i got over you..dude

this song keeps playing in my mind...& i carry a huge obnoxious grin whenever it does. *:)
get it?

Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

Packed your bags and walked away.

There was nothing I could say.

And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

So did my eyes so I could see

That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

Well I'm putting my heart back together,

'Cause I got over you.

Well I got over you.

I got over you.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

christening baby miell

february 3, 2008

i mentioned before that 2 of my bestfriends were pregnant & were expecting on the same month. saleng had baby miell & shiela had baby drew just last december.

baby miel was christened a catholic last feb 3. saleng is rayne's godmother so i was no longer a candidate for the role. alex is hehe. nevertheless, ninang or not, it didn't matter. i'm always here for saleng & her baby boy anytime.

the proud parents
i am envious 2 of my bestfriends had a boy. i prayed for a boy when i got pregnant. but when i had rayne, who's part boy in naughtiness anyways haha!, i stopped asking. i would not trade my genius child for another. i do think having a girl instead of a boy is better. she wouldn't need a father for a role model. effortless indeed. *:)

disney on ice in manila!

january 26, 2008

my daughter's first! oh boy i was so excited that day for my little rascal. i brought along my my nieces. i would've brought everyone if only the seat prices weren't too expensive! i got us the P1250 seats each. and my daughter, remarkably taller than those of the usual 2yo's, exceeded the allowable height for the free seating so i had to pay for hers too.

we were endowed with inspirations from 4 of disney's notable movies. 1st was lion king, then little mermaid, lilo & stitch then lastly, 101 dalmatians. my doting little daughter clapped & danced along, evidently enjoying every bit of the 1 hour stint.
only had my camphone to shoot this *:(
i remember our parents bringing us to the araneta center for disney on ice shows when we were still kids. it was my turn to bring my own kid this time. now i wondered about the extent our parents can do for their children, spending alot of their time & money, out of what's necessary, just to afford us moments, cherishable, unforgettable.
i know i've got big shoes to fill, 2 pairs actually, being the mom & at the same being the dad to rayne. but i know as well that i'm undeniably doing a pretty good job raising a kid on my own.. *:)

nik's 11th birthday

january 20, 2008

my niece nik is somehow the little kid in me. she's an animal lover like moi. she's building her mini-zoo at home actually, from fishes to birds and what-have-you.

and for her 11th bday, she wanted to see the dolphin show at the metrowalk ortigas. the 20th was the last showing so we celebrated her birthday a day in advance.
Hongkong's dolphin shows still superceded my expectations of this local stint. the pool was too small & the venue was all cramped up. i enjoyed it nevertheless because my daughter did. it was her first time to see dolphins & seals anyways.

the show got done in 1 hr, then we spent our late lunch at the yellow cab across metrowalk.
waiting for dessert
having nowhere to go, we all decided to go to tiendesitas & to fun ranch after.

back home the next day, nik had her birthday party. her father-side cousins & relatives came & celebrated. love you always nik!

post-wedding stuff plus trisha's 12th birthday

january 13, 2008

my daughter & nieces spent the remaining hours dipping by the hotel's guest pool. just wanted to post these cute photos of my kid before we all went home.

as soon as our relatives left, we loaded off the wedding gifts from cars & started unpacking them one by one.

this part was fun. sam must've opened more than 10 gifts of rice cookers! haha!
the groom helped, finally

it's obviously difficult to backtrack events like this in my life. i've been delaying too many posts but i still have these pictures stored in my laptop to remind me of them.

anyhow, there are so many more backtracking to do. i appreciate i have people who religiously read my blog but i want to point out that this blog's intention is for myself, my journal of every monumental episode of my life. something to read about when i grow old, for my daughter as well when she begins to use the internet...etc...

well, through pit falls & high rises, i would love to blog till i can. til next post!

from the very famous blog of brian sorrel. follow the link in the subject to get to know who he is. i'm sure you've seen him in the news already lately.

We all have opinions.

We all need to be heard.

Blogging offers anyone with access to a computer the opportunity to put their message out into cyberspace.

So people like DJ Montano have to be careful now.

Because you never know when when someone will start a blog on you.

If you deserve one.

So keep your noses clean.

Treat others with respect and dignity.

Love your neighbours.

Respect your friends and lovers.

Don't steal.

Don't cheat.

Try not to lie.

Because no one deserves it.

No one deserves to lose everything at the hands of your boyfriend.

And nowadays, you could just wake up one morning and your dirty laundry is all over the Internet.

On a blog.

A blog about you.
