of whales and breaking up


July 18, 2006
i was watching a video of me and a few of my officemates goofing around, singing and dancing to the tune of "totoy bibo" and i suddenly realized that i looked like an oversized shrunken whale. my belly looks as though it has a life of its own. i can dance, sure, but i dont look good while doing it.

shame..shame...

i think i should go back to dieting, asap. or ill look like a mom in a few weeks time. the horror.

not to mention, i have not been doing anything physical lately, well except maybe scuba but pool work's over, so we're back to sitting in ubberly cold classrooms, trying to absorb as much in lecture to be able to pass the final test.

i need basketball back in my life. im too lazy to wake up early for gym, and too busy to go during the evening.

excuses excuses..

i will take care of my body, i will watch what i eat, i will stoplessen my beer food. (come on, i have to be realistic here.

---

watched The Break up last night. yes, in dibididibidi. i loooovvveeddd it.

mashado akong tinatamaan. and i loved how it ended. sure, it was bitin (fine i wont tell you what exactly happened) but i guess that's exactly how it should end.

what i loved most about it is that the situations portrayed are real. even too real. it had happened to me and im sure to most of you. it has no mushiness no magic no fireworks, and yet it works. because that's how relationships are. sometimes, or even most of the time, one cant get the other..its not always that one can be like an audience to a movie and see both sides, that's where conflict start.

i loved "the" breakup. it was so bittersweet. i hate and love it at the same time.

basta watch it. i recommend it. its funny at the right places and too close to reality at most.

and yes, there is nudity..so guys, that'll be a plus.

another SATC analogy


July 17, 2006
could it be that i am carrie bradshaw?

coz the edwin story very much resembles aidan's. you know, the "you broke my heart" scene, and then they got back together part, then at the end broke up again.

and if so, then can alvin be my "lover" aleksandr petrovsky? the oh so romantic rebel of an artist...hmmmmm...pwede...

but moreover...who could be my Mr. Big?? and where is my standford when i need him-slash-her?

would you believe that this trivial thing was all i could think off this morning? im such a SATC addict

---

calling all block 16...i miss you guys! let's get drunk one time. hehehe! miss you too maan...i hope "the crush" is going well. hehehehe! less boo-boo's i hope.Ü

after a quick call during a very hectic-with-work-and-a-so-sick-me-friday, we traded sms

him: nawala antok ko ah.inom ka ng gamot mo..
me: bakit? kinilig ka no kasi tumawag ako
him: narinig ko lang voice mo parang nabuhayan ako
me: yung voice kong parang lalake? sabi ko na nga ba brokeback ka...

hehehehehe, partida masama pa pakiramdam ko neto.

i want hotdog...we have tj at 11th. yummy...bili lang ako

my first print ad will be out tomorrow...my first baby project..and i hope, many more to come.

by the way, i dont think id be trained anymore, apparently our creative partners are having second thoughts about taking me in. some say they might be threatened, bakit nga naman kailangan ng isang media ang training sa creatives.

some people...

never mind.

sayang lang. well at least im still going to have a mac, desktop or laptop, it doesnt matter. its still a mac.

time for hotdog

grabe oa naman to...aaaaaawwwwww


July 11, 2006
Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover.

He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first
thing he sees is a
couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side
table.

He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him,
all clean and pressed.
Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in a
perfect order,
spotless, clean. So's the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table
"Honey, breakfast is
on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you."

So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a
hot breakfast and the
morning newspaper. His son is also at the table,
eating.

Marty asks, "Son, what happened last night?"

His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk
and delirious Broke
some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave
yourself a black eye when
you stumbled into the door."

Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order
and so clean, and
breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the
bedroom, and when she
tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave
me alone, I'm
married!

confessions of a convert.


