Hope For The New Year..

So yeah, its 2 hours before 2011 comes. And I'm doing this 'I-need-to-have-a-year-end-post' post. I don't want 'Thank you' notes or 'Highlights of 2010' kind of post because its what most people do. And of course, I've already thanked people and blogged about the "highlights" of my year.

Anyway, I wanted this to be short and simple.
Since last week, I haven't been resting well, and that's not because of the parties, night-outs, etc. that I've been going to. Sleep is far different from rest, if you know what I mean. Its just that I've never been so bothered about something like this before. Since I've heard THAT news, I can't help but be scared. Scared? Yeah, scared. It's the first time that I feel unsure of what can happen the day after. [Excuse my grammar. Kalat lang thoughts ko.] I know for a fact that tomorrow is always uncertain, but to feel scared about it? That's new for me.

Maybe, once again, I am being tested by my faith. I know that I've been AWOL with my 'meetings' with God, so maybe He's calling my attention. Maybe, because things are going so well with my life, I often forget to talk to him. So, yeah. Maybe He's just reminding me of something, or He wants me to learn something from this... eeeerrrmmm... test?

When I'm not in control of things, there's one thing left to do.. HOPE. Hope that things would turn out for the better. Hope that everything will fall perfectly into place. Hope that people would be patient enough to wait for their prayers to be answered. Hope that there would be a brighter day for all of us. Hope that our eyes be dried from tears. Hope that people will not stop from hoping.

2 hours from now, we'll be facing a new year. New beginnings. New challenges. New experiences. New opportunities. New everything! And with all of these, let us keep our head high, hope that what we prayed for will be answered one by one, and never stop believing. :)


Happy New Year Everyone! God Bless Us All! :)

There's A Rainbow Always After The Rain..


Falling out, falling in
Nothing's sure in this world no, no
Breaking out, breaking in
Never knowing what lies ahead
We can really never tell it all no, no, no
Say goodbye, say hello
To a lover or friend
Sometimes we never could understand
Why some things begin then just end
We can really never tell it all no, no, no

But oh, can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
So baby, please smile
'Coz I'm always around you
And ill make you see how beautiful
Life is for you and me

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies color's
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain


Hitting high, hitting low
Win or lose you should go, yeah yeah
Getting warm, getting cold
Weather could be so good or bad
But baby this is life now don't get mad no, no, no

'Coz oh, cant you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
So baby, please smile
'Coz I'm always around you
And ill make you see how beautiful
Life is for you and me

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies' colors
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain

Life's full of challenges
Not all the time we get what we want
But don't despair my dear 'coz I know now
You'll take each trial and you'll make it through the storm
'Coz you're strong my faith in you is clear
So ill say once again this worlds wonderful and
Let us celebrate life that's so beautiful, so beautiful

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies' colors
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain

The Tough It Gets Going..

I'm in a position where I can't think of what to do anymore. Yeah, it's a bit serious this time. I really don't want / think I need to go through the details of the current situation, but it's kinda BIG.

I believe that things always happen for a reason. I also believe that no matter how hard the situation may seem, it will be all right in time. But sometimes, its hard to keep believing when your problem is pushing you hard down to the ground.

I know that in times like this, all I have to do is pray.. And believe that God will work things out in his perfect timing.. And wait patiently.. Yeah. Easier said than done. But I do hope I'll be able to make it through this is in one piece. Strength. Patience. Endurance. Lord help me.

:((


"I love you so much.. And I'll keep on loving you till forever.. This is just one battle we have to fight together.."

Updating..

♪♫ On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me.. Three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge and a pear tree. ♫♪

Yeah. So much for intro.

Haven't blog for a while now. Not that I'm busy.. I'm just.. preoccupied. And I kind of lost the eagerness to write about my everyday blahs, after all boundary na naman ako sa blog posts for the year eh. [Check out my posts for the previous years.] So yeah.

I actually have nothing to write in particular.. I also don't know why i entitled this post "Updating.."; is there anything to update? =))

Here's some updates: [Even though you don't give a crap about it.]

★ The Dance Workshop at our church that we we're planning since October is finally over. 4 Saturdays of grooving, jazz-kicking, arms-twitching, and facial expressions -- and a dance recital to top it all off! It was all worth it. I was happy for the kids because I know they all learned a lot. I am also fulfilled that I get to dance again. :) And knowing that it is all for the Lord, all the hard work was definitely worth it! :)

★ My sister and I got into a 'silent war' because of some stupid shoes. [Yes! That's how far a apir of shoes can get..] We keep on ignoring each other for the past three weeks. But it was just last Saturday that she talked to me first.. As she was wrapping her Christmas gifts for her friends, she asked "May puncher ka ba?". "Wala eh..". Then I excitedly told her "May bago akong tattoo!" Then I showed it to her. And the rest.. went well. Back to normal I guess.

You had me at "May puncher ka ba?" --- wanted to tweet this particular line, but I hesitated because she might get pissed again, I don't want to push my luck! :)

★ And yes! I do have a new tattoo. I wouldn't call it 'new' 'cause I just expanded the one I already have at my lower back. Same theme -- flowers on waves of water. Though it's not yet done, I have to go back for another session. I didn't let 2010 pass without me having a tattoo.. That's four years in a row! :)

Another rock n' rolling Christmas gift from my punk rockin' Kuya Shad! :) [No photo for now. Kapag natapos na.]

★ I have an upcoming business [PhotoBooth] and I'm really excited about it. But of course I need to study the 'feasibility' of the project first before I go on. [Although I already bought some stuff for the business. Excited?] And also, I need to buy a new laptop so that I won't bother Louis to borrow his. Haha! =))

★ I'm done with my Christmas shopping. Yep! As busy as I am, I got it done.. too early I guess. :) But hey, it just took me one Saturday to get ALL done, and I mean ALL! [Well, except for my parents 'cause I'll be buying them a new phone for Christmas. I'm waiting for some mooolaah!]

★ I recently [Just now.] downloaded all the albums of N*SYNC. I kind of miss them and their music. Well, I know that they're not that good compared to what we have now. But hearing them all over again brings back so much memories. 'I Drive Myself Crazy' was the first song that a 'boy' ever dedicated to me. ♥♥♥ And I liked Justin Timberlake after they released their 'Celebrity' album in 2001. [And on the music video of 'Gone'] Haaaaaaaay. ^___^

So that's it for now. Tata! ♥

Be Joyful Inspite Of.. Despite Of..

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MONDAY? You keep hitting me blow by blow. I'm not used to it! :|

My day started out well. Woke up earlier than the usual, arriving 15 mins early to work, ate breakfast with the usual people, then off to my desk to start my day.

Midday. I was chatting with a friend, talking 'bout.. eeerr... things. I don't want to go through all of the details but it just makes me sad that I am once again the reason for his.. eeerr... state? I can't find the right term. It is in these situations that I feel bothered. The one that I would have to choose between someone's feelings or my own feelings. And even if I choose myself over him, I still feel a little bit guilty/bothered. [See? I'm not that bitchy!] To simplify: Olats.

Sisterly War. Kept nagging me thru text about her clothes that I used for the weekend and the wedge that I have 'broken'. I really really hate it when she does that because:
1) I hate arguing over text. It's very.... Unsisterly. [Is there such a word? Haha!] Plus, I don't know what to reply because there's nothing I can say that will make her not mad at me.
2) Hindi ko ma-English kaya Tagalog nalang for this one.. Kapag siya yung gumagamit ng damit/gamit ko ng walang paalam, kahit gagamitin ko yun the next day, or kapag siya ang may nasisirang gamit ko.. WALA SIYANG NARIRINIG SAKIN. [Even sa text.]

