Because clarification.

 A few days ago, since I didn't want to assume anything, I texted Derp (also because out of boredom and I like throwing him off with serious questions out of the blue).

Me: Hey hey hey just wondering. Are we, like, exclusively dating?

Derp: Why? Did you find someone better looking and more charming than me? Ha! As if! I think we are. I mean I don't want to date anyone else atm so yeah... XD but do YOU want to be exclusively dating moi?

Me: Why yes I did find someone better looking and more charming. But he's not weird and he's not into poetry. LOLZ. Well I don't want to date anyone else and I don't mind dating exclusively. DATING IS HARD ENOUGH AS IT IS. Lol ok. Just checking.

****
 The next day, Derp asked me what made me ask him about our relationship so I relayed to him my conversation with Chi.

Me: ... Think about it! There's so many possibilities! Like, is it exclusive if there is mutual understanding? Or if one of them makes a move? Or is it already implied once you're going out? Or people just don't talk about it and just go with the flow? Or do they actually talk about it first and THEN become exclusive? Or is it-

Derp: ALRIGHT ALREADY WE'RE EXCLUSIVELY DATING



That wasn't so bad.

Allen Hugs.

I think Allen is getting comfortable with me...

Joe, Glenn and I met up with Allen and our friend Celest at the Riverside Plaza in front of Johnny's Burgers. And then Celest left, then Allen was about to leave. He slapped-bro-handshake with Joe and Glenn and then he hugged me. OMGOMGOMG, HE HUGGED ME AGAIN.

I literally felt like I was going to poop out my heart. <3

TEEHEE,
Otter

Grah status

 More than a week ago, I was talking to my Chi about things between me and Derp.

Chi: So is he your boyfriend?

Me:  ... Um. I don't know. I mean, there's a mutual thing but I don't wanna assume.

Chi:  But you guys are dating exclusively?

Me: Well... I'm not seeing anyone else and he's not seeing anyone else.

Chi: Gosh, this is so hard for us girls. We don't know if it's official or when it's official. Like, is there "The Talk"? Is it when you've kissed? Or do you just automatically become a couple? How does that work?

Me: I'm hungry.

Chi has never had a boyfriend and I only had one serious boyfriend so we are at loss.

Is It Bad If I Want You?

WTF AM I DOING YOU GUYS?!

I don't know if I'm digging myself an even bigger hole or what...

I honestly like DG... A LOT. I don't even know why! But I like him a lot and it makes me a little upset because I know I can't have him.

Sigh, Blue Fox.

Me: You forgot my birthday. :(
Blue Fox: Happy belated birthday
Me: Did you forget? Haha.
Blue Fox: I spent time with my family, I apologize.
Me: Yeah, my birthday was on a Sunday but you could have texted. But it's mmk, I'll forgive you.
Blue Fox: How are you? I wish I could have seen you in LA. But I couldn't. And you couldn't.

You knew that I'd take the bus, train, more buses, spent the night with you, take the bus to the train and go back home in a heartbeat. You know I would. You know I would do anything for you.

Young JV

 This guy was a schoolmate in my first classmate and I doubt he remembers me. I remember when he first came to the school with his dad. He still had braces. And he told me how he's recording an album and his genre was hip-hop.

Posting this video because I love how he used the school for the setting. And dancing in front of the library? LOLZ epic. I also love how the video makes the school look a lot cooler than it actually is.





Oh, and here's his debut song/music video (2009). This guy needs more exposure here, though I highly doubt if the mainstream music business would be kind to him.

Birthday Gift and Giggles.

