Entry created July 16, 2006:

And yes..finally! Paul and I went out on a Sabado night gimik. Yesterday was the birthday of his HS bestfriend, Jordan and we were connived by his girlfriend, Odessa to hold a suprise party for him. It wasn't really a big bash as the simple feasting just took place in his house with us, his HS barkada plus girlfriends/partners pigged out with pizza, lasagna, carbonara, chicken, sans rival and chocolate cake. The kada was complete: Genil and Leia, JR and Nicee, Paul and me and of course the celebrant, Jordan and his gf, Ode. Clueless as he was, Jordan's eyes widened as soon as he stepped inside the house and was shocked of our presence. At siyempre pa, the usual chikahan and asaran just like the good old days. All 7 of us except JR's gf were HS classmates at USTHS and it's kinda interesting to know that aside from Paul & me na nagkatuluyan na, going strong din sina Genil & Leia and Jordan & Ode. Galing noh? kaya nga solid itong barkadang ito eh. We practically know each other that much kasi nga magkakakilala na kami noong mga totoy at nene pa kami way back HS years. May mga side stories and other twists pa sa mga love stories namin pero I'll just repost an entry on Wednesday about that in time for our anniv. Hanapin ko pa sa archives hehe!

So there, after stuffing our tummies with much food, nagkayayaan na manood ng sine. And yes! congatulate me people! Didn't I just make an entry a few weeks ago complaining (and making parinig to Paul) that I haven't been to a moviehouse in ages? We watched a last full show screening of the Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest at Gateway. Don't expect me to create a review on it kasi there are still some parts na di ko ma-gets since I wasn't able to watch Part 1. Obviously, sequel nga siya at may kasunod pa. Effects and acting wise, ang ganda. Johnny Depp entertained me at sobrang katawa talaga mga comedy stunts niya as the Captain Jack Sparrow. It got me bored a bit though and nainis sa mga supernatural sea monsters with giant tentacles na mga kontrabida. Ewan ko ba basta kainis ang itsura eh. Haha! Si Papa Orlando Bloom naman, hay, ayaw ko hair at bigote niya dito though gwapo pa rin naman siya..I like his looks better nga lang sa Lord of the Rings.

We went home in the wee hours of the morning na..hehe! gimik mode talaga noh? We were at home mga 2 am na yata and slept din agad which luckily I did kahit na may onting effects pa ng caffeine kasi nag-Starbucks pa kami prior watching the movie. Oh well, sleepyhead talaga ako. Besides, we need to wake up early in the morning for my OB check-up. Not much irregularities found naman and I was just given a cleansing medicine to work on my system next month.

After the check up, we headed straight to SM to buy footwears namin ni Paul. He bought a new black shoes kasi bumigay yung old one dahil sa ulan..wawa naman! As for me naman, bumili ng tsinelas for our getaway on Thursday hehe! Wish ko lang talaga walang dumating na bagyo on Thursday 'til this weekend para ma-enjoy naman namin ang Php 10 fare promo ng Cebu Pacific. San kami pupunta? Hmmm...we'll be hitting the Bora sands and waves ulit hehe! Second honeymoon? oo hehe! Pero unlike the first last December, we'll be going with our kada Genil, Leia and JR...and this time, with a super tipid mode. Off-peak season ngayon kaya we'll really hunt for a good place to stay that offers a huge huge huge discount. I know we will find one. :)

Hmmm...tamad mode ako ngayon magblog..sorry...pansin niyo? Just want to share how my weekend was. hehe!

5 days to go...

yehey! wanna join me????

Top 10 Songs that Moves Me

Maulan. Mabagyo. Nakakatamad. Walang magawa. "No classes". Estudyanteng nagdiriwang. Buhay ang blogosphere ngayon.

*********************************************************

Countdown: 1 week to go..woohoo!

*********************************************************

Got this from Kay and it made me want to try it myself.

What are the top 10 songs that moves me? Here it goes..

1. You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban (watch the wedding ceremony photo montage here with this song as the background)

Fave lines: You raise me up so I can climb on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be..."

Undoubtedly, this song has made one big impact in my life. This was my bridal song when I walked down the aisle. The moment then was so surreal. Many shed tears because of the thrilling atmosphere. My dad was bawling and my handsome man patiently waiting for me on the other end of the aisle and the Lord waiting for us on a farther end. The lyrics says it all..the message of the song goes to the men of my life...my man, my dad and my Lord.

2. Love Moves in Mysterious Ways by Nina (like her revival version more than Julia Fordham's)

Fave lines: "Love moves in mysterious ways. It’s always so surprising when love appears over the horizon I’ll love you for the rest of my days. But still it’s a mystery of how you ever came to me which only proves love moves in mysterious ways..."

My personal theme song during my wedding preparations. Di pa rin makapaniwala that Paul and I are destined after all those years. :D

3. This I Promise You by N'Sync

Fave line: "And I will take you in my arms. And hold you right where you belong. Till the day my life is throughthis I promise you..."

Our theme song way back MU stage and bf-gf early months. Wahaha! Our Couple's First Dance song on our wedding reception.

4. The Warrior Is A Child by Gary V.

Fave lines: "Lately I've been winning battles left and right. But even winners can get wounded in the fight People say that I'm amazing Strong beyond my years But they don't see inside of me I'm hiding all the tears..."

Hearing me this makes me want to cry..lalo na pag naririnig ko siya sa funeral. Oh well, i guess theme song natin kasi ito as human beings as we journey through our lives.

5. Change the World by Eric Clapton

Fave lines: "That I can change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe..."

Actually, I just love the melody of the song..one of my all-time favorites. Pwede ring theme song of lovers ito.

