trip out of boredom.
for about two weeks i'll be out of lipa to spend Christmas in manila!!! (makati, to be exact) so it means, another hibernation period for my blog and all; but of course, i promise to update after i got back and even if they say that "a person's travel is the most boring story to hear", i am glad to share it with you...
i just started shopa 3 : shopa ties the knot and it was utterly amazing!!! plus, it really helps brighten up my mood. i mean, after days of reading the series, i just realized its therapeutic power as if it brings you to a socialite's world with bliss defined as--shopping and being famous. and another thing, it also helps improve my speaking and writing skills since i am beginning to learn a few new words... i also adore luke's proposal! and if i were to choose between Becky's Mum or Elinor's wedding plan.....i would go for Elinor, even if she's a nightmare of an in-law! oh god. how i wish i also have that fairytale wedding....................
which reminds me, a few months from now would be our prom, and i don't have anything to wear yet! well, it's our last and i really hope it'd be the best!
well, gotta go now our the bus will leave me............
oh by the way..
i think i am beginning to like the dubbed Princess Hours. and i am glad that alot of people are enjoying it! plus, the fact that there were so many commercials played in-between episodes prove that it is in-demand even at its first two days of showing!!! haha! my campaign was successful! i can see myself as the next top producer and then, i shall produce more films where i can also act as the director, or play a minor role, or a major one (why not?!). then, ill be interviewed on teevee, people will fuss about my works, i will achieve best screenplay, best actor, best actress, best film awards and all... and.......
obviously, the shopaholic fever got me.

closed doors. open windows.
closed. this day closed the chapter of "confessions of a shopaholic 2 : shopaholic takes manhattan" for me. i have just finished it and actually, it inspired me not to be a shopaholic but to update my blog so often and perhaps patronize what they call as the "chick lit". it was nice. so super cute. and most of the time i cried whenever becky blames herself for all the misfortunes she brought to luke. but the ending was oh so adorable! it was the type of bliss any shopaholic would feel after buying piles of clothes for sale on Fifth Avenue, or for local patronage, on Greenhills. to sum it all, it was worth every penny! (in our case, peso)
opened. this day opened the episode of Princess Hours. oh God! i was waiting for it for it seemed like ages. (although it's just a matter of months) i was so super excited and the first time i did after waking up, was not to brush my teeth, but to text my friends that today will be its first showing on Philippine television! (i mean, i even stopped the dribble from "dribbling out" of my mouth..you know the disgusting story...) anyway, i was always non-stop! after uploading my new pix on friendster, i captioned each after the bliss i feel for the most awaited Princess Hours! oh here goes.... to cut to the chase, i was ever so glad to watch it! but at first, i hate the panoramic view, black as in SOLID black stripe on top and botom of the screen. i mean, what is that?! and the unnecessary music scoring, as if it was taken from Sandwich's album or something, "sandwiched" between the ultimate heart-jumping episodes and scenes of Princess Hours. hello?! plus, the so-so dubbing for Chaegyoung..err..Janelle (as they call her) which makes her a little on the "palengkera" side than the sweet and gentle and pure innocent voice she has... oh well! here i am totally non-stop again. plus the fact................
bolted. i looked at myself. really good. and then it struck me. hey! i am better off alone than holding on to stupid hopes of something from "mr. kumag" or much more from "marijuana boy". i just realized what joyce said, "you're too fast to fall, too slow to move on." then i say to myself after that, "why not try to move on, because obviously, they had." last time, jonathan texted me with these words: "ei antonette. jonathan to. msta?". okay. don't panic. i was frantic for a moment. then it struck me again. why bother replying if before i have tried to move on from him and even swore to forget hime totally?! ayt?! and much to my surprise, i didn't reply! oh god! i am so super duper proud of myself! as for patrick, so what if he (probably) deleted his friendster account?! i don't care if i don't see him anymore. anyway, he's just history already...
so from now on, i have bolted
vacant. i really have nothing to do lately so most of the time, i am vacant. but in fairness, i arranged my room and it was alot, make that far lot viable and appropriate for living. hehe... i really want to go to manila na so i can shop for clothes and stuff which can occupy my empty closet. (which has been currently occupied by my xmas clothes which only means that it is not that empty and that i am just.......you know the story.)
and best of all, i can't wait to open my eyes to the world of the dolphins!!!

obsession impulses.
oh yes. i am truly obsessed for Princess Hours!!!
and on december 18...
it is time for the Philippines to be taken over by the ultimate. as in ultimate. fever!!!
i really don't know what princess.Hours made me addicted to it so so much! at any day, any hour, any minute, once the topic is brought up, i can't stop myself from blabbering about it. it was a always nonstop conversation. everyday, the teevee is always turned on channel 2, and there i was, waiting for the tiniest chance that it's commercial shall be played on. worse, i kept on surfing the net for any korean phrase i could use to talk with my fellow princess.Hours fans! worse than worse, i am in terrible search for someone just like xin! and unfortunately, the standards he has set don't seem to exist. (hopeless romanticism)
and as addition to my xmas wishlist, i wish..i wish that princess.Hours will be a total hit here in the Philippines! actually, i have made a campaign at class to watch it! hahaha.......
never in my life had i been so excited!
probably, i may hibernate for a few weeks to totally celebrate Christmas... and that's all and farewell, at the moment (hopefully!)

