i think..i THINK.. i know where to go for my vacation.PUERTO RICO?..i found a pretty good 4 star hotel at a reasonable price .5 days, 4 nights..flight+hotel all for $986.i have a 1500 budget for my vacation.i actually like the hotel.the pool is absolutely extraodinary, and the beach..forget about it.i heard the beaches over there are crystal clear. i dont know we'll see.
well TGIF.i actually left work 4 hours early.i didnt really need to come in but i wanted to catch up on my 'unfinished' matters.im so tired.im stressed.i cant wait till next month for my vacation.now im thinking of goin to puerto rico.every freakin day i go to travelocity,orbitz,expedia,etc..just to find a place where to go with a good deal of course.and ive been doin this for almost 3 weeks now.im getting tired of it.
well tomorrow im goin to one of my co-worker's wedding.its goin to suck coz i heard its goin to be nasty this weekend..but hey u know what they say when it rains on ur wedding..SWERTE!
im thinking of putting that Q&A entry in my 'about me' section(that is if i have one)..i wanted to do a q&a about another thing but as i was typing along that's what was goin through my mind..so i might as well publish it.
uhmm... what else is goin on? i dont know whats happening with the mail situation here in my neighborhood but i never received my bills from time warner and tmobile.i had to pay online , which i usually do once in a while when i dont have a stamp available.LOL..im so glad that im done with all my credit card expenses.i only use one major credit card now.plus the bills in the house.so im all good.now i could put more in my savings.
i also want to take this opportunity(wow..parang totoong speech..) to thank those people who signed my guestbook... by force...LOLZ..i really appreciate u guys taking time out from ur busy schedules and reading whats happening with my life. im actually spending more time here in this site than my friendster.if this site just had the same chuvanes like what friendster has then i wouldnt need the other one.i just really go in friendster to see who's viewed me.but i guess i'll still keep that coz that's more personal.i get a lot of request from other people to add them in my friendster but i really cant coz...really...if i dont know u although u'r linked to one of my friends that are in there..i cant add u. so if u want u could just check out this blog and see what's goin on with my life.believe me..when u read my entries u'll get to know more about me.i tend to express more through writing.im not an "action speaks louder than words" kinda gal.
i guess that's it.
**this is actually a piece that im still working on.so in short mukhang nangbibitin ako..i'll leave u hanging(unintentionally)..this is just a really big piece for me to handle all in one day..so, really, whatever pops in my head i'll add.**
this entry is a little insight of who i really am.this is for those people who want to get to know more about me; for those who think they know me(but really dont); and for those people who could care less about me but is still interested on what i write..(in short mga blog-a-natics!)here goes the monologue:
Q: if you were to meet somebody for the first time,and they ask 'whats your story?'what would you say?
A: THAT IM FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND IM A SURGICAL COORDINATOR AT A PRIVATE ORTHOPAEDIC OFFICE.IF THEY REALLY WANT TO GET INTO DETAILS LIKE MY WHOLE HISTORY THEN IMA SAY THAT WHEN I WAS 9 MY FAMILY MIGRATED TO THE STATES. AT THAT TIME MY MOM WAS REALLY SERIOUS WITH HER BUSINESS OF OWNING A PRIVATE SCHOOL.SO SHE DECIDED TO GO BACK THERE AND BROUGHT MY BROTHER ALONG.SO I STAYED HERE IN NY WITH MY DAD AND AUNT.I STUDIED HERE FOR 4 YEARS AND SINCE I WANTED TO BE WITH MY MOM AND WAS REALLY HOMESICK I FINALLY CONVINCED HER TO LET ME GO BACK THERE AND STUDY.I WAS 13 WHEN I WENT BACK TO PINAS AND STARTED MY SOPHMORE YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AT AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL.THEN I WENT TO COLLEGE AT DLSU-D AND GRADUATED WITH A MANAGEMENT DEGREE IN BUSINESS ADMINNISTRATION.RIGHT AFTER COLLEGE I WENT BACK TO THE STATES.I TOOK UP A MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM HERE FOR 9 MONTHS. I GUESS I HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS NOW..MEDICAL AND BUSINESS.LOLZ.AFTER THAT I HAD MY FIRST JOB AT THIS CLINIC WHERE I MET MY CURRENT EMPLOYER..TALK ABOUT BEING THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.AND IVE BEEN WITH THEM EVER SINCE. I WENT TO THE PHILIPPINES FOR A YEAR AND THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP WORKING AT A CALL CENTER FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. COME TO THINK OF IT IVE BEEN HERE FOR 6 YEARS SINCE I CAME BACK AFTER COLLEGE..WELL ACTUALLY 5 COZ I WAS IN PINAS FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
Q:how would u describe yourself?what's your personality like?
