between letting go and moving on

For more madrama lang na title…

Mamaya ko na ito ieedit. Marami ako binabasa. Grabe, ka-lss talaga yung bagong kanta ng FOB. Loveit. It’s so bagay!

you say this song suits me? more like, us, really…

Baby, seasons change but people don’t.
And I’ll always be waiting in the back room
.
I’m boring but overcompensate with
Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography.

But don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.
Don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.

Wouldn’t you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines.
Widow or a divorcee?
Don’t pretend, d-d-d-don’t pretend.

We don’t fight fair!
We don’t fight fair!

They say your head can be a prison.
Then these are just conjugal visits.
People will dissect us till
This doesn’t mean a thing anymore.

Don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.
Don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.

Wouldn’t you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines.

Widow or a divorcee?
Don’t pretend, d-d-d-don’t pretend.

We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We’re trapped and well concealed in secret places,
woah.
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We’re trapped and well concealed in secret places
We don’t fight fair!
We don’t fight fair!
We don’t fight fair!
We don’t fight fair!
We don’t fight fair!

We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We’re dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah.
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We’re dropped and well concealed in secret places.
We don’t fight fair!
With smiles on our faces.
We’re dropped and well concealed in secret places.
We don’t fight fair!

Don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.
We don’t fight fair!
Don’t pretend you ever forgot about me.
We don’t fight fair!

-THE TAKE OVER, THE BREAK’S OVER-

FOB

May I just say that it’s very apt. Haha you’re so right.

Watch the vid of this song here.

Doreen, Pet, Ronin and I were at the grandstand and while Ronin was deciding if he would bitch-bash, Doreen asked quite a strange question.

"Pet! Pet! Pag bibigyan mo si Ronin ng bagong name, ano iyon?"

"Edgar." Pet laughed. "Pwede ring Dennis! O Gio!"

We all laughed. Then, it was my turn.

"Angela." She said and I thought, wtf? May parallelism ba dito? Lol.

"Sounds so virginal." said Doreen. "Hindi bagaaay!"

"Mary!" exclaimed Pet. "Mary Angela!!!"

Geez. So there. I have a new name.

Btw, Doreen now goes by Lianne and Pet’s Victoria. So ayun. Ayan na ang mga bago naming pangalan.

PS watched The Simpsons movie a while ago. Laugh trip siya. If you’re depressed, stressed or just want to undress (I’m kidding, lol) just grab a friend (Preferably a hot one from the opposite sex; Now that explains the undressing…. Kidding!) and watch this movie. Pampasaya talaga siya.

A reminder to all boys and girls: Please do turn off your mobile phones while watching. While it may distract other viewers, unwanted and unexpected overseas call may also disrupt your viewing pleasure. Thank You.

and this is the second time! geez!

Someone hacked into my account… again! Geez. Well, give and take.

*long sigh*

This has happened before, actually. Never really caught the evildoers who were responsible. I’m betting it’s the CIA. Lol. They’re still a bit mad about the HP7 thing, aren’t they?

after the dark ages of “i don’t know”

I have no effing idea what happened to friendster blogs yesterday. I have no effing idea at all. So, I blogged at multiply instead! And it was fun, fun fun! Andaming features like there’s a poll, etc. And mas fun dun kasi wala kang takas. Pag viniew mo page ng isang tao, or isang specific post, lagot ka. Kasi walang invi mode dun. Bwahahaha! And it gives you an idea of who your readers are.

So, eto po ang multiply site ko!

Sagutin niyo yung poll ah! Dsc01592

<– Kami ni Freya nung debut ni Abi sa Gazebo Royale. Di ko pa nauupload mga scavenged pix eh. Di pa kumpleto. Kaya eto, mga previews muna.

Ay. Blurred. Korni. Hahaha. My goodness, sige nga! Hanapin nyo kung asan ako jan! 

Lahat_na

Naalala ko lang, nung nagsimula ng paganahin yung mist machine (na nasa taas lang ng table namin) kala ko napenetrate na ng ulan yung bubong (it looked flimsy, really) so nilabas ko na yung payong ko. And my classmates were like, "NOOOOO, NICAAAAAAI! YUNG MIST MACHINE YUN!" sabay turo sa taas. At ayun nga ang mist machine. Kasi, bakit pa nagtransform sa liquid form yung mga iba eh. Nanisi? Hahaha!

