All for Tara Santelices

LET'S ALL PRAY FOR TARA SANTELICES

Word spreads around fast and almost everyone has already heard about what happened to our dear friend, Tara Santelices (Assumption Antipolo’s Batch 2003 and Ateneo de Manila University’s Class of 2007, AB Political Science).

On the eve of her 23rd birthday, Tara was shot in the head during a hold-up while riding a jeepney along Imelda Avenue, Cainta, Rizal. Joee Mejias, who was with her at that time, rushed her to Amang Rodriguez Memorial Hospital in Marikina City. The parents of Tara and Joee arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter. When morning came, Tara’s parents finally decided to transfer her to the Medical City, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City. Since 8:00am of August 6, Tara has been in the ICU fighting for her dear life. Her parents have decided not to push through with the operation.

Although it might seem that there is nothing else that we can do but wait for Tara to wake up from this horrific nightmare, we, the friends of Tara, have decided to raise funds for Tara’s hospital bills. This is the least we can do to ease the unbearable pain her family is going through. We have been given the go-signal from Tara’s dad, Tito Larry, and here are the details:

The temporary bank account is under Anne Marie F. Santelices, Banco de Oro, SA 2140-062201. For direct cash donations, please proceed to the ICU Waiting Room of the Medical City (Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City). Please look for Joee Mejias or Lila Santelices.

Any amount will be gratefully accepted. Anonymous donations are also welcome. Please spread the word. Forward this to your family, friends and even to everyone else you know. Please post this on Friendster, Multiply, Facebook and wherever else you can think of. Please send group messages on Yahoo Messenger. This will mean so much to us, her friends.

Please continue praying for Tara, for Joee and for both of their families. If you want to come see Tara, visiting hours at the ICU are at 9:00 am to 11:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Thank you so much for your time and kind consideration.

For inquiries, please contact Joee Mejias (09228154987) for calls and Jac Ledonio (09167243071) or Myka Francisco (09163695148) for text messages.

Hate to escape but...

hate to escape this obnoxious fact, but this is it folks, I just waved goodbye to womanism (hahahhahaha maniwala na kayo!). Ive been wanting to write a blog about this never-gonna-happen reality, but yeah...hell yeah..

i went to a blast party for women last saturday..i tell you it was hella good! i enjoyed it, (khet wasak na actually!). so went to mingle and saw some good faces, kakilala man or nagpakilala lang...pero ang heartbeat...NORMAL lang!

walang certain aroused feeling inside..steady lang! as i left the party, with the Schumacher type of atras-abante ng Starex, i waved goodbye to the used-to-be preference.

it felt good though, while still On-line and kicking with a Downelink account,



all for friendship and wholesome interaction na lang talaga!


cos the traffic lights told me to go Straight and move forward. :)

Less Baby Talks, Less Inis

Sa totoo lang mejo nabibingi na yung mata ko sa mga ganitong terms:
q - for ko
co - for ko
*** - ganitong etseBURATseng signs
~~~ - at eto pa


isip ko lang kung ako ay isang highskul-er or college student (pasintabi na lang at kanya kanyang opinion ito), sobrang baby talk sa'ken to.

kaka-irita lang minsan.

me ganito sa Real World e: gusto ko na ngang tanungin..
"Aba'y nasasapian ka ba ni Sto. Niño?" (Sori po Sto.Niño)


turn -off lang.

Hope people will somehow..Grow Up!

tumatanda lang talaga ako, naks, matured!

Dear Ina

Yup, nakuha ko ang text mo last Friday, boarding ka na pabalik ng Pinas...nagtaka ka kaya kung bakit I wasnt moved at all. Dahil sanay nako. Sa maraming beses na halos ganun lang ang communication natin. Text lang ang katapat ko. pasalamat pa nga at nauso iyon.

At ang weekend ko na sana ay iisang event lang ang inaasahan kong dadaluhan, naging Anim ng dahil sayo.
Dapat lunchtime ako gigising ng Sabado. Ngunit hindi, pinilit mo kong magbyahe from my place to yours ng 4am ng umaga. (buti nalng isang boteng beer lang nainom ko sa Pepeton's).At pagkatapos ano, para sabihing buti naman nakarating ka, mamaya ka na matulog at kelangan tayo sa kasal ng 7am..upang ano, pakantahin ako sa liblib na Chapel sa laguna?at maging host sa reception pagkatapos.
Cge, para sayo, ok lng saken yun.So salamat sa damit at sapatos, at konting idlip sa van mong malamig. Hindi pa pala natatapos ang bonding natin. Sinamahan pa kita sa amiga mo para magconcert na naman ako kasama ng quartet sa Ascott. buti nalng at nakaligo't toothbrush at make-up ako sa bahay mo,at ang sapatos ay slip-on, naitago ko ang toenails kong 1week ng walang proper pedicure.
So finally, we're back at the Fort, at pinasalamatan mo ako uli. "Nak, thank you lagi kang anjan pag kelangan ko ng singer!" Bukas uli sa Tagaytay Highlands, 1 kasal 1 club party at Singaporean party ang dadaluhan natin.
Daig ko pang nakidnap - dahil ang isang kidnapped, nagagawa pang tumawag sa bahay. Samantalang ako text lang ang katapat.
Alam mo kung ano laman?
"Pa, andito ako sa Essensa, alam mo na kung bakit. pag nagtanong c Ma, pakisabi, next week nako uuwi at andto ako kay...

Ninang."
