Last Saturday was Kim's 12th Birthday Party. I still can't believe that Kim is 12 years old. She seems so much younger. Kinda like a certain sister of hers, who may need to act more her age once in a while. ^_^ There was plenty of food at the party and lots of annoying brats running around. Otherwise the party was kinda fun, esp. the part when we watched the TVXQ DVDs. Too bad we only got to the first DVD. There's 4 more to watch. I must remember to bug Karen to lend me the videos. Anyhoo, here are some pics:Sleeping Beauty Cake = so pretty --> Too bad I didn't get to taste itAerial view of the cakeDanyael is too close to that cake...Happy Birthday to You...YAY!!Aww...fake-sister luv (yes Karen, we know how you treat your sister!)Ashley & Al playing foosball (uh-oh! I see Karen's junk...@_@)Cam-whoresThis is one crazy little girl...Karen and moi - LOL, I remember asking Kim if this was a costume party, 'coz I noticed Karen was wearing a cat outfit thingie. Turns out it wasn't and Karen is just being Karen. ;)See?? Hyper-crazyyyyy!!My favorite pic from that night: Angela and me ^__^Me with the birthday girlKim's gift from Karen; so cute!! ^_^Aww...what a sweet card message from her BFF!After the gift opening, we started watching the TVXQ DVDs. Most people went home around midnight(?) so we didn't get to finish watching. :(When I got home, I took some self portraitsHappy...SourThat's all. I gotta go to sleep now. I have work tomorrow morning. I'll post Halloween pics tomorrow or Friday. Goodnight! ^_^

I bought me a new car two months ago; it's a red 2007 Toyota Camry. How I wish my that was my real license plate...Yes, that's MY Hello Kitty car ^__^Some of my kitties are already on board, but I still have to figure out how to fit my stuffed kitties. I might have to super glue them on the car...

Before:My little kitty collection <3<3<3 The backseat passenger...That was my car. Unfortunately, I got in a car accident last month and my car is no longer here :(The good news is that no one was hurt from the accident. And at least now, I'm not so traumatized about driving. So please everyone, DRIVE SAFE!!!I miss my kitty car :( It was a great 6 years driving the kt mobile.Oh wellz, something to look forward to is kitty car #2, which I have yet to shop for. Man, how come I never have time these days to do anything?!?

@_@ I'M GOING CRAZZZYYYYY!!!!I just found this site and I WANT EVERYTHING!!!! -->> http://www.dreamkitty.com*hint*itsmybirthdaysoon*hint*This pretty much describes how I feel right now:Glitter GraphicsMySpace LayoutsLOL, these reminds me of Balloons ^__^Glitter GraphicsMySpace Layouts Glitter GraphicsMySpace Layoutsgeez I need to calm down....but I suddenly feel the urge to run to International Mall....

