Almost everyone celebrated the Father's Day last week.. Well, not us!

Before, we used to celebrate it too. Me and my sis would make a father's day card and in the evening, we usually go out and eat at a resturant. But since someone meddled in our family, everything became different. Our dad would always be so hot-tempered and would usually shout on us. And that's very unusual especially if we haven't really done something wrong. He would refrain from spending money for us, his family. But the worst is, his relationship with my mom was really put on a big test. For 6 or 7 years, my mom endured all the pain. Well, actually she thought of getting separated from my dad. But because my mom loves us, she doesn't want me and my sis to suffer from living without a father. Also, she thought that if she'll take us with her, she might not be able to sustain all our needs by herself. But if she'll leave us with him, she feared that our dad might brainwash us and make us hate her. *sigh* I would always see my mom weep, and it feels so painful especially when you can't do anythin to solve the problem. There are times, I would suggest her to just leave dad. Since she won't be happy int hat situation, and I always hate to see her like that. I wanted my mom to be happy because she has done so many sacrifices just for us, and for the family itself. I rarely see her merry. And I know why.. It's because my mom's main happiness is having a family. Well, a family not like ours I guess. An intact one perhaps, no third parties and just an ordinary family full of life and love.

Every night, I would always pray that this can be resolved. That broken hearts can be healed. And that the wounds will forever disappear. God heard my prayer. That's why after that 6 years or so of suffering, everything ended as the low-life thief went to settle in Japan. I was happy for her, of course, at last she's gone! Our family came back to normal again. Our dad would always be kind and generous to us again. It seemed that everything came back to how it was. Or much better, our family became something that I never thought it would be. Our house was full of life, laughter and you can actually feel that everyone is happy despite of some issues regarding the family business. We thought that we would finally have a "happily ever after".

After several months, things suddenly didn't look that good. My dad became so moody and short-tempered again. One thing that left me and my mom puzzled. Could it be that his low-life mistress came back to the country? Nah! We thought that maybe, dad was just in a bad mood that day. But after days have passed, we also thought that it's impossible for someone to be always in a bad mood without "any" reasons. And that's it! We found out that the filthy creature has once returned. I hate how my dad have become once again.

Last Sunday, I even barely got the chance to greet him a "happy father's day". First of all, I'm not happy. And second, is that I don't know if he's still my dad. One thing that made my blood boil is when he went out so early that day, about 7AM, I think. He don't usually get up and go out that early without having breakfast. Well, maybe they'd celebrate their own Father's day too. But still, one thing I'm proud of my dad is that, he never neglected our needs. He provides our necessities. He makes sure that we're in a good financial status, and lastly.. He doesn't do what most married men (with mistresses, that is) would often do. BEAR A CHILD WITH OTHER WOMEN. I still feel proud of him since he doesn't want to create a bigger chaos and he does what a father's responsibile for. But too bad.. He didn't do his responsibilities as a good husband.

But eventhough these things happen.. I still pray and expect that everything will fall on its right place someday. I know that everything will be good again. God will make a way and he will not let His children suffer. ^__^

Well, a very very very "Belated Father's Day" to every father in the world. ^__^


PS: I really don't know why I'm posting these very personal and should be confidential matters. I guess I really can't keep myself together anymore. It's so hard to box up all your emotions. And since I know not many will be reading this post, I think it's safe here. ^__~



Btw, before I forget.. Ate Joanna tagged me! ^__^

Instructions:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about himself/herself. People who are tagged need to explain the 7 random facts/habits about themselves in their blogs. Then in turn, they need to choose 7 people to tag and list their names at the end of their blogs. The player needs to visit their sites too and inform them (say, by leaving a comment) that they have been tagged and that they need to read your (the player’s) blog to find out more about it.

