"You want to be with those who are considerate, happy for you when things go well, and supportive when you're going through a rough time, " says Sol Gordon, Ph.D., author of How Can You Tell If You're In Love? "People who try to control you, act jealous or resentful, and suck up your energy by saddling you with their problems (without listening to yours) aren't worth your time."-Cosmpolitan Philippines January 2004, p. 98
Almost a year ago, when I found out that *A told *S about our (group) secret, my trust started to lessen for *A. The issue worsens when *L came between us, we also began vying for the same simple/complex things. It put so much pressure on me because I can treat other people equally, but I can't do it the same with *A. Is/Was there more competition than compromise? Can trust be replaced soon, if not more like before, at least some of it? Up until this very day, the space is not filled completely. I've always had trust issues with people but this one's just eating me all up. I even chose to drop the whole uncertainty and face *A with a smile, instead of confrontation (sa mga tunay na nakakakilala sa'kin, nagulat siguro sila sa nabasa nila). Maybe it's a big reason that the manner of *A's aggressiveness is a given already and it just struck me when *L came along. Is that it? It's a big MAYBE. I've always believed that if there is a real connection between people, real friendship (with compromise, understanding and acceptance) will happen and stay for life. In this case, it turned around. I also noticed that this isn't the first for *A, there was also a similar friendship gone down the drain without settled grounds. Owell, iba-iba naman talaga. Mine's just this way. There's a big possibility that our ( *A & I) behavior will stay this way forever. *A is a big part of my fun times, and I'll never forget about that, I'll always be grateful of the things *A taught me. Meron lang talagang pumapagitan sa'min ngayon.

The DISCON '04 (March 5-7, 2004 at Camp John Hay, Baguio) is my first major raket. Shine, Lay and I are part of the design team under the supervision of Anne Generoso. We are assigned to conceptualize and implement two major venues in Camp John Hay. It's quite easy with the right connections of contractors, good quotations and excellent output. Except with the vital glitch, our supposed major boss...the "Chairman". Know-it-All, easily bought by big words (that obviously he's not aware of), and is not half of what a team leader is, are only a few words to describe him. No exaggerating here, even his board members and fellow chairmen are laughing behind his back on how dense (ang pinakamabait ko na pong deskripsyon ito) he can be. As his clients, (not to mention us, as still amateurs in the industry) are very well challenged of the ethics we learned in college that we are supposed to be expressing in our field. Naaawa na nga kaming tatlo kung minsan, pero talagang mapapamura ka sa ugali niyang walang pakialam sa ibang tao. Talaga palang may mga ganyang bosing, noh? I don't know if I can say we are fortunate or unfortunate to experience this at the start of our career. Fortunate? At least, we can handle worse kinds of clients in the future. Unfortunate? Corruption has filled our minds. For sure, this is one experience I can never forget.

| I am the Siren A man is often secretly oppressed by the role he has to play - by always having to be responsible, in control, and rational. The Siren is the ultimate male fantasy figure because she offers a total release form the limitations of his life. In her presence, which is always heightened and sexually charged, the male feels transported to a realm of pure pleasure. In a world where women are often too timid to project such an image, learn to take control of the male libido by embodying his fantasy. Symbol: Water. The song of the Siren is liquid and enticing, and the Siren herself is fluid and ungraspable. Like the sea, the Siren lures you with the promise of infinite adventure and pleasure. Forgetting past and future, men follow her far out to sea, where they drown. |

to bing, z and aix....
happy birthday, FoUr!!! 24 ka na! yung jersey namin?
we love you...still!!! =p
i RESPECT you
i am not a saint. i don't follow all the rules of life that i know. but, i guess i strictly follow my limits. kung kaya kong panindigan, gagawin ko nang walang pagsisi. this has always been my own golden rule. just sometimes, i get affected when im an "insider" of the story, the person being told to or confided to. don't get me wrong, i still will be a friend. i'll still listen, give advices and support my friend all the way..all because of respect and love to that friend. iba pala yung magiging pananaw mo pag close friend mo yung nasa sitwasyon na alangan. you'd want to tell your friend to get out of it and yet, there is truth, open-mindedness and sensitivity involved. you just can't force your words into him/her for he/she trusts you and is longing for understanding. you gladly give it, you become subtle on your advices but in the end, you should be there for a friend in need. mahirap kung wala ka talagang laban, but like what life is all about..you just have to be strong and fight for what you "think" is right. you need to adapt to deviant situations that not all can comprehend. as i've said, kung kaya kong panindigan, gagawin ko nang walang pagsisi..maybe this is his/her thoughts now.
i may not approve of the whole thing but i respect you, dear. i love you and will be there for you. hope you understand my feelings about it, the way that i understand your status now. -mari-

