Sick and Tired

(N.B. This is a delayed post, and written while I was on medication, thus the mushy ending. Please bear with me)

07-26-2005

It all started last Saturday. I woke up with a splitting headache. I thought that this would just disappear during midday but come 10 PM that night, I was chilling. Body temp shot up to 40. While Eileen, Mel and Shirley were laughing their hearts out with Love Actually, Love was actually sick. And I fell asleep.

It just wasn't the case of I-miss-him syndrome or the lack of yakapsul and kisspirin (who did invent these terms?!) or else, I should be sick for the last few years. Hehehe I am digging my own grave here, right?

I could have been happier that I was sick and I can spend the whole day at home. But hey, this is not grade school anymore. Just think of the piles of files on my desk. Yeah right...just got here this morning and I realized, wala palang piles of files. Just ONE. But wait til the end of the day...papers and emails come and go

Elaine even mentioned that with my on/off fever, it could be dengue. Scary thought. Good thing I am doing better. With text messages from the office (I bet, namiss nila ako) and all the way from Butuan and Alabang. I am loved. Dami rin palang nagke-care. Char! I even wished that he'd text me. Ha, wishful thinking. Daring in my Friendster pics huh? He told me that. What's so daring about my b&w pic in a swimsuit na wala ngang pinakita. He seems conservative, di bagay. Aha, he visits my page, and that message stayed with me for ages. Actually, gumaling nga agad ako eh...

July 20 opening, that's today. Please watch it! Para di naman mag-flop! I will definitely watch it for Ewan! THE ISLAND. Corny nga title eh, pero pwede na rin :-) - SF

Jabez's Prayer

8:38 AM

Trying to write an appeal email to my boss. Hint: concerning finances. It’s really hard convincing him, especially now that we’re in a financial crisis.
I can justify all right, what I cannot justify is the deficit we have made for the past years. But hey, I’ve been here for only 2 years no! It’s not my fault that they’ve been in the red (accounting-wise actually, kahit me pera pa naman sa bank) for the past years. And during my stint here, the deficit has gone down. One of my accomplishments. Ha!
I am also to write another letter too, though I can’t tell you what it is right now. It concerns matters of the heart. And this is one tough letter. Di ko nga matapus-tapos eh. My deadline is by the end of this week. So I hope I can have the inspiration (and the guts, I must add) to finish this.
***
Came across this book “Prayer of Jabez” in one of the reading materials as donations to our beneficiaries.
Oh, that you would bless me indeed,
And enlarge my territory,
That Your hand would be with me,
And that You would keep me from evil.
(1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
I have been “testing” this principle, and boy, it did work. There have been critics who say that this is a selfish prayer, but to each his own really. I think this prayer is a breakthrough to the blessed life (as what the book says). I’ve never felt blessed like this before.
I’d like to share it with you, and hope you’d try it too!
***
Today is the first day of my Ewan’s movie “The Island”. Mapapanuod ko kaya this week? Hopefully, yes. And hopefully, it won’t be a flop too! It’s Michael Bay naman eh (of the Armageddon fame) kaya it’s action-packed, but maybe mushy on the side. Critics are talking about Ewan and Scarlet Johansson’s love scene. Hmmm…Si Ewan pa! he has exposed everything in his movies na nga. Remember “Trainspotting”? Though I still have to look for his “Pillowbook” and “Velvet Goldmine” videos.
Ha, tough luck!
***
Time check NOW: 4:43 PM (almost time to go home)
Song in my head: “Darkness Fell”
Looking forward to: Dinner at A Veneto tonight and our get-together with Eileen this Friday

Rated PG

It was a spur of the moment decision. No month long planning, big bucks savings or resort reservation maneuvering. It was more of a "magpaitim tayo dun sa malayo!" kind of thing.

I never stepped on Batangas pier. Shirly had been there a long long time ago. And we only see Mindoro on a map. And yet, there we were - two brave souls going to Puerto Galera armed with moolah, swimsuits, cover ups, mineral water and lots of guts.

For an off peak season, there were lots of tourists - Koreans pala. We were with them on our way to White Beach aboard MB Brian. The ferry ride was uneventful except for occassional splashes of waves that didn't even manage to reach us.

Compared to Bora, the basnig was long (the bigger banca version, fyi) and the ride was more than hour. Madugta, I even slept na walang poise. You can't chatter naman or else I might give a saliva shower to my seatmates. After so-so minutes...I could see the island. And the beach. And the establishments (which are really really near the beach!).

As the ferry approached the shore, Shirl and I were already looking for the best place to sunbathe and swim. Ooop! there it is. It looks like station 1 of Bora...less people, less banca parked on the waters and more space for our sexy bodies (nyahaha).

