cup of tea


Just finished my my cup of tea... a pure black tea with no milk nor sugar. i hated the taste of tea ever since i was young, but today, i have this urge to have one.. i savored every sip, relished the taste of each drop of it..

BITTER SWEET.

It only takes a cup of tea to make me feel invincible. i conquered. i won. Now, maybe this is the first of my new addiction...

insanity


Have you tried being so unreasonably overly-sensitive?
That a simple comment or joke, turned you into a paranoid angry loser?
And you felt the whole world is against you, laughing at you!
It made you so mad, that you cried your heart out, until you finally feel so sorry for yourself?
And at the end, you felt that you are so bad because you acted that way?

How weird could that be?

my valentine date

As much as i wanted to make this entry as detailed as possible, but, di pede.. or else, may mga secrets na ma reveal... ;-) and, i am just so tired to write something today.. so, i will let the pictures do the talking..

me, kaloy, coshie, carmelye, cating, gogo
we ended up eating our dinner at ice castle... all restaurants were fully booked! next time, we need to really get a reservation. ( well, cathy already had a calling card of cafe adriatico..heheh). but, even if that happened, it didn't ruin the night... in fact, we all had a great night! so, who says Valentine's are just for couples?? :D

our "ala-time-capsule-bear" given by Krua Thai during last year's valentine dinner date. and this gave way to our idea of writing our own wishes and our wishes to one another, and keep it inside here. it will then be read the following year and see how things go.. murag true noh?

and the most awaited moment... reading of last year's wishes. nakakatuwa! it reminds us on how we were the other year and what were our priorities then.. and sometimes things are just so different now, that what matters last year might not be the same at the moment.
me: ang babaw sa ako wish last year, wala pa jud na grant! tsk tsk tsk
kaloy: ingon ani diay ni? first time ko....

coshie: i wish nga magdayon si ..errr... ug si..... unsa ni jon? d ko kabasa..

cating: ang ato man ni bill sauna sa krua thai ..mahal man diay ta ug nabayad last year no?

after all the laughs, time to get serious with our new sets of wishes!


cating: hinaut unta naay ma grant ani sa ako mga wishes. grabe ka serious ra ba ni..

cosmo: mura naman ko ug nagsuwat pang maalaala oi. mangasaba pod ko ani sa mga tigulang..
carmelye: unsa gani to ang spelling sa name ni....errr..? cosmo, no cheating!

me: kanang something deep na pod ako i wish be.. basin diay matinuod..
kaloy: pa programa nalng ko !

After dinner, the night is not over yet..now, imagine our angelic voices singing our top picks at K1! Oiii... ka relate....

me: "but I'm in so deep. you know I'm such a fool for you..you got me wrapped around your finger .. do you have to let it linger? do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?"


cating: "... we were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it and all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away all this time you were pretending so much for my happy ending.."


coshie: "scared to death to say i love her..& I got all that I need right here in the passenger seat oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road knowing that she's inches from me .."



karl: " hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na makasama kang muli sa buhay kong puno ng paghihirap .. umuwi ka na baby"

CHORUS: " I never really loved you anyway ..No I didn’t love you anyway ... I never really loved you anyway ..I’m so glad you’re moving away"


even if non of the wishes last year came true for myself, atleast, i got a rose, chocolate, a heart cookie and a cd .. hehehe... it's different pala if you don't expect for anything, then, suddenly, i have all these! daig ko pa ang may bf! :D it was indeed one memorable valentine's night!

earlier in the morning, somebody asked me: "so, who's the lucky guy tonight?" , and i answered: "no lucky guy. just lucky friends"

And Lucky Me! =)

the thing called L - O - V - E (updated)




as a tribute to mr. Cupid, i collected some amazing stories my friends willingly shared on how "stupid" they get because of love. ganito talaga pag natamaan ka nang pana ni kupido...



"the most stupid thing I did for love was when I brought a gallon of our favorite selecta ice cream in my ex boyfriend's apartment as a peace offering in the midst of a worst lover's quarrel only to find out that he's not at home, nobody was home coz no matter how I rang the bell, no one answered. I ended up dialing his mom's number who happened to be in the province and asked where her son was! Stupid indeed coz I ended up heart broken and bringing the ice cream with me to my aunt's house and pretended that it's my take-out presents for them on my visit... Pity me. :( " -- aigreen


" there was a time when i thought i held someone in my arms so gently, yet beyond my senses she was already gasping for her air..." -- markG


"when we are in-love, we tend to do things that are beyond "normal" reasoning... we tend to be bolder in our actions just to get noticed by the object of our affection... just like when i had a huge crush on someone in college, i basically just stalked him around school.. i make sure i know what his schedule is, where he hangs out when he's not in class, take down notes of his clothes and shoes (so that i would know when he'll get a new pair of shirt..or shoes), but then it wasn't too crazy coz i didn't reach the point where i would follow him to his house :D and of course, all my classmates then knew i had a major crush on him .. i even went to the point of branding his ex as a major bitch for still hanging around with him .. but then they said she really was though :D " - - stalker me


"lost my savings to booze because of my unrequited love. " -- drunkard


" went to a hotel bar alone after having a big fight, drink the whole night, talked non sense to the bar tender and threw up at the hotel lobby ( this is not only stupid, but 1 of my most embarassing experience). My bf then fetched me and said sorry! alcohol is indeed effective! haha!! " -- daphnie


" being in love with someone who doesnt even know i exist. and holding on to that feeling even though i know in reality he would never be mine. " -- en silencio amare


