mush

To see you when I wake up is a gift I didn't think could be real.

To know that you feel the same as I do is a three-fold, utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain.

I Miss You, Incubus

i miss irving. =(

aha! just as i thought!

Your Relationship Will Last... A Long Time!

Your guy is ideal, as close to Mr. Perfect as he could be
If you took this quiz, you may be doubting that...
Don't! No guy is perfect but yours comes really close
You guys will last for many years, as long as you appreciate him!
How Long Will Your Relationship Last?

He's a Keeper!

Your guy is a rare find: sweet, kind, and loyal.
And as long as he doesn't have three nipples,
You should seriously consider keeping him a long time

Sometimes a girl can't see a good thing when she's got one
So let me tell you: your guy is a gold medal boyfriend
Just make sure you treat him right in return!
Is He a Keeper?

You Have Him Totally Hooked

Do You Have Him Hooked?

on the last day of may

today is the last day of may and incidentally, the end of my first month here at work. this month has been a blast. of course, with the occasional meatshop nights; going to the gym and my yoga, hiphop and belly dancing classes; hanging out with my bestfriend; going to galleria and tiendesitas with my cousins and brother; working at the SC; shopping with my mom and most especially, meeting and falling in love with irving. simple things, really. but, now i know, simple things are the ones that ultimately make me happy.

next month is the anniversary of my blog. this blog will now turn a year old! i can't believe it's been that long that i have been blogging. i had my share of cyberspace controversies but blogging has all been worth it. as i look back at my early entries, i see myself as a superficial, self-centered girl. heck, it's expected since i had just broke up with my ex-boyfriend then when i started this blog. i was on the process of moving on and wanted to divert my attention to stuff that concerned only me. now, though i still see glimpses of that selfish girl, i believe, truly believe, that i have changed. i now prefer the quiet life, going to work, then going home or to the gym and spending my free time with my family, my bestfriend and irving.

his brod (yes, he's from a frat i'm close to) asked him if he was sure about us. he replied that he is and that he's happy with his decision. he even said to me that he doesn't see the point of lingering in the past and that he believes me when i say i have changed. heck, i haven't gone anywhere without him, my bestfriend or my family during the past few weeks. he influences me to be a better, grounded person. i can now clearly see my priorities and i no longer see the need for me to indulge in useless and pointless affairs and activities.

next year, on my blog's second anniversary, these are the things that i would like to remember and pardon the formality, commemorate. and i hope, by that time, irving and i would still be together.

on this last day of may, i surrender my wild streak as i look forward to another blog entry-worthy year.

oh love. part 2.

today, so far, was my busiest day here in the office. i was proofreading this thick book about the SC's latest landmark rulings and i had to finish it by the end of the day. i was also preparing a story list for the june issue of the office's monthly publication. though i was feeling a BIT tired, i couldn't help but smile and giggle from time to time. sigh. i am so in love that no amount of work could make me cranky today.

it was definitely a whirlwind romance. i wasn't expecting to fall in love with him so fast and he was the least person i expected to fall in love with. we were introduced by a common friend, whom i dated by the way, because he lived near the SC. our common friend asked him to show me around and have lunch with me every once in a while. what started out as a friendly correspondence turned out to be utterly romantic. we were introduced early in may and now, we're together and exchanging i-love-yous practically every second.

my bestfriend asked me what convinced me that i was in love with him. well, i answered that he makes me want to be good. he now knows my quite wild past and he is ok with it. he, apparently, also had one which i have also whole-heartedly accepted. when it comes to him, i find it hard to be spiteful and one smile from him melts all my doubts away. i especially love it when he holds my hand and whispers that he loves me. pure bliss.

i thank God every now and then for enabling me to feel love again, without the occasional issues and hang-ups. i once received a text message saying, "someday you will meet someone who will make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else." well, i have found that someone. sigh. =)

wonderful, just wonderful. with the love of my life. a picture of us taken on that fateful night, or rather, morning. hehe.

that love

"I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is herein this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris."--Carrie Bradshaw, Sex & The City


i would just like to tell carrie that i found that love. somebody pinch me, i must be dreaming. sigh. =)

one of those lucky people

have you ever had a time in your life where things are absolutely perfect? and things are going the way you want them to be? well, i am experiencing that now. though i have felt this several times in the past, it has more significance to me now than ever. though i haven't planned or schemed for this to happen, it did, which makes me believe in fate more. i thank my lucky stars and of course, God, for enabling this to happen.


