Halloween costumes!

it's weird, i'm 20 and it's just now that i've come to appreciate, okay LOVE halloween. when i was a kid, i dressed up as a witch just because my mom told me so, and we went trick or treating at this mall.

a few years ago, i accompanied my cousins trick or treating around their village. and i was so envious because even the grown ups were in costumes, and ideas were just coming in my head. i wanted to dress like this, like that, i had tons of ideas. and now that it's halloween again, i decided to be a disney princess; snow white! haha i know, corny because everyone's a disney princess. but just once in my life, i want to be one. haha. and snow white's was the simplest one to do, considering i don't have much time to prepare.

but this year, since i won't be spending halloween in manila, i thought, WHY NOT HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARTY IN ILOILO! i can't get villages to agree to trick or treating, some villages may have their own i guess. but it's kaylle's 10-10-10 (yes, her birthday was october 10, 2010, which comes once in 800 years) so WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE IT! and though it's not exactly 101010, we decided her birthday celebration to be a halloween partyyyy! :) hihihih and it's later naaaa! :)

will post pictures after her partay!!!

but this blog is for future reference only. these are some of my ideas, although next year, some will be "so-last-year".

or i can go as myself.

HAHAHAHAHA!
more halloween costume ideas to come!
i love halloween! :)

oh now i remember why i remembered about blogging again

as outgoing, flexible and crazy a person i am, i like things planned. and trust me, when i've conditioned myself only to find out the plans don't go as planned, i get into a rage. so i'd like to know what's going to happen next, especially with my life.

after graduation, when i finally had a job, i planned my life for the next ten years. this was how it looked.
(i ran out of space) by Feb 2020, i'll have the special theater company (my ultimate life dream) booming, have written at least 5 children's books, and beginning to plan on putting up my own preschool. then, the next ten years will be devoted to developing the school further, even up until highschool. my special theater will inspire thousands, and we will go on tour and etc. yes, that's how i planned my life for the next 20 years. and i didn't want anything to go delayed.

but then, i had this life changing realization about wanting as many careers as i can, and i'm 67% pretty sure that i'm taking Interior Design as my next step. there's this ID school i'd like to go, the certificate program goes on for 6 months, so i'm hoping all goes well. then i have to start studying my last 9 education units so that i could take the LET (licensure exam for teachers) on september. and then by that time, i'll legally be an interior designer! :) :) :)

alas, all the planning crumbled and nothing in that first lifetime was similar to the next one.

what in the world happened to NYU? and where did University of Sydney come from? and am i going to finish the MA in devpsy?

NYU. after watching gossip girl, blaire preferred Columbia, so i didn't think NYU was a nice school. SOBRANG BABAW I KNOW. HAHAHA but then, i was also thinking, everyone's going to the US nowadays, i want to go somewhere else. alas, Australia. i asked my prof who took her masters degree in aussie, about nice schools in australia, and she suggested Univeristy of Sydney and University of New South Wales. i'm picking pa from the two schools. haha i'm not actually sure if i'm really pushing through with australia, but i really want to. sana po hindi ako tamarin. MA in DEVPSY? i don't know. i guess i just need the LET to up my background in education, ready for further studies in australia. :)

and that was how my 20 year plan got disoriented by my 4 year plan. no matter what happens, i'm going to push through with my special theater company. that has, and will always be my advocacy, and i will work hard to make it happen. :) the children's books, yes. that definitely has to happen, at least 20 in my lifetime. i'm going to be the next eric carle or shel silverstein. i don't know where in my lifetime am i going to plot those dreams, but i'll make sure it will all happen.

hey, did i mention i want to work with UNICEF, WALT DISNEY STUDIOS and any magazine publication ala Devil Wears Prada?

what happened?

