Home Sweet Home

We are finally moving to our new place. it's not as nice as the one were leaving but it'll definitely give us the peace that I have not had in the past month.

It's tiring, but I welcome it because I know that at the end of the frantic tasks of packing, unpacking and arranging, we will eventually call this humble place our new HOME!!

weird PDA scholar

I find LAARNI, one of the PDA scholars for 2008, really weird. At age 22, I think she's going through this MAJOR, and I mean MAJOR identity crisis. She's insecure and almost always feel that she doesn't belong. But sometimes she'd be so confident to run around like a child in the Academy, thinking it's cute (but, believe me, it's NOT --- SO NOT) or dance like Shakira in front of the other scholars.

I mean, it's nice to be around fun-loving people. They emit positive vibes around them. Ang problema kay Laarni, pag napagsasabihan siya, dinadaan niya kaagad sa iyak at iniisip na inaapi siya. Feeling pa niya, narrow-minded ang mga tao na pinagsasabihan siya.

Too bad, she was saved from being expelled this week after Chivas (one of my bets) was given the forced expulsion due to health reasons. SAYANG TALAGA!!! Nakakairita na kasi yung drama niya.

I just hope her stay will help her grow up and mature, or else, PDA should have psychological tests administered to all qualified competitors.

L.A. will be back

I got superexcited when I received a message from my best friend, Edgran, that L.A. will come visit us again on July 24. This time, she will be with Gener, her fiance (Congratulations!!) and will stay here for 20 days. I'm happy that I will get to spend quality time with my high school buddies once again. I just hope we will also get news about Apple and when she will be coming home as I miss my Badtz badly too. =(

Looking forward to a grand time with the gang next month!!

Happy Father's Day

I hate to admit it but I don't spend a lot of time with the only parent that I have -- my Dad. But last Sunday, June 15, was his very special day, and my brother's (RJ), too since he is a father to my energetic nephew, Kmart (Kenyon Martin Barranda Divina), who is turning two on July 6. So I took this opportunity to make him to feel special on Father's Day.

We (RJ, Josine and I) were supposed to surprise my Dad but he texted me last Thursday, asking me if we will come and visit him on Sunday. Knowing my Dad, if you told him that you will not be there, he will make other plans, so surprising him after he asked that question is really not a good idea. I think he appreciated the thought that we will be there, at least he has something to look forward to on Sunday.

Bought a cake. Texted everyone to make sure they're all ready. Dada wanted us to go straight to church and attend mass, sadly, we were late as usual. Thanks to Ceasar and RJ. =)

We arrived at around 5.30pm at Dada's place. To our surprise, pupunta daw kami sa Baliwag restaurant. Hahaha!!! Saya, i've been wanting to eat liempo and pinakbet for days.

We had a blast. It's so nice to spend time and eat good food with the whole family. We had pinakbet, liempo, lechon manok, shrimps, bulalo and lots of rice. At siyempre, refillable iced tea!!!

Arjay, Josine and Ceasar almost had a heart attack.. hahaha.. Lahat daw kasi masarap. At chocolate ice cream pa for dessert. Josine had 3 servings. Good luck sa t-shirt na naging tight fitting shirt after 45 minutes. Takaw kasi. Sabi tuloy ni Dada kay Josine, "ano ba yan, anak? Magkasing laki na kayo ng tiyan ni JV?!" Of course, Josine didn't take it as a compliment, so this weekend, she's taking another dose of her Biguerlai slimming tea. Haha!! Crazy gal!

We all walked home to aid in our digestion cause we're sooo stuffed. Ceasar and I watched PBA with Dada, while the others were either playing, chatting and watching another show.

It was a blast!! I am sure we all had fun -- that we're looking forward to our next special get-together -- Kmart's 2nd birthday!!

the day after

I feel better today. I feel that my anger towards this girl is easing its way out of my system. Of course, emotions do rush inside me when I see her, but it was a conscious decision on my part to not let her and her presence affect me or ruin my days. It takes a lot of effort and self-control to do this but if I was able to do this before, I'm sure I can do this again. Besides, she doesn't deserve my time and energy. I could allot them to more meaningful and worthy people and endeavors.

I'm looking forward to our new home. Actually, we all are. Living with her took a toll on all of us. We are fortunate that we don't have to live with her and her ways forever. She's almost like a burden you can't get off your back. I only enjoy a few pleasures in life -- and one of them is coming home to a peaceful place. I work hard and so I deserve to have a home that serves as my refuge from the demands of this world. I won't let anyone deprive me of that pleasure.

I know that someday I will find it in my heart to delete my entries about her. I will never forget but I know I can forgive -- someday. Or I'll keep them as a reminder of how "juvenile" (pahiram muna ng word ulit, Vayie! =D) the fight was and how embarrassing it was to be a part of it. Hopefully, we'll just laugh our hearts out while reading it, but I doubt it since I know how hurtful my words are. Still, I know someday, things will be better. We can no longer be friends, but hey, it's a small world, after all, there is still a big chance that we will bump into each other. I hope when that time comes, we can then share a smile.

So for now, dedma talaga!! Yoko ng away. Negative vibes should not be entertained. If she's still mad, I just hope she does it in silence.

For the next two weeks, we'll all be busy looking for a new place that's as good as where we live now but cheaper.

In 16 days, we will have peace, FINALLY!!
