monday thoughts

so its been a while since my last post. we dont have internet yet. i dunno why. so yup, i still have to go to the library to check my mails. i finally got to fax the documents needed for me to get financial aid. i dunno what will happen next. i dunno if i'll get in to harrington. its ok if i dont, it means its not for me. i have another option, and for me, its a better one. AUP it is! LOL. its still the best school i could think of right now. LOL.

im tryin to find an apartment for me and corrie. we're planning to be roommates when she moves in chicago. i think that would be awesome and fun. except for the bills and the rent. hah!

what else. today i worked as always, i even worked last saturday. ive been so busy lately. and my "cousin" meg is driving me crazy. LOL. im always out of the house. on wednesday i might have to go downtown for a workshop. its a free workshop for future students of harrington. so yup, im planning to go. goodthing i only have to work til 4pm. i still have time to commute.

im still missin my friends. i knew this would happen to me if i go and watch the amba. LOL. they made me wanna go back home to AUP. and study there. LOL. im pretty much bein random right now. i dont like it when people are looking or watching me while im writing my blog. its ridiculous.

oh yeah, i saw this girl at work again. LOL. it reminds me of one of christian bautista's song. "there's somethin in the way, you look at me" OMGSHH im bein so cheesy right now. LOL. or maybe im just bein pathetic. LOL. but yeah, i'll tell the story next time. i still have a lot of things to write. i need a major update. hah! and i wanna do it in private.

so yup, thats it for now. ^_*

trip to michigan recaps

im super tired and overwhelmed. i had a pretty long weekend, it was awesome, i got to see a lot of friends and former schoolmates in AUP.

meeting corrie
it was so random, i was walkin outside lamson hall ( girls dorm) and i just heard someone calling my name. LOL. it was corrie, my friend in facebook. i havent seen here in person before but she said she saw me in AUP already. she was so nice, and pretty. i thought she was from cebu, coz of her accent, but later i found out that she's indonesian and she's also madielyn garcia's friend. and yeah, she was also a former member of unceasing cantica. she's awesome =]

the surprise/ tata's birthday
ok, no one know that my trip pushed through, i told ate arnie that im no longer coming to andrews, but yeah, i still did. because its also tata's birthday. so yup, after my long tiring trip from chicago, i went stright to ate arnie's place. no one's home. i tried looking for ate irene in the dormitory but i found out that she doesnt live there. good thing i have the phone number of tata's host. so i called and told auntie cora not to tell tata that im coming over. so yup, i went there and i was really excited seeing tata again and also her housemates, sugar, asyll and sherry. i drove them to howards.

the concert

ok, i was at the back stage with the ambassadors, thats when i saw deemo and enan, they were actually surprised to see me. deemo was still doin her make up and enan was changing to his uniform. kuya boj was there too. they were about to do sound check, so i went to listen and to take some pics. but i dont wanna stay and listen to them rehearsing, i dont wanna spoil the concert, they have a new repertoire now. it was great, but not as fun as the old repertoire. but i like it both. kuya homer asked me to take videos for them, so i did. i got to see the concert for free too. and i was sitting by ate love geraldez, we we're like so homesick together, and we we're chatting discreetly while the concert was on going. the usherette approached us, and told us that we're bein noisy. LOL. there's two songs from the repertoire that sticks out as my fave, one day more, from les miserables and galawgaw. carmi was really great.

ok i wanna write more but i have to go for now. im gonna put up pictures next time. i wanna go home and rest. im actually in the library. LOL. so yup, ciao!

quick random post

ok, its sabbath day and im in the library. well, i went to church this morning but i dint get to listen to the sermon, i had to go with my cousin to a catholic church. it was long story. but we did went back to church to talk to pastor arner and we stayed for potluck too. so right now im in the library because my "cousin" meg has to use the internet. she's having tough times right now and its the least i could do to help her.

i also printed some pages from mapquest. i wanna go to andrews tomorrow so i searched for directions. what else, hmm, last night i got to talk to tata, cham and nene. it's gonna be tata's birthday tomorrow, and their concert will be tomorrow too. i hope i could make it. i might ask melissa to come with me. but i havent talked to her yet, so i think there would be less chances that she could come. so yup, thats all for now. this is a random post. lol im not really planning of writing somethin but since im bein bored and im already here, well, why not. so yup. more updates to coem. hopefully^^

offline.

we no longer have internet connection and homephone. it got cut off the other day. not a good timing since im on the peak of my enrollment process. i need a lot of paperworks and school credentials to submit and get online. im in the public library right now. finally, more reason to be here. i was always procrastinating of goin to the library. finally i made it happen. yey! hah!

im a bit worried about my enrollment, i hope i could get in to school this term. and also, i hope to get FAFSA too. i cant afford school with or without it. OMGSHH. sometimes i wish i was born rich. LOL. but im just a poor kid, wit big dreams. LOL im bein cheesy =P

what else, hmm, this week has been ok. i had pop and i ate junk food this week. so i guess, that makes me an unhealthy person.


anyways, my time is almost up. til here for now =P

ecstatic.

i had only 4 hours of work today and tomorrow is my day off. but i cant go anywhere since im so broke. paycheck comes in friday. so yup, i cant think of anythin fun to do tomorrow. i was supposed to shop but since we had lots of drama last monday, i spent all my money to get a new phone for my brother. long story and its not a touching story. but oh well, its beyond me now. im done with it. i also had to pay for my application fees and other stuff for school. yes im applying for a school. a design school donwtown. i went there last saturday and i dint go to church again. i felt so bad. but it was my only chance. i dunno.

