Our First Anniversary

2006-11-30T17:56:00.000-08:00

I couldn't help but be amazed by how much Jonathan and I have grown... 365 days passed and we're still very much in love... We're still learning more about each other... And we've pretty much made a change with one another...

Before I move on, I warn you guys to a major senti blog post... So if you're sick of this kind of thing... You might as well leave this domain...

So... Where was I? A Yes... =P

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams..."

Oh my gosh.. So true... (^^,) I never really knew that it's possible to be this in love... With Jonathan, you're always pleasantly surprised... (^_^) He makes me want to stay awake and wonder what else there is to know about him... Palaging may bago... (^_^)

It's sweet kasi kahit antagal na namin, it seems na everytime we say those 3 simple but very deep words, parang first time namin gagawin... Honestly... Bumibilis pa din yung heartbeat ko whenever I say "I love you" to him... Kasi I don't want it to sound like I just said because I had to... Yung may laman... That's what matters... Kahit ga'no pa kabongga yung way ng pagsabi mo... Kung di naman sincere... Useless din...

Grabe... Sana 'di na mawala 'toh... I know naman na he's the one... (^^,)

Happy Anniversary babe... (^^,) I love you Hunny... You'll always be my Mr.A... (^_^)

update

2006-07-07T17:02:00.000-07:00

ok.. i'll be posting pictures in my multiply account.. that's http://giginathan.multiply.com

so kamusta naman ako diba?? :P well.. the new schoolyear has started,, hindi pa rin nagsisink-in sa'kin na senior na ako.. being vice-president of the student council has been awesome,, our teachers are great.. I get to see Jonathan at least once a week.. and i gained more friends especially in the lower levels.. I'm taking debate seriously this year because I really want to learn.. I helped Ms.Ilano judge the Music Chorale auditions.. I enjoy reasearch elective with my partner, Beth.. and I love my new class adviser.. That's Mrs. Aguilar for those who don't know.. (^_^) so basically.. those are the things that are going on.. i'll probably update more often this time sine I'm not posting pictures here anymore.. My dream layout is in line with the theme: Nina, my idol.. of course.. I haven't had the chance to actually make my bloglay not just because of lack of time but also because of the fact na our computer's just been formatted and binura yung Adobe photoshop so hindi ko na magawa yung gusto ko.. asar.. anyhoo.. so yun nga.. sige.. ingat sa lahat.. (^_^)

oh.. malapit na pala UPCAT.. hurrah.. (~_~)

ugh

2006-07-03T19:57:00.000-07:00

2005-08-04T23:27:00.000-07:00

the first quarter exams are fast approaching.. (great intro there gigi.. remarkable.. garrr..) anyhoo.. recently,, as perhaps few of you may know,, i have had some quite undeniably negative views on things.. (oh come on gi.. cut the crap..) let's just cut to the chase.. hehehe.. ;) after much discernment,, i have realized that many people have come into my life and helped me in my hard-to-solve problems.. i think recognition of these special people is a need to say how much i am grateful for your love and support!! i really appreciate it.. ;)

first is my family of course.. thanks for being there for me always.. to my Mom who has been the most amazing best friend i have ever had.. to my Dad (who is actually celebrating his birthday tomorrow,, 080505),, the greatest of all my mentors and teachers,, Ate Anna who has been the most influencial adviser i have ever spoken with.. and to Ate Len,, my most awesome and most talented sister who i really look up to and a great kakulitan,, too!! thank you!! :D

to Bim.. my most beloved friend.. we have gone through most kinds of situations and yet you still are there for me.. thank you Bim.. you know that i love you and that i will be here for you always.. i would never want for you to get hurt again.. never.. if someone gives you pain again,, i can never forgive him or her.. no one messes with my friends.. especially my Bim..

to Beth.. the most petite girl of my time.. thankies to you for always listening to my lame stories.. this goes for Carmeluz,, too.. thanks to you both for comforting me when i am in doubt or depression.. i can never repay you for all that you have done for me.. i would never want to see you guys hurt either.. so whoever makes your lives miserable would go through me first!!

it's not everyday you encounter sugar-free ice cream

2005-07-30T11:39:00.000-07:00

ok.. so here's the thing.. i'm still quite bummed because of some things that happened.. on my last sensible entry,, i told you about me being partners with jacque in a debate competition blahblahblah.. well.. unfortunately,, i was not able to compete because of the leadership camp.. i was really depressed at that.. but what else could i do.. that's exactly what leadership means.. sacrificing your wants for the sake of doing your responsibilities.. i had no choice..

anyway,, jacque and her new partner pauline broke into the finals so i'm happy with that.. :D i so love jacque.. i miss being with her in debate.. i mean being partners with her.. i could still remember 2nd year speech class.. aaaaaaah.. those days were awesome.. damn i miss jacque.. :(

well.. what has been up.. i love my classmates already!! :D i have pictures!! yey!! ;)

i so love celine and lara!! :D

so there.. i finally got the advantage of being the official photographer of the Theresian Magazine.. i get to bring my camera anytime.. hahahahaha.. :P well.. the same things happened.. palihan.. mass.. yadayadayada..

ok leadership camp.. :P though labag sa kalooban ko na nagpunta ako dun instead of iDea Lite, i still had fun in the end.. there were certain stories that made it all better.. hahaha.. :P the "horror stories",, the games,, the laughs,, the bonding sessions,, the discussions,, the food,, (:D) the bathroom story,, the action and suspense.. hahahahaha.. :P the stories are quite confidential so i'll leave it at that.. hahahahah.. :D here are some pictures from the leadership camp.. :P

then the Theresian staffers also had this interaction with the gradeschool staffers.. they're sooooooooo cute!! :D here's our picture.. (sorry if it's blurry.. low bat na ako niyan e..)

well.. that's it for now.. hehehe.. :P thanks for dropping by my blog.. and btw.. thankies to all that commented on my previous entries.. i really needed the serious reality check.. hehehe.. :P love you guys!! :D hugs to each of you!! ;)

the title's just a thought i've been happy about since last sunday.. (ok fine here's the story.. :P) you see.. my dad's not really allowed to eat sweets.. when we were at greenhills shopping center (which was burnt btw but is now ok again..),, we were able to find sugar-free ice cream!! yey!! :P hurrah for my father!! so there.. simple as that.. ;)

..random thoughts..

2005-07-08T03:09:00.000-07:00

can't really think of a different title.. haha.. anyway.. i'm back to the traditional "english only" policy.. i'll try my best..

ok so what's been happening with me.. Dad's home!! yey!! :D

as i've said in my last update,, i made it into the STC debate team.. jacque and i are now partners in the forthcoming Idea-Lite.. it's a debate competition and i don't really want to talk about it.. it makes me sick to my stomach just thinking of the fact that it's gonna be done just a week away and at the exact same days (take not that it's DAYSSSSS) as the school's leadership training..

