Dear Future Me,

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:20:31 -0500

Today you must be feeling so much regrets about what you did today - the decisions you made, the path you took, the man you chose.

This morning I was convincing myself to stop and just get back on track but I wouldn’t listen. A part of me said I should just do what makes me happy so I did. I guess being happy matters most.

If you’re upset with everything that has happened in the past, remember that it made you happy anyway. This is a reminder that you shouldn’t be feeling so bad at all because it happened for a reason. Remember it was an escape from your first misery. So just be glad it happened. One day you’ll remember this just as some stupid mistake. This is the fun part of being an adult I guess, it’s okay not to be okay, it’s okay to be stupid. One day you’ll just laugh it out. =)

Just Me Being Silly

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 23:51:49 -0500

One of my weaknesses is a wedding. Whenever I witness one, I can’t help but be a crybaby. This morning, I was daydreaming about my wedding. Silly, right. But man, it gives me butterflies in my stomach! Haha! Anyhoo, I’m not gonna tell you here any of my wedding plans, instead, about what’s after it - marriage.

Truth is, after all the heartbreaks I’ve been through and all those separations I’ve witnessed, my outlook to marriage has been well-smirched. Like, for example, my parents’ separation after almost 10+ years of marriage. Do couples really get sick of each other after years being together? Cos I’ve witnessed that quite a lot of times, not just with my parents but also with the other couples I know.

What if I get sick with my husband? Or what if he does? That scares me, really. So I told myself I’m gonna marry somebody that I am very very very very very sure I won’t leave and won’t leave me. I know, talk is cheap, but as possible as I could, I would. I know how a divided family works, and it works bad, it feels incomplete.

Problem is, am I gonna find that man? Is he even existing? A man that would really mean every words of our wedding vow? :(

Cheers to the Littlest Happy Thoughts

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:40:06 -0500

Last night is just the second time I had a dream about my wedding. The first was tragic cos it happened during the end of the world. LOL. Well, last night was about me being so happy about the wedding but there were these smallest diffuculties like the bra/tube I was going to use for my wedding dress! In my dream, I was rushing before the event because I couldn’t find a good pair of undergarments to use. I even cried so hard that it ruined my makeup and I had to redo it myself because I didn’t have any makeup artist :( Eventually, I used a green tube bra and redid my makeup so well.

The wedding was quite medieval-inspired, the godmothers were wearing some Mary Antoinette-ish dresses, there were also cakes and flowers that were designed so vintage looking. I couldn’t remember my wedding dress but I remember how I looked, I looked sophisticated and cute at the same time, lol. I remember my cheeks being so pink. Hahaha! So anyway, in my dream, I was so happy with the man I was marrying. It’s just so sad I didn’t see his face but I remember him wearing a black tuxedo, and he has a good body omg :))

AND!!! This is the weirdest part. In my dream, the wedding venue is called “Noretes”. From the very second I woke up, I typed it in my phone so I won’t forget it. Haha. So, I translated it in Google and it gave me “Noreste”, which is an Italian word for North East. Meh, it’s puzzling me so much.

Anyway, this creepy shit woke me up. I thought there was something creeping on me, like a cat trying to climb up on my bed. Eek, really creepy.

Every Exit is an Entrance Somewhere Else

Remember the prayers you begged God? Remember how desperately you wanted to break away from that misery? Looks like He finally gave you the escape. But when that door closed, other doors did open, but you chose the wrong door. You knew from the very first what may happen in the end, you knew what’s behind that door: a foe that you knew you can never ever defeat, but then again you used your freewill and made a choice.

You get the best relationships but you choose the most complicated ones. You get the best armor but you choose to fight bare alone. You get the best thing but you hunger for more.

It’s not them, it’s not Him, it’s you. You abused your freewill that it took you to the wrong path. You didn’t listen, you didn’t care. Now you’ve gone astray, no one to ask what to do, no one to guide you home.

What ya gonna do? Let time heals the hell outta you? Go with the flow? Who are you kidding, it’s gonna kill you before you know it.

One Hell of a Week

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:01:02 -0500

People call it Valentines day, I call it Tuesday.

My feb 14th this year wasn’t so grand unlike last year. I spent the day at school but I left early with my friends. We planned to go on a picnic but it rained so we just played video games then watched a movie at home.

Around 2pm, we received a text from my cousin saying our grandmother had stroke and was rushed to the hospital. Meh.

