Example 1: Your friend posts a pic of her across Europe Most sick people would say, she's bragging about being to Europe! Example 2: Your friend posts a pic of her in Luneta They'd say, "DAY OFF MO INDAY?" -------- Example 1: Your officemate buys an LV bag and uses it daily . They'd say "ang yabang!!!" Example 2: Your officemate buys a bag from 168. No comment. Perhaps a snigger here and there. -------- Example 1: Your friend expresses how she's torn between Vera Wang and Lhuillier They'd say "ang yabang!!!!" Example 2: Your friend expresses how she's torn between Aling Iska and Mang Ambo They'd say WHO THE F*** is Iska and Ambo and laugh their asses off. ------- Example 1: Your cousin buys a Manolo Blahnik shoe They'd say "ang yabang!!!!!" Example 2: Your cousin buys a shoe from Tutuban They'd say ang "cheap!!!!"
NOTE:
This doesn't apply to "normal" people. I'm only talking about people who have no lives here. The only life they have is to gossip about others and say the nastiest thing they can ever come up with about everything that person does. They can only feel good about themselves when they put someone down. Unfortunately, yes, they do exist.
How is it that when a big name is mentioned, that's considered bragging? And when some unknown brand/designer is concerned, it's not? And worse, WHATEVER YOU DO, whatever you do buy, something expensive or something cheap, people will still find something BAD to say about it! They can tell everyone how much of a braggart you are or they can make fun of you like you're some sort of impoverished kid from Africa or something. Whatever you do, if someone wants to find something bad to say about you, THEY WILL. If someone asks me where my reception venue is and I say truthfully, Blue Leaf, THAT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN I'M BRAGGING! Don't ask a question that you're not ready to hear an answer to! Would you rather me lie and say dito lang sa bahay??? Why is that f***ing bragging?? If someone asks me where I would buy my shoe and I say: a. Manolo Blahnik That's bragging right?? Just because he's a big name shoe designer and his shoes are expensive! b. SM That's not bragging! Because it's less expensive, cheap even, readily available and bitter people like whom I'm talking about in this post, can afford to buy! Just because people have stuff that you maybe consider expensive doesn't make them nagyayabang or mayabang! Haven't you thought that maybe I saved up for 2 months just to buy that? I'm not bragging about any "wealth" because I'm so far from being wealthy. I don't have a mansion. I don't have a private jet. I don't have a private island. Being able to study overseas, having one freakin' LV bag, and having a fiance who is generous like crazy, IS NOT CONSIDERED WEALTHY!!!!!Nakakaawa naman kayo at ganyan na agad ang definition ng wealthy sa inyo. Tumingin kayo kina Zobel. Yun ang wealthy. Ang babaw nyo! PISS OFF YOU WEIRDOS!!!! GET A LIFE!!!!I'm just so sick of this. I don't want to start the new year like this! My gosh!! This is fully draining me! I just feel like deleting this whole f***ing blog just so people who have no lives will have nothing to talk to about! MY GOD!!!!!!!! ARGHHH!!!! You're in DENIAL that you're envious! And you have some nerve to tell me I'm being narcissistic? Last time I checked YOU GUYS were watching MY every move, waiting for me to f*** up, then you will have some juicy story to discuss with your other loser friends over email! I don't recall ever having to toot my own horn UNLESS someone pisses me off! In fact, it was completely the other way around! I'm my biggest critic! Narcissistic my ass!! You make mountains out of molehills! You bunch of retarded psychos!! THIS IS MY LAST WARNING:
IF, I SEE ANY PROOF, THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AND STILL IS TALKING ABOUT ME, I WILL SUE YOU. SO I HOPE YOU CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES.
Just try me and you will be surprised that the next letter you will receive is the one from our lawyer.
(wait....... I'm bragging there right? By your standards I mean. LOL)
You don't betray me and think you can get away with it unscathed. If you wanted to make it public, I would've obliged much earlier, IF only I had known. But you're too good of an actress, you desperate housewife you. I feel bad that you have to go out with every single guy you encounter simply because no one wants to take you seriously. Are you panicking cuz your 'friends' are getting married left and right? Go on... get married to your seafarer beau. I hope you make nice babies together, then maybe you won't have enough time in your hands to gossip about people! Aww won't that be nice? I sure hope so! And you tell me you "love" me? That's the best joke I've heard for years! Sorry but the feeling ain't mutual: I HATE YOU! Keep yourself cold okay? I don't want you to melt and spread your plastic, icky self all over the place. No maam, we don't want that!
