My Baguio Trip
I feel very hot. Dehydrated? Hmm...and that halo-halo seemed like days ago...
Anyway my recent trip to Baguio was a brief but satisfactory adventure- something I haven't had in a very long time.
We went there tuesday am...came back friday night due to some important business of my ma.
My company: Shane and my Ma
We rode: The bus (actually Shane's fam knows the owner of the bus company but somehow we didn't get free tickets, hahahaha)
I felt glad because public transpo means a great adventure to me, hehehe...and I'll get to see the bus station, which I hardly ever set foot on...
So we went there. Shane and I were the only adventurers of the family then, and the guys only wanted to play basketball, pc...didn't want to get tired, so kami nga lang ang game sumama kay mama. Isang pakay na rin kasi namin is mabisita ung dad ni mama, si gwakong ko, who just transfered there from Cagayan. And along with that goal is our determination to get out of Manila and have fun.
After debating on what stuff to carry, we set off...using good old exercise and public transpo...hahahaha. Upon arriving sa station, nangalap kami ng insan ko ng bogchi for the trip, plus kumain ng rice in a box for brunch (hindi kami kumain kasi super excited? hehe).
We trio decided on the spot where our first stop was, baguio or down at pangasinan where a lot of our relatives lived too. I made an agreement then while falling in line for the tickets: we go for where the bus is available earlier.
Baguio was leaving only 20 mins after the dagupan trip, so we opted for the baguio para diretso na...I was guessing na hindi lanh ako ang atat na umakyat sa bundok kasi ang init tlg. At gusto ko na makita ulit so gwakong.
Trip!!!
So ayun trip trip. On the way naasar tlg ako kasi biro nyo ba nmn sa lht ng pding iplay sa radyo un pang oldies (ala transistor ang dating, so im guessing that the driver's either a big gay fan or simply a probinsyano). Kasi naman bakit puro olivia newton-john at john travolta ang nasa radyo, dun ako nagtaka...nagpaparinig na nga kami ng pinsan ko, hahahaha!
Tapos siguro after three hours ata biglang may stopover, sa tarlac. Dumami pasahero. Then inon na nila ung tv. I was like, yes, may palabas, whee...until I saw the dvd theme...
John Travolta 8-in-1 Greatest Collection.
I stood up, left my bus seat by the aisle and jumped on the bus driver, grabbing him by the collar, "How can anyone take this?!! Grr...AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Who the fag framed this torture trip!!!??? AAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Ahem...my rich imagination did that to me, but no, kidding, hahaha. Thank God...kasi Face-off naman pla ung palabas, yei...I've always known that it was a great movie kaso never ko pa nakita ung start. So I watched. Si Shane ang trip feelgood movie so medyo uniterested nung una, but later hayun nanood na rin.
Maganda rin pla ung may movie kasi hindi ko na narealize nung andun na kmi. But it took another John Travolta movie after face-off and a good hour's wait (which made me tear up a bit and made shane cry, hahaha) before we got reached our destination. It also helped that shane was amusing me with her company, charming little lady, that baliw...
Arrival!!!
Pag dating sa Baguio, stretch legs, parang nawala kasi, hahaha...ayun e di taxi, ask directions kay gwakong, madali lng pla, nyehehe.
Conditions:
Malamig. :P Kaso sa pagtatanong ko, this kind of lamig is too hot for the people there, as in si Goku ko nagkakasakit na dahil 'mainit' daw. Come on, let them try Manila weather, hahaha!
Supposedly surprise ang visit namin kaso dahil si Dii magaling, binulgar ang aming pagpunta kay Sa-i ko, ayun, e di expected pala kami.
At sa totoo ayaw ni Mama ko matulog dun sa bahay na yun (let's just say it's a Cinderella-stepmother situation), kasi andun yung step- um, I mean new wife ni Gwakong (ours is a VERY extended family tree, believe me...).
Pero dahil nag-insist si Gwakong at nwlan ng options si Ma, so in the end ntulog kming tatlo dun.
First trip:
Pag dating namin sa house by taxi, sinalubong kami ni Gwakong and his very famous chinese music...grabe, music niya chinese instrumentals abot rinig up to the next street...may mga nagsside comments na nga hahaha.
Well, he's from china and he's worked as a chinese teacher and principal, so what the heck, it's normal...I guess.
After eating a lot and dropping our stuff, roll kami SM baguio, yey! At yun, kumain ng pizza, sightseeing...ganda kya ng night scene from the balcony there, lamig and kita ung most of the city kasi mataas yung place...
At naturuan ko na si Shane mag dancemaniax. :P Una ayaw niya, kaso later on esp. thursday she's gonna love it...
Tapos uwi. Tulog. Kita si Goku, Laku, Sa-i...they were very thrilled to see us. Una chika, di ko tlg sila ka-close, so whatever, I tried to distract myself by reading pugad baboy and watching tv. Pero malay ko ba, I was attracted to the warmth of the crowd, so maya-maya naki-join na ko sa room and late na kmi sleep.
Next Day:
Still don't want to go. Visited a very fun village, igorot village called Tam-Awan. Cute nipas, bamboo bridges which mama feared but I loved, yeah...the minikubos were ready for occupancy.
Satur, our YFC taxi driver, took us there but not before telling us a joke na hindi naman bumenta, hahahaha...well he's sport enough to admit it right after, nyehehehe.
Kaso for some reason nairita si mama sa akin, kasi naman i was too adventurous, wanted to go higher into the village, pataas kasi...konti na lang people sa taas eh...
We were about to go next to Wright Park, but the sky wasn't so happy about it...umulan, as is with every afternoon daw dun. So we told the taxi to turn around, punta SM. Kain kami Goldi. Tapos uwi na, pagod na ata ang inay ko.
Night Mischief:
Ako ay naging spoiled brat kay Laku, who is just two years older than I am. I texted him to bring white chocolates coz i was craving for that, and he brought home a bag of them from 7-11...lots of them, but I quickly made a go at the toblerone white, nyahahaha...
