grabe ang pressure, di ko na ma-take!
lahat ng tao hinahanapan ako ng boyfriend!
e 1 month pa lang ako dito no!
say, mag-drama ba?
chuks!

ang happy naman! dami mong binili parang ang yaman mo naman! chuks. tapos pa-ikot ikot ka pa ng sanfo...sarap...isa na lang ang kulang...ang magkwento ka about isang guy na sobrang type mo at type ka at may nangyari sa inyo. chuks! movie marathon kami last friday...at cherryl's house...her parents kasi were both in masbate so there...ali, alex, ruby and her boyfriend, ian (broken hearted guy na officemate ni cherryl), and shiela were present...we watched y tu mama tambien, gone with the wind and toro...so far yun ang naabutan ko....galo was there for a while pero he left nang nakita niang puro girls kami...sia sia may class pa ko...later ulit...:)

hey belinda!
may palaisipan question of the week ako:
bakit parang tayong 2 lang ang nag-uusap dito?
chuks!

na-saykolow naman ako sa news mo about sophie.
sana naman e wag syang maging cause ng anumang hiwalayan.
i mean, fun naman maging kabit, pero wag lang excessive.
anyways, kebs na sa mga sad news,
let's talk about na lang my shopping sprees last weekend.
chuks!

nagpunta uli kami ng sanfo last saturday.
ni-tour namin yung pinsan ni ivan (officemate) from LA.
pumasok kami sa aquarium of the bay,
para syang zoo ng mga marine animals.
happy kasi may super giant aquarium,
papasok ka sa tunnel tapos nag-swim around sila.
may pating, sting rays, star fish, giant isda, etc.

after non, nag-lunch kami sa seafood market,
i ate shrimp combo with chips, turo-turo ka lang.
sa sidewalk lang namin binili tapos hanap kami
ng resto na pwede naming kainan.
actually, bawal yun pero kebs.
chuks!

tapos nag-avail kami ng sanfo tour worth $26.
pero pinoy yung nagbebenta ng ticket so hayun,
nag-under the table transaction kami, $20 na lang.
akala namin discounted dahil pinoy kami,
yun pala fake tickets yung binigay nya sa amin.
accomplice nya yung tourist guide.

sakay kami ng tram for 2 1/2 hours, and happy yung tour!
napuntahan namin mga major attractions,
plus with explanation chuchu pa.
alam ko na ang difference ng italian sa victorian,
meaning ng yerba buena (good earth),
magkano house ni danielle steele sa pacific heights,
at kung gaano kalamig sa pacific ocean.

after the tour, sumakay kami ng cable car
from embarcadero to powell street.
sumabit kami like yung sa mga postcards,
fun naman although super duper lamig that time!
ayun, naparampa tuloy ako sa union square,
shopping mecca ng san francisco, to buy a coat.

*giggle*

tapos nagpunta kami sa yerba buena for dinner.
super daming tao dahil 6th game ng world series.
may giant screen tapos yung mga tao e nanonood don.
too bad, natalo ang giants, may riot sana if ever.
chuks!

the following day, nagpunta naman kami sa gilroy.
more than 1 hour away from walnut creek,
outlet shopping chuchu sya, super mura.
hayun, naubos ang pera ko don!

nakabili ako ng new jacket and towel from polo,
perry ellis perfumes (9 bottles) and belt, levis jacket,
bass wool blanket, adidas shoes, fossil watch,
geoffrey beene sweater and shirts, and clinique gift sets.

yung mga salesman sa mga shops, super keri.
lalo na pag mga designer labels, mukhang mowdel lahat!
most of them super bebenta sa pinas pag ni-import natin.
gaganahan ka talaga mag-shopping kahit everyday.
chuks!

kaya hayun napagastos ako ng more than $400 in one day.
di pa kasama yung ni-shop ko before that day,
yung banana rep wool jacket and sweaters for $200+.
lecheng mga salesman, ang ku-cute.
chuks!

kahit eto at super poor ko na uli at walang pangkain,
super happy pa rin mag-shopping dun.
i don't think magagawa ko yan sa pinas,
mag-shopping spree ng close to 40,000 pesoses in 2 days.
bibili na sana ako ng mga pasalubong sa inyo
pero kaming 2 lang ni belinda ang alive dito so kebs na.
chuks!

Ü

hay naku...ewan ko sa gurl na iyan...i think naiinis ako sa kanya na...she's exactly the kind of gurl i refuse to turn out to be...if she's hurting, it's because of herself...i've always believed that you can always choose not to be hurt ...but then she seems to let herself wallow in pain...alam ko, hindi yan mangyayari sa akin...i'd rather stay single than settle for someone who's not fully into me...nuf na bout her...shiela's here already...she bought us pasalubong (yup, including you)...pero haven't seen her yet...we'll meet pa on friday...there's another kwento pala on cherryl...she and francis talked for 4 hours last night on the phone...talk ended around 230 am...the guy kasi wants help from her...it's sophie...confirmed na that she's into some kind of a relationship with that married mark guy...she's so blinded she doesnt know what she's doing...she climbs great heights just to please the guy...i'll just withhold the details pero let's just say it's about financial matters...say! obvious ba...regarding ur own finances...mag save ka kaya...wala kang mauutangan jan if ever...sige ka...sia sia...yun na..i still have class

i chatted with her again last night tapos same old story.
there was this part sa chat namin i asked her
if she believes in soulmates and finding that one true love.
hindi sya sumagot for some time,
tapos later on sabi nya, yes.
i saw it as a sign na di nya talaga nakikita
etong guy as her soulmate or true love,
and deep inside, there's someone better for her.
so i don't agree na she knows what she wants.
she wants to continue the relationship,
but does she really want a relationship with this guy?