I had millions of things going on, i just didn't have the time to blog it all, putting aside the crappy internet at work. But here i am, home in Iloilo. i must say, i've never been so glad to be home. :)

WORK
teacher timee is definitely enjoying every second with her kids. :) it's always a new day everyday, and i look forward to seeing my babies and the new things they bring in school. It may be tiring like hell, but how can it be hell when i'm with my angels? :) being a teacher doesn't pay much, but everything else that comes with this calling (yes, it's not a job. it's a vocation. hihi) is worth it. nothing beats the smile on my children's faces when they learn something new and come home to tell their mommies and daddies about it. or when i hear parents say they made the right decision sending their child to your school. or when your 3 y/o kid is able to add and subtract easily, and you didn't expect him/her to get it right the first time. if i indeed choose a different career in the future, i will always go back to teaching kids. :)

FRIENDS
2010 is a crazy year, and i can't believe it's coming to an end in a few months. a lot has happened, and i'm really happy with the way things turned out. :) i gained a new friend, someone i'm so sure i'll be friends with forever and ever. :) :) :) to you my shitty friend, i'm always here for you too. hahahahaha i've been drifting apart with my other friends as well, but it doesn't bother me. i think it's better this way.

this section is not LOVE, it's a malandi section.

and a one.

and a two.

and a three.

and a four.

aaaaaand. twist lick and dunk.
(oy, the last one is a bit complicated. i'll explain it to you once it matters to me again. hahahahahahaha. but now, i don't really care anymore. hahahahaha)


and LOVE.

because i'm really okay with anything. :)

aaaaand!!! back to the show! :)

as promised! haha i've been gone for quite some time now, having no internet in the condo hasn't been much of a help. reason why i don't want internet and cable tv in my condo? i don't want bills (i suck at paying on time, not because i don't have the money, i do, i just don't have the time) and i'm moving anyway, i want a better place. and besides i didn't have the time back then to watch tv or go online.

so voila, here I am, post-production and back to working full time. I must admit that having a prod now that i'm working was much harder back when i was a student. physically harder, but emotionally more fulfilling. :) back in college where my day didn't start at 7:30am everyday, i could afford to sleep 1 onwards, and still manage to cram papers and study for stuff. But this time, working from 7:30 and going straight to rehearsals, with no time to do work in between was a bit tiring. I'm relieved it's over now, I can rest. But i will truly miss Pilandok. :) I hope I get invited to tour with Entablado. I will so say yes. (giveaway much! haha)

Here's my Pilandok life in pictures.

The Diwatas

with Fr. Ben Nebres
Ateneo de Manila president.
another theater highlight.

2 shows in Meralco theater.
another major theater career highlight.

lots of important people watched!

almost highlight of my theater career.
i would've actually died if the president and the vp came to see us.

working with amazing people.

i just love meralco theater.

i've always wanted to do this.

again, working with amazing people.

my costume was hard to work with,
i prayed everytime that it would cooperate with me.
but it was an amaaazing costume.
i love you Gara.

in Pilandok, i learned how to make landi like there's no tom.

to be strong. like that. hahaha

reunite with old friends.
enta seniors 2010.

feel like a super kaduper great diwata.

with all its grandeur and awesomeness.

a very unexpected reunion. :)

and me signing autographs.
i'm a star.

update
I made this post a few months ago when i thought i had all the time in the world after pilandok. well, turns out i had to catch up on work i left hanging when pilandok happened, so i didn't get to blog. but no worries, i'm buck. hahahaha. yes.

AAAAND BACK TO THE SHOW! :)

Answer here

Dominique Estampador 1989-2010

Unknown assailant murders 20-year-old nursing student

www.thedailyguardian.com

THE stab-riddled body of a 20-year-old nursing student, believed to be a robbery victim, was found in a ditch in LaPaz, Iloilo City early Friday morning.

Dominique Ann Estampador, a resident of Villa Hermosa Subdivision in Brgy. Baldoza, LaPaz succumbed to 12 stab wounds in various parts of her body.

The lifeless Estampador, a 4th year student of the Iloilo Doctors Hospital, was found by residents and trisikad drivers 6am Friday on Villarama Road in Brgy. Lopez Jaena, LaPaz

Woke up, checked my facebook on my phone for new updates, and saw this picture on my wall. I opened it, to see why I was tagged. and the caption was: "Justice for Niq. rest in peace." I had to ask my Iloilo friends what happened. my friends replied "she was stabbed to death, 12 stab wounds. she was robbed too." My heart broke when I heard, and I wanted to cry. I didn't really know her that well, but once we were in the same group of friends, with sina Jet and Lucie. But I know she was a good friend and a strong girl. Whatever's going on with those people who brutally killed her must be all f*cked up right now. they should be. Si Lord nalang ang bahala sa inyo. I swear you are all so f*cked up.

Niq, you're in a better place now. Rest in peace friend. We are praying for your justice.
