Just some random photos from my already-giving-up Samsung Corby 1.0 phone. He's been with me for five long years. I can't believe he's giving up on me. I.. I'm so.. I can't even..

So anyway, I might buy a new one sometime this month. Enjoy the rest of August folks!

Hey babe. Coffee, you want?
You know I don't like coffee except when it's from you. Give me that.

02

I'm fat huhuhu.

No you're not.

Yes I am.

I'm falling even more inlove with you when you do that.

But I am fat. You used to squeeze my fat fingers and laugh at them, remember?

I was trying to make you pout.

I miss that about you.

I miss you more.

So where's that kiss?
Don't be so abusive.
Come on. Don't you love me?
I do. So much. :*

He loved her, of course; 
but better than that, 
he chose her, day after day.
Choice: that was the thing.

So it's been exactly a month since my last blogpost. I'm making it a point to post something at least once a month despite the workload and well, some other personal shenanigans. This post goes for the rest of July, I guess; on bullets:

• SM Little Stars - Not really the first time I've handled a major event. But this one was extra special cause this time it was for one of our classes. I consider myself lucky to be part of Sir Kevin's CMS 144 (Implementing the Ad Campaign) class roster. It's something you don't get to experience in every class. Real, on-ground event organizing. Plus getting to work with SM City Iloilo executives. Ahh, CMS 145 is definitely something to look forward to next semester.
  
  
  

• UPV 66th Foundation Celebration - My last (hopefully) Foundation Week as a student. Thank god this year's had enough reason to be my most memorable one. With Skimmers winning 3rd in Hinugyaw, plus our uber successful Production Coverage, and of course the most awaited Oblation Run. Hahaha no I'm kidding. Seriously. Not.
  
  
  


• Boses - A must watch for independent and mainstream film lovers alike. Heart-rending and so moving to the point of chills. I got the chance to be a staff member during the special screening here in Iloilo last July 5. Got to meet the stars of the film, Ms. Cherry Pie Picache, the awesome musical duo Julian Duque ad Coke Bolipata. The film is showing commercially in SM City Cinema this July 31! Check out their Facebook page for more details.
  
  
  


• a-curious-thing - My school related, work related blog. You can find it here. All my writings and creation goes there. I decided to put it up sometime mid-July because I noticed most of my works get stuck in my bin and I'm like staring at them with pitty. I think it's unfair to spend sleepless nights on things that only one person (your teacher) will eventually see. It's time for my works to go out there, know what I mean? Blah blah.

I guess that's pretty much my July, in highlights. There's a lot more, only I'm too tired and too sore to blab about almost everything that's happening in my life. Bottomline is, I'm at the happiest peak of it. Thanks to all them special people who make everyday get better and prettier; to him.

I've been a huge sloth in blogging lately. So expect more image-heavy photosets in the coming weeks instead. I love you all, always.

I have nothing much to post really, but I've been finding a way to shove down that cheesy post right there, it makes me sick. Plus I have to get back on posting here, have to find ways to keep it alive. So here. This is a photoset of the Motorcross event my brothers went to last March. I love them dangerous photos.

Some awesome flying photos.

I'm not so much a fan of manly sports like these, but now I think it's cool. I want more of this. Soon, perhaps. I want to start spending more time outdoors. But I don't think I'll be able to sometime soon, not with this weather and the workload of my semester. I think it's getting a bit cold these days, no?

That would be all for now, until something comes out of my preoccupied mind. I love you, always.

Some nights I find it difficult to sleep because of you. I would try to shut my eyes hard, hoping it would help me shove away all the thoughts about you lingering in my damned mind, all the picturesque memories I have come to memorize in the past weeks.  I should never be left alone with my thoughts at night. They are like a torture. Sometimes I feel I think about you too much.

And it sucks. It sucks that right now, and the next long months to come all I can ever do is think about you. Never touch you, never feel your face close against mine, never feel the warmth of your embrace, never feel your kisses once again. At least not in the next eight months. Eight freaking months. How am I supposed to live with this?

I have done great alone before. Since when did spending a day without you or a text message from you become this difficult? I guess this is what love does to you – it makes you need someone so badly to overcome each day. It’s one good reason why long distance relationships suck the most.

