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…

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. AA 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 AA was there too… dun na sa last part…

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.” My so-called friends only remember me when they need something from me while I try my best not to do that to them. And thinking about it makes me wanna throw up. Nope, I’m not drunk… I’m very much sober…

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! For them, 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!

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.

So, tomorrow’s the day… AA’s birthday. I’ll post about it when I get back on Thursday, hopefully with photos too. TTFN!

I forgot to mention I’ve got a bruise on my right knee. Haha! Katangahan really. I missed one step on my out of TitoPabs’ room and fell down. I didn’t see it because I was too drunk.

I have no LP entry for today… my mind is blank and I really can’t think of anything that suits the theme for this week. Hopefully an idea will still crawl on my mind so I can still post an entry before the next one.

Anyway, I’m a bit busy right now and I’m still behind on a couple of projects. I’m just too lazy these past few days. Maybe I need an incentive like some Miami Heat tickets for me and my friends. Haha! Just kidding! I don’t even have visa, meaning I couldn’t go to the states. Anyway, I promise I’ll update this blog as soon as I get my hands free. I still owe some of you a few tag, I’m sorry!

I just finished talking on the phone with my best friend Jing and she told me a sad news… DaWave’s mom died. This is so sad! I never got the chance to meet her because she’s based in London but DaWave always told us stories about her. And I remember DaWave would always tell us na ubusin yung food namin sa plate kase magagalit mom niya. Funny no? Pero that’s how she had been part of our lives… yung mga pangaral niya sa anak niya napapasa na din sa ming magkakabarkada. Sana talaga I got the chance to meet her, I’m sure she’s one classy lady. And even though I didn’t meet her, it felt like I somehow know her and felt close to her.

And I’m kinda scared because two months ago I dreamed that a few people died. I didn’t know who they were in my dreams but I’m cared because almost always when I dream about something like this, I’ll find a few days later that someone really died. And even if I know who it was in my dream, it is not the same person in real life so I really had no way of telling who it is. And 5 people already passed away since that dream… scary. I really hate it when that happens.

Sorry for the lack of update here… I’ve been busy these past few weeks and still backlogging in my work. I still have two more albums to complete for my client and haven’t started on it. Anyway, I’m just so happy when I logged in to my friendster account last night, I haven’t checked it for a couple of weeks and saw that two of my closest friends are there! One is a close friend from college and she just had her account and the other one is kinda like a college sweetheart (haha!) whom I’ve lost touch for some years now. Maybe God is giving me a chance huh? I hope so and I’m really looking forward to seeing him again very soon.

Hmmm, I’m thinking of getting more creative with the code names here in my blog instead of using just initials, I know it is very confusing… so let’s call him Enrique. I think I already referred to him to a couple of my posts as QS. Anyway, he was one of my crushes during my college days but I didn’t pay much attention to him because of CharlieBrown. CharlieBrown is AA, that’s the code I used when I was in college because the day I realized that I really like him, he was sitting beside a Charlie Brown poster. So, back to Enrique, this guy’s a major flirt! And I’d always flirt back! Haha! I first met him on a trip to Laiya, Batangas. He was always by my side because he was curious why I was sometimes quiet and would just stare on the beach. O diba mysterious daw? Haha! Anyway, despite being a flirt, he is also such a gentleman. I remember we went to this climb one time, it was dinnertime already and I was helping my other friend pack her bag and Enrique saved me some food because he knew na mauubusan ako. So sweet, isn’t he? And it rained while we were climbing and he was so careful not to let me slip. That was when our moonshine activity took place and he was the one who stripped all the way! Haha! (Read this post if you still haven’t.)

Then a couple of years ago, he and my friend Cherry became officemates. He’d always ask her to set up a lunch or dinner date with me but I’d always decline because that time I was already in my hybernating period. Then he moved to another company and that’s when I lost touch with him. I couldn’t contact him through his cellphone numbers and even his landline isn’t working. He has 2 friendster account but hadn’t opened it for about a year or so and I was losing hope. I was thinking he’d lost his password that’s why he created a second account. Then a few days ago was his birthday and I thought maybe he’d check his account because he created both his accounts on a July. So, thinking of the pattern I thought maybe he’d check it this tim, since it is July… and he did! He finally added me as a friend but he hasn’t responded to my message yet. I’m really hoping he will because I really miss him! He is, after all, one of my closest friends. And I’m also hoping that this time he’ll stay… even if just as a friend. Mas kaya kong maging close friend siya kesa kay CharlieBrown.
So do you like the new codenames? Haha! So now it’ll be like this:

AA = CharlieBrown, CO = Carl-O, MC = Macky, MrsMC = Cathy, CB = Chelo, JT = JimmyBody, DA = DaWave, OC = Audrey, MB = MickeyMouse, DocMR = Mikee.

