I am Charm ♥

Life Dance 2012

The evolution has started. Partyphiles not only from Cebu has witnessed the county’s grandest outdoor event party ever. Coachella? Zouk out? Com’on! I don’t need to go to Ibiza anymore. Life Dance was a beast! Hail the new party capital of the country. Cebu biznitches!!!!!

Pre-drinking at Dale’s crib before heading out to the partypalooza. Wearing flats and choosing Life Dance over Summer Sunscream were two of the best decisions I’ve made. Felt a bit jealous but realized, who cares about Franco when we got Ira Cruz?!?!?! :p

Spotted: Melissa Ricks, Slater Young, Divine Maitland-Smith, Matteo Guidicelli, Kiana Valenciano, Mia Arcenas, Regine King, and many more. I guess Paul Jake & Sam Pinto were party-hopping that time since IPI sponsored the SS event.

Grabbed some photos from the LifeDance official page :)

Glow-in-the-dark lights with solar power LED (I dunno the right term). Perfect for the party-till-you-pass-out-drink-till-your-dead-dance-all-night palooza! From sunrise till sunset!

Partying with tan lines? WHY THE FUCKIN NOT.

Hanging out with the coolest people in the Universe. F-F-F-F-U-N ♥

Bumped into Kat :)

Looks like I’m the 5th wheel. Maybe next year I can bring along my boyf too. Haha! Bullshitery.

Pinky’s booing? The emcee’s high-pitched voice was friggin’ horrible!

The crowd at 9pm-ish. Massive party dude! Photo by Paul Gothong :)

Omg thousands of people. HARDCORE.

I swear I love confetti cannons! Sweet beans ;)

My dearest Lyzie with her crew. Soon to be fashion designers! Sexsey!!!

Awwww fireworks <3

Ira Cruz!!! MAD LOVE ♥

CHICANE (British electronic dance music act), although you didn’t brought the house down, thanks for playing Love On The Run ♥

So what if we keep on talking about Life Dance? Where were you while everyone’s out having fun? Flipping heck it was sick!

P.S. Too bad weren’t able to watch Adam Bjornberg LIVE. I heard he killed it and got everyone on their feet dancing and screaming! Pffft. Lousy Charm! I got no air in my tires :(

P.P.S. I want a VVIP Event Ambassador Access next year!

The right to vote.

Today I was woken up by my mom telling me that we have to go to the Comelec. For Christ’s sake I hate doing unplanned things, rushing stuff in the last minute, much more having my sleep interrupted!!!!! And mind you, slept around 4am-ish last night. Yeah, my sleeping pattern has been so messed up lately. I love NBA Playoffs, its the timezones that makes me craycray. Fuckery. Anyway, I was planning not to head outside because I’ve been extremely excited about today’s American Idol Showdown Finale. Uggghhh SMH. I need to watch the replay!

Having to go through this again? GEEEZ. My right hand is still recovering from filling up all those shitcrap. Poor hand. If only they were responsible enough, this wouldn’t have happened. Re-registering is such a pain in the neck. Promise.

Hello Registration Form, we meet again. It’s been quite a while, darling.

Went straight to my Alma Matter right after the registration. Got my Alumni I.D., and hell to the yes, my almost six flipping thousand breakage! Big grin to heaven. Cebu Doctors’ University, you’re the best school ever!!! Pretty confident and freakinly proud that I made the best choice! Haha :)

The picture below was taken in the backyard as soon as I arrived home. Look at my thumbs! I had to be fingerprinted to be cleared. Whoop yay! I am officially a registered voter AGAIN. That means, I have the right to vote in the next election.

✔ Alumni I.D.

✔ Breakage

FRIENDS. with benefits.

My current cover photo on Facebook showcasing my million dollar smile :)

Because talking doesn’t help me in the slightest and writing make things a little easier, please allow me to say things I’ve been keeping to myself for quite some time now.

Like a photo, every smile has a story to tell. Those I-am-in-love smile. Those sparkle in the eyes. Boy you got me flyinggggg. It’s not what it is if it weren’t for you.

For, as they said, we can’t have it all. Even in the movies or in our favorite TV shows, there’s always a little twist no matter how much we want things to go smoothly.

This is my love story.

FRIENDS. ~~with benefits.~~
~~That’s how we are~~. That’s how we were.

