i can be so stupid sometimes. idk if thats stupidity or i just surrendered my stupidity. one day you'll be so close to this person, the next day its as if you don't exist. idk if i did the right thing . . i know that wasn't the best choice but i didn't want to be a hypocrite. maybe its just not meant to be. i hate how i make drama out of everything. i hate how tactless i could get. i hate how i'm so proper with my language that ghetto people misunderstand me. i hate how that could ruin my reputation. you get a bad reputation just because you use the right language. how messed up is that?! do i have to be a ghetto just to fit in? damn this world.

no matter what i do, nothing would change. it wouldn't go back to normal. why do i decide to do things even if i know that i wouldn't be able to handle the consequences?! i miss him soooo bad, its really stressing me out. we haven't really talked-talked for a month already. i just hope i'd emerge from this dilemma stronger than i expect.

i'm starting to go out. usually i'd decline my sister's invite to go clubbing @ nyc but since my dilemma started, i started going out with them! i'm glad i went to stitch with them. thanks to rica pineda also for being ever so persuasive. man, i'm surrounded by sexy ladies . . i better do something. i just started going to the gym, thanks to brau for inspiring me.

its hard being 18 here in the u.s. :s i better get a fake id or something of that sort. my neighbor might give me hers since she's got an extra. bouncers make me so nervous :s its tough being a somebody back home and a nobody here. can't use connections . .

yesterday was just awful. sunday was great and then come monday, disaster! i hate it when that happens. you're thinking everything will start to go your way and suddenly you're down the dumps! i was so hurt with what he did . . i hit him so bad it wasn't even funny . . but that doesn't compare to the pain he has given me. the whole day is a blur to me now. i'm trying to let the pain subside and go on with my life with or without him. i never imagined that i could get hurt this bad. more so, pain coming from him!

~ on the brighter side ~

i got paid last friday. :) i got $105 for my first week. i only have $90 left now. don't know where i spent my money. lol. :) the preaching @ time square church last sunday was just unbelievable. its the first time i got engrossed to the preaching there. he was just soooooo right!

our apartment's full now!! hehe . . it looks like a real home already. thanks to my sister's creative juices! lol! i miss one love!! creative juices!! hehe :) i would love to post pictures here, but we can't connect any digital stuff here in school so i can't.

oh, i got my phone already! :) but the thing is i think i can't activate my mms & the t-zones! damn . . but atleast i got it already. i was so excited that i woke up really early just to be able to go with my sister to new york and get the phone! haha . . :p

so there . . getting spaced out.

2005-02-03T10:24:00.000-08:00

yaix . . haven't visited this for a month!

Spring semester just started last week . . and damn, do i have the hardest teachers!!! this semester is all about reading and writing essays! wtf?! i can't see its relevance. argh.

i just started my new job last tuesday! :) i'm the cashier @ music station. so fun. i work with three other guys but they're old already. lol :) like they're in their twenties. i work 6 days a week, almost 7 hours a day and i get $5 an hour. pretty good right? i hope. :)its pretty tiring though. its like i only get an hour break between my classes and my job. its either i go home and take a quick nap or just eat lunch and go straight to work. when i get home at night, i'm dead tired already, i can't read anymore. but i really try to do my best to read a couple of pages.

tuesday was a great day. :) i played volleyball and i played really well . . been hitting with my lefty like crazy!! lol :) and then after that, my friend walked me to the bus stop but we took a detour first to Asian Palace cause we were really hungry!! i got to talk with him and that was the nicest feeling ever. :) he was so proud of me . . haha. after 6 months of "nothings", i was able to tell him what i needed to tell him. we waited for the bus for like an hour so we got to talk more . . it was just so fun! :) and he told me, i remind him of hello kitty!! wtf?! hehe . . funny though. :)

thanks to LOISE for encouraging me to speak out. haay. if it wasn't for her, i'd still be a post. lol :) thanks loise!! i love you & i miss you too. :)

i can't wait to get my N7610 already!! argh . .i waited for that phone for like 4 months and then when i got it last december, it was locked to Globe. i went to china town in new york but they can't open it. so i had to send it back to the p.i. now its february already, the phone is with my aunt in new york alreay. but the thing is, my sister can't seem to find time to get it from her. they just work a street apart from each other and they can't seem to meet. damn. hope she gets it today. i miss the pictures there!!

