Andrei and I just signed up for photography lessons under Vic Sison, which will be held inside the Meralco compound. It includes two after-work sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday, 5:30pm - 9pm, and a photoshoot (!!! exciting !!!) on an early Saturday at CCP.
The organizer of the lessons (one of our officemates) asked us if we would like to join their camera club - a few meetings per month, then they join FPPF monthly photo contests, then they would also have contests within the club. Feeling like I didn't really have much to offer, I told the organizer that I would think about it first -- I might join after the lessons na lang. She then tried to convince me that the club would be an opportunity for me to practice photography. Then Andrei naman said yes agad to the camera club invitation. Hmm. Fine. Sige na nga. Count me in.
Even though I'm a bit apprehensive about the camera club (mejo maiintimidate ako if ever sa mga kasama don -- insecure ang lola nyo eh hehe), I am EXCITED to be able to learn this craft. Scouting for wedding photographers woke up the "amateur photographer" in me. I love my wedding photographer's style! His pictures don't just "paint a thousand words", but they tell a million wonderful stories :)
I want to know if I have the "eye" for the perfect shot. And I do hope that even if I don't have it, I can learn how to have it.
We Are The Champions!
We won the Women's Basketball Championships!
It was an upsetting loss for the other team because they won all their games during the eliminations and semis. Then we beat them during the finals! It was their first loss, ever!
[Lagot ako 'pag nabasa 'to ng kabilang team. Tsk tsk.]
Anyways, some highlights of the action (ang galing ng team mates ko sobra!):
MJ and Lowy on the offense... and tries to shoot.
Lowy's free throw - pasok!
Chenai drives... and fails... galing ng defense namin eh!
According to our Coach Lowy, in a post-game analysis email:
So everybody contributed to this game, to this win, to this CHAMPIONSHIP!!! This is the first time I've played for a team that won a CHAMPIONSHIP pa ha! Astig ^_^
Sorry, feel na feel ko talaga ang pagka-champion. Hehe. 'Di kasi puedeng magyabang sa office, kelangan pa-humble effect :P Kaya dito sa blog ako mag-aangas (and kala mo naman talaga nakacontribute ng points eh hahahahha).
Some more highlights:
Nga pala, we wore the men's jerseys during the first half of the game. Wala lang. Parang pampatawa lang sa kabilang team. Just to make them feel na hindi kami seryoso, for fun lang kami. Weheheh.
If winning was fun, the celebration was fun-ner! Laughter, guffaws, secrets and vices were the highlights of our dinner at Hot Rocks and our drinks at Nineteen20. We promised na walang magli-leave the next day -- kahit na around 12am-1am na kami nakauwi. Hehe. [Pero bagsak ang team cap Joy namin -- pumasok nga ng umaga ng Friday pero umuwi na nung lunch dahil sa migraine. Hehe.]
Ang saya lang. Ganito pala feeling ng nanalo na kasama ka sa team na nanalo. Salamat kay Lowy at "pinilit" nya ako magbasketball nung nagstart ang season. ^_^
Salamat rin sa ibang team mates for teaching me to play basketball!
And salamat sa bonding -- sana hindi lang hanggang bball ito :)

According to our Coach Lowy, in a post-game analysis email:
you'll see that we average 22.5 points per game, and liderazgo averages 20.5... ano score kagabi?... 24-18... we were able to do our average while sila hindi... it only means na defense ang nagpapanalo satin kagabi!!!!... waahoooooooooo!!!...

[Wala akong maisip na title]
D will not be home this weekend. He's going on an overnight swimming/drinking party with his officemates in Montalban.
Good for me because:
* I'll be working overtime to finish DOCUMENTATION (!!!) that I need by Monday. I've been slaving over these documentations since the first week of March -- gusto ko ng matapos! -- but there has been other tasks in the way. And laziness. And extreme boredom. Hehe.
* I need a mani/pedi. Might try Azta Urban Salon at Metrowalk after I finish my documentations. I also want to do something to my hair -- well, not that have it straightened or rebonded -- maybe have a hot oil or a cut or whatever. Basta, gusto kong magpabeauty this weekend.
* I want to buy something for myself. Robinson's Malls are on sale this weekend, and there might be shoes, jeans, swimwear (!!!), or a bag that might catch my eye and NOT drain my ATM. I deserve something new to wear!!!
* I'm going to a friend's birthday lunch on Sunday. No need to bring the hubby. Walang kelangang asikasuhin.
* I wanna do some digiscrapping! I've collected so many free scrapbook kits already, and all I have to show for them are my personal designs for Starbucks memory tumblers. I have TONS of pictures I can put into layouts -- I better do some now, because I have the PC all to myself. Woohoo!
But, I'm not really jumping for joy because:
* I'm paranoid.
* I'm paranoid.
* I'm paranoid.
I think I need more margaritas tonight! :P