it actually saddens me because i actually want to do both.. i want to attend leadership training,, for STC made some changes this year.. they made it into a camp.. overnight.. that'd be fun!! awesome even!! now,, i also want to attend the debate tournament because it's a learning experience.. and it would be my 1st competition not involving singing.. hahaha.. :P hello!! ii'm lucky to even have a spot in the group of contestants!! :(

anyway.. i've been very attached to OUR family's camera lately.. i'd bring it anywhere.. well basically i have to because of the Theresian magazine.. well.. it seems that this is not a trivia to the frequent readers of my blog.. i think you very well know that i love taking pictures.. :D so here are some pics to update you more.. :)

last june 13.. jonathan and i went out.. it was short but nice.. hahahaha.. ;) yes people.. i like this guy.. and i'm not afraid nor am i ashamed to show it.. hahaha.. :) anyway.. going back to my point.. (DEBATE??!! :P) we went out.. hahaha.. :P we saw a movie then ate some snacks.. haha.. ;) then of course.. the usual thing.. we went home early because of curfews and the like.. hahaha.. :) we both had new haircuts that day.. hahahaha.. ;) here's a snapshot of the two of us.. ;)

hahahaha.. we look like huge dorks.. :P anyway.. moving on.. i'm the new STC Theresian Mag photographer.. let me show you my best shot from the mass of the Holy Spirit.. ;)

ok.. our batch was reshuffled.. here are some of my new yet closest classmates.. :D

this is me and pia.. she's the girl who doodled with me.. :D if you missed that story,, go to the archives page to my blog.. it's there.. ;)

this is me,, celine (de guzman) and lara (estevez).. they're fellow ii4-ers.. :P i became close to them mostly because of debate.. i consider them debate veterans and soon to be STC debate team captain and co-captain.. (respectively..) :P

this is my most updated kada pic.. bang*ers.. ;)

these are my busmates.. :P therese,, me,, mea and marisa.. there's more.. only,, our cam can only include the 4 of us.. hahahah.. :D

it's mea and me!! i like mea's pink umbrella because of the pinkish effect!! :D

of course this is me and beth.. hahahah.. :P bestfriends!! ;)

mika and me.. ;) we just finished debate training on the night that picture was shot.. (at shakey's,, sm north edsa :P)

story about our 'adventure' at shakey's.. there's this 'ice cream bar' in shakey's.. you can have all the ice cream you want with toppings as long as you finish and eat it all up.. hahahaha.. :P well.. we were so overwhelmed witht the idea that we ended up with this..

from then on,, i never looked at ice cream the same way again.. hahahaha.. :P

here are some pictures from our debate training last saturday held at ate claire's house.. :D

the government side.. :D me (PM) jacque (DPM) carla (MG) mela (GW)

opposition side.. mika (LO) purgy (DLO) santi (MO) mae (OW)

I'd Give My Life For You

You who I cradled in my arms, you
Asking as little as you can
Little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born, you
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To make sure, you're not hurt again
I swear I'd give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear
And you should know that it's love that brought you here
And in one perfect night when the stars burned like new
I knew what I must do

I'll give you a million things i'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown

You will be who you want to be you
Can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'd give my life for you

Sometimes I wake up
Reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my hand
But it's just moonlight on my bed

Was he a ghost? Was he a lie
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see
His little one, Gods of the sun bring him to me!

You will be who you want to be you
Can choose what ever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'd give my life for you

NO ONE CAN STOP WHAT I MUST DO
I SWEAR I'D GIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU

i was really nervous that day.. and i mean the whole day.. pero i got through it.. and that experience was definitely something i'd want to do again.. ;) here's some pictures during that day.. ;)

outdated update

2005-05-08T19:25:00.000-07:00

ok forget about the title.. :P i haven't blogged for quite some time now.. harhar.. i've been busy with a lot of new things.. :P so i'm here to tell you about this beautiful week and why it has been wonderful to me.. it started out awesome.. a big thanks to my dad who loves gimmicks and bonding sessions with his kids,, too. :D

last sunday,, our relatives from japan came to visit us here once again.. so last monday,, my dad treated us a night out to be with our aunt (tita eliz).. :) ate aileen wasn't able to come with us because of some things she had to do..

first,, we ate at yellow cab.. when we were eating,, stories just kept on coming.. that was so much fun!! :D of course picture time was also part of our agenda.. :P here are some pictures we took there.. :D

after eating,, we went to io ktv at the loop near abs-cbn where we sang our hearts out!! :P wala nang hiya-hiya!! :P singing for me is just the best!! :P ANG FIRST LOVE KO NA HINDI NAMAN AKO BINIGO.. hayyyyy.. :P here are snapshots when we were at the ktv room.. :D

the next day,, i had a major sore throat!! however,, that didn't stop me from practicing with bnp at patti's place for ate jenny's debut.. :P here are pictures we took there.. :P

after the practice.. we had our first san miguel music workshop session.. it was orientation.. :P mr. ryan cayabyab himself spoke to us!! :p too bad i wasn't able to reach for my camera and steal a shot of him.. but there's always next tiem.. :P sir ryan said we shouldn't call him "mr. ryan cayabyab".. instead.. he loves being called "mr. c.." :D

i made immediate friends!! :P we're all incoming third year students.. :P in the picture below,, i'll introduce them to you from left to right.. :p they're names are maite,, melai,, marielle and myself.. :p they used to call me gigi.. but then all 3 of them started with M.. so now.. i think it's marie i'll be using.. hahaha.. :P

after the orientation,, we were divided by class.. which made me really sad because all 4 of us were separated.. :( but this is a shot my classmates in class A.. :P

(left to right)sir ed,, kuya kevin,, ate clang,, ate ken and myself

(left to rigth)sir ed,, kuya matt,, kuya kevin,, ate ken,, ate clang

the uhmmm older guy (hahaha.. :P) is our teacher.. :p (sir ed.. mr. c's assistant.. :D)

after the lesson,, mariel,, melai and i met up again.. we took some pictures before leaving.. at that time,, maite already left..

then last friday.. classes A, B and D had a session.. that's when i knew i already have a solo this coming 13th at our mini recital.. i finally have chosen a song.. i'm still rehearsing the song.. :P last friday,, during our practice.. sir ed critiqued my performance.. he said.. vocals wise,, he'd give me a 10.. he said that my vocals have already matured.. he said that if he just listens and not look at me while performing,, he'd already love it.. however,, performance wise.. i was at 3.. ugh.. but that's ok because i learn from these criticisms.. :D he said that i had some bad singing habits.. like looking at the floor instead of the audience.. like tapping my foot at a slow song.. and i don't know when to use my diaphragm voice or chest voice.. i'll really practice hard because i don't want to fail sir ed and miss joanna anymore.. :D here are pictures i took last friday.. :D miss joanna (our other voice coach) was already present.. :D

the whole weekend was very fruitful to me.. all that i did during those 2 rest days were.. WATCH "FULL HOUSE".. hahaha!! :D i finished the series already.. :P oh!! i got my 2 upper 2nd molars extracted last saturday, too.. :P

this afternoon,, i mean at 5.30pm,, we have a lesson again.. am hoping to meet a guy from class D.. hahahaha.. :P i haven't decided what to sing for my 2nd solo for the may 27th mini recital.. and i'm still wondering how our grand ensemble recital would go.. hahaha!! :D well.. sorry for the really late update.. :D i'll see you guys!! chow!! :D

happy day!! :)

2005-05-01T22:54:00.000-07:00

everyday has been wonderful.. God is so amazing.. eversince i started reflecting.. i've had better dreams.. like last night.. :P hayyyyyy.. well.. i'm gonna narrate to you guys what happened for the past few days..

last friday.. my sister had her surgery.. her 3rd molars (also known as wisdom teeth that will only erupt at the age of 18 or so) were extracted.. the operation was early in the morning.. 10am.. i wasn't able to accompany my sister because of the Gateway gimmick..

the Gateway gimmick.. fun.. but kinda disappointing.. i felt that way in the end because of 3 reasons..

1. kulang sa tao

2. kulang sa oras

3. kulang sa pictures

nyarrrr.. e frustrated photographer pa naman ako!! hindi ko malabas yung cam ko kasi nakakahiya!! yung isa kasi naming kasama ansarap upakan!! nakakapang-init actually ng ulo!! bulong kasi nang bulong na parang bata!! yung may kamay pa!! nyarrrrr!! anyway.. ito yung pics.. though walang matino

the gals..

SORRY NA!! NANGINGINIG AKO E!! ASA BANYO (MORE LIKE LOUNGE) KAMI NIYAN!!

and the guys..