she's still hurting, pero she keeps on meeting him.
then she'd ask me na iumpog ko na sya sa pader
nang matauhan na daw sya.
by doing this, is she really facing her problem head on?
more like evading the truth, and ignoring all the danger signs.

anyways, ang seryoso ng mga sagot ko diba?
kasi medyo bad days na, 2 days in a row.
i got home at around 3 am dahil sa overtime
tapos nag-check out na kami sa hotel.
sa apartment na kami titira.
so maaga pa lang dapat gising na kami.
tapos nakuha ko na yung payroll check ko kanina.
more than a week late, super poor ko na dito.
i had to pick it up somewhere tapos pa-encash.
since i don't have a bank account, had to open one.
so dinala ko passport and social security ko dito.
tapos ayaw tanggapin ang social security ko,
invalid number daw sabi ng computer.
so we went to the local social security office,
tapos pina-verify, and ok naman.
they had to print this letter saying something
na my number's valid achuchuchuchu.
tapos had to go back to the bank para ayusin,
tapos buti na lang at na-approve.
pero yung check, baka next week pa
pumasok sa account ko kasi may processing chuchu.
ayun, past 4 pm na ako nakabalik sa office!

hindi ko talaga bet ang past 2 days na to,
wish ko lang mag-weekend na nang makarampa na.
teka, wala pa rin pala akong pera!
huhuhuhuhuhu!

hmmm yeah i think what she did would constitute stupidity...but i would like to see it in another light...i mean she deserves kudos since she knows what she wants and that's the guy...some people arent blesssed enough to know what they want tas they end up confusing those around them (sino kaya cherryl?)... some may brand her as desperate but i think she's brave and maybe even romantic...chuks! if ako yun, im sure i would hesitate...id be fearful...pero siya, she faced her problem head on...kaya natutuwa ako sa kanya...baka deep inside she knows that the guy still wants her...na he's just in a confused state...tas she's just in essence helping him see the light...ewan...ay, i saw pala some parts of sweet home alabama...i liked it when reese said: the truth is...i gave my heart away a long time ago...and i never really got it back...sniff! sniff!

may saykolow story pala ako.
may friend ako na kinaliwa ng bf nya.
2 months ago, sabi ng guy, cool-off muna.
tapos a week later, nalaman nya na may iba na.
yun pala, medyo matagal na sila ng isang girl.
syempre, na-shock ang bruha, drama to the max.

nang makausap ko uli sya lately,
sabi nya, gagawin nya lahat mabawi lang yung ex nya.
willing daw syang maging kabit, kahit sya yung #2.
niyaya nya mag-dyug-dyugan yung guy uli,
and sana raw mabuntis sya.
gusto kong ihagis sa kanya ang flat screen monitor ko,
at ang compaq xp professional pc ko.
chuks!

sabi ko sa kanya, it takes time to forget something like that.
minsan masarap maging tanga sa buhay,
but not to the point na i-compromise ang future nya.
kung mabuntis sya, habambuhay na sya nakadikit sa guy.

kanina, nag-chat uli kami.
sabi nya kasama daw nya uli yung guy kagabi.
at sabi nya, malapit na daw nyang mabawi.
syempre, sabi ko sa kanya, "ha?!?!?!?!?!".
lumabas ang pagiging articulate ko diba?
chuks!

ewan ko, pero napapaisip ako, at kayo lang makakagot,
marami bang babaeng TANGA?
chuks!

Ü

on the way pala to sanfo, i brought my book,
the perks of being a wallpaper.
maganda sya, natapos ko at least half sa sanfo.
tapos tinapos ko kagabi dahil di ko mabitiwan.
may part na na-affect ako,
"we accept the love we think we deserve..."
whatchatink?

hello everyone!

super sakit ng legs and paa ko today, super weekend rampa!
we went to six flags last saturday, we got there arnd 12 pm.
medyo mahal ang ticket $45 pero we got a 50% discount.
happy yung place, medyo extreme rides, daming tao.
nabe-vertigo pa rin ako everytime i remember the rides,
pero worth it naman kahit papaano, kahit haba ng pila.

naka-5 rides lang ako, tapos 3 shows.
may mga shows kasi sila na free, like hypnotist, dolphin, etc.
madaming cutie, pero usually may kasama so kebs.
tapos puro kids din ang nandun, more than half siguro.
noong gabi may fright fest, fun sya, as in takutan mga tao.
as in smoky yung place, tapos daming nanakot na naka-costume.
parang super fun ng halloween dito.