Looking for the perfect love?
watch princess.Hours on Channel 2! weekdays, after Maging Sino Ka Man
surely, you'll love it!
beware of obsession symptoms and hopeless romantic syndromes.

watching other people's backs
farewell. i have watched as other people turn their backs on me. believe me it felt no good, but i learned "accepting" it.
farewell to my dearest friends. no man can be an island, for the moment. but sometimes, it is absolutely an inevitable to be an island, to stand alone to watch them as they take another route, as they leave me. i was happy for them. but the sad truth sank in. forever was not true in friendship. someday, we'll leave each other, look at each others backs, reminisce the past and hopefully, come back..at the definite time fate allowed.
farewell to my cousin. i was so happy spending even the littlest time with them. and i am really looking forward to seeing them again. but only time could tell when.
farewell to my "object of addiction". i was depressed as the DVD was snatched from me (although, i approved of it!) for several weeks, it had been the dream that i was living, the hope that i was breathing for, the love i am looking forward to having. i love and i am a guilty addict of Princess Hours and i admit, i really can't help myself but put myself to sleep by watching it nightly, everyday. i don't care if other people will laugh at me. but i really can't help myself. i think i need professional help to take me away from this addiction! (^^,)..V and now that i can see it on television, i can't stop myself from waiting for it in every commercial break. i can't bear to swtich to other channels for the fear of missing a single advrtisement about it. oh crap! i am super addicted.
i realized i am "in love with the thought of being in love". in love at the thought that in this fate, i can have someone like him, someone so perfect, someone...my ideal someone. in love at the thought that in this fate, i can have him at any time, that i must be prepared, that i must be vigilant. observant. keen.
but of course, i have a different fate. i am no caijing. i really can't have anyone like xin.
so here i am struck by HRS (hopeless romantic-ness syndrome) waiting for fate to allow me to find him. because i am terribly in love with the thought of being in love.....
in love with the thought of having someone just like xin.

oh by the way,
good news!
my mom shopped my xmas outfit! im super excited! (^^,)..V

wonders of being frank
if you hit the point hard, the point hits them and goes straight back to you. (a quote in a positive light)
before i totally sign off for another week "focused on studies".. here's a quick recount of what has happened during my lola's death anniv.......
my relatives suddenly changed their treatment to my father. maybe due to the frankness of my dearest and best-est ever-courageous sister who confronted them, the gold diggers and uncivilized people, before. now, the cruel jokes have been lessened and there was peace, joy and not a single trace of fear for any ruckus that might occur.(!) my father seemed to enjoy (for the first time after so many years) the family reunion as it was insult-free and respect-dominant.
another good thing, my everdearest tita was absent! *laughs* (how cruel...*winks*)...(^^,)..V
and with these,
and nextweekend will be the grand as in GRAND party for two birthday blasts--ate yhen, dec.3 (also joycie's bday) and tita lina, dec.10!
everything else is bliss with exception to my.......
postponed xmas shopping
oh no!

