Apologies and Acknowledgement

I wasn’t able to do the stuff I had on my list for the weekends. Why? I had a spontaneous night out with some work buddies. And our drinking spree ended at 5 in the morning, after the partei I slept at Ray’s pad with Nhez and Estee. I went home at 10AM I think, and when I get there I just slept then went to Shang to meet my brother, I had a little shopping, ate dinner then went home. Monday, I did nothing too but bumming around the house. That’s just what I did.

I wasn’t able to fly to Cebu because my flight was 5AM (Sunday), but I was still at a drinking session that time. I ended up calling the airline for a re-book. Haaaayyyy… I should have been to Malapascua…. Swimming and enjoying but on second thought I have no regrets I still had a great time with my friends and new acquaintances.

Also, I need to say sorry to Kitty and Trish, we weren’t able to watch the game live at Araneta. Huhuhuhu… My apologies… It’s just that I didn’t have enough battery that time to get up… I really lacked sleep, and I still had a hang over from the previous night out. I’m really sorry girls… Trish, I’ll make it up to you, if you want I’ll stay with you every night till the shop closes… I have another option I can man the shop for you on Monday and you can have your day off at work. What d’ya think? And Kitty, we’re going to watch it on Sunday. I’m going to clear my schedule on Saturday night (hehehe as if), and I won’t let anything stop us from watching the game. Hehehehe.

I’m really sorry….

And Nhez thanks for taking me to that partei! I enjoyed it… really!

About Moving on....

I went to G3 yesterday to buy myself a black Havaianas Joy (it looks like this but just black)because when I went there last Monday one of the shop attendants told me that new stocks will be arriving on Friday and that was yesterday. I had high hopes of getting my own because surely there'll be enough stocks, when I got there... Voila! The black Havaianas Highs and Joys are sold out! Waaaaaaahhh! I almost scream when I heard the attnedant telling me those. What the.. ? It was just earlier that day when the stocks arrived and already gone before sunset??? Poor me...

So to mask my disappointment and to give myself a consolation I got myself two books from Power Books(they're on sale 20% off till the end of the month), one by Paulo Coelho (of course my fav'rite author) and the other by Katherine Patterson.

I started reading the Bridge To Terabithia last night around 10 o'clock I was just planning to read half of it because I still have work early the following day but when I was halfway I got really hooked, and I ended up reading the whole book last night. I didn't put it down until I was done reading it all. And because of that I'm very sleepy now and my eyes are very droopy. Its not because I read till dawn. No, in fact I finished reading it at half past twelve I think. But the thing is I spent about a couple of hours pondering about the book and the lessons I got from it. The book is very good, and to tell you it was the third book that I've read that really made me cry... The first book that I've read that made me cry was the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, second was Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom and last but not the least... Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson.

Actually, the book is a children's book I think or a tweeeners'. Anyway, i'ts a story about the friendship of a ten year old boy(Jess) and girl(Leslie). It tackles about their lives as kids and it also signifies that even how different the persons can be from each other still they can be friends, not just ordinary friends but the best of friends! In the book the two kids made their own imaginary place/'kingdom', ruled by no less than the two of them. It also tells about moving on.. No matter how big the piece you have lost.. still you need to fight and move on...

And speaking of moving on...

I sent my ex a greeting because it was his birthday. My ex and I were not bitter with each other we still ended up as friends but not like the way we used to before we're together. Anyway, he replied to my e-mail and told me that he's getting married. I thought it was just a joke but he told me that he isn't bluffing. I thought of some reasons why he's gettimg married at such a young age and her soon-to-be wife is even younger than us. I had this feeling that maybe she got her girlfriend preggy. I asked him why but he didn't mail me back. And then yesterday, our common friend told me that her girlfriend is 3 months preggy. I wasn't shock at all since I already had the feeling. After my friend told me about the news she then asked me how I feel, and I said I'm a little sad because they're too young. And she again asked if that's what I really feel and nothing more? And I said yes and that's all it! Maybe if this happened when I was still not over him, I dunno... maybe I'd freak out! hahahaha Actually, I really don't know. But for sure I'll be shedding a bucket of tears maybe... But that's if this happened before I was totally over him.

