stranded @ bora - day2

June 21, 2008

Day2 was basically a day of rainshowers and being soaked. Contrary to what we expected, Frank didn't leave the country. Instead, it diverted its direction from Northeast to Northwest. In short, dinaanan mismo ang Boracay to Manila going up north. Sobrang saya! So our planned late summer vacation turned out to be a test for survival (rainshowers, huge waves, brownout, no cellphone signal, etc.). For them, that's about it. But for me, I continued having slight fever which prompted me to take more paracetamols. Not to mention my upset stomach and the constant gas! Hahaha.

But we won't let this vacation go to waste. Sabi nga, make the most out of what you have. So we used the strong winds ang Siargao-like waves as our props for our photo shoots. Pati naligaw na troso ginamit namin para mas dramatic ang shots. Iba talaga ang boy scout! We could have decided to swam pero nung nasa may waves na kami eh may pumito nang mga tanod ata. Sinabi nang may bagyo ang kukulit talaga ng mga taga Maynila! Haha. The afternoon was boring. Hotel arrest lang kami dahil sa lakas ng ulan. At syempre ako...ang unang natulog! As expected.

stranded @ bora - day1

June 20, 2008

The much-awaited day had finally arrived. After 2 days of planning and a month of waiting, we were on our way to Boracay last Friday. I planned not to sleep since I'll be hitching a ride with Ronillo early Friday dawn. So I just waited for his text at Starbucks People Support. Come 4am, we were on our way to the domestic airport. And knowing this driver, as usual we got lost. Napunta kami instead sa NAIA. Great! Met up with Jamby, Gilbert, Leigh, and Warren sa airport. Surprisingly, the flight wasn't delayed. We landed at the Caticlan Airport quarter to seven. Nakakatakot nga kasi namiscalculate ng piloto ang ikot, so instead of landing eh isang pasada pa ng ikot. Another great!

I'm known to be a killjoy when it comes to outings. Eh anong magagawa ko, I haven't slept yet. So after having lunch, bagsak na ko. Habang sila eh ineenjoy ang Boracay sand at water. Woke up at around 6pm with a slight fever. At medyo malakas na ang alon sa beach. Not to mention na sobrang lakas na ng hangin. Ayun, we had dinner sa D'Mall habang si Leigh eh bagsak sa kama. Kawawang Warren. Syempre planado na ang inuman. So after dinner, we just watched PDA then headed back to the beach for the booze. Stayed at Hey Jude, watched the fire zippers (forgot the name of the sport but it makes use of wires and fire na iniikot ikot nila), and booze booze booze. After 2 Singapore slings and a bottle of SanMigLight, ang daldal ko na. Kung ano ano nang tinatanong ko sa kanila. Haha. By experience, two bottles and bagsak na si kaloyster. So pagdating sa hotel room, I just brushed my teeth and washed my face then bagsak na ulit. Kung ano daw yung pwesto ko nung humiga ako eh yun din ang pwesto ko all throughout the night hanggang paggising ko. At nung gabing yun, nagumpisa na ang hobby ko! Haha.

allercologist

Ewan ko ba pero pag may naisip ako na bagong bagay, hindi ako mapalagay hangga't hindi ko sya nagagawa. Recently, I've been thinking to do something big on my 27th birthday. Oo na! Tanda ko na! Planning to have my hair coloured again just like last year. Kaya nagpahaba na ulit ako ng buhok. But been there, done that already. I need something new. Something better. Something far from ordinary. Then I've thought...

TATTOO! Yeah why not? So long as hindi sya kita eh wala akong poproblemahin. Kelangan lang tago sa mata ng mga tao sa bahay or else...

But first things first, I have to know whether I'm allergic to the real thing. I don't wanna experience the same thing when I've had my henna tattoo last April. So this time I wanna be sure if it's okay. If my body can handle the chemicals. LOL

So last night, I visited an allercologist and had my series of tests. She recommended several tests. Ang dami eh pero basically sa blood and she suggested an X-Ray of my sinus. Weird no pero instead of chest eh mukha, all sides ang pinaX-ray nya. I've mentioned kasi na may allergic rhinitis ako. So gusto nya irule out lahat ng possibilities.

