Mis-Taking One's Advice

i told one of my closest guy friends that the "my best friend's wedding" type of deals are not romantic. why have a deal with your best friend na kung wala pa kayong siginificant other by the time you're 30 or 35, eh kayo na lang magsama. why not magsama na lang now? obviously, gusto nyo ung isa't isa to ever consider that arrangement. if hindi nyo gusto ung isa't isa as partners in life till death do u part, y make such a deal? pag inabutan kayo nung age limit na sinet nyo at ayaw nyo pala, ang mangyayari nyan extend nang extend nang age hanggang umabot ng 80 kasi wala pa rin kayong mahanap!

well, in a way nagtaray ako nung sabihin ko yun. pero guilty din naman ako nyan pala! hehehe. about two weeks ago, i was planning on making a proposal to one of my special friends na pag single pa kami by 35, kami na lang magsama! haller to me! di mo ba nabasa advice mo sa taas emman???

ok, i'll decide na lang on that later. kailangan ko pa kasi isiping mabuti kung gusto ko nang mag-settle down or magpakasaya pa! :p

My American Idol

And there he was, my American Idol, Elliott Yamin, eliminated. Sad! :(

I expected it, actually, after his performances which were just OK. He didn't have a "moment" song unlike Taylor and Kat and unlike his two performances the previous week. And since I expected it, I shouldn't be very sad right now, di ba? Pero haller! He had the most touching video among the three of them. So I'm sad to see him go! And I'm pretty certain that many people out there are sad as well for his exit. I feel that his exit makes people sadder compared to Kat and Taylor going (if they were the ones eliminated).

I don't cry over people getting voted out. Pero, sobrang pinipigilan ko kanina umiyak. Kahit pala si Sue naiiyak! At gusto pang gawing boyfriend si Elliott! Sorry Sue, akin sya! hehehe

Ang lamang lang naman ni Kat and Taylor sa kanya is confidence. But vocally, he's way greater than them both combined! hehehe... Ang maka-Kat at Taylor dyan wag umangal. Ang aangal pangit! :p

Hay. Hay. Hahay. I can't even form my sentences well. Dati napapangitan ako sa kanya pero habang pinapakinggan ko sya kumanta, na-i-in love ako!

Kung ano ano na ang da-da ko dito! Basta, for me, Elliott is the American Idol. Actually, Universal Idol ko sya! Ever!

Sisikat din sya. Sure ako. :)

Elliott Yamin IZ d MAN

yipee!!!! elliott wasn't eliminated! but chris was. :(

i think my last post takes away my credibility as a psychic! i predicted that elliott would be the one to go and that chris would ultimately win american idol! but i was wrong on both predictions. elliott was even in the top 2!!!! gosh!

i don't mind not being credible anymore! what matters is elliott is still IN! he IS really the MAN!!! he should win!

and oh, it really should have been kat to go.

oh well! go ELLIOTT YAMIN! :D

American Idol

i'm depressed. i just watched american idol where MY american idol almost moved me to tears with his first song. elliot is my remaining american idol after patrick hall, david radford, and paris were eliminated.

i'm depressed since i have this great feeling that he'll be eliminated next despite his awesome performance. he was just the best tonight with both his renditions of elvis' songs. the judges were unanimous in giving him praises for his great performance. simon even said that he's the underdog but deserves to stay for the next round. i hope he does.

the remaining four are all talented but it's elliot who has the best voice. he can sing the sentimental songs and make you cry. and for someone like me who doesn't cry easily, with elliot, my gall bladder is near my eyes!

if he's really good and did a great performance, you may ask why i'm worried. it's because the other three are more popular. oh well, i just hope simon is right. and i'm hoping even more that he'll reach the finals. even if i really think that chris will win the competition.

hahay.........

