luuuv stories...

i don't know if cherry is being sarcastic or funny. she texts me to say she has a writing job for me. i was busy dubbing a tape of the anniv last sunday that i can't call her local. she finally asks me via sms if i can write love stories for a magazine.

wahahaha.

that was my reaction. i only write tragic love stories. *lol* the frog prince story was something out of my heart, that's why it came out nicely that way. writing fictional stuff? nginig. and cherry tells me a PG13 story is ok.

she doesn't know i ghost write for xerex once in a while.

wahahaha.

good bye jopen

last friday we had an impromtu despedida for jopen who's leaving for the land down under tonight. bawal ang iyakan!


all smiles.

after chowing down at friday's, we headed to starbucks 6750. as usual the other girls went loco again over their favorite gazoos. cherry and i, talked about the usual bitterness surrounding our families and work. but then i couldn't stop myself from joining in the fun.


turning japanese este korean. asan ang pansit?

but the night didn't end there. jopen, charles, leah and me went to solas near abs-cbn for a little alcohol in the head. i was so sleepy already i kept yawning and yawning and analyzing. charles gave me his male pov. jopen on the other hand told me not to believe anything he said because charles thinks differently than the average male. well sige na nga.

but i'm ok really. i don't care anymore.

jopen take care. it's a whole new adventure for you. i will sorely miss you.

ni zai na li?

i'll let you go, i'll let you fly...

someone worth it all

my sister pointed out the lyrics of this song carrie sang with country group rascal flatts while we were watching the american idol replay last night. i didn't mind the song first time i watched cause i was just glancing now and then at the TV. work called for my whole attention.

the lyrics just touched me. it sort of gives me hope. i dunno. i feel hopeless most of the time when i think of the thing called love. the things i've been through. the joy and all the pain. i guess it will eventually lead to someone worth it all.

Bless The Broken Road
Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

american idol

ps. ivy ayan updated kahit papano and yes i did kiss the frog. *lol*

the frog prince

nce upon a time in a kingdom not so far away there lived a princess, who was living a simple yet complicated life. she was often times heartbroken and would go to the small stream behind their castle to rant. the princess would cast her pains and sorrows to the stream, talking to herself, letting her tears create small ripples in the water.

one day as she was procrastinating, a frog suddenly jumps on a lily pad and starts talking to her. he wondered if they'd get along. they talked and talked about anything and everything. amazed at the wise words that the frog conveyed to her that the princess would now visit the stream hoping that she would be able to talk to him. the frog answered her questions and would console her, took her tortured heart by the hand and somehow healed her. finally someone who understood.

then out of the blue, during one of their talks, the frog asks for a kiss. though a bit taken aback, the princess obliges. after all they were friends now. the princess kisses the frog (or was it the frog who kissed the princess?) and he turns into a handsome prince. the kiss somehow changed the way things are with the princess and her newly found prince charming. they were still friends yet there was something building between them which got the princess confused.

prince charmings usually save the damsels in distress, and the princess felt like he did save her from misery. but suddenly things changed yet again. the prince after a while became busy with princely duties and 'man stuff' that he didn't have time for the princess anymore. they talked less and less. until the princess wondered if he still thinks about her. or even remembers her. and he disappeared without much of an explanation.

so the princess was lonely once again. she thought that maybe the frog prince would be different but in the end he was not. he was just the same as the prince charmings, who came and went, the ones that left scars on her heart. and this scar was deeper than the others. because she missed their talks. she missed their friendship. but it was too late now. the deed was done.

now the princess sits by the stream once more, creating small ripples in the water with her tears.

the end.

moral of the story:
princess
1. don't talk to strange frogs.
2. don't kiss frog princes. besides being warty they are still male.
3. the princess should hang out at other streams. or maybe just go to the town country fair.

frog
1. don't talk to broken hearted princesses. they are still vulnerable.
2. smart frogs should just remain friends with princesses who give them kisses.
3. frog princes should ask kermit the frog some pointers on being a good frog.

aja!

"Believe in happy endings... if you're not happy then it is not the end yet..."

i 'bumped' into this quote somewhere in PEX land. it's like saying 'AJA' to me. maybe it is...

just came from the talent center 13th anniv mtv shoot. kung kelan naman ako walang dalang jacket, we hung out sa studio 10 where it was super duper cold. it was a lot of fun amidst the chaos of the shoot. kasi nga talent center is one big family so it was like one big family reunion. almost all the stars andun, it will run til 11 tonight and may continuation pa tomorrow.

we arrived at the studio in time to catch desiree del valle's shoot. gawd. sabi ko nga kina ana natotomboy ako sa kanya. she's so sexy!


i just couldn't help asking des to strike a pose!

idol ko na si des. i'm already on a diet but i'm really going to get serious about it. not only for the galera trip but for the rest of the year.

kayanin kaya yun ng powers ko? *gulp*

extremes

the past 2 days were extremes for me. tuesday i was all out formal. sabi nga ni ana parang may awards night daw akong pupuntahan. hey isn't it nice too look pretty once in a while? people nga naman, if you look too good, you have a date. pwede naman magpaganda ng wala ha. :)

then yesterday, i was very beach-y. having a dry run for galera on the 20th. yahoo. finally vacation. okay. here is what the 2 extremes looked like.


picture a: the award winning all black number. picture b: the japanese/chinese inspired beach wear.

the beach attire got me through my 20 hour workday yesterday. yup you read that right. got another star magic catalog pictorial and it ended at 330 in the morn. i was sooo zonked out. i was the instant (was informed of the job minutes before the pictorial staff left ABS-CBN) photographer's assistant and we did 8 artists (the diva's maoui, michelle and glaiza; shaina, rayver, bea, john lloyd and sweet)all in one day. buti na lang i was in slippers. too bad darwin wasn't there to do my do. but sir david and i came up with a new pictorial session. the results will be coming out soon.

