My kind of day. wahehe...literally, because of my dorky sister here home for the weekend super nadala ang whole family sa UAAP Season 70. wahehe. At first, I wasnt really all that for the game but when I watched the ADMU-LA SALLE game last thursday, I found myself screaming when Chris Tiu made that winning score!
So, at 3pm in the afternoon yesterday..everyone here was wearing blue to support admu. And I have to say..super nadala ako and because my blue stuff were put into use..yes..I was wearing blue (including my undies ha. bwahaha.) Ipe was the only one wearing green...even Onn2 was wearing a blue shirt noh. =p
It was a good game but sadly, admu lost to la salle (booo!!!). After 5 siopaos, 5 bags of junkfoods and 5 coke lights; and with a much efforted "placard", pompoms and blue outfits...we lost. Hearing and seeing dad laughing his ass off...and giving us a mean grin...we actually did lose...*bleh* (btw, dad's cheering against admu coz they beat UST. wahehe..eh dad's a ust alumni.) kung si ate...si Ipe ang dahilan kaya natalo ang admu..for me, si Daddy ang dahilan. wahehe.
It was a memorable day though. Super bulabog sa bahay. wahehe. (The last time kami ganito was a Ginebra-San Miguel Game nung 90's. wahehe.) Hope it'll be like this again next year. (^____^)
My friend sis Myka texted me this quote a day ago. Wala lang..I just
found it quite inspiring. wahehe..right timing talaga pagtext niya eh.
wahehe..Tnx sis. 
One of the lessons life taught me
these past few days...
...is to let go of the people
who cannot treat you
right...
...don't bother to waste time
pleasing them...
...and hold on to those who
love you back...
...because they are the ones
who are much worth of
your time...
of your love...
A great life is all about doing
something rare.
To Cherish without comparing.
To Forgive without blaming.
and
To Love without counting the cost.
How to spot my fake
family..wahehehe..inspired by how to spot my fake friends of my sister.
Kapag walang magawa talaga..wahehe...Spin-off na 'to sa Fake Friends. 
Mommy:1. Kung hindi siya nakasuot ng apron, hindi si Mom yan.
2. 'Pag hindi siya tumatagay ng Black Coffee (as in..klaro ha..BLACK!) kahit isang araw..hindi namin Mom yan.
3. Kapag mahina/mahinhin ang boses niya...waahh...boo! peke! hindi talaga namin nanay yan...Hindeee!!! (bwahaha.)Daddy:1. Kapag hindi siya bumibirit ng Bee Gees songs or khit anu man na kanta na may high notes...hindi si Daddy yan.
2. Kapag kinanta nya ang "War" ng tama ...hindi talaga si Daddy yan...("Wah..Hu..Ye..Watisit a good por..ambsulutely notin!")
3. Kapag wala siyang sinasabi/ginagawa na kapalpakan...hindi namin Daddy yan..korny..ibalik niyo tatay namin. wahehe.Kuya/Ahiya/Bro/Dork:1. Kapag hindi siya updated sa mga latest na tsismis sa showbiz world/teleserye o kahit anu man na napalabas sa Abs-Cbn...hindi namin kapatid yan.
2. Kapag wala siyang gana kumain...hindi talaga namin brother yan.
3. Kapag pumayat or payat siya...COME ON!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!! bwahahaha..hindi namin brother yan..Yeah, right! Sinu niloko mo, ha!?!? 
Ate/Ahchie/Sister/Dork#2:
1. Kapag masinop na siya sa gamit at pera..hindi yan ang dork na sister ko.
2. Kapag marunong na siyang magsuklay or konsyus na konsyus sa buhok nya..hindi ko kapatid yan.
3. Kapag walang topak...bwahaha...super hindi ko kapatid yan...hindi yan posibol!!! noooo!!!!
Ceasar/Onn2: (extended family na yan..wahehe)
1. Kapag hindi na siya camera shy/magpapicture siya ng solo at marunong siya magpose..hindi na c Onn2 yan.
2. Kapag ang tawa niya hindi na "ah-yihihihihi"...hindi na yan c Onn2.
3. Kapag nagger/madaldal na siya...hindi na talaga si Onn2 yan! ibalik niyo syota ko. wahehehe.
In-In:
