Hi guys!

Finally, I was able to remember my username and password for this blog! whew? after so many combinations i tried..nway, im sorry for not writing so soon. i would have, i wanted to, but time is fleeting these days. This is the most busiest semester ever. I have three heavy demanding classes, have job, and have someone special in my life. the latter is not actually a bad thing. in fact, although i'm overwhelmed with the stuff that's been going on in my life right now, he brings me happiness and peace in some way. It feels good to be with someone you really care and cares for you in return. Although, I'm a little bit guilty of giving him not enough time (now i really have to manage my time). The good thing is he understands.

LOng story short, we met at work. working as the receptionist, i asked him if he needed anything, and he said he has an appt with my boss. and so, he got hired as an english tutor. That particular saturday, i worked with him for 4 hours. During those hours, we started talking. for some reason, we just hit it off from there. at first, we were just friends --friends who smile flirtly (if there's such a word hehehe) at each other. Then, we would have long conversations. He remembered almost all of the things i told him. and we went out a couple of times. on valentines, he brought flowers for me when i was tutoring somebody. so i was speechless, because it was totally unexpected and my mind was still on the lesson my tutee and i were discussing. Later that night, we had dinner and ice cream.

On Feb 16, we watched movie and then grabbed dinner. on our way to the restaurant,(i was driving this time, he was in the passenger seat) one of his friends called him and i think asked about his girlfriend, and he was like yeah we met a month ago and we've been hanging out since blablablah..and i was grinning(at the back of my mind, i was asking myself if he's talking about me..because we've gone out a lot of times, but we never talked about our status)..and he's like 'oh, im actually with her right now'...after he hanged up, i asked him jokingly, 'who's ur girlfriend?' and he's like, 'you'...A: oh, me?! (*doubtfully grinning*) G: aren't we... A: well i guess i didn;t think of it that way because we never talked about it, and maybe im not used to how people here get together. in my country, they tell each other they like each other and then become a couple. G:(suddenly held one of my hands) can you be my girlfriend? i really like you blablabla A; (smiling again) of course! i like you too (",)
i know it sounds cheesy...we tend to become cheesy when we're bitten by the love bug hehe
that's it for now..

how are you guys doing?

p.s. CONGRATS TO KAREN AND RICHIE !!!! (",)

i'll post pictures taken in P.I. on my next post!

Kuala Lumpur

here's the continuation of our vacation last weekend, on saturday 1230pm, we went down from genting to kuala lumpur (KL) malaysia. the weather here is so hot, such a contrast from genting's freezing one. first stop is check in to our hotel. after that we grabbed a light snack at the Berjaya Times Square mall behind our hotel. it's a big mall with a themepark inside. (see left pic)

after that we started our itinerary with a trip to Menara KL Tower, it's the 4th tallest telecommunications tower in the world. there's an observation deck at 200m high where you can see the whole city of KL. (see right)

afterwards, we went on to the most popular site in KL which is the Petronas Twin Towers. below the towers is the Suria KLCC mall which houses most of the designer brands gucci, prada, lv, versace, etc..

since it's drizzling, we decided to just stay in the mall. i did some shopping at the isetan dept store (coz it's cheaper here than singapore :P), ate dinner at california pizza kitchen, took lots of pictures til around 10pm before going back to the hotel.

next day, we just went around the city for more "touristy" spots like the merdeka square (independence square), chinatown (full of fake goods), & rode the local mrt just for fun. :)

Genting Highlands

hello peeps! finally our vacation pushed thru last fri-sun. we went to malaysia - genting and kuala lumpur (KL). on friday, we took a bus (7 hrs!!!) from singapore to genting highlands. we left around 7am and arrived 2:30pm!

genting is situated 2000m above sea level so it's really cold there, almost 10-15 degrees C! we stayed at first world hotel in genting which has a themepark & mall below.

<= mini eiffel towel inside first world plaza themepark. :)

there's also an outdoor themepark but we're only able to ride the flying coaster coz after that the weather became too foggy and they closed all the rides. :(

genting is also popular for their casino and cable car. since there's no casino in singapore, most of the people go there if they want to play. i think it's also the only casino in malaysia. :P the cable car is one of the longest in asia. roundtrip ride took us 30 mins!!! :O

hi

hi guys! i hope everybody's doing great! i have bad news and good news! bad news, nov 7 around 9:45pm, was driving home when somebody hit me and ran away. i mean my car got hit by another car, and the guy just sped away. aside from scratcha and cut on my bumper and i think the engine shifting a little bit to the left, i am ok. im just having so much stress talking to the insurance company. the good thing is that i have two witnesses who told the cops that it wasn;t my fault - one who was driving on my left side, and the other behind me. hopefully my insurance premiums wont go up after i make a claim, which i am doing because the repair will cost me thousand dollars. talk about bad luck huh?
anyway, i watched james blunt concert with friends last sat (nov11). he was really good, he played songs from his old and new album. the encore was of course, 'you're beautiful', but his performance was so-so. its almost the same as listening to his cd, unlike other acts who will put variation to how they sing the song - either put more zest or stuff like that. the best part was when he sand goodbye my lover, where the spotlight was on him and he was on the piano. you can really sense the emotions in his voice. the last part of the song he did without any music, which was kinda dramatic but effective nevertheless.
have you guys seen "borat"? borat is so mean, but funny in his ways. although im pretty sure some people wont appreciate his humor. "happy feet" was a good movie too.
thanksgiving ill be in LA with some of my friends, which means i wont line up for the once-a-year-biggest-sale event at almost all stores..oh well, i dont think i have money to spend, just save it for the plane tickets, which will cost me $1700 arggg! oh well, i really want to be home so thats fine...i was checking at cebu pacific website, and they have P999 trip to malaysia, cheaper than that of boracay's...which reminds me my dear friends. im 95% sure im going home this christmas! let's hang out! i was just wondering if you guys feel like going out of town? holler if you have ideas =)
p.s. karen, when will you be in P.I.? marie, what days will you be off for the holidays? cats, how's the cruise? kwento nman =)
