Future



I have never actually thought that I' be where I am now. The future I had in mind when I was a kid is far fetched to what I've become. But I never regret anything. I still stand to the fact that everything happens for a reason. He put me where I am now to be of service to Him. I just hope I'm doing it well.. =)

I'm actually more of a "live day by day" person. I let the course of events take me to wherever I'll be. But this afternoon as I was texting with blowfish there's one future I look forward to. It may be simple but is so worthwhile to look forward to. And I'll be super happy when it finally comes true. And like what we said to each other, no matter how long it may take to wait for that event to happen.. we will make it happen. =)

Selfish...


I think it all began when I wrote in my plurk that I was hoping for something sweet and special to happen on Valentine's day. What happened on my Valentine's day?

It started with ate and I chatting and greeting each other Happy Valentine's Day even if it's like 3 minutes pa till the clock strikes 12.. hehe.. =p Then slept around 2 am (I was just re-reading her blog and I lost track of time..=p)

Then I woke up at 5 to wake-up Kitty. I had hard time going back to sleep since I feel like she's not going out of the bed when she needs to be in school early for their group defense. 5:30.. 6:00, finally she got out of bed. Then after few minutes, she asked help from me to fix her hair and I initiated to put soft make-up on her. I was only able to go back to sleep around 7 am and slept till 10 am.

I was kinda excited for the upcoming prom. Took a bath right after I fixed my bed. Dressed up.. Ate brunch.. Borrowed accessories from ma.. Went to Ness Astillas for my hair and make-up (thanks to Lester for my make-up and Fritzy for my hair.. love 'em).. Then off to Edsa Shangri-La.. I was expected to be there at 2 pm but I was an hour early. I met with the other teachers at Basilan Room where they were having their lunch. Then, I accompanied Mrs. Duran to her room together with Mr. Andres and Mr. Sangco. After they freshened-up and all, they left me in the room to look after their things. But just after a few minutes, Mr. Andres went back together with the teachers from the Angeles Branch and Mrs. Milante. Then, I went back to Basilan Room with Mr. Andres and Mrs. Milante. I wrote the ranking of the Prom Royalties in preparation for the coronation night.. =)

Then the time to dress-up came. Mrs. Canet and I went together to the registration area. But before we did, we stopped by the photo corner (Mang Bob, I'm looking forward to those pictures)

Registration started as students kept coming.. It was so toxic there but we were able to manage.

Prom started.. Program went well.. Had time for free dance.. And the kilig moment happened.. not to me though..

Time to go.. went out with Marie and Erwin at Malate.. Drank Cali and Tequilla.. Danced and danced some more.. 4am.. Went to Monumento.. Had breakfast at Jollibee and we talked about a lot of stuff.. 5:30, brought Marie to the bus station going Bulacan.. 6 am.. I got home.. Had fun with all those.. thanks Marie and Erwin.

What has the title got to do with all that I've already written?

While Kitty and I were on our way to Shangrila Mall to watch a movie, I was really quiet. I was actually thinking. When Kitty was done eating and started talking to me, I then verbalized what I felt, what I realized.

I told her it was my first time to feel what it is to be a jerk. I could've made the "Night of Nights" better but I let my jealousy got the best of me.. I'm really sorry.
I felt so selfish for I was hoping for something special and sweet to happen to me on Valentine's Day, yet I didn't do anything to make anyone's Valentine's Day special and sweet. And when it didn't happen to me, I got all jealous when it happened to a very close friend. I think I even kinda ruined her and another person's "happy valentine's". I was crying to Kitty when I was telling her all these, but definitely lessons were learned.

Marley and Me


DO NOT READ.. If you haven't watched the movie yet and if you don't want to get spoiled by this entry!

The movie is a "feel good" one.. Marley is so cute and he reminds me of my own dog named almost after me, Trina.

I got Trina for P300 (or my mom bought Trina for me) when I was 13 years old.. It's my mom's "teen" birthday gift for me. She was the only one left in the basket of this lady in Binondo. I found her really cute and I really insisted on having her. When we got home and was thinking of a name for her, what I had in mind was Trixie, cause I want the prefix "tri" to remind me of how much we got her.. pretty lame.. haha.. Then my cousin said, "Why not Trina" .. there goes the name. Oh by the way, she's just a mongrel (mix breed) but more of a labrador.. that's why Marley reminded me of her.

What else do Marley and Trina have in common?
  1. They chew almost anything when they were young
  2. They are both afraid of thunder
  3. They wait by the door when they feel us near our house already from school
  4. They both went to heaven "quietly"
It was May 1, 2000 when Trina left us, I really cried after we buried her in a vacant lot near our apartment. I tried taking care of other dogs after her but it seems like I never had the same luck. Probably cause I'm looking for her in those other dogs I had. I stopped trying after they keep on leaving me.

It was a real joy having Trina as my best friend during my teenage life.. And now, like Marley in the movie, she's in heaven playing with and guarding my little brother Jericho and my Mom. I MISS YOU ALL!

PS: Marley made me cry. My eyes were all red after. It was worthwhile watching it. =')
