I just realized that the time I'll leave Dallas will mean I only have a MONTH away from my birthday. Now I don't know whether to be happy and excited OR excited and scared. My God, I'll be 27 by then at sabi nga ni Ice start na daw yung ng "late 20's" Di ba 28 pa? huhuhuhu BWISET. But as much asI hate it i don't have a choice don't I? Oh well.

So it's almost midnight here. I'm still up. Oh well so much for getting more sleep this week. It's like every single day we (Marce and I) have dinner plans with everybody! ahahaha I'm alright here friends. It's just that I can touch my phone anymore because I'm at P5200 now and I've the phone for just a week!!! hehehe I should've listened to Jemai. Dang!

Umuulan pa ng malakas ngayon todo na ang mga warning ng tornados at flash flood nakakapraning. Super. But thank God we're fine here so don't worry.

A lot would find this really weird but I really miss home :( There's no place like it. Swear.

:P

In the City

Hello people!!! Guess where I'm at? hehehe Kahit ako hindi makapaniwala. I'm in NYC baby!!! Oh well, so many things to do but seriosly, so liiiitle time. Sayang I'm only here for less than two days lang and shempre bitin. Hay. Oh well but I'm still thankful though. Nakita ko si Mia dahil 3 years ko na yun hindi nakita. My Aunt Nene and Kuya Robert whom I've never met ever and My Tito Jim and Eddie and my ever dearest Lola whom I've never seen for 13 years!!! I'm so happy to see all of them. Masaya tumira dito inferness. Wag na kaya akong umuwi? ahahaha Joke lang.

I arrived yesterday at exactly 11am EST and my aunt and kuya picked me up. They drove me around Manhattan and catched up. I love this place more than Dallas, no offense. hahaha Well except for LAN Support which is obviously not anywhere here in NY.hehehe Anyway, so I've seen some places and of course took pictures. Nice weather by the way! Ang swerte ko nga daw kasi maganda ang weather. Totoo. Mas tolerable yung lamig plus may araw so there. Gala-gala. My aunt take me to her store down at the Chelsea Ave. Nice. When we got there I met her hubby, Uncle Pete who's a photographer! So we talked a lot about photography and cameras and stuff. Sayang talaga hindi ako magtatagal.

Then we went to this place where there's a lot of Filipino restaurants and bought some Filipino food. Lerka, ang mahal ng Lucky me pancit canton dito ha, $2.00 isa haller. hahahah Kung alam ko lang na mahilig sila sa ganun nagdala ako at nagbenta. Anyway, we arrived in their place around 2.30pm na and stayed saglit till 4.00pm. Tapos I met with Mia na! It's nice to see an old friend. She's like our highschool bestfriend and seeing her in a foreign country is such a beautiful thing. Nakakapanlait kami in tagalog habang sinusuyod ang buong Manhattan. And when I say sinusuyod, I mean literally walking from one block to the other. We started at 32nd ave and ended in 60th!!! hahahaha Hindi na namin napansin ang oras at pagod. I took some pictures shempre kaso night version ngayon. I have no time to ramdam my pagod last night hehehe. We walked around and been to shempre those places any NY tourist would want to go to, except for Empire State building kasi sarado na sha for tourist sa gabi. I think we ate dinner 11.00pm na. Kakalakad. unfortunately wala kami mashadong picture together at alam nio naman si bubuy kung gano kabigat. ehehe plus most pictures don't include me on it. Oh well.

Balak ko, maaga ako gigising today kasi I'm leaving din mamayang gabi, uwe na ko sa Dallas (syet). But noooooo 2.30ish pm na ko nagising with a splitting head and body ahce! I swear I feel swollen and tired!!! Non-stop ako since the time I got to the US. And then tomorrow I got to work again. Haaaay. Hindi na ko napashal ng Manhattan to see it during daytime. Oh well may next time pa naman (SANAAAAAAAA).

I'm all packed now and ready to go in a couple of hours. I'm gonna miss this place.

