After Missing Ballet comes another, "Missing the pig who named her cats, Princess, Prince, Duke and Queen..."

i miss my aunt and grandparents already. we went back to cavite and went shopping. but before that, me and my aunt went laughapalooza in the room. i started calling her pig but she intended to call herself a sexy pig. our joke. we ate chocolate after chocolate after potato chips after chocolate chip cookies. we took pictures of us too. me, my aunt roda and my aunt-mommy susan.

--*a picture of us three.*

--*a picture of us three 2.*
both pictures taken at: the room in Cavite

the day after, we went shopping. she bought me a pair of knee-high socks and she bought herself a pair of flipflops, a bag and some other. i bought a strange bag too. then we ate at McDonalds'. after that, we just windowshopped at Toy Kingdom [it wasn't much of a window shop because i was looking for suspenders and some cool Monokoro Boo cellphone accessories]. my other aunt joined me. then we went to a booksale surprisingly called, "Booksale" and i bought a "Flaunt" magazine for only 130 pesos. my aunt [the one leaving for Zamboanga tomorrow, *sob*] bought 2 love books.

--*a picture of the knee-high socks i bought before but look exactly the same as the knee-high socks i bought the day before yesterday.*
at: our shop, Mehaky

--*a picture of Flaunt magazine [and the suspenders] i bought for 130 pesos.
at: our car

--*a picture of the design printed on my bag. cool 'no?!*

then my other aunt [i call her mommy] told me she found one of those Monokoro Boo cellphone accessories and a suspender at the department store so we went there. and i spent all my money for it. i did not regret every cent of it.

--*here's a picture of the suspenders i bought*
at: Mom's office

after that, we said our long farewells-see-you-again-for-a-long-time. and i cried again in the dusty-crowdy-fart smelling, airconditioned bus.

Good day, everyone.
Not me.

my sister is leaving again. i am sad again. tomorrow, mama and papa [and me; i will force my parents] are going to Imus to pick up our relatives.

when my sister was here, we watched GREGORIAN and found my dad's look-alike. my sisters and i spent the night eating ruffles and snickers, shooting music videos [we loved Spice Girls when we were kids] and watched Roswell. We were supposed to sleep early because we're attending mass the next day. the next day, we ate at Chowking, bought "Never been Kissed" and "Coyote Ugly" and "F.R.I.E.N.D.S". we were happy. and now i'm not.

P.S. my sister bought a new book Shrimp, my dad bought a phone [Motorola razr] for my mother, my sister bought Pulp magazine featuring Jason Mraz in the front cover. oh and Judy Ann looked good on the front cover of Preview magazine [i love the "martian" pants of hers].

2007-01-07T16:19:00.000-08:00

i am sad again. i know that this day will come. vacation is vacation. there's no vacation where you stay and live in the place where you spent your vacation.

i miss my mommy. she's a ballet and jazz dancer and i love her soooo much. we don't waste time. we always laugh, watch, everything fun to do.

i miss my tito. he cooks scrumptious foods for us. he loves action movies and sometimes i watch movies with him.

i miss my cousin, arjon. we played neopets and disneychannel games before and i miss it. after that, we rented a movie and i miss it.

i miss my cousin, arkin. he loves me sooo much. i love him too. he's a year old baby. he's sooo soft and soooo full of life.

i also miss my sister, honey. we spent midnights together taking pictures and videos from our phone and connecting it to her laptop by "ngiping asul" [bluetooth].

i'm trying to recover from the "missing". i'm forcing myself to think that they'll come back next week [which is true] but i just miss them soooo much. i kept on crying.

i uploaded songs in my phone. "boat on a river", "bella luna", "butterfly", "wave", "just a song before i go", "for you blue", "helplessly hoping", "antonio's song", "carnival town", "carnival", "hide and seek", "here with me", etc. made me cry.

***

jan.05, my birthday. i was happy. my dad bought a phone for me. my tito cooked alot. my mommy and i made this excercise presentation [she once used the exercise for her jazz dance] entitled "Gold" [the song by Spandau Ballet]. my other relatives came and bought ice cream which we [my sisters and i] ate at midnight and kept on taking pics and videos. we slept at 5.00 am.

i miss them so much that i need time to recover. that's why...*

i decided to go on with my "passion" since my sister is leaving for college. i am gonna do photography and fashion. i also wanted to discover different cultures but it's too much. and my music? i don't have to give that up. every weekend me and my sisters are practicing with my dead serious father. there's nothing to worry about. but me and my dad made a pact that i will get piano lessons. i'm gonna paint too. i will try the works of powernap. they transform chucks or flats into 60s colorful japanese frenzy using textile markers and acrylic paint. as of now i am expressing my artsy touches doing conceptual snapshot cut-outs and pinning 'em to my corkboard.

me, my sisters and my father ate at Yellow Cab last Sunday. we wore inspired 60s outfit and we took pictures like some kind of indie pictorial. speaking of indie, i watched "Brick". it's a wonderful movie and just plain wonderful. and i also asked the moderator of pinoy scriptwriter if we can create an indie film.

