the one with potchi-chu


dec.22, wednesday at Savarin, Kalayaan. We were shimmering with facepaints and enjoying fluffy cakes and vanity shots of ourselves. ^_~ potch was pretty pink.. there were forensics people and some b7 people too. :)

---I missed them so much. we've been eating our meals together for more than four years now and somehow dining with chu's was like highschool all over again... :) like reccess, only the lassallites (annie, ida & pam) had more gossip about previous batchmates (hay,chismis!) and we were made up to camwhore all night long. :D happy 18th, potchichu! ♥



-chu minus two. geesh.



the one with the pink pastry

*This candle is for you…light it up in the darkest hour and remember that so many people believe in you. Light it up I the coldest night and remember that warmth radiates from within. Light it up when you’re happiest, then close your eyes and make a wish…*
---She was my candle , after all.

Mari's debut~
It was the usual carpooling trio. We arrived at Richmonde at past 7 but as usual it hasn't started yet so chat chat chat...The place was nice and the blue-green scheme worked well. Mari looked pretty:) Missy was hosting again as usual, so it was a night of ad-libing. I missed her a lot. We shared atable with some room 2 people + nix and the twins. Food was great too, but I came home with rashes again. well. :9

"It won't be an easy path - as all rivers have rocks and jagged stones, which you without doubt will soften into pebbles, round and smooth and strong..." ---> thank you. And sorry, if you know what I mean.
Geca and I had such a guilt trip.
Something to look forward to next year: Norah Jones in March :) whee~

the one where I do the mother-packing

I grew in anticipation with the parade coming. (I wished secretly, that the 16th will never come because I shall miss the FA people. so much. )
Tama. Masaya ang parade ngunit pero subalit datapwat...I treasured the overnights more. ^_~ Seriously I was waiting for a sign whether or not to stay put in FA... I guess leaving will be more difficult now.

Anyway, first day - we were working on frames. May free "dean" pandesal...(or was it Mang Dong pandesal? :) Gitara like-there's-no-tomorrow nanaman si Rino, kaya we left him to have dinner at Mang Jimmy's. Sir DJ was so nice he gave us chocolates too :) We started singing when we were becoming unproductive...so there...zombies. :) Eventually kinailangang matulog. Then dropped by FC to cunsult for CW a bit...We were cooking the gawgaw when Sir Herndz and Sir DJ arrived...gave us banana cakes and lent us his cd. Hay, I will never be able to criticize him again. :9

The meteor shower came the next overnight...naglakad kami sa UP ng hatinggabi -- Lance, JB, Grace, Jodi and I. (hah, ang fifth wheel :) Horror Stories to go sa Sunken Garden...lalalalala.. :9 Breakfast at Mcdo to follow...pancakes and hot choco = yum :9

121504wed.
+++unannounced overnight--> freestuffs galore! yakisoba, iced tea, iced coffee...the second year lanterns were starting to take form too. Free bread and soda pa from Sir Herndz...na si Tepai, Don at Rino lang ang nagbenefit. :) Shadow pictures...Moving on, pumunta kami sa AC, tinuruan ako nila Ate Grace and JB mag starcraft...I have one installed pero I have no patience for it. Sinundo kami nila Jodi at Don and came back with a furious Nanay...ack. Sir DJ lent us 4 cd's nga pala...so ack again. Puro oldies, may 80's thing, ewf + this instrumental one I like so much.

121604th. *the* parade.
~lovely~
Now, I go home. Was online most of the morning... I got sleepy ang overslept until 2 ( 12 was the call time :9 ) but that's me, so when I arrived we had our pig tails and pillows and pink pyjamas on...oh, Ariel was joining us this time.
I had high hopes for the bakunawa. I thought they'll be the highlight of the parade...Same goes for the Sirena. The balete was good they say, too bad we didn't see them perform. All I know is that our obscenity clicked with the AS crowd. hmm.
It was *hotness* under the bed!
What was unexpected: Jeff was in the crowd. hmm.
We went back to FA all sweaty...we had free dinner again! There was a gig after, the corrs-like band was playing then, and the first male vocals were just...astounding. We said our goodbyes...

It's okay, for a first Lantern Parade. :)

Finally, the thing I've been waiting to happen before vacation?
I got over him.
I hope.~

the one where I feel -- something

I don't know how, but
Excuse my PMSing: You don't have to understand me but…
I'm still hoping you would.


[9:45 am.]
The coming of a new season has always been elemental – leaving traces of past outbursts and the clearing of yesterday. It's times like these when I used to miss you – clinging to reason and wishing for wonders that the new age will bring me closer, somehow, to forgetting you…
I got so damn close.
(and then…whappak! There you were.)

[3:26 pm.]
Kaibigan: "Sandali pa lamang tayo nagkakasama… alam ko kung gaano kahirap iwanan ang nakaraan…pero heto tayo't parehong ngumangawa at nakikipagsapalaran... Ewan ko kung ikaw rin pero…
Masaya ako at kasama kita sa laban.
May mga bagay na wala akong mapagsabihan, maliban sayo. Siguro dahil kampante ako pag kasama ka. Masaya ako kapag pinagsasabihan mo rin ako ng sikreto. Pakiramdam ko ay may tiwala ka sa akin…
Natatakot ako…ewan ko kung bakit. Siguro dahil baka sirain mo ang aking tiwala…ngunit dahil ikaw ay aking kaibigan…
May tiwala ako sayo. Sana’y hindi mo ako biguin."

[4:41 pm]
this is what its like to be insanely jealous.
-- aray. prolonged breaths and weakened knees. And I had to keep it to myself. It cuts deep at the point where I begin to miss you, when all this time all that I've been trying to do is forget.

[6:24pm]
Kaibigan: hindi kita maunawaan. Sana alam ko ang iniisip mo para madamayan kita…

[-:-- pm]
"Must be chivalry…"
"How about romance?"
"I don’t think I'm bringing an umbrella ever again…"
[-:--pm]
Kaibigan: Huli na ang lahat. Gumuho ang aking mundo ng tayo ay nagkahiwalay. Hintayin mo ako, darating din ako sa sarili kong panahon…malapit na.

[1:06am]

I've been sitting on my bed
With a glass on my hand
Trying to figure out a way for me to understand
Through this talk we've just had
The questions I have asked somebody yesterday
About the sign that's in your eyes
About the biggest smile
All your face in the way
Questions I had asked somebody
How you feel only eyes reveal
Your answer's not for real

But I can't read your mind
Not this time

I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you

But I can't read your mind
Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
But I can't read your mind
Not this time

There are times when you don't wanna say
That there are problems in your head that you can't explain
I have been that way

Baby, there's a hunger, a kiss or two
But not forever do
If only I'd reach you
Maybe I'm a child
Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe, I am old
Maybe I said something
Reasons - to push me away

Maybe I have laughed
Maybe I have cried
But never did I try to put hurt on your side
I can't read your mind
Not this time...


-Cultured Pearls
Friday, December 3


the one where I fill in adjectives

You are fiery to be with. You're dynamic and volatile and a living roller coaster. You love the attention and never get tired of it. At a party you command attention, but you're a lightweight with alcohol and if you drink too much there can be trouble. :)You tend to over-analyze things, so the slightest comment or action can send you into a tailspin. Conflict with you can be either very productive or very dangerous. You are incapable of lying -- you have no guile -- and if they can't handle the truth, that's their problem, not yours. You are explosive when you're upset, but when the smoke clears you are right back on track with no ill will.

Yeah, I think that pretty much covers you.