It was hard. The kind of hard to the point that if we bump into each other, even a simple hi is hard to utter.. JUST BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DISCREET. Not like any other casual relationships, ours was bipolar. Very bipolar. If it’s a menstrual cycle, it’s not a regular one. By that I mean he doesn’t texts me regularly. Isn’t it sweet if there’s someone who’d ask how was your day? He only miss me when he’s bored (at least that’s what I assume). He sends the lamest quotes in the world.. TO MANY. He chats on FB, but never asked for my Skype. Then again, we’re cool like that. We kissed, we hugged, we’re okay.

But then one day, when I woke up, all I see was this girl in a bikini searching for her almost dead soul with him (haha forgive me I’m making up words, I meant soul searching). You wouldn’t believe me how I coincidentally solved the puzzle. I feel like my heart was ripped out of my body. I was breathless for a second, yet I have no right to confront him because there was never US in the first place. I hate talking about my feelings but how else do I get over this?

A heartbreak all over again. Emotionally damaged, but for some reason, I still smile whenever I see his name on my phone screen, and good thing my heart no longer speaks of revenge.

Unfortunately, sorry to disappoint, quite a few times I did text him, you know the ones, we’ve been there, you press send and immediately think….

“Shit, why oh why did I just send that drunk text message?” Hey it happens, com’on we’re just human, its pleasantly entertaining don’t you think?

I’m sick of no-strings-attached-casual-fling-part-time-friends-with-benefits love affair. I want a formal-romantic-official-you-are-mine kind of relationship next time.

Note to self: Cheer up! He’s just a chapter in your life. Just like reading a book, a simple turn of the page can bring you to the best chapter you’ve read yet.

Now on to the next chapter! :)

Sweat it out.

Boredom at home took over, out of the blue decided to visit my cousins (as if I haven’t seen them in ages). It’s nice to see you again my loves! Quite fulfilling and pretty productive eh?

Zumba to the tune of African Beats. One word: Exhausting o_O

After our 30-minute workout, movie marathon with the boys!

For a first timer like me, felt comically sore all over my legs with the tiniest bit of pain. After the pain subsided, we continued our workout. For the love of baby fats!!! We can do this!!!

Doing his gruelling session of dumbbell workout.

Hola buff boys! Why are you still going to the gym when we can all do it at home together? You guys made me realize a lot of shit! First, that I need to enroll in a gym. Second, that I need to go to the gym. Need to tone my body, shape up, abs baby abs! Sweat the hell out!!!

Fuck. Twitter is still fail whaling! What could be more depressing, my Facebook is in Timeline view now! Bullshitahellia!!!

P.S. Videos to be posted soon! Haha :))

P.P.S. Watching “Unofficially Yours” at the moment. My heart is a mess right now. Literally feeling so sad. Sigh. Life could be cruel sometimes. Good riddance, lover! I hope our paths won’t ever cross again. Really. Adios!

It’s slowly sinking in that I’m fuckin dunzo with College life. Worst, a person so close and dear to my heart had already left Cebu. Yo can only imagine the separation anxiety I am feeling right now. Slowly killing me.

To my ever dearest thoughtful gem of a friend, one of the greatest best friends I will ever have, promise me you won’t be gone for a long time please. I am already missing you right now :( Australia is approximately 2,847 miles away from here. Times like these, I wish I could fly elsewhere or teleport like Goku, or perhaps, time travel like Henry. But reality bites!

Thank you for the unsolicited words of appreciation and all the unsolicited words of advice. Thank you for not quitting on me when I was at my wit’s end. All those late-night studying, shitcray boozefest, non-stop paloozas, impromptu getaways, and even those shameful drunken moments… those things will never be forgotten. So happy I can always count on you to make things better. You bring the essence of unconditional love in the form of friendship. Grateful to have you guys! I love you, woman!!!

If I could, I would go back to internship. Hey! Not with the extension shittery for heaven’s sake!!! We’ve been through an awful lot together, we’ve been through the wire, and gladly, we’ve managed to survive.

As I am typing these things, my tear ducts are about to get a workout. No more sad goodbyes. I’m going to see you soon. Please do me a little favor. Take good care of yourself for the meantime. Hang in there! We’re bringing the good old days back as soon as you get back! Sending you a million hugs and kisses your way. Love you! :*

Graduation Day

Prone to careless mistakes. The long, anticipated wait has arrived. It may have took me years to get here, but I wouldn’t have done it differently. Because if it came too easy, it wouldn’t be worthwhile.

