ROFL!LMAO!LOL!BBQ!!! =P

---I'm still breathing, you guys! And I will update soon!

School (Spring Session I) ends in 2-3 weeks and I'll be back by then! =)
Pray that I get into the Nursing program as they'll be giving out the results by early June already. So please, please, please.. I need all the help I can get! =)

I miss you guys, and I lavlavlav you all! Haha! =)

♥,

N.

P.S.
OMGosh, GG just had their finale. I'm soo sad! No more Monday nights to look forward to! =(

And if you think Spiderman is just a fictional character, well then booyaa, you're wrong! Haha! We saw our friendliest neighbor IN THE FLESH!! Woohoo!!

Too bad we didn't have any spare change to give (alam niyo naman shushal ako, puro buo dolyares ko, LOL!) that time, so we weren't able to take a picture with him. Huhu! =(
(I was thinking nga na kung okay nalang kaya na i-frenchie ko nalang siya in the pabaliktad position as tip para lang makapagpapicture with him, kaso naisip ko rin baka mainlove naman siya sakin at hindi na niya ma-save yung mundo kaya hindi nalang!)

And, and, OMGosh, I have a new baby! Haha! And it's not what you might think he/she/it is!

And, and, and, OMGosh! I have been all over the city this past month! Haha!

-Ellis Island-- Le Estatua de Libertad (???? LOL! Pardon my blonde Spanish moment),
-NYU,
-Central Park,
-Brooklyn (Coney Island), and many, many, many more.

Basta, basta! I'm soo excited to share with you guys all the kwento's! Haha! Kaya wait for me ha! I'll vee vack faster than you can say,

Vye-vye!!! =)

And the best boredom buster goes to...

2008-04-29T12:31:00.008-04:00

... www.Singshot.com

Rate this performance at The Sims On Stage

Sample, sample, sample! Haha!! =P
(I hope you'll still love me after this!)

I have been karaoke-ing online this weekend, everyone. Haha!!
Try it too, guys! Mag-feeling singers tayo together!

No need for those Magic Sings, they cost an arm! LOL!
Haha, endorser much? =P

Anyways if you do try it, check out my profile there! Let's be friends there too, if you make an account... add me and be my "fan." Woohoo!! Haha!

Here it is (Click!).

Wahaha! I'm not proud of any of the songs I've recorded there because at that time, I had the sniffles. Haha! But hey, all for good clean fun right?

And hey, if you do want to hear me at my "best" listen to my version of Smile (Lily Allen) or
Don't Know Why (Norah Jones) 'cause my friend told me it was one of my nicer ones. Haha.

(Well, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.. maybe he was only pulling my leg to get to my good side.)

Whatever... I liked my Yellow (Coldplay) and Here, There and Everywhere (THE Beatles) rendition better!
LOL! =P

Visual Artist nga ba? =P

2008-04-27T10:27:00.005-04:00

It has been practiced that during Senior year in CSA, we get to choose the class that we want to be a part of. They let us pick during our Junior year and the choices are as follows: Research, Computer, Accounting and Visual Arts. I didn't like maths and computers so obviously Accounting and Computer where no-no's. Because there were 10 sections, we were divided like this.

Sections:
A and B- Research
C and D(Pilot class)- Computer
E, F and G- Accounting
H, I and J- Visual Arts

I remember choosing Visual for my first choice for a number of reasons. First was because of the feedbacks that has been passed on to me by my upper batch friends. They told me that Visual was the most fun since we're gonna be getting lots and lots of free artsy-fartsy stuff (which turned out to be true cause I got a lot of Faber-Castell colored pencils, calligraphy pens, sketchpads, clays, paints, etc).

I also chose it because I knew that my teacher was gonna be Sir Nacion-- which had been a fave of mine when he taught our class in Freshman year. So can just imagine how happy I was when I learned that not only was he gonna be my teacher, he was also gonna be my adviser as well. Haha. =)

I was in Section J by the way, and no, the arrangement of sections weren't ordered from smartest to bobo-est. Haha. Defensive? No naman, I just want to explain.

Anyways, since Visual Arts was what was "labeled" as the funnest class, almost all the maloko's and the *ehem* "jocks" signed up there. Haha. Needless, I could tell you that my fourth year classmates were comprised of the more happy-go-lucky ones in the batch, and in my 13 years of stay there, I'd rank it as my favorite. Haha. ♥

***Shoutout's to my 4-J Cool classmates. Nyahaha! 4-J Cool is an inside joke, but I'm sure most of you are gonna get it 'cause hello, wag na tayo maglokohan, hindi tayo inosente. Haha!***

So yeah, this got long na when all I really just wanted to show you were some "artworks" we did in class. Haha.

My friend Toni was our adviser for that day because it was STAP (Student-Teacher A Program) week.. LOL! I forgot na what the A stands for! Arg! And so yeah, we had this activity... and based from the drawings you'll see later, we didn't really put much effort into it since it was one of those laughtrip class moments.

Read all about what happened in Toni's Multiply and look at the complete collection of the drawings there too.
Click HERE.

(I don't really remember who my partner here was 'cause both Leslie and Martin chose me as theirs. But I'm guessing it's Martin since I drew him as well. Haha, sorry Les!)

(3rd and 4th: Les and me in real life at a sleepover during our nene days.)

(By Les. Haha, kamukang kamuka ba? Pero atleast diba, pursigidong Nursing na talaga kami 4th year palang! LOL!)

(Arbul and me in real life, after graduation.)
(Sorry, blurred pics due to camera phone's stupid night mode.)

(Drawn by me. Oh diba, kuhang-kuha ko yung lips ko! At yung bridge ko.. antibay nyan for sure! LOL!)

(By Arbul. Tsktsk, may HD talaga yun sakin eh. Tingnan mo maski drawing niya nakatingin sakin! Haha!)

And here's just one of my most fave ones.
It's from my classmates, Mayo and Jul.

Scenario: After 10 years
Mayo: "Hi, musta?"
Jul: "Asenso nako pare!"

Haha! Laughtrip talaga to eh! =)

Haha. So ayan. Ayan ang product ng pagiging Visual artists namin. I'm sure proud na proud samin ang adviser namin! Haha, LOL!!! =)

I MISS Highschool!
♥

Riddikulus!

2008-04-26T14:53:00.003-04:00

My week-long Spring break was so... blah!
Haha! I don't know how else to describe it! It's just so boring and predictable.. It could basically be described in 3 sentences.

Phone calls and Y!M's with my friends from here and back home.
Watched not only one, but two crappy movies. (Well in a way this was nice since the person I was with wasn't crappy!)
Ate pizza and subs for dinner.
Pigged out and couch-potatoed at the house. (Hmm, well this was also nice because of the laughtrip moments.)
Went to malls but sadly, just window shopped.

Oh, my bad, I made 5 sentences. LOL.
Well, okay, I guess it wasn't really THAT bad... It just wasn't THAT good either! I mean, 'cause last Spring break I made a promise to myself that I would really have fun this year to make up for last year's lame ass-excuse of a vacation. Atleast last year I was at the beach this time of year! And so, yeah, I was really looking forward to this but whatever. Haha. I still had fun. Atleast I got to spend some quality moments with.

Haha. =P

Anyways, on others news... Have you guys heard or read about this?
The paparazzi people really are pervs!

I mean hello, it's very evident.. very obvious infact that poor Emma was trying her best to keep her legs together!
These stupid pap's just keeps on shoving their cameras in between every woman/girl's private parts. And she's how old? 16? 17? Pfft! Freakin' phedo's! I just want to Sectumsempra them all!

Arg, I still want to share a lot of stories with you but I just don't feel like sitting down anymore.
Haha. It's the second day of my 5-day womanly cycle and the cramps on my lower abdomen are freakin' annoying me so I just want to walk them out. Haha.
It's really soo much fun being a girl, no?
Pfft. Sarcasm.

Still hungover from the passover.

2008-04-22T11:57:00.000-04:00

I just don't understand why--

... YOU would every now and then still check on me (which would be awesome if you did that to me when we were still together, but YOU didn't), when in fact it was YOU who told me to leave?

... YOU would call me a "Whore" when in all honesty (and YOU and I both know this), it was YOU who cheated?

I just don't understand how--

... YOU could compose a message, insinuating that it was me who started it, when in fact it was YOU who plops in every now and then on my "people who viewed me" list.
-- And no, I didn't check your guestbook... my good friend did.

... YOU could act that way, being superior and all, still having your pride intact when it was YOU who made an ass out of me, and not forgetting to mention, fooled me.

I just don't understand what--

... happened to YOU.

... made YOU like that?
YOU were so nice to me, before...

I guess I really shouldn't care anymore.
It has been almost half a year for goodness sake!

It's just that your ghost keeps on coming back. YOU keep showing up in the most unexpected places... And whenever YOU do that, every tear, every memory, every emotion, everything, just suddenly comes back to me.

I have gotten over this.
I swear I'm okay now!
I've been really great for months now... but the thing that happened this weekend really placed a frown on my face.

I guess all my "Why's" would never, ever be answered in this lifetime.
And I'm not expecting or do I want any response from YOU.

I just want to let everything out.
Tell the whole world what really, truly happened because I'm sick of being thought of as the bad person.

I have forgiven and somehow forgotten all.

But the fact still remains, YOU made a douche bag out of me.
And for that, I could never trust nor respect YOU again.

At 8 tonight, the whole world stops.

2008-04-21T11:08:00.000-04:00

Oh My Gosh! O___o

Can you spot who's beside our Queen B?
Can you spot our little Dan's manboobs?
Can you spot Jenny's almost Double D's?

See you all Upper East Siders tonight at 8!
I'll be there, I'll be watching... and so will Gossip Girl.

N. ♥

So call your shawty and tell him you found a new man, the one who’s so so fly, the one that keeps you high.

2008-04-20T20:24:00.004-04:00

I just finished watching Degrassi's newest season! I'm soo darn happy!! =)

I missed watching my Degrassi! It has been one of my faves way, way, wayyy before Gossip Girl (new episodes start tomorrow at 8, woohoo!) started. I haven't been able to watch much of it on TV since The N Network switched their home channel, so watching it almost half the day yesterday gave me my much needed fix! Haha. =)

Heyyy, is this a sign of what I'll be doing for my 1 week Spring break?-- Staying home, being a couch potato, blabbing away on the telephone???

Noooo.. I don't like! Haha!! =P

I want to go to the beach, take my top off and pose for the camera while shouting,

"SPRING BREAKKKK, 08!!!" (insert planting a frenchy on some random, preferably French guy here) "WOOHOOO!"

Jokeee lang. LOL! =9

--But the beach part was true. I seriously want to go beaching. Haha! Someone please take me? =)

♥
Anyways, I'm soo excited for my Mom is gonna be taking her DMV test sometime this week. Gaaah!! I can't wait for her to finally get her license here! She was a great driver back home (na hindi ko namana dahil oo, more than 5 times ko ata nabanga yung kotse namin!), and I'm soo looking forward to driving around the city with her... just like we used to. =)

Haha. Old school Mother and daughter picture.

Lavlavlav my Mommy. ♥

Here I am pimpin' my cousin--

2008-04-19T11:49:00.005-04:00

-- (cross-posted this from my Multiply.)

My cousin can make KevJumba or Nigahiga run for their money. Haha! =)
Jokeee.

(It really doesn't have an audio till you get to 30+seconds, but trust me, it's worth the wait!)

I can't believe my cousin's a You-Choob star now! LOL! =)
KevJumba, Nigahiga??? Tss, soooo last year! Now world I present to you, Gene Paolo. (*insert audience claps here*)
Chinito boys, unite!!! Attack! Haha! =)

I don't know the guy he was with in this video, but he told me it was his bestfriend. (My cousin's the one wearing the blue top, btw.)

I guess they shot this in their dorm room.
I mean, in our dorm rooms.. I was in the same dorm before (not room though, just the building!) when I was still studying back home. It's the one in front of the DLSU-UMC-- De LaSalle University Medical Center (Only DLSU-D people can relate to this! Haha!) and we would call it Deerland or USA because the owners of the building were literally raising deers inside. Haha!

Who would have ever thought that from USA (usa), I would be typing this from U.S.A (United States of America) ??? LOL. =P

My cousin never fails to make me laugh with his silly-ness. Haha! He's one of my closest that's why I miss him so much. I'm glad that now I could see more of him because of his videos, and hopefully really see him (as in flesh and bones) when they come and visit this December. Yey! =)

*I couldn't embed it from their account so I just recorded the video while watching it-- that explains why it was shaky, 'cause I was ROFL-ing myself while recording it! =)

Always be my baby. =)

2008-04-18T13:15:00.001-04:00

I was rooting for Jason (just because he is oh-so-hot!) before, but after watching David's performance last Tuesday, I changed "chickens" (my manok.. Haha!).

I love, love, love his version! It's even better than Mariah's, in my opinion. Haha. It's just superbbbbb!!! Nalaglag talaga yung panty ko!! =P LOL! =)

And I don't really care if he wins or not ( but it would most definitely be better if he did!), American Idol or no American Idol, I'd say he's on his way! =)

♥
I'm currently LSS-ing on Rihanna's song, Take a bow. It's like, Riri had me on her mind when she made this! LOL. I think I like it more than ela, ela, ela.

Don’t tell me you’re sorry 'cause you’re not,
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught,
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it’s over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh ohh.

And the award for the best liar goes to you (goes to you), For makin' me believe that you could be faithful to me,

Wahaha! Sapul, sapul!
At naka-bold talaga, diba! Lakas maka-bullseye nito!
I sooo freakin' loooove!!! =P

♥
Oh, and I'm loving Hell's Kitchen right now too! Chef is so evil, I love it!
I love how he makes the other wannabee chefs cry! I love how he just throws the food when he sees it's not too rare/cooked. Haha! I love the angst! =) Woohoo!

Hell's Kitchen.

2008-04-16T17:30:00.006-04:00

My last post was my 143rd! =)
Wow, 143... I love you!
Haha, isn't that just sweet? ♥

I just came back from Manhattan. I just feel so sad now. Haha. It's nothing major. Actually kababawan ko lang talaga kung ba't ako sad. Haha. Kasiiiiii... we went there to buy some last minute padala's for some of my relatives back home. So while looking for various items in different shops, edi siyempre ako nagtitingin tingin din for myself.
I saw a lot of things I wanted to buy... I liked a lot of stuff, lalo na puro sale na sila ngayon kasi pa-summer na, kaso naman I didn't have enough moolah to buy everything I wanted. Huhu.

