My friends are enjoying the beach as I type this entry. My dad won't let me go to beach trips.. so I just spent this whole saturday at home (and in the car). I drove for my mom and I did a couple of household chores. Boring day. Tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday.. so my family will be spending the day at his house. Happy Birthday Lolo! :) Can't wait for monday though.. I'll see my friends again in school. Hah... story of my life.
I was craving for chocolates and I tried
searching in the fridge and in the kitchen cabinets. I always grab a
bag or a bar when we go to the grocery. Who doesn't love chocolates?
Goodness. ♥ Then I found a bag of Christmas Hershey's Kissables in one
of the grocery bags. :) Yay! I love the green, red, and white colors..
they were definitely meant for Christmas. I guess the grocery store had
too much stock. :D Anyway, I practically finished the whole bag.. well,
at least half of it in one sitting.
What else, uhm... yesterday, I had to attend a 9am seminar in school. Even if my class starts 6pm. I wasnt able to wake up on time. I woke up 8:30am already. My mom could tell I was panicking. I had to take a bath, grab
I'm assigned to design a ticket for a batch party in school. All my batchmates in all colleges are invited to this "cocktail party" on March. I've designed flyers, posters and cards for my college student council before but nothing yet for the whole university. I am an uber frustrated graphic designer. I used to do a lot of artsy fartsy stuff but somehow I lost it. I'm not that good with Adobe Photoshop and I haven't really explored some of its tools and features. I kind of need help. :) I was inspired by the vector art on THIS SITE. So I'm planning of designing the ticket using the same concept/style. If anyone could spare some tips, I'd definitely appreciate it. :)
I'll do a little experimenting now.. maybe change my vox's design (again). I'm bored. But I'd rather be bored than emo.. which I've been weeks ago. I'm currently jealous of my friends at the beach... I need to unwind.
Today has been one heck of a day. I was happy, I almost cried, I got anxious, scared, freaked out and excited.. all in one day.

I met up with my guy bestfriend who by the way I
haven't seen for a few months already. Feels good to catch up a little. The hug and the jokes were the best parts of it. :)
-
Besh (my guy bestfriend) gave me a late Christmas gift. It
was a perfume from Bench (photo on the right). Love it! ♥ I feel bad that I wasn't able to
get him any. I just treated him out for lunch. I think I'll get him
something good on his birthday.. that's a couple of weeks from now. mental note: save save save!
- The guy was in school today and we didn't even see each other. He
was with our friends and I was with my bestfriend. I could've dropped
by where they were... but I didn't. Err. And I miss him sooooo much. :(
I badly wanted to be with him.. but something tells me I shouldn't. I have my reasons (as if him
already having a girlfriend isn't enough). I was so perplexed. Darn confused.
Worse thing is, this is just all me. :( - Question: Does the end
really justify the means?
- My professor (who I have a little crush on. haha) just called out
a graded recitation for "Laws on Partnership and Corporations". I wasnt
able to read on it. It's not like I have this burning interest to learn
about the Law. So next thing I know, he was picking index cards with
our names on them randomly. As he called name by name by name.. my
heart just kept beating faster. I kind of get anxiety attacks (not so
serious ones) when I'm intimidated. I'm weird like that. Luckily, I was
"saved by the bell" - such a relief.
- As I was driving home, there was an unusual heavy traffic a few blocks away from my house. 5 minutes passed, then 10.. then 15.. drivers of cars and trucks behind me started running out of patience. Then I saw 2 guys running while pushing an empty "stretcher" to the direction of the traffic. A few minutes after, they were running back with an old unconscious bloody guy on the stretcher. I was about 3-5 meters away from the guy. I saw his face and his wounds.. its giving me the creeps until now. Out of curiosity, I asked the bystander outside my car.. he said the guy had a bike accident. The car that bumped him just left. Its really sad. And scary. I hope and pray that he lives.
- I got home still dazed by what I witnessed. Then I suddenly got a call on my cel from Eden, she just had to tell me that I wont tickets for the World Pyro Olympics! She saw my name on this site. Yay! I posted about it yesterday and I think that was what made me win! :) I'd love to watch world-class fireworks! That'd be amazing. :) I'm still thinking of who I should tag along. A guy would be out of the question. Elaine maybe.. I'll ask her tomorrow.
