haunted refrigarator night

'Twas the night before Halloween and inside our fridge, something was stirring among our plates, tuppewares and pans!
Hmmm?! When was the last time we cleaned out our fridge? There are evil and scary things growing among our leftover containers! As we prepare for the scariest night of the year, I think it's time to show’em what we’re made of by emptying the fridge of all that is unholy inside...Guys, shall we start? Err... where are they?!

scare-me-not!

Halloween is celebrated annually on October 31. It's a season in which everybody is preparing for their costumes for the trick or treat surprise. But for me, well...kin'da just don't do it with me, uhmm...me, having my wide imagination, just don't "BOO!" me OK!
This, I wanna share cause I think I found this funny for this month's celebration...some short funny horror bloopers I encountered with my housemates and friends here: trick or treat!
  • the tv- it was one of my ate's (older sister) birthday but I came too late there that only my one ate is up there, they are all gone because they went to the net cafe. So I just ate myself alone, then my ate loaded a movie for me to watch. She told me that they have watched it already but she did'nt tell me what's the title and the sypnosys. I started to ate and my eyes started to stare at the monitor, the movie sounds gruesome at the start huh! I called my ate because I want to know the story but she just said that I should just watch. I know now, the movie is horror so the moment my ate went to the bathroom, I beg her to stay with me but she have to go the bathroom, so I'm so helpless and instead I just hit the paused button until she came back. After watching the movie, she now teased me! I can't go downstairs, so I asked her to come with me till I reached our room. That's how scared I am and that's the start how they always teased and play with me here.
  • the pc- so my housemates got her brand new personal desk top computer. It was the first in our room, so for months we have our internet access before I finaly decided to bought my laptop. She shares it with us, we also watch online movies there. One evening, I ask her to play one Filipino horror movies, she insist knowing that I'm a bit scary but I protest...I don't know, I think I just want to watch that specific movie being curious about the trailer I have watched. She plays it, so we watched...the first part is not that really scary the fact that she's with me watching too (that's good). In the middle of the movie, she said that she would just have to buy fresh chicken outside. I hurriedly stand being affected now, I don't know, maybe because of the movie or imagining me being alone! She laugh, she knows! And so, again... I click the pause button and I waited for her to come back again. Oh, silly me!
  • the door - I went to one of my ate's (older sister) room to borrow some cd's. I was actually hearing something inside as I approach the door, but I did'nt bother about it though I'm feeling that there's something wrong. The noise inside subside so I push the doorbell's botton but it took it sometime for someone to open it. I push again the doorbell and I hear someone went to open it. The door just actually glide, not the same thing when I always went and give them a buzz, they open it wide! So, I just relax myself but deep inside I know there's something wrong now, I quietly open the door through while calling their names...I'm really tensed now cause no one is answering. One more push and there...to my shock, I saw a girl just blurred in my sight cause I don't know where to look at with her long hair covering her whole face that you can just only see her one eye (just like "the eye" movie). I don't know what to do so I just scream running to nowhere and then I just hear them laughing...their making fun of me! I knew it! I really really knew it!
  • the light- to have some privacy, I used our bathroom while calling someone. But this one particular evening, I decided to go ouside and went just at the side of our room which is near the elevator and the stairs not knowing that something will happen. The sensor light of the building only lasted for a minute so you have to move again for the light to switched open again. I sat on the 3rd level of the stairs and began to dial. I started my conversation and the sensor light begin to fade (Its okay, I'm just near our room). My eyes went up and down while talking on the phone, I remain calm. As my eyes accidentally fixed my stare upstairs, I notice a little light, I thought it was just a firefly. I stare at it for a second but I felt my feet is cold now! The light now went into a circular motion, then it stops then went diagonal, and in zigzag motion...I froze! I quietly stand while still talking on the phone as if someone is with me. I tiptoed a little and after nearly reaching the front of our room, I hear a loud laugh, like the one in the horror movies. That time I almost run and I start to scream upon reaching the doorknob. My one housemates heared me screamed so she ran towards me. After that loud laugh, I hear a familiar voice calling me through that stairs...it was my kuya Ronnie (older brother). I did'nt know that he was there visiting my ate (his wife) and he was just taking a cigarrete smoke out there. Knowing I was there and it was a bit dark, he scared me. Funny huh!

guess who's back?