Nakaka-frustrate kaya yun! Yung gustong-gusto mo na bilhin kaso wala ka namang mapangbili. Haha! May nabili parin naman ako, Aeropostale sunnies... kaso isa lang yun. Huhu. Haha. LOL! Ano ba yan naloloka na ata ako, huhu tapos haha, kamusta naman yun.

How I look like when I'm gutom. Bleckk!

He leaves on Friday. I will miss him! Huhu! =(
But he will be back on December.. so yey!

Other pictures to follow nalang, natatamad na ko eh.
Namiss ko tuloy mag babysit! Namiss ko magkaron ng money every Friday (sweldo day). Haha. Tapos half nung ni-sweldo ko ilalagay ko sa piggy bank. Waah.
Now tuloy yung piggy bank namin si Mommy nalang naglalagay, ubos narin yung mga nalagay kong pera nun dahil parin sa pagshopping-shopping ko. Haha. =P

At bigla ko din tuloy namiss si Michelle. Haha! Kahit makulit yun, love ko parin yun. Namiss ko yung pagsabi niya ng pekpek (one of the few tagalog words she knows-- and no, I wasn't the one who taught her that!). Haha! With an accent pa yun ah! Peyk-peyk. Kapag pala may accent medyo nababawasan yung bastos factor niya. LOL!

Ang ayos ng kwarto niya no? =)

Just two of our many happy moments. =)
I miss na talaga!!! =(

Okay, tama na, next time na talaga yung ibang mga pics.
Anyways, napaka stupid nitong post na to. Haha, ganun pala yun, pag sad ako tagalog ako magbalita. Haha! Ah ewan, hindi ko na alam pano tatapusin ang post ko, kaya ganito nalang bigla nalang mawawala...

(Woohoo, benta ba yung last line ko? Parokya ni Edgar, FTW yun!)
Byeeee!! =)

Socks are not stinky!

2008-04-15T16:07:00.007-04:00

I just found out that my phone can convert *(whatever) files and store e-books! =)
I'm soo happy!! ♥
I wonder what else this phone can do? Hmm.
I'm really soo smart you know. I mean, I've had this phone for more than a year already and yet I'm only discovering it's other functions now. Yay me, not. =P
(Note: *whatever 'cause I don't really know what they're called, sorry!)

I'm currently DL-ing Book 1 of The Series of Unfortunate Events.
I know they're ancient but I've never read them... Haha! I have seen the movie version though and I just fell in love with Violet's character.

I think I might stick to light reads for the moment.
I'd love to DL some of Paolo Coelho, J.D. Salinger and Dan Brown's work but I don't think I could concentrate on reading them since Anatomy takes up most of my time, especially now that it's Midterms week. I think I might also get an e-book of that Twilight series sometime soon since almost everyone in the Philippines keeps on talking about it. Haha. I just wanna know what all the buzz is about! =)

I'm soo soo looking forward to reading this tomorrow on the Subway! Haha! =)
I always get bored especially when I'm alone, and yeah, I know I can count on some good old music to entertain me but...
psssh, sometimes music ain't enough yo! Haha.

...Besides we all know iPods are soooooo last season,
e-books are the in thing nowadays.
LOL. =P

♥
Anyhoo, I just loved what I wore to school today.
It's actually my Mom's so I'm guessing it's vintage?
Haha! You can really get good finds whenever you snoop around Mommy's closet. =)

Ooh, time check: 4:44.
Make a wish! ♥

Stuff it, bird legs! =)

2008-04-14T15:08:00.006-04:00

I'm having such an uber productive day! ♥
(...and it's only 3pm! Snaps for me! Woohoo!) =D

I wasn't able to sleep well a while ago 'cause it got really cold at around midmorning, and our dumb heater didn't turn itself on. You see, our heat system here automatically switches itself open when the temperature drops below 40degF. So yeah, I was freezing my ass out and so I decided to just get up early.

I fixed breakfast for me and my Mom so we could eat together while watching the news-- Today (our favorite morning program!). I was thinking of making my ever-famous French toast, but apparently my Mom wanted to eat rice so I just made my 2nd ever-famous dish, scrambled eggs with sardines (Haha, trust me, they're gooohoood!!!).

Then I went to the laundromat to wash 3-weeks worth of laundry. Woohoo! I don't know why but I just have a fascination of doing the laundry on Mondays! I love laundry Mondays! Haha!!

Soap, powder, bleach, towels, fabric softener, dollars, change, pants, socks...

Whenever I go to laundromats, I always remember Nivea's song, Laundromat. It had been a favorite of mine long before it went mainstream. I always catch myself thinking about it's music video... Haha!
Wouldn't it just be totally hot to have flirtation moments with a Nick Cannon-ish kinda guy while doing laundry?
Oh, and check out their outfits from the video! Me likey!!! Hmm, maybe I'll try that sometime this summer. Haha!
Okay, what the hell, that was sooo random.

Anyways, after the laundry me and Friend watched a movie. We were supposed to see Prom Night but the cinema near our place didn't have it yet so we ended up just watching the Superhero Movie-- which totally sucked. BOO! =(

I'm tired of typing already! Haha!!
Let me just share (again) with you some of the pictures I edited while doing this-- Oh ha, multi tasker! =P Oh diba? Lakas maka- eye bags nung last two pictures! Haha!
Anyways, am I getting better?
I'd like to think so.
Haha! Kaya sige na, please, oo nalang kayo. =P Joke!!
(You can edit your pics too! Just go to www.taaz.com!)

So ayun, sige na I'm getting hungry na... We have pepper steak with onions and I think it's calling my name already. =P
Hmm, yumeeeh! =)

Lavlav♥

Signal to the JEEPNEY, pick me up! Take me to the place where, I grew up!

2008-04-13T18:23:00.009-04:00

I got tagged by Cams a few days ago and since I'm home-- alone and bored, I decided to do it! =) Wahaha.

But you know what, I really shouldn't be bored right now... I should be busy preparing for the Anatomy midterms we'll be having this week.
But yeah, you know me... procrastination girl.

Anyways, I think I might be back on blogger sooner than I expected! I miss blogging here so much! =)
I miss all the blogger friends I met (Yes, YOU who's reading this!) here!
Haha!! So yeah.. Fcuk Anatomy and hello blogger! =P

♥The Rules:

I. Each blogger starts with ten random random facts/habits about themselves.

II. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their then things and post these rules.

III. At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.

IV. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

ONE.

I'm really, really, REALLY looking forward for something this Friday. =)
Eeeh, just thinking about it gets me all giddy! Haha!!
I don't want to reveal it yet cause I'm afraid I might jinx it! But trust me, when it DOES happen, you'll be the first ones I'd share it with!

TWO.

I learned how to make French Toast by watching PBB's Teen Edition! Wahaha!! =)
OMGosh, I'm such a fan!
I'm really missing tagalog shows... you know it's really irritating to have to watch American shows all the time! It's a good thing YouChoob was invented!
I love you, YouChoob!!! =P

THREE.

I have been hooked on www.taaz.com for days now! (Your fault CINDSSS!!!) Haha! =P
I have always been sooo jealous of people who are really good with digital make-up edits and since poor little old me doesn't have an Adobe Photoshop installed on my computer, I was really happy when I read about this on Cindy's blog!
Woohoo!!
Check out my not-so-nice edits!

Pardon me, I'm still a noob! =P

FOUR.

(Check my title!)
I badly, badly, badly want to go back (home) to the Philippines already!
I'm sooo homesick! Huhu!!!
Okay.
I admit.
I don't want to stay there for good... I just want to visit, like for maybe a month or so.

I miss my friends! I miss my room! I miss my cousins! I miss the malls! I miss driving! I miss the pollution!!!
Wahaha!!!
And I wanna see Greenbelt 5! I wanna go to Embassy! I wanna swim at Boracay! I wanna eat isaws, dugos and kwek-kweks again. Waah!!!

Country roads, take me home. To the place I belong...
(LOL, Virgina yun eh!)

FIVE.

I miss being a child again!!! Waah!!!
While reading my soul sister, Scarlet's blog, I felt nostalgic after seeing his post about TV shows from our childhood years.
Haha, seriously!
You see, the only anime I ever watched in my whole life was... tentenenen..

Ghost Fighter!!!

Haha!!! I love, love, loveddd Vincent there!!
I loved the 100 porsyentong kapangyarihan ni Taguro! Bwahaha!!
I loved Eugene's Ray-gun(?) and I love, love, loveddd the pacifier-sucking kid, Jericho.

I was such a tibo back then!
I played with tex and all the street games you can imagine, with kids that lived 4 streets away from our house!
Haha!!
That's right, I used to "travel" (hey, 4 streets is long for an 8 year-old girl, itching to run around, okay!) just to play with kids from the other side of our "Village." Haha!!

(Kasi naman, all the other kids in my street were KJ's, and during that time, they were making our street into a main street na so all cars and public transportations were passing non-stop to and fro which made it unsafe for us younglings to play.)

SIX.

Although I'm missing my Bedo brothers and sisters, and my BSN2-8 friends, I'm happy I'm meeting and gaining new friends here.
Yay, me! =)

SEVEN.

I believe Blair Waldorf is trying to imitate me!
Bwahaha!!
Pano ba naman kasi, I saw on one of her pictures, her wearing a pair of shoes looking exactly like mine!
Gasp!
Poser, much?
Haha!! LOL!
You don't believe me?
Here's proof...

Oh, diba? Tsktsk, I hate her!! Haha!! =P

EIGHT.

If you don't catch me here, you can always find me in Multiply.
Let's be friends there!
Click THIS to view my account.

Oh, and you really can't see my full profile unless you add me because I've made some stuff there (the more personal ones) for contacts only. Okay, okay?

And please do follow me on Twitter too!
Click THIS.

NINE.

I'm such a boyband lover!!
Wahaha!! My first "celebrity" crush ever was Mark Feehily (from Westlife)-- which I recently found out was gay.

Forgive me for being so cheesy but back then I would write him fan mails and make fan fictions of him and me being together forever. ♥ Bwahaha!!

Diba? How can a 6th grader me resist that boy-next door charm? =P LOL!

TEN.

And finally,
I still haven't showered and it's already almost 9pm.
Stinky, me! =P

♥

Happy Jollibee! =)

2008-04-04T19:47:00.003-04:00

One sizzling update coming right up!
--After 2 days, that is. =S

Don't forget about me, mmkay??
I promise to post something over the weekends.
Explanations regarding my "absence" will be dealt with there. Haha!!
Blog visits will also be done on the weekends, on Saturday to be exact.

I miss you all, and I do hope you missed me too (kahit konti lang?)!
Hahaha!! See you soon! Mwa! =D

True love is the soul's recognition of it's counterpart in another.

2008-03-02T22:31:00.003-05:00

We run back to each other when it's convenient.
We know that in the end, we're meant for each other but not for right now.

So we play these games, and act like we're okay when one of us has someone else;
When in reality it tears us apart to know that we can never be happy with someone else.

It's just that slight hope that we will end up together that always keeps us running back for more.

366 Days a Year.

2008-02-29T23:39:00.003-05:00

Happy Leap Day everyone! ♥

I didn't want this day to end without me posting anything. Hello, this only happens once every 4 years! Haha! I hope that by 2012 I still get to post something here. Cool nun diba? =)

Okay, that's it! Proper update tomorrow! =P

P.S. Huhu, Atlantic City. =(

(I posted this on my Friendster bulletin board a few days ago with the title, "Missed my period." Ofcourse I didn't really miss my period.-- Infact I had it while I was answering this survey then.-- Bwahaha, info overload ba? Natawa lang ako kasi may mga nagmessage sakin nagtatanong kung buntis daw ba ako kasi nakita nila yung post ko. Wala lang, crazyyy!)

*Edited some answers: sa Friendster kasi naka private eh, friends ko lang talaga makakabasa. Eh pag dito public, baka mabasa (at sigurado akong babasahin) nung hindi dapat makabasa. Haha.

Kasi naman, I'm at my school's library right now (may Bio Seminar nga pala kami ngayon!) and I still have, hmm, roughly about an hour and a half before I have to leave for work. Magtatagalog ako ha kasi baka mabasa nung mga katabi, kalikod at kagilid ko tong sinusulat ko. Haha. Dapat naglulunch ako ngayon eh, kaso natamad nako kumain kasi nagbigay naman sila ng free breakfast kanina. Yum, bagel and cream cheese! Bwahaha. Pero sa totoo lang gutom na ko, nagtatago lang ako dito sa lib kasi ang kulit nung isa kong schoolmate. Classmate ko kasi siya last sem sa Psych101, eh tapos naging ka-table ko siya kanina. So parang unwritten rule na na dapat isabay/kasabay ko siya sa breaks namin kasi nga magkakilala kami diba? Eh ayoko siyang kasama kasi ang weird niya. Basta ewan, okay naman siya kaso ang weird nung mga topics na tinatanong niya sakin. Eh buntot siya ng buntot sakin. Kahapon pa siya eh! Buti nga kahapon sa ibang table ako kaya may iba nakong katabi kaya hindi siya nakalipat sa table namin. Eh kanina late ako dumating, eh yung mga late usually sa likod na umuupo. Eh per table 4 people and kasya, so isa nalang kulang sa table namin. Bigla ba namang dumating siya. Ayan tuloy naging ka-table ko siya. Hindi lang ka-table, katabi pa. Arg! Ewan ko ba, he's nice naman. Pero wala lang, irita lang ako sa mga tao ngayon. Haha. Kasi naman tama bang samahan ako pati sa restroom nung break? Kaya kanina ang ginawa ko, nagpretend akong naiwan ko yung cellphone ko sa CR, so kunwari ng panic-panican ako. Naglakad nako ng mabilis tapos sabi ko 'I'll see you later at the room" nalang. Wahaha. Edi hindi na siya nakahabol. Pero sayang hindi ko tuloy nakuha yung free lunch namin. Huhu. Oh well, at wala narin naman talaga akong balak bumalik sa afternoon session later kasi boring naman nung topics na dinidiscuss. Bahala na next week, hindi naman graded yung seminar ngayon tsaka naka sign nako sa attendance kaya okay na yun.