Ang saya lang talaga lately. Wala na ang stress. I feel that my life is back on track.

Ah, btw, iniiendorse ko nga pala ang blog ni Pet. Nakakatawa talaga sya, as in. Naririnig ko nga boses nya habang binabasa ko eh. Tsaka may mga entries dun na napapakanta na lang ako ng, "Memories, all along in the moonlight!" Ay. Mali ba lyrics? Sige, "Thnks fr th mmrs" na lang. Haha. Medyo reminisce mode nga ako kahapon. Nakakamiss din kahit papaano pero I won’t give up what I have right now for what I had back then. Di ba di ba di ba? :D

I’m happy to say that I’m very much happy (lol, redundant) and very much in love. Took me a while to realize things. I’ve never felt so loved before, really…

He calls me love. He calls me princess. He promised never to leave me and I never felt so much secure. He never breaks a promise, after all. He is amazing. He is wonderful. He is everything I ever wanted and more.

I would like to share with you guys our song.

"Everything You Want"

-Vertical Horizon-

Somewhere there’s speaking
It’s already coming in
Oh and it’s rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you’re here and you don’t know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won’t return

[Chorus]
He’s everything you want
He’s everything you need
He’s everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don’t know why

You’re waiting for someone
To put you together
You’re waiting for someone to push you away
There’s always another wound to discover
There’s always something more you wish he’d say

[Chorus]

But you’ll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It’s only what you’re asking for
And you’ll be just fine
With all of your time
It’s only what you’re waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won’t return

[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why
Why
I don’t know

it’s one of those pointless posts again. sheesh

I’m currently waiting for my photographers to upload the pictures taken from our shoot at Gazebo Royale yesterday.

But I have this feeling that they’re still all asleep. Tsk tsk tsk. Must be all that wine.
:D
I’m still so happy! I love my new model/actress life.

probably my first ever entry that narrates my day

This is probably one of the looooongest days I had so far. I. Can. Remember.

It started out last Friday, really. Went to my Film112 class at one, went home at exactly four, got all dressed up for the requiem mass of Mrs. Pascua and flew to STC around five.

I looked so respectable. I swear. I even almost forgot that I’m this evil, evil queen of deception. Anyways, everyone there was like, “Oh, you grew up so fast!” and “Dalaga ka na!” and “Gumaganda ah! Buti na lang, di nagmana sa nanay”… But the most common comment wasn’t a comment at all, rather, a peck or a squeeze in the cheeks. And yes, they all did say that I grew up beautifully. (Wag po tayo mayabangan; Nagnanarrate lang po)

All my GS teachers were there and so were my HS teachers. Was happy to see, well, everyone, actually. All of the teachers and alumnae made me feel like I’m home again and made me remember who I was and all.

Around nine that night, we went to Razons Banawe for dinner and I paid for my meal. (My mom forgot to bring money! Gah!)

We went home around ten and I stayed up all night online, talking to Doreen (loves her, really) Ivy, BA, Judd, Keisei, Aileen and other people. Slept at two.

Next day, woke up at six. Slept again.

Woke up at seven. Slept again.

Woke at eight. Shouted loungs out and started to panic and frantically stuffed two “change outfits” for the events that I would attend.

Arrived around half past nine at STC for the STAA (St. Theresa’s Alumnae Association) General Assembly. I was the batch representative for ‘06 and was the youngest alumna. I discovered that Ronnie Velasco, director and writer for the movie, Inang Yaya, was a Theresian. The director for the Cinemalaya entry, Still Life, was also a Theresian. Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, founder of PETA, was also a Theresian. Owner or Jollibee Banawe was also a Theresian. Grabe. Parang soro ang STAA. We’re everywhere talaga!!!

And knowing about all these people reaffirmed my belief in myself. I too can make a difference in this world. As a Theresian, I should let my let shine and be a blessing. Tagline e! hehehe

Oh yeah, may website na ang STAA.

