ok maybe 1 only. getting lazy!

what's worth sharing.

so i know i haven't updated this since god-knows-when, i think a month, so i'll just try to update you about what's been going on in my life so far. the first day back in school, and other events worth sharing. my first day was fine. i saw all my friends, well except for dyan and kevs who were absent that day. i guess you can consider it fine, except for the part where my classmates voted me as muse. yah. seriously. can you believe it? but i really think last year's better than this year, partly because of the ZLL revisions. for instance, we're not allowed na to wear any colored shirt. all we're allowed is a plain white shirt. ugh. also, last july 1, there was this yfc event called "highschool high". i was allowed to go, and i really planned on it. but due to an annoying situation, i wasn't able to come. long story. and lastly, the most nerve-wracking news. i was chosen as a representative for student council! hah. didn't the whole sophomore body notice that i'm not student council material? but i guess winning it could add to my extra-curriculars. hah.

that's just about it. am too lazy to write other un-important details. ta-tah!

second time...

...at mall of asia.

QUICK SUMMARY.
that was june 7. my first was last june 3, with grandma & my cousin. we hadn't really explored the mall that time. we just had lunch at burgoo & a banana split at crepes & cream. a must-try! anyway, this time, i was with my family. we went to the dept. store to buy school stuff. then, we ate at pho hoa. daddy checked out some stuff at ace hardware. we just explored the first floor. next time nalang daw yung second floor. haha. it was really that exhausting, believe me. lastly, we had dinner at aristocrat. on the way home, i started feeling itchy. i just shrugged it off and decided to take a bath at home. after bathing, the itching still hadn't stopped. i tried sleeping, but it was no use. finally, when i couldn't take it anymore, i crept to my parents' room and woke my mom. i know, it was an ungodly hour, around 3 am. but i couldn't sleep! my mom looked at it, and applied powder. she told me to go to sleep and that she'll look at the rashes again tomorrow.

THE NEXT DAY.
the rashes were still there. mother gave me a celestamine tablet for my allergy, & a bottle of canesten lotion for the rashes. thankfully, it finally wore off.


i have to admit, i really don't know what triggered the allergic reaction. all i know is that i somehow acquired it in 1 of the restaurants we ate at at mall of asia: pho hoa, where i had about two spoonfuls of seafood noodle soup & mango crepe ice cream; or at aristocrat, where i had pork barbecue & java rice (w/ java sauce). hmmm. maybe it's the java sauce. but i eat peanuts! my dad even joked that maybe i was allergic to mall of asia, and that maybe i shouldn't go there again. haha. very funny dad. seriously, he theorized that maybe i was allergic to the herbs & spices used in the soup in pho hoa. you see, pho hoa is this vietnamese restaurant where they serve healthy food. even the crepe was weird!

it is really annoying. having allergies.

I AM REALLY DREADING GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

off to batangas. AGAIN.

ya, you saw that right. AGAIN. but thankfully, not to the same location in Batangas as before. 'coz i totally wouldn't come. but there ARE a lot of reasons why i wouldn't come.

- my sister is not coming since she has finals the next day and needs the time to study.

- i am tired of the beach. haha. senseless huh?

- i DO NOT want to be as dark as the night sky! especially since classes are nearing.

- i will get bored there.

but, all of these i proved wrong. but yeah, i did get a bit tanned, but who cares? anyway, here's what happened in our escapade at laiya, batangas.

THE NIGHT BEFORE:

m'parents fetched me from grandma's, we attended mass at san beda, then went home. but, the big deal was, it was raining. cats and dogs. so m'parents (shortcut 4 'my parents'!) had second thoughts on continuing the outing the next day. no, we weren't going by ourselves. m'parents former office mates from pal-slash-friends (adults have lots of friends. which i can't understand.) were coming with us. so call call call. turns out, it wasn't raining in laiya. the weather was perfectly fine there. so, problem solved.

THE NEXT DAY:

mother woke me at 4.30am. ugh. is there no justice in this world? i felt like i was going to school. seriously. so i took a bath (basically to wake my senses and soothe my frazzled nerves. haha.), had breakfast, and went directly to the car. somehow i managed to carry some of the stuff. good thing i packed my stuff the night before. of which, i still hadn't unpacked my stuff from my stay at grandma's. anyway, mother told me that the meeting place will be the nearest shell gas station at SLEX. when we arrived, as usual, chika-chika. all the time, i just stayed in the car. once all cars were there, road trip! SLEX-Calamba exit (i think.) -STAR tollway-lipa-laiya. we passed the laiya coco grove, where we stayed last summer. then, finally, i was able to stand firmly on the ground. haha. but not before we got lost and all that. long story. anyway, once the cars were safely ensconced, we again boarded another mode of transportation. this time, a small boat. one boat was for the bags and the food, another was for the passengers. that was at about quarter after 10. a short ride and we arrived at the place. we were the only ones in the place! heaven. eat eat eating time! i like, ate with my bare hands because i can't find plastic utensils (were there even utensils brought?). haha. the effect of laziness. after eating, i just looked for a spot where i can read (good thing i brought books. the only catch? both were boring.) and not be disturbed by anyone. mother was forcing me to go talk to the three daughters of ninang del's cousin (i think.) and i just couldn't bring myself to do it because i AM NOT a social person. i don't even know how to start a conversation with people i barely know! so i just ignored my mom. haha. evil me. after reading a good chapter or two, i changed into my swimsuit and decided to go for a dip. the water was perfect-not too cold, not too warm. i must have enjoyed my dip, 'coz i didn't even realize that it was noon. good thing i didn't burn. haha. at about 5, a boat fetched us from the island. it took 3 trips, back and forth, for all of us to go back to the main island. we just ate dinner at SLEX. arrived in manila at past ten in the evening.

i totally enjoyed, even if i did burn. just a little. =D

mother's day: not so perfect as i thought it would be.

i always thought that special occasions would go just as planned. this year's mother's day, was, well, should i say... perfectly planned.

but i thought wrong.

the day started out just like an ordinary day. i woke up, went downstairs, greeted my mom, and had breakfast. i even watched tv. then, next thing i knew, my mom was calling me for lunch. after lunch, my sister and i even raced to the bathroom, to take a bath. i know, we're so pathetic. haha. but she was faster, so i just gave in (do i have a choice?).

since it's sunday, we first went to church at st. jerome in alabang. shortly after the mass began, i was already pissed. people were passing by us just like we were stone statues there. they didn't even bother to say 'excuse me'. didn't they realize that mass is ongoing?! at first, i just let them through. but i have to admit, i am really short-tempered. at times. and i am not in a good mood that time. the second time, i pretended that i didn't hear them and i didn't move. haha. i am really bad! but it's really annoying and irritating. i couldn't focus on the mass at hand. grrrr.

after what seemed like ages, the mass ended. we officially celebrated mother's day at red crab, at atc. gawd, the line in the parking ticket booth was unmistakable. it is really mother's day. thankfully, eventhough mommy hadn't made reservations, we still snagged a table. supposedly, grandma will join us there. we like, waited for half an hour. and she's only living in alabang hills! but due to limited parking space, she just called my mom to tell her that she's heading home now because she couldn't find a parking space.

but, the healing forces of crabs soothed my nerves. the entire meal was delicio-so!! mmm.

and, as i think of that day, it wasn't so bad after all. =D