Anyways, sige ikikwento ko nalang yung nangyari sakin. Yun ngang stalker experience ko last week. Game? Haha.

So ayun nga, pauwi nako galing sa job ko. Ay hindi pala, actually pupunta muna akong Strawberry kasi ipapa exchange ko yung nabili kong top nung isang araw bago ako umuwi. Nasa bus stop na ko, ako lang mag-isa yung nagaantay tapos medyo madilim na. Yung bus stop na inaantayan ko, intersection yung kaharap niya. So ayun nga. May cab na nag busina sakin from across the street (Busina = Asking if gusto mo sumakay), so shinake ko yung head ko (meaning NO).

A few minutes after, may cab naman na pumara na sa harap ko tapos tinanong ulit ako kung gusto ko sumakay. Pero this time hindi na siya nagbusina, binaba na niya yung window niya sa passenger seat. Espanyol siya, kasi nung tinanong niya ko, may accent yung English niya. Remember yung bus stop kung nasan ako, nasa intersection, so kanina nandun siya sa kabilang lane, pero ngayon nandun na siya sa lane kung san papunta yung bus ko. Nun ko lang napag-connect na siya rin yung nagtanong sakin nung una. So ayun nga. Tinanong niya ko bakit daw hindi nalang ako mag-cab, wala daw ba akong pera? So ako naman naki-ride nalang. Sabi ko, oo wala nga akong pera, meron lang ako yung Metrocard (yun yung ginagamit dito pagsasakay ng bus or subway). Tapos tinanong niya ko kung ilang taon na ko. Kung 19 ba daw or 18? Dun ko na naisip na, ahh, iba na to, may ibang balak to. So hindi ko na siya sinagot. Tapos siguro nakita niyang asar nako, nagstop na siyang ngumisi. Tapos tinanong niya ko kung san daw ba ko pupunta. Sabi ko naman sa Steinway (yun yung name nung avenue kung san nandun yung store). Tapos sabi niya sige sakay nalang ako, libre na. Sabi ko, hindi, thank you nalang. Pero paulit ulit parin siya... Hangang may couple na palakad papunta samin, magaantay din ng bus. Medyo matanda na sila. Pagkadating nila nagdrive na ng dahan-dahan yung cab driver, akala ko paalis na siya pero hindi pala, tinigil niya yung kotse niya sa tapat ng isa sa mga restaurants malapit dun sa bus stop.

Wait, OMGosh, 1:30 na.. Kailangan ko na umalis! Haha!! Tutuloy ko nalang later or baka tomorrow, okie?? Sorry! =P

XOXO

QUICKIE.

(Multiply people, click here!)

Hey!! Noticed changes? Haha! Do you like, do you like? =)

I know I haven't been updating that much lately and I'm really sorry about that. I haven't even been visiting your blogs! Huhu. Bad, Nadine, bad! But it's just because of a lot of things (namely)-- work, household chores and ofcourse, social life. Wahaha! I'm really just enjoying my break 'cause Session 2's gonna start on the first week of March already.
So there.
Oh, and a few days ago I caught the coughs and the sniffles. Since Friday I've been getting high on Nyquil's and Vicks'. Woohoo. Not. And my throat is really sore and dry right now but I'm loving it 'cause it gave me thee "bedroom voice." Haha. Jokeee. But really, mee is not liking the weather right now ha! It's so erratic. One minute it's 40degF, the next it's negative; one minute it's very sunny, the next it's snowing and raining. Tsktsk. Now people, can you feel the Global Warming? Say Cheeseeee!! =P

So yeah, I better sleep now. I still need to get up early tomorrow and do the laundry, then go to work after (I know, CHILD LABORRRR!! LOL! Nah, it's all good!). Whopdee-doo.

Oh, and yeah. Maybe my next entry will be about the thing that happened to me last Wednesday. Soo freaky, really. *gets goosebumps* Joke lang! I didn't get goosebumps. It's not scary-"monster"-scary... It's scary-"stalker-maniac"-scary.
Hay, only in New York... Only in New York.

Byee!!
XOXO =D

Just a friend, Peter Parker?

2008-02-22T13:16:00.000-05:00

Now what the flying F is this?

Not wanting to sound like I think I'm all that, but I know some people Google my name and my blog ( I KNOW, I have a tracker!).
But this?
One word:--
Eww.
Arr!
P.S. How can you make yourself un-googable? Can you give me some tips?

Anyways, I think I wanna change my layy! I have a concept in mind already and I'm excited about it. Think Jawbreaker (actually one of my fave movies when I was younger). You likey, you likey? Heehee. Maybe sometime next week.

XOXO.

A Babysitters' Secret--

While waiting at the school's park.
Make that thee perfect time to make good use of your IPod!

I got sick of playing pretend Hannah Montana
so Poof!, I turned Michelle into a flower.

While doing homework, act as if you care.

But at the end of the day, you know she still loves you.
Proof A: When asked to write a sentence with the word "BEST" on it, she wrote--
"My baby-sitter is the best."

Proof B: Whenever you have to leave, she starts giving you kisses and tells her dad, "Why can't you come home at 6?", and then baby cries.

Aww. ♥

OMGosh LiLo!! What have you done? Haha!!

Although I gotta admit, I do love the shots. Hmm, but the freckles? Not really a fan. =P

♥

There’s this girl,
I know I see her everyday.--

She's miserable from head to toe;
She's not as happy as she says.
Outside she puts on a smile,
But she's crying inside.

All the while she pretends what they say doesn't bother her,
So she just laughs...
But her eyes are pouring out invisible tears.

She acts as though she loves life,
But really she feels like, "Why not? It's not like it would matter!"

I know this girl well!
I even know her thoughts.

She tries so hard to be perfect...
But at the end of the day,
She feels like she's not good enough...
Like life is sometimes too tough.--

This girl is part of me.
She’s always there.

Because I see her whenever I look in the mirror.

I still feel the butterflies whenever we have those "hang-up, no you hang-up first" moments.

2008-02-17T21:10:00.013-05:00

[Belated Happy V day everyone! =D]
Hello old friend, I'm back! =)

I have been itching to write here since last week but tamaditis got the better of me.

Anyhoo, I bet this is gonna be really short 'cause while writing this, I'm also on the phone talking to my friend. I know, I AM the multi-tasking Queen! =D

So yeah, update? Update?--

-ONE:
Now this came straight from the horse's (or Kitty Minky's!) mouth:

Writer's Strike, OVER! GG, Back in business!

Leighton (uyy, close!) and I just spent the entire afternoon watching Breakfast at Tiffany's over her place and that was where she told me the good news.

Wahaha. Don't mind the schizophrenic me.

-TWO:
Session 2 just ended! Woohoo! Spring Semester, here I come!
Gulp, Anatomy.. we meet again. =(

-THREE:
Joseph and I spent Vday night at Thee Madison Square Garden (LOL, Sorry first-timer! Haha!) with Thee Rob Thomas and his entourage. Haha! =P

And here are some videos. These are only snippets. If you wanna watch all of them, visit my YTube account HERE. =D

(OMGosh, I can never show my face to you guys again after you hear me singing along to them. My voice is definitely something only my mother could love. =P )

It's Alanis Morisette in the house, yo!!!

We didn't even know that she was gonna be there! There was this new band called Mude Math or Duth Math (I don't remember!) which played first. We thought they were front acting Matchbox so her presence was really unexpected.-- Plus, her name wasn't even on the promos so it was really a "double treat" for us. Haha! =D

Her last song. Ironic. =)

My gahd, I'm really sorry about my voice. I didn't know that the camera would pick up on it that loud. Arr!
(Never mind the captions in YTube, I'll edit those later!)
She was sooo good! The voice, man! And it was sooper funny 'cause she did her "My Humps" version. Haha!! Hilarious! Too bad I wasn't able to take a video of it.

AND for the MAIN COURSE...

I was doing the countdown 'cause they had this big timer at the stage (which you couldn't see because of the lights!)
AT ETO GRABE: "NADINE, HINDI SIYA HOW FAR WE'LL GO, HOW FAR WE'VE COME SIYAAA!!!" =P Nakakahiya! =P

We didn't even know it was his birthday! Aww, we got to celebrate it with him! =)

Their last song. Push. =)
Kawawa naman yung boses ko jan, naghihingalo na.

And whatever okay, I know that the videos are in very bad condition. But it's not my camera's fault okay! It's only because we were seated at the farthest end because all the good seats were already sold out. And it's cause they didn't have that big white screen. So there! Haha.Our section was the one on the left (the 2 orange sections together) at the topmost right.

And I can't believe it! I checked the Madison Garden's official website (HERE), and found out that the Spice Girls are gonna be performing there tomorrow. Oh noessss!!! =(

Anyways, that's it. My friend is kinda getting irritated with the sound of my clacking keyboard already. Haha! =P

P.S. Oh yeah, I got my hair cut. I was going for the Asian Mullet (CINDYYY!!! Hindi man lang nila tiningnan yung pic mo!! Huhu!) look but FORTUNATELY for me (SARCASTIC MODE: ON!), the Chinese stylist didn't understand a word I was saying. Oh well.

And these, my friend, are how you're eyes might look like when you spend the whole night crying yourself to sleep. Haha. Not.

P.P.S. President's Day tomorrow. HOLIDAYYY!! Woohoo!! SALEEEE!!! Woohoo!! Laptop, ITouch or IPhone, that is the question! Helpppp!! =)

P.P.P.S. It was soo effin cold this week that it snowed for 2 days. A blizzard even came the day before that!
And what do you do when it snows and it's really, really cold and the roads are slippery?
You let the kiddos play AND you JOIN THEM!
I really am a very good babysitter!!
Bwahaha!=)

After playtime...

Haha. Tiredddd.

Till Tuesday!
('Cause I'm very sure I wouldn't be able to make an entry tomorrow since my Mom's gonna be here!)

XOXO.

Strike 3, you're out!

2008-02-06T15:12:00.000-05:00

STRIKE TWO.

For Strike One, click HERE.

Instead of PHil., my part will now be played by BWal. =P

SBG: "Have you ever lived in a farm?"
Blaire: (confused look) "Huh, no. Why?"
SBG: "Cause you sure know how to raise cocks!"

Here's to us, LL!

2008-02-05T14:15:00.000-05:00

It has been exactly 365 days since we first got together and although I'm happy that until now, we still are... I'm sorry but I just have to say this...
I still miss him.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

But please. Just try to understand.

We have known each other since forever. He was literally with me when I was being "pushed"out of this world. We grew up together. We were there for each other.

For 20 years he has been my home, and although yes, I am madly in love with you, I will not deny the fact that if he asks me to get back together with him again, I would.

♥
Wooshoo.. Chikka lang yan! Haha! =D Pero oo, sine-celebrate namin ngayon ni Lady Liberty ang annibersaryo namin. Grabe, isang taon na kami!! Isang taon na ko dito!! Haha! =D

P.S. Pero hindi ka mawawala dito sa puso ko, Juan dela Cruz.
Poreber ka na dito... poreber, pramis! =D

P.P.S. After all the NY talk, you must, must, must check this video out.
I love, love!!!

Cool, huh? =D

Eventhough the gods are crazy, eventhough the stars are blind.

2008-02-04T13:39:00.000-05:00

I just realized that I had watched a lot of movies this past week.-- First there's P.S.I Love You, then Cloverfield.. then Untraceable.. and 27 Dresses.. and finally, Meet the Spartans-- which really sucked! And this week we're planning to watch some more.. How She Move, Over Her Dead Body, The Eye and Fool's Gold (Yey, Matthew and Kate!♥).

I can't believe I missed Atonement though! Too bad.

But I'm definitely waiting for Jumper! Woohoo! That hottie Hayden Christensen can walk in my sky anytime. Haha! =D

***

I am proud to announce that I'm officially done with my Paris Hilton phase! Haha! I'm over her!!! I don't even know why I idolized her in the first place anyways. Maybe it's because of her clothes.. or her love for the color pink.. But it's most definitely not because of her stupid dog.. or her sex video! Hmm.. I guess I just was young back then.. Yeah, young and stupid. Haha! She's not even pretty.. and she has horrendous knees!

And now she's ruining Elisha Cuthbert!

Why Elisha, why?? I've always liked you eversince your Girl Next Door days. Don't ruin your life!! Stop hanging out with the Queen of Herpes. Haha, jokee!! =D

Ugh! Fugly.

Anyways, I have my Blair-bear with me for the meantime.

Now, THAT'S HOT!

There's always going to be that one guy.. That no matter what happens between you two, no matter how long you go without talking, you never stop loving him. :X

The Nanny Diaries.

2008-02-03T11:43:00.000-05:00

A very freaky-looking ("TIYANAK"-like) mannequin.
(Because just so you know, eventhough I like KIDS, I've always been secretly afraid of BABIES. I think all infants are TIYANAKS (thanks to Shake, Rattle and Roll movies when I was younger!).

I MISSED BLOGGING!!! =D

I wasn't able to update because I got really busy with a lot of things! For those of you who still don't know, yes, I am now a baby-sitter! =D Haha! I have been "working" (NOTE: "Working" because all I need to do is help her do her homework... after that, we just watch TV, play computer/Wii/PS3/DS/"princess-princess" and eat. Man, that's the LIFEEE!!) for Michelle for 5 days now (for 3 hours a day-- 2:30 to 5:30 pm), and last Friday I got my very first pay! Haha! $150, babyyy!! I'm gonna use that and my pay next week to treat my Mom to the salon cause she's gonna be celebrating her (GASP!) 54th birthday! =P

***

Anyways, I got my facial done last Friday at Chinatown, ALONE. Yey, claps for me for quickly learning the twists and turns there! Man, I needed that break. They gave me free upper body massages and eyebrow tweezing. Painful? Yes! But don't you agree that with pain comes pleasure? Haha! Bastossss!! =D

***

Anyways, that's it for now. I still need to re-do my paper 'cause my professor said it lacks theory. Ugh. I hate!! Oh, and I'm really excited 'cause Mary and some of her friends are planning to come over here (they're from Philadelphia) on the 16th to watch Phantom of the Opera. Sana matuloy!!! Mary, pilitin mo silaaaaaa!! =D

"I am just the one he loves... not the one he's committed to."

