there's a blue sky waitin' tomorrow...

It's just another phase...just another phase...

Yung isang yugto na nais ko mang kalimutan eh mahirap talaga...naguguluhan ako...sabi ko, hindi na ako masyadong aasa...pero ang hirap pala...hindi ko talaga kaya...kaya naman heto eh...hindi ko rin masisi ang iba...hanggang ngayon, patuloy akong nabibigo at nasasaktan...para saan nga ba ang lahat ng ito?

Hindi ba't may punto rin namang hindi na kayang masipsip ng bulak ang lahat ng likido? Ganon din naman ako...dumating na naman yung panahong ayoko na namang makinig...pero yun lang naman ang kaya kong gawin sa ngayon...ang makinig...ang sipsipin ang lahat ng pwedeng masipsip...hanggang dito na muna...ang sobra'y tutulo rin naman parang luha...

Ako rin nama'y may problema rin...ang takbo ng buhay ay ginawa rin naman natin...walang ibang pwedeng sisihin kundi tayo rin naman...ewan ko ba...ayoko ng panghihinayang...dumaan na ako sa kalyeng ito dati...nalagpasan ko naman...at ngayong tinatahak ko muli ang kalyeng ito, nasaan na kaya ang tulay na pwedeng tawirin ko?

-o0O0o-

enough of my sentiments...haay...medyo hindi lang ako ok...obviously...

it's not about losing my phone last thursday...yeah...it was stolen...swerte mo lang magnanakaw ka at medyo bangag ako that day...i prefer not going into details...basta...on a lighter note, i'd be getting a newer phone than the one you stole...although i do have to replace that expensive bag you ruined...sana kinalabit mo na lang ako noh at hiningi yung phone ko...haay...sensya sis...

kung kelan ako umuwi ng maaga eh tsaka naman ako nanakawan...stupidity was the word that day...

friday...from stupidity to uncertainty...basta...na-compensate naman ang lahat ng concert that night...watched hale, spongecola and mymp...(pictures to follow)...may blueberry cheesecake pa and hot choco from starbucks...na-compensate na nga kaya lahat? hmm...

saturday...woke up really late...slept in front of my PC...ang bagal kasi...basta i watched live aids last night...funny yung show...esp. yung mga monologues like that of tuesday...pero medyo hindi pa rin ako ok...superficial ang saya...ayoko ng ganito...pati sarili ko eh niloloko ko...

frustrated and burdened...that's me for today...sensya na...

A Long Post

The past few days have been quite a mix of ups and downs. First of all, my PC gave up on me last Saturday midnight. The motherboard finally needed changing. To think of it, I have tons of work to do for UNESCO pa so I went to Papa's office early last Sunday to retrieve some files from the hard disk. Now, am using one of our old PC. This may be slow but still quite functional…Windows XP naman. But then again, I am experiencing some problems like the RPC problem which I have almost forgotten until now and some restarting problems. This PC just keeps on shutting down and restarting all by itself. Just have to make do with the fact that at least, this still turns on unlike the other PC which just won't turn on whatever I try to do with it.

I've been quite a slacker for this past few days. I've been enjoying lots of free time with a half day class last Thursday due to the UP President's Investiture. Rainier said we should at least attend it coz UP spent hundreds of thousands of pesos for it. Baka galling Vicor pa raw yung dancers. Hehe! Classes were suspended from 10-12 am last Friday for reasons I don't know. But I still didn’t enjoy it as the exam for Env Sci 1 went on as scheduled. And now, Monday, July 25, 2005, I am sitting for half a day in front of my PC because there are no classes…thanks to President GMA’s SONA.

Now let's get to details.

Thursday was quite fine. Spent the afternoon at Cordillera Coffee with Krystel…that was after I watched their practice for their Psych 145 presentation. Bribri and Seth are part of that. Anyaway, got a taste of Oreo cheesecake from Cordillera…my first cheesecake for the week. It wasn't that good though…didn't like the crust. Me and Krystel were surprised that the Café Americano was priced at 20, but we didn’t argue about it na lang. Lucky us.

