Underwood's JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL awards flowing

Carrie Underwood won awards for top new fermale vocalist and single record of the year at the 41st Academy of Country Music Awards, Tuesday, May 23, 2006, in Las Vegas.

it was katharine vs. taylor

kodak theatre was filled with a lot of hollywood stars as katharine and taylor sought after for the last time the most prestigious title in america. i was not satisfied with mcphee's choice of songs except for ''somewhere over the rainbow''. her would be single wasn't so nice too.

"the winner of 2006 american idol is..."

dlsu will be my buddy again starting tomorrow. but a little twist suggests that this time, it's sophomore year. yeah right, sophomore. i can't wait to handle and see and feel the giggles and the lessons and the adventures and the new building of dlsu.

i will take care of my phone. i will take care of my phone. i will take care of my phone. i will take care of my phone. and, i will take care of my phone.

09065079827-my new number. hmmm?!? is that a globe? yes, it is. due to mom's demand and her voice and her looks forced me to buy this sim. please give me ample time to absorb the fact.

lola will be moved to asian hospital tomorrow. i want to take care of her but i have no choice because of this trimester in la salle. if only...

still having second thoughts about the sim card to buy: globe or smart? one thing is pretty sure, i'll buy a sun sim.

note: tired and tired and tired and here i am, blogging.

hmmmm... back to this diary... there were so many things that happened and it would take me a day to narrate them all so i guess highlights would do:

first, lola is still in the hospital. i stay there always to look after her. i go there by 7:30 and leave at 8:00. when i'm home, i'm dead and i can always hear a voice that tells, "sleep!". please pray for my lola ming. please.
second, i was not able to attend the YM conference of finance sector of moomedia. bet i'll pay 50 bucks for not doing so. how could i when i was at the hospital?
third, brigada eskwela was a very fulfilling experience. i can never forget this.
fourth, i realized that i am very fortunate that i will not become a nurse. i'm always at the hospital and i can see their typical day at work. i would die if i were to become a nurse.
fifth: why elliot?!? taylor should have been eliminated from american idol. well for now, it's crystal clear that katharine will be crowned the new idol, though simon cowell predicts it will be taylor ( no way! )
most amazing part: my cellphone was lost. not only my cellphone, but all those reminders. good thing i was able to make a back-up a day before it was gone. ATC's purple couch will always be memorable. may the person who turned it off immediately after he/she got it rest in peace.

before school starts, i can almost become a nurse aide. tomorrow is still my duty.

p.s. reena, pabayaran muna ung moomedia shirt ko, please? di ako makakaattend sa meeting on saturday. i informed raine na. tag ka naman kung nabasa mo to :)

at last, wifi is now okay because after 10 years, the technician had finally arrived. now is the time for my rebellious rebate. hahaha.
my emails had been piled up and it took me 2 hours to clean all my mails. hahaha. the word is clean. clean.
before goin back to reality, i would like to share what happened in baguio.

it has been 10 years since we last visited baguio and all i can remember is that we stayed in a hotel and that i rode a bike at burnham park... wala lang.
we left our house at 3 am. so at around 2:00, i took a bath and conquered the cold water that had flown through the faucet. the trip took 6 hours. my god! but anyway, i enjoyed the trip for i have seen a lot of provinces like tarlac, pangasinan and every sort of their barrios! pati mga taong baryo! LMAO! when we arrived at Baguio, we first unloaded all our stuffs at the house located at LORO street. the house was clean and it was the first time that it had been rented by visitors like us. i liked the location of the house for it was very quiet and peaceful there and you can see the whole town proper of baguio. i appreciated the cool weather that people there wear jacket even when walking under the sun and even when they are in public market. cool. hahaha. even sm baguio has no aircon but it was really cold there. we went to a lot of places with the help of our tourist guide, denver.







10 out of 102 pictures, from top to bottom, left to right:
1.how small are we compared to the giant lion? 2.posing courtesy of daddy 3.with the igorots at the botanical garden (you have to pay them 20 bucks each for picture taking) 4. at last, praying after walking 200 steps just to get at the top 5. at the cathedral 6.mom pickin flowers 7.in the boat at burnham park 8.at the PMA camp 9.how delicious good sheperd ube jam is made 10.strawberries are everywhere

enough now. but i wanna live in baguio.