Hush now baby, don't you cry.

2008-01-28T13:42:00.000-05:00

There will come a point in your life when you'll get tired of trying to fix everything and chasing everyone.

It's not giving up.

It's just a realization that you don't need all those you went after because what you need are those who stood by you even if you never needed them.

Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

2008-01-23T19:06:00.000-05:00

♥

Trick or treat, smell my feet. Give me something good to eat!

2008-01-21T19:47:00.000-05:00

(Me and my bloated face!)

Yesterday I was watching some movies online with my friend,-- yes, we're friends now!, Earl. Nyahaha! It was supposed to be Cloverfield but I didn't like it so I stopped it midway. Then he recommended Battle Royale... I've never heard of it before yesterday but it turns out it was pretty good! It's this Japanese flick wherein a class of high school students inside a school bus were kidnapped and taken into an abandoned island which later on turns out to be some kind of battleground. You could only get out of there when all of your other classmates are dead, so basically you're gonna have to kill for survival 'cause only 1 person gets to leave. It's a cool movie if you're like into gory stuff like me... So yeah, try to watch it! =) Then after Battle Royale, I watched 27 dresses... which was... soo effin' bad, it puts the B in Boring!!! Haha! =P

Anyways, since this blog is dedicated to all things silly and yummy... Yes, that is me after eating half a pint of my current addiction, Ben & Jerry's Phish Food Ice Cream! Arrr! Imagine?? Half a pint?? I was outside the bathroom that time 'cause I was trying to do a Blair Waldorf, which was to stick my finger down my throat... I was successful at doing that but nothing came out! Haha! I wonder why?? Maybe I'm not fit to be bulimic! Haha! =P

I've always had crazy food cravings which usually lasts for more or less one month. It's an addictive cycle wherein once im fixated on something, I eat it over and over AND over again until I get sick of it... Yes, over and over again, meaning everyday (or at least every other day!).
Here are some them:

Cheesy (the chips!) and chocnuts during recess and lunch when I was in high school. --(My BC babies can totally attest to this!)

Hershey's Cookies 'n cream chocobits, those pink and purple colored Nerds and "mixed" flavored fries when I was in Grade 4. --(which me and my busmates would buy and eat on the bus on the way home!)

Mango float --(also during high school!! Oh, how I miss CSA!!)

Taho!!! --(*and with a shy smile* "Manong, padami nung matamis, please!")

Food from Fiat and Lolo Claro's and the "bahay-kubo"-like-place right outside Nicasia when I was in LaSalle! --(Oh, I miss my BSN28!!)

YEMA!! --(Eman!! Red!! Migs- the poem!!! Haha!! =D )

Lays' cheddar and sour cream! --(my comfort food when I came here!)

Reese's peanut butter cups --(which only lasted for a week.. two at most!)

Salad from the school's caf. --(and from Seattle's!)

McD's friesss!!! --(This one never went away.. till now!!!)

and right now, it's the one I was telling you earlier (B&J's Phish Food Ice Cream), and just so you know, it's not "fish-food" flavored (YUCK!), it was named that way 'cause the chocolate bits inside were shaped like cute little fishies. =)

There are tons more I'm sure, but I just couldn't remember them already! =) A lot of my friends have scolded me (Karla!! Haha!!) for eating just for the sake of munching. I know, I'm a pig! Haha!! =D But what can I do, food makes my tummy happy!! =D

You know you love it too(food!),
XOXO

Promise that you’ll love me. Love me like you’ll never see me again.

THIS IS FOR YOU, HOTNESS! Haha! =D
( -And also cause I'm not in the mood to write anything! =P )

It's the voicemail Ben, the number-giver, left me a few hours after he gave me his number.
(Sorry I replayed it cause I thought the 1st recording didn't work!)

(Haha! It's NADINE, not "Neydeeen!!!")

Anyways, replying to the tags and comments tomorrow since we have no classes-- Martin Luther King Day.

K? Bye!! =D

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about. And she's got everything that I have to live without.

2008-01-18T17:37:00.000-05:00

I'm depressed! =(

It's finally confirmed!
Why writers, whyyyy???

Haha! =D Some guy gave me his number while I was walking at 6th Ave. yesterday. It was soo funny! I searched for him in Facebook and found his account! Haha!! =D Lookie, lookie (his pictures!)...

This maybe the most normal shot you can see of him! Because...
.

Wahaha!! WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE??? I think he might be a pornstar! Haha! Watchuthink??? =P

Too bad, if only I've met him when he was younger...

Sayang! Pero pwedeng pang puppy-love nun! Haha! =D (He's the one on the left.)

Anyways, I won't be calling him to "hang-out and stuff"(his words!). So, call him if you're interested.. duh, you already have his number! Haha! =P

Celebrities are really lucky they have their winter homes in 'freakin Dubai or some hidden island in God-knows-where during this kind of weather! I hate winter! I abso-effin-lutely hate it! =)

I hate it because--
- it makes my kulot, salot hair all frizzy!
- it makes me miss my Havaianas and shorts!
- the sun is only seen from 7-something to 4pm-ish! (I miss it!)
- it causes my skin dryness.. and my lips, chappyness(if ever there's a word?).
- it spells innerwear, sweaters, turtlenecks, tights, leg warmers, jeans, gloves, bonnets and jackets (YES, all at the same time!).
- it makes the hair on my legs grow faster(I don't even know why!).
- it takes forever, and I mean, FOREVER to get dressed even if you're just gonna go grab something at the deli!
- (this is funny!)-- a friend once told me it reminded her of Shakespeare's, "to be or not to be"-- but in this case it's "too pee or not to pee", since you have to go through this whole process of undressingANDredressing just to let it out! And yeah, it really is no laughing matter being stuck in a cubicle (with used tampons, boogers and whatnots!) with like a ton of clothing on.
- and don't even get me started with SNOW! Ughhhh!!

I hate it! I just hate it! Bwahaha!
Winter is evil I tell you, eviiiiiil!!!

This was during our 15-minute break. We weren't hungry so we didn't leave the room. I was sleepy and bored too, soooo...

Sinong may crush dito??? Haha!! Potpot, is dat youuuu??? =P
I like his laugh! It's really contagious! I hate his hands though! Parang pang construction worker! =P

This guy's story naman is, he has already taken our class (DevPsych) last Session (with the same prof!), pero he got an F from her so he needed to take it again. What I don't get is, why did he take it again with the same prof? What if she gives him an F again? Weird! Oh well...

Anyways, I need to do my paper now! Yesss, I know, another one!!!-- (Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko pa yun gagawin ngayon, sa Tuesday pa naman ipapasa eh..) Magbabasa lang ako ng GG!! Haha.. So, byeeeee!! =)

XOXO. =P

Nothing in this world can stop us tonight. I can do what she can do, so much better!

2008-01-15T13:08:00.000-05:00

Don't you just hate wannabe pimples?
Pimplets, that's what I call them!

Seryoso, what's their purpose ba in life?
Ugly, nasty little bumps!
I mean, really!
Hello, I wash my face 3x a day na nga eh, sometimes even 4 (in between classes!).
What more do you want from me, ha?!?
At isa pa pala, itong mga singaws!
Ugh!

Pimplets and singaws!!

Hindi talaga pwedeng hindi sila isa-isa lang kung tumubo eh, diba?
Motto kasi siguro nila talaga eh, "No man is an island!", kaya yan kung nasan yung isa nilang friend eh jumojoin din sila!

Aba, talaga naman, magaling, magaling, magaling!

XOXO

I can make you nice and naughty, be the devil and angel too.

2008-01-14T16:20:00.000-05:00

Shh.

I'm on a GG-high! Woohoo!! =D
OMGosh!! My wish came true!!! =D
Oh, you just don't know how happy I am right now!! Thank you, Mid-Manhattan Library!! =)

The one I bought at Atlantic City.

A week ago I went there(at the Lib, not at Atlantic City!) and made some requests. Then last Friday, someone from the Library called our house and told me that out of the 10 books I've requested, 3 were already ready for pick-up. I went to get them a while ago, but surprise, surprise... almost all the books I've requested were there already(only 1 was missing)! I really wasn't expecting all of them and geez, I only had my schoolbag with me so how the hell would I be able to get them all inside, right? It's a good thing I stopped by Express first to purchase the $15 giftcard they sent me(I don't even know why they sent me one, but hey, I'm not complaining!) so I had their plastic bag with me. By the way, this is what I bought

It kinda looks like a belt-bag, but it's really not. And eventhough it doesn't look that great in the picture, it's actually pretty cute when you see it for real! Bad, lighting, bad! =P

Pink, O-ye!! =D

And here are the books!!!

=D I'm soo happy, I could eat a horse! Yey, me! =D

And oh, I forgot.. While on the way going there, we passed by the Serendipity Cafe! It was actually my first time to see it! I was expecting it would be somewhat grand-looking or whatever, but it was really small and ordinary. I guess it's just the movie that made it famous. But, I still wanna eat there someday... Just to take some pictures and stuff...

*
Anyways, I got these from overheardinnewyork.com. "Gossip" there is just soo funny that I couldn't help myself from posting some of my faves here! =D

Black dude #1, eating ice cream: My priorities in life is my family... Ummm... Food... And, ummm... Pussy.
Black dude #2: Yeah, I love pussy!
Black dude #1: I know, man. Me, too. I'm addicted to it.
Black dude #2: I wish it tasted more like Häagen-Dazs.
Black dude #1: Word!

Bag lady: Don't you call me no grandma! That ain't right. I'm a 'nana,' not a 'grandma.'
Hobo: I ain't call you no grandma -- I called you a old lady.
Bag lady: Oh, okay. Yeah, that's right, 'cause I ain't no grandma!

Guy: Don't you get embarrassed carrying a Discman?
Girl with Discman: I don't get embarrassed... Except that one time I farted in high school. But it was only embarrassing because I sneezed and farted at the same time.
Guy: What?

Bus driver: No phones on the bus. I don't care if you got problems with your mother, or your brother, or girlfriend got a problem with boyfriend, or boyfriend got a problem with girlfriend, or girlfriend-girlfriend, or boyfriend-boyfriend, or just you got a sad, pathetic life, because other passengers do not like to hear those things. And if you sleep, leave your shoes on -- people take their shoes off, it smells like fish market.

50-ish lady on cell in stall: Hello? In the bathroom... I had to pee-pee, so I'm in the bathroom at Barney's... Yeah, so the doctor said she might have cancer and she'd have to get a biopsy... Hold on while I wipe.

Lady approaching friend and her child: Well, hello Sabrina! What are you going to ask from Santa Claus for Christmas?
Little girl: Look, lady -- I'm eight, not ignorant.

Chick #1: So, what happened with you and that guy from the bar last night?
Chick #2: Oh, him? We went back to my place and had sex.
Chick #1: Oooh... How was it?!
Chick #2: Eh, it wasn't the best. He wanted to do anal, and I was tired and drunk, so I was like, 'Whatever...'
Chick #1: Oh my god, really? I would never do anal...
Chick #2: Eh, I thought so, too, but turns out it's really not that bad. It's just like shitting... only in reverse.

Ookay.. So I was supposed to only copy-paste like 2 maybe.. 4 max! I got carried away, sorry! =P But aren't they just soo funny?? Haha, I give 'em 4 and a half stars.. and a muffin! Why a muffin? Well, why not? =)

Let's answer some questions this time! =D
Visit my VOX page (look for the link at the left side of this page!).
I can't believe that I've completely forgotten about this thing here-- my last update has been months ago, July 9 to be exact!
Sorry, Vox. =)

♥ Have you ever done anything out of pure spite? What did you do?

I don't think I've ever had!-- See what a lovely girl I am? =P

But I know SOME people who brushed someone's toothbrush inside the toilet bowl, peed inside his shampoo and toothpaste container (even on his perfume, I think?), infested his chips by putting random things in it, jumped all over his sheets (with their shoes on!), and used his pillows to kill a cockroach!
Haha, so dorm people... Be afraid, be very afraid... for you never know what your roommate(s) might be doing to your stuff because of pure hatred! Ahaha! =P

P.S.I'm not telling who, and if you quote me on this, I'm just gonna deny everything! =P

♥ If you could create your own National Holiday, what would it be and when?

It would be called the Nadine Day, and all A-list designers would be mandated to send me a pair of their newest shoes or their newest handbags! =P Calling Manolo Blahnik!!! Hello, Hermes!!! =D I know, materialistic me.. Ugh! Jokeeee!!!

*
♥ If you haven't noticed yet, the titles of the boxes (over at the left side!) has been after the titles of the Gossip Girl books!
La lang, just some useless information. =)

♥ EXACTLY one month till thee concert! Yey! =D

V-day at MadSquare!!!

2008-01-13T12:39:00.000-05:00

OhMyGosh!! =D
Guess who's gonna be at the Madison Square Garden, watching Matchbox 20, on Valentine's Day??

MEEEEEEE... =D

Joseph asked me to go with him! I actually have had those tickets for quite some time now-- (like a month or so?). He dropped over here (at our house) to give it to me, but I only got excited about it right now--(or more like, a while ago)!
Yey, concert!!! Haha! =D
I'm soo weird! =D

14th's gonna be the last day of my DevPsych class (last day of Session 2-- SPRING SEM, here I come!). And oh, the day after the concert (15th), I'm gonna be babysitting from 2-6pm so.. goodluck to me! =P

( Fugly-fake smile!! =P )

Anyways, as promised, here's the sleeveless hoodie I got from Roxy- (remember one of the giftcards I got for Christmas?).
It makes me super warm and the lining inside is just... too soft.. soo divine!
I ♥ Roxy!! =D

XOXO. =D

P.S. I still can't get over Xiaxue's blog!-- (xiaxue.blogspot.com) =P

P.P.S.--
"I'm scared of not being with you."
"Oh baby that'll never happen!!!..."

POOTEK, I WANT A BETSEY JOHNSON HANDBAG!!! =)

That's a secret I'll never tell.

