my PC's pulled out for upgrading.
It's been 4 hours but it seemed like my PC and I have parted ways for more than a day. I've swiveled on my chair for 4 hours... kinda stupid yeah but that's all that I can do for now coz I really have nothing to do. My job is to stare at the monitor while tap-tapping away with chords and dragging the mouse for graphics/layout. Without my computer, I'm slightly paralyzed. So I spent my day spacing out,listening to my mp3, doodled on my little sketchbook and annoyed the hell out of my friends by texting them silly messages because I'm on unlimited.
Boredom sucks monkey balls.

Saturday I rode the LRT on my own... and survived (ehehe XD)
I feel so grown up (bakit, hindi ba?). I brought the mp3 with me and listened to the jpop songs that my younger sis uploaded. Observed the other passengers to amuse myself. Got to the office on time.It's just a four hour work schedule so I went to the mall in the afternoon. Bought some croissants and 2 servings of carbonara for me and my mom and ate 'em while watching TV.
SundayAte Lee bought a box of pizza and pasta from Yellow Cab. She had her hair straightened. Karen took an UPCAT simulaton test at her review class.
and...
we watched the last full show of SUKOB at SM San Lazaro.
Freaking scary. Could've killed me if I have a heart disease. It got me screaming, kicking the chair in front of me (ehehe XD) and climbing my seat.

I would love to meet someone just like that character from my favorite one-shot manga turned manga series. Yeah, that'd be cool! (^_^)/

Dad taught me how to ride the LRT2... again. I'm so poor with directions! I don't know where to ride the jeep, where to get off... lalala. Basta it's a place that I don't normally go to, I'm bound to get lost! The last time I tried going to the office thru LRT2 is last December pa. He's going to Katipunan so it's okay naman. Saw a cute guy sa train... hihi XD (I think he's bi... his outfit is screaming "I'M SO BI!").
Travel time from our house to the office took only an hour instead of the 1 1/2 to 2 hours bus ride. Happy Happy Joy Joy. (^_^)/
Nga lang, I forgot to bring my wallet kaya my Dad gave me some money na lang. I am such an idiot... ay hindi naman, goldfish na lang XD.
My precious wallet... kawawa naman sya! baka namimiss na nya ako (T.T)....

Someone left another little girl kitty outside our window. She's so thin and weak. She has a terrible cold and eye infection. I hope we can nurse him back to health so that our other kitties will have a new playmate. And I want that kitty to live a happy life.

Played with my sis last night. We drew faces on our fingers and put Kornets chips as hats. We had a little pictorial complete with background. It's so hilarious!!! XD XD XD

cutie pie!!!!!!!!! (^o^)>

...it's just then that the pain starts to creep up your nerves, travelling all the way to your poor heart. There's nothing you can do, just pretend to ignore your current state. Soon, it becomes a numbing feeling... something you have come to know ever since you decided that you want to go on with this blind adventure. Blind and poor... and very weakening. If only you can consume something to nurse your crushed heart back to it's bloody beating form...
--------
staring blankly at white walls is kinda fun. just let your imagination run free and you can conjure up images of lands that only you would see, beautiful wallpapers that you wish you can find in the nearest hardware store and graffiti that makes you want to paint using your hands and by the swish of your giant painbrush.

we just finished another issue. haaay... at long last, I can finally rest. We're quite fast actually; we started layouting just last monday and finished everything last night. We used to do deadlines 4 days earlier... beat that! harhar!!!
I have a very painful shoulder (actually it's between my neck and back talaga). I badly need a massage. It's my bad posture siguro, I've been slouching kc yung sandalan ng computer chair ko mababa. Ang sakit, sarap suntukin. Tapos, my allergy is so hyper these past days. I sneeze everytime I smell perfume, paint, powder, bad odor, lotion... etc. I don't want to take antihistamine pills/ sleeping pills. Popping allergy pills leave me EXTREMELY drowsy... sorta like narcoleptic.
in other news, I'm a good girl na!!! how good? I've been coming to the office earlier than usual. Siguro it's better na rin coz if I don't offset, I can go home earlier, sleep earlier, and go to the office the next day EARLIER. My family and friends would be so proud of me for sure..(HaHa! achievement ba itow?)
weird adventures again:
- rode a jeepney and saw that the passenger in front of me is the missing twin of Manny Pacquiao. As in grabe! magkamukha talaga sila, maputi lang ung mamang nakita ko. Siguro he noticed my shocked face when I looked at him, siguro marami nang nagsabi sa kanya nun. XD
- had to run to 7-11 to have the sample print of our magazine cover scanned. We used a new barcode image and were making sure there won't be any problems with the final prints. I went back to the office to get a new print, went to Mercury Drug to have it scanned with their machine (okifadoki naman) then di pa ako nakuntento, I went back to 7-11 and they scanned it for me (Yey! ok din). Nakakapagod grabe pero what's funny is that there this promo inside 7-11; They thought I bought something kaya they gave me a li'l cup of Campbell's Mushroom Soup to taste. Hah! I'm such a lucky girl! I love love love soup. <3 (^u^)

