Face Analyzer

Posted at 02:17 PM in Entertainment, Surveys, Photos | 10 comment(s)

I was treading the Tabulas Forums and I came upon a link.

I checked it out and here's what I've got.

First, I tried a solo picture taken 4 months ago using a webcam. And here's my face analysis.

face analysis 01

I think that analysis fits me well. I'm 100% South East Asian. And the personality profile fits me but not that much. Coz I'm a social butterfly. haha. And I like my archetype. Alpha Academic. Fits me. LOL

Then, I tried a picture taken 3 months ago (December). It has great lighting though.

face analysis 02

This one cranks me. Lol. I have no Chinese blood. Or do I have one? I'm not sure really but I don't think I have Chinese somewhere in my blood. I wish! I used that picture because my mom really loves that pic of me. Haha. But then, my archetype is white collar. Lol. Though I've been thinking about it, I don't really want to be the office-type girl.

Lastly, I tried another pic taken 3 months ago too. :) It was taken a few minutes after the 2nd one that I used. :D

face analysis 03

Lol. If I'm no Chinese, how much more Korean/Japanese. But then it's Beta Academic. Hmm. Come to think of it. This profile might suit me after all. Lol.

So, you notice that they yielded different results. I would have believed more if my results were consistent. But then, it's fun.

Shopping at ATC

Posted at 03:04 PM in Daily Ramblings | 8 comment(s)

Last Sunday, I with my parents and 2 girl sibs went to ATC. The original plan was for mama and papa to go see a movie while the 3 kids would shop around.

When we got there we all shopped! haha.

My mom bought lots of plain tops. There's a sale there at ATC or was it always sale there? LOL. Anyway, she bought lots of plain spandex tops. And then we went to the Coolman booth there and got some smoothies.

After that, I showed them inside Confetti. And boy, we started trying on pairs. In the end, my sister and I got ballet flats. Yey! I'm gonna post pics later of our loot finds coz I can't find the digiwire. lol.

So, after shopping it's already late. About 6:30 pm so they decided against watching a movie. We had dinner and then we shopped for a bit.

Thanks papa for paying for us. :D

Sometime earlier, I showed them inside Topshop and my parents stayed outside. Haha. They saw the prices and reassured them that I'm not gonna buy anything there. haha. Sayang!

Anyway, we had a great time there at ATC! Hope we could come back anytime soon.

Things we bought:

- denim pleated mini skirt
- 2 pairs of ballet flats
- countless plain spandex tops in different styles

Constantine

Posted at 03:23 PM in Personal, Entertainment, Daily Ramblings | 14 comment(s)

I had a date yesterday with a friend. He's an ex-bestfriend/ex-suitor. You don't wanna know what caused the drift. It was just horrible.

Anyway, it was the first time we dated. It was really awkward. I was really quiet. So not like me.

Anyway, he fetched me here at G-Unit Net Cafe and we had a long ride. LOL. 3 Jeepneys, 1 LRT, and 1 MRT. When we got to Glorietta I was already huffing and puffing. The LRT-MRT ride was good. I got to know how to get around MRT since I would need that knowledge later on. Ha!

We decided to watch Constantine. We went to G4 and reserved seats. The next showing would be 5:30 that afternoon. We have 2 hours to burn. So we roamed the place and stopped for breaks. We had an ice cream break. Yummy yummy icecream. The lady beside mine was slurping a huge ice cream scoop on an equally sized cone. LOL. Anyway, we got to SM then back to Glorietta. And then we went back to G4. Timezone! To tell you the truth, I'm not an arcade girl. Haha. So we just played there Air Hockey, Big Bessie, Jetski arcade game, and some Car Racing. After that, it was already 20 minutes before 5:30 pm.

We grabbed some food at Taters. We got the Dipped n Topped combo. Not sure of the name though. So we had 2 regular sized nachos with Salsa - Beef and Sour Cream - Bacon as dips. I chose the dips. :P And then 2 regular sized Iced tea. Yummy Iced tea. The Sour Cream and Bacon dip was great. But I like the Salsa and Beef combo better. So he got the Sour Cream - Bacon dipped nachos.

Constantine

We were at the cinema already and it's near showing time. So, Constantine was really a good movie. I've been quite speechless after watching that. It was really a Heaven - Earth - Hell story.

