While everybody else was up and about quite early today, anticipating the State of the Nation Address, I have been sleeping. I woke up at 3 pm and am now at a local cafe enjoying my double shot mocha with mint. Last night, after I arrived home after playing DotA, I felt the urge to check in at a hotel and stay there overnight. And so I did. I checked in at the Oroderm Beauty Hotel along Magallanes Street here in Davao City. I paid P1,200 for the night. It's a called "beauty hotel" because they have various spa services. The room was nice, but the bathroom was errr... not too nice. And the towel had some orange-y stains. I just spent the entire night watching TV, and not sleeping at all. Got tired at around 6 am and slept. Woke up at 9:30 am for my complimentary breakfast. Bah! It was a boring hotdog meal. The fried rice was interesting though... I think it had some soy sauce or liquid seasoning. Yum! I went back to sleep and woke up to check out right before 12 nn. I went home and slept some more. :D It was quite a…

Brian McKnight's One Last Cry
This song is playing while I'm at a meeting at a local cafe. I'm not a fan of McKnight but I like this song. :) ONE LAST CRY Brian McKnight My shattered dreams and broken heart Are mending on the shelf I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do But have one last cry Chorus: One last cry, before I leave it all behind I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time Stop living a lie I guess I’m down to my last cry Cry...... I was here, you were there Guess we never could agree While the sun shines on you I need some love to rain on me Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do But have one last cry Chorus: One last cry, before I leave it all behind I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time Stop living a lie I know I gotta be strong Cause round me life goes on and on and on And…
A Letter to My Ex
Dear You, There's so many things running through my mind right now. One of which that I'm trying so hard to suppress is how much I hate you and would very much like to inflict pain on you. Kidding... sorta. We both know that I left the relationship because I couldn't give you something you needed for our relationship to work. Truth is, I have already given so much to you and to our relationship, that I felt like I was losing myself. But when you asked I change my belief to accommodate yours, I realized, there was really nothing there left in me that is truly me and mine. Through our almost seven months together, I have changed so much. It was probably out of the desperation, the need to be with somebody, to be loved, and to be part of something. At that point, I didn't know who I was anymore. I wasn't willing to change any more than I already had. So I made the choice to let go. But we didn't really let go, did we? We broke up, but we were there for each other. Or at least I was there for you. Through all…
A Girl in a Boys' World
I just spent an entire month without any weekends. I covered three DotA Tournaments that one month, and it was stressful as hell. I spent 3 - 4 consecutive days taking down notes, taking photos and videos, and blogging about a single thing. It was exciting at times, but there were definitely more than enough moments of boredom and loneliness. Once or twice, I would ask myself why I'm even doing this. Aside from the fact my cousin paid me to do it, there were nagging questions on my head whether the work was really paying off for me. Then I would remember why I got into DotA in the first place. I enjoy gaming and have fun de-stressing while playing. More than that, playing DotA and hanging with the boys remind me of my high school days. I like hanging out with boys, more than with girls. And it's not because they treat me like a princess. They treat me like one of them, and I like that. The corny and lame jokes, sexually loaded talks, and even the angas boasts, it all reminds me of my high school days, which to me, are some of the best days…
I Like You
See my YM Status message? That's for you. I don't know you well, but I like what I see and know. It might because you're sooo geeky adorable. Or maybe I'm just lonely and desperate. You're not hot. But dammit your glasses are so geeky, they make me want to make out with you. And your smile... that smile is so cute. You are oblivious to the fact that weird girls like me like you. I like that. You don't have any airs, and while you sometimes get caught up with excitement, you always apologize for being rude even if I didn't think you were rude. And goddamit! YOU LIKE MATH! What more can I say, I wanna have your babies. Let's multiply! :D YEYEYE! Integration of You + Me = geeky babies! One unassuming smile from you can make my day. But since you're far, I look at your photos. Not the entire day, I'm busy noh! But yeah, I steal time to look at you, your intense look when pressured, and your smile when you're happy. And know what, I'll be better than your ex. :P You're such a geek, you won't probably know this is about you.…
