grabe! share ko lang na may tumawag dito na relative ata namin...

kumanta kasi si kitchie nadal sa ASAP...aba! tinanong lang if relative daw namin siya...at hindi lang basta relative ha...kung sister ba raw namin siya! ABSURD!

hello?!?! hindi ko siya kamukha...tsaka magkakaroon ng sariling career ang aking sisterette noh! hehe! ;)

yung "wag na wag mong sasabihin" lang ang sumikat ha...hindi naman masyado yung sa iba...

bitter ba?

RED for WAR

remember that state of confusciosity i was in...well, i've finally settled matters once and for all...

i texted my guy friend about his messages. he thought i was angry. like duH? no...i can't be angry... i was just confused. this is the first time a guy friend said i love you to me. goodness! buti na lang, i clarified things between us. (or so i think) basta...he said it was all for the sake of friendship and nothing more. pero...ok fine! such crazy minds...it really is good for us to settle things para naman hindi masira yung friendship...nakakalito lang talaga minsan.

the powerful phrase of i love you...

well then...Mina" rakastan sinua / Lakh tirikh!

ps. see...i really am confused...i can't even organize my thoughts...shit!

shit!

what do you do if someone texts you with a foreign phrase? diba magtataka ka...you'd be curious what that means...lalo na if he can't even speak that language.

now, what happens if you find out that means "i love you"? ano 'toh?! joke time?

goodness...

oh well...

just wanna tell everyone my very wonderful day...white mice in the next room...aircon the whole day...ahh!

fine...you don't get me do you? i'm in a state of confusciosity...

ima-malate ko na lang uli...

oh...by the way, i found out that kitch means shit...so...kitchie nadal...shitie nadal...ehehe!

no offense meant dear...that's what my sis told me...

the power of language nga naman...translate to the max...

i just wanna share the long saturday i had...

totally an experience...it was one of the longest saturdays of my life...

i woke up early to meet my psych 118 groupmates at mcdo philcoa...then, we went to abscbn's audience entrance to audition for the search for star in a million...

not that we were divas in the making, mind you...

we were doing this for our participant observation thing...

oh well...the line was relatively short when we came, but after our arrival, people started coming until the line reached the corner of abscbn...it was that long.

we waited until 8:30...security told us that only those who will audition can enter...

i never had the guts to audition so i opted to be an observer outside abscbn...

sheesh! it was warmer outside...but the people (parents, relatives and friends of those who auditioned) outside were nice and accomodating to our questions which went like "Where did you come from? Can't we really enter the premises of studio 12?"

only one of my groupmates entered and continued to audition but despite his good voice, he wasn't accepted...he lacked something extraordinary daw...

so predictable right?

so there...i had my bio exam that afternoon...

it went well...thanks to my groupmates who were good well-wishers and spiritual people...unfortunately, some of my close friends who took the exam didn't find it easy...oh well, have to keep the excitement to myself...

then, i went to malate again...free dinner at wendy's care of krystenelli's coupons...hehe!

zagu too...(this wasn't free!)

bocobo streetmapping...i hate those who do the whistling thing...duh?! eww!

then, we went to the boardwalk area to commute back to katips...now i know how to commute from malate to katips...haha!;)

went to tropical pa pala for a quick snack...

that was my long saturday...

P.S. heehee! sorry for the lame blog...this serves a dual purpose for me...i'll be using this as reference for my psych 118 journal eh...;)

masasabi kong isa akong sentimental na tao
hindi ko mawari kung ito'y mabuti o hindi para sa isang tulad ko
nais ko mang baguhin ay sadyang mahirap pala...

