the new american idol

i knew carrie underwood would be this year's American Idol. she has been my favorite since the final 12 have been chosen. yipee!! i made a bet with gino and i won! i like bo bice too, but carrie is just my favorite. she's very beautiful and she reminds me of reese witherspoon, one of my favorite actresses.. a.i.'s best finale ever. i woke up at 8am just to catch it live in star world. haay. obsessed.

classes will start on june 15th. i am so not looking forward to school. hate waking up early and going home tired. hate sleeping for at most 7 hours! hate staying up late just to study. but love being not fat because of the pressures of school.

summer's almost over and i haven't even mastered my driving. i'm supposed to be driving myself to school and back starting 2nd sem. i know it's still the start of the new school year, but how do i learn how to really drive between now until october or december? no idea. :(

may the force be with you

i am so freaking pissed.

i had like a really long post yesterday. when i pressed submit post, tada, it was gone. when i checked my blog, it wasn't even published.what's wrong with blogger? oh well. anger will only make me look older, so i'd make a new post instead.

last sunday, was family day. we heard mass at 10.30 and it was sooooooo hot! it's so hard being in the phils. i have never experienceda summer this hot. moving on, after we heard mass, we went to shang, and ate at cibo, then watched the last installation of star wars, the revenge of the sith, and can i just share, i think hayden christensen is to-die-for. he is such a versatile actor. i didn't think he'd pull it off - what i mean is his character being a meanie. biased i know, i saw him in one of his older films where he played a rebellious son, and well, he pulled it off, prolly because he dyed his hair jet black and he had these piercings andtattooes, but with star wars, the make-up did wonders for him. he doesn't look good when he scowls though. either way, he is totally gorgeous. :)i have never been a fan of star wars, but i liked the film, anyway. i was kinda bored at the beginning, but the movie's not at all draggy, compared to episodes 1 & 2.

i was with kaye yesterday. BONDING TIME. i missed being with her noh. this is the first summer where we don't see each other at least twice a week.i had a great time. we went to the country club and catched up on a lot of things. after all, i haven't seen her since feb 26 - my debut. :( margaux adores kaye! kakatuwa sobra.

i have lost 5 lbs. i think i mentioned in my previous post that while i was in hk, i gained 5 lbs. well, i lost what i gained and i am hoping that i continuelosing weight. i've only gone to the gym once but am persistent. SELF-CONTROL is the key. i lessened the food that i ate. if i eat heavy merienda, i don't have dinner anymore. when it's not raining, i go walking/jogging around the subdivision. when it's raining or i don't have anyone else to walk with,i exercise in my room. 50 rounds in my room, 80 crunches, 35 of the hard thing we do in pe (yes, i don't know what it's called, if any of my pe-mates are reading this, we only did it once - i'm so stupid ahahaha) i hope i continue losing weight. :)

i'm going to have a car for 3 days. fri-sun. too bad i won't be able to use it on friday coz i'm going to divisoria with my mom naman. you see, i haveto practice driving. or else i won't get a license. my parents keep nagging me about it na. nobody wants to ride when i'm riding kasi feeling nila mamamatayna sila. i'm not that bad a driver naman eh. I CAN DO THIS. until now i can't imagine myself driving outside the subdivision. ooh i'm such a scaredy-cat.i'm so used with having someone drive for me that i don't want to drive. but on the flip side, when i drive my own car, i can leave school whenever i want to, i can go out without waiting for the driver. hay. aja. :)

i miss my friends. trisha! wag ka nga batugan, i need you! labas na tayo! jia..kaya mo yan.. aiza, ria and nina! miss you girls! mwah mwah! love you!gino, wag na magselos kay hayden christensen at kay carlo aquino. kay andy roddick ka lang dapat magselos :)

i'll be posting some pictures :)

5 lbs heavier - that's me!

i haven't posted in a long time, and i've been quite busy, actually.

