Aaaaahh.. It's been a while eh? I'm just so lazy using the pc cause its super slow. Anyway, there's nothing much to do at home. Everyday's just the same. It makes me really happy everytime I go out especially on weekends. :D

A visit to UERM

Arriane and I while patiently waiting for Erick and Owen (the guy in black) in Eastwood. This was last Thursday, Nov 17. They were just talking there for an hour I think while Arriane and I had nothing to do. We took pictures, went to Mcdonalds (which is just a few feet away), tried make ups, etc. Owen's working in Etelecare kasi pala. Afterwards, we (minus Owen) watched Harry Potter. That day was great cause we came from Gateway where I spent time with Abi then to Eastwood to watch a movie. :) Arriane saw Paolo Bediones and her girlfriend and Alex and Asunta de Rossi (sp?). I was with her the whole time but di ko napapansin yung mga tao around me. Sabi ni Arriane ang bulag ko na raw. Hahaha.

I just got home [Erick's home actually] from school. As I said in my last entry, I had my Anatomy exam today. It's really, really hard! Or is it just because I didn't study yesterday? Hahaha! :D We dropped Arriane to her condo last night and it was already 10:00 when I got home. While eating dinner [in front of the television], I couldn't get my eyes off Dawn of the Dead. Hahaha! I dunno.. I've watched that movie for the nth time. :) I guess I was just in the mood for thrillers last night. -_-" Before I knew it, it was already 12:00 and I haven't opened my notebook or book yet! :D Anyway, the results of our Primary Health Care I super long exam last Saturday came out a while ago. Guess what? I was in the top ten in our whole batch! :D Well I was top 9.. b ut that wasn't bad right? :) Considering that it's the heaviest and hardest subject in our year. Yay for me! :D I'm really proud to be in my section [G]. Several of my classmates were in the top 10 also. I'm going to meet Paul in Gateway tomorrow morning. We're going to do our group's RLE assignment. Well, part of the assignment. :) Haha. Our group suggested that we do the long part since we're both irregular students and both have less subjects to focus on now. So there.. I'm so excited to meet up with Abi this Thursday and she might sleep in our house this Saturday also. Yay! :D Erick and I watched History of Violence last Saturday. The ending wasn't that nice for me. I wonder what Erick, Abi and I will watch on Thursday and Saturday [minus Abi]. :) Most likely it'll be Deuce Bigalow on Thursday and Lord of War on Saturday. :) By the way, Nursing Night's on the twenty-second of this month.. so that's next Saturday. I'm really not that excited. If it really wasn't for the compulsary thing I wouldn't be there. I might bring Arriane with me. Carlo will be the Mr. Nursing candidate of the 1st years. Yay! Hahaha. Goodluck Carlo! We still don't have candidates in our batch though. Jen kasi eh.. Ayaw pumayag. Hahaha. Well I have to do something now. Bhuy! :)

Haha. Ilang beses nako nagaattempt magupdate, laging nauudlot. Hahaha. Nakakatamad eh. :D Well since I only have 3 subjects left and final exams are nearing, I don't have a single class for the whole week. How's that? :) I met up with Abi a while ago. I missed you bez! :D I had fun [as always] with you. :) Erick, Paul [Erick's friend], Abi and I watched 40 Year Old Virgin. IT'S REALLY, REALLY FUNNY!!! :D I really wanted to watch that movie since I saw that in Yahoo Movies. I'll have a 160-item exam on Saturday, 110-item exam on monday, and another 160-item exam on Tuesday. Haaay.. And I haven't studied yet. Good luck to me! :) Anyway, my birthday's just around the corner. Yipee! Haha. Well I have to go now. I'm s-t-a-r-v-i-n-g. Besides, kiara wants to type also. :) Ciao!


The song Ever After has been playing in my head the whole day.. and I'm tolerating it. Hahaha.

sept 15

Saturday: Nginatngat nung aso naming earphones ng iPod ni Erick. It's Arriane's fault, iniwan niya sa labas ng bahay.


