Sundays are love! :)

I've been really stressed out from work these couple of days. Mandatory overtime which takes 3-4 hours a day after regular hours at work - ugh! Spell stress!

So today, after attending mass with my sister and niece, Phoebe, I decided to go to the mall and do a major pampering! :D

I've always wanted to try Salon Body scrubbing. I've read a few articles over the internet how relaxing and great it is. It's been since last month since I've been craving to do it, but doesn't have the guts to get naked in front of someone I don't know. This is me, and Jolo knows it. I don't like showing my body to anyone. I am the SHYEST (if there is such word) person in the whole wide world! I wax MYSELF. I don't go to salons to let them give me a bikini waxing. I do it myself. I don't like other people touching me although some people are just confident like it's normal. I don't know. Then today, I decided to do it! (waxing though is never an option!)

My first Body Scrub experience went well. The masseuse is very professional and friendly. It gotten weird when she had to scrub my boobs but it only took us around 5 mins around that area. It didn't kill me. HAHAHA! Right now I feel so fresh and I smell like milk & honey! I'm gonna have to do this more often! It's way more relaxing than getting a massage. :)

I also bought groceries, my own groceries. :) I really had a quality time with myself today. Now all I need is my book and I'm all set like a Senorita! :)

This is me after mass, posing like a geek for the webcam :D

My first body scrub experience! :))

My grocery: Milk, Strawberry Kiwi Juice, Swiss Miss & Twinkles Choco (a fun way to eat oatmeal) :)

I cannot resist! :D

** Lovely day!

The meds are working! I haven't vomited for 2 straight days. This is great right? :)
For today, work's been really good. I produced the most number of cases again, and I feel confident because I haven't gotten any DLA errors for this month. ^__^

I tried the other way to get to home today, that's riding the train. I got off work by 4:20 and I got home by 5:30. Hey hey! I think I'm gonna stick to this routine for a while! :) No more stress whenever riding the bus! That annoying headache I usually get!

I haven't been blogging like seriously for a while, it's probably because I don't know where to start. Most days, I don't know what to write, then days like this happens, I am all talkative and blogging like a highschool kid again! :))

Anyway, lately, I've been talking to the X. It's been 6 months since I last talked to him. Things just ended when I stopped communicating. Then one day, he messaged me and said he was happy for me. I don't know if he was honest. All I know is that it takes some serious guts to say that. I am happy for being back as friends *or whatever you call it* with him again. Last Saturday, I get to meet him and talk to him. Everything feels so normal even my best friend, Les, told me so. There is nothing sweet and nothing bitter. All I know is that he deserves a really great girl, one day he'll be happy as I am with Jols. I know he will. :)

So yeah, summer's coming and I just have one trip on my calendar! That kind of sucks! I want to have 6 more! :)) I was supposed to go surfing in Baler this month but my schedule changed and I can't afford to have any more absences since I wanted to do great at work. :| Hong Kong is coming up next month so that's something to look forward to. *Airplane ride with Les and more!* Ohh I can't wait!

This Saturday, there will be a grand sale at the Megatrade Hall. I got them tickets! My sister works at Maldita so she's got pretty awesome passes to some events! She got me one! :) YAY! I can't wait to buy the stuff I have on my list! :)

Tomorrow is Friday and Friday is Pay Day! :) I can't wait to be debt free again! I need to see my dentist and get a body scrub *for the first time*!

As of Jolo and I, things are doing great. Just had a little fight before bec of past issues, but like what they used to say "Past is past, worry about the future!" He's still sweet as ever, I know things will work out for the better! :)

~ Wish me to get well real soon! ;)

To cut or not to cut my long hair? I know! It's summer and the heat of the sun is unstoppable! I have this hairdo in my mind that I've been planning to get but I don't know if now is the right time. I mean, I love my LONG hair. Oh this is a dilemma! No really! :D

If this is PMS then the hell, it's a good one! :)

It's a Monday, I am in the mall and I FEEL GREAT! Yeah, I loved to say it, very much! :)

I woke up 3 am in the morning, decided to watch a movie. On my list, "The Reader". My dad used to say that it's just another bold movie. I was a bit curious (not that it sound porn-ish to me) because I know Kate Winslett won an Oscar award in that film! So I watched it.
Guess what? Tears went streaming in my eyes! Holy! Now I have puffy eyes! :)) I can't believe how much a crybaby I was! I am hilariously emotional! Hahaha!

