Goodbye GOL :(

Kabarangay,

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Ginebraonline has to formally shut down starting today (May 31, 2009) and will be gone for good.

and we hoped that in our short stint together as a community of Ginebra Gin Kings believers, you have somehow felt the spirit and the dedication that has brought about the birth of this site. Alas, all good things must come to pass.

Keep the never-say-die spirit alive for while this site is but our temporary home, Ginebra’s place in our hearts will surely not be effaced.

Salamat mga ka-barangay!

Upon trying to log-in to one of my most visited websites, this is what i saw...I had so many memorable moments with this site and with the people in it, and behind it... I attended the first random party ever in my life, and that was it's first anniversary... I met new friends here, and most of all, I met the love of my life here...

Although I had some sad moments here as well, I must say I had the best ones too... It's sad that after all the friendships made, the love found, the happiness shared, this has to say goodbye...

This may be hard, but I believe there is a good reason behind it, as they say, when something closes, there's going to be a new opening... positive thinking: who knows, there would be a better ginebraonline.com... I will miss this...

Mood: sad. shocked!

The Show...

I am loving this song, thanks hunk for introducing it to me... :)

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Thanks Friendship!Cheers.

Friend: ang tagal tagal na nyan... almost one year na, hindi ka ba napapagod?
Me: ano ka ba, hindi naman ako nagbibilang eh, you know,when you're happy you don't count days, weeks, months or years of waiting, basta you know you're happy... and I am happy, so who cares kung matagal na?

Friend: mapapagod ka din, im sure... itigil mo na kasi yan, mas masaya na dun ka sa taong masaya din for you, at hindi sya yun.
Me: how did you know what's in his heart? hahaha. alam mo, i'd rather take this kind of situation with him, rather than be with someone i'm not going to be happy with forever.

Friend: ayaw mo bang iopen yung heart mo sa iba? madami naman jan that I'm sure will love you the way you deserve...
Me: my heart is always open, but it has always been cautious... you know, i believe that when you trully love a person, you give him yourself, whole-heartedly...and I know the last time I did, I gave my whole heart, yes it was crushed, but the same person who crushed it, molds it back into pieces... in his own ways...

Friend: ang lalim... well, I cannot argue any longer, you love him for real, so much, and I am happy that you do, you are the nicest... kung ako yan, I could have bitched around, but you never did... lucky guy!
Me: hahaha... or rather, lucky me, I got the chance to love him and be loved in return...:)

Friend: kung san ka masaya chong, I am there with you... He has been open to be with us naman.
Me: I know... It'll take time.

Friend: I miss you. Be stronger.
Me: I am. Thank God for this trial. I know how to get up.

Freshness.

Nothing refreshes me more and energizes me more than this...


I will never get tired of drinking fruit shakes and fruit juices... It's my everyday Buddy...


I want a franchise of Fruitas... hehehe... :) L

Shocking,Surprising Finale

The recently concluded finale of American Idol was just amazing, surprising and a shock to some. I watched it three times ( I can't believe it either) over Star World, and Q TV, and I am just amazed... My thoughts on the finale... hmmm... :

1. It was definitely star- studded. Just seeing movie and music personalities like, Queen Latifah and Steve Martin, legends such as Rod Stewart, Keith Urban (Urban Legend, LOL, just joking), Lionel Richie (supported by his equally legendary heiress Nicole, LOL), Carlos Santana and Cindy Lauper (which was once a guest on Gossip Girl, Blair's bday party) and Rock Icons like Queen and Kiss (which was the reason why Adam Lambert won't forget his Idol stint), Black Eyed Peas' grammy-deserving performance and my new love, I am inlove with him, really, Jason Mraz... (wait, did i forget anybody?) made this really unforgettable, amazing and beyond words for the Idol Contestants and everyone watching the show...

2. It was entertaining, having these Golden idol awards, hahaha, bringing back the not-so lucky idols and my personal favorite, Kara singing and showing her body... wooohhoooo... entertainment it is! and not to mention Tatiana del Toro's "escaping" performance...

3. It was shocking. For all Adam Lambert fans and of course, no one was more than shocked than Kris Allen who is the new American Idol. Leaving the "Glambert" fans asking where did he go wrong when he as the best performer in the contest, and leaving Kris Allen, soooo speechless...

Some are saying Lambert was robbed, and some say Kris Allen was not as happy as expected... but it's done America has spoken... and Kris Allen is the New American idol...Cheers and Congrats to kris Allen and the underdog has risen as the winner....xoxo

Movie Line...

Gigi from the Movie he's just not that into you

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope.

American Idol Finals

Who will win this season's American Idol?

Is it, the hearthrob-looking Kris Allen?



or, the Rock-star, guy-liner Adam Lambert?



I personally think, it all depends on what the "silent majority" says... wooohhooo... can't wait...

On my wedding day...

"i'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight,
I love the old fashioned things...
This year's fancies are passing fancies.....
but sighing sigh, holding hands
these my heart understands...

I'm old fashioned but i don't mind it, As long as you agree to stay old fashioned with me...

