Study hard, party harder :D

*Feb. 21, after going out with my college friends for bingo and videoke, I went home, ate dinner and dashed off to celebrate and partey my bud's 21st. :D
At that time, I only have a week left for school (next week would be my last finals), so I am making the most out of it. Labas dito, labas diyan. So after dinner, I took a quick vanity fair, changed into a summer dress and flew to q's. Sorry late. :( Mas late naman sakin si vi eh. hahaha!
After waiting for what seemed like a decade, vi came and we went to pick up brad in casimiro. jie ate dinner in jabi and we finally went to 420. :) Like the first time I was there, the place was full of people, filled with smoke (you would think there's a smoke machine!) and blasting sounds.
I met some new acquiantances and the party was just starting. tita carol was there so we didn't go to bud's place na just to say hi. Bud gave us a bottle of bacardi for the night. Tae! Bat ba ko dun umupo?! Ako tuloy una lagi sa shot. :S I seriously don't like it. Kaso abot sila ng abot. Sabi ko tatlo lang. After three shots, I forgot about what I said and took every shot they gave me. Puro ba naman kasi eh! May sipa talaga yun. Oo sige, may chaser pero hello naman!
Then the dj was going around giving free shots of whatever drink it was to people who where wearing red. Post v-day party daw or something like that. I totally forgot about that! Seriously. I was kidding to vi what if I was wearing something red but it's not usually seen.
Aba! The loca told the dj about it... I had no choice but to show it. Instead of a shot, he left the pitcher to us. haha! Sober rach/lexi wouldn't have done it or could she?? That's what happens when I drink a little over the limit. tsk tsk! But when I thought about it when I was finally sober, people see me in bikini, so steady lang. One shot deal lang yun no! You are a foolio, vi! :)) But I'm fool-er than you! :))
As I was tipsy, I took two sticks or was it three? haaaaay! I made a deal with lj and brad it won't happen again. I seriously have to get rid of that nasty "tipsy habit". We danced the night away. :D Too bad, naj wasn't around. We still have to wild out in the dance floor dear. :D

I didn't notice the time. We left around 3 or 3.30 am. I told my mum I was going home by 2! Past 4am na ata ako nakarating kasi naghatid pa kami kay vi sa timbuktu. Mum asked what time I went home. I seriously don't know. All I know is I went past my time. Alam rin naman niya kasi nabuking ako with the light on. Sabi niya 5 ba daw. Sabi ko naman, hindi po talaga. Before 5 or around that time. :)) Good thing, she didn't get mad or was she tired getting mad at me?
Anyway, I am just making the most out of the remaining college life I have. So to my dear friends, study hard. Konting tiis na lang talaga guys. Party harder! :D Of course, pray hardest. ;) We will get through this with the right mix of determination, diligence, patience and faith. :) 'til then...

Stress-reliever

*Last Saturday, after a week of hell, I went out with gen, margie, darlene and chrisma for our much-awaited gimmick. I needed that 'coz what a week it was!

We went to sm san lazaro, had lunch at kfc and then went to play bingo. It was darlene's idea and we were all game to experience bingo mania. :)) We availed a "package" for three games, each having three cards. So in total, we had nine cards. Then we bought two cards for blackout for fifty bucks.

We were having a good time. During our second game, everyone was excited 'coz we are almost winning with the numbers drawn to our advantage. One of us was soooo close to winning. :D I then peeked at her card... I noticed that her card was color blue while the rest of us was marking the purple ones. hahaha! She marked the wrong card. =)) Na-excite pa kami!

We laughed our ass*s off! =)) Laughtrip kung laughtrip. Bingo wasn't enough so we went to gbox. Sila lang ang may gusto nito. Kaso siyempre join the club. Napasabak ako. Friends, seryoso pasayawin niyo na ko 'wag lang kanta! :))

Hidden talents: darlene and chrisma. :D Singing mommy and singing paddler. San ka pa? :) It was soooo much fun for a really stressful week. Sa uulitin guys! :D 'til then... :)

A glimpse of the real world

Last week was a total hell for me. I was soooo busy going back and forth to eastwood and at the same time juggle my time for school. I went there three times last week, at the same time studying in school and did some comelec work. :D Here's my glimpse of the real world.

