:: Tantra ::

Recently, I've been too caught up between my OJT and my thesis. I'm getting pretty much tired and so I often tell my boss that I won't be coming in for a few days since I'm busy working on my thesis, NOT!

Anyway, I became amused with this new game my friends are now hooked on. Wala na kasi akong mga kalaro sa DotA, they're all into Tantra kaya napasali na rin ako. I like my 2nd character, an archer. I'm so confident with my character since I totally adore archers, I'm an avid greenarchers fan too. Hehe.

My character is an Asura. Coming from a Hindu mythology, the Asura are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes misleadingly referred to as demons. They were opposed to the devas. Both groups are children of Kasyapa. The name is cognate to Aesir, which implies a common Proto-Indo-European origin for the Asura and the Aesir.

Oh, I'm interested in different kinds of mythologies too. Whether Roman, Greek (wherein most gods and goddesses are confused with the Romans), Norse, Celtic, Asian and the like.

:: happiness ::

I've constantly been looking for this thing called happiness. Fulfillment. Satisfaction. It seems there's always this emptiness, a hole that needs to be filled. With something. I'm not quite certain if it is with something, or someone.

So, I am on a search, to find answers to this inquisitive mind of mine.


La dee dah, dee dah.

:: AGLOCO ::

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

And if you're interested, you can click on this link here ^_^

:: Thank God ::

After forty eight years of waiting for the blogger main page to load completely, finally, finally.. I am logged in. It's like I've been away from my home. Hayy, what a relief it is to know I can blog again. I got a bit annoyed at the connection thing.
Anyway, good thing I've written something while I was busy watching the boob tube.

----->
Some TV commercials are somehow funny. Annoying too cheesy, but still it's funny. Well, funny enough for me to think of other things that would actually happen other than what was presented on the commercial. Hehe.

------>

The day I read about Ely Buendia's (Eraserheads frontman) sudden heart attack made my heart stop for like, 2 seconds.
But good thing God has shown once again his great power, as He helped Ely recover from that heart-breaking situation.
I was never a band-fan, neither was I prone on getting highly addicted to a group of guys strumming, drumming and singing along. But this guy, this guy Ely is truly a remarkable person. He has been a highly respected icon and is still one too. And I know myself, I only give recognition and appreciation to those who really deserve it. I know talent, I know soul, and this guy is packed with a lot of it. He has made a very huge impact to the industry as well as to me. With his raw and as-if-just-a-conversation type of songs, who wouldn't take another peek at them, the immortal Eraserheads. His compositions has raised and made potential and worthy up and coming bands. He has contributed so much to the music industry. It was devastating to know of Eraserhead's disbandment, but I guess we'll just have to understand and support whatever their decision was. Though, it was relieving enough to hear and see him still performing and producing more songs for the entire nation, heck, even for the world to hear. May God Bless you more Mr. Ely Buendia. God still wants you to touch more lives and influence those youngsters with your kind of talent. He wants you more to be just than an icon. Indeed, you are a force to be reckoned with. ^_^

I've started on my On tje Job Training at a friend's shop. I'm based on Graphics Design. It's really embarassing, but I don't have that much strong background on designs and stuff. Hayy, I need to improve. Aja to me.

I know you missed me.

:: Thank You note ::

This is a Thank You post to all those who happens to pass through here. For those who finds enough time to just read whatever it is I blab about and for those who were consistent in commenting on my posts. A big hug, and a gazillion (if there ever was) thank yous!.. ^_^

