Pumunta ulit ako sa Antipolo last saturday as planned, this time, kumpleto kami, my parents and my sister Sis Ja were with me, mga 3pm kami umalis ng bahay, pinagpilitan ko talaga yun the night before, na magovernight dun para masulit din tsaka sunday na yung birthday ng ate kong panganay or si Sis C, at the same time.. Mother's Day din kahapon so double celebration. Si daddy nagdrive syempre, beside him was Dora, nasa back seat kami ni Sis Ja, along C5 road, natraffic kami, then nagkatinginan kami ni Sis Ja, madalas kasi 'pag pumupunta kami sa Megamall on taxi, talagang natatraffic kami lalo na pag sa oras na yun, 2-4pm, mga ganung oras expect mo traffic sa C5 lalo na papuntang Megamall but since papunta kaming Antipolo nun, nawala rin ang traffic, nakakamiss yung moment na yun, yung nasa isang car kayo ng family mo, usually kasi ako lang nasa backseat with my parents in front, pero ngayon apat na kami. Pero syempre masaya pa din yung dati nung wala pang may pamilya sa mga kapatid ko, as in kumpleto kaming 6.

Nakarating kami around 4:15pm sa bahay ni Sis C. As usual, chill moments, bonding time with pamangkins, merienda, mananaba talaga ko dun, laging madami at masarap ang pagkain. Todo pang iinggit ko naman kay Sis C kasi napalitan na yung cable provider namin sa bahay, eh kasi sa bahay niya, sky cable pa din with Digibox, eh seniors na mga magulang ko kaya ayaw na nila nun, yung bago naming cable walang digibox tapos mas madami pang channels. One thing na kakaiba talaga dun, ang bagal ng oras, siguro dahil wala kaming ginagawa kundi alagaan mga anak ni ate, manood ng TV, magkwentuhan, kumain, dalawa kasi maids ni ate kaya ayun. After dinner, movie marathon kahit walang mapanood, haha. Walang sawang American Idol, bet ni Sis C si Philip, malamang gwapo, yun pa, ako naman syempre kay Jessica Sanchez and my parents bet on Joshua.

Dahil nabored naman kaming tatlo nila Sis C and Sis Ja, we decided to buy food at 711 sa labas ng subdivision, pero ako lang and Sis Ja ang pumunta, nagbigay na lang ng pera si Sis C, eh buntis naman kasi yun kaya okay lang, pinabili niya sakin either Ruffles, Lays, or Farmer's John and cookies for her kids. Kami naman ni Sis Ja, plan namin bumili ng Magnum ice cream, hindi pa kasi niya yun natitikman, ako naman once pa lang. Si Sis C, mukhang suki, natikman na lahat, pinakamasarap daw is almond, eh favorite niya talaga may almonds while kami naman ni Sis Ja allergic minsan sa nuts. Nilakad namin ni Sis Ja papuntang 711, haha, pero parang ayaw niya nun kasi walking is still a form of exercise, but since bloated kami nung dinner, pumayag na rin siya.

Sa 711, unang unang nakita ko yung Chips Ahoy, then wala akong makitang Ruffles, ang sosyal naman siguro ng 711 kung meron sila nun, nakita ko lang ay Lays and muntikan ko nang hindi mapansin na may Farmer's John, kaya yung dalawa na lang yung binili ko tapos si Sis Ja, siya na bahala kung anong gusto niya bilhin that time, plus our Magnum - almond. Pero gusto ko talaga nun yung truffles. On our way home, kinain na namin yung magnum, hindi na namin binilhan si Dora and daddy, prone sa diabetes eh tsaka matutulog na rin yung mga yun.

