write what you think. after a couple of years, you would be surprised to know that you have actually thought or felt that way.. yet, it's amazing, and it brings back a certain feeling from days long gone, feelings you forgot you ever felt. things you forgot of ever thinking about. actions you forgot of ever doing. important things you thought never happened. the nostalgia sucks but the reminiscing is worth the nostalgia anyway =)

During raffles on Christmas parties, I've never been the lucky one. Diba, there's always someone who gets the major prizes, not just in Christmas parties. I have an officemate who came to the party late and as she was sitting on her chair, her name got called for the grand prize. That's why I never really expect - I know di ako swerte. The closest thing to a grand prize on raffle draws for me is a 500 bucks worth Starbucks GC (which is grand for me na, really! Hahaha).

----

A couple of blogs ago (haha, natawa naman ako dito <---), I said something about meeting KC Concepcion being the highlight of my year. And that nothing can top it. That was March 6. I still think THAT is the highlight of my 2012. But, God, You are just soooo cool and oh,my, You really have the best ways of telling me You love me =)

If you are my friend, there is no doubt you would know that KC is my big sister. My Ate Kace. And you wouldn't think it's funny when, in a conversation, I call her that... well, because you probably also call her that na rin. :p 

Found this on old albums here and I had to laugh out loud! Define magpapicture with KC! Hahaha! 


I have no idea how I got hold of it but her version of A Change in Me (Beauty and the Beast) was my teen years' theme song. It had the most number of plays on my iPod, I had it in my phone, I blogged about it, I even wrote it on my bedroom wall (along with Mojofly's Choose). 


I've been rummaging through my files but couldn't find the pic of the whole song on my wall :( but if you look at the top right of the pic, see the lyrics? That's it! Haha.

When I was in college, I'd walk from Boni to Guadalupe (sayang ang 6 pesos, anlapit lang eh!) on my way home. It's in these walks that I get to think about what I want to do, reflect on how the whole day's been, and plan for what I'll do the next day. Before reaching Guadalupe, there's this big Bayo billboard that I see every night. I was so happy the first time I saw it. At least I'd get to see Ate Kace every night. 


I remember times when I'd just look up and say, "Haaaay, kelan kaya kita ma-mi-meet?" I've never been showbiz, I don't know anyone from showbiz, so that's actually a question/dream I know might not come true. I knew the closest thing to meeting her was seeing her on mall shows. And that was okay for me. That actually came true last year when they were promoting FAAD. She went to Glorietta and sang a song. I was at McCafe with my sister and my brother-in-law. I insisted on not going anywhere muna, later na lang pag-alis ni KC. That was a very happy day. =)

GRABE, Lord, You are just so awesome talaga! Since early this year, there has been A LOT, and I mean A LOT of blessings! Some things happened, things that I never dreamed of happening. I got to meet new people, wonderful people, who make me smile every day. 

Sorry, I had to interject that coz, as the title of this post says, ovewhelmed talaga ako. =))))

A few days after meeting KC, I was still floating on air (pero malapit na bumaba), I got a Direct Message on Twitter from her telling me that I was chosen as one of the five lucky tweeties. Ay nakoooo! Imagine?!?! I got a DM from KC Concepcion!!! I was ecstatic! Pa-take off na naman ako papunta sa himpapawid! Haha!

Come Wednesday, April 18. Ate Gik BBMed me a pic of the gift. TEASER! The thing that caught my attention was a pink letter attached to it. It was addressed to me! It had my name on it! Sheeeeehhht! KC Concepcion wrote my FULL name down on a sheet of paper! Hahaha (sorry for the fangirl squeal :p). 


The wild guesses for the gift were: autographed CDs, lots of magazines with her on the cover, Bayo goodies/GCs (since she endorses Bayo daw). But when Ate Gik started asking about computer-related stuff and about iTunes and wifi routers, ay, ibang level na 'to!!! I had a feeling it was an iPad nga, and seeing another winner's gift kinda confirmed that it was no magazine or CD. If only heartbeats could be heard, ang ingay siguro sa office. Haha! They were laughing at me for being excited more for the card than for the gift itself. But I've always been like that. Sure, I love gifts, but letters and cards have a different effect on me. Old school? Maybe. That's just me. :p


Reading it now still gives me the chills. Could this really be true? Waaaaaaaah!!!

