"Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, to those who still love although they've been hurt before."

Sunday, March 26, 2006
Books! Books! Books!
After that Jet and I went to Pasig for the Powerbooks Warehouse Sale. Grabe! Nahilo ako sa daming books at nakakahilo rin dahil ang INIT sobra!!! I bought 2 Paulo Coelho books under 50% off (The Pilgrimage and The Fifth Mountain), a Milan Kundera (the one I wanted to buy kaso namamahalan ako for a small book, I was waiting for a sale sa NBS, luckily nauna ang PB mag sale!) under 20% off and a Vogue Make-Up book by Juliet Cohen under 20% off. Jet bought a couple of books about photography, something about rock and roll scandals and a Spanish dictionary, he wants to learn Spanish daw... I wanted to buy more but I couldn’t stand the heat. I guess I’ll be back nalang before April 1. I want the book my Kevin Aucoin. I hope it’ll be there pa by the time I return :(
(I love books. I really love them. Not just books by the authors I like but the book per se. I don’t know why. But when I’m in a library, a good library, I feel happy… Wait! Happy is an understatement… Ecstatic! Is the right word. Basta… Kaya one of my wish is to have a good library here in Quezon City just like in other countries.. Like sa area nila Ate Cindy. Talagang library in every sense.)
Anyways, we didn’t do anything today. Jet’s not feeling okay. We were supposed to watch Nanny McPhee but opted for a drink at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Mga adik sa Japanese Cherry Tea eh! Hehehe! After that, we decided to have dinner dapat at Que Rico, but I said I want a burger, so he bought nalang something from Bite Club. Tapos umuwi na kami. Sa house nalang daw namin kainin. He’s not really feeling okay. Aww…. Buti nalang at hindi matutuloy yung out-of-town nila tomorrow. Pwede syang magpahinga…
Ahhh..... It’s late already and yet sleep wouldn’t descend on me.

Happy Nights
Last night, Jet and I tried Duck Duck ( chinese resto) in Gateway Mall. I read in the newspaper they have good and very affordable foods. They’re right.. Never tasted such good sharks fin dim sum in my life. Favorite ko na sya. The roasted duck is so sinful! I had to refrain from eating the skin… parang kumain ka na rin ng pork. But it was good, really good. During dinner I thought about Jai and quickly sent her a message if she likes to eat dinner with us. Iniisip pala nya if she’s going to work or not. Dahil love daw nya ako, sumunod nalang sya sa amin. After dinner, sabi nya di na daw sya magwowork, layas nalang daw kami. So we did. I remember her telling me that she never been to Baywalk. So I suggested why not go there nalang. As usual, parang weekend dun. Di ata nawawalan ng tao dun kahit anong araw. May mga bands parin at ang daming naglalakad. Nakaabot na kami sa ice monster tapos pabalik na kami nung tinopak si jetong at ginagaya yung mga statue na pag hinulugan mo ng money eh gagalaw. Kalokah yun! At kinunsinte pa ni Jai at sya ang taga hulog kunwari tapos gagalaw si Jet. Tawa kami ng tawa. Sobra! Yung mga tao nakatingin sa amin, may ibang natatawa may ibang nagugulat lang. Nagkastomach cramps ako kakatawa. We had such a good time. Sana maulit ulit.
Hhmm… Lapit na Holy Week… As usual, Jet and I are going to continue our yearly practice, our Bisita Iglesia. This time, madadagdagan kami ng 5 more people. Jai, Ate Tina, Ate Tess, and the kids, Ela and Sara will be going with us. Maybe after the visit, I’ll bring them to Baywalk. I know they’ve never been there (the kids will enjoy the place). I think konti na siguro tao dun kasi holiday. I’m looking forward for this vacation.
Vacation! Gusto kong pumunta ng beach!!!! Whaaa! Kaso walang panahon pa. Just one weekend is all I need! :)
Tomorrow is Mandy’s first birthday. Wala namang party, but I’m going to buy a cake (lite cake from goldilocks, pwede sa dog yun!), I’ll cook spaghetti and vanilla ice cream. Vanilla para pwede mga dogs kong kumain. La naman bisita, I just want to make Mandy feel special on her day! :)
Hay… I miss my friends. It’s been a long long time since we got together. Dapat maka pagplan na ng isang overnight.