12.02.06 [Saturday]

there's this unnoticed bar Sibil and we bonded there two times last weekend. it's pretty late to tell you this since it's a big propaganda but i didn't have a lot of time since i need to practice, research for tabs, etcetera. bottom line: ''we were discovered.''

Yes! your thinking is right. At the age of 13 [to young to be a blogger, *busted*] i have a job as a singer. or from my lexicography, a dadaist. A huge step to human prominence with my poetess sister and my mouth sister. Together, joined forces of nature spreads the manifestation of molten music.

Thanks to "Hey Jude", "Til there was you", "Now and Forever", "Imagine", "Danny's Song", "Run" etcetera..

2006-11-18T04:04:00.000-08:00

i'm going back to school. raaraa!

2006-11-08T19:19:00.000-08:00

i am, once again, the most degrading daughter of the Callora's. i hate myself for not being a behaved, well-mannered child of someone who cared about me so much. One who fed me with boundless love. my conscience is bugging me. i keep this journal, a big one, where i write all my thoughts. i know i am filled with these problems that i can't control anymore. i mean i love my family but i've been dissapointing them ever since i turned 4th grade. let's just skip to the part about me and the mortifying troubles i've made.

Since my relatives left and went home to Cavite and my ate also left for Quezon ave., i've been crying to ageism and i don't know what i'm crying for when i could just stand up, pack my bag, and go to school like a real student. my parents were proud that i've been studying in a science high school but i've never been proud of myself. but now that they found out that i've been doing this material, i'm having this thinking they are not proud of me anymore and they have a limit of trust.

but as i said, "having this thinking". so silly of me. my mom still helped me with my studies, after i told her that i have problems with my grades, even if she has this pile of work to do for her training and my dad kept on telling me his plans for me like buying me a laptop for my next birthday. i had this feeling of anxiety when he told me, "basta ayusin mo lang yung pag-aaral mo jan."

and my ever-so-loving sisters. when we were young, as my eldest sister would tell on her livejournal post [sisterhood of disconnected scissors], we didn't appreciate each other's company. we would watch ROSWELL, which keeps me company when my eldest sister is not around [i would cry], but right now it feels so great when she's around. we'll just watch dvds together. we wouldn't sleep on weekends. we'll bond. and now that she's working full-time, we only have inadequate time together but still fun. when my sister is around, i don't cry much. i can tell her anything because i know that she had the same experience when she was at my school and she figured out a way to cross that "success" boundary. i envy her.

my other sister is my company now. she taught me math and sometimes she would do my homework. i am keeping the values of each other's company and moments right now. i know that she will be in college soon and i would be alone for two years. for my parents, it looked okay for me because i am the queen of the room but it doesn't because i'll be so sad i can't even explain how sad i would be. i love it when we three take pictures. i inserted it in my other blog's item. *cry*

i love my mother.

i love my father.

i love my sisters.

right now, i did a bad thing again. it hurts me that i am hurting my family. i just can't help that they hurt me, mentally, in school. it happened to my sister too but she found a way to pass it in a good way. i wish my parents would forgive, understand, trust and would still love me, because i will find a way to fulfill them.

God help me.

2006-10-11T19:59:00.000-07:00

i just e-mailed Makiyo. she's a person filled with sense of humor and we both have identical pursuits. i was looking forward for her reply. then, the day after, [slash], she replied!:

Hello Karen! It was so nice of you to email me.
You seems like a really nice person that I can relate to. I mean it's like you shared the almost same interests as me?
Although I don't really know you, but through this email, I can feel that you're actually a person that have a high positive perception of yourself. And just this point, makes me think that you're an extremely fabulous person.
Like you, I'm honoured to have such a friend too.

Anyway, how did you stumbled upon my site?

P.S I'm not a snob..

Love,
Makiyo

***

then i replied excitedly thinking about her next reply tomorrow. i logged out. then logged in. she replied!.. i can't believe how hasty she was [maybe because it's gmail, and gmail sends text messages to the messengee to inform that they have an e-mail]. then i thought about it. if she replied, then she might've been online. how frustrating that i didn't log back sooner.

by the way, here's what she replied:

Hello there! Wow, you're actually a scriptwriter-music coordinator?
Tell me more about it! I'm interested. hahah.
Hmm Roswell? I heard of the show but I didn't watch it.
It's about adventures right?
Haha and we can't really cut classes here in Singapore.
or rather, my school. Because we have like a really strict system here.
But I tried skipping school. LOL.

Ahh, sorry for this short reply.
I'm quite busy these few days.
I have to like complete all the works I was told to do during the exam weeks. Anyway, it was nice talking to you.
Looking forward to your next reply!

Love,
Makiyo
