Rockin' The Shores and such...

I'm pretty stoked. Good things have been finding their way to me. First off, I'll be heading to Boracay for a much-needed vacation! The great thing about this is that I don't have to spend a dime! Well, almost. But that's not the point. The point is that I need to re-charge and the timing for this trip is purrr-fect!

All hail, Paradise!

Screeching To A Halt.

I've been burning brain cells last week thinking what gadget I should buy next, a digi-cam or a new mobile phone? At first I was all set on buying this Nokia music phone but my sister suggested I go for Wi-fi ready phones like o2, Blackberry or an iPhone.

"To bai or not to bai, that is the question"

Luckily, another friend assured me that if ever I decided to settle for an iPhone then her boyf would gladly place an order in the States for me. But what about my digi-cam? Thing is, if I choose to buy an iPhone then my monies won't be enough for me to buy a digi-cam. I mean iPhone's a camera phone too but with only 2 megapixel, it's a little underwhelming.

I don't know if I've just being sucked into the whole iPhone hype that's been storming the metro with the impeding arrival of the iPhone 3G mobile phone. Three days and counting, folks. Ghad, my life, so hard!

Anyhoots. That Boy told my friend he just broke up with his girlfriend of two years.

Shocking.

College Buds

Last Saturday, I met up with my college buds. Some of them I haven't seen for more than four years. Well, some were not able to make it save for Fly Boi, Ria and this gay dude. So yes, Fly Boi is back but it might be for the last time. He's Dubai-bound and is planning to get married soon. I'm happy for him simply because I saw how much he changed for this person.

I realized something while I was hanging out with them. One, it's true what they say about friendship, we picked up right where we left off even after all those years that we lost touch. Quite incredible, really. Second, I may have been too hard on Fly Boi. I respect him now and I'm glad I got to hang out with him before he leaves the Philippines. Third, I am sorry that I lost touch with them at all. Especially Ria. Krisna, Princess, Ria and I used to be so tight and seeing how we all drifted apart after we graduated made me a bit sad about how things turned out. But it's cool now since we began hanging out again.

I think Ria got a bit frustrated with me because I couldn't remember this person or that person, but it was fun trying to jog each other's memory of long-forgotten college people.Too bad I forgot to take pictures, dammit. But it was nice, just drinking beer, reminiscing old antics and sharing new tidbits about everyone's going-ons. I haven't had one of those in a long time. Re-connection is awesome, yo!

The night ended with Fly Boi taking each one us home and promising that he'd make us proud in Dubai.

Fly Boi Retarns!

Fly Boi: Eto, may joke ako. Anung tawag dito (points at the facial hair below his lower lip)
Tina: Errr... ano?
Fly Boi: Tsaka.
Tina: Eh?
Fly Boi: Bigote, Tsaka, Goatee.
Tina: Naks, yan yung tipong joke na kala ko namatay na nung circa 1990 pa ah. May C.R. ba sa loob?
Fly Boi: Bakit, nasusuka ka na ba sa mga jokes ko?

Paninindigan ni Hannah

Hannah: Nag-comment ang friend ni Lauren sa blog ko! (copy pastes the comment)
Tina: Sagutin mo.
Hannah: Hay nako. Ayaw kong patulan ang katangahan nila.
Tina: (reads the copy pasted comment) Tanga ba sha? Haller, obvious bang peke yung blog?! Ako sasagot. Teka.
Hannah: Sige! Ako din!

... toink!

"Hanging Out"

So. Yeah, we hung-out and I was pleasantly surprised that I had a good time. See, I know I said he does not "move" me and I'm not saying that he moved me a lot that night. Wait, that totally came out wrong, hahahaha! What I mean is simply this, he's not as boring as I first thought.

Oh...

Meh: Boy Meets Girl

Boy: Hey...if it's okay with you, wanna hang out with me this Monday?
Girl: Are you asking me out?
Boy: To answer your question... I guess... kinda.
Girl: You have a girlfriend.
Boy: That's why I said to "hang out".
Girl: Hmm... well, this is awkward.

Retarn Op Da Kambak: It's Ulcer, bitches!

The Ulcer returned witha vengeance. I was dead to the world at one in the morning when it struck me wide awake. The last time I had a very painful attack was four years ago when I was still slaving away at ABS-CBN. It's weird that for a person who loved nothing more than to stuff her face off, I acquired this kind of illness. It's ironic when you come to think about it.

Twitching in pain, I took three antacids that did nothing to ease the pain, my sister forced me to drink Nai Cha (Milk Tea) to neutralize the acids and when that didn't work, my sister was kind enough to rush me to the nearest hospital because she got tired of hearing me bawl like a bitch at the dead of the night.

The doctors confirmed what I already know. I got chided for dieting, not eating breakfast, drinking coffee and smoking. The worst thing was they wanted me to quit drinking coffee. I would've understood perfectly had they tried making reasonable suggestions instead. Like, oh, I don't know, quit smoking but nooo it had to be the coffee. Naturally, I can't do that. I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of spending the rest of my life in a mingraine-like haze, thankyouverymuch. At the very least, I forced myself to eat half a hash brown and one hopia this morning for breakfast.

I also discovered the magic of Hot Compress. It was awesome, really. I never really believed in the whole Hot Compress thing until that night when I put the compress on my stomach and the pain melted away. I gotta buy me some of those.

Also, I'm stuck popping pills to "heal" my innards and such.
