The Valentine and That.

The boyfriend and I were at SM on Valentines Saturday when Bagyo Bising got heavier and we were forced to stay indoors and shopped the entire day. Not that I minded but that’s not the kind of indoor activity I was hoping for but hey, we can’t be choosy especially when a storm is in the way of your love life. The Valentine lunch (I think “The Valentine..” talk will have more following in this post) was at CNT, man, you can never take me away from that Cebu treat!  

We got home at six and were too pooped to get up and join all that Valentine madness. I hate that SUN CELLULAR doesn’t have service at our apartment so The Valentine greeting and where-are-you-its-a-circus-here-they-need-an-acrobat messages were delayed. I’ve always voted for the Piolo, Sam Milby, Christian Bautista, and Mark Bautista concert that Valentine night at the Waterfront against the SITTI concert at the CICC – which I heard sucks because she CANNOT ever do concerts like Freestyle or Parokya ni Edgar (Hey Sitti, brush up on your airbrush jokes!) Instead, we spent Valentines eve dancing and meeting up with friends. Fun. No frills.

Adios, 2008.

Got this from IYA.

Where did you begin the year 2008? Sinulog, of course. Started the year with the best festival in the Philippines. I was in Cagayan de Oro with the folks for New Year’s Eve then flew back to Cebu the next day.
What was your status by Valentines Day? Single.
Were you in school anytime this year? Not anymore. I’ve thought about enrolling something to pass the time but it never happened. Haha.
Did you have to go to the hospital? Oh, yes. Somewhere mid-2008. May.
Did you gain or lose weight? Lost.
What food did you get to eat the most? Lechon. Lechon. Ah, lechon.
What alcoholic beverage did you get to drink the most? Bailey’s. December 2008 at Noel’s Christening party for Nyte.
What was the best thing someone ever did for you this year? Be a best friend.
What movie was your favorite this year? I don’t remember! What is wrong with me? Haha. I’m hardly a movie goer so when I leave the theater I feel like there is no difference.
Ever been a fight this year? Lots! Fist fight. Slap the fish kind.
Did you have any encounters with the police? No. Thank God.
Where did you go for vacation? Beaches in Cebu.
What did you purchase that was over 100 dollars? my iPod touch. Oh, wait, my mom did. Oops.
Did you know anybody who got married? Geoffrey Namalata.
Anybody who passed away? Heidi. Dec 2008.
Attend any sporting events? None.
What concerts or shows did you go to? Kaskade! Haha. Fashion shows. Veyga shows.
Describe your birthday: FUN! White Night Party at Zcrets Bar. Thanks to my friends who came!
Your favorite moment(s): Beach hopping from San Rem to everywhere.
New additions to your family: Just three of Tiara and Hugo’s babies: Tombo (RIP), Pook and Kiara.
What was your best month? April I guess with the endless beach parties. I didn’t sport a tan though nor even learned to swim but it was the entire experience of being with your girls that counts.
Made any new friends? very much and kept old ones, too.

Other than home, where did you spend most of you time? At the workplace, in Cagayan de Oro and all over Cebu.

How old did you turn this year? 26. Bah.

Do you have a New Year’s Resolution? I told myself to never again be anywhere near the hospital unless I am visiting friends or family or just there to have some disorder diagnosed.

Have you had any regrets? Never!

Done anything embarrassing? Yeah. Caused a scene at some public place here in the city. *gasp*

Gotten married/divorced? None.

Have you watched American Idol? No. And I’m not sorry, too.

Have you gotten sick? Oh, I plan to not be sick this year. But yes, got hospitalized last May.

What’s a song that best describes you during the beginning of the year? Just Stand Up by Miley Cyrus and other artists

And by the end of the year? Circus by Britney Spears

If you could give your life to get anything back, what would it be? To have that 105lbs weight I had eons ago haha. How superficial of me. Okay, I would like to have the respect I had for myself and maybe it would have helped with the present relationships that I am now in with my friends and my family.

When it is always good to burn bridges and never anymore look back at the past, there are memories last year that I would like to treasure.

Sinulog 2008. Fun times, people.

WHO’S DELINQUENT?

Still post-delinquent, I have to admit. Delinquent here but not on other sites of mine. I haven’t realized the gravity of how tedious it is to copy write and maintain your personal sites as well. Even if I have ALL the time in the world to write, I no longer get to respond to real emails! My friend Joe Wagner has been asking me how I was and it is just ironic to not reply back with lengthy mails like how I used to do before when I hardly have the time to write.

Ersh… Ersh… spilt milk.

The real dilemma is trying to get a moment with the boyfriend when we both have different Timezones. I already swore myself off the PST, CST, MST and EST jargons and am happily deducing myself to think that, hey, it’s 4pm, MANILA time, and, yes, 4pm, in the afternoon where sunlight still is cancerous! I do miss my bank moments and lunch with the old team but the new department that I am now at doesn’t seem to have any problem at all with the schedule so why should I? When I say lunch, it is at 12 N-O-O-N.

Back to the boyfie (why does this always have to be about me?), he works at night, goes home in the mornings and is a light sleeper – meaning he sleeps when there’s light! Contrary to my schedule, he zonks out when I get out of work. Poor baby. He really does make an effort to spend time with me regardless of his lack of sleep. But what about my lack of sleep? Argh. I find myself sometimes rushing along with Cebu’s traffic to get to work. Whoever said compromise is easy? Yes, only Edward Cullen can do that but not everyone is a few decades old, lives off on Volvos and possesses amazing supernatural strength.