These are my new gifts that my friend Joe (the one that baptized me) got me for my birthday. He didn't know what I liked so he took me out to Forever 21 and told me to "go crazy". I felt really bad because I knew he didn't have to do it and if you were to ask me to go crazy, I will. -_- but I didn't. We were actually in Forever 21 for three hours because I was going around the store and asking clerks for opinions and such. And every time I saw something suuuuper cute, Joe would be like, "No, sis. No. Don't get that. That's too short/that's too see-through/That's not modest enough/You need something for church/No, boys will stare at you. No, sis. No!" AND THEY WEREN'T THAT BAD. But, it was cute that he was watching over me like that. But I had a fun time, he got to see me wear most of the stuff and it made me happy. I spend $80 and he told me that my budget was $150! Thank god, I didn't go that far! But the funny thing is since it was the Memorial Day weekend, there was a sale for those in the military or family of military. Since I still have my Dependent Military ID card (which expired last year when I turned 21), I still used it and the lady clerk didn't see the expiration date so she still gave it to me. LOL! And our friend, Glenn, was told of where Joe and I were and he said, "You're such a girl." TEEHEE.

Sadly, DG can't come to my birthday but he promised me a date with just us two so I'm figuring out what to wear for that when that day comes. <3

I'll take a picture of all the items when I wear them. :)

OH, OH, OH! I ALOMST FORGOT! PS!!!

On Sunday, when everyone was greeting me for my birthday, Allen (the cute guy that I have a huuuuuuge crush on) came up to me and said "happy birthday" and he HUGGED ME. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, ALLEN HUGGED ME! (fangirl scream)

The end.

Happy,

Otter

OMFG, UPDATES. FINALLY.

So here's some updates that I wasn't able to post up in time because there's just so much going on:

Oh Hey Guise

 I've decided to resuscitate my personal blog after a year of nothingness. For some reason I just had no motivation whatsoever to maintain but I thought I should just give it a makeover, seeing as this term I happen to have a lot of free time and ideas in my head that I wanna put out there.
I have a personal blog in Tumblr, but everytime I log in Tumblr, it uses up bandwidth like fuck and my family members are all yelling at me to log out.
For those who know me in real life, here it is: remarkablyweirdsyndrome.blogspot.com

I'm gonna make the blog posts more... I dunno, socially relevant and shit. Also, I'll just post stuff there with things I don't mind putting out in the open for my other friends and family members to see.

I'll still be posting here in this blog, no worries.

To my blogger friends, I've already followed your respective bloggies. Pls follow back. Kthnxbai!

Happy Birthday Otter!

 Well, on my side of the world anyway it is technically your birthday. Happy birthday and I hope I shall see you in the near future. Meanwhile, here is a drawing for you. :D A picture of us just enjoying each other's company. Or breathing space. Hurhurhurhur.

 I laffles thee, and I wish you all ze happiness in teh worlds and universe. I also wish you'll find true love (not the kind that only wants your presence just so you could attend their company seminar jeezus what is that). I also wish you many clams, genuine connections, and extremely minimal drama llamas in your path.

 And because it is your birthday, I will relay to you some details of your numerology for the year 2012.

 Personal year: 1- this means that this year is a year of new beginnings. Many new doors will be opening at you at this time and there is no way you can that you can enter them all at once. This is a year for you to let go of all  kinds of baggage, whether it be emotional, old opinions, old habits, fears, decisions (or indecisions). This is a year of courage! Get real clear on what you want and go for eet!
 And based on your recent blog posts, Otter, (including the one in Tumblr), this also means that this year is challenging you to take a greater stand and to stand by yourself.

 Essence: 6- Essence numbers represent influences, or the "ambience", of your personal year.
 Currently there is a focus on circumstances and opportunities in the home, family, and domestic matters. This involves you in service to your community in some way; assuming responsibility for those outside your immediate family. (Which is interesting since you've been recently doing community service- and the number 6 represents service, relationships, and responsibilities.)

Wishing you all the best,
Awkward Turtle

Yay drawing!

 I decided it was time that Turtle and Otter have an original profile pic. I know it's rude to use another artist's creation without permission (not to mention the copyright issues). So I finally drew one.

  Quite happy about it.