Keannu Reeves was great! My eyes were really glued to the movie screen. Keannu Reeves was totally hot! And Rachel Weisz was equally hot!

(Here's a synopsis of the movie taken from the official site.)

Anyway, to know more about the movie Constantine click here.

After we watched Constantine, we went to KFC for dinner. I wasn't really hungry but I had to order so I order the KFC Go-Go Sandwich which I usually order. We talked about the movie and we also had a conversation regarding Bill Gates and other matters.

After that it was time to go home. We rode the shuttle at the Park Square and minutes later we're here at G-Unit Net Cafe. :)

Sigh. It was really a great afternoon. :)

Boys and Chain Letters

Posted at 02:09 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 9 comment(s)

When I was in Grade 4, I received my first chain letter.

I should pass it to 7 people OR ELSE I would have badluck with guys for 7 years.

I passed the first one I received. It was rather fun. But then, I kept on receiving chain letters and I'm so tired of writing them and then passing them on. Plus, I've ran out of paper then. So I ignored them.

I never thought that those "consequences" would be true.

But then, come to think of it.

It's been already 7 years or more after I ignored chain letters and I must admit I've really had a bad luck with guys, if that's what you would call it.

Ever since, I've been really unlucky. The first guy who became my secret boyfriend cheated on me. I've never had a boyfriend after that. Then with all the suitors who either later on dissed me or dumped me, they've all been 'not-so-good'.

Boys and Chain Letters, are they really relative?

I surely hope not. Anyway, my '7 years of bad luck' would all be gone. *I hope!*

I've had so many misfortunes with guys that prolly when I see a chain letter I would pass it without prethinking. :P

Shopping Again!

Posted at 02:39 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 14 comment(s)

My mom and I went to SM Bicutan today. The original plan was for us to undergo waxing treatment and then, we'll look around for a present for Mailene's debut tomorrow. Actually, it's her birthday today. So, Happy Birthday, Mailene!

So first thing we did was look around for a present. Well, we actually window shopped a bit. My mom was eyeing this lovely pair of shoes with a matching bag. Lol the two prolly costs around P2,000. Anyway, that's not too much, I guess but it's still expensive. haha.

Anyway, we already bought a gift. (it's really a beautiful shirt!) So, we still had lots of time so we decided that I have a photo shoot. Half body, whole body, and close-up! :) It turned out not that good. My smile was crappy lol. I'll post the picture later since the scanner is still in use by another person. HA!

So, after the photo shoot we went to LET'S FACE IT to undergo treatment, specifically, waxing. It didn't hurt much. It doesn't hurt at all. Plucking would hurt more.

After that we ate lunch and then we shopped again. Lol. I bought 2 new tops! Yay! I'll post pictures of them later coz the USB wire for the digicam is still missing. I think my dad lost it. OH NO!

I told my mom that I'll pay her for those since she used her money. Haha. So I bought 2 tops with my own money. It's SALE there so I bought a pink top for about P300 and another black and pink top for P220. Yay! So worth the money. It looks good on me. Haha. Well, that what my mom said. Anyway, I hate it when I try an outfit and salesladies were peeping. They would do anything to see me naked. LOL Just kidding! It a bit true, you see when I was trying on this outfit (at the fitting room) and the curtain was a bit open, I could see them in the mirror that they're looking. Ha! And then I blurted out, "Excuse me." And then sometimes those salesladies would say good things, sometimes they say nasty things. I wouldn't buy another item on that store. I refuse to name the store. Here's a conversation:

Saleslady: (to my mama) Ma'm ilang taon na po anak nyo?
Mama: 17.
Saleslady: 17 ka lang?!
(I was aghast! I don't look that old!)
Mama: Bakit?
Saleslady: Hm. Wala lang. Kasi matangkad sya and kung kumilos sya parang dalaga na.
(I was thinking, well, that's because I have manners, miss. You just don't go around saying that. It's so unethical.)


