I started my day with so much euphoria last sunday. I prepared 4 boxes and cleaned up my room. This time, cleaning up means organizing books, dvds, clothes, dresses,
joms’s supplies (crayons, pencils, bond papers, poster colors, paint brushes, colored pens etc). Things from my kiddie world will go onto boxes and unwanted extras will go on trash can. This shipshape day is hard for me. To think that almost every part of my good, bad, childhood memories will locked up in a squared shaped carton. But the most exciting thing happened was that I was able to reminisce every little piece my hand have touched.
1. Bracket and Retainers - Yup! I look like as if I am a nerd
when I was in high school. I wore brackets for two years because I have a combination of underbite and overjet teeth (eow!). Good thing, my ortho says that my teeth are still immature that it can be treated at once. After that I had my retainers until college. As Moi always told me, my teeth is the most expensive part of my body because during my silver teeth days, I have to visit my ortho once every month and as foolish and stubborn girl as I am, my ortho always needs to put the brackets back together because I accidentally unattached the bracket with my teeth for eating gums, caramel popcorns and steaks. In addition, I had my extraction (three (3) of my wisdom teeth were taken off) last 2005 all at once! Ouch
. I have not taken my proper meals for two long weeks. Only ice cream and soup. That’s boring.
Until now, I never missed the twice a year teeth cleaning day with my dentist. I love my teeth. They are strong, shiny and always smiling. 
2. Love letters - Chubby Girl. That WAS 
I am when I am in my highschool years. As read in #1, I had this thing in my teeth and I am fluffy but that didn’t stop THEM to adore me 
hehe. I don’t know. Maybe they are just blinded by me and keeps on giving me letters, poems, chocolates and gifts. Same in my college years, yes, I have them too.
3. Random Letters - Even without love letters, I cannot survive without the letters of love, support and encouragement from my friends. They made me who I am right now. Even with email so much in used in our technology these days, snail mails are so much more appreciated and well kept.
Fact: When I was younger, Moi and I loves giving letters. With a words like “tke cre coz I cre” and “I lov you so many”. I wonder why it stopped
when I reached my 20s. Geesh. I should make my move fast! We even have this endearment — “I love you beeeybiiii” and “I love you meeemie” and its better heard that read.
4. Coursage - I am born choosy, that is to guys. But as loser
as it may sound, I always reject them and it turned out having the greatest prom ever. My date? Geesh
. My cousin kuya Nyro. Haha. I have this phobia you know. I don’t know what you may call it, but it is terrible true. I have this inferiority when I was younger that even if I said yes to a prospect date, I am thinking that he won’t show up because I am feeling ugly sort of things. And yes, I had the best prom partner ever — Calai’s date turned out to be my date and Kuya made it thru with Calai. Hehe. Friends!
5. First Communion Certificate - 8 years old when I had my first communion
. I was dressed in white with veil. Every girl in my age dress like that. It was the first time when I felt I was being baptized again in my younger age. It was the time when I realized the calling and to be a better Catholic.
6. Dried Flowers - From them of course. They are still alive inside my closet. They are still beautiful and as romantic as ever. I just don’t know what to say. They are full of good memories even if they are bad enough to remember.
7. Wrappers - Gosh! I never thought that I was able to keep so much junk. 
Uh-huh. They are candy wrappers, gift wrappers and food wrappers. I can’t believe they are stucked in my closet for years. From lovers, friends, family and acquaintances. What can I say, I have so much EQ. I am just lucky that a soldier of ants were not able to find out about my hidden treasures. Still, I kept these junks inside my memory box. Worth every trash.
8. 18th Birthday thinggies - candles, banner (with my chubby picture in it), 18 dried white roses, displayed banner in my cake, ribbons. All that. 
9. Watches - I collect watches. More specifically, BIG watches. I was surprised that the total count reaches to 30 and for a fact that those watches were bought and worn when I was still in College, only.
