I've never been this sad my entire life. I've never been this lost. I've never been so thankful for the friends I have. I've never prayed this hard for myself. I've never needed so much strength.
Five years down the drain.
We remembered how she would slightly hit us with her meter stick everytime we, her makulit grandchildren, imitate the boom shigi shigi waa shigi shigi oooowa thingie of Shaider where Kuya would pretend to be the ‘Alah’ and we’d be following him with our arms raised and waving as if praising ‘Alah’. Hahaha
I remember when I was on night shift, I would go straight to Lola’s house during Saturday mornings and she’d cook a sunny side up egg and have her helper buy me bread from Aling Puring. Lola makes the perfect sunny side up in the whole wide world! As in!
We also thought about the meriendas Lola bought us then: ogoy ogoy from Mitz’ na sinasawsaw sa juice or milo, binatog from manong binatog, bitso from batang mambibitso. And we’ll never forget her famous ulam, ginisang pechay and kamote cut in 1cm by 1cm pieces. It doesn’t actually tastes good but we eventually learned to eat it. Haha.
I won’t forget how she told me not to allow anyone to touch my hand. Hahaha. She’s not strict though. Just being a conservative Filipina. (Even though she got married at 18, wahahaha, oh well, uso naman yun dati.)
Sweetness doesn’t come naturally from her. She’s actually mataray most of the time. When she’s concerned with any of her relatives, she says it in a taray tone. I don’t know how she does it, but she still always makes us feel loved. Lola turned 78 this October. I hope that she will always be happy and worry free. Angabyu Ngonga Ngows!

It wasn't a "bite" bite, just a scratch-like wound. It was rather a pa-cute bite that I actually don't find cute.
I told my brother about the incident. He was trying to convice me to go see a doctor but: (1) it was raining hard in Makati; (2) I don't know where to go; (3) my health card was in my wallet that was stolen by a potangnang magnenekew; and (4) i don't have the time. Kuya warned me that it's serious... blah blah blah so I got scared. He even called me to check if I was on my way to the hospital and I almost cried in the middle of our conversation, but I tried not to. After our conversation, I found myself crying in the ladies room. Baket?
I realized that in two weeks I will no longer have a Kuya near me. I am used to having a Kuya to the rescue, a Kuya who tells me I'm stupid when I'm tanga, a Kuya who believes I can do anything and that I'll go far, a Kuya who inspires me, a Kuya who spoils me, a Kuya who makes sandwiches, salads, barbeque sauce, pizza etc, blah blah blah.
He had his son call me early this evening to sing me rock-a-by-baby. I will surely miss that. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko pag malayo na si Kuya. Kawawang iyaking Ainah. Bow.

I had a dream. Is it possible that you don't want to wake up because you're having a good dream? :) I swear that was how I felt this morning. I really tried not to wake up so I got here at the office, 10 minutes before 11am :)
Here's my dream:
It was around 8pm, I guess, somewhere I don't know. I went to a dance audition (yes, dance!) after work. I did not tell anyone about me joining the audition cos I know they'll laugh at me. Hahaha. I got there alone, and then when I was waiting for my turn, I realized The Dawn was just beside me and then Francis Reyes saw me and said, "uy Ainah, musta? sasayaw ka? diba nagwowork ka? kamusta na kayo ni bart?
(then I forgot what happened)
basta there's this nice guy pa... i can't remember what his role in my dream was. Wehehe.
I think I don't want my dream to end cos I wanna see myself dance. Bwahahaha.
And why? why? why was The Dawn in my dream? :) Hahaha!
Waiiit.... Billy Crawford was there too! He gave me a hug before my audition. Ahihi. Crush ko si Billy Crawford... kamusta naman yun? Hahaha!
Though I'm busy today, I made sure to find time to do this because it's an honor to be tagged by Timmy Cruz. Here's the list of 15 weird things about me..
1. I like sleeping beside nanay with my hand in her armpit.
2. I get hurt when people call me ‘tanga’ even if it’s just a joke.
3. I almost got kidnapped when I was 6 years old.
4. I was a member of Milo Club and Flying House club :)
5. I’m too lazy to fit the clothes before buying them.
6. Most of my crushes are singkit. (Eto talaga weird! Hahaha)
7. I believe that people who have bilog bilog sweats in their nose are jealous. I started having these bilog bilog sweats when I turned 20 and became a jealous person since then. hahaha
8. I sometimes feel out of place when I’m with my girlfriends :(
9. I believe I’m gonna die single.
10. I don’t like washing dishes in other people’s sink because I don’t want to use other people’s sponge. Nandidiri ako humawak ng sponge ng ibang tao.
11. I was already 22 when I got inside a hula hoop and hula hooped for the first time.
12. I want to get sick and be confined in a hospital for a week.
13. My room in our house in LB became a large closet when I moved to Makati. I sleep in the master’s bedroom with nanay and tatay and luis when I go home.
14. I have never cooked corned beef all my life; I was very proud when I learned how to cook sunny side up egg; I once made a macaroni salad… macaroni salad as in macaroni, mayonnaise and chicken lang, hahahaha!
15. I have mastered the art of starving. I’d rather starve than cook something for myself. I’d choose not to eat with my family when I know it’s my turn to wash the dishes so that I won’t be the one to wash them because I did not eat. I don’t eat when I feel lazy to buy food.
