Lately

I have had the strangest feeling… Haha! So what have I been up to lately? I just finished my client’s album and I’m now preparing to do some scrapping done. I’ve also been organizing my digiscrap stuff and I’m still a long way to go before I’m done, they just keep piling up. Haha! And then I’ve been busy with Facebook… I found long lost relatives there and we’re keeping up with each other’s lives. And I’ve had another dream last night… Some guy was holding my hand and he wouldn’t let it go. I actually woke up feeling good. Hmmm… who could he be? But I do recognize the hand…

Weird Dream

I’ve been having a lot of dreams lately and most of it were not good. I wonder why… Here’s the one I had last night. You know who suggested sana daw I went back to sleep, it might turn good. I actually did. My nephew woke me up to tell me that breakfast was ready and I went back to sleep again…

I was inside a classroom and we had a surprise quiz. I didn’t know the answers to the questions and funny thing was, they writing it on the board and I didn’t copy it. I only realized that the answer were written on the board when they were erasing it already. I was so worried daw and ashamed that they’d find out that my paper is almost blank. Funny because IRL, I wouldn’t care. And then when I was waiting for the next question, I suddenly couldn’t hear anything. It turned out that I (still sitting on my chair) was already outside the room and the doors were closed. So I wondered how I got there because I couldn’t remember standing up and going out. So I waited for somebody to go out of the room and the teacher did and my best friend from high school. They wouldn’t answer my question and they escorted me back inside the room as if they were protecting me and promised they’d explain everything to me later on. Yun pala two of my classmates, a guy and a lesbo, fought over me. Why? Nobody knew. I could see in my dream that the lesbo was stealing glances at me so maybe she liked me or something like that. The funny thing is the guy wasn’t talking ot me. He didn’t even looked at me. It was like he was avoiding me. I didn’t know why din. And pag magkakasalubong sila nung lesbo, magtititigan lang sila ng masama. And then the room changed na. We were in a room daw, my classmates and I and the teacher, na parang sala. Pero same situation pa din, they were still protecting me but this time from the lesbo na lang. The guy was still in the room and hindi pa din niya ko pinapansin. And then the lesbo was in the next room pero may mga windows so we could still see each other. Hindi niya na ko masyado tinititigan but I could feel her staring at me when I wasn’t looking.

Weird isn’t it? And I wasn’t even thinking when I went to sleep last night. I know the people in my dream IRL except for the teacher… I know her but couldn’t pinpoint who she is. And yep you know who was there too… dun na sa last part…

I Don’t Give A Damn!

I talked to a “friend” today and it made me confirm my thoughts… I’m unwanted. It’s uber hard but I have to swallow my pride and admit it to myself and simply accept. And like the immortal words of Lady Galadriel “I shall now diminish.”

Would it be bad if I change my mobile number and not inform them? Maybe I will but only a couple of them. And only one of them knows my landline because we also changed it when we changed our internet provider. Bad ba? I don’t really care… I’m not a care bear! Haha! I don’t give a damn! And with this I leave you all with this song… my song for the week…

Bad Reputation
by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

I don’t give a damn about my reputation
You’re living in the past, it’s a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that’s what I’m gonna do
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me

And I don’t give a damn about my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I’m only doing good when I’m having fun and I don’t have to please no one
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me. Oh no, not me

I don’t give a damn about my reputation
I’ve never been afraid of any deviation
And I don’t really care if ya think I’m strange, I ain’t gonna change
And I’m never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me. Oh no, not me

And I don’t give a damn about my reputation
The world’s in trouble, there’s no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say, it never gets better anyway
So why should I care about a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me. Oh no, not me

I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
You’re living in the past, it’s a new generation
And I only feel good when I got no pain and that’s how I’m gonna stay
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me. Oh no, not me. Not me
Not me!

Lost Earrings & Conspiracy

I forgot to mention that I lost my earrings in A’s bro’s house. That pair was very dear to me because it was given by my friend Che. I know I lost one in the bathroom and then I took off the other one but couldn’t remember where I put it. The next day, A’s bro gave me one piece but he couldn’t find the other one. So, I put it in my pocket and when I got home, it’s not there anymore. Hay buhay…

Anyway, on another story… I feel like A and his bro conspired against me. Haha! It’s like “Ok, I’ll take her pictures and then you post it on the net.” Mind you, it’s not nude photos. Hahaha! A took my pic when I was throwing up and then the other day, I checked my friendster account and saw that his bro added me to his friends’ list. Then when I checked his profile, I saw he posted all the photos from the party including all my solo drunk photos. Haha! Tama ba naman yon? But it’s okay because I’ll be posting them anyway. Haha!