Today, not a day goes by without me thinking of KC (kasi everyday I play Draw Something on the iPad she gave me. How can I not think of her? Haha).

I cannot, for the life of me, I cannot believe KC Concepcion gave me this!


When I think about everything that's happened, I can't help but feel... uhmmm.. undeserving. I still don't know why I was chosen out of the 1 million plus followers on Twitter. I'm so overwhelmed by the kindness, by the generosity of someone like her, to me. E ako lang naman 'to. I'm sure there are a lot of other people that look up to her who deserve this more than I do... Pero syempre walang bawian. Haha. Seriously, though. Everyone's been reassuring me that she found something [in my tweet/s?] that made her decide to give me something (ehem to Anne and Liz and Ate Gik!). I do hope I get to know why, sige kahit hindi ngayon. Haha.

To KC, Ate Kace (hehe), thank you so much. Not just for the gift and the letter, but for being someone I can look up to since then. Thank you for being you, the astig and unique and creative person that you are. Thank you for your generosity not just through physical things but emotional and intellectual things din. Lately, you've been inspiring me with your new pad. The fact that you've managed to live there and make it look like THAT, at 27? Wow! But more than having your own place, you have inspired me to be independent. It must've been hard! And to move out, in the culture that we have, I can only imagine. :p

Thank you for being my role model. =) 

They say you become lucky especially when it's your year (Chinese thing). Some say I'm lucky because it's my year. 2012 is the year of the Dragon.

I say I'm blessed. I say God loves me and reminds me that He loves me SO MUCH through acts of kindness from people like KC Concepcion and others I meet and interact with everyday.

I say we are all blessed. We might not get an iPad everyday, or meet our favorite celebrities everyday, but if we open our eyes to what's been given to us, the fact that we can still open our eyes, is testament enough to say that we are blessed.

Good morning, world. Have a nice day!

Surprised ka? Haha!

Since I didn't get you anything last Saturday, I'd bring back my Multiply tradition na lang. Hihihi :p

I just wanna thank you for being one of the people I look up to, both here in Twitter and in real life (and in writing!!!).

When I went to Mima's concert, all I wanted was to see her live, hear her sing, have a few laughs and go home. I never expected that I would get to meet her and get to know really really really nice people like you guys.

When I went to the taping with you, all I expected was to see how things got done from behind the camera. I never thought I'd learn a lot of things from you. You are the perfect example of what loyalty means. Like, you should be in Thesaurus or something!

LOYALTY: unswerving in allegiance: asa : faithful in allegiance to one's lawful sovereign or government
b : faithful to a private person to whom fidelity is due
c : faithful to a cause, ideal, custom, institution, or product
d: e.g: Cris aka surfgirl_xox

Haha! Pero seriously! I never really knew what loyalty meant until I met you. Some people reading this might make a big issue out of what I say in this post but as I always say, I don't give a fudge. It has nothing to do with me. This is about you and how happy I am of where you are right now. Haaaay if they only hear your stories! Too bad I can't tell them! They'd be wild-eyed and all! Hahahahaha!

You are just one of the smartest people I know! And you're not boring! And you're funny! And you watch OTH (Well, used to)! And you're a great dancer!!!! Wahahahahahaha!!!

If only you lived nearby! Araw-araw talaga tayo sa Starbucks! Tipong hanggang closing time! Haha!

Happy happy happy happy ___th Birthday! (O di ko na nilagay kahit alam ko kung pang-ilan na ha!)

I know you're happy. Like REALLY happy. Haha.

