My first '30 days'

It's pretty simple, for the first time in my life, I actually celebrated a legitimate monthsary. Hahahaha. Grabe, "legitimate" made me laugh.

You might think I sound pathetic but it's true. So true that I had even become notorious to some friends for not having real and serious relationships. (Kung hindi palpak, naglalaro. Samakatuwid, lahat nagkakandaloko-loko.)


Yesterday, it came true. It's not fairy tale-ish or anything but it was real. Finally, there was someone I could grasp tight into minus the fear of being left behind. FINALLY! (Dear Papa God, thank you again and again! He was worth the wait and all the pain from the past.) 


The celebration was short and practical but it doesn't matter. What mattered was the fact that I have him. Someone who puts up with my unpredictable work schedule and waits for me for two hours, someone who hears my obnoxious laughter over Puss in Boots, someone who knows my big appetite, someone who lets me flash a dirty finger over the Breaking Dawn tarpaulin, and someone who just recently told me, "You are special."


Wow. Did you know that I always dreamed of hearing those words. In the past, I had worked so hard just to feel that way. And he said it just like that. It was so much natural and effortless--on both parts. Could I get more happier? 


Nobody told me love could be THIS good.

Some would butt in and say we're only just beginning. Yes, who says we're not? But that's exactly the point, if we are RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, then let us be. Take in every minute and savor every moment! :D


Hayaan nyo na kami sa aming pa-cute moments. ;)

On a different note, aside from our first month celebration, I would like to share my foodtrip on the same day. 


In the morning, Tinolang Manok for brunch; in the afternoon, the very yummy gyoza and sushi of East Cafe located in Rustan's Makati; in the late afternoon, spaghetti and macaroni salad from a birthday celebrant at The Manila Times office, also Butter Finger from Hepe; in the evening, Greenwhich dinner of lasagna and pizza with JC; and in the midnight, snack of McDo fries and monster float still with mahal. 


Busog na ang puso, busog pa ang sikmura! :D

You're 'Not Like Us'

Ang laki ng tuwa ko noong inabot ng kasamahang kong dyarista yong VIP pass ng Cinema One film festival. 

Ang ibig sabihin noon ay mapapanood ko ng libre ang Di Ingon Nato (Not Like Us) entry na pinaglalahukan ng idolo kong si Franco Reyes. Bokalista sya ng malupit na Franco band. Sya iyong asteeg mag-adlib habang sinasabi ang "One Love, Jah Love." 

Sa makatuwid, ang dahilan lamang kung bakit nais kong panoorin ang pelikula ay siya, si Franco. Obsessed fan girl ako. 

Excited ako nung tinext ko si Julie Pearl at sinabing masasamahan ko syang manood ng Di Ingon Nato! Ang kaibigan kong obsessed fan girl din, kahit hindi nya aminin. Yabang ko pa nung tinext ko, "May pass ako!"

Fast forward, nakarating ako ng maaga-aga sa Shang Cineplex kung saan lahat ng kalahok na pelikula sa Cinema One ay pinapalabas. 

Pila ako sa bilihan ng tiket. Julie asan ka na ba, dumating ka na, alas-sais magsisimula ang pelikula, 5:55 na! Lingon sa likod, baka andyan ka na... 

May nahaging yong mata ko, "bearded" man. BEARDED MAN! T*ngna, si FRANCO! Akalain mong napamura ako sa pila? Tawag kay Julie, "Dalian mo, Franco is here." 

(What happened to Julie upon hearing that? She braved the storm and forgot her headache.)

At ito na, kukunin ko na yong tiket ko at bibilhan naman si Julie, "Uhm, Miss (to the girl at the counter), I have this VIP pass..." Nasa kalagitnaan pa ako ng maarte kong speech ng ako'y tanungin: "Anong pelikula po?"


"Di Ingon Nato.."


Biglang, "Ma'am sold out na po. Kahit may VIP pass po kayo, hindi na rin namin kayo mabibigyan ng ticket." 

F*CK! Texted Julie, sagot nya: "F*CK SERYOSO?"

Olats, may VIP pass, walang tiket! Pero ano ngayon, habang hinihintay si Huli este Julie, ayon si Franco, kasama si GABBY ALIPE NG FRANCO AT NG URBANDUB, palakad-lakad sa harap ko. Sarap diba. 'Yong kahit ipikit ko ang mga mata ko, dama ko 'yong HOT na presensya ng idolo ko!

'Yong minumura kong ng "Gago" si Julie sa telepono, pagtingala ko naglakad si Franco sa harap ko. Dyahe di ba?! Naalala nya kayang ako 'yong fan girl na nagpakilala na sa kanya kamakailan? 


Haaay! Pumasok na sila ng sine at nanood ng Di Ingon Nato. 

Si Julie dumating. Hindi pa tapos ang fan girl moment namin! Lapit sa empleyado ng sinehan, "Uhm Sir, I have this VIP pass but the tickets were sold out already. I'm from the media and I really need to watch the film and its the last screening. But will you let us in so we can watch from the alley, standing." 

Sayang, eepekto na sana yong arte, drama at ganda ko kay kuya nang biglang nasilayan nya yong manager ng sine. "Ma'am, 'No standing rule' po kasi at baka mahuli kami."

Matapos kong magmakaawa wala pa rin kaming napala. 

Sayang surreal na sana, tipong out of this body experience, na mapanood ang pelikula kasama sa iisang sinehan ang bida na patay na patay ka! 

Kaso ang katotohanan, ang buhay ay sadyang malupit. Sabi nga nila, "So near and yet so far."

Crimes

It's such a crime that I'm not able to write here. Oh no, no, noooo! :( That I'm making my beautiful blog stagnant and outdated and neglected. Oh my, I feel so useless. I hate it! Argh!

It's a bad thing that I seem to take a downtime in writing. Writing anything with enough sensibility that is. 

It's so lame that I'm so slow in writing my articles for our newspaper. I actually have a growing list of unwritten, supposed to be written stories. 

It's such a shame that I don't seem to have opinion on current events anymore and therefore not write about any of it. I admit that I'm working for a newspaper but I'm less knowledgeable in issues and problems there are. (Wala na yong maangas kong pananaw sa buhay. Nyeta. Puro yong maangas na mura na lang natira. Kabanas.) It feels like I'm always so away and out there. >.<

It's very pathetic that I actually forgot that I keep a journal. That before I sleep, I used to recall the good or bad things and the ordinary or special events that take place in my life. 

And lastly, it's totally wrong to blame all this "state of stupor" to some guy I love. You know, it's me that's lacking a little push--no make that a BIG push. What has happened to me? I should not forget that I ALSO LOVE WRITING. That I need to manage myself and be more responsible. 

It's not really impossible to do everything that I ought to do. (And actually write everything and anything again!) If I can't do it all at the same time then I'll do it little by little and step by step. Just add a lot of perseverance and diligence of course! From this blog on--Bawal ng tamarin!

P.S. Blog first, and then journal update! :D
