Hi hi hi hi hi hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really missed this lj. Dati ko pa gusto mag-update but so much is going on that I'm getting confused on what to write! Anyway, it's SUMMER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! Grabe, I can't believe a year has passed since last summer. I love love summer. Despite the incredible heat gain, summer is still the best! <3

UPDATE # 1: NEWS FLASH!!!!!!! Remember the Bora-fied pics I posted long ago?! GUESS WHAT?!?!?!??!?! WE ACTUALLY WON!!!!!!!!!!  PG IS GOING TO BORACAY! Hahahahah I really have to say this 1st cos I only found out about it a while ago, and I'm still in a HYPE! OMGOSHSJDBASDOIQDHGQWODGBQDQWDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BORACAAAAAAAY! XD I'm really excited about this because..
1. it will be my 1st time there,
2. I WILL BE WITH MY BELOVED FRIENDS PG WHO ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
3. It's only us NO PARENTS!!! ADVENTURE ITO!! and
4. it's BORACAY DUH?! :p PARTY! BEACH!!!!!! 293#@*&@
So sorry for the overly all-capped letters, I'm just really200000x excited now!!! :D

UPDATE # 2: I'm going to Mindoro tomorrow!!! It will be me, Troy, his family, mommy, and some of his cousins. 1st stop to the beach this summer!!!!!!!! I just bought a new swimsuit (a 1pc cos I'm not yet feeling confident weh :p) I'll leave early tom and come back on monday!

UPDATE # 3: No summer classes for me this time! BUT I am taking up voice lessons in UP. :) My mom convinced me to break free & have fun this summer. Puro aral na raw kasi ako. Dapat daw pag summer, masaya :) So there. I always thought that taking voice lessons would be a waste cos I just sing for fun. Pero mama said, "Ano ka ba, as if naman pag nagvoice lessons ka magiging artista ka na pagkatapos noh?! Gawin mo lang for recreational. Pang anti-stress." :) :) :) OKAY MA!!!!! :) I'm on my 2nd meeting now, and my vocal coach is teaching me Italian pieces, pangstretch out ng vowels. Nakakaaliw kasi pinag-isipan ko rin whether to take up Italian na lang or voice. So yey, hitting 2 birds with one stone! :D

UPDATE #4: I ran for Chairperson in our org, and I won :) So now, I'm ASAPHIL-UP's chair. Naks. Sounds prestigious noh? I'm proud of it cos I'm proud of my org. It's going to be hard work, pero naniniwala ako sa aking magaling na magaling na execom! hahaha! :P We recently had a meeting before, then May is going to be org-filled (Semplanning, Teambldg, Fab party, Induction blahs). Nakakaloka pero natutuwa naman ako sa pagpaplano at paggawa. :D

UPDATE #5: Holy week was spent mostly with my choir who I really missed!!!!!!! Medyo inactive/active kasi ako during the schoolyear. We sang for GoodFriday+7 last words & Easter. We also had our annual PAL-EGG-SAHAN!! There were around 320+ kids which were divided into 8 teams. Puro games, food and loot bags! Nakakapagod pero sobrang fulfilling ang feeling sa end :)

UPDATE #6: For our  4th year anniversary of friendship, Troy & I had a sparty day. That's sporty + spa day :D We went to Celeb, had a yummy lunch, played badminton and went to the spa after! This marked the real start of my summer. I had a really great day with Tboy, free from stress & other worries.

UPDATE#7: Other summer plans include: PPF Choir outing, and Zambales trip with BFFs+Daddys! Hehehehe :) Plus, I'm currently addicted to Facebook's Restaurant City. Please give me lemon, garlic, lamb, chicken, bayleaf, kiwi, mango, dragonfruit, flour, strawberry and cheese!

