Hits & Misses


As usual, here are some of my random thoughts .. hehe

-oOo-

Hit: Father mentioned some stories in our class today which I can still recall that he menitoned to us in our Lab Stan and Corpo class

Miss: I could not remember the answer to his oyster soup bar question .. hehe

-oOo-

Hit: I though I saw Alia walking near the Gazebo, so I called her name. Hindi pala siya iyon. But she was just right behind the person whom I thought was her. Whattacoincidence!

Miss: Such incident really means I need an upgrade with regard to my eyesight .. hehe

-oOo-

Hit: There are a number of materials from my classmates to read for our subjects

Miss: So little time to read them and so expensive to have all of them photocopied .. haha

-oOo-

Hit: Too many stories heard

Miss: Too many stories to keep .. hehe

-oOo-

Hit: I underwent a basic medical check-up and everything seems fine .. yahoo!

Miss: Watching my chest x-ray and realizing that my 'thoracic scoliosis' is really obvious. This was the only major comment the doctor had

-oOo-

Hit: I am doing ok :)

Miss: Some of my friends are going through some tough times :(

Sabi ni Father: In the end, it is your horizon which operates (or something to that effect)
hehe .. dili related sa hits & misses .. toynk!

Weird!

1. This game starts with 6 weird things about you.
2. People who got tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 6 weird things.
3. They should as well state this rule clearly.
4. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Here we go..

1. When I sleep, dapat naka-tuck yung shirt ko .. insert na kung insert .. ayaw ko mapanuhutan .. haha

2. I eat candies, preferably snow bear, whenever I take exams. This has been a habit of mine since high school pa. Yup, kahit nung board exams may supply jud ako ng candy. Usually, 1 candy for every 30 minutes. Tapos if panic mode kay lisod ang exam, ubos agad ang supply. If some kinda kaya, sobra ang baon. So, if sabay tayo mag-exam and may narinig ka na may ga-open ng candy .. ako yun .. hehe

3. I have this habit of joining a conversation, assuming na alam ko ang topic tapos mali pala ako, pero minsan, hindi ko masyado ipa-obvious na mali pala ako .. hehe

4. I don't drink coffee. Kahit may times na super OT sa work before, kahit na gastudy for school.. hindi jud ako ma-kape .. hehe .. ayaw ko lang ata iyong pagkapait .. hehe

5. Since I love talking, there are times that I talk to myself .. ask my sisters. Kulang na lang ata idala nila ako sa mental hospital. But since dumadami na rin kami na kinakausap ang sarili, baka hindi na ito weird in the near future .. hehe

6. Hindi pa rin ako makaget-over sa break up nina Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston .. haha .. hanggang ngayon, wala pa akong pinananood na film ni Angelina since naging sila ni Brad .. parang naka-move on na si Jennifer, ako hindi pa .. o di ba weird!

I tag YOU!

Big Yellow Taxi

Admittedly, there are so many thoughts running through my head.

However, to put it all here would take so much time.

Para mapadali ang buhay, lyrics na lang muna ng song na pang-LSS .. hehe

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
x2
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away

Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why you want it?
x2
da da dada da da da da da

With A Little Help From My Friends

What would think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
He gets high with a little help from his friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Oh...
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends

the song speaks for itself :)

10 Things I Hate About You

I got to watch "The Break-Up" today. The words of wisdom of Johnny-O (Jon Favreau) to Gary (Vince Vaughn) towards the end of the film somehow struck a chord with me that I decided to search for it in the Internet.

Unfortunately, I could not find it for now.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon this quote from the movie "10 Things I Hate About You." I truly enjoyed watching this film. And I have to thank Maia for introducing this one nice flick to me.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.

I hate it, I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.

Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Tears

"There are 5 types of tears:

  • Sorrow
  • Regret
  • Joy
  • Fear
  • Allergic Reaction

The one thing they have in common is DNA."

This is what I learned from CSI the other day.

How appropriate. I wonder ...

The Fast and the Furious

Windang!

This was basically our reaction after our Constitutional Law 2 class a while ago.

So, this is fourth year. As expected, things are quite fast and furious. Masyadong mabilis ang pangyayari .. hehe .. Review class na talaga! No matter how much I expected that things would really be fast in fourth year, it is indeed quite different when I'm now experiencing it.