07 May 2005
Jia's debut (luau)
Jia looked ravishing. it was really her day :) of course, the entire barx was complete (yey!)
i was soo soo happy to see my friends.. after 2 weeks (i think). trisha might be leaving for canada soon =( makes me really really sad.. makes us all really really sad. i hope next year nalang sila umalis. hahaha selfish!

jia looked pretty in her green and pink dress.. so did ria, trish, nina, and aiza! they were so beautiful. they are beautiful. i'm so lucky. to have friends like them.. :) anyway, about the party,, aiza and gino had this song number - which we all loved! aiza sang true colors, (gino on guitars). ay angaling sobra!!! i knew way back in grade school that aiza was a good singer, but every time i hear her sing, i forget that she's the same aiza i know! it's as if i don't know her! she's that amazing. haaaaay.. aiza and jia also did 2 songs together - get me and cool with you. jia's a really good singer, and that's what most of my batchmates don't know about her. she's too shy to sing kasi eh.

jia's ex is so mean. i feel so bad for jia. i almost cried while watching them dance (part of the 18 roses) because the ex wasn't talking to jia. i don't wanna talk about it anymore because it's too personal. it's between them and i, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't interfere.

i left for HK the very next day. our flight was delayed, the plane was supposed to leave at 14.40 but we left at 16.00. badtrip coz we weren't able to shop that night, haha but we had 4 more days to shop eh.

i didn't do anything but eat, shop and walk. i was always too tired to walk, and my back always hurt. hay. but i loved my stay there. my family and i are so bonded. even if our US trip was cancelled, just being with them is more than enough. :) hay nako, sarap ng food sobra! i gained about 5-8 lbs. 5 days of being away and i gained that much! sht, baboy na ko!!! ate mae told me this afternoon na, "baboy ka na!" i told her, at least i have a boyfriend! hahaha when my mom got here, she told me that i should lose weight,and that i shouldn't be content with my weight just coz i have a boyfriend who loves and adores me. *wink!* bakit, it's true naman eh! he loves and adores me. but yeah, i do have to lose weight.

we, obviously, got home last night. got home at around 12mn. i missed my house! i missed my bed! i missed margaux!!! i missed gino den, shempre. :)

i love HK. it's one of my favorite places in the world! amazing food, shopping places, clean cities, nice subway, everything's just wonderful. what's amazing pa is that they have this airport express where you can ride the train from the airport mismo, then will transport you to either kowloon, hong kong, or tsing yi station. then you'll ride a bus that'll bring you straight to your hotel. all for 23 minutes or so. and for a reasonable price. angaling. every time i'm in HK, i get sad because i want our country to be like theirs, clean, highly industrial, low crime rate, high tech, and more. also because all the yayas or helpers they have are filipinos. so sad. here we are, shopping till mawalan kami ng money (ahahaha) then the people who attend to us at shops, when they get home, who serves them? filipinos. the irony of things talaga. really sad. :( pero there's nothing wrong with being a DH. i think it's a really noble job. leaving your famiy for a better future. wow. *sniff*

i'm leaving for zambales tomorrow. hay. la manlang pahinga. 1 day lang to rest.

have a happy summer everyone!

happy birthday, jia! =)

happy birthday Jia Janelle Castaneda :) It's because of this girl that my family's trip to hk was moved to sun-thurs.. see how much i love this girl.. i'm just sad that her ex didn't value her the way she should be. she's my gem. our barkada's gem. haay. i hope she finds someone who'd love and treasure her and treat her like a princess..

had my physical exam last tuesday. it was really awkard seeing my classmates. but there. i went with my mom then the doctor who checked me told me i might have UTI or something so i had to repeat the urinalysis thing. turns out my urine sample was contaminated the first time coz i used gloves, because yesterday, when i did the routine again, my pus cells were low (0-2). i had to repeat the chest x-ray yesterday den. i'm nervous nga right now coz i don't know why i had to repeat the whole thing again. :( i hope i'm not terribly sick..

trish is gonna be here tomorrow! girl bonding for a few hours before jia's debut.. after 2 weeks of not seeing each other, we'd have the whole day together.. :) will be seeing my girls too.. miss you guys!

enjoy your summer vacation while it lasts! before you know it, june na.. =)
