i'm so sick of your HUMONGOUS EGO!

to make it simple... i'm just sick of you. jerk. pft.

i hope you drown in your overflowing conceitedness.

(lindsay lohan's pic speaks for me!)

this is my final goodbye to "you"

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 12:21:40 GMT

i'm saying goodbye to the possibility that could have been called "us".

i wanted to say "thank you"

but i couldn't say "thank you"

because it's like "Good-bye forever"

and it's just so sad...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 EVERYONE! <33

so i spent christmas eve like our everyday tradition here in the philippines. attend mass at 10pm. when we get home we eat our NOCHE BUENA (christmas dinner) and then we wait for 12am (which probably is the time we already finish eating anyway) and then the opening of the gifts come! heehee <33

with one of my christmas presents a patterned black and white skull print bag that is so huge i can make it a carrier bag for Boris. heehee i got it from my brother :)

this is a gift from my sister a hello kitty grooming kit <33

i got an emerald dangling earrings from my mom, cash from my dad and some accessories and clothes from my friends :D

on christmas day we hosted a christmas party here at our house and my relatives from both parent's side came :)

i spent the cash my dad gave me on shopping at Greenhills! <33 yay! theraphy for me! heehee.. i'm so materialistic -_-

my first inaanak Belle celebrated her 2nd birthday in Jollibee Libis. i was being such a killjoy during the games... well it was a kiddie party... and i really wasn't in the mood to play. eventhough the older adults were forcing me to. but the food was really delicious. yum yum jollibee! <33

...i really missed hanging out with my grade school friends. especially kat and carla. the three of us used to be sooooooooo close. now... it's just me who isn't attached or commited to something or someone else right now :( how sad for me huh?

we spent our new year's eve and day at tagaytay. a mountain city in the philippines. we stayed at a hotel there. we joined the hotel's countdown to midnight and enjoyed the fireworks! they were really pretty :)

some pics!

of course i've got a lot of pics with boris. :D but i have pics with my family too :) i just don't want to post it :D

hheeeeeyyyyyyyy it's been more than a week since i last updated.

my second semester has started already. and it started with me feeling so unusually cheerful! i know it's good to be cheerful and all. but i also don't like the feeling because i know that whenever i become too cheerful... bad things happen. i mean... surely it doesn't happen only to me. when you get to experience unusually consecutive incidents of happiness, before you know it, something will happen that will make you cry or will make you uneasy and nervous about something you don't know! but at the same time you kind of know the bad thing is about to happen! o_O

my first second sem week passed kind of smoothly with me being one of the most cheerful ones in class. i was being considered by the class to be the new class representative. psshhh. and my "talents" were kind of wanted for our general assembly and i "humbly" declined the offer... heehee <33

the second week started with a dreadful thing for me... i was appointed secretary to a "corporation" for a perfume. pfft. which i'm not sure will even push through. if it won't then i would consider being the class rep.

my blockmates were telling me that i looked different...in a good way :) thanks :D

my inspiration is not all that inspiring lately... maybe i should really just give up on that person huh?
:(

and i've started to think seriously of what i would do after i graduate. i've got a lot of ideas on my mind right now. but the idea that i should really go with is that i should apply for a job that is related to or involves what i LOVE/LIKE to do. and i know it will make things easier for me as a young "professional".

weekly pics!

day before class starts i met up with carla and kat! "cousin" bonding once again... i miss those days :(

one of my early dismissal school days :D

and i finally know why i've been feeling almost consecutive cheerfulness these past 2 weeks. last night while driving (absent-mindedly and carelessly) my mom, sister and i almost got into an accident! i almost had a intersecting collision with a taxi!!!!!!!!!! it would have been an accident if my mom and my sister didn't warn me that there was an incoming fast cab to my right side. i was foolish and careless not to stop at THAT intersection! every road was free when i was driving to Robinson's Galleria so i thought that every road was free. what a foolish thing to think! it was really traumatizing! i was shaking after it happened! i don't even want to think about what would happen if ever we really got hit by that cab! it would have been a big car accident! the 2 of us were so fast! i am so thankful and grateful to God that i was able to hit the brakes in time. now i'm already afraid of driving. :(

this photo was taken just today before giving my dog, Boris a bath :D

i've been hurt by my pride lots of times this week... i should consider humbling myself a bit... maybe a LOT! :(

out with my PRIDE!

i SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hate my father right now. i purely loathe him! i am revolted by what he has done to the cats i have always tried to protect and shelter in our house temporarily. just tonight i was starting to get a connection to two kittens and he was really furious that i let them inside our gate and he hosed them with cold water to scare them! i can't believe that i have an insensitive cruel person for a father. the other thing that he did is just too ruthless for me to type down here.

all i know right now is that he is going to get what he deserves from me sometime in the future. he will remember his irresponsibility as a father. his selfishness... i will make him remember these times when i already have my own house, my own money and my own family. i won't need him anymore so i can say all these things to him. i will say that i am soooooooooooooo unlucky and unfortunate to have him as a father. when my parents grow old. i will only take care of my mom. i'll probably send my dad to some nursing home.

revenge is sweet. i can't wait.

i'm sorry if this is such a mean entry. but my dad has really angered me right at this moment.

so this is the last night of my last semestral break... *sniff*

my sem break is actually supposed to be 3 weeks. but i felt like it was 2 weeks only. well because our TBS was on the first week and then the getting of grades and then enrollment followed on thursday and friday.

my grades were fine... except for business statistics. i sssuuuuper hate that gaminde professor. she's unbelievable. how unfortunate of us to have her as a professor for business statistics. i don't like our new schedule for the next semester. but i know i'm going to get used to it. only a few weeks and i will adjust. but i hate adjusting! but i should just think that this is my last semester and that i should treasure it :)

i had nail art for free at bioessence. i took a picture of it but i'm afraid my camera's too low megapixel for the design to be seen perfectly.

it's supposed to be a doll's face. do you see it?

i think this doll is a BJD. it is soooooo much more expensive than pullip dolls and they look more realistic :0 lol some of my friends are freaked out by these kinds of dolls. wahaha i guess i'm just a real toy lover :)

and then i also took pics of my favorite picture subjects in the house... my dog, Boris and one of my pullip dolls, Fumi! <33

fumi is promoting my picture in thailand :D

boris is sad because i was taking pics of fumi instead of him. so i took his picture too :) cute!!!!!!!!!!

i think he was getting jealous that fumi was with me in the pic so i joined him in the picture too :) he looks a bit satisfied here.... haha

i took another pic of fumi with my picture promoting our cheerleading competition. that pic was 2 years ago haha i'm an ex-cheerleader. did you guys know that? heehee <33

it was boris' 2nd birthday last october 16! this is a late birthday greeting for him! happy 2nd birthday boris bear of alreen! <33

this a cute pic of my mom, aunt and uncle blowing the cake for my (killjoy) grandfather. (its actually HIS cake but he doesn't want to blow it)

i'm so happy because i was able to buy 2 jpop cds! i don't usually buy cds of japanese artists. i usually just download it on the internet. but i felt like listening to them seriously and supporting them. i bought...

ayumi hamasaki's 6th album, My Story and

utada hikaru single collection volume 1

i've bought them both at comic alley! and i hope my reservations would be granted. and now i've been happily listening to them :)

anyway just tonight, my mom, dad and i attended a healing mass. it was my first time to attend one. and wow it was a great experience. eventhough i didn't fall down after the priest prayed over me... i still felt it... the holy spirit. i may sound corny but it's true. no kidding. even up to now while typing this entry i can still feel it within me. God answered my prayer :)

tomorrow is the start of the next semester. after this semester its "hello! professional world!"

wish me luck! tc!

so this was 2 weeks ago. october 15-17 2007.

