And then there were only 2.

We were called the Tres Kapitanas . We were bonded for life by our one true passion: dance. The 3 of us became captains of the CSB Pep Squad consecutively: Mayette came after me, and then Tricia. I was able to handle them both during my captain and trainor days. Our beliefs and ethics similar; execution always perfect, movements upbeat and self-assured. Then, 12 hours ago, Tricia, one of the truest friends I have, left for the US of A. For good. No more 'Lean Back' groove partner. I'll miss your kaputian. Sad, really. Dazed, Mayette and I spent the rest of the afternoon and early night in Megamall and Podium. I'm never good at goodbyes. Be safe, Tricia. Just do the rock-a-way.

Hell yes.

Never knew my afternoons could get this hotter. And it's not even a weekend. But hell yes. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. *deep breath* I just love roller coaster rides. After the ride, can someone hand me a barf bag? Y'know, just in case...

Daddy. Part II.

Daddy! Happy Father's Day! Brought you flowers, and also the candles that you like, those scented ones that really smell good when burning. So, how's heaven? Your compadres keeping you company? Tong-its game every night, eh? Does the Johnny Walker taste better there? (Gee, I hope so...) Daddy... There never was a day that I didn't think of you, that I didn't miss you, that I did not wish you were still alive. I know you always check on me each and every night, making sure that my door is locked. I know because I hear the wooden planks outside my door creak and I'd hear the doorknob crank a little. It makes me sleep better knowing you were just outside my bedroom door. Before your passing, on weekend nights (and weekday nights as well) those wooden planks that creak, I avoid stepping on them when I'd sneak out for a gimmick with clothes in my arms and my heels stashed in the kitchen downstairs. For the longest time, I didn't think you knew. Until mama told me...

Music Baton.

Fine. I don't really like doing these things but since it was aajao , I'd make an exception. Total volume of music files in my computer: 1980 songs, 9.7 days, 10.39 GB. Haha. I'm a music junkie, what more can I say? Last CD I bought: Latest CDs I bought were: Drip's Far Side of the World Thievery Corporation's The Cosmic Game Sneaker Pimps' Bloodsport Gary V's Soul Full Apo's Ten Years Together and Feet On The ground albums Song Playing Right Now: Roam by The B-52's . Reminds me of my high school days. Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: Hmm. According to iTunes the 5 most played songs in my library are: 1> Breathe by Télépopmusik Reminds me of this 'one-night-turning-into-day' of absolute bliss. Was watching the sun rise in Boracay in front of Willy's with my cousins and friends, drinking strawberry champagne to end our 7-day stay on the island. Was not sober yet wasn't drunk enough. Perfect. 2> We Need A R...

Wednesday blues.

*****Will not delete this post. This will be a reminder of how stupid and deranged I was for the past couple of months. Hehe. It was just an ordinary day for me, like every shift for the past month. I was fine. Until we saw each other today. It was so natural for you. Like nothing ever happened. Like we were just old friends that lost contact over the years... It was sad because you never uttered my name. It was like...you've forgotten it. I'm sorry, I didn't even stop when you called out to me. I just smiled at you and I walked away. I didn't want to stop and then fall all over again... But you have no idea how much I missed you; of how much I wanted to touch your face and your lips; of how much I wanted to hear you say my name. You have no idea... You'll never know.

Plain and True.

Enlightening discussions sometimes happen with the most unlikely people. You hear the purest truth, the barest opinion, the harshest advice. When you hear everything in its plain-est and truest form, that's when everything sinks in and then you begin to understand... and then you learn to accept. Oh, the simplicity of it all. She may have never been in a relationship but her words cut deep like a knife with a jagged edge. Nothing like wisdom from the mouth of a virgin. Haha.

Of Straight Shifts and Teddies Part II

Image
Straight shift: 3pm to 12mn then 12mn to 9am. Yes, I was on straight shift again. Hay. Had to offset my absence Thursday night. Thank you, Valium, for the wonderful and dreamless sleep. Hehe. Did this entry at 6:43 am, Saturday. Was in the office. Actually, was on petix mode because I completed my quota, and then some more, around 2 hours before my shift ends, so I used 'JM' to blog while waiting for log-out time. Sheesh. I think I won't be eating pizza for the next couplaweeks. Was too full. Ugh. I treated my officemates to 2 18" Yellow Cab pizzas for the reason that I got promoted to QAA3 ! Yipeee! Hehe. It was effective March 15 but was only announced and the memo forwarded to me Wednesday. Whew. Not bad na rin since March was just my 8th month on the job. Aiah and Krissy , they played a nasty trick on me that Wednesday night ( Aiah even posted it on her blog, btw). When I got to my station, I started opening my templates for rating when Krissy asked me if I...

Of Pink Pussycats and Dog Wisdom.

It was Tuesday. GA. Did nothing for half the shift. Pumasok lang kami sa office para mag-browse, kumain, mag-browse ulit, at uminom ng alak. Hell, yeah . Uploaded the pics in Multiply. I was able to try out this drink in ICE Greenbelt: Pink Pussycat . Yuuuuuum. Strawberry vodka, with strawberry bits, and more vodka. If we stayed long enough I could've downed 5 of these sa sarap. Pakshet. I want more. And the music. Argh. Parang sinusundan talaga ako. In Ice, they played the 2 songs I never wanted to hear again in my entire life...when we went to Temple pinatugtog din sila. Took all of my self-control to keep it together. The fuck. One good thing about Tuesday, aside from the drunken stupor... I checked my salary and nagulat ako sa amount. I had to ask Janey to check the amount just so I'm sure I'm seeing things right. Wow....can I jump for joy now?! Anyway, I was re-reading Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul and I came across this entry. Author Unknown eh so I ca...