Meeting ended at half past twelve. (Won in the raffle! Won a book entitled Biyaheng FX! Author, who’s also a Theresian, signed it! Yay!)

Took a taxi with Ate Frances, batch rep of ‘02, to the office. Arrived at office at exactly one. Had the focus group discussion with Ate Aloy, our former bureau manager and also, with Bea Lee, Anj, Hanna. Topic was about sex and the church. (At may isyu pa na late dumating ang inorder naming lunch from Chowking!)

Finished FGD around three. Bea went home, leaving Ate Astrid, Hanna and I to shoot. So around four, we went around the CP Garcia playground and started MOS-ing people. Wow. Ang dali hatakin ng mga tao that day! Amazing talaga! Tapos we went to Vinzons, where Hanna took a jeep to meet with her Aunt sa Crossings. So it was just me and Ate Astrid who met Pet at Vanguard for the interview.

Around five, we interviewed Pet at the hall near Cine Adarna. We finished in an hour and went back to the office.

We unpacked, I put some make-up on and went to Philcoa an hour later, where K.Lim was waiting for me. She took me to Gazebo Royale. This was where Abi’s debut was celebrated.

The Gazebo Royale was… magical? Well, the theme was magic and the table names were spells from HP. My table was Expelliarmus. Lol. Hya wanted to sit at the Avada Kedavra table. And she did! :D
Had mighty good fun with HS friends. Only one thing pissed me off - it was a formal attire debut and I was wearing semi-formal. Sheesh, why am I always a victim of dress codes? Ay, tsaka yung emcee kept mispornouncing HP terms and people’s names. And I happen to notice that she’s very fond of the word “lovely”. Like, “… now let’s meet her lovely brother, her lovely mom, her lovely sister.. isn’t it lovely? Oh now let’s applaud this lovely lady. Now, this lovely gift…” ROFLMAO.

Anyways, for some strange reason, had more fun than usual. Felt so at peace. It’s nice. It’s kinda like HS all over again.

Was part of 18 shots. Drank wine. Woohoo! Di ako nalasing, infernez. Tas became a proxy for Ashley who went home early. After the debut, photoshoot uli! Loveit. Loveit. Loveit.

It was half past midnight when I came home. Nakisabay kay Freya pauwi. Ang saya talaga. This is one of the loveliest days ever. Lovely, lovely, lovely. (nakakahawa yung emcee na yun! babatukan ko talaga yun! XD)

this song fits you more than it fits me

I adore Fallout Boy. So, here’s another testimony that they know me personally. . .

Er, must cut back on the hallucinogens. Righto!

"Fame < Infamy"

I’m a preacher sweating in the pews
For the salvation I’m bringing you
I’m a salesman, I’m selling you hooks and plans
And myself making demands

When I’m home alone I just dance by myself
And you pull my head so close volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen"
The kid was alright but it went to his head

I am God’s gift but why would he bless me with
Such wit without a conscience equipped
I’m addicted to the way I feel when I think of you, woah
"There’s too much green to feel blue"

When I’m home alone I just can’t stop myself
And you pull my head so close volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen"
The kid was alright but it went to his head

When I’m home alone I just can’t stop myself
And you pull my head so close volume goes with the truth
Signing off "I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen"
I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen
I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen
The kid was alright but it went to his head

of ice creams and sugar-coated marshmallows

Sense doesn’t make sense lately.

Had a trip back to the past. It was fun, actually. Saw some people again and it’s kind of refreshing for everybody to treat you exactly how you want to be treated.

HP is love. I forgive you, Dan. The kiss was totally just part of your job. I’ll take you back now. Be my prince again.

I feel so… I have no idea. I blame the five bottles of Valium I basically snacked upon the past few days.

O.o

Kidding!

What happened this morning was very cleansing. I’ll be doing it again and I’ll get through the day. I just know it.

(What this is, feel free to comment and I’ll gladly reply. Personally.)

Friday the thirteenth, here I come.

Contrapasso is one of my favorite words. In my world, it is a noun, an adjective, a verb and a sentence by itself.

Contrapasso means counter-suffering.

Contrapasso is self retribution.

I was wrong; I am my own contrapasso.
