Euns: Ok.
Den: Ang mga usapan dati, "Wow, ang ganda naman nyan suot mo... anong dahon yan? Bayabas? Wow." Tapos may magazine pa na puro dahon lang ang pictures.

NO MORE GAMES

Dear Eunice Zuleika,
Here is your horoscope
for Tuesday, March 27:

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain when it comes to calling someone's bluff. In the process, you'll realize how low the stakes were in the first place. Could it be that you're done playing games?

Dear Eunice Zuleika,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Tuesday, March 27:

You've got a way with words, as well as glances, smiles, light but meaningful touches -- you get the picture. Maybe it's because you're reading their cues like a book, making every response obvious and natural.

Pahabol Katatawanan

[naglakad si Elliot patungo sa isang grupo, nilapitan ang lalaking nakapula at sinambit na...]

"Boss, un bill namin."

Ok naman sana. Ang problema, di sya waiter.

Alarming News

Atoy just texted me that he might also be enrolling next school year with Sam. OMG. My life's in danger. Law school, hold me tight... it's gonna be a bumpy bumpy ride. Haha

Miss you guys and well, kahit mahirap I shall welcome you with open arms.

Dahil Sweet si Patring.

Masaya ako na naging bahagi ako ng kaligayahan mo, kahit feeling ko lagi nalang nalalapastangan ang pagkatao ko pag kayo ang kasama ko, hahaha. At kahit hindi ko naman alam lahat ng nangyayari sa iyo, gusto ko lang magpakasenti at ipaalam sa iyo na isa ako sa mga FANS ng iyong pag-recover, hindi dahil sa namimiss ko ang masayahing Eunice na nagdadala ng katatawanan sa madla, kundi dahil bilang kaibigan mo, naniniwala ako na you really deserve to be happy. Yung totoo at hindi pang-guni-guni lang. :)

-Patring's Comment in Multiply

Kung Accurate Lang ang Horoscope

Today is a wonderful day for you in which you will be richly rewarded for your gentle and sensual nature. Love is coming your way, Eunice, so be on the lookout to receive what you deserve. Expose your feelings instead of trying to shelter them from the world. More likely than not, other people are probably feeling similar things, and they will be relieved to hear that they are not alone.

The Me that You Miss

Euns: Oo nga eh, mahirap talaga pag walang closure.
Den: Closure? [starts singing] The CLOSURE i get to you...

[may natira pang tiramisu sa harapan namin]
Colleen: Ano ba, nagkahiyaan pa. Kainin nyo na yan.
Patring: Ah... kaya pala TIRA-misu.

[habangnag-uusap sila tungkol sa GYM]
Sep: Feeling ko nga un atay ko un lumalaki e.
Den: ATAY tayo jan.

Story:
Naglalakad si Pam at Elliot ng may marinig silang tila mga hakbang sa kanilang likuran. Nang kanila itong lingunin ay walang tao. Pinagpatuloy ang paglalakad subalit pinukaw ang kanilang gunita ng tunog ng mas malapit na mga hakbang. Nagkatinginan ang magkaibigan, walang salita salita ay ginawa nila ang nararapat. TUMAKBO sila ng ubod ng tulin.

Ang masaklap, totoong storya ito. Tumakbo sila. Parang Amazing Race slash Shake, Rattle and Roll ang drama. Un na.

Ang aking comment, "Elliot, no matter how fast you run... kung multo un, walang silbi ito."

Euns: I should go on a blind date.
Den: Naggaganon ka?
Euns: Oo, un date with a blind?
Den: Korni. [na walang credibility, di ako nasaktan dahil i know better : see previous conversations]

May isa nanamang cute na bata, Carlo and I were talking about his brother who's into the arts and he told me that he once made a horror short flick starring one of his pamangkins... When the younger pamangkin saw his brother got ran over by a vehicle, may cute syang ginawa... He went to his uncle and said, "Bakit mo sinagasaan si Kuya?" At nagalit sya. Un na. Kids are adorable. TOTALLY.

Colleen: ise-set up kita ng blind date.
Patring: Unang tanong... tao ba yan?
Colleen: Oo naman.
Euns: Gwapo?
COlleen: Wala akong kaibigan na pangit.
Patring: Ano ba kayo, the heart sees beyond the face.
Euns and Colleen: [blank stare]

Prof: [blah blah blah] liquefy... liquidate.
Euns: [whispers] parang juice lang a.
Patty: Bume-blender.
Euns: [does the blender motion]

Yesterday, I was in my pambahay look whom I had an issue with my mom over.

Mom: Anak, baka makalimutan mo magpalit ng pants paglabas mo ganyan itsura mo.
Euns: Ma, ito na isusuot ko.
Mom: Ha? Ang sagwa. Papapasukin ka ba dun?
Euns: Pwede mag-casual.
Mom: Anak, di yan casual... sporty yan.
Euns: [inis look]
Mom: Sige, dalin mo na lang ID mo, baka di sila maniwala na estudyante ka dun.

[pagdating ko ng classroom for the PIL meeting]
Patty: Ayun na, shumo-shorts. [announces to everyone]

At nang gabi na, para lang ma-emphasize ang kamalasan ko. UMULAN PO. Twice. Un second, gabi na at malakas sya ng sobra. There. So much for being in the mood for summer.

May Kulay na mga Pisngi

Romance can be exhilarating and passionate if you're willing to take a
chance. It's time to speak up about your needs. If the quality of your love
life isn't up to par, you need to enforce your own romantic policies.

Well, as a lot of people know by now, MJ and I took time a out and decided to go our separate ways. We're still friends but since the Final Exams are nearing, I needed human warmth and emotional connection, so the other night I decided to go on a blind date... with Mike Lo. We decided to start a relationship there and then. It was a spur of the moment thing, amidst the empty Fita. On March 21st we decided to be each other's "Muffin". It's a relationship with a prescriptive period of 2 months... This summer, since we will not be seeing much of each other, I told him that what's important is EMOTIONAL FIDELITY. Therefore, he can find his ANIMAL WARMTH in the mountains while I find my HUMAN WARMTH here in Manila. We're both secure in our feelings that we promised to think of each other even if we're with someone or "something" [in Mike's case, haha] else. It's a perfect scenario, an open relationship that's gonna be fun fun fun. So there.

Euns: Oo, halimbawa pag nasa sinehan ako, iisipin ko na lang na ikaw un katabi ko. Tapos sasabihin sakin nun guy, "Teka, SINO KA BA? Bakit ka nakikikain ng popcorn ko?!"

Ralph was trying to lure me into going back into a relationship with him after our "one day" stint by announcing that he could make me happy and that if i feel stressed, I should just text him.. to that i replied, "I'll be more stressed if I do that." But I want to thank him for the donut last night which was partly because his perverse needs were gratified. Like what I would always tell Patring and Mike, "I am ready to give way for TRUE LOVE". That's after I made Patring deliver a sweet note to my "muffin" whom i sometimes call "munchkin" just because they sound alike, literally sealed with a kiss. What a lovely relationship.

So there. I am officially "in a relationship", again.

So much for my mantra, "HEALING, LETTING GO and BAWAL MAGKAMALI" for the finals. haha

FINALS Na!

"you're my highlighter, you bring out the most important parts of me"

last night's blind date was a blast. haha

"ang pagpapanggap"