As for ya faggot, keep spending your hard earned call centre money for zit medications. Maybe after 10 more years, you'll see an improvement with your skin. While you're at it, get an attitude overhaul. You two seriously need one. Being GAY is not an excuse to be ABNORMAL. You cant act all high and mighty and use your erm, very gay personality, to get away with it. You're a retard. Is that because of the drugs you took? I bet it is.
You've done this before to your 'friend'. Remember her? She paid for your Boracay trip and what did you do? Insulted her left and right when she turned her back. The excuse "we're just joking" is way overused so give it a rest. You are all cowards. You cannot be honest if your life depended on it. You hide under these false pretenses. Well, *WE* can see right through you. Who are your real friends now?
Have a good look at each other. If you can seriously say that he/she is one of your "REAL" friends, I'll snort in your face and say, who the hell are you kidding?
If you can dish it out, you gotta learn how to take it because I will make sure you get the same crap from me. ^_^ Though I know my time is spent better on preparing for my wedding to my Mr. Right. What about yours? Go on and keep working. Maybe in a year you'll save enough money so you can pay for 4 of your friends' boracay trip as well. Or no wait... maybe by that time, you'll have enough money to pay for your own wedding! I know it's not gonna be as beautiful as mine no matter how hard you try. I'm grateful I've seen your true colors before that special day. And I even asked you to be my bridesmaid?! My God what was I thinking?!
Just because I've been a nice friend to you all these years doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Oh hell no. If you think I'll keep my mouth shut, you're wrong again. This girl right here cannot be intimidated and bullied... EVER. Especially by lowlives like you.
Please get a life. I'll pray for you.. that you two drop dead.
Karma's a bitch!
Gian's paternal grandfather passed away this morning. He was really sad when he was relaying the news to me... I wasn't used to it. He's always been very bubbly. His Dad is arriving Monday... and so is Gian. They're only staying here for 2 weeks but that's enough. Dinner again guys? ^_^
How good did it feel to wake up knowing that today's gonna be a cool day? I went straight out to our backyard the minute I stepped out of my room yesterday. I inhaled very deeply and spread my arms, grateful for the cool breeze that greeted me. It was only 29 degrees outside but when the previous day had a temperature of 39 degrees, you will really FEEL the 10 degree difference. Autumn is finally here.
And I'm happy.
^__________________________^
how lucky am I to have experienced it NOT!! I miss my autumn!! We've had high temps at high 30's (38, 39) and even 40s for 2 weeks already! It's so deadly esp when you have school and the hot weather just makes you feel lethargic and unproductive. I just HATE summer weather. Like I said, its supposed to be autumn now (autumn begins March and ends May) but it still feels like it's summer! Weather forecast says the temperature is gonna drop to 34 by Tuesday and 31 by Wednesday. Hopefully by Easter, the temp drops to high 20s and mid 20s. If we're lucky, even low 20s! Oh that would be sooo good!!! 34 is still pretty hot but man, that's nothing compared to 38, 39 and 40 degree weather!!!! It wasn't like this last year that's why I loved Autumn. The temperatures have always been at the 20-degree range. It's just perfect. Not cold and not hot either. We'd get some warm days but that's only during the start of Autumn... During summer and when a 28 degree celsius weather is forecasted:
us: YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! During winter and when a 28 degree celsius weather is forecasted:
us: NOOOOOOOOOOO it's gonna be sooooooooo hot!!!! edit:
Forecast for this week is
Monday: 39
Tuesday: 30
Wednesday: 28
Thursday: 24
Friday: 28
Saturday: 30 I'm quite happy ^_^

I had surgery yesterday to take out a sebaceous cyst on my back. This is the 3rd time I had surgery in my life and like before, it's the anesthetic that I was worried about. The pain when the anesthesia goes through your laman is just sobrang mahapdi! Super hapdi nya talaga! Gian was watching when the doctor injected local anesthesia on my back but he had to turn away and leave the room at one point cuz he said, the doctor kept "stabbing" me with the injection. LOL! I was already semi-screaming at this point cuz the doctor didn't even let me rest! He just kept injecting it tuloy tuloy. BUT in fairness to me, I was still smiling when I was saying ouch and all that. ^_^ I found it funny. But yeah... all's good. I can't move properly cuz I'm scared the stitch would rip =/ and the doctor said that, since it's a pretty big cyst, aside from the cut he made, he had to make an internal stitch as well cuz I have a big cavity inside. YIKES! So i can't really move. I'm moving and walking like I have a board stuck on my back and as if I have a neck brace. It's tough! Imagine how I sleep. I sleep on my right side! THAT'S IT! Aray talaga! I can't dress by myself too!! Or bathe! I can't get it wet for like, at least 2 weeks I think? How will I be able to work... I wonder why and how I got this cyst.
