The Weekend That Was

Because I’ve been feeling used, misused, abused, taken for granted, repressed and borderline depressed for the past few, I had to do things and see people to keep me sane. Or at least make me seem sane. Didn’t really work, actually. Madness is difficult to mask. :p Oh well, here’s a hodge-podge of the weekend that was.

After Friday’s shift, I went to a Tunog Kalye thingie in Blue Wave. It took forever for my cousin to follow because of the Makati traffic and her Pong Pagong ways, but all went well. I was psyched to see her. The people we were with still found it hard to believe we’re related. Mukha kasi s’yang mabait. And ako… well… mukha akong… naughty. ‘Wag naman salbahe. :p

Twas fun to see long lost acquaintances in Blue Wave. It’s been so long since I last kicked it with a band. (Haha. Kicked what? I kicked asssss!!!) Basta. Wala na ako alam. Sorry na. Balik R&B ako eh.

Then 12ish, G dropped by. I didn’t expect that he would since I was so used to plans getting canceled and shit. Don’t get me wrong. I understand perfectly. GF muna bago lahat. Ako rin naman eh. BF muna bago lahat. (Di’ba Donne, ikaw una sa lahat? Hahaha!) Anyhoodles, goodie that he followed. It’s been almost a year since we last saw each other. It’s still hard for me to believe that he’s ( a bit) serious about life now.

No biggie. I’m just happy I saw him again. Masaya mang-asar. (Lomo! Lomi!) He had to meet up with his guy friends and see the gf pa after. Isn’t that sweet? Nagbagong buhay na talaga! *roll eyes* Hehehe!

I and G . Friendship is possible.

Sabi ko nga. Things change, people change, situations change. Guess what remains the same. If you guess it right, may premyo ka sa akin. Si Ate Bec lang malamang makakasagot. Afterall, siya lang naman ang nakakaalala. Hahaha!

(Ok, ok. Inside joke. :p)

Blah blah blah, got to drink Stong Ice after Strong Ice again. Pucha. Balik sa ginagawang tubig ang beer. This is bad. Somebody, stop me! If no one can stop me, join me in drinking na lang. Hehe.

Saturday was tiring I went to work with barely 2 hours of sleep. Tipong, hangover na maka-untog sa pader ang ulo na sakit. I spent a couple of minutes in the clinic for a health break. (Translation: nap) After the nap and a bowl of Chowking Wanton Soup, I was ok. Ready pa sana for action, but I knew I just had to go home and rest.

So I went home early Saturday night and spent my time, conceptualizing my personalized gifts for people dear to me. 🙂 Yeah. The wall or table question has something to do with my gift. It’s wholesome, mind you, just so you don’t get weirded out.

Sunday. I went shopping with my parents in ATC. It was a bit depressing since I didn’t get to buy anything for myself. Puro pang-Christmas gifts. 😦 Not that i don’t want to buy stuff for people. Just that I’m desperate to buy new shoes. Bwiset lang that my feet are too big. Laging walang size for me. Bwiset. Bwiset!!! Dapat talaga, nung bata ako nagfumeeling na lang ako na Chinese at pinagsuot ako ng sapatos na bakal. Mala-Lotus Feet…

Razon’s halo-halo lang ang nakapagpasaya sa akin sa ATC. first time ko lang kasi makain. Yum! Perfect halo-halo for me who’s not really a fan of uber sweet concontions. Four ingredients lang pero super sarap. Now I have a reason to go back to ATC’s foodcourt.

Yummmmmmmmm!!!

When I was waiting for my Mom to finish shopping, I went to Delifrance for my favorite Classic Capuccino. I already invited people for my 19th birthday salubong. Sana lang, mag-confirm na at least 3/4’s of my barkada/tropa so that I can reserve the function room of Tides.

Tides. So I went there with Jayvee tonight. Siguro naman from Online Buddy/Pseudo-neighbors pwede na kaming maging Friends. Especially after meeting the Captain Water and his crew. Haha.

I’m officially in love with Tides’ Sunrise. It’s pineapple-orange juice plus a splash of Jagermeister. 🙂

Sunday Night Dweenkeeng

And yeah, about love. since I’ve been asked around 10x this weekend how my lovelife is, let me repeat…

*yawn*

What a fun, funny, tiring weekend.

I better sleep now. May pasok pa ako bukas. Errr… mamaya pala. And God knows how much I hate Mondays again.

The rest of the pictures are in my Multiply, naka-privy. They’re only for people who can relate and people who have a long patience for my kababawan and my kabaliwan.