tapos yday, nagpunta ako mag-isa sa sanfo.
tinignan ko lang yung city hall and public library.
hitech ang lib nila, super nice.
tapos may phil-american area, na puro pinoy books.
may art gallery tapos may exhibits.
sa may harap ng city hall, may concert.
puro hippies ang nandun, as in long hair, smelly.
pero ok lang, mukha namang enjoy sila.

nag-upload uli ako sa online album ko ng pics.
may 2 new folders, yung six flags and civic center.
super puno na ng album ko sa dami ng pics.
anyways, pagsawaan nyo yun.
chuks!

btw, happy pala ako kay shiela at napa-hongkong sya.
buti naman at hindi ang mataray nyang ate ang napili.
wish ko lang, sana galingan ni shiela ang pr nang
sya na lang palagi ang isama ng nanay nya.
pwede nyang hiramin ang title ko na next sensation,
pero ako kasi sa states, kanya na ang hongkong!
bagay sa kanya, in the tradition of ate vi in anak.
chuks!

anubayan si lani, nagpapa-affect sa mga news.
i mean, yan ang gusto ng mga terorista,
yung baguhin mo yung plans mo dahil sa kanila.
although nakakatakot nga naman,
pero i don't think dapat ma-immobilize ka bcos of that.
anyways, what's new ba.
chuks!

super happy ng movie na yan, nanood ako last fri.
pero syempre iba na, yung punch drunk love.
saykolow movie starring adam sandler.
nanalo ng best director award sa cannes filmfest.
panoorin nyo rin to if you like saykolow movies.

Ü

hey marlon! good news ...shiela's in hongkong right now...she'll be there for three days with her mom..sheila's claiming your title...that she's the next sensation na...panalo coz that means more pasalubong for me and cherryl! chucks! take note, no pasalubong for lani...walang budget daw for her sabi ni sheila coz d siya pumunta sa house namin on saturday for a movie marathon kasi may BOMB THREATS!! say. btw, napanood na namin ang my big fat greek wedding...i bought a pirated VCD...nakakatawa siya...i like the father and the lola...gusto ko ang sinabi ng tatay na something like: we may be different since we're apples and oranges but in the end we're all fruits...

btw, naka-receive ako ng email from ali.
buti na lang at nag-check ako ng junk mail folder,
kung hindi na-delete na siguro yun.
yung hotmail kasi pwede mo i-activate yung sa junk mails,
na tipong di mo kilala yung sender, ilalagay nya dun.
first time ko lang nalaman ang surname ni ali!
anyways, alam ba nya tong site na to?
feeling ko hindi, dahil puro francis ang mababasa nya!
chuks!

hay naku, first blog ni lani at puro pasalubong na naman!
reality check my dear, di pinupulot ang pera dito no!
chuks!

belinda, di ko alam kung evil ba ako o ewan,
pero biglang gumanda ang araw ko when i read that.
hindi naman sa gusto ko sila maghiwalay pero
i think mike's too young to be tied down to anyone,
i mean, he's only 22 tapos live-in na with the gf.
tapos when you mentioned na kahit sina sonny,
e hindi nya nae-email since nag-break sila ng gf,
natuwa ako kasi di rin sya sagot sa mail ko.
anyways, bahala na sya sa buhay nya,
basta kung sasagot sya, sasagot sya.
say!

btw, bat di mo na naman ni-meet si sonny?
alam mo, it's about time na siguro para
malaman mo kung ano ba talaga.
cute at first na parang may mystery,
pero don't you get tired of it?
if you wanna see him, then meet him.
over coffee, beer, or iced tea sa congo grill.
parang you're the next lani ha.
chuks!

hey lani! welcome to the world of blogging!!! heehehehehe...marlon...i have a kwento ...sani called me up this morning (surprise! surprise!)...i dunno if he was being honest but he told me that he was away for the past few weeks coz he was in japan...kebs...anyways...ayaw ko tuloy pumunta na ng sidebar later coz i know nandun talaga sia! wala nang thrill of uncertainty... hhaahahah...ang arte...at eto pa...mike doesn't email him anymore...the last time he heard from him, he split up with his girlfriend...ergo, they don't live together anymore....so there. hmmmmmm

hello everybody!!
nakakaaliw naman tong blog site na to!!wala ako masyado makwento eh, just wanna let you know na marunong nko punta sa site nto!!hehe!!
marlon kun punta ka new york don't forget to look for the cd na cnabi ko syo ha, sori kun gastos uli to..:) yaan mo pag nukakita ka talaga nun kahit na byaran na lng kita pg dating mo dito...ang pasalubong mo na naman skin eh yun g jacket eh, hehe!..kse hard to find tlaga un mga cd na yun eh...:-)
sige un lang muna, next tym na lng pag me chika na ako ;-)

hey belinda!