i'm 21, have graduated from college with honors and was hired by a reputable employer even before graduation. i might even decide to go to law school next year and my mom and i might even decide for me to study law abroad. i have the best bestfriend in the entire universe, a supportive family, not to mention my quirky cousin and hilarious adopted brother, and my mom gives me everything i want. i have groups of friends who i can be with with just a text message and i am equipped with the capacity to buy anything i want. plus, i'm going to the states and maybe, the caribbean (please, mommy!) for a month-long vacation this year. and of course, i have finally met him, the love of my life.


i have watched the movie, Loser, for almost twelve times already. there's this part there where mena suvari's character told jason biggs that she wanted to be one of the lucky people, those people who have everything they ever wanted or just simply found the person they would spend the rest of their lives with, having fun or just doing nothing. at the end, she became one of those lucky people by ending up with jason biggs' character. well, i am definitely feeling that now.


a lot of people have told me that they are happy with the way things are turning out in my life right now. everything seems to fall into place. if this persists, i will permanently be one of those lucky people. i pray everyday that it will.

intimate

the love of my life accompanied me to the grocery yesterday because i had to buy some cosmetics like shampoo, conditioner, etc. anyway, as we got the stuff that i needed and headed to the cashier, i remembered that i need, get this, feminine wash! hahaha. i told him to wait and rushed back to the aisles and got a bottle of this wash that i favored.

when he saw me come back with the bottle, he was grinning from ear to ear and on the verge of laughter. he said his dermatologist actually prescribed him to use the wash that i was holding as a facial cleanser because it had a low ph. hahaha! anyway, he grabbed the bottle from me and we headed to the cashier's line. he didn't even mind the raised eyebrows and the stares that we were getting because we bought the item together.

he was so cute and he was kidding me the whole time we were at the mall that we were intimate already because we bought intimate wash together. hehehe. what a cutie. =p

fortunetellers

whenever i go to robinson's manila, i always spot an old man with a small, makeshift table, two stools and a sign saying, "scientific palm reading." every now and then, i see him talking to a customer with the customer listening intently as he interprets the lines on his palm. sometimes, i smile at the sight of this because i so want to have my palm read. my mom told me a long time ago that she had my palm read when i was a little girl and the palmreader told her that i'm going to be successful later on in life and that i'm very cautious with financial matters.

i also had a tarot card reading at the now defunct tajma in katipunan where the fortuneteller told me that i'll meet the person i was destined to be with in a non-conventional manner, a circumstance that is not ordinary. i thought i have met this person already before but i, apparently, turned out to be wrong. as they say, there are a lot of fish in the sea and i haven't snagged my destined fish yet. hahaha. now, however, i think i might already have.

last night, my nine-year-old adopted brother was playing with a deck of cards and he was playfully telling my fortune. i decided to indulge him during the commercial breaks of grey's anatomy and the apprentice. i don't know if it's pure coincidence or if he's just plain psychic but his predictions were actually true. he said that nothing would come between me and the guy i love right now and that we are doing fine so far. he added though that there's this rich guy who would try to snatch me away from the guy i love and that they would come almost at the same time. hahaha! this is so true.

anyway, it just struck me how gullible i am when it comes to predictions. having checked my blog months ago where i listed a couple of predictions for this year, most of them actually came true. the only part that hasn't come true yet is the one where i predicted that i will be totally exclusive to someone this year. well, now that i've met him, this prediction is practically in the bag and i don't need any renowned psychic, palmreader or fortuneteller to assure me that.

by the way, i did cancel the date with the track star last night. hehe.

snatchers

i think i'm cancelling a date with someone tonight. why? bad vibes, i guess. i just don't want the vibe that i am getting from him everytime he texts me. hmmm..he seems obnoxious and totally self-centered. he doesn't even ask where i want to go and decided the time and place of the date on his own.


so what if he's the captain of the varsity track team? and so what if even his own coach, who happens to be very straight, told me that he was a total heartthrob and had abs he would die for? he's an engineering student, a frat man and according to my good friend, mitch, is a nice guy.


yes, eons ago, i would have gone for this guy having known all these. but, now, he doesn't seem so appealing. i now don't see the point why i have to date him. what for? when all my attention and energies are directed to the love of my life.


hmmm...it's too early in the morning to be thinking about this. i'll decide after lunch.


another guy has also been pursuing me lately. why, oh, why when i am so much in love are these guys trying to snatch my attention away from the one i love?