7 Random Facts About Me:

1. I always drink coffee during lunchbreaks at school. Well, coffee shake naman talaga siya. I do it so that I wouldn't fall asleep during the afternoon (Chinese) class. Madalas kasi 'yung first subject namin 'dun, boring.. Hahaha.. ^__^

2. Frustrated Sports person ako. I've been the Sports Committee chairperson ng Student Council sa school namin, as well as our publication's Sports Editor.. But I've never been an athlete. Well, except for a few months of training sa Track & Field. The only sport I'm good at is jumping rope, jackstone and garter ('yung 10-20).. If you could consider that as sport that is. =p

3. Mas naaawa ako sa beggar na old man kesa sa old lady. I dunno why. Hmm.. Siguro kasi 'pag old lade I remember my lola na lagi akong pinapagalitan. While when I see old men, I remember my lolo who's so caring and loving.. Hahaha.. ^__^

4. Halos bulag na ko! Okay, this is exaggeration. But I really do have bad eye sight. 300 grade on my left eye and 315 on my right. Ack!

5. Cookies and Cream! That's my fave flavor of ice cream! ^__~

6. I wanna own a boutique! That's one of my dreams. To be a designer and have my own boutique and have stores internationally.

7. Katulad ni Ate Joana, hopeless romantic din ako. I always fantasize about me being in a fairy tale. Ako 'yung princess and there's a prince charming for me.

Okay, I really don't know who should I tag. So, anyone who wants to answer this is free to copy and have these answered on their blogs. ^__^

Whee!!! ^__^ I'm so happy! I already got my Smart Bro installed yesterday. Now I can surf the web faster and download really quick. I remeber, I always spend hours just downloading one mp3. Imagine that! ONE SONG in one hour?! Hehehe.. ^__^ But now, I'm really glad that I'm finally not a dial-up user anymore. ^__^ That's really a big *WHEW* for me! ^__^

Anyway, I'm now enjoying school.. On my previous post, I stressed that I'm really not into the Chinese subject at school. But just a while ago, I started to become more passionate about it. I discovered that it's not that bad. Few years back then up until last school year, I would just take my Chinese class for granted. I wouldn't review.. I just depend on my classmates for correct answers. But now, I've changed! ^__^ I'll be taking this class seriously starting today.

Btw, I'm so happy to be the new Editor-in-Chief of our school paper. I'm really honored yet at the same time, so nervous about it. I really doubt my capabilities and I usually put myself down when I compare myself to the past Chief-Eds. T__T I just hope that through reading more books, newspapers, etc., I can be able to improve! *sigh* Just wish me luck!

I guess I gotta make this post short. I still need to finish all my homeworks and stuffs. ^__^

Argh!!! I'm really mad right now! Just this morning, about 6am, I was already making a post here. It was a really long post, comprised of almost 8 paragraphs already. Then, there goes the black out! X_X Ack! It's really frustrating 'cause I was almost finished making it. T__T The automatic draft-saving functions of Blogger also didn't work properly that time. So I haven't got any copy of that post! T__T Guess I have to start all over again. But I'm not really in the mood to repeat and re-type those things all over again. T__T

SCHOOL STUFFS...

Anyway, I got lots of stuffs to be posting..Especially those related to school. Even though it's just our first week of classes, I feel like I'm already loaded with a lot of stuffs. We got quizzes piling up for this coming week. I'm really nervous about it, especially tests and recitations in our Chinese class. Yes, I can read, write, speak and understand Chinese. But I'm not good at it! I admit. I took it for granted before. I didn't really care about learning and improving what I know about the subject matter until now. I've realized that it could help me a lot especially with dealing business matters. It's a plus factor and an edge since most of the businessmen in the country are Chinese. *sigh* I hope I learned about that years ago. So I would start improving my Chinese. T__T

Well, enough about that. Let's go to the brighter side of school stuffs. Actually, I felt like something about me changed this school year. Before, I was a well-behaved girl who would always stay quiet and act appropriate but seemed to be because of consciousness. I am not that sociable in a sense that I wouldn't make a conversation interesting when talking to people I don't really know. I also would just answer directly the question of the people asking me stuffs without any segways. I was afraid that people might get the wrong perception if I show my goofy and wild side which is truly my personality. I would always limit myself with fun stuffs when I'm at school, and show the real me only to my friends. Even my classmates didn't know the real Steph because I was scared that they might think I'm not deserving to be the class president. Actually, they thought that I love going to school since I'm active with activities and still manage to top the class. But little they know about how I was tired and getting sick of going to school for 10 months every year! There were times that I pretend to be sick just so I could just stay at home and be absent at school. Hehehe.. Yup! I'm a bad girl.. T__T But I don't plan to do that this year. Hehehe.. Okay, going back to the topic. It started this week.. I felt like I'm more sociable now even to those I hardly know. I would always act goofy and have that cheerful thing going on. I would inject humor often to conversations and I'm more being yself right now. I'm really very happy because I'm not hiding my true self anymore. It's so nice to be YOU! I was so worried about meeting the expectations of the people around me that I neglected to show my personality anymore. I was scared that people would give bad comments if they knew the real me. Well, I was wrong. I feel like an idiot 'cause I thought of those things. I shouldn't be afraid 'cause I'm not doing anything wrong. Di naman siguro masamang tumawa ng malakas sa corridors? Or magdaldal about sensible things di ba? So yeah, I feel great now! ^__^ And I really love the changes it brought me.

