a brief review of days gone by...

Whew! Wash day again today...got rid of the whites... got rid of my delicate clothes... damn! Still got a looong way to go. Atleast I'm pacing myself nicely (refer to prior post) :p

Well, I had a blast yesterday...erm...scratch that, two days ago (time check: 12:52 AM) at Enchanted Kingdom. T'was CMO's xmas celebration for the regular shift employees. My heartfelt thanks to ate Bel for stowing away...este "procuring" a ticket for me. Hehehe...

Mich wasn't supposed to go, but I egged her on (when I say "egged" I mean I promised her a free ride. Bwahahahaha) so it was decided...next I had to dupe my sister into going. After all, she was the one who'll drive us. The good thing was, her bestfriend Lourdes (more popularly known as "Lourd"...as in "Lord") had ticket vouchers that she got as a gift from her boss. So we were set! Four free tickets and two free pizzas! ->courtesy of the good people at CMO and Domino's. :)

We decided to leave Manila by 9AM. Lourd was going to our house at 830 and we'd just pick up Mich at La Salle before 9. Lourd arrived on time but alas, our schedule was simply not meant to be (here's where things get ugly) Mich left her place late, got stuck in Espana while we got stuck in an unticipated Saturday morning Roxas Blvd. traffic. My sister kept on bitchin' about how we were so gonna get stuck in the SLEX because it was getting late and shit (and this was all happening with the A/C TURNED OFF!!!! because our car just recently dropped dead due to an overheated engine thanks to a sucky radiator!!!) . We finally got to Vito Cruz only to find out Mich was still leagues away from school. So we decided to grab a bite to eat and since McDonald's was offering twister fries this season...it was a fairly easy to decide on where to eat. We stopped by McDo near Harrison and just ate our Sausage McMuffin's...then we drove by BPI across Starbucks to get Mich and it was off to EK. The rest of the way was pretty uneventful but smooth.

When we finally got to EK...it was friggin scorching! Good thing I was wearing aviators and had on a thick coating of sunblock! We had a blast! Although we didn't get on any of the "wet" rides (darnit! I even brought extra clothes with me!!!) the Go-Karts made up for every single sucky event!

I didn't get to see Van. I just miss my Intel family and I can't wait to go back there.

a blatant plug for a movie I adore

For those of you who haven't seen the ex-indie film (I think Sony bought the rights for DVD sales) "My Life Without Me"...

Go watch it....LIKE NOW!!!

I swear it's worth every second of your time. And if anyone sees a VCD or DVD of it somewhere, contact me ASAP! I'm soooo buying it. I saw this film once in 2003 and again tonight. It's just precious.

Also, if you've got ebook copies of "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", "Catch-22"...and other "GOOD" reads...DO SHARE!

on achievement...and pure irritation

Whew! I finallyfinished my Xmas shopping! Woopeedoodeedoo!!!

It feels good to accomplish something y'know?

I had a hectic day with my mom. We started off going to Cityland Pasong Tamo to visit my tita Inday (one of mom's great friends), then we dropped by my ninang's pre-school in Pasay because my mom and I helped out with the costumes for the kids' Xmas presentation...then we decided to battle it out in Divisoria! I cannot begin to tell you how crowded it was!!!!

I enjoy going to tiangges in general and Divisoria is always a place I hold close to my heart...but I'm telling you, it's friggin harrassing to walk the sreets!!!!! And let me tell you, the words: "EXCUSE ME" or "EXCUSE US" (I'm with my mom remember???) DO NOT WORK ON THESE PEOPLE!!!! When you say 'sxuse me, they actually look at you like you're retarded or sumthin! I'm like: "what??!!! Never heard a person say 'scuse me before??!!!"

Decency and consideration are ideas that do not exist in this part of the metro...

What the hell is wrong with this country???

on the verge of a communications breakdown

I have been experiencing sucky Cellular Service this past few weeks. I mean, I'm a loyal Globe subscirber and all but heck, I can't even send friggin SMSs!!!

I called their "24 Hour Call-In Service" (punyeta! I've even memorized the pre-recorded voice prompts!) They keep on telling me to check after 24 hours and if I'm still having the same problems, I should like, call back...AGAIN!

I don't know what to do anymore. Don't they understand that a my mobile phone is the only thing that keeps me sane?...este, connected? I have to keep on resending the same SMS over and over again. This sucks...BIG TIME!!!

I almost forgot...

Due to my overwhelming emotions regarding tomorrow's (time check...yep, still two minutes before tomorrow become today...bwahahaha...babaw) wedding, I forgotto rant about the new friggin Harry Potter movie.

IT SUCKS DOESN'T IT???

I mean, if you read the book, you would know that they condensed the entire friggin book into a friggin phamplet!!! Where did the whole experience with giants go??? Where was the whole Fleur is part Veela concept (unless your a registered dork who checks out the site to see them "mention" that little bit of info).

I understand that they need to make short movies if they want to stay on budget...but hellooooo??!!

the wedding...

Well, I finally decided on my clothes for tomorrow. I'm off to see a cousin of mine get wed. She kinda like, kinda like got ummm...PREGNANT!!!

I mean, how dumb is that??? I agree that babies are cute and cuddly...but she is soooo not ready to have one!

I know I'M not ready. I guess the question is: WHO IS READY ANYWAYS??? And do you really have to get tied down because you got someone or yourself pregnant?

HELL NO!

just when you thought it was safe to kick back and relax...

Isn't it amazing how our parents bug us at most opportune moment? I mean, they all have the penchant for pushing all the wrong buttons and irking the hell out of us.

My dad has this ongoing mission to "beautify" our house. I mean, I love the fresh paint, the new cabinets...but let me tell you, he crossed the line when he decided to put friggin marble slabs on our floor! I mean it's pretty and all but heck! Do you guys have any idea how much hard work it takes to do that kind of shit???

I was cooking dinner, y'know? Fuzzing and making sure everything's just great. When lo and behold, my dad shouts my name and asks me to do something. Y'know what it was??? He was asking me to STEP ON THE GODDAMN tiles to make 'em sink on wet cement! And let me tell you, I just had my toenails done, and he was actually expecting me to step on newly plastered marble knowing all too well that the excess cement was going to goo up my toes. Eeeeew much!!!

I had this look on my face saying: "are you fuckin serious???" and he was like: "do I have something on my face???"

Puhleeez!

Wash day and then some...

Since I finished my internship last Friday...I just vegged out the entire weekend. I was trying to see if the reality of my new "BUM" status would fall on me like a bunch of bricks come Monday. Well it didn't...until Van PMed me in YM telling me how she misses our chats...GODAMNIT!!! I almost believed I was over it y'know???

So to take my mind off this bitter realization, I decided to catch up on my laundry. This simple distraction turned into a full wash'em all vendetta against dirty laundry. My whole laundry binge lasted for a whole two days!

Like fuck! After my rampage, I was settling down when I realized I now had tons of clothes to fold. Talk about coming down from a high!

After a long blogging hiatus...

I guess I'm back...and more demented than before.

I know, the world is just expecting great things from me. (It's called "sarcasm" people!)
