Day 25 - The character that is most like you

I don't really know, not exactly "ka-ugali" but I want to be like them! haha

Conversation 101: Talk

I always talk to him but I haven't read His words since I finished high school. Now, that I got the chance to read it again, feels like I'm home. Para akong isang batang nawala tapos may tumapik at bigla na lang bumalik ako sa bahay namin. That's what i felt when i first opened the page of the most important book that I haven't opened for four years.

I have conversations with Him everyday, its just that its not that intense anymore. Not like when I was still a kid when I tell everything to Him even though I know that He already knows what I will say. While i was reading His words, I thought that something in me screams that, "FINALLY.. you came back."

I don't know if its just coincidence but I know that He's the one who made it happen. I don't want to share the details baka kasi maudlot pa but, THANK YOU. Thank You for hearing my mom's prayers. All our prayers. Thank you for waiting for me. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Now I'm back I'll try to talk to you more. :)

Day 24 - Your favourite Blair one-liner

Blair: I'm gonna kiss somebody someday, and when I do, it will be for me.

Pathetic! Suburban moralists in mom jeans. I'd pity them if I wasn't worried they'd spill orange soda on my Christian Louboutins.

Blair: If you wanna be part of this world, Jenny, people will talk. Eventually. You gotta decide if all this is worth it.

Blair: (to Georgina) Haven't you heard? I'm the crazy bitch around here

Day 23 - Most annoying character

of course vanessa abrams and jack bass!

Day 22 - Your favourite crack ship

I hope they would stay the same, sometimes enemy sometimes semi friend. I love their lines to each other. Funny how they hate each other so much but talk about serious things when their on a hard situation. They both love Serena :)) haha

Pork and Beans

Twelve years ago, I was just a little plump girl who wakes up early with her brother to have breakfast before going to school. We always have a routine, wake up, eat breakfast, take a bath, put our clothes on then go to school blah blah blah. And yes, Pork Beans! We usually eat pork and beans during breakfast or when we don't like the food when its dinner time, its what our "kasambahay" serves us. To be exact it's Hunt's pork and Beans :)). So, Pork & Beans really played a large part in our lives while we were growing up.

Then as time travel by so fast, that little plump girl is still fat but all grown up. She has now decisions of her own that sometimes negated by her mother. She is more bubbly and talkative than before. Unlike the little her, she speaks her mind out. She is still shy at times but more confident to face other people. And like Pork and beans which she hasn't eaten for years (just this morning again that's why she came up with this post) she had get rid of the things on her usual routine.

This morning, I have realized many things. Those happy/sad times will remain as beautiful memories of my childhood. I'm just glad that God gave me the chance to know my mother more.

When she's still in Saudi, I only get to spend time with her during vacation for 45 days while Papa for 30 days. That's the usual routine. They work then they come home for a limited time to relax and bond with us.

That changed when Mama stayed in the Philippines for good (last 2005). We have known each other more. Yes, we have an open communication when she's still working but its different when you get to spend time with her everyday. She is now the one who prepares food every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tita Edios (she's our guardian since we were brought here in the Phil, she's mama's sister. and credits to her we have grown as disciplined and respectful children of Rey and Ilig! :)) is now free from waking up early, preparing everything and worrying if we're not yet home. Those tasks were suddenly passed on to Mama.

Imagine, Kuya had a dengue and I was hospitalized because of anemia. Mama's there with Tita. (Tita and I always talk about this, she's saying na kung siya lang daw mag isa nun, hindi niya talaga kakayanin)

And because we get to spend more time with Mama, we are prone to fighting. :))

Mama have already seen our mood swings, kuya's baltikin side and my maldita attitude.

We have already seen mama's flaws ( hello noone's perfect right ) and how she's applying the rules of lolo (very old yet disciplined rules) to us. Mama, is not a soft spoken mother (don't kill me ma!) she always talks with a high pitch tone which irritates us especially Kuya! Mama love showbiz so much and she's always affected on what's going on on television. There are times that she'll end up crying with the celebrity while Kuya will tease him "Kaano ano mo yan? Bat nakikiiyak ka?" There are times that we hate the rules that she imposes and be pissed of on how she worries about things that shouldn't be worried about. Yet, we still love her so much. That will never change! I always love her when she's asking me for new books to read (we have a deep fondness for books). One thing that amuses me now is she's waking up early to cook for Kuya's baon for work, akalain mo yun?. (I said she's different, she's not the mom who'll wake up early to prepare breakfast, she'll prepare it during the night and instructs our maid how to cook it so she won't get up early. She also sleeps late because she watches her telenovelas!) Mama is very protective and strict to me but I always see how she defends us to everyone whenever we do something wrong. She defends us but she'll also point out that what we did is wrong. I'm happy that she knows all my friends and also became close to them. She may not be the best mother in the whole world but She is the best for me (kahit na inaaway ko siya). Because of her "masasarap na luto" I have not eaten Pork and Beans for so long. :)