1. Kapag hindi siya marunong tumayo with just her 2 feet at yumakap sa paa ng mga tao...hindi si In-In yan.
2. Kapag pumayag siyang umupo sa likod ng kotse and hindi sa tapat ng aircon...hindi talaga si in-in yan.
3. Kapag may napangitan/naasar sa kanya..hindi na talaga si In-In...super hindi siya yan! =p

wahehe...wala lang...Onn2 and I celebrated our 6th Monthsary last Friday, Sept 21. Hayaan niyo nalang ako..wahehe...cheesy lagi but I really treasured this date. We had a simple but nice celebration...as long as we have a great conversation..I'm happy with that. Really happy that day coz we were able to talk bout stuff we dont usually talk about. wahehe..dami parin mga binuang and as usual, dapat may pictures!!! (^_____^)
It really is time to stop fooling ourselves.
To stop from believing that we truly had the capability.
To stop feeding our egos and accept the fact.
Learn to listen and actually EXPLAIN before a COMPLAIN. (salamat joey de leon)
Have the decency to face one another and lay out the cards.
To start on thinking about the people that worked their asses off to start and build this.
Stop thinking about pride but HUMILITY.
Where is this all leading to?
I am a sick and tired of this kind of GAME.
Its time for silence, for peace, for solitude, for REAL FUN.
And I believe, I cant find anymore here,
I found it once here but now it is gone.
We played a part to this, we weakened it, we destroyed it, we killed it.
And now, its time to bid goodbye.
Farewell to a once that brought me smiles and laughter.
So long to the SPIRIT we all had once.
And finally, please stop the HYPOCRACY and hand washing...it is not helping at all.
We all had enough of the Julius Caesar attitude here. (julius macasaet & ceasar uy, ndi kyo 2 ha. wahehe)
I cannot continue to be an instrument of destruction.
Something I have also been once an instrument of its birth and growth.
How can a development be that hard to accomplish?
To something that had already been started by somebody else.
I wave my white flag. I am sorry to leave but I believe it is my time to go.
I am sorry if you feel I have abandon you all.
It hurts to leave in this way but my heart is no longer here.
My heart is still in the sport but that sport is not here anymore.
I want to leave the drama.
I want to leave with great memories of you all.
No more taking sides.
No more stress.
No more hurting one another.
No more words to be said.
I hope with my exit, an entry of realization will come into your hearts.
The ESSENCE of it all has wither and so will I with it....
I am sorry to the OPPOSITION...
I am sorry to the ADMINISTRATION...
I now play as an independent candidate now..
I wish goodluck to all and I hope you do the same to the others.
I hope you will all cherish the fun and unforgettable memories with us as a team.
As I will always cherish the laughter, the fun, the craziness, that we all had together as a team.
*bow*
As a parting gift..here's a video tribute for us all:
http://www.viddler.com/explore/mae-an/videos/1
Hope everyone enjoys this video as I enjoyed making it.
Looking back and taking on that memory lane really made my heart go soft for the love of the game.
I am quite worried for posting.
I hope nobody gets offended by this.
As my only intention is for us to remember the great times we had all together.
Peace ya'll.
Totally wicked dude! bwahahaha. What a weekend it was. Friday night was
one unique movie watching night. Super back-to-back movie marathon kami
ni Onn2...hindi sa dvd ha..as in sa sine talaga! bwahahaha...mga buang
lagi! Hinabol namin ang 8pm showing ng 28 Weeks Later sa NCCC Mall and then after that sugod naman kmi sa Cinema 2 for the last full show of Transformers
at 10pm where Ipe, Tatit & Rob are waiting for us in the super
looong line. wahehe..oh! and we watched Transformers in IMAX!!!
yes...IMAX!!! dito sa DAVAO!!! bwahahaha...all you have to do is to sit
at the 2nd row of the cinema! grbe..feeling mo matatapakan ka ng mga
robots! bwahahahahaha....stiff neck and medj sakit sa mata but ok parin
namin ang movie watching namin! It was really a first for us, that we watched two movies in a row.
Advice:
Dont do it! wahehe..you won't appreciate the movies that much because
you'll be confused on which movie you liked the best. wahehe...esp if
two diff genre yun. Funny pa though coz when the Transformers started I was still hooked up with 28 Weeks Later that I expected zombies would suddenly appeared on screen. bwahahahaha....walang connect lagi!