AAHHHHH.....It's nice to just be lazy sometimes, no? I just spent the past two days doing so...and it was a very nice and relaxing one, for the most part. If you can get past the noise of the Mabilangan sisters, LOL. They could be so loud; you can even hear them coming. Maybe I should include Jarmie to that group, but she was gone most of yesterday so it was gooood. Even today, I barely saw her 'coz she was on her laptop all day. I love to sleep in on my off days. However, I didn't mean to do it on Sunday. I really wanted to go to church for Easter and all (and yes, just so I could wear my new dress and matching $3 shoes), But there were so many more reasons that kept me in bed that day: - too cold (don't get me wrong, I L.O.V.E. the cold weather; and what better way to spend a cold day than to stay in bed under the covers next to your snoring fat cat?)- too early - it's my off day, I want/need my sleep/rest; they didn't even have the afternoon mass- because of the cold weather, I wouldn't have been able to wear my new dress :( So tired of wearing pants...probably why my legs are pasty white, from the lack of sunlight exposure.- going anywhere with the Mabilangan sisters = going deaf; it doesn't matter how close you are, they'll yell at your ear to make sure you hear them (I think it's a Batangenya thing); and even if you are far away and walking away, they'll keep talking as if you have super sonic hearing and can hear them, which is impossible because my hearing's already been poor due to being deaf from them in the first place.- the after church hang-out thing; it used to be nice to say hi to "the barkada" after church on Sundays, but over the past few years, so much had changed and it wasn't the same anymore. drama, drama, drama....how juvenile...U_UYeah, that's all I got. I basically spent the rest of the afternoon on my laptop updating with my music and e-mail and surfing, too. After that, I decided to go out and say hi at least to the people/kids next door who were at the party that we were supposed to go to, but I'm too old to go egg hunting...anyway, I didn't miss much. So I went back home and spent time with my "homies":- Conan, whose name was just recently shortened to Nan by one of the Mabilangan sisters; Poor kitty had to be out in the cold again. I just wished he'd find his way back home so that he could stay indoors OR that he and Tiggy would get along so that we can have three cats. ^_^- Tiggy, lately he's been feeling neglected because of Nan, so I try to give him more attention by annoying him whenever I get a chance. - Lil Su - I'm so glad this weekend turned out to be a nice one for little Su: placing third at her regatta and getting a medal + Ate Su spoilage with food (Tokai and Dove chocolates) and shopping sprees (a.k.a. pre-birthday presents) + lack of Jarmie = nice weekend and should outweigh the negatives like aching muscles and not having homework done* Of course the Mabilangan sisters can't be avoided, esp. on weekends, but if they're pre-occupied with something like juicy gossip, then all you have to do is hide in the back of the house and slide the door shut. ;) Anyway, Lil Su let me stay in her room to watch her TV 'coz someone was hogging the one in the living room. We also got the munchies and kept eating every 20 minutes. I requested Monday off mainly because I didn't want to be the only one to get up early to go to work/school. Everyone was home today, that was nice. We actually had breakfast together on the the dining table even (except Miss-I-do-what-I-want girl), then after that, I finally got a chance to finish Hana Yori Dango which, thankfully, ended pretty nicely. At least they ended up together. Not a lot of Jdramas I've seen ended like that, esp. if the lead character is a JE boy, but we won't go there. Anyway, I really enjoyed watching this drama from the beginning to the end. There wasn't a lot of boring moments **ahem*Goong**ahem** so that pretty much kept attention throughout the episodes. Overall, I think I'll consider this as one of my favorite dramas. I hope I get to watch more shows like this.So around 1 pm, I finally decided to take a shower and get dressed. Lil Su and I went out to go to Centro Ybor...really just to go to Urban Outfitters. That store had some cute stuff...a little costly for me, but I guess it's ok to shop there just once in a while...maybe once a month. Spent almost a hundred dollars there, but it's ok. we bought some good stuff. Then despite the cold rainy weather, we went for some ice cream, ok it was just me...Lil Su had a hot chocolate and a brownie. I had to get the coffee ice cream, it was goooood. After walking around for a while at the Centro, we decided it was time to go. There wasn't much to go to esp. on a rainy Monday afternoon. So we headed to Brandon for dinner at Tokai. ^_^ LOL!! Lil Su was so excited to see that Neon light sign that said OPEN on the restaurant's window. Can't blame her though, we loves this place so much. Su said my eyes lit up when I heard our soft-shell crab was ready to be served. Oh, why didn't we get another order of that crunchy oyster roll?!?!? I crave it now, like a drug. Must find out how they cook it....After an hour of pigging out, we went to Karen's house to pay a visit to Kimmie, who was so disappointed she missed the Easter egg hunt the day before. We bought her some eggs with chocolate and candy. I know it's bad to give her more candy, but the girl loves them..it can't be helped. I just hope she takes care of her teeth...but I'm pretty sure she'll end up in braces just like her "Ate" and "Kuya." Then we went home. Of course our purchases had to go through the mommy detector before we can make it to our rooms, LOL. Not much went on for the rest of the night. Mostly, I just watched that science channel and food network. Then we got hungry again and ate some nilaga..mmmm....Though, I didn't accomplish much this weekend (I now have three piles of clean laundry to sort through), I don't regret that I had a lazy weekend. Everyone's entitled to have them once in a while. Ugh! Now I have to go back to work...4 days in a row..wah!Ooh, but something to look forward to this week; Lil Su's birthday and Philfest on Saturday!! Who's going?!?!?