Forgive the shifts of mood. Hah, I was pretty much like that the entire
day. I'm signing off, I have to put my head, heart and body to rest.
*yawn* There's still a blue sky waiting tomorrow...
I'm getting really bored this Christmas break. After the 25th, I'm just stuck here at home. If not, I'm out running errands. =/ So not fun. It's a good thing Mica and Elaine dropped by last night. We did some videoke and had Mcdonalds deliver us fatty goodies. We sang boyband songs, 80s/90s songs and some emo songs (dedicated to certain people). :P It was fun! But they had somewhere else to go later that night so it ended sooner than I thought. Nonetheless, it was a big break from boredom. :) I thought I'd be lonesome this break.. after missing out on all the inumans. Thanks guys!
Today, I just went out shopping with my mom. As her fashion consultant,
she stayed in the fitting room and I brought her all the clothes. Haha!
She tried on around 20 tops and nothing seemed to fit! She blamed the
clothes for not fitting her, when she knew its was her that wouldn't
fit in the clothes. We tend to do that. Hehe.. :P Eventually she got
herself a blazer and a long sleeved blouse from Dorothy Parkins. Yay!
:) We met up with my dad and had dinner. I was really really full.
Since the mall was about to close, I was only able to get myself a lip
shimmer. :P Hehe, good enough. There, and
now, I'm back home.. infront of the PC.. surfing the net.. and
ofcourse, blogging. I dont think I'm even making much sense in this
post, but I just find the need to write type and do something. :P
For the past few days, I've been just trying to finish all 10 seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and up until now I'm still on the 3rd season. I never get sick of them, they just crack me up. :D (I ♥ Chandler!) I have to stop though, my eyes just get really strained from staring at the TV and the PC for the entire day. That's not healthy.Not to mention the incessant munching while I slouch on our comfy sofa. I think I've already made my mark on our couch, specially now that I've put on a few pounds. Hah! :) And, I sleep around 3am and wake up at around 11am. :P I have to fix my napping time! This ain't healthy either. What happens when school starts? Sheesh.
Tomorrow night I'm having dinner with my highschool friends. :) Woohoo! I get excited over these sort of things.. I dont go out much, so when I do, I'm just all giddy. :) We're all in different colleges now, and we do this "reunion" at least twice a year. We do some catching up and I tell you, my friends never cease to surprise me. There's always something new. I kinda feel weird being the same old slob that I am. Booooring. :P I know they love me anyway. Hahaha! :) That's what friends are for ♥ teehee..
Once again, I've changed my Vox's design. Haha! Hella bored. :P
Peace out.
Today's an awesome day. It's Jesus' birthday, why shouldn't it be, right? I had some peace... I freed my mind from all the burdensome thoughts I've been having. I had a calm and happy heart. ♥ Something I haven't had for the longest time.
Last night, my bestfriend called me on my cell around 1am. We haven't talked/seen each other for a couple of months now. I miss that guy. When I'm with him, everything's just less serious and less complicated. Though at times I get irritated with his stubborn and wacky antics, but he still never fails to make me smile. :) I guess that's just what I love about him. Its effortless. He gives me a natural high. I really had fun catching up and making up for all the lost time. :)
I got to chat with my Bishie earlier today too! She's been my highschool bestfriend. We used to be more like sisters. We wrote each other looong letters even if we were in the same class, not to mention, even seatmates! Since she moved to New York though, we sort of drifted away (communication-wise). College took away some of our time and we've met new friends. If there was a chance we're both online and not busy (rare), we'd IM each other to have our usual how-are-you's. :) Anyway, we did some catching up awhile ago.. :) I'm thankful. She's actually the one who got me into blogging, chatting.. all the internet stuff. Hahaha.. what a great influence :) I miss her! She was the closest one to me in highschool. I know a lot has changed. We have our differences.. but despite all that, I'm grateful we remain good, if not the best, friends.. in short, BISHIES. ♥ We'll stick by that. I'll be ninang when she has her kids.. Haha. Got that saved here! :) No escape! I'll be looking forward to it.
Look who I found underneath our Christmas tree this morning.. hahaha.. its Pepper! :) She probably thinks she's a gift. Hmm.. she's indeed a gift to me. For the past 5 months, she keeps me sane. uhhh, except the times when I find myself talking to her. Haha! She keeps me off the emo mode. :P I hope dogs dont have thoughts, she'd definitely find me weird. Hehe.. I heart pepper! She's a baby! A very spoiled one.