Wednesday Unsober Kwento

Like I said in the previous entry, Wednesday was going to suck big time. Well, it did. I hated yesterday am. It was appalling in different levels. But since I asked God “ibalato niyo na po sa akin ang Wednesday”, He took pity on me and made my pm f-u-n. 🙂

Sup Wiley bought a Toffee Nut Frappe for me because I won a contest. Wahah. Coffee and picture taking- good combo to reduce stress. Really.

When I found out that I wouldn’t be able to watch Enchanted, I decided to go to Antipolo instead. But I didn’t want to consider a sleepover in QC, so I just followed Donne in Ice VodkaGreenbelt. While he was on a meeting, I spoke with Chris over the phone and asked him if he already watched Enchanted.

“Why? Are you asking me out?”
“Lul mo. I was just going to ask if it’s good. Kung ikaw lang, yayayain na lang kita uminom noh. Tssssh.”
“I don’t want to watch that movie anyway.”
“Even if you do, I ain’t watching it with you.”
“Haha. Manood ka mag-isa.”
“Mukhang ganon na nga. Haha. Sira ulo ka ha.”

After Donne’s meeting and my kulitan with Chris, we headed back to BF. Tides.

I saw 2 of my long lost friends. KC and Kiwi!

I also reunited with Strong Ice. And Sunrise!

Talked about hosting and how to entertain a crowd, casual sex (I had to cover my virgin ears,) and old friends breaking up.

Blah blah blah. I’m a bit buzzed now, so excuse me for the kababawan.

An all-time important person in my life told me he’s going to my birthday! Haha, that is if I celebrate it on the 20th. :p La lang. I’m just surprised that he promised to go. (But what is a promise, really?!) Wheee. Gift! I think I know what I want from him. Hehe. (No, pervert. Not that.)

I finally admitted to Donnie that I think about ___ 75% of the time. Blank is not a name of a person, mind you.

When I arrived home, I saw these on our dining table.

Awwww… 🙂 I didn’t expect that Jay would still get these for me. Yep. Cactus with pink flowers (blossoming na) and wine. (I didn’t ask for wine pala. Sinama lang n’ya.) I’m impressed. That’s it. Walang follow-up. Di ko pa napa-process. Saka na ‘pag sober na ako. Hehe.

At wala ng pakialaman kung bakit kelangan ang cactus galing Baguio. Dum bi dum.

Goodnight, world!

:)(:

🙂 I didn’t get late for work. Abot sa 5minute-grace period. Tinakbo ko ang Valero-Dela Costa papuntang BPI-Buendia Center. Thank God I wasn’t wearing heels.

😦 No more Multiply in my work station. Firewall’s back.

🙂 Wheee! Gonna watch Enchanted tomorrow.  James Marsden… *droooool*

😦 Sandro’s uncle passed away. I’m sure he’s on his way to heaven.

*moment of silence*

🙂 He has a new angel.

😦 Marvin’s father-in-law passed away, too. Yes, as in Marvin my ex. I don’t like Grace you know, but I still feel bad for her. May his soul rest in peace.

🙂 I qualified a lot of applicants today. More than the quota.

😦 My friend’s brother didn’t certify in our company’s training.

🙂 I went to Jap’s house for dinner and drinks. yummmm! Baked chicken, chicken fajitas, and Red Horse. Hehe.

😦 Had to go home early, ‘coz I have a new sched tomorrow, 11am-8pm.

🙂 But I got Mel to swap scheds. I’ll have the 10am-7pm shift tomorrow.

😦 I don’t know if it’s a wise move that I swapped scheds with her, though. Oh Lord, ibalato n’yo na please sa akin itong Wednesday. Please, please, please!

🙂 It’s Ate Haydee’s birthday tomorrow. I picked up the expression, “Darkness!” from her.

😦 I wouldn’t be able to go to her party. It’s too far. Antipolo is a planet away from Paranaque.

🙂 It’s Ate Thelma’s birthday, too. She was my co-trainer back in Magister.

😦 I miss my colleagues soooo much. And I wouldn’t be able to go to their Christmas Party. Alanganin. Wednesday next week.

🙂 Talked to Marc earlier in YM. He’s in L.A. now but will be back here tomorrow. We’re gonna drink soon. He said he has a lot of kwento. I miss our drinking sessions with Ate Bec and James. And the songs and the jokes. I miss drinking like a fish, sans the nights when I was too wasted and a bit violent.

