Four years ago,

1. I was a lanky 12 year old girl who was just finishing elementary.
2. I had a 24-inch waistline.
3. I was more or less, 4'9" in height.
4. I only brush, wash my face, and comb my hair for 5 minutes during lunch breaks before i go back to school.
5. Most of my things were big and bulky.
6. I was shy.
7. I wouldn't want to talk about boys.
8. I couldn't even finish 1 cup of rice in one meal.
9. I was enjoying nine hours of sleep everyday.
10. I can wear a pair of pants for two days, straight. hahaha!
11. I was writing friends via the snail mail.
12. Faith was a question. Religion was foreign.
13. Life was simpler.


Today,

1. I have put on weight.
2. My waist stretched a few inches more. My hair is straighter.
3. I grew taller.
4. I still brush, wash my face, and comb my hair before i go back to school.... but it already takes a lot more time and patience...
5. My things are now smaller in size and more handy.
6. I am still shy. Sometimes.
7. I'm already openminded when it comes to boys.
8. I can finish 3 cups in one meal if I'm really really hungry.
9. Nine hours of sleep is a miracle.
10. I own almost 10 pants but only use 5 regularly
11. Snail mail is already extinct. E-mail is the in thing. I do miss writing to friends though and collect those stamps.
12. Faith is not a question but religion is.
13. Simple life is a dream.


Indeed, in life, you win some, you lose some.
But life goes on. And it should go on.

9:01 PM





My so-called WEDDING! Hahahaha!


Of course Im joking! i just used that title because many were joking and asking me how was my wedding since I wore a white gown during the prom. Hahahaha! As usual, I didnt win but that didnt matter because I still enjoyed! Im listing some of the guys who danced with me (because if I listed all, I might not be able to finish it) with some comments... Of course, gagamit ako ng codenames noh! Hahahahaha!
----------------------------------------------------------------
mr. lifeguard (as in my savior! Haha!)
- God! Sobrang pasasalamat ko sa taong to! If not because of him, I might have been very grumpy the whole night... VERY great dancer and a real gentleman... and oh! He is my first dance... :)

mr. faucet
- faucet kasi sobrang pasmado yung kamay niya which gives the feeling na may hawak kang faucet... Hahahaha! He was my cotillion partner and pinakamaraming beses na nakasayaw ko... VERY gentleman and sweet... he made sure kasi na hindi ko makakasayaw si _____ ! hahahaha! thanks! :)

mr. sadako
- wala lang...feel ko lang gamitin ung sadako… he lost kasi his "RING" (gets?) that night but im pretty sure he still enjoyed… syempre! Andyan si *beep eh... bwahahahaha! Nag change costume pa siya ah! Wow! Bongga! Hehehe! In fairness, he looked sooooooo decent and eye-catching that night... Two thumbs up!

mr. mayonnaise
- mayonnaise kasi lady's choice ko siya... when we were dancing, nainis kami because the song was so lame and ang boring din naman kasi kung for almost 4 minutes na same step ung ginagawa... so what we did was we went couple-hopping... meaning, nang-inis at nangantsaw kami ng mga sumasayaw! Hahahahaha! Laugh trip to the max!

mr. lambot ng hands
- great dancer and very gwapo... Nagpapastarring pa kami sa mga judges tapos biglang nabangga namin yung dalawa teachers... as in bangga! hahahaha! Kaya siguro di kami nanalo (since candidate din siya)! Hahahaha! I love dancing with him kasi sobrang talkative and fun to be with...

mr. pangit ang hands
- pangit ang hands... BUT good-looking (pagbigyan) at mabait naman... uuuyyyy! Flattered! Hahahaha! Thanks pala for telling me about the you-know-what ha! Buti nalang sinabi mo! Hanep! Grand slam ka ah! Ilang awards na natanggap mo? Hahahaha!

mr. favorite dance
- sa kanya talaga ako nag-enjoy not only because we danced a fast beat tune but sobrang nakakatuwa lang talaga siya... he was always smiling and magalang (since I'm older)... great guy!

mr. hangin
- when I was dancing with him, I was kind of afraid to move too much kasi baka maihangin siya sa sobra niyang gaan... hahahaha! Very funny guy and sport kasi hindi siya napipikon kahit na inaasar ko na... hehehe! Salamat!

mr. out of tempo
- actually, dalawa kami ang wala sa tempo… kasi naman noh, mahirap lang talaga sayawin yung kanta kasi medyo fast beat siya then suddenly magiging slow... Hahahaha! Pero enjoy parin siyempre.. up to now, I still believe he didn't win any of the awards that night... and even the previous year... Dapat nanalo siya! He deserves it... naks! Hahahaha!

mr. last dance
- for a minute or two, nainis ako sa kanya that night... but I realized na hindi dapat kasi kahit na meron man siyang kinalaman dun sa incident, that wouldnt be enough to erase all the good deeds he had done for me... at the end, bumawi rin siya and saved me from eternal doom... hahahaha! Drama! Thanks!