Anyway, after that when we were paying, she said another thing again:

Saleslady: Ma'm, bunso nyo?
Mama: (totally shocked) No!
Mama: di na nga ako bibili dito. Ibig sabihin non mukha na kong matanda.
(Me: Well, miss, my mom looks so young for her age, and to mistook me as her bunso is well, an insult, and you told me that I was mature looking too.)
Saleslady: Eh kasi para syang bunso eh. Close pa kayo.
(Me: what a lady! She prolly thinks that I'm a brat for I was shopping and she saw me carrying shopping bags on one hand and a smoothie on the other with my mom by my side.)


Haha. You probably won't understand much of the conversation. I doubt if you would understand the way women think too! haha. But you see, no one should ever tell a girl anything bad about her. It's just not right. You can tell her things if she's a friend or someone close to you. But you can never ever tell a stranger that she looks old or she looks ugly. It's just not right!

Mailene's Debut

Posted at 08:01 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 8 comment(s)

Last Saturday, I went to Cavite to attend my grade school bestfriend's debut. I couldn't miss this chance to witness this special event in her life. Besides, this would be the first we'll meet again after 6 years.

Mailene, my friend, invited me there weeks before the said party. I think it was months before. Anyway, I was wondering how to get there since this would be my first time to commute there. I asked a lot of friends for directions. Good thing they gave clear ones, so I was able to understand it. :)

So on Saturday, I packed my bags since we planned that I'll sleep over there. I packed everything essential. I even brought our digicam but unfortunately, it won't work there so there are no pictures that night. By 4:30 pm, I was on my way. I rode a jeep and it took me outside our village. Another jeep to Jollibee Lopez (in BF). Another jeep to Southland. Another jeep to Lozada Market. Another jeep to Camella Homes. Lastly, a tricycle that took me to the house. :)

I arrived there by 6:30 pm. 2 hours of commuting. Ack! The last jeepney ride was the longest one. Actually, I spent only about Php35 on my ride to my house to their house. Cheap, huh? But then I took PUJs so it's really cheap. I was really afraid on my way to Mailene's house. It's my first time to commute to a faraway place. Good thing nothing bad happened. :)

When I arrived there, the place was already set up but there were only a few guests. I went inside the house and there were several guests there. Haha. Mai's mom didn't recognize me at first. But after some talks and catching up, I went in Mai's bedroom. She was just getting ready. She was really panicky coz things weren't as she planned. Haha. There were a lot texting her that they can't come to the party. Anyway, I changed attire. I wore that night a pink top I bought at Petit Monde last wednesday. Anyway, it was a cute top, really, and it accents a woman's breast. Haha. It's a conservative top but it hugs your body like a 2nd skin. :) It has a ruched front. So I wore with that top a denim pleated mini skirt. I wore my white strappy high heels. Gimik outfit!

Anyway, Mailene wore this black tube assymetrical dress and with a pink and violet striped halter wraparound. :) Mailene looked really pretty. As usual. Ya know we have the same tastes. Haha. After 30 minutes, she was ready and some of my old friends arrived too. I went out her room and then we were asked to eat dinner already. The food was yummy. I especially liked the meat roll there with this sour cream dressing. So yummy! I ate little actually. Wasn't that hungry anyway. I met my elementary friends again. Erika, Dennylaine.

And then the most anticipated line was said, "Jean, ikaw na ba yan?" I can't help but laugh coz I remember the bet I had with Mariah. She bet that someone would say that to me. Haha. I'll tell you what I look like back then. I was really skinny, and so darkskinned. With very very straight beautiful hair. Haha. But now, I'm so much fairer than I was. And yes, I've got curves now. Yeah, baby!

Anyway, we had an early dinner. I was hungry from a long trip. But fun prevented me from eating more. Haha. And besides, I'm a lady! And I won't want my stomach to be uber bloated. LOL Anyway, I met Dennylaine's cousins. They were all so tall. Gosh. I wish I was taller. :(

Anyway, the party started. I was one of the 18 candles. I prevented myself from crying. I don't wanna cry, heck! But then, I gave a short cheesy message and I was off. Haha. I so wanted to say more but I guess I was so shy in front coz I barely know everyone. Anyway, I was just so quiet and so so timid. SO NOT ME!