Oh how I love this cold weather we're having now. Winter season is definitely my favorite. ^_^ I dunno why I'm still living in Florida. Maybe I should move somewhere upstate. But then, I'll have to deal with digging out my car every morning from 8 feet of snow. Maybe not, then. I'll just enjoy this moment, I guess. Hey look at this photo I took from about a year ago.I took this pic on Valentine's Day last year. It was so cold that the ground looked like it snowed. It didn't really snow, it was just frozen dew. The rising sun eventually melted it. Anyhoo, that's probably what I'll see tomorrow morning when I wake up. On the other hand, I'm worried that this cold might be too cold for my new kitty. Yes, we have a new cat...kinda. Actually, he popped out of nowhere. Last week, he showed up on our backyard looking all cute-sy. So I had no choice but to be all "AAWWWWWW HOW CUUUUTE!!" Of course that got my Tigger all jealous and he started growling at it. OMG I've never been so scared of Tigger ever. He's got anger management issues. He attacked me like crazy after he saw me petting that new cat. He sunk his tooth into my left foot and yes, it hurt. How evil!! Anyway, about Conan (that's what I've been calling him and NO it's NOT Jesus!!), he's been coming back every night since we started feeding him. Some days, he doesn't even leave. He'll just stay at our front porch and be our "guard dog/kitty." Oh he's so awesome!! He loves to be petted and he's so sweet. He meows like crazy when he sees you and eats like a pig. He licks his bowl clean every time we feed him, unlike a certain picky cat I know**.Since it was extra cold tonight, we made sure that Conan had a decent, warm place to sleep in. We provided him with an old pet bed we had that neither of my cats wanted to sleep in. We put that in a box, and layered it with some rugs for extra insulation. Hopefully that would be enough to keep Conan warm for tonight. See, if Tigger wasn't so mean, we might've been able to bring the new Cat inside, just for the night. But we all know that no one will be able to sleep with all the havoc that Tigger will cause, if we ever let another cat in the house. Oi Tigger, why do u have to be so mean?!?Anyhoo, here's a pic of Conan:See...ain't he cute? Know anyone who could take him??

So Karen and I had to work on Christmas eve...We closed early, but we had so many of those annoying last-minute-shopping stragglers. UGH!!! I hate it when people do that! Don't they realize that salespeople have lives, too and that we have places to be??? Geez...some people are just so inconsiderate. The way I see it, if you haven't bought that person a gift by Christmas eve, then you never really meant to give them one in the first place and you should just give up and just go home and stop desperately rushing about in the mall annoying salespeople. Besides, getting Christmas presents after Christmas is AWESOME!! It gives more of that surprise factor because just when you think you're done receiving gifts, you get another one and that is GREAT!!Anyhoo, so after work, we had a little party/food gathering in Papaya. Too bad not all of the girls stayed, but that just meant more food for us. HAHA Actually, we had so much food, that we had to take the leftovers home. So after we ate, we exchange our gifts and then took some pictures:Me, Nahyr, Tiara, Jessica (*Hey that wallpaint doesn't look as hideous in the pic as it does in real life)Karen and me. LOL Karen already spent the gift card she got as a present on that red hat she's wearing.Karen, Tiara, NahyrSo after we left Papaya, I had to drive one of my co-workers home. Then I had to go home and change for the party. By the time we finished getting ready, it was 10:30 pm already. When we drove to the party, we ran into my Mom and Dad who just left the party. Then we all felt that would just be useless to show up esp. when people had already started leaving, so we just dropped Karen off and went back home. At home, we took some family pics in front of the Christmas tree and exchange gifts. I really like this little tradition that we have now in our family. It's nice to just spend time with each other on Christmas eve, take some pics together and give each other gifts. I still feel kinda bad about not being able to attend the party, but I have a feeling that I didn't really miss out on anything. Sorry, but that's just how I feel. Anyhoo, here are those family photos:LOL all I ever wanted for Christmas is my very own Hello Kitty! YAY! ^_^Angie being too happy about getting new shoesTigger got new toy mice =^.^=Jarmie and her new food bowlPants!! Yes!! ^_^Madodem's new sweaterI gave Mom a new purse. Ain't it cute?JC got a USF T-shirt. Poor guy couldn't even open one gift, one of his arms was swollen again.IPOD cover?? A-OK!!Jarmie le dork!Le ugly catFamily picMadodem and the kids. Wow, Madodem is so short.The childrenLOL I think Angie's pearly whites are scaring Tigger ^_^The girls (Jarmie is too pale.

