yey! runong na ko mag bike...

yes! yes! yes!...i really truly believe that if things are meant to happen, even however long it takes, if it is meant to be, against all odds man, harangan man ng sibat, kung para sa iyo, para s'yo.

ano ba itong mga pinagsasasabi ko? well, marunong na akong mag bike!!!! yey! as dorky as it sounds, yes, ngayon lang ako natuto. kung sa iba natural na lang ang pag-ba-bike, well not for me. first i dont like bike kasi di ako nabilihan nung bata ako, tapos masakit sa singit, and nahihiya ako lumabas ng house para mag-aral. but my late lolo polding tried to taught me how to bike, but all his efforts and broken eardrums(sa katitili ko)were put to waste kasi super dummie talaga ako nun. and after so many years, tinigilan ko na ang mangarap about bike. sa panaginip ko na lang na-e-experience ang humarurot sa bike. till.............

TODAY! may 16, 2007. 6pm at earth field .

since it is our (jayson) exercise routine to do our cardio workout in an open space, we'd go there at 5pm and run for 1hr, well power walking and running naman. hindi naman kasi kami masyadong carreer. so, cool down na kami, suddenly there came two boys in a cute bike. jayson was like...
json pogi : mhi, bike tayo oh, turuan kita, kausapin kaya natin yung mga bata tapos rentahan natin bike nila.

denishabeybeh : sige, "bata, gusto nyo magkapera? rent namin bike nyo. wait nyo lang kami dito. "

batang maitim & mataba(di ko na kasi inalam names nila) : (nag-isip pa muna, pakipot, pero kilig inside) sige.

batang payat na malnourished : sige, boss, tingnan nyo nalang yung isa kasi baka makalag yung kadena....

kinikilig ako, makakasakay na ko ng bike. di nako nahihiya kasi kami lang naman yung nasa subdivision kung sakaling tumaob man ako. di bah?

so, papadyak-padyak lang muna habang tinutulak ako ng hangin and while si jayson ay nasa tabi ko lang. he would say "mhi, kaya mo yan, padyak padyak lang tapos balance tapos tingin sa malayo, tapos break pag malalaglag ka na".

so ako naman, para bang kakampi ko ang tadhana sa oras na iyon, habang binubulungan ako ng hangin at nadidinig ko ang kabadong boses ni jayson, di ko na napansin na umaandar na pala ako. padyak....balance....tingin sa bundok at mga ulap.....langhap ng hanging sariwa...with jayson following me....YEHEY!!!!!MARUNONG NA AKONG MAG-BIKE!!!!

it does'nt take to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. i dont know how to describe the feeling of learning finally the thing you wanted for the long time. dati pa angkas angkas lang ako sa likod, ngayon marunong na ako. di ko na kailangan maki-angkas sa kahit kanino. haaaayyyy amg sarap ng feeling. super perfect! and the experience wont be as exciting as it was if jayson were'nt there. sabi nga nya bibili nya na ko ng bike. sabi ko yung cute na may basket sa unahan. i did'nt know why i requested for that, wala lang, para girlie siguro.

so, binalik na namin yung bike nung dalawang bata. pagkakataon nga naman ano? malay ba nilang magkakapera sila sa pagliko nila sa earthfield. at malay ko din bang matututo na ko mag-bike. for pete's sake, am 27 y/o na. but what the heck, its never too late di ba?

feels like heaven!

Glamour glamour!!!

kulot? sige, para sa mahal kong kaibigang si Et. My bride friend and now Mrs. Agustin...finally. i love you mare.

okay ba? i mean, bagay ba? I've never been to salon for a hair and make up total make-over, except for a regular hot oils and hair cut. so this is first for me.

So, sa ngalan ng pagpapaganda kadikit na nito ang dusa. bakit? eh ten am palang nasa salon na kami sa baba ng Sofitel doing the excruciating process of glamorization. and i tell you, it's not glamorous. it's not like my everyday routine of powder then blush then gloss(when the mood strikes), pag may occasion may eye shadow pa but normally am ready to put on a show my "not pangbahay" na itsura.

Sa tagal inaantok ako, especially when they're doing my hair, curling it...eh ang haba, kahit ba manipis hair ko noh, ang tagal kaya. Super naiinip ako. i felt like trapped, because claustrophobically speaking am a little uncomfy when am confined to wait and not do a thing. gusto ko may participation ako. Kaya madalas ako magsisi pag magpapa hot-oil ako kasi at the middle of the process..."naku bakit na ako nagpahot-oil pa?" parang ang tagal ng 30 minutes... so going back...

habang nakasalang ang buhok ko sa curling iron, na umuusok-usok pa, at nangangamoy na inihaw na buhok na, gusto ko na ipahinto. Natakot ako! Eh wala nako magagawa, nasimulan na eh. Gusto ko na umiyak! Iniisip ko na lang...denden gaganda ka(100x)...then after saying it 200x, sa wakas natapos din. Kala nyo tapos na? Make-up pa!