Jeremy Renner singing resulting with me throwing my underwear across the room

 Unfortunately, this Jimmy Fallon interview isn't in YouTube for some reason. It was very nice of Charlie to link this Tumblr post in my FB wall. Click HERE to see the sexy sexy Jeremy Renner singing New York State of Mind.

I am fangirl.

I Am A John Green Fan Yet I Haven't Read ANY of His Books

I'm going to try and see if I can actually drop a Shakespearean insult this week hurhurhurhur. Dude has a point. If you're going to insult anyone, at least put some class and wit into it.



I have decided that on this day forth, I am a nerdfighter.

That is all.

Still not coming out of the shell,
Awkward Turtle

On the bright side...

...On my way to Derp's place that yesterday afternoon, the jeepney was passing by this store which had the song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" blaring from outdoor speakers and I was just laughing like an idiot by myself because Charlie.

... their younger brother, the Scary One, arrived while we were having lunch. I asked him where he's been and he said he just had summer classes. "Preparing for college," he added. For some reason I found this really adorable and let out my usual "oh-my-gas that is teh adorbs" cry of delight. To which the Scary One comments to Derp, "the way she cries is weird."
 "That's not the only thing about her that's weird," Derp says as he continues eating.


... after dinner, we were just talking about the awesome episodes and discussing the good parts and the just plain freaky parts. I was still talking when Derp suddenly leans in and kisses me. And it was derp.
 This is how each brain cell in my head started reacting:

God I suck at everything.


Still in a discreet state of shock,
Awkward Turtle

Oh God.

 
      I feel so guilty because the brothers just dropped me off several minutes ago at my place because I overstayed (I blame the Korra episodes and Game of Thrones that makes it seem time flies). Derp said their mom was cool with letting me spend the night but the dad wasn't for some reason. So Derp volunteered to accompany home by bus and then Godfather arrives and insists that he drive us ("I'd rather be driving than spend the whole night worrying." he says, and as long as Derp pays for gas, he's cool. NYURR NYURR NYURR Godfather I owe you one big-time). I paid my share for the gas as well so that means good-bye Komikon. -_-  I will probably not be dropping by their house for a month coz I'm just so embarassed about the whole thing grah what have I done.

Not coming out of the shell til tomorrow,

Priorities Priorities

 It's weird how some Jessica Sanchez fans are going melodramatic and screaming "racism" and "discrimination" just because she didn't win the title.

Blah blah blah yada yada yada.

Guise, it's great that we actually have these moments of rage but for some reason it's being channelled in the wrong direction. It's amazing how everyone only realized that these talent shows based on popularity votes don't have standards for talent.

 China has sent more ships (over 90, I think) to the Scarborough shoal, the Corona impeachment trial is still ongoing, yet we're more outraged by AI results?

Really, guys? Really?

Disappointed,
Awkward Turtle

So I'm just thinking...

For Father's Day, maybe I could video myself singing "Dance With My Father"  and do it acapella. Then post the video on his wall. More personal that way. Also a chance for me to get over my fear of having my singing recorded on video. Trolololol.

Bleh, Sorry Friends!

Sorry, I've been MIA a little bit... I've been a little slow to post up blogs on this page.

To be honest, I haven't been feeling like myself. I've been emotional lately.

I know that I'm leaving soon so I'm not motivated to do anything like working out or planning awesome events because I'm leaving soon, you know? I just don't want to "party" because it will remind me of "hey, you have to party hard because you're leaving soon!" and it makes me sad. Because I've made so many friendships with so many people and I love the people I go to Institute with and to know that I'm leaving them in four weeks makes me really sad. :(

Whatta Day

  Had to wake up early for Spanish class, which is at 8am. As some people know, I am really groggy in the mornings when I am forced to wake up. Even an early dismissal from class didn't help. When I walked out to the corridor, a familiar person suddenly walks into my line of vision. Then I am suddenly wide awake.

It was Panda OMG.

Wild Panda appeared! Panda uses hug! Turtle hugs back.