Day 1 (Feb. 17, 2009)
I woke up pretty early last tuesday for my IBM exam. I didn't know how to commute to libis so my cousin told me to just drop by her office in crame and from there, her driver will take me to libis. As if the whole world conspired to make my day hell, I left home late, the bus missed the spot where I should get off, I had to play patintero with death in Edsa. The crazy bus driver didn't stop when I said I'd be getting off in heritage. Inakyat nya yung bus sa flyover at binaba ako sa san juan de dios. From there, I walked my way and bravely faced the kiss of death aka getting across Edsa. I thought it was impossible. But 'coz I am a genius, I made it to the other side, unscratched. :D

I took a jeepney to mrt and bumped bodies, literally with others 'coz it was rush hour. I got off in santolan station, took another jeepney to I forgot where. That time, I thought that was the right route. When I finally knew I made a mistake, I got off and called my cousin for directions. Apparently, that was the way to libis but not to her office. She said that I just stay put and she's sending manong to pick me up. I waited and didn't move from where I was standing. I waited five minutes... fifteen minutes. I called my mum to go check on my cousin if she sent the driver off already. She did and was wondering how come he hasn't arrived to rescue me...

So she called manong driver. I was standing in the side street of boni serrano and manong went all the way to mandaluyong --- boni avenue! Oh. My. Gosh! So my mum instructed me to just take a cab from there. Thank God, hindi naman ako niligaw or pinaikot-ikot ni mamang taxi.

I was oh so late for my appointment. I didn't bother to tell the receptionist that I had a scheduled exam. haha! I took the exam. Time-pressured kung time pressured eh. I was spacing out during the exam. I didn't take it seriously 'coz I didn't want to go back for an interview.

'Lo and behold! I still managed to pass the exam. Dalawa lang yun eh... Madali yung exam o engot yung dalawa kong kasabay. When the examiner told me and the other two that we passed, I had this constipated look that spells out what the hell?!

I left and headed to katipunan to meet safi. I miss her. :D Katipunan oh katipunan. My dream. hahaha! After an hour or so of chikahan, I headed home and she had to go back to miriam to go practice for her jazz competition. Congrats dear! :D

Day 2 (Feb. 18, 2009)
I was scheduled for an interview wednesday afternoon last week. I skipped comelec duty 'coz I wanted to look fresh for the interview. But we decided to skip marriage so I got to experience my first automated election. :D

After class, I dashed off to change into my makati look (urgh!) and flew to eastwood once more. I forgot to get my umbrella from margie. Good thing, it didn't rain in the part of the world I was in. haha! I was once again late. This time, ten minutes. What an impression for the interviewer. haaaay! I still had to fill this information sheet up and when time was running out, the interviewer called me in, together with the two other interviewees. It was short and sweet. hahaha! Just kidding. Nothing bloody as he was only asking for personal stuff and how-do-you-deal-with-this kind of questions.

I took a cab back to katipunan station but traffic was building up already. The driver told that we'll take another route via marikina. I just told him to drop me off santolan station so it would be less hassle for him.

From there, I took the train to legarda and took the bus going to lawton. Then finally, fx back home. :D This has been my transportation cycle for two days. I was in the cab when I thought I forgot my I.D in IBM. But I was reassuing myself I might have it somewhere in my bag.

I confirmed that night that I indeed left it there. Oh no! I had to go back for a freakin' I.D! I survived school for two days without my I.D. haha! Diskarte lang yan.

Day 3 ( Feb. 20, 2009)
I went back to eastwood to get my I.D back. Since, I wasn't in a hurry, I decided to be a little bit adventurous and experiment. My tita told me that there's a jeep in cubao going to eastwood. I looked for that and gladly found it.

I then saw this fx: montalban, eastwood. I wanted comfort and so decided to take the fx instead. I knew montalban is in the other side but I was thinking maybe it has a connection to libis somewhere out there. haha! I even asked the lady beside me if it really passes eastwood. She replied: Oo. That made me relaxed and took every sight that was new to me.

