"How it works is, you put your music player of choice on shuffle/random. Then you have to say/read each of the questions below and press play. The song that plays is the answer to your question."

Heartbreaker- Dionne Warwick

"Why do you have to be a heartbreaker,
was it a lesson that I never knew"

And now, now that you're gone, all I can do is pray for you,
To be here beside me again.."

14. What type of women/men do I like?
Temporary Madness- Jodie Brooke Wilson

Cupid's arrow cuts right through you,
Sentimental fool that's who you are"

15. What type of men/women do I like?

see things in black and white...
I lie awake and pray,
that you would come my way"

... I told you I was jologs! And what a nice way to end this entry. It's already 2 am, and M2M's right. But then again, pretty boys are scary. They might be more inclined to being pretty than with being a boy. haha.=)

I really enjoyed this!!! I'll do this again soon=)
Thanks Midge and Kurly! haha!!

til my next quiz......

Conversations over Popcorn and Doom

Last Thursday, I had a great night with my mom and my "kuya" (actually my uncle, but the age gap's not that big). Apparently, "kuya" had to sleepover at our place because everybody back at his home left him in their not-so-singles' pad. Wawa was off to Tagaytay to enjoy her hobby, madjong, which at the same time socializing with her friends. My 40-something uncle went to Davao to re-live his younger days with a younger love (having relationships with quite a big age gap is pretty common in our family... please refer to my older posts;D). Tita, on the other hand, "visited" her sister in Hong Kong with a certain someone *ahem ahem*.

So there we were, in the dining room/sala, my mom playing solitaire at the same time chitchatting with us. Kuya was getting hold of the white cheese popcorn, multitasking because while he wanted to watch Doom on dvd, he was also up for some kwentos as well. I thought that it was a great time to reminisce and just talk about the good, old days...

You see, kuya lived with us for a few years when dad was assigned in Cagayan de Oro. I remember I was 4 years old at that time, astonished with everything that was going on around me. We lived in a neighborhood where everybody practically knew each other. My then best friend lived two blocks away from me. Kuya, who was then around 12, had a gang of boys who were trying so hard to be like men. My mom had her own group of friends that reminded me of the Desperate Housewives sans the desperation. It was the perfect "provance" life I knew of.

My 2-year stay in CDO was actually part of my fondest memories as a child. I would remember going around our village and crossing the other village separated by a highway with a traysikad to visit the nearby "beach" with my neighbors. On other days, we would set up the kiddie pool in our spacious and beautiful garden, imagining we had an actual swimming pool with the water hose as a fountain. I also remember staying up late on Saturday nights to catch the live US feed of Saturday Morning Cartoons on ABC (Darkwing Duck.. loved it!!).

During the conversation over Solitaire and Doom, these fond memories of mine were brought back to life. I realized how much kuya still remembers about his first love (the sister of my best friend) yet not remembering how he would tell me tons of jokes and stories that I once believed in. Mom would then reminisce on how we would spend the night at the neighbor's with the grown-ups watching PBA and the kids playing around the house. Next thing we knew, we were laughing our heads off thanks to the "chicks" kuya had for his Science project, which led to my memories of Lola Lita (our laundrywoman who chewed tobacco occasionally) taking hold of a live chicken's feet, getting it ready for the next tinola....

It was actually fun remembering all these things during that night. It's been quite a while since I last thought about how fun my childhood was. Unfortunately, we had to leave CDO and eventually make Davao our home. But then again, that's another trip to memory lane over solitaire, Doom, and white cheddar popcorn. :)

Love Oh Love...

This is interesting. haha. :)

You'll Find a Boyfriend Within a Year

Either you're not ready for a relationship... Or you're not quite ready to leave the house You can't meet a guy from your couch So at least consider meeting one from your computer!

When Will You Meet Your Next Boyfriend?

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Busy

While a relationship sounds nice, you're strapped for time Whether you're legitimately busy or just making excuses... ... You don't give men enough of your time. As nice as "instant love" would be, there's just no such thing.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

So much for my love life... :)

Bumming Around...

It's 1:30 in the morning. I am about to sleep til it hit me... I am still up in the wee hours of the morning, not because I have a pitch the next day, but just because....ummm... wala lang.

Sad to say, I am still awake for no reason at all. It struck me how much of a bum I have become.
I am so not used to just staying at home, pigging out with all the chocolates I could take hold of (I just nibbled some a while ago. HA!), watching my favorite TV shows, & catching up on missed dvds (I promised myself I'd finish that bunch of dvds I never got the chance to watch). During my sophomore and junior years, you wouldn't find me in my pad. I would be home at around midnight because I spent the whole night at Starbucks or just somewhere outside of my home. On Sundays, I end up doing homework at 11pm just because I was out the whole day. As a kid, my mom would tell me how I couldn't stay at home and have Ayala Cebu as my second home...

And now, look where I am... While most of my friends are soaking under the sun and partying in Bora, I am stuck at home, making up for my missed sleep and domestic life. Staying at home and staring at the computer... O buhay bum.

I have to admit, I am getting the hang of it too. I am starting to enjoy staying at home all by myself. After a stressful senior year, it's about time I do things that I actually enjoy doing... at home. I have done nothing but squeeze my brain to the extreme the past year. I guess I just deserve this break for now.

Bumming around actually gives me a slice of independence (what I lost during my senior year) as well. At the same time, it gives me more privacy, something I am beginning to enjoy lately. I am not a star of some sort, but sometimes, I just feel the need to spend more time with me and think about things, if you know what I mean... Nevertheless, I do not intend to bum around for a long time. This is just a "temporary madness". :)


...But for now, perhaps it's the next best thing. :)

Guess who's back...

