10. The chores-
My oc-ness gets surely worked up at the sight of laundry, dishes piling up in the sink, shirts thrown about on the sofa, or a floor with shoeprints. And note that my alarm sets of like the call of nature...
9. The Sims-
My character got unemployed, kissed the neighbor(s), became invisible, turned into a scholar...I'm actually strategising in this game, hehehe...but I sure love the part when I get to expand my home.:)
8. Dennis Trillo-
I still get that slight tug of a smile at the corner of my lips (it's the right, hahaha) whenever I hear his song, see his commercials...and the big billboards! Hahahaha! Yeah, I find him cool.^^
7. Lebron-
His antics make me want to fuss about him...so so cute!!! And he's growing up...getting heavy as I carry him while he's silent.
6. Jonreph-
My worst enemy(?). Wahaha. He comes calling, and surprisingly I feel like welcoming them even at the most unexpected moments. My stress reliever (emotional punching bag), hahahaha- ayan.
5. The Jesus I Never Knew-
This book by Phillip Yancey is just soo soo cool; it gives a deeper view of Jesus Christ. Kinda like digging him to the flesh (eww, but something that revealing). Grabe, very profound...also with an author I have to admire, siyempre...and I have to read fast because ibabalik na ni Dii any day now...awww boohoo if I don't get to the end of it!
4. Yahoo mail chats, unexpected texts, pleasant calls, friendster-ing-
Through YM, super happy ako na I got to reach my friends, so I don't miss them that much anymore. A certain friend of mine finally texts me to confirm at least that he's alright. A friend that got off my communication line about 7 years ago comes knocking at my door through friendster mail...and we plan to meet this coming school year! And KR calls me...super appreciate ko talaga when she quickly asked for my number, yehehe.^^
3. Scrabble streaks-
Some weeks I go three straight and big wins. Some weeks I just end up giving them all back to my bro keith or kay Dii. Hm. I have to improve my stats here, come on- certified addict!!!
2. Family intrigues-
Kaya exciting ang family ko kasi puro comedy at napaka spontaneous. At dahil jan marahil kaya iba ang intriga sa bahay namin. Iba rin ang pintasan, hehehe. Well it's good na harapan kasi kaya ok siya, more favorable to me than not. Won't discuss them here, though- strictly family, hahaha.
1. Blogs-
Not only mine- lalo na sa mga friends ko when I take time to blogsurf. Kasi ang dami kong nababasang nammove ako in many ways. Grabe...and sometimes I get so much engrossed with my readings that I barely have time to make sense of my own entries, hehehe. Ang dami kong natutuklasan with myself, God, and my friends through this newfound hobby of mine.
A different light
Last night I canceled my trip out wiith rep, because ma wants me to stay home. Hay. So much for my excitement. Anyway...
I was surprised yeterday when two special people sent me a message in my ym. Ang isa si Paulo na matagal ko nang di nakakachat. I'm happy for him especially with his updates. Si Alwin rin, nagmessage. I honestly miss that guy- last time I met up with him was in Taco Maker- a food joint in front of DLSU. Sayang nga lang I didn't come back to reply to him just in time...coz he already signed out.
Also got to talk with Os, Andrew, Rep, Shuri. Always nice to talk with lovely people such as these. :)
Just this afternoon I received a friendster message from a long lost friend- not that our relationship got bad or anything like that; we just parted ways due to some unforeseen circumstances before hs started in sj. I want to catch up with him, especially now that he's entering college in ust. *claps*
I am terribly missing my ust friends. This is a fact I have to admit. Hay nako...sana june 1 pdi kmi mgmeet up...hahahahay, and again that depends on my mother and her 44 y.o. mood. nyehehehe. Ay, and my cheque for my tuition fee...
So mcuh for updates- I wanna play sims on the laptop!!! XP

Caedmon's call- love alone
A profound call for me...grabe first line pa lang, man...
No one would love me if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line
And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea
Give me your hand to hold
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low
The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night
And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof
And the pain of the world is a burden
And it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
No one would love me if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line
And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea
Give me your hand to hold
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low
The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night
And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof
And the pain of the world is a burden
And it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
Sudden excitement, HD for Val, and surprise for mama
Peachie Is Going Out!!! (???)
Just after my last post here I got to talk with Jrep and planned something for Friday, yey. :) Somehow heconvinced pestered me to go out. But that still depends on my mother, of course.
Recently I have very little excitement in seeing other people due to my I-ruined-my-braces condition. It really bugs me whenever the loose end of the wire at the upper left side of my molars makes contact with my inner cheek linings and my tongue...aww...it's such a setback for me who wants to see my friends. But this is my fault anyway, so ok, reap the consequences...
What's Up-
I am now half-writing a letter for my brother who needs a change of section for a very important reason. So medyo ok lang na kahit 2:20something na andito pa rin ako, typing away...also waiting for my ma to appear after her all-girls night out, kasi we have surprises for her.
