love is in the air

Monday, November 27, 2006

christmas is coming but everyone around me seems to feel the valentine spirit this early. all my dinner-mates (read as: friends who i usually have dinner with) seem to have found love one way or the other. now, i dont have someone to dine with. sigh!

oh, dont get me wrong... im very happy that my friends are inlove. its just that i hate having dinner by myself. i dont mind solo lunches. i cant really pinpoint the reason but i usually dont have appetite when i have dinner alone. most of the time, i end up skipping it. sigh!

anyway, i guess everyone wants to make sure that they will have their special someone come christmas season. someone to go with during misa de gallo... share with the bibingkas and puto bungbong (all filipino delicacies that mark the start christmas season... really yummy)... cuddle with on the eve of the big day.

good luck everyone... i wish you would find someone to kiss underneath the mistletoe this year. hmmm, what if i throw another party before the christmas holiday? anyone wanna come???

you know when 13th month bonus is near when

...a lot of credit card holders reach their credit limit.

...the shopping list includes more "wants" than "needs".

you know when election is near when...

...you receive a birthday card from our elected goverment official from your mail.

...you see roads being fixed even if nothing's wrong with them and you will see a post beside saying "Serbisyong Publiko Alay ni fill in an govt candidate" (translates to: Public service provided by ______).

...the christmas decors seen in the streets have names and faces on them and its not santa claus or baby jesus.

food+alcohol+laughter = FUN night

Saturday, November 18, 2006

i would like to thank all who were able to come to my dinner treat. we had lots of food (everyone can have 3 servings of everything), and the stories and laughter that go on and on till way past midnight. luckily everyone were still somber, except you know who. hahaha.

btw, to those people (who call themselves my friends) who werent able to answer the question of the day... please expect the bill to arrive at your home any day next week. wait, i think nobody wasnt able to answer it at all!!! those answers you gave werent even acceptable. what a waste of my money! and to think i call you guys "friends"? humpf!

but seriously... thanks everyone!

the day before the BIG day

Friday, November 17, 2006

so tonight's the big celeb. well my real birthday isnt till tomorrow night @ around 11pm. but then if i have it on a saturday, less people will be able to make it. my colleagues and friends would be in their respective provinces ranging from antipolo, cavite to batangas. so friday it is. this is the first time i'll celebrate my birthday earlier than its supposed to be. normally i'll have it on the day itself or later if i cant. my mom always tell me that its bad luck to have it earlier. i dont want to tell her about it. maybe i will get less bad luck if she doesnt know.

i invited friends over... i hope they'll come. if they dont, i wont talk to them till my next birthday. they have to give me a VALID reason for not being able to. and i tell you, i only have a RIGID list of acceptable excuses.

i brought my cam so i can have photos of my bday celeb. come to think of it, i dont think i ever had pictures taken on my birthday since... err when i was five? oh well, nevermind. at least now i didnt forgot the cam. hehehe.

after dinner, i dunno if we're going to push thru with the music21 (videoke) session. i would love to have it... problem is, i dont think my friends would want it. sigh! and here i was practicing my piece. NOT! hahaha. im sooo hopeless with real gimmicks (night-outs).

hey i wonder if what my boyfriend's sister got me for my birthday. why the sister, you asked me? coz my bf is hopeless when it comes to buying gifts. but then again, im really thankful that tess is the one who buys me gifts. i really like her taste with bags and clothes. both of us (with my bf) will be suprised. every year... for birthday, anniversary and christmas gifts... thanks to the sister!!!

warning: h2omelon-gurl down!

Thursday, November 16, 2006

sigh! i'm sooo feeling down. i dunno what happened but i just woke up feeling sad. my dad called last night and i had to remind him about my birthday. and he said he almost forgot it. almost equals... yup, he forgot alright. but he never forgets my birthday ever. every year i get birthday cards, gifts and even text messages or call from him.

also, one of my oldest guy friend will not be able to attend my birthday dinner. he's been "held-up" by some affairs and he couldnt get out of it. and i mean he really can't get out. and here i was thinking... hopeful that he can join us. sigh!

but then i again, i dont think these have any effect as to why im being sad.

reflecting back on one whole year... everything's been great. got new friends... got real true-blue friends... got my lovelife back on track... been more focussed on things in front of me... and God has been generous giving soo many blessings even if i've been a bad girl. all of this, i'm thankful. hopefully everything will continue this way.

sigh! oh well, maybe its coz i didnt eat any chocolates yesterday. sigh! crema de fruta just wont do. sigh

talk abt self-appreciation

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

argh! i hate my voice. i dunno why my voice seemed to have stopped maturing since grade school. i honestly despise hearing my own voice. mine's sounds childish no matter how hard i try to cover it up. maybe even if i cough up my diaphragm, i doubt it will make any difference. i mean, back when i was young, it was cute.. yes. but now, i'm used to having strangers think that i'm still underage over the phone. "who's the teeny-booper caller on the other line?" /sob

and to think i disagree with how hillary duff speaks... but then again, she's a teenager so i guess that's forgiveable. i'm turning 26 and i still sound like a grade schooler. oh and im not referring with the way i sing... it's the way i speak. is anyone willing to transfer a part of his adam's apple... or maybe i need all of it. sigh! i really dunno why i talk this way. all my siblings got this nice matured voice especially my bro. i mean, you should hear him shout when he's angry... he still scares me and to think that i'm older than him.

oh, dont mind me. except for my casual sulking, im perfectly feeling ok.

its h2omelon week!!!

