I made a promise to my self never to eat or atleast avoid junk food. And what did I do yesterday? Eat nothing but junk food. Dammit!
We went out today for some errands and ofcourse a little shopping! I was planning to bring the camera so I can take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms at the parking lot where I'm gonna work really soon but I was in a hurry and brought the wrong camera! No strict dress code at my new work... yay for me!

Talking to Angel again was so exciting I wanted to scream my heart out when we were talking about our favorite bands. "It's like the 90s all over again!" as she said. The last time when we were together was in 2nd year college? I think. And after that we never got to hang out again. I do hope that I won't be busy with work when she'll go snowboarding. I wanna go! Oh yes, she inspired me to write again. She's one of the people who believe in me and what I write and is really interested with my stories. Too bad I left all my stuff that she likes too read in the Philippines. All of them half-done of course... hehehehe. It's really hard for me to write with no inspiration, that's why I never finish them. I'll really try hard this time. Take things one step at a time and eventually really finish it! Whew! Sounds like a lot of work! Wish me luck you guys!

There are a lot of things in this world that I want to learn, secrets to unravel. Many creative writers in our time have written so much that we can't tell fiction from reality. Things that we believe in and even generations before us that know are true only to discover that they are
not.
Things I want to do:
1. Make friends
2. Go back to skateboarding
3. Learn atleast 3 new languages this year
4. Improve my Japanese writing and speech
5. Photography
6. Read a lot
7. Be in a band and sing my heart out
8. Be more organized with my thoughts and improve my writing

It's been quite a day. I woke up 15 minutes before I go to work and I just washed my face and brush my teeth and ran my ass to 7-eleven. It only took me 3 minutes so I was 2 minutes early.
Last night, a family friend told my mom that my grandmother collapsed because her blood sugar was too high. Aside from having diabetes, the medicine that she's taking for her blood really makes her blood sugar higher. And earlier this afternoon my aunt called and said that she's in serious condition so I'm really bummed. She's getting old and sick and as much as it's a part of life, I don't want that to happen. I'm afraid to lose her. She's been there way before I was alive and she's always been there for the family. It's really hard to imagine our lives without her. She's everyone's mother! Now that my grandfather has been gone fro more than a year, she is the only one that's keeping our family together and have been preventing conflicts from happening. She has done a lot of things for me and I would like to repay her kindness and I don't want her to go just yet. I want her to see the day when she could be proud of me and see that her caring and hard work was well worth it and make her realize that she means a lot to us.

Yipee! Pay day thursday!!! Sushi here I come!!! I am so proud of my self because I almost went impulsive buying. I was ready to pay the 3 tops that I picked, planning to buy another pair of pants and some pieces of lingerie when, lo an d behold! I asked my self "do I really need this?" and "yes, i'll be happy for now but how about the coming week?" so I returned them to their respective places and stopped my self from buying those stuff. Besides, I already bought what I wanted and in going to another mall was really not in my plans, it was my mom's. Those things will still be there next week anyways. So why rush, right?

I was fashionably late at work today and got a memo. oh well... I got a great response from my look today. I'm not sure if it's because I chose a foundation that's really for my skin color or my hair. Probably the latter. Because I always tie my hair at work and today I didn't. Someone even said that I got a "Princess hair" going on, uhm... yeah ok. I just blow dried it and let it down, that's it! But it's so nice that someone can see me as a princess... hehehe... Even the little kids liked my hair! Aaawww... how cute! It's just overwhelming!!! My day has it downs too but what the hell. As long as I look great, I'm fine. The people keep on coming back just to see my smile.

If you like rock and feel sexy at the same time, listen to Kjwan's Daliri and Twilight where Marc Abaya's fascination for Deftones is reflected.
Want to feel like an action hero out to save the world??? Then Humanda Ka by Sandwich is for you. I'm not sure if Marc was still with Sandwich when they did this song. Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!! Sandwich is the best!!!!! The band members have their own and interesting individuality Raimund the vocalist is a pure genius to the music society, Myrene the bass player is quiet, ass-kicking former NU rock jock, Diego the guitarist is a director/fashion junkie/critic and last but not least, Mong the drummer is also Chicosci's guitarist and Diego's room mate... well, that's all I
know about him for now but I still like him anyway! Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I really want to collect are real katanas but they're a little expensive for me so I'll settle for a cheaper collection for now. Nail polish! They're so cute in their tiny bottles and colorful and shiny and I don't need special skills or training to use it. But I still would like a katana, make no mistake about it.

Omigod!!! Tonight was the season premiere of Will & Grace and I laughed so hard, I think I lost weight!!!
It is so gross when other people, especially guys grow their nail on the pinky and the rest is short... eeewww! Even I don't have long nails. I only grow my nails when I know that there's a special occassion coming up and I have to dress up and stuff like that. I don't like fake nails... besides, long nails are so last year. Short bright nails are in!
I really miss my cellphone!!! waaaah!!!!!!!!!!

