the best showshal climbing statement of the year:

 

raen to nazel:: naz.. ang ang di man tah pede mag balik kung asa tah, gitaxihan baya gyud natoh padung ice..

nazel: mare, wala tah nag taxi.. nagtrisikel tah..
(kalimot ko. feel nako nag taxi mi..)

raen: sge lang, singkwenta baya atoh gibayad!

wicker park.

i am already decided on acquiring a wicker couch instead of anything too stuffy or leathery or woody-ish cuz they're all mahal. i wanted a country feel inside the apartment. we now have curtains on every room(compelled to use the motley curtain that the landlady gave me and angelo when we moved in..) and i gave up the yoga room cuz i hardly do the yoga anymore and we're thinking of converting it into the yaya's room or a guest room. ambot. watevs yaya.

so anyway i digressed. sorry.

i wanted something like these:





this would be uber expensive cuz it looks modern and not country. wish list lang ni.
wut i really wanted (and will be more practical) is like this:



i just want the couch, am fine without the arm chairs and coffee tables. i want something wicker and white. :) and i can find flowery and plush cushions and pillows and throws. ambot where. maybe sm homeworld- as they say, "we got it all for you!".

and lastly. i wanted a house like this. with the white picket fence and the wicker furnitures. one day soon. :)





love, peace, craziness,
Raen

wistful thinking.

i kinda want the following for Christmas. kani all materyosong kabaliwan but, a gal can always dream. and it's 4 am gimme a break!

snow. and the mall. or mall with snow. during the holiday season.



anna sui magic romance cuz of the fairies. and for pete's sake, it's pink!



a staged photog session with my sisters. and we all hopefully looked as twiggy as back in the day.

the world turns madly on..

i wanna go to nyc gyud.
kaartehan and kashushalan. all here. :)

sunday's movie date

for the love of retsard last sunday. photos from manong guard and sar.

sisters 3

kaloka tong morphthingy. i have 1 more hour to go. i tried morphing my sisters' faces and mine. and sali sa sisters si heart. haha.
me and dich came out fine and dich and shobe too. me and shobe is a bit off tangent. me and heart, wagi! sisters kami.

retail therapy

di bitaw nako makaya dili magshopping. haha. and i'm planning to go hit the mall in honor of those glorious days when czar and i were singletons and always had meals to our lonesome. and so later..

i plan to buy shirts for angelo i'm on a budget so i'll look for work shirts/ pique polos from memo cuz most of the time they're on sale if not, sa hangten nalang sha magtinir. (i tease him about buying shirts from penshoppe and bench- he smirks in disgust like a 3 year old would- then i'd ask, anong mali sa penshoppe or bench? hahahahaha! but, am sure he will not exactly like memo or hangten too but, who cares?)

then  perpel or grey contacts. am opting for perpel, pero mas ma-angay ata nako ang greys cuz i'm insikoi- it's about time that i buy one, cuz my spectacles(charoot word!) would make me dizzy and i still often make the mistake of saying hi to people i don't know cuz of my poor eyesight!

i want a pair of flats or maybe gladiators. eiwan. or just flats. basta anything on sale from celine cuz i am cheap.

i want a huuuuuuuuuge bottle of cheap cocoa butter but, i don't think i need it now, maybe next time.

i want the mmmmmmm pear spritz of calgon or para mi bebe (ambition ang para mi bebe, it costs double here)

and i asked alfie where i can find a stella mccartney adi jacket, he said in glorious galleria for 5krung. shucks ambition again. so X eto sa list.

i want that white flower print watch from guess. but, i don't think i am buying. it's too mahal. if i bought it i will eat packed lunch na balik2x for 10 days. kaloka!

i want a blouse either from guess, kamiseta, or bayo. but, i hafta make sure that i got gelo his shirts first. kawawa looking na mashado my boy - he looks yagit now that he is growing his hair long enuf to hold a pony tail(w/c i estimate will take us about kenji's toddler years before it'll grow)..I HOPE HE WEARS A CAP OR A BEANIE! I HOPE!

and digression: iza uy i love you. thanks for always making me feel better about myself and for always making sense for a 20 year old gal, i've never seen anyone sooo level-headed.

so far i just have to wait for emanuel to get me any preppy bags from bayo- this will take at least 2 months cuz he's still crazy over a gal in exfuja and i don't like to think of waiting for his purchase. haha.

so far, i will later go back to this list to see whether i have the heart to splurge. unta mapugngan cuz naga uros uros ako kasingkasing magasto today. (hambugera!)

shoppingeras, eye want

from the top:  multi strap multi coloured flats from shoes for lovely peole, crystal flats from emilio pucci, minnetonka mocassin-i am not sure why i want it, but i want it, a floral skirt from old navy- ilurve old navy forever, beyond paradise- mao ning the ultimate eye want shopping item, and black raspberry vanille lotion from bath and body works- eto lang ata ang viable item out of the list.

raindrops

yesterday with czar by anime. my mongoloidal fez.

yawets ulit.

guess who just got a no boundaries aqua plastic resin oversize ring(na murag that of the pope!), a pink peridot necklace with matching earrings from nine west (holidays), two pairs of soft lounge shorts, and a pair of blue glass earrings from india? kinsa daw beh?

