I really need the big guns right now. I'm talking about hard-core, need to talk meet-ups with the people whom I won't be ashamed to say what I need to say or rant (or cry) about.

One of the hardest things for me to deal with is when I can't meet other people's expectations, especially if I crave for the approval of those certain people. Lalo na their first impression of me was high. How many times do I have to say that I'm human? I'm disappointed...at myself because I know I'm trying to do my best and yet it still falls short. I like having a good impression on people, and it hits me harder than most when I see that they're disappointed at me. I don't even know if I should take the blame on things I no idea I was supposed to be part of or was supposed to fulfill. Damnit. =(

I really should have stayed in the kitchen. At least the pitfalls there are just physical and a whole lot easier to deal with. It's just that I couldn't say "no". =(

Koi. Kim. Evert. Chris. Eli.

God, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Oh God.

Keeping with my traditional birthday post every year... =P

I like birthdays. I like having my cell phone inbox full at the start of the morning, along with my Facebook wall filled with greetings. It's my special day! *confetti!* Nyahahah. Since my birthday this year falls on the unfortunate day wherein you see the people you love the least, Sunday, they decided to surprise me the day before. =P

Buns, Kits, Jodes, Char, Vinci, and Rach gave me a surprise birthday dinner at HEAT, complete with my own banana cream pie and balloons. =D Thank you, dears. =) Spent the start of my birthday with them as well, downing a couple of beers with my favorite Enderun drinking bud, Jodes.

Couldn't wake up earlier than 10am today, which is bad since I had plans to go boxing and go to the spa before heading off to my birthday mass. Anyway...went to mass, then to Serendra for lunch. Mamou was full, much to my disappointment. Had to settle for Abe (horrible service and ambiance, sub-par food, oh...and my molar got chipped - long story) instead. Picked up an NY cheesecake from Miss Desserts! Yuh-UM! =D

From the first to the last:
Lance, Buns, Kits, Jodes, Char, Vinci, Rach, Nickie, Yas, Bea, Koi, Kimkim, Jang, Ail, Chard, Chef M, Derek, Mikoy, Tina, Pola, Nicky, Bill, Marwin, Pauie, PiaB, Ed, Chingpats, Reg, Kwinsi, Kathy, Mel, James, Jal, Osbert, Migs, Carol, Kash, May, Carlos, Kevin, Eli, King, Tyn, Jang, Menchu, Leen, Sir Dave, David, Bianx, Kathy, Kimchi, Essa, Marwin, Jey-Aiy, Karen, John, Nona, Clang, Lili, Tash, Cams, Mon, MM, Bertie, Jina, Jess, Welo, Ryan, PiaL
Thank you. =)

So I'm 23 years old, none the wiser nor richer...I'd love the say that it was an extraordinary day, but as you get older, it really just feels like yet another day. =P Birthday party? Wait for it...I'm tying it up with my despedida. =P

I love Russell Brand. <3 Heeeheeem

I'm not normally a clumsy person, but I think today qualifies me as one.
My right butt cheek hurts like an abused punching bag. That usually happens when it hits a steel step, bounces off on another, skids off one, and finally lands squarely on a rain puddle. My jazz pants quickly soaked up dirty water. Pfffft. Stupid, slippery steel steps! Hmpf. Of course, it's not my fault. Nyahahaha.


So that's my quick update for the week. *bow*


ps.
Elorde has the weirdest music...They actually play senti songs. *slaps forehead*
WTH.
Horrifying or hilarious?

pps.
Just checked...so that's why it hurts that much. I have a purplish, redish, greenish 4-inch wide bruise on my right butt cheek. My god. Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Just so I won't forget what has happened in the past few weeks/days...

1. Sydney was fun. Tiring. Hellish because of uncontrollable attitudes. FREEZING. As I repeatedly said, the water isn't ice-cold, it's dry ice cold. I'm too lazy to upload videos/photos right now. Oh...and although I did enjoy the place, I wouldn't mind not coming back. The place didn't feel 'right' for me, for some reason. =t

2. Brought home a crap-load (okay, 8 kilos) of veal chops and osso bucco, lamb brains, lamb roast, and steaks. Vegemite, anyone?

