Latest Addiction/Frustration

So stressed with work yesterday so I decided to stop for a while and surf the net a bit. As usual, blog-hopping to check what other people (most of them strangers) think or write about. I don’t know, life interests me so much, and I want to know what people are up to. Anyways, I visited my blogspot only to realize that I haven’t posted anything for the week. Last entry was about MLR’s birthday pa. I kept on thinking..what do I write about..what do I write about. I was feeling blank at that time and my mind was empty space. I just started posting in Official Statement, early this year. Prior to that, my thoughts can be found in Trying to Bloom In Snow and Press Release. Well, Press Release is still alive for purposes of my drama in life. So anyways, I tried to visit Trying to Bloom in Snow and Press Release to remind myself of what I used to write about.

Sigh. I never really wrote about general interests pala before. I wrote about life and its complexities. Shett as in all the drama in my life, my rants and raves, lyrics and poetry that affect me… anjan sila lahat pinangangalandakan ko (in the most creative way I can ever). It was then I realized oh yeah, it’s true what they say, dami kong drama from before. But then, I had something to write about. I HAD A REASON. Now I miss writing so bad. As in.

I used to write and write especially in highschool. Every emotion felt, I translated to words. Writing was my outlet. I wrote the things I cannot say. Up to this very moment, I still have those notebooks with me containing the words I never had the guts or chance to say to certain people. Hindi kabaduyan na love letters na wai nasend ha! As in mga stuff like how disappointed I was with you; or I wanted to cut class today and hangout with you but….yan mga ganyan. Nyeta I miss writing. I wrote less when I entered law school. Because somehow in law school, I thought I lost the ability to feel. Hanggang blog nalang. Sigh.

I want to write again. I want to be able to translate something into words once more. And I have a reason.

The drama that is now.

Happy Birthday, MLR!

Stressed with work again so haven't had the chance to post entries. Sigh. I didn't go out the whole weekend. As in DVD suicide lang at home. But anyways, fun busy Monday for MLR (our managing partner)'s birthday lunch treat!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)

FRIDAY

5 September 2008

9:30 pm

Nikki picked me up from RCBC building. Just finished dance class with Ida. We were supposed to head to Ortigas and meet up with Sam for the annual Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, before we even got the chance to leave Makati, Jego informed me na it’s mejo magulo na in Oktoberfest and better if i-schedule nalang ang mga gimik sa ibang place. Thanks for the info, bru. So there, called up Samantha and asked her to go back nalang to Makati and relay the message to Ave. Okay, so where in Makati? Ang gulo ng mga pag-uusap na nangyari. We were supposed to go old-school Ponti but since Ave was told na Hai na lang…o sige fine, Hai na. We all met up at Hai just to witness how packed it was. Sheth. Nik and I super starving na!!!

11:00ish pm

We decided to go to Barcino na lang. Maka wine drama nalang. Okay, so shempre ang hirap maghanap ng parking sa Barcino…nakikipag away pa ako sa guard (best option ever!) Since may mga “displays of pagkamaniac” si Ave sa Barcino, we decided (thank God, finally!) it’s Basilio’s na for the night.

11:47pm

In fairness ha, kahit sira ang a/c that night, okay naman. Plus, super sarap the food! I recommend their stuffed fried chicken. I felt love, as in. Nikki had their Spanish adobo…and she liked it too. Okay, so chika chika and of course, drink galore na naman! Sigh. Pero okay lang because in moderation naman. Special thanks to Ina Zamora for the patron shots! By this time, I found out that Sam already told Ave my secret/story. Well, okay lang. At least Ave didn’t judge me…instantly. Che! I’ll remember your promise though…ako ang pro bono mo when I need it na in the future. Goodluck nalang. Mahirap i-panalo ito, darling.

