You are somebody’s reason to smile.

• Probably one of my favorite days for 2012.
• Went to Town with Ate Tinaii. Yep, 2 consecutive bonding days with my favorite Lasallian lady. :>
• She gave me the ring on the right which really made me smile cuz I felt how thoughtful that gift is. By the way, she also gave me the ring on the left last Christmas 2010. Hihihi <3
• Bought a pair of heeled brogues for 200-freaking-pesos in Payless. What. A. Steal. Best buy of the year so far!!!
• Had lunch at McDo. I missed McDo. Haven’t eaten there for a week hehehehe.
• Tried Chatime for the first time! Banana Milk Tea tastes awsm.
• Ate Tinaii bought the Feb issue of Status magazine and she let me tear the pages where Kiefer Ravena was featured. Now I have them posted on my wall. :”>
• Finally saw their mom again :’) I missed her so much, I think I almost teared up after seeing her. Almost. Ahhhh. The feeling is just so…happy. :’)
• Went home and bonded with my sisters. I don’t know why but I was so full of energy. I’d make a lot of jokes and I’m lucky enough to have made them laugh. Hahahahahaha.
• Went to church with the family
• I felt like this day was actually 2 days rolled into one. A lot of things happened! Anyway, I’m so thankful to have been very happy and inspired these past few days. :)

Had a really fun day as I ate lunch with Em and Ate Tinaii in Flaming Wings. It’s so fun to see two of my three favorite Lasallian ladies (the other one’s Ate Crae whom I haven’t seen for almost a year already D’:) agaiiin! Hihi and ‘twas also fun to eat at Flaming Wings. I missed the place, and I seriously missed the food. After that, Ate Tinaii and I went to Tea Stack to try the milk tea there. It was also my first time to visit Agno where I saw Pierce, Stelle, and Hannah. Seeing familiar people in Taft already gives me that much joy cuz I’m alone most of the time in school. So…yeah. Happy day is happy!

It’s already the second of February when I realized I haven’t changed my calendar yet. But then, when I was about to change it, I figured out that someone else has already done it! Whoever did that, she’s sweet. (It’s a “she” because it’s only either one of my sisters, my mom, or my lola who’d do that). Also, I’ve done a lot for my portfolio during this day. Productive!

So I attended a seminar about marketing ourselves effectively to our future jobs. Learned a lot. Yeah. And…free toothpaste and mouthrinse! LOL

I was on my way home when I passed by this stall that sells grilled food. ‘Twas a stolen shot actually. But I liked it. Anyway.

Do I owe anyone an apology for not posting a photo for my Project 366 for the past 6 days? Well, I think I do. I owe an apology to myself. Hehe I was too lazy to upload them here on Tumblr but I never failed to take pictures during the 6 days that I wasn’t posting. Monday was pretty boring, as I was inside my room the whole day again. What made the day special though, is that I was able to eat merienda (afternoon snack) in a very happy way. That’s because my tummy was very happy. This one’s a photo of a maruya; it’s deep fried banana + sugar. I missed eating this so yeah. Anyway. As if anyone cares hahaha.

Though this day started very sad, I can’t really say that it continued all throughout the day. I’m pretty sure it’s Him who made me feel better in the later part of the day and I’m so thankful for that.

Also, today was a day full of future plans. My godfather sent me these chocolates from Singapore which suddenly made me excited about going there. Now, one of my plans before the year ends is for me to get to Singapore and enjoy the awesomeness of that place. And finally meet Wanzhen. (I’ve been dying to meet this online friend of mine!)

During dinner, I was asking my aunt about her expenses for her Singapore trip this February…and that made me think of voicing out my interest in going there. You know, they could consider that as my graduation gift. Hahahaha. If my “parinig” doesn’t work, I might just save up by myself. I should get to Singapore this year. I should.

Yet another unproductive day for me. I went to Town with my cousin and stuffed my tummy with good food. Ate dinner in Bon Chon, had my milk tea fix at Serenitea, and bought lovely red velvet cupcakes from Cukay’s. You know how I feel so guilty when I go out during a weekend? I AM SO FREAKIN’ GUILTY ALL THE TIME. I feel like a bad student for spending a Saturday outside instead of doing my homework. Anyway, to comfort myself, I just thought this is my way of rewarding myself for surviving the emotionally torturing day yesterday. :)

Okay, I can’t help but continue what I was blogging earlier. So we talked in Cafe Noriter, where I had my lunch too. I won’t go into the details but for the sake of blogging and making myself remember what happened on the 27th of January this year, I’ll share some bits of what happened.

Hmmm, let’s see. (I’m seriously thinking right now)…well basically it’s just the say-it-to-my-face version of our online conversations during the past few days. Nothing really added up to my knowledge, except for the fact that he shared “the other side of the story”. He told me some of the things that I wasn’t seeing online, a.k.a. Things Jul Secretly Do. It made me kilig in a way, but I don’t really want to dwell much on that cuz it just makes me hope for something else.

Also, the talk wasn’t very emotional, for he was laughing during our conversation, I don’t know why (add it to the not-very-private feel of the place). There are times when he’d just laugh and then I’ll ask why he’s laughing and he won’t say why. I didn’t find it rude though, so I kinda laughed with him too. Crazy creatures.

Actually, I was more emotional on the way home ‘cause before riding the LRT, we parted ways (even if we were heading to the same place). I felt the loneliness at that time, I needed to wear my sunglasses just so people won’t see that I’m crying. I went straight to the van terminal and was secretly waiting for him to show up, but almost 5 minutes have passed but he still didn’t arrive. But then, a few seconds before the van I was going to ride on arrived, he came. I was missing him so much so I invited him to make singit in the queue of people. So yeah, we ended up going home together. It was happy and sad at the same time - happy, because I got to be beside him and got the chance to look at his face again; sad, because as much as I wanted to hold his hand, I can’t.

He offered me his take-out McDo meal; at first, I declined…but I really wanted to eat fries so I stole a piece of French fries from him. That is all. I was just quiet during the whole trip home. After alighting the vehicle, we had to cross the road. I felt the highschool kilig when he held my arms while crossing……… anyway. So yeah I bid goodbye but then, he hugged me. I can’t help but hug him back. Actually, I think I hugged him tighter and longer than what he expected. Anyway, I didn’t regret anything. I knew it might be the last time so I had to grab the opportunity. And then he said “Mamimiss kita”. That. Just. Triggered. All. The. Tears. In. My. System. To. Come. Out. /dead

P.S. Notice that black thing at the upper right part of the photo? That’s his foot. K.

At last, a progress for my portfolio website. At last, something sensible. Ahh, continue praying for me tomorrow. This day has been a mix of happiness and sadness.
