Star studded event

Last Sunday...Krn, my roommate and I was invited to a party in Shangrila-Edsa Hotel. I was hesitant because I just want to stay at home and watch dvds. In short, couch potato...Well, they [Krn and Noreen] talked me out of it and then they told me that it would be a great event but then we had to wear smart casual...grrr....It means no Havainas for me. So, I have to wear sandals and be a girl-la-loo.

We arrived at 5:oo pm and supposedly we had to be there at 4:oo pm. Well, we were late and some of the reasons were: we left home late already and my friend, Krn insisted on taking MRT because this would be her first time(giggle!). So, we told the taxi driver to drop us off to the nearest station. She felt so happy that she was able to take the train. Anyway since we arrived late, we were not able to see the program. Noreen was already waiting for us in the lobby but then she didn't tell us that we were attending a star studded event and we only realized it when we enter the venue. It was Star Magic 2009 catalogue launching. Actresses and actors were there and our eyes were feasting. There were too many of them that it made me feel dizzy. Some of the big stars in ABS-CBN were there...name it...Claudine, Piolo, Diether, Bea, Sam Milby, Shaina, Maja and so many others. They were gorgeous that it made me think if they were real or not. They looked like manequins or people fresh from a cover of a magazine. They seemed surreal. Well, I was introduced to Noreen's boyfriend who was the one who had an access on this event. He was a great guy and he told us to move around and to get some food. Speaking of food...it was great especially the desserts and also wines were flowing. I even had more or less 5 glasses of white wine. There were many people and some of them were taking pictures...Well, too shy to do that...hahaha! After an hour or so, we left already. We didn't want to be one of the people to be left behind.

After the event, we went to Noreen's boyfriend's condo. He cooked food for dinner and we watched dvd/TV. The night was fun but then we had to go home early because I had to wake up at dawn.

HONGKONG trip...

I arrived late last night and now I'm so sleepy. I only slept for 3 hours today but it's worth it. The only word that I can say right now about HongKong is AWESOME! I love it there...I love there transportation system and of course their octupus card..There are so many things that I want to rant about our trip but then I don't know where to start.

******************************************

a week or so later...

I wrote the blog above, I think almost two weeks ago..then I stopped..

Here is the continuation...

Since I don't know how to put our trip into words, so I made a video and I just finished it hours ago...woooh!

First week of my classes

Yesterday, the weather was bad. There was a storm which started around two days ago. It was raining hard. One could hear the strong wind blowing. A day like this makes me want to just stay at home, maybe sleep or watch a movie and sip a hot coffee in my favorite mug but then yesterday was my first class for this semester...urrggghhh! Well, I could stay at home and be absent on my class but I would definitely be left behind. Good thing, I made the right choice, I went to class because right there and then our prof assigned text to read and discussed about our soon to be presentation and research paper. First day of class but then we were already bombarded with lots of readings and paper works...hahaha! Well, I chose this and I have to deal with it...




Tomorrow, I will be off to HK. I still don't think that this is the best idea but then I just have to enjoy it and try to make this trip a memorable one. So, I hope that everything will be fine and I hope I will not run out of money while I'm there...urrgghhh...I don't like traveling with only a handful of money. Anyway, I will just find a way to have fun with out spending much money..Oh! I hope I will not have a hard time catching up with my lessons in school...Saturday classes...sorry...HK here I come....

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

--Edward

After reading this, my heart melted...
A girl can wish, a girl can dream that one of these days
something like this will be heard...

25th birthday

Last saturday was my birthday. Angels and I had a lunch date which started around 2pm...hahaha! Late lunch already. The day was fine. I could not say that I was ecstatic about it. There were so many things bugging me. Anyway, we had a lunch in a Thai restaurant in Eastwood and since Weng's and my birthday were two days apart, it was like a double celebration. The food was fine and what I liked most was the soup. After lunch, some of my friends had to go somewhere but Weng and I opted to stay. I was not in the mood to really socialize because I didn't want to just burst and say something that I might regret later. As what I had said earlier, there were so many things going on my mind. I'm thankful that I decided to stay in Eastwood with Weng, we were able to talk about things...

********************************************************************************
What's going on?

Is it my personality or I'm just a bitchy person? It's been days already. I've been thinking so hard. I thought I'm going to have a wonderful semester break but I think this is worst than coming up with a research paper. I'm having a hard time sleeping and I'm getting restless. Logic tells me that I'm going to make a very bad decision and I don't want to make bad decisions. I already weighted the consequences and the advantages but then the result was a red flag waving unto my face. Then, my other side keeps on telling me that I could hurt other people's feelings if I would follow what my logical side. Well, I'm hurting them already even though they were not telling me what they felt. Such a bitchy person?

