fritci was flooding my unit with her collection of text jokes... and wow, wala akong panama sa ganyanan... other than the fact that i'm not into such ka-kornihan (na pinagtatawanan ko rin naman... hahaha!), my other friends really don't send me any at all for the simple reason that i don't appreciate forwarded messages... but anyway, we were on the roll for non-sense messages kaya naman i hit the net and found not text jokes but either pick-up or pang-inis lines...hahaha!
in fairness, natawa ako sa iba dito...

U've got sex appeal, u've got style, u've got intelligence, & u've got class. U've got d face & u've got d body but I've got d wrong number… Sorry ha, mali pala!

Each of us has his own fear but sooner or later we must face it. It takes a lot of guts to overcome it. So don't be afraid to face ur fear. Go ahead, take a bath. Good a.m.
Someday you may lose your hair, you may lose your teeth, your money and even lose your mind. But one thing you will never loose your good looks, coz you can never lose what you don't have!

Di ko kayang tanggapin, na wala ka ng txt sakin. Napakasakit na marinig na nagtitipid ka na sa akin.
Dear fellow texters. Due to Globeline problems, we are experiencing delayed messages. This is why as early as now I would like to greet you a Merry Christmas.
Just wanna giv u a hug to show u my gratitude that uve been my part of daily expenses. Joke lang.
When you feel that the sun is not shining on you... If you cant see the light coz something is blocking your sight & your losing your direction. . MAY MUTA KA !
I may not be pepsi, the choice of the new generation. I may not be cocacola, only the real thing. I may not be nido, the worlds #1 but I can be PLDT, clearly for you.
I wrote your name in the sky but the wind blew it away, I wrote your name in the sand but the water washed it away, I wrote your name every where! Langya hinuli ako ng pulis!
How I wish I could see you today, I really miss you. I try to be there after my work, kaya lang baka ako matrapik… baka di ako umabot! Anong oras ba magsasara ang Zoo?
Sometimes you might catch me staring at you. Its not because your cute but because my mom told me that devils have tails and I'm just wondering where's yours?
They can recycle paper till as if its new, reclaim cans and jars and old bottles too, but they can never recycle another person as wonderful as ME! Kala mo ikaw noh?!
Para kang KUTO, I can't get you out of my head; para kang MUTA, I can't take off my eyes; para kang PUSTISO, I can't smile without you; para kang UTOT, tahimik pero may dating!
If you love someone… set him free… if he comes back… may naiwan lang yun, wag kang mag ilusyon.
I sent a flock of angels to stay with you throughout the night, 1 of them returned to me this morning and said "grabe ang cute nya!" binatukan ko nga kasi mali ang binantayan nya eh!
You're the reason why I have sleepless nights, you are the reason why I tend to hold my pillow tight, I'm thinking of you when I lay down at night, you are the reason why I shout "mommy may mumo!"

Newsflash #33: Erap agrees to step down . . . the U.S. government has granted him asylum with his family. Medyo madedelay lang because he still cannot decide which family to bring.

TRIVIA: Having a good laugh with friends stimulates endorphins, the brain's natural painkillers. So if you need to laugh and you can't find a friend, I can lend you a mirror.
When I was lost you were there, when I was down you were there, when i was bankrupt you were there, when I almost died you were there... Teka, baka ikaw ang malas sa buhay ko!
If you are alone I'll be your shadow, if you want to cry I'll be your shoulder, if you want a hug I'll be your pillow, if you need to be happy I'll be your smile, if you need money wait for your salary.
Why do we sleep? Bcoz we need to take a break from txting. Have a nice dream while texting. :-)
Kinukulong lahat ng text addict na cute!!! Ingat ka ha! Kakatakas ko lang.

When somebody who's deeply in love with you tells you that you're cute, beautiful, and angelic, I agree. That's true, believe me, I swear. Cause love is blind!
Looks may capture the eyes, but it's d personality that captures the heart. Kainis, I have both!
I'm afraid to die not because it will hurt or I don't know what will happen, but because I might be waiting for you in Heaven and be disappointed.
Wag kang pupunta sa lugar na walang signal, kasi parang may sumpa na "di ka yayaman". Sabi kasi, "the subscriber cannot be rich".
How can you know if a person is cute? First, he or she has a poor memory. Second - umn … I forgot na!
How to spot a texter? 1. may muscle ang thumb 2. barok magsalita 3. may bangga ang auto 4. lagging nakayuko 5. nakasimangot dahil di makasend.
Heaven has less angles tonight, coz I sent a few to keep you warm and tight.

