ive been eating Floss for like a week already and i still cant get enough of it. ugh. hello, my name is fatface. if you lived in the PI or singapore or nearby asian countries then you know what floss is. its Breadtalk's signature and bestsellin bread everrr. or at least it is in my opinion. just google breadtalk and see for yerself how an ordinary bread can change a man. haha.
its been a tough week also. the school is a graveyard now that the kids are on vacation. and ive been goin out and drinking during weekdays which is making me miss work and forcing me to go on a half-day leave. plus passing out in the cab twice in two weeks aint all that pretty. haha.
the first time was when i rode wit daryl and dropped him off at white plains then when i kept on dozing off, the cab kept missin the turn. ergo, a longer route home and higher cab fare. blame the alcohol and the smoke. then i totally passed out in the cab when i drank a wee bit too much vodka and when the driver asked where to, i couldnt see straight and thought i was still wit my friends and kept on speakin in english (to the driver's amusement) and when i came to my senses, i gave him directions...in tagalog! siguro nga naaliw siya at binigay pa niya ung cellphone number niya in case im in ortigas and i need a cab. i think he thought i was working in a call center and i needed a service. haha. thanks god both mishaps ended quite pleasantly or ill be found in a ditch somewhere. lesson learned. i just wanted to share my stupidity.
there's another drinkin opportune tomorrow. but im thinkin of passing. my liver can only take so much. this fridei is gonna be insane tho. my surrogate sisters are graduating (congrats luisa and celina!) so me and marco wanna be there. then its mel's last day of school so we're thinkin of celebrating. too bad none of those plans will push thru. not because its a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-fridei, but because im goin to be in subic for our annual office outing that i cant back out of. :( in other cases, id be happy to get more sun but id rather be in Alabang watching my two sisters graduate. woe is me.
and my sideshows have been boring holes into my subconscious that im actually dreaming about them. sideshow # 1 (in my dream) called me to say he really is wit makabayan* (names changed to protect identity). and sideshow # 2 also told me that (in real life) that he has a girlfriend! im sincerely happy for you, sideshow # 2. sideshow # 1 can kiss my ass and burn in hell. haha. kidding.
more updates and photos in multiply as usual. ive been a very good girl, too. snaps for poca!
the most gorgeous creature to ever walk the land of Michigan! i love you bitch! you dont know how much our friendship means to me. the bond us bitches have formed since college days is priceless.
so here's yer cake;
that's me, cheri, you, cands, and denise. the one in the middle is yer wowo. hehe.
this song has been in my ipod, Pistachio, for the loooongest time and it was only yesterday that i actually listened to the lyrics. and then it hit me like a japanese bullet train.
Ive been a bad bad girl, Ive been careless with a delicate man. And its a sad sad world, When a girl can break a boy Just because she can.
Dont you tell me to deny it, Ive done wrong and I want to Suffer for my sins. Ive come to you cause I need Guidance to be true And I just dont know where I can begin.
What I need is a good defense cause Im feelin like a criminal. And I need to be redeemed To the one I sinned against Because he was all I ever knew of love.
Heaven help me for the way I am. Save me from these evil deeds. Before I get them done. I know tomorrow brings the consequence At hand. But I keep livin this day like The next will never come.
Oh, help me, but dont tell me To deny it. Ive got to cleanse myself. Of all these lies till Im good Enough for him. Ive got a lot to lose and im Bettin high So Im beggin you before it ends Just tell me where to begin.
What I need is a good defense cause Im feelin like a criminal. And I need to be redeemed To the one I sinned against Because he was all I ever knew of love.
Let me know the way Before theres hell to pay. Give me room to lay the law and let me go.
Ive got to make a play To make my lover stay So, what would an angel say? cause the devil wants to know.
What I need is a good defense cause Im feelin like a criminal. And I need to be redeemed To the one I sinned against Because he was all I ever knew of love.

so fridei was fun. none of my plans pushed through. haha. as ive said, im fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants every fridei. i shouldnt even make plans anymore coz they never go the way its suppose to.
there were suppose to be three birthday parties last night. and i went to none. i met up wit my soul sistah, Cands, and had dinner and catched up on each other's lives (or the three months that we havent seen each other). then contemplated on whether or not to hit eastwood before goin makati, but decided against it. so we headed to chino's house and went to the fort and drank at pier 1 while waiting my college buddies, throi and eldon, to get there. but they had to go to some gurly bar and then went to a nearby hangout a lot later than planned. and when we got there, they were already on the way home. and then jelo, the other birthday boy, was still calling for us to get there already. but we finished drinking late in makati and by 5am, jelo and the rest of the peeps are already packed up ready for bed. oh, plus i saw Jimboy! haha. i couldnt even remember his name or even who he was when he called me as i passed their table in Pier1. then he introduced me to his friends as his former classmate and then that rang a bell in my head but still i didnt know his name. so we exchanged numbers then he texted me his name and i finally remembered! he was Sky's blockmate when i was in my sophomore year in college. i enrolled in their class for Algebra101 (which i just cannot pass even if it would save my life) because it was an athlete's block, meaning the professor would be more lenient coz some of the jocks are more brawn than brain. hehe. kiddin guys!
