Weekdays

I'm back to my "rest" weekends again! One - because my weekend mates have been busy. Two - trying to save up some money. Three - really need some rest.

So last weekend I was stuck in my room to do nothing. It was kind of lame I know, and impractical since I whine about how unorganized my life is right now and all that messed up life dilemma.

The art of doing nothing is my greatest, number one, guilty pleasure. I'm so good at wasting time. It may sound very repulsive, yes? But it calms me down. I think there would be some kind of world peace if people just sat for a day and think about things that make them grin.

Ok enough of my nonsense string of calming thoughts. I'm going to stay here, in my room today. I ain't gonna comb my hair, cause ain't going anywhere... hoohoo

Weekdays

I actually can't complain about this week.

Monday, I had dinner with Miko, Erika, and Ate Mariko. "I missed Miko" is an understatement. We're too far from each other sometimes, communicating with her through mobile and the internet is not enough. I miss laughing by the mere sight of our facial expressions.

You know when I say I miss college, a part of it will always come from missing Kumiko. Always.

It's such a great bonus that Erika joined us for the night. It could never go wrong with these two. They are two of those people who make me laugh even I've had the shittiest day. They make me want to laugh, they make you want to try to crack a joke, because they make me not want to waste the time I have with them. It's comforting.

Being nostalgic and all, I dug deep into Kumiko's multiply account and found old pictures. I have to blog separately about that though. She already posted a blog about it. Lovely!

Tuesday, I never get to go home early when I promise myself to do so. Meeting up with Jervi got cancelled because he said he had to go somewhere. Maybe meet boys lol. I ended up having the usual after office routine. Dinner, coffee and pretzels. We got to redeem the free pretzels from Joy. Yay! They were telling me I am becoming one of their topics because I was MIA for a few days haha so I had to spend some time with them. TO RANT of course. :)

Wednesday, Sir Benjie's despidida. Well, no details on that. One thing is for sure though, it was fun. I was not able to join Jervi, Pao and Erika though. I couldn't leave the office even if I tried. I got a call from a drunk Erika who passed the phone to a drunk Paola who then passed it to another drunk, cussing Jervi. Haha what a nice lullaby before I sleep!

Thursday, is just kadlhvfailwuo;wfrw. Since I had to pass the previous night, we agreed to hang out after office on a Thursday. We went to Fort Agave, because of Pao haha. I was pissed off at first because they can't decide where to go, if they're going to pick me up, and to add some more stress they were late. I was hungry and anxious. Finally when we arrived, we ordered and had small talks that involved Pao and Jervi's bickering. And then I turned to face Pao. And on the background I saw you. Oh my, freaking heavens. I saw you. After, I'm guessing, nine years? Wow you still look the same. Still beautiful if I my say. Gad, I sound like a creeper.

I. just. can't. even. I looked so wasted. Darn it. But it didn't bother me much. I was a little surprised to see you. I don't think this comes from mainly or entirely having a big crush on you waaaay back when I was just starting adolescence. It's just that somehow, I came to realize I kind of looked up to you. You were different from all the people I knew back then - smart, kind, I don't really know you but I can imagine what kind of culture you got. Ok I'll just breathe and stop creeping out. LOL

Friday, is HARRY POTTER day! I'm not a fan and I'm a little lost, well most of the time. Didn't read the books, haven't even watched the movies (well except the last two) but I can say I liked it. Pma was crying haha we were all for saving her tears too but Ayee told me to shut up because it was the serious and important part of the film. Pao got extra junk because they didn't give us popcorn. Boo. They should've compensated by giving us two hotdogs! Anyway, SM North was so packed there were people and cars everywhere. We parked at the empty spot at the Valet parking. In our defense, we searched the place and had circled the block to find the valet booth but to no avail. And then when we got back, no one was there either so we just took off. HAHA

To end the day we had Moonleaf to go.

So yes, I need rest. Today I swear I'm not doing anything, nothing at all!

