Just because I love Aleah!


“Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness.” — Lois L. Kaufman
Aleah and I became friends way back in 2nd year high school. This is a lame start but I can not think of any good way as of now.
When I decided to transfer in Baguio, we only have the chance to meet only during summer breaks, my birthdays every august, semestral breaks and christmas breaks. We make sure that we have the time to catch up after long months of not meeting each other. Yes, we communicate through texts but not always since we have other responsibilities.
So yesterday, for the last time since I need to be back in my second home, we met in, never-ending-meeting-place : SM. She went straight to that place after her review for the upcoming Nursing Board Exam this July. I appreciated her effort for seeing me despite her busy day. As usual, we strolled around the mall, enjoyed window shopping and ate in Paotsin. At around 7pm, we decided to haveTanduay Ice in Ikabud. The funny thing is : Sakto lang talaga pera namin for two T.Ice and a FrenchFries. We were so poor!
Yet, I enjoyed being with her. Definitely or better yet, hopefully she felt the same way. We talked about anything-under-the-sun! From choosing the color of a wallet to a desired branded bag to what we’re going to do when landed in a job to having our own families and anything in between.
A great experience which is surely unforgettable!

 
This is Aleah and I. Photo taken in 2009. (We don’t have any photo yesterday. Fail!)
*I’ll make another blog stating all the about our friendship. Maybe, the soonest. Right now, just want to share our last date this vacation.

Dear Feet, I am really sorry!


May 31, 2011 to June 2, 2011 - Back in Baguio after 2 months. (Not for vacation or relaxation, but for the enrollment.)
So enrollment was scheduled on June 1. It was hard for me to wake up early because I want to enjoy the cold breeze in the morning while doing the “fetus position” in my bed. Ohh my. What I mean is, curling-up-in-your-bed-while-covering-yourself-with-that-thick-comforter. Think clean! Haha. Yeah, I should, too!
Anyway, since I have to, I woke up at 7:30am. And if your enrolling in SLU, that’s too late already because you have to suffer all those queues the whole day. Fastforward — I arrived in school at almost 9am. (Yeah, my morning bath was fast. Really fast.) I saw the line for the release of pink forms or the grades and I was like O.O! Since I have no choice but to get mine, I piled the line for more than 1 hour. Thanks to Jinn, Carlo and Mai for the “kwentos” while waiting for my turn. And also Carlo’s. :-) After that, another line was waiting for us. Green Form. The encoding of subjects. Haaaay! Good thing we finished until the printing of our schedules before the lunch break.
We decided to have our lunch in Tokyo Tokyo since we want to have heavy meal. We were all drained down and so we want our energies baaaaaaccckkk! Before we went back to school, we strolled around SM and one of my friends, Mai, brought us to Jellybean because according to her, there are new shoes in that store which are really cute. And I ended up buying a pair. :-| I’m soooo poor now, but I love my new shoes. 
After that mini-shopping (because Jinn and Mai also bought shoes but a different style) we headed back to school for the payment of our fees. And yes, we suffered another long queue.
The title was dedicated to my feet because I unconsciously or unexpectedly abused them. I didn’t anticipated the lines I have to pile in this enrollment. Just because I want to be tall and feel-pretty I wore my wedges. My bad! I’ll never wear wedges or heels during enrollment! Indeed, another torture.
But after that tiring enrollment processes — reunited with some of my friends feels really good.
*Oooopsss, no photos. Not even one, because neither of us had the thought of taking one.

I ♡ Bianca Gonzales!


So I have this twitter account and I follow Ms. Bianca Gonzales. I really am fascinated on the way she tweets every time because of her ideas, sentence constructions and choice of words. Aside from such intelligence, she is definitely beautiful. No need for more elaboration on that because it’s already obvious. Haha. And she has this aura which makes her look wonderful. I also admire her passion for helping children. :-)
Anyway, I came across her blog which has a link in her twitter account profile. So, I’ll share the link —http://www.iamsuperbianca.com. Ohh, and also, follow her on twitter —http://twitter.com/iamsuperbianca. :-) By the way, I love how she uses the word SUPER!
Last night was my chance to read almost all her blogs since I have all the time. Haha. If you’ll notice, she’s been blogging since 2003! Wow! I salute her for that. She keeps it updated except for the year 2006 but she has an explanation for that in one of her blogs. My praises for her went above and beyond as I read. Her humor is really superlative. You will definitely learn from her experiences as well as getting to know more about her. Basically, on how she keeps her life moving towards positivity.
I made this for her because I got inspired by her. She created a post writing to a person hoping that eventually he (I forgot if man or lady. Haha) will read that letter. So now, I’m hoping that one day, she will read this. I promise my self that I will tweet the link to her and hope that she will come across this and read it.
Ms. Bianca, you’re one of my blog’s inspirations. Apologies for crazy thoughts and random stuffs because it’s really hard to express all. I’m not really a writer, just trying to be one. :-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Kung Fu Panda 2


