random facts about me -- who cares!?!

for the spirit of gayahan!

honestly, every blog i read lately has this. sometimes 10 things you should know about me. 7 random facts about me, 9, 15? 2? 4 would be nice. superbianca gave out 25.

my favorite number is 8 (so i will let you know 8 things about me, i have 7 more) because you can draw a cat from it! just add eyes, ears and a tail.

this is hard! haha! im not enjoying! haha! you cant really say that "hey! im a loser!" or "i can do alot of ripley's believe it or not shit" unless you want to freak people out with your bluntness.

i play the guitar.

when i was young, playmates refer to me as lavinia. the mean girl from the cartoon/tv series/movie princess sarah. so that makes them the princess sarah! haha! i dont get why those ugly, stupid girls said that!? i was dead nice to them! :P

i cant eat anything with calamansi in it.

im a rusher! i love chico and delle!

i cut classes in high school. just on math, i don't understand a thing so why waste time sitting there. i wasted time sitting in the cafeteria instead.

im an only daughter -- of a broken couple.

saranggola sa ulan - gary granada

Naririnig ko pa, ang bawat hagikhik ng una kong sinta at kalarong paslit
At ang sabi ng matatanda, siya ay maalwan ako’y dukha
Di raw kami bagay at kayraming dahilan, ngunit si bakekang ay walang pakialam
Sa aming kamusmusan kayraming palaisipan, ngunit tatlong bagay ang aking natutunan
Ang pag-asa’y walang hanggan,
pag-ibig ay walang hadlang at lilipad ang saranggola sa ulan

At kung ang pagsinta ay di man nagtagal, ang mas mahalaga natutong magmahal
Umibig ng walang panghihinayang, kahit malamang na masaktan
Kanina lang saking tabi, may aleng lumiko, at sa pagmamadali nasagi ang aking puso
Heto na naman ako sa 'king kabaliwan na sinasabi nga nilang “suntok sa buwan”
Ngunit hindi hihindian ng tulad kong natuto nang magpalipad ng saranggola sa ulan

Gaya ng lagi’t laging sinasabi ko o siyanawa ay siyananga ang totoo
Heto na naman ako sa king kabaliwan na sinasabi nga nilang “suntok sa buwan”
Ngunit hindi hihindian ng tulad kong natuto nang magpalipad ng saranggola sa ulan

Heto ako’t tumatandang nakahandang panindigan ang bato sa tubig ay lulutang
At lilipad ang saranggola sa ulan.

-- kay tagal kong hinanap ang kantang yan mula ng marinig kong kinanta ni jimmy bondoc sa sabado boys! napakahusay ni gary granada!

i'm back! -- who cares!

hi readers! (haha!)
if i have any.. --feeling.. assuming..

okay, time for a real post.

i was at starbucks last time to check my mail, pinutol kasi ni smartbro connection namin. its my first visit this year and i have to say that i didn't enjoy it. i don't know, i use to be a sucker for that kind of thing but now i feel that its just stupid to waste that much money on coffee. naisip ko, 20 pieces na diaper na yon ng anak ko. you have to admit that their coffee is way too expensive! plus their wi-fi suck!

before id finish a tall cafe latte while doing my thing on my sony vaio or sometimes reading my magazines looking all rich,chat with my smoking friends who thinks that smoking at starbucks will make smoking or them any better, talk to the barista in english and have a venti strawberries and cream frap to go. boy, i was preppy-- and stupid.

i use to go every night during decembers for a planner and i did that for 3 years! it was gratifying. now i find it embarrassing.

my last visit was the time to wake up from my western wonderland.

not that i hate it now. maybe because i use to have so much time to waste and a little more money to spend on luxurious things. now i cant afford to waste my time on sipping my coffee very slowly so i can prolong my stay at this fab coffeehouse waiting for someone to notice me. na tumatambay ako sa starbucks. uy! big time! haha! bob ong wrote something about filipinos like that. dying to be western.

sabi nga ni bob ong kung sino man ang nag-franchise ng mga coffee shop dito sa pinas e kilalang-kilala ang mga pinoy. coffee shops are more of a comfort zone. its nice to get pampered and to feel that you are being served, that you are important once in a while. it is more of an escape from the chaos outside. so sinong pinoy ang hindi mahuhumaling?

i cant do that anymore! -- so i bought a coffee maker, and ground coffee beans from starbucks and voila! sosyal at home! hehe! the coffee itself is what i love anyway!

hindi ko maintindihan ang position ko dito. im torn between my coffee and my money! :) nagkukuripot lang pala.
