madalang na talaga..

di pa ko nakakapagkape lately. i think for a month already. at ung last na yun e weeks ang sinundan nun. di na talaga ko nagkakape halos. closest i got to coffee was a pack of XO coffee candies.

di kasi maganda effect ng caffeine sa akin. but i still enjoy coffee. kahit aroma lang.

tagal ko na rin di nakakapagbrowse online about the latest sa kung anu-ano. for today, nagbrowse muna ako sa latest sa fashion. eto nahagilap ko.of course, inuna ko usisain ang sa Dolce&Gabbana.

not really sure kung eto ang main trend for summer 08. pero eto lang ang natipuhan ko sa collection. i like the prints, yung color combination pati. given na floral prints are feminine, masculine pa rin ang dating dahil sa color nung prints mismo.

next set, John Galliano for summer 08. take note: shorts/pants lang pansinin.

Galliano's pansin ko e ma theme parati. more like work of art kasi ang Galliano's. summer 08's theme, mukhang Japanese military. i'm not really sure, pero yun ang nakikita ko. merong isang piece, wala sa mga photos, resembles a samurai ensemble. mukhang Galliano's interpretation of japanese warriors either ancient period or Worldwar times. still, i love the pants/shorts, at okay lang sa kin isuot un sa kalsada.

next in line:
Moschino for summer 08.

if i wanna look like a candy, moschino's the piece to wear. siguro bagay to sa new year, lalo na ung red tops and mala-polkadots star prints. haha! gusto ko rin ung prints. i doubt though kung kaya ko magsuot ng ganyang tipo, top to bottom. too sweet. kakaumay tingnan.

on a different note, nag-improve na tong blogspot since i've posted here. mas madali na. less hassle. meron nang autosave at mas madali na mag-upload ng pics. i still use html tags from photobucket, pero madali na ring magpost using ung image uploader ng blogspot. saya. buti di narecover ko pa account ko dito.

kahit na may lj at multiply blogs na di ko pa rn maiiwan ang blogspot ko. syempre, dami na rin napagsamahan e.

next time, post pa ko dito. try ko mapadalas, at least once a month.
i don't know for my coffee intake though. baka tuluyan na kong di magkape. for medical reasons.
wooooh.

i'm in front of the pc so early, yet nothing of importance to be done. no homework (meron...but i'm lazy to do it) to be done here. i've just been online for a day yesterday, surfing wouldn't be much of a great deal today. updated my multiply account, friendster. gusto ko man i-post to sa eljay ko, kaso makakailang dagdag post na naman ako dun sa isang ~~oras~~ araw lang...it'll be messy.

yesterday..i have so many mental post-its stuffed in my head. "i'll blog about this...ooh! don't forget to post about this...it'll be nice to talk about that in my journal..." blahblah blah.

sobrang naeengganyo ako magpost sa online journal/s ko, lalo na sa eLJay. maliban sa katatapos na prelims, sadyang wala akong mapagkaabalahan dito sa bahay. di ako lumalabas kasi naman...$$$. dvds?hmm..pinahiram ko kay karla ung 8-in-1 korean movies ko. tapos napanood ko na twice ung He's So Cool , 'cause i also have two copies of it. hollywood movies? i only enjoy Mr.&Mrs. Smith over and over again. other movies i have, like Brokeback Mountain and Munich, are good to see only once. maybe i'm just currently hooked up with korean flicks.

yesterday, i was enjoying this korean show, Sponge. izo coool! ahehehe...and hilarious. and you'll learn a great deal of trivial things.did you know that baby cows french kiss after they're fed? and to be a queen during a certain era in korea, you must have a good appetite. interesting facts. good thing there were subtitles.

more to blog later...

[edited as of 9:07am, today]
just for you to have an idea how much i blog, i'll include a timestamp of today's post.

i'm eating toasted pandesal again. err..mamon pala to. hah! i didn't over-toast it this time. here's yesterday's post from my eLJay, regarding my toasted pandesals (kita ba? haha!):

matagaltagal na rin akong di nagdrama dito sa blog na to. and what i mean by nagdrama is blogging (publicly accessible) personal issues. ung mga issues na nakakapagpabagabag sa akin emotionally. usually i'd post it in me LJ because of it's security settings. pero, dahil isang lj-user din ung tutukuyin ko, naisip kong dito na lang. but of course, that person has the chance of coming across this post. i'm just aware na mas maliit ung chance dito compared to posting it in lj. not that i'm trying to "hide" it from that person"...

basta...tama na paliwanag. here goes..

what's so emotionally bothering about the above posted image of an MSN conversation? the fact that it was with that certain person...hearing/reading such line, the fact that it came from that person...
just makes me.. emotional. (no specific adjective in mind that shall best describe the "emotional effect").

an attempt to write something formal..but due to lack of 'inspiration'...

2006-07-28T23:14:00.000+08:00

can't make a good entry. the inspiration to rant and write in a artistic manner, is somewhere in the woods. it's lost. but of course, i'm hoping it'll return because i need it now!

waaah!!! still not finished with my powerpoint presentation because i can't write anything for the captions. i have to connect the random clips and pictures i've inserted and make something sensible out of it.but thanks to my prancing inspiration which is currently lingering and wandering in the woods, i have no time to tame another inspiration [out-of-nowhere] just to make a self-centered presentation of myself, my family and friends. arghh!!! i need that inspiration now 'cause i have to study for my monthly exam in chemLec for tomorrow! and i need to write a reaction paper about the president's ~~wishlist~~ SONA.

ooh! which reminds me about my PGCART prof. i met her early today though we're not supposed to meet until monday. we came across each other in the corridor and i came up to her to query about the react paper.

me: Ma'am, tanong ko lang po tungkol sa react paper about sa SONA..ma'am: ano un?me:ma'am pano po yun, wala naman binanggit about sa past and prese--[she cut me out]ma'am: teka, mr. dela cruz..[bigla ko kinabahan..dugdug]ma'am: ang ganda naman ng boses naten...nakakainlove. [whaaaat?]

honored! not flattered at all. i took it as a complete compliment. after our short conversation she reminded me of mam'mary san diego. she said the same thing, not word per word, back in 2nd year high school.

what's up with my voice? sana lang ganun, kung paano man ung pagkakarinig nila mam sandy at mam villenas, ..ganun parati boses ko. nakaka-inlove. definitely it'd be an ego boost! and of course...pantapat ko na rin sa boses ni ~~oomph~~ (di ko na magagamit ung codename dahil may nakakaalam na e..baka biglang magcomment dito at may masabing alanganin...º¬__¬)

oh noes!! a sudden mental whatever!sadya nga bang inihahalintulad ko ang sarili ko sa isang partikular na tao?oh noes!!
pero at least sa kanya ko kinukumpara sarili ko. kahit papano pwede na...competition pa rin.

damn! di na naman ako nakagawa ng matinong sulatin. as in ung may sinusunod na batayan ba. argh!!! sa susunod na nga lang.

fashionista post naman tayo...

2006-06-23T22:46:00.000+08:00

because this is my blog and i own it (redundant), i'm gonna post away.

a blockmate of mine keeps refering me as the fashionable one. and yes, i'm flattered. and yes, it gets to my attention how come she (a clue! though her identity will be kept anonymously) refers to me in such way. she even said i was a suave guy.."ang pinaka-suave na guy sa room.." she said. i told her that i find the other guys suave-r than me, "..dugyot nga ako e.." compared to the other guys, they have their straight,almost-perfectly-black hair all gelled up and their bodies (natatawa ako sa part na to..basta) are fuming with scents of the ~~domesticated~~ sophisticated man. but still, she claims that she finds me the suavest.

flattering...but definitely a compliment.
NOT! ...or maybe it is? i dunno!!! i just don't see myself that way.
wait a minute! what does suave exactly means? iniisip ko lang kasi..Bond.James Bond.. ganun. e kaso anlayo ko naman dun.

haaay....
still...i thank her for seeing me in such a way. naeengganyo tuloy ako na mag-effort ba sa aking physical image.

usapang looks na rin lang...last december i was already looking forward for these looks:

i like the sailor look. but not exactly the popeye-ish.

woi! sa friday nextweek...bench fever. lalang. since usapang fashion rin lang naman e...

nagsikalat na ang campaign ads ng bench. nako...ung mga nakabalandrang billboards...lalo na sa may edsa...to the next level. halos magkakatabi na ang mga naglalakihang billboards.

nakakatawa talaga yung mga pictures na nakuha ko. si camille prats nagbabalik?di ko mapinpoint kung ano, pero there's something not right (not exactly wrong) sa katawan ni bianca king. ung posse nya dyan, she reminds me of Janice Dickinson ("THE first supermodel"). alanganin din ung angle nung photographer dun sa shot ni alessandra de rossi. basta..naaalanganan ako. at si ruffa mae?..sadyang di na maalis ang pagka-BOOBA or super-B nya. hanggang sa underwear mala-superB pa rin.

pfft!

may balak ata ako manood sa araneta. pero ayoko gumastos kaya di rin ako magbabalak manood.

nabalitaan ko, sa july concert ng PussycatDolls sa araneta. wala lang.

=====
As you know, we have plenty of Koreans currently studying in the
Philippines to take advantage of our cheaper tuition fees and learn
English at the same time.

This is an essay written by a Korean student i want to share with
you. (Never mind the grammar; it's the CONTENT that counts) Maybe it
is timely to think about this in the midst of all the confusion at
present.

