kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman
kanina, pumunta ako sa interview ko. hindi naman ako maaga, hindi rin late. tama lang kumbaga. eksaktong 12nn kasi ang interview pero pinapupunta ako ng 11:30 para sa aking "briefing". nakakatawa nga kasi tinawagan na ako nung isang nag-interview sa akin dati, eh andun lang ako sa labas ng pinto niya.
medyo kinabahan ako. makikita ko na sa wakas yung mga "kaagaw" ko sa trabahong pinag-aapplyan ko. anakngtokwangpanget! magkakakilala pala kaming tatlo. mga batchmates sa ateneo. shet. pareho silang comm majors! at mas maraming experience! kinabahan ako lalo.
ok naman yung interview. wala pa atang tigsasampung minuto ang interview namin. nakakabwiset nga lang. feeling ko hindi ko mashadong "naibenta" ang sarili ko. wala naman kasi masyadong tinanong. corny. nasayang ang kaba at pagkakaroon ng period dahil sa stress sa pinakahihintay kong araw na ito.
pagkatapos ng mga interview namin, nagbonding muna kaming tatlo. haha. oh my gulay! hindi ko akalain na makakasalubong ko si roderick paulate aka kuya dick at si hero angeles in one day! haha. bigla akong nabuhayan.
una kong nakita si kuya dick at naalala ko ang petrang kabayo days. hehe. hindi ako makapaniwala na andun sya. sa harap ko. parang panaginip. siguro nakanganga ako, kaya rin napatingin si hero sa akin. wahaha. mukha siguro akong tanga. iba talaga kapag starstruck.
pero kung si marc nelson yun...hindi ako mahihiyang lumapit. hehehe. kelan kaya kami ulit magkikita?

cheeky girl

me with timmy and charlie (hiding somewhere...try to look for him) outside my grandparent's house eating ice cream and donuts
my cheeks are getting fat! only spent less than a week in the province and here i am. i should have known!
going to isabela is synonymous to my lola's mouthwatering dendelot, home-made bagoong and toasted garlicky tocino which i eat everyday! everything is swimming in oil! and instead of fasting i was fast eating! (i was always excused from fasting since i am underweight). unfortunately, this year's eating binge had a different effect on me. waah! better start exercising tomorrow. these cheeks need deflating!
BEING TWENTY-SOMETHING
kaka-relate kse ako...tsaka malapit na birthday ko. hehe.
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. Youstart realizing that people are selfish and that,maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty,mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next,secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused.
Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try andcling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you.
Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself......
and while winning the race would be great,right now you'd just like to be a contender...What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

easter vigil
visita iglesia
since we didn't wake up early enough for a trip to our lady of piat...maxxed out on lord of the rings extended version the night before...we visited 7 churches all around isabela. count them if you want. too bad i was never good in remembering church names. sometimes they looked too similar.
Roadtrip
i absolutely LOVE going to isabela! even if i have to endure my dad's rhythmic driving (a never-ending cycle of be-a-gentleman-and-let-everybody-pass-first mode shifting to everybody-get-out-of-the-way-coz-im-a-racing-maniac mode). this is accompanied by systematic honking and accentuated by my mom's shrieks. on the other hand, my siblings and i try to concentrate on this little game we call "who's gonna puke first". maybe this year's winner won't be mommy...hehehe. only half of the family is going - dad, me, con and charlie since we are not gonna fit in the CRV. the van's insurance expired! mommy, tin and kat have to stay home due to their "hectic" schedules. whatever! hehe.
took lots of pictures of the sun rising. most of them turned out... to put in simple words...bad! well, the car was moving for crying out loud!!! but there were some that turned out ok. yehey.
hahaha!
natawa ako dun ah. hehe. tamad pa ako mag-update about my trip to isabela kaya eto muna ang inaatupag ko. hehe. yes! meron na rin akong counter! hehe. todo na 'to!
off to isabela
i will miss blogging. i will be off to isabela at the break of dawn. will be back monday next week. i guess this will be part of my sacrifice for the holy week. :( see yah in a few days!
Between a rock and a hard place
after going to a party yesterday, my mother and i discussed my "behavior" during the party. the conversation goes like this...
ma: (while brushing her teeth) hindi nyo man lang sinama si _____ sa usapan nyo...
me: eh hindi naman sya makaka-relate. (with matching rolling eyes)
ma: lalo pa yun. nagtatawanan kayo.
me: (exasperated) ok ok.
ma: sinasabi ko sa iyo kasi ganun din nararamdaman ko kapag kasama ko yung mga kaibigan ng daddy nyo. lalo na yun. nag-iilokano sila. di man lang nila naisip na hindi ko naiintindihan.
me: (rolling eyes and just shutting up)
i've been there before. too many times in fact. out-of-place i mean. everybody does! once in a while.
it just pisses me off. why do i have to be the sensitive one all the time? is it my burden to take care of the outcasts, the losers, the ones that can't relate? i am tired. tired of trying to do good all the time. it is frustrating. it's like that Safeguard soap conscience bugging you all day. i swear i keep hearing voices. i must be going crazy.
although it is not entirely their fault that they seem out-of-place, because sometimes people can be really obnoxious and cruel and would intentionally exclude you from their conversations, it does not mean that you will just sit in one corner and be a loser by just accepting the situation. you always have a choice.
yes. people have to be sensitive to other people but you can't expect everybody to do that. some people don't care. i suggest, you take matters into your own hands. haha. be pro-active! stop pitying yourself and do something! (LSS from watching Britney videos!)