A: IM A SIMPLE WOMAN WITH BIG AMBITIONS. IM NOT INTO MAKE UP, NOT INTO BRANDED CLOTHES.I COULD CARE LESS IF I BUY IT FROM THE "UK"(IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN..IF YOU DO THEN YOURE ONE OF US). I LIKE TO KEEP MY FEET ON THE GROUND. I DONT CARE ABOUT BEING COOL OR BEING IN THE "IN CROWD". I DONT LIKE TALKING ABOUT MY STATUS IN LIFE OR ANY OTHER PEOPLE'S STATUS IN SOCIETY COZ I FEEL LIKE UR JUDGING SOMEBODY JUST BY THE WAY THEY LIVE AND NOT FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE. IM MOODY..WHICH IN TURN MAKES ME BITCHY.IF IM MAD AT SOMEBODY I COULD NOT TALK TO THEM AND NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL.IM ONE OF THOSE WHO PERFORM THE 'SILENT TREATMENT'.IF YOU DONT WANT TO TALK TO ME THEN IM NOT TO TALK TO YOU.IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG I WONT APOLOGIZE RIGHT AWAY UNLESS ITS REALLY OBVIOUS THAT ITS MY FAULT.AND IF I DID APOLOGIZE AND U STILL CANT FIND TO FORGIVE ME THEN I WILL JUST LEAVE U ALONE AND NOT BOTHER U.I WILL ONLY SAY SORRY ONCE..TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.I GET IRRITATED QUICKLY.I LIKE TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO MAKES SENSE, WHO HAVE DEEP THOUGHTS, AND WHO I CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM.BEING ALONE DOESNT BOTHER ME.I LIKE WATCHING MOVIES BY MYSELF.IM MORE OF A HOME BUDDY.NEVER BEEN ONE OF THOSE BLACK SHEEP.I WANT A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT.IM INTO NATURE.I LOVE TAKING PICTURES COZ FOR ME EVERY SHOT IS A MOMENT TO REMEMBER.I CARE ABOUT PEOPLE I LOVE BUT CANT SHOW IT THE RIGHT WAY.IM ANALYTICAL.ABSTRACT. I COULD ADAPT TO CHANGE EASILY. I DONT REALLY CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ME AS LONG AS I KNOW I HAVE A GOOD CONSCIENCE.
Q: any frustrations?
A: IM SO AMBITOUS THAT I HAVE ALOT OF FRUSTRATIONS.IM A FRUSTRATED PILOT.EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A PILOT.WHAT INSPIRED ME?MY VERY FIRST FLIGHT WHEN I WAS 9.IN THE LONG RUN IMA TAKE UP FLYING LESSONS.IM A FRUSTRATED ACTOR.I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO MOVIES/BE ON TV.NOW TAKE NOTE..I DONT WANT TO BE A CELEBRITY..I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS AN ACTOR IF I WAS EVER TO BE IN THAT FIELD.CELEBRITY IS BEING ALL CRAZY AND JUST WANTING THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA.BEING AN ACTOR IS BEING SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR WORK AND MAINTANING A PRIVATE LIFE ON THE SIDE.I THINK I HAVE A PASSION IN ACTING.ITS SO FUNNY BECAUSE BACK IN COLLEGE THEY HAD THOSE STAR CIRCLE BATCHES AND I TOLD MY FRIENDS IMA BE IN BATCH 7...LISTEN..I DONT EVEN THINK THEY MAKE THOSE BATCHES ANYMORE!LOLZ!SO YEAH..I WANTED TO BE A MODEL SINCE I LOVE TAKING PICTURES.I LIKE WATCHING MAKEOVERS AND THOSE REALITY MODELLING SHOWS.AT ONE POINT OF MY ADOLESCENT YEARS I WAS INTO DRAWING AND PAINTING.BACK THEN I LOVE WATCHING BOB ROSS.HE'S A PAINTER WHO HAD A SHOW IN PBS EVERY AFTERNOON I WOULD WATCH HOW HE TRANSFORMS A BLANK CANVAS TO SOMETHING REAL.HIS BRUSH STROKES AND USE OF COLORS JUST AMAZED ME.I USED TO HAVE A VAST IMAGINATION BACK WHEN I WAS A KID.BUT I GUESS KID DOES = IMAGINATION.
