what made my day part 2 and adi's tagetty tag tag

ello... read ur post about dun sa **********... that was fun isn't it?.. seen ur pics.. chubby pero pretty...

- pexer


see this up here ^.. this right here made my day. wait, scratch that, it made my whooole month! it may even last till the end of the year! i was doing my usual browsing in Pinoyexchange then a box pops out saying i have a pm. so ok, i click on it and someone sent me this message. kahit mejo may sablay, ok na din. i was smiling from ear to ear, heck, pati pwet ko tumatawa. haha.

well, my profile had the addy of my old multiply account with pics from two years ago. i have to admit i was chubby. well, not chubby, more like huge in my standards.. that's why i enrolled in a gym. i treadmilled, ellipticalled, stationary biked, rowed and cross trained my ass off for the last 8 months. it kind of paid off. now, im addicted to my morning exercise.

that rules off the chubby part. and leaves the pretty part. wheee! someone thinks im purty. that's something i dont hear everyday.

thanks to you, you who sent me the pm, for you made me look forward, instead of dwell in the past.

What do you regard as the lowest depths of misery?

i guess being alone and lonely. it's different from being alone and happy, content or anything else that doesnt equate to loneliness. maybe i'll be very depressed if i knew that nobody really cared about me anymore, when i become invisible in the eyes of people that matter to me.it changes, you know.. what you regard as the lowest depths of misery. as we grow old, we find out that the lowest we thought we could get when we were in highschool wasnt really that bad.. it gets worse.. but we almost always get through it.

Where would you like to live?

i would like to live where i can walk to the beach whenever i want to, where i can hear the waves hit the shore and where the air makes my skin smell like salt water. or wherever there's a roof over my head and cable internet and tv. hehee.

What are your biggest faults?

loving too much, giving too much, trusting people too much and not being optimistic enough.

Qualities you admire most in a man?

i admire the way they can not grow up and get away with it. really, how do you do that? i want to be able to act all childish and stupid and insensitive but still get what i want, or dont want or "pwede na" wants.

Qualities you admire most in a woman?

resilience. no matter what you throw her way, she will either dodge it, face it, catch it, beat it or whatever, depending on her mood you know.

What is/are your favorite color/s?

i am currently loving grey (sorry adi :)) because it's neutral. im not in the mood to make decisions of either to wear white or black. going inbetween is easier. i have recently discoved that the color rust works for me. i feel and look good in it. let's not forget pink, makes my cheeks pop. i have no idea why i'm always pink. an ex calls me patrick starfish, not because im dumb but because my face is always pink. and i loooove blue, all shades. reminds me of the sea.. love the sea.

Favorite writers?

sadly, i don't have any. i read just about anything. wait, come to think of it, i'll name a few.momel, adi, nel, nancy and the lady that keeps the dessert blog.

What do you value most in your friends?

their love, understanding, patience, acceptance and time. because they still take time to ask me how i am, tell me stuff, listen to my rants and raves and make sure im doing just fine.

Your most marked characteristic/s?

i laugh at almost anything, i'm a wallflower unless we're close friends then i'll be the life of the party, i'm madaldal despite what other people think but i can't make good kwento or tell a joke. and i touch-touch. i love to touch-touch. really. it makes me feel good.

Favorite pursuits of leisure?

blockbuster, trying out new restaurants, food trips back in the philippines, surfing the net, lurking around friendster and pex, sleeping in or staying in bed then watch food network, food network, shopping and organizing other people's things. not mine. i hate organizing my stuff.

What are your favorite names?

ira. of course, love your own. i like proceso too. it's unique and it sticks. i currently like clara, kieran, luc and james.

How would you like to die?

well, if my family was rich enough to keep me alive for a little bit more, then maybe il ask them to keep me alive for a couple of weeks so i could just tell everyone i love that i love them. that's how i would like to die, guilt-free, content and happy to be able to let out everything in here *fist on chest*

What are you pet peeves?

i hate it when people chew loudly, or slurp their soup like there's no tomorrow. ugh, disgusting. i hate it when people make me wait and when they promise something that they won't be able to keep. this disappoints me more than anything. i also hate it when people make singit when you're in line. we should all be civilized enough to be able to form a line and stick to it!

Motto you try to live by?

keep the faith ira, keep the faith. i try to. but some people just keep stomping on your spirits.

Favorite hero/ines of fiction?

hermione, sophie, and spongebob. i admire his love of life. he sees the good in everything. i wish i could be more like him.

Celebrities you admire most?

nobody. sorry. or wait, maybe ... nah, nobody.

Heroes in real life?

my mom, my lola, friends (kayong apat), my dad.