At dahil dito uminit talaga ulo ko at kumunot noo ko. Sa inis ko, I ended up saying the lowest of all reasons.. "EH DI BABAYARAN KO PARA MAKABILI KA NG BAGO AT WAG NANG MAG-AWAY!" [Kahit na hindi naman ako talaga yung nakasira. Kainis eh!] Sabay reply "Di ko naman pinapabayaran eh, pinapaayos ko lang." Sauce. Hindi nga ako sumira, ako pa aayos? Bibili nalang ako ng bago nang matapos na.

See? See how low this argument is? I HATE IT! I'M HATING MYSELF RIGHT NOW!

Lunchtime. Someone PMed me. Telling me that a group of 'gossipers' we're talking about how snobbish I am, and that I wasn't smiling at them when they pass by. The heck with those people! They're VERY old to play Gossip Girl with me. They've already spread the rumors to their entire department, so now I am named '..yung hindi namamansin.' Pffft! This is what I hate the most! GOSSIP! People talking behind your back, with only one thing in mind.. to put you down. And it saddens me because its all they ever do. Instead of working hard and minding their own business, they tend to talk about other people's flaws/mistakes/misfortunes/etc. Para na nilang ulam yun araw-araw. Kainis! Matatanda na, ang tatabil pa ng dila! :p

Afternoon. Raining HARD. Earlier, I greeted a "friend" thru FB. Then, I checked back at her page and she entirely replied to all those who've greeted her, except for one.. ME! If I was just crazy enough, I would have posted the screen shot here. BUT, nvm. I know that after I blog about this, the feeling would just shake off. Going back, so yeah! She left me out! I don't know what her problem is; with me, with the content of my greeting [It's just a simple Happy Birthday btw] or some other stuff that may be "too personal". [A lot is 'too personal' these days!] I can't say that I don't care, because I do! I just wanna know why.. But then again, if she doesn't feel like it, I won't push it.

So yeah. Pretty amazing things for a Monday huh? Need I ask for more?

After almost being done with this entry.. [And having 3 glasses of Über cold water] I remembered something from the sermon yesterday.. that HAPPINESS is BECAUSE OF, while JOY/BEING JOYFUL is INSPITE OF and DESPITE OF. So even if this day gets any worse [Please.. Don't..] or if it will turn out quite the opposite [Crossing my fingers..] Still, I have to be thankful and be joyful for this day.. Inspite of.. Despite of.. ^____^

I. Thank. You. Bow.

Just before I hit 'Publish', the perfume that I ordered [DKNY Be Delicious] just arrived! Yey! ^___^ [Bawi one point!]

Wish I could do a rewind. ◄◄

Fallin' For You.

One of my favorite Colbie Caillat songs. Tried to play it on the guitar [with Louis' coaching. Haha!]. Attempted to cover it and upload it somewhere. But nooooo.. This made me just sit back, relax, and just enjoy listening. [And adore his cuteness! Aaaaww! ♥] Hope you enjoy this one too! Ü

-------------------------


Fallin' For You - A Colbie Caillat cover by Gabe Bondoc

I don't know but I think I maybe
Fallin' for you, dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I know you better

I am trying not to tell you
But I want to, I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

As I'm standing here and you hold my hand
Pull me towards you as we start to dance
All around us, I see nobody
Here in silence It's just you and me

I am trying not to tell you
But I want to, I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you

-------------------------

All around us I see nobody.. Here in silence it's just YOU and ME.. ♥♥♥

Your Smiling Face. ♥

At nag-"two hit" combo nanaman si Mr. Dado. Hehehe.

First is this drawing. I call it "fan art" kasi feeling artista ako eh. Haha! But really, he's just killing time when he does stuffs like these. :)

-------------------------

When I read the caption, naalala ko bigla yung kantang ♫♪ Whenever I see your smiling face.. blah.. blah.. blah.. ♪♫ Hindi ko pa alam yung title eh. Hehehe.

Then, yesterday, being a Tuesday. He asked me what song he'll cover for that day, and I remembered 'Your Smiling Face by James Taylor'. Ayun. Naparequest ako ng di oras. Hehehe.

-------------------------



Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you (Yes, I do)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby (I don't know)

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It will grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer

I thought I was in love
A couple of times before
With the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It can grow stronger every day
How much longer

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today

-------------------------

Tell me how much longer it will go stronger everyday. ♥

Good Morning Sunday! :)

Hello world! It's been a while.. I've been kind of busy with those out-of-town trips that I always forget to write about it. (I'll refresh my memory and try to remember every 'this-is-worth-writing' detail.) Anyway..

GOOD MORNING SUNDAY! :)

Woke up SO early (6:45am) because I did sleep early last night.. on a Saturday! Hehehe. I really really need to have lots of rest to avoid further sickness. And of course I need to recharge my body for future activities. (Meron? Malay naten..)

I better get ready for Church. Baka ma-late pa ko kakaganito ko. Hehe. :) Bye for now! :)

*Hoping this would be a looooong but happy day! :)*

The Wonders of Bohol. [PhotoBlog]

Here are some of the highlights of my Bohol Trip last October 23-25, 2010. I'm still lost for words so I decided to make a PhotoBlog instead. Happy viewing! Ü













One day, I'll go back to that lovely place and do a whole lot more. 'Till the next sweet escape. ♥

Terrified... But...

You, by the light is the greatest find. In a world full of wrong, you're the thing that's right. Finally made it through the lonely, to the other side. You set it again, my heart's in motion. Every word feels like a shooting star. I'm at the edge of my emotions. Watching the shadows burning in the dark. And I'm in love. And I'm terrified. For the first time and the last time, in my only life. And this could be good, it's already better than that. And nothing's worse than knowing you're holding back. I could be all that you need, if you let me try. You set it again, my heart's in motion. Every word feels like a shooting star. I'm at the edge of my emotions. Watching the shadows burning in the dark. And I'm in love. And I'm terrified. For the first time and the last time, in my only life. I only said it 'cause I mean it, I only mean it 'cause its true. So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming, 'cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm with you. You set it again, my heart's in motion. Every word feels like a shooting star. I'm at the edge of my emotions. Watching the shadows burning in the dark. And I'm in love. And I'm terrified. For the first time and the last time, in my only life. ♥♥♥

Love, Flings, And Everything In Between.

Yesterday, I read a post from my friend, Henry, entitled "To all the girls I loved before". It was a comic relief! And then he told me, 'Gumawa ka din ng ganun para malaman ko kalandian mo!' I answered 'Kapag ako gumawa ng ganung blog, real names gagamitin ko!' Ayus. Napasubo yata ako. Kaya ito, ihahayag ko na sa lahat ng mga readers ko [Kung meron man, sana konti lang kayo. Haha!] ang takbo ng 'love life' ko over the years. Ü Mahaba-haba 'to. Kumuha muna kayo ng maiinom o makukutkot bago maupo at magbasa. Hahaha! Ü

P.S.: Sa mga mababanggit, 'wag sana magalit. I'll try my best na hindi sirain ang mga pangalan nyo. Hehehe. At sorry kung gumamit ako ng mga photos nyo. Don't worry, di ko naman ipapasa sa presinto para ilagay sa 'Wanted' list nila eh. Ü

Maaga akong nagsimula sa mga crush crush na yan.. As in maaga! KINDER! At ang unang lalaki na napagtuunan ko ng pansin ay si..


