Posted by arlene on Feb 3, '12 7:57 PM for everyone to be able to rest after a weekend getaway, I decided to take a day off at the start of the week. It’s been so long since I actually planned to do NOTHING… until I got bored in the evening. So I changed into my running clothes, pocketed my license, took out some cash from my purse, leashed my dog, and drove out.
I went to a car wash station, gave them my keys and told them I’ll just walk the dog around the neighborhood and be back for my car. During this time, I realized some things:
1. Big dogs bully little ones. A lot.
2. You shouldn’t have anything plugged in your ears if you have a small dog trailing behind you. You wouldn’t know it’s already wrestling with a cat.
3. Dogs are curious creatures. It would stop and sniff anything.
4. No matter how fast you run, dogs would always have more energy.
5. If you run with a dog, expect other (UNLEASHED!) dogs to run after you. Wtf.
6. It’s customary for dog walkers/dog runners(?) to greet every human being who’s doing the same thing when your paths cross
7. Driving after running sucks.
Posted by arlene on Mar 1, '10 11:49 PM for everyone This Time
Tonight the sky above
Reminds me how to love
Walking through wintertime
Where the stars all shine
The angel on the stairs
Will tell you I was there
Under the front porch light
On a mystery night
I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what ...might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind
This time
The neon lights in bars
And headlights from the cars
Have started a symphony
Surrounding Me
The things I left behind
Have melted in my mind
And now there's a purity
Inside of me
I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind
This time Posted by arlene on Nov 18, '09 9:30 AM for everyone tried blogging using a phone? not sure if it's just me but the experience was quite hellish. hahaha i managed to get through the first 5 sentences - most of which were blabber then forgot to save it. nice! watched/been watching big bang theory? sheldon's too funny to be real. but then again...there are lots of people on this planet. who am i to say what's possible and not? wonder how it would feel like to be friends with somebody that eccentric. either love him or smother him to death! ;p to be continued...gathering my scattered thoughts... Posted by arlene on Nov 4, '09 9:43 AM for everyone i miss writing. though laziness wins most of the time. i mean really, would you rather sit in front of your pc after 8 hrs (or more) of doing the same thing at work OR sleep, watch tv, talk to friends, etc.? but then again...yeah...maybe i'm just lazy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i sometimes feel like i'm caught up in the middle of a lot of things. like 24 hrs isn't enough. but when i stop to think, i realize none of them matters that much. sad thought, isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ a friend once asked me to rate aspects of my life. if i remember it right, it goes something like this: career - i think i just hit rock bottom. just when i thought it can't get any worse. money - middle. apir! hahaha may isa pa...pro no comment na lang. ;p too lazy to expound. if you know me, you probably already know what i'm talking about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- one of my childhood friends just came back from aussie. nobody knew she was coming so everyone was unprepared and our schedules are out of whack. hope she's enjoying her own surprise. lol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by arlene on Oct 8, '09 9:43 AM for everyone hope my dad continually gets better. i wish to stop worrying. maybe that's what's keeping me up most of the time. it's not funny when you sleep early only to wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning.
i want a new hobby. something to keep me occupied...fight boredom.
i need a target amount to save. or something to save up for. maybe that would work out better than just putting away money for nothing then taking all of it out again and more when i want something.
more energy to pray. or to believe. something to that effect. hmmmm...ano pa ba? Posted by arlene on Sep 25, '09 12:29 PM for everyone monday - went out with brother and sister. i forget where we went tuesday - booked flights. it's on! wednesday - dinner with friends. some of which i haven't gone out with in a really long while. ang saya! thursday - went out with a friend. thanks for breaking the mood. last count ko is 2 all. we're still even! ;p friday - movie with gerrd. sayang wala cha and pao. boooo saturday - uste! lunch na invite ni jason. ewan sino pa kasama. wahahaha sunday - future plans Posted by arlene on Sep 24, '09 12:18 AM for everyone tito j: ikaw ang aking pff
tito j: :))
len: platonic friend forever
len: haha
len: pano nga ba nagsimula un
tito j: hinihiritan kasi kita dati
tito j: eh sabi mo d tayo talo
tito j: platonic tayo
len: haha