334 pm na dito, and gusto ko na uli umuwi!
not because walang keri (actually meron, cutie!),
pero wala kasi ginagawa usually ngayon.
nagiging busy lang ako pag may requests,
tapos pag wala, tunganga ever lang.

what i usually do, i read newspapers, mga egroups ko,
mga internet reviews, and i write future travel plans.
libre kasi karamihan ng newspaper dito,
makukuha mo lang sya kung san-san.
actually, hindi dapat ako nagbabasa ng newspapers dito,
kung anu-anong napi-pickup kong pagkakagastusan!

i read an article about adrian tomine, cartoonist.
ayan, napabili tuloy ako ng books nya thru amazon.
tapos i read din the review of la boheme by baz luhrmann.
ayan, baka mapanood ako sa nov 2 ng opera sa sanfo!
may nakuha akong catalog ng sears kanina,
tinapon ko na agad baka mapa-shop ako bigla!
no chuks!

for now, parang gusto ko lang mag-travel, turista mentality.
gusto ko muna i-absorb the whole travel experience.
hindi ako napupunta sa places na pwedeng maka-meet,
puro wholesome places lang so far.
sana howie and my friend in NY can do something about this.
pero ok lang din naman sa akin kung wala.
atsaka actually, wala naman nag-o-offer, so wala talaga.
chuks!

about naman your friend na nagba-brag ng sexcapades nya,
well depende naman kasi yun, baka 1st time nya.
syempre pag 1st, you want the whole world to know,
siguro to validate your experience.
pero once mag-mellow down, he'll realize the need for subtlety.
o baka naman sobrang close mo na yang guy,
and he's insinuating something, between you and him.
o ticket to the gates of heaven mo na yan!
chuks!

good luck sa pag-meet mo kay sonny tom!
wish ko e mabighani sya ng iyong alindog at halina!
itago mo si shiela, baka magtaray-taray yan sa harap nila.
chuks!

Ü

ps. hindi ko alam meaning ng yerba, basta name ng park.
kaya maganda ang mga pics e dahil nandun ako.
chuks!

hoy marlon...ang ganda ng pics mo... pakita ko ito kina shiela tomorrow...uy walang win na officemate mo no? sus kaya ka pala sad e ..nagmamadaling umuwi....pero that guy with the dog is cute ha...nakipagkilala ka don? ay...what does yerba (as in yerba buena) mean?

darn...someone's been rubbing on my face the fact that he's gotten laid over and ovr again this past week...what the hell is so amusing about that? i bet that isn't true (surveys say that guys usually exaggerate about stuffs like this) or if he did do it it's with some cheap, dirty, over-sexed faceless slut...what is wrong with guys nowadays? why do they have to blabber about things like that? as if that's something to be proud of...haynaku...mga kabataan ngayon talaga!

ey marlon...kamusta naman yung friend mo...is he gonna help you get hooked with some yummy guy? kahit pampalipas oras lang para may ka-PDA ka na jan? ang saya naman nun noh...anyways basta goodluck na lang jan ha. alam ko namang maraming gays jan so no problemo. tomorrow pala (friday) we'll be eating out at congo...we've invited marj, sana tuloy sia tomorrow. afterwards of course we'l go to sidebar...to put an end to my curiosity...tignan ko kng gano kachaka si sani...or maybe otherwise...:0 ang arte... hahahaha...

alam nyo super kaka ng red squirrel na to ha!
nag-down yday tapos di na-post yung sinulat ko.
buti na lang at na-save ko kahit papano,
kaya hayan at may nababasa kayo.
chuks!

btw, punta na rin pala ako ng new york sa thanksgiving.
meet ko yung isang baklush friend ko don,
sana naman happy trip!
can't wait to go around new york!
super sad nga lang kasi yung other friend ko dun,
dito naman sya sa west coast spend ng thanksgiving.
nakalimutan ko, ayan nagkasalisi kami!
huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!

hala ka belinda, maiiyak na naman si cherryl pag nabasa yan!
i'm sure umiiyak sya ngayon, diba cherryl?
chuks!

pero i see it kasi the other way naman.
para kasing si cherryl ang may kasalanan sa analogy na yan.
hindi kaya si francis ang hindi fit for cherryl?

anyways, gusto ko lang sabihin na super antok me!
as in gusto ko nang matulog, as in now na!
kaya lang 441 pm pa lang, and 6 pm pa kami uuwi.
merong free coffee, tea, chocolate dito pero
kakainom ko lang ng orange tea.
sabi ng team leader ko, amoy indian daw!
meron ding colombian coffee and hazelnut.
take note, free lang lahat yan dito!
pero i don't drink coffee so lost me.

btw, i changed my flight from nov 1 to nov 8.
may implementation pala kami ng nov 3.
super sad, na-delay na naman meeting namin ni howie.
anyways, sana lang matuloy na that date!