Just recently, I received an email from my Tita. My ever childhood nightmare. As a kid, I was so afraid of her. Forget the boogeymans, forget the ghouls and ghosts. She was far more the worst experience ever. Although I must admit that this was because I've been one bad kid before. She had had fights with my other uncle and with my mom because of me. She was the spanking-type to implement discipline. I've suffered roughly before, but being the quiet kid I never said anything since it was part my fault anyway. Bruises and wounds, that's what I got. It was discipline. As a kid, it was torture.
But we got along well now. Remember from my orevious post, about me taking care of my tita at the hospital? It's her. I often tell myself that because of those things she did to me before she's paying for it now. I thought that if anyone messed with me, they'd end up like her. But then, I realized that it was a really mean thing to say and that I've come to know the bubbky-weird tita I never knew. I was a bit surprised to know that she has a Friendster account (and yes, she added me).
And because of all this crashed internet connection thing, I blogged at Friendster. The 2 posts before this were what I wrote at Friendster. And within a couple of days after posting them, I checked my mails and i was really surprised (as in to the max), that she emailed me. The subject was "Galing mo darl". I was a bit hesitant to read the email since it kinda gave that mocking impression on me. I thought that maybe I did something wrong and she will yet again reprimand me. But I still read it, imagine my amazement to what she wrote..

"Hi Darl.Read ur blog at friendster, and gosh was I surprisedto know ur talent in writing! Very good!!! Do continue exploring the horizon, and right you are, be a better you!I did try posting a comment at friendster but the connection isnt that good and so I just emailed u tolet u know that I am so proud of u.....do hope this wont get to ur head ha! A swollen head wont get u nowhere, always maintain a low profile. As it is you've come along way and Im so glad at your progress.Just bear in mind that being in good in whatever u do is coupled with spiritual backup, dont forget that! Do good always, listen to your mom and to everyone who wants u to be a fine young lady. And dont forget Darl that even when I do go occasionally get mad at u, uknow that I will always love u. Remember that! U may think that u are always the butt of my anger but u know its for your own good. K? Till the next email....

Tita Guapa (Hehehe)"

I literally shouted, being in a room with my friends, with utter amazement and gladness. It's little things like this that makes me feel a whole lot better. Knowing that at least I've been doing something right. Happy shalalala!

So in conclusion, love is a physical thing. Hehe. So expect a lot of beating from me, just so you'll know how I feel for you. Hehe. ^_^

:: What A Journey It Has Been ::

I'm proud to say that I can now vote. What a journey it has been, literally.
Tina informed me at about 10 am Decemeber 30 that THAT was the last day for the registration for a voter's id. I got up and ready so fast, my mom even scolded me about why I didn't register earlier. I couldn't answer.

Anyway, so we were there at the Magsaysay Park, where I swore never to go back to since the area was really dangerous. I mean, with all those hooligans living near there. We saw tons of kids our age there, waiting for something and so we lined up too. Not knowing which District was which. From here on, I have wanted to complain about the unorganized system of the Comelec. They handed out forms and the people acted all crazy, grabbing each paper they could see, as if it was money that was being given away. Me and Tina decided to NOT continue on for that day, since one of the police officers said that there were no more applicaton forms. As we walked away, bearing in mind that we will return the next day, we wondered that how can they run such a system and tell the people that there weren't any more forms when in fact the working citizens here in Davao has been paying and contributing so much. How can they not have enough budget for this sorts of things. I told Tina, there was a conspiracy behind all this. (hehe)

December 31, 2006. I didn't sleep at all, I got dressed at around 1:30 am. Supposedly I was going to eat at Beiah's house, unfortunately my mom told me it was too risky to go out that early, and so I just lied down and watched TV. I left at about 4:30 am. I went to Tina's house so we could go together along with her friend (who by the way wa a really big help to us). Seeing from afar, people had already piled (take note, not line, but pile) up. Waiting for the gates of the park to open. When it's strictly supposed to open at 8:00 am. We waited there for about 3 hours. Good thing it wasn't that hot and being small is a great thing since I could just easily use a taller person as my shade. (hehe). I didn't have anything to eat that day, so i munched on some fresh mints Tina had with her. While standing there, in a crooked line, there were a lot of annoying people there, cracking unsolicited jokes and talking as if there was no tomorrow. My ghulay! Buti na lang I kept my composure, else I would've screamed my head off.

