oozing with sooo much pride!

hoy! pinoy ako! buo aking loob.. yeah!

this one is absolutely my thing!.. actually, tagal na nito pero ngayon ko lang naisipang i-share. This is a website intended for every true-blue-Pinoy-fanatics. I, myself, is sooo proud to be PINOY.. the blood that runs through my veins shows that I will always be happy that i beLong in this heritage. In this site, I had the chance to express my being Filipino in a positive way along with my fellow countrymen.. Sounds like "makabayan" di ba? But as I read all the testimonials of every Yabang Pinoy, I can't help but be overwhelmed and amazed at how these people truly appreciate their race.. This is an eye-opener for me that despite all the controversies and challenges Filipinos are facing, they stand still and continue moving forward to reach the realization of their dreams..I am also like that! That's why I can boastfully say that I also beLong in this YABANG PINOY community.. :)

ok, you might say "dugh, after all these economic breakdown we're experiencing, you're still proud to be one?!".. actually, natanong na rin sa akin ng prof ko yan dati nung ginawa kong topic sa speech ko yung pagiging "proud pinoy," hindi ko raw ba naisip yung mga nagbabadyang panibagong edsa revolution, yun nga how the economy sucks.. but, i know all of that, i am totally aware kasi nga hangga't may pagkakataon ako eh nanonood naman talaga ako ng mga balita, nagbabasa ng diyaryo and i truly involve myself to whatever na nangyayari dito sa bansa.. still, i can proudly say i love being pinoy, every single bit of my race, i appreciate it! why? dahiL ang kabataang pinoy ang isa sa mga pinakamagagaling sa mundo, pinaka-astig and well, the best! :)

may i list down the negativity i notice or i observed here in the country?

• abusado people - yes, marami nito sa atin.. but tayo bilang mga responsable at matalinong pilipino, mang-aabuso rin ba tayo?
• the damned government - alright, hindi lang ang gobyerno natin ang damned.. mas marami pa!
• corrupt officials, and a bit in US - lahat naman halos ng pilipino corrupt eh, i'm guiLty!! hindi lang sa pera, pati sa oras ng pagpasok sa office AT yung productivity ng oras natin bilang mga empleyado.. anybody's guilty!
• crab mentality - as in.. ako talaga may pagka-talangka talaga utak ko paminsan-minsan and i know it's bad! why can't we be just happy enough sa success ng ibang tao di ba? pero isa yan sa mga unique characteristics ng mga pinoy! tsk..tsk
• that famous FILIPINO time! - haha, i'm sooo gulity of that! grabe.. enough said, almost everyone's guilty!
.. and still many more!!

how about our pride of being a true-blue-PINOY?