"Orange"

Today
You are the color of the sun
When it peaks at dawn
Much like my hope
Rising ever steadfast
For you

Yes today
You are like the sun
When it twilights to darkness
Much like your look
Getting cold
For me

kaspa (in tagalog: balakubak)

i am in awe

thinking long and hard
about commands and securities
that make me dazed
leading my hand skywards
towards a throbbing head
to scrape away ideas
that confuse this neophyte.

scratching with great fervor
these thoughts that itch
like confusion in winter,
snowflakes fall before me
in this hot equator,
in this hot singapore.

i am in awe!

i look for witnesses
to the ugliness of
snow white particles against
dark fabric, and dust
silently, albeit hurriedly, off
the snowflakes on shoulders,

and place my hand
down to the keyboard
to think once again
ever harder and longer
about commands and securities

where I'm in awe.

i finally have my PC! so update dayon sa blog! hehehe

here's what happened in this so-called life of mine after my last post:

feb 3, 2006 - my now company called me up for the approval of my employment pass... i think i set the record for fastest employment pass approved ever! imagine, i got it in only 3 working days!!! i was informed by HR that it takes two to three weeks! gosh! ang haba ng hair ko... di lang ako panalo sa company, panalo pa ko sa ministry of manpower ng singapore! go emman girl! :p

feb 4, 2006 - 3Ls - laba, luto, limpyo

feb 5, 2006 - barbecue party galore at bullion park with romeo, susan, johnny, shih, lai, bendz, and romeo's friend (dina), my friends (jerrha, maricris, carol, ken), bendz' friends (joyce, boboy), shih's guest of honor (shela), lai's admirer (franco), and sue's guests (hermes, cary)... gosh, ken was so late! and when he came, he was in long-sleeved polo and slacks so i told him "this is a barbecue party and not a ballroom party" hehehe... of course, he just came from church so he changed into another costume... and oh, we had a trumps tournament... joyce and i emerged second after being beaten to death by the ever unbeatable lovers sue and johnny!

feb 6, 2006 - plantsa... kulba galore for the next day

feb 7, 2006 - i was officially ushered into the premises of gemplus as a part of the R&D department... and awestruck i was at how great and blessed i am to be here in this company!!! i was so impressed by the processes, the organization, and the people... and i spotted one cutie right away... hmmm, he reminds me of the first every guy who made tibok my virgin puso! :p

feb 8 - 13, 2006 - contemplating every minute if i should give my heart to someone whose nickname is my all time favorite name in a guy! ang puso ko talaga!

feb 14, 2006 - yes it's valentine's day! i didn't have a date, mind you... but i wasn't sad either, more mind you! :p i went to starhub to open a mobile account under my company's corporate plan! 30% off! yippeee!!! and i got a samsung e360 for only $88! and cutie cutie this one is... the only two things that's lacking to it to make me fully happy are a PC data link (no cable or CD at all) and an external memory expansion slot... nevertheless, the phone is so me!!! small but pretty! :p so i'm very happy!

feb 15, 2006 - wala lang hehehe

feb 16, 2006 - i decided i could not love someone who reminds me of colin farrel! :p i requested a song to a local radio station that i listen to in my phone while working with the following message: "hi! shian here! can i request for the song 'push the button' by the sugababes? it's dedicated to baby ****** who is the nonsense who made sense in my life!" and trulili!!! the DJ read my message on air but he didn't play the song! :(

feb 17, 2006 - i have my PC now!!! yipeee... writing a blog now!!! and just decided that the cutie i saw on my first day at work is the one i'm going to marry because he reminds me of my first love! ang puso ko talaga!

at yan lang naman ang updates sa kin lately... ;)

stomach ache

i think i'm having a stomach ache... yeah at this ungodly hour... it might be because of my cooking... actually, i threw away my original experiment which was a steamed sea bass... wow! what's a sea bass??? pang sosyal! dinhi ra na nako natilawan sa singapore... unya wala syay lami! langsa... or maybe it was because of how i cooked it! si romeo ang ni-unearth sa intestines sa sea bass... and i did the cooking.. i cooked including the scales! eeewww... himo pa kog sauce ala chinese restaurant sauce kuno for steamed fishes... i used water, ginger and oyster sauce for it... it turned out bitter! eeewww... so when susan came home, i presented my experiment and we decided to throw it away... it was that bad! so i cooked chicken nuggets na lang... and i'm wondering if the nuggets were half cooked halfway sa among kaon... hehehe