the entreprenuership department (my college course) had the Team Building Seminar at La Luz Beach Resort at Batangas. it's kind of like a class outing. but we had the whole entrepreneurship course with us. except for the freshmen. we had the sophomores, juniors, the seniors and some faculty members.

we had our strategic planning, stockholder's meeting... all on the beachside of the resort O_o and we had the bonfire night (bonding session). the next day we had the team games and a kind of dress-to-impress party during the night and then the DRINKING SESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i only had it with my blockmates of course. but there were other "parties" on the resort rooms too :) there wouldn't always be fun without alcohol huh? :D

i would have posted a video of myself dancing the "shabuya dance" (the one from bring it on 3?) and making my friends laugh... but i think it's really embarassing! you would be shocked! there is no scandal of course. we were really just having fun. <33

this was the best TBS ever! of course... it's already my last :)

oh and did you notice? i had my hair newly cut and colored? it's kind of orangey brown <33 heehee

please comment and watch my whole slides!!!!!! i worked really hard :(

this slide shows the last days of my last first semester at college. :D all pics are dated september to the first two weeks of october :)

<33 we needed pics that showed us doing the peace sign for a project. so we took lots and i just chose 1 to show for the slide.

<33 i was able to buy a cupcake at cupcakes by sonya. i seldomly buy there because it's really expensive! but fortunately i was able to buy the most delicious so far as i have tasted! the vanilla sunshine cupcake with chocobuttercream! yum! <33

<33 we went to tagaytay for mom's birthday. we also brought boris. we ate lunch there. went to the pink sisters. drank hot beverages at starbucks and went home to manila :)

<33 maarte co. had a sudden malling trip at Trinoma because of the fashion school graduation that maika and tin attended. so we went there and the clothes were really wow. i wish i could be a model for just one day :D

<33 we had our graduation photoshoot last september 26. if ever you were wondering, we had three poses. that's why i was wearing many clothes for the shoot... 1 toga shot, 1 filipiniana shot and 1 creative shot. my creativer shot is tanpopo inspired :) kind of fair lady like :) the real shots are coming soon. will post it asap when i receive it. <33

<33 it was my nephew lucian's baptism last september 30 :) i was able to carry him properly. maybe because i always carried boris like a baby that i was able to hone my skills? ...lol

<33 we had our culinary final exams. and i was placed on the marketing team for our catering event. so i wasn't able to do much on that day because our team's job was mainly for the promotion of the event so... i was really bored that day. but i had fun especially during the awarding :)

<33 it was st francis' blessing of the animals last october 7. i went there with boris, my mom, ate, meanne and ayla and their dogs :)

<33 we had an orientation for our TBS trip at batangas. i fooled around after, by trying to imitate nicole richie's paparazzi poses :D

please take time to watch my slides again :D i worked hard choosing the pictures :)

coming up is the pics and (videos?) from our TBS trip at batangas <33

My Bangkok Thailand Experience and first time to ever leave the Philippines

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 07:27:40 GMT

September 5 2007 Day 1

the first day was just a SURREAL experience for me. i still couldn't believe that i was about to fly an airplane to leave the philippines. i've never been out of the country since i was born and i'm already 20. so it's been kinda long right? and when i did ride an airplane it was just to get to different islands here in the phils. so it was really dreamlike to me.

even when we were already in Thailand soil, the reality just wouldn't sink in. well first because Thailand quite resembled the Philippines in a way. and the people also looked like filipinos. it just sank in my mind when i realized that everywhere i look there are different characters for the alphabet and i also hear a different language from everyone.

i must admit that i was scared to interact with the people. but as in all countries you will always experience encounters with good and bad people. there were many fellow foreigners too. which maybe explains the thai salespeople bored attitude toward us. O_o

during the first day after settling down in the hotel. we went to MBK. a shopping mall that sooo resembled Greenhills, ate at KFC, did some shopping, bought a Dairy Queen Blizzard (it's cheap!) and ate again at a thai restaurant.