Da best yun ha...Zombies vs the Autobots! wahehehe...i-imagine mo si
Optimus Prime kalaban mga virus-infected zombies!!! bwahahaha..lingawa
oi?!?!? 
Oh...and additional sa Weekend Madness ko was that I can drive na!!
Dahil wala akong magawa sa aking
life...at palapit na ang 2nd monthsary ng injured kong paa. Ito ang
maliit na tribute po sa aking paa. I listed top 10 things I missed ever
since I got injured.
wahehe...ndi
madrama ito..and infairness..dhil camera-shy ako..wid matching pictures

Naisip ko ito salamat sa
dalawang intern na PT students sa Rehab center na nagbabantay sa akin
while i was doin an exercise. Ang pinagusapan nla habang hawak ang
crutches ko ay kahit daw nakacrutches cya ay gigimik parin cya...ahem,
ito lang ang masasabi ko syo 'dong...itry dyud..itry!

right foot.)
8. I miss standing normally.
(oh yess...cympre..nakakamiss tlga ang tumayo ng walang
crutches noh!)
7. I miss
swimming. (tama nga sila..you'll never know what you have
until u lost it..but
technically..ndi naman nwala ang paa ko noh..thank god! but still
being deprived of using
ur right foot..i soon missed swimming.)
6. I miss goffin

mga nagbasa nitong post na ito. Salamat po at pinagtiyagaan niyong
basahin. bwahahaha....sana ay may natutunan kyo sa post kong ito.
bwahaha..char! milagro dyud kung meron!
There's always a saying in tagalog: "Kapag nadapa ka, bumangon ka
ulit". (ok..i cnt remember it in english..wahehe). Well, I always
believe in that saying but with the situation I went through...it was
definitely impossible.
Last
April 19, Thursday..oh what a day it was. It was the night I fell down
and just couldn't get up with my two feet. yeah..literally! I had my
first ever injury! Me!?!?! Seriously! I was the most conscious in the
team, I don't want to be injured ever..and how ironic, I actually got
injured while doing a drill..take note: the 1st drill of the night, the
1st try and my 1st training after more than 3 weeks of abscence!
All I can do rather than cry was laugh my ass off. It happened while
doin a drill where we have to run and jump (thanks, Anton! *sarcastic
tone*)
and unfortunately, I jumped as high as I could and landed with my foot
folded and it caught my fall and then we heard a *crack*.
I
was down on the ground and all we did was laugh, I guess we all thought
it was just a small sprain. My teammates even said "Welcome back, Mae"
referring that it was just the Tionko Field's way of welcoming me back.
I just sat on the bamboo bleachers...thinking that I'll be back after
one week...and that atleast I would still be able to go to Bora. After
an hour of just sitting, we suddenly realized that my ankle was really
swelling, not the typical bruise. We were still laughing.."Hubag na
tlga ako!" I proudly said. 
However,
there was just something abnormal with my ankle. It was totally huge.
It's was like some little gremlin would suddenly pop out of it. So,
Cesar and I decided to go to the hospital and have a X-ray.
It
was laughter all and up to the way at the hospital as Cesar had to
carry me on his back. The people in the ER was questioning us if there
was a problem 'coz we looked like we were just playing around. When I
pointed down my ankle...they were shocked at how big the swelling was.
Everything just happened too fast. I was sitting in a wheelchair, Cesar
had to pay for the X-ray, I was brought to the X-ray room, my family
arrived, the doctor explained w/ the x-ray on her hand that I got a
fracture & there's a big possibility that I would have an
operation, they called the ortho doctor, an IV was injected, i wasn't
allowed to eat or drink anything unlike the next day, the er doctor put
a cast on my foot, I was laughing
the whole time knowing that my plans for bora are down the drain &
my mom actually scolded me because I was laughing, I was brought to my
room and got settled.
I was just there in my room, with nurses
going in and out of my room. A lot of needles was being stuck in my
arms but not a single tear rolled my eyes. I was pretty shocked because
I always cringe and cry at a sight of a needle. I don't know maybe I
was just in a happy mood (aka high na sa droga na tinuturok sakin!
bwahaha) the whole night that I wasn't worried what would happen to me.
My fears were conquered! wahehe...what a weird way to conquer it. 
