When Bordedom Gets to You

    Let us rejoice!!! I have a new project at last! ^__^ Yay for me! I can almost taste the sweet sound of my fingers tapping away at the keyboard with unrelenting p. logic pouring outta my head. At least, that’s what I’m hoping would happen. ^__~

    With that said, here’s a nice piece of a conversation I had with my buddy way back. We were talking about his adorable little brother’s maturity.

???: maturity level almost same lang kyu
mel: aaahhhh yabang mo!
mel: watchu mean by that?
mel: does it mean super mature sha?
mel: or kasing mature ko ang isang 13 yr old kid??
mel: u better answer carefully
???: my little bro is mature but not mature enough
mel: hmph
mel: so u settled for the middle
mel: smartass
mel: prang cnabi mong yes and no
???: u wouldn’t call me smartass for nothing
???: u and lanlan don’t u talk of smart things like dat?
mel: we don’t do talking
mel: we’re like cavewomen
mel: ung pg i ask her a question, you’re lucky to hear even just a faint grunt
mel: hehehe
mel: ah sha lng pla ung cavewoman
mel: seriously.. i’m not kidding.. literal un
mel: that’s why i don’t talk to her at all
mel: pg kelangan lng
mel: hehehe
???: ur mean
mel: ok lng kse i have my tv naman.. so it’s never silent in my room
mel: well promise
mel: if she were ur sister, u’d seem like chicken little
???: i think i can pretty much talk to anyone… if i want to
mel: u won’t wanna talk if lanie was around u
mel: promise
mel: she can be pretty harsh
mel: she’s got this skill..
mel: wat’s it called?
mel: oh
mel: the great
mel: "i can ignore u all i want even if it kills me" skill
???: hmm.. i wish i could test that.
mel: be my guest

    Lanie isn’t ALL bad of course. She can be pretty funny sometimes. When she tells stories, she usually needs to pull me towards her for me to get to listen to her. Then she laughs her head off even before the darn funny part of the story, but the thing is, I laugh my ass off too. We’ve got this very weird connection that way. She laughs, I laugh. Even if there’s nothing funny. We constantly piss each other off, and we constantly sabotage each other’s reps with Mom and Dad. When we do get decent conversations running, or if one of us is truly making the other laugh, we constantly find ways to annoy the hell out of each other, thus ending in what we call the immaturity bout. It would usually sound like this:

me: Hahahahahha!!!!!
lanie: Hahahahahahahah!!!!
me: Hahahahaha-haa-haaaa…. ha… T__T
lanie: T__T
me: T__T wiseass
lanie: immature!
me: YOU’RE immature!
lanie: no! YOU are!
me: no, YOU are!
lanie: IMMATURE!!!
me: >:P I know you are but what am I?!
lanie: IMMATURE!!
me: I know you are but what am I?! >:P

    That usually goes on until one of us gets the last word in, which is highly unlikely, being that we’re both stubborn smart-asses. ^__^

    Argh I finally got the darn google map to work. Thank God!!!

    So me and a good buddy of mine have been talking about our Chinese zodiac signs. We were both born on Jan. 1988, so we could relate to each other.

???: we aren’t year of the dragons
mel: YES WE ARE
mel: 1988 po
mel: year of the dragon
mel: look it up wiseass
???: cause Jan. tyo pinanganak
???: and chinese new year starts at feb
???: un ang mali sa knila
???: kc FEB ang cmula ng new year ng CHinese
???: so di tyo counted
mel: yeah pero nagbase ako sa new year na cne-celebrate ko
???: CHINESE CALENDAR
???: KAYA IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE DI TAYO COUNTED SA 1988 na un
???: FEB 1988 - JAN 1989 ang DRAGON
mel: anyways.. we’re NOT CHINESE in the first place
mel: so there!!!
???: YAH!
*after a few minutes of checking wikipedia…*
mel: we’re year of the RABBIT *sniff*
mel: i like dragons better, damn it
???: yah we’re RABBITS
???: cute little bunnies
mel: THAT’S why my lucky year of the dragon wallet charm doesn’t work…
mel: because i’m a friggin’ rabbit
???: no wonder i like the playboy logo
mel: and get this
mel: we’re…
mel: FIRE rabbits
???: cool
mel: like i give a damn…
mel: for 19 years i thought i was a damn dragon
???: me nung mga 12 namulat na ko sa katotohanan
mel: but dragons are SO MUCH COOLER!!!
???: its not so bad being a rabbit
???: DRAGONS ARE OVERRATED
mel: well i like them.. even if they’re overrated
mel: it’s the only mythical creature in the chinese zodiac for chrissake

    Yes.. it’s true.. *sniff* I’m a fire rabbit! For those of you out there that were born on January, please double check your Chinese zodiac sign while you’re still young. You’d be surprised.