well the first day was really tiring. but exciting all in all

September 6 2007 Day 2

the first thing we did on the second day was to get ready for the culinary convention that we were going to attend. it was the main purpose for this visit. so we wore business attires. and coincidentally. my white blouse and black mini-skirt resembled the uniform of the female college students there in Bangkok. if it wasn't for my blazer i would have been mistaken as a college student there. heehee

anyway when we arrived at the Royal Paragon Hall (a mall in Bangkok) we realized it wasn't a convention but an exhibit only. so we just viewed the booths but really didn't get to interact with the business people. BUT! the food really looked good and they tasted good too. there were many free samples! :D

we even experienced a scolding from our professor because we didn't meet the group on time O_o

after going to the exhibit, we went to the Gems Gallery and saw so many sparkling jewels! i even saw diamond rings that looked like they were really not made for wearing but for viewing only o_O i think i know where our show-off philippine celebrities get their bling-bling. lol

and then after going to the Gems Gallery, we went shopping at different malls in bangkok. i can tell you. bangkok is a shopping HAVEN! if only i wasn't on a thrifty mood i would bought a LOT of things. sometimes i even regret those unbought things that i left there in those malls... sigh.

after shopping we had a not so problematic problem. we almost felt lost and abandoned by our group. O_o we bought dinner at Mcdonalds and there i experienced my largest box of fries ever. good thing that i only ate breakfast the whole day. but i still wasn't able to finish the fries in that box. lol

oh and yeah, during this day i saw a scene that reminded me that my religion, catholic is not the only religion in this world. i've been so cooped up in the phils that i thought everyone adored and praised my God. i guess to "each his own" huh?

September 7-8 2007 Day 3 and 4

the third day was a city tour! we first stopped at a coconut place. i started seeing the japanese tourists there. <33 and then we went to the Floating Market. we rode a boat to get there. and it literally was a floating market. while you are seated on the boat, you can make a stop at some shops and buy there and the salespeople will go to you. :D but our group parked our boat and we went to some kind of bazaar where the shops were all together and bought there.

we had lunch at the Elephant Zoo. thai food is really spicy! o_O and then we went inside the zoo and saw tigers, crocodiles, BIG catfish and then the elephants! they are really adorable! we saw mommy and baby elephants. the mommy eplephants were reaching out their trunks to us as if begging for food! o_O aww. and the baby elephants were really tiny and cute. i was able to sit on the back of a cute 5 year old elephant. he even said "hello". it was a cute trumpet sound though... <33

and then we watched a magic show (which was really entertaining) and then the elephant show came up. the elephants were really cute and they know a lot of tricks. they even played soccer! with "ole ole" as the background. lol some were even "warming up" before the show and they were really shooting goals. cute. and then after that a stage fight issued displaying how elephants battle in war O_o

after that we went to a buddhist temple. and i saw the images of their gods. there was even a small adoration temple that resembled our blessed sacrament here in the phils. i was really stunned when we went inside because i couldn't tell if the person in the middle was alive and just meditating or if he was a preserved corpse who was sitted in a cross-legged position. there were even humming sounds inside. no one of us was really talking. it's just out of respect for the buddhists inside the temple. when we went outside our tour guide said that he was just a replica of the person. so it WAS a statue. too realistic if you ask me.

after that we went shopping again at the malls. it was our last shopping spree because we were gonna leave the next day and so i shopped for my family, friends and of course myself. :D and then we ate at another thai restaurant and had fun! it was fun to talk in a language no one else understood but yourselves. but it could also be mean :D

and the fourth day came. we experienced an embrassing tell-off from our professor again because we were FINAL CALLed on the airport :D waha naughty seniors. and then we were back in the philippines!

it was really a fulfilling and learning experience. one seminar person was right about saying that by experiencing the culture of other countries you would learn a lot of things... LIKE RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKE YOURSELF :)

please take time to watch my slides. i really worked hard for it :) thanks. <33
