Our July 4th Boat Trip
Somewhere in Morgan Hill

We're here! Uncle Rey releasing his boat on the dock as we await.

This dude who won on Fear Factor was there too. He won this yellow truck and jetski that read "Fear Factor Champ." ASTIG!

This is a scenic view of the dam, I forgot it's name. Beautiful huh?

This is me, feelin' THE life!

This is Nile, my possessed cousin. He believes he is Anakin.

This is Ashley, my boat-mate. My job was to make her not throw-up.

This is my Kuya. Now you see him. Now you don't. Haha. Buti nga!

A view of the crew. Hehe.

Brothers and Sisters.

After our Adobo picnic on this island, Ashley wanted to play "Funny Faces," so we did.

Cruisin' Togetherrrrr!

Goin' under the bridge.

And there were 2 beautiful swans who swam up to say Hi.

Happy July 4th Y'all!

easter

2005-03-27T21:58:00.000-08:00

Happy Easter Bunny!
Holy Week this year was new for me. For one, I had to work the whole week through. No Good Friday prosisyon. No Bisita Iglesia. No 7th Heaven marathon. No more of the usual traditions I used to do back in the Phils. But I tried my best to make up for what I should be doing.. rented Jesus Christ Superstar dvd to watch for Friday, attended the 3-hour Easter vigil for Saturday night, then of course Easter Sunday mass. But still I feel it isn't enough. Iba talaga kapag nasa Pinas, mas-feel ang holiness of Lent. Oh well.

ring2

2005-03-19T11:23:00.000-08:00

i watched the RING 2 last night with Justin (my G.A.P. cousin) on it's first
day out in the theaters. and... there were some slow and lame scenes. but it still scared the heck out of me. i think this one is scarier than the first one coz they showed samara more. the story wasn't mostly about the video anymore unlike the first one but it's more of a "possession" movie. there was a scary yet funny scene when there were "the deers gone wild" haha. i won't give out the best parts you gotta watch it to find out. i usually never watch horror flicks but i decided that i must overcome my fear sooner or later. so i did. ok ok i kept my eyes shut almost 30mins of the movie. we watched the last full show so it was pretty cold and dark so i just had to sleep beside my cousin. hehe. thank God i don't have a tv in my room. and now i'm thinking of cutting my black hair short. i scare myself whenever i look at the mirror. waaaaah.

2nd anniv

2005-03-12T22:17:00.000-08:00

Happy 2nd Anniversary Poo Poo!

Can you spot the differences? Haha. Oo na alam kong madami! Hehe. But aside from me having more hair and he less, kung mapapansin niyo (kung lang ha) the BEFORE picture was taken at Tapsi Royale sa tapat ng DLSUD nun March 12 of 2003 tapos the AFTER picture was taken at Washington DC nun February 26 of 2005. So ano ngayon? Well para sa akin kasi malaking bagay yun eh. Nag simula kami sa Dasma at parang Tagaytay ang pinakamalayo namin nararating pero ngayon ang layo na ng nararating namin with matching i-snow. O diba! And alam ko mas marami pa kami mararating basta't magkasama pa rin kami. Eh 2 years pa lang to ng buhay namin magkasama, pano pa kaya yun mga susunod? ABANGAN!! Hihihi..

BEFORE and AFTER

Grabe, ang saya! 2 years na kami ni Rgie! Sa dalawang taon na yon, ang dami dami dami dami namin napagdaanan. As in literal talaga. At kung san san pa kami nakarating. Pero eto pa rin kami. Wala talaga makakasira sa amin. Ganun siguro kapag true love talaga. Isipin niyo naman, 8 months kami magkahiwalay at hindi nagkikita. Konting usap lang sa phone, email, YM, irc, chikka, lahat na ng paraan nagawa na yata namin para lang makapagusap. Minsan may tampuhan, selosan, asaran, pero "i love you too" pa rin ang huling sasabihin. Tapos ngayon nagkita uli kami pero 2 weeks lang din magkasama kasi nagbakasyon lang ako sa trabaho. Ngayon magkahiwalay nanaman pero hindi pa rin nawawalan ng pag-asa. Gagawa ng gagawa ng paraan ang kapalaran namin para magsama uli. At alam kong malapit na yon. Maraming bagay sa mundo ang hindi ko maintindihan pero iisa lang ang sigurado ko.. na mahal na mahal ko si Rgie at pang habang buhay ko siya mamamhalin.

Rgie sent me these beautiful roses. Isn't he the sweetest? Kahit magka hiwalay kami ngayon, he really knows how to make me smile. Thank you Poo!

Happy Valentines Day!
I am so HAPPY! Even if I'll be spending hearts day alone (and at work) I'm jumping in excitement coz my POO POO is flying in today. Weeeeeeeeeeee... But he'll be staying in New York first so technically we still will be apart. But hey at least we're in the same country now even though we'll be on the opposite edges of US of A. haha. And I won't have to buy a damn over-priced Tipid Pinoy phone card just to hear him voice. Now I can put my Cingular's excessive rollover minutes in use. Hehe. Basta ang saya saya ko!

