Got featured for Cosmo’s Style Paparazzi when I attended their Cosmo Singles’ Bash event! ♥ I was actually surprised because my outfit was freakin’ simple!! But I’m glad they thought otherwise, haha!
Why do I look like a freakin’ vampire… I don’t know. LOL. I’m not that white really :|

DLSU Centennial Celebration
June 16, 2011
All photos above do not belong to me; they belong to their respective ‘owners’… which I unfortunately don’t know. I just saw these pictures around Tumblr. Anyway. I know this is long overdue but I just need this on my blog.
So that day, I posted this entry: [ click ] and true enough I sounded like I’m dripping, basked, and soaked in extreme and utter frenzied happiness. LOL. Well I was. Really. Well just look at this:
LOL. Actually, no.
Day 7,211 - Bleeding Green!
- I HAD SO MUCH FUN TODAY AT DLSU!!!!!!
Because firstly, I got to see my dear ol’ university again; secondly, I just love the festive feeling, and lastly, I got to see my awesome friends and blockmates once more… andholy shit(!!!)I can still feel the ‘happiness’ when I bonded with them and all that! UGH. I LOVE LIFE & BEING GREEN—yes, maybe that can be a double meaning too. LOL. - Concert & fireworks. Nope. Didn’t see much of that! I mostly spent time frolicking around the place with my friends, taking pictures, being pigs (both at food and at fooling around) and being such ultimate wackos and shiz. As for the fireworks—even the paper lanterns, well I left early so… yeah.
- And come on, the concert at the TYA was worth P500. And it’s no news that I’m broke—my blockmates are of the same state too.
Oh, the joy of being unemployed.*salute* - I loved the still-actors at the diff. areas of the school. Like I said, me and my blockmates practically made FULL use of them! Harlequin Theatre Guild, you rock! We’ve now got a lot of funny pictures to flaunt at Facebook. LOL.
- B A N G K E T A. Seriously! There were SO many people!!!! The sea of green was a fabulous sight, but the heat and the throng can really get on my nerves—I mean it did.
- Catching up. I still can’t get over as to how I enjoyed spending time with my blockmates. I got to catch up with them and got to know a lot more about their life updates—and they got to know mine too which took most of them by surprise. (I didn’t know that a LOT of my blockmates were not informed of my break-up but anyway. Haha!) And also, I realized that I was such a handful today! I kept on babbling and laughing and talking! NONSTOP! :))
- Live it up! So there was one part at the afternoon concert where froshies danced along to this song AND I WAS ITCHING TO GO ALONG WITH THEM! But… finesse and class overruled. Yeah. Definitely. LOL. Okay fine. The heat was actually the one that overruled so I didn’t bother. :))
- What do you call that big man figure that dances with the wind blown into it? I really don’t know what it’s called. But we had fun learning some serious badass dance moves just by watching it!!! LMAO.
- HOT MEN ALERT! But then I realized they were younger, much younger, than me… *sad face* LOL.
- Animo La Salle!
It’s cool to know that today was even actually the opening date for the Green Lantern—well ain’t it such a green day? Haha. We originally planned to watch it but we decided to stay at school instead for the rest of the day.
Day 7,203 - The good life.
So… I’ve started to watch the UK TV Series, called Skins.
And at Season 2, Episode 5, Cassie said this:
“Do you know what hurts most about a broken heart? Not being able to remember how you felt before.”
“Try and keep that feeling, because, if it goes, you’ll never get it back…”
There’s a lot of truth to that, you know?
And it’s just like how I feel—or more like… how I felt.
I got a broken heart because I got my hopes up too high. I got driven into this madness where I thought that love would be enough—well it could be enough but that time for me, or for us, was just not how it was. Or okay, to put it explicitly, I rather think I got driven into ‘madness’ because I forgot myself and placed the center of my life on him rather crazily. Which is bad in so many ways.
I ended up drowned in a pit full of disappointments, realizing that I really shouldn’t expect too much of people. And that most of the time, I shouldn’t assume that I know a person too well, because in the end I might just get fucked up by chance and the ever-playful fate.
So there I was, searching for that feeling I once had… But I realized that it’s up to no use. Because it isn’t the time for me yet. I am still not ready.
I resorted to numbing the longing. Might as well just go through life aimlessly for a bit, yeah? I ended up doing some fucked up things as I continue to search now… trying to maybe find that certain point where I could stop and go back to normal.
