I love him, nothing more nothing less.

I am the happiest person for this day! Yea he called na... Thank God. It was truly unexpected, leighn and I were on our way to Guadalupe to meet his friends, then he called! kung kailan naman hindi ko inaantay and of all places naman bakit sa Taft mrt station pa... medyo hindi nga kami nagkarinigan eh ang ingay kasi. Oh well. I'm so glad I've talked to him na, I love his voice, very gentle and he's really missing me na. I knew he was busy, told you. Sandali lang rin kami nagkausap, pero that's ok what matters to me naman is that we're keeping in touch and inspite of our busy lives we still have time for each other. :)

mahal: i'll call you again tomorrow... love you.
karla: ok, i'll wait. love you.
mahal: love you, love you mahal.
karla: i love you too.

awww... i really love this guy.

love this day

for the first time i arrived in class on time. woohoo! my classmates were surprised, even Mam Owis. hehe. well i really have to do this, to make it up... you know. what a lazy girl right? lol. we did some sorting of artifacts, sobrang alikabok nga lang. it wasn't easy pala... lalo na when small pieces na yung ina-arrange mo. damn! pero it was fun, helpful nga eh 'coz you get to practice your patience as well. that was all we did all day, not an easy task really. we also watched the ten million pound house, omg! restoration for ten million? well actually not just really restoration, it was for archaeological purposes too. pero grabe they used cow dung as a cement! haha. medyo boring eh kaya hindi ko masyado naintindihan. hehe. Mam Owis noticed us nga eh, she asked me "ayaw niyo nang manood?" then i replied, "hindi ok lang mam, nanonood nga kami eh." di ko gets kung sarcastic ba siya or talagang nagtatanong siya... oh well, sagot naman ako. lol. pero she's nice, really. napalakas lang talaga siguro yung ingay namin that's why. anyway, i am so happy today! i'll meet Johnson's friends tomorrow, they'll be leaving this thursday kasi, they're gonna attend the STS day in Lubuagan. So, i'm gonna give my letter for him, and hopefully hear from him soon. sayang nga eh, i wanna come sana pero hindi pa tapos yung class... tsk tsk. *sigh* oh well, basta i'm happy and i'm looking forward for his reply. *blushes*

random thoughts

i watched princess diaries 2, such a romantic flick you know.. i love these kinds of movies, 'coz i am a believer of love.. true love is what i meant. i dont know, consider me a dreamer and hopelessly romantic.. i guess that best describes myself. whenever i watch love stories, whether it is a movie or a teleserye, i really get emotional and affected.. maybe because am putting myself into their shoes too much, as if i have the same situation and the same feeling. some people find it weird and funny, but that's what i am.. weird and funny. and i hate it sometimes! am thinking too much, i'm so problematic you know.. grr! and now that i'm in love, am really worried, often times. most of my perceptions in life turned upside down, i never wanted a long distance relationship.. but i'm into it right now. i've never been attracted to someone really older than me, but i am now. and i never wanted to live in a province, but i consider it now. my parents are against him, against this relationship. "of all people, why him?", but why not mom? i was so scared, he's my first and i'm his.. never mind, but i should trust him and i love him. i am ready to fight for him, actually i did, which is why things are not good between me and my family right now, i know this will take a long process. i understand them, they're just protecting me and they just love me so much.. and i don't blame them for acting like this, i just hope they noticed how i have changed, how things have changed in my life. if they really want what's best for me and what would make me happy... they will let me love and be loved. honestly, that's all i wanted.

i'll hold on, i'll not lose hope... eventually this will pay off.

back on the track...

here's a brand new blog, but quite same old content... i just feel like creating new.

obviously am back! i'm one toasted lady... but i like it. Ü i had so much fun in the fieldwork and it helped me grow and become a better person. I've learned a lot from my experiences and it showed me the other side of life, and i'm so thankful i have given a chance like this. We're now through on our socio-cultural research in Kalinga, specifically in Lubuagan. I've been to a lot of places but Lubuagan was different, they have a rich culture, preserved traditions and a unique lifestyle. People's preconceived notions about this place are all lies, totally different from what we saw and experienced. The community were very hospitable, and people whole heartedly accepted us. It was really flattering because we easily became close to the community; we easily established our rapport. But then we had to adjust during the first few days, because life was so simple and everyone knows each other unlike here. Actually, that's what i love about the place; simple living, close kinship ties, ritual practices, friendly people, etc... I really enjoyed my stay there, and know what? the hiking was fun and exciting.. and dangerous. hehe. It was really a one heck of an adventure! Ü It's great 'coz i get to learn new stuff, meet a lot of different people, go to different places, while having fun. It was satisfying because i know i'm not just doing this for myself but for the people involve as well, at least i get to help them through this way. damn i miss that place already... oh well, we're going back in Lubuagan by the 3rd week of october, we're going to conduct a symposium and present our research. great! Ü Now, am dealing with my archaeology class in National Museum, still a part of the fieldwork.Omg Stress! But challenging? yupyup. Ü mapping, surveying, excavation and stuff... those are the things i'm busy with right now. Aww... i miss UP... i miss the gym, casaa, beach house, chocolate kiss, AS steps, walk and parking lot, sunken garden and all! Most especially my teammates and friends. Ü I gotta see you guys before i die missing you. lol. Basta i'll drop by in UP one of these days, i have so many stories to share. hint: lovelife! hahaÜ

ciao.
