I instantly fell in love with it. Seriously. I could really see myself going in there. I could probably hang out with some romantic cutie and we would have the perfect Valentine’s date together. Then we’d cuddle, kiss, share the sunset and talk to ’til 4am after. I’d wrap my arms around him and he’d nibble my ears… GAAAAAH. He’d certainly comprise a huge chunk of my life but this is what really bothers me: I srsly need to get a freaking boyfriend, like, RGHT NAOW.
Ps. I do not take credit for the photo, but this is very lovely. *___*
♥♥♥
I’m somewhat dressing some very few clothes now. I LIKE all this February sun and I can’t wait to embrace its magnificent heat ’til it’s officially summer. Breezy tops and floral head wreaths for all occasions are.. love. <3
But before we wrap up, I think you should ask yourself, “Do I have a date this Monday?” HAHAH. For the singles out there, instead of focusing your energies on envy, why not divert into something more positively delish? :]
You can start off by visiting this tambayan-friendly cafe resto located at the UP Bahay ng Alumni. Your date can’t flake out on you when you bring HIM or HER here! I know, because my cousin works there and I planned a visit on Monday. ♥
ROC (Restaurant-Of-Choice) is serving delicious dishes for everyone to feast on for Valentine’s day. But the best part, guys? Is that they’re hosting a speed dating event as well. Lots of guests and you won’t believe who are coming. :]
Valentine’s Menu: White Cheese Salad, Roasted Asparagus Soup, Surf and Turf (Beef Belly with Ratatouille and Green Pea Risotto with Grilled Prawn), Chocolate cake with Strawberry Coulis ALL for P600.00 for 2 persons. Available for dinner from February 12 through February 14, 2011. Reserve now: 4250191
SEEit’s the upper echolon of pretty girls like this that are going to destroy the entire world of men that heartbreakers dwell on. Yes, we may be bitter, but we just spent the entire night warming each other’s hearts with girly convos and kakikayans for the ultimate gala bonding fiesta! Though I admit I’ve been heart-ugly these days. If giving love was a sport, I’d be Kobe Bryant. Hah.
Anyway, the ff pictures were of the event that I newly met Kaye Torrente, my super gorgeous facebook friend and the vocalist of Firefly Parade! Chu and Lee, my alltime girlfriends, were also there but of course not to be missed is my cousin lovess (Ate Anj) – who sticks w/ me through thick and thin even though I am the brattest of the brats. XD Anyway, we hooked up with Kaye’s crew and everything went interesting, not boring, okay?
Since details are boring let’s wrap it up and lemme just say I ended my 2011 by making new friends and giving my social life a ~boost~. Girls, I heart you with all my heart! <3

AND AS PROMISED – new year’s eve photos!
My mom hosted the new year’s party on our street.
Of course, it won’t be Christmas/New Year without the fresh 20 peso bills! My mom has given each filipino kid 20 pesos as a prize for winning a game. Aww.
Speaking of games, my bro and I participated too! And lolz y’all know what this is.
The mothers in the block, who prepared all the delicious filipino party foods!
Pop cola, spaghetti, puto, buko salad, carbonara! LOLz. What else yummy do you see here? :3
My bro (far left) and his folks, sitting on the curb while watching the kids play pinoy henyo.
Childhood friends are lovee. From L to R: Me, Daylin, Jamie
Best ate (and cousin) ever. :3
Drunk and merry.
My Dad makes the best interior designs, and our garden is no exception in this regard. Just look at all those shiny colorful things! PLUS! House music! *mindblast* We had this on new year’s eve, and I couldn’t be happier.
I JUST TOOK a picture of the christmas presents I got for this year and I’m gonna weeeeeeeee like a small child!
“]
What did you guys get for Christmas?
OF COURSE thank you to my wonderful parents (who reads my blog! HAHAH) and to my deliciously awesome friends for making my Christmas more fun than last year. I’m not the “gift type” of person and I surely suck in choosing Christmas gifts, but I do HAVE A GOOD HEART and do know how to be a generous princess in return, lolz! :}
See as a treat to my family, we even went out yesterday and watched Tron: Legacy in IMAX 3D!!
Awesome movie, you guys!
ALSO: I treated everyone for dinner!!! – we ordered chinese!
This was my Christmas late dinner with my family. We ate at Mann Hann, one of our favorite Chinese restaurants which serves delicious chinese food.
Just take a good look at what we had in our tummies:
GAAAH. Delish! XDD

Family fun at the dinner table. My parents are way cute diba!?
We are fond of laughtrips and my Dad is the ultimate person to be with if you rave for a good sense of humour. He is simply funny, cute, unique, impressive, & MOST OF ALL: huggable. :3 My mom is simply perfect, and possibly the loveliest person you’ll ever meet!