Pork and Beans is Kuya's favorite but now he's all grown up and usually eats hamburger, pizza etc etc. He is now a man who is working for an IT Company. He usually asks me for advice and makes me his style bible. I love it how I can share to him my big dreams without being shy even if its a stupid dream. He wants me to achieve it and I know one day he'll be a proud Kuya. We are close but like any other siblings, we fight. Petty fights, asarans, pikunans blah blah blah. I'm the stone-hearted one and he is the one who would tease me but when I feel pikon na he'll say sorry but I stay mad. He'll throw a punch line then I'll try not to laugh but I can't because he's so corny! Sobra! eew! He's stubborn, me too. He is moody, me too. He loves party music, rock and everything maingay, I appreciate it but I'm more of R&B and Pop. He wants a Blackberry, I want an Iphone and I hope he'll buy me one someday.

I've discovered many things about my brother as we were growing up. We just became close when he is already in high school. Less fights, less wrestlings etc etc. Yes you've read it right! WRESTLING! Kuya is the villain of my life before, I end up with many "pasa" after we fight for no reason. I thought of him as a warlord, bad boy, monster, evil and everything bad. He always punch me with his "grabeng bigat na hands".

When I remember those times, I end up smiling. We are just little monsters who fight about everything but now we're all grown as better individuals. We are not perfect but at least we haven't done things that would make our parents bail us out in jail. haha! We may not have the finances to buy the things that we want. At least God gave us parents and (a bonus) Tita, who would provide the things we dream to have and support our decisions in life. We may not have everything but the love and support from our family is too much.

Someday, I also hope to know Papa more. When everyone's stable and settled down, I would like my father to stay in the Philippines na and enjoy life with Mama. For now, I have to finish my studies to be able to make that dream come true.

Years ago, I never imagined that I would make a blog post like this. All I know is deep inside me I just want to write and be an eic of a newspaper. Then it changed to eic of a magazine. Then it evolved into many dreams and ambitions.

Well, it all started on Pork and Beans then I started to reflect about my life now. To sum it all up, I thank God for everything. You are the one who makes me believe that everything will be okay not in my own time but in yours. In God's time you'll find happiness that you forgot to wish for. He doesn't give me things that I need. He gives me what I deserve. I love you God.

Thank You Pork and Beans for this reflection. :)

Day 21 - Your favourite Gossip Girl song

here's the video: PLASTISCINES: bitch

Day 20 - Your favourite OMFG moment

Chuck sleeps with Jenny.

WHAT THE WELL AS THAT JENNY HUMPHREY? Stupid. :)

Day 19 - Something you wish had never happened

I just felt that the storyline of Chuck's Mom is pointless. I don't know why did it even happened. Its "too" fictional. Hello? You're already in front of your son after those years of lies then you'll deny again that he's your son? Come on. GG writers you can do better than that. and screw JACK. I hate him!

Day 18 - A pairing you can’t stand

Don't ask me why.

Day 17 - Your favourite Kiss

Forever

Day 16 - Your favourite Gossip Girl friendship

It's a tie. Jenny/Eric and Serena and Blair

Serena/Blair

Blair: Whenever something is bothering you I can always find you here.
Serena: Here for another cat fight? What's that?
Blair: A letter. I wrote it to you when you were away at boarding school. I never sent it.

Serena: Stay. Don't let some stupid scandal make you run away like it did me. Like it does everyone in this world.
Blair: Everything's horrible. My whole life is falling apart.
Serena: So? Rebuild it. You're a Waldorf remember? People don't tell you who you are, you tell them. Stay and Fight. I'll fight with you.
Blair: I'm so embarrassed, I'm so...
Serena: So what? Start over. It can be done. I should know. We'll get through this together.
Blair: Promise?
Serena: Promise.

Blair Waldorf: What are you doing here? Making sure the Dean knows it's all my fault?
Serena van der Woodsen: No - I came to tell him that Yale is your dream and you deserve to go here more than I do. What are you doing here?
Blair Waldorf: Doing the same thing for you.

Jenny: Look, I know I acted like a complete and total raging bitch last year, but what you don't know is how bad I felt about it all summer. You were the only person who was friends with me for me and I hurt you the worst.
Eric: Well, you did get yours in the end. And since I don't have many friends myself, I guess I could use every lying, manipulating, backstabbing one I can get. What did you have in mind?

