Mga Kasabihan...

A friend emailed me this and I wanted to share it.
Nakakatawa naman kasi.

Ang buhay ay parang bato, it's hard.

Better late than pregnant. (makes sense nga naman)

Behind the clouds are the other clouds.

It's better to cheat than to repeat!

Do unto others... then run!

Kapag puno na ang salop, kumuha na ng ibang salop.

Magbiro ka na sa lasing, magbiro ka na sa bagong gising, 'wag lang sa lasing na bagong gising.

When all else fails, follow instructions.

Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, lumakisa ibang bansa.

To err is human, to errs is humans. (very Erap!)

Ang taong nagigipit... sa bumbay kumakapit.

Pag may usok... may nag-iihaw.

Ang taong naglalakad nang matulin... may utang.

No guts, no glory... no ID, no entry.

Birds of the same feather that prays together... stays together.

Kapag may sinuksok at walang madukot, may nandukot.

Walang matigas na tinapay sa gutom na tao.

Ang taong di marunong lumingon sa kanyang pinanggalingan, may stiff neck.

Birds of the same feather make a good feather duster.

Kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga. Kapag may taga, may tahi.

Huli man daw at magaling, undertime pa rin.

Ang naglalakad ng matulin, late na sa appointment.

Matalino man ang matsing, matsing pa rin.

Better late than later...

Aanhin ang palasyo kung ang nakatira ay kuwago, mabuti pa ang bahay kubo, sa paligid puno ng linga.

Kapag maikli ang kumot, tumangkad ka na!

No man is an island because time is gold.

Hindi lahat ng kumikinang ay ginto... muta lang yan.

Kapag ang puno mabunga... mataba ang lupa!

When it rains...it floods.

Pagkahaba haba man ng prusisyon... mauubusan din ng kandila.

Ang buhay ay parang gulong, minsan nasa ibabaw, minsan nasa vulcanizing shop.

Batu-bato sa langit, ang tamaan... sapul.

Try and try until you succeed... or else try another.

Ako ang nagsaing... iba ang kumain. Diet ako eh.

Huwag magbilang ng manok kung alaga mo ay itik.

Kapag maiksi na ang kumot, bumili ka na ng bago.

If you can't beat them, shoot them.

The Break-up

It's hard when you commit yourself to someone (or in this case, something) and not know what to really expect. What's harder even is exerting all your effort, giving your all then knowing that it's not working afterall.

Getting into the relationship is hard as it is.
You try to establish a common ground. You try to be your best. Be at your best.
At some point, you lose your identity.
The harder you please the other party, the more you lose yourself.
And sometimes, it's draining.
Especially when you realize that it's always you giving.
Always you adjusting.

You cry your heart out.
You feel that you've been had.
You wallow in self-pity.
You let time heal the wound.

Then you tell yourself...
a break-up ain't that bad at all.


And so after being together for 2 years,
I am breaking up with you.

No regrets.
I am too good for you.


***


Friendship is like any other normal relationship.
Communication is needed.
It's a two-way street.
And it shouldn't be imposed.

It's not something that you demand.
It's something you give freely.

If you don't wanna give your friendship anymore,
I'd appreciate the honesty.

If you don't want me around,
just tell me.

I'd take take that any time of the day...
Than having you and your hostility.


ps.
Thanks for the friendship.
I'll surely miss it more than anything else.
I am always praying for you.


It is with deep sadness and regret that I tell you that Ma-an's friendship with C**** died of natural death last June 19th of 2006.
Ma-an tried to rekindle the friendship but to no avail, C**** just gave up on her.
You will be missed.

A night with the two Sheryls in my Life

Nothing beats the feeling of spending quality time with your bestfriends especially if you’re not so having a good day.



I wouldn’t trade the moment for anything in the world.








Cliché’ and all, having your friends around really makes a difference. Friends will always stand by you no matter what. I remember receiving a text once:


“Good friends are friends you can call at 2o’clock in the morning and tell them na nakapatay ka and True friends are those who show up sa house mo at may dalang pala, wala nang tanong tanong, hukay na agad.”








