| NEW YEAR BLOG..- What?? | 11:57 PM |
|
Hi, it's been quite awhile. I know.
I have neglected this poor blog. Honestly, I've been frequently visiting this site, editing my drafts, posting entries and then deleting it right after clicking the publish hit button. But most of the time, I just lurk.
I sometimes read some of my past entries. I read all your messages left in my pm and query box.
But most of the time,yun nga, I just lurk.
And you know what I've realized?
I've realized that I'm not ready to quit this thing..not just yet. And if truth must be told, I think I consciously avoided to blog because all I did was whine. The past few years have been a bit crazy in a bittersweet way. I couldn't go forward because I kept going back and forth.
I'm so lucky that I have a wonderful set of friendly friends and a fab family that acts as my support system in times of overwhelming sadness. Sadness because I want more. Sadness because I am lonely. Sadness because I couldn't get my priorities straight. Add a dash of self doubt and all of a sudden you think everyone's against you, raking their claws on your personal life and you wince like a stabbed babboon everytime your parents, titos or titas makes a small convo about your ex or worst--about your single-ness.
In all honesty, i think I have this knack to complicate things. I mean, my issues are NOT that serious as compared to others who are going thru REAL critical matters right? I guess for the most part of it, I think I'm scared and worried.
Scared because I don't know where my life's heading and the bitterness and self loathing hang on to me like a leech.
I hate challenges but I don't back down when faced with one. I devote serious effort to be a better version of my sulky everyday self.
Anyway, I'm so glad the stupidest year is over, the year two-thousand-and-HATE.
And helloooo, 2009!!
I kinda have a good feeling about 2009. There's something so exciting and err..new.. about this year. Feeling ko it's like having, say, a brand new book. You can smell fresh ink from the pages, yung feel nung cover, the book's spine...oh crap. *i always feel like this every new year.*
I don't have any serious resolutions though. I think resolutions on a new year has become a bit meaningless, more like a cliche na. Hello, you can do something different any day of the year diba.
And besides, I usually forget them as soon as february or march steps in.
But then again, there are certainly a few things I would like to *remind* myself and i think that would be another blog post altogether.
So there.
And for the record at malamang hindi ko na uultitin ito:
I stopped blogging dahil i felt i made this an outlet to allow myself to drown in self pity. I whine here like a bitch who's suffering from a serious case of back sliding.
I kinda stopped dahil sa totoo lang, paulit ulit na lang. Nakakasawa ka na at panahon pa ni Bentong yang issue na yan.
At sa dahil ayokong gumawa ng new year's resolution, hindi ko mapangako na eto na ang huling emotional blog diarrhea ko.
Pero sa ngayon, pang back-read ka na lang.
P/S: I might post a blog intermittently, wala naman pressure please.:)
P/P/S: Tsk. Its not about Plurk. (annoyed) I don't Plurk that much na nga eh.. (headspin)

| friendly friends gg xmas project:) | 4:24 PM |
|
Yet again, the friendly friends were given the opportunity to visit and give help to the Missionaries of Charity.
We scheduled our packing day last November 30 at Icar's place. Packing Day, meaning pack goodies for 700 kids, collect 150 toys from Icar's brother and account donations from our generous parents, siblings and workmates. (God Bless you all!)
December 7, Sunday
First stop was at Missionaries of Charity- Formation House located at Tondo, Manila.
Second Stop was just across the Formation House: The Missionaries of Charity- Home of Joy for the Sick Children.
Third Stop was at the Missionaries of Charity- Home for Abandoned/ Neglected Elderly. Wasn't able to spend much time in here because we were instructed by the Sisters to just leave our donations as it was the elders schedule for lunch and medicine intake that time.
Lastly, we went to another MOC in Baseco near Port Area. The kids here are livelier and happier. Parang nasa Day Care lang sila:) Got to hang out and chika with the rest of the kids who seems to have a silent group gang.:)
More on The Missionaries of Charity- Home of Joy for the Sick Children:
The first time I stepped in to this place (December of last year) I was strucked by the health conditions of the kids residing here. It was so heartbreaking I remembered not being able to control my tears then. for weeks after that, I can't get it out of my mind. I don't know what to do with it and we all felt helpless. My sister and I would talk about it, minsan kahit in passing.
Last December 7, visiting it again for the second time, I still don't have the words to cope with it. All of them are suffering from different kinds of health illnesses like cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, Down Syndrome etc.
Imagine walking with beds(papag?) placed along the hallway with sick children slightly cramped together. There were like 3 big rooms with cribs and some of the children were tied to it kasi most of the time they hurt themselves by smashing their head/mouth/hands from too much (in)voluntary movements. I was told that these kids have very limited food and medical supply din and the sisters of MOC relies on donations and sponsorships.
All of us now live in an era where we are being pushed to a world full shallow and mundane things. Sometimes it makes you feel guilty. Like you know more about the latest buzz in show business, the latest trend in fashion, the New York Time's Best Seller Book List instead of what is truly happening around us. There's this tiny voice inside that kept on reminding me how I ridiculously keep buying stuff I really don't need than give to poor kids.
The situation of those children gets me to the bottom of the argument in an instant. If truth must be told, I think I am ready to resist suffering and pain .. not unlike them. They were born with it. There is a reason why Heidie kept reminding us for this activity for the past 2 years. There is a bigger reason why we met these kids. I am not saying that we will be able to save our souls from abstaining from self indulgence. What I'm trying to say is that I want to keep a promise-- and that is to spend my time in helping and taking care of them.
I'm still trying to figure how to live this out though....
P/S: Thank you Heidie, until now bitbit mo pa din ang pagiging Paulinian mo (Pulo days and all)..=)
Salamat sa lahat ng tumulong outside ff's: kuya jeric,chyng,ikis,marlon,jojo,santa clause,nana's offcemates,my officemates,janine,tita yam of laiya,,, lahat lahat na...:) thank you thank you. | |

