Dear Mine,

HAPPY MONTHSARY!!!! I am so glad we made it this far. I know you have given me heart aches. But there are more laughter and sweetness we shared that made me forget about our troubles. I have no regrets having you in my life... 10 more months and we'll be happier :D I've never been happier. I love you, mine! I pray to HIM, despite of our differences, we can always make it through the obstacles. I know you don't want me to mind what other people may say about us. I know, because you want me to focus on us. It's our love, our world, ours alone. You made me happy. Let's be happy. Always! ♥

Dear Janely,

You are my friend virtually and IRL. I was kinda browsing your tumblr page. I'm glad you include me in your Best people in tumblr list. I'm flattered. I love you! BTW, you're already in my list for the sweetest couple I know IRL. There are already about 5 of you. I'm planning to make a page about that :D Keep updated. I always love your blog. Keep it up! ♥

Dear Someone-I'm-Starting-To-Hate-Now,

I don't know what happened, but you're not taking EXTRA careful of that pricey cam. That's a legacy. You should take care of it. When I checked it this afternoon, it's not in good shape. I hope it is still functioning. I thought you have this ability to take care of the things turned over to you. Please do before I totally hate you. Thanks :D


~xoxo,
dowbee! ♥

Dear favorite internet friend,

I can't think of any person whom I can consider as my favorite internet friend, but you are the one boosting me up in Plurk. 

To Janely, 

Thanks for the insights you shared in your blogs. I am always amazed with the way you write. You are witty, straightforward and cruelly honest *now, don't hit me :)*

To my tumblr friends who followed me,

Thank you for making me feel overwhelmed. I know we share the same ideas and emotions. Thanks for reblogging my posts though it wasn't my work. But I know you reblogged it because we feel the same way. We adore cute stuffs, we are in love, we are hurt, we are simply happy. Just by following me, you make me feel I exist in the cyber world.

cyber hugs and kisses,

OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED

You read and saw it right. I just graduated from that school. 

The commencement exercise was held in Central Bank of the Philippines, Davao City

I, Doby Angela Torres, a graduate from Davao Doctors College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, hereby announce in the blogosphere that I am officially unemployed. I will definitely find time to work on my exhibit forms and try my best to pass the board exam this coming December, 2010. Once I endured it, I promise myself to find a hospital which upholds the ideal standards of the nursing procedure so as not to spoil whatever was learned during the college days. I will also consider the salary, of course.

The atmosphere is filled with mixed emotions. Bliss. Anxiety. Disappointment. Euphoria. Nostalgia. Fear. You mention it, we felt it.

If you ask me how's it going? I tell you, it's not that exciting. Why? Here's a short list:

1. I'm no longer a student. That means, me no longer have to go to school. That means, me no longer have allowance :((
2. I'm no longer a student. And that also means, I have no more direct access to Clarion office. Keys will be surrendered to the SPS office... BOO!!!
3. I'm neither a student nor an employee/employer.
4. My beau will go back to the boondocks a day after this event. And he will come back not so soon enough.
5. I seemed to be more pressured than before. They put on higher expectations on me.
6. Everything is different right now. 

See. Graduating really is not the end. It is the start of my calvary.

2nd to the biggest event

DDC's 34th PINNING AND RINGHOP CEREMONY

Hooray to Batch 2010 for making it this far.

Even though some of my batchmates will not be able to march tomorrow in graduation, they deserve my Kudos!

And this was pinned to me this morning during the ceremony....

Proudly wearing this pin and (not my) college ring.

I do look matured here... BOO!

KUDOS to me and my batchmates...

Graduation tomorrow!

I will definitely miss almost everything about college.

More kudos!!

I just pray that my fellas here will allow me to go on a night life celebration after graduation.

And oh, I want to spend some final moments with my boo.

I'm gonna miss him after the ceremony tomorrow.

we got our aircon back!!!

 see that light on?... *wee*
please pretend that you did not see the mess on our little cork board :D

after waiting for almost 2 months to fix our office's air conditioner, it is finally working. we had gone through all the blaming and pointing-who-broke-it conversation and promises to take good care of it, the general services finally tightened the last screw on that effin' aircon.