minsan ko nang naranasang
magkaroon ng paboritong sandals
simple lang naman ito
ngunit hindi raw ito ang sandals na tipo ko
kung baga, parang itim at puti
sadyang magkaiba
gayunman, binili ko pa rin itong simpleng sandals na ito
naging katuwang ko siya sa maraming bagay
ito ang ginamit ko noong kumuha ako ng UPCAT
ito rin ang suot ko noong unang araw ng klase
sa hirap at ginhawa'y, higit ang halagang naidulot nito
paano nga naman, ang sarap kasing suotin ng sandals kong iyon
simple lang ang disenyo
madaling ipares sa paborito kong pantalon
komportable pang suotin
bagay sa pinaka-iingatan kong mga paa
lakas ng loob ay binigay rin nito sa akin
kaya lang
kaya lang
hindi ko akalaing darating ang araw na 'yon
hindi naman sa napigtas ang pares ng sandals ko
dumating lang ang pagkakataong naluma na siya
narumihan
unti-unting nasira
marahil, ito'y dulot ng panahon
baka naman masyado ko nang ginamit
nalungkot ako
ang hirap
ilang taon ko rin naman siya ginamit at pinagtiyagaan
hayun, nariyan pa rin siya sa cabinet ko
bihira ko nang masuot
marahil, kung tao siya'y malungkot din siya
pero ganyan talaga
ganyan talaga kasakit ang pagbabago
sa panig ko nama'y hindi ko alam kung ano ang mas masakit
ang tuluyang masira siya
o ang tanggapin ang katotohanang nagbabago ang lahat
at ngayon, dumating na ang panahon
hinihintay-hintay ko muling dumating ang panahong karapat-dapat muling suotin ang sandals na iyon
o baka sakali, matutunan ko nang gamitin ang ibang sandals sa aparador ko.

What's with pseudo-relationships ba? This isn't something I wrote ha...post ko na lang din...dedicated to my bes na rin...and to my sis...haay! Magtiya-tiyaga ba ako sa isang pseudo-relationship? So desperate of me ata...:?

******
Pseudo-relationships.

Pseudo-boyfriends.

Pseudo-girlfriends.

Flings.

Almost like a relationship, but not quite.

It is a phase where the persons involved are more than friends, but not quite lovers.

Puwedeng may verbal agreement, puwedeng wala.

One or both of you may have admitted your feelings, possible ding hindi.

You just let your gestures do the talking for you.

Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari.

Hindi kayo mag-dyowa.

Pero sa kilos niyo, sa mga sinasabi niyo, parang kayo, pero hindi.

This kind of "relationship"can happen at different stages for different reasons.

It can happen after a break-up.

You still love each other, and you want to be with each other but you broke up for a reason.

And for reasons that you alone know, ayaw niyo na muna magkabalikan.

It can also happen before a relationship, iyong pareho kayong nakikiramdam.

Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag-seryoso kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang muna.

Testing lang. (tama ba un?!)

Puwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayo kasi isa sa inyo may ka-relasyon na.

Kaya habang hindi pa siya nakikipag-break doon sa boy/girl (sabi niya makikipag-break siya soon pero di naman niya ginagawa), wala muna kayong relasyon para nga naman hindi siya nangangaliwa kasi "hindi naman kayo."

This pseudo-relationship stage, for a time, can be fun.

Lalo na kung naghahanap ka lang naman ng "KALARO."

Pero huwag ka lang mag-e-expect na may patutunguhan kayo kze wala talagang kasiguraduhan.

So bakit ang daming nagse-settle sa ganitong set up ganoong hindi naman sigurado kung may patutunguhan?

Iba't ibang dahilan.

Puwedeng for fun lang.

Puwedeng "buti na iyan kesa wala" orpuwede na iyang "pantawid-gutom."

Meaning, habang wala pa iyong the real thing, doon muna sa kunwa-kunwarian.

For those who are not in a serious relationship, they would think that pseudo-relationship is better than no relationship at all.

It would be fun, if all you're after is that "kilig" feeling.

But then I learned that although it was only a pseudo-relationship, the emotions were real.

And usually, in this kind of set up, merong malulugi.."ung nainlove sa taong taken na.."

Una, you can't ask him/her to commit.

Since it's not really a relationship, you can't demand commitment from your partner.

Ano ba kayo?

You will always be uncertain about your role in his/her life.

You can't expect him/her to be always there with you.

And if you feel jealous of the other boys/girls, you just have to keep it to yourself.

Ano ka ba niya para magselos?

Pangalawa, what if you fall deeply in love with him/her?

You can't be sure if he/she feels the same way.

Baka nag-a-assume ka lang na mahal ka rin niya.

Even if you are dying to tell him/her you love him/her, you can't.

