Haloween blues

I'm a bit disappointed this Halloween. The hype that I always had when this day came wasn't present this year. Halloween was supposed to be FUN; it was supposed to be my favorite day of the year. But maybe not this year it ain't. I think it's safe to say that maybe I'm growing up. It's only fair to conclude it because,well, first off, I'm already 20 and secondly, I don't think that the PowerPuff Girls are every girl's superheroes anymore. Enough of the depression attack, on to more happier things!

So, last night I met up with Glenda (aka MY BESTEST BESTFRIEND IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE) to attend this so-called reunion of some batchmates from highschool. I really thought that we were going to end up with only 5 people that night, thankfully, people started arriving; arriving and hour and half later that is.

We ended up having dinner at Camalig which was great because it's been ages since I last set foot there. I was also coincidentally craving for one of their pizzas which are by the way one of the most delish pizza's in town. I always enjoy devouring pizzas and my usual favorite from their menu is the Doy's Kapampangan which has pickle relish, longganisa and salted eggs as it's topping. Sound gross right? But it's actually tasty you'll be surprised. I didn't order the usual but instead, Glenda and I got a medium Mexican Medley pizza which had tomatoes as one of their main toppings. We loove tomatoes.




After staying at Camalig, the guys wanted some booze so we all went to Zach (because I think beer is cheaper there. Gotta love them 3+1 promos). I wasn't really going to drink that night because I was actually already too full to drink and well, almost out of moolah at that, but what the heck I had one bottle. Glenda had one bottle too and it was quite amusing to see her drink because I've never seen her drink let alone hold a beer bottle. G was never the party girl, but I think college changed that LOL 'Twas a fun filled night with new and old people all together. Hopefully this'll happen again in the future.

Cheers to us Familians!




IRONIC FACT:
I love tomatoes but I hate tomato KETCHUP!

Tigtigan Terakan King Dalan

All I can say is it was the most fun TTKD I've ever attended :D


I went out with three great people

Drank good beer

Ate at one of the best pizza places in town

Saw some familiar faces
Cheered on my friend's band

Got starstruck by the DAWN..
and so did a hundred other fans

and! were able to grab some coffee at the end of the night.. err morning that is
It was one of the best night outs I've had in a long long time.

I enjoyed every second and I will never forget it. ♥

chicken soup for the soul

Let me share you a little heartfelf story..


(while I was at my lola's store, a kid about 6 years old was about to buy)

kid: ate, pabili po ng isang pirasong Chocolitos?
(Chocolitos are similar to crinkles only smaller and cheaper)

(I let him pick one from the container)

As I was putting away the P1 coin I heard him say to his 3 year old little brother

kid: Oh, hati tayo.
little brother: salamat kuya. pwede hati pa tayo sa tira?
kid: sige, kaw talaga antakaw mo.
(hugs his little brother and off they went riding a bicycle)

It may not seem like something to you, but it meant something to me.

It really takes small instances like the story above to realize how fortunate, thankful and grateful we are to be living a more luxurious life than they do. It's funny how we complain about not having good food when other people and children only eat once a day; funny how we tend to be selfish when other people like the kid at the store would selflessly give half of what he bought to his little brother.

Sometimes it's nice to reflect once in a while.
It makes us realize a lot of things and actually make us a better person at that.

sleepless hollow

Does anyone know the cure for chronic insomnia?? and is there such a thing??


I NEED TO CURE THIS DISEASE!

Black Kiss

Last night, Arence I were just bumming around the living room like we usually do (him scanning through tv stations and me surfing the net) then suddenly, he switched the channel to WOWOW. And I'm soo glad he did.

There was this Japanese horror movie about to show when we decided to check it out even knowing that there wouldn't be any English subtitles. We were already supposed to watch "The Frighteners" on HBO but this one looked more interesting. I mean, how would it not be when the opening part of the movie was a woman slicing a man's chest down with only a scalpel?! I was like "What the f**k IS this??!" I never liked watching horror/scary movies but sometimes, I get strangely drawn to them. This one I was really drawn to.