*wish, wish*

marlon...ang saya saya naman...tuloy mo yan ha...when i was reading ur blog parang i was watching a travel channel chuks! anyways about cherryl i told her na yung story nila ni francis is like trying on a dress. you see a really nice dress sa isang store. then you go: i really like that dress and you stare at it for a long time. tapos you try it on. unfortunately, the dress doesn't fit...siguro si francis was looking around for someone better kaya nilandi si cherryl...pero hindi nafit si cherryl chuks! naiyak si cherryl when i told her this..hahah

belinda, i can't really say din kung ok ang internet.
i mean, i haven't tried it and di ako maka-relate sa chat.
parang online shopping yan, it would be better
if you could try on the clothes before buying diba?
baka mamaya iba pala masikip or maluwag sa yo.
pero it works for different people naman so can't say.
medyo traditional ako when it comes to these things.
i'd like to touch them, feel them...
chuks!

wala na ba talagang balita with sonny?
as in super kebs na kayo sa isa't isa?
si mike naman di pa sumasagot dun sa email ko.
actually, i just said na nandito na ako sa california.
he's more than 6 hours away from here,
so i'm not that keen on seeing him.
nasa north ako, nasa south sya.
naalala ko tuloy yung one of my fave poems,
yung the lovers, "you are venus, and i am mars,
sentenced to a different heaven, a different sky,
cowered by strengths greater than ours,
we can never collude to collide...".
say, kabisado ba talaga!
chuks!

Ü

cherryl, buti naman at medyo natatauhan ka na!
honestly, it's really a lost cause.
you've come to a point na you can't enjoy it anymore.
parang naabot mo na yung threshold of fun,
and you want to know if you could go beyond it.
yung a different level of fun naman.
anyways, landiin mo na lang muna yang seaman na yan.
sabihin mo gusto mo ng swedish goodies!
chuks!

yung kay rochelle, nasa-saykolow ako sa setup nila.
feeling ko, gusto lang ng fallback ng guy pagbalik dito.
i mean, kung magkaroon man sya ng flings don,
how would rochelle know diba?
parang enjoying the best of both worlds ang drama nya.
kawawa si rochelle kasi di na sya maghahanap ng iba,
kasi nga alam nya e sila naman.
i can't really say, pero that's how i feel about it.

anyways, maghanap ka na ng new work!
daming opening akong nakikita sa internet.
better na makahanap ka ng kapalit bago pa magsara.
mahirap kumita ng pera ngayon, kaya hanap na!

Ü

good morning everyowl!

finally at medyo nakaka-recover na ako
from our weekend getaway chuva chuchu.
we went kasi to yosemite (pronounced as spelled),
tapos super duper major kapaguran fatale!
it's a national park, 3.5 hours away from walnut creek.
super nice ng place, puro bundok, puno, at falls!
alam nyo yung mga movies na nagka-camp sa bundok?
ganun yung place and feeling ko cast ako ng movie.
i was just waiting for someone to shout cut!
chuks!

there were lots of sequioas, yung oldest trees.
as in giant trees sila na medyo reddish.
one of the trees was even 3,500 years old!
nababasa ko lang sila sa books before and never,
as in never expected to see them up close.
it was like seeing 3,500 years of history before me.
say!

nag-stop kami sa may glacier point,
supposedly we could see 2 falls from there kaya lang,
dry na sila around this time, so wiz.
may nakita kami na isang falls, nag-hike kami.
it was really nice, really comforting,
nawawala yung pagod mo pag nakita mo.

then yday, we picked up my ex-teammate at the airport.
bigla kong na-miss ang narita and sanfo airports!
then we went to embarcadero/fisherman's wharf again,
tapos instant tour namin sya.
columbus day ngayon and kahapon yung parade.
kakaiba ang parades dito, they give free candies,
sourdough bread, and shirts!
very orderly sila, walang siksikan or tulakan
like nangyari sa flower festival sa baguio.

tapos may blue angels air show, super galing!
pero super ingay din ng mga fighter jets.
as usual, keri galore everywhere!
i think i'm falling in-love with san francisco.
chuks!

teaching is an honorable profession, you should
be proud you're a teacher.
say, super plastic, di ko makayanan! chuks!
dito sa california, i heard na they need 14,000
new teachers by 2007.
di ko lang alam kung ano requirements nila.

nakausap ko na si suzanne, she called my # in the
office.
tapos i gave her my hotel room and phone # rin.
she's a preschool teacher tapos natutulog daw
yung kids noong tumawag sya.
hopefully, i'll get to see her in LA.
i wanna see mickey mouse in disney!
chuks!

Sige,
Lani

good morning everyone!

it's 937 am here in walnut creek pero super internet lang ako.
i checked my safeway email and i have no pending requests,
so heto pa-try ng blog ni belinda vakler.
anyways, blog reminds me of shiela.
blog sounds cheap, not to mention, kulay orange pa!
chuks!

hindi ko na alam what to advise cherryl kasi
parang talagang na-in love yata sya nang todo.
i can't really say what attracted her the most,
but definitely, good looks is out of the question.
lope = 10 million francis.
chuks!

mahirap talaga lumayo sa taong nagpapasaya sa yo,
lalo na kung sa kanya na umiikot ang mundo mo (chuks!).
btw, na-OC lang ako, it's not "I'll distant myself to him",
should be "I'll distance myself from him".
chuks!

ok lang naman na i-enjoy yung situation,
but syempre, learn when to stop.
naisip ko dun sa fact na nagsasabi si francis na
may girl syang gusto sa office, papakasal sa gf next year,
hindi kaya it's his way of defining his friendship with cherryl?

anyways, tama na ang sad story, let's to move to a sadder story,
let's talk about lani and allan.
chuks!