Mga 9pm inantok na ko, pero hindi ko alam na maaga pa, akala ko mga 10 or 11pm na that time pero sinabi ni Sis Ja na 9pm pa lang. Nagulat naman ako kasi bakit ganun, ang bagal talaga ng oras pag nandun kami, agree naman siya. Medyo masama naman kasi pakiramdam ko nun, pano ba naman 1 week non-stop si Dora sa paggawa ng mga desert sa bahay, fruit salad tapos saging con yelo, tapos paguwi niya galing ng Batangas, may pasalubong na Blueberry and Strawberry cheesecakes, tarts, and the like. Nagkatonsilitis ako ng saturday morning tapos nadala ko sa Antipolo kaya ayun, pakiramdam ko lalagnatin ako that time pero kumain pa din ako ng magnum noh? then ang sakit pa ng ulo ko, sobra, hindi tuloy ako makatulog nun, pero buti naman paggising ko ng Sunday morning, nawala na tonsilitis ko and medyo nawala na headache ko.



Nagstart na magluto si Sis C with the maids nun, pumunta pa sila sa Lydia's Lechon, pero hindi naman sila bumili ng isang buong lechon, hindi naman kasi kami grabe kumain, buti sana kung andun yung asawa ni ate, meron ng potato salad as always, favorite naming 3 girls, spaghetti, baked salmon, chicken fillet, rice, coke and cappuccino cake. Busolb! Ang hilig din talaga ni sis C sa nuts, kainis, may almonds or whatever nuts are those sa ibabaw ng cappuccino cake, tinanggal ko pa tuloy bago ko kainin, sayang hindi ko napicturan, kaya kumuha na lang ako ng look-a-like pictures from google. Around 2pm, nagtake home kami ng food at umuwi na, pero hindi na kami dumaan ng C5, ang saya.

Motherhood is tough,

no pay, no day off

but even though

motherhood is full of time,

her work is never done.

 

I love you Mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers in the Universe.

Finally, I've decided to make an alternative layout here which I would choose from time to time since I can upload layouts as much as I want here in Tabulas, the dark layout is still up and will always be used whenever I want to.

Anyway, I had a very good day, I've watched the movie Sundays at Tiffany's this morning, I thought it was the movie of Audrey Hepbern, Breakfast at Tiffany's which I haven't watched entirely. The movie is great but its kinda vague about how Michael being an imaginary friend turns out to be real when they grow up. I just wish every imaginary friend is like that, guess its like a dream boy turned out to be real, which I think is impossible to happen because real people aren't perfect.

I'm beginning to like the series Friends with Benefits and the New Girl at Star World, I'm a big fan of Zooey Deschanel, from her dresses, 500 Days of Summer and her voice. I guess I'm tired of the same movies airing over and over again, and thankfully our tv cable will be changed by tomorrow, goodbye Sky Cable. I'm still not in the mood to post the continuation of Cutting Connections, it will be more serious and deeper so I guess I'll have it next week.

We've been planning to go in Antipolo this Sunday, its Sis C's 34th birthday and she doesn't want to go elsewhere beside of her home, so in short, we will not have our swimming outing, yet I'm so excited of what she would cook or prepare, she's an HRM graduate, her pre-law, then took Law after, yes, she's a lawyer because she thought she will earn bunch of money but she recently found out that its not and only going abroad will make her rich. Her dream is not to be a lawyer and help the society, her dream is to have money. Maybe that's why she keeps on telling me to have my own business.

Halfway reading Fundamentals of Nursing. :'> and I definitely miss our swimming lessons. Btw, downloaded one zumba video from Youtube. XDD

Ang hirap maging busy, ang hirap din 'pag hindi busy. Wala ako sa bahay nung nakaraang weekends. Nasa Antipolo ako nung sabado hanggang linggo, sa bahay ng ate kong panganay, let's call her Sis C. Yung madalas kong kasama, yung pangatlo saming magkakapatid, let's call her Sis Ja. Nagpasama kasi sakin si Sis Ja sa binyag nung sabado, so umaga pa lang nagprepare na kami kasi sumabay kami kay daddy sa auto papunta dun. Tuwing saturday, pumupunta dun si daddy, wala lang, may mga apo na kasi parents ko dun kay Sis C. Buntis nga nanaman sa pangatlo si Sis C eh. Si mommy naman naiwan dito sa bahay kasi every weekends may pumupuntang maids dito para maglinis ng bahay, maglaba at magplantsa. Maaga kami pumunta nun, mga 8am nasa Antipolo na kami, isa sa mga subdivisions dun, may bahay din kami dun pero plan namin iparenovate and pag natupad na yun, lilipat na kami for good dun. 11am pa yung binyag sa simbahan ng Antipolo, kaya tumambay muna kami ni Sis Ja, kulitan sa 2 naming pamangkin. Si Sis C ay nagpacheck-up nun kaya hindi namin siya naabutan. 