GUY??!!

andun din tohng dalawang toh.. wala nga lang akong matinong picture nila.. nyarrrrr..

on the way home..

kami ni yeye.. sa taxi.. (likod) :P

HALA!! NAGKAULO YUNG PASSENGER'S SEAT!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! KATAKOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

the day went well.. by the time i got home.. that was already 8pm.. i was wondering why my sister (ate len) wasn't home yet.. turned out that she was still in ate jekha's clinic!! the surgery only ended at 5pm!! imagine!! 10am to 5pm of nonstop bleeding,, screaming and crying!! (more details in my sister's blog..) my sister got home by 8.30 or so.. she still had tears in her eyes.. she told us the whole story.. TRUST ME.. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT..

the next day.. (Saturday).. my sister was much better already.. :) she had a gig that night.. my sister asked me to accompany her.. just in case her gums bleed again.. i'll sing for her.. "back-up" was the term.. i of course said yes.. but i had a bad feeling i'd end up out of place the whole night because i'm not that close to anyone there..

when i got there with my sister and her band (actually they're Nucleus.. the sessioned for my sister because all members of Finding Mikko except ate len was in the city) the only people i know were the debutant (Ate Emma Agbayani),, the debutant's sister (Kristine Agbayani) and ate len.. once we got inside.. i saw......................

PATTI!! AKALAIN MONG ANDUN SI PATTI!! WELL SHE WAS THERE WITH JENNY (kita naman sa pic diba??) :P

wasted................ hahaha.. :P

i wasn't alone after all.. :) that's it for me..

the workshop will start tomorrow afternoon.. :) 5.30 to 7.30pm.. heheheheh.. :) i'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!! :D

2005-04-28T17:38:00.000-07:00

yesterday.. i had nothing to do the whole day so i did what i promised my sister for the past days.. i made a layout for her blog.. :) please visit my sister's blog!! :) http://lenlenlenlen.blogspot.com :) i'm so proud of my work for her because i even spent a longer time working on hers.. that just means i have tons of room for improvement when i begin my new layout.. FYI: I DO MY LAYOUTS LIKE 2 DAYS BEFORE I UPLOAD IT.. EFFORTLESS HUH??

anyhoo.. today's ate len's surgery.. i wish i could be there for her.. but if i come with her.. nobody's gonna stay at home and guard the house before my other sister (ate anna) arrives from school.. maybe that's the reason why i have been trying to be as nice as possible to my sister,, ate len.. :) i wish her so much luck..

yesterday.. my dad bought ate len's dream piano.. :) a red yamaha upright piano.. :) beautiful.. and furthermore.. the music that it generates when my sister started playing.. VERY EXQUISITE!! my sister was addicted and very much in love with her piano.. she stayed up until1 in the morning just playing.. ;)

i got pissed because Constantine wasa already kicked out of American Idol before Scot!! i hate that HUGE guy!! Anwar and Constantine are so much better than him!! HE HAS TO GO NOW!!

i still don't know the results of the auditions held last saturday at San Miguel Corp. Head Office, Ortigas.. that's the audition for Mr. Ryan Cayabyab's RARE AND FREE MUSIC WORKSHOP.. I REALLY WANT TO GET IN!! i pray to God every night for this.. there are two divisions.. musical instruments and vocal.. of course i auditioned for vocal.. it was a very nice experience for me.. though i really really REALLY want to get in.. if God doesn't want me in.. it's ok,, too because at least i got to audition and that's something i usually am a coward of.. :)

i have to go.. see you.. soon.. :P bye.. ;)

hmmm.. ;)

you think the title is cliché?? i thought so too.. but recently.. i have been doing some thinking.. my so-called "senti days".. Beth,, Bim,, Mea,, Hiram,, Aldinn,, Kristian,, Monmon,, Judric,, Tuds,, Jacque,, Anding,, Jel,, Jomari and Awin knows what i'm talking about.. it's those days i just get some quality alone time and pray.. and from these prayers and reflections.. i realize things i thought i would never figure out on my own.. so i'm doing this to let you all know what has been going with me.. and what exactly comes to my mind whenever i have these "senti days"..

for the past weeks.. a nightmare has been huanting me.. and i see it almost every night.. it's vague.. and it terrifies me every time i wake up.. and the more often i see it.. the worse reaction i get..

my bad dream goes like this.. i get shot right at the chest.. i don't know who shoots me and neither his or her reason for killing me in such a morbid manner.. i fall down.. then i wake up again.. this happens almost every night.. and i hate it.. i hate it so much..

so when the dream started to get to me.. as if it's telling me something.. i began to reflect.. it finally hit me.. i still didn't want to die.. but it's gonna happen eventually.. so i started to text people on how much they mean to me.. as i've said.. Beth,, Bim,, Mea,, Hiram,, Aldinn,, Kristian,, Monmon,, Judric,, Tuds,, Jacque,, Anding,, Jel,, Jomari and Awin all know what i've been saying..

so i'm making this entry for the same reason.. this goes for everyone that has been a part of my life..

first.. i want to apologize for the things i have done wrong.. nobody's perfect.. everybody makes mistakes.. i'm only human.. yet.. that's not an excuse for me to repeat the errors.. i wanna thank everyone for always being there for me.. all of you are part of my prayers.. I LOVE YOU ALL.. AND THANK YOU..

DAY/S TO REMEMBER

2005-04-22T23:04:00.000-07:00

last Friday was one of the most amazing things the great Lord gave me.. at some points,, it was a hurtful day for me.. but then.. it was also a day of reflection and enlightenment..

April 22,, 2005.. at first i never wanted that day to end.. well that was at first.. it started out awesome.. God gave me a reason to smile.. the sun wasn't up at that time.. but it felt like the sun was shining down glorious joy upon me.. that time was so beautiful.. i spent 3 hours on heaven.. i felt so good that i even felt like singing even though it was quite inappropriate.. the smile was plastered on my face.. i thought it was gonna last.. i was wrong..

by the time that magical moment ended.. it began to sink into me again... REALITY..

i must admit.. what i felt.. was too darn pathetic.. it was impossible.. perhaps.. i miss it.. that's all.. well because of that inaccurate assumption,, i ended up LITERALLY CRYING THE WHOLE DAY!!

i woke up.. when i held my sisters,, it was like feeling the hug i longed for the longest time.. i cried.. then i hugged my parents.. i felt the real love i have been seeking for.. i cried again.. when i finally got hold of myself,, i went to my sister's room and remembered something about a stupid blanket.. i cried once more.. i thought that was the last of my tears.. it turned out it was not yet over.. when i went outside to get some air,, i passed the living room.. seeing the sala,, i remembered the place i spent the most magical 3 hours of my life.. i then cried all over again.. at that,, i was already getting irritated at my oh-so-pathetic-and-weak-and-most-of-all-awful self.. but it still was not over.. when i finally locked myself in my sister's room,, i listened to some music and ended up hearing the exact same song i sang that morning.. so i cried again.. i was literally weeping for such SHALLOW REASONS!! then i spoke to Beth on the phone and ended up mourning the hardest and the longest and the LOUDEST (with the "*hu-hu-hu*-*cough-cough*-*hikbi-hikbi-hikbi*-*liit-ng-boses*-*mugto-yung-mata*-*pulang-pula-na-ilong*" hahaha.. :P)..

that was a DREADFUL DAY for me.. and i hated it.. at that time.. i had a lot on my mind.. a lot of questions.. a lot of doubts.. a lot fo regrets.. a lot of "what-if's".. a lot of anger towards myself.. but then i realized.. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT..

by evening.. i spoke to Hiram on the phone.. and i ended up just laughing out loud.. i finally understood myself..

well not exactly.. i was confused that day.. when i finally got quality alone time.. i just reflected on my actions.. i was crying while doing this.. when i didn't know what else to do,, i prayed.. real hard.. and IT ACTUALLY WORKS.. i came upon one good insight.. Correct me if i'm wrong ok??