This year, our school will be starting a broadcasting "chuvaness". Students will be the one to give out news, updates and announcements to their fellow students on screen every morning before classes begin. Well, I think the idea is great 'cause it's much entertaining to see co-students than administrators who deliver their announcements in a very serious and formal manner. I was chosen to beon the first batch of students to try out the broadcasting. I'm excited but a bit hesitant to continue it 'cause I might just blow the show. I'm not used to being so formal everytime I speak. I always talk in a casual or talkshow host manner. I'm also very opinionated and I'm afraid that I might give out comments and negative opinions to whatever it is I'm delivering. News shouldn't be commented especially by the host himself, and that's one of the cons I would probably encounter. But I think this will be a good training ground for me since I plan to take up Communications in Ateneo.

Btw, almost everyone at school is busy getting their UP forms and reviewing for the upcoming UPCAT. Good thing I didn't. Before, I also thought of going to UP. But there's a question like, will I be able to pass the UPCAT? I didn't take any review classes last summer, and I also don't have any modules to review on. I might borrow my classmates' but I know they wouldn't lend it to me at this point where they're the ones needing it the most since UPCAT is just a month away. Just last week, I encountered problems with "what school should I go to in college?" I already have choices for tertiary courses, but I don't know which schools should I target. I wanted to study at Ateneo but there are times I think my parents will just have a more heavier burden. Our family plans to have a house constructed next year. If ever I pass the ACET and enroll at Ateneo, the construction of that house might be delayed. But one evening when my folks noticed that I'm having a hard time choosing where to study, they told me that I should enroll at La Salle. It's like eveything became more confusing for me at that time. But my dad told me that I shouldn't worry about my tuition fee since they already planned and saved for that long time ago. Whew! ^__^ They advised me to study at DLSU 'cause it's just an LRT ride away from home. Also, if I'd be taking up business courses, then it's really a good choice of school. But they didn't limit me to try it out too at Ateneo. ^__^ The only bad thing is that, I haven't reviewed anything for the entrance exams! I'm nervous and I don't want to cram so maybe every weekend, I'll start reviewing. ^__^

Btw, I really hated how hot the weather is nowadays! Our school isn't air-conditioned. It wasn't this bad last year. But this year is really really really freakin' hot! @__@ Everytime I get to school, sweat would always start dripping..T__T But the minute you arrive at the campus, After maligo feeling ko ang presko presko na.parang nililitson ka na sa init! *sigh*

Site updates...

I joined Ate Gayle's contest a month ago. Even though I didn't advertise that much on the poll, I'm glad that there are still those who voted for me. Thank you so much! :D I joined the Kikay Layout 'cause I think my site or the layout of this blog is "kikay-ish" hehehe.. Is there a word "kikay-ish"? Anyway, thanks again for voting me. You know who you are. And thank you goes out to Ate Gayle for the award. Btw, I'll also be plugging the contests in my other website, Purpledreamz. Please do check it out if you got the time. I have a People's Choice for Best Sites contest there which will be thru voting. Also, the Purpledreamz Awards wherein I choose who'll win based on some criteria. ^__^ Hmm.. You know guys, I'm thinking of having a single website.. A weblog actually. 'Cause I'm already having problems maintaining two sites. I think it will be much easier if I'll be updating only one site..Ayt? Well..Anyway, I guess it'll have to wait. I think I'll be doing that after I buy a domain for myself. ^__^ Hehehe! Also, I might not be accepting link exchanges anymore. 'Cause it's impossible for me to bloghop everyday! T__T It's hard.. Really!