But I am not in panic mode just yet. Being in a panic mode would just make me panicky .. ano daw? Hehe .. I mean, I just have to chill it out and do what I am supposed to do. Panic would just lead to chaos .. chaos leads to disaster .. disaster is the end of me .. hehe.

Obviously, I am not yet panicking considering that I am here blogging =P But I am keeping this short since there's a lot of stuff to do ..

On the other hand, having so much to do would keep my mind off things .. hehe ..

Social Loner

I am not sure how I came up with this irony. But I guess I am a social loner. Weird but true.

I do not know how to explain this further .. hehe.

Well, I know a lot of people. I get to go out with different people every now and then. I get to talk and share stories with different people. But don't get me wrong because secrets and confidential stories are not shared along the way .. hehe ..

Still confusing? Well, I think it's about I can be with different sets of people. If I get invited to an event or just a simple dinner, I try to come. In the next event, I am with a different set of people. If I had too much of a good time in a month already, I stay at home.

Don't get me wrong because there are people that I am constantly in contact with, I think.

But maybe there is something wrong with me. Because at the end of the day, it is just me. I am alone with my thoughts and rarely say my innermost sentiments (if meron man).

Hai .. confusing man ako oi .. but I just have to write this even if does not make sense to humanity just save my insanity .. hehe .. yes, I am already insane :)

Tired

Nope, this is not about being tired about law school and all those law school stuff .. well, not yet anyway considering that I am still in my first week as a fourth year law student.

Anyhow, napaisip lang ako that there are just some things that I seem to have grown tired of. There are certain situations which I have dealt with almost everyday and somehow I just have to let go because it has come to a point that it drains my energy somehow. Well, it hasn't really drained my energy but I don't want to get to that point. I know I should just go with the flow and maybe this is going with the flow.

Things happen. Circumstances change.

Ang akin lang naman huwag pangunahan. Mangyayari rin naman siguro kung yun ang dapat mangyari .. hehe .. SMB commercial man ito noon.

Anyhow uli, there are situations that I have grown tired that I prefer not to be attached to such situations anymore. Some people will not understand. But this is personal and this is me.

There are certain images and perceptions that I have grown tired of being attached to me. I have grown tired of certain remarks that I feel nagmumukha na akong kawawa .. hehe .. self-pity .. haha. I guess that's life. It is just a matter of dealing with it. They just have to manage their expectations and I just have to live my life and manage my expectations within my own world. And just deal with it!

But that's about it. I may be tired since I am only human .. hehe .. but I still have more than enough energy to go on, for now that is .. hehe

Oh life!

Mmmbop!

I was surfing the net and I heard the Mmmbop song by the Hanson being played on TV. So, I decided na yun ang title ko sa blog ko for today .. hehe

-oOo-

First time na nag-enrol ako sa first day of school .. hehe

-oOo-

I did not know what to expect today except that I know I will be busy with the video stuff for the Freshmen Orientation

-oOo-

I am happy that the music videos and powerpoint presentations went ok

-oOo-

I am happy that my opening prayer went well. I think I seem nervous with the prayer. And I think it would seem that way since I just came from running when the program was about to start.

-oOo-

I am happy that the opening prayer was acknowledged .. haha .. feeling :)

-oOo-

I don't know what to say when Father addressed me while I was at the Dean's Office. He asked me about my mom still not taking the bar exam. I said she was already ok not taking the bar exam. I mentioned to him that before, we joked around na sabay kami magreview and mag-bar ng mom ko .. hehe. He then said that "it is better to have tried and missed, than never to have tried at all." Ok na sana, dinagdagan pa niya "it is better to love and be hurt, than to never have loved" Hala! Damay-damayon pa jud ko .. hehe .. affected!

-oOo-

Afterwards, Father then mentioned to another professor that before, their student was my mom. Ngayon, anak na daw ang kanilang ginaturuan .. hehe

-oOo-

I am happy and blessed when I officially found out that 5 of us in third year are dean's lister. Happy jud ako kasi madami kami and I super care for these people and this is a super blessing that is shared by all of us :)

-oOo-

Grateful for those who expressed their congratulations, including teachers :)

-oOo-

Hmmm ... medyo makapressure din iyong bar bets na speech ni dean ha .. hehe .. walay pressuray .. haha

-oOo-

I am really happy seeing all those people in law school. I think I get my energy from the people around me .. mas energy, mas happy!