killer shoes

ang pamatay kong sapatos...hindi naman sya matulis. masakit lang talaga sa paa.
grabe?!? sobrang sakit ng paa ko. pano ba naman, nung isang araw papunta na ako sa interview ko. syempre! todo porma ang loka...pampa-impress kumbaga. eto ka! (bagong phrase galing kay mike. hehe) na-cancel pala interview ko. pampalubag-loob, pumunta ako sa glorietta ng maaga. nakakatamad na kasi bumalik sa bahay para magpalit. sayang ang Php20 na pamasahe. tpos baka hindi pa ako palabasin ulit. buti na lang kumain nako ng tanghalian.
suot ko ang aking "defense-interview-office" shoes na hindi ko naman talaga ginagamit. binili ko ata ito nung 2001 pa, simula nung mapadalas ang mga defense sa marketing class. hindi kasi kumpleto ang business attire kung hindi leather pumps ang suot na sapatos. eh ang alam ko lang gamitin ay tsinelas at rubber shoes. at hindi ko masyadong pinag-isipan ang pagbili nito kasi gusto naman ng mommy ko at kasya sa kanya. figlia pa ang tatak! sossy!
sumakay ako ng MRT sa Q Ave. buti na lang, bagong train ang dumating kaya tamang-tama at naka-upo ako. nakakainis pa nga eh. kasi may mama na tumapak sa sapatos ko. peste. bumaba ako ng Ayala Station. naglakad papuntang Glorietta. pagdating dun, nagmasid-masid. ang sarap ng feeling! magwiwindow shopping ako!
makalipas ang 2 oras ng paglilibot, pagsusukat at pag-uusyoso, napagod na rin ako. nagsawa na ako sa pagsusukat sa mga damit at sapatos na hindi ko naman mabibili sa ngayon. bukod sa wala akong trabaho, hindi rin ako makapag-withdraw ng pera. ang bulok kasi ng bangko ng huling opisina ko. sus. 5 lang ata ang ATM machine nila sa buong Metro Manila.
naiinis na rin ako kasi wala akong mahanap na bagay na regalo sa isang kaibigan. naisip ko tuloy tumambay muna sa tower records/powerbooks. naroon kasi ang dalawa sa pinakagusto kong gawin...ang magbasa at makinig/kumanta sa musika. mainam din kasi itong meeting place. akalain mo, nakatagal ako ng isang oras na nakatayo at nakikinig sa mga CDs habang nagbabasa. halos lahat ata ng pwedeng pakinggan pinakinggan ko talaga.
buti na lang dumating na ang kaibigan ko. nagmumukha na kasi akong tanga dun na sumasayaw kasabay ng chill-out project CD. feeling ko kasi nasa beach party ako sa bora. hahaha.
pagkatapos nun, naglibot-libot pa kami. hinahanap kasi namin ang sasakyan namin papunta dun sa opisina ng isang kaibigan na balak naming gulatin. napadpad tuloy kami sa greenbelt. bumigay na ako. hindi ko na talaga kaya. pinalipas namin ang oras ng nakaupo sa mga higanteng upuan sa gitna ng mga tindahan. hay, sa wakas!
di nagtagal kinailangan na ulit maglakad papuntang glorietta. gutom na kasi kami. eh medyo mahal ang pagkain sa greenbelt. can't afford. ayun. pagkatapos nakipagkita na sa mga dapat makita.
nakauwi ako ng mga 11pm. nakakatakot. walang katao-tao sa kalsada namin. naisip ko, kung may sumusunod sa akin at mangra-rape, tiyak hindi ako makakarating ng malayo kapag tumakbo ako...sa taas ba naman ng takong ko! at least pwede ko naman gamitin pamukpok yung takong ng sapatos. hehe.
sa palagay ko nga, sobra ang pasasalamat ng mga paa ko nung hubarin ko yung sapatos. parang nabuhayan ulit sila. dumaloy na ulit yung dugo!
nakakapagtaka talaga kung paano nagagawa ng ibang babae na magsuot ng pagkatataas na takong buong araw...dahil ba sexy tingnan? o kailangan lang ng sanayan?
my imaginary boyfriend is ALIVE!!!
let me just say that this all started out because of a nice photo...you know. one of those pictures you take that you just can't let go because either you really look pretty, you like the people you are with, or the background and effects are just too good to go to waste.
then it turned into curiousity slash almost-obsession due to a bet with a certain person whom i shall not name. hehe. it was a great idea! having a "pretend" boyfriend i mean. i was amused at the various reactions.
some were happy. others were shocked. a few people couldn't believe it...hindi raw kami bagay.
i guess we weren't such good actors. hehe. blame that on me and my poor acting-convincing skills. haha. i felt like a celebrity. feeler! it was fun knowing other people are talking about you (naks! center of attention), trying to guess the truth, us playing the lets-pretend-we-are-more-than-just-friends game.
then, my sister just had to comment...nagpapaselos ka lang eh. that hit me. why am i even doing this? meron nga ba akong pinapaselos? sino? if not, then why go through this? is this what i do now for fun?
i guess i'm just curious. curious how people will take it. curious how i will take it. i guess i find it weird. you know how you get used to one thing and you suddenly find yourself lost. losing grasp of something you thought was for you. trying to find your way again.
shet. drama ko na naman.

