WEIRD dream I had today! It's another Rym-visit dream again and it's WAY stranger than the last one!

First of all, we were having dinner with my sister and he kissed her on the cheek! I was so shocked (prolly 'cause they don't know each other) and my sister just laughed it off.

And when we had a party of Rym at our house, he was snogging...

...guess who?...


...*drumroll*...

PARIS HILTON!

That skank! Ahahahah!
And I was sooo pissed 'cause I thought he HATED her (you do, right Rym?) and there he was, snogging the heck out of her IN MY LIVING ROOM COUCH!

I was so upset that the woman was sucking the life out of my friend so I went upstairs to throw stuff out my window. When that didn't work, I went back to the living room and turned off the airconditioner (Where Paris just went "aw.." and they snooogged onnnn (damn, Rym, you were really working her!)).

Now very, VERY pissed off, I went for out for a jog in our neighborhood. As usual, the "dream" house was our house here in BXU and the "dream" street was in Saint Michael Banilad. xD

Anyway, I figured it really wasn't fair to be upset with Rym 'cause it WAS a party for HIM, after all.. so I turned back. I saw them going outside the garden and I guess I was pretty embarrassed to be seen outside too so I DIVED into a POND and hid there... like... holding my breath... xD

The silliest part? I just saw Rym kill Paris!

AHAHAHAHAH! xD

After Sunday's big fright, I guess no one can blame me for taking it easy the past couple of days. Yahoo's feeling alright now. He's running around already and I guess the new vitamin and the morning run at the garden really helped loads. I am feeling so relieved that my baby is alright and safe... I cried Sunday night because I was so afraid that he might be really sick or worse, that I might lose him... I prayed so hard and I guess it really did help 'cause the next day, he was being his normal self again.

I was posting my problem to PSTT (Phil Shih Tzu Talk) and lots of people said he might have a slight case of separation anxiety as well... *sigh* yes.. I admit leaving him all alone in the house was a bad idea... I wish church can accomodate pets as well... :(

We're leaving for Cagayan de Oro on Thursday for Danna's debut party... I can't bring Yahoo as well 'cause we'll be spending the night at a hotel and I'm pretty sure that hotel won't allow pets inside too... *sigh* at least now Manang Neneng is home and she can watch over Yahoo while we're gone. God I hope he won't hate me when we come back... :( I will be thinking of him during the trip and I guess I'm going to call home to check on him.. probably gonna ask Manang to let Hoo hear my voice...

Buuuut he might be happy to know I bought him his very own water cushion at Rainwater Kennel, plus a toy and his very own chin pillow! Sooo excited to see those items delivered tomorrow or on Thursday! :) Thank you Gerard for being so accomodating, Tzegohjunior for handing the CDs to Gerard, and Rafayel for the copy of Mists of Avalon!

Yay! Maaga ang Pasko namin ni Yahoo!





Sunday, November 26, 2006

I'm really worried about Yahoo. We went to church at around 10:30 and we had to leave him all alone in the house for 2 hours (we went for lunch after) because Manang Neneng went home. When we arrived, he didn't greet us the way he always does... he just stood next to the Christmas tree and just looked at us. We noticed that he walked with a little limp and it's either he struggles to walk like his legs are too weak or he doesn't walk at all. The poor thing...

We just brought him to the vet's yesterday for his deworming and frontline spot-on... We're thinking it's a side-effect and he's feeling weak now...

We're still contacting people if they know Doctor Forteza's mobile number. She doesn't have any work today 'cause it's Sunday, so I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow for Yahoo to be checked.

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

UPDATE:

We finally "traced" our vet's personal cellphone number! I guess love na love talaga niya si Yahoo kasi when we texted her, she went out of her way to entertain us and see what's the problem! While I hate disturbing her and stuff.. I just HAD to do it...