Not much to say here, seeing as how only a handful of people can see this anyway. And those people that do see this were already there. Yes I'm lame. Oh wellz, here be the pics:ooh...it was eerily dark outside. BTW thanks for the flowers!!! I love roses partly 'coz that's my name with the proud parentsthis would've been a great photo if I hadn't added the bunny ears. Sorry...MAGKAPATID. Why are Angie and I so small compared to those two "middle children?"With Tita Doris and her cardiganwith Mommywith DaddyMe and my twindo we really look like twins? (FYI: I'm like 6 years older)with MamaWith Angie and MamaDad, Mama, and me = 3 generationsHere are pics from the party:With Tita DorisLOL I saw my Mom trying to take a picture of my reflection, so naturally, I had to smile No, he is not mine. But he is adorable ^_^OMG is that Yoosu Jaehomin I see?!?Me with KimmieMy strawberry/banana-filled cake. YUM!! me with my cake ^_^family picMom and Dad with their matching white Polo ShirtsJarmie with Ashes ^_^EDIT:Here are some pics from Sonila's camera:I look so dark next to SonilaI wonder how many more people will get to use that cap & gown. So far, Sonila, Yanira, and I have used it. Who's next?WOW!! Look how sparkly our Christmas tree is. ^_^Oh and did I mention that I got my IPOD?!?!?YAY!!! \\^__^// Thanks, you guys!! Now I'm going to DL songs and videos on my Junsu IPOD (yes, I named it Junsu :P)

I know I got this from the NewS comm and answered with DBSK stuff but it still applies. Some of the answers are kinda freakishly true and some are like WTF!?!?! I mean how much, really, does Karen know about me? But then again, I do spend like every other day with her. Anyhoo, take the quiz for yourself and see what you get. LJ Friends Meme by

Estoy aqui en la bibloteca. I'm supposed to be writing papers and stuff, but I ended up here on LJ again. Gah!! Why can't I ever focus?!? The fact that there's only two more weeks of school left hasn't really hit me yet. I'm not even entirely sure if I am gonna get to graduste on the 16th. It makes me terrified that I'm not sure if I can pass my classes. My parents are counting on it, especially my Mom, who keeps reminding me that she already requested off from work that day and that I need to invite my friends to come over for a grad party. In addition, I've been requesting for less days from work so that I can "focus" more on school. But here I am, sitting here in the library making an LJ post. I've been here 2 hours at least and I barely opened my notes. Waaaa!!!

Man I feel like crap today. I only got a couple hours of sleep. Some days, it takes me the whole morning just to wake up. I usually start functioning properly around 7 pm. Then I end up going to sleep around dawn but have to wake up a few hours later. I'm so not a morning person. If it weren't for that Balloons song, I would never make it to class. It just makes my day! ^_^ But even then, I still manage to nod off several times during lecture this morning. I've just completely given up on the guy. His voice is so monotonous and could put me to sleep within 5 minutes. Every single thing that comes out of his mouth is not even relevant to the class material. I don't know why I keep coming to class. I blame Karen! :P Yah, if I didn't have to take her to school on Mondays and Wednesdays, I'd probably just stay in bed instead of going to that class. My point is that maybe I should invest in one of those mp3 players (an IPOD, more specifically) and be like Karen and listen to music to drown out that boring professor during class. But unlike Karen, I promise I'm not gonna start humming along or dancing/flailing about whenever a TVXQ dance song comes on. At least I'll try not to. ^_^