2:00 am

I texted Cuz Mariel because we planned on meeting up that day. Since she’s as kaladkarin as yours truly, game naman si loka. She joined us in Basilio’s pero last order na so we transferred to Piedra for a couple more drinks.

with Sam

2:52 am

By the time we got to Piedra, all girls na kami! Baduy the boys talaga. As in 1 bloody mary and 1 free drink from Nik lang then we left na. Hello, wala naman mashado tao sa Piedra kasi plus Sam and Nik had things to do pa in the morning. Sam had a 1pm class and Nik still had to finish something for work.

4:00am

So just me and Cuz. We didn’t want to go home yet. Hmm…think think….san tayo pupunta?? Jay-J’s! 24 hrs!! We convinced Kat to follow since tapos na naman her inuman in South area. Punta naman ang loka! Of course my new couz, Michelle, and her friend Randy joined us din. We’re all going to Bacolod come October so of course, puro excitement pinagusapan namin! Gosh….can’t wait!!! Anyways, daybreak na! And Mariel wanted to go home na so we left Ortigas. We still had activities scheduled later that day.

umaga naaaa

SATURDAY

6 September 2008

2:00 pm

Woke up with a headache. I noticed that’s one of my big problems whenever I decide to stop drinking. The moment I drink again, bigla bigla ako may hangover the morning after. Sheth. Kainis. But shempre headache can’t distract me from the activities scheduled for Saturday.

4:24 pm

Went to Rockwell Club to watch the Ateneo-La Salle game! Ay ayoko na magkwento. Bad trip bad trip bad trip! Pwe!

@rockwell club

6:45pm

Said goodbye na to Cuz. She’s on her way to Tagaytay and ako naman, barops drama. First weekend of the Bar Season kasi diva. So, I met up with Nikki in Powerplant then off we go to Regina Iustitiae’s Headquarters for the 2008 Bar Exams—Pearl Garden (na pwede rin nating tawagin na Arl Garden dahil sa defective nitong sign).

7:40pm

I dropped off my stuff lang sa family room. Okay, ano ang family room? I booked a room kasi for the first and last weekends ng bar for me and my kids (apos included) or kung may visitors man ako na ieexpect (pero parang wala namang ganon). Hence, family room. Anyways, beso dito beso jan. Then I invited Pat to go out and have dinner with me. I was craving Japanese!! Solid hungry na talaga!!!

8:46pm

The first Jap resto na pinasok namin…failure. Funny story pero next time na. So napunta kami sa Gyobou Yakiniku along Adriatico Street. Infairness, loved the food. Raw beef. Yay.

Pat mixing everything. Yum.

10:11pm

Had to be back @ the Pearl since I still had to finish some work and shempre salubong pa for my daughter Ann’s birthday.

After the shebang, hang out and chika chika with some of the sisses. Good thang, I got to hang with my apos. The whole time ay tawa galore lang kami. Nagsimula ito sa pagchannel surf. Walang mapanood na magandang palabas so ewan ko at napunta kami sa isang Filipino indie film. Nung start shempre parang ang funny kasi ano ba itong palabas na ito? Pero later on…naging interesting ang madramang kwento. At nakakatawa na napipikon si Eunice pag nac-cut ang mga love scenes. By the way, gay indie film pala ito. Title? According to Eunice, Badingan daw ang title. I had to utIlize Google para lang malaman ang title dahil ayaw ako seryosohin ng bruha. Ang Lihim ni Antonio. I must say, tragic film. Az in. I need to watch this again. After that, iba ibang video clips pa at kakaibang tawanan then I accidentally fell asleep around 7 in the morning.

SUNDAY

7 September 2008

9:17am

By the time I woke up, wala na ang barristers. I wanted pa naman to have breakfast with them so I can greet Ria rin a happy birthday. Anyways….since I badly needed na my iced coffee, I went to the hotel resto alone. Sakto for my morning M&M (muni-muni). Either tulog or taking a bath na kasi ang mga sisses na naiwan sa hotel at that time.

alone time

11:35am

Busy time again. We needed to get to Ceralicious (Regina Iustitiae Taft HQ) to support our barristers and of course, to hang out ulet with the sisses.

stresss...