The party started with a prayer, then a couple sung "The Prayer" by Bocelli and Dion. :) It wasn't sung very well. *sigh* After that, some of Mailene's close friends gave messages. Then surprise, Mailene is part of a band! She's the vocalist, together with another girl. LOL I never thought that she's that good in singing. After all, she never joined any contests back then. I remember only me and Arjay joins contests. Haha. Anyway, after about 3 to 4 songs, the 18 candles thing began. Gosh, the 18 roses part was so mushy and sweet. Mostly they were Mailene's exes. Gosh, she really had cute boyfriends. Haha. *Inggit! Anyway, I remember Hernel Joseph Matias. <-- Full name! I won't ever forget him. He's our crush in UPHR. In fact, he was Mailene's first boyfriend. Sigh. I always knew then that they would have a relationship. That's because I left! :) LOL. I wouldn't have that chance with Hernel, anyway. As if. Besides, exes of friends are not my thing. So a lot of guys have been crossed off my list already. LOL. As if there's a list! x_X

So I met my old friends again. I was just so happy and glad. Anyway, I attracted a lot of attention there. I wonder why. Maybe because I was a new face. And besides, you all know how a city girl is treated in the provinces right? City girls attracts a lot of attention. Anyway, I was just so happy. I have a lot of new friends now! But most of all, I met a lot of gorgeous guys!

Jon is Dennylaine's cousin. He's 17 years old and he tried out in the UP Diliman Basketball varsity. Just like what Paulo Castro, my friend, did. Jon got accepted. He's a great basketball player. And Mailene said that he's courting her. Anyway, Jon was the first guy there that I had a long conversation with. We talked about a lot of things but then the conversation was cut short coz they had to go home!

Next, I was introduced to Mailene's Highschool Friends. I think the other guy's name is Arjay. Yeah, he's this tall, fair skinned guy. Anyway, we didn't have a long conversation coz I went to the girls.

Btw, most guys were already around the table by that time. Inuman sessions. [drinking sessions] sigh.

Anyway, after chatting with the other girls, I was again introduced to another group. This time, it's composed of Ate Miemie's friends. Ate Miemie is Mailene's sister. Anyway, I was introduced to John, the vocalist. :) He's a cool guy. Rakista! We have the same taste in music. Haha. I stayed in their table the whole night.

After they left, I stayed inside for a while and then I heard that Mailene got drunk. So I rushed outside. Everyone was taunting her. They were teasing her. They were playing with her. Haha.

Mailene was funny while she was drunk, not that she isn't funny, but she said comical things. She said a lot of crazy things that I dare not mention everything here. LOL

Anyway, I met a lot of guys again that night. Haha. I think I had quite a handful. LOL Anyway, we slept in this storage room in their garage. It was so cold there and it was so fun!

I can say that it's one of the best parties I've been to. Even though it rained it's still a great one! I had so much fun that night! :)

No pics this time coz the digicam wasn't working. Aww. :(

Busy Week

Posted at 07:47 PM in Daily Ramblings, Fashion | 10 comment(s)

This week has been uber busy. Since Sunday, I've been in front of the computer encoding, coding, spreadsheeting, wordprocessing, designing, and managing.

 Yesterday was the busiest ever. From 9 am up to 12 midnight, I was busy encoding and making projects for others. Yesterday, I was typing the whole day. My eyes were strained, my fingers were like murdered, and my butt was uber aching from sitting!

Yesterday, I made powerpoint shows too! Bwahaha. I made it as a special project for a customer. Of course, it was paid. Everything I do here is paid. :P

 I've just closed the deal with RGA Resources Inc. I'm now 3K richer! Haha. LOL.

 Been doing nothing lately. Sigh. Here are some pictures.

#1 on Hate List - Xenxa Na Pow AH

Posted at 09:56 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 47 comment(s)

Wanna know what really pisses me off?

 The people who use shortcuts when typing online. Hello! This is the online world! You are not paying P1 per message sent here so why not make use of the cheap ISP here? I do understand that when you text or SMS you need to use shortcuts because every character counts, but online, why do the same?

 All those who spell "ako" with "aq" or "aqo", or "ko" with "q" or just simply substituting "q" for "k", I hate you! Those who use "me" instead of "ako", "us" instead of "kami", "senxa" or "xenxa" for "pasensya", or "xe" or "kxe" for "kasi", and a lot more alterations/distortions in the English and Filipino languages, I hate you all!