Then, I joined Krystel, Joyie, and Danci at the youth service. It was my first time to join them. They were inviting me a long time ago pa, but after some time thinking, I finally decided to go. Maraming hesitations…like how was I going to ask permission from my parents. Actually, kay Mama lang ako humingi ng permission. She was quite open about religion. Ok lang naman basta hindi nasasagasaan yung religion din naming. Si Papa kasi maraming sinasabi. Just don't wanna listen. As for me, natatakot lang ako that I might be quite offending. I know that there are lots of singing and some dancing and baka matawa lang ako or something. But you know what, I kinda enjoyed the singing and a bit of the dancing. Not that I was dancing. Pero with the drums, the electric guitar, the organ and the singing, mapapaindak ka talaga. It kinda reminded me of one mass I attended at Cebu. Sana ganon din sa Church namin…great religious songs and all. In a way, alam kong I won’t really be the Christian that Joyie or Krystel is. But one thing I have to thank them is that they've thought me to appreciate my own religion. Mas napalapit ako kay God.

Some lessons I learned from that night: Three Secrets to a Fulfilled Life
1. Participation -> Lagi naman eh…doon ko nalaman that Hitler was voted to the Nazi Party for only one vote. Maraming nababago sa pagpaparticipate. The past would have been different kung nagpaparticipate lahat.
2. Perspective -> Each of us have our own perspectives. I’d like to add na kailangan ding matutunan nating maging open sa iba’t ibang perspective ng mga tao. We have to learn to respect them that way. Nagustuhan ko yung point that night…about dying. The speaker talked about dying…yung process of dying. The speaker talked about dying yung parang kina Elijah (if I'm not mistaken)…yung diretso ka sa heaven without actually experiencing death…and meron ding dying like a martyr. But this child said that he actually wanted to experience death itself. Oo nga naman…we can only experience death once…and this child wanted to actually experience it. Kung ako tatanungin, takot pa rin akong mamatay. I don't even wanna talk about it that much. Kung may ideal partners tayo, may ideal death din…and a painless death is what most of us want.
3. Pass it on -> Enough said. I do hope you get what this means.

Friday was one long day for me. I was garbed in white (shirt and skirt) thinking that I could get home before it rains. The day was sunny by the way. But then again, nahabol din ako ng ulan. I had to carefully watch every step just so the rain couldn't mess my outfit. But I still liked what I wore that day anyway.

I attended all my classes that day…went to the UNESCO tambayan for my break…and took my Env Sci exam. I was the first one to finish it in about less than an hour. Thanks to my friends who gave me tips regarding the type of exam Sir gives. Then, I had lunch with Joyie and Danci…we went to CS Canteen first, but it was a steaming sauna I must say. We decided to eat at NISMED where the canteen's airconditioned at least. Then, I had to make tambay again for quite some time until 2:30. I went to PHAn by then to meet Krystel so that we could score our test from Psych 162. Joyie was there too since they had a cell meeting. CJ came and we had this joyride up to CS where Krystel had return a book to the library. Ate my second cheesecake that week…it was a blueberry cheesecake from CJ. Danci and I had a bet kasi…I don't wanna get into details but it involved CJ and I kinda lost so I had to give Danci a devil's food cake from Chocolate Kiss or a chocolate caramel from Cordillera Coffee. If I won, I could have gotten a blueberry cheesecake. Anyway, CJ gave me one so I guess the bet's fine…although the cake he gave wasn't totally cheesecake at all. Parang chiffon cake with a bit of icing at the side and blueberry topping. Then, at 5:30, I had a UNESCO EXECOM meeting at the AS lobby. Ken lost his phone by the way sometime between the meeting. He left it at the CR and when he came back, it was gone. Sana lang hindi na maihi yung kumuha. I don’t think it could have fallen down into the toilet anyway.