"Feelings just don't come and go.. it takes time.. perhaps.. i missed having someone in my life.. but when i finally get into the details.. and remembering all the things i've done wrong in the past.. i realized.. i was ghastly and appallingly bad at having relationships.. bottom line is.. i'm not ready yet.. i admit it.. i still get butterflies in my stomach whenever i hear this person's name.. but that doesn't mean i desperately want to have something between the two of us.. that's different.. "

-that's from me.. :P

so at the end.. when Beth and i spoke again on the phone.. my tears were already replaced with a huge smile.. i was so happy.. Beth told me things i thought about.. it made me believe that i can actually handle this.. and i think i already have.. :)

well.. my realizations made me blissful again.. but that wasn't the only reason for it.. part of it came from the good news i got.. good news saying i have a chance on having one of the things in my wish list.. :P

by 6pm.. a woman called at our house looking for my dad.. i told her that he was not yet around.. she asked if i was Angela Marie and i affirmed it.. she then said that OUT OF THE 200 APPLICANTS,, I WAS BLESSED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE GROUP OF 100 HOPEFULS TO AUDITION AND GET INTO THE SAN MIGUEL CORPORATION MUSIC WORKSHOP.. i had my audition early this morning.. at 8.30 am.. april 23,, 2005 at the San Miguel Foundation Practice Room..

that day was amazing.. i was so nervous.. my hands were as cold as ice.. i was all sweaty in the air-conditioned waiting room.. i thought i was gonna puke.. specially when i found out that i was 3rd to audition.. that made my breath shorter than the speed of lightning.. i felt really sucky.. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS SO NERVOUS!! well.. i was nervous because of a very valid reason.. the people from San Miguel Corp. informed us that MR. RYAN CAYABYAB HIMSELF WAS GOING TO SCREEN US.. that made me tremble.. i was really terrified.. my mind already wants to leave.. but then my heart.. my heart that dares to dream.. MY HEART THAT URGED ME TO PURSUE AND JUST TRY TO REACH MY GOAL WENT FOR IT..

so there i was.. the 1st to try-out went in.. i heard her from outside even if the door was closed.. it was high.. and pleasant.. i expected for her to be in.. when she got out,, she was lead by another person from their crew to the Practice room across the big audition room.. the 2nd one was called.. when she went outside.. she was not lead to the next room.. so that was a bit controversial.. i assumed that getting into the next room is a good thing.. so i aimed for that..

finally i was called.. "Number 3!!" i went in.. upon entering,, i breathed a sigh of relief because Mr. Ryan Cayabyab was not there.. though rumors said that the purpose of having the VTR inside the audition room is for him to see and for him to give his inal verdict for each of the candidates.. i gave my piece to the pianist.. i looked at the judges.. there were 4 people inside the room excluding me.. 2 guy judges and 1 lady judge.. the last guy was the pianist.. i think he judged me too while playing.. before i started my song,, the judge at the far left of the long table asked me some questions.. well the whole audition went like this..

Strict Judge: Hi!! Angela Marie,, right??
Nervous Gigi: Yes..
SJ: I see in your from that you had formal voice lessons at U.P. before??
NG: Yes..
SJ: And you had this for how long??
NG: uhmmm.. 3 sems..
SJ: Extension class right??
NG: Yes..
SJ: Who was your teacher then??
NG: Miss Melody..
SJ: Oh!! Melody.. (Other judges nod and whisper with each other..) Ok.. What are you going to sing??
NG: 'I Still Believe' from 'Miss Saigon'..
SJ: Oh.. Ok.. You may begin..
NG: (sings..)

Last night I watch him sleeping
My body pressed to him
And then he started speaking
The name i heard him speak was Kim

Yes I know that this was years ago
But when moonlight fills my room
I know you are here... Still

I still... I still believe
You will return
I know you will
My heart against all odds
Holds still

Yes still... I still believe
I know as long as I can keep believing
I'll live... I'll live
Love cannot die
You will return... You will return
And I alone know why..........

SJ: Wohhhw.. Thank you.. And have you experienced performing with a choir or a chorale before??
NG: Yes.. I have..
SJ: Very Good.. Ok.. Please follow Deyo outside.. He will lead you to the next room..
NG: (in my mind.. :P) YES!! I'LL GO TO THE NEXT ROOM!!

When i went outside,, people were staring at me.. it felt awkward.. i didn't know if it was a good or bad thing.. well.. anyhoo.. i went to the next room.. inside were more corridors.. i was lead to a small studio-like room.. there was pretty woman inside.. i went in and she smiled at me.. this is what happened..

Pretty Judge: Hi!! Ok.. How old are you?? (Looks at form) Oh 14!!
Still Nervous Gigi: I'm turning 15 this May.. :)
PJ: Oh!! Happy Birthday!! :)
SNG: (chuckles :P)
PJ: Ok.. Are you familiar with this song?? (Points at the piece on the piano... The title of the song was "I Dreamed a Dream"
SNG: No.. Not really..
PJ: Ok.. Well we're gonna learn this song in an instant.. I'll sing a line then you'll echo.. I'll sing with you first.. Ok??
SNG: Ok.. :)
PJ: (starts to play then sings the first line)
SNG: (repeats)
That went on until we finished the whole verse..
PJ: Ok.. Now you're just gonna sing the 2nd verse witht the same melody of the 1st one i taught you.. (begins to play again)
SNG: (does as the teacher requested)
PJ: Ok.. Very good.. :) Now you'll be on your own.. You sing the melody.. I'll sing the 2nd voice..
SNG: Ok.. :)
PJ: (Plays again then sings the alto part)
SNG: (Sings incorrectly.. Nyarrr)
PJ: Ok let's do it again.. :P Wag kang kabahan.. :)
SNG: Ok.. :) Sorry po..
We then sang these verses together with beautiful blending.. :D

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

PJ: Ok.. Beautiful.. Thank you.. :)
SNG: Thank you din po.. :)
PJ: Just follow Deyo and then you may go.. :)
SNG: Thanks po.. :)

Phew!! Glad that was over!! :) The song was nice.. And its harmony was wonderful.. If God meants for me to get in,, I would love for that to be the song we'll be singing.. :P well.. that's basically my recent happenings..

2005-04-19T00:01:00.000-07:00

ok.. i haven't been able to blog for a while now.. let's just say i have been busy..

well actually.. our pc got busted AGAIN.. so there.. i hate our pc.. nyarrr.. anyway.. because of our defective pc.. i couldn't blog nor upload some photos of what's been happening with my life.. just to let you know.. i'm in an internet cafe right now.. so there..

i'll just upload the photos next time.. (hopefully) hayyyy.. i'll just tell you what's up with me.. :P

last april 12,, 2005.. my sister (ate Len) celebrated her 16th birthday.. my aunt (tita Eliz) also celebrated her birthday at the exact same date.. we did a lot of things together.. well basically.. the most significant of our 'activities' was when my sisters (ate Len and ate Anna) and i went to Robinson's Galleria to hang out as sisters.. that was the first Calvo-sisters bonding.. and that is a HUGE THING FOR ME.. :P we ate at the Podium with our relatives.. like i said.. i'll just post the pics (and details) next time.. :P

well last friday.. BNP --> Banda ni Pepeh (composed of patti our guitarist,, loui our drummer and the owner of our jamming place,, cheska our bassist and monmon our manager,, and of course me one of the vocalists) went to loui's place to practice.. :P i think we're gonna have a gig or something.. i don't know.. :P anyway.. we played a new song.. and we reviewed some old songs.. the songs we used to play.. anding (our keyboardist) and kristine (our other vocalist) weren't able to come because of some conflicts.. ate Jenny dropped by our practice.. after our short jamming (with some kwentuhan sessions),, we went to Cheska's place.. her dogs really gave Monmon a headache.. hahaha.. :P well.. we watched 50 First Dates at Cheska's house.. cheska has a lot of dvds.. and i mean A LOT!! :P after our gimmick.. monmon gave me a ride near T.Sora to make it easier for me to get home.. well.. all in all.. I HAD A BLAST!! i would certainly want to do it again..

well SPUDZ (Awin's band of music gods) wants to jam with us.. i want to.. i really do.. it's just that i think our band still is not ready for them.. we get intimidated because they're really good.. scary!! nyarrrrrrr.. anyway.. we'll trymm soon.. :P

then.. last saturday.. april 16th 2005.. bim,, beth (with her family),, carmeluz and i went to see the Rivermaya/Kitchie Nadal concert at Araneta Colliseum.. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANLUPET!! hayyyyyy.. details next time.. :P

past is past.. or is it?? (ii3 and 2c.. the entry that you need to read is below.. thank you..)