Ok ba sa mga codes? Those are most likely their real names with a little twist, except for CharlieBrown of course. It would be funny if his real name is CharlieBrown, wouldn’t it?

To Litz and Zanne: Thank you so much for your concern girls! Don’t worry, from now on I won’t be drinking too much na especially when I’m depressed. I know napapadalas inom ko for the past few months and I’m also aware that I have the tendency to be an alcoholic kaya medyo hinay-hinay na din ako.

Next year will be the 10th year anniversary of my travel to Palawan and I really really wanted to go back there. My friend and I were planning to go there this year but it won’t push through anymore because she had an emergency and was forced to use her vacation leaves. So, I thought that I might as well still go there even if I have to travel alone… I was planning to travel alone anyway, but of course company would always be welcome. I really have to do planning very carefully for I really have a very limited budget, and I’m still planning to buy a DSLR before going on any major trip.

What I have in mind is to go to Coron this time, since I wasn’t able to go there last time. My itinerary includes island hopping, safari tour at the Calauit Game Preserve & Wildlife Sanctuary, Culion Island tour and of course just bumming around the beach, kayaking and snorkeling. The Island hopping will include trips to Lake Cayangan and Barracuda Lake. The Culion Island tour includes trips to the museum, church and Spanish Fort Remains. Sounds pretty exciting isn’t it?

Now about the accommodations… What I don’t like about my country is that not everyone is tech savvy so there are actually a lot of businesses which don’t have their own website. Which reminded me of what my co-worker said before… “If it’s not on the the net, it’s not on Earth!” Haha! And this is just hard for me because I really want to see how a place looks like before going there, you know so I won’t get disappointed. I’ve searched online for hotel reservation sites like IslandsAccommodations and AsiaHotels but their hotel lists are very limited. Good thing I bumped into HotelsCombined and it has an extensive lists of good hotels in Palawan.

So, what are my choices? I’d love to stay in Amanpulo! I mean, who wouldn’t? The place is really gorgeous and it is awarded as the best resort in South East Asia! But I couldn’t afford it. Haha! And even if I could, I guess I’ll just spend my money on other things, maybe on another trip to another exotic place. My next choice is Club Paradise in Dimakya Island. But I’m really thinking about this one because almost everyone I know who goes to Coron stays here. If you’re looking for comfort then this place is perfect. But it’s really not for me. So, my perfect choice is… Sangat Island Reserve! This place is really for me and when I found out about it I really fell in with it! It is an extraordinary resort concept which will change the way travelers think about and enjoy vacations by providing guests with a relaxing natural experience as an antidote to their stressful ‘high-tech’ everyday life. Very me! And their rates are very practical and even their guided tours are cheaper than what other resorts offer.

About the budget… I’m guessing I’ll be needing at least 30k if I want to do everything that I wanted to do. Of course it will be cheaper if I have company but I’m preparing for the worst. Haha! I’m also planning to take a ferry one way and a plane the other way. By the way, did you know that Super Ferry has tripid fares? You get about 50% off their regular rates if you pay at least 2 days in advance. Good deal isn’t it? I’m planning on staying there for at least three days. I’ve already checked the schedules and here’s what I’ve come up with for 3 days and 2 nights stay

Option 1:
Friday ETD 7:20 am | ETA 8:20 am (Asian Spirit aka spirit ka na lang pagdating mo! Haha!)
Sunday ETD 10:45 pm | ETA 11:59 am (SuperFerry talagang trip kita!)

Option 2:
Friday ETD 7:10 am | ETA 8:20 am (SEAIR)
Sunday ETD 10:45 pm | ETA 11:59 am (SuperFerry)

Option 3:
Friday ETD 5:45 pm | ETA 7:00 am Saturday (SuperFerry)
Monday ETD 4:50 pm | ETA 6:00 pm (SEAIR)

Can you can tell I’m really obsessed in planning this trip? Haha! I really want this to push through… I’ll make it happen! Yeah, baby! That’s the spirit! Now… how to raise my fund? More rakets please!!!
