Good Girl No More

Para akong tanga lately. Actually for quite a while. Ang bad bad ko lang. I do and say what I want and I hurt people that loves me. And I don't pray. Even go to church.

Poging Peter

Isa na lang, Robin Scherbatsky na ang peg ko ("I have five dogs!") And this new dog is Peter, not Franco. Nope, I did not just change the name. This was the one with the darker color na hindi ko gusto nung una. Naisip ko kasi hindi ito kay Pablo, nasalisihan siya.  But when I saw his face, baby pa lang I knew he's gonna be a looker. He was also the meekest, acting inferior, as if he knew he doesn't belong. I thought the other two seemed strong and would survive in another home, but this gentle puppy needs me. Yeah, he had me at being gentle. So I decided to keep him and gave Franco away. Nung sinundo na si Franco ng aampon sa kanya, tinago ko pa si Peter sa kwarto dahil baka siya ang magustuhang hingin. Ayoko.

He's super handsome I was just calling him "pogi". Why name him kung ipapamigay din naman diba? But when I decided to keep him, I had to think of a name quick, kasi pag tinawag mo siyang "pogi" lumilingon na siya. Kaya siya naging si Peter. Kahit ano na lang basta 'wag lang "pogi". 

I like taking pictures of our dogs from when they were little until they grow up. It amazes me to see how tiny they used to be in my arms, until the time I cannot carry them anymore.

who wouldn't want to keep this cutie

gusto ko 'to, nanay na nanay ako

Ngayon makulit na siya, spoiled and stubborn, and I would tell him "Niloko mo ko. Nagbait-baitan ka lang para ikaw ang maiwan".  :) But really, he makes getting a fourth dog so worth it.

Sayang na moment

Right now, a meter away from me…is a crush. Not major though. I used to just see him around. Last night was the first time we made small talk. Nice guy. And now…we’re alone. He was busy with Youtube and I’m with Twitter and blogs. But once in a while a thought would hit me…”sayang ang moment”. But then, I would shrug off that thought. What do I have to say to him? Hayz…if only I’m cool and interesting.

Raquel and Friends in Potipot

"Brigs" are my barkada in NCO (2006-2007), and though we work for different companies now, we have remained even greater friends through the years. Last year lang nabuo ang tawag na "Brigs" at dahil 'yan sa isang matinding inside joke at laugh trip tungkol sa brigada siyete. We had to see each other this summer dahil huli kaming nagkita ay October last year pa. We left Manila via Victory Liner the midnight of April 22 (Sunday) to head to Potipot in Candelaria, Zambales.

 Potipot was beyond my expectations. 

summer beach hair

tulog ako ng nagaganap ito

Hindi ata ako tumagal ng lampas 30 minutes sa tubig nung Sunday. But on Monday morning I thought the still water was so inviting I had to swim. Sabi ni Je-anne, sa palagay niya matinding sikat ng araw lang naman ang kalaban ko, dahil kahit beach lover siya hindi niya mati-tripang mag-swimming mag-isa.

My morning swim. I wrote a name on the sand but edited it in Paint

I did not know my tummy can appear like this in photos! Oo, ako na ang mayabang dahil 'yan lang ang meron akong wala sila. Minsan inalipusta ako ni Elga sa scrabble. Sabi ko swimming na lang kami, hindi na umalma. Haha. So yes, I say "push" to posting these pics bago man lang ako ma-CS or magka-stretchmarks. One day I might (and I want to) give birth to a child.

 I only had goto when they all had 'silogs. Ganun talaga pag may minemaintain. =P

At dahil ako daw ang may pinakamaraming picture sa camera ni Elga, dapat daw ang title ng album eh "Raquel in Potipot". Ginatungan ko na lang ng "with friends" para di masabing pikon. Tinotoo nga ni Elga.

The bus left Zambales 11am (Monday) at ginawa ko ang lahat para 'wag ako malate sa office ng 9pm. Successful naman sana, may 1 hour pa ngang allowance. Kaso dahil itinulog ko ang lunch break ko, naoversleep naman ako dahil pagod, kaya late pa din. Hay buhay. 

Sulit trip! Buo ang summer ko!
