Hindi ko pa pala kinukwento yung DJ thing! Anyways i was baking last sunday and i usually listen to 89.9 while i bake. Then i heard the DJs inviting people to help them introduce songs sa final countdown so i decided to text in na rin. I mean what's there to lose right? But i never really thought they'd call me up or something since i bet there were hundreds who wanted to be heard on air din. I remember Ela telling me that she joined something like this rin.. so anyway i was doind crinkles at that time yata and i really wasn't expecting anything anymore i almost forgot about it na nga. But then the phone rings and my sis hands it to me, it was Miles! She was like, "So grace, wanna be a DJ?" "Yup" "Let me here your introduction" Oh my gosh! I mean i really thought they'd give me a script or something and i'd just write it down and read it over the phone! I'm really bad at impromptu things so i was like fumbling with the words, i was really really nervous! But i guess Miles was used to it so she just told me to write it down so i wouldn't forget my lines and i should try to sound happy daw kc i seemed sad hehe. I was supposed to introduce the number eight song in the countdown which was Matchbox 20's Disease. I was so nervous in trying to prepare my spiel that i forgot to tell anybody about it! Awww,.I told my mom to tune down the radio then close it altogether coz i didn't want her to hear me heheh shy ako! So my turn came and they tried to relax me a bit by asking me stuff and chatting about how i spent my Christmas. Well, i spent it with Oli so we talked about things like how long have we been together, you know stuff like that then after like one minute or so i introduced the song na. Joey and Miles sounded so happy on the air, i wonder if i did too hehe. I guess i'll never know!

i just came home from a reunion..which means lots and lots of food! This is so bad i am seriously getting fat! My mom and i went to nafnaf kanina and i bought a red top! Half yipee and half not coz althought i got a new top, it's a size bigger than what i usually buy! BOOHOO! Kasya pa naman ung size 0 sa akin pero masikip na so i just opted for a size 1 so i'd have something immediate to wear. This just validates that i have added poundage over the christmas break boohoo! Even my dad said that my arms got big! heheh i promise that is shall start working out again by January 2! I hope i keep this resolution coz initially i told myself that i should have gone back to my normal size by Jan 3 since oli will be having a reunion with his classmates but i don't think it's possible! hehe It's just so hard to control these days! Mel's Tina Juan Book has been telling me to lose weight but it's hardly working at all without my personal conviction to do so hehe
Promise na talaga i shall start when 2003 comes around! Happy New Year!

Hi, i finished cutting tags na so i can blab away some more.. wala lang i'm quite happy these days, it seems kc that things are getting back to normal or better at least since i'm spending more time with oli. But hmmm. i think this myt be short-lived lang kc it would probabaly be different again when school starts! oh well, i'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts!
Oli bought me two belts and a perfume when we watched Lord of the Rings last saturday! We also watched Big fat greek wedding, it was totally hilarious! I like LOTR rin, it's funny, exciting, and action-packed at the same time! Again, i don't like the ring that much but it's kinda affecting me i hope not...hehehe
I think i better sleep now, we're leaving for g4 at 9am tom and i have to wake up at 8am to fix up! I shall sleep now or i'll look like a fat raccoon! Nytie

I just finished baking! It's the 24th tomorrow and it seems that since saturday, i've been with going out or hanging out with oli and that includes tomorrow and christmas day! wow instant quality time together. i guess that makes up for the "space" we had for the past month. hehe it made us realize and appreciate lots of stuff regarding our relationship talaga and i feel that if rough times come along again we're more prepared and stronger to overcome such obstacles! naks! hehe
A whle ago, mel oli and i watched the ring and i was really scared at first but was not as scared as i expected myself to be at the climax of the movie..but that doesn't matter because i think Sadako has invaded my imagination or subliminal eeek! anyways, we played billiards din before the movie and somehow i am quite interested with the game itself. Oli and i played rin nung sunday. I thought it was kinda boring but accompanied oli na rin since he was itching to play, but to my amazement, i really liked it! hehe i guess one factor is because i was able to win seven times! When you're winning, you wanna play more and win more! So tomorrow, we're going to g4 to watch die another day and play billiards again, upon my request! Hehe i'm getting addicted to this,,,, k gotta go and cut some more tags, my mom's still packing the baked goodies! This is turning out to be a wonderful christmas season! Give love on christmas day....

