You're Katherine "Kiki" Harrison(Julia Roberts - 'America's Sweethearts')

Always the shoulder to cry on, you try to juggle the lives of those you care about while battling with your own. You have a beautiful smile, a wonderful sense of humor and charming wit, but often go unnoticed. Too many times others get the spotlight, but that's ok by you. You don't need the limelight, you just want that special someone to recognize you for the loveable and loving person you are.

You're booksy, artsy, and creative. You prefer toned down, subdued classic clothing to express your personality.

You do have a hard time expressing yourself outwardly, and often turn to some 'thing' for comfort, while you carry the brunt on your shoulders.

You're ambitious and professional and succeed at everything you tackle.

All in all, you're the rock.

a bit of this and that

i just donated blood yesterday. first time. the nurses were a bit concerned coz i have small veins. the needle was big, and they had to fill up a big bag (500cc? of my blood). but everything went well. no collapsed vein, it didn't hurt more than the usual, and i got a free t-shirt as a souvenir. i'm hoping to get a red cross card in the mail to use for next time. ;) but it's sad to hear that even if 90% of the (U.S.) population is eligible to donate blood, only 5% does it.

feels like christmas already! did some decorating this weekend, and i'm back to wearing layers and layers of clothing to keep me warm. even hook can't stand the cold - she now sleeps under the covers.

oh yeah, after more than a year of being out of it, i'm back in the sms world. it took several bunches of things to come up before i finally gave in and got a cellphone. the most frustrating of them all is paying $1.80 for getting ahold of my brother through a call box. really, i could've gotten a cup of coffee with that! hmp!

faces, places, spaces in between

finally! some of my pictures can now be viewed by clicking the appropriate link on my blog. took me so long to finish, coz my QA instincts kept on bugging me. pun intended. =p i had to select the pictures i wanted to share, upload them, organize and describe each one, and of course, run a test on how my pictures are going to be seen. i had to double check if the links worked, the pictures were showing just right, the captions had no errors on them, etc. OC!!!

some of the pictures refer to the bits i've already written about. happy browsing!

it's that simple

i just want to be with you, be where you are. =)

i'm just psyched with all these planning we've been doing for the february concert. of course, it's all about l.o.v.e. the program starts with depicting how sweet it is to love (and be loved by you). ;) then it goes on to the hardships that an individual inevitably encounters when in a romantic relationship. eventually, we seek for something better and more meaningful: the perfect love. this is the point where God's love is introduced in the concert. and in feeling all of His love going around, we hope for the audience to say (just as i have been repeating over and over again):

i just want to be with You, be where You are. =)

are you in love? i am in love! do you want to be in love?? =D
taglines from the concert teaser. will post it when i get the time. andun ako ;)

when it rains...

where was i? yes, wednesday. i actually got off work at 4:30pm (instead of the usual 6:00) coz there was some sort of protest scheduled for 5-11pm in our area. they closed the street near the federal building (wilshire blvd), which was only a few blocks from us. i planned on riding the bus, but ended up waiting for my brother at a nearby bookstore coz the bus route was also messed up. when i reached home, i only had around 15 minutes to freshen up and eat, since i had to go to the music ministry (MM) / script writing (SW) meeting. 'twas fun doing the vocal exercises. i wasn't supposed to be part of that, but the SW meeting didn't start right away, so i hung around with the MM for a while.

thursday afternoon, i had to take the bus again. as luck would have it, the 6:05 bus didn't come. i had to stand and wait in the cold for 40 minutes before a bus arrived. i got home at 7:40 and a few minutes later, i was picked up by my sfc household head coz we had a household (HH) scheduled that night. in atsca terms, HH head - cell leader; HH - prayer meeting. i got home at 11pm, did some chores, then chatted with a friend before finally curling up in bed.

today, another bus day. both to and from work. i had breakfast at starbucks since i rode the 7:30am bus and reached LA too early (8:35). later, another MM/SW meeting. tomorrow, service for the CLP. sunday, basketball/tennis/badminton. monday? haha, we'll see.

so how come i am able to write all these? my boss is out for a week and fortunately, it's not that busy at work. ;) ;) ;) i just feel so alive these days. =)

B-b-b-b-u-s-y

friday night, as planned, we went to knott's berry farm's halloween haunt. i paid $36 dollars to make a fool of myself by getting scared of all the fake monsters around the place. nadapa pa ko!! huhu.. but i had a great time! i think we were around 38 in the group, so you can just imagine how fun and crazy that could be. reminded me of my EK trip with friends before college graduation..

come saturday night, wow! i'm aching all over! i guess it's because of all the running and pushing we did. and of course, i've got a blue knee (c/o the monster who chased us silly). but that didn't stop me from getting up at 6:30 the following morning to play basketball and badminton with a couple of friends. YES, i played badminton!!!! =) grabe, i miss playing it on a regular basis! after that, my sister asked me to come to a dance practice for the WOW GK Concert. waaat?? ako, sasayaw?? but i couldn't say no, so there goes my lazy sunday afternoon.

monday, i wasn't feeling too good (just physically). but my boss chose that day for me to go outside and breathe some "fresh" air. UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) was just a mile away, and somebody needed a wireless pc card to be installed to her pc. so off i go, bringing a laptop with me to complete the getup. when i reached the client's apartment, it felt like i was back in my college days. this tall cute guy even opened the door for me. *kilig* ;) anyway, i remembered the times when i was walking around admu with a laptop on my shoulder, going from one point of the school towards another faraway point. i will definitely go to school again when the situation permits me to.

am i done? not yet! last night, i attended the first of a series of meetings that might make me a very busy girl for the next four months. an sfc concert is being prepared for early next year. i'm being asked to be part of the script writing team, but i'll be helping out with the audio visual team too. i actually made a short promotional video for it a few weeks ago. naks, i got to use my adobe premiere skills.. hehe. here's a dilemma (not!!) = later, i need to choose between going to the dance practice or to the script writing meeting. guess where i'm going?? hehe..

so, have i had enough? nuh-uh! even if i'm feeling a little queasy, i'm excited for everything that has happened, and for all things that are still to come! =)
