I had my medical checkup last Friday. It was “mandatory†though, but it was cool. I had to undergo x-ray and stuff plus the doctor who attended me was from LB too! B.S. Bio! Cool huh? 
Whenever I meet someone from elbi, it just brightens my day 
Speaking of “good moodâ€, my Edward never fails to amuse me 
wahaha
Here I go again with my constant blabbing about Edward Cullen – my love :-*. My roomies are getting sick of my never ending talk about him I just don’t know when this addiction will subside. I think I’m really attracted to anything vampire-ish – Buffy, Interview with the Vampire, Underworld I’m so adoring Edward right now! Waaahh! Can’t stop! But somehow the image of Robert Pattinson keeps popping in my head, although I did not really imagine him as Edward. Although I admit, I like his smile ahihi! Landi!
I’m in the middle of reading Eclipse and I can’t help but to get giggle-ish it was like every mutter from Edward just melts my bones, even though sometimes it seemed hokey ahehe. I think if the words came from the one you love, you just go awed by them. I’m having goose bumps again remembering his sweet mumblings.
“I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.â€
The third book of Stephenie Meyer’s genius is way too exciting! Can’t wait to finish it!
@ann: Kwentuhan ulet! Ahaha!
Belated happy birthday to ras!
Happy birthday lyrs! October metal-mouth cuties! Waaahhh! Amishu :-*
Sigh.
I think my day is getting slow again… waaahhh!

Days, it has been one or two days that I’m feeling this feeling (redundant :-P) – unproductive. I just don’t have the mood or the motivation to do my tasks 
sad… what will I do so that I’ll get my enthusiasm back. Does this mean I’m not interested in my work? Or I’m just being lazy?
Sigh.
Hope that I’ll get out of this episode as soon as possible. When I keep thinking about it, it just drives me crazy. Am just glad that I can still have co-curricular activities once in awhile. Like last October17th, I’ve gone swimming with my orgmates/friends in Makiling Highlands. It was fun yumi, glenn, mitch, mark, khajo, martin, mac, dave, mayang, olive and mac’s housmate (sorry I forgot his name) were there. see photos here
our swimming session (Jo and I)Â was revived again! ahehe…Â

There are a lot of psycho killers lurking everywhere and you would not know when they’ll strike.
If you’re up for heart-pounding suspense, Strangers is for you. Inspired by true events, the story revolved around a couple – Kirsten (Liv Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman). From a wedding reception, they went to James’ summer house. And there the torment from the unwanted guests took place.
We watched this film yesterday in Glorietta4 and the theater was pretty much was booked for us scary…

“Not tonight. Tonight the sky was utterly black.
Perhaps there was no moon tonight—a lunar
eclipse, a new moon.
A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn’t cold.
It was black for a long time before I heard them
calling.â€
I’ve finished New Moon, second installment of the Twilight saga, yesterday! Got to have Eclipse!
In New Moon, I missed Edward so much. It’s a bit dragging though, the book, for me – perhaps because there’s not so much Edward there. It felt like it was just a filler episode for the series :-P. I feel for Bella and Edward, it hurts me that they have to separate (talagang dinamdam :-P). I feel for Jacob too. But the book gave me hints for my twilight-ending theory ;-), I’m just curious how will that happen though. Forever and commitment meant a lot in this particular book. I’ll just hope they’ll have a happy ending.
Whenever I think about Bella and Edward, Superhuman kept ringing in my head ahehe a bit corny eh? Ahehe. But it think it’s appropriate for them ahehe
I LOVE YOU EDWARD CULLEN!

I’ve finished season 1 and 2 of holic last weekend.
If you’re a CLAMP fan then this anime is definitely for you
Medjo naweirdo-han lang ako sa drawing kase super haba ng katawan ng charaters… ahehe… pero okay lang
Synopsis: Watanuki, Kimihiro is not an ordinary teenager – he has the gift to see monsters and ghosts. But his problem does not stop there – the monsters won’t stop bothering him. Then he came across a shop that could fulfill any wishes, there he met a seductively beautiful witch named Ichihara, Yuko. For him to get his wish, he must pay the price, so in return, he worked part-time for Miss Yuko – do household chores and errands. As the story progresses, he’ll discover a lot about his love interest – Kunogi, Himawari; and become good friends with his “rival†Domeki, Shizuka.
Happy Watching!
Speaking of addiction, I got the copy of New Moon today! Yey!