Our daily breakfast : banana pancakes, canned fruits and green tea

End of White Beach

Our accommodation was fine - nothing fancy. Since it was offpeak, we had the "inn" all by ourselves. Oops, we did share it with another group pala. So, during those very hot afternoons, we locked ourselves in the room and watched TV - Discovery Travel and Living and Living Asia. O diba, we really nagfee-feeling that we were on vacation. In between those tv viewings were sips of choco peanut shakes and gulps of san mig light and gobbles of choc nut. This is the life!

Early mornings were spent strolling the beach and taking a dip into the salabay-infested waters of the Puerto Galera. Oops, did I say salabay (jelly fish, ba!)? I tell you, the sting was pretty tolerable. Ask Shirly! Sunbathing were also done in the mornings kasama mga fairskinned Caucasian women. Next time, we should wear skimpier 2 pieces.

Soak up the sun!

We never did the boat ride and snorkelling thingies. We do want to try the banana boat pero wala naman kaming kasama. We just enjoyed ourselves soaking up the sun (pasok- Sheryl Crow!) and swimmings and picture taking (oops, did I just say photo-ops?).

Night life in PG was pretty quiet. Palibhasa umuulan but the rain didn't stopped Shirl and I trying out the famous Mindoro Sling at Miko's Bar. The bartender (or should I say, bartender-ess) was funny. S/he danced around and made jokes with all the customers. Btw, you'll recognize him/her easily since she always wear red leggings daw! Well, Mindoro Sling did sting me. Na-wating ako, sabay pa ng gulps of Miller. So much for high alcohol tolerance. Bilib talaga ako sa best friend ko, last woman standing pagdating sa inuman.

No to ladies's drink!

San Mig and Mindoro Sling : Perfect companions at Miko's

On our last day, we strolled around the different side of PG...pagtawid ng malalaking bato was the Tamaraw Beach. Nich beach with cute cottages. Good for honeymooners and barkadas since you get to have the beach all by yourselves. Plan nga namin ni Shirl, the next visit namin with your S.O.s - doon na kami para walang istorbong na vivideoke in the the nearby tindahan.

Who says that one can't make a great 3d/2n vacation with only a day of planning and 4000 bucks? It was all girl bonding (no papa-watching nga lang). Our next stop : Panglao! or Disneyland! or Palawan!

I am FINE

It’s one of those manic Monday-feelings that I have. What a way to start the week. I feel FINE (i.e. Freaked-out, Insecure - not really, Neurotic - a little, and Emotional – thanks to Italian Job, the movie). As for the reason why, I actually don’t know too! Maybe the Puerto Galera vacation bug is still biting me. Oh yes, I did get physical bites, from a jellyface. Yikes! The bruises still hurt, sometimes. Just like a wounded heart. Corny!

Or let me clue you on this: Maybe it’s the time of the month, which will hopefully come next week. It’s not as if me ginawa akong milagro, that I’m anticipating for my period, but I’m irregular so this happening is THE happening for me. Blame it on the imbalance of hormones. Menopause perhaps? Not! I still have to bear my children. Arrgh, I can’t believe I just spilled my secret! Talk about imbalance!

Just pure simple laziness, I guess. We just stayed in the house the whole weekend. Just went out to do the groceries on Saturday, then a quick dinner at our fave Mister Kabab last night. Sounds very sedentary, I tell you. I’m not used to it, kaya siguro ako groggy. And lazy, lazy...

And I have news for you: We still have not watched “Batman Begins” (kami na lang ata ang di nakakapanuod nito); “WOW” (the Tom-Kat publicity turned us off), “Fantastic 4” (not that fantastic at all, critics say)…Hopefully, I will have the time to watch “The Island”. I will definitely pool my resources for that, by hook or by crook. Still have to Ewan do some action stunts.

For the meantime, I have to get back to work, and earn a living - still have reports to do, donors to call, and beneficiaries to take care of.

Have a nice week, everyone!

Go UP Fight!

Still can't believe the news. UP leading in the UAAP Basketball stats? 3-0 win-loss card?! Am I dreaming? Absolutely not!

While on my way to Makati this morning, I heard the wonderful news. The UP Maroons won over the NU Bulldogs yesterday. Chicken lang. But hey, take note: UP won over the perennial winners La Salle and UST. Galing no?! And they’re leading the pack. They made it to the Final 4 last year, and hopefully, they can make it to the championships this year. Now, that would a dream come true!