Hi I'm Aina.
And I'm a Plurk a.d.d.i.c.t.
*******
so i've been a bit busy and the entries I want to post keep piling up. I know I am completely ignoring this blog. I have neglected my other social networking duties as well. I am now suffering from an online erratic behavior.
And that's all because of Plurk.
For those of you who still use abacus to compute, Plurk is a micro-blogging tool. Yes, it's like Twitter, Jaiku et al. To be completely honest, I joined Plurk because of the dancing banana (w/c by the way gets irritating pala sometimes). Second reason is that two of my friends are Plurkers already. I wasn't really impressed that much the first time I tried using it. It was more like a chatroom or to some, a forum. The addiction actually kicked in when most of the friendly friends started joining in. I tried convincing my Twitter friends to join and all I got were blank stares(i am imagining here). I guess you cannot convince others that easily with just 140 characters.
Anyway, I plurk while eating, plurk while watching, plurk while pee-ing, plurk while smoking, plurk while coffee-ing and the bestest-- i plurk while working.
I plurk for hours. Once a plurk is posted it will stretch into a multiple threaded replies, faster than you can say PLURK. I believe in good karma so I reply to my friend's plurks when they post something that really arouse my interest/curiosity or sometimes just to say hi. I cannot totally blame my sleep deprivation on plurk because I have been an insomniac for like forever but instead of getting my usual 5 hours or so, I only sleep for 2-3 hours or minsan..i barely sleep. Aside from using my laptop while plurking, my phone and Ipod touch are set to plurk homepge. seriously, I am that addicted.
When friends started pointing out my erratic behavior,that was the only time I realized that maybe i have a persistent compulsive urge to plurk. Like when we were out one time and they noticed I was busy typing on my fone.I heard Nana commenting "she's Plurking again! Naku, Aina, nobody will reply to your post because half of your plurk friends are here". Of course, I vehemently denied this and pretended that I was "just texting" but my face screams "guilty guilty guilty!".
I'm not saying Plurk is bad for my health (although I am actually nursing a fever right now-totally Plurk unrelated!) nor am I expressing my unhappiness or protesting against it. I LOVE it despite being a complete nerd. I love it despite me going gaga as soon as I hear the plurk alert sound. I still love it kahit nobody replies to my :
ainavdl is brushing her hair. (rock)
or to my:
ainavdl says oh look. the sun. its yellow. nice. (dance)
Just to make things clear, i am not complaining. I gained from it pa nga eh. I discovered sucky/good films, GOOD books, music and the best part is I get to sagap solid and entertaining chismis!:)
I know it's bad. BELIEVE ME I DO know it's bad. Friends tell me that no one would plurk or stay online on plurk like I do.
But I can't help myself. It's so.... addicting.
Just so you know, I made this entry last November 30 and it took me 3 days to complete it because I easily get distracted as soon as I hear the *ping* *ping* plurk alarm. It's just now that I have this self imposed "Non Active Plurk Day" and quite honestly, it wasn't very easy. I WAS ITCHING TO REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodness!!!!
I may not figure out the cause of this addcition but Plurk is fun fun fun. And it makes me happy. It will die down soon. I know.;)
And did I mention that I can't stop??
Oh, right.
TO my plurkmates : HUMANDA KAYO SA AKIN. SPAMMER MODE AKO NITO NGAYON!!!! 
P/S: If you want to join me on my craziness, please CLICK HERE and ADD ME. Not because I want to have these babies:
   
OF COURSE NOT.