Dyan ka lang, wag kang gagalaw. Dyan ka lang
Kukunan kita ng litrato sa isipan ko
Ang ganda ng iyong ngiti kahit na ngipin mo'y sungki
Ako'y natutuwa sa'yo

Wag kang tatabi sa akin
Kung pwede ay nandyan ka lang sa harapan ko
Para kitang-kita ko ang mukha mo
Kay sayang tingnan kahit sa anong anggulo

Nanana naaantig ako
Nanana naaantig ako sa iyo...
Sa iyo...
Nanana naaantig sa'yo...
Nanana naaantig sa'yo ang puso kong ito

Ang yong ngiti, ang iyong galaw at katawan
Gustong gusto kita sa malayuan at kahit sa malapitan
Wag kang tatabi sa akin
Kung pwede ay nandyan ka lang sa harapan ko
Para kitang-kita ko ang mukha mo
Mata, labi, ilong, noo - ibig ko'y kabisado ko

Nanana naaantig ako
Nanana naaantig ako sa iyo...

Sa iyo...
Nanana naaantig sa'yo...
Nanana naaantig sa'yo ang puso kong ito
Ang iyong ngiti
Ang bawat galaw ng iyong katawan
Ang ganda gandang pagmasdan kahit sa malayuan

Ang iyong ngiti
Ang bawat galaw ng iyong katawan
Ang ganda gandang pagmasdan kahit sa malapitan

Ang iyong ngiti
Ang bawat galaw ng iyong katawan
Ang ganda gandang pagmasdan kahit sa malayuan

When I was little, I remember having been stuck on the degree of comparison for the word good. It was a tricky word for us students who thought we have mastered the adjective/adverb plus -er, -est lesson. My teacher told us we could use more or most as an alternative for the -er, -est.  More good? Most good? Didn't sound quite right.

Good. Better. Best. I finally learned.

No, this post is no English lesson on comparisons, well, maybe.

In this world where everything comes at a price, where almost nothing is for free (heck, the jeepney fare is 8.50!), must we always really have to measure? I've lost 5 pounds this week... I've saved up 5k this month... I've closed 3 deals today. Well, I guess we really have to measure. How would we know if we've progressed, right? Or regressed?

But does everything have to be measured?

I've seen conversations like these in Facebook lately, I've been seeing it often actually, and it just annoys the hell out of me.

Girl: I love you, honey!
Boy: I love you more, hon!

or

Girl: I miss you sooo much!
Boy: I miss you sooo much more!!!

Really?

Can it not just be I love you, too or I miss you, too?

Bawal malamangan?

They say it's the thought that counts. Would it count more if you add more to it? Will the person who said it first mean it less because you said more? Funny, I read someone say "I love you most!" maybe because she knew that's the superlative for the 'contest', nothing would top that. Or maybe she was just pissed at her boyfriend for saying he loves her more. Because who knows, really? Or should we really have to know?

In a world where everything is measured, where there is an equivalent, where things are judged with greater than or less than signs, would it not be better if we did not compete for sweet, simple things like these?

I miss you. I love you.

Period.

It's 4:58 AM and I'm still in my room, not running around like I normally do - to think that I have a 5:30 shift at work. It's times like these, when I open my laptop when I wake up, that I know burnout is around the corner.

Last week, I had two half days and one one-minute late. This week, I had one vacation leave and who-knows-how-many lates. The unsurprising thing is: I don't care.

They say it's better to hate someone than to not feel anything at all. It means you still care. But I think I'm way past hating what I do. This cycle has been going on for three years now, on and off, on and off. I have no idea how I held up, why I am still here. When I joined my company, I told myself: One year. One year for the adjustment period from college to the corporate world. Today, I'm the only one from our wave still here. And they said they were planning on staying much longer. Hah.

I ask myself sometimes, "Do I have a dream?" The last few months have shown me what I really want to do, thanks to the generosity of one person. But that's just a hobby my friend would say. I know she's right, but why do some people make a living out of it? Because they're brave, passionate? Or is it because they're rich and have plans B, C, D even after the dream failed? At this point in my life, I know I cannot do that as a hobby - what more chase that dream? Other people are depending on me. I know that should be a motivation but honestly, it's pressure. Pressure and fear.