It’s about time really. I remember my cheering days, almost 10 years ago. UP was a contender (almost) for the championships then, but that dream wasn’t realized. Ateneo and La Salle were still the forces to reckon with. Those were fun days, I tell you. We would still troop to the Rizal Stadium or go to Ateneo Gym or Araneta Coliseum, brave the rains and the long queues, and sometimes talk dirty (i.e. Crayola!!!, Di Lumusot Sa UPCAT, etc) and eat cheap (we were on budget) just to watch the games.

After college, well, the fever continued. Almost every year, Love and I attended the opening ceremonies. The college days were back, and it felt great na mapagkamalan na college studes pa rin. Our egos! This year, we just watched it on TV while lounging in our room at Puerto Galera. We were not even aware that July 9 was the opening ceremony. Tsk, tsk!

Thanks to our connections at Araneta (i.e. EBB) – Salamat Ellaine dear – we usually have prime seats to watch the UP games and cheer our hearts out. In UP's next game at Araneta, expect us to be there. Sana di kami ang malas.

I guess this is the best part of the games - Singing “UP Naming Mahal” after each victory. And oh boy, it’s been ages since I last sang that song!

Go UP fight, fight! Let’s end this 20-year (or more) drought!

Bliss, Swiss, Miss

It’s been almost a month since I last logged in here. Seems like I’m not still used to the colorful-candy and very-sunny template that we have here. Not so me, I guess.
Wow, how time flies swiftly, especially if you have your hands full with almost everything – work, work, work! Hehehe…as if! Well, there have occasional gimmicks on the side, food trips (as usual), shopping and of course, our last-minute plunge to Puerto Galera (and yes, that’s where we were last weekend), to those who still don’t have a clue.
In between the Gloria-gate, Ayala rallies, non-stop chats, and what-have-you’s, I’ve been fine, thank you. I’ve survived the hectic and mad mad schedule in preparation for the 4th of July celebration. And it did pay off. My bosses were happy, our guests were ecstatic (esp. over the spectacular fireworks display), suppliers and participants were satisfied, and our beneficiaries will surely benefit from this. It’s a win-win situation.
OK now, no more career talk.
***
Bliss
Ah, what a bliss. After that maddening late-night work, I just resolved that I have to have that vacation. And vacation, that’s what I got – a 4-day vacation, to be exact.
It was my down-time last Friday, including a date with my bading friends for a foot spa and a haircut. O di ba feeling prinsesa? Slept the whole afternoon, and gorged on unfinished pocket books.
Such bliss…
***
Another bliss: Swiss bliss…
Something Swiss for you. Swiss watches, chocolates and men! Hehehe…Not for me though. Though I opt for the first 2. This news pertains to my dear long-time friend Avril. News is: she’s tying the knot in that far far away land. Theirs started as a long-distance romance, and well, they just can’t stand from being apart from each other. Serves as my inspiration. Huh, wishful thinking me!
Met her fiancé yesterday at YM, and he seems a nice guy. And I can sense that he surely takes good care of his Princess.
Well, it’s simply Swiss Bliss. Advanced best wishes, Avril and Patrick! Hope to see you guys soon (though not in Switzerland).
***
Miss
Miss? What do I miss now? Randomly, I miss watching sappy movies, I miss him, I miss genmaicha (seems like ages since we last drank this tea), I miss home, I miss biko, kinilaw, Mama Nita’s lutong bahay, I miss his messages, I miss my bros, I miss our chats, I miss listening to the radio, etc, etc…
I miss him…
Need I say more?

Feelings

Some survey. Walang magawa so I'll focus on my feelings...

1. The emotion I tend to hide the most: Hurt. Is it an emotion? People tend to see me as "bato" since I don't get hurt easily...or I am just too forgiving? Or just plain manhid. To know if there is hurt...look into my eyes, baby.

2. When I'm happy, I need: to hug someone. And to talk nonstop.

3. When I'm sad, I need: a quiet place to sleep, a hanky to wipe off those tears. Pleasantville/Zoolander or any Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson flick on video.

4. When I'm sentimental, I need: a good song to emote to. And a pen and paper where I can write my thoughts.

5. When I'm in love: Everything seems to be bright and colorful. I tend to smile a whole lot more. And I paint/draw a portrait/caricature of the person I love. "When the moon hits your eyes like a big piece of pie, that's amore. When you dance down the street like clouds on your feet, you're in love..."

6. I would jump up & down and shout w/ joy right now if someone told me: I have a million bucks to splurge on trips, shoes, clothes and spoil my family and friends.

7. The last time I cried was: a few minutes ago while watching Uptown Girl. Hey, this is not even a senti film!

8. Moment in my life when my emotions froze and I felt absolutely nothing: "when IT was over." As Matthew Brodericks claimed in Addicted to Love," IT IS HOLLOW."