I'm finally home! It's tiring to travel din pala kahit na i just went to the supermarket.hehe. Awww, i regret not being able to attend the 2BU party with mel! She's gonna model Levi's Jeans, isnt' that sooo cool?! Wolw! sayang talaga i have to bake pa kc huhuhu. Oh well, i hope she puts pictures in her blog.
So Mel and I sat in and took the theo quiz at dacanay's 230 class and just as i dreaded, i didn't get the answer! Aargh, i don't know what to think--whether it was worth staying around or not. One good point would be that at least, Fr. Dacanay saw us and he wouldn't think that we cut on purpose when he kept repeating over the week not to be absent today. The downside would be that since 0 na rin ako, i shouldn't have waited, but actually feeling ko parang ok na rin na we waited. I don't know why, can't explain i just feel it. hehe
Grabe, i just realized now that i become so tall when i wear my 4 inch heels duh! Kasi diba i met whang and he was kinda surprised that i was so tall kanina kc las wed when he went to my house i was just wearing slippers and i was the one who was surprised that he was a lot taller than i was! siguro mga 3-4 inches ung tangkad pala nya sa akin weird. Iba pala talaga and perspective from above and below hahaha joke! Oh ya and adding to that, i met 2 friends kanina sa gale and they seemed so short which again is explained by my super high heels.. Pero if i'm with oli, i never feel that i'm super tall naman e kahit na he's shorter when i wear heels. I guess it's in the presence,naks! hehehe
I guess i have to bake na...i just logged on to check my mail, if my friend from US has replied to my mail na. Ayan cge byeee

I am so saaaaad...... i was really looking forward to going out today to watch a movie with my friends..but then it seems that the odds were against it... i woke up quite early actually kc kirsten, my boyfriend's sister texted me asking about the stuff i was gonna let her bring to school. It turns out that exhaustion got the better part of my mom and she forgot to tell the driver to bring the stuff--goodies--to oli's house. Well, i was of course really annoyed but things worked out naman. Nahabol pa rin ung mga goodies. Then i texted mel and angela then i think i dozed off. I remember cancelling my alarm of 830 coz i said i'll sleep for 10 minutes. more. Turns out that i slept for 45 minutes more! aaargh i kinda hurried but we were going out so i still had to select something nice to wear. BOOHOO I guess i shouldn't have kc now im here in school and we're not gonna watch the ring! BOOHOO We have to wait for the teacher's 2:30 class in order to take the test. argh friggin test! Argh which reminds me that if our first paper was passed on time then we wouldn't have to stay for a stupid quiz pa cguro. huhuhuhuhu Actually i feel bad enought to throw caution to the wind and not take the test, i want to watch a movie and ahve fun! But mel has missed some quizzes na and it's so selfish of me naman to impose on her, right? It's the right thing to do rin naman, i shoud set my priorities straight--studies first before fun. Well, if it's any consolation, we're gonna watch on Monday. Tomorrow, i'll be going out with oli--it's our 3 years and 9 month anniversary! Wow! We're gonna watch Lord of the Rings and use that free Max's Chicken Dinner for Two certificate that i won during the bazaar at Forbes. Jouissance.
Hey it's so nice that friends give you gifts and to think i don't have gifts for them yet! hehe cliff gave me a complete guide to baking book! Mel gave me Taste-Berry Stories for the Heart book! Ann gave me a radio/flashlight! hehe and Cathy gave me a dice necklace!
I met up with Whang kanina and gave him his order, gave him revel bars rin. Kind of my Christmas gift to him for being nice to me and for being there for me when i desperately needed someone to talk to. Well, i hope he doesn't get big headed about it and say that, "Hey Grace gave me a box of revel bars for Christmas" Like as if sinusuhulan ko sya or something. I really hope not coz he's such a nice person sans that air....
AArgh i'm sad i again, i wonder what i can do to cheer myself up. Feeling ko nga babagsak din ako sa test later or something. Di ko rin naman binasa. huhuhuhuhuhu
Magbabake pa uli ako later.sigh. Sad. Huhu. Sad, HuHu, pathetic!
So what am i gonna do now? eWAN i'll post this first before it gets lost in cyberspace.

