dressing up.

i've ranted about kalai week's paint it red, but the best of the week was yet to come: friday's wacky day and saturday's open house. for wacky day, i donned the yukata set that my host mom in japan bought me for my birthday. it was an uber fun day, and the best moment para umaura. woot! and then at open house, i completely lost all sense of shame when i sang yet again in front of a crowd while paos - being part of a choir was tolerable, but singing for kalai tunes? haha. ang kapal na ata talaga ng mukha ko.

for the following week, my corridor had our corridor exhibit. basically, we were all (supposedly) dressed as toys, and had the chance to get introduced one by one. loved the name of our endeavor, plus the tagline: ToyS R uS, we're out of the box. the mini "after party" was fun as well. happy belated bday, aubs and marielle!

lastly, just last night, i had another make-up session with mei (the girl next door who is so kind to do my make-up whenever there's an event). i also bothered a lot of people in search of an acceptable party outfit at the last minute. thanks so much to up tsrs and mara, for bearing with my fashion dilemma. funny 'coz when i arrived there at adhoc, my attire was totally out of my concern agad. i had so much fun smiling (haha), drinking and dancing. am so glad diosa tagged along! wee.

anyway, since i'm in no mood to feed you with all the fun details, just check out the pics of these events at my multiply. you know you wanna click that link. go on! :)

argh, bear with me. there's something bothering me right now and i just need to let this out.

i remember being infatuated (or probably obsessed) with a certain someone in high school. it didn't matter to me that i was the female between us two. i made efforts to be close to him, did him a lot of favor, and probably had "i like you" written all over my face whenever i talked to him.

i always wondered why he purposely ignored me, or why he can't be even a tad nice. but now i know.

heck, i completely freaked him out! imagine having someone you hardly know suddenly popping out of nowhere and sending you signals regarding her feelings every second of the day. no wonder the guy stayed away from me. it must have seemed like i would grab him given the smallest opportunity.

funny 'coz i always knew that that was the scenario, but i never believed it. maybe i didn't want to think that my showing affection to him would be taken negatively, as what actually happened.

now you ask, what am i trying to get at? i told you, there's just something that's bothering me right now. or erase that. there's actually someone. i dunno what to do, but for the meantime i'm steering away.

argh. 'nuff said. God bless you guys.

counting. my bente.

whoohoo! 11 days since my last post. not bad eh. and i have tons to write about. let's start counting. from the oldest, to the latest:

twenty. after much late night to overnight practices, no-chocolate-and-less-frap days, and cheering the kalai basketball and volleyball teams with mere lip screams, i survived the four consecutive nights of song rehearsals and performance for the kalai christmas production as a member of himig kalai.

nineteen. a day after ken fabay's 18th bday, it was our first time to have coffee with him, plus get a honeyglazed doughnut treat for me and besty bea.

eighteen. my whole body was sore after putting on my super "career mode" during the funny bones game with dianne enriquez at the jma apps acquaintance party, in exchange for a david&goliath stack of sticky notes.

seventeen. the UP student regent elections called for an earlier up lalong laan general assembly, in preparation for the chirstmas party and the other activities for this sem.

sixteen. a stupid error put me on the verge of falling 0.25 lower than my math 100 departmental exam grade. whew.

fifteen. we were two hours late and without a ride home, but we had a lot of fun during earaluz cubacub's debut, which incuded a self-conducted pseudo prom pictorial.

fourteen. got wet after foolishly pouring water on myself during one of the games at jma's kids christmas party.

thirteen. finally saw my sister's room during jen's open house, and envies the built in comfort room in their room. haha.

twelve. fitted a dozen of blouses at rob, before finally settling for a blue collared crissa top.

eleven. went back to the dorm late at night for the kalai christmas party, and secretly hoped someone would bid to have me as a date.

"parang... you look good tonight."

ten. went back to diliman on sunday for the up tsrs christmas party, and received a HUGE gift!

nine. showed my love to my closest friends by giving them useless little bears, and was glad they appreciated their cuteness.

eight. did a very careless mistake, and hurt an important person.

seven. went to school from tanay, was thirty minutes late to philo11, and was lucky that my prof arrived even later.

six. "career mode" again, this time for a cheer for our jma guardian melo during the jma christmas party.

five. stayed overnight at regina balajadia's auntie's house in cainta, right near the mall.

four. had to fetch merryn louise ang at junction and keep her company in diliman, but i am so not complaining because i missed her a lot and we had so much fun.

three. did epal at the psychology department's christmas party, seached for a certain person (ehem.), and so loved the chocolate fountain!

two. my phone's memory reached its limit after i took tons of pictures during the up lantern parade.

one. my achievement: cleaning my dorm room for only an hour for the general inspection.

woohoo! now that's a quick recap of all that's happened. as much as i would like to write pages and pages of narration for each one, i'm just too lazy to do so.

anyway, God bless! have a splendid christmas! peace. God bless!