Anyway I told her everything and she asked me if his nose is moist or not (moist), his gums are pink or pale (pink), if he still likes to eat (very much), and see about his temperature (normal). When I checked everything, she said nothing is wrong with Yahoo, and it wasn't about the deworming medicine. He just had some calcium deficiency! Apparently all the calcium he took out of his food and medicines just went to his hair and pee and poo because we didn't really make him sun himself outside!

So she told us to give him Kiddie Pharmaton syrup before his breakfast and make him enjoy the morning sun for a little bit...

And right now we shouldn't urge Yahoo to move too much if he doesn't want to because he might trip on something good and do some huge damage to his bones and back.

Aaaand of course, I still would want her to check Yahoo tomorrow to be sure.
;)


We hit the theaters today to see The Prestige. Pretty amazing, I think. I was surprised that David Bowie was there... but anyway... it was so frikkin amazing! At first you'd think there's real magic... then after a few minutes leaving the theater... you think about all the what if's... and you wonder if the prestige is the movie itself! Get it? I'm confused too... I might wanna watch the film again to see if the whole film really is a magic trick as well... like... were we made to believe that the machine really worked... or if Angier was tricked by Tesla into thinking it works... Real clones? Or twins? Wha? xD

I bought this tiny thing at Blossoms for a mere 28 bucks! I thought a tiny glass bee on my phone would look cute... and I took pics! I wish I went back and get the froggy too... *sigh*

Behind Those Eyes
Panky Trinidad


The shadow lies a bit too long across my path
And it bleeds too much on blue grey gutters and fireflies
Black and cold into my shoes turn my skin blue
A little spider crawling out to weave around my heart in moonlight wind

CHORUS
And when you see my eyes, does your heart receive these words in mine
And when you close your eyes, do you see me in these dreams I hide
If I could steal one thing, I would grab your heart and make it mine
For your heart


Little thoughts and feelings found behind those eyes
I refuse to know the truth, to know the reason why you and I can never be
I try to build a wall, try to heal the hurt inside
But it pains me even more to know that it’s too late, that I’m too late

[CHORUS]

Your heart


‘Cause I can’t see your face every time I gaze those skies when I cry
Doesn’t feel so right but you can never be mine

[CHORUS ]

Make it mine
Does your heart receive these words in mine
Do you see me in these dreams I hide
I would grab your heart and make it mine
I would grab your heart and make it mine

Monday, November 20, 2006

Hmm... It's Monday again... another week of "working". xD I woke up disappointed that it's late again (11am) and I can't seem to get myself to wake up early! I think it's 'cause the alarm I use is from my mobile phone and it stops around 20 seconds after going off and rings again the next 10 minutes... I guess I wouldn't wanna wake up to the first ring 'cause I know it will ring again... and again... and again...

I think I need those normal alarm clocks with that annoying sound that won't stop until you turn it off...

Anyway, didn't do much today. Just did some kid's birthday tarpaulin and sent it to the printer's. All I did was post stuff on this forum, Philippine Shih Tzu Talk. Really just a bunch of Tzu fans that are nuts about their pets. Heheh. Real friendly too. ^__^ The admin people also hold contests monthly and the prizes are great! I'm joining the December Christmas Photo contest and I'm really hoping I win something! *crosses fingers* It'll be my early Christmas present for HooBear. :) (of course, he'll have a special meal and another present by Christmas eve too)


THIS IS AMAZING!!!






Sunday, November 19, 2006

Agh! Massive reflux I had early this morning (3am, methinks... it's REALLY the hour for evil!) I felt like all the stuff I ate last night wanted to climb back up to my throat! I didn't get to sleep well because we didn't have any antacid around so all I did was put some pillows UNDER my bed cushion so my chest would elevate a bit. Mweh.