PRUE HALLIWEL ::: OBSERVER OF LIFE
i don't want to get to the end of my life and find that i have just lived the length of it... i want to also have lived the width of it as well... smiling when the sun rises... dreaming until the sun hides... but for now, i'm letting go... and this goodbye isn't just a new start... it confirms my submission to waiting... while searching...

the only way is UP...

i am a CARL...
lifetime is too with a K...
but i pray that i will be his ELLIE too...
and the best thing about seeing UP was that i saw it with my daugther... lifetime's little precious...
behind those 3D shades were a pair of smiling eyes... we had a swelling bonding moment... lifetime, for every chance he gets, allows me to live my dream even for a brief time... and for the love of all that's beautiful and blessed, thank goodness little precious likes me... even misses me when i don't see her...
those moments with little precious made UP more moving... more touching...
and most surely, it was a fleeting nostalgia watching UP... eating popcorn with little precious... sharing one cotton candy with little precious... laughing with little precious...
and when we got out of the cinema, hearing "tita _____, are we going home na? wag muna..." somehow played music to my ears... i really hope little precious had a fun time with me...
it felt like finding my own paradise falls...
with my lifetime and little precious in my life, the only way is UP for prue.

thank you tita cory...

at a very young age of 11, all I could fathom from the assembly of a massive crowd and the downpour of yellow confetti and clattered gold ribbons in every post and barricade in edsa was that a celebration is being held… not until me and my sister was separated by the mammoth that was of the military’s tank…
i cried and screamed for my dete… it felt horrible… I thought I lost her.
the chanting of a lady’s name came from all my sides… it was a familiar name but its significance to my life, I didn’t realize… not until now… not until her passing.
pres. corazon aquino is a symbol of hope for the downtrodden people whose spirit has been beaten to shreds by a dictator… as the mighty marcos used fear and force to enforce governance, pres. aquino exemplified compassion, humility and sincerity in uniting a nation to march towards peace and democracy… and as a result, make whole once again the human dignity of the filipinos… and making us believe once again, that yes… as the famous words go, filipinos are worth fighting for… worth dying for.
i normally am not this serious when it comes to my pieces… but two or three days of tears, sympathy and empathy drove me to a more relevant writing…
kris’ was of raw emotion… any daughter or child at that would - given the loss of a protective, ever-valiant and unconditionally supportive mother… perhaps, even a son whose (one of his) major regret is to have grown detached from his mother may still cry a river when she finally succumbs to eternal peace…
the year 1986 was a remarkable one for witnessing how a divided country can be united for a single powerful cause through non-violent means in order to take back their pride, freedom and integrity… now I know.
people power.
two strong historical words that is tita cory’s legacy.
she influenced and motivated us to create history… an L mark that symbolizes hope and courage for people to claim their deserved future…
the power of the people was born from filipinos… filipinos who are romantic people and tends to color their stories with promises of love and romance, of sacrifices and hardship in the name of love, of relationships made beautiful by its devotion to eternal bliss…
people power was more than color… people power wasn’t mere drama… it was the epic of man’s salvation led by a widow whose strength is partialled by her trust in her fellow countrymen… her very sword, the love of a martyr… her hursband.
even in death, tita cory unites the philippines… even former arch enemies and political rivals have embraced modesty and learned to forgive… forget?… maybe not for now or at least not fully… but to forgive is always a noble virtue.
the Aquinos, despite their mourning, looked beyond their own demise.
the ideals of democracy, peace, women empowerment and religious piety are foremost in tita cory’s exceptional leadership… encouraging all to strive for the best to educate ourselves and to believe that we are a gem…
i never thought it will hit me this way… michael jackson’s death didn’t…. neither could I understand why some or most were shedding tears for someone they never even got close with… music is relevant to our hearts… but freedom and democracy is essential to living a life…
I had the privilege of meeting tita cory in person during my ‘game ka na ba?’ (the first) days… kris and I were really close… I was her ‘bavouisse’… and as a little piece of trivia, it was kris who influenced me to using 2 or more celfones…
we had a trip to pangasinan and said our prayers in manaoag church… and on our way back to manila, we stopped over their tarlac residence… tita cory treated us to hearty meal… and my only regret is that I never kept for myself a copy of our picture…
then again, like I always say, the best memories are kept in the head... valued in our hearts...
now, she radiates in her golden yellow aura… like unto a saint… tita cory is the mother of the filipinos… ‘ina ng bayan’ as I called her in our tribute…
I can’t explicate… I doubt I can even find the right words to describe the void… but oh yes… I feel we lost something… we lost somebody… I feel stripped naked in a manner of saying… unprotected… vulnerable… brittle… can you think of anybody else who comes close to a cory aquino? 
cliché but tita cory was a beacon of light… and of course I never realized not until the first of august…
tita cory was an inspiration…
tita cory is an inspiration…
tita cory will remain to be an inspiration…
in our loss, let us keep her memories alive and the values she stood and sacrificed for…
and as noynoy said, death doesn’t have to be the end… it is a new beginning…
my and my sisters’ prayers are with you tita cory… may the gift of eternal peace be yours in the hands of our Creator… and eternal happiness with your beloved Ninoy… 
thank you for the democracy…
thank you for the truth…
thank you for the ray of light…
thank you for the inspiration…

