My Life... Is Way Overrated.

Hmmm... Seemingly fitted title eh? Geez. I'm bored. Can someone just sprung out from out of nowhere and change the way I'm living please??... Yep. This is it. Another lame post. Hello to anyone who'll ever read this. Read at your own risk? Yeah whatev... I'm done with sh!tty intros. :P

So... As per my request... I really do hope someone can change my life. Well, I can change it on my own yes... But, that wouldn't much of a story would it?.. Haha. Let's try to look at some of my favorite literary pieces.. I'm not the classic type, so no I refuse to call my list boring. I'm not saying that classic lits are indeed boring... I just, I find them... Mind-numbing. So yeah it's just me... Don't go harsh on my opinion sweetums.. Why am I even explaining?!.. Guilty much. Ha! I did try to read classic literature... Geez... Always fall asleep on the first page. :P

1. Always first on my list.. Harry Potter. Uh..? Need I say why?.. Please it is my childhood. So no I'm not actually explaining. You know how the story starts... If not, then I suggest you get lost. Haha. Well Hagrid came to Harry's life and announced that: "Yer a wizard 'arry." From there the life of an eleven-year old ordinary boy... Had been filled with magic he never knew existed. Harry's life changes completely.

2. Fifty Shades Series. Oh the obsession. The mighty fine love story of Mr. Grey and Miss Steele. Can you just imagine if Anastasia didn't stumble down on Christian's office? If they never met? Where would the pleasurable desires be?.. They have changed each other life... In so many different ways... And that's what I love about this series... The depth of their story. Its not just about the kinky-fuckery... A good reader looks beyond that.. And yes, I am a good reader. This is one of the best love stories ever written that I've read... Not that I read tons anyways. :P So yeah, one day they met unexpectedly and it changed their life... Forever.

3. Vampire Diaries and True Blood. Oh well... Vampires are the creatures I'd never dreamt to dealt with. I never liked them. Until Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) and Eric Northman (Alexander Skaarsgard) happened. I love these two vamp TV series to bits because of those two hot actors. Okay, hot is an understatement. And my mind is currently not functioning too well to think of any other words to suit them both so that will do. Well, Elena's life changed when she met the Salvatore brothers.. Sookie's life stirs up when she met Bill and when she got smitten with Eric... Oh talk about complicated!

4. Fushigi Yuugi... If Miyaka didn't read the book that brought her and her best friend to some other world then she wouldn't met Tamahome... Her life will be... A plain and ordinary one.

5. Devil Beside You. If Qi Yue didn't mistaken Ahmon as her crush... She will end up with a different lover. But what strikes me the most is the part where Ahmon told Qi Yue that even if he hadn't mistaken her they would still meet maybe in the cinema or anywhere else... But they will definitely meet because they are destined to be together.

6. Meteor Garden/Hanayori Dango/Boys Over Flower... Hell yeah. I got hooked with that... Can you just imagine if Shan Cai didn't stood up against F4..? Where would the story be?

Oh my list could go endless! My point is... Can I just meet that someone already?!.. I know.. He's busy in London performing a lead role in a stage play called The Cripple of Inishmaan. Okay.. Great. My mood is busted.

Change. The only thing that's constant. Big word huh?.. As I go on with this list... I realized I've been waiting for that someone  for a very long time already... I'm a sucker for this life. Ugh. Can I just die?.. Hahaha. Just two days ago I found myself thanking God for not giving me a suicidal tendencies. Sheesh. Maybe I'll be dead by now... :P Then tonight the "life event" tab on Facebook got me wondering.... Why didn't they include Death?.. Pft. Hahahaha. I know. Crazy right?.. I actually checked it out... It is a life event.. Isn't it?.. Hahahaha. This is going nowhere.. I wanna sleep. Goodnight. 

Erratic Rave

I feel like my 2013 is wearing out too fast... July's about to end! How is this possible?!.. My life had been.. A little bit disoriented over the past months. Hahaha! Sometimes, I don't really know what to do about it... It's quite a good thing I don't have suicidal tendencies. Pft. Hahahaha.






July, July... It's always been my least favorite month... Oh don't ask me why... I don't know either. Haha. Yeah just one of those freaking "me" things... I feel like my heart rode a roller coaster this month... One moment I'm in seventh heaven and next thing I'm in the hidey-hole of blue devils. It's exasperating.






Geez. I'm bored. I don't even know what to talk about. I'm a very private person you know? I don't quite share my raw feeling... To anyone. Yes. I always hold it back... But can you blame me?... It's hard to be real nowadays... People prefer fakes. The society requires a certain degree on faking up yourself. That's why I hate people. :)) I'm sorry no offense meant. Okay let's rephrase that... I hate muggles. I'm a witch y'know?.. Hahaha!






I wanna make this light. I'm dealing with enough hell-raising occurrences already. And I don't quite wanna talk, think and elaborate about them right now.






So what's exactly is there to talk about?.. Honestly? I can't think of anything.. I just wanna do this post.. Uncertain of whatever it is that might slip in my thoughts...






Where am I?.. Haha. In my fave place... Not in my room though. Great. I'm talking nonsense here.. Oh well.. I always do... I mean no! Of corse I'm anything but nonsense. Tch. Whoever disagrees can die now thank you very much.








Then all of you just died. Hahaha. Sesh. Such a cray-cray thing. I need to find something productive to do... Ciao.

Daniel Radcliffe's Birthday

July 23, 2013

Tuesday

It's my love's 24th birth day! Haha! Sesh. I've loved him ever since he was twelve years old... I was nine then... I've been loving him for more than half of my life! He's my only "love at first sight"... Hahaha. Well I was beguiled with the magic that he had on the big screen as the famous boy wizard Harry Potter... Ever since then... He'd become a part of me. I might not know him personally yet.. But I've known him beyond his fame and the characters that he played. He's way more than a great actor for me. He's so much more than how other people sees him. He's the one I'll always choose, the one I'll be willing to fall for, the one who, without second thoughts will I be willing to lose my all with. He's the only one I want. ❤

Don't tell me it's nonsense, impossible and beyond irrational. I knew that already. I don't need anyone else telling me. Call me crazy and I'll take that as a compliment. I love him; and love moves mountain. I firmly believe that we're destined to be together. Our names says it all. *wink*

I'll be his Mrs. Radcliffe... We'll make London and Manila a neighboring cities... How..? Well, we'll figure that out on or own. :P And we'll have to... Sooner rather than later. He wants kids when he turns 30! My goodness gracious me.. I don't even know if I can be a great mom... I mean.. I'm still a baby.. And I don't even know how to take care of myself... How on earth would I take care of a baby?!.. Oh mind you.. He wants babies! Haha. Well.. That'll be six years from now... Not bad huh?.. And I'm pretty sure he'll be a great dad. So, I don't know.... Why are we talking about my future family?!.. Sesh. I'm totally losing it. Hahaha.

