"pa-ring naman ng phone ko,please?", with matching worried look. i don't like to see(and hear) my friends like this. na-wiwindang din ako. its such a hassle to lose a phone nowadays. its like losing a relationship minus the whining to that "thing" afterwards. what's the use of whining when the "thing" has already been stolen by some unreasonable-useless-mindless whoever?! you're used to seeing it for before and after sleeping, you are very associated with it already, you have learned to love every inch of it..tas may kukuha lang bigla?!! hassle talaga! unfortunately, mukhang uso nanaman ang nakawan ng phone ngayon. just like what aix' mom said, "magpapasko nanaman kasi!". so sad as it seems, but its true. its really ashame to associate more crimes during Christmas times. people who work hard are the victims, the ones who want easy money, win. well, who said life is fair right? nothing's perfect. it just needs all the strategy it can get. u lose some, u win some.

he had to say it for me to believe it. i didn't want to assume i figured out what he wanted to say, though i did with the first line only..but still, i wanted to hear it (or read it in that way). just like what jem has taught me, "never assume until it was said to you.". nahiya siya. i said, "quits lang tayo". that was the start. it was weird and blissful at the same time. it was a year late, but it had valid reasons. it has been a week. he's not here. we're three hours apart, him on advance. my side, two constant confidants. his side? i never asked. i feel that there is unreasonable longing at the moment. i can't be very attached to the situation, to his words. its better to take things slow...just one step at a time.steady muna..mahirap na.

it was so scary when my friend(i prefer to not disclose his name) was tellling me about his AsTRaL TRaVeL. he never meant to have gone through it, he never planned it. the sleep was just very deep, then he suddenly felt that he was separated from his physical body. he saw his own body on his own bed..not moving. he tried to move his hands, but it stayed still. the whole story was freaking me out(i can't write it in detail here..natatakot ako) and causing me goosebumps, maybe because he is a close friend and sobrang hassle kung biglang malaman kong di makabalik sya sa katawan nya,which means......oh!fuck!please...no. it was his third time two days ago, and he confessed that he didn't want to experience it again. the problem is, its uncontrollable in his part. it might strike anytime. i asked him to see a professional, maybe its something serious already. astral travels are only for those who meant to do it, but him? well..it comes to him. medyo weird na interesting, diba? pero...if the spirit won't come back to the physical body.....it only means one thing..... =' ( that's the scary(and sad) part.

seems like everything's falling into its places once again. i know i love him already---AS A FRIEND, its a lot better this way,he'll always have a special place in my heart (yak!ang baduuuy!!!pero ganun talaga! =p)..and a year delayed confession took place just a few days ago and its running smoothly so far. im having those "questions" on my mind already but im pretty happy with the whole "thing" (right, babe?)..taking it slow, one step at a time. and in line with this, i just took a quiz that i got from vic's blog....

Mandy Moore Take Two
(november 22, 2003)
i was supposed to PA for the fashion show but i guess my contact had a miscommunication with the management, so i ended up just watching the rehearsal until the show proper..but still got paid!
Cinema 3, Megamall. performances by nina, roselle nava and chedi as opening, singing Mandy Moore songs. followed by a fashion show by Penshoppe with the Ateneo dancers. then a chance to meet and see Mandy...her fans screamed and cheered for her as soon as she appeared on stage. Patty(as in VJ Patty) was the host of the event. she welcomed her, greeted her....TALKED TO HER (one of the few fortunate ones!!) and shook hands with Mandy Moore. they set-up the stage to have an autograph signing for the 40 Meet and Greet Contest Winners of Penshoppe and she also answered questions from the fans. before the brief event ended, Akafellas sang "Cry" for Mandy, as Penshoppe's "thank you" gift. the whole group (akafellas) was so starstruck and showed their admiration shamelessly...Mandy was obviously amazed herself, and was just clapping away for the Akafellas. grabeh!kilig na kilig ang Akafellas!!
im starting to be a real fan of this Penshoppe gurl...i saw her twice in Manila, witnessed her get pissed and humbly apologize afterwards, admired her performance that was full of great energy & elegance, can testify for her overwhelmed response to her Filipino fans and actually, appreciated her songs, style and attitude more. parang close na kami,ah! =p but seriously, this was a once in a lifetime experience...

Penshoppe Welcomes Mandy In Manila
(november 20, 2003)
it was such a treat to have seen Mandy Moore (for free!!!!) in person. i wasn't close enough to accurately say how tall she is though, but im happy that i did. she has this girl next door look, that, you wouldn't miss getting a glimpse on her when she's around. she looks really young, (which she really is) and was very soft spoken and crazy at the same time. when there was trouble on the sound system(the monitors weren't cooperating!), as a normal human being, she expressed her frustration vocally but not in a bratty way. she was very concerned about her band too, not the selfish kind of "leads". they rehearsed each song in the repertoire(tama ba spelling? =p ), and managed to joke around instead of dwelling on their frustrations on the kapalpakan ng sound system. after her rehearsal, she politely apologized to the whole crew for complaining too much (pero, sa tingin ko...hindi nga masyado, compared to some artists...). the same thing happened with Arnee and Jay-R's rehearsals..haaay....sobrang hassle for the artists talaga yun, kung pwede lang makialam sa sounds eh, sa lights kasi ako this time. then the models for the Penshoppe fashion show and the Ateneo dancers rehearsed naman.
the show proper was opened by a fashion show then followed by the two front acts by Arnee and Jay-R. in fairness, both had great performance levels. the whole crowd were shouting "Mandy" and waving their neons on the air, impatiently waiting for Mandy. there was a cd being played while waiting, and everytime a song would stop, the crowd would hype up and assume that the Mandy will start already. ang cute nilang lahat..it really showed how much she's so accepted by all classes. finally, after 20 to 30 minutes after the front acts, Mandy came out dressed in a chique sleeved-top and jeans paired with stilletos. oh!yes, that simple but she looked so elegant on stage. her shoulder-length hair was curled a bit to make her look moooore sophiscticated as she is. ang bilis ng buong line-up, including the "moooooore"...there were a minute or two spiels lang kasi and i think the songs were pretty short too.
over-all, the show was great. i saw smiling faces after the show had ended, but i guess everyone would agree on me saying, "bitin!" =)

