on blogger break
since i am a busy girl with work, law school, family and of course, hunnybun (yihee!), and because i find multiply to be more convenient and easier to use plus the fact that all my friends and sorority sisters are there to read my spur-of-the-moment journal posts, i am declaring myself to be on an indefinite, blogger break. oh, boohoo. =( i will definitely miss blogger because this is where i started as the gorgeous blogger that i am. teehee. anyway, i promise to be back, mr. blogger, as soon as my schedule relaxes a bit (i.e. sembreak). so for the meantime, guys, please feel free to be updated about me and what i do and think about at http://starcie.multiply.com
toodles!
quickie update
i am still alive. given my jampacked schedule of work, school, hunnybun and family, i have less and less time to blog. argh. oh well, certain sacrifices have to be made. after all, i can sneak in a few minutes of blogging every once in a while. like now, for instance, while i'm eating chowking takeout (siomai is LURVE) and procrastinating a bit into finishing my criminal law assignment. hunnybun, on the other hand, drove me to and fetched me from UP a while ago and now, while i'm here all alone at home, he's out studying with his study group. i told him to do a cinderella though and be back home before midnight or else, i'll turn him into a pumpkin! hahahaha. :)
anyhoo, i know i'm rambling since this is my outlet for my otherwise hectic life. this is my way of deviating from my world of schedule and order so please bear with me, guys. hehe. oh, to all my friends who didn't know, i was sick the entire week last week and was even hospitalized. it turned out that i had acute hyperacidity and my cough has complicated but i'm pretty much feeling better now though i still have to go through a lot of medical tests. hopefully, everything will turn out to be fine.
i promised myself that i will not let the stress of law school get the best of me and so far, though i have been pretty much non-existent in cyberspace, i know i am doing fine. i said to myself that law school is just a part of my life, not my life, so i will not let it rule everything i value. it is one of my priorities but it is not the only one. that is why, everytime i feel stressed out, i shop, watch television, spend time with my family and hunnybun and of course, eat and sleep. hahaha. i still am a grepa at heart, no matter how busy i may become. i miss all my friends though that i can't wait for the sembreak! anyway, my idle time is up again. good night, everyone! :)
P.S. i'm going tomorrow night to megamall since the schu branch there is the only one having a midyear sale. YEY! i am EXCITED. i am certainly getting a ton of pairs! :) plus, hunnybun and i will be going on our usual, friday night date. WEEEEE!! :)

a prayer
God, i know i am difficult. i am moody, messy, whiny, bratty, and impatient. i am demanding. plus, i have become so busy that even the smallest things irritate and annoy me.
thank you, Lord, for hunnybun who buys me lunch and dinner everyday, who supplies me with my needed medicine, cleans up after me, washes the dishes that i have used, lays down my change of clothes on the bed for the night, drives me to and fetches me from school, fixes my discarded stuff, runs my errands for me, in short, pretty much does everything to make my life easier. oh, thank you, God, for giving me irving. he is my rock here on earth. during moments that i am ready to give up and i tell him my lonely dreams, everything seems all right again with just his embrace. please, God, help me be worthy of having such an amazing and selfless person as my life partner.

no sacrifice, no victory
busy, busy. ok, so this has been keeping me uber-occupied lately so i don't blog that often anymore. however, i still manage to squeeze in some quality time with my family and with hunnybun, of course. and shopping! how would i destress without it? and like last night, hunnybun and i watched transformers, an amazing movie, hence, this post's title.
ok, my idle time is up! back to reading. :)

needing retail therapy
law school has officially started and even if i have only endured two days of it, i am experiencing a little bit of stress, the kind of stress that makes me want to drop everything, drive off into the sunset and go to the beach. i miss having lots of free time! i miss watching soap operas on television and eating dinner at home with hunnybun. pfft. plus, i miss doing absolutely nothing! i am so busy lately that i am on the verge of lashing it out on almost everyone. oh no, i certainly do not want to throw bitch fits!
that is why I BADLY NEED TO GO TO SCHU, MANGO, ZARA AND RUSTAN'S TO SHOP. i really, really, really need some retail therapy! that's it, i'm going tomorrow before all hell breaks loose!
P.S. i used to destress by flirting. hahaha. the problem is, there is nobody in my classes i can flirt with! :p oh phooey. peace, hunnybun! :)

over margaritas and lots of cobwebs
approximately two years ago, i started this blog. on that note, let me greet my blog a happy second anniversary! cartwheels and somersaults all over! weeeee! :) anyhoo, i remember that the first guy i blogged about and was particularly giddy about was a guy that i grew really, really close to over the past two years. yes, we had our ups and downs and even ended up pulling each other's hair and got into the loudest, shouting matches but i consider him now one of the really few people who know me and understand me, even at my most superficial state.
even now, despite my commitment to coupledom bliss, he is still a staple in my life and since my bestfriend is so unreachable lately, he has become my 911 for anything, from the most mundane of dilemmas to the most personal, even love problems! ok, ok, when has he become my dr. love? when he was so complicated when we were "together?" yes, things have turned out to be somewhat ironic but i appreciate the time and the attention he is giving me now. he is one person at this point in my life who would be there for me with just one text message and he would materialize in a flash to wherever i need him to be. and that's the beauty of this irony. when we were romantically linked, he was never there and i could not feel his compassion. but now that we're just friends, i totally feel it and i see how concerned he is for my welfare and happiness. i am happy now that we have reached this kind of relationship. if we couldn't be together, at least, we could be really, good friends.
over margaritas and some reminiscing the other night, i realized that we have gone through a lot. we had fun and we were able to experience a lot of things other random people wouldn't have. he taught me a lot of things and without my relationship with him, i wouldn't have discovered who i really am and what i really want for myself when it comes to love. he made me realize how important one chance is and when you blow it, it would be hard for a partner to trust you once again. i regret my mistakes but i am glad that i made them because without those mistakes, i wouldn't be this happy, contented person now.
while we reminisced the past, it was funny that i could barely remember the things that happened to me before and the wild things i was able to do in front of him. he kept reminding me of people, places and stuff that happened and it was so funny that he remembered them better than me. i saw then that even if he was putting on a nonchalant face before, he was paying attention to me and he was concerned. though i reached out to him that night over a superficial, selfish problem, i was enlightened in a different light. though i saw him all the time as a flaky, indecisive person, i know now that he is a person who will stay, a person who will be with me in the years to come as i make my dreams come true. yes, it's been a long, long time since i blogged about him and i know this would cause some people to raise some eyebrows and even irritate my boyfriend a bit, but what the heck? people like him come only once in a girl's life. he has seen me at my absolute worst but admits that he loves me (not in a romantic way, he says). over margaritas and lots of cobwebs, i learned that i love him too, but NOT in a romantic way as well.
hahahaha. :p
and no, i am not backsliding. :)

ONE
on the eve of our first anniversary outside HEAT, edsa shangrila hotel. Let's go drive till the morning comes.
And watch the sunrise and fill our souls up.
We'll drink some wine till we get drunk, yes...
Let me drink you, please, I won't spill a drop, no, I promise you.
Lying under this spell you cast on me.
Each moment the more I love you.
-Crush by Dave Matthews Band