Tapos maya nung dvd time na I carelessly voiced out that I was craving white mocha frap...and he bought me a tall cup of it shortly. Medyo natawa na natouch na nakonsensya...spoiled ako?! Noooo...*sips frap* ;p
Napagalitan ako ni ma kasi overtime daw kami sa gising, watching Yu Yu kasi with Laku and Sa-i, tapos nagkkuwento sila and I got carried away with their tales. Ma said nakakahiya daw kami coz we supposed to let them sleep!
But honestly they had wanted us to stay longer...despite my protests earlier...
Senti People:
Si Shane at si Laku, umiyak...kasi sabi ni mama baka alis na daw bukas ng umaga, going to bangus festival in dagupan, pangasinan.
Ma placed the decision on me, because she was getting indecisive. I had wanted to go, but with the warmth of the company...I thought twice about it.
Next day:
Adik. Woke up too late. Mga almost ten na when I woke up, felt kind of woozy because of lack of sleep. I told shane to stop crying, texted laku my thanks.
And due to some inconveniences, we went to sm and wright park instead of going to pangasinan. We had lunch at kfc sm and stayed long at the top floor. ma watched some cool shows there while shane and I went to quantum na malapit doon para magbabad sa dance machine. :P
I took a pic of the baguio sunset and waited for my ma to give the go home signal.
A very long night:
It was sort of festive when we returned. We walked home from SM, hahaha...kinda tiring because Baguio is a landscape of ups and downs, so we had to fight gravity or move cautiously with it. But we did make it, panting yet happy with the fun workout.
When we arrived the trio kids were there, complete! Goku, Laku, and Sa-i. Una chika. Goku kachika ko while we shared another toblerone white from yesterday's bag of goodies. He then decided to buy food first.
Later when it was almost 8, everyone sat down to eat, which was a rarity there. I realized that Gwakong was thrilled with that occasion. I can see na namiss niya yung mga anakers niya.
Habang kumakain, nagbulgaran ng mga kalokohan. Ako nakipagbanatan kay shane to the point that she was out of breath with laughter, kasi hindi siya makaexplain, hahahahahaha!
After preparing for the night, ma brought out her digicam and fired away...taking shots of us in different moods and poses...even using the timer so mama could join in. We even had a video session. My mother is soo weird...mostly in a good way, hehehe. *shrugs*
Texas chainsaw massacre...
It was a dvd that I regret wasting my time on...I watched half of it with everybody until I realized that it was too gory and pointless so I left the room with my cell.
A night to remember:
I went out on the balcony, took pictures of the night scene, and called repareps. I dunno why it had to be then...maybe because I missed him or maybe because this baguio thing was perfect for a mini retreat for me to think of my life and fix my issues with him..?
We had a talk...I discussed my reservations about him...ayun, ok naman, at asaran galore na naman. At nung nagalit na si mama, e di babay. :P
Moving on:
At ayun na nga, umalis na kami ng baguio. We would have stayed longer had it not been for ma's business and shane's dad. After eating one of my absolute fave bfasts- boneless bangus of pangasinan- we headed to the station and took the bus to dagupan.
We visited the cemetery, went to jollibee for lunch, and went to the hospital to visit ma's aunt, lola salva, who turned out to have gone for baguio just that morning in the ambulance (she's working in that hospital).
Tapos nag-beach ang mga iha...
Wala, nagtampisaw sa tubig, naglaro ng buhangin, inenjoy ang clear blue skies and fresh salty air and h20. Then nung nakapagpalit na kami sa cottage, uwi na talaga. Sad but true.
I hate endings:
Umuwi kami nang tahimik. Pangit pa ung show, di ko type- 007. I don't like such movies, so ayun, nagchikahan galore na lang kami ni shane, reviewing the trip and our lives in school...our text messages...ayun.
Tapos bumaba kami sa Munoz kung san binuksan ung bag ni shane, pero nasa kin ung wallet niya at nakay mama ung cell niya so wlang kinuha.:P
Nung nasa house na kami ni diku, ung papa ni shane, dumating si sahia and si arvin, sumusundo sa min. We chatted inside for a while and then left the place.

my 20th birthday experience
On April 25, 2007, 11:53pm, I became 2 decades old. Hahahaha. Too young to be a fossil and yet...
Anyway, after downing my special hot adobo with a liter of coke right out of the bottle (yeah, no holds barred with my brunchie, hehehe), I am now set for my storytelling. Kakanta na ang bruhang bilanggo sa malabon, hahahaha!
Let's do a timeline, so it'd be fun. Oh yeah...
4-23-07: Nauna ng bumati ang aking favorite girl cousin na si Shane (more than a week na kasi nagbabakasyon with us ung three cousins ko to this date). Wala lang, gusto lang tlgng mauna, hahahaha.
Sumunod na rin OL from Vancouver ang family ni Saku, Sakim, at ni Leslie- another girl cousin of mine, the tenth and youngest sa Chua clan, in fact. This is when I was feeling the sad mood coming on, maybe because of my impending 20th...
4-24-07: Tumawag ang unexpected friend ko, si Jefferson. He's such a darling, ang sweet nga eh. I was playing tetris when he called me up. So chinika ko na rin, ayun, inasar ako until I felt happy na. After about an hour he had to go eat dinner, promising to greet me later pa rin para happy, hehehe. :)
Weirdo-
Ma accused me of being so weird then. She kept giving me that 'oh what are you?' look with my cousin Shane.
Honestly I dunno why but I sure noticed it too- parang nagbabago ang air ko sa house. Normally I'm not too expressive with myself (unless it's full-blast frustration) under the roof, but recently, especially during the week of my birthday, nagiging weird ang galaw ko, aka being so dramatic and singsong...2 examples-
Scene 1-
Ma intensely playing tetris on DVD. Me just going out my room, holding big blue basin.
Me: (jumps up and down alone) Dadadadadadada...nothing in this world can stop us tonight, I can do what she can do so much better... (a la Paris Hilton)
Ma: (catching my eyes with her weird look) Ano na naman yan...(laughs out)
Me: (stops, not getting her point) What? (tapos I got it) Eh bakit ba, I'm just expressing myself freely...(laughs)
Scene 2-
Finished brushing my teeth with my fave Colgate flavor. Shane and Ma still outside playing tetris on DVD.