Goodbye Summer 2010

I had a good one, til we meet again. :)

Thank you Like the Flowing River of Coelho for the lessons I learn ever
For being my company whenever I travel alone.

Thank you tumblr. THANK YOU! You know why! haha.

And this summer thank you for new lessons learned but most of all thank you for them.

I learned a lot and gained new friends :)


Hello School, im ready for you! I hope so :))

Day 15 - Favourite female character

Blair Waldorf. Blair. Blair. Blair.
I'm the crazy bitch around here.

Day 14 - Favourite male character

Chuck Bass.
I love the guys because they're the most mature people in the series but we have to admit that over the three seasons, Chuck Bass has been a better Chuck Bass. I hate him on Season 1 but I adore his value of friendship. Even if he's a coward he can still be a good bestfriend (sometimes!) haha. And the sweetest boyfriend Blair can have. :))
Come on! who's not touched when he said he was in Paris to get your favorite macaroons and creme brole, in Germany to get your fall stockings (or something like that).

"I was a coward running away again. But everywhere I went, you caught up with me. So I had to come back."

Day 13 - A scene that makes you angry

Jenny’s not-so-hidden plan to steal Nate

I like Jenny’s selfishness. She said “she’s a bitch but not a little bitch”

But, honey?! don’t mess up with Serena and Blair! :))

Day 12 - A scene that makes you sad/cry

The Wrath of Con

Blair tells Chuck that she can’t answer Nate about moving in together until he answers her. She thinks he wants to make her miserable, but he insists he wants her to be happy.

Blair tells Chuck to look down deep and tell her if what he feels for her is real, or if it’s just a game. He says … it was all a game, and cuts her loose.

Love gives people hope

I've been reading posts in LGMH for months now.
I really don't know if all of these are true but some stories are believable.


When I was in 8th grade, there was a spelling bee.
One of the girls passed out on stage because she was nervous.
A boy she barely knew caught her, and stayed with her until she woke up. He didn’t leave her side, until he knew she was alright.
Now, we have been married for 3 years. David, your LGMH.


On the bus today, i saw a couple. The girl fell asleep on the guy’s shoulder.
When the bus turned, he held her head gently to prevent her head from moving so that she would not be disturbed from her sleep. When the sunshine was in her face, he blocked it with his hand so that she could sleep peacefully.


My grandfather recently died, and as we were going through his stuff he had THOUSANDS of pictures of my grandmother.
Pictures of her sitting there, eating, smiling, laughing. She said he would follow her around with a camera so he wouldn’t miss a single time she smiled.

Today when I was shopping I heard a father and his 7 year old daughter talking.
She was talking about how she wanting something so she could be beautiful.
He said to her ‘You’re already beautiful.’
Good Fathers GMH.

Today, while at a store, I saw a toddler hugging all the mannequins.
I walked away from my mom and asked him why, and he said “They need love too. I mean, wouldn’t you want a hug if you sat around HERE all day?”

One day some kid pushed a girl down the last 3 steps of her school’s stairwell.
Luckily, a boy passing by dropped everything, ran over, and fell under her so she landed on him. She was upset until he started laughing.
They laughed together that day, and they got married 10 years after. They still laugh together.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad.

Tomorrow might be different

Forty days ago, I lost someone so dear to me. As I always say when unexpected things happen, in a sudden snap my Ninang Dorie was gone.
It was 1 am when my mom cried that woke me up. I thought she's just having a bad dream but when I look at her she's sitting on our bed holding her cellphone. I was nervous 'cause *hello? its 1 am and everyone's dreaming while my mom is on the phone crying.

I asked her why? She said "Si Ninang mo nasa ICU, coma... (she said something like that in between her sobs)" Because my mind is still sleeping I asked her "Sinong ninang?" then she said "Ninang Dorie mo." Then I didn't speak cause I don't know what to say. I tried to sleep but I can't.

My mom had a very bad day that morning but she already knew what to do. She already planned that on Saturday we'll visit Ninang in the hospital together with Kuya. She'll go to the hospital that day with Tita Jo.
A day after Mama's visit, Ninang died. The doctor said that she's not responding to treatments anymore.

Thursday evening, Kuya called me while I was on the bus on my way home. He asked me if I can take a day off on our office. I asked why? Then he said those dreadful words "Patay na si Ninang."

I don't want to recall the scene in the house that evening, I just got the whole story when I arrived home. Mama had a chance to speak with Ninang thru the phone. Kuya Carlo (ninang's son) put the phone in ninang's ears while mama is saying goodbye to her.

