ExErCiSe... Go! Go! Go!

Went with Anis and JJ to eat chicken barbeque in Malate last week... ate 2 cups of rice (ohhh! this one is not good!) met Jojie, Anis and JJ's officemate and his friend, B. they are both Thais. well... they both seem nice… we all had a nice conversation. Couldn't imagine how come they could consume 6 bottles each of San Mig Light in one sitting. Oh… maybe more… because they came ahead of us. I ended up asking Jojie how come he doesn’t own a big tummy, like the other Filipino guyz who love to drink. Then Jojie told me that he does 300 sit ups everyday… that’s like wow! (wondering if I’ll be able to convince myself to do such) the last time when I promised myself that I’ll do sit ups only lasted for few days and I quitted. Ok ok… whatta quitter!!! Since the traditional indo dance class is on a break until the first week of February, I haven’t really done much exercise for the past weeks. Though I went jogging and swimming, gosh... once a week wouldn't be enough to show improvements… so I guess I should do multiple sports. i realize that I’m chubby, if not obese hahaha… Went jogging with Hanna in San Lorenzo yesterday afternoon… I felt good. A group of people in the park caught my attention. It’s some sort of a martial art/ self defense, using bamboo sticks… I decided to approach the master right after I’m done jogging. I introduced myself and said that I’m interested to join the practice. From that short conversation, I found out that the martial art is called “Arnis” originally from the Philippines, then Sisco, the master, introduced me to some of the girls there. Sisco is actually based in Boracay. I’m so eager to learn. So I talked to Sana, one of the gurls, (she's now in her last year highschool in German School), and oh! she'll later on be the instructor. I already got her number… it’s good to know that the practice is informal, it’ll be a good idea to learn something new and at the same time… doing exercise…!!! Oh yeah right… I’ll be hoping they’ll still be around to practice the succeeding Sundays… so I could join. But I won’t forget to do sit ups… at least more than a hundred per day… wait and see for my flat abs if not six packs... next month or 2 months later… hahaha….

I’m starting to have doubts whether this is my online journal or my online photo album? Hehehe… I’m fond of posting pictures… niweyz, This picture was taken last Saturday at the Indonesian Embassy. It was the farewell party of Om Ginting and Tante Rita. Oh yeah… as usual… dinner, listening to people karaoke singing, taking pictures…

Oh… yeah, I’m wearing glasses now… It has been one week already…

Went home with Anis and JJ… minutes later, Bang Esbon, Hanna and Bide intentionally came over to play cards… we played tong its and I turned out to be the loser hahaha… I stood awake until 230 in the morning, gotta sleep early… gotta do some house chores the next morning… aha… weekend… not a rest day for me… but I’m happy this way…

WhaT dO yOu tHiNk?

I don't know what the hell that made us all smile... was it the flash of the camera or something else? hahaha... =p

iT's FuNnY...

Few days ago, right after work, I went to landmark to buy groceries… because my Thai officemates, Mam and Tum would as well be my lunchmates…so no more eating outside, better cook whatever and eat together in the pantry… =) It is funny how I was looking for a lunch box at landmark and ended up buying a neon green colored lunch box… I suddenly remember my kindergarten days… It is funny how I was texting while walking, smiling like crazy… wanna know why? I’m sorry, I won’t tell… It is funny how the taxi driver won’t stop talking while driving me home, noticed my dimples and wanted to introduce me to the son of his former employer. According to the taxi driver, the guy is now a pilot of Philippine Airlines… (wink ;p) It’s funny how I rejected his offer and told him that I already have a boyfriend… It’s funny how I was able to speak straight Tagalog without letting the taxi driver notice that I’m not a Filipina… hahaha….

CaTcHa ArOuNd MaRiA..

Saturday, January 8th- It was a planned surprise farewell party for Maria… Emper, her roommate came with the idea. I was helping her texting all the rest of the Indonesians to be there at Banana Leaf, in Greenbelt. We were like 30… and of course, it was such a surprise for Maria… she ended up crying… And here goes a picture of my friends and I with Cacing beside me and Denny on the other side… yeah… these two giants were stars for a night huehuehue…

The night out wouldn’t be complete without visiting the V Bar… so we ended up staying until 5 in the morning… it’s inline with Maria’s farewell party… =)

Huhuhu… Maria, we’ll miss you… catcha around Maria…

Happy New Year 2005!!!