this other guy happens to be the bestfriend of one of my ex-boyfriends. he's so weird. as if i didn't witness the incident some time ago when he played with another girl for spite just because his then girlfriend broke up with him. hello, i'm not stupid. i don't want to end up like that idiotic, poor excuse for a communications student-girl who thought this guy was so into her. one call from the then girlfriend got him running back to her like a hungry puppy. pathetic. hahaha.


i wonder if my ex knows what his bestfriend is doing. if he does, he's a bigger moron than i thought he was. as if i won't see beyond this pathetic scheme. hmmm..i might as well play their minds off. as long as the love of my life wouldn't get hurt though. his feelings will always come first in everything i do.

here to stay

another day is here and i am still giddy. instead of taking my hiphop class last night, i met up with my bestfriend, caroline, at up. when i arrived, she was with, to my surprise, alvin. hehehe. it was nice seeing him and flirting with him a bit. hahaha. i missed alvin! we then went to oz cafe for some dinner (very nostalgic, i can't believe it's almost a year of love of friendship!) and then to the track oval where edong, our good friend, is celebrating his birthday.


edong invited me weeks ago so it was good that caroline asked me to meet up in school which gave me the opportunity to go to edong's party. there was lots of food! beer and punyeta (it's a drink!), of course. the party consisted of up coaches and athletes because edong used to be a coach and was a sports science major. there were even fire dance performances! it was a great party that instead of grepalifing at seattle's best coffee and getting FREE coffee from tommy, we opted to stay until around 10pm. caroline planned to spend the night at my house so i decided to go home early. plus, i have work the following day. AND of course, i promised the love of my life that i'd be home early this time and to get some sleep. he was getting worried that i wasn't getting enough shut-eye during the week. so, being the obedient love of his life that i am, i went home early with caroline. the night wasn't a total loss though. i got a kiss, no, make that TWO kisses, from a certain hottie. hehehe. after an itsy-bitsy fight though over me going home so early. =p


i felt a bit guilty though because the love of my life was patiently waiting for my text message that i was already home. he was so sweet, worrying that i drank some beer again and then, having only a few hours to sleep. we texted up to around 1am though, because we didn't get to talk much during the day because he was at his board exam review class. we exchanged text messages before we went to sleep for some mushy, sweet nothings and some mild chastising about me sleeping late again.


i told him that my mom made me fill up a US visa application last night because she wanted me to go to the states this year to look for a law school i would be comfortable with, and a school that would be near my tita mila's (my favorite tita of all time) house. coincidentally, he was also applying for a US visa! after his board exam, he wants to go to med school in the states! oh my god, is this destiny or is this destiny? hahaha. we even chided that we should leave together or wait for each other. sigh. i. am. so. in. love.


we were supposed to have dinner tonight but before i left my house this morning, my mom asked me not to go to the gym later and go home immediately after work because she wanted me to go to the mall with her. well, though she would allow me if i told her i had a date planned, i decided to just say yes. family first! and besides, my mom is only here for a week or so that i know i need to spend time with her. besides, the love of my life and i have all the time in the world. eternity, even. =)


caroline kept on laughing the whole time we were together last night and this morning. she was surprised to see me so mushy and grinning from ear to ear all the time. she was also in disbelief last night when i was acting all bratty and getting teary-eyed when our messages to each other were a bit delayed. i am acting like some lovesick puppy.


well, my bestfriend can laugh all she wants! because my being lovestruck is here to stay.

wonderful

the feeling is wonderful. i just can't believe my good luck. i am praying that he will definitely be the one. i now can't stop myself from grinning ear to ear for no reason at all and reading his text messages over and over again during my free time.


wonderful, just wonderful. if this is a dream, then, i don't want to wake up anymore. =)

oh love.

i'm seeing someone new lately and he's perfect. we had dinner last friday and watched the da vinci code. after the movie, he brought me to my house and went home immediately as well. it was probably, by far, THE best date of my life. it felt so nice and refreshing that the two of us were so in sync with each other. though it was our first date, there was no awkward moment and every second was so much fun. i couldn't help but blush when he looked into my eyes while we were having dinner.

he never fails to text me every morning and every night before he goes to sleep. throughout the day, we are constant textmates. he is amazing and i can't believe we have so much in common and our differences complement each other. he wants to be a doctor because he came from a family of lawyers while i want to be a lawyer became i came from a family who are all into the practice of medicine. we're definitely going to make a great couple someday. hay.

