commuTer siDetRip
I'm so torn in making decisions right now...-o0O0o-
It's still hot than usual today...in fact, I took a bath again before going to class this afternoon. And to think of it, I kinda overslept awhile ago. Good thing that my parents have arrived from Quezon. They just came in time. Otherwise, I'd be late for my afternoon class.
Most people resort to riding airconditioned FX's (minsan pa nga Revo or Adventure) because of the weather. It's such a relief nga naman. Pero minsan, kainis talaga lalo pa kung ang hina naman nung aircon ng FX na nasakyan mo. Minsan, nandiyan din yung takot na baka ma-hold-up ka...last week lang ata nung natutukan ng baril yung kapitbahay namin. Kasasakay lang niya sa FX...dito galing sa labas ng subdivision. Hayun...na-trauma ata...cellphone lang naman ang kinuha. Buti nga buhay pa siya noh. Napapadalas na 'yan. May nag-aabang daw na grupo ng mga lalaki sa may labasan tapos nanghohold-up...kaya hayun...nagpapahatid na lang kami sa kabilang subdivision para mas safe at mas madaling makasakay.
As for me, I'd still prefer a private vehicle...especially our new baby bro, si Rex (yung Starex ni father). Ang tindi ng aircon non (pwera usog).
Anyway, aside from the usual FX na sinasakyan ko everyday, nandyan din ang ever present and ever reliable na jeepney. Sa Pilipinas lang daw 'yan...pero US naman ata ang nag-introduce niyan dito if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, the wonderful thing about jeepneys is that they're cheap. Kahit na ilang transport strikes na ang pinagdaanan nila, mura pa rin yung fare diba...kung tutuusin naman kasi, halos bente kayo sa isang jeep...eh di mas malaki yung hati sa gas and other expenses. ;) Mainit nga lang minsan lalo na pag traffic pero kung tutuusin, mas maraming happening sa jeep diba?
Eh kasi naman, siksikan kayo. May sense of closeness diba. Para kayong sardinas sa loob. Tapatan. Minsan sa tagal ng biyahe, wala kang magawa. Fave ko yung tumitig sa mga paa ng mga pasahero. Lahat na ata ng klase ng paa nakita ko...may mga naka-toe ring, may maruruming kuko, may mga patay na kuko, may todo pedicure pa (pero hindi naman bagay ang color ng nail polish sa skin tone), may ok lang, may makikinis tingnan na mga paa, may mga nakasuot ng mamahaling sapatos, at may mga naka-tsinelas lang.
Kaya nga lang, may downside minsan pag siksikan. Minsan, hindi mo alam, snatcher yung katabi mo...eh siksikan nga minsan...hindi mo alam, wala na pala yung cellphone/wallet mo pag baba mo ng jeep. Minsan, nanghihipo pa yung katabi mo. Good thing hindi ko pa ito nae-experience. Masasapok ko talaga yung katabi ko if ever. Anong silbi ng isang sem ng self-defense noh (paborito ko yung rolling at falling pero siyempre, hindi ko naman magagawa 'yon sa loob ng jeep noh).
Sabi nila, samu't saring amoy ang nalalanghap sa jeep. Pero sa totoo lang, bihira ako makaamoy ng body odor. Distracting ata yung malakas na hangin na polluted. Parang ang dumaan lang yung amoy...tapos wala na. Mas naamoy ko pa yung pollution sa labas. Yun ang ayaw ko sa jeep. Yung pagdating mo sa pupuntahan mo, magulo na buhok mo at maitim pa ilong mo...lalo na pag biyaheng Manila. Super duper polluted.
Iba't ibang klase rin ang mga nakakatagpo mo sa jeep. Kanina, may nakasabay akong Korean couple. Cute nilang pair. Ang sarap nilang pakinggan...para kasi silang kumakanta sa accent nila. Then, came the time na kailangan na nilang bumaba. Sabi nung guy, "Stop please!" Hehe! Tinawan siya nung girl...she murmured something in Korean which I can only guess. Then, she said, "Para po." Pero siyempre, iba yung accent.
Minsan, may nakasakay na rin akong baliw. Scary. Nasa tapat ko. Hindi naman magulo...nagtatalo lang sila nung driver. Pero scary talaga. Psych student pa ako niyan ha.
Pinaka-hate ko ng kasakay yung mga maiingay na coñotic daw. Yung laging may "f*cking!" sa sentence. Kakabwiset pakinggan noh. Ang ingay. May bata pa naman sa jeep. Baga gayahin. May "shit" pa nga at "sucks"...haay!