other stuff that we asked my mum to buy, they're guna send pa like next week. i'm so excited. :) i so love my mum and dad. :)

ooops . . i'm taking up too much time already. this time was supposed to be spent reading my anatomy & physiology book!! got class in 40 minutes. :)

miss you guys!!

hoboken is still in new jersey, but it's like an extension of new york . . my sister and i fell in love with hoboken the moment we stepped out of the path train . . but, its really expensive there . . so we're trying to look for cheaper rents . . it's a small town, it has everything . . it's like what you see in movies . . they even have their version of the central park. there's also a river there and across it is new york already . . people there are absolutely gorgeous . . =)

today, i met new people also . . they're all filipino guys . . they're in my psychology class. we were dismissed 2 hours before time so we just decided to eat tapsilog somewhere in jersey . . =) even here in the states, i'm still one of the boys . . maybe its my destiny . . haha . . =) and then they were asking me questions , like where i live, my high school in the philippines , etc. and then this guy, dan, told me that he knows somebody from AA . .

after my bio class, i went to the student's lounge to do some reading for my speech class . . we had to read 3 chapters . . so i stayed there until 4 and then went home . .

i woke up late today!! again.. for the second time . . i woke up at 6:45a . . everything was a flash . . i took a bath . . dressed up . . brushed my hair . . grabbed my bag . . grabbedmy umbrella . . and off to the bus stop!! good thing the bus came late . . i reached the school at 7:55a . . still enough time to walk to my psychology class . . so class started . . blabla .. boring . . but its all good. =) at 11a, i was on my way to the student's lounge and wait til my next class . . after a few minutes ofwatching jerry springer, i decided to go to dunkin donuts to buy my lunch .. on my way out, i met AJ . . just said hi. . told me to meet him after i buy my lunch.. i came back and we just chatted for a while . . and then we went up to class . . speech class was ok today . . so interesting . . we have to do this self-introduction speech for next week . . yikes . . so anyway, i went home after class . . might check out our soon-to-be aparment if ever we do like it there . .

My College Life . .

2004-09-02T22:50:00.000-07:00

so far, so good . .

first day:
i woke up at 6:30a. i took a bath and then rushed to the bus stop at 7a. reached jersey city at 7:45a, just enough time to walk to my first class which is biology (anatomy and physiology). my prof's italian . . she's kinda hard to understand because of her accent . . pretty boring . . she just handed out the syllabus and then talked about the class and then started the lesson . . after the class, i went to the admin to give the international students dept my i-20, visa and i-94. i also got my id pic taken . .

My id =)

. . i went to the college bookstore after to check on my books . . and damn! they're uber expensive! Bio = $235 ; Psy = $107.50 ; Speech = $71 ; Writing = $49.75 ; Math = $97.
makes me want to go back to the p.i.! so anyway, i had no money, i just bought 3 notebooks for a $1.99 each.

second day:
i woke up a lil earlier this time. i woke up at 6:20a. rushed to the bus stop again while drinking my bottled frappuccino and then reached jersey city at 7:40. walked to my first class for the day which is Psychology. my teacher, she's uhm.. very .. lively.. but she's nice .. she gave us our syllabus, samples of essays, quizzes,and we did this activity which was uber fun . . =) the class ended at 10:50a. so, i had 1 hour and 10 mins before my next class .. i visited the library .. very ordinary .. and then i just waited at the student's lounge.. sat there and watched tv.. and these guys just approached me and started talking to me.. nice people. =) at 12, i went to my Speech class with my new found friend, AJ .. his major is Criminal Justice .. pretty cool. =) he's good looking too .. haha =p so anyway, speech class.. BORING. i'm pretty nervous also because we have to do 5 speeches this semester.. ohmylord.. so anyway, went home right away cause i felt sleepy.. but when i got home, my brother asked me to buy chicken from the resto near our place.. i met my cousin and his wife there.. they just bought the chicken for me me..times 4! hehe... went home and ate..