I like David Kross - the young Michael Berg! :) His acting is... superb to me!

After the movie, I read some of my newly bought magazines and updated my calendar. Then I decided to hit the mall. :) I deposited cash to the Jolo/Jen savings account. :) It's for ze future! Hahaha! I am very glad I get to do this today. During weekdays, it's hard to drop by the bank since I always get tired from work all I do is sleep! :)) I did some grocery, mostly Jellies and Jellies. Hahaha! I have this thing in my mind that I'm about to put in action a little later. :] So right this very moment, I did a little research! Haha. I got my comfy food with me. Oh this is a perfect Monday! Should it be like this the whole week? :)

Apple Berry Juice Freeze, Strawberry Waffle and Plankton (my lappy) in Starbucks. :)

REALITY CHECK!

Work hasn't been a pain in my royal ass lately. Everything went fine and I had no audit since what? Two weeks ago? I can hardly remember! :) Speaking of work, my 6th month pay finally came and I am very happy about it! Happy to be able to give money to my dad! He doesn't really ask money from me ever since I started working, the thing is, I really want to pay him back with everything he has given to me. I want to give him everything he desires since he's been doing that to me ever since I was a kid up to now. :) I've got great parents, and now that I've got a great job, I get to share it with them. :)

Finally, the HK trip with the best friend is happening soon! :) I can't believe how cheap a round trip ticket is! I am so sorry but now that I am earning enough, some stuff look cheap to me than before. :) I am not bragging, just saying! Haha! I think I wanna tour Asia! And New Zealand! Really soon! :) So please, mother Earth, let me and my fancy feet see the whole world! 2012 is not happening! Aye! ;)

Okay, I am blogging like a highschool kid! So what!?

So tonight, I've got plans already! The team (in the office) decided to rent a resort house in Antipolo and I was asked to go. At first, I was in a hesitant to come because I might not enjoy because honestly, I don't mingle with a lot of people in the office. Then, I thought about my friends and how they bailed on me once we planned something like going out. This time, they asked and begged for me to go. I couldn't say no, I have such a big heart, no room for getting mad or whatever. I thought about my barkada and how they said they'll be partying on a Friday where in I won't be able to go because I have work. They might not go out on Saturday since they partied on a Friday. I think I don't want to stay home. So yeah, I pretty much said yes. :)

I love weekends! I get to have fun and not be serious like I am at work! Free spirit :)

I have to be sleeping now since I am going out tonight. Just want to share how amazing the Boyfriend is.
I know, it's been 3 months since I last saw him and kissed him and all the other stuff. It kind of suck to miss him so bad and not do anything about it. The wonderful thing is, I am still in love with him. Even more! :) I love the way he texts me and talks to me, he makes me really happy even when we're far apart. I just hope things won't change. :) You are amazing love! Keep it up! Haha! :D

Blackberry pictures insert!

This is me, a few hours ago. I know, I wore stripes again! Hahaha! It makes me look thin so bear with me! Lol. :)

This picture, however, was taken a few days ago. I put my hair in the back of my collar to make it look shorter and this is what I get. I think I want to cut it already but nanghihinayang ako. I haven't had a longer-than-my-elbow hair even before, I think I want to achieve that look in the future! Goodluck to me!