Monday: Erick and I went to Megamall to check how much his earphones are. P1,200 pare. :D nagtapon lang si Arriane ng P1,200. We ate at Jollibee. Pareho pala kaming months nang hindi nakakakain sa Jollibee ni Erick. Haha. Grabe premiere pa ng Lovestruck kaya ang daming tao. Hahaha. As in. :) Since nandun na rin naman kami, we watched Long Weekend afterwards. :D


Tuesday: BAD DAY. I lost my cell phone. I still can't figure out where I lost it. I hate to admit it but most probably one of my classmates took it. =c I hope I'm wrong. Then 6:00 pm - 6:00 am pa duty ni Erick. =c


Wednesday: Ava called around midnight dahil dinala daw nila si Arriane sa hospital. She said "inatake" daw si Arriane. I thought it was an asthma attack. Hindi pala. Dahil daw kasi nagskiskeep ng meals si Arriane and malakas magsmoke. Tangina siraulo talaga yun. [Oo ikaw gago.] Tanga lang ang mga taong nagsmosmoke, lalo na yung gusto pa lang magtry. I hate hate hate smokers. Hindi ko naman alam na malakas na palang magsmoke yun. Pag nalaman yun ni lola or ni mom patay talaga siya. Basta wala daw siyang kulay and naninigas daw. Siyempre ayaw niya pasabi kay lola yung nangyari. Lola should've never trusted you to stay in that condo. Kasi hindi ka naman talaga pwedeng pagkatiwalaan. Mom knows that. Thanks to Ava for informing me anyway. :)


Thursday: I asked Doc Rabe [my Anatomy Prof] about what happened to Arriane. Malamang Severe Hypoglycemia [low blood sugar] daw. Anyway, Abi and I were supposed to meet up at Gateway a while ago. It was raining hard so sabi niya bukas na lang daw kasi babaha na daw sa kanila. :) Erick and I watched Sound of Thunder. Okay sana yung story kaya lang sobrang nakakatawa yung effects. Hahaha. :)


I WISH IT'S ALREADY SATURDAY. I'M SUPER EXCITED TO ATTEND TIN'S DEBUT AND PARTY WITH CLASSMATES AFTERWARDS. That would be so much FUN!!! :D

Wedding Crashers

Erick and I watched Wedding Crashers a while ago at Gateway. It was a really funny movie! :D We were supposed to meet Abi there. It's been 2 months since I last saw her! Abi and I were both really excited about finally seeing each other again. Unfortunately, her wallet got lost. We just rescheduled our meeting [oooh.. meeting. :) ] next week. Can't wait.. :D


Erick kept on bugging me to make him a blog.
Him: Mamaya gawa mo ko ng blog ha.
Me: Ha? Eh di ka naman mahilig magsulat ah..
Him: Bastaaaa..
Me: Tatamarin ka lang mag-update.
Him: Hindeee.. Basta ha.


Anyway, pagbigyan na.. Watch out for that. :D

They say when you reach the second year of your college you'll fully realize if the course you're pursuing is the one that's really for you. I'm afraid to be one of the many students who keep on shifting courses because they don't know what they really want to be. I can still remember when I was at Miss Hilda's office (guidance office) two years ago during our career assesment. Being a nurse wasn't really on the list of jobs that I would be good into. Miss Hilda told me that I should really think about it and try to consider taking up another course which my skills are more favorbale of (i.e. Accountancy, Business Management, etc.). When she said that, anger immediately grew up inside me. Trying to supress my emotions, I almost cried. Erick was taking up Nursing then and I badly wanted to be in the same school as his. Also, everybody knows that Nursing is a well-paid job especially in foreign countries. Knowing that my sisters and I will soon migrate to the USA, I will evidently have a bright future. "Bright" is even an understatement. My point is I got angry because I thought that NOBODY can dictate what I should be in life and that NO ONE or NOTHING (not even a career assessment) can tell me that I would not be a good nurse. And so I chose what I thought I wanted in life. I told myself that I can be whatever I want to be if I would just push my way through it.


Now, I am not even sure if this is what I really want in life. Am I just doing this for the ensurance of stability of my future? Am I taking up Nursing because our whole clan is so proud of me for taking up what they claim as the "wisest course" in this day and age? AM I JUST DOING THIS FOR THE MONEY? I mean, come on, there are a lot of Nursing students out there whose just in it for the dollars. Well I can't blame them 'cause in this lifetime: life - money = death. When I come to think of it, I also really want to feel the weight of being responsible for another man's life, the satisfaction of personally helping the human race. I know it sounds dramatic but it's something that paperworks or mathematics can't provide.


