Thank You for saving me. And for a life that has always been incredibly good. I could not ask for more.

I forgot. Part two.

At Crossings. About one of the dresses in the window.
Me: That's nice.
Me: If only it weren't red.
Me: And shiny.

We were getting Louie a graphic novel.
Lex: Paano, isa lang bibilhin natin? Or tig-isa tayo?
Me: Hindi, pwede na yan. It's not that cheap. Anyway, recession naman e.

While taking a break at White Hat.
Me: Nakaka-tae lang yung chocolate syrup.
Lex: O_o
Me: Hindi literally. Sobrang overwhelming eh. Lagi mo ba nilalagyan?
Lex: Oo, pag meron. Pero pangit yung chocolate syrup nila eh. Cheap.
Me: Sobrang nakaka-tae eh.

It's officially Christmas Eve!

Perhaps Christmas is a worthy enough occasion to stop being all EMO and get into the spirit. Lex and I went shopping for presents today. Finally. She woke me up around 9am, and despite all my protests that it was too early to go shopping, she managed to drag me out of bed. It's not easy to go back to sleep when someone is whacking you with a pillow and yapping away about how there's so much work to be done.

So much work, indeed. We only really needed four presents, but somehow we got assigned to do Tita Leni's Christmas shopping too. It took the entire day and I passed out right after we got home. Good times, though. This is one of my favorite holiday traditions.

I was spazzed out during the first hour of being at the mall, because I was still so sleepy.
Lex: Maybe you need coffee. Let's go to Starbucks.
Me: Absolutely NOT! Starbucks is for posers.
Lex: What? But I just want a peppermint mocha. :( Diba gusto mo rin yun?
Me: Yes, but still, no.

Lex: Let's go. You're the brains of this entire operation.
Me: (smirking) I know. I'm always the brains.
Lex: (makes a face and sticks her tongue out at me)

Me: Doesn't that look nice?
Lex: No, it looks... unshapely.
Me: (I raise my eyebrows and smile at her as if to say yiiii, you sound so smart) Unshaaaapely! Naks!
We both burst out laughing like the idiots we are.

We're in Debenham's, looking at clothes for one of our little cousins. There's this adorable pink and grey hoodie that would be perfect for J.Lo, so I pick it up and look at the price tag.
1750. Or something like that.
Me: Tang ina niyo.

And I have similar reactions to everything unreasonably priced.

Lex: Is Zara also for posers?
Nikki: Yeshh, kashe, you know, like, I got this new shirt, and it's from Zaruuuh, which is like, you know, totally my favorite stooore. (insert expletives)
Lex: You have issues.

Truly. Haha. So much for mellowing out.

Merry Christmas, everyone. :)

I've had emotional breakdowns before..but I never expected my body to give up on me like this :( Last Monday night i was diagnosed with ulcer T.T Stupid pool water, pancit canton and siomai T.T I was used to eating dinner after I finished tutoring, which is 9 or 10 pm on weekdays but something started twisting my stomach after I played Swimengg last Sunday. Now my Engg week is short lived, and I feel SOOOOOO painful and emo. I am alone during mornings and am even too tired to text. I have so many things to do but I can't even stand up straight. I just want to cry and sleep til this two weeks of stomach reparation is over..

Please post many many pictures because its the only thing that entertains me now :( tapos ko na Glee at GG episodes :((

I broke my posting streak yesterday. I didn't feel like writing after I got home from the ES 1 exam. I seem to have lost all motivation for doing anything. I spent most of today watching Chuck and sleeping. I feel so drowsy and lethargic. It's so weird.

I haven't studied for my ChE 125 exam. I will begin to regret this in approximately eighteen hours. For now, I'm just excited to write because AV and Haze both posted new entries, and this makes me feel giddy with excitement! LJ is slowly waking up. *Nudge, nudge, nudge* Let's keep going, people!

I'm also feeling excited because after 7pm tomorrow, I will be absolutely free. I can't wait to go jogging. I didn't get to do it the whole of last week, and I find myself missing it. I crave the steady rhythm of my feet on the pavement, the sweat seeping through my shirt, the burning in my lungs, and the blood rushing through my veins. I miss the way everything falls away, how all the noise of the world dwindles to a distant murmur. I started jogging just because I wanted to lose weight. If that was the extent of my motivation, I would've given up after a few days. I keep doing it because it keeps me sane. And it's good for the heart. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm feeling drowsy.

There are so many things I want to do. I want to go Christmas shopping, and I want to meet up with friends whom I haven't seen in a while. I've already made arrangements with Ace and Joanne for Friday. They're coming to watch Miss Engg with us. I want to arrange a party for the Pisay barkada, the AJSS people and maybe the PRIME Execom. Cris will be home from Atlanta in a couple of days, and Julia will be back on Saturday! I talked to her today, and that always puts me in a good mood. I miss my best friend. I miss all my best friends. This week is going to be all kinds of amazing.

Now, I just have to get past the 125 exam. Toodles.

I just got home from school. I watched Smoker night with Mark, Haze, Hopia and Camille. We even sat with the ALCHEMES crowd (haha). I had a good time breaking my throat with all the screaming. I never really thought I'd say this, but Eng'g week fever is contagious. :)

I look forward to next week, because you'll be there to see it with me. I've barely seen you the whole week. I'm trying so hard to be cool and not needy, but you know I'm really not cool at all. I miss you, and you're miles and miles away. I hate it. Come back. :(