wala akong maaalalang cutie sa ateneo basketball team,
except for la mumar, na artista na ngayon.
cutie naman si allan noong highschool kami.
sa pagkakaalam ko, madami nagkagusto sa kanya noon.
he's shorter than me, pero taller than lani.
he's really nice and sweet, plus licensed engineer.
chuks!

diba explosive combination, engineer and teacher?
super smart ng mga magiging kids nila,
given na makapag-first date muna sila,
or at least magkita at mag-usap beyond phone!
chuks!

blog, este shiela, i'm happy for you at mabenta ka.
pero inday, don't waste the opportunities!
kung type mo rin si chicoy edi show him that you like him.
wag ka na mag-inarte, lamang-tyan din si chicoy.
kebs na kung chaka o security guard,
matatanggap naman namin sya eventually,
pag napagod na kami sa kakatawa.
chuks!

belinda, i thought di mo masyadong bet si sonny?
hayaan mo na yun, he's too weird for you.
hahanapan kita ng mexican dito, dami cutie, promise.
minsan talaga gusto ko na lang sila iuwi.
chuks!

at ano tong the one who got away?
eto ba yung nakipaghalikan ka sa kanya?
chuks!

Ü marlon
the next pinoy sensation in the states

PS. watch my big fat greek wedding, nice movie!
PPS. hanggat di nakikipag-date si lani, no pasalubong!

sumagot na si suzanne sa email ko!
she gave me her cel # and i called her, but no
one answered.
i left a message na lang in the answering
machine.
hopefully, i'll get to see her and tour nya ako
sa disneyland.
chuks!