    Argh!!! I forgot to post an entry yesterday.. darn it. Well I didn’t have anything to write about anyways so I guess it couldn’t be helped.

    This morning, me and my dad were eating breakfast at the dining table. We were eating pandesal and pancit. The pancit was on a really big oval bowl and there was a lot, so we shared it. But then he suddenly took out the spoon from his coffee mug, stuck it into the pancit, and started to scoop some up to sandwich into his pandesal.

Me: Pa, could you be any more BABOY?!
Pa: Bakit? Malinis naman ‘to noh!
Me: Oh my gosh… For a person of YOUR breeding, you sure are pretty disgusting!
Pa: Ano ba?!
Me: Oh for cryin’ out loud!!! You just took your disgusting spoon FROM your mug, which is full of YOUR saliva PLUS the coffee, and stuck it into the pancit, which we are SHARING!!! That was not only majorly grotesque, but it was also very unsanitary and TOTALLY inappropriate!
*then I started dividing the pancit into 2 parts so the "infected" part wouldn’t mix with mine*
Pa: Hay nako! Nel! Kunan mo nga ito ng plato!
Ma: Eh kasi nga naman kadiri yung ginawa mo! Nanggaling pa sa bunganga mo yun.
Me: >:P
Pa: Hmph..

    Tsk… tsk.. tsk.. ^__^

    Have you ever thought about your dream job? When I was a kid, I used to love drawing and designing tons of dresses and ornate costumes. Then, I got hooked into gaming, (mainly PlayStation) and I just love Final Fantasy VIII. I played it a ton of times, and whenever I saw the end credits, I dreamt of being a game developer specifically for Square-Enix just so I could see my name in the game’s end credits. Me and my friend were talking about that.

me: what’s ur dream job??
???: dati baller…
???: den soldier
me: baller?
???: den fireman
???: den police..
???: den slacker
me: u mean playa? bball playa?
me: ah wow
me: so you’re very patriotic
???: yah
???: huh?
???: patriotic?
me: patriotic.. kse u like jobs that serve the country ie. soldier, police, fireman
me: except for the slacker
me: and the baller
???: not really: POLICE bcoz I CAN HAVE A GUN
???: SOLDIER bcoz I CAN KILL A LOT
me: lmao
me: smartass
me: go figure
???: FIREMAN bcoz I GET PAID EVEN IF THERE IS NO FIRE
me: hahahahahaha
me: smartass even back when u were a kid

    Awww.. cute huh? Trust kids to think that way. Hahaha! ^__^ I remember my mom talking about my Kuya Mike’s dream job when he was a kid. Whenever they would ride a bus, and whenever Kuya Mike would see the conductor collecting the fare, he’d stare at the conductor’s fingers full of folded bills and he’d tell my mom "Ma, tignan mo ung mama oh.. Andaming money. Gusto ko ganyan ako paglaki ko, Ma." Aaahhh yes.. the innocence of little unsuspecting kids. How cute! Naive… but cute nonetheless! ^__^

    My baby nephew, Miggy, was happily eating french fries while watching Barney the other day. Seeing that he had a whole lot of fries, I took two pieces (yes, I’m a glutton.. I admit it).

Me: *munch* *munch* *munch*
Pa: Hoy wag ka nga kumuha jan. Para sa bata yan eh.
*then he picks an exceptionally long french fry, dips it in the ketchup, and tries to feed it to Miggy*
Me: Whooooo!!! Style mo! Kunyari bibigyan mo si Miggy tapos pag di nya kinain kakainin mo.
Pa: Hoy hinde ah. Mahiya ka nga. *puts the fry down*
Me: Tsk tsk tsk.. *turns around to leave*
*then I turn around back to dad just in time to see him munching on the alleged french fry*
Me: Hah! Kita mo!!! Kunyari ka pa!
Pa: Oh bakit? Wala akong ginagawa ah. *grins*
Me: Pa, pede ba, I’m your only daughter na mana sayo. I know how your brain functions. (you wiseass…)

    In an attempt to duplicate Goldilocks’ simply divine pastillas, I tried making my own homemade ones. The first darn batch wasn’t too much of a success, but I kept the rest in the freezer overnight and I put more condensed milk the next day. I had to put it in the darn microwave to make the mix soften. At least it tasted better. But in the end, I guess nothing beats Goldilocks.