LEONARD ALLEN LORICO
The first crush.

Classmates kami nung Prep sa EWK. Typical na cutie pie 'to -- maputi, matangkad, malinis, at laging maayos ang buhok. [Hindi sya bading!] Pero tulad ng mga batang lalaki nung mga panahong 'yon, napaka-sungit nya sakin dahil yata alam niya na may gusto ako sa kanya. Pero kahit anong gawin nya, mapilit ako. Lagi ko siya tinatabihan kapag Nap Time, Recess, at kahit sa photos sumisingit ako sa likod nya. Isang beses, naglalaro kami sa Spider Web sa playground, niyaya nya ko. 'Laro tayo X-men! Ako si Cyclops, ikaw si Jean Grey.' 'Diba magpartner yun?' 'Alam ko! Tara na!'. At simula nun, close na kami. Naputol na nga lang dahil pagtapos ng Graduation, lumipat na sya ng school.

Fast-forward to 2002: 3rd year HS. First day of classes. Naglilibot-libot ako sa mga rooms ng 3rd year. Nakita ko sa list ng students sa kabilang room namin.. 'Leonard Allen Lorico'. Nabigla ako. Na-excite akong makita siya ulit. Nung nakilala ko na siya ulit, sinabi ko sa kanyang crush ko siya nung Kinder. Pag tapos nun, naging close na kami dahil magkalapit lang pala ang bahay namin [AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS! Hahaha!], at naging magkaibigan hanggang ngayon.

[Huli ko siyang nakita sa Rob Ermita last 2009, sumama pa siya samin ni Mommy mag-dinner. Adik siya sa 'Percussion Freaks'. Matangkad parin pero mataba! Hahaha! Friends kami sa FB. Sila parin nung girlfriend niya hanggang ngayon. Mabuhay kayo! ♥]

--------------------

Pumasok ako sa Elementary na walang crush or hilig sa boys. Dahil ang gusto ko lang noon ay maglaro at magsayaw. Ü Grade 1 - 3, puro pagkakaibigan lang inatupag ko.. hanggang..

Grade 4. Medyo natututo na ko mag-ayos ng konti ng sarili ko. Dito ipinakilala sakin ang unang lalaking 'nanligaw' sakin.

JEZRON EDWARD JIMENEZ
The first suitor.

Nanligaw nung Grade 4 pero sandali lang. [Dahil dalawa yata kaming nililigawan nya noon.] Lagi niya kasama ang 'wing man' niya na si JOHN ROBERT CONCHA. [Kaibigan ko na mababanggit ko din sa kahabaan ng post na 'to.] Sa pagsabi sakin na 'crush niya ko, sa pagtatanong kung pwede manligaw, sa pagbigay ng love letter na sinulat lang sa page ng notebook, at sa pagbigay ng Kerokerokeroppi na stuffed toy; kasama niya si Robert. Ayun. Nung binigay niya sakin yun, ayokong tanggapin dahil hindi ko alam paano ipapaliwanang yun sa Mommy ko pagka-sundo sakin. Nung tinanong ako kung saan galing yung stuffed toy, sinagot ko siya ng tanong din.. 'Ma, anong gagawin mo kung may nanliligaw na sakin?' At tumawa ng tumawa ng malakas ang nanay ko. Nice! Tinawanan lang ako. Sumunod na taon, hindi na siya sa school namin nag-enroll, wala narin akong balita sa kanya.

[Matagal ko na siyang hinahanap sa FB kapag wala akong magawa, kanina ko lang nakita yung 'real' account niya. Hindi ko inadd, kaya yung photo na 'to, nakaw lang! Hahaha! Ü "Married" ang status niya ngayon, pero malay mo chorvah stuff lang nila ng GF niya yun diba? Hehehe. ]

--------------------

Grade 5. Naging active ako sa dati naming church sa Caloocan. At naging active din ako sa mga kabataan dun, kaya nagkaroon ako ng aking very first "boyfriend" [With quotation marks dahil hindi pa ganun kalalim ang pananaw ko sa salitang yun.]

CHRISTIAN BERNARD MELENDEZ
The first "Boyfriend".

Grade 5 ako, 2nd year HS siya. Walang ligawan na nangyari.. ata? Ewan ko. Basta! Mahiyain kasi siya kaya yun. Nalaman ko nalang na may crush siya sakin, tapos napadalas ang mga usap sa landline. Ito yung napansin na ko ni Mommy na medyo 'next level' na ang attraction ko sa boys kaya medyo napapagalitan na ko. Umabot kami ng isang buwan, at una niyang 'monthsarry' [First time ko din nalaman ang term na 'to dahil sa kanya.] gift sakin ay VITASOFT Pink 500ml. Hahahaha! At nakasulat yung dedication sa likod mismo ng bottle, at ang gift ko sa kanya in return.. Potchie Gummi Strawberries [Potchie = Pochay. Gets?] Ayun. Natapos din ang kwento namin dahil... sa isang lalaki. [Bata pa, alam nang gumanito noh?] Kung di ako nagkakamali, siya yata ang unang lalaking napaiyak ko dahil sa "break up". Simula noon, di ko na siya nakita.

[This year lang yata kami nanging friends sa FB. Pero hindi kami naguusap dun. Hindi rin naman yata required. He's currently working at Museo Pambata. Status: In a Relationship.]

--------------------

ANGELO DALISAY
The first "Family Drama" I've been in.

Siya naman talaga yung crush ko noon sa dati naming church eh. As in serious crush, matinding infatuation!Tuwing Childrens Camp at Retreat kami nagkaka-moment kasi malayo kami dun kay Christian kapag mga ganung pagkakataon. Hindi naging madali ang 'chorvahan' namin dahil una, may nasaktan. Pangalawa, may patuloy na nasasaktan, (Yung may crush din sa kanya na crush niya rin kahit paano.) At pangatlo, ayaw sakin ng pamilya niya dahil mas 'boto' sila dun sa isang may crush sa kanya. Sobrang tablado ako nung pamilya. [O baka ayaw lang nila na magseryoso muna kami sa mga ganung bagay dahil bata pa kami. Basta.] Kaya bago pa man magkaroon ng kung ano man, tinapos na namin agad. Unang beses ko naging honest kay Mommy at kinuwento ko ang lahat ng nangyari. Natuwa naman siya dahil nagsabi ako. Dun ko napatunayan na kahit anong mangyari, kampi sakin nanay ko. Ü Hindi na ko nahiyang magkwento sa kanya since then.

Fast-forward to 2009: Nangailangan ako ng magtuturo ng mime para sa presentation sa EMC. At siya lang yung alam kong marunong parin hanggang ngayon. Buti mabait siya at pumayag. Napadalas ang practices, at the same time, nakakapag-usap narin kami ng pakonti-konti. Isang gabi after practice, nag-usap kami tungkol sa nangyari waaaay before. Masaya ako dahil naayos namin lahat, at ok na kami. One more chance sa friendship. Astig!

[Friends kami sa FB, minsan magka-chat sa YM 'pag di busy. Mas malawak na mga napaguusapan namin ngayon. Mas close kami ngayon, nasa 'beso-beso-amiga' level kami kapag sa dati naming church. Status: Single (by choice). Hindi pa siya ready ulit for a serious relationship dahil sa nangyari sa past niya. Pero madaming chorvah yan! Hahaha. :p]

--------------------

Grade 6. Dahil na-'trauma' ako sa mga nangyari. I've decided to change battlefields. Ibang lugar naman umaura! Hahaha! Balik sa school naman. New 'boyish' haircut. New gadgets. New style.