he is so HOT, with a body that is trained at the gym. with his chinito eyes and radiant smile, i couldn't help but melt when i saw him last friday. he's very smart and witty too. i usually don't believe in love at first sight but maybe, this one is. we looked great together and it felt so right. i am falling for him, i know. with his mushy text messages and occasional declarations of missing me, i hope he is on the same track that i am. i even told my good friend and gym buddy, ieth, that i think he's the one i've been waiting for. here is the guy who will coax me out of the playing field. sigh.

we're having dinner again this week and then gimik on friday night. i can't wait. heck, i miss him so much already. and to think i was reluctant to see him last friday.

sigh. oh love.

meatshop mainstay

if i would be asked where i spend my free time the most, it would definitely be a tie between my room and meatshop. since last year, i spend my free evenings there up to the early hours of the morning, drinking sometimes or just simply hanging out and meeting new friends. most of my close friends now are friends i met in meatshop.


there's nothing grand or sosyal about meatshop. frankly, it's one of the most grepa places on earth. there's nothing pretentious about the place. there are tents outside, monobloc tables and chairs and christmas lights. during the rainy season, they put up big umbrellas. the place boasts of its cheap beer, scrumptious barbeque and of course, the company of the now famous ate rona, meatshop's number one waitress. hahahaha. =p


being a meatshop mainstay, i now know all the other meatshop mainstays as well, most of them groups of boys. at such, on a normal night, it is typical of me to be seen table-hopping and talking to groups of boys. most of them are now close to me and are guys i can really call my friends. some of them i even hug and kiss the moment i see them. beyond meatshop, i often go out with them and with this, i have become part of various guy barkadas. i am often teased by friends that it looked like i own meatshop and that i have become its endorser. i am not bothered by this though and instead, i am flaterred that i kinda have an authority or a kind of identification with the place.


first-timers who go there often come back because i tell them to or when i agree to sit with them next time. girls often glare at me for monopolizing the testosterone population in the place but i don't care. these guys have become my friends. well, i have to admit, some of them i'm attracted to and some of them i really like. but since when did flirting with your crush become a crime? if it is, then sue me at court. hahaha. nevertheless, nothing beats getting all the male attention, really. hahaha.


the only females i am seen with at meatshop is caroline and of course, ate rona, whom i've also grown pretty close to over the year. she knows my traumatic episode last year with kenji and of course, she was the one who introduced me to kenji, who used to be a meatshop mainstay. meatshop is now more than a place to me, it has become a symbol of how i struggled to move on and forget the trauma that i had experienced over having someone die so tragically. it also represents how i learned to make friends with people from all walks of life and effortlessly get along with people even if i had just met them. meatshop honed my people skills and assured me that i am liked and appreciated. it has become a second home where i could go alone without worrying who i would sit with. it has become a place i know i would be welcomed all the time, no matter what.

pinoy spy

having worked at the supreme court for a span of exactly 12 days, i expected this to happen. i am now enticed, really enticed, to blog about something really serious or rather, something that has to do with current events and the law. being surrounded by justices and lawyers, attending judiciary events, reading supreme court decisions and resolutions and writing press releases have definitely permeated me with the gusto for the law and for everything it stands for.

i was supposed to blog about this last week but i kept on putting it off, knowing that this type of blog entry doesn't go with the theme and flavor of my blog. but, what the heck? things are changing. i am changing. i can now feel my superficiality crawling out of the door, inch by inch though it's not there yet. i still dwell on petty stuff and take joy when someone i dislike is in pain. yep, i'm still mean, selfish, brutally honest and shallow. but then again, you can never tell. things are definitely changing. i can feel it in my bones. it's obvious. who knew that i would be able to last this long waking up so early in the morning and working on an 8:30-5pm job? heck, even i can't believe it myself.

anyway, i've read in the newspapers about Leandro Aragoncillo who is now charged by the US government of conspiracy to transmit national defense information to a clique of anti-Arroyo politicians. he was caught passing on top secret data about national defense information relating to terrorist threats to US military personnel in the Philippines. since he had access to the White house and FBI information systems, he used this to allegedly give information to Erap, former speaker arnulfo fuentebella and sen. ping lacson.

i was attracted to this news item and its controversy. almost all of the newspapers had an extensive article about it. i consider it as an issue of nationalism. aragoncillo has dual citizenship and i think he was just doing what he felt would be beneficial for his country. who would he be more loyal to? the US or the philippines? this highlights the dilemma of having dual citizenship. it amazed me though that he almost got away with it, knowing that the US government is big on security.