-oOo-

Happy that we went out for dinner. Aside from food, nabusog pud mi sigeg storya ug sigeg katawa .. hehe .. sana padayon kahit fourth year na :)

-oOo-

Cheers to a new school year!

Trip


After a super enjoy beach trip with friends, sinulit ko na ang mga natitirang araw ng summer .. hehe .. This time around a quick but super adventure trip with family.


We left on June 4 in the afternoon. My mom and my sisters proceeded to 168 Mall while my dad, my brother and I stayed at the airport for the son of my mom's officemate who was going along with us with the trip. Afterwhich, we proceeded to Mall of Asia and had dinner at Congro Grille. What a happy stomach! Then, uwian na.


We woke up early the next day for our interview at the US Embassy. Yes, this was the main reason why we had to go to Manila. Before 8:30 a.m, we were already done with the interview. We had good news and bad news. My mom, dad, JJ and I were ok for a US Visa. But my two sisters, whose courses were BSN, were denied for that reason alone. No other papers were asked. We think they also had doubts to issue a visa in my name since I am already 27, still a student and unemployed. But I think the fact the my dad is a lawyer convinced them that I am staying to practice the profession with my dad. Hai .. sadness for my 2 sisters. It would still be years before our family would be really complete ..


While it did dampen our spirits, we still made the most of our time there.


Off we went to the Manila Ocean Park. It was pretty ok but I think a lot of it is still under construction. So, I am hoping for more improvement. And I do pray they clean up Manila Bay as well. Seeing the trash was quite frustrating. I guess the highlight was when my brother decided to have that fish spa .. it was a delight seeing him enjoying that experience :)


We then headed for lunch to Aristocrat, which is one of my mom's favorite restaurants. Then, we went to see the PBB House ... haha .. I know! Jologs na kung jologs! We watch PBB and it was really nice for us to see the house and realize how small it is sa front yard. At umakyat kami sa stage at nagpapicture .. hehe. Hala! Picture galore .. hehe. Trinoma was our next stop. We were supposed to go to Bonifacio High Street but I guess everyone was already tired so we decided to go home and catch up some sleep considering that we slept at 12 mn and woke up at 5 am.


We headed for the Ocean Adventure the next day. My mom decided that we should take the swim encounter. We love you mom!!!! It was an experience in a lifetime jud! We really love dolphins that's why we were so ecstatic when we had that encounter. Abot tenga ang smiles. Siguro, kahit tulog kami after that .. nakasmile pa din. And we know that our mom and dad really enjoyed taking videos and pictures of us .. hehe

Back to Manila, we went to Bonifacio High Street, ate at TGIF (sarap, sarap) and saw John Estrada, his girlfriend Miss Earth Priscilla Mereilles and his kids.

The next day, we were back at Mall of Asia and tried ice skating. Hai, I fell 3 times .. twice on my left knee and one on my butt. Nabun-og intawon akong left knee. Aside from the fact that it was my first time, I had a hard time getting a hang of it (pero pinakamahirap pa rin ang snow boarding .. promise!). Nasugatan ang paa ko and it was too late when I decided to change shoes. Pero lingaw na ako na naka-ice skating nako .. murag bata .. haha .. We had lunch at French Baker, another of my mom's favorite.

We then proceeded to Enchanted Kingdom. It was fun because this time around my brother JJ can ride the rides (hehe), unlike the last time we were there. First ride, Rio Grande Rapids! Of all of us, my mom was the one was the most wet. I think I was second .. hehe. Then, there was Rialto! Up next was space shuttle! My brother was shouting "ayaw ko na". And I was nervous and excited at the same time .. hehe .. Then, we proceeded to log jam. I decided not to go with them sa Ferris Wheel. We then went to watch the Diving Show. Basta, we had fun there jud!