ARNOLD AQUILEÑA JR. [aka AA]
The crush-turned-BEST-boy-friend.

Arnold Aquileña. AA. Parang battery lang. 'Yan ang naging codename namin sa kanya ng isa ko pang kaibigan na napupusuan din ni Arnold ng mga panahon na yun, si Ladie Mae Bautista. Campus Crush 'to nung panahon namin, olats lang kasi marami rin siyang crush. Kada quarter yata may iba't-ibang crush. Bagong-bago pa noon ang Playstation kaya after class nagyayaya ako sa bahay namin para maglaro. May ilang beses na nakasama si Arnold, kasama ang wingman niyang si Bolus. Madalas kami magusap sa landline noon, pero tungkol lang sa mga kanta ng Westlife, N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, at sa pagsasayaw. Hindi niya na-confirm kung ano ba talaga ako sa kanya, isa lang sinabi niya noon.. "Cute ka." at kinilig na ko dun! Hahaha. [Hanggang ngayon ay in denial parin siya sa pangyayaring 'to! Hindi rin nagtagal ang chorvahan namin nung Grade 6, dahil madami siyang crush, at madami rin may crush sakin. Hahaha! So, naging magkaibigan nalang kami. [Ako lang ang binigyan niya ng Pillar picture niya sa lahat ng mga crush niya.] Crush ko siya noon, mahal ko siya ngayon. Sos! Ibang klase yan eh! ♥

Fast-forward to HS to present: Naging mas close kami dahil bukod sa ilang taon din kami naging mag-kaklase, mag-seatmates, magkasama sa Cheering Squad, at magka-tropa.. Naging mas mabuti kaming kaibigan sa isa't-isa. Basta! Sa lahat ng lalaki, sa kanya ako kampante na wala siyang malisya sakin dahil tinuturin niya kong lalaki. Haha! At hanggang ngayon ganun parin. Ü Hindi ko na kailangan pahabain 'to dahil may isang post naman ako na dedicated sa kanya eh. Pwede na yun! ♥

[Friends kami sa FB, Twitter, at kung saan-saan pa. Nagkakatext din kami, lalo na kapag may kailangan siya! Hahaha. Madalas niya kong pagtripan gamit ang Company phone nila dahil di ko siya mabosesan. Status: In a Relationship with AINA! Cheeesy! ♥]

--------------------

MARK CHRISTIAN BILARO [aka EMCEE]
The first boy to be rejected.

Habang nagchochorvahan kami ni Arnold ay nalaman ko nalang na may crush na pala sakin 'tong si EMCEE. [Hindi ako assumera, totoo yun! Haha!] At dahil mapagpatol ako nung Grade 6 ay tuwang-tuwa ako. Ü Pero hanggang dun lang yun, walang "spark" eh. Pumupunta siya sa bahay namin para 'manligaw' kasama ang dalawa niyang wingman, pero hindi parin effective eh. Pero gusto ko yung fact na may gusto siya sakin. Di nagtagal, binasted ko na siya. Medyo nagalit siya sakin noon, pero ok lang, wala na ko magagawa dun.
Summer of 2000. Uso na ang text messaging. Magkatext kami buong summer, naalala ko pa yun, nasa Ilocos kami for our Family Trip at halos di ko mabitawan ang cellphone ko dahil katext ko siya. Medyo cheesy kasi. Hahaha. Ayun. 'Pag pasok ng 1st year HS, kalat na agad na kami daw. Todo deny ako kasi hindi naman totoo. Pero hindi nama ako rude na halos itaboy siya. Naging friends kami kasi nasa iisang group lang kami noong 1st year. [Di kasi ako star section noon.] At sa pagkakatanda ko, dun na natapos yung episode namin.

[Recently added sa FB, tapos nagexchange ng numbers kasi may common interest.. PHOTOGRAPHY. Namangha siya doon sa isang portrait shot ko, tapos ayun, nagbalak na magshoot ng mga modelo/modela pero hindi parin natutuloy. Status: In A Relationship.]

--------------------

JOSE RICO FUENTES
The first Boyfriend. [Ayan, wala nang quotation marks.]

Summer of 2000. Kapitbahay ko siya, bagong lipat siya at that time. Noon lang nagkaroon ng POGI sa street namin na bata. ♥ Hindi ako yung 'first choice' niya noon, pero later on ako narin naging 'crush' niya. At syempre naging 'kami' narin. Hindi ko alam kung may ligawan na naganap, basta lagi lang kaming magkalaro noon. Kapag sa bike, ako yung nakaangkas sa kanya. Tapos ang idea namin ng date noon ay sa comp shop at maglaro ng CS. Minsan pumupunta din sa Rob after class para sa DDR naman. Basta ganun. Siya na ang nilalagay ko sa 'Who is your crush?' at 'Who is your first kiss?' ng bawat slambook na sinusulatan ko. Yeah. He was my first kiss. Haha! TAE! Tumagal din kami ng 11 months. Pero bandang dulo noon hindi na kami ok dahil nagiiba narin mga gusto namin. Hanggang sa wala na. POOF! First time ko naging bitter. Pero wala naman akong ginawang kahit ano. Ayun.

[Dun parin sila nakatira sa street namin, nakikita ko parin siya. Ok kami, friends. Nagpapansinan din. At masaya ko sa current gf niya ngayon dahil super bagay sila! :) Status: In a Relationship and very much happy! Ü

--------------------

MIKKO BERNARDINO
The first REAL Boyfriend. [SRSLY this time.]
♥ BF #1.

Usong-uso na ang text messaging at prepaid cards. At isa siya sa mga naging constant textmates ko nung mga panahong yun kahit na magkapitbahay lang kami. Nung una wala lang, tapos naging close. Actually, magkaibigan naman kami at magkakilala na dahil member kami ng SK dun samin. Medyo matagal din ang 'ligawan' portion ng episode na 'to. After several group dates later, nahulog narin ako sa kanya. Haha! Landi! First time ko mag-share sa Ate ko about this kind of stuffs. December 2001, kami na! Ü Siya ang 'official' first boyfriend ko. Nagpupunta sa bahay, kilala nila Mommy, etc. Ibang klase din 'to, kahit kami na parang nanliligaw parin. Nagpapadala ng mga 'love letters' sa bubong. [Kasi nga magkapitbahay lang kami.] Mahilig mang-surprise. And very intimate pagdating sa feelings. Sa kanya ako unang nakatanggap ng 'bouquet of flowers' from Holland Tulips. At sobrang daming cards at love letters. Yung ibang detalye ay hindi ko na isusulat. Basta, siya ang pinakapaborito kong boyfriend/ex up to date. 8 months din ang tinagal namin. Naghiwalay kami dahil sa 'trust issues'. Dahil narin sa 'age gap' namin [2nd year HS ako, 1st year College siya.] syempre naging magkaiba narin kami ng trip. At dahil mapagduda pa ko dati, lagi kong hinahack mga accounts niya, at dun ko nahuli na may iba na siya. Well, ano nga naman ang laban ng isang highschool girl sa isang college girl? So hindi narin ako nahirapan i-let go siya. At ang maganda sa nangyari ay hanggang sa huli ok kami, walang ilangan. First time nakayanan na maging 'civil'. Hehehe.