instead of being disgusted with him, i found myself admiring his ingenuity. he was quintessentially pinoy as he found a way to gain more benefits from his access to the information systems.

his case is still pending but i strongly believe that the US government will do everything in their power to convict him. after all, they've been had. and that hurts, big time.

bubblegum television

my cousin, bap-bap, was always hooked on the tv screen whenever the show, veronica mars, is on. i used to get irritated with it because i didn't know the plot and the storyline so i always demanded for her to change the channel. however, one lazy, saturday afternoon, i was alone in my room and i couldn't find the remote control. the tv was switched on ETC and veronica mars was about to start. being the lazybones that i am, i decided to just lie down and watch the show. surprisingly, i ended up liking it.

most america entertainment shows call veronica mars a part of bubblegum television, meant solely for girls, full of fluff and superficiality. in my opinion though, veronica mars is far from that. the main character, veronica, happens to be a genius at investigating on difficult cases, a bit like a modern nancy drew. the kids in neptune, the setting of the show, happen to be rich and are a mix of every race and social status. amidst this flashy setting, veronica happens to be very simple and that made her stand out from the rest. the actress playing veronica is not devastatingly gorgeous but her simplicity makes her breathtaking onscreen. she looks fresh and is a refreshing character because blond girls are usually portrayed as girls who live for fashion and makeup. veronica, on the other hand, takes care of her father and is often compelled to make very significant decisions. her character exudes maturity at 18.

one aspect of the show that i like the most is how veronica narrates the story of each episode and she is often shown to be talking to herself. well, in my moments of solitude, i talk to myself and by this, i often figure out the answers to the questions i have been asking myself for the longest time. most of my decisions are made on my own and by talking to myself, i am able to put things in better perspective. i can so totally relate to veronica's character especially when she is faced with predicaments and with people she just couldn't escape from.

despite the challenges, she still remains to be a very fun-loving teenager. she dates hot, rich guys and makes them fall in love with her. well, my kind of girl! hehehe.

veronica mars has finished its second season in the states while it is in the middle of it on ETC. there are news that there is going to be a third season. well, there'd better be! i just couldn't have enough veronica mars. if it's really bubblegum television, well, i simply don't give a damn.

another bout of nostalgia

now that my internet connection is finally A-ok here at the office, i can now blog as much as i want! wee! i didn't want to blog using anyone else's computer so this is the first time i blogged in the office. anyway, things have been great lately i couldn't complain. hehehe. no angst, no unanswered questions, no regrets and no spite.

last monday, i took a hiphop class at the gym with ieth and with caroline and heney watching us like fish in a fishbowl. hahaha. what's funnier is that they tried the moves when they were outside the gym while having a yosi break. after the gym, we went to jem's place where the three of us practiced the moves! nyahaha. we were passable as a dance group, considering we were all drinking by then.

i went to chris' house yesterday, having been exhausted from work. i was supposed to have coffee with ieth and ewa but it was raining cats and dogs in manila i got so wet i really needed to go home. ieth and i were also supposed to take a pilates class last night but i felt lazy already so instead, i went to chris' place, which is only four houses away from mine. haha. i missed him, a lot, that i felt compelled to see him after almost three months of not seeing him. he is my closest guy friend in the universe, after all.

his mom was there and just like old times, she filled me up with mounds of her caramel cake from their bakeshop. chris' dad, papu, arrived shortly and began praising me over and over again for getting employed even before i graduated. chris, being his usual self, kept on smiling at me from across the living room. when his parents decided to go out and do some grocery shopping, chris and i stayed behind and watched the simpsons and malcolm in the middle in his room. i wasn't able to finish the last show though because i fell asleep. hahaha. how grepa.

i woke up with chris poking me at the side and saying that i was snoring. as if! i don't snore. anyway, i ended up spending the night at his place. he woke me up at 5am, telling me to go home and take a bath because duh, i have work. hehehe.

i'm feeling nostalgic here. it was just like old times when i would sneak out from my house at the middle of the night, sleep at his place and then wake up early in the morning and he would walk me home. yep, very dawson and joey, and i loved it!

anyway, i'm going to the gym later with ieth and we're not taking a class tonight. we'll be hanging out at the actual gym! wee. hahaha. boying, boying, boying. however, no ACTUAL boying because i promised chris i'd eat dinner at his house tonight. his mom's cooking lasagna! teehee. =p

again, just like old times. the only difference is, now, he's in love with me.

