Two big events for the day (29.04.06): 19th Birthday of Kathryn and My sissie's Graduation!

Pictures of Kate and Moi.. ;) *Happy Birthday seatmate! love.hugs.mwah!*

(oh yes, she's one of my great picture partners..*haha*)

Some pictures taken during my sister's grad in PICC and in Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel slash Hotel Philippine Plaza.. ;)

PICC..

SPIRAL Buffet.. *YumYum* This is my favorite place..

We attended my sister's grad in PICC from 7am until 11am. Finally, I have a sister who's now a doctor. *yey!!!* We had lunch in Westin at around 11:20am. The buffet was so delicious! There were really a lot of choices! The dishes were from all over the country.. I just can't say anything else now about the food but "DELICIOUS!" I wanted to try almost all of the dishes served, yet I was afraid of one thing--GLUTTONY. Haha! Then we went home to get some sleep. Next, we went to GB3 to eat dinner at Recipes. We were wit some of my sister's friends. It was really nice seeing Andrew once again! I really missed him.. our crazy talk, issues, bonding sessions, ayih sessions, and more. ;) Anyway, more details.. later! Gotta catch some sleep.. 'til then.. ;)

I'm missing Bohol already. *sob* Today's my Baby Neil John's birthday, and it's sooo sad that I won't be able to attend his party. I won't be able to see him in his party attire holding his huge balloon and blowing his birthday candles.. Aaw.. I envy the people present on his special day.. *sob* He called me up on the phone a while ago, and I really missed talking to him.. I missed our crazy talk. :( I also miss his cute pets. Haha. ;) And our little games too.. Hmm.. I wanna see him again.. waaa. I miss my BaBy!!

***

Some things I wasn't able to do in Bohol:

- be wit my friends there.. go to the beach.. or wherever.. just wanna catch things up..

- go to that Resort I've been planning to visit

- have a serious conversation wit an old friend.. I wanna clear things out.. everything is just a BLUR. Oh well. Maybe it was just not the perfect time.. Now I'm wondering.. when's going to be the PERFECT time???

***

I really enjoyed my 10-day-vacation! Although I saw some disgusting people within the duration of my stay there, it's not even worth it to spoil my vacation. PERFECT TAN.. thanks to the people who noticed.. because I really worked hard for it! Haha! ;) Thanks too for the people who appreciated my henna.. haha.. ;) THE BEACH.. waa. white sand. paradise! THE FOOD.. incredibly delicious! THE PEOPLE.. well, excluding the bitches and the jerks, all have been very nice and friendly! ;)

IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING!!

:: I know you guys are just after the attention. If there's one thing I hate besides bitches and jerks, it's fakers! ::

:: I've had one of the most meaningful conversations ever wit my dearest close pal, Marikar Mondero, a while ago. She indeed inspired me and made me realize that there's no such thing as a "master in love." Granny, always remember that everyone deserves a chance, and don't be too conservative because you'd probably miss out the close-to-best things in life. =) I missed you big time! Looking forward to more exciting conversations wit you.. mWaH! ::

LOVE YOU.. HUGS and MWAHS..

OUR DAYS WEEKEND (Pollock, ADMU)

I JUST MISS HIGHSCHOOL.. Although I'm not active in Days, That three-day-sort of retreat will always be remembered. ;)

Today's Maundy Thursday. We weren't able to go on a Visita Iglesia since one of my sisters has a duty today (2pm-10pm), so what we did nalang was visit the church and prayed nalang (stations of the cross). After that, on our way to McDo, NAHULOG AKO SA CANAL! Haha! CRUCIAL! It was so humiliating! When my right leg got stucked on the canal, all I was able to do was stare at my Havaianas floating on the dirty water. I was in shock. I never thought that it would really still be possible to get my Havs out of that dirty water. Thanks to my sister for getting it for me!I know she's maarte, that's why when she volunteered to get it for me, I was really touched! As in! Anyway, I was laughing and laughing, until I felt my leg started to ache. :( It was really terrible, but still, thank God I only had a scratch. So we went to the ward where my sister works, and brought her icecream, and told her what I've been through! All she was able to say was, "Yuck!!! Gusto mo ng sterilium?!" Haha. Very funny! That's the HIGHLIGHT of my day! Crucial! Well, speaking of Havaianas, my mum and I went to Makati yesterday to buy a dozen of Havs. Yes, a dozen. Haha! Talk about addiction! Well, those 12 pairs weren't all for me by the way! Haha! But I wish they were. Haha! I finally bought the one I've been eyeing for before I went to Batangas, and to my surprise, may stock pa! and last pair na! Yey! Haha! Those were really for me! ;) I can remember pa nga na when I was holding that pair of Havs, there's this lady who asked me if I'll buy it pa daw, 'cause if not, she'll buy it, so I never had hesitations! Haha! Super CRUCIAL. Tapos I saw the owner of J.O. pa.. pareho kami ng binili! I am so flattered! Haha! So 'til here nalang. Just wanna share the canal thingy!

Oh btw, here are some things that happened to me in the past few days..

