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.

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. |

Tall Starbucks Rhumba Frappuccino with all the works and a smile from Starbucks no oniichan... oohlala!
Post post golden week in Japan and I still can't get back to study mode yet.
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!
but gotta get working soon *sigh*

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

today started quite slow... after the super happy 12 am story, this morning was quite quiet in comparison *not that i'm complaining*
went to umeda to meet gaby *the romania jin* and helped her go job hunting... but kinda failed. so i felt kinda bad that i wasn't able to help her out so much... T.T
but for the first time *since college* i would not be celebrating my birthday. as in no party, no gimmick, no nothing. just wanted to watch a movie with sempai and jans.
got text messages from a lot of friends. one peculiar message was one from ace and sarah, saying "kita-kits po tonyt." which got me thinking... did i promise them something???!
which i asked sempai... but she doesn't know either.
anyways, went to umeda but sempai had baito and janice had class, so went around window shopping and... got lost in the basement part of the station.
met up with joy. wa-i. and went window shopping again.
afterwards met up with sempai...
but before that bought escada's new scent ... ambango!! bought the bath gel and lotion.
jans and ace and sarah were running late so did more window shopping with sempai...
when *at last* met up with jans, went to the resto
to be...
SURPRISED!!!
to see ian, dianna, ate tricia, papsy... everyone was there!! o.O
BIKKURISHITA!!
my very first surprise party brought about by SEMPAI.

alcohol units: one peach blaster and 2 bottles of smirnoff ice. music: ok *but can't dance* enjoyment level 1-5 *highest*:5
ate ria's birthday bash in kyoto. went to club and spent the night dancing and drinking away. hehe.
have not been to club since SIBIL, march last year. but club this time around, unlike SIBIL did NOT turn strip club at 12 a.m. haha...
went with ate ann *sexy dynamite*, ian *fast hands*, allen *hidden talent*, ate ria *birthday girl*, ces *motte-motte girl*, ate beth *goshoukai sempai* , and drea *kyoudai sempai, club suki*
had a lot of fun!! highlight of the evening was when sempai identified guy dancing forever in front of the speakers as JUNPEI from ainori.(1)
JUNPEI!!!*was not my bet ever* hehe. but being the jologs that i am, felt this excitement about seeing someone from my favorite t.v. program in the flesh...
was not able to take a picture tho... as self was too chicken to do so *sorry ann sempai!!* m(_ _)m
allen gave a surprising perfomance in the dance floor. sasuga MR.SUAVE! haha. all gwapo while dancing with smirnoff in hand. asteeeeeeeeeg.
anti-climax came around 3-4 am tho... drank allergy med for alcohol *is actually not allowed to drink* and felt really sleepy. opted to people watch than dance. hehe! *as self is not a good dancer, this part was more FUN* hehe
 pretty osaka-jins *hehe*
 talented allen gassing up and getting ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeee
(1) ainori - ch.8 (Fuji TV) *am not sure* TV program where they get random normal japanese people (4 girls and 4 guys) and take them to different parts of the world. when one falls for someone, he or she can make kokuhaku to the person. when the person says yes, they will go back to japan together as boyfriend and girlfriend. when the person declines, the one who made kokuhaku returns alone, while the girl or boy continues his or her travel.
last week's ainori featured JUNPEI as he made kokuhaku to RICO. so this week we'll be seeing him again on TV. hehehe |

coffee 64 oz. reports done: 1 days left until vacation: 52 days (after which it's thesis writing time! @.@)
harassed.
felt the toxicity of studying for the first time in months (since july i think). is always near tears of frustation and fatigue as mouth goes on sudden vacation and eyes and brain work overtime. thinks about going home (as in the philippines) for the Nth time today.is seriously thinking over the idea of having to do this for 3 more years...
realize that self is partly to blame for toxicity as did nothing but asobi for half a sem. monbusho is doing payback time. hehe...
is starting to get tired of studying. getting tired of love. getting tired of life. must be a phase that everyone goes through during winter. *looks around* yep.
BUT
was able to finish report on time (hurray!!!). *^^* and accidentally met harry potter on the way home from favorite resto with drink bar.
回想モード：
*slowly walking home as trying to wrap up paper in mind*
trrrng! trrrng!
bell announces that a bike is trying to pass me by
*goes to sidiest side of sidewalk *harhar* and continues to zombie walk*
trrrrng! trrrng!
anubaaaah. tumabi na nga ako e-- *turns head and looks straight at HP's face*
biker guy turns out to be HP. hehe. great. small chat all the way home.
didn't have the energy to make pa-cute though. but still happy as God gave me the chance to recharge for the whole 15-min uphill walk towards home.
really afraid to think how much hp can affect my day. why is liking someone so stressful? liking someone should be a beautiful feeling, not something to be dreaded. why can't he like me the way i like him? why am i torturing mysel too much? *gasp* am i masochistic??!

really need to study but is having a hard time concentrating as feeling of homesickness has gone to ignorable to intolerable. decides to jot down a few entries before trying to be productive again. harhar.
surprise! surprise! a friend sent me pictures from last year's lantern parade. i was so バカ then that i forgot to bring my own digicam... kaya heto nakilimos ng pics...
can't believe that this was taken only 2 months before...
 ゆかた姿・・・ @ the tk tambayan with very cute eden and her qt lantern...
 With Lloyd and Suwaki-sensei. i kinda feel kawawa with my unlit lantern *T.T*
really had fun during the parade. for once became envious of carefree UP life.
is wishing to be carefree soon too... harhar
went to the family resto again earlier this evening this time with ann sempai. was able to study a little. wanted to study more but was distracted by suspicious looking jap guy in big yellow down jacket who kept on passing by the window.
at first didn't notice the guy too much but with BIG YELLOW DOWN JACKET someone's bound to notice. on guy's 8th passing by the window, could not convince self anymore that guy is harmless.
why?
because who in his right mind would walk back and forth outside in negative temp.?
only freaky guy in BIG YELLOW JACKET *hehe*
well, if i am wrong, my sincerest apologies to freaky guy... |