Q: WHAT DO U DISLIKE ABOUT PEOPLE?
i filed for a vacation from aug 23-29.now usually i use my vacation days when the doctor's not there or if one of the doctor's away or if the doctor's on vacation..lolz..well u get the idea.so basically when they're not there thats the only time i take off..coz thats the only time i feel comfortable.now i get two weeks for vacation.yes people ..just two weeks..and ive been with them for almost 3 years.kathy,who's been there for 35 years gets 4 weeks!wow! 32 more years and i could get a month's vacation!i cant wait.. lolz!(im being sarcastic guys)..
the dilemma?where to go!i dont mind goin alone its just that its goin to cost me more.originally i wanted go to hawaii..then the us virgin islands..but that time is goin to be hurricane season . then key west in florida..but ive been to florida already and i wanted to go somewhere i havent been to before. then there's the west coast.i wanna go to california but my home girl amy is not there anymore and i couldve saved on accomodations right there. i do know some other people who lives there but dyahe naman diba.i want to spend my vacation by the beach. i wanna go snorkeling and just get a full island experience...kakalabasan nito ima just stay home, get a chair..go to my backyard and just get a tan there..throw in some sand and buy one of those plastic pools for kids and im all set to go.LOL
so what did i do this weekend?i was actually in a bad mood this weekend.dont ask me why.but i just wanted to get out of the house.i mean talk about drama..i mean you'd think i get enough at work..anyway after i dropped off my laundry i decided to go the city and just unwind.i went to bryant park.i really wanted to go to central park and unwind at my spot ova there but it was a long way for me and i left my place around 4pm already.when i got off 42nd i stopped by GAP first and see what was in store for me.i tried on a few clothes.while i was in the fitting room i remembered i had my cam with me and decided to take pics pero bad trip dahil low batt.so syempre lalo ko nainis sa buhay ko.lolz..at the end i didnt really buy whatever i had on hand coz thats just me.the closer i get to the checkout the lesser stuff i have on hand..in this case..nada.so after that i finally went to the park.its a cozy place.chilled there before..last time being with my cousin te tess after we had brunch like 2 mos ago.i made a few calls to see who wanted to meet me up in the city.luckily one didnt have a life either(mark)..lolz..so i chilled with him.

it was a pretty quiet weekend for me.all i did was run errands Saturday together with a little pampering on the side.lol..i was suppose to meet up with my friend Alan but i had to ditch him again.he's probably mad at me..buti na lang he's in Florida na.it was foul of me to do that to him..for like the nth time.i don't even know why i did that.i guess I'm just trying to steer away from goodbyes.i hate being in a moment wherein i have to see/talk to that person for the LAST time. i mean besides it was too late for me to get out of the house that night and meet up with him, that's the second best reason i could think of. but then again, i shouldve said goodbye in a proper way.I'M SORRY ..
and sunday i just kept stuffing food in my mouth every hour..on the hour..
I USually start my saturday at night with my 2 buds mitch and mark.but this weekend they're out of sight so i got me all to myself. im still debating if i wanna chill with my other friend alan tonight since its his last weekend in nyc.but he wants to go to his friend's bar and chill ova there.he also wants to begin the night at 10pm.if im still inside the house around 8pm then there's a pretty good chance i wouldnt wanna go,but since he's moving to Fla for good..i dont know we'll see..
so i finally deposited my aunt's check earlier.its been laying on my computer table for almost a month now.but that's because i was waiting for the check that was suppose to come in this month..so its just one trip for me.and trip meaning 4 blocks from my house.(and of course that check that i was waiting for had to come in today coz when i got home it was on my computer table..pangasar ba)lolz. ive been having plans of getting pampered on the weekend to relieve my stressful week from work,but as i said before, i usually start my saturday at nite so its unusual for me to go out mid day on a saturday.so after goin to the bank, i went for a facial at this place where i usually have my eyebrows waxed and pamedyo medyo facials once in a while.after that i went across the street and had a kerastese treatment for my hair.its like hot oil i guess..but better.the thing with me is i know where to go for my chuvanes..lol. like if its to style my hair then i go to this salon at 76th st called MAY's salon..if i want my eyebrow's waxed i go to ILIAN's..if i need hair treatment then i go to ISTANBUL SALON (im talking about that kerastese treatment that i just discovered.its been around for a while and ive heard of the product but never really actually knew what it would do for the hair)..whats so funny is that they're all on the same block. so back to the salon..as they were blowing out my hair , i,out of nowhere,decided to get side bangs..ive had them before but i dont know i guess when i was looking at myself in the mirror i felt an urge for change..so yeah now i have side bangs,and i think ima stick with eric when it comes to getting haircuts.i guess u'd see it naman if somebody knows how to cut ur hair diba.?and just by his moves and seeing the other 2 people na he did haircut on..for me he passed.lol.and i got to use my coupon that they mailed to me before.i wish he couldve cut my hair before and not yung isa na nandun when i went there i think last feb.thank God that guy doesnt work there anymore. next on ma list ...massage... on the way home i stopped at the pharmacy and got my dad's medications ,and of course ,my primary purpose for goin out talaga is to pick up my laundry.lol
so i just got home and wa lang..i dont know should i go later or should i not?i hate goodbyes din kase,tapos late pa..i mean i dont mind if i stay out till the wee hours but id like to get out of the house early but if i do that san naman ako tatambay?so how how de carabao?lol
..