In the morning, though, Paolo and Ela came to spend the entire day with me since our parents are doing that CFC Anniversary thing. Pao and I slept off the rest of the morning together (he insisted we turn the airconditioner back on :P) and Ela was downstairs doing some Ela stuff. xD

We saw Pacquiao's match in the PM... didn't really watch-watch it since I never really cared for that dude, but since Pao and Ela wanted to, I had to sit through it. Apparently it didn't take that long since it ended in 3 rounds. I'd be annoyed that this dude will be all over the news tonight though. Whatever... something MUST be wrong with me if I'm not that impressed with "The People's Champ". The only champ I prefer is of the fastfood kind.

But I guess someone's gotta be another Onyok in the near future...

A Dog's Life

I love my master; Thus I perfume myself with this long-rotten squirrel.

I lie belly-up In the sunshine, happier than you ever will be

Today I sniffed many dog behinds - I celebrate by kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Paper boy-come to kill us all - Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I sound the alarm!
Garbage man-come to kill us all - Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I lift my leg and whiz on each bush .
Hello, Spot - Sniff this and weep

How do I love thee?
The ways are numberless as my hairs on the rug.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have made a puddle

I Hate my choke chain - Look, world, they strangle me!
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!

Sleeping here,
my chin on your foot -no greater bliss - well, maybe catching cats

Look in my eyes and deny it.
No human could love you as much I do

The cat is not all Bad-
She fills the litter box with Tootsie Rolls

Dig under fence-why?
Because it's there. Because it's there. Because it's there.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially when you are eating.

I just recieved a message from the Harbour City office that Mr. Henry Uytengsu passed away this morning. :(

I'm so sad. He was really one of the most genuine people in that company...



You will be missed, Sir.


<--- I think the scrollbar thing on my Archives looks better than the marquee'd effect, right? Neater, I think. Hmm...

What happened today:



So anyway, today was Uncle Ronnel and Fam's last day here in Butuan. They were set to go by boat back to Cebu and from there ride another boat to reach their place... that WITH four little kids... so you can imagine how stressful that can be. That's why they seldom visit Butuan and stuff. :(

We went to this hotel/restaurant/poolthing called Dottie's Place. We had lunch by the poolside and a few of us went for a dip afterwards. I thought Paolo was enjoying himself throroughly and the water seemed nice and cool so Tita Mai, Mom, and I went back to our houses and got some swim suits! Or, yeah, you guys know how I HATE pools and how it's connected to some superficial things (like it belongs to them skinny people!), the water just looks too tempting! And nobody else was around so basically the pool is all ours! Heheh.

After that, we went to get some burgers at Uncle Sam's (OMG... it's like the yummiest, greasiest, most guilt-inducing burgers in all of Butuan City). Yummmm... (at this time, I think, I've decided to give up on the dieting for Danna's debut on the 30th :P).

A few hours later we were back at Nangka Rd to say goodbye to Uncle Ronnel and Auntie Ling and their beautiful kids (understatement here). *sigh* I had to kiss Dominick over and over too 'cause he's soooo tiny and cute.. :'(

Bye guys! 'Til next time! (I think they'll be here next year for Lolo and Lola's Golden Anniversary, though... I'm sure they wouldn't wanna miss them folks from America and stuff!)

-=-=-=-=-

And what's with this Manny Pacquiao brouhaha? What's the big deal with this guy anyway? He's obnoxiously arrogant and no matter how rich he gets, he'll always LOOK smelly and sweaty and I'm sorry, I'm into the whole proud to be Pinoy bit, but he CAN'T sing and he CAN'T act and he CAN'T endorse anything, so people should QUIT pushing this dude to appear EVERYWHERE except boxing 'cause that's really all he could do. And just to annoy you all, I wish he LOSES this match with that Mexican guy. Just so Manny would get a good slice of humble pie.





Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Just got home from that said dinner date with Suzette and Tina. As usual, lots of talking, etc etc etc... bottom line: it's good to see those two again. :) Suzette texted me that she's at our meeting place a few minutes before Uncle Edu drove me to Minty Passion (dad's in Manila) and Tina arrived around 10 minutes later (she was still working.) Suzette started working at my old school (now a university.. after, like, centuries :P) as the secretary for the Univ President, and Tina's doing some medicine thing... uhm.. can't remember what it's called... *kills brain*.

It's always fun to meet up with good friends. There's always something new to talk about. We all had Chicken Cordon Bleu plates (Yummm) and choco mousse and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert.

Thanks for tonight guys! It was fun!

-=-=-=-
And here are the pics from last night:



Uncle Ronnel, Auntie Ling, and their four kids came to visit a few days ago. They also had Dominick baptised yesterday and we celebrated Lolo Dan's birthday too. Food was yummeh, as usual (mmmm @ carbonara & veggies in white sauce). I still have to load the piccies, so be patient my pretties! ^_^

Oh, and tonight I've got a dinner date with Suzette and Tina @ Minty Passion! More yummage! ^__^

Anyway, view this very poignant animation: Kiwi!






Thursday, November 09, 2006

Man! Britney and Kevin split up! Which is PERFECT 'cause them apart is better than united as one big mass of American trash. It's just funny 'cause that Federline dude is going back to the trailers on his sweat-stained wifebeaters! And he can take his assfart of a CD with him! Mwahahahah! Sometimes, I guess divorce is the best thing that'll ever happen to people... even if that person is Britney Spears.

Lessee *scans 'Net*... Madonna adopts kid... Reese and Ryan split (shocker there.. waiting for Sarah Michelle and Freddie)... Borat... Scarlett's tape recorded scandal... nothing new here, I guess... Moving on...

Anywaaaay... nothing much happened today. Went to the dress-dude to see my dress (turning out okay after all... but still not done). Bought kibble yumyums for Yahoo. Had something nasty clinging to my throat the whole day too... I kept gargling and stuff but it won't go away. Hmrgh.

Eew! Eric Santos video! *almost crushing the TV remote to change channels* The whole world knows he's gay, but he keeps on denying it! He keeps on insisting he's not that whenever the topic surfaces he looks like he could burst anytime! Ahahahahahh! I bet he wishes he's got Ruffa Mae's rack! Yetcht. It's ok to be gay, but hiding who you are really gets you nowhere.

Wow...suddenly I'm bashing random showbiz people... Hmr..

Oh crap! No more load on my phone. *mutters*
Damn you, Suzette! (but I love you, of course :P)


And what's this new Blogger Beta thing? ---- Ooooh...


I forgot how many messages from Suzette I had to delete to keep my inbox happy, but it was probably a lot since I spent 10 minutes deleting them. We just texted a lot about stuff and I guess I fergot to delete as I go (I only keep funny messages/important stuff).

The funniest thing was that she started everything when she mentioned she reread this CDN article I gave her about something Anton wrote (I guess she kept it xD). She asked me loads of things later like how he's been and what's he up to, etc. I told her I don't really know 'cause we really didn't talk anymore and I'm kinda trying to forget everything that ever happened involving him. Suzette reminding me about it really does make me uncomfortable about stuff because for a while I loathed his very existence and now that I don't, I'm feeling fine... stuff that try to break into my bubble of fine-ness is NEVER good. *sulks*

Anyway, simultaneously, two of my friends (Suzette and Rymmie) suddenly expressed their need to be in a relationship with people (note: just to clarify, I meant to OTHER people, not each other... they don't even know one another :P). Suzette says she just wants to have someone nice around and Rym wants to have someone to talk to and cuddle (:P).

This leads me to thinking... is it really THAT bad to NOT have someone? I mean, I feel the same way they do, but without the "trying to do something about it" part.

Does that mean I'm waiting for someone instead of looking? Not really... I'm just not doing anything, waiting NOR looking, period. :P

Does that mean I've given up? Well, no... I'm just taking a break from the stupidity that is being with the company of males.

