I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth this morning and found a few black ants on my toothbrush. Does that mean I have a sweet tooth?
Was talking to my mom and was giving her the address of the site where I uploaded the Boracay pictures. She says, "ano? dot net yung huli?" I said, "Yup, dot net, hindi dot com". And she replies, "as in dot na period?". I said yes and laughed my ass off.
Me to my friend Gibs while we were having coffee in Starbucks last Wednesday: To wait or to date? Gibs: LIVE.
While having dinner with Aina last Thursday, Aina: Bunny, when will you get married kaya? Me: I think I'll be 32 and we'll still be having this conversation.
I know that there's a few more I want to post, just cant't remember them right now. I'm leaving for Gen. Nakar, Quezon in exactly an hour (it's 12:13am) with some mountaineers and journalists. We'll be planting trees.
Not really feeling all that well, but...
Will post pictures when I get back! Have a great weekend, everyone!

JUST TRYING TO LIST DOWN THE THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME SMILE
A wonderful Sunday at Eastwood with Aina and John D. (Herbie is a cute movie!)
Citizen Girl at A different bookstore for only 99 bucks. What a steeaaal!
Tashi's wagging tail. (I'm not too happy about him humping my pillow last night, though.)
The feeling that I am actually losing weight.(Take note, feeling lang)
Emma Bunton's songs. (I love "You Are" and "Crickets Sing for Anna Maria")
And in this light, my pink ipod mini from Jay-- for bringing more life to my room and the office. Tee-hee!
My blue fleece blanket, keeping me warm during the cold, rainy nights.
Boracay this weekend with my sister, Francine and cousins, Grace and Chot. And did I mention that it's free? Thanks, coolest Uncle F!(Please God, don't let it rain!)
See, you have a lot of things to be happy about. Be happy, Bunny. Be Happy.

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY
Ever After Bonnie Bailey
(I just sooo love and can relate to this song!)
Three years ago my journey began Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark Just knowing with conviction from the start The moment your eyes made an introduction I felt my second violent breath of life Flawless to the point of being godly Yet I fell hard for your imperfections
And now we’re slightly weathered, we’re slightly worn Our hands grip together eye to eye through the storm yet I still believe in ever after with you Coz life is a pleasure with you by my side And there ain’t no current in this river we can’t ride I still believe in ever after with you
Nothing compares to the good times Feels like we’re floating when the rest have to climb You made me believe in love and not the perfect kind A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine Emotions volcanic eruptions We both still care so we’re still alive Tunnel vision, determination I want you I want to make it right
You are my twisted sunshine

EASIER
It gets easier.
To just wake up, breathe and go through each day without hearing Jay's voice, without reading his messages.
It's been easier to swallow the thought that we should have been together by now. And that instead of these sad, melancholic thoughts, I should be writing about happy, intoxicating, blissful and super kilig moments with Jay.
But like I said, it has been getting easier.
Yet the longing never stops, never ends. Not even for one split second does it escape me.
It amazes me how strongly I feel for him, even after a month of...well, nothing but 2nd and 3rd hand information as to his well-being. A friend said she doesn't know how I do it, how I can still be sooo inlove with someone who I have not heard a single word from in almost a month.
I don't even want to attempt to make sense of it, because it will be futile to do so.
I guess you can call it faith. And trust. And maybe an eensy weensy bit of insanity in between.
Some people probably think I'm a fool, but I do wake up everyday with a glimmer of hope that it will be the day I hear from Jay.
And even if I don't hear from him by the time I close my eyes to sleep, the dream never waivers.
Because there is the promise of tomorrow.
And although it holds no guarantee that it will be be "the day", it's still another day closer to getting there.
And right now, I think I can live with that.
That is more than enough for me, for now.
Because, hopefully, we'll have the rest of our lives to spend together, anyway.

BABIES
Didn't go out this weekend. Had a little, all-girl (4 lang kami!) videoke party at a friend's house, who lives in the next village, last Saturday and ended up staying for the night because the person who was supposed to take me home passed out too early. I think the highlight of my videoke night was singing Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" in the sexiest way possible. Had everyone in fits of laughter!
Weekend was pretty much about babies, of all sorts.
That's my Baby Tashi
My friend's son, Xavi
My other friend's daughter, Yumi (She and Xavi are first cousins)
These 2 woke up at 3am and would not go back to sleep! Yumi wanted to watch Barney and Xavi wanted to see Dora. They ended up watching Home on the Range. Haha!
With Tita Bunny!
This one is my newest Baby from my Baby. Thanks Sweetie! LOOOVVE it!
My schedule this week is a little screwed. Working the night shift on Monday to help out this other department at work (as per GM's request), then I take a day off on Tuesday and go back to my normal work schedule on Wednesday. Thing is, I'll have to work till Saturday to make up for Tuesday. Boo!!!
Oh well, Have a great and productive week ahead, everyone!

FOR LACK OF ANYTHING BETTER TO DO
I did some tweaking on my blog. What I really wanted to do was change the entire layout but I don't know html very well...ehehehhee!
I wake up feeling more cheerful--more like the old me,
and I tell myself that I have a feeling it's going to be a better day.
A few "happy" hours will pass, and
Reality's harsh truth will creep its way back to my life,
and before I know it,
I am back to the sad state I was in the day before.
Everyday.
Every. Single. Day.

Thank you for sending me this, Daday! It does feel like Neruda wrote this for me.
I LIKE FOR YOU TO BE STILL Pablo Neruda
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you. It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul you emerge from the things, filled with my soul. You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream, and you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away. It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove. And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you: Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence that is bright as a lamp, single as a ring. You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations. Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, distant and full of sorrow as though you had died. One word then, one smile, is enough. And I am happy, happy that it's not true.

HERE I LOVE YOU Pablo Neruda
Here I love you. In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters. Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.
The snow unfurls in dancing figures. A silver gull slips down from the west. Sometimes a sail. High, high stars. Oh the black cross of a ship. Alone.
Here I love you. Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.
The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me.
The moon turns its clockwork dream. The biggest stars look at me with your eyes. And as I love you, the pines in the wind want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.
Loves the beach, wishes she had more time and money to travel, recently got hooked to
climbing mountains, reads anything she can get her hands on, frustrated writer, adores her
3-year-old Lhasa Apso, Tashi,
constantly needs caffeine, wonders when she'll quit smoking, and will most
likely die due to liver complications from drinking too much (if the cigarettes
doesn't get to her lungs first). Can't live without accessories especially
big, dangling earrings, shoe freak (aren't we all?), sucker for discovering
hole-in-the-wall restaurants, will ingest anything spicy, enjoys giving and receiving
massages, addicted to Friends, Sex and the City and CSI, goes gaga over kids, dreams of
being alone with Jim Morrison and smoking a joint with Bob
Marley. Would love to party with Gwen Stefani, shop with Patricia Field, write poetry with
Maya Angelou and have Sting, Nelson Mandela, Mark Twain and Bono over for
dinner.