MY SHORT ESSAY ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
Jaeyoun Kim

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines.
Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the
Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem
is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you
understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of
the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from
scratch because entire country was destroyed after the Korean War,
and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very
rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to be well
off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My father & brother
also died because of famine. Korean government was very corrupt and
is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to
develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the
common good with their heart burning with patriotism.

Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their
neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the
spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform
Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not
possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the
economic situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three
factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to
Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory.
They had to go through horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of
Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried
there as they saw the President Park. They asked to him, "President,
when can we be well off?" That was the only question everyone asked
to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea
would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the
President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent
money to Korea. So, President Park was able to build many factories
in Korea. He always asked Koreans to love their country from their
heart.

Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea
to help developing country because they wanted their country to be
well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their
best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in
well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically
handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and
help them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the army.
The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have to
love our neighborhood. And, I have loved my neighborhood. Have you
cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several
times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor
people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in
the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their
country. They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday.
However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners
at the maximum-security compound, and both of them said that they
would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the
prison. They said that they would start a new life in other
countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to
share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory and
company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so
that employees could buy what they needed and saved money for the
future and their children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a
priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost
my faith.

I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the
Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them
everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia, but
there are too many poor people here. People go to church every
Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation.
They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines
when they were young. They are so sorry that there are so many
beggars and street kids. When we went to Pasangjan, I forced my
parents to take a boat because it would fun. However, they were not
happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the
boat again because they were sympathized the boatmen, for the
boatmen were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just
took a boat and enjoyed it.
But, my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very
young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves,
we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added
that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because
all of us are same and have received a great love from God. I want
Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they
love God so that the Philippines will be well off.

I am sure that love is the keyword, which Filipinos should remember.
We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from
person. Love must start in everybody, in a small scale and have to
grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away
our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes.
I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love,
because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It
changes people,contexts and relationships. It changes the world.
Please love your neighborhood and country.
Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In
the Philippines, there is God for people who are abused and
abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child,
teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to
love their neighborhood and country. You already know that God also
will be very happy if you love others.

That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

buzy sa forums lately. tsktsk..tagal na kong di nagsusulat dito. at tagal na kong di nagsusulat ng maayos. maayos as in ung formal. sinilip ko last week ung mga previous post ko. namimiss ko na ung pagsusulat kong matino. as in ung naka-ayos in paragraph. un tipong pinapasa sa english class. haaay....

sinilip ko rin ung mga dati kong blog. madalas rin akong mapatula noon lalo na nung 3rd-4th year nung HS. pero madali lang gumawa ng tula noon kasi merong pinaghuhugutan ng emotion. ayee!asus! tsaka madrama ang buhay high school, teen angst, puppy love, friendship rivalry...those sorts. tsaka mababaw lang noon, madaling magdrama. iba na ngayong college and nearing 20. seryoso na at priorit na ang studies ...syempre para sa future independent life.

pag may time, magsusulat ako ulit tulad noon.sabi nga sa kin nina baba e, may future ako sa pagsusulat. pwede raw akong pumalit kay joe d'mango. pfft! yeah right! miss ko na sila...

haaay...medyo maaga isipin pero napaisip na ko. malapit nang matapos ang teen life ko. 18 na ko and two years to go 20 na ko! wala pa kong masyadong nagagawang pantineydyer. wala pa kong napapalabas na teen angst (i think?). hindi pa ko nakakagawa ng katarantaduhan! wala pa kong hinihithit na kahit ano, at di pa ko nalalasing. di pa ko nakakapsok ng mga bar at this age. wala pang sexual encounter, or any sort. argh!!! hindi pa ko nakakapaglayas..di pa ko nakikitulog sa kung kani-kaninong bahay!!!

...come to think of it...
ayos pala ang buhay ko. i'm glad i haven't resort to any of the above. harharharhar!!! i'm damn proud of it!

oh! it's around four in the morning. what the heck? gumising lang ako ng ganito kaaga para lang mag-online?!?!?!

nah! actually i was semi-sleeping the whole 3hours(i went to bed past midnight). i hate doing this. this! parang desperado akong mag-online. at bakit? my kuya. everyday for the past week, his arse is already glued to the chair infront of the pc. upto the next day, and the next...argh! nakakasingit lang ung bunso 'cause they share the same enthusiasm towards online games. pfft! since alam kong magdamag na sila once makaupo dito, di na ko nagtatangkang makipila para sa pc.pfft!

argh!!! wala na kong ibang ginawa kundi magpaka-couch potato! sana lang diba, kada-araw na ginugugol ko sa pagiging patatas e nadadagdagan ung timbang ko ng isang pulgada. (pulgada=pounds, tama ba?). okay sana kung maging overweight ako(for once in my life!) sa kaka-patatas, so i can feel that i'm being a productive bakasyunista!

sigh...
speaking of productive... getting a summer job is hopeless. pfft! so disappointing. i feel i'm incapable for my 18yr.old life. pfft! nangarap na naman ako. hmmm... come to think of it, i'm just getting fussed up with our financial issues. sabi nga ng mom ko, "..'wag nyo problemahin yun. problema namin ng daddy nyo un..". but i can't help it. i'm not fine with the idea that i'm living under the same roof with people burdened with issues concerning everyone under the same roof. gives me the feeling of worthlessness...pabigat ba.
sigh.. ayoko lang maging walang kwenta...
and patatas-ing ain't gonna help a bit.

Champ's voice is just so....nerve-racking(?). ¬_¬ grrgh! specially on the first line of the song...masyadong malamya! phew! (phew in english is pweh in filipino??? haha!) anyways, i drink at least 2 cups of coffee everyday. at hindi lang ako. pati bunsong kapatid ko. ^__^ hot cup of coffee in the summer heat? well, i love sweating a lot. it's good for the body specially for the skin (?not really sure about that). and coffee has more antioxidants that tea and red wine according to Tweetie De Leon-Gonzalez in the tv ad. (a link to some Yam Laranas blog about Tweetie's tv ad). haha! i just love having coffee.

on with the coffee talk, i found my nescafe ice shaker glass, or whatever you call it. basta, nakita ko siya kagabi..sa kamay ng aking archi brother! -*taas-kilay* too bad di ko lam panu ung smiley nun o_O so technically, hindi ako ang nakahanap. san niya nakuha un?!?! it's been hidden deep in the cupboards for a year now. argh!!! i loooove that cup! it was a birthday gift from someone special. -oh, slash that one- ~~special~~. (there!) it's not the exact cup 'cause the real one had a crack (kasi ung bumili hindi man lang chineck kung may lamat ung cup! xP). so i had to buy a new one.

..hmm...sad note ulit...
nakakalungkot isipin, ung dating special ngayon... slashed special na. i went through my "senior" journals (the traditional journal, the paper-and-pen tandem) a couple of nights ago and sort of went into a flashback. then i realized...special rin pala ko/kami sa kanya. kung gaano ko pinahalagahan kami, ganun din pala siya. err..di ko lang sure ung latter, pero li'**o really did treat me/us special. *ahem!*(alam na...O_O).

harharharharharharharharhar!!!
wahahahahahhahaha!!!
nakoo....
harharharharh!!!
(as much as i'd like to share my laughter with you, i can only try to write it down in repetitive syllables. kung pwede lang sana i-record ung tawa ko ngayon..).
harharharharharharharharharhar!!!

vb kicked me out of his friends of list. kinda disappointed.but no hard feelings. pfft! as if..

hmm...if you'd like to meet paris hilton of the 3rd world perlas ng silangan, go visit bryan boy's site. either you'll adore or abhor this him-slash-her-wannabe-in-a-very-fashionable-ensemble. either ways, you'll give time reading his/her blog.

i'm pretty sure you'll enjoy their passion at their own respect.

update nga ako...

nako. maski ung lj ko di updated. actually, i visit my lj for the purpose of keeping track with lj friends, especially tikoi who's in canada btw. yup. tikoi flew! ahehe... i'm glad we spent our not-to-be-last bonding at gateway. watched memoirs.

hmmm.....ano pa ba latest?
ah! isa kong pabayang estudyant! di ako nag-aaral. bukas, or mamaya, may pre-finals kami for chem303 lec followed shortly by a practical test for botany lab. hindi sa mahina ako sa chem, lalo na sa qualitative chem this sem. tinatamad lang ako. sabog ung notes ko this finals kaya tuloy ang hirap magreview. tapos sa botany, kagabi lang ata ako nagseryoso para sa finals sa botany lab kaninang lunch. speaking of lunch, i didn't had any. naman! 9-12 klase sa trigo at eng101b. 12-ipm ung departmentalized exam for botany lab. followed by a suppossed-to-be pre-finals sa chem lec ng 1-2:30. kaso, the ~~jerjer-minded~~ prof felt we're stoopeed enough and would simply fail his test. hay..buti naman alam nya. wahehehe. he resched the test for tomorrow morning!!! argh! 7-8am! shite! gigising tuloy ako maaga. e magpupuyat nga ako e (di dapat sa pagbblog ^__^) to complete my stock up exercises sa bota lab. tsaka gagawa pa ko nung application form with a resumey para sa english. nako! tsktsk. haaay tamad! di ko nga ginawa ung sa filipino, library research. naman! ako lang ata makapal mukha na di gumawa. term paper un!!!

