f1
will it be schumacher or alonso? schumacher's inching the gap but it was still kimi that made me cheer in the German prix...go mclaren! i'm not so crazy about f1 before and i feel like i don't have the right to since i thought it's really just reserved for those who can actually afford to race but come on you think all those people who suddenly show up during ADMU-DLSU games actually play or even understand basketball and that those who stayed up late watching the world cup share in Europe's passion for football? yeah, i don't think so too =)so a friend just told me that she's figuring out what to do with her life and i told her that it's hard for everyone nowadays...i wish i could stop figuring out myself and just let things be...i wish you well my friend and i hope you got my offline yahoo message =)
i can't wait for tomorrow's get together with friends! but as of now off to my july book first =)

post birthday
it was the right decision to spend my birthday in davao after seven years of celebrating it away from my family. this is not to say though that i didn't have seven years of happy birthdays. my roommates snicket, moms and lainey would always have something cooked up for me during my dorm birthdays. there was also grasche who happens to have the same birthday as me (and jlo as in jennifer lopez, hehe!) so how can she ever forget the birthday of her soul sister. my manila friends never fail to shower me with greetings and gifts but more importantly with the assurance of their love and support so a long distance phone call from my family would be enough to complete my birthday. however being with my brother, mother and father during my birthday brought in me a different kind of joy even if it just meant staying home the whole day watching the miss universe pageant (congratulations ate li an for winning miss photogenic!) and the SONA with my mother while waiting for my father and brother to come home for dinner plus there were my nieces and nephew who light up my life and my cousins who've been there forever =) i love you all and i'm missing you already! jonneroo and D surely made me feel less lonely courtesy of hap chan late dinner so thanks to you dears! =)i think if there is one thing i'll never ran out of, it's saying thanks so thanks again to everyone who made me feel their love during my birthday and even during the days after:
chaw for the first text...D for the first call...ekay and den for the conference call from singapore...cecilia for probably the longest call that day...ate dindin for the first gift and letter...B for the fab racing ecard (i love it soooo much just like the person who sent it!)...che for the longest ecard...snicket for the gorgeous blouse...my childhood friends april and kim for dropping by (better late than never you guys so thanks again!)...surprise greetings from long lost friends, friends who get in touch only on special occasions and acquaintances... and to the countless texts (including the unknown numbers that i will have to research on!), emails, friendster messages, ym messages and letters from everyone else=) you really made my birthday very, very happy! =)

presenting the philippine idol!
i didn't realize i was already having pms that's why i felt really tired these past few days but i still was able to make it through that philippine idol media launch. the highlight was probably asking for maverick and ariel's autograph for ruby, they were really nice and wacky. i'll post the photograph of the proof of my ka-jologsan when i have the time. right now i'm trying to pack my things for davao and my flight is at 4pm so i have to rush but not before thankig some people. thanks teppy for keeping me sane while in the office and for the scarf. thanks jonneroo for being my fashion stylist and snicket for being my fashion consultant. thanks cecilia for our venue and i hope they never volunteer me again because i don't want hassle anyone like that ever again. thanks to everyone who helped out that i may not have mentioned but who made sure that things were easy for me the days before and on the night itself =) D, get well soon and i hope you get here before jonneroo picks me up to bring me to the airport =)for everyone else, watch the philippine idol starting july 30 only on ABC5 IBA TAYO!

best friends weekend!!!
forgive me for my belated post about my weekend but i'm just so happy to have spent the weekend with my best friends. my globe phone crashed last friday and i still felt sick but as always the company of friends always makes me feel better. i spent saturday with my college best friend grasche watching mvp cup and of course eating at jollibee power plant afterwards. sunday was reserved for jonneroo at eastwood where he threatened me over lunch at pho hoa that if i moved to davao he will never visit his manila best friend anymore but later he changed his mind and said that he can still visit me if ever. hehe. that afternoon and evening we watched mvp cup with mama nelia and ate at cafe ten titas where i blew most of my money but then again food's always worth it. of course how can i forgot D so jonneroo dropped me off at seattle's best where i met up with D so we can walk home together and so i can play diner dash in her laptop. haha.it's the philippine idol press conference tomorrow. i'll thank people i need to thank after the event but i'm really hoping that it will be a success.

why i like rainy days
it's all because of D! staying in is the best thing to do when raining but not when you have cravings for chocolate!!! last thursday D was stuck in her apartment because she had no class. i knew she would not die of boredom even with her all caps text IM BORED. later that evening she got her share of action. clad in my friday clothes, D in her pambahay and armed with my all weather smart addict umbrella we ventured to 711 all the way to the other side of rockwell. it was fun at first with the drizzling rain. D suggests that we just buy in rustan's (light bulb! undoubtedly it's nearer) but then i gave her the "sure in that outfit look!" which made her shriek and both of us laughed at the realization that pambahay outfit is not a good idea when put side by side with power plant. then the storm suddenly made its presence felt but we looked funny as we kept laughing and walking slowly until heaven came into view, at last 711, that made me skip with delight. we took our time buying not just chocolates as originally planned (D even considered buying stationery, hmmm, things that boredom can do to you) eventually we went home with ice cream in hand (yes! i love ice cream in cold weather) and whole lot of other goodies including a gossip magazine! it was super duper happy day indeed =)(9:53 AM) ♥ tal

viva italia
so much for france winning the world cup. i missed watching the championship game because i stayed up until 2am watching world class tennis courtesy of federer and nadal. it was a good choice to watch that instead of watching zidane lose his temper. italy worked hard and they know they are worth that world cup trophy. nadal fought a good fight and i wouldn't be sad to see him win but federer proved that grass is his turf. staying in on a sunday was not a bad idea. i got to watch re-runs of shows i missed the previous week while munching on whatever food i can get my hands on, hehe. it's a new week and i hope it will be a good one. i'll make it a good one =)(11:42 AM) ♥ tal

saturday night live with j and ma
the heavy downpour yesterday made me feel sick. i actually like rains but when it rains like crazy just when you stepped out that's a different story. thankfully the interview with the bantay bata social worker reminded me that there are people with bigger problems than worrying about the rain. i made it home but i went straight to my bed to sleep. i texted jonneroo that i'm sick so he and mama nelia passed by my place after the wedding of two of their college friends. i was asleep then but i felt their presence, hehe. that's why i really miss j when he's out of the country because he spoils me a lot especially when it comes to food! he's always ready to lend a helping a hand and his long distance phone calls alwasy makes me feel better! now back to food, he told me i have to eat soup so the three of us trooped to north park. of course it can't be just some congee place because my two friends were fashionably dressed, i looked like a yaya but i didn't mind i was sick for crying out loud. i felt so much better afterwards. i'm guessing it was not much of the wanton soup but the care of j and the scandalous tidbits of ma. thank you guys for last night. i love my friends so much! now you know why my family need not worry about the fact that i am living alone away from home =)i missed the wimbledon finals because i couldn't stay awake, i'm glad amelia mauresmo won. acutally it's fine whoever won because it's both their first time...i hope federer wins but nadal's also cool, we'll see later...but france definitely has to win!