Better go back to practicality. It's 5:13 AM on my computer clock. And I have a 5:30 AM shift.

Thank you Multiply, you have served your purpose yet again.

It's been a few hours since I heard about Britannica's announcement but I still cannot wrap my head around the idea that IT WILL BE THE FINAL PRINT. I had to write that in caps not so much for emphasis but to convince myself that it's true.

Wow. Technology and all the good it brings, I have nothing against it. I love the fact that as time passes, man surpasses his latest accomplishment, develops new ideas, innovates. After all, we are in the 21st century. And yeah, I know the internet is the new thing. I love the internet and I cannot imagine not being connected to it, that would be total chaos for me. It's just sad that because of exactly that (on a larger scale), the need [or want] for books have decreased dramatically so that something as iconic as the Britannica would stop printing.  Yes, I know it won't end, they still have the digital version, but... I dunno, maybe because I'm biased to hard copies, maybe that's the reason I feel bad.

Or maybe because it has always been in our living room since I was a kid. It has been on the background of so many family pictures. Where to put it was one of the considerations when rearranging the house.

Those books were my constant help in school, back when connecting to the internet was still a strange and scary experience. When what my high school library had to offer was limited, macropedia was the answer to almost all my homework.

In 1997, I was in grade three, Princess Di died. I got curious about the royal family, who Prince Charles was, who the Queen was and more importantly, who Prince William was. I remember being so engrossed, I skipped lunch, just to try to digest all the information, try to understand who married who. Why someone was not called Prince but his wife was called Queen. 

To the kids who won't know what it is, it's the Wikipedia of our time. It wouldn''t take a few seconds to find results for your research as how we do it now in search engines. That's what the Index Volumes are for. It has always been the best part for me - the cliffhanger - to know if the topic I'm researching about is there. We didn't have Control + Find to search for keywords then, kids! :p But after you've read and learned about your topic, the feeling is different from finding it on the net, it's more rewarding, makes you feel more proud about yourself. Well, that's just me. :p

I know I can still do that now, we still have the set, but knowing that other kids younger than me wouldn't get to experience it is a little... frustrating. I know I shouldn't be angry, everything evolves, and Britannica has to keep up with the changes, but... but... :( Not having it would be like not having Cartoon Network or not knowing Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, or not knowing how to play piko.

Hmmm. I'll just wait for the day...

It's enought that I got to meet Ate Kace. But for her to DM me that I'm one of the five?

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 5 hours, naka-smile pa rin ako. Wahahaahahaha. Aymsohapi!

So I rummaged through my old email's archive and found my CSS codes.

Yep, bringing my KC-like layout back. Fail na nga lang yung dimension ng banner. Haha

She was the reason I learned how to use CSS to customize my page. Seeing her tweaked banners, rails and footers, challenged and inspired me to design my own page as well. More importantly, she has been the reason I maintained a blog.

Her blog was 2 years older than mine. I was reading a magazine in Powerbooks Greenbelt then (a break from reading a book) and I saw an article regarding her blog. I remember getting to a computer shop as fast as I can, to see for myself. I regret not having found it earlier because she stopped blogging (publicly? I dunno. Haha) mid-2008. But since it was already 2 years old when I discovered it, oh yeah, blog overload, people.

I was amazed and inspired by her blog posts. First, because she managed to keep it updated (which I thought was an impossible task), and because her posts were sensible, articulate, and unpretentious. I learned a lot from them, got to see places I know I'd never get to, and realized things I never paid attention to but end up saying, "Oo nga, 'no?" I often asked myself after reading a post: How can someone like her, someone of her stature, be so simple and so kind? When helping out was not yet fad for celebrities her age, she has been doing her best to help society in her own little ways. When having love teams were the only way to create movies, she has been saying that maybe it would be possible to create one without getting a leading man. When everyone was busy being in the "in" places and events, she posts pictures of her appreciating art and attending exhibits. She emanates passion and uniqueness.

