get a load of...
this!
what do you do when you see the guy you love in pictures with another girl posted on the internet? ooohhhh..i smell a fight between two people. hahaha.=)
who's the guy in the pictures anyway? CLUE: he tends to c*y as if he's having an asthma attack and he falls asleep at meatshop, amidst the blaring music and the rowdy, drunk people. the girl with him on those pictures, by the way, is ME.
now, who's the heartless philanderer, heney?
CLUE: it's not you.
crazy love
i just woke up from a really bad dream but i don't want to go into the details of that nightmare. the bottom line is i have just realized...
I MISS ALECSANDER SO MUCH,
more than i miss anyone else. after all, he will always be my one, great, crazy love. hehehe. =p
my website
for my publication design and layout class last semester, we were required to make personal websites just by HTML handcoding. here's the one i came up with. Click to explore my castle!
Enjoy and I hope nobody sues me or demands from me to change anything about it..again! =p
DISCLAIMER: some contents of the website MAY be fictional and far-fetched. it's up to you to decide which parts are. hehehe.=)
nostalgic
having e-mailed my final manuscript for a creative writing class, i am officially done for the semester and my four years as an undergraduate. i am free of all academic requirements and i will officially be working for the supreme court on may 3. i will no longer be a student for probably a year, unless i pass the LAE this coming november. anyway, this is the perfect time to be nostalgic. nope, i am not cheesy like my good friend, tommy, who gets bouts of nostalgia every now and then and has a faraway look as he reminisces things. i get nostalgic as i write about the things that have happened to me during the past, four years.
i have a lot to be thankful for. i nearly died last year, in the middle of my senior year. fortunately, i didn't and now, i will be graduating. god has been good to me and i tend to thank him soon by attending this youth christian fellowship my orgmate, maxine, has been talking about.
a great chunk of my senior year was spent with caroline and i have no regrets with doing so. in fact, i intend to have that stay that way. just because i'm already working doesn't mean that i have to see less of her. my job entails me to be at the supreme court from 8-5pm, weekdays, which entails me to a lot of grepa time. plus, i am buying myself a car next week. this means i can go wherever caroline is. hahaha. how clingy.=p
college life has been a blast but since i have plans of going back to school, i am not giving out a conclusion yet. at this moment, i am happy though that i have met a lot of people and have them touch my life in a way i will never forget.
here are some priceless memories.
the gift
psst..you, yes, you! i have a secret and it is mine to tell. hardeeharhar. my ninang who happens to be an orthodontist is giving me an expensive graduation gift. i am actually dreading it, having heard the gift from my mom and her while she was cleaning my mom's teeth yesterday. i am DOOMED.
now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the gift is. duh.
movie review: walk the line
i thought i was stuck at home, having ditched my cousin's party because i was too lazy to get out of the house and dress up. however, my darling ex-boyfriend suddenly picked me up last night after knowing from my mom that i was just home. we caught the last full show of the film, walk the line.
i absolutely loved the movie! this was surprising because i normally dislike historical films, those that were not in a contemporary setting. but, joaquin phoenix and reese witherspoon were fabulous as johnny cash and june carter. they really sang the singing parts and in my opinion, they should go on tour together! joaquin was gorgeous and really exemplified the makings of the music legend, a rebel who never did things the conventional way but still, managed to rise above the odds and succeed in the end.
reese's performance really deserved an oscar. her acting was strong and flawless. she effectively portrayed the character of june carter as a strong woman who wants to make the right decisions and is confused on how much she can take the limitations of a conservative American society at that time.
these two had chemistry which had me squealing from time to time up to the moment they finally made love. aside from being a biopic, walk the line is an interesting love story as it tackles on the subject of being in love while being married to another woman. this is indeed possible and because johnny cash is only human, he succumbed to falling for june carter.
the dangers of drug overdose was also tackled in the movie which made it very socially arresting. i was quite amazed with how honest the film wanted to be, by showing what made johnny cash into the legend that he is and what caused his eventual downfall.
the ending suited my taste for endings. the two finally ended up together. yes, it's a sappy ending and a happy one, of course. i found out what happened to the couple after they got married. but instead of my curiosity being stifled, i became more interested with what really happened to them. i even searched on the internet their real photos and several news articles about the couple. they have certainly led interesting lives and fulfilled ones at that.
the moral lesson of the movie? or a significant thought? well, i think it's, "love is a burning thing."
it burns you. and it can take over your very soul.
i so totally agree. walk the line is definitely a must-see. i am buying a DVD of it tomorrow so i can watch it over and over again.
heaven...anytime
it's my cousin, bappy's birthday today! weee! because of this, my mom, bappy, caroline, arlene and i had lunch at heaven n' eggs, one of my most favorite restaurants ever! don't ask me why and don't say it has everything to do with the name of the place. hardeeharhar. i suggested to my cousin that she treats us there partly because i haven't been there in ages! hehehe. i had so much fun ordering all the food that i want. pearl harbor and vietnamese barbecue! not to mention the waffles! yum. yum. yum.
HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, BAPPY! I LOVE YOU to SMITHEREENS! =p
plus, i am so looking forward to her party later! i heard her say that she invited lots of hot guys. hehehe. but, i'll be prissy, i promise. hehehe. =)
THE bet
my best friend, caroline, and i just made THE bet. hehehe. now, i'm crossing my fingers i don't lose this one. nyahahaha.
resist temptation, starcie. repeat to yourself all the time.
jobhunting
a bit envious of my friends getting job interviews for the past two weeks, i was surprised when my own job interviews kept on pouring in for the past two days! i have a job interview tomorrow for a strategic and project planning position in an ad agency in makati and a copy test for ace saatchi and saatchi next tuesday! wee! and last week, i had a job interview for the supreme court. hmmm..i am having so much fun getting interviewed because it means i get to talk a lot, something i really enjoy doing. hehehe.
sometimes, i find jobhunting tiring especially when i know that i already have a job waiting for me at some senator's office the moment i graduate. well, courtesy of my mom so i really want to get a job ON MY OWN, without her influence. i can't wait for my first day though. if i don't find a job i like, i'd go to the senate for sure. hehehe.=p thanks, mommy! =)
life's a beach
everyone is going to the beach. all of my friends have friends who went to the beach last weekend, the weekend before that and planning to go next weekend. argh. i am green with envy towards these people. i HAVE to go to the beach before this semester ends! i am feeling so left out. i need to get a tan, worship the sun and drink fruit shakes as i watch the sunset. and then at night, party the night away while drinking with friends. sigh.
luckily, JC is going out of town this weekend! weee! i am so excited. i remember last year that i actually got tan lines during our sem-ending trip. yey.
but, i still want to go to the beach. anyone who wants to go with me? let me know.=)
close to you
instead of going home early and slaving over pagemaker and laying out my magazine page for a layouting class, i watched "close to you" with emman. ok, ok. it's cheesy and the stars are a bit overrated. BUT, i had a lot of fun and i couldn't take my eyes off the screen. it was a feel-good romantic comedy and i was giggling for the whole time we were inside the cinema.
the movie was worth the money and the time, in my opinion. and despite the cheesiness of the film, i actually saw something very obvious that i don't have the guts to recognize before. true love waits.
yeah, right. not even giggling and ogling at sam milby can ever make me believe this. i never wait for anything, i make things happen. if i'm not going to do anything about something, walang mangyayari.
oh well, towel. at least sam milby looks HOT every time he's onscreen and john lloyd looks adorable. cuties. hotties. hehehe. =p
up to now, i have a wide smile on my face. two thumbs up to bru, lance and palits! =)
too vain
lately, i think i'm becoming TOO vain. i got a pedicure, facial, haircut and a hair treatment, all in the same week. plus, i've been trigger happy with buying make-up, skin care products and other cosmetics. argh. my friend, ynard, tells me, "puro ka na lang punta sa belo," this is because every time he texts me to meet up, i'm always on my way to the skin clinic.
hmmm..maybe i am becoming too vain. but, i can't help it. the god of vanity is haunting me. ahahay. i need to distract my attention.
fellow scout area baby
c*r*s, my guy bestfriend and my fellow scout area baby, said to me the other night, "i love you so much. do you love me too?"
i answered, "it's not that simple."
as i remembered this moment, i burst out laughing. it's like a scene from judy ann and piolo's don't give up on us movie. hahahaha.=p
i'm becoming melodramatic. hmmm..maybe it's time to go to the beach and be all melodramatic as the sun sets with the sand in my feet and the waves lapping against my legs.
scout area represent! i miss c*r*s. =(
being a babysitter
for the past two weeks and up to now, i am babysitting. now, let me just say this, being a babysitter has a LOT of benefits.
we went to the spa together and got facials.
he bought me a corporate outfit for my job interview today at the supreme court which is totally elle woods-ish.
upon my request, he buys me food that i want.
we got pedicures a while ago.
we go on dates practically everyday. dinner, coffee, ice cream, movie marathons, the works!
ahahay. caroline even said, "batch, diyan ka na nga lang tumira. wag ka ng umuwi sa inyo."
hmmmm...=)
first fight
as of this moment, yes, i am officially, exclusively seeing someone. with caroline telling me that she's not ready for exclusivity and me whole-heartedly agreeing with her, this surprises me a lot. a whole LOT. however, i'm a hypocrite if i say that i don't find this fascinating. and refreshing. and quite funny. hehehe. =p
we just had our first fight and instead of being pissed about it, i'm feeling quite giddy. what a sweetie. and for the very first time in my life, i said sorry first even if i am convinced that it is not my fault. hahaha.
