week

It was some week.
Like I was drugged or something close to that.
It was seven and a half days of nothing but tasting what it was like to be in the realm of
what they say was heaven, hell and whatever it was in the middle.
It was those nights that turned into early morning bliss, most of them I was intoxicated.
although until now I can still feel and hear my heart, like a strong beating of jumbo china drums.
There were nights when I couldn't sleep until breaking dawn and by the time I woke up,
I would turn on my TV, half asleep waiting for a song to play. That specific song that had a
cup of coffee, it's that song that reminded me of ...

It was some week.
I always thought that you were good looking.
I specifically liked the smile, the best was the one you flashed when I first noticed your existence.
Then it was in that cool thursday afternoon, among a swarm of estranged and strangers
when I first noticed how really a looker you are.
It was also on the same day when I realized Alanis Morisette's lyric " I met the man of my dreams
and meeting his beautiful wife. Well isn't it Ironic?" can be real and mortalize.

It was some week.
So, there maybe things that you would feel, sense and figure out that you might not really fully understand, unless
I say it directly.
I was never good in hiding my feelings from anybody but I was better with hiding the truth behind those feelings from
everyone.

It was some week.
I was struggling. Once again, I placed my heart in my sleeves, which I shouldn't have done in the first place.
It was unconscious. I was drugged or so I thought I was or wished I was; by that laugh, by that look, by that feeling of temporary madness.
Which I'm pretty sure for you was nothing but just temporary and nothing close to that kind of madness I am talking about.

But it was some week.
It was that week when I felt like I was never gonna be the same person that I was that monday; it was tuesday by the way
when I finally got the chance to mingle with that person who I, at one point, embarrassed myself by anonymously sms-ing out of the blue.

It was some week
When you called me names, although some hurt, I knew or maybe I hoped that you never really meant them.
I could never call you names and even if you say I did, it wasn't real nor did you deserve it.
It was on that same week when I was working on something that was extremely important to me.
There were no emails, no friend requests... then I sadly came upon the realization what was important to me was nothing
close to importance for you.

It was a good seven and a half
I was most of the time intoxicated and often times short of breath.
it was some week, indeed a good week.

Kimmydora, Thank yous and Silent Sanctuary

Thank you.
For those who greeted me on facebook, multiply, friendster and through SMS. I had the simplest birthday this year - no parties, nothing extravagant but it felt soo much meaningful than last year. I did charity this year and prepared dinner with for my family. A few of my friends surprised me for my birthday and gave me a very lovely chocolate cake (that I appreciate soo much). I also had a on the spot spur of the moment bonding with my highschool barkada and a send off party at the same time for Pia. I met with my family for dinner at Parkmall and Tita Vicky gave me a box of KrispyKremes (oh how I just love their cookies and cream variant), my brother and my dad ate most of the donuts, I wasn't in my sweet-tooth mood that time. While waiting for dinner, I spent the afternoon with Swanie. We had Calda and did some karaoke. We sang Bohemian Rhapsody to our heart's content and tantan was in her Mariah Carey self. I just love spending time with Swanie!

I was looking forward to watch kimmydora with Dianne but she had to cancel on the last minute to attend to some errands and with her studies. I'm drinking with Faith in awhile.

I don't really know what to blog, it was a long weekend and my head ached cause I was just lying in bed the whole two days watching repeats of The Apprentice Season 1 and the usual staples on TV. Last friday, I went home though at 6am, Pia was drunk, thats a first! =)

I am loving the new Silent Sanctuary Video - I am in love with the story rather than the music but what the heck, makes me wanna vote for it to stay on MYX for the next few weeks, last I checked its at number 6... I came to like Hale's Bahay Kubo too.

The birthday eve

Hours from now I'll be turning twenty and three - I'm hoping this year would be better than the last few "stressful" yet life enriching years. I'm doing charity this year instead of the usual going out and drinking spree with friends. I'm doing charity and family.

Tonight, I'm meeting with Faith and Steph... To salubong my day and for Steph's sound off - will this be her last send off? It's bittersweet, I know she doesn't want to leave but we have to do what we have to do.

It's midterms tomorrow, I'm not even sure if I'll attend to my stat class, I haven't been going to class for almost a month now... I'm leaning towards dropping from the subject. Urgh. Promise, my last. Well... that is if my English hasn't dropped my yet. Oppss.