funny turnout last night. my throat is back to feeling shitty and its been two weeks already. i just wanna drink beer and not feel bad the morning after! ugh. ive been downing strepsils and gargling my ass off and my throat still feels scratchy. and the worst part is that i have to drink again tonight coz i have to make it up to jelo for missing yesterday. :( but throat infection or not, im gonna put 'em guys down and be the last gurl standing at the inuman again! haha.
went home from work early today so i can "cook" dinner for the parentals. :) ive been watching too much shows on the food network and they can really inspire! blame technology and urges of being a couch potato.
i made california rolls. pardon the messy plating. its my 3rd attempt already and its still far from perfect. its good that i had most of the basic ingredients though. fish roe, nori, japanese mayo, kani sticks, mangoes. thanks to trina for my handy dandy sushi maker too! :) ive been practicing like mad, i tell yah! i made about 24 pieces of california maki! i still have to work on slicing 'em perfectly though. *woe*
i also prepared veggie salad and put out the fat free italian dressing (which everyone ignored coz we all opted for the "fat-full" thousand island one). again, pardon the plating. didnt really wanna spend too much time on how it looks rather on how it tastes.
last on the menu is the one that i actually "cooked", steamed tilapia wit roasted garlic and butter sauce. simple lang. its a trademark recipe of my dad's family. really easy, healthy and yummy too. the pic really doesnt look as good as i described it. i was fighting off my parents' forks and told them not to touch it coz i had to take pictures. but nooo. hunger was much more a bitter rival than a vain and conceited offspring. so half the fish was already eaten.
its was quite a heavy meal now that i think about it. coz after all that i still ate slices of mangoes and papaya. *burp* im thinkin of turning a new leaf and eating more healthy now. but then again, my subconscious will still be pushing me towards that glorious buffet table. so right now, im just basking in my culinary aura. far from perfect but nonetheless filling. :) i cannot wait to be domesticated and try more stuff out. i wanna be a housewife... *le sigh*
*special thanks to the gurls; roxy, kassy and trina. you guys have been an inspiration!
this is my first picture post in a long time. been updating in multiply and ive been lazy to put it here, paste a link, blah blah blah. so just check in here once in a while.
its gonna be summer soon. only two more weeks to go before the academic year is over. sad and happy at the same time. im gonna miss my friends, the fridei night inuman, the chaos that the sophies and froshies bring, my senior friends who i may never see again. but then again, there's outta town trips, beaches and bikinis, and wearing flip flops everyday.
having an ordeal this coming fridei, too. a lotta my friends are celebrating their beerday this week and its gonna be hard to resist the urge of drinking. even though my throat isnt all better and there's a high risk of losing my voice again. throi is celebrating his beerday today but there's no plans yet on the burogs are gonna hookup. then there's jelo on fridei, its gonna be at his house. but on fridei, lazo might celebrate too, so that's another smokes and drink joint that i wanna go too. then there's the opening of the new resto of boo's cousin that i wanna attend in UP village to show support, eat sisig and drink beer. i dont even know what im gonna wear. if im goin for preppy, casual, or my usual rock black attire. geez. my dilemma does sure sound shallow. *bows head in shame*
while im uploading some 150+ pics of our funfunfun cebu trip, which i might add is taking gazillion of years (dsl speed mga tsong), like about 4 days already since i continue uploading after arriving from work...
please take your jolly ol' time waiting for this video to fully upload and salivate on how hot GAVIN ROSSDALE is. if yer my friend, then you know how obsessed (and i mean stalker level obsessed) i am wit gavin and how much i love, neigh, worship Bush and the very ground he walks on. i might as well go on and embarass myself even more by saying i will be contented just sitting on a pool of Gavin's pee.
pardonnez moi for this word vomit. i need sleep and the v's aint working no more. must be immune already.
anyhoo, this is Letting the Cables Sleep from Bush's album, "The Science of Things". i just heard one note of this song and i fell fuckin in love. its one of the best songs you'll ever hear, i swear. i dunno really, i was just surfin youtube and when i watched it, it hit a tender spot. *tear*
You in the dark You in the pain You on the run Living a hell Living your ghost Living your end Never seem to get in the place that I belong Dont wanna lose the time Lose the time to come
Whatever you say its alright Whatever you do its all good Whatever you say its alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way
You in the sea On a decline Breaking the waves Watching the lights go down Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say its alright Whatever you do its all good Whatever you say its alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way Well wrap the world around it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way
Im a stranger in this town Im a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way Im a stranger in this town Im a stranger in this town
*more updates on the drama that is my life on my multiply site. if yer not my contact then boo-hoo, no pictures for you*
i was stressed at work yesterday. so i did what any other female would do. i went shopping and i got a haircut. i just bought myself another wifebeater, some accessories, a new pair of shoes, personal shite,... oh and i lost a lotta hair.