bakit tatamad tamad na ko at pabaya bigla?!?!...
kasi... kelan lang ba yun?...last week nabaliw na naman ako. i lost my grip of reality. frustrated, tapos depressed...basta mga issue na di nagpapatahimik ng kaluluwa. e buti na lang andyan sina karla at alma, nailabas ko nung friday last week. buti na lang the next day hanggang sunday e nag-overnight swimming kami ng mga relatives sa olonggapo. harhar!!! beach bum na beach bum! saya nga e! totally clear, blue sky! kasama ng blue waters! sigh....sarap! di ko na tinikman ung dagat no. sobrang relief. ^__^

at pagbalik ng monday...hahaha! feeling bakasyon na, di gumagawa ng mga recquirements! pasaway! di nag-aaral. nakikinig nga sa lecture, nakakalimutan rin. ahrharharharhar!!!

sigh...at ngayon nagseseryoso na ko ulit. (maliban na tong blog.ahehe).

hmmm....
bukas aagahan ko pa. tama na muna to. next week na finals namen! this week nga pala, nagcelebrate si moresa ng 18th birthday niya. wednesday ginanap. di ko lang sure kung saan kasi di na ko nakapunta. ung pinlano niya e munting salu-salo sa dati nilang tirahan. pero, may surprise bday bash atang pinrepare auntie nya. sa jade valley ang alam ko. di ko pa nakakamusta si morie tungkol sa mga kaganapan. hopefully it went well. baka kasi may mga nalito sa plano e.

miss ko na SM homeland! Sm north that is! di pa ba bukas ung bagong extension? dalhin nyo naman ako dun mga friends! lalo na xientian friends! ^___^

...haaay!!!
masaya ako sa current state ng pag-iisip ko. peaceful. kaso antok :(
hay...mag-coffee kaya ako? dami naming kape ngayon sa bahay, as in madami. ewan ko ba sa nanay ko, bumili ng malaking pack ng nescafe, tapos tumatanggap pa ng malalaking pack at garapon ng coffee mula sa tita kong australiana (filipino, pero australian citizen). itinago ko nga ung garapon, ung decaf. ahehe. akin na un. kailangn ko for next week!

papakasawa ako sa kape! ^_^

chasing liberty

2005-12-01T08:27:00.000+08:00

papalagpasin ko sana ung fx kanina dahil medyo ilang hakbang din un. kakatamad e. pero nang nakita ko tong taong to, e napatakbo ako. nakita ko si olive tumatakbo para makasakay agad sa fx. naisip ko, "it'd be nice to have a chitchat with a xientian in an fx." (waw...talagang english ung pagkakasabi ko sa isip ko.).
so, napatakbo rin ako at sumakay right after olive. di nya napansin ako na ung kasunod niya. binati ko siya at ayun, kwentuhan. PLM pala siya nag-aaral. mukhang ok naman siya, di mukhang puyat o pagod. pero bugbog pala. ahehe...dahil dun sa "man-down" nila nung sunday. nakwento lang niya.

tungkol sa title.. title yan ng movie ni mandy moore,"chasing liberty". habang kausap ko si olive sumasagi sa isip ko bigla si mandy moore. dunno why. siguro may pagka-mandy moore si olive? ahehe. "chasing liberty", kasi naghabol kami ng fx kanina. ahehe.

time to go to class.
sagutin nyo ung sarbee ko sa previous entry ko.
meimei, kailangan ko ng "witty" na sagot, di barumbado.ahehehe.

hmmm...

oi friends! survey to, ano isasagot nyo sa taong to kung eto ang sitwasyon:

~~evil~~ estranghero: waw! bago! ang YAMAN *sabay-tulo-laway-at-luwa-mata* mo naman! o_O...
ikaw: ano ang isasagot mo?

ano ang isasagot mo? pagandahan ng sagot ah! basta, mga "ward-off" lines nyo in case na kayo ung lapitan ng ibang tao. btw, di basta estranghero yan a. sabihin na nating mga taong everyday mo nakakasalamuha pero di ganun kalalim relationship nyo isa't-isa. gets ba?

send in your request!!!!

2005-11-23T11:58:00.000+08:00

as requested by patit, update ako.

nasabi ko naman na Lj muna ako for the mean time diba? ...onti lang pala nakakabasa dun, sina koi,kei, xeth, daisy, old claretian friends, baba(?). ung iba pang entries ko dun naka-lock e kasi madaling may makakabasa dito sa library. malamang kwentong uste un baka mamaya ung mismong makabasa e siya ung tinutukoy ko. (ahem!)

ano bang latest?...
hmm..kakatapos ko lang magpa-pic for 1x1 id sa kodak. ang bilis nga e. parang labas-pasok lang ako sa studio. then, went straight here sa lib for an update. on the way rin lang kaya dito muna...palamig na rin.

balik sa 1st line. nag-update lang ako ngayon as requested by patit. para daw may mabasa siya habang wala siyang class. hmm..she doesn't need to attend botany class anymore. period.
since si patit na rin lang nabanggit ko sa kanya ko na rin papaikutin ang entry na to. (tama ba to? nababasa mo to patit dba?ahehe).

si patit ang blockmate kong maliit. oo maliit. para sa mga xientians, kasinliit lang ata nya si mam cavo.(no offense!). punkista to at ma-emo. sa kanyang (maliit ring) mp3 player, punk,emo, or mellow rock (tama b yun?mellow?eew!). sentisentihan ang batang to. may karapatan nga naman siyang magsenti-sentihan. sa lahat ng nakilala ko, siya na ang ultimate soap opera in flesh! (sorry na lang si jamie,talo siya). nakakatuwa (in my own terms) ang buhay niya! puno ng drama, kilig, romansa, at maski aksyon!(katulad to nung sa pinoy book namen). makulay ang buhay ni patit...kasingkulay ng gabing babad sa dilim, ni munting ningning ng bituin ay lunod na rin. uhm...medyo exxagerated yun..basta, di kasing pink,yeloow or red ang buhay nya compared sa buhay nyo. pero kahit ganun pink ang fave color nya (nyek!).

on a serious note...
full of insights! para siyang balong malalim. kailangn mahaba ang lubid ng timba mo para makapag-igib ka ng mineral water (evian!sosyal!). masaya kauspa to, natural psycho! hahaha!!! magaling sa psychology ang ibig kong sabihin.isa siya sa mga taong masarap makipagbasag-ulo. malawak ang isipan at bukas ang kalooban.
-pause muna! para palang testimonial na ito-
okay..tuloy...
masayang magsayang ng oras kasama siya. kakaiba siyang ka-UBE (ultimate bonding experience).

nauubos na time ko para gumawa ng assignment sa pinoy.
ang pangit ng pagkakasulat ko, di ko nagawa ung payo ng prof namen sa english, ung 5-part effective paragraph niya.next time aayusin ko pagsusulat ko.

para naman sa mga gustong mabasa ung lj ko...uhmm...
mag-lj na rin kayo. harharhar!!! sorry, di ko mai-plug e. basta buhay pa rin ang account na ito....medyo tutulog-tulog lang.

ciao ciao!!!

rubbish (rub'ish), n. Figurative. silly words and thoughts; nonsense.

rubbish = mga usapang walang kakwenta-kwenta na pwede nang ipahid sa tabi-tabi. tulad ng snot. (filipino term sana kaso mas may class *bri-accent* to).

so..ang mga usapang walang kwenta ay ung pinapahid sa pader, ilalim ng kama o sa balikat ng katabi. eeew!
kung ayaw mamahid, o mapahiran, wag ka nang...

1st day of 2nd sem

2005-11-07T10:59:00.000+08:00

tadaah!!!
today's the first day for the 2nd semester of this year's schoolyear.

pfft!

haha...internet...freeeeeee!!!

i slept late. around quarter to 2 in the morning i guess. i just can't get to sleep. just lying on my bed imagining i was actually sleeping. sigh...
so i decided to stay in bed until 9am. got dress for school and left home before 10. what a hot day, good thing i brought my new payong. i lost my summer blue bench payong in sm megamall last 2weeks ago.

now i'm here, enjoying the free internet in the chilly library. harhar!!!

from now on, dito na ko mag-iinternet. i'll do my updates on my online journals here. i'll check my mails and mail people through here also. but there's one thing i can't do here. and that's friendster.well i can, but i must not get caught.

sigh....

di ko pa nakikita blockmates ko. baka ma-shock ako, or something. ewan. kinakabahan lang ako. parang 1st day ko nung 1st sem.
di nga pala ko sumulpot sa freshmen party yesterday. muntik na kong pumunta kaso last minute change of mind. nagsimba kasi kami ng parents ko and two brothers sa up.after nun, we went to SM north. nagpark kami sa carpark at nasilayan ko ang matagl ko nang di naanigang almamater ko. there was a feeling of...hmmm...can't actually describe it. basta, i felt something. siguro longing or something like it.sigh...miss ko na ba quesci? awww....
sa sm, nagshopping kami. waw..as in shopping. eto ung mga times na bihira na naming gawin as a family kasi nga ang buhay ay di na kasing mura noon.pero here we are, splurging. shoes, pants, shirts and even belts and caps. syempre ung sale na pants and shirts lang binili namen. isang pair of leather shoes for my dad, isang belt sa kapatid ko at isang cap sa kin. waw...i bought a cap. i have no interests and di naman bagay sa kin mga caps but this one's different. i like it.
dahil nga we're on the splurge, tinamad na rin ako pumunta sa metro concert bar. e kasi uuwi pa ko para kunin ung tiicket na dapat e dinala ko na umaga palang. sigh...tsaka, mas ok na tong sort-of-bonding sa mall.