Mga 10:45am na kami naka-alis papuntang binyag, medyo tumagal ang byahe kasi traffic at matarik, bundok eh. Nung nandun na kami, hindi namin kabisado yung simabahan. Ngayon lang ako nakapasok sa simabahan na may chapel na maliit sa loob mismo, ang alam ko kasi sa mga tabi ng simbahan tinatayo ang chapel. Sa maliit na chapel na yun nagaganap ang binyagan, sa simbahan naman mismo ang misa nung umagang yon. Pagkatapos ng binyag, pinakilala na ko ni Sis Ja sa mga officemates niya, dahil sa layo ng agwat ko sa mga kapatid ko, hindi ata nila alam kung paano ako iaapproach, ni hindi nga ata nila alam na may kapatid pa si Sis Ja na mas bata. Pero ako na rin mismo ang naging madaldal nung nagtagal. 

Pumunta kami sa Savory, malamang, chibugan na! Buti na lang sinama ako ni Sis Ja nun, kasi nakita ko hindi napuno ang restaurant ng mga bisita, inimbitahan pa yung parents nung isang office mate ni Sis Ja. Masaya naman ang kwentuhan, actually puro about kay Sis Ja ang topic. Masaya at proud naman ako kay Sis Ja dahil medyo sikat na siya. Kasama kasi siya sa ipapadala ng bansa natin sa isang leadership training sa iba't-ibang bansa from Citibank, 3 sila pero top 2 siya sa tatlong yun.

Si Sis Ja ay 31 years old, ako ay 21 years old. 10 years ang gap namin, mag 32 na siya sa second quarter of this year, ako din naman mag 22 na sa last month of this year. Si Sis Ja ay single pa, kaya madalas siyang pinapadala sa iba't-ibang bansa ng company niya, may 10 years VISA na siya for abroad. Pwedeng pwede na siya magmigrate dun. Ang daming tanong ng mga officemates niya tungkol dun sa interview, tawanan lahat kasi may isa dun na nagapply din sa training, kaso hindi natanggap, hindi daw niya kasi akalain na parang American Idol ang labanan. LOL. Proud and happy din mga officemates ni Sis Ja for her, yung iba nagulat nang malamang tanggap si Sis Ja at palakasan sila kay ate na kunin na rin sila pag nasa abroad na si ate or nagpaplano silang magbakasyon kung nasaan man si Sis Ja. Ang swerte ko daw kasi if ever, pwede na ko makasama.

Natamaan naman ako dun sa isa niyang friend, kung pressured na daw ba ko sa mga kapatid ko? Medyo namulat ako sa tanong na yun, ang dami nanamang mga tanong ang pumasok sa isip ko na sasabihin ko na lang sa susunod kong entry. Birthday ng isa sa mga tropa ko nung sabado pero hindi ako nakapunta, ilang buwan na ko hindi nakikipagkita sa mga kaibigan ko. Binati ko naman siya days before and told her na hindi ako makakapunta. Hanggang ngayon hindi ako nagloload simula nung sabado, ang daming nagtetext at tumatawag. Ganun ba kadaling mapansin ang katahimikan ko or coincidence lang lahat ng ito? Until the next post.

I can't help it, I want to post these sayings, let me start with the easiest to interpret, you can help me too if you like one..

“Stop trying to fit in where you were born to stand out.”

--Sylvia Marina, What a Girl Wants movie

Usual mistake which is common in teenagers where you lose your identity over trying to 'fit in' in the society.

“Laughing faces do not mean that there is absence of sorrow! But it means that they have the ability to deal with it.”

--Shakespeare

A Filipino attitude, of course, just like the other quotes I've read, this only means that no matter how many problems you're having, you can still put a smile on your face or just laugh on it. Shows being positive.

