all that you can't leave behind

hello. i think i'm getting sick of blogging. i dunno. whatever.

my family and i went on a cruise for a week in singapore and thailand... and i had a bblaaast with a capital b!!!!!! singapore's so clean and nice. thailand's just like the philippines. but its way hotter there. thais, singaporeans, indonesians, and all the other asians look way hotter than filipinos. hahaha. i think i'm just getting sick of how filipinos look. they are so cute mehn. i had a crush on a different guy... for every 5 seconds.

we stayed in the ship for 6 days and mehn were there hot people in there. i was so scared we would end up with old people. i always thought that only old, saggy people would go to cruises... but noooo! there were so many hot guys.

and gello! marj! nikki! remember when i asked you guys before why 'bombays' had to look that way? they have super darks skin, especially around the eyes, and smell funny! i was wrong! they can be really hot too! hotter than sayyid, nikki! i'll tell you a story of a hot bombay-ish waiter.

on the first day of the cruise, my sister and i went to the deck and sun-bathed on the pool side. a hot waiter approached us and asked us if we wanted a drink. i didnt want one so he approached my sister. my sister asked for a frozen margarita....

on the last day of the cruise (5 days later), my sister and i went to the deck again and decided to stay there for the last time. the hot waiter again approached us. i said 'no thanks' so he approached my sister. when my sister said 'no thanks' too, he grinned and asked her 'how about another frozen margarita?'

shemmmmaaayyy! i tried to contain my laughter. it was so nakakakilig for my sister. when he left, my sister held my arm and was breathing like a dog. hahahah. she was so kilig. and the waiter didnt even leave-leave. he just stayed a few meters away and stared at the pool. hahahahaha. mehn!

so many hot people... so little time. gello! the arcade is a great place to see hot guys. i love time crisis (a shooting game) so i always dragged my sister to the arcade. i think he was indonesian. he was so cute. my sister and i were so nervous because he was watching from the back. nakakahiya pa si leigh! she accidentally shouted 'die you mother!' buti di niya tinapos yung sentence.

i love that cruise. i hope i get to see those hot people again.

we nicknamed all of our crushes. the arcade guy is edison because he looked like edison chen (host of whatever things). ganun siya ka-hot. one was spongebob because his pants were so low.... pants=squarepants, hence the name. ones tenderly. ones sayyid. 

i dont remember the other ones na. yeah.. they sound kinda stupid. they were all my sister's idea!

I just want to let you know how irresponsible my brother is. I sounded so mean right there but sometimes, I just don’t get why he’s so irresponsible. And it doesn’t seem to bother him.

I think my parents feel the same way too. ‘Cos I remember, back in second year high school, my parents went to the States for 2 months. And instead of leaving the money for the expenses and other stuff with my brother, they left it with me. I was so scared then. They told me to bring X0,000 everyday kasi I’ll never know daw if there will be an emergency. I had this list of what to buy, when to give the maids the palengke money, when to have the gas refilled, and of course, the allowances of my older brother and younger sister. It was so cool. I felt like an adult.

I don’t want to give my brother a bad rep because he’s a nice brother. I’ll just give an example of how he’s so irresponsible. J Here…

Sometimes, he turns the aircon on in his room. He leaves his door open (and sometimes, even the windows). Then, he goes down to get food. If he feels like it, he’ll watch TV downstairs and forget about what he left upstairs. It has happened so many times. I pass by his room, then the door is open. The aircon is on. The windows are open. The bathroom door is open. And the big window inside the bathroom is open too.

I’m such a mother sometimes. Maybe it’s a guy thing. But I don’t want to leave you guys with the thought that my brother’s irresponsible. Well, he is but he’s a really good brother.

I remember during my debut, when he said that at 13, I started experimenting with make-up. Then I shouted a big, loud “no.” Then he says he remembers clearly. And that it was the time na “tumanda na ako.” Aaaawww. I wanna cry. It’s really mababaw but it just touches me that he remembers those stuff pa.

When we were younger pa, grade school I think. He would buy us pizza (with his own allowance) because we always complained that assumption had sucky food.

And one last thing. This morning, I had to go to school for plus points in chemistry. I kind of forgot that since it was a Sunday, the driver wasn’t available. So I went to my brother who was asleep, poked his leg, and told him in a paawa voice (haha, how pathetic) “Kuya, pahatid sa Ateneo.” Then, he stood up and got the car keys.

I love kuya!

can i just rant? i'm so freakin pissed at what my dad always tells me. i know i'm his favorite and all (haha) but i just really have to say this.

my dad hates it when i roll my eyes for whatever reason. he says its mean and rude. well, i know that. rolling the eyes is just a tendency MOST GIRLS have... especially when they're my age.

when i rolled my eyes for some reason awhile ago, he starts this incredibly long sermon about me not growing rich if i keep on acting that way. he said, "if you're always that rude and mean, you'll never grow rich."

THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF. i know its rude and mean! i try to avoid doing it naman. i just cant control it sometimes. but what really bugs me is that all sermons have to end with the "you'll never grow rich" part.

dad... i want you to know that money is the least of my worries. if i had to eat sardines and salted eggs my whole life, i wouldnt mind. i'm not the i-want-to-be-rich type of person. i know lots of our family friends who are struggling with money but are happy nonetheless. and i'm pretty sure most of the are happier than me. money just doesnt matter much to me. as long as i grow old and happy with my family and friends, you can keep all the money to yourself.

i know what i'm saying is kind of mean. but i just dont like it that money matters to him that much. he just wants me to be happy when i grow up... i know that. but i dont want to be rich. i just want to have a decent home, be able to eat three full meals a day, and send my kids to a good school. i don't think you need to be rich to be able to do those things.

even after the lifting of 1017, our country's still so messed up. now, people are trying to prove that the stating of 1017 was unconstitutional. i know you have a right to do those things but come on... its over. you have better things to put your efforts into. and if you really have the brains, why not use it to think of solutions to our country's problems? i mean, it's better than adding more and more problems for the government.

and now that i think of it, GMA kind of had a point when she called for a state of emergency. people were in the streets, causing trouble and chaos. i bet if she didn't implement 1017, she would still be blamed if people died or got injured.

all things just have to be blamed on GMA. that's something i really, seriously hate about most people in our country. when the stampede in ultra happened, they blamed GMA for not addressing poverty in our country. hello? you can't expect the country to change from a third world to a first world country overnight... not even in 6 years. it needs time, patience, lots of over things, but most of all, SUPPORT from the filipino people. all these people do is bring our president down. how do we expect to progress? mehn, it's so frustrating.