We went to get our stuff then proceeded to the airport since our flight is at 4:30 am. The gates won't open until 1:30 am. So, I sat on the floor and slept for some time, quite uncomfortably. Nung nakapasok na kami, hala, higa sa upuan. I got a one-hour sleep. And then, wala pa naka-take off ang plane, natulog na uli ako ..hehe. Pag-uwi sa bahay, we ate breakfast, nanghipos ug gamit and then off to sleep again. I woke up at 3 pm na .. feeling jet lag .. haha

All in all, it was a great family adventure. Short but super fun! Happy, happy, joy, joy!

The Great Island Adventure

This is some kinda belated ... nabusy man gud .. hehe

Anyhow, I had my 3rd trip to the beach for this Summer last May 30. The first one was in Paradise with a friend from Manila na parang 3 hours lang and I didn't swim. The second one was in Paradise where nakisabay kami sa team building sa office ng mom ko. That was a one-day affair. So, it was just appropriate that my 3rd trip to the beach would be an overnight and hindi na sa Paradise but sa Isla Reta.

That was my second time to Isla Reta. The first time was summer after first year law school. Overnight din yun. Come to think of it, the summer after second year, nakapagbeach din ako with law school friends overnight din sa Paradise. So, ayos talaga to. Dapat next year uli :)

It was quite an adventure since we had to ride two boats to get there kay giinspect or gipakyaw ata iyong boat talaga ng Isla Reta.

When we got there after some hours, the water was great for swimming.

After eating and some picture taking, I had fun swimming and discovering the different parts of the beach - underwater, by the rocks, sa sand, sa shore .. hehe.

We had so much fun taking pictures. Unfortunately, I did not take enough pictures kay murag nalingaw na jud ko sa tubig and sa company. Oh, well .. sa heart na lang .. haha .. Pero enjoy talaga iyong jumping pictures .. daming attempts just to get it right. And I think we were able to burn enough calories with those jumps.

Siyempre, meron ding card games .. haha .. lingaw din ako dito sige katawa. Sana nalingaw din sila akin. Pero super laugh trip talaga to.

Around 1 am, it started to rain .. hala! Buti na lang may vacant huts, kaya hayun. hehe

At 4 am, wala pang sun, the water looked so tempting that we decided to take a dip. Malamig pala .. haha! Pero naaliw ako because clear ang water. Makita kay may ilaw man sa isang part .. hehe

Kaya lang, we had to get back at 6 am kay ang next trip 3 pm pa .. hehe

Basta .. super nag-enjoy kami. Just a perfect way to spend summer .. not really to end the summer kay hindi pa tapos ang summer ko .. hehe ;)

Hangover

I was ecstatic when I was able to catch Larry King with the Top 10 American Idols on CNN. I caught the 2nd part on CNN. The 1st part was through youtube. They are one happy bunch! They had a number of hirits that really made me laugh (and even dance during breaks .. haha!) I was dancing to the tune of their opening number (Get Ready) during the final night.

So, eto Top 10 moments ko during that interview:

1. Archuleta saying it was really funny when he found out that 3 of his friends has a David Cook song playing in their MySpace site :)

2. Bewildered - Jason's reaction when Paula made a comment as to his "second" performance.

3. Cook saying that if it was a singing competition, Syesha would be sitting here and he would be all the way at the end ...

4. Brooke saying that she missed the cue with the piano because Ryan was behind her during her first blunder .. hehe .. naghanap ng damay

5. Larry King mispronouncing Chikezie's name =P

6. Silence .. after Archuleta saying 'who know what's going to happen?' Then, laughter. Larry King saying 'thanks for leaving me hanging'

7. Michael Johns with his sexy dance

8. Michael saying that Archuleta said to him that Michael could be his little sister's dad.

9. Michael dodging Larry King's question twice why he was in Las Vegas

10. Yearbook Awards - Michael Johns as class clown, class flirt, and most likely to get into trouble.

Hindi rin masyado obvious na I'm a big Michael Johns fan .. slight lang.

Anyhow, eto lang maalala ko .. pero marami pa talaga na makatuwa na moments .. hehe

Hangover na kung hangover .. hehe

As Good As It Gets

I have to admit the fact that my life is sort of a bore for the past few weeks. I have been going through the same routine - making reviewers, watching TV or DVDs, reading a book, surfing the net, eating, sleeping .. you know the drill!