some cat pictures that I took last Saturday.
Cats are very beautiful animals. Our cats already got used to seeing me running around, clutching a camera. They're always ready to pose, eager to look at the silver flashy thing I'm pointing at them, very curious and happy to stare while I click away. It's their eyes that make every picture wonderful. Just lovely. <3

nothing much happened today.
just had to finish some layouting stuff.
woot! killer deadline.
Uhmm... what else?
Ahmm... my weekend went well. Watched TV with my family, ate take-outs, goofing off with my sisters, texting long lot friends (particularly one loud gay friend XD). And oh! Jan has a Globe number na! I can text her when I'm on unli. Karen went to her UPCAT review class (the whole day!). Poor kid is exhausted. :X
Last night, my mom had me sew a curtain for their bedroom. I miss sewing. I miss my Pixie. The only time that I get to sew anything is when I'm making some costumes for my dear Pixie Pie. And that was months ago. My sis told me 2 weeks ago that it's possible that he's still alive and just hiding somewhere near my aunt's house. I've been there to look for him but didn't find him. If he's really there, I really hope he'll find his way home. It would really make me very happy and thankful.
--------
The maids (one for my family and another for my tita) didn't arrive last week. Guess they weren't that interested- too bad, they could've stayed here and slacked all they want while still earning a whole bunch of moolah. I hope we find one coz our house is falling apart without any help from an industrious person (who's willing to feed our cats & dogs and give our stinking dogs some good scrubbing). I'm sure there won't be any problem with the laundry coz we're planning on just having our clothes washed at the laundromat. We need help. Yeah, really really.
-----------
Lee Dong Wook!!!
You are soooooooooooooooo cute! <3
I stayed at home last Saturday just so I can watch you on Wowowee.
You are one beautiful creature. My mom and titas also fell in love with you.
I want to marry you... in my dreams. XD

OH NO.
it's official.
I am now an Obsessive-compulsive Downloader.
Starting 11am until 7pm today, I've already downloaded 98 songs.
FREAKING 98! hindi pa naging 100!! ahaha..haha... (-.-);;;
I'm such a dork. But don't get me wrong ha! I'm still doing my layout/ graphic stuff while downloading... ehehe XD
Pero it's not so bad naman if you ask me, kc I found the songs that I've been looking for years! Take that!! I'm a skilled downloader! I'm so good with keywords! Bwahaha! What's next? Total world domination? lemme think about that later.. bwehehe XD XD XD
Okay, here's a list of what I found:
1. Mouth- Merrill Bainbridge
2. Bitch- Meredith Brooks
3. Wishing on the same star- Keedy
4. Back for good- Take That
5. Open up your heart and let the sunshine in- Frente
6. Do you really want me- Robyn
7. As I lay me down- Sophie B Hawkins
8. Too many walls- Cathy Dennis
9. So little time- Arkarna
10. One headlight- The Wallflowers
11. Best Days- Juice
12. How do I deal- Jennifer Love Hewitt
... and lots more.
Obviously, most of these songs are from the mid 90's. These are some of the few songs that I'll never grow tired hearing. Am I happy? shempre Oo!! Frustration ko ata ang mga yan!!! (0_0)!!
I love it!! it's so good to have different genres of mp3s coz I listen to songs depending on my mood... and it helps me alot while I'm working. Basta, you get my point.

