influx

the past few days have actually been quite eventful.
gone are the days na i have nothing left to do na.

+ now im busier with work because im doing UK Compensation work also, aside from US analyses and being in charge of Research Management...
+ i've gotten more involved with Panaginip Foundation, semi-officially being its marketing head (i now have a new email --> anna@panaginip.org <-- coolness!). we've set December 9 as our launch at Temple Bar. really hope that pushes through, but the bigger problem i guess is the Alcala Legacy... we've got to plan everything na and there's just so much stuff to cover pa! hope we make it! Robert's pretty optimistic that we'll have it easy because of the tons of connections they have and the tons of support from the really important people. Sana we can do everything accdg to schedule. If we pull this off, as Lily put it, we can say we've been a success even before we reach 25!
+ met up with Panaginip's core group last Wednesday, and i saw one of my favorite friends again! Cha i missed you!!! :D Cha is the ever so sarap and saya-dahil-tatawa-lang-kayo-lagi friend. and I'm so happy that she seems so happy right now, married with two kids and a success in business to boot! we'll certainly be seeing more of each other na... nga pala she's got this bazaar to sell her earrings and accessories (which are really nice! and just one of her businesses...) on November 6 at the Intercon.
+ I've also found the smoothest vodka ever! sobrang swabe with no hint of any sabit tlga! :) it costs P250 per bottle but i dont care. i told Lily to go buy me 4 na. hehe. but that's until next year naman na, when their next shipment comes in May. if you guys want, order na lang from me... i'll charge you P280 lang... :D
+ I've slept soooo late the past few days, mga around 3 or 4, either tutoring my mom on how to use the net or finishing up her paper... Im not really complaining naman since this is the time na i can help her out, show her how supportive we are of her during this time. Yun nga lang, Mara is yanking my sleeves also kasi aside from her schoolwork, she needs help studying for her Pisay entrance exams. so yea, even at home im harrassed.
+ Good news! I've won a 1 week subscription to Pinoy Big Brother live streaming! wheee! :D i won it at GirlTalk, thanks to exboyfriend (that's his username, before you get any ideas...) so next week, starting Monday, it'll be my turn transcribing the scenes to my fellow GTalkers. Hehe, taking this particular addiction to the next level! sana lang di ako mumu-in sa office when i stay ng late. This morning, Philip told me minumu daw sha last night! yaiks! freaky tlga...
+ tomorrow is San Mats Day for ACIL but im still not sure if i can go... Sorry Me-an, i'll make it up to you when we go out to lunch this coming week :) Sunday, Nino is inviting me to watch the UAAP game with him and Gerald... again im not sure either... i'm sure you guys will have a wonderful time dating... hehehe. ginagawa nyo lang naman ako palusot e, gusto nyo lang naman tlga quality time together. hehe.
+ i will be enrolling na talaga 1st week of October. taga mo yan sa bato. hehe. i'll finish up my requirements then na tlga. and yes, i wont deny it, tinatamad ako na ayusin sha now. pero i know naman na what ill need to do sooo... ok fine, tamad na nga ako, inamin ko na naman e!
+ i dreamt last night. it was with this guy. and he said to me all those words that i have been so wanting to hear for sooo long na. the problem is, at this particular point in time, if he says those things, it will seriously complicate things... so let's just wish in reality he won't say anything to that effect. hehe. bitin kayo noh?
+ nga pala, i've bought a new monitor kasi the old one conked out na tlga. this one's black, bigger and better. i changed na pati my keyboard and mouse para set sila. hehe. the damage hurt of course. but im praying that Lola Lilia will buy me a digicam and will buy us a laptop.... and maybe i can beg a bit more for an HP iPaQ 6300... or anything similar to it. wish ko laaaannnggg!!!
+ hey sana i can market a lot na lang for the foundation para i can have more money! kareerin ko na to!!!

:D feeling ko tuloy balik college ako- yungharrassed pero masaya. besides, i have an amazing support group naman e. Me-An, thanks for the vote of confidence, and yes, you too, Mr. Maf...

---im praying so hard na lang, na what happened a year ago will not repeat itself... not lang during this time, but EVER. ive got a lot of good going for me and sana nga this is the start of being the ME i've always wanted to be...

i'm lovin' it

im still at the office and yeah, it's really late. but i don't care. i really love working late. haha. not that a night shift is ideal or anything, i just love the ambiance. it's not that noisy, and i think it's cooler, and it feels lighter, and even i've got to do work stuff (yeah, and not just watch pinoy big brother, The OC or One Tree Hill...), i'm happier and... basta mas-sinisipag ako.

