Since I've Been Gone

Wow. Lotsa happening since my last post.

I am officially back in my fitness mode. Yeahoo!! I should keep this up!!! Yeah..pat on the back there for me.

Angela came over. That was fun. I love her! She gave us henna tattoos and make up. Really cool. She's cool actually. I like it when she talks about things..it's always a different perspective. She's artsy, very down to earth, and just really fun to be with. She became a PTF member just 2 nights ago and the answers she gave to our PTF questions were great. Haha!!! Apart from the compliments we got from her, which was a lot, it was nice to know what has been happening with her and with the people in the US. Makes me wanna go back!

Speaking of going back..Dad went to the US mostly for business matters but he got the chance to visit Tita Babet and Tito Emi. Just last night over dinner, he was telling us all about his trip which includes his limo ride in New York (wow..that has to be the bomb!!!) and of course, the three boys: Estefano, Enzo and Sebastian. It's good to know that Enzo is getting better, Sebastian is already walking, and Estefano is still the same: still very smart and talkative. On the other hand, Dad got to see Tito Emi's new house. No...make that Tito Emi's $2M house (that's P100M!!). It's on a cliff which I suppose has an amazing view. He has 2 new cars: the Porsche Carreira (which we saw before he actually bought it) and the Mini Cooper (!!!). I hope he and Tita Che are really okay. I mean..they should be living the life. Upon hearing all that...I WANNA GO BACK!!! I hope.. I hope the chicken business goes well. Let's keep our fingers crossed on this one!

Big Fish died yesterday. It was sad!!! He was sooo big and so white. It couldn't have been the water cos if it was, all the other fishes would have died. He didn't have any scars, nothing! So the cause of death is unknown. I'd like to think of it as luck. Big Fish died for our sins.. No...he caught all the bad luck that we were supposed to have. He's our savior!!!

What else what else. I'm starting to feel the stress once again for my event. Pray that everything goes well!!!

Never Gone

Backstreetboys were NEVER GONE and they proved it last night in their concert. I felt like I was a little girl again drooling over my favorite boyband. So yes. It was worth it. They sang a few of their new songs and the old time favorites. Of course, it wouldn't be a boyband concert if they didn't do their cool dance moves. WAAAHHHH!!! I love them!!!

To Kokoy, Isay and Ikay (and JONG!)...c'mon...admit it...Backstreetboys ARE BACKSTREETBOYS. They were sooo big that you even danced EVERYBODY in our Christmas party. You knew and still know their songs by heart. I bet you can even sing Quit Playin' Games with My Heart with me without looking at the lyrics. Haha!!! Everyone in my generation knows them and their songs...no matter how embarrassed they are to admit it to themselves.

It's funny and amazing though that BSB have all kinds of fans. They have the pretty girls (that's where I belong), the ugly girls I mean...c'mon..if there are pretty girls, there are ugly ones too..hahah kidding!!! So anyway, we were there in our seats. When 2 old Chinese couple came. They happen to sit beside us. They were older than my parents ah. Each of them had binoculars!!! Talk about prepared. Funny thing was when the lights went off, the fans started screaming and jumping, which meant that people were standing up..duh. When this happened, si Nanang at si Tatang ay kinalabit ang mga nagwawalang babae sa harap at pinatabi dahil di daw nila makita. Hahahahahahahahahahah!!!

It was an experience. Hang over!!! Yeahh...I'ma buy their Never Gone album!!!



Kokoy, you were great but the sound system didn't do your band justice!!!

Better be worth it!

EVERYBODY!!!!! ROCK YOUR BODY!!!! ooohhh yeah! Backstreet Boys here I come!!!!

My Love is AAAAALLLLLLLL I Have to Give

Backstreet's back alright! I'm sooo excited!!! Hahaha!! I'ma see Nick Carter..WAHHHH!!!!

Mama and Papa's Golden Anniversary

Enough about the paranormal blabbers... Party!!!

It was chaotic, yes. The day started completely wrong. We went to South Salon for our hair and make up instead of Robbie Clemente. It was a frikkin disaster. They're amateurs! Completely did it wrong, but we had no other choice. My gown was a mess. I looked totally fat, because yes...I blame myself for eating too much and sleeping too much. So I really didn't feel like posing for pictures. Hello. It's a celebration...photographers were everywhere stealing moments whenever they can. So my grand daughters will see me looking like that. Haha. In fact, all the things that weren't supposed to happen, happened. Mama forgot her bouquet so she walked down the isle with 2 daises, Jaja got sick and threw up while we were taking pictures in the Church (for everyone to see), and I got my period. Shit happens.