the boy.friend scrapbook
i am a certified n.b.s.b (no boyfriend since birth) and a fellow hr. (hopeless romantic)
and perhaps due to the extreme symptoms of The PRINCESS HOURS Effect--h.r.s. i have come up with my own scrapbook, as in literally.. where my scrap past love
let's start from grade 4...
a.k.a. "mr. cool-ot dude". the name says it all, he's kulot and he's salot. he's favorite hobbyis to bug me, to punch me, to abuse me. he was never the sweet guy you would crave to know nor the super "pogi" guy you would drool for. but among all the others, he became my best-est guy friend! (until now) beyond the ka salot-an-ness is a serious side of him that cares for his loved ones so much that he is willing to give all and sacrifice even his name for it. he was my crush before and if he was "wafu" he would most probably be my perfect prince charming but of course, time changed. however, our friendship stayed the same and perhaps, grew into a brotherly relationship. (in addition to that sisterly relationship i have with her gf!)
and now, from grades 5-7...
a.k.a. "mr. luzvimin torpedo". call me "loyal" but i became his super loyal fan! he was cute, mapute, and known around campus. he has the voice of an angel the fingers of apollo and a guitar that sings the most heartfelt melody. i remember when he came up to me (in j-ann's service) and i was blushing all over! he was "torpe" as his servicemate-slash-bestfriend would describe him. but, it was not just the problem. he's bestfriend is his girlfriend! and honestly, they complement each other. but of course, it's just a crush so why would i feel bothered?! aja pa din! since i see nothing wrong with it! and as the saying goes..."enjoy life, for there are other seashells in the shore." (fyi: their relationship is still going strong..lucky them! and i'm happy for them...)
and now we move on to level 8
a.k.a. "mr. lamapayatot kuripot". it all started as a joke and then developed into a crush. whether he had a crush on me, i don't know. but i have come to realize that i don't have any reason (at all!) why i even had a crush on him! aside from kuripot, i admit i looked more manly than he is! *(^^,)..V anyway, sorry to my ka-sibs who's his gf now...
then, on level 9...
a.k.a. "mr. dark beam-na-beam". he smiles always which made him catch my attention. he's dark but has the whitest set of teeth i have ever seen! (hmm.. my tooth.fairy instincts...tooth.radar beeps) he also has that flying, bouncy type of hair best shot while riding a bike or while a gust of wind blows hard. he was kind and all but knowing him more closely made me realize he's not my type after all.
during the level 9 and level 10 transitional stage...
a.k.a. "mr. kumag feeling-player". as of the moment, i now declare that i have moved on from him. he has curly hair, glasses and braces. (which the tooth.fairy despises) he's kind and sweet on the phone but he's a player..feeling player. he loves to listen on the list of girls who find him cute (when they find him freaky and nerdy, in fact). he loves it when he hears someone is jealous of him because of being related to another girl. and he has a Master's Degree in Cheesy Speech Delivery which, unfortunately for me, i have fallen for. and upto now he is that scumbag......
and at level 10...
a.k.a. "mr. marijuana boy". yup, he has been rumored to have taken drugs as his pasttime. and he also acquired M.A. in Cheesy Speech Delivery which again i have fallen for. but in fairness to him, he is much nicer than the former and he even understood when i refused to go out with him. good riddance! at least, i have to maintain focused on my principle: STUDIES FIRST!
as time flies.... it's noice to go back on those past memories of foolishness and "kilig moments". now, it is just a past that i will leave and look back to learn from. and as i move on to college.. i really look forward to another episode of funny "kilig" moments which will make my new life more memorable than ever!
question is,
who will be the next victim? (^^,)..V

paying little visits
their visit was entirely a big deal. (for them)
maybe i just wanna let it all out. just recently, my wonderful insans came home for xmas from their stay in the states. they really missed home and hanging out with them is definitely something to look forward to, for me. they were like my sisters too and i really missed them.
but the story's not about them.
it's all about my tita's and tito's who are so eager to take advantage of the situation, to do everything that would make them "in good terms" with my tito-ninong from the states. (perhaps, it's because he's a quite weak already that their expecting some inheritance or something) they kept on orbiting around my tito as if they are his ever willing servants ready to be summoned for his every comand. little did my tito know that they are like flytraps, so so sticky to "the-big-catch", just to have something in return.. to ask money as debt that'll later on be converted to the "tiway" (t.y.-thank you) currency.
what make me more furious is the past anger i felt for them. my sisters and I have been fighting for respect due to my father. perhaps, he may have done something wrong to tak the glory out of him but after all, he is still the elder. and no matter how everything changes, one thing is true: he is worthy of respect perhaps maybe not as an elder but still as a person.
what we kept on receiving are insults. and i admit that sometimes i even join in their most cruel jokes to make up for the hurt i feel. but still, if they claim they are refined and civilized people with a broad understanding of all those misunderstood, they would understand my father. he is still my father after all. and i couldn't let this injustice happen to him. he has suffered that much to let himself go astray. and now that he struggles to get back on track, i wouldn't let any person to hinder his way. and if they bring him down, i would carry him up.
we, his family..his true family, will.
even if it means the world against us.
in fairness to my other titas, i am glad that they, the rational and intellectual, still exist in the family. at least, their minds have not yet been clouded my conceitedness. at least, they do not stick to "the-big-catch" just for the sake of money but because they knew, it is their duty. at least, they appreciate our good fortune and does not make monsters out of us through pathetic rumors.
and to my everdearest tita, who's hobby is to borrow money and backstab the person she borrowed from, thank you. at least, you have been the example of the nightmare i don't want to have. at least, you have taught me not to be like you. and never will i wish to be like you. i may have been cruel but i really don't care. and the next time i here you lecturing my mother about the "false" upbringing you claim she has done to us, i'll slap it all in your face. look at the mirror.
to my friends who have done nothing but to console me from the "issues" that have been affecting me so much... this is one of them.
the war is just about to begin.