3. Went boxing yesterday after 17 days of being MIA. Hello expanded lungs, nausea, and dry heaving. It's even worse than when I started! Embarrassing can't even begin to describe it.

4. Missed dad's birthday last  Sunday (20th). Ate at 22 Prime last Sunday (27th) and was terribly disappointed. Carrot and Ginger Soup and the Salad bar were a great prelude, making me think that the prime rib would be great...pffft. Can I call it tough without being shot by 22 Prime fans?

5. Pray for my F1 visa--it's the last one before everything can be settled. =)

6a. Oooohhh, what an accomplishment! *snicker*
6b. Honestly, was that an entry meant for yourself? Again, a mirror, s'il vous plaît.

7. Wow...it's almost August. In two months, I'll be leaving Cav already. Anyone interested in my job? It's quite nice. Or maybe it's just me because I love the place, and I know it's a temp thing? =P But no, seriously, it's great. Interested? =) Oh...you have to be qualified to do it...a degree is a must. =)


Going boxing again later...I need to get back into it! Gaaaaaaaaah!!!

a 28 hour flight ahead. possibility of flight delays 
(500k pilgrims out of sydney, of course there will be delays! huhuhu)
...i think i've exeeded my baggage allowance.
exhausted as well. 
my kids weren't that mindful of rules and that makes things doubly tiring and embarrassing for me.

a small prayer, please?
or even just crossing your fingers. 
=( i'll make kwento when i get home...and after i eat lots of rice. haha 

But of course...

My personality type: the dynamic thinker. Take the free iPersonic personality test!


Dynamic Thinkers are confident and independent persons. They radiate enthusiasm and energy. Dynamic Thinkers pursue their objectives actively and energetically. They love nothing better than new challenges. This type is the born leader, competent, energetic and responsible. They have a sharp eye for errors and can criticise without mercy if they see the success of a project endangered. They are completely unconcerned as to whether they alienate anyone in the process. But they are always open to objective arguments; they love discussions, they are very gifted rhetorically and they are good at convincing and enthusing others.

As they are very sociable, Dynamic Thinkers like to have a lot of friends around them, preferably those with whom they can share their interests and discuss all sorts of subjects. They are very direct but never in an underhand or scheming manner. If you can bear being spoken to frankly, you have in them a loyal and unwavering advisor as friend. Everything new and unknown stimulates Dynamic Thinkers and awakens their curiosity. However, rules, routine and traditional things arouse their resistance. If something does not go the way they want it to, they can react rather pigheadedly and obstinately.

Dynamic Thinkers expect a great deal of themselves and of others. Whoever does not fit in with their scheme of things does not have it easy. They sometimes appear to be rather severe due to their frankness. Partners and family also find it difficult to satisfy Dynamic Thinkers. They know exactly what they want and compromising is inconceivable to them. Whoever has an Dynamic Thinker as partner should have a strong personality and have a great deal of independence and sufficient self-confidence in order to give this dominating type some opposition. Normally, for Dynamic Thinkers, a partnership only takes second place after their profession. But they like to have someone at their side who is a match for them intellectually, with whom they can pursue mutual objectives and have interesting discussions all night long; preferably factual discussions - sentimentalism and romance are not their thing.

It really makes you rethink about your preference...









OK, SO MAYBE NOT! =)) =)) =))
LOOK AT THAT! JAMES MCAVOY IS SEX ON A FUCKING STICK! GOODNESS LORD. XP
...and God created the perfect male specimen.


Go watch it (I did, twice hahaha)...I actually just gave it four stars (plot, characters, entertainment factor, etc.) but gave it another star solely because of the two scenes depicted by the photos above. >:P



Just sharing the good news cause I rarely feel this smart. =)) Sure, I have a feeling they send it out to most international students, but who caaaaares?! Nyahahahahha! =D

Was taking a shower when I got a message from my mom downstairs. CIA package just arrived. So I came flying out of my room to get it. In my bathrobe, with my towel turban on my head, I rip open the package. Lalalalala...Acceptance letter was expected...then I turn the page and viola...