Because you're not sure if he/she will like it.

Baka mapahiya ka lang.

This stage will always make you wonder where you are in the relationship.

Or if there is a relationship at all.

Pangatlo, what if you become attached too much?

What if you have invested all your emotions and this man/woman hasn't?

What if you remain faithful to him/her, not entertaining other guys/gals, only to find out that he/she is seeing other girls/boys?

Isa pang downside ng pseudo-relationships, it is fleeting.

When a disagreement sets in, or when one of you gets cold, then that would be the end of it.

Unlike in a serious relationship, hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulugar sa isang pseudo-relationship.

Wala kang pinanghahawakan.

Kasi sa pseudo- relationship,there is no "us."

Meron lang "you and me,

"hindi "us".

i saw this from my sister's post...ganda lang...i guess...

I'M NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE!

Yep...that's about nightlife ha...sheesh! You're so green! *You're mind's greener than mine.*

I've had close encounters with nightlife, but last night was totally different. There were no parents hanging around...no sister to bug *except through texting, that is*...no close friends for comfort...but there were my psych groupmates who totally psyched me.

Saya pala noh. *I'm doing realizations here.* I'm beginning to love and hate my pysch 118 class. It has given me this independence and freedom to do things I haven't done before. See...I'm beginning to have a nightlife in Malate. I repeat: Malate. And it's in Manila. Who won't like a research project about Malate? It's work and play combined. Such a great excuse. People just envy our project. *uhmm...* I really don't mind spending a lot every Saturday...unless, it gets to the point when I have to use "my own" money. I hate the technical part of the project. I won't dwell on that na lang. I'd like to see the good side in every story...at least for now. I also hate my busy schedule. Really...don't try taking 20 units again when you're in UP.

After my 5 1/2 hour lecture on Biology yesterday (Saturday), I immediately fled to Manila. I was carrying my overnight haul. We're going to my classmate's place in Villamor to spend the rest of the morning for the data crunching. *I wonder why it has been called that way...* I was alone, commuting to Robinsons Manila in my Malate uniform. Then, I had my "iced tea night".

Shit! I never thought I'm going to drown in iced tea. Is that good or what?! See, I had drunk iced tea for dinner, got a free iced tea from the resto owner we interviewed, and got another one free from Suburbia. Whoa! I don't think I'll be drinking any iced tea soon. Oh, the verdict? I loved the iced tea from Suburbia.

After the wonderful interview from the Rickshaw owner, Steven Go, and his girlfriend (who apparently came from UP also) my group and the ever extraneous variable Danci went to The Library to jumpstart the participant observation activity. We only ate two orders of peanuts...we have to be thrifty eh. It really was fun to be there. The place is not advisable for kids though despite the fact that we saw a kid there. I had my period that time so you can guess what I felt while laughing hard. *Eww!* There were some okray moments but no one can compare to me...I was the okray queen that night...fashion adviser ng grupo eh.

Then, the group had to split up to go to other bars while a pair went streetmapping Adriatico. Krystel and I went to Suburbia where Freeverse and Wiseguys were performing. Entrance was apparently not cheap...good thing they had complimentary drinks. We ate no solid food...just drowned ourselves with iced tea and Cali Ice *for Krystel*. It felt awkward to be there...gosh! First time eh. It was no familiar crowd. The intervals for each band/group was long enough...too much dead air and silent, cold moments accompanied by shivering *blame it on the aircon*. I didn't do much...except observe and text the night away. It felt awkward to be there. The first group we saw was fine...they got the bar people going, hopping, and dancing after 30 minutes...and to think of it, they only played for 45 minutes. I didn't feel like dancing...just can't get over my jitters and shyness. I felt awful for Krystel. She likes to have that good time for dancing but I can't bring myself to it. We can't leave our table pa...lest we lose our things. So there...we danced near our table since the dance floor's far away near the stage. The second band was fine too...more of mellow. There was too much love songs...reminiscing time...except for the time when they asked the audience for someone to go jamming with them on stage. This Salbakuta-looking guy went up and rapped the night away. *I rarely like rap!* People wanted to stop the guy, but he just won't end his song *freestyle daw*. What got him going out Suburbia's doors? His friends deserted him and the band simply ended the song. Haha!

