Vacation...aaargh... this day proves to be one of those longest day ever... and the hours seem to just stretch out till forever... i am still at work so to speak, when i should've been home and packing my swimsuits etc... Gosh! I have so many things to pack!!!! I'm panicking now... Hopefully I won't end up panic shopping again, which i usually do - and have a feeling will mostly likely be doing tomorrow... In addition to that, I'm not feeling very well... My body knows that my vacation is already up, and my body is just tethering for a shutdown and screaming for reboot so to IT speak... AND I have this "date" to go to as well!!! I haven't even thought about what to wear for that... Goodness!!! And tomorrow's casual friday as well!!!! Goddamnit!!! What in the world am I gonna wear!!! And I have to organize my schedule, time etc.... Argggggh!!!!!
PANICK!
PANICK!
PANICK!

: : goddamnit : :

I just wrote a really long entry and my pc crashed.... FUCK!

: : Friday Night Out : :

* Friday - my shift was from 6am to 6pm... a colleague of mine was on leave so had to cover the shift... I didn't really have plans then, just the usual I guess with some office mates - dinner, supposed to watch a movie, then some drinks. But as it turned out, the night turned out to be a drinking spree session!!!
It was the last day for one of our boss, so we had the IT farewell drinks at a nearby restaurant. And when I say IT drinking session, I meant the heavy drinking session... Shortly after ten, we headed off to Temple Bar. One of our colleagues happened to be friends with the owner so we headed off to the VIP Lounge section. Natch I must say! We had drinks, and more drinks, and even more drinks... And the best part for me was that I got to DANCE the night away. And boy did I dance up a storm! :-D
It was a FUN night I must say...
But Damn... I'm on graveyard shift this week.. I can't go out this weekend, or anytime this week... Bummer...
My sister pointed out to me that I've been going out a lot lately, and not just on weekends... True... Which means that my alcohol intake these past few weeks is a lot as well... But then again, no problem, my tolerance for alcohol is quite high as I just found out... I guess I've been hanging out too much with the boys... And so is my girl Pia!
Life...
Life's too good...

: : 52% Evil Me... : :

I am 52% evil.




I'm getting there. I haven't done all the damage I could do but I've done quite a bit. I'm just over the border into the Evil Zone.

: : Carnival! & High School : :

I can't wait for Carnival Time! Trinidad here I come (Again! For the third time since 97!) I really do hope things push thru for then... Not just because of Carnival, but also because I'll be meeting up with some dear high school friends... It's been too long since the last time I saw these guys... My bestfriend in high school left for Miami to go to university even before I left, so I haven't seen her in about 7 or 8 years to say the least... Same goes for my best buddy whom I last saw Carnival time of '97! Damn... I'll also be meeting up with a couple of my girlfriends, and will most likely bump into the usual crowd of the GT crew (old flames all included, har har). This is one vacation I'll surely remember for a looong time.

It will be really interesting to see familiar faces from my past... To see how much they have changed or not... If they'll recognize me still, or if I them. 6 years is a long time.

High School in Queen's College was definitely an unforgettable experience for me. I had a lot of firsts in that school... First boyfriend... First kiss... First time my parents had to report to the Headmistress!!! First time I had difficulty with academics - especially Chemistry! That's why I did the Business stream... First time to be on the gossip Hot List... First taste of alcohol, cigarettes, and junkies... First PARTIES!!! Damn - MEMORIES... Both good and bad... Friends, Enemies, and lovers... We had the whole "Saved by the Bell" mixed with the "Bold & the Beautiful" and "Young and the Restless" life story!!! We had boyfriends whom we make up to break up and break up to make up (as we used to say)! Infamous phone calls the WHOLE DAY!... There was always some fair or cake sale to go to every week, not to mention Palm Court on a Friday, and Nightflight afterwards, etc. Parties that make the headlines of the gossip columns- couples evolve in here... they are either made here, or broken, or a whole different long drawn out stoooooory. The famous "who kissed who?". Not to mention the Fashion Police! "Didya see what she was wearing???". There's a time when everybody would be at the Creek, or up in the Races - drag race, dirt bike racing, and go-carts... The dinners every week at somebody else's house... The sleep overs!!!! The unending boy problems - the quarrels, the fights, the making up part, meeting the parents, and what nots... Those were definitely the good old days.

: : raves & rantings by ME : :

* My whole face is peeling!!!! Grrr... I went to a derm clinic to have a facial a week ago and now my face is peeling and it stings like mad... Goodness... And I'm supposed to have a date tonight!!! What a major nightmare!!!! My face is all red and blotchy... What the hell am I gonna do????
I don't feel like going anymore....

* Went to Red Box last night to attend this office thingy that we had... A despedida to two of our bosses, and a welcome party for our new incoming boss... And today, I had to be back to work as early as 6am... Surreal...