Guise I swear he is one of those people who is genetically designed to be gorgeous and huggable at the same time.

**************************************

I have an African classmate in Spanish class.

I want to befriend him.

What do.

*************************************

After my evening class, my schoolmate Chong treated me to Mang Inasal for dinner because we haven't seen each other nearly the entire term last term (and also coz he knew it was my birthday a week ago so yay late birthday celebrations!). I appreciate good people and good food so I am quite grateful for a lot of things today.


Awkward Turtle

Um hahahaha bracelet

 As I write this, I am chatting with Charlie on FB since she couldn't reply to me through text. And I am laughing like an idiot in front of the computer because she so funneh with her reactions.

*******************************************************

 Anyway, today was loads of good vibes because I saw Godmother, Derp and Isaw today. I headed to BBB after class to see them and we were just "yaaaay friendship!!" and hugs for everyone. Apparently Isaw has been OJT-ing at SDA and I get to visit Godmother next week! (Charlie, you must come so we can mess up her things and stuff).

 After that, Godmother had to enroll and Isaw had to go back to work. So Derp accompanied me to grab lunch at Mashitta where I ordered miso ramen. (Coz it had tofu and I remembered Godmother's one post that involved appreciation of tofu so yeahh...)

 While eating ramen, Derp and I just talked, catching up with what happened with them at Bacolod. In the middle of the conversation, Derp says he's gonna give me something as he brings out this bracelet from his pocket and starts putting it around my wrist.

 And for a moment, my feelings were a mixture of terror, confusion, and a pinch of butterflies because ZOMG I'VE BEEN SINGLE FOR SO LONG WHAT DO I DO. It's not a fancy bracelet but it's nice and the thought that he got me something while he was out of town is sweet (cue Charlie fangirl-ing) so dsfkj;lhk;sdfhdsjk

"Um... what's the word I'm looking for... thank you?" I managed to speak. Then Derp gives me a hug because I think he knows I totally suck at this affection thing even though I'm just dying to show how much I appreciate the gesture hahahaha.

Bracelet totally matched my outfit yo.

Not-so-good books (LOL last one guise I promise)

One of the reasons why I'm having a hard time calling myself a Catholic. Also one of the reasons when someone starts justifying their beliefs and actions through the Bible, I am completely indifferent.

"Much of the Bible's appeal depends on its countless moral inconsistencies. These enable almost anyone to find passages that endorse their particular view."

These videos should be getting millions of hits or something.

Good without Gods

"They would tell us to be good because God was watching. And I would challenge them... Wouldn't it be better, I asked, if we were just good  and did good things and it didn't matter who was watching?"
- Nell Merlino

LOL OK I got this quote from an entrepreneur being interviewed by Reader's Digest.

 This is an awesome video about morality- and by far the most logical, comprehensive and wholistic.



I think it would be interesting for some of you guys to know that during the medieval age, while Christianity has taken a backward step in terms of education and morality, the Islam countries and cultures flourished because they encouraged scientific studies and scientific exploration. In fact, a lot of pioneering explorers and scholars  (for some reason not cited or mentioned by Western reasearchers or Western history) were Muslim. If Galileo was a Muslim, his works would've probably been celebrated instead of him being condemned for it.

March ARB Air Show Swear-In

I went to a YSA Kickoff Party in Rancho Cucamonga. I went with my friend Glenn and we got to hang out with other church members and meet new people (since there was a blood drive for Red Cross) and we got to eat some fresh burgers and hotdogs (knowing me, I got both) and some delicious watermelon!

Later, around 12:15pm, Glenn and I headed out to go to March ARB for my little swear-in (I've already sworn-in back in February) Our recruiter wanted us to do it at the Air Show to get that experience. So we had to practice marching and getting everything down before we officially do it with the Thunderbird's (amazing pilots in the USAF) and in front of 10,000 people.