“It’s twilight,” Edward murmured, looking at the western horizon,
obscured as it was with clouds. His voice was thoughtful, as if his mind
were somewhere far away. I stared at him as he gazed unseeingly out the
windshield.
I was still staring when his eyes suddenly shifted back to mine.
“It’s the safest time of day for us,” he said, answering the unspoken
question in my eyes. “The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way…
the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so
predictable, don’t you think?” He smiled wistfully.
I can’t get over Twilight!
Ahaha
I can’t stop talking about it!
I’m so hooked to Edward… I can’t stop thinking about him ahaha…
I can’t wait for the movie, although I did not picture Edward as Robert Pattinson pero pogi din naman sya
I want to get my hands on the second installment of the Twilight Series, New Moon. I read the preview of it, hope it’ll engross me, the way Twilight did. I was surprised with myself because frankly, I’m not into reading ahaha…
About my day…
I did not expect to have an invite from a friend today. It made me happy. Ahaha! My day did not start the way I expected it to be. Aside from the downpour, I was super late for work. Ahaha! But that simple text made my day
Ahaha!
Come to think of it, I was so pathetic yesterday. I’m so emotional lately, that I admit. Ahaha!
Perhaps it’s one of the signs that I’m getting older
Ahaha
Funny
Ahaha
My teammates prepared a “surprise†pizza merienda for my “belated†birthday. Nyahaha! Thanks guys so sweet of you. Ticia (she don’t me calling her “Miss†Ticia) gave a cookie lollipop with baby bottle design ahehe so cute thanks Tish
Well, it turned out to be an okay day afterall.

1, 2, 3, 4…24
“Happy Birthday! Hala! You’re one year closer to your death!â€
                                               -someone told me this a long time ago
It’s the time of the year again… the day I turn 19 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1.
Trivia: my age stopped at 19 wahaha!
**sigh
What can I say… not really looking forward to this day… I’m not getting any younger! Wahaha!
There are a lot of things that I want to do and I felt that I haven’t accomplished anything yet. Ahehe…
Oh well, ahehe, but still I’m happy right now and so grateful for the experiences and people that I’ve met so far Sure there are gloomy and distressing moments but it’s a good thing that I managed to shook them off ahehe…
Birthday wish? Hmmmm… mabayaran lang utang ko! ngayon na! poof! Ahaha!
Hope that this year will be better than last year sana yumaman ang mga mahihirap na kagaya ko I’m a little bit sad because my birthday came on a weekday and I won’t be able to spend it with Inay and my siblings but that’s okay and I was right, it is a GLOOMY day for me, lonely even. I’ve never felt so alone, not at my birthday. Birthdays should be somehow lighter than this. Ahehe… I did not have lunch because I don’t want to eat alone – but that was my choice anyway, but nonetheless, I was alone. hay… I remember, last year, anthony and kurt gave me those cute cakes for my birthday, the ones they’ve bought from starbucks, I was so touched that tears started to fill-up my eyes… I miss you guys! @anthoy! Panget ka! pakita ka naman! @kurt! I miss you! Pasalubong ah! Ahehe. Well I was teary-eyed again this year, not because I was touched, but somehow I pity myself… I don’t know if I chose the right word for that. Oh well, I was still blissful – somehow :-)- because I was surprised by myrel and bramble’s piglet gift I was so happy that they remembered.
**sigh** Good times… good times…
Sana may magandang mangyari ngayong araw na ‘to ahehe… I thought…
Birthday Gift to myself: Twilight by Sphenie Meyer – yep! Nabili ko na din xa! Yey! Sooo happy! And I read it in one sitting I’m so dazzled by Edward… I love him ahaha!
Thanks for the greeting everyone wuv you all :-* mwah natuwa naman ako
@tugs: thanks sa libre last Friday! Sana antayin mo akong kumain ng oden ahehe…
Happy birthday to Renee, Migz de Ramas, Cookie, Randy! Hope you had a wonderful day today!