Please don't make it hard for us to read what you have written online. Believe me, it doesn't make you look cute at all!

 ThOsE wHo TyPe LyK diS, I hAtE yoU toO! Isn't it harder if you alternately press "shift" while typing? Isn't it much better if you make your texts less decorative and less fancy-looking? It doesn't make you cute! So STOP IT! Quit the Sticky Caps craze. It's not even IN!

It doesn't make you cute! It makes you look worse than a trying hard conyo or taglish speaking Chav in Starbucks or Figaro.

Please, pwede lang poh bah? Ayqo xe ng nkkbsa ng mga gan2ng klaxng mexages s nbox koh eh! Pwede lng pow bah? Pwede poh ba na tigilan na ang gan2ng kabaliwan? Xe, lam nyo na, di talaga bagay! Taena, di q tlga matake itech!

It really sickens me. I get this queer sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear someone speak or see someone write like that. It's horrible. It's worse than my worst nightmares!

Sorry to those affected. I just can't help it. I need to voice this out! I want my opinion to be heard. Just imagine if everyone speaks like that! From the Holy Pope John Paul II to your youngest sibling. Just imagine, oh no! It would be Hell!

Please, I would really be grateful to wake up one sunny morning, 20 years from now, and still be speaking the same old English and Filipino I know and not the shortcut cheap version of it. It's a disgrace to our language. I know, truth hurts. So wake up and stop using the shortcut version when you can speak and write in a much better way.

To a Party Again

Posted at 12:19 AM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 6 comment(s)

Last night, I was fetched here in G-Unit Net Cafe by 3 Grade School friends. I was really surprised. I wasn't expecting them to visit me. Turns out that there's a small get-together at Michael Bacoto's house.

Michael Bacoto is now the boyfriend of Erica Sarmiento. Anyway, they look good together. ;)

And so I was forced to go there! Would you believe I went there in my house clothes? I was wearing a blue semi off shoulder top and a blue summer-y skirt with flip flops. I look horrible!

Anyway, I only a few friends were there. I was the only one from Turquoise there. Ah, wait, Robin's there too. He doesn't remember me anymore. Tsk tsk.

There was a drinking session. And yes, I took a shot. :P Half a bottle of San Mig Light. I don't wanna comment on how it tastes like. :P

People who were there: Moriel, Jomel, Michael, Roberto, Angeline, Erica, Maykuh, Robin, and me.

Moriel, Jomel, and I went home at around 10. The others stayed of course.

I got a really really sore throat. It hurts. I think I got tonsilitis. *pleads* No!

I Am Claustrophobic.

Posted at 11:42 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings, Photos | 19 comment(s)

It's proven. I am, indeed, claustrophobic.

Here's what happened this morning: It's Palm Sunday so my family and I went to church. We were actually a little late coz the mass started early. During the Gospel reading, my stomach was already hurting. Then my world started to spin. I told my mom what I was feeling so I leaned on her for support. When the Homily began, I couldn't take it anymore. I was really having a hard time breathing. My world started turning black. My mom asked me to kneel on the pew, and I did. It made me just feel worse. And then when I was about to fall on the floor, I can feel her dragging me outside the church. It was really dragging. I couldn't remember that I was walking. My skin turned blue, as my mom said. She used a fan to help me cool. I couldn't really breathe. When I felt a bit okay, my mom left me and my brother brought a bottle of water. I couldn't even open the bottle! I was that weak! My sister and brother accompanied me outside the church. We were sitting on one of the benches there. I was so embarrassed. Everyone was looking at me. Anyway, my sibs told me that someone also fainted. Poor girl. She fell to the floor. :(

Good thing I got well fast enough to receive the Holy Communion. And then, I was too weak to walk straight. *sigh*

This isn't the first time that this happened. I've had several fainting spells inside the church. Reason: it's crowded and it's hot!

So, I'm really claustrophobic. :(

Anyway, when I got here at the shop, I took the chance to take some webcam shots again. :D Here's me with my sister, Trisha. :D

So I Put On My Makeup...

Posted at 12:00 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 27 comment(s)

...put a smile on my face and if anyone ask me everything is ok i'm laughing cuz no one knows the joke is on me cuz i'm dying inside with my pride and a smile on my face.

