Stress? What stress?

B: Find me a maid. I think I need one. Taga kuha lang ng tubig, ash tray, open and close DVD player for me tsaka pag may mga papakuha ako.

A: I'll be your maid.

B: No! You're my queen!

Once in a blue moon...

An officemate told us that if you are with someone during blue moon (phenomenon where a full moon appears twice in one month), you and that person you're with will stay together forever.

Last night, I was with The Lion.

Last night happens to be a full moon.

Does that mean The Lion and I will stay together forever?

LSS for the day.

"Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out, I just didn't know what to do..."

Watcha Say by Jason Derulo

Make me understand, please. I don't read between the lines so you'd have to spell it out for me.

WHY?!

"You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing. I need to find you..."

Was singing that song in my head when I woke up. Why?! (-_-)

Karma is a bitch...

Okay, two weeks ago I broke a promise to The Lion.

Now, it's his turn.

Tonight, we were supposed to watch a gig in QC and tomorrow, we were supposed to attend the baptism of an office mate's baby. He canceled on both occasions.

What upsets me though is the fact that we planned this weekend 2 months ago pa. I guess we just didn't anticipate last night's expenses.

DAMN! But I'm really pissed. Can't get to shift paradigms on this one.

I think I need a new hairstyle.

(VANITY ALERT... Loads of pictures of me will be uploaded in this entry. If you don't want to see my face, leave and FAST!)

The Lion has been forcing me to get a haircut since God-knows-when. He said if I weigh at around 12o lbs, I would loose 90 lbs just by getting a haircut. Bastos.

Anyway, I've been thinking about which hairstyle will suit me best.

This is how my hair looks like now. Yes, it's all big and messy and dry. I actually look like a lion here so I'm not that much offended by what he said. I told him pa nga that he should be flattered because I am slowly turning into a lion right before his very eyes.

This is option number 1. I have been thinking of getting my hair rebonded. This is how I'd look if I got my hair straightened. I don't like this look for 2 things: 1. I think it looks blah. Walang dating. Boring and 2. I won't be able to tie my hair, summer pa naman ngayon.

Option number two isn't really a hairstyle for me but I'm putting it anyway. Full bangs. Not really a huge fan but I think it will make me look different for a while. It will also make me look like a strawberry because of all them pimples on my forehead.

Option number 3 is what I'd really want to do with my hair. I WANNA CURL IIIIIIIT! 'Nuff said.

If I don't get the hair I want, I should at least tame it, right? Right. But I am too lazy to wake up early in the morning to fix my hair. Boo me.

Actually, I am willing to change the way my hair looks but never ever EVER will you see me looking like this:


KTNXBYE.

Usapang Pulitika...

(Sorry for posting this later than it should be posted, I wasn't able to go online for 2 nights)

On my way home two nights ago, I saw this campaign ad of Loren Legarda with Sarah Geronimo and it got me thinking: I used to root for those broadcasters/journalists/media people running for public office because they know firsthand what the people are complaining about.

Through the years, I thought to myself "Loren Legarda is one of the politicians that came from a media background but why the hell don't I want her to sit in any public office?". Realization hit when I saw her crying in the Senate. I'm annoyed by her face. HAHAHAHA! :)) I'm soooooo shallow.

Anyway, she's just one politician 'cause I'm still voting for Gilbert Remulla. :)

I have to apologize for doubting you.

The Lion: Naniniwala ka na sakin ngayon?
Ale: OO, NANINIWALA NAKO. *laughs*

Hahahaha! :)) Panalo.

You're the best thing I never knew I needed... (Yeahuh!)

Never Knew I Needed
Ne-Yo

Verse 1-

For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction

For the way you took the idea that i had
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing...

For the ending of my first begin
(And) For the rare and unexpected friend

For the way you're something that I'd never choose
but at the same time something i don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again...

Chorus-

You're the best thing I never knew I needed
when you appear i had no idea...