Random things...

I just wanna post a snapshot of the refrigerated chocolate cake I made last month. I know it's really late but I just want to share some blahs. Actually, I don't know what kind of cake this is. It's just made of chocolate graham crackers. Hehehe.. ^__^ It didn't taste so bad. The presentation isn't that sloppy either. My mom blamed this cake for my tonsillitis. She said that if I didn't made this one, I wouldn't have gotten swollen tonsils. Hehehe.. ^__^ She told me that if I didn't eat a very big portion of it, di sana kailangan ng tonsillectomy. But still, I blame the crepe we bought from SM The block. It was really really sweet! And it was the last thing I ate before I had tonsillitis. After the operation, I wasn't expecting that I'm gonna stop eating chocolates. I really loved chocolates. I was a chocoholic! But I think since my tonsils are gone, my taste buds became sensitive and I can really absorb all the sweetness. Wala na kasi 'yung tonsils na magfifilter. I remember, I used to eat chocolates everyday at school every after meal. Hahahaha.. But good thing, now that I don't have the sweet tooth anymore, I'd probably be able to lose the flabs.. ^__^

Yesterday, I made a fettucine carbonara. The image on the right is the one I made a month ago. Hahaha.. I didn't have any pictures of the one I cooked up yesterday. ^__^ Anyway, the presentation of this one isn't that nice since I only had limited ingredients available. But it doesn't taste so bad too. ^__^ My little sister told me that it taste good. (My sister's a tough critic.) My parents also ate it without any bad comments.. ^__^ So I guess it's good enough! Hehehe.. I brought some to my bestie/soulmate/soon-to-be-husband. He loved it! ^__^ And I'm happy about that. I also didn't think that he just said that so he wouldn't hurt me. Even his grandma liked it and said that I should have made some more! Hehehe.. But as for my own opinion.. I think the one I made last month was better. The pasta I used before was really much yummy than the fettucine and it's easier to eat. Hehehe.. ^__^

I've noticed that I mostly wear pink clothes these days. I don't like matching get-ups 'cause it looks so lame and flat. But yesterday, I wore a pink shirt, pink sandals, pink bag, and a pink ponytail. I even bought a pink housing for my cellphone! Hahaha.. ^__^ Btw, my phone is an N6220. It's really old and it usually lags or even hang. I got that when I was in grade 6. It's the graduation present I got from my mom, so it really has a sentimental value. I even bought a new battery for it. Hehehe.. I though it's better to make its life longer. Hahaha.. ^__^ But hopefully, I'll be able to buy a new phone at the end of the year. So, going back.. I don't know why I have so many pink stuffs these days. I don't hate pink, but I don't love it that much either. I'm still a purple/violet addict. Hahaha.. But most of my stuffs are in shades of pink.. Pink pens, pink notebooks, pink clothes, pink everything! X__X Even the pajamas I'm wearing now is pink! Hehehe.. ^__^

Btw, I'll be having my Smart Bro connection by this week! Woot! I was amazed by how fast they cater to their customers. I just applied in their website and then someone called me rightaway to help me with the procedures. ^__^ Whee! I would be visting site and bloghopping more often when I get that connection up and running! *cheers!*

Been Tagged...

I've been tagged by Ate Dhadha. Here's the rule. Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.

1. Soya Milk Addict - after the tonsillectomy, my mom would let me drink soya milk. Up until now, I'm still drinking it all the time, even at school. I became addicted! ^__^
2. 125 lbs. - when I was still in elementary, I was really chubby. I weighed 125 lbs. the most. But now, I just weigh 97 lbs.
3. Chicken Skin - everytime my mom buys "Lechon Manok" for dinner, I would take the skin off the chicken and use it to wrap around a ball of rice, kinda like sushi but using chicken's skin.
4. Short-term Memory - I have problems remembering things. I easily forget. T__T
5. Late Reactions - when I drop things, it would take about 3-5 seconds before I would be shocked and react about it.
6. Beauty Queen - I joined the Miss United Nations when I was in kinder. I won as Miss UN, best talent, best sport wear and best in Q&A, that's why I always wanted to be part of the Miss Universe beauty pageant someday. But because I'm just 5'1 tall, so it'll just be a dream.
7. Flexibility - even without doing stretchings and warm-ups, I can split or even put my leg up.
8. Naming Stuffed Animals - I name almost all of my stuffed toys. But it's weird 'cause my teddy bear's "Teddy", my dog stuff toy's "Doggie", my panda stuffed animal's "Panda", my frog toy's "Froggie", well.. You get the picture! Yeah, I even named my cactus (real one) as "Cactie".
9. Swimming - I don't know how to swim.. T__T I would always wear a life vest.
   
