home alone

...all my housemates left for Manila and i'm all alone this weekend...this is going to be fun...a housewarming perhaps for some close friends here in Cebu?

...or i can have sex like a pornstar without no one to bother me...yes?



...i'm craving for some Japanese tonight :)

down with the sickness

...i was alread halfway my shift when i decided to call it a day and go straight home...it was my first time to go undertime from work all because of this fever..

...last temperature check was 38.1 (so yeah, i'm literally hot)...i'll be skipping work tonight to take a full rest and hopefully by the time i wake up i'll feel better...if not then i'll resort to having myself checked in the hospital

...house arrest mode starts now...channel and web surfing combo coming up :)

moved

...i spent the last 2 days lifting packing things, lifting boxes, doing quick fixes and all that comes in between...yes, the art of moving - to a different place that is :)

...i now got a bad case of muscle sore and badly needs some pain reliever but it's all worth it :)

...i'm sure going to be an online junkie and most probably be back to blogging again since my new place got unlimited wifi and way big enough for me to do cartwheels in the morning



...ow, did i tell you my curtain's orange? or you already probably know that by now :)

175k book drive

...well, one thing interesting happened this week and it involved one thing i really like - charity work...it's something i don't get to do that often so whenever i get the chance i always make sure to make the most out of it...

...our company had a book drive campaign few weeks back and since all of my books were not kid appropriate (i'd be shocked if there's a kid out there who can tolerate few chapters of Wicked hehehe) i opted to just have some cash taken out from my salary and used it to purchase books for kids (i saw Alamat ng Lamok as one of the purchased titles bwhaahha! like WTF?!!! who would even bother knowing the mythical origin of mosquitos - oh well! hehehe)



...we went to i think the most remotely located school in existence like it was placed right smack in the middle of the jungle and i was wondering where those kids came from since i can't see much houses in the area...weird...just plain weird





...anyway, on top of delivering the books, we spent almost an hour reading some books to the kids from grade 1 to 5....it was something i haven't done before so the experience was really A+ :)



...if you take out the travel time and the effort you have to do to get there, i think i'd like to do it again :)

break

...i haven't posted anything for the last couple of weeks and that's because i don't have much to talk about myself lately...i'm such a bore sometimes

...i'll be taking some time off from blogging till i get something interesting to talk about :)

...i'll be on blog hopping mode for the mean time

dos palmas weekend

...WOW philippines mode one more time for me after spending the last weekend in Dos Palmas Palawan...i know that there is soo much too see in that province but i opted to stay in the island and went on full chill mode coz i know once i get back to work, its going to be probably the busiest 2 weeks of my life...one of those quarter enders yah know :)



...i won't go through too much details of things i did when i was there coz i'm feeling lethargic and i still have few episodes left for my "Lie To Me" marathon though one thing's for sure...i gained another few pounds just being there for the weekend (imagine a bloated blowfish heheheh)...see below :(



...and ow, did i tell you i am now in a relationship? love is in the air for me heheheeh

little help

...i'll be leaving Cebu once again this weekend and be off to Dos Palmas in Palawan...i don't have the slightest idea on what to do once i'm there...good thing there's Google and Facebook for some help



...now i gotta find my slippers i lost over the weekend so i can be all set for the trip

it's the climb!

...i'm now back in Cebu and i am super duper tired that i'm thinking of skipping work tonight and think of some lame excuse..maybe having a bad case of swine flu? yes? hehehe

...i got more than what i expected from last weekend's christening of my bestfriend's baby Simone....night before the christening, we went to some local festival and gatecrashed a family dinner (that of the province's governor hehehe), was a bit awkward at first but it turned out to be really fun (i now know how popular Jai Ho and Poker Face - they were on auto-repeat mode the whole time we were there)...capped the night with few bottles of beer and some fireworks display :)







...the christening was almost like a reunion of old friends from college and it was a very private event and was almost perfect (except for the bee that kept flying over our heads the entire time during the ceremony hehehe)...followed with a lunch party after and the must have photo-ops in between :)







...me and baby Simone :) as i've said before, i'm sure she's going to be as pretty as her mom :)



...took some few hours taking power naps (and some Facebook marathon in between hehehe - thankfully the guestroom has wi-fi and my bestfriend got 2 spare portables to use...i love the Viviene Tam from HP)



...we then had dinner with my bestfriend's family...it was soo much fun catching up with old friends over some wine and cheese and making up for those times we haven't seen each other...we didn't even mind the heavy rain outside :)





...who can ever resist this cookie mosnter? it's sinfully good!



