The Three Question Personality Test

Thank God It's Friday

Had a date with Ther in Greenbelt. Ate in MyLK. Yumyum. Watched Deuce Bigalow. It was disappointing. 40 Year Old Virgin is still the best. My phone's bat was empty so had to turn it off. Then met up with Madel and Patty. Chilled in Masas while Madel and Patty ate dinner. Ther ordered 2 litros which hit me a little too much. Went to Ponti afterwards. Then went home. That was fun. Girl's night out.

I checked my phone and I got missed calls from Ida, Marga and Toni. Turns out they went here at home to pick me up and go to Tagaytay. But but but...I wasn't here and there was no way for them to contact me, given that my phone's off. Awww.. They borrowed Zaza's camera instead and went to Fort. Dang. I'm missing those gagas.

5 Things I was Grateful For Yesterday
1. My mom allowing me to go out.
2. Kuya Collin for picking me up even if it was late. I knew he had to bring Zaza to school this morning.
3. The goddesses!!! For their spontaneous combustion even if I wasn't here. :(
4. Ther for lending me money. I only had P90 in my wallet.
5. For my comfortable bed where I'm allowed to pass out.

Hmmm... I'm excited for the long break... Really really really excited. I wanna go to the beach... woohOoOoO!!!

Laughtrip!

Hayyy..this day just did it. Saya. Nothing really...just a day filled with laughter. I laughed til my stomach hurt. Got the abs workout I desperately needed. Hayy..I hope this is the start of my good vibes. Tomorrow's another day. Woohoo!!!

Bitch Mode

I hate the world today..tan-dan..

And yes, indeed. I feel like the world hates me too. I've been trying my best to greet each day with a smile but the circumstances are just beyond my reach.

The whole of last week was really bad. This week, I had a good start. But Tuesday night comes and my parents ruin it. It was supposedly a good day today. I'm not complaining about the stress anymore. I'm used to it and I am thankful for it. It gives me self-worth, knowing I'm busy with school be it academic related or not.

I just remembered the movie, About A Boy. He says in the end we need back up. I feel like of all the people around me now, I don't. I don't have a back up.. I don't have a back-up!!!

BAD VIBES!

I've been having my bad vibes since Saturday. This is just sooo fucking annoying. It all started when my sister flew off to Boracay with no warnings whatsoever. Well yeah we were aware she was going to Boracay but she didn't tell that she was gonna leave at 3am that Saturday morning when all of us were still in bed dreaming. She goes to our room and gives us all instructions she could have given to us during the week. She could have at least told us she was going the night before. Everyone thought her friends were just gonna sleep over. She even brought with her the green top she knew I was gonna wear to the JEMA Acquaintance Party (which was a big hit, by the way). If Zaza didn't go to the bazaar that day and saw a few cool stuff, I would have gone naked for I really had nothing to wear. Then Kuya Collin out of nowhere said he felt dizzy and didn't want to drive because we might get into an accident. So that meant, my well-planned night out of fun fun fun was just shattered.

What happened was my brother was kind enough to drive us to Capone's for the JEMA party but!!! He made it very clear I was going home at 12mn. Fuck. It was the last weekend before Mom and Dad goes home and I still had a frikking curfew. We passed by my friend, Ther's condo since she was going with me and I promised I'd pick her up. 2 minutes away, she texts me and says our 2 blockmates were also riding. WHAT THE FUCK?! 2 minutes later, my brother (the driver), Tricia, Zaza, me, Ther, Patty and Jenx were inside a small bronze car which was designed for 5 people. What's worse, Patty and Jenx weren't even going to the JEMA Party with us! They also didn't even bother to ask if they could ride with us in our car. Talk about major kapal-muks. They literally used me. To hell with them. I mean, sure they're my friends, but asking me was the least that they could have done. They didn't even ask Ther if they could changer in her condo. They just went there and did it. Jeez. So anyway, they dropped me and Ther off Capone's. The party was fun. There were lotsa people, thank goodness. Then I went to the bathroom and found out I had my period. Good thing I wore liners.