I gave out these cute Pooh valentine cards to the peeps at work. I just felt like sharing love especially for this (working) holiday. It reminded me of my grade school days. I used to always get excited whenever it was time to read the cards my classmates put in my heart-shaped made-out-of-red-construction-paper mailbox while eating all the "Be Mine" candy stuffed in the tiny envelopes. hehe. I also got Rgie this humongous (spell check pls) Winnie the Pooh Valentine Card. It was sooo cute.

Oh oh oh.. I also got this boquet of a dozen red roses and chocolate from a special someone. I put em in my Pooh vase. Yeah I know i'm obsessed with Pooh bear, sorry.

haircut

2005-01-17T02:57:00.000-08:00

federal holiday=no work=happy tala. yey! i finally will get my haircut today. i've been growing my hair for so long already. requirement daw yun para maging dalaga. hehe. pero since new year dapat new look. haha. but i'll surely miss my hair. this is the last shot of me with long black hair. bwahaha. feeling ko noh?

MLKJ

2005-01-17T02:42:00.000-08:00

it's martin luther king jr day. today we celebrate equal justice and ban prejudice. although MLKJ "had a dream" of this a long long time ago, i still see unequal treatment and color prejudice in the society. i know it sucks. but i don't think there is really anything that can change that about people. since i was in grade school, i was taught that God knows no color and we should see everybody the same regardless of color. if that was so, maybe the world would be perfect already. hmmmmmm.. but no, it isn't.

here are excerpts from the speech delivered by MLKJ (click his name above to hear it from him himself) on the steps at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963 which i also once had to memorize in fourth grade.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

pacquiao

2005-01-16T13:55:00.000-08:00

yesterday we celebrated my mom's birthday again. hehe. we went to chuck e. cheese's for dinner and had tons of pizza. of course, i played games and won lots of tickets. haha. i exchanged my tickets for this cool pink care bear lunch bag. anyway, around 9pm we switched venues and went to "city beach." no, it isn't a real beach. it's like a sports and recreation center. they have volleyball, basketball, table tennis and badminton courts, they also have darts, rock climbing, billards and a bar. hehe.

after an hour of watching "the guys" play ball, i went back to the table my mom and aunts and uncle were sittin at. then i saw manny pacquiao standing right across the room. haha. i knew it was him coz he had a big entourage with him and i recognized his wife too and who else has a face like his? hehe. then i told my mom and she told everybody else, til we were all staring at him. haha. at first my mom told me he wasn't pacquiao coz he looked so small and thin. then i said he's a lightweight boxer, don't expect tyson! sanay daw kasi siya nakikita si pacquiao just in shorts and gloves thats why she couldn't recognize him clothed. haha.

after looking all stupid, we went up to him and asked for a picture (actually a whole album of pictures hehe). he was nice enough to stand and smile with us. funny though coz he seemed more shy than we were. he was pretty cool. very pinoy. he had his tight blue jeans on with matching sandals and syempre gold bling-bling all over him. hehe. he had his "world champion" jacket on too, impressive huh? and yes oh yes i did attempt to feel him, i mean his maskels ha! hehe. ooooh they were hard! hikhik.

we asked him what he was doing in fremont (coz yeah it isn't that much a popular city) he said may binisita lang daw siya (ako kaya yun? haha). he stays in LA, training for his fight in march. so, good luck mr. pacquiao! make us pinoys proud!

bday mami

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The past couple days rain has been pouring all over the Bay Area. But of course, I still have to go make a living and go to work. It really sucks walking in the rain. Not to mention how cold it is and I mean frrrrreeeeeeeeezzzzzziiinnnnngggg!!! Anyway after all that raining, the sun managed to finally shine it's way in. And we all know that Rain + Sunshine = Rainbow. You bet ya! I was on my way to work then when I peeked out the window, there was a long long rainbow right over the city. Such a beautiful sight. It brings me back to the simplicity of life. I was so overwhelmed with the beauty of it's colors, tears started to fall. I had mixed emotions. I felt that that rainbow was God's sign for me to see that there will be better days. Someday the rain will stop. And until that day, I just have to keep myself dry. I found another reason to smile.. rainbows!

Hanap-hanap kita
Bakit nagtatampo`t
Nilisan ako
Kung mawawala ka
Sa piling ko sinta
Pa`no ang paskong alay ko sa `yo
Sayang sinta ang sinumpaan
Ang pagtitinginang tunay
Nais mo bang kalimutang ganap
Ang ating suyuan at galak
Kung mawawala ka
Sa piling ko sinta
Pa`no ang paskong alay ko sa `yo

I miss spending Christmas in Cavite. Christmas will never be the same here. Iba talaga kapag nasa Pinas. Mas masaya at mas makulay. Haaaaaaay.. I was browsing through my files then I saw my old pictures from last years Christmas. I miss the parols, bibingka, carolers, simbang gabi, my family, my friends. I wish I can sing "I'll be home for Christmas" but I can't because I won't be home for Christmas.

the APPRENTICE finale

2004-12-17T23:55:00.000-08:00

Season 2 Finale

I am so glad Kelly won as Mr. Trump's Apprentice. I was really rooting for him. But in the beginning of the season, I was more of a fan of Raj, Sandy and most specially Andy. Hehe. I'm impressed that he is the Champion of the Harvard debating team. He's just so funny since he is the youngest and most unexperienced among them all. And the reason for Trump firing him was as well hilarious.