Ü marlon

belinda2002ph (02:23:33 AM): hahahaha
belinda2002ph (02:23:48 AM): eh tarantado ....!
mpasilon (02:24:02 AM): o ano na?
belinda2002ph (02:24:29 AM): anyways
belinda2002ph (02:24:41 AM): na-sad kami kasi si cherryl sad di ba...
belinda2002ph (02:24:48 AM): tas she was saying some thing like...
belinda2002ph (02:24:59 AM): how come it's taking too long for THE ONE to come along
belinda2002ph (02:25:02 AM): hayyyy
belinda2002ph (02:25:07 AM): ang tagal tagal daw nia
belinda2002ph (02:25:09 AM): hahahahahaah
belinda2002ph (02:25:22 AM): now that was really weird
mpasilon (02:28:07 AM): seryoso?
mpasilon (02:28:16 AM): bat the one agad hinahanap nya?
belinda2002ph (02:28:32 AM): siempre
belinda2002ph (02:28:35 AM): asus
belinda2002ph (02:28:40 AM): serioso ba masiado?
belinda2002ph (02:28:46 AM): dapat ba fun muna?
mpasilon (02:28:53 AM): bat di muna mga practice partners? chuks!
belinda2002ph (02:29:00 AM): akala ko ba anything less than mad passionate love is a waste of my time
mpasilon (02:29:24 AM): oo kasi how can you know that it's true love when you're not ready for it?
mpasilon (02:29:43 AM): and how can you prepare for it if you haven't had enough experience?
belinda2002ph (02:30:05 AM): what ever...bat kelangan pa magpractice...e when he;s the one na...everything will fall into place...
mpasilon (02:30:21 AM): how would you know that it's mad passionate love? compared to what?
mpasilon (02:30:42 AM): sa tingin ko ma-appreciate mo lang fully yung mad passionate love kung naka-experience ka ng so-so love affairs
belinda2002ph (02:30:48 AM): why the need to compare...
mpasilon (02:30:54 AM): then you'll know it's mad passionate love
belinda2002ph (02:30:56 AM): u just have to feel it...
mpasilon (02:31:16 AM): there's a need to compare kasi how would you know bad from good, kung isa lang alam mo diba?
mpasilon (02:31:33 AM): yes, you would feel it, but would you know the diff?
mpasilon (02:31:42 AM): baka yung napi-feel mo yung bad pala
mpasilon (02:32:35 AM): or at least may mas better
mpasilon (02:32:51 AM): syempre, mas na, better pa. chuks!
belinda2002ph (02:32:51 AM): ha...i think we have enuf mental/emotionl capabilities to b able to discern that
belinda2002ph (02:33:00 AM): ewan...
belinda2002ph (02:33:11 AM): sabihin ko na lang yan ke cherryl
mpasilon (02:33:25 AM): that's what people always say. parang education yan, once you graduate from college, feeling mo andami mong alam
mpasilon (02:33:52 AM): pero once you start working, bigla ka na lang nagugulat at parang di mo ma-apply yung napag-aralan mo
belinda2002ph (02:34:14 AM): and...
belinda2002ph (02:34:16 AM): pero
belinda2002ph (02:34:23 AM): human relationship is a dif think...
belinda2002ph (02:34:38 AM): hindi pedeng gawing allusion sa metaphor ng education
mpasilon (02:35:08 AM): it's the same thing, we can read countless books about love, watch romantic movies, pero once nandun ka na, may mga bagay na di pala applicable sa situation mo
belinda2002ph (02:35:50 AM): i see ur point...
mpasilon (02:35:59 AM): having this mentality: "i think we have enuf mental/emotionl capabilities to b able to discern that", it's a sign na you haven't had enough heartbreaks, etc
belinda2002ph (02:36:26 AM): so i guess it's the same with ppl...to each his own...kng sa likes ni cherryl d kailangan magpractice...then by all means..
mpasilon (02:36:36 AM): i asked a friend kung ano yung major no-no nya sa mga magiging gf nya
belinda2002ph (02:36:37 AM): heartbreaks ka jan
belinda2002ph (02:36:47 AM): ano?
mpasilon (02:36:54 AM): yung ibang sumagot, sabi nila, ayaw nila yung nagpa-abort, nakapatay, etc
mpasilon (02:37:03 AM): pero ok yung sagot nya
belinda2002ph (02:37:07 AM): ano
mpasilon (02:37:08 AM): ayaw lang nya ng smoker
belinda2002ph (02:37:17 AM): wat's nice about that
mpasilon (02:37:23 AM): sabi ko, "yun na? walang morality issue chuchu?"
mpasilon (02:37:44 AM): sabi nya, hindi naman pwede i-judge ang isang tao based on moral grounds like nagpa-abort
mpasilon (02:37:57 AM): parang may median rule pa rin, middle ground
mpasilon (02:38:13 AM): what if nagpa-abort sya dahil na-rape sya? would you take it against her?
mpasilon (02:38:51 AM): so not because nagpa-abort, ayaw na nya sa girl. so para sa kanya, madaming factors dapat i-consider, hindi yung automatic na basta nagpa-abort, no na agad
mpasilon (02:38:58 AM): and gusto ko yung logic nya
mpasilon (02:39:39 AM): and that's how we should choose our partners, not because naging drug addict, no na agad
belinda2002ph (02:39:56 AM): htat's nice...pero i doubt if id believe him
mpasilon (02:40:16 AM): so yung major no-no nya, yung something specific, walang middle ground like smoking
belinda2002ph (02:40:18 AM): kahit naman sino have a set of moral values na gusto nia from a partner...
mpasilon (02:40:22 AM): it's either you're a smoker or not
belinda2002ph (02:40:27 AM): ahh
belinda2002ph (02:40:28 AM): ic
belinda2002ph (02:40:29 AM): ok
belinda2002ph (02:40:42 AM): that's nice hahaaha
mpasilon (02:40:47 AM): yeah, pero dapat iwe-weigh mo pa rin, kasi baka acceptable naman
mpasilon (02:41:34 AM): ang major no-no ko: ayoko ng negro!!!
mpasilon (02:41:40 AM):
belinda2002ph (02:41:46 AM): hahahahaahahahha
belinda2002ph (02:41:48 AM): arte naman
belinda2002ph (02:41:52 AM): ako hindi pede yan
mpasilon (02:41:58 AM): it's either maputi ka or maitim. chuks!
belinda2002ph (02:42:04 AM): kasi it's something that a person cannot control
mpasilon (02:42:06 AM): ok lang smoker
belinda2002ph (02:42:20 AM): pero smoking u can control..
mpasilon (02:42:29 AM): yeah, pero it's preference na rin diba? parang ikaw, gusto mo ba ng anak na maiitim?
belinda2002ph (02:42:34 AM): but u cant blame someone for beeing black
belinda2002ph (02:42:40 AM): whatever marlon
mpasilon (02:42:41 AM): wala syang moral grounds
mpasilon (02:43:08 AM): hindi ako against them, pero kung as partner na hahalikan ko, dapat masunod yung preference ko diba?
mpasilon (02:43:13 AM): kaw ba, gusto mo ng unano?
belinda2002ph (02:43:22 AM): watever marlon
belinda2002ph (02:43:59 AM): siasia...preferences preferences...
belinda2002ph (02:44:08 AM): parang kanta yun ni alanis...
mpasilon (02:44:48 AM): it's not something he can't control, pero syempre ayaw mo yun diba?
belinda2002ph (02:45:01 AM): whatever marlon
belinda2002ph (02:45:08 AM): bahala na...malay mo
belinda2002ph (02:45:12 AM): chuks!
mpasilon (02:45:19 AM): malay mo?
mpasilon (02:45:28 AM): syempre may limitations pa rin diba?
belinda2002ph (02:45:30 AM): hahahaha
belinda2002ph (02:45:32 AM): ok
mpasilon (02:45:39 AM): somehow, may wide range of preferences ka diba?
mpasilon (02:46:05 AM): hindi naman tayo karinderiang bukas sa lahat ng gustong kumain
mpasilon (02:46:06 AM): chuks!
mpasilon (02:46:08 AM): teka, cr lang ako

chuks!

BELINDA, got your email, i also emailed suzanne.
i'm going to LA this nov 1-3, to visit howie.
tapos baka balik ako sa december para kina glen and dessa naman.
we're planning to go to las vegas (woohoo!).
hopefully, i'll also get to visit suzanne.
tapos libre nya ako sa disneyland.
chuks!

nalungkot naman ako sa mga chismis about francis.
hindi ko rin naman masabi kung ano ba talaga kasi
hindi ko rin alam ang side nya (say!).
siguro i'll ask sophie.
chuks!