Ther and I begged Aga to come to the JEMA Party. The three of us, actually are the self-proclaimed cool people from the block, and we're the only ones who know it. He came with his 2 friends. Since I begged them to go, the least I could do was give him free drink stubs. I was hosting when they came, so I wasn't able to talk to them. Good thing the program was almost over. I finished hosting the party, went to them and he then made me decide whether to stay or to go to Corik's then to the opening of his friend's dad's bar. After 5 minutes of thinking, I decided to leave the party. Part of me wanted to stay because good music was playing, people were giving me free tequila shots. But a part of me said I should go to Corik's and check out what's happening (Jam texted me that night to bring people from the party since there were no people, literally). So I went to Corik's with them and there were really no people. Criminy. I wasn't in the mood for any of that, I wanted to party! Then I see my fellow Sige Productions' faces: Jam, Ted and Ivan..and it was just irritating. Fucking irritating. Ohh and by the way, Patty and Jenx were there. I knew they were glad to see me and Ther. Or rather, they were glad to see that Aga and his 2 friends were there. Those girls were dying to see them. And denying that they weren't expecting them was pathetic. They went through all the trouble just to see Aga's friends and it was obvious. Well, anyway whatever. The bands weren't bad. Madel came in late. After the MTV shoot, Aga and his friends left with Ther and of course, Patty and Jenx, (why wouldn't they?) they almost forgot Madel. I was left behind since my brother set me a curfew. It was 1am and they haven't arrived because Zaza's telenovela took quite a while to finish. In fact, they picked me up at 2am. So that meant I was talking to this weirdo named Mon about music. He was the former manager of Chubibo and he kept saying he could hook us up with whoever. WHATEVER!! I wasn't in the fucking mood engage in any deep conversation about art and music that time!!! And I did for 1.5 fucking hours while Jam and Ivan just watched me. Were they morons?! FUCK!!! It was dreadful! Then when the goodbye part came, that frikking weirdo shook my hand and held on to it and said something like "I know I'm evil because I can remember the guy who invented the microscope, but I can't remember your name." WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!?! That was just Saturday night.

Sunday came. Good thing we were just at home most of the time. Went to Eastwood because we're gonna watch The 40-Year Old Virign, and then after that, dropped off Tricia in Katipunan. The movie was frikking hilarious, thank goodness.

Yesterday..nothing seemed to working. Everything just went horribly wrong. Even the little things. Even today!!! I mean, I was supposed to go to Metrobank Alabang so I could encash the cheque SMART gave me for the sponsorship. But nooo...I had to go to the Makati branch in Dela Costa street. Turns out there were TWO 2 TWO!!!! fucking branches in that street. WHen I got to the right one, they told me I can't encash it because the cheque says I can't. SOOOO I had to go to the SMART Tower in my slippers. Rode the wrong elevator and then eventually met up with Tin who didn't know what to do. So the only option I had was to open an account in Metrobank. BUT WAIT!! They put L instead of R for my middle initial which meant I can't receive the money that I needed desperately to pay Capone's for Saturday's event. Sooooo all that trouble for nothing. PUTANG INA! Thank goodness the EB meeting in Yellow Cab was free.

I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It's only Tuesday and it's a long fucking week to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Another weekend passed..

It's 11:39pm. 21 Minutes left of my weekend. Didn't do anything productive. I was singing for almost 4 hours last night. Ate Erin borrowed the Magic Sync a few weeks ago, and it's still here. The planned party for Marben didn't push through, so I stayed home instead. Well..there's this party I was invited to, but I didn't wanna go. Just keepin' it real. Hmm.. Today, did nothing. Went to SM North Edsa to pick up Zaza. Haven't been there for years. There were some changes, but it's still the same, generally. The Bible store is still there and that frame shop. Cafe Elisee wasn't there though. And still packed with people. That why we decided to leave. Went to Ubay, too. Saw Mama, Papa, Tita Liber, Tita Chona, Tito Bernie, Tita Ruby and the kids.