But even if those sort of shit happens, we went to the reception and Oasis was picture perfect. Mama and Papa posed for millions of pictures before they had their grand entrance. They were so cute together. Papa kept waving at people and Mama just had a smile on her face. After the embarrassing welcoming remarks Zaza and I did, was again, picture taking per table. When everyone was finally done, dinner. The food was G-R-E-A-T. Kumpleto! May salad, soup, seafood, pork, beef, sushi station, pasta, paella, chocolate fountain. Sarrrrap! But I don't think the Rivera's were able to fully enjoy the food because after dinner was our suprise number: song and dance. We practiced for 2 months. It was cool. And the audience loved it. So...I forgot that I looked fat and that I had my period (yeahh..). So for the rest of the night, we danced and just had a really fun time. Buti na lang naka sneakers kame (for our boogie)..our feet didn't hurt one bit. My crazy drunk Lolo was in the mood for some dancing and he was my partner...naubusan ako ng steps. Exagg!!! Sooo...pictures!

I woke up today with tears from my eyes...

I woke up at 230am with tears flowing down my face. I knew exactly what I had dreamed last night. I dreamed that I had died and I was 100% sure I wasn't dreaming. I really thought I was dead. I was in an explosion. For some reason, Ted was with me. We were together. I think it was some big event, probably like a concert because there were a lot of kids. First we were so happy and then BOOM! One big explosion from the right. It was soo far from us but it was really big and I felt that boom. Then people started to run. Ted and I ran to the left side. Then BOOM. Another explosion in the left side. It was very near and I was terrified. I knew somehow we're gonna get hit then BOOM! It was like slow motion. I saw the bomb (whatever it is) hit the ground and then I looked at everything around me knowing that was my last. For a few seconds, I felt my soul leave my body and it rose to the air. I saw my physical body get wiped out by the fire and all the people in it. As my soul watched the whole thing, it was screaming: "ayoko pa mamatay!!! ayoko pa mamatay!!!" Then really bright light took me.

Then the next part was I'm in my bed, wearing exactly what I was wearing when I went to sleep. It's like another OBE (out of body experience). I knew I was dead from the previous setting. So it's like my soul flew from that place to my bedroom and I looked down on my body. I really thought my physical body was lifeless but I wanted to live soo bad that I tried to position my soul exactly the way my physical body was positioned. But no matter what I did, my soul was separated from my body. I felt vibrations as I tried to do it. As I lay down, I looked at my right. I saw Zaza. She didn't even feel that I was struggling. Because I saw my body vibrate!!! Then I finally gave up. I thought of the people in my life and it pained me not having said what I wanted to say. I looked at my lifeless body and cried. A few minutes, I saw myself in another place.

I took a piss in some kind of public CR and what's weird was that I saw Ted again when I stood up. That's when I really thought I was dead because he was the only person I can recall who was in the explosion with me. I thought to myself that maybe common CR's in the afterlife were not unusual. I tried to catch him but he was gone when I opened the door. I looked around and the place felt familiar. I kept on walking in what seemed like an endless corridor. Finally got out and saw myself in DLSU's canteen, z2. Then I saw people. Some were familiar, some were not. I tried to look for Lui. My blockmate who died 2 years ago, but I didn't see him. I just kept on walking like I usually do in school but thoughts came into my head. I remembered my mom. Dad is in Indonesia right now so it would be double hard for my mom to know I'm dead..a few days before Mama and Papa's Golden Anniversary. Then in a split second, I was back in my room, looked at my lifeless body. I was contemplating on whether I'd visit my mom on her dream or not. Then I remembered the Golden Anniversary. It would be postponed. I'd be in a cauffin wearing the gown I was supposed to wear for the affair. Then I thought of my friends, my blockmates, my family. I began to cry. As I cried, I tried to position my soul back to my body. Then BOOM! I woke up with tears from my eyes. I woke up knowing exactly what happened, every tiny detail. I continued to cry for a few minutes. I thanked God for giving me a second chance at life.

I really think this is my 2nd life. Seriously...

Zzzzzzz...

I'm sleepy...so so sleepy...

Backstreetboys concert na!!! Woohoo...

Mama and Papa's Golden anniv first.. hayyy!!!

Zzzzzz...

Astig ang crowd ng Corik's!!! San ka pa?!

Kagabi, ang Sige Productions ay naging matagumpay...ata. Ang lineup namen kagabi ay sobrang ganda. Pinakamagandang lineup nga namen yun e. Isipin mo na lang: Shotgun Project (opening un siyempre), Salamin, Diana Rising, Out of Body Special at Severo. San ka pa?! Di ko pa narinig dati ang Salamin at OBS. Pero alam kong mahuhusay sila pareho. Pumeak ako sa OBS. Nagkaron ako ng out of body experience. Kakaiba. Salamin din. Napakagaling. Na-wow talaga ako sa mga tumugtog kagabi. Hayop!!!

Pero kakaibang gabi iyon. Di ko alam kung maiiyak ako or matutuwa. Sa katunayan, muntik na talaga akong umiyak pero parang gusto ko reng humalakhak sa buong pangyayari.

BAKET?!

Anong pinagd-drama ko dito?!