    Seriously, do I look super innocent? Do I have this totally clueless look on my face? Do I look like I’m lost all the time? Do I look like I don’t really know what I’m doing? If I do, well, bummer. Today a man’s elbow "accidentally" grazed my.. well, left boob. I was about to alight from the jeepney we were riding, when he suddenly held onto his things in an odd way - his elbow was sticking out too much. Obviously, he thought I didn’t see him staring at my darn chest the whole time. I could tell that he’s been itching to.. well you know what I mean. Too bad that I didn’t have enough time to slap his ugly-ass face, much less react verbally. So, I got off the jeepney, and I swore like crazy. The nerve of that guy! Well anyways.. I’ve seen much worse.

    So then I told a good friend of mine about my little experience.

???: loko pala un… dapat u reacted
mel: well shempre i didn’t have time to react kse pababa nko nun
???: tssstt…. always react..
???: dapat sinabihan mo naman, para mapahiya
mel: wat do u suggest na reaction ko dpat?
???: hmm… manong nakakachansing na ho kayo! (with feelings, assertive ang dating!) magingat nmn kayo sa kilos nyo!
mel: eh gus2 q english
???: DON’T FUCK WITH ME
???: cguro maintindihan nya un
mel: hahahah! pede
mel: "fuck off"
mel: kso di sha applicable knna kse I was the one that was going
???: ungas.. don’t take this lightly
???: kc u look…
???: well..
???: "easy to take advantage"
???: u got that "im-so-innocent" look
mel: eh i’m not usually easy to harass
mel: it’s just that knna i was taken by surprise
???: r u on drugs
???: u got that "easy to take advantage" look
mel: no i’m not on drugs
mel: and yes, i do have that look
mel: but no, i’m not easy to take advantage of
mel: kse i protect myself well
???: dapat sa "looks" pa lang muka kang "STREET-WISE"
???: u should have that "STREET-WISE" aura
mel: and how do u suppose i get that?
mel: should i body build to get muskels???
mel: or should i grow a beard?
mel: or maybe i should dress like a goth
mel: or maybe ghetto
???: don’t talk smart…
mel: eh how.. seriously
mel: because i really don’t know how
mel: i seem to possess this clueless look
mel: but i’m really not (most of the time)
mel: and i seem to look innocent.. but i’m certainly not ^__~
mel: maybe i should just buy a mace or a tazer
???: sa kilos pa lang ng tao… "Bad-guys" can pick out who can they take advantage of…
mel: hmm.. ok gets. so what should i do?
???: di ko masabi eh…
???: di ko alm kung pano i-explain… (lalo na via txt)
???: juz try to look sharp
???: actually act sharp all the time
mel: hey i have the mataray look! does that count?
???: your mataray look is more PISSED-OFF LOOK
mel: ah tlga?? so… does that count?
???: nah… not very effective
mel: not even just a teenie tiny bit???
???: basta kailngan u look aware on whats happening around you…
???: indi mukang nag-iisip ng kung ano-ano
mel: i am naman eh.. i just don’t look like it ^__^

    Look sharp.. look sharp.. I believe I don’t know what the heck he was talking about. HOW do you actually LOOK sharp??? Anyways.. I just wish some guys would just leave us girls alone. For all the creepy maniacs out there, this is a special message for you. GET A LIFE!.. OR A GIRLFRIEND.

    You must be completely clueless right now. I was too.. after I finished making that up. Hahaha! ^__^ Fascinating stuff huh.. and you must be dying to find out the meaning of the chat lingo I put. *wink* You can check it out later.

    Anyways so I tomorrow, it’s Valentine’s Day. The one day of the year for the secret admirers and stalkers of the world to reveal themselves to their "crushes" or most precious loved ones. Some people will get lucky, some won’t. Some will become the happiest person alive, some will just wallow in their tears for not getting any chocolates/flowers, or for being turned down by their crush.

    Well in any case, here’s a very special piece of artwork to start off the special day tomorrow. This was drawn by frzdragon of deviantart:
http://frzdragon.deviantart.com/ Isn’t it cool?! I just LOVE Neji’s
line. Oh and Kankuro’s line is uber gross.. hahaha! ^__^ But it seems that the popup doesn’t reveal the whole image, so here’s the link to the whole thing. Click the image to get a better view: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38397962/ So anyways, good luck to
all the guys and gals who will be joining the romantic frenzy tomorrow!
On your marks, get set, go! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ^__^

    I’m very proud of my little sister Lanie. She starred in a school play last week, and I think she was amazing in it. (I saw videos) I noticed that she’s a totally different person on-stage. Her voice is different, her poise is different, and she’s a great actress. Unbelivable for me, yes. I mean, I know she’s had drama classes and acting workshops, but I didn’t know that she could actually do well with acting. Anyways, I’m still shocked from the fact that she’s acted with real live movie stars on-screen. She has taken a couple of small roles before in some local television series. She stopped after a while because shooting those things could be very exhausting. She wanted to focus on studying for now. I must say, aside from her very good looks, she’s got talent. She’s smart too. The only thing left for her is to become good at sports.