Ate dinner at Cibo with Zaza. Pissed off Ate Erin and Jan for a reason I really dunno. Bought VCD's at Tower: I Am Sam, The Notebook, A Lot Like Love and About A Boy. Finally! Movies!!! I've been wanting to watch kilig movies and I also wanna cry..so bought those. Hehe. Just finished A Lot Like Love, actually. Weird. I wanna cry for no reason at all. I just want to. Maybe if I have time this week, I'll watch I Am Sam. For sure, even if I watch it a thousand times, I'll cry everytime. Oh..I also bought this 4-cd set of how to learn Spanish. Hehe. I've been wanting to learn Spanish so I guess that's the perfect way. I'll put it in my iPod (well..hafta get rid of a few songs, I guess) and I'll play it over and over...or! I'll play it in my room when I go to bed. Hehe. Hope that works!

1 day my parents are away and I buy all sorts of things. Jeez. It's just today..FYI...

Hayy.. I wanna go to Tagaytay. Aga and I have been wanting to go there but we have our own plans on weekends. But I really wanna go and just chill. If I just have my frikking license, I would have gone last night. I'd go on my own. Oh wait.. I dunno how to get there. So fine, maybe I need someone with me. Just the thought of going there makes me excited. I don't want to have lots of people. 1-3 people is fine..or maybe 5.. But not more than that. I feel like bringing too much people when you wanna chill ruins it. With a few close friends (not even..just good conversationalists)..stop over, have a few drinks and just talk talk talk. Talk about shallow stuff that will just turn into something deep without the people realizing it. You'll get too involved in the conversation that you lost track of time. Then you realize, it's morning. You head home and quietly sneak into your bed. Steady...

Anything Goes..

My parents are packing and in four hours, they'll be leaving for Germany..and US? I'm not sure. They'll be out of the country for about 3 weeks, I think. My mom, as usual is being sentimental. I'm supposed to attend a seminar for the Philippine Junior Marketing Association but it's from 12-6pm, which means I won't be able to bid them goodbye. The other day, Mom was so madrama that she didn't want any of us to leave today. My brother asked her, "BAKET?!" like it was the most ridiculous thing. The morning after that, I sat down on the breakfast table with my Mom talking to my Dad. She was talking to him but she wanted me to hear everything she said. "Hayy nako yang mga anak mo. Baket daw di pwedeng umalis sa Sabado. Hindi ko alam kung walang mga utak o walang.." As always, she never finishes her sentences. I almost wanted to laugh but of course, it wasn't appropriate. I wanted to say.. "Ano? Walang puso??" Oh well. My mom. She's supposed to be like that. She could be really irritating and sentimental but she keeps us all insanely sane and I love her. So, yes. I decided to skip that important seminar (since it's my job to link JEMA with other outside orgs).

So what do the Sarmiento Kids do when the parents are out of the house for 3 weeks?! Par-tey!!! Haha. I dunno. Who'll stand up and be the head of the family? Hmm.. Ate Erin, I think will be going to Boracay. My brother has his own thing on weekends. Me? Uhh..I wanna go out. Zaza..I dunno, maybe some cooking competitions? Haha. This could be fun. Yes it could be. We're left however with responisbilities: the house, bills to pay, etc. Sus. Kaya yan!

JEMA, Batch Assembly. Driving me nuts. I have a 5 hour break every MWF and almost everytime, I'm meeting with JEMA people for about 4 hours, leaving me only 1 hour to chillax. Damn. On Thursdays, I have an 1130 meeting for the batch party, we're organizing. Thank goodness we don't have a gig tonight, but I want to go out to get my mind off things for a while. I'm feeling the pressure, but I'm stepping up. I'm glad. But gawwddd.. I flunked my first test on Taxation. It was frikking easy. I just didn't read the book. FOCUS!!! That was a wake-up call for me. First test already and I flunked..ain't good at all!!! So yeah..there's a lot of catching up to do.

There's something I want sooo badly right now. Oh and for your information it has nothing to do with shopping or spending. It's for my future, actually. I feel like I didn't do very good at all, but I'm still hoping, hoping. Wish me luck. Maybe this would put an end to the voices pulling me down.