PS. I'm only quoting Bruno Mars's song because of Edei :p

Celebrating Pride

Wait, hold up! I take it back. We DID NOT miss this weekend.

(Hoho I made the previous blog before leaving the house)

Replying to early morning messages :

Me: I wanna see you twoooo

Ayee: Kita tayo maya! :( haha kaso gagawa pang LPs si Pma

Pma: Tara. Chos.

Me: Pweds ako quick Moonleaf lang

Ayee: Si Pma pressured haha

Pma: Ok lang din. Very quick. Haha

So with that, we spent the lazy Sunday afternoon at Maginhawa. T. Vill is so quiet on Sundays, I actually wanted to sit on the curb on one of the side streets. I just want to live there (not on the curb ok? in T. Vill!) I so love that place :)

First, I ordered Margherita at Friuli. Pma got a little drunk the last night she said she was drinking Margarita and was wishing we were with her. I said I also wanted to be them but I'd rather have Margherita than Margarita :p Im kind of a pizza junkie like that. Plus I thought, it was a great way to celebrate Pride = Pizza, Milk Tea and a lot of Gayness with two of my few favorite people.

We didn't really plan on celebrating it. It's just that I got sick and the weather was awful the past few days. It kinda fell into place though; it's the last Sunday of June, NY just passed the bill to legalize same sex marriage yesterday and I'm well (yes, that's another thing to celebrate heh!)

So with all these rainbows, need we say more? :p

When I said I'm in for a quick Moonleaf though, I meant business. We went back to Cubao after about an hour. Being "sick" meant I can't go home alone. After grabbing some potatoes from Tacobell, I had to start yet another wave of separation anxiety with these two LOL

They went to go get some S&R pizza. With Ate Trish and Tita Grace. WITHOUT ME! Darn, that makes me like a sad lady bug. Or a sad gay lady bug. Whatever.

Hey, don't do this again. :p

Ok, so I don't want to end this with an envious note, I really just wanted more pizza!

I think we should do more of this - find quiet places to disturb :p I would definitely go back to T. Vill on a Sunday. If not, a Saturday afternoon in Ayala will do hehe

Monday na ulit bukas. WTH?!

I guess we can't stand each other... being apart!

Ok enough of this clingy cheesy riot!!! Good night! :p

These Are The Days

Sunday! I had a terrible flu over the weekend and things got kind of out of control because of the typhoon (Falcon). Classes were suspended and working hours cut short last Friday. I really didn't have plans for Fri but Pma, Ayee and I were supposed to meet yesterday for some chicken wings. The weather and my sickness got in the way though. So we missed out this weekend.

Now that I have time, might as well blog about our weekly routine. I'm not really sure when it started but it just became a regular thing for us - spend some time with each other over the weekend.

These pictures are worth 3 weeks of pigging out and being silly with Ayee and Pma.

June 4, 2011 - Lunch at Ayee's house c/o Tita Grace! (YUM!), X-Men and BGC

This is one of the many reasons why we love Tita Grace. Look, there's roasted chicken, tofu, mushroom soup, fried rice, POTATOES and many more :))

Waiting in line for free balloons (fail) at BGC

Just plain adoration for ice cream (Pma and I)

With Ayee, paying for my Havs Explorer :))

June 10, 2011 - Dinner at Pino (Maginhawa QC), dessert at Bizu (GH) and milk tea at Happy Lemon (GH)

Dinner with Ayee, Pma, and Erika. Ate Kami followed after she finished her buffet feast at Don-Day just across Pino.

After a lot of convincing and pouting, the Laudencias still insisted they had to go home :( This is just an impulsive decision by the three of us. Sugar rush!

One of my overly sweet photos with Pma. LOL "Meron ng Bizu, isa na lang ang kulang!"

Happy Lemon after Bizu. Something went wrong with my ATM card. Thus, we had to use Ayee's cash to buy all the drinks and pay for the parking! I had to borrow some fare so I can go home. WTH! :p

Bizu and Happy Lemon = 2 cravings satisfied

June 18, 2011 - Went to Eastwood to buy stuff. Happy Lemon then Fazoli's for dinner!