    Yes, it’s a sad fact that me and my sisters aren’t too keen on sports. I mean, apart from the fear of flying objects (mostly basketballs, volleyballs, and the like), we just plain suck at sports. The only proper thing I could manage is swimming, which is my most favorite sport in the whole world, because it’s the only thing I know to do.. plus, it doesn’t involve flying projectiles (balls).. just yourself (that’s why I like running too). I’m not saying I’m good at it or anything.. but I’ve been known to do a couple of laps or so back in my childhood. I used to do 50 laps a day (with breaks of course) every weekend before. My swimming instructor didn’t have anything left to teach me, so she made me do 50 laps (front crawl a.k.a. freestyle) back and forth with each class I attended. I used to swim with my cousins everyday during summer vacation. Those were good times. We all had fun learning to swim and just goofing off later during break time or practice. I wish I could relive those times. ^__^

    This is my entry for yesterday, Feb. 11. So anyways I was talking with Dad, and since me and my girlfriends are going jogging every Saturday starting next week, I wanted to go swimming with Dad on Sundays. I wanna lose my fat darn it! So, I talked him into doing a couple of laps with me on Sundays at the Marikina Sports Complex. Of course, with Dad, it’s simple. He totally said yes, which means that I’ll be able to get a swimming buddy. Too bad for Mike though.. I wanted him to be my swimming buddy.. but he just doesn’t wanna go swimming. He says he doesn’t know how.. but I know that he’s just terribly paranoid of leg cramps. Anyways.. he told me he’d accompany me and Dad once, so that’s fine by me. At least somehow he’s there. After he buys a new pair of running shoes, we’re planning to go jogging every Sunday morning. We wanna lose our fat bellies quick. (just in time for swimsuit season *wink*) Hahaha! Not that I’m planning to wear a bikini or anything.. I’m sparing everyone the horror.

    Here is a short and funny conversation I had with my sis yesterday:

Ate Mimi: *wiggles her ass* Cha, I can actually feel my fat wiggling.
Me: That’s ’cause you ARE fat. T__T

    Yesterday was my 9th month anniversary with my boyfriend, Mike. The funny thing is, we didn’t notice until one of our friends mentioned it. We both forgot! I couldn’t believe it myself. We both thought that it was still Feb. 7, and not 8.. and we were looking forward to Feb. 14 too much, that we forgot about our 9th month anniv. It was a darn good thing our friend remembered. (thanks again, Jason) Mike told me that it was a good thing that we both forgot.. because if one of us didn’t, it’d be hell for the other. Hahaha! He meant me.. I kinda have this way of overreacting sometimes, plus I’m sensitive when it comes to being thoughtful. So it’s very important for both of us to remember every special occassion together. Anyways, happy birthday to us!!! ^__^ And thanks to the thoughtful people who remembered. (especially Che)

    Anyways, here’s a text message conversation me and Ate Mimi had today.

Me: Woi gaga namatay na daw si Anna Nicole Smith.
Ate Mimi: Ure so huli sa news.
Me: Bakit san m napanuod yun at kelan?
Ate Mimi: CNN this morning.
Me: Hmph.. Go figure.
Ate Mimi: 4 words
Me: Which are?
Ate Mimi: Go back to work.
Me: I AM working you wiseass! By the way, what time tayo bukas aalis? (I’m accompanying her to Shangrila for Miggy’s play school)
Ate Mimi: Ah nilipat ko na sha sa Sunday class.
Me: Ay GREAT! Just GREAT! I HAD plans this saturday that I cancelled just so I could do you a favor! I knew you’d pull off something like this! Don’t you dare ask me for any more favors ever you inconsiderate prick!
Ate Mimi: Nag click sha sa Thursday teacher nya eh.. Kaya Sunday class nalang sha kasi un ung teacher dun. Alis nalang tayo sa saturday.
Me: No way.. Unless you’re buying me those gigantic haw flakes from Aji Ichiban.
Ate Mimi: Fine
Me: Fine? Fine as in you’re buying me food???
Ate Mimi: I’ll buy you plato wraps! And that’s it!
Me: You are SO cheap! Fine! I’ll take what I can squeeze out of your "makunat" ass.
Ate Mimi: Let’s buy wedding shoes. (for Kuya Mike’s wedding.. abay kami)
Me: Edi sa sunday nalang!
Ate Mimi: It’s best to look for shoes sa Sta. Lucia gaga. And mahal sa Shangrila.
Me: Ok fine.. But I’m still broke ha.. And it better be in the morning.

    Have a happy weekend everyone!!! Weeeee!!! ^__^