anntuts and joanna
we – Joanna and I – had a super great 5 day vacation!
We went to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia (Malaysia Truly Asia) and Singapura (Uniquely Singapore) — let’s make tag lines like these for Philippines! The experience was thrilling and our wits and strengths were tested throughout the trip.
Wew!
Few days before the trip, we started drafting our itinerary. Hands down to Jo because she really dig into the details on where to go, how to get there, what time, what delicacy to savor, things that a traveler should know wahaha! I was just beside her the whole time, cheering **Go Jo! Go!
Tip: Don’t travel alone. If you want to be lonely then that’s fine. It’s nice to go places with someone to share the moment to.
Here’s our itinerary for the 5 day trip: itinerary1 itinerary2
See, with matching notes and everything. You won’t miss anything
But due to weather and time constraints and others (wakeup call and downtime – whenever we get lost), the finalized schedule was not followed. Hahah! As what we both call it – charge to experience!
Â
On Board to KL Sept23
About 8:30 PM, we got on Cebu Pacific flight 5J 501 MNL to KLIA. That was about 3 and a half hours travel time.
** NAIA Terminal 3 was “huge but emptyâ€.
Â
Malaysia Truly Asia Sept24
About 12:30 AM we set foot to Malaysia. Eric (Orgmate/Friend) and Ken(Eric’s friend) met us at the airport, took a bus to KL Central then taxi to Eric’s pad in Petaling Jaya Serangon. We asked Eric if we could crash at his place while we’re in KL. He was so kind.
kent and eric
First Stop
After our catnap, we went straight to KLCC to get tickets up Petronas Twin Towers Sky Bridge. We got 10:45 AM Tickets! Lucky! They say that it was hard getting tickets for the tower but then there was no queue when we got there sweet!
To kill time, we looked around Suria, and changed our peso to ringgit (1RM=13.something Peso). Then we went back for our Sky Bridge tour.
After Petronas, we had our lunch. We dined at Madam Kwan’s and tried their renowned Nasi Lemak. If your into spicy food, this food is for you.
nasi lemak
After that overwhelming lunch, we went to Aquaria. They have the longest tunnel ever!
sa tunnel ng Aquaria
We referred to our list and it was time to go KL Tower. We got lost and worst, it rained hard! **chaching! Charge to experience!
Then we went back to Eric’s place, freshened up. Met Eric at the train station and had dinner at Sushi King together with Kat and her boyfriend Kuya Dan.
wala si Kuya Dan, sya ang kumuha ng pic ahehe
After that wonderful Japanese cuisine, we bought bus tickets to Singapore. Our ever dearest Eric took us to the Bus Station. Left 10:30 PM and came to SG at around 4 or 4:30 AM.
Uniquely Singapore Sept 25
Esplanade and Merlion Park
Tip: If you are going to a different country, please change your peso or dollar to the country’s currency. – we learned our lesson
With no SG Dollar in our pockets, we searched for Mustafa – it has 24hrs Money Changer. We had a lot of things in our heads that we forgot to exchange our money to SG Dollars **sigh, what a pity. We’ll call this event, “The Amazing Mustafa Raceâ€. **chaching! Charge to experience!
Then we went to the nearest MRT station – Farrer Park and went to Sengkang, where we’ll be staying.
Another amazing thing happened, after we got off the Sengkang train, we transferred the LRT to go to Rumbia and we board the different route! **chaching! Charge to experience!
We were so tired and hungry… we had a hard time finding Ate Lhen’s place. Hay… **chaching! Charge to experience!
We took a bath and rest for a bit then we went to Esplanade and Merlion Park. A lot of construction going on because of the Grand Prix.
After that, a very long walk to Clarke Quay station. We’re going to Vivo City to buy tickets for Sentosa. In Vivo City we had our lunch and board a train to Sentosa.
Yummy phad thai
Sentosa is a very nice place. I want to go back there! We went to Images of Singapore, Sky Tower, Sentosa 4D Magix, Butterfly Park, Songs of the Sea and boarded the Cable Car.
Then we went to Funan to get a camera for Jo but then when we got there, it was already closed.
Singapura Adventure Day 2 Sept 26
After a nice long sleep, we went to Funan, had brunch and bought Jo’s camera.
Then we went to Orchard Road and met Sandy (Jo’s friend) in Lucky Mall (the Filipino Mall in SG). We took a quick tour of Orchard Road. You’ll find a lot of shopping malls there.
Then we went to China Town. We tried satay – the peanut sauce… hmmmm… yummy!
Then Sandy went back to have dinner with her family and we went to Lavender Station to reserve tickets back to KL. Then we bought souvenirs at a divi-like market **sorry I forgot the name, it starts with Bis-something.
Then we went to City Hall Station to meet Bramble and Myrels. Waaahh! I missed these bruhas sooo much! We had no time to chit chat over dinner because we were scheduled to go back to Malaysia by 9:30PM. We just took pictures and a little kamustahan.
BRUHAS: The SG Reunion
Welcome Back to KL
The trips were so tiring ha.
We went back to Eric’s place. And we met Roselle. Ahaha! I like her! We both love Nakatsu! Ahaha! Lokang babae, and super nakakatuwa sya
We rest for a bit then Ken took us out for breakfast. We ate at Kopi Bug. I liked their sticky rice with chicken inside and their noodles are good too.
After breakfast, we went to Central Market.
Fish Spa!
Then China Town. There’s a store there that I love so much because it was a haven of Anime, Korean and Taiwanese DVDs!
Char siew and Assam laksa
Then we met Ate Cabu at Starbucks in KLCC (at last! After years and years that we haven’t seen her). We took pics of Petronas at night, wonderful!
ann, ate cabu, jo
We had Vietnamese food – bongsen resto, for dinner together with Eric and Ken.
Vietnamese ‘pho’
from left: eric, ken, ann, jo, ate cabu, val
Before we go back to PJ, we pampered ourselves with body massage (Eric and Ken) and foot massage at Big Foot (located at the station after Asia Jaya LRT).
Â
Bye bye KL Sept28
Our last day in KL.
We went to Lake Gardens and visited the hibiscus and orchid garden then bird farm.
After that we went to Beryl’s! I love Coffee Time!
coffee time
Then we went to KL Tower. Finally!
KL Tower view
Then we went back to PJ to pack our things because we’ll be leaving KL that night.
 
dinner with eric’s housemates
Eric’s housemates (Roselle, Ate Didith, Kuya Clark and Sam) were so friendly and accommodating. They are all Filipinos except for Ken – his Malay/Chinese. We had dinner at a Thai Resto and had a lot of laughs! I miss them already
I really like Sam a lot. I want to have another baby sister! She’s so cute and super kulet! Wahaha!
amishu Sam!
It’s time for us to go home… Flight 5J 502 from KLIA to MNL.
The “piso fare” made our Kuala Lumpur/Singapore trip possible. Wahaha! If I may say, this vacation is by far the most exciting and adventurous one yet!

Next Stop: Caticlan
