Inside My Mind

The rules are simple. List 20 things you want to say to 20 people but you know you never will. Don't say who they are.

1. I said I understood why. But I never really did.
2. I hate you. I miss you. I love you. I'm sorry.
3. You think you know but you have no idea.
4. This is not home.
5. There's this little corner in my heart that you'll own forever.
6. I laugh when you cry.
7. Get the fuck out of your closet!
8. Nothing was thrown. Nothing was deleted. I kept everything.
9. I hated you so much, I wished you were dead.
10. Please come back.
11. Where's your share? It's been five months.
12. When I said "I don't like you", I lied.
13. Who am I to you?
14. Know where your place is.
15. It was not someone else. It was you.
16. You are sooo pathetic.
17. Thank you but I already have one.
18. I was wrong and you were right all along.
19. You are the problem.
20. Are we possible?

Riding On Shooting Stars

I am not one who believes in Astrology. I don't think that the alignment of the stars and the planets, lightyears away from me, has any influence in shaping the events in my life. But when I stumbled upon Susan Miller's readings, my belief, or rather, my non-belief was seriously challenged and picked on.

"Lately you've been spending a lot of money, but there is some indication that you may have had little choice but to do so."

True. Birthdays could be really expensive. In less than 48 hours, a wad of one hundred peso bills in my wallet thinned out to a pale purple memory. In less than a week, my savings account was a humming panic of zeros! Hehe. Ok, that was a bit of a stretch. But you get the picture.

"A friend may unexpectedly announce that he's leaving your sphere, perhaps to move to a distant city. In this case, you will be sad to see this person go."

True. Not one but three persons have left my sphere. Friends have moved to a distant city. A distant country, even. They moved to a place where the grass grows greener (and the cows moo louder? Hehe.) And in all cases, I ended up shedding a tear or two. T_T (Aww.. sad. Nyaha!)

"With the move of Saturn out of your career sector, you will find that your hard work will be rewarded, if not this month, soon. Saturn always leaves a gift by the door as thanks for dealing with his rigors, and you will see proof of this almost immediately."

True. I just got myself promoted from DE1 to DE2. What a wonderful post birthday gift! Ahihihi. All the overtimes, all the sleepless nights, all the efforts, all the hardwork - none have gone unrewarded. Kudos! ^_^

I wonder what the stars have in store for me next month...

Funk That Shit

SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.

Can we ever put the pieces back together? Or will we just die trying?
Ugh. Talk about bringing the FUNK back in dysFUNKtional.

And The Song Plays On

Today is Ate Rochelle's last day in Tsukiden.

I woke up and 'twas the first thing that came to mind. Good thing I was texting Roxie at that time so I got to tell a living soul how sad I felt. In turn, she told me not to be sad coz we'll still be seeing each other anyway. But still, I couldn't help it. :(

Come 11am, we cranked up our messengers. Her status read "please remember... me". Told Roney, JP and Franz to PM her with "we will... :)". The plan was to simultaneously hit the enter key at the count of three. I think we did, but the lag time was pretty bad as usual. Her reaction was "Ang lakas mang-trip ah!" or something like that. I was a little saddened and a little pissed coz we really meant it, we will really remember her and we weren't just tripping. Oh well.

The afternoon briefing came and 'twas time for her to say her piece. I thought she'd simply say her "thank you's", but how wrong I was. She said a couple of things that hit home. Her voice even cracked at one point and Roney started to tear. I don't really cry in front of other people so, with all the strength I could muster, I swallowed hard and bit back my tears. Nyahaha. Andrama.

Nweiz, not having her around will surely be quite an adjustment for us. Usually, she's the one who strikes up the, to put it in her own words, "goofing around" at such crucial times making our overnights less dragging. Now I'm afraid that even the overtimes would be dragging. But I really hope I'm wrong. And as for me, since I entered VGS, we had six seating arrangements and I sat beside her for like four times. I heard her jokes, her stories, her laughter, and her music. And not hearing all of that starting next week would be really different and would take a lot of getting used to.

"Tsukiden has been my song for more than 3 years, with all of you serving as notes and lyrics. It will not be as melodious as this if not for you. As I start to sing a new song, Tsukiden will always linger in my mind... Wherever I go... Wherever I may be."

