blogging

...that is the amount of time between my last blog post and this one.

The description on the right (about the blogger) is just fitting. Lazy. No one is really ever too busy?! (or so I tell myself!)

So, just like before, I will try to squeeze in some life moments into a single post.

...
...

...actually, I don't think I can. I tried to look into my iPhoto and can't really decide which ones to post. There were so many places, a lot of new people, different kinds of experiences, fun times, and misadventures.

Just the same, that same year -- in November, I got a job in a start-up BPO company, stayed there for almost 2 years (with 3 months off LOL!) and I have to say it was the best days of my "working" life. I might do an entire post on that after this not-so-lengthy make-up post.

I have re-discovered my artistic self (which I will have to do a whole separate blog post about, too!), and traveled to many new places. I'm actually out of the country right now. All of these boring details on the next posts to come. This is just some preppin-up, 'coz I swear by my 7-year-old laptop that I will be a devoted blogger from now on.


Yeah, that's me and my trusty mac. 

"I will never let go, Mac... I'll never let go."

No One BLOGS Anymore!

blogging

The latest entries I've seen from other blogs were way back 2011!

And I speak for myself when I say --I blame Facebook!

Anyway I was thinking of what I have not blogged about since my hiatus, and there were some few significant events. I actually posted them in Posterous --which now just says Good night, Posterous! I was not even given the chance to back-up my files!

So I will be stating a few:


July 14, 2012. My grandparents celebrated their 52nd Wedding Anniversary!


August 3, 2012. My Lolo/Tatay passed away. My grandmother's been sad and sickly since then.




August 13, 2012. My monster mom, who fondly calls me her princess and was sorry she did not adopt me when I was younger, passed away too. This photo was taken in 2010.


I also had a puppy! His name was HAPPY. Sadly, he passed away too.

So, basically, I remembered only the sad events. It's not that nothing GOOD happened, maybe they're just not that significant. ^_^

POSTING AGAIN!!!

blogging

Yes, I am ready to BL❤G again!

And since POSTEROUS closed their site, and I've really been wanting to blog again, which better site to use than blogger? :)

But I had to change my blog name since I find the previous one so lame (kristellerain.blogspot.com) Anyway I've had that since June 6, 2005, I think.

I also don't want the rain anymore, so I'm recycling my Posterous site name.

It appeals better to me.

I am so back. =)




8th week

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

blogging

if i slept 4PM and i woke up 11PM because i work 4AM and i am eating 12 midnight, do i call it breakfast? or dinner?


just a thought...

anyways, finally blogging... again. my title's cause: it's the start of the 8th week of the year for me. will be working crazy again after i blog. i don't think i'm liking it so much anyway because there never was a week that wasn't absent, or late at the very least.

btw, i just had the sweetest dream... it's too sweet i can't spill it out :)

so, will get ready now, as i had just made an excuse that i have no time to chat... (on FB with someone professing his great admiration to me BEFORE --creepy coz i don't even know him)

mamma mia!

Monday, August 16, 2010

blogging

that's what's on again...


i could watch Mamma Mia! all day. everyday. it has songs and Meryl Streep (and Pierce Brosnan dancing at the end)

*****

finally got the time to blog. i miss blogging. i have a lot of blog notes on my phone, i just don't feel like writing it down when i'm online...

anyways, been busy with life. living each day just to get through it. really hate routines.

i really want to change my blog skin. i'm just too lazy lately.

1235

airplane

that was the number of visits my dark and twisty blog has got... had i checked a little sooner i would have been too happy for myself for being the 1234th.


so anyway, it surprised me that at least 1234 times, some people got this feeling of boredom which made them just click on some links. like mine. :)

flight ticket at P2.60... unbelievable right? but i got them :) special thanks to my sister, who's ever a spoiler. (will tell more come october)

i have a crush... (*kilig*) but i am of course, as ever, in control of my emotions so after 2 weeks or so (sometimes even less), wala na naman yun. hehe. so as of now, i love listening to the song "we could be in love" because the singers sounds like they're soo in love. and i'll just be contented listening. meaning: i don't want to feel what they're feeling. if you want to ask me why, come on --ask me WHY. i won't mind.

i think i'll be blogging again tomorrow same time -so i have to go sleep now. :)

friends and grey's

Saturday, May 08, 2010

airplane

i have 137 friends and it makes me sad :( i was browsing through my friend's list and i didn't know where to start deleting...