ang mga P sa buhay ni Prue...
may i ask, ganun ba talaga... 'kapag sobrang in love, keber sa english?
o baka kasi talaga mas masarap mag-express ng feelings kapag filipino mo sinabi...
mas nadadama ang pagka-heartfelt...
ewan... all i know is... i just want to express... need to unload by expressing because i'm overflowing with love now... hehehe!
anyway, so what's with the P's?
naisip ko lang the other night... PERPEKTO ANG BUHAY NI PRUE!
nasa akin halos ang lahat ng P na kailangan ko...
may PERA naman ako kahit papaano,..
may PAMILYA ako kahit pa dinaanan kamii ng bagyo noong ako'y maliit pa lamang at nagkahiwalay ang magulang ko...
i have loving dear sisters who are more than enough to fill my complete family...
higit sa lahat, may PAG-IBIG ako ngayon...
but then, naisip ko, may kulang pa pala... hahaha!
kulang ako sa PANAHON...
at naku... wala akong (excuse me... paxencia na... hindi naman ako bastos pero...) PUKENKAY...
HAHAHA! minsan feeling ko tinubuan ako... napalitan na ata ng pussy ang puwet ko dahil pakiramdam ko babae ako kaya minamahal ako ng ganito ngayon... but then i blow my own bubble tuwing maiihi ako...
LOL!
sana meron akong PUKENKAY noh... para mabuntis na ako... gusto ko mabuntis eh... para mapadali ang kasal... para pwedeng mamikot... not that i need pa to resort to that.. nakerz!!!
oooopsss... okay lang naman kahit medyo kulang sa PANAHON... at wala noong pinaka-aasam kong P sa ibaba...
may nagpaalala naman sa akin... nasa buhay ko ngayon ang PANGINOON kaya yata ang daming P sa buhay ni Prue...
Salamat Pangiinoon sa mga P sa buhay ko... maraming maraming salamat po!

not just a hearty laugh but a lad with a heart...
remember Valentina Hasan's Ken Lee version of Mariah's Without You (Can't Live)in Music Idol of Bulgary?
Oh well, wala siyang sinabi sa ipakikilala ko...
may i present to you Jessa Belle of Antipolo City...
That's what happens when she's in love... hehehe... By the way,she's a fan too of Rihanna...
but Crazy For You and Anim Ang Umbrella isn't all Jessa Belle's got...
Jessa Madrigal is in truth a total performer... all-around talent... sing and dance
but the best part of all is that when she sings, she pulls every emotion sa puso niya... she wants to deliver with feelings... just like her blockbuster rendition of My Heart Will Go On...
Rated K did a feature on Lenlen's saga, albeit - the real story behind the lyrics and notes.
Oh well, we all have our own way of coping with life... Jessa Belle sure knows how.
Anyway, the reason for this post is because of a call i got from a friend... She says she's been looking for me for ages but it was only now that she was able to get my number from a college friend...
her mother wants to help Jessa Belle...
Wow! Now that's really nice... at least, may naantig ang puso after tumawa at mapasaya ni Jessa Belle.
Wala pa man, maraming salamat na sa Beltran Family.
P.S.
thanks too to flawlessangel08 and thewingsproduction for their youtube material...

