something for valentines

I've always wanted to write something about valentines...

Sabi nila Christmas season daw ang season ng highest rate ng suicide. Kasi nga naman if you're alone in this world, no one to make your Christmas merry with, eh di parang ikaw na ang pinaka-kawawang tao sa mundo! Parang napakalaking torture nun na while everyone is busy with the preaparation of the gifts, foods ans activities, ikaw nag-iisa. And I believe Valentines has the same effect...

Though last year's Valentines day was wonderful, kwento ko kung gaano ako ka-bad-trip nung February 14 of 2003.

Feb 13 2003 PM :: I went with my friends to the UP Fair, four of us. hehe that was my first appearance in the UP Fair, and hopefully not the last. Sa mga nakakatanda dun sa pink shawl ko, I bought it that night. Hinde masyadong maganda ang end ng fair ko dahil nagkaasaran yung dalawang kasama ko.

Feb 14 2003
AM :: Syempre pretty ako. hmm... sa pagkakatanda ko I was wearing a sleeveless blouse tapos knee length skirt... nagrecite pa nga ako nun sa PI100 class ko and would you believe, napansin ako nung bading kong teacher ha... sabi nya maganda daw sa mga babae ang nag-si-skirt! hahaha

LUNCH TIME:: Nakita ko si Jon dun sa parking space ng CS tapos sabi ba naman, "Hayy.. Kaw lang ang pretty na nakita ko na walang dalang flower".... Tama ba yun??? Na-flatter nga ako na pretty ako, sabay banat naman na wala akong flower! Tapos wala kaming class nun, nag-brown-out pa kaya di na natuloy ang class after lunch.

around 2PM :: sinamahan ko si Jon sa flowershop para kunin yung inorder nyang blue rose.... tama ba naman na habang pababa ng stairs sa EEE na may nagtitinda ng rose, ang sabi sakin, "gusto mo bili kita ng rose?" grrr.... pero ok pa rin ako... composed....

around 4PM :: hayyy... my knight appeared at last! he asked me kung ano ang plano na ko, hehe dahil Friday nun, sabi ko uuwi (Cavite). Tapos nung naglalakad na kme from EEE papuntang AS he asked me if I want to watch a movie. Syempre sabi ko, okey! Kaso nung nasa MRT na kami sa Quezon Ave, may unfortunate event kaya ayun umuwi na nga lang ako ng Cavite at sya, umuwi ng bahay nila. He gave me chocolates naman....

mega-bad-trip ako lalo nung umuwi ako ng bahay seeing nobody's home. grrrrr.... pagbukas ko ng TV syempre telenovela ang kasama ko sa bahay. Tapos may nakita akong velentines card para sa akin from someone na hindi ko naman trip. Tapos pagdating ng sis ko she handed me a chocolate bar galing daw dun sa nagbigay ng card... kainis... yung taong gusto mong kasama sa okasyon na yon at gumawa sayo ng mga sweet nothings for the sake of the occassion wala sa tabi mo.

my knight called to check that i'm safely home and to apoligize, hindi naman ako galit pero deep in my heart may inis... umiiyak nga ako sa inis e... although i know mali na i-entertain ko pa yung inis ko

here's something daw para gumanda ang lovelife.. yung Love Potion Number 9.... funny para sa akin ang song na ito, sinama ko na rin ang recipe hehe... pero nde ko pa na-try kung effective... kailangan ko pa ba nyan???! hehehe ^_^



LOVE POTION #9
To be performed on the 9th day of the 9th month.
(But you can try it anytime - who knows?)

· 9 oz. sweet red wine
· 9 basil leaves
· 9 red rose petals
· 9 cloves
· 9 apple seeds
· 9 drops vanilla extract
· 9 drops strawberry juice

By the light of 9 pink votive candles, put these nine ingrediants into a cauldron on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year.
Stir the potion nine times with a wooden spoon, each time reciting the following:

LET THE ONE WHO DRINKS THIS WINE
SHOWER ME WITH LOVE DIVINE.
SWEET LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE
MAKE HIS/HER LOVE FOREVER MINE.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes.
Remove the cauldron from the heat and allow the potion to cool off.
Blow nine times upon the potion, bless it in the names of nine love-goddesses, (see below) and then strain it through a cheesecloth into a clean container.

The nine goddesses: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Hathor, Nephthys, Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Arianrhod.



Love Potion Number 9
~ Beatles


I took my troubles down to Madame Rue.
You know that gypsy with the gold capped tooth
She’s got a pad down on 34th and Vine,
Selling little bottles of Love Potion #9.

I told her that I was a flop with chicks.
I’ve been disgraced since 1956.
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign.
She said what you need is Love Potion number 9.

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink.
She said I’m gonna make it up right here in the sink.
It smelled like turpentine, and looked like Indian ink.
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink!

I didn’t know if it was day or night.
I started kissing everything in sight.
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine.
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion number 9.

INSTRUMENTAL

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink!

I didn’t know if it was day or night.
I started kissing everything in sight.
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine.
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion number 9.

Love Potion #9...
Love Potion #9...
Love Potion #9...

A Movie to Check Out for Valentine's:
The Notebook...it is the sappiest movie ever! It's very Bridges of Madison Countyesque except instead of old Clint Eastwood, you have young and totally dashing Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (both Canadian by the way!)
If you're into a weepy romance this is a MUST SEE!