...planning an out of town trip can be this stressful! I've booked our flights to Puerto Princesa, Palawan on the 9th of January. We're heading back to civilization around 5pm of January 11. I asked my dear partner to pick the resort he wants to stay at. I gave him the websites and even the rates so he knows straight away. Surprise surprise, he wanted to stay in Miniloc! I have to agree the place LOOKS (from the pictures) and SOUNDS (from the reviews) SPECTACULAR but... it's so spectacularly expensive too! I just can't let him spend that much. So we ended up deciding on Lamuro. the problem now is... how our itinerary would look like!!!! We want to do the Dos Palmas Day Tour and also Honda Bay Tour. However, El nido is I think 6-7 hour drive away from Puerto Princesa. So with only 3 days and 2 nights, I dunno how we can fit it! ___________________________ I ate at Tokyo Tokyo today with my mum... Beef Misono!!! YUM!! *drools* I missed that!! I had potato balls as well. And of course, their red iced tea. Just thinking about it makes me go hungry all over again ^_^ Other places to eat at:
Cafe Breton, Dencio's/Gerry's/Congo grille, TGIF, (some place in GB2 and GB3) EDIT:
okay... I think we're just going to skip the Dos Palmas day trip otherwise, the schedule's going to be way too tight. So Lamuro and Honda Bay tour na lang. Renting a van from Puerto Princesa to El Nido would cost 12k!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I'm just gonna take the bus, thank you. Yun schedule naman ng bus from PP to El Nido, 7am to 9am lang. Eh we're going to arrive 9 something pa e! =( hay... pano ba to...

I want to be one. But with my schedule, I dunno how! studying full time, working part time, studying at home, doing household chores and going out with the bf takes ALL of my time. Maybe I can devote 4 days a week to go to the gym... 2 hours per day should be alright..... I guess... I'm mainly gonna do cardio exercises anyway... and I might join their Pilates class! ^_^ I really wanna be toned and kahit siguro mapuyat ng konti, okay lang. If there's a will, there's a way!!! anyway... our anniversary went great! He loved my gift so that's good. The food, the restaurant, the service, the ambiance were FAB!!!!! There were a few bloopers that night but
or else I'm gonna break! I've got a mock panel interview tomorrow in front of the whole class as my final assessment in one of my classes. Just thinking about all the questions they will ask me in front of everyone makes me forget my english! PANIC ATTACK TO!!!! Also... I need to submit my final assignment by this week for another subject. UGH! Plus I've got work! Tomorrow I need to leave straight after class to go to Subway. Got work til 11pm! And I've also got work the next days... I'm done with the written exams and I'm just waiting for an email to see if I passed the last one... I sooo cant wait for next week to be over. Hell, I'll be happy to see the end of tomorrow. I just want that panel interview to be over. I hate that subject!
one year down... one more year to go... whew! I hope I can make it! there's only 2 weeks left and it's already the end of semester! I can't wait!! Only downside with end of sems is the humongous amount of work you have to finish by the end of sem. There's final exams, assignments (projects), practical tests and other requirements the lecturer can think of. LOL! I just had my final exam in one subject today and I passed. I also passed the assignment as well as the practical test so that's one down.... ermm....... 3 more to go!! YEY!!!! I finish on the 29th and i'm partying (not literally partying but...) the next day! WHEEE!! Anyway, I only have 3 days of school and all of them are only half day classes. I was heaps bored at home with nothing to do but chat with Gian while he's at work, so one day, I decided to look for a part time job. Subway was hiring so I emailed them my resume etc etc and I got a call the very next day. I'm now training to be a certified sandwich artist. Currently, I've spent 8.5 hours training with them but Im training with them again this Thursday (5 hours) and Friday (8.5 hrs). It's actually fun! Time goes so quick! You are on your feet the whole time but you do so many things that you hardly notice the time and before you know it, your shift's over! Pay is pretty good too. I wanted a job in the I.T. field but they're not really looking for part timers. And since I'm studying, I can't really do a full time job. I can't wait til I finish. Then I can apply for a permanent resident visa... then a job. Then save. Then get married. LOL! Joking!
