25 will be my age come 2k10

here comes the random things that is me.. XD

1. I TEND TO ASK SILLY QUESTIONS! (Like, why 25 random things?! Why not 24?!)

2. I RARELY USE MY REAL NAME! (So rare that it takes a while before ako maka respond if you call me by it. I would automatically give out a name if asked, but you can bet it will not be the one on my birth certificate! XD)

3. I HAVE A MISGUIDED SENSE OF LOYALTY, AND CLAIM TO BE HONEST! (They say us Librans are extremely loyal, yun lang were not always honest!!!)

4. I HAVE COME TO DETEST THE COMMENT : "kaniwang sa imo, pagpatambok na dabe!" (As if its my fault that i'm skinny since time immemorial! gimme a break!)

5. I BECAME A "MOM" BEFORE MY 21st BIRTHDAY (A short-lived experience, low-mortality rate. I beat my own mum to it, though. She was 21 when she had our eldest bro XD)

6. I COULD TAKE 5 DAYS WITHOUT RICE, BUT WOULD NEVER LAST A DAY WITHOUT COFFEE!

7. I TEND TO GET ATTRACTED TO "GAY-MEN" THAN STRAIGHT ONES! (I adore darren hayes of savage garden, i like lance of nsync, and theres stephen of boyzone, oh and yeah, crush ko si rustom padilla back in 1992! har har and! I used to have a crush on our principal back in highschool, who was a priest and rumored: "gay" bwahahah wicked!)

8. I'M A MIDDLE-CHILD (minus the syndrome! XD)

9. STRAY ANIMALS COULD EASILY BRING TEARS TO MY EYES THAN STREET CHILDREN WOULD! (Does this mean animalistic ako!? uhh.. wait, that doesn't sound right ~.~)

10. I'M A SENSUAL PERSON! (period)

11. I STARTED GROWING MY NAILS WHEN I WAS IN GRADE-4! (Now di na ako sanay with short nails, they have to be in a certain length!)

12. I'M TOTALLY UNFORGIVING.. TOTALLY UNFORGETFUL!

13. I'M CURRENTLY LISTENING TO CORRINE MAY'S "SHELTER" (I can't work na walang background music. I'd rather listen to the radio than watch the telly. But I'd rather talk than listen! hahaha)

14. BUM AKO FOR HALF A YEAR! (By choice and by chance,though I hope to be back on track soon)

15. I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT I'LL GET EVERYTHING I WANT, SIMPLY BY WANTING IT! (Then bemoan the cruelties of Fate who, in her own way never fails to give me exactly what i ask for)

16. THE ANAGRAM OF MY NAME "ALDRENE" IS "LEARNED" (Learn it, live it, love it! I still remember the time mum taught me to spell it, that was before I entered school at kinder2! We were at the veranda of our old house sa Roxas.. Somehow, tumatak sa isip ko the importance of having your name spelled right.. But using it all the time is not a necessity, to me atleast! XD)

17. SOMEDAY, I'LL SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS! (In open seas! I have to learn how to swim right pa muna pala! XD)

18. I WAS BORN ON A TUESDAY.. MY 1ST BORN WAS BORN ON A TUESDAY.. (Would have loved to be nicknamed "tuesday")

19. I WANTED TO BE MARRIED IN SEPTEMBER, ON MY 24TH YEAR! (I still haven't made up my mund on whether I should thank Fate for not granting me this!.. wait.. wala pa pala ang 9th month! XD.. have my fingers-crossed! more importantly, wala pa pala ako boyfriend! hahahahah)

20. MY FRIEND BABAK INTRODUCED ME TO "PORN" BACK IN COLLEGE (Honestly, its only with him that I'm comfortable watching it with! hahahah.. bakit kaya!?)