Then, at around 7pm, I found myself at the Film Institute with Cathe, my sis, and some more friends. We’re watching Lasponggols. Last minute decision toh. Thanks again to CJ for giving the money. Sobrang wala na kasi akong money for the movie, but I heard great reviews about it. Cathe also wanted to watch it. Since Krystel was watching it for a class requirement and Joyie and Danci were going too, join na rin ako. CJ wasn’t able to go since he brought his dad's car along and he has to return it early that day.

The movie was great. It was an independent film. I won't go into details with the synopsis but it starred a great cast with Epy Quizon in it. I enjoyed the group I was with – Krystel, Joyie, Danci, Jenny, Cathe, Richel and Aiza (dunno if I got the spelling right). Medyo late na nagstart and ang tagal naming nakapila. We were joking about the people in charge already just to spare us of boredom. But before anything else, we were among the first who took the opportunity to get the director's (Sigfreid Barros-Sanchez) autograph in our tickets. Si Danci ang frontliner. Para kaming fans…nakakahiya pero duh?! Masaya pa rin kami. May digicam din si Cathe na dala so nakipag-picture taking pa yung iba. We were seated 3 rows in front of the VIPs…in front of Epi Quizon, Ricky Lee, Danny (from the APO Hiking Society), the director, and several other casts. Na-starstruck ata kami. Supposedly, before the show, lalapit kami kay Epi…pero after na naming nagawa. Nagpapicture din kami…solo kay Jenny since she took the first pic. Hehe! Galing talagang dumiskarte non. Tapos, nagpaiwan pa sina Danci and Joyie sa loob. Napanood kasi nila yung Pinoy Blonde. They wanna speak a line from the movie in front of Epi ata or something. Danci did it ata…may handshake pa. Haha! I bet we looked hilarious that night. After the show, nakipagkamay pa yung director. "Thanks to your group," he said. Ewan ko lang noh. Kapansin-pansin talaga kami that night. Bahala na. I don't think we'll see more of him naman for quite some time…enough time for him to forget us. But we won’t forget him especially with his weird yet cute shirt. Basta!

Anyway, Krystel spent the night at the house since it was quite late for her and Danci to go back to Parañaque. Helped Papa with some stuff at the PC until it crashed when I was using it.

Ayon…without the PC, I just spent my Saturday sleeping until I got a headache. Sobrang tulog talaga…you can't imagine it. Then I spent Sunday's early morning with tantrums…angry at the PC for not starting. You’d have to drag me to my bed before I finally decided to sleep and finally give up. Sabi nga ni Papa, I can't control everything.

Sunday was spent doing pure UNESCO stuff. And now, Monday, it’s still UNESCO stuff am doing…but less of it…enough time for me to do some blogging and computer updating.

So there…what can you say about the President's SONA? It was quite short no. I guess she was really careful about her speech. It was not boring though…but it created a heavy traffic and classes were suspended…perhaps to honor it noh. =P Bakit kaya hindi pumalakpak si Drilon. Thirty-two pa naman ata yung times na may pumalakpak. Ang media talaga…pati 'yon binibilang.

So there…this post's quite long pala. Ang tagal ko na rin kasing hindi nakakapag-update. I hope the PC is fixed soon. You know what, Papa was gabbing about buying lots of stuff last Sunday…sana matuloy…yung DSL…yung flash disk…and laptop. My…he gets really talkative when there's lots of problems. Just the right timing he needs. I still hope it doesn’t go down the drain this time.

Finally, share ko lang yung jokes ni Papa…luma nga pero sa pagkaluma, nakalimutan ko na yung sagot.

How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?

You open the refrigerator, put the giraffe inside, and close the refrigerator.

How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator?

You open the refrigerator, take the giraffe out, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator.

May meeting daw lahat ng mga hayop…sinong hindi nakapunta?

Eh di yung elephant…nasa refrigerator pa kasi siya…

Eh paano ka makakatawid sa ilog na maraming crocodiles?