PS: Picutres will be uploaded as soon as I'm back at the hotel. =P

First Friday Night in the Lone Star State

OMG! I can't believe that I'm going to NYC!!! Well, actually may sakit talaga ako ngayon. I have colds and my right foot is acting up eversince lunch... maybe it's the tuna sandwich I had at Pot Belly. Man, those sandwiches are gooooood. Promises. Well ayun na nga so there. I was told by every single person to take meds na kasi nga naman first weekend ko dito sa US tapos may sakit ako. It's just that it's really freakin' cold here. Natatawa sa 'kin mga boss ko kasi the weather daw is nice pa, well sabi ko try living in the Philippines and you'll get what I'm sayin! Or lamigin lang talaga ko. Plus eversince I got super sick last Novemeber, my immune system has just been low, low. Hay.

So anyway, it's my first Friday night here and I'm in the hotel doing absolutely nothing. I'm watching TV while writing on here and chatting with whoever says hi to me in YM. I haven't even packed yet. hahaha And my shuttle will pick me up in like 7 hours! Oh well, later na yun. I was supposed to watch a concert with Marcela and her two other friends, Luis and Carrie. But then I felt that I needed to rest because my foot is really starting to grow big again... stupid gout attacks! Grrrr. Plus hectic sa office. Inferness MJ was telling me na lax lang daw and I wouldn't feel like workong but noooooo. Maybe because when he went here hindi naman sha nagtraining, eh well implementation account pa 'tong training here so apart from the training we have to attend all these meetings and meet people and stuff. Sobrang hectic din talaga. Hay so this is my chance to get away from it all and spend time with my family in NY and see my highschool friend, MIA!!!!

We talked on the phone pala kanina and it's so weird na we just have an hour difference from each other. But it feels nice. Dang! I only have less than two days in NY. Pero ok na rin at least I can go there and take pictures!!!!! OMGosh. Nagtataka siguro kayo kung bakit ala pa din akong pinopost na pictures. Kasi naman nahihiya akong ilabas dahil super mukha akong turista hahahaha Plus I stay in the training room the whole day I don't have time. Pero basta one of these days magpipicture ako sa office. We have a nice office here in full ferness. Chaka si CRAS pipicturan ko promises. I need time lang. hahahaha

Oh well, I hope makarating ako dun ng matiwasay. :P Wish me luck.

And in case you're wondering... wala pa kong major booboo. hahahaha

Friendster Horoscope for April 18, 2008!!!

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 21)[?]

The Bottom Line

Stop reading books to figure out what to do in romance. Your heart already knows.

In Detail

Long ago you stopped believing that if you stepped on a crack you'd break your mother's back -- or that opening an umbrella indoors was going to bring bad luck. So why are you holding on to old superstitions about romance? There are no tricks to pull or mistakes to avoid -- all you need to do is communicate your feelings clearly and calmly. Stop playing games and reading books to know what to do. Your heart knows what to do, so you should start listening to it.

-- OMG! So this is it! Hahahaha Syet. Hmmm. Sundin ko kaya 'to?! ahahaha Lagot sakin talaga 'tong laptop na ito! ahahahahaha Can I just say na KINIKILIG AKO??! I think I just did! hihihihi

Parang umaarte lang.

You know how it is when you really, really, really like someone??!!! As in really, really, really? ahahaha It's when your palm sweats when the person is around, or when you can't stop smiling just at the thought of the person, when you suddenly feel blood rush through your head because he's just at the other room, when you can't say anything -- as in anything when you see the person in the elevator, when you do all these stupid things then you panic because this person is super near you, when you suddenly become 25.5 times more clumsy around this person, when you just barge into the pantry to get coffee even if you just had one just to check this person at his work post or when you can't stop talking about this person all day... Haaaaaay. Todo na ito.

Ganyan. Ganyan ang nafeefeel ko. haaaaaaay. Saglit lang ang picture syet ginagather ko pa lahat ng courage ko. Dapat perfect eh. I still have more than 2 weeks. hihihi Baby steps. Yung ym muna kukunin ko. hahahahahaha Paano? Well, madali lang naman sirain ang laptop at tumawag sa LAN Support. ahehehe Choz. Joke lang. Basta bahala na. Syet.