*happy dance!!!* Reading it made me think..."What the hell?! I didn't apply for any scholarships!"
Because (1) I was tamad to do applications for them, (2) Merit-based scholarships are far-fetched for me since I'm a B-student until Enderun (even though I almost didn't make it to the DL). But now that this came in, I'll try for the Cream of the Crop Merit Scholarships, which has a $20000/year grant...I might make it. I wish. Hahahaha. Who cares, I'm going to at least try! Yay! =D

It just makes me super happy. =D The giddiness is still there...Sure, 3k doesn't make such a big dent in the annual tuition, but it's the fact that I'm smart enough to get a merit-based scholarship! ME! A B-Student got the scholarship! Who knew!? =)) I feel as smart (okay, not as smart) as my genius seester. =))

Anyway, got to hang out with the twins and May today. Got to see Auntie Josie again after a while of not seeing her. I love talking to her, honestly. At first, during the first few times, it was uncomfortable but after a while, she's someone who makes sense and observes the same things that I see. And we did agree on some points about current situations--that was very interesting to know. Charchar, Lovie, and Chingpats weren't able to make it. Pooh. KUNG FU PANDA!!!! It's Nickiebear on screen! =)) Nyahahahahhaha!

Ooooh...Also got to hang out with Assbitch last night in a random turn of events that led us to Fully Book's Starbucks Smoking Area. MIA for the last few months only to hear that he spent the last couple of months traipsing in, of all places, NAPA VALLEY! Damn you, you didn't even try to reserve a seat in the French Laundry! SACRILEGE! Nyahahhaha! Happy Birthday, Antonini! You suck! You didn't tell me it was going to be your birthday today! Kaya pala you were already drunk! =))



boxing and films

  • Jun. 16th, 2008 at 10:37 PM


i never thought i'd say this about something that's supposed to be exhausting and is related to that dreaded word *coughexercisecough*, but i think i'm falling in love with boxing. :)) usually, i'd just attend the first session and then quit but i went back this afternoon and paid in advance for future lessons. =P i guess it's all that hitting and punching involved. =))

but dear god, there was this petite girl there, half a head shorter than me and very attractive...and good lord, can she pack a punch. O_o^ the trainers even joke that she's manlier and stronger than some guys in there. but she's sooooo nakakatuwa. if i were a boy, i'd crush her. hahaha. oh...but i am a girl, and there's this hella hot guy there as well. quintessential eye candy, complete with shirtless goodnessoh yes, he has that v-shaped torso that i sooo like. >:P there, was that a girl comment or what?! =)) gaaaahhh. i know it made nicky cringe and turn up the radio volume in the car when i was making kwento hahahahah!

before i headed off to boxing, i went to the french film festival in shang to watch two movies. one was blah, the other was good enough. going back tomorrow after boxing in the morning. well, if all goes well and i don' feel tamad to wake up so very early. speaking of movies, i was browsing through a good list of french films in the net as well as my 'want to see' list in facebook (flixster). there's soooo many films i want to watch but have no idea how i will be able to watch them (since they're not available here or in the net...hehehe) and i barely have the time to watch as well. pfffft.

then there's WYD on the 10th of july...can i just say that my monthly period (hahahah overshare) started yesterday and it just pisses me off since i'm a regular and when i counted the days to my next period, it's going to be EXACTLY on the first day we arrive in sydney! GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! HASSLE! i need to remind myself to buy my pills for next month to avoid having that problem...*sigh* downsides of being a girl, i tell ya...super hassle. speaking of sydney, i have a feeling i won't be able to enjoy it so much since it's mainly a religious trip and i have five girls to look after in the trip. i sure hope they'd be game to explore the darned city cause if they are, i'll make sure they have a great stay. yabang ba? hahahah...but yeah, i'd do my damndest to give them a good trip.

darnit, there's so many things to do and see there and markets and bazaars to explore...and hidden diners to visit! plus their subway and bus system is AMAZING (and cheaaaap! yeay!) albeit a little more complicated than what i'm used to figuring out. yes, i haven't figured it out yet but give me a couple more days...hai, i'll just cross my fingers and hope to have at least three (broken or unbroken...doesn't matter, i'll figure it out) free days out of the ten days there. pffft. hahahah, i really have to remind chef m that i'll be gone for ten days (whahahaha), which means i won't be in at least one meeting and two functions at most. =P

there's really nothing much going on these days...and it's not as if i'd willingly go and visit people randomly anymore since gas prices are a pain in the ass now. the next few months will go ever so slowly...and i'm guessing it's going to kill me. *groan*


ps. i want to watch wanted!!! james mcavoy+angelina jolie...gaaaaaahhhh *drools*

35 days to Australia...
Who wants to go to Vietnam with me?! Tentative date is early September! =D

MOUNTAINS ARE EVIL!!!!!!!