Eh di simple..daan ka lang sa kahit anong paraang gusto mo…busy sila…nasa meeting kasi…

Nyark! =P

TiMe

It's not everyday that you get to find time alone for yourself nowadays. Time is a luxury worthy of bookkeeping. Heck! I haven't even noticed it slip from my long groping fingers. Out of control. Without boundaries. This makes me love water even more.

Gone are the moments of meditation and reflection. I even miss daydreaming. How pathetic can this life be? Who would have thought that a few hours of sleep and a few hours more for study could be challenging?

If there's any consolation to one long day of spending time, it's eating and talking with friends, who, like me, are also probably trying to make sense out of life. I just hope there's much sense that we could squeeze out of it. ;)

Cliche holds some truth no matter how rusty it sounds. Time flies before you notice it. Like the comet, all that's left is a tail of memories that's forever there. There are memories you'd love to repress and hate. Some are better locked and treasured in your own treasure chest. No wonder why it's so hard to forget things.

I'd love to follow that comet's trail and look onwards to the future where all my dreams and aspirations are. I'm nearly there, I guess not. For the past just keeps trailing behind. For the past transcends the present and future. It's like life's own ancestor. Life is the evolution.

If only time is an adviser and a listener. I pity him then for my incessant rants.

Nothing shall I regret. I guess this is destiny then which I took. A cup of options, a dash of choices. Wasted nothing I should say.

One last request though. I need more time. I better learn to control you then. For the past keeps knocking, the present needs working out, and the future better stay put, on hold.

Damn! I just need time to think, mind you.

life's special gift...:)

Time is too precious. A life is a moment in season. A life is one snowfall. A life is one autumn day. A life is the delicate, rapid edge of a closing door's shadow. A life is brief movement of arms and of legs.

--> Einstein's Dreams

hapi burtdei to me! :)

yep! today's my birthday...am stuck here at home with tons of schoolwork to do...plus some housework since mama's sort of experiencing some kinda vertigo at this moment...

anyway, am also not really in the mood for organizing my thoughts but well...here goes nothing...

had a wonderful time last friday...

simula pa lang ng araw, nakikinikinita ko nang magiging maayos ang lahat...

i was supposed to meet danci at the CS...may ibibigay daw siya...pero siyempre, na-late ako so pinaiwan niya sa guard...hinanap ko agad pagdating ko...late na nga ako pero niloloko pa ako ng guard at ayaw ibigay agad yung hinahanap ko...anyway, nabigay rin naman with matching happy birthday greeting din from the lady guard at dun sa faculty na dumaan...

ang saya saya ko...thanks to danci for being so thoughtful...nakakatuwang isipin na naalala ng isang tao yung isang bagay na sinabi mo before...and i appreciate that...binigyan niya ako ng one dozen red roses...first time ko talagang makatanggap ng flowers for my birthday (as far as i can remember)...dream ko yon eh...makatanggap ng flowers...fave ko yung tulips pero duh...ang mahal kasi non...ok na yung roses...grabe talaga! super duper thanks kay danci...

pero syempre, lugging the bouquet around can be quite eye catching...so i left it at the tambayan first...everyone who has seen it asked kung kanino raw galing...pag sinasabi kong galing kay danci, tinatanong ako if pinopormahan daw ako ni danci...nyark! a guy doesn't have to like you (more than a friend) just to give you flowers...oh well...at least for me...tsaka, friends lang talaga kami non...and he's one of the best guy friends to have around...

ayon...pareho ata ng wavelength sina cathe at danci at pareho silang nagbigay ng flowers...nagbigay din si sister pero one blue rose...natalo daw siya ni danci...hehe! oh well...special din naman yung sayo sis...thanks din...and now, i so love the house...ang daming fresh flowers...natutuwa akong mag-ayos ng flowers every now and then...syempre, you have to cut the flowers and change the water every day para ma-prolong yung life ng flower diba...