• our close family ties - sobra.. pag sinabing pinoy, pamiLya ang priority ng bawat isa. Kaya nga minsan nagagawa ng mga pinoy yung negativity mentioned above is because of our strong love towards our family.. we celebrate the reunion of the family every holidays and everyday ang celebration with soo much food, warmth, and love! Kaya nga wala pa ring makakatalo sa Pasko sa Pinas eh!
• pagiging magalang - we are! i have so many experiences na nagpapatunay na kahit sino pang pinaka-garapal na pinoy may itinatago pa ring paggalang to a certain people or thing. our neighbor countries can't practice this kind of values eh pero tayo maaga pa lang pina-practice na natin kaya as we grow older, everything's becoming alright..
• our loving spirit - "ibang magmahal ang pinoy" as the goldilocks tagline goes.. agree? i am definiteLy! :) kasi ginagawa natin ang maraming bagay mapasaya lang yung mga taong mahal natin kasi baduy mang pakinggan, sila yung kaligayahan natin :) kaya buhos na buhos tayo sa pagmamahaL.. hehe! funny but true!
• resiliency - such a strong word, na bagay na bagay naman sa ating pagiging pinoy.. ako i truly believe na Filipinos are among the most resilient and strongest people in the world. Patunay diyan ang ating mga makabagong bayani o OFW's na nagpapakahirap sa ibang bansa, all in the name of love for our family and the drive to succeed in life, and reach the highest of our ambitions.. diyan, for me, pinaka-astig ang pinoy!
• hospitality - we practice that in our home.. pride ng bansa natin yan!
• underground river - our official entry to the NEW 7 WONDERS OF NATURE and no. 1 in rank all over the world, although wala pang finality pero sana makapasok. :)
• my province, PALAWAN! - the serenity and peacefulness of this place will always be no. 1 in the hearts of every Palaweño
• the likes of henry sy, lucio tan, john gokongwei - ok, hindi man natin sila kilala sa personal pero yung na-contribute nila dito sa bansa natin, nakakatuwa at nakaka-inspire na gayahin.. the way they excell in their endeavor, grabe! yun lang ang masasabi ko, grabe! :)
• gma-7.. ok, abscbn - nakaka-proud din naman talaga yung contribution nila sa bansa natin, di ba? not to mention the awards they are reaping at ang patuloy na pagkilala ng ibang bansa sa napakaraming talents dito sa atin.. hindi matatawaran yun! i'm a fan of television, at nakakatuwa na yung continued search nila for excellence ay dun pa din.. ang galing! basta.. :)
• the likes of lea salonga, charice, arnel pineda, apl de ap, vanessa hudgens, nicole (pussycat dolls)- .. and manny more!
• manny pacquiao - need i say more?!
.. at maraming-marami pa ring iba!

my point? Iba-iba ang weaknesses and strengths natin but it all boils down to the fact that we fiLipinos are good or best in our chosen field because we give our hearts in everything we do.. we fail, we got lost, but we are standing.. we face everything that's thrown upon us. This entry of mine may be one sided but let me borrow a line or two from Sarah Geronimo's character:
" magtiwala na lang kasi tayo sa goodness!" :) because in the heart of many fiLipinos, marami tayo niyan!

"ANO ANG MAIPAGMAMALAKI MO BILANG ISANG PILIPINO?"

a question from the yabang pinoy site.. some of my favorite persons, i quoted their answers:

here's my version:

"_ipinagmamalaki kong ako ay Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa.. Hindi lamang dahil matitiyaga at magagaling ang mga Pilipino kung hindi dahil ang mga Pilipino ay may malalaking puso. Hindi sila napapagod sa pagbibigay ng pagmamahal lalo na sa kanilang pamilya.. isa pa, hindi marunong sumuko ang mga Pilipino kahit nahaharap sa napakaraming pagsubok at paghihirap sa buhay, pilit na nilalabanan ang lahat ng dagok na dinaranas.. marami mang pagkukulang at hindi magandang kaugalian ang mga pilipino, hindi nagiging hadlang yun sa pagnanais ng mga pilipino na mabigyan ng maayos na buhay ang kanilang pamilya, at hindi nawawala ang pananalig sa Diyos.. apakan man o hamakin ang pagkatao ng mga pilipino, babangon at babangon pa rin sila upang ipagtanggol ang kanilang dignidad, buhay, kalayaan, at pagkatao..

MABUHAY ANG PINOY!!"

- my favorite persons, yabang pinoy din siLa! :)

trivia trivia!!

ang sagisag ng bansa natin or the LOGO, ito ang kahulugan: promise, trivia talaga to! i read it from Grade 6 HEKASI book :)

ang lion daw sa right side symbolizes the influence of Spain to our country.. ang tagal nating naging bihag ng mga espanyol di ba? then yung nakabukang agila naman daw symbolizes the influence of US to us. Yung araw naman simbolo ng hangarin nating maging malaya, ang tatlong bituin, of course ay ang Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao ( yun lang yung alam ko! :p ) at ang salitang "Republika ng Pilipinas" ay nangangahulugang ang bansang Pilipinas ay mayroong kalayaan at soberanya o kapangyarihan na iginagalang ng ibang bansa.

