disillusionment and disappointment

tonight, i was in the mood for a little soft porn...

i went online so i can watch some of my fave indie films like sagwan, heavenly touch and ang lihim ni antonio...

then i found out... that it's sooooo hard to find a decent copy of the films i wanted to watch...

why is it soooo hard to find these movies???

somebody answer me.

photo ops

as promised, here are the pics of recent events in my life... sorry it took me so long to post these pics... i was busy....


i subscribed to the belief that "by doing nothing, you will achieve something".

so i'm waiting to achieve something... that's why i'm doing nothing...

methinks this is a great belief... anyway, enough talk, let's see some pictures!!!

alright... first up, the "idol" that me and my friends have devoted our time and attention to the last 2 years, called "la penitente : si Hesus at ang babaeng makasalanan" (in english, "Jesus and the penitent woman)






nice, right? did anybody notice the hair? it's beautiful, noh? =D

next up is our pictures from our yearly stations of the cross in mt. calvary @ 6 AM, good friday.






and lastly, i was able to upload one picture from our matabungkay, batangas soiree...




methinks i made a mistake and zoomed in on this picture which made it look like this. i apologize.

i will do everything in my power to make this right... as soon as i find out what exactly went wrong.

i know, i know, i also wanted to post most of the pictures i got but i have to protect my friends' privacy. so i'm still sorting through the throng of pictures. we have a thousand pictures on the beach outing alone. and that took, what, 1 day. can you imagine how many pictures we had?

i will be posting other pictures as soon as i can... promise.

>hi shiela!!!<

now that i have a moment to breathe...

wow... how's everybody doing?

i have just been very busy since the last time i've checked in.

there was the whole holy week fiasco and the summer outing (our first barkada beach outing, yay!) na finally natuloy na rin sa wakas... after 5 years of attempting.

here's a bullet list of what i did:

holy monday.
pabasa sa mga ninang ko (who lives just next door).

***FYI, for those who don't know what a "pabasa" is, here's a short description.

PABASA (pah-ba-sa) loosely translated in english is "public reading". there is a book called PASYON (passion) written in lyric poetry style. so older people (and some young ones who know the tune) read/sing the whole book. this usually takes the whole day, maximum 20 hours, non - stop. the hosts/hostesses are expected to provide food, coffee, cigarette and everything else that the people need. there are santos (catholic idols depicting saints and sometimes scenes from the bible) presented in the make-shift altar that the "mambabasa" (readers) read to.

i wasn't as involved in this pabasa as i used to because of the whole bickering thing i had with my ninang (godmother). but i did donate some of my time to it.

holy tuesday.
pahinga. siesta. day of relaxation.

holy wednesday.
i was supposed to help my friends lavinia and ermingard in preparing the santo (la penitente: si jesus at ang babaeng makasalanan, in english, jesus and the sinful woman).

***FYI. the "babaeng makasalanan" or the sinful woman (i think it's supposed to be the pious woman, but, anyway...) was not named in the bible. i first thought it was mary magdalene, it turns out i was wrong.

i woke up late that day so i just joined the procession that night and stayed up all night. first we went to bettina's house after more than a year because she just got home here in the philippines from the kingdom of saudi arabia where she works as a nurse. then we (me, ermingard, lavinia and ermingard's "friend") went back to the park, where all the idols were situated and were being prepared for the pabasang bayan the next day.

maundy thursday.
went to pabasang bayan at the public park and then to bettina's.

good friday.
6 AM we went hiking for our annual stations of the cross in mt. calvary here in our hometown. also dubbed as "to strengthen the friendship" MIA: ermingard and lota.

6 PM. procession. then went to helena's for a quick bite then to gertrude's to watch the rest of the procession including the "gewang-gewang".

then after a week of preparation, april 10 and 11, we went to matabungkay beach resort in batangas. only lota wasn't able to come. she had other appointments that apparently, she can't reschedule. no hard feelings.

we went swimming, drinking, boating, snorkeling and generally just having fun.


and here i am today.

pics about these things to be posted next.

hold tight.

back from the grave

so

it has been a while... a long while!

i have been unemployed with no internet access (or even cable) at home for the past 3 months. and that's the main reason why i haven't been blogging for a while now.

anyway, i'm running again (not that i stopped running), i mean, i'm just running harder now... harder and faster.

on the plus side, with all the running i've been doing, i've lost some weight and my legs (and my ass) look fabulous --- even in dense fog.

tomorrow, i plan to conquer ortigas center once again in search of a good paying job that will fit my schedule... hahaha

wish me luck

i'll be in touch... somehow

please bear in mind that i wrote this about a year or a year and a half ago... hahahaha

got a good laugh out of it but some of it still stings after all these time... sad...

*******************
things i can never say to the people in parenthesis... =) alright, it's not their real names, but if they get to read this, they'll know who they are... >_<

(sheila, kim, nicole aka mariah, tony rose, nad... hehehe)
i miss you guys sooo much! since we all became part of the philippines' work force, we rarely have the time to talk the way we used to. i just miss everything about us guys... hope we can have some bonding time together soon...