It's the simple things that make life worthwhile.♥Happy birthday, Jesus. Though I know its your birthday, I think I've had wonderful
giftsblessings today. :) Thank You so much.
Thing is, apparently, my mom used to have her as a boss in her old job a couple of years ago. They were unbelieveably close. My mom's the quiet sit-in-one-corner type, and my prof is/was this egotistic loud-mouth boss. The only thing they had in common was their native origins.. they're both kapampangan. I guess the world is indeed awfully small. I wish they had got together before all this happened. A sense of bias may have helped in saving us a few thousands for next term's tuition. My mom attests that my prof was quite obnoxious and she does have high standards in terms of her work. I must say teaching just isn't meant for her. You have to have a heart ♥ . =/ She teaches sitting down while reading her handy-dandy book then she goes on bashing everyone's incapacity to understand a word she says. You'll hate her for it, believe me. You'll feel stupid to say the least. She'd mention a common-sense statement and ask "naiintindihan nyo ba yun?" (Do you understand that?). *sigh* I can go on whining about how she managed to be despicable, but it won't change my grade. Understand that this is just me trying to redeem myself by trying to justify the zero in my transcript. Soon after this, I'll get over it.
Hope one day you'll tell me - 5 lang kami nakapass sa class. This is music to my ears. You must believe if others can, you can. I still believe in your ability. You only need to work harder.
I ♥ my dad.
I've changed my vox's design for the nth time. There's just too many to choose from! The pink xmas balls design was a bit too girl-y for me. Then I changed to a black and white one, but then again, I'd like to be in season. So I'm back to Christmas layouts. Sadly, there's no snow here in the Philippines.. more so penguins. :P But this is just adorable. :) The penguin beside the post's title is just so cute.. reminds me of Happy Feet. :)
I'm going to postpone my emo blog (hopefully until the end of this year), I dont want to ruin my Christmas. I want some peace and quiet... a temporary peace of mind, at least. :) Anyway, for the past few days/weeks, I've been taking pictures using my phone. My digital camera's broken. :( Err. The shutter wont open. So please bare with me with the quality of my photos.
Anyway.. TRIVIA: Pepper likes watching tv! :) She barks at dogs shown in Animal Planet. Hahaha ♥
I want to know what if feels like. ♥
I'm supposed to be having a videoke night with my friends here at my house later. I had to postpone it since my dad is home sick and my yellow labrador, Ginger, just gave birth to 6 puppies. :) My mom won't be home for the whole day.. so I'm sort of a "caregiver" right now. I'm running all the errands. Go here and there, do this and that. :P I'm moving the videoke night to Tuesday though. :)
I had to go the grocery to buy us some stocks and get my dad some meds. While driving, I was on a thinking mode again. Argh. My mind was off the road.. well, at least my eyes were on it. I hate it when I'm off somewhere in outer space. Hah. Anyway, I turned up the volume of my radio to keep me off the thinking thing. There was nothing good since most stations had old songs playing. I tuned in to Jam 88.3, I just listened to the DJs rambling about stuff.
Well, it sort of made my day, despite all the errands.. and all the
thinking. Plus, there's always a first time for everything. :) Oh cut
me some slack.. I'm trying to venture out on new things here! :P.
I'm pretty excited to try that resto, Global Cafe. I've been passing by it in Greenbelt but it just seemed like they have expensive food. I hope that 600 would get me something good. :) hmm... Who wants to come?
Btw, I think I want to join more radio contests.. Haha, to take me out of boredom! Besides, it's sweet to win.♥
It has been 4 dreadful days and I'm still sick. I get migraines.. my colds just wont stop.. I'm starting to become a mouth-breather.. I cough as if all my insides want to come out.. err, okay im starting to get icky. :P Anyway, I just like to share the story of my day, here it goes...
9:55 am - I was late for my 9:40 MARKSOC class (for the nth time). We were supposed to have a presentation on our social marekting plan but since classes got suspended last week, it got postponed to next week. We really needed additional time.
