the answer to my prayers

last night while alvin and i were at the living room, he told me that "God answers our prayers through the people around us". i was half asleep when he said that to me. i think i said "that was nice" until i finally fell asleep (with my head leaning on his shoulder). he woke me up a few minutes after and said that he'd go home already because it was getting late. before he left he asked me if i remembered the things he said earlier, i said no because i fell asleep. he repeated the quote to me and then i hugged him super tight. i cried. he is God's answer to all my prayers. alvin didnt leave yet. we still talked for a while, pouring our hearts out to each other. i know its mushy or too cheesy but that moment was just wonderful. it was perfect. before he left, i told him that i asked God to help me become a better person and that he answered my prayer through Alvin because he is such a nice and loving person that all the positive adjectives in the world would not be enough to describe him. He ain't perfect but he's the closest to perfection that i can have...


i love you alvin jay... <3

a child with no home

during my break i went to starbucks to study and have coffee. i went there alone because alvin had a meeting with his coach and frankie. when i got to starbucks, i ordered my frappe, took a seat, and read my philo readings on the discourse. after consuming half of my drink, i had to go to the lavatory. when i was on my way back top my seat, i saw bianca, my former teammate.

bianca is someone i always see at starbucks. she was there studying for her electives. two more electives and her masters is done! anyhoo... we had a chat about our teammates, the eco dept teachers and about taking up masters or mba. goodness gracious, one more year and then i would have to decide if i should take my masters immediately or work. im really more keen on working first so that i could save up money for further studies. i really want to study in hongkong or singapore. i can't study somewhere in europe or the us because id be too homesick. one more year before i make that decision. i just hope that id get a nice paying job so that i could live comfortably. anyway after our chat, i just continued with my readings until alvin got there to pick me up.

alvin got to starbucks at around 1:45. we walked to the blue eagle gym because he parked his car there. while passing by the over pass, i saw this kid sleeping on the steps of the stairs. i felt bad for him. at that very moemnt when i saw the kid i told alvin, " kawawa naman yung bata". he must be very tired and hungry at that time that all he could do was sleep to let his hunger pass. he might not even have a house to go home to at the end of the day. i felt bad for the kid. here i am with a comfortable life, a house to go home to, food to eat whenever im hungry or money to spend and there's the kid sleeping on the steps of the overpass who probably doesnt even have a third of what i have. life could be really unfair. its sad. i wish that everyone could just have comfortable lives. i hope that one day, i could do something so that there would no longer be kids or people sleeping on overpass stairs, sidewalks or karitons.

haaayyyy....

MC fight!!!

we didnt go to Joanna's family day because she was too sleepy to wake up and get dressed for it. we just attended jessica's competition.

when we got to the venue of the competition, the team before them was already performing. when it was Miriam's turn to cheer, i cant help but feel happy. happy because i felt as if i was still in high scool and because boosters still had that greatness in them! hehehe they were still sharp and the routine they made was good! ganda talaga ng MC fight! hehehe the hardcourt however wasnt as good as before. they werent that sharp, fexible and snappy like how they were when i was in highschool. the routine wasnt that nice also. i guess ate nats' (sp?) move to HK somehow affected the girls. hehehe anyway, MC didnt get to bag the first plac! San beda college alabang won as the champion this year and MC the first runner up. the routine of san beda wasnt really spectacular but their energy was beyond maximum! heheh although MC didnt get to bag the first place its all good! everyone enjoyed the competition and i know that they did their best! hehehe my sister might be the captain next year! hahaha snaps for her!!! i hope they win next year!!!

i miss highschool. i miss training with boosters. i miss kulogs. i miss the adrenaline that competitions bring. i miss cheering for the school. i miss making steps and cheers for the team with the kulogs. i miss doing the nod that MC is known for. hahah i just miss the happy and easy life of being in high school. =)

* alvin dropped by while we were having lunch before he went to his training. i miss him already...

yesterday was super fun!

after alvin's iac game, we immediately went home to dress up for our get together dinner with my cousins and tita. after everyone finished dressing up, we went to mama minda's house to meet up with ate cielo and the others. we then had a convoy to eastwood.