Me: (with hands outstretched and hopping towards my room) Yeah, icycool paradise! (Jay-R TV toothpaste commercial)
Shane and Ma: (exchange weird look)
Shane: Atsi!!!
Me: What? (this time I get it more quickly) Eh, bakit ba, mind your own business, I'm being more expressive, hmph...
Ma: (ignoring me) Hay, ganyan siguro Shane kapag magbebente na...(laughs)
Me: Ganun? (laughs) Fine...
Hmm...it must be my 20ness. I hate to admit it, but yeah, maybe that's a factor, hehehe. At least I'm not being grumpy, right? Pero fine, weird nga...
4-25-07
(12:03am): I was listlessly going over my emails and some blogs when Jep textd me happy birthday with a twist of mockery. I know I should feel insulted na he called me 'tita anni' pero I felt happy with the thought. Kasi nauna siya.
(12:10am): Nagtext si Therese, another close friend of mine. Cute text. :) Pero at this point I was honestly hoping for four particular people to to text me...
A Surprise-
(12:15am): Shane was anxiously pulling me out of the computer chair. When the corner of her lips quivered into a sly grin, I smiled and realized that there was a plan set for midnight. I came out with her lighting up a small white candle (which I use for the stove when it doesn't light up) and with everyone singing happy birthday to me (except Arvin na natulog na).
I shyly (yeah right) smiled in my favorite pjs as my mami brought out her digicam and took shots of all of us by the kitchen doorway.
Gifts and Goodies-
When I thought that that was all, biglang nilabas ni mami ung gift niya, then si dii rin pla meron. I set my utensils down and started opening my gifts. Ung kay dii- hard bible case na matagal ko nang gusto at need, plus a rubber bee cellphone chain that said, 'be thankful always.'
Ung kay mama medyo naintriga ako, kasi previously si shane nag-drop na ng hints sa akin about a surprise. So medyo alam ko na na it's something 'kiligabol'. Hahahahaha. I opened the plain-looking box and playfully pouted when torn graphing papers and testpapers fell out. But when I grabbed a fistful of the shreds, I picked out the first album of...guess who!- Dennis Trillo!!!
And I was ecstatic about it. I mean come on, how many moms out there actually give a thought of whom their daughters go gaga with? Yeah, I say my ma's such a terrif mom- she gave me exactly what I wanted. I appreciate the thought so much that if I didn't have that pride there I'd throw myself at her for a great big barney hug (eeww). I didn't want to spoil the gift yet so I lovingly put it away for next-day observation.
Tapos bogchi na kmi sa birthday noodles at two whole chickens na binili ni Sahia earlier nung nag-'gym' daw siya when in fact he went to Causeway to get them.
Daytime Greetings-
(12:20am): Nagtext na rin si Jrep, finally!!! And I thought he was asleep. (Hindi pa nacontento finlood pa ung YM box ko with greetings later in the day.) Two days later he told me he textd at 12:10 (sa kanila). Fine, basta hindi siya ang nauna, bleh!!!:P
And the day went...sa paggising ko nagtext si Andrei (ni Yanilovs ko), chinika ko konti thru txt. Tapos si papa sa phone, tagtext pa uli later.
Then si KR...at si Ed Cel, na kinagulat ko tlg pero super appreciate ko. Si Des a week before bumati na in person. Si Herschel just two days ago, by phone. Si Donya by YM, bumati.
(Before noon): Si Arvin shoti ko, Bern, Timms (new friend ko), Sha, Ian, Jordi, Yani (with Andrei and Nessa), Siku, Kev, Dihia, Ahia, Albert (bro ko), Andrew, Tif (na alam kong gimik tlgng maging latest para cool, hahaha).
Si Odi, Julie, Jill (kabatch ni Thea). Si Ja, Paulo, and Os two days later. Then si Alwin- na miss ko na super. Si Riema at bully Tadzy, sa YM while I'm offline bumati rin. Si Tita Mikee (the breeder friend of mama who sold us Lebron)- greeted me with a comment sa Friendster ko, hahaha...cute!
Allegedly si Mon, pero hindi ko natanggap(sayang!). But I know he's aware of the occasion, so thank you na rin sa kanya. Si Shuri naghuggalicious sa kin when we met two days later. Si Paulo- one of the four expected kong unang babati, forgot- I think. But he compensated naman when he showed up sa mall tour two days later- which I will talk about further down.
Dinner With Mi Papa-
(8:30pm): Of course, sa pagdikta ni Amang Hari (aka my Sahia- bansag ni mama sa kanya yan kasi ang sinasabi niya mostly nagiging parang batas), kumain kami sa Causeway, as planned. Minus mama, of course. I protested nung umaga kasi yoko la si mama, pero si sahia, mapilit at inobliga si papa as my father, so fine, we went. Sumunod si Dihia, coming all the way from katipunan.
It was rather fun kasi ang tagal na naming hindi naggagather nang ganun. Si sahia, malay ko ba, nag-order ng super dami. Masarap, pero too much for me, I think- at FACT: Hindi ako kumain all day, save for a serving of Halo2 in the afternoon, so dapat di ba gutom ako? Hehehe. Hey, fyi not dieting, pero siguro sa pakikinig ko dun sa album ni Dennis eh nawala na sa isip kong kumain at puro chorva na lang ang inatupagers...hahaha.
Pag-uwi I received my birthday cash- the value which I intend to withhold here. Not much, but it was enough for a simple happy birthday girl.
A Biting Note c/o The Rat-
Umuwi ako, happy and heavy, though a bit sad na we went our separate ways for the night. Checked my computer stuff, YM with people- until I talked with rep there. He said to take a look at my friendster account.
I was thinking it'd be some corny roast sh*t he composed there, but then I felt euphoric when I finally found the webpage he was referring to. After reading it I forgot about my unresolved birthday anticipations...replaced with such a feeling of unexplainable happiness that rendered me speechless all night. I simply told repa goodnight and refused to comment online then.