Had a weird/funny dream last night.
In my dream, my Lufet friends and I are together for our monthly gimmick.
Tapos, Luz asked:
"Sino may dalang camera?"
Lahat kami umiling... wala palang nakapagdala.
Then nag-away-away na kaming lahat saying:
"Ano ba naman kayo?! Eh yun lang naman ang ipinunta natin dito eh! Ano nang gagawin natin kung di tayo makakapagpicture-picture?!!"
hahaha!!! (>_<)!!!
ang kulet grabeh!!!

We had a pictorial kanina for the next cover of MWH. I had nothing else to do kaya we went to watch the photoshoot at the rooftop of the office. There were so many fangirls who went up just so they can take a glimpse of the band- Cueshe. Some were loud- giggling and elbowing each other saying "Ikaw na lumapit, nahihiya ako eh!". They're so obvious na kinikilig sila kaya one of the vocalists of the band smiled and tried to approach them. I was of no help naman talaga sa shoot eh, (hehe) I just wanted to see the band up close even if I'm not a fan of their music. We just goofed off chasing dragonflies. Ayun. :D
I'm such an 'epal' ehehe XD
I float in pictures because I always wear colorful shirts. Ultimate Epal talaga ang dating! XD XD XD
One reason I keep hanging by the shoot is because I want to have my picture taken with them. No, I'm not their fangirl- I just want to coz hey, they're very popular!! Annie even went to the HRD so the fangirls who are trooping by the shoot can be controlled. The band members are very nice naman. They seem very grounded kahit they've already won so many awards. Jay, one of the vocalists even asked me "Koreana ka ba?". I said "Ahmm.. Hindi." (^_^)v
by the way, here's moi with Cueshe...
that's all for now.

Had a hard time waking up this morning. I coudn't sleep last night coz there were pests flying around the bedroom. As in 'flying ipis", the kind that swoops down at you when you try to get away. It seemed like they're having fun coz whichever corner of the room we run to, they're still chasing us. Ick! SO, i had no choice but to kill 'em myself... with my trusty slippers. At! bionic ang isang ipis, natamaan ko na tapos maya-maya lumilipad na ulit. Grabeh! My mom would point "Ayun!! may ipis pa dun!". My sis ignored everything and just hid under the covers. Haha, it's funny! Another misadventure for the nocturnal Noelle. XD
--------------------
conversation last weekend...
Me: Haha! ang kulit ni ___, minsan lang magtext tapos ito lang ang sasabihin sakin. Sabi nya blah blah blah...
Ate Lee: Siya ba yung ano...?
Me: Oo, sya nga.
Mom: blahblahblah....gusto ko nga sana kayo na lang eh...
Me: Ah..haha.. ikaw talaga! (0_o);;;;;
Ate Lee: ang pogi nya!
Me: Matalino yun eh...
Ate Lee: Talaga! ang galing naman! mabait ba yun?
Me: Oo, blahblahblah... madalas nga sila magkita eh...
Ate Lee: Sana ako din makita ko ulit sya...
I know na what I've written above doesn't make sense...
I just had to edit out some parts, ehehe XD
Pero if you were me, nakakawindang ang usapan namin.
Pero I'm over it na, about san? yun na yun basta.
Yeah, whatever.

Ok. Time for some fangirling... ehehe XD
I'm currently obsessing on the k-drama "My Girl". The story is light, the actors are all so good-looking, the main character is super funny, their clothes are so cool... I love everything about it!
Every night, I'm always in a hurry to get home- even if I had to run just so I can watch the show. One good reason is this guy...
He's so cuuuuuuuuuute! <3
Lalo na pag nagsusungit sya! haaaaaay..... I love him na! XD
Well anyway, ehehe (segway bigla)... I still haven't gotten over the Superman Returns movie. I love it! I remember having goosebumps when I heard the Superman theme at the start of the movie. And everybody, o sige na nga, EVERY GIRL in the movie house is mumbling to herself, saying "Ang gwapo..." after seeing the new Clark Kent. Even Janjan who's not very open when it comes to boys keep on telling me "Ang gwapo nya noh?!".
Haaaay! He's so damn hot! Panis ang ibang Hollywood actors na itinuring na 'hot' ng mga tao. I love him na din! ehehe XD
Some people are saying na Brandon Routh daw is gay. Lech! Di noh! He's a man! He's my man! Haha!! XD He's just effem, yun lang siguro. Pero that's what makes him more lovable.
Yeah! So there. (^_~)>