It's bad enough that you are going to be far for months. Why does it have to be even harder like this? This is selfish, I know, but I will always be almost over the edge, and you will seldom be there to comfort me when I need you the most. And it sucks that no one in this universe can ever be blamed for the choices I have made. Not even you. These are the side effects you left me, and I guess I just have to suck up and live with it until you come back.

Here’s to more sleepless nights and bittersweet memories coming to haunt me in the next months.

My friends are a miscellany of crazy and fun. They like to make me laugh to death with punchlines only I sometimes laugh at. So what am I, abnormal? Not quite; I guess I'm just a little too nice (or naive) for laughing even at the unfunniest joke thrown at the table.

This is an attempt to bring some of those "punchlines" into life, and post it here. This will be the first time I'm posting something like this here, so here goes.

Cue dialog.
What did 0 tell 8 when they met?

"Nice belt, sexy."
Cue boisterous laugh. End cue.

Lol sorry. I know I just un-funnied the joke. I swear it sounds funnier when you hear it from my crazy, crazy friends. Oh god I'm such a loser when it comes to making people laugh.

So anyway, I guess I'll be posting more of this soon. I feel like some jokes deserve to be shared, it's such a waste hearing jokes and laughing at it for seconds. Every funny joke deserves a share. And besides, I'll be needing much of these in the coming months. Guess why.

So there, laugh often everyone!

So hey there.

I'm alive! I'm not sure you people remember me being in your Following list but I guess you guys deserve a “Hello I still exist” post from this loser right here. I’ve been trying to post something… anything here but I swear the blinking cursor just won’t move every. freaking. time. I’m telling you I always end up staring flatly at a blank post box.

Sometimes I wish I had a more exciting life you know? One that’s filled with schedules and trips and food and adventures I can take photos of and post here. Instead I have this life – all books, and movies and sleeping and reading and having chats with awesome people.

No worries. I’ve got one more year left and I’ll be on my own, venturing into the unknown world of employment (or unemployment) blah blah.

But that’s a year ahead. Right now I just have to focus on acing my senior year and partying hard. This year is going to be awesome. This year is going to be fun. This year is going to rock. It just has to.

 

P.S. My awesome batchmates say hello.

To the one who owns the forehead next to mine,

I am aware of the risk I am taking. True, I'm terrified and it is sad, but I am also happy and it is beautiful. I know I am not exactly the best person to be with. But I hope I am enough. I hope what we have now, this, right here, is enough.  Because I have made my choice and that is you. And I will stand by it for as long as I can.

I've been meaning to blog about my recent travels when I have time on the internet, but because of my being the biggest sloth in town, I always just end up browsing instead. To get back with my inexcusable absence, let me give you a glimpse of our Social Recreation fieldtrip to Mambukal Resort last February.

Some awesome silhouette shots by Gia while Jahno and I were doing ziplining.

I love Gia's precision in taking these photos. They're really pretty motion photos.

That's me and Jahno rowing. I didn't know how incredibly deep the waters were until I was on it. Imagine rowing on a two feet wide canoe over twelve feet deep water. Yikes.

That's Gia, Flora, and some other classmates rowing a four-seat version.

As for the events of my summer, well, so far there are.... none. I'm in Samar for my Lolo's funeral. It's such a sad reunion. The house feels different without him. I will be back soon though for my summer internship. I can't wait to share to you both my misadventures and adventures while in it. Have a good summer break, everyone!

Ladies and gents, the nineteen year old pose. Inspired by one of the bloggers I frequent the most, Rainy. I hope you don't mind me copying your pose in a fail attempt to look a little more decent in this post.

So today I just turned nineteen and I have a lot of people to thank for it. Thank you, most especially, to that person who made this day special by unexpectedly sending me a handwritten letter by mail and a package I will perhaps hold dearly in the nights to come; to the people who made me feel even more special by performing the Palmolive dance craze just because I requested for it; to the people who continue to make me feel special by telling me how better their days become just because I exist; to the family I am most proud of about my existence. Thank you, thank you. There are no words beautiful enough to even begin to explain how awesome my friends and family are. I love them so much it's severely abnormal.

I am beautiful. I am bold. I am sexy. I am smart. I am nineteen. But only because they exist - my friends and family. Without them, I am absolutely nothing.