11:30 am - This guy I've been rambling about for the past months was my classmate in my literature class. It was his birthday last saturday and I made it a point that I got him something good. And I did. Or so I thought. When I got to class, I gave him a keychain (that wasn't the gift yet) and he really was thankful for it. It served as an "appetizer" supposedly :P Just when I was about to give him my real gift.. he popped out an "object" from his bag and told me that he got this "thing" for his birthday (which seemed like it came from his girl). I was in shock! It was the exact same thing I was about to give him! I dont know if he noticed but it was like I wanted to melt right then and there. I practically chickened out.
1:00 pm - I was still confused on whether I should give my gift to him or not. I was trying to analyze if this was some sort of sign. Something like.. he already has one, so why does he need another? (And that thing can be interpreted in so many ways!) My mind was quite messed up. I just ate my lunch but my sickness got the best of me. With no appetite, I ate just 1/3 of my food. I felt like I wasted money and so I asked if the guys from the resto if they can keep my food until later. They allowed it. So no wasted money..
1:50 pm - I started having migraines.
2:40 pm - I learned that on thursday I have to sing in class to makeup for my absences. Bummer. I only sing in the privacy of my bathroom. They'll regret it, y'know. During this class, I felt so restless. The idea of the gift incident was taking over me. To give or not to give?
5:40 pm - My bestfriend dropped by school to get something from Elaine. I was smiling despite the uneasiness I was feeling with my migraine. He had a special friend with him.. and it seemed like she wasnt very happy to see me. She didnt smile nor looked at me, she could have at least tried. But all I got was a big pout. Anyway, I also felt bad that my bestfriend, of all people, didn't bother to know how I was. I've been sick for a few days, not a word from him.
6:20 pm - During my BUCOTAX. I texted him to meet me after class. I finally decided to give the gift anyway.
6:45 pm - My business taxation professor gave us our grades for the midterm. I got a 69. Without mercy, she gave me a failing grade. I needed a 70 to pass. I don't want to flunk this term. Please.
7:30 pm - I was anxious to meet him. I went up to his class and we stayed for around 30 mins. I waited til we both had to go before I gave him my gift. He thanked me then he gave me a nice hug and a peck on the cheek. It still worries me though that my gift would have no meaning whatsoever. Like its just a duplicate or something. Well, I'm just thankful I made him smile.. and at least I got a good hug. It's more than what I had expected.
9:00 pm - My bestfriend called me. He was asking how I was!! I have no idea why he did such thing. As if he read my mind! It felt really good that he just had the urge to ask me. I was starting to think that I was losing him. Apparently, he's still there. Really, how could he have known?
Things that happened to me today just tried to balance themselves out - the good and the bad. The *gift* was the highlight of my day.. it lasted all throughout. I pulled it off anyway so I guess I'm okay. Things happen for reasons we cannot explain. I just have to live with it.
I think I'm going on an all-nighter tonight for my export marketing presentation tomorrow morning. I'm still alive. My migraine is killing me, but I have to work work work.. I'll get my much needed rest hopefully after class tomorrow.
Sheeesh, I'm still sick.
I'm craving for coffee right now.. starbucks! starbucks! I have yet to complete the stickers for my Sparkhope coupon to get a planner.. but thats not really the point. I just want to sip a hot cup of toffee nut latte.. hmmm.. *closes eyes, sniffs, then sips* Ok, that was kind of weird. Anyway, I just slept the whole afternoon today. Was I productive or what? Instead of trying to shoo away negative thoughts, I opted to just sleep through them. Thing is, what happens when you wake up? Hah.
I'm starting to hate friendster (hate is such a
strong
word). The one time I decide to check it... it almost made me cry. I'd
delete my account but my efforts in uploading things there
would be deemed useless, so I'm considering keeping it. I know it has
served a great purpose to some of my friends like Miko and Ian, but this is just
me (no offense meant, guys.) I admit, it's quite my fault for accessing
others' accounts but I guess I'd rather blame its existence. It makes
the world a lot smaller.. but what if you need the distance?
Agh. I'm full of negative vibrations. *woooshaaah* I do need coffee!!
Despite my previous entry, today was a good day. A pretty good one at that. I could expound more on that... but I won't. Hahaha..
Ayway, I've shaken off that negative vibe I had earlier. I shouldn't really be bashing on someone else's problem.. but I just had to say what I said.. No regrets.
No offense meant either.