/1st half of my 48 hours/

2005-11-02T07:47:00.000+08:00

just got home from the provinceS. what a trip! it was nothing like a road trip, rather a torture trip. More like being kidnapped and confined at the back of a car. I spent 10 hours inside the vehicle and 16 hours sleeping for the last 48 hours.

Here’s a flashback of the last 48 hours of my life.
Monday, October 31, 2005:
Mom woke us as early as 4:30am, but we left home at around past 7. thanks to my eldest brother’s adopted “gifts”, we wasted hours-worth of sleep. If only his gift-puppy’s poop wasn’t lying around inside the kitchen, which is still a mystery how it got there; and if his gift-kitties weren’t much of a wh*re (was about to say b*tch), that gives birth every now and then; we wouldn’t be in this pet mess. He just can’t refuse a “gift” from a friend, who’s just using the word “gift” for “pet disposal”. And since my brother lacks in the responsibility department, it just pushes my parents’ buttons - the wrong way! We had to have our early morning breakfast of scolding. Another thing of my brother, he’s allergic to my parents’ lectures.

We picked up our aunt and my cousin at mcdo, kalayaan. There, my mom left the kitty of the promiscuous gift-kitty by the road. Do svidanya kitty and welcome to the cruel world of street life! After 3 sleepy-hrs of traveling, we reached the locked up house of my grandparents in sariaya, quezon. Everything was still in order except for the salvaged furniture and empty kitchen. There’s no tv and radio so it’s gonna be a long day. We’re about to be bored when my eldest bro bought a deck of poker cards! Alas! He’s responsible enough to provide fun. We while away our time playing pusoy dos and tong-its; apparently, we were bonding. Awww…izo mushy! Around 3 in the afternoon, we went to the cemetery, to our grandparents’ mausoleum, to clean up a year-long dust. When we got there the place was crawling with spiders and thick webs were hanging almost everywhere, just like in the movies. we, or should I say my parents and aunt, swept the floor and walls and wiped the surfaces. After cleaning up the place, we stayed for the next 2 hours playing card games and solving crosswords. And after that,we walked back to the old house. our cousin and her baby Kika arrived. She’s totally asleep, like in hibernation. We pushed her side-to-side, tickled her everywhere, and called out her name; and still, she’s sound asleep. It took us 20 minutes or so when she finally opened her eyes and started yawning. Then, she started wailing. Good thing it was time for us to leave and head back to manila. We said goodbye to our cousins and aunt and to the baby.

We headed back to manila at around 7pm. We reached home at around quarter to ten but only left and picked some things within 10minutes. The trip to pampanga was free from heavy traffic, and so we reached our destination within less than two hours. Finally, I was able to take some sleep.

=====pause=====
i'll pause right here. need sleep and rest. i'll update later about my tuesday flashback. hmm...maybe i'll go for surfing for awhile. then i'll blog about something else.

later!

2005-10-28T18:33:00.000+08:00

started an LJ account. posted already. still needs some DIY.

sigh... ano pa sense magblog?

oh..before i forget...
about the last two entries regarding me and my relationship with my brothers, i was going for a chain saga there. kaso, pathetic topic. wala ngang nagreact sa inyo e (inyo=mambabasa). speaking of mambabasa, asan kayo?

sigh...ano pa nga ba?

bat bigla akong nag-LJ?
actually dati meron na. kaso dahil nga "complicated", i disregarded the account. why make another and make it work this time?
i was surfing the net and i tumbled on my search's lj. waw...
no more details about this one.

sigh...i'm going back..
back to being a box, all closed and wrapped up. secretive i mean. dati pa naman akong secretive at mapagsarili, i started opening up around 3rd year high school for the sake of trying it out and countering my introvert-ness. and also to get along with friends. kung alam niyo lang nung 2nd year ung ginawa ko with my then-called CLICK barkada. sigh...those days, not worth going back to.

balik sa box si miggy. balik sa sariling mundo...

sigh... i can't help but wonder, what kind of brotherhood do i and my four brothers have? i've seen how close and intimate my friends are with their siblings, and i'm kind of envious with their sibling ties. they're able to make lambing with their older kuya's or ate's and kid their bunso's.
of course doing lambing and pa-sweetums is out of the picture since we're a bunch of guys. but we don't do a "yo bro!" type of bonding. we're more like schoolmates. haha! not even close to busmates.

but we're not like apathetic people. i can still remember way back (centuries ago) then we used to bond a lot. we do stuffs together like play basketball and other larong garahe (di kami kalye boys e), wrestle on the bed, mess with our toys, battle through computer games, tickle each other to death (ako may malakas na kiliti, so ako biktima). even doing house chores together was bonding time. but now, we hardly talk to each other. silence is the only thing going around when we're together. as in deadma, walang pakielamanan. but not to the point that we're total snobs. i guess this because of our contradicting personalities and different interest. hmm...i'm not sure if we are totally of different personalities... we do have a lot in common, but i don't think it's enough to set spark a yo-bro-wazz-happuning kind of discourse.

we're just not vocal with one another, not much of a conference going on not even a rational and intelligent conversation. we all share the same cold shoulder. there was a point in our adolescent lives that we became cold and too-old-enough-to-talk-with-kids. yes...i remember it started with the eldest, then the next, then unto the next..and so on. it's like we just passed it unto the younger sibling. and when its the younger one's turn, he'll return the favor to the elder as he pass it to the younger. i know i did, it was during my sophomore year in highschool. and now, my younger brother is doing it to me. oh, what a fate...so sad...

sigh...is it too late to turn it upside-down? can we still bring back the days when we used to bond through fun and play? yes...i'm hoping that that day will come. di pa naman talaga huli ang lahat. kahit gaano kami kalamig sa isa't isa nakikita ko pa rin na there's still what i call a spark everytime we're together- watching tv, dinning outside, going to our cousins (it's the actual going to our cousins; the travel i mean), going out for rides (as our eldest drives for us). sa mga pinakamabababaw na gawain, doon pa kami nagbo-bonding. or maybe it's just me? in these kinds of activities i indulge in their company. siguro nga ano...we don't have to be vocal, mushy, sentimental and all...we're brothers, even if we're at odds nothing can come between us. mga pa-simple kumbaga...

it's obvious. the only greatest thing we have in common is our not-so-secret-yet-desperately-hidding brotherly love for each other. hahaha!!! so mushi-mushy...eeeeeeew.hahaha!!!
ok na rin ako sa kung anong meron kami, we have something uniquely farfetched relationship.

[:::boarder border:::]

2005-10-23T08:57:00.001+08:00

I'm a boarder in my own home. I wish. haaay...that house help was surely some help when she's around. but now, we have no idea where the heck she's hiding. hmm...i think she's hiding because she owes my mom a lot of charity-money. err...it's not totally a donation,but still it's help. my mom lends her money for her family problems. and now this is how she repays us? argh! porque di lang siya mapautang ulit ng nanay ko e maglalayas siya! people who borrow - demand, rather - money and run away without paying a single cent are considered thieves! gawd i hate them... thanks to her, i realized that i'm just a boarder in my own home. i only sleep, eat, study, go to school, go out, hang around and especially mess around when she was still here. and now, i'm a yayo!?! but i must say i'm a good yayo.

one ungrateful katulong gone, five yayos in. well, that's what it was supposed to be. but since my siblings are such jerks that they're better off asleep all day. early in the morning i'm the first to wake up. i start the day by sweeping and arranging the ruins from yesterday's chaos. after i've accomplished my glory, all of it comes tumbling down once they've awaken from their beauty slumber. aaargh!!! and when my mom sees the messed THEY've done, she's going to rant in front of ME about how messy WE are and how unhelpful WE've been. WE? sometimes i just hear her say "YOU". hmmph! then she's gonna order around demanding we do OUR chores right and don't leave out other stuff unattended. if one thing's left out, she's gonna holler for US to clean it up, pick it up, wipe it up, fix it up, put it up..and so on. I learned in school that plural form of nouns and pronouns suggest a number of subjects to be more than ONE. then how come WE,US,OUR implies a I,ME and MINE?

before, my parents keep complaining how messy and untidy we (my siblings and I) are. they said we should be responsible for the cleanliness and order of our home. we should do chores on our kusa. instead of going out on weekends, we should stay and help in the house chores. we are not boarders, that's what they've continously said. we are not boarders who just sleep and eat and leave as we please. we don't have anyone to serve us of our needs. we are our own help. what will become of us if we were really boarding in somebody else's house? it would be a shame if we'll be messy and all in somebody's house.

i do get their point and tried to meet their expectations. but now i realized that i'm more a boarder today than the last time. if i will be a boarder, i'd be responsible for my own stuff, i'd be neat and organized and tidy with my own stuff. but since i'm living at home with six family members, we are responsible for our stuffs. i share the sala and tv with them; i dine on the same table with them; we eat with the same set of dinnerwares and bathe in same bathrooms (simultaneously, of course); we walk and trod the same floors and stairs. it's all our stuff, therefore, we (should) share the same responsibilities. and this is where the troubles seeps in. WE (but most of the time, they) are a lazy bunch.

we are like a domino, one's fall is the other's push. if one of us is laze-stricken the other would be stricken as well, that will cause the fall of the whole yayo empire, thus disabling us to fulfill our task and serve our purpose. In turn, displeases our queen and goddess of the house. she'll then unleash her power of destruction, toppling our helpless souls.

a not-so-little exaggeration wouldn't hurt, right? but I guess you get what i'm trying to say. Don't you???

sigh... what really am i? a yayo or a boarder? if i'm a yayo, why don't i get paid for the services i render? but if i'm a boarder, how come i'm being ordered around? what would be best, yayo boarder?

sigh...i'd go for the latter. in fairness, i've always wanted to be in a boarding house. his is no different. i'll just have to imagine that they're completely, bloody unrelated to me and that i'm staying here until i finish my studies. harharhar!!!

i'd definitely go with that!

a not so sweet slumber

2005-10-21T10:11:00.000+08:00

dreams…they're killing me. Literally.

it's not unusual for me to have dreams – I mean nightmares- where i'm being pursued by a serial killer; or being robbed-and-stabbed by a black-masked thug; or engaging in a mortal combat, with all the martial arts stuff and weapons, and lose my life in the end.

