it's that season again, folks.

while i was brushing my teeth this morning, the radio blared, "come to baguio." i stopped mid-brush stroke and smiled at the mirror. why not i said to my reflection as if sharing a secret with the other me. i was running late for work [as usual] but i took my time in clasping my trusty platform sandals and fixing my hair. i felt like dressing up today just like the good ole times up north. it felt perfectly alright to wear my four-inch sandals even if i had to walk a few blocks. i do that a lot in college anyway.

it's a perfect day for walking even if there are signs of rain. i ditched my umbrella the last minute despite my mother's vehement warnings of sudden rain pour. i said it's okay i'm sure i'd get to the office dry. something about the cool air brings back fond memories and i can't help but smile myself stiff at the thought. i keep a lot of inside jokes in my head that i find myself getting lost in reverie while the whole street is wondering what the heck is wrong with that strange girl [haha, add in 'why is she smiling?' and 'what is she wearing?!']. i don't mind being drenched so long as i experience that moment. [cool air in manila is rare, people. tchh.]

how many weekends have gone and i still am not able to take the north route. i should be used to it but i find it difficult and still rather unsettling. my folks often wondered why i keep planning baguio trips when i had had a good four years there. duh. four years there is exactly why. i will never tire of fantasizing walks up and down session road, tree-hugs in john hay, my favorite people and places and the yumminess of everything cool and green and pine-scented! [bah, screw parallelism, not in the mood to be a grammar whore].

before i sound like a broken record, i bet you already saw this coming, lemme just say that my heart beats oh-so-strongly still for the place that it calls home. so there.

and i miss you.

so last week, i was supposed to be up there, but tchh, i was sent to man a banquet in laguna [my gulay laguna bat di na lang tarlac o baguio].

this is why:

guess who the celebrity *really* is

it's not the guy in the middle. duh.
tas naalala ko lang, si ex crush ko from baguio was teased na he looks like carlos agassi daw. awe cmon cinnamon, he's not that panget. muhahahahaha. :D

and gosh, i'm so bilog. hahahahaha.

ay nako xaris ayos buhay

hello. i am a very busy woman.
right.

You Have Many Alpha Tendencies

You're not a total alpha female, but you certainly know how to - and like to - get your way. You're forceful without being intimidating. You're confident without being vain. A perfect mix.

 

You Are Low Maintenance

Otherwise known as "too good to be true" You're one laid back chica - and men love that! Just remember that no good guy likes a doormat. So if you find your self going along to get along... Stop yourself and put up a little bit of a fight.

sabi sayo eduardo at alfe [na kunyaring nagbabasa ng mga blog ko] hindi ako high M. muhahahaha. spread the word peo-pole! awe yeah. :D

Your Aura is Violet

Idealistic and thoughtful, you have the mind and ideas to change the world. And you have the charisma of a great leader, even if you don't always use it! The purpose of your life: saying truths that other people dare not say Famous purples include: Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Susan B. Anthony Careers for you to try: Political Activist, Inventor, Life Coach

i don't think i'd be a great political activist as my political inclination is limited to Biblical communism which isn't entirely grasped by the general audience. eh, someday, someday. inventor, yes i will invent a better dictionary [muahahhaha!]. life coach... seriously, i don't even have a life, what do i coach?

mara and xai hit gateway

mara means bitter but this girl's really sweet.
i hearts her to pieces. like whoa. :D

hello naman dyan mga tsong

Your Love is Based on Romance

You are a traditional romantic, and you can't help but be a sucker for romance. A few great dates won't make you fall in love with someone... but they can't hurt! You take love seriously, and you take it slow. You know you are destined for true love. You have an ideal of how love should be - and you won't stop looking until you find it. Why your love can last: You know what's important in building a relationship, and you don't take shortcuts in love. Why your love can fail: Your expectations are very high... so high that it's hard to meet them.