Suzette says I'm a man-hater. 'Course not! I just think they're superficial and stupid is all! :P Or, fine, not ALL of them are. Let me be more specific, then:

Guys who use me as a tester so they could be decent with other girls in the future.
Guys who hang around because I'm "different" and when I become what they can't handle they just drop me like I'm some kind of game.
Guys that like my attention, think it's nice and flattering, and when I talk "relationship", they vanish into thin air.
Guys that play hard to get (Yes., it's possible. Kinda gay, but they tell me they're all man. *shrugs*)
Guys that really can't hold a conversation.
Guys that smoke.
Guys that are preachy.
Guys that are effing perverted and have nothing in their heads except sex and jerking off.



And they all can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

Today's Randomness:










Tuesday, November 07, 2006

A wedding invitation sample. The theme was "traditional Pinoy" so I made this one. Quite proud of it too. ^_^




And dad found this freak Presto Cream sandwich with two layers of cream!



And Yahoo says Hi and wants everyone to know he's fine. ;)




Well, Yahoo's fine after all. Nothing broken, nothing bruised. *sigh of relief*
Oh, and new blog avatar! Yay! I think I like this one better than this one, dontcha think?

Smiling's almost always better, I guess. Plus my left cheek looked weird in that one...





Sunday, November 05, 2006

Man! Something scary happened today! After dropping my sister off Nasipit Port (some 40 minutes away from Butuan) tonight we were driving for home at some considerable speed when my dad suddenly have to hit the breaks! The tires were screeching so loud and we stopped so abruptly that I thought we ran into someone! I hit my head on the back of the driver's seat and I really, really thought I'd break something if there were slightly more force. The whole time this happened I saw Yahoo roll from his spot from the backseat to the floor like he's some pillow and he was so frightened that after we completely stopped, he won't get his head out under the front passenger seat! I immediately checked him for any injuries but he only seemed to be a bit shaken up (so was everyone else), and I now realized that because I was so worried about Yahoo being hurt, I didn't get my usual panic attack at all!

It turned out that some stupid dude left his bike BETWEEN the lane we're on and my dad got so startled when it hit our headlights (it was so dark in the highway!) that he instantly hit the breaks! After everyone's taken one deep breath, we went on our way, got some drive-through foodies, and went home. Yahoo seems to be back to normal now after a whiff of the french fries. I checked and poked around everywhere on his body and he didn't yelp or act like it hurts anywhere... *sigh of relief*

And oh no! Michelle Bond of PDA is expelled! :-(
I like her even though she can't sing that well...
Ah, life.





Saturday, November 04, 2006



Just recieved random questions from Suzette through SMS. I guess it was about that one time I liked this guy, etc. She apologized for being weird at 12:20 a.m. but she pointed out she's "in love with the thought of being in love". I didn't reply back... instead I'm now here, typing.

Yes, well, I used to feel that way too. I used to wonder who I'd end up with, who I'd think about all day and smile and have someone to do corny things with (things I usually sneer at with other couples). Sure, I've had several moments with some guys where I felt happiest and thought it would never end. But love? I don't know. Admiration, maybe. Or obsession. Obsession on the fact that I just MIGHT love a person. But ACTUALLY loving someone? I don't think I ever felt that way towards anyone other than family and pet.

Today was Rym's birthday (Happy Birthday, Rym! I KNEW that dream was meant for something!). We talked for a while about relationships --- or looking for people to start one with. He had to go get potatoes though, so our conversation was cut short. :P

I told him the funniest thing was that I KNOW I make such a good partner. And I KNOW I can love a person as much as I could, even if I end up really hurt. I KNOW I am loyal. I KNOW I am not boring, not stupid, not overly jealous, and I can sit through stupid movies he likes.

So what's wrong with me?

I told Rym not to worry because the right person will come along.
God, I'm such a hypocrite. I don't even believe that. But somehow, I just HAVE to believe it can happen for Rym. It might not for me, but at least it would for him 'cause he's such a nice guy.