This little thing blinks when your order's ready. They don't have this at GH!

Having the usual Italian Chicken and Pasta at Fazoli's after like forever! I missed this place and their chicken! It was like Jollibee though, too crowded and noisy.

Another photo with Pma. "Tayo-tayo muna." LOL

At last! A photo of us three :) Ayee always takes the photos it's rare to have all of us in one frame. hehe

I love these two. I miss them even after spending the day together. I don't know when we became so clingy or when we became a weekly part of each other's lives. I'm not complaining though, I'm just enjoying it until it lasts. Sooner or later things will change and this weekly routine will be replaced with other activities involving other people.

Sooner or later we will reminisce about these weekends and say "Those were the good old days". But for now, until we can hold on to them, I say these are the days. These our are best days :)

It's Not You, It's Me

I feel a little out raged. A little. That's why I'm going to blog about it then shut up. I just need to vent.

Just so you know, not everything I say or do is about you. Damn it, get over yourself you self centered ass.

FYI, if I have something to say that is heart felt may it be happiness, angst, sadness etc I do not tweet about it. If I mean to say something online that matters to me, I would blog about it. OK?

So don't take my tweets seriously and don't even bother to put yourself in between my words cause really, that is just plain ridiculous. It's not about you, it won't be. It's about me because after all, it is my blog, my posts, silly.

Do me a favor, go get a life. Or better yet, live the life that you claim you have. Got that? and get out of mine. Completely. Thank you.

The Girls from Taft

Ops. No, they aren't from DLSU. They're UP Manila kids! I'm pretty much proud of these girls. They have gone a long way and, wait for it, they're still alive!

I don't know where and when it actually started. We just had a thread where we talked about having a get together. It got postponed a few timesbut we managed to set a date. Much to my demise, they wanted it on a Wednesday, after reg. And who am I to object? I'm the only one working - I was out numbered. Good thing I got my way into convincing them to have dinner at Makati. Meeting up at MOA on a Wednesday night was just pure madness. There was no way on Earth I could pull that one off.

So, I basically sprinted to the bus stop as soon as I got out of the office. I was so giddy about it I didn't even care if my clothes were put together decently.

I came early. Earliest actually. The rain has made it difficult for them to avoid heavy traffic and there were last minute delays and whatever. I was almost pissed. (Why is it that when we plan on seeing each other, the skies won't fail to turn grumpy?)

I went to All Flip Flops at Glorietta and found out that they had Havs Explorers of size 35s in 4 different colors. Ugh. That was when I got really pissed and stormed off back to Greenbelt like a furious Panda.

After so much time waiting and torturing myself on looking for shoes, half of the girls came!

Christine, I, Shane and Bari boy

They did not want to suggest a place and I was dead serious of being hungry so without even thinking, we just went in for some Mexican food. (I like Mexican Express better than this. I don't even know if I remember the restaurant's name right. I think it was Baja?)

Nina and Karina soon arrived. Oh how I missed these two! They were the first two close friends I had at UPM. I think, they're still the closest ones I got there plus Bari.

Bari then commented, out of the blue while the three of us were laughing about some random memory, that the "Mean Girls" were back together. I winced, not being used to be associated with such words and the thought of attaching my name to a famous mainstream bitch movie I didn't even get to watch up to now. I don't think I remember them referring us as that way back circa 2007. Haha but that had made my heart melt a bit. I remember how close we were, we were constantly laughing and gossiping like high school girls. We usually took the lead at throwing random insults to random people like it was just part of our day. We constantly teased friends and made fun of each other.

So many things have changed, Skinny got a boyfriend and is now the president of the Dent council. (what a shocking shocker! hahaha) and Nins have Mia now, she's so adorable! Yet, things seemed to be just the same. It was still fun hanging out with them, no dead air, no awkwardness whatsoever. :)

Hmm, ok so before I get all mopey and stuff. We headed out to get some gelato. Yay! Dessert is my favorite part of pigging out.