4-26-07
We visited mendiola house and my cousins' place to get clothes and stuff...honestly it was a good way to move out for a while, kasi when we went off biglang dumating si Ape, Papa, and si Ahia- which I'm sure my ma didn't want to see anytime. So ayun, habang nag-aayos ng bahay, andun kami. Sinamahan ko sa SM north si Ma for some stuff. Nung gabi umalis na kami.
Tampuhan Blues-
Hindi ko alam na invited pla kami sa 40 days (after death) ng lolo ni Shane. Kung hindi lang dahil sa meeting namin ng sjfriends next day I'd willingly go, pero ayun, hindi pdi. Nagtampo si mama- said I didn't ask for her permission when in fact three times ko tinanong a week before.
4-27-07
Eto sched ng sjfriends miting sa mall of asia. At the same time birthday blowout ko na rin. Although initially last week 20something ung invited, Rep and I narrowed it down to about ten later kasi sila lang ang pwede. Tapos at the last minute, nag-cancel si Herschel dahil may emercengy.
So for this occasion, here is the final list of those who attended (in order of arrival sa moa)-
The SJ Peepz Magic Circle of Ten:
1. Os (two hours waiting, napunta na sa French Baker js as we came in)
2. Jep (biglang pmunta despite his class na 3pm sa admu)
3. Bern (umaga nag-text, nauna pa sa kin)
4. Shuri (magkasama ata sila ni Bern)
5. Rep (sinundo pa ko from my house, so I owe him my attendance)
6. Me (the bday gal, of course)
7. Therese (muntik na di nakarating- sinundo pa namin sa SM San Lazaro, san ka pa, hahaha)
8. Tif (humabol ah, fresh from UP class)
9. Monching (friend niya, second time ko nakita, classmate ni Tif sa UP)
10.Paulo (despite school disturbances, nakarating at around 5 na ata)
Ayun. So as scheduled nagkita kami ni Jrep sa bahay ko, mga 10:40 am na ata. Sinundo namin si Therese sa San Lazaro, then go straight kami sa moa. Kakahiya nga kay repareps eh, I forgot to bring barya so on the way siya ang gumasta para sa kin. Nung kumain na ng lunch tska na ko nagbayad. KFC ang craving ko at dahil fit sa blowout budget ko, that's what we ordered.
Initially puro hugs, kisses, kwento, asaran, at kulitan. Ung iba sa min nagpapakalambingers like Shuri, who voiced out her desire to sit beside me(or the other way around), much to my laughter. Pero I so got weirded out when the voluptuous babe (I called her that then) later on kissed me by the neck upon saying farewell...creepy, funny...whatever!
Jep had to go a bit later after lunch because of his 3pm class in admu. So after thanking him so much for his thoughfulness and consideration, we bid him farewell. At lumusob na kami ng arcade after pic shots and washroom commotions.
Arcade Galore:
Understood naman na dahil kasama ko tong batch na ito eh puros fun to the max sa quantum ang gagawin namin all afternoon. As usual, after loading with rep's card (ay, sorry tlg pare, next time I will buy my own powercard), nagbabad ako sa Dancemania with my friends.
Un iba sa min na super crowd-gatherer ng Drummania (Bern at Shuri), e di naglaro, at surely namangha ako sa galing nila.
Si rep at os nag-timecrisis (medyo na-inggit ako kasi sabi ko kami ni rep dapat, finsh that game from start). May air hockey session rin kami na super funny kasi ang saya ng teamups. I teamed with Tif, lost and won some...but we had the same wavelength of move sa table so ok kami.
Fire on the Dancefloor-
Dumating si Mon when I got tired. Now, intro ko- Mon is a great dancer. At namaster niya na before ang Dancemania, so I got some moves from him. This time is no exception. Kahit na one sem na siyang hindi naglalaro, we pushed him to go and there he went, sayaw super and people from outside even halted to watch him groove.
I tried to copy some moves from him, but couldn't execute it kasi super naconscious ako when we play it together na. Pero I say na from the first time namin nagkita na super la ako lam, I certainly improved a lot. :)
Os is a great hataw king, and with mon, gumiling ang dalawa, talo pa girls sa kalambutan. Os dared, "Kembot ka." I was like, "(still playing) No! Conscious ako!" He exclaimed, "Eh kung kami nga ni Mon, lalaki kami, walang hiya, kumekembot-!" Something like that, a realization on my part, which made me laugh.
Si Tif naman game sa innov, with much support from our crowd, at nung nagtry siyang gumamit ng head, I followed suit, and nahawa na rin ako sa iba-iba pang styles ni expert Mon, hehehe.
Later Paulo arrived, much to my thrill. I invited him to play along (second time niya so mild lang kami). He was game, which is great. And I think a bit more and mahhook na rin yun. It must be because we were rooting for each other as a group. And I think he needs the break rin after his school stuff (required siya mag-summer class, so he has no long vacation).
We danced and danced. The only baddie about this is that, super akong pinawisan. La poise!!!
But you know me, don't really seem to care as long as I'm having fun at it...parang workout nga eh! At- nakakawala ng hiya, which still happens to be my one occasional problem in school and outside.
Ay, if my mother only knew I could do this now..!
One Lost-
I noticed in the middle of the arcade biz, nawala si Repa. I began to ask the people of his whereabouts, but none could tell where he really went. I felt a bit frustrated kasi I had been wanting to play 5 full rounds of music with him and defeat him there once and for all.
Akala ko nag-CR. So fine, I played with the others while I waited. Balak ko na pagalitan, hahaha.
Tapos biglang bumaba from the escalator, may dalang something. Well kahit di ko pa lam kung ano un, I knew it was a present for me, as he informed me at his arrival.
Sa totoo lang I was caught unguarded with such a surprise that I felt ashamed. Nahiya ako para sa kanya kasi feel ko he felt obliged to get me a gift kasi ung ibang people nagdala (?). Pero fine, whatever his reason was, I did thank him later, although sa totoo lang he didn't really need to do that.
