~ forgetting ~

i was blog flash-backing (is there such a thing? imbento ako..hehe) the other day (reading my past blogs) when i realized that i didn't know what/who the hell i was talking about in some of my entries. (coz when i'm a bit emotional, i kinda make some of my blogs unclear so that only i would get what it meant.) hahaha. it's kinda stupid, true. but well, it got me thinking. maybe that means i've moved on (?) and i grew up. sort of like a forgive and forget thing. you just unconsciously 'let go' coz well, it doesn't matter anymore.

or maybe i just plain forgot. haha.

so much for excuses, eh?

~ Soulmate ~

from JL...thanks :)

"People think a soulmate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back. the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soulmate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soulmate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soulmates, they come into your life just
to reveal another layer of yourself to you and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you can't let this one go. It's over, her/his purpose was to shake you up, tear apart your ego a bit, show you obstacles and addictions, break your heart so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life. That was her/his job, and (s)he did great but now it's over."

i just thought somone might need this

everytime i write my age in numerical format, i do so with a single straight line followed by another number ranging from zero to nine.

this has been the standard procedure since i was 10..only the second number changed every year. well, that is, until now..hehehe

so with this i bid my teen years farewell.

hahaha, i was kidding with the smiley, of course.. madrama di ba?

great is an understatement.. hahaha!

~ intimidated. ~

i can't get why i get so intimidated sometimes. it's a mild form of inferiority complex i guess. even playing around with jon's psychology class assignments reveal that i have these "feelings of inadequacy" hahaha. well, i think there's some truth into that. hahaha. i wish i just had this so-what-wala-akong-pakialam-coz-i-have-my-own-thing-going-on attitude. haha. but well, i don't. insecure pa rin ako pag feel ko mangmang ako. tsk tsk tsk. i psych myself up all the time but well, there are times that i still feel..i'm incompetent. tssss. hahahaha.

naman naman naman. must be the weather. :P

~ 2 ~

hahaha. it was a fun day to say the least :P this morning, got up at about 9:30. a bit late already. only enzo was here and he was busy with chi's laptop. i asked him if he wanted to ice skate again (coz we were planning to go back later). there he went with his weird answers..but later when i asked him again, it was a NO. hahahaha! (i guess masakit talaga yung pagkahulog niya yesterday :P) so there.. we ate shakey's pizza for lunch together with hanna and tep here at home then after a while, i sent off song to a bus to lipa.

ivan texted that he was in the same bus with allan going to manila (haha, nice one :P). ayun. then chi, allan cy and i met up at MOA coz allan, cyrus and i agreed (last week?) to ice skate this december (hehehe :P). we (rather, they), after walking around a lot, ate first at teriyaki boy. i just drank mango juice, haha! then off we went to skate. hehe.

it was fun coz allan was really amusing. turns out it was his first time. (chi told me he knew how..apparently, he didn't) we just laughed ourselves inside the rink. it was really fun. :P

best part: allan was trying to skate alongside cyrus (among the 4 of us, he was the one who knew how to skate..yabang! :P) then he suddenly looks like he (allan) was gonna fall and holds on to cy. two little boys who were skating saw them. one of the boys points at them and laughs (they looked gay i guess. HAHAHA). allan and cy try to chase them but then allan really fell down. chi and i just laughed. hahaha.

anyway, we got tired and our 1 hour was up, so off we went. we just walked around and talked. long story short, we ended up at home in qc (ang layooo. allan kasi ang kulet. hahaha.) then after a while chi and i took the little boys to the bus station coz it was getting late already. haha.

it was a really fun day. i super love allan and cy (dapat kasama na si sol next time :P hahaha!) of course i love my sister very much as well :P

anyway, i'll post pics soon. hahaha. 1 more day. waaah. :P

hmmm, got up early..breakfast with ate pao and enzo. tapsilog. hahaha :P then watched mass on tv with my rents (don't ask) then stared around and went to sleep again. feeling under the weather. i hate colds :( had lunch. heard that pacman won. (GO PINOY!! :P) watched pacman. said goodbye to my rents.

round-tripped the trains with my sibs. chi and i were teaching enzo how. went to moa to ice skate, as promised to my brother. ANG MAHAL. :( hahaha. oh well, had a nice time anyhow, and at least my brother already knows how.

got home. tired. ate pao drinking with friends when we arrived. had a few. not a good mix with being tired. really tired now. thinking about..things..someone..a bit confused but standing my ground..figuratively coz i'm already tipsy. hehe. just passed by to check on stuff..

hope things would be great tomorrow. hayy. 2 more days (now). wah. hehehehe.