10. Singer - I would always not make it to the finals of a regular singing contest, hanggang semis lang. But I already won awards in the Chinese singing contests. 1st place when I was in 2nd year, and 2nd place just last year.
11. Glutton - I'm a certified glutton. Ack! I eat a lot! Hmm.. 4 slices of pizza, pasta, 3-5 cups of ice cream, a double-cheese burger and lots of fries. I would only eat those in a single meal as a snack!
12. Dance Instructor - I'm not actually a professional DI. I just teach and choreograph dances for school performances. ^__^ (Modern and interpretative dances only.)
13. Hair Color - I plan to have purple streaks on my hair when I go to college. ^__^
14. Mushy - I used to hate mushy people whenI was in elementary. I didn't like the idea of being sweet to your bf or gf and always say or text "i love you". But now, I became a mushy person! Hehe..
15. Paint, oil, rugby - I used to like the smell of those when I was a little kid. Buti di na ngayon kundi baka mapagkamalan pa kong adik!

Now, I'm tagging Eden, Catzie, Hoth, Joanna and Ate Mika. ^__^

[currently eating: PizzaHut's SuperSupreme Cheezy Pops]
[currently listening: Ichirin No Hana by High&Mighty Colors]
[currently doing: writing articles for the journalism workshop]

Hayzzz... T__T Sorry everyone if I wasn't aroung for quite some time. Actually, it was almost two weeks! I really had a hard time after the tonsillectomy so my parents didn't allow me to use the internet back then. I really appologize for not being able to blog hop and comment. And I'm even more frustrated 'cause I can't return back all your comments today because I only have a limited time using this pc. But I promise to be back and to drop by at your sites probbably this weekend. Well, good thing there won't be any classes on Monday! Woot! More time to blog hop. ^__^

Okay, the operation wasn't really tough. The day before I was admitted at the hospital, I actually didn't have any sleep! I watched Hana Yori Dango all night long up until 11am! I was really excited to watch the season 2 that's why I didn't realize that it was already morning when I finished watching it on dvd. Hehehe.. ^__^ Nakaka-adik kasi talaga eh! Then, things didn't turn out well the afternoon 'cause before we went to the hospital, me and my mom argued first. They didn't want me to be admitted on a private room, and I was disappointed so I told them. But they took it so hard and became mad about it. Well, I think it's not that bad too to be in a semi-private room. The next day, during the operation, I was a bit nervous 'cause I was worrying that the sleeping medicine and anestesia wouldn't take effect on me. Hahaha.. I was really paranoid! But when I woke up, I was already in the recovery room and I hardly felt the pain. It was a bit tough because I can't speak well. Since, talking is one of my hobbies! Hahaha.. ^__~ The doctor and the nurses reminded my mom that I should only eat ice cream. Yup! Only ice cream as of that moment. ^__^ So I was really happy! Hehe.. I bacame even happier when me soulmate came to visit during the afternoon. ^__^ He just got from school, just roughly finished taking his exam, but he already rushed in to see me. I thought it was really sweet. So, I felt really happy. Well, not to mention, he brought me even more ice cream. Haha.. ^__^

The next day, I already returned home. And gosh! It was so hard to talk and move around. But it's much harder to eat! Imagine eating only cold liquid stuffs. It wasn't really eating.. It's just drinking them.. T__T Lugaw na malamig.. sinalang oatmeal na malamig.. sabaw na malamig.. It was the darkest days for my taste buds!!! The only good thing is that, I can eat ice cream. But eating it almost everyday, in every meat for a whole week, I also got tired of it. After 4 days, I thought I was getting better. But then, when I woke up, I felt something wrong on my throat. 'Yung tahi pala natastas! And there goes bleeding.. @__@ Ack! But luckily, it stopped after I ate ice cream and ice cubes. I was really worried back then, that I almost panicked! There were so many instances that I really wanted to cough so badly but couldn't 'cause my throat might bleed. Well, who wouldn't have cough and colds after a week of eating cold foods? Not to mention, LOTS of ice cream?!

