Lazy Friday :)

Yesterday I tried to register at the COMELEC office. But fifteen minutes after I arrived, they told us to come back today because there's power shortage and they don't want to risk losing their data if they turn on their computers in the midst of the fluctuating power. Unfortunately according to the news, the power shortage won't be addressed until next week. Thus,  decided not to go to comelec today. hehe

I tried to finish my deliverable but two pages later, I got so bored typing the benefits from Philhealth so I didn't finish it. Will try it again tomorrow. I am actually 6 pages short from finishing but oh well. haha

I also tried to cook carbonara this afternoon. I studied the recipe I got online and immediately started working at the kitchen. Grabe, fail! I ended up having what seemed to be pasta with scrambled eggs. Major boohoo! Oh well, I've never been successful in white pasta sauces. Red sauces are easier to make. 

Anyhooo, because I plan to stay home this weekend, I had Red Ribbon White Forest cake delivered here at home. Yummy! I also had my favorite chicken empanadas delivered. This is gonna be a yummy weekend. ayieee! 

Our wifi isn't back yet. I have no idea how to fix it again so I'm here stuck by the bar where the LAN cable is. Kawawa naman my auntie next door (eeek! I know, conyo. haha). She can't share my internet. hehe

And oh, I feel bad for not being able to update my other blog. It's mainly because I haven't really gone for adventures recently. And, I find it such a hassle to manage two blogs. So I dunno. I'm still keeping it but probably erase it in time. I really don't know yet.

And lastly, I saw Glee's 6th episode last night. Grabe, I sooo love Glee. I got really pissed at first because the torrent I downloaded had an error so it wouldn't play. Fortunately, I found a website that had a video stream of Glee. Click here to enjoy the episodes. Btw, I really like Kurt and I still love Mr.Schuster. yaaaaaaaay! hahaha

The fabulous and oh-so-sosh Kurt

Mr. Schuster 

Happy weekend guys!

Missing class

I miss my classes. Especially 172, 177 and 178. This morning Sir Ray sent his alumni an invitation to the final presentation of his class this sem. I'd love to come but I wanna see who's coming first. I also miss drinking Chuckie in class. Or going on long banyo breaks when the class is getting boring. 

Sir Acedera has a new business in Cagayan de Oro. It's a bread business pretty much like Gardenia. He sent 200 loaves to the Ateneo Relief Center for the victims of Ondoy here in Manila. Very kind of him.

I sent Sir Nes an email today. It was just a follow up on our last conversation months back. Yeah, we're email buddies. hahahaha I'm really glad he's happy. 

I'm missing my teachers mainly because of Glee. Mister Schuester is so hot, I super love him! He reminds me of an older Justin Timberlake. And OMG I super died when he sang Alone in epsisode 5. YAY! Love GLEE!

Heart rants

It still surprises me when I realize how we can always exceed ourselves. When someone breaks our hearts, we think it's the end of the world. But somehow, once we've decided to pick up the pieces, we, one day, find our hearts beating again. Beating faster than it used to the last time we were in love. Being more sure this time, being happier that we can ever be.

Last night I was wondering how we can fall in love with a fictional character and want him for ourselves. I remember wanting Edward Cullen for myself. But just like me, everyone wanted him for themselves as well.

When people tell you 'stop looking for love, love will find you', do you actually believe it? Like what if it's all you've ever dreamt of and wanted? Cliche, I know. But if this is your kind of dream, it's not any different from dreaming of becoming a superstar, a hero, or a billionaire. In fact yours is the simplest of all dreams- all you wanna do is to fall in love. You can't just turn your back at your dream and wait for it to come to you. You need to constantly find reasons to work your way to that dream. I dunno what your dreams are, but mine is that we all find the love we all deserve. But I can only dream for all of us. It's up to each of you find it.

Keep loving!

P.S.: This post was made possible by the following factors: Glee episodes on following your dreams (episode 1 most especially), listening to So Close over and over again, watching wedding videos, and my friend Mau who ended up doing a sketch of her ultimate crush.

Eyes 'covered' for a little privacy. haha

Here's So Close by John MacLaughlin from the movie Enchanted.

Rawr!

My 'evil' tito is home and I'm going crazy! For people who know him, haha I'm sure you understand why I'm going crazy. GRABE just his presence makes me stressed! GRABE TALAGA! And nafifeel ko, madadalas siyang uuwi dito. homayghad!

Anyhoo, that didn't stop me from having 'me time' today. I went to Trinoma to treat myself after receiving my sweldo. hehe Had lunch at Conti's and I have to say Migs (as in Tirona hehe) was right. Conti's has the best beef salpicao in town! At least among those I've tried. haha For those who are confused, no, Migs and I aren't talking HAHA He just mentioned Conti's salpicao years back. Well worth my 300 bucks. (shet.)

I also bought something for mom and Joop. I'm so proud of my brother! He headed their Robotics class in their exhibit at Robinson's Iloilo. They were also interviewed for that exhibit in a local lifestyle show in ABS-CBN Iloilo. Too bad I won't be able to watch it but still. haha 

I got myself pretty earrings and canvass sandals. Nothing too expensive because Christmas is coming. hehe 

Oh, last night I spent like 4 hours catching up on with Dianne on the phone. Grabe I super missed her! Tawa lang kami ng tawa, tapos share ng chismis, tapos talk about what's new with our lives. Haaay grabe. Just like the good old days. Before we used to call each other even if we're together ealier that day and we'll be seeing each other the next morning. Kaloka diba?

Lastly, mom told me dad was gonna get her a Benji Reyes chair. Grabe, I loooove Benji Reyes. I've always wanted to own his pieces, next to a Kenneth Cobonpue piece of course. I'm so happy dad was gonna get for mom. I'll label it as part of my inheritance HAHAHA JOOOKE! I hope dad decides to get a Cobonpue next.

Hay fun and crazy day. Tomorrow I have a date with John Lloyd! Imma watch In My Life. weeeee!

Of things irreplaceable and those which are not.

Today I finally heard from Farrah. I've been waiting for news for the whole week about how she is because I heard Greenpark was super affected. I got an email from her today (because yeah Smart Bro is such a bummer and I just got my internet back after 7 days. Tapos wala pang wifi. tsk.) Lo and behold, super affected nga sila.

To quote her tweet to me... "I am alive but we lost almost everything." While reading about her experience on her blog, grabe, I was crying. I cried like a baby and then I prayed. I was endlessly thanking God for keeping her family safe. I was crying thinking what would I do if I lost her? It was a crazy feeling. 

I texted her right after completely reading her entry and she immediately called me up. Grabe I cried again when I heard her voice. I cried...and then we joked and then she updated me with how things are, then we joked a little more. Funny how we find humor in these trying times. I had to stop crying moments after we started talking because she wasn't crying at all! She's really being strong for her family. 

Now I have learned more lessons from this experience we all went through. I need not experience it first hand. Just hearing stories of friends and watching the news are enough to make me realize three things.

One, we really really have to take care of the Earth. THIS NEEDS SERIOUS ACTION. 

Two, everything is temporary so we shouldn't be too materialistic. 

Three, wag mashadong maarte. Mas maraming naghihirap at nahihirapan kesa sa atin.

Oh, on a side note, Dad cancelled our Palawan work trip this October. Money will instead be donated to the victims of Ondoy. At least it was cancelled for a really good reason. yay!
