THE ONE WITH THE BRIGHT EYES

June 6, 2008

THE DEBUT WAS A SUCCESS! CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS A SURPRISE PARTY WHICH IS THE HARDEST THING TO PLAN, TURNED OUT REALLY WELL. 

THE BIGGEST YEY TO THE MOST WONDERFULEST TITA ANYONE COULD ASK FOR..

ATE ROXX, MUCH LOVE. haha.

 

everybody was insanely busy during the day. last minute preparations and rehersals took up the whole morning for the organizers, so i was basically left all alone in house. HAHA. people started dressing up in their “smart-casual” black or red things at around 6PM then left for Makati Park. 

the place was beautiful and shiny. HAHA. it was kitchen themed, so there were cookie cutters hanging from everywhere.

it was the classic blindfold, turned off lights thing then yeling “surprise!”, routine. i finally found use for the huge party popper Earl gave me for Christmas, so thanks, Earl. HAHA. 

the debutant was definitely surprised. she was teary-eyed for the most part of the party. the party opened with the prayer from the loving? Kuya. HAHA. then a message from Tita Susan. after the lovey-dovey stuff, a few my cousins gave a dance performance. they got to the their breakdancing and whatnot. HAHA.

next was the food! amazing food!

the krispy kangkong is a new fave. nuff’ said. HAHA.

after everybody had their helping, it was time for the traditional debut observances. in the spirit of the theme, we had “18 Cooking Untensils” thing. HAHA. close college and highschool friends had their turns to give the birthday girl a cooking utensil which somehow represented her. 

“Si Roxanne daw, eggbeater.” HAHA. 

then the 18 roses, then the 18 candles. i had to dance, seriously. HAHA.

then the real party began. people started dancing and drinking like crazy. everybody dancing their *sses off is a fun thing to watch. HAHA. people were starting to literally end up on the dance floor. HAHA. 

after everything and everyone settled down, people started to say their goodbyes. we were the last people to leave the place since we were the ones suppose to pack up. HAHA. after some chitchat, the usual family stuff. we headed home. 

 

all in all, i had a blast at the party. everybody just let loose and had the greatest time. a chance to let all guards down is the best thing that happened to in days.

people should have debuts more often, or start inviting me to them. HAHA. 

seriously.          

   

NOTHING NEW TO SEE

June 4, 2008

if you’re looking for a decent blog to read, i’m advising you to go away, now. but if you’re not, if you just happen to pass by with nothing better to do, welcome. people with nothing better to do should stick together. it reduces the loneliness just a bit.

it helps ease the pain just a tiny bit. Hahaha.

i’m pretty satisfied with my daily routine these past few days. i’m making most out of the few days i have of summer. i spent most of my days watching Grey’s in my cramped and awfully bright room. i’m still watching GA, but now, i’m watching it in a new flat screen with surround sound, on a brand new coach with ginormous pillows and plenty of room for me to lounge, and bags and bags of groceries; filled with all the junk that i want.

which brings me to the conclusion that life is definitely good. HAHA.

(Izzie comes in George’s room and lays in his bed)
George: Are you okay?
Izzie: Yeah. Yeah I am.
George: Are you okay?
Meredith: Yeah.
George: What happened today?
Meredith: Nothing.
Izzie: Nothing.
George: Okay.
Izzie: We don’t know everything about each other George.
Meredith: Yeah.
George: True.  Anybody wanna have sex?
Izzie: George!

anywhoo. me and my mom went to Glorietta to run some errands and look for a new school bag. the bags in Lacoste were just too small and too pricey. Hahaha. so i decided to buy a GAP bag instead. the bag somehow reminded me of Gossip Girl. i have no idea where that came from. Hahaha.

i’m pretty much excited about tomorrow, but i won’t say why. 

somebody might be snopping.

it’s suppose to be a surprise. HAHA.

June 2, 2008

HIGHLIGHTS from the past few days.

- - Mikh’s Wii party. one of the few days i’ve been anticipating for weeks. Haha. yes, playing with Wii Sports and Trauma Center was definitely fun, no question, but what i really came for was some good old bonding time with great friends. friends who hasn’t changed a bit since i last saw them. well most of them, anyway. Haha. you know i’m talking about you, shaggy. Haha.

- - cleaning my room. i can’t get over the fact that i have so much crap stuffed inside my closets. Haha. but for sure, i enjoyed rummaging through piles and piles of crap, and remembering what they all mean to me, and certain events that coincide with it. believe it or not, i found a scrap of paper with a poem i wrote a bajillion years ago, and it read. . .

Poem. ♥

All the days of my week,

I right the name I dare not speak.

With the sky in her hair,

She is my only and my despair. 

- - i was young. i didn’t know better. heck, i didn’t even know how to spell “write” correctly, much less fall in love with someone. it’s safe to say that i was radically naive when i was young. but who wasn’t? Haha. now that i’m a bit older, it’s also safe to say that i’m a bit cynical; as it should be. Hahaha.  

- - i had a fight with someone. and surprisingly, i’m glad that it happened. it brought out a lot of the feelings i most of the time try to suppress. it brought out a lot of issues i have with that person which i generally try to ignore. and i now realize that my relationship with that person is rocky and unstable, and it has been for years. now, with all these realizations, i can hopefully put things right, and set things on how it should be.

it shouldn’t be this hard. 

atleast, not to someone who’s young as me.

it really shouldn’t be. 

seriously.