I don't drink coffee anymore unless it's Coffee Jelly. I've had like 5 Apple Berry Juice Freezes this month! My Gosh! Must stop! :) Look at the new Starbucks' cups! :)

Last girlfriend bonding with Leslie and Agnes! Ugh my face looks fat, but the heck! Hahaha! I love this picture! :)

K, that's it for now. Hitting the sack! Have a great weekend y'all. :)

Bolero from SG

A best friend from Singapore finally went back to the country for a one week vacation. :) It is quite fast but it's better than not come home! Right?

Kitt is one of those guys I love talking to because 1. He doesn't judge 2. He has so many things to say 3. He gives me plenty of good advice! I love this guy to bits! He's just as wonderful as always, shared too many stories from his big man journey in SG! :)

I have a question though, why do people seem to mature when they get out of the country? They are interesting to listen to. It's like they know so many stuff I wish I knew too! ;)

Another good day with friends, I miss this! :) Great Sunny Sunday!

Goodbye Lolo Ting :')

May the heavens welcome you as you reunite with the Father God :)

****

After work, I went home and headed to Lolo Ting's burial at Loyola Memorial Park. I cried of course, watching his wife, my Lola Lulu, cry and feel pain. It gave me a hard time. Knowing that she's alone now. They were just inseparable.

Well, things really do change. Death eventually comes. The end of a new beginning. Again, we love you Lolo Ting. May you rest in peace.

On death and losing a loved one

It was a good day, a new start of the week for me. I was on my way to work, Jolo and I were texting, catching up about the things that had happened lately when suddenly I received a text from my eldest sister telling me that my favorite lolo just died.

First thing that came through my mind is that how much I regret not visiting him in the hospital though I knew that he's really sick and almost dying. I thought that maybe I can visit him next weekend or some other day. I regret regret regret not being able to talk to him and joke with him (cus that's the thing he likes to do best). He is the happiest - carefree person I have ever met. Problems do not show in his face. He talks a lot, he is a keeper and I really miss him. :(

He is my Grandpa's brother. My grandpa is still alive though he has Parkinson's disease. My favorite lolo died because he's been sick with Cancer of the colon. He was a diet freak. He is a healthy person, I don't understand why of all people, he's the one who's been diagnosed with such a disease. :(

I cried for a couple of hours, tried my best to not cry (again) at work and went home with his memories until I slept. Today, we decided to visit the first day of his wake at Mt. Carmel Church in New Manila.

I was again, admiring the church and everything that surrounds it. It was indeed such a big church!

He looked really peaceful. This made me happy, seeing him all peaceful and not experiencing pain anymore. I guess it gives us all the thought that it's for the better. God took him because he is a good person, he probably needs an angel. :) He is the perfect person for that position.

******

I took a walk and found the Crematorium section of the church. The place smelled like a hundred flowers mixed altogether, it has become painful in the nose. There were pictures, letters and cards - it was sad.

******

I fear death. It's one thing I will never understand. All I know is I wanna be here like HERE forever. I don't want to grow old and die.

I know my Lolo Ting is in a happy place right now. I believe he is with God and all the other angels. I will surely miss you and all the things you do. We love you Lolo Ting. I love you. :")

New week's resolution

March was a blaaaah! I meant at work. :(
I was finally back on track with my grades during February, and now, March didn't give me a good start! I had errors, I had an SLA! And some people just love seeing you fall instead of making you feel better when you're already feeling bad! I just hate you! Err..

Anyway, that's the way how I remember how my Friday was (3/4/2011). No one is to blame, it was me and my carelessness! I just realized a few things now, when you're on top, so much attention is given to you, there are no room for errors. So now, I know what to do! I won't be doing the "Top Producer" thing anymore. I realized how fast I can process and I've been careless at times. I know, my fault! Now the thing is, people won't expect anything from me starting today. I'll do my work neat and clean! Yes, I am very determined at this! I don't care if they realize how slow I am getting as long as I know I'm doing the thing I like, being careful. And there's so much pressure when you're on top anyway. I am now targeting the "Quality" and not the "Quantity".

