virgo quirks and moving in

my plan didnt pan out. the apt bldg that i was supposed to move into, got a little off schedule, instead of may, the date was moved to late june to early july, because of the weather. as you all know, in manila, it rains come 1pm or 2pm till night. so construction got delayed, and delayed and delayed and delayed.... so, i decided to postponed the move and not even look for a new apt. im busy with work and im sick as of friday. down with a flu and tonsilitis.

though, im feeling much better now, im still unable to taste or smell anything. this flu is taking the fun out of eating. i miss tasting food and smelling it. i ate my fave noodle earlier, and i cant even taste it!!!! waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

okey. back to reality. i had a marathon talk session again with ate janina. she was asking about the quirks and some gibberish about the mighty Virgos.

a virgo's quirks. i dont know about the others, but these are my quirks, as a virgo.

1. OC. as in Obsessive-compulsive. you get how we roll, like me, when i see something, like a shirt, i'll buy, every color i could possibly find on that shirt.

2. neat freaks. i like everything neat. clean. spotless. no questions asked.

3. organize. we like order. atleast i do. i even color coordinate my closet. my bed sheet to my pillowcase, comforter and blanket. not to mention ng robe and bath towel.

4. last laugh. i always have to have the last laugh or word.

5. practical. im practical. i dont buy things or get/do things without a higher purpose. everything has to have a reason.

whats your zodiac quirks?

wedding dress


no, not for me. not now atleast. was watching some show on discovery travel and living earlier with the mom, it was a wedding show of some sort. a mom was passing down her wedding gown to her daughter, and they gave it to a seamstress/designer to "re-work" it, in the words of christian siriano, make it fierce and fabulous! whatever.

so nweiz, i asked my mom about her wedding dress, and she said she had none. she just wore a simple white dress, when they got married. well, i know that mom and dad got married in city hall and they got married again in church, what i didnt know is that she didnt wear a gown! i always thought that she dressed up for the occassion.

she said that they did get married in church but it was just the two of them. and the priest and his assistants. no one else present. so she just wore a dress and my dad wore that bell bottom jeans i simply wanted to shred to pieces and a white polo.

wow. i was sad and disheartened yet deeply touched by the story.

it was supposed to be the most special day in a woman's life to have wedding and to wear a wedding gown, and my mom didn't get a chance to have that. yet, it was so intimate and personal and heartfelt. to have someone you truly love to be there. just the two of you there. present. all in the eyes of God. to present just the both of you together. no other people. more personal.

my mom said, she wouldnt change any of it. she doesn't want a grand or lavish wedding, just the two of them together is enough to make her happy. and its okey for her not to wear a wedding dress, just as long as she has a wedding ring. a band the symbolizes their love. a wedding dress doesnt say a thing to her.

wow. another wow. and another wow. i never looked at wedding that way. when i get married i'll probably do the same thing, except, i'll wear a wedding dress, and ivited prolly like 15-25 people. just the people that really matter to the both of us.

grand and lavish weddings are just ways of socializing, or in a lot of cases, a way to showcase the riches and money shits that people have. the thought of celebrating your most intimate moment in your life, with people you dont know, smiling and taking pictures with people you just met. i hate that. it'll give me a pained expression of happiness and disbelief. with the thought of "i dont know this people, why are they here? can they even remember my name without reading it from the invite?"

haha.

dirty little secret

they know. they know.

my dirty little secret.

for all of you who heard me talk on the phone, you all know i sound very different. very different indeed. i sound like a sickly sweet sugar on acid, and you need to take a couple of insulin shots to calm your nerves after hearing me.

well, they know. and they were shocked! SHOCKED!!!

the guys weren't expecting the girly child-like voice would ever come out on a big tough chick like me. and because of that, i've been the butt of all jokes.

KADIRI.

but i can't help it. i really do sound like that.

is it just me? its just me.

im still having jitters from the past weeks happening. as you guys remember i told you about my new wave that im the only girl, (well now, we're 2. thank God) we had an extemporaneous speech for our esl class, and the topic i got was the shitiest ever. "do you believe in love at first sight? why or why not?" i said AMP*** out loud. and you know, when i say curses out loud, its really loud! good thing sam milby look-alike jason was the only trainer in the room. whew. we're kindda buddies eh. we're actually more at ease with jason around. some are a little uptight. anyways.

it's supposed to be a SPEECH. a SPEECH. not a question and answer portion. i got grilled on the spot and up to now, im still getting grilled. because i only manage to answer, "no, i dont fall for a piece of eye candy." after that i got bombarded with questions after questions. taena! nasabi ko tuloy, "baket ba? wag nio na lang alamin, dahil hindi ko rin alam! basta mangyayari un pag nangyari yun!" after that i got to thinking... what do i really look for in a guy?

whenever i think about what happened to me in the past, the only thing that came to mind was, whenever i develop a crush on someone, we always have a good conversation for weeks/months. and all of the crushes that i had became/already my good friends.

so i think. conversation is the key to my heart.

we should be able to converse about anything and everything under the sun. i'd appreciate it more if you could tell me a thing or two about a topic/subject i dont know. introduce me to a world i haven't been before. and you should never EVER pretend you know everything about a certain topic because i can tell. and lastly it doesnt matter if you're cute, or handsome or dashing, whether you're buff or not. physical beauty fades. and i dont need anything that's temporary.


its just a plus if you're an eye candy.

and not to forget. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS IN THE WORLD!!!!

specially the BEST MOM in the WORLD!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!

