but my brain is half-dead. I cannot think of a witty catchphrase or even a funny CORNY joke. My stomach has been revolting for the whole week giving me false alarms with farts and burps.
I cannot remember the last time I have been this tired and I still have five days to end this week.
Actually, there have been lots of things, ideas and random chuwariwaps that I wanted to write. But I have been postponing it because I didn't want an entry upstaging my previous entry. Now, that all those stuff are gone and here I am ranting how tired I am. Thus, I upstage my previous entry.
I am tired. That's it. My mother is just waiting for me to collapse and take me to the doctor. I have been overdosing myself with ascorbic acid to prevent flu and the likes. I cannot remember the last time that I lied down on my bed not to sleep but to think of nothing, except the ceiling. I cannot think of a witty/funny/corny response to blog entries that I have read.
I have snapped on my friends, a lot. And I really feel bad about.
I snapped on Lv the other day for something that's done and can't be undone. I still feel guilty about it. I am thankful that she just let it slipped, asked me if I'm okay and asked me to join her in the library. I still feel bad that I left her right after we sat down.
Matapos lang talaga ang linggong ito at magdidiwang ako ng bonggang bongga.

The Best Ever!!!!
I have a rule to not write here when drunk or feeling an intense emotion. Pero ayokong palagpasin ang pagkakataong ito habang lutang pa ako sa kaligayahan.
This is the best birthday ever! And it's not yet over!
For the past few years, I would always be afraid that something would go wrong during my birthday. But today, I feel so happy. Kahit medyo hilo-hilo na ako sa kalasingan, alam kong masaya ako ng sobra. Dahil alam kong ang araw na ito ay magiging espesyal kahit hindi ko pa alam kung anong nakalaan sa mga susunod na oras.
Sa araw na ito, sinalubong ko, kasama ng mga pinakamalalapit kong kaibigan ang aking kaarawan. Alam kong alanganin na nagyaya ako ng weekday, pero na isip ko na minsan lang ako maging 22 sa araw ng 22.
Ang saya! Sobra! Ngayon lang ako naiyak sa birthday ko. Naiyak na ako dati pero iyak ng lungkot iyun. Ngayon, naiyak ako sa saya. Kumusta naman ang kantahan ka ng "happy birthday" ng mga tao sa Penguin. Kumusta naman na ang mga kanta ay inalay sayo ng mga taong hindi ko kilala. Kumusta naman ang mga pagkanta ng pinakamamalapit na kaibigang songers dahil birthday mo.
I am super happy! Naluluha pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Hahahahaha.
Naalala ko yung nabasa ko sa magazine, yung sinabi si Zsazsa kay Karylle noong kakabreak lang nila ni Dingdong. "Think of the constants in your life." At tama siya, yoon ang pinakamahalaga. Ang mga taong hindi ka iiwan kahit anong mangyari. Ang mga taong mamahalin ka habang buhay pumayat ka man o tumaba, magakaroon ka ng disapproving na jowa o jowang mamahalin ng mga taong namamahal sayo. Ang taong sasamahan ka kahit gaano kasama na ng ginawa mo dahil nagpaka-pokpok ka na at lahat.
Salamat sa lahat ng mga nagmamahal. Aaminin ko noong mag-18 ako, ginusto ko rin ng mga kakornihan gaya ng pagsasayaw kasama ang tatay at ng mga malalapit na kaibigan. My 18th birthday celebration eventually became disastrous. But this night is totally making up for it.
Nakasayaw ko ang tatay ko at ang mga malalapit na kaibigan. At higit sa lahat ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagmamahal na pumapalibot sa akin. And to think I was planning not to celebrate this year. No regrets!
This year, I will take more risks. I will travel more just as I have always dream of. I will have my own pendong peace. I will love. I will hate. I will be angry. I will be sad. I will get everything I deserve. I don't even know what I deserve.
This will be my year.
For the annual current events-related wish: I wish for World peace, economic stabilty, sustainable development, abolishment of poverty and for the UN to accomplish its Milennium Goals.
Oh di ba, nakakadugo ang aking wishes.
Good times. Good company. Good year.

Kasalang Catamora at Boivin-Sicart
Matagal ko nang gustong sumulat kung gaano kasaya ang kasal nina Anna at Jeremy. Gusto ko sanang isulat ang lahat ng kaganapan, bawat oras kung kakayanin. Pero sa sobrang saya, hindi ko alam kung saan sisimulan.Pero heto, susubukan ko na.
Sa pagpaplano ng kasal na iyun, masasabi naming kinarir namin ng bongga ang "production" na iyun. Hahaha. Halos gabi-gabi kaming nag-uusap ni Jk ng mga kailangan gawin para sa kasal na iyun. At aaminin ko, nuong pumasok ang 2009, hindi ko inisip ang birthday ko. Ang una kong inisip ay ikakasal na ang kaibigan namin.
Nakakawindang. Hahaha. Hindi man ako yumaman sa pagbuhos ng effort, alam ko naman na lubos naming napaligaya sina Jeremy at Anna. At higit sa lahat, lahat kami nag-enjoy kahit na maraming technical difficulties na nangyari.Maraming drama ang sumapit sa aming magkakaibigan sa kalagitnaan ng pagpaplano. Sa totoo lang, isang bonggang drama lang. Yung iba, mga nakaraang bubog na pasulpot-sulpot para lang mang-asar at guluhin ang aming mga utak. Kaya itong pagpaplano ay parang naging therapy na rin sa mga sawi at feeling sawi.
Work can sometimes help you move on. Nagagawang isantabi ang mga damdamin para matapos ang trabaho at makamit ang mithiin.
Charot! Ang dadrama na naman nito.
At the end of the day, fabulosa pa rin.
Masayang masaya ang gabing iyun. Hindi sapat ang mga salita kung gaano ako kasaya. Iyun ay isang gabi na punong-puno ng pagmamahal at kaligayahan.
Para kay Anna,
Roommate! Unang roommate ko sa Makiling. Grabe, isang ganap na ginang ka na!!!
Para kay Jeremy,
Alagaan mo ng sobra si Anna. Baka ipatawag namin si Bruno. Hehehe.
Magtagal kayo habambuhay. Mahal ko kayo.