It's been REALLY, REALLY HARD studying at UERM. It's been REALLY, REALLY HARD taking up Nursing. Suddenly, I am not that happy anymore. When I was a kid, I always imagined myself as an office girl. A year ago, I imagined (and seriously considered to be one) myself as a nurse. The dilemma I'm now going through excruciates me. It crushes my brain. Again, I don't want to keep shifting courses and I definitely don't want to graduate old.


I need to figure this out. F*** life!

So boring. Our group's return demo was cancelled. Reresked na lang daw kami kasi kailangan nang umalis nung evaluator namin. Kainis nagpractice pa naman kami ni partner Wessa. Well okay na rin yun, but hanggang 5 pa kami dito sa school na walang ginagawa.

Wala akong masabi.

I AM GOING TO WATCH CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY ON SATURDAY. Huhuhu.. di kami makakanood ni Erick tomorrow kasi he has to attend an advisory class at 2 pm tom. Eh usually kasi may break siya every thursdays ng 12-5. We spend those hours sa gateway [ciempre pinakamatinong malapit], kain kami tsaka watch ng movie.

Arriane and I dropped subjects na which would not be credited sa States. =( Haaaay..

Cge next time naman ulit. Pinapakita sakin ni Wessa yung girlfriend ng ex niya sa friendster eh. Hahaha..

I was supposed to attend a general assembly in school this afternoon but since Macy and Jen decided not to come, di na rin ako pumunta. :D haha! Pat [our class president] told us that we're 'required' to attend. If not, we'll have to pay a fine. Yeah right. It's always been that way. Last sem, I didn't attend around 4 major school events and I got cleared at the end of the sem, without them asking for a single cent from me. P500 for major events and P250 for minor nga raw eh. haha.. :) Anyway, Erick and I watched Sin City at G4 kanina. Hmm.. It's an okay movie for me. :) It's a movie for guys eh. hehe.. Mas naenjoy ko siguro yung A Lot Like Love. haha! I'll watch that soon. :)


Oh.. In-add ako ni 'Ex' sa friendster. Yikes! I'll tell Erick about this tom. :) Well si Erick din naman eh in-add niya but I doubt na i-aaccept siya ni Erick. hehe.. I hope he'll not make a big deal out of this. You have no idea how jealousy eats him.. Good Luck to me!:D

My days this May was quite predictable. If not spending it at home burning my eyes in front of the television, I'm catching the latest money-worthy movie. :D Or if not that, fighting the unbearable heat of the summer by swimming in a membership club. It's fun at times but there are negative points also. Sometimes I get really, REALLY bored plus wala pa kong allowance. With Erick's birthday [6/6] fastly approaching, I doubt if I'll be able to buy the bag he wants in time.


We spent our second anniversary last May 2. :D It was a simple celebration though. We just watched a movie [not sure what movie] at G4 then ate dinner in The Fort [forgot the name of the resto]. :) Haha.. Ulyanin na talaga ko.


I attended Erick's Pinning and Candle Lighting at Mount Carmel a while ago. When we got out of the car, there was this woman whol told us "De Ocampo po? Punta lang po kayo dito para sa picture.." Then she handed us the receipt and asked for P200 as down payment for the P360 fee. It was a total of 6 shots. Later on, Erick and I were shocked when Ivann [Erick's friend] informed us that that was a scam. 'Di pala under ng De Ocampo yun. Ang dami pa namang students nun ang most naloko nun. Ivann was asked to pay P250 and the evil woman told her that the pictures will be delivered to their house. Erick's other classmates were told that their pictures can be claimed at De Ocampo. Grabe sobrang nakakaasar. Erick and I computed how much those people earned in just 2 hours.. it was around P80,000. Sabi na lang ni Erick and his friends na for sure, makakarma din yun., to think na sa harap pa ng simbahan nila ginawa. I don't know about the receipt but it's addressed at Sampaloc, Manila kaya ayaw na puntahan ni Erick. Grabe I can't believe may mga taong ganon kasasama.


Anyway, I'll update na lang ulit some other time soon. Ciao!

