Being able to stay beside the one you love is one of the privileges of a friend. – Usami Akihiko
A friend of mine contracted this famous illness that no anti-biotic could ever cure about a week ago; yes she got her heart broken. We chatted AIM and I listened to her rant, rave, and whine about this guy who’s giving mixed signals. Our conversation eventually led to her saying that she can’t be friends with him anymore otherwise how on earth can she move on. I told her the quote from above and she asked me how did you get over him. Huh! Good question …. I was thinking more in the lines of … am I really over him or was it just bravado or keeping face that had me say I am.
Then one thing led to another and dinner with her and him was set on a Sunday after my piano class. The moment I woke up on Sunday till the time I had to get ready for class I was debating whether I should go or not. Seriously I have not seen him for a year and though I’d like to think my heart is safe am not sure if that really is the case. Was I ready to test the waters? Or will I end up where I did four years ago?
When I saw him and when he saw me … it was spontaneous, nothing has changed we’re still friends and am glad. Am glad I didn’t make an ass of myself by telling him I can’t be friends with him anymore. Am glad that whatever emotional struggles I had I kept it under wraps. I survived dinner just fine and surprisingly found myself enjoying the company of these two people whom I haven’t seen for a year.
Someone used to tell me before … I may not have her as my girlfriend but at least I have her as a friend. At that moment that’s all that really mattered.
Creepy One,
Am just reminding you that my birthday is fast approaching and that you “should” buy me a gift! At least 2 years worth …. Hehehehe *peace*

I’ll be in Dumaguete tomorrow until Saturday with no access to internet (probably), so just text me!
Creepy
When it comes to job hunting no one knows the web better than Ellie. I mean she practically knows how to maximize her search on Google earning her the title, “surfing junkie”. When Kelly asked for help looking for Psychiatric Technician Jobs online she didn’t even blinked but just got onto it. In no time she was able to provide Kelly with a list of job postings she found on several job marketplaces.
A friend’s birthday is fast approaching and am faced with the typical dilemma of what to bring to her birthday party. I’ve been thinking about it for the last couple of days and I’ve decided to go with the safest choice there is and that is to pack one of those highly popular gifts baskets for her. Something like the photo below:

The end of the summer months is now fast approaching and soon the rainy days would come. We still have about a week to go and a friend suggested going on a camping trip as a last ditch effort to enjoy the remaining summer days. I am not sure where she intends to go but she has been checking out Lightweight Backpacking Tents online for the past few days and am wondering if she’s really that interested in the prospect of camping or in the prospect of getting a new tent. Oh well, let’s wait and see what happens.
I’ve asked a friend of mine whose good with photo impression and photo impact to create forum signatures for me. I sent her an email with the images I want and with the text I want her to use and then here’s the result, take a look:
Let’s call this collection … the men in my anime life lol bwahahaha
- Zero Kiryuu from Vampire Knight -
- Wufei Chang from Gundam Wing -
- Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing -
- Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi -
- Shikamaru Nara from Naruto -
- Quatre Winner from Gundam Wing -
- Omi Tsukiyono from Weiss Kreuz -
I should probably have included Hiei from YuYu Hakusho and Setsuna from Angel Sanctuary but let’s just say I still have a bit of shame left to impose to my friend to create tons of signatures. LOL.
I have always been fascinated with the idea of capturing the beauty of nature. I managed to buy my own dslr a Canon camera a couple of months back and now I am planning to go South of Cebu and take photos to my hearts content. I’d still have to ask a friend to accompany me though and discuss transportation options. I look forward to taking tons of snapshot of the beach, the people and the vast expanse of green … green as far as the eyes can see.
A friend of mine whose birthday is fast approaching has been dropping off hints on what he’d like to get for his birthday. It has been our tradition to celebrate the birthdays and give presents since 2006. What he wants is one of those bushnell binoculars and Lucy suggested that a week before his birthday we go check it out at the mall and buy it. Expenses would then be divided amongst the 5 of us, that should make him very happy.
Losing weight has been an ongoing issue for me and a friend of mind. Without us noticing we seem to have gained several pounds overnight and the result is downright scary. A friend used to ask are there really diet pills that work? We have researched the web for these so called pills and most of the reviews we found were all positive. So positive that it didn’t seem real and we ended up deciding to lose weight the right way.
Halloween is fast approaching and a friend of mine has been planning her own Halloween party. To create her party invitation she chose to use postcards with Halloween themes to work on. She told us that she went to several shops but realized that most of the designs are very common and generic so she ended up searching the web for a post card printing company. She already has the postcard design and needs to have them printed in high quality.