It was amazing because I got to hear everyone applaud while we were about to do our thing and while we were standing in front of everyone, doing the Oath of Enlistment, F-15's and other aircraft's were flying above our heads and I just felt goosebumps, my heart was racing, it was my motivation... And I knew this is what I wanted to do.

Yay school

Me: Classes start this Monday, I'm so happeeeehhhhh...
Booty: Are you being sarcastic?
Me: What? No, I'm really glad that school's starting already. There's only so much summer break I can take before I go crazy.

I can only be bum-ish and carefree for so long before this little voice in my head starts to creep up that I should be doing something. And when I'm not doing anything, I get really anxious and start questioning my existence plus my life purpose in this world and that life isn't getting any better with me just being in the sidelines.

 OK I don't even remember what my schedule is tomorrow LOL.

And on a totally random note, I've been going through my numerology journal and I'm thinking of posting some of my friends' 2012 readings. It'll just be a brief overview of each of everyone's challenges and essence for 2012 which I hope will encourage self-acceptance, understanding, and hope for those who are feeling particularly uncertain about their direction in life. (LOL WTH I sound like my yoga master)

Free Comic Book Day hurhur

Woke up around 7am just to get ready and leave for Bonifacio High Street with my proclaimed half-brotha Wapwap. We arrived at our location an hour early. So we waited in line in front of Fully Booked under the blazing sun (good thing Wapwap brought an umbrella) as we killed time talking about graphic novels and The Avengers movie. Finally, FullyBooked opened, and it still took us several minutes until we actually get to step inside the bookstore.

 

Wapwap was also excited with the fact that there's a Comic Odyssey inside FullyBooked.

The free comic book, plus the two freebies. I gave the Avengers: Age of Ultron to my li'l bro. I had the additional "freebie" kid comic for myself (quite funny and heartwarming, nicely done) plus the Thor-vs-Loki poster.
   I was actually anxious because I thought Wapwap had the last Thor-Loki poster until one of the guys browsing through the freebies changed his mind and put the Thor-Loki poster he was holding back to the pile. Thank you, nerdy stranger! *swipes poster*

This  poster will not be staying with me though. (LOL shaddup Charlie, it is a birthday gift, it is not laffles)

Swimmingly fun day,
Awkward Turtle

So here's the deal...

My mom doesn't know this thing between Derp and me because a.)there is the pressure right now for graduating on time. If I fail a subject, the first thing she'll do is blame the guy for being a distraction. As if my course isn't hard enough as it is. And b.)she'll start to think that everything I'm gonna do will be for the guy. Go figure.

I like Derp so this will be a challenge.

Pondering stuff,

WTF Blue Fox Part. II

 I'm going to go on a rant right now, you don't have to read it but... I just had to...

 So within this week all my FB posts will be relevant to gay rights.

Ohai I'm 22 now

 Thanks to everyone who greeted me on mah birthday!

Ok. So here's how my birthday went.

10am-ish. Met up with Charlie at Jollibee in Taft. I grabbed a quick breakfast while waiting for her. Waited for Derp to be done with his enlistment in school so we can go to PAWS at 11am.

11am. Had to leave for PAWS though we had to leave Derp coz he wasn't done with the stuff he had to settle. We arrived in Katipunan at almost 12pm. We trolled Dork saying that we were waiting for him at Katip station even though we were still halfway through the LRT2 train route. XD

12pm-ish. Met with Wapwap and my sister at the grocery in Katipunan. We bought cat food to bring to the shelter. Met up with Dork at Fullybooked. He arrived, apologizing endlessly for making us wait for a long time. (Even though it wasn't that long hahaha sorry Dork)

1pm. Arrived at PAWS. Had to give up our IDs at the entrance. It was funny coz Dork's school ID was literally VAGUE. Hahahaha.
   They were pleased with the donations. The directress of the shelter was there too and she asked if my friends were going to help out too. "Don't they have to have attended the volunteer orientation?" I asked. She said that the senior volunteer was present and can supervise us so it's cool.

