Plan B on Tuesday night

Plan A : swimming
Plan B : pig out


YIPEEEE!!!!

We planned to swim but it rained so hard.
Ung kidlat and thunder nakakatakot. Is it possible to get hit by a lightning?
Sabi ni diwa, di naman daw. I trusted her kahit feel ko ung sound ng thunder kasabay nung lightning is literally in my ears – we were seated kase by the window and the windows were open and we were on the 21st floor!
I think the storm danced to our conversation kase diwa who was on the hot seat, was sharing her stormy past with us. Bwahaha.


Not drunk yet. Just feeling drunk-happy.

Acting lang ba to, diwa?


And ava, when the cat is away, este isko is away, the mouse will play.

I enjoyed this swimming kuno session girls. Next time ulet.

Chow Funs

Katie: I want to go to Chow Funs

Ben: I thought we agreed we couldn't really talk at Chow Funs

Katie: I know

Ben: Are you saying Chow Funs because you can't face telling the kids? Because if that's why you're saying Chow Funs, don't say Chow Funs

Katie: That's not why I'm saying Chow Funs. Funs, I'm saying Chow Funs because we're an us. There's a history here, and histories don't happen overnight. In Mesopotamia or Ancient Troy there are cities built on top of other cities, but I don't want another city, I like this city. I know what kind of mood your in when you wake up by which eyebrow is higher, and you know I'm a little quiet in the morning and compensate accordingly, that's a dance you perfect over time. And it's hard, it's much harder than I thought it would be, but there's more good than bad and you don't just give up! And it's not for the sake of the children, but God they're great kids aren't they? And we made them, I mean think about that! It's like there were no people there, and then there were people and they grew, and an an an I won't be able to say to some stranger Josh has your hands or remember how Erin threw up at the Lincoln Memorial And I'll try to relax, let's face it, anybody is going to have traits that get on your nerves, I mean, why shouldn't it be your annoying traits, and I know I'm no day at the beach, but I do have a good sense of direction so I can at least find the beach, which isn't a weakness of yours, it's a strength of mine. And God your a good friend and good friends are hard to find. Charlotte said that in Charlottes Web and I love how you read that to Erin and you take on the voice of Wilber the Pig with such dedication even when your bone tired. That speaks volumes about character! And ultimately, isn't that what it comes down too? What a person is made of? That girl in the pin helmet is still here 'bee boo bee boo' I didn't even know she existed until you and I'm afraid if you leave I may never see her again, even though I said at times you beat her out of me, isn't that the paradox? Haven't we hit the essential paradox? Give and take, push and pull, the yen the yang. The best of times, the worst of times!I think Dickens said it best, 'He could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean', but, doesn't really apply here does it? What I'm trying to say is, I'm saying Chow Funs because, I love you

Ben: Did you hear that kids? Mom wants to go to chow Funs

-from the story of us
my j, will this be our story too? hihi:)

I think its been about three years since my ate came to Manila. Kaya she was wide-eyed amazed sa paligid nya, including sa glorietta.

She insisted on meeting up there instead of somewhere near the condo. She made up all kinds of excuses like she’s scared to get lost so somewhere familiar na lang daw or that it was raining too hard, mahirap bumaba sa alanganin. Yun pala she just wanted to see the malls! Hahaha!
The next day, we went to gateway. She was doubly amazed. How in less than 2-3 years, Cubao could change from being feared to being the ‘it’ place. grabe noh, how this city changes in a year or so.

Actually whenever I go home to naga, I feel the same way. Back then it was just a few fastfood restos like jollibee or mcdo, then came starbucks-inspired beanbag where everyone hangs out. Then theres coffee beanery - in the middle of the elite-looking Avenue Square.

And that also my niece, jenny is finally going to school. How time flies hahaha! My sister and I kept laughing while we bought school stuffs for her, pencil case, eraser, pencils, sharpeners, even panties, and sandos hahaha!

Am watching felicity again. Remember high school? Remember noel… ben… hahahah!

five lovely days.
May 16 – got back from Naga. Thankfully the ride is smooth and comfortable care of Isarog Line Lazyboy. you would feel lazy while in it but emerging from it, energized ka na because it gave you a sound sleep.

May 17 – bday ni jenny. She cried a lot when I left. It breaks my heart to leave her and so much more, to see her that way when I leave.

May 18 – erabella is born at last! Mommy donnnssss pictures please. daddy errol as expected is the proudest dad

May 19 – my j arrives from Mindanao. Now I know why the airport scene is the best place to see that L-O-V-E still prevails. anxious anticipation. Ganun pala feeling when you’re minutes away from seeing a loved one.

May 19 again – home massage. ang sarap. thanks to my housemate, johanne who sold the idea to us. Its super affordable and worth it!

May 20 – my j asked me out on a date. we had dinner at big buddha. got my fave coffee at seattles – javanilla. and went to see spiderman.

May 20 again – his flight (to Mindanao) the next day was postponed.

Sabit sa Caramoan.

Sabit lang ako but here I found myself as excited and as exhilaratingly crazy as them.


How can’t I? The beach is the best I’ve ever seen.
Ang sarap maligo. Ang linis. Ang sarap humiga sa shore. Ang sarap matulog sa beach!



The models
Not bench models but b-e-a-c-h models. I am the ‘unsupervised’, ‘stubborn’ model. but I did try my best kaya I have the widest grin, the least serious look when needed and the least free-flowing act. Hahah!





Thanks to ray. He made a sense out of the whole scenery. Naging doubly majestic, doubly enchanting ung beach – with us around!


Mga sirena.
Its not part our intention na I-outstage sila. It just happened.

My old dorm.
Not that I miss it. Wala lang.

My new room. Yes that’s still my old bulky tv. My old belts. An old pair of pants. But a new bed - a new second hand bed!

the view from my new room.

Not my new roomies but old friends who helped me welcome my new room. Thanks for coming over :) Sayang, they came in late that day, nothing left to unpack anymore or was that the intention?

huling halakhak

yey. ive finally moved in sa new place ko.after a tormenting experience sa old dorm ko, where i stayed for almost 7 years - this new place that i found is proving to be worth all that. parang blessing in disguise. its like a taste of vengeance din. now who's suffering sa heat, lack of light and air, in short poooorrrr ventilation right now?sila! nasa TBD ang huling halakhak bwahahah!:)

ok na po ako Lord, enough tboy-bashing.am moving on:)

glad you're back poisonivy! :)

Look at that smile.

I begged to sleep beside her one night when I was in Naga.
She sleeps with mama (she calls her mommy) and my ate (her ma, who she calls mama) so tucking me in beside her means someone has to sleep somewhere else.

When mama came into the room…
Me : jenny, dito na ako matutulog? Tabi tayo?
Jenny: oo dito ka na, mommy, ikaw san ka matutulog?

Too young to be subtle. Nsa genes kaya? Hihi.

to my gg:
I’ve been too hard on you these days.
And with you being so soft on me despite of that has made me realize, how blessed I am having you.
Here, your fave pic. Save mo na, pang-friendster hihi.

Hope you’ve added me finally. Pleaasssssee. Technically, you said that im not qualified to be your ‘friend’ jan sa friendster because I am more than that to you, but pleaasssseee, I want the world to know I’m part of the world you live in.

“I don’t know how to live in a world where my dad doesn’t”

I cracked in tears when George of grey’s said this.

I think I can say the same to you.
