island girl

i used to hate the rain. i literally feel miserable when the skies aren't blue. naturally, I'm a summer girl--i love my tan, my bikinis, shorts, sunglasses, the beach--all of which one cannot enjoy when it's raining cats and dogs. but lately i feel like i've grown to actually like rainy days. just don't give me a solid storm for an entire week or two, then I'm good. maybe it has something to do with surfing. as any INSANE surfer would know, better waves pag may bagyo!! or maybe it could be something as simple as how a mug of hot chocolate just tastes better while sitting by the window watching the rain fall. or cozying up in a couch, wrapped in a blanket, with your socks on and (bonus!) cuddling with someone...so maybe i don't hate the rain. maybe i'd learn to love it as much as the sun. just maybe.

i dont know about you but i love weddings. maybe it's a girl thing, but hey, it's all beautiful.

last july8 weekend, our friends mike and alma got married by the beach, in their own beach resort in pagudpud. more than it was beautiful, it was inspiring. that maybe, despite all the negativity and prejudice and pessimism  in our society today (especially about marriage), one can find true love and make their dreams come true.

 

 

 

 

congratulations mike and alma! your wedding was beautiful. thanks for sharing it with us.

oh and by the way, the resort is beautiful. not just because buji designed it. heheheh

the kapuluan vista resort

 

congrats to my buji and his partner kei too for a job well done! 

how can some people be so bad? i try to be nice but some just really brings out the bitch in me. if you dont already know what im talking about, someone posted in my tagboard some bad stuff. of course i erased it already. it's petty but its kind of hurtful. i dont believe it to be true, but still hurtful.  i hope people can be just positive in everything. but i guess not everyone cant. i'd like to think that looking at the negative things--especially superficial things--about a person is a reflection of your own self perception. most are just inggit of what you have.

dear basher, im sorry if you're jealous. im sorry for you negativity. im sorry you dont have a life. and im sorry i wont stoop down to your level coz if i did, you'll be sorry.

bye everyone. im not gonna be humiliated and barraged by lunatic posts. i wont let anybody do that again.

 i love la union! (thanks kagey for the pic)

i dont know what it is about la union that makes it so appealing and so fun to be in.  i mean, it's definitely not a beautiful beach. you may even consider it a bit below average beach-wise. 5-star resorts are at least 5 minutes away by car. it's right along the national highway...

but are those things bad? is that really the reason why we go to the beach? i mean besides surfing for us, going to the beach really is all about appreciating the beauty of nature with people close to your heart. right? and even if i've surfed in different places in the philippines like pagudpud, zambales, quezon...i still call la union home. it has a different vibe all together. its just makes me feel happy. kinda like listening to a song and you suddenly feel happy for no other reason. sure, waves in hawaii or malibu may be great but it's not always about that. it's pretty special to be able to share the thing you love most with the people you love most.

 

im shallow because small things easily make me smile. 

this is definitely gonna sound extremely cheesy. if you want, skip to the next paragraph. buji makes me smile when i think of him.  i literally do smile pag naiisip ko sha, and yung pagka-non eloquent nya sa english, when he makes funny faces, when he makes funny surfer moves--lahat! especially his dark dark dark brown logs, er, legs.

i have a friend. his name is earl jude noche. you know the yahoo messenger  smiley that looks like this? it looks exactly like earl. he makes me smile too, just by thinking of him (in a different way of course). hehehe. he is the funniest guy without even trying. and being with earl, you just literally laugh your head off. you cannot stop laughing.

my dad came home from honolulu hawaii yesterday.he was there for 2 days with buj. and knowing that they were able to spend time together and gotten really close made me happy. the only thing that would beat that is if i was there with them. pero ibang klaseng saya yung feeling na you know that your boyfriend and dad not only get along but actually enjoy each others company. and im really lucky coz they have that kind of relationship.

i got a phone call from a really really dear friend--more like kuya--yesterday. it certainly made my day. thanks jab. i miss you! 

well, i thank God for giving me reasons to smile everyday, be it something small or something major. and i hope everyone smiles everyday just because it feels good to.

buji is in hawaii. that bastard.

nah! just kidding. but he really is in hawaii. i was actually supposed to follow tomorrow. but knowing my situation, being a non-revenue passenger, by chance lang na makasakay ako. he's there for 3 weeks. seems like forever! grabe...this is the longest we're ever separated from each other. but who am i to complain? my two bestfriends are gonna whoop my ass if i do (complain). jab is in the states and his girl mads is here. cathy was in the states for a number of months while her fiance jope stayed behind. so what's three lousy weeks right?

 

sheesh. i guess i just miss him terribly. but im ok.
my friends are keeping me company. earl noche (aka sonny garcia + the revered buddha) took me to the movies. steve texted me and said he'll hang out with me anytime i want to. and buji's friends are actually keeping me company too. that's really sweet. (yes, that's earl with his mouth agape and steve behind me.)

                                                                          
anyway, right now im feeling like a kid waiting for christmas or his birthday wanting to sleep early everynight so the days go by faster. the next three weeks are gonna suck.

 

barbie + g.i. joe = nikki

->sabi ni buji.

i need to go on a diet...