2005-04-11T16:42:00.000-07:00

well obviously,, i have been problematic for the past few days.. this day isn't any different..

i thought i could keep myself from uttering emotional shit in my blog.. but i guess.. if i don't let it out.. then i'll just suffer more not expressing my depression..

there are times i find myself stupid because of the way i choose my "crushes".. well basically.. so far.. i choose good ones.. it's just that more often than not,, these people just don't have the same affection towards me..

i feel rather dumb because i find myself questioning myself.. "Bakit mo pa kasi pinipilit yung sarili mo sa mokong na yun??!! He obviously doesn't like you.." but then.. i just can't walk away.. i can't.. my mind wants to but my heart rejects..

oh man.. i feel so sad.. if i could just let it out.. but then again.. i don't think i have to.. if he's not manhid.. i know for a fact na he already knows..

hayyy.. bahala na..

i asked 5 special people to help me with my stupid situation.. for the 5 of you,, i want to thank you for always being there for me.. Hiram was the first to respond to my problem.. he gave me some useful advices.. i guess he is right.. i should just go back to my good old "GiGi ways.. " i can do that.. and i guess i have no other choice but do that.. well.. whatever happens.. i am never giving up.. NEVER..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

anyway.. today's my sister's birthday!! i have a couple of good news up my sleeve.. first is that the Calvo-sisters bonding has gotten even higher.. our sisterhood is now into the next level.. no more lies.. no more regerets.. no more secrets.. just plain Love and Trust.. the second good news benefits me.. :P i can chew again!! yeyey!! :P we have plans for the night.. well.. i'll just write again tomorrow!! i'm outtie!! byebye!! :P

i'm hurt..

2005-04-11T13:13:00.000-07:00

i feel bad.. people have been talking about me.. i'm hurtting right now.. damn.. and i told myself i will never pour emotions ever again in my blog.. perhaps this shall be the last time..

people say i'm not their average ordinary girl.. i thought that was a compliment.. but then it turned out not to be.. they say my standards are so damn high.. they say i don't have a mind of my own because i go with my family..

WELL NEWS FLASH: I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY VALUES FOR YOU!!

you think you can come into my life and try to change me?? i don't think so!! my family will always be first!! you may think that that's the most abnormal thing but i don't care!! i love my family and right now,, i only live for them!! i choose to serve my family because i love doing great things for them!! i love my family!! i don't have the right to disobey them!! i don't like lying to my family!! and most of all.. i'd kill for them!!

i have done tons of sacrifice already!! why can't you change this time.. adjust.. but i guess that's too much to ask!!

YOU THINK THAT MY STANDARDS ARE TOO HIGH??!! DAMN!! I DON'T CARE!! YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME??!! YOU HAVE TO FACE YOUR FEARS AND LIVE WITH IT!!

do you hate me??!! well go ahead!! i can't really do anything about it right??!! i am naturally like this!! this is me!! and nothing is ever gonna change me.. i cannot take lying and hiding from my parents!! i am open with my siblings!! i am not ashamed if guys call at my house.. my parents joke around with me.. they know what is happening with my life.. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!

THERE IS NO "REAL" RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT YOUR FAMILY'S CONSENT!! DAMN!! I AM SO MAD!! HURT!!

Anding is right.. it is fun just to slam random keys on your keyboard.. haha.. :P

well.. i wen to my Dentist' (Doc Jekha) clinic at Taft Ave. to have my regular check-up.. right now,, my braces are KILLING me.. oh well.. it is part of the process right?? hayyyy..

there are some things in life we can't really explain right?? like what the hell is "LOVE"?? from my experience.. it's simply giving someone a chance to hurt you.. what's the difference of falling in love with having a crush?? i don't know.. hell i don't know.. in both situations.. you have someone you care for.. perhaps the most obvious difference is the fact that when you're in love.. you're with that person.. when you have a crush.. you just admire the person.. what i'm feeling right now.. is different..

you know the feeling you have for a person you really really like?? it's like saying.. i like you so go away!! weird huh??!! it's like you're in between liking and loving someone.. you want to be with him and the same time you also don't want it to happen because you just might end up losing him or her.. you might hurt each other..

oh man!! what am i saying??!! why do i even like this person?? he's too good to be true.. to me.. having this affection for him is like having a childish crush towards a famous artist.. it's too vague..

you feel like you're alone.. left out.. useless.. and again.. you don't have to be.. it's like you're making yourself feel that way.. because people don't treat you as if you're lonely.. it's weird.. why am i being like this??!!

i have to stop.. but please.. do help me with my situation.. i don't know what to do!! i'm hurtting when i need not to!! i don't know what to do!! :(

our vacation in laguna,, lsgh soph night,, my layouts and my life.. :P

2005-04-08T05:33:00.000-07:00

THIS SHALL BE ANOTHER LOOOOOONG ENTRY.. :P SO JUST DO "THE TECHNIQUE" I HAVE SAID BEFORE.. :D

as promised,, i'm going to tell you where we went and what we did during our vacation.. but before that,, i'm gonna narrate to you guys the happenings at the la salle green hills sophomores' night.. besides.. we had our vacation the day after that event.. so here it goes..

hmmm.. where shall i begin?? well.. i don't really want to tell EVERYTHING because it's kinda.. (hmmm.. what's the term..??) revealing.. so i'll just dwell on the (uhmmm..) positive side of the story.. Mea and Tuds were there which made me very very happy.. at first i thought that i'll be the only ii3 student - let alone the only girl - in that event.. i mean girls who i can actually have a decent conversation with.. i thought that i'll be out of place because i'm gonna be surrounded by 2c boys only.. my parents knew about this.. they of course thought i was crazy to have agreed on such a stupid idea.. (going out not accompanied by a girl..) the weird part was that they still allowed me to go.. :P

well basically my parents drove me to Valley Verde 6 at the Ortigas extention.. the event was held in the clubhouse of the said village.. the theme was SUMMER.. we were in our "beach wear".. when i got there (STILL WITH MY PARENTS),, my 'date' wasn't there yet.. my dad fell asleep in the vehicle.. (FYI:vehicle=i keep addressing our "car" a "vehicle" because it's not really a car.. my dad drives an ISUZU Highlander SLX.. so there.. :P) while my mom checked out the party.. my gave me"THE LOOK".. (FYI:the look=doom,, the dirty looking saying "your plan of this soph night has TROUBLE written all over it..",, my mom looked red like a stoplight obviously saying STOP THIS NONSENSE..) at that,, i was officially desperate for some good sign for me to still be allowed to go.. my parents can change their decision in a snap.. i thought they would already take me home because so far,, nothing (ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) has been going right.. 1. i ended up disturbing both of my parents and their just to take me to the venue.. 2. my parents had no idea who was my 'date'.. 3. i think we went to the party early.. (OR DID WE??).. i then called Mea's phone then i asked where she was then.. she said her car's parked as well in the village.. that gave me such a relief.. PHEW!! i got off our vehicle and went with Mea already.. that's the only time i knew Tuds was already there.. :) they were with Kristian and Jay..