i just don't want to be like one of those people who has, like, 200 friends --half of which she hasn't even met. and you call it friends list??

i mean, i don't want to miss out on the rants and ramblings of the people who matter to me posts about, and in facebook, you will be opening a feed crowded by people you don't even know, because they were on your list.

i know. i have these lists: acquaintances, bahrain friends, church family, kins and clans, formers and interests. i know i can just click on my list so their feed will be loaded on my page, BUT still ---can't i just open my homepage and see what i want to see?

and besides, you will be opening your page to those people --or i mean, I will be opening MY page to those people i haven't even met?... i know people who are judgmental, they tend to judge on others' post or comment, or page. and i'm not fond of being judged by people who haven't even met me. i don't care about what they say, i just don't want to give them the chance.

and if you are reading this... do not talk to me about my blog. it embarrasses me. seriously. there was this one time (at band camp --jk) when somebody mentioned my blog to me, and we aren't even friends. i know him and yet him talking to me about my rants here, is really not a thing i would want to stay for a chat with.

so, today i went halfway season 2 of grey's anatomy (for the 5th time i guess) it started last week when i didn't have much to do in the house. because i finished all the other things i had to. and now, i'm super bored. because i got up to eat and don't feel like going back to bed to watch again.

i took off the jalousies of the bedroom window and i saw the stars (*smiley here*) i missed them when i was in Bahrain. and i saw a distant airplane. and i was nostalgic. i thought i was back in BH and the loneliness just engulfed me, i really thought I was back in BH! because those are the kinds of plane i would see from the car on the way home. they are that far away that i had to drive around the airport, which is on a separate island, just to see them close. my friend, jonathan, would ask why. of course, he was wondering why... and i just told him i needed to check if they were okay, coz they were my link to the Philippines, they would take me back home. he just knew airplanes mean a lot to me.

so even here, in the phils., i still see planes like a vessel of hope :) i already mentioned one time that one of my friends caught me staring pensively at an airplane passing by. i'm just really wondering if the passengers inside are happy, coz they were traveling, or are going to meet someone special on their destination. or sad, because they have been taken away from their home.

so... grey's infected me. meredith said... in the absence of hope, i need to stay in bed and feel like i might die today. which brings me back to -- me being rejected!

who --in their right mind-- would apply in a call center with a hoarse voice?... of course, i didn't apply. they re-scheduled me for an interview which i didn't show up on months ago. i didn't know there was gonna be a voice/speech recognition exam. i heard my own voice on the headset --it sounded like someone was gasping for air! so it went until the interview, and i forgot to mention, i had so much use of my voice last week, it was on short supply this week. i was so confident! grrrr!

so they called me --and said "hey, guess what? you aced the exams, you got high scores on the computer simulation, and english literacy, and your typing skill's above average, but you just don't have a clear voice. sorry, try again after three months."

which got me singing --it's my first broken heart... my dreams have dimmed and ended, it's my first broken heart... i don't know how to mend it, tell me where do i start?...

what to do. send me a message and tell me what to do! don't post on my page, i WILL kill you.

baby P and grandma Amelia

blogging

i've read the articles about them on the periodical today, as my routine is always the same - house, pass by a cold store to buy iced tea, work, get the periodicals, sit, and read. i'd be glad to finish the sudoku on it, coz that's just what i do -- sit.


i have been close to my grandma, because she was the one who's seen us grow. although she wasn't as doting as a normal one would be, she would always ensure our well-being. she wasn't the demonstrative type who'd hug and spoon-feed you. but i love her just the way she is. if she were a little different, we would have grown SPOILED BRATS. i'm sure. i can say we are spoiled, but we aren't brats. if she would succumb to our whining, we really will not be the way we are today. 

modesty aside, my siblings and i, as far as i can say, we were humbled by our childhood. not much privileges of a normal child whose parents were both abroad, not much new toys or nice school things because our grandma prefers Baclaran than SM! but by that, she has established in us a simple way of living. not too pompous, and not boastful. i can almost imagine how boastful my brothers would be if they were given all the good toys? kids are like that... and we appreciate every little luxury that comes our way. because our grandma taught us that.