piper says, prue says... (thoughts on love)
of course everybody's free to read on... i've my bff piper's consent to let everbody eavesdrop on our exchange of thoughts about love and LDR (long distance relationship)...
most times, piper and prue are on the same plane... and more often than not, our wavelengths bring us crossing the same road on the same boat...
and so here's a mouthful to both wise, sensitive, brave hearted and stale, clueless and inexperienced men... definitely not for the faint of hearts... hahaha! may your ires not be irked...
piper says: Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. Kaya nga pala ayoko magka-boyfriend...kasi ayoko ng stress.
prue says: yes, sometimes having a boyfriend is stressful... and sustaining the fire in the relationship even more... worst, when you carry the guy on your back... bigat magbuhat... mahirap kumarga... nakakapagod umalalay...
piper says: i can just see my friends doing THE FACE saying, "asssuuuu....eto na naman si evette"...
prue says: hmmmm. didn't make that face... instead, "hahaha... napagod na si piper bumaba."
piper says: I am tired. After almost 6 months, yup...I'm exhausted. Eh kasi naman, ang tagal na sakin ng 6 months noh. I don't think I can still go on.
prue says: 6 months isn't your longest... you've had more strenuous and unbearable "relationships" over a longer period... you tried and now your tired... came early because i think, on this one, you gave more... hmmm... a different piper... maagang nagsipag... maagang nagbigay... maaagang nag-alay ng sobra... maagang napagod... be it known to you piper, prue admired you though... you had and showed faith... but faith isn't all that keeps a relationships work.
piper says: My attempt to explain why I am tired:
1. There's so much distance between us. Thinking of when to see each other again is tiring. Especially when you are the only one thinking. Haha.
prue says: ouch! did you expect otherwise piper? foolish but again, you had the faith...
piper says: 2. there's so much distance between us... when it comes to our views on things. Really, this is major...and sad. Diba pag trinanslate mo to sa mga legal cases, ang tawag dito IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES? Eh diba pag may IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES KAYO, ground ito for annulment? So weh pano? ha? ha? Pano na? Ha? haaaay.....
prue says: differences? yes... but irreconcilable? it maybe reconcilable but how much are both willing to give... again, mahirap pag isa lang... kaya compromise... kaya reconcile... it requires both... it can't just be the piper... bias ako... i know you very well... and i know little of him... by the way, ikaw ang drained kasi it was you who gave more... he is giving less to it, kaya hindi pa siya ubos... gets?
i'm sure you do... people who give more tend to grow tired earlier than the rest...
piper says: 3. There's so much distance between us....when it comes to values. Ang values, subjective. Alam ko yun. Hindi ko iniiba ang values ni dreads. Alam ko na yun eh. Ang tanong, kaya bang magsama ng dalawang taong magkaiba ang values? Di nga, puwede ba yun?
prue says: so much distance in terms of values? naku... i say, hindi... imposible... o cge na nga... possibly... it can be easily said that again, it's just a matter of compromising or respecting each other's values... if one is willing to give up his own or atleast learn from the other, why not... but why would one give up his own clear set of values... it is what makes up a person... siya yun kasi siya yun... let me reiterate, CLEAR SET OF VALUES... CLEAR SET HA... not having a clear set of values is most likely not having any at all... get the drift? Prue's stand is... pwedeng magmahalan ang dalawang taong magkaiba ang values pero hindi sila pwedeng magsama... they will only doom themselves... they can only dream of living a lifetime together... totohanin ang panaginip kung pareho na kayo ng pananaw sa buhay... take your item no. 4 piper...
piper says: 4. There's so much distance between us....when it comes to future-planning. Dreads lives in the NOW. -- which is also a good thing. I live in the NOW and the FUTURE.
prue says: kung hindi niya iniisip ang future pero ikaw iniisip mo, hindi kaya maiwanan siya pero dahil mahal mo siya, aalalayan mo siya para sabay kayo or makasabay siya... pero hindi naman pwedeng ikaw lang ang handa para bukas...
piper says: Dreads knows what he can do and dwells on what he cannot do. I know what I WANT and I know HOW TO GET IT.
prue says: paano nasabi na he knows what he can do? i think he doesn't know what he can do... he dwells on what he cannot do because it's his convenient excuse for not knowing what he want... o baka naman talagang ayaw mag-effort kaya maging sa ibang bagay, dun na lang tayo sa kumbinyente... hindi kaya? kumbinyente kayang hintayin na lang natin kung anong ibibigay ng buhay...
piper says: Dreads is a dreamer. I am a dreamer and a doer.
prue says: a dreamer alone wakes up to nothingness in neverworld... piper makes dreams come true because she's a doer... hindi pwedeng isang tao lang ang tumupad sa panaginip ng dalawang tao...
piper says: Dreads takes his sweet time. I am sweet...and believes TIME should not be wasted.
prue says: taking the sweet time is for the much blessed in life... for those who have very less, time can't be their luxury... english 'yan para hindi masakit sa tenga at mata... kapag tinagalog ko, masakit ang maisusulat ko about this one...
piper says: Dreads can afford to kill time for 24 hours. I think 24 hours a day is not enough, dapat at least 28 hours ang isang araw.
prue says: piper... you can always borrow from the next day... hahaha! huminahon ka... i feel otherwise... i want to shorten the day... i can't wait for christmas...hahaha!