me!
me!
me!
ü
thru the kindness of nazel marie who bought my old pair of dark glasses and gave me shopping monies. :)

i vowed to quit buying silly purchases pero the stuff from an accessories store at 888(murag beijing olympics ang name sa mall sah?) are tdf. but, this would be the last. who knows, tomorrow i might be a penniless loafer without a job! (ayyyyyyyyy nako, i also promised that i will not take offense when other people are plainly being FnF- feel na feel- pronounced as fehl nuh fehl)


i told angelo i want a gift. he asked wut i wanted, told him another logo shirt, then i realized i don't really need it, and i honestly don't need anything right now cuz i can hardly even organize my closet and there are clothes splaying on the guest room. at this point, maybe we should be working on our budget, cut down on eat-out cost cuz they add up to some material amount in the end, cut down on the kape at bob's- this week i did cuz i am broke! and shempre cut down on walang kwentang kind of purchases. cuz deuxko! overOA na ang oil price hike and am not even sure if the company will follow the president's order about revising the taxes. we have yet to see tomorrow.

that was the best cab ride yesterday. nazelmarie, props to you masking donya ka kaau most of the time and i don't give you credits na good friend ka, and pirmi tika libakon na samok kaau ka sa buhay buhay natin jan, but, i loveya to td! thank you gyd gheng for today.

we had lunch at chinky's/ the oddest place to be in. mahal sad their food.
everything is mahal these days.


i wuz tasked to organize this 2nd year anniv party of tp wave 1. i no longer cared about being in company with all the bull that's hapnin to me and my contract and how i am left hanging without a klaro na job description, so far, am still okay, just they wait lang pag giburn at the stakes na sila ni Lord! (yawets na sad- i am digressing sorry)pero, it seems like it's a happy reason to celebrate. cuz every day is meant to be a celebration.
and my next task is to short list all available guys from exfuja this way i can pair them up with gals from the printer queue. waha!

i took ed's sup call today. i wonder if that's gonna be a csat. kaloka the hours that i was on dut stupid phone call!

kanina, when everything is hello sylvia plath ikaw bah iyan? i happen to chance upon a jul 16 entry from my streams in the dessert devotional, today's promise was "God wouldn't put a desire in your heart if He doesn't have the intention of fulfilling it.." i was left with this stupid blank smile plastered on my face. naa rajud siguro moments when other people affects you soooo much and you seem like you cannot measure up to expectations but, God has certain expectations from you that is just between you and Him, so no matter how ditzy or flakey you may be on the outside world, to Him, you are kewl and He knows what is great for you before you can even spell it out for Him to read.
ganun lang cuz i am having ms. plath's moments at times. ü

kalukring, cuz one of the ghey agents would always say gbye to me with some rituals to boot. he would touch my shoulder then would do the sign of the cross. i know, it's not really respectful of other's religion, pero it's totally funny to be raised to the level of "holiness" and now that i am wearing a humungouos - spellcheck ring, i go around saying- oo, sabi nang pope! showing the ring to everyone who asks me of my opinion. :)
i love gelo!
shobe's shout out on friendster is "we have a girl everyone!" i want her baby named sobran- it's nothing of consequence pero, maganda divah?
muah!

blackberry for berry:)

papa johnel sold his new blackberry to me. it's black and white. soooo totally nag-iisa. :)

footahng bastard si gelo for staying out so late to play dota. makapikon na. pero nagdate mi tahday. dutch. *eyes rolling* and i got a new pair of cut-outs from july swim; he told me i looked like a hooker in those. so i would not dare wear them. haha.

i told him if he wants he can play dota daily, he can imbibe daily, i would not speak a word about it. da! napikon sad ang oplok.

i do not want to work anymore. irita ako sa mga daily reminders and deliverables. i wish i weren't as lazy. pero, it is possible that my outlook in life towards this job is good until december because i am just lazy and i don't like ppl bossing me around when i know dut preho lang mi gisweldo-an. or simply put, ang kulit nila, i have reminders in outlook et al. so i know. if i don't know, i'd ask.

fits.

ahgahd am throwing fits.

sana matapos na tong contract and am done. am okay with teacher teacher and the classroom situation thingy, gelotine told me i seemed happy to be doing training. i said, yeah, i like the job, but, i cannot seem to get along with other ppl soooo well. my character clashes with other ppl.

fits.

it's just that i am totally unhappy with responsibilities. grr. sana mahuman naning bond. tas i'd get the 13th month pay, tas am supah done najud.

i wish i can afford to be sick nalang gyud.

--
okay, am good at whining. on the other hand whilst on the mass commute, gelo told me, grabeh ka, kaya mo ko yawyawon sa jeepney? i said. oo. serves him right.

--
i've work to do. unta tomorrow i won't be as lazy.

"In the morning, there is too much absence to define my blackouts by the events that are missing. There are more things I can't remember than things I can. A night is no longer a solid sheet, interrupted by fissures. Instead, it is a gaping hole, scattered with fragments of conversations and episodes, like a night sky punctuated by planes disguised as stars."