Go Barristers

2:30 pm

I was on my way to Trinoma to meet up with someone. Got home super tired by 6:30pm. Since last leg na ng Will & Grace marathon ko….that’s all I did until I finally fell asleep.

What a weekend….na naman.

For the First Time (at hindi ko na uulitin!)

The truth is I expected a lot from this movie. Ganda ng setting, Greece ang eksena and first time na team up ni KC at Richard. Wapang, ang sagwa talaga. Pasensya na pero that’s the way I see it. Before pa matapos ang movie, I found myself texting some of my friends na how big a disappoint the movie was.

Okay fine, ang direksyon, okay ito. But my goooolaygee, ang story di ko kinakaya! Girl went to Greece to accompany yaya in meeting up penpal. Guy naman stays in Greece because he bought this tavern he never wished to run. Oh what a coincidence, nagmeet sila sa Greece eh si Guy pa naman ang hatest person in the world ni Girl nung nasa Manila pa lang sila. As in ang gulo. Super sayang ang Greece for the story. Daming conflicts na hindi naman lahat nareresolve. Ang iba pa sa mga conflicts, parang hindi naman legit conflict. And I don’t get it ha, parang patapos na ang film and there, another conflict is being introduced. Pinilit…mej ganon ang dating sa’kin. The same goes din sa paglipat ng one scene to the other. Kami ni Ida super gulong-gulo. Teka, teka, lahat yan nangyari in one day?? O, bakit ganon, sino ba yan??

I’m not dooper knowledgeable when it comes to movies, but I think I know a ‘duh’ movie when I chance upon one. Isa ito dun. Shettt nasasayangan ako. Parang okay pa naman ang acting ni Richard at KC. Dami pa naman na mga batikan na artistas na kinuha din for the movie. Di nabigyan ng justice, loooord. Buti nalang Candy Pangilinan was major funny! Yan ang kaisa-isa na masasabi ko na positive. Sigh. Kaloka talaga. John Llloyd- Sarah pa rin!

Kaloka Weekend

Friday night was make-up gimik for WTP08 Leg 1 cast. We missed one gimik night in Bora kasi so ayan, mini reunion agad pagbalik ng Manila. And since Mela’s heading to the States na to study (Stanford sosh!), despedida na rin for her diva.

Had dinner first at Dencio's Rockwell then headed to Centerstage, Jupiter for our birit to the max night.

Of course, hindi mawawala sa list of songs ko ang Iisa Pa Lamang by Joey Albert. Ahhaha. Lav et! Hassle lang mag videoke trip when Alecz is around. Songbird kasi ang choosy kaya ayan, sobrang halatang halata na di kami magaling sa pagkanta. Kalurkeeee!!! Anyways, we enjoyed Alecz’ concert. Girl or guy song, bugubug talaga kay Inay.

"Bituing Walang Ningning"

performance level na naman si choosy!

Come Saturday, lunch appointment with Ida and Jeoff @ Century Park Hotel. Lunch buffet ang eksena. Had to discuss din kasi something. Anyways, spontaneous gimik for the night kasi super tagal na since we last went out with Jeoff. Sobrang busy busy kasi ang Becky na ito! Watched “For the First Time” with Ida (wait for the review, ohmygosh.....refund please!) while badminton galore si bakla! Picked up Jego and Dax in Laundryhaus before we headed to Malate to meet up with Jeoff. Kaloka birit night na naman ito. Kalurks! Anyways….sakit na ng throat ko sa walang katapusang pagkanta!

lunch meeting with Jeoff

birit ulet

Sunday. I think I got home from Malate around 4 in the morning. Sheth. I had to wake up early pa since I had to hit the gym before going to Isa’s 1^st Birthday Party! Isa is the youngest daughter of my officemate, Val. Grabe, I can’t explain this feeling. Ang pagpunta sa children’s party na walang bitbit na junakis! Anyways..buti may mini cupcakes si Val….i felt love! Hahaha! Happy Birthday, Isa.

with my Secretary, Tita Des
at dapat may crown kasi princess effect ang theme!

Yan ang weekend. Kapagod. Back to work na. Sheth.