but don't wait for it with bated breath cause i'm no cindy crawford. heehee.

interesting

got your attention right? hmm...do you have a secret to share? go here. maybe i'll see your skeleton in the closet there one of these days.

or maybe you'll see mine.

full moon

it seems that everyone's not their usual self. or is it me who's not in my usual katinuan? anyway good thing i got to chat with chelo. and what i did made the truth all sink in. all the way to the bottom. i know now that that is all there is to it. sabi na nga ba too much fuss over nothing. eh.

im chucking out these feelings outside the window. let's get it on.

much ado about nothing

hey. i'm back. i tried some kind of a withdrawal from my blog and from PEX for a week. it was some kind of relief. and sacrifice in a way. yet i still feel empty. much fuss over nothing. ha. the only thing that made me happy over the weekend was me getting 'that' thing. quentin so much for world peace happening. :)

so what else came up except for me being more bitter? weeell i wore colorful clothes last friday, thinking it would lift my spirits. i was excited to wear my purple juicy couture jacket. but then when i got to the office, my boss said i looked like barney.


bleh. so i look like my most hated character. at least my armpits don't stick to my sides. bleh.

nuff of the funnies. i just can't help spreading the bitterness around. those who can relate just sing my song on my mind with me.

i hope HE does explain. because i just don't get it sometimes.

life's sneaky ways

yes i'm gonna quote alanis morisette. life has a funny way of sneaking up on people. fate has a funny way of saying the joke's on you. yes. i thought i was a-ok till the truth then again sprung on me like a jack-in-the-box.

hearing those names. para nanaman akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. or should i say two bottles of san mig light. ayoko na. i don't want to be another statistic. another name on a long list. another conquest. i plan to dye my hair black. to maybe punish myself for being so stupid. and make it a reminder of the pain i've inflicted on myself.

ok ok the joke's on me. should i start laughing now?

labor day!

This was the supposed day of our bora trip (which has been pushed to june *eh*). it's been sweltering hot these past weeks and yesterday was no exception. i was peeved because i had to work on a sunday, a supposed holiday plus the fact that i didn't get to hang at the mall or even sleep late...

1030 am: i was already at the office in my white shirt and handy dandy mini (i wouldn't be caught dead in jeans while trudging in the hot sun...ang lagkit nun). i had to pick up lunch for everyone at the farmers mall in cubao and gulay it was so hot, the service van's aircon couldn't cool me and the utility men down. first waah. when i got back to the office parang nanghihina na agad ako...but! i managed to squeeze in a little picture time...


plopping down beside gidget at the hallway of dressing rooms 17-19. it's lunch time :)

200 pm: time to gather everyone into 4 vans and set off to raja sulayman along roxas boulevard. had no choice but to sit at the back and be burnt by the scorching sun through the van's not tinted windows...


good thing leah was beside me. we sung at the top of our lungs much to our artist's amusement. oh and yeah someone was making me smile here. someone pretty bad :P

330 pm: ay! the ultimate stickiness! ni ayaw namin magdikit nina aby dahil argh ang lagkit ng feeling. we had to get the stars dressed, line them up for pictorials, interviews and the presentation. yung iba pasaway pa. but the clothes were great and the boys and girls were ok over all.


karel marquez on stand by for an interview for Qpids


si glaiza habol sa retouch before their picture taking

for some more photos of the Flores De Mayo go here.

600 pm: as day turns into night the boys and girls get restless. who wouldn't? with the summer heat, the stuffy and itchy clothes, high heels and makeup i'd be wanting to run to air conditioned shakey's just across the street, order a thin crust pizza and a pitcher of rootbeer.


me and dear friend maoui david while she's lining up for the presentation. her neck is actually complaining sa tight necklace and her legs are all sweaty because of her petticoats. paano nga ba siya makakaupo?


ang pogi naman ng mamang to...carlo aquino threatening to escape in a jeepney or kalesa. he even pretended (yeah kunwari lang) to bribe us...with pizza *lol*

630 pm: even the staff was getting restless. jet valle and my boss makes chika to jc cuadrado and we realize he was absolutely cute and charming. sooo...when he suddenly sits down beside me on the bench, sa kawalan ng magawa we went on fan mode *lol*


me the ultimate anti-showbiz (before i worked in abs) having a fan pic moment. kahiya!

730 pm: we started walking for the sagala. and it was no short stroll in the park. it was a 3 km, stress inducing, sweat producing walkathon. buti na lang good natured pa rin ang mga artista. tawa na lang kami ng tawa. and i was surprised, a lot of people do still recognize some of our artists (yes, di pa din kami papatalo sa kapuso harhar!). we still produce the best stars. eat your heart out kapitbahay na network. :P


bawal magpahinga! haha...pagod na si alwyn and jill. but they still walked to the finish line!


Nagpapatawa na lang kami nina Thess. Pero nagrereklamo na din yung mga paa namin...

900 pm: hay finally dinner. Sabi nga ni janice candidate 17 pa lang tapos na sila kumain ni Thess. And concerned pa naman kami ni joy wondering where they went. while shoveling our dinner (yes my hands were shaking while i was spearing a lettuce leaf from my salad), rico j and marco sison serenaded us (di ako makarelate hahaha). the the winners were announced with matching fireworks display, signaling it's time to go home. finally.


ooh...that's where our taxes go...bulong sa kin ni kuya allan thinking city of manila ang sponsor. yun pala unilever hehehe...

1130 pm: back to homebase. taxi na ko pauwi. di na kaya ng powers ko magbasa ng sign board and pumara ng bus. zzz.

oops my entry got long. but it's a picture book entry anyway so i hope you're still reading up to this part. :)