Meron din namang mga ligaw na tao. Gaya nung nakasabay ko minsan. Sabi niya, hanggang Ligaya lang siya...aba! Sinabi na nga nung taga-tanggap ng bayad na Ligaya na pero hindi bumaba. Nang malaman na lumagpas na, halos maiyak. Weird lang talaga...
Naranasan ko na rin sumakay sa jeep na kumakarera pala at hindi namamasada...yung tipong race track yung kalye. Basta! Kakaiba lang...buti na lang at malapit lang yung pupuntahan ko. When I finally stepped out and landed on firm ground, laking pasalamat ko sa langit.
Meron namang iba na pwet na ang naglalanding sa semento. Mas madalas itong makita kung tag-ulan o kung bago ang sapatos at madulas pa ang ilalim nito.
Hindi ba kayo natutuwa sa mga pautot ng mga jeepney...yung mga "press button to stop" or "pull string to stop"? Siguro, para ito sa mga taong hindi makapagsalita o kaya naman may sore throat at hindi makasigaw...watdyathink? Para rin ito sa mga bingi na driver na hindi makarinig ng "Para po!" kahit katabi mo na siya. Panay kasi ang kakaisip ng malalim. Baka naman nabingi na sa malakas na sound system sa kabilang jeep.
Sa tagal tagal nang ibiniyahe ko sa rutang Cypress-Katipunan, dalawang beses pa lang akong sinusuklian ng tama at sakto. 8.50 lang dapat kasi...minsan 9 yung sinisingil. Kaya nga ang diskarte ko (na turo ng aking kapatid) eh magbayad ng saktong 8...eh student pa nga kami eh.
I've also had my fair share of funny jeep experiences...share ko na lang din para fair diba...;)
Dati, nung onti pa lang ang mga jeep na may "pull the string to stop", feel na feel kong maghila ng tali. Kasama ko sina mama at cathe non. Siyempre, feeling ko naman nasa subdivision na kami...eh di todo hila ako. Eh PLDT pa lang pala 'yon. Medyo malapit na pero lalakarin pa rin. Nahiya na yung mga kasama ko. Bumaba na lang kami. Ang nakakahiya lang naman talaga don eh may kasabay kaming kakilala na taga-subdivision din. Siguro, deep in his mind, pinagtatawanan na niya ako. As for ma and cathe, halos itakwil na nila ako non. Hehe!=P
Kung may sumisigaw ng "Pabili po!" sa jeep, ako naman eh "Bayad po!" ang sinasabi pag pumapara. Tawa ako ng tawa non. Kinahihiya na nga ako ng kapatid ko. Todo titig yung mga tao sa akin like I'm some kind of "nut".
Naranasan ko na rin yung mabingi. Sabi ng driver, "May Santolan ba dyan?!". Akala ko sabi niya "Katipunan". Umo-o lang ako...tapos tumigil sa Santolan. Hindi ako bumaba noh. Nagmukha lang uli akong engot don.
The best thing about all these? Malamang, hindi ko na makakasabay ulit sa jeep yung mga pasaherong nakasabay ko during these awkward moments...unless, coincidence brings us together again diba?
Hanggang sa susunod na jeepney ride na nga muna...Tutal, if every individual is unique, every jeepney ride is unique also.
I leave you with this thought from sir david aka sir fgd..."Life is a product of chance...chance is the basic law of nature." Good night everyone!:) --> este..Good morning na pala!

juSt feeLing gooD...:)
i just finished showing my uncle some of the new pictures we took from our vacation...then i realized that i haven't even posted much here as i've said before...i created a blog at friendster...i just like the photo album feature...other than that, i'll always post here for updates and stuff...it seems more apt and convenient...
you might be wondering how i managed to post twice this day despite being busy...well, my exam this saturday has been cancelled...i so love my prof this summer...although sir fgd dismissed us at 7:30 pm...he asked us if it was time already...obviously! good thing that my father fetched me tonight...
cathe already bought shirts at happy days...geesh! i want one too...kaya lang, new stocks will be arriving in two weeks time...i might as well wait till then...i really need money na...