There had been rumors about him kissing his co-star at a party... Well, rumors about him hurts me every time... But I don't quite care whoever else it is that he kisses. So as long as he's mine to keep. Pressured much. I need to see him. I need him to love me as much as I love him. Hahaha.

Happy birthday Dan! I love you to bits and pieces, to hell and back and even to to the heavens up above. ❤

Retreat Message

Howdy my dearest blog! After a loooong writer's block.. Here I am making a post... Well according to my title this is a retreat message... When you do message of course you addressed it to someone... Like a letter... Right?.. So, this one is for someone I met just recently but is already occupying a big space in my heart... I don't know why.. But he is so special to me... :") Yep. He. And no.. We're not romantically inclined (ehem.. madami kasing chismosa sa mundo, inunahan ko lang. haha!) He's my lovebabe's cousin... Which makes him my baby... Okay.. Well, I don't really know where the "baby" thing came from... It just happened... He called me baby and I called him baby. And taadaa!! He's my Baby Tommy ^_^ just mine. Not sharing! I told him I'll kill anyone who'll call him baby or whom he'll call baby... I'm possessive like that. And I'm not kidding. O_o

Retreat Message turned into threat message?!.. Hahaha!! Well, I've told him a lot already... Those mushy retreat messages were sent directly in his cp's inbox while he's asleep... Maybe he'll read this after his retreat already... If he'll ever read it anyway... I mean I'm not expecting him to read this long, boring, nonsensical post... But I'll hate him if he won't read this.. >_< Psh. Hahahaha. Kidding. Well this is a first... I mean I don't have anyone to greet "happy retreat" nowadays... And I haven't post a blog about my other guy friends.. Not that I have a lot of friends anyways... But, the post about my guy best friend is not yet done and this is the first time I'll post a blog for a guy. To sum it all up?.. I just want my baby to feel oh-so-special. :") Haha! It's not even his birthday yet... It's just his retreat for Pete's sake!.. And I'm so not actually aware that it is his retreat today... I was just having an evil conversation with my lovebabe about some great stuff when she suddenly mentioned my baby.. She was like "Retreat nun bukas! Txt mo nga wala kase akong pantxt e" Oh diba?!.. Maka utos si ate wagas?!.. Bangasan ko kaya yun?!.. Chosz! Hahaha! Well.. What else is there to say?.. Yeah here goes my message...

Hi Baby! :)

Feeling so special yet?.. Haha! Well, you should because you are. I love you baby! If it isn't too obvious... I don't know why.. Do I need reasons?!.. Haha. Well I'm the most impulsive person you'll ever meet.. I do what I want to do and there's no stopping me once I start something up... You're my best friend's cousin and I so love that cousin of yours... Even if she actually gets on my nerves at times... Or most of the times I guess.. :)) She's the one who knows me too well and I'm not comfortable to anyone as much as I am with her.. Then I met you.. And your other cousins... And I just feel so welcomed and loved... I've never been so attached to people but with you guys... It's different. I love you all to bits and pieces! But you're my favorite!..❤ Don't tell them I said that... :)) Why didn't we met sooner?!.. Haha! I don't know whether it's the alcohol or whatever else... There's just no denying that we clicked so much when we're all drinking... together. :)

our first picture together ^_^
i so love getting wasted with you

I know we don't know much about each other yet... You'll probably hate me when you find out how freak of a brat I am, how mean can I get and how annoying I can be. Or maybe you'll love me more.. :)) Well, we'll go figure it out.. We have all the time in the world baby. Looking forward for our countless alcohol refill sessions together. Haha!

Uhm..? What else did I miss... Hmm.. Yeah the "thank you" part. Well thank you for having me as your one and only baby... :") I told you already right?.. I'm possessive and I don't do sharing. >:) And since you're my one and only baby as well.. Let's straighten things out... I don't want anyone hurting you... I'll kill anyone who tries to... And you don't want me to be a murderer and end up in jail baby... So you shouldn't let anyone hurt you... It's your retreat and I'm talking about murder... Hahaha!! What I'm really trying to say is that be strong enough to forgive people who'll hurt you because no matter how cautious you are there will always be those people who'll try to get you down... But they can't if you won't let them. Remember that. Aright?.. Well... You have me now and I'm always gonna be here exclusively for you baby..❤ Whether you'll want someone to talk to, someone to listen to you, someone to make you feel better, someone to scold you when you did something really stupid or someone you can do stupid stuffs with... You can always count on me. ;) And just so you know.. There are just too few people that I consider special in my life... And you're obviously one of those few so feel free to feel privileged.

That's it!.. I don't really know how to end this... Hahaha! I so love you baby! Enjoy your time with God. As I've said just surrender everything to Him. He'll know exactly what to do. This isn't actually about me.. This is about how God loves you and how special you are because you're His child. Only God knows how thankful I am that He sent you in my life. ❤

PS: I know you love the color green baby that's why the font color of this post is green. :)

Date with Buko

Have you ever had a best friend who always gets on your nerves and gives you entirely no choice but to fight with her? Over and over and over again just because of the same-unexplainable-petty reasons? Well I have one, and much that I wanna kill her most of the times... I love her still from bits to pieces! I'm sweet like that. Hahaha! Ooh.. Perfect song for her: Love the Way You LIE. Peash bebe! hahaha! Why haven't I thought of that until now?! LOL

So.. It's been a while since we hang out together.. You know with just the two of us and such... But last April 18, 2013 we kind of went out on a date... Well not exactly planned date... She just made up with a mess she did to me... Haha! Forgiven...? Fine. Forgotten? Hmmm.. We'll see if I'll be able to. :))

So anyways... It's been what 4 days ago..? And I'm not planning to jolt down everything.. Just you know.. The highlights of it and all. Summary as to book report. Psh. Technical! I miss school!! WAAAAH! Segway. Psh. Whatever! Let's go back to Buko Pandan Date 2013!!!