I always end up dead in my nightmares, whether i've been stabbed to death or simply pushed over an nth storey building. I don't get it with these dreams, why do I have to die? And the only way of saving my life is to wake myself up from these nightmares.

last night, around past midnight i guess, i had this strange dream. at first it was clear to me. i was in quesci for our fifth year. i was still in darwin. cate and steph were there but in a different class. this part of the dream was the fun part. then shift in the environment. there was this high-tech primitive bridges. can't describe it in words...but it was made of bamboo and it was an amazing structure. it was sort of a tunnel. there were gates and guard-like personnel at the end of each segment. And at each gate there was a mortar-like object, more like a thigh bone of a cow, used to bang at the gates for signal purposes, sort of a distress call to alarm other guards of any incident.

in one of the exits, the one I was about to take, there was this guy at the end of the stairs. he seemed to be living in a shanty kiosk, and was preparing a meal for two. he was constantly calling out to, whom it seemed to be, his wife. but it occurred to me he was calling to an absent being. I figured out that there was really no one else with him and that he's kind of delusional. i was frightened by his constant calling out that i informed the guard at my exit. he said i better wait for the authorities just to make sure the crazy guy would do something crazy. So he banged his cow bone in succession to signal near by cohorts. for the meantime he asked me to stay with the other guard on the last exit. As I stayed there I told the other guard about what happened and he insisted that I stay right there. a group of 5 teens were passing by and were heading for the exit I mentioned before. In this group of 4 girls and a guy, none of them were familiar to me; except for one girl who resembled a xientian batchmate and the guy who resembled a cousin.

i warned them of the crazy guy ahead. Then I decided to join the group and I thought it was safe enough since we're a crowd and the crazy guy may not be crazy enough to assault 6 people. There was definitely no hesitation in this decision but the guard asked if we're sure about this. "Positive!" and we formed a line of two, each paired with the other.

we made our way to the exit in our formation of pairs and found that the guard who'd been there had left and the crazy guy was nowhere to be found. We thought maybe he was already taken care of. That's what we thought. As we got off the stairs one of the girls looked back and saw the guard as well as his brains, as his body was tied up to a fence. His head had been bashed with the cow bone that it busted his brains out. We started to "stay calm!" amidst the panic we're in. we started to dart to the next footbridge. I could hear my heart pounding hard in my dream body and in my real body. I was starting to feel chronic pains and experience heavy breathing as we were running towards the next stairs. I was in the rear end of the line paired with the other guy. And as we were running through the stairs I can sense that something was already behind me and I started to run what it seemed to be in slow-mo. But I was the only one slowing down and eventually being far behind the others. At this point I was really in pain, and having trouble breathing. I didn't dare to look back for I sensed that I was only arm-reach from the crazy guy. And he was already trying to reach me from behind…

No…no…please…

I suddenly just opened my eyes.

Panting and totally freaked out… still lying on my side, I looked around my dark room. It seemed to me that the crazy guy was in the room. I shut my eyes but to my shock I have to open it up again. My dream was still running through my mind…I was still running for my life even though i'm already awake and conscious. I dared myself to finish the nightmare just this once and see what's in store in the end. But every time I close my eyes my chest pains would just stabbed me. I can't finished this nightmare in this condition. I just kept my eyes wide open even though they're shutting on their own. I was in pain and couldn't come up with something to save myself from the terror in my dream and in reality.

After I've calmed myself, which took almost half an hour, I dozed off… into a deep, dreamless sleep.

...napuyat ako dun ah...i think a cup will keep me awake.

"ang alamat ng no"

2005-10-07T12:16:00.000+08:00

isa pa for today.
di ko maintindihan to. pero gusto ko lang ung family ethics nila.harharhar.
nagsasayang lang talaga ko oras at pinagsasamantalahan ang free internet sa library.

ang alamat ng no'
by Vincent Haoson

Isang araw ay naglalakad si Shiela (Ninu-NO) sa mundo ni Santo Tomas. May nakilala siyang isang makisig na prinsipe/rockstar na nakasuot ng golden brown na turban. Ang pangalan nya ay "Honey". Nagkatitigan ang kanilang mga mata at nagkagustuhan. Dahil sa kanilang pag-ibig nabuo si Jenny (Piano-NO). Iniwan ni "Honey" ang kanyang mag-ina.

Naglakbay sina Shiela at Jenny sa gubat ni Tomas. Sa ika-211 na puno, biglang sumulpot si Van-Van, isang RH. Napaibig si Shiela at nabuo naman si Grace (Pipi-NO). Nag-away si Van-Van at si Shiela. Iniwan muli si Shiela. Habang natutulog ang tatlong mag-ina, may sumapi na matinding enerhiya kay Jenny, pagkatapos biglang nabuo si Maureen (Toci-NO). Pagkalabas ni Mau sa sinapupunan ni Jenny, biglang nanganak si Mau at nilabas nya si Haoson (Ab-NO).

3 months old si Haoson ng makilala nya si Denise (Ka-NO). Nagkagustuhan sila, ngunit hanggang ngayon ay di pa rin nag-aaminan. Sa mga oras na ito ay nagsusuntukan silang dalawa. Minsan kurutan, tadyakan at hampasan din. Dahil sa mga hampasan na iyon ay nabuo si Chuchie (Pasimu-NO). Ang current love interest ni Choochoo ngayon ay isang Bi-abas na ang favorite subject any Bi-ology.

Habang naglalakbay silang mag-anak ay nakilala nila si Alex (Bru-NO). Dahil sobrang suave ni Alex (hehe), napaibig nya si Grace at di nagtagal sinagot ni Grace si Alex. Dahil masyadong mapusok ang dalawa, nabuo si Matt (Pu-NO). 3 taon sa E.R. si Grace, para lang ilabas si matt sa pamamagitan ng caesarian delivery.

Sa mga oras na ito ay sinasagupa ng NO family ang hirap ng kolehiyo. Walang takot na hinaharap at tinatawanan ang pagsubok at sama-samang bumabagsak.

The No family's code of Ethics:

We don't do stalking, we do investigative journalism.
We don't do backstabbing, we use euphemisms.
We don't gossip, we exchange information.
We don't eavesdrop, we hear stuff by mere coincidence.

tick-tock...

2005-09-29T17:59:00.000+08:00

I'm 17 and I can't say that I'm living it. My life is a clock, ticks 24/7 passing 12 numbers twice a day. After the long hand has traveled all 60 minutes it'll just pick shorty and drop it off to the next hour.

Nowadays, as my life faces each day, everyday seems like any other day. I'm like the short hand waiting for the long hand to just pick me up and lead me to the next day, leaving me to wait for it to pick me up again then drop me off again and again and again and... you're getting what I mean? I'm stuck in this again-and-again cycle of repetitive life. See what I mean? And having repeated the same old things everyday is just tiring and fatally boring.

I must break out of this tick-tock life of mine.
Hope tommorow will be a good day to start.

ok...i found the time and opportunity (w/c is so scarce in this house) to blog/update you with me life. so here goes:

raging neurons:

kainis!!! bumabagsak na ko sa practical tests sa zoology kahit sobrang aral ko. kainis!!! pati sa math!!! di na ko makakuha ng perfect score sa short quizzes!!! this is berry distressing!!! my aura... nahihigop ng mga tinuturuan ko ang aura ko. iieee!!! arghg!!!

may dapat gawin pero di ginagawa:

haaay...critique na naman. nanood kami ng "cultural show" nung saturday sa sm sta.mesa. for Php200, it's not worth it.mga filipino traditional dance from different regions and era. singkil,tinikling,sayaw sa bangko (asteeg to), rain dance, ligawan dance,kasalan dance, offertory dance, basta dance. narealize ko (ULET) na magaling talaga ung singkil namin nung curie3 pa ko. asteeg kami! haaay...nagtilian lang ung iba nung nagsayaw na ung mga naka-bahag. nag-acrobat pa sila at aerodynamic-dance ah. so tendency...ahem! kita arse! (arse..harhar). tsaka nagtilian din dun sa "pukpok-niyog-bra-and-kneepads" dance (di ko lam tawag e). isa pang critique din for Rizal courses, on the movie "rizal sa dapitan". argh!!!

new-found hobby:

stalking. di naman ung tunay na stalk ha. ung lang ung coined-term ko. meron kasi sa ust na 2ndyr biochem na parati kong nakikita(minsan hinahanap). at masaya lang pag nagkakasalubong kami paulit-ulit sa isang linggo. nakakalungkot naman pag hindi ko nakikita for a week.harhar!
sm hopping!!! pagkagaling sa sm sta.mesa punta ko sa sm cubao. syempre daan muna ko gateway tapos nag-ali mall pa ko. from their, i took the mrt to our sm homeland(sm northedsa para sa di taga-roon.harhar). syempre, must visit un.ahehe. at wala akong binili na kahit ano.