The gates opened and people were like, running towards the office. Running like mad, as if there was a Tsunami phenomena. Really, if you were only there, you can see how stupid people really are. We walked normally, looking for any line. And so we got in the line as well. Waiting, under the slowly burning rays of the sun, for our turn to get the forms. May sumingit, some pushed and some were just plain unhygienic. Haven't they ever heard of a deodorant? A body spray perhaps? We had to be persistent in getting a form. But I was too weak to continue on with all the standing and smelling of those horrendous scents. Syet. Mix dog poo and a pig sty plus a sweaty underarm right beside you. Who would stand such unsanitary situation. Anyway, I told Tina I couldn't breathe anymore since it was already suffocating to just be in there. Iniipit na kasi nila kami, to think we have the bodies of a kid! No mercy talaga. I looked for the nearest canteen, I figured I was getting dehydrated. Tina joined me after a few minutes, I guess she couldn't stand it too. We strolled around for a bit and went back to see how the line went. Kumonti na lang yung tao, because this certain police officer said there weren't any more forms, naubos na raw. So ayun konti na lang, but I remembered what had happened the day before, yun lagi nila sinasabi just so they can get rid of the other people. How rude! So ayun, nakipila na kami, kapalan na ng mukha, although di pa rin ako nakipagsiksikan ever, I don't want any foul stench sticking on my shirt noh, as well as greasy arms. Eww. We got the forms, filled it up and passed it.
What a journey it has been talaga. After that, I got my hair cut. Went to Church for Sunday mass. Went home. Slept for 30 minutes and went to church again, this time with the family for the New Year mass. Got home, ate and slept a bit. What a way to celebrate the last day of 2006 and to start of with 2007.

January 01, 2007. Went to our cousin's house and nakikain. I ate everything I could put in my stomach. Everything looked so yummy. Fortunately, di pa naman ako tumataba. Hehe. The offered me some wine too, to which I hesitantly accepted. Nung Christmas pa kasi nila ako pinapainom nun. Masarap. I didn't get the name of the wine though. :P

January 03, 2007. Went back to Magsaysay to have my picture taken para sa voter's id thing. And luckily, konti lang talaga ang tao, as in mabibilang mo lang. I worried before that the place would be swarmed by the same smelly folks and my preppy look would be ruined, pero hindi. Wahahaha. Everything went smoothly, I still had to make Tina come with me, kasi wala lang, para may kasama ako. Hehe. An optimist and a pessimist. After everything we've been through, I've realized that it wasn't the Comelec's system that was the only one at fault, but of the people there as well, shoving, yelling and acting like monkeys. Truly we are Pinoy. We went to school afterwards, chatting with the teachers. Talking about the OJT(On the Job Training). I had them make me a form for applying as an OJT at link2support. hehe.

Indeed, it has been a remarkable day. I feel so blessed and lucky. It is the year of the pig, but I don't care about that. All I care about is the fact that it's the year 2007. 7.. siyete.. pito.. Seven. My favorite number. A starting point of my career, spiritual and psychological growth. Be a better me.

:: Freakin Internet Connection ::

This earthquake that happened in Taiwan had disrupted all possible internet connection here in the Philippines. How unfortunate for us bloggers to not use Blogger services due to this natural cause. Reports said that several Undersea Cables were cut. The earthquake struck Taiwan at 10:26pm on Tuesday - exactly the second anniversary of the deadly Asian tsunami, there were even warnings by seismologists that giant waves will hit the Philippines. This fortunately didn’t happen.

So basically, I had come to a decision that I'll be blogging here in Friendster for a while until all connections are well and restored. Sheesh. Friendster's like so fast in loading, it really amazed me. Huwwaaattt!!!

Anyway, what a way to start a brand new year! I've noticed that almost everyone at home had the flu. (Unfortunately, I caught it too) Hey! It rhymes. Hehe.

