...HaPpY nEw Me...
Okay, so this is another one of my annual New Year's Resolutions.
1. I will TRY to be on time, if not punctual.
Be it in school or for a meeting with friends or a casting call. I just know I'll hafta be more considerate of other people's time, even if most of the people I'll be meeting with are used to Filipino time.
2. I will be more productive this 2005.
I will lessen Internet time and will focus more on the things I REALLY have to do. I need to do some major changes with my study habits, I know. My grades will need a makeover too. Dood, I only have three, four months til graduation. Better make the most out of 'em.
3. I will EXERCISE.
Because I need it. And because it will make me healthier. And because PROM SEASON is coming up.
4. I will pay more attention to the people most deserving of it.
And I will do away with the pahamak people just like *B*! Naaah, seriously. Coz there are a lot of other people who deserve a part of my time and effort.
5. I won't be TOO vocal about my feelings.
Most of the time, my public rantings/confessions get me into trouble. It's good to learn how to shut your mouth once in a while. ;)
6. I will learn to loosen up a little more.
Thanks to my Laoag buddies, I've learned to be happier in many ways. lol.
7. I will be more mature.
No more catfights. No more screaming showdowns with Aldrich (my younger bro). No more dwelling on insecurities. No more getting jealous about how much/many each sibling has. Besides, I'll be turning 17 in a couple of months.
Let's see if Ches does all of these! *snickers*

...SiGnS??
"God doesn't often give you what you want, He gives you what you need."
These words struck me like lightning moments after they came out of Ate Wyeena's mouth. So what is that thing I need that God wants me to give? And how is it connected to Bugs?
I decided to finally let go of my past and move on towards the near future. I remember asking for signs a couple of weeks ago. And guess when I got it. JUST NOW. We were browsing through the bookshelves in National Bookstore. I suddenly fixed my gaze on a certain row of books, I eyed a book with CRAZY FOR YOU printed on the spine.
However, *B* (yes, *B* from the past several entries) kept stalking me. I dunno why. He just did. He even had the nerve to approach me. Right on time, my Mean Girl streak kicked in. I snubbed him for the very first time.
Then again, what was the Crazy sign supposed to mean? ;)

...hAtE mAiL... AGAIN.
Just now, I received hate mail in my Friendster inbox.
Well, it actually started when this user named W H A D A C R O (We Hate Danica C. Romero) added me. I immediately rejected the friend request since Danica is a family friend. I also sent them a message:
Subject: whadacro?
Message:
again? hey guys, hanggang ngayon pa ba naman
buhay pa 'tong issue na 'to?
umalis na nga yung tao eh. leave her alone na.
PEACE OUT.
baka naman mamaya may whacsum na ha! lol.
just suggesting from a matured point of view.
And guess what the a-hole creator of that account replied?
Subject: Re: whadacro?
Message:
WAG KANG MAKIALAM "BITCH"!!!
WELL KUNG GUSTO MO GAGAWA ME NG
ANOTHER ACCOUNT NA WHACSUM! SIGURO
YUN ANG GUSTO MO PARA MAGMUKHA
KANG KAWAWA AT IKAW YUNG ISSUE!
WAG KANG PAPANSIN! "EPAL" KA KAGAYA
NI DANICA! KAYA AYAW NA SAYO NI ALVIN!
GO TO HELL SLUT!
That makes me wonder, why do people find satisfaction in putting others down?
Wasn't I just defending a friend? I mean, I just did my part. And dood, I wrote my message very carefully. I made sure I didn't sound biased. Still, I still received a very violent and immature reaction.
That reply was very personal. Very unlike my first message. My goodness, what is happening to these people? Don't they have anything else to do? Can't they just mind their own business?
Check their profile and see for yourself how immature these people are:
DANICA887@hotmail.com
The person/s who created this is most probably a batchmate of hers. And I thought I had established a good relationship with the Juniors, especially my org mates.
So guys, if ever you happen to create an anti-organization like this and somebody older than you gives you a piece of advice, JUST LISTEN. You know very well that what you're doing is wrong anyway. GROW UP.