whattafriend!
bakit ganun? may mga tao talaga na kahit anong gawin mo, hindi mo kayang tanggapin. kahit anong pilit mong sabihin at itatak sa utak mo na nagbago na sila, na nagkamali ka ng husga, bumabalik at bumabalik ka pa rin sa lumang pagkakakilala mo sa kanila? naiisip ko tuloy na totoo yung kasabihang "first impressions last".
may isa akong kakilala. hindi ko masabing kaibigan ko na talaga siya kasi hindi pa malalim ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya. at hindi pa ako handang magtaya para sa kanya. may pagka-weird. outrageously weird sa unang tingin. super makulit. mahirit. nangunguna sa balita. may pagka-over helpful. sumusulpot na lang kung saan-saan. masayahin.
ok naman ang description diba? pero ewan ko ba. may something weird talaga. nung isang linggo ko pa ni-resolve na magbago ng trato sa kanya. part ng aking "changing into a new leaf" mode. naisip ko kasi baka wala lang nagbibigay ng chance sa kanya. baka lagi na lang napapangunahan ng "first impression". (may pagka-redundant ata ang sinabi ko...) naging ok naman ang experience. hindi naman pala siya ganun ka-weird. medyo lang. hehe. pero lahat naman ng tao weird diba? ano ba ang normal?
pero bakit ganun. nung isang araw. nakasama ko siya. hindi ko mapigilan na bumalik sa dati. parang yung progress nung nakaraang linggo, nawala. sobrang nagui-guilty ako. feeling ko hindi ko ginawa yung tama. pero naiinis din ako kasi hindi siya kasing sensitive ng ibang tao in general. hay.
ang bad ko. napansin ko pa madali na rin uminit ang ulo ko ngayon. i am not as patient with people as before. ipokrita! gusto ko maganda ang trato sa akin ng mga tao pero ako hindi ko magawa sa iba. ang sama sama ko talaga! bad girl! *whapaaak!!!*

LOVE MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
Julia Fordham/Nina/MYMP
Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit?
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
So blame it on my heart, oh
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Heaven knows
Love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never let me go
'Cause even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Like the ticking of the clock,two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the ways it's done
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

it's not the pale moon that excites me...
i'm so happy! i got to see norah jones live! hehe. too bad, we got lousy seats. well, at least we were facing the stage and they had these big screens where you can see her up close. hehe. i absolutely love her voice....sayang i didn't review her songs before. i could have sung with her. haha.
rubix cube fascination

L-R: mackie, guiller and paul
spent the whole day today at GR, thanks to silakbo, i wasted another day just hanging out. hehe. at least i got to interact with the younger gabayanos. hehe. i have new friends!
while waiting for my sister at McDo (which aside from cashing on the fastfood business has now ventured into the parking business...capitalists!), the boys were having a session on how to "arrange" the rubix cube. still can't figure out how. probably because i wasn't really listening to kuya mackie explain. hehe. it was a good photo-op for the guys. haha.
taking the plunge
today, i made a BIG decision. i backed out from a job offer which i had just accepted (i am supposed to start working there today). i have deicded to pursue this other dream job even if the outcome is uncertain. (thanks to a certain kuya mackie, i now know one of my competitors. tough!)
the past few days i have been thinking about life in general. and maybe this has affected my decision in some mysterious way. (bigla kong naalala ang video ni Nina..."love moves in mysterious ways..." labo.)
just last night, i accompanied my mom to a very extravagant celebration. her college best bud's mom just turned 80 and they are giving her a grand party at Manila Hotel. there i was sitting at table 11, marveling at this woman's accomplishment...aside from having 3 degrees, she was able to raise 10 kids while juggling her business! i was quite amazed at the turnout. imagine all these lolos and lolas partying the night away. there was even this one HOT lola who looked really elegant yet sexy in her spaghetti-strapped, tropical-island inspired gown. i was green with envy.
fashion spotting aside, i was thinking, how were these people able to get to where they are right now? most of the people in our table were distinguished lawyers and doctors but they had alternative lives (some of them were golf enthusiasts, another is managing a business, etc.) i guess it all boils down to what your priorities are. what you are willing to sacrifice. and choosing what you want to hold on to.