  • Jun. 8th, 2008 at 9:49 PM
yaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!

A mountain tried to kill me today.
...at least it felt like it.

3 spills going up,
8 spills going down.

A bajillion and one paper cuts from cogon grass (yes, I doused my face and arms with alcohol after the climb),
twisted ankles,
jellied knees and calves,
two bruised palms,
a battered butt,
an expanded pair of lungs.

For a girl used to living in the city, a creature who loves her comfort and pretty much abhors back to nature activities, I can't believe I was able to finish that five-hour climb. From small pebbles that make you slip, to gnarled protruding roots that trip you, to humongous boulders that you need to hurdle, to even passing by foot-long centipedes...I really have no idea why I am still alive right now, if not for my LifeStick (I bought a tungkod for Php100 from a manong cutting bamboo for firewood because I was desperate not to roll down the mountain on our way back, and pretty much annihilate all living creatures with my bulk)!

I don't even walk from one end of the street to the other unless it's absolutely necessary! Good LORD! And to think that we only went to half-way of the mountain...CURSE YOU, MOUNT MAKULOT!!!
BUT YOU FAAAAILED!!! I'M STILL ALIVE!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!! FIGHT!!!!


I'm so sorry...but I couldn't scream and yell and curse the skies for my rotten luck and everyone else's during the climb since being one of the facilitators, we had the task of keeping the girls' morale and energy up. Oh my God. The girls that we were facilitating were AMAZING. ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY AMAZING. I cannot understand how they can go down a steep mountain without falling...and still get to talk to each other animatedly! Talk about balance! Good Lord! I was so close to breaking down after my 11th fall--cry and just sit there since every part of me was aching...but yeah, that wasn't an option at all. I am so not in shape.  A hundred meters going uphill during the start of the climb, and I was already sweating buckets.

The thing is, the mountain that we will climb in Australia is the Blue Mountains...one with paved trails, and bathrooms in every corner. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS TORTURE ALL ABOUT?!?!? GAAAAAAHHH!!!

Anyway, I do feel proud of myself. Because during times like these, I really opt to give up most of the time and wait until they're done at the "peak" (we just ate lunch and took pictures there) to go down. Sheer willpower. All I can say. I didn't think I could do it, but I guess, giving up is not an option during times like these. And it helps that I was with a great group. Honestly, if not for my LifeStick and Nina, my climbing partner and co-faci, I wouldn't have survived. I probably just let my head hit some boulder and expire. I can't remember how many times I wanted to do that while climbing. -____-'

Pictures to be added when I'm not this close to expiring anymore. Oh...and Boracay Adventure Update as well! =)


The French Film Festival starts on Wednesday! See you guys there! =D

Pau...
is someone who'd go lengths to make and prove a point.
But she won't do it if it would mean her harm in the long run. =P


Totally unproductive day, I'd have to say. *sigh*
Did hang out with Nick, Sinag, and Jang, though I really can't say 'hang out' would be the best thing to describe it. Harhar. I did, however, find out that I can finally tie my hair again! Wuuhoooo! Hahahaha. I do miss my long hair. This short hair stint is kinda boring the hell out of me, and it does get annoying sometimes. Pfffft.

Not being a sourpuss or anything, but later would have been the flight to Bangkok. Demmit. =t Escape! Back to one of my favorite destinations! And with the twins and Char...But as Nickie would say, Owel. I guess I really do have a thing for planning trips, especially the detailed ones--down to the last minute. Hahahaha. Of course, comes with the territory of a person who is mightily afraid of getting lost in the middle of nowhere. Might as well research on everything and anything about a new place, di ba? Might be boring for some, but it's fun for me. =P I would be very, very disappointed if the kids would get lost though *ahem[info]blue_apronahem* Hahahah!