~ 4 ~

I'm now here in our living room (Manila) with all the lights off except for the Christmas lights. Hayy. It's all Christmas-y now. hehehe.

Anyway, aside from the fact that Ate Pao's here already and I got a big hug from her this morning (I sooo love her ) it' been pretty much a dull day for me.

Went to Makati for an interview (yeah, weird, it's Saturday! argh.) Hay, everything was going smoothly until the Indian guy who was interviewing me asked me something about accounting (it was sooo basic) that I wasn't able to answer . Embarrassing! Hayy. I don't recall accounting that much, really, so it's my bad. After the interview, the HR girl told me that she had lost my exam and I had to take it again..just the Math and Accounting parts . I'm not so ignorant..I know she wanted me to take the exam again because the person who interviewed me probably thought that I didn't know accounting at all (that's how basic his question was, mind you) but I really couldn't blame him. Hayy, ego bruised . but well, I took the exam anyway. I waited for the result..It was actually good..I scored high, even (which proves DAW that I know accounting ). Anyway, I still felt bad. But I dunno. Bahala sila. hahaha.

Arrived home at about 2pm. I just texted and then slept all afternoon...here I am, up and blogging. My 'rents and brother are going here later to see my cousin (and us, of course). hehe. anyway, i'll end this already. GAHD! 4 more days. waaaah.

anyhoo, it was an okay day. watched Ken Lee and the Korean Guy singing Touch My Body with Jon earlier. Laughtrip! (Youtube :P)
got my SSS. my TIN would follow next week.

it was an even better evening. i went to see TRP (Tao Rin Pala) in UP Manila. I really had fun watching even though I really don't know anyone there and I was alone (coz my sister performed so I was by myself in the audience area :P) no biggie. I still had fun.. :) The Frats were amusing. ASTIG!! :P Ang galing ng performances. and the Choral contest of Med.
WOW :)

segway..I was soooo embarrassed. i hate you!! :)) YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. hahaha. nakakahiyaaaaa. :(

anyway, magaling sila chi and i loved their concept (go CAMP!) but CAS and MED were REALLY good. at kamusta..dance contest pala siya. hahaha. daw, ha. hindi ko alam.

oh well.. :) ok na yun noh! :P hehehe. post pics/vids later.. :)

~ what it really means :) ~

just an out-of-the-blue thought regarding having a relationship.

even when i was younger (starting as early as grade school, i think), my parents have always been open to us. we talk a lot about a lot..history, politics, current events, "kanto-boy stories", crushes, generation comparisons (their time vs. our time), money, family matters, love, sex, violence, morality and anything and everything else under the sun...

anyway, due to a certain events...i was reminded about a little something my dad had said or used to say..

my sister and i once asked (as kids) if we could already have boyfriends (i'm not sure if we DID ask, but it came up in a conversation back then, hihi ) after our laughter, my dad's reply,

"sabihin niyo muna sa akin kung anung ibig sabihin ng boyfriend...pag nagawa niyo yun, sige, pwede na."

so being the oh-so-innocent child i was , i thought my dad wanted and demanded for a definition of what a boyfriend is (i think i even looked at the dictionary, haha! SORRY NA AH! ). i didn't really want a boyfriend then (i don't think i did) i just wanted to see if my parents approved of us having one already, if and when (haha!).

so there was my dilemma, finding a definition of boyfriend that was good enough for my father and mother (although i'd like to believe mom really didn't mind that much, haha! )..good enough for me to be allowed to have one, hahaha!