2008-01-12T23:53:00.000-05:00

I can't sleep. Rar!!

My night light got busted and... oh well, I might as well admit it! Yes, I have a "problem" with sleeping without the lights turned on... I know, I'm old! =P But in all fairness to me, I too can sleep in the dark, given that I have someone beside or someone inside the room with me. But right now, I'm alone so.. tough luck!
"I'm sorry dilim, it's not you.. it's me!! Haha! =P

Hmm..

Oh, and I noticed that everytime I post something here, it shows up in my Multiply too! At first I didn't know why that was happening, but then I remembered that during that time I was having problems with Google, I enabled the cross-posting thingy there. So yea, if anyone is viewing this via my Multiply account, Hello to you!! =D
(Just visit my blog-- CLICK HERE -- so you could understand what I would be talking about in the next line.)

So anyways, since I can't go to thee dreamland, I decided to just change my lay. Well not exactly change CHANGE, cause as you can see, it still kinda looks like the old one.. I just tinkered with a few things. If the former lay was Gossip Girl-ish, this one naman(WHAT IS THE FREAKIN' ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THIS WORD??) is inspired by Sophie Kinsella's, Can You Keep a Secret?-- and yes, the "secrets" at the topmost part aren't mine (they were from Chapter 1 of the book!).

...

Haha. I just LOL-ed myself over here! =D While typing this, I was viewing this girls' blog-- xiaxue.blogspot.com-- have you heard of her? If not, then you're like me too! I just "discovered" her a while ago! Oh, and she has videos in YouTube too!

(Checks the videos out!)

Haha. OMGosh!!!
LMFAO! ROFL!!!
This is soo funny!! I love her accent!! I can't stop laughing!! This is soo crazy!! She is soo crazy!! =P
"But if I'm a flea, I wouldn't choose a sheep's like.. fur lah, it would be like way too thick!... I guess fleas don't really have opinions."
Panaloooo. OMG!! Winner!!! =D

Anyways, I'm gonna end this now cause I'm gonna go watch this girls' videos! Bwahaha! =D
Bye, bye! =D

P.S. I'll reply to the tags and comments tomorrow, okie?
Me loves youuu!! =)

P.P.S. I've been too used to getting hurt, but it still makes me cry at night and bleed inside.---
If everything was just designed to end up.. then who am I to let things happen the way I want?
People come and go. Love starts sweet, and ends bitter. The trust once strong, now has weakened. One day he's sweet, the next he'll turn into someone else. He told me he loves me, and then takes it back by showing me he can move on and be better without me...
--AND be a lot happier with someone else.

(Wala lang.)

Don't CRY because it's OVER. SMILE, because it HAPPENED.

2008-01-11T17:59:00.000-05:00

Sorry about the byline which you'll see later. It's just the frustrated writer inside of me typing! Lol! Anyhoo, here's my 3rd entry on the "What's inside your..." posts.

To view the first two, click here and here!!!

WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR GIFT BOX?
By: Nadine Kristel Arraiza

So, the festive season came and went... Were you happy with the gifts you got? Did you "recycle" some of them? Or were you at the nearest malls the day after to get them exchanged? Haha! =D

I sure wasn't expecting the gifts I got this past year... I even thought I wouldn't get any (well except maybe from my Mom, since all my other ninongs/ninangs/close friends are back home!). But yeah, thankfully, I did! =) I would really have loved showing ALL of them to you, it's just that some of them have already gone-- in my stomache(chocolates and cookies!), others are currently in the laundry basket and the rest I guess are just to personal to share. Heehee. I know it's kinda late posting Christmas-inspired entries but hey, shouldn't everyday be like Christmas Day? =P

Sidenote: This was taken at a photo booth inside the moviehouse the weekend before Christmas. We watched National Treasure: Book of Secrets. A movie wasn't really part of the plan. We were just supposed to eat at Pot's house for a Pre-Christmas party. It was just one of the spur-of-the-moment moments. Haha!

Skulls! Skulls! Skulls! Yey! Scarf, lipgloss and slippers from Claire's. (The top was from H&M though-- I bought it for myself!)

Shirts, shirts and more shirts! Those are just the three ones I still haven't used. They still even have their tags on them! The other shirts I got were, like I said, at the laundry basket already. I love getting clothes! They really are useful, especially for school! Haha! See, I have a rule... Not to wear the same outfit twice in one month. =D

I got a new school bag too. It really came handy cause my old bag's really big for me now since I'm only taking 1 subject this session. So there. (Notice that it's also brown.. it's just the smaller version of the one I have!)

Mom gave this to me. You know I've always wanted a Tokidoki one, right? But Mom checked and saw that Macy's and Lord&Taylor were out of them. Since I don't know any other store with a LeSportsac boutique, she opted to just buy this. She also got one for herself but hers is black. It's Guess' too so I guess it's a perfect replacement for TD.

This is one of the more personal ones. Haha! You're lucky I even showed you the box! Jokeee!! =D

I also got gift cards from Roxy, Lord&Taylor and Macy's. I'll show you the other clothes I got from them some other time. =D My Tito Ramon also gave me a D&G perfume. We also got an entertainment system (complete with speakers and subwoofers) from Tito Nilo. There were also the almost endless supply of chocolates, truffles, cakes and maybe all the sweets you can imagine from various people! But above all these, I guess the "gifts" I really enjoyed getting were the ones from my friends back home. They're not material things but they mean the most to me! All of their messages in Y!M, in Friendster and in Multiply really made my year! Special thanks to Eman and Migs for even calling! I was really touched, not to mention shocked because hey, long distance calls costs money y'know! =) I love them boys! =D

New Year? Jan 1st here is done way differently from the way we do it in the Phil. For one thing firecrackers aren't allowed here so it's really quiet-- well except maybe for the clappers and little trumpets the children have. We welcomed the year by just watching the dropping of the ball on TV and going to the 2nd and 6th floor to greet some friends. We didn't eat media noche anymore because earlier that night we ate out at my all-time fave Thai resto, My Thai. =D

P.S. Have you seen the trailer for Meet the Spartans? I think it's funny! Anyone agree with me? =D
P.P.S. I also wanna watch Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo! Will someone please upload them in YouTube already? =P

XOXO!

When he cries at night, and he doesn't think that I could hear him.

2008-01-09T12:59:00.000-05:00

I can't believe that a lot has already happened this week (and it's only Wednesday!). I think God has given me THE sign! Yey! I think Santa's gonna be droppin' my long overdue gift anytime this month-- It's okay Santa, better late than never! =D Oh well, here are some tidbits.. =P

*First day of Session 2 classes.

*4 new Filipino friends!-- 1 can understandANDspeak tagalog... while the others just can understand.

*MOVIE MARATHON TO THE EXTREMES!!(All of them in ONE day!)--
Beta House (BOO!),
The Number 23(YEY!),
I am Legend(NAY!),
Jenny&Juno(Korean film)(YEYYEY!!),
Shallow Hal(OK!), Enchanted(HMM!),
The Perfect Holiday(SoSo)
and
The Girl Next Door(the new one.. not the Elisha C. pornstar thingy!)(OMGosh!Winner!).

*Shopping, ofcourse!-- Maybe sometime this week I'll share the pics with you. I swear, one day I'll bombard you with pictures, it won't be funny! Bwahaha!! =D

Hmm.. Methinks.. The other ones are kinda personal already sooo... END.--
And there are still 4 more days remaining. I wonder what else would come up. =)

I'm also planning on changing my layy.. It's not because I'm tired of GG already, it's just that I wanted to do the new year, new lay thingy! LOL. But I don't know.. I don't have the "drive" yet. Haha! I'm gonna be updating my links though, AND my question box! See, I have a lot of time in my hands right now.. cause today, just this once, I'm finally free... from everything! =P

P.S. And that means you have to ask me again! Go, type something in the box now!!!! GO!

Anyways.. I also wanted to share my paper for my GenPsych class last Session with you guys. I really don't think it's THAT good since I only did it for less than a day. But considering that, I still got an A so whattheheck!
Here you goooo.. =D

NADINE KRISTEL C. ARRAIZA
December 5, 2007
Mr. Blake Eastman-- SSY101

Psychology Term Paper
(Topic: Eating Disorder- Anorexia)

21-year old Brazilian model, Ana Carolina Reston is only one of the thousands in the fashion industry who has suffered from the eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa. Sadly though, she was also part of the ones who died (November 14, 2006) because of having such sickness. Ana was only 40 kilos (or 88 pounds) and was diagnosed dehydrated the day she passed away. That time last year, she had been the second model who had succumbed to the disorder- 3 months before her, co-model, Luisel Ramos also died while doing a fashion show. Because of such events, the Madrid fashion community, along with other big-time designers, decided to ban severely underweight models in their future runways.

Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder which had been very rampant in females (particularly in teens) for the past years. Yes, there were also some males who have been diagnosed to have this, but they can only be seen in small percentages. Anorexia is essentially starving yourself- which can be done obviously by not eating food or in severe cases, not taking in liquids- including the one our body needs the most, water. It can basically be described as a “fear” of putting something in your mouth. Some physical symptoms of having this disorder includes: Significant weight loss, Depression, Change of Menstrual Cycle or complete absence of Menstruation (for females), Mild Anemia, Growth of Lanugo (baby-fine hair covering the body) and Having brittle nails and hair.

According to my research, doctors have yet to find the exact cause/s of Anorexia. Their main theory is that there are varieties of factors involved such as Genetics, Family Behavior and Culture. There are a lot of treatments available for Anorexia- from Medications to Nutrition Education, and even Family Counseling- But since almost all of those who suffer from this are in denial that they have such disorder, they refuse to be treated. Anorexia Nervosa is just one of the many eating disorders out there. Although it’s considered as one of the deadliest, there are still a lot of unhealthy practices that we are being exposed to right now. Some examples of the most common are Bulimia Nervosa (forced-purging which can lead to Anorexia when not stopped) and Binge-Eating (non-stop eating which causes Obesity or other cholesterol-related problems).

In my opinion, it just all boils down to this:

Acceptability in Society = Popularity and Money.

Popularity and Money = Celebrities and Models.

Celebrities and Models = Stick thin.

Stick thin = Anorexia.

It is our nature to want to belong. Whoever came up with the saying, “No man is an island” knows what he’s talking about. Human beings generally have tendencies- We crave the feeling of being wanted, being known by the masses, being important, being SOMEONE. Media and Society play very big roles in why we think we need to conform to this. Have you ever noticed the famous paintings during the Renaissance & Medieval Eras or the sculptures that were made in the Ancient and Classical Periods? How different do the models then look compared with the models we have now? It was because a long time ago, being big was what was socially accepted. Voluptuousness meant that you were part of the wealthy ones because you had money to buy food and stuff. This is also what is happening right now. Ashley & Mary Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie, Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan are just some of the many well known celebrities that are talked about right now. We always see them on television and in print-ads. The younger ones look up to them for fashion and style. But what do they all have in common? You decide! Modern media sends us this message. We were fed with the message that being thin is what is attractive to the eye. That having the stick figure is what you need to be “in.” Picture this- A young (14-year old) girl, standing 5feet-4inches is medically considered healthy if she weighs 110pounds (average weight per height). But because of what sees on T.V. or maybe because suddenly some kid at school picks on her for being “healthy”, she comes to believe that she has to drop down to just 90pounds. So then she starts to skip meals, a little at a time- depriving her body of the nutrients it needs for her to grow and develop normally. She gets thinner and thinner, but she still believes she’s fat. Eventually, her body rejects anything she takes by mouth. She becomes very undernourished and she now needs to be admitted in the hospital or if worse comes to worst, in a funeral home. Sad, but then that’s reality. That is what’s really happening right now.

The thought of wanting to be like someone or wanting to be a part of something glamorous isn’t bad at all. It, in some way, in fact gives us a euphoric-kind-of-special feeling. Who wouldn’t want to be well-known, right? Who wouldn’t want to have their pictures taken in exchange for large sums of money? All of us dreams of that kind of life. What makes it not good though is if we still continue to follow something that we know is not right to begin with. It’s if we still patronize the kind of attitude when we know for real that it’s going to be harmful for us in the long run. Being a fan of someone famous or some celebrity, like Lindsay Lohan for example, is normal. But why don’t we, instead of following her negative traits (like her being Anorexic before), focus more on the positive things she had offered- her powerful singing voice or her flair for acting. As I’ve said earlier, Media and Society do play a great role on how we perceive things. They are correlated with how we choose to live our lives. But, it does not mean that they are the main causers of why some of us are thin, average or fat. In the end it’s still up to us to decide on whether who or what to follow. Now who would you want to be? Pin-figured Olive Oil, Spinach-eating Popeye, or Glutton-man Brutus?

Whatchathink?

XOXO!

WHY CAN'T I HAVE A KOREAN BOYFRIEND?

2008-01-07T18:21:00.001-05:00

Ugh! But before that, let me just say.. This is my first entry everrrr for 2008!
Fwakamollyyy, hiatus!! =P

Mmkay! A few days ago Cindy, my dandaa( maganda!=D ) friend, wrote something on her blog about Koreans. I admit! I'm guilty of being a "wannorean"--Naks, Cindy! Ikaw nagpauso nito!-- too! =) I absolutely love everything Korean-esque. From their Han-Bok(?)-- the national costume down to their own version of Hollywood, "Koreywood"-- (I know, I made that one up!).

I have always liked watching their movies and soaps AND have always enjoyed listening/singing along to their songs which I can't really understand/pronounce properly. (Refer to THIS entry!). Just last night I spent almost half the day watching/searching for K flicks. Also, sometime last month I spent one whole day watching Full House(my most fav!)-- Yes, the whole season!From the very start down to the credits!-- which took about 18 hours to finish!-- including bathroom and kitchen breaks! Haha! =)

So yeah. (Going back to the title.) I've always wondered what it felt like to date someone K-- or even be close friends with one! We had a foreigner's class at CSA before, and yeah I've had some K acquaintances during the 7th grade--(I was in Section B, and the foreigner's class was Sec.A). I mean, cause obviously I've had my fair share of Pinoys! And I guess I already have some knowledge with Americans and Espanols since I've been around them for pretty much almost a year now. But Koreans? (I Love You, KEVJUMBA!) Never.