There are times when I'm lying in my bed how I bellow and cry from this stupid game
and my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
almost broke down, swollen
as I keep on digging my face in these colds hands of mie
heaven knows how embittered I am
Coz this angel has flown away from me
leaving me in drown in misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine for all eternity
how this angel has flown away from me
I thought I had the strength to set her free
I did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me?
I'm so tired
I feel like catching 40 winks
being up all night in this silver room
that puts me in a trance
where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning
and my eyes are hurting from these fumes I make
Still I light another cigarette just to past my time
oh heaven knows how embittered I am
Coz this angel has flown away from me
leving me drowned in misery
I should clipped her wings and made her mine
for all eternity
How this angel has flown away from me
I thought I had the strength to set her free
I did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me
***This is a song from Orange and Lemons that inspired me with the title and theme of this blog... support OPM!!!

I am so tired I just want to rest and sleep and the only thing that I can hear is the ticking of the clock and, where I see is nothing but darkness and I am isolated from the world and slowly drift away to a comforting slumber... but I can't!!! The TV is so loud and even if they turn it down it's still not enough (I don't want to hear anything remember!) and I can't even stretch my feet because I sleep in a small couch -- just imagine I am only 5 feet tall but I still don't fit in the it! This is a very simple thing that I want but it's not possible to happen at this time. I want this so badly that I'm gonna cry. There's this thing in my throat that hurts, the one that you feel when you are trying not to cry.
This is me 3 hours later after I wrote the first paragraph... yaaaay!!! I finally got my rest - and dinner... This morning at work, one of the regular customers said, "It's so nice of you to be here!" or was it "It's so nice that you're here" (?) Whatever it is, I'm really glad that I make people happy in my own little way. I think that a smile is like... coffee. It would be really great of you have it first thing in the morning and it just gets you going, gives you that constant high and gets you through the day!

Jaimee and Kyla are my closest cousins in the Philippines and during my last year there, we were always together. I know I love them. But now, I realized that I love them more than that. They are like my little sisters. I dream that if someday I will become successful in my own way, I will take them with me. I dream that someday, Jaimee, Kyla, and my son, Xander would be all with me like how a family should be.
Let us not forget my best friends. Vanessa, Cristina, Justine and Christian. I wasn't with my parents for almost five years. I'd be lucky if I see one of them for a few months in one year. And my friends were the ones who were always there to listen to me, cheer me up, give me advise, encourage me and support me in all my goals and dreams. This moving is a very big thing for me, the last time I talked to one of my friends was last Christmas, when before, we talk everyday first thing in the morning and before I sleep. My day would never be complete if I don't talk to them. My friends are the people whom I will cherish forever next to my family and more than my lovers. My life would be empty and boring without them. But now I also have to move on, I can't always look back and wish for the past. Yes, they are my friends but I don't own them. They have their own lives too. As much as I don't want this kind of change to happen, as much as this is hard for me to swallow, I have to accept it.
Part of moving on is meeting new people and eventually make new friends. I can't wait to have new friends. I really need one right now, someone within my reach. BUT I am not trying to replace my best friends. There is no one in the world who could replace them. They know me more than I know my self (strange but true), they know what is going on in this little brain of mine. Even my dear Jaimee and Kyla. They know what my silence means. They can tell if I am upset, hungry or just plain tired with just one look even to other people I am having this blank expression on my face and that's what I like about them.
Vanessa is my childhood friend who never change even if we've already grown, even if there were times that we lost touch, she's always the same when we see each other again and she's always there to listen and accept the crazy things that I have done. Cristina is my personal psychologist, she is just overhwelming to talk to, she is very sweet and thoughtful and in the short time that we've spent together before the crazy college life, we've made a lot of memories and crazy promises, I could just smile when I think of her. Justine -- I can't just describe her with one word. She is also like a sister to me, the whole family knows her. I remember the first time that I saw her, she was my classmate in third year highschool and I was being a snob to her but she was still kind to me. How could you resist a person like that?! She is the only person in highschool, and in my life that I never lost contact with. She is the most humble and down-to-earth person that I've ever known in my life. You would be a complete idiot if you make her angry because she is a very calm person. Last but not least is Christian.Most of the time we're just being kids when we're together. If one day I wake up with a crazy "what I want to be when I grow up" moment, he doesn't only listen or support me, he also wants to fulfill it with me. We planned a lot of things together. Things that we'd do when we're both free to do whatever. Things to look forward to in the future. We also have short term "goals," we planned A LOT of things and it's funny how we never got to do them and we both know why it never happens. So these are the friends that I've made in my 21 years of existence so far, not a lot but worth keeping.

Sometimes people get caught up in their own world that sometimes they forget to use their common sense. Like blogging for example, someone said that it is getting popular and she has to call it something. Hence, the word "blogsting." How stupid is that?! Like, if "texting" is called as such, she would call it "blogsting." I actually wanted to comment: "It's called blogging you idiot!!!"
That is so her. This is how the girl grew up after all these years. I remember when we were in third grade it was Vanessa, her, and me. We were in a spelling contest (how cute!), Vanessa won first place and I was second and she didn't win at all and when we were at the school canteen, she was crying! Haha! It was just a silly contest! I was very happy for Vanessa and we celebrated using some of her prize money… Ah, those were the days. Vanessa is now a nurse and last time I heard from her was two weeks ago and I think that she got promoted. Me, I am starting a new life… what more could I say. And Ms. Blogster, she is still out there creating dufus terms that already exist… duh!
