for almost a week now, my tooth aches badly. it might be because of the buckets of candies,chocolates and chewing gum i have popped into my mouth. by the way, shashi is the owner of the world's sweetest tooth. it is not very surprising if i'll be a diabetic when i get older. so like a good little girl, my parents accompanied me to Tita Edith's (the dentist) clinic. what i thought would be just an innocent visit/checkup turned out to be not-so-innocent after all. the best choice i was given was to extract the aching tooth. i so dread this day - the day i have to open my mouth so wide and watch different instruments going in and out of my mouth. of course this was not my very first trip to a dentist. once in a while i have my teeth checked and cleaned, the holes barred. but extracting a tooth is a whole lot different thing for me! so imagine my panic when the dentist let me decide if i'll have the friggin' tooth removed right at that f***in' moment.
ba na na na..
so again, like the good little girl that i was, i nervously lied down the dental chair. if i don't have this tooth removed now, it might make me sleepless at night and it might mean no more sweets for good little shashi girl until the tooth stop hurting! this is a first time for me after Lord knows how many years. and this is the first time i'll have a permanent tooth extracted.
anesthesia, then other whatever things dentists do to patients. . .
(shashi hurting a little and she had her fingers crossed while the whole procedure was done.)
me: "Tita, may mas masakit pa po ba kayong gagawin?" asked just like a terrified four-year-old kid.
dentist: "Wala na, 'yun na 'yun."
imagine my relief. **big big sigh**
the extraction moment na! luckily, it doesn't hurt as much as i imagined it would. after some minutes, the dentist lifted the pain-in-the-ass tooth for my eyes to see. i was so glad to get rid of it. *sigh again*
Thanks to Tita Edith i can have ice cream again! and ice cream it was for good little shashi girl the moment she went out of the clinic.
Happy Andres Bonifacio Day! :)

why i am such a christmas person.
28 more days before Christmas! yipeee... there are so many things i love about the 25th of december.
one: the food! forget about the world and the bitchy word "diet". it's Christmas anyway! the following are my favorite stuffs during Christmas. of course, there's the traditional ham. nyam! special ulams, courtesy of my papa (which he calls pacham, short for pachamba. he is so paham noh? pahambog ever! hehe..) the chocolates and candies in the fridge which i can't help but munch. usually, my mom prepares my favorite macaroni salad. this is food for the gods! if i'll be stuck in an island, and there are only five kinds of food i can bring, this definitely goes! yung apat pa, saka ko na pag-iisipan. i wonder what we'll have this coming Christmas. exciting!
two: the kids! i am so in love with kids. they usually arrive in groups dressed at their best, with a sling bag on their shoulders, then altogether they'll shout "mamamasko po!" sabay mano to the elders. Christmas is about remembering the birth of Jesus Christ so it's just like saying that Christmas is for kids.
three: the reunion! relatives from other places make an effort of travelling for hours just to spend christmas with their loved-ones. just like my Auntie Janet and the whole gang. their coming home is one of our little traditions for years now.
four: the gifts and other aguinaldos! to my ninangs and ninongs: i may seem to be a big girl now. but i want you to know that i will still be accepting gifts. by the way, i prefer cash! hehe.. may God bless you more and more!
five: the greetings! it's a good feeling when you receive a lot of text messages and phone calls from people you have not heard much from. Christmas is about remembering each other.
six: the Christmas spirit! almost everyone seems to be in high spirits. no party-poopers and killjoys in Christmas Day please!
seven: the hugs, the kisses and the smiles! one seems to get a lot of these during Christmas. do it every day and this world will be a better place to live in. seriously!
seriously speaking, i love Christmas Day because it gives me an excuse to give gifts without appearing too mushy. so whoever gets a little something from me, it is my way of saying "Thanks because you've been a significant part of my life this year. You are appreciated and loved. Merry Christmas!". to those who will not be able to, i have a simple message and i hope you understand: "Naubusan na ko ng pambili ng regalo. Merry Christmas! You are loved and appreciated too." hehe lusot! :)

hey stranger
in a world inhabited by billions of strangers, how will i find the one whom my heart beats for?
whenever i am in a crowded place, walking my way out through a dozen, a hundred or so people, i have myself asking, could he be here now?
could he be that guy who i thought looked my way?
the one who bumped my shoulder when he hurriedly ran down the stairs?
maybe the guy who was hailing a cab?
or the one who was talking animatedly to a group of friends?
one of them could be him.
or not.
how will i know?
will my heart thump so loud to the point that he could almost hear it?
or will i feel butterflies and dragons in my stomach?
or will everything around us seem to stop, then something like . . .can this be love i'm feeling right now? . . . plays in the background?
cheesy?
corny?
eeeweee!
there are times when i find it hard to believe my own words, my own piece of advice to a friend who like me wonders how long she will wait, you'll find each other. . . in God's time. just wait and see.
sometimes i get tired of daydreaming and pray to God i could just stop myself from wishing and waiting.
but then again when i get tired of getting tired from waiting, i can't help but switch back to my "daydreaming mode".
again and again.
to the one i am waiting for:
while i am dreamily waiting for you, could you please think of me too?
just a little.
or is it too much to ask?
i wonder how long it will take you to work your way through the crowd.
do me a favor of keeping an eye on a dreamy-eyed little girl who might look a little tired and lost.
because probably that girl is me.
and she'll just be so happy to have met you, finally.

my Thursday
let me tell you about how great my day is:
i attended my class, had serious anything-and-everything-goes talk with my chicas Ja & Chiq, watched my roommate's pageant and went to see a wonderful movie.
sounds ordinary? yes, but my day was great nonetheless.
~THE CLASS~
that's just it! i do not have much to tell about this.
~THE GIRL TALK~
it feels so good to open up about your frustrations & fears with friends you know you can trust. it feels even better when you realize that you are actually not the only one who feel that way. and it feels awesome when you altogether laugh about the things that worry you. that talk made me love my girls more!
~THE PAGEANT~
im happy i did not miss this one! Ate Iz was so beautiful to watch. even if she did not bag the crown, she's still a winner. she made us so proud of her. congratulations to you Ate!
~THE MOVIE~
nothing beats the excitement and fun of an unplanned movie. together with my movie partners, Chiq and Lowe, we forgot about schoolworks for awhile and discover how HITMAN does his job. it was one i put to my category of "intelligent movies", the kind my average mind could not easily grasp. if it wasn't for the two people i am with, and if we hadn't re-watched the first few parts, i will not have the peace of mind i am so wishing for. the movie was magnificently done. and i suggest that you guys go see it. then tell me what you think about it.
i hope you too had a wonderful day. good night and God bless:)

after a month of silence
heeeeyah! almost a month akong hindi nag-blog... i can't compose anything kase! hindi naman sa walang nangyari na interesting sa buhay ko, meron naman.. i just really can't put them into words at kasama na dun na hindi ako madalas humarap sa computer last sem break. i didnt have a very fruitful break like i wished. i was such a bum. nood, kaen, sleep til noon.
oooops, election day, may silbi naman ako. not only did i went out and vote, umupo din ako sa kabilang barangay.. it was not an easy job, naintindihan ko na ang feeling ng mga teachers. tiring but fun.
back in school for almost three weeks na. second semester of my 3rd year, whew! the pressure is on! kanina lang, i endured an almost-3-hr of Econometrics. grabe, i can feel that i'll be shedding tears with this subject. so help me God! and the whole class as well xempre..
adios!
