everything

i have to watch the Lifehouse concert! is there anyone out there who's interested to join me? huwag lang Upper Box B, masaya na ako. :D i once said that i'd be willing to pay 10k just to watch this band. thank God the ticket prices are not that expensive. i'm still broke from my Hong Kong trip. this is probably meant to be! :D

i am back

... from Hong Kong and Macau. And i'm dreading the week-long meetings, trainings and discussions that is coming my way. I think i would need another vacation after that. I'll be doing a more detailed post about my trip later. For now, here are just some things i would like to get out of my system already!
  • most of the people there keep talking to me in chinese. i cannot believe i look chinese.
  • 4 days and 3 nights out of the country, 3 different hotels -- i am not doing that again!
  • i am not drinking again for a month! i woke up this morning and i was still drunk. good thing i didn't have my laptop with me and i was on roaming, so drunk blogging and drunk dialing were not options.
  • for someone who didn't pay for any of the hotels and rarely paid for the food and drinks, i spent waaaaay too much. i won't be eating for the rest of the year. thanks to my friend Richie for all the treats!
  • but on spending again, i just want to say i love all the things that i bought. and of course, my "prized finds" were DVDs! wahahah! i bought When a Man Loves a Woman, When Harry Met Sally, Lost in Translation, and Il Mare. :D
  • i gambled for the first time in Macau, and i actually won a bit. but again, i already spent all my winnings.
  • while in Macau, i received a text from Bibliarch that Fables 10 and Absolute Sandman Vol. 3 which i reserved last week were already available. and they were on sale until Sunday (20% off!). so i asked my sister to claim them for me, and now they are here. triple yay! new babies. ;)
It was tiring but it was also a fun vacation. Now, if only i can find my brain again and get my head out of the vacation cloud...

drunken post

so 3 months and 10 days later, i lost a bet i had with myself. what did i lose? damn pride. i blame my iPod which i recently "lent" to my sister. ------------------------------------------------------------ why is it so good to drunk dial? i always have the urge to drunk dial (whenever i'm drunk, duh). however, i've never ever went through with it. i always chicken out about 10 seconds after i press the call button. so it's either i don't get connected at all, or i hang up after a ring or two. ------------------------------------------------------------ sigh, it's so sad that a lot of my friends are sad. and i've always been the type of person who never knows what to say. i wish to be the kind of person who'll be able to say the things people want and need to hear. i wish there's something more i can do than just listen. bleh... grown up life. "bakit ang mga kaibigan natin, sobrang adult-type na yung mga problema nila? ako, pang-teenybopper pa rin yung mga problema ko eh!" says jae. sometimes i feel like that too. oh but really, i'd rather have teenybopper-type of problems. ------------------------------------------------------------ i've been watching too much anime lately... slam dunk, kyou kara maoh, and now fruits basket. by doing so, i realized i like the silent-and-bit-cold-hearted-bordering-on-mean-but-must-be-at-least-cute type of guy. i.e. Rukawa of Slam Dunk or Yuki of Fruits Basket. i wish they exist in real life. and i wish i was back in high school. ------------------------------------------------------------ i'm hungry, and sleepy. so i now choose to sleep... zzz... good night, world! P.S. i'm leaving for Hong Kong on thursday. now i'm a bit excited. happy independence day everyone!

i never thought i am already in that stage in my life...

... where you attend a sort-of family reunion, and your relatives ask you "aren't you getting married yet?". and when you say "no", you get that nagging "well you better hurry. it's going to be hard to get pregnant and be pregnant when you're older. you only have til you're 33... blah blah... how old are you again?". wtf?!??!
