weekend was

Weekend was....

T'was going to be warm at the gym Saturday almost-noon so before I went there, I pulled up my shorts and a new shirt. Coming from GY to watch the games there is going to be uncomfortable so may as well change the outfit. Hehe... And of course, it's another NSI basketball game. Guess what... nah, you don't have to... we won again! Woohoo!!! You never cease to amaze us, guys! That's 4 in a row-wow-wow! Hehehe... sabi nga ni Arjay, "keep it rollin!"

After the game, Tin, Belle and I went straight to Red Box to meet Ayn, who planned for the KTV thang. Dala ng pagkabigo...wahahaha, corny. Kainis. And speaking of kainis, bakit ganon ang KTV ng "Superman" (Five For Fighting). I had to make okray and say, "Hello! Sabi Superman, hindi Batman!!!" Grrr! Just like Mariah Carey's Butterfly MTV. Uhm, ok so wala po akong makitang butterfly noh - puro yokababs kaya yon!!! Haaaay! What is happening to the world???

The next day, Sunday, was the badminton eliminations. I didn't know how disappointing it was until I got there. Kaya nga ba ayaw kong sumali sa ganyan eh. Oh well, amidst the dreaded pressure, I still tried to have fun. Sana kasi wag mashadong serious noh! GC lang po ang price, ok? Di bale kung pera. Haaaay! To everyone who weren't able to make it to cheer for us, but still remembered to wish me good luck - Thanks! mwah!

After the game, I went naman straight to McDo Greenbelt for Jean and Odie's birthday party. Now this is what I call FUN. I never enjoyed McDo parties until I got here. I wish there were more games. And oh yes, more people! Pero di bale, I got to bring home lotsa food, won a spinning top from a Bring-Me game, and met Grimmace :o) After the party, I had to drag myself home.

... super exhausting!!!

favorite prayer

My favorite prayer...

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
and wisdom to know
the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying the moment at a time;
Accepting the hardship
as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make
all things right if I
surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably
happy in this life,
and supremely happy
with Him forever
in the next.

Amen.

Better

Better. Much better. Thank God the depression period didn't take too long (see previous post). What a relief! You were absolutely right in your last comment Len :o) Yaaaaaahoooooo!!!! (cartwheel)

Lemme say big KUDOS to my favorite basketball team - NSI for winning their 3rd consecutive, edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath game last Saturday. Yeeehaaa!!! How much prouder can I get? GREAT JOB TEAM!!! Shempre ngayon lang ako nag-congratulate. Wala sa mood mag-blog the past few days eh. Hehehe. O sha sha... good luck this Saturday team! And cheer me sana on Sunday too hehe. It's the badminton match and I'm so darn anxious. I want to practice NOW! :op

The most important thing I learned this week:

"Love yourself before others can love you the way you deserve it."

Brought to me by a good friend whom I consider as the brother I never had. He can make sense din pala. Hehehe... It hasn't been a good week for me. I'm in a you-better-not-mess-with-me mood. I used badminton as an outlet (my opponent thinks those were mean smashes).

Good for hundun because currently, she feels loved (aaaaw, shempre naman!). I feel the opposite. But when I think about what my "bwother" said, it lightens me up a bit. It makes me want to do something to cheer myself up. (shopping??? Tiiiiin! Beeeelle! Aaaaaayn!)

Another good friend said I should just take it easy. Well good luck to me (i don't mean that in a sarcastic way). I hope the coming weeks will be better. I don't want anymore of this drama. Argh!

Happy Weekend :o)

yawn!

Aaaahh, at long last. Last class today is done. (Yawn) Was so tired starting from the badminton game yesterday. We met Lourdes, a sales rep at Export and she's good... real good! Anyway, I got so exhausted playing one-on-one with her. She compliments me though because of my strong forehand - and getting stronger (naks!). She was giving me practices for backhands. Talk about Train The Trainer huh. And so after that, we ate, went home and took a nap (waaaah!)

At 4pm, I dragged myself out of bed to prepare for Belle's surprise dinner at 7. Aaaah shower... if only I can sleep while I'm standing and the cold water's pouring over me. Sarrraaap! Pero hello, havta hurry. Don't want to be late. I hate being late!