[Magkaibigan parin kami. Hindi na nga lang kami masyado nagkikita dahil busy siya sa pagiging nurse. Ü Malayo na nararating niya dahil sa sipag niyang mag-aral. Kapitbahay ko parin siya. Hindi siya active sa kahit saang social networking sites kaya wala talaga ko balita sa kanya. Status: I DON'T KNOW.]

--------------------

CLARK RICHARD SAN JOSE
The sudden Boyfriend.

Haaaay! Ito na! Isa sa pinakanakakatawang episode ko. Kilala ko na siya 1st year HS pa lang, pero 2nd year ko siya naging crush. At that time hindi kami close, at iba ang crush niya, yung friend kong si Jayvilyn Sy. At dahil sobrang close kami, sinabi ko sa kanya 'Balato mo na sakin si Clark, sobrang crush ko talaga yun eh!' 'Seryoso ka?' 'Oo!' 'Sige sige. Tulungan kita.' So ayun, sa tulong ng kung sinu-sino, nagkadevelopan naman kami. Hahaha! Months after, naging kami narin. First time niya pumunta sa bahay at nalaman kong takot siya sa aso, so nagtrip ako at pinapasok ko siya dun sa malaking kulungan ng aso. Namutla siya sa takot, at dun ko napatunayan na seryoso naman pala siya sakin. Ü Pero isang linggo lang ang tinagal namin. Di ko alam kung paano, pero nafeel ko kasi na hindi siya 'approved' nung friends ko. Eh weak ako, ayun, nakipagbreak ako. Nagkaroon pa kami ulit ng episode the following year, 3rd year HS. Mas nagusap kami ng matino at nagbabalak na magkabalikan, pero.. may dumating na iba.

--------------------

MARK JASON SALANDANAN
The rebound-turned-for-real.
♥ BF #2

Transferee siya sa school namin. Naging crush ko siya dahil sa mata niya, nothing serious though. Nagstalker mode ako sa kanya. Ayun, tapos later on, with the help of my wingman Alex, nagkakilala kami and we exchanged numbers. Nanligaw through text, pahatid-hatid sa bahay, at pasama-sama sa Rob. Ok naman siya sa friends ko so medyo ok din ako sa kanya. After 3 months, sinagot ko na. Ok naman siyang boyfriend, nothing unusual, sakto lang. We lasted 5 months. Hindi na siya nagenroll ng 4th year sa school namin dahil nilipat siya ng school dahil sa grades niya. His dad blamed me for that, nawala daw focus ng anak niya sa studies. Tsk! Ang sarap sagutin ng "I am the 10th place in the Honor Roll of the WHOLE 3rd year class tapos ako pa sumira sa anak niyo? Anak ng.." Pero hindi nalang ako umiimik. Hinayaan ko nalang. Ayoko na ng drama. End na yun para sakin.

Fast-forward to 2009: Nagkausap kami nung wake ng lola niya at dun ko nakilala ang daddy niya. "Bespren" nga tawag ko eh. Ayun, nagsorry yung nanay niya pero wala na sakin yun eh, ilang taon narin naman nakalipas at ayos na ko nun. Close kami nung kapatid niyang babae hanggang ngayon. At mas crush ko yung kapatid niyang lalaki kaysa sa kanya! Hahaha.

[Minsan nakakapagusap sa fone pero sobrang minsan lang yun. Status: Happily married and with a baby daughter. Ü]

--------------------

JUAN RAPHAELO ROXAS
The Trophy Boyfriend.
♥ BF #3

Naging magkakilala kami nung 3rd year dahil sa Prom. Summer after that mas naging magkakilala because of varsity-cheerleading stuffs. Sabay ng practices etc. Tapos syempre text-text din. He became my "kuya" nung 4th year. Hinahanapan ko siya ng girlfriend at that time, but ilang months na wala parin. Tapos ewan ko, gumulong yata ang mundo at naging kami na. Isang game ng PCU, pumusta ko, kapag nanalo sasagutin ko siya. Eh nanalo! Ayun, wala nang urungan. Masaya naman kami, syempre bago eh. Pero later on hindi na. Dami nang petty fights at iyakan sa hallway ng school. Ang hirap niyang sabayan kasi.. Basta! Nappressure ako. Humina self-esteem ko for the first time, kaya talagang submissive ako sa kanya. Parang anak sa tatay. Ganun! Dumating yung point na sobrang takot ko mawala siya dahil feeling ko ang swerte ko to have him. Pero 7 months after, RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION, he called it off. Nagsend nalang ng e-mail sakin ng lyrics ng "Burn" by Usher. Walang explanation. What a J*RK! I called him to confirm.. yeah, its over.

The revenge: I didn't know that we'll still be going to the same school in college. And if that's not enough, we're on the same building! I spent my first semester avoiding him in all ways possible. Was I mad? VERY MAD! And then, I saw his brand new car parked along the Main Building. I picked up a rock and scratched the entire left side of his car. Then I walked as if nothing happened. He knew it was me, but he didn't do anything.

After a year we patched things up, I also think its time for me to move on. He was there at my 18th birthday. He was included in my 18 Roses. His turn came up, I was freaking out, and then as we were dancing he finally, sincerely apologized for everything. And because I am a big girl already, I forgave him. And that's where we became friends again.

[Were better than before. We talk or go out if our schedule permits us to go. He's a better friend than a boyfriend. Haha! Status: In a Relationship and has a son. Ü]

--------------------

After Highschool I decided to give myself a break from "serious" relationships. I WAS SINGLE AGAIN! Getting over the past relationship was hard, very hard. [You can look at my previous posts from 2004 if you want.] But then, I realized it was time to reinvent myself. Ü I didn't say that I've totally avoided boys during those times. I was just not up for a serious one. I started partying a lot, and meeting new people. But none of them lasts for eeerr.. a week? It's only good while it lasts. But there's two guys that I won't forget.. My flings. [And one of my good good friends till now.]


JOHN ROBERT CONCHA

Hindi ko alam kung saan, paano, kailan nagsimula pero alam kong may "something". Everytime nagiging single ako, parang yung tadhana naglalapit samin. Ewan. But, Jeh has always been dear to me, since Elem classmate ko na. Mas naging close kami nung 3rd year at lagi kaming "buddies" kapag field trip, ilang taon din yun! Fast-forward. Hindi ko alam bakit hindi matuloy-tuloy, basta lagi lang siyang hanging. Kumbaga sa TV series, lagi lang siyang 'Special Appearance'. It came to a point na pwede ko na naman siya payagan, hindi lang natuloy. Ilang taon na laging ganito. Pero... No regrets. Magkaibigan naman kami ngayon at ok na ko dun. Ü Kung saan siya masaya. Mahahanap niya rin ang tamang babae para sa kanya. Ü




MICHAEL JOHN ESPLANA

Ito rin, isang biglaan ang lahat. Nagkataon na madalas kami mag-usap at mag-text at mag-YM noong mga panahon na wala akong boyfriend. Nakapag-date din kami twice. Sobrang secret yung samin, hindi namin pinaalam sa ibang friends namin. Hanggang ngayon yata di parin alam nung iba na nagkaroon kami ng chorvahan nito. Hehe. After that, nagdecide kami na maging friends nalang talaga para hindi na awkward yung feeling. Ayun, up until now ok naman kami. He's on board now, sa Israel, di ko sure. Magpapayaman siya para pagbalik niya babawi na siya sakin. Hahaha! Ü





--------------------

Two years has passed, wala parin akong naging serious na relationship. But that's fine, nageenjoy naman ako eh. As in HAVING A BLAST! Ü

April 2005, I joined EMC's Youth Camp for the first time. Iba ang agenda ko nun, pero parang sinusundan talaga ko ng mga "chorvah fairies" at nakilala ko si..