Beard Papa's cream puffs-
At bern's incessant pleadings we sat in front of Beard Papa's store. Now, I'll let you in on a trivia- I am not fond of pastries. So when we bought those 50-peso apiece cream puffs na alam kong dapat super yummy, I only finished half and gave it to rep, kasi hindi talaga ako mahilig. Sayang, sana pla inuwian ko si sahia kasi lam ko fave niya un. But I had to save my money so I didn't. Next time, dapat...
Clowning in the Car-
After talking for a while at bumalik na ang ilan sa min from timezone (hahaha hindi pa nakapagbabad mabuti sa quantum), we had to plan on going home. It turns out na karamihan pala sa min hindi pa planado kung pano umuwi. So ayun, pinag-usapan.
Si Pau 5 mins drive lng ang home away from the place, so no prob. And being helpful, he offered us a ride to lrt. kaso ang prob eight kami at the time (minus shuri who had to meet up with bf habs before going to hk tomorrow with bern, and jep who already went home) and his car's only for four people minus the driver.
I was willing to go ride the jeep somewhere in case we didn't fit, but then dahil na rin mapilit si bern, tif, at therese, sumama na rin ako. Si Mon hiwalay, so that made us seven. Tif and thea took the front seat. The guys sat behind.
Madaya si Bern kasi umupo siya sa tabi nila and I had to sit on her lap! Kung hindi lang kami close, ay nko...nahiya talaga ako- I mean mas matanda kasi ako so I thought dapat ako ang kakandong sa kanya. Tapos what made it worse was, on the fun way eh ginugulo ako ni Bern with her lesbian tendencies, aka moving unacceptably with such a small place (don't get me started with that). Hahahaha.
Ayun. And home we went. Si bern nagpipilit pa rin ng beach outing (na impossible tlg ako sumama dahil kay mami). It was honestly hard for me to go separate ways with them.
I texted them my thanks when I got back. I fixed myself, surveyed my gifts...
Gifts-
Bern's present of a red doll from toy kingdom was very mature (you know it's ironic, haha) and touching, because she bothered to make a quick yet thoughtful choice. But she really got me with that work of love (which I'm a total sucker for)- a self-made red jelly (which turned salmon pink when she added the milk, and had no sugar because she forgot, hahahaha).
But really, it was good enough for my taste (I took a shaking spoonful prior to chilling it in the fridge)
Os's cutie bear from bearhugs was unexpectedly nice, coz it brought back memories of my own bears. I liked Pau's book gift, kasi tagal ko na like ung author, si Coelho. At yung pasalubong from China, xiexie!
Si Tif and Therese, di ko lam kung matutuwa ako o maiinsulto ako sa gift nila, kasi naman according to Thea nung nakita daw nila to naicp nila ako...ay, weird! Hahahaha!
Anyway, after downing my special hot adobo with a liter of coke right out of the bottle (yeah, no holds barred with my brunchie, hehehe), I am now set for my storytelling. Kakanta na ang bruhang bilanggo sa malabon, hahahaha!
Let's do a timeline, so it'd be fun. Oh yeah...
4-23-07: Nauna ng bumati ang aking favorite girl cousin na si Shane (more than a week na kasi nagbabakasyon with us ung three cousins ko to this date). Wala lang, gusto lang tlgng mauna, hahahaha.
Sumunod na rin OL from Vancouver ang family ni Saku, Sakim, at ni Leslie- another girl cousin of mine, the tenth and youngest sa Chua clan, in fact. This is when I was feeling the sad mood coming on, maybe because of my impending 20th...
4-24-07: Tumawag ang unexpected friend ko, si Jefferson. He's such a darling, ang sweet nga eh. I was playing tetris when he called me up. So chinika ko na rin, ayun, inasar ako until I felt happy na. After about an hour he had to go eat dinner, promising to greet me later pa rin para happy, hehehe. :)
Weirdo-
Ma accused me of being so weird then. She kept giving me that 'oh what are you?' look with my cousin Shane.
Honestly I dunno why but I sure noticed it too- parang nagbabago ang air ko sa house. Normally I'm not too expressive with myself (unless it's full-blast frustration) under the roof, but recently, especially during the week of my birthday, nagiging weird ang galaw ko, aka being so dramatic and singsong...2 examples-
Scene 1-
Ma intensely playing tetris on DVD. Me just going out my room, holding big blue basin.
Me: (jumps up and down alone) Dadadadadadada...nothing in this world can stop us tonight, I can do what she can do so much better... (a la Paris Hilton)
Ma: (catching my eyes with her weird look) Ano na naman yan...(laughs out)
Me: (stops, not getting her point) What? (tapos I got it) Eh bakit ba, I'm just expressing myself freely...(laughs)
Scene 2-
Finished brushing my teeth with my fave Colgate flavor. Shane and Ma still outside playing tetris on DVD.
Me: (with hands outstretched and hopping towards my room) Yeah, icycool paradise! (Jay-R TV toothpaste commercial)
Shane and Ma: (exchange weird look)
Shane: Atsi!!!
Me: What? (this time I get it more quickly) Eh, bakit ba, mind your own business, I'm being more expressive, hmph...
Ma: (ignoring me) Hay, ganyan siguro Shane kapag magbebente na...(laughs)
Me: Ganun? (laughs) Fine...
Hmm...it must be my 20ness. I hate to admit it, but yeah, maybe that's a factor, hehehe. At least I'm not being grumpy, right? Pero fine, weird nga...
4-25-07
(12:03am): I was listlessly going over my emails and some blogs when Jep textd me happy birthday with a twist of mockery. I know I should feel insulted na he called me 'tita anni' pero I felt happy with the thought. Kasi nauna siya.
(12:10am): Nagtext si Therese, another close friend of mine. Cute text. :) Pero at this point I was honestly hoping for four particular people to to text me...
A Surprise-
(12:15am): Shane was anxiously pulling me out of the computer chair. When the corner of her lips quivered into a sly grin, I smiled and realized that there was a plan set for midnight. I came out with her lighting up a small white candle (which I use for the stove when it doesn't light up) and with everyone singing happy birthday to me (except Arvin na natulog na).
I shyly (yeah right) smiled in my favorite pjs as my mami brought out her digicam and took shots of all of us by the kitchen doorway.