EXTRA:



cge na nga pagbigyan na. post ko daw to sa blog ko eh. suit yourself erick. [just so you know, I'm beginning to doubt if he loves this car than me. ;P]

Our Subic trip was great! Sobrang fun. :) Kaya lang mejo naspoil kasi sumama yung matatanda. Sobrang badtrip kami nung simula kasi si lola yung nagpasimuno kaya sila sumama. Hello? Alam naman nilang lakad ng mga bata yun. Ayun.. Sobrang nakakainis lang, ang KJ kasi. But they chose a cottage that's 20 meters away from us. At least they got our point. When we got home from a tiring but fun day, our maid told us that tatay called. Arriane and I were like "Oh? Bakit kaya?". We haven't seen tatay for 5 years already and the last thing we heard about him is that he now lives in Pangasinan. If he called, that means he's in Manila. We kept wondering if we'll be having a vacation in Novaliches. That house in Novaliches is where we usually stay everytime a magvavacation kami sa fatherside. Though the family who lives there is just our 2nd degree relatives, we were very close to them. We were thrilled to the idea of being with Ate Jewels, Ate Winchell, and Ate Arvie again. We were always together before and I can still remember when there was a big party and they made us dance Stop by the Spice Girls. Hahaha! Can you imagine us dancing in front of a large audience? :) It was really embarassing when I think about it. But we were just kids then! Haha!


Arriane and I found ourselves in that big, full-of-memories house on Monday [4/18/05] early in the morning. Yes, tatay picked us up and we were really happy to see him again. We were happy to see Ate Wes and Ate Winchell again. :) Arriane and I were shocked when Ate Wes and Ate Winchell told us the story why Ate Arvie wasn't with us. It's because she got pregnant and the father wasn't willing to take responisibility of the baby. Another surprising fact is that that man is Aldrin, the one Ate Arvie was gushing about 5 years ago when the bilyaran's still in business. The last time we had a vacation in Novaliches kasi open pa yung bilyaran nila and dun kaming 5 madalas magstay. We had crushes back then dun sa mga cute na nagbibilliards. I can still remember the name of my crush though hindi ko na maalala yung mukha niya. Mine's Gin, Arriane's Tyrone, I can't remember yung kay Ate Wes and Ate Winchell, and yung kay Ate Arvie's Aldrin. Siya pa naman yung pinakamabait tingnan sa lahat, hindi pala. Looks can be REALLY deceiving. Can you believe the guts of that man? When Ate Arvie informed him of her pregnancy, sabi daw ni Aldrin, "Pwede pa naman natin ipalaglag eh, if hindi mo ipapalaglag yanhindi ko yan papanagutan." Grabe! Tawag nga sa kanya nila Ate Wes demonyo eh! Argh. Naiinis din talaga ko dun sa lalaking yun. Ate Arvie's family isn't that well-off pa naman. You see, Ate Arvie and Ate Wes are actually our Titas but since they're only a few years older than we are, we just call them ates. Ate Winchell naman is Ate Wes' cousin sa motherside (Arriane and I sa fatherside) so we're not actually related by blood. And that house sa Novaliches is like a big, big bahay ampunan. :) Kasi most sa fatherside ko hindi masyadong lucky sa money eh yung mom and dad ni Ate Wes ang pinakamayaman sa buong angkan nila kaya yun.. sobrang bait nila Lolo Jesse tsaka Lola Lisa na pinapag-aral nila yung mga kamag-anak namin na hindi makapag-aral tsaka pinapagvacation nila yung mga pinsan and pamangkin namin na mga bata dun. So yun.. we had fun staying there din though namiss ko talaga si Erick.. :( We went home Thursday that week din kasi kailangan ni Arriane mag-enroll sa Friday. How I wish we never have to separate with tatay again. :(
I'll sure miss him and the fact that it'll take a long time before we see him again breaks my heart.