I guess you've noticed that I haven't been updating "well" that much. Part of the reason is cause I have been nursing a broken heart. No, scratch that. I'm STILL nursing that said heart. I guess what I really just want now is closure-- from him. Yes, him! Too bad Santa didn't give me my Christmas wish. I guess I hadn't really been a good girl last year. Umm, but okay enough of that... Arg, I don't know anymore! Hmm...

What I'm trying to say is I hope I could find my very own "Justin"... He who would teach me how to ride a bike, who'll make me chicken porridge whenever I'm sick and who would choose me over all the "Lorraine's" in the world. I would also love to have a "Juno" whom which would wake up in the wee hours of the morning just to get me my octopus craving or marry me in our school gym.

Fukc! Anlabo nito!

***
Anyways, sorry about that disgusting post!
Just some quick updates..
Our computer has been reformatted..
School has started yet again..
Newfound friends..
I forgot the other things already.. =P

I'm gonna visit your blogs tomorrow, okie? I'll be out of school by 12 so I'll have time. =) Thanks so much for all the tags! But for now..

XOXO

P.S. Just wanted to share these.
Just venting out...

From JANNA (midnightcinderella.blogspot.com)--
Why did it have to end like this? This year was supposed to be happy and the thing we had was supposed to be the cherry on top. Duh? I'm so stupid. After posting an entry about being okay and talking through things with my mum, here I am hurting and trying to get over it once again. I guess the healing process will take more than two days. Give me till next week, I promise I'll end this loser streak. I'll be the old sane me. He just lost someone so sweet and caring. So HAHA to you mister. I don't even know if he felt the same way. I guess not. Torment me now please. Anyway, it's DAY ONE of moving on. Yesterday was the fake DAY ONE because after I wrote that blog below this, I went back to being the stare-at-the-ceiling gal ready-to-stay-in-bed-for-the-rest-of-the-week. He is effin up. I mean it. Ack.

Screw you Disney for making me believe in happy endings. No, I take that back. I love fairy tales.

From Reckless, An It Girl Novel (Cecily Von Ziegesar)--
It really kind of sucked to be close for someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.

From Jessie (Full House)--
Sabi nila pag mahal mo ang isang tao, inaalagaan mo ito. Kaya sige, alagaan mo na siya. Wag kang mag-alala.. aalagaan naman kita eh.

HAPPY 2008!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Enjoy!!! XOXOXO

Santa can you hear me?

2007-12-21T17:27:00.000-05:00

Hey guys!
♥

This is just gonna be a quick one 'cause I'm at my Mom's office right now. I couldn't update at home because as I've told you in my Cbox, something is wrong with our computer-- it won't open Blogger. =( Fudgeeeeeee!!!

So yeah, I didn't come all the way here just to make an entry. I'm here because I just came from Macy's and Lord&Taylor-- ofcourse for my dose of Christmas shopping!! Haha! =D

I wasn't able to buy the things I wanted though cause they were soo expensive-- THAT sucked! So, I just took a picture of them! Haha! I'm just gonna wait till next season's sale comes.

I really wanted this one! It was from FreePeople but it was worth $128 so.. good riddance! =(

I just loved this one too but again, it was beyond my budget! =(

So, I just settled for this jacket. I'm not too happy with it but atleast I got something! =P

And here's my Christmas bow! =) Very Blair Waldorf-ish, don't you think? Heehee! =D

Okay, that's it we need to go! =D I hope our computer gets fixed soon so I could greet you guys during the holidays! =)

Oh, one more thing.. I got an A in my Math for Medical Dosage!!! Woohoo!! But just a B in Psychology.. Arg, Blakeyyyyy whyyyyyy!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO everyone! =D

Stop and stare, I think I'm moving but I go nowhere.

2007-12-17T11:29:00.000-05:00

EDITED...=)

They say that when you care for someone, it means you love them-- right?
So go ahead, take care of her.

Don't worry, I'll be taking care of you.

♥-broken.
Sorry for posting emo-ish entries lately.
I'm just sad.

Mmkay, I'm happy now! =D

If your wondering, I'm actually here at school right now. I'm gonna be paying my tuition fee later and I'm just waiting for some friends to arrive so I just stayed her at the lib.

I'm only gonna be having 1 subject this Session-- Developmental Psychology. Session 2 only lasts for 6 weeks so it is not advisable to take more than 5 credits. I'm also gonna be doing work starting January. Yep, yep, cause guess what-- WHAT? I'm a baby-sitter now! Ahaha! Yey! Money, money! =D

Anyways, agree with me on this one. People who aren't really your friends shouldn't be adding you in Friendster, right? I just opened one of my old accounts and saw that someone with the screen name "Ignacio" wanted to add me. I don't really know any Ignacio's from back home, and I most certainly haven't met someone named Ignacio here. So then I check his profile. But lo and behold, it's for private viewing only. What shocked me though was the message in his shoutout-- the URL of his blog. So okay.. Ignacio. Geez, what an idiotic "codename."

So here's one for you, Ignacio. Yes, I know you still do visit my page! Isn't it enough for you that I accepted you in Imeem? What's the purpose of adding me in Friendster too? Are you trying to copy what your SYOTA did to me? Our world is indeed small-- you have mentioned that to me once. But why do you keep on making it smaller? If you want to be left alone, then leave ME alone as well. What's the purpose of adding me? Now who's being AMBISYOSO?

Mmkay, word vomit. I need to stop now. Haha! It's almost Christmas and I don't want to stress myself with these useless issues! Rarr!

Stop hatin' ,spread the lovin'!

Okay, need to go.. They're calling me already!

XOXO! =D

I love you... and I loved you the only way I knew how to.

2007-12-12T23:33:00.001-05:00

I'm sorry for what I said. My actions were a result of my hurt. I know you're not coming back so I won't even ask... =)

***

I still think about you.

I still dream about you.

I still want you and need you by my side.

I'm still mad about you.

All I ever wanted was you.

You're still the one...

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

2007-12-09T20:53:00.000-05:00

Yes, I'm into posting random pictures right now. =)

COUNTDOWN: 16 days!!!
Aren't you excited? I am!!! =D

♥
Hey, what's new with you guys?
Me? Well, nothing much! Same old, same old! =)
Nothing that "bloggable."

I'm watching Holiday in Handcuffs right now... it's being aired in ABC Family. I'm just watching it because I'm bored... and because my then fave childstar, Melissa Joan Hart-- (remember the girl in Clarissa explains it all and Sabrina the teenage witch)-- is in it.
...
...
...
Oookay, now I'm really bored.
Haha, sorry.. Not in the mood to write!

Talk to you soon! =)
XOXO

I'm on your back. If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you.

2007-12-04T15:22:00.000-05:00

Hey there Frosty! We meet again!!

2007-12-02T12:39:00.000-05:00

*Jumps up and down while singing, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."

YAHOO! YEHEY! YAHERR! YEEHAH! YEY! YEA! =P
Snow is here, snow is here!!!

I like, know for sure that over the next few days I'm gonna be cursing the weather 'cause the temperature's gonna get lower and lower AND LOWERRR... but for the time being, I'm still loving the euphoric feeling snow gives me.

I love, love, love, love it! =)

What I also love are these yummies...
My Ninang Aggie and my kinakapatid, Joseph just got back from Hawaii. These were just some of their pasalubongs for us. I just had to take their pictures now 'cause I'm sure after a few days, all of them are "magically" gonna vanish! Getssss??? Haha!! =D

OhMyGee!! This must be how Heaven smells like!! ♥

Speaking of love... Don't you just love my new lay? Obviously, it was inspired by my current addiction, Gossip Girl.

It also "features" some of my favorite women in the world (a.k.a. MY IDOLS! Haha!♥) like Elisha Cuthbert, Cassie Steele, Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf in the GG TV series) and ofcourse, P.Hil! Haha!! =D

Screencap. Watch the full episode HERE.

Have you seen the latest ep (and I think last episode-- this season) of Degrassi?
Well, I have AND I absolutely LOVED IT!!! TO THE ENTH LEVEL!!!

Why? Because it deals with Filipino traditions.. OUR TRADITIONS!!

Remember when I told you I found out that not only does Cassie Steele play a Half-Filipina but is also one in real life? Well, they made a whole episode about that and the Filipino Community!

In here, Manny (Cassie) has her DEBUT-- which they pronounce as "Deyboo".. Haha! =P
They also had some tagalog thingies put in their lines like "Lola", "Joseph, kala ko tapos na to!", "Halo-Halo" and some more things I don't remember anymore.

Cool, eh? =)

Don’t matter if I step on the scene, or sneak away to the Philippines.

2007-11-29T12:41:00.000-05:00

Do you know what I did yesterday?

We got this for $4!
I also got a Cherry-Vanilla lipbalm from Bath and Bodyworks for only 75cents, but I'll just show you the picture some other time. =)

Our school had a mini bazaar. While we were looking around, Pot and I were drawn to this stall that sells cosmetics and perfumes for really cheap prices. Almost all their stuff were branded! I wanted to buy a lot! Makeup removers, bronzers, moisturizers and even an aftershave to give to my friend but I didn't have enough moolah!! Arg arg!! Haha!! =D

I don't know if what I bought was (branded) though... Or even if it had a "name" because this was my first time to see that brand (Princessa), but I really liked it because it has everything I needed! Plus it came in a cute container so I guess it's fine with me, "named" or not!

*I checked it while doing this (over the internet, ofcourse!), and saw that the one I purchased originally costs $28 something. So it must be somewhat good, right? Ayy, whatever! Haha!

Nadine, Smirnoff, Alfred, Jose Cuervo and Pot.

Last night, Alfred and Alex had their "despedida"-- they were going back to Virginia. The invite came in such short notice... As in 30minutes-before-they-came-to-get-us short!!!! Haha!! It's a good thing my Mom allowed me to go, being that it was a school night.

I promised to not make kwento about the things that happened last night 'cause someone might use my blog as evidence because we think someone's spying on someone. Haha. Promise! Sorry, inside joke! =D

Lookie, lookie!!

Pirates of the Caribbean inspired M&M's! Aren't they cute? What's "cute-er" is that if you could only see them closely, you'll find out that some of the pieces, instead of them having the little M&M logos, they have little pictures of skulls, ships, treasures and binoculars instead. Cool, eh? =D

It's also the first time I saw an M&M that was in white chocolate so I immediately bought it! Haha! =D The white choco kinda tastes like Kitkat white. So yeah, it's good, but it's toooo sweet!

♥
XOXO

Me with You, setting in a honeymoon. If I woke up next to you, if I woke up next to you.

2007-11-27T16:16:00.000-05:00

EDITED~~~
RANDOM RAMBLINGS, MUCH?
♥

Some of my fave episodes! (Just 'cause I love Will&Grace and Amanda!)♥
I know they're old, but I just love them! =D

I love, love, love, love Ellen Degeneres' show!!! She's so full of confidence and she's super super funny! I always end up laughing when watching her-- I even laughed in that episode where she cried about the adopted dog-- I know, that's so mean of me! Sorryyyyy!! But what can I do, I just find her really hilarious! =D

On the week that was.
Wednesday.

Pictures first, chika later. Sorry, busy! Heehee. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The first one was taken at my school's bathroom, while the next ones were taken at the Subway on the way to the Pre-Thanksgiving house party we went to at Upper West Manhattan (near Central Park)! =D
Fun, fun! =D

And just 'cause he's soo hot... Here's a Paparazzi-esque shot of my Psych teacher! =D
Haha! I took this right before we had our quiz (which I didn't even know we were having that day-- but I still got a B.. So, not bad!!).

Thursday.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! GOBBLE, GOBBLE! ♥

Sweetness!! Look at what my friend gave me for Thanksgiving! Homemade Fudge by Fudgie Wudgie-- which tastes so good, I could die! Haha!! ♥ ♥

Here's our 11-pound turkey! Sooo yummy!! =D

We watched the parade of the balloons at Central Park on television (which by the way I know sounds really childish but is actually not 'cause it's sponsored by Macy's, and it's kind of like their tradition here!), then had a "mini-thanksgiving-dinner-with-salad,wine,karekare,flounder-celebration-fiesta" at our place with some of Mom's friends. =P

It's actually my first time to celebrate Thanksgiving! It was also my first time to eat a turkey THAT big, 'cause yeah I've eaten turkey before-- but just in a sandwich!! Haha! =D

Friday.

They call the day after Thanksgiving here "Black Friday."
It's the day when almost all the shops/malls here open at midnight and have their "HUGE-EST" sale of the year. It's just sad for me 'cause I didn't have any money to spend so I just stayed at home... bored and jealous! =(
ARG! Haha! I sooo want a job!

Saturday.

We went at this Fil-Am bar, Taste of Asia.

Newfound friends:
Kayumanggi Band-- Maky, Lester, Edward & Arnel,
Our tagasundo at tagahatid-- Alfred and Alex,
YB people outside-- Rusty and Jeric.

Roadtrip,
Redhorse (Yes, they do have RH here!),
Heineken,
Chicharon Flower! Haha! =D,
Old Skool Ruffa Gutierrez and Gloria Romero TFC Movies! Haha!,
Empanada,
KPG!,
Getting home at 6 in the morning-- and not getting caught!
♥

Sunday.

My head was really hurting because of no sleep but I still had to go at Jack's all the way in Manhattan 'cause my Mom wanted to buy some stuff for our bathroom.

I didn't want to take the Subway going home so I took the bus instead. While sitting there-- ALONE-- I know, Loser! Haha!! I felt like Serena Van Der Woodsen on one of the scenes here.

I know, I know.. Hers is on a train! But it's the same looking-outside-the-window-looking-at-the-sights-feel. =D

I also got to watch ONE MORE CHANCE!
Pootek!! Mahal ko na talaga si John Lloyd!! Haha!! And as expected, naiyak na naman ako! Haha!!!
I hated the ending though! Mas gusto ko kung hindi nalang sila nagkabalikan ulit! Hindi palaging "Happily Ever After" ang ending pag sa totoong buhay no! Sa fairytales lang nangyayari yun! Haha!!! =P
Thank God for pirate people!!
And thank God for www.pinoychannel.tv!!

Just 'cause skulls are pretty! =P

Bye!
XOXO.