"i once brought a friendship to jeopardy because of love. i thought the threat would be gone by stop loving and so i tried, but i just can't. beyond imagination i tried converting that feeling to as if i didn't know the friend, but once again i failed. so i thought i must continue befriending her and just love her from a distant, but she told me this unforgettable line, the damage has been done ... and i knew then, that it was the end" -- musiklaber


"swallowed all the painful things done and said to me by the recipient of my gugmang gi-atay just because I wanted to prove my love. -- bogo


" i agreed to be in a relationship with someone whom i barely knew since i was curious what it would be like" - curious me


"called him on his cellphone using a company telephone line and talked for about an hour . good thing, company calls were not yet monitored by then. " -- telebabadera


" agreed to go out on a date with someone, even if i had to pay for dinner because he was broke and i was desperate to be out on a date" - desparate me


"tried to run my motorcycle over a cliff sa busay. Good thing there was a signboard that stopped me from going over. Nabangga na lang ko. Instead na mahulog. Nyahahaha! " -- driver


"at first she was my "unknown" classmate, and didn't even know that almost every guy on campus knew her. but i tried talking with her one class day. From then on, a simple seatmate chat lead to hangout anywhere on the campus and on malls. I had the phobia of falling in love and so i tried avoiding her for a week and guess what? after a week... months... years... now... she doesn't seem to know who i was... a foolish me" -- cutie cutie slippers


"after 2 yrs of nursing my broken heart and trying to put all the pieces back together, a single hug changed everything and I went and gave my heart back to the one who broke it. Stuuuuuuuuuuppppppppiiiiiiidddddddd!!!" -- stupid me


" the most stupid thing i did for love was when i fall and was being so persistent with someone whom i think could love me back someday, that i haven't notice that what i did already irritated or annoyed her... which i felt so foolish, so selfish, so sorry, so stupid... " -- bedRocK


"proposed to my crush in front of my officemates and our company president even motivated me to do it . though i was a little drunk, but i was fully aware.. " -- GTO



so, there you go.. and who do you think is the most stupid? who do you think should get the "love sucker" award? just post your votes at the comment section below.. ahihihi... and thanks to all contributors! i hope you had fun while reminiscing those times... =)

song of the day

- - - LOVE DON'T COST A THING - - -

Think you gotta keep me iced
You don’t
You think I’m gonna spend your cash
I won’t
Even if you were broke
My love don’t cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your benz
I don’t
If I wanted floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don’t cost a thing

When you rolled up in the escalade
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the rolley Bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so I would notice you
But your heart’s a mess
Think you outta know
Doesn’t matter if you’re balling out of control

All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can’t buy, yeah


When I took a chance
Thought you’d understand
Baby, credit cards aren’t romance
So you’re tryin’ to buy what’s already yours
What I need from you is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn’t change, gotta hit the road
Now I’m leaving, where’s my keys?
I’ve got to go


A thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart and get what’s in my
Heart
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
There’s more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart and get what’s in my
Heart

---
i am always a JLo fan. i love all her songs. and this one really made me alive and kickin' in the office...

the chick.bow.

have u ever heard of the story
about the chick who flew?
she went up the tree and looked down below
unmindful of the danger and the pain that lurks
she closed her eyes, and dived head first
it was flying for her a split second of bliss
not to feel the ground below her
and only the wind setting the pace
and when she opened her eyes
to see where she's headed
the cold ground struck her
and her inside was opened
her guts spilled on the ground
blood joined her tears and she looked up
and saw him,
smiling a sad smile of defeat
she smiled back
with hope
raised her tattered wings,
bloodied and all
and said in death pale voice
"the flight was worth the fall"

(from a forwarded email)

my true color..


You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

i am getting married!


Now, i have your attention. ;-)

But, definitely, it's not me. It's just that these past days were full of "wedding" news. A family friend just got married last Saturday in Bohol. My high school friend is planning to get married hopefully late this year. And a close friend of mine is starting to consider getting married with her long time boyfriend. I really sensed the happiness in their voice and an excitement in their eyes when they told me that. And I am just happy for them, since they already found the man they can spend the rest of their lives with.

But this marriage issue is not new to me either. I had enough of this during my christmas break. My relatives were bugging me with my own wedding.. with all the when, where, what, why questions! I never thought my personal life would give that "noise" and be a topic of interest. ( i came from a big family. both parents. so, just imagine the "noise") Probably because, my sis got married at the age of 25, and yes, i'll turn 25 this year. =)

And just as i thought that being far from my hometown is a getaway from those topics, but, i was wrong. My cousin who is now based in Manila suddenly popped a message to me via messenger just last night. Here's a part of our conversation:


cuz: ul get married na daw this year? how true?
me: ngeek. wala ngang bf.
cuz: ows? i heard nagka balikan kayo.
(the buzz talaga! )

me: i'm contented being single as of the moment.
cuz: baka naman, may bago ka na dyan?
me: i go out with friends lng.
cuz: i'm sure marami kang manliligaw.
me: i enjoyed going out w/o asking permission and
enumerating who i am with.
cuz: cge ka, u will die an old maid. taray mo kasi, that's
why, takot mga boys sayo!
( r u threatening me? )

me: hehe. pass muna ako sa bf.
cuz: sabi mo eh. basta, part ako sa entourage ha?
(haay.. humirit pa! )


Well, i can only smile. Thank God, I am sane enough to think that i can't just take the next available man i'll bump into. Some would say that I have to look for someone ASAP since I am not getting any younger. And that didn't bother me at all. I know, someday, i'll get there. At the right time. With the right man.