There are 2 tips given to us on how to prolong the aircon's service to the Clarionets

*Clarionets, please take not of this*

1. Always set the temperature on 23 degrees celsius... do not go beyond that.

2. Always make it sure that you turn off the aircon before you leave the office.

i know you get it guys... don't forget these, ok?

something to cheer me up on my happy [birth]day

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME!!!

i woke up lazily this morning rather excited, biting my tongue not to say any clue about my birthday. I want the rest of my family to remember me. I've grown up from saying, "Ma, birthday ko ngayon." so it took 2 hours for them to realize i just woke up a year older than yesterday.

nothing so special this day. no celebration. no gifts. Only OVERWHELMING GREETINGS from my beloved friends (thank you ♥). I love them. I love fb this day for reminding my friends it's my birthday.... haha!

honestly, greetings are enough to make my day. even a midnight call to greet is the always in my top list.

as i was scanning my folder in Clarion's pc, i found my scanned baby/toddler/pre-schooler pics...

i think i was cute back then... ♥

it's me...this is how i define CUTE... hahaha

this is me few days before my birthday... that's how i define... *thinking**thinking*...

well, that's me... i think nothing has changed.

i only gained weight... haha!

graduation stress is sticking up on me till this moment.

swear, i can hardly get rid of it.

that really pisses me off...

it makes me look a lil bit haggard :(

trying to smile despite of the hefty requirements to comply on time.

what else.... hmm?

*thinking of something that cheered me up this day*

my ninong called me and said he sent me $$$ for my birthday and yearbook.

YEAY!!!

he even assured me a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland as my graduation gift 

^_______________^

my mom's here!

that makes a happy, too.

finally,

thinking that i could be happy this day makes me happy!

happy birthday!!!

the 30th

HAPPY 3Oth MONTHSARY!!!

We are so ambivalent this past few days.

We were loving and hating each other

(scratch that hating cuz we are more on loving, baby!)

I love you so much

 that I barely know what hating you means.

I am hoping that we would still keep 

our formulated rule in this game of love.

Remember, we are in the win-win strategy.

Whoever breaks any of the rule,

both loses the game.

But ours is not just a game being played by preschoolers.

We know intimacy and other serious stuff.

So, I hope that both of us will continue to help each other

to keep us in the game.

As of now,

I'm savoring every moment with you.

I'll make more memories with you.

And as much as possible,
we'll make each other happy.

~xoxo

p.s.
i enjoyed Manong's mango crepe

*yum-yum*

you've got to try this.

ode to the next in line (the seniors' goodbye)

We're waving goodbye to the new beginning

We're saying hello to happy endings

We were once like you

And not for long, you will be like us, too.

As we entered in this school, we were uncertain

Now we see the differences between now and then.

We were once acquaintances before

Now, we're acquaintances no more

Because we are family

As what we will always be.

We would still throw punch lines

To those who are about to whine

Turning it upside down

What is suppose to be a frown

Never forget to listen to someone's rants

Never forget to make each other feel important

Never forget to know the others roles

Cuz each one of us makes this academe whole

Never forget the memories of our duties and fears

The first times, the hard times and those that brought us tears

With all our hearts, we thank you all

For the scoldings and compliments that we can still recall

We're sorry for the headaches and back pains that our instructors have been through

Because we sometimes become stubborn and forgot about you

Now we, the seniors, will throw the caps up in the air

It is the juniors' turn to do have their fair share.

pre-pub mini-feast, i love! ♥

 

we enjoyed the pizza! ♥

i love these guys next to me

i love the pub where i currently belong

i love almost everything about these.

who would not love food? 

I L♥VE FOOD!

and after an hour or two in greenwich, we proceed to...

 

and grabbed a cup of...

 

hot choco,

to warm up my irritated tummy.

*resulted from taking the medicine without food prior to pre-pub mini-feast

say hello to 2-O-1-O!

 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..

2010!

We already dusted off the cobwebs out of the corner of the cabinets and swept the filthy fallen hair under the tables and beds. Now that 2010 is here, I think it is time to revamp this house and myself as well. How about a list of New Year’s resolution? But I can’t promise you guys that I can keep them all. They’re just my goals this year :)

Let’s start my top ten resolution for this year…

1.    Diet! Diet! Diet! I wanna be slim for yearbook’s sake.
2.    I want my fair white skin back. Still, this is for my yearbook’s sake.
3.    Be thrifty. Being labeled “bilmoko” by my family, I should learn the proper way to handle money. Especially, this is my last term being the Clarion’s managing editor… :( Spend wisely. I am also planning to buy something to treat myself since my birthday is fast approaching XD
4.    Eradicate procrastination. I know this is a bad habit that is almost impossible to break, but I’m really trying hard to avoid this since I’m going to be a nurse soon. It is a no-no to my profession.
5.    Be practical. I should choose things wisely- what to use or buy and what should be avoided. RESIST TEMPTATION!!!
6.    Learn to prioritize. Indeed!
7.    Be fashionable. A lot of trendy clothes can be bought from thrift-stores. There’s no need to spend thousands of cash *though I don’t have any* just to buy a single piece of apparel.
8.    Be more determined. Say yes to DOBY ANGELA T. TORRES, RN! Yeehaw!
9.    Have a stronger bond with family ties and relationship with Cawi. Keep them forever.
10.    Blog more!