LEANDRO CABRERA
The "spared" one.

Magkakilala na kami kasi we go to the same school since Elem. And nagkasama narin kami sa CYF even before camp. Pero we're not that close. The camp paved the way for us to get to know each other and become friends. Inaasar niya parin ako dahil sa break-up namin ni ex. [Classmate niya kasi.] So ayun, after camp, tuloy parin ang pagiging close. Months passed, at umamin siya sakin na he's starting to like me. Well, I kind of like him to but not in the way na pang-BF. At that time, ready na naman ako, pero I was afraid na piliin siya. Why? Kasi he's good, too good for me actually. Sa sobrang bait, hindi ko siya kayang sakta. And I can't assure him of a perfect relationship dahil I've screwed up in the past, pwede maulit yun. And if ever, 'll be his first GF, baka ma-trauma pa siya pag nagkataon. Hindi 'to alam ng mga friends namin sa church. Kasi hindi rin naman ako nagkkwento nung time na yun, all they know is that malapit na maging kami. Oo naduwag ako nung time na yun, pero I'm just saving him from...well, me. I value our friendship more than anything kaya hindi ako pumayag. Yeah, he got hurt, pero I know naman na makakaya niya yun.

We've been super close after that 'awkward' episode. I didn't regret my decision because it turns out.... Status: In a Relationship. Oh ha! At least! Ü

--------------------

LEO CARLO MORADA
The longest relationship I've been in.. so far.
♥ BF #4

Isa rin sa mga naging close ko after camp. Constant textmates, phone pals, kasama sa puyatan. Basta college stuffs. Until eventually, na-fall na siya sakin/samin. At ako din sa kanya. Its the same time na na-fall na sakin yung isa. I chose him over the other guy kasi mas may 'feelings' ako sa kanya at that time. Yeah, a bit bitchy, pero I have to choose. So start pa lang namin, major issue na sa EMC. But then lahat naman ng issue humuhupa eh, naging ok din ang lahat in time. [May katagalan din. Hehehe.] Wala namang perfect realtionship, so in the span of 4 years, hindi yun smooth-sailing. On-off din kami nun. Masaya, malungkot, tapos masaya ulit, tapos malungkot ulit. [Basahin niyo nalang iba kong posts regarding this one.] Hindi ko akalain kaya kong tumagal ng 4 years sa isang relationship, kahit pa on-off yun. Marami akong natutunan, at malaki narin yung naging growth ko. Nag-iba narin ang perspective ko sa mga bagay-bagay. Ayun. Utang ko lahat yun sa kanya. He could have been 'The One", pero hindi nag-work eh. Hindi ko naalagaan mabuti. Bakit nagbreak? Ako kasi eh. Ako at ako lang may kasalanan. [Continue reading para malaman ninyo kung bakit.] Maharot kasi. Hahaha!

[Ok naman kami. Friends. Nagkakatext or YM minsan. We see each other sa church and kapag may activities. Status: In a relationship.]

--------------------

Hindi ko alam kung nagrebelde ba ko or sadyang sinusubukan lang ako ng mga "chorvah fairies" dahil kahit na may BF na ko ay may mga dumadating parin.. Unexpectedly. Hence, my in betweens.


KRISANTO KRISPIN LUNETA
The sweetest fall.

Third time's a charm.. Not! Sa tatlong beses na we had "something", laging hanggang dun lang yun at hindi umaabot sa next level. First was after Mikko, nag-usap sila [Yes. Magkakaibigan kaming tatlo.] na kung pwede niya ko ligawan, pumayag si Mikko. Pero hindi naman siya tumuloy 'for some reasons'. Second is Summer of 2004, pero this time, kakagaling niya lang din sa break-up so hindi na naman natuloy. Third is last 2007, I am still with someone pero 'on the rocks' kami nun. Nung may chance na talaga, 'for some reasons' hindi na naman natuloy. And that was the end of it all. So why the sweetest fall? Because even though I know it will be a hard fall, along the way, I've seen the other side of him. Yun 'boyfriend material' na side. So yeah. Its was a sweet fall. Ü

[Friends kami sa FB. Uhmm.. Yun lang. Wala akong balita eh. I still have his number though.]

--------------------

RAFFY EARL OBEDOZA
The life of the party.

I met him during one night out at a bar. [2008] He got my number and started texting me. We went out, but as friends. He's my 'Gimmick Buddy', one text away and we're set to party! Ü I get to know him better in time, and even invited him to our church. Emotions got out of hand, and I let myself fall. But I know that its just temporary. My bad. He also started developing feelings for me but he knows that I have someone already. We just continued what we had. Going with the flow. We weren't in a relationship. We weren't exclusive. but we know there's something between us. Eventually, I ended things with him. And we just remained as plain friends. [At bakit ako nag-English bigla?]

[Ok naman kami ngayon. Civil lang. Di narin masyado naguusap dahil "busy". Sometimes he texts me para mangamusta lang. Status: Single? Exclusive? Ewan. No idea.]

--------------------

TATIANA MIRANDA
The only exception.

I attended an all-girls event and that's where I met her. Small world because she also works in the company I was working in that time. Its was my first time to attend that kind of event and I was culture-shocked! GRABE! Siya yung katabi ko habang tinatawanan niya ko sa pagkapraning ko. The night ended, we exchanged numbers and then that's it. We became close because we get to go out and talk a lot. She's very fun to be with. I had this secret mission in my mind to turn her in a SHE, but I didn't succeed. But what she is, it her. And I like her for that. Ü I did develop a feeling for her, but before matters get out of control, my Mom found out and talked me out of it. And yeah, I realized that even if I'm having troubles with my current boyfriend at that time, I shouldn't run from it. So yeah, ♫♪ I kissed a girl and I liked it. ♪♫ Hahaha! Kidding! Ü

[Everything worked out fine between us. We still get to talk to each other whenever we can. She's still what she is, and that's still fine with me. We both agreed that she will be my first and last uhmm.. "she". Status: In a Relationship.]

--------------------

MIKEL FERDINAND MARASIGAN
The 8-year long "crush".

Ehem. Paano ko ba sisimulan 'to? talagang 8 years ago? [Well, super dami ko narin posts regarding this kaya basa nalang kayo if you want.] Nalaman kong may something siya sakin 1st year HS, pero nothing unusual naman. Blue Magic gifts lang siguro. Then I don't know what happened but during our 2nd, 3rd and 4th years we don't get to talk much. AWKWARD. Pero di ko talaga alam bakit. College days, sumasama naman siya sa mga gala namin, sakto lang din pansinan namin. Summer of 2005, over the fone, umamin siyang may feelings siya sakin. Pero wala naman siyang balak gawin at that time. Eh di tuloy lang ako. Fast-forward. This year mas intense ang mga nangyari. Maraming nangyari. Hindi rin naging kami, dahil.. errr.. basta! Wala akong pinagsisihan sa lahat ng nangyari samin this year kasi mas nakilala ko siya at mas naging magkaibigan kami. Ü

[Friends kami. Ok kami. Bum na siya. Hahaha! Status: Next question please.]