But I'm getting better now.. I got used to drinking water immediately after a spoonful of food. So it would be easier to swallow stuffs. Just last Saturday, I already ate pizza, pasta, chicken, sushi and a lot of soild foods which I craved so much! ^__^

During those times that I was on recovery, I felt that I really needed a break. But I didn't realize that it was already June. Then comes June 4... The START of classes.. T__T

Being a senior isn't that bad, but eventhough it's still our 2nd day of classes, I felt the pressure. There were a lot of work needed to be done. And since I didn't attend the journalism workshop we had last May (the time when I was hospitalized), I needed to do assignments and write articles to be passed next week. Imagine 10 hours of non-stop school work, then at home, there are already a pile of assignments. I think I really have to do time management or else I'll end up loosing it! @__@

And that's why I haven't updated since forever.. But I'll be winding up once in a while and ranting school stuffs here.. Hehehe.. ^__^

I thought I'll be on hiatus for a week, but since I'm feeling just fine now, I'm back to the blogging business again. ^__^ Just the other day, we went to the doctor for a check-up, and I'm already scheduled for an operation on Thursday. When I heard that I should be brought to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, I was like, "Why not Wednesday evening? What will I do there the whole afternoon? Lie down on the bed the whole day?" It's weird 'cause I wasn't afraid of the operation itself. Instead, I'm afraid of the boredom I'll suffer. T__T Actually, this will be my first time to be confined in a hospital. Hehehe.. For 16 years, I've been taking really good care of myself. I so *heart* my bestfriend, soulmate and soon-to-be-husband (assuming?) for being so supportive and caring. It's the first time I've been so *kilig* to the max! ^__^ I think that's one reason why I'm so energetic nowadays and also not afraid of the operation on Thursday.

Aside from that, I thought this week I'll have a break! But instead, lots of work were piled up for me. Last Wednesday was our enrollment! Gosh! I thought my mom would have mercy on me and just let my lil sis go enroll herself and enroll me too. But my mom really persuaded or I mean, forced me to get up from bed and prepare to go to school. It was a bit devastating 'cause I really wasn't feeling well. My whole body was still in pain and my vision is a bit blurry that time (even with my glasses on). So there is me again, preparing breakfast and taking a 1-hour bath before going to school for enrollment. And guess what?! We were dead last to enroll! The enrollment was actually over, but since I'm there (dating Student Council officer, campus journalist, Yearbook chairperson and a friendly-citizen of our school, in short medyo malakas ang kapit) , the staffs there had mercy and let us enroll even if they should close the enrollment by then. ^__^ Lucky us! Hehe.. Everything went well at school, and we ate at a Chinese resto after that. We also went to SM North right after eating lunch to buy shoes, school supplies and ek-ek. My sis and I told my mom that we don't want to buy new school shoes 'cause ours are still okay and looks new even if it's a year old already. It's nice 'cause I can feel that both of us really matured enough. We don't think of ourselves solely but also of our parents. So it was really cool! ^__^ We asked our mom if she could buy us new sneakers, since mine were really worn out and my sis' were too small for her already. We bought Nike shoes and I think they're really cute! I got mine for P3.2k while my sis' were P4k. (I'll post pictures soon.) Medyo nagtampo pa nga ako kay mama 'cause she doesn't wanna buy me shoes over P3k but she bought a P4k-worth for my sis. But after thinking for a minute, I realized that I'll be having an operation that will cost P24K. Kung tutuusin, mas malaki gastos ng parents ko sa'kin kumpara sa shobe (lil sis in chinese) ko.

