mall? what mall?

tita wen, mummy and tita susie convinced me to do this talk for the santa cruzan thing. i'm supposed to give the welcoming remarks.the theme of this event if filipiniana. i am about to say no. but mum called me and said all these things, that since i did not want to be reina elena for that santacruzan anyway, i should agree with what tita wen was asking for, blah blah blah,, till i finally said yes.

my two titas improvised something so that i could have this filipiniana top with my floral skirt. and with that make shift kimona thing, i had to buy a tube top(as the sando-it calls for a tube top since it's off shoulder) and a strapless bra since i did not brought mine with me. that lead me to gaisano, the mall here in roxas.

so i bought all the stuff i need. you know what the problem is?? IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A FRIGGIN'MALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! have you ever been to a mall where you have to check your items with the sales girl there assigned to wherever you got ths stuff and THEN that's when you go to the cashier???????????? have you ever been in a mall where paying for your 5 item stuff took the whole 5 minutes of your time?????? it was REALLY stupid!!!!!! teh service is so sloW!!!!!! everything was 3x worst than a mall filled with people in a sale there in makati. darn! it's really irritating!!!!

i got out of teh department store and i went into broadway gems and bought some hair accessories. tehre's this old lady who keeps on cutting the line. i asked her properly not to do that and she even snubbed me!!! the nerve!!! she keeps pushing her way to the counter! ANG TARAY TARAY PA!!! BUTI SANA KUNG MAGANDA!!!!!! EH HINDI NAMAN!!!!!! ANG ITIM ITIM!!!!!!!!!! ANG PANGIT PANGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn!!!!!!!!!!

that's the mall they we're so proud of in roxas?? better change their standards. kakainis tlga ang pamamalakad ng mall na yun!!!!!! the attendants did not even bother to helP!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a plane ride alone

I am finally here at my lola’s place in Capiz. The laptop’s with me, so there are now, ZERO chances of getting bored. I got technology with me. This ROCKS.

Anyway, I made this deal with Paolo that we should both wake up at 3am today. Me because of my flight and him as a dare. Well, Pao didn’t do it naman. =( I was expecting him so much. Anyway, I guess, Pao is really Pao. Whatever happens. How much may I hate it.

REGARDING THE TRIP:

Being in the airport was nothing different with being with the family. I liked being alone better. Why? Independence. It rocks.

Out of the adventures that could possibly happen there, I was expecting to have excess baggage. Mom anticipated it already and I was actually excited of having excess baggage. Sadly, I did not. Hmph! But that’s alright. Waiting for the boarding was BORING. I saw this cute guy too. Typical people I like. Introductions? None. I have not the guts.

Plane ride?? Nothing interesting. Pinaka interesting doon eh yung stewardess na lalake. Ganoon ka boring ang flight pag magisa. I was imagining being there with the gang, and as I compare reality with imagination, the latter definitely won.

---000---

Being back here is like being in one of those most sought after resorts. Tranquil, homey, realaxing and of course, minus the high payment. Lola’s house really rocks. Having the room to myself is the best. Mom is not here yet, so until Tuesday, I am the freest person you’ll know.

This vacation’s really weird though. While everybody else is getting ready for school, I am just starting my vacation. Weird means unique so that really makes the whole set-up fun. astig nga eh. i spent the whole afternoon just chatting. i started right after lola slept. ;)

till later!

what the....

to hell with weather. it gets worse and worse each day. god!!!!

anyway, i will be in capiz for one week. from may 29 to june 5. i want to go to the beach at sunset. i just wish i'd be able to drive by then. =) maybe eve, uhm... enjoy a date??? hahaha. sana nga. kaya lang it looks like i'll be leaving teh person i wanna be with on that date here. hay. =(

"one night meant nothing. you can forever hide in the shadows of fun. but look behind the curtain in the stage. you'd see nothing. one night meant nothing"

jamie and i had another one of our prom reviews. i fimally realized.. taht maybe... just maybe.. that night had been a disaster... somehow... in each and every one of us.. it held something we all did not have.. another one of the disappointed situations.. no one had aperfect night.. i'm sure of that...


