Coffee: 1 mug of instant coffee but got a new strbx tumbler for my birthday ^^ *thanks Ate Marian and Ate Mel*
If you get to read my entries 2 years ago, there's one about a surprise birthday for me.
This year, my entry would be, yet again, about a surprise party for me:
I was not hoping for anything for my birthday this year, seeing that I AM getting old, and everyone's busy with school and stuff... but I was surprised (AGAIN) by my friends!
I've been outwitted twice now by the same mastermind, Ate Ann (this time with the help of her trusty minions Kuya Chris and Janice!) [kung supremo si Ate Joyce, si Ate Ann naman ang mastermind!] I really didn't have the slightest idea of what was happening! ('0') (kudos to ate Marian, Ate Mel, Ate Tricia, Ate Arni, Tanglaw and Jeah for the good acting as well!)
After the event yesterday, I was expecting that everyone will go have dinner together at Outback. But I was surprised that everyone said goodbye, begging off from dinner. I was a little dismayed but I figured that they've given us enough of their time already by watching the mini-mini-mini-concert, so no need to pressure them into coming.
but it turns out it was just a big production... and yet again I fell for it! ^__^
But the funny part was I was telling ate Mel and ate Marian about the surprise birthday stunt that ate Ann pulled on me 2 years ago, when in that exact moment, I realized that it was another surprise birthday for me! :D (i never learn!!) Actually to be exact the conversation went something like:
(Waiting near the entrance of Outback, somebody calls Ate Ann, and Ate Ann talks in a very very sweet voice. Then I started telling ate Mel about how I've been had 2 years before by that talking...that time, the whole time we were together I was thinking she was talking with her (bf then,)husband(now),kuya allan; but it turns out it she was talking with janice all the while) :D
Armi: Tapos pagdating namin sa resto, may nakita akong tao, sabi ko pa:'Uy yung haponesa kamukha ni Ate Tricia!' Tapos it turns out na nandun na pala silang lahat. hahaha (laughs at own stupidity)
(Enter Ate Marge, Ate Dennis, and Obladey)
Still thinking that everything was just mere coincidence,
Everyone to Everyone: Hello (chika-chika; beso-beso)
Ate Dennis: O, nasaan na si Tricia?
Armi: Ay wala po umuwi na po eh... (then everyone looks up to the stairs leading to the 2nd floor) Uy! Si Ate Tricia! At sina Janice! Teka... *blink*blink*
That was it, the start of the second surprise party I've gotten in my 26 years of life.
All masterminded by the same person -- Ate Ann
(*hugs ate* Thanks ate! no words can express how much... I thank you! tingnan niyo na lang sa ningning ng aking mga mata that night ;))
Thanks din siyempre kay Kuya Chris at Jans *hugs* and mga galamay ng mastemind!
At siyempre sa lahat ng pumunta:
Ate Marian, Ate Mel, Ate Tricia, Ate Arni, Ate Marge, Ate Dennis, Tanglaw, Obla (dey) at Jeah! *hugs everyone*
Thanks din kay Tanglaw for the kakaibang present. ^^ Salamat po sa mga bumati sa akin sa CD! kilala ko po yung mga boses ninyo ^^V
and sa lahat po ng bumati sa aking birthday! (nax ang artista ng dating! hahaha joke)
Thank you so much, I feel doubly blessed because I have you guys here with me as my family away from home.
*Labshu pow* |

coffee: tall cafe moccha. 14 degress in my room
In my previous entry, a friend posted his comment. accidentally clicking on his link, his not-so-recent live journal entry opened in front of me...and guess what?? it was an entry on closing doors, ending chapters, and the likes!
*talk about connections*
anyway, i hope he doesn't mind but i copied the most affecting part for me:
"
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.” Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
"
"nothing is irreplaceable" *repeat to self 100X*
goodbye na to you.pero thank you kasi for the very nice memories up to the end. nax. akala mo may something eh |

Coffee 0z. *no more coffee to brew*
it's been a long time since i posted here...grabeh a lot has happened in my life. as in!
anyways, just wanted to post this one:
Closing Chapters
Chapter X: Starbucks
i feel like another chapter in my life has closed.
don't you just hate the feeling when things around you are changing and you're still there standing in the middle of things, just looking as people pass you by?
i was so accustomed to being the one on the go, but now i have to get used to the fact that in two more years i'll still be the bystander, i'll still be the one to stay.
or maybe i just get too attached to people... giving them importance more than i should.
i've always hated closing chapters for my friends who went back to their homecountries' ahead of me.
hated goodbyes and tears, and having a part of me torn and taken.
and i've never imagine that i would be closing a chapter for someone who was never a main character in the story of my life.
how did you become such a big existence in my life?
so big that you were able to make me feel that i'm closing another chapter -- for you.
closing chapters need not mean to say goodbye... it's a sign of changing relations, of changing locations.
but in this chapter, i think there might be a need to footnote:
this chapter may mean goodbye. |