piper says: Yes. I am citing our differences. eh ano ngayon, pagod ako eh. wala kong paki. hihihi. di nga, nakakapanghina ito sa totoo lang.
prue says: of course you're tired with this one... it's only you who thinks of the your (plural) future... most times (let's give it to him, the very few times, may ginawa naman siya...) it's only you who do things for you (plural)... eh ikaw lang siyempre ang gagawa dahil ikaw lang ang may pahalaga sa oras...
aaaaah... dito pa lang pala ang questions... hahaha! so mahabang blog-an pala ito... eh okay... game ako... pag-ibig ba naman ang pag-usapan eh... hahaha! dito na tayo magkakatalo...
piper says: Which leads me to these questions:
QUESTION # 1: CAN LOVE REALLY EXIST BETWEEN TWO UNEQUALS?
prue says: a classic isyu 101 topic...
my stand is... YES, LOVE CAN EXIST BETWEEN TWO UNEQUALS... in every aspect... no matter what kind or form.
Our stand will of course vary depending on how we view love... what we think of it...
Love for me is more than just an emotion, it is a will to surrender and sacrifice...
With that, how can love not exist between two unequals?
Now here's the thing... WILL LOVE WORK BETWEEN TWO UNEQUALS?
Sticking to my definition of love, YES, IT WILL WHEN ONE OR BOTH IS WILLING TO SURRENDER AND SACRIFICE.
But for HOW LONG WILL IT WORK?
Until one is still willing to surrender and sacrifice...
so DOES LOVE EVER DIE?
YES, IT DOES... WHEN EVENTUALLY, NOT EVEN ONE IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE AND SURRENDER.
but shouldn't love be eternal?
YES, if you are already celestial...
not because it ended it means it's not love... everything in life comes full circle...
piper says: QUESTION # 2: WHEN YOU'RE TIRED, DO YOU JUST REST?
prue says: yes... i rest... if i don't, i will definitely burn out... and so will my heart...
piper says: QUESTION # 3: IS THIS CONDITIONAL LOVE? Magpakatotoo tayo, mahirap ang UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. May ganun ba talaga?
prue says: Yes, that is conditional love... and magpapakatotoo ako, mahirap ang unconditional love... but it exists... we are capable of genuine, true, unconditional love... it doesn't come easy but we can...
actually, hmmmm... this is a good question if only because it brings to mind a counter-premise, is there such a thing as CONDITIONAL LOVE? If it's conditional, is it love?
oh well, semantics... conditional love and unconditional love are theoretically antonyms... but if it's conditional, wouldn't it make love a commodity? condition... give before i give... pay before you acquire... suffer before i sacrifice...
piper says: QUESTION # 4: WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T EXERT EFFORT AND TELLS YOU "EH WALA AKONG MAGAWA"? Do you believe him?
prue says: No, 'wala kang ginawa' is more like it...
piper says: QUESTION # 5: WHEN THAT SOMEONE TELLS YOU "intindihin mo naman ako" WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE DRAINED YOURSELF TO UNDERSTAND HIM, SHOULD YOU ANSWER HIM BACK AND SAY: "eh patayin mo na lang kaya ako!"
prue says: ang isasagot ko sa kanya, 'pinipilit kitang intindihin pero hindi na kita maintindihan kung bakit hindi mo rin ako maintindihan... ang hirap nating intindihin... naiintindihan mo?'
piper says: QUESTION # 6: WHEN YOU SHARE A SUN LINE TO AVOID HEARING THE LINE "wala akong load eh" BUT YOU STILL HEAR THE LINE "eh walang signal eh", O ANO KA, ANO MASASABI MO DUN? HA? HA? HAHAHAHA! NATATAWA NA KO SA MGA ORAS NA TO.
prue says: ay... ay... hay naku... ewan ko... ang masasabi ko lang, wag pagurin... lalo pa't isa lang ang willing to sacrifice and surrender, naku... mapapagod talaga ang gumagawa ng paraan...
piper says: QUESTION # 7: WHEN YOU'RE UP THERE AND HE'S DOWN BELOW, GIVEN...TUTULUNGAN MO SIYA. ANG TANONG, HANGGANG SAN?
prue says: hanggang kaya mo... kapag hindi mo na kaya, tama na...
piper says: QUESTION # 8: WHEN ALL HE SAYS IS HE MISSES YOU AND HE LOVES YOU FOREVER, DO YOU JUST HAVE FAITH IN HIM? YUN LANG HA. YUN LANG ANG PINANGHAHAWAKAN MO. HAHA. WALA NGANG EFFORT DIBA?
prue says: i don't do small talk... even in love, i don't... i appreciate lines like that... but i have more faith in a man who does rather than just say... lambingan, okay 'yan... pero usaping pangmatagalan, kalokohan 'yan...
piper says: QUESTION # 9: (eto medyo digging up the past ha, again, wala akong paki) WHEN HE THINKS THAT SAYING I LOVE YOU TO HIS EX GIRLFRIEND IS OKAY TAPOS ANG DAHILAN AY "friend ko sha eh" SHYET. MAY TATALO DUN? CGE NGA? YES, I TOO WAS STUPID TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE. HAHAHAHA
prue says: yes, you were stupid bff but nevertheless, that was love and if only for that... i salute you...
piper says: QUESTION # 10: AT ETO KA, ETO KA. WHEN FACED WITH TWO CHOICES...A CHOICE BETWEEN PLANNING YOUR FUTURE, REUNITING WITH YOUR HONEY AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH, SCOUTING FOR POSSIBILITIES, EXPLORING A NEW WORLD, SETTING UP GAMEPLANS FOR YOUR CAREER, WITH FUN TRIPS AND HAPPY SUNSHINY DAYS vs. A GIG AT ICM WHICH HE ALREADY SAID NO TO, KAYA LANG SAYANG DAW KASI FASHION SHOW NG MOSSIMO, DEADMA NA KUNG MASAYANG ANG PLANE TICKET NA AKO ANG NAGBAYAD AT NAKABOOK NA THREE WEEKS AGO ....AT ANO ANG PINILI? GO FIGURE. eto naman ang choice niyo: maniniwala ka bang mahal ka niya talaga at iintindihin mo? o sasalampak ka sa upuan mo, magsisindi ng yosi, titingin sa kawalan at tatanungin ang sarili, "san ko nga ulit nakilala ito?, may problema ba ko nung mga panahong yun?"
prue says: sasalampak sa upuan... magsisindi ng yosi... tapos tatawag sa telepono... refund the ticket... uupo ulit... sisindi ulit yosi... at babatukan ang sarili... 'eh bakit ba naman kasi ibinili ko pa ng tiket sa eroplano... pwede namang barko na lang.'