...and before i say bye bye, i'll share with you this funny video taken last lunch party after the christening...talkin' about DEADMA! eheheheh

very happy

...it's almost 7am and so far i'm the first one to be wide awake from partying too much last night...i'm sharing this guestroom with the best friends i'm going to have in this lifetime...and i've got a lot to thank for :)



...i'm just super duper happy to be in this town, to celebrate my bestfriend's baby christening...and yes, Simone is just an angel and i'm sure she's going to grow up as pretty as her mom :)



...nyway, i gotta keep this short...i'm blogging using a Vivienne Tam HP portable coz my Mac's drained...my chubby fingers are not used to typing in these tiny keyboard...i'm a big fan of Mac but i should say that this baby is something to love...i want one heheheh :)

thinking

...i badly need some retail therapy today and some haircut but then again i'm thinking of procrastinating since i'm going to be in Manila in the next 2 weeks anyway..better do a one-time big-time shopping than wasting time trying to find something wearable here in Cebu...as you all know, choices are too limited

...if Zara and Topman opens up a branch here, i'll be happier...now i got to ponder if i'll do some shopping or wait till i get to Manila hmmmm

mama's boy

...mom was in town last Monday and i got to play the best mama's boy in the whole world and i got a Philip Stein for it (it's actually a trade, i bought her a new DVD player and in exchange a watch hehehe)

...i'm super excited this weekend coz i can finally get to see my bestfriend's baby Simone :) i spent almost the entire afternoon looking for a baby bouncer as a gift and finally found this from Fisher Price :)



...she's going to be sooo spoiled :)

almost over you

...i've been with you for the longest time i can remember and now it's time for me to let you go...not because i don't love you but because it's no longer working...you know most of my secrets and have been with me during my darkest moments (literally) hehehe

though you got bloated/fat the past few weeks i endured you for as long as i did...but now you've been a torture to my finger and i can't take it any longer so you left me no choice but to move on...



...thanks for the memories...you were worth every penny i paid you for :)

status check

...i guess by now i'm really sure..i am crazy in love bwhahaha...watch out for upcoming cheeziest posts ever hehehe...oh well, i still didn't know what hit me till i finally realized it this morning



...and here's a lil something to brighten up your day...the perfect theme song once i hit Pearl Farm (June 13) and Dos Palmas (June 20-22)...cmon' sing it with me bbs!



...bwehehehehe...heavy ang trip!

she always delivers the kill!

...this should be your new "Single Ladies"...i'm excited to see hundreds of versions to pop out in Youtube soon....who can ever forget those single gaydies

AH1N1 is that you?

...i'm having a bad case of flu and now i'm wondering why did i bother coming in to work instead of taking a full rest at home...i've taken some anti-histamines earlier this morning and it knocked me out in an instant and left someone hanging, waiting for my text reply hehehe sorry (you know who you are)

...my mom's coming over this weekend and i'm so excited!!! she's buying me my Philip Stein chrono (yeah, coz i can't save for it and can't afford it, so i need some charity work from her hehehe)

...and the weekend after that, i'll be heading to my bestfriend's hometown for her baby's christening and will have a 2-day celeb at Pearl Farm in Davao and by the time i get back to Cebu i'm getting ready for another trip to Dos Palmas

...i'm not the nature lover type but hey it's Dos Palmas...and i'm sure i'm gonna be wearing more of these type :)



...hope you all have an exciting weekend as much as i will have :)

rundown of the thank you girls

...i braved a rundown cinema in Colon yesterday just to see "The Thank You Girls" and i got to see more than what i paid for...i've been quite a fan of the movie even before (though my liking of it was based from trailers in youtube and few random blog hops)...i tried checking local video shops to buy it but it's not available and piratebay was not much use either...