9. People who genuinely make me happy: family and close friends.

10. Something that makes me happy: An unexpected email/sms message/call

11. Someone or something that made me laugh this week: the girl in puerto galera when she slipped while showing off to her caucasian dyowa.

12. Your Good Luck Charm: a bracelet with dolphins on it/a tiny rabbit figurine

13. Person You Hate Most: nada

14. On your desk: [office desk] mug, stapler, paper weight, postcard of nike, picture of stitch tucked on my cubicle, a copy of the Doha Declaration [bedroom side table] eyeglasses, mobile fone, pantali ng buhok

15. What do you notice first with the opposite sex: height, hands/arms, lips, eyebrows

16. Last person you slow danced with: our choreographer slash DI who taught me i-dunno-what-kind-of-dance.

17. Makes you laugh the most: jokes, Ben Stiller's hirits, Vince Vaughn's poker face

18. Makes you smile: kilig memories, unexpected messages, compliments, a sight of my crush (if meron)

19. Can make you feel better: keema and pita bread, genmanchai and scone at CBTL, a hug

20. Gives you a funny feeling when you see them: cute toddlers. i'll have one of my own someday.

Magazines, Tabloids, atbp.

I was having my monthly dose of Cosmo info last night. It was JLo on the cover and it was the make over issue. They have this feature about this lady who not only had her hair and face "make-overed" but as well as her career- the whole shebang. Kainggit. Sometimes, I wish I would just take an LOA and look for another job. Work as what? Hmm...barista, work for the Lonely Planet, something to do with arts and crafts and photography (kahit I wala pa akong "eye" for photography), magwork sa museum (kahit taga-punas ng sculptures at paintings - sa MoMA nga lng!). Too many plans, puro drawing pa rin.

*****

I used to read Cosmo from cover to cover. Like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, it was sorta my "Bible". From the kikay tips to how to please your man to room make-overs to where to eat guide. Well, I still read most parts of the mag but I skip those pages on Love and Relationship. The how-to's and tips are not applicable anymore. Dami ko ng nababasa, di naman na-aapply. Someday, I'll revisit those pages again.

*****

Way back in college, when Cosmo was not yet born...I used to read another magazine. A local one without the glossy pages. Instead of beauty tips, I read stats. Instead of really really nice clothes and shoes and bags, I feasted my eyes on sweaty jerseys and their owners. Yes, sports mag! I can't recall the name of the magazine but I remember that everytime I passed by the entrance of SC, I always peek at the week's feature. Kung worth buying nga. In short, if Shell team is featured. To be particular, kung me picture si Richie doon. Grabe, those were the basketball days.

*****

San Miguel Beer won over Talk and Text. And after a longtime, I saw Richie's face on the sports section of a...tabloid! Sideview nga lng but he sure looks yummy. Di pa rin nagbabago after 10 years. Oh my, those were the basketball years.

*****

Noong high school, Bandera made waves. Actually, we were not really aware of it since we were sheltered in our lil world (or school) in a compound called Arturo Eustaquio. Then, someone brought along a school paper of rival Ateneo who berated Bandera and Xerex. It got the upper years interested, ayun me nagdala nga ng Bandera sa school. Challenging raw kasi ang crossword puzzle doon.

*****

Laltey, Shirly and I are into Good Housekeeping. I think we are getting ready to take the plunge. Or Shirly lng yun? Wala naman kasi akong prospect. :D Actually, the magazine is very cool. From money matters to health tips to articles about career and home makeovers. Me pahabol pang how to take care of your baby, easy to prepare baons at pano alagaan si mister. Now, we do sound like pinaghahandaan na talaga ang domestic life.At least, we're prepared when our domesticity instincts beckon.

*****

Funny that my preferences evolved since eons ago. Parang pocketbooks rin (sweet dreams to mills and boon to chicklit ...and sweet dreams again?) - nagsimula sa pa sporty effect to pagirl to feeling wifey and mommy. Syempre, di nawawala ung inbetweens - Kislap at Flash (wala pang The Buzz at S Files noon) to Entertainment at Premiere (a touch of Hollywood) to Living (ni Martha Stewart) to Seventeen (US version) to old issues of the National Geographic (great photos!). Ayan tuloy, tambak ang magazines sa bahay.

Where Were We?