I just smile to myself whenever I read this now. I never thought I'd really get to maintain a blog (I always forgot passwords). I used to think of things I should post here, posts that would be funny or sensible. But as time passed, as I grew up, this page has been more personal to me. When I don't feel like talking to anyone, I vent out here. Everyone's in Facebook and Twitter already so no one, not even my contacts, would get to read my rants. Hahaha. I would always come back here. No matter how many other blogs I create, this would still and always be my happy place. 


So imagine my happiness when I finally met my inspiration. As my barkada called her na rin, Ate Kace! :p To finally hear that familiar voice which I only heard on TV and in her movies, ohmygahd, it felt so surreal, like walking into a set and waiting for the director to get mad at me for ruining a take. She was talking live. Hahahaha.

I had to constantly remind myself: This is reality. This is not my late-night-meme-time-imaginations. I am in front of her. She is talking to me. She is asking me about Tumblr. Stupid me for not knowing the answer. And I hear myself saying, "Ohmygahd!" all over again. Keep calm, self, she is hugging you!

Even if all I could say was "Ohmygahd!" and cover my face with my hands, that night would be one of the highlights of my year. I know it's just the first quarter, but I don't think something could beat it. Hahaha.

I got the chance to talk to one of my closest college friends tonight (me and KC's other sister hahaha), and she was really happy for me. She witnessed my computer-shop-renting-css-tweaking-class-cutting days because I was sooo into Multiply! To finally talk to someone who witnessed your fangirling era was really comforting and overwhelming. And the blushing came back. Hahahahahahahaha.

If there is something I would leave you tonight, it's the statement that God has been intimating to me these past few months. Grabe, Lord, iba Ka talaga!

Dreams do come true.

It may sound cliche, but they really do.

It's 4:32 AM, and as much as I want to continue creating the map of Texas on my pillow, I HAVE to drag my sleepy ass up and prepare for my report (in about 14 hours =). I've been up 30 minutes now and I tell you, I haven't opened any powerpoint slide yet! Haha!

I love times like these, it brings out the creative juices in me. Not to do my report, of course, but to... create a blog post! Hahahahaha!

Since it's Valentines, I've been contemplating on the word the Valentines Season is the reason for.

LOVE.


Awww. Loooove! Weird, random comment: Whenever I hear the word "love", the first thing that comes to mind is The Beatles' All You Need is Love. All the time. :)

See my very coherent post? Haha!

Anyway, I've always had issues with the love thing. Showing it, no, but saying it, YES!

I remember my brother and his ex-girlfriend always saying I love you. Like in random moments. It's sweet, yes, but... I dunno... I guess the word loses its meaning if you repeat it so many times. If you talk to your boyfriend on the phone, does it always have to end saying, "I love you, bye bye'"? Yes, the thought that something might happen and that may be the final words you say to him is acceptable, but is it not OA?

Or am I just saying this because I don't have a lovelife?!?!?! Perfect adjective: BITTER!

Hahahahahaha.

Nope, it's not that. Even with family and friends, I don't usually go around saying I love you. I grew up always saying it, actually, my parents always say I love you to us kids. I dunno what changed. Probably me, and watching too many movies. :p I really feel guilty when someone says I love you, be it a friend or someone else (;P), through text or verbally, and all I can say is thank you. Especially in text messages! People can be so madrama and emo in texts but I find it hard to say I love you back. ;( Or sometimes I will, but I'd change the spelling. Luv u or aylabyu would be common replies, but I save Love you for a little audience. 

There was one TV show a few years ago which featured a guy who couldn't say those three words. I'm so thankful I can naman! I just reserve it to the few deserving ones. Wouldn't the meaning be more meaningful then, when you hear those coming from me? Hahaha.