the iNsPiRaTioN at the moment
haha.ü ayaw pa kasing aminin na bumabalik eh. this time, i want it to work, not just a distant admiration but a real one. it started from zero, no connection, until that very day when a door opened and gave friendship a chance. we've been sharing stories, heartaches, jokes, kababawans, confusions, and dreams for the past months. he's getting along well with my friends and i am with his, as well. he turned out to be someone whom you can have fun with and get serious at the same time. he's not all good but not bad at all. he's that person i never thought i could meet early in my life. i don't want to get carried away with the chances...circumstances..fortunate moments but all i can say is...he is for keeps. the friendship we are sharing now will be remembered and be grateful of eternally, whatever happens...this is for real.

ok, this is crazy! i was innocently checking george's page. i noticed that one of his friends changed the prime pic, so naturally i clicked on that friend's name to view the picture clearer...only to discover that, the friend's new boyfriend is a new friend of mine. and george's friend is our (george and i) friend's ex, which fortunately stayed friends with our friend. nakuha mo? babaw lang para sa iba pero, PicKLe!!!!!! may personal reasons ako kaya naka-react ako ng ganito. only a few of my friends would understand why. i just can't believe it...she is his bestfriend all the while. when they(our friend and george's friend) were still together, we've always planned for me to meet george's friend but none of the many plans pushed through and i've always wondered why i never got the chance to meet her. clearly, now i know why...
haaay...pickle talaga

GMA truly was below 5” but her charisma and confidence clearly exudes in her walk and smile. Bing got starstruck, Primo took her picture, while Aiko and I stood behind the big man and greeted her with a beam. She was radiant in every way, she has the motherly look with a pinch of loveliness. Her charisma speaks for her smile but there is still a feel of respect that one will never miss to give her. PSG's were all over, security was tightened and there were so many students in business attire. College of St. Benilde welcomed the incumbent president. The purpose was a "Task Force Safety" talk. No campaigns, just plain talk about the safety. I doubted the objective at first, but hey, it was met. I wasn't fortunate enough to witness the "seminar"(but originally, i was scheduled to be a participant)due to the never-ending moving of schedule, but hearing from the attendees, it was a pleasant experience. Seeing the president up close and actually receiving a smile from her is an experience anyone would be grateful of..and truly, i am. I'm still hoping to listen to her speech for the 2004 election. At this point, I still don't have a vote but definitely, it won't be FPJ(if he announces his candidacy). So far, there is no other eligible candidate than GMA, but still who knows?

we were spending so much time before, joking around most of the time and getting into kalokohans together...only to realize that there was no real connection(maybe since the start). tension started to build up when we believed different views in life. we couldn't compromise and we would always end up arguing instead. it saddened me more when i couldn't trust him/her anymore. the times we spent after were between a divided attention..there were different directions, different intentions and even different admirations for other people. i can't blame him/her if he/she can't trust me too now, i completely would understand that. but then, the friendship that we shared for almost a year just keeps clinging on me despite the misleading events that's passed. its very frustrating. i'm not the type to easily give away trust, so when it's broken(no matter how), it's very..very hard to give it back to that person. trust, is where i believe friendship..or any relationship for that matter, starts.

almost everyday, i see "manong" carrying his trustful basket of candy, chanting in his most powerful voice and maybe selling an average of three packs of candies in every bus at five pesos. five pesos a pack, that makes an average of fifteen pesos a bus ride. let's say he's able to ride one hundred fifty buses a day, that's...two thousand two hundred fifty pesos a day. what if he has a family to support? could that amount actually sustain a day in a man's life? he wears a different shirt everytime i see him come up the bus. i can notice that he gets darker and darker as days pass by and he's become thinner since day one, but he still walks down the aisle with a smile, chanting, "candy....candy", hoping to sell even just one pack of his product. whenever i have extra change,i see to it that i buy my favourite candy from his basket, maybe in that way i can help him. maybe in that way, i can open my mind and be thankful that i can still eat three times a day and go to school despite of the financial crisis our family has been going thru since year 2000. maybe in that way, i can remind myself that even if i don't go home to happy family, i still have a roof above my head and a bed to sleep into. maybe in that way, i can say that the Lord truly gives us all what we need...He has provided "manong" the candies to sell everyday, thus, giving him hope that someday...he'll be the one buying the candy at five pesos a pack.

smoked a stick outside Piper's, ate grilled squid for dinner, met new people, sang my heart out with the band and my friends, drank one bottle of Whappak, went to Greenbelt for coffee & dessert (but it was my worst order in Coffee Beans...i don't know what went wrong) then decided to walk around to check out the "costumed creatures" in the party, and was brought home by p300..that was how my Halloween went. really simple but very entertaining and worth remembering by.ü
