Happy Birthday, Tads!

It's been a while since I had a fun day out! Today has been Tads' birthday celebration with me and Jed. It was also the last day of my third term. We had finals earlier and Ma'am Sideno didn't show up on our last day. Anyways, it was raining real hard and I felt kind of lazy to push through with our date. It's fine if it's just Jed and me but Tads would be disappointed if I cancel our commitment just because of the weather. 

It was our first time to use GrabTaxi. We're supposed to try GrabCar since it's cheaper and more private but everybody near our area rejects our request trip from P. Noval to Eastwood. Finally, one taxi driver accepted our request. It was a looooong drive from UST to Eastwood and it was terribly raining. 

When we arrived, we bought tickets for Minions. We chose the 7:50 PM show since we arrived at 5:30. We strolled down at the bazaar and it's surprising to see how low their prices are! Much cheaper than any other tiangge and I'm so going back! We left right away since I was really broke and I only have 200 pesos in my wallet and I didn't want to stress myself even more for not buying the things that I really like. It was depressing enough to stay a little longer and just window shop. 

We proceeded to out next itinerary: Big D's Smokehouse.

Our Start-up Nachos freebie!

For appetizers, we had Nachos. Then, for the main dish, I ordered Open-faced Roastbeef. I didn't have the chance to take a picture of it because I don't really take snapshots of food and I always eat them right away. Theirs was Smoked Soft Bone Ribs. I am not really a big fan of ribs because of its sweet flavor. 

Stage 1 Smoked Soft Bone Ribs

After dinner, we went to the cinemas to watch Minions. The movie was really cute and it's so heart-warming to see those yellow creatures pull your heartstrings. But don't expect anything big because it really isn't much of a biggie.

After the movie, we decided to play bowling. It was really fun!

First time to bowl!

 

Our scores! Haha

 Finally, it's about time to get going. The ride home was much faster. I got home at 11.

Our birthday present for Tads!

I didn't have any regrets with pushing through our date today despite the weather. Hoping for the next one! 

...

Two sampals; three or maybe four ayoko nas. And now finally, we broke up. I thought this would give me a relief but just thinking of him makes me want to cry.

I Miss You Everyday

More and more each day..

Yes

I am not settling for anything less than everything so it's either you give me all or nothing.

Game 2 + Insidious 2 = 4get Me Not!

It was a really fun day with these awesome people! It was Saturday so we had PGC. Dean and Kyvan did not come to school so I was just with Aaron and David. We went to Pacific during our extended break (our prof dismissed us early!) and we watched The Parent Trap. It really is a nice movie, ohh I super love the classics! I got a bruise in my head because the scene was so intense, when the lizard got into Merideth's mouth! Eww! We got late on our next class because of my stupid head. The bruise was so big, I felt like a kid! After class, we watched Game 2 of DLSUST but we lost. So sad! We're really hopeful on the 3rd Game! Then we went to SM North to watch Insidious 2. Unfortunately, we were not able to make it to the 7PM show so we just had the last full show. We ate first at Manang's then Jerome joined us. The movie was so intense! I screamed almost every minute! But it's worth it! We got home at around 1am already! I really love these people!

Bang, Bang, I'm In Love NOT

I promised I would fix everything first before involving myself into something. I was fine, perfectly fine. I felt mature in ways I could not even imagine. I let God inside my world again. I started to believe in life again.  I started to live life, again. For the longest time, I became very happy with the people I just met.

So there's this guy. His name is Makoto. I don't know where we stand in each other's lives but we are friends and we are happy like that. Or at least we were. I had this four-week rule and I told myself that if he would be able to get past it, maybe he's the kind of guy i should get serious with.

I met him more than a month ago and it all happened so fast. I never admitted to myself or to anyone that I liked him because I was not sure if there were any feelings involved at all. Maybe I was just curious and interested. Maybe I was enjoying his company. Maybe it was implied already. I don't know. I just don't know. There's one thing I am sure of: there are just two kinds of guys, a boyfriend or a friend. Nothing in between. 

We had our happily ever after but it ended so soon. We had fights and misunderstandings that complicated the situation even more. I cannot expect him to woo me and all because we just met. I know he would not understand but I just have these crazy days that I just feel like I wanna kill everyone. 

I read his tweets and blogs about me getting irritated at him all the time. For me, they don't make any sense at all. Was he informing me indirectly that he is backing off already? Okay? In my defense, I just wanted to make sure that he is gonna see the real me. I just wanted to express my feelings because I did not want to suppress any. I just wanted to feel the most heartfelt assurance that he would be there listening to my rants and that he would be there for me come what may. I just got disappointed because I did not know that's how he sees me. Of course I got offended that's why I unfollowed him on Twitter, intentionally. I didn't know that he was going to notice it. Technology makes the world so small. It also makes our minds narrow. Really. 

With those misunderstandings, many questions bothered me. What if I am not ready yet? What if I haven't recovered from my past life just yet? Is this even worth getting into? I just feel vulnerable knowing that I am letting emotions win over reasoning. 

Last week was the fourth week and I felt like we're growing apart. I am terribly longing for those days to come back, the days when we felt nothing but genuine happiness. They say it is all in the mind. Was it because of my four-week rule? Or was it a sign that we should stop whatever this is because it is not even there to start with?