I should have known better.

Life isn't all too perfect.

What I thought was good, isn't that good after all.

There's always something that gets in the way.

Who would believe that a SO HAPPY ENTRY would be succeeded by a SO SAD ENTRY?

"You never know anyone online. You don't even know people offline."

I believe in courting.

I love a person unconditionally.

It's not easy (thing to do) sometimes it's hard to (face the truth) it's not the life that I would choose but what else can I do if he don't love me no if he don't want me I'm not about to sit around let myself go...

Reminiscent

Posted at 02:44 PM in Personal, Daily Ramblings | 17 comment(s)

Do you know why I like The Used? It's because of David.

I'm gonna tell you a little story on how I first met him.

He's the cousin of a friend/ex-suitor of mine. No, not actually a cousin. David is the uncle of Migz, my friend/ex-suitor. Well, I thought he was a cousin coz he looks really young. He's 22. He came from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Well, he's a Filipino. That makes him a Fil-Am then. He came here to study Nursing. He was taking Surgery Medicine I think at a University there but it was too expensive. And since the education here in the Philippines is way cheaper than in the USA, he decided to study here. Those are some random basic facts about him.

When he moved to the house beside G-Unit Net Cafe, we really became close. Feel free to browse my archives, I have a lot of entries about him there. I also have pictures there. Anyway, he became close to me and my mom. He would tell us things about his life. It was always a pleasure for me to hear stories about his life. He confided in us some of his secrets. He really earned me and my mom's trust. I think I was the first girl he dated here. Well, it was just one date. It wasn't followed.

He likes rock music. You could tell that most of my Rock Collection here came from him. We would listen to The Used, Yellowcard, Saves the Day, Thursday, Hawthorne Heights, A.F.I., and other bands all day long! I learned to appreciate rock music through him. Before, rock didn't appeal to me. I didn't know anything about emo, punk, hard, and other types of rock back then. I learned slowly through him. He would tell me things about this band and I would just listen to him. After a while, I would extract the cd and then add it to my growing collection of rock music. You see, after that, I started to play those songs day after day. I was getting used to it. He has this thick black case that is full of CDs. Mostly rock but there's a little rap.

He wanted to study Nursing here. I told him that entrance exams for school year 2005-2006 in UP and UST has already been administered. He wanted a school near his home, there was Olivarez College, he didn't like it there. He heard mortifying stories about the school. For the meantime, he got into boxing. He trains at the gym everday. He's really good at sparring. :D One night, he came home with a Boxer's Fracture. I'm not sure if that's the medical term but that's what I can remember. I helped in healing it. I massage his hands for 2 nights. And then after a while, it was completely healed. He stopped boxing and didn't continue. Instead, he applied for a job at a call center. He really needs the money, that's why. So I made his resume and then he passed it. He's fluent in English so he passed the tests easily. The training wasn't really hard for him. The hard part was actually memorizing this thick manual where all product information are written.

He just retired his work there at the call center since he wanted to study this June. He already had a school in mind. I forgot the name but it's somewhere near here. And it's a new school. He's gonna study there now.

Ok, on his girls now. After me, there was Manie, then there was Meanne, then there was April(?), then another April (I don't know if it's the same person but I think they're different), then his current gf. A lot eh?

The last and current one was the only girl that became his girlfriend. The girl is about 5'2", slim, simple, has a car, and stays almost every night at his house. My mom thinks that they sleep together, but of course! What else would they do there every night? :P

So why this post? He came in here 30 minutes ago to rent a computer. He was with his girlfriend and he's showing her The Used. I taught him how to use Launch! at Yahoo! :P

I just just reminiscent of the happy times. :D

Half A Day With Another Family

Posted at 05:26 PM in Daily Ramblings | 20 comment(s)

I slept just around 6 am today. I haven't slept a wink last night. I was busy downloading mp3s at Limewire. Am I enjoying it too much? Nah. Other than that, I was also chatting and posting at forums. Anyway, my dad and I went home around 5:30 am so I slept around 6 am. My mom woke me up around 11 am saying that there's someone out there who needs my help (technical stuff).