Sigh.

May cras ako sa office!!!!!!! Haaaay. Omg. Yun lang. A LAN support something. Gusto ko nga ibato 'tong laptop ko para masira tapos lagi nia akong tutulungan. hehehehe Picture? Sige wait lang kayo, oki? hehehe

Radisson Hotel Central Dallas

6060 North Central Expressway, Dallas, Texas 75206

It's a nice hotel. Not so shabby though, or maybe nageexpect lang ako ng todo-todo. hahaha I mean I've been to a few hotels back home and Shang is one of the best, not that I stayed there or anything but I had the chance to see it, and boy it was beautiful. Well Radisson is good too but not as good as I thought it would be. hehehe Oh well. Here are some pictures of the hotel and my room. Yipeeeeee! hehehe I have taken these yesterday when Marcela and I arrived. I am living the life man! AHAHAHAHA lovin' it!

This is my room. RM 324

See the show on tv?! Gossip Girl baby!!! ahahaha

And lastly, lovely bathroom pictures... I'm keeping it as neat and dry as possible. hahaha

And oh, my kikay stuff. hahaha As if.

I promise to take as many pictures as soon as I am back on my feet around here. Promise baduy ako ngayon at KJ kasi pagod pa talaga ako sobra. And wala yung taga pilit na bumangon ako at nagsasabi na wag akong tatamad tamad. hahaha

Till next!

Mabuhay Texas! =P

It is sooo hard to upload pictures and I hate it! Kainis. hehehe Oh well, I don't even have that many pictures since pagod pa ko from byahe tapos bigat ng camera ko. hahaha Tapos late na ko kanina sa training class ko naiwan ko good grief! Oh well babawi ako. hehehe

So far, so good. People in the PFS office are nice to me. And so are the people here at the hotel too. I haven't been out that much pero I'm planning to do a lot of good stuff here. Marcela and Erik are the ones who makes the plans for me and man they love to eat! So lahat ng na-lose ko (na hindi naman karamihan... hahahaha) are gained again -- I think. Here's my first meal when I arrived yesterday! Yummmmm.

It's a chicken burrito with mild and medium chili, cheese and corn. I had to ask to put it in a bowl coz I know I would have a hard time eating it. hahaha It's one Marcela's favorite Mexican restaurants here and believe me, she has a loooooot! Saraaaaaap. Kaso hindi ko naubos sa dami. hahaha

Then after eating we met up with her friends, Bellina and Ashton because they wanted to check out this house they are planning to buy. I took a few pictures of it, well actually I took pictures of the surroundings and a lil bit of the interior and not the house mismo. hehehe here they are...

Those pictures are taken around 7:00PM imagine that. Ang liwanag pa rin. hehehe Nakakaloka. Oh well, it was nice. Ang ganda noh? Hay I wish I can buy my own house like this someday. And by the looks of the pictures I know you can tell that it has a good neighborhood. Very homey. Then after going here, Marcela took me to WALMART!!! hahaha I mean I know my US trip isn't complete without a trip to walmart so there. We went grocery shopping and over spent on sweets and stuff. hahaha Marcela took a picture of me looking very, very tired. hahaha so eeeew.

Not so fab, a few hours off the plane, no shower no nothing! hahaha kadiri. And I don't know if you can tell pero jusko mamamatay na ko sa lamig nian. PROMISE. hahaha And what's more obvious is that ang negra negra ko na naman. hahahaha

So this is it for now until I figure out how to upload pictures easily. Again my good for nothing laptop is not giving me the best service so far. hahaha Till next!

xoxo,

S

Dizizit!!!

This is it! i'm finally here.

I miss everyone back home. Totoo.

So far, so good. Op cors may mga picture kaya lang I'm too tired to wait for it to upload plus my good for nothing office issued laptop isn't working. I should've brought my own, kaasar. Oh well, it's 10.30PM here and I need to get up early to go to work at 8.00AM. Goodluck to me. I am so friggin' tired.

Bye for now! Pictures to be posted soon!

Mabuhay! hehehehe