sana may natutunan tayo sa mga trivia na ito.. :) so that when we see the seal, we'll be prouder and happy that after all these years, we are now free, sovereign, at iginagalang din ng ibang bansa..

a thoughtful entry from a HAPPY & PROUD pinoy! :)

my different levels of thinking..

aka nonesense thoughts as a loner.. :)

another heartbreaking day for me. :( i never really had a happy, satisfied v-day but i thought in my 19 years of celebrating the big V day, highschool celebrations are the most memorable! will post all about that in my february ish. :) can't wait!

i read somewhere in shine from yahoo!
hmm.. some chinese astrology that says, those who were born on year of the snake will likely be more lucky, or this 2009 will be a favorable year for us ( me included!) although i believe we don't have to rely on these astrology or hula chuva but then parang nakaka-inspire lang din malaman na kahit papano eh magiging lucky kami this year.. and so far, masaya naman kaming magkaka-batch at lagi kaming nagba-bond.. sana nga 79% best moments for this year! 10 favorable and just 2 neutral months (not unfavorable ha?) cheers to a happy year!

kong hei fat choi
speaking of chinese astrology, happy chinese new year!! may nagpa-fireworks dito sa amin banda and as usual, pinanood ko kasi i'm returning to being 10-year-old-kid, mesmerized by all the different kind of lights. :)

a-heart-warming-girl-talks-with-my-bestfriends-minus-1
i love our series of mature (and morbid) talks yesterday.. we went on a deeper thoughts sharing and we discover so many abyss-like things to everyone of us. this kind of activity is one of my most loved and treasured moments with my friends. as i have always said here in my blog, it's not the usual thing for me. thanks to everyone who really make efforts to reach out to each other once more, unlike last year na talagang kanya-kanya kami. ( i'm soo guilty of it ) of course, eveb is one of the glue that stick this friendship of ours more tight. thank you to jan. 01, 09 moment of ours for the sunod-sunod bonding! :) kahit anong mangyari, hinding-hindi namin ipagpapalit ang friendship na ito sa kahit anong bagay o sinong tao. we brought out both positive and negative sides of everyone and still accepts each one. another chreelcafe-ish entry!

share ko lang, last saturday night, we had full blast of fun again together with my other batchmates and we slept around 3 in the morning, and the next day, sunday, kami na lang natira, natuwa ako sa mga posisyon namin sa pagtulog, kasi nakatulog kami uli ng di namin namamalayan, 3 kami ni pv, at rea sa baba, si jingjing, sa taas ng matigas na couch. :) nakagising lang ako kasi ginising na ako ng mga sisters ko and i saw the jealousy in their eyes for me having such faithful and endearing friendships! hehe. then came sunday afternoon, after ng church, hindi pa sila nakauwi and supposed to be uuwi na rin sila when we sat at bed, and start the heart and body talks that lasts forever until i dozed off to sleep once again with no inhibition at all at napagaya na din sila! yung kuwentuhan, napunta sa tulugan.. ayus! :p

i will post some pictures of this get-together again soon plus i will also share what we have talked about together especially the most complicated word in our world which is, L-O-V-E! weeh. :p

then came my pamangkin "bongmin"
one of my favorite, naku pinanggigigilan ako palagi at kinukurot ang mukha ko.. gosh, ang sakit! kainis ha but i'm more matured now. di na ako pumapatol sa bata.. :) hehe. dati talagang i admit pumapatol ako sa mga 3-6 year olds bully or bratty.. pinasyal namin yung bata sa aming famous baywalk.. again! but anyway, the place is amazingly peaceful and more beautiful in daylight but stunning at nighttime. :) a very, tiring and loong day so maaga akong nakatulog.. a very good night sleep. :) anyway, we've met with some of our old neighborhhod yesterday at na-amaze sila sa akin kasi ang laki ko raw! nalalakihan sila sa akin?! i still wanne be taller pa nga eh! ang weird but it's fun meeting good ol' friends! :)

my desperate attempt to being so into photography (aka trying hard, pathetic, booboo photographer!) :0 .. sheesh! kelan kaya ako magkaka-camera ng sony cybershot?!.. hayy

i'm so water and tissue girL!