Online shopping has made things a whole lot easier. Instead of dressing up to go to the mall you can just sip coffee in your pjs while browsing your favorite shopping store online. With a simple click of the mouse you would be able to buy whatever catches your fancy and have the items delivered to your doorstep. A good friend of mine receives womens clothing catalogs on her email on a monthly basis from her favorite online store. She has been buying all of her clothing online since 2006 when she first discovered the job of online shopping.
A friend of mine from college sent me a message over at Facebook asking if I have the following movies:
1. Memento
2. Seven Samurai
3. Raise the Red Lantern
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Blade Runner
6. Goodfellas
I used to have the movie, Goodfellas but when my first 1 TB hard drive was damaged beyond repair I lost that movie along with so many others. She said she needed at least of these movies on September 5 as she will give it as a gift to a friend. I have been wanting to watch Seven Samurai but somehow I would keep on forgetting. It would always fall right back into the deepest recesses of my mind especially when I am deeply addicted to anime these days.
I have included it in my to do list to find Akira Kurosawa’s movies and collect them. I already have Seven Samurai, so that one down and tons more to go … lol
When Lindsay got married and then later on announced that they were expecting their first baby, she sent us an email with a list of gift ideas that we could bring during the baby shower. It is rather straightforward and some might even think that it is pretty demanding but Lindsay has always been like that. For the first baby shower one of the things she asked for was a pink ergo baby carrier and even included a picture of the item in the email. I think it is pretty cute and seems like Emma gave it to her.
One of the things that a friend of mine would want to buy for himself on his birthday is one of those hip and cool MP3 players in the market. He is thinking of getting a Sansa MP3 player or maybe a Zune player. I asked if he considered getting an iPod player and he said the price is rather steep. So he is thinking of either getting the Sansa, a Creative Zen or maybe a Zune player. These three are the top contenders he is considering.
When Alessandra’s friend became disabled due to an accident at work she said that this friend availed of the social security disability insurance benefit from the government. Though this friend is already out of danger his left leg hurts when he walks long miles and he can no longer climb as fast as he can on ladders like he used to. So he decided to work from home doing consultation work and Alessandra thinks that he is getting by perfectly.
Monica has been trying to lose weight since time immemorial and she has always been the first one to learn of any new diet pill that’s making waves in the market. Her latest find is a pill called apidexin which according to her has gotten several rave reviews and since the reviews she found are rather great she ended up ordering a box so she could try it out.
We have been looking for some coogi t-shirts that are on sale and we found several websites that actually have then on sale. Luis have always wanted one and since his birthday is fast approaching, this might just be the perfect gift for him. We plan on buying it online and have the store ship to him directly and add a small note that it was coming from us.
When Stacy got pregnant she was given by her OB a set of prenatal vitamins to take for the entire duration of her pregnancy. It was a long shot but it paid off when she delivered a healthy baby girl. Her pregnancy was rather shaky and they were worried that she might lose the baby. She had to quit work as she gets sick all the time and had to be home bound with the occasional stroll outside. But after 9 months of care and encouragement she gave birth to a healthy baby girl who weighed 8 pounds.
One of my two close friends, the sister am never blessed to have just passed the CPA licensure examination on last May 5′s examination. Whooohooo. It’s just amazing to see her pass knowing that this board examination is pretty tough and that the passing rate with each year tends to be on the small side.
So that’s us with empty plates during her Thanksgiving and B-Day dinner celebration last Sunday, several of our friends are there as well Lovely’s family. It was nice to be able to catch up on friends, dinner was amazing and all except for Lovely head up for a couple of beers and lots and lots of talk.
To celebrate Father’s Day; I helped Lindsay pick out an exemplary father’s day gift baskets for her dad and her uncle who just became a proud father to a healthy baby boy. It’s a bit tough selecting items for men so we had to do a great deal of research online taking in mind their personalities and the things they like based on our observation plus we also had to put budget into consideration … after all it’s not like we have unlimited monies. lol
A friend of mine at work is soon to have her third baby and right now she is on LOA as her pregnancy has taken a rather delicate turn. When she was still on the first quarter of her pregnancy she mentioned to us once that her OB has provided her with the best prenatal vitamins to ensure that the baby would be strong and healthy, though it’s quite costly but she said all for the baby would be definitely worth it.
