April Fools!

priceless reactions!

On Missed Chances

First a three pointer from the top of circle
Second a running shot down the middle
Third a driving lay up from a fumbled play with the time winding down to end the third quarter

BUT none went IN... :(

To add pain to injury... the third quarter ended with a buzzer beater three from the other team.

Despite all the missed chances-- may it be from an attempt or a choice to give others a chance, I would like to think that I played so-so.. since, we W-O-N! :)

On the Transformation

First the color... then the style... and now a pictorial?!?

Is this me? Am I becoming a lady?

Bwahahaha!

So HighSchool

Being with people whom you haven't seen for a long period of time is such a fresh new feeling. Hanging out and exchanging stories is so entertaining --- even if the topic is mostly bitter stuff. Even "partying" that felt so highschool seems alright at that moment. Haha!

Let's do it again.

Fresh Feeling - Eels

You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good
That it is true

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Try
Try to forget what's in the past
Tomorrow is here
Love,
Orange sky above lighting your way
There's nothing to fear

Some people are good
Babe in the 'hood
So pure and so free
I'd make a safe bet
You're gonna get whatever you need

****
Cannot wait for my "fresh feeling"!

Bundat!

Pancake House
Ice Craze
Brazil Brazil!

*burp*

Make Everything Count

Why do people always leave? Why stay even if no one asked to? Why hold on? Why wait for a farewell? Why not leave?

Eventually everyone will go on their own separate paths. Nothing in this world is permanent. Everyone would disappear. Memories are the only things we have... We are merely having a once in a lifetime journey thus we should maximize every moment!

Is it bad to pick the lesser evil?

On Pressure

The bigger the margin the better. If we fail, it will be over! Me sneaking out from work will be put to the drain. All those tiring nights will be put to waste!

Is this pressure I am starting to feel? Am I subconsciously feeling the burden of some kind of mental distress?

Eeep.

I better clear my mind and focus on a certain goal. Sleep early. Practice on my 3's. Run. Visualize. Pray.

This is it! 3 more days!

On a Car Accident that Involve an Irresponsible Person

Read this.

and this:


Super hassle! In fairness the "pareho naman tayong Kristyano" lawyer handled the situation better even if he acted like a jerk at first. He paid what was due in an instant.

This is all I can say... Niko Peralta, be responsible for what you did. You just don't know what may happen to you...

Not So Holy Week

For my whole existence I've spent the Lenten season with my family. Usually we'd head towards the mountains. However, due to the numerous creatures that trek up North we'd hit the waters or cherish the silence in the City.

This year, I had a different experience. For Holy Thursday and Good Friday, I headed to Zambales with some of my officemates. Black Saturday and Easter Sunday was spent with my family at Sofitel Hotel. La Union on Monday and Tuesday.

Hello to island hopping, swimming, eating, relaxing, drinking, cam whoring, jumping pictures, blah blah. This is the life! Good times! Too bad, back to reality tomorrow.

Oh well. Have to work my ass to get some moolah for more trips. :)

Okay, try to make myself better. :D

Makahiya

There is something I secretly watch from afar. I long to see the beauty it possesses. Patiently, I wait for it to be ready. As time pass by, my hope slowly diminishes. But like a flower, it suddenly blooms when least expected.

So what am I to do? Admire its beauty from afar or come closer to appreciate it more?

However, what if it turns out to be a makahiya? Should I wait again for it to blossom?

Labo mo woman!

Still Looking

Why search for things that you know would hurt you?

Weather Whether Lang

Darn! The weather is such a pain in the *tooot*! It is soooo hoooot and humid! Is summer really here? But suddenly it rains! Damn you!

Why do you have to be so unpredictable?

Paintball

Maximize March Agenda the other day: PAINTBALL

Tick Tock

What would you do if you find out that the clock is about to stop ticking?

Maximize March.

Thus the impromtu dinner at Lie Ching. This time we made it on time. Finally, I was de-virginized by their Chinese food! Spareribs, hakaw, chicken feet, ravioli soup, soy milk! You name it, delicious! Bundat gallore! We were the ones who closed the restaurant. :) Afterwards, like what happened previously when we our stomaches are full... never ending laughter.