As I went over the things that happened, I made several mistakes or let's say many mistakes. One of these is I fully depend on someone. Well, I want to trust someone. I believe that each of us is unique, worth trusting and each of us is flawed. There is no such thing as perfect. Maybe there are things that I'm the only one who can do it but then there are things that I can't do which that person can only do. I believe on this but sometimes it's hard to accept things. I'm not the kind of person who easily accept things. Maybe this happens because there are times that I want things to flow smoothly. It's hard for me to accept mistakes when I could have done better...when that person could have done better because I know he/she can do better. Maybe I expected more...maybe it's just me...

I don't like blaming someone and I'm not blaming anyone because I don't want to make excuses. People blame others just to make excuses Maybe someone made some mistakes but I'm part of this. I should have known better. I bring this to myself and there is nothing I could do but accept things. I think this is one of the hardest part when you know that you will be dammned and because you tried not to hurt someone, you will be dammned also.

One other thing, I'm poor in communication. I am sometimes hesitant to express what I really feel because I might say something or do something that would make matters worst. I'm hot tempered and impatient person. I have known this for a long time and being level headed and being patient are not one of my finest virtues when things are getting chaotic. So, being patient and controlling my temper are not easy thing to do. In fact, it's a real struggle for me. I know that Angels haven't seen me yet being so mad or let's say throwing tantrums--I mean to the highest level. I don't want to be the person when I was younger. Bitchy and cranky. Until now, it's still an amazing thing why my friends way back bear with me. I know that I was not easy to live with.

The best thing that I could do is to settle my feelings and my thinking but it's kind of driving me crazy. I feel like I will end up hating myself for doing what I don't really want to do because I don't do things that I don't want to or they will end up hating me for being a bitchy person and for ruining a trip. I hope I would feel better before this coming Saturday or else I would just ruin everything and maybe ruin something that is so wonderful.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Twilight....it was recommended by my friend ages ago but I didn't take it seriously...then I found out that everbody was reading it...I got curious..I went to a bookstore but it was sold out already. Too bad but then out of the blue, one of my officemates and closest friend, Grace, told me that her friend just gave her a PDF copy...why not? I hate reading using computer but then I have no choice but to grab it...then I started reading...then I couldn't stop...then I found out it was a simple but humorous and exciting book and the only word I was able to utter after reading it was WOW!

The story....mmmmm...better read it. I love reading about vampyres...They intrigue me.

Edward makes me fall for him...Seriously..I'm now head over heels in love with him...hahaha! I can't wait to read the rest of the books.

To my friend Koren and to my other friends who don't read a lot:

Read the book then you will know what I'm talking about.

I know that reading books sometimes makes you sleep but I swear this is so good.

I read a lot of books and this is one of them that is really worth reading.

Happy reading!

DYNAMIC THINKER!!!

Here I go again...taking a test..now, it's a personality test...sign of nothing to do...
I'm done submitting all the requirement in school and I have two weeks to enjoy.
It's sem-break...wooohhh!
I can really say that LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!
Well, I'm having a pre-birthday syndrome as what Weng called it but I'm trying to be more positive...

MY TEST...here you go...

Dynamic Thinker (DT)

Dynamic Thinkers are confident and independent persons. They radiate enthusiasm and energy. Dynamic Thinkers pursue their objectives actively and energetically. They love nothing better than new challenges. This type is the born leader, competent, energetic and responsible. They have a sharp eye for errors and can criticise without mercy if they see the success of a project endangered. They are completely unconcerned as to whether they alienate anyone in the process. But they are always open to objective arguments; they love discussions, they are very gifted rhetorically and they are good at convincing and enthusing others.

As they are very sociable, Dynamic Thinkers like to have a lot of friends around them, preferably those with whom they can share their interests and discuss all sorts of subjects. They are very direct but never in an underhand or scheming manner. If you can bear being spoken to frankly, you have in them a loyal and unwavering advisor as friend. Everything new and unknown stimulates Dynamic Thinkers and awakens their curiosity. However, rules, routine and traditional things arouse their resistance. If something does not go the way they want it to, they can react rather pigheadedly and obstinately.

Dynamic Thinkers expect a great deal of themselves and of others. Whoever does not fit in with their scheme of things does not have it easy. They sometimes appear to be rather severe due to their frankness. Partners and family also find it difficult to satisfy Dynamic Thinkers. They know exactly what they want and compromising is inconceivable to them. Whoever has an Dynamic Thinker as partner should have a strong personality and have a great deal of independence and sufficient self-confidence in order to give this dominating type some opposition. Normally, for Dynamic Thinkers, a partnership only takes second place after their profession. But they like to have someone at their side who is a match for them intellectually, with whom they can pursue mutual objectives and have interesting discussions all night long; preferably factual discussions - sentimentalism and romance are not their thing.

Adjectives which describe your type: extroverted, theoretical, logical, planning, rational, self-confident, ambitious, direct, open, severe, organised, determined, witty, independent, purposeful, dynamic, energetic, optimistic, competent, responsible, clever, intellectual, enthusiastic, demanding, structured, controlled, aggressive

These subjects could interest you: literature, sport (golf, tennis, running), travel, career, strategy games, politics

Take the test: PERSONALITY TYPE

I guess it's quite true...It seems that this is really me....