Nevertheless, I am thankful because despite the bore, I never ran out of being thankful for little things that have come my way. Here are the Top 5 good things that has happened to me over the last few days:

1. I passed Corporation Law .. and I am truly happy with my grade :)

2. I passed Tax 2, too. I was sort of thinking that my grade would not be that too good considering that my grade for the 2nd exam was a 62 .. toynk! But na lang nabawi .. hehe

3. Nakapagswimming na rin ako sa beach last Saturday .. and the water was great for swimming .. ayos!

4. Good talks with people I have known for some time - ke sa gazebo, through text, or after watching a movie.

5. I watched the Bucket List and finished Harry Potter 6. Hopefully, I could watch more movies and finish at least one more book before school starts.

I know I'm blessed with such good things .. truly grateful ;)

Cook is it!

Admittedly, I am not a big fan of David Cook .. hehe ..

But I truly acknowledge that he rocks. I respect his talent and he truly is a performe. He does not necessarily have the best vocals but it is good enough with the aura he brings on stage. I just don't like it when he shouts .. hehe. His best performance, for me that is, was "Always be my Baby". I was hoping that he will end up in the finale so he could sing it again. Well, he did not choose to do so. But, who cares? He is the new American Idol :)

I am no big fan of David Archuleta either. I just like that his voice is nice and I think he is really a nice person as well. Archuleta was also great. But he was a given ever since he was chosen to be part of Top 24.

David vs. David finale was a great combination. They are complete opposites and with definitely different fan base. And different attitudes as well. Cook can act smug and go head on with Simon's feedbacks ("well, it's America who votes .. toynk!). Archuleta, on the other hand, was all thank you, gosh, this is so great .. hehe. Basically, either one will do.

All in all, I was thinking (not necessarily hoping) that Archuleta will win before the finale just because he was a shoo-in from the very beginning and most of the people who tend to vote are those who fall within the age-group of his fans. And aside from that, there is this reality that I can't get rid of : the image of Cook being smug ... sorry dude .. hehe. Maybe it goes with his age and the rocker aura (but I don't think Daughtry was smug .. maybe that's why he was booted out before the final 3 kasi kulang ang rocker aura niya). Another reason is I have this feeling that Cook will sell more albums than Archuleta whether he wins the title or not, so, kay Archuleta na lang ang title .. hehe

I admit that Cook has a lot of fans on this side of the plante. Friends and classmates of mine were rooting for him. Even my mom was cheering for him .. hehe :)

Come performance night, Archuleta clearly outshone Cook. Nahulog sa song choice. But I really like Cook's 2nd song, even if Archuleta's 2nd song was a winner's song .. hehe. So, medyo nareinforce yung belief ko na Archuleta could win.

I was thinking na super nag-effort fans ni Cook because naipit siya last night. Kudos to his fans .. fans jud mo .. hehe

So, if I am not a big fan of Cook and Archuleta, then who am I? I am one big fan of Michael Johns .. haha .. yun ang highlight sa akin - to see him perform again .. hehe

Here are my Top 5 moments in the final results night:

1. The 6 guys singing with Bryan Adams .. I like the songs they sang man gud .. hehe :)

2. Carly and Michael's duet .. the top 5 usually sing with a celebrity, eh di celebrity si Michael Johns .. haha!

3. Midnight Train to Georgia with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. (lingawa nako kay Downey oi)

4. Opening number ng Top 12 .. all white .. hehe :)

5. Archuleta singing Apologize with One Republic (familiar man gud ako sa kanta .. hehe)

Oh, the announcing of the winner (pinatagal din talaga ni Ryan after he said "david ...") was memorable as well. But I got a text message that our Corpo grade is out .. nakulbaan ko! So, medyo nawindang .. haha .. I'll check my grade later .. hopefully, I'll be a Cook when I get it (please .. Lord .. hehe) :)

Eyes Wide Shut

I know it is summer.

But I have a feeling that I am using my eyes to the fullest extent. At least, when there were classes to attend, I really don't abuse my eyesight for a maximum of 4 hours.

I am already visually impaired, wearing eyeglasses with a grade 5.00 on both eyes. I started wearing eyeglasses when I was in first year college, which was way back in 1997 .. hehe.