some random photos i love!

they say a picture paints a thousand words. so, let me just post some photos for today, being the lazybones that i am that i played hooky from work. hahaha! =p my yoga class has taken its toll on me so i'm staying home today. i am feeling a bit sick, really. and since i'm also an expert on writing captions, i'm going to write a line or two. these are pictures with people i absolutely love. in a way, this is also to make up for moi, ignoring his birthday. hehe. i just really don't go to drews. so sue me. it makes me more endeared to him though, knowing that he was thinking that i hatched up a plot to surprise him on his birthday last week, having checked that this random girl is directly connected to me on friendster. he thought that i was the one who was in connivance with this girl, even if i was not. awww..how sweet, that i was the one on his mind.

sunday night lecture

instead of the night being all about him because of a particular reason, the night turned out to be all about me. though there wasn't even a hint of annoyance from me, it seemed that it was an endless tirade of what i should do and what should i have done. it sounds annoying but in actuality, i had fun. among all the people close to me, he is the only one i ultimately believe. for me, he always turns out to be right. i even told caroline that alecsander is always right. yep, a complete know-it-all but i can't blame him. sometimes he does know the answers to all my questions. maybe that's what drew me to him in the first place. and maybe that's what made me fall in love with him as well.

yes, it was instantaneous and i didn't need weeks or months to get to know him. again, he was right when he said this. anyway, my sunday night became a lecture of sorts and now, i totally get it. i believed everything alecsander said to me that night. it enlightened me to decide on certain things and on certain people. it's about time i show some conviction to my decisions and face the consequences of my evil actions.

the enlightenment came while we were drinking but it wasn't because of the alcohol. the ironic thing was despite the enlightenment, there were some questions i left unasked. the night was illuminating. the stars, which put him in front of me that very night, were definitely scheming and devious. the enlightenment just couldn't come at a most inconvenient time, for some people, that is.

all things in life have suddenly become petty. one thing becomes important when i deem it is. otherwise, nothing, or nobody is.

for now, it's my crushie that's important. he was wearing chucks yesterday while sporting jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. sexy. rarr.

work it

last tuesday, may 2, was my first day of work at the supreme court. i thought it was going to be an exciting day since i'm finally going to know what a news analyst does. but no, i was bored for the whole day, staring at my computer monitor, changing the display settings to different shades of pink and reading decisions of cases the supreme court has ruled in for the year 2004-2005. i busied myself with texting with friends and taking pictures of myself. i occasionally chuckled at myself because i felt so formal, so shalei, in corporate clothes which is so not me. i am a grepa at heart but starting last tuesday, i looked so shalei. i now feel that i have to play the part. hahaha. in light of this, i feel that i am starting to outgrow a LOT of stuff and some people. my perspective on things is really changing, being thrusted into a new environment and interacting with people who are far more mature than the people i usually hung out with in college.

nevertheless, i felt magnetized to meet up with my best friend, caroline, in up. i promised myself i won't go to up after work ever but i had to make an exception since it was my first day and all. there's something about people in work clothes who still go to up after work that irks me. it's as if they can't let go of college, very loser-ish, in my opinion. i mean, get a life. you're not in school anymore but you keep on coming back. anyway, despite being choosy with going to up directly after work, i still went, being excited with seeing caroline and telling her all about my first day.

i arrived at the libwalk and i immediately saw caroline with archon hati. we talked for a bit about our beach experiences and then caroline and i headed to seattle's best katipunan because tommy and heney were there with tommy promising free coffee and pastries. hahaha! after devouring the free food and coffee, i got into a foul mood over something petty so instead of ditching some guys at meatshop, i told caroline that we might as well go. so, we went. however, after a few minutes, tommy and heney followed. quite a predicament, huh? oh well, towel. nonchalance always makes me spiteful to the nth degree. everything is A-ok but sometimes, nonchalance rears its very ugly head and growls at me. this causes me to do things i shouldn't be doing in the first place. the stubborn me keeps on convincing me though, to go to where i'm more appreciated. but then again, i know, at the end of the day, it is me who keeps on doing foul things and making stupid decisions. even my good friend, tommy, blames me. ok, ok. i was wrong.

anyway, i'll just make it up to the people i have hurt, despite their denials that they were hurt. yup, you know who you are. let me just post some photos taken during this day.