Holy bananas I can’t believe I’m officially done with school after crazy years in College! After all those crazy time of coursework deadlines, terrible sleep patterns, all the sudden rushed requirements, pissed-as-fuck moments, and what seemed like never-ending revisions.. I’m finally leaving the portals of my Alma Mater! Internship life was by far the most toughest trail I’ve ever went through! Earning my Bachelor’s Degree was never easy. Forever will I be in debt to the people behind me after all these years!

I owe gazillion thanks to my Research team, my mentor, my adviser, my clinical instructors, and everyone else. It was literal blood, sweat, tears and pure determination all the way. Yes! I’m done with school and I’m not gonna be worrying about Thesis anymore!!!!

To my family, my blood of my blood, thank you so much for molding me into what I am today. I didn’t realize things until―until―now.

To my badass RTp family, we’ve been through hell and back but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. These pictures will remain as frozen memories. It is an honor to share the journey with you. Your career as a Respiratory Therapist starts now. Continue to reach for the moon! I love you my kickass batch!!!!

To whether I practice my degree, or pursue the career of my dreams of becoming an FA, I still don’t know. Everything is a giant blur. The only thing I’m sure of, I have all the time in the world to sleep!!!!!

☛ with my dearest mom

☛ I love you to the heavens and back, love!

☛ Thank God for friends! They’re the sisters I never had.

☛ My ultra-cool batch with Ms.V & Ms.Au

☛ Nothing is too hard for a dedicated individual. They cannot reward me enough. The best they can do is to give me this piece of paper encased in cardboard. Fuck yeah! Hard work pays off!

☛ Heya, tell the airline companies to hire me. I desperately wanna be a flight attendant! Lels :p

☛ 281 months ago, half of me lived in my father’s testicles. Yeah, that’s him :)

☛ with my favoritest cousin :)

From CDU to my aunt’s, then back home, then Mr.M. Craaazy night!!! Thank you everyone for all the congratulatory messages & tweets! I WAS SO OVERWHELMED WITH JOY :)

P.S. To whoever invented the idea of a Research Paper, for stealing my happy hours, I salute you with my middle finger raised up high!!!

Ending this day with a smile and on a good note! Nothing compares to the feeling you get when all the hardwork and effort, after all those suffering sleep deprivation, has finally paid off, even the impossiblest thing like a bolt from the blue! God works wonders :)

My camwhore babe, you’re growing up so fast! Holy buckets, enjoy your younger years while you still can! I love your wits!!! Must be our shared bloodline? haha :) A good piece of advice ― Read books as much as I do, as much as you used to. Wearing makeup is alright as long as you make reading your lifetime passion. Remember, knowledge is a necessity. Make it your sword! I loooove youuu. Sending you a big squishy cyber hug! You will always be my little cutie patootie! :*

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s day. Love day. And if I’m allowed to say it, Singles’ Awareness Day. Hahaha! Not only for the people with significant others, but also for all the singletons in the universe.

The tradition continues. This was supposed to be a date with ze girls! Heee :)

Because it was drizzling and the weather was soo cold, cardigans on the loose!

Sinugbang Sugbo & High-Jah :)

Laahaaaw!!!! U were missing in action for too long! Oh my Jesus, glad you’re finally back on track!

Just like the good old days

S.I.N.G.L.E.S.

I hope I didn’t send out any drunk messages. I cannot remember! I’m sorry. Haha!

I don’t drink just to get drunk. Did you guys put a spell on me?? Because when I’m with ya’ll I always get this completely-smashed-out-of-my-mind state! Oh, never again! I need to redeem myself! Hahahaha

Jaaysee! This is gonna be so sad. Goodbyes are not forever, but they are heartbreaking. My forever consistent motivational crew and huggle buddies won’t ever be the same.

To the most diligent person that got smart neurons behind the ears, I’m gonna miss you like a big fat hole in the head. I’m gonna miss doing rounds ala fierce runway walk with you. I’m gonna miss our random convos over Taquitos when boredom hunger attacks. Above all, I’m gonna miss our I-LOVE-YOU-MORE-THAN-MY-LIFE endearment. Who else would say that to me? :’( I’ll miss you everyday.

Certainly, the world is a small place and time is ticking fuckin’ fast. Hope to stumble upon you some time soon. Thank you for everything, ter. You’re the chisnik! Your name will not wither out of our memories. I love you to the farthest stars of the universe.. back, and back again!!!!

P.S.

I’ll take care of Dr.____ for you. Hee-hee!

Until we meet again, my friend.

Love with a big slurpy kiss,

Charm ♥
