Baby Wallnut

I have this new friend, well, not a friend, actually I adopted her. I called her baby wallnut. She's just too cute that she (I know, SHE, because, for me she's a girl) makes my day always easy and brighter. My day's not complete without you, my baby. :) Okay, i'm being crazy again. haha


Isn't she adorable? Ahhh. cute cute.

Last hair treatment for me until september

It's been a month now since I'm wearing this new hairdo. Before Christmas, I had a hair treatment, hair coloring, hair spa, and hair cut. I had to chop my hair because split ends are everywhere. Color is light mahogany. The first week after the treatment, the color is very very striking. Some doesn't like it, i dont care coz i feel pretty wearing it. LOL So yea, here's the color:




Good thing I had this treatment before Christmas, I'm sure I'll be missing the ambiance of salons, the feeling of being pampered and all. Being pretty because of rebond and hair treatment, all those stuffs, I'll miss. Rebond, I'll have you on October. Can't wait! :)

What's up?

Wow! It's been a month since my last post. I wasn't really busy with work and social life. I was actually busy focusing with my personal stuffs.

Let me share what happened to me after Nov 24 :)

My Birthday passed without anything special. I celebrated it alone. Shopping for 2 pair of shoes at Celine, had diamond peel at Flawless, and had footspa plus pedicure at NuStyle Salon. I was contented then. I've been praying for a ME time and yea, I finally gave myself one, until my closest friends texted me and asked to chill out at Kai's crib. So there, even I had a very oily face, I still manange to went over my friend's place.

I grabbed some 20 pcs of Antonov Vodka from Puregold, Sr. Pedro's Lechong Manok and some chips. My closests friends got me cake from Contis. Thanks mga chong. :)

Sorry for the crappy pic, hehe. just had my diamond peel.

So after Birthday, we had a lots of holidays. Christmas, New Years, and there were tons of reunions, food, and booze everywhere! Naumay ako sa handaan. hehe

I was feeling happy closing year 2010. Hoping for best 2011! Love. Peace. Happiness. Bring it on, 2011! :)

Almost goodbye for 2010

So what now? I am so bored with my life. Nothing good is happening to me. I am getting a year older on Friday. What? Should I be celebrating or what? Arg! Are you kidding me? This year was a tough one! I mean, super! I got to think, life's been fuckin' me around. Life's been so much unfair. I couldn't stop thinking why am i dealing with all these shiz! What a lame excuse if somebody would tell me, i was just an instrument for someone to realize the beautiful things in life. Come on! Again, seriuosly? Are you fuckin kiddin me? 

Everything is wrong here. My relationships. O and R. Man, they're both gone. I could prolly say, i am atleast somewhat at peace now but not really happy or feeling blah. You know, just so-so. And who's to blame this? Well what can i do? Life is what you make it, bitch! Fine! 

Everyone's askin me to throw a party! Hell no! My mind's keep on shouting this. Why do i need to celebrate? Im not happy anymore. I mean, when was the last time i felt really happy? I can barely remember. This is the most awful year for me. I am wishing for a job abroad. So God help me please. I don't wanna live here anymore. I'm not liking whatever is happening to me. Actually there's nothing to like coz yea, there's nothing happening really. Love life's fucked up. Work is bullshit. Fam is i dont know, what should i call them, mia? Perhaps yea!

I feel like living in a world with no one. I am alone in here. I am alone in my goddamn world! So suck it up and yea, celebrate with me on Sat! Thanks! Btw, im turning 27 and being 26 is full of shit!

Give me some good vibes 2011! 

Eto yun e

Kung papalarin ka nga naman talaga. Ano bang malaking kasalanan ko sa mundo, bat ganto kahirap ang sitwasyon ko?

Madaming beses ko ng gustong mag-quit. Pero pano sila? Yung bills ko, sino magbabayad nun? Mailalabas ko pa ba ang pamilya ko kung gusgustuhin ko? Ang buhok ko? Mapaparebond ko pa ba, pag unti unti na syang bumalik sa tunay na kulot nya? Maaatim ko bang daan daanan nalang ang starbucks pag uhaw ako sa kape? Sa tuwing may emergency, may mahuhugot pa ba ako?