I'm so cranky today. Sorry people. I'm not yet PMSing. I'm normally like this when I wake up in the morning. Ewan, pero it irks me when I have nothing to eat in the morning. When was the last time that my family and I ate our breakfast together? I think that was months ago. But I understand naman because of the situation right now. And when I get to the place I'm supposed to go to, there are stuff on my table that aren't even mine. And! and! I have to clean the garbage that some people left. Some people are so irresponsible.
--------
the new maid will arrive on Wednesday. I hope she's nice. The last time we have a maid at home was in 1995. I hope she's not a freak like the maids we fired. I hope she's just like Ate Anne, Ate Isabel, Ate Grace or Ate Flor whom we love and treated as family members.

There are hot and cold days. It's just like the weather in this country: one day it's sunny then the next day there's a downpour. Like a turtle, I hide in my shell when I get scared. I have to protect my feelings coz I'm afraid I'll get hurt.
---------
I hate what's happening to this country. It's always the 'crab-mentality' scenario everywhere. "Dirty" politics. They're only thinking for themselves, not for the whole country. There's no progress. Haaaaay... but still, the Philippines ranked 17th in the list of the happiest country. Good for us! Filipinos are still happy despite all the greed, corruption and hate of the politicians. We must've loved Peter Pan's 'think happy thoughts' motto, huh? Gogogo Philippines pa rin! I'll still love this country no matter what happens. Yeah!

While blog-hopping, I've read this beautiful post about friends who are growing tired of repeating eveything that they've done in their past. It's so lovely, it strikes close to home. I've had friends who seem to have forgotten about me. It hurts that they want to move on and have to avoid all the easiest access of communication. But why do they want to move on? Is it a shame that we have been friends for years? Is it me? But whatever's the reason, I'm still waiting for my phone to beep and see those people's name on the screen of my cellphone. I'm still holding onto the memories that we have all shared... even if it's nothing compared to the fun that you're having with your new friends. It's painful that some people want to forget a chapter of their life. It's more painful to realize that I may be a part of that chapter that you're trying to erase and I'll always be only a part of your past. You may not realise it but I still think about all our fun days... those are wonderful days. For you, they were wonderful... were. Sigh. It's easier for me to express this on this blog. I really don't rant in real life. But you're one of those few people who listens to me, you're special even if you don't see me just as much. I wish things like this don't happen to good friends but I guess there's nothing we can do. Time is pulling us apart... and we are all drifting away... slowly.

I'm tired.
I want to sleep but I can't... I shouldn't...
Not until I finish my illustrations.
I have a very weird body clock.
I'm naturally a nocturnal. Perpetually insomniac. No matter how I try, (even if I try to sleep before 11pm but I still end up sleeping at 2am) I'll still wake up at 7:30am. Nyah?!
I'm trying not to eat sweets before sleeping as much as possible. Sugar only makes me hyper. And I've also stopped drinking coffee.
I guess it'll stay this way for a long time. I got used to staying up late because that's the only time that I can think clearly... ideas just start to flood my brain. People say that it's very common in artists coz it's usually during night time when the creative juices start to flow.
hay hay hay...
I painted again, and it felt so good.
I love how the paint slowly flowed and formed patterns.
I love how the pigments lightly stained the crisp white paper.
I love how it made me forget about things.
---------
it sucks when you are made to believe that there is a chance coz that's when you get to hold onto the false hope that something good will come your way. I've often wondered why people choose to look on the brighter side of life. Happy endings only happen in movies, even the fairy tales that we have loved as kids are altered. If I were to choose between being optimistic and pessimistic, I'd choose the latter coz you're preparing yourself for the worst... the good things that you get will just come as a sweet surprise. That's better than having a bitter surprise slapping your face. It will hurt more when you least expect it. The reality that we are living in is very colorful but sugar-coated to mask the lies that we are afraid to see.

I sat inside the yellow bus that's parked along Recto, wishing for it to start moving so that I can go to the office earlier than usual. It stayed there, with more and more people coming in to take a seat. I just watched as the green buses pass by, leaving me inside the snail-like bus a little sad- coz I'll arrive late at work again. It's kind of like a metaphor: seeing the green bus leave, it's as if life's passing me by. For the 6th time this week, I started to think about everything again. It's hard to explain why sometimes you want something so bad that you'd do anything to get it then in some days, you don't want it anymore. Ang gulo. I suddenly remembered my professor's artist-friend... the one who lost his head thinking about 'the meaning of life'. Wala lang, inisip ko din yun... ang gulo nga talaga. Ayoko na isipin yun, baka mabaliw din ako.