“Anything is possible when you have inner peace.” -Master Shifu
Yesterday, May 27, 2011, my mom and I decided to watch this great animation — Kung Fu Panda 2. :-) We left our house just right after lunch so that we would catch the 2pm showing. The weather was quite fine yesterday. It is so perfect to go out and spend quality time with your loved-ones.
We had our meal at KFC. I had my favorite krushers. Every time I eat at this fast food chain, I never fail to avail one. Its just delicious! And I recommend it so much to everyone.
I remember watching the first Kung Fu Panda alone in 2008. I really love this film. It is made to catch the attention of movie goers in all ages. But now, I enjoyed it more since I’m with my mom. I just can’t explain the feeling being with someone who is always there beside you enjoying stuffs together like watching movies.
Aside from the quote that Master Shifu said in the first part of this, there’s another quote that really caught my attention. It was very difficult to memorize the line and I can not find it also in the net. But somehow, it goes like this : “You may not have a beautiful start but doesn’t define who you are. The only thing that matters is who you choose to be known.”
That line / quote says it all. We should not dwell so much on what challenges or trials we faced in the past. It’s within us on how we deal with these things. It is who we become from those experiences in our lives.

Strawberry Shortcake


I am really fond of cakes or anything related to that. I am sweet-tooth-lady so I definitely enjoy desserts.
An experience about a cake happened when my 13 friends (another group of friends) had our get together and Jhovanie brought one for the group. Since it was my first time to actually know and see that cake I got so fascinated that I can not stop looking the cake while it is on it’s box. I was mesmerized my the fresh strawberries arranged on its top.
This cake is available at Viscoz’ in the Upper Session Road, Baguio City — Strawberry Shortcake. It appears to be very delicious and mouth-watering. I find it hard to describe how it exactly looks so I guess I’m just going to share pictures.
Without the permission of the one who brought the cake, we removed the cake from it’s box. I was with Mai, PJ and Jin at that time.

I looked stupid in this picture. :-)))

It smells so good! Really good!

Presenting to you the royal cake! Excuses from my friend who are trying to pinch and have a taste of it.

At this point, we wanted to slice the cake so that we will be able to taste it and give in to the wants of our taste buds.

We can no longer control ourselves so we sticked our tongue out for the attempt to lick the icing on it’s side. Okay, that was just a joke. :-)
You will not expect it, but unfortunately we were not able to a have a piece of the strawberry shortcake!!! We left the place earlier before they decided to eat it. Sad :-( But at least we enjoyed taking pictures with the very-delicious-mouth-watering-oh-smelling-so-good strawberry shortcake!

The night of March 17, 2011


A time to celebrate. A time to take away all the bad vibes and stresses. A time to cheer. A time to party.
March 17, 2001, last day of the second semester. Last exam day to be exact. Days before the said date, my friends and I decided to take the night out to the next level. (Hahaha!) We planned to meet up in the late afternoon and enjoy the rest of the night and the morning of the next day. We agreed on drinking and partying ‘til we drop. Yes, ‘til all of us will drop!
So the day arrived than we least expect it. (Why does time fly so fast?! :-D) Anyway, the last examination of some of my friends ended at 4pm while mine was 2pm. Yes, I was free 2 hours earlier than them. Hehe. With the other members of our tropa, we waited for them. Spent our time fooling around and doing crazy stuffs in the lobby.
Fast forward. Some of my friends and I traveled to SM Baguio to feed our super hungry stomaches since we cannot remember the last meal we had for the day. I honestly lost track of the time so I cannot actually say what time we had our meal in McDonald’s but definitely it was already late afternoon. Sorry, it’s the only place we can afford at that time since we are saving our money for the night out.
We saw Ma’am Naja together with her lovely daughters in that fast food chain but unfortunately I can not find the pictures we took with them. Apology.

They ate their ultimate favorite McCrispy Chicken Fillet at comes with a 12 oz of Coke and I had my McFlurry Berry thingy. I forgot the exact flavor. (Hahaha!)
After we finished our meal, we stayed for a while in McDonald’s since we are waiting for the texts of our other friends. During this time, we met Mhot, the partner of Sid. It’s partner because they are both biologically males so I guess you already know what I’m trying to point out. It was pleasant meeting him because he is sweet and easy-to-get-along -with.
After that, we went to our tambayan, GPC or Global Pinoy Center. It is where we will meet our other friends. I recommendly suggest people to be a member in this center because you can avail free and unlimited iced tea or coffee and internet. Wi-fi access is also available and you can bring 2 guests anytime you visit the place. It has a peaceful ambiance that everyone will enjoy. The receptionists, which we usually call ate or kuya, are very friendly and very accomodating.