We ended up wiping down the cats (kind of like a sponge bath but with towelettes) at the cattery. Some of the cats were uber affectionate. Others didn't want anything to do with us. The cats at the Special Needs ward wasted no time playing with Charlie's boots- which had fringes and chains for them to fiddle with. Some of Godmother's minions were really FAT.

2pm-ish. Left for my place where birthday lunch was waiting. Said good-bye to my sister who started having skin rashes from all the cat fur she was exposed to. While at LRT2, we were standing near one of the poles.

Then Dork's birthday idea was to give Charlie a pole on her birthday and then she'll ask, "what's this?" and then  Dork will take the pole and say, "there's a second part!" and proceeds to start pole-dancing for her.
Wapwap calls it the "Dork Special." LOLOLOLOL

While in line for a ticket at the MRT station, Dork asks if my mom will be there. "Yeah, you get to meet her." I said. THEN he starts asking me and Charlie if he looks ok.

3pm-ish. Arrived at the condo. Food was already laid out. Charlie and Dork immediately fell in love with our toy poodle, Malia. They started cooing and going maternal over her, it was actually adorable. Dork described her as a "chocolate bar" and a "mocha muffin."

4pm-ish. Derp finally arrived. We had accidently saved one last pizza slice for him!

5pm onwards. Charlie and Dork still couldn't get enough of Malia. There was at one point they were nuzzling her together.
Me: OMG. They're doing it again- but with a dog!
Derp: That just sounds wrong.

For the rest of the day, we just had derpy-weird conversation. I had them watch a couple of Petra Mahalimuyak's videos. And then I had the brothers watch and close-read Rango.

For the record, best birthday yet.


OK guys I'm gonna stop at this point coz I'm really exhausted and I just wanna lurk in the blogosphere to calm my mind.

WTF Blue Fox, Just Stop It!

You tell me the only time to see you is today and I have to be at Fullerton, CA  by 7PM? For what? A FUCKING EVENT? I don't want to go to one of your company's seminars! I want to see YOU! How hard is that? Yes, I don't have a car. No, I'm not going to spend $200 on taxi. I'll take a train but you have to meet me half way!

Blue Fox: Today is the only day for the event.
Otter: What are you doing for the other days you're going to be here?
Blue Fox: I'll tell you when you come here tonight.
Otter: Poo. Just tell me.
Blue Fox: You have to earn it. Depending, you might see me all week but that all depends how much effort you put into coming today.

It bugs the shit out of me every time you do this! Why do I have to do all the proving? Why?! Am I or have I made it so fucking hard to make you see that I love you?! I moved out of Seattle for you. Yeah, I wanted to live in Maryland and you were a big push but look at what happened! I was even willing to move back for you during the spring! But look what happened.

Why do I have to the proving?! Isn't it already obvious that I want to be with you? Isn't it already obvious that I love you?! Isn't it already obvious that I'm willing to do everything I can for you?! WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO FUCKING DO TO MAKE YOU REALIZE THIS?!

Why can't you just tell me that you love me? Why can't you just be sweet like before? Why can't you just tell me that you miss me?! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TELL ME THE SHIT I ALREADY KNOW?! Why make me go through all of this?!

My ovaries are crying for Jeremy Renner

  Watched Avengers at Trinoma with Derp. It was EXCELLENT. Amazing. The pace, the transition from one character to another, the editing, OMGOMGOMG I won't be able to sleep. All the characters were just... PERFECT.  I was probably the noisiest in the audience.

 I know Chris Evans (and his buns) is the popular choice. Chris Hemsworth isn't far behind with his good looks and accent. And we all know Robert Downey Jr is charming in his own way. But throughout the movie I was going crazy over Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.

I thought he was hot in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. But apparently he can be hotter.

My friends will kill me for not falling in love with Chris Evans. Evans is too pretty and is the typical Hollywood pretty-boy. Just one look at him and I think, "oh he's cute." And that's that. But Jeremy Renner- in my case, anyway- gets hotter the longer I look at him. He's just oooooozing sex appeal.

