Hmmn..

It is whilst living in that home that Hagu develops her skill in drawing and painting, her only past-time, though she finds nothing to sketch save for the never-changing view she has from her porch, varying only in seasons. - from http://myanimelist.net

I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to elaborate but I think I understand Hagu's feeling a bit better now.




Everything was taken from the window of PGH Room 703.

The first three were taken when Lola's taking a nap and I was sick of watching TV and playing with Hime.

Also, everybody had their elaborate picture and story of 'the Ondoy experience' but all I got when the storm was raging is the 4th picture. (Not that I'm jealous of their experience or anything, I am deeply thankful that the worst I had to deal with was to hold Hime's light so that the nurse can feed Lola.)

The fifth and sixth were the pictures after the storm.

OK, so being able to see the same scene over and over through some part of the room is the only likeness of my situation with Hagu's, everything else is very ['essie'].. =) besides, only the weather changes, not the season.. O___o


SPOILER WARNING!


.. and Nodame's.... Huwaaaaa.. Y_Y


Actually, you'd see the spoiler on the side bar. Here's the bigger pic:



Huwaaaa.. Y_Y


*There there essie, you can make it through..There, there, you brave otaku..*

I'm off to work tomorrow!

Stress busters.. :3

My dear Lola was sent to the hospital last September 16th and I've been helping my Tita and my Mom nurse her since. I really respect nurses now, such dedication and guts! (with all the needles, blood, phlegm, etc.. Oooops, stop reading the first part of this post if you're eating!)

I came home tonight feeling exhausted and hopeful at the same time. Lola has regained her strength but it's a pain in the heart every time the nurse does phlegm suctions. Unlike the past few days when Lola has always been asleep, she's now concious most of the time which is good but that also means she can feel the pain every time they do something to her. So today, I've been mostly holding Lola's hand to give her courage and been running around the hospital (you can now call the Essie, the PGH Tour Guide, lol.) to pay bills and stuff which really is energy zapping.

I've been reading the manga Kimi wa Pet by Ogawa Yayoi to distress and thank God there has been a mass upload of the series in Mangafox recently. I started watching the drama a year ago but for unknown reasons, I dropped it. I'm planning on picking it up again once everything settles down because Matsujun is so cuuuuute there. lol. :D Haha, it's because of him and because I love Goda Takeshi's character. Maybe because I'm also in need of a hot pet these days that's why I found his character so appealing. Nyuhuhuhuhuhu~ :3

So there, I found these Matsujun vids on http://jdorama.com.. =) Anti-stresssss! Weeee ^__^


I can't believe he sang this one. Always been a fave... =)



.. and this one is so funny. So this is the "Jin" Akanishi Paula is talking about.. haha.. :D


So there, I just wanted to post something up before snuggling beside Hoshikuzu.. ^___^ v

(Teehee, I'm officially a Matsumoto Jun fan now! Better late than never! :p)

Here's Kimi wa Pet, enjoy!

.. and oh, please continue praying for Lola because we can all see it's working! Aja! ^0^/"/

Thanks everybody! *huuuuuuugs*

A quick post while I'm still engulfed with memories.. :D

I'm actually cleaning my closet right now but I just had to stop and say...

Keep a diary, It's fun reading them after 8 years! I mean it. It's HILARIOUS, I tell you! I just can't stop myself from laughing! *rofl*

I found the diary I was keeping back my HS Senior years and it's really a trip down loonville and memory lane!

I found entries about the Student Council elections, my despair over Harry Ortilla, my secret crush on Richmond, my escapades in Manila City Hall as Secretary to the City Council, the events I organized, Momsie and Popsie's birthday, the little misunderstandings I had with AINJELEs and how we made up and my never ending battle with the fact that High School is almost over and I haven't got myself a boyfriend yet. (which I found pathetic now, I sound so desperate then! LOL!).

Everything is so... heartwarming. It feels like being in the pensieve. :3

... and also, I now know the date when I wished and prayed for that certain somebody to come into my life. As I've told them before, after 3 dots, he knocked on the door and ended my never ending High School battle.

December 5, 2000.. :D

O_o

So.. It's been 2 months, huh. Now that's lazy. Lazy Essie, it sure rhymes. (LOL, nonsense.)

Anyway, (I promised not to start the next sentence with 'anyway' but I still did it! Gah! Lemme try again! xD)

The truth is, July and August have been very productive months. I've been very busy reading mangas, as well as Gaiman and Murakami, watching bishies that would be gay if they were real and taking pictures of my more-than-willing-to-model-for-pictures-they-can-post-on-Facebook cousins. See? So dear Blogspot, please don't come kicking and screaming at me, demanding I post something up your site. I even think that the more appropriate word for the past two months is exhausting, I've been exhausting my eyes from reading 1/2 Ouji to meet my daily dose of B Vitamins, go figure!, watching Lelouch use his Geass on poor Yuffie and for my sanity's sake, it's pronounced as 'gee' - 'as', not like the 1st word of an obsolete shampoo, not like a duck or worse, a transvestite's bottom! and worrying about the cat-like rodent that's been creeping up and about our house since my Popsie passed away.

Huh? Oh yeah. Papa did pass away last July.

Fine. Sheesh, you see Blogspot, after all those essential activities I've been doing, the real reason why I don't want to post anything here is because I'll start to write how much I miss Popsie. Every time I sing, I remember listening to Papa's cassette tape of Neil Sedaka. He said he was part of the choir back his elementary school days and I got my voice from him because Mama has always been tone deaf. Every time I get home from work, I still anticipate seeing him on his favorite chair by his vulcanizing shop either sleeping while seated or smiling at me to ask if I've had my lunch already. When I sleep, I would suddenly wake and look at the window by my room where Papa would usually spend humid afternoons to cool off. I don't even want to celebrate my birthday this year because he's no longer here to recount the day I was lost in the cemetery and how he rushed and left his lunch untouched when he received the phone call from the cemetery help desk. Thinking about all these memories make me want to leave reality and escape with my paper and tube fantasies. It's overwhelming.

But every time I am being overwhelmed by these thoughts, I stop and think, if this is too painful for me, what about Mama's pain? She's been with him since forever and losing half of your body, heart and soul is no joke. I really regret saying "Ma, andito pa naman kami eh.." because now I understand how we, their children, were merely stars in the universe of togetherness they have created way before our existence.


So with that, I stop and leave unnecessary things behind to I can support Mama.

I'll be leaving work. LOL. Haha. (sorry, the teary-eyed me can't take it any longer so, again, I escape to laughter.. :D)

I've been away from work for some days now because of some drama I'd rather forget but seriously speaking, I've found something of interest lately and I'm really hoping that I can work some things out with Morpheus (think Gaiman's Sandman, not Matrix!) before this year ends so I can start my 2010 with a brighter smile.. :3

Ooooh, this is a rather lengthy post..

Hey, if you've been to Papa's wake or interment or have offered a prayer for him, or remembered him, or skipped lunch so you can put something inside that little white envelope, or played terembe so that the terembe dealer can give us tong (no, not the skimpy underwear!), or have been drunk silly that night and caused commotions, everybody who supported us in their own little big ways, a heartfelt THANK YOU. *huggles* It's rather late, but as I've said, I've been very, eherm, busy.. :p We really really really really appreciate the time and effort.



.. and to you Popsie, until we meet again..