4pm, we hit the road and visited our “tree”. Well, there’s this secret place we go every month, it has a small pond, and a tree where we engrave our names. Hehe, silly, right. Spent 2 hours there just dancing around, laughing, eating.

6pm, we went home.

Feb 15th. Spent the whole day at school. Around 8pm, I told dad I want to go to the hospital to visit my grandmother, told him I’m just gonna drive myself there but he insisted to just fetch me. On the way to the hospital, I witnessed a motorcycle accident, I don’t know what exactly happened but I saw how the passenger’s legs got twisted. Meh, that was really really awful. Anyway, it felt that the accident should have happened to me, thank God my father fetched me.

So okay, around 9pm, I arrived at the hospital.

The doctor said granny needs an operation due to the hemorrhage, but he told my aunts that it may not work because grandmother is too weak for it.

Everybody was crying and I couldn’t bear see them so I stayed outside the room.

11pm, I left the hospital.

1am, I received a text msg from my father saying my grandmother passed away. Well, the fact that she’s gone isn’t sinking on me yet, it felt so unimaginable.

Feb 16th night, me and my brother went to the wake. I was still holding my tears.

Feb 17th, my sister went home from Lucena. 5-7pm we were at the wake.

Feb 18th, I spent the day with my sister and my best friend. We haven’t seen each other for a month so we went out and watched the movie “The Black Woman”. The movie isn’t so bad, too much creepiness. After the movie, we had dinner at Gerry’s Grill. We had beer and we smoked, something we don’t usually do together. lol. I had 4 bottles of beer and felt a little tipsy. Awesome night, it was.

7pm, we went to our grandmother’s wake.

Feb 19th, yesterday, was her burial. RIP, granny. I love you!

So Much To Tell

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 06:10:54 -0400

Hello! It’s been a bajillion year since I last posted something here. Well, let’s just say I’m still busy with my school stuff to make the explanation not so complicated. Anyhoo, I’m back! And I’ve got tons of stories to tell but I’m just gonna blab about my birthday getaway.

Oh well, gone are my teenage days :( I’m now 20 years old but that’s just a number, right? He he he. So! The last 2 days of my teenage days were wicked and superb. No regrets I splurged all my savings which is about $300+. Awyeahhh. Not that I’m bragging or something but I really saved up that much of money for months just to get away on my birthday, and of course, treat myself some clothes and whatnot.

October 21st: Went major shopping with my cousin. Bought some camping stuff like jacket, rubber shoes, comfy shirts and shorts, sunglasses, hat, and a lot more I can’t remember. Totally had fun!

October 23rd: Set up all my stuff and shopped again for some food. At around 8pm, I met up with my bestfriend Belle and Tere to eat dinner together before going to Anne’s place (which is our meeting place before leaving the town)

Exactly 11pm, we left.

October 24th: We arrived at Pundaquit, Zambales at around 2am-ish and we got lost. The signs are so confusing and our map was a crap. There’s no people to ask because it’s midnight and we felt so doomed we ended up spending an hour parking in front of a resort, waiting for somebody to come by. We smoked, chatted, wished on shooting stars, walked, sang, waited for the sun to come, ate junks. After an hour or so, we decided to try walking around even though it’s hella dark. Walked, walked, walked. Turned out there’s no more path to walk on! Dead end! So yeah, we decided to leave and drive back to the route we took. The place was so dark, no single street lights.

At around 4am, we reached a municipal city hoping there’s somebody who’s awake whom we can ask. No luck. But then!! We saw an old man walking and he was so kind to answer all our questions! We did a right route and we were actually near the mountain we’re about to hike! And we’re so lucky the old man has a boatman friend! :D But then!! The boatman won’t allow us to hike Mount Pundaquit without a guide because it’s too dangerous we might go astray. There’s no tour guides available at that time so we just asked the boatman to give us a round trip to Anawangin Cove. The round trip costed 2,000PHP, back and forth.

4:30 AM: We reached Anawangin Cove. But it’s still dark so we waited till the sun is up.

5AM: The sun is coming! We started setting up our tents, our camping stuff.

6AM: Had some coffee and biscuits and started wandering around the island and hiked up a small mountain which was very very very steep.

The beach, the white sand, the lake, the pine trees, the mountains…Ahhhh surreal!

8AM: Had a breakfast! Canned goods + Rice.

9AM-11AM: We started swimming!! :)

12PM: We haven’t had any sleep so we all slept under the sun. My sleep wasn’t so good since I felt so sick. Probably because of my wet clothes plus the cold breeze so I started shaking and Teressa had to give me her jacket and cover me with some blankets.