I got out of the house just in time to get to Dencio's at 7pm sharp. Wow!!! Walang tao sa naka-reserve na long table. Ang saya saya naman! To top it all off, they had this mini-show, typical of such restaurants, wherein one can request for their favorite songs and even go jamming with them. The guitarist sure was good. As for the singer... aaaaaa!!! She tortured me! She's so mean! How? Well let's see you try to sing these:


"Fallen"
I can't believe it
You're a dream coming true
I can't believe it
I have fallen for you

waaaah... "how" yun eh!


"Till There Was You"
There were bells on a hill
But I never saw them singing

grrr... papatulan ko na to! papatulan ko na to!


"Promises"
Promises.
We forget about our promises...
Wowowowowow (with matching shoulder)

ahahahahaha.. texted tin: "mahirap magpigil ng tawa. hindi pwede tumawa kasi mag-isa lang ako dito da ba???"


I'm sorry pero na-bad trip ako because I stayed there for 45 minutes, and I was really looking stupid and pathetic coz I was alone there while the other tables are filled. Not to mention may food pa. Waaaaaah! Sana kasi pag sinabing 7, 7 dadating da ba???

Eto pang worse. I never got to eat at all! Huuuu huuuu... By the time that we finished ordering, it's already less than an hour before my class. I only got 2 cups cappuccino! Waaaaaah! Pero fine fine... buti na lang birthday ni Belle. Ayoko ma-bad trip. So I inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... sha sha, forgive and forget na nga lang. I had fun din naman even for just a short time.

Sigh... I wish it's 6am na. Uwing-uwi na kooooo!!!

sept milestone

Happy Birthday Belle!!!

I was still having sort of a bad day,

buti na lang birthday na ni Belle. Naks!

Luv Ya!

argh!

Just when I'm not feeling good about myself, somebody would greet and ask if I just woke up because she thinks I look like one. Fine, but can you just keep it to yourself?

Hindi ako bagong gising OK???

Wrong timing ka. Mind your own business!

nice game partner!

Hah! At long last, I.. er.. with partner (Angel), won a 3-set badminton match yesterday against Powder and Chun-Chun. Hurraaaah! Yipeeee! Yahoooo! Hehe, sorry, got carried away. I don't often experience this. It was a very close fight - all sets! - but really good ones. With strategic serves, in-your-face blocks, and eat-my-dust smashes, we emerged victorious with a 15-13 score.

Nice game partner! Go for the kill!!!!

Tin!!! Mag-badminton ka na kaseeee!!!!
pictures to follow...

Man oh man! Launch got blocked. Paano na ko makikinig ng Crazy nyan? Harsh! Thank God, there's Ayn to the rescue. She gave me a link where I can find some good songs to listen to. Wala nga lang Crazy. And there's this one collection, "The Art of Letting Go" - really good songs but sad and depressing ones... they made me want to put an entry! Eto... Para sa mga nakaka-relate...

badminton

I can never tell how addictive badminton is. Me and my officemates spent another 3.5 hours on the court last Wednesday and I hardly took breaks. After 3.5 hours, I felt energy rushing and I still wanted to smash. I was unusually on fire! Hmmm... I wonder where I'm getting the energy from? But maybe because my play has significantly improved over the last 10 months of a 3-hr average per week of play, and I'm never been more determined to hit harder than I do everytime I smash. It's really really fun especially when I'm trying to kick a guy's ass. Hehehe....

Unfortunately, I haven't made up for lost sleep since Wednesday. I thought I was going to get a good 8-hour sleep yesterday. Dream on Myls! Waaaaah! Bakit kasi kailangan magising ng tanghali if your work is at 9pm pa!

But still, looking forward to the next badminton day - which is tomorrow! WHOOOHOOO!!! To my surprise, I got a text message from Tin this afternoon inviting for a badminton game. Tin, what have you eaten today? :op Well it's about time! I've been begging her to play with us for quite a long time now but she said she's not into this type of sport. Hah! Maybe I can change her mind ;o) Boy oh boy, am I so excited!
