Lazy as a CAT


I can't imagine I have been so unproductive since yesterday. My bed is really hypnotic and much as I wanted to fight, I'm totally knocked out til the rest of the day. Woke up past 7pm, turned on TV and checked my phone.. Whoaa, a number of invites! Well, why surprised?? It's SATURDAY!!!

I was munching my last bite when my friend Belle texted me to follow in Yoohoo.. (the where???!) So I prepped up, too shy to reject her again (yes I just did last 31st).. Well, dragging my ass that night was worth it coz Ron followed, a very good friend way back college, whom I haven't seen for like 5 years?? Gosh. She went to London, came back to PI yet didn't get a chance to meet! Seriously, are we like from different continents to never get a chance??? haha!

Here's where my story for the night started. Just to give you an idea, Ron is now married to Alvin - this couple started dating 2 months earlier than me and my Ex-Cager (DM's). So, what should I expect? Nothing but tons of questions! The why's, how come's, what if's, why not's, etc etc.. And tell you what, I'm sick sharing our failed love affair over and over again.. The next time I'll attend a sort of reunion like this, I better record my piece. Few hours later, I received an unexpected call from - the you know who! I was clueless at the moment why he wants to follow - then BOOM! It was all my fault.. Before I left the house, I replied to his txt that I'll be meeting with friends, Belle particularly. Hell yeah, one of my biggest mistake!  Just a tip for everyone, it's not safe to be friendly with your Ex at an early stage (texting is the quickest form of communication but don't maximize technology at this point) coz they will get, by all means, the chances to meet you and your friends.

And so he arrived. Nice shirt, nice shoes, nice scent. So him. And drunk. Sooooo him!!! But, at the back of my mind, why should I get affected by his presence? These people treated him as a friend too giving me no reason to be cold or uneasy, so I just let the hours pass and enjoyed our short chit chats. I gave my friends some sharp stares whenever called for, especially if I hear some hush hush. I caught him glancing at me several times. He even refilled some ice in my beer. I said thanks. I gave a simple smile. But this time, with no spark, with no emotions. Should I be surprised? I never thought it would be as easy as breathing!!! Yes, I really thought it's gonna be a catastrophic experience. Meeting him after several months, in front of my friends??! That was so unprepared! But it seems that I passed that night with flying colours. Well I don't really have to portray a make-believe image just to let my friends feel that I'm really OK but I guess this is how acceptance helped me. I've handled the situation naturally, in my own organized manner, pressured as it may seem. Good job right?

Realization: You may give your best to avoid seeing a person but some unexplainable clumsiness would lead you to his / her path in a weird and unexpected situation. If such things occur, don't lose your composure. Just take a deep breath, it's not bad to count 1 2 3 with fingers moving, then give that best close up SMILE! :)

Hello 2010!

A brand new year.. A fresh start for new things.. A new blog to start those new things coming.. Why not, right? It's been two years so why not continue doing things you love most?

It's the 2nd day of 2010.. and I'd like to backtrack what happened in the last 24hours.. I felt like a cooking oil placed in the fridge, was I sleeping the whole time??  *time space warp*

1. I decided to let go all my hang ups, guilts, frustrations and disappointments by helping myself realize that life is indeed beautiful to be lived with all these negative stuff surrounding you.. There may be people who are destined to inflict you pain, but that's how life should really go. How would you learn to fight and defend yourself if everything is going smoothly.. Bumps and bruises will come along, and it's how you help yourself survive all these challenges. - I AM NOW MOVING ON.

2. I gave Mom a ring and God I really missed her. For many years, I've been celebrating holidays away from my family and now that I'm really living on my own, my tears just keep falling every time I hear a word from her. Love you Mom and I'll see you soon. - I AM AND WILL ALWAYS BE A LOVING DAUGHTER.

3. I received a very sweet message from my Super Top Friend, Christian Guerrero. It was a 4-part personalized message, not just some fancy forwarded quote from one person to another, and I was really touched.. "We may be closing the year but I promise you that my life would always be hooked to your life.." I called him straight away after reading his txt. God, thank you for sending good friends like him and I promise to take care of them too. - I FELT SO APPRECIATED, VALUED AND CARED.

4. I grabbed my cam and joined everyone as we do our New Year countdown. I had my fair share of noise inside my pad and I took videos and photos from my window as I am really scared to stay at the rooftop. I think it's nicer though to see fireworks there, viewing all over Manila, Ortigas and Rizal. - I WELCOMED 2010 WITH LOTS OF HOPE.


5. 10 minutes after 12, I prepped up as Chris and Yen will be picking me up to continue the celebration in Mall of Asia. Chris played "patintero" with all the street fireworks from Cubao all the way to Cambridge, haha! We were parked outside Cambridge while waiting for Yen and there's this drunk, dirty, not so old man who's really disturbing and I was freaking out coz' he's getting near us. Why oh why can't you put Alco in your tummy and not in your head, phew! - I'M STILL HAPPY COZ I'M WEARING RED! haha!


6. Went to MOA, met Chris' friends. Transferred to Taverna. Loved the ambience and crowd. Ordered Golden Margarita, it was a strong mix so I gave my glass to Chris. Enjoyed Zombie. Took photos. Free Cuervo shot for everyone. Made fun of Chris because of that tequilla shot. Yen disturbed with that ex-look-a-like guy in front of him. Took photos again. Ordered more drinks. Good conversations. Good music. Loved the place. Went home at 6. Sun was really shining. No traffic. After 9 long years, I've finally had my own definition of celebrating New Year as a certified single. - I AM HOT AND SINGLE! wink!

7. Slept most of the day of January 1st. Sleep. Went online. Grabbed something to bite. Went online. Watched TV. Sleep again. Call. Txt. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. - I WOKE UP AT 11am JANUARY 2nd.

What a good way to start the year with super good friends, booze and fag. It's gonna be a long away ahead and I'm excited to see life's surprises. Goodbye 2009, all those good times will forever be in my treasure box. Thanks to all the laughter and tears. So what if it was a double whammy for me last year, I'm sure this year's gonna be different, BIG TIME!!!
