It's My Birthday...

and I'll cry if i want to...
and laugh if i want to...


woke up late..I think it was already afternoon, yesterday was such a fun night but also exhausting...we went out to eat at Little Asia then had a blast at Music 21 where we sing our heart out, although the time we waited before we could get in was so long...but all in all it was fun and yup, I went home of course, late almost 1:30 am...


Then today...we went swimming, I swam for like, 3 hrs, it was a good feeling, I did a few laps and somehow feel the water. After that went to eat and it was totally exhausting day, but hey I'm not arguing...after all it is my birthday! Yuppie...thanks for everyone who greeted me REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Job Hunting...

Tomorrow would be the day when I first step in the real world and really hunt for a job, right now I am in the "printing my resume" mode wherein I have to check if what I'm doing is correct and what I'm printing will be picture perfect and when the interview hit me, I would be able to answer something and well, hopefully get accepted!



I was watching "Thirteen Ghosts" this afternoon, once again , and this time I was able to spot, Tony Shalhoub (The Monk), who was potraying a fatherly role in the movie. It was nice to see a deifferent point of view of Mr. Tony. I really like him for his tv series, The Monk, which I always watch and would always look forward to, truly it is a series that is both intelligent and with substance! Hail to the producer and writers!

OJT, Movie, Pizza, Driving,

Yesterday was one hectic day...my feet were exhausted! Too damn exhausted because I was wearing heels. Darn heels! Anyways, we went to g4 not to shop,but to look for a job (not the permanent job) but for our school's thesis. Which is so difficult, I walk like, a million miles! grr....I could hear my feet crying in pain!


Anyways after that we went to watch a movie (aaron, elouise, jr, me) supposed to be watching different movies because I already have seen starsky and hutch...so jr and i ended up watching School of Rock which is way beyond hilarious, pardon me for my attitude, but I easily laugh and CRY at movies....so don't blame me if one day you'll be sitting with someone who easily cries or laugh her heart out. The movie is really good, Jack Black is awesome! I love the kid drummer he is so cute and cool ( i got a new crush!) haha... after we went to ate PIZZA (i've been craving for it for the past few days, thank god we ate pizza!)


Home...I drove myself home...yup, I was able to go home by myself and it feels GREAT! Now, if only i could park without hitting any post...

Confession of a DRAMA Princess (INFP)

YOU'RE AN INFP!


As an INFP, you are Intraverted, iNtuative, Feeling , Perceiving.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition.


This is defined as a NF personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Idealist (Identity Seeking) type, and more specifically the Healers or Idealist|


As a weblogger, you have wonderful words to express your feelings because of your idealism. Because you don't like conflict, you may be likely to make one list of links and leave it for a long time without updating for fear of offending.


Just seen "Confession of a Drama Queen" it was an Okay movie, not that you'll love it so much, but still you'll appreciate the life of Lola, I love her style because it is uniquely her's no one can copy it...I love to be able to act someday...maybe in broadway? (AS IF!) I need to learn acting and singing first....


Grabe Cherry and I ate our heart out...pig style! haha...just kidding...actually it was a great day today..at least i left home for it was boring in here...went out to stretch out my feet, stomach, and my money! haha....

Survivor *spoiler*

Okay, the voting that was done today was as expected...if you don't want to know the winner of the survivor as my friend had said..don't read this entry...but in case you wanted to know..well, highlight the name if you want to know...but don't if you dont want to...



AMBER




did won, she and rob was the last two survivors, i think, as my friend had told me. Anyways I dont know if this is true, but if it is obviously evident right now...


I was supposed to go and see Van Helsing today, but unlucky me! I have no car and no way to go..my parents won't allow me to take the MRT at this late time so I have no choice but to stay home...maybe I'll watch it tom with my sister? I sure hope I can borrow the car...OH GIVE ME THE CAR NOW!



Currently feeling: bored (as usual)

Love Poem


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints-I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sonnets from the Portuguese, 43

Van Helsing

was a great movie...I really like the movie and the plot although the ending is a sad one (well at least VAN is alive) haha...such handsome guy... *sigh*


Anyways, as soon as I got back I text my cousin and yes, it is confirmed, we are going to Tagaytay next week (yuppie!) finally i needed a vacation before entering the real (class) world again! Whew! I have a test on Tuesday at a company and I'm sort-of excited and afraid since it is the day after the election (that means it is really a chaos) here in the Philippines. Wonder who will win?

Survivor Finale

AMAZING! I love how Big Tom poured his heart out, offered his hands (o0pss...make that unoffered!) to Rob. The engagement thing between Rob and Amber...the love affair of Jenna and Ethan (wow!) I love Ethan... The way Lex hated Rob (I hate him too) and I can't believe that Amber gave the car to Shii Ann...Although she deserves it for playing as hard as she could being left alone and outnumbered. I can't wait for another Survivor who can take home the million dollars by the people voting on the net and on text. if you want to participate click here: (remember to vote for ETHAN!) haha...