Gifts and Goodies-
When I thought that that was all, biglang nilabas ni mami ung gift niya, then si dii rin pla meron. I set my utensils down and started opening my gifts. Ung kay dii- hard bible case na matagal ko nang gusto at need, plus a rubber bee cellphone chain that said, 'be thankful always.'
Ung kay mama medyo naintriga ako, kasi previously si shane nag-drop na ng hints sa akin about a surprise. So medyo alam ko na na it's something 'kiligabol'. Hahahahaha. I opened the plain-looking box and playfully pouted when torn graphing papers and testpapers fell out. But when I grabbed a fistful of the shreds, I picked out the first album of...guess who!- Dennis Trillo!!!
And I was ecstatic about it. I mean come on, how many moms out there actually give a thought of whom their daughters go gaga with? Yeah, I say my ma's such a terrif mom- she gave me exactly what I wanted. I appreciate the thought so much that if I didn't have that pride there I'd throw myself at her for a great big barney hug (eeww). I didn't want to spoil the gift yet so I lovingly put it away for next-day observation.
Tapos bogchi na kmi sa birthday noodles at two whole chickens na binili ni Sahia earlier nung nag-'gym' daw siya when in fact he went to Causeway to get them.
Daytime Greetings-
(12:20am): Nagtext na rin si Jrep, finally!!! And I thought he was asleep. (Hindi pa nacontento finlood pa ung YM box ko with greetings later in the day.) Two days later he told me he textd at 12:10 (sa kanila). Fine, basta hindi siya ang nauna, bleh!!!:P
And the day went...sa paggising ko nagtext si Andrei (ni Yanilovs ko), chinika ko konti thru txt. Tapos si papa sa phone, tagtext pa uli later.
Then si KR...at si Ed Cel, na kinagulat ko tlg pero super appreciate ko. Si Des a week before bumati na in person. Si Herschel just two days ago, by phone. Si Donya by YM, bumati.
(Before noon): Si Arvin shoti ko, Bern, Timms (new friend ko), Sha, Ian, Jordi, Yani (with Andrei and Nessa), Siku, Kev, Dihia, Ahia, Albert (bro ko), Andrew, Tif (na alam kong gimik tlgng maging latest para cool, hahaha).
Si Odi, Julie, Jill (kabatch ni Thea). Si Ja, Paulo, and Os two days later. Then si Alwin- na miss ko na super. Si Riema at bully Tadzy, sa YM while I'm offline bumati rin. Si Tita Mikee (the breeder friend of mama who sold us Lebron)- greeted me with a comment sa Friendster ko, hahaha...cute!
Allegedly si Mon, pero hindi ko natanggap(sayang!). But I know he's aware of the occasion, so thank you na rin sa kanya. Si Shuri naghuggalicious sa kin when we met two days later. Si Paulo- one of the four expected kong unang babati, forgot- I think. But he compensated naman when he showed up sa mall tour two days later- which I will talk about further down.
Dinner With Mi Papa-
(8:30pm): Of course, sa pagdikta ni Amang Hari (aka my Sahia- bansag ni mama sa kanya yan kasi ang sinasabi niya mostly nagiging parang batas), kumain kami sa Causeway, as planned. Minus mama, of course. I protested nung umaga kasi yoko la si mama, pero si sahia, mapilit at inobliga si papa as my father, so fine, we went. Sumunod si Dihia, coming all the way from katipunan.
It was rather fun kasi ang tagal na naming hindi naggagather nang ganun. Si sahia, malay ko ba, nag-order ng super dami. Masarap, pero too much for me, I think- at FACT: Hindi ako kumain all day, save for a serving of Halo2 in the afternoon, so dapat di ba gutom ako? Hehehe. Hey, fyi not dieting, pero siguro sa pakikinig ko dun sa album ni Dennis eh nawala na sa isip kong kumain at puro chorva na lang ang inatupagers...hahaha.
Pag-uwi I received my birthday cash- the value which I intend to withhold here. Not much, but it was enough for a simple happy birthday girl.
A Biting Note c/o The Rat-
Umuwi ako, happy and heavy, though a bit sad na we went our separate ways for the night. Checked my computer stuff, YM with people- until I talked with rep there. He said to take a look at my friendster account.
I was thinking it'd be some corny roast sh*t he composed there, but then I felt euphoric when I finally found the webpage he was referring to. After reading it I forgot about my unresolved birthday anticipations...replaced with such a feeling of unexplainable happiness that rendered me speechless all night. I simply told repa goodnight and refused to comment online then.
4-26-07
We visited mendiola house and my cousins' place to get clothes and stuff...honestly it was a good way to move out for a while, kasi when we went off biglang dumating si Ape, Papa, and si Ahia- which I'm sure my ma didn't want to see anytime. So ayun, habang nag-aayos ng bahay, andun kami. Sinamahan ko sa SM north si Ma for some stuff. Nung gabi umalis na kami.
Tampuhan Blues-
Hindi ko alam na invited pla kami sa 40 days (after death) ng lolo ni Shane. Kung hindi lang dahil sa meeting namin ng sjfriends next day I'd willingly go, pero ayun, hindi pdi. Nagtampo si mama- said I didn't ask for her permission when in fact three times ko tinanong a week before.

(http://photo.xanga.com/theresechua/a5fe3119468195/photo.html)
Tapos ung 'insult gift' ni Repa (he gave it to me based on what he wrote sa friendster ko, about me being swa kaw sa food, hahahaha), ok naman though I think he must have regretted it kasi later nga I expressed my not being fond of pastries so much...be bought me some fancy (I could tell because of the wraps and presentation) colored special ones, which I still have not tasted...maybe later.
(Pis repa- in case I won't like its taste mamaya- it's the thought that counts, right? Hahahahaha! But I will SURELY inform you of it!!! Bwahahaha)
The Issue of Her Meanness-
Before I close this, I would like to tackle an issue of tif...
Sabi kasi niya sa kin ang mean ko daw kay repareps, which I shortly shared to Rep, much to his glee. I dunno, seryoso ba siya when she accused me of this? (hey, answer me if you read this!)