So yeah, today, no room for errors. If the auditor starts calling me again for his nonsense comments about my work, it better be for a good and reliable reason! You heard me!? :)

All the positive vibes at work today! Bless me! ;)

Hello, March! Let's go marching on! :)

Wow! Time surely is fast! I can't believe we're on the third month already! :) Come on, I'm getting old!

So yes, it's the first day of March. Leslie's birthday! My best friend's birthday! :)

Saturday A-ok!

*****

I was not feeling well last Saturday since I did 17 hour shift at work. It's something I had to do instead of go to work on a weekend. That must've sucked as hell.

My officemates made me say yes to this plan of going out after our shift. I have already made plans to see my Best friend and Girl friend that day and decided to cancel since it's an office thingy and it would be scary to say no.

I was ready to go out and I did all the planning since I know the place and the person to contact for VIP seats. And then an hour before the meet up, they started bailing on me!!! I literally wanna cry! Thank goodness the Best friend was there and she's always been so available nowadays, she accompanied me and we partied all night! The VIP seats were canceled but the Guest lists were still up. I just had to show up and it's not a big deal since I'm with my best friend :)

First, we went to eat dinner at Teriyaki Boy where we had Rice rolls and Sushis! :) Then we headed to her condo, stayed to watch American Idol. Headed out and ate nachos, had beer, listened to good music at Off the Grill (where Les found her "The One" which was the drummer boy named Stanley) :))



Then by 1 am, we headed to White Ave. :) We just laughed our asses off!



*****

In the morning, I accompanied her as she attended the fun run in Edsa! It wasn't much of a fun since something happened. :( Oh I will not tell!

I saw Phil and James Younghusband! @_@ Oh so lucky day!

ILOve ILOve! :)

****

It was planned a few weeks ago when we found out that Grandma's sick and was rushed to the hospital. We just had to see her and visit her. Good thing before we went to our hometown in Iloilo, Grandma was out of the hospital already. :)

It was actually my second time to visit Iloilo. Back to when I was 4 years old, I attended my Tita's wedding there. :) The place was a bit nostalgic. I appreciated my visit now since I'm old na. :)

It was my Dad, my Sister Lette, Bam, Pippay and I who spent 4 days back to our hometown. All we did was eat, share stories with my other aunts who were back from the US, and stroll all over the place. Twas fun! :)


I felt sad when we had to leave because of work and all. I really wanna spend more time with my Lola even if she's weak and needed rest most of the time. All I wish is for her to regain her strength and live longer and happy. :) I love you, Granny! ;)

Mi Valentino

******

I woke up early this morning since it's a Sunday, I haven't been doing anything last night. I opened my laptop, played with it and surfed my favorite networking sites for the latest news about my friends.

Then, about 8 this morning, my dad knocked on my door, perfect! He's shouting something about a package. I rushed immediately to the door because it must have been one of my mom's and my shoes and all the other stuff she sent from the US! (I am eager like that, oh material things!) And to my surprise, a cheesy manong/delivery guy from LBC hands me a box which obviously looked like bouquet in the inside. The box was wrapped with a blue ribbon, my heart flip flopped. I hate/love surprises!

And today, sending me 4 dozen of red fancy roses, right to my doorstep, with my dad! Truly priceless! :) Everything was a bliss! Because honestly, if there's one thing that could make me happy, it would be giving me flowers. Really. Flowers are my weakness. If I ask you to give me flowers, I am desperate.

When I opened the box, it made me cry. There's this card that says "Flowers muna while I'm not there" and it made me super cry. It's not that it sucked because he's not here, it's because he is so romantic and I just don't want to end the moment. I feel so special and loved. :) I know! I am such a princess! :P

I posted a picture of me on Facebook while I was carrying the bouquet, wearing my pajamas and the shirt I wore when I watched 127 hours with Les yesterday. HAHAHA! Gross! :)) There were like 40 plus people who liked the picture. It just means that guys, girls love flowers! We do! :)

I cannot take the smile away from my face. It's written all over me. I am in love. Distance and whatsoever doesn't really matter. You know when you love someone. :) Happy hearts' day to everyone, have a magical day you all, your hearts deserve it! :)

How messy can my room get?