Sandhi*Anis*Sari*Maria*Wempy Pheeewww... been busy all week long... I really wanted to update this blog... but huh? What can I do? didn't even have enough time to sleep... well... here it goes... I wanna write about the New Year... It was really fun... we spent an overnight at Manila Peninsula hotel... that Saturday (oh yeah! I still had work on the 31st, whatta day!!!) I went home 1st to grab my things and went directly to the hotel. It was a fun evening... I went swimming along w/ some of the guyz until 10 in the evening... the water wasn't that cold... warm enough to keep me swimming for few minutes... hehehe... took a bath and proceed with the rest of the gang members to the Indonesian Embassy and had dinner there... cool... dinner for free... it was 10 minutes before the countdown when we left the embassy... I had to speed my walk to get to Ayala to see the fireworks (oh yeah... that's what new year is about). We were all scattered, until finally we united... oh forgot to mention, I had my picture taken with the vocalist of Parokya Ni Edgar and Kitchie Nadal... woohoo... I enjoyed their show! next is trip to V Bar! This was the coolest part! I think all of us had a great time there getting wet and dirty... haha!!! no, just kidding... but I'm sure we were all tipsy. Went back to the hotel 5 in the morning... and I was walking barefooted (nasty!) khekhekhe... I was too tired wearing my heels... I know it was stupid hahaha! As soon as we arrived in the room... we could hardly sleep... we were still in the mood to jig (hehe) nah.. we just had few more drinks and went to bed... I don't know how come I was the earliest to wake up! I just slept for 2 hours and had a full energy to ask Maria to go swimming... I realized that I lost my voice... huh? What happened??? I was even trying to wake everybody up and asked 'em to swim... but guess they were still in their dreamland. Hmm... never mind them huehuehue... I was so tired yet so energetic... (say what??? =p) there... it's the end of the day... ate at North Park in Greenbelt and went home directly... and oh! then went straight to bed... zzz...zzz... Happy New Year 2005!

wHeN I sAw YoU...

And Oh… one more from Mariah Carey… here is another song lyrics… so so… sweet… wHeN I sAw YoU... Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me Transcending space and time And I was rendered still There were no words for me to find at all As I stood there beside myself I could see you and no-one else When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe I fell so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be I'd never be the same Only once in a lifetime love rushes in Changing you with the tide And dawn's ribbon of light Bursts through the dark Wakening you inside And I thought it was all untrue Until there, all at once, I knew With no beginning And without an end You are the one for me And it's evident And your eyes told me so Your eyes let me know

MoSt GiRLs...

Tah dah!!! Here goes the song lyrics of Pink… I love her too… and I love this lyrics… I can relate… this is so Me… read the lyrics closely… oh by the way… what is happening to me? I’m posting song lyrics lately… (???) MoSt GiRLs... (Actually i prefered the title to be "I'm not every girl") I never cared too much for love It was all a bunch of mush That I just did not want Paid was the issue of the day If my girlfriends got some game Couldn't be more fly Getting paid was everything But I'm not every girl And I don't need that world to validate me Cause shorty got a job Shorty got a car And shorty can pay her own rent Don't wanna dance if it's not in my heart Most girls want a man with the bling-bling Got my own thing, got the ching-ching I just want real love Most girls want a man with the mean green Don't wanna dance if he can't be Everything that I dream of A man that understands real love I was a girl about the floss It was all about the cost How much he spent on me? Seek for a man who gots the means To be giving you diamond rings It's what every fly girl Could want or even dream But I'm not every girl And I don't need no g to take care of me Cause shorty got a job Shorty got a car And shorty can pay her own rent Don't wanna dance if it's not in my heart, no no I, I just want real love Said I gotta have real love Everything can, can you be everything that I dream of... Gosh! why did i have to highlight some lines... Please dech sar! =p

wHeNEvEr YoU cALL

I really love this song lyrics... no significant meaning behind it, really... (really??? =p) Mariah's songs are like food to my soul... it has the power to cure heartaches at the same time... (yes! it could be a therapy for heartaches as well, at least for me... it works! hahaha...) did i sound that desperate? btw, it feels good when we can emotionally relate to song lyrics... well... basically, i just love Mariah Carey's songs... but this one is just too sweet...

wHeNEvEr YoU cALL

Love wandered inside
Stronger than you, stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back, we can only turn into one

I won't ever be too
Far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call

And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul there in your arms
And you have opened my heart
And lifted me inside by showing me yourself
undisguised

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I have inside