CHERRYL, try to detach yourself muna from him.
i know, it's easier said than done but it's the only way.
if you allow yourself na maging close pa,
baka mas lalo kang ma-hurt.
actually, mas sad pa yung news about your work.
mukhang di kayo pwedeng magsama ni sophie.
chuks!

LANI, anong balita sa yo at di ka nag-iimik?
kamusta na ang boylet mong si allan?
may gana pa rin bang mag-text?
chuks!

SHIELA, malulula ka sa dami ng cutie dito.
minsan ayoko matulog sa kotse dahil baka may ma-miss ako.
chuks!

galing kami sanfo (short for san francisco) yday,
kali-kaliwa ang keri, bawat sulok!
tapos grabe maglandian ang mga tao dito.
french kissing in broad daylight!
gusto ko na tuloy pumunta nang LA nang makarampa na!
chuks!

balita ko may bet kayo ni anthony?
paano kung sabihin mong one night ang kapalit?
game ka na ba na ipakita ang daan patungong langit?
chuks!

Ü marlon
the next pinoy sensation in the states

red squirrel...we wanted a name for the website that would connote all of the following: friendship, 4 gurls and 1 gay, love, boylets and the lack of it, marlon's 6-month stay in the US...red squirrel because this blog will see the many perspectives of 5 different people: I, marlon, cherryl, lani and shiela...red squirrel because like a certain spanish movie this blog will definitely be kindda saykolow...heck, red squirrel just because. belinda :)

updates: October 10 9:30 PM by Cherryl and Shiela

Hello everyone! We are here in Cubao trying our site. We just finished watching Mr. Deeds, and I (Cherryl) find it funny. Si Shiela naman happy rin. Bakit????????????????????? Kasi may boylet na naman syang bago. And as of today twice na nagmiscall sa kanya!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O say? Sayang di nya narinig di tuloy nya nakausap. Nga pala his name's Chicoy. Kaso may problem... he has a girlfriend, nasa States nga lang as of the moment kaya super naglalandi ke Shiela. Ito namang Shiela super pareact-react and pa-entertain. As if!!!!!!!!! The guy wanted pa nga to go to her house to see daw her RTW's kasi daw nagbebenta rin sya. Kaya lang ang Shiela nag-inarte, may pupuntahan daw sya, nahiya lang pala kasi puro bayong yung bahay nila. Ayun e di lost ang byuti nya. Super Sad. But he asked naman to go out with her someday soon. Wish ko lang wag na mag-inarte yung isa dyan.
LANI: yun wala pa ring kwenta. As of October 10 puro text text pa rin ng cheesy ang Allan. AS IF. Tawa ko lang pag nagkita yung dalawang yun at lost pala yung guy. Baka kamukha na naman ni Tenorio (FYI Marlon: lost ang Tenoriong ito, basketball player nga lang kaya pinagtitiyagaan na ni Lani!) Eto kasing Tenorio na player ng Ateneo e hawig daw ni Mark accdg to Shiela (and Lani rin daw). Lost Talaga! Anyway, si Mark dead na so di ko alam what will happen to their story. Baka talagang he's the one who got away ni Lani.

BELINDA: Di pa ba kinukwento ni Belinda sa yo yung the one who got away nya. Ipakwento mo, kasi laging naiiyak yun pag naaalala. Happy! (Sorry Belinds!)

Cherryl: Lost na nga ang career, lost pa ang lovelife. I don't think I'll be able to follow your advice Marlon na layuan ko muna kasi sabi ni Shiela di lang sya nasa puso ko, bumaba pa down there oh!!! Chuks!! the truth is I find it or he'll find it weird if I'll distant myself to him coz he doesn't know what I'm feeling for him. (Drama!!!) So I'll just enjoy the friendship and be a nice girl. Pero sana ma-realize nya na jerk sya!!!! GAgo sya!!! and accdg to Shiela .... TARANTADO!!!!!! I'm such a good friend! Hanapan mo na lang kami ng win dyan para naman makaalis na kami dito. Gusto namin super win ha!!!

**** OO nga pala, we read about your promise na pasalubong....swarovski ba yun???!!!! Super happy kami lahat. Kebs na ke Lani kasi baka after 48 years pa yun magkaroon ng first date. Gusto namin ni Shiela white gold yung pinaka-base kasi we want it not too attention-seeking (word of Shiela) e yun nga daw mukha namin sobra ng attention-seeking dadagdagan pa!!! Chuks!!! Kung Ikaw Marlon and hottes sensation sa US, Kami naman ang Ultimate Goddesses of Manila. So pano ba yan, birds of the same feather flock together talaga. REminder from Shiela: yun daw jacket nya. She heard daw kasi mura yung RL jacket. Kung pwede mo daw sya bilhan. Size small. Mas ok daw if gift mo sa kanya.

Uy sige, we'll just make kwento some other time. Umuulan na dito sa Cubao, with matching Kidlat pa. E baka mabasa si Shiela, dumami pa!!! E-mail ka daw nya Marlon sa ganders. Sya til next time. Hasta La Vista BABY!!! Au revoir!!! Arrivederci!!! Say!!!!?