Last year, I was checking on my friend's phone, and I wondered why there weren't any messages in her inbox. To which she said that it was to sort of a way para salubungin ang bagong taon. So, away with the old messages and in with the new. Starting January 2007. I've also deleted every message left in my inbox. And as this new year had begun, a lot of thank you and sorry messages had been passed to everyone. It really is funny how we only realize to start thanking and apologizing to everyone just as the year ends.
But there was this message that struck me the most, amidst all the messages I've received this year. I'd keep it. It was from Beiah, a dear friend of mine. ^_^ Biyah!! Hehe.
Her messages goes:

Darl, magdrama lang ko kadali ha (Darl, magdrama muna ako ha) :)

I want you to know that I'm very thankful having you around. You always help me, rescue me and inspire me in times when I badly need someone to mend my aching heart. There were times that I disappointed you and I'm sorry for that. I hope what we had in the past year will grow lovelier not only this year but forever. I VALUE YOU a lot and I just don't wanna lose one true friend like you. :)

Happy Boinky year. :) _beiah_

Why post it? Because, I want myself to reflect on the things I've done the past year. I've gotten myself involved in a lot of things. Dragged by my friends here and there. Just so I can accompany them or help them in doing something. Though I sometimes complain on why they always ask me to do things, it's not because I'm the only one they can push around. It's a matter of thinking how they treasure you and regard you as someone who can be depended on. Someone responsible, though I've never been really that responsible. It's nice to know that someone thanks you for the things, even the smallest ones, that you've done or do for them.
This year, I have no other resolution but to be a better me. Since I don't want to be stuck on following a list of what nots and other stuff, I'd rather just keep in mind that I should do better, if not the best, make it be for what's better. Life is full of surprises, and as how I see it, I've grown (not physically) but spiritually and mentally throughout the past years. This year will be a bit more fruitful. The mind is a very powerful thing, and so I'm setting it to a more positive outlook and strong grasp in everything that'll come my way.

Life is what you make it.

:: new internet explorer ::

Just as how Yahoo has been copying Google, and Friendster from Myspace, the IE (internet explorer) has it's other version. Just like the Firefox Mozilla. It consists of tabs and shiny buttons (hehe). The image you see here is made possible through this option called "Quick Tabs", wherein you can actually see just in one page all the pages in your tabs. Cool. Faster too. Iba pa rin ang orig. I'd still go for Mozilla Firefox, it's much safer. :)

This is one holiday techie update for this blog. ^_^

----->

I've caught a flu. This only happens like 8 times in a decade. Yeah, it's so rare. Good thing I don't have a fever, or else I'd be all grumpy and stuff. Hehe.

------>

I'm looking forward to another year of renewal and forgiveness. I don't have any New Year's resolution since I can't do most of the things I put in there. I'm simply keeping in my mind that the coming new year will be the start of a fresh, might-be-rocky journey and fun-filled learnings for me. And even though our ever dearest Mayor Duterte has prohibited the use of fireworks and the like here in our city, we can still shout our hearts out para naman makapag-ingay. It's a good excuse for the people around you to think that you're not insane. ^_^

10th station

Welcome to the 10th station.

Hey! Here's an assurance from your one and only angel.




Now... go back to your angel for the 11th message.

Merry Christmas everyone!

:: Happy Holidays ::

I was kinda hesitant about updating for today.
Honestly, I can't feel the season right now. It's kinda empty. We greet each other pero there's this hole, a blank mark with those greetings. It just doesn't feel right.

I have completed the Misa de Gallo.
Something's just not right.
Hayy, may kulang.
Another sad Christmas for me.

:: overtime ::

I have to be at my Tita's office tomorrow for their Christmas party. She says there'll be teens there too so it wouldn't be too awkward for me. And I have to present something just in case her officemates decides to have an intermission shitty thing during their "program".
Ever since I was a kid, I've been spending most of my free time at my Tita's office (DTI). Her friends there adored me *humble*. Being a kid, wala pa akong hiya nun. If they told me to dance, I would or do something that kids do that adults found cute and entertaining. Now, I'm at that age where just by mentioning what I did before would make me turn red with embarassment. But my tita had me picture out the situation for tomorrow. That if I refused or will be OA and turn away her friends would say "Ano ba yang pamangkin ni Nemia.. and blah blah blah. So there.

