While I was in Manila, my sister and I caught a movie on HBO with Ben Afleck and Gwyneth Paltrow. I found it interesting, here's a line from the movie:

I want your company. The pleasure of your company. I want your input on video rentals. I stand there for hours, I can’t pick anything out. I want someone to say goodnight to, a last call of the day.
-- Bounce (2000)

If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should first decide whether you have a better head or a better heart.

[music| Cute Without the E, Taking Back Sunday]

Guess who's the smart lady who fell asleep at 7:30pm, woke up 4 hours later and now cannot go back to bed? hint: ME!!!! LOL.

Jeez, I'm really a smart one eh? But my bed felt sooo inviting and I felt really tired from spending the whole day packing and moving to my new apartment. Yes, I'm leaving my lovely Lange Smeestraat apartment for a BIGGER, BETTER and CHEAPER one. I still feel sad about leaving though. I love my house, we have so much memories together =( however, things change and we must move on. Will post pictures of the new house soon.

***
I watched the Taking Back Sunday - New Again, concert yesterday at Melkweg - Amsterdam. Was supposed to watch it with Gian and Allan but the two decided to leave me hanging and go home to Manila. LOL.

So yeah, I watched it alone. This from a girl who has never watched a movie alone and does not eat at restaurants by herself ~~,until I got to Holland~~. Albeit watching it alone, I actually had a great time =) I really think I'm getting better at this independence thing. It was real rock show! \m/ posting videos right this moment.

***
Turning 25 in a few days. WOW. 25 years seems a long while. WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE?! lol. hmm.. looking back, I think I've had a hell of a time haha! there won't be any parties this year as I'm spending my birthday here in Utrecht, ALONE. (can you taste the bitterness in that one?) BUT, there really isnt any reason to be bitter, how many people get to spend their 25th birthday in EUROPE? I'm actually very lucky. Will definitely try and make it a good one.

Just 11 days to go and I'm Manila-bound. YAY!

[lss| I Don't Care, 2NE1]

I'm still not over what happened during the weekend. I think about it constantly.
I don't think I'll be able to just overlook it. Obviously, the damage has been done and it's not something you just ignore and try to forget.

I wish people would just back the f*ck off. Live your own life and stop picking on mine.

oh, look at the time

5 days in Manila and not a single day that I stayed at home. LOL.

Day 1

Barcino with Rj, Holly, Triccia and Miko

Day 2

Sidebar with Highschool Friends

Day 3

My Welcome Home Party, Tin's Grad Party, Julie's Bday Party

Day 4

Punta Fuego

Day 5

Dinner with Jaja, Chez and Katz

My mom is definitely going to kill me. I haven't spent enough time with her yet. T_T

I'll be off to Hong Kong from Thursday-Saturday with RJ. Finally, some time together. Rj has been joking ~~complaining~~ about me prioritizing my friends over him. And I promised him I'd make up for being busy the whole of March due to System Testing deadlines. Sorry baby! *hug*

Hmm. This is probably my busiest flyback yet. Haha! Can't wait to see what's in store for me next week ^_^

I got drunk. okay, so not really drunk just "buzzed". hahaha! Miko, M (Miko's friend), Holly, Triccia, RJ and I went to Barcino-Ortigas last night for some drinks. ^_^ Red wine is love ♥ ♥ ♥

I missed my friends! and they missed me :P ang saya lang yesterday nung mga hirits eh. I can't wait for Fuego on Sun-Mon. Obviously, we'll just get drunk again hahaha! Hopefully, Louie Nacho and Lyx will be going with us.

I miss my house and the cold weather. haha! ang ineeeeet eh! :P

Just one more day and I'm gonna be back in Manila! wooooot! :)
Can't wait to see everyone again. Can't wait to eat! wooohooo! I probably gain at least 5 pounds everytime I'm on flyback haha. But, what the hell.. I'm deprived of good food here. T_T

Hong Kong trip with RJ scheduled on the 9th of April. :) it'll be our first time to travelling together. Hopefully, we won't get on each others nerves. haha! I have to ask Diane and Cat for directions and tips. It'll definitely be an experience navigating through HK, usually I just follow people around. :p

Too bad I'll only be home for 2 weeks. It'll suck to go back to Utrecht and have all my loved ones in Manila. :( Utrecht will definitely be a lonely place when I get back.

too early...

I finally finished watching Before Sunrise, OMG. I loooooove it. I'll probably watch it again this week. haha. Their conversations sound sooooo familiar. *sigh* ♥ ♥ ♥

Celine in Before Sunrise:
"If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt."

[music| All I Ask of You, Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack ]

I was watching Before Sunrise a few minutes ago, I still haven't finished it but I've already went past the part where a guy wrote a poem for them. It's funny how Jesse and Celine never ran out of things to talk about. Rarely will you meet someone who you can talk with so freely. Ahh. Love. hahaha!

Delusion Angel
- David Jewell

Daydream, delusion, limousine, eyelash.
Oh baby with your pretty face.
Drop a tear in my wineglass.
Look at those big eyes.
See what you mean to me.
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes.
I'm delusion angel, I'm fantasy parade,
I want you to know what I think.
Don't want you to guess anymore.
You have no idea where I came from.
We have no idea where we're going.
Latched in life, Like branches in a river,
Flowing downstream, Caught in the current,
I'll carry you, You'll carry me.
That's how it could be, Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

I feel sad and I don't even know why. I hope tomorrow will be better. I wish to hear some good news.

oh look it's March.

So what have I been doing lately? hmm nothing much. been up to no good. HAHA!

There were a loooot of gimiks this past 2 weeks. Ivan's Birthday, Cris' Cocktail party, The Script concert, Billiards night, dinners with friends. I've also been catching up on movies. In two weeks I've watched: Definitely Maybe, The Last Kiss, Garden State, Only You, Nick & Norah's Infinitely Playlist, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Rewatched Chasing Liberty and half-watched Before Sunrise and Princess Bride. Must finished Before Sunrise and Before Sunset this week.

Hmm. come to think of it I was kind of busy. ;)
Hmmm.. *sigh*
4 weeks. :P