After having mediocre Mexican food

Gelato outside Gelatone. (Yeah, cause outside, there's no such thing as service charge!)

We got all kinds of gelato, and with "all kinds" I mean different kinds for us to taste. lol Karina had even tasted so much of other people's gelato, she barely touched hers! Joy was on a taste test feast with the ice cream boy (that's not supposed to sound naughty) and settled for the one with a flavor of Mango and Bacardi. How innocent of her haha

I was raining the whole night. I thought I'd be stuck at Makati. Im never good at commuting in that area. Good thing Pam saved me and I got in a van before it hit midnight. That was so exhausting but I guess, it was worth the effort :)

Thanks to Gio for taking this picture

We suggested to do this more often. Ha! I just don't know if that's possible but we already had the next pig out session planned out. :)

I kind of remembered the blog "Nostalgia Manila" while typing this whole thing :p

The Good Finds

An eventful week. Can't even think of how to sew thoughts in a blog. Sooo... for starters, since muchacho pictures aren't uploaded yet, I'm just going to post pictures of my new friends lol

Last Friday was a "Cancel Friday" Friday since so many things did not push through. Which was a good thing though, cause I got to see Pma and Ayee. We had dinner at Halo and Ayee went to Bellini's for a pre-planned dinner with HS friends. Pma and I on the other hand went to roam around Expo. We ended up at a newly opened book store cafe "Libreria". Upon entering, we saw a table in the middle of the room with a few people seating around it seeming to have a good conversation and quite a feast. A woman in black immediately offered us pizza. That was kind of surprising and well, a bit heart warming. Expo is definitely a place to have random conversations with middle aged folks. After a few minutes she asked our names and said "I'm Gang" and she extended her hand. We then got a slice of pizza and continued to look for books.

"Whoa" I thought to myself. I have heard so much about Gang and Rock Ed but I never really bothered to look for a picture of her. To cut the long story short, the little random conversation with Gang Badoy has made me a bit giddy. :) I decided to tweet her when I got home HAHA

Anyway, so much for a bit of pseudo fangirling. I got the Dirty Dozen Comic Book on sale. It was such a good buy! I even, told my dad and he was a bit impressed with me. Hehe. I purposely chose this among other good books because it reminded me of him :)

The next day we went to BGC. After watching Xmen we went to see the balloons from the passion parade. And well, it didn't turn out so well because we ended up waiting in line to get free balloons but didn't get any :(

Good thing I remembered to pass by All Flip Flops to check out if there were size 35s of the Havs Explorer for kids. (I saw Pma wearing one the previous night and I was kind of in love with them) And Yay! They still had one in blue. As usual, when I heard it was the last pair and they were running out of stock, I immediately had to panic buy it. Pft. But that got me back in the mood sooo it isn't that bad right?

Weekends and so lurve esp when my friends and I get all clingy :p

X-Men First Class

We watched Xmen : First Class yesterday. I first thought the the first class meant like you were going to watch the movie in the best cinema like it had the lazy boy and stuff until I noticed every Xmen movie on the screen said "First Class" Pft HAHA.

Ok so can I just say? It beats all the Xmen movies! Hell, that bromance back story of Erik and Charles. I came to love Magneto because of it. I wished with all my heart that Shaw lived so Erik and Charles would end up in the same team hehe.

The whole WWII and the reference to The Bay of Pigs back ground story is just superb. I think I'm biased with every movie that chooses these historical events. The people behind this movie has done a good job (except for the musical score which was kind of funny at times) I could watch it so many times :)

Hey! Spot Nicholas Hoult (Tony from Skins UK Series 1-2) <3

I want to put this on my bedroom wall!

Erik says Shaw is his creator but Xavier taught him well how to unleash his full potential

Aren't they adorable? I want to take them home.