THERE! Grabe! I want to stretch out summer so I can DO MORE! Hayy :) For now, I'm just really thankful cos I'm experiencing so much. God is good!!!! :D

 

I get tired of things easily. I used to try a LOT of things (street dancing, badminton, table tennis, singing, theater, etc), get excited on the first round, then jump off to something new. I hated being too attached -- of loving something too much and failing in the end. This also shows in my choice of music. Whenever I listened to the radio, I frequently changed the station whenever a commercial comes up. I can listen to any kind: rock, pop, r&b.. it doesn't matter. I only wanted the music. When I met Troy, he only listened to one station. That was 105.1 Crossover, which was filled with old songs, jazz and "easy listening" music. He does not change his station AT ALL. It itched me to change the station every time a Manny Calayan commercial came up. He loved the station. All I could do was sit back and listen. Sooner or later, I learned to appreciate his music. Like jazz, which was difficult to understand at first, he & his music started to grow on me. Even if I was riding the car with my dad, I would switch the radio on to 105.1. There came a time that I didn't change the station anymore. I became happy, relax and contented. The same way I feel about him. Although, as I believe, things can change. He also learned to adapt my ways, and sometimes, we listen to 99.5/89.9 or other hip radio stations too. :P

He already knows about this analogy of mine. I just wanted to share this with other people, loveless or not. Loving someone means adapting to his/her ways. Sometimes, it may not be the music you like, but once you learn to be patient, it will be the music you LOVE. :)

I want to redecorate my room. Paint it & the works :) It's too... kiddie now. When I was in 1st year (or was that 2nd yr highschool?) I chose a purple wallpaper with a matching brown/yellow one.

I already have a design in mind. I'll paint it with hues of brown, with one wall with an added texture. Tapos the furniture would be "green", rustic, with color & a bit vintage. I already love my bed and lights. I'll probably change my purple blinds. Hopefully I can do this by summer *crosses fingers* :D

In other news, I'M STILL NOT DONE CLEANING MY ROOM! I started last Dec31. Tinamad ako yesterday. I bought "organizing stuff" today (ang fun!:D) but DI PA RIN AKO TAPOS! I don't know how to organize my plates. I keep on sneezing and sneezing and sneezing..... oh, and sneezing!!


:( I hate dust. I hate allergies! Someone clean my room please.

So here I am home alone. Sort of. I'm stuck here with my parents, older brother (who's a special child) and auntie (who's a nun). We had a christmas party a while ago, and all my siblings left along with the guests. Not that this is anything new. I mean, this happens a lot. It happens most of the time. I guess this is  the so-called bunso syndrome where everyone around you is old working. :P

Now I don't want to go about this entry being emo and stuff. I wanted to blog cos it's one thing I can do alone. I wanted to be alone and feel happy about it. Yes, it's a bit depressing being stuck in the house with nothing to do and no one to talk to... but I get used to it -- the silence that fills the hallways whenever I get home, the blue night light that emits from the dining area & the messy refuge that is my room. Sometimes I feel more like a dormer rather than someone who lives here. I really think I could live alone. I can cook, clean (when I feel like it), do laundry, account for my money (thanks to papa), etc etc. My parents raised me to not depend on them too much. It usually feels like they don't care, but I understood their point. Sometimes I wonder if this was what mama & papa wanted for us. We're not the closely-knit family type. We all went different paths and we seldom see or even talk to each other. Was it because of kuya JP? Or did they just wanted us to be independent? I really don't know. Despite the freedom, I somehow feel caged. Trapped in my own world where I give my own limitations. All I know is that I want to breakaway. Go far far away. Maybe even drown and get saved..somehow.

Being in the topic of independence, I just want to say that I hate Bella Swan. I just finished Twilight and I hate the fact that she's all over & clingy with Edward. I could just see all feminists roaring with distaste. It has that fairytale kilig factor (Edward and his shining, shimmering, splendid skin!) and the cheesiness of a Nora Roberts book minus the sex. The whole book was okay... even entertaining. Maybe it's because I saw the movie already (ruining the excitement)??? Anyhow, I'll just read the New Moon book and settle in for my final judgement.

I realized that this is the first time in this blog that I didn't type in a Merry Christmas! entry for everybody. I really don't feel the christmas spirit this year, though, I am happy. I guess this is my Christmas entry for 2008. I wish everyone had a happy christmas. :)