Anyways, will be getting my results hopefully by Wednesday so I can get back to my doctor the same night. Gusto ko may sagot na ako before ako magBoracay! hehe

Ganyan mag-isip si kaloyster. Sugod agad! So hopefully before my big day, may TATTOO na ko!!! Design? Naiisip ko pa lang is barcode. I really like the barcode on my nape pero let's see...

have you ever?

"Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever?"


Kasalanan ba kung makamiss ka ng isang tao?
Pucha! Kelangan ko nang mag Boracay!!!

french open results

I never liked Roger Federer. I don't want him to be known as the greatest tennis player of all time. Okay, I'm a Sampras fan. Get it now? So basically, I'll be rooting for anyone playing against him in any surface. And thanks to Rafa Nadal for spoiling Federer's bid of becoming the 6th man to win the four grand slams and solidifying his status as the best.

Rafa beat Roger in straight sets 6-1 6-3 6-0 for his fourth consecutive Roland Garros, equalling the same feat set by Bjorn Borg. This has been Federer's worst beating in a grand slam. And this has also been the third consecutive year that Nadal beat Federer in the French Open Finals. The first time Rafa won the title, he beat Roger during the semifinals. This reminds me of the rivalry between Sampras and Michael Chang before.

On the women's side, Ana Ivanovic won against the improved Dinara Safina in straight sets as well. She also got the number one rank in the WTA race. Justine Henin's surprising retirement has opened the ground for three players to get the top ranking (Sharapova, Ivanovic, Jankovic). And by the way, I never liked Sharapova. She's got that irritating noise when playing. Reminds me of Venus Williams and Monica Seles.

rudy fernandez, r.i.p.

Nagulat ako pagkasabi ng kapatid ko na namatay na si Rudy Fernandez kaninang umaga dahil sa Peri-Ampullary cancer. Akala ko talaga eh pagaling na sya dahil sa operation and chemotherapy. Yun pala eh nireject ng katawan nya yung treatment. Nakakaawa talaga.

Naalala ko tuloy bigla si Nanay. Pancreatic cancer naman yung kanya. I dunno if these are just the same pero based sa medical description and effects eh parang pareho lang. Swerte na rin pala si Nanay kasi hindi na namin sya pina-undergo ng chemo. I'm sure mas mahihirapan sya kung ganun. Nakakalungkot.

seeing poon

And so it goes. I was having a hard, very difficult time managing my hair. Unlike the days when I was almost skinhead, my styling time now takes 5-10 minutes. Ayaw sumunod ng buhok ko sa wax! Pag walang gel para namang isang kumpol ng buhok lang. haha

Then I went to Galleria for an errand. Then there was Fix, so I got fixed! LOL. It's a good thing Del, my stylist since college, was there and available. So trim lang pinagawa ko since nagpapahaba nga ako ng buhok kasi magsisplurge ako ng treatment sa birthday ko. VAIN! haha. And then rinse. And then style.

Then suddenly may bulung-bulungan sa isang sulok. "Sya yung kumakanta..." Syempre alam kong hindi ako yun since boses palaka ako. haha. Eh masakit na ulo ko so diretso na ako sa cashier to pay. Then suddenly, alam ko na kung sino pinagbubulungan nila.

Si Richard Poon pala, POON as in spoon at hindi yung santo. Eh idol ko yun! May CD nga ako kahit na Standard ang genre nya. Pero masarap kasing pampatulog yun eh. Sayang hindi ko dala yung cd. Libreng autograph sana! Badtrip. Then nung inaantay ko na yung receipt eh magbabayad na rin pala sya. Pinigilan ko talagang huwag ilabas ang N95 8gig with 5megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss lens ko *whew*. Gusto ko pa-pic para may kasama naman tong blog entry ko! Maglalakas loob na talaga ako...



Kaso, wala rin. Haha. Nakakahiya eh. Next time na lang. Aabangan ko ulit sya sa Fix. And next time I'll see to it na dala ko na yung CD nya. haha. STARSTRUCK!!!