I wasn't supposed to know but
my brother is asking around what my blog's address is...
so yeah... LJ blog shutdown.
 Didn't know they were taking our pictures from behind! Jasper's hands!! Naughty naughty naughty.
 After waxing his legs... LOL! My boyfriend is sooooo cute!
 pose one... pose two...
 outside of The Grand in Glenelg... celebrating Jasper's birthday whee!! *feet was killing me!!! stupid shoes* no pictures!! noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! *hides*RANT: You can't really call someone cold hearted and weak just because of one action they showed. All of us have different strengths and weaknesses. I maybe tough in saying goodbyes but you may not be. I may be weak when it comes to erm, cockroaches and snakes... you may not be. I know I don't usually show my weak side but if and when I show it, that's really the weakest as I can get. not my fault if I grew up tough... and..... why is it that YOUNG girls here in Australia can't stop pouting and puffing their lips in pictures? OMG STOP!!! You look UP YOURSELVES!! And act your freakin' age for goodness' sake!! Geez!!

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
when I can't fall asleep.
You're the field in the middle of the city.
When I'm rushing by at the speed of light.
You're the strong resolution when I find no peace.
You're the church bells ringing in the evening.
When all is quiet, Your whisper comfort lifts my heart.
I get so weak.
Ohhh.... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...
you're lovely.
A million ways cannot explain,
you're lovely.
You're the soft words that touch me
when I just can't speak.
You're the breeze on the ocean in the morning,
reminding me to greet the day.
You're the flowers I remember seeing in Italy.
Colors through a golden haze, bright and radiant,
soft and fragrant In the noon day sun,
it makes me sing.
I understand...
There may be grief and there may be pain.
But I am aware you blind the darkness
with who you are because...
you're lovely.

you guys know how much i like LOVE food... and once in a while, I get these really INSANE cravings. Yung tipong, I have to and I MUST eat it. Even if I'm already up to my neck sa kabusugan, when my craving strikes, hala. Lagot. When I got back from Australia this February, I blogged about being such a glutton that I made myself sick. I really did. I almost threw up cuz I ate SO much in just ONE afternoon. I think within 6 hours lang yun.
Starbucks (snack)
Pao Tsin dimsum (snack)
Cafe Breton's La Pinay (snack)
Rai Rai Ken (dinner)
anyway, 2 weeks ago, I had this massive craving for crepes. Yup, crepes. I missed Cafe Breton's La Pinay (nutella, mango slices, tons of whipped creme and some sort of syrup). I dunno why but hardly anyone of my friends here in Adelaide know what crepe is. So I have no idea where to find them and if they even exist here in Adelaide!
luckily, Rizzele found some in Chinatown (of all places). It's sooo yum!!! Gian brought me there today for the second time. I tried mango crepe naman cuz last time, being the chocoholic that I am, I just had to have the chocolate crepe! They're both so GOOD!
afterwards, we saw Flight Plan at home then went to the mall with Gillian, Jasper and Michael... left early cuz I had to bring my cousin home early (she was in the same mall... she went with her friends after school) or she might get into bigger trouble :-S
I know you guys know how crazy I can be... but I waxed Gian's legs. Now there's like a bald spot in his right leg. He screamed and he was like hyperventilating even before I ripped the wax off. OMG my poor baby!!! I was touched ^_^ *crazy chick yeah I know I know* I was touched cuz he did it for me! And for fun =P
we're celebrating Jasper's birthday tomorrow and I just can't wait! I need to get ready 2 hours before they get here cuz this hair, my so-straight-hair-you-can't-do-anything-with-it, needs to be curled, tousled and volumized... so yeah.... good luck major to me!

for everyone |
effort

effort

effort
e f f o r t
what is it with girls and the issue about guys not exerting enough effort? okay... lemme try and explain this the best way I can.
scenario 1:
girl is annoyed, u want to talk to her, u call her but she doesn't wanna talk... but u do! U don't want to annoy her more so u decide not to push it and says nothing but okay i'll call u next time. WRONG MOVE. She will get annoyed more. LOL!