I feel so sad right now.... not just sad, but also scared of what might happen. So many thoughts are rushing into my head. It makes me cry everyday... while in the bus, while crossing the street, eating... whatever I'm doing, it's bound to pop in my head. 'Be positive', that's what I keep telling myself. Nothing else matter to me, not even the things that I wished for. I just want one simple thing. It's very frustrating. How I wish everything is simple. That I could just flick a switch to change what I'm feeling; that at just one flick, I could change everything... I could stop time from ticking.

I always forget that he's gone...
I can't believe that he's gone.
I don't want to play favorites anymore,

Sunday:
Went to SM Mall of Asia with Janjan, Luz and Hazel.
We got excited nung nakita namin yung Globe kaya nagpictuy-piktuy session kami. We looked like tourists kc kahit saan, pose kami ng pose.
Jan: Para tayong mga turista nito.
Ako: Anyong!
Luz: Dibidi! Dibidi!!
Haha! XD
We ate at Sbarro and shared stories about work, lovelife, classmates and all the other chuvaness. After that, we walked around the mall, piktuy session ulit, basta lakad lang then nood ng static dancers, event ng Globe at the open area, watched the scenery (the mall has an exit that leads you straight to the bay area). We bought popcorn and went to the cinema to watch Superman Returns. OMG! ang gwapo gwapo ni Brandon Routh!!!! (I've said that more then 10 times throughout the whole movie). Jan agreed with me when I told her that I had goosebumps when the opening credits were shown and when I heard the theme of the movie. It made me think "OMG, this is it! I'm watching a Superman movie!". I loved the movie!! I think we all enjoyed the movie! There was this scene where Superman crashed into the Central Park, tapos kung kelan tahimik na ang lahat- this guy beside Hazel blurted out loud: "Di man lang nagulo ang buhok". I swear! perfect timing sya! even Jan who's sitting 2 seats away heard him. Ang kulet!! XD
After the movie, we all had this 'what if we are just like Superman' thought. Riding an escalator with one arm up, Undressing inside the elevator, asking a police for directions on where to ride a bus bound for Alabang, then zooming away. Haha! it's hilarious! XD XD XD
And oh! Pacquiao won.
(although I'm really rooting for Larios)
------------
I really needed that break. I just had to get away from home to forget about what happened on Saturday. It was so tragic.
My cousin's dog attacked my current favorite cat Cheverly. No matter how many times my dad would say that it is an accident, I'd still say that it's not... it is the cause of
STUPIDITY and
CARELESSNESS. They already know how wild their dog is... for Chrissakes! it's a freaking PITBULL! They already know that it can attack little kids but they still let him go out of their house WITHOUT A LEASH. I stood there helplessly because I couldn't do anything, even the dog's OWNER and HANDLERS cannot stop the dog. I hugged him and rushed him inside our house. He died after a few minutes. I cried. I screamed. I cursed their damned dog. I want them to suffer, too. They took away the life of a very sweet cat. They apologised and said it will never happen again. My mom told them that they have to get rid of their dog or else she'll poison it. I WILL BURN IT ALIVE if they'll still keep it. It totally changed my outlook in life. I used to hate people who hurt animals. Now I hate people who raise their dogs without teaching them that hurting the other animals is bad. They should be responsible. Saying that it is only normal that cats and dogs will fight is not a good enough reason.
Yesterday, they wouldn't let their female dog inside their house. The dog looked so desperate and hungry and it wanted to go inside our home. I gave it some food and learned from my sister that they're doing it on purpose coz they're hoping that the dog catcher will find their dog. Last month, their dog went missing and only found it's way home after a few days. It had a big wound, obviously a 'taga' after it escaped from some drunkard who wanted to kill & cook it. They didn't even treat the dog's wound. It's so thin and full of scabies and it's hair has fallen off. Why are they so mean? They're just waiting for their dog to be caught... to die in the city dog pound when they can leave it in an animal shelter where it can be treated by good vets and possibly adopted by good people.
