How we spend Christmas

Christmas eve,,.. Who could not know the traditional NocheBuena,, or the traditional Christmas eve Feast......

The Menu for this year's Nochebuena::

Just done cooking Spaghetti and Black Sambo... though I think the chocolate part is more of a pudding... hahahaha.... nagkulang ang gelatin....


Mom will make fruit salad. We bought the infamous Fiesta Ham. Finally, to satisfy my sweet tooth craving for Christmas, mom ordered my all time favorite homemade Moist Chocolate Cake. Yuuummm
I'm on a not-so-strict DIET. hahaha... no, really. I'm restraining myself this year.... as much as I would want to eat the infamous Lechon, Ice cream, Chantilly bars, and Leche Flan... I agonizingly abdicate myself from those cravings....

One thing I realized is that,, it's not advisable to remember something that is supposed to have long been forgotten especially if you're holding a sharp object, particularly on circumstances where you're chopping something... hahahaha


Things I remember while mincing garlic & onion....
I can't remember the time when I learned how to cook Spaghetti... Basta,, all I can remember is bata pa lang ako I'm always assisting my mom in the kitchen,,, she'll instruct me with what to put and other stuffs, then yun nah... na.pick-up ko na... People who would visit our house would often tell me "kabalo diay xa ug luto (she knows how to cook?!?)" When I was 10 I already know how to cook Pinakbet, afritada, and other stuffs.... xayang eh! ngayon lang na.uso yung kiddie MasterChef.... malay nyo naman diba?! hehehe... I can remember cooking Pinakbet in class, Home economics ata yung subject... but that's another story....

Well, taking up culinary entered my mind...reason ko why I didn't take up culinary:: "para saan pa?!? Culinary is just the basics,,. Kung alam mo yung basics of cooking, a little bit of experiment, plus the touch of art--> ayun! Looks like 4yrs of studying nah.... Pero I think cooking is a gift,, yup natututunan xa, pero iba pa rin if sarili mo... yung bang you go beyond the recipe book... mag.experiment ka,, and yung kahit hindi minimeasure alam mo na tama nah....

No wonder I can do a little bit of everything, but has no best at something.... Basta alam ko ng konti, ayos nah! yun lang naman yung kailangan....

Back... wow! I managed not to ask for anything.... hoooorrraaayyy!!! During christmas kasi I'm accustomed to halfheartedly joking but more like asking for christmas presents.... and whattya know,, there are really people na kakagat sa jokes mo.... The first time, the time when I still have this thing called guilt, syempre I returned it by giving something back..... 2nd time, Idk if guilt is still with me (Panawagan: guilt kung nanjan ka pa, magparamdam ka na..... or kung wala ka na,, pls naman bumalik ka na!!! Maawa ka sa kanila.... sakin ayos lang na wala ka).... 3rd time?? hahahaha.... 3rd time's the charm ika-nga.... No mas na for me!!!

Well,, exception naman yung nephew ko diba..... Nephew nga.... exception yon!! family related!! hahahaha.... ok! Fine! Kasi namaaaaaann!!! He said he's in *churva* and it's christmas... wait.. ano ba maganda doon... *google-mode* kakatamad naman mag-google... I think there's nothing significant there.... plus not to mention he's thrifty... super thrifty! It runs in the blood (I think).... Kung sa bisaya pa "INOT" Grabeh ka INOT!!! So I doubt he'll bring something, not in a million years!! kaya safe na conscience ko.... pero sana lang hah,,, Lord kung meron man, sana wag chocolates!! Sumo na lord!! oh diba, reklamador?!?

Anyway,, this entry is about how we spend christmas nga diba.... how we spend Christmas or should I say CHRISTMASES?? Ganito lang kami forever... Mass-Nochebuena-Tingin ng Fireworks- tulog.... There's just 3 of us plus Odeza (our beloved dog).... oh diba,, what do you expect?!?... tanong nyo kung nauubos naman yung food?? xempre naman! hahaha.... lolz... FYI... hindi po solo kong inuubos.... nauubos poh xa coz marami-rami din pong bwisita... este, bisita na dumarating kina-umagahan..... ano pah?!? eh di NAMAMASKO!! hahahaha.... goodbye na naman old gamits ko.... Pero ok lang,,, Christmas is about giving ^_^


PS: Bday ng friend ko na love na love ako...... Happy Bday minion Angela Kristine Vios Tigley.... eeewww 20!!! hahahaha

December 6, 2011

Dear Blog,

hahahahaha..... sagwa tii!!!! Anyway, since nasimulan ko nah, might as well continue this ka.echosan.... hahahaha..... or I feel like writing something today.... Enjoy my short story ^_^


Tuesday, She is on her way to school,,.... usual routine nya,, meaning late na naman as usual, pero since nakalimutan nya ang wrist watch nya dahil sa pagmamadali, wala siyang ka.alam-alam sa oras... She took a jeepney in going to school, syempre marami siyang nakasabay, jeepney nga eh... But as usual, keber siya sa mga tao,,. She decided to scan her notes, until she felt uneasy. She stopped reading and just when she diverted her gaze away from her notes, their eyes met. He's also studying at the same school as her, lives in the same village as her but never did she knew him until this fated day. Even if she didn't study his face, she can't miss his uniquely entrancing eyes. His eyes are really something.