After 4 days, at around 11pm here (10pm phils time), while working in night shift...I didn't notice I have received a text message. And guess what, he's asking if I'm still mad and he just want to have some excuse about our last misunderstanding. Think he just can't really live without me (now I'm being conceited)! Well, well...I haven't replied or called him yet, I still don't know what to say! It really made me upset the last time, I do also have some problems to think about... I think this is just so common to all girls...finding the right time and words to settle things up!

understanding love and pain

Sorry for the bad editing, I'm just having my jitters because of my mix emotions the last time, I have to separate this post to my lasts post...this is some kind of a motivation! We badly need that sometimes...and preferably when discussing feelings! Well gurls, this is it!
Love is a beautiful experience. Yes, it will always bring pain and God knows what else… but it also brings joy and a feeling of being complete that none of us can ever explain or fathom. In my experience, I’d rather have love and lost, than never to have loved at all. I’ve experienced pain, but I’ve also experienced happiness beyond compare. And I’ll never trade that happiness for anything. I am who I am now not only because of the positive moments that happened in my life, but essentially because of the bad moments too. We experience these painful moments so we could well appreciate the good moments. Experience the bad, to appreciate the good. God allows these things to happen, He allows our hearts to be broken, so we would GROW. Every time we feel pain, He’s on the works, He’s working on us to make us better persons.
The same is true with love, without love, we will never be complete. Love makes the world go round, love is the force that keeps us innately good. I wouldn’t blame love for the pain it brings, nor will I hold a grudge against it for the misery it caused, instead I will thank God for it. We get wounds from it, but those wounds will heal if we allow God to heal them. But it’s not like magic that poof! it’s all healed. It will start from us too, FORGIVENESS and ACCEPTANCE are the keys to healing. Pain is just but a reminder, that we have lessons to learn, joys to look forward to, and a God to go to in times of need. Don’t be scared of pain and love because it’s part of LIFE. Grieve from it, get angry at it, but don’t be consumed by bitterness because of it. Instead, learn from it and use it to become the best person you can be.

lq

I just can't understand myself now...I'm so upset, we have this little misunderstanding a while ago that makes me confuse right now...maybe, I'll just give him some time now! I know...he's been so depressed lately...
It do happens to us sometimes like other relationships too...but we believe that we can't never start a new day without settling our little petty quarrel!

ouchhh! it hurts...

I have a bad headache today...I guess because of the changing weather. Winter chill is coming and my body defense system is not that actually good! I often feel cold and now I can't even type continuously because I feel that my head is like going to explode. I have already taken 2 capsules but I think it takes time now for the medicines to effect! I feel like I want to vomit but I have to control it (mind over matter). I have just finished putting on pain ointment around my forehead to at least ease the pain for sometime and hope that by tomorrow I'm gonna be OK...

all work and no money!

I've just recently updated my passbook to check how many earnings do I still have. As it turns out, almost 1/4 of my monthly salary has been left... I know, I've spent so much last month like shopping here, shopping there... travel here, travel there and I know when I got hungry or I'm dying and craving to eat something...I'll really really run at once to some fast food chains and eat myself out and I don't care! At least, I'm not hungry anymore!
I've already handed out my cash share to my housemates earlier last month (we do this monthly), and I remember, I bought 1 bag from Nike because I really really like it, bought new t-shirt from Levi's and got myself a new pair of shoes from Adidas! Some accessories caught my attention (well), and I also bought earlier my personal supplies because I'm running out of stocks... and oh, some facial and body skin care too (that belongs to my budget anyway)! Sometimes you’ll be surprised to suddenly want a thing that you never really needed before. It’s just because you thought it was sooo cute or too nice or very cheap to let pass.
I've already sent also 25% of my salary to my parents in the Philippines and I've got my jumbo package being paid in cash! Uh-oh...think that's really a lot! Money is like magic...the first minute, you can feel it in your hands...and in just one wink, it's all gone. Oh no! I've gots to save now!
bye-bye money!