Saturday came. I spent the whole day with Erick, Arriane, Jen, Macy, Pia, Dane, Tin, Artus, and Carlo. Too bad Wessa, Karen, and Paul wasn't able to be with us that day. We had so much fun at Enchanted Kingdom! Yuck parang nagaadvertise. But we did have fun kahit na sobrang init and daming tao. I enjoyed they're extra-special fireworks that night 'cause of their 10th anniversary. :) I just love being with my friends! :)


I spent the past few days here at home with Erick. Oh yeah, last Tuesday nagpaxray na pala ko ng teeth for my braces. :) hihi. Pareho na kami ni Erick magmumukhang nerdy nerdy. I'll post pictures of Subic and EK trips soon. :) c ya!

Wow. Tinamad na naman ako mag-update. Haha. Almost a month na. :D Well obviously my 1st year in college is now officially over. Aww.. I'll miss my classmates. Ma-rereshuffle na daw kami next sem eh. Erick's finding a new school now because he has a subject na naiwan so di siya pwedeng magthird year pag di niya natapos yun, 1 year siyang mahuhuli. Basta something like that. Yeah summer's my favorite season but when I'm just here at home, boredom's killing me! That's why as much as possible I try to get out of my hole.


Wednesday: Oh my! I craved for books. Nabasa ko na kasi lahat ng books dito sa bahay. :D I wanted something nice to read. Here's how the conversation went:
Kristal: bi, punta tayong National Bookstore bili ako ng libro.
Erick: O cge. Gusto ko rin magpamassage sa celeb eh. Sa Katipunan na lang kita idadaan.
Kristal: OK.:) Para may mabasa na rin ako while waiting for you.
Ayun. :) After waiting for 1 1/2 hours, we finally ate dinner. Haha! We ordered A LOT 'cause we were both starving. YUMM!:D


Thursday: I spent almost the entire day at kabila [cousin's house]. We finalized our outing. Hehe. I was assigned treasurer. Haha. Dami ko tuloy pera ngayon. :) Erick came over at around 7 pm. Nanood lang siya ng TV sa kabila while my cousins and I were computing our budget.


Today: I woke up at exactly 8:15. Ate Weng and I were supposed to go to the market at 8! Haha. I guess I'm not the only one who woke up late. Grabe, sobrang dami naming binili pambaon namin tomorrow. And boy was it heavy! Pareho pa naman kaming payat ni Ate Weng. HAHA! Yay!!! In 12 hours I'll be on my way to Subic. :D Even though it's just Subic I still can't wait to get there and have fun with my cousins and of course Erick. Yay! It's going to be the farthest place we'll be into na walang kasamang matanda. Si ate weng na pinakamatanda and she's just 27. haha. While Ate Weng and I were on our way home she said, "Sabi nga ni Jonathan nasosobrahan na tayo sa bonding eh. Dapat daw magdisband na tayo." Haha. We just have these special connections with one another. We know that we'll always be close with one another.. till we get old. Awww.. Love you cuzs!:)


Just a thought: I am currently addicted to Full House but I just HATE the Tagalized version. ARGH. Grabe sobrang corny tapos iba-iba pa yung translation nila na naiiba na yung story! Lalo na yung 3 Bears Song! Sorry pero.. ANG CORNY. Pumapanget tuloy dahil sa kanila. Plus, ang DAMI nilang cinut. Grrr..

Haha.. long time no update. Well, I'm here at RM. I just got my permit for the Finals. I'm waiting for macy also.. but i doubt it if she'll come. I still have a class in UE Recto at 1:00.. hanggang 4 na yun. Bakit kasi di na lang lahat ng class namin dito sa UERM eh dito naman kami naka-enroll. I just can't take Manila's pollution na. I have been sick for 2 weeks na and I know pollution is one cause kung bakit ako nagkasakit. Anyway, I have to travel to UE pa kaya here's a quick recap of what happened or will happen in the near future. :D


- had our retreat at *tadaa* St. Michael's Antipolo. hahaha!:D Macy, Jen, Wessa, Karen and I had the nicest room in St. Michael's. Lucky us.
- had my first night out with my college barkada.:D well, only macy and jen made it. hihi. So it was just arriane, erick, macy, jen, and I who had fun that night. That was the start of my cough due to the life threathening second-hand smoke.
- I am now officialy rebonded. Joke. haha. semi-rebond lang no.. naiinis lang kasi ako dun sa dulo ng hair ko. I just want it straight na.
- We'll be going out on april 3 with arriane, erick and my barkada. EK kami after finals.. yay! can't wait..