i had with me my oh-so-late-christmas gift for Judric.. it's a photo i took last November 17,, 2004 (our class interaction with 2c of LSGH).. i put it in a frame to make it more pleasant.. i also slipped in a chocolate bar and a long letter just for him.. well let's just say that Judric has been a big help in my lousy life.. when i was sad,, he was there.. when i was happy,, he's also a part of the reason why.. he was also there when my cellphone was snatched at Robinson's Galleria.. well.. he did a lot for me.. YOU GET THE PICTURE.. :) when he received my abysmal gift for him,, he offered me a hug which actually made my heart melt.. i thought my gift was hideous.. :P

as the night went on,, i didn't really enjoy much.. the fun part actually was when i was in the vehicle with my parents.. that's why the whole time i was in the clubhouse and my parents were dating at Eastwood,, i was praying for them to come back and fetch me already.. perhaps because having to chat with my parents about stuff like boys or school or friends or my dreams is really rare.. i got to joke around with them.. my dad shared a little of his experience working in Singapore and in Indonesia.. but then as i've said he dozed off.. my mom told me about her first party.. (hehehe.. :P) i had so much fun speaking with them.. truly,, the best friends you'll ever have are your parents.. (THAT INCLUDES GOD THE FATHER OF COURSE.. :D) well.. i had to make my own fun somehow during the party.. so.. (i think this won't be a surprise to you.. :P) i took pictures.. here are some.. :P

well finally 11pm came and my parents already arrived from their date.. they took me home.. when i got home,, i immediately started packing my clothes and the essentials for our outing the very next day.. :P well technically it was the VERY SAME DAY because we arrived home at 12am.. :P when i was finally done with my packing,, the lights went out as the air-conditioners died down.. turns,, it was a brownout.. ouch!! the heat was killing me!! i couldn't sleep!! when i kept on changing places on my bed,, my sister sat up.. i wasn't the only one who couldn't rest because of the warmth after all!! :P so my sister (Ate Anna) and i ended up just talking.. i told everything about the sophnight and why i didn't really enjoy it.. i told her EVERYTHING.. (FYI:EVERYTHING=with details,, with feelings.. :P) of course the exchange of comments went on for a long time.. by 1.30am my other sister (Ate Len) went in Ate Anna's room (FYI:Ate Anna's room=i sleep at Ate Anna's room.. my things are at Ate Len's room :P)and joined in our conversation.. so we had siblings-bonding all because we couldn't sleep.. again.. i enjoyed because having to spend time with my family is infrequent.. :P

by 2am.. we ran out of stories.. we were sleepy but the high temperature was just too unbeatable.. the three of us couldn't sleep.. so Ate Anna and i made a pact.. we swore to only sleep once there was electricity.. Ate Len also agreed with this deal.. so we Calvo sisters decided to play games.. we first played cards.. after two sets of "Pusoy Dos" NAGASAWA AGAD KAMI.. we all wanted to play boardgames.. :D we wanted to play Visionary but there was no light.. it would be hard if we played that.. so we made a little modification.. instead of drawing what's in the card,, we shall act it.. we ended up playing what we all call "charades.." :P

by 3am.. we were still awake because there still was no electricity.. but Ate Len was so damn sleepy that she has managed to ignore the heat.. Ate Anna and i on the other hand still couldn't sleep.. so we didn't.. :P i was reading while Ate Anna was playing "Bounce" in her cellphone with the cheats that's why she just goes on and on because she never dies (IN THE GAME!! =D).. by 3.20am the electricity was back already.. we turn the air-conditioner on and in no time,, all 3 of us were asleep already.. :P

at 4.30am.. Mommy was already waking us up.. so we did.. we all prepared ourselves for our overnight vacation in Laguna.. :D all 3 of were asleep in the vehicle..:P we made a stopover and had our breakfast in Jollibee at the South Luzon Expressway.. :P after that,, we finally came to our destination.. :P

we went to La Vista Pansol,, Laguna.. :P to make along story short,, let these pictures (AND SOME CAPTIONS.. :P) convey the chronicles.. :D

we had nothing to do in the vehicle :P

my beloved family

we toured the resort with our dad.. :P

swimming time in the morning!! :P we were playing "LOOK FOR THE COIN" or whatever that game's called.. GO FIGURE!! :P

swimming time in the afternoon!! :D

we ate at Max's Chicken because it was the nearest restaurant we could dine in.. :P

sleeping time.. (BUT WE - OR SHALL I SAY I?? - STILL HAD TIME TO TAKE PICTURES.. :P)

picture-picture in the vehicle on the way home.. :D

as for the rest.. we have secrets,, too you know.. :D

i totally had fun with my family!! :P i couldn't ask for anything else.. :D when we went home it was Maundy Thursday already.. the next day (Good Friday) we did our traditional Visita Iglesia.. we also watched the 7th Heaven marathon as a family.. we also watched "The Passion of the Christ" which still brings me to tears seeing our beloved and innocent Brother,, Jesus being tortured to death.. we had a meaningful Holy Week..

well some weeks have already passed since the Holy Week.. :P i have a new obsession this summer.. :P that's making blogs and blog layouts.. :P i know that i am still an amateur with this stuff but i'm learning and having fun all at the same time.. :D i have 3 done layouts already.. i'll perhaps post it every after month or when i feel doing so.. :P

that's it for me.. :P i'll just keep you posted ok!! bye!! :D byebye!! mwah!! >:D< :)

recognition day practice,, recognition day,, giving of cards and MANY MANY MORE!!

2005-04-06T00:11:00.000-07:00

TO THE READERS OF MY BLOG,, PREPARE YOURSELVES TO THE LONGEST BLOG ENTRY OF MY NATURAL BORN LIFE (so far!!) IF I WERE YOU,, I WOULD HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT AS I READ ALONG.. IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH EASIER FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT WITH THIS (hmmm...) STRATEGY.. :P SO GOODLUCK!! :D

i told you i would tell you the whole story of what happened with me and Bim when we went SM North EDSA last tuesday,, march 28,, 2005.. so here it goes.. :D well.. basically.. we went there for 3 reasons,, that is: 1. to buy tickets for the kitchie nadal back to back with rivermaya to be held at the araneta coliseum on the 16th of april,, 2. to have fun with Bim and Beth,, and lastly 3. to give this guy one last chance to regain himself.. of course,, every gimmick has its own imperfections.. this one was worse.. it was one HECK OF A FIASCO!! (FYI: FIASCO= dud,, disaster,, mess) the original plan was i,, Bim and Beth will meet at Radio City near Sbarro in SM North EDSA by 11am.. we invited Martin,, Kristian,, Judric,, Jomari and Awin to come,, too.. the first bad news was that we couldn't contact Judric.. then Jomari texted me that he wasn't allowed by his parents to go out.. well they are reasonable explanations.. so it was just fine..

Bim and I were extatic of the gimmick from the very start.. so as planned.. Bim and I were there by 11am.. actually,, i came there at 10.30am.. i had my hair cut.. ;) as expected.. some of us were late.. 12 noon came and still none of our other friends have shown up.. when 30 minutes passed and Bim and i started to get tired from strolling the mall,, we decided to eat.. we ate at Pizza Hut.. (yeyey!! :D)

RJ was our server.. obviously from the picture above,, Bim and I had nothing to do.. so we just put our "hidden vanity" into good use and started taking pictures.. after all,, i did bring MY digicam.. SAYANG NAMAN DIBA?? :P (FYI:MY=my family's ;D)

well.. to make the long story short.. Beth and Kristian never showed up.. Martin was 3 hours late.. Awin was there with spudz (his band :D) Spudz had a jamming.. their plan was to meet there at SM North EDSA then they'll proceed to Awin's place.. so basically Awin just squeezed us in his busy schedule.. (PROPS TO YOU,, AWIN!! I AM IMPRESSED.. :D YOU MADE MY DAY.. ESPECIALLY BIM'S.. :D) you get the picture.. i don't really want to give out all the gory details.. (FYI:GORY=let's just say.. i reacted violently when something went up..) i'll just focus on the happy side of the story..

