CONGRATULATIONS TO KYLE DANDAN AND JESSIE AGRA!!!! :D

kyle won gold in singles and bronze in doubles and jessie won silver in doubles at an international juniors competion. :)

I'm so proud of my fellow adidas endorsers.. they constantly inspire me.

Your life is moving from a time of extreme highs and lows to a time of middle-of-the-road smoothness. There will be no dramatic shifts right now, and what happens today will be mostly positive. Having a good life might not be as exciting as having a fabulous, dramatic life -- but you must admit that a good life is better than a bad one, right? Enjoy your life's simple pleasures. After all, if everything were a big drama, you would never be able to truly relax.

--> guess i've been whining so much that God's telling me this. haha well it's true.. i guess instead of feeling so empty i should enjoy my relaxing period. :) besides even if my life's not so interesting at the moment, at least lately i've been hanging out with people who've known me since forever.. i really really miss them. and i'm glad i got to spend time with them again..

anyway besides badminton and school here's what i've been up to lately..
nov24: i cut class to pick up geo and rache to watch basketball at ultra.. super traffic.. :( so we got there on the 4th quarter na. after rache and i went to cafe xocolat near katipunan. it was so difficult to find coz we're not so familiar with the place but we got there in one piece naman. :D anyway cafe xocolat was gooooood!!! plus the company was great.. we hung out with lia and her roommates. it seemed so fun to have a condo with friends. hahaha
nov 25: earl's birthday treat at eastwood.. terriyaki boy then happy feet with my UE barkada.. i miss getting to talk to them.. i hate not being classmates with them in any subject this semester. tsk tsk. anyway there was an event there that night din so we saw a lot of people.. i sortof watched drew dance din.. sayang i didn't get to finish coz our movie was gonna show na. :( but before he performed i went up to greet him and so at least i showed supprt na. hehe
nov 29: another adidas event at embassy.. :) since walang school the next day due to a typhoon we got to bring friends this time. hahaha :) last last wednesday kasi it was just rache and i eh.. haha lame. anyway geo, dex, jdash, and junkay were a fun bunch.. :) hassle nga lang we only got to treat them one free beer each.. we didn't know the stubs they gave us were only till 12 eh.. argh.. anyway i had fun naman even if that's not super my thing. :) dj was good.
dec 1: long but very productive day. :D woke up at 630am coz we had to hear mass at 7 with my gadi relatives.. it's some tradition we do every december 1. anyway after our lola treated us to mcdo. :) there us girls all decided to go to divisoria.. amidst the traffic and the hassle of finding a parking space it was so fun.. super worth it yung pagpunta namin. hehe :) we didn't get to shop with the other people in the other car but it was impossible to find each other din. i just hope they had fun like we did. :) after we went to valle for some photo shoot and interview for inquirer badminton.. after i played badminton with wally, bogie and nash.. my knee didn't hurt naman.. YEY!!! i hope it stays this way.. :) after we went home to get ready for justin's birthday dinner at marina. the abc people were there and i enjoyed hanging out with them.. got to bond with ate alma, mic and a bit of most. kakamiss din. anyway after rache and i went to dia's birthday celebration at intoxica :) fun fun!! even if there was this freaky drunk guy hitting on rache.. pblth.. and i only drank water coz i was driving home that night.. got to bond with my old dlsu classmates. :D anyway good good day. :)

i'm so freakin' emo now and i don't even know why.. i'm serious i've been crying for like the past hour.. :( was fixing some stuff and i came across not even my stuff but rache's old school stuff.. i know, it's a bunch of junk.. but back in fourth year we had to write "passports" during the first meeting of the week of our english class.. basically you put whatever.. you can draw or whatever.. but rache being rache she wrote down stuff about her life.. just like a diary but not so intimate.. anyway while reading it i started to cry.. for many reasons i can't even explain.. 4th year was a really rough year for us but tonight i wish i was back then.. i miss AC.. i miss Mrs. Eala.. i miss being good.. as in doing a good deed everyday.. being as nice as possible to everyone.. i miss the stress of high school.. and its carefreeness.. :( weird. coz i'm not having a sucky life.. nothing like that.. a lot of things are just not going my way.. not like how they always used to be before.. but i'm not regretting a single thing.. i don't know i just want to be young again.. i can't pinpoint why exactly.. *sigh* i just miss so many things.. i miss valle.. i miss having my parents bring me to places and fetch me afterwards.. i miss being close to wally.. i miss DLSU.. i miss receiving monthly checks.. weird as it may be even brye.. i miss eating as much as i want but not gain.. i miss being unbeatable.. i guess i miss the things i know i will never be able to revive.. sometimes i catch myself feeling empty.. weird i'm always on the go and all but i guess being in UE and not really being close close to anyone is an effect of it.. i like it in UE naman.. people are nice and all.. the people are really funny pa pero i don't even get to see my barkada this term.. mostly my fault coz i chose classes that will allow me to train everyday.. i guess UE in general makes me smile but not happy.. but academically i'm very much contented there.. i like the fact that i'm learning.. haha okay i'm gonna stop na, i'm really confusing now.. i guess i just need something for me to look forward to the next day..

