i had 2 dates last night. (naks! haha!) i was waiting til the clock strikes 9, eventually i was waiting for 10pm. leia ksi.... (yes, i understand... d ako galit.) we were set to go to ate gina's party.... at timog. di pwedeng hinde pumunta. so i waited....

its friday, so peeps were goin home early... by 7. half of them are already gone... i already had nothing to do. so, what now? i still have 2hrs to spare... huhu..... played games, watch episodes.... then it was 8.. oh no... uuwi na sila lht.. anong ggwin ko?!! =((

buti na lng... i had these guys.. tara kain tyo! cge na.... please. =) so we did. had to make some stop-overs and then off to shang.... hmmm.. san kya? sabi nung isa, sa taas... o wow! sa green tomato! cge... game! hehe.. so far at that time, i was enjoying their company.... (kakaiba tong 2 na to!)

and so we dine... isang pizza at ang all-time-fave: five fingers! at apple juice. ng-water ung isa. anong mga pinagusapan nmin? madami... they were talking about girls... ako tawa lng.. at rimarim.. haha! then highshool lyf.. then parent's ages.... then age gap ng mga couple.. haha... tpos gulay.... walang sense... ngkagulo kmi sa bill kc pare-parehas kming magaling sa pgkwenta... di na kmi ngbigay ng tip. huwaw! its past 9 at wala pa tong iniintay ko...

so, we walked... until nakarating kmi sa kidz station. yey! toys! natuwa ako sa mga cars... at sa mga transformers.... hehe.. cool. they are on sale, so bili ung 2.. at parehas pa a... although di ko type ung binili nila, gusto nman nila un e... masaya sila sa toys nila.

and then where to? leia asan ka na?!! haaay... sana nanood na lng kmi sine... =(( (wala akong napanood na sine this week kht may papanoorin. ang lungkot.)

10 na at wala pa rin... kailangan na umuwi nung isa kc lst trip na ng MRT. naiwan pa kmi nung isa sa station pra mgintay pa rin... ngkwentuhan na lng kmi ng kung anu-ano.... nahihiya na ko ng sobra..... i was telling them to go home.... pro mabait pla sila kht konti.. hehee....

leia and i made it at the rolling stone. kht patay na ko sa bahay... we partied pa rin... pro pagod na tlga ko.... i didn't get to finish my beer.. finished a few songs... (kaya ko nman kumanta!) di na nkbilyar... cge lng.... mg-alas-dos na nung nkauwi... eto antok. cge later.... Ü

dedications

do you know that Kris Aquino is now a platinum artist? well, hinde sya personally... pro d b ksi may album compilation sya, an album dedicated to her lyf and the persons around her... so she made her narrations on every song. that made the audience cry.. aaaawwww.... Anyways, ang galing noh?! akalain mo.....
-- album title: Loving You

This reminded me of the album i compiled before.... flashback tyo... for multimedia class. we were asked to design our own cd. make the covers and all.... so i did... of course, like every cd --- may dedication, so i had to figure that out.... took awhile for me to decide what theme would i take... pro aun, kakesohan ang nanalo... hahaha! (let's say un ang uso nun! wink* wink*) i gave the cd to a guy, we exchanged (weeeeh! blush! blush!).... mga gusto ko sabihin, mga kanta ng buhay, ngkataong kinanta nmin, sinayaw nya, sinayaw ko, etc.... prang soundtrack... ung tiempo na music nung nangyayari ung isang event.... hahaha... (grabe.. natandaan ko un?! wahaha...) nweiz, i hope he liked it... kung nilagyan ko kaya ng narrations.. maging nkkiyak rin kaya? hehhee.. well, di nman ako si Kris Aquino. =D
-- album title: Been There, Done That...

one guy secretly named his cd for me... aawww... nk-alias pra hinde halata.. until i figure it out... haha!! thanks syo....
-- album title: 339

nagustuhan ko din ung tagalog theme song ng My Girl, ni julian at ni jasmin.. haha! dedicated to a friend na kagalit ko.... well, i think galit sya skn... ang init ng ulo nya skn e.... hinde ko mafigure out kung bakit pati damit ko pinag-iinitan nya... well, ganun nman kmi... away-bati.