Hmmm.
Darice is 2nd honors in her class! Mana uli sya sa Papa nya kasi second honors lang, pag first honors, sakin sya mana :P
Actually, nakalagay sa honors list, third lang talaga sya. Eh tsinismis ng anak ko na yung second honor daw eh wala, hindi na daw pumapasok sa school (nasa States daw). So sabi ko sa kanya, eh di second honor ka na nga!!! Mukhang ayaw maniwala, baka mag-expect lang daw sya wehehehehe.
And and and, Most Attentive sya! I couldn't freaking believe it! Sobrang low attention span kaya sya sa bahay! :P Well, I guess sa school, it's a different story.
Nakakatawa lang kagabi, nung binabasa nya yung mga other awardees, ang taray nya! Sinasabi nya, "Eh bakit si [name of kid 1] ang friendliest? I can't believe [name of kid 2] is most neat. [Name of kid 3] is best in language?!?" Waaah, manang-mana samin ni D, batang-bata pa lang, nang-o-okray na!!! Hahahahaha :))

Last night, D and I ate like pigs at Dampa sa Libis. Again, with his officemates.
Andaming food. As in.
May talaba, hipon (garlic and sinigang), tilapia, tahong, and sinigang sa miso. Pinagtripan ko kagabi yung talaba and tahong, nakakatamad kasi maghimay ng hipon. Natakot nga ako kagabi kasi nung patulog nako parang something was not right with my tummy. Baka umeepekto pa lang yung pagkahiyang ko sa talaba. Well, my stomach never had any problems with oysters, kaso andami ko kasing nakain na talaba. As in.
---
Sporty na naman ako. Malapit ng matapos ang basketball season (next week na ang gera, esta, finals :P), at eto may ipapalit na naman akong sport -- badminton.
Grabe, after ten thousand years nako nakapaglaro ng badminton?!? Last time yata was last year nung merong natamaan samin sa ilong [hehe, hindi po ako yon]. And I distinctly remember around Feb yun last year.
Goodness. May pabili-bili pa si D saking raketa di ko rin naman nagamit ng sulit :P
'Di bale, if itutuloy ni Badmin Coach L ang plano nya, magagamit ng husto ang raketa ko :P
---
Ang hirap magbudget ng pera.
Lalo na pag may naibudget ka na, tapos biglang merong magka-crop-up na gastos, na sana eh nasabi agad para nagawan ng paraan.
Gusto ko ng makapag-ipon.
At maging milyonarya :P

Fear
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me,
but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of You, Kelly Clarkson

"Bakit ka ba iyak ng iyak? Araw-araw na lang umiiyak ka. 'Di ka na ba titigil sa kakaiyak mo? Ano bang problema?"
A few weeks has passed.
I'm done with crying, but the fear is still there.
I was scared. Anxiety filled me. I felt mild panic.
It was like everything depended on me -- my choices laid out in front of me, with their consequences laid out in complicated lines. Isang pagkakamali, matinding pagsisisi.
And though I've done with crying, the fear is still there. Although we've talked about it hundreds of times, I am not consoled. Although I've seen them, there is a nagging feeling of insecurity.
But I'm making a choice -- I'm extending his leash, loosening my grip, letting him run free.
It is so damn hard. All I want to do right now is reel him in and put him back in his cage.
Please, let me get over this. [You'll know I'm over it if I stop linking to my damn Peyups article]
I do want to trust him again.
But like I whispered to him last night, while he held me, "I'm just so scared".
I find it hard to trust not only me,
but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Ninety - Six
"So... tayo na ba?", he asked.
I fidgeted, although a smile was creeping up my lips. "Ikaw..."
"Anniv na natin ngayon, para di na maraming tatandaan na dates", he said, grinning.
"Tanungin mo muna ako..." I was trying to be hard-to-get! I wanted him to ask me if I wanted to be his girlfriend -- a long time cheesy romantic fantasy of mine.
He hesitated a bit. "Mahal mo ba ako?"
Although I became mildly disoriented by the question, I didn't hesitate and answered, "Oo".
And it got sealed by a kiss.
Although I was asking myself, "Mahal ko na nga ba sya?"
And as we held each other tighter, and the kiss deepened, and my heart beat faster and faster, I threw caution to the wind, and thought with a resolve, "Mahal ko na nga sya".
---
Ahhh... young, clumsy, foolish love, ninety months ago. If you can really call it love at that time -- it was more of the other L word that brought us together.
But what made us stay together? I still have no idea.
We had a lot to go through, well, he did, because my mom was the strictest and bitchiest mom he had ever encountered. She was the only mom who didn't succumb to his charms. She even made us break up after she learned I dropped out of a class because she thought he was the reason for my dropping-out. [Which was not, because I've already dropped that subject even before we started hanging out.]
He didn't let it get to him. We still stayed together.
And then I got pregnant. And we stayed together.
And then he had an affair. And we stayed together.
And we had arguments, shouting matches, and all-out wars. And yet, we still stayed together.
We even got married six months ago.
And we're still together.
I still can't freaking believe that it was ninety months ago that I blindedly said "Yes".
And six months ago I decidedly said "I do".
Whew.