---------------------------------
To all the guys (na-mention ko man o hindi), thanks for the wonderful night!

my beloved classmates... ;)


8:43 PM





...ang aking talumpati....


just this morning, i delivered my speech in front of my classmates which is a part of our requirements in filipino... hereunder is the speech i made to honor my classmates... viva iv-SLR! hahaha!

Halos sampung buwan na ang nakakalipas at ngayo’y andito na tayo sa sitwasyon kung saan hindi natin inakalang mararating ng ganito kabilis. Marami akong ala-ala sa mga taong mananatili sa aking puso hanggang sa aking pagtanda. At halos lahat ng ala-alang ito ay naranasan ko sa inyong mga piling.
Inaamin ko na kapag iniisip ko ang aking buhay sa kolehiyo, hindi ko maalis ang takot na nadarama ko. I’ll never be able to take away the heavy feeling I’ll always have in my heart. Ang rason? Kayo, aking mga kamag-aral at mga kaibigan.
Mahal kita Gela sapagkat alam ko na andyan ka lagi sa tabi ko at handang tumulong sa akin. Salamat sa pasensya mo sa pagtuturo sa akin sa Math lalo na kung hindi ako nakakasunod sa leksyon at sa paghatid o pagsundo mo sa akin kung wala akong sasakyan. Mahal kita Chiqui dahil sa iyong “charisma” at pakikisama magmula pa noong kindergartners tayo. Kapag darating ang panahon na pipili si David Beckham mula sa ating dalawa, ipangako natin sa isa’t-isa na hindi natin ito hahayaang makasira sa ating pagkakaibigan. Salamat Gelo dahil naging tapat ka sa ating pagkakaibigan at salamat rin sa laging pagtanggap mo sa amin sa inyong tahanan at pagpapadama na parte na kami ng inyong pamilya. Mahal kita Veronica sapagkat ikaw ay totoo at sensitibo sa mga tao sa paligid mo. Pangako ko na solid parin tayo kahit na mapasaiyo na si Japoy Lizardo. Nakatatak na sa utak ko Donna na ikaw ay isang matapang na babae. Ikaw ay tunay na maganda, matalino, at mabait na tao kaya’t hayaan mo na lamang ang mga taong naiinggit at gustong sumira sa iyo. Lagi akong andito para tulungan at suportahan ka. Mahal ko kayo Kier at Myron dahil nalagpasan ninyo ang sunod-sunod na apat na taong mag-klasmeyts tayo. Ang buhay ko bilang high school student ay hindi magiging ganito ka-memorable kung wala kayong dalawa.
Para sa aking mga kasalakuyan at mga naging katabi sa sili- aralan: kay Judith, Winda, at Louie, salamat sa paggising niyo sa akin kapag malapit na ang guro sa kinauupuan ko. Salamat Arnel sa walang sawa mong pakikisabay sa akin sa pagkanta kung nasa mood ako na gamitin ang aking sintunadong boses at sa pagtago sa mga sikreto ko. Kay Roent, salamat sa lagi mong pagpapasaya at pagpapatawa. Kung kausap kita, para bang ang gaan lahat ng aking mga problema dahil sa iyong pagkakwela. Kay Renwick naman, nagpapasalamat ako sa sinabi mo noon na hindi mo kayang mainis sa akin, kahit na alam kong nagiging sobra na ang pagiging bossy ko. Alam kong hindi madali ang mga pinapagawa ko sayo kaya’t dapat mong malaman na noon pa’y mas timbang ang good traits kaysa bad traits mo. Sa inyong anim, salamat sa pagtitiis ninyo sa akin kahit na kung minsan ay childish at makulit ako.
Maraming salamat Armin sa pakikinig mo sa aking mga kuwento ukol kay Chris Tiu at pagtatama sa aking pamamaraan ng pag-upo at pagtayo kung nakikita mong pangit ang mga galaw ko. Mahal ko kayo Bea at Katya dahil ipinakita ninyo sa akin na posible talagang maging kikay at the same time matalino ang isang tao. Huwag kayong magkaila na ipakita ang inyong talento sa pagsulat dahil nakikita kong kayo’y magiging matagumpay na manunulat. Mahal kita Mia dahil sa iyong pagiging smart at masiyahing tao. Ikaw talaga ang nakakapangiti sa akin kung masama ang pakiramdam ko. Mahal ko kayo Pearl at Carol hindi lamang dahil sa inyong angking talino, kundi pati narin sa inyong sense of humor at magandang pakikisama. Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa lagi kong panunukso sa inyo. Mahal ko kayo Charistele at Lovely dahil sa inyong pasensya. Salamat sa hindi niyo pagrereklamo kung tinatawag ko kayo para ayusin ang estilo ng buhok ko. Nagpapasalamat ako Joyce dahil hindi mo ako pinapagalitan kapag hindi ko nagagawa ang mga tungkulin ko bilang CBS officer. Proud ako dahil natitiis mo ang lahat ng utos at sermon ng moderator natin. Mahal ko kayo Gaylord at Marvin dahil sa inyong napakadaming talento. Hanggang ngayon, si Gaylord parin ang bet ko na best actor, best singer, at best dancer sa kahit anumang paligsahan samantala best in Arts at best cotillion dancer naman si Marvin. Salamat Marynell, Kaye, Jenny, at Ningning sa inyong ipinakitang kabutihan sa akin at patawad sa lahat na naging kasalanan ko sa inyo. Kay Lean, Christopher, Amon, at Clifford, alam kong maswerte ang mga babae na iniibig ninyo dahil kayo ay tunay na mapagmahal at mababait na tao. Nagpapasalamat ako sa napakabuting pakikisama ninyo sa akin. Mahal ko kayo Christian, Jennifer, Joyreina, Dianne, Ernalyn, at Christine dahil sa maraming tulong na naibigay niyo sa akin. Salamat sa pagkakaibigan at sa pagtulong niyo sa akin sa paggawa ng props para sa Intramurals noon. Mahal ko kayo Paola, Teresa, Irene, Sheena, at Bonna dahil sa inyong pagka-kalog at sense of humor. Kung kayo man ay gagawing menu, kayong lima ang makapaghahandog ng pinakamaraming variety dahil sa inyong mabuting ugali.
Kayong lahat ang tunay na nagbigay kulay sa aking buhay. Alam kong maaasahan at masasabi ko sa inyo ang bawat saya at lungkot ko without any fear that you would reject me or think of something bad about me. Sa buhay na ito, nakasama ko ang mga mabubuting tao na naging matagumpay sa pag-mold ng Golda Margareth Argel na nakikita niyo sa harap ngayon. Kayo ang aking kasama sa pagngiti, pag-iyak, pagtawa, pagmature, at paglaki.
Dahil dito, alam kong may mga kaibigan ako. Mga tunay na kaibigan na kakailanganin ko upang mabuhay, at tumagal sa mundong ito. Salamat. Dahil sa inyo, narito parin ako.