See I badly want a pink hair dye... So we went to some place she knew that sells some. But. People nowadays... They don't want me to be happy! T__T The pink hair dye is out of fcuknig stock!

Me: (talking to Cza) Sabi mo may pink dito eh!!! >__<
Ate Tindera: (epal much) Meron naman po. Out of stock lang.
Me: (in my head.. MEANIE ME ACTIVATED) Leshe di ikaw kausap ko wag ka sumasabat! >:|

Meanie Me... Wahahaha!! >:)) Sheezenit! Result for my stubbornness and misery to find a pink hair dye?! 2-3 hours of walking and searching for one that will suffice. Haha! I'm a brat..? *roll eyes* Born to be! >:))

Anyhows, it's a good thing we roam around.. Because if not... We will not be able to see the most amazing tarpaulin that I have ever seen in my existence... Ganda ng font eh... Angas ng color combination... Nakalagay??? Di ko na matandaan.. Pero this is the remarkable word: BED SHIT. Yes caps lock! :)) they're selling all sizes of bed sheets yata... Basta something like that! Tapos ayun fail yung spelling nila instead of SHEET... SHIT talaga. Fck. Ang awesome ng moment of laughter naming dalawa nun! :))

That's actually the highlight... Bed shit amputa.. Rawr! Asar much! :)) So yeah we talked over frappuccino just like what we often do since our friendship started.. Talked about these and that.. Itsy bitsies of gossips... Then.. We played BASKET BALL! Well, not really basket ball the sport.. Just the shooting thing at arcades... You know!? Haha! It's been a while since I last do that... Hmm.. Finally? The most unforgettable moment of our date: Fish Ball Craze. I finally satisfied my craving! Hahaha!!! We've seen it all through out the day.. But I keep on passing out because I thought she don't eat stuffs like that... But when we were finally on the street near her house, the temptation gets to me. Besides she said she'll eat along with me.. And, taadaa! We ate fish balls on the street! Yay! Saya-saya!!! :)) She walked me home... Well not really home.. Just until where the bridge is... She walked me to the bridge?.. hmm, whatev. That's how our date ends. :))

Meeting SGWannabe in Flesh

April 13, 2013
Book launch and fan signing of She's Dating the Gangster at National Book Store Festival Supermall.

It was unexpected. I mean, I really did not plan to go there that day. I read Ate Bianx tweet last Monday (April 8, 2013) about the deets on the said event. I ignored it. Practically because of two reasons: 1st: I don't have anyone to go with 2nd: the venue's far away from home and I suck at commuting and directions.

Then came Saturday... The day of the event. Stuck at home because I just recovered from a two day heavy fever sh!t. I was supposed to rest and regain my strength... But, being the hard headed girl that I am... I did something else. I traveled from Tondo to Alabang! I really don't know what's gotten into me. I suddenly wanna go there... So yeah.. I went there!

I've been an unfaithful best friend because I didn't tag my best friend along with me. Haha! But it wasn't my fault! We've agreed that we'll buy the book TOGETHER.. But she bought it alone for herself... I tried to find myself a copy but... It's out of stock in most bookstores... And they break my heart every time they tell me that they don't have anything for me. :( Then I read Ate Bianx post on her fan page... That there'll be books available at the venue! So I did not think twice... I decided right away that I have to go and buy the book and meet Ate Bianx no matter what.

And in my most fortunate state... I was at the first fan signing event of Miss Bianca Bernardino and together with her is the flesh of her story's protagonist Miss Athena Dizon. ❤ I made bawi din to my bhezzt lovebabe... I asked Ate Bianx to write a little something for her and she did. :) Ate Bianx is so nice and lovely! She's so down to earth as well. :)

But it wasn't easy going there.. Oh the sacrifices I make for my obsession... Haha! I took a cab to get to the venue. That's my easiest way there. And it costs me big bucks. Hay! Why the hell am I born without a sense of direction?! Poor me.. :( Namulubi ako sa taxi! Bwiset! >:(

Then again... It's quite worth it loves! I get to give my favorite author a letter, shook her hand, kissed and hugged her, got a hard copy of my fave story with her signature and a simple touching message. I was totally hooked with SDTG and it really was worth it for me. ❤

I got home safe and sound padin naman... I asked my college best friend to come over to hang out for a bit and she taught me how to get home in a cheaper way. Gosh! The fare that I paid on the way home was not even a quarter of the fare that I had with the cab! Then again.. I'd be lost if I didn't took the cab to get there.. So, yeah. Still worth it.

UPDATE: April 15, 2013

I gave ate Bianx a post card that contains these message:

Hi Ate Bianx!

There's just too much a word can say... And I can't find words to say... Haha! I guess congratulations would be appropriate! :) And thank you of course! For bringing Kenji and Athena to our world! ❤ Keep up the good work, good luck and God bless. ^_____^
"SDTG is my modern Romeo and Juliet minus the protagonists' stupidness. :P"

❤ Lots,
Daniella

And my penmanship sucks at that post card big time! I wrote it inside the cab on my way to the venue and its not a good thing... It makes my penmanship worse! Though I'm not making an excuse because my penmanship really sucks... But hey! Ate Bianx took a picture of it together with the gorgeous things she had received that day and posted it on her IG and twitter! Looooove! ❤❤❤

A Little Bit Too Much

This is so freaking nonsense.. As ALWAYS! Haha! Geez! I don't know.. My long time BFF dropped by today after her long absence from my life due to her persistent disease that you guys call "romantic relationship". Haha! The EFF. Napaka bitter ko diba?! Psh. Pahingi nga kasi ng ka romantic relationship dyan! LOL.