2PM: I woke up and felt a little better. Then we waited til the sun is down to go swimming again. Yeah, I’m too ecstatic to make notice of my fever. Hehe!

Around 6pm, we had some rum. We all got tipsy ~_~

I will no longer tell all the details because this post is getting boring. Summary of the rest of the day: FUN.

October 25th. 12AM, My bestfriend Teressa woke me up saying it’s time for our bon fire! So, I was still sleepy when I got up and didn’t notice the 20 cupcakes with 20 candles, 12 party hats and some food on a table beside me. When I saw it, I was so sleepy I can’t tell if it’s true or I was just dreaming!! LOL! Surprise bday party, it was!

Summary of the night: Cold night. Bon fire. Wishing stars! Gossips about teachers and classmates. LOL. BBQ. Crabs. Junks. Cigars. Songs. Dancing. And a lot more. Slept around 4am and woke up at about 8am.

Had a good breakfast then went swimming by the lake. The lake is my favorite part of the island. It has clean water running from the mountain.

The day was superb. We fished, we caught crabs, clams and cute snails. We cooked the crabs and the fishes for lunch! YUM!

The day was totally wonderful! :)

We left the island at exactly 4pm and went home safely at around 8pm.

My 20th birthday is now my favorite birthday. Hehe! Thank you, Lord!

PS: If you’re planning to go Anawangin Cove, you can contact our super kind boatman, Mang Ariel: 09162868353. He’s a good man and he made sure we’re all set before leaving us in Anawangin cove.

Warning: People say the island is a little mysterious at times. Don’t forget to pray! And don’t swim far from the shore. Also, bring extra food and water. There’s a store in the island but their products’ prices are doubled/tripled.

PPS: Please bear with my grammatical errors, I’m still sick and too lazy to correct them all. HEHE!

Just Another Wednesday

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 07:10:29 -0400

Today’s pretty boring, nothing much happened. Started my day @ 5-am and worked my body out and dragged my ass off to school at around 7am-ish. School went great, I just received my grades for midterm and I’m pretty much happy with it. Dismissal at 10am. Me and friends had some foodtrip date at 711 then watched “Friends with Benefits” here at home. The movie is okay, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are just so sexy together. Heehee. But I wish Emma Stone had more scenes :p After the movie, we had Siopaos and Halo-Halos at our favorite small eatery :) That’s all. Pretty boring, eh? That’s because I’m still broke and I can’t spend all my remaining money just to get out and have fun. Meh~

And oh, btw, my cousin borrowed my camera that’s why I haven’t uploaded yet the pictures I promised on my previous post :p

I'm Happified And Pigged Out

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 08:47:58 -0400

Hello! I just changed my domain name to Happified.info! :) I never liked my previous name which was m-cv.net (my initials) because it sounds no fun. Lol. So yeahhhh, I’m now happified.info, which is obviously came from my name Happi :p So what will I do with m-cv? Well, if I have the time, I’m gonna make it my online portfolio.

Moving on, I’m feeling a lot better now! But.. there’s a little problem :( I gained 5lbs in just a week :( Yessss. And that’s because I’ve been going out and hitting different fast foods / restaurants for consecutive days! Fuck. So yeahh, I’m back to being very much conscious with calories and whatnot which is really a torture :(

No dinner for me tonight :( BRB hitting the gym :(

Hello, 100+ Strangers.

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:07:46 -0400

Wow, last time I checked this tumblog, it has zero followers and now it has 100+. Fuckn-A. Hah. Well, I guess this is no longer private, but that’s okay since you guys barely know me and I’m pretty sure you barely read my posts. Mehehe.

Anyhoo, the last few days were superawesomeistic. As what I wrote on my last post, I was keeping myself away from this home so I had to go out as often as I can which is why I wasn’t able to blog anything here the last few days. Just this weekend, me and my cousins went to Sta. Cruz, Laguna to visit a relative and at the same time, to have fun. I’m gonna post pictures tomorrow :) The place is surreal — fresh air, trees, mountains, lakes, horses, hanging bridge, hot spring resort, fruits, and a lot mooore. We had such a tiring day but it’s all worth it, every thing about my weekend was wicked.

Before going home, I splurged my savings shopping. I bought 3 blouses, 1 dress, 2 shoes, 2 shorts, some accessories and some pasalubongs for my friends. So yeah, I’m back to being a bumming broke. Right now, I’m stuck here at home cos I’m prohibiting myself from withdrawing my remaining savings and go out. Pfft.

