a different point of view

i probably woke up at the wrong side of the bed yesterday, i suddenly lost interest in going to gigs/gimiks and suddenly had a goal in mind, a very simple goal actually - save more. not that i don't want to be with my friends or i want to be a hermit or something, maybe i can still do everything that i used to do but a cheaper, less expensive way? it is as if i realized that i'm not getting any younger, believe it or not i just found out that i was not able to save anything last year! yes, not a single cent and i wonder where my salary went? suddenly a vision of me in the middle of a bar, everywhere in the metro gave away the answer to my very dumb question, hence i have set a goal for myself - save at least 10% of what i'am earning and i tend to stick to that goal by hook or by crook para may self-fulfillment at the end of the year.

last monday, joko and i were able to drag ritz to go with us to a non-cueshé gimik. we met up with miki and jeman @ 70's bistro to watch 6cyclemind and callalily, this is my first not cueshé gig for 2007. chuck was not around to entertain/take care of us, the old guy (hehehe!) injured his knee or something so he had to rest and pass up the gig. sayang kase it's been a while since i've been to a 6cm's gig and i'm looking forward to seeing chuck and finding out what's been going on and what's in his mind lately....i love it when they tell me random things. anyways, i had fun listening to joko's hirits while she was a bit tipsy, jeman's statements, texting jovan and really laughing at his very naughty replies, and listening miki's comment that she keeps on whispering to me. ritz was able to catch callalily's complete set and at least about 15% of 6cyclemind's performance, joko decided to go home early without finishing the gig, at the taxi ride on the way to rockwell she declared that she's finally over him and is willing to move on to her next crushie - a tall guy this time.

oh, argie dropped by 70's to see us because it's been a while since we last saw each other. we were able to sight his lavender bmx bike as well and his new haircut.

first gig for 2007

it is as if history repeats itself, once again my first gig for 2007 is at 19east and with cueshé. i met up with ritz, joko, miki and jeman and 19east at around 930 or so, i was able to gave jeman my late x-mas gift - a melanie b cd from amazon.com and he was so so so happy happy joy joy! hehehe! ruben shared with us the photos of his new baby boy taken from his cellphone, it's too early yet to determine if the boy looks like ruben or kezia but for sure the boy has ruben's beautiful eyes! hehehe! i was able to meet mrs. labrado and fritz's cute daughter - tipay and for the first time i heard them perfrom live their rendition of the asian treasure theme song - walang yamang mas hihigit sayo.

for a change we opted to stay on the 2nd floor of 19east - the view is okay din naman and i was able to take good shots and convince ruben to dance! yehey! as usual there are lots of pictures and lots of chismis and lots of kulitan - kailangan pa bang i-memorize yun? hindi fun pag walang yung 3 elements na yan!

an attempt to have a decent group pic with everybody - as in lahat!

randomness

∞ i checked his friendster and i noticed that the guy doesn't have a pic with a certain band member, on the other hand he posted pics of him with his other workmates. i think it is evident now why he doesn't talk to us and why he's acting a bit aloof, our guesses was right - they are not friends even if they work together, and i wonder why? (do i smell competition?)

∞ his status on friendster is it's complicated, on the other hand her staus is single and she is just 16 years old (well, that's what i saw on her friendster profile) isn't her too young for him? ahem, corrupting a minor?

∞ i really don't have to know their relationship status but then he - as my friend has the tendency of sharing with me how their relationship was doing. i'm flattered however he should know better.

∞ when will he ever respect women? he treats women like a jeans or a shirt that he can wear a certain number of times and then when he get tired of it he'll just dump it and will proceed to buying buying a new one.

∞ i cannot believe that they are still together despite of what he did to her (and me?) i guess some girls are just plain stupid or maybe that's what they called love (or nanghihinayang?)

∞ how did they become friends? they are a bunch of lunatics who have a tendency of doing pshychotic things (blind item anyone?) and they have one thing in common - they have loved and lost (and can't accept it?) their alliance came unexpectedly to me and to the other peeps.

∞ he asked me if it's possible for me to be in a relationship with a guy who has a child na, single but already a father and my reply? i'll cross the bridge when i get there. (mahirap magsalita ng tapos)

∞ i hope she will realize that she's better off without him and that no matter what happens she will be able to recover-move on-smile. getting hurt and building a wall around you to protect yourself from more pain is just part of life - as they say it, charge it to experience. the next one will be better because you'll be wiser!

threesome dinner @ greenbelt

miki, joko and i decided to meet up last friday for dinner because miki is supposed to be leaving for hong kong on the 8th (that's yesterday!), but miki got a job working as a graphic artist @ jv ejercito's campaign office (with jeman the man) so her hong kong trip will not push through but we still went out for dinner.

joko and i met up at starbucks glorietta (where she read cosmo mag cover to cover, kase ang tagal namin ni miki), went window shopping a bit and then decided to meet up with miki at greenbelt. we ate at blue ginger - a thai resto and then we had coffee, all the chikas and lots of pictures at seattles best.

good luck miki on your new job! working girls na tayong tatlo! naks!

bawal ka ng gumimik! mwahahaha! as if your job will stop you noh?

carla.joko.miki @ greenbelt, makati

pinagtritripan namin ni joko si miki! clap clap!

text text tayo!

best text messages/text replies i got over the weekend:

- boobsie (i can't believe that's how he remembers me...)

- i don't love him, and i hate your question (i know, that's why joko chased me sa parking lot ng atc to kill my boobs....i ask really cool questions!)

- hiwalay na kami (in my mind it's....na naman? and tomorrow okay na yan but then can't help but get worried pa din kahit pano)

- hindi ko na siya crush! (anung nangyari? and for real na ba yan? panu na ang langhap sarap)

- i really like you! (patay tayo diyan!)

