Quarter Life Musings

For lack of a better title.

My mind is quite fuzzy now that I again lack sleep. Nevertheless, I’m watching Wild Sex on National Geographic and thinking of how I will compose the longest blog of 2005 hehehe. A few minutes ago I was attempting to jazz up an old black tank top with red sequins. In time for Valentine’s Day? Whatever. The elephants are doing it now. After 45 minutes there’s a liter of semen and quite a messy female bottom. Apparently the bull is a young Casanova who’s trying his luck on Mrs. Robinson. Parental Guidance, people!

I have so much to write I dunno where to start. A lot has happened the last week and I’m afraid any minute now this freaking PC will shut down again. Grr. But someone has asked me to recount a moment that happened Friday night.

Amidst the coffee-scented, smoky yet well-lit bit of space outside a concrete structure in the middle of Ortigas (was it?) I was listening to George’s "Breathe In Now" on your iPod with a dirty blue sock (I hope you had washed it this weekend) and you were puffing your 3rd stick for the day (was it? - again) You see her from the corner of your eye emerging alone from the darkness and walking towards the pedestrian lane to cross the street. You probably wouldn’t remember anything as mundane as the number of shopping bags she was carrying, except for the fact that she looked lonely (or so you say). She didn’t see us looking at her but I somewhat felt the loneliness too. You say it was the result of her previous actions that made her so. But then again, we may just be imagining things. It can also be that she was then delirious with joy but chose not to show it to anyone… But the question is, are you going to do something about that?

The water buffaloes are into speed dating?! Geez.

It’s funny I’ve been watching Blue’s Clues for the last three days already hehehe. Aside from the fact that Joe looked so much like Geoff Eigenmann (oh no here I am again with my kabaduyan), I begin to appreciate these kinds of shows. After all I need to act like such when I go back to school on January 4. And I’ll see my kids again, I can’t wait!

Last night we had our annual caf get together dinner at Recipes Greenbelt. Jason went home for the holidays kasi. Wala lang, I always feel good whenever I see them, it’s like family Sige tama na before I get teary eyed again hehehe…

It’s been a while since I last blogged. The kids had their Christmas program last Friday and I’ve posted the pictures here. Aren’t they the most adorable creatures?! It’s quite obvious who’s my favorite hehehe. When Monty entered the school I think my heart skipped a beat hahaha! Heartbreaker itong batang to! *Sigh* I hope I’d have a son as handsome as him. His mom’s really pretty and apologized for not having a gift for me. The other children gave me gifts too and it really made me feel good

More to come about my kids, after I have my PC fixed (the RAM’s f***** up again grrr). Enjoy the pictures!

I again saw one of my favorite movies of all time on Star Movies this afternoon. Android Andrew Martin never fails to make me cry. And kanina I was bawling na naman, especially during the scene where the President of the World Congress declared that Andrew Martin is the longest living human being in history and he didn’t live long enough to hear it. Portia then decided to end her life too. *Sigh* I don’t know if seeing old people in movies make me cry (another one would be the old couple embracing as they lie on the bed about to be engulfed by the waters in Titanic), or if it’s because I’ll not live up to a ripe old age or if it’s because there won’t be anyone to keep me company when I grow old, which is my biggest fear actually… And there’s another scene that made me cry - where Sir Martin was sitting quiet after the wedding reception and there was a hologram of him dancing with Little Miss. I could just imagine what it would be like at my own wedding with my dad symbolically giving me away. Just the thought of it makes tears well up in my eyes

Today wasn’t an exception in terms of waking up. Just like any other day this week I really had a hard time. That’s why when I got home at 3pm I slept and didn’t wake up until 7pm. I haven’t even seen my Mom yet, they went to some Christmas party.

I thought there wasn’t anything good I could write about today until John texted me to say that when he showed his wife the blue lizard keychain I gave him, she said, "That’s you!" He told me that he’s really into lizards and that he once had a henna tattoo of one on his back and he didn’t know that he was allergic pala to henna and that his tattoo began to look like a really big blister shaped like a lizard. He found it even more cool than the actual tattoo hehehe I made him choose between three colors - royal blue, aqua blue and silver, and he wanted all three, but eventually got the aqua. I’m really glad I got the lizards instead of the keys.

Before the class started he treated me to a peppermint hot chocolate at Starbucks. It was probably the longest time I ever spoke to him. For the rest of the class we were both restless and he even said he thinks he has ADD hahaha. That guy is really funny. Too bad we won’t be classmates next term. But it was a good thing we got to be friends.

