ahoy!

 

sighs. i miss my boy.

 

spite.

i know i resolved to be nice always. pero if may koreanang panget na intrimitida na feel na feel ang pagkatao nya; i will truly barang her. sobrang hateness ko when people thunk we don't know anything- like helluh, dyo know everything din?

may kinilaw bah kayo? wuz.

may ihaw ihaw ba kayo? wuz.

and shempre, if kilala ko nga kung ano ang licorice sticks, ila-ilahon sad daw nako ang gummy bears and everything like dut noh.

--

am pmsing. pero, i'll miss this place kahet pano. i learned that it's nice to see places just so you'd have an idea of wut the people are like. but, don't leave your country and live in someplace for a looong time cuz you'll end up being spiteful of their ppl. kasoooooooo---> this is only applicable to moi. and moi alone. ;p

--

okay. 2 mistakes ako sa quiz. yehey. ang galing ni Lord. gibuhat ko nya almost bright. or bright. hahahaha. ;p

--

graduation tomorrow. ;p

yeah! my nails are pink. ;p

joke joke wag kang magagalit




kahapon si josh nagbinatos. so unbecoming of a lady. hahahaha.

not too shabby

the hotel's internet connection is such a slowpoke. iritasyones.

-->happy 7th month to you who is the world to moi. i hope you remembered.

-->i somehow feel like i will miss the place when we will leave in a week's time.it may not be the most livable place for me cuz i get tired of speaking english with a nasal twang so that people can understand me and am kinda tired of not being able to go out in summery clothes and flipflops.
but, i'll miss the weather. and the work place cuz the sodas and welch's juices are free. ;p
and i am a bit comfy with the people around me and am somehow nicer cuz i keep saying gmorning, hello, thank you to everyone. haha.


-->well, today i woke up and resolved to be nicer. but, i am not sure if i can keep being it.
bombed the test again. wtf. it's a 40 item quiz, all airport codes u.s. domestic and international routes.haaaaaaaaaaaaaayers.

oh last night we had dinner at the boys' and canyon came by; so being the filipino dut we are we made dinner big time or semi big time. and i got beer. i was miserable for flunking the quiz yesterday too.and some things are just baaaaaaaaaad yesterday. or at times the weather gets and eats me.
i had beer. :p hahaha. it's nice to be palahubog at times. ;p
-->tiny digression: at work yesterday, one girl from the previous class told me she thought i looked cute in my clothes.hahaha. nalipay ang insik. ;p

--> then after dinner when our guest went home after teaching him stuff like bastos/kili2/& all the bastos words anyone can think of and oishi and high fives with oishi and mikmak, the rest of us stayed up for corny jokes.and today, we brought our corny jokes at work.

these i liked best from josh:if a fish bumped into a walll wut will it say? DAMN.mine wuz: what does tenacious mean?leche, ang corny namin. but, i guess that was the most fun without ever spending anything.

i woke up and made our lunch. hahaha. marunong nako maglugto mga gheng. ;p

we had this SME training for hawaii. i got a shirt with hawaii print on it. XL. hay.and as usual, macadamia nuts and choclits.

i told our guest trainer that i had been in hawaii; only to be stucked at the airport. twenks.

-->more of today:josh bought us pizza for dinner/ we took danielle to her church after class/ and i actually dyed my hair auburn. yey! and i love the shade of my nail polish now, altho it chips.
there's 1 million things i have to learn today/tonight so that i can be okay in class. dear Lord. help.
we will be seattle for the weekend! and graduation's on friday. my grad gown's small. see, i have a gown size, so i badly needed to graduatefrom class.


dear Jesus,thank You for all that You've given me, all that You've taken away from me, and all that You've left me.amen.
prayer from st. thomas.

old navy

a&f




cannot pass up the chance to take pictures. sunday still.

babies r us




we walked towards babies r us cuz it's like a block away from the hotel. am happier to see the sun. the suicide rate in this city is high because of the depressing weather. tinood, the sun can make one cheerful and alive. but, i were freezing the whole time. 27jan08

conversation hearts




the bati'g lasa candies given by the hawaii vendors. but, they're pretty.

sobrang sakit ng ulo ko last night. and sobrang gising ako ng gising. at times there's fear that makes you sick in the stomach. hayers. the only thing i'd remember now is that.. HE WHO IS IN ME IS GREATER THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD.

will write about it when i go home or when am not in this hotel. grovers ka-terribleh.

shoppingera.com.ph

babies r us today. i wonder why i'm so emotera when i was there today. but, i guess being a parent is one huuuuuuge thing.

then to tacoma mall. old navy// abercrombie and fitch- me loves it very mutz//and bath and body works//

and i'm like almost a hundred dollars kinda broke now. sheepish grin ***

i badly wanted to go home na and see my sisters. sighers.

awwwwwwwwwww gawd

the guys bought more beer and got a real bottle of smirnoff ice cuz they did not find tequilla. dratsssssssssssssssss. i've never been as wasted. iloveit.