The seemigly quiet but horrifying movie left me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I was also always trying to grab Arence's hand just so I could have something to squeeze or release tension to everytime I got scared. The movie was great in terms of the story (yes, even though we didn't really understand everything because it was in Japanese). I wasn't in favor with the gory-ness of the flick but I found it fascinating at the same time very gross. The villain was extremely creepy too which made me sleep with the lights on last night. The only thing that we still could not figure out was who the murderer really is. The ending was a bit confusing too; well actually it was all confusing just because we were lost in translation. But at any rate, I was glad I got to watch it. One of the creepiest movies I've seen so far. I encourage you to see it if you can find a DVD copy. I think we'll be doing the same when we get the chance to visit Quiapo sometime. ^_^

If you want to read the review on the movie, click this.


Even though I hate watching horror flicks,
I still watch them sometimes.

musicals are fun

nanana, nanana (yeah), nanana.. You've got the music in me.

Man, that song's really getting to me.

Blame if on the Disney Channel. I just watched High School Musical 2 with the whole fam during dinner and I hate to admit it, it was pretty neat. Now I get why people love this movie. I never saw the first one, but I'm pretty sure it's as good as this.

I was baking again this afternoon. Unfortunately, the Chocolate Oatmeal batch didn't turn out the way I expected it to. I hate it when that happens. I think I might be jinxing my cookies.

Anyhoo, I was really happy when Arence came to the house this afternoon. I didn't expect him to come over but he did. It's always nice when he surprises me like this. I get soo kilig sometimes. We did a little 1-on-1 jamming session playing songs like "Takeover The Breaks Over" by Fall Out Boy and "It Ends Tonight" by All American Rejects. He was on the guitar and I on the keyboard. (I feel really rusty touching that darn instrument by the way. It's been ages since I played the keyboard. The only complete piece I can really do is "A Thousand Miles" which I made kapa pa way back in high-school. I can still remember how people were so amazed when they knew I could play the song. It was so silly.)


I like how we can play music together.

almost there

6 days to go before I get to taste you once more.

I can't wait.

I just hope that you won't taste roachy this time around!


I don't like the taste of beer; but I drink it anyway

My bestfriend
(sorry couldn't decide)

my version of # 7. Love


I'm running out of photos to post! haha

i'm glad i wasn't there

I'm beginning to feel scared again about what's happening in our country...

Just yesterday, people witnessed another mall explosion in the country. Glorietta 2 suffered severe building damages and not to mention the people who were in it too. The reports said that 9 were DEAD. Either 8 or 9 if im not mistaken. And close to a hundred injured victims. It was tragic. As Arence and I watched the live broadcast late last night, I couldn't help but feel so sad and at the same time so frightened at the situation.

Earlier reports said that the explosion was cause by LPG tanks, but later on, they found pieces of C4 bombing devices. It made sense. If it it were LPG tanks, there should've been fire. But there wasn't any.

I had a very bad dream last night. I dreamt that me and my family were responsible for blowing up an SM mall somwhere. It was like I was in a scene in Next wherein I had this premonition about the bombing and I saw how it happened. In my dream, my parents were the ones who placed the bomb inside the mall. Then right after what seemed like a minute after the placement, the mall exploded. When I dream, I often only remember some parts of it when I wake up. But this one, I remebered everything . I could still remember how the SM sign blew up and went flying across the sky hitting a pick-up truck near a gasoline station. I can still remember the people panicking and trying to get out of the mall and how the others who were trying to get in their vehicles with great speed just to get away from the area. It was so chaotic and frightful. I was so relieved when I finally woke up, knowing that I was back in reality.

As I was watching the news, I couldn't help but feel so grateful; grateful that I wasn't in that mall at that time; grateful that I am still alive. I feel sorry for those families who've lost someone during the incident. I wouldn't know what they must be going through right now, but I know what it's like to lose someone dear to you. I'm lucky I didn't lose anyone in that incident.

I really hope that the national police and government find out who's behind this bomb attack fast.

I like eating mixed nuts

describe me

Everytime I try to describe myself, either verbally or in written form, I really don't know what to say or where to start. It has always been a problem of mine to talk about myself. Maybe because I'm a bit shy in this department and I tend to like it more if people would just discover WHO I am in the long run than stating every little detail about myself all at once.

