the last time. Shame on me! But as the priest tells us..God is merciful. As long as I am truthfully repenting for my sins then I will be forgiven. Although I go through this almost-anxiety-attack before confession, I can't wait to have that clean feeling after...that time when I feel that I am ready to die because all my sins are forgiven.

I sure hope there's confession after the mass tonight. I don't want to go throught this 'anxiety attack' again if I postpone this.

Natatawa ako hihihihi...sayo!



Saving grace ngayong araw! Hahahaha Salamat SD sis! Napatawa mo ko! Ay nde muntik pala kong masuka pero natawa talaga ko bago bumaliktad yung sikmura ko. Bwahahahahahaha! *rolling in laughter* Note to self: figure out how I can put smileys here para di puro hehehe at hahaha ang nilalagay ko.

What's with today?

Ano nga ba ang meron sa araw na ito? Wala akong ka-drive drive sa araw na 'to. Gusto ko lang lumipas ng mabilis na mabilis ang araw, makauwi, matulog at gumising na lang ulit bukas. Ano bang meron? Kaninang umaga pa ko malungkot :( At times like this I miss my former officemates and friends. Yung tipong mag-aayaan lang kayo after office na kumain sa labas o kaya mag-chika break lang kayo from work tas ok na yung pakiramdam mo. Haaayyy... There's something wrong talaga. Di ko alam kung ano. Natatamad na kong mag-gym. Kaso pag di naman ako mag-gym ano naman ang gagawin ko. Uuwi lang ako? Wala din naman akong gagawin sa bahay. Di ko mapapanood yung bago kong Friends DVD (thanks to Rhoda for that!) dahil sira yung player namin. Kaso naiisip ko parang wala naman akong energy na mag-gym ngayon. Hanuba! Gulo ng isip ko!

Faith in God

Lord, forgive my small concept of Your heart
For the doubting suspicion
With which I regard Your love.
Give me Your faith, I have so little
Yet I have more faith-
In strangers whom I do not know.
I am so reluctant to have faith in You
Who knows me altogether.
I seem to always find a complicated way
Forgetting You have a plan
And I refuse to follow it.
So many of my troubles I bring on myself.
Give me faith to deposit in Your Bank of Love
So that I may receive
The dividends and interest
That You are willing to give me. Amen