...eL LoCoS dE iLoCoS... (PART THREE)
So here's what happened in Ilocos. (I still have a hangover from last week, gosh.)
On our way to Laoag, we suddenly stopped near a certain shoreline. I rode with Adam, Sir Eric, and Daryl. Vicka rode with her dad. I can't believe how we practically understood each other when Vicka brought her cam as she joined us. We went down and enjoyed the sun, the sand, and the rocks.
*Beach babes. Vix and I enjoying the quasi-summer setting. ;)
*New wave. More views from the beach.
I'm still waiting for more pics from Vicka's digital camera. Those pics were with the boys.
The second day was actually the start of the presscon. We actually joined the parade, enduring the scorching heat of the sun. I don't have pics of that, though. I just have goofy pics of the gang.
*Sleepyhead Daryl. Look who's snoozing comfortably... even with the camera on! ;)
*Say cheese! Sir Eric trying to take a picture of me. (And me of him!)
*Sun screen. Guess who fell in love with my Calvin Kleins! ;)
The next day was the contest proper for me, Vicka, and Adam. Daryl went on solo flight the day before. After hours of contests, we decided to unwind at Fort Ilocandia. And guess who we met at the mini-zoo!
*Cozying up. The four of us trying to get some rest. Boo-yah!
*Bunny Love. Guess who fell in love with the bunnies! ;)
*Do the Monkey wit' me! A close encounter with a cousin.
*Eric and Stitch. For he can't help falling in love.
Day three came and we knew we had to say goodbye. We dropped by at Vigan for my lunch treat and after that, we had a dose of culture.
*Geronimo!* Daryl and I faking a bumpy calesa ride. It was actually just a seat. lol. (Don't I just look UGLY here?!)
*Trotting Trio. My calesa ride with Sir Eric and Daryl. Adam and Vicka, again, went together.
*Shine. A view on the way home. Thanks to Daryl who suggested that I still take the pic even if it was against the light. Voila, a masterpiece!
Now, who could just NOT miss the Ilocos gang? :(

...tHiS mAsQuErAdE iS oVeR...
Yesterday, I said goodbye to being an anonymous citizen in Dagupan City. I've finally exposed myself to the entire population through a presscon that morning and the fiesta parade later in the evening.
It was GREAT. Getting into the Twelve Prettiest is definitely an enriching experience. What I just didn't like was my gown yesterday. It was supposed to be a white tube dress with flowers of different sizes onto it. But NO, the designer made me look like a layered cake. The people said I looked like a goddess and even asked me where I rented it. I told them it was from Goldilocks.
But you know what, only Ate Lufel and I were the ones who kept smiling and waving. I really appreciated the compliments and the warmth of the people. I had two little boys following our caroza. And I kept saying, 'O, ikaw na naman (You again?)?!' I was really smitten with the crowd.
So hey Dagupan, no more masks. I'm out to show you the real me. :D

...PhOtOsHoOtS eT aL...
Today's shoot was totally exhausting.
Imagine, they made us run and jump at the count of three for i-dunno-how-many times!
And I am hoping the pics will look great. They've got Dagupan's Twelve Prettiest alright. Clad in all white outfits and dashing smiles.
I went to the mall to have my makeup done. I loved my makeup! Plus the hair, dood. And guess whom I bumped into while looking for the driver. Yikee.
A pre-photoshoot portrait.
Eek. How redundant. lol.
Eek. How redundant. lol.
So yeah. I'm still friggin tired.

Is 5'3 too short for a 16-year-old?
Someone I know said 5'3 was pandak.
Thank you for adding to my agony of feeling unpretty. THANK YOU.

...eL LoCoS dE iLoCoS... (PART TWO)
I WON FIRST PLACE IN THE REGIONALS!!
And I had major fun. Daryl, Vicka, Adam, and Sir Eric are the best travel buddies ever. Happy Birthday, Daryl! ;)
I didn't really expect to win. I mean, there was like 60+ of us who competed. And it was Editorial Writing. I mean, they could give anything.
I'm going to post pics soon. I'm still tired from the trip yesterday. It took us more than seven hours. Gosh.