well, a few years later, i still didn't have my good enough definition. well, i really didn't think dad would ask, "before i approve of your relationship, isabel, could you please define what a boyfriend is?" if and when i had brought somebody home to meet my parents hahaha. well, i was only glad (back then) that i didn't need to bring anyone..coz there was really no one..and i was just enjoying my life with great friends and was cruising along the very exciting (sarcastic ) world of school work. hahaha!

well, it was only recently when i finally got the real essence of my father's statement (as a result of a very..erm, very complicated circumstances..) he wasn't asking us to really define what a boyfriend is..he wanted us to realize first what it meant to have a boyfriend..what having a relationship really means and all the responsibilities that came along with it..hahaha.

yeah, silly me, right? but i'd like to think i just hadn't really given it much thought that's why the realization came in a bit late (defensive!! hahaha!)

so there..hmmm..so i got the riddle..so does this mean i get the and i'm good to go? HAHAHA.

i really don't know. i don't think i am. but well, what happens, happens. in time.. hahaha.

for continuity purposes. hahaha.
woke up not so late..stood up..went downstairs then slept at the sofa..haha!
got up, looked at the clock, 11:30..went back upstairs. bed again. text text text.
got up to dress up then..off i went. :P

went to an interview (again with my job hunt buddy, gelo, hahaha! :P)
i was scheduled for 2:30 but got interviewed at 4 already. no biggie.

"what is net asset value?" HAHAHA! i was shocked but good thing i knew.. :P (yabang!)

hayy, hope everything turns out ok. (gelo!! hahaha! kaya toh, wehehehe.)

anyway, later this evening when i got home, someone made me smile and laugh. hahaha.
ewan, mababaw, i know..but it was really sweet. hahaha. if that person gets to read this (malabo pero possible) eh..don't let it get to you. haha. but i appreciate it. really. thank you. hopefully, alice would tell you that it'll happen. sorry talaga. :))

anyhoo, i'll end this. :P like i said, for continuity.

~ the meantime boy :) ~

just something interesting.. people have really interesting blogs. hehe. from boy next door to girl next door, i give you, the meantime boy..

He enters your living room without hesitation because he knows he’s always welcome there. You can never completely get angry with him because you’ll forgive him anyway (Why expend the energy on that?). There’s no real pressure to look good for him, or to domesticate yourself, because hell, he probably cooks better than you do. You don’t get disappointed when he doesn’t open the door for you, or perform any of the perfunctory genteel mannerisms frequently assigned to a “gentleman” (ergo, a prospect). If he sees you as a buddy, then you really don’t quite see him as a “man”… much more the “gentle” kind.

But that doesn’t mean these signs of breeding are alien to him (it’s just that around you, he can slip up and live to see the next day). More often than not, he’s one of those dudes on top of the food chain. Why else wouldn’t you mind having him confused as a boyfriend? And the mere fact that he doesn’t mind (well, not really) being seen with you says he sees you being in that level too - especially if he has to contend with the are-you-guys-together interrogation as well.

And admit it, the pestering questions from well-meaning people are well-founded. You’ve both acquired the mannerisms of an old couple - there are no awkward silences, no trite comments, no hesitations. Physical intimacy can stretch from holding hands to cross the street to a prolonged embrace when one of you feels bad. It’s true, you’re around each other when life’s vicissitudes erupt. He’ll be the first person at your doorstep, maybe even getting there before you do, because you told him you were just fine (wonderful, couldn’t be better) - and he recognized the devastation in your voice . And you, you don’t even need to say how proud you are of him (how awkward can that be!)- you knew, you believed in him way before he did.

Where your relationship is is where other couple’s relationships should be - given fifteen years or so. Only you’ve had this chemistry too soon, way before either one of you will ever recognize just how irreplaceable it is. It was never the result of time, negotiation or compromise. It’s just one of those things that came too easily, so naturally it’s laughable to call it precious (it’s so many other things - just NOT that word). It’s like telling a piano prodigy to practice when he can play Mozart’s Symphony in E Minor after one listening. Just plain absurd.