* I bought two cute tops yesterday. =) A black(another black one) snug baby polo shirt, and a comfy pink(and yet another pink one!) shirt with the phrase "Careless in the past" on it... LOL
I have too many black tops come to think of it.... I have a whole stack of just black shirts... Sleeveless tanks... Sleeveless shirts... Round-neck.. Cowl-neck... Turtle neck... V-neck... Short sleeves... Long sleeves.... 3/4 shirts... A wrap shirt... Halters... Blouses... Stripes... Get the picture? What can I say, it's a classic... Perfect when you can't think of anything else to wear... Goes well with anything...
I've also noticed that I'm beginning to acquire a lot of pink shirts - in various shades and what-nots... =D My pink shirts are beginning to be my new black...

* I haven't been regularly going to the gym this past week... And that doesn't go well especially since I had a bingeing spree over Fiesta the other day... Not good at all...

* Played volleyball last Tuesday for our team in our office tournament and we won! Yey! But of course that was expected, considering the fact that we are the 3-year standing champion, and that we haven't lost a game - ever... Our team captain put me to play on set 2 and 3, and now, boy does my hand hurt from service... it's red and bruised... It looks bent now too...

* LA SALLE WON THE UAAP CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Yeah baby!!!! Animo La Salle!!! Talk about a great season! From turning a losing streak to a golden winning streak straight to the finals! Cardona is the man! MVP or no MVP, he's the BEST! Hehe *

* ;-) A lot of people seem to think that I seem to be "blooming" as they call it, these past few weeks... Hmmm.... HUH???? I tell them it's this new blush that I'm raving about... But they won't buy it... Oh well...

* I'M NOT... I know I'm NOT... LOL

: : more on this L thing... : :

something

If you see me walking the road with someone else
It's not because I like his company
Its because you're not brave enough to walkbeside me.
If you hear me talking about him all the time
Its not because he pleases me
Its because you're too deaf to hear my heartbeat
If you feel me falling with someone new
Its not because I love him
Its because you're not there to catch me if I fall
If you feel lost, I too am nowhere
I too don't know where the road is going
Are we gonna cross each other's path
Or just completely turn around?
Will we just let go of what we had
Or go to the place where love is bound
Don't let me walk with him
Its you I want to walk with
Don't let me talk of him
Its you I want to talk with
Don't let me fall for him
Its you I want to fall in love with.

-the answer-

When you thought I wasn't brave enough to walk beside you
I was behind you every step of the way
Still filled with awe because of the beauty that stands before me
When you thought I was too deaf to hear your heartbeat
I didn't want to assume anything
And I was afraid to lose our friendship
When you thought I wasn't there to catch you
It was because you never gave me the chance
You never reached the bottom, you've already grabbed a branch
If you feel like you are nowhere, I too am lost
I too don't know where the road is going
Are we just going to turn around,
Or are we gonna cross each other's path?
Will we just let go of what we had
Or go to the place where love is bound?
Don't let me walk alone
I want to walk by your side
Don't let me talk of something else
Its you I want to talk with
Don't let me fall for someone else
Its you I want to fall in love with.

"There are some people who meet that
somebody that they can never stop loving, no
matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect
you to understand that, or even believe it, but
trust me, there are some love that don't go
away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but
we should all be lucky to end up with that
somebody who has a little of that insanity.
Somebody who never lets go.
Somebody who cherishes you forever.

and another one to ponder on...


Love & Commitment

Message: The most important, most critical component in
successful loving is commitment. Not love.

It's easy to love without commitment. People do it
all the time. Easy to love, to give of oneself
for a while. But commitment implies bonding in
such a way that one promises to keep the fires of
love burning indefinitely. It also means shutting
one's heart to the possibility of loving another
who might even be more attractive, even more
lovable. Not easy. This is why solid commitments
are not at all as common as we are led to believe.
In fact, more often than not, I think
that the commitment two lovers make are not
equal. What I mean is that the commitment of one
might be a whole lot more or a whole lot less than
the partner's. We see it all the time. One
loves more than the other and is more committed
than the other. We have often seen lopsided love
relationships where one partner is giving so much
more to the relationship than the other.

But writers and poets seem to always indicate
that
love isn't just a two-way street, but an
equal two-way street. That hardly ever happens. It
is impossible to determine exactly how much a
man loves a woman or how much a woman cares
for a man. Love cannot be measured and that can
be a
huge problem. You can love someone and tell
him "I love you" and you're telling the truth.
But how much do you love him? Enough to let him
court you? Enough to marry him? Enough to die for
him? THE GREATEST TEST OF TRUE LOVE is
commitment. And the greatest indicator of deep
love is deep commitment. I have heard people
say
all the right words, make all the right moves and
pledge undying love, only to walk away weeks or
months later. Were they in love? Sure they were.
But not enough to allow them to hold strong in their
love. Not enough to keep a commitment
regardless of the pain.

Lover gets this sinking feeling when there is a
sense that one is more committed than the other.
When one is giving a lot more than one is
receiving. When one's love is a lot more solid
than the creaky love of the partner. When a couple
believe strongly that their commitment to
each other is rock solid, there is a deep sense of
security, a feeling that it's OK to give all
because the gift of yourself is safe in the hands of
the beloved. If, however, there is doubt or,
even worse, the conviction that one is engaged in
one-way giving, in a one-way commitment that is
lopsided, then there is a tendency to pull back and
not give as much. And when that happens, love
begins to fade.