Responsibilities are piling up again. I know work's very easy lately, but now that we're pairing up with Moët et Chandon and Belevdere for the next campaigns, I'm more than a little intimidated. Damnit, I want Chef M to like what I'm doing! I just can't read him well enough. Gaaaaah. Speaking of work, I've gotsa 9am meeting in Cav later...and I'm still awake. Yes, the weird body clock is still on. I hate only being able to sleep when the sun's about to rise. Sunrises be damned, I want to be asleep and dreaming about puppies and kittens before that time already! And half of my day's wasted as well since I generally don't wake up before half past noon these days. Urgh.

I still have a few things to say but now that I realize that I have less than 3 hours of sleep to enjoy before I have to wake up, I'd defer it to when I'm in Cav already...God-willingly that the wifi there doesn't plan on pissing me off. Hahahaha.

I dunno if you still read, but just in case...Happy 24th, Ry. *hugs* =)

pau and her small dilemmas

  • May. 15th, 2008 at 11:24 PM


thud...thud...thud...thud

That is the sound of my forehead hitting the kitchen table. -______-'

I do not consider myself as a technophobe. In fact, I love them. They make our lives so much easier. Then why...WHY do they hate me? The laptop isn't here yet. Damn UPS. It arrived the day after my relatives left for the Philippines. The iPod did make it though. Gah, why couldn't it be the other one that made it instead? Hahahahahah!

But that's not where the biggest frustration lies. My dying Toshiba laptop is so Jurassic already to the point that it cannot read the iPod. The iTunes version that I have in the laptop isn't compatible with it so I had to download the more recent version. So I did. But the version wouldn't update itself because the laptop has Windows Service Pack 1 installed and the iTunes version needs a WSP2! Gaaaah! I tried downloading it, it wouldn't update automatically! Gaaaahhhh! So now, I'm using the other laptop, which has a more updated WSP. -_______-'

Is there any way that I can just transfer the .mp3s from my old iPod to the new one? I'm being such a frickin' noob because I'm downloading all the songs again since the songs that I have in the iPod was downloaded using my IBM laptop (RIP). Haaaai. Hahahahah whatta shallow dilemma I have right now. =P I have a grand total of 20+ songs in my iPod. Wenk wenk wenk.


Work...work...work...
I just encountered a veritable asshole yesterday. Coffee or iced tea? Feeling cute pa! Yeah, we were laughing at you. Sorry.
Had a nice time catching up with a few friends last night at Sentro. Found a nice new dessert place, Sweet Confections (tama ba?). Hahahhaha! I shall recreate the damn Banoffee Pie if it's the last thing I do! Nyahahahah! The first three layers are easy to make, the base is a little tricky but I know it's a crumble base...Hmmm...Though I have to say how dare they do away with the dulce de leche layer!!! It's not a real banoffee pie if it doesn't have that heaven on earth sticky caramel that I can literally eat the entire day. I did that last year. Nyahahahah. No wonder I've got such a fatty ass.

I made lasagna verde for dinner today. T'was good, but I think it should be declared illegal to eat anything for 24 hours due to the amount of fat and calories a serving of that pasta dish has. -_____-' And to think I made two casseroles of it. Hahahahahah. I swear, cooking is such a therapy for me whenever I'm feeling frazzled. I bet anyone who has made a crapload of tomato concasse knows how calming it can be for a person. =P


Ooooohhh...
I have found the school that I want to go to after I'm done with my A.O.S. in culinary arts in CIA.




Hahahhaha...Promise. Last na to. Hotel and Restaurant Management Diploma. =))

Yeah, it's weird, huh? You're, like, so freaked out right now. You're running for the door. It's okay. You can go. Don't feel bad. It's really...

Stop doing that.
What?
The whole thing you just did. I wanna be here. If I didn't, I wouldn't be.

It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist.
Maybe that's all family really is.
A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

How are you feelin'?
Safe. When I'm with you, I feel so safe. Like I'm home.

