kuya's leaving... soon. he finally got what he's been hoping and praying for. either that, or God granted my birthday wish - that He give what kuya is asking for, if that will be the best for him. or maybe, God listened to us both. we're equally loved then. :) as if there are favorites, duh! hehe.

kuya has been eyeing this good opportunity. he says it's about time he prepare for his future and he really wants to marry his gf soon. i'm so proud of him for having been transformed into someone i could look up to. he's changed over the years to become a man i could proudly refer to as, "kuya ko yan!".

as younger kids, we used to fight a lot. he was the antagonist, i was the underdog. he was the teaser, i was the cry-baby. i dunno if it had something to do with him being older, and with him being male, but we definitely were cats and dogs back then. and they were always on my side. who wouldn't be touched and comfort a crying tiny girl? and who wouldn't look down and point their fingers on a bad bully? hehehe...

despite all those fights, i could never forget that time when we were playing taguan with our neighbor playmates. i might have been the youngest among the pack, thus the slowest and the weakest weakling - that meant i had to be IT for the longest time! i just can't catch anybody! or make it to base before they do! and i was teary-eyed... just too tired of being IT, i guess. kuya noticed that i was all upset and he volunteered to be IT, and he took my post. awww. my big brother. my savior.

i could tell him everything, i could ask him anything. although there's still this wall of personal space, i know it's something we won't mind breaking or trespassing.

it hasn't really penetrated my system yet, the part that processes the major changes of life, but everyday i know we're getting there. and i can't help but feel a tinge of sadness too. i guess he's the next best thing to the father i never had and we've been pretty close now that we're older. we learned to share the same interests and i swear kuya is the type of person who could convince me to buy a jacket in a desert, or have a halo-halo in a snowstorm. :( i just believe in him, agree with him, and i know that his systems work. and yeah, he's earned my respect over the years.

oh, but he hasn't earned my love... you see, it's one thing that's innate. i'll miss you, big, silly, smelly guy! :( fly high but never fail to look back. keep our love in your pockets and it might just do you more wonders. have more faith in God and have more optimism. i think you have to work a little overtime for those two fields. above all, be a good boy and never ever forget to make your presence felt always. i luvya so much!

sa blog ko! woohoo!

2 years of every emotion imaginable. :) i guess this is my longest running journal. sometimes, i manage to filter raging emotions into artsy words... sometimes i don't. hahaha... it is during those times i somehow regret how i say things. hehehe. like, did i just say that? but hey... i know i have the power to delete posts... edit the way i say things to make them sound subtle. but i don't. hehe maybe i just choose to say those... no matter how bitchy i may sound. sheesh. hehe. that is, after all, how i really feel. :)

and when i feel happy, i REALLY portray that i am happy. proofs are my sometimes overly exaggerated elated posts. to the highest level ba... hehe.

everything started out as a gaya-gaya stuff... with my college buddies. it so happened that, back then, i had a lot of hurt emotions that i had to let out. :) so blog it is. sige mega pour out ng mga emotions chuva na kaartehan ko lang naman din siguro. hehe. i think up to now, every single post e kaartehan ko lang din. hihi. life is a big piece of kaartehan... that's what i believe in. take away kaartehan, and you take away the colors of life. :)

btw, the hot pink sakit-sa-mata layout is the original layout. nothing's changed. except for the tadtad-mukha-ko pictures... hehe. i'll probably keep it this way... for a long time. :)

sabi ni aling merriam at ni manong webster, ang positive at negative ay nangangahulugang,
positive: 'pä-z&-tiv, 'päz-tiv - having a good effect : FAVORABLE (a positive role model) b : marked by optimism

negative: 'ne-g&-tiv - lacking positive qualities; especially : DISAGREEABLE b : marked by features of hostility, withdrawal, or pessimism that hinder or oppose constructive treatment or development (a negative outlook) (negative criticism)

i know i sometimes have my crazy spells of pessimism. and i have no excuse for moments like that. how lame could PMS sound? yeah. maybe i could choose to be so in control of my hormones. and maybe i could choose to be so in control of my outlook in life.

if there's one thing i recall in tuesdays with morrie by mitch albom, it's how morrie said we should deal with sadness. first, acknowledge the feeling of sadness... grieve and cry if you must. and then give it you best shot and say, "ok i know now how it feels to be sad. it's now time for me to give way to my other emotions... like happiness maybe?". and then smile. :)

i was watching magandang umaga bayan (or is the title magandang umaga pilipinas?) this morning, and there was this very interesting topic on staying optimistic and keeping the negative vibrations off limits to your life.