proven known fact:

xientians ay kalat na sa mundo. nakita ko si samuel raya sa sm sta.mesa. saya nga e, he was about to cross the street nang bigla kong isigaw "sAAM!". ahehe...buti huminto siya sa pagtawid bago lumingon. nag-aaral siya sa CCE, na katabi lang ng sm sta.mesa. asteeg! sa sm cubao naman, nakita ko isang batch 06 na nakataxi mag-isa. sosyal siya. at sa sm north naman sina arvin nakita ko tapos si cris kasabay ko pauwi.
ang fc at gc ay xientian term. (hala...i-claim daw ba?!?). harhar!!!

health check:

matagal na kong payat/slim. sanay na rin akong magskipo ng meals at kumain ng onti. pero ngayon lang ako nagiging anorexic! waaaah! well, feel ko lng...di pa naman ako kalansay na no. kumbaga, nasa point na ko ng boundary between, slim and skinny. i eat healthy food naman kaso di nga lang consistent ung meals. samahan ko pa ng pagpupuyat..tsktsktsk.

babawi ako. sakto lapit na ng sembreak. kakain lang ako nang kakain at tulog.

para sa linggong to:

lapit na finals. eto na ung last "normal" week before finals. matatadtad na kami ng mga pre-finals,quizzes at test. completion na next next week.haaay...2nd sem lapit na. bawi na dun!

"And She Was Gone" -by Ginger Foutley

2005-09-15T16:43:00.000+08:00

She chose to walk alone

Though others wondered why

Refused to look before her,

Kept eyes cast upwards,

Towards the sky.

She didn't have companions

No need for earthly things.

Only wanted freedom,

From what she felt were

Puppet strings.

She longed to be a bird.

That she might fly away.

She pitied every blade of grass

For planted they would stay.

She longed to be a flame,

That brightly danced alone.

Felt jealous of the steam

That made the air its only home.

Some say she wished too hard.

Some say she wished too long.

But we awoke one autumn day

To find that she was gone.

The trees, they say stood witness.

The sky refused to tell.

But someone who had seen it said

The story played out well.

She spread her arms out wide.

Breathed in the break of dawn.

She just let go of all she held...

And then she was gone.

i am in need --

a lot of it!

but it won't be coming from the ones that i already have.

it won't suffice this ranting.

though i appreciate every single thing i'm showered of.

it's just that it isn't the one i'm yearning for.

but i've seen it, even though i'm not suppose to find it.

now i've found it, the sad part is it's not for me to have.

it'll cost too much.

lastnight was a blast (to the past?!?!)...

2005-08-28T18:21:00.000+08:00

Lastnight i did enjoyed meself with everybody. ung mga kakatuwang pag-uusap. i was so glad that Gian and mam Alvarez made it there. all the cracks and laughs, i owe it to them. they're like the party popers! they add the "TEY!!" in party. (gets ba?) nyahaha!!!

bzzzt! taboo!!! ahehe...saya maglaro! pinawisan ako dun! kakatawa rin yappy, iso barok inglish. "da pichur!" ahehe. charlie salamat rin dahil tahimik ka matulog. ahehe...peace.rainier long-hair made it too. sarap magpakayaman sa monopoly. nyaha!!! sarap rin mapakinggan ang kanyang pagtugtog ng gitara. that i missed so much.

tikoi! me mahn! thanks for being there! karamay sa lungkot at pag-iisa...at sa pangungulila sa isang KAIBIGAN !!!!! (tamaan ka na ng kidlat madama mo lang..). koi, ilang beses mo na ko naliligtas sa aking "sole purpose"...it really means a lot for me. mushi-mushy here...

jamie...salamat sa pagpunta sa bahay at pagtulong sa pagliligpit. ahehe...next time di lang pagliligpit gagawin mo, ipagluluto mo na kami! nyahaha!!! jowk! salamat rin sa pakikinig sa akin, though di ko nabubuo ung kwento. hehe.

salamat n rin sa ibang dumalo, though IBA ang ipinunta nila (analogy ito. iba::iba).

dun naman sa isa...pre-occupied lang ako kaya pasensya na. lapses ko na talaga ito..tsktsk. byw, salamat dahil kala ko matutulog lang ako sa lamig (literal at metaphor 'to). ang galing mo talaga.

para naman sa aalis within 15 days...i really hope that you made the most of the night para sa ikatataba ng puso mo, maliban na dun sa IBA na nakakapagpalungkot. sana bago ka makaalis e masaya ka at walang dadalhin baggage na pabigat. sorry dahil hanggang dun lang nagawa ko para sa gabing yun, di ko naimbitahan ung iba...sorry. babawi pa ko! may at least 10 days pa akong nalalabi para makabawi.

lastnight...
sana it was something for you...something special kahit ganun lang. for me, it was really something, di nga lang happy, pero something kakaiba. soul-searching ba ito?

ewan...

something noon p na nanggugulo lang ulet....
ang hirap pala kung ganito, you feel special toward something pero di mo naman maipadama either di mo magawa dahil sa pag-aalinlangan or dahil HINDI talaga pwede.as in NEVER. because it'll cost a high price. unless, both will be liberated to a degree of sincerity and innocence, dun lang makakamit. pero andun pa rin ung HIGH PRICE. at di ako willing ipagbayad siya.

-_-_-_-
p.s
magulo ang blog na ito. very inconsistent. di ko mawari ang pangunahing tema at emosyon na nais iparating sa inyo. cheap choice of words. meron atang paulit-ulit. ito na siguro ang blog na least favored.

siguro, dahil di ko maihayag ang aking sarili ng tuwiran sa ngayon na dulot na rin ng isang pagkikimkim..na di ko mawari. a basta...naguguluhan ako...mga bagay na tuluy-tuloy sa pagtakbo sa isip ko na wala nang balak magpahinga.

makakaraos rin...

at tumanggi akong magkape kanina. oh, give me a break!

makasalanan ako...
dagdag sa una.

nagbabasa ako ng isang liham (actually di lang isa...) na di ko naman dapat binabasa pero binabasa ko pa rin. at ngayon.. ako tong nasasaktan though wala namang nilalaman ung letters na patungkol sa kin.

i'm feeling an unknown feeling nung nabasa ko...
jealousy?...probably.

pero i realized something..yung date nung letters..
it was those days that IT actually worked.

wanna play with me?

2005-07-30T19:16:00.000+08:00

"I will play the fool forever..

...just to be with you forever."

i.. "have to let him go so i can let him go too"..
we've been thru a lot and i believe it's not enough just letting anyone go. but we'll be suffering the worries and sorrows, we won't be able to move on. though it's not much an issue for me due to certain facts, still i'll be haunted because of his different persona which i see or find in a particular individual. and i'll be together with that individual for 3 years. yup, a blockmate.

"I will play the fool forever..
...just to be with you forever."

she said i have to let go.. forget about the 3rd for the common good of all. but all i can say is.. hope is very comforting. all i can do is hope, and in the process, be stubborn and blind to the reality. but they already have a place in my life.. a position that can never be abandoned, a seat that can never be vacated. i was given an obligation to be fulfilled, and i'm proud to sayu until now i'm fulfilling my duties. but he's unfair.. he's abandoning his seat...leaving the audiences not finishing the show. hmph! unfair...

"I will play the fool forever..
...just to be with you forever."

unfair... that's why i have to let go...
but hope is very comforting!!! as long as i have hope.. all will be swell, yaH?

"I will play the fool forever..
...just to be with you forever."

there. i've said it...though not vividly complete. i just hope the preceeding days would now be something better .for the past days, it was just a new-a-day-comin'-up...let's hope for a good day coming up!

play the fool..don't know for how much longer...

vague luna...

2005-07-27T01:33:00.000+08:00

i was already asleep around quarter to nine..
i was having these dreams..well,not exactly dreams...more like visions. it was vague. and i was able to wake up from it.but as soon as i got to sleep again,or close my eyes, it starts again.

these were the incidents i called my hallucinations. but this time..it was different.

but basically, it's a sign that i'm stressed out or tired...
or luna.

hmm..sadly... i'd prefer the latter. when i woke up, i spotted a ball of cloudy light right through my window unto the sky. it was a luna,and it wasn't full though.

sigh... a deep sigh...

are these signs?...signs pertaining to what?..ahem.
let's just play along and go with the flow until everything cleras up. time will tell as the saying goes.

must...have..COFFEE!!!