I suddenly want to know if I'm overabusing (hahaha redundance ba) Sir Nick...of course if I am I'd cut down...but then, that'd take time coz I'm used to just destressing with him.
Seriously I'd try my best to find the answers to this issue, hehehe. Whether tif's right or wrong about it I still owe her my sincere thanks for pointing it out. :)
**to-follow: my little note...pahabol lang naman, hehehe.

Nothing much has changed
I was born at exactly 11:53 pm on April 25, 1987. An earthquake hit manila at that time. How's that for specifications? Hehehe.
Happy birthday to me...happy birthday to me...happy birthday happy birthday...happy birthday to...oh, what am I singing? I'm getting out...
Happy birthday to me...happy birthday to me...happy birthday happy birthday...happy birthday to...oh, what am I singing? I'm getting out...
Birthday ni Arlene
Today is the 36th birthday of my favorite aunt, si Dii aka One-eyed (one-eyed monster, shortened minsan to OEM).
Why the name:
Her friends laugh when they first hear how we call her in public- OEM or one-eyed...hahaha, kasi si arvin may pakana, ung kapatid ko na nagbigay rin ng name ko na Peachie. But it's a derivation of Dii and not with some defect she's got, hahaha...fyi she's got a 20-20 vision.
What makes her special:
I love that woman, ya know? She's been living with us since my brothers came...and she never left, I think. :) Maybe it's because my mother asked her to stay still despite my father not liking her at all due to her loyalty to my ma. Ah, well...and she's taken care of us for so many years, nurturing us with my ma, saving us even at times when my mother was bound to hit us or something...
Sometimes I think ma's perfectly jealous of her. Because we click more than I click with her. Pero un nga, kya nga ako lumalapit sa kanya eh, di ba? Hehehe. Mama..so silly...
And a history of sleeping habits:
And for a long time she's been my roommate. Ktabi ko matulog, pero after mga five years ata , pinagbigyan ko naman si ma at dun naman ako nakikitulog sa kanya, coz she's been all alone since my dad decided to move away.
Kaso recently, because my two younger brothers had to stay sa mendiola house most of the time at alone si sahia sa other room with the extra bed always empty, I bedspace there para hindi siya alone (may nagpapakita kasi dun lalo na pag mag-isa siya). The consequence is that I also see something there, huhuhu.
Aw, well...Christ is good. And yeah, I am such a star in-demand- joke, hahahaha...
So I love this girl:
Anyway back to my aunt- she used to be soo rebellious, but now she's yeah, a pastor...grabe ang influence niya, servant of God talaga ito. She's my prime adviser in times of sadness, at siya yata ang pinakanakakaintindi sa akin sa family, especially when I'm at my worst mood (especially pag nagkakasira na ulo ko sa studies, hehehe). She also reminds me of my relationship with God, particularly when I neglect it when I'm too busy having fun or working too much.
My dearest wish for her:
Though I've said it minsan sa kanya na ayaw ko talaga, I want her to get married na. Ay, I'm sure to cry lots when I let her go (yun nga lang may mga nagkakagusto sa kanya I hate them all na eh) if ever that day comes, pero well...I think she deserves to have her own family to nurture (I'll envy her kids!!!).
Pero kung hindi man ganoon ang plan ni God sa kanya, then (as I've told her) I could still be her favorite little niece na cute enough naman for entertainment, nyehehehe. After all, parang anak niya na rin naman ako, hehehe.
Ayun, so that's it for this entry. Happy birthday Dii, lovyah lots!!!
Why the name:
Her friends laugh when they first hear how we call her in public- OEM or one-eyed...hahaha, kasi si arvin may pakana, ung kapatid ko na nagbigay rin ng name ko na Peachie. But it's a derivation of Dii and not with some defect she's got, hahaha...fyi she's got a 20-20 vision.
What makes her special:
I love that woman, ya know? She's been living with us since my brothers came...and she never left, I think. :) Maybe it's because my mother asked her to stay still despite my father not liking her at all due to her loyalty to my ma. Ah, well...and she's taken care of us for so many years, nurturing us with my ma, saving us even at times when my mother was bound to hit us or something...
Sometimes I think ma's perfectly jealous of her. Because we click more than I click with her. Pero un nga, kya nga ako lumalapit sa kanya eh, di ba? Hehehe. Mama..so silly...
And a history of sleeping habits:
And for a long time she's been my roommate. Ktabi ko matulog, pero after mga five years ata , pinagbigyan ko naman si ma at dun naman ako nakikitulog sa kanya, coz she's been all alone since my dad decided to move away.
Kaso recently, because my two younger brothers had to stay sa mendiola house most of the time at alone si sahia sa other room with the extra bed always empty, I bedspace there para hindi siya alone (may nagpapakita kasi dun lalo na pag mag-isa siya). The consequence is that I also see something there, huhuhu.
Aw, well...Christ is good. And yeah, I am such a star in-demand- joke, hahahaha...

my eyes hurt huhu
peachie grouch morning...
my eyes hurt like some fighting cock sa sabungan (i swear, coz i've seen how those poor fowls look like past surviving a battle- one or two eyes closed, motionless except for breathing)
anyway im having a bit of a level 2 nostalgia and a level 5 irritation today after waking up too early. kagabi kasi we waited for ma to come home, pinatulog muna ang guys at kming tatlo ni mama shane at ako stayed up until 4 am i think dun sa other room, chika galore ng mga anythings, hahahaha...
tapos ginising kami kasi bubungkal na naman sa bathroom doorway at 8, so I was forced to evacuate my bed space and go to the living room, putting my orange towel over myself like some royalty person.
flipping my towel over myself (which I played like a cape- oo na weird ako pag weird hahaha), I sat there like a king and recalled yesterday, smiling to myself...until the worker passed by, seeing me in my infamous 'comfy getup' (think really light clothing). Of course as I was very very pissed with having to get up so early I put up a poker face despite myself and pretended to disregard my shamelessness. After he walked out of sight I stood up and began to make breakfast, placing my towel over my head to pretend to be manny pacman (na parang lamog ang mata), nyehehehe...