ma and pa are going to quezon tomorrow...i wanna come too but my sked can't permit it...haay...i asked pa to allow me to drive the car to school...kung kaya ko ba raw eh di sige...scary noh...parang alangan...he keeps on asking me if i want a SUV...and i keep telling him i don't mind a second hand one as long as it looks nice and is functional...i should have received that eons ago pa nga eh...and now, i still am waiting...it also won't hurt if i have gasoline allowance...otherwise, i may have to join those jeepney groups and protest on the oil price hike and stuff like that (on which i am not that knowledgeable of)...
it just feels different knowing that i'd be graduating next year already...parang ang tanda ko na...i'd be reaching my twenties already and damn...time does fly fast when you're changing and adding digits to your age...my prof even tells himself how hold he is and that he won't survive long already...i just have this strange feeling that he has totally accepted death already...anyway, when i was watching my usual telenovelas awhile ago, i realized that a lot of things has been keeping me young in a certain sense...especially my friends...the best would be mart and aa...we've been friends since uhm...i think it was sometime after i had one of my first tooth taken out by their dentist mom...since then, we've been this crazy, happy bunch who'd always be blamed for the jokes and the noise...iba raw pag nagsama kaming apat...even now, if we get the chance to meet up (they're in iloilo already), we'd still things as if we weren't college students already...and it's just pure fun...things i still hope to do even if i turn 30 perhaps...after all, sabi nga nila, med students (like i would be next year perhaps) have one of the longest youth...;)
second on my list would be krystel and cj...my telebabad mates...actually, marami pang iba like danci, joy, and a lot of my psych buds...i almost didn't get to know them...nakakalungkot lang coz i only got to know them well last semester...sila yung drugs ng buhay ko...;) with them, i'd always suffer the case of "ngalay jaws" due to undescribable laughter...totoong-totoo yung lahat...walang dull moment...i have finally tried things i haven't really tried before...
come to think of it, years ago, i thought of entering the convent for some personal reasons...but then again, i'd have a different kind of social life in there which i probably won't stand long enough...i just am happy now with what i have become and with what i have...i might as well enjoy this moment...carpe diem!

it's so hot!!!
obviously, ang init ngayon...i change clothes more often now...and they say it's going to get even hotter til May...can you just imagine!i so love our aircon now...sometimes, me and my sis would sleep in our 'rent's room and squeeze ourselves in the li'l space left on the floor just so we could get a cool, good night sleep...that is, we have jamjam, our doggy beside us who smell like...uhm...a dog with bad breath...hehe! =P but we love him as he is...
i miss posting a lot...say...everyday? the PC won't even cooperate...just when i have the time to do some inet surfing, the PC won't just start right...and i have to wait a full 10 minutes or so just so it could function properly...i really should have this fixed...
just came from a class a while ago...psych 160 lab...it was supposed to start at around 8am but guess what...my prof came in at around 9:30...and to think of it, i was the earliest one around...sheesh! i should have slept more in the comfort of my parent's airconditioned room...
anyway, something exciting happened to me today...we finally got to start holding the human brain (with gloves of course)...i had to go early so i only got to clean part of it...exciting naman talaga eh...it isn't as icky as dissecting a frog (although i don't find that to be icky)...i just don't like the smell of formalin especially when it gets in your eyes...me? crying over a brain? no way!
share ko lang...it's just so funny when my prof gets to ask those awkward questions to wrong people...we have only three males in the class...2 are confirmed not to be straight...and my prof would ask them questions involving women and relationships...hehe! it's just so awkward...and my prof would just ramble on different topics...like nipples and stuff...oh well...
i'll be having a class again later at 5pm...that class sure is interesting...my prof's great...i never get sleepy in his class...i just get warm...eh kasi pinahihinaan niya yung aircon...he's old and he gets cold easily...
sometimes, we talked about taking medicine...natawa lang ako sa sinabi niya, "By the time you finish studying, you are ready to retire."
tapos, for those taking a lot of degrees, he said, "You'll have more degrees than the centigrade."
-o0O0o-
tanungin ko nga kayo...
lagi bang may fairy and fairytales?
eh ang cocktails...may cock and tail ba?
eh bakit may langhap sarap ang Jollibee? ako alam ko...;) the Jollibee management did a study kasi on filipino eating habits...and they found out that filipinos like to smell their food before eating it...so, don't ever wonder why food from jollibee smell so good...it is the result of a million peso study (that's according to my prof)
-o0O0o-
i'll end this for now...ang init talaga...i want to sleep before i go back to class later...
how could i have missed those complimentary light fraps at starbucks??? arggh!
i leave you with this line from sir fgd: "maraming accidents sa buhay...you just have to respond to it...but avoid real accidents." =P | nadZ went splisha-splashing at 1:13 pm

raNdoM thougHts...
fudge! nagloko na naman ang blogger...lost my previous post...-o0O0o-
finally found the time to post something...coz i have this really weird sked this sem...a 9-11 and 5-7 class...a 6-hr break in between...
that just gives me enough time to go home, eat lunch, sleep for at least an hour, then go back to school at 3:30...
it really isn't a hassle for me...i'm sleep deprived...i really need the break...
unfortunately, my wallet is depressed...like that of bang's and danci's...at least i'm not alone for now...