A Sleepover to Remember

Yesterday, family came over and we had lunch at Trinoma. It is Daddy's birthday today so Kim and I bought him a gift. It was a polo shirt from Nautica. It was a bit pricey but it's fine with us. We started saving since June so we could buy Mommy and Daddy gifts. We asked Jan to fit the shirt and he also helped us choosing colors. We told Mommy that we got Daddy a gift and she was so mad at us because she said Daddy tends to be so choosy when it comes to polo shirts. The neckline and the colors are two important things. But whatever. I really got disappointed when we gave him the gift because he was like unappreciative at all. He said we just wasted money. All he wanted was good grades. It was raining hard and my parents thought the General Assembly would not push through anymore. 

But still, it did. So upon my arrival at the dorm, Kyvan and David fetched me. Gelo was not there when I got into Kyvan's car. He was a little bit late. We arrived early at the PICC, the call time was 6 and we got there at around 4. Dean sang Raul in the Phantom of the Opera. The night was really fun, the people participated really prepared for this night! It was a contest after all. The ISys lost but their presentation was really boring and not organized but we supported them. At around 10pm, they were not allowing students to get out of the hall because the rain was super hard and the streets were already flooded outside. They only allowed those with fetchers and cars. I was not really feeling well that time anymore. No sleep + colds + hungry. Nobody had paracetamol that time and I was really feeling cold already. Makoto gave me his food. Then I found a blister of biogesic inside my bag and I felt a whole lot better. How ironic! At around 2am, they started giving out foods. They gave us KFC but it wasn't really deelish, but whatever. People were so hungry then already. We left the place at 3am. We went to Kyvan's house to have a sleepover because he can't drive us to UST anymore since the water in Espana was super deep na. We watched The Conjuring and we can't scream and all because his parents were sleeping. I fell asleep because I was really tired and all. When I woke up, the movie was finished already. Then everybody started to sleep. Gelo and I were the only ones awake. I kept on waking Dean up but he's such a heavy sleeper. Then I fell asleep at around 6. Kyvan's mom woke us up to have breakfast. Then after breakfast, we played Rockband then I joined Kyvan and Dean as they played the guitar. Of course I can't play that so I was the one singing. Then we fell asleep as the other guys played Rockband. After having lunch, they drove us to UST and finally I got home! There was a relief when I got home but I felt a little clingy and I missed them already! These people are worth remembering ♥

Happy Graduation, Kim!

Woke up at around 9am, so doomed! I haven't packed up my things yet. I'm supposed to clear up for the summer but here I go, sleepyhead zzzzz. I fixed my things real fast. I had to go home today for Kim's graduation. Timothy also came over. I spent the day babysitting Jan and I really had fun because he's so sweet and it's all so good. Then I asked Carl to sit with us then we took photos together. Funny we had the same camera! We ate at Guilbert's with Tim. Then Mommy invited him to come over with us in Tagaytay and I really felt jealous because I'm the older one and I should be the one bringing boyfriend but I guess I'm stuck with my little brother. But no biggie! I love him so and I'm glad to be stuck with him even if it takes forever! You see, commitment isn't really my thing. I have no time for boyfriends and serious stuff yet. Right now, I'M DYING TO FIX MY LIFE!

Wandering Minds Want To Know

First day of school, haven't heard anything from Alfons.. The last time we saw each other, things were not smooth between us. Anyways, I have many other things to focus on than be a pathetic girlfriend! Besides, it's still too early to conclude on anything. I am still having my birthday this month. But I guess I have to ask for a sign already. If he's gonna do something special on my birthday, then, he is worth everything. But if he won't.. then I have to set him free. Oh, it's Bambi's birthday today and I made her a video! Preliminary examinations is fast approaching and I'm starting to feel the pressure and stress again! One thing I hate about being stressed I always tend to run away from the stressors. When I need to finish something, I don't do it right away. Instead, I just chill out and wait for the time to pass. Oh well, bad habits :<

HAPPY 19th, B!

Back on Track and Ready To Start =]

            Hey. I'm back on track and I'm so happy about that. Haha. There's this guy I really really like. I won't mention the name anymore. Haha. Well, I told his friend what I'm feeling. And it's like, ndi man lang sya nagulat or nagreact. And dito na nagsimula ang lahat. Hindi na ko nahihiyang aminin ung feelings ko sa ibang tao. Well I'm so happy where we're at.  You know the feeling na kapag matingin lang sya or magkatingin lang kayo, kilig to the bones na? Haha. That's what I feel.  The feelings are far different kapag bf mo ung isang tao. Kasi you already know there's mutual understanding. Kasi kapag ung crush mo ung natingin, parang uy! Andun talaga yung spark eh. Mapapaisip ka kung gusto ba nya talaga ko? Thanks! I'm really happy!

Crushin' c:

Heya! I'm having lots of crush ♥ Pero top 1 si ******. Dalawa sila :)) I just feel so happy whenever I'm with him. Feel so good whenever you're having crush. One look and you'll die from kiligness ♥ You'll just find yourself smiling for no reason. Tapos no aways pa, maybe once in a while.  Maybe you're friends, maybe you're more than friends.