Ok, let me clear this up... I AM NOT JEALOUS that I don't have a boyfriend of my own. Please! Haha! Yeah fine, I'm jealous. I'm not denying that... But it's mainly because I felt FORGOTTEN and TAKEN FOR GRANTED. Psh. Peste yang mga lalaki na yan... Mang-aagaw ng best friend! Lagi ko na lang nararanasan 'to. And I fcuknig hate it! I'd rather chose to be harmed physically or even be stab in the back (literally and idiomatically) by someone I don't know, than this feeling of being forgotten and LEFT BEHIND by someone whom you considered your best friend.. Who promised you that she's always be around no matter what.. Whom you shared your secrets with. Whom you thought will stick around when no one will even bother to talk... Whom you thought you'll have when the rest of the world turn its back on you. It just sucks you know?

Now, I'm not just talking about my long time BFF here in this post. As I've said lagi ko na lang nararanasan 'to. Haha! Yeah, I know I sound freakishly selfish and possessive and whatever else. I don't care. I can't help but to feel this way eh!

Siguro nga I'm not on the right place to talk bad about the people in love... I don't have the right practically because I've never been into a romantic relationship before. There're just few flirtings and crushes... But no more than that. Sucks to be me huh? I still belong to the NBSB club. Or maybe I'll belong to the NBTD (No Boyfriend Till Death)... Haha! Siguro nga kaya feeling ko forgotten, left behind and taken for granted ako is because I've never really tried to be where they are. Ganun ba kasaya yun? Na talagang yung mundo mo iikot na lang sa kanya hanggang sya na yung maging mismong mundo mo at makalimutan mo yung iba na nasa paligid mo?! Ganun ba kasaya yun? Na kaya mong mabuhay mawala man lahat sa'yo 'wag lang siya?! Siguro... Oo. Katulad sa mga nababasa ko... Laging silang dalawa lang yung nag-e-exist. But this is the real life. Pero katulad padin ng mga kwento, hindi lang naman yung taong karelasyon mo ang kailangan mo para mabuhay ka... May mga ibang characters din dun noh! Sa iba nga mas nakaka-in love pa yung ibang characters kesa sa bida eh. Dito pa kaya sa totoong buhay?! Psh.

Tas eto pa mas nakakainis eh... Eh di kinalimutan ka na nga and such.. Tas pag nasaktan sya... Pag gumuho yung mundo nia... Tatakbo sa'yo... Syempre to the rescue ka. BEST FRIEND ka eh. Tapos after the rants, cursing, cussing and all... Makikipag balikan lang dun sa pesteng mundo nia!? Bad trip to infinity and beyond eh. Sarap sabunutan! Then again... Wla akong karapatang husgahan sila. Hindi naman eh. Nakakairita lng tlga pag ganun. Mukha kang tanga na nagalit dun sa lalaki tas wala lang pala?! Nakaka "What the fck man?!" eh diba?!?

Point? Hmm.. Wala naman... Siguro this is a lesson... Para in the future, 'pag may ka romantic relationship nako... Eh di hindi lang sakanya iikot mundo ko. Or maybe gagayahin ko na lang din sila... I'll fall in love and forget the rest of the world including them. Ganti-ganti din 'pag may time. Diba?! Pero teka.. Tongueina madaming time eh... Wala lang opportunity and PROSPECT. hahahaha!!!

To the North! To the North!

I was supposed to write this blog during the first day... But I decided not to because I wanted to focus on enjoying myself together with my friends with this trip. And so here I am blogging while on the road going back home.

On the way there:

Let's go back 3 days ago... 21st day (or night rather) of March 2013... We hit the road going to the 1st region of the Philippines at roughly 10pm. I can't say we're all in a good mood the night we left Manila... There were little misunderstandings on the given description of the trip.

1st: we thought its all just gonna be the six of us... nothing more, nothing less.... Because the description said: "...PRIVATE van."
2nd: the pick-up point. Again, the description said: "...of YOUR CHOICE (ANYWHERE IN METRO MANILA)". Hassle to the nth level! We hailed a cab just to be there in the pick-up point that wasn't even our choice.

But we put all that aside since we're still at our most comfortable state even if there were 3 strangers at our back...

It was a very long ride! But we did have stopovers... And our morning was filled with crisp, cool wind at a bridge, with a sun rising together with a promise that it's gonna be a great day ahead.

FIRST DAY

Our first stop in the Ilocos region was at Marsha's Delicacies where we grab our mouthful breakfast to fuel our day... Then we headed to Chavit's Baluarte... Which made me so twitter-pated as I saw a total of 5 tigers!!! They made me the 3rd happiest person alive that day... Nope, not the happiest.... Because, I wasn't able to touch them! So near yet so far.... :'(

Anyways, tigers are not the only creature that made my day... There were stags and does which greatly reminds me of Harry Potter... And anything that reminds me of HP is a sure hit for my heart. Oh, geez... Am I suppose to mention all of the animals that I saw there? Woah... I don't know if I remember them all... See, there were ponies (yup the small horses, you know?), reptiles (that disgust the creepy hell out of me... I don't like them really. Well I can tolerate iguanas and turtles.. But snakes and crocs?! I'd rather die.), peacocks, goats/sheeps/rum (i don't really know how to distinguish the three..) then they also have a butterfly garden (that nestled beautiful butterflies and their cycles.) And of course, our newest favorite animal... THE OSTRICH! Note the sarcasm darlings... I've never like that big bird... Hahaha! But an incident made my best friends and I laugh out loud on it... Like literally.. Whenever we mention it... Yup, there is an inside joke on that ostrich sh!t. Haha! I got you curious now ain't I? Hmmm.. Should I share the funny thing here?.. See, we like our things private.... But I swear, it's worth the laugh... So kindly brace yourself from laughing hard. :))

The three of us wanted to have a picture with the ostrich... The ostrich that we chose ain't moving... As in, it's like its immobile or something... So we decided to go in front of it and aim the camera at self-shot mode... The three of us smiled at the camera and as we reviewed the picture taken, we were devastated to find the ostrich missing! And when we looked back into it, it has walked away from us! That unmannered bird! Haha! My best friend said: "di man lang nagpaalam na aalis na pala sya." It's a laughing stock all through out our tour. We decided to label some unmannered people as OSTRICH. Para di masyadong direct... Plus, they'll die in wonder why we call them ostrich... We imagined how someone will react when we call them ostrich... and imaginations are priceless baby! Hahaha!!! >:)