what's the news on me?
most of the scripts are still being revised and i have to wait for everybody to accomplish my inputs...
and so i am left with nothing much to do...
now, that's something new... hehehe! not being 'ngarag'... or atleast managing to handle work-related stress better... my bet is my vacation really did me good...
anyway, what's the NEWS on me?
1. not that it's really a big deal but like i said, i am better at handling stress now...
2. i'm sporting an 'emo' look... bangs extending to my chin... one-sided of course... got tired of my usual hairstyle...
3. i've four new books (twilight saga - twilight, new moon, eclipse and breaking dawn... through with the first... on to new moon)
4. my heart's delighted... i've a hubby... i (or rather we) call each other 'hugz'... lovelife's finally blooming... does that make me an official 'ilokano' then? hahaha!
5. i am simplifying my life... this is the fourth time i've attempted such a feat... but if love can move mountains, love can re-invent this big lump of lard...
6. and to simplify my life, a few mandates on myself now... work starts at 10:30am... leave office by 7pm (except on very exceptional cases like tonight)... and i say, since i got back to work, i have been able to observe that... i declare, I WILL ENSLAVE MYSELF NO MORE!!! YEAH, I DECLARE!!!
7. having laid on that divan while doing the psy-war with my shrink really improved my anger management... what a relief... i deserve a kudos... my friends will attest to my reformation... I WILL NOT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF... AND HOPEFULLY, EVEN THE BIG STUFF!!! I WILL ALLOW NO ONE TO GET INTO MY NERVES!!! guess what?! i am very good at it already... hmmmm... now i miss her (the shrink i mean)...
8. no more dinner for me... no more heavy, sweet and salty, carbo-heavy intake as soon as the sun goes down... i am very determined to lose pounds...
9. spending a thousand bucks and so everyday is already a thing of the past... i never thought i'd manage with a hundred bucks a day but i am enjoying the process... now, i can eat with my friends in the cafeteria (no pun intended)... hehehe! i hope my friends at work appreciate me for that... they know better...
10. i don't shout anymore... did you read that? I DON'T SHOUT AT ANYONE ANYMORE!!! wait... i realized that only now... woooooooow!!!!
11. at oo nga, i just asked my friends... I DON'T USE FOUL WORDS TOO NAAAAAA!!! yes... oo... hindi na ako nagmumura... i am awed with this realizations... i never knew these (items 10 and 11) until this very minute...
i'll end my post on this note... my friends and i are having dinner na... ay... sila lang pala... i'm joining them lang sa caf... o naks naman... hahaha!
P.S.
sana Lord, i am right about everything... thank you for guiding me... i like who i am now... made me see the light, didn't You? Love you God!
P.P.S
may isa pa pala... i am now wearing shoes... pahinga muna flip flops and sandals... my new nail hasn't grown yet though... by the way, walang umattend sa libing... hahaha!
make it forever...