My HD (hidden desire)-
I have to admit, I am seriously starting to love that fil-chi girl in our block, Valerie...she's very cheerful and trusty. Recently I've had times for lengthy chats with her, and boy, did I learn lots from her as much as she did from me. Kanina nagkabiruan lang naman sa ym confe-
Sabi ko kay Val (with her webcam on kasi), "Uy val, I always like seeing you, nakakatuwa ka talaga."
She was like, "Aha, sabi ko ng aba, may HD ka sa kin."
(We've always kidded around like that, so as usual) I replied something like, "Sikreto na natin un, mutual naman eh hahaha."
But seriously natutuwa tlg ako sa kanya. I've been wanting to find time to get to know her better kasi she's been my TF (target friend). Kaso dahil busy tlg ang course, dito lang pla kami sa ym magkaka-oras, hahaha, of all places...marahil yung paggroup rin namin sa class nagiging factor, hm. Thank God for the chance. :)Birthday Gulat ni Mammita-
Asar naman si mamush kasi di pa dumarating, at mukhang nawili sa kanyang night out. Anyway ang weird ng preparations this year ha- I bought her a practical, though pricey gift (yung sure na sure akong need AND want niya). My brother came home just a while ago with 3 of my ma's favorite chocolates, a very grand bouquet from Designer Blooms, and a cake (which I felt sure was choco mousse- ma's fave).
(FF) Fishy Factor-
Except for my mysterious gift, something told me that these came from my father...I dunno, coz about 2 weeks ago my father was talking about giving my mother something like these for her birthday, and he had repeated it to me later on.
Hm? My father, thoughtful? Never.Balikan sessions?
...
Haha! Yeah right. But what a thought...NO WAY (I MEAN IT)!!!

Brace-friendly diet, house arrest, birthday, at ang kabalbalang recipe ni peachay
Mama's Day-
Tomorrow, 5-24-07, my mother turns 44. Hahahay, and I still don't believe she looks like the typical 44 year-old. She's so playful...a sizzle of emotional ground and lots of energy.
Anyway kaya nga ako nagluto ng spaghetti, trying my best to make it more edible hahaha. Thankfully she immediately took a plate out for herself before her all-girls-out dinner tonight. Nakakatuwa nga at meron namang ganun kasi mostly ma's with her orig 24 year-old barkada from college, named Falcons (dahil ata to sa Voltes V, mga weirdoes hahahaha). And her being with them meant spending time being one of the boys, kasi originally 13 sila, 3 girls. Yung isang girl evicted, ung isa married sa states. So she's now the 'muse of the group,' as the remnants of the group in the country tease her.
Braces Are Meant To Kill (or Starve)-
Kanina I got a pleasant phone call from my best friend Jonreph. Naturally asaran galore na naman kami, so ok, hehehe...what's new about that...
Ay, oo, he's got the wires since thursday (braces na pare, wahooo, retoke galore)...and their placings are worse than mine, kahit nasira pa yung akin (yeah, just 4 hours after my dental visit nataggalan ako ng 2 sa left, at dahil magbabakasyon si doc meg, they're scheduled to be recemented this Saturday pa, kumusta naman hahaha), wahahaha.
I am so much better off (aw, wawa repa...:)) kahit may molar bands rin ako, which forces me to a very strict diet of only soft chewable foods. That even means no fries (I tried it kasi and it hurt T.T). And currently 3 days na kong no rice, no meat (except that crab stick I sliced thinly for my cream soup). Uy ha, si Rep nga umusad lang sa level when he ate fish, but then he can't beat me with all my guts to try (and hurt) with my food preferences...
Pero lam niyo, honestly, this dieting of mine gives a good lesson: Feeling with my patients. Kasi di ba sa hospital uso ang DAT (diet as tolerated), soft diet, diabetic diet, NPO (nothing per orem- no food at all)...atbp, eh dahil sa mga ito pwedeng maging crabby at sungiters ang mga alagang pasyente. So that requires understanding from the caregivers, the nurses...and ayun, so dahil dito sa experience na ito I expect na matututo tlga akong mag-empathize with them as I start my empathy with Jrep (na di hamak na mas kawawa pa sa kin, seriously).
Speaking of which...the hardest I've ingested without feeling bad orally was boiled bananas- a real treat for peachie, hehehe, love those sweet bananas. :) Other than that, I already allowed these in my meal plans-
Hmm...now on why I have two brackets removed accidentally just FOUR hours after getting cemented in...I think it was the garlic chicken steak...natural hindi pa masakit then so I thought I could handle it. Basta, hmmm...you know me, may pagka...no, talagang makulit ako, oo na, hahahahaha!