anyway....

starwars. allan said the movie plot wwas bad. well, whatever it is, i liked the movie. fight scenes were okay. and everything was cute. it is the much awaited movie of the year, apparently. why??? every freakin' cinema in greenbelt 3 showed NOTHING ELSE but STAR WARS 3. obi wan kenobi (played by ewan mc gregor) was cute in an odd sort of way. even master yoda. hehehe. my tastes now a days are pretty eclectic. WEIRD!!!!!!!!!

jamie anne!!!!

mama jam, thanks for the cd!!!! i ahd a great compilation in taht one. weird combo. operatic music to rock. san ka pa?? teh beuty pf burned cd's!! yeah!!!!

going abck to cavite.. maybe, meeting elias again. looking forward.. why?? i had proven he is human. he got flaws.

thanks to mummy, i found out about he's OOZING self confidence. he apparently, has all this hang ups in life, ang mummy even reminded me, "i don;t want anybody like him who has all these hang ups steph. find somebody else", HAH!! as if. she's geting way ahead of the story. and yeah, i want somebody else. long before elias came, i had wanted somebody else. elias? is a friend. period.


sunset.. beaches.. short skirts.. everything else...
that's capiz! that's vcation.

=D

MOMMY AND DADDY!

another public acknowldegemnt

i just want people to know how great my parents has been. i met quiet a number of people in my 15 year life in the world. i also had chances on getting to know them better. as i did that, i came to realize how great both my parents had been. well, it is because of them that i am now what you see today. i do have my flaws. i know that. but what i am here for is to thank Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Encarnacion no what i am enjoying now.

i know, sometimes, things could go rough. everything falls apart, and our family's not perfect, but i am most grateful that god gave me you guys as parents. for everything i have right now, and for everything i am now enjoying, it's the both of you that has to be credited.

thank you for trusting in me. for all the gals i had been on, for knowing i say the truth. for accepting my shortcomings and for accepting me even when i sometimes fail you.

i just want to thanks you guys for just accepting me as me and not wanting me to abe anybody else.

thanks!
i love you mom and dad!

insomnia and my music

last blog, i was wake until about 2am of may 15. actually, that "insomnia" thing stayed until about 4:30am. and maybe, if i hadn't "intended" to close my eyes, god knows up to what time i may be awake. all was set for my attempt in sleeping. eyes are closed, tv is on sleep mode and my brother has stopped snoring. then, i don't know, i lost my conscious state. and then i snapped back to the real man's world. at about five hours later. damn! i wasn't suppose to wake until another five hours later, but my well deserved sleep (or at least i think it is) was cut to half by my dearly beloved mummy. she called my cellphone (and i was not able to turn it into the sleeping mode), the darn thing sounded like a damned siren, woke me up (only me. WHY DID IT NOT WOKE MY BROTHER INSTEAD!!!!!!!!) and grudgingly, eyes all closed, i talked to my dearly beloved mummy. she wants my brother and me dressed and ready to go to the banks when she arrive home. i stood up (till eyes closed, went to the bathroom and slept there for about 20 minutes. then i turned the shower on. it splurted really cold water which woke me up. so i guess, instead of cursing the shower, i got to thank it still.

so, we went to makati, went to the banks, got my atm card (which apparently has limited use since mummy refuses to go with my "i'll-spend-all-i-can" flow). we went to greenbelt, ate @ krokodile. i saw ampie there. and i just to comment, AMPARO! ANG SEXY NG DAMIT HA!! HALTER!! NAKS!!! hehehe.. =)) the best part was when mummy dearest had to go to music one to see some cd's she needed for her office work. there, i got hooked on liz phair, missy higgins and joss stone. somebody please buy me a cd of any of the artists! hehehe.. =) i also got the chance to listen to three doors down, and to somebody named jack johnson. i am not sure if i got the anme right, but he is the singer of the single "sitting, waiting, wishing" or something like that. i stand corrected. so do react about that. all on original cd's. i'm tempted to buy. but what's temptation when you got no bread? so, i went home sad since i got nothing, but happy since i was able to save.

