Me and My Lakwatserang Feet


Sabi ni John, lakwatsera daw ako kasi may nunal ako sa paa.

O sige na, lakwatsera na kung lakwatsera.

Kaya nga excited ako sa lakad ko on Friday e.

I'm going to Glorietta. I'm planning to look for a couple of books. Wish ko lang meron sa Powerbooks or maski sa National Bookstore. For the longest time, I've been looking for Slow Burn (Julie Garwood) and Every Breath You Take (Judith Mcnaught). Then I found out na may new release si Julie, Shadow Dance. I hope I get lucky finding these books.

I'm going to have dinner with my high school besties. Well, actually, yung isa di pa sigurado. I just hope she makes it. Seems like we've got lots of catching up to do.

For Saturday, no plans as of yet. Di ko sure kung tuloy yung appointment namin for a massage. After that, watch siguro ng movie. Last week ko pa gustong manood ng The Devil Wears Prada. (We went to La Union and Baguio last weekend kasi).

Sunday, anything goes. Bahala na kung saan ako dalhin ng mga paa ko.

See, I'm not much of a lakwatsera naman pala.

Buhay Pa Naman Ako...

It's been a while.

Sa mga nagtatanong, buhay pa naman ako. Contrary to the rumors, hindi po ako pumunta or pupunta sa Japan para maging dancer. Lol. I'm still very much here in my beloved 'Pinas.

Sa mga nagtatanong, I am doing good. Still adjusting but very much fine naman po.

Sa mga na-miss ako, na-mi-miss ko na rin kayo. One of these days, I'll get my schedule fixed and I will let you guys know. Magkikita-kits rin tayo soon.



I found out that one of my friends is now pregnant. She migrated to the States with her husband and they've been married for almost 5 years now (I hope I'm right on this). I've always believed that life is always about making choices. She probably made the biggest one when she decided to get married and live in another country. I think it's different if Pinoy rin mapapangasawa mo kasi in a way, pareho kayo. Unlike if you're marrying a foreigner, kasi it's gonna be another culture na you have to accept and adjust to. I'm sure she never regretted that one big decision she made cos it's very evident that she's having the time of her life.

I am so happy that she shared this good news to me. I'm sure she'll make a great mom. I wish her all the best.



I read in a friend's blog that finally, she is ready to tie the knot. Nakakatuwa lang kasi a couple of weeks back, we were reminiscing about our past so-called mistakes. Yung ex nya nad ex ko are actually the best of friends. We agreed na it was a blessing in disguise that we didn't end up with these exes. Had it been na we're still with these guys, life won't be the same.

I wouldn't meet John and my friend won't be tying the knot with the man she's destined to be with.

Period.



It's almost a year since she passed away.

Sorry kung di ko matandaan yung date ha, I hope you don't take this against me. That date is something na I wouldn't like to mark on my calendar, pero promise, yung birthday mo, naka-marka pa rin sa planner at calendar ng phone ko.

I choose to remember you as the friend na hindi ko naman talaga ka-close and yet, I didn't have problems sharing my burdens with you. I didn't have problems being true with you kasi alam ko, maiintindihan mo ako.

You are missed.



Yung mga kaibigan na namatay na, kadalasan, namimiss natin.

E pano naman yung mga buhay na buhay pa pero super sa deadma, tinalo pa yung nasa kabilang buhay na?

Ako, sa umpisa, namimiss ko din sila. I even try to come up with ways para magparamdam ulit sila. Minsan pa nga, may pagka-paranoid pa ako. Iniisip ko, I may have done something wrong kaya di na sila nagpaparamdam. At syempre pa, with that in my mind, mega sorry naman ako. Kaso, etong si friend (kuno), deadma pa rin. Aba, that's the time naman na I realize na, teke, teka, I don't think is my fault. Oo paranoid ako, pero ikaw, ano ka?

Buhay na buhay ka pa pero tinalo mo pa sila na wala na kung mang-deadma.

Gaya nila, ipagdarasal na nga lang din kita.

Hay.



Done with the training. Production, here we come.



'till later...

I Miss...

...blogging and net surfing. I wish I have all the time in the world. Who would have thought that just 3 weeks ago, I was getting paid to surf the net and bum around.