Let the Stars Reveal Your Mr. Right
Your results are based on the four Elements of Astrology: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each Element has its own set of characteristics, and each of us displays some combination thereof, usually with a focus on one or two. Which Elements most strongly influence you?
Note: Scores are rounded to one decimal place and therefore may not total 100%

YOU SCORED 60% AIR
In romance, you're drawn to the qualities of an Air Sign. You're turned on by a man's intellect and sense of humor more than his net worth or fine physique. You desire a mate who will match you wit for wit and keep you up all night talking. Air Signs prefer to keep things light and even, so if you want love that's playful, you might be most turned on by a Gemini, a Libra or an Aquarius mate. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.


YOU SCORED 20% EARTH
In romance, you lean toward qualities exhibited by Earth Signs. You're turned on by affluence and opulence. While you crave status and security, you also want a man with a sensual streak as strong as his stock portfolio. You like to take things slowly and make informed decisions, so you may find a Taurus, a Virgo or a Capricorn lover to be the sexiest match for you. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.


YOU SCORED 10% FIRE
In romance, you're drawn to the qualities of a Fire Sign mate, someone ambitious, ardent and active. You don't like hesitant men -- you like a guy who'll take a chance and make the first move.

THE DOG (ME) and the PIG (OLI!)
The Dog and the Pig can make a grand match, due to their mutually sunny demeanors and good intentions. The Dog sometimes slips into a testy mood and needs to spend some time alone to recuperate, but the Pig is an affable Sign that generally tries to let others live as they please, so the Dog's moods shouldn't be much of a problem. The Pig sometimes allows itself to be taken advantage of, in fact, due to its urge to please; that isn't likely to be a problem with the Dog, since the Dog is an honorable, trustworthy Sign that holds itself to high standards of conduct.

As lovers these two could get along very well. The Pig is a sensualist who delights in creature comforts: good food, lovemaking, long baths and naps ... While the Dog generally possesses higher energy and a more adventurous spirit than the Pig, it will delight in how well-loved it feels in the Pig's hands. Both these Signs place great importance on home and family; they will connect on those levels. There may be problems between these two as a result of their differing energy levels, but the Pig's good nature and the Dog's powers of diplomacy can work together to smooth over almost any problem. Also, the Dog in love is very protective of its mate, which the Pig will greatly appreciate.

If these two are in business together the Dog may make the most natural front person, with that high energy and diplomatic spirit; the Pig is a hard worker and takes direction well, so can serve as the Dog's right-hand man, so to speak. The Dog is a hard worker as well, especially when interested in the work, so these two would do well to choose a business that allows the Dog to take plenty of business trips. The Pig's stable nature will greatly enhance the company, as will the Dog's honesty.

The Dog and the Pig share a compatibility of seven, on a scale of one to ten. Click here to see other Signs' compatibility ratings! Also, it's important to remember that each year is associated not only with a Chinese Sign but also with one of the Chinese Elements -- Metal, Water, Wood, Fire or Earth. That means there's Metal Dogs, Water Dogs, Fire Pigs, Earth Pigs ... Find your Element as well as your Sign and see how your Element affects your Animal nature.

OLI'S NUMEROLOGY...
Your Number is 11
There are three double-digit numbers, referred to as the master numbers, in Numerology, the first of which is the number Eleven. As the number Eleven can be reduced to Two by adding the two digits (one plus one is two), we can think of Eleven as a more intense, more powerful number Two. Where the Two is peaceful, artistic and stylish, Eleven takes art and style to their far reaches. If you are an Eleven, you are likely to be a true visionary. Your avant garde tastes may lead you to an interest in the occult, including astrology, psychic communication and so on. Others find you a stimulating, interesting companion because you are full of fascinating perceptions and theories. Indeed, with your special brand of natural intuition, you are tuned in to the higher truths of the Universe.
Others may look to you for guidance, for they recognize your combination of intelligence and idealism; you truly stand out due to your innovative, progressive thoughts. You may be a great humanitarian or some sort of political activist or theorist, because your idealism is tempered by good, solid common sense. You are not so much meant to be a leader of people, however, but more a leading mind. It is your destiny to influence the minds of others, to open them to new concepts.