10 irkable people on public transport

because of my weird hobby of people watching, i came up with 10 categories of 'irkable' people, those you cannot and i mean CANNOT by all means stand!

i know i cant, but hey, maybe you can. i hope you can recognize some of these people... enjoy

1. Guys with bitin shirts. not just bitin shirts but also those wearing skintight/pitis shirts and pants. they're not really that irkable, but they pinch a little nerve here and there. i just cant stand seeing some guys, waering one size smaller clothes, i would understand if its a girl, but on a guy its just plain nasty. it doesnt look good on them and im the one feeling the discomfort that comes with wearing those shirts/pants.

2. chismosas. man! these people i really cant stand. specially if you're really tired and going cross country on a bus and the people behind you cant stop yakking and yakking about people they hate and people they envy not to mention the megavolume of their screechy voices. do something more productive and conducive to society, instead of bashing other people behind their back.

3. crying babies. not that i hate babies and all, but sometimes you just really want to put a lid on the kid's mouth to stop him from crying. its like ringing hard on my ears whenever i hear a wailing baby, its irritating. with their never seeming to care parents that lets their babies cry all they want.

4. over pda couples. i mean cmon! i know you love each other very much, but you dont need to show the whole world how much you love each other by smothering each other with kisses and giggling and touching, making other people squirm. besides, its bad for a girls rep, people will think you're 'easy'.

5. senoir complainer. isnt it that the more a person gets older, the more mature he gets? i think here its the other way around. whenever i see a senior cit in public transport, they cant stop complaining whether its the way the driver maneuvers the bus/jeep or the aircon's thermostat. the oldies should be mature and not use their being old to get their way.

6. gumchewerstickwherever. these people are shits. they stick their gum wherever and the next thing you know, you got it on your shoe, pants, bag, hair, shirt etc. if i ever catch one on public transport, i'll personally cut out his tongue and stick on his chair with his gum.

7. cologne bather. specially if im on an airconditioned bus. damn! these people are so lazy taking a REAL bath, they resort to overpowering cologne shit. its suffocating and nauseaus.

8. feeling-friends. they're not that bad as the rest, but sometimes we need a little elbow room to breath in a not well ventelated area. its bad enough to have someone talk to you about people you dont know and couldn't careless but asked you to do the same thing? um, i dont think so.

9. IgotanIPODyoudont. i hope these people tear their eardrums already. we know you have an ipod you dont have to flaunt it, by blasting its volume louder than the bus's radio.

10. mega-low rise jeans. the sight of other people's butt-crack is enough to make me hurl. have some decency. have some self respect.

7-11 diet

im on a 7-11 diet. not by choice but by fate. because i live near a 7-11 store with no serious carinderia or fast food resto in sight or for the radius of 5 kms, i am left with 7-11 as my basic food provider.

i have virtually tasted every food offered/sold by 7-11. everything. im gonna die of preservatives, infrared heat by microwaves and synthetic meat and veggies. i feel my stomach muscles are churning out acids and burning my insides. slowly but surely.

i need to eat real food. give me real food. REAL FOOD.

please....

a HANA KIMI experience

aha! i dont know why these things always happen to me. in both of my work, i'm always surrounded by guys, from my previous comp, my barkada are guys, because the half of my barkada which consist of girls were transferred to the other wave, i was left with the guys. and now, my new job, and new wave, no joke. only girl. 24 people, 23 boys, 1 girl. huwaw!

the first day, i stuck out like a sore thumb, because i was only one with long hair, not to mention breast.

'twas ok for me, im used to being around guys all the time, my kada's in elem and high school are all barako. my cousins are mostly male. because i only have 3 female cousins. im close to my dad and lolo.

its actually fun, i think i gained 23 instant KUYA's in one day! ahahaha!!!

some think im lucky because im surrounded by guys, yeah i am, they're my brothers. i do not look at them as potential love interest, i look at them as family. they're easy to talk to, not bashing any one, and i finally have some people to talk to about on line gaming, rock music, absurd movies, old school cartoons!!! everything!!

hahaha!!!

asteg! btw, my girl na ulit, 2 na kaming babae sa wave.
