Erratum

Oh, not softball. Shimizu S-Pulse is a football team :p I'm sorry I'm not a fan.

If I'm not this shy to take his picture, it would just take a millisecond for me to click on my phone camera. But I think I am not that eager to take a snapshot. I am seated next to a Shimizu Pulse's (softball) dork :p

Who Won?

Alone

My loneliness is killing me... Yak, yak, yuck! Britney Spears is killing me!

Rain

I'm unpacking again because the clothes I've prepared for my trip tomorrow are mostly casual dressy garments. It's been raining for the past few days. I don't think I want my pumps drowned in a pool of water. No, being chic won't be fitting me in this unpredictable weather. Although I've already checked the forecast, it shows that there'll be a downpour. Sigh, I don't want to be confined in my hotel for the rest of the weekend.

And I felt so stupid, was likely to faint two nights ago when I hit the wrong button and was late to realize about it. I have already been confirmed of a ticket to the F1 Japan GrandPrix this October. My seat-ticket is scheduled on delivery by August. When, when, when I was browsing back my page and argh...!!! I can't even finish writing about it. It stings in my heart. Oh please, I really hope I will be reading a positive outcome when I get another confirmation email on Monday from the agent. Or I should be calling the customer center any time by now.

Missed

Today's hard without you.

I'd look at my phone every time I've had the chance, all the while knowing that there wasn't going to be anything.

I threw myself into the practice and tried my best to forget, but it always came back to you.

I danced vigorously, but it could not replace the emptiness created from that hug you gave.

I was stressed, and I thought of you, and I couldn't - wouldn't - talk to you.

Everything I thought of, everything I did, you were always at the back of my mind.

I couldn't bear to see anyone today except for those people I had to - because they just weren't you.

The song was so beautiful - and everytime I hear it I felt like crying - and you know I hate it when I'm caught in between sobs.

I tried to focus more today.

I still miss you, though.

... And at the end of the day, when the place's finally deserted and I was alone, I wondered if you were thinking of me and missing me like I do you.

Gourmet Overdose: Korea Food Trip

Childhood

Just a quickie... Have a schedule to fly to the moon tonight.


This is my uber-vivacious childhood friend. She's a real darling but she could be a raging bitch. So don't try to mess up with her or any of her friends, that includes me, because she'd scorn you to hell. We rarely update on each other, but we'll see each other soonest if our schedule permits. And I really hope her presence won't make me cringe in my own skin. It's been a while, really long while since we last saw each other in Manila. Gah, I was mesmerized by her at that time. Who doesn't? All eyes ogled at her sexiness. I should say, she's so blessed and I'm happy for her. Despite the tragic death of her mom when we just got in the university, then her dad followed just when she's starting to make a life of her own. She's hurdled a lot of intrigues. She might have freed herself from the restraints of being a Muslim, and her values may have loosened, she's stood as pillar to her younger siblings. They are her inspirations to keep on pushing herself to the limits. I quote her, I wake up. I wash my face and go. It's another day. I'm sure. I fight for what I love. And the music keeps going on, my heart begins to beat. Makes my life complete. I'm flying away.


And of course, you will have another him in any minute. They are for certain not worth your tears. I always have you in my prayers, Yang. You know I always do. And I missed Tita too. Your mom was like a mom to me as well. I'm sure if she's still here, though you will complain about her nagging, she'd be too proud of you. You've become what she's always wanted you to be. Being part of FACE and their ace-model, you are a Star... born to be IT! I love you.

Jimi Hendrix

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright, she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing.

(sob, sob, sob... Where in the world did you go, Big Wings? Fly away with your piano?)

Anime Princess

Sushi + Oreo = Ohisashiburi deshita

Before I hit the hays and hum myself to sleep, I want to pay tribute to Ryle for fixing my page. Your effort means a world to me. You prod me to write. Thanks mucho! By the way, you're right. I scored just the passing mark. Whoot. I was darn too ashame to fail that exam.

So earlier this evening, that smorgasbord of sushi, I've had the whole platter to myself alone (can you believe it?), weighed heavily against my stomach not! I squealed of joy when I read a text message from sensei.

Goodness, this brain is still working. Let's get an Oreo, my treat!

Across the street, over a cup of McFlurry we concluded our night in unbending and straightening out of unrelated ideas. Simply we've had the pleasant get together tonight.

Good night, world.