Suddenly a thought came into her mind; "Tuesday," the thought made her feel excited, then she said to herself "Sana pansinin nya ako =P If he'll say 'hi' it'll be a sign that we'll become good friends, plus I need to test my hypothesis." She didn't expect to arrive 5 min. before the time, when she entered the campus she looked around hoping to see the person she's anxious of testing her hypothesis to, but there was no sign of this person. She decided to wait a little bit longer, when suddenly she caught sight of another person. Then it suddenly hit her, she forgot she'll also see this other person. She was overwhelmed with the thought of testing her hypothesis that she forgot this other person. The other person, who's one of the reasons why she's look forward to this particular day of the week, but that was a long time ago. Things change, people change, and her finding other reasons is part of the cycle which we call life.

After agonizing minutes of waiting, her human specimen finally came. She stopped whatever she was doing that time hoping to get the sign she's been wishing for but suddenly that sign was given to another person. Dismayed, she got back to what she was doing and uttered in her mind "How stupid of me to think it's possible. It'll never happen." Her specimen even started a light conversation with another person, someone she know, and as much as she would like to barge in she restrained herself with the thought that she already had enough embarrassment for the week. She let out a big *sigh* still focused on what she was doing when suddenly "PPPPSSSSSSTTTTT" the sound caught her attention, and voila!! It was her specimen!!! Looking right back at her,... she tried to compose herself and smiled casually,, little did he know that she already felt an adrenaline rush,,, it was the sign she has been waiting for. She wanted for them to have some conversations again but didn't know how to begin, it was the same for him. He thought she was busy and might probably be disturbing her, so he did what other people would do in instances like that.... embarrassed, he walked away.

Hindi man sila nakapag-talk dahil sa kadahilanang nagpanggap ang gaga na busy xa,, but that "psssstttt" and smile was enough to uplift her spirit for this day, it already made her day ^_^

Trip Lang ♥

First and foremost, it's not that documenting my life is beginning to be a routine --- though I'd still like to keep my options open --- besides, nobody reads my stupid ramblings other than my nosy friends. Plus, I know this is not a diary, well it is in some ways. Basta... I just want something to read in the future... so....


I started my week wearing that ill-fitting business attire, plus my new exquisitely agonizing pair of shiny black heels, and not to mention my new exorbitant stocking which I just wore for like 30 min until it was eventually ruined. With my outfit, mostly because of my pointed heels, I've decided to take a cab; so that means I still have 30min spare time which I spent writing this week's to do list. Amazingly, I resolved almost all of them in one day, not really resolved but close, and I'm contented with that.


Ok. What's so amazing today that I've decided to write something about this day? uhmmm... lolz... I made friends =)) nah... not really... I'll probably call it an acquaintance as of the moment, but we'll probably get there... hahahaha.... kapal!! I thought I would never see my vain super duper kapal self again, pero whattya know... we met again.

We were never actually introduced or something,, I just know this person for like I dunno, just several weeks ago, when I asked "who's that pokemon" and turned out I really don't know this person, well I should have though... gawd! I missed out on life so much. Well anyway, if you're wondering"who's that pokemon" --- that pokemon had a connection with my idol. *JAW DROP*

and so... si super kapal me, super epal, super tanong... super eager to know at umandar ang pagka-chismosa.... hahahaha.... eto naman si Jigglypuff me pa-ayaw2 pa to the max pero todo kwento pa rin..... hahahaha.... I must say, it was definitely a religious experience.... hahahaha..... na.excite tuloy ako, tumaas yung blood pressure kaya it felt like my blood rushed pataas then it stopped sa face ko... aaaahhh.... I must have turn red while being a lousy detective, paano naman,,, feeling close si super vain self, xempre si "IDOL" ata yung topic... hahahahaha

Di na ako nag.Nag sa other questions,, but I'm pretty sure that if I did, Jigglypuff might answer.... hehehehehe..... I'll save those nalang (hahahaha... kapal ko talaga!! nag.assume pa na may next time)


Me wants lots of chikkas pah..... I didn't expect that Jigglypuff was the type of person na super dali mka.chikka =)) Snob kasi yung aura,,, hehehehe... peace.... but true ^_^

till next time!!!

Back to December

I changed my mind about my previous post....


I've decided to write an entry because I dunno.... I just feel like doing so...
I was reading my entries again, particularly december entries, only to find out I didn't have any for the past 2 years... I don't know what happened, maybe I got busy with school activities....