My room is like my comfort place. It is one of the places I will definitely miss when I die (not that I'm dying ok!). :)

I cried when our house was destroyed by the Typhoon Ondoy late 2009. My room was flooded and everything got muddy! It took a month to clear the dirt out. Until now, some parts of the wall are still muddy.

My room reflects my personality. I am not a tidy person. I know!:)) I like my things messy. HAHAHA! (Turn offff!) I clean sometimes, but I leave my things mostly scattered everywhere. A sneak peak of my room, here it goes!

Say hello to my rainbow bed! The bed sheet almost falling out! :))

My study table/makeup desk/dresser/tambakan :))

My TV plus the Women's health magazines on top of it. My dad dressed my TV! :D

The DVD/Book shelf. Mixed! :))

I don't really know how my dvd player ended up on the floor! :)) Yes, those are my DVDs! Plus the Pocky pretzels Nikki got for me last year! Not yet eaten! :))


Below my desk are other crap! :)) Shopping paperbags, boxes and plastics! Jen, why so messy? :D

Some of my mostly used shoes. Look at the wall, see what Ondoy left for me? :(

And tada!, My pj's and feet! Hahaha! :))

So maybe today, it's a wake up call for me and decide what to do with my room. Messy or not, it's me. ;)

6 months :)

Today is my 6th month in Accenture. It is not a big surprise actually, I know I'm always doing great when it comes to work so there is no reason not to make it to 6 months! :)

It is official, I am now a permanent Employee of Accenture! :) (cheers to that!)

So, I can't let this moment pass without buying something, like a treat for myself!
During my first month in Accenture, I decided to get my teeth a treat and get braces. :)
On my 3rd month, I got myself an iPhone (remember Puglsy?) :)
And on my 6th month, I decided to get myself a laptop! ;)

Jolo and I have been planning on buying our own laptops since we needed it for Skype and all. We can't just borrow all the time and I just can't use the one we have in the family room since it's for public use. I mean, I can't use Skype when everybody's watching TV right?

My sister went to the mall with me and helped me do the "shopping" :)

At first, I have Lenovo, Dell and Samsung as my picks! Then, I ended up buying the expensive Vaio! :D

Hindi naman siya sobrang stress since I used my credit card and added some cash para less ang expenses. Plus, I really think I needed to get something that will last, not because this costs less, eh eto na. I have to buy something that is really worth it. So yes, I did get myself the Vaio. The slimmest one! :)

As of now, I haven't downloaded everything I want for my laptop. Only the few ones like Skype, YM, Firefox and Torrent. :) Kulang pa! So I'm gonna say goodbye for now. Expect more blogging soon! ;)

Dance, dance, dance!

I don't go out and party in a disco club a lot. I don't dance and show everyone my moves. :)) I am not that much of a party girl in short.
Then these days.. I feel completely not a newbie to it anymore.

Since my best friend went S as in Single again. I decided to go along with making plans and effort to make her happy, most especially during weekends. Of course, I miss the Boyfriend a lot but there's nothing to do about it. I don't wanna whine the whole weekend so might as well enjoy and have fun.

So yeah, few weekends ago, we decided to go to White Ave and yes, dance! It was hella fun since we feel old! Hahaha! The crowd were hippy and fun and YOUNG! Of course I didn't go there to spot or fish for a guy for myself! I am completely aware that all I can do is stare and nothing! Plus, other guys/boys/men are completely NOTHING compared to my boyfriend in NZ. :)

Then yesterday, we decided to go to Attica, where we kind of belong. :)) I mean, the crowd! Not a bunch of young highschool boys and girls. :) I went there with the best friend Leslie, Tom and Chawz. They have a game plan and it didn't work. For the nth time! :))

I was feeling sick and sleepy but I still danced. I don't wanna be a party pooper anyway. I had like 6 glasses of Tequila Rose and nothing! Hangover free on the day after. ;) Thanks Mr. tummy!