we just had dinner at fazolli's because everyone wanted pizza and pasta when we were talking about dinner the other day. since ate cielo is working already as an FA at Asiana, she payed for dinner. dinner was fun because almost all of us cousins and boyfriends were there. karla didnt follow na because she was already tired and lazy from her training. tita mean and tito eric came just before everyone finished eating dinner. anyway dinner was fun. good food and good kwentos.

after dinner we were supposed to watch happy feet but the seats were all taken already. tito eric then suggested that we play bowling. so after 10 minutes of talking about what to do (eat dessert or play bowling) we decided to play bowling. all of us played except for katkat who was lazy daw to play. tito eric was good in bowling as well as alvin. joanna was the second best player!!! haha the kid doesnt really even know how to play but her throws (is that how you call it?) were all suave!!! she had 3-4 strikes and 3 spares!!! tito eric said she has potential! hahaha anyway the funniest players were ron and ate cielo. ron had this funny way of releasing the ball kasi. ate cielo naman while she was walking to the border line na the ball just fell from her hands. naiwan yung ball! hahaha the 8 pound bowling ball was too heavy for her!!!

after bowling we just had dessert at jack's loft. we just ate and shared stories. it was fun because even tita mean and tito eric can relate to us. hahaha we went home at around 1 since everyone was already tired and getting sleepy!

**its joanna's family day today and after that would be jessica's cheering competition!

dr. venida didnt go to class. boo. ive waited for three hours in shcool just to find out that his class is free cut.

tth days are officially bonding days with missy. hahaha its back to the old days. anyway ive been pigging out lately. yay for me! i think i need to gain a few pounds. hhhmmm but dont worry i dont have an eating disorder! i do eat and i dont throw up after eating. its just hard for me to gain soem weight now.

cant wait for tomorrow!!! date with alvin and then dinner with my cousins! yay!!! i love weekends!!!

** mama bought a new lv bag... i want it!!! hehehe i can always borrow!! hhhmm maybe she'd give me the mini lin speedy bag ive been wanting for ages for christmas! hehehe

traffic along katipunan was crazy! it usually takes me 15-20 minutes to get home from school on regular school days. that 15-20 minutes should really be just a 3-5 minutes drive if there aint traffic. anyway today was crazy!!!! it took me an hour to get home from ateneo!!! my house is just a kilometer or two away from ateneo and it took me an hour!!! oh well.. at least i get to practice driving in heavy traffic! heheheh i hope to get a smaller car though like a civic, altis or focus. sometimes i feel like the explorer is too big for me. heheh but i love it! i love big cars! heheh actually i still am dreaming of a black super crew f150! hahaha

anyway...i cant wait for friday!!! im having dinner with my cousins!!! ate ciel is back from korea that's why we'll be having a get together!!! kids and boyfriends only! hehehe

the past few days have been wonderful. finally i have enough time to study and work. no more stress and hassles. i cant be any happier. everything really has to end.

anyway, yesterday was a pretty long day. i only had class untill 1030 because Dr. Venida still aint around. After my philo class i just had lunch with missy. It was fun talking to her again. i super missed her. i missed talking to her about everything. we talked about shopping, travelling, living abroad and studyinga fter college. We're going to the states after graduation for a vacation. Hopefully frankie can go with us! after chatting for an hour and a half, she had to go to her econometrics class already so i just met up with alvin. we just went to matteo ricci to study. when it was time for him to go to his class i just went online since i was already tired from studying for finance. hehehe

after his last class, we had our merienda at TOSH and then we went back to school for his basketball game. Alvin adn his teammates won the game! heheh yay! after the game we went home na.

***
alvin had his hair shaved off the other day!!! hehehe i had my long over due foot massage, manicure and pedicure!! hehe i feel like a princess!!! hehehe

im resigning from my position as vp for hr today. the desire, passion and determination to do my job burnt out already. there was no positive reinforcements and i felt as if i was the only one working for the projects. others don't even care. just like what the priest said yesterday, everythging has an end.

goodbye meco! hello to more money! hahaha

im broke. well nopt really that broke but ive spent too much money shopping this week. anyway the phones i want are coming out by december! hahaha but i wont be getting them agad. i'll get a new phone by feb pa siguro.

some people just dont get it. ilang beses ko bang kailangan pang sabihin sayo ha??? ganun ba talaga kaimportante yun????