So I'm curious, what gonna be my college barkada's plan for my birthday surprise? We started doing it this year and this is gonna stay as a tradition (I hope so). I'm not a fan of surprises but the thought of them planning is something for me is so heartwarming. I can't wait to see em again, it's always fun whenever they are around. I miss riva more, we have been texting these past few days and review has been tough for her, I hope she pulls through.

I miss swanie. I miss my highschool barkada - the heartbreakers. I hope to see them before Pia leaves for Bataan again.

To those who have been texting me last week, guys sorry if I didn't reply to your text messages, my phones got busted and I couldn't read the text messages sent to me last week. I'm okey now, thanks to swanie for lending me her extra phone. See, this is the reason why I'm not buying or do I own, expensive phones, they break easily and having them fixed can be pricey! The phone expensive phone that I want is a sidekick, too bad they don't offer sidekick here.

I'm on my way to Alejandro's tonight, I'm dropping off the books that I promised to donate for their anniversary charity work this year, before I head over at Faith's place. I'm doing it on the 11th hour, it's so typical me. haha

Have to leave. Toodles!

A little update

OUTDATED.
So I am obliged to update this little blog of mine. I'm listening to daydream cycle, this local group doing triphop, the last time I checked they were all men in the band, now they have a girl on vox. Vox, by the way, is vocals shortened, I got this from browsing the site of my as-of-the-moment man candy. I wish I could show you his picture but I can't cause I certainly don't want to cause more brouhahas but seriously he is HOTT there are only three things that bothers me about him... he is shorter than me, he is quite of a suplado and that he is into the reggae/rasta thing.

Drown me with goddam painkillers!!! I'm nursing a very bad toothache and I hope this goes away with resulting me to visit my dentist. But I do need some cleaning...

I'm cleaning my room right before I hit the sack, I realized that I need to change some sheets and sweep my floor cause I'm starting to see ants crawling around my bed. Urgh..

One more week to go and It's gonna be my twenty third birthday. I don't have plans, maybe I'm treating my friends out to dinner but I seriously want a vacation somewhere far without having to go back to the city. I missed school yesterday and today, I don't feel like going to school. Good luck for my midterms.

Which reminds me, I have to ask my tita moolah to buy me new rubber shoes. I can't wait, it's volleyball season once again!

My friend Dianne is back at the gym and she's forcing me to join her and even volunteered to pay for the first month but I feel like I'm not ready yet nor disciplined enough to go back to the gym. We placed a wager on who gets to loose more in a month, if I win, she lessens her smoking if she wins, I'd have to continue going to the gym. I haven't decided yet if I'd go through the bet.

I'm currently loving Lady Gaga's songs, Beautiful Dirty Rich, The Fame and Paparazzi. I feel that the song Paparazzi resembles how I pursue the guys that I like. "Promise I'll be kind, but I won't stop until the boy is mine." "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until your mine, Papa Paparazzi" I'm sure my friends would agree! hehe

If I had an alter ego, I would be Lady Gaga.


I had fun over the weekend Acquainted with new friends, the Amparito Schoolars of USJR and working with the school's arts and cultural director, Mrs. Mila Espina. I've seen Mrs. Espina on the newspaper but I didn't realize how creative, inspiring and influential she is in the local media scene. We had to do a last minute change of performance for the CAMMA awards last Sunday since there was slight mis-communication between the choreographer and the school administration. It was one of the craziest 3 days of my life in Benedicto but it was a lot of fun, the learning and the experience that I got from activity was enriching. I wish I had the chance to remember their names, they were all calling me Ms. Irene, as if I was a teacher and they asked me to transfer to USJR but I guess I'll have to stay at Benedicto till I figure out the importance of getting my butt in every class. The CAMMA student-director was a cutie but I forgot his name. Lmao.

Over the weekend, we celebrated Sai's surprise birthday party at MB's Tavern. The dinner was so-so, I had a lot of fun when we stayed at Em's place before going home. I'm the next birthday celebrant in line, wonder what kind of surprise will they prepare for me? haha.

There's really nothing much that I want to ask for my birthday, only a DVD copy of old Vilma Santos' movies, especially the movies Alias Baby China and Burlesk Queen. I am a Sharonian and Vilmanian at heart. LoL.

I have so much to blog about but the pain is making me irritable plus the weather isn't helping at all.

Lets just catch up some other time.
Toodles.