i got myself a bob and had my bangs trimmed. very anna wintour-ish. i look like what i did when i was in first year college. i havent had hair this short in like 8 years or something. i feel really weird now. my nape's exposed and i feel naked. :-/
i reckon it looks good though. i was at the salon and i asked my stylist if a bob looks good on me, she was ecstatic that i was willing to cut my loooong hair for a change. so off she went cutting. i shuddered when i saw that the scissors went all the way to my neck and i felt the cool metal snipping away years of investment.
i felt like samson. sobrang nanghina ako, meng. i guess it just takes time getting used to. i didnt even bring pepito wit me coz im not sure i can take photos today. :( but i will post pics soon so my bitches can see what i look like and hopefully recognize me still.
im goin to the spa today. for more pampering. i need a deep tissue massage, probably throw in a facial too. i cant believe im becoming shallow. back in college, me and my twin would just wear striped shirts + shorts + sneakers to school and not really care to make porma like other froshies would. now, i wanna crawl to a lil hub, worried how my tresses would look. gah.
its just hair, it will grow back. its just hair, it will grow back. its just hair, it will grow back. its just hair, it will grow back. its just hair, it will grow back.
i dont wanna go back to work. i dont wanna go back to waking up at 4am. i dont wanna be stressed. i.dont.want.to.
2006 began and ended like it never came. and it ended a lot of other stuff that id rather keep to myself so it fills up, eats me up and make me implode.
mental diarrhea. sideshow era.
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
i should really stop listening to Panic! at the disco...
Is it still me that makes you sweat? Am I who you think about in bed? When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress? Then think of what you did And how I hope to God he was worth it. When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin. I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat? No, no, no, you know it will always just be me
it holds too much memories for me. i really need to chug it. be mature and keep it together.
these past few days/weeks have been busy. not just for me but for the rest of my gurls. first of all, congrats to my michigan biatch, Rx, for finally settling in her home. congrats to my cousin, Nissi, for finding the job of her dreams and enjoying the perks!
anyhoo...some mental diarrhea that's happened on the course of christmas week:
-blank-
that's exactly how my mind is since dec 23. so far ive been waking up around 3pm, sleeping around 2am (the earliest). dark circles in my eyes have been engulfing my face and i can pass off as a raccoon in a child's play.
and for my New Year's resolution: i am totally gonna be a good poca from this day forth! i am once again nailing my belt on the wall and totally fending off stupid fleeting fancies that had become my biggest temptation. no more biting off more than i can chew. no more spinning mangled webs that i cant pull through. no more chaos. no more problems. just pure, sheer utopia.
what's been rocking my socks:
my hubby, marco's gift
which i simply refuse to take out the packaging. ishsoopweeetty.
he even pulled a prank on me saying that its for mama v, his stepmom, which really dismayed me coz i was always the one who buys our gift for her, since clearly he doesnt have any feminine taste. but then he told me it was mine talaga. he even planned to have me wrap it (thinking it was for mama v) but he said it wouldve been too cruel to have me wrap my own present.
but it was such a sweet gesture that i actually cried for a full 5 minutes. iamtheluckiestgurl in the world!
my new cam, Pepito (you have to say it with an italian accent)
his is an exilim z60. excellent features for a very good price.
aluhveet! he has been one more reason to be camwhore. thanks to boo for helping me purchase him! now bunny has a brother and im just so happy.
despite the late nights, too much alcohol and smokes, eyebags galore, im loving the season. its the season where i become a fat, poor, happy poca all in one week. no work til the 8th of january so im taking my days in strides.
goin out at night, sleeping at dawn, watching nonstop The Sopranos season 1-6 on dvd (i am fucking addicted to this mob series, wit all the ta-tahs flying about), watching grey's anatomy season 3 (which is eating away my harddrive wit 3gb), pigging out on pesto (which Trina and Chino gave as gifts). ive been eating pesto for 2 days straight. my jawline has once again become nonexistent. damn fat gene.
so i got bored and decided to try out the phenomenon that hit cyberspace...
i seriously dont think i look like kate winslet...
its weird that beyonce came out in both collages. but i lurrve adriana lima so im not gonna contest. harhar
im off to go hit the stores now. boo promised to take me restaurant 5 tonight. keeeee! im getting way too fat now. :( but i guess its the season to be fat and jolly right?! but if we go shangri-la later, fish and co might be more favored! gaaah. so many food so lil time...