Was quite an exciting (?! um... scratch that) ... FUN golden week for me as i went out almost everyday of the week and forgot about my thesis.
went to karaoke 3 times in one week... all of them during free time (so 5 hours or so).
went to Biwako on a roadtrip with friends.
ate out a lot!
And yesterday went to Ao matsuri in Kyoto
fun fun fun!

coffee 48 oz. now eating a thai dessert which is similar to our salabat... only with tofu (!!) helps the cold tho...
spring! spring! where for art thou spring??
i wonder why the cold days seem to go on forever? the beginning of last week was relatively warm... but last weekend it SNOWED! huwah... T.T then i remembered that i went home march last year so i didn't experience full winter then. got a bad cold yesterday... >.< *oh what a life!!*
still feel harassed over *everything* but the good news is things in the phils. had settled back to normal, so that's one less thing to think and worry about.
my happyou is next week and still struggling... my sensei flew to china this week leaving me to do all my analysis by myself *whopeee >.<* gudlak na lang, diba?! haaaay. doudemo ii!! (bahala na) *sigh*
still feel this *zukin* whenever i see HP. baka desu ne. T.T i promised to give up na, but still *zukiiiin* beginning to really hate myself for a number of reasons.
anyway, a not so amusing thing happened to me last sunday.
i was studying at the nearby starbucks (and well drooling over the barristas as they really are sooo kakkoii) when i got this mail from a friend. when i was answering the mail, the person sitting beside me thrusted a piece of paper in front of me which said "Hi I'm *pi----* can you speak english?" the guy was also a foreigner so i had no choice but to say yes and ask him what's the matter. he asked my name and asked a few other things... and i really didn't feel comfortable about what's happening. tried to make him see that i was studying, and well he did get the hint, but later asked me if i know about the italian resto nearby. i said no, to which he replied by asking me if i wanted to eat dinner with him.
HUWA---!! hello?? nampa sa starbucks??! too much!! >.< siyempre i said no. i didn't even know the guy!! weird.
*sigh*sigh*sigh* weird talaga.
anyways, got a haircut just a `feel gooder' for last week...

Your element is Light: Innocent, beautiful,
kind-hearted and pure. You are so sweet your
almost angelic, you find joy in others
happiness and cannot stand to see anyone in
pain. You want to make everyone around you feel
good about themselves and if someone is upset
you can tend to become rather upset as well
which means you are sympathetic and raise
others above yourself. Being as kind and
good-natured as you are people have most likely
hurt you in the past but you pick yourself up
every time. You may look fragile but you are
stronger than most tend to see. Life is
beautiful no matter how you look at it and you
understand that people make mistakes, not
everyone is perfect. You try to see the good in
the bad which is a talent few posses, dont ever
let anyone change you. You truly have a
beautiful soul inside and a heart of gold.

The past few days has been one of the saddest during my stay here in Japan...
Last sunday, my mom called to tell me that my uncle has passed away...
and that my brother was confined in the hospital.
I wanted to go home but with a deadline coming this friday and my happyou this march...i couldn't
すごく悔しい。私は家族のために何も出来なかったの。帰るさえも出来なかったの。
お母さんの声を聞いたら、すごく疲れているそうで、かわいそうなーって思って・・・
思っても何も出来ない・・・
お母さんはずっとあたしに「大丈夫だよ・・・頑張って勉強して、頑張って！」ってこの週末に何回も言った。
お母さんは強いなーって。大好きだなーと思ーって。
でもお母さんのために何もできないの
すごく悔しい。
しかも、勉強でもう疲れているの。
アーーーー人生はこんなもんかな。
Are you familiar with the anime BLEACH?
Recently, I've come to love it so much... because of the opening and ending songs.
The opening song is Asutarisuku (asterisk) by orange range and the Ed song is Life is like a boat by Rie Fu.
Life is Like a Boat (Rie Fu)
Nobody knows who i really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong
旅はまだ続いてく 穏やかな日も
月はまた新しい周期で 舟を照らし出す
祈りをささげて 新しい日を待つ
鮮やか光る海 その果てまで |