maybe that's the reason why i have a big heart for the elderly. i know my brothers do too, as they tell me if they see an old person and they feel pity if he/she looks weary. and that's why i was touched by grandma Amelia's story. she was a blogger, (yeah i was shocked, too) 95-year-old blogger. telling her life before the people, inspiring and encouraging with every single day she has lived to tell. and now she's gone. she logged off for the last time. she has lived her life to the fullest. and she had been given the time to tell it.

the other person on my title is the complete opposite... really heartbreaking to tell. he's a 17-month old baby. ruthlessly abused by his mother, and her beau. HE WAS JUST 17-MONTHS. he doesn't know how it was to be angry. kids, are forgiving. do all you want to do to them, but they will still love to have your hug. he doesn't know how the world worked. how cruel some people are, and unfortunately for him, he was living with two of them under the same roof. but he does know how to love. and no one he loved gave him back the same.

he lived only for 17 months. he wouldn't be seen biking, wooing girls, getting married, and become old. he wouldn't be heard singing, or even be introduced to cellphone! he will never know the internet. and he couldn't make a blog anymore, just like grandma Amelia... yet he touched lives. only the painful way...

i feel so terrible. not for him, but because of him.

this brought me a thought. young or old. happy or sad. in agony or in waiting... all of us will go one day. what have we left behind? all our riches, all the fame, all the things of this world will just pass away. years will come, and all that's left are memories. memories of the happy days, and some sad. why not make it each day worthwhile? one really never knows what tomorrow will bring. only God knows.

finally (again)

blogging

i'm so done... but i'm not so satisfied. so maybe in just a few months, i'll have to change all these again.

but i'm really okei with it.

so,... story time.

this week, my friends and I went to powerplant mall. stroll lang, wala naman kasing mga bala. i liked it better than shang, because it's more liblib. whattaword.

i mean, iya villania's being made up in aldo and they seem to be having a shooting but no one, not one human, dares stop just to watch her. like it's all natural for them. celebrities go in the cinema without minding fans screaming their hearts out and mobbing them to death.

i stood next to heart in nbs' counter and they're like invisible (only i am in awe -- i don't get to see them everyday, mind you!)

but the real fun that night was when the mall was about to close. the lights were going out, and in came dolphy, walking soooooo slowly. not intentionally, but because of age. so we had a joke running on our way home. if you wanna see dolphy, run into the mall just when it's about to close. he's sure to come. (-- it's a joke, dumdum!)

one downer: they don't have plato wraps. pesto.

finally...

blogging

i'm almost done! just my marquees, and my prompt and i can sleep well. and:

i need to put back my tagboard or else i will have to settle with a guestbook, which is the last thing i would ever want on my site. it's primitive. it's for big sites. cute sites need doodle boards or taggies.

what else, my hit counter restarted because i can't remember my username on their site. and green? well, it's the less eye-straining non-too-digital counter i have seen, so let it be.

and i'll be working out on my music box real soon, coz i really want the orchestra version of tears to be my bg music. and my cursor. :-)

finally posting...

blogging

i've been dying to change my blog's skin for so long yet i can't find the time, and i'd also get sentimental because it would mean saying goodbye to this pink page forever! i mean, i would never dare use this again if i plan to change this, right? it's really cute and i really spent a lot of time and effort doing this. and maybe that's also the reason why i can't come to changing this. i don't have time, and more time to have that "effort".

yesterday, it started to rain. they said that it was the first rain of may which signifies the beginning of the rainy season. *goody* i'm really excited for the rainy season... there are a lot of reasons. one would be the change in wardrobe.(except for the skirt, teehee.)

if i were to rate my summer this year, so far, it'd be at (uhm, from 1-10, 1 being the lowest..) *drum rolls* S-E-V-E-N. not bad, for me. but not yet satisfying. but i'm ok with that. so far.

i've to do something else.

on a rainy Sunday

blogging

blogging from tita par's room. i helped her make this internet work, so i'm given the chance to use it ;-)

nothing's new, oh but i got my credit card this week. and my first purchases for it were ice cream and a lot of food...

anyway, regarding work... the hostility was lessen this week thanks to my whopping approvals. but the few past weeks were hell. i get up & go to work and wonder "why am i going to work? nobody there likes me, let alone talk to me!" and i go home feeling soooooooooooo alone. but lately things are lighter, thanks to those new trainees. they're just super nice.

so... i'll blog again when i have so much time. i'm so deprived lately. deprived of chatting, deprived of sleep and even deprived of texting! whew... it's almost vacation time anyway!