Next stop? The Syquia mansion... The visit at that simple mansion awakens the dreamer inside me. Hearing the phrase "dreams do come true" makes me remember all the things that I was just dreaming before coming all to life... (Like this trip for an instant!) And all the dreams that I have that are yet to come. It's creepy in a good way. Anything that belongs in history pinches my heart a little bit. Always hungry for hidden deets that were not written in any of my history books... It's fun.. Deciphering the past... But it's not a career for me... I'm just a simple... Gossiper.. Well, no scratch that... I barely re-tell the things that I know.... So I'm no gossiper... I'm just a simple... Listener...? Yeah. That's way better. :P

We encountered two tour guide inside the Syquia mansion... The first one talks authoritatively. Do's and don'ts is his thing and after all his reminders he let us lurks unsupervised along the mansion. Then why we're in the "aliping sagigilid's" lair, the second tour guide appears from nowhere and told us that since we are not "alipins" we should roam inside the mansion and not just on the side. I mean, he's like seriously telling us to be offended that we were walking where the alipins had walked. The first tour guide though didn't mention anything about it and he's the one who told us to walk on that side of the house... And I think he (the first tour guide) thought we won't be minding that... I mean, maybe he thought "what you don't know won't hurt you" right? Haha! And please! We're already in the modern times... So practically, why would you mind such? Except maybe you are overly sensitive-stupid-purposely-looking-down-on-others typical kind of person... Let's be honest here, equality in society had been an undying issue ever since... And well, if you're the kind of person who doesn't believe in equality of individuals, I suggest you find the second tour guide when you visit that mansion. Just saying. Haha! And the second tour guide was undeniably... Talkative. He has a lot to say and share. He even told us about the 11 day love story of the late former president Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda. Haha! Now he is the gossiper! :P

We headed to the potter's place afterwards... Sobrang daming palayok! Haha! It greatly reminds me of my childhood... I used to play "lutu-lutuan" using cute little pots from my grams... And those little pots.... Got shattered just like the friendship that I had with my childhood best friend.... Saaaad! :( Kidding. Hahaha! I don't really care right now... I just thought of those pots! Haiisszt! I regret all the days I wasted with her. Psh. And now I'm pissed. Boohoo! >_<

So let's try to talk about pots.... Yes? Well we just basically watch the potters (I'm not talking about Harry or anyone from his kins... Haha!) make their thing.... That is, making pots! It was my first time to see a potter make a pot and it has been my dream to try to make one... But unfortunately it may take A LOT of time for me to make one so I didn't bother. Though I had a chance to take a picture while sitting on a potter's throne and pretended to be the one making the pot. Haha! We also saw the very long "pugon" where the potters bake their pots. Yes they bake it! Or that's just my term haha! Well, you see they put it inside a big oven! So yeah, they bake it. Don't argue with me.. I'll kill you! :))

We had lunch after that and we're midway our first day... Yesh! We're all excited to have a decent sleep... Or the beach front... Or maybe about our planned drinking session in front of the beach!

We headed to the Light House (that I do not know the name... Basta light house!) And it's a bummer because we cannot go to its very top thing... You know where the controller room is... It's effin' locked out. Psh. But the view is to die for... And I felt like flying out! It's fun to be in high places... Seeing down below takes my breath away! Haha!

We continue burning our lunch down by walking under the freaking sunlight to get to the amazing "Kapupurawan Rock Formation"... They are magical... Haha! Basta ask pareng google about it. Actually the only thing I know about them when I was just hearing about them was that they're white... Because the word white in Ilocano dialect is "puraw"... My pap's Ilocano.. Actually both my parents are.. But I do not know how to speak the language.. I only knew that puraw means white because I remember having a white dog when I was a little girl named Puraw. Haha. Wala lang... May masabi lang diba... But hey! They're like icebergs in pictures! Haha! Icebergs that do not melt! Hihi! It's more awesome in the Philippines! :P

We thought we were already drained out and we'll all be checking in at the place where we'll sleep for the night but we thought wrong... We still have one last destination: the windmills! The description says "breath taking windmills" and I remember telling my lovebabe: "pag hindi ako na breath take sa windmills nayan ha..."

So was my breath taken? Actually... Yes. Not because of the view though... But because of the jump shots we've done with the windmills at our background! Hahaha! But in all honesty, they are beautiful. The windmills I mean. Not just because of their structure but basically because of what they do... See, they supply energy! And the electricity in the North is 40% cheaper babe! That's because of them... Wonderful at their existence. Geez! I wanted to be like the windmills... Haha! That's freaking deep.

After we bid our goodbye to those beautiful things called windmills.... We were finally on our way to Polaris (the resort where we stayed for the night).

We chased the sunset loves! And well, we captured it. Just in time before the sun goes down... Nothing beats the shore at sunset. It's... One of the most romantic thing you know... Specially when you're with your lover. Sheeze! My lover... Where art thou?!?? You... Have been missing a lot! You'll get a punishment from me once I found you! I'm not so good at waiting love... Tsk. >_>

We have beds!!! Haha! Actually, we didn't plan to sleep... We have planned a drinking session right?!.. Pero pinagkaitan kami ng yelo!!! Gaahd! So we passed and planned to drink on the beach the next day.. We spent our night... Talking. My two best friends and I... Hahaha... It might be absurd to say that I've missed them because we're often together the past months... But it's different you know? Business talk is different from vacation talks... I mean... Ugh! It's hard to explain... It's just different. Maybe that's what makes our friendship undeniably good. It's business when business and play when play. Gets? No? Then die. Shoo! Stop reading this. Haha!

It's just overwhelming you know... To be with them at times like this... I missed our little talks... You know what we've talked about? Everything. Just plain everything. From politics to ostrich to whatever else. Hahaha! We talk like that you know... Broad topic. Concise POVs... And we're more matured now... Hihihi... But we're not old! Cannot be!!! No effin' way! Haha! I've read something like this from somewhere out there: "the age you met your best friends will always be the age you act when you're with them." Haha! And I guess it's true. :)

SECOND DAY

We're off to the beach baby! Well, we didn't really enjoyed the beachfront of Polaris the previous night so I'm excited for the beach! Hihihi!..