Ninang is one of my second moms (oo madami sila. laking saudi kami kaya maraming nag aalaga samin dun everytime na may duty si mama at papa). She's one of the best Ninang I could ever have. I can talk to her about everything, share stories etc. She is one of the people who have guided me while I was growing up. We both love Divisoria! Everytime I talk to her I feel energized because she's very positive. She laughs at my flaws actually, she knows almost everything about me because mama tells her EVERYTHING.

They are bestfriends. Even if they don't see each other often they were still updated in each others life through hours of talking on the phone. And that's one of the things I'll miss...

I'll miss Ninang's greeting everytime I celebrate my birthday. She'll always be one of the first people who'll greet me on my birthday. hindi pa yan makukuntento, tatawag pa yan.
Then she'll say, basta alam mo naman, wala akong ibang maireregalo sayo kundi Pagmamahal. I will miss that :(
it sounds cheesy but I know that Ninang says it from the bottom of her heart.

I'm happy that she's now in heaven but everytime i remember my dreams, i usually end up being sad. Ninang is included in my dreams. I dream that one day, i would be able to treat mama and her friends in a fine dining restaurant, they'll go shopping, etc etc. *Nasasabi ko na lang, ay kulang na :(. Well, maybe Ninang is just up there waiting for me to make my dreams come true.

I know you're in heaven now, Ninang. Please be our Guardian Angel. I will always be your little Kit. I love you so much. :)


In a sudden snap everything will change. Say i love you, hug and kiss the people you love now because tomorrow might be different.

Day 11 - Your favourite funny scene

My favorite scenes will always be from the lovely Blair Waldorf :))
click for the vid

Day 10 - Your OTP (one true pairing)

Derena :) ♥

We all know that Chair is the most popular pair on Gossip Girl. I also have that "kilig" feeling everytime they throw sweet lines to each other. But, I have a confession, I'm also a fan of nate/blair tandem. I got teary-eyed on the episode when the two were talking about their messed up life and Blair suddenly blurted "What happened to us?!" (something like that).
Until, senior prom and they decided that the love wasn't there, anymore. Aww. Some good things never last.

Well for me, my one true pair will always be Dan Humphrey and Serena Van der Woodsen. Some call them a boring couple but I don't. If only the writers could write a better storyline for the couple. :)
A lonely boy from Brooklyn dating an it girl of Upper east side. Its hard to be with someone who is living a different life from yours, but they took a chance.
They never fail to bring out the best in each other. I will always smile those sweet lines.
Their heartbreaking elevator scene. They are both fighters when it comes to love.

Here's a link of my fave scenes of Derena.

Serena: I need to know why you love me.

Dan: Because I do.

Serena: I really want to trust you when you say those words, Dan. So maybe if I knew why, I’d stop being so scared of hearing them and afraid to say them.

Dan: Okay. Well, if you want to talk about why…

Serena: It has to do with my mom and her many marriages.

Dan: There. That’s why. Because I actually like it when you interrupt me, which is often, by the way. I love you because you make no apologies about being exactly who you are… Beautiful, smart, sexy as hell.

Serena: Now you’re embarrassing me.

Dan: That’s another reason. You’re completely unaware of your affect on me. You’re also completely unaware that you laugh like a 4-year-old.

Dan: Just like that. And I love you because you can be with someone like me and still be best friends with someone like Blair.

Serena: Yeah, well, I tried to be.

Dan: I know you do. And that’s not easy, but you never give up on her. That is how amazing you are.

*AMAZING*

Day 09 - Your favourite Gossip Girl quote

I have many on my list and most of them are from, Gossip Girl.


Gossip Girl: Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas. Mine are labels, and labels stick. Nate Archibald: Class whore. Dan Humphrey: The ultimate insider. Chuck Bass: Coward. Blair Waldorf: Weakling. And as for Serena van der Woodsen, after today, you are officially irrelevant. Congratulations, everyone. You deserve it. (Season 2 Finale)

Gossip Girl: You wanted to meet Gossip Girl? Well, look around. I'm nothing without you. And while most high school friendships fade, it's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever. Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate. Until college. Congratulations, I'm coming with you. (Season 2 Finale)

Gossip Girl: They say in fashion that you can become a success overnight. But one minute you're in, and the next, you're out. (Season 2's The Serena Also Rises)


Gossip Girl: One Good Scandal Deserves Another.
(Season 1's A thin Line between Chuck and Nate)


Gossip Girl: Spotted - Chuck Bass losing something nobody even knew he had. His heart. (Season 1's Hi, Society)

Gossip Girl: If Blair has got to watch her back, Serena needs to keep an eye on her heart. We hear it may have been stolen by Lonely Boy. (Season 1's Dare Devil)

FROM MY FAVORITE GIRLS:

Blair: You did the right thing. Serena: Then why do I feel so bad? Blair: Doing the right thing takes courage and strength. At least that's what I've heard. And everything that's hard is only made harder by not having your best friend by your side. I'm sorry you had to go through it alone.