First day of college!

earlier this day, i went to the library of my town and just read books there. libs here are cool.. hehe.. looks like i'll be spending most of my free time there.. at about 4p, i went to eat at dunkin donuts.. first and only meal for the day.. i'm trying the one meal a day diet. haha =p after eating, i went home and just surfed the net.

2004-07-22T01:59:00.000-07:00

just got home last sunday!! i was so excited to see my friends that i invited achi over and then we went to iya's house. then we went to katipunan for my haircut and then we just texted some friends we could visit. luckily there were a lot from ateneo who were available.. so we went there and i met up with yani and kat.. and then maxx called, we had to park and meet up with her at xavier hall.. i saw maxie, jaime, sam, kc, therine, regina, jolo, ramlo, denise, dan, mariad, and a whole lot more!! by about 2p, we went to kat's house to chill for a while and then after that we met up with arlyn and gelai at world topps.. it was just so crazy.. we were so noisy!! suddenly, at the back of my mind i was wishing that i could spend college here in the PI. =)

so tuesday, i met up with my friends in UA&P. there i saw jomie, loise, mykka, camille, herbie, kish, & gail. and i stayed there until 8p, and i met alot of people too.. it was uber fun.. camille brought me home.. i missed them sooooo much!! =)

wednesday, i went to katipunan again for a lunch date with my friends.. sasa also went there. after a while, we had to go to ortigas to get my form from BPI. and then we went back to katipunan and chilled at starbucks. unfortunately, sasa had to leave early so i was left in starbucks. i just waited for kat & yani. we went to seattle's best to meet up with denise and then off to shakey's to eat dinner. after dinner, we decided to go to national bookstore to buy some stuff. on our way there, somebody called me and it was toni manahan. he was chilling at chiggy's with his friend mj. i brought kat & denise home first and then went back to chiggy's to chill.. it took me an uber long time to go back because the battery of my car was like loose or something, so i had to ask help from the drivers around. about 8:30p, i was back at chiggy's. it was soooo fun.. my first drinking session here.. haha.. we were talking about their new linggo and how black toni was.. and how their blockmates speak.. people were already looking at us but we just laughed the night away.. haha.. they were influencing me with the kaldereta, kare-kare, adobo and afritada.. haha.. you say that in a slang kind of way.. it was just so funny.. at about 10p, we decided to go home. and since we were all going to the same direction, we decided to convoy. (mj lives in antipolo, toni in cainta, me in marikina) i almost crashed into toni's car because of the taxi beside me!! whew! but we continued shouting "NEW JERSEY PEACE!!" haha!! =)

oh. here's an article from sarah & arlene's blog.. hope you guys don't mind!

Things learned from intergender friendships
by Mariel G. Calalo YOU contributor

THE PREMISE of this article lies on the principle that sometimes, loving a person doesn't mean it has to be romantic and loving a person for the rest of your life doesn't mean you have to end up marrying them. Can a man and a woman just be friends? I'd say yes and they should be.

Hindi dahil kinaibigan ka, liligawan ka na.
Not every guy who befriends you has an ulterior motive. Get over yourself. Don't flatter yourself. There is a reason why he befriended you, but don't automatically assume that it's because he wants to be your so-called boyfriend. If this will be the principle you'll follow every time someone asks you to be his friend, you're gonna miss a great deal from the friendship.