- guess who's here?! (at naexcite ako sa pagreply...i gave about 5-8 names ata! hehehe! one name per message!)

- thank you so much, dami ko ng utang sa'yo (mababayadan mo din ako balang araw, wag kang mag-alalala, maniningil ako one of these days! hahaha!)

- please text me if you're not busy (naku ha, baka sabunutan ako ng gf mo!)

- would you ever go out with a guy kahit may anak na siya? (very tough question, i don't know and i'm not sure, i'll cross the bridge when i get there!)

nobody's perfect

that's right nobody's perfect.

though some people think they are far more superior from other people, still nobody's perfect.

money can't buy you attention, love, friendship and even happiness. even if you are the richest human being on the planet you still can't be perfect.

just because you talked to me a couple of times, hang-out with me here and then, it doesn't mean that i'm your friend. as i said nobody's perfect and that's my perogative.

if you tell people (not related to me and my friends and the event itself) about the bad experience you had with some people it doesn't make you perfect.

you can't force someone to love you. you can't blackmail them. you can't be psycho about it, otherwise that someone will end up hating you.

since nobody's perfect one should learn to love someone despite of one's flaws or shortcomings - you can't just tell people (everybody) about a person's bad attitude whenever you get a taste/glimpse of it - learn to accept and be there for the person.

you are not perfect - so don't act as if you are god's perfect creation.

sympathy is given to those who deserves it and not to those who asks/begs for it. and if sympathy is given to you be thankful - do not use it against someone just to get more sympathy from others.

i hate it when people judge me based on what she heard from other people - why not talk to me, get to know me kahit a little bit before saying anything against me or before waging war on me. i'm a generally nice person and i can get along with any walks of life and any state of mind. try me.

i finished my studies, i have work and earn my own money, i buy my own things, i buy my own food, i say what i want, i go to church, i'm free to do what i want but with limitations, but i know that i'm not perfect but i try not to hurt people and i try to love my family and friends as much as i can.

i try to live my life in a way that i won't be judged by people - i don't do drugs, i don't steal, i don't engage myself in a relationship where i can hurt the wife, the original girlfriend or even the original boyfriend for that matter (mang-agaw ba?), i don't kill, i don't blackmail, i don't smuggle anything, i'm not corrupt, i don't engage myself in any violent act - but still i don't consider myself perfect and as much as i can i try not to judge (unless i'm provoked).

they say i'm nice but i don't call myself perfect.yeah i'm nice but i can be mean too - and yes it imply that i can really really be mean - a bitch! di lang kayo ang pwedeng maging psycho at gumawa ng issues - i can do that too i just prefer not to because i was raised good by my parents and i don't want to disappoint them and i'm not KLSP but then i can still change my mind.

bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag sumbungero - deal with your issues alone! (ang dami ng problema ng mundo, wag ng dagdagan at wag ng mandamay!) if you can't deal with your issues then don't go out of your house stay there and for sure you won't have any problem or issues. (kawawa ang mga nadadamay sa walang ka-kwenta kwentang bagay) you see, other people have problems too and don't burden them with yours, in this time of day - kanya kanyang solve ng problems na toh!

hell yeah, i can really say that nobody's perfect and this is a free country - i can say anything and i'm entittled to my own opinion and if i annoyed anyone then mabye you are too sensitive or maybe what i said is true and truth hurts baby!

that's life. let's just move on.

7 days to go!

7 days to go and it's christmas na! and i'm not excited yet! hahay!

the simbang gabi tradition started last friday - it's 9 mornings and good luck to yaya, my big bro and chard - i hope they will complete the thing! yehey!

i'm almost done with my christmas shopping - family na lang ang wala! hmmm... how sad is that? well for starters, mahirap silang bilhan ng regalo and im running out of money! hehehe!

ang sabi ni miki "PA killer" daw ako! hehehe! wala akong comment! natatawa lang ako! yun na yun!

watched lots of csi over the weekend, but it was interferred by PDA final night and merry myx mo! hmmm...nagpaka-lousy ako nung weekend at naging couch potato ay hindi pala couch, bed potato. mwahahaha! saya! well, nagshopping din naman ako so it's shopping and hilata sa bed!

i don't wanna text him. i will try not to text him.

someone is going psycho and i hate it.

my week is fully booked - puro xmas party! mwahahaha! well party for that matter and malamang major traffic as usual. yolly will be receiving an award for her 15 years service in harrison and so is amy for her 10 years stay naman! wow girls, manlibre kayo ha! hehehe! pioneer na yan huh!

i love sugarfree's new song, KUNG AYAW MO NA SA AKIN - been listening to it over and over and over again! such a funny and kulit song. well, very eraserheads nga siya.

Kung Ayaw Mo Na Sa Akin
Sugarfree

Kung ayaw mo na sa akin
Di na kita pipilitin
Kung buo na ang loob mo
Bahala ka na sa buhay mo
At di ako desperado
Sa walang kapantay na pagibig mo
Sa mga halik mong walang kasing tamis
Tubig ako at ikaw ay langis

Kung hindi ka na babalik
Araw-araw na akong gigimik
Kung malayo ka na
Ay malaya na ako
Ngunit ang kahapon ko ay bihag pa rin ng alalaa mo

Kung ayaw mo na sa akin
Di na kita hahabulin
Medyo bata pa naman ako
May mabibighani pa sa akin siguro

Kung ayaw mo na ako
Leche lalong ayaw ko sayo
Alam mo naman kung san ang bahay ko
Baka sakali magbago ang isip mo pleaaase

La-la-la-la oohh waahh ohh waahh
La-la-la-la oh waah oohh waahh
