~:}*merry christmas!*{:~

even if its already late, merry christmas! hehe, havent blogged in a while so i'll recap what i've done this past holiday. well alot happened but i'll only mention the happy stuff. but seriously, it was a kinda sad christmas, because one of my relatives died recently. but putting that aside, the legasto's, ocampo's, reyes', and san juan's had the usual get together. we ate shabu-shabu style, which was kinda funny. and it was yummy. and then mitchie, meech, pau-pau, and i became dorks by ym-ing each other from 3 different computers in meech's house. then i finally convinced at least meech to go for a walk outside. and it was so cool, cos it was actually cold outside. like, we were in slippers and my toes were kinda freezing. the party ended really late, cos the parents got all caught up in the kwentuhan.
then christmas eve, spent it at my grandparents as usual. and ate alot... as usual. christmas day, we all woke up late opened some more gifts, then we went over to my cousins house cos she wanted me to help her with all her new arts and crafts stuff.
then the day after that, i just stayed at home i think. woah, i forgot. well then tuesday, we had chorale practice for the entire day from 9 am till 4 pm. hehe, we ordered mcdonalds for lunch, and like celine, bea, and i were in charge of ordering and stuff. it was so funny telling the orders over the phone cos we had to order for like 26 people, and i was the one ordering over the phone. and like people would keep coming up to me to add something, and i think the mcdonald's people were laughing at me. hehe. then we also decided to order brooklyn pizza. yah...its weird. anyway, the food came late, and everyone only had like 10 minutes to eat. but we all finished in time. after rehearsal, my mom, ysa and i went to town. we were supposed to go the spa, but then the lady said we would finish at like 8 or something, so we went shopping instead. haha. we lost my mom in rustans so ysa and i just went around the rest of the mall. we went into alot of stores but i only ended up buying shades. and ysa bought ice cream and popcorn. that always happens when i go shopping. instead of buying stuff, i spend money on food. and while we were in town i bought this lipstick for my mom, just to find out that she already bought it. and it was so funny cos while i was paying for it, my mom came into the store and ysa was like distracting my mom so that she wouldnt know that i was buying her the lipstick. but anyhow, we got it refunded. so yay!. haha. then we got our shoes semi-stuck in mud on the way beauty bar. ...okay, thats not too fascinating.
then yesterday, i went around makati with my mom for the entire day. but it was fun, cos we went to the hotels that carry my moms line of bags. and we were like comparing the staff of each hotel, and yah, the more expensive hotels have nicer staff.
thats all thats happened so far. and we're gonna watch the pyro-thing/fireworks in macapagal later. the "performers" are gonna be the united states and south africa.

~:}*fulfilling daay*{:~

i feel so full of goodwill and cheer and christmas spririt. even if theres so much sad stuff going on in my life right now. well cos first of all, i went to youth choir practice and i decided not to be shy. so now i have a mommy and tons of siblings. haha. and then today, we sang at the 930 am mass. and it just seems so peaceful to start the day with a mass. then gino and angelica dropped me off home then right after, i left the house again with mom, dad and lil bro, to run around and do last minute stuff for this christmas party.
and the christmas party was the most fulfilling part of the day. i mean, we had it at around 6 pm in saint rita's orphanage, sucat. it was for the less fortunate members of cfc. so it was so fun to be making them happy. and i really like that orphanage, cos we usually visit it regularly. cos theres this one baby there, name raphael. he's 2 years old and he just the cutest. he actually could pass as zach's and my brother. so i got to visit him over and over again, cos people wanted to see the other babies too.
okidoks. i gotta sleep. we're leaving for bicol tomorrow.
goodnyt!!

so then i went home. my room was so depressing cos it looked as if there was a landslide in my room. it was so messy cos of all the giftwrapping that i did, and im really bad at giftwrapping. like when i started fixing my room, i found scraps of tape everywhere. now my room is like soo clean. then i fell asleep in the living room, until like 6. and when i woke up, i panicking cos we we were gonna throw a suprise party for csiy. hehe. so i rushed to allie's house, and no on e was there yet, not even allie. yay. so i watched cartoons in her house, for like an hour. but it was fun, i got to catch up on the tv shows. then like after an hour, 2 cars came, filled with all the other people. and csiy had blindfolds on. it was so funny! she was like so surprised, and ...csiy! did you eat dinner at all??
it was really fun, so much food. like my jaw was so tired from chewing. and then i got abs from lauging. all the piyok moments. and "isa pa isa pa". then we magic-sing"ed". so fun. im like paos now...mama mia, macarena, ymca, burn, bohemian rhapsody, macho man, shoot...forgot the rest...oh footloose. so sleepy..again...

Hospital Window
A great note for all to read it will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you." Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. "Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present." The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on. Do not keep this letter. Just forward it to your friends to whom you wish blessings.

~:}*i love the night life...i love to boogy*{:~

we had our pe practical today. it was so funny cos practically majority of the class just made up steps on the spot...including me and gabby.haha. miss elmeria got to the gym kinda late so we were all just standing around the gym all just dressed up and taking pics. it was like some kind of weird party. hehe. but it was so fun! everyone was so cute! and it was so funny cos it looked as if gabby and i coordinated with the our outfits. he was in a blue polo and black pants, and i was in a black shirt and blue skirt. yup. it acutally wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, cos the dance turned out pretty alright, even if i got kind of dizzy.
when we got back to the classroom though, gabby told me that ms said that she might choose us to dance in that competition thing. nnoooo. haha. its not a really bad thing, but its not good either. we were purposely trying to make our dance suck, but i kinda like the swing. haha
anyway...
thats pretty much the highlight of the day. i need look for the pictures now...

~:}*the unique ones...*{:~

haha, today was kinda strange. or im strange. my grammar is really getting worse. i mean like when we got dismissed for lunch, i looked at the attendance thing outside the classroom, and then i was like "why are there so many people that is absent..?" then joe was like ..."...are..."
and then i thought about it, and i was like , shoot im so stupid.
then whenever i text mitchie something, i always, ALWAYS, have wrong grammar. like when she asked if i was goin to humphrey's house

humphrey, ken and dianne, heres the pizza you ordered at my house.=)

yesterday, i was all like "no im doing my philo paper, and im on a role!"...i only noticed that today when she pointed it out to me. and maybe steffi's right cause she siad something like the barok moments of mine might be the middle part of my evolving from english speaking to filipino speaking. haha
then dismissal time, humphrey, mitchie and i were trying to see how many people we could say hi to. or at least i was trying to. then we changed it to trying to see how many people would say hi to us first. that was useless cos we were like a bunch of crazy people laughing our heads off.
then when we got to gate 5, it was a miracle cos my school bus was finally parked near civilization for once!! yay. so the three of us and anna were like talking and stuff. talking bowt what we'r planning on wearing for pe. then mitchie thought she had to go so she went in her bus. and then i still had a bunch of kulitness in my system so i called her on her cellphone, even if i was just on the oppossite side of the window of her bus.
that was so pointless. then she decided to hang up. then she said that stephen called us unique. that is where the title for this post comes in. buts theres really nothing to say to describe it, cos i wasnt there personally, mitchie just told the story to me.

what do you get guys for christmas? its easy to get gifts for girls. so what do you get a guy for christmas? please enlighten me.

ok...excited yet not for pe. and im feeling...inspired. lol. so theres this guy...haha.
