we're back and we're broke... (back-broke!!!!)
but i can't wait to go back...
i have to go back...
we have to go back...

Guys, sorry if I've been MIA...

pics will be uploaded soon... (hopefully, since i still owe the team xmas party pics. back-logs are piling... deadliest deadlines are fast-approaching!)

PPR time! hope it will turn out well... it's actually 1:37 now, since I browsed a little - well yeah, quite a lot. semi-technology dependent...i can actually go on days/weeks without tv/net etc... but not that long! sort of need to make up for lost time!!! ahaha

can't help but feel betrayed... someone has been definitely unfair... so not good for you... besides since when has it been "good for you". ahahaha...

australians seem cute! lims, i know what i want as pasalubong from australia now! *wink* >>> and no, i have not been to australia! i am but a middle-class citizen and i can only wish...

thanks

these came in today....thanks...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! GOD BLESS!

tiredness...

just got back from the oathtaking ceremony @ the Manila Hotel.

going mad on polka dots!!! ika nga ni polo: "annie batungbakal!!!" ahaha... well, at least i felt i stood out! ahaha so yeah, it's true as long as you feel good about yourself and what you're wearing... who cares what other people say! from the very start i was really going for a "polka-dotted" outfit. good thing i found one that is within budget! ehehe

Well, technically we left at around i guess 4:30pm but we headed to superbowl greenhills where we met my sibs and aunt and cousins. and yeah, yesterday after Mass we went to Makati to the some "gift shopping/hunting". not really have a long list but still have a few to buy still. so now i'm left with work-related stuff(i can count 5 on my list!!!!grrrrrr!!!!), semi-work-related stuff (ahem xmas party #2), buying the remaining "gifts", writing cards for the fam, wrapping gifts for the fam, wrapping gifts for around 50 people (splitting the work with jen), packing... whew! so it's really kind of been hectic. i wonder how other people seem to be able to do more. anyway, gotta catch up on the work-related stuff...

again, CONGRATULATIONS to all the new chemical engineers!!!
thank you Lord, for making all things happen...
thank you Papa and Mama, for always being there...
thank you batchmates, for the camaraderie and a memorable college life...
thank you janna and joddy, for the bonding sessions...
thank you friends, for all the prayers, chats, breathers, sessions, etc...
to everyone else and everyone (huh?!!!), for the memories, and being a part of my life.

pictures will be uploaded in my multiply site. (hopefully batchmates will give me a copy of the pix from their camera too! ehehe)

ATTN: batchmates, txt nio/inform nio nman ako please kung kelan kayo kuha nung pix! thx! :)

look up in the sky! pollutants galore?!!!!

they're so nice to look at (nevermind the damage to the atmosphere?). anyway, these pics make me feel somewhat better with my camera... i am not a hobbyist or anything but that olympus camera i saw in the papers one time was sooo cool! the one you can actually take with you when you're snorkeling... but fact of life, you can't have everything. so i'm lucky i have one of my own. that should matter more. one thing sucks though, watching the fireworks through an LCD screen!. i'll upload the videos (with all the shaking that might make you feel a little dizzy) on my multiply next time.

i have my dress for the oathtaking! Many thanks Sodexho! ahaha! really what a pleasant surprise... but still have quite a handful to buy or accomplish still.

Box full of memories

Disclaimer: Again pardon for all the drama, apparently I’m on this emo mode which I don’t know when will end…

I was digging through this “box” were I kept thingamajings with “sentimental values” and came across this unused card which I bought sometime in 2002… 4 years pala not three… that f*cking long already… I’m that f*cking old… I’m a f*cking overage member of the nbsb crew already.. when will I f*cking graduate?… or will I ever?

Words by Derrick Barnes

Never in my wildest dreams
would I have thought
that I would ever meet
a soul as beautiful as you.
If someone would’ve told me
that in my future
an angel would drop from the sky
into my world,
I wouldn’t have believed them,
even if they were psychic.
The things you speak of, your thoughts,
the way you express and share
your emotions –
all blend perfectly with
how I’ve always longed to feel.
If there is, indeed,
“somebody for everybody”
in this great big place,
my “someone” has arrived.
You have given me
a joy beyond words
and a love that everyone
hopes to find.
Seems as if we’re allowed
one true love…
and you are mine.

I can remember me especially liking the last line. As always, regrets… somehow I think I wouldn’t be like this right now if I did this and that…

not so random song:
Sometimes it's wrong to walk away, though you think it's over
Knowing there's so much more to say
Suddenly the moment's gone
And all your dreams are upside down
And you just wanna change the way the world goes round
Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, cos I loved and lost the day I let you go
Can't help but think that this is wrong, we should be together
Back in your arms where I belong
Now I've finally realised it was forever that I've found
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round
Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, cos I loved and lost the day I let you go
I really wanna hear you say that you know just how it feels
To have it all and let it slip away, can't you see
Even though the moment's gone, I'm still holding on somehow
Wishing I could change the way the world goes round
Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Can't you see, (ohhh) that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, (I should know) cos I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let you go