i'm a slacker, oui?
and you all think that i should update, oui?
and you're asking what's new with me, oui?
Well, PLENTY!!!!!!
I'm gonna keep this short muna, I have the whole of November to pester you with my random rAmblings, but I just have to say this...
I CAN't WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE:
TWILIGHT!!! I hope the movie will be faithful with the book, goodness it's like the Harry Potter feeling again,it's so disappointing when they completely change the whole storyline or plot of movies based on books . I hope they don't do this with Twilight, na sobrang big na ng fanbase.
I can't wait for the soundtrack too. I've heard some of it and I think the soundtrack was made for me, wahahahah, jokey. It includes my fave Muse (Supermassive Black Hole), MuteMath, and Paramore. (I've heard Haylie is a Twilight fan as well). Demi told me that the original soundtrack will be released on November 7 and that warber Bros. Philippines will carry the album.
I am totally having an obssessive edward cullen disorder. And because patience is not my favorite virtue, I completely gave in to temptations. I swore I would never watch fan made trailers or spoilers except for the official trailer which is just a snippet. Pero kanina, I have to confess(Ella Bella, I'm sorry), i watched this 7 or 8-minute clip of the movie na pinalabas sa Rome Film Fest something-something. AND SOBRANG NA-EXCITE AKO!!! Shucks, the girl who played Alice is so cute. i mean the way she was portrayed in the book, it was evident in the movie. i hope the rest of the movie don't disappoint.
And lookie what i found with one of those video clippings:
Told you, Count Charming ko talaga sya. Wahahhahaha;)
'Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.' Edward Cullen to Bella, Twilight
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS CONCERT:
Yey.. after all those bullshit circulating the world wide web the previous months, yey, Chris Brown is finally coming to Manila. Oh, and he's with rihanna din pala, pero i really don't care about her. I'm watching because of Chris B.
Apprehensions,mmm.. I don't like watching in an open field. Arte aside, hindi ko lang feel. I'm all for Araneta Coliseum, sana dun na lang:( Pero I can't let this concert pass so martyrdom na lang ang drama. Deadma na lang kung putik putik ang feet pero i swear I'm gonna freak out kapag may mala- Yao Ming na pupwesto sa harapon ko. Standing only kasi yung venue, no seating arrangements, first come first serve.. at kung anu ano pang ka bee ess-an!!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR the relase of Fall Out Boy's New Album:
Un.
Deux.
Trois.
Ooops.
FOB's "Folie a Deux" (which literally means 'madness shared by two') is slated to be out this November coinciding with the US elections.
But Pete Wentz later announced that the album's release will be out on December 16 instead.
Hello. Their reason? They don't want to mock the Elections.. they thought it was funny 6 months ago but later realized they have this patriotism inside of them.
LAME.
ayway that's it for now. MY WHOLE November is racking up wuth lots of activities.. I am so excited;)

Hi there! I'm sorry for the series of short posts slash teasers I've been posting lately. My supah busy life has been exhilarating and tiring at the same time, I have lots to blog about but I just need the time to write/publish them;)
And to answer your queries for the nth time, NO, I'm not abandoning this blog. In fact, I renewed my premium account here in UpSaid for another one whole year.
Naisip ko kasi na I still want to continue my relationship with this blog. Sana ganun din kadali sa ibang relationship noh.
Channeling Jesa's emo phase? Hope not.;)
P/S: We had an event last night for bloggers here in the Philippines. I'm just lucky PAGCOR sponsored their event and I get to see all the bloggers na talagang binibista ko. There was this blogger na akala ko talaga all the while babae, lalake pala. hihihihi;) I hope they enjoyed the event we sponsored for them kahit medyo may palpak-asyons sa umpisa...;)

Scary thing happened at work yesterday.
When I got into the office last night to retrieve my things, I saw that somebody left a "gift" on my desk.
Apparently, there's this guy from another department who gave me a Cadbury chocolate.
I have no idea WHY someone would do that!
Mr. Sustagen suggested, " Baka may admirer ka."
Unang una hindi ko concern kung SINO ang nagbigay. My ultimate question was WHYwould someone give me a CADBURY chocolate??!!
May galit sa akin;( May gustong magka- something something yung kidney ko. Or liver ba yun? Pancreas yata.
Anyway, nobody else in the offce knows and wala naman may gustong umamin. Feeling ko si abuso jubabis;9
Pero kapag nalaman ko kung sino gumawa sa akin nun, ipapakulong ko. Pwede yun diba?
Attempted murder siguro?
Or better yet, and feeling ko mas effective and mas makakaganti ako kung papakainin ko sya ng kwarentang goldilocks polvoron na binabad sa tinunaw na cadbury chocolate.
At habang inuubos nya yun, kailangan nyang kumanta ng:
"xta si xta no, chikitamchikititam tambambe dum bambam be dum bam bedebe debe bam bam bam bedum bam bede,chikitamchikititam tambambe dum bambam be dum bam bedebe debe bam bam bam bedum bam bede, xta si, xta no......"
.. hanggang sa maubos nya yung cadbury soaked polvoron.
Tapos ivi- video ko sya.
Tsk. I have a very stressful week ahead and usually this kind of gesture gives me positive/good vibes..
pero naman...
diba???
Cadbury???