*giggle* too much info, ayyy...
anyway masaya sa house, ingay with lots of people and construction going on...playstation kami and some went for pc games...
kanina umulan when I went out on an errand to the store. sinundo ako ni arvin. touched naman si achi...
tapos when i finally had my turn here sa pc, i saw YANI!!! Aw, I really missed her...man, I love that girl sobra. She's so cool...obviously I think highly of that woman, napaka wow sa studies, sa friendships niya, sa sports, at lupet everish sa online games!!! Pero best like ko none of them...it's her kenkoy stance when she cannot decide, hahahaha! I miss that...*sniff*
Anyway I miss my gorgeous birds. Si yani, mark, karl, kr, sy, jo, jords, julie, da...si swallow miss ko na rin ah, haay.
Ay, speaking of which...I am at this point undecided on what to do on my 20th birthday. My goodness, I am 20? man...
I want to plan a day out with my sj friends, of course, as usual nmn...and this year I want a plan out also for my ust friends. And another out for my family sa father side, and another sa magpipinsan.
So tell me what to do, hahahaha...definitely no sleepovers as is the rule, and no swimming kasi sa family outing na namin yun.
I miss herschel- nasan ka na ba? Huhuhuhu...don't leave that special space in my heart for you just yet, hahahaha! mwah! miss you!!! if you read this magparamdam ka!!! hahahaha!
Tif! I love you too! :* I hope you get over that PE thing, hmph, epal. hahahaha.
Cge, til here muna, later duty pa pla for me...yeah yeah busy summah!!!

4192007 north edsa meeting
And three were left...
I mentally discarded my list of 21 friends, whom I had informed of a mall meeting scheduled for today. I was one of the few who had the time this vacation (puro dlsu at admu kasi) so I took the liberty of setting us up a great time for lakwatsa.
Thankfully I won over my mother as she finally agreed to take me to sm north by the car. And although three nga lang kmi na definitely ok with the plan, I still pushed through with it, feeling really excited as I was about to see Des, whom I have not had a chance to chat with for many months.
At bakit ba...naalala ko kasi yung sabi ko kay rep ("Kahit dalawa lang tayo tutuloy pa rin tayo, hmph!") so I thought, "Fine, coz a friend or two coming together is still a blessing."
And binabakbak yung house kasi ung mga doors ng bathroom pinapalitan ng plastic (wood kasi siya since 1991, ginawa before we transferred here), so ang dumi and I just feel uncomfy seeing my once clean house get so dusty and eew...so tama rin sigurong magbreak for today. *drops mop and broom*
At hayun nga, we went. The meeting was supposed to be before lunch, pero naurong na ng about 1 in the afternoon kasi I had to go to my father first, and rep had to pick up his course card (congrats uli pare, I'm so proud of you!) prior to the trip. Des was at fully booked when we arrived, and because of the unplanned situation, rep and I had to go to her para malinaw.
Upon seeing purple-clad des I merrily ran over to her and hugged her, then fine, si repa na naka-red (cool tlg coz it's my fave color). Our first agenda of the trip: lunch!!!
Ang alam ko kasi nung una sabi ni repa rice burger ang trip. Pero malay ko ba at napadpad kami sa Banana Leaf (which we passed by kasi). Classy, but nevertheless, it's good food, so we went in. Honestly at this time na I had not eaten anything from the time I woke up, I could agree to anything.
And I'm very glad naman sa taste ni reps- for a choosy tastebud I was not disappointed at all. In fact I'm planning to have a second go on the next opportunity. Si rep ngorder ng Malayan curry, while Des opted for seafoods with gata ata un, I forgot...and I ordered a safe choice, spareribs with vegetables. Natikman k ung sa kanila at well, I'm not a fan of gata, the chicken curry didn't quite appeal to me, but the spareribs...man...
*murmurs* such a hedonist...peachie...
Tapos ngkwntuhan galore. I had wanted to apologize to repa kasi parang sort of na-op ko ata siya in the excitement of seeing Des and trying to catch up on her life. Kasi may mga periods na nagkukuwento ako ng alam na ni rep- eh pano ba namang hindi, eh lagi kaming nag-uusap nyan, phone na nga ym pa, tx pa, then kita kita pa kami!
So ayun, magssory sana ako kaso naisip ko lang, eh bakit ba, I know naman na dapat akong maging kampante pag ganitong mga situations na friends ko si repa and I don't really need to say sorry kasi wla nmn tlg un...kung may dapat akong isorry sa baboy na to, yun yung binunko ko siya ng binuko (with permission from him of course, hehehehe) kay Des, especially concerning his, um...sexcapades, hahahaha! (okok, I meant lovelife!). At yung todo asaran...hahahaha..what a great therapy for me, nyehehehe.
So after namin magstory at magshare pics sa phonecam (repa, dami babae, hahahaha), alis kami, go sa Quantum there. Of course nagbabad kami dun sa fave machine ko, dancemania. Parang mangha ata si Des (oy des ha, next game ntin kailangan lampaso mo na si rep to the point of hindi na siya maglalaro ng dancemania, hahahahaha!). At hindi ko pa rin matalo ang baboy na iyon. Sa susunod!!! Grr. Birthday ko dapat I win! Bwahahaha! Nyehehehe.
*sighs* relax lang...
After nito, I got word from Bequa, na kinukulit ko kasi sumunod, na hindi na siya makakarating kasi nasira yung train to sm. Bad trip tlg. Pero there's always another meeting, which is saturday, so I comforted her successfully with that.
Punta kami (at rep's suggestion uli) to starbucks. Una upo lang, then later we get drink. I chose my common order (vanilla cream frap), rep chose his fave (mocha), and des got a banana java something which tasted like banana cake (tolerably eew for me, hahaha).
Tapos tinuruan ko sila ng favorite card game ko of all time...kasi nagdala si Des ng baraha in my fav shade of red, of course. Ayun, after four rounds kailangan na umalis ni Des so we went.
Tapos after a bit more wandering for 30 mins, I left rep in his designated area of sundo. Ako, nagadventure pauwi...hahahaha.
At pag-uwi ko I was welcomed back by my cousins, Shane, Alain,David- who are going to stay here until Sunday, yey!