I'll tag Jiggy, Plong, Kavie, Jana and Golda. (Not that I don't know you guys, but you're my only friends who have online journal. Hahaha)
You know the Colgate toothpaste with the cooling crystals thingie? I don't know if it's just me or there's something there that i don't know. I find myself separating a number of cooling crystals from the gel and have them melt in my tongue one by one. Seriously, what's wrong with me?
1.
People gets so plastic and sweet when borrowing money. You know when they become plain? When they already have your money. They act as if wishing you will forget they owe you. Won't even make any effort to assure you they are planning to pay you back. To think they give all their effort and reasons and lies and chuchus just to make us pity them. But it's not sympathy they need. They need cash. We should learn to lend our money only to those who know the concept of borrowing money. And those na hindi na kelangan tanungin kung kelan nila balak magbayad.
P.S. I am not madamot.
2.
People gets annoying when they are annoyed of something. They rant about this and that not knowing their ranting is just as annoying as what's infuriating them. Them = tweetums people.
P.S. Maarte ako pero hindi kasing arte nila.
3.
People gets mad when you did something wrong. They even get madder at you when they did something wrong. Even madder when you tell them they are wrong. Even madder madder when you argue that they are wrong. Even madder madder madder when they realize they are really wrong. I can't describe how mad they are. They are mad. Really mad.
P.S. He's a relative. hehehe. Is it in the genes? :)
4.
People gets moody when they think they are moody. They find reason why their moodiness should be excused and accepted. Even annoying when they act as if you're the reason of their mood swings. I don't know if they just want us to please them or treat them like a higher being and always have our heads down when talking to them. I am not to adjust to annoying moody people. Nek nek nila. Pare pareho lang tayong hindi nakukuha ang gusto natin.
P.S. moody ba ako?
5.
People gets very good in telling you something not straight to the point when they don't want to look bad in the end. They know how to deprive you of your chance to make angal about this and that. They can even tell you what kind of person you are without exactly telling what you really are.
P.S. annoying sila pero i love them!
6.
People gets sweet when they are guilty of something. Something = anything
P.S. annoying sila and i'm one of them. :)
Ahehehe. Sorry na nanay. Alabyu! Mwah!
oha. ayus sa music. hihihi
Parents ni nanay: Juan and Rosario
Parents ni tatay: Ambrosio and Julia
Ang ganda noh? Pero parang mas bagay yung Juan and Julia tapos Ambrosio and Rosario. Hahaha. Ayus. Wala lang ulit. Tapos ang pangalan ng mga kapatid ni tatay ay:
Pinay(Rufina)
Ida(Zenaida)
Ipay(Josefina?)
Hineng(Herminia?)
Ises(Moses)
Domeng(Dominador)
Nardeng(Leonardo)
Yung pangalan ng mga kapatid ni nanay eh medyo modern na. Hindi ko na isasama. Hehehehe.
Haha. So ano ngayon? Alam ko wala kayo pake. Gusto ko lang ilagay sa blog ko for future reference. Hahaha
Petiks nga eh! Ano ba!
I was already wearing an oo-naaalala-na-kita-teacher-kita-dati look so she continued the conversation she started saying, 'Nakakatuwa naman graduate ka na achuchuchu' So I bragged about my being a working girl already. Awwww. Ang saya. Natutuwa daw siya :) Or maybe when I was in nursery she thought: "Ah etong batang to walang patutunguhan to. Maaga to mabubuntis tapos hindi makakatapos ng school" that's why she's happy for me now. Hahaha.
She also asked me who else were my batchmates... errr uhmm ok... I was only able to name *bleep*bleep* (i.e., my crushie crush crush dati) and forgot the rest. Bwahaha. Siya lang talaga naalala ko! Haha!
Anyway, I don't think she still remembers my name. I can't recall her name either. Hehe. I just call her Teacher Inggay because that's what tatay calls her when we see her around the campus. Hehe. I can't think of anything that would make her recognize me after almost 20 years. I was just an average little nursery girl with awfully curly hair, bulok teeth and dark skin. Ampanget! Haha! Ayun. Hello, teacher inggay. It was nice to see you again. :)
BAKIT KELANGAN ALL CAPS ANG REPLY SA KIN? NAPAKA UNPROFESSIONAL
ANG MATINDI, SIYA NA YUNG MALI, HINDI PA NAGSORRY!
PUTANGINA! YUN LANG!
LECHE!
Happy Valentine's day/TIIS day/SAD day.
Tae. Hehe.
Later!
We have foreign visitors to celebrate New Year with us. My tita's boyfriend from US of A and two Korean boys who are staying with my Tito for two months. I wanted to have a picture with them saying United Colors of Benetton. Oo na, ako yung negra! Tse! But then I had a hard time to talk with the Korean boys. They're not that good in English yet so we always do hand gestures when conversing with them. And... they are always hungry!!! Hungry!!! Nakakatuwa. I thought Koreans smell bad, but these kids don't. Hehe. They go straight to bathroom and take a bath the moment they wake up. Ayus din. Damusak nga lang lagi sa banyo namin :)
New year's eve was disappointing for me. I only saw few fireworks in our place. :( Lola's house was in between neighbors who were fond of Judas' belt. So hello nonstop Judas belts!!! Our clan didn't even had torotot!!! Poor us. Hehehe. Thanks to magic sing I created too much noise enough to annoy my relatives. Bwaha-ha-ha.