tHe sPaRk
and so...they all felt it, tried to guess if there was a spark. cHa-cHiNg!i guess there was.ü nahihiya lang talaga ako ikwento agad kasi sobrang fresh pa talaga and well...like our golden rule, No aSSuMing. even if there was a confirmation already, i still didn't want to make a major deal about it...yet. as in...not...yet. kilig talaga pero...haaay.ü one step at a time.ü
the GiFt
"mariii!grabeh..first time nangyari yun....", was how the climax unfolded. it was one of those situations when you don't expect to fail. they were both shocked, got scared and ended up just hugging each other. after a few minutes of contemplating, she got out of the room, went to the sala and turned on the tv. "buti na lang, safe ako.", she concluded. but still, nothing is 100% guaranteed. the gift was supposed to lessen the alarm but did the opposite. nakakatawang-nakakatakot isipin yung nangyari. details can't be revealed but i think you get my point. =) this one is a classic! mala-pang Cosmo Confession ba! =)
attention...bing, lagot ka! =p

KiKaY!i!
it feels so great that you get to pamper yourself again after three years! feels very rewarding!ü from day 1 of my college life until the last day (refer to my past entry), i haven't had a day of just relaxing and treating myself to the spa or anything as such until this month. i revived my routine of getting my "kikay days" on the roll again. hindi naman magpaka-kikay every single day...just to keep my body healthy. just a few minutes ago, i had my facial check-up. ang saraaaap to just lie down on the bed while being massaged and pricked and cleansed. kahit namumula pa mukha ko, i know the result will be splendid in the long run. the foot spa and quick body massages last last week were strong reminders of how great it is to be a girl! hehehe.ü working-out at least 3x a week is on my list too. yan ang talagang nawala sa routine ko sa college. i chose endless drafting and macquette making over working-out. ngayon, kailangan na talagang isama sa routine yan! hmmmm...pampering + working-out = an improved me, mentally and physically.ü

a family in black, a sister in baby blue, a visitor in white and a bachelor in navy blue.
g4 was the place. they all ate in gerry's near park square 2. ok naman, they were all hungry kaya siguro na over-order sila. eheheh.ü they ended up going overboard their budget. pati yung movie...ang panget. wag na lang ilagay ang title! after a nonsense movie..off they went to timezone...mukha namang nabawi yung movie. tawa ng tawa sa basketball thing, raced in daytona and played the virtual pingpong. parang high school gimik noh?hahah. =)
thRoUgh thE fiRe
resisting every single chance, so obvious that its ready to burst but...should be stronger. inside, it has been twirling, swerving to a direction that blindly it wants to take. keeping it distracted most of the time but failing the moments of not the "most of the time" suck! killing every bit of strength left , twisting the rope that holds onto the right bridge. right bridge? how definite that it is the right one? hell!!
so afraid to take advantage..or the chance might be lost? hELp! ='(

a local sex-comedy
the 2003 mmff entries were mostly superhero-themed movies, two were drama, one was comedy and another was sex-comedy, entitled "bridal shower". the trailer intigued me to watch it, three women trapped in world desires projected on angles that not all directors could tackle. unfortunately in our country, sex scenes are only seen as it is-literally. it is used to entice the viewers and exude immorality in hidden meanings. most of the time, these kinds of movie are mababaw and basura. it will always be a challenge to directors to project a deeper sense with still hitting on the physical visuals (of a human being) but still keep sane morals. "bridal shower" was able to pull this off. i was impressed on how the "sex scenes" were not at all sex scenes(as in the "usual" bembangan movies in our country). the leads were very lightly expressed(in a positive sense), yet leave a mark. even the support characters were significantly articulated. i caught a review on tv when i came home after watching the movie, they said that "the director and the actors were very brave on expressing and portraying the whole movie.". i agree. there were scenes that only real people can relate too..bato bato sa langit wag magagalit. the dialogues were frank, bold and sincere. technicals had a few glitches but well, forgiven naman. kung baga, para syang two-hours na sex and the city local version..sensely-speaking.
through the audience's reaction i was part of in the moviehouse, i can say that there is now an existing (different) level in our Filipino audience. if we accepted sex and the city, loved Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte...it is not hard to appreciate Sonia, Tates and Kaytee.