What a week...
sUnDAy, Jet and I had “our day” we watched Date Movie. Medyo corny nga eh. Pero pwede nang pagtiagaan.. Hehehe! Went to Tiendesitas. I bought some shoes. Very nice and cheap! After dinner we went home to my place to finish his project, late narin kami natapos. So, puyat.
MoNdAy, I didn’t go out. Bahay lang. But I slept late dahil sa internet na yan.. Nagkadrain-drain na si suzy sa sobrang adik sa internet di ko na napansin… Hehehe! Muntik nang mawalan ng power.
tUeSdAy, dahil walang ginagawa si Jet and I’m bored at home, pumunta nalang sya sa Q.C. at dahil wala kaming magawang dalawa we drove around the metro nalang… Ayaw namin sa mall dahil daming tao. Sabi ko punta kami Nipa Hut Restaurant. Hindi pa nya kasi napupuntahan yung place. Overlooking Pasig City. He loved the place kasi daw relaxing yung view… Parang OL sa Antipolo pero at least itong sa Nipa Hut malapit lang. Di sya makapaniwala na may ganun sa gitna ng city. Hehehe! We had a couple of beers. Sarap ng food at mura pa. We went home late again. So, puyat.
WeDnEsDaY, I went to one of our supplier in San Juan. We had a meeting. Kakapagod at nakaka drain mag-isip lalo na kung ganun ang kausap mo… Medyo nakakaintimidate pero she’s good. Hehehe! Nakakahiya nga e… Ako at ang secretary ko pa ang pinamerienda… Hehehe! Bait naman e. After that meeting which lasted from 2-5:30pm umuwi lang ako sa bahay para maligo ulit at magbihis… At around 7:00pm kasi kami naman ni Jet magkikita. Ewan ko ba dun… problemado lang sa father dear nya… Aw… Maski pagod na ako… okay lang.. he needed someone to talk too… Sabi ko punta nalang kami ng baywalk, kasi di pa ako nakakapunta dun ng ganung oras. Late na nun mga 9:30 na ata. Pagdating dun.. Wow! Daming tao! Nilakad namin ang buong baywalk. Daming makikita kaya hindi nakakapagod. Maaaliw ka… People from all walks of life makikita mo dun. Ito naman si Jet picture ng picture ng kung ano ano. Ako nahihiya e… Hehehe! After that, nag drive drive parin around that area… Sa Mall of Asia.. I didn’t know meron palang Mall of Asia… He said world’s biggest mall daw dito sa Asia, I don’t know if it’s true. Tapos pinakita rin nya school ng sister nya na Manila Doctors na mukha ngang mall o parang country club ang dating e. Aliw! After that, umuwi na kami. Drive thru sa Jollibee but ate it sa parking lot nila. Hehehe! All we did was talk and talk and talk… Walang sawang pag-uusap. By 2am I was at home na. But we still stayed sa garage naman for a few cigs and said goodnight at 2:30 am! Grabe!
tHuRsDaY is payroll day. I was up early, ayos mga papeles. Papers ng suppliers and two employees who are leaving tapos have to go to the bank pa at pumila ng napakahaba! Imagine! When I got there my number was C19 pero they were serving A27 palang! Grabe! Matagal tagal na hintayan yun… Nag lunch break muna kami ng PA ko from 11:45 till 1:30pm Tamang-tama lang naman, when we got back to the bank lapit na number ko. Got home at around 2:30pm, nag start na akong mag payroll… Medyo sleepy at tired narin ako nun. Kulang na nga sa tulog tapos isip ka pa ng isip, diba nakakadrain talaga?! Tapos may dinner pa akong pupuntahan that night. Hay! Hindi naman ako makahindi kasi close friends ko sila and they expect me to be there… Nung natapos ko yung payroll sabi ko iidlip lang ako! Pero when I woke up 7:30 na! Late na! Marikina pa naman yung pupuntahan ko. Ako nalang pala hinihintay para makapagdinner na. After dinner konting kwentuhan tapos inuman na! 4 lang kaming umiinom at naka isang case kami ng redhorse! Grabe!!! Sa awa ng dios… eto buhay pa! As usual hinatid nila ako. Bangenge ang lola mo! Inabot kami ng 2am. Pero masaya naman sobra!
ToDaY, wala kaming work (every Friday) so I woke up super late na… plus with a hangover. Grabe! Sabi ko tamang may amats lang pero not to the extent na hindi ko na maalala kung pano ako naka akyat dito sa room ko kaso sa sobrang saya hindi na namalayan tagay ng tagay! Hehehe!
My dogs I think don’t remember me anymore… Imagine mo naman ilang araw ko na hindi sila nakakasama sa room ko… Dun sila sa yaya nila… Hehehe! Sosyal may yaya pa ang aso! Hindi kasi pwedeng iwan mag isa lang si Lisa.. Naghahanap ng tao yun at hindi titigil sa kakangawa… I miss them na nga e.
Hay nako! It was tiring but it’s all worth it. Kasi you got to spend it with people you like and love. It’s been awhile since naging ganun yung pagkikita namin ni jet na almost everyday nakikita kami and with my friends from Marikina.. tuwing may okasyon lang kami nagkikita. Kaya okay lang…
Ngayon naman si Jai nagaayang magshopping.. Hay! Hopefully di na late kami uuwi! Sana! :) Whaaaa!!!!!!!!! Kaya ko paaa!!!

Understanding Men
Read on…
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys' side of the story. We always hear "the rules" From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
1. Men ARE not mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry,we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine...Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, the shotgun formation, or Basketball.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It'slike camping.

Advice from Oprah about men ...
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behaviour. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
Never move into his mother's house.
Never co-sign for a man.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other women... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.

Saying Sorry
I agree with him when he commented that the argument was a waste of time. Hindi daw sinisiryoso. Hay… Buti nalang. Buti nalang at nasasakyan nya ang mga katopakan ko.
Ewan ko ba. Minsan ganun sya. Okay lang sa kanya mga away namin, minsan naman grabe! Mga three to four days kaming hindi mag-uusap. Papalamig ba. Minsan nga sinasabi ko na hindi ako ang mauunang magsasabi ng sorry o tatawag o magtetext. Kaso the next day, ayun! Wala na. Ako na ang nauna. Kasi naman alam ko namang ako ang unang nangaway… Hehehe!
Hay buhay nga naman. I’m really glad he’s not like other guys na maiksi lang ang pasensya or yung mga tipong sobrang ma-pride na parang nababawasan ang pagkalalake nila pag nagsorry sila o pag nauna silang mag make ng move.
After two years, I’ve seen him changed and mature. I’m happy because despite all the struggles and problems that we encountered none of us gave up. Gusto talaga namin magwork itong relasyon.

Dim-witted me…
We had a fight last night and I don’t know why, I just snapped.
Here’s an excerpt:
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."