-o0O0o-
summer classes didn't start well for me...not good for a first time experience...
first day: transport strike...bad trip! my sis lost her big pink teddy keychain...
second day: i was wearing my fave shell bracelet...i was already wearing my white puca bracelet but then, i opted to wear my fave bracelet...i seldom wear it since the clasp's quite loose...anyway, i checked on it before crossing the street...when i checked it again on the other side of the street, it was not on my wrist already...lo and behold, it was lying in the street...i tried to rescue it but "crunch!"...an oncoming van destroyed it...halos maiyak ako...i was frustrated for not having rescued it on time...i must have looked stupid right then and there...i crossed the street and came back just when i was in the middle of the road...para akong naglaro sa kalye...my sis tried to get the remnants of my bracelet pero durog talaga...
i swear...i'm going to find another one just like that bracelet...hopefully, the clasp would be more secure...i just feel bad because i got the original one at a bargain...a new pair would be so expensive...oh well...bora's my only hope for now...
and oh...try checking the street between petron and mmda katips...you might see the remnants of my bracelet...i saw a piece yesterday eh...
on the way home that evening, i unluckily rode this freaking jeepney...the driver drives as if he were on a racing track...there were three sabit guys at the back which were ever so noisy in scaring the passengers...one was even harassing the girl in front of me...the middle-aged lady beside me seem to be looking for assurance and help from me...i can see it in her eyes...three passengers actually went down the jeepney because of fear...
third day: i photocopied a chapter of a book...i tried to clip it in my new folder...apparently, the clip can't handle the thickness of the file...it broke...how lucky can i get, huh?
fourth day: i went to national bookstore to buy some stuff...the most important of which is a highlighter...but when i was in the jeepney on my way home to the subdivision, i realized that i failed to buy a highlighter...so stupid of me! now, i can't highlight my book yet...darn!
fifth day: that will be later...no lab classes! yehey! we'll see...
-o0O0o-
i kinda like my psych 160 lec prof...si sir fgd =P...
great prof...really...inspite of the fact that he speaks softly...i tell you, i'll learn lip reading before the summer is over...
joy has been recording the lectures...i told her to better use the vid cam...sir fgd's gestures and funny faces are so hilarious...truly cam worthy! ;)
-o0O0o-
there's this mmda sound van in front of RP Metro East...one mmda person said to the sabit jeepney passengers, "siguraduhin niyong insured kayo ha..." just found that funny...;)
-o0O0o-
oh...it's danci's birthday today...happy birthday!
-o0O0o-
have tons of pictures to post! thanks siege!

summer happened so fast...
am so tired yet so fulfilled and happy...three nights din akong hindi natulog sa kama ko...
three nights of cramming my whole vacation...
hmm...as i said earlier, i've been to club manila east last wednesday and thursday...originally, it was my sister's barkada outing...since they're so friendly, they invited me to come...fine! it was more of me inviting myself since they're going swimming at club manila east and i've never been there and i wanted to go there...so there!
i went shopping with cathe and kim last monday (april 11)...i bought a new bikini bottom for my old tankini to make it look different...i didn't have that much dough to buy a new tankini kasi...my money's not even enough for me to buy a new pair of board shorts like the one i saw at penshoppe...it's not that i don't have any money at all...i was just being thrifty for future expenses like more shopping at glorietta with my sis and going sportclimbing at Nature's Park sometime this weekend. anyway, after much thought that day, along with cla's cool idea, me, cathe, and kim decided to pool some cash so that we can spend the night at club manila east...after some careful accounting and several phone calls to different people, we were able to pool enough cash for a nice villa at the CME.
as if it was our lucky day last wednesday, we were able to generate a big amount of cash enough for one meal at the CME...we needed that because we can't bring food and drinks inside the resort...imagine this, to save money, we brought our own baon and ate at the parking lot using our sarongs as mat. it was still fun despite the heat...we also rented a locker until noon since we can't enter the villa earlier. it was a good thing that one of us had a car where we can put all our belongings for the meantime.