hahay kapait aning naa ka sa laing nasod... di ka kamao moluto... og wa na kay kuarta! kadugay ba ani akong employer manawag uy... i've been here in singapore since jan 11... jan 12 interview nako... then confident man ko so wala usa ko nag apply apply... then mga 3 days after i just tried submitting my resume to my friend who submitted it to his agent... whola ang lola agent niya kay abtik... gitawgan dayon ko... but two days after, the company that first interviewed me called up and told me not to go to other companies anymore and just wait for their HR to call! and just minutes after, the agent called and set me up for an interview at REUTERS!!!! REUTERS!!! gosh, i turned it down! hehehe... di man ko ganahan og labad na sa ulo for choices and i already liked gemplus (the company that interviewed me on the 12th)... pero hangtud karon wala pa nanawag ang HR sa gemplus! diyos me! manigulang ko dinhi sa balay sa akong amiga... maayo unta og maayo ko moluto!

hahay... hulat lang gihapon.. pasalamat ang gemplus ganahan ko sa ila... hehehe.... so tomorrow i'll be off to the immigration and checkpoints authority to claim my passport... had to have my stay here extended... and then romeo and i will probably go to jurong bird park or the singapore zoo wherever feel namo daghang guapo...

hmm, speaking of guapo... daghan unta cute nisulpot karon... but romeo and i are quite hesistant to kivta kay unsaon man nga naay penal code chuva ning singapura nga makakanta kag "hanggang tingin ka na lang"... otherwise mga priso among beauty of magpabadlong mi diri...

hahay, ingon sila nga mika daw ang life diri sa singapura... unsay mika!!! sa ka-strikto sa ilang policies dinhi, ma ningning imong beauty og huna huna og many things like:
1. how not to break the rules
2. what will happen if rules are broken
3. worst case scenarios
4. best alibis
5. how to break the rules elegantly
6. how to break the rules and not get caught

di va??? maningning ka uy... dili ma-bore imong life kay pirmi ka magkinto!hehehe

anyways, i'm having fun here :) it's fun to see some people's faces here when they see me in my very short shorts or my smoke-colored eyeshadow... hahaha... lingaw pud kog luto luto or experiment experiment... so far, i've been successful with my misua with sardines, misua with ground pork, tocino, tapa, chicken nuggets, fried rice with mix (sa pack), fried rice with garlic and egg, fried rice with oyster sauce, fried rice with thai sweet and spicy sauce.... lami ra man... i love my own you know... though sometimes one's own will give stomach ache

in retrospect

everyone is so into blogging nowadays... (or parang huling huli na ko sa observation na to! hmmm)... every time i visit my blog, i have this urge to write something just to keep it updated... kahit wala akong masulat o di ko feel magsulat, parang kailangan kung may isulat sa blog! pero always panalo ang wala akong sinusulat... tamad lang siguro talaga ako! hehehe... but it's a different tune this time... visiting my blog today makes me want to post something even if i don't know what to write or i don't even feel like writing. iba ung gusto kong mag-post ng something but at the same time i don't feel like writing... hehehe...

anyways, i'm tempted to write about the year 2005 in relation to me! ang daming nangyari sa buhay ko this year that a single blog entry about it would take at least a day and of course will exhaust me to death! hahaha... but since the year hasn't ended pa, i'll defer my storytelling until december 31... or better yet on my birthday, january 1. para may konting drama drama sa entry na yun... best actress kasi ako lagi pag birthday ko kaya better on that day ko na isulat ang aking "in retrospect".

at malay din natin, baka mas maging eventful ang aking buhay this december... baka magkaron ako ng boyfriend na so obsessed with me!!! as i told my friends, sa dinadami-dami ng nangyari sa kin this year, boyfriend na lang ang kulang para kumpleto na ang casting sa drama ng buhay ko!

o sya! ang daldal ko na! baka maisulat ko pa ngayon ang aking lifestory in the year 2005...