Towards the end of the season, Kelly did prove a lot and showed much potential. His experience in various fields was an advantage. He kinda knew the what's and how's in any given situation. He really worked a long way to get to the final seat.

I never liked bitchy Jennifer M. anyway. She doesn't know when to stop talking, and she can go on and on and on. Well fine she is an over-acheiver, being a graduate of Princeton and Harvard as cum laude and President of her sorority and Honor Society. Good for her. But that kinda attitude won't bring her anywhere. Obviously nobody really liked her, fellow apprentice contenders and audience alike. Like in the board room, she always talks about others' weaknesses rather than focusing on her strengths. Her strategy is to put others down. She badmouths her teammates so they'd look bad and so the focus isn't on her anymore. She passes the blame to anybody possible. She has no humility to admit to her faults.

Nonetheless, Kelly deserved it more. Although it was also a tight fight between Jen and him. What's cool about him is that he is the opposite of Jen. Like in that final judgement in the board room when asked why Trump should hire him, he laid down all his strengths and accomplishments that occurred during the competition. He was talking about himself only, without dragging other names. Unlike Jen, when the same question was asked, she was saying "coz i'm better than Kelly in this and that blah blah." The question wasn't even "Why you're better than the other." Grrr she really gets on my nerves. haha. I hope i won't meet anybody like her in my life.

Dude, this is just a televison show. Why am i so affected? ARGH! This is why i hate watching reality shows. But i have no choice.. almost everything on TV is reality TV.

Why don't producers make me a star of my own show. All they need to do is have a camera follow me everyday wherever I go. Well, i think my life is interesting enough to entertain viewers......... NOT!! Haha. Dream on Xtal.

i was supposed to update my blog tonight, until........ napadpad ako sa page ni ace. as usual, na-aliw nanaman ako sa mga posts nya. tawa lang ako ng tawa habang binabasa ko mga sinulat niya. medyo hindi na ako updated sa current posts nya so hinalungkat ko mga archives nya. kahit nga yun mga nabasa ko na dati, binasa ko uli. basta pag si ace.. mapapa-LOL ka talaga, promise! hehe. ganyan si ace eh, kapag magpapatawa, talagang hahalakhak ka. pero kapag seryoso na usapan, mabuti siyang kausap at talagang concerned. hay malaking pasalamat ko talaga dyan kasi isa siya sa paborito kong kaibigan. lagi nandyan, lagi maasahan. at higit sa lahat, lagi niya ako napapatawa kahit malungkot ang araw ko. saludo ako sayo papa ace!

farm

2004-10-24T23:22:00.000-07:00

this morning, i helped my cousin's wife decorate their office for haloween. we had to make it look like a big farm since that was their theme for this year. i painted a couple of farm animals (check out below). i had fun, i missed painting. haha. although, i think i'm terrible at it. anyway....

daughters

2004-10-13T19:13:00.000-07:00

it was a sunny fall afternoon. the radio was on. the dj played john mayer's latest single. i listened. i listened hard. all of a sudden, i was crying. listening to the music, understanding the song, feeling the words. this is my song. that was my story. as the song continued to play, i wept like a child. for i am, i am still a child. i am a daughter, i am someone's daughter. but would it matter? haaaaaaaaaay...

Daughters
John Mayer

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

--------------------------------------------------------------

i believe i am the girl he refers to in this song. i must have inspired john to write this song. or maybe somebody i know told him about me. you know what? there is a reason why i'm here. why i'm here so far away from my (real) home. but i'd rather not discuss that. talking about it won't change anything anyway. i just need to move on. someday i will.

fish funeral

2004-10-03T01:24:00.000-07:00

our goldfish died today. me and justin held an intimate funeral for our beloved aquatic friends. their 3-day stay in our home was very fulfilling, they were already part of the family. fluishing them down the bowl was such a grieving experience. now, i struggle to live without them.

and later that day, we went to a party and ate bangus! hahahaha...

tupac

2004-09-29T03:38:00.000-07:00

i just finished reading TUPAC RESURRECTION. an autobigraphy (but mostly pictures)about his life as a kid, as a musician, life before jail, life in jail, life after jail. it was interesting how he viewed his life since he's been a prisoner and celebrity at the same time. he loved his mom so dearly. there was so much talent in him, he was so expressive. he is a lost to the music industry.

rest in peace tupac shakur

yogurt

2004-08-20T22:46:00.000-07:00

this is what keeps me in san diego. yogurt! below are 2 of my favorite flavors, cookies n cream and new york cheesecake. and the best part about it is it's non-fat. kaya nga yogurt diba? hehe. there's this yogurt place nearby the place we stay at called rockie's yogurt. we just walk there to get our junior cup (it sounds small but it's way lotta serving). they change their 12 flavors everyday so its exciting when i have to choose my flavors. haha ang babaw! basta masarap..

this makes life worth living!
