Page 1: because i got tired of life lessons

im trying something else.

well first of all, Happy Chinese New Year!:)

and because i was not able to start writing the 'pages' of my 'online book' on the first day of January, I will make use of the Chinese/Lunar calendar to start this new trend on my blog entries. besides, today is such a special day. because. *drum roll* i already know how to cook! :D and i would like to thank my best friend for that :D :D :D

my first product: spaghetti! which means i can now cook for special occasions or if I just feel like eating spaghetti with lots of meat and hotdogs :D and yes, i am very happy about it :)

you see, having such a 'sheltered' life, i never really learned how to cook, wash clothes and iron them. I grew up having people around me doing it for me. and my parents always took care of us as well, the only thing that my mother asks me to do is to clean my room or the rooms of the second floor, but apart from that, you can say I am quite spoiled. And even though I left for the cities early, which could have helped me in the independence part, I had a yaya with me who does everything and I lived practically with family who also provided me with the basic needs plus the fact that there are a lot of fast foods everywhere.

i never wanted to cook. i was quite convinced that I would have somebody to cook for me, I would marry someone who knows how to cook and who's good at it, that was my plan. :p

until i had a bet with my best friend about losing weight with the stakes of me having to cook if i lost the bet. i was actually confident that i would win but thinking about me cooking makes me really scared because I know I won't be able to do it right even if his sister would help me and would actually teach me her adobo recipe. i wont be able to do it right because i dont even know how to open the stove, how to fry, how to chop -- i have negative knowledge when it comes to kitchen stuff. That's whyyy i convinced my best friend to help me enhance my life skill in the kitchen department. and viola! today is my first cooking day and i did more than survive :p

so yes, today is a very special day because apart from starting a new blog entry trend, i have gained a life skill achievement :) hooray for that :) [which gives me an idea for a life lesson entry :p]

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

FRIDAY i decided to stay at my cousin's house last friday night in pasig. there would be a birthday celebration for our 5 year old cousin by saturday. i figured that ortigas extension is nearer taytay rizal than boni. had bonding moments with ate erik <3 SATURDAY ate erik and tita nol went out of the house at around 8:30 am for ate erik's class. woke up at around 11:30 am. my cousin told me that "ate baka pumasok ung tubig sa bahay" started piling up things. at around 12 nn the water started coming in. everything was so fast. we were so busy preventing everything from getting wet the water was rising really fast. ankle - knees - waist sort of panicking cause everything started floating. we decided to go out of the house and started getting as much things as we can. th...