...it left me no choice but to go to one of the most crowded places in Cebu and spent the next 2 hours trying to enjoy the movie with effort..i say effort because:

1. the sound system was really bad, it feels like i'm hearing an echo from somewhere and the subtitles are cutoff from the screen...all i can see is the top part of the subs :(

2. most of the people watching are not in there for the movie (what else do you expect from a rundown cinema playing adult films)...most of them are walking in front of the screen blocking your view from time to time and sometimes you really need to tell them to move

3. inside the cinema was really hot...no working AC..only 2 running small fans (that's my guess)...i almost got to the point of taking my shirt off but i realized i might get some nasty skin rashes if i do (those chairs looked like they haven't been cleaned for ages)

4. going inside the cinema is almost the same as walking into a dark alley not knowing what might grab you...it actually felt bit scary and i was stupid for bringing my Mac with me inside (another big no no)

5. to top it all, i got occasional offers from random strangers about me giving them head or the other way around and get paid for it (talking about a fallback plan hehehe)...i actually asked how much and got a Php250 offer bwhahaha (and i thought my value was too high ha!)

...although it was almost a horrible experience, the movie made up for it...i had a great time watching it and have few laughs in between (and i guess i was the only one laughing)...but i can't go back in there...it's enough that for a time i've experience what it's like being inside one of those places and get to tell my story :)

weekender and the wise woman

...being awake for almost 2 days gives you the perfect excuse to stay at home and hibernate it's as if you can still make up for those lost hours of sleep...it has been one crazy weekend, super tiring but all worth it..i'm just waiting for the pictures from the wedding so i can post them

...since i stayed home almost the whole day, i managed to finish reading "The Wise Woman" by Philippa Gregory (author of the famous "The Other Boleyn Girl")...the ending was quite something i did not expect...after all of the scheming and manipulation the characted did for her to survive and get to the level she wanted, she ended it all by having herself burned in the stake (i think that was the only way for her to get total absolution from all of her sins)...i won't go much to the details coz it will take me some time to write a serious book review and it might bore you hehe but this is something i would recommend in an instant if you need something to read :)



...went to the mall after to buy some star screwdriver (i need to fix my lock and i'm trying to play the handyman role hehehe)...had 2 shots of strawberry tequila from Friday's while waiting for a friend for dinner



...had some chicken gyro and pasta at Cyma then gelatissimo for dessert (it's quite frustrating though that they no longer have the wild cherry flavor available)...had some chamomile tea after and played around the cam trying to copy Wondergirl's infectious "Nobody But You" video



...watch out for the full version...soon bwehehee

24 and counting

...i'm now more than 24 hours awake (with few power naps in between) and i got a very long day ahead of me including a wedding i have to attend...i've downed 2 Red Bull and 1 grande Cafe Americano from Starbs already and i think i'm going to need more

...right after my shift yesterday, i went to Ayala to see one of my friends from CDO to have coffee and retail therapy...2 hours after, i spent the rest of my afternoon at the Shangri-la Mactan (which is totally not part of the plan) to see Maui (who's already enjoying the water)





...had few Mangoritas at the Cowrie Cove (their happy hour is a total steal) after their swim and went to Sutukil for some super carbo overloading dinner

...if i could only sing, i'll be performing this in the wedding later bwheehehe

falling slowly

...i'm dating someone and i'm giggling like a high school kid all over again (it's nice to get this kind of feeling after a long time)...and sometimes making the first move seems to be all worth it

...and i think i'm ready to fall in love again :)

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back


...let's play this one more time, shall we?

one more week to go

...did you guys get to see Kris Allen's "Heartless" performance in Idol last night? it was super duper L.O.V.E.!!!



...if he won't be in that Top 2 spot then the show would be useless (i lost interest in it the day Megan left)...he's already a winner for me and who knows he might pull off a Daughtry after the show


...can't wait to download the elimination night episode later and who knows i still might see Kris next week :)