oh well...

i went shopping with my mom today. after class she asked me to go home immediately so we could go shopping. as soon as i got home i changed into my flipflops and off we went to go shopping.

im a happy kid! i got 3 new shorts, 2 tops and 2 belts! we had to be home by 4pm so we had to cut our shopping short. bitin super. oh well next time! hehehe thanks mama!!

nokia 7390
nokia 7373

i want to get a new phone by next year. maybe january or feb. i really want a clam type or a swivel. im eyeing 4 phones right now but i dont know what to get. either the nokia 7373, nokia 7390, moto razrv3x in hot pink or the new sony ericsson clam type that comes in metallic pink.. hehehe

imthinking twice aboutthe razor..im super liking the nokia 7373 but its not 3g capable.hehe but 3g isnt really that good here anyway!! hahaha

basta i wanta pink phone

im starting to love my sched. i have enough time to study, exercise and go out with alvin. i like my teachers. im looking forward to a good sem. pfft i just realized that i havent talked about anything except for my effing schedule! hahaha how lame can i get huh?

anyway alvin and i were talking yesterday. he told me he's sure already that he'd be taking masters. he just aint sure where and when. he wants me to go to singapore with him if ever he would be taking his masters there. im not sure about that yet. i think its still early to think about that. anyway for me its either i take masters after two years of work experience or right after graduation. i want to study in singapore or in hongkong. both are very near so that i could go back here to visit my family! hehehe i easily get homesick e. anyway, after our talk i just realized that alvin and i have been planning and building our future together. that's how super sure we are of each other already. we just hope that everything works out the way we planned them and that we'd really end up together. heheh i think we'll end up together. hahah cheesy!!! but yeah i know that whatever happens we'll always work things out! hehehe

i know that all of you would say that its early to say all of these things...heheh i dont know i just have this feeling that its really going to be him...=)

i finally got to load rev the classes that i dint like. no more saturday classes and no more 6-9pm classes for me. i love it. ate malou, i love you! hehehe anyway i still have long breaks (3 hours max) but its ok rather than having a 5hour and 10 hour break plus a saturday class. so there im happy and contented with my sched. i decided on spending my breaks either at moro or at the library or matteo study hall. dl here i come. im really working my ass off this sem. hahah ive said it for the past 2 years but this time im serious about it.

on working for meco... im really tired of it. i want to resign already but im thinking of nicky... heheh but i really dont like it anymore.. im starting to abhore it...

movie on friday with bsb! yay!!!

alvin jay, i love you!!

first day of school went well. my teachers seem ok. although my history teacher kept on repeating herself. my schedule still aint the best but im happy i have no more saturday class. i hope that my ls load rev app would be approved! im keeping my fingers crossed.

anyway since i have super long breaks, im thinking of enrolling to the gym again. its either i go boxing, swimming or running during my long breaks. i dont know which one to pick. id decide next week! hehehe but i think its either i go jogging or boxing at moro so that i could study in the lib after cause if i go home id just sleep, go online or watch tv.

got a new pair of pants!!! yay!!! more tops and shoes to go!!

i love you alvin jay!

i had my haircut yesterday. i got bored with my hairstyle so i had it cut. when katkat and i got home from the salon, my two little sisters asked my to go back to the salon with them. hahaha the two of them didnt have anything to do so they also wanted to have their hair cut. so we went back to the salon. good thing there was parking left or else it would have been a major hassle for me to park the explorer somewhere else. anyway i just listened to britney (the ipod) and ready magazines while waiting for them.

when we got home, i dressed up for my get together with kat and mitch.

its been ages since i last saw the two. it was fun spending some time with them. we had dinner thenw e watched the prestige. the movie was a little draggy but the twists and tricks were great. hugh jackman is still hot for me. after the movie we just went to kookie's house then alvin and i went home na.

i have the worst schedule in the world. my random number made it super impossible for me to get the class schedules that i want so i ended up taking the classes that are left behind. i do hope that my load rev gets approved.

anyway after reg alvin and i went to national bookstore to go school supplies shopping! hehehe i love shopping for school stuff. anyway bought a new notebook, pencil case and pens. after shopping we went to eastwood.