medyo busy ako last friday but it was fine...i got to hang around with bessy...met some friends at around lunchtime...i got to see a lot of people...i like that...

at around 5pm, we went home...by "we", i mean, me, krystel, joyie, danci and cj...as a birthday celebration, we're going to have a cooking party...we dropped by the grocery to buy some stuff...then, we headed home...sinundo kami nina mama at papa so hindi masyadong hassle...by the way, i finally got to eat my blueberry cheesecake that night so that's already crossed out in my wishlist...tapos, i got this cute piggy bank from my sis and her boyfriend...actually, pera talaga ng bf niya...nasa pix ung pig...pwede rin siyang pillow...

cooking was kinda tiring but fun...daming food...we slept late na rin...sayang lang that they have to go home early since cj's attending a wedding at around 10am...but that was fine pa rin...

ayon...i spent most of my saturday sleeping...thus, today, i shall study more...

finally, harry potter book 6 is out...my uncle bought it for me...and now, he's currently reading it...sabi ni aunty, hindi pa rin daw niya binibitawan...midnight na sa doncaster...haay...am so excited to read that book...pero sa october ko pa siya mahahawakan...we'll see each other by then...sa boracay! :)

i was watching MTV kanina...parokya ni edgar was being interviewed...nalaman ko na "funk" pala also meant a musky odor produced by sweat...wala lang...so bagay talaga siya sa rexona commercial...

anyway, i have my official star na rin pala...am not sure if it's really true pero free siya eh...gift ng Astrology.com for my birthday...doon ako naka-subscribe for my horoscopes...wait...post ko yung pix and coordinates...it's located in the Andromeda (the princess) constellation...

caT skiNniNg is fuN! nyOrk...=P

Here is your horoscope for Thursday, July 14: It's going to be a busy day, and your family will be a large part of that. If they're taking up too much time, and your sweetheart feels the need to fight for your attention, draw the line. It's only fair.

My horoscope's an understatement!

I had one hectic day of acads. Psych 162 (which usually ends early despite the 3 hour schedule) extended for about 15 minutes. I was jittery as my watch's hands ticked each second. I have a Psych 140 class after and I am kinda expecting a learning check (which is somewhat similar to a quiz). Luckily, there was no learning check for Psych 140 and a skit was done instead. Fine for me.

Then came Bio 102. It's cat skinning day. Arggh! I don't really give a damn on skinning the cat. It's dead anyway. Bad trip lang coz I have colds. How do you expect someone to blow her nose and wipe her teary eyes (due to formalin) with both her hands in dirty gloves? It was truly a bad timing for my colds. Anyway, I did enjoy skinning the cat for a while there but the heat and formalin got the best of me. Poor cat by the way. At least Ivy, my partner, and I did her justice. The funny thing was we were supposed to use cheesecloth to cover the cat, but we had a brand new cheesecloth complete with the flour. We decided to brush the flour off at the girl's cr and ended up dirtying the place...hehe! As Ivy said, if we were way back in high school, we would be sent to the principal's office for it. Oh well...at least, we're not in high school anymore. It was quite a relief. =P

I was too tired after that I just went home and took a bath...but that was after eating dinner and watching some shows.

Funny title for Maalaala Mo Kaya today: "Hollow Blocks"...it does ring a bell. =P

Anyway, have to go. I just cleaned up the house because some friends are going to sleep here tomorrow for my birthday celebration. Too tiring...the things are on top of the bed and other high places because it almost flooded inside the house about a couple of weeks ago...remember? Good thing that my lab exam is moved on Monday and not this Saturday.

Arrivederci! :D

EDSA 4 na? sabi nila, ibang lugar naman daw...hehe! gaguhan na lang talaga...i hope the people use both their minds and hearts...baka pagsisihan din natin ang lahat sa huli...sa ginagawa natin, baka lalo lang din kasi nade-destabilize ang economy...am not sure of that din coz i don't really know much of the economy...hmm...is this a good time para magpapalit ako ng foreign money? =P

Malate - ang ultimate bonding place para sa amin...kelan kaya uli kami bibisita?