i'll do my best to recall the stuff they enumerated. i think it's really neat piece of information. something i could read everyday... to ward off whatever evil forces there are that try to contain caths. :)

tips:
  • iwasang maging materialistic

  • iwasang maging competitive

  • patawarin ang iyong sarili at ang kapwa mo

  • sa simula ng bawat araw (gabi for my case), magpasalamat para sa bagong araw at sa mga biyayang natatanggap mo

  • bago matulog, bilangin ang mga magagandang bagay na nangyari sa 'yo. kung wala, isipin ang mga magagandang bagay na pwedeng mangyari sa 'yo bukas

  • humarap sa salamin, sabihin mong, "ang ganda ko naman ngayon!"

  • pag may lumait sa hitsura mo, isipin mo na lang na maaaring may problema sya, or "ok lang, maganda naman ako." (isipin mo lang, kse kung ilalakas mo, baka mag-away kayo)


  • * items in red font are my favorites! :)

    i'm not saying that there'll be 0% negative posts on my blog. that would be my way of acknowledging the sadness... the moving on part follows, hopefully! :)

    from my baby kapitbahay... while bidding farewell to his dad who's leaving for work:

    baby: pa, wag ka magmatagal ha! magmadali ka ha!
    papa: opo

    awwww... cute. :)

    last saturday, mikey was here at home. we were supposed to go out but i managed to lure him to just stay here at the house and bum around. mom and cecil went to SM to buy some stuff. kuya was upstairs watching dvds. win was at school. and we were downstairs watching tv and sleeping.

    around 6pm, caths and mikey became hungry. so mikey called shakey's and had pizza and mojos delivered here at home. after more than an hour (darn service sucks), the pizza boy arrived and mikey went out to get the foodie. when he went back to the house, he didn't notice he stepped on this cat pupu... eeew! hey that's my slippers he's using! and there was cat pupu everywhere... talk about yucky sight and yucky smell.

    caths: nakatapak ka ng pupu! yak!
    mikey: syet! kuha ka ng basahan biliiiiis!
    * and i was like, ok... what's with the panic mode? but i went ahead to look for a basahan.
    mikey: bilisan mo, baby!
    caths: teka, naghahanap na nga e!

    finally i found one. he ran to get it, moisten it, and in no time at all, he was running around the house like a mad man to wipe off the crap. totally taranta talga...

    caths: ano ba? bat ka ba natataranta?
    * no answer... continues with his hell-like linis movement
    * caths annoyed

    mikey: alcohol! penge alcohol
    caths: bat ka ba ganyan? ok lang yan wag ka magmadali

    * mikey ignores caths and goes ahead to make wisik the floor with alcohol. hello basbasan ba ang bahay namin? blessing ba itu?

    i dunno what's with the taranta moves but he simply said he didn't want my mom to go home and find the house in disarray... and i was like, ok lang naman yun, di ka naman papagalitan. but he insisted on having the mess cleaned up. whatever.

    the moment he finished the clean-up, inis na ko. he washed his hands, grabbed me in the kitchen area, and told me he's sorry for acting taranta, he's just not used to messing around in somebody else's home. haha... sya pa nagsorry for having cleaned up my place. funny. and sure enough, after a few minutes, mom and cecil arrived. he just winked and told me "i told you so". duh, para namang papahiya sya ng mom ko for spreading cat pupu no! kulit... :) but cute.

    last friday, a few hours before heading off home, the office girls didn't have that much office work to do. so we were doing our usual activity - magbrowse ng mga tao sa friendster - after all, that IS our only form of social life. poor earthlings. don't deprive us of that. hihihi.

    so there we were, making the usual comments, "ganda ni ano", "ay di kagandahan", "bat ganun yung ano nya?". the works...

    then, there was this agent guy who went to the IT room (this is our room too) to ask for a headset from john and alex (2 other IT guys). he was kinda friendly. a few minutes passed... and then we totally forgot he was in the room.

    maria (aka maricor) was browsing wolf's (not his real name) friendster. we have this thing for wolf's gf... as in we find her really pretty and cute and we swear if we were a guy, we'll hit on her. hehe. all of a sudden, maria blurted out, "ate maj, eto yung gf ni wolf na gusto naming tirahin ni caths".

    note... at this point, the friendly agent-asking-for-headset guy is still in the room. imagine the shock he might have experienced when he heard that. at the corner of my eye, i saw him glanced wildly at our direction. hehehe... "crazy lesbians" he might have thought. great impression. hanep. hihi.