Okay, enough about that! This coming week, I guess I'll be busy again. We'll have a journalism seminar and a week-long meeting for the Yearbook committee. But I'll just be attending for 2 days since I have to be confined on Wednesday. (Wish me luck on project boredom, guys!) Hehe.. ^__^

Btw, I wanna thank everyone who wished me to recover sooner! ^__^ And also, to Ate Dhadha and Herschelle for giving me wonderful gifts. They're on my Gallery>>Gifts&Awards page on Purpledreamz. I'll be dropping off at your sites tomorrow or the next day I guess. I'll have to sleep now, 'cause it's already 2:30AM. Ack! ^__^

Shhhhhhhhooottt! Now there's no more 990 bundle, so I guess I'll start over and apply for plan 999. Grrr! But I'll never apply at the Malabon branch again, EVER! I'll just apply it on the Grace Park Caloocan branch since they also cater to some parts of Malabon. X__X

I haven't been updating recently. And that's because I'm sick. After all of the fun moments with sweets, ice creams, cakes and lots of pastries, here I am.. Suffering a severe tonsilitis. I mean, I usually get it due to my sweet-tooth, but this is the first time that I had a hard time talking and eating because of swollen tonsils. I had my check-up last Monday, during the election day. And hopefully, this will be healed after a week. But my doctor suggested us that I undergo an operation so this tonsils can be taken out. That means, no more tonsilitis for the rest of my life after that operation! ^__^

Not only did I suffer from that. Yesterday, I cleaned my room, redecorated it and it really took a lot of energy out of me. I had a fever since Monday, but I dunno why I became so industrious in a spark after getting sick! Eventhough I already slept for 9 hours, my body's still in pain.

These days, I've been eating a lot! Really!!! All of my pants don't fit me anymore. And I'm always hungry eventhough I just ate. I don't feel insecured about getting flabs, but one thing that concerns me the most is that when I have flabs and big stomach like this, I usually don't feel like I can dress up the way I used to. Since most of my pants don't fit me anymore, it's really hard to find something in my closet that I could wear. Last night, my sisters and I went to SM The Block. And before going, of course I need to dress up. But I really didn't feel confident and comfortable with all the clothes I tried on. There were no problems with the top, but the pants made me feel miserable. Not only that I can't breathe well with it, I also felt so short. It was just knee-length and I hated it! Those long pants I have don't fit me anymore and it's much tighter than the one I wore. Before, I had 24-25 in waist line. But now, I think it must have been on 29. It's not that bad, I guess. But I think I should stop eating too much and start excercising more. Actually, I rarely excercise! Hehehe.. But I'm also concerned about my health so I might start changing my routine. ^__^

My sister requested our dad if we can eat at a resturant the other night.. Yeah, it's typical right? But instead of eating out for dinner, we went out for midnight meals! Hehehe.. my mom and my lil sis didn't come along with us since they were sleepy and all that. But the three of us, me, my dad and sister enjoyed eating with no other customers in the resto except for ourselves. Biruin mo! It was already quarter to 1AM when we left. Magsasara na nga 'yung resto eh! Hehehe.. But it was fun.. I really like eating midnight meals, 'cause I always crave for food when it's really late in the evening. But as I've typed on the first paragraph, I must control my eating.. So I won't end up being too bloated! ^__^

Well, just this Wednesday, my sister arrived from Singapore. And just yesterday, the eldest among us four visited us. She might stay here for a while though. Hehehe.. As I think about it, the more it looks like a reunion! Hehe.. 'Nuff about that! ^__^

My sister, the one from Singapore, suggested me to give it a shot on applying for a scholarship in Singapore. I want to try, but I am really scared. There's always this thought "What if I was accepted?" Then, I should leave right away.. And I really don't want to leave just yet 'cause there are really important people whom I'll miss so much. Kapal ko! Di pa nga nag-aaply nag-iisip na ng ganito. On the other hand, it's not that bad to think about possibilities, right? ^__^ I'm still not decided if I would go for it. *confused* But I guess I would continue to thik about it, since I will really benefit a lot if I am accepted there.

*sigh* I guess I'll be sleeping now.. I still haven't got some decent sleep. And my stomach hurts a bit.. I know I'm hungry right now.. But I shouldn't be hungry.. I just ate an hour ago.. T__T Sige, itutulog ko nalang 'to..para di na ko mapalamon.. >__<