Bulaga and True Blood
Ang buhay nga naman, sa isang pitik lang bigla na lang may nagbabago. Yung mga akala mong walang nararamdaman ay biglang nagiging tao.
Nakakagulat lang ang mga bagay-bagay. Pero kailangan nating magpatuloy.
----------
I have been watching True Blood with Manong. It is really awesome. It's a vampire series by HBO. It is nothing like Twilight. It beats Edwards Cullen's glittered body.
It stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
WARNING: Anna Paquin is oozing with hotness.
And yeah, lots of sex scenes in EVERY episode.

Isab's Oh-So-Almost-Comprehensive 2008 Recap
Bare with me. This is a LONG post.
I called the last post the "lazy yearender" because I was really planning to make a comprehensive 2008 recap whatchamacallit. So comprehensive, I wanted it to be a daily thing. Pero gago ka ba Isabelle? Siyempre hindi! Dahil karamihan sa mga araw na iyun ay nasa bahay nagpapakababoy. Kaya naisipan ko na lang na monthly ang gagawin ko. Sigurado akong marami na akong nakalimutan, lalo na sa mga naunang buwan. Pero balang araw, habang nag-iinuman tayo, bigla ko na lang maalala ang kung ano mang okasyon at magugulat na lang kayo na naalala ko iyun.
Here it is!
January
- It's my favorite month! It was the month I became a man. I turned 21 then 7 days later, Papa turned 43.
February
- It was my first time to go out on Valentine's day. Although it was unplanned, it was still fun. I had a gown made by Santi for the Diplomats' Ball. I didn't notice that my placecard was spelled wrong until Pol pointed out while showing him the picture. Hahaha.
- I love March because the climate screams vacation even if you're still stuck in school accomplishing all the shitnitz that's needed to be accomplished. This was the month I experienced the worst stage fright ever and it did not even happen onstage. But I'll never forget the Ultimate Zambales trip.
- April was a roller coaster ride. Iyun lang ang masasabi ko.
May
- This was a month of recovery. I was mostly out of the house because I can't bear staying at home. I stayed at the Matimtiman Mansion then at Eisa's. The latter part of this month was really busy. Nakawiwindang.
- Action-packed month! I don't know how I was able to balance my internship, Labfest rehearsals, Spanish Classes and school. It was a relief when it ended.
July
- What can I say about July... maraming bukingan. Iyun.
August
- August was the calm before the storm. Malumanay ang buwan na ito dahil ang mga sumunod ay sobrang nakakaloka. This was the month that I treated myself to a perm! Sobrang sulit talaga! I love Ria of Tony and Jackey!
- Heto na yun, sunod-sunod ang mga adventure. Most of the time, I'd be at JK's for raket-related sleepovers. My negotiating skills were pushed to the limits. I had to talk to my professors about my crazy schedule and ask them to reschedule a quiz or reporting so that I won't miss any. Hahaha.
- How did I survive October? Let me count the ways...
I seriously didn't feel I had a sembreak. October was like June. I had to balance Rhino rehearsals, volunteer work for Pelicula, finals, parties and supporting friends in Fashion Week
November
- In my many many many years as a student, I have never missed a first day of class. Iba na talaga ang kapangyarihan ni Jk!
- Yehey December! 'Tis the season to chubby, fa lalalala lalala la!!!! I believe I gained a lot of weight this month and it all went to my belleh! Christmas parties galore! Drinking galore! Most dramatic moment in a family scenario!
In fairness, napagod ako sa kakagawa ng post na ito. May mga litratong kinuha ko pa sa kung kani-kaninong multiply at fezbuk. This post was 3 days in the making. Hahaha!
And so...
2008 was fun. Hahaha. Napagod na ako, wala na akong masabi. Seriously, it was fun. It was full of ups and downs, roller coaster ride.
Ang kaso, lagi kong nararamdaman na may darating na pababa. Yung tipong kapag nakasakay ka sa roller coaster nakikita mo yung drop tapos pinipilit mong ihanda yung tiyan para hindi umakyat sa kung saan man aakyat. Pero kahit anong handa mo, hindi pa rin sapat, masakit pa rin sa tiyan. Pero matatawa ka na lang pagkatapos ng buong ride.
Ganoon ang nangyari, sinubukan kong paghandaan lahat ng drama. Pero hindi, tinamaan pa rin ako ng bongga. Pero kapag inaalala ko ngayon, napapangiti na lang ako at nasusundan ng tawa. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger, sabi nga ng kung sino man nagsabi noon. Tatay ko ata iyun, o baka narinig niya lang din.
I do not know what 2009 will bring. I'm sure of some things:
Basta sa taong ito, kakabugin natin ang dapat na kabugin. In 2009, I will be rolling in awesomeness. At sabi nga ni JK, ang theme sa darating na taon ay
ALL'S MINE '09
Manigong Bagong Taon sa ating lahat!!!!