And yes, this blog post is for YOU. :p :p :p

I was browsing through my old writeups, high school and college writeups mostly and I stumbled upon my speech for my sister's wedding in 2005. It really pays to write down what you think and how you feel especially when you're sad or super happy. I can still see the crowd after I read my piece, they were crying! Hahaha! Natatawa tuloy ako na naiiyak. Awww, I miss writing these days. Haven't done much writing these last few years, I dunno, too busy? Too tired? Let's try to change that, shall we? :D

HERE IT IS. Please bear with the old me. Haha (Title: My Roommate)


My roommate. She has been my roommate ever since I was six and it pains me to know that I wouldn’t have a roommate next year. I’m afraid she really wants to move out now. Just a few months and the room would all be mine. But I’m not at all happy, knowing that the last person I see before I go to sleep and the first face I glimpse at after a peaceful sleep would turn into soft puffy pillows by the end of December.

 

My roommate was born on the 29th of June, 1977 to Martin and Manuela. She is the eldest of three children. In all those eleven years that I got to be her roommate, I have memorized so well how she would react to things, on what jokes she would laugh at, and what things anger her most. When she has no classes, she just wants to stay in bed, embracing the hotdog pillow tight while letting the electric fan blow to her face. She loves thick blankets, especially those from Baguio. She’s a “sleephead” as what we always call her.

 

I can relate to her more now, than before, because although we have a huge age difference, we understand each other. She is now able to tell me how she feels like among her friends, and she also shares with me her roller coaster love life. Though she’s strong, inside her is a girl wanting to always be secured and protected.

 

This mate of mine is a truly intelligent person. It was evident since she went to school, always being included in the honor section and the honor roll of the school. She showed everyone how intelligent she was when she passed UP. When she was still living in Mindanao, her high school friends invited her to also take the entrance test, especially because the venue of the exams would be in Davao. She was staying in Cotabato so she thought that it was a good reason to tell her parents if she wanted to go to Davao. So, with every requirement accomplished, she, together with her friends went to Davao. But instead of studying, all they did was to go places and appreciate the beauty of the place. It never occurred to them that they had an entrance exam the next day and they had to review. After a few months, it was announced that she and her friends passed UP. She told me that when she first heard it, she was happy but she didn’t really think of its effects on her life. She just knew it when she finally told her mom about the news.

 

At the tender age of twenty, she has learned how to be strong, how it felt like to be the breadwinner of the family. Due to some circumstances, she had to take over the role of her dad and it meant to support her two siblings, one in elementary, and one in college. Plus, there are all the kinds of bills that show up at their doorstep monthly.

 

But all these things she has surpassed with God’s help. She asked for guidance from the Father and she was never hesitant on how to tell her family what she felt like saying.

 

And now, it’s her time to be happy. After all the sacrifices she has done for her family, I know that now is the time for her to be happy. She  has already met the man of her dreams and they’ll be getting married in four months time. This is the reason why she is moving out. So, even though it’s hard for me to see her pack her things, I would still let her because I know that she would find true happiness in what she would do.

 

All these times, she has done a great lot of things for me. And because of that I’m gonna miss her. I know she would just be around, but I still am gonna miss her. I’ll miss my confidant, my clown, my singer, my dancer, my strip teaser, my instructor, my teacher, my rabbi, my professor, my friend, and my sister. God knows I’m really gonna miss my sister.

Chanced upon this on my high school teacher's Facebook.

I've always loved seeing old couple strolling in the park, going to the market together, shopping at malls. I get super kilig when I see them holding hands! Haha. I personally do not like holding hands but it's different when I see them do that. Haha.

This is one of the reasons why I ache for an SLR. It's moments like these that I really really really wish to capture and... well... immortalize them. When I was in college, I used to see a couple who walk every morning holding hands and a cane each on their other hands. Took pictures of them with my phone camera but it's low def. Haha. Come to think of it, I haven't seen them here lately. Hmmm.

Anyway, this video is something all of us should aspire for. :)

So if you scroll down, you'd probably see how happy I was when Mallary Hope appreciated my blog about her and her songs. I was really happy that day. A few days ago, I introduced her to my mom, what, with all the music blaring in the house? Haha. She thought it was Haley of American Idol Season 10. I kinda disagreed. Haley has that raspiness in her voice, Adele-like, while Mallary's is... well... Mallary's. So my mom asked why Mallary wasn't famous yet, and I said that was really the big question. I let her see Mal's video clips and my most recent favorite, You Don't Deserve Me. Mama said, "Sige, isama natin sya sa prayer list natin kasi love nya si Jesus at maganda yung mga kanta nya." My mom is just the sweetest! Haha.