i really don't know how to live comfortably without my minute-by-minute dose of a glass of water plus hundreds of rolls of tissue for whatever! mahilig kasi ako kumain dito sa office pero makalat ako kumain eh kaya kelangan maya-maya ang tissue. thank, GoD for this easy comfort! hindi talaga buo ang araw ko without bonding with these two stuffs. :)

my office/home/literal house. :)

this is a peek of my working place, and my house, my kitchen. :) dito ako kumakain, umiinom ng kape.. notice the mug? it's either tubig o coffee! dito kami gumagawa ng sandwich/pizza. ang cool at ang hilig kasi sa pagkain ng manager namin eh! the one with the bob cut hair?! whatever. :p kaya nadadamay kami sa coolness niya. it was such a nice working environment wag lang puntahan ng mga asungot o di kaya umatake yung pagiging maldita ko o katamaran ko sa work. :)

finally!
why can't i wake up with that perfect feeling of contentedness with my physical look, health, and feeling? ok na yung social life ko eh, even my career, bakit bumabalik na naman siya? yung mga scars na nananakot sa akin.. sana naman wag na, grabe na yung blow at change na nagawa sa akin ng mga scars na ito to the point na parang mawawalan na naman ako ng confidence sa sarili ko. wag naman na sana. please let this be a cool year for me.. and for us, pleasE?!

anyway, ala paredes rocks! :

ok.. it was nice, being free to your emotions and thoughts. happy blogging and goodnight everyone! :)

it's our payday today and i'm supposed to be happy and ecstatic, right?! but why am i feeling this way?.. maybe it goes to my being unsatisfied with the pay i get for this time but it's ok, because as i ponder on the blessings i received, i'm totally lucky! :)

the lists

anyway, i had some situations faced today that had made me think and reflect in my own life. so i came to these lists, the lists i realized just today.. actually, i already wrote something like this in my previous posts and i must say it's just a continuation..

what/who pisses me off! :

1 - as an employee in a "purely business" business, i started to notice that there are too many injustices in this real world. naiirita ako talaga dun sa mga kliyente namin na laging humihingi ng discount kahit na ang gagara ng mga kotse nilang dala, tatlo ang hawak na cellphone, may mga high tech na gamit, not to mention na ang kakapal ng laman ng wallet. ^o^ kung sino pa yung mayayaman sila pa itong nang-aabuso. talk about some connections! my gosh..

2 - dito pa rin sa office, nakakairita yung mga kliyente na porke mayayaman (kuno) sila o di kaya kilala nila yung boss ko eh uutus-utusan na ako na akala mo sila nagpapakain sa akin, at ang yayabang pa nilang magpa-rush ng mga ginagawa nila. don't they know the policy, "first come, first served"?! talk about demandingness! dugh..

3 - still here in our office situation.. nakakinis din yung mga tao na hindi marunong maghanda! bukas na pala ang birthday/wedding at 8-9am ang event tapos magpapagawa ng mga birthday/wedding stuffs ngayon araw lang at magku-close na kami!! grrr.. that's really one of my most hated part!. ok ok, i can't say na hindi rin ako ganun.. yes, nagka-cram din naman ako and i'm always late but still, i don't demand! eh kasi naman yung ibang tao sila na nga nakaka-abala, sila pa yung grabe magdemand! naku naman talaga..