...eL LoCoS dE iLoCoS... (PART ONE)
I'm in Ilocos and I'm dead tired. I'm just writing this friggin entry in a net cafe. Oh gawsh, how I miss my PC, my Margot, my fam, and my barkada. It's only been two days but it just seems like eternity.
I'm still disappointed at Joanna, Marilyn, and Alvin, who bailed out at the last minute. Now there's only Daryl, Adam, Vicka, and me. But hey. We're having fun. I swear. We're gonna kill you guys with pics. Hah. (Btw I'll post the pics when I arrive.)
I'm happy. Really happy. I get to hangout with three twisted and fun batchmates plus an always game adviser. (Go Sir Eric!) We're planning to hang out with MG Urdaneta tomorrow night too. Hope all goes well. Mikey (
By the way you guys, Alv's grandfather needs your prayers. He's seriously ill. Let's all hope for the better.
My contest's tomorrow. Editorial Writing English. And I don't have any confidence at all. Please pray for me too.
Anyways, I'll fill this blog with pics as soon as Vicka sends 'em to my email inbox.
Let's just hope this trip is worth all that.

...wHeW!!
As I went to visit Margot who was sleeping in the porch earlier this lunch, I noticed something different.
She greeted me with that wagging tail, yes, but she wasn't as lively as usual. She didn't even try to teeth on me. She just laid on my lap and fell asleep there. She was peaceful and sound asleep like a baby.
What an angel, I thought. But my angel doesn't really act like one. Margot was always a devious and clever little witch. Haha. Just like me. That's why I knew something was wrong.
I found two big mites almost sunken into her skin. I was enraged. I never imagined myself squishing bugs with my bare hands but it was the only way. And so I did to save my little baby.
When I came back this afternoon, she was fine. Way better. In fact, she was wagging her tail with all her might and pawed at me with much glee. Now that's the Margot I know. She was back to her devious, clever, and witchy little self again.
Alv told me puppies are just major sleepyheads. The only thing to worry about is the cooties.
Anyways, my dad took her away for a while. They're going to the vet. I couldn't come coz I still have an Econ exam tomorrow.
So yeah. Everything's fine. What a relief. Oh, and by the way, the rumors about Sir Narciso's death aren't true. He's still under the mercy of a respirator. Let's all pray for him. Prayer works miracles.

...mOoDsWiNgS...
Earlier lunch right after I fed her, she caressed my face with her dear little paws and kissed me all over. She endlessly jumped at me with joy and gratitude, which made me smell a lot like her.
This afternoon I came home from school, I still had her scent on. Only, she began teething again and even gave me a heavy scratch on the chin.
Talk about moodswings.
Still, Margot's learned a lot since Saturday night. She now goes down from the porch to the back lawn to answer the calls of nature. Plus, she's been teething a lot less than she did before.
I really love the way she goes under my skirt everytime I come to see her. Only, she bites at my skirt, my necktie, my buttons, AND my hair. That's when I grip her mouth and tell her how bad she is. But no, she's not bad at all.
******
I can't believe why everyone around me has a boyfie. Grr. I just can't enjoy singlehood with almost every girl around me giggling endlessly about her blossoming lovelife. Man, life sucks.
Okay, okay. I'm sour-graping since it seems like everyone else's lovelife seems to be interesting. In a good way. (Mine's interesting too, but it simply boils down to me being the lonely one.)Grr bigtime.
Then again, I'm still thankful for my friends who are generally single. Yeah guys. SINGLES ROCK. (Tee-hee. Sour-graping again!) May we guys endure the stigma of being utterly attractive but single at all times. lol. Fudge it, dood.
******
Exams tomorrow. Please pray for me. It's the Feast of the Immaculate Conception btw. That's a good reason for you to pray. ;)

I can't believe I've found nirvana in my Margot.
So who needs a boyfriend? ;)

...My SaSsY gUrL...
My body is completely tortured and my right arm is filled with scratches. I feel like Gyeon-woo tonight. Haha. Coz I've found my sassy girl.
Before you think of me as a lesbian, I'd like to point out that my sassy girl isn't really a girl. Well, she is, but she's not a girl girl. If you know what I mean.
If you still can't get it, fine. We have a new puppy. She's a red doberman; her dad's a champ; and she's toothing/teething. That's why she's found paradise on my right arm and Ald's legs. Dogs are always looking for bones. lol.
I named her MARGOT. Just felt like it. Margot means pearl in French. Suits her coz she's a precious babe. ;)
I found someone who could ease my sorrow. Somebody once quoted, "It's better to have a dog than to have a boyfriend." Arite!
I'll post some pics ASAP! ^.^
And to think I wanted a dog for Christmas! Oh yeah! ^.^
