The ‘Ideal Couple Award’ Goes To….

Bilang estudyante sa kolehiyo, masasabi ko na napaka-idealistic ko. Hindi man ako naka-enroll sa isang bonggang unibersidad sa Maynila, hindi ako nagpatinag. Aba, kailangan mas maging palaban ako para makaangat sa buhay! Hindi ako masyadong pala-aral, pero gusto ko na habang maaga ay ma-expose na ako sa realidad ng tinatawag na ‘corporate world’. Bilang kamamamatay lang ng tatay ko at sadyang matigas ang ulo ko, nagtanong ako kung pwede na akong mag-OJT sa school.

The ideal couple back in college (2005)

Bago ko ilahad ang OJT story ko, iku-kwento ko muna ang ilan sa mga extra-curricular activities na pinag-kaabalahan ko noon. Una na r’yan ang LNU Dance Troupe. Isang taon lang ako tumagal dahil sa samu’t saring dahilan. Isa na rin sa rason kung bakit ako umalis ay ang pakikipag-kaibigan ko sa mga opisyal ng Student Government namin. Natutuwa ako kasi kahit na busy sila sa kani-kanilang kurso, nabibigyan nila ng oras at sapat na atensyon ang mga hinaing ng kapwa estudyante. Oo, gusto ko maging officer din sa Student Government ng Unibersidad namin. Sama ako ng sama sa kanila hanggang sa tawagin na akong saling-pusa. Meow.

 

Isa sa mga nakilala kong lider sa aming unibersidad ay si Ate Milagros. Kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko, siya ang sekretarya ng organisasyon. Kumukuha siya ng kursong Education at tuwing nakikita ko siya, palagi siyang busy. Either nagbabasa siya ng libro o nagtatayp sa kompyuter. Ang sipag!

Isang araw, nagkaroon kami ng bonding moment. Nandoon ako sa opisina nila. Imbes na tumambay kung saan at gumawa ng kalokohan, pinili kong ipagsiksikan ang sarili ko sa opisina nila. Napag-usapan namin ang usaping love life.

Ate, may boyfriend ka na?

Let There Be Love!

Christina Aguilera just released a simple yet heartfelt music video for the song ‘Let There Be Love’. The song automatically gives me good vibes! I don’t know why it took her so long to release it as a single, but better late than never!

Christina Aguilera is not the main point of this post, but I'm spreading the LOVE!

Christina Aguilera is not the main point of this post, but I’m spreading the LOVE!

Anyway, this post is not really about Christina Aguilera (although I am planning to write one soon). I want to write this quick post while I have the momentum to do so.

I feel happy and blessed with all the love and appreciation I’ve been receiving especially from my family. It feels great to get daily hugs from my mom and my brother. I know that my father is watching over us. I can also sense that he is proud of what we’ve become.

Homecoming Jitters – Random Thoughts and Realizations

Three months in England. Wow. Is that for real? Yes, I am on my way to my third month in England and sadly, I am scheduled to leave soon. I am having mixed emotions right now. Remember my blog entry about my travel jitters prior to my trip here? Ironically, I am going through the same thing. Now I call it ‘Homecoming Jitters’.

Wishful Thinking

Some of my mom’s friends told me that I should not go here in United Kingdom on a Winter because of the weather. Guess what? They were right! My body is not used to the very, very, very cold weather and I needed to adjust asap. Now I know that Gloves, Boots, Scarfs and Warmers are not being used for fashion purposes only. It is a necessity. It is not even enough to keep your body warm especially last December. I ended up getting colds after playing with the snow when I was in Cardiff, Wales. I literally rolled on the snowed floor in a public park. That resulted to my home arrest for two weeks.

Random Thoughts on the First Day of February

It’s February 2011! So what does that mean? The day of hearts is just around the corner. Lovers are already expected to do some plans just to show their love to their partners while the single ones (like me!) would rather consider February as the Single Awareness Month LOL 😛

Let's Get Love Drunk! It's February!

I don’t have any intentions of joining the Love Post bandwagon (ok, i’m lying then Haha), but I would like to share some of my random thoughts about February or specifically, on LOVE.

1. NEVER HAD A ROMANTIC VALENTINES DATE. Yes, at age 23, i never really had that candlelit dinner in a fancy restaurant or anything intimate to begin with on the 14th of February. You’d see me either working, hanging out with friends or just at home chatting with my friends online. I am not sure if this year will be a different one, but i am hoping. I am not expecting, but i am hoping. Expecting and Hoping are two different words, but i find it hard to differentiate them in a wider manner. Get me? No? K.

2. PROM DAY IN HIGH SCHOOL IS… not worth remembering either. Ok, it is worth remembering in a way. During our JS PROM when we were in ThirdYear, I couldn’t really remember who my first dance was. I can remember the last dance though since he was one of the most admired guys in school. He is a tall, chinito charmer who is also a gentleman. He ended up as my last dance partner because we swapped from another couple. I don’t want to elaborate LOL. The last prom night is quite special because most of my ‘adings’ from the Junior batch really approached me and danced with me. My last dance turned out to be my crush hehe. I ended up removing my shoes because i’m taller than him. I wanted to savour that moment so yes, i danced while holding my shoes 😛 It is a moment worth turning into a short film.