July 07, 2006

for some reason, my sister's constant ramblings, elaine and hamza's excitement for this years world cup had me check football out. i remember getting solar sports complete schedule of the games, my heart suprisingly leapt. i made a copy and gave it to my sister.

when we went to bankok,the fever was on. it was elim then (forgive me if i dont know all the terminologies in football, as ive said, im a fresh convert) and people were tuned in to fifa day in, day out, may it be in hotel lobbies or night market bars. the only thing i knew then was that Beckham was uber hot and that Brazil was the team to beat. and yet i catch myself cranning my neck in the looby or the big screens the thai's put up around the metro for a glimpse of the games.

late at night when we're done drinking, i go back to my room and lull myself to sleep with the thundering shouts and gasps of the crowd who were fortunate enough to watch the games live.

it was addicting. more than i thought it would be. i feel like im betraying my first love. but basketball in our country was starting to lose its spark for me. and of course after the heartbreak of my teams not making it to the NBA Finals, and my bet, crumbling under wade and shaq's huge..feet...i had to look for another sport to excite me

lo and behold, i got acquainted with FIFA. i remember trying out for our school's soccer team when i was in grade 6. i kicked the ball directly to some girl's face, and it felt good. (hahahahahaha! demonyo) but then i had to quit coz my mom said the bone fracture i had when i was small might severe by right leg and soccer is the perfect sport to break an already weakened leg bone. so my dreams of playing soccer ended.

but then, today, its slowly returning. im not really an expert on the terms, the rules, the clubs and even most of the players



( i tend to remember only the names of the cute ones hahahahahaha! KAKA I HEART YOU! ) but i feel helpless and sad when i know i wont get to watch a game, especially when its Brazil or England.

Could i really love 2 very different sports at the same time with the same madness? well, at least it's sports, not men. i think that would be more complicated, and believe me i know.

maybe i am really just a sports junky. that it doesnt matter if its basketball, or football, or tennis or chess. everything and anything about sports just gives me a high. i wish i could be good at everything but of course i cant be. and being an expectator still has its up sides, one being that i wont have to endure other people's sweat and sometimes even spit as i play side by side with them hehehehehe!

FIFA Finals on Sunday, 3am. i will be up to watch.

GO ZIDANE!!! (at first i thought it was 'zi-dayn' only to be corrected, 'zi-dun' pala. hehehehe! i told you, i dont know much...but alavet!!)

good vibes


July 05, 2006
this morning, while a supplier was selling me various insurance plans, i remembered one of my dear friend's statement of disbelief one drunken worknight...we've grown up so fast...our priorities has now shifted. now we think of the future more, we make sure we spend our money more wisely. we want more serious relationships and we're starting to feel the pressure of choosing between passion and practicality.

i seriously am considering of getting an insurance for myself. although if im not mistaken, my mom has already taken care of those for the 3 of us, i still want to have something that came from my own pocket.

kakaiba no, natanda na talaga ako.but its all good. they say this is the perfect time to start investing on insurances as the plans tend to be more cheaper at my age. the more i want to get me one. hehe!

during the "talk" i was asked to choose which i prioritize among 6 future financial concerns. without much thought i chose "children education" as my top priority.

i got a questioning look with the words "your children's education? your children ha..."

i said "yes, yun nga"

she then said "kahit wala ka pang anak yun na ang iniisip mo"

and my reply was very casual "of course, kahit di ako magkaanak of my own, i plan to adopt, and their education is very important to me"

all she could say was "i like how you think" now with a broad smile.

rewind, i hear myself saying the same statement, almost not believing that it came from me. but that's the thruth. education should come first. its one of the most expensive investment one can make but its also very much worth it.

i mean how can i even consider "personal need" or "retirement" to come before that. i'd even put it before health. as long as i have my children's future settled, my health, im sure i can handle.

yes i talk like my mom now. i guess that comes with the various responsibilities being passed on to me. its like i transformed without me even realizing it.

haayyy..how time flies. but that's how it must be..i have to keep up...i cant continue missing college or high school and wanting to go back when...no point living in the past, right?

----

Good news of the day:

my ad was approved with NO REVISIONS. imagine my relief. YEY!!! i only need to prepare the CDs for the publications.

i almost did not take this project. i was scared to death that i wont meet other people's expections and end up shaming the good name of our company and the name of mother.. i got scolding from 4 girlfriends for it. in the end, i took it and i dont regret it, including the sleepless nights, backaches, eye sores and yes, the tears, that comes with it.

im going to frame my first ads! hahahaha!

and as an added bonus, they'll buy a MAC unit for me.