Now, I'm watching Justin Timberlake's music video, My Love. And yeah, you got that right, that's what I would be performing tomorrow. The moves are freakin hard but I have to exert that extra effort for tomorrow. And if I can't seem to follow all the steps, I've made sure I have that Totoy Bibo song ready just in case. Oh, and that Boom Tarat Tarat too. Hehe.

and if you'd excuse me, I have to go back to my dancing. ^_^
Lovely evening ^_^

:: here it is ::

Here's my sister and me.

Remember, she's OLDER than me. *hehe*

After the morning mass, I slept after eating. And woke up at exactly 3:12pm. Too early right?

Anyway, while eating my lunch/merienda. My uncle comes to the kitchen and says something about an accident. My cousin was beside me, reading his magazines.

Uncle: Grabe, may banggaan dun sa tapat ng Davao Light. Isang taxi, multicab at motor.

Aaron(my cousin): Talaga? Sino may kasalanan?

Uncle: (still talking about how grabe the incident was)

Aaron: may namatay ba?

Uncle: Oo meron. Grabe talaga.

Aaron: Oh? ilan? (anxious)

Uncle: Tatlo, yung makina ng taxi, multicab at nung motor.

Wooo, let's all give a big round of applause for my dear uncle.

------>

I hate this guy sitting right next to me. He's so obnoxious. And his hygiene doesn't even help at all too. He often shoves me (accidentally), I look at him and he doesn't apologize. Plus, he's so loud. Bullcrap, I wanna throw him out of this cafe. I really want to stab something super sharp at his back right now.

Grrrrrr.

------->

Oh, it's our 2nd monthsary. Me and my special someone.

Happy Monthsary to my no. 1 fan. Hehe.

:: Boink ::

What if I told you I have a twin?

Well, I have a sister. An older one to be exact *by two years*. We kinda look so much alike that we're referred to as twins. The resemblance is just so astonishing. Only, she has longer and curlier hair. She's also smaller than me. Hehe.

Last Saturday, out of the blue my brother wanted me, my sister and him to meet at the Coffee Monster. And to my utmost surprise, he treated us out for a snack. Which, according to 19 years of history, he hasn't done that, like EVER. And just that day, us three bonded. Although we didn't talk like the way a chicken clucks. Me and my brother doesn't talk that much anyway, only about computer stuff. Then my sister, umm, she's funny. Somehow, it scares me whenever ai hear her laugh or even speak, it's as if I'm actually talking to myself.

We rarely see each other since we don't live under one roof. I'm proud to say I already am a Tita. My sister has a cutie baby boy named Gab. And believe it or not, me and the kid kinda look alike, of course when I was at his age. ^_^

It's so funny yet disturbing to see that kid's mannerism. Like, you give him a lollipop right, then this person asks for the candy and you know what the kid does? He throws it, and no not AT the person, he throws it instead at the side. I'm kinda wondering where he got that kind or mannerism. =P

And now, after so many lost years of not being able to bond or stuff, we finally had kept in touch. Thanks to whoever made the first ever cellphone.

------->

Last night was Beiah's debut. She looked pretty in her princess-like dress and her little crown. The food was great and the people, well they're OK.
I got to see friends again whom I haven't seen for like ages.
We performed, it was fun.
She had a very tearful heart warming speech (I think, since everyone was secretly crying).
After that, we all went home. Not much detail about her debut.
All I can say is that, it was soooo nice. Unlike any other birthday celebrations I've ever been invited to.
It was funny because, I was part of the 18 memoirs wherein I had to say something about her, how we met and what I think about her. And honestly, I hadn't prepared anything. So at that moment while we weren't being called yet, I looked for something to write on. And luckily I found a paper in my wallet. Which had my grades printed on it. I only made a few sentences but I guess it hit home.
Before that though, someone wasn't able to come earlier so they had to rearrange the list of people who were supposedly part of the 18 candles which on her party, was referred to as 18 hopes. Out of 200 people there, I was asked to fill in the part, and yeah, I had to write down another letter for her. I'm amazed at how I can easily generate messages on the spot. *humble?*

"We scorpios are strong, passionate and driven. No matter how hard the situation is, we never give up, instead we find ways to overcome the problem. Oh, and we're good-looking too."
*part of my speech*

Before I gave mine, I apologized for not being that prepared and that I had written my letter for her at the back of paper where my grades were printed. It's a good thing I got a warm response, or I'd be shaking more like crazy up stage.