4 - mga tugtuging '70s or worse, '50s! pinapatugtog ng 9 in the morning.. tama ba yon?! i wanted naman sana na simulan yung araw ko na cheerful, sunny, happy and alive pero naman! the music is sooo DUGH!! how much more annoying pag mga 1pm-3pm na sobrang tough hours sa may batang katawan at isip na tulad ko! :p itong mga oras kasi na ito nakakatuksong umuwi sa bahay, magkulong sa kuwarto, and succumb yourself to a heavenly sleep.. but, of course, as a real professional myself i won't do that! well, honestly sometimes i do.. :) hehe. but my point here is that the music greatly affects my mood pero pag mga elvis presley, michael bolton, or westlife (yes, westlife man!!) naman talaga ang background music.. naku, goodluck to me and to everybody! although i like them naman but then, office hours is not the proper time or place for their music db?.. any beyonce or britney songs there?! :p

5 - plagiarism, it's such a wide word but it all goes down to a certain thing: gaya gaya.. i hate it when someone's making gaya gaya to me. my choice of music, movies, icons, artworks, fashion (asus! fashion daw! as if.. :p) even mga ginagawa ko. oo, nakaka-flatter pero nakakainis nga rin pala talaga.. kasi ako, i'm quiet selfish between my territory. kunwari ako ang naunang nagkagusto dito, ayoko nang may manggagaya pa.. weird but it's true! ok, i admit i also did some plagiarism in my life like in my research studies, sa sarili kong website, even sa mga journals ko lang or pati dito sa blogspot ko but then, as i read the works i did which is copy paste, i really felt so stupid for doing that! it's yikes.. nakakahiya na parang wala akong originality.. and hopefully di na ako mag-copy paste someday. although i do admit kumukuha ako ng inspiration kay miss bianca kasi nga i often state here in my blog that she's an inspiration to me, an icon.. but i'll try my very best to be original.. :) pero sana yung mga gaya gaya eh maisip din nila how stupid really it is to copy someone else's styles and choices.. hmm

- sorry for being bitchy in this entry but i just felt that i badly have to share these things that annoys me and state my piece.. PEACE!! :)

what i admire most.. :)

ok, it's a breather from all the "kamalditahan" entry above.. :) just want to share some inspirations i faced just this day and beyond this day..

1 - sa tesda gaganda ang buhay mo!
i am a proud scholar of TESDA ( Technical Education and Skills Development Authority ) sobrang laki ng naitulong nito sa college education ko and until now i am happy to see that their advocacy to support technical education here in the country is still very much alive, and burning.. technical education is very helpful sa mga pilipinong gustong mag-abroad, o gustong mag-aral pero walang sapat na pera at kakayahang kumuha ng BS Courses. at least through tesda, maraming less fortunate ang nakakatuntong ng pag-aaral.. given the opportunity and perfect timing, i would be too willing to uphold the technical education here in the Philippines and the general education as well.. yeah, DEPED Representative, why not?! :)

2 - it's still deals with education of youngsters.. kanina, may nagpagawa sa amin na mga estudyanteng college. since hindi pa naka-layout yung pinapagawa nila, may dagdag na charge which is nakadagdag pa ng gastos.. my point here is that i always admire people, young people na may drive to learn and eventually to succeed in life, especially those na walang kakayahang mag-aral because of financial problems.. itong mga taong to ang dapat hangaan at gayahin. i may add this sentiment to what pisses me off pero wag na dito na lang.. :p naiinis din naman talaga ako dun sa mga walang kuwentang anak na pinapag-aral na nga, eh ewan at anong pumapasok na mga ulo nila at kung anu-anong nagagawa sa buhay! ok,

case a - na-inlove, nabuntis, sira ang pag-aaraL.

case b - masyadong na-excite maging independent, malayo sa mga magulang, gabi-gabi lumalabas, gimmick and everything.. hindi namalayan, 5 na ang grade na ibinigay ng mga prof pero fully paid na ang tuition fee.. tsk tsk

case c - masarap sa pakiramdam ang maging sikat not to mention having nice rides plus a beeeaaautiful girlfriend to parade with, kakapa-pogi points, nauubos ang pera at hihingi sa magulang na nagkakandahirap maghanap-buhay para mapadalhan lang ng pera ang anak para pambili ng hightech na cellphone dahil kelangan sa isang subject, at pambili pa ng laptop kasi requirements chuva! hayy.. these kids!!