~o0o~

In other news, the CS department had a buffet dinner at Nagomi, which also served as our project's milestone-slash-kickoff party. The food wasn't great and it wasn't even an 'eat-all-you-can' buffet! Can you spell UNFAIR?! Amp. There goes our project's budget. Ugh.

Since we have declared this day as Chucks Day, our Chuck Taylor's took the spotlight after dinner.

Hahaha! What fun! ^_^

*Pictures to follow. Antagal iupload e. Hehe.

Kringle@22

I am 22 today. I have seen twenty-two years of LiFe. I have gained twenty-two years worth of experiences. Twenty-two years filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, victories and failures, laughter and tears, and all else in between.

There are a couple of things that I thought I would've achieved by now. A couple of things that I thought would be a little less cloudy. But I try not to think too much about it at the moment. Afterall, 22 is still very young and I still have a lot of years ahead of me. So what the hell. Haha.

I am 22 today. Twenty-two candles were blown. Twenty-two wishes were made. I am now a year older. Hopefully a year wiser. But that is yet to be seen. Hehehe. ;)

Thank you for all your well wishes, birthday greetings, and birthday presents. They are very much appreciated. I really had a blast in the office. Thank you very much for making me feel extra special. Ahihihi. The "family" celebration wasn't the same as before, though. But I'd rather not talk about that.

Oh well. This may not be the best birthday ever. But I'm smiling anyway.

Thank you all!!! ^_^

Wall In Love

There were no breathtaking views. No cool, clean air to greet us at the peak. There was no mountain to begin with. There was nothing. Nothing but a wall.

Supposedly, we were to meet 10am at Starbucks. I woke up a little past 9. Texted MJ that I would be late and that I'd just follow them there. In my rush to leave, I forgot to pack a pair of socks so I had to drop by SM Hypermarket first. I arrived at Starbucks a few minutes before 11. Nyaha.

The last time we went wall climbing, I told myself that next time, I'll no longer climb the straight wall and that I'll reserve all my energy climbing the inclined wall. But kuya insisted otherwise coz he had to teach Tin and Claire proper belaying. After resting for a long while and snapping a lot of photos, I once again attempted to climb the inclined wall. Sadly, I still failed to reach its peak. But I take pride at the fact that I reached approximately twice as high as my last attempt. Haha!

Come lunch time, we all agreed to get some takeout food from Taste Asia in Hypermarket. But Tin and I forgot all about it the moment we saw all these sizzling dishes. So while MJ got herself some takeout food, we absentmindedly ordered ourselves some spareribs and sisig - both served sizzlingly hot. Nyaha. Sorry, MJ! Our bad. Nweiz, I almost lost my wallet also. But thank God there are still some honest people left in this world. ^_^

When we got back, there were more people in the area - mostly Koreans and Pinoy kids. Almost all of them, especially the kids, reached the peak of the inclined wall with no sweat. Shame on me. Nyaha. So before they could crush the little spirit I had left (hehe), I firmly strapped myself into the harness and began my final ascend. On the straight wall, that is. Nyaha.

\m/(-_-)\m/
CLIMB ON!!!

Stuck In Reverse

We had a meeting a while ago, which I thought was just about our tasks and our much anticipated Baguio trip. Sure, we had those things settled but little did I know that neither was the meat of the meeting.

Not a week has passed since Ate Lotis left for Singapore. Now, Ate Rochelle announced that she would be tendering her resignation either tomorrow or on Monday. I was utterly taken aback by the onrush of events. Sure, I knew that this day would eventually come. But I really didn't expect it to be this soon. To say that the news made me sad is to put it mildly. Coz if truth be told, I am waaay beyond sad. Ugh! I dunno. First it was Tin and then Ate Lotis and now it's Ate Rochelle. Who's next? T_T

*Sigh* I will surely miss their company, the shared laughters, the kulitans, the playful arguments, the stories, the friday night gimmicks... I'll miss all of it. I'll miss all of them.

But just like what Ate Rochelle said, the friendship will not end the moment she steps out of the office (for good). Since she will not be leaving for another country, we could still carry on with the weekly nights of dining out. That is if our work schedules would allow it. Either way, I do hope that the ties that we've built as a team will not be made loose by the miles and miles of space between us. And I hope that I'm not just hoping against hope.