Productive Day

It’s been a productive day for me today. I finally got the albums and delivered it to my client. Then I also made a couple of scrap pages but I can’t post it yet. I also finished half of my client’s album and hopefully I’ll be able to complete it by Thursday, that is if I’ll be home early. I also posted the photos from Ading’s Alcoholympics 2008, you can find it here. That’s a lot already for me and I’m so happy with all that I’ve done.

Tomorrow is a friend’s birthday. I’ll post about it when I get back on Thursday, hopefully with photos too. TTFN!

Beer

by Itchyworms

Nais kong magpakalasing dahil wala ka na
Nakatingin sa salamin at nag-iisa
Nakatanim pa rin ang gumamelang
Binalik mo sa kin nang tayo’y maghiwalay
Ito’y katulad ng damdamin ko
Kahit buhusan mo ng beer ayaw pang mamatay

Giliw, wag mo sanang limutin
Ang mga araw na hindi sana maglaho
Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano
Lahat ng ito’y nawala nung iniwan mo ‘ko kaya ngayon

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ang beer na ito o ang pag-ibig mo

Nais kong magpakasabog dahil olats ako
Kahit ano hihithitin, kahit tambutso
Kukuha ako ng beer at ipapakulo
Sa kaldero’t lalanghapin ang usok nito
Lahat ay aking gagawin
Upang hindi ko na isiping nag-iisa na ako

——————–

Last Saturday was Ading’s birthday party. A and I were supposed to meet in Galleria at 8pm and he was late. I texted him around 7:30 pm to ask where I would wait for him and he didn’t respond. It was already 8 pm and he still wasn’t responding… I got a little worried so I called him at home. His mom answered the phone and said he left the house around 2pm and when I asked if she knew where he went, she said “secret.” Haha! Then I called M and asked if he knew where Awas and he said A told him he’d meet me in Galleria and thought he was already there. Sus! Yun pala his phone was on silent mode and he didn’t hear it when I called. So he arrived around 8:20 then we went to Ading’s party in Valle Verde 3. G and Gari were already there, I introduced him to them and inuman na! There was a mini bar and they were serving shooters in different colors, what exactly were there in those drinks I never knew. Haha! we started drinking draft beer and after a while I started going to the bar to get some shooters and brought it back to our table. A and Gari tasted some and described it as Albatross and all the other air fresheners, meron pang My Shaldan and Aqua Net. Haha! Of course they were just trying to gross me out but it wasn’t effective. The shots actually tasted good and most of it, you wouldn’t even taste the alcohol in it. Sobrang halo-halo ininom ko, all I could remember were tequilla, vodka and lambanog… and of course my ever reliable SMB draft beer. There was this brown thing pa that looked like chocolate and they made me drink a tequilla slammer and one flaming shot. And the bartenders were nice, they were patient enough and kept repeating their concoctions because I’d ask them over and over and kept forgetting. Haha!

Ading was so funny. She kept singing and would call people on the mic and say different funny comments like “B, o upo ka lang dyan” and meron pang one time “A, you look bored. B kiss mo muna!” Haha! Kakahiya! Para siyang nagro-roll call and nobody dared sing on the mic except her and a few close friends who didn’t show their faces while singing. And after awhile don na ko sa bar umiinom. The bartenders would give me different kinds of shooters and there’s this girl named Richie, nilalaseng yata ako… pa-shot ng pa-shot pero once lang niya ko sinabayan. Haha! Funny thing was A knew how much shooters I had… he counted it and he was able to even if I was way over to the bar and he’s on our table. I had daw at least 30 shooters. And when they were already closing the bar, the waiters were transferring the leftovers in glasses and I drank pa daw one whole glass, I don’t know which one or what flavor, hindi ko na siya actually naalala. Basta alam ko lang I spent too much time on the bar. Haha! Kaya ayon laseng.

We were the last ones to leave the party, kwentuhan muna with Ading, a little senti but it was still fun. I missed those guys sobra! And then AA and I went home. The next day, when A woke up he saw my clothes from the night before scattered on the floor. He laughed at me and said pati clothes ko laseng. Haha! Then he had to leave early because his brother would be attending a wedding and he’s going to use the car. I walked him to his car and that’s when he told me how much shooters I had. Natawa talaga ko kse binibilang niya!

I hope this time I’ll be able to post photos. I don’t have photos when DA and I met last month. I didn’t bring my camera then and he lost his camera in the airport. Sayang! But this time I asked Ading to send me hi-res copies of the photos so hopefully I’ll be able to share them with you.

On Wednesday, I’ll be going to A’s house for his birthday. I’ll help him prepare the food so I’d be there early, after lunch siguro. And of course sleepover ako because malamang senglot na naman ako. Haha! Medyo shy lang ako because I think I’ll be the only one from our barkada who will be there and the rest will be A’s friends from their village, lahat sila puro boys. Okay lang, I think they’d seen me drunk na din mga twice or three times. Haha! I hope pumunta din si Doc.

TTFN! Til my next drunk tale!