Anyway, that was supposed to be the introductory part of the post lang! Hahaha. Yesterday, in part because I needed a break from my Tech Writing report and because she tweeted and she looked/felt sad, I made a blog for the Megastar. Naks! Haha. She actually responds in Twitter, something I found odd at first but now the first thing I look at when I log in. Maybe it was because of the haters or... I dunno, but her tweets appeared, well, gloomy. And I read a tweet about her needing to hear someone tell her to not stop inspiring. And I just had a lot of things to say! So, I started writing things in twitlonger and then decided against it coz it's too long. So I posted it in my blogger (which I rarely post blogs to but I use more recently).

Tapos, she read it pala. :) My little heart jumped and I was so touched by her reply. For her to tweet me back and tweet that? Kasi she can say, "I read your blog, thanks!" naman diba? Pero no! I genuinely felt the love in her tweet!


Sorry, I'm still kilig up to now. Haha. And not only that. I'm happy kasi other people got to read it too, some actually retweeted it, some said they felt and wanted to say the same things but didn't know how to express it lang. An angel got my email ad and... Secret. Haha. I made new friends who like her too, especially Ate Prima! I rarely talk about books now because my book buddies have different lives na, I don't get to see them often, and just to have someone appreciate reading is refreshing! Imagine, Masters in Reading! Ang galeeeeng! And I really hope I get to meet them, and hang out with them, kahit mabilis lang. Though I don't think I'd fit in and I don't know what I'd say kasi I'm too young! Haha.

It was one of the most surreal days of my life. It's not everyday that Sharon Cuneta [and other people] appreciate what I have to say :)

I've been listening to a lot of Mallary Hope songs lately. Take Me There jumpstarts my day. Everday. I dunno, I just love dancing to it. 

Anyway, I've been following her on Twitter and had small conversations with her. She actually tweets back and she is so freakin' funny. And I loooove her songs.

I decided to write something about her and when I thought it was decent enough, I tweeted her the link. The day after, she tweeted back! I thought she never got to read it because of all the twitter parties she had.

I just had to print screen the whole thing! Haha! Up to now, I am still stawstwuck and when I re-read my blog, I still can't believe she read the whole thing! Hahaha.

Multiply! What happened to you???

You became so.... commercial! Haha..

Hmmm.. haven't written anything for a while now. What can I possibly write something down here on the eve of a major exam?

1. I have not opened a book yet. I don't feel like reviewing. Thanks, sir, for telling me that I can make it! It's gonna be on you when I flunk! Haha.. Seriously, I just don't feel like reviewing. Maybe because there's a part of me that still doesn't want to pass, to not do 'that' thing knowing that it's so stressful and I really don't know if I could make the first few months. That passing the exam would mean changing shifts at work and to tell you the truth, I don't like to go back to morning shift anymore. Wow. I can't believe I'm saying this. But I guess it's true. Yes, maybe because the workload on nightshift is lighter, more petiks mode for me, but it's mainly because of the people. People in the morning shift are sooo... personal. I've appreciated the "work-only" mode that the nightshift peeps have to offer. No baggage, no hard feelings. Less yosi! Haha..

2. There have been couple of times this week when I don't know if it's morning or evening! I could be awake for the longest time at night and get confused that it's nighttime. I just have the worst sense of time right now.

3. My life is soooo boring. Even I admit it! Hahaha.. Which makes me think that #1 is not such a bad idea after all. It'd make me busy and all that shit.. 

As usual, there is really no point for this post.

Your constant rambler,
Niks

Read this somewhere this morning. It was talking to me! Haha!



Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

We can do this! LEEEGGGOOOOWWW! :D :D :D