I love u my baby..

I just had a chat with ma. This really broke my heart. =,(

These are some parts of the conversation:


akae1962 says:u know u guys might be coming here soon
kriztal0118 says:o? klan? [I'm starting to feel uneasy..]
akae1962 says:hopefully June or July [*heart crashes*]

akae1962 says:i can't wait to see u guys!!!!!!
akae1962 says:i miss u sooooooooo much! [i know! i miss you too but..]
akae1962 says:hindi na ako makatulog masyado
kriztal0118 says:eh yung passport mabilis lang ba yun? [i just had to ask this. erick always tell me "hindi pa yan.. matagal pa yan wala pa naman kayong passport eh.]
akae1962 says:yun ang hindi ko rin alam...how long that would take [*hint of hope*]
akae1962 says:basta nakagayak na lahat ang papaerworks para sa passports niyo
akae1962 says:all lola would have to do is get it
akae1962 says:or apply for it
kriztal0118 says:ah ok [flashbacks of erick and i in my head. tears started welling up on my eyes.]
akae1962 says:kaya nga yang braces mo iniiisip ko...asikasuhin mo da nitong summer
akae1962 says: pagdating niyo dito...i can't afford to have that done here...napakamahal dito
akae1962 says:that is if u really want and need it
akae1962 says:are u ready to come over here?
kriztal0118 says:what do you mean ready? [??]
akae1962 says:i mean kung nakagayak na yang kalooban mo? [not about this. please.]
akae1962 says:o puso mo? [i know. corny as it sounds. but it struck me hard. i am now officially crying. =,(]
kriztal0118 says:hmmm.. kailangan dba? [after several minutes of not replying. i finally managed to type these words.]
akae1962 says:very good
akae1962 says:alam mo kung kayo talaga...kayo talaga
akae1962 says:its not going to be that hard really
akae1962 says:sa umpisa of course...u'll miss him a lot
akae1962 says:pero look in the brighter side
akae1962 says:it would be for for the best na makapunta ka dito...and then kung kayo nga talaga...kapag mag-US citizen ka na...u can petition him
kriztal0118 says:ok
akae1962 says:dito kayo parehong mag-prctice ng nursing niyo...maganda talaga ang kikitain niyo dito
kriztal0118 says:ok. ma, i don't like to talk about it muna..
akae1962 says:ok


After that, we talked about arriane's course, nursing in US, my uncle's family, etc. So I'm sure that mom's not offended with my request not to talk about it first. I just know myself very well now. I know how things are better in the States but I just don't think I can leave my country that easy. In case you don't know, I have a problem with letting go of things with sentimental value.. even receipts of restaurants/fast food chains where Erick and I have been to. There's so much I'll miss here. I know I know she's my mom but she wasn't here, physically here, when I needed her.. during the most crucial years of a human's life, his/her teenage years. Erick was there. My mom left to work in the States when I was 13 years old, before my grade school graduation. It's not like I'm blaming her for not being here with us, I totally understand that. It's just that no one can ever deny the fact that Erick has always been there for me.. being my boyfriend, my friend, and [oh my God! why haven't I realized this for the past years??] my parents' substitute! We knew each other since I was in 1st year highschool.. but were too shy to talk to each other. We just got involved with each other when I was in 2nd year. Since then, though we had countless problems, he has always been here on my side.


I also haven't seen my dad for years now. The last time I saw him was during arriane's grade school graduation, a year after my mom left. My dad's a very good and kind person. Arriane and I know that the reason why he's not calling up or visitting is that he's too withdrawn and depressed with financial matters. We just can't figure out why does he always think that everytime we see each other, he should give something to us. I mean, we don't need that. He needs it more than we need it. All we ever wanted is to see him. You see, my dad's living with Tita Grace [our stepmom] and Rap-Rap [our little and only brother]. They just live with my dad's family [our lolo and lola and my other uncles and aunts]. They live in a squatter's area in Malinta, Valenzuela besides the riles. But don't get me wrong, they own their land. It's just that they're surrounded by squatters. My parent's love story had been like one of the fairy tales or teleserye ones. My dad being poor and my mom being an unica hija of a rich family. My lolo [mom's dad] didn't agree about their relationship but they let their love prevail! When my mom passed the CPA exam [my lolo's dream was to see my mom be a successful accountant], she rejected job offers and decided to just settle down with my dad in a convenience store in front of Frisco Market. Yes that's where Arriane and I spent more than half of our life in. Can you imagine us playing in a parlor shop [our right neighbor], in a drugstore [our left neighbor], or in a fruit store [one of our front neighbors]? That was how we spent our childhood days. See? It's really hard to leave all those memories behind.