Right now, I’m on my bed writing this, feeling a little sick. Well, I just had a tooth extraction last Saturday and I haven’t had a good rest yet so I think that’s probably the reason why I got a little fever. So, that’s for now. I’m gonna spend the whole day sleeping~ zzz

Waddup!

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:08:58 -0400

F*ck. It’s been a week since I last posted something here. Well, I have a good reason and I’m explaining that reason on my next post which will I publish sometime this week :)

Warning: Long uninteresting post.

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 08:49:23 -0400

Today’s pretty rough, so is yesterday. Well, when I wrote my previous post, yesterday was really a good day, but it did turn bad just before I sleep. So here’s what happened. Me and my sister had a huge fight. Well, to make the looooong story short, it started when her daughter (my niece) kept waking up and crying at around 11pm and she’s too sleepy to get up and pick her up so my mom represented to do it, but she refuses but mom kept on insisting. I don’t really know what’s up to my sister cos she then started yelling at my mom like she’s some fucking boss. I tried to keep my temper under control but I just can’t stand hearing them fight so yeah, we then had a fight. Bla bla bla. After some curses and hurtful rants, she then bawled out my utmost secret that I’ve kept for so many years. My mom heard it. PUTANGINA. I was so furious that my body was literally shaking, my voice was breaking and I was so bursting into tears.

I fell asleep crying around 1am.

In the morning, August 20th, I remembered what happened that night. Sana panaginip na lang yung nangyari. Sana pwedeng ulitin yung eksena kagabi. Pero hindi na e. I then prayed. I asked God to calm my heart and clear all my negative thoughts. Still, I was in deep depression the whole morning. And since my cousin/bff was so eager to help me out, she forced me to go shopping, which really something I just can’t say no to. So yes, I withdrawn all my money from my atm and splurged them all. I bought Chippy some shampoos and a small dog bed. Then I bought myself 2 sandals, some underwears, a watch, a cookie monster shirt, pens, shorts, and some toiletries. After shopping, me and bff went to the school library to meet Che and my other groupmates to do our thesis. Bla bla bla. I had a really great time with them.

At around 5pm, they decided to go home. But since I really don’t feel like going home, I forced them to go with me somewhere just so I can kill time. So we went back to the mall and ate some Teriyaki and something I can’t remember the name. After it, there’s this Orange Salon we visited and we had mani-pedi. Ugh, it went so painful and fugly. I’m so never going back there. Hehe.

8pm, we went home. So here I am, on the bed, thinking about what may happen after that fucking fight because I’m so never ever going to talk to my sister. Seriously. I hate her to bits.

PS: that secret is something that could really ruin my life. Clue: not something about my V-card. LOL.

PSS: I’ve been keeping myself away from this house and from my mom just so we can’t talk about that fckn secret. I’m dead scared.

Today: ★

What I Love About the Unplanned

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:35:29 -0400

Yet again, I wasn’t able to post something here yesterday :| I have a valid excuse, though :D Anyway, here’s what happened last August 18th:

Spent half of the day reviewing my notes on my Logic subj, which was really such a headache :| At 2pm, I left home and ran late for school, then took a midterm exam on that subject. Eventually, the exam went pretty okay though it really was so confusing and mindblowing. Good thing is that we had an early dismissal so we left school at 4pm-ish. Me and bffs then had some good time wandering here and there. We even visited my grandfather’s tomb, then we headed church, then bought some random streetfood to eat: Ice scramble, chicken nuggets, fish ball, isaw-isaw, BBQ, mangoes and etc :p After all it, when we’re about to go home, somebody suggested a sleepover :) which is me. Hehe. And because they couldn’t say no to my pity/sad/aweful pleading face, we pursued the unplanned plan XD But before doing so, I had to go home and pick up my puppy and get some clothes. And so we headed to Teressa’s pad (Teressa is one of my friends and she’s the greatest cousin I ever had). Tell you what, I had so much trouble holding Chippy while on our way to T’s place. He’s so scared since he’s not really used to travelling :| Anyhoooo, we went home safely and had a super great time chatting, watching movies, eating, and whatnot :)

Yesterday: ★★★★★

Today:

I super loved the weather: sunny but a little breezy. Me and Chippy took a walk while bffs played basketball :p It’s just so bad that Anabel had to go home early :| Anyway, the day still went great. After she left, me, Teressa and Lianne went strolling using my brother’s motorcycle. It’s epic, so much laughtrip. After some time, we stopped by on a small store and bought some goodies to eat. Ah, that place was surreal, it’s nearby a pond and a farm + cold breezy and fresh air… mannnn! imagine that? So county!! Hehe.