Hindi dahil mabait sa iyo, nililigawan ka na.
There are people who are naturally sweet and kind. There are people who are innately good and no matter how wicked you seem, they just find it so easy to be kind to you. It doesn't mean he is courting you. Don't put yourself through unnecessary stress trying to figure out if he's courting you or not. Because I think if he is, you won't have to guess, you'll know and you'll be very certain about it.

Hindi dahil he talks to you a lot, he loves you na.
You don't befriend a person if you absolutely abhor him, right? Chances are you make sense when he talks to you, or you're probably very patient listening to him. The two of you probably connect on some level but why does it always have to be assumed to be romantic? Being two intelligent, mature human beings, you need to accept that it's nice to share a cup of coffee over a stimulating conversation, and that you don't have to automatically put romantic connotation to it. Relieve yourself of the pressure. It's just coffee and a shared interest.

Hindi dahil cute ang friend mo, crush/love mo na siya.
This is the most amusing thing that hit me lately. People always assume that because your friend is cute or should I say, hot (because cute is a word you describe your high school crush while hot is a word you use to describe a hunk), "lakas amats mo na for repapips!" Let me just say this, at least from my own personal experience, I'm just nearsighted, I haven't gone blind. I can still appreciate God's creation! However, there will always be weird things, crazy things, stupid things that will keep you, believe me, from having a crush on him. First of all, you'd know his history with women, enough to judge what's good for you. Second, don't you just hate it when a guy who's absolutely always put together, who looks intelligent enough pronounces the word country as "kawntri" and the word mango as "meynggo." Call me crazy for judging a person just because he can't pronounce these words right. I admit, I'm crazy.

Hindi dahil you hang out with each other most of the time, you'd end up being boyfriend-girlfriend.
Self-explanatory... There are a thousand, no million different reasons why things don't always turn out that way. There is no one proven formula. For all we know, the reason why he likes hanging out with you is because he likes getting kikay tips from you. He probably plans on being kikay himself and he needs a mentor.

A dinner with a guy friend does not necessarily mean equate to a date.
Especially if you're paying for your share no. Hello? Three things to consider: the place, the topic and how the two of you actually planned to meet. First, how it was planned. If it were a date expect that he would ask you out at least three days before the actual date to give you some lead time, to give you the notion that you are not just a filler on his schedule. Second, the place. If it were a real date, the both of you would want real food and a place where you could really talk things through. Don't go out with a guy to a movie on Friday night if you're really serious about him. Going to a movie is more like treating him like a "filler" just because you had nothing to do on a Friday night so you might as well go out. Topic. Ha! You wouldn't be talking about chikang artista, chikang opisina or argue if the one girl's boobs are real or not. You would be probably talking about sensible, quite personal stuff.

I therefore conclude that platonic relationships are never complicated; people just have tendencies to complicate them.

