wow puerto

i think this will be the only weekend that i can say WOW truly. this week, ive been in dusty and boring manila during the holy week and off into an island in mindoro, yep puerto galera, then back to manila to earn some money. more stories!

the puerto morning

early morning i got a call from yuri's mom. bangenge pa ko nun, so i gave the phone to yuri then slept. after quite a while, yuri told me that i should get my ass off the bed and pack my things coz were going to galera. i was half asleep and half awake when i heard him say that so i went back to sleep. got up at 12 already. and saw yuri going around the house to pack our things. so i did that too.

fastforward to the boat ride

we went to batangas port in tita patsy's car and went straight to the boat ride. it was kind of a deja vu thing for me, coz the last time i went there, it was with my mom and jamie and tita dolly and janna and daryll. anyway, it took us quite a long time to get to the island. it was almost 5 when we left the port and we got to the island at 6-ish. the boat ride was fun, spare the part when i got wet from the splashes of the sea. i was a little surprised so i immediately got up as soon as i saw water down my face and accidentally hit the nose of the person beside me. yuri. hehe sorry yuri!

yeah i wish we stayed here but we didn't

galera and hotel-hunting

finally we got to galera. to say that the place was overflowing with people is an understatement. it was screaming with people young and old, men and women, lesbos and gays, tall and short, thin and fat - everyone was there. i almost wanna go back to manila when the boat hit the shore. but what would 50,000 people do to me? run me over in a great stampede? nah. so i went down to the beach. twas nice feeling the sand between my toes again. i felt like running (over some people) to the hotel. yes hotel. but the problem is, we dont have anywhere to go to. yuri's brother said he reserved a room for us. but when we got there, it was screaming scary. there was a huge mango tree beside it, a barbeque stand in front of it, a dog running and barking around it, an old woman sweeping the dirt and burning the leaves, not to mention it was way past dusk. creepy indeed. so begins the arduous task of searching. to the beach and back to the main road. i forgot to mention that the creepy house was like a 500 meters away from the beach front. the dogs were bitching us, yuri was bitching too. saying that he was tired of carrying the icebox to the moon and back. i feel like bitching but i was just a 5th wheel so i didnt have the right whatsoever. then, at around 9ish in the evening, we finally decided to call it a night - even if we dont have somewhere to spend the night in. we went to this semi-posh apartelle and decided to sit in the poolside. yuri's mom was in her ma-boca self again so she talked to the owner and manager of this apartelle. turns out, they knew the same people in their old quezon province and we were granted a free one night stay in their nipa office. hotel? check!

one hot summer night

after the long and tedious task of finding a place to sleep in, almost succumbing to the every muscle pain in your legs and buttocks, the throbbing pain in your head brought by the heat and the people buzzing around, I decided to have a beer or two. i immediately asked yuri and tom and tom's other friends to find a bar. after walking the whole stretch of the beach, we found this reggae place. only a few people were there and it wasnt too loud. it was the perfect spot. i had a coupla beers - red horse and san mig light - ahh perfect!

food trip

after quenching my thirst with beers, i was craving for food. galera is teeming with barbeque stands and eating stations, or carenderia. actually one long walk on the beach will leave you smelling like kebabs and fish. my mouth is watering right now. there were kebabs, barbeques, shakes, fruit, inihaw na bangus, pusit, tilapia - rrawrRR!!!!
then i ate. hehe..

sight seeing

and my gosh, the bars were jampacked with people. at the end of the beach were normal people's party, the middle part was the concert scene, and on the other end were the gay shindigs. in between those bars were food stalls, hotels, and henna tattoo stations. and oh, this was the first time i ever saw two men kissing very torridly. shocking.

fast forward again

oh, this is getting long. so the next day was spent looking around, eating around, shopping around and beach volleyball. it was very tiresome but the fun compensates everything. and since i was a jetsetter, having only a shirt and a couple of shirts with me, i was buying all the shirts and sando's that i need.