And I hate how much I love you boy, I can't stand how much I need you.

2007-11-20T20:47:00.000-05:00

Last weekend I was in Atlantic City for 3 days/2 nights.
It was sooo much fun! =D
It was my first time there.. Actually, I've experienced a lot of "firsts" there. First time staying at a Suite AT the Trump Plaza,
First time entering, playing AND winning in casino
and like I said, first time seeing Atlantic City.

I was just disappointed that I wasn't able to take a lot of photos 'cause my batt died out on me! =( Arg!!! But it's okay 'cause I was able to take lots of videos naman.

So, here they are...

Outfit of the Day. From H&M! Heehee. ♥
Fall is the season for tights, warmers and boots! I love it! =D

Now with the TrenchCoat. =D

On the way to Atlantic (Friday night)--
me and Pot at the bus. =D

Where we stayed. =D
Trump Plaza, yo! =P

Our room!
The suite is actually really big-- and I mean, REALLY!
It has 2 bathrooms, a living room, and 1 KingKingKing sized bed (Lol, it's not just King-sized 'cause it's soo big! Haha).
Our room also has a very nice view of the beach (Atlantic Ocean) which I'll show you later. =D

At the 2nd bathroom. Soo Posh! =P
♥ Mi luvs eet!!!! =D

Ooh, take a look at my socks.. Heehee. Hello Kitty love! =D

Here's our window view of the beach.
We weren't able to swim too 'cause the water is freezing!
Pot told me that during the Summer, you can barely see the sand because of all the people.
But as you can see now, there are no people-- 'cause of the cold.
Too bad. =(

Okay, this was also the night we won the $240!! Heehee. But since picture taking weren't allowed inside the casino, we weren't able to take a photo of our lucky Slot Machine! =(

Pot and I split the moolah.. 100 bucks for her and the 140 for me. =P
And then we used it for shopping at the outlet stores! Woohoo!! =P

THE NEXT DAY...
Strolling at Boardwalk...

I forgot the name of this building, but it was part of the Bally Hotel.

Sights!! Sorry for my voice!! =P

Me being weird! Sorry!!! =P

Resorts and Taj Mahal! =D

Once again, our hotel. Sorry I was crossing the street that time so the camera was dangling in my hand. Haha! =P

And lastly,

Our elevator A.K.A. "Roller Coaster" ride.
There were guys with us inside and one said, "Wanna take my picture?" at the beginning of the video. Haha! Can you here it? Then after I said, "No.", he said, "Why? Am I a loser?", or something to that effect. Listen closely, you can here it! =D

After shopping ( maybe one of these days I'll show you the things we bought with the money ), we played once again at the casino-- but sadly, we lost our 5-dollar bet! Haha! =(

After that we just stayed at our room, ate Sbarro's pizza and salad AND drank Bailey's Caramel while watching Enough, Titanic ( feel na feel namin yung Atlantic setting nung movie!! Haha! ) and A Walk to Remember.

This was our last night. =)

Sunday...

We ate Funnel Cakes (UBER YUMMY!!!!) with hotdogs along the boardwalk and shopped a little more. Then we took the 3:30 bus going back home, and arrived at NY at about 7pm. Tired but happy=)

Some more pics...

Heaven, grabe!!!
Chocolates and Cheese's are my most favorite things in the world! Haha! =P

Before leaving the hotel. Aww, bye! =(

BEAR!!! ♥

Home Sweet home. =)

Pot has more pics in her camera. I'll share some more when she uploads them already, ok? =)

Ooh, this Thursday is gonna be my first Thanksgiving! I'm really looking forward to it! Yey, turkey! =D Haha!!

Bye guys! =D
XOXO

I WON $240 AT THE SLOT MACHINE!!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!! =D

2007-11-18T21:29:00.000-05:00

I just got home and I'm dead tired! =P

Will update tomorrow!

And yes, the highlight of my weekend was winning the 240 bucks at the Slot Machine! =P

Nice one!! Beginner's Luck, eh!
Woohoo!!!!!=D

SOMEBODY OWNS YOUR HEART, IT CAN NEVER BE MINE.

2007-11-15T22:01:00.000-05:00

Monday was super fun! Movie-marathoning to the maxx!!! Haha!! =P

First we watched 30 Days of Night-- Badooy!!! I didn't even flinch a little! Mas kadiri parin Hills Have Eyes 1 and Saw!!

Next was No Reservations, then Sidney White, and then The Prestige, then Freddy Got Fingered (OMG, Old school-- Laughtrip!=P ), and then lastly, Goodluck Chuck.

Wow, 6 movies eh? Beat that! Haha! =D

♥

Then last Tuesday, we went at Manhattan.

Laundry,
Jack's,
McDonalds' study 'Psychology' date (heehee!),
Steve & Barry's = Bitten Skinny Jeans,
Modern day serenading. ("aww!")
I ♥ it!
(Pictures soon, I promise!)

♥

Yesterday.
Big news people! =D
I'm going to Atlantic City on Friday! Woohoo!!
Sorry, I'm just so excited 'cause it's my first time! Lol! =P
Trump Hotel, baby..
Here I come! =P

♥

XOXO

HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU?

2007-11-14T15:34:00.000-05:00

Walking at 6th Ave, Manhattan...

Yesterday.
Guy pulls girl towards the sidewalk, just beside the stoplight post.
Gets hold of the girls' left hand.
Silently places it near his heart.
Sweetly serenades her in front of all the people waiting for the red to turn green.
Girls' heart is happy.
Contented.
♥

Now that I've tasted chocolate, I'm never going back!

2007-11-11T22:17:00.000-05:00

The N: Media Player: Cassie Steele at Your Ultimate Degrassi Party
CLICK!CLICK! To see the pic! (Sorry, I don't know why but I couldn't upload pics!)

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!!
Cassie Steele isn't just Half-Filipina in the character she plays at Degrassi (Manny Santos)-- She's Half-Filipina in real life too!!
I love it, I love it, I love it!! =)

She also has been the first choice for the role of Gabriela Montez (Vanessa Hudgens' character in HSM), but unfortunately she couldn't do it 'cause she still had to do shoots for Degrassi's upcoming new season then. Tsk, too bad! =(

So basically, that's all I did this day. Watched re-runs of my all time favey show, Degrassi!
Couch Potato-ing really is my best talent! =P

Guess who's gonna have a breakfast date with the chocolate man this Tuesday? =)
♥! =P

Throw it away, forget yesterday. We'll make the great escape.

WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR WALLET?

By: Nadine Kristel C. Arraiza

Here's my 2nd installment on the "What's inside your..." entries. Heehee! To view the first one (it's about my schoolbag), click THIS.

Show and tell starts... Now... =)

My wallet. =) I call her Fifi. Heehee.. =D Well, she has been with me for almost 3 years now. My Mom gave her to me the last time I came to visit her here for Christmas. Fifi is sooo old and dirty now so I'm thinking of, *gulp, replacing her already (Sorry Fifi, I just have to do it! =C ). And so before I finally let go of her, I'm making her this "special tribute" first... Hehe! =P

Here are Fifi's internal organs! Haha =) Things inside my wallet! Haha!! =D (Spot-an ang picture ni Romeboy!! Haha!! He gave that to me during my despedida, remembrance eh!=P)

My Cards. =) The golden yellow one is my Queens Library Card-- for all the libraries here at Queens. The blue and red card is my New York Library Card-- it's for the big Library located at Manhattan (it's soo nice there)! Then there are my Insurance Cards (the 2 white ones), my School I.D and my Credit Card. And oh, look, I still have my Privilege Card from Asian Hospital (the white one with green thingies!) =) Yey! =P

My New York State I.D. and my Republika ng Pilipinas Driver's License. Heehee! I miss driving! =( Wala kaming kotse dito eh! Huhu, commute forever lang ako dito! Haha! =P
(If you're wondering why both the pictures look alike, it's because I just placed it over the original pics. I don't wanna show the original ones 'cause they're FUGLY! Haha!) =P

Our Family Tree. This is just the small version of it 'cause the really big version of it is placed on our living room wall back home. =) Spot me!! =P

The pictures behind the plastic thingy. The first one's with me and my BFF forever--ChooChooPuffVow--Crinkles--Baluga--Ex(Wushu!)-- EMAN. =P It was taken during our first "date" --when we watched The Da Vinci Code ( May 20, 2006 yo!) at ATC. Hindi pa kami mashadong close nyan! Haha! =P Weirdie!! =P
The second one's with me, my cousin and my tita! =)

LASTLY,

This one's our Lucky Charm! The Condom (kasi daw pag may meron ka nito sa wallet, hindi ka daw mauubusan ng pera-- sabi nila, ewan ko lang kung totoo). Haha! Back during College Sophomore Year, me and my friends made this like a "symbol" of our barkada. Haha! So all of us have this. Same brand, same size! Haha! =) EMAN, PASIMUNO!!!! =P
(Cute nung Monkey no? I love monkeys!)

So that's basically it! Say bye-bye now, Fifi! =)
(Ooh, check out my new key holder! Cute, eh! Bear!!!)

Okay, bye for now! Off to school already! =)
XOXO =D

The plans I make still have you in them, cause you come swimming into view.

2007-11-07T15:19:00.000-05:00

My friend did it again! =) He made me feel the butterflies again. =)
Out of all the SMS's he sent, this was the one that made me smile (he sent it this morning). =D

I don't know why, but I get so kilig everytime he does his impersonation of Joey (from Friends). =)

"2 months na ata---"

Yes, I am Single. =D
(Subject to change without prior notice!)

But that doesn't mean I'm not inlove.

And that most certainly doesn't mean I'm alone. Na-uh!

I am currently "in a relationship" with God, with my friends and with myself.

And that's more than enough for me..
for now. =)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! =)
Hands down --Best Halloween, Ever!!!

When I was still in the Philippines, we would always "celebrate" the Halloween season by going to the cemetery to visit my Dad. Although yeah, it was fun sleeping there with all the other people visiting their loved ones... and yeah, it was also fun playing hide&seek and exchanging ghost stories with my cousins --Still, I wanted to experience wearing scary costumes and knocking on peoples' doors to ask for treats.

So basically this was my first time to experience such. No, I didn't wear any costumes.. and no, I didn't go "trick or treating" (maybe next year-- No. --Definitely next year!) but I still got to see how things were really like during Halloween. Heehee. And THAT made my year! Seriously! =) It was soo much fun seeing all those little cute kids! I love it! =)

So anyways, we welcomed November 1st at Baryo --Pot had a "surprise" birthday party. FUNFUN! =D Pictures to follow --if I get them from Mark. Here's what happened--

WATCH IT.

OMG. Punyeta. Bullseye eh.

"Mahal na mahal kita, kahit ang sakit sakit na."
"She loved me at my worst. You had me at my best, and you chose to break my heart."

I love you, JL! Hayayay.
I'm gonna die.

I'm laughing 'cause no one, knows the joke is on me.

2007-10-27T21:19:00.000-04:00

I so want to write about a lot of fun things...

My Moms' SouthPark addiction.
My A grade in my Psych Midterm.
My love for the movie, Rainman.
My boytoy seatmate in Psych.
My shopping for fall clothes.
The new friend I met on the Subway.
---and so so so much more.

But I can't. I really, really can't. I'm just super sad. I'm just super down. The only thing that keeps me happy right now is PBBCE2, seriously.

Fwakamolly. I hate it! So effin' emo.
I'm not usually like this but this thing is really hard for me.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I don't even wanna pretend anymore. I'm sick and tired of it. I don't wanna be the smiling-faced Nadine anymore. I'm sick and tired of it too. Why even be happy-happy when deep inside you're really hurting? It's no different from an actor playing a part that he's not. No different from putting on a show everyday, just to please people. I hate it. I'm so messed up right now.

***
I've taken the ring off my finger already.
I've stopped waiting for the mailman to come already.
But I still can't take you off my heart, and I still can't stop waiting for your love to come back.

HE WASN'T MAN ENOUGH FOR ME.

2007-10-23T15:12:00.001-04:00

The Bitch didn't have enough balls to save his life. Haha. =D

Can't update today, will post tomorrow! =D

I still have to do some household chores AND study for my Psych long test! I haven't even started on either of the two.
Argh!
Mind you, I have 5 Chapters to study, that's over 300 pages to cover and a gazillion notes to review. AND the test is tomorrow na!

O hell, cramming, why do you always hunt me! Well, good luck to me. =P

Byeeeee!!=D

It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose.

2007-10-21T15:57:00.000-04:00

*Bleep-bleep*

This is just gonna be soo very "short-version(ed)" 'cause I'm afraid that if I go into details, I'd fill up my whole blog page. Teehee. =)

Random, just the way I like it.

♥

This is just the best week, Ever!

Love, Foot-injury, Sweet, Bitter, Hate, Betrayal, Lies, Drama, Bitching, Fashion, Beauty, Hot, Drugs, Party and Indians all rolled into one.
Hmm.
You think you know, but you have no idea. =)

MONDAY--
The start of the week rocked, you know!
A surprise call from the Philippines --now an EXperson (you'll get to know why in a bit), AND a visit from a friend --Pot, really made my day. Pot and I ate Domino's (delivered, yo!) and from this point on, Mondays are now our "Phone Day!" =D

***See, I wasn't feeling very well that day (actually, I wasn't feeling so good the week before pa!), because I sprained my right foot and I couldn't walk like a normal person. Haha! Oh you should have seen my walk. It looked weird, very weird! I looked like an old person. But I'm okay now and thank God I can walk like a normal person again --even without the ankle brace. =D

My sad foot.

TUESDAY--
Was a bit boring. I was still stuck at home. Bedridden. Just ate Ben and Jerry's YUMMY Half-Baked Ice Cream. ♥

What sucked though was some beeyotch person sent me PM's. I hate her! I hate her so so so much.
(I wanna put a picture of a screencap of her messages here, but then I opted not to 'cause I don't wanna spill everything out naman. This is still being viewed by the public, so wag nalang. It's too personal and it would be better if it would be left between me and her, AND the other person involed nalang.)

WEDNESDAY--
Drama was more juicy than an episode of Gossip Girl. I found out THINGS that I wasn't supposed to know. Things which were kept hidden from me.

Hmm..