Here's what I think:Halloween is not really a holiday that has any real meaning. To me, it's just a day for people to dress up in costumes and eat candy. Whatevs man. We don't even celebrate this in the Philippines. We did have All Souls Day where we go to the cemeteries and visit the graves of love ones. No one does that here. I actually had nice memories (from when I was little) when my family would visit our deceased relatives/ancestors and pray for them. It was a peaceful ceremony. Of course, since it's a Filipino thing, there's gotta be food. And I mean GOOD, home-cooked Filipino dishes.I guess the only thing Halloween is good for is that it gets kids excited about the costumes, candy, etc. I mean I like candy, too. It's just that I think this "holiday" is a bit pointless. Why not just go to the store and buy your own candy to eat? At least then, you can pick out your favorites and you're almost always sure that it's safe to eat. Oh wellz.Happy hunting anyway for those going out tonight trick-or-treating. AND PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!I'm off to work. I think I'll go to the store and buy myself a couple bags of chocolates. I'll probably need to give some out at the store anyway.

I know, to many people, that's plenty of time to write a 3 page journal entry about anything. Ok, not exactly anything; it's more like free-write your thoughts and feelings about the topics you've read and discussed in class type of thing. It's no problem at all, especially if you've done all the readings and attended the class. But why am I here struggling to even form one measly little sentence to get started?!?! Why the heck am I in LiveJournal typing this when I'm supposed to be working on this paper? And oh look! I've already written a whole paragraph when all I have for my paper is the cover page with my name on it. That's, like, a hundred words already. I suck!!

Haaay Buhay! Inaantok na naman ako. Ibig ko nang umuwi at matulog na lang. Sayang lang ang mga oras na iginising ko kanina. Napatulog nanaman ako sa napaka-boring na klase ko. Si profesor na ang bagal-bagal magsalita ay naka-kaantok talaga. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na kailangan pang pumasok sa klase na 'to. Aksaya lang sa oras. Ang mga lectures niya ay walang kwenta. Ang kailangan ko lang naman sa exam ay yung mga study guides niya na pwede ko naman hingin sa kanya sa Lunes. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako'y laging nag-aaksaya ng aking oras sa klase na 'to. Nakaka-bwisit lang ng aking araw. Natulog na lang sana ako. Isa't kalahating oras pa bago magsimula ang aking lab class. Pwede kong gamitin 'tong time na 'to sa pag-gagawa ng aking mga assignments. Pero, as usual, tinatamad na naman ako. Sigurado na pag sinimulan kong magbasa ay aantokin na naman ako. Baka makatulog pa, no? Tapos mamaya pag-katapos ng lab, papasok pa ako sa trabaho. Ay Papaya! Ano na ang gagawin ko sa aking bwisit na trabaho na 'to? Sa totoo lang, ok lang ang trabaho. Si bossing lang naman ang naka-kainis. Abay napaka-tamad talaga!! Sana naman mayroong magawang paraan sa situwasyon na 'to. Ayoko pang umalis. Pero kung wala talaga, di aalis na talaga ako. Marami pang ibang tindahan na may gusto sa akin. Good worker daw ako.O sige na. Hanggang dito na lang. Pang-pagising lang naman 'tong entry na ito. Gising na ulit ako. (Pero siguradong hihikab-hikab na naman ako mamaya). Sana'y maintidihan niyo ito. Kung hindi, okey lang. Mas importante siguro kung tama yung pag sulat ko. Sana tama nga.