the next day

saturday was when we are supposed to go back to manila. but before we did, we were able to join and win for ourselves cash and gift packs from nivea. haha. it so hilarious. we were just supposed to play beach volley when the court was covered with sticks and ropes. they were having a game but they lack a team so they couldnt start. a beach volley addict that we were, we want the game to be over with so joined so we can start already. turns out, we came out as the winner. haha. AANNND we got to play volleyball too. nice.

the ride back home

the ride back home was scary. the sea was very wavy. i, again, so malas that i was, got wet again. but we reached batangas on time and we were all good.

ok ive reached my word limit na - joke. tomorrow im gonna tell you about my racket. haha!

ciao!

computer madness

woke up today with the news of buying my computer. but somewhere between 9am and 930 pm, it got lost and now im here in a computer shop in evangelista trying to finish my powerpoint presentation and sorta doing this

turns out, there were only two computer shops in SM sucat where im supposed to buy my computer. AANNNDDD, its all crap. yep crappy computers for sale in SM sucat. o well, better luck next weekend..

rant

what's the thing about not having a computer at home and it's crunch time at school?

it sucks bigtime.. fuck it..

two great songs

two great songs of romance

mysterious ways
julia fordham

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
Don't blame it on my heart, oh

Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never never let me go
'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh
Love moves... in mysterious ways....


by your side
sade

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me
Ohh, when you're coldI'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside
Baby, and you can't get in
I would show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost, you're alone
Can't get back again
I will find you
Darlin' and I'll bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes (ooh)
You know time
You'll be fine
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby

random thoughts

random thoughts

after being alone in the house since quite a long time.. my mind started to crank up the rusty gears of creativity and randomness of thoughts. nice.
those thoughts really both amuse and bug me all at the same time. and it kills me. also, for the first time in quite a number of days, i prayed.
i have never had this good slumber in my life. maybe when i was a baby but i couldn't remember that. it's not really that perfect because when i woke up my eyes were drooping and i was dragging myself to the bathroom. but the feeling was nice. i slept good. and believe me, i can tell a good sleep from a not-so-good sleep. imagine, i had to take sleeping pills - up to the extreme of taking valiums just to make me sleep. pathetic. now i only have those to look back on.

random random random

• whenever i take a bath with cold water and close my eyes while doing this, i feel like i am a child again and all the memories would come back
• i sprayed vanilla and sugar scent in my room and i remember my mom
• i ate tapsilog and remember the days when my papa would bring me home my favorite tapsilog. i could chow down 2-3 servings of that
• lately i've been dreaming about my mom, my sister, my brother and weird as it is, my father
• i have 3 marketing plans to submit. none of them is done yet. none of them was even started yet. i don't know what to do. (yeah bryan ill tell you what to do - START!)
• summer is near. to attend class or not to attend class. dilemma!!!

ciao!

dont know why

dont know why

I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching tear drops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine

You'll be on my mind

Forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a vagabond

Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine

You'll be on my mind

Forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

yeah i don't know why i didn't come
sad...
=====================================

flip flop madness

oggling flip-flops...

havaiannas. i dunno why those cute (overpriced) and comfy(overrated) things can cost so much. and just a few days ago, i was able to find a way to get those flip flops for a bargain. its too good to be true. so i ordered 2 pairs of it. yesterday, it turned out to be too good to be true. i almost had a feeling before that it would somehow turn out that way but i brushed it aside (remember those celphones before? smuggled? half the price?) but it came around. and bit me. rawRr!

madness...

=====================================

what else is new?

so what else is new? aside from sunod sunod na quizes and 3 undone papers and recitations and reports on the side, well nothing's new. well ive been spending a lot lately and whats worse is, ive got really nothing to spend. whew. that was weird. but somehow, i spend almost 200 a day. spare the weekends where i spend a whopping (for me) 500. dammit.

and oh, do i need to mention that im so sick of school that i miss a whole week of my major subject? kidding, we were off for a week. thats good news. honestly, im getting tired of it all. like i said, papers etc. its sad... pathetic kinda sad...

ok lets break the monotony of sadness... (only 2)PICTURES!!!

ME, jd and rap

spot the iranian... WRONG! hehe..

this was from migs party last sat. thanks to jayran.. hehe..

ciao!