Your Psyche is Violet

You are spiritual, intuitive, and serene. People trust you to rescue them from bad situations, and you usually come through. While you are quite enlightened, you find that your path is very lonely. When you are too violet: you can't connect to ordinary life or ordinary people When you don't have enough violet: you lack wisdom and can't learn from the past

so that explains my single streak. aaah.

happy jeremiah day!

so not a camwhore. tchhh.

you'd like him better smiling. :D he says that people who get past the 'first phase' of meeting the jeremiah jones are special. so i guess that makes me super sayan. and in record time, too.

smile, jerry, smile!

and he'd cover his face automatically. he likes cheese but not so much as saying cheese! nyar. like camera flashes suck out people's souls. *rolls eyes*

eye-rolling is a constant face contortion when he's around. not because you get annoyed but because it just comes naturally. oh, but spending time with him does help exercise eye muscles. hahaha.

he's not as 'evil' as he used to be. but who's complaining? i know i'm not. on most days.

he's whine and cheese put together perfectly. geddit? whine? cheese?

he's become my afternoon habit. can't last a day without a cyber wave from the ultimate cyber/real life snob.

so to you on your birthday, even if you burst my bubble a whole lot, i wish you sunrays and saturdays. perfect starry nights. sweet dreams and moon beams and a love that's warm and bright. sunrays and saturdays. friendship strong and true. oceans of blue and a room with a view. to live the life you choose, my favorite baguio boy [ngayon  lang yan ah kasi burfday mo].

whoot! whoot! have a berry happy birthday doooode! blessed be. :D

happy jeanxie day!

the goofy smile that won, ehem, ehem, IT.

everyone at the dorm thought we'd been best friends since pre-school when we actually just met at the enrollment line. we were both wearing denim jackets then, if i remember correctly. you were ahead of me on the queue and you got to pick your class sched first. what the heck, i did not even read the schedule, i just checked off the block you took. and so we were blockmates.

your mom and my mom seemed like long lost friends, insisting that we belong on the same floor, so the dorm managers really had no choice but to put us on the same room together. we even had our beds beside each other [of course you remember we chose the lower bunks]. and then we were room mates.

being the college freshmen that we were, it seemed a good idea then to stick together. from getting up in the morning to heat bath water to singing in the shower because it was freaking cold. i think that was the start of our singing career. bath songs. remember when they used to request a duet [that was weird] during bath time? hay these brehans are so funny.

did i ever get to thank you for having my back when i seriously ticked off 'lord' ef? you never left me then even when the whole dorm hated me. and so, by manner of association, they disliked you too. i don't think i could imagine living it down without you there [and ate em and ate dee]. made living through 'hell' a lot, lot bearable.

you are really the original sunshine. good morning sunshine! dahil bukas, sisicat din ang araw. you shone, dear, you reallly did.

thanks, too for walking with me in the rain... with blue paint and murdered umbrellas from upper session to the dormitory. i couldn't have had a happier first baguio birthday minus being paint and rain soaked, walking like crazy with my best college buddy.

happy rain memories rooted from that time and i couldn't care less if it rains when i sing, as long as i sing with you. what did you call us then? psychic song partners? didn't we belt out the same songs with the same lines exactly as if it were planned? blueberry cheesecake will never mean the same again.

you do know how much i love you even when we fell apart, right? thanks for that, too. growth spurted from there. and look where we are now, we're as okay as the first day we met. like best friends since pre-school.



jean kathleen abigail! cheers to you! to 22 years of God's faithfulness in your life. and to more birthdays we're going to celebrate! whoot! :D i hearts you like whoa. mwaaaaaah!

:: oh geez. why? :D

seriously, you need to get a life.

You Are an "It Girl"

You're outgoing, friendly, and charismatic. You are aware of your image, and you are constantly improving yourself. You're definitely the type of girl people love to be around!

Are You An "It Girl"?

You Are 72% Bitchy

While you may not think of yourself as the ice queen, admit it, you're often in a bad mood. And it's those around you who often bear the brunt of your annoyance, even if they haven't done anything wrong!

How Bitchy Are You?

You Are a Red Crayon

Your world is colored with bright, vivid, wild colors. You have a deep, complex personality - and you are always expressing something about yourself. Bold and dominant, you are a natural leader. You have an energy that is intense... and sometimes overwhelming. Your reaction to everything tends to be strong. You are the master of love-hate relationships. Your color wheel opposite is green. Green people are way too mellow to understand what drives your energy.

What Color Crayon Are You?

happy baguio day!

98 and counting.
oh yeah! :D

i hearts you like whoa heart's hometown!