--------------------

After lahat ng mga pangyayaring yan ay ang haba-haba na ng buhok ko kaya nakakabuang na talaga! Gusto ko ng 'breather'. Gusto kong hindi na muna isipin lahat yan. Napagod ako, nahirapan, nasaktan. [Hindi ako bato. Umiiyak ako.]



UNTIL...



LOUIS ANDREW DALINDIN DADO
The one that can put up with all my crap. The one that brought back colors to my (love) life. The one I'll always run to. The one. [Hopefully.]

I've know him since we were Kinder. I get to know him better during our HS days. And we became super close when we were in College. And from then on.. this is us now.

Kinder. Alam ko, may crush na siya sakin noon dahil hinahayaan niya kong i-bully siya nun. Pinapasan niya ko sa likod niya at bitbit niya yung bag ko papuntang classroom namin. Yun ang mga unang moments namin. Nung Elem wala masyado dahil pareho kaming abala sa mga ibang bagay.

Highschool. Nung 2nd year HS, tinuturuan niya ko mag-gitara pero nag-give up siya agad. Haha! Sumulat din siya sa handbook ko nun ng 'about love'. Summer after that, nagsimula siyang manligaw sa text. Natrauma ako sa pagka-emo niya kaya hindi ko pinansin. 3rd year HS naging awkward kami, pero nakabawi naman agad, nagkaroon kasi siya ng GF. Mas naging kampante na ko nun kaya naging close na kami ulit. Magka-group kami sa Feasib Studies. 4th year, professional kami kasi co-captain ako ng Squad at siya Chief ng Drums. Pero sa classroom, balahura ako sa kanya. Hehe!

College. Pareho kaming busy. Nag-AWOL siya samin, pero minsan nakakausap ko parin siya. Dun namin naungkat na muntik na kami maging mag-pinsan hence the term "Cuz".

After College. Mas dumalas na ang mga gala, lagi narin siya nakakasama. Ayun, nabalik ang super duper closeness namin. Super catching up, at nakkwento ko na madalas ang mga pangyayari sa buhay ko. AS IN LAHAT! Lahat ng naisulat ko sa taas, alamniya yun. [Sana.]

Mid 2010. Sunod-sunod na kasabawan ang nangyari, siya ang kasama ko sa lahat ng yun. [Hindi siya yung dahilan.] Halos lahat ng pinoproblema ko noon alam niya, at tinutulungan niya ko. Ginagamitan niya ko ng Psych Powers niya. Hahaha! Madalas ko siyang nababanggit sa previous posts ko. Ganun kami naging mas malalim ngayong taon. Ü

Currently. Masaya ako. Masaya siya. Masaya kami. Eeerr.. Iniiwasan ko maging keso! Haha! Ü Dadaanin ko nalang sa kanta..

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now I found you
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
♥♥♥

Basta yun na yun. Masyado nang mahaba to. Bye! Ü

I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend.

Yeah. This is the part where I get to sing this song. Bitter? Not! I'm perfectly fine. But, for the longest time that I've been dealing with relationships, there comes a point wherein this song is perfectly fit for the moment. [If you know what I mean.] Every line just hits me. Anyway, I'm not angry or anything. I just want to express what I'm feeling now, through this song I guess.

--------------------

I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND
By: Nina


I don’t want to see your face
I don’t want to hear your name
I don’t want a thing
Just stay away baby
Don’t wanna know if you’re alright
Or what you’re doing with your life
Don’t wanna hear that you’ll stay in touch maybe

I’ll get by just fine
So if you’re going then darling goodbye, goodbye

Don’t call me in the middle of the night no more
Don’t expect me to be there
Don’t think that it will be the way it was before
And i don’t think i care
I’m not over you yet
And i don’t want to be your friend

I’ll forget we ever met
I’ll forget i ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby
You just gotta let me be
You gotta keep away from me
’Cause all i want to be is just free of you baby

Don’t you come around
And say you still care about me
Go now, go now

Don’t call me in the middle of the night no more
Don’t expect me to be there
Don’t think that it will be the way it was before
And i don’t think i care
I’m not over you yet
And i don’t want to be your friend

You take it casually, and that's what’s killing me
I’ll get by just fine
So if you’re going then darling goodbye, goodbye

Don’t call me in the middle of the night no more
Don’t expect me to be there
Don’t think that it will be the way it was before
No, no baby
Don’t call me in the middle of the night no more

I’m not over you yet
And i don’t want to be your friend..


--------------------

So yeah. I guess I don't wanna be your friend.. Not just yet. There's too much drama, and trust me, I'm done with those things. Until then, I think I'll be fine. :)

ARNOLD AQUILEÑA.


At dahil SUPER SPECIAL ng taong nabanggit.. Isang post dedicated SOLELY to him. Ü [Infairness, ang tagal ko na-figure out na ikaw yung nagcomment. Kala ko si Ariel! Gamitin pa ba ang pangalan ng Nanay ko? Hahaha!] 'Wag ka na magtampo ha? Alam mo namang hindi kita nakakalimutan eh. [Iced Tea Tarik nalang tayo sa KopiRoti.] Anyway.. Game! Ü



Thank You Arnold / Beng / Erniernernernernern. ♥

Sa pagsagot ng tawag nung madaling araw na yun. [July 18, 2010] Sa pagsagot ng mga text ko tuwing nawawala ako sa tamang pag-iisip. Sa pagsama sa tabing dagat ng Talamahi nung madaling araw. [August 1, 2010] At sa walang humpay na pagpapaandar mo ng mga kalokohang hindi ko alam saan mo pinupulot. MARAMING SALAMAT! Ü Masaya ako dahil napatunayan kong hindi ka lang sa 'saya' kaibigan, pati rin pala sa 'ka-inartehan' nandyan ka. Ü Kala ko kasi dati hindi ako makakapagshare sayo ng mga 'serious' na bagay dahil sa sobrang comedy mo, at ayokong mambasag ng trip 'pag masaya na tayong lahat diba? Ayun. Salamat kasi ikaw yung tipo ng kaibigan na marami lagi sinasabi [At maraming alam!] at sinasabi mo lahat yun out of concern, nothing more, nothing less. I mean, your very upfront. Wala nang paligoy-ligoy pa. And that's what I like about you. Ü Matagal narin tayong 'friends', pero ngayon ko mas na-prove na magkaibigan talaga tayo. [Kala ko kasi dati plastic ka! Hahaha! Ü] Basta, basta. Ang iba pang mga chorvang pagpapasalamat ay hindi ko na kailangan pang banggitin! Ü

At 'wag ka na kasi magselos. Alam mo namang ikaw parin ang 'First Love' ko at sa'yo ko parin i-de-dedicate ang bawat WestLife na kantang alam ko. ♫♪ And I swear it all over again.. ♪♫ At ikaw parin ang pinakamagaling sumayaw na lalaking kilala ko! Ü ♫♪ Every little thing I do.. Never seem enough for you.. ♪♫ At ikaw parin ang pinaka-kwelang nilalang! Ü I LOVE YOU BIATCH! ♥♥♥

Wake Me Up When September Ends.

Sa lahat ng mga kumanta ng "Wake Me Up When September Ends".. GISING NA! October na bukas! :D

The September that was.. How time flies SO fast! A month has passed already just like that! A lot has happened, its been one heck of a roller-coaster ride if you ask me. I learned a lot, cried a lot, and fought a lot. My emotions just came rushing in every time there's an opportunity for it to take control of things. But, little by little I handle matters the way its supposed to be. [I think.] And as September comes to a close, I am VERY thankful for SO many reasons. [And for a lot of people.]