case d - "nay, tay, ang boring ng klase kasi ang haaabaa ng lecture, tapos mas magaling naman ako sa prof ko kaya di-n-rop ko na yung subject.. take ko na lang yun sa summer.." yeah yeah! pathetic losers! at yung mga kawawang parents naniwala naman kasi para lalong ma-inspire yung mga anak nila sa pag-aaral, lahat ng support na kailangan nila dapat ibigay..

truly, the world is so unfair.. yung mga gustong gusto mag-aral, walang kakayahan na i-take yung courses na gusto nila.. yung merong lahat ng opportunity in the world na makapag-aral, mas gustong maging BUM.. pero alam niyo yung pinaka-nakakainis sa lahat nang to?! yung mga anak na patuloy na ginagapang ng magulang yung pag-aaral nila for them to have a better future at para maiba naman ang buhay but what are they doing?! maagang nagsipag-asawahan dahil katwiran nila, ganun din naman daw ang magiging future nila so why prolong the hardship, right? but hell, they're wrong! don't they want to make any difference in this world or in their lives?!

buti na lang i grew up with the right amount of full/much care and advises and shortage/less luxuries kasi i became the right mix of person din.. hindi ako nasanay sa luho pero mas nag-invest yung mga magulang ko sa more lasting treasure and that's education.. education is much, much important because as i've said here in my blog right after i graduated in college that school life is really cool and fun! it taught me lots of things at naging matalino ako sa napakaraming bagay dahil sa edukasyon na natanggap ko. of course nothing can beat experiences sa pagiging wise but through schooling ko na-experience ang napakarami ding bagay na nagpatalino at nagpatatag sa akin.. :) so cheesy but true!

i know my knowledge is still not enough para sabihing wise and matured na ako but i can be rest assured na i know that there is more to learn in this life and i'm more willing to explore it! someday, i hope i can return to school and take my dream course and hopefully again, land my dream job.. :) hanggang ngayon kasi di ko pa rin ma-target ang dream job ko kung ano ba yun kasi ang dami kong gustong gawin at maging!

3 - my mommy, she came here to us ( her kids na nasa city :p) para bumisita at magpasalamin na din.. that's one of my gifts to her.. :) well, as i've said i admire her being toughness all throughout my life, our lives.. sure, there are tough and rough times but still nothing can beat her spirit! that's the reason why all of us esp. me has decided na magpaka-tough na din to whatever trials or challenges i am facing. hindi naman sa bawal umiyak sa amin pero kasi as i grew up, nakikita ko na pag may problema, hindi umiiyak mommy ko.. instead, she's thinking of solutions agad to solve the problems.. i wanna be like that! i also admire her how she has raised us all 7 kids na maayos naman ang buhay at pag-iisip! :) one of the things i like about her also is because in every little thing na naa-achieve naming mga anak niya eh sobrang proud na siya agad to the point na kami na lang ang nahihiya kasi ipinagkakalat niya pa sa kapit-bahay! :) honestly, we really took comfort in our home kaya talagang gusto ng bawat isa na umuwi palagi sa bahay namin kasi we know na we are loved there and taken cared of.. kahit na madalas may failure kami, iba pa rin ang pagmamahal ng isang ina.. :)

4 - superbianca.blogspot.com , ok i know! i'm exaggerating na kasi every post ko ata siya na naman.. pero anong magagawa ko? sana lang mangyari sa lifetime ko na ma-meet at makilala ko talaga siya personally.. enough, almost everyone who knew me already knew that! :) waahh.. wala lang talaga, everytime na nadi-depress ako tapos binabasa ko yung blog niya, there is this inner peace na nangyayari agad sa akin.. alam mo yun, i don't know, maybe it's her intellectual traits, her creativity as a philo wannabe?! :) basta, ang astig astig niya talaga sa akin! to the point na yun nga, puwede na akong makasuhan ng "plagiarism" sa kakagaya ng mga expressions niya and the way she present her blog and her blog pati mga advocacies niya gusto ko ring gayahin.. tsk tsk! so chaka! :)
to you bianca monica, see you soon!! :)

what/who i love..