I have moved on.. and he did too. In fact he was the first to have moved on... He had a girlfriend after barely a year we broke up. And that girlfriend is soon to be his wife... and the mother of his child.

As of now he haven't replied to my e-mail yet or maybe he'll never will. And I don't want to mess up with his life either. We're both living separate lives...

Happy Birthday my Tito!

I want to greet a happy birthday my best college BOY friend Jack. Though I don't show it but really I'm missing you so much... I'm missing the whole gang and I hope to see you all soon. Let's party when I get there!!!!


Weekend Getaway


My rest days are here! Yippeee! I'm flying to Cebu first thin in the morning. I'm going to Malapascua in Bantayan Island. I'm going to spend a couple of days there... all alone!

Pampalipas Oras

I was very sleepy a while ago then i got an e-mail from one of our project managers, the subject was 'Pamapalipas Oras', when I clicked the link it made me really hyper! Nagising talaga ang utak ko! I recommend that you try this too! It's really fun! :-P

After you take this puzzle... tell me the keyword! :-P

LALA lalalala.....

Yesterday we had our IS Team meeting, as usual our meeting was extended until around twelvish. Our meeting was all about our regular tasks, and our pending projects I won’t elaborate those ‘coz I already had enough of it yesterday. :D

Also our supervisor gave us a little surprise, he brought us LALA! Yehey! I’ve been very curious about this local chocolate, my officemates have been telling me about this. They have known this chocolate since they were kids but I only got hand of this yesterday. Poor us. (US because K’Anne and Ate Shein also doesn’t know about his) Our childhood was deprived of this local goody. But its not yet too late, we were able to taste it yesterday. Thanks to you Sir Wilson our childhood is now complete! Hahahahaha!

Anyway, technically our meeting ended at around 11:00AM but as usual we spent the last part of our meeting talking nonsense! We talked about our childhood past time (childhood experiences were brought up because of LALA). We talked about the games we used to play when we were young; all of us in our team are of the same age range so we can relate to everyone. And we also talked about the cartoons during our time, the soundtracks of those dubbed cartoons. We were very happy remembering those shows. We were like little kids. Though I was awake the whole night before, I wasn’t sleepy during our meeting. I had so much fun instead.

Weekend Journal

Last Saturday, K’Anne and I watched Sukob at G4. I can’t believe that the cinema is still crowded though Sukob is showing for a couple of weeks already. When we came in there were no available seats, we were left with no other choice but to stand and wait for some seats to be vacant. We were lucky though because after about 15 minutes or more of standing we found some vacant seats. After watching the movie we went to eat then we did our rounds at the mall. Almost all stores are on sale. I was very tempted to buy or should I say I was already decided to buy a pair of jeans at Giordano unfortunately there wasn’t my size. I don’t know if I should be happy or what because I didn’t splurge on a shopping spree and I was able to save money or I should be sad because I didn’t get to buy anything for myself but the August ish of Cosmo magazine. After doing our rounds we decided to leave and get ourselves home.

Sunday after lunchtime we went to visit my cousin’s barely one month old baby at the hospital. The baby has hydrocephalus and her legs are paralyzed. She’s a very pretty baby though and her name is Patricia Alexandria Ysobel. She’s a very strong baby, she has been in the hospital since she was born because she’s premature but still she keeps on fighting to live.

After the visit we went to the mall we had shopping courtesy of my dad (anyway, haven’t I told you that my dad and I are now in good terms? We’ve settled everything.) then I watched the same movie again but this time with my brother and my younger sister.

Ok, about the matter that I’ve been blogging about, it’s all settled now. And we have a better arrangement. We already asked our dad about our moving out at first he was skeptical but we talked him to let us so he gave in but with some conditions. First, he wants me to bring the car (of course I’m getting a fuel allowance too!), second he wants my brother and I to come home to QC at least once every two weeks (that’s ok with us) and lastly, he wants to pay for the rent but we declined instead he’ll just give us a monthly allowance for our daily expenses and for our groceries. Those conditions aren’t bad, who would not want those? Those are the greatest deals ever! Very lucky me! I mean US, me and my brother.