You may also achieve this through your artwork. Creative expression is of great importance in your life and, even if you do not pursue art as a profession, it will figure largely for you all your life. Perhaps you will be a painter or writer 'on the side', or at least you will surround yourself with the works of art and literature that you love, that inspire you and feed your higher mind
Take care that your energy is not blocked for prolonged periods, because as much positivity as you are capable of as an Eleven, when depressed or angry, you can also possess much potential for negativity. When depressed, you may lose sight of your spiritual learnings and become thoughtless and materialistic, though normally you can’t be bothered by material concerns. Pessimism may settle in, resulting in feelings of loss and disappointment. If you find yourself feeling or behaving these ways, it is important that you take a close look at your life to see what has gone off-balance.

Since you tend to give more to others than you take from them, you make a wonderful friend, lover and parent. In romance, find a partner who is on your same 'wavelength'; when paired with someone who embraces your visionary side, you can create an incredibly nurturing home life for yourself, your partner and your family.

A true Eleven should choose creative expression as a life path. Whether that means becoming an artist, an inventor, a teacher, a scientist or anything else is up to you: You have the vision to make nearly any profession one that improves the status quo and contributes to the greater good.

Your Number is 3
If you’re a Three, you are a born communicator, a positive, optimistic and highly self-expressive person. Three is the number of entertainers: Your love of people and fun and your gift of expression all lend themselves to artistic or musical pursuits. You tend to be a happy person and others are drawn to your bubbly nature. Thus, you are the life of any party and can often be found at the center of a group, making others laugh with your sharp wit and naturally well-honed instincts.

You also have a deeply intelligent and perceptive side, which can combine with your gift of self-expression to make you an artist, musician or writer of the highest caliber. You know how to 'read' your audience and respond accordingly. Your skills of perception also make you a great friend: You know what others are thinking and feeling and can therefore communicate with your loved ones on a deep, almost intuitive level. For this reason, you make a wonderful friend, lover and housemate -- as long as your natural energy is allowed to flow freely

If your natural energy and love of freedom are for some reason oppressed, you may become restless and argumentative. Even on your best days, you find it difficult to accept responsibility; you may have trouble taking orders from others or finding inspiration in a routine lifestyle. If you are in a restrictive relationship or have a job that requires you to perform mundane, repetitive tasks, you are unlikely to find yourself able to stay settled and focused for long. Your artist’s soul tends toward escapism when life gets too overwhelming; rather than facing your troubles down, you may find yourself running away from the person, job or relationship that is stifling you.

In general, however, you are quite a resilient person who can bounce right back from life’s troubles. You bring sunshine with you wherever you go and must try to surround yourself with other people who do the same. Close relationships with overly dictatorial, needy or depressive people are sure to block your energy. Find a partner who provides you with some stability but also allows you the freedom to be yourself, to come and go as you please, to follow your dreams wherever they may lead you.

Generally speaking, office jobs aren’t for you -- they tend to be too restrictive of your burgeoning creativity and individuality. Find a profession that allows you plenty of autonomy and room to grow, personally and creatively. You have a natural linguistic ability and so could be a great writer or editor; your love of expression, words and ideas could also lend itself well to a career as an actor or talk show host. You could also be a great musician, dancer, painter, interior decorator or another type of artist. Whatever you decide to do, it is likely to make others happy -- you are a true 'people person' who lights up the room as soon as you enter it.

I was reading my previous entry and apparently oli's insights have been put to waste!!1? Why you ask? Because one of our theo groupmates was not able to submit our paper on time! He even submitted it at the wrong place! I mean i understand that he's busy and all with the rep thing and for all i know he might have personal problems but hello, please don't volunteer if know that you might not be able to accomplish the task! We are six in the group and we all got Fs because of that! Is that fair? HELL NO! I can't believe i got an F and i wasn't even responsible for it. It really ticks me off and of course Oli got more ticked off he said he wanted to strangle the person when he sees him.
I was still in great shock yesterday, but i know after the new year that F will always haunt me because that'll be the time when i'm trying to cram and pull up my grades. aaargh! Hey we were supposed to get a 2.5 That's pretty ok na compared to a 0! now we have to get an A para makabawi.
Our next paper is due on Wed and you can be sure that we'll be the one submitting it, on time and at the right place. Grabe talaga. Mel wants to kick him out, ako i'm not sure yet pero now parang gusto ko na rin. Well, i guess we have to give him another chance. Pero nakakainis talaga sya sooooooooper grabe!!!!