You're the best thing i never knew i needed
so now it's so clear i need you here, always...

Verse 2-

My accidental happily (ever after)
The way you smile and how you comfort me (with your laughter)

I must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you're the beginning and the end of every chapter...

Chorus-

You're the best thing i never knew i needed
when you appear i had no idea...

You're the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it's so clear i need you here, always...

Bridge-

Who knew knew that I could be...
So unexpectedly...
Undeniably happy (yeah)
With you right here, right here next to me...

Chorus-

You're the best thing i never knew i needed
when you appear i had no idea...

You're the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it's so clear i need you here, always...

...Now it's so clear, I need you here always


Edited: Okay, I think this really IS the song. :) Good vibes, parekoy.

Last night was totally mind-blowing...

Yun lang. :)

Affected?

I am bothered by the use of Drop It Low in Showtime.
I really am.

Dear ABS-CBN,

Please stop using Drop It Low in Showtime. It doesn't make sense. At all.

Thanks.

Aleigna

You can thank your stars all you want but I'll always be the lucky one...

Busy, busy weekend.

Yay me for having a busy weekend... IF The Lion and I agree to go to all scheduled "events".

1. Thursday (Will start today because I consider Thursdays to be part of the weekend) - Birthday of The Lion's brother at Retiro then off to Tiendesitas/Home Depot for my cousins' despedida party.

2. Friday - Despedida party of my boss at their place and/or welcoming party for Rico and Sergie with the rest of the TVStyle gang... At least the Tapays. I think everyone in post will be at my boss' despedida. I think lang ah. But I have a suggestion: Why not combine the two parties to one so everyone could be with each other's company? (Akala mo naman di araw-araw magkakasama sa office...)

3. Saturday - Might go with the Serranos to the airport to bid Thel and Miko farewell. Then off to Retiro again for The Lion's sister-in-law's birthday celebration.

4. Sunday - Family day as usual. Grocery-ing and shopping at Tiendesitas then mass at 6pm.

Okay, it's not THAT busy but at least there's something going on. I hate being a bum on weekends. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things. As if that bothered me before... Well, it does now.

WHAT IS MABAGAL NA INTERNET CONNECTION?!

What a conscience... (Hahahaha!)

I've finally decided to go to mass without the rest of the Tejadas (It has been, what? 4 years since the last time I went to church alone?). Upon entering the church, I had that overwhelming feeling of happiness and I thought "This is going to be good..."

I sat at one of those church seats (yeah, I dunno what they're called) up front and started thanking him and all that. Halfway through my personal prayer, I heard the commentator give the overview/summary of the Gospel for the day: THE PRODIGAL SON. I had to laugh. I dunno if it was a coincidence or I made it happen by thinking about it ("To think is to create") but either way, I got stunned.

I listened intently to the Gospel. I listened even more when the priest gave the sermon after the reading. I cried A BIT. His words struck every nerve. That's when I realized I came back home already.

Listening to the mass felt good. Having that decision to go to mass by myself felt good. Actually listening to a friend's advice felt good. Everything feels good right now. :)

Glad I came. :)

On keeping promises

Was supposed to sleep at The Lion's Den last night but due to family emergencies, our little sleepover had to be canceled. Along with that, the Pacquiao-Clottey match we were supposed to watch together has been canceled as well. We planned this weekend prior to last week to avoid any conflicts with our schedules. But then, you can't avoid these types of emergencies (yes, this is an exception to the rule of the first and second quadrants of the time matrix).

I have every excuse in the book on why I had to cancel the sleepover. But that's not the point of all the guilt I'm feeling: It's me, assuming that nothing will EVER come up this weekend and telling him that the sleepover's a go and assuring him every hour on the hour 'til the moment my dad entered my room telling me that my grandma is in the hospital.

Dapat talaga di ako nagsasalita ng tapos. It's especially hard when you're talking to someone as straightforward as The Lion.

Sweetest.