britney is so cool and cute!! yeah, welcome back to her ng bonggang bongga!! tagal na nito pero ganda talaga ng bago niyang album (as if may copy na ako. hehe) saulo ko na nga agad eh.. her comeback still brought me back to my grade school days wherein sobrang sikat niya talaga at an icon for all of us, me and my friends! grabe, every single at album niya na lumabas, inaabangan ko sa mtv.. at lahat ng concert niya sa CD, pinapanood namin kahit pirated pa yan! :) welcome back, brit-bit!
beyonce is sooo divalicious! grabe, astig niya talaga.. kumilos siya, kumanta, sumayaw, divang-diva talaga! i simply like her.. that's all. haha
rihanna. as always, rihannahoLic pa rin ako hanggang ngayon! i still can't get over that "disturbia" thing.. :) yeah, rock on!!
taylor. the country princess is, okay, a princess.. ganun pala yung country genre. sabagay kahit si carrie at faith hill gusto ko mga kanta nila. i really like taylor swift! nakaka-relate ako sa mga kanta niya, typical love songs ng teenager. galing niya!
kYLA! ok, another princess to go! i really like how she has grown up to be a beautiful and soulful rnb diva. :) napaka-soothing ng boses niya, nakaka-inspire pag naririnig ko mga kanta niya.
eraserheads. eheads fans, unitteee!! kung nasa manila lang siguro ako naku i will also be part of that another historical reunion concert.. sa march na!! i'm excited! you go, fab 4! :)
pep. thank you much pep! certified pepster. :)
magazines. my plenty of magazines.. thank you for the knowledge, kahit para sa iba walang kuwenta, sa akin it means a little lot. hehe! sheessh.

my little collections of happiness. :)

on a side note, sa araw-araw kong pagpasok dito sa opisina namin, bakit araw-araw din akong nakakarinig ng tunog ng ambulasiya o kung hindi man, tunog ng sasakyan ng bombero which signifies "tunog ng sunog for me".. it's crazy and it's weird! nakakatakot naman dito sa puerto..malapit na ba talagang magunaw ang mundo? :p

anyway to end this extremely, looong post.. here's a thought to keep with my favorite bianca and me on it. :)

another weekender with my besties!.. :)

last week was a lot of fun for all of us, chreelcafe. it was amazing because as far as we have remembered, that was our first time being together almost the whole week just bumming, eating, talking, and sleeping together na buo kami and without hassle. i think our last togetherness was when we were still in third year high school. that's way, way back pa talaga! and being together for almost a week, we realized so many things.. and we reminisce our past as friends and while doing that, we've come up to so many realizations..

• we can't change anyone of us. all of us have fair share of shady characters and that's why we clicked because of that.
• i guess, ang magagawa na lang namin is mag-adjust kami sa pag-uugali ng bawat isa which is ginagawa naman namin as best as we couLd..!
• we also have different strengths but almost the same weaknesses. there is a certain thing that only one chreelcafe can do best that's also the reason why everyone's special.. :)
• last jan. 17 (saturday), was the first time na nagkatabi-tabi na naman kaming 5 sa isang higaan na kami lang talaga at wala nang iba pang asungot.. :) kasi madalas kaming mag-sleepover pero kulang kami and may ibang katabi yung iba :) tapos marami pang ibang kasama and truly, na-appreciate namin yung togetherness na yun, we talked, watched movies, laughed and screamed (kasi horror yung pinanood namin) and that's until 2 in the morning! whew..
• killjoy nga si febie.. :)
• demanding si tagak.. :)
• si jing2 mahiLig sa lalake at textmate.. :)
• ..but all we have to do is accept and love each other!
• hindi pa rin kami nagsasawa sa isa't isa
• lasting pa rin yung friendship namin, yung ibang friends kasi nagkalimutan na lang agad
• we're all beautiful in our own different ways.. :)

anyways, di niyo pa nakikilala silang lahat so let me introduce to you the bunch of my little besties..
here we go!

