Star City! woo hoo

It's another kiddie day for the couple!

J and I experienced Snow World at Star City yesterday.

He tried the new Star Flyer but I didn't. I might get a heart attack.

So to stop him from calling me chicken, though I know he got scared that he had second thoughts when his safety belts were fasten to him and asked himself what the hell he was doing there?, I dared him to try the Surf Dance. Oh gawd..it was really a crazy ride!

But I enjoyed regardless of my epiglottis shouting time out. Jet got disgruntled and for an hour and we just sat coz he felt dizzy. Now who's chicken?

He even vomitted. Yuk!

We tried my favorite, bump cars and his fave Log Jam. Then watched ballet at Aliw Theatre. The old mascots who had an intermission never failed to make kids laugh.

The highlight of the day was Snow World. His balls were freezing and shrunk into prunes because the place is really cold. We tried the longest ice slide and I got stuck in the middle! It was so embarrassing that one of the guys went up to me and pushed me :(

But I really enjoyed everything!!!!

My new Dance Pad

I was bullying J last Monday because I wanted to play dance revo in the arcade. But, the KillJoy that he is, he would not want to. So I bullied him to buy me a new one. and he thought I was serious about it. So, today, he bought me one! Yahoo...

Im excited to go to his place this Sunday and we'll have a match. I wonder who will win?

Forced Savings

Since our third year anniversary is near, and I am planning an island getaway to Potipot, Zambales I will ask J to give me 100 bucks per week. What do you think?

Because his always reason is that he has no extra money for trips like that, i am imposing a Martial Law under Republic Act 1215. 100 pesos wont be hard, right?

This will be implemented this coming Sunday.

Yeah, I do believe in horoscopes. Since I was a kid, I would scan the pages of my dad's newspaper to look for horoscope page beside the comic strips. Here's my compatibility reading with an Aries guy:

-------------------------------------------------------xoxo-------------------------------------------------------

When Aries and Virgo come together in a love match, they may think at first that they have nothing in common and nothing to learn from one another. This relationship takes time to develop as each partner must learn to understand where the other is coming from. Aries and Virgo can seem like total opposites: While Aries is brash, dominant and aggressive, always jumping into new things and almost always impatient, Virgo is detail-oriented and quiet, even shy, and works patiently toward long-term goals. Aries's energy is fiery and impetuous while Virgo's is much slower and more grounded. It's these very differences, however, that can teach Aries and Virgo so much, once they just look beneath one another's surfaces to see what lies beneath.
Early in the relationship, Aries and Virgo may see nothing but one another's faults. Virgo thinks Aries is way too brash, and Aries thinks Virgo is extremely fussy. But if they focus on one another's strengths instead, they'll discover a great deal. Aries teaches Virgo about fun and excitement, about the spontaneity that is often missing in Virgo's life. Virgo teaches Aries patience and attention to detail, the knowledge that the little things -- and moments -- are important too. Aries can teach their Virgo lover to take things less seriously. Virgo can teach Aries to be polite and value hard work.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury. Aries wants to rush out and fight without wasting time preplanning or strategizing. Conversely, Virgo wants to analyze everything and work out all the details before acting. These are such opposite approaches that strife can result. Both Signs must make a conscious effort to learn from one another's method rather than letting their partner's natural rhythm bother to the point of distraction.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Where Aries is all fiery impetuosity, Virgo is grounded practicality. Virgo weighs all the options before devoting any serious effort, while Aries simply sees what they want and dives in! This is true both in career and in personal relationships -- which can be something of a stumbling block. If Aries has decided it's Virgo they want, they might be frustrated for some time to come, waiting for Virgo to make up their mind about whether the relationship is a good idea.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo doesn't need to be the leader or the boss; they're glad to follow another's suggestion once they decide it's a viable one. Aries, on the other hand, wants to make those suggestions -- every time. This is a beneficial dynamic if these two Signs are working as a team toward a common goal.

What's the best aspect of the Aries-Virgo relationship? Their great effectiveness as a team -- business or personal. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, make for a highly complementary relationship

On First Boyfriend and First Love

Most of us don't end up with our first boyfriend or girlfriend. And sometimes your first bf is not your first love. And you're not even sure if your first love will be the person you'll be spending the rest of your life with.

We have different reasons or stories on how we met our first bf/gf. Most of us get into this mag-'on' thing when we are teenagers. Raging hormones, peer pressure etcetera. But for me it was more on wanting to try what it's like. I thought I was the only person who had this reason. I was chatting with a friend last night and I realized we share a similar situation. John was in college and he never had a girlfriend. And then there is an available girl on the line who seems ready for a relationship. After the text-court setup which was (or is still) uso and easiest courting means, they were already a pair after a couple of weeks. And 5 months later, they broke up. It would be lucky if the two clicked and shared the same interests.