What I'm trying to say is that my life had been a blast of different events [my parent's separation, having a stepdad, having a stepmom, my parents' problem with drug addiction, etc.], places [we moved 5 times already] and faces [I've met wonderful as well as terrible people in my life.]. It all happened faster than a blink of an eye. The seventeen years of my life is my own drama, my own teleserye. It's just that the four years of knowing Erick was the happier portion of my life.. most especially the last 2 years of it [2 years of our loving relationship]. Erick is a BIG, BIG part of my life now. There's no turning back. Our migration to the States is no surprise now but whenever my mom brings up the topic, I always encounter the same, familliar feeling of sadness. All I know is that wherever I'll go, even be it the other side of the world, Erick and I will always find our way back to each other. Whatever happens. WE KNOW. We're soulmates, we're meant to be. We already proved that.


I love you Erick... I'll always will.
(Please don't get angry with me na.. :,( )


Tomorrow's Arriane's Prom. Erick and I will drop and pick her up in EDSA Shang tom. We're going to attend Marga's Birthday also.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARGA!!!

awww.. erick gave me this. how sweet.. :) *blush*


VALENTINES DAY. :) just the thought of it makes me happy already. well besides that i see my favorite color (red) everywhere, it just seems that love is everywhere. when i entered the campus this afternoon, i was surprised to see different school organizations selling stuffs for valentines day. flowers, chocolates, donuts (yes, donuts.), etc. I saw different girls holding different kinds and sizes of flowers. It was funny how i told rina and marga how i envy those girls 'cause erick isn't really the flower-giving type of guy. It was two years ago since he gave me one. haha. marga helped me find a gift for erick. We found a nice shirt in Guess but I wasn't sure of his size so I decided to text ate shine first. After a few minutes, there's still no beep from my phone. I then decided to text ace about erick's size. He replied "medium lng sya ang alam ko..hapi valentines! ako large...hehe...jokelng...". haha! since the shirt marga and i had chosen was only in 2 sizes na lang, XL and small, i bought the small one na lang. The XL's too big he'll look like a hiphop jologs. hahaha! :D when i already bought the shirt, ate shine texted (is there such a word?:p) that erick's size is large. i almost freaked out at the idea that the shirt might be too fit for him. So.. i just bought another shirt in folded and hung in Large. He was really thankful for the gifts. And luckily both the shirts fitted and looked good on him. yay!


so.. that's it for today. happy valentines day!:)

gateway with my beloved friends. arriane, me, macy, pia, jen, paul, carlo [dayn's bro], and carlo's classmate [oops sorry i forgot his name.:D] hihi. studio pic? haha.

took this pic last feb 3 in rob east while waiting for erick. winnie the pooh!!! gonna watch this!:D

crazed. nakakabaliw na mag-aral! haha! shift na ko!:D

maxi, pat, marga, rina, and tatin. :) this is what you do in biology class.

Im feeling kinda sad kasi its saturday tapos 7:20 pa lang nasa bahay na ko. :( weekdays are hell and saturday's the only day i get to spend the whole day with him. well they have a pre-valentines family dinner kasi i had to go home early. i know that we see each other everyday naman but pag weekdays kasi more on school yung focus namin. :( haaay.. how i wish im with him right now. oh well..


anyway nagdate naman kami kanina eh so its okay na rin. errrr.. date ba un?:D haha! We watched Alfie in G4 today. I don't like the ending of the story.. he's just GWAPO [really]! haha! after the movie, we went to U. Summer just really excites me! It's my FAVORITE time of the year! I badly wanted to buy a swim suit na but i was with erick so that wasn't a good idea. talk about strict overprotective boyfriends. but hey, hindi na siya ganon ka-strict ngayon. i usually wear spaghetti straps nowadays [i just love 'em!:p] and di na siya nagrereact. hihi. [sana nga d na magreact] He also doesn't want me to wear above-the-knee skirts. Oh di ba? Tatay na tatay ang dating. hehe.. love u 'by!


wait nandiyan na si arriane buksan ko lang yung door namin.