The Things We Do For Love

The Things We Do For Love - Despite the Differences

LOVE is complicated. LOVE is unpredictable. LOVE is all about timing.

I am currently listening to the song ‘The Things We Do For Love’ by Lovers and Poets, one of my favorite indie duo that i accidentally discovered online. I even bought the full album because their songs are truly moving especially when i need to keep in touch with the ‘hopeless romantic’ in me.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSyu_YAWTVY&w=480&h=385]

I just realized that last year, I didn’t really update the Love’ category of this blog. Just like the previous years, i am still single and i am not desperately looking, but i won’t deny that i am longing for it.

They Clicked! – Ms. Google Earth Meets Mr. Titik Pilipino

The search for true love and perfect melody finally ended last December 26, 2009 for Kuya Jay de Jesus and Ate Aileen Apolo as they finally exchanged vows – on their 800th day of knowing and loving each other!

Aileen and Jay - The Wedding Kiss is just the beginning...

Three years ago..

Three years ago, our journey began…

We knew each other’s names, but we don’t really know each other that well. I’ve heard of your name since I was in high school because you are the biggest competitor of my puppy love. I’ve seen you walk around the campus like a walking encyclopedia with your nerd-ish hairstyle and geekish glasses. Still, I find you attractive because you do really look good on your white uniform.

Call it a stroke of luck, we suddenly clicked as friends. I remember I was nursing a heartbreak due to a friend’s revelation that he is getting married. You asked me to accompany you go around the campus and inspect for the election posters. The funny thing there is you were narrating stories i never thought i’d hear. To be honest, I was impressed. I never thought that someone like you, who is very much loved and adored by the students, appreciated how i am as a leader and as a dance troupe member.

48 Years of Love and Affection

October is a special month for my grandparents especially the twenty second day. It is the day when they were finally pronounced as Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez.

It has been a routine for my favorite couple to go out of the country and unwind for a week every October and in every trip they go to, they always go back home with more weight and a big smile on their faces.

They arrived here at home from their trip to Vietnam and China two hours ago. My grandpa told me the bad news that his phone was stolen in the trip and that he accidentally deleted all the photos on his digicam. You can really see that he is really disappointed, but when my grandma held his hand, he smiled and kissed her. Sometimes, when you need to take a break and enjoy some fun, a sex sim no sign up is a great way to unwind without any hassle.

Believe it or not, my grandparents are still affectionate up to this day. Some of my college friends argued with me way back about senior couples. They claim that the old ones are just sticking with each other for companionship and not for the love anymore. I beg to disagree with my grandpa and grandma’s case. To achieve this kind of relationship, you may read more about couples therapy and how it can help couples fix their issues. Those who decided to file for divorce may need legal assistance from a divorce lawyer in Naperville Illinois.

So why am I writing an entry about them? I don’t exactly know why haha. I guess I’m just happy that they’re here with me again. I really miss it when I see them tease each other in the morning and at night.

Did you know that they almost DID NOT end up together?

EMO MODE: ON

It was a night full of foods, drinks, name switch, prizes, music and fun. It was a night where bloggers took a break from their heavy school/workloads and more.

It was nice to see my old and new blogger friends. We talked about our whereabouts, took photos with the wackiest poses ever, exchanged calling cards, exchanged identities (haha LOL) and talked about the latest chismax in the blogosphere.

Since it is a drinking event, I decided to drink one bottle of beer. I am not really an alcoholic person, so i felt like i am tipsy already. However, one of my alcoholic friends started to overcome his alcohol addiction with the help of a reputable rehab like Pacific Ridge, try to see here now for more info!

Substance abuse and addiction can affect all areas of your life, such as your finances, relationships, and your physical and mental health. Read on to learn more about luxury vs private addiction treatment here and which one is better for your recovery.

To be able to fight this alcoholic spirit trying to conquer my mind and body (naks LOL), I went to the WiFi station and blogged an entry about some of the stuff that are bugging me from time to time when suddenly I won an Mp3 player in the raffle (rejoice rejoice!).

I saved the entry and made it exclusive for my Multiply contacts. I went to the redemption booth to get my loot bag and bid farewell to some blogger friends. I wasn’t sure if I should go home or what, but I decided to stay.

I quietly enjoyed the music while i’m grooving on my sit. I really want to dance last night but no one was on the dance floor. When I noticed that some of my Plurkfiesta buddies were in the other side of the venue, I approached them talked about the stuff that are not really “plurkable”. We were discussing some points when the topic focused on me. It was nothing really offensive and I do really appreciate what they told me. I will not elaborate further, but it has something to do with Carlo, my advocacy, my family, my life, ME.