Usually, when we just wanted to test the waters, we immediatey jump into a relationship without even thinking. Are we compatible? How long have I known her? Can I stand her habits and accept some of her not-so good attitudes? And when all your patience ran out and realized you aren't inlove with her, it's dee end for the two of you..

I wasn't hurt when I broke up with my first boyfriend. We met in a restau. He was sitting in another table and before he left, he dropped a paper on my bag with his number. And the adventurous and naughty girl that I am, texted him. Eventually we met and dated. And we became a 'couple'. After 3 months goodbye Carlo, I haven't heard from him. You see, there is really a very very big drawback when you have not known the person for quite some time. We don't even have a common friend and I never met anyone from his side.

Partly, it was my fault - but being the hopeless romantic girl... tsk. I thought I was inlove when I kissed him. and now I just realize that I was not excited to kiss him but I was looking forward to experience kissing a guy. EW!

I must admit it's so hard for me to write this. It's not that I am not over him but nandidiri ako with that experience. Talking about "I want to try what it's like" Oh well, got to learn from this experience - and I learned a lot!Hopefully, not all of you went through the way I did. I did not regret it. Im happy with my present bf - my second BUT my first love.

in silence

Since I was soo tired from yesterday's shopping, I asked J if we could just hang out at my place.

I cooked dinner for him and did nothing the whole afternoon. I just laid on his lap and talked about nothing.

We sat there in silence, holding each other's hands while watching an afternoon show on tv.

He left at around 8 PM. We didn't talk much but I felt I just had the best conversation with him.

When I'm Tampo - I Go Shopping

Ah.. i miss shopping! Since i was mad with J for the whole week last week, I asked my housemate if she is available Saturday morning to rummage the stalls in Mall 168 in Divisoria. I went home with a new dress, 2 shirts, skinny jeans (so hard to find the right fit, i have big hips ), accessories, lingeries (im so excited to show them off to J), and new pair of shoes. And all for 1500 - lunch not included. Lunch at a Chinese restaurant was my most expensive treat.

I was deliriously happy and I felt better. I spoke with J afterwards when I got home and he was a bit disappointed because he was the first person I asked to go shopping with me - that was before I got tampo with him.

Tacloban City

Here's the other half of my Tacloban vacay-cay

I haven't gone to some of the places and to think I lived there for 12 years! Although they are just a 30-minute trip and almost everyday I pass along these routes. Maybe I was just so lazy to visit them.

So, since I am now a 'blogger' and I want to appreciate the beauty of my own hometown, I visited these places so I can also share them with you!

McArthur Park

we can forgive.. but reality is we really can't forget.

no matter how hard we try to forget, it already happened.

birthdays - makes me feel im a kid

you might be wondering what happened on my birthday?

my boyfriend picked me up at midnight from my friend's place. I was out drinking with them, Saturday night. Niq, my colleague in college was back from the US and we had a welcome party.

For three years, we always welcome my bday at midnight. on the first year, we both worked at night so we were able to celebrate it. On my 2nd bday with him, he visited me and brought a cheesecake. And this year, he picked me up even if he has a toothache (that after 3 days, he went to see a dentist and had his wisdom tooth pulled out, poor boy)

We went to church in the morning for a thanksgiving and after lunch, while on the way to pick up my friend, I popped a silly question. I asked him to give me a reason why he loves me. And after 10 minutes he still could not give me any answer. Is it because he just love me because I am me, and there is no need to have a reason why he loves me? Probably. I hope.

We waited for 30 minutes for my friend to arrive. So I blew my birthday candle..err..a lighter. My wish? I didn't ask anything better for our relationship because I have it now. But I wished that we will never regret any decision that we had, we have, and we will have.

After a painstaking wait (i am an impatient person) we went to Manila Ocean Park. We enjoyed the place specially the fish spa where small fishes eat your feet's dead skin cells, in other words, kalyo. My bf was giggling soo hard and he didn't want to put his feet in the pool. Malakas ang kiliti. I got mad and told him I paid for it and our 20 minutes is running. I wanted to step on his foot.

For dinner, we went to Harbour Square and ate in a Japanese restaurant with 3 of my friends. We were just laughing and making bukuhan in front of our boyfriends.

I love the 3 birthdays that passed. I was always with him. He made it more special. I don't get to celebrate it with my family because they live in the province. I just want to thank him that he is just there to celebrate it with me no matter how childish I spend the day - for giving in to my whims. And I love him more for that. (see below for my birthdays 2 years ago)
