Weekend News
Nov 27, 2006 Daily Blurbs, Work
Yesterday, I met up with Lexie and Ringo at Robinson’s Galleria with Ryan. We ate at Greenwich and had our meeting there about our business. We have upcoming projects that we need to focus on. So that means, I need to make a lot of web templates for our clients. I have made 1, so far. I’ve been out of the house this weekend, and I didn’t have enough time to make lots of templates.
After the meeting, Ryan and I went to different boutiques to find a shirt for him. He just wants to buy a new shirt to make him feel better because he was in a bad mood before he came to the mall. Apparently, his aunt and him had a little dispute. He chose this plain white shirt with a brown logo at the back and some fancy trimming on the sleeves. We then watched a movie, Happy Feet.
Quote from the movie:
Memphis: What’s going on there? What are you doing?
Baby Mumble: [tap dancing] I’m happy!
Memphis: What’s with your feet?
Baby Mumble: They’re happy, too!
A friend of mine works at Robinson’s Movieworld, and he said that we shouldn’t watch the movie because it’s for kids, but I knew it would be fun to see the movie since I still enjoy watching cartoons. Ryan and I enjoyed the movie and he was even trying hard copying the tap dancing on our way out of the theater. Hahaha! Mumble, the tap dancer, was so cute when he was a baby penguin. He’s got blue eyes and chubby body. He was voiced by Elijah Wood. Some other celebrities who voiced the characters are Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Brittany Murphy and Robin Williams.
We ended our date by playing DotA for an hour at Tom’s World. We didn’t win 1 mission! I used Rylai, as my hero. I am getting the hang of the game.
Today, my family planned to go SM Megamall to buy new clothes for Christmas. Ryan and I had other plans because we were going to hear mass. My mom and dad told me to just tell him to go to Megamall and join us.
In Megamall, we had lunch first at Goldilocks. My sister’s classmate was also with us because she slept in our house for 2 nights. So there were 8 of us. Lunch was good, the food were yummy! After eating, my dad handed each of us kids with Php2000 to do our Christmas shopping. Ryan and I separated from them and did our own shopping.
I tried on so many clothes. Ryan helped me pick out clothes. There was this V-neck blouse at People are People that I liked. It is aqua blue with some cool print across the front. It’s got a bit of my back showing when I tried it on, Ryan didn’t like it. Ugh.. So, we went to Terranova and found this long-sleeved v-necked blouse with some print on it. He liked it, but I was a bit uncomfortable because the neckline showed a bit of my cleavage. It’s weird that he liked to show my cleavage and not my back… Guys are weird.
We ended up not buying anything because our time was up. We needed to go to EDSA Shrine and hear mass. After the mass, we ate at KFC for dinner. He wanted to play DotA again but I wasn’t in the mood. So we decided to have coffee at Gloria Jean’s. We spent an hour there, talking and flipping through this magazine and commenting on the clothes we see on celebrities, while looking through coffee franchises.
Of course, parting is such a sweet sorrow, he always says. He held my hand too tight while we were walking towards the taxi stand. We noticed that time passes by so quickly when we are together. I guess, when you’re having a good time with someone, time just seems to fly… Another 5 days of waiting.

Time Flies
Nov 21, 2006 Daily Blurbs
Time does fly so fast.
I remember, last year, I was feeling so down and so sick of working the graveyard shift, selling computers to stingy foreigners, thinking that, they live in the richest country and yet they don’t want to spend money for the type of computer they need. 
Anyway, by this time last year, I was already thinking of quitting my job. At that time, I was hesitant because I kept thinking about the money that I still could earn until Christmas time. At least, that’s what my mom kept on telling me at that time. But, I realized, I’ve never been in and out of the doctor’s office since I got into selling those lemon computers! So, I decided to resign. By December 1 I was free.
Life wasn’t easy.
I was a bum again, but I’ve never felt so light and free from stress. I enjoyed the holidays with my family. I was able to spend the money I worked for, for presents to my family, friends and godchildren.
By January, my dad was already pressuring me to fix my school papers so that I can go back. I was procrastinating, yep, I’m great at that. Well, what I did was go to different places as much as I could. I spent time with friends, go out with my family, watch movies, have fun! I had the time of my life for a while.
Of course, it gets lonely sometimes…
By summer of this year, I was determined to go back to school. I was able to persuade my dad to let me enroll with the course I like. He agreed but made me promise that I’d do my best. Of course, I would. I mean, this is my last chance. I don’t want to go on with my life knowing that I didn’t finish the course I like!
I was able to finish fixing my school papers. So, by June, I was able to enroll. I opted for a school near my place so that I wouldn’t feel lazy to travel to and from it. When school started on the 19th, I was a bit nervous because I was expecting my classmates to be really young. Well, most of them are. But I was surprised that I got along with most of them.
