was supposed to do my press rounds today but something came up, photos supposed to be provided weren't provided. c'est la vie.

saw Down With Love today. Hilarious!!! missed the first part of it, but it was a real good movie. had fun after... more of the company than anything.

NEVER EAT AT SEGAFREDO! high priced, small servings, they charge LT (i don't know what that is), SC (Service Charge), add it all together, and then add VAT (Value Added Tax). All in all, it's a sham of prices because they don't mention in the menu that prices are exclusive of 10% VAT.

oh, played volleyball again yesterday. didn't play excellently, but got some tips as to playing style and take off.

some not-so-up-there people in my list went there, don't know why, but they did. they couldn't talk to hunny while i was with her. eventually, they had to go home and were forced to approach and say goodbye to her. i didn't really care that they were giving me weird looks (sometimes dagger looks)... it was pretty funny. same sort of thing was happenning to a friend of Hunny's. Gave him some advice and it was well taken. Go kid go!

Had fun playing with plastic balloons last night.

played volleyball yesterday. didn't play my best, wasn't able to play much... who cares, anyway :D

we had dinner after that and laughed the night away... we had so much fun laughing that we ended up going home at 1am because we didn't realize the time. talk ranged all the way from muppetshow to pigs to creating the screw-unscrew dance.

the lagoon in greenbelt3 needs sealions, or penguins, or mermaids... sea lions would be best

was telling my friend how irritated i am with what's going on with my ex... he rebuffed me... point taken... i was immature... snippets of conversation for the blog:

ME: my ex's friend from the office messaged me

HIM: okay

ME: same old thing he spreads around. and get this. my ex TRIED before to talk to me
wow
what lies

HIM: pabayaan mo na
better just think of it as such, hes covering his ass from guilt and shame
i have seen that with mark and find it normal with persons who dont have a spine

ME: it's just irritating. here i am, happy with my life, tapos may manggugulo na naman saying "oh, your ex wanted to talk to you but blah blah blah"

HIM: well, be matured in rebuffing it, by saying, oh is that so, and smile.
seems you're still treating it with a mind of a juvenile
you're happy, you're contented so why get affected
it's his loss
then if his friends says this and says that, take it as it is.

ME: can't help it... was greeted with that conversation the moment i got out of bed

HIM: you have to eh, its not an excuse

ME: low EQ

HIM: we both know you want to grind him to a pulp for what he has done
buts thats just going to be an anchor eh

HIM: eq, what an excuse
you're supposed to be taller than that


once again, harsh reality kicks me in the balls... yes, i acted juvenile.

my ex's "bestfriend" (gosh, so many bestfriends, yet none know the truth) messaged me on yahoo today... she's saying i should forgive my ex, that my ex wants to talk to me blah blah blah blah... excerpt is as follows:

HER: baka he's just afraid na u wouldnt hear him out

ME: let me repeat, WALA NA AKONG PAKIALAM SA KANYA. i know what i know and i'm doing what i'm doing. that's a lousy excuse. i am willing to listen to someone who can prove what they're saying. if he didn't know that, he didn't get to know me at all. ENOUGH.

HER: i think he tried a lot of times before

ME: he NEVER tried. no matter what he says, he never TRIED

HER: oh ok...

ME: that's exactly my point. he never tells people the truth. lagi niya sinasabi he wants to talk to me, he tries to talk to me, but he doesn't


honestly, i'm sick and tired of hearing that my ex wants to talk to me. so sick and tired of the lame excuses he comes up with to say that he "tried" to talk to me. reasons range from "he's afraid i won't hear him out" to "he didn't know how to contact me". why does he have to keep spreading that he wants to talk to me, when he does nothing to do it. it's REALLY irritating .


My Wish List
1. i wish there would be no more children suffering
2. i wish poverty and disease would be eliminated
3. i wish that greedy and corrupt people get swallowed up by the ground
4. i wish spineless people would learn to be brave enough to face reality and suffer the consequences, to deal with issues head on
5. i wish people were totally honest
6. i wish that good guys finish first, live longer, and more prosperously than the bad guys
7. i wish that people would just be REAL
8. i wish that bad guys would just die and make the world a happier place
9. i wish i had the power to do these things

updates of what transpired...

on the way to pick up hunny, i took the initiative to SMS my "old friend with a message that said "i didn't like how our YM conversation ended. i was segue-ing to the point where i wanted so say i miss your company. anyway, have a nice sunday". he replied with the following message "i logged on to make peace but you disconnected already. you have a nice sunday, too".

i found his immediate disconnection quite rude. what i found even more rude was the fact that i had to make the first move since he already "logged on to make peace". he could've sent me an SMS. anyway, he really is like his bestfriend, they really don't make the first move to get things fixed, they just sit and wait for things to work themselves out.

i don't understand how people can just let problems sit and pretend they're not happening. it's not like problems will solve themselves... it'll just be a temporary solution, then the whole thing will blow up in their faces.

my astrohyper friend offered some advice (names have been edited out, as usual)

astro: I think i have a reason. they're not like me who can be friends with both. nahihirapan sila sa situation nyo ni *** (my ex) since they are friends with him as well (disregard the years since friendship knows no bounds) they PROBABLY and i'm just using my reasoning here, that they would rather not hang out with EITHER of you two until the dust settles. alam mo yun.

me: on the contrary, they hang out with *** (my ex)... although *** (my ex) seems to have gone to his old friends who he didn't like hanging out with before. anyway... personally, the dust won't settle unless *** (my ex) makes the first move. taas pa rin ng pride ko
.

astro gave me a very astro answer, which is why people love him and why i love him, too... the reason is as follows:

bahala kayo ni ***(my ex). basta ako wala na ako dyan. i wont help sa problems nyo. nor will wil butt in. basta ako ang alam ko you're my friend, he's my friend. tapos.

i wonder why more people can't be like him... be more mature. be more honest. oh, well... utopia is still a million years away. til then, c'est la vie!
