My back is killing... Ouchie....
Hate this chair...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Started working a month ago as a web designer.
I think that's when my back started aching...
I feel old...

Wow... I had the most beautiful vacation ever.
This is on top of my list among my fave get aways.
I just arrived from Puerto Princesa city yesterday from my trip to Palawan.
It was such a gorgeous place...
Everything I saw was so breathtaking.
I think I left a part of my heart there.
It was everything i expected and more.

I went on the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Underground River Tour, and it was so scary... hahahaha...
My heart pounded so much while we were entering the pitch-black cavern.
As my eyes adjusted to dark, i began to see sparkles from the walls of the cave.
It was deadly quiet and i could hear the flap of bird wings and the hustling of nocturnal bats while they slept.
It was as if the bats knew that someone was invading their peace.
Cold water kept dripping on my face and there was a chill in the air.
I felt the goosebumps on my skin as our boat man paddled on steadily in the deep silence.
All of a sudden, our tour guide turned on the light and i could see the makings of the cave.
I took a deep breath beacause of what i saw.
Right in front of us was a towering stalagmite. More than 50 feet in height!
It was like a melting candle, with wax flowing at the sides.
Our tour paddled on and I found it quite peculiar that the stalagmites and stalactites formed into such curious shapes and sizes.
The Cathedral was my favorite. It was as if the hand of God himself carved it from stone and placed it there Himself.
The roof of the cave was so high that it reached 65 meters at a point.
I covered my mouth trying not to laugh when our tour guide said not to open our mouths because some bird or bat might get to use the bathroom in our mouth. hahaha...
The tour ended too fast. I wanted to explore more of it. But alas, it was over before I knew it. I had enjoyed myself immensely.

Now... i don't have the time to tell about the diiferent islands and sights palawan offered. Maybe at another time i'll write about it.
But for now, i'll daydream about my Palawan adventure and savor the unforgettable moments.
I would return there in a heartbeat.

hey! ang saya ko nung isang araw! andun sila patrick!
at si anton! na ang tagal tagal ko nang d nakita!
grabe idol ko na si anton sa 3d... Galing.. nakaka-inspire nmn talaga...

i can't make up my mind when my parents ask me what i want as a grad gift and how i should celebrate.
parang wala akong maisip as of now...
it's not that konti lang ang options but that i'm in zen *content and happy* mode right now.
wah... what do i want?...

nag shopping narin ako. pumunta ako ng Galeria and Greenhills at dami kong nabili! (yey me...)
shopping day ulit tomorrow para nmn sa grad.

me and my mom have something in common. We both enjoy retail therapy.

nakakatawa nga mom ko e. pag may sakit yan mag shopping lang kami magaling na.
i remember 1 time when we were in Shangri-la, she had a bad tummy ache. tapos may nadaanan kaming sale. after a few min. she forgot about her tummy ache na, tapos after we shopped biglang gumaling.

i really am a believer of retail therapy.
ako naman dati, me and my mom had a big big fight at Mega. lagi daw akong late, may hinahabol daw sya. e malay ko bang may hinahabol sya???
d nmn niya sinabi, kaya un.. away to the max. sabi ko mauna na siya ako nalang uuwi mag1. pagka alis ni mama bumili talaga ako ng shoes! as in nagpaka lunod ako sa shopping! i bought 3 pairs of heels from Celine at one drop. i felt so much better...
pinasa ko nalang sa shopping ung negative energy ko.

_____________________________________________________________________

Soft Taco Tuna Sandwich!

Sauce:
184g can of Century tuna solid in water
2/3 c tomato sauce
1tbsp hot sauce
½ tsp hot pepper flakes
1 tsp cumin powder
1tsp all-spice powder

Filling:
1 avocado cut into thin slices (drizzle with a little calamansi juice to avoid browning)
½ c chopped tomatoes
2 c chopped lettuce
¼ c chopped onions
1 c grated cheese

Topping:
Creamy Garlic Dressing
½ c plain yoghurt (if not available cream cheese or mayo will do)
2 stalks of green onion finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp sugar

Soft Taco, any flat bread or even Ciabbata, or any crusty bread will do.

Recipe:
Drain tuna. Sauté tuna in garlic and onions then add hot pepper flakes, cumin powder and all-spice powder. Add tomato sauce and hot sauce. Simmer on low for 5 minutes and then turn off the heat. Try not to break up the tuna chunks too much. You want it to be a lil chunky.
Arrange filling on a serving platter and get a slice of bread.
First add tuna sauce, and then add onions, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on top of each other. Put avocado slices on sides. Then top with creamy garlic dressing, and another slice of bread.

Serves 6

i've been thinking about this for the longest time.
anonymity is my friend and i've never rejoiced in letting out whats truly in this head of mine.

since i just finished my thesis project i've step-by-step been regaining self-consciousness once again.

i think i lost my will power to fight that's why i'm moving on this fast.

i'm really not the kind of person that dwells too much on something that i regret. if i really hate it, i forget about it and just keep moving forward.

i love it this way coz' i hate carrying emotional baggage. if it's done... its done! no strings attached, nor resentment. i only take what i've learned from it and keep moving forward to the next project.

this way, all the heaviness just slips away. and i can work again with a rejuvinated spirit. it doesn't work for everyone. but what the heck. works for me, and thats good enough.

truly... i hated the way i treated my thesis. i lost my heart for it right in the middle and i didn't regain it at all any more.
dang!..... i learned so much.. and yet so lil'
i guess my heart just wasn't in it how ever much i tried.
i never really took it to the heights i imagined.
it's so easy to point fingers right now, but i won't coz i see the finger pointing straight at me.

all i want right now is peace from my self.

regrets??? there's alot, that's right
but i won't take away the fun i also had while developing it.
i wish i had the skills to execute this perfectly.
i really wanted to work on it hands on by myself. i hate that i have to go by another person just to be able to execute what i want done.
and people should understand that it's a work in progress... there will be changes! there will be revisions! there will be blood!!!!!

i hate that i dint represent. this was my atonement for a lackluster stint at my design abilities during college, but i blew it.

i know i said i don;t have regrets, i just want to blow off some steam and take some pain of my chest.

i was ready to take it to another step, but faltered, part is... tinamad na din ako, another part is that i guess sobrang over-confident ako from all the praise i was getting.
Kids... Never let it get into your head! got it? NO.. no!
even when it seems ok, *revise revise revise*!
ok is not an option... the only target is perfection.

grb! i knew it.. i knew everything that they said! i knew about it! that's what hurts.....
i could have done something to edit it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but... i didn't... never settle for okay if you know you've got the best in front of you.

leche yan.... even my strength turned to mush.
thats what happens if you don;t sleep for weeks! the hell with thesis... i've got a life ahaed of me.
and it GREAT! i see it.. i know it... i'm gonna make it!

9it's really been a long life lesson as far as i'm concerned.
a lesson i havn't really learned. how long will it take me to learn.
i showed them the me in 1st year who never learned her lesson.
the girl w/ the great potential but didn't represent.

naaalala ko 2loy si mam cece... she actually took me aside for a pep talk. so nice that woman. it's exactly what she told me all those years way back when. "yah gotta Represent!" she said she saw an originality and creativity in me that was unique from the others but i never take the time to do it right w/c always led to my downfall. same w/ lei... same w/ butch... same old, same old.

time is such a bitch... hay...
yes. i know, I'm a work in progress as much as my projects are.
