sadness is fleeting
		08:38pm 06/05/2010
	i refuse to be emo about it. i am not. but i am bothered. it bothers me taking 2 news of death in one day. i don't think anyone can ever get used to it, unless you're a medical practitioner and has perfected the art desensitizing yourself to the business of mr. grim reaper himself. especially if you hear about the death of a child about the same age as your son. Dear God, Thank you for good health and keeping my family safe always. I pray for Noralyn's comfort that Pao is no longer in pain and is already with you in heaven. Also, I pray for the peace of Medge and her siblings that tita Ludy is happy with you in heaven, too. Amen. I hope the PMS goes away soon. I wanna ride off this feeling of blah and sadness. hormone overdrive, please go away.

summer love
		09:46am 13/04/2010
	The great thing about keeping this site is that t every so often, I get to remind myself how I was from few years back. I miss that old lifestyle. Of racing. of running. Of taking my bike wherever, whenever. I am trying to rekindle my exact state of mind while I pedal away to those endless trails and roads that gave me so much joy. I miss how the sun used to kiss my skin to happy golden olive -- to the point of burnt sienna. I loved and still love my summer color…. But no, I remember my color knows no season. I miss how the grass smells and the dirt on my feet. I miss the sound of water as I pass through river crossings or water falls. Even bathing in them. I miss the sweet pain of long distance riding and racing. I miss the countless cuts and wounds I get after each and every ride. I recently found myself pushing myself back from few summers ago. And every time, I just want to cry. I just miss how I was.

the season of excessive lying is here!
		08:02am 21/01/2010
	So maybe the tendency to forgive and forget those that have hurt us is not necessarily a good thing. Because if we don’t do anything to people that hurt us – they will probably continue on hurting others. - Paulo Cuelho so my kids and i were watching Darna so they can brush up on their Tagalog, when this came out during the commercial break:

to be carried away 2.0
		08:27am 14/01/2010
	these girls may be in their 50's, menopausal and aging -- and i dont care. they've become sorta like my best girls, too. and i think this is the same for most empowered women i know who are so into SATC too. i shall never get tired of them. the kick ass lines, their drama, their rationale, their genuine girl-mance. even if my real best girls and i hit THAT time when we get old, gray and dried up like a prune (OH WHICH IS SO NOT HAPPENIN' --- being the drama diva, i just lurve to exaggerate) -- i shall love this new york hags just as much. in my eyes, they will never get old. i cant wait til may 28. and, again, i will be finding time to accompany all my girls who would want to watch it with me. i cant wait to be carried away. again. and over and over again.

on work
		12:48pm 13/01/2010
	sometimes i ask myself if i am biting off more than i can chew. having 2 jobs could be overwhelming sometimes. no. most times, i get really tired. here i am writing this entry at almost 2 am after redoing my marketing plan presentation for the mancomm tomorrow. i am not complaining. i am actually more pleased with my crammed version. yeah, just like high school and college all over again. and then another planning for another event for the other job. i like it when i whine about having too much work and steph would me. "oh shut up! you know you love it". just like gym-tired, sex-tired, mtbiking-tired -- this work-tired is something that i have learned to welcome with this huge smile on my face. i think its the good kind of tired, too. vita e bella. always always.

potty mouth
		10:43am 01/01/2010
	ok, so i have a case of it. a major one, especially when i get into that pissed off gremlin state. but hey, i have been told i say and complimented that my potty mouth still sounds funny. and sweet. probably it came with ze bratellina package. but what really annoys me, is to be one helluva potty mouth not knowing where it came from. like one major kaboom at 11PM. i mean, i do believe that one can be tastefully tacky... but then again i realized, to be one must be a Divine gift. we filipinos call it bakla-an. i was born with. and i have proof. i am a frackin' fag hag. now to be called up in the wee hours of the night without any pleasantry, introduction is one thing. but to mention the vajayjay of my mom as your way of saying hello, is just plain retard. so much for happy blog to start off my 2010. as a piece of advise, try this. smile as you speak and sweetly say in your best californian non jologs accent, "happy new year, motherfucker"..... because i swear the vajayjay of inamo is soooo 90's. fuckin' retard.