Monday, November 13, 2006

its my birthday! well not really today, but in the essense of being a fun-loving person, i self-declared this week as "my" week. what's the fun in that??? i just happen to love birthdays as we could always ask people around to be nice to us for the simple reason that its our birthday. and to fully capitalize with "another year older" blah-blah, i decided to have a birthday-weeklong celeb. the rule being... everyday starting today, nov.13 till nov 19 is an official h2omelon-gurl birthday. yey!

so friends out there, i'm giving you enough time to send your tangible (read as: preferred) gifts and good wishes (read as: preparing-for-a-tangible-present-next-year) coz i know how much you want to celebrate my birthday with me. i decided to have dinner with friends and colleagues this friday night. i wanted to have it on a saturday (the real birthday) but more than half of them couldnt make it. after dinner, im planning to continue the party with a music session with those who can join us. problem is, the boyfriend doesnt want to sing. i had to make sure that there are enuf people who'll be more than willing to grab the mic and perform. hahaha. have to bring the cam with me.

i had ordered the voted menu for our dinner. still had to buy plates and cups. mike promised bottles of beer; and im not sure if i can still cover for the cocktail drinks or wine or whatever. or maybe someone's willing to bring additional wine (hint! hint!).

my birthday wish? to be happy. not that i'm not. its just that every birthday... or whenever i see a shooting star or even the first star of the night, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. for me to be happy and live life with no regrets. but then again, a brand new (black please) mazda 3 wouldnt hurt.

let the games begin!

yey! yesterday marked the start of the nba season. you wonder why i havent updated my blog last night? well, the stupid me forgot my laptop AC power in the office so i couldnt really go online to write an entry. the good news is, nets won their opening game. woot!!!!

it was against the raptors and i was nervous as i didnt know how the raptors would play this year with their two new imports. turns out, the big 3 (kidd-carter-jeff) can still take on the challenge. im impressed with how lawrence rotated the players. i believe kidd played less than his usual gametime and still came out with unbelievable stats. i'm not really sure if he got another triple double... i wouldnt be suprised if he did. he makes the other players look real good, setting up hot plays and grabbing rebounds on the side. that's my man! vc is also a real-deal on the shots. krstic didnt play last summer and decided to take a rest from his national team to prepare for this nba season. what can i say. they're all great. i believe they would be able to grab the atlantic div champ title again this year.

today, its spurs vs. dallas. made a bet with my boyfriend. ofcourse im with spurs. i wonder how they would do... dallas didnt change their roster, would they be able to grab the title this year? i wonder....

remembering them

Wednesday, November 01, 2006

today is all saints day. tomorrow is all souls day. theoretically, people should go to cementeries on nov 2 and not nov 1. but since it has been a (catholic, i think) tradition that nov. 1 is a non-working holiday, we made use of the opportunity to go to our deceased loved ones this day. and my mom told me that we, in a way, consider them as saints in their own rights. hence, visiting the dead on all saints day.

i went to visit my boyfriend's mom today. its been a while since we had the chance to go to her grave. before, the two of us used to go there and talk to her about our relationship. i knew he loved her so much and i wish i was able to meet her. she has this wonderful son who treats me so well and i continously thank her for raising him that way. ok, maybe there have been some glitches... hahaha, but i think its safe to say that the changes happened after she passed away. still, i adore her son.

we are not a closed-knit family but my mom remember every deceased relative we have that she continues to amaze me. every year, we would send prayers and mass offering to our dead. take note, the list includes my grandparents and my grandparents' parents, and relatives to the 3rd degree. i really dont know how she could do that. i hope in my generation, they will forgive me if i will forget their full names... after all, i didnt even had a chance to know them in person... i better ask my mom for a copy.

i wouldnt forget my grandparents' names, though. that would be unforgiveable. i wasnt able to meet my dad's parents. i'm not really sure why but either they died before we were born or they spent their lifetime in our province. more likely its the first one. i can't remember their faces. but i remember that i tried to go through the old photoalbum... those b&w photos that are really, really scary to look at back when i was a kid as it was during the japanese invasion. most of my uncles and aunts (my father's sibling) died during that time. maybe i should try and look at them again. thing is, the recent horror movies affected me mentally with regards really old photos... i'm not sure if im ready to look at them again.

i was lucky to have met my mom's parents. both of them were teachers. my grandmom was twice as strict as my mom. i dont know how my mom made it through. hahaha. she had a tougher upbringing. i love my granddad though... a lot. he was very very handsome. and he let us eat candies and ice pops from my grandmom's store. hahaha. i remember him giving the goodies and letting us hide away until we finished eating. i missed them both but they spent most of the time in the province. we werent able to go to them frequently as back then, the travel time from manila to cagayan was more than 8 hours by bus. it was crazy and back when i was a kid, i couldnt handle long hours of travel.

i also have an older brother... he was supposed to be the eldest. he died minutes after my mom delivered him. i wonder how things would be like if he had lived.... me having an older brother.

these people made an impact in my life, directly or indirectly. my mom insists that i should remember their names even if i wasnt able to meet them. (better keep a written list). they have become part of me through my parents or through some other person somehow... and should be remembered even once in a year like today. may they all rest in peace.
