A. Ten things you WISH you COULD SAY
1. Umayos ka, please. Ginugulo mo ako.
2. I don't want to like you. The thought terrifies me.
3. How can I even begin to stay away from you, when I love how you can make me laugh so hard?
4. You are giving me the signs I ask, but I still don't want to believe.
5. Wag ka makipag-landian. It's not like you.
6. Are you blind??? Hindi kayo bagay.
7. How can you just give up?
8. Let's be friends forever.
9. I'm so happy we still hang-out and we're still so much the group we started out to be.
10. Hire me. You won't ever, ever regret it.
B. Nine things about YOURSELF:
1. Sarcastic, obnoxious, can be a real catty bitch when provoked; can't stand to be serious for any length of time except for a few seconds when needed; non-effort to be earnest if deserved, otherwise maximum tolerance if required. (Paki-internalize nalang on your own. Haha.)
2. I always want to discover more about myself, so I don't mind putting myself in unfamiliar-within-acceptable-risk-of-humiliation situations. Also part of the reason why I love to travel.
3. A romantic, but not the hopeless, mushy type. Yung tamang feel good lang, na occasionally extra-special. I sometimes feel like crying at beautiful weddings, though.
4. I love group work. Sometimes I even like doing something on my own, for a group's benefit.
5. Music is my life, and my life is music.
6. Aspirational - wants to keep improving the quality of life, especially mine and of those I care about.
7. Wants to prove myself before quitting.
8. Madali ako mahawa sa the way magsalita ang kausap ko.
9. I love being creative, but that's my frustration. Haha.
C. Eight ways to WIN your heart:
1. Malinis and mabango - always. Even after sports.
2. Impressive-good at at least one sport (not chess, please) and/or nakaka-inlove sumayaw
3. Gentleman and thoughtful
4. Sense of humor
5. Blue long-stemmed rose(s)
6. Coffee delivery
7. Surprises
8. Getting a message or a call out of the blue, and not because of a favor
D. Seven things that cross your mind a LOT through the day:
1. I have to get a move on in my career.
2. Roadtrip out of town or beach or holiday abroad - ASAP.
3. I want to sleep.
4. I want coffee.
5. I have to get this kind of shoes.
6. I have to get this done.
7. I want to be complete. (Centrum???)
E. Six little STUPID things you want to happen to you before you die:
1. Have a walk-in closet.
2. Buy a car - mine and mine alone.
3. Have my picture taken with one of my Hollywood infatuations.
4. Get pissed drunk.
5. Become a millionaire.
6. Be on a widely-read national paper.
F. Five turn offs:
1. A guy who flirts with every girl he has an eye for.
2. A guy who's being a jerk.
3. A guy who doesn't have standards, or pretends to have a few but chucks it out the window the moment a girl throws herself on his feet.
4. Inappropriate behavior
5. Palengkera/no-class manners
G. Four turn ons:
1. Nice and clean haircut
2. Nice and clean smell
3. Nice and clean clothes
4. Nice, well-built body.
H. Three smiles that describe your life:
1. @.@
2. :D
3. :|
I. Two things you wish you never did:
1. Quitting UP Pep.
2. Buying stuff I'll never get to use more than once or twice.
J. One confession:
1. I want to participate in a dance concert.

| I've made my comeback to Team Val. Six months (from October to March) and two managers (Ivy and Lai) later, I am back with the first real team I've ever had in my whole working life in HSBC. I was so happy that I literally screamed during the section huddle, when it was evident that I was, indeed, going to be part of Team Val again. Which was unexpected to some people, I guess, me being loud; but whan can YOU do when you are just plain ecstatic? Although part of me is anxious, because it HAS been quite a long time, and they've had new team mates since I left the team. Some things might have changed, and definitely there have been happenings that I do not know about, on account of my being in a different team and over the other side of the floor, no less. But I am still so very excited. I've been having a really hard time at work lately; but so far, the stress is paying off. I'm hoping my former-teammates-turned-present teammates will not be acting weird around me, and that I can keep my momentum in hitting my sales target - despite the fact that I'll be flying solo in Team Val, project-wise. | | |
| Robert Pattinson has the most devastating smile, I swear. And the most unassuming voice.
I attended the premiere night of Twilight last night. This was the first time, the first movie I ever thought was worth the extra price.
About three things I'm absolutely positive.
1. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's hardly perfect, but I think it's a good complement to the books.
2. While some people were disappointed about the changes made in the story, I think they were minor and were essential to keep things interesting for the moviegoer who hasn't read the novels.
3. It's going to be a lot crazy for a long while for Twilight fans, what with the 3 remaining books lined up for the big screen.
It takes a really loyal fan of the Twilight saga to appreciate the movie. I have little patience for those who are giving it crap. It really wasn't that bad at all.

| Boring entry. Just updates for those who are curious. Haha. 1. I got promoted last May to senior sales associate.
2. I applied for a managerial position last August but the company stopped hiring, even internally.
3. August and September were hectic months for me.
4. I'm moving on from cards to traditional bank products. For now. Quite a move, because all I've ever handled from the beginning were about cards. This will be a challenge.
5. Because I don't want this list to be all about work - I'll be going to Boracay with three high school friends next week. Just for three days and two nights. I'm so excited! People now and then ask me how I am, and I automatically say, "Same, same." But when I really think about it, there has been one major change - I go out more often. I cannot stand to be alone or at home or doing nothing. I'm a bit more daring now - I applied for a higher position while working for less than a year; I accepted a terrifying, high profile project; I booked a 3-day vacation with friends without confirming with my parents first if it was ok to go; I go to dinners left and right with different sets of friends, even during weekdays when there is work the following morning. And I shop more impulsively. It would seem that I'm enjoying life right now, and I do and I'm honestly happy. But I was also pretty much content before I was doing any of these things. And I felt more complete then than I do now. I ask some of my friends if it's wrong of me to want to have someone again, when I just came out of a 6-year relationship, barely 6 months ago. Cos that seems so needy to me, haha. But really, it's nice when there's someone at the end of the day to share stories with. Someone who wouldn't tire of listening. For me especially, that is essential. Cos sometimes I have the memory span of a goldfish that I keep forgetting I've already told a particular story about twice, at least. Haha. But even though I'm more daring now, I still can't stand the idea of casually dating or letting friends hook me up with their other friends. I'm still a little traditional about that. Anyhow, except for wanting a significant other, I'm pretty much doing great. And so looking forward to my Boracay trip. 3 days of freedom! | | |