it was the perfect weekend last week starting this new year! :)

a perfect, cool way to start the week with the best girLs! :)

We started the new year with a blast and being together [chreelcafe teens], so does that mean we will be spending almost the entire 2009 together bonding/having fun/gimmicking all the night?! Whoah! Sounds exciting but disturbing.. :) knowing the energies of each and everyone! It will cause total disaster but i know it will be worth the time, the energy and all the efforts!

010909 - FRIDAY, 7pm
roadtrip!
i took a road trip with the two lovers around the city, just bumming around, checking the places i haven't visit for the longest time. i did rounds of shopping :) first to just loosen up! Weeh. and that led to the joy trip in the city.

1st stop: our famous capitol in palawan! :) i stayed there and had some quality talks with carLota (the CA in chreelcafe) then came her boyfriend, neiL (my classmate in college) with his rides so continue the fun!

2nd stop: also the famous baker's hill here in puerto princesa! That's a 20min drive from the city proper. unfortunately,, when we get there, it's already closed.. we had a plan pa naman to eat there. so heartbreaking! dun na nga lang ako nagkaroon ng interes na gumimik pumalpak pa! but well, there's always another time. :) tuloy, our final destination before going home was our own version of baywalk :) we resumed our chikas there and their sweetness as well! what the heack?! but i'm ok, im inspired :) hehe! we went home around 12am and so much for that day.. err night! I must say it's a lovely one..

011109 - SUNDAY, 8pm
another roadtrip
we took another roadtrip and this time, we were successful in entering the baker's hill.. it's an amazing place especially at night! a cozy one, a relaxing place to soothe the broken spirit and wow! broken spirit daw oh! :) hehe.. nag-seesaw lang kami, nagpadulas, sight seeing, and everything! it was a fun night also..

but the highlights for this week!!

the bonding with the girLs!
it all started with the texting and i am amazed that they were all ready to have some fun tonight! sundo-sunduan uli and my first time in sight! si jing2 (the EL in chreELcafe), tumakas sa dorm niya! bongga yung takbuhan namin! :) haha.. grabe, nabuo na naman kami and it's horrible!! weeh. may ganun? masaya na naman kami, start of the week and the year na magkakasama, at naku baka whole year na to! pero ok lang kasi last year we didn't have enough time to be always together dahil sa differences?! whatever.. :) but this year, it's really nice kasi when we're together talaga, nakaka-high ng energy! alam mo yun na parang pag stressed ka, malilimutan mo yun because may be of our wackiness and our funny individualism? hmm.. maybe! :) wala kaming pictures kasi nakalimutan na namin pero hindi na the next night gimmick.. :) we were out in the night til 1am..

Whatta vacation!! and what a way to ceLebrate the New Year!! :)

It was a great time for me and my self to rest and relax from everything about work!! Wow.. I just love the feeling of being able to spend the holidays with my family and friends :) It was a timely vacation for me. Also, it was the best time to just indulge myself to everything I love, like sleeping whole day :), eating everything! :), writing my life in my diary :), reminiscing everything about my past, spending time with friends there which we seldom did, going to the beach!!, get together with our batch from grade school days to high school barkada :), meeting exes! :), bonding with my highschool junks which I love and I miss terribly :), the best time to reflect on my thoughts and actions this 2008, recognizing all the blessings I received for this year and realizing I've been terribly blessed despite all the depressions and disappointments I encountered the past year, plus it's a great time to plan for my 2009 and for my future! :) The vacation recharged me, and strenghtened me to move forward and grab the best of everything LIFE has to offer :)

As the saying goes, "Life is beautiful.." So am I! :) Hehe!

This was how my New Year was spent :)

My "thank you's!".. I am so bLessed! :)