this is the reason why i'm never gonna skim board again.. and i'm not walking normally at the moment..

went skimboarding in batangas during the DLSU teambuilding last weekend and had a bad fall.. :( my right knee super hurts now and so i'm not putting weight into it.. i couldn't tell my mom and coach owen about my fall but somehow they heard about it after a few days din. tsk tsk. well besides my fall and the consequence i'll have to face for being absent in NSTP, the teambuilding was great!! everything went really well.. the place was great for a teambuilding and the company was fantastic.. a mixture of weird and funny.. hahaha plus we were all super kulit and game!! i miss being part of a team!! funny.. coz i'm not really part but well it's like they're my teammates still anyway.. i even initiated the rookies.. super laughtrip!! :D so much fun fun memories. :) we'll be back for sure.

horoscope: You are likely to be entering a more detached phase today, where birthday parties are less than interesting, a roller-coaster ride just doesn't seem like much fun, and a tear-jerky movie inspires a yawn. This isn't boredom, and this isn't depression -- you're just feeling less emotional about the world around you. Use this time to reexamine some touchy issues. You'll be able to get a new clarity about what you used to see through a fuzzy, emotional lens.

i can really really relate.. nothing seems to get me excited now.. no motivation to do anything.. i just do things for the sake of getting by each day the way i should.. do well in school, work hard in training.. *sigh* i need inspiration!!! nonetheless, everything happens for a reason right?! in a way this gives me hope.. i'll be on the up side of the wheel of life soon..

two weeks of sem break has gone by in just a blink of an eye.. *sigh* but i had fun naman. :D got to hang out in DLSU again and actually attend classes for rache.. hahaha i super miss it there. *sigh* anyway yonex and toby's were frustrating in an eye opening way.. at least now i know i won't keep winning without training anymore. shux.. but i really wanna get better in badminton.. hence, no more drinking for me and i'll train hard na talaga.. anyway i went to cebu for the first time during the break too.. fun fun fun!! :D enjoyed food-tripping, shopping, touring, kayak-ing, jetski-ing :D oh and my friends and i attended a halloween party there.. it was fun.. met lots of friendly cebuanos. :) in all fairness their costumes were cute. :) anyway that pretty much sums up my sem break.. plus like a karaoke dinner with my DLSU teammates, a surprise party for my grandma and enchong's birthday bash at embassy.. not super eventful but i got to bond with people naman. :) anyway i enrolled today.. finally i'm a scholar na ulit.. yey!! :) i'm d.l. also and so i guess it's pretty much okay that i suck at badminton now. haha anyway gotta prepare my school stuff.. later!

FUN FUN!!! although last na toh!!! i have to train and prepare for yonex na talaga!! that means more training and less going out.. :( *sigh* and not coz of the not going out part but thinking about yonex makes me want to puke.. haha i heard we're up against difficult opponents.. haay!! i suck pa naman!! plus i can't seem to freaking lose weight. argh. oh well. till my next blog.. and i doubt it'll be any time soon.

i haven't really gotten time to post coz of school and badminton so here's a summary of what's been up this october..