Monday: I was scolded by my mother dearest. It was terrible. Iba talaga magalit mother ko. Marikar saw my mum got mad na.. di ba, granny? Hehe!

Tuesday: My mum was still mad at me. She got all my things. As in ALL. Gadgets, money, etc.

Wednesday: As soon as we got home from Makati, I finally had all my things back! Yey! ;)

THE WORLD OF ZIPS

(ctrl + C + ctrl + V)

WHAT ARE ZIPS?
Put together a piece of string, a little bit of weight and a large splash of color. Now make sure that they are chosen from the highest quality imported materials and are aerodynamically tested for optimum twirling fun and you've got yourself a pair of ZIPS! ZIPS are guaranteed to last through hours of play on the beach, the park and even your own house! Children and adults alike can't get enough of the waves of bright colors, the cool tricks and the "ooohs" and "aahs" of everyone watching. Yes, ZIPS have finally arrived and are here to stay!

WHERE DID ZIPS COME FROM?
ZIPS were inspired by the Maori dance of "Poi." The Maoris were the native people of New Zealand and "Poi" is their word for "ball on a cord." These innately cool people used rocks flung from flax rope to train their warriors and for the women to attract a partner. Poi has been part of the Maori culture for centuries and fire sets have been created recently to give a more intense performance. ZIPS are a safer alternative to tossing fire around your body and are just as amusing and beneficial!

I really want one of these!!! It's a must-have this season! It's perfect for summer.. especially when you're at the beach! Simply GORGEOUS!

Finally, I've told him about what kept on bothering me for a couple of days! Yes, it really did take me a lot of courage to confess. Whew. But after that, I didn't entertain his messages for a while.. I just hope he'll do something about it! Anyway, I can say that I'm pretty much productive this day. Why? Because instead of sleeping, I arranged my clothes in the cabinet, cleaned our room, went to the mall to buy some stuff, looked if the swimsuit is still there (oh my, just hope it will still be there when my Ate comes back to buy it for me! Haha! Thanks Ate Trina in advance! ;p), watched teleseryes while cutting papers! Haha! I did all those things to divert my attention. I have been bothered by a lot of things lately, and when Kate sent me a text saying that our grades are already out in the Main Bldg., I've been much bothered pa! Haay. I don't wanna prolong my agony, I'll probably go to school tomorrow to check my grades, well, that is if I wake up early and if I won't be too lazy. Haha. Oh well.. I just wish that my grades are all okay. Haha. Asa. But then, a girl can always hope. 'til then! ;)

KATE: Thanks so much for being there when I need you! And thanks for the support! Grabe. MWAH!
FRED: Ai dear! You've flooded my inbox with your R18 messages ah?! Haha! They were all funny, by the way! Haha! MWAH!
KAMS: I just hope that our Tagaytay escapade will be a success this time! Haha! MWAH!
FAVE GF: Haha! Got nothing else to do, honey! Net 'til I drop! Haha! Miss you! MWAH!
JING: Miss you too, Jing! Keep in touch! Goodluck kay -toot- Haha! MWAH!

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP 101:

"There's always a possibility that a person can get attracted to another. It's human nature. It's not wrong. But that's why you're in a committment, you discipline yourself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and it's okay, as long as you don't nurse the feeling and won't do something about it. Borderline between cheating and faithfulness. Recognize the reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get from the cheap thrills of attraction."

+ karen +

Thanks Katey for enlightening me. =) Maybe it's not yet the right time to do that thing to him. Sa isip ko nalang muna yung "surprise" na ganun. Haay. Miss you parnter! MWAH!

It's already 2:29 in the morning. Still, I'm here, blogging. I can't sleep. Well, I choose not to sleep yet. Haha. I wanna upload our La Luz pictures on my Multiply! Excited?! Haha! Oh well. So what happened to me today? Well, as always, slept for long hours, and when I woke up, I watched my all-time-fave-teleseryes! Oh yes! Haha! I haven't been eating rice since forever, until at dinner time. The food was so hard to resist! Really. I ate a lot of rice. PG? Haha! I missed eating. =( I haven't gotten the urge to eat since my hearty started to pain, once again. I just can't figure out why it's so damn hard to forget what I did to him?! It seems as if I committed a crime. NOT! Well, much worse than that. He has this unique way of making me feel guilty more and more each day. But then, I've had enough! I think it's about time to finally quit "panunuyo." It was never my intention to hurt him anyway, so why do I have to go through all of these? Right? Oh well. Enough of being an angel here. I didn't mean it naman eh. End of discussion.

I've watched The Corpse Bride and Monster-in-Law (full length) a while ago. I must agree wit Topher that the movie, Corpse Bride, was kind of creepy just by looking at the characters. Haha. Well, the title says it all. =) Monster-in-Law was nice. It was very funny! I just hope that in time, I won't have an evil mother-in-law. Haha.. Katakot eh. ;)So there. 'til then.. ;)

I MISS MY RLE THREE.. HOPE TO SEE AND BE WIT YOU GUYS SOON..