post beer pre tequila thoughts

it's sunday, 1:26 am in tacoma. and i pondered that maybe that's why i hated travelling or am not fond of going away from home not because i am tired of packing, or scared of the travel expenses but, because of the long hours of travel.. who knew that going to united states would take me 2 days or something dut felt like two days and the dates would not change?

plus my bad bladder is a bone to pick on, the loo is my best friend and i had to find one on every terminal stops or onboard.

i loathe it.

anyway, there are just days when i see how pretty other places are. and how nice it is when you are actually in a place when you can see the air you breathe. alam nyo yung ganung feeling?

well, a bottle of tequila to go. i wanted to go clubbing talaga. but, will postpone it til i go home. i will ask gelo to go out with me. :) and i want a pekpek shorts for valentine's too. or a baby boy. hahaha.

i miss my boy. :(

a thing of beauty is a joy forever

coach. kainesh. over pricing galores.

i heart weekends.


22 jan

photos from last, last weekends/ credits: dodie

just alive.

we drove to tops center where target/tj maxx are. though they may seem to sell cheap stuff, i think ross is cheaper. anyway, i finished shopping for gifts already. my luggage will honestly have excesses and it's depressing to think about it.

oh well, two more weeks to go. i wanna see gelo na. hahaha. gisaway ko to not go clubbing. so, maybe i'll just see seattle.

another teriyaki dinner. i wish we had those quaint chinese places in PI.

woke up late today because of last night's game. this weekend would be our second to the last here and we're headed home. it's bittersweet. but, i wanted to go home.

last night, after class the client took us to seattle to see the basketball game. we had dinner at the food court near key arena where the game is. i got me subway 6" sandwich- again, when there's soooo many choices choose chicken and tomatoes and mustard and the regular cheese. you won't go wrong and just say thank you..haha..

i love the little boys of the clients i mean, the grown ups were talking about other grown up things then i joined the boys and they were talking about video games, pokemon, wii, neopets, paying school time back during summer because of snow days. maybe gelo's right about me being a 5 year old in i.q. and e.q. or maybe, just maybe, one day i'll make a great mum. :)

and they were totally ignoring one gal who was talking to them but, would only talk to me. hahaha. my heart fluttered. those boys. :)

and then i found out one of them, named ryan will turn 9 on march 2- dr. seuss' birthday, then chera's son aries will turn 9 three days after and i will turn a year older on the 12th. hahaha. sooo there are 3 pisces on the table talking about school and vid games. :)

and we headed to two candy store. seattle fudge sells humungouos fudge that we ended up to another candy store with tubes of candies on the wall, i did not exactly like their candies cuz i'm a bit grown up already(twenks) and got me peppermint(pink) and mintchoclit(green) icecream from dreyers. layshohan!

then we walked to the arena and my ice cream's not allowed inside. so i had to eat it outside in a 33degree F weather. grovers.

okay, it's not lakers against sonics cuz i realised howwwwwwww high school the sonics played and i could not see their jersey numbers sooo i could not identify the only person i know. kevin durant. i hate my eyes. so i had to name them names of pba ball playahs. haha. that was sooo much fun. and i'd scream like am their manager ala janice dickenson mode-love her. so i was exhausted when we got home.

inside the arena, i enjoyed people watching more than i enjoyed seeing the sonics lose. kainesh. and i felt like being an in airport. it's my first time to see so many people in the united states. cuz in tacoma, it's never crowded. inside the arena, it's like losing a flight connection.

i heart seattle. it's like cebu. or the business and it parks of cebu. am musing, that if we were there for training it would've been easy to go around and go clubbing. aaaaaaaaaaaw gawd, i wanna go clubbing sooooo badly. but, i don't think we'll ever go to downtown tacoma.

anyway, i realised how i adored children. one day when i am a ma. i know i'll be a goddess ma. hahahaha. ang confidence ni inday. :)

i got 90% in the 3rd long test. it's not bad. cuz i've been getting 90++ the whole time for long tests.. that makes me happier, if not happiest.

i miss my sisters. i wanna go to cebu. or take them someplace special. sana when i am wealthier.

sobrang sad for heath ledger. wala lang i never saw any of his movie. kaso it's sad that a person with a promising life dies young. it's just goes to show that every young person should realise how blessed a life they lead when they are young cuz they can and really wind up great one day. altho there will be crappy days and now i sound preachy.

headin' to babies r us later cuz wlang kwentang ninang na akow.

tacoma


ross

i cannot sleep. anyway, these are the photos inside our hotel room and at ross last weekend.
and since kyepoi mag open another blog post am gonna blog here..
j and i dropped by tacoma mall today after class cuz i'm not in the mood to study yet, but i will study laterzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. anyway, nagmateryoso na naman kow. with just a 20usd budget, i wuz thinking i might just buy tank tops from old navy for the younger sister but, i wound up buying 2 jeans, 5 tank tops, a shirt for gelo, a pink shirt for moi, and went over the budget. then again. le sigh. old navy though soooo warehouse talaga the store is lurve..
wala na. starvation army na ako the next 2 weeks.

