thanks sa lahat ng nakaalala. tnx sa balloons. lalo na sa cake na walang pangalan ko. muntik pang ilagay "happy birthday obzite" buti nalang binago. hehe.. salamat tlga.
Before, birthdays are not really special for me (except that there's more food on the table and some friends would come over to eat). But I never felt anything magical. Parang ordinaryong araw lang pag birthday ko. But my 18th birthday was different. Grabe. When I woke up, I already felt this something.. Basta, I really can't explain the feeling, the atmosphere.. Then I went to my phone to check my messages. There were 26 messages na at 6 in the morning. Dun palang, medyo naiiyak na ako. Hehe. Tapos pinagluto ako ng lola ko ng pansit. My parents and my sisters called me from cavite (nasa manila nga pala ako nung fri, may pasok kasi..). Kinausap ako ng tatay ko. Sabi ko sa kanya hindi ako magpaparty kasi alam ko naman na wala sa budget. My dad told me that I really have to go to the hospital for a check-up. P5000 kasi ang halaga ng check-up ko sa puso. Instead of having a party, I'll use it there. So medyo malungkot ako. Pero ok lang naman sakin. Hehe. So I went to school at marami nanamang bumati sakin. Ang saya. On my way home, mark texted me, dumaan daw ako sa sm. At first, I was kinda hesitant kasi wala namang akong party. But still, I went. Nakita ko sila sa food court. Konti lang sila dun. I asked them where the others were. Sabi nila umuwi na. Then they asked mo to close my eyes. At that point, I knew they were up to something. Pero sabi nila joke lang. So hindi na ako umasa. But after a while, they asked me to put my head down, so I did. And when I looked up, they were all there (well, not all) with balloons and a cake. Tapos kumanta sila ng happy birthday. Take note: nasa food court kami ng sm ha. Everybody was looking. I didn't care. Ang saya ng feeling. Hehe. tapos kumain kami. tapos gumala. 3:30am na ako umuwi.
I thank God for the beauty of life. Maybe my 18th birthday was really special because I almost lost the chance of celebrating it. Mas naaapreciate ko ang mga birthdays kasi muntik na akong di makatungtong ng 18. Sabi nga ni mark, ito ang unang birthday ko sa pangalawang buhay ko. Actually, hindi ito pangalawang buhay lamang. I was spared countless times. That's why I'm so thankful. I thank God for my family who has always been there anuman ang mangyari. I thank God for my friends. I thank God for obzite. Super thankful tlga ako.
Sa inyong lahat, thanks for keeping my heart beating for the past 18 years of my existence..
And counting.
One love.
God bless you all.

Homeboy (as in ''kaibigan usap tayo..'') invited our organization (University of the Philippines Speech Communication Association or UP SPECA) to watch their taping of the show. When that news came to me I was kind of hesitant to join them but when they told me that the PBB Big Four would be there, I started to have second thoughts. Hehe. I really wanted to see Cass. And so I went. The ABS-CBN staff picked us up near UP (sushal diba? sinundo pa kami. Nadisappoint nga ako kasi akala ko si tito boy mismo ang susundo samin). When we came there, I realized that the studio wasn't really that big. It just took a little bit of camera magic (the right angle I mean) to make it look spacious. It wasn't that clean and either. Ang init pa nga e. Now I know how that showbiz industry looks in between takes. Grabe, yung episodes for one whole week ay isang araw lang shinoo-shoot. Tito Boy just changes his clothes after each episode. Before, I was wondering why the studio audience and the guests were not very lively as compared to the audience of Oprah. Kala ko kulang lang sila sa vitamins. Yun naman pala alas tres na ng madaling araw kasi natatapos ang shooting. Aba! Grabe naman. Nakakapagod talaga. Galit na galit pa yung floor manager pag hindi ka pumapalakpak. Nandidilat sila ng mata pag hindi pa namamaga ang kamay mo sa kakapalakpak. Gusto pa yatang talbugan yung beautiful eyes ko sa pandidilat. Well, anyway, I got to see Cass. She is so pretty. Tindi na! grabe talaga. Syempre I failed to hide the jologs side of me at nagpapaicure pa ako. I'll post it one time if I'd have the chance.. hehe..