Peachie's Mocha Frappe- (inspired by an afternoon of vanilla frappe with Jrep and Des sa starbucks, sm north)
Here's a successful recipe to share with you: (ganyan pla pag sinusumpong ako, hehehe) While cooking spaghetti, I perfected my experimental mix of mocha frappe, check it out (especially sa mga batong bato na)-

Speaking of which...the hardest I've ingested without feeling bad orally was boiled bananas- a real treat for peachie, hehehe, love those sweet bananas. :) Other than that, I already allowed these in my meal plans-
- noodle soup (preferrably chicken- and with egg)
- eggs (soft naman)
- choco fudge cake (though I didn't last with it kasi too sweet for my taste)
- lugaw (pero tamad ako magprepare so that's just for the record)
- all beverages
- pizza (I ate the toppings only and left the crust)
- chicken (I tried to cut them into pieces but...)
- pechay (nagsstick siya eh, grr)
- fries (every bite exudes mortal anguish from my nerves, hahaha)
- chicken steak (I successfully ate everything because wla pa ung pressure then)
- hotdogs (it looked inviting sa bfast table kanina, but the sensation..!)
- siomai (aaaaa mama kasi nang-inggit...no, can't)
Hmm...now on why I have two brackets removed accidentally just FOUR hours after getting cemented in...I think it was the garlic chicken steak...natural hindi pa masakit then so I thought I could handle it. Basta, hmmm...you know me, may pagka...no, talagang makulit ako, oo na, hahahahaha!
Peachie's Mocha Frappe- (inspired by an afternoon of vanilla frappe with Jrep and Des sa starbucks, sm north)
Here's a successful recipe to share with you: (ganyan pla pag sinusumpong ako, hehehe) While cooking spaghetti, I perfected my experimental mix of mocha frappe, check it out (especially sa mga batong bato na)-
You need:
- table spoon
- ice
- cold water
- hot water
- instant coffee
- instant choco powder
- refined white sugar
- whipped cream (aka all-purpose cream, preferrably the easy-whip type)
- creamer (optional, coz I tried it but I don't really drink coffee so para sa kin arte lang ito hahaha)
- Refrigerate the whipped cream for about 30 mins (para maging thick siya, maniwala kayo, sikreto ito ng mga gumagawa ng graham ref cakes).
- Measure powdered coffee on the table spoon- that is, it should not be heaping and should only cover 3/4 of the spoon surface (grabe ang professional ng measurements, hahahaha). *Kung hindi, super pait and it ruins the bittersweet mocha flavor, maniwala kayo, hahaha...
- Siyempre ilagay niyo un sa baso (I made use of an appox. 420ml glass, about twice bigger than the average).
- Measure 3 heaping tablespoons of choco powder and put in as well. Pag gusto niyo may creamer, eh di put in one teaspoon, feel niyo eh, bakit ba...
- Put in two tablespoons of sugar (do not heap ha, if you don't want diabetes in your later life, hahaha).
- Add hot water just enough to melt the mix. Using the spoon, halo lang until it dissolves (obviously pag hindi ganun kainit ang h2o, may mga solutes pa yan kahit anong halo niyo, hahaha).
- Add cold water to 2/3 level of the glass. Mix.
- Add 5 ice cubes (I thought kasi 5 is the magical number kasi pag less, kulang. Pag 6, sobra na. In short, optimal number, by experience). But then again, if your glass is just THAT big at mayabang kayo, eh di bahala kayo, hahaha, kayo naman iinom niyan eh, hehehe.
- Finally, (and my favorite) add two spoonfuls of refrigerated whipped cream (do not overdo, kasi pag sobra ito, nakakaduwal ang beverage- tested ko na rin yan, hahahaha!).
- Enjoy. Comment kayo dito pag natry niyo na (I DARE YOU!), hahaha. Love y'all! :)
A very trying day (5-21-07)
My uncle fights me through text. And I can't defend myself because he gives me my enrollment fee- and also the house income.
My father mocks me on my visit. And he tells me he's taking double dose of his meds because his case has worsened as I had predicted (and he's been giving me an indication that he's about to die soon).
My mother misunderstands me and gives me the silent treatment for 48 hours (and still ongoing). At a lengthy sermon she tells me na 'lahat na lang ng mali ginagawa mo.'
My older brother assaults me physically in front of my mother while I was trying to sleep. His reason- I'm so bobo, tanga-tanga, can't follow instructions (when in fact his instructions were wrong to begin with).
I cannot eat anything solid because of my mouth wires getting unwired on the left side. And because my dentist will be on vacation for a few days, it's scheduled to get fixed only on saturday 9:30am.
Hahahaha. I am such a brat- these are one of those days I wonder why my vital signs are still on- my heart pumping, my lungs processing air molecules, my temp indicating that I need to take my paracetamols q6...
But I smile through all these. Because what the heck...I'm not in so much loss. Yes, I'm sad that these things go on here- it's reality.
But there is so much to still rejoice about when with God I have all the love in the world- and much much more. That fact alone is enough to overwhelm my sorrow over these...natural disasters, hahaha.
