PPF party12 rocked! it was my second time to go to that and there were lots of peeps when we got to the venue.  i brought my youngest sis along.  poor girl, she didn't sleep the whole night friday and the whole day saturday 'cuz of her thesis project and she also had classes.  she went home from pasig before 9 pm.  she went on to hitch a ride with my dad.  i on the other hand stayed 'til dawn.  we met at hunny's office, passed by the mega 'cuz hunny had to buy something for his deck (lands, and a few additional cards).  then, we hailed a taxi towards crisanta, the venune.  we arrived at 6 pm. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;we enjoyed the event.  good thing my sister was able to play on the DTX press before she headed home.  hunny on the other hand, was busy with the magic tourney, and me, with karaoke revolution \m/ woooooooooo~! 92% great rating on "always" harharhar!  duet with matt (&lt;a href="http://xtraryce.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://xtraryce.livejournal.com/"&gt;xtraryce&lt;/a&gt;).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;had my tarot fortune read by chii (&lt;a href="http://kamunduhan.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://kamunduhan.livejournal.com/"&gt;kamunduhan&lt;/a&gt;).  she immediately asked me, "what's wrong?" 'cuz it wasn't very positive.  it was about a conflict with a certain person.  well, it ain't my fault.  that's how it goes, especially if i don't like your character...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by 12am, my voice began to sound raspy and i was beginning to feel sleepy.  don't even have the strength to watch others playing on the DTX press.  i sat by hunny's side while they were playing magic (deevs, christen [&lt;a href="http://psychomadness.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://psychomadness.livejournal.com/"&gt;psychomadness&lt;/a&gt;], and edward [&lt;a href="http://thecomstarbaby.livejournal.com/profile"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://thecomstarbaby.livejournal.com/"&gt;thecomstarbaby&lt;/a&gt;], and him).  even when he was busy playing, he would still kiss my forehead from time to time while i lay my head on his shoulder. (^________^) when i really couldn't fight the drowsiness, i lay down on the mat they placed on one side of the room.  i couldn't sleep at first 'cuz i was shivering in the cold.  hunny went to get his jacket and draped it over me.  he lay down next to me when jake got up to play on the DTX. \(^________^)/  after a while, it was my turn again on the DTX and played for the last time.  even when i wasn't feeling well, i could still play a few games.  that's how much of an impulsive gamer i am...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;when everyone else left, we stuck around the place and waited for matt's dad to pick us up.  me, chii, matt, akira, and hunny waited 'til 4 am.  i think me and hunny slept in while we were waiting.  we arrived at matt's place at 5 am and went straight to sleep, except for akira, who was busy watching PPGZ...  we woke up at 9am and he accompanied me 'til i got a ride home.he went to my place in the afternoon, we went to church (not that we had a choice... (-_________-) ), rented some videos and watched "anak ni brocka" at home.  he went left for home at around 10pm.got button pins and additional stickers from PPF. weeeeeeeeeeee~!  looking forward to the next party... heehee...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(^______^) yay! free food again!  after dinner, hunny didn't feel like going home at all last night so i let him sleep over at my place.  he got to sleep in my room and i slept in the living room with mom and my sister.  as usual, we woke up early since my shift is at 6am.  he accompanied me to the office and went on to where he worked after (which is a few minutes away from mine...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, yeah.  i bought him a cool retro button-down shirt and it looks really nice.  waaaaaaah! can't wait to see him again!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;poor hunny went home at midnight, and he still had to hold a class early next morning... still we all had so much fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;monday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i woke up at around 10 am, feeling a bit lonely without my love beside me.  ate some lunch a two hours later, got ready and went to my hun's office and spent the rest of the day with him before going to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tuesday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;happy birthday, hunny!

the man who had, for the past few days, been worming his way into my heart. unable to keep my head from drooping with the lack of a good night's sleep, i lean onto his shoulder, trying to get some shut-eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a few minutes pass and turn into hours. i couldn't keep from opening my eyes to see where we already were. everytime i look at him, it seems like he's watching me, stroking my cheek and tucking a stray strand of hair from my face. he offers me his jacket, to shield me from the cool morning breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as we got to our destination, i just wanted to sleep more. besides, i still had work in the evening and i needed all the rest i could get. the host allowed me to sleep in a room. i slept for only a few minutes. i kept trying to open my eyes to see him watching me, stroking my forehead, my cheek, my hands, my arms. i couldn't fall into deep slumber. i could feel the weight of his gaze. when i finally decided against trying to get back to sleep, i felt his fingers entwining mine. i felt his face hovering inches from mine. i could've sworn he was just going to kiss the tip of my nose. when i felt his lips grazing across mine, it spoke of words louder than an avalanche. i couldn't help but ride a raging wave of emotions that came rushing in on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then he sang a song...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I ever betray your trust?&lt;br /&gt;Did I ever let you down?&lt;br /&gt;Did you ever find yourself&lt;br /&gt;Feeling like you were so low&lt;br /&gt;Just waiting by the window&lt;br /&gt;You know I'm like your shadow&lt;br /&gt;And you know that I'll never let you go away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can tell when you're feeling bad&lt;br /&gt;I know just what makes you mad&lt;br /&gt;I can even guess what you’ll say&lt;br /&gt;Long before you've spoken&lt;br /&gt;Your secret code is broken&lt;br /&gt;But you don't have to worry&lt;br /&gt;'Cause I'll be right here Like an echo&lt;br /&gt;On your side&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I’m Dedicated to you, girl&lt;br /&gt;'Cause you're the center of my world&lt;br /&gt;I promise you it's forever&lt;br /&gt;You'll never have to look for love again&lt;br /&gt;I'm dedicated to you, girl&lt;br /&gt;Sodon't you ever be afraid&lt;br /&gt;I'll always be right beside you&lt;br /&gt;I never wanna lose you&lt;br /&gt;My only love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I ever step on your dreams?&lt;br /&gt;Did I ever keep you down?&lt;br /&gt;Don't you think it seems&lt;br /&gt;Like I'm in love with you so badly&lt;br /&gt;So truly and so madly&lt;br /&gt;This is my dedication&lt;br /&gt;And my whole life&lt;br /&gt;Is what I'm gonna&lt;br /&gt;Dedicate to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was so happy i cried... he was surprised that i did. it made me realize that i did feel the same way he did and it was all i could do. we both felt like high school kids. i never thought it would be possible that i would find someone like him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i thought that i was in-love with another guy just a few weeks ago, but this time it's different. i hope this lasts forever if that would be possible. i hope and pray that i have finally found my other half...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