An hour or more passed and still no party scene for me but rather rural area and bondoocks on one side. When I reached the end of the trip, it then hit me I took the wrong ride! Oo nga naman, eastwood yun. Yun nga lang eastwood residences. Malay ko namang may iba pa palang eastwood! Malapit na nga ko sa avilon zoo eh. May sign na "this way to avilon zoo"! I took a jeep back to santolan. It cost me 26 bucks. Student's fare pa yun ha! That's how far it was! From there, I took the cab and straight to IBM plaza. I stayed there for two minutes but my travel time was over than three hours! So much for being adventurous!

I seriously wanted to cry the moment my stupidity hit me. But looking back now, I just laugh my head off about it. :)) Stupidity gets you everywhere. That's my misadventures for you. I got to get a glimpse of the real world. Ang hirap pala talaga maghanap ng trabaho. For sure, it would be a lot harder working. So enjoy the time remaining in school. 'til then... :D

No strings attached, no problemo :D

* Pardon me for the lateness of my post. Been busy for the past weeks and I gave myself time to be quiet in the blogging world for a reason. Also, I lost my blogging desire and busy-busyhan for the past couple of days. Anway, here goes...

I spent my V-day with my fabulous single chicas (janelle, we will make bawi-bawi...awww!) and rocked hearts' day. I object to the idea that it's JUST for lovers, couples, sucrose-infested, I'm soooo inlove with you people. It is for EVERYONE. For me, single since birth. ;P

First stop: Lunch date and cake-decorating with she, joicey and ket :D

I went to school late, no thanks to the walk for love in baywalk. bummer! Shortly after, went to san lazaro with dear kolehiyalas. We had lunch in greenwhich and took a shot of tequila! In broad daylight! :))

Then we had a studio pic. Soooo highschool but awesome! :D We went around the mall killing time 'coz the cake-decorating was oh so jampacked! When we had nothing left to do, we waited in front of the artsy-fartsy kiddos and young at heart people for our turn to unleash our creativity.

I superduper enjoyed our V-day date 'coz it was different and also we haven't gone out for the longest time. Conflicting schedules get in the way. Sorry naman, naiba ako ng schedule!

Second stop: Bar-hopping around BF with cilla, naj and trin :D

I went home to an empty house. No people inside and no note left where they were. I killed time by watching the television and did some chores. Our call time was at 8pm. I couldn't leave the house. No one was home. I had to wait for someone first. When it was 8.30pm, I had no choice but to leave and lock all the doors instead.

I was walking my way to the shortcut when I saw pap walking. He was home-bound and went to walk me to the shortcut. I arrived in soca's late for the call time and guess what? My friends are not yet there!

Naj came a few minutes after I did and we went inside soca's to wait for the others. Aba! May entrance fee that night 'coz of V-day. 200 bucks. Steady lang. Minutes passed and naj came to a decision that it wasn't sulit. Kuya "waiter" kept on coming to us to ask for our drinks. We said we were still waiting for friends and just come back later.

We had to sneak out without paying the entrance fee. Hey! We didn't drink anything. Okay, we just went to chill and listen to live music but that was it. Not worth 200 bucks right?

Just in time was my good buddy, cilla. :D So we literally hopped in her car and dashed off to tides before the waiters realized we ran off! :))

We went to tides and the mean bouncers didn't ask for my I.D. yey! They're not mean after all. hihi! Trin came and we started to drink the night away. :D Nonstop kwentuhan and a couple rounds of I've never made this night sooooo awesome! Inom lang ng inom bud. nyahaha!

After two pitchers of red tide, we left and went to 420, bud's chill spot. Party scene vibe in the south. :D Naj, we will be back to wild out. haha! The bachelor was a certified hottie! :X Mga loco kayo, balak nyo pa ko isali ha. tsk tsk!

We went home 1am. Pretty early for a weekend huh? Oh well, all chicas eh. But it was all good. :D Thanks for the lift trin.

I enjoyed my V-day. I had lots of dates. Like what I always say to friends: enjoy, explore and have fun! :D 'til then... ;P
