750 days

..approximately from the time Pitt and I decided to be an "us".


Happy 25th my Chubbykins!
I miss you all the time!
I can't wait to be with you!

Bip bibi bip bip

I have this habit of making up names for people that are close to me. It's not an entirely new name but it's like a pet name. It's a name only I can use. 

I also have a preference for name ending with an "ie". sounds cute. I like cute.

I haven't thought of a name for my parents. I find it quite improper. Ü But I do have pet names for my siblings. They are in order of appearance into the world:
Tin - Teenie Weenie
Con - Connie Bonnie
Kat - Kattie Battie
Charlie - Bibster Boy

You might be wondering why Charlie has a different pet name. First, because he's our only brother which makes him a little bit more special (this is unintentional I assure you).

Bibster Boy evolved from the term "bad boy", which I always called him when he did mean things to us or refused to follow orders (as the eldest you do get some privileges).

From bad boy, it became B boy (B for bad). Then it became Bibs (merging the two "B's" into one), then finally Bibster Boy, because it sounds cuter that way.

A few drops of water barely trickled from the faucet upstairs. I decided to take a shower downstairs instead. Lately, water has been scarce during the night even with the pump turned on.

As I was taking a bath, I heard a soft knock on the door and replied a hasty "lapit na!". A reply came in a form of a grumble. Must be Charlie. He hates it when we beat him to the bathroom.

I was out in two minutes and was climbing the stairs when I saw a foot peeping from the upstairs bathroom. What a great time to pull a prank. I slowly crept to the top of the stairs and shouted "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibs!"

I got the shock of my life! A familiar face confronted me. But it was not Charlie...

I managed to sing song "Bip bibi bip bip" all the way to my room. Not exactly the best way to save face. Good thing Dad's a good sport and never mentioned it to anyone.

And yeah, Con and Kat laughed so hard after I told them.

i'm dreaming of a...

...FUDGE TRUFFLEBURGER! (i bet you sang!)

if you haven't heard of it, head over to Sebastian's. Ice cream = love.

I've always seen it at Podium but never really got curious to try it. So yesterday after having dinner with my family at Italianni's Trinoma, I suggested that we try it out.

I ordered the Fudge Truffleburger. From the outside, it looked like a giant chocolate truffle. Chocolate powder covered the entire chilly burger. The cookie sandwich was crunchie and chewy at the same time with a very generous serving of vanilla ice cream inside. After a few bites, fudge started to ooze from inside the ice cream. Mmmmm...

Kind of pricey at 120/ice cream sandwich but definitely worth it. I can't stop thinking when I can allow myself this indulgence again. Maybe next payday.

Signs that you're outrageously missing your boyfriend...

...you automatically type "i love youuuuuuu!" and press send when a message pops up in your messenger without looking at the name of the sender.

good thing it was one of my girlfriends on the receiving end. :)

do what your body tells you to

life will be better if you do. :)

what to do on a rainy day tip #1: do some general cleaning!

no more getting lost in narnia! :)

you should have seen what it looked like before. notice how half of the cabinet is occupied by bags? that's what you get for having 5 women in the family.

the oyster strikes back

according to my good friend ava, who texted me the answer to the question in my previous entry, OYSTER stands for Out-of-school Youth Serving Toward Economic Recovery. The word "pulis" is attached because they were deployed by the Manila Police Chief Pedro Bulaong. (for that she gets a special prize! whopee!)

but something still bothers me. if they are OSYs then how come a lot of these oysters are old? do OSYs also include those on leave from taking up masters or doctoral degrees? hihihi. Or does the term "youth" include people up to the age of 99?

Pulis Oyster

does anybody know why they named them "oyster"? and why attach the word "pulis"?

i'll give a prize to anyone who can shed light on this. i'm having sleepless nights just thinking about the rationale behind the name...O_o
