N4 reunited

before the HS reunion was n4 reunion muna pala last friday. patsy said we should get together for merienda/reunion/despedida before she heads off to ohio... so friday came and with only 2 hours of sleep, i once again walked through the halls of spi to meet the n4 kids... yeah kids talga e no!

pizza and chicken and maja. what else could count for a perfect merienda? top it all off with a bunch of great people with great stories and updates. nakakamiss sila hihi... patsy (though lalayo k papa nick, hmmm 6 hours is not that bad! kaya yan! go tiger! haha), anabelle, jowa, ben (malapit na nga bang ikasal si jowa at ben? hihi), jz, jay, denver, david, edz (uy crush pala ni edz si ano?), thomas (na nalipatan na ang lahat ng team hehe astig!)... did i miss a name? i guess that's it!

btw, merong perfect hirit si roy nung nagkita kami sa canteen...

roy: uy! kelan ka pa dumating?
caths: ah... ehh.. dumating? ngayon lang? [puzzled to the highest level]

at hindi pala nya alam na wala na ako sa spi. hehe way to go, roy!

tapos i dropped by the spi coop office na rin to get my check... that's it? ang liit naman... =( kala ko marami akong pera... awww...

and then, a little chika with joy and rocel. hay kakamiss. hmm... i heard a couple of "pumayat ka!" comments... and i thought i was gaining weight... ilusyunada! haha!

michie - same old michie... yun nga engaged na sya and will tie the knots with tom on june 2007 woohoo! HS sweethearts sila.

tom - ang special someone ni michie. good to finally meet him again. kse last kita ko sa kanya HS pa e. at lagi na lang stories ang naririnig ko about him.

jana - sikat na sikat si jana dahil sa pagkakapanalo nya sa game ka na ba. hihi! sosyal!

racks - si racks, ganun pa rin! grabe the same girl way back HS... pati mga hirit, panalo pa rin!

abbie - si abbie, tumaba na! woohoo! sa intel sya work... with josh. sya ang nag suggest na sa temple bar kami.

fraulie - vet na sya! o diba! natatawa raw sya kse everytime she says na vet sya, ang kasunod agad, "uy may aso ako, tingnan mo naman libre ah!"

densya - ay teacher sa spcp... at sawa na rin sya hearing people ask her what's new in st. paul... at si denise na lang ata (plus me) ang hindi tumataba sa group =(

sj - 3 yrs na sila ng special someone nya. and i'm happy she's happy. si sj makulit pa rin! masaya pa rin kasama!

shella - humabol lang si shella. kasama ang special someone (?) nya. si shella, mahinhin pa rin tulad ko (question mark yung tulad ko)

js - ang special someone ni shella na tahimik. nasa IT field din pala sya and was almost hired sa spi.

mikay - nahihiya raw sya sumama... pero sumama rin eventually tapos derecho na sa poker session nila (aww... nakita nya si gabby ulit).

ano ito horror?


one more time, with flash

i'm on drugs

hihi... this is my third day taking in the hopeful cure to my so-called "allergy cough". doc said that's the reason my cough stays on for the longest time... and i've been having 2-minute throat kati attacks every now aind then.

i was supposed to have myself checked last tuesday. when i got there (this is a nearby clinic where the doctors are a husband-wife team... and other people say they're a great pair of doctors), i was given a number card. ok number 34. i checked and they're currently processing number 9. darn it. at the rate they're going, i'll be checked in about 1.5 hours pa. so i was willing to wait... until i heard the receptionist whisper something to an irate patient, "ok lang naman po kay doktora sumingit eh, basta dodoblehin nyo yung bayad na P150, bale P300 na." watda... to hell with singit. i was tempted to get the bait pero i said why would i pay double? na-turn-off ako sa tandem na yun. i thought they were a compassionate pair... and they would tolerate this? to earn more? so that was it. i stood up, returned the number, and decided to come back the next day - the earliest time possible.. hehe kala ni doktora mauutakan nya ko.

so the next day came, i came in early. number 9 ako! yey! now who would want to singit! yey! so in i went to the room. i told doc that i have this cough for more than 3 weeks now.