(Untitled)
The Lion

The morning wakes
I find myself tangled in vision of your warm embrace
I pour some coffee and slowly swirl
In memories of the nights we watch the stars fade into space

I'm addicted to your tender kisses
And it's keeping me up all night
I didn't expect I'd be so affected
Everytime you look me in the eyes,
I become so helpless

They move so long
The symptoms only aggravate
Like wishing for a passerby to stop awhiole
And listen to my story of how much brighter you made my life

Let your love caress me
Like the tide embraces the sea
Let our soul connection bring me alive today

Turn it on like a flash light
Satisfied, electric appetite
Automatic love you may take no lust
Addicted to your love like magic dust

Impatience is a virtue?

I am getting impatient with this. I can't find where the date header for this thing is. I used to know which HTML code is for what. It's frustrating for me especially now that I just want a simple layout.

(I am very much affected by this because it is NOT what I'm impatient about.)

Maybe I just am impatient with all that's been happening (Inamin din...). I haven't even received one decent text from him and it seems like he's hiding something from me. No, not another girl. Not even that he's sick or something. It's about us. It's about how I am acting/thinking/talking lately. Boo me for making him think I don't trust him...

I should wear make-up again.

The Lion's been telling me I've been looking like crap lately.

Blame all the sleepless nights for the pimples!

Question: How do you tell someone how you really feel?

Better question: How do you make someone believe that what you are telling him/her about the way you feel is real?

Again, I am the worst daughter in the whole world.

Yes, I am affected by all those cheesy-ness...

... I just don't show it.

A: Bilis ng demo mo ah.
B: Namiss kasi kita e.

Anubuhrrrrrr... :)

High School life all over again...

I am currently (okay, maybe not) working on a homework for our Law of Attraction seminar and can I just say I miss having to cram over something?

Homework was given two days ago. Due date's today and I'm not yet even halfway through and seminar's at 5pm. That may seem like a long time but this is a personality development assignment. It's kinda hard to get my thoughts together. Great.

So saaaaaad...

Reasons why I can't update this place as often as I want to:

1. I don't have a laptop. Hehe. :)
2. Okay, we do have a desktop computer at home but I am rarely home lately.
3. Office PCs are strictly for work. At least during working hours.
4. My phone can't accomodate long entries.

Boo.

So obviously, I won't be able to update this place with long blog entries using my phone 'cause 1. I can't edit my posts (colors, indentations, etc.) because I don't know HTML (I'm maarte like that. I want my posts to look a certain way) and 2. Typing long messages through my phone bores the hell outta me.

Expect Twitter-like updates, then! Hahahaha! :))

Thanks. :)

"Cause when nothing seems clear,
You'll be safe here."

I love the Law of Attraction

I do. :)

SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIIIIIIIIIS! :((

Might really have to do this sooner or later...

A friend suggested that I jot down everything that's in my mind right now to prevent me from falling apart. I will follow his advice because I believe that I might actually go crazy if I don't.

(In no particular order)

1. My family hates me. Thankyouverymuch.
2. I can't seem to do anything right.
3. The only place where I feel "great" is in the office. And even there, I seem to be a screw up lately.
4. I haven't been the perfect sister to my siblings.
5. I haven't been the perfect daughter to my parents, either.
6. I've been keeping a lot of secrets from my family (I don't think you can blame me for this. They've been too hard on him, how can I tell them, right?) and friends.

Okay, I know that The Law of Attraction taught us that we shouldn't be focusing on what we don't want. But really, it is that hard for me.

No, it's not that hard.
ICANDOTHISICANDOTHISICANDOTHIS.

Okay, I still am not done finishing this place up.

I can't decide what layout to use and on top of that, I can't customize my page because I am HTML-illiterate (is there such a term?) like that.

Boo me.

"...for a chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it all."

Okay, now I have to admit that there's someone.

He scares the hell outta me.

Why? Because I do everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) for him.

It's like falling in love for the first time.

Just like high school.
