magpakatotoo ka sister!!!

since new year is fast approaching, i thought what a great way it was to start the year by cleaning out my cabinet of a year's worth of junk. unwanted christmas gifts included. now don't lecture me on being a dear and appreciating whatever "blessings" i receive. seriously, how many candles and other whatnots can a person consume in her lifetime?

while going through some of my "collectibles" i came across a soda tab. i can vividly remember the day i got it through my friend alex. i had this huge crush on this guy from a soda commercial. since we were attending the same school, i saw him almost everyday. NO! actually, i STALKED him everyday. my friend offered to introduce me to him but i was too shy.

one day, i was at the cafeteria and my friend gave me his half-finished soda. i was ecstatic! i have one article that belonged to him! i remember drinking the remaining contents of the can... savoring every drop of the precious soda... imagining my lips touching his. what a fantasy!

i then proceeded to the girls bathroom to wash the can and hide the "evidence" in my trusty Jansport backpack to prevent my cousin from seeing it. i'm sure he would've made fun of me if he found out. i would have died of embarrassment!

i kept the soda can for a year i think before i felt that i could let go. well, i had to keep some part of it to remind me of that fateful day...

sorting through my junk, i also found the "engagement" ring that my EX gave me a couple of years ago. it was made of green plastic and had a little bear's face instead of a gem.

i remember the day he gave it to me and said "this is our engagement ring...eto lang ang kaya ko sa ngayon..."

i felt happy that day but at the same time i was quite annoyed that he gave me a plastic ring. aren't engagement rings supposed to symbolize your commitment to one another? shouldn't it be made of something more solid or stable to represent your relationship? i kept these thoughts to myself thinking how materialistic i am for having these doubts.

so what is my point? maybe new year is not just about throwing out the old stuff and bringing in new ones. it is looking at things from a better perspective. it is freedom. to be able to look at things and find new meaning based on the experiences we have accummulated through the past year. it is appreciating what you have and what may come to you. . .

so what happened, you may ask. the soda guy, it turns out, is gay! i should've known. and my ex? he is my ex!?! girl, don't ever accept plastic! unless its a credit card without limits! ;)

satan's lair...if i were you, i would run for my life before it's too late...Bwahahaha! as they say, looks can be deceiving. this might appear to be a nice spanish mansion...well, actually the house is ok. the occupants are the problem.

there she goes...there she goes again

i was having quite a good day. having slept half of the day after my "telebabad" session with ju and carmen up to the wee hours of the morning over their uhm ... lives. (these things cannot be discussed publicly. they might kill me.) until i receive a text from teysi asking me where i put the kits for the donors since she would be attending a rotary party this afternoon.

do i look like the keeper of everything?!? who does she think she is?!? just because she is my boss doesn't give her the right to disturb me during weekends. kainis! she does this almost every week! yesterday she called me just to ask for how much we sell the shirts! and the nerve to ask me if i was sure of the prices...she shouldn't have asked if she wasn't going to believe me. last week she called to ask me the prices of the cards. ugh!

i swear i'm going to wring her neck one of these days! she is so unprofessional! doesn't she know that people have lives to live?