Thank You TUSK.
[Chasha, Bits, Jas and Nessa]
When a girl is in trouble, she needs her girlfriends to pick her up. Thank you girls for patiently listening to all my whines and rants and never-ending tears whenever we talk. I promise to ALWAYS be here for you, whenever.. wherever! ['Wag lang kayo magsabay-sabay, isa lang ako!] It is through these times that our friendship levels up. I really can't explain everything that I feel right now. All the love TUSK. Thank You Thank You Thank You. [Super extra Thank You to Chasha & Bits. ♥♥♥]

To Chasha: Thank you so much for the never-ending friendship. [Yes. I am THAT confident.] Friendship na hindi lang tuwing Sunday may effect at hindi lang sa EMC natatapos. I so love you! ♥

To Bits: Thank you for bringing that 'girl power' inside me back to life. BABAE KANG TUNAY! Mabuhay! Ü Thank you for listening, kahit redundant and childish na at times. Ü


Thank You Jai.
Mr. Jairus Jericho Mendoza Perocho. Grabe ka Broi! Kung di pa tayo nag 'one-on-one' nung rainy Sunday na yun, hindi pa tayo mag-le-level up ng bongga! Hahaha! But seriously, I am very thankful for the friendship/'siblingship' [Haha! Anu daw?] that we have. Ibang klase! Ü Don't worry, all the things you told me, I will never forget them. [Minsan lang kailangan i-refresh.] Thank you for helping me to take that 'step up'. *Huuuuug*

** Hindi ko alam kung close ba talaga tayo or hindi dahil wala akong mahagilap na photo nating dalawa. Tsk!











Thank You Kuya Shad.
Mr. Lionel Shadrach Barinaga. Isa ka pa! Kung hindi pa kita na 'one-on-one' hindi ko malalaman na you would be such a big help. Super thank you for always being my Big Bro! Ü *kasa* Thank you for reminding me how I should be treated and that I have to always keep my head up in times like this. Thank you so much Kuya Shad. ♥















Thank You Mikel.
For coming to me for help, it diverted my attention and somehow forget what I'm going through. And for using my experiences to be of help to you. And most of all, for rekindling the friendship. Rakenrol! All I have to say is in my past post about you, so basahin mo nalang ulit! Hahaha! Ü

**Ang cheesy ng pic. Wala akong makitang iba eh. Hehehe.














Thank You Louis.
Isa ka pa! You're always included on my list of people to thank. I am so blessed to have been given someone like you who totally understand me. As in everything! Ü You were there from the start [Kinder days? Joke!] up until now. Thank you for listening to what I have to say, and for.. uhmm.. understanding 'crazy girl stuffs'. Ü Thank you also for helping me see the positive side of the things that's going on around me. [Weh? Meron? MERON!] Thank You Thank You Thank You! ♥








Thank You Sisters.
For being a role model of a modern woman who is strong, beautiful, and with class. [Naks!] Sharing my stories with you lightens up the burden, because I know at the back of your minds you're laughing at me because you've also been there and done that.. And looking at you now.. You're perfectly fine, thus giving me the assurance that I will also be fine. Ü I LOVE YOU ATE! ♥










Thank You Mom.
I will always be forever thankful for your love. It is when I face my biggest problems that you show your love and comfort for me, not just because you're my Mom and that's your job, but rather because you are also my friend and that you love me for who I am and who I am not. ♥♥♥










Thank You Lord.

I couldn't ultimately thank anyone else but you, Lord. It is you that really picked me up EVERYTIME. Thank you for bringing me back where I really should be. Thank you for giving comfort when I'm down. Thank you for the strength and understanding you gave for me to accept that things will not always go my way, but Your way. Thank you for forgiving me for all my shortcomings so that I too, can also forgive those who've wronged me. Thank you for the people mentioned above [And for all the people who's really dear to my heart.] because through them, I can feel your love. ♥


And lastly, I am thankful because now.. I know better.. And I'm stronger.. :)

Just The Way You Are.

Oh how I love BRUNO MARS! ♥ He's like the Ne-yo of Asia. Hahaha. I like his eyes, his voice, and of course his songs.

Last Saturday, I saw the music video of his latest single "Just The Way You Are" for the first time [Yeah. I don't get to watch tv nowadays. Ü]. I SOOO liked it! Its sweet and simple, and the girl in the video is perfectly fit for the song! ♥ I just told myself.. "Haaaayy.. Sana may kumanta sakin nito.."

Come Monday, I dropped by Louis' house. He then told me.. "May papanuod ako sayo.." "Anu ba yun?" "Basta!" He searched for the file on his laptop, and then opened it in Windows Media Player.. "Just The Way You Are by: Bruno Mars"! He did a cover of that song! I was surprised that I was smiling the entire time I was watching it. After that, I asked him.. "Para sakin ba yun ha?" "Oo naman." ^_____^ [At sumakit ng tuluyan ang pisngi ko kaka-smile!] I don't care kung sabi mo hindi maganda boses mo, or mukha kang inaantok, or kasama mo si Mel sa video.. Basta! Nagustuhan ko sya! Ü Thank you! ^_____^

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

--------------------

Yeah. Overwhelmed parin ako sa video na to! Hehehe. Yun lang. *Bow*

Just sharing the love.. Ciao! ♥♥♥

If perfect is what you're searching for then just stay the same.. Ü

My Future Married Life. ♥

It's an uneventful Wednesday afternoon, and I couldn't help but feel sleepy because of boredom. I am excited to go home though ['Cause of Glee's "Britanny/Britney" episode] but it's still 3 looong hours before I get out of the office.

B-O-R-I-N-G.

I found this app on FaceBook that's a quiz type that "predicts" your future married life. [Yes. I am that bored!] I got curious [Not that i TOTALLY believe it.] and I think the results could be funny, so I decided to give it a try.

And here's the result..

--------------------

Dear Melissa Joy Mariano Tabernilla, below are Prediction result of Your Future Married Life:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ How will you choose your Mr Right?
You will make the most of being able to shop around for Mr Right. You love your freedom and will have a lot of fun learning about what sort of man you like. When you do find the guy for you, nobody will be able to keep you away from the church.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Who will be your future Mr. Right?
Your future hubby will be lovely and sweet. But a little immature - possibly even a spoiled brat! This guy will trigger your maternal instinct. You'll always be willing to watch his back and clean up his mess. He might be the same age as you are or even younger.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ When will you get married?
As soon as you fall in love, You'll want to grab your man and hang on to him. You will probably marry very young, So it would be wise of you to think carefully before committing.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ What sort of wife will you be?
You are a bit tricky. You might pretend to be a sensitive and caring wife in his eyes. But you'll be ready to laugh at him behind his back and eventually you may even leave him for another man.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Will you and your husband have a good time together?
You and your hubby will enjoy each others company playing games until you're old. Whether you play tennis, golf, swim or even just go driving out of town, You'll both stay healthy and happy.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ What will your children be like?
Your kids will be quiet and won't give you a hard time - they'll be a joy to have around. However, You should teach them to be stronger and more confident in themselves, Otherwise they might grow up to be losers.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ How loyal are you?
You are a cool chick! You pretend not to care about the many men you attract -- But they just keep coming back for more. When you are married, You won't be a loyal kind.

--------------------

Yeah. FaceBook app results can be pretty silly at times.. [Pero parang kinabahan ako dito. 'Wag naman sana. Hahaha! Ü] Till the next app result. Ü