Gosh... I'm having LSS over this song... hahahaha... i will hear this on my wedding day.... :)

What keeps me going on...and on... and on...

I know my life has never been this short... it seems too short that I always think of things to make this life worth fighting for... things, people, and everything to inspire me more than ever...stuff to make me realize that life is not short as it seem... so.. let me count them down...

1. Family. I always thought and believed that my family is perfect... you know how it was taught when we were young? the mommy, daddy, siblings always together? that is how i always see my family... though my dad has been away most of our lifetime, he never failed to be the dad that he should be... supportive in everything... and he's a spoiler too... my mom, who always plays the big role in my life, never failed to play this role of hers as well.. and my sisters... they are amazing, supportive of what i want to do, and sometimes hates me for being such a stubborn...but makes me realize my mistakes din... and makes me laugh so hard that i cry... LOL

2. Jezrael. Talk about love and what it means... If there's one person, who made me understand that life is not all about being happy, and getting what you want., if there's one person who, inspite of being my dream come true, takes me back to reality, that's him and only him can do that... yes, yes, we were over for some time na, but he may have left the relationship, but he never left me... :), he is still there... same old jez that i knew and i loved, and he never fails to challenge me in this game of life... talk about being an eagle rather than just a small bird...

3. Dreams. I am so far from what I want to be and from where i want to go... so it seems like just seeing my dream-list, makes me want to live longer... where some include, going to paris, having by own biz, travelling the world and having my own house with high-ceiling and big windows...hmmm... :P

best gift yet!

it's been almost 2 months since my birthday, which I almost forgot, because for the first time I did not celebrate it the way I normally do...sad, but true... but surprisingly... I know, I may not have all the gifts i wanted but I got more love...

I knew ever since that my lola loves me so much, I can say, I am her favorite (yabang mode) hahaha... indeed, she loves me... and she loves me much... and I love her too..

I must say, this is one of the best gifts I had... and I would feel like dying if my lola will leave me...

xoxo.

Privileged!!!

I am so hooked up with Gossip Girl, and was trying to look for a series that will also be as exciting and worth the time to watch...

A friend, suggested "Privileged" starring JoAnna Garcia, Lucy Hale, Ashley Newbrough... and wooolllaaaahhh... I was hooked too, I finished the whole of Season 1 in 2 days, and I can't wait for the next season...

oh, and by the way, I was also inspired to teach, (and teach rich kids for that matter), because of Meagan Smith... and I wish I have the fortune of the twins, Rose and Sage... lots and lots of effortless-Moolah... hahaha...

i'd be sharing some of my fave episodes in the next days... wooohhooo!!!

What my Nails want.. :)

There are five things I am usually wearing, and I love to wear, my pearl earrings, lovely undies, bronzers and red nail polish... hahaha... Before, I normally have my nails done with French Tip, but at some point I got sick of them, and tried having red nails, and wooolllaaahhh, i am loving it...

I've tried shades from the face shop, revlon and even the local brand, caronia, but I must say O.P.I has the best red shades in their collection, not to mention, for the pink lovers, they have the best ones too...

I love the All-Lacquered-Up and oh...to be 25 again, and i have one more, I forgot the name... hhahahaha... try O.P.I, it lasts... it's wonderful... hahaha.. ;) Cheers!!!

Happy Nails...

I have tried so many nail salons and nail spa, but I have to say, this is my favorite... The Li'l Nail Shop... it's at Santana Grove in Paranaque....



It's cozy, and feels like your just a home serviced by friendly and careful staff... and at a very reasonable price... :) and I normally get my nails done there, and I must say, it makes me feel like coming back every week... and they have this point system which you earn every time you come over and with these points you would get a free service on your next visit... hahaha....


can't wait to come back to put some more points... yehey!!! Thanks to lyn, and yvette for always making my nails as posh as ever... miss them... :)

Rachel Getting Married

I just love this film, it's so meaningful, and the family issues are so true... i can so relate... hahaha... being Anne Hathaway...

I love how Anne Hathaway throws the one-liners, it's insulting, irritating but touches emotions... meaningful...

I love how the movie showed that there is forgiveness.

I must agree, that the last person to leave us no matter what happens, is our family...and we can always depend on them no matter what...

This movie is a must-watch... no doubt why Anne won a Best Actress award here... love it...

Cheers! Lots of love.

Heart Ache, Heart Break.

I was talking to my bestfriend cuz, just now and I heard about her recent break-up with a long term BF.... I feel sad... I cried... I wish I was there to hug her... I know how much it hurts... been there, done that, as they say...

I really hate break-ups, kahit ano pang dahilan, kasi i think it's like making you believe there's always a happy neding then turns out there isn't... it's sad... it's just so sad...

but in cases like these, there's always ice cream, movies, tequila, pizza, shopping, chatting and a lot of cuddling to make things feel normal, lighter and easier to handle...

heartbreaks are hard, sad and shocking, but it is also worth because of all the lessons learned...

Lesson Learned: once we give our heart to someone, we also give them the right to break it... :(

lots of love, Josh.