(mrs. petrucci)
i don't want to pay the electric bill. it is not mine to shoulder alone. but i will do it anyway. and please, please, please try to teach your kids a little more discipline... you need to be more strict. set the rules and make sure that they are obeyed. be the master of the house. 'cuz if you won't, i will.

(magnas-next-door)
fuck you! you're all gonna die a horrible death! you're gonna pay for everything you've ever stolen from us! you lying, cheating sons of bitches! and one day, you will all be kneeling before me asking for forgiveness you morons!!!

(my fairy godmother)
i'm sorry for being so proud. but this is the way it has to be. i have to stand on my own. you did a very good job. you raised me well, excellent. and i thank you for that. now that i'm trying to stand on my own, i hope you can just try to understand me.

(bestfriend)
i loved you with all my heart and my soul, with everything that i am. (i hope you know that) i understand what happened, at least i try to. but i just wanted you to know that. i miss you so much. of all the people i know, you're the one i really miss. i wish we could go back to our past because i don't like where we are right now. i hate that we can't even talk to each other, we just pass each other on the street and all we do is give each other a simpled nod. i guess i should consider that a good thing. on the brighter side, we might be at a place where nothing is supposed to be said, a simple nod says it all... i wish it's like that. but im not stupid. and i know you're not stupid as well. we both know things have changed. we have grown, but we have grown apart. this might be for the best... but let's just hope for something better... i maybe the only one thinking and feeling this way, but i sure do hope that you're thinking of this too. i miss you.

(noshka)
you don't deserve chito. you deserve soooo much more. wake up. realize your potentials. you're a great girl and i just hope you realize that soon. stop thinking that chito is the answer to all your problems. the truth is, chito is the source of all your problems. so think sistah! you're smart, use your head!

(impertinent)
i miss you and i'm happy for you. you're a good boy, intelligent, kind, and good-natured. i'm sorry for everything i did to you. i know you enjoyed it (because you said so) but i'm sorry anyway. good luck on your career and thanks for everything. friends for keeps. oh and by the way, i miss the times when i still call you... you know... i won't say it here because it will be too obvious for others who you are... =)

(patrick starr)
i was hurt. you know i did not ask too much from you. but is goodbye really that hard to say? i accepted that i was only number 2. did you really have to leave like that? i would have handled it like the mature, educated person that i am. you acted really immature. i used to love you. and i want to know if everything you gave me is true or if it is fake. i don't hate you, i hate what you did to me. all the lying and pretending just wasn't worth everything i went through for you. and you know exactly what i went through for you so don't act all dumb. i want to see you just to know how you're doing. if i do see you, i hope you see me too. i hope you can see how good i've been since you left. oh, remember "teddy"? well... teddy "accidentally got lost". but i am looking for him... when i'm free, that is.. *evil laugh* just kiddin'... i locked him away. far, far, far away. only prince charming can rescue him now.... hehehe

(mrs. baretto)
i miss you... you know you're one of the people that i can talk to about anything and everything under the sun... and i enjoy our conversations. do you remember how we were back in high school? oh god, i miss those nights... i miss your letters, your cake, your baked macaroni... i just miss you... and will you transfer to ortigas already?!

(chel)
i just wish everything were as what i thought they were... it would have made things a lot less complicated. because back then, we only had one problem... you know what it is. but as of today, our problems are just way too out of our hands... am i'm really sorry things had to end that way. i really did love you, you know...

well... i can't think of anybody else so i guess this is it as of right now... i'll add more to this... i promise

pictures!!!



can't think of anything to write... so i'll just post pics...

enjoi... got these pics from lola's baul... my apologies for the old pics... =p

this first one is of me and my cousin, shiela, taken when we went to an island here in rizal (this should be clue enough as there is only 1 island here that i know of). we were playing ANTM (america's next top model) by the pier under the moonlight and shining stars. pic was taken by my other cousin, kim.



the other pic is of my 2 eldest cats (i have 9 cats now), sparksky, the orange cat, is about 4 years old now and stitch, sparksky's 1st daughter, is about 3 years old now. stitch's color is very peculiar to me. it looks dark but when you look closely, it will look like orange... hahaha let's just settle for it's dark near the roots and orange near the tips.


this one is sparksky when she was a lot younger when i first got her... rather, when she first conned me into giving her food and shelter and therefore eliminating every single need for scouring the neighborhood food because i was hypnotized into doing it for her... =p i love my cats...



this is me way back in 2007... when i first got my tattoo... this was taken no more than 1 week after i got my tattoo... swimming was a fave past time of me and my cousins... back then. =p



this is one of my favorite pics of all time. this was taken in puerto galera when i was there with "team achievers" last feb 2008. we had one hell of a time in what i can only discuss as one of the best summer outings in my life so far. there is an edited version of this and i think tina will hate me for posting the original... better show the truth than be labeled "adobe-d"... =p

i guess this is all for now... i can't seem to access my other pics in multiply... multiply is having some "technical issues" right now. but don't worry, i will try to upload more pics here as soon as i can...

enjoi... =p

>i'll be back<
