babe just turned 24

and so it came to pass that she is once again older than i am. hehehehe...

you see banne and i only get to be of the same age for 5 months in a year (may-september). the rest of the year, i can technically call her "ate." or if i want to be a jerk, "manang." ngyak ngyak ngyak.

in celebration of 24 years of you, here's switchfoot:

for pictures and more, head on over to my girl's post. i don't have pictures because i didn't bring a cam. but i can remember every scene in the party. it's hard to forget the image of a kid called "Double-D" knocking over the lettering in banne's butterfly cake. or girls (too many of them) asking for pink balloons. and a kid named "Taboy" (sounds like that) giving me a blow-by-blow account of Pixar's Presto. it was the craziest party i've ever been in. i loved it.

see you around babe. don't go wandering ahead too much, i'll catch up with you in 8 months. but sure is nice to be the younger one again. that means i can get away with being naughty. :P

vanessa, banne, van, daria, dharma, quinn, mama ni Pi, biatch, ako G.B., Sunday school teacher, mariah, nun, violinist, NKE-er, drawer of uber-thin girls with short skirts, heart-breaker, best friend, lover, whoever you chose to be at the moment, i love you. i love all of you.

serious backlog

to all our filipino muslim brothers and sisters, thank you so much for making tomorrow a holiday! there is absolutely nothing better than a mid-week rest-day. it's way better than a long weekend, if you ask me. reminds me of UP's wednesday "wash day," not that we wear uniform the rest of the week.

nyway, i have some serious blogging to do. i have 3-5 posts in my mind which i never got published. and since it's a no-work day tomorrow, i'll blog til i drop tonight.

Road Scene 4

have you ever tried driving with an audience?

these guys watched me drive the whole stretch of the Jagobiao slope. i couldn't get pass them because of heavy traffic. they made me feel conscious. i had to put more effort on how i stop and go or they'd think i drive like an amateur. ngek ngek.

at last, my brain explained

Your Brain is 40% Female, 60% Male

You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...

You never like to get feelings too involved

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Happy Birthday, Ruiz!!!

last saturday was gladys' birthday party. you will all remember her as the filipina who claims to be brazilian in a vision i once received. now, she doesn't look anything like her former self. from the resident tabachoy, she reinvented herself to something like paris hilton. when gladys hilton died, she reincarnated into someone curvy-sultry, like anna nicole smith. these days, she's the girl with the bangs, or as an old classmate would describe her, 'lami na kaayo!!'

piglet cake.

and then we decided to have our pictures taken in different combinations:

that's I-Bartlett. (UP High School first year, Bartlett section, in case you don't know.)

I-Benton. in first year, i once planned to trap banne behind the lockers. as i was pushing about 300 lbs of locker cabinet to trap her, she decided to escape. she was promptly squeezed between the wall and the cabinet. i don't think she cried, she just really hated me. nyahahaha!

II-Bocobo!!! we performed Small House of Uncle Thomas (from the Yul Bryner original The King and I). menguito: scientific dog. brian: lyre operator/pa-or-or. aby: prompter. maumau: Elisa. gladys: dancer. ngyak ngyak.