WIFI sucks. The reason why we connected to wifi is to have a dedicated and an instant access to the information gateway. It’s almost a week now and still, we have limited or no signal at all. I kept on calling *1888, the customer care hotline. I have been talking to a lot of call center representatives and I memorize their lines now. They utter the same words, feelings and expressions. They always tell me that they will forward the report to the hired technical group and I just have to wait for a call within 24 hours. JESUS CHRIST! One week had passed and I didn’t receive any single call. I called the stupid hotline again yesterday to find out that they contacted me in my cellphone last Monday, 11:00 AM but Peter, the call center agent, told me that they only heard the voice mailbox thing. I was at alabang that time but I used my smart sim the whole day, waiting for a call. I wanna kick their ass. Their service is too unsatisfying. UNSATISFYING. Unsatisfying. “This is SMART WIFI hotline. Press 1 for billing concerns or press 2 for technical concerns.” Fcuk. To make up for their poorest service, I will take advantage of the rebate and I’m ready to kill a smart wifi contact center agent. I’m not joking. I’m really serious. I wanna rip their heads off. Off.off. until I see a scenario from resident evil while jill shots a zombie with rocket launcher and then smash holes in their body.

Too much of the wifi concern. I’m here in a computer café and I would like to highlight some of the memories…

So to start with, I’ll start with april 26. this was the day when I was with reena and her, ehem, JUERGEN. We went to sarao, bamboo organ church, ate at gerry’s grill and had dessert at icebergs in harbour square. I have a question. Reena and juergen, can I post your pictures here?!? Hahaha!

April 29 was a day at ATC with mara, Marianne and mariel, my second cousins who are now my neighbors. Well, it was my first time to be with them at the mall and I couldn’t help it but to laugh when Marianne and her sisters threw words of wisdom. Hahaha. Go Nuts Donuts! LMAo!

April 30 was a very greeeaaattt day at tagaytay highlands. I recommend it to all to make the most out of tagaytay by goin here. The best country club I have ever seen. So beautiful and so amazing. I can never forget the cable car where we rode! Hahaha! And guess what, there are female muslims at the club. Aba mga Moslem may pangmembership din na _00,000 pesos. huwag mo kong tanungin Camille kung san nila nakuha un! Actually, I took a picture of them while they were also taking pictures. And I saw one of the muslim girls starin bad at me for I was lookin at them with a raised eyebrow. Kasi ang weird nila! Mayamang muslim! Hahaha! Sumakay rin ng cable car! Sana nga lumakas ung speed of the wind para mahulog sila! ;)

So we had lunch there and then strolled around. I also played bowling. Then we had dinner at the steakhouse there but I forgot the name. but their steak was very very very good. Yummy. I wanna live now in tagaytay highlands. Please mr. henry sy, give me a house there. Don’t you know that I’m related to don potenciano b. ponce, your best pal who helped you to be who you are right now, a business tycoon? But he died and I lost my connection with you. Or I have the option to work in sm primeholdings when I graduate and I will take the chance to talk these matters with you. Hahaha! Anyway, sa steakhouse, Gelli de Belen and Ariel Rivera and their kids were also there. Sayang! Dapat nagpapicture ako! Ang kinis niya! Pero ariel was not. Peace.

pictures from top left to right: in an antique shop at the hotel, at the back is the place where claudine and raymart were married, at the hotel lobby tryin to be cheerful, don't you see that i'm in a cable car?

May 01. we were at alabang again. Had lunch at zhong then went to festival mall (SALE!) then had dinner at brother’s burger. Uuuuuyyyy, brother’s burger!

By the way, isay and gab must have been having fun now at hongkong Disneyland. Dapat kasi sasama ako, eh kaya lang, mom has to fix a lot of papers kasi minor pa ko! Anyway, ninong onie! Ung promise mo ha! Next year, libre!

Anyway, in case wifi will not be repared till Thursday night, sige na nga. I’ll say it now. I’ll be in BAGUIO for 3 days and 2 nights. The last time I went there was 1996. sorry zion, di ako makakapunta sa meeting. sorry raine, i'll just beg sherrie to collect the money as of now.

i went to school today for the treasurers' meeting with christopher ngo. zyon accompanied me. thanks zyon!

Baguio, here I come. Strawberries and good sheperd ube jam. Yumm….

CIAO.