Golda Margareth Argel
November 13, 1988
Scorpio

It's stupid, actually, the process of describing oneself, because the ones whom you can describe yourself well to are often the ones who already know you. Anwyay. I'm a living paradox. I would like to have as many close friends as possible but sometimes, my hesitation to approach people gets the better of me. I love life and everything about it. I know what I want and I'm happy with what I have and I can't ask for anything more. My self-description above just proves how mixed up the properties of my brain's hippocampus and parietal lobe are, so just get to know me if you don't.

Golda dreams of:

  • traveling around the world
  • graduating college with honors
  • becoming rich minus the corruption
  • inventing something that's really useful
  • becoming either a CPA lawyer, ambassadress, dentist, or business tycoon

  • owning an island
  • knowing how to play at least 6 musical instruments
  • owning a mall

    Golda loves:

    sleep. blueberry cheesecake. carrot cake. ice cream. adventures. magazines and books. cheap thrills. computers. internet. creative stuff. desserts. family gatherings. fashion. food. foreign languages. freedom. fruitshakes. massages. movies. music. nature. basketball. tennis. sour gummy worms. thinking. stars. sleepovers.

    Golda hates:

    cigarettes. politics. corruption. being broke. crowded places. discrimination. drugs. expensive items with poor quality. fairweathered friends. gossips. late people. insensitive people. action movies. novelty songs. overconfidence. roaches. rats. superiority. unethical people. sleepless nights. kris aquino. showbiz controversies.