Blair: I have an army to build, a school to take over, and girls to blackmail.

Blair: I used to have a friend like Jenny. I made all these sacrifices and you know what I got back on that investment? Zero. Because girls like her run emotional Ponzi schemes. Serena will never like you the way you like her.
Keira: You mean Jenny.
Blair: Details. Now are you ready to be queen or do I need to find a new frog?

Blair: Throughout all my years with Nate, my whole life really, you've always been #1. Now, things are different. I have college. A real relationship. I'm starting to build a life for myself.
Serena: I'm building a life for myself too.
Blair: With Carter? With your job working for a publicist who pays you to date a wacked-out movie star? You're drifting away from Dan and your family and you've lost Nate, one of your oldest friends. This night is finally over. And as far as I'm concerned, so are we.

GG: Day 08 - An episode you’ve seen more than once (or twice…)

Season 2's The Serena Also Rises! Glam and fashion with a little bit of cat fights!

Gossip Girl: Day 07 - Your favourite scene

Gossip Girl: Day 05 - Your favourite guest-Star

Gossip girl: Day 05 - Your favourite guest-Star

Georgina Sparks

The girl that I love to hate. :) and I love to love for being Georgina the destroyer of everything. :P

Day 04 - Your least favourite episode

Season 2, Episode 24 "Valley Girls"

I can remember this episode vaguely.

I find it irrelevant from the storyline.

Gossip Girl: Day 03 - Your favourite episode

Click the episode for the video
Season 1 Episode 3 "Poison Ivy"

This episode never fails to touch my heart! The bestfriends thing (haha!)
I had mixed emotions on this episode. Confidential issues, exposed secrets from family to friends and . The eagerness to have a brighter future so you would end up ruining someone's reputation, your friend's reputation. And at the end of the day you'll regret it.

Blair's unsent letter always make me cry. They are both hurt and (yeah!) Serena's a bitch.

I love their catfights (so much!) but I also love it when they would swallow their prides and they would make up. Its better to have two queens. More fun, more shopping, more scandals! :))


Blair's letter:
Dear Serena,
My world is falling apart and you're the only on who would understand. My father left my mother for a 31 year old model. A male model. Feel like screaming because I don't have anyone to talk too. You're gone, My dad's gone. Nate's acting weird. Where are you? Why don't you call? Why did you leave w/o saying goodbye? You're supposed to be my bestfriend. I miss you so much.

Love, Blair.

aww.

Gossip Girl: Day 02 - Your least favourite character

I find her annoying, really! Except for her fashion style.

Still, there are times that I'm wondering where does she get money to have those beautiful clothes? haha!

Gossip Girl 30 day Challenge: Day 01 - Your favourite character

She's my favorite character since Season 1 but as time goes by I started to love her then hate her then love her again. I love her more when she's with Dan.
She's independent, high class, smart and pretty but I hate it when she trusts people right away.
While watching I would suddenly shout "stupid" everytime Serena goes out of her way believing Carter or whoever then ends up breaking her own heart.
She fights for her family, for her bestfriend and for people she cares about.
She's selfish and mean but she uses her heart too. That's why I love her! and I also love Blair, who doesn't?!

Anyway, I just hope they would give Serena a better stotyline this coming Season 4!

Day 30 — Whatever tickles your fancy

I miss gossip girl so I need to do this post this! haha

Meet more great people!

ENJOY LIFE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE :))

* Day 26 & Day 27 — Your week/month, in great detail

This week.I had a little bit of ice cream that lifts up my mood. (though not a strabucks ice cream, i think its not available here in the philippines)

This month, or let's say for two months that I had my internship on CMFR
I've met great people. At first they are strangers but now I call them new found friends.
Deadlines, fun, food trip, laptops, tumblr, news, elections, politicians, gossips, music, movies.
Those were the words/topics that we usually discuss while we're working on our different tasks.
I really had fun working them, though its really hard beating our deadlines, i'm going to miss them, the office and the staff!

So yeah! my month and week, had a rollercoaster ride.
Something between mixed emotions and headaches! and something that will forever be treasured. Thank you guys!