*bow*

Haayyy.

:: The Cashier Girl's Debut ::

You all know about where me, Giovanne, Red and the rest of the DotA people play right? At Cindrew's Cafe (the first class internet cafe in the city *plastikan*). There's this cashier girl here who we happened to befriend after several days of playing here. FC (feeling close). Last night was her birthday, a debut to be exact. And guess who were part of the whole entourage? Me and some of the customers at the cafe. Hehe. She joked about me being part of the 18 roses. I was supposed to be part of the 18 candles, unfortunately I would have to wear that dreadful tube-like shiny pinky I don't know what the heck that was. So I declined and said I'd only be part of the other kind of skemamu. 18 treasures it is.
The place where the debut was held was small. Enough for about 30 people or 50. There wasn't any grand dance presentation or something only in the 18 roses part. After 48 years of waiting for the debutante, she finally showed up, all dressed in pink. It was cute. We ate before starting the whole program thing since everyone was ranting about being hungry and all. The program started and it was nice.
Among the guests, ours were the loudest. Bugoy as what they'd call it. Then before the debutante was about to change to another gown, the MC offered the mic to anyone who wants to present a song. And since it was sorta like a karaoke style. I summed up enough courage to show off my thunder-summoning talent. Yes, for the first time, out of the karaoke bars, I sang in public. I don't know what the heck went through my head, and so there, I sang WEAK (this is the only song I happened to memorise the lyrics). I lost the kaba part at the half end part. After I finished, I didn't get mobbed and had tomatoes thrown at me, so I figured I kinda sounded a bit, take note A BIT good. That was a first time ever thing for me so pardon if I act like a six-grader winning a medal for a declamation speech.

After the party, they all wanted to drink and talk. So that's exactly what happened. Of course, since I haven't been that well from our last trip, I declined drinking. Instead I just smoked a few packs, este sticks. They finished like, 10 bottles of RedHorse Grande. And what we talked about? Our DotA experiences, the best and the worst plays. Who played which hero best and who sucked at it. They told me I played Jakiro the best, being able to buy an Ultimate Orb in just level 6 and being able to complete a Skadi recipe in just level 12. Thanks to a great mentor, Ppet (Giovanne's love), I know what items to buy to make my heroes much stronger. ^_^ Giovanne was there too, and no he didn't get drunk easily. As they finished the last bottle, we all decided to play DotA afterwards. Headed to BoyzTrek. Only me, Giovanne, Franco, Red, Rex and Ced played since most of the went home already. We took a beating on the first game, but managed to stay a bit strong at the second. Talo pa rin, but still it was ok. We went home at about 5 in the morning (kanina). My mom didn't scold me about going home so early THE next morning, hehe. But she told me about going to this meeting so I better wake up early if ever I sleep. So there.

The meeting, Stockholder's meeting at University of Mindanao. It looked like a flea market, much more organized than before though. I got my attendance reward and took off with my Tita. Ate, went to the mall to buy new headphones, went here at Cindrew's, still suffering from nausea (don't worry, I smoked a couple of sticks so the feeling's a bit gone now) and oh, Giovanne already went home to his hometown, Compostela Valley. ^_^

:: Samal Trip ::