Foundation application - 10 mins (dalawang shade pa, kung bakit, di ko na inalam!)
eye shadow - 15 mins yata, feeling ko ang daming nilagay, pagdilat ko, nyeh! un lang? shades of yellow, brown and orange, motif ni Et.
eye brow - Dang, inahit ang kilay ko. di daw kasi pantay and masyadong makapal. huhuhuhu. ang taray tuloy ng itsura ko.
blush - manipis na pahid lang...nagtitipid
lip color - loreal ...something...pearl shine..

tapos nilagay na sa hair ko yung headdress na pagka-cute cute!

so after almost 3 hours under the hands of the professionals....jararannnn.."hello, ako po si Denishebeybeh, ang super Sireyna ng Bataan!"...i looked different!

Shocked ako!
it wasnt me at all!
Nalungkot ako!
Ayaw ko magpakita kay Jayson who's excitedly waiting na makita na maayusan ako!
Am extermely weary on how my friends gonna see and react on my new face.
It's like, Oh God, give me strength to face my fears...hehe.

1st base - back at the hotel room. someone said, "Denise nag-iba ang muka mo." strike one!
2nd base - i texted Jayson to see me outside the room. He was all smile naman pero nung palapit na sya he was studying my face, siguro on "what's happened?"His face brightened and said "you look so pretty, ang nipis ng kilay mo". Strike 2!! naman!!
3rd base - on our way down sa garden for pictorial, Joseph was smilling and said something like "si Denise pala yun, kanina pa ako kinakawayan, di ko nakilala, kulot kasi"...naku gusto ko suntukin si Joseph. Talaga namn! Strike 3!!

So, am OUT!

i was thingking, sulit ba yung 2T na fee for hair and make-up?
it was like, i went there as a clean canvas hoping for a clear-enhanced me but ended up totally looking different. i was a bit low.

So, ma-eenjoy ko ba ang araw na ito looking not-so-me?
And suddenly, may nag snap sa aking isip? "hey where's the fun in you?"
CONFIDENCE girl, CONFIDENCE!!!!
YUp, why not. That's my best accessory ever!

Tapos, little by little, i began to play whats on my face. Ganda naman pala ng hair ko! Kulot nga eh. Maiba naman sa straight na boring. And the make up am dreading about, little by little too, am getting to love it! Siguro, nabigla lang talaga ako.

The rest of the night, i was possessed by this new persona. Oh, i love myself. And i thought, it's not the amount of make-up put on you that makes you feel beautiful. It's what's inside that will carry you whenever you go. And to think that models are the most insecure person in the world..well, says Tyra Banks, not me, coz am not one. hehe. But you get me right?

So, next time na magpapaparlor ulit ako?....hmmmm...definetely looking forward to it! Aba! ang sarap din naman ng feeling mo pampered ka. Glamour glamour ang drama mo! Di bah? Artista!

Laptop from Jayson

Am a self-confessed generous giver. Am not kuripot. kahit kailan. May it be with ny family or friends. At syempre lalong lalo na sa love ko. But i've never met anyone who's as generous as Jayson. Sa wakas may katapat na ako. Un naman talaga ang prayer ko, "Lord give me someone na hindi lang basta magmamahal sa akin, Gusto ko talaga giver." And God with his abundant reply gave me Jayson just right on time. Haaay pag si Lord sumagot di ka mabibitin. He gave me exactly what i've asked for and whom i truly deserve. Jayson is already a gift. I consider him the "best of the best".
Eto ang the best part...hehe...for Christmas he gave me a laptop. Beat that.....He would always say na i deserve all the grand and beautiful things in this world. syempre agree naman ako agad. 'Bring it on baby'...Ang sarap sarap tuloy mga Christmas...Kung ganyan ba ng ganyan e.

Thanks to my friend Shona

Ever since college Shona has opened me to a lot of things i never dared do. Actually am well aware to some of those things already, but she's the one who pushed me into them. Like bar gimmiks. Am not a big gimikera, coz my momma attached a very negative conotation about staying up late and drinking a few bottles of "spirit freeing" beer, well aside from the fact na promdi ako. But with Shona, it's always about just having fun. Shona is FUN! It's her middle name actually.After class, i'd find her already at Gilligans. Having a regular intake of appetizer and a mug of beer. Tapos tawa na ng tawa yan. Madidinig ko nalang may tumatawag na sa pangalan ko. Di ko pa natanggihan yan, basta sya umaya sa akin. Pag di ko na maubos beer ko - she's very sensitive naman pag naduduwal nako sa beer- she would asure me that she'll finish what's left of me. And pag nahimasmasan na kami, hanap na kami ng coffe shop. Magpapakalasing naman kami sa kape. Haaaaayyy' yan si Shona. Anyway, she's the reason kaya blogger nako. Am a big babbler, wala lang mapaglagyan. Thanks to Shona am putting it into good use. So, kapatid magkikita na tayo palagi sa BLOG.