when we got to eastwood we didnt know what to do so we just went window shopping. too bad the jeans i want have no more sizes. all the small sizes are gone.pffft. we had coffee at starbucks too. i want to have the starbucks 2007 planner but its super bulky. hehe but i still want it. 18 more stickers to go. so to all the starbucks addicts there please give me your receipts! hahaha after a lot of walking, alvin got tired so we decided to leave already. i drove for hims o that he could rest. on our way home mama called and asked us to pick up joanna. so i picked her up first before ging home.

as soon as we got home, alvin slept at my little sisters room while my sisters watched television. i on the other hand designed my notebook! heheeh the design is so me. love it! oh i also asked if my sisters wanted to go to eastwood that evening for desserts plus kuya nyoy was playing there. they all said yes. hahah had dinner then we picked up jeb since we asked him to come with us.

when we got to eastwood we had desserts at jack's loft then we transferred to fazolli's to have pizza!!!! hahaha kababuyan!! after eating and after bunyoy's set we just played at power station. went home at around 11.

thanks alvin jay! love you!!

***********
anyway im thinking of having a haircut today. but i dont know what to do with my short hair. all i know is i want it cut. hahaha

p.s

dont make me like someone when you dont even like the person in the first place. maybe im selfish but these are the consequences of your actions.

let's see what happens...

...

ive been going out with alvin the past few days. date days always make me happy. one more tomorrow! yay! im still not in the mood to go back to school. but im excited hahah pretty weird huh? im excited to meet new teachers and classmates but if the workload would be similar as last semester...hhhnmmm that would be a different story. national bookstore shopping today! yey!!

i can't download the latest i tunes. boo. i still cant use the new nano that alvin gave me!!! now i want the moto razr v3x in hot pink!! hehehe

the hongkong trip was great! it was a week of shopping and sight seeing! even if i wanted to skip the sight seeing cause ive seen hongkongfor a couple of times already, i still had to go with my family because it was katkat and tito bobets kids' first time there. anyway the shopping was great! got new clothes for myself! yay! and i went shopping for alvin as well. anyway i had fun because i got to spend time with my family and hongkong has really been one of my favorite cities. anyway here how the 8 day trip went..

day 1:
papa jun and lola terry brought us to the airport. when we got there we met up with tito bobet's family. then we went inside the airport and proceeded to the check in counter. fortunately the line was short and we didnt have to wait for a long time. as soon as we were checked in, we went to the immigration already. the waiting time was pretty fast. no hassles unlike before. as soon as all the airport processes were done, we had a light snack at the airport bar. we just waited in the waiting area. i on the other hand called alvin for the last time. i wanted to talk to him before i left because idd calls are expensive. heheh anyway i was talking with him until the crew asked everyone to turn off their phones for take off. the plane ride was pretty fast we got to hk 10 minutes earlier than our expected time of arrival.

after touch down, we went through immigration again, tok our luggages and then we tok the airport bus going to discovery bay where tita mean's flat is located. discvery bay is super nice. it's really and quiet. carsare not allowed in the community. only authroized buses and golf cars are allowed. anyway when we got tita mean's unit, i prepred dinner na for everyone while they were fixing their things. we ate dinner and rested for the rest of the night for the long week taht was ahead of us.

day 2:
woke up early because mama and i cooked breakfast. as soon as everyone finished eating breakfast and dressing up, we went to the community chapel to hear mass. there were lots of filipinos in the community. the priest was even a filipino. he even kept n saying noh during his homily. anyway, the chir was also made up of filipinos. after the mass we took the bus to tung chung.

when we got to tung chung, we got our octopus cards loaded and we had lunch at the mall. as soon as we finsihed eating we went to the ngong ping skyrail terminal. ngong ping is one of hong kong's newest attractions. we had to ride the skyrail (cable car) to be able to get to the ngong ping village whre in the giant buddha, temple, monastery and wisdom path is located. the cable car ride was spectacular because it has a view of the lantau island, ngong ping plateu, hk international airport, and the south china sea.

when we got to the village, we went up to the buddha, had our pictures taken, went down the village again then went to the temple and the monastery. we rode the skyrail again to go back to tung chung.

we went shopping at citigate mall where in there were lots of outlet stores. we also went grocery shopping for our week long food supply and snacks. it was almost 930 when we got home.