6. Lead Me Lord by Gary V.

Fave lines: "All the time my Lord I need you there you are my light I cannot live alone Let me stay by your guiding love..."

I sing this song (which also serves as a prayer) whenever I'm so downhearted with life's challenges and seemingly about to give up. With this song I also reminisce our retreat days way back student years.

7. Now and Forever by Air Supply

Fave lines: "Now and forever remember the words from my heart will always be true. Now and forever together and all that I feel is my love for you..."

My favorite song way back toddler years. According to my folks, I used to sing this song over a hundred of times along with the jukebox of our neighbor(hinuhulugan ng barya). Geez...I'm so old na. When they bought an Air Supply minus one..eto ang resulta:

Disclaimer: Walang kinalaman ang bagyo sa larawang ito, ok?

8. Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder

Fave lines: "There's something 'bout your love that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet.."

Just another soul and refresher song. Sarap kasing pakinggan.

9. Forever in Love Instrumentals by Kenny G

Another stress reliever song...minsan pampaantok ko hehehe!

10. More Today Than Yesterday by Spiral Starecase (Ayala Corp commercial jingle)

Fave lines: "Oh, I love you more today than yesterday But not as much as tomorrow I love you more today than yesterday But, darling, not as much as tomorrow..."

Hmmm...another song that can immortalize my love for hubby naks!

***********************************************

So there goes my random fave songs I have in mind right now. Here's my radio blog link where some of the abovementioned songs can be played. Which reminds me, I tried uploading that radio blog on my sidebar but I just couldn't configure correctly kainis!

Btw, don't bother passing a mic on me, ok?...you don't want the storms go ballistic all at the same time, do you? Sayaw na lang pwede pa. :D

Who in the World is Elvis?

Well, I will be out the whole day today and as I have a promise to update this nook of mine every other day, I will be leaving you with this entry. Sensible? di ko lam pero it's pretty hilarious. I found this on Meng's site and I couldn't help chuckling over her results. This stirred my curiosity and I laughed harder when I saw my own test results. How in the world do they randomly produce these answers anyway?

Your Boobies' Names Are...

So siya pala si Elvis???? :lolz:

Go USTe!

The 69th season of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) kicked off yesterday at the Araneta Coliseum with the University of the East strutting their stuffs in the Opening Ceremonies as they are the host of this season.

Being a Thomasian for eight years (HS & colllege), I've been one of those excited students who would eagerly watch and root for the UST Tigers. Siyempre proud! Kahit na di impressive ang records nila these past seasons, still I find myself loudly cheering for them everytime may game sila. Minsan nga Paul and I would even watch them live sa venue. Well ganun talaga...I just love everything about my alma mater. All the way ang support kahit graduate na. I remember sarap pag nagcha-champion dahil walang pasok buong university hihi! I miss those glorious days of the Tigers way back early 90's when they bagged four consecutive basketball championships. Gone are the likes of Dennis Espino, Edmund Reyes, Bal David, Estong Ballesteros, Chot Tangquincen, Richard Yee, Henry Ong, Gerard Francisco, etc. I remember they even had a victory parade around the campus and I was able to have the 3-pointer Henry Ong sign my araneta coliseum ticket. I was in second year HS then nung nanood ako ng championship game against La Salle at kahit bleachers pa, pinagtiyagaan ko. That was the time din when there were exchanges of foul banner captions from both schools. One La Sallian banner says.."tuition niyo baon ko lang". Oh well, keber! Siyempre di maiiwasan minsan na maging over excited mga fans at pati such remarks nagagawa. Anyway, champions kami noon kaya sorry sila. :) (Ngapala, we won't be seeing action from the La Salle Green Archers this season as they are suspended for allegedly faking the eligibilities of 2 players the other season).

The Tigers may be in the lower bracket of the last season's team standing, UST still came out as the Overall Champion of the 68th season last year. And take note, UST holds the record for having the most number of Overall Championship trophies (33)..iba dun naka-display sa gym entrance hehe!

The tigers played their first game of the season this afternoon and it was a heartbreaking 2-pt deficit loss against the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons (92-94). At siyempre pa, the Iskolars ng Bayan are rejoicing over their victory.

While the Tigers did make good plays on offense as they got 2 really good offensive rookies, pumalpak sila sa defense and they allowed several 3-point shots from 2 same Maroon players. Hay! It really was a tight ball game though I could say na maswerte lang sa 3-points ang mga Maroons. Oh well, today might be their day..I'm sure the Tigers will come back with a vengeance as they face-off on the second round. As Paul would say, di araw-araw ay pasko. Hehe!

The UAAP season kicking off means the UAAP cheering squads preparing their stuffs for the upcoming 2006 Cheerdance Competition. With the duel of the Maroons and Tigers this afternoon, buhay na naman ang cheering mania especially to the two rival squads UST and UP in the Nestle Cheerdance Competition being held every after first season of the UAAP. Kanya-kanyang pasiklaban na naman kanina at halftime which made me reminisce of the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe's winning perfomance last year..watch it here and comment about it:

Astig noh? Hanep ang choreography and mga cartwheels, pyramids, flying stunts and everything di ba? The whole package is fantabulous and indeed a champion material, isn't it? Siyempre naman, tulad sa general UAAP championships, the Salinggawi Dance Troupe holds the most number of 1st placer trophies. They are the current defending champion and holds 7 out of 11 titles since it started in 1995. UP is the closest rival with 3 championship trophies in tow. Click here for the complete tally.

Here is the Tigers' game schedule for the season:

Can't wait for the Tigers' next games and for the Cheerdance Competition...go uste!