PBB Big Night na! Sana manalo si Jason para magpakain si Bes ng streetkids sa Jollibee Haaay Sam.. ang gwapo mo talaga…

101st post!

Monty and Joshua got the yellow and green phones and pretended to talk to Schumacher.

M: Hey Schumacher what’s up? Yeah really you’re in Japan! (reading a sign that says ‘Japan’ on the blackboard). Hey can I race with you? Oh my god really? That’s so cool! Haha you’re funny! So when are you coming over to the Philippines. Let’s set a meeting ok? Bye.
J: Let me call Star Sports.
M: No I’ll call Star Sports too! (and he dials) Schumacher it’s you again! Oh my god. Yeah the race? I’ll race with you ha! Ok bye.

Monty gets two panels and pretends they are his laptop. "Teacher, I’ll email Schumacher and tell him to come over here so we can race. I connected my phone na to the computer. It’s dialing come on!"

Haaay. Such darlings And this boy looks like Aga Muhlach. Joshua, on the other hand, was imitating whatever Monty was saying and he even cried at one point because Monty didn’t want him to sit beside him during circle time. So instead, he sat on my lap. After a few minutes Monty crept over and sat beside me haha. He even sat on my lap when Joshua went to the bathroom.

Pasaway talaga ako. I didn’t know I was supposed to be at the school at 7:45 and NOT 8:30 this morning, which I only found out after 2 classes hehehe. And I didn’t even have my essay with me. Ano ba Tere? Tapos I left the notebook pa inside the classroom. Grrr. Absentminded me. You could call it a miracle when they asked me to go back tomorrow for the same group of children. IS THIS IT?!

This has got to be the one of my most enjoyable days. ANG KULIT NILA MONTY AT JOSHUA! Sobrang dadaldal walang kapaguran itong mga poging batang to. It’s so funny that they know a lot about Schumacher and race cars at their age. Tishi and Bianca are very affectionate. Good thing they liked the action song I prepared for them. I should have printed pictures for my story but it was too long for their attention span.

When I left, that’s when I felt really tired. I was contemplating if I could still manage a few more hours in the gym before I went home. But I still did, I suddenly thought of all the sweets I won’t be refusing in the next few weeks hehehe

A lot of things to groan about today. (1) First day of my monthly visit. I feel really weak. I just want to lie down in this green couch in the library and sleep the afternoon off. I feel bloated, nauseated, I feel FAT!!! (2) My teacher remarked that I seemed to be gaining weight *sob sob* I know I’m guilty of this. I’ve been eating like there’s no tomorrow. And it’s all because of the hormones. That’s it. Yeah right blame the hormones nu-ni-nu-ni-nu… Kasi nagbirthday mom and lola ko eh. And this event at the Pen. And another pamatay na month in terms of dieting is December. Waaaah! Next week I will go back to my thrice-a-week regimen and eating 2x a day. I hope I can manage. (3) I smell like the cafeteria. This is absolutely my hatest smell! I should’ve brought an extra shirt. Bad trip na ko buong araw nito grrr… (4) School workload. I have a paper to write (plus prepare a presentation), a book report, a child study presentation which I haven’t even started on yet. Sigh. And I plan to sleep pa naman until my make up class at 3. (5) The makeup class later. I could have gone home and continued watching Roman Holiday but noooo… the teacher had to beg us to come to class this afternoon. So that means I’ll be staying at school for 10 hours on a Saturday! *GROAN!*

Sorry but this the closest we’ve gone to capture MiG. We were in line (albeit too magulo to be called such) for taking pictures with him when the organizers whisked him away to the backstage again. He looks really mabait, walang star complex. Sayang he didn’t rip his shirt hehehe. Thanks Bianx really for dragging me last night. Sorry the pictures with him on stage were too dark… can Photoshop do something about it?

For trying to catch MiG, nakalimutan ko Bamboo was on stage hehehe. Before MiG was Urban Dub (I dunno if I heard it right) and they were also good. Astig yung girl bassist!!! If only I was allowed to have a drum set before, I’m sure nasa band na ko ngayon (naks!). Before them was Parokya I think. Ang kulit ni CHito sobra!!! Crush ko talaga si Buwi He resembles my crush from college si Miguel Herrera mwahahaha! (May nakakaalala pa kaya sa kanya?) We weren’t able to catch Kitchie (we were looking for a parking space), but was able to watch Aia of Imago. Kulasa nga pala yun. Astig ha. Newfound respect for Pinoy bands. Ang gagaling nila lahat, nagenjoy ako. Sayang di namin naabutan Itchyworms. Naku Bianx kung nakita ka ni Jugs ano gagawin mo?
