...shet the life of a busy bee

actually busy-busihan lang...

ergh... i hate school, i don't like theology!

thank god for sweet charity!

My bubu is here on satuday night! Excitement in the air!

have a new blog layout thanks to rony's sister!

my bubu is here for our 23 month together! wahooo!

now im bored... shet i hope i do well in school this semester.

hope i become a better actor.

my parents are going to the states, i think they are spending the holidays there with my grandparents in florida... leaving us, their children to fend for ourselves... hehe actually my siblings and i are planning to spend christmas in baguio with my other lola and we do the cooking for her. i miss her. i remember her taking us to the huge cathedral with the long steps every sunday. and buying us cotton candy (bubblegum flavor!) at the coney island store over at session road. there was also burnham park and camping out with my cousins---cooking sardines, rice and corned beef on fire and coal. hay baguio... kaya lang today ndi masyadong malamig dun.

we would also want my nephew aeden to experience baguio, like we always used to when we would spend our christmas and summer breaks there. my dad and his siblings grew up in baguio, went to a belgian (maybe american) school there--- st. louis boy's high, or something. was looking through his pictures, as in they were wearing neck ties, cardigans, and pleated pants and all the boys had the same semi-kalbo haircut. funny how in manila the spanish influence is quite evident, in baguio, well through my dad's pictures, the american culture is the more prominent one. my dad and his cousins even shined shoes in burnham to get 5 cents. each had their own crate of shoe shining tools... they did this to get extra money, not naman parang yung parang mga bata bigla nalang linilinisan mga paa natin kung asa jip, only realizing it of course after you have screamed and kicked the kid... anyhoo fun story...

am goin with geegee to makati... waiting for her now... i call her the dancing hippo, my partner in crime! ergh... its hot here!

bubu! im excited ull be here na!!!! mwah!

... been back here for more than a week and been thrust into reality right when i stepped on Philippine soil. Been missing Rony and it sucks being away from him... but we do our usual phone calls and text messages... we keep in touch and though it's different from being with him, it's the next best thing. Time flies by really fast anyway, it's going to be December in no time and he'll fly down here and we'll get to spend time before the holidays!

I just wish I could hug him though... *sigh*

My mom and dad came here from Pangasinan last night. My mom left after dinner cause it's the first day of school in the University of Pangasinan where she teaches as a professor. My dad is in town for a week of conference meetings in some hotel, but he doesn't like checkin in and just stays in the apartment. That means it's a week of kakuletan from my dad!

Anyway my mom was here to show support for my younger bro Carlo in his capping ceremonies. My bro finished the first phase of being a nursing student i think... he still has two years to go so he is not exactly a nurse yet... but now he is some kind of a certified caregiver. Not sure if he plans to join the Filipino nurse diaspora in the US or Europe... but he has already made the decision that he wants to be a Doctor, better that than a nurse, not that there's anything wrong with being a nurse, it's just that my dad has been trying to get someone in our family to follow in his footsteps.

My older brother and I have chosen the Fine Arts field so, so my dad failed in convincing us. But at least now, looks like Papsi is going to have two doctors (my sister is finishing up nursing school and is going to take the exam to get into medical school in april... crazy people).

So yeah... I had my 7:30 Philo class this morning... sucks waking up that early to listen to annoying lectures... ergh... so after that class I went back home... took a nap. I still had a 4:30 to 7:30 class so, before that I hung out with my mother and Aeden my nephew!!!

On blueREP: Been busy doing Sweet Charity work, another musical which I am part of and PMing for. So excited for rehearsals to start already!

I got Theology class in tagalog... of course I freaked out... I mean I do understand tagalog and I speak it fluently, but it is different when your lectures are in tagalog. The first day of class, I was scared cause I didn't understand how he was explaining the syllabus. All his tests, papers, projects will be in Filipino... so im going to switch to an english speaking section... yuck feeling hindi Pinoy! Anyway it is time for bed... But before that lookie:

... It's all because of Bu...

... so stay with me and hold me tight...

Shucks this is going to be my last entry from Hong Kong... although I am excited to go back home and see my family... I'm a bit sad that my stay here has come to an end... that playing house with Rony will have "to be continued."

I had the best 17 days of my life here in Hong Kong with Rony... when I first got here, it seemed that more than two weeks was going to be really long, however now, looking back, it feels too short a time. A week or two more with bu would be the best, hmmm make that everyday for the rest of our lives hehe! But all good things must come to an end in order to make room for better ones ahead.

I'll miss Hong Kong... everything about it that I experienced. The food, shopping, ferry rides to Central, walking around Tsim Sha Tsui, Ocean park, The Space Museum, Disneyland! hanging out with Rony by the plaza and having take out... Looking out the beach from Rony's balcony... Cooking for Rony... Hugging Rony and watching him sleep... God morning kisses... Holding hands... the I love you's... DVD nights...

*sigh*

It's going to be hard again getting unused to all these... but I know that it's going to be harder for Rony. I got blueREP to keep me busy in school and my siblings to take my mind off things when I get home. I'm just worried and sad cause when Rony gets home I won't be there waiting for him... and he'll be all by himself... I know he'll be sad cause he said he has already gotten used to me being there. I just hope na it won't be so bad. I don't want him feeling down and if only hugs and kisses could be sent through email... I'd do that to keep him warm at night...

I'm all packed up, Rony took a nap for a little bit... I'll miss him so much... we were 22 months on the 4th... whoa, almost two years, am glad we're still together... despite the distance... despite the difficulties that all relationships go through... I just hope he knows how grateful I am of him and how lucky I feel to be loved by him.

I'll be thinking of you everynight bu...

I love you... Happy 22 months!
I'll miss you bu!
Goodbye Hong Kong...