But admit it, being around this Meantime Boy has given you an inkling of what it would feel like to be with The One. What you feel when you’re with him - how secure, how profound or how silly you both can be - these are the stuff you need in lifelong commitments! Think about it. He’s probably seen you sweat it out on the track (thus disproving the myth that girls don’t sweat), just as much as you’ve seen him develop one too many love handles. Not even for charity will you ever HAVE TO take it easy on him in the court. He’s had one too many fashion faux pas for his own good, mispronounced so many words you’ve lost count and he probably farts in front of you. On the other hand, he’s seen you have bed head, trip on your feet, and cry like a baby when John Kofi gets the chair. Almost perfect, isn’t it? Just add mad, incredible passion (the one missing ingredient) to this comfortable stew and you’ve got something so rare it will leave you breathless.

So the truth is Meantime Girl, there is a reason for this meantime-ness… and you better have the good sense to know it’s not to wait for him to snap out of his immaturity (or for you to make the first move-neva!). He’s your Meantime Boy because you need to learn from him what truly enabling relationships are - and not to confuse that with those that are disguisingly constricting. He’s around because you need to recognize the primacy of friendship (that’s why FRIEND is the bigger word in GIRLFRIEND). He’s there because you need to believe that you can be seen as a thinking human being - and not the commodity so closely associated with your gender.

The Meantime Boy grants you the liberty to love - because while he is an accommodating recipient of your affections, he silently gives way when someone else steps into your life. He gives you THAT look, the don’t-you-dare-fall-in-love-with-me Care Bear Stare whenever your get your ends all mixed up. Don’t despair and take heed: his very indifference is his gift to you.

By being oblivious to your adoration, he sets you free to be someone else’s forever. And when this man, THIS GOD, finally arrives to sweep you off your feet, he’ll marvel at the perfect jewel you are: how you never begrudge Sunday Night Football, how you confidently possess your own mind and project the very essence of graciousness. And why wouldn’t you be?

You’ve had years of practice.

~ goofs for the twilight movie :P ~

from patsy :) thanks dear! hindi ko gets yung sa iba though. :P


  • Crew or equipment visible: From the trailer: in the first shot of Bella walking to her truck, equipment is clearly visible in the right corner.

  • Continuity: In the biology scene where Edward begins to talk to Bella again, the stuffed armadillo that was on the shelf behind Edward is missing. A few moments later, the armadillo is back in its spot.

  • Miscellaneous: In the scene with Edward and Bella talking in the cafeteria (when she drops the apple and he catches it) it is apparent that he has pit stains. Vampires don't sweat, or omit any other kind of bodily fluids.
  • Errors in geography: As Edward is driving away from the street thugs, you can see his car clearly has Oregon license plates. If you miss the name, Washington state standard plates have Mt. Rainier on them, while Oregon standard plates have an evergreen tree in the middle.

  • Continuity: When Edward is up in the tree looking down at Bella, the distance his body is from hers changes between shots. In the close-up shot, his face is almost right in front of hers (below the branches), but from the normal shot, he's holding himself much higher up (above the branches).

  • Plot holes: Throughout the movie you can see the vampire's breath. This should not be able to happen as they are so cold.

  • Continuity: When Alice pitched to Edward in the baseball scene, the runner is running from second base before she even throws the ball. Then after Edward hits the ball, the runner is seen again just leaving second base.

  • Continuity: While Bella is in the hospital (for the second time) it shows the first shot of her eyes and nose. She has oxygen tubes running to her nose. The tubes are over top of her eyes, but when the camera zooms out the tubes are nowhere near her eyes. Then it zooms back in and the tubes are at her eyes again, and so on.

  • Revealing mistakes: In the meadow scene, only Edward's face is glowing. Parts of his chest and neck are also in the sunlight, but fail to sparkle as they should.

  • Continuity: While in the greenhouse, the amount of "tea" for the plants in the mug changes between shots. It starts with a full glass in the first shot, and is barely over halfway full in the next shot.