Bim went and ended up sleeping at my place.. that was so much fun.. we stayed up late having endless telebabad sessions.. :P we spoke to carmeluz,, awin,, jonathan,, eco,, ave and mea.. :P

we stayed up until 2am.. though she kinda drifted off earlier than i did.. hahaha.. :P

of course,, we took some pictures before sleeping.. here's one..

as for the rest.. let's just leave the fact that bim and i also have secrets only the two of us share.. (bwahahaha..:D)

well because of the things that happened that day,, Awin is now officially the greatest guy ever!! BIM!! SALUDO AKO SA IYONG PAGPILI!! I'M HERE FOR YOU ALL THE WAY!! YIHEEEEE!! :D Awin bought Bim a Sun sim.. HOW SWEET IS THAT??!! :"> I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BIM!! >:D< :-* he also helped us when we had trouble getting our concert tickets.. he also treated Bim and me for coffee.. he also helped me get over something that was confusing me.. so there.. the day eneded to be actually a very weird night.. weird in a sense that i really didn't understand what i was feeling then.. it was a mixture of feelings and thoughts.. perhaps the series of events throughout that day was.. what's the term.. shall i say.. INTERESTING?? well.. i guess that would best describe it.. because i had many realizations and decisions that night.. thanks to Bim and Awin,, i feel great now.. ;) in the end.. i felt ok that night.. well partly also because that was the night when i got the call from our class adviser that i was an outstanding student for the school year 2004-2005.. yeyey!! :D we were asked to attend the practice for the recognition day program.. that rehearsal was done yesterday (04.04.05).. we were also asked to bring P150 for our pictures to be taken on the actual recognition day.. :P we're 6 from ii3 namely: ma. elizabeth afan,, ma. monica barles,, angela marie calvo (ako yun!! :D),, carmela christina pangan,, stephanie jude pascual and andrea celine quejada.. :D

that's us after one whole day of practice.. :D

that practice was also very INTERESTING!! i came there to practice of course.. but more than that.. i came there to be with my friends.. of course i was on my right mind that day.. that's why i brought MY digicam along with extra batteries in case.. :P like i have said before,, photography is my frustration.. :D I LOVE TAKING PICTURES.. :D

the practice went on from 8am until 3pm.. it began with a prayer.. then it was checking of attendance.. at first we didn't know if Beth was an OS,, too.. but her name was called.. that was the only time we knew that she was.. turns out.. Beth was not informed by our class adviser because Mrs.Magcamit could not reach Beth's cellphone nor landline.. i called Beth's dad and thank God.. Beth was able to come even if she was late.. it is better late than never right?? :P

beth came after our recess.. that explains why she's not in some of the pictures.. (hehehe..:D) and before i forget!! obviously yeye (hazel crisostomo) was with us the whole day except (uhmmm..) dismissal.. :P after recess.. anding played the song "Mary" for the closing prayer of the program.. i sang it in the other hand.. i don't really want to talk about that.. it's the most embarrassing moment of my life.. let's just leave it at that,, shall we?? :P then we had our lunch..

of course breaks will never be complete without our Kodak moments.. :P we then went to the social hall and practiced the whole program twice.. then it was our release.. (parang preso!! hahaha.. :D)i stayed a little longer for chorale practice..

obviously we had nothing to do while waiting for our fetchers.. :P well.. i wasn't exactly waiting for my "fetcher".. i had to go home alone.. of course,, Mea.. my great ANGEL helped me.. she dropped my off at Quezon Avenue making it easier for me to walk home all the way to Visayas Ave.. hahaha.. joke!! :P i rode on a jeepney..

this is me and mea in mea's car.. :D

finally.. it was recognition day.. that was just this morning!! :P (04.05.05) :D well the program went on as planned.. i sang the Philippine National Anthem with my sister and ate Chax and Nikki (WE ARE ALSO KNOWN AS LUPANG HINIRANG GIRLS :P) to lead the guests.. :D we were given our certificates.. our chorale sang 2 pieces.. the dance stream performed a dance.. (of course.. :P) a program would never be complete without the speeches of the "BIG PEOPLE" of the school.. (i'll say no more.. :D)then i lead the people in singing "Mary" as anding played the piano for our closing prayer.. then it was done.. here are some pics.. :P

sorry if it's blurry.. obviously i wasn't the one who took the next one.. (hahahaha..:P) though it's nice to know i was near the center for a change.. :P i was always positioned on the upper right corner of the risers all thoughout gr.1 to gr.5.. hahahah.. :P well almost.. you get the picture.. :P

my family then ate at Don Henrico's at Banawe.. :P as a tradition.. we took pictures there as well!! :P

the waiter took the next 2 pics.. see the difference of using the flash and not using one.. the first one had no flash.. the 2nd one had.. what do you like better?? :P

weird huh?? :P i thought so too.. :P well we then returned to STC to get my report card and my sister's as well.. :P (FYI: SISTER meaning ate Len.. :P) seeing my beloved classmates.. i also took pictures of course!! :D

nice huh?? well by 2pm.. my family had to leave already.. :( so we went home.. by the time we got in the vehicle.. that's the only time i saw my report card.. i'm very much contented with my grades.. :D i congratulate myself,, for i have once again passed a year.. :D steph and i had one thing in common in our report card.. it's a great honor to be included in that chosen 6!! STEPH!! CONGRATS!! ALABSHU!! :-* mrs.magcamit and ms.calderon left me some very useful advice on life and words of wisdom for the next school year.. THANK YOU MRS.MAGCAMIT AND MS.CALDERON!! :D

ms. judith calderon also told me some weird things.. like.. she wanted to fix my eyebrows!! hahaha.. :P (her exact words were "NANGANGATI NA AKO GI!! PAG FOURTH YEAR KA NA AKO MAG-AAYOS NIYAN A!!" hahahaha.. :D) she also said that i was getting fat.. oh well.. :P

bored.. bored.. bored.. oh!! and have i mentioned bored??!!

2005-04-02T12:10:00.000-08:00

ok.. yesterday was a boring day.. and i know why.. MY SUN SIM HAD NO SIGNAL ALL MORNING!! though i had access to my 24/7 call and text unlimited by the afternoon.. (Thank God!! sayang naman yung isang araw mula sa 7 days na P100!! mahal!! huhuhu) hmmm.. let's TRY not making it a 'boring' day.. shall we??

i woke up at 10am with a smile on my face today.. i had the best and the same time the weirdest dream ever.. just ask me personally what it is.. right now.. it's for me to know and for you to find out..