After all the hitch, we finally moved in to our new home. We haven’t fixed our place and it doesn’t look like a home yet but it’ll soon be. I was busy sleeping yesterday preparing for my shift. (Yeah, I’m back to being a nocturnal worker and actually, I’m here in the office now. Wasting company time again… shhhhhh! ) We’ll unpack and arrange our clutter during the weekend and by then I’ll be able to post pics of our new home here. Soon.

Bad Day

I can hear Daniel Powter's song on the background.

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day...

It really is a bad day, its supposed to be our payday today but because of certain circumstances our salaries won't be released till Monday. Oh God! I was already anticipating for this day since the start of the week. I already planned on how to spend the mullahs that I'll be earning.

You see, it's really hard to count the chicks when the eggs are not yet hatched. Sigh.

I have this other problem... my brother and I don't know how to tell our dad that we're moving out, and we're planning to move out tomorrow. I really don't know how to tell him, I don't have any reason that would not offend him. As much as possible I don't want him to think that we're not happy with the way our lives go in that house, I want to break it to him in the most subtle way that I can. Question is... how?

I don't know if we can still move in tomorrow aside from the fact that we haven't asked for permission yet, I'm also penniless! How will I help my brother pay for the things that we'll need when we move out? Where will I sleep? We had a deal that I'm going to buy my own sleeping stuff. Does that mean that I'm going to sleep on the uncushioned bed while I'm penniless? How about my scolio? Oh my God! Good thing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be my rest days, I won't spend for my fare and meals.

I know I don't have to worry 'coz for sure my brother won't let me starve and sleep on an uncushioned bed but it's just that I'm more like ashamed of myself because every time I'm broke I always run to him. And he never asks for anything back. Though he's my brother I still don't like the idea, I'm already grown-up and working. I only spend my earnings for myself and I'm also receiving a monthly allowance from my mom but still I get broke. i think I really NEED to change my way of spending. These past few months I noticed I've been spending much on nonsense stuff. I really need to save! I need to save up for the rainy days... Well, no room for regrets. I might as well start anew (this coming Monday). A lesson to learn Kristina.

August is Here!

It’s already August, and finally we’re moving out of our father’s house! We were supposed to move in to a house somewhere in Boni, but we found a better place than that and it’s just within Makati, Mayapis to be exact. It’s a nice place. And the place is very conducive for learning (as if) and resting. The place is great! My brother and I just love it there! When he brought me there last Sunday I decided right away. I told him that the place is so close to the ‘home’ that I pictured in my mind. So right there and then we agreed to settle there. We’re moving in on Saturday (hopefully, I’ll keep my fingers crossed). We haven’t asked for our dad’s permission yet. :D But my brother and I both know that he will let us. I know that it’s what they want in the first place.

Anyway, the tension in my dad’s house has dropped down. We are all ‘friends’ now! Yeah! And that’s what my brother and I wanted, we want to leave the house without ill feelings.

We haven’t moved out yet but I’m already missing my bed there, the maids, my half siblings, my dad and her wife. We had our shares of ups and downs. I’m going to miss our Sunday luncheon. And the pre-slumbering talks and tv watching with our maids. They are my confidante, I can tell them anything and they still respect me no matter how big a fool I am! They are so sweet and thoughtful, they took care of me when I was sick, they cheered me up when I was down and they help me get away with all the household chores, specially doing the laundry. I really hate that chore.

Speaking of which, last Sunday night my brother and I did our laundry. Before we’ll take our dirty clothes to the Laundromat but we had no time do it last week so my brother just decided to do it himself. I was kinda moved when I saw him doing that so I offered to help him. We did our laundry without the aid of the washing machine! Shucks! Its sooooo hard! After that my fingers looked like sausages, I’m allergic with detergents. But now my hands are back to its normal size but the skin is peeling. Its as if I exfoliated it. But anyway, no regrets! I had a great time doing the laundry with my brother though. Hehehe.

SEGUE….