I am enjoying my life now, knowing that I am doing what I love. On top of that, I met a man who loves me and, so far, has never judged me by anything. I can’t explain what kind of state I am in right now. I think, this is what they call euphoria. But I can’t be too sure. Of course, there will be bumps in the road, but I am determined to move forward with my head held high!
Plus, Christmas is here again! I wanted to buy some stuff online, and I also looked into Ebay. I wanted to sell some of my old boots from Fifth Avenue, but I didn’t know how to sell stuff, it’d be my first time. So found free ebay templates. It was very helpful. I will post my url for eBay when all my items are there.

Too Emotional?
Nov 18, 2006 Daily Blurbs
I was a fortress, so strong and brave. I know no tears, I know no sadness. I used to have this wall around me, protecting me from all the hurts and pains of life. I don’t let everyone in because if I do, I give that person the license to hurt me. But I took a risk. I let him in. I let him see the vulnerable side of Andreana.
I realized little things can make me cry. Whether something touched my heart so deeply, or when I am too overwhelmed with positive emotions, or when sadness just clouds my head. My eyes involuntarily fill with tears. I sound emotional don’t I?
One night, I saw this commercial by Smart Communications. The wife is feeding his husband who is on a wheelchair, and it looks to me that he just had a stroke and couldn’t speak. His wife would tell him that the food she’s feeding him would make him stronger in no time. It showed how the wife really loved her husband. In the commercial, the wife went to the kitchen to get/do something, when her phone beeped. The message, I believe, said, “Ma, I love you. Salamat.” Or something like that. The camera focused on the husband, and he was using his other hand to send an SMS to his wife. For the things he couldn’t say, he expressed through a text message. When I saw that, I was like, “Aww…that’s so sweet!” I told my mom that I felt like crying, and voila! Tears rolled down my cheeks.
How emotional is that, my friends?
Last night, Ryan and I were talking on the phone. I told him that I enjoyed the day. We spent the afternoon at the SM Mall of Asia. He went there after his shift, 3:30am til 12:30pm. So that means, he hasn’t had any sleep yet. I told him how much I appreciate everything that he does. Even if he’s tired, he ALWAYS brings me home safely. I told him that this is the first time that I am experiencing things like this from a guy. I also asked if he gets tired physically going back and forth and back and forth our home to his, but he said, that’s not the right question. The right question is “Are you getting tired of doing the same thing every week?” He said, “Yes physically, I get tired. I’m only human. But I do like what I am doing. I can’t let you go home with the thought that something bad might happen to you. I won’t be able to live with myself.” With that, I started to cry. Err.. right now, just thinking about it, is making me cry again. After a few more minutes, we decided to call it a night and get some sleep. He said that we’d see each other again in the morning.
Which, did not happen. I called him at 12nn and asked how his sleep was. He said, it was good. I told him that I just finished lunch, he said that he’d eat and then head here. Then, he changed his mind. He said that it’s his uncle’s birthday, who’s just 26 by the way, and asked if it’s OK if he didn’t come here anymore, and reasoned we’d see each other tomorrow to hear mass. Of course, I was disappointed. I couldn’t hide the disappointment in my voice. Suddenly, I just didn’t know what to say. I know that I should be very understanding, and I do understand, it’s just that, when you expect something to happen and it doesn’t, of course your initial reaction would be disappointment. I found myself crying, and he told me to stop crying because it’s making him feel bad. I am not saying he should feel bad, but, it’s partly his fault, too. He forgot that it’s his uncle’s birthday, if he had remembered, he would’ve told me beforehand that we won’t meet today, and then I won’t be feeling sucky because I am disappointed.
I told him that I’ll just call him again. He didn’t want to put the phone down, but he keeps on saying he didn’t want to hear me sad. I said that he should let me recover first, and then I’ll call him. But he insisted that he can’t put the phone down knowing that I am crying. Then he decided he’d just come here. Maybe he felt guilty. I told him not to anymore, because I don’t want him to come here because he HAD to, I want him here because he WANTS to. But he said he would. So I told him that he’s confusing me. After crushing me down, he tries to build me up again. But after all that’s been said, I just told him to stay where he is, and he quickly agreed.
Part of me wants him to be here with me, but part of me doesn’t want to be unfair. I know I shouldn’t cry all the time that we can’t see each other. I only cried because my mind was already set that he’ll be here, if otherwise, I wouldn’t even feel so sad. Until now, I still feel disappointed and sad, but I don’t want him to know. I made him believe that I am ok now, so he could put the phone down and eat lunch. After the conversation, I bawled in my bed.
Not everyone can make me feel this way, vulnerable. But since I let him in, it just means he can make or break my day. Even if I shouldn’t let outside factors ruin my day, it just happens, because that’s how it is designed. I mean, why would I ruin MY day? That’s pathetic.
So I guess, I’ll just keep myself busy today. Maybe, I’ll just play The Sims 2 the rest of the afternoon.