Dancing is like taking all the stress away! Work has been much of a stress lately and all I wanna do is breakfree!

Dinner at Cafe City

Most of my Sundays are now spent with my Best friend, Leslie. Today, after being completely wasted in a dance party last night, we decided to meet up in the mall and just eat dinner together.

I tell you, the Spaghetti Meat-sauce in Cafe City is by far the best! :)

Happy MLK!

Today is a Holiday! Yup, it's Martin Luther King's day in the US so, it's a holiday for us at work. :)

I kind of planned for this one, like how to spend this holiday a few weeks ago already. My friends and I decided to hang out and dance in a bar like we've never done before. I was actually planning to let my best friend, Chawz, meet a girl and just have a great time since he's bumming around several weeks ago about some stuff he can't get over.
The thing is, he really can't get over. He acts pretty weird and says how he doesn't wanna hang out anymore. I was pretty bummed too because I already planned the whole night and I really wanna go out and have a great time since it's my holiday.
Plan B, the best friend (Les) and I decided to go out with our girlfriends Meg and Shaine. Plan B did work because we had so much fun since we just talked about random stuff.:)

We went to visit an old friend's resto/bar near our place called Vicente's :) I've been there before like one time and I've been bummed because the Ex - boyfriend and I have been fighting that day. You see, the owner of the bar named Greg was like a past (like really really past), like highschool days! I was crushing on that guy like summer of 2005! Hahaha! Then again, it was actually the best friend Les who kind of had a serious thing with him dated 2008. A lot has happened that year, yes?

So anyway, we did see him and talked. It's just so weird to be hanging out with him again since I remember a lot of my past just looking at him (mostly the younger and stupid days of my life!). It's just awkward 'specially when the part he says something about marriage. Haha! It's just complicated. And things will never be fixed and i don't want it to get fixed so I'll settle for the awkwardness. Yes? (Lots of nonsense talking here)

So yeah, the margarita tasted like juice and it didn't even get us drunk, not a bit! We ended up sleeping early. I had fun anyways. ;)

Date with the Girlfriend & the Bestfriend :)

Wasted my Saturday by lying in bed for hours doing nothing except sleeping. :) My teeth still hurt, the Mefenamic is the only savior I have.

So I decided to go out since it's a Sunday. :)

I've been waiting for so long to meet my girl friend named Agnes. She and I haven't been seeing each other for years! (Lol on that) The last time I saw her was last December and it's pretty much like a hi and hello since I was shopping with Jolo in the mall. God I miss her!

She's like, the bubbliest most adorable person in the world. We share stories, any kind!
Today, we ate at Bigoli where I had a Lasagna since I can't bite and chew properly. Then waited for Leslie and off to watch The Tourist! As for the movie, it didn't suck like everyone was talking about. It was actually pretty good. I laughed at most of the scenes because Johnny Depp is much of a comedian! Sobrang nakakatuwa siya. :)

We finally exchanged our Christmas gifts. :) Then she went to meet her parents and Les and I were left. We decided to grab some Froyo. :)
My other Best Friend, Elleryn, dropped by too. So yes, my weekend is complete! :)

Why it hurts..

I had another adjustment today. A Dentist appointment for my braces. My sisters have been saying na umaayos na ang teeth ko. Well, the results have been good lately. But today, sobrang sakit niya. Why?

Dr. J puts the molar bands na. It's like a steel cover pasted around my molars! :||| Yes, this will make me thin! I guess. :|



The reason I still like my braces today, they are glow in the dark! Pampalubag loob ba. :)) I am such a kiddo! When I told my dentist na gusto ko Glow in the Dark, he laughed. Ako na! :))