i went online.. i updated my 'blog' as you may have noticed.. :P i made a blog specifically for 'memorable stuff' and then another one focusing more on what i'm feeling.. basically.. i just HAD to use all three layouts because i fell in love with each of them.. like i have said.. i'll try making my own blog layout later.. i'm still learning how to.. this blog is for the SPECIFIC and i mean a play-by-play account of what has happened for the day or for a special occasion.. you get the picture.. :P

then jonathan - a friend from lsgh went online as well.. as usual we chatted.. i was asking him to leave a chatter in my tagboard.. just see for yourself.. WHAT A COMMENT!! :P i ate then went online again.. I OBVIOUSLY HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO!! i caught up with my girls from ii3!! i definitely miss them!! cheska was online!! it's cool because she only uses ym once in a blue moon!! we chatted about a lot of things.. actually,, we spoke more about this problem i have been having for the past days.. she gave me some useful advice on what to do.. but furthermore,, we once again had our 'kwentuhan session'.. i have missed that a lot.. but most especially,, i have missed cheska a lot!! then i began to receive my long-awaited sun cellular signal.. i received 8 messages!! damn was i logged or what??!! i forwarded some messages making sure my unlimited calls and texts are "sulit".. my sun friends - bim,, awin,, jonathan,, patti,, ikai,, mea - and i texted for a while.. then came the usual calls from awin caused by his boredom.. :P

jonathan and i then spoke on the phone.. it was quite a long conversation.. it went on from 5.30 until 7.20 in the evening.. i was laughing hysterically because we had a time when we were just exchanging jokes.. there was one joke that i really bought.. when i tried this gag with my sisters,, they didn't even budge.. that only implies that i am a very shallow person.. the other day,, jonathan and i were talking about the television series,, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.!! he has the whole collection from season 1 to 10!! "INGGIT AKO!! SOBRA!!" it's nice to have someone with similar interests.. we also agree that Jojo is hot!! some people say she's not really pretty.. as for me.. i really really like Jojo.. she beautiful,, she's young.. and most of all,, she has this unique singing ability that so far it hink is UNBEATABLE!! :P

then came this really cool april fool's day prank in a form of text.. i received this from ate karla - one of the venturina twins.. it went like this:

"Mommy ng kambal to,pwde bng wg n kau mgttxt sa knya,dhl salintek n unLmted txt n yan, np2bayaan n nya ang kanyang...

PAG-AARTISTA!

April Fools'! Ü"

i thought it was real.. i was really fooled.. i wanted to get my revenge.. so i forwarded it to my sun friends.. bim replied and said she thought it was real.. ikai reacted the same way.. jonathan answered differently..

"Nglyas ako smen.,pwd bA Snio muNa ako kht ngYn lng? txtbk ASAP pls.tnx

panic KA nOh?.,Ü

HaHaHa!Ü

aPril fOoLs!!!Ü"

so basically i was "april fooled" twice.. oh thank God that 's over.. (hehehe.. ü) the night went on for me like the usual.. my dad came home drunk.. my sister spoke to someone on the phone..

my sister's phonecall made me nervous.. i hope she's ok..

BEFORE I FORGET,, the other day,, Bim and i went to SM North EDSA.. i'll just tell the story next time.. ;)

it was not so boring after all..Ü well.. that's it for me.. i'm outtie!! bye!! :-)

INTRODUCTION.. (???) A Little Blast from the Past.. ;)

2005-04-01T00:36:00.000-08:00

wow.. three blog entries in just one day.. hehehe.. (nawili e!! :P)

a lot has happened to me in the past.. so that's what i am gonna share with you this time.. after all,, this is my journal.. and i just want to express what's going through my mind..

i was born on the 15th of may,, year 1990.. my uncle accompanied my mom when she was in labor with me.. at first he didn't believe my mom that her water broke already and that she needed to be rushed to the hospital.. a very unlikely story eh?? well.. the reason why my uncle didn't believe her at first was that the night before my birth,, my mom thought she was already going to give birth to me.. my uncle became oh so worried.. they immediately went to the hospital.. and presto!! it was a false alarm.. nice one!! well.. thankfully,, that next day was already real.. my mom gave life to me on that special day..

like any other average ordinary girl,, i studied in very good schoosl.. i went to montessori for nursery and kinder,, then went to st'mary's and repeated kinder (for the reason i never really understood) and finally ended up in st. theresa's college, q.c. from prep up until now..

years passed and that little girl became me.. simply me.. a girl of many dreams and ambitions.. my name's angela marie macalino calvo.. you can call me gigi.. as you may all know,, i love to sing..

singing.. my ultimate love and passion.. a thing i do not miss practicing every single day.. something i thank God for.. i have been singing eversince like forever.. :P i had my first solo when i was in second grade.. first communion.. responsorial psalm.. i definitely will not forget that.. i have mastered with my heart the song i sung in that very meaningful mass.. the mass that signified that i was mature enough to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.. then followed more chances of sharing my gift.. i sing for absolutely any reason.. i also use singing as my way of expression.. i sing whenever i am happy,, sad,, angry,, or just plain neutral..

i definitely will always remember grade 6.. a very fruitful schoolyear for me.. the schoolyear when i tried things i would never imagine myself doing.. i studied thrice as hard that year because it was the year i graduated my elementary years.. this is also the time i actually used my intellect in getting my butt out of trouble.. i was caught bringing a cellphone in school that yeasr.. but because of my way with words,, i got away with it!! (bwahahaha!! :P) do you hate me now??!! well we have different strategies right?? that was what i had to do.. :P that was also the year where celine and i started to shine.. we sang together in the confirmation and in the graduation.. i so miss working with celine.. singing with her has just been the best.. noone can ever replace her.. :")

another interest of mine is photography..a HUGE frustration of mine.. something i love doing but not sharing.. trust me.. i'm no good in taking pictures.. you're in luck if i get to take ok ones.. RIGHT JUDRIC??!! (hoy magcomment ka sa tagboard ko ha!!)

schoolyear 2004-2005 definitely would be something i'll remember as i mature even more.. i'll miss my kada.. bim,, carme,, and beth (even if something's come up,, i still love you beth!!).. i'll miss the laughs and tears.. everything about ii3 has just been amazing.. (for those who do not what the hell i am talking about,, ii3 is my section in st. theresa's college,q.c.. we're going to be reshuffled next schoolyear that's why i'm having this exagg dramatic act in my blog entry..)

last november 17, 2004.. we had our class interaction.. ii3 with 2-c of la salle green hills.. obviously,, a very memorable occasion.. this is not exactly the beginning of my 'social life'.. but definitely the strart of my love life..

right now.. i'm not quite serious with anything but my studies.. call me a freak but i like going to school.. and not just for recess nor lunch nor dismissal.. being with my friends is part of it of course.. but i like learning things.. (now i really sound like a geek)

i am young.. a lot more is to come.. as for those kids of my age who are rushing things in having a love life.. don't be in such a hurry.. enjoy being a kid.. it's just once in a lifetime.. you might have regrets in the end.. God has already planned the "one" for each of us.. if you haven't found him or her,, give it a little time.. that's what i learn from our reco last year.. a statement i have kept in my mind eversince..

from my previous entries of the day,, as you see,, i am problematic right now.. i have been dying to tell this guy something but i don't exactly know how..

i have to think about this more.. please help me with my situation.. please.. i need your help.. thanks..

random thoughts.. ugh

2005-03-31T16:38:00.000-08:00

i'm confused.. i have a lot in my mind right now.. i'm starting to really hate myself.. ugh.. who'd have thought?? and i admit it.. i have a lousy life..

go figure..

i'll just study and study and study and study.. of course,, if i get to have a new life,, i'd probably have a life.. right now i'll just use my time wisely.. and that's for my studies..

damn.. i have to make it up to my parents.. i owe them a lot.. that's why i have to double my efforts come third year..

ugh.. third year.. we're gonna be reshuffled by that schoolyear.. i feel bad.. but i can't really do anything about it.. i'll definitely miss my classmates.. esprecially bim..

i went to school this morning.. our music chorale practiced for a number in the recognition day on the 5th of april..

i am so happy because i get to march on that special day.. weeks of nothing but studying was worth it!! i feel so contented.. thank God..

there's something bothering my mind right now.. how can i tell him?? i feel so hopeless.. oh well.. good luck to me.. hayyyyyyyyyy.. :(

if you do know my situation.. please.. help me.. i really need it.. thanks..

something new..

2005-03-31T16:00:00.000-08:00