By the way, happy birthday to Stephanie Tio and Sarah Macabantog. I love you girlfriends!

I wanna leave you guys with a music video of Drip's Song number 9. I heart em.

Shameless advertising: (M)Pulse Mobile Bar


(M)PULSE Mobile bar. Hassle free party? go (M)PULSE! If you want to know more about (M)PULSE click on the banner on top! If you are so outdated on party terms (like me), a mobile bar is like a catering service, instead of food, they serve alcoholic drinks! Too bad for cebuanos, (M)Pulse operates in manila but one of the owners Cym is a cebuano! They offer open bar packages that are affordable and cocktails that have creative names.(like their famous Fudge You, Angel Kisses, Lycheetini and more) Some of the mix were made by Cym and soon will be introducing game shots (is that what you call em cym? hehe). If you don't know what "game shots" are, I think these are games that you play and drinking a shot is part of the consequence if you lose. So okey, I suck at this. haha Pictures and more info are available in the site. Make sure to book ahead of time as they are almost full on the weekends. Oh oh oh, plus I heard they have cute bartenders! They take care of the drinks, all you need to do is have some good and clean *wink* fun!

Photos are for the Benedicto College FAMES organization's AVP for this year's college acquaintance party slash induction of officers. I'm done with the AVP, it took me 16 hours to create the audio-visual presentation; I hope all my efforts are worth it by making our department and the organization's members proud.

Thank you for my friends, Armand, Nikki and Susan for helping me out with the photoshoot. Thank you for those who showed up during the shoot and our college dean for your all our support.

RIP Cory Aquino and more random rants.

I woke up with the sound of the door opening and the voice of my mom talking on her mobile phone as I followed her to her room to use the C.R., she told me the news that Corazon Aquino is dead. I thought it was a dream, I am always stunned with news about death, when I returned back to my bed I then took a moment of silence and prayed for her soul. A few minutes after, my dad called and asked me where my brother was, his phone cannot be reached and he didn't notify anyone that he wouldn't be sleeping at either my dad our the mabolo house. It was an odd morning today, slightly melancholic or I don't know....

2009 is the year when a lot of great people have passed away and I always told everyone that I hope Tita Cory wouldn't pass away this year, I still think that the people of the Philippines need her for moral and spiritual guidance especially in this phase that were going through (the upcoming elections, the birth of conass etc.). But I guess it was about time and with all the things that she has done for her countrymen and the inspiration she has given to many people around the world, I would say that she's one of the very few blessed individuals who has lived a life of righteousness to the fullest. Let her soul rest in peace.

It a Saturday and I'm home, trying to finish the papers for our application for accreditation. I missed the Sarah G and Up Dharma Down concert last night but it was alright, I didn't feel like going out after a hearty spur of the moment dinner with Pia at Don Juan. (By the way, I will be doing a Resto Rave about Don Juan whenever I have the time and my Mamma Maria pizza experience).

I'm quite frustrated cause I couldn't find the USB cable for my mobile phone to my computer. I think I lost or misplaced it somewhere with my coin purse that has my flash drive in it. I'm still not giving up, if my Tuesday I couldn't find it, I'll have to buy a new one.

Speaking off purchases, I did my groceries last friday as I have noticed that there were no food in the fridge. Doing the groceries is a love-hate thing. Why? Cause I just love going through the aisles and looking for what stuff to buy, trying to remember the essentials and stopping the urge to purchase those that I don't really need. I ended up buying 2 bags full of junk food and a bag of what I really need. The hate part? It's burning my money!!!! Urgh....

Yes, my friends stephanie will hate me once she sees all the junk food that I have stored in my room. Sometimes it can be too lazy to cook real food, so I end up just munching on junk.

It's august, I do remember telling myself to put on my GOAL SETTING CAP. I don't really want to check the weighing scale cause I'm afraid to see that I've actually gained the weight that I lost a few months ago. Then again, this time I will have to be serious in pursuing the promises that I told myself that I would do once August comes. So starting monday, no more unnecessary absences from school and no more slacking off. I need to be serious with this people!

Anyway, I have to leave now. I need some shut eye cause I have an appointment tomorrow with other CAMS member, I think were guesting on the local game show, Kapamilya Winner Ka. I seriously don't know what to expect for tomorrow if I'll be playing or just be watching others play but its gonna be something new for me.

Toodles everyone. TYVM.

Parting Shots:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
