lalala life is wonderful

// February 27th, 2009 // Comments Off // Celebrities, Life, Music

Hurray. I’m posting here more now! I just renewed my domain a couple of days back, so now everything’s alright. Haha.

What have I been up to lately? Hmm let’s see. I wrote a couple of songs. There’s so many crazy, horrible things that’ve happened and those provoked me to write again. But hmm, I HAVE to work on those. I just need to save a bit more so I could buy a Macbook and create my songs.

What else, what else. Life has been good in general. I bought a ticket to “Eraserheads Live! The Final Set” so yeah I’m really happy about that.

And… I was watching American Idol last night. Here are my two bets:

Adam Lambert

Danny Gokey

‘Cause, you know. DAMN. I don’t even care much for group three. These two are sorta reminding me of David Cook and David Archuleta from last year. You know, one rocker who knows what he’s doing, and one “small town”-ish guy who just has raw talent. I’m betting these two meet at the finals.

Of course, I still love guys like Anoop Desai (aka Anoop Dogg), Megan Corkrey, and Jackie Tohn. I hope to see them get saved at the wild card round. They’re really good.

10 Things I Am Thankful For
(I got tagged by Queennie)

People often complain of what is not present. We often dwell on things we don’t have. Well, for a change I hope we can (even for a while) think of the great things we have. Hope you would share your thoughts too guys…

1. I am thankful for each day I’m alive. Especially back when I got REALLY sick on New Year’s Day this year… Back then, I really thought I might die. So yeah, I’m thankful I’m still alive.

2. I am thankful for being blessed with a beautiful family. They’re beautiful inside and out. They’re amazing and I love them so much.

3. I am also thankful for my true friends. They’ve been with me through thick and thin–through my bad days and not just my good ones. They support me, they understand me, and they make me happy. I hope I do the same for them

4. I am thankful for my two best friends, especially my first real best friend. Not that the second is less appreciated or anything… ;p I used to say I don’t like the term best friend but there really is one or two people you can’t help but be honest with and share everything with.

5. I am thankful for my health! I may be skinny-looking but I tell ya, I’m healthy! Thanks to being brought up by my family as a healthy eater. I love veggies, I love fruits, juices, cheeses, and meats/fowls that aren’t greasy. But I do love eating a couple of sweets here and then. But hey, it’s all in moderation

6. I am thankful for Herbalife! Seriously. It saved my family, both financially and health-wise. Thanks to their products, we are living healthier, no stress, we’re much happier, not much tension anymore, no more worries, and we know that Herbalife can not only give us health but also wealth!

7. I am thankful for my imperfections. I believe those make me who I am. “Unique just like everyone else” is quite paradoxical–nobody is ever the same. I learned never to be jealous, because I know that God made me this way and has given me the blessings I deserve and experiences I need to learn.

8. I am thankful for my job. It’s a good one, the pay is alright, and the workload isn’t always that bad. I’m quite enjoying myself and I’m getting the hang of it. The people aren’t so bad either… I’m quiet around them because, well, I’m still trying to get used to them (even if I’ve been here for about 8 months now).

9. I’m thankful for my God-given talents. I don’t have to enumerate what they are, but I’m thankful I can do those things that other people would kill to just be able to do for a day. I may sometimes feel the same way about others’ talents, but that’s what makes all of us special anyway

10. I am thankful for finishing my education. Not everybody gets this privilege, especially because education costs a lot of money. I’m glad I did well and graduated on time despite the fact that I didn’t really try so hard. I know I could’ve done better during the latter part (esp. in high school and some parts of college), but I did enjoy (most of) my years as a student. I earned friends and experiences along the way as well!

So what are YOU thankful for?

kids these days…

I was at work and my officemate told me about this strange little story. Take a good look at this photo and think really hard what the relationships between these three are:

Alfie, Chantelle & baby Maisie - photo by Lee Thompson

If you guessed a brother & sister celebrating the birth of a new sibling, you’re WRONG.

If you guessed “proud parents & their newborn child” …Well, you’re not just CORRECT. You’re bordering on bizarre. First time I saw this photo I really couldn’t believe my eyes. Alfie, the 13-year-old father (who looks 10, by the way), is only about 4 feet tall. He wouldn’t pass for a dad. But… well… he is.

Read more about it here.

Kids these days…

// October 11th, 2008 // Comments Off // Life, Site Updates

Hey look who’s back! HAHAHA. I’m back, bitches! lol

I updated the site. I’m slowly importing all my blog/journal posts from my Multiply site, where I’ve been ranting off for the past few months, as well as older posts which I (being the crazy person I am) removed before. Talk about insane, huh.