but anyways, i got a call from two of my bestest friends. josh and tata. it was so random, i wasnt expecting any calls from them. but yeah it was all good. and i needed it. im havin a tough week and it feels so great to talk to both of them. the only thing is im tryin to talk to both off them at the same time! LOL. josh on the cellphone and tata on homephone. that was funny. i got in bed at 5:30am. hows that? lol how i miss them so much. me and tata used to stay up late, talkin bout a lot of stuff. it was crazy. same thing with josh too.

im still figuring out how i would get to MI this weekend. i told ate arnie that im not goin anymore but after talkin to tata, my mind has changed a bit. so yup. i dunno what to do. im planning to drive but that would be very risky, well, for me. im not really used to long driving. but we'll see what happens =P

toua

"...But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother". Proverbs 18:24

yup, that would definitely be josh, or toua. sometimes i do miss my male friends too. lol. especially this guy. he's like a brother to me. one of my greatest friend and best duet partner ever. hah! i miss our tdot days, singing duets, driving a lot, shopping, eating, planning, playing computer games, running, dancing, cooking and experimenting weird food, swimming, goin blonde, bein obsessed wit chozen, laughing, crying, watching a million movies, modelling, and a lot more. *sigh* GOODTIMES!

happy birthday naj, enan and madz


wit madz and naj during my tdot and chozen days

three of my closest friends celebrates their birthday today and yesterday. well, since its already 12-ish i would say that instead of today and tomorrow. LOL. yeah, madz birthday was on the 8th and naj's and enan's is today, the 9th.

naj and madz is also part of chozen. they are the pioneers actually. and they are neighbors too, it was really awesome gettin to meet these girls. tehy are my girlfriends. hah!

enan is my friend since highschool. he's currently somewhere in california right now having a tour with the AUP ambassadors. we also had an acappella group in highschool. i havent seen him in like ages. lol. i might see him soon though, hopefully i'd make it to michigan when they go there this month as part of their US tour.

ruthee turns 15


today is ruth's birthday. she's like my little sister in tdot. i miss her so much! *sigh*

wake up call


i was kinda sad and frustrated a while ago. it was because my bank account was overdrawn and i have to pay for fees. i felt like i wasted a lot of money. well, sort of. but yeah, i could have used it for other stuff. but anyways, maybe its just a wake up call for me. its hard to explain but i think God did it on purpose. maybe im bad in handling money and God wanted me to learn something. money should not control us. we should control our money. but anyways, that will pass. i remember back in my toronto days when i had limited allowance. i was happy and content. maybe thats what God wants me to realize, that i have to be happy and content with what i have. but i dunno, they said that its human nature not to be contented, well i kinda agree but i think if we focus on the material world, thats really true. but i still believe that God should be my everything. our everything.

Life is really like a school. we learn things everyday.

happy

today was tiring. labor day weekend was labor days for me. LOL. but its ok. i have nothin to do at home anyway and we dont really celebrate it. so i guess its better to be workin than just bein a bum. LOL. i was tryin to eat a lot today. even at work, i bought a pack of cookies that my mom used to get back in the philippines. i was eating while working. hows that. LOL. and i got this protein smoothie at my workplace, i just thought it would be nice for me to try somethin new. but it dint work for me i guess. i think it taste funny. like i wanna throw up. but anyways, i really have to gain weight and bulk up.

anyways, on the best part of my day, i got to talk with ate shelly and josh. two of my greatest friend ever and co-members of chozen. it was always nice talkin to them. i talk to ate shelly everytime i have a chance to call her. but im glad that finally i got to talk to josh. we havent talked since i left toronto. i got good and bad news from him. but i trust that guy so i know he could get through whatever he is in right now. and im also happy for everything that he's achieved in life. he's like a brother to me. i miss our times together, he's my best duet partner and my closest friend. i hope to see him again soon. we might see each other in october, he might come here to chicago, if not i might be the one to go to toronto instead. whatever works. but he told me that i should spend my birthday and christmas with them in toronto. and actually that was really my plan. LOL. i hope it would push through.

random updates


its labor day weekend. and i have to do some labor. LOL. i havent written in a million years but im glad that now i have time to do so. last week has been really busy. dhen, my highschool batchmate and friend was in the area. we hanged out last tuesday and wednesday. we got to watch housebunny and sisterhood of the travelling pants with my bro. yeah, i watched two chick flicks in a row. LOL. hmm what else.. so yeah, i was "busy" i had no time to go online or even do my workouts. oh yeah i get to see michelle hall too. she was here the whole week for her job i think. its great to see old friends.

sometimes sadness is still tryin to kill me. i dunno why i always get to a point where im so sad and lonely. speaking of lonely, finally i get to talk to josh. he's back in tdot now from his trip to philippines. he said he's bein a loner. which i kinda understand. i just hope he'll be ok soon. and i hope i'll be ok soon too.

oh yeah on saturday after church, me and auntie maybelle decided to go to a buffet for lunch. but it took me a while to get to royal buffet in 75th since we kinda got lost. we ended up goin to a highway. i was so scared since i thought i had no coins for tolls and i dont have i-pass. LOL. but i tried to keep my cool. coz i dont wanna make auntie maybelle uncomfortable. but goodthing the exit wasnt that far. we just had to go back to 63rd though. LOL. but yeah, we made it to the buffet. ^_*

hmm. im not sure if my audition this friday would push through. i was scheduled to work and i dont think i could change it or ask someone to work for me. *sigh* i dunno. i still have to talk to belinda today and see if i could do somethin about it.

so i guess this is all for now. i wanna write more but im in a hurry. im cooking somethin and it might be over cooked. LOL. ciao.