i woke up at 9a today because i was supposed to go to LA but my mom called and told me to just rest since i have a test tomorrow. so my kuya left without me. so i just read my book and then surfed the net. at 11a, my tito got home and he got us krispy kremes. i ate 2 for breakfast! yay.. calories + calories + calories from all those chocolates and sugar. after eating breakfast, my tita asked me if i wanted to go to ninja lee's place and of course i said yes! so i ran to my room and then texted ninja about her plans for the day and asked her if i could go to their place. so she called me and told me that i could! so by 12p, i was on my way to chula vista with my tito pete and tita gigi. their house is so nice, its so home-y! when i got there, ninja introduced me to her cousin ty-an and then kuya bing was there too. we watched this movie and then after that ninja and i looked for food. i also met her other uncles and cousins. they're all nice.. handsome too! haha hi ninja! and then after awhile, ninja asked me if i wanted to watch TFC, of course i said yes again! haha.. we first saw ASAP fanatics (im really not sure with the title) and thenTHE BUZZ! haha.. ninja and i were so kilig because this was my first time to watch TFC here in the states! and of all the shows that i could watch, it was the buzz. we used to call ninja "krissy".. hehe.. i got the latest chismis.. hehe.. so funny! kuya bing was teasing us that we didn't want to leave the house until we got our chismis! haha.. they're really cute when they speak in tagalog. its all "baluktot:" haha.. funny word.. i got it from Roy. so anyway, we waited for kuya bing and then he brought us to coronado, california. we went to the ferry landing. we went to coldstone first because ninja was craving for some ice cream and then we went to burger king to order some fries. we just sat there for a while. we chatted and joked around.. after a while, we went around to check on the shops and then we bought some star shaped earrings, turtle-shaped pendants, some more cute pendants. hehe kuya bing had to go home so ninja and i just shopped by ourselves. we saw the beach.. took some pictures.. the weather's so nice here in san diego. i'm loving it. thats why i really wana study here!! haha.. so after exhausting ourselves, we just sat down and talked! we had some girl talk.. did some catching up.. shared secrets.. after a few hours, kuya bing picked us up and then we went to amc 12. we were supposed to watch a movie but we decided not to anymore because the movie The Terminal won't start until 10:30p. it was already late so we just decided to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill. we got chicken burritos which i shared with kuya bing and then we ordered some tacos too. ninja just ate 1 because she wasn't into mexican food. we talked about what we're going to do next time and where they're guna bring me next.. it was so nice of them to tour me around san diego! i had the greatest time with them. so at about 10p, they brought me home. i kissed both of them good bye. =)

THANK YOU KUYA BING AND NINJA! TIL NEXT TIME! HEHE! =)
when i got to our unit, my tita asked me about my day.. and she told me to review a little for my test tomorrow. i texted with my mum and told her that i really want it here. she told me that she was in the hospital with my lola (get well soon lola pilar!) cause she wasn't feeling well. i texted ninja too and got all mushy with her.. hehe.. we're now ***soul sisters*** hehe... =)

This is really cute! =)

A LOVE STORY
One pretty summer day at beach you see the most lovely creature you have ever seen. Their name is david , and every move he makes just turns you on more and more. You nudge your best friend sam and say, "Wow, that has to be the most serious body I have ever seen." Suddenly, he looks in your direction and starts walking right towards you!!! he says, "I noticed you staring at me from over there. I just had to tell you, that I think you are so happy , and was wondering if you'd like to go to mountain top with me and walk around ?" With a stupid smile on your face you say, " oh yeah? that's so awesome! " and go with them. When you finally get to mountain top , he moves closer to you, and gives you the biggest kiss ever. The two of you are passionately kissing, when you feel a mall hit you on the back of the head. You open your eyes to find out it's all a dream, but there is a note left next to your bed.

It reads: " david is the love you've been waiting your whole life for. he will ask you out in 12 days or less, but only if you send this e-mail to at least 10 people within the next few minutes. The more people you send it to, the sooner they will ask you out, and you both fall in love. Do not take this lightly, because if you simply ignore this, you will have bad luck in love for the next 12 years!"

Gianne.. Lost and crying in New York

i woke up at 6:30a today, well yesterday, because its already 12:19a here.. so i took a bath and did some last minute packing. i went to new york alone because my sister's not yet ready and i have to meet my cousin. so off i go to new york with my big and heavy bag. i got to the port authority by 9a. so i went to the subway to go to our meeting place.. BUT.. i think my cousin gave me the wrong directions. she told me to ride the E train and go down at 47th.. but it stopped at 50th.. so i went out the subway just to find out that i'm still in manhattan, just blocks away from the port authority and the FDNY telling me that I'M LOST. first time i got lost in new york.. argh.. so i had to walk around new york with my bag.. they told me that i had to go to times square, and take the subway there.. so i walked 8 blocks.. i had to carry my bag all the way down.. so i wandered around the subway looking for the 7 train.. and then this one last escalator i had to ride before reaching the 7 train was BROKEN. that just did it. i broke down.. cried in front of the worker. he told me i had to go back to the street and go down to the other side.. i had to walk up 3 flights of stairs.. but i just can't take it anymore.. tears kept falling.. this man helped me. he told me to just switch bags with him. oh thank you whoever you are.. so i decided not to meet my cousin anymore because it was 10a already.. i rode the taxi to JFK, still crying. my phone wasn't working so i had to borrow the taxi driver's phone.. i know i know.. it's not proper.. but what can a lost girl do.. so i tried calling my cousin but she wasn't answering.. i called my sister and she kinda got irritated because she told me to be on time yada yada yada.. so i called my brother who's in LA. i told him that i'm kinda lost bla bla.. he wasn't able to go back to sleep.. he was so worried.. so anyway, i got to JFK and paid $50 dollars for the taxi.. damn... that's 2500 pesos.. or more.. oh well... as i've said, what can a lost girl do..