21. MATIISIN AKONG TAO (I'd tiis my gutom than cook, I'll conserve my energy by staying in bed and be a total laggard, ok I blame this on laziness. I also have high tolerance for pain! I hardly notice it until I see my wound. Someone once accused me of being masochistic. Guilty as charged! XD)

22. I WEAR SIZE-8 FOR SHOES, 7 FOR SANDALS, 9 FOR FLIPFLOPS! (Don't wonder for clothes, kid's size fit me best!)

23. I'VE JOINED EVERY EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN SCHOOL, EXCEPT THE ONES THAT INVOLVED CHURCH WORK! (So I was a patrol-leader in girlscout, corp commander in CAT, president in H.S council, a majorette, school paper editor, but never the cathechist! XD)

24. I'M EASY! (In all the sense of the word! Easy to talk to, easy to be with, easy to get! Heck, I'd sell myself short anytime, as long as everything is negotiated under my terms!)

25. CURRENT KRYPTONITE=RELATIONSHIPS! (I don't believe I suck at them, but.. honestly, I seem to have lost faith in them.. and men are just men!.. but whaddaheck! I'll add having a boyfriend on my list of "must have" this year! hikhikhik Coz I hate lossing, especially to myself! I say : "BRING IT ON, FATE!" )

punch-1-liner

baka "A" tayo coz "we're not meant to be"
dieta- dieat!

got these from a friend, na sobrang hayup pag dating punchlines..
or baka naman he's making a pass at me.. hindi ko lang alam..
sabi nga "we're not things" hindi raw kame bagay! XD

current status: "bat di na lang kaya niya ako ligawan nang magkaalaman na?!"

merong nag react.. but the one that i'm trying to attract hasn't yet..
kasi naman offline siya.. at kung mag online siya, ako naman ang offline..
siya din yung stinalk ko kagabe.. napag tripan lang..
san kaya siya!?..

anu abi kay..

yes, hidlaw na ko sa iya.. but i have to keep from reaching out to him.. hindi dapat..
timing is a must..

Bucket-full of Fortitude

I feel beat! I won't be surprised if I look twice as much as I feel. .
Haggard, tired, lacking sleep.. may konting pressure din..

*sigh*

On the other hand, medyo uplifted din ako.. I won a small battle-of-wills..
With no other than myself as an opponent..

Ayun! I was fasting (not to make kulet this certain person! XD)
I survived a week of it, and whaddaya know, he came on to me 1st!
Ang galing, my consolation for the disiplina sa sarili..
But, how I miss him!

paramour

www.playlist.com
I discovered this through my cousin Earl,

it's not much but its pretty cool..

Wala lang, it appeals to me more than YOUTUBE does,

no offense to the tube fans, okay pa rin naman yun..

But the playlist is my new paramour! XD

W.O.W

Had this conversation with a friend from afar and it dawned on me. .

(that I should make a move nah!) as a splurge of inspiration swept through me. .

Suddenly, I was fired up with ideas of going abroad as if it’s actually that easy. .

(Well, it’s not really a new idea)

Di ko nga na isip that may crisis ngayon sa Pinas

and that companies are undergoing some freeze-hiring for control measure.

Oo nga pala ano?! Naisip ko, but really it doesn’t stop me from planning,

or go on with my plans to go abroad.

I feel the need to be up and about, go out there, broaden my horizon,

go places, live in full independence for as much as my capabilities would allow!

Ayus yun, I may have a chance at becoming a “woman of the world”

as one of my high-school classmate said in his testimonial sa akin

as we were nearing graduation!

Ha! The line just stuck! It surely appealed to me!

Who wouldn’t want to be a woman of the world ba?! (Whatever it entails!)

H2O runs dry

Today I woke up feeling relatively upbeat.. Woke up thinking of the same stuff that I thought of before I went to bed last night.. Yon na yon! I was just so happy and touched with this guys effort to make me feel as though we (or atleast ako lang) are actually involved with eachother.. At this point, its not what I really want, but just the same I suppose okay din naman yon..

the come back

So, after what seemed like ages I've finally gathered up the courage to sit down and take a visit down memory lane (which is this Blog).. Re-read old posts and it made me think back with a cringe inwardly about how I was back in a place away from home.. Clearly I was not myself.. Now listening to Lene Marlin songs, feeling depressed by the moment.. Infairness to her, she writes songs pretty well and I can't help but love them...

"I know you fooled, a million times.." -*the way we are*

How I like that line, and how, sadly, I can relate to it at one point in my life..