We've passed by and stopped over the Patapat Viaduct where you can see an amazing view of the sea... And we also stopped by on a water falls beside a road called Paraiso ni Anton.

While we're on our way to the Blue Lagoon... Kuya Rod (I hope I got his name right... Our tour guide/driver on our trip) showed us the the longest zip line they have there... And that's when we realized that our precious magic purse is missing! I thought I still cannot try the zip line... But since we're special precious guest... We managed to get it back! Haha! Talk about connections... LOL. But in all fairness... My heart almost stopped beating with the thought that we lost the money that we worked hard... For nothing. The heart attack that I get!

Blue Lagoon... Was blue! And beautiful. Loved it! And I loved it better at the top view. I flew over it! 'twas a wonderful, magnificent thing! ❤ That's the best part for real! I still can't get over the feeling of flying! See, Hannah's Zip Line is claiming to be the world's longest zip line OVER WATER. And it just feels overwhelmingly awesome to have conquered it... BTW, it was my first time to zip... And I did it the "superman" way! Haha!!! Love it. The wind, the view, the feeling. Geez! It's freaking awesome! I even waved Hi to the people bathing at the sea and they waved back at me! Haha! Yesh! It's freaking good!

Next stop after the beach?... The falls!!! But it takes hard work to saw this beautiful thing... Thirty minutes trekking under the freaking hot Mr. Sun! Plus my annoying slippers... Or feet? Haha! Whatever. Anyway... Hard work pays off! The Kabigan Falls is beautiful and icy cold. Haha! Astonishing piece of nature... It's lovely.

Before we completely head back to where our van was, we stopped over at some stores in the mid way of our way (Huh?) to grab some snack... And my two best friends had a feisty buko drinking contest! All for my buko meat!! Haha! I'm spoiled with them. (Psh. What's new? You're always spoiled with anyone. Brat.) They love me that much... Suck it up. :))

We headed to Laoag City after bathing.... I was knocked out on our way to the city... We all are I guess... Except for my lovebabe.. And all she does was whined about a beautiful view the we had passed where you can see the windmills... Di daw sya nakababa para mag picture dahil tulog kame at walang magpipicture sa kanya... Kuuu! Di pa nagsawa sa windmills eh!

We checked in at Tiffany Hotel and dine at my most favorite diner yet... Macy's Diner... It's love at first sight man! Haha! A time machine back to the 50's! Out of the Philippines and into the North America! The inside of the diner is freaking cute! Then they have a juke box... And it's working! We played Madonna's Like A Virgin and the mood is all set! And the diner is not just about the atmosphere... I also give the food and the service my two thumbs up!

Our planned drinking session was still on a zero progress... We did not do it on the beach because... We chose to enjoy bathing at the see under the sun.. So I thought it's finally about to begin but.... We get out of the hotel to check out the plaza in front of Laoag's Municipal Hall... It's beautifully lit with... Lights. Haha! After checking it out I thought we'll finally be drinking our asses off... Turned out the elders that we're with had been drinking it to half empty already... All we had was a sip in one glass... Which is a kinda good thing because... (I'm sorry lovebabe...) it's disgusting! Tequila + lime juice (margarita sh!t whatever..) Maybe it wasn't just my thing... Well I prefer drinking tequila the way it's suppose to be drank... Body shot!!! Hahaha! Kidding. ;)

THIRD DAY

We grabbed our breakfast once again and for the last time... At Macy's Diner. I was attached with that diner :( saaaad. But off we go... We're up for an adventure and tours at our last day on the north of my beautiful archipelago.

First stop? Get wild and dirty. Literally. Sand dunes adventure darlings! Kindly be thankful that you were not our 4x4 driver that day. Hahaha! Screamings and shoutings at its finest sweethearts... We've already talked that we won't be trying it out because its just sands and the sun's heat was beyond blazing! So I don't exactly know why we've tried it out. As in no idea... I really didn't insist. Swear. Hahaha! Oh. Yeah... I remember... Czarina wanted to try it out... Parang exciting daw eh... And since I'm so madaling kausap and super mapagbigay... Go lang! Haha! But kidding aside, we actually got almost 50% discount... Well, that's the main reason why we really tried it out. Oy sayang yun ah! Andun na kami eh! Dibaaaa?!.. Hahaha! Frantic ride trip that is! I don't exactly know why we're screaming and shouting at the top of our lungs... Daig pa namin yung mga sumakay ng roller coasters na umiikot pabaliktad eh nakasakay lang naman kame sa likod 4x4 truck.. Hahaha! Well, it was thrilling naman talaga. And the wind blows us up. Charaught! Haha! I'm so maarte in this post ha... Hate this tag-lish, coño sh!t. Pardon me.. I'm so pagod kaya! Hahaha!! I don't know where we are na... And I'm freaking sleepy... Ang creepy dark outside the window pa... Mamaya may lumabas na babaeng nakaputi sa gitna ng daan... Just like those freaky ghost stories sh!t. Bakit parang lahat ng taong kasama ko tulog na?!? Pati si Manong Driver yata eh!! UWAAAAHHH!!!

Haha! Joke lang... I'm freakishly bored... Gonna sleep for a bit and then I'll continue this... Will freshen up my mind.. XxoO

April 2013

YAAAAH! It's been 2 weeks and still I'm not yet done writing this huh? Bad, lazy me... Anyways.. Let's continue this. Yes? :))

So, after our wild sand dunes adventure... We headed to the Malacañang of the North. Well, basically that's where the Marcoses lived. It was their former house. Well, I don't know if its still theirs or whoever owns it now, I didn't asked. :P I loved the interior, and the location of that house.