Hello San Diego!!

2004-06-19T02:23:00.000-07:00

oh.. fun day for me..

i slept at 5a today because i had a hard time falling asleep.. my sister called me up at 8a to wake me up because i had to.. hehe.. since i slept at my cousin's place, i had to walk back to my aunt's house.. i took a bath and got martin's cellphones and his bag.. i had to meet him at the port authority in new york because he's flying back to the philippines tomorrow.. (wow.. lucky him. ). so i took a bath at 9a, and by 9:30a we were on the bus to ny. we got to the PA pretty early so i went to the hudson news stand to read some magazines.. my cousins got there at about 10:45a. they were rushing cause they had to do a last minute shopping for kat, martin's gf. they went to Serendipity and bought her the frozen hot chocolate but what they got were packets of the frozen hot chocolate! they dont start serving til 11:30a. well i guess it's all good.. it'll be like their bonding time since they haven't seen each other for like 2 weeks.. they'll make it themselves.. i stayed with my aunt & unc at the PA.. i got to bond with my uncle.. he told me about the time he got shot.. funny story.. i was laughing nonstop. and then we ate lunch.. my cousins got back at around 11:20a, so they just bought some food and rushed to the bus. good thing it was still there.

i rode the bus back to secaucus, and when i got home my sister was here already.. i wonder how she got ahead of me.. hmm.. so anyway, ate sunshine called me up at about 1p and invited me to watch garfield with them and the kids. of course i said yes! hehe.. so they picked me up at around 2:30p and then we went to this baby shop and then to the movies. garfield's ok.. for kids.. it was funny.. it was short.. after the movie, we went back to my cousin's place and i ate some sushi we bought from costco.. they went swimming outside and i just stayed inside watching tv. i was really close to the tv.. like 20inches away.. and i watched this show in TBS (i think) its like the 100 Starlicious Makeovers.. and so it got to the #1 makeover.. but you know how they are.. showing more commercials before the final thing.. it was that long that i fell asleep and i didn't get to see the much awaited #1 makeover! damn.. i woke up at 8:30p and they invited me to go to the mall and the state fair. so of course.. i said yes again.. hehe.. we fetched my sister from the other house and then decided to go straight to the fair..

it was like in the movies.. hehe.. i was like a child all over again.. we rode the hammer thing.. the swing thing.. hehe.. don't know what you call them.. and there was this game wherein you pitch the ball towards a target to make the clown drown.. it was really funny cause he was making nasty remarks about the people throwing the balls.. it like ended up as a comedy show or something. we tried some of the games.. it was so expensive.. $5 a game.. i tried once.. i played this basketball game..and yah.. i didn't win anything.. hehe.. my left hand failed me this time.. i'm a good shooter you know? hehe.. kidding.. so maybe i'll talk to david ferrer into coming down here to shoot some hoops.. hehe.. i really want that big doll.. i saw more people my age!! whooppee..

left the fair at around 11:30p and we went to this diner because my cousin was craving for philly cheesesteak.. they brought us home at about 12:30a.

now i'm on the computer again.. checking my email.. blogging. hehe

You are a Healer!(Submissive Extroverted Concrete Feeler)

You are a HEALER (SECF)・caring, good with people, and patient. You are completely selfless and full of love. As a concrete feeler, you do well with your emotions, which are very strong. You understand and appreciate *why* you feel the way you do, and for the most part you're at peace with yourself.