October 1: helped LSYC collect money for the milenyo victims.. we were literally making limos.. haha we held up signs tas people would honk their horn tas we'd go to them and get their donation.. amidst sweating, stinking, being exposed to pollution and getting darker it was hella fun! :D saw people i knew drive us by pa.. haha it was so touching when people would donate.. it felt really fulfilling being able to collect like 40k.. whohoo!! :) anyway after that we went to ultra to watch La salle vs. Ateneo football.. :) saw so many people there.. FUN!!! the women's team won.. by A LOT.. but sayang the DLSU men's team lost 1-0.. shux. but i'm proud of my friend gerard who scored the goal for ateneo. =P after since we didn't have electricity parin at home my family and i went to watch step up.. cool movie!! funny tas ang cute nung lead na guy.. hehe my dad liked the movie din nga eh.. hahaha plus the dances were cool.. i wanna move like that.. haha too bad rache and i are frustrated dancers.

(watching football with geo--above : then the ladies team of DLSU--below)

October2: relieved we didn't have an exam in zoology.. didn't really get to study coz we didn't have electricity.. it's true!! i was out the whole day yesterday coz we didn't have electricity at home ;) after class i went to train in taft. still didn't have electricity when i got home.. buti nalang naayos na yung generator. at least i got to study. :)

October 3: chemistry and botany exam.. then at home (finally may kuryente na) i studied for zoology and stat..

October4: trained in taft again after school :) then i watched pat, pao, miggy, karl and erbin's basketball game in GH.. may exam nga ako tomorrow but tinext ako ni pat tas di ako makaNO eh so i ended up watching instead of studying.. anyway they lost by a lot.. haha but i'm so used to watching games wherein the team i root for loses. boo! super malas ko talaga..

(pao, pat and karl playing)

October5: JOEY boy's birthday!! after school played badminton in GBC.. played a lot pero di ko nafeel yung pagod. hahaha got home mga quarter to 12 na.

October 6: slow day in school.. after rache, val and i went to galleria to window shop --hahaha la kasi kameng tatlong pera.. how sad. but our main objective for going was to go to adidas anyway to chose what we want.. ang dami naming nilista.. haha kakahiya! but not like they're gonna give us everything anyway.. oh and our friend said sales for badminton shoes are slow.. so to those who play badminton and are planning to buy new shoes BUY ADIDAS. :) after we went to eat dinner in val's house!!! talk about pigs.. we ATE SO MUCH!!! haha as in i feel 5lbs heavier after.. haha so even if it was like 10pm na rache and i still decided to go play badminton in valle till like mga 12.. haha we were so heavy nga eh.. haha but at least we got to burn a bit of what we ate. :)

end of september highlights

my very first post.. hahaha well since i haven't had electricity for what felt like the longest time i'm once again attached to the computer.. it's almost one and my class is at 7:30am tomorrow. haha considering there are only two weeks left till my first term in UE ends.. tsk tsk so much for WANTING good grades.. anyway i thought of creating this blog thing coz i don't like exposing my life to so many people who aren't really interested.. so i keep multiply posts quite general. in this way those who are interested will have to click the link. hehe

well september ended pretty eventful-ly.. :) besides my never ending exams and my cramming for yonex my weekends were interesting.. i went to watch val's flag football game in xavier even if it was raining.. haha but it was cool coz i knew more people than i thought i would.. plus it was cool to see val in action.. with the game face and all.. hahaha then i went to megamall also for jill's wushu exhibition.. i was late though so i didn't see her. :( sayang the banner i made.. but well it's the effort.. plus i got to talk to jill and andrew for a while din. :D i miss them na. haay.

then there's the milenyo.. almost 6 days without electricty.. kakabaliw din.. at first it was exciting how we'd have to go through days not like the usual.. like not watching tv or using the computer.. not even texting coz i was making tipid my batt in case i don't get the chance to charge and stuff.. i had to detach myself from so much routine and convenience.. which was cool sa start coz like we'd camp at valle verde country club till late at night.. tipong eat, study, exercise, bum, take a bath there kinda camp.. that was fun.. got to hang out in valle the way we used to growing up.. kakamiss din yung food and yung people.. hehe but after a while nakakabaliw having no electricity.. like no cold water in the fridge.. tas didn't get to study for my tests.. plus no communication with people pa.. no signal and all.. so much ruined plans tuloy.. boo. but in the positive side i got to spend so much time with my family..

anyway to end the month we (mich, rache and i) went to wally's birthday celebration at nuvo, greenbelt.. it's the first time the three of us got to go out drinking.. it was fun naman. :D saw old teammates din.. cool nga how we've all grown up eh.. i mean we used to play taguan lang in valle before.. haha plus drinking with the RP teams fun too.. kulit nila eh. hehe