na antig ang world

pasado ang koreana sa quiz tah day. two mistakes lang. happy happy joy joy.

i've another test tomorrow tho. second to the last nalang. parang masters degree for exfuja na ititch cuz am redoing the whole thang. ayawkownah. am excited to be certified next month and become an official trainer. am honestly hoping i'd do well and excel and not be mediocre cuz now i am being annoyingly mediocre and passive. siguro it comes with the weather. sa PI, tanginang magtatrayola harder akow. God is always great cuz even if things are mejo shakey for me with work and the account and being here, He had been constant and kept me safe. wukits. :) so i guess we all must trust Him that He can eventually get you the correct pair of shoes that'll fit you well. cuz maybe now, He did or is finding me a nice fit. :)

fn: i wanna leave on a jet plane na. promise. am somehow miserable na namens. but, sige lang ng sige mownah. i wanna go to thailand. mga friends. may libre mo na tickets for me and gelo?

here now.

the hawaii hotel vendors came in today. so hakot galores namens ang koreana ng choclits and candies. i got a box of choclit macadamia and this conversation hearts candies with prints on them- dili lami though.

and i honestly have to get glasses. spectacles-charmus fancy name. :) cuz i've been straining my eyes to see wut's written/projected on the board. guba na jud ako eyes.

oh, they gave us city pass for seattle worth 39.50$ soooo mahalia jackson.. but, sobrang amusing lang cuz murag magmuseum tour and zoo ata. we will save the pass for next weekend. cuz tomorrow! we are heading to nba in seattle! sonics against lakers. :)

nakow. geloooooooooooooo, i mishu. i wanna hear from my sisters too..

happy to be.

counting the days.

among the list of things i wanted to share today::

i somehow placed the shower curtains outside the tub, and water spilled allover the washroom to the kitchen area, so the gals from front desk gave me 3 pink towels for the floor. now we have pink mats instead of white. :)

tas they did housekeeping today :) room is fragrant as ever..

i cooked. rissotto. kaila nko niya. it's rice and cheese. sticky rice. so i made rice and smokies for lunch tomorrow.

tas last night when gelo called nag iningat ang bata na naa sa mountains of washington, crayola galores ako. haaaaaaaaaaaayers.

i passed the quiz today. happy happy joy joy.

and i felt extremely elated today. i felt like i swallowed a laughing gas..i would blurt out the wrong answers in class tas i felt too hyper and i ended up asking for cigs during last break and told the sunog baga that being in class is like me being soooo pressured like in a pressure cooker.

ang corny. but, they laughed.

and yeah, i had p4600 exchanged for usd. nge i got 88dollars lang. kalukring. haaaaaaaaayers. i will buy lotto tickets na. hahahaha. watch out nalang.

obama is love. and anyone who would vote for him is love. hahahaha.

dear Jesus, You are always wonderful. i've just been overwhelmed by everything that is around me now, and all that's hapnin. but, thank You.

tacoma/pierce county/etcetera




photos from jay.

photo blog as photo blog should be

 

akitch last night, with the dress from pacsun. kiss gi post ko na. :)

bombed the quiz tah-day :(

and not doing anything special din :( hayers, i miss gelo.

nakutaw big time my brains sa new airport ticketing rules. mk/wk/kk- it's all coming back to me now ang theme song ni inday.

one thing i observed here is that the food packaging and most stuff's packaging are really done prettily. nakakahappy.

and how one can cook/laundry in a short while.

with this, am quoting: Arthur Nersesian - The F*ck-Up

--

Only the city lights were visible, and over low roof tops and through empty lots in the distance, I could see tiny cars flowing down some avenue. A black sky of night crushed the scene. I hated long views of life, where the infinite overwhelms the finite subjects. Not even forever lasts forever, and again I thought no matter what I do, someday I'll be nothing.

 

eatonville, washington




more photos from weekend. i thunk this would be the last of the series..

north west trek




the animal kingdom is simply awe-inspiring. the trip last weekend. 1 million pictures etoh. :) uploading more tomorrow. hafta sleep.

country road




the 45 minute drive to eatonville then to northwest trek// last saturday..

sage and lavender

even if gelo and i aren't exactly okay lately, syempre i miss him.. :(

and i just thought about my sisters! i did not realise that i haven't had emailed them since i got here!

i passed the quiz today. :)

nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary today. except that we might wind up in seattle or NBA-real game on friday or saturday. and they planned to take us to mt. rainier. :)

and yeah, i decided to brave the weather and wear nothing but the dress i bought from pacsun without any tights underneath. wala, stare nalang sila sa ako paa. :) natingala siguro sila wut's up with this koreana.

There was nothing real about this country, which night had turned into make-believe, nothing except the smell of sage and lavender. The road continued to climb, but the same warm layer of air still lay heavy over the earth, O slipped her cape down off her shoulders. She couldn't be seen, there was not a soul left in sight.

FN:

that's moi stuck in the hotel friday night. :(