  • Continuity: When playing baseball and Victoria states that she has a mean curve-ball and Jasper replies, he has a slight Southern drawl, which makes sense because Jasper is from the South during the Civil War time period, but later on this accent has disappeared.

  • Crew or equipment visible: Kristen Stewart's mike was clearly visible between the hem of her shirt and the waist of her pants when Charlie takes Bella to her bedroom in the beginning.

  • Revealing mistakes: Throughout the entire movie the vampires' contact lenses are clearly visible in close ups. For example, during Bella's flashback after the car accident, you see a close-up of Edward's eye - the outer rim of the contacts Robert Pattinson is wearing is distinctly visible.

  • Continuity: When Edward drops Bella off at the police station on the way back from Port Angeles, she doesn't have her bag, which contained the book she picked up from the book store that she uses later on to research the "cold ones".

  • Revealing mistakes: When Edward is talking to Rosalie and Carlisle in the hospital after saving Bella, Robert Pattinson's British accent slips when he says "did you expect me to let her die?"

  • Continuity: During the baseball scene after the 3 nomads arrive, Carlisle tosses the baseball to Laurent which is caught by Victoria. Immediately afterward, you can see Emmet toss the baseball into the air.

  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Bella is asking Edward questions about how you become a vampire down by the river, you see her lips moving when they shouldn't be and not moving when they should.

  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the beach scene, Jacob and his two friends come up and after one of the friends tells Bella that 'The Cullens don't come here,' you can see his mouth moving as though he's saying more.

  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where Charlie tells Bella that her mom called again, at the end when Bella leaves the room you hear Charlie say 'All right', but his lips do not move.

  • Continuity: In the scene when Bella leaves Charlie for Phoenix, her headlights are on and illuminating the garage door, but when she drives by the camera, her lights are off.

  • Continuity: When Bella is trying to escape James and the car she is in with Alice and Jasper pulls up to the entry of the hotel, there are men with guitars walking into the hotel. It then flashes to Alice, Jasper, and Bella in the hotel room. They have obviously settled in and have had a conversation so some time has passed. Then there is another shot of the hotel entrance and the last guy with the guitar is just going through the entrance even though a lot of time has passed. They obviously used the same shot of the people entering the hotel before and after the scene of Alice, Jasper, and Bella in the room.
  • Continuity: SPOILER: When Edward is telling Bella how much he could hurt her, his hand on the tree goes from being flat against it, to resting on his fingers and back again.

  • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: In one scene Billy Black is shown to be driving, when he is paralyzed from the waist down. However it's possible he has a vehicle modification tool commonly used by people with disabilities that enables him to drive.

~ 8 ~

here i am again bored..yep, you've guessed it, i still am not employed, haha! i dunno, this may be a bit bad but i'm not really that worried. truth be told, at first, i just really wanted to work so that i won't be a hassle for my parents..because it IS but proper to be employed after you're done with school (that's the point, right? :P) but ever since they told me that it's okay, well then, it slowly became okay.

i'm not saying i won't work, that's bullshit! (mamamatay ako..malulusaw..hindi ko kaya walang ginagawa for the rest of my life!) haha. i'm just taking my time. i guess it's God's way (pardon if you're a non-believer :P) of telling me to slow down and enjoy the 'freedom' that i have now. my mom told me i should make up for lost time..with friends and family..and myself. i think i'm doing a good job on that.. =)

i was thinking..maybe..this is my chance to have a birthday without thinking about anything. haha. i re-read some of my past birthday blog entries..full of acads and other schoolwork..and as of now, i'm very much free from that. hehe. hayy, i dunno. maybe this year, it'll be REALLY uneventful..kasi nga wala na ako school or anything to worry about. hmmm. ewan ko lang. i'll be turning 20 in peace. shizzz 20. argh. just two years ago, i was 18 (duh? haha) and now..wah. 20!!? hehehe.

i'm still in denial. i still feel like a kid most of the time. argh. oh well, 8 more to go.

let's hope december would be a blast..or at least..peaceful (for the lack of words).