i just came from green hills and i feel weird! parang you wana pee na hindi na excited ka over something pero hindi mo alam kung ano..ganun ka weird.... ??? Feeling ko parang ang complex ng buhay ko parang andaming nangyayaring hindi ko inaasahan but then i guess that's how life is supposed to be..complex and confusing. Mel and I went to Booksale kanina ang i bought this book about appreciating the litte, simple, common things in life. Those things that we often neglect or overlook, things that we take for granted. Seeing the book reminded me of another philo class and also ambeth's history class. Even though frustrating makinig kay dr. garcia, the topic he's discussing makes sense naman so i suggest that we all read the book! hahaha and ask the assistants about the lesson na lang hehe baaaad! oh well..

I wanna post oli's thoughts about the topic of my first boyfriend should be my husband there are some parts from me mixed inside rin..

I won't deny that this idea has crossed my mind a lot of times, but I never did stop to think where this idea came from. I believe that man has this natural craving to be appreciated and to gain recognition, which is why man desires to be successful. Somehow, in our society, when a person understands something or is successful at something he does over the first try, it is considered a bigger achievement than getting it during a second try. Somehow, doing well during the first try is given more weight and meaning. When a girl gets married and she announces that her husband was her first and only boyfriend, people would gush and say, 'Wow!" or "You're so lucky!" This kind of belief simply reinforces the idea that my first boyfriend should be my husband.

This isn't to say that this idea is purely bad or purely good, it really depends on how one or both parties handle the situation/relationship. First relationships are always a trial stage where one tests the water and gets a feel of things. It is when one starts to gain maturity by thinking more of the other person and having a responsibility for that other person. Being in a relationship is the stage when one leaves the self-centered lifestyle for a more mature and other-centered one.

So when things are going well during the 'first try', it is inevitable that one will wish to stay with that person for eternity. This is the romantic point of view of people, of the happily ever afters. After all, the first try really plays a big part in one's relationships because it will set down the standards for other relationships to follow. One can't help but compare succeeding relationships with previous ones--trying to learn from the past. First relationships will always serve as a guide on the do's and don’ts for other relationships to come.
Relying on the idea that my first boyfriend should be my husband also gives one a sense of security that one does not have to keep on searching for the 'right one' by going into one relationship to another. However, this is a false sense of security because I believe that life and relationships are all about taking risks. Risks may give you good or bad news, whichever way, it would help you grow and mature into a better person. If one never takes risks, one will never progress. It is in taking the first step that one is able to walk for miles.

So during the times when the purpose of the relationship does not get fulfilled, both parties can still work things out through communication and by renewing their perspective in the relationship. However, it is not necessary to keep on focusing on the idea that my first boyfriend should be my husband, using it as the reason why the couple should work things out. If things really seem unmendable, then one should not force it just because you want to get married to the person. Because if you do, it would just end up in a divorce, making your efforts pointless

I just want to comment again about risks... wala lang, recently kc we took a risk in our relationship and i feel that even though it was really really hard, it was worth it and is still worth it and will be worth it. You know when you have an intution, when you know that something will work out and will bring things to a better height? Wala lang...i am just amazed how complicated life could get and how simple-minded i could be because i'm just starting to understand things now after 3 years and 8 months++ of being together. I'm just starting to understand the purspose of things, thank you to Fr. Dacanay's theo class for the added enrichment...

I feel that i have grown wiser through experience...i feel giving motherly advice right now hehe... i just want to tell those kiddies who are getting into bf/gf relationships not to take things as if they're playing games.Not to go into a relationship just for the heck of it, just to be in, just because someone's knocking on your door. The purpose of relationships are supposed to make you more mature, to enhance spiritual growth in both parties! The purpose of genuine love is spiritual growth, genuine love is circular, genuine love is an act of will, genuine love requires effort! haaaay wow talaga i can't wait for theo class kasi parang meron akong mini- relationship guide from fr dacanay.....
