THE NICE THINGS about HER

MAEVE is a polyglot (one who speaks several languages, in her case, FILIPINO, SPANISH, JAPANESE, ENGLISH, FOOKIEN and (basic dammit!) MANDARIN) * certified bookworm (click here) * tarot reader * voracious seeker of knowledge (as long as she's not stuck in school); in short trivia geek * writer with tunnel vision * blogger who doesn't know when it's the right time to stop writing * travel enthusiast (funding needed!) * frustrated artist * friend to a select few (think less than 10 from high school & TWO from college) * die hard ginebra fan * (4 years and counting) girlfriend to a wonderful guy * faithful yet stubborn and flawed daughter of God.

THE BAD THINGS about HER

MAEVE * is a bonsai chick * seriously abhors ugly immoral sluts! * tactless * a chronic crammer(it's an ican thing, right maybes?) * cheapskate * lazy with capital L * a perfectionist (it's the virgo in us, right danny?) *  unsophisticated * too self-conscious * impulsive *  bossy * has a polychromatic taste in fashion that never fails to make her bf wince * proud * acne troubled * has failing eyesight

what she LOVES about her FAMILY

late night counterstrike sessions * eating 24/7 * bonding time inside the van * going out of town with her uncles and relatives * sleepovers with her cousins * playing cards * watching horror movies * badminton outings * plain chillin * checking out toy stores * picture-taking

labor day and just for the sake of recounting

today, our plans to go out of town didn't push through since my shoti developed a fever overnight...which miraculously disappeared when he learned that we were playing counterstrike again. we just got home in fact. now there were 11 of us as another cousin, r, came to join us. but before that, we played badminton...it feels good to be phys active...and it feels doubly good when you're winning as well. haha

===

okay lemme see...last tuesday maybes arrived and we - allen, her and me - went to eat @ promenade's cibo that night. thurs we met again and went to glorietta this time because i wanted to watch pamahiin (and i wasn't sure if they were showing it in gbelt). but when we got there i realized that silent hill was actually showing already so i INSISTED that we watch it instead. they were nice enough to give in. haha. but before watching, we ate at the food court downstairs and that's when i saw joanna w/her howe. awwwwww... i'm sooo happy na you finally met your mr. right. you two look good together. yuppies in love. haha.

silent hill was super cool! better than the movie adaptation of r. evil. i'll post my review in another blog.

===

i'm so excited to work for the newest company i tried out for. and yeah i got hired. and that's all i'm gonna say. haha. if i say more, i'll never stop.

kyou wa watashi no ojisan no 100th tanjoubi. happy bday angkong!

hoy es cumpleaños de mi primo tambien. happy bday ahia ton!

the party was fun. thankfully nobody commented about how fleshy my arms were. in fact, i've actually received compliments left and right...mmm...that's what relatives are for, i guess. or maybe it's just my curly hair. haha. too bad my curls reached its expiration date this month and i've simply been trying to breathe life into it with curlers.

maybe next month...i'll have my hair curled once more...maybe...

back from heaven
verbally painted 01:50 AM

anyway, just got back home from the cyber cafe - unlike before, there were only 4 of us playing CS - me, my mom, shobe and shoti. but it was super fun! hehe

holy week was a blast. actually twas more fun than usual coz my cousins were all acting like crazy. saturday we went to subic from clark so that my mom and cousins would get to experience zoobic safari. they've got new features like the forbidden room - it's about as big as a regular size comfort room and inside, there's a real honest to goodness python just entwined around a branch and anytime it can bite you or something. so enter at your own risk. but i talked to the guy in charge and he says it's pretty harmless so we all entered the room.

thanks to my cousins, holy week sans allen wasn't as painful as i expected it to be. anyway, last sunday, we attended my aunt's poolside party. her step grandsons were soooooo cute! literally and figuratively!

what else...

well, tuesday, allen and i along w/my cuz eilleen went to st. francis square. it was my first time to shop there.

wednesday...i had a job interview in makati shang (not to work for the hotel, ok) but it didn't work out because they needed a computer programmer and not just someone who can speak and write japanese.

on my way down from the 24th floor (horizon club), someone got inside the elevator w/me. she was obviously a hotel employee but she looked sooo UN-filipino that i couldn't hesitate asking "are you filipino?".

girl: no. are you?

me: yes.

girl: (surprised) oh.

me: what country are you from?

girl: japan

me: (surprised) sou desu ka?

girl: (surprised again) nihongo o wakarimasu ka?

me: sukoshi...

and so on and so forth. it was super fun talking to a native japanese speaker. haha. i'm gettin really confident when it comes to talking to female foreigners. ordinarily, i'm very diffident and aloof but i dunno... foreigners bring out the worst in me i guess. haha.  

 

 


estoy: overtaxed...

never late, never early

it seems to me that i have a deeply pathological problem with punctuality. shall i consult a doctor?

if i'm not mistaken, habit # 2 of stephen covey deals with time management. or was it #3? at any rate, it's vital that i learn how to manage my time efficiently and effectively if i want to advance in my career.

the only sad thing about work is that all problems are caused by --- ME and me alone. the beautiful thing about that is i'm willing to change and when i do change, it's beyond bliss.

===

i've saved enough money for the holy week. we'll be spending it in holiday inn clark once more. my dad asked if we wanted a change of venue but hey, the mimosa peeps might miss us too much, y'know? haha. it's just that we feel so comfortable there already so why change? anyway, all we're after is for some r&r and holiday inn gives us plenty of that. that and extra quality time with the family.

===

on the other hand, i'm a bit sad that allen and i won't be together this holy week and on our monthsary (14th, good friday). he'll be in dakak. oooooweeeelll. absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? at least i hope so. haha.

===

i finally got to watch the episode feat. the little ponies' battle for/in midnight castle. it was amazing! haha. no joke. i miss those cute lil 4-leggers! 

okaaaay. that's it for now. back to work.