OK I'm gonna stop now before I start drooling.

Dammit I won't be able to sleep soon.

Senior Citizens and Post-Hunger Games

 I've been in Manila since Saturday but had to spend the weekend with my relatives at my dad's side because of a 60th birthday party. Also, our internet connection just got reconnected couple of minutes ago.
 Imagine me and my little bro's excitement when we saw the green lights all lit up on the modem after calling PLDT. We raced toward the computer. XD

 The birthday party wasn't as bad as I thought. The food was terrible but I got to see my favorite cousins and relatives from my dad's side. And I was expected to sing. So I ended up singing Adele's "Someone Like You". I think everyone appreciated that performance.
  One of the highlights of the party (and Charlie knows about this) were the senior citizen jokes. Which I found hilarious for some reason even though they were bad.

"Enjoy your 20 percent!"
"Life begins at SEXTY."
"In every man's success is a woman's behind. True story."

 Last night, my big bro was watching Hunger Games in his laptop. I sat with him on the scene when Katniss kisses Peetah, and then it shifts to Gale watching the whole thing.

Me: LOL poor Gale LOL
Bro: Dapat kasi nag-volunteer din siya. Bobo!

So my brother's statement kinda rocked my world. Why didn't Gale volunteer? I mean, he knows he's more badass than Peetah. Trololol

Best Two Words Ever Said.

(May 5th 2012)

Otter: Hey, how are you? Evreything's good, right?
Blue Fox: Mhmm
Otter: Are you still coming to Los Angeles?
Blue Fox: Yup
Otter: When?
Blue Fox: 16th to the 21st.
Otter: Well, if you're still coming... Would you still want to come out and see me if you could or have the time to?
Blue Fox: Of course.

DEP PT!

I stopped asking for rides from my neighbor because he was acting hella weird and he was having a bitch fit with me when I didn't even start shit. So now, I had to take the bus. And even though I've rode the bus before... It was just weird to ride it by myself because I usually go with someone else.

But, I'm kind of tired of asking for rides so I rode the bus, I woke up at 6:45am to be able to catch the bus at 7:15am. And then I forgot I left the direction and route at home and so I had to go back for it, so I sprinted all the way back home and back just to be able to catch the bus.

I had to take the 10-bus, then transfer to the 1-bus but since my bus card was invalid and I had only $20 bills in my pocket, I had to sprint to the nearest donut shop or a liquor store to get change for my money. And then sprint back to the bus stop just so I don't miss it but even with all that sprinting, I should have just counted that as my PT... But, I was still 30-minutes late for my PT.

I hate when I'm late.

But I was 30 minutes late but my recruiter was okay with it. She allowed me to do it since I've always been 30-minutes earlier before we actually have to meet (military time) and I never missed a date since I signed onto the DEP group. So, she let it slide. And then I managed to jump in with the guys. We had to run 10 laps, every 2 laps, we do a core work out, whether it be push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbs etc etc. And after my 6th lap, I was like, "Wait... Guys... I... I can't... Wait for me..."

But I survived and since I was late (so were two other guys) I had to do an extra 40-push ups.

And then I had to go back to the bus stop on the other side, wait 45-minutes for it to come and spent another one hour and 30 minutes on the bus. Sigh.

Good times.

I have five more weeks left. SIGH.

Nervous,
Otter

DEP PT and Bus Transit.

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I haven't been updating this, I know I should though! I've just been really busy lately.

Today (05/09/12) I had DEP PT but since I'm no longer getting rides from my neighbor, I had to take the bus and I arrived at the office 30 minutes late but I managed to get with the guys and start my PT. We had to do 10 laps, and after every 2 laps, we do a core work out. 40 jumping jacks, 40 bicycle crunches, 40 push ups, 10 burpees, etc etc. So, it was kind of intense but at least I wasn't too far behind with the guys. But since I came late, I had to do an extra 40 push ups. But it was good seeing everyone again. Haha.

