<><><> yum yum yum! just ate baked ziti and lasagna from fazoli's!
<><><> watched up close and personal yesterday. i'd like to have tally atwater's (michelle pfeiffer) drive to achieve her dream. i wanna kick my lazy butt in shape!
<><><> why do people hate it when somebody dies in a movie? for me, there's nothing wrong with being given the whole picture, the good as well as the bad. coz reality is not all about the happily ever after.
<><><> i have this very old shirt that i love. it's already around 11yrs old, torn and disintegrating, but i know that i'd still be keeping it for a very long time. why? sometimes things are just the way they are, period.
<><><> happy feast day to st. ignatius! belated to st. benedict (july 11), and advanced to st. clare (august 11).
<><><> "go where you are most moved to love." - i don't remember whose quote. hehe

fine, let me answer the question
kumusta, you say?
here are just some of the weekend activities i've been busy with over the past few months:
07/15 to 07/17: enjoyed curling up in bed with a good book. umm, what's that book again? the one i was supposed to be reading throughout the said weekend? hehe..
07/09: went to the beach - fun! we were near the LAX airport, so we could see and hear the airplanes above us every few minutes. and i guess there were some leftover fireworks from the july 4 celebration, coz we saw several that night.
07/02: had friends over for dinner - sisig, bbq, coleslaw, baked mac. was sick, but still managed to eat a lot. yum yum!
06/24 to 06/26: went to sta. clarita CLP (christian life program) dedication on friday night, then to the las vegas dedication on saturday night. yeah, this was that vegas trip i wrote about in the summer bits entry.
06/18: officially became a member of SFC (CLP dedication). performed "the sound of music" in front of a big crowd (haha), and watched "sister act" & "beauty and the beast" as presented by my fellow new members.
03/12 to 06/11: attended CLP talks, as well as after-session gimiks wherever - bowling, birthday dinners, videoke nights, & just plain tambay wherever. there were a few "free" saturdays (meaning, no talks), but we always managed to get together.
case in point:
05/28 to 05/29: went to huntington beach & spent overnight at a hotel. see the highs and lows entry for details.
i can't remember any vacant weekend since march! oh well. i'm just going with the flow here. kumusta? go figure. =p

calling the attention of "li'l cute me"
who are you? in case you don't remember, you have a comment on one of my entries. please identify yourself, even if it's just through email or something. coz as a lot people already know about me, i don't like being kept in the dark. i don't want to be left hanging if i have the option of having something right away. for instance, if someone tells me that he/she has news, but will have to tell later, or will not tell at all, that's torture! don't mention anything if you're not going to give me the details! bitin e...
however, if it's something like waiting for the next harry potter book, that's ok. i'm excited about that coz i really can't do anything about it except to be at the mall as soon as the book is released. so that's exactly what i'm going to do this friday. ;)
in the case of the crisis in the Philippines, there are already too many voices. i can't afford to read and listen to each and every story, as well as create my own "reflection paper" on it. it'll just make me crazy. nothing for me to do but pray, especially since i'm so far away.
oh yeah, that's right. i'm writing this at home, on a work day. didn't feel like going. hehe... okay, my brother and i got really sick yesterday, and i was supposed to take the bus today since i feel better now. to cut the story short, i waited at the wrong bus stop, and decided to just go home and rest. so here i am. =)

summer bits
what if whenever you go somewhere, everything just goes according to plan, and you don't run into any kind of problems? when you're asked about the trip, what would you say? in contrast to all the usual "ok lang" answers, here are some bits for you...
what happens in vegas... june 2005
friday night, we made our way to vegas. little did we know that we'd be having a stop over in mojave (for we got lost), where all you could see was the highway, the grassy plains, and some rabbits every now and then. too late did we see not just one, but two rabbits crossing the road as we were passing by. splat! poor bunnies. =(
sunday afternoon, we struck out again. while on the freeway, one of our tires gave out. we had to change the tire and wait for help under the heat of the nevada sun. fortunately our other friends drove by at the time and saw us. instead of feeling bad about all of these, we just took the opportunity of taking pictures along the freeway to keep as souvenirs of our experience.
row, row, row your boat in galera... may 2004
my last beach outing in the philippines was when nine of my citech friends and i went to puerto galera. we stayed friday night at one place, so we could go to the bus station together at around 4am. when we reached galera, we had to wait for a few hours before we could settle in our rooms, because they were still being "prepared" (in other words, the rooms were still occupied).
i remember being hungry lots of times coz of our luck with the places that we went to for food ("mam wala na pong pork kebab..... wala pong hot water, iinitin pa po kasi.... break time na po namin, wala nang mags-serve.....").
still, i enjoyed shopping for tie-dyed pj's & anklets, snorkeling, strolling, people watching, and of course, eating that crushed ice thing with syrup, milk & chocolate.
on our way home, the waves were so big during the boat trip. most of my friends got scared and clung to one another for dear life. as for me, i was as calm as though i was at home, watching everything on tv. hehe..
