i know. i know. i know.

the title is just so... yesterday. and i know that plenty of people have already done tons of posts on what blogging (or google) has bought them.

so let them me and let me say my piece.

i'm proud because blogging has bought me:

• a mobile phone
• a computer set
• a digital camera
• and a whole lot more other things that i just could not remember what

wala lang. yun lang.

I'm not nominated but several of the blogs that I haunt are. So it really is quite hard for me to choose whom to vote for. Especially now that I learned that I can only vote once. So what if I'm favoriting five out of the 58(?) who are nominated? It would be quite unfair to the others. Sorry guys. Pero it's better this way. No hurt feelings I hope. I know you would want to be the chosen one (that is, if I was nominated).  

Anyhow, I'm hoping that I could join up the awarding ceremonies. But then again, I'm too far away. So blogging about it would be the best thing that I can do. But a ticket would make me happy. Really. Could you all spare me a ticket even if I don't come?

I would be really happy if you gave me a ticket just for the sake of me owning one. I mean, at least I had something while you guys can go and be part of the whole event. If you're interested in telling me all about what happened during that night, just send me a quick note at peachy_upd[at]yahoo[dot]com.  Then maybe we can catch up online and you can tell me all about it while I get green with jealousy. 

So anyhow, if you're interested in joining up the whole hullabaloo of the Philippine Blog Awards 2007, here're some important details you may want to learn about:

I’ve asked Him for a sign. I told Him that staring yesterday, March 27, up until the end of April, if I do not hear from him or anything about him or see him, then it means that it’s really not meant to  be.  

But yesterday has just been the start and from the moment I woke up, I was reading messages from him.  

Good Lord! What does this mean?

I’m giving this blog post such a title because the past two days has been like a look into the past, the present and the future. It has been an eye-opener for me to look and realize just what I have and just how lucky I have been. Yes, fun as they may have been, it simply does tell me that the future may even be brighter than I have have realized right now.  

Yesterday, I learned that Chum, a college classmate, is here in Legazpi. And being the kind of person that I am, I told her that perhaps we should meet up. After all, we haven’t seen each other since college days and so far, many has changed and many has happened.  

In the evening, I went out with Chum. Her son is now almost 4 years old and I remember that when I was working with Chum (and Justine) on a school paper, Chum was around 8 to 9 months pregnant. After that, I was not able to see her son. Now, he’s all grown up and I’m a mother myself to a bubbly 1-year-old kid.  

Anyhow, it was fun learning about things and talking about stuff that we may have missed. We did catch up on the current situations of our other classmates. And if any one of my former classmates would be here in Bicol, I would not hesitate and meet up with them. It’s nice knowing that despite whatever you have gone through during those turmoil-filled college years, it all boils down to one experience that you all went through together and find out just how strong the bond (and the friendship) has been between all of you.  

That same day, sometime in the afternoon, I was chatting with Marlon, another college classmate who is now in Spain. During our college years, Marlon was the outspoken type of guy and sometimes, our ideals and our views would clash. I would be stepping up to the side of STAND-UP while he would be opposed on what I thought was better.  

And now, while we were chatting, it does look like we both changed. No matter what you might say, we all have changed. I may still be inclined to what I have learned in college during those non-academic type of activities but it does look like Marlon has, too. And it is quite interesting to realize that one time or another, our UP views would still remain.  

And for that I am proud to be an alumnus. And even prouder to be part of all that I have gone through during those years.  

Today, after taking some drinks with Theon, we rushed to the SBC to talk with Monsi. However, there was a meeting going on so we decided to crash Ate Pinky’s house. During the first times that I was at her place, I was thinking that she may be that sweet and friendly to me simply because I was Theon’s friend. But it does look like it’s just not like that. It does look like a friendship has developed and I do see being friends with her. She’s really one cool gal, that I tell you. Despite the age difference.  

But she does give me good advice on relationships. So now, I’m looking for a guy who’s going to understand me and I’m more open on trying out relationships with guys who are older than me. And I mean way older. Not those 1-2 years type of difference but more of 5 years to maybe 7 or 8. But I’m not going for those who are around 20 years older. If that’s the case, I’ll stick with finding another father for myself instead.

For the past couple of weeks I've been eating like a bird (if a bird eats this little). There has been no results showing on my body as of present but I do feel better.  

Anyhow, I have been pigging out today. And when I mean pigging out, it means that I have been eating more than the usual. I have taken in a whole combo meal from Jollibee, a cone of ice cream, and a cup of rice with my favorite malunggay with pasa-pasa.  

And so my stomach feels too full. And I mean too full for words.  

When I went to Ate Pinky's, she cooked carbonara and I was forced to eat. Kakahiya kasi. And now, I'm feeling totally bloated. If you think about it, I've been eating more than 2 days worth of what I usually take in. So I'm not if I'm feeling like this.  

Yikes. Me. Pig.