What’s your new year’s resolution?

Christmas Eve wishlist!

Merry Christmas to all! This day seem so cold... Not much preparation, gift wrappings and food. To make me feel better, I made my wishlist hoping that Santa would this :)

1. I want my special someone to spend his Christmas with me or with his family. Either way won't make his Christmas cold. I bet he wanted someone to celebrate this season.

2. Turn back time. I want to go back to the time I haven't thought of formatting that camera. Maybe, just maybe, i could've made something more rightful than stupidly press the center button.

3. More food for noche buena. My lola gave P500 to my tita and thought of having KFC bucket meal. I think it's practical and the food is good enough since there are less people in this house. But I was thinking of leche flan and Red Ribbon cakes and vanilla or strawberry ice cream! yum :p

4. Lots of call and text load. I wanna ring up those dear people and greet them MERRY CHRISTMAS one by one.

5. Midnight walk with Cawi. I want to walk with him along the street since there's no fireworks and hopefully less accidents.

6. I want my own digital camera. Yeah, I'm craving to have one. Heard of lookbook.nu? I want to have an account there... *sighs* And i want this one...dual lcd digicam

7. A very good and disciplined diet. I WANNA BE SLENDER!!!!

8. I want a laptop... because... just because :)

9. I want an iPhone. It is portable.

10.DVD marathon. I want a portable DVD player where I can watch movies anytime i want.. Who wants to agree with me?

11. A complete family. I want everybody here this Christmas... Wishing I knew who's my daddy, ya'll! hehe!

12. World peace. Seriously, guys, we need this. Who doesn't? Unless if you're a greedy, war-freak sadomasochist.

13. No more famine. We don't wanna die starving.

14. A clean and Green Earth. We wanna live in this little sphere in the universe a little longer, so don't waste time wasting your garbage, a**holes!

So MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!!! HAVE A SAFE AND PEACEFUL CELEBRATION! ♥

sweet kisses

a stroll in the mall

a jeepney ride

this day is typical, yes.

but you made it special!

i love you, mine!

growing older

this was me then...

this is me now... with CaBy
actually, i'm confused whether to be happy or not. i can't imagine i'm getting older and bigger (literally). why can't i just give my two years of age away and stop counting at 18? i asked myself, is getting older makes me happy? neh, it's up to them. all decisions are up to THEM. i'm twenty and growing, still i can't manage to decide for myself; cuz every time i do, i always end up a failure.

all my life i lived in this hosue for twenty years now and i did not get the chance to sneak out of here. i can only go out with my friends (for social whatever) for about... uhm... less than ten fingers on my hand. good thing there are some projects, manuscripts and errands to do at school where i can squeeze in my time to hang-out. it's like i'm getting older yet i don't have the freedom to be me. i just left my teenage years (an age with a -teen at the end of every number) and all i can say is that there's no ME. the only chance where i can be free is when i'm alone? i'm not sure but i think i am.
all i want is freedom (when you can do anything that makes you happy without breaking any rules and not hurting other's feelings... sounds difficult). good thing college isn't harsh to me when it comes to time...err, to spend it with my colleagues and pals.

i sent a text message to few of my friends who knew that it's my beedae today. and it went like this: "how am i supposed to celebrate this day when getting older is not enough to make me happy?" (spelings r n txt)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
some misfortunes just happened today, and it did't made my day:
> an unannounced transport strike, which paralyzed the public vehicles to take a trip.
> i left my pinkbook which left me no choice but to go back home and fetch it. i spent my baon for an airconditioned taxi. GED!
> as i left the house, no PUJ passed the street and the strikers were pissing me off. again, i have no choice but to ride a habal-habal (a motorcycle good for 2 persons only). i can see my lola's eyes widened when she saw me hopping on that vehicle. *peace*


anyway, there are reasons that made me smile today:
> i am cleared in all my balances in school *hurray!*
> my mom sent money for my make-up duties... *sorry, ma, but i really have to pressure you*
> cawi gave me a dozen of pink flowers (i love pink when it is given, not bought) and a bearhuggs (i named it CaBy, the one i was hugging in the picture). not much of the color, but i'm accidentally in love with green.

and by the way...happy birthday!

celebrating our day!

"paint the city streets with gigantic, colorful
floats"

Happy 72nd Araw ng Davao!