Paul celebrated his birthday. It wasn't a typical birthday celebration. Ang saya talaga. Tindi na. That day seemed to be a portal that took us back to some 12 months ago. When we I entered his room, I saw pictures on the wall; it showed the most memorable days of our obzite lives: CAT, cheering, field trip (super taba ko talaga dati), retreat and just the normal day at school. On the other side of the wall, posted are pictures of everybody doing their usual stuff back then. I looked at the monitor of the pc, I saw karl waving at me (via webcam) For a moment, I felt I was going to cry (syempre chika lang..para lang mag mukang madrama ang post na ito..). Then I looked around. I saw everybody. I miss high school so much. But sadly, some things change. We don't have the same schedule; we don't go to the same school. Much has really changed. But I looked again. I noticed that there were food on the table, there was a videoke machine, there was a basketball court and I saw them, doing the same things we used to do back then. Much has really changed, but there are still things that are to stay forever.
Nagtanggal na kami ng Christmas tree nung isang araw. Ako pa nga ang naatasang magligpit ng maalikabok na mga palamuti mula sa mga dahon at sanga nito. Kasing tanda ko na itong punong ito.. which means, 16 years ago siya binila. Joke lang. 18 years ago pala. Nasilayan ko dati ito nung namumukadkad pa ito sa ginto at pulang palamuti. Depende sa tema. Dati kasi Blue and silver. Isang Pasko, native ang drama nung Christmas tree, gawa sa abaka lahat ng palamuti. Pero nung nakaraang taon, medyo simple lang ang punong hindi naawawala tuwing pagsapit ng Pasko. Wala kaming mga bagong palamuti at walang tema ang mga parol. Ganun talaga sigura ang life. Haay.. Pero ok lang yun. Kahit wala siyang masyadong ilaw, kahit wala siyang masyadong decorations, kahit simple lang at luma na ang Christmas tree naming kasing tanda ko na, ok lang. Basta ang alam ko, kahit ano mangyari, may pera man o wala, tuloy parin ang Pasko.

Hay naku, it's the first day of the year 2006. Last year was unbelievable. It was truly a year to be remembered for the rest of my life. Ano nga ba ang mga nangyrai sa buhay ko? Hmmm.. nagchampion ang obzite sa sportsfest, nagturo kami ng cheerdance routine, gumgraduate ako ng highschool, gumgraduate ako ng CAT as Executive officer, nanalo kami ng 5th place sa broadcasting sa RSPC, ako nagbasa ng class history ng obzite, first time ko magkablack eye, nakapasa ako sa UP, ateneo at lasal, nag enroll ako sa UP, best applicant and best performer ako sa inaplayan kong org sa UP,naipit ako sa pinto ng lrt, nagpalagay ako ng braces, nakapagpapicture kami sa tabi ni ate shawie, nakasalubong ko si tita glow, nagpabunot ako ng kilay, nagpakalbo ako at nagpa-tattoo, nagpa x-ray ako, tpos namamaga na pala ung puso ko dahil may butas pala at nahihirapan napala sha kasi hyperactive ako, tapos biniyak yung ribs ko tapos tinapalan yung butas sa puso tpos tinahi yung dibdib ko. Ngayon may pilat akong mahaba sa dibdib. Grabe dba? Ang wild. Ang exciting. Hehe. Thank God for another year.
Now that all the noise of New Year's Day has died down, let's all take time to ponder and reminisce everything that happened to us the past year. Let us remember how each moment made us laugh or cry.. These moments are vital to who we are now. Let's cherish the good times that yesterday brought and remember the lessons it taught us. The New Year is not just a celebration of another tomorrow ahead but also a celebration of what we have gone through and how we managed to survive. Let's thank God for we are truly blessed.

Last Dec. 22, we had our Christmas party! Super saya. Almost everybody came. Siguro mga 5-10 lang ang wala. It was really fun! Si manoy nag-dive pa para lang makuha yung talong sa talong-game na pinrepare nila. Hehe.Ang daming may gusto nung gift na binigay ko sa exchange gift. Kahit nga ako gusto kong may magregalo saking ng ganun. Mga 5:30am na ako nakauwi. Nagstroll pa kasi kami. Kung saan saan kami nakarating.Hehe..
Nung Thursday naman, 27 yata yun, Kick-off gala for the new year naman!(sushal diba? May ganun ganun pa!!)nagtagaytay kami. Mejo konti lang kami as compared sa attendance nung Christmas party. Pero ang saya parin. Kumain kami sa bulaluhan sa may taal. Tapos kung saan saan kaming gubat kami nagsuot. Ang dumi tuloy namin. Nasira pa yung lacoste kong shoes (worth 700 lang yun.. thanks to greenhills..hehe).Then we went to ryan’s resthouse there. Ang ganda talaga nung place. As usual picture taking effects kami dun. Ang saya. Tapos sinurprise naming si sir ruel. May atraso kasi kami sa kanya. Ayun. Saya talaga. Grabe na to!
One love.