I spent three hours on the bus just to commute... Sigh.

Oh well. BRB. :)

Love,
Otter

Holaaaaa! :D

     Stuck here in the province til Thursday. For the meantime, communication with Sammie, Charlie and Derp has been curbing me from freaking out and losing my sanity from all the boredom here.

 I don't really have much updates except I probably won't see anyone from Taft or school until my birthday. Oh, and I've written more than a hundred "impossible" goals and dreams (e.g. "Sneak around the White House", "Be best friends with Emma Stone", "Appear in an episode of How I Met your Mother", "Be famous") I hope at some point in my life I'll be able to accomplish half of this seemingly radical list but hell, life's pretty short.

 Also, I have lately confirmed that I am obsessed with journals and notebooks. I bought two nice-looking notebooks with no idea what to use it for and I'm greatly reluctant to use it for school stuff.

 My Faliure family has made an agreement that if Derp and I get super-PDA at some point in front of them, they'll murder us. Frankly, I can't imagine that happening EVER because last time my ex wanted to make-out while in a taxi, I nearly pummelled the guy.

 Can't wait to see those fat cats in PAWS.

Marine + Mormon = Him

So, ever since the Fireside when we conjoined with other YSA's and apparently, there was a YSA that came that's two hours away and I met a lot of new people. Especially one.

29-Palms is a Marine Corps base. Some Marines came to our YSA's and they are not only Marines, but Mormons! Sounds perfect. And I met one. And we kind of clicked but he was super shy...

But we managed to exchange phone numbers. He actually texted me.

Since then, we've been talking non-stop. As much as I like him, I don't think I can do a relationship because I'm stuck with Blue Fox still. I try not to but... Still.

But Karl, the Marine Mormon, is falling head over heels for me. And as much as I like him... I can't lead him on but he's been taking my stuff a little too far and is expecting stuff. He's a great guy but he's expecting it to be romantic and stuff. :( and the fact that I leave for bootcamp in 46 days, it's going to be real hard for me and him and "us", if ever.

This is why I thought about not dating a member of the church. They get waaaaaay too ahead of themselves?

Now, he's kind of "worried".

What to do,
Otter

Updates.

Lately has been really... Difficult? No, should I say eventful?

PAWS Volunteer Orientation

  Just getting the word out guys.

PAWS Volunteer Orientation on May 5, 2012. 10am-1pm. Spread the word. :) Click HERE for details and directions.

 I know their location is far for some but sometimes I go for the special-needs felines who are twice more affectionate than the non-special ones.

Just sayin'

Godmother and Charlie should come to my province.

Because my mom bugs me to garden with her and I'm not really one with a green thumb. Plus I prefer work indoors.

And also because my mom's idea of fun is organizing, organizing, and organizing.

15 More Days

 I am serious about the cat food on my birthday guise. XD Well, aside from cat food you can also donate newspapers (litterboxes and cages need to be lined too), blankets, rags, and detergent powder. No canned fish /meat please. If anyone wants to come with me to PAWS or if you have stuff for the cats, pls pm me on FB or better yet, text me. I'll try to pass by Taft a day before or the day itself before I proceed to PAWS (which is in Marikina area.) :D

************************

 Next time, I am enrolling in summer  classes because everytime I wake up in the province, I feel like I am wasting my life away. Apart from the dancing, painting and the movie watching, there really isn't much going on and so far I've taken to entertaining myself by bugging people through text (yeah, that includes Charlie lol).

***********************

  I MISS YOU GUYS.

Meet Charlie. Emily found a stray cat while being at the other house that they plan to move into and she brought it home and her boyfriend said we could have her. So we did!

But not even a day later, he says we can't. :(



She fell asleep on my lap <3



She is the cutest little kitten I've ever had!



She's sleeping so well on my lap and look at Astro with his cone. :(