It's true though, no questions asked, true friends will stay with you all the way.

At the end of the dark tunnel, your friends are there in a tricyle.

What I love about Burn and Jovee...

Oh no! Kasama ko na naman sila...

Ano'ng kalokohan na naman kaya gagawin nila...

Hmm... ano lasa ng buhok?
Matikman nga.





Ma-an, the Owner (left) and Jovee, the Pet (right).





What's with the nose Jovee?
Jovee, in a bomb-sniffing stance.






Eto na po sila...





Longest Tongue.
And the winner is Burn.





O sige, seryoso na.






Burn, what's up?


***

Jovee and Burn...

It's not always about the fun that we have when we're all together.
More than anything else, it's the thought that when I'm in deep shit, I can count on you guys.

No whys.
No buts.

As simple as...

At your place
and
What time.

My Simple Pleasures

I've been tagged by one of my bestfriends, She-Anne.


My Top 10 Simple Pleasures

Getting a pedicure and manicure at least every two weeks.

A body massage with John (again, at least every two weeks).

Eating isol (or chicken pwet) from Chicken Bacolod.

An ice cold Coke.

Any good book from a book sale.

A copy of Cosmopolitan on the first day of of the month.

Whiling away my time in the mall looking for anything na I can buy (with John not complainig).

A quality and cam-whoring time spent with friends.

A text, call or email from a friend asking as to how I've been.

Any time spent with John. As long as I'm with him, even if the talk may be nonsense, the gestures may not be that sweet and the setting may not be romantic, as long as I have him beside me, everything is more than alright.

This birthday has been the worst for me.
But it's okay.
Enough of the wallowing, whining and crying.

Hell, I've got my friends and they believe in me.

At the end of the dark tunnel is a tricycle.

Ang buhay, parang gulong, minsan... nasusunog.

It's June 14th...
It's my Birthday...

and it ain't happy at all.

Another night out with two of my dorkiest friends...





















The night out won't be complete without us camwhoring...











At syempre, si Jovee, pa-cute na naman.
Take note Jovee ha, pa-cute, hindi cute!
Stop the delusion na cute ka.










And to cap the night, here's the best shot of all.
Ang pang-Oscars na kuha ni Burn!
Muntik na akong mag-lock jaw sa kakatawa.

Pic(k)s for the Week

The trip to the doctor went well.
I didn't undergo the surgery yet.
My throat is still under observation.
But just the same, they did something painful.
They scraped something off my thoat.
Para ma-prevent daw and nodules.


Enough of the gorry details.

***

And so we went to Boracay last week.
Though masakit throat ko, okay lang.
Enjoyed the vacation just the same.
Good thing it didn't rain.
Thanks Papa Jesus.


I'll let these pictures tell the story...






Inside the plane...










Red Coconut, where we stayed.










Having my henna tattoo.










Chi, showing off his henna tattoo.










Camwhoring under the sun...

How time really flies. It's already June. Rainy season na naman. And of course, birthday na namin ni John. Woohoo!

At this time of the year, I get senti.

As I don't have the luxury to do this all the time, I try to reminisce and evaluate my so-called life.

Am I living my life to the fullest?

So far, I know I am. Cliche' as it may seem, Life is indeed short, that's why we have to live it to the fullest. I try to accomplish all my goals. I live up my dreams. I do things that makes me happy. I try to make people happy.

Am I making my friends, lovedones and all those around me happy?

Well, to be honest, not all the time. But I try. I try to love them with all that I have in my own little way. I may sometimes have a funny way of showing it, but I try to touch their lives as much as they did mine.

Am I happy?

I guess I am. I have an understanding and supportive Family, I have a loving John, I have loyal friends and best of all, I have a very forgiving God. What else could I ask for? Though at trying times I question His will, I wouldn't have it another way.

Sus', enough of the drama...