That's what you call a, "HULI KA BALBON!" moment. Swear! Thanks to that stranger! Whoever you are, you just did the right thing.
Tsktsk.
Soo disappointing, soo frustrating.
No details nalang.

THURSDAY--
Highlight of the day were the calls!! Arg! OhmyOhmy!! The effin' non-stop calls from the EXPerson. Tsktsk. (Dude, I don't need your explanations anymore 'yknow!)

My FSM classes were canceled so I just ate lunch with Pot.--
Chika chika.
Subway tripping.
Library fun.
Dinner with Mom and Tita Aggie at Ihawan --Filipino resto.

Summary= Hate. Fun. Yum. Sleep.

Look what I got!! Chic Lit/Fashion books! I LOVEEEE!!

FRIDAY--
Was quick! Our MAT classes were cut-short because right after the test, we were dismissed immediately. (45 minute speed test, yo! I hope I do well though! Haha!)
Pot and Karen stayed here.
Ate lunch.
Chika.
Phonecall.
Computer.
TV.
Spiderman.
Sleep. (Sinong natulog, Mommy??Ü)
Fun Fun! ♥ ♥ I really love my girls!

Psychology was weird. I think some of my classmates are users. Yes, drug users. All they talk about are Shrooms, Poppy-Seeds, MJ's, Coc, Heroine, Crack, and the list goes on and on.. I don't get them. I don't even know some of those! What the hell are Poppy-Seeds? Can someone please teach them to me? Just for experience? =D
No, just kidding!

***OMG! I heard about the Glorietta bombing!!
Why oh why?
Of all places naman, bakit G4 pa!!
Glorietta is like my second home-- okay no, make that 3rd home because my 2nd home is CSA. But still.... I love G4! I have a lot of memories there! HMPH!!! Damn those people who did it! May your souls rot in hell.
Let's just pray for those who died. Tsktsk. It's just so disappointing that innocent lives were wasted again. Hayayayay.

SATURDAY--
Indian Party VS Perlas' Gig with Pot.

I was supposed to go to Perlas ng Silanganan because some of Pots' friends had a gig. We were supposed to meet up at 9:30pm cause I thought the Indian party of my Mom's officemate had ended by that time. I was wrong pala. A typical Indian party lasts till midnight pala! With all their Punjabi dancing and 3-course meal eating.
Hayayay!
My stomach got really upset after eating all of the spicy food! Goodness!
It was fun though! New experience atleast!
Bailey's overflow! YUM!
Cell # getting person! LOL! =)
Funfun! =D

I missed my Indian friend from back home tuloy! HI VINAY!!! (If ever you get to read this, I remembered you when I was with your kababayans! Haha!)

SUNDAY--
Is PinoyBigBrother Celebrity Edition2 Addiction Day!
THANYOU, YOUTUBE!!!! =D

OMG, I LOVE MARIEL AND HER MARIEL-isms!!! =D
"I can't believe this! I knew it! I'm gonna die!"
"I don't have clothes eh!"
"I'm seriously having a nervous breakdown.."
"Praning, much!"

Mariel is so kikay, so OA, so arte! I love her!! She's so cute!! Only she can act that way and get away with it looking cute. I love her!! I love her talaga!!!

Mariel, let's be best friends! Let's shop together and exchange clothes and keep saying, "Kamusta naman yun!" all the time! It wouldn't hurt too if you introduce me to Zanjoe!! Haha! =D

Ay, I LOVE IT!!! =D

(P.S. The Riza girl is hot no? Diba, diba? I think I like her too!
Riza, you'll be my sidekick ok! Haha!)

Okay enough of that blonde moment! After PBB, I started watching KevJumba's videos naman. He's a funny, funny guy! And I love that he's Asian! Yey! Hooray to our race! =D

Last One:
I'm gonna be answering the questions right after I post this so you better ask me new ones ok, ok, ok??? =D
Click THIS after, hmm, about 15 minutes? I guess I'll be done by then. =)

Okay, randomness ends here!
I have to-- NEED to study already!
Buh-bye! ♥

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU.

2007-10-18T20:56:00.002-04:00

If you were made to choose, which would you rather pick?
Which would you prefer?

A. Finding out something which you know would greatly upset you.
B. Not knowing about that thing and end up looking like a total piece of shit fool?

Well, I don't know about you but I'd rather get the B.

"Same on you if you fool me once, but shame on me if you fool me twice."
Tsk tsk.
"Wala talagang lihim na hindi mabubunyag."

Whatevs.

SADDEST STORY, EVER!!! READ, READ, READ!!! =(

"Tell my mom and dad that I lied...and it's all my fault..." Jenny cried

--flashback--

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found. For once in her life that was on the right side of town. She unpacked her things with such great ease. As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze. How wonderful it was to have her own room. School would be starting, she would have friends over soon. There will be sleep-overs, and parties. She was so happy. It's just the way she wanted her life to be.

On the first day of school, everything went great. She made new friends and even got a date! She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be, because I just got a date with the star of the team!" To be known in this school you had to have a clout, and dating this guy would sure help her out. There was only one problem stopping her fate. Her parents had said she was too young to date. "Well I just won't tell them the entire truth.

They won't know the difference. What's there to lose?"

Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night. Her parents frowned but said, "All right."

Excited, she got ready for the big event. But as she rushed around like she had no sense, she began to feel guilty about all the lies, but what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride? Well the pizza was good, and the party was great, and the moonlight ride would have to wait, for Jeff was half drunk by this time.

But he kissed her and said that he was just fine. Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a puff. Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff. Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point, but only after he'd smoked another joint.

They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride, not thinking that he was too drunk to drive. They finally made it to the point at last, and Jeff started trying to make a pass. A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all (and by a pass, I don't mean playing football.) "Perhaps my parents were right. Maybe I am too young. Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb?" With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away, "Please take me home, I don't want to stay."

Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas. In a matter of seconds they were going too fast. As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew that her life was in danger. She begged and pleaded for him to slow down, but he just got faster as they neared the town. "Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied. I really went out for a moonlight ride."

Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash. "Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!" She doesn't remember the force of impact. Just that everything all of a sudden went black. She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble, and heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!" Voices she heard, a few words at best. But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.

Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right, and if the people in the other car was alive. She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad. "You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad." These voices echoed inside her head, as they gently told her that Jeff was dead. They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do. But it looks as if we'll lose you too." "But the people in the other car?" Jenny cried. "We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done. I only wanted to have just one night of fun." "Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim, and wish I could return their families to them." "Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied, and that it's my fault so many have died. Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"

The nurse just stood there. She never agreed. But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes. And a few moments later Jenny died. A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best to bid that girl her one last request?" She looked at the man with eyes so sad.

"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."

*boo-hoo =(

♥

AMAZING!
Check this one out you guys! It really is Uh-Mazing! =D

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty Cool…and Unbelievable….

At Microsoft, the whole Team couldn't answer why this happened!

TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

I tried it!! Confirmed!! It really doesn't create a CON folder!! Uh-Mazinggggg!! =D

MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Is it just a really weird bug? ?

Correct again!!! Uh-Mazing!!!!! =D

MAGIC #3

Microsoft crazy facts...

This is something pretty cool and neat…and unbelievable…

At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…

Open Microsoft Word

and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER

Then see the magic…

This one's just weird! But Uh-Mazing, nonetheless!! =D

♥

Pokemon's Raichu and Clefairy made my week! =D
YOU, gets mo? Haha! Mmm Mmm.. =D

"Earlichu, I choose youuuuuu!"

Kiss, kiss!

PARIS: "Um, no.."

SBG: "Well then, you must be part of the 90%!!!!"

PARIS: "laughs awkwardly" (thinks:"Tangina baboy! Pero infairness nakakatawa ah!")

Act1, Scene2: ACTION!
SBG= "You have nice legs!"

Mamma Mia, here I go again!
Last Friday, we celebrated Tito Nilo's birthday! We ate at Bubba Gump (OMG! I LOVE YOU, SHRIMPS!!!) and watched the Mamma Mia Musical.

Here's NY in all it's lights and glory! Sorry my cam ran out of batt so that was all I could record!

This naman was the glass I got from Bubba! It's so cool kasi it has lights under it! I just wish the battery doesn't die out on me cause I'm still enjoying myself while drinking on it! Kahit na masakit na sa mata dahil sa lakas ng ilaw, sige parin! Haha! I swear, I'm such a kid at heart! =)

The other one is the Playbill from the Musical. Why Mamma Mia? It's because all the songs in the play were from Abba.

Can you believe that after 4 days, I'm still on an Abba high? Haha! I still can't get over their songs! I am inlove with it! I sing them everywhere! In the showers, in the kitchen, while taking a poop.. Haha.. Joke lang! Hell, I'm even humming Chiquitita now while typing this!

Parang Hairspray lang eh! I remember having LSS's to You Can't Stop the Beat and Good Morning Baltimore! =)

Oh how I love HAPPY Musicals! =) (Cause I hate the "serious" ones like Miss Saigon and The Fiddler on the Roof--- I swear, when my Mom and I watched those, 10 minutes into the scenes and I was snoring already! Haha. Joke, exag naman yung snoring.. snoozing lang. =)

♥

A View From the Top.
What in the world is happening here? A while ago, while I was looking outside the window, I saw this..
Haha! What are those men in uniforms doing riding horses? Shouldn't they roam around the city using their patrol cars? Weird much! =)

And so I took a pic of this too..
Our window view. The 7th train. The station kasi is like 2 streets away from our apartment. You can just imagine the noise the subway makes especially during the evenings when everything is quiet already. Nung bago palang ako dito, hindi ako makatulog dahil sa ingay na yun, but now, nasanay narin. =) Besides, it's not that bad din naman... when we close the windows, you can barely here it narin. =) I guess hindi lang ako sanay noon kaya ganun.

♥

Gotta go..
Still need to "Study, Study, Study" (and yes, I'm quoting my DLSU-HSC Dean there)! =)

I remember the boy, but I can't remember the feeling anymore.

2007-09-25T16:15:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday, stranger!
You know who you are.

mmmm.. gets mo na yun =)

Aylaveetttt!! Kickboxing and Bellydancing classes yesterday, PLUS, heart to heart talks with Pot! Hehe.. I love you, Potpot!!=D

Something's Gotta Give

2007-09-23T13:11:00.000-04:00

We didn't have classes last Thursday because there was something going on in our school. I went to the gym with Marge. We attended some classes.. I forgot the name of the first one but we used these exercise balls. It was soo fun! That was my first time to use those. The next class was Salsa, which was fun-ner. =P Haha! I love it! We were there for almost 3 hours! Now you know why my muscles were sore! It was because of that.

I'm looking forward to this coming Monday because the classes are gonna be Yoga and Belly Dancing. I bet they're gonna be cool! ♥

So after the gym, I went to Marge's house to get the Psychology book I borrowed from her. It was a good thing that she had the exact book I needed for my Psych class 'coz I didn't wanna spend $120+ for that one book! I'd rather use the money for shopping, no! =D Haha. We ate lunch (Chinese food delivered), watched Norbit-- (funny!), and played with Almira and Ivory (dogs-I don't know their breed, sorry!).

World, meet Ivory! Isn't she a darling! Soooo cute!!
=D I wasn't able to take Almira's pic because I'm scared of her. She didn't wanna come near me AND she kept on barking at me.. She looks just like Ivory though, but she's black.

I wanna have a dog too!! =) I'm gonna get one and name her Tinkerbell. Yes, just like Paris'! Haha. =D

FudgeDarnIt, you know what else happened? I got my period that afternoon! I didn't know that it was my time of the month already so I wasn't ready! When I became "aware" that I had it, it was too late cause blood was all over my undies already (Eeep, sorry, too much info na ba? Hehe) . It was so nice of Marge to lend, I mean give me one of her undies! I said give cause I wouldn't wanna return it to her again! I'll just buy her a new one in exchange. Haha. It was soo embarrassing, really!!!! But well, what could I do? It's not like I could fight Mother Nature, right! So there. Effing period!

***

Friday was fun! I had 2 classes that day AND a 5-hour break(interval) in between. It was okay though because the break was fun! I ate lunch with Pot and Karen.

BTW, they're my classmates in my first class--MAT:Math Medical Dosage. Our teacher is Indian (I think!). At first I had a hard time understanding what he was saying because he kept on speaking softly AND I wasn't familiar with his accent. But towards the end, I got the hang of it.
The class was okay. My seatmate was really annoying though! Feeling gwapo! He kept on shouting the answers when our prof asked us to compute for something! Geez, some of us weren't even done with our solutions yet! How rude was that! Hello, sige na, matalino ka na!

My second class--Psychology101 was the bomb! And can I just say, my teacher, Mr. Blake Eastman, is da*n HOTTTTT!!!! I looked for his profile in Facebook and I found it! Haha. Stalker much? I didn't add him though, that would be retarded! But, look at him! That pic doesn't do him justice! He's soo much yummier in person! =D He's a great teacher too! But what I really love is he's only 4 years older than I am. Someone asked him how old he was but he didn't wanna say his exact age. He told us he was younger than 25 though so... Pwede naaaaa!!=D Haha! Ayayayay! I love it!! =D

Oh, so going back.. I had lunch with Pot and Karen at our caf. We saw Kim and Nercida there too and they sat with us. FUN! =D After eating we stayed at the "garden", the garden's where students can smoke (it's still inside the school).. No, I'm not a smoker now (Pot is!), we just stayed there because it was too cold inside! Going to the garden turned out to be a great idea afterall because apparently, that's the place where most of our Filipino schoolmates went to. We met some new "potential" friends there. Hehe. Yoko, Adrian, Emil Carlos(the guy I met during orientation), Shimmy and there was another guy--I forgot his name though cause he was the only one who wasn't a Filipino. I saw Chel there too! Chel is my cousin, btw, but she didn't stay that long because she only had a 10-minute break.

The nicest one was Adrian because when Pot and Karen had to go to their next class (I only had them as classmates for 1 subject), he stayed with me. He also went with us when I had to go to the other building for my Psych class. Bait. =)

I'm really loving school right now!!! It keeps my mind (and heart) off USELESS things (AND PEOPLE). I love it, love it, love it! =D

Kisses everywhere!*

P.S. It's the first day of Fall today!=D