the kids and i cooked dinner. heheh its funny because i rarely cook here in manila. the three girls (krizia, karen and jessica) were my little assistants.

day 3:
i prepared breakfast again with mama.

we went to central, had our money changed then we wet shopping. after 2 hours of shopping we went to aberdeen to have a snack at the jumbo restaurant and to see the sampans. after that we went back to central to go to the peak. the peak is the new victoria's peak of hong kong. its higher and it has a mall. we rode the tram going us the peak. had pictures taken at the top of the tower, took pictures of the hongkong skyline and went shopping at the mall. it was fun seeing the hk skyline change colors.

after going to the peak we went back to central to do a few more shopping. after that we rode the star ferry to kowloon and from tsim we took the mtr to mongkok.

we had dinner at one of the little restos in mongkok and then off we went to shopping. we really didnt get to buy lots of things there beacuse they were expensive. the prices in greenhills and divisoria are better.hehehe we left mongkok at 1am just intime fr the last mtr trip.

we got home at db at around 130am.

day 4:
on our fourth day, tita mean went with us for she didnt have a flight. we went to tsing yi to see the tsing ma bridge. tsing ma bridge is the longest bridge in the world that carries both road and rail traffic. the design of the bridge is somewhat similar to the golden gate bridge. we just stayed there to take some pictures and check out the view. we then went to kowloon again to go shopping. this time we went to nathan road then granville. we finsihed shopping ata round 1 ama gain. we took the last train back to sunny bay then we took the bus to db.

day5:
we just went to disneyland. the place was nice. i enjoyed the golden mickey show and the parade. the rides were boring and were really for kids. no thrill. even if the rides werent great i still enjoyed. i super remembered my childhood. my disney princesses and minnie mouse! hehehe plus i loved their souvenirs! hahaha got myself a cute minni wallet a key chain and i got alvin nightmare before christmas goodies! oh i also saw ate nats (sp?) mc hardcourt's copach. she's been working in hk disney for two weeks already. there were loads of filipino performers there. one of the lead in the mickey's golden show was rallion alonzo. he used to be a celebrityhere but he didnt really make it i think. met some of the performers on our way back to sunny bay. i super love the train going to disneyland. its cute comfy and very luxurious! hehehe got home ata round 10.

when we (me, jessica, karen and krizia) still prepared dinner. the oldies (our parents) requested for shrimp in oyster sauce so i cooked one. it was my first time but it went well. everyone liked it yipee!! after eating and taking a bath everyone went to bed for another tiring shopping day.

day 6:
this day was for shopping and shopping alone. no sight seeing for the kids. heheh we first went to stanley market. there wasnt really anything to buy there so we went back to central to go shopping. after getting tired of the shops in central we went back to kowloon to shop at ocean terminal. papa and kuya enjoyed shopping there because lacoste was on sale! heheh after shopping we catched the 8pm symphony of lights show across victoria harbour. the lights on the buildings at central were pretty! after the show we went back to shopping. we had our dinner at 12am already because everyone was super busy shopping. hahah got home at 130

day7:
ocean park day. just went through all the marine aquariums, rode all the rides and watched the ocean theatre show. shamu the whale died years ago so he wasn't there to perform. its way better when shamu was still there. after the show, we just went back to ride the other rides that we havent tried and then we went back to central to shop.

when we got to central we just shopped a little and then we had dinner. after dinner we went back to tsim to continue shopping at ocean terminal and nathan road. we finsihed shopping at 12:30am. last day of shopping sicne we'll be leaving the next day.

when we got home, we were already tired but we still had to pack our things. we finfished packing at around 3 am. then we went to bed already.

day8:
did a few last minute shopping and then we went to the airport na. i just slept during the entire flight because i was super exhausted from the trip already. when we got home i just fixed my things then i went to bed na. i slept at 5 in the afternoon and i woke up at 8:30 the next morning! hehehe its the first time that i slept for that long!!!

as a whole i super enjoyed the hk trip. i had fun with my family. there were lots of funny moments that id never forget. teehee cant wait for bangkok!!!

just got back from hongkong. im tired from all the shopping, walking and sight seeing but its all good. i super enjoyed. i'll post the kwentos later!!