She's back.

Somebody from my not-so-distant past is back in the Philippines. After six months of trying it out in the land down under, she has decided to pursue her studies and live life on her own.... in Ortigas. I was pretty shocked when I saw her. It was just a usual rehearsal day when BOOM! She's there. I didn't realize that it would be this soon before she sets foot on Philippine soil again. I have to admit, I was not ready to face her yet. Time hasn't fully healed me yet...

Don't get me wrong, she is not someone whom I have been involved with romantically (for I am not of that kind). She was just once one of my closest friends ever. We practically shared everything, even our home. Yet due to some misunderstandings and unavoidable circumstances (conflict in lifestyles, etc.), we just had to drift apart.

That was a hard stage in my life. Along with her, I felt like I lost all of my friends. I didn't want to make them choose between me and her. That would be very unfair for them. And since at this time she was leaving, I did not want to ruin her last moments with them too.

...That's when true friendship was tested. Among the big gang I used to have, only a handful of them remained to be my close friends, although all of them I am still civil with... the closeness isn't just there anymore. On the other hand, losing some friends gained me more friends.... Thanks to the Ad Congress, I have created super tight bonds with my housemates (that's another story... :D)

It was also a tough stage because I had to think of my friends and/or my family (our families got a bit involved with all this misunderstandings). I realized the importance of my family. It showed me that no matter what happens, my family should always be at the top of my list. Kahit na mawala pa sayo ang ibang bagay na importante sayo, basta pamilya, okay lang. Call me a martyr, but i just love my family very much, even if it meant losing some people in my life.

And now that she's back, I guess I just have to face the fact and try to be civil with her... That's the best I could do for now... until my wounds are totally healed.

Let MY Rat Race Begin!!!

Today, I officially start my jobhunting period.

My friend is coming over so we could help each other out with our resumes and cover letters. We are a bit clueless with what to write because back when we were taught to write cover letters, I dozed off to dreamland (I am still a very good student, sleep just haunts me occasionally). Now, the internet is my best friend, as I seek for various websites that can help me and my friend with our quest for the best jobs.

Jobhunting scares me. The thought of working in itself scares me. I can't believe that I am actually growing up... That I'm not a little girl anymore. Cliche as it may sound, but like Peter Pan, I want to be a child forever. Responsibilities scare me. The thought of paying for my own bills scares me. Heck, the thought of me going to my Makati office scares me.

But reality really does bite. I have to face my fear of growing up. I am not like Peter Pan... I'm a real girl. Like every human being in this world, I need to grow up myself.... well, it won't be bad if I leave a bit of my child-like self right? hehe.

Let my own rat race for THAT job begin.

Adventures of Pandora & Pumpkin

I was browsing through friendster when I suddenly remembered all those wacky moments with my soul sister. haha. :) Here are some:

1.) Getting caught by our teacher... playing MASH. Haha. This tops my list. It was during our Below-the-Line class, and we were having our usual meetings for the event we're organizing (Camp Creatives). The LCD Projector took so long to be set-up, so Nadine and I decided to play MASH. Of course, the names of guys we were in love with (and not) were listed down along with the number of babies we wanted to have and our maids-of honor, when all of a sudden... "Ano yang ginagawa niyo?!?!?!" HAHA. It was our teacher asking for that sheet of paper we've been fussing about. Of course, we hesitated at first, but we eventually surrendered. As he got the paper, his first reaction was, "Ano to, Flames? MAsh?... MASH nga... *laughs*" It was such a shame having the names of the guys written on the paper being said out loud. Lesson learned. As sir would say, "Ayan, kaya walang magmamash sa class ko ha!!!"

2.) Dao Ming Tsu!! Ultimate Secret Admirer... I used to have a little crush (oo, inaamin kong nagustuhan ko siya! haha!) on this guy who's 2 years younger than me and is the smartest in his batch, and we decided to play a little prank on him (for being a too proud at times). In line with Heart's month, his org had envelopes placed around school wherein you could submit poems and whatnots to be published on the valentine's issue of their paper. Being our silly selves, we thought of putting our "declaration of love" in one of the envelopes during our BTL class (crazy things do happen during this class! haha!) My friend placed her sister's cel phone number for him to text once he receives the letter. Unfortunately, he did text her sister.. but her mom was the one who replied. We were dead. He found out about us. haha. And my friend had to apologize of course. When she told her our side, my friend had to fabricate another story to make it sound better for him (he might get really hurt that it was a pure prank, so we added a little color to it). And right after that, everytime we saw the guy in school, we would just burst into laughter with people puzzled about the sudden laughs. Classic. :)

3.) It's Robbie!!!! We were catching the next show for Comedy of Errors, and from my place, we went to school. In the elevator, we were having our usual chats when we suddenly stopped at the 5th floor.... Low and behold, it's Robbie!! Robbie (as we love to call him) was this guy my friend met when we were having our "gembang" moment at Ponti. My friend told this guy her name was "Robbie", and we eventually found out he's from school too. My friend had no intention to know him, so she was slowly veering away from Robbie. hehe. From that day on, we would avoid hanging out at the Ledge because he's usually there. haha.... And now, of all the places, we would be caught in the same elevator with him! haha. Of course, I was the only one who noticed, so I looked pretty silly in the elevator, trying to hide my laughter. When we got down, my friend was even teasing me how I checked out Robbie, but NO!! I told her, "Gagee, yun yung guy na nagpakilala sayo sa Ponti!" HAHA. Next thing you know, we were just laughing until we reached school. :)

Gosh, I could go on forever with our adventures... haha.
Makes me miss my senior year :(