2005-07-19T20:03:00.000+08:00

damn!
my blog is overflowing with coffee. even the shirt i was wearing last saturday was a coffee shirt. pero ano toh?! wala pa kong naiinom na coffee since...since...
see!? i can't even remember ung last coffee ko. ah! i remember. pinapak ko lang ung a couple of pints(pints!!!) ng coffee last june. desperado! i need an expresso!(waw rhyme!).

i miss my coffee. ahem! epal nga pala ang coffee!!! di muna ako iinom ng *c* coffee. hmph! haaay..i miss coffee..as in coffee ha! tapos ang gift ko pa kay baba coffee, sana pala ininom ko na lang un. nyahaha!!!

flashback:saturday, july16,2005
nga pala...kwento ko lang. napanood ko na ung Fantastic Four!!! F4!!! last sunday ko pinanood sa SM fairview with a couple of people. (waw..couple of people?) okai, fine! we celebrated baba's oober-belated birthday. it was what rap connoted as "Bam Day!" it served as baba's 17th birthday celebration and sort of get-together with her closet, i mean closests friends. me, koi, K and opcorse the rapi (nyork!). actually di dapat ako kasama nun, kasi studies muna (as if). kaso sayang kasi dapat nung nakaraang week pa dapat ung celebration kundi lang dahil kina TIKOI e. (nyahaha!!! peace mahn!).

how did we celebrated the eck? hmm..accdg to rap's plan's with an additional studio pic. rap planned the thing. speaking of the "jin" (ahehe..) di DAW kami lQ koi! ahem! para sa kanya e di naman DAW kami nag-away or something like that. that's another reason kung bakit ayoko sana sumama. ayokong maging KJ or make the atmosphere cold due to my unwanted presence(o his presence?). pumunta ko para lang kay baba, tsaka para makabonding sina karen at koi. (youch!).

so pagpunta doon, sa forsaken quantum, di ko siya pinapansin. at eto ha...shite! we're wearing the same color but different shades of orange! yuck!!! si baba naka-light orange na tee.si rap naman naka-orange na polo, while i was wearing orange-with-a-hint-of brown coffee t-shirt (mas detailed ung akin ah). waw..is it a sign?...sasayaw ba kami? nyahah!!! they were making efforts to reconcile us, but obviously to no avail. i don'yt know 'bout him, but iwas sure kung ano ayaw ko mangyari. ahem!

magagaling din tong tres marias na ito. they went to a nearby mag shop, leaving me cornered with the jin in the studio. no choice...i talked to him about the studio eck. pero hanggang dun lang un. it doesn't mean na kinausap ko siya e bati na. sa point of view ko un. ewan ko na ung kanya. siya nagbayad, fine. pero kung walang tampo, di ko hahayaang siya lang magbayad. bait ako e.

siya rin bumili ng ticket sa movie. muntik na talaga akong mag-back out nun kasi di pa ko nagpapaalam. kaso nabili na niya, tumawag na ko sa bahay.
nood F4..okai. it wasn't boring. it was fun. i enjoyed the movie, the dialogues, the script,the chem lectures. ahehe. CHEM 101! the down thing to this movie, bitin ung battle scene. for me, kulang pa sa showcasing ng powers nila. pero overall, it was great.

sa pag-uwi...sinundo ako ng dad ko sa may don antonio na. hehe.so kasama na rin dun ung, hinatid ko sila sa bahay nila except kay rap. naglakad na lang siya pauwi sa kanyang old home sa cb.

issue for the past few days:
pathetic to! napaka-insensitive niya. hmph! gets ko ung iniisip niyang "true friends crap" niya e. kaso, he's too cocky. overconfident siya na ganun talaga dapat. he forgot about his efforts and contribution for that eck to work. he's insensitively selfish. maybe he's just lucky that he got me as his friend, matiyaga and stupid. swerte niya!

para naman kasi sa kin, it's worth the shame and stupidity...

..yun ung masaklap dun na hindi niya nage-gets. haaay...

sharing:
i'll share with you a pic...
parang ganyan ung shades nung orange-coding naming tatlo nung saturday.

focus: monthly exams:
haaay...miggy...
FOCUS! leave that crap aside for awhile and focus on the monthly exam. haha!! di ako nag-aaral mabuti.
tuwa ako sa math, nadalian ako. pero i made a mistake na. sayang,kala ko perfect na. kailangan ko nang mag-aral maigi for the other subjects.

Plug time:
wala masydaong happenings today ..i mean personal stuffs, ung emotional craps. guess that's a good thing.

magp-plug lang ako..

tomorrow, wednesday.. don't have anything scheduled. maybe i'll meet with my USTmates. or daan ako kina baba ulit just like nung monday.
sa thursday daan ako UPdiliman to meet with jane and madie. miss them already and i'm worried about jane.
sa friday i'll be meeting with the UPmanileños in Robinsons. pero di ako pwede gabihin. tsaka di ko pa nasusubukang pumunta doon. try ko plang sa friday.

tomorrow..test sa filipino at rizal...at hindi ako nag-aral for rizal.kayanin ko kaya? 1-3pm ung test pero as early as 6:30am nandun na ko.

tomorrow another day...will it be the same as today?...sana lang walang emotional craps.

i'll go for coffee tomorrow!!! so i'll can toast for a new day comin'!

no more worries...for now.

2005-07-17T08:12:00.001+08:00

aaww...i'm touched..
friends! no more worries! mula nung monday e umayos na ung aking social life.

nung monday kasi we held our freshmen integration. merong contest kung saan ang bawat block ay magpapakitang gilas, either song or dance or roleplaying. each block was assigned to a theme or subject. kami, dahil block C, C for coconut. haha!!! swerte na namin dyan kasi ung A-arinola, B-bibingka, D-diapers, E-i forgot, F-frying pan, G-gugo, H-hollowblock. ang ginawa namin, sa first part meron kaming jingle at cheering. tsaka ung "..the coconut-nut is a giant nut.." song. 2nd part naman e dance showdown between girls and boys. syempre kasali ako sa mga dancers. nung sumasayaw kami parang nagwawala buong crowd dahil sa mga "stunts" na pakana ng aming "D.I.".

well...the creative efforts lead us to our...VICTORY! yea! and our prize was, i think, 5 bags of doritos,cheerios. malalaki naman kaya emnough for the whole class. nyhaha!!(52 kami take note.).

nakatulong na rin ung victory na yan para di ko ma-feel na ako'y "nag-iisa". i mean, when we won i realized na i've just underestimated my block...or i overestimated the other blocks? i think it's the latter. nyahaha!!! kasi naman..in xientian terms, kenkoy ung presentation. (btw, kenkoy is not a negative term).it's mediocre in xientian terms, but it was hell of a fun. kumbaga sa atin, un ang tinatawag na pagkakalat!nyahah!!!

mula na nung monday e, di pa ko namumura nung seatmate ko. wala namang umaaway sa kin. hindi rin naman ako basta nagpapa-under noh! pag may nagmura sa kin binabato ko pabalik!

kaya me friends, don't worry too much... even if i'm on my own, carry ko toh! aba! ako ata si miggy, tagabuhat ng pasanin ng mundo! (waw...superhero ba ang dating?yuck!).

lumang issue na ito...punta na sa next.
this week, july18-22 we will be havinbg our monthly exam!!! it's a test only taken by those under the Faculty of Pharmacy. unlike the other faculty/colleges, they only have prelims and finals to worry about. pero dahil nga kami ang "baby" ng ust, we're given a pre-prelimanary evaluation. our monthly's will determine if we're really determined (determine used twice) to pursue our course, med tech. we still have the chance to shift to a lighter faculty/college if we're not willing to "suffer" while taking med tech. if ever bumagsak naman sa monthly pero willing tapusin ung med tech, makakabawi pa naman dahil meron pang prelims at finals. un ung design nung 3 test in a semester. a ganda diba.

ako, i'll pursue this course na. 3 years of study and on my 4th year, i'll be an intern!!! waw!!! then i'll be a professional medical technician..tapos...diretso sa MED!!! weee....!!!

all these dreams and hopes...i pray to thee...
something to really look forward to...to a new day comin' up!

2005-07-10T01:54:00.000+08:00

tagal na kong di makapagbuhos ng loob..
..sorry people..

okay i'll make this brief as possible.

everyday's a new day..
for the first days, i thought i was being an introvert no-placer until the
likes of francis came along the way. waw..amazing. i'm with people, as
in group of individuals, during lunch hours. having a meal is much
satisfying and belly-filling when shared with a gorup of people.lunchmates!!!

for the succeeding days, for awhile i thought my social life was coming
into the clearing, away from the secluded darkness of my lonliness.
uh-uh! not for long! now, my worst days are finally starting. i'ts not that bad ..well, not yet! but i can't tolerate such ..such...pathethic-ness! is there even such a word? i'll just coin it as "pathetic-ness".

pathetic. hmmm...ako ba? nyahaha! i don't know. i feel like i'm pathetic. para bang nasayang ung mga high school experiences ko. di ko man lang magamit. ...
hindi magamit? hmmm...
lie-low lang ako ngayon. low-profile. 52 minds in a block, and not a single soul brave enough to fused their overflowing ideas. ha! that's pathetic. (ano nga ba meaning ng pathetic? pathetic ako ng pathetic, mamaya di naman pala tama ung term. nyahaha!!!).

ung mga nauunang nabanggit that's pertaining to my block, 1C-MT. *cheers*cheers*.
ahem!

narrowing it down...
i feel bullied.
WHAT!!! si miggy, nabubu-bully?nani?!?!

ay ewan! people..are, people.
they're very inconsiderate about other peoples "people-ness". they tend to forget the fact that we're all beginners, all freshies. we came from different high schools. we all have different pasts, personality, experiences and we were parted from the people who've been surrounding us during our hs life. nakakalimutan nilang malaki ang mga differences namin, and we are all stubborn about certain facts about other people. kaya nga dapat, maingat ka kasi di mo kilala ung mga tao sa paligid mo. di mo pa alam kung panoo sila magreact sa mga certain things, actions or words na binibitawan mo. akala nila at home na agad sila. news flash! magkakaiba tayo ng kinalakihang cultura at paniniwala. mag-ingat dapat kasi baka nakakasagasa ka na ng iba. kung noon ang lakas mong mang-gago ng mga tao sa high school dahil un ung trend nyo, e ngayon di naman same people ung nakapaligid sayo e. malay mo ba kung panoo nila i-take ung panggagago ng isang tulad mo. are you getting what i mean? mag-ingat na lang. people are neglecting the situation na di naman tayo magkakakilala personally. hindi porke nakitawa na ako sa mga biruan nyo e pwede nyo na rin akong biruin na ung tipong panggagago. when i entertain people,it doesn't mean that we're personally close or friends agad. lakas din ng feeling nyo ah. dama nyo!

ang sa akin lang...di tayo magkakakilala, nagkakakilanlan pa lang tayo..sana e mag-ingat kayo.

consider this an open letter to my 1c-mt. as if may 1c-mt na makakabasa neto?
...well sana lang.