A snapshot of our an hour stay in GPC. We have many pictures while waiting but again, I could not find any. This is the only one I saved.
It was already 8:30 in the evening when we left the place and go to a bar where we could have our drinking session. We got so disappointed since almost all bars are full because I guess every student is celebrating the end of the semester. Luckily, we found Gluttons.

Never mind our faces. (Hahaha!) We had this blue drink, which I forgot the name, (Gosh, why do I always forget things. I fail!) and sisig on the side. We got fooled by the waiter, because he said this tower is equivalent to 4 pitchers but when we noticed it, it was only 2 1/2 pitchers! Since we don’t want to ruin our night, we chose not to make a big deal out of it and just continue enjoying. On the other hand, this drink tasted awesome! :-)
From Gluttons, we moved to Le Azul. It was funny experience going to that place because we hailed a cab to take us to Le Azul but yet we could just only walk because it is very near. (Hahaha!) I guess we are already tipsy during that time that’s why no one recognized that it’s already near.

A collage of our time in Le Azul. We ordered a blue drink again. It tasted so good and as usual I forgot the name of the drink as well as our dish. Tssssss! It was very dark in this place so it was very difficult to see one another or just to take a bite of our food. Anyway, it was where we danced and party hard and got drunken— Bigtime!
We were not contented yet, we moved to our final place : Red Lion Bar. Almost all of us drunk Tanduay Ice this time for washing. And since we are all drunk and our confidence level moved up to nowhere, we invaded the karaoke room. We sang out loud different songs and take turns every time. All of us is talking in their loudest voices and saying to one another “Lasing ka na!” where in fact all of us are. (Hahaha!) I remember myself not being able to put the 5 peso coin in the coin hole because I already do not have a clear vision It was like all I see are turning. We took some pictures in that place but I was not able to keep track of those or I am not sure if anyone uploaded any.
We went home 5 o’clock in the morning. It was a long moment for all of us but we definitely enjoy our time together. In between of all the shots or dances or anything, we talked a lot about personal problems, schools, and random topics. We definitely know more about one another.
Great experience with good friends. This will be repeated — for many times.

Creepy : dark room with the help of the heavy rain outside.


Scared.

Yes, I am.
I can hear the heavy rains pouring outside my room while everybody in this house are fast asleep. There are lightnings and thunderstorms which I don’t like. These makes me feel afraid like they are going to attack me and hurt me eventually. There had been power interruptions a while ago which made me a little more scared. And I am stuck in front of this electronic device where I do what I usually does, killing time checking all my social networks accounts.
Honestly, I am not into rainy season. I feel sad when it rains. It is like all my problems or bad experiences lingers around my head. It kills me reminiscing all those things. I can not really explain or express why I’m feeling that way when it’s raining. Apologizes.
*Rants for this night. I have all these ideas which are really difficult to express. Sorry.

Crazy Behaviors I have...

First day in Abnormal Psychology Class : what we did is after introducing our name, we should share one or two crazy behaviors that we possess; that we can think of, given a 5minutes time.


It was difficult for my part to think since I spent the allotted time laughing when my seatmate shared his crazy behavior. I will not mention his behavior but it was really funny.


I thought of writing and sharing my crazy behaviors and here I am! Hooraaaay!


(in random order)


1. While taking a bath, I turn on the music and sing and dance. I pretend that I have a concert and an audience is watching me.
2. I play memories in my mind and change the lines or words I said before to make the moments better.
3. When having a family dinner somewhere, I make sure that everyone dresses nicely and appropriately.
4. When I didn't buy the things I want, like shoes or bag, I will not be able to sleep. And I wills pend days thinking about those items and get depressed until the day I will be able to buy those.
5. I think too much about unnecessary things or random things.
6. I reminisce during class discussions until I caught myself doing this and go back to listening to my instructor.
7. When I'm alone at home, I walk like a model, I dress up and project in front of the mirror. I imitate faces that I see on the television. 
8. When I like someone, I first check the shoes because I like guys with nice shoes aaaaand the surname, if it fits my name.
9. I enjoy bullying others but I don't like being bullied. Pikon. Hehe.


And the list goes on and on and on. These are a few of my crazy behaviors that I could think of as of now. I may update this post when I think of another. Just maybe.

I don't exist.

8.25 pm. No one asks if I already had my dinner or if I'm already lying in my bed. No one even bothers to asks if I'm still out or if I arrived home safely. No one even wants to know what the hell am I doing this time. That if I die tonight, no one will notice until someone will see me lying peacefully or receive a news via text message about my death.


There are moments in life -- no matter how much you dress up nicely or act appropriately -- when you are alone. And the feeling of being alone. Alone. Unwanted. Worthless. It's not exactly the need of attention but the need to be cared and loved. The need of being with others -- not even physically but psychologically. The need to be wanted. And the need to be important.


As social being, these are achieve if others share these willingly. And this willingness varies on how much you actually "mean" to them.


This time, I want to loss the thought of being alone. I want to know that I am accompanied by others -- whoever. That I exist.
