best wishes my friend



that's lyn, my high school bestfriend who's getting married this may. beside her is the groom paul who has been her boyfriend since 4th year high school. her first boyfriend and now soon to be husband.

looking back, it's so funny to remember that our barkada was very hesitant on having paul as her boyfriend. grabe! it made a big issue to the point that lyn asked us if we're asking her to choose between paul and us, her friends. naks! as i reminisce those scenes, i can't help but laugh at our immaturity and selfishness. i think we were just so jealous of lyn's newfound happiness. and to think i can't even remember why we were so against of paul. as for me, i wasn't really against of paul. i was just afraid he may hurt lyn knowing him to have just gotten out from a long relationship. malay ko basin naka-like pa siya sa iyang ex and is just making lyn as panakipbutas. hehe. haynaku! hayskul layp. so full of drama.

so next month they're going to tie the knot officially. sus! papel na lang jud ang kulang. after 13 years, finally, kasal na jud. haaay. i'm so happy for her. the last time we talked, i could feel that they're so happy together. and what more, for the first time, i witnessed paul's sweet side.

duz, i'm so happy for you. if ever you need me, i'm just an email or text away. mishu.


below are high school pictures i dug out from my vault. can you point me out?

slowww

A friend just called to inform me that my crush is already taken. He just had a girlfriend recently. And to top it all, she is a Filipina too, and someone I know. Arrrggghhhh! Grrrr! It could have been me. Sayang. Ang hina ko kasi.

Sayang. Compared to his current girlfriend, I'm much more intelligent and prettier. Hahaha. Okay okay. Actually she's pretty. That's just me consoling my torn ego.

I hope di sila magtagal. Hehehe... Bad me.

Shit.

I've been dreaming of you for 4 consecutive days. Please stop thinking of me.

Loving my Life

Just called my Mum and talked to everybody back home. It's my uncle's birthday tomorrow and they're all going to the beach. Ibog ko. Huhuhu. I wish I were there. I miss them all. Makes me more fervent on my plan to go home come October. Cross my fingers and hope to God - I will go home. Puhon.

It's a nice feeling to feel loved. I don't have a lover right now but I feel so blessed and so loved by my friends and family that I don't really care nor mind that I don't have some other half to share it with. True, I get lonely sometimes. I miss the feeling of knowing that someone thinks of you and that someone will be there to take care of you whatever happens at the end of the day. But then again, after years of not having one, you learn to live with it. You learn to get by with just yourself.

Sometimes, it does get into my mind that perhaps God doesn't really have anyone destined for me. I guess He can't find one of His beings who can be capable of getting into me. Nobody worthy of me. Nobody who can be my equal. Nobody who can put up with me. I am very strong-willed to the point of being very stubborn. I don't like anybody asking me questions about when and where I go. Although I don't speak out my opinions, I am a very opinionated person -- I just don't shove it over other people's throats. I hate people who do that. Because as much as I am an opinionated person, I also respect other people's opinions. Whether their opinions are right or wrong, I don't really care - especially if they're wrong. I don't have the patience to explain. They can believe whatever they want to believe for all I care as long as I know that what I believe is right - well, most of the times. Saying that, do you think some guy can put up with me? Based on my state right now, single at 29, I guess the answer is clear. Nada. Crystal.

Then again, nowadays, I can say that I don't really need a man. For what? Now that may be very cocky of me but that's just how I feel right now. I don't need a man. Period.

I love my life just the way it is.

--------------------------------
I always cry whenever I read something about the Pope. Is it just me or am I really that pathetic?

not you

the touch
the stares
the adventures
i miss them all
but i don't miss you

the hugs
the burger meals
the kiss on the forehead
i miss them all
but i don't miss you

the calls
the banters
the songs
i miss them all
but i don't miss you

the poems
the babytalks
the brains
i miss them all
but i don't miss you

i miss them all
but not you
no, not you


i haven't been in blogging mode lately. it's not that i don't have anything to write about. it's just that i don't have the urge nor the desire to share whatever i'm experiencing or thinking recently. plus i can't find my creative juices to write with sense. i don't know but i guess i really need pain to be able to write something good as i tend to be passionate when i'm hurting. but if it takes pain or sorrow to make me want to write, i'd rather be the senseless blogger anytime.


i browsed through this site and inggit na inggit ako sa galing niya. fell in love with his photos easily.

i have then decided to enrol in a photography class this summer or fall. pramis!


just checked my friendster awhile ago and saw these yellow and green crooked arrows in a circle - yellow for girls and greens for guys. hmmm.. checked one friend and has this as our joint horoscope:

good day
You and *toot* are flying high today!
There's nothing wishy-washy about the two of you now, and your combined energy isn't for the faint of heart...

but i have a faint heart!!!
waaaaa...

His Holiness John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
1920 - 2005




• Birth Name: Karol Józef Wojtyła
• Date of Birth: May 18, 1920
• Place of Birth: Wadowice, Poland
• The second of two sons born to Karol Wojtyła and Emilia Kaczorowska.
• Ordained to priesthood on November 1, 1946.
• Became a cardinal on June 26, 1967.
• Elected to the papacy on October 16, 1978.
• First Slavic and non-Italian pope in 455 years.
• The youngest pope at 58 in 132 years.
• The most traveled pope in history going to 170 visits to over 115 countries over the past 20 years.
• Multi-lingual, speaking 8 languages.
• In 1983, Marvel Comics published a Pope biography. He may be the only pope whose life was portrayed in a comic book.
• Before his ordination as a priest, he was a member of an experimental theater group, a stonecutter, a published poet, and a chemical company boiler-tender.
• May be the most atheletic pope who played soccer as a goal-keeper, took daring swims in the flooded Skawa River, and enjoyed skiing, hiking, mountain climbing and kayaking in his youth.


"This world is not capable of making man happy. Prayer and faith can."
- Pope John Paul II

The Pontiff is Dead

And I mourn with the rest of the world.