liz phair sounds nice. but i think some people will actually be shocked with her lyrics. she's a bit blunt, she'll say whatever she wants or at least feels like saying. but i liked the melody of her song though. my current fave is "why can't i" (click on the link for the lyrics) it is that song i heard @ princess diaries 2 and how to deal. that is the song i had been searching for months but i end up getting nothing since i do not know the title. i got to stumble upon it by chance when i had the wrong cd played at the listening station.

getting better @ "THE THING" today. it is actually the shoes. everything is better when i am on rubber shoes. sandals mess the footwork in driving. i went to LTO in Imus. got my what i ahd been waking up early for. surprising thing, as i was walking to the part where i was suppose to wait for jeeps, i passed by "somebody's" dad. i don't know if, "somebody's" dad recognized me though. it'd be better if he did not. hehehe. sometimes, family ties get me all nervous. you never know with parents.

it was fiesta yesterday at capiz. i know lola had lechon. i'm envious. but lunch @ krokodile was great. ok na 'yon. calories ang lechon.

haven't eaten breakfast and lunch. i'll get ulcer with what i am doing.

late night tv

it's 2am.. i am still awake. i cannot sleep. nothing's good is on on the tv. and i am actually wishing the phone would ring right now and i would be talking to somebody. as in anybody. jamie, lorraine, shena, allan, teresa, whoever! i just am not ready to sleep yet. it's as if it's still morning for my body clock. my system's really weird lately. i don't know why it's like that now.

silence is killing me!!!!!!!!!! i guess here is what johanna means by "silence kills" in her friendster blog. i want to hear noise! i want to have a party here right now. i want to do something wild! something totally unusual. well of course, that is totally impossible! my friends and i are still on the teenage life. we cannot go out on thses times. i'm guessing everyone is now fast asleep, on their way to dream land. while i, on the other hand, am alone right now and actually waiting by the YM and the phone wishing it would ring. yuck. i am so pathetic. i am sounding pathetic. this means trouble.

i am actually thinking about this particular guy. no, my dear readers. he's actually someone you never linked to me before. somebody you never thought of. hehehe. =) i think he's really interesting. interest sends sparks, sparks could send fireworks. and possibly even more. but i am definitely not that into him. interesting lang. loyal ako noh! =P

well, i am getting bored, guess i'll go back to the tv again. find something interesting on tv. i'll leave this all for the mean time. anyway, just feel free to comment on anything here ok guys?

till then.

public acknowledgment

i would just like to thank my dear birdie on the mag he gave me. that was really sweet and thoughtful, thank you very much. you indeed made my day. thanks for the messgae. kaakasar ka nga lang, medyo binaboy mo ung mag!!!! sabihin ba daw na mas guapo ka sa model ng jag!!! hahaha!!!

but since you are my friend, and you did gave the mag, pagbibigyan kita!

ANYWAYS< SALAMAT TLGA!!!!

being materialistic and penniless

money makes the world go around. i'd be a total hypocrite if i was to deny that i am materialistic. i do admit that i am happier when i have money from my daily allowance than on days when i am living so frugally after spending all the cash. money is means power and it can actually save. imagine this. had there been a romance where tehre are no chocolates, flowers, romantic getaways and those expensive diamond and pearl jewelries? can a family be called happy if they cannot even make both ends meet? would you live without paying your bills? will you be even reading this or even i, making this blog, without money? the point is that, whether you accept it or not, money means power. even children do realize that. toys, clothes, trips to their grandparents' hometown are never possible without money.without money, it is almost impossible to have fun.


like every teenager you see, i do enjoy having cash. i can enjoy on gimiks, plan parties for my friends and maintain this lifestyle with money. surely. it is not everything though. it is only power but not everything. that had been proven by my rendezvous yesterday.