-> why? Does it look like you care? Does it look like you noticed something's bothering her? Does it look like you were even concerned/worried/upset that something's bothering her? Even if you did notice, does it look like you wanted to sort things out? No, no, no and no. Hell no. It doesn't look like you could care any less. It doesn't look like you noticed something's wrong and it doesn't look like you wanted to make things better. No effort whatsoever.
there's a verrrryyyyy thin line between "not wanting to annoy her more, not wanting to make things worse, not wanting to push her too far" and "not exerting enough effort".
scenario 2:
girl is annoyed, u want to talk to her, u call her but she doesnt wanna talk... but u do! You persist... once, twice maybe thrice. If she really doesnt want to talk, then she doesn't. Try again next time. But if deep down she really wanted to talk to you from the start but just wanted to see how much YOU really wanna talk to her, then well and good. Your persistence will pay off. She will talk to you after she saw your EFFORT. Be consistent and persistent but never insistent!
If you push us too much, we get annoyed cuz it's annoying, period. If you didn't push us enough, we get annoyed cuz you're insensitive and you don't care enough about us to exert effort for something you really want... i.e, if you REALLY wanna talk, if you REALLY wanna see us, if you REALLY wanna spend time with us... etc.
figure out the borderline. it varies with different types of girls. don't wait for her to tell you what you need to do, what you should've done etc.
because I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell you what to do and what not to do... I wouldn't tell you what you should've done... hell, figure it out yourself. You have a brain and if you really like someone, if you really like me, you'll take extra time and effort to try and figure her, me, out. If not, then... bye! Want me to show you the door cuz you might need help with that too.
a friend of mine always told me, "something as good as this isn't gonna come easily." is it such a big crime that we want to see you work hard? Nope. Is it a problem that we wanna see how much you really like us?
or maybe a better question I should ask is..........
Is it a problem for you to exert effort if you really like someone?
Is it a problem for you to exert effort if you think she's worth it?
girls can't help but deduce that maybe you don't like us enough and that maybe you think we're not worth it IF you're not exerting enough effort for us.
and while other girls will sit, cry and wallow in their tears, I will go out with my friends and get rid of you. I won't waste any more of my time on you. If you think I'm not worth it, then I'm better off without you.
Few weeks left til...
school's over
- but first... I need to finish my assignments, theory tests and one practical test.
I go back home
- I think I'm staying for 5 weeks at most. I'm not sure... I just can't wait to see my parents and friends again. Not to mention Max Brenner, Cafe Breton('s LaPinay), Pao Tsin, Starbuck's (Toffee Nut Frappe), Wendy's (burgers and chips), Chef D'Angelo's (cheesecake and chicken), Tokyo Tokyo, Zagu...
his birthday
- I'm leaving Adelaide the day before his birthday. Sayang. Masaya na ako sana kaso mami-miss ko naman birthday nung taong yun. =(
my brother's wedding
I don't dye my hair. I'm actually scared that if I do, my hair will get damaged.
So I dunno what came over me yesterday during lunch with Gillian that I suddenly just blurted out "I wanna dye my hair reddish brown".
So off we went to buy hairdye... I chose this really red brown (light mahogany copper brown something crap... I swear the name's that long). It's not THAT obvious but you can still notice I dyed my hair. Gillian did a really nice job cuz my hair wasn't just one color. It was beautifully done cuz some strands are lighter, some strands are darker. It gave it depth as if I have highlights (but I don't). I'm thinking of going lighter. Like really red/brown... but I'm scared of the regrowth. It's yuck!! But we'll see. Maybe in about 2 weeks? --
he jumped, I jumped.
it's just too bad I can't tell anyone from here yet (aside from Gillian, Jasper and Rizzele, who are my best girlfriends here) until I tell my Dad personally. I dunno how to... and I dunno how he's going to react... what he's going to say. He's never met him... but I'm sure he's gonna like him IF he meets him. I dunno how he's gonna feel when he finds out his daughter who is a thousand miles away from him has a boyfriend... scary stuff for a father I know. But he has to trust me.
the soonest we can let people here know about us would be late January. I dunno what their reaction will be since they'd rather I go for Jotham than him... but I wouldn't hesitate to come to his defense. I'd choose him over Jotham any day, any time. I wouldn't hesitate to stand up for Gian. PERIOD. FULL STOP.