ANYWAY! So yeah. There’s a new layout. Spiffy, huh? I’m vain, so what. It’s my site anyway. Teehee.

So I’ve been employed for about nearly 4 months now. Cool, huh? Since I last posted here (January 25), so much has happened! I passed my thesis, graduated, spent probably my best summer ever, lost another best friend because he moved, and got a job. I also completed the basketball season of my two teams (UST Tigers and FEU Tamaraws) and had the time of my life doing so. I also ceased to write songs temporarily. Boohoo. Let’s just say I’m lacking in writing inspiration. Well I do have lotsa thoughts, just gotta put them onto paper. After all, I got my heart broken or something. LOL!!! But I’m back! I’ll try to fix my life as days go.

Here’s a minor list of priorities I have before the year ends:

• get this site back up (almost there!)
• go to a concert (there’s a Rihanna/Chris Brown one coming up, I might go to that one)
• write songs again
• record a demo (found someone, just gotta write music!)
• buy an electric guitar
• get xmas presents for everyone
• fall in love (isn’t really a priority. more of a goal! haha)
• get a sideline for extra money
• clean my fricken room… it’s gross! haha

So that’s about it. I’ll be posting here every now and then, but first I gotta fix the site. There’s like, no pictures or whatever!!! Haha. Until then, ciao!

he’s in doggie heaven now :(

// September 24th, 2008 // 26 Comments » // Life, Pets

This picture was taken during my 21st birthday. He was in a cage because hmm, I have visitors. Haha.

My poor baby He died today… About 4 years ago, this puppy was given to me by my best friend. Batiwtiw, or Tiwtiw as we call him, is indeed a very important dog to me. I cried today when I found out…

I went arrived from work around 6 in the morning, and found him lying in his cage, barely moving. I knew he was still alive, but I somehow knew he was going to die… So yeah… When I woke up in the afternoon, my mom told me that Batiwtiw is gone I couldn’t cry. I don’t know the reason for sure why he died, nobody knows. All we could do is theorize the possibilities. Maybe he ate something wrong, or maybe it’s that stubborn wound which might’ve gotten infected. Or maybe it’s just his time I’ll miss this little fella… Though “little” is an understatement… This hybrid of a pitbull and a golden retriever + rottweiler is anything but little!

He’s now burried in one of the vacant lots down our street… He’s too big to fit in the earthy areas w/in our own lot. At least he’s still near, though.

I’m sad, just a few days ago my brother’s dog Queenie died. Now Batiwtiw is gone as well… I even cried while on the way to work. I’m tearing up now… Byebye Batiwtiw… Have fun in doggie heaven… We’ll miss you…

byebye Batiwtiw :'( December 27, 2004 - September 24, 2008

I’m only sorry I don’t have enough pictures of him in this post. I have a lot  pics of him in my laptop at home, but since I’m at work I don’t really have the privilege of accessing those photos now. Boohoo

migraine.

“nahihilo, nalilito. asan ba ‘ko sa ‘yo? aasa ba ‘ko sa ‘yo?” … he was singing this yesterday, oo magkasama pa kami nung umaga. =/

IT’S OVER…

and yet, i’m smiling. it didn’t affect me the way i thought it would. i didn’t even cry last night. i even saw him with “her” (the bitch) today. wala, deadma. actually, tawa ako ng tawa.

he gave me a jersey of his last year. late september if i’m not mistaken. i returned it… i left it in the middle of his bed while no one was in their dorm room. he texted me about it probably when he got back to his dorm, approximately about an hour after i left it there. he said “binalik mo na pala yung jersey na bigay ko sayo..” and a few hours later i replied something like, “yeah..aanhin ko naman yan, *name*?..it only reminds me of you..” NAAAKS ANG EMO! hahaha parang naging kami e no?

he didn’t reply anymore. i guess, it’s not meant to be.

this is how a heart breaks.

napapadalas pag-post ni imee dito ah. bakit kaya? =/

we were okay. then we became super okay for quite a while. then we had, erm, nothing, as in no communication. then we became okay again. then super okay for like, what, a day?! then he said something wrong. it made me feel a thousand negative emotions. i told him what i wanted to say. all he said after about 5 hours was “Hi ü” i acted as if nothing happened. we both did. then we became okay again. then off he went to sleep, and here i am at work discovering things i am so not liking. the girl he’s sad about, and the girl i questioned him about and he claimed was only a friend…they’re one and the same.

