Of Bonding Sessions And Pugad Baboy

Last Friday, (supposedly) all choir officers had a bonding session at Kuya Eric's mala-resthouse house... a fair number attended, pero the morest the merriest sana!Ü

Lookie lookie...

Before we attacked the food, had a picture-taker-para-maremember muna for docu purposes daw... wahaha!!! yeah, right!Ü

Aba! Walang gustong umupo sa may dining table... ako, keber! I pulled up a chair and ate at the dining table where EVERYTHING is within my reach... YEY!! hahaha!!

Whoelse will follow suit but two of the best people in my life (aaaawwww)... My Koyah, Fr. Chris and op cors, my Eshprehn, Jonah...

Kapwa matatakaw kasi eh!! wakokok!Ü


Nothing is the same without this...

Hindi ko na nga sinama yung mga pics taken with the phone cams... malulula lang kayo sa mga kataran! harharhar!Ü

After eating, more pictures were taken...



And oo nga naman... dahil bonding session 'to, you really get to know people... you even get to discover kinship... warharhar!!! Here's my family... my Pugad Baboy...

marami pa ngang wala dito eh...mga in denial na kasama sila... tulad ni Fr. Chris... Kuya Joel... yadah-yadah-yadah... you know who you are... stand up! take pride! for we are famous you know...

At dahil mokong 'tong si Kuya Joel at dahil pinanindigan ko ang Pugad Baboy... na-evolve tuloy to Pugad Buddha! hyukhyukhyuk!

Kanang kamay at dakilang sugo ko 'yang si Alex... aba! at nag-aalay pa!!! Tingnan nyo nga naman!Ü

In fairness mahirap mag-pose ha! You really need to internalize...

Mag-yoga at manganak ka ba naman ng baboy na ganito kalaki ewan ko na lang!!! hohoho!!!Ü

May bisa din pala talaga yung mga ganitong bonding... maraming naidudulot, in fairness...

AT -- IN FAIRNESS pa rin, I got to meet my KINDRED SPIRIT...


ROCK ON, DUUUUDE!!!
hahaha!!!ÜÜÜ

If Only

My Love Will Show You Everything playing on the background...

If only we have a special someone...
If only we love that special someone with our whole self...
If only we let him/her feel they'reare loved and needed...
If only we make them feel important...
If only we let our love show...
If only we exert effort to do special things for him/her...
If only we care less about the people around and show him/her some affection...
If only we whisper enough sweet nothings in his/her ear...
If only we tell them "I love you" enough number of times...
If only we do these before it's too late...
If only we do these before he/she dies...
If only lang talaga...

pucha... bakit ba kailangan ganun?!?!??!?!

HAAAAAY... damn this movie grabeh! super-mega tear-jerker... just watch it... mapapa-iyak ka na lang... o kaya sa mga taong nagpipigil ng luha sa sinehan (tulad ng kilala ko... wehehehe!Ü), mapapalunok at mapapainom ka na lang ng coke... o kaya sa mga taong ayaw daw manood pero manonood naman pala, mapapa-text na lang kayo ng "Ardi, san ka? toot & I watched If Only. Walang hiya... lumalawa dito!! D kami makatayo... maga mata namin!"... hahaha!Ü

Basta, this is a good outlet for crying your hearts out... hahaha!!!Ü wala kang pake kung umiiyak ka (or humahagulgol for that matter) kasi you're soooo sure na yung katabi, kaharap at nasa likod mo nag-s-sniff-sniff at nagpapahid-pahid na rin ng luha nya... hahaha!Ü

I watched this movie last Monday afternoon with espren Jonah... In the middle of the movie, Jonas gestured to this woman in front of us... sabi nya "Tingnan mo yung girl sa harap natin, umiiyak."... I turned to him, with eyes flowing with tears, and said in between chuckles, "Ako rin kaya..." hahaha!!! we just laughed! pathetic me wekekeke!!! AT nung part na nasa labas ng resto sila and the gwapo guy was pouring his heart out, telling Samantha (Jennifer Love Hewitt) how he loves her and why he loves her, I told Jonah, "Hala, ayaw nang tumigil..." (referring to the tears). Jonah just smiled (and chuckled) and wiped the forever-flowing tears from my eyes... hahaha!!! super pathetic and mababaw-ang-luha me... kinaawan at tinawanan ng bestfriend! wakakaka!!!Ü

Basta MAYGAD!!! WATCH IT! WATCH IT! WATCH IT!