Then we dropped by at the Marcos Museum and Mausoleum. We're effin' thirsty.. We bought some buko juice and refreshen up ourselves a bit. Why does buko tastes so good?! haha! Too bad we cannot take pictures inside where the remains of the former president lies. It has been.. My dream to see the remains of the former late president... I don't know why... I guess he just inspires me so much. Or basically because my mama told me that he is the best president that our country ever had. So put all the bad issues about him aside... I think he's a great person in spite of all those negative comments people have about him. Politics is politics and I do not intend to discuss any of it here in my blog. I hate that world. Politics is a chaotic sh!t that I wouldn't dare mingle with. Disciplinarian as he is.. For me he was a true great leader who only thinks of this country's prosperity. And he's also a lover by the way... I'll never forget the 11 day love story that I've learned about him and his wife. :)

We headed to Paoay Church right after that... Correct me if I'm wrong but Paoay Church is one of the oldest church in the Philippines. Well it's famous for its structure. It's my first time to visit that church... So, one wish for me! :)

Empanada tasting time! Of course... It's one of the most famous delicacies of the North... We cannot not try it once we're there. We had the joy of watching the Kuya how to make the famous empanada. CAUTION: Hot!!! Haha! It's best eaten when it's freshly out of the fryer.

We took our lunch and then dropped by on our last stop at Laoag... And that is... Juan Luna's house. I don't know if it has a specific name though... I forgot already. So to put it in a nutshell, it wasn't the original structure anymore. It was said that it was burnt down to ashes and was just rebuild by the former First Lady Marcos. The painter's lair was full of rich history. I love listening to the tour guide's infos... It feels awesome deciphering the paintings... And meddling and looking back on the painter's tragic yet worthy life had been interesting for me. There are vampires on the famous painting Spoliarium! Haha! I always want a painter friend. Maybe JuanLuna was my friend on my past life... They said he was close to the kings and queens of those times... Hmm.. Maybe I was one of his queen friend. LoL.

We headed back to Vigan afterward.. I was personally excited to walk on the streets of Vigan Heritage Site where the old Spanish houses are located. But before we proceed there, we dropped by at the Vigan Church where the cutesy Bell Tower is. Second wish in one day babe! Haha! Plus a chance to get up close and personal with the bells up the tower! Haha! Yup! We climbed up Hunchback's lair! And it's lovely up there! And I being the lovely-unafraid-adventurous-crazy me enjoys the freaking view! Oh the feeling of being on top! Ako ang babaeng walang lula! Haha! Those other tourists up there with us were all afraid that I might fall off or something. Haha! It's epic! Sila yung nalulula for me! Geez! I overheard one saying "Grabe. Hindi siguro siya nagkakape!" Haha! I felt like LOLing on that statement and tell her that: "Oh sweetie, I bleed caffeine!" But I did not... I don't talk to some random strangers you know. :P HAHAHA.

Finally! We're on our last stop! WAAAAH! Ayaw ko pa umuwi nun time na yun... :( I fell in love with the North peeps! Shems. It's friggin beeeyoootifuuuul! WAAAAHH! Gusto ko bumalik dun! Now na! Haha!

Anyways, highways, subways and whatever other ways... After some stopovers on the way to buy pasalubongs... the heart warming free taste of macaroons and all.. I finally walked on the streets of Vigan! Yes baby! That's an achievement. I love vintage. And I always wanted to walk there. Haha! Sunset at Kalye Crisologo! Well, I have a thing for sunset.. Ob-vious-ly. Yay! There's this always longing and wondering inside of me of how would it feel to walk on that street of the past and live those buried rich histories to life.

Oh yeah, I fcuknig remember the ice cream cart that ran out of cones! Sheezenit!

Dear Manong Sorbetero...
Please stock up your cones properly.
Sincerely,
Me who felt deprived of happiness because there's no ice cream for me. :(

Haha! Promise nakakalungkot yun! Amp. But the indigo colored sky takes the disappointment away. Indigo. :") Sheeze, my best friends would think otherwise of it... Haha! Tch. It's not what you guys think! No! Haha! It's my NSN's newest album kaya! Blah. Whatever. Why am I so defensive?! Psh. Bummer! >_< Wahahaha! :))

Hmm.. So after walking through the beautiful street, we took our dinner and make up with my ice cream craze... But in all unfortunate, tragic state... Being the immature kid that I am... I got ice cream on my dress before I finished eating it. Yikes ba? Hmmm... Batok you like?? Haha! I'm clumsy like that. Bata pako eh! :)) Soooo... Since I'm so disgusted with me self... I washed my clothes inside a fast food chain's (Greenwich! di na lang lasagna love ko sa kanila! haha!) restroom. Good thing they have a decent one and their customers are too busy eating to even bother going to their restroom. Hahaha!! So good job! My dress is as good as brand new!

My heart was left in Vigan... May gwapo kasi akong nakita. Charaught! Hahaha! But hey! I really enjoyed this trip with my two BFFs. I hope we can explore the whole archipelago together! Yesh! Haha! Pero malabo... Nagsasawa nako sa kanila... Lagi na lang sila kasama ko! Haha! Actually it's the other way around.. LOL. Nakakasawa kaya akong kasama! All my tantrums and such... Hahahaha!!! Pero wala nang magcha-chaga (arte ng spelling?! Haha!) sakin tulad nila... Ayyiiie! Haha! So...

Dear future lover...
Please be good friends with my best friends. They've been taking good care of me while you're lost in your way finding me. Do you suck at directions like I do? Why are you so maatagaaal?!.. You'll really receive a heart ripping punishment from me once you found me! Hahaha!! And you... Can't replace them in my heart darling... You can't take me away from them. Araso? Saranghae! ❤
Sincerely,
Running out of patience waiting for you!

Dear lovebabe and buko...
Saranghae... Unjaena.. Youngwonhee! Haha! Senyo ko nlng muna yan sasabihin. I know we don't believe in forever... But I wanna be your friend for this whole lifetime! Mianhae... For being so sensitive at times (or always?!.. Haha!) Well, let's be honest here... I'm not really sorry darlings... I mean, it's who I am. And I'll never be sorry for who I am and you love me as me right? But, what I'm sorry for is if (and I know its for real and not just "if") in one way or another I'm hurting you because of what I am. That's what I'm truly sorry for loves. Lastly, gomawo. For being my best friend. :") for loving me, for spoiling me, for... everything we had and will have... For our friendship extraordinaire! Haha!
Much love..
-Daniella (AKA lovebabe/pandan) ❤

*saranghae - I love you
*unjaena Youngwonhee -always and forever
*mianhae - I'm sorry
*gomawo - thank you

Pasensya naman sa Hangul fever ko... Eh nakakhawa kasi si SL's Lovebabe.. Yung original. Haha!