😦 I have a feeling Wednesday is going to suck. I hope I’m wrong. Oh well, I won’t let it.

Kutob

Early May 2000, sinamahan ko si R, yung sira ulo kong bf that time sa CSB sa course reg niya. Dahil nahalata n’ya na namamatay na ako sa boredom, sabi niya, mag-Torre Lorenzo muna kami to get frappes. At pinayagan pa niya ako magyosi ng isang stick. (Di kasi siya nagyoyosi dati. Hanggang ngayon. Juts lang.) Nung palabas na kami ng Benilde, nakasalubong namin ang babaeng ilang taon ko nang hindi nakita. Ang impakta na si A na sinubukang agawin yung bf ko nung highschool. (Pero di s’ya type. Belat.) Shempre nag-init ang ulo ko. Ok na sana eh. Kaso lang…

Tumingin siya kay R. Medyo matagal. More than 5 nanoseconds! Tapos, nagsmile pa ang impakta sa akin. Pero halata naman na fake. Tapos naglakad na siya palayo. Lumayo siya pero lapit na lapit at lapat na lapat sa utak ko kung paano niya tinignan si R. Malagkit. May pagnanasa. Tangina… danger. DANGER!!! Kutob, kutob… may gagawing masama ito sa amin ng Honey ko. Rawrrr!

Napansin ni R na sumama ang timpla ko kaya tinanong niya ako kung kilala ko rin daw ‘yung dumaan. Ito ang naaalala kong sinagot ko sa in love na in love sa akin na bf ko that time,

“Yeah, I know her. She’s not exactly one of my favorite people in the world. Wanna know why? She tried to steal my boyfriend. Magpapanakaw ka rin ba?”

Shempre sabi niya hindi.

In fairness, hindi nga naman. Nagsplit kami ng June at pagkatapos ng ilang buwan na pagtatago ko sa kanya, nalaman ko na lang na naging sila ng October. Nagkasabay kasi sila sa orientation at naging blockmates pa. Ayun, nagkalapit. Nagkadevelopan.

Sabi ko na nga ba. Iba talaga akong kutuban. Bwiset. Dapat pinagbababaril at hinulog ko na sa imburnal ‘yung talipandas na ‘yun nung highschool pa lang eh. Arggggh. Punyeta pag naaalala, umiinit pa rin ang ulo ko.

Pero sige. Naniniwala naman ako at nararamdaman ko naman na hindi si A ang reason ng break-up namin ni R. Nagmaganda naman talaga ako dati. Akala ko noon, kadakilaan ‘yung pag-let go ko sa kanya. Akala ko ‘yung paghahabol niya sa akin eh sign ng weakness. Anyway, ibang istorya na yan. The point is, bwiset lang na may isusunod na nga lang siya sa akin, ‘yung babae pa na sobrang, nag-uumapaw na ayaw ko.

Tapos kinutuban pa ako… Sabi ko na nga ba magkakarelevance siya sa buhay namin ni R eh. Well, sa buhay namin ng pagiging mag-ex.

Hindi kasi ako selosang gf. Ibang klase kasi ako magtiwala sa bf ko. Pero sana pala, binakuran ko siya dati. Sana pala, napafeel ko kay R na kung papalitan lang rin niya ako, dun na sa mas mabait sa akin. Hindi sa kaugali ni Satanas. At sana nasabi ko kay A na wag s’yang makalapit-lapit sa bf ko kung hindi, guguluhin ko ang buhay niya at sasabuyan ko ng muriatic acid ang pagmumukha niya.

Oh well. Wala na sila. Nagsplit rin sila nung 2003 yata. Nung panahong ‘yun, nagsplit rin kami ni E. Nag-usap kami uli ni R. Wala na kaming sama ng loob sa isa’t-isa noon. Marami-rami rin kaming common friends, kaya hindi maiwasang magkasalubong. Minsan, niyaya niya ako mag-dinner. Sabi ko, sige. After 5 minutes, binawi ko. Baka kasi saan mapunta. Na-turn off ako. Paano ba naman. Malamang, nalawayan na siya ni A. Ewwww.

Bakit ko ito na-post?

1. Bigla ko namiss si R kasi nakita ko ‘yung pic namin na nakahug kami at naka-kiss sya sa noo ko. (Hindi lola-style.)

2. Nakasalubong ko uli si A. Pinagbababaril ko na siya at hinulog sa may talampas. <—- Haha. I wish!

3. Dahil kinukutuban na naman ako. =(