Felt a little more than harassed with work. Compounded with my isolated state for the past few days. Okay! Okay! So I'm worrying again--it's nothing new. CIA applications went haywire as well. My fault since I forgot to email them that I'm supposed to be applying for Hyde rather than Napa. Had to write a transfer letter pa. Dumbass. But honestly, I have a lot to complain about right now. I want to...It's unhealthy for me to keep them all in for this long. UGH. And to think that this is post-PMS already. I need to breathe something that would calm me down...I'm feeling a little more than frazzled. It doesn't show on YM, yeah? Blergh.

I had another emo moment this evening while chilling at Nickie's. Oh, lookie...Ellipses.  :t

wow. four am!

  • Apr. 21st, 2008 at 4:14 AM

It's been a long time since I've stayed up this late for work. Contrary to popular belief, I am not a workaholic. It's just that it's the only thing that keeps me occupied these days, so naturally, that's what I keep on doing. The last time I was awake for work voluntarily at this hour was a around a month ago for that dratted restaurant analysis paper. My sleeping habits have improved lately, which is probably one of the perks of working alreadyit exhausts me enough to make me want to go to bed as soon as everything is done.

Why the hell am I awake at this hour anyway? No, it's not for work. It's for *drumroooooll* Aegis!

*slaps forehead in frustration*

See, the department (Public Relations and Communications) that I headed in the yearbook editorial board already received clearance. Meaning, all our work was finished even before my batch graduated. Anyway, no use ranting about that...suffice to say, I'm helping other departments with their backlogged work. It's not difficult encoding the edited version of the yearbook pages. It's just that after twelve hours of working on it, my eyesight is already whacked. And that's not the worst part of it.

Reading through the write-ups made me want to repeatedly scream, ANG BOBO NG NAGSULAT NITO! AT ANG BOBO MO DIN KASI PINAYAGAN MO NA ITO WRITE-UP MO! BAKIT ANG BOBO NG WRITE-UP?! SHET! FEELING DEEP, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NAMAN! LETCHE!

I swear, from the funny how-dumb-can-this-write-up-get, to the are-you-fucking-SURE-and-I-mean-a-hundred-percent-SURE-you-want-THIS-embarrassing-write-up-in-your-page?!?! to the ones that make you question if they went through English 11 and 12 in college...It's just way too much to bear at three in the morning. I'm no grammar Nazi, but COME ON. I used to think that the write-ups editor, who edited the hard copy of the yearbook, was too harsh with her sarcastic side comments, but now that I'm reading through them...SHE WAS DAMNED TOO NICE. I'm so temped to leave the side comments in the write-up. Ugh.

Anyway, enough with the yearbook ranting. Hmmm...might as well write updates about what's going on with me now.

(1) Enderun
Not an official student anymore. Manong Joe made sure I knew that since he won't let me enter the floor anymore. *sadness* Anyway, got into the dean's, as I hoped I would. Not the GPA that I wanted since I know that I worked I put in for the entire semester deserved a better grade, but yeah, I don't want to think about it anymore. The six months weren't wasted for sure.

(2) CIA
The admissions people contacted me already. Kaboom. Darnit. I was talking to Kitty yesterday about wanting it. There's no question about us wanting to succeed in this field. We're prepared to sacrifice everything just to get that one star. EVERYTHING. The big question then is, will we be able to reach that point? I don't like asking myself that, it makes me think about the different factors in my life that can hinder me from getting it.

(3) CAV
So I'm not in the kitchen anymore. I'm doing the restaurant's marketing. Yesh. My degree from college. It's fun work, not really heavy plus I love the place and of course, Chef M and J. It feels weired having this responsibility. Must get used to this new label. I'm getting my first official paycheck tomorrow...Ooohhh, so that's how it feels. =))

(4) Laptop

Ok. Sellout. I'm getting a PowerBook even after I swore never to get a Mac laptop, since I can't figure how that thing works. But Chard (who nearly had an orgasm after I told him the PowerBook model that I wanted and asked if the specs were good enough) and Earl convinced me that the space, speed, and...I forgot the other points that they had, basta it convinced me to get one. Hahaha. Pffft. I really need a new one. Preferably one that is super fast, with a gajillion space, and portable enough for me to lug around. Did I mention that this laptop that I'm using right now has its audio crapped out?! Hai. And to think that I'm editing super huge marketing collaterals for CAV, as well as InDesign files for Aegis right now. Darnit. I hope it doesn't die until I get the new one. Pffft.