F.C.U.K. (yup, sadyang wrong spelling. BAKET BA. BADTRIP AKO E.)

i want to cry, a tear rolled down my cheek earlier. but as in cry? WALA. i don’t think i can. i don’t think he’s worth the tears now. not until he redeems himself truly.

no one else comes close..?

// September 2nd, 2008 // Comments Off // Life, Love

For some reason, I keep hearing this in my head. I don’t know how it got there, because I haven’t heard this song in quite a while. Apparently there’s this guy out there listening to it at this very moment. ENOUGH! I can’t take it anymore!

Yesterday started out right. He greeted me with “Morning ü” which was very rare. So I said, “Good morning! have a great day” His answer, “You too ” So I said, “Okay na ko, nag text ka na e.” It all started from there. At first he kept saying binobola ko siya, but I never did that. Sige, flirt, oo. Pero bola? I don’t think I’ve ever lied to him yet. And I have no plans of doing so.

We were super texting the entire day. As in from waking up, ’til breakfast, ’til he had to go to class, ’til lunch, etc., etc., etc… I was already hanging out with a friend, but he was still the one I’m talking to. Kwich lang kami ng friend ko, may katext din naman siya. Hehe ;p But seriously, he was the one I was concentrating on. We were talking, joking a bit, a “miss you imee :*” here, a “miss you too *HULAAN NIYO NALANG SINO!* ” there… Even a “Hug please? ” became part of the conversation. Mga banatang “Fishing ka ha hehe” and “Baket? Isda ka ba para hulihin ko?” Sagutang, “Adik ako sayo hehe” and “Hindi ako droga huy!ü” Oh diba? Crazy, right? UNTIL…

“Ayaw. Ikaw gusto ko katext Galit kami ngayon ni *HULAAN NIYO NALANG DIN SINO PANIRA…*“

OUCH. So I asked him sino yun and what happened. He said she’s the reason why he was sad last time we talked and he was feeling down. Heartbreak daw. But here’s the weird part. He won’t talk about it. He keeps saying, long story, that he’ll tell me when we meet. I was there in school, and so was he. We had all the time and so many chances to hang out, talk… But he keeps avoiding the damn topic.

At the same time, I was confiding to a friend what happened. I said “=’( he doesn’t know what he’s doing to me. Torture to e..” but the text was sent to the guy. So hmm. What’ll he react? Until a few hours later, just as I was on the way to work (literal na kakasakay ko lang ng jeep!!!) I received a text from him..

“Uy sorry..”

WHY? GUILTY KA? But all I said was, “Ha?bkt sorry?..” He told me parang may nagawa daw siyang mali. I replied “Pano mo naman nasabi?..” nafeel lang daw niyang may nagawa siyang mali. I asked, “Ano naman yun?..”

That was it. He didn’t reply again. I sent him a quote later on that was “super sakto.” Nothing.

Will I ever hear from him again? Maybe I should make a move and talk to him. I’m even planning on sending him a “final” text later when I get home, around 7am before I hit the sheets and go to sleep, hoping never to wake again. It hurts me how we got in this “MU” situation, and then finding out there was someone else before me.

Good morning.. Hate to say this pero oo *guy’s name*, may mali kang nagawa yesterday..i think you know what.. Hnd lang kaw ang heartbroken. *guy’s name*, ako din heartbroken dahil sa sinabi mo.. But then who am i to complain?.. Ayaw ko nalang dumagdag sa problems mo.. I hope okay na kayo ni *his girl’s name*..

…and you don’t believe that i feel your pain

// August 29th, 2008 // Comments Off // Life, Love

Ganito ba talaga pag pareho kayo ng zodiac sign? Naghihintayan na lang parati? Pero this is super freaky. Sumakto siya. We had a little “heart-to-heart” (slight) a while back. I’m sad for him. I really am. I just hope he does believe me when I said that if he needs someone, I’m here. I’m patiently waiting… Please smile, just try. I love it when you do.

The Bottom Line
The person you are worried about needs your patience. Don’t force them to talk yet.

In Detail
The person you are worried about right now needs your patience and your support more than anything, so give them the space they’re asking for. Do not be too demanding of them about coming clean with all their innermost feelings — if they don’t feel like sharing, that doesn’t mean they don’t trust you. It might just mean that they don’t even know how they feel yet. They need to process things, and you need to let them do it. You’ll be the first one they call when they’re ready to talk.