Kelangan ko lang tanggapin na trabaho nalang ang nagiging rason bakit ako gumigising sa umaga. Teka, haha. Tanga talaga. Sinabi ko na diba, kanina pa? Lahat ng rason bakit ko kelangan gumising at pagpatuloy tong shet na buhay nato. Kase marami nga akong responsibilidad na dapat gampanan, na wala namang aako nyan kundi ako lang.

Tangina mo! magisip isip ka! kung gusto mong magquit sa trabaho. Siguraduhin mong mabibigay mo parin mga luho na sinasanay mo sa katawang lupa mo. Kaya hoy! wag mong abusuhin! Magisip ka! Magmatapang ka kung kinakailangan! Hindi sa lahat ng oras, iintindihin ka ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Hindi sa lahat ng oras, may kaibigan kang anjan para sayo! Kung di ka nga naman talaga isang tanga at kalahati, magmamahal ka narin lang kase, bakit, bakit, bakit ba putangina hindi ko masabi kung anong gusto kong sabihin! Tangina mo ka!

Andami ko nanamang nguyngoy. Andaming pumapasok sa putanginang isip ko. Kelan matatapos to? Sana gabi na. Para matutulog nanaman. Onting luha lang, mapapagod lang naman ako kakahikbi, sabay makakatulog ng di inaasahan. Anjan naman pala si Pong. Tama! kausapin ko nalang ung pamangkin ko, may napapala pakong tunay na kaligayahan. Pero sandaling kaligayahan na hinihiram ko lang.

Sa lahat ng nangyari, wala naman akong sinisising iba kundi sarili ko. Masyado nyo akong minahal. Ano bang putanginang nakita nyo saken, bat sagadsagarang pagmamahal na ako mismo, hindi ko gugustuhing mawala kayo. Ang sakit pag nawala ung kinalakihan mo, kinasanayan mo, ung minahal mo na akala mo e tunay na pagibig na pakiramdam mo imposibleng mawala sa utak at puso mo hanggang sa mamatay ka. O etong, mahal mo siya. Period. Wag ka ng magtanong kung bakit, kase mas gugustuhin ko pang mamatay kung di ko siya makakasama habang buhay. Mas matindi un a? Putangina!

Ang sakit sakit na! Napaka selfish ko no? Ako dapat pinarurusahan sa bwakangshet na ginagawa ko sa inyo pareho. Ilang buwan na ba? Paulit ulit na pakiramdam. Drain na drain nako. Wala kayong idea anong hirap tong nararamdaman ko.

Isa pang tulog, makukuha ko na Iphone ko. Salamat may onteng saya nanaman akong mararamdaman. Malamang sa malamang aabot lang ng 3 minutes ang sayang un. E ako pa ba? E ano namang malay ko sa lecheng gadget na yan. Front lang sa mundo na may pinagkakaabalahan ako. Ayoko na!

Sana andito ka. Kunin mo na ko. Ialis mo nako dito. Umuwi na tayo. Wag na tayo bumalik sa mundo. Putangina! Puro ako kalokohan!

Yung seryoso?

I wish you were here. Iba pag andito ka. Isang sabi lang, halika nga. Mahal na mahal kita. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam. Sana maramdaman ko ulit yan. sana marinig ko ulit yan. Gusto kong makita ka. Ang sakit sakit na.

It's not the same without you

Vanilla Twilight
By: Owl City

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

I got a text from him, he sent me these lyrics of Vanilla Twilight song. I got teary eyed and started crying buckets in the bus. I know I may be that crazy to show how pathetic I am, crying myself out in that effin bus, but the hell with all the people there, I swear I wanna die that night. I miss him too much. Too much that I wanna screw everything up. Speaking to him using just my head, pleading and asking how we are gonna work things out. The weather was as bad as my emotions then finally the silence broke by his text again. Something worst happened, van, his motor, plus him. BOOM.

I was thinking about you suddenly a van hit me, my bike was messed up. I was thinking I should be dead by this time, but why in the hell I'm still alive? Should I be called lucky being alive?

That's what he said. I called him up immediately. I wanna scream! I wanna help him! I wanna move out and be with him. I WANT TO BE WITH HIM! I wanna live my life loving him!

Ahhhh! Too much emotions! This is making me insane. I need to smoke. Again. Fukc LIFE!