and i do...
"i miss you," i whispered.
"i know. believe me. i know. it's like you've taken half my self with you."
"come and get it then." i challenged.
"soon, as soon as i possibly can. i will make you safe first." his voice was hard.
"i love you." i reminded him.
"could you believe that, despite everything i've put you through, i love you, too?"
"yes, i can actually."
"i'll come for you soon."
"i'll be waiting."
as soon as the phone went dead, the cloud of depression began to creep over me again.

are you my life now?
i pouted.
"you were very deeply asleep; i didn't miss anything." his eyes gleamed. "the talking came earlier."
i groaned, "what did you hear?"
his gold eyes grew very soft. "you said you loved me."
"you knew that already," i remindd him, ducking my head.
"it was nice to hear, just the same."
i hid my face against his shoulder.
"i love you," i whispered.
"you are my life now," he answered simply. there was nothing more to say for the moment. he rolled us back and forth as the room grew lighter.

locked in...
"I was afraid... because for, well, obvious reasons, I can't stay with you. And i'm afraid I'd like to stay with you, much more than I should." I looked down at his hands as I spoke. It was difficult for me to say this aloud.
"Yes," he agreed slowly. "That is something to be afraid of, indeed. Wanting to be with me. That's really not in your best interest."
I frowned.
"I should have left long ago," he sighed. "I should leave now. But I don't know if I can."
"I don't want you to leave," I mumbled pathetically, staring down again.
"which is exactly why I should. But don't worry. I'm essentially a selfish creature. I crave your company too much to do what I should."
"I'm glad."

on nightfall...
I was still staring when his eyes suddenly shifted back to mine.
"It's the safest time of day for us," he said, answering the unspoken question in my eyes. "The easiest time . But also the saddest, in a way... the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?" He smiled wistfully.
"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars." I frowned.

anyway, if anybody's interested to find out what their name has to say about their personality, just go to http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/...