The next day, I didn't have much sleep as nurses still came in and
out of my room several times. As early as 7am, I met my ortho doctor,
when he saw the x-ray and explain to us (as if i understand what he
explained bout my foot
) he then asked me when
was the last time I ate and drank anything...when he learned it was
over 12 hours, he then asked me if I was ok to have the operation 1pm
that afternoon. Calmly, I agreed...I just want it to be over with. Wahehe.
My
operation went like a breeze...I felt totally nothing as I was put into
sleep even before I was able to leave my room and woke up in the O.R
and it was done. phew! I was still in a daze and felt like I was in a
dream. wahehehe..it's like one of those scenes in the movies or tv
where you see the light in the OR and you see the doctor's face with
the mask in your face asking you something yet you just don't get it. Everything was a blur.
I
remember that a highschool classmate approached me at the Recovery room
and asked me..but I can't remember who it was because I was really high
that time. bwahaha. so kung sino man yun, Thanks ha! bwahaha..sana ndi
ka kasama dun sa O.R.
I just can't believe how two weeks can make you feel that you're life
has totally changed. In my part...it was a lot...so many changes that I
felt I just couldn't handle it all together, at the same time. It left
me stunned, confused...just watching everything happened in a snap. In
just two weeks, I saw my uncle lie in a bed in the ICU comatose, I
watched my cousin cry at her father's side, I realized that a person I
considered a friend really isn't, I experienced crying infront of a
teacher for a fault that wasn't even mine, I felt a sudden
anger/fear/envy all at the same time for an incident that left me so
helpless, I stopped temporarily for the sport that I truly love, I need
to grasp the fact that my dad would come home to Davao only a few times
now as he has to handle some important business in Zamboanga, I lost an
uncle after a week of his struggle from a stroke, I appreciated how
much our family (Lu clan) is tight especially at a time like this, I
introduced (for the first time!) someone special to my relatives, I was
faced with the reality that I am graduating a few days from now and
still haven’t started the path for my future due to the fact that I
can’t discuss business now with my dad as he is away from home, and
finally I am now at the point of learning to accept that I am to leave
the old routines of my life and face a new one, a totally different one.
This is reality…my reality, away from the comfort zone that I am used
to. Away from the flow of life that I only go along with. No more
summer vacations, no more semester breaks, no more Christmas breaks and
other school activities. I know everyone goes or will go through with
it but I can’t believe that a lot of things happened in my life all at
once. Before the month of March came, I had tons of plans after I
graduate…I was actually excited to leave school but what happened?
Where did the enthusiastic Mae-an gone through? How can I get ME back
on my feet and start on this journey? I suddenly felt lost…suddenly
questioning what would happen to me after I graduate? Fear had gotten
the best of me.
As I ponder on these thoughts, it left me
hopeless for awhile. However, after today, I know I can do it. With the
help of people I love, I know they will support me in my endeavor. I
know I can do it, all I needed was a reminder that it’s all alright and
that I can surpass it all. I can’t thank you enough for the support you
have always given me. I guess its all part of growing up and learning
how to deal with it. Jia You!
For those people who know me too well, they'll be shock for the change
that I did a week ago. I finally had my hair chopped! A move I don't
normally do but something just made me feel that it is about time.
I have never felt more like a new person. The new 'do really suited me,
well, not just by what people say but that's what I also felt. Whenever
I had my haircut in the past, I'd always have this over-reacting
tantrums (ask Sandy). I'll totally do a drama and not stop ranting of
whether to cut my hair or not..and in the end, I'll only have it cut
for about a couple of inches (sa mga pbb adik: remember Say?
grbe..ganun dyud ako...iiyak pa!).
(The New 'do) Right
now, a drastic change was really made for my hair. (in the words of my
hairdresser: "ayan, hindi ka na c Marina, c Claudine ka na! ang habang
tlga nung hair mo...") Man! She was actually scared when she showed me
how long/much hair she's gotta cut off. All I said was: "OK!" then
*smiles*. Even I was shocked with my reaction! It was definitely MORE than what I normally would have asked to be cut.
My
new hair actually showed a new me. A few people had notice that I was
exuding a new aura. I don't just feel light (ang bigat ng buhok ko
eh..bwahaha) but it also made me feel that changes in my life doesn't
necessarily means changing myself and my principles/beliefs. Changes
also means improvements...giving myself a chance to have the balls to
face something new, to make more mature decisions and act more maturely.