WOW

and i have a say at what they're going to buy. of course id say i want the best and the latest hehehehe! if budget permits that is. hehe!

i cant help but feel proud when mother said that i earned it, that i literally worked for the money that's going to be used to buy the MAC. that, coming from someonw like her, is one of the greatest achievement ive had in my entire life. sure its jsut a mac, but i earned it. i worked damn hard for it.

God is good. i almost cried as i thanked my 4 kumares who made me believe that i can do it. i really am grateful they said what they told me that night. really really thankful i have friends who believes so much in me, most of the time more than i believe in myself.

Thanks mare, this one is for all of you.

hhhmmmm

but wait! there's more!

in addition to the MAC unit, i'll be trained for a month in BBDO and another month in TBWA for this.

DOUBLE WOW.

ill be in the same office as my all time hero, David Guerrero. wow. ill be starstruck the whole month, that's for sure.

and dont get me wrong, TBWA is also another agency i look up to when it comes to creative geniuses.

im looking forward to those 60 days. be damn sure ill be on my toes at every little detail that i might get from everyone id meet there. i cant wait.

my career has never looked so bright, my dreams, never been more reachable. and yes, im in love, but moreover, have never felt being loved this much by anyone before..

i have got to be the happiest woman in the planet, and beyond, tonight!

Constantly

i knew it was there though i try to hide it
but the feeling just kept on shining through
havent known you that long so i try to deny it
but the feeling was much too much to strong

could this be love deep down inside
tearing me apart i feel it in my heart

constantly you're on my mind
thinking bout you all the time
i cant sleep no matter what i do
i just keep on thinking bout you

why do i feel this way when i know you have someone
that your seeing each and every day
should i play this game of just being your friend
when i know that's not where i want this to end

how could this be wrong when the feeling's so strong
tearing me apart i feel it in my heart

constantly you're on my mind
thinking bout you all the time
i cant sleep no matter what i do
i just keep on thinking bout you

now i dont want to start no trouble
between you and i and your lover
but i must tell you what im going through
everytime you walk by i see love in your eyes

constantly you're on my mind
thinking bout you all the time
i cant sleep no matter what i do
i just keep on thinking bout you

i own the first part, his, the 2nd.

senti mode eh no, blame it on him..and yes, dahil lahat ng manok ko hindi nanalo. first it was my NBA bets, suns and pistons who both did not make it to the finals, and then dallas, my 3rd choice got crushed by dwayne wade.

Then in Fifa, both Brazil and England did not make it to the semis (can you believe that?) the heartbreak...=c they had a great game against ghana (i had to restrain myself from jumping up and down at each score or even attempt, nagpapamasahe ako nun time na un eh...hehehe), so what happened with france? i wasnt able to watch that game, i was out, i only watched the highlights on their site. haaaayyyy...the heartbreak...

and san miguel lost to red bull, the only team in the PBA that i loathe beat my all time fave team...damn you enrico!

this is not a good year for my teams, really...

pacqiao won, not that i care. this match became too..overrated.

owell...

there's always next year, and 2010 for Brazil...haaaaayyyy

at least my hubby, nadal won clay...still have grass to look forward to. i think i should stick to individual sports this year, you know, to lessen the heartbreak. haaaaayyy... who knew sports can be this stressful hehehe!

tingles and everything...


find someone who would...

wait for 8 hours to watch you fall asleep...

not stop being there for you, no matter how many times you reject him...

ask his mom to prepare leche flan so you would have something sweet for your cravings..

who cant sing, cant do massages, and probably can't play basketball too well, but will do and learn all that coz he knows you love it.

would voluntarily stop smoking when you know what a chain smoker he was before he met you.

be with you when you're working late, even if it means that he has to walk all the way back home...(at 1am)


and when you do...

...then tell me if you can stop yourself from falling...



****


Life is too short to be anything but happy...

So true...


****

Why me?

Coz you're different, you're perfect for me.


(yes galing sa movie...but still, tingles and everything Ü)
