nomadic ramblings: December 2005

Saturday, December 31, 2005

goodbye 2005! hello 2006!

I cannot believe that in just an hour 2005 will be officially over.
This year was probably the toughest one for me, especially with 1 more hurrah of a kamalasan that has been conveniently trailing me since the past week.
I cannot blog that much,as I am pressed for time (need to bake something in 30 mins), but I can really say that I am so relieved that this year is soon going to be over and done with! If you want something deep, I suggest you read my buddy Cheeky Mon's blog.

Yes, this year has been my "quarter-life" crisis year. So many things happened and I thank God for the moments and experiences and people I've met, friends I got re-aqcuainted with.
In the coming year, I would like to make a pledge to become a better person (how cliche), and be more positive. I don't want to be a scrooge anymore but I cannot assure you it'll be 24/7 as I'm sure I'd have my "topak" moments every now and then.

2006 is all about change, and as the song goes, Change is GOOD!

Happy New Year !!!

miss scrooge

warning: this one's full of angst. (what's new!!!)

dreading the weekend... i feel like such a scrooge. I'm not even excited about anything.

yes, the past week was just the ultimate HELL. I can't believe December is just passing me by. Yes I've been doing some retail therapy but I have to admit that I'm more of a giver this time of the year. Well might as well give and give to myself anyway. arrrrgh. it's been 2 days... if i can train myself a little bit more.

boohoo! i've been a crappy, troubled child eager for a soulful connection this year. i've been flattered left and right, but what good does flattery dowhen you get to the core of what you're trying to get to?

if YOU'RE reading this, i want you to know that YOU made me feel the ugliest this year!!!

here's to f*ckin' a$&h@l%$!!!!

diddlysquat

this entry was inspired by donnah's WANTS.

i remember an old friend of mine saying im like a pendulum (not literally, stupid.) with my situation -- been here, been that.

have i met THE ONE and in some screwed up way fate twists things, my sanity and could have let him slip away? is my THE ONE lurking around waiting for theright moment to strike? Like dons, when I realize that moment, I want everything to go hazy and people diminished to a blur, with just the two of us standing right smack in the middle, cameras zooming in.androse petals (white and red) showering from up above. and the moment, heaven forbid, to be sealed, in the cliche of all cliches...a kiss. soft, slow, tender, with love emanating everywhere, (rays of light now, light's person)sending tingles to my spine.

One thing's for sure though, I don't want to settle !

And holy crap. what the hell was that about?!

I am officially, officially, experiencing quarter-life crisis. I know, like Ther, I should not settle. There are 18 days left of this damn hell of a year it has been. And as I reflect, (oh boy what reflections!) I know I've got to get my ass moving and quit slugging along. But please, cut me some slack and let me linger, soak in whatever fulfilling self-indulgent bad vibes beforeI let go.
Somehow, I have this secret wish of Ashton Kutcher appearing out of nowhere (at 11:59 p.m. of the 31st of December 2005)telling me I got Punk'd.

holy crap.

2006, let's be better.

Holy Crap!

I got the break that I have looong wanted over the weekend! Nothing but sheer good,clean fun with friends I haven't seen in quite a long time. Plus, throw in the sun, the beach and some beachy couture some gin & juice and good old trusty Miguel, Marl and Winston, Joey's Elle and People magazines, and paparazzis and camwhores like me, what have you got? PURE BLISS!
Some insights this weekend:
Laughter is THE BEST MEDICINE. Especially if:
1. You're at your EXCORSHUN
2. The phytochemist Cyrus Almuranas is on board
3. You are labeled as : Rosy Joyce (when everyone elsehas been calling you by your first name the whole freaking day!)
4. You're sippin on Gin and Juice (lay back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind!!!)
5. Somebody tells you you look like you're lactating & it's disturbing
6. Ther lays a peck on your cheek every so often you either feel loved or violated!
7. You accumulate 500 (or so) pictures and you're in about 80% of them (haha!)
8. You meet fat kids who throw insults at themselves such as :
a. " andito na si taba!" (the speaker being fat himself)
b. a fat kid is named Poknut and his friends keep shouting --anak ka ng poknut!
c. a fat kid making pilit his fat pomeranian to take a dip
d. a bodyguard telling the fat kid to have his pomeranian as their pulutan (Gawin na nating pulutan yan!)

9. You are mooned by one big plump fresh piece of ass (HAHA!) covered pink poison studded shorts

Hahaha! I got mooned!

Here fatty fatty!

10. You listen to 80's and beerhouse music during the afternoon, random boyband tunes (yes, BSB, Nsync & 98 Degrees are the best!)all day, plus hard core rage music and good old gangsta music whenever and have KING OF WISHFUL THINKING on repeat mode!
11. You have an underwater camera to continue your camwhore moments
12. You get a nosebleed moment because of some conyo mestizo dude whose kid has a personal photographer, a body guard, a yaya and someone to lather some sunblock on his back
13. You let the waves carry you off to the shore
14. Cy and his Borgy moments
15. You're having breakfast with GUS! (hee Hi Gus if you're reading this!)

Alternatively, it is not cool when:
1. You run out of booze and lights are off even before 12 midnight! (ok lang at least we all had a hearty breakfast the next day c/o Manang [Gus if you're reading this, ipipirate ko na si Manang ha] and we were able to enjoy the sun and sand a while longer)
2. People horde their yosi (uuuy aminin ayaw mag-share ng iba nung gabi na! ;p )
3. Sea insects bite you
4. It drizzles a bit (even just for a while) while you're sprawled out, DYING to get a TAN!
5. something unhooks/snaps!
6. Your Ipod resets... to NOTHING!
7. People from work hound you with phone calls
8. You accidentally sip stale gin thinking it was water... at freakin 3 am!
9. Some kupal dude shows up and has the guts to tell you -- sinusundan niyo ata kami ah!
10. Everything you want on the menu is out of stock.
** yeah well they miraculously came up with hot choco and chicken cannolini (? uhm tama ba)11. It's so freaking traffic on the way home