----
cut ko na ito... haaay...nakakasira lang ng magandang gabi...
monday's another day...
will it be a NEW day?

1st week of college life...[informal na paglalahad]

2005-06-18T19:32:00.000+08:00

maiiyak na ba ko? actually muntik na talaga nung 3rd day of my college life.

june15,wednesday : officially a yellow tiger! growl!
wala akong old acquaintance sa block ko. para nasa isang pageant, each contestant representing a school he/she bleongs. except for 4 guys who've been together durng their high school life.

my first acquaintance, isel, a girl from batangas. well..hanggang dun lang yun. i'm such an introvert na nagmumukha akong pipi. but i'm polite enough to entertain queries. yun nga lang, puro ako one-liner. second aquaintance was a guy from claret. waw, at least meron akong kapwa claretiano. kaso di ko siya batchmate dahil naggrade 7 siya ako hindi. he's amazed na galing akong quesci. pero hanggang dun lang un. kasi nga, introvert ako. tradition na sa mga 1st days ang getting-to-know speeches. pinagsulat kami sa small pice of paper, at ako ang unang-unang nagpakilala.

"good morning. my name is jan dio miguel b. dela cruz and i came from quezon city science high school."
-pause.
-silence-
-curious stares-
"and i was born on january 5."
-giggles and soft laughter fills the room.
sigh...

nagkitakita nga rin pala kami nina macar, gian, airuz at ben sa campus and what a relief it was. before ko sila natagpuan, para akong ligaw na bata. di man lang ako nakimingle sa mga blockmates ko. i was so reluctant dahil andun mga kapwa xientians ko. (btw, mag-isa lang ako sa med tech!!!). tour kami sa building nina gian,ai at mac dahil iisa lang course nila.swerte naman nila.nakita rin namin si hanna pero huli na dahil may mga classes na kami.

balik na sa 1c-mt (block ko yan) kung san balik rin sa pagiging introvert.

june16, thursday: more of the getting to know
2nd day at late ako sa 1st class. luckiliy mas late teacher ko ng 20 minutes compared sa kin. my 3rd aquaintance's a rival. she's joana, an alumnae (tama ba?o alumnus? malai..) of manila science. it was just a quick, "here o, paper." dahil namumulubi sila sa papel at nahihiya pang manghingi ay ako na mismo nag-abot. nag-thank you naman siya and i find it sweet. ahehe. she's sweet, but still, there's a competition. ahehe. my fourth acquiantance, medyo mahiyain at tulad ko tahimik. simple lang naman usap namin. mga queries of confirmation lang. tatanong lang siya tungkol sa orientation na gaganapin next day,ung what time, saan, that sort. mga two-three words lang ata ang sagot ko sa kanya parati e.walang usap na naganap talaga. pinakopya ko rin siya ng notes ko at nilibre ko siya ng copy ng assignments sa chem lab. nalaman ko lang name niya bago ako lumabas ng chem lab, which was our last subject for the day.

11:30 nasa labas na ko ng ust and i decided to go to sm city. namili ako ng gamit at onting window shopping. punta ko pilcoa sa pagbabakasakaling dumaan sa up para meet si jamie. e kaso late nang nagreply. i was already on my way home na nun e. nakauwi na ko ng 4 and it was very tiring. whew! ang init pa! nasunog tuloy ako sa saglit na exposure sa sun. (mental note: buy sunblock!).

june17, friday: tour and orientation
walang classes. accdg. sa sked, 9am pa dapat pasok ko. pero dahil may tour, recquired na pumasok ng seven. bago ako pumasok ng ust, dinaan muna ako ng dad ko sa house/store ng cousin niya para daw if ever bumabagyo pwede akong magstay dun dahil ang lapit lang sa campus. pwede rin dun muna ako makitulog kung di ako makauwi.meron din silang gym at inaalok ako para daw maging macho. nyork! pupunta ko dun kung may body akong i-mo-mold. nyahaha!!!

di ko inaasahang maabutan ko ung tour, naisip ko kasi dahil late na rin ako pumasok, baka nagstart na ung tour at naiwan na ko. i was sort of wandering around the campus while in deep thought. sa paglalakad ko may nakita akong pagtitipon ng mga students. di ko naman napansin kung ano nangyayari. napaupo ako sa isang bench at nagtetext. pagtingin ko sa mga taong nagtitipon, nakita ko blockmates ko. waw...di ko napansing un na pala ung start ng tour, meeting place pala un. what a coincidence!

sa paglalakad at pamamasyal (tour), two new acquaintances at sort-of-walking buddy. shoot! i forgot their names again! (wala akong kwenta talaga o!). surnames lang alala ko. si tuazon at talavera. ahehe. dahil nga introvert ako, tipid lang ung usap namin. medyo natatahimik sila dahil tahimik ako. sobra na tong introvert na ito.

........bla bla......

at dahil nga nasa rental lang ako... puputulin ko muna ito. abangan nyo ung continuation dahil para sa kin un ung pinaka-highlight ng 1st week ko. nyahaha!!!!

hassle..whew

2005-06-18T18:22:00.000+08:00

wala muna akong masasabi tungkol sa 1st days ng aking college life. i mean, i have a lot to discuss about it, this is just not the time due to inevitable circumstances.

i can't go online because our phone lines are not working. hopefully we'll have it repaired by the end of next week. right now, i'm in a rental doing some homework for my chem lab class. at ang hirap maghanap!!! wala pa kong nagagawang maayos. grrr!!! at hindi ko pa naayos ung friendster account o. sorry para dun sa mga taong nasa list ko dun sa bagong account(ung binura ko). i saved the testimonials na ginawa nyo for me in case na di nyo ko magwan ng bago. ahehe. gagawan ko rin ng bagong testimonials ung mga dating nagawan ko. sorry talaga.

hay, para sa mga tumatawag sa bahay, di rin muna ninyo ko matatwagan sa bahay. kanina lamang nung may kausap ako ay biglang naputol ung line. i have no idea what caused this, but for sure next week na rin maayos un. dammit!

my only hope is my cell phone. sana lang may load diba? hahehe...di pa ko makabili dahil ang bilis maubos ng baon ko. UST na ko no! layo, hirap mamasahe. tapos ung food pa! unstable pa ang aking "financial status" (that's allowance for simplicity). allowance ko pinambibili ko ng gamit ko. at hindi rin isang bigayan ang "salary" ko ngayon. haaay....

this week, i'll try to visit U.P. diliman. di ko magawa this week kasi nakakapagod talaga ung biyahe from ust pauwi. sana this week e hindi ganun kainit para naman madalian ako.

to give you a hint kung ano dinanas ko nung 1st three days ng aking college life, all i can say is...

SOOBER HASSLE!!!!!
and HASSLE i say!

first day...fresh start

First days are really exciting especially if you are an incoming freshman. A different enthusiasm and anticipation runs through your body. How come? It's just the start of a new school year on an elevated schooling system. oh come on! we all know it's not JUST a celebration of having the nick "freshie". it's like a new chapter in the story we all call life. Or the much awaited sequel to your "episode 7: attack of the graduates”. Not only that, 1st days are the next best thing to summer vacations. But seriously, having a new, fresh start is really something incredible and overwhelming.

Like any production, spending on resources is a must. It is practical and environmental-friendly to recycle the materials used during the prequel. But of course, it's inevitable not to buy brand new resources. For a brand new start, it has been a habit, more like a tradition, to buy new things for a fresh start. That's the hip phenomenon about first days. You get to go shopping for a new pair of pants, a new set of uniforms, and supplies in mint condition. You even get the chance to buy something maybe unnecessary, but sort of a treat for your first day. I remember my mom bought me a cell phone when I was a freshman in high school and a swatch watch for my junior year. These extra spending are not just about having brand new gadgets, but more of a compliment for the achievements. Consider it the fruits of your labor, yah?

It seems first days is like a walk in the park. Not! The harsh thing about these days is the reality of really starting over. These are the days when your social life takes a dive, being a loner is what you're forced to be. Well, hopefully for a while. Let's look at this on the Brightside. This is the time when your hi-hello-nice-to-meet-you abilities are at its maximum. Meeting new people, having conversations such as "I'm from Quesci, how 'bout you?" are once again a must for you to have a new elite circle of socialites, or at least a simple, normal sociable life. These are the days when your friendster account is in a hyper-active state.

New Years are celebrated with all those bangs and booms; why not give first days such blast? A fresh new start is something to be all excited and enthusiastic about. All that anticipation of the coming of an adventure far momentous than before, sends me off my seat. Ha-ha! Seems I'm getting over (and I mean OVER)-excited.

Here is to a new day comin' up!