I was really feeling grouchy. It's the 2nd day of my period and I don't feel like getting up. Anywya, I was half-forced by my mom. Half was myself forcing myself. I need to get up and start working! Since the people who need my help are already outside the house in a car, I just changed my clothes and brushed my teeth. I look really dirty, literally. I was really in a hurry so I just grabbed the bag that I was using yesterday. It contains my stuff. :P

I hopped in the car with my mom and we went to the next village. While in the car, my parents and the couple, Tito Manny and Tita Olive, were already chitchatting. That continued until we arrived at their house. I was amazed when I saw their house. It was average-sized, a little messy (coz they're cleaning up), and they have more than 6 cars! That doesn't include their motorbikes. Well, I was in awe. Anyway, we went inside and they have a comfy house. They were very warm hosts. Anyway, we got down to business ASAP because we need to finish and wrap it all up by 5 pm.

They are part of a married couples organization. It's Pag-ibig something. I forgot the name. It's really much like Couples for Christ. They have their marriage encounter there and tonight is their time to share their life story. They have to tell their whole group their life story, from facts about them to how they met to their present situation. They showed me their speech and it was 11 pages. Really long. Now that 11 pages was what I need to edit. I checked the spelling, the grammar, and typed other things that came up in their minds. I also helped them in making some paragraphs. Helped them in wording too. It was a great experience. It's an easy job.

They even served us lunch. :-D They also gave me a goodie bag. Apples and chocolates. Nice!

I was just there sitting, typing in their Compaq laptop, eating some chocolates, and with the aircon on, I felt like I was in heaven. LOL

I also set up their printer and some other stuff. Anyway, the printer wasn't working. I don't know why. It takes a while to print. So instead, we headed to a computer shop and had it printed.

After that, I was asked to be chauffered home. Before that, they asked me what my price is. I just said that they can give any amount that they are willing to give. Tita Olive went inside her room and came out with P1000 bucks. I refused and said that it was too much. IT IS. I was like doing nothing there. :P But then she insisted. And so I accepted with a thank you and a smile! Beso-beso and a hug. Seconds later, I'm in their car being driven home. :-D They're just so kind. I would so love to work with them again. ;-)



Since I'm kinda perky tonight, time for a shout out!

Gel: It's been really great to talk to you on the phone. Have a safe trip! Are you still having the trip?

Marlon: I hope you arrived safely at your new home. God bless! I'll be attending your farewell party. :)

Reggie: Yes, this is you. As you requested. :P Hello to the biggest Karel Marquez fan. :P

Willie: Take care of yourself, ahia! If there's another nose bleed incident, I'll go with you to the doctor. :P

Mailene: Miss you girl!

Ria: Yes, you're alive! :P

Rizzie: When the eggs hatch let me know, okay?

Tropang Pauso: Let's go gimik this summer! Please?

Nicole: Yes, it's you, Natasha! :P I want a Powerbook G4 now. :P NOT! It's still a cellphone I'm wishing for. Anyway, wishing you the best so that you'll have your U2 Ipod. ;-)

and since I still have 769 people to greet, I need to cut this short. A BIG shoutout to all! Yes, that includes you, stalker! and you, music_html freaks!

P.S. I went to their house without taking a bath. They couldn't wait for half an hour right? :P I took a bath as soon as I got home. :P

Currently listening to: my mom saying "Closing Time na!"

Double Celebration

Posted at 11:03 PM in Daily Ramblings, Photos | 54 comment(s)

Today is Mikey's 15th bday!

Happy Birthday, bro!

Today's also the Recognition Day of my sister, Trisha. She got 4th honors and the exemplary conduct award. (How come I never got that award?)

Anyway, the day was pretty boring even during the Recognition Ceremony. It was just so boring. And the heat was totally unbearable.

After the Recognition Ceremony, papa, Mikey, Ttrisha and I went SM Bicutan. We went to buy Chuck Taylors for Mikey. He chose the simple Black Hi-cut Chuck Taylor. I wanted the pink one. X_x

But I couldn't buy one, I paid for my brother's shoes. I'll buy one next time. *I hope!* I also want the flip flops I saw there. I'm saving up for havaianas. :P

Here are some pictures. My mom saw my sister and I camwhoring, so she joined! O_o

This is me and Trisha.
