Happy All Saint's!

Dearly beloved...

Oh my gulay! Okay, I just got that from KFC's commercial. (anyways, this is beyond topic but: the salad is good not that great but good!)

So I spend my day and yesterday in and out the house, we went to Roxas Boulevard and ate the night away while watching this two gay's doing lots of funny and some (well, actually alot!) censorsed stuff. But it was all fun, after all it is how they do jokes in here. I felt like I was in Laughline but cheaper and more for the public. It was really funny and the caramelized dilis of BLUE BAY GRILL was really delicious! You should go and try it...

The pictures below are from the series THE OUTSIDERS it is really a very GOOD series, I LOVE IT! It is currently on the top of my favorites...the actors are uber-cuties! I love them...I love love them. Oh, the story also is unpredictable unlike most series, in this series you really will cry in tears, laugh with them, fall in love with the characters. A brief background: they are a gang members...
Here are some of the sites that are available for you to see some of the Outsiders stuff: Theoutsiders 1

the outsiders 2

Anyways, it has 20 episodes, I borrowed the DVD so 10 cd's all very clear straight from China! Thanks to Cindy...

You should go watch it...it is really a must! I love it!!

So In Love

In-love


So in love..
yes, so in love...


It was really a moment of "love-is-in-the-air", okay, I am over-acting but well, when something knocks, it totally rocks! My crush added me to his friendster (okay, I'm too- pathetic - but I am in-love!) and I just hope he knows that..AS IF!

Anyways, it was once again a grueling day...and really it was totally BORING! I might as well, head to the school and study (which is way over me already!) but better than staying here at home. I'm having fun with Sim's Golf which I totally dig right now, and kinda excited with the opening of http://martini-lounge.com <--which I am part of it and proud to be!

My friend's so sweet, she asked everyone she knows to write something for her boyfriend since his birthday is coming up soon...so got to go..need to do it now, or never!

New layout up soon...

Yes, I am barely breathing..

Wretched week? -- so not! It has been awhile since I log on the internet, and yes I miss it, I miss reading entries and I miss everyone. I am currently in a computer shop (darn!) because our computer's monitor is *^&%&% get it? Anyways, my dad said that if the monitors damaged we are going to get a new one! (yuppie) we are going to get guess what? A flat screen..haha...so I am definitely looking forward to it, hopefully my wishes will come true!! (cross-fingers!) I can't show any pictures since I havent been able to log on my internet because well, duh! No COMPUTER, and this net cafe sucks..can't edit anything worth...

okay, the week was major busy..I wasn't even able to get on the gym, darn darn! Nope I am not shopping although I did some of that, but mainly I was busy with interviews and exams for just one company that after hearing what i will get into i don't think i can take the crap! Eww..work would be from Monday to Sat. then from 8 am to 5:45pm...really darn! So my cousin even told me --" I know you won't survive in that job!" Half true, but when i come to think of the benefits yes, couldn't help it but smile smile smile! But then...I guess I'm not yet prepared and don't feel like working -- yet... so whatever the result of this test, I would be both happy (accepted or not)

My mom is really going DVD crazy, we are now looking at more than 50 DVD's in just two weeks...damn...

Bought two new miniskirts which really shows that I love wearing one, but no top shirts since I didnt saw anything worth, but hum..I bought earrings and lots of accessories too..I am totally obssessed with them...

I want to change the layout but I couldn't...

Oh, we got a new digi cam! I love it! it is the newest from SONY and has 5 megapixels, i got the white color (it has only two colors available --silver and white) My sister has a friend who is selling it at a much inexpensive price, so if you want to order..just give me a holler! You know my number...and if you don't just leave a message here, CASH is a requirement, no cheques..

I just miss the internet and I wanna post much more ramblings...but I gtg ... Great book I am reading right now..

I went to Eastwood City and applied or not! for a call center called E-tel ugh...the service is horrible and terrible, I hate it! So I gave up and ending up walking on the fashion village checking out stuff, anad ending up buying some accessories and clothes, my mom was in the parlor and got caught there because we saw a girl having her cut and it looks so pretty, so my mom decided to get one too!! Pretty nice! We were supposed to watch 'Minsan Pa' because I think it is a good movie but ending up pampering ourselves!

Tuesday:

Who was almost drooling at her sight, yes she was pretty...but kinda snobbish, but she looks pretty! I like the shape of her face and features...of, I bought a pair of white kitten heels shoes, I love it with my matching capri or mini! But I still got this long list of shoes to buy...um..money?!?

Monday:
Suy Sing called me and wanted me to start work on friday...which I turned down..imagine getting only P 9,500 free lunch, and well frankly that is it. Unfair!!

\"Being Twenty-Something\"

Since I am 20, I think I need to share this out to other people who is also...well, 20 so here goes...

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. You start 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 and cling 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.

Send this to your twenty something friends.... maybe
it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in
their state of confusion.....

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!

Food Poisoned

Sunday Blissful day since I am about to go to the World Trade Center to shop...and while I was wondering around I bought lots of great stuff...and something delicious caught my eyes...guess what? A snow cone! so I bought some in strawberry flavor and look what happened to me? I was now in total illness cause by that dirty food...ugh...my stomach was crying and so was I. I went home earlier and wasn't able to have dinner with my parents, although I really won't be needing dinner at that moment. I was so sick, I threw up more than 3 times, went to the bathroom alot of times! And still am..so I currently am not going to do anything for these past few days as I am in a terrible condition. Too bad, I was about to go to the mall today and tomorrow...but gotta rest...because just after that throwing up and bathroom-relief thing, I was in a fever mode...38.5 was what the thermometer reads...oh my god! I feel so horrible, I couldn't even stand these past few days...but I am better now...but not that much..I am still in the bathroom mode though (eww)...