I just realized that for me, Tsukiden has become the wonderful workplace that it is not so much because of the work that I do, but mostly because of the wonderful people whom I work with, the people whom I spend 8 hours or more of my day with. And now that these people are slowly thinning out, I'm no longer quite sure if it's still worth staying. Scary thought.

On To Greener Pastures

In a short span of less than a month, four of my project mates have left the company for a better deal - a better life, even. Two of them came from our team.

:: Tin Concha. Even before Tin became a VGS member, I already had the chance to work with her back in our NGN days. We were even teammates then. But not for long coz I was transferred to VGS a month later. Needless to say, we didn't become good friends at that time. Not until she was transferred to our project and became my seatmate. Since then, she became a friend and a confidante to me. She's one of the few persons in the office whom I can openly talk to about anything without fear of prodding a raised eyebrow or a leering smile. She helped me come out of my whirlpool of negative and twisted thoughts, which pulls me down from time to time. She bore with me even at times when I'm being complacently foolish. Or at least she tried to. Hehe. She trusted me with her stories. And so did I.

:: Lotis Lira. They say that first impression lasts. But with Ate Lotis, I beg to disagree. When I first joined VGS, I really thought that she was the snobbish and cranky type of person. Uhm... Well... Ok, she can get a bit cranky at times but it's not something that I can't put up with. Funny thing is that she also thought that I was snobbish and cranky. When in fact I was just being my *ehem* usual shy self. Hehe. She was my immediate superior then and I really found it difficult, if not impossible, to approach her. I kinda felt like there was this unspoken tension between us. I dunno. Nweiz, whatever it was, I'm just sooo glad it died down and was eventually replaced not just with barrels of laughter and good times, but with friendship.

An awful lot of people have resigned before them. I've heard a lot of them say their goodbyes and I've seen them walk out the doors of Tsukiden. But when Tin and Ate Lotis left, not only did I see them leave, but I also felt them leave. Maybe because I got used to having them around and I got myself attached in a way. Too attached, actually. Haiii, nakakamiss. T_T

Franz: "Di ka kasi dapat maging attached sa mga ka-team mo..."

Point taken. Oh well. As Ate Rochelle put it, "It happens". We all got left and we're all gonna leave this company at one time or another. And someday, it'll be my turn...

The Great Wall

Boss Chris: "Averse personality yan si Kringle e..."

Well I put up a wall for a myriad of reasons. Mainly for protection - from other people, from my weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and from the cruelties of this world. But what they fail to realize is that the wall is not always there to keep people out. Sometimes, I just wanna know who cares enough to knock it down.

Under My Skin

I thought 'twas going to be a kick-ass night. Well, it was. Coz you kicked my ass. Even my face.

Being such a tease myself, I know how to take a sarcastic jab, let alone an effin' joke. They don't get to permeate my skin that easily. I don't allow them to. But it gets hard once personal issues come into play.

Franz: "Wag mo na lang pansinin yun..."

That's easy for you to say. But I can't. Try as I might, I can't. Her words were packed with a great deal of meaning and were indefatigably thrown at me like daggers. If words could kill, I would've been killed, buried, dug-up, and then killed again.

I cried not because I was hurt. I was, though, but seldom do I shed tears of pain. I cried because I was pissed off. And mind you, it was the last thing I wanted to feel. Especially now. I could've lashed out. I could've fought back. But I didn't. I didn't want to. So I cried... because there's no other way to let it out.

Tanjoubi Omedetou!

Today marks my blog's third birthday. This is the part where I should say that time has flown so quickly but I won't. Coz really it seems like a very long time since my first post. Ehe.

For three years now, I've been putting portions of my life out for public consumption. I've been writing, ranting, and raving about nothing and everything. Three years of self-expression and self-examination. Three years... and counting still.

With nothing more to say (or write, for that matter), picked out my top three blog entries. Why? Just because. Hehe. I thought of writing a short background about each, the reason why I wrote it and to whom it was addressed, but the words failed to escape me. So just read on if you want to. ^_^

1. Rain On Me (January 2005)
2. Shouldn't Couldn't Wouldn't (April 2006)
3. Silver Toes (June 2006)

Here's to many more wonderful years of blogging to come! ^_^

Keep It Mean And Green

Peeled myself off my bed at around *ehem* 5:30 in the morning. Hehe. Texted Boss Joseph about who would help him carry the cooler.