We left at 3am...contented. The entrance fee was totally worth it...for boy watching. The lead singers were really cute. Sayang! We never had the chance to talk to them after their set. We were way off the back to be noticed. Haay...this time, my charm never worked. I kept attracting the wrong people...the barangay chairman's assistant and the guys off the street. Sayang yung Starbucks guy...*sighs dreamily* Lesson: stay up front and learn how to dance! Or...guys in blue shirts are cute *I'm ditching the orange shirt for a while...no prisoners for me*

There...I commuted early the next day at around 7am. I never slept and I felt too perky. Was it the hot choco from Starbucks? I finally got to sleep at around 9am...until 4 pm. Now, I'm perky once again.

SO MUCH FOR MY FIRST TIME. SO WHAT HAPPENS THE MORNING AFTER? --> SLEEP!

(:(:(: Ta-ta! :):):)

Shit! I'm becoming a shopaholic. This one's for real...

I've been going to the mall since last Sunday.

Fine. Sunday's normal. After all, it's a weekend, right? I went to Robinson's Cainta and MetroEast. I tried to buy a new pair of pants and failed so I asked bes to join me after class on Monday.

Bes got sick so I asked my sis to go with me to Sta. Lucia. After searching for like half an hour, I got the pair I liked. I was contented and went home.

Tuesday. I just couldn't help it. Despite my dwindling allowance, I bought the plain white shirt I saw at Pale Bleue the day before. I even borrowed some money from my sister. Gee! I really am desperate.

Come Wednesday, I had my dollars changed to pesos. Shopping again. This time, I bought some school supplies. I went to National Bookstore (three times this week...for the record) and Write Place. I went to Pale Bleue again because I found a damage in the shirt I previously bought.

Thursday...Cello's time. I accompanied my mom to buy some things for my Tito and Tita in Canada. I didn't spend anything. Mama was there eh. =P

Then, my Uncle and Tita are going back to Canada today. Therefore, I went home between classes to see them go. Before that, we went to Sta. Lucia to buy some things. I fought the urge to go to Starbucks after class. Good thing...

Tomorrow, I'm off to Robinson's Manila and Malate again. Sort of jittery but excited. It's our first scheduled bar night. My partner and I are assigned to go to a bar at Adriatico. I'm thinking of Suburbia. We're also going to The Library. Rickshaw Resto too for an interview. Saya diba?!

Moral of the story: Sawa na ako sa mall...but I'm still planning to go shopping this Sunday (thanks to my uncle who supplied me with the dough). Basta shopping, high ang aking energy level. Ewan ko ba...I'm not saving much na tuloy...

Kitchie Nadal. One of the top singers this season. I have nothing to hold against her...except for her lousy MTV (Onemig Bondoc?!?!) and her very familiar surname.

Let's just say I haven't had enough of my ÜBER COOL name. How cool is it that the name Christine (as well as its other variations of Kristine, Cristine, or Khristine) is so popular? In almost every class, there's always a Christine around. My bestfriend's name is Kristine. My seatmate in Soc Sci 2 is Christine. To make it worse, my former classmate is named Kristine Dianne (Diane just happens to be my second name). Luckily, friends had found ways to spice up my name. Aside from Christine and Diane, they've started calling me Ate, Tin, Tiniwinie (thanks to Krystel's ingenuity), Nadz (from my surname), and Nadal (pronounced as Neigh-dal...this one's from Ivy). Others call me by my surname...Nadal. I love my various surnames although it can be confusing at times. Oh...that was until Kitchie Nadal came into the picture (not that I don't like her singing, noh).

Suddenly, most of the people I know comes up to me and asks me if I'm a relative of Kitchie Nadal. It's kinda irritating sometimes. They're too redundant. I thought my surname was kinda unique. I barely know people with that surname (although, if I still have my facts straight, I had had a classmate before who is named Kristine Nadal). Most of my relatives from the Nadal side of the family are far far away in the USA. Sometimes, I wanna repeat the long lecture my professor in Psych 118 told us. FYI, Filipino's surnames were given by Spaniards so the ancestral tracing can be quiet misleading.