One of the things Casey has been busy with as of late is shopping for men’s clothing for this dear brother who just finished college and is now off to join the corporate world. Apparently he’s good taste in music is the exact opposite when it comes to his taste in apparels lol, you should have seen him pick up an ensemble on his own, it was hilariously cute but certainly not corporate right. So Casey’s off shopping for him!
The newest sensation in body building to hit town is the dip station and my good ol buddy is dying to have one of these, he’s thinking of getting a dip bar which he said was perfect for serious strength training what’s more is that it is very compact and that it would even fit in the trunk of a car. So right now he’s working out in the gym and at the same time saving up enough monies to get buy his dip bar. Hope he’d be able to save up soon.
Someone in our circle of friends is just about to get hitched because she is say 3 months pregnants and they have just gone to the OB to check that their baby and that the pregnancy is all normal. So they came home all perked with news of the pregnancy as well as all of the upcoming wedding. Also they came home with lots of prenatal vitamins as well other prenatal what nots to do.
When the wintery cold season arrives leather hand gloves, bonnets, jackets, ear muffs and a whole lot more if I were in a country with heavy cold weather I’d love to have a set of pink jackets, ear muffs, gloves and a whole lot more but since I am in a tropical country I don’t get to bear boots, ear muffs and the whole lot but a close friend of mine in the States has a lot of need for them and what catches her fancy are those leather hand gloves designed by Michael Kors … a bit costly but definitely worth it or so she says.
I was with Druggie and Eds awhile back at Hebrews, a coffee shop over at IT Park and I must admit the internet connection is pretty impressive.
~ Carbonara over @ Hebrews ~
~ Eds seriously working on something ~
~ Druggie – the gothic fairy behind lakbaydiva.com ~
The food was good over at Hebrews Coffee Shop and I cannot wait to go back and sample their other dishes and hopefully with my laptop with me so I can enjoy the free wi-fi. Yohoooo … so I have taken photos of the two crazy people I have met at work. Eds has become more of an extrovert kinda person who loves to point and shoot [we're talking photography here, don't get any other ideas] and Edwin a crazy lunatic I met at work if you are in need of a good laughter then call him.
Ever since a colleague from work went abroad to work couple of years back it made me want to work abroad too, you know look for greener pastures of some sort. Then last year another team mate moved abroad to Dubai to work and now I am thinking of following suit real soon; I mean people in the country have been going out of the country seeking high paying jobs and I think I should follow suit too. So better hit the net and so some searching.
A photo of her in a toga and graduation cap was printed and distributed as what her mom would like to call photo graduation announcements and it also serve as the invitation to attend her graduation come third week of March. Thank goodness my mom was not as flamboyant as hers or I would have died of sheer embarrassment; the photo didn’t do her justice … lol she’s way prettier in person guess she’s not photogenic. Nyahahaa *evil laugh*
One of the many reasons why a friend and I are still with the company is the insurance benefits that came with the package. Medical insurance most importantly has been a major life and pocket saver for her and me that though work sucks literally, we hang on to it as it’s our major lifeline. Both of us are working part time online and we have been keen to promote that and make it full time but unless it comes with some sort of online life insurance policy then I think it’ll have to stay in the back seat.
- wedding rings and moi??? not quite! -
Technically she’s still 24 when she tied down the knot yesterday and she’s the first in the group to settle down [or so they say]. Well I got invited to attend my friend’s wedding, back in high school we have this circle of friends, there’s like 17 of us [15 girls and 2 boys] we parted ways when we went to different colleges but still get in touch and gather for Christmas party every year [am almost always missing in these gathering but nonetheless].
So Ann tied down the knot yesterday. Heck I don’t even know the guy [some friend huh?!!] Well we are not “close” per say, it’s big group what’d you expect? true all of us are friends but within that group you’d always have your own close friends right?.
So I watched her walk down the aisle in a princess like wedding gown and wondered, there she was settling down at the age of 24 and here I am at 24 still waiting or shall I say still trying to grow up. Heck! What happened in the “growing up” phase? A friend said just because she’s getting married doesn’t mean she has matured already … but then marriage is a HUGE thing, it’s not a trial and error kinda game that you could just walk out of the moment you realize it’s no longer working for you especially since there’s no divorce here.
The wedding was a classic scene and I just hope she’s getting married for all the right reasons and not because circumstance forced them too. Creepy One always said I am a cynic, so what … love in this day and age is highly overrated. I’d prolly cause foreheads to frown on that last sentence but what the heck … bite me!