pakikiramay...
baka gusto niyong makiramay sa akin... kasi... poooooooooooottttaaaahhhhhh!!!
aaaaaaaarrrrraaaay!!! namatayan ako ng kuuukoooooo... at mula sa pagudpud hanggang dito sa manila, kumikirot pa rin siya... i stopped taking dolfenal for the pain for belief na hindi na siya sasakit but no... ang kiiirrroooot ng laman... i did continue taking amoxicillin though...
patawad.... alam ko gross... pero shiiiiiiiiittt talaga... akala ko kasi hindi siya namatay... it didn't really turn black... just gray... but very off the usual pinkish toenails... oh well, i don't actually know if it's suppose to turn black kaagad or kung talagang after a period of time pa... really at that time, i don't even know kung patay nga ba yung nail ko or na-trauma lang... first time eh... at hindi siya masarap na feeling ha para sa first time... potah naman talaga po... gaaaahd!!!
sige... go... takbo sa shore... sige harutan daw sa pampang... ayun, as if naman napaka-flexi ko at napakataas ng angat ng paa ko kapag humahakbang eh halos hilahin ko nga lang ang paa ko lalo pa't masakit na sa kakatakbo...
i tripped over a small bato... actually hindi maliit, malaki... nakabaon lang kaya may nakausli... ang kasamaang palad, yung 2nd daliri (katabi ng hinlalaki... don't know what's it called...) ko sa kanang paa ang pinaka-nasabit... next thing i know, i was already dancing 'skip to my loo' dahil sa sobrang sakit... and whoa, pagtingin ko sa daliri ko sa paa, pakiramdam ko nawalan din ako ng dugo sa ulo...
gray na gray na ang kuko ko at namamaga ang daliri... don't worry... i have no plans of posting pics ng na-trauma kong toe... hahaha... oa na... super gross.... but i did take pictures for a lasting remembrance of my pagudpud kagagahan...
Oh God... Lord... please... please please please talaga... please let the new nail grow back kaagad... i love sandals... i've collected flip flops even... you know naman na bihirang bihira ko isuot ang aking mga sapatos at rubber shoes... sandals guy ako di ba... flip flops here and there even in the office...
unless gusto mo akong magpa-bazarre ng sapin sa paa...
sheeeeeeet talaga... until now, hindi naman siya nangingitim but i was really anxious to find out bakit siya kumikirot... so medyo kinuha ko si nipper... silip lang... Diyos ko po... naka-angat na pala si kuko ko... kaya naman pala gray na kasi hindi na siya nakadikit sa laman... hello... may logic naman ako... obviously, if it's the case, wala ng buhay si kuko ko... hindi pa lang nangingitim but surely, it's dying na...
God naman eh... ikaw naman eh... tatapikin mo lang ako, ganito pa... sana naman God binatukan mo na lang ako... kinurot sa singit... o kaya piningot sa tenga... did you really just want to call my attention... warn me of some sort... bait naman ako dun sa pagudpud ah... Godm ang pait nito ha, masaklap... napakasakit na pangyayari... natatawa na lang ako ha... ikaw God ha, you really always have a way of calling my attention... kapag gusto mo akong pagalitan o pagsabihan... naman eh... patay na kuko talaga ang binigay mo sa akin...
alam ko na kung bakit... sabi ni doc, 2 months after pa mamatay ang ugat... by then, pwde na bunutin... and then another two months for the new nail to fully grow back and replace the old... so malamang mga 4-5 months... waaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
God ha... madali ba akong makalimot sa mga pangaral mo, hindi naman ah... talagang paaalalahanan mo ako ng paaalalahanan through my patay na kuko na... para sa tuwing makikita ko siya, i'll be reminded to behave... hmp! i was mabait... just that i gave my heart away again... was it really that bad?
God ha... serious ako.. nagpapanic ako... patay na kuko ito noh... naman eh... naiiyak ako talaga... at talagang kung kelan pa ako babalik na sa work saka pa... waaaaaah... mukha tuloy akong timang dito sa blog...
nabaliw dahil sa patay na kuko... mas maganda ata kung... hmmm... nagbigti ng dahil sa patay na kuko... hindi nakayanan ang lungkot na idinulot ng patay na kuko kaya sinabayan na sa libing ang patay na kuko... waaaaaaaah...
imbes tuloy na bugshots ng magandang paraiso at pag-ibig ang pinopost ni prue, hindi ko mapaghandaan... hindi ko ma-upload pa sa iphoto... eh kasi dalawang araw na akong nakatitig sa kanang paa ko... hoping na maaawa siya sa akin at bubuhayin niya si kuko...
pero wala... kailangan ko nang isuko ang pag-asa ko... coz dear friends, ive already cut part of it... to let it breathe... the rest of it will have to wait when the roots have dried as well... until then, my almost 25 pairs of sandals of sandals and flip flops ay pagpapahingahin ko muna...
haaaaaaaaay nakuuuuuu!!!
P.S.
lessons learned...
1. bawal talaga ata ang masyadong masaya... may kapalit... in my case, buhay nga ang puso ko, namatay naman ang kuko ko...
2. kapag medyo lampa at tanga at hindi naman talaga agile, wag nang makipaghabulan sa kaulayaw... marami namang pwedeng lambingan... pwede namang nakinig na lang ng kantang "moonlight kiss" sa ipod habang hinihintay si sunset at humindig sa balikat eh... (eh kasi naman, nagawa na namin yun... hihihihi!)
3. naaaaakuu naman... at ngayon ko lang narealize, lagi ko naman bitbit ang aking speedo footwear kapag out of town ako lalo pa't beach dahil nga nag-iingat ako sa masakit na bato at para secured talaga ang paa ko from anything and everything... at dala ko siya sa pagudpud ha... bakit naman hindi ko siya naisuot ng mga oras na iyon... kung kailan naman talaga ako magtatakbo... naku naman... ok ok ok, mabuhay lang si kuko ulit... sinusumpa ko, never na akong pupunta sa shore ng hindi yun ang suot ko... super trauma na talaga... napakatanga ko...
haaaaaaay nakuuuuuu... na-stress ako bigla... will go to the parlor now... after all, tipid na ako sa pedicure... kulang na ako ng isang kuko... discounted na dapat... puuuuuuunnnyyeeeeeetttttaaaaaaa!!! hahahahaha!