Last Friday (December 08, 2006), we went to Island Garden City of Samal for our Christmas party. Even though konti lang kami, we got to enjoy our trip there.
Ang usapan eh 10:30am magkikita sa school para sabay-sabay na kami papunta dun.
It was alreay 12noon when everyone decided to go already.
It was an hour safe ride papunta dun.
When we got there, it was like we had the place all to ourselves, not minding a couple of people who were there playing very-last-season songs.
And just as I remembered it, the place was really nice. Clear waters. Cool breeze. White sand.
At lunch time, we ate at this carinderia just near the resort. We sat at the center. Imagine eating a hearty meal while having a pig slaughtered at your left. That's why I only ate halo-halo, which I didn't finish since I didn't understand the taste. I wasn't that hungry anyway.
It was late in the afternoon when we agreed to take a plunge into the water. I made sure I brought enough clothes (and underwear). I was the most prepared of them all. Hehe.
At dinner, I made sure I ate enough so I wouldn't get drunk so easily since I was responsible for mixing the drinks and stuff.
Ginpo + Ginpine = happy time!
Good thing Giovanne behaved that time. He drank Vodka and a few glasses of the GP(GinPo). I thank God so very much for not making Jonalyn so drunk that time. If that would have happened, we'd be running for our lives because she has this habit of chasing people even if they just talk or whisper. And worse, we would have a hard time carrying her back to the cottage. It would take 10 Maskulados to carry her to the room (hehe).
That night was crazy, I got so dizzy (not drunk, mind you). I made sure I threw up enough to make me sleep. And I slept for like, 5 hours. I was in between Renel and Jonalyn. I thank the Lord again for not letting them squish me. It's really a danger zone if you're anywhere near Jonalyn kapag lasing siya, she'll throw you out if she gets irritated. And she gets irritated so easily.
I woke up first. I went out of the cottage and watched the sun rise. Tear-jerker (pero hindi, haha!) After a couple of minutes, the guys came out of their room. Inayos namin yung table since we didn't get the chance to clean the place before dozing off.
Breakfast? We ate, and it was a hearty meal even though I couldn't taste anything quite properly.
We took a dip again before the sun could barely make it easy for us to swim.
After lunch, Renel wanted to take pictures (pictorial time for him). So we went island hopping.
First: Vanishing Island.
Being there's so nice. It was like stranded with a bunch of hoohaas in the middle of nowhere, good thing that was only an imaginary thought.
The view from there was nice We had dozens of pictures.
Second: Cave-like island.
They said there were plenty of snakes there, it was a heart-pounding stop there. A few pictures and we were off, back to Kaputian.
I dreaded not being able to get a seat on the ferry pauwi so I urged my friends to prepare themselves and pack their things just to make things sure.
After placing our bags on the ferry, we ate halo-halo at another stall. The lady's halo-halo was much better than what we ate before.
We waited for about 2 hours for the ferry to be filled with enough people, the wait wasn't exactly that boring since Johnnel and Giovanne made us laugh throughout the wait. At exactly 4:05pm, we were heading back to Davao.

Back in Davao.
We all went home. Me and the guys agreed to meet up at the cafe after getting a shower. I went home, unpacked, bathed, dressed up and decided to go to the cafe. Just as I was to ride a jeepney going to the cafe, my highschool kabarkada texted me that it was her daddy's birthday and I was invited. Good thing it was just a few walk from where I was standing hailing a public transportation. When I got there, it was definitely classy. It was a restobar. Hazel's restobar. The owner, Hazel, was my kabarkada's daddy's girlfriend. There was a function room upstairs, dumiretso na ako dun. My friend's dad wasn't around yet. There was a karaoke in the function room. (I'm a hog with karaoke). My friend said we could just order anything we want. By hearing that, my ears tingled and my eyes sparkled. Anything. Tamang-tama coz I was really hungry. I ate till I dropped. I didn't get the chance to finish the Blueberry Cheese Cake, the taste didn't quite appeal to me. I'm just thankful for making me feel full.
I was supposed to sing Half-Crazy (dedicated to my special someone) when my mom called me. She said there was a midnight sale at the mall and we were gonna go. So I didn't get the chance to sing it and my mom picked me up from the place and off to the mall. I got to buy the blouse I had to wear for a friend's debut (the girl at the cashier from our friend's cafe). I think it was pink, but when I got a closer look, it was pomelo pink. Cute. I love the sleeves.
Bought what we need, and so we went home, tired. I still felt like I was swaying. Up until now, as I'm writing this. I'm dizzy. I still can't taste anything. Oh well. That was it, I didn't get the chance to play DotA nor O2Jam. Huhu. Level 9 na ako. Naunahan ko pa si Giovanne. Haha!