so another saturday nite with my buddies mitch and mark.after dinner at this thai restaurant by my old neighborhood we we went to brooklyn bridge park and spent the nite chit chatting about life and plans for the future.its one of those free flowing conversations na walang masyadong "dead silence", actually i dont even recall that there was a time wherein we just paused and thought of something to say.ideas just kept flowing in.im probably one of those people wherein i always have a camera in my bag ready to take pics. here's a few pics we took under the bklyn bridge

Song lyrics | K.d. Lang - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) lyrics

i must say ,even the survey doesnt lie..lol
| How You Are In Love |
 You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often. You give and take equally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard. |
| You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach |
 You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun. And you don't just love summer... you live for it. So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach! |
| You Are 40% Shy |
 You are slightly shy, but overall, your reactions to social situations are normal. You dread difficult social situations, but you still handle them with grace. |
| Your Stress Level is: 70% |
 You are prone to stress, and you're probably even pretty stressed right now. Life's problems seem to pile up on you, and this often makes you feel depressed and burned out. Learn to take time to relax and enjoy life, even if things are stressful. It's the only wa you'll get through the bad times. |
| You Follow Your Head |
 You're rational, collected, and logical. Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love. In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky. While you're cool, you're not ice cold. You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it. |
it was a month ago that i made a list of all the things im looking forward for the summer. goin back to that list(see appendix ala blog in friendster), i must say im on top of it. i havent really gone to the beach yet.im still waiting for the temperature to really hit the fan.lol..plus im waiting on one of my friend's car to be fixed so we could go out to their family house in the Hamptons...
i lost touch with my bbq-ing on the weekends at friends' backyards for a while..although i finally had the chance to be and eat at HOGPIT in the city. the ribs were really good and the mac and cheese was to die for (being a big mac and cheese fanatic).
i finally got my highlights which i did last week after work. i had the base color done first coz mah roots were already visible then highlights were applied. its so funny how when u expect things to go wrong thats when they come out perfect.i was expecting for the worse with the highlights to come out really blonde, but fortunately it blended with the base color so it came out pretty nice..like how i wanted ti to look like.
with regards to my bills, im finally debt free next month. so now its just the utilities and my share of the rent (which is $200) that i have to worry about. now i could add more into my savings of 1K every month.
as for summer flicks , ive had the chance to see spiderman 3(which i saw by myself..which i really like to do..watching movies by myself), knocked up and fantastic 4-rise of the silver surfer(which mitch and i movie hopped to..lol), and just today mitch and i saw 1408(which is not that good..for those who have plans of watching that movie..believe me,im saving u the trouble).
i left work early today since there was no doctor..so that means..no patients!i didnt have to come in but i like it when the doctors aren't there coz i get to work peacefully .i could actually do my work without any disturbance.
anyways, so after work i met up with mitch and we saw that stupid movie.the ticket was free, compliments of one of my patients..(who knew im getting perks from patients now.lol..),with that i might as well use it which im really grateful for coz if i had to pay one cent for that movie ..its a real pisser. after the movies we headed off to find this filipino restaurant in the city. i know there's a lot in queens but the one in the city was a mystery to me. so we finally found GRILL 21 @E21st and 1st avenue( for those interested). its a cozy little place with a friendly ambiance, affordable price and delicous food. i ordered binagoongan with pork and of course halo-halo with ube ice cream..lol..YUMMMO! we then went to 34th st. and just window shopped till we dropped.lol. i really wanna get these 2 pairs of shoes in ALDO..pricy but really comfortable. im hopin' to get' em next week coz that's when i get paid.
as for my hommie alan, i really dont know if he's in FLA now. the last time he called i wasnt able to pick up the call..and this was sunday.
so in conclusion(lol), i guess almost everything in my to-do-list is checked off. laterz.
*this is actually the piece i was writing in friendster but as usual, something just had to happen.it just wouldnt save.at least with this one i feel safe coz as im typing, it automatically saves the draft.
im really sick and tired of blogging in friendster and then it wont even save.so for those of you na nakasubaybay sa life ko..lol..dito na lang tayo magkita kitz.let's see if this works better.