Mahusay ang mga banda, maraming tao, puno ang Corik's at siguradong malakas ang benta. Kaya lang...ang pumuno ng Corik's ehh mga tao ni Rico J. Puno. Mga lalaking nakakalbong may bigote at parang mga goons. Mga babaeng ang mga lipstick eh lumalampas sa bibig. Mga hindi pumapalakpak. Nandon si Tata Rico kagabi. Nabilib nga sa amen ulet eh. Kahet sa mga bandang tumugtog. Bilib na bilib talaga. Binuksan nga niya ang smoking area para marinig niya nang mabuti ang Salamin. Sinabi niya sa akin ng personal na sana daw maging regular silang tumugtog dun. Di niya naabutan ang OBS at Severo. Tiyak na sasabihin niya ren sa aken yun.

Hiyang hiya lang talaga ako sa mga bandang tumugtog. Mali eh. Baket ganon?! Unang beses silang tutugtog dun at yun ang madadatnan nila?!?! Namatay ako sa hiya. Hindi na ako masyadong nakipag usap sa kanila. Pero mababait. Tinawanan na lang nila ang buong sitwasyon. Ano pa nga ba ang dapat gawen di ba? Tayong mga Pilipino, hindi dapat masyadong sineseryoso ang mga ganyang bagay. Kaya nga humahaba ang buhay naten. Kaya nating tawanan ang mga sitwasyong katulad nun.

Sa hiya ko, nilibre ko na lang sila ng beer. Kahet hingi sila nang hingi, okay lang. Napa-order din ako ng Margarita. Kulang pa nga eh. Pero bagong taon, bagong buhay. Kalimutan na ang mapabayang pag-inom. So ayun ang mga pangyayari kagabi.

Akeng lang naman...sana sinabe ni Tata Rico na may mga panauhin siya. Para naman tulad ng dati, pinaghandaan namin ang lineup. Inulet sana namen ang oldies night...edi pati sila nag-enjoy. Diba?! Pero sino nga naman ako? Siyempre kung gusto niyang imbitahan ang mag kaibigan niya, pwede niyang gawen yun kung kelan niya gugustuhin. Oo na! Tama na. Ganyan talaga ang buhay. Hayy...

Habang tumutugtog ang Salamin...kita niyo si Manong?! Kintab ng ulo o! May pony tail pa. Astig talaga ang crowd ng Corik's!!! San ka pa?!

Ohmyged!!!

May pasok na bukas...NO!!!

I dunno if I'm up to go to school tomorrow or not... hayyy... I wanna see my friends though. My Yuchengco days are back. Tambay all day everyday. Haha...
___________________________

New Year..New Year!!! Do I make resolutions? Nahh... Not me. I never keep 'em anyway. I'm really happy for year 2005 though. I gained a lot of new experiences. Most of them are good and some, I dunno if it's bad. I also gained new friends, and I've kept my old friends...strengthened the relationships. Visited 2 countries that year, which was great. In the family, there was growth, I believe. Of course, there were also tragedies but I think it just made us stronger. I think I'm proud enough to say that I've become a better person the past year.
___________________________

I was in LTO the whole frikkin day today for my frikkin license. It drove me nuts. 2 guys tried to hit on me. WHY?!?!??! SA LTO?! Nak ng tinapay mehhhnnn... sa dinami dami ng lugar naman...LTO?! Urgh...

Other than that, I'm just relieved. Woohoo!!! I never want to go back there ever again!!!
I'll have my license hopefully on Friday. That means I'll be more "independent" this year. Haha!!!
___________________________

Yesterday was Zaza's birthday. That was one hella day. I thought I was gonna experience Divisoria for the first time, but we ended up in SM North Edsa. We went there with our little cousins. It gave me a headache. Who would have thought...I'll go back in SM North Edsa. I'm an SM Kid. I'm sure a lot of us were. It kinda made me happy going back to the department store looking at the shelves of shoes with a million other people while "Follow the Leader" played. It was chaotic. SM was SM and it took me back in time. It was chaotic but I guess it will always be. The good thing though was that the floor wasn't sticky anymore. Besides, I was with my cousins. It was fun.
____________________________

What's in store for me this year? I really dunno!!! I'm kinda excited. No expectations. I'll just let it unfold everyday. There'll be bad days but there'll be good days.
____________________________

The Goddesses are still on a rocky situation. It's kinda pissing me off. I mean...what the hell? Therine has really changed and I don't like it. Sure, change is part of life. We've all changed since high school. The shocker here is even Abby doesn't like the way Therine has changed. Because of the Therine-Toni fight, we can't go out as a group now. Well..we still do but Toni can't go if Therine would be going. But the thing is, since Therine doesn't go with us anyway, Toni was always there. We got her side of the story and we make jokes out of it but we don't hate Teng. We miss her too, so we planned a gimmick just for her. But the best that she could do was "thanks for the invite, enjoy." WTF?!?!?! Walang effort. Kaines!!! Grrr... I didn't even receive a Chritmas greeting from her. Shallow, I know. But we haven't seen each other for ages and she won't even greet me? I did greet her for the New Year's..and she replied. But I dunno what's up with her. So she said she'll invite us on her birthday 2 months from now...and parang pilit. Duhhh.. Kaines! Basta for now, I'll give her her space. Whatever. The prob is that space could be a really huge gap that would be difficult to fix. Ewan!