Sometimes, it’s just so nice to stop by at that kind of place thinking of no plans about doing something at all. Hmmm :)

But of course, we have to go home for lunch.

In the afternoon, my Aunt Melly gave us these fresh sugarcanes!! OMG, it’s been 10 years or so since I last ate sugarcanes! Geez, they’re super sweet and yummeeeyy :) And then, aunt gave us these home-made bukayo, ahhh I super loved it XD After eating those sugarcanes and bukayos, she then handed us some Sotanghon soup!! Wow, we seriously pigged out XD So yeah, we actually spent the whole afternoon eating :p

5pm, we went home :)

Today: ★★★★★

Meet Chippy!

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:50:00 -0400

Hello! :) Today’s pretty awesome. Started my day at 5am-ish, had a good good breakfast then prepared for school. At exactly 7am, I left home. Good thing my Wednesday professor is always late so I had an hour to review my notes for our midterm exam. Well, thank God the exam went very well, I answered them all correctly except for the last question which was: What’s the subject code for Business Policy and Strategy? (which is our subject). LOL so I wasn’t able to have a perfect score, but that’s okay :P

After school, me and my 3 bffs went home. I showed them my puppy which I named Chippy :) I actually like the name Gucci but my brother doesn’t like it so I just named him Chippy :P Annnnnnd here’s his picture which I took just now :)

He’s very shy, I tell you. I usually find him either under the sofa or under the table. Also, he’s always asleep and he eats and poops a lot -_-“

Anyway, me and bffs played with him outside the house along with my little neighbor Loisa and a boy I forgot the name. :p

After it, we went back home and watched 2 suspense movies: “The Skeleton Key” and “The Mist”. I super loved both movies but the endings are just so depressing :| :| Haha!

So there, my bffs actually just left, and here I am, typing this while waiting for dinner :p

Today: ★★★★

Puppy, Pens and Pictures

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 06:24:55 -0400

Hello! I just got home from my cousin T’s crib. Well, this should have been my 3rd post now since it’s the 3rd day of this blog but as what I’ve said, I was at my cousin’s place so I wasn’t able to access the Internet yesterday. Worst thing is, I forgot my cellphone’s charger so I was really cut off from the Internet the whole Monday.

ANYWAAAAY, I have some good news. I finally got a PUPPY!! Hihi. He’s a 2month-old Shih Tzu! Well, I haven’t named him yet but I have these names in mind: Chippy, Chewy, Bruno, Chuck, Kimi, Gabby, Lion, Marquee, Iggy, Chicco, and Fixi! So, what do you think is the cutest? XD Tomorrow I’ll shop some goodies for him - dog food, brush, chain/collar, vitamins and maybe some accessories. Hihi XD

Imma post pictures tomorrow!!

Moving on, yesterday was the awesome-est! Me and cousin T went shopping again. I bought cute 6 new pens for my collection! Yes! I’m collecting pens <3 I swear I’m going to post lotsa pictures tomorrow. I’m really too lazy to get up now and take pictures -_- I also bought a cute black blouse, 2 nightdresses, underwears :p, cute stuff, some cosmetics and some I can’t remember :p Bottom line is, I’m back to being broke:| :| I’m so happy, though! :)

Hello, World!

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:28:00 -0400

First post! Today is Sunday, August 14, 11AM. Well, today’s a little bit rough. I was supposed to go to the church today but my Mom didn’t wake me up early so I just did my laundry and tidied up the whole house. After doing so, the rain poured hard, so I had a little rough time getting my clothes back inside. And then PMS arrived. Maaaan, why is it do I have to suffer from womanhood! Why now when I have plans going out :(

Anyways, I’m here on my bed, waiting for the rain to stop, then moving my ass off to Malolos, Bulacan to accompany my cousin fix her scholarship. And then we’ll go shopping! It’s just so bad that the dollar to peso exchange rate has gone very low - 1 U.S. Dollar = 41.3857 Philippine Pesos, thus I can’t withdraw now my online earnings! Also, I went shopping yesterday so I’m left with just a few bucks :|

Okaaaaay, the rain has stopped already!! Byeee :)