doc: "nagpa x-ray ka na ba?"
caths: "opo. mga 2 months ago lang." [kala mo, magpapa x-ray pa ko sa clinic mo ah!wala akong tb at hindi ako magpapa x-ray]
doc: "e bakit ganun? hindi gumaling sa dati mong gamot?" [habang pinapakinggan nya ang tibok ng puso ko]
caths: gumaling na po ako. umulit lang nung lumamig.
doc: "kumakati ba?"
caths: "opo. most of the time mga 3 minutes sobrang kati"
doc: "naku allergy cough yan! may trabaho ka ba?" [dollar dollar ang mata]
caths: "opo"
doc: "o tiisin mo na lang muna ang presyo ha. magaling naman itong gamot na to. bibigyan kita ng antibiotic at anti-allergy"
caths: "sige po"
doc: "bumalik ka sa 9 at pag di gumaling, bibigyan kita ng [makes a higop action] sinisinghot para sa allergy mo. mga 1 month un"

pagdating ko sa pharmacy (na pagmamay-ari din nina doktora), kwenta kwenta si ate. ok 954 ang gamot.. argh ang mahal magkasakit. that's why i'm strictly sticking to the sched of the meds. don't wanna miss a thing. i might go over the whole process again. dollar dollar ang mata... argh...

funny sign #1 - wanted security guard's

where: a certain building along buendia

okray: ok... possessive form itu... wanted security guard's what? security guard's batuta? pito? bwahaha! wala lang.

usapang ina-anak

caths: ma, pag nabuntis ba ko, papalayasin mo ko?
ma: oo... bahala ka sa buhay mo!
caths: e pano kung walang ama? di mo ba ko kukupkupin?
ma: may bahay ka, dun ka tumira!
caths: pano kung walang magdadala sakin sa ospital? papabayaan mo ko?!?
ma: ay bahala ka sa buhay mo!
caths: si [certain girl] nga tutulungan mo pag nanganak na eh! ako pang anak mo!!! papabayaan mo ko?
ma: [ngiti lang]
caths: kita mo na! nasasabi mo lang yan para 'di ako magpabuntis! pero di mo naman ako matitiis! bwahaha!
ma: [ngiti ulit sabay tawa...]

bwahaha!

familia del buena del sol dela viu camacho... watda...

buti na lang andun si gabi

heck... i don't even know if her nick's spelled that way... i guess i'm intoxicated with this little angel. lost in a herd of unfamiliar crowd, i was worried how i'll survive the afternoon/night. i know i could stay quiet if i have to but i haven't been that sober for a long time now. i guess i've been used to just blurting out my whatevers.

so we went in the house and there she was... gabi, the 3-year old angel... with her short wavy hair all oily and messed up, her feet dirty, and maybe it was choco stuff smudged on her chin and cheeks. she definitely needed a bath... but heck she was cute and adorable and i so wanted to hug her. she was playing with her toys and she was constantly flashing that adorable smile. she was too friendly even with a stranger like me... that could be dangerous at times.

i asked her what her name is and she answered shyly, "gabriel" awww... english speaking si gabi. sosyal... and if you ask her, and the answer is yes, she'll say "yaah" with a twang... sosyal hihi...

so the boys were doing their stuff. and i couldn't fit in so i played with gabi. we were making a necklace out of heart beads. we took turns in putting the piece together. "it's your turn! what color do you like?" she would ask... and i'd say "red!" and she would hand me the red heart bead and clap "yey!" when i've done my part. and she would say, "it's my turn!" and do her thing na. she sometimes had a hard time putting in the bead and she would shout "it's tooo haaard!" hihi so arte! but so cute. i sooo wanted to bite her cheeks hihi.

she was a good girl in every sense... koko put on her santa hat and she saw it. other kids might have cried "give me back my santa hat!!!" or "that's mine!" but she just smiled and said... "he's borrowing my santa hat..." awww love ko na sya. "there's salad in the ref if you want, huh" maybe her mom asked her to tell me that... but awww... awww... awww... she's so sweet. and didn't run out of smiles... and awww... basta...

i learned she has 4 kuyas so medyo glad to play with a girl sya. hehe parang ako. glad to play with a girl. i always wondered how things would be if i had an ate or a little sister.

1 lang talaga masasabi ko... buti na lang andun si gabi.