it was fun being with my sister's friends...there were nine of us that time...CME was a class AA resort...it was so big...we went boating in one of the pools...it was a good exercise...the villa was so beautiful too...i can live there already...it has a bathtub, tv, microwave oven, ref, dining set and much more...
i had my summer lines (as cal would have it) after that...it was so cool...having spent my own money for my own vacation...
we left at about noon last thursday to go to UP for enrollment...wala pa nga kaming money ni sis...hinabol lang ni papa at around 4 pm...the line at AS was long already so we paid at the Melchor bldg.
later on at around midnight, my father decided to bring us along for his trip to bicol...i'm kinda used to that...spontaneous packing and all...there were 7 of us in my dad's relatively new van...all four of us in the family plus tito nanding, tito ben, and tito dick...the 10 hour drive was really worth it. bicol is so beautiful...it also happens that the province where we stayed is my bessy's province too...we stayed at a hotel for two nights...i didn't swim though since i was somewhat saturated from all the swimming i did for the past few days...but i do have to admit that the water seems to lure me...
the food was not that great though...so usual...hey! but at least we had food to eat right? i got to see the mayon volcano and the cagsawa ruins last saturday...i tell you, i had fun shopping that day...the bags there are so cheap...if it just wasn't tiring to go back and forth to bicol, i'd be going back there every weekend to go bag shopping...
we went back home at around noon that sunday...we arrived here at cainta at around 12 midnight...it was such a long ride since the traffic was heavy at SLEX...
and now, summer classes has started...transport strike pa...i had trouble going back home...good thing that my sister was with me...we hitched a ride from her blockmate...then we rode the FX back home...good thing we weren't stranded...they should've suspended classes earlier sana...
and now, i gotta rest...am so tired...

hay naku! next time na nga yung ibang news...nagmamadali na ako...
ayon...pag-uwi namin, kumain lang ako saglit then dumiretso na ako sa UP for enrollment...i also got my classcards...weird...yung ini-expect ko na mababa eh tumaas tapos yung ini-expect ko na mataas eh bumaba naman...nyark!
and now, i should be packing for the trip to bicol...so there...
have to go! baka maiwan ako...;)

the rants of someone with a terrible headache...
yahoo!have 3 more days before enrollment...3 days to cram the first phase of my summer vacation...
the trip to puerto galera/bora this summer is still under negotiation (this one's for the break between the end of summer classes and before the first sem)...
still, am going to go swimming this wednesday at club manila east...hehe!;) am going to be bankrupt again...
i hope i have the time to swimsuit/flipflops shopping...but then again...i don't have the money...nyark!
just wanna share...i just took the NMAT a while ago at CSB...i never thought it would take that long to finish it...Filipino time talaga...the admission slip said we should be there at 7am...the first part started at 8am...then the second part started at 1pm...therefore, i went home at around 5pm already bringing with me a terrible headache...still, the Internet calls...therefore, here i am...posting...
had satisfied my craving for yellowcab's pizza kanina...buti na lang! heaven talaga...after 2 months of craving...finally!
scary yung predictions after the pope's death, in case you've read or heard about it...so many coincidences to not even bother about it diba? naalala ko tuloy dati...world youth day...i think that was 1995...the pope was supposed to go to luneta ata...basta...yung madalas ipakita sa TV wherein he spoke Filipino...we went there before sunrise...and sat at the cement just to wait for him...but we never really saw him after hours of waiting...pero grabe non...siksikan...how can i ever forget that? then, i think it was less than a week after when papa naman run over the foot of a youth delegate sa may sta. ana church...hehe! ;) pinahilot pa tuloy namin sa tabi-tabi...
and how can i forget?! some teachers from GVS lost our tape on the world youth day...uso yon that time...yung may single na "tell the world of his love"...really...i don't remember that cassette tape being returned...
ano pa bang isi-share ko? hmm...hindi raw bakla si piolo? hehe! i've been watching too much talkshows na...kaya naman nagkaka-information overload ang aking brain...aral...nood TV...kain...result: katabaan...haay!

vacation mode: ON!