Naiirita ako sa sarili ko kasi iniyakan ko yan!
Dapat kasi masanay nako kung saan ako lulugar. Lagi ko kasing nakakalimutan eh. Tsaka pag mga ganitong araw, na sobrang inaatake ako ng PMS, ang hirap magpaka-NR, na pilitin yung sarili mo na okay lang lahat kahit hindi naman.
Nakakalungkot kasi akala ko pag may asawa na ako sya na yung makakasama ko kung gusto ko mang maglakbay. Tapos lalo pang sampal sa mukha na ginusto nya na makasama ang mga officemates nya kesa sakin.
Isipin mo buong buhay mo ganyan? Nakakalungkot! You'll live the rest of your life with a person who always chooses someone/something over you? Nakakalungkot talaga. Parang mag-isa ka lang rin.
Pero minsan naman okay lang sakin na ganon, napipilit ko sarili ko na okay lang yon. Para wala ng gulo, kasi lagi na lang ganon eh, hello, di ko pa ba ma-gets yon? Hindi naman ako bobo, gets ko naman yon. Siguro nananalo lang yung paghahanap ko sa kanya kaya minsan hindi na okay, hindi na ako payag.
Tsaka 'pag inaatake ako ng PMS. Tulad ngayon.
Kaya paumanhin na lang sa inyo.

The Men Answer
Commercial break!
Before I make a loooong post regarding our Galera trip, head on over to Michael's, Paul's and Carlo's blogs for their answers to this meme.
Some excerpts:
I tagged them because I wanted to somehow try to understand what it is that guys look for. And even though they have the prerequisite physical attributes that they want their lover to have, most of them was all about ahem, inner beauty. I noticed too that they would love a woman who knows what she wants and gets it. They want them to be intelligent, confident, and with strong personalities -- I say good for them! And here I thought that even though boys are into those wild chicks while they sow their seeds, they still want a mahinhin virgin to settle down with. You know, the madonna-whore complex that guys usually have. I was really pleasantly surprised that there are more open-minded and mature men in this country :) [Or maybe, I've been hanging out too much with boys! ;P]
Thanks y'all for answering!
P.S. And for you other 5 boys who haven't answered, you owe me one! :P
Before I make a loooong post regarding our Galera trip, head on over to Michael's, Paul's and Carlo's blogs for their answers to this meme.
Some excerpts:
Carlo: 7 - she must have a sense of direction in life. you know, my dear friends, life is not all about outings, gigs, parties, cocktails, booze, and that S-word (i'm sure you know what i mean by this one - do i have to fill it in for you?). if your partner tends to act like a hedonist most of the time, then break off from her as early as possible. it would seem obviously clear that he/she doesn't care about his/her future. my girl should consider long-term opportunities and decisions that will change her life for the better, like having a stable, enriching career in whatever field she desires, or having a wonderful family. a masteral (or doctorate, if she's that good!) degree in her expertise is also a plus.
Paul: 3. Personality: Striking. I am turned on with intellectual women, confident but not overbearing, good conversationalist and witty, generally happy and not brooding (no way to women who dwell in the past most especially), independent but sensitive, no damsel-in-distress but not afraid to show she wants and needs to lean on me too, cultured coz I am not, has good fashion sense, neat, frank but not a bitch, loves travelling and sports (especially target shooting and diving).
Michael: I love her natural self. How she didn’t have to be a supermodel to be with me. How she rubs her skin to mine whatever her body type maybe. Of how she doesn’t have to use whitening lotion, or how her hair doesn’t have to be silky straight or how she doesn’t have to buy expensive clothes to be with me – how she doesn’t have to pretend.