Boss Joseph: "Wow. You're early..."

Well, you can say that again. Hehe. Met up with Roxie and Boss Chris at 7-11. We arrived at the Meralco Gym a quarter before nine. As usual, there were but a few people already there. Even the Admin was nowhere in sight. Ha! Needless to say, the event started behind schedule.... again. Nyaha.

The invocation was given by JP followed by the Oath of Sportsmanship led by Ate Rochelle. Anton led us through a series of stretching exercises to flex our untapped muscles and awaken our sleepy bones.



Apparently, we preferred to stretch our facial muscles instead. Hehehe.



The games followed immediately after. Found myself in the women's basketball game and in the team relay. Thank goodness the basketball game wasn't as "physical" as last year's game. There were no sprained ankles, ugly bumps, colorful bruises, cat-claw scratches, dead toenails, or whatnot. Well, at least for our team. Hehe. Also, I was able to shoot most of my shots this time. I guess that's what happens when one plays under pressure. Nyaha.

A week or two before the game:
Ate Lotis: "Basta ipapasa ko sayo yung bola tapos i-shoot mo."
Me: "E pano kapag di ko na-shoot?"
Ate Lotis: "Susuntukin kita."
Me: "Nyaaah."

During the game:
Ate Lotis: "Kringle!!! I-shoot mo!!!"

Now when your boss commands you with more than just might, who are you to err?! Buti na lang nanalo kami or else I would've gotten myself a sweet punch in the gut. Nyaha. Nweiz, here are the game results:

---

::Basketball::
Men's - 1st place
Women's - 1st place

::Badminton::
Men's Doubles - 1st place
Women's Doubles - 2nd place
Mixed Doubles - 3rd place

::Arm Wrestling::
Male - 3rd place
Female - 2nd place

100-m dash - 4th place
50-m dash - 2nd place
Team Relay- 3rd place

Dodge Ball - 4th place

---

We may not have brought home the bacon for more than half of the games but still, kudos to all the players for putting up a good fight!



After the sportsfest was the Family day where the employees' kids played some parlor games. Though we are all a bunch of kids at heart, playing with papers and straws just doesn't tickle our fancies. So, what does? Hmm...

Simpsonized

"Spider Pig, Spider Pig. Does whatever a Spider Pig does. Can he swing from a web? No, he can't. He's a pig. Look ooouuut! He is Spider Pig!"

Watched The Simpsons Movie with Roxie and April. While it seemed like an extended version of a half-hour TV episode, 'twas everything I expected from the Springfield folks, and more! There were so many scenes that had me laughing silly. My favorite character, Ralph Wiggum, didn't get much exposure, though. But he was able to deliver one of the funniest lines in the movie. He was like, "I like men now" after seeing Bart's little doodle. Nyahaha. This has to be the best Simpsons movie... SO FAR! Hehe. Can't wait for the sequel! D'OH!

I already have a SouthPark version of me and now here goes a Simpsonized me:

Simpsonize yourself here.

Sweet Revenge

Just last year, we were the ones at the stage, exposing ouselves to ridicule and humiliation. But now, 'twas our turn to sit back, relax, and enjoy an animé-themed show.

The first group did a PBB-like presentation. Jonathan and Felix were quite revealing and daring in their dance showdown. Good thing I was already done with my dinner. Hehe. Can't quite remember where the story revolved or if there was a story at all. Though they did a pretty good job portraying Master Pogi and Astroboy. ^_^

The second group started their presentation with really (and I mean really, REALLY) corny jokes.



Yes, as in THAT corny. Nyaha. The punchlines were so "hard-hitting", I dunno whether I should laugh or cry! It is worth mentioning though that their Prince of Tennis stunt was very creatively done. I really enjoyed watching them make a fool outta themselves. Nyaha. ^_^

Mr. Saito and Mr. Watanabe did a surprise number, which wasn't really surprising coz 'twas mentioned in the emailed programme. Nyaah.

"Pinaputi ni Pepito and pitongpu't pitong puting putong patong-patong"

Mr. Watanabe won, albeit with a twisted tongue. Hehe. ^_^

The next group that performed seemed unpracticed. They just spewed a lot of nonsense for our amusement... or non-amusement. Ehe. Their presentation was more of a stand-up comedy routine, only we weren't laughing hard. And I still don't see the point of having the girls dance in silhouette. ...Or was I the only who missed the point?

