home alone

time : 6:14 pm
status : alone, bored, and "kill-me-now" embarassed

yup, i am home alone. our house helper left to go shopping galore at divi. my folks went to a meeting and will be coming back late in the evening. ate miday, my older sis, stayed at a hotel for a company presentation, and my youngest sis just left to go to her school's annual christmas party ("paskuhan").

grabe, i have the house to myself! there are a lot of "food supplies", namely a pot filled with lasagna, a container full of buko pandan for desert, chocolate cake (oops! di pala akin yun..hahaha) weepee! pero all these perks came with a price.. for starters i'm left with all the "merchandise" and all the errands that are to be done by our helper who, as i mentioned earlier, went on a day off.. one of those errands was to sell our "product" (eggs to noh! di drugs.. hehehe), our helper, ate myrna, usually does this.

all the work was fine for me...
but why should anyone i know see me at my worst this day?!
i wore a tanktop and my comfortable pj's, (with my hair drenched from just coming out of the shower) when a childhood friend saw me handing something hto his mom at our front gate. grabe, parati na lang nya kong nakikita na di nakaayos to think that this childhood friend / playmate is a "childhood sweetheart" rin.. bad trip talaga! this wasn't the only time i saw him looking like my worst. when my cousins and i were bonding with a college friend, who happens to be his sister, he saw me again. this time i was on a "caffeine high" (from 3 mugs of coffee i drank) like i'm drunk or something, with matching "pang-aasar" ng cousins ko sa min. they were trying to pimp me and i was laughing to death.. as in sabog!

grabe, how can i put my best foot forward and show that i've changed a great deal since we were kids, when he keeps on seeing me like this!

hopeless na talaga!

comin' out of my "sheltered" shell

i just came home this morning at around 8am. for the first time in my college life, i stayed overnight at school for no reason at all. whoa! ultimate breakthrough. you may think that it's kind of shallow.. but for a person who is as "sheltered" as i am, it is a breakthrough. my friends even congratulated me for this.. hehe.. and the "sheltered" nickname came from them too. my folks aren't that strict.. they even let me stay up till 2am at a friend's house back in highschool--on a school day just for a gimmick. you may be wondering why, right? we had this pact that at highschool they'll be allowing me on these gimmicks and at college they'll be screening my whereabouts. ironic huh? when you're supposed to be independent when entering this "milestone" in your life, you'll end up limited. i hold no grudge against my folks and besides, i had my fair share of "good times" back in highschool anyway. most especially when a lot of students way back, never had that privilege, and would die to have such (writer laughs devilishly).

it was a long day.. i left my house at 1pm for the lantern parade, which started at 3pm. my sentimental mood was on because it was my "last" lantern parade (sorry jay i used the term we were pretty much avoiding). as usual the assembly started an hour late, what's new? fine arts talaga... tsk tsk.. the theme was "the four elements".. the whole entourage consisted of body and pole masks, and floats each representing the earth, wind, fire and water.. there even was a "smoke"-breathing dragon.. who puffs O-shaped smoke ala "yosi guru". my friends and i decided to parade while wearing masks, which we made of course hehe.. (writer brags, "kami pa!"). one of my friends, maurice, wore this costume with a faucet placed stategically at his "you know what". hehe we ended up laughing.. how "conceptual".. and the faucet really was spewing water out.. hehe (imagine that! my gosh how scandalous!). tourists and onlookers even had our pictures taken, and we felt like "celebrities" (that was what my friends said, but i felt more of a mascot in a parade at Disney than that.. sikat pa rin Disney e? mickey mouse move over!). the "picture takers" were quite entertaining. the comments of the audience were flattering. oh the fascination, my gosh, we almost left their mouths open at amazement.. (writer slightly raises both hands, and brags, "well..").

then we "gate-crashed" at a friend's party. the party was a bit "boring", because everyone stayed in a corner like a bunch of wallflowers. the night was young then. but later on, inhibitions were set aside and before we knew it we were dancing to the tunes of (for those of you who aren't 90's babies, the following are the songs and dance crazes we grew up with) "macarena" , "lick it", the spice girls and singing our hearts out with the backstreet boys and 98 degrees.. and i would like to thank my friend, ela, for creating such reminiscent playlists.

the night, morning actually, wasn't over for a couple of my friends and i. we ended up having a "bonding session" at jollibee for coffee. we gabbed about life, love, sex, other serious matters, reminiscing moments and sex. see the cycle? people say we tend to do that because of (coining jay's term) "primal instincts". funny how when we talked about topics of substance no one at the place was around, and when we talked about sex people came flooding in. maybe people who overhear us thought we were a bunch of "sexually active" kids.. and i am "sheltered" at that my gosh! at 4 or 5am, we kind of "fastfood resto" hopped and went to McDonald's for breakfast.. i had a McJelly sundae.. wow healthy.. and gabbed again. this time without the sex part.. hehe (naughty talaga!) we parted at around 6:30 or 6:45am..

whoa!

p.s. i'll be posting the pictures next time.. cause i haven't uploaded them yet.. i'm also waiting for the screen caps my friend will be giving me..

chicken! buck!buck!

i chickened out..

after a day and a half of sacrificing my beloved "fattening" foods,
i caved in for a plate of pasta...

i was obsessing about how i weigh that i decided to join in the "7-day-diet" group.. (which consists my mom and my youngest sister..) well i think i wasn't designed to bear such a thing anyway.. i think i didn't have enough self-control and right mindset to really, really get through a week of dieting.. besides i didn't feel i was losing a single pound, even if my sister told me you wouldn't really feel it and see it instantly. i dunno maybe i'd be convinced if i felt sweating and burning it out on a treadmill or something..

don't get me wrong.. i love myself and how i look.. even if, sometimes, it is a fact that people tend to go on crash diets because they become insecure.. i'm not trying to justify what i've gone through by saying "i did it because of curiousity".. let's just say i got tired of my "junk-ey" lifestyle.. eating bags and bags of chips.. buhay-baboy talaga!.. i was detoxifying my beloved body from its filthy impurities.. which actually worked even for one and a half short days..

oh well..
