Gez’ wut? i’m cooking!!! yeah yeah i know how to but only those simple and basic ones like adobo, binagoongang baboy, omelet.. har har! yeah.. i’m kathy, this is kathy, this is my blog, ur not lost okay? AKO ITO! hehe well, so ayun nga i learned cooking na and thanks to yahoo and google search engines for the recipe. Oh how i miss our darling housemaids.. i was like.. knockin’ on mah head and saying HALLUER! wala ka nang maid dito sa New York noh.. thanks to the new innovation a.k.a. microwave oven, automatic washing machine, vacuum cleaner.. they can do the job. :)  And talkin’ about the washing machine, since birth my clothes had never been washed in a washing machine coz i find it yucky (my ewwwwness!!). now i have no choice but to put my dirty clothes and push the buttons.. Viola! clean, fresh and dry na mga damit ko.. anyway di naman madumi dito unlike in the Philippines. But the thing is… my clothes are kinda faded! damn! they are new ones coz i have to buy so much clothes coz my balikbayan box was lost (now i found it and my fave pants were missing). oh well, now i know why they like white shirts and faded jeans.

Just mailed the application form for CGFNS credential verification so i can take NCLEX asap. hope they’ll receive it coz it’s bundled with a $275 money order…

I’m thinking that i’ll just review on my own nalang coz KAPLAN is kinda expensive.. it will cost me about $668.  I’ll just buy a laptop nalang…

When the pimp’s in the crib ma
Drop it like it’s hot
Drop it like it’s hot
Drop it like it’s hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it’s hot
Park it like it’s hot
Park it like it’s hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it’s hot
Pop it like it’s hot
Pop it like it’s hot

Gawd damn it! that day was such a bad one! Let me enumerate the series of unfortunate events happened to me the day I left Philippines…

1. Of course i felt so sad leavin’ my family, friends, jef and my so- called hassle- free life in the Phils.

2. Philippine airlines was so great that my flight was delayed because of the late boarding time some refueling stuffs they did which consumed our 1.5 hours of our precious time… Boo!! I’ll never fly PAL again i swear!! Not to mention their jampacked seat whew! I really cant imagine that I’ve been there for 12 plus hours straight… haaaaaaayy!!!

3. So my flight was sooo delayed, roughly 2 hours delayed, plus I had to rush from Tom Bradley Internation Airport (L.A.) to the Domestic Airport just walking with all my baggage (I’m talking about pushing 80 lbs baggage plus a hideous pushcart)… with all the rush and great effort (i was really running and even it’s cold out there i was sweating a lot) to be on time for my connecting flight to New York, the domestic plane left, of course without me because I was so late for the last call time /boarding time. Grrrrr… I was left alone there.. damned, tired, wasted and teary- eyed because there’s no one to help me out.

4. I went back to Tom Bradley Airport (yes, with the 80 lbs baggage with me) to re- book my flight. There i saw a kababayan and also an employee at PAL, whew! at last there will be someone to assist me in booking my next flight, and also someone to talk to because i was so tongue- tied speaking a foreign language which i’m not used to, in other words nauubusan na ako ng English. So the guy helped me to re- book my flight and he even gave me a complementary dinner coupon from PAL, a $15 dollar value so i can dine- in at restos inside the airport. I thought that it was a pure help from a kababayan but he keeps on offering me to dine with him. Of course I refused because I’m not that hungry yet besides, he’s a stranger! And why should I dine with him if I already had the dinner coupon with me. I can eat by myself and whenever I want to. In short, nangangarir sya hehe. Sorry nalang siya.

5. I waited 7 hours lang naman Grrrrrr! Haaaay!!! Bagot na bagot ako dun from 11 PM to 6 AM. And that’s the time to reflect. Now I realized and also experienced that being independent is essential in one’s life, I guess I’m learning, besides, it’s what i want: ADVENTURE.

6. After 7 hours of waiting, Dyaaaraaan!!!! I’m boarding na with American Airlines to John F. Kennedy Airport New York. Another 5 hours and that’s it nasa New York na ako. It’s more comfortable than PAL but I can’t sleep so I just browse some magazines to kill time. The plane landed on time. That was very fine except that one of my box was lost! AHHH WHAT!!?? I can’t find it in the carousel! I just have the other box with me but it was ripped and some things are missing inside, okay my fault coz I didn’t taped it properly, but still the other box was missing! DAMN IT! Halos lahat ng damit ko andun! Thank God Rico Bear is with me all throughout the flight kung hindi maloloka na ako.

7. Well eto sa awa ng Diyos, naka- uwi naman ako ng bahay namin dito sa Bronx. By this time i’m still calling that fuckin’ American AIrlines for the lost balikbayan box. It was almost a week now and thay’re still searchin for it.

AHEM! Para sa isa jang matagal na akong dapat nai-date sa National Museum. haha! kidding. (jef yata yung name nya?)

You and me : enough, perfect, and i’m contented even we’re just walking in a parking space (as we always do). You know what, as what Ingrid told me in one of her testimonials, I’ve never been in love this way before. Yeah really no kidding.

Since that day (June 15, oo! noong binola mo ako hehe) I started to feel that I’m the happiest girl in the world. Maybe bcoz I felt loved, cared, respected… and also that Peter Pan Syndrome of yours, i really want to believe that im the luckiest and the happiest girlfriend of all times.

Yes we have differences too like I’m the out- going histrionic- narcisistic type while you’re a home buddy, matter-of-fact kind of person. I’m a bit anti- social / rule- breaking biatchy while you’re a no-beating-the-red-lights-please guy. I do love you for being you…

errrr, why am i feeling this way?! a.k.a. I’M MISSING YOU.

though we’re just together yesterday and will be seeing tomorrow for our badminton tournament again (yehey! sana ikapayat natin ito pareho)… I’m still missing you so badly. blah blah blah… at ska napapansin ko ikaw lagi topic ng blog ko ah! maiba na nga! bleh!

It’s August already. Still have 15 days to savor my stay here in the Philippines. 15 days to bond with family, friends and my love.

Oh and about the title? Hummm wala lang.. I’d like to answer (repost) a bulletin question sana but hindi nalang coz, yah knoe! someone’s peepping hehe.. that sucker! haha!