So this weekend, I actually went somewhere, besides work, that is. I don't think I can even remember the last time I had a weekend off. OK , so I only had Sunday off but I still got to sleep in until noon. YAY!! But nothing else could ruin that except having my mother nag me to get up and shower, etc. Gah! Oh wellz, at least we went to Prime Outlets Ellenton. Outlet malls are great especially when it's not so crowded with tourists. Also, it's nice if you can buy $6 pants and $3 shirts from Aeropostale. You can call me an Aero whore or whatever, but I can't help but spend all of my $$ there. Everything is so cheap; how could I resist?? I also love the fact that the sizes there are more reasonable than some stores *cough* Papaya *cough*. In the end, I didn't buy as much as I normally would. There wasn't much that I liked and also, I just spent about $150 the day before on gifts. Here are the girls ready to spend $$(NOT!!)Funny, I told Mom to look at the camera and Dad said that there's no point in doing so because she'll end up with her eyes close anyway, and she did. LOL XDDSo after a whole afternoon of shopping, we decided to drive to the Sunshine Skyway bridgeThere's nothing like the Tampa Bay sunsetAfter that bridge, I drove for what seemed like hours to get to Countryside Mall in Clearwater. I went to Brenda's store to say good-bye to Myrta. She, her husband and her daughter are moving back to Puerto Rico to start their family over again. I'm so happy for her. I hope that she and her family will have a wonderfully blessed life with their new baby boy, Jacob. The employees at the store held a baby shower for her after closing time. She had no clue I was coming so I'm glad that she was happy and surprised to see me. I really missed working with both her and Brenda especially. Anyway, after some cake-eating and cake-fighting, people started to leave and we all said our good-byes. The way home was a bit scary. I didn't exactly know the exact way to the bridge that leads to Tampa, but somehow we managed to make it there. So Yay for that nice day! ^_^ I hope I could get more of these days in the future. It's just so unfortunate though that Monday's drama had to ruin it. GAH!!!

It's Saturday night and I'm wiped! School and work are killing me right now. I feel like I'm never home, even my cat misses me. Poor baby :( Whaaa, I'm too tired to write anything worth reading. That Yunho incident is just too sad for me. I just can't believe anyone would do that. Some people are just crazy....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. TIGGER!!!\\^_^// YAY!! \\^_^//My baby is now se7en years old. Now let's go eat some cake.Pics of the birthday boy I wonder what the equivalent of 7 human years to cat years is?

God, I don't know where to start. Journal writing is so not my thing and the only reason why I opened an account here is because I freaked out that one day when I couldn't access the DBSG community page, so I opened an account thinking that the community has decided to become a friends-only account...And it wasn't. All that hoopla for nothing. Yeah, I'm a loser, what else? Anyway, since opening the account, I felt bound to this place and felt like I should start making posts like one is supposed to. It's been awhile since I've written in a journal; At least from my POV I think that writing down all this randomness helps me organize my thoughts a bit. I tend to keep things within and that doesn't really come out well. Lately, I've been holding all this pent up anger towards my boss (I'll get to that later); I know it's mostly PMS that fueled all that hostility but all that anger made me sick for days. My face is breaking out again and that hasn't happened in months. To add on to that, school is just killing me right now. I know it's my last semester (hopefully) and I'm only taking 11 credit hours, but I'm stressing out so much more than I have to. It's the pressure of trying to graduate that's been bugging me lately. And when I finally do graduate, I have to worry about what to do next with my life. Believe it or not, this is an actual "life choice" thing. I honestly have no clue as what I'm supposed to do. Whatever happened to that time when people graduated and they immediately find that career occupation specific for their degree?? What the heck does a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences get me??? Maybe I should've stuck to nursing. I was OK with it actually. I don't know. Maybe I just felt that I could do something more, something different, but I still don't know what it is. Four-and-a-half years of searching for the right career path and I still haven't found it. What should I do?? I don't wanna go to school forever!!!

I'm going loony on these meds. Like COMPLETELY out of head. I'm overly emotional about everything. Instead of cramming it into somewhere in a vacancy of my skull, I've been spilling. Maybe I'm adjusting to...fee-lings? Is that the word? Bwha, I eat rabbits.Imagine the feeling you get from staying up 24 hours, yet without the urge to sleep. This is the tip of the iceberg.The only good thing about it appears to be it is getting me out of shell, not really in person, but on the internet and phone (which is the machine I think will eat my head off). I love it, but it's not worth it though. Right now, it is a struggle to make it to this weekend, which is when I'm discontinuing this fucker. I'll most likely lock myself in my room until the worse of the comedown passes.In this moment of partial clarity, sorry to the two people who are enduring the blunt of this madness, both of you are really fucking significant to me and I do not want a drug to speak for the person. I'll use code names for identification - resonance and beara. Crack that code, Watson. /End Dramatic Attempt at Summarization