But what’s ‘normal’ anyway?
Fine. Actually, I just want to forget everything, so I do whatever mindless thing I could do just to get away from it all. It’s not wise, it’s not right, but it’s the only way to get by… for the meantime.
And besides, contrary to what Cassie said, even if I don’t try and keep that feeling, I can still get it back. With a different person. With a better situation. With a more rightful me.
This isn’t going to stay for long. I promise that to myself.
But for as long as I know I’m not yet up for anything more serious, I’ll just continue to wait and play along with life as it plays along with me.

Playground Fridays
Club Encore, Fort Bonifacio
6.3.2011
Now these are some of the photos we took last Friday. The wilder things that happened that night are of course, something that I won’t upload. It would only be for me and my 3 chikkas right there. Haha!
Anyhow, introductions. The girl in the hot royal blue overalls is my very close friend, Elay. We click together so much because we share some sentiments and thoughts—even adventures—in life that only we could talk and ‘do’ about. I absolutely love talking to her. I can’t think of any other person in my circle of girl friends whom I can share my secret inner slutty person to. (LOL WUT!?!?)
Now the girl wearing the sexy criss-cross top and pants is one of my girl best friends, Celine. We’ve been together since the first year of college and we love each other’s company. We surely have times wherein we get pissed off on each other—LOL—but it passes in a nanosecond and we’re back to being the awesome pair that we are. Not a lot of people understand Celine ‘cause they get a bit… uhm, afraid(?) of her strong personality and suplada facade! Haha! But really, she’s a very fun girl to be with once you know her and can overlook her brief spasms of bitchy-ness and feisty-ness. :)))
Ariel’s Point
Boracay, Philippines
7-meter drop
www.arielspoint.com
Cliff diving, baby!!!!
This was my first time and you have to definitely try this out when you go to Boracay! It’s so fun, exciting and… yes! Thrilling! :)) My tip to you? Just don’t freakin’ think about it. Just. Jump.
Haha! Because I promise you, if you dare stop and think, you’ll end up going back and away from the board! 7M was the only level I can jump. I dare not jumped from the 9M one, most especially on the 16M drop! It would be suicide! (One of our friends did though!)
In this video you’ll first see my first mindless jump(take note: mindless, ‘cause you shouldn’t think about it! I sure didn’t!) and you can even hear the voices of my companion shouting out to our other companion, Eugene. ‘Cause you see, we had a deal. I can’t swim. So… just in case I might die after I dive, Eugene went ahead and SHOULD BE waiting for me, assisting me to safety.
But guess what! Once I landed on water and resurfaced (the water’s very VERY deep so you’ll just instantly bob up the water ASAP), Eugene thought I could handle it so he left me alone! I WAS IN TOTAL PANIC!!!!!! (Just listen to my friends’ dialogue during the recording of the video!!! HAHAHA!)
And thereafter, guess what? I realized I could swim a bit! And for the love of my life, I freakin’ did! Hahahaha! My friends all scolded and then laughed at Eugene and then me. So anyway, seeing as I can swim, I went for my second dive which is also in this video.
Oh, the guy after me in the first drop is Charles, my ex! Haha! Our friends’ laughed ‘cause his feet were like in total hysteria that it was comical! :)))
The third drop wasn’t recorded; yet it was my biggest boo-boo. Becauseeeee, I started to become too mindful of the board and the sea and the height! I had to go back just when I was at the tip of the board and took quite a while as I mustered to gain my ‘mindless’ composure again. Thank God I did, so the jump went great!
• Please do not imitate me when I dive. You should be upright and your hands should be at your sides especially when you’re not a professional diver. That’s the least you could do to NOT hurt yourself. Unfortunately, it’s only after the trip did I notice that when I dive, my arms were above me! …that’s not right; but the good thing is, I wasn’t hurt!
• I still can’t swim. I thought a miracle had happened! I tried to try out my supposedly-swimming abilities on the shallow waters… and yeah, I can’t. Haha! I can’t even float! It seems like I can only float and swim when the water is very deep. But for only a short amount of time.
• With the board, I feel like I’m in a pirate movie—minus the sword-holding pirate to poke me. :))
Other activities in Ariel’s Point are snorkeling and canoeing. We had little time left for these activities ‘cause we had so much fun diving!