Quick Review:: 2009 -- December where we got accepted as student volunteers, so we spent christmas doing stuffs like, christmas party at the park with the street children,,, and the christmas party for the sons/daughters of paid promiscuous women.
2010 -- December where I got accepted as JFINEX associate and had a christmas party with the officers at Opol beach....

Now what's new for this yr??

except for the fact that this will probably be my last december as a Student, a college student, nada!! I've read my december entries 4 yrs ago, dated back 2007, and wow! I'm still that same person. Nothing about me has changed, that's what I hate the most.... It feels like I'm on a stand still just sitting on a bench watching the world change. This was quite different from what I once thought. I mean, this was supposed to be "THAT" december..... and it was supposed to be "THAT" march,,, but that was just it. Things aren't what they seem they would be, and I can't do anything but to just go with the flow. Now this is what I call Life.


But that's not the reason why I'm writing this blog =P
I want to write to have a keepsake in the next years to come....


I'll start my new year's resolution: since I'll turn 20 next yr, I'll have 20 in my list....

woooppzzz!!!! I can't telecast it here :P don't worry, I might publish it next year to see if I have accomplished all those things ;P


PS: Today was lizbeth's bday.... she invited us to go over for dinner, but since I think everyone's busy, considering that we're graduating students, too bad we can't go T_T Xavier Days was fun though... finally saw the awaited fireworks display....

2-3 weeks from now

"Better late than never" "Think of others first"

In every quotation, there's always an exception....

There are things which made me realize some things and rethink of what's best, mostly for me since I have to think first of myself before others --- self love kung baga --- and "they" taught me that today.

I think staying any longer would bring out the worst in me which I wouldn't want that happening, so while I still have a hold of myself, it's better for me to turn back. However, before doing "that" I wouldn't want them to think I'm running away from my obligations, so I've made a list of things I have to do before I do the final act. Besides, I consider this as a practice if in case I'll have to make one in the near future.

Things to do::

1. PAY ALL my debts
2. Finalize the b*****
3. tooommbbllliiirrzzz
4. "that"


I'm doing this for myself and for others as well. I wouldn't want them to suffer if I'll finally lose it. Furthermore, this would save me A LOT OF TIME, MONEY, and EFFORT. Lesser obligations, lesser problems. Now I can finally concentrate on getting that diploma. I'll start drafting "it" tomorrow. It's not like I play an important role anyway.

4th yr: 2nd Sem

Wow! I can't believe that 5 more months and I'm going to graduate from college. It's as if I'm.... wait.... I'm beginning to sound like a melodramatic person again... yeaaayy for my friends! Another entertainment....

Well... Enjoy =))


Anyway, where was I... right... I'm on a trance taking me to graduation day and having that moment where I'm finally getting that diploma --- which means,, no more studying and me making tons of fortune $$$$$ lotsalots of 'em ---- and if ever I'll get bored, or pretty much cracked then I can enroll on some other courses.... wait! I'm not yet even sure if I'm going to march on march,,, what stands between me and that diploma is well, I can mention 9 but let's just not, it's a different story...

October 31, 2011... Saw something... finally lose it.... and bummer!!! Well, the cards say PATIENCE is a VIRTUE!!! However, Time is GOLD!!! It could have been great if my fortune about our defense was correct... let's just hope it is, although it now falls on a different date..... And I really am crossing my fingers that that PATIENCE thing is not about graduation? Is it? No!! It can't be!! It shouldn't be!!! Well, it says my eyes are deceiving me and the truth lies beneath it or something.... or not...

I was having a conversation earlier with myself as to whether or not I should... turns out I think it was a waste.... wow! I'm really good at this --- i'm referring to the conversation, not the writing --- well... boo you!!

New year (celts)... New Sem.... and since it's all souls day, it is a tradition to bury something... and I'm burying YOU!!! you should be scarred though.... because I could be burying you literally, although I still haven't figure out how... but I think I'm making progress.... oh trust me! you'll get there eventually.... bwahahaha *evil laugh* --btw, it sounds better with sound effects... really


well... toodles.... gotta hit the bed before it hits me,,, classes starts tomorrow and I can't find my friggin validated slip...

Blessed Samhain (sow-en)!!!!




Sabay na naman sa uso.... hahahaha.....
I had to edit this vid,,, sorry.. yan lang kaya ng powers ko...
the vid was taken around 12midnight last Saturday after Trivia night so there's no audio recorded,,, alangan naman I make noises in the middle of the night,... hirap nah.. baka batohin pa kami ng mga kapitbahay...

I was fidgeting the application when I discovered that I can create certain effects upon recording vids... so ayon... I tried, and poof!! The effect was superb!! pang.Halloween!!! Then I mixed 3 audios which I got from youtube.... edited some clips near the end,, I'm sure you'll notice that part....

anyway, enjoy!!! Timing!! uso daw yung vid/pic of yourself na zombie/horror look,... hahaha



Blessed Samhain!!!