Suffering in the world really pisses you off.

In relationships, it's easy for you to get hurt. Avoid all kinds of dominant (D***) people, *especially* in dating or marriage. You are a motherly figure, even if you're a guy. If you're a girl, make sure you're a mom some day. The world's children need people like you.

On the rare occasions when you try to assert yourself, you're cute and awkward, but highly effective.

shop . . july 4

2004-06-15T22:05:00.000-07:00

i just got home from jersey gardens. shopping again with my cousins.. i just bought jogging pants and shorts from old navy and a bag from tommy hilfiger. it was hella tiring.. we spent about 5 hours there.. at 7:30p, the bus finally came from ny.. we reached the port authority at about 8p and then my cousins and i separated. they rode the subway going to queens and i on the other hand rode the bus going to secaucus, new jersey.

i already have a key to my aunts house!! .. as soon as i got to the door, i heard my nieces laughing and shouting.. they were playing with the newspaper, the chairs.. in other words, it was a disaster! so i just went to "my room" with my sister sleeping inside.. tiptoed toward the computer trying not to wake her up.. checked my email.. my blog..

my kuya called, he was asking me if i wanted to fly home with him since we have the same airline and so that i could see the whole july 4 hullabaloo..

i miss my dad..

i hope i get my I-20 already..

i hope i could go home asap..

cursed trip . .

2004-06-14T00:00:00.000-07:00

i just got home from our bus tour. we went to washington dc, virginia and maryland. it was a 2-day trip. first stop was washington.. we went to the white house, lincoln, jefferson, pentagon, etc. it was nice.. and then we stayed at hilton,maryland. while in the hotel, i was able to talk to tita lily (mom of david ferrer) and then they picked me up. so david was there too.. he was the one driving.. we went to his cousin's house.. just chilled for a while and then they brought me back to the hotel. they were inviting me to stay at their place but i was too shy.. so the next day, i woke up at 6a cause the bus will leave at 7a. we went to shenandoah cavern. it was cool and cold there.. i bought some rocks for souvenir.. went back to dc.. ate lunch there.. then went back to new york. got off china town, ALONE, and went to the port authority so that i could ride the bus back to secaucus,nj. texted tita lily and david. might see them again..

oh.. during the trip, my sister called me up. she told me that my brother, hus in l.a., wants to go back to the philippines on july 5 and that he wants me to go with him.. so i might extend my stay here in the u.s. AGAIN.

oh damn cursed trip..

gaud.. i've been so busy these past few days. i'm following up my requirements so that i could go home already.. i slept at 5a and woke up at 7a today.. i'm so tired but i can't go back to sleep cause i have to go to new york city later. i took a bath and then ate my breakfast and then straight to jersey city to the college i'm applying to. you know what? i'm so smart here. hehe.. so after walking for an hour under the sun, i rode the bus back home. good thing i didn't fall asleep, because the other day i almost missed my stop.. good thing the man in front of me woke me up. while walking, my mom texted me that she just arrived in manila. my dad texted me also that my mum just arrived and that he's persuading my mum to just let me study in the philippines. my dad said that my room and my car will just go to waste if i study here.. and he also told me that i'll enjoy more studying there because i'm still young.. i guess my dad's right.. but i think its too late.. i'm asking them when i could go home.. cause i'm really getting homesick here.. 3 months is awefully a long time to stay here.. what more if i study here?! i just hope that whatever i'm working for now will pay off.. my cousins are here, but they're at atlantic city.. so i'm not enjoying. i hope i could go home really soon. or i could just die now..

welcome!!!