Anyway, payday is coming and that spells.............................................................S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G! Uhmm, reminds me anyway to save, again!

back at one

OK, since I'm a quite obsessive-compulsive in some things sometimes... I can't sleep over what had happened to my blog. I woke up early this morning (good grief, it's Sunday) to fixed things so that I have more time to finalize it. And it end up like a roller coaster ride! Thanks to my e-mail that I have been able to retrieved some of the sidebar tool, the editing part is the tougher one... although I have the earlier posts being saved, I have to copy-paste it into my new account... and so the tricks goes on... I change my account id and URL's name (just one letter, notice the "s" letter... I change it to "z") but the whole package is there! It's my "same old brand new" blog... yippee!

stupid me

I did a verrrrry stupid thing this week. I have been downloading movies in my laptop, uploading my pictures in friendster and at the same time editing the template of my blog at once, but I didn't notice that there were so many windows open now in the screen so I actually made a mistake to close some...so I did. After reviewing what has been closed, to my horror... I realized that I have closed the one I have been editing without saving it....(ok panic attacks). I've been read-writing it for almost 2 days and that's it! It still makes me mad at myself thinking about that pop up messsage I didnt bother reading at all... I was so confident that I have saved it before, (as I was used to doing so) but after browsing it, found out that the rest was gone...I think I have to start all over again...arrrrrrrrrrgh!

our weekend overnight (the event)




For the continuation... after our night shift work, we are all that tired actually going home for preparation. I remember one incident back then, one of my friend told me "Hey, you're just going to stay there for only 2 days! Looks like you bring your whole closet with you?" I just reply back with a big grin "Yeah, I know... I guess, I just dont wanna miss a thing." So, my WONDER LIST do works for me anyway.
That day, we headed again for a straight travel and with just 7 hours to rest, (but I didn't take the chance to nap at all because all my wide eyes was fixed in the computer and sometimes having a small chat here and there) we have to be there at least before dawn.
We arrive there at about 7:30 almost 8:00 in the evening and their unit is in the 29th floor of the building and we were so welcome there! Their condo-type unit I must say is really spacey and beautiful. What I like most inside is their large window which when you take a look outside, you will see the whole surroundings with tall buildings, highways and flyovers full of cars caught on traffic and since its nightime its nice to see their lights blinking. The building is near the river so its really good to feel that your really on top.
While eating our sumptuose dinner...to my surprise, Mr. Mike, Ate Leah's husband had commented that he had read my blogs and told me that it was interesting. I just commented back that I just wanna express my thoughts and feelings about every situation while laughing(I feel shy at once, my first compliment about my blog. I almost want to tell him that I am a kind'a frustrated writer myself and here is my only chance. Thanks Mr. Mike for that! I appreciate it!)After dinner, the couple told us that there will gonna have a firework show. We were so excited to hear that because its really timing that we were there. The fireworks display lasted for almost an hour and we were all amazed every single minute of it. In between breaks, we had to take a bite of the food there cause it makes us hungry every time we do the oooh's and ahhhh's!
We engage ourselves afterwards into a light drink that we had enjoyed together while watching a movie over their wide and flat screen TV! We sleep over at about 2;30 in the morning almost sleepy but not too drunk at all and I woke up at about 9:30 in the morning almost ready for our breakfast.
Before leaving, we take pictures for remembrance in almost every side and corner of the place...(good thing, I never forgot to bring my ever reliable digital camera...love it!)

a quick list

Tonight, the gang is going to have an overnight weekend visit to one of our friends who is now married. So my mind now is running from nowhere... "I have to plan what things to bring earlier because it's gonna be a Saturday night live fever or else I would end up a crap, ghee!"In a hurried manner, my hands automatically wrote in a single piece of scratch paper all my necessary needs to be brought and here it is:

I need to do this list or else I would be like a racing marathon running here and there gathering and picking up all my things because there is no time left and still I forget something (I remember that, a buzzer beater one). So, hope this works for me!