Anyhow, these are the ways I am abusing my eyes:

1. Make reviewers using my laptop

2. Read Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince when taking a break from making those reviewers

3. Watch TV when my favorite shows are on

4. Read newspapers during commercial breaks

5. Surf the net before going back to making reviewers

This is basically what I do these past few days. Thus, I cannot deny that my eyes are strained. I guess I am ok with this, rather than be bored .. hehe

When do I rest my eyes? When I am sleeping, taking a bath, eating or just walking around the house in a limbo .. haha ..

Oh, well ...

Mom

Super characteristics of my Super Mom:

Hardworking - She was able to sent 7 of her siblings to college while she already had a family of her own.

Thoughtful - She always see to it that we had kinilaw and sinigang whenever I was in Davao when I was still working

Unselfish - While my mother loves to shop, it is mostly to sell to others and most especially for us, her kids (kid pa ko .. haha). The last time I bought clothes for myself was in 2005.

Emotional - She cried when she was in Disneyland with 2 of my siblings because she felt the fun was not complete without me, my Dad and my other sister.

Traveller - She loves to travel and be with the people she loves.

Caring - She was so worried when I had dengue over a year ago and JJ had hernia. To think that I felt ok and wasn't that much worried. She saw to it that we were well-cared for.

Supportive - She fully supports our decisions, especially with my sisters either studying or working abroad or me deciding to stay here and study law.

Loving - With all the things she has done for us, there no better reason than because of her love for us.

We are so proud of our mom.

From being born in Bohol, growing up in Calinan and washing her clothes by the river, moving to Agdao, marrying my Dad, bringing us into this world and just being that amazing woman that she is :)

Happy Mother's Day!

The End of an Affair

2 months ..

I never expected it to happen in the first place. I never expected it to last for more than a month. Though after some interviews, the period to beat was 3 months. Too bad, the affair ended midway.

Yes, the truth has to be told. After 2 months of being privileged to be "unlimited" with my Globe mobile number, the glitch in the system seems to have been corrected. Oh, well.

I am not sure how it started. But I remembered that it was weird that I cannot check my balance by sending a text message to 222. I have to call 222 to do that. That's when I noticed that whenever I sent a message to another Globe subscriber, hindi naman nababawasan load ko. Days, weeks and a month passed. I just had to reload so that I can send to other networks.

Anyway, that was a privilege and not a right. Who am I to complain then?

But it is quite hard letting go. It is quite hard to come to the realization that such an affair ended.

Emote na kung emote .. haha :)

Now, the playing field is fair .. hehe. And I am back availing of Sulitxt or Unlitxt or Everybodytxt or watchamacallit whenever I think it would be to my advantage.

Anyhow, thanks Globe for such an affair to remember :)

What's Going On?

As usual, I am again on this mode of blogging some stuff that are going on in my so-called life ...

Summer for me officially started after we had our last exam last May 3. Afterwhich, I got to attend a birthday party for my friend's son. I was happy since we were able to catch up with stories and I got to meet Barney again in person .. haha!

Busy may be an understatement. But yes, I have a lot of stuff to do over the coming weeks for law school. Just goes to show how much I am so into law school .. haha. The only thing that bothers me if I will be able to accomplish all the tasks I committed to. Go! Go!

Hai .. hindi pa ako naka-beach and to think its summer. And to think na summer, medyo umuulan din pag-gabi dito. Pero ok lang kasi nasa bahay lang naman ako. So, normal .. haha

Good thing nakapag-sine na ako. I got to watch Iron Man with classmates and Robert Downey, Jr. fits the role jud. I am so happy I got to watch in a cinema after 6 months .. 6 months! Imagine, 3 years ago, almost every week I get to watch a movie sa sinehan. Tapos, ngayon, after 6 months .. haha.

Siguro abuso if gi-showing ang Street Kings this week. Hehe .. pero sana naman nagsabi iyong taga-SM na hindi pa pala showing. Nagtawag pa talaga ako if showing and anong oras. Wala pa man pala. Hindi man rin sounds like kasi walang movie na same ang schedule sa sinabi sa akin. Late na gani ang Davao sa ibang sine, mali-mali pa ang information .. hehe. At least, naka-hang-out .. haha!

Until then!