tito j: after grad
len: di ba sabi mo

len: malapit lang bahay
len: hahaha
tito j: lol http://www.joelogon.com/platonic/ NOTE: This guide examines so-called platonic friendships (that is, relationships of a purely non-sexual nature) between men and women. Specifically, it examines two closely related aspects of the platonic friendship: - The tendency of women to develop close friendships with their male acquaintances, thereby pre-emptively eliminating any possibility of a romantic relationship, the result of which is to remove the poor schmuck's heart and shred it
- The process by which attractive and otherwise eligible women, when faced by proffered declarations of romantic interest by a male acquaintance, destroy the ego and spirit of said acquaintance by declaring that they only want to be "friends."
For the purposes of this investigation, I will assume that the women are indicating a genuine desire for a friendship-only relationship, and not employing a clumsy and transparent ruse to avoid an unwanted relationship (i.e. "blowing off," "dissing") -- such as a man would use. Furthermore, though there may be anecdotal evidence of such techniques being used by men on women, I believe that only women are able to inflict such great emotional damage with such an innocuous phrase as, "I just want to be friends," the result of which is such an artful and complete annihilation, leaving behind only a broken, whimpering husk, that there can be no doubt as to the cause. nakakatawa lang meaning. peace tayo, pff! hahaha Posted by arlene on Sep 18, '09 12:27 AM for everyone what a freakin' term, right?! my office friends and i picked up this "verb" from an "adopted revilla." wehehe Definition: expression of love (courting period and happy monthsaries)/deep sorrow (because of a breakup) for a woman, by a man, who has gone beyond cheesy i.e. SOBRAAAANG CHEESY!!!!!  Examples: refer to *toot*'s blog hahaha. peace tayo, jamal! ------------------------------------------------EDITED---------------------------------------------------- pang-small talk lang... "don't you forget that i have loved you beyond all the reasons that answers the question why" ------------------------------------------------EDITED---------------------------------------------------- http://twistedadventures.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/breaking-up/ be nice, boys and girls.  nde na daw kelangan i-blind item kc ready na sya maging sikat. <insert ROTFLOL smiley here>

Posted by arlene on Apr 18, '09 1:57 PM for everyone after chris left me a message asking where xtian was and saying something about him leaving for the states, totally abandoning the lion city, i finally got a hold of xtian (sira ka talaga, chris! he's back in singapore!) wehehehe. like what ed and i knew, he just came here to visit his family. since the details of his vacation is private, let's skip that one. we ended up talking about ptos and figured it would be best to use them this july. woohoo! since his parents wants to go out of the country too, he suggested a couple of friends and i go with his mom and dad so he won't have to go to manila to pick them up. excited na ko umuwi! excited na ko magbakasyon! btw, this trip has been planned/postponed a gazillion times and we've actually missed our flight once. hopefully, the HKG/MFM trip would push through this time.  jeanie - sasama ka ok?! wehehehe Posted by arlene on Apr 8, '09 12:24 AM for everyone i've been spending some time thinking... i would have liked to... pero wag na lang... like what a friend of mine says...it's such a waste of time... kaya... nevermind.

note: photos/description from compusa I BOUGHT HTC!!! :p Posted by arlene on Mar 23, '09 3:29 AM for everyone Bago ang lahat, my crappy phone isn't working here. Don't bother texting me til i get a new one. ;p march 14: mnl-nrt-pdx the flight was ok though i didn't get to sleep much. i kept on flipping channels trying to find a movie i can actually sit through and watch. there were hollywood choices, comedy, indie films, etc. suprisingly, everything seemed to bore me. even slumdog millionaire which undoubtedly is one of the best films ever made! marc 14 still: pdx-slc slept all the way through. na-miss ko tuloy un pretzels. ;p got at the slc airport around 4:30 p.m. people watched while waiting for lara to pick me up. apparently, nakatulog ang mga dapat susundo sa kin. waited for about 15 mins before lara and marc showed up. trivia: out of all the trips i had, it's the first time i carried a pen with me. wow! first time na nde ako nanghiram sa ibang taong nakapila sa line at sa katabi ko sa plane. wehehehe went to smith's directly from the airport. shopped for food and toiletries which took a while...as usual. went to my apartment and fixed/cleaned things. had dinner with renai, cling, marc and lara at applebee's. oh rib brisket, i missed you! sunday: went to mass. had lunch at costco. dropped phil at gateway. went to south towne while others saw watchmen. headed home for dinner(?) monday: TBC Posted by arlene on Mar 4, '09 8:03 AM for everyone hello multiply! been absent too long. since a lot of crap is already happening to the world, let's just skip all those happening to me...hehehe. i need a new phone! yeah, i know i just bought one last december but the stupid thing suddenly rebooted itself last night while someone was calling me. i know i bought the phone in a hurry and didn't bother checking reviews but still!!! i lost all my stored messages plus a couple of names in my phone book. as in names! there are a couple of numbers stored with no names at all.  since i'm now addicted to a very...umm...intellectually challenging series called gossip girl, i'm thinking about getting a sidekick! problem is it's locked with t-mobile. even if i do get it unlocked by the ever famous technicians in greenhills (in the cheapest price possible!), i'm not sure if i'll be able to use its mail and messenger features.  picture from amazon

Lincoln Hawk Every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there Oh it seems I’m walking right to your door With my heart still resting(?), looking for something more Are you ever going to see everything you mean to me? I’m trying really hard to believe And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there Nothing feels right when I’m left here on my own Left last night It seemed like I waited too long Are you ever going to see everything you mean to me? I’m trying really hard to believe And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there And every time you walk away or run away You take a piece of me with you there Come back to me You smile and you make my life complete http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnLyJ0IsvSE lyrics correction very much welcome Posted by arlene on Feb 15, '09 9:40 AM for everyone
