after 10 million years
the computer's been busted for a week now so this is actually the first time i've been online since forever. the pc still isn't fixed so i'm using my dad's laptop coz i hafta finish doing my paper for com research. it's been a pretty eventful past few days. starting off with the CoSA party last saturday. it was a huge success. hot guys and jacksons all around. everything was great up until i realized my phone had been stolen! crap!!! someone stole my phoooone! i curse whoever you are. die. die a horrible horrible death. what is wrong with the world. geez. my parents didn't get mad. but still. my pictures, my contacts, my messages...everything! i still have the same number but i still don't have a phone. hello jolog girl. i've been mooching off my brother's and parents' phones since last week. how sad. so there. sucks to be me. sayang. i loffd my quasi eighties outfit that night pa naman. left early, at around 1 and waited at home for miggy to get back so we could finally leave for la union. we left at around 6 and i slept practically the whole entire time. it's one of the (few) perks of not having a license, i guess. migs and nix drove the whole almost 7 hours and i was just lounging at the back munching on food and sleeping. heehee. when we got there, we just ate some sandwiches and the boys slept the whole afternoon (actually, miggy slept the whole afternoon). nix and i went down at around 4, coz i wanted to watch the game and nix wanted coffee. so there we were at the bar staring off into the ocean, watching some dude do sick aerials on his shortboard. damn! why can't i be like him?! oh well. like miggy says, next month, kaya na yan. harhar. we eventually woke miggy up and paddled out the last hours of sunlight. i got jellyfish-ed by the way. yuck. it wasn't so bad. it stung but at least it wasn't the hardcore kind of jellyfish sting wherein the whole arm swells up and you look fat and bloated and the thing hurts for two weeks. eeyuck. after that we had dinner at aling norma's, hung out for a couple of hours by the beach and slept early. there's something about la union that makes you tired early. loffly sea air, i guess. the next day we woke up late (being with lazy boys somehow makes one unproductive as well) and jun took us to bacnotan after lunch. twas grrreat! it looked like that "only locals surf here" place in blue crush. twas this isolated, hidden beach that had consistent swell. coolness. we left miggy alone for an hour (coz of an "emergency") and when we came back he said he felt like sandy cohen, surfing alone before work. harhar. twas one of the nicest surf sessions coz despite my being weak and out of shape (oh gym...i need you so bad....), jun was nice enough to push for me and i got plenty of rides out of it. miggy and i even rode the same wave twice unintentionally. corny nga eh. haha! we wanted to surf the next day, all three of us, holding hands to make it even cornier. haha. the water was pretty shallow, but i got worked a bit a couple of times when the waves would break and i'd be at wrong place at the wrong time. s'okay though, i'm not as scared and panicky as i used to be. wow. congrats. we went back at around 6, had dinner and hung out (i loff the steady monotony of it all- especially since i was so stressed from school) and this white dude, paul, came up and joined us. paul's this twenty-year-old austrian dude who's traveling around asia with his other friend, max. max was with him the night before but ditched him for a couple french girls they met at the surf resort. poor guy. he befriended us and hitched a ride with us back to manila. i never knew the german language could sound nice, but it did. too bad he wasn't my type (although nix kept going "like mo sha noh!" with his hands on his hips). he's too blond and too tall. haha. but miggy and nix liked him a lot. he taught them a whole bunch of dirty german phrases. befruchter. schwan. dirty dirty words. haha. oh and yeah, i'm tan now for real. although i know sib's gonna call me chimay and black, i don't care. i loff it! i took extra effort just to get my color. see, the surfing sessions didn't tan or color me at all, so the day we left, i went out at noon, with no sunblock and bathed in the harsh cancer causing sun. yep. twas sheer stupidity. i'm now two steps closer to skin cancer. if my mom or my derma found out, they'd kill me. i dunno. i couldn't help it. i wanted a tan. and now i have one. yay! i was sad when we left la union. for a while there, it felt like i didn't have any responsibilities at all. i loved it. the beach is the greatest thing in the world. i really wanna live by the beach someday. tahiti, fiji, bali....perfection beybeh! so there. the next day, i had school. back to the real world. eeyuuuck.
let's see...what else....friday went to tetangco's party even though i was sick (still am). i think i got sick in la union coz i rode in the airconditioned car when i didn't dry myself off and was just in a bikini and stepped right into a freezing room. anyway! i didn't drink at all at the party. just sat at a couch, played cards, ate and that's it! carla and i had a hard time finding a ride back to her house and we wanted to go sooooo bad since we were both so tired and i was dying (my voice was practically a croak). good thing yael came to our rescue. thanks soooo much yael, even though you scared the shit out of me and carla. heehee. saturday was pretty good, too. my dad took toni, andrea and me to powerbooks and national for their sale and we bought a whole bunch of books. yay! i wanna go back and buy more..probably before the sale ends. i love how my dad buys us books forever. maybe coz it's his fault we're so addicted to them. heehee. stayed home after that coz i felt like i was knocking on death's door. i hate being sick. it's gross. poor jella. virus girl. i can't imagine feeling like this all the time.
and finally, today. watched some tennis (i loff you lleyton....goodluck in the final!) and that stupid horrible pathetic basketball game. i hate joseph yeo's face. he reminds me of someone i intensely dislike. eeeyuuuck. then after that, we had dinner at greenbelt with my grandparents, and my tita's family minus mia coz she had work. happy birthday to daddy (my father's father)!! he's eighty-eight now. i love him sooo much. he looked so cute in his wheelchair while miggy was pushing him around. he was wearing the red vans trucker hat migoy gave him and his trendy denim jacket. heehee. loff! we were supposed to watch the village but we finished too late. oh well! now i'm here updating my lj when i should be doing my paper coz ima gonna be watching the legg mason final in thirty minutes. yes, people, my priorities are warped. but so what. haha. better get on with it if i wanna sleep throughout the night. plus my dad needs to bring this laptop tomorrow. hassle. ohhh well.