The last group did the infamous Boy Bastos thing. The jokes were lame, and so was Boy Bastos. Guess he didn't eat his vegetables lately, did he? Hehe. They also had a "Da Who?" segment, which for me was waaay overboard and inappropriate to begin with. I think they are a little too insolent for a "newbie". Oh well.

Revenge never tasted this good. Hehehe. ^_^

Separate Lives

We've all been dealing with a lot lately. Little things, big things, that slowly brought this family into shambles.

When I got home, my mom told me that we're moving to my lola's place as soon as possible. Oh-kay, thanks for the news flash. So what am I to do now? I dunno. I mean, I knew it was over. I just kept hoping that it wouldn't reach that point but it had. That they would still try to stick it through but they didn't.

Well, if they both need some time away from each other. If they think this will be for the better. If this is what they want. Then so be it.

So be it.

"If this is what he wants
And it's what she wants
Then why is there so much pain?"

Spare Me

The bowling tournament was once again held at the Coronado Lanes in StarMall. Since the games were not to begin yet, Roxie, Borj and I walked through the mall looking for a place to eat. We ended up eating lugaw at the food court. I wasn't able to finish my bowl coz I've poured too much fish sauce into it. Ehe. Just a thought: What's the difference between goto, lugaw and arroz caldo??? Oh well.

When we got back, the tournament was about to start. There were no practice games for me so no wonder my first ball went straight down the gutter. Nyaha. Last year, I was able to throw a strike. But this year, I wasn't able to pull one off though I had a couple of spare shots. I think I threw more gutterballs also! And I wasn't able to top my personal best of 70 points! ARGH!

We were about to go home when Blessy approached me. She told me that we were down by a single point and that we could've gone to the finals. If only. Huhu.

I suck. x_x

Grande Island

I had last minute second thoughts about joining this huling-hirit summer getaway. My mom was diagnosed with diabetes and a cyst was found on one of her ovaries. I had to help with the medical expenses and I was practically running short of cash. But thanks to friends, my 50% down payment wasn't put to waste and I was still able to take this much needed break. ^_^

Met up with Gary at Ministop, Galleria at around 6:30am. Ercia told us not to be late. Seriously? SERIOUSLY. Well, we waited for them for an hour or two. 'Twas because of Charlie, I think. Seriously? SERIOUSLY. Hehe. Nweiz, because of the delay, we were caught up in traffic. But traffic jams are not that bad for friends who haven't seen each other in a while...

Finally arrived at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and had a quick stop over to answer nature's call. We reached the Ferry terminal and took more pictures as we waited for the next trip. After an hour, we boarded the ferry boat going to Grande Island Resort. Lucky us, we were able to occupy a table inside where we sat comfortably for the rest of the ride.

The receiving area was kinda crowded for there were about three companies having their company outing. But we were in a grand island so what the hell. Checked out the rooms first...

Then, we had our buffet lunch. It wasn't that good, maybe because we're already late. Actually, I barely remember what I had for lunch. All I can recall is the salad. And that's just because of these pictures...

After lunch, we all retreated into our rooms to rest for a while. Roxie and I were very disgusted because the toilet was a complete mess after Arnie used it. There were McArthurs in the bowl and pee on the floor. *Barf* Oops! There goes my lunch. >_< Guys, I have one question - Is it really that difficult to aim your pee???

Nweiz, we spent the afternoon using the coupons, which were part of the package. There were a lot of choices for the Water Adventure - Banana Boat, Flying Fish, Chariot, Stingray - just to name a few. We first rode the famous Banana Boat. Then, we tried another ride called Chariot, which was a lot more thrilling. Next summer, I wish I get to do parasailing naman. Hehe.

Another coupon entitled us to play badminton and volleyball. I'm not a big volleyball fan coz whenever I play the sport, my arms get peppered with bruises. Nyaha. After the game, we stayed near the side beach to take some pictures 'til sunset.

We then had another buffet meal for our dinner. This time, the food was better. Also, there was this cultural show enjoyed by the foreigners and locals alike.

After dinner, we went night swimming in the pool. I saw three falling stars. Gary confessed something that shocked us all. Hehe. Too bad there was a curfew policy for the pool so we had no choice but to call it a night. Bleh.