And Batman Begins

And you thought that I have seen Batman Begins. No, I didn't. Shirly didn't too. For no apparent reason, we were not that ecstatic to watch it especially when we learned that Katie of TomKat fame is the lady love. Of course, we were dying to see Christian Bale's version of the Bat Crusader. After ooh-ing and aah-ing us in the American Psycho with his no-nonsense style of acting, he is definitely the actor to watch out for. Oh, yes, I say some parts of Empire of the Sun but he was so young then (and so was I). Well, there is still Equilibrium and Velvel Goldmine (tama ba un, Shirl?).

I've read over and over again that this is the best Batman movie. Probably. Would Christian Bale look good as Batman or Bruce Wayne? Probably this weekend, Shirl and I will have the time to finally watch it. But definitely not!

Wow, it's been 3 weeks since its 1st day of showing, and well, still no Batman Begins for us. Well, we still have to catch WOW too, and Fantastic 4, and Pinoy Blonde. Wow, that's a lot of catching up to do!

:;) lobster

Donut Buys

For the past couple of nights, Shirl and I were into doughnuts. That bread with a hole. From the famous donuts along the sidewalks to the oldtime favorite Dunkin' to new kid on the block Hot Loops. Funny, I am not really a donut afficionado although I did pass through the stage of donut-crazy way back in college. With the emergence of so many donut stores, it is amazing how I used to gobble up two donuts in one sitting (or walking from Econ to Ilang - si Eileen ang tanging saksi) to savor every bite and fillings of pastillas de leche or choco caramel. Here is a rundown of my favorite donut flavors. So that the next time you want to floor me, di ka na mahihirapan. Char!


Boston Creme from Dunkin' Donuts - looks like phlegm (sabi nila) but it is sure is delicious. Just the right combination of chocolate topping and bavarian cream filling. Ito ang no. 1 ko sa DD.

Mocha Filled (Mister Donut) - I still remember, I had my first taste of Mister Donut was in Masagana in UN Ave. way back Jambangan days. Sarap nung parang cake nila (i.e. Kreamy Krown) pero alang tatalo sa mocha filled. Looks like chocolate but the taste cries out "sarap!" Unlie DD where you can determine nasaanang filling...MD is different. The filling's location can take you by surprise. Minsan, nasa edge na ng doughnut.

Bavarian (DD) - obviously, since I love Boston Creme, I do dig this type too. It must be the phlegm thing. (or something else...oops!)

French Cruller (Country Style) - not really a donut pero it has the same texture as honey dipped ng DD. Much softer at tastier nga lng.

Pastillas de Leche (Go Nuts Donuts) - I admit, isa ako sa mga pumila ng mahaba dito way back it opened its 2nd store in Greenbelt. The dough's soft. The filling is heavenly. Perfect combination. Just don't eat 2 in one sitting...nakakangilo ng ngipin. Best seller talaga.

Peanut Butter Drizzle (GND) - Ang donut na walang butas. Syempre, I am a sucker for peanut butter (fave ko choco banana peanut shake ng Jonah's! But that is another story). Parang tinapay na me caramel at nagspread ng peanut butter sa ibabaw. Ano kayang peanut butter ginamit nila?

Mocha Caramel (Hot Loops) - new discovery, thanks to Shirly. Caramel filling is like pastillas. The dough's texture is between DD's and GND's. Think caramel sundae ng McDo na naging tinapay instead of vanilla ice cream.

There is still another one I haven't tasted yet. Cello at Katipunan. I heard they have dips for their donuts. Ano kaya lasa?

Lazy Sunday

It was the day after the 4th of July picnic. Jen slept at our place and Shirl was so exhausted (being the Big Boss that she was for that event). We woke up very late. It was a lazy morning to begin with. We didn't cook breakfast...just brewed some coffee and ate not-so hot pandesal.


The afternoon was spent watching a movie on video. It was Dodgeball. I have seen this movie twice in a span of 3 days. Cool! I can recall almost every single line. "Nobody bleeds my own blood." "...you are a skidmark to the underpants of society." "We'll turn you from frankenstein to franken-fine." Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller were so hilarious. Kulang na lang si Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell. I dunno pero I have a high everytime I see these people in a movie. Except for Vince Vaughn in The Psycho. It was creepy that I spent half of the movie covering my eyes.


Lazy ba kamo? I had my siesta at 4 PM! But yes, I am a sucker for siestas that my naps range from an hour to 3 hours. Kaloka. Well, better asleep than staying awake na lumalamon. I got that from an Inquirer article. Oh, we ate turon and nilagang mais for snacks. So there goes my philosophy.


Last night, it was plantsa to death under the hot moon. It used to be cold during night time but last night...aargh, para akong naligo sa sobrang pawis. Good thing we'll be in our uniforms today so it was less of a hassle (since I won't be thinking what I'm gonna wear for the next 5 days).


What an exciting day, no?