10. Certficicates - It may sounds crazy but yes, I am a consistent conduct awardee in highschool. Hehe. I also had this “Best in conduct” award. True. You see, when I was in my in high school years, I belong to this popular group called “Dyes”. Obviously we’re ten (10). Pretty, amazingly great girls and as definition goes to Popular means — boys, boys and boys. Unfortunately, I am the the one who left studying and burdening myself to books. And boys means tragedy (see #4). They call me “martial” 
for I am afraid when the bell rang signalling that it is time for class etc. I compete for declamation, figurative speech and oration. I should always have an assignment and so much into notes. Belonged to 10% of the graduating class of 2001. I also became a dean’s lister and became a member of KATAGA (Kapatiran ng Talino at Galing) when I am completing my bachelor’s degree.
11. Pictures - Bunch and bunch of them. Those smiles and funny gestures. I put them in a seperate box. Maybe when time premits, I could may albums and scrapbooks. A must do activity.
12. PNR Tickets - I am living in Para?aque. My school was in Sta. Mesa Manila. To get there I must complete a 3 to 4 commute rides in which my traveling time takes 2 long hours. It was really stressful in my case. My parents never allowed me to stay as a bed spacer or in a dormitory instead everyday requires me to come to school and go home sweet home stressed. But there is a faster way, that is to take PNR (Philippine National Railway) from Bicutan station to Sta. Mesa station and traveling will only take 30-45 minutes. There were so many first time experiences I encountered from this ride. Those time, there are many of our unfortunate brothers and sisters living on the side the railway. Some throw there trash inside the train that has yucky stuff. Some throw a liquid something inside while the train is still moving. There this time that we (with my fellow classmates) experienced someone where her bag was being snatched by this someone who was holding an i
ce pick in his hand. But seriously, the ride is fun.
The fair is cheap only 7.50php and for studs 7.00php. Until now, I am still looking forward on riding this train.
Fact 1: Have you ever experienced riding on a trolley? Oh well. I did! And still will do.
Fact 2: I have this thing about tickets. I always keep them somewhere I please. Airline tickets, bus tickets, where ever tickets.
The cleaning also includes a never ending list of my important “trash”. The hair ribbons my Moi used to put in my hair when I was a kid. The pellet gun, little robots and tanks my Poi gave me. The papel-de-hapon, manila paper, glitters, colored paste and other supplies that surprisingly being kept inside my closet. The paper bags that I madly kept because of buying in an expensive shop once and telling myself that it won’t happen again, it serves as a souvenir. The dress my grandmommy wore when she stayed in the hospital before she died.
Later that day, when so much dust caused my nose turned into red, sneezing became one of the popular tracks in the house and as if I cried in so much pain. I still manage to organize my thinggies and discovered I have too much.
1. Accessories - from fancy necklace, rings, bracelets to the real one. I have that. Unfortunately, I have the love of pearls (any design with pearls) that I only used it as my main accessory. I just want to keep myself plain, simple, confident yet classy.
2. White Shirts - I was shocked, I counted all my white shirts (excluding other colors of course) it is close to a hundred 
I never thought that I am into whites.
3. Bags - Plain colored BIG Bags. I love them. I wonder what is inside my bag? Digicam, dslite, phone, ipod, planner, flash disk, tissue , lotion, splash, gtech pen, any reading material, wallet, kengkoy kit, headband & ponytail, prayer booklet and Koko. Whew! 
It’s like I am bringing my own room.
4. Shoes - I got 8 pumps. 6 are old enough to give away and 2 of which are still actively being worn. My faves are flats and comfy slippers.
5. Colognes and Lotions - It’s like I have a 10 years supply. Oh no. Pathetic me. It is so unreasonable keeping them and still buying some.
Those are my vanities. I seperated those I won’t be needing anymore and decided to give them away. Actually, I already gave stuff last Christmas season. It’s was like having a free tiangge in our town in Batangas.
Every piece means a lot. My moi says I should give up those throw them up. I am sentimental, I am proud of that fact. That’s why I used boxes to keep my memories alive.

For the celebration of my 100th blog entry. I am dedicating this to my one and only idol…I am an addict on her. Some may call her Shawie, some call her Mega or The Megastar but for me she will always stay as 
While waiting for friends last saturday in Serendra, I decided to sit back and play with my Mario plus fill my cravings for a cupcake. I first stopped in Cupcakes by Sonja’s but things on my mind bounced and move out to find another pastry that could tickle me. Then came Marta. She made me give up competing with Boucer, instead she let me sit back, relax and design my own cookies and cupcakes. Marta’s Cake is a little place which has little tables and chairs where kids (and adults!