Being in love on the idea of being in love is fine. I can do that. It's not hard to imagine the perfect person, the perfect relationship, the popcorn and movie nights, probably green hills and moonlit walks on the beach--- whatever.

For me, everything is set. I'll love and get hurt, then love and hurt again.
I just need another person to start the whole mechanism again.

Frustrating. -.-;
Need to sleep now. *cavewoman mode*





Friday, November 03, 2006

*sigh* Like I said, NEVER expect too much out of things when you're in Butuan City. We went to the sewing person today... dresses not done yet. You can't really blame him 'cause some other sew-guy got sick and didn't show up to help out. Ah, well...

Anyway, me's now back home, not doing anything else except surfing around the 'net, I guess. Yahoo's sleeping on the corner... he seems to be on some sort of funk lately. We took him to the vet yesterday for a checkup and a full groom session, and the vet says he's fine. Yahoo smells nice now though... ^_^

Mom's home as well 'cause she caught some cold virus and doesn't feel like going to work. She got the colds from dad... and dad seemed to get it from Ela. Heheh.

Lately I've been pretty tired too. I don't know if it's about the solemn days of All Saints and All Souls, but I feel drained. Yahoo's just been mirroring my mood too. Hrm...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I feel sad. I don't know why, but I've this melancholy moments especially when I'm alone in the office or when everyone else is asleep in our room. It's like I lost something and I can't pinpoint what. It feels like it's an end of a thing that I have... and it seems as if I won't be getting it back ever again. I feel alone most of the time even though I'm with my family constantly... I feel stuck and afraid and unloved. I feel like other people are laughing at me for the poor state I'm in... like they know I'm going to be doing this forever and I'm not going anywhere...

This is probably all I'll have until I die...





Thursday, November 02, 2006

Strange dream I had last night! I dreamt that Rym came here in Butuan! It was weird 'cause my relatives were oohing and aahing like he's some big celebrity... although I'd prolly understand them 'cause it's not everyday a hottie would visit the house! (Rym is blushing! Bleh!) xD But yah, that was basically it. Gave him a tour, introduced him to hot girls *wink wink*, gave him pillows and blankets and towels and whatever he needed to sleep over. And yah, that was that. I wouldn't want that to happen though 'cause as much as I'd love to have my foreign friends over, this country isn't really that great (or safe) or.. it can be... but not in Butuan. :P Or whatever... this is still home, but not something I'd wanna keep friends from other countries in.

Anyway, yesterday was our Arquisola Halloween Party 2006. As usual, there was dinner, dressing up, and going to Hilary's Garden to have some spooky treats courtesy of Uncle Ching and Family. Chi and her brothers dressed up as random ghoulies, Ela went as wonderwoman (a healthy one too), and Dee wore Pao's bumblebee costume 'cause he doesn't wanna wear it :P. I didn't get to wear a costume 'cause I was busy with Yahoo's fairy wings... hrm... so this is how a stage mom feels like! Next year, though, I plan to go all the way for Halloween! Costume and everything! At the house we had some goodies, watched some 24/7 PDA, and my family and I said goodbye early to go to Lola Puring's house to say hi! ^_^

The next day, mom, dad, and Dian went to Buenavista to visit the graves of dead relatives. I didn't join my family 'cause I didn't really know who we're visiting... no disrespect meant... but I wasn't born yet when they died and I honestly don't know a thing about them 'cept they're dead. Hmm...

...plus the cemeteries are too crowded and hot and that might spell panic attack for yours truly.

Tomorrow we'll do some fitting for out gowns at the sewing-person's place. Kinda excited but also trying to tell myself not to expect too much. Maybe 'cause living in Butuan City meant not having to get yer hopes up for anything---it might just disappoint you.

What else? Oooh.. and I know a little secret. Dum dee dum dum...