But wait! There’s more!
We looooove Green Mango’s frozen yougurts!
Like OMG who wouldn’t want to have a lick at this after fully satiating yourself over Chinese cuisine! It’s addicting in all sorts of way! Eating is one of the things that my Filipino family loves doing, and these froyos just made our day complete!
SO BY NOW you’ve heard of my going green-in-the-gills in the past few days, but Tuesday night was so exceptional that I barely felt ill at all. Dancing isn’t all time fun because the minutes spent whirling around can sometimes give you PAIN.. and I don’t like that.. besides I suppose everybody doesn’t. I’m no fan of giant bruises and I DON’T KNOW WHAT. But then again, when I come home later in the evening, after all the training and rehearsals with people who share with you the same space and energy, it kind of strikes a nerve in me and I realize that all that pain is worth the sweat anyway, at any day of the week! Because really, it’s all about dancing now or um, yea, dancing never. It’s that thing we can’t leave and have learned to love even though it pains us.. but your love for it is greater than the sorrow for yourself.
Too bad I don’t have a video of the dance show proper! But I do have a little video of us rehearsing like it’s one of those days again, and here in this vid, at the back was the present Salinggawi batch watching us. I need to become my flexible self again. Work on my extensions and lines. Plus, backwalk! Play the video below to watch the clip.
at the UST PE ANNEX. GADDD, I miss! No amount of sweat can ever express my love for this place! It’s still the same old rehearsal hall except the ceilings are new ones in replacement of the old. It’s truly unforgettable with LOTS of dance injuries to boot. This is where I learned everything!
and the verdict:
The UST Salinggawi Alumni during the Accnenture Awards Night 2010. August 17,2010.
Thanks coach Ajjie Mandelabar for the choreo! Looking forward for more dance rackets in the near future! I really had so much fun because no matter how fickle or monumental we got, our creative playground for dancing just burst within us that it was like those times of the year again.
Ah, good ol’ times.
Cast: England Austine Alano, Dexter Raymundo, JP De la Cruz, Dol De Fiesta, Fe Poyaoan, Vanessa Cruz, and Sidney Antolin (me)

As dancers, we make our owncostumes..furs, feathers, black ensemble, accessories, everything looking Miley to prep ourselves up for that night..
and of course, we do our own hair..
and our own make-up..
and take pictures in betweens.
and take more pictures …candid ones. like this.
Kuya Ajjie snapped this when I didn’t want it happening! I was in the middle of applying my make-up!! HAHAH. But does my hair look very Miley here?
Me andVanessa posing for the camera in our favorite dance pose, “The Scorpion Pose”, one move we learned in cheerleading. Having a few years break from cheerleading, MY BACK HURT doing this again! Guys, if you think cheerleading is nothing more than looking pretty and shaking pom-poms, well, not quite. You need to be strong, flexible and agile to learn a move or skill such as this.
And of course, with every dance racket=cash meal allowances!
So here’s us spending moolah for food. Because FOOD=ENERGY BOOSTERS FOR DANCERS!
At Wendy’s Edsa Shangrila before show proper. Dancers should eat healthy! SO we ordered shrimp/fish burgers to nomnom, cut on the fries, and got ourselves ice teas. Absolutely zero sodas!

More photos of us at thedressing room:
These guys were also performing that night! I forgot their group name lol GOMEN. It was raining that day, I wore my Jessica rain boots!
and some solo shots!
I wasn’t sure whether to smile or not at this photo! Thus, the heinous face of awkwardness.
yes, a split.
I said I’ll try hard not to laugh, but I did! (Click on the picture to make it huge and stare at the photo until your eyes dissolve, lol)

My tiny fetal fingers are really tingly and numb as I type this. I have a mild sore throat ongoing strangling my neck with some sort of pain I can’t explain.
But YEAAAAAAAh. My mind feels in absolute amazing shape and all these dancing thoughts make me feel good somehow, which I kinda like.

more posts about my dancing life soon! don’t forget to subscribe.
Sometimes, all I really want to do is to be somewhere near you. I want to watch cheesy and crappy movies of the 90′s with you, and we will laugh at them together. I want to plan things with you, things we’ll never do, for if we do the unthinkable will it make us look crazy? For some reason, just planning with you is fine with me. I want to talk to you about everything and anything under the sun. I want to goof around with you and throw jokes that aren’t funny but we’ll laugh nonetheless.
I just want to fall in love with you over and over and maybe at one point we’ll get tired of each other, but until then, I want you, and just you.
She taught me how to love books, and read and read and read in endless repetitions of everyday..
She gives good advice and shares thousands of inside jokes..
She has never failed in teaching me the right things..
Because if not for those what would shape me into becoming who and what I am right now?
She has helped me achieve things I never thought that I could. And I appreciate it greatly..
She has helped me learn little things in life that makes it big.. a big difference that has inspired me in ways like never before..
She is exceptional and real and strong and flawed and human and she is a great important example for me..
And I guess at this point I can safely say I can’t thank her enough..
for being the cushion when I fall.. and for letting me enjoy the finest of what life may bring.
She is simply there.

Hey, MOM! If you’re reading this now, here’s me wishing you a very Happy Birthday. I know I may never say this all the time, but yeah. . . I DO, I DO REALLY LOVE YOU!!
Enjoy the finer things in life and stay smexy forever!