“Opportunities are like sunrises, if you wait too long you miss them.”

--William Arthur

I'm sorry Mr. William Arthur for wasting my 1 year waiting for something good in my life to happen but now I regret it.

“In the time of crisis I was not hurt by the harsh words of my enemies, but by the silence of my FRIENDS.”

--Shakespeare

Okay, another friendship quote, sometimes, your enemies don't matter anymore, you don't give a damn and how your friends will react on it is all that matters.

“He travels the fastest who travels alone.”

--Rudyard Kipling

Okay, I'm kinda moved on that line. I'm working on it f.y.i.

“If friendship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.”

-- Abraham Lincoln

For me, this is the toughest one, I really don't get it. Does it mean that you can't make friends? or your friends makes you weak because you love them? or you're good on your own, without the help of anyone? or you're a good friend, just like that. So I've searched some opinions..

  • if friendship is your weakest point, then obviously you are doing rather well for yourself and dont need the help/fruits of a society?
  • If friendship stops you from being tough in a situation where it calls for toughness then you’re the strongest person because you preserved one more person in your life.
  • I take it to mean that whoever he's talking to has an incredible ability to forge and maintain meaningful and lasting friendships, and that if that person is better at everything else in life than his ability to do that, then no one else can do anything any better than he can.
  • That sounds like something one might say to a really good friend as a compliment. Like you're such a good friend that if you think that's your weakness than you must be an all around swell person.
  • You have to be strong to do without friends. 
Give me your opinion over this one.. Thanks! ^^,

Not in outerspace. I guess I'm having insomnia attack right now. That's because I had an afternoon nap so its not an insomnia then? Anyway, I've been wandering again inside this internet, blogging world. Tumblr, yes, everytime I reblog photos, writings, my creativity just won't shut up, it keeps me awake. In the middle of reblogging, I remember how I really want to collect Sky photos, I think it's the most easiest and enjoyable stuff to collect, but I won't make it happen if I don't own a good or better camera aside from my xperia x8, and I can't borrow my sister's digicam. I guess I have to work for it, one of my wishlist is Xperia S, it has 12 megapixels camera and I really really want it, and 32GB internal memory, no card slot though but it would really be fine, and if ever I have it, photoblog it is!

Another topic is, I've read this blog and it quite disappoints me, I dunno if they're married or not but the thing is, this writer is just so selfish, I know that between a couple, there's committment, love, passion, and inside this committment especially if you're married and have kids, you have to expect that there will be ups and downs to your relationship, if one doesn't want to make love to you, its still part of the committment, and it doesn't mean that he/she doesn't want you at all and besides sex is just another form of love, you still have other ways to show it or be proven by it. Reading this entry kinda irritates me, seriously, its like he/she is being selfish, discontented earthling which is probably a perfectionist too, doesn't think of the other's situation and just thinking of getting attention from the opposite sex. For sadness and happiness, I think you should stay alone forever if all you want is happiness. I know that when it comes to relationships, any kind, if there's no problems, its fake. I experienced that in a friendship. Its still worth it to have a real kind.

Now I remember what I really hate on a person, not only to guys, but to anyone, selfishness, discontentment, the Me, Mine, My attitude, control freaks and most of all, attention seekers. It just blows me off. Personally, I brought up by my family, of course, not perfectly but at least I always care for other's feelings and gave up being selfish as I grow up in the real world and through experiences. And the last word my eldest sister told me before she got married, if I would have a boyfriend in the future, don't be a clingy type girlfriend for him. Don't think you own someone, don't control them as if you're his world because if you would have a child and that is a boy, would you love it if his girlfriend is pressuring him? I guess not. Respect people at least, if you can't love them properly, if there's a proper way of it.

I need one. I've been planning to go for a jog but never get to do so. 

So I am forcing myself to go for a jog later, afterwork. I got to do this.

The more I try to make this relationship work, the more I get disappointed. 

Living with this person is becoming painfully difficult each day.

I know that we are all created different, but maybe he and I are just too different.

When we started, it seemed too easy. But now, looking at how we are, we seem hopeless.

I just hate him most of the time. I think about leaving almost everyday.