I've got it good... that's how i'm describing my life right now.

My mom and I are in uber-good terms, what with her starting out at school (to take up Masters in National Security Administration, hayuuup!), she needs my computer expertise and research intelligence, haha.
My sister's doing really good at school (honor roll again, alryt!) and she's preparing for that pisay exam (every Sunday morning we miss out on sleep just to make it to her 8am-12nn review classes, bummer).
I have a smiley happy disposition, even when i'm up really late, either due to office work, series marathons or chatting/ gimik with friends.
I've started UK compensation work again and that's not something i haven't gotten over with quite pleasantly before... the extra pay won't hurt either.
Next up, it's MBA at Rockwell, maybe with 2 classes na lang so i won't get rattled or anything. woohooo, tuloy na tuloy na finally.
Plus there's the ACIL Centennial. i'm bound to help out there.
Plus plus, i've joined this start-up Art Foundation called Panaginip Foundation. I'm excited for this, because it'll be similar to doing school org work. I'll be busy with marketing and event planning for this Alfredo Alcala exhibit, which is our first event. Alfredo Alcala was this really great comic artist, he's worked for DC Comics, and he's done Conan, constantine/hellblazer, classic Star Wars, etc etc. haha, i'm not really familiar. basta it's a big project and i love doing this stuff. :) The exhibit will run from January to April 2006 so watch out for that :D

On top of all these, Kit and I are going strong :) i watched Oprah last night, the "He's not that into you" episode, and judging from how things are going, Kit is THAT into me :D
Raizel's leaving for the States pala to go to Stanford for her masters, and we all bid her farewell last Friday. will be posting pictures of that soon, plus our pictures way back from high school! haha! as always, it's great to hang out with my girlfriends :D we went home around 2 na ata cos we had a whole lot to talk about, even if we saw each other just 2 weeks before that. i'd like to keep meeting up with them every month now, instead of once or twice a year.

so there. i'm loving my life right now.
ain't life so grand? :D

FRANZEN: Ok lang na maalis ako. Bibigyan naman ako siguro ni Big Brother ng commercial, ng sitcom... di naman sa nagpaparinig ako, pare.... tapos nasa labas pala ang asawa ko no? May dalang itak.

BOB: Paano pag ininterview ka ni Willie?

FRANZEN: Alam no Kuya Willie, ang di ko po makakalimutan sa Big Brother e pag nagising ako, si Tito Dougs (Jayson), yung kama nya, mamasa-masa, di ko lang alam kung bakit...

hahaha!panalo!
i super like franzen's antics of pinoy big brother!

of files, exams and letters

i've been here since 7 am.
yeah, believe it or not, ive broken my record of coming into the office at my usual time range of 1030-12noon.
i had to send some files for kit kasi. sigh. what people do for the people they love... :)
i had to take my mom to the airport den kasi, her flight was 515am, so i woke up around 330am. i'm guessing she's in aklan by now. she'll be there till saturday i think. nga pala, she's passed NDCP, so she'll be studying her masters full time for the next year (she starts september 15). while i'll be busy with my MBA by october. and Mara will be busy with her pisay entrance exams review. Yay, we're all trying to be intellectuals now. haha. all in good time, our brains will pave the way to fame and fortune... hehe...
anyway, i slept pretty late na, so that i could wake up easily... with my monitor at home conking out on me, i had no choice but to tidy up my room to pass the time... but really, when have i ever cleaned my room even if i planned to? :) i ended up reading letters sent to me by friends back in highschool... a lot of the letters came from joyce(my ate), kyla (and her super tiny handwriting), carol (i love the cards that she sends me thru snail mail), abe (love ko fonts nya), jaimee (she often attempts to draw me...ngak!) and denise (probably the person who has written me the most letters- we were almost always on the same boat)... it was pretty heartwarming to be reading all those letters... and funny... i was sooo immature then, and a bit weak and strong all at the same time. the loads of palancas said i was funny, smart and makulit! haha, still am :) but what touched me was how all these people around me loved me even when i was this suicidal and childish freak. and how they treasure me as a friend. makes it hard not to smile so wide... :)
to all my friends back in highschool, i want you all to know that i treasure each one of you, even if we've just been seatmates, cheatmates, recessmates, classmates, letter-writing mates, etc etc. love you all! (flying kiss!!!)
hehe nasenti ako... well the great thing is, i've managed to keep those treasured friends... and those na i dont come into contact with anymore, i know that once we all meet, kahit we all have changed, how we relate to each other won't :)
thanks for all the memories!

p.s. nga pala... i'm loving tyler hilton right now :) but not crushing... i still crush ruben ahehe...
