Hickey

I'm looking at your pictures…
And the hickey is disturbing.
I'm trying to brush it off~ but the pain is unbearable.
I took care of you like my most precious crystal
And now it's wasted~

I hate to see you give yourself away
To someone you barely even know
I wish I could just hold your hand right now
Close both my palms around it
So you would know that I still care

I still do…

Off To Palawan

I am busy printing my flight itineraries to Palawan and back, and the boat trips in-between. I am excited as this is yet another adventure that I could add to my portfolio as a certified Laagan. We (Atan, Tope, Jazzy, Calai, Bao, Deu and Sanny) have been planning this since we commenced from last year's trip to Siquijor and Apo Island and so far, everything is going well.

I haven't packed yet, I'm still in the office and I barely have 2 hours to deliberate on what to bring and what not. I'll be aboard a lite-fare flight that'll only allow me to bring a 15-pound carry on, and the thought of it makes me shudder. How on earth can I fit my summer entourage on a small luggage?

Anyways, up till now my ego and super-ego is still torn between the Palawan trip and a quick trip to Bantayan. I'd like to go to Bantayan and have some quality time with Ian, let alone my guy friends who regularly party there every Holy Week. There's always next time though, but I'm so gonna be missing my Bunbun, and anything and everything I used to enjoy in Cebu on a Holy Week.

I'll see you guys soon!

Megan, Out

I had by far the most memorable birthday celebration--- by a FAR mile.

Apart from claiming this as this year's biggest and grandest day of my life, March 28 is also when we celebrate Earth Hour (which means so much to me since I'm a big advocate on anything and everything that's to be done for the love of Mother Nature).

The past 3 weeks had been really tough for me. As you know, my Dad had been admitted to the ICU due to heart failure and I had been struggling financially since then. Other than that, I was nearing towards the end of my first sales quarter at work, which means that I'm always on the thickest of things and I barely had time to breathe in between tasks and to-do's. I barely have time to think on how to think things through some really complex tasks--- they just come and go and by God's grace I'm still sane at this point :)

The nicest thing about celebrating your birthday is you get to appreciate what you have. This year I realized that money never really was an issue-- you can have the time of your life even if you have practically nothing. I just had one :) The love I had around me was THE party in itself.

I shouldn’t let this post pass without getting to thank the people who have been with me through thick and thin. Thank you to my ever-supportive family, we are closer now more than ever and I thank God for that. To my Lexmark family, thank you for the cake and the food and the surprise celebration. To my friends at work~ especially my supplies family, Nina, Marla, Angel, Alphie and the rest, my NA Channel and warranties friends, thank you for the celebration. To my Microsoft family for the support that knows no bounderies and distance, thank you. To the Laagans (Atan, Tope, Deo and Vanz, Bao, Sanny and Mede, Arjay and Nicky, Jazzy and Chai), for always giving me a reason to smile on these tough times and for helping me out financially when my Dad got hospitalized. To my friends at the gym~ Cleff, Jude, Kristianne, Max, etc for always making me laugh. To Adong for the BBQ party he set-up (I know nakatapal ka cuz, hehehe), thank you so much! To my roommate Marcial for the dinner party, to my Doce friends for the hugs and "kisses" hahaha--- thank you, thank you, thank you.

27 and Counting~~~

I Never Thought I'd Live To See The Day...

And I thought she's just another talentless singer who gets too much hype from all her fancy antics. I got blown away when I saw her play the piano.

All hail Lady Gaga.

Bad Surgeries Happen to Unhappy People

I don't know what's happening but I used to be such a big fan on Gretchen's beauty, like if you'd ask me to write down 5 of the most people women in Philippine show business, she would definitely and without regret be part of my list.

I was watching her "Tough 10" interview at the Buzz (with Boy Abunda) and I got so bothered at how rubber-like her face looked--- not that it's ugly, I mean it's still Gretchen. But the changes are so obvious that it made her look like a Gretchen impersonator, like some pretty cross-dresser who happens to have the same flawless skin and demeanor. And her lips looked unusually plump it looked like it she just had some allergic reaction to her lipstick or something.

I am not against surgeries, at some point in our lives we get to be unhappy with what we have. But it doesn;t really make sense to have something altered in your face especially when you are Gretchen Barretto, I mean what the hell is she thinking?

I'll be 58 one day but I won't even be half as kikay as my Dad, case closed.

Dad's on his second day at the ICU. He had a hard time breathing and his cardio says he has this inflamed part on the left side of his heart. Scary. The good thing about it is it can be easily treated. He just had to undergo ICU because his vitals had to be observed and studied for the next 48 hours.

I went to visit him yesterday. I had no idea visiting hours in the ICU were super limited. Like we are only given a couple of hours to visit my Dad and that's it.

I got to talk to him for less than an hour, and I was just happy to see him recovering so quickly. He cried when he told me he can feel his system getting better and better every minute under treatment. And it is obvious, coz the moment I went inside the ICU to see him, he looked really handsome and peaceful. The only thing he complained about was the fact that he wasnt allowed to take a shower. He's the ultimate kikay in the family. I'll be 58 one day but I won't even be half as kikay as my Dad, case closed.

Will keep you posted...