Yey! The second sem is officially over. Fortunately, I was exempted from my Bio12 finals. Am just so happy. Well, now I'm buried in piles of NMAT reviewers (that's quite exaggerated). May taga-motivate...si Joyie. Feeling ko, nandyan siya sa balikat ko...bumubulong na mag-aral na ako for the NMAT this Sunday. Uy ha...guardian angel ko naman 'yon. Really.I'm still hung-over from the movie I watched the other night..."The Original Sin". There were a lot of nudity and exposure (not for the faint of heart) but the plot was really great. Sabi nga ni Angelina Jolie, one of the main characters in the movie, "It is not a lovestory...rather, it is a story about love." Ang ganda talaga...am not bitter Cathe. How can a movie like that trigger bitterness?
So there...have to study pa.
Ta-ta!

tHe luV buG stRikes biG tiMe!
It really exhausting to talk about love especially if you know less about it...either from lack of experience or...or...trauma? Well, the latter's not for me though.It seems like everyone's been bitten by the love bug.
Sabi nga ng kanta ng MYMP, "Love moves in mysterious ways..." In the first place, why should love be mysterious anyway?! Like duH?!
Before I rant all about love, just wanna share how busy I've been for the past few days...enough to merit a nomination for the most ngarag award this week...
Had finished tons of exams and paperwork...don't wanna even think about it.
Despite all the work, I took the time off last Good Friday and Black Saturday. Off we went to Lucban with my fam. Nandito kasi ang Saliendra family. Had lots of fun...despite the rain. I presume the heat was concentrated here in Manila coz it was very cold there. We didn't bring any jacket thinking na mainit (eh sa mainit talaga ngayon, right?!). Me and sis also brought our schoolwork with us...eww! At least Mart helped her in her comics project while I was nearly sleeping reading my big bio book. Haay! Kung pwede lang magpatulong mag-memorize...then I'd just have to use a flash disc and get the needed files from that person's brain and download the memory in my own brain. High tech! Sana ma-imbento na siya if ever. ;)
We climbed this grotto...Via Dolorosa if I'm not mistaken. 286 steps ata siya pababa...ewan ko lang if same pataas...baka naman. Nakakapagod pero ang saya...eh sa masaya yung mga kasama ko. The view was nice too. Well, it was still drizzling, but everything went well. Mama and Dra went to the healing mass session. Then we ate pansit habhab...it reminds me of how dogs eat, but still it was fun. It was yummy!
Had a long YM conversation with Danci...I think that was last Tuesday. Gawd! It is only now that I realize how "makulit" he can be when the topic's on love. And it was me doing most of the sharing...he was acting like "Danci the Mango". He was being poetic at one point. Siya na rin ang nagsabi...people in love become poetic. Anyway, the conversation seemed to be unidirectional for me. When I ask him on love, he just kept on saying "no comment". I usually am the "no comment" person, not him. If Paris Hilton can put a trademark on the phrase "That's Hot!", maybe I can put a trademark on "no comment" too, right?
For 18 years, I never had a boyfriend just because of some car which I still don’t have til now (while my dad has his new baby already). Despite of that, I still believe that I have chosen wisely to put my lovelife in priority. But, there are times in life when love life is such a big deal. I feel as if I'm in a pit where love is such a big issue when it should be not. I’d be in denial if I tell you that I don’t care about love. I do care. And I’m this state of confusion which I’d rather not dwell on. Sabi nga ni Joy, might as well flush it in the toilet bowl...I have my NMAT exams to deal with for now.
For whatever reason, I changed the song on my blog already...just to emphasize how crazy I am. ;) Oddly though, I'm not the only one bitten by the love bug lately. I wonder what's up there with astronomy. "Crazy For You" has underwent quite a number of revivals already...see?! A lot people could probably relate...just don't take the song too literally.
As if to rub everything in, my horoscope (be it through text or email) are all about love too. Let me share:
After the drama of the past week or so, it's time to get back to work. And if anyone is ready, it's you. Roll up your sleeves and dig in. It's time to make up for lost time.
26-03-05 - Now's the best time to be single, really. Potential partnerships are full of challenges now, so just enjoy the freedom that's all yours!
30-03-05 - Just because you're torn about something doesn't mean everyone has to see your ragged edge. Put the love issue on the shelf and pull urself together!
O diba? Ang labo...I'll post pictures in my next post na lang...I just love my sister's digicam. It sure knows how to keep me busy.
I'm starting to enter vacation mode already. Hopefully, I'd be able to convince Papa on a Bora or Puerto Galera trip this May (since I'd be taking summer classes). I really wanna go on a vacation. Just wanna keep myself busy.