Vote HERE



More survivor soon..wonder where it will be next? Any idea anyone?

Drugged. Sleepy.

Yup, my eyes can barely see the keyboard let alone the screen...I want to sleep it is just that I just finished eating pizza so I can't sleep need to let that food digest down first...


I'm sick that is why I ate a medicine pills and that is why I feel so sleepy right now, the tablet is causing me to fall asleep...damn...Pamela is having so much in thailand... I wish she could bring *pasalubong* to us!


Jersey Girl is a good movie, I cried mostly on the ending parts...it was a nice father-daughter thing...go watch it with your family because it sure can touch someone...


I'm excited my cousin is coming to tomorrow to sleep over because on Friday will be going to Tagaytay with my other cousins! I miss them so it is a nice new atmosphere to be with them once again...I'll be missing the computer too since I won't be able to log in for a few days...but details when I get back!


TROY will hit the cinema tomorrow! Too bad I can't see it tomorrow...as soon as I got back and have the chance I'm gonna see it!

Tagaytay Fun.

Just got home and really have this "tired-looking" eyes. But what the heck! I had so much fun and I want to blurt it all out!


First Day: I thought it will be cold, but NOT that COLD. Yup it was cold and I have a runny nose, so it sucks! But it was fun we saw the resthouse of my cousin and it was breathtaking! I love that each room is color coordinated...we stayed at the ORANGE room...haha...the garden is great and we walked each night that we stayed (you know breathe the fresh air that Manila doesnt offer anymore!)

Second Day: BUSY BUSY BUSY! We went to Tagaytay Highlands, ate at the ice cream parlor, we tried the JACUZZI (oh-ah!), sauna, and steamroom(so steamy indeed!) Then ate at this Chinese palace, where I was, once again, FULL. Oh did i mention I won 300? My sister won 400, just by playing Bingo (the rule: if we win, my cousin's father is going to pay us, 100 per game! We didnt even bring any money but we brought home some )

Third Day: Woke up and we went to a coffee place to eat, the pastries are really good (too bad we left our take out in my cousin's home) Then we went to swim! All night!!


Okay am back! and next weekend will be out again! haha...we are going to PARTY! with my cousin's of course before school starts... tom am going to school to pay my tuition and watch TROY (finally!)

In Love with lots...

Yesterday I went to greenbelt with my cousin to see Troy, and indeed the movie was great and it didn't fail my expectation. Brad Pitt was a total HOTTIE! The first seen he was naked and in alot of scene HE was naked...great tan, great body...WOW! Eric Bana was also hot and too bad he did *** in the latter part...Orlando Bloom once again showed his talent in archery and he was looking yummie too...Gosh, I thought by the end of the movie my knees would pick it pace up and be glued once again...how can i drive if my knees and legs are like jelly? They are just too HOT and GORGEOUS.... *i think im in love*


When I went home, One Tree Hill is now on tv, and my god! Both of the actors are also tasty...I have a crush on them too... after that the O.C. is playing and I got a crush also on the leading actor and the adversary...gosh when will this end? I'm so childlish...anyways...what can I do? we are surround by God's wonderful creatures....


5566's new commercial was great I love it!

Da Vinci's Code

was a book I found intriguing..most bookstores sold out of it and well, a lot of people I know read it. So there goes my curiousity...today I finished reading it...took me around 7 hrs to finished reading the book. I didnt bought one since it is out of stock, my friend was kind enough to let me borrow it. It was his first book, and he finished it for about 2.5 days, that is good for a beginner. I love the story, the plot, and the characters, especially the twist of fates..it is an amazing conceptualize book that would really make the reader think and at the same time on the edge of wherever they are sitting.


Yesterday I went out to see Dirty Dancing and the movie is great i had a crush on the actor!! He is so cute and looks like the rugged, next boy type (?) confusing 'aye? Check it out and maybe you'll be interested in applying to the 'learn-how-to-dirty-dance' program...I know I would!


Tomorrow I would be gone again, so I'll miss the computer for I will be back on Sunday...again, consider this one of my last entries for this week . Hoping we would have fun tomorrow and the days to come... shopping is one again since my credit card is back in action (don't worry i'll be good with it!)


Shout out goes to my friend Pamela for being gone so long and now back... pasalubong is a must!

Singapore Help!

This is going to be the first time I'm going to Singapore and it is exactly their GREAT SINGAPORE SALE! I'm so excited although I know most of the stuff will still cost much more than expected. Their currency is like $1 us dollar = $2 singapore dollar...how small is that? Ugh...I'm going with my grandmother and my friend so I'm really excited about it. But I still don't know the full 411 on the flight. Anyone want to tell me where I could get the best bargains in Singapore?


Here are few of my questions, I hope people would help!...


1. Is the Safari Night Zoo worth going to? How much does it cost?

2. Where can I buy 5566 merchandise and CD's at a cheaper price?

3. Shopping bargains at where? Besides Orchard road?

4. Night Markets are located where and until what time?



Thanks alot in advance!! Please help! i would higly appreciate it!