Roxie and I weren't able to sleep well that night. We were bombarded with unbelievably loud snores that could put a foghorn to shame. I guess that explains why I can't seem to bring myself to smile in these pictures...

We then had our buffet breakfast. After eating, we had some sort of nature trip walking the trails and exploring the woods. For some reason, there were umpteen million dead frogs on the road. God, I miss the experience. Wah! I wanna hike again!

Went back to our rooms to prepare to leave. After we checked out, we stayed for more camera whoring. Hehe.

On our way home, we dropped by Duty Free to do a little chocolate shopping. We then stopped by the recycled house featured in Rated K. The gate was made of gas tanks of all sizes and the umbrellas were made out of scrap metals. How cool is that?

Then, we grabbed a bite to eat at Razon's. Their heavenly halo-halo never failed to tickle my taste buds. Yum! ^_^

Goodbye, Summer!

Feel Me In

JP: "Wala naisip ko lang. Kung ganon ka ka-expressive sa blog mo, bakit in person hindi naman?"

Well, I don't talk a lot about feelings and emotions (so I am told). Sure, I speak my mind but seldom do I speak my heart. Why? Let me count the reasons.

One, I find it easier to express my emotions in writing. Coz there isn't much to worry about when I write. No need to worry about dodging questions that I don't wanna answer. No need to worry about being disappointed for not getting the response that I expect. And I need not worry about keeping people interested on what I have to say. If they don't like what I write or if they don't find me interesting, they can easily click me off their screens for all I care.

Two, there are times when I feel like plain spoken words aren't enough to convey the emotions that I hold in me. That they're not as powerful. When I share how I feel, making it known to another person ain't good enough for me. When I share how I feel, I want the other person to know the emotion, understand it, and feel its intensity (if not the emotion itself). And I think only through the use of written words can I breathe life into each faceless emotion effectively.

Three, I gain much satisfaction from expressing myself creatively through writing. I play with words like a kid playing with his brand-spankin' shiny new toy - filled with a devil-may-care joy and gusto, overflowing with so much energy and enthusiasm.

Words are my toys. And this blog is my playground.

Vertical Thrill

Went wall climbing with Roxie, MJ, Simon, Julius, and Marlyn at Power-Up, Silver City. Gerard, one of the instructors, first taught us how to do proper belaying, climbing, and basic equipment handling. To avoid any accidents, he told us that the communication between the climber and the belayer must be clear.

Before climbing, the climber should tell the belayer that he is ready to climb,

Climber: "Climbing!"

The belayer should then confirm that he is aware of the climb and is now ready to secure the climber,

Belayer: "Climb on!"

While the climber is up against the wall, he can make any of the following calls depending on his need:

If the climber needs the security of a tighter rope,

Climber: "Tension!"

If the rope is too tight, and the climber needs the belayer to loosen it off a bit,

Climber: "Slack!"

When the climber is already on top, as the saying goes, the only way to go is down. But before he could go down the wall, he should first inform the belayer of his descend,

Climber: "Down!"

Then, the belayer should pull any remaining slack to ensure that the climber won't fall. Once done,

Belayer: "Let go!"

Apparently, all the climbing commands are straightforward and are very easy to remember. Using them would be as easy as ABC - or so we thought.

Roxie as Climber: "Climb on!"
Me as Belayer: "Climbing!"
Gerard: "Baliktad!!!"

Roxie: "Aray! Ang sakit! Ang sakit!"
Gerard: "Anong sabi mo?"
Roxie: "Slack! Slack! Slaaack!!!"

Me: "Pagod na ko! Bababa na ko..."
MJ: "Down?"
Me: "Oo, down na!"
MJ: "Let go!"
Me: "Promise?"
MJ: "Oo!"
Me: "Talaga?"

Hahaha! ^_^ After climbing the beginner's wall a couple of times, we decided to try a more challenging wall - one that was slightly angled. I clenched and clawed and laughed my way up the wall without much agility and success. I found it difficult to sustain a strong grip on the hand holds. Guess it goes to show how heavy I am. Ehe. I don't think I got higher than six feet when I slipped. Argh!

MJ climbed the angled wall with so much ease and grace. She was almost able to reach the top of the wall. Galing! No wonder Spidey fell in love with her! ;)

Hehehe. ^_^

And what better way to end this day than to watch Spiderman 3?!