...hanging out with my cousins in our province. Deep down inside, may promdi side ako, I know! When I was in High School, I'd rather go home to the province than be stuck in Manila. I had my fair share of prusisyons and sagalas. Eating bibingka and barbeque in front of the church after a Sunday afternoon mass. Eating Indian mangoes on top of the roof (and I must say, I had the hardest time of climbing up that darned tree!) The wantusawa ghost stories in the bukid (my mamang and papang's house in the well... bukid). Argh... I'd give up anything just to be back in those days.



...hanging out with my FRIENDS. Be it those my Highschool Bestfriends or my HSBC friends. Heck, pati na rin Bangags. I miss chillin' out with them. I miss their kwentos and chismises. I miss them... a lot!



...having a vacation. Gawd, last time I took one was last May lang. Seems like ages ago. I want to unwind. I want to go somewhere. Kahit saan. Soon.



I know that there's a lot that I've been missing. Oblivious lang siguro ako at this time dahil I am so occupied.

At gaya nga nung kanta, Late at night when all the world is sleeping... I'd come up with all those things that I am missing. And when I have the time, idadagdag ko dito. *wink wink



***

We went to Mall of Asia last Sunday. I didn't enjoy my first visit. Siguro dahil super daming tao and I didn't now where to look for what. Give it more time and I'm sure, it'll grow in me.



***

I was watching ASAP's tribute to Apo Hiking Society last Sunday and I can't help but be emotional when the three sang "San na nga ba". Oh well, emotional naman talaga ako forever pero I was really teary eyed during their production number. Nakakaantig naman kasi talaga.



Later!

I'd Rather...

I'd Rather.

Another product of another unproductive day at the office.

I'd rather eat at Tony Roma's than Melo's. The price is almost the same pero the taste is world's apart. Based on experience ha.

I'd rather use Pantene than Creamsilk. Mas hiyang kasi buhok ko e.

I'd rather spend more buying Havs than buy those cheaper slippers. Kasi naman bad experience for me. May nabili nga ko na slip on na super mura (100 pesoses lang) kaso naman, nasugat paa ko. Kainis! Never ulit na bili ako ng hindi Havaianas.

I'd rather be with one person that I trust than with a bunch of people na fake naman lahat! In times of trouble or happiness, mas gusto ko na kasama yung tao na I'm very open with. I wouldn't fear exposing myself nor sharing too much. No questions asked, that person will take me as I am. What will I do with a group of people na puro pretensions, baka mabwisit lang ako.

I'd rather have an engagement with THE ring than engaged agad muna then the ring is to follow. Haller! Sabihin nyo na na materialistic ako, siguro nga (pero hindi naman talaga). E gusto ko ng engagement ring e. I've been dreaming of that since bata pa ako. No ring, no engagement. Tapos.

I'd rather be the one who got away than the one who let go. For me, parang mas masakit yung latter. I'm the type of person na mas mauunang umalis kesa maiwan sa wala. I dunno. Self preservation perhaps?

I'd rather drink a not-so-cold Coke than an iced cold Pepsi (or Iced tea or kung ano pa man).

I'd rather have coffee somewhere than to a crowded bar with friends. This way, mas madali at mas masarap makipagkwentuhan.

I'd rather buy a cheaper item na okay naman ang design and quality than buy a designer something na super exorbitant ang price.

I'd rather have a so-so wedding with the man of my dreams than have the wedding of my dreams with a so-so man.

I'd rather be harsh and be honest than be a hypocrite and sugarcoat something na unacceptable naman. If I'm gonna be labeled bruha (or maldita, or kung ano man) because of that, so be it at least honest ako.

I'd rather clean the toilet and wash the dishes than clean the house.

I'd rather watch CSI Las Vegas than CSI Miami. Di ko type dramatic charcter ni Horacio e.

I'd rather dip my spam to mayonnaise than catsup.

I'd rather go to Disneyland Hong Kong than Boracay next summer.

I'd rather have a dog than a cat for a pet.

I'd rather have a liposuction than a nose job. Mas ok na pango ako basta may bewang. Lol.

Lastly, I'd rather be this Ma-an than any other Ma-an. I wouldn't have myself any other way. Hahaha. Ü