Anyway, despite all this angst on having a famous surname (thanks to HER!), I find the situation advantageous. I gained quite a few more friends. Imagine, classmates sometimes approach me and ask if I know HER. (Whoah! Do I know you? Ganito na lang...Do we have any similar features? Then?! So what?!) It's the manner in which they ask me that I find irritating sometimes. I'm slowly trying to deal with it...ask me and I'll give you a forced teeny weeny smile. The surname can turn out to be cool and funny sometimes. I have this groupmate named Kitchie. Imagine this...after calling out Kitchie, they'd call me Nadal (the nickname most people use to call me now). Hehe! =P Also, teachers suddenly recognize me easily. Sometimes, this is where the downside is.

For example, after the long Christmas vacation, my professor in Biology suddenly learned about Kitchie Nadal (probably after days of watching Lovers in Paris). During the first day of classes in January, he called me...but this time, he asked me if I'm not Kitchie. Like duh?!?! Does he want an autograph? The class records say clearly that I'm not Kitchie. My professor in Physics likewise asked the same question (luckily not in front of the class) - "Kamag-anak mo ba si Kitchie?!" Argh! If the UNESCO apps ask me that, promise, I won't sign their sigsheets!

I would just like to clarify some points. I'm not against Kitchie Nadal. I kinda like her...she reminds me of my sister (Hehe! Cathe's going to hate me for this). I would just like to make this clear...not everyone with a Nadal surname is my relative. I don't know Kitchie Nadal personally (but I do know of a certain Nadal you could surely ask...she's really Kitchie's cousin). If fate suddenly tells me that I'm a distant relative of Kitchie, you'll certainly be the first one to know. As for now, stop asking me that freakin' question. *Smiles! (tiniwinie)*

shit!!!!!!!!

i haven't posted since like...eons ago...

am very totally really definitely so-so busy!

and now, i'm very sleepy...

therefore, tulog muna ako...

to be continued...*later!*

~0~0~0~

am back!!!

first of all, happy new year to everyone...this is my first post of the year, right?

i've been facing examinations this week...thus, i haven't logged in for a while...

my feet are in dire need of a foot spa...i've been roaming the streets of the metro yesterday...yep! it's malate time once again...and i thought it was going to be busy.

i really love UPD better than the universities in manila. if you're studying the pollution of manila using accretion, you could just swipe your hanky over your nose and voila! instant evidence...oops! i better include a facial too in my to-do-list...

i'm becoming an expert train passenger already...i tell you, LRT 1 is the worst train ever...it can get so crowded. we even had to wait for another train yesterday since it was so packed. if you're standing, you can even not hold on to any rail if the train starts to move...i guarantee you, you won't fall...another thing...the world's turning upside down already...guys don't offer their seats anymore...sobrang equality naman ata toh...kebs talaga sila. why not try fainting because of the odor? maybe they'll give you a seat...hmm...that gives me an idea.

aside from the arduous process of going house-to-house yesterday to interview Malate residents and walking kilometers, overcoming the heat, and getting your footsies tired, i barely saved money this week...i saved about 500 pesos this week but i kinda spent most of it yesterday. there goes my new pants. ='(

we also went to tomas morato last night. funny thing was we got lost. yeah! we asked for directions from someone waiting for a jeepney at the corner of GMA...rode a taxi up to ABS CBN (haha...kapuso then kapamilya) coz the driver don't know where starbucks morato is...according to a source, there are actually 3 starbucks in the area...one is in the ABS CBN compound...eventually, we found the right starbucks near the bank of commerce...luckily, the person we were supposed to interview was late too...

question: why are all starbucks branches so cold?! i wanted a mocha frap...i had to settle for a hot choco instead...oh well...

we also had to do this participant observation for psych 118 (i tell you, that course is so demanding of my time). my classmates are planning to try to audition for search for the star in a million...yikes! yoko!!! i don't want to entertain the idea...baka mapakita pa nationwide yung audition...i can't explain to everyone that it's for a study noh. bad trip! i'd rather make kaliskis the fish (coñotic) at the palengke...

there goes the rantings of a psychology (not psychotic) student...

hello to my groupmates with whom i am academically involved. =P