Summer 2013

My first summer without the anticipation for vacation... Haha! Meaning? My first summer outside school... A year had passed and I'm still not over my student life... And I can just remember how my student self would wish for graduation so that i can get schooling out of my life. Geez! That's what you call irony of life. F'ing as always. Tsss...

So it's summer!!! I hate the heat but I'm beating it! I've loved my first summer trip this year! Yay! Not even done blogging about it. Haha! I'm not actually supposed to blog but... Here goes... Moody me.. :))

I don't get why people anticipate summer but once it's here all I hear was complaints about sun burns, tan sh!ts and all that. I was like please! If you don't want a sun kissed skin then go cover yourself with a blanket inside your room and don't you dare ever come out! Whew. People are people... But most of the times... They act like sh!t.

Yeah.. That's just what I wanna say... Haha! Few of my best friends are guilty here... LOL.

"To deny one's past is to deny oneself." -Blair Waldorf

HAHAHA!!! I love going through my old notes, blog posts, diary/planner entry, and the likes... It brings tons of memories and all that sh!tty feeling of nostalgia. There're those moment when you'll ask yourself: did I really wrote this? It's a fun thing to do when you're hella bored. You might remember the feelings but instead of feeling it again... You'll just either laugh or cry about it. But it's always amazing to take a look back; whether the memories will make you happy or sad, you'll just have to accept the fact that once in your life, you felt "it"and you've come a long way to regret, get over and survive all those things. And you gonna give yourself a pat in the back to say that "You did a good job. There's more to come so carry on and live your life your way."

This Line Struck the Sh!t Outta Me

The best thing you could give someone is a CHANCE.

Kahit paulit-ulit..? Kahit Sa tingin mo masyado nang naabuso?..  Ewan ko. Hindi ko na alam. Masyado nang madaming nangyari. Siguro nga lalabas na sobrang babaw ko... At napaka walang kwenta kong kaibigan. Who cares?.. Think and say whatever you want about me... I wouldn't give a damn. Wala naman kayong alam Sa nangyari eh. Hindi namam kayo yung nakaramdam ng naramdaman ko. Ang hirap Sa mga tao Sa paligid sobrang galing magsalita at manghusga... Palibhasa wala naman talaga silang alam. Diba nga "it's easier said than done"? O, di ko nilahat ha... Basta! Sawang-sawa nakong makinig Sa mga kasinungalingan. I've had enough. Sabi nga nila diba "The only people you need in your life are the ones who need you in theirs." Clearly she doesn't need me. Why would I be so pathetic chasing after a friendship that's been abused and neglected? Tanggap Kong ako yung masama. Ok nako dun. Ako na yung nag give-up. Fine. But she's the reason behind it all. Magiging sinungaling ako kapag sinabi kong di ko namimiss Ang presence nia... Oo namimiss ko sya. And I will miss her forever. Siguro nga hindi nmn ako galit Sa kanya. I'm just making a big deal out of this sh!t. We both does anyway. Oo magkakaayos. Well, maayos nmn... I mean there's nothing to fix. It's all good. But it will never be the same.

Chance you ask?.. She had tons of that... I'm the one who doesn't have a single bit. And how can you give what you don't have?

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,really,really,really,really, really really really,really,really, really, don't care.

My Starbucks Experience

I used to ignore coffee. As a child, I totally do not understand why some people drink it. Then one sunny day, my uncle brought me to this coffee shop where all the people are smiling at me; greeting me like they're so pleased to see me. And from that moment... My heart starts to pump Starbucks caffeine in my system.

I have been a Starbucks enthusiast ever since. My grams always scold me whenever I buy coffee in Starbucks for a hundred plus bucks. Some people say that I'm such a spender and that they don't understand why I am addicted to a pricey thing like it. Well, they don't have to understand it. Please! When did I ever explain myself?

But I am not addicted to Starbucks. I love it. There's a hella big difference. The warmth that envelops my whole being whenever I drop by to any Starbucks store is way beyond unexplainable. It isn't just about the pricey  coffee. It's about how you feel "home" whenever  you step inside the store. The fact that you're welcome to a place is such a big impact.

Every time I visit Starbucks, there came a point that I told myself: "I want to share the warmth that I feel." 'Twas my high school dream to be a part of Starbucks. How does it feel to be the one giving the warmth to every people that visit? And I vowed that one day I'll try working there. I graduated high school, finished my college degree and got bummed after taking and passing my board exam... Surfing the net as usual when I suddenly remember that I'm curious about how the partners work.

Curiosity killed the cat. One fine evening, just one night after I sent my resumé online, i received a text message inviting me for an initial interview, and to put it in a nutshell, I was hired. My first ever job. The moment I started working, I just knew that it's not what I want to do for the long run. The passion was there, but the patience... Well I don't have lots of that thing and unfortunately I ran out of it.

No regrets, only lessons learned. Why.. Of course no regrets! My experience as a Starbucks partner was beyond overwhelming. A dream come true for me. It was not perfect and not always fun... But it was great. I met great people in the presence of my Starbucks partners... My team P. Star. I love them to bits! haha! Guess will never forget them ALL. Hail and praises to all of them. I salute their patience and smiling faces. Missing them so bad right now. Then there are those annoying pieces of sh!ts as well... I don't want to speak ill... SO, let them rest in peace. Shoot! I did not just say that?!.. HAHAHA! Well, they're better off... Dead. :O I'm so mean right now... :) The devil inside me is unleashed! Goodness gracious! I'm sorry, I can't help it... Their faces are flashing in my head and just remembering them pisses the hell out of me. :P

 All right.. So much for that. Gotta get a grip on the evil me. HAHAHA! Starbucks is a people company. It aims to please like my Mr. Grey. Too bad for me I am not a people person and I hate pleasing those abusive ones. But I love Starbucks and we're perfect for each other... But not all perfect are good. And sometimes, you can't be your best self with the one that you love. That's the time when you have to let go. Blah. It's just me. 

It's not just about the pricey coffee... It's always gonna be about the satisfaction and warmth that somehow someone behind that drink, brings to you. It might not be verbal. and most people won't get it... But it can be felt... By a heart that loves. ♥
