tattoo with style

i was browsing through pulutong's photos during his vacation here and i smiled when i got into this one.

we vandalized on each others arms while waiting for our flight to manila.

i laughed while reminiscing the memories of our flight to manila. we were both restless and talked and laughed like crazy.

this was the best tattoo ever!

this is what love can do ^__^

party like the upper - upper

i got excited when i received a text from my friend after my shift last night. since everyone was going out and i was the only left with no plan, at all, it was a breather to get an invite. so i immediately said yes.

i was already walking halfway to our meeting place when my friend called me to ask if they should bring clothes for me. and i asked, oh, is there a dress code? and my friend said, it's an exclusive party. and the she said something that made me stop breathing. sir kevin is at the party. "the sir kevin"! i got suffocated, i needed to eat halo-halo in chowking to regain some oxygen.

breath in....breath out.

a few minutes later, we are in the phillips morris' party. great! i was relieved when someone announced that sir kevin was in another place. whew! i would have fainted right in front of him if he were there....well, the party was okay. full of youngster fashionistas and the upper - upper. i definitely didn't belong there. then bobby asked us to transfer to "flow", which i thought was a good thing. have i known that sir kevin was in "flow", i would have gone home.

so "flow" it was. and he was there, mingling with his friends while we clinged to our own group. we endured the overly-mixed music in "flow" for a while before deciding to go someplace where we can chat.

we were having a great time talking and laughing at the brewery, with bobby's animated stories and anecdotes and his crazy fantasies, when sir kevin came over to join us. what's worse, he stood right across to where i was sitting and joined in the conversation. i tried my best not to stare and gape at him. sometimes our eyes would lock for a few heartbeats. that was more like my fantasy! hahaha! when he gulped down the last drop of his beer, we decided to leave the brewery.

sir kevin and bobby were already gone when we got downstairs. so the rest of us decided to have some warm batchoy before going home. we talked for a few more minutes over the steaming caldo and the cold january breeze.

the upper - upper party ended at breaking dawn. i was down the minute i hit the sheets.

why, jmd?

juan miguel de guzman.

i first saw him in the movie, "ang babae sa sceptic tank", where he played the role of a young producer for an indie film. from there, i thought, oh, i like this guy. then i forgot about him. but every time i see him perform on tv, i can't help but smile. like, involuntary smile. i even blurted it once to my friends when we were watching ASAP, that jm makes me smile.

there's something about him that makes my muscles constrict to form a smile. it must be his smile that makes me smile.

oh, the wonder effect of jm de guzman :) :) :)

i stalked them!

i had time to view some photos that i took a few years back from my mj-hd. those were photos of me and my friends and some breathtaking views. as i scrolled through each album, there are always some faces whom i can't recognize. for a while, i would dive down to my sunken memory and try to remember who those people were. and then, there's a spark somewhere in my brain that says, oh yes! i stalked them! when i let my memory wander even farther, i can remember when and where were the photos taken....

i apologize to those who've been subjects to my crazy wanderings....





i took a picture of this guy sitting across me on a train from Hornbaek to Copenhagen. this is what "sleeping like a baby" means.




this was taken along Copenhagen's walking street. my friends and i decided to unwind after we bade goodbye to mabeth in Kastrup. then, an angel in red sweatshirt ate my heart out.




can't stop following the guy in blue shirt, over there :)




awwww...ain't they adorable?

obvious admiration. mads and johan...

ps. i don't mean no harm...maraming salamat po sa panandaliang aliw...

i hope i can beat this

my mind, body and soul are beaten today. i feel so weak and lost...absent-mindedly going through the day. when you give yourself to your work, your work gets everything of you. it sips all the positive juice from your body and it seems impossible to regain strength.

now it's time to hit the sheets and hope that tomorrow, i will be stronger and better than today :)

god natta!

farewell strawberry sundae

some things change.

andy, my constant buddy for sundae treats had a change of heart. i was surprised when she snobbed the message that i sent to her on the messenger, to go down for our usual splurge. after a minute of silence, i ran over to her pod. and there she told me that she had to watch her diet from then on 'coz she's gaining weight. hearing that from a 5'6" tall and 44 kg. comparative lit grad, was like a slap on my face. look at me! and look at her! if she thinks she needs to go on a diet, then i should definitely stop eating, at all!

i was quiet for a while. i ran out of words to say. i had a picture of the strawberry sundae on the right side of my brain and i had a picture of me weighing 60 kg on the left side of my brain. at last, when reason won over desire, i told her, "yeah, you're right! you will be my inspiration!"

so from now on, there will be lesser or no more trips to jollibee.

goodbye, sundae.




... everyday deserves a sundae ( jollibee ) ...

music and magic