And yeah, this is one of my favorite movies na... (and no, Jonas, not because iniyakan ko 'to... hahahahahaha!!!!!ÜÜÜ)

Take My Heart Back now playing on the background...

Intimate Girltalks

Let's leave it with that name... it's more appropriate... it's more descriptive... it's more specific... and I'm more happy with that... it gives this sense of indescribable closeness...

We had this because some girls just wanna have fun... and wanna smile through tears... and wanna drown aches and pains with gasolina (hahahaha!!!Ü liyaban na!!!)... and wanna build stronger bonds and relations with friends...

You might wanna guess kung sino ang mga girls of the past weekends' nights... hahahaha!!! alin, alin, alin ang naiba? piliin kung alin ang naiba... piliin mabuti, piliin kung alin... piliin kung SINECHUWA ANG MGA BA-BE-BITTER?!?!?!? hahahaha!!!!!ÜÜÜ (I'm sure kumanta kayo... hahaha!!!)

oh well, dahil kantahan naman ang buhay ko kapag weekend... here are the two songs na I somehow relate to these days...

LOVE WILL LEAD YOU BACK

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said, that you’d stay forever
So if you must go
Well, darlin’, I’ll set you free
But I know in time
That we’ll be together
Oh, I won’t try
To stop you now from leaving
Cause in my heart I know

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I’m sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won’t be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back

One of these nights
Well I’ll hear your voice again
You’re gonna say, oh, how much you miss me
You walked out this door
But someday you’ll walk back in
Oh, darling I know
Oh, I know this will be
Sometimes it takes, sometime out on your own now
To find your way back home

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I’m sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won’t be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back

But I won’t try to stop you now from leaving
Cause in my heart I know...oh yeah

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I’m sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won’t be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
It won’t be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back


SAPOL TO THE CORE! hahahaha!!!


ALL BEHIND US NOW

Hey, I'm so sorry
That it didn't work the way that we'd always planned
Hey, I'm so sorry
That you went away and somehow didn't understand

We pretended for so many years,
But now it's time wash away my tears

Cause/And it's all behind us now
Cause we've learned to live somehow without each other
And its easy to see, it ain't never gonna be the same again
And its all behind us now
Cause we found a way to live without each other
And in time we'll have to see
If its ever gonna be that way again
ohh......

Hey, I'm so sorry
That I couldn't find the words that might have made you stay
And hey, it's so funny
How we both can say the same thing in a different way

We pretended for so many years,
But now its over baby and so are my tears

Cause/And it's all behind us now
Cause we've learned to live somehow without each other
And its easy to see, it ain't never gonna be the same again
And its all behind us now
Cause we found a way to live without each other
And in time we'll have to see
If its ever gonna be that way again

I was holdin' out for far too long
But now I finally found where I belong

Cause/And it's all behind us now
Cause we've learned to live somehow without each other
And its easy to see, it ain't never gonna be the same again
And its all behind us now
Cause we found a way to live without each other
And in time we'll have to see
If its ever gonna be that way again

WISH KO LANG kaya ko sabihin 'to... hahaha!!!!

oh well, hinga na lang tayo nang malalim... kaya ko 'to... kaya ko 'to... ako pa! pucha, kaya ko 'to... kinaya ko dati... kakayanin ko pa rin 'to ngayon... pero pag hindi ko na kaya, sana nandyan ka... HAAAAAAAAAYYYYY... ba-be-bitter... ba-be-bitter! hahaha!!!Ü

I Am Beautiful (No Matter What You Say)

Here's the song I'm feeling now...

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

AND REALLY... I am beautiful whatever all the people will say... so don't you freakin' bring me down today or tomorrow or whenever... you're not funny anymore... you're not even cute... and wala ka talagang pake sa long hair ko!

LOUDLY SINGIN' SONGEN' SUNGEN' ::::: anong pake mo sa long hair ko... anong pake mo, hindi ito sa 'yo... anong pake mo sa long hair ko... inggit ka lang (baka) kasi ikaw nakakalbo...