jamie, naureen and i went out to look for a party rental place. as we were walking nnear teh church already, we saw this libreng sakay for robinsons imus. take note. it is libre. it's actually free. after much hesitation and yayaan tita nau and i managed to convince jamie to go to robinsons. kuya driver was actually realluy nice about our inquiries. jam was nervous about what we were doing. we spent an hour and 45 minutes there. just window shopping, trying on some stuff. it was really great. at 4 45, we saw kuya dirver again. he's really friendly kasi snagreact pa siya an on time daw kami. then these two ladies whow was with us were also really friendly. kuya driver even said as we were about to leave that we should also go to back again yesterday. we got back at talipapa about 5pm. we went to paolo's. there we ate mangoes as merienda. super enjoy! =) paolo went with us to my house and then to jamie's and tita nau's, to teresa'a and then pao and i stayed at sv for about 5 minutes because we were listening to joe d mango's portion in the radio. paolo's reaction was really cute, he was going all, "aawwww" and "sweeeetttt". =)

i had such a fun time with my friends. without even spending a single peso.
sometimes, you just have to have spontaneity in your lives. it's needed because it adds such fun and spice to the lives of us people.

as the old cliche goes, kahit walang pera ang importante, magkakasama tayo.

thanks for such a fabulous time guys! :)

it's the bisperas for pontevedra's fiesta. i miss the house there so much. i hope, maybe next summer, i'll be goingback there agin and spend fiesta in true blue pontevedra style. that means disco, food, and games. even maybe people. interesting guys. you get the point! ;-)

you and me

You and me
And all of the people
And nothing to do
And nothing to lose
Coz it’s you and me
And all of the people
And I don’t know why
I can’t take my eyes off of you
(You and me -- Lifehouse)

Well, I finally got to listen to that song completely. What’s so special with that? Well, I heard its chorus part last Monday night at MTV and I was absolutely thrilled with the melody of the song. I didn’t get to finish it though. Thanks to that pesky little brother I have. Then the following morning, I heard Jamie sing the song repeatedly; again, only the chorus part. Then she said that the song was for me (daw ha!) dedicated by this someone special. Wow. Talk about coincidence! Then this morning, I finally go to listen to the whole song. There’s this line there that says something like everything she does is beautiful, everything she does is right. Well, if the dedication is true, I’m really flattered. Thanks again to that special someone. **blush**

Well, what’s up with me?

My brother’s not here! Thank God!! He went to Baliuag for the annual fiesta which was celebrated yesterday (May 4). I did not go with him though. I had a perfect excuse thanks to Upcat review. He called me yesterday and made me talk with all of my titas. They were all asking the same thing. Why did I not go? UPCAT! Then they even teased me by saying that I did not go because of a date. Hah! As if! And talk about timing. My dear brother called me in the middle of the exam we were taking. Good thing I was already finished. If not, my phone would have made a really big scene.

What else? Well, I have a gimmick tomorrow with the barkada.

Reasons for the gala:

1.celebration for the end of the UPCAT
2.reason to have lunch with Sir Nikolai
3.be with each other’s company in a mall (we haven’t been in one as a group for like the longest time)
4.spend our money on movies
5.have our pictures taken together
6.(probably the real reason) to have a blast and other really mushy moments (if ever)

As we invited Sir Nikolai to lunch on Friday, the excuse we gave him wa sit was a celebration for the end of UPCAT. Lame. But anyway, it worked. He agreed and we’ll be having lunch with our cutie and hottie prof. Well! Talk about luck!
I still don’t have a confirming yes about Paolo’s attendance though. I called him yesterday and he told me that the sched for the gala could actually conflict with this event they had on their church. I told him to call me before the night ends. He did not. Paolo talaga! Kahit kalian! Basta pagdating sa deadline walang sinusunod.

Mental note: Call Shena.

------------00000000000------------------

The house is really quiet these days because of the absence of my dear brother. Buti naman at natatahimik na ang buhay sa bahay. I swear! Everything is so different without him. Our ref looks a lot better, the house is a lot cleaner. Best news? Walang nangungulit sa akin. There’s nobody that makes my life his business. This is pretty short lived though. He’ll be home Sunday. Well, at least I got to experience it.

I had a fabulous time with mom last Monday at the mall. Perfect pair of shoes! Expensive though. But, what do you expect? Anyway, I only buy shoes once in a while. I guess self indulgence is something someone needs once in awhile. I needed this. I guess I also have to reward things. Kahit yung maliliit lang na bagay.
