It's been a while

Met with my Talamasca friends last saturday to end an almost 6-month-dry spell. Since that november incident, I finally felt the need to see them again, to be with them again. I guess you just can't turn your back on those you call friends. =)

Thanks, Rich dear for the Queen of the Damned hardbound.

Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah Ze Musical Rerun

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

Being a huge fan of the gay sense of humour, I found my self laughing my a$$ out while watching this musical. And imagine having to fly my way from Tagaytay, I thought I would be lacking the energy to laugh loud. Oh but heavens, it's impossible not to do so.

Didi was really funny! She was life of the story. I couldn't imagine the story without her/him. Heh...

And Eula Valdez - man I dint know she's that good. I mean, yeah she's good in telenovelas. But this is a play, and a gay one at that. I never thought that she can be so gay! Absolutely love her.

Queen Femina was awesome and so were her Amazonistas. Wilma Doesnt was funniest.

And oh Dodong. Rawr... Hehe... *hormones hormones*

I still can't stop laughing whenever I remember the scenes from the play. Minsan akala mo seryoso na, tapos babaklain sa dulo. Hehe...Darnit, I can't stop laughing now.

I really hope they'll make a Zaturnnah movie.

Who We Are Instead in Tagaytay

It wasn't a typical lazy saturday. For a start, I was up at 5 a.m. to get my self ready for one of the year's most awaited events of Who We Are Instead group, The Tagaytay Picnic. I decided to bring the car, what the heck. I know I can drive that far and I am totally capable of multi-tasking. That is to say, I can drive and chat and listen to the radio and navigate. Of course it ain't going to be a great day if I never miss a turn, so I did. Heh...The rest of the guys had to meet up with me near guadalupe to start the convoy. But then again I am never good with convoys when I know the way. I ended up giving the leader of the convoy a run for his gas money. I eventually won the Amazing Race (with a bit of luck).

Met with the rest of the group at Mcdo Tagaytay. After a bit (yeah right) of picture-taking here and there, we finally left for the Picnic Grove. Again, it's my first time to be there so yeah, I was ecstatic. Hehe... Lots of walking under the sun later, we found 3 available cottages. The view there was perfect. May bonus pang wonderful smell from the horses' you-know-what.

Spent the entire day eating, playing Taboo and Pinoy Henyo, and laughing our heads off. I remember having tummy ache (not to mention butt and back ache from driving) from too much laughing. It was like the problems of the world disapperead for a while.

I guess I won't be making this entry long. I just want to say that I feel really blessed to have found these guys. Having friends like them can make one feel like life's really okay. Every moment spent with them is filled with laughter. Every time I'm with them I feel appreciated, and even loved.

I'll never get tired of saying this: This group makes me wanna become a better person. Luv you guys!!!

Si Judas sa Tagaytay

Our own version of pinoy henyo. However, with crazyheads like us, henyo is such a boring word. =)

WWAI sa Tagaytay

My Who We Are Instead friends and I came from all coners of the metro and nearby provinces to have a grand day at the Picnic Grove in Tagaytay. It was one heck of a nice day. I'm only too glad I came.


Pics: Lynn and Lois, Gharri and Divino (so far). Waiting pics from 1-2 more cams.

and so Holy Week starts...

I prefer these kind instead of those made from 'pambalot ng suman.'

Palm Sunday officially starts Holy Week. I was brought up a Catholic so I just had to get to Church, amidst heat and sweat, to wave my 'palaspas' along with thousand others.

Waving the 'palaspas' signifies that we are welcoming Christ again into our hearts, and realizing that He died on the Cross to save us from our sins.

A Friend's Birthday Celeb

Crosswise from Left (I think): Dowkie, Detty, Era, Fer, Gen, Moi, Bobot, Daks, Grace and Shawie.

The WhoWeAreInstead e-group met last saturday, April 1, to celebrate Detty's birthday @ Cafe Bola. Amidst intolerable dental discomfort, I came to Makati to meet with my friends.

Daks Santos, Shawie "Sya Yung bBrokeback" Madrinan, and I met ahead of the reast to hunt for Detty's gift.

Can I just - - -

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!

It's a beautiful day. no, i mean, really. It is. Finally.

Jey, yeap, I know. Oh but you know... heehee! Walang bentahan! =)

 

Update:

30 minutes after posting this, the good feeling disappeared. just like that. ohhhh well.

MIssing those days

My brother and I would sometimes end up in a fist fight when we play the FC. Our nanay would give us just an hour of playing every night (there's three of us). Being the eldest of three was my leverage (in short, magulang ako noon) =)

Lately I've been thinking about those days when all I ever worry about is missing an episode of my favorite cartoons on TV and getting Mario his 100 lives. Here are some of the stuff I truly miss.

Bonded by Music and Love

more like, coffee and cream. heehee ;)

This is my biological family. We had a rockin' and a rollin' night at Dish about a month ago. I asked them to come see the Bloomfields with me.

I miss nights like these. Last time we all went out as a family was almost a decade ago. Back then I didn't have my own money to treat them. Oh well. I've changed that now, haven't i? =)

Here are some pics, while we were on our way out. We're going back for more!!!

A Letter to the Tooth Fairy

Dear Tooth Fairy,

Let me make this short and skip the phoney well-wishes part. Ironically, I just would like to know if there's still a tooth fairy. If so, are you the original or are you a new appointee? I'm asking this because you seem to have neglected a few aspects of your job. Or maybe you just don't like me a lot.

You see, for days now I have been suffering from super sensitive teeth. And my masochist of a dentist told me to go on therapy for five days before she can do something about my teeth. I have to have my teeth xray-ed and then she'll decide what to do with my charming pearlie whites. I'm wondering, what part in INTOLERABLE THROBBING PAIN THAT SPREADS THROUGH MY ENTIRE HEAD din't she understand. And dear Tooth Fairy, can you do something about these dentists tapping on my teeth? I almost fainted when she tapped on my extra sensitive molar. I told her it hurts but she still had to tap it. Was it some sort of a lie detector test? Oh well, she's the boss around here and getting a second opinion might prove to be very expensive.

I've always been a prompt brusher. I may be guilty of not visiting my dentist twice a year, but then again who could blame me (please see intolerable throbbing pain... and tapping). These people are monsters! I know they can be nice sometimes but when the tapping and poking starts, I can't help but imagine myself under a cold knife - without anesthesia. Anyway, as I was saying, I am a terribly conscious brusher (to buy my way out of visiting the dentist as often as required). I won't stop til I feel my teeth squeak. I would brush my teeth at least four times a day (2x the recommended minimum) and won't go to bed not brushing. And of course I floss.

Still I remember my dental life as a stormy one. I cannot bite into an icecream stick or I'll get teary eyed and probably pass out. I make sure that there's ample supply of mefenamic acid in my purse, medicine box at home and locker at the office. I've always had sensitive, easily-corrupted set of chompers.

I'm beginning to suspect that you, Tooth Fairy, has been playing favorites. Why won't the guy I know get half the suffering that I have? I mean, he brushes once a day (I think most guys do so too) but I never heard him complain about having toothache. He can even grind ice with his teeth. Such injustice.

So now beloved Tooth Fairy, I would like to let you know that I'm not very pleased with how you perform your job as a tooth fairy. I don't want to sound mean, but it's not really fun not sleeping for two days because of some darn tooth and gum ache. You should do your job well or I'll personally see to it that you get fired and replaced. By the way, how many Tooth Fairies are there? Can I get a more responsible one, preferably a hot male fairy? Just kidding.

And oh, how come I never get anything for every tooth I lost?

 

Lovingly yours,

Lynn