I just tried "describing" myself by attempting to write a short bio of my likes, dislikes and other trivialities about me, but unfortunately, I gave up due to exhaustion. When making a list of anything, whether it's a list of songs to burn or a checklist of things to buy, my brain tends to always leave me blank and I end up staring at the wall for an hour thinking of whatever I was supposed to be listing. I'm such a freak to not even make a simple compilation of who I am. But who says that I was simple in the first place? I'm a walking complication of so many sorts it'll be very hard for me to describe who I am that easily.

So, instead of making one long list describing myself, everytime I post an entry, I will end it with a trivia or with something about me. In that sense, everyday or should I say every post, you'll discover something new (or old) about me (either wonderful or not). Then maybe, when all the days and posts pile up, I might just compile everything I ever said about me into one. Doesn't that sound neat?

Now to end this frustrating little post, here's something about me:

I get frustrated when I make lists

4am & still kicking

Either my insomnia's getting worse or I just like pushing myself til the wee hours of the morning. It's 4am and I'm still awake and still not even close to being sleepy. Whatever the reason maybe, I really have got to get me some decent rest or I'll end up looking like the Crypt keeper. LOL

I just spent the last 12hrs with my OAOP today. Gosh was that 12 hrs? Anyhoo, I'm glad that we got to hangout again. I simply love our hangouts. Somehow, our hangouts get better and better everytime and I just love 'em.

Another wonderful day this was.

In other news, I just created a Flickr account because my good friend, Lala, suggested it. I've always considered making one before but never really got to. Now I did and if you're wondering what my username is, its: trixieshutters. Not the most glamorous name but it works for me. Anyhoo, I really think I have to get some rest already. Hope I just fall right of to sleep once I lie in bed. :3

This morning was rough. i kept waking up because I either wanted to pee or that I was really uncomfortable with my sleeping position. Got my period yesterday, so there. I'm just glad I'm not experiencing the cramps I usually get on my first day.

Anyway, I was so ecstatic to read all the comments that people gave about my photos. I love receiving comments. Especially good ones. They can simply brighten up my day in an instant. I'm home alone right now and I don't know what else to do. Oh wait, I think I'll watch Death Note na! Sayoonara! :3

finally.

I can't believe that today is finally over.

This was the last day I had my last final exam of my fourth year life and after passing that last piec of stressor, I began to feel slightly melancholic. Somehow, even if I so despise this college that I have been in for the past 4 years, I am slowly beginning to miss it already. How mushy can I get right?

On other happier side of things, I got to spend my last day with my classmates (unfortunately, not with all of them). After submitting our last project, we all decided to have lunch together. We may be going our separate ways for now, but I am sure that one day we will all meet again and have fun memories once more. I'll just have to deal with the fact that I won't be seeing them for a while after the sembreak ends. Oh well. Life must go on.

P1000 richer! and 32months of lurving

Ok. So I lost P500 yesterday. But lucky lucky me, after how many hours, I was P1000 richer! (sinister laugh)

Wanna know what happend?

1 word: PAPA (aaawwe)

It's like one of those moments wherein you find yourself so down then something comes along and then the next minute your up again. It was like my dad heared my internal plea to have money once more. Now I can't wait to spend all of it again! Nahh! As if I would make the same mistake in less than 2 days. Next time nalang ako mgssplurge ulit when I'm really rich. :3


I am happy to say that Arence and I are on our 32nd month already. Whoop-di-doo! Even if we haven't officially gotten back together, we both are content with what we have right now and are both surprisingly getting better at this relationship.
Here's to us, and may this roller coaster ride of fun, laughter and misadventure never end.

500 down the drain

Yesterday, I had like P700 inside my cute apple-y purse.

Now? I think I only have P70 left. Less the internet time cost I'm consuming at the moment, so all I'll be left of after this seating is maybe P50. How did this happen?

2 words: IMPULSIVE BUYING!

I spent all my money on halloween jewelry, cute picture frames and kitchenware this morning. What was I supposed to do?? They were cheap and I had the cash.; it's the biggest shopping temptation! I really couldn't resist not buying expecially the Halloween jewelry. It was like me as a kid in a candy store; I had to get eveyrthing, every flavor. And getting every flavor is what I did. Money is like butter on a hot pan; MELTS away fast. It's a bit ironic that you save for how many days then in one blink of the eye, what you've saved for months vanishes right before your eyes. But I've no regrets. I seldom get to shop for myself and when the opportunity arises, I grab it. The only downside of it all is I'm always less richer than I originally was. The IRONY.