HAAAAAY NAAAAAKOO!!! nakakabwisit talaga yan!!! sinuot ba naman niya yung shirt na bigay sakin ni erick nung christmas ng HINDI NAGPAPAALAM!!! nakakainis talaga!!! lagi na lang yan ganyan! BWISIT TALAGA!!! at sinuot pa niya yung sandals ko ng HINDI RIN NAGPAPAALAM!!! eh hello napudpod/close to sira-na na nga yung heels nun nung hiniram nung pinsan ko yun tapos ginamit pa niya!!! ANG KAPAL TALAGA NG MUKHA!!! favorite sandals ko pa naman yun! tapos buong day pa siyang nagpa-ikot2 sa UST eh di sobrang sira-sira na yun!! epal talaga!!! ipapadlock ko na talaga yung cabinet ko! PROMISE!!! bukas na bukas rin!!! BITCH!


wala na talaga ko sa mood. anyway tapusin ko na lang yung mga nangyari today. after U punta kami tower records.. one of erick's favorite places in the world. tapos take-out ako sbarro [my favorite pizza store] tapos take-out si erick sa auntie anne's [his favorite pretzel store]. tapos nun uwi na kami sa antipolo tapos nagpagupit muna siya then hinatid na niya ko.


panira talaga ng araw!!!

what a day. i had tests in all my subjects except PE. haaay.. i so hate biology! bwisit.


anyway, i had dinner with erick, erick's mom, erick's dad, ace, kristi [ace's girlfriend] , ate shine, glenn, and kiara. it's his dad's birthday kasi. kahit na nagparty na last saturday, this one's for the family lang daw. :) it was held at Italiannis in eastwood. Ace gave his dad a black, t-back underwear. hahaha!


here's some pics:



kristi and ace



original lovers. hehe..



erick's dad with the waiters and waitresses singing the Happy Birthday Song sabay yung "macho, macho man.." haha!



this time with the waitress grinding and doing the otso-otso dance. :D

haaay.. so boring.. computer namin ngayon and wala kaming ginagawa. well its better than doing computer projects or exercises. that's what we did kasi the past meetings and its kinda refreshing to be just surfing and surfing the net. but not like most of my classmates, i easily get bored with the internet. nakakasawa na eh. anyway at least its cold.. i can just sleep rest.


a lot of things happened these past few weeks. i had a wonderful new years eve at my cousins house. though arriane was not there to spend it with us, we still had fun. haha. of course that includes the traditional jumping and shouting and blowing of torotots. :D we hadn't got the chance to fire[?] firecrackers cause lahat kami girls and we're afraid enough to even light up a lusis [?]. :D


my classes got harder and harder! i got a really low prelim grade in biology. it breaks my heart everytime i get a low grade. i mean i know i did my best but the unwanted truth is that that wasn't good enough. maybe there's an adjective better than best. there's got to be.


friendships.. *smiles* i just love my friends. i have better, honest-er, thoughtful-er, and much fun-to-be-with- er friends than i ever had in my entire life.. oh and i almost forgot prettier and handsom-er to those adjectives. ;p of course the friends im referring to include my bestfriend and my closest friends in highschool. my point is that i am so happy to find such good friends who can have good clean fun also. im tired of those mapanglait-naninira-ng-ibang-tao type of persons.:)


we're going to have our youth encounter nga pala soon. i still don't know the location but the past retreats daw kasi were held at antipolo. can you believe it? magtritricycle lang ako nasa retreat house na ko. why does it always have to be in antipolo?:) our duty [which started last friday] are even taking place at antiplolo national high school in cogeo. as in 5 min away lang from erick's house. haha! anyway the good part is if sa antipolo nga yung youth encounter namin, erick can visit me. i heard it would be a 3 days and 2 nights retreat so erick and i will sure miss each other. :(


hey, i gotta bounce! our computer class' already over. hope i'll have the strength [yuck.. strength] to update my blog again. hehe..