Did I mention that we had tons of kamote cue for merienda?

Next stop...

Thursday Night

We were supposed to eat in this Chinese resto in GH but when we arrived it was already closed. To bad I wasn't de-virginized. So we headed to Q Ave for Kabab. It took us around an hour and a half and like only 30mins to eat. I guess we were that hungry.

Afterwards, we were supposed to go to this comedy bar since my officemate had this stub. We were excited to see Booba, but too bad it wasn't a free stub, it was a discount stub. So, headed to my place nalang for WIInuman.

Quotable Quotes:
Pe-ti-TE!
Pi-pe La-ying!
Patay na si Pope John Paul?!?

I guess that is the effect of the food.

The night ended early because nagbrownout while watching AI! Ayos lang, it was a Thursday!

Masarap ang Libre!

Beautiful

Me a candidate for some beauty contest?!?
Me a muse of some sort?!?

Huwhat!?! Come on, no games please.

Get Up and Stand Up

May it be 30 or a single point... what matters is the outcome.
Bottom line is.. we LOST!

It was not only the game, but also the season for one of us.
Sad, I know. But what can be done?

Pick up the remaining pieces. Get up and stand up!

Not My Type

yosi... drunkard...

but if you can carry a good conversation, why not?

Bakit kasi mahilig magpaka-FPJ?

Why do we always put ourselves in helpless situations? Why do we want to take the long and strenuous road? Why do we love to get in a deep hole?

Why waste time and wait when it is almost over before we show some sort of desire? Why do we have a tendency of falling behind and at the last few moments that is when we get up and fight?

Instead, why not fight and give it our all right at the start?

Bakit kasi mahilig magpaka-FPJ? Pwede rin ERAP? Yung tipong magpapadehado muna at magpapalampos bago babawi at lalaban.

Then again, the reality is even if how hard we give it our 110% there is no guarantee of ending on top when everything is over.

Masakit man tanggapin pero ayun ang katotohanan.

What Happens After Office

First stop was a birthday dinner. Initially, the plan was to have it in an American restaurant. But due to the political situation of the country we ate in the land of seafoods. It was definitely a good decision! We arrived on time. Food came in non-stop. There was this soup with small calms, calamares, huge sweet and sour fish, sinigang na pla-pla, baked tahong, oysters, tempura and CRABS! Boy, I was so confused to which one to attack first. Knowing me, I am not the type of person who would mix and match various food all at the same time. I am this one at a time kind of person. I am not a playful person na pinagsasabay. There was period that I felt that I was being punished or they were preparing to "grill" me due to all the food available. Ang sarap!

Everything was perfect. Good food plus great company. I was with people whom I haven't spent time outside the office. Laugh trip. It made me wonder if the food was spiked! The best part was no so-called guilt afterwards since it was a Friday.

Side note:
After dinner, we walked around the area to make the food go down. This guy bought gum which he offered. He extended his hand and 3 boys got who was followed by 3 ladies. However, there were only 2 left. I guess hiya prevailed and the 3 ladies took 2 steps back. The this woman came out of nowhere and said.. akin nalang and got the gum who was followed by another lady subsequently. Lesson learned, hiya would bring you no where.

Next stop was this wine tasting event. Headed to Malate. The place was different. It was hidden in the midst of all the bars which gave it an exclusive and safe atmosphere. There were like 9 bottles. I got "schooled" on how to drink wine, how to slurp, how wines are processed and how to identify which is which. Yeah, I was feeling classy at that instant. Then again, it needs many many years to be a master of this craft.

There were many happy people around. Never ending singing and at times with matching dance number on the side. Probably the wine kicked in.

I did not want to leave yet but I had to since someone will make tampo. The last stop... Makati for this birthday bash / despidida. When I arrived, only one celebrant was left. Whoops. But it was all good. More drinks, more songs and more conversations. They are really a group who I can call family. Nakanaman.

So this is what happens after office on a Friday night.