PHAn lobby - the ultimate tambayan...ngayon lang ako napapadalas tumambay dito...safe pa kahit alas-otso na ng gabi...thanks sa mga guards...

lola lita's - magandang puntahan pag 11-2 at 6-8 pm...sa mga oras na ito lang bukas ang aircon...super cheap food at rarely puno...the best ang tokwa with the special sauce...

continuation agad?

am back! nde pa ako tapos kumain pero medyo nag-a-accelerate na ang aking brain neurons ngayon...

as i was saying, UNESCO Night was a success...i just love the food...sabihin na nilang mukha akong pagkain pero masarap kasi talaga siya...i tasted everything...at 2 pa yung kinuha kong spring rolls (controlled yung food eh...1-2 spring rolls lang...maximum na ang kinuha ko noh ;)...)hehe! so takaw of me...

KontraGapi, Slow Dive, UP Rep showcased their talents...Samaskom and a certain band were supposed to be there pero Samaskom didn't show up tapos the last band was very late...as in 5 mins. before 10pm...we only reserved the place til 10pm...wala ng food and audience...wala rin silang drum set...so labuan talaga...nagperform din si bes...hehe! OI with ken...ganda nung script, "Sub Text"...syempre, they did the OI piece with the UP Rep as an audience...

buti na lang din, after that, hinatid nga ako ni alain, an orgmate, sa AS...he can't watch the concert kasi may exam siya today...sayang nga eh...eion...sayang din at hindi ko kasama si bangie...eh kasi may exam din siya...math 100 yan gurl...i know...good luck and god bless! (bahala na kung anong mas matimbang sa dalawa ngayon =P)

since free yung concert and sa AS steps nga siya, medyo sa sahig ka lang naman uupo...gitna ng kalye actually...tapos, may mga kasama kang mga taong labas (you know what i mean)...nagkakagulo from time to time pero keri naman ng security...galing nung mga bands...kakaaliw yung giniling festival...ok din yung cueshe (first time to actually hear their whole song)...nandon na naman ule yung UP Rep...at marami pang iba...usually, 3 songs per band naman...stonefree yung nagtugtog nung umalis ako...what can i do? nandon na si papa eh...he has to go to dagupan today...actually...kakaalis lang niya...mga quarter to 3am ata siya umalis...ang lapit na ng spongecola eh...sayang...nasa likod ko na sila...we were lucky enough to be seated sa may harap talaga...super near the "stage"...i'd like to thank joyie for that...medyo rowdy na rin kasi yung crowd doon mismo sa harap (yung actual area for the audience)...scary lang...mausok pa (yosi galore lang talaga)...medyo mahirap nga lang sa harap kasi we have to twist our neck para makita yung band...kasi diba nga stairs siya...medyo nasa baba kami ng stairs eh...imaginin niyo na lang...tapos, malapit din kami sa speakers...ramdam ko yung paggalaw ng paligid...lindol ba ito?! tapos, ang dami kong wire na inuupuan...safe naman siya...distracting lang...eion...but maganda pa rin...medyo analytical na rin kasi ako sa lyrics ngayon kaya naman nae-enjoy ko na kahit papaano yung songs...ewan ko ba...mas nahihilig ako sa music ngayon compared nung HS...i think it really pays to have friends who are musically inclined...hehe!:) na-revive yung hilig ko sa music kahit papaano...

haay...sana payagan na ako ni papa magdala ng car sa school...gagamitin ko sana kanina para i can go home any time i want...pero duh?! mahirap atang isakatuparan ang request na iyon...

lapit na birthday ko...wala lang...

nagpaparamdam?!

good morning sa lahat...may orientation pa mamaya sa PUGAD so kailangan ko nang matulog...hindi naman siguro ako babangungutin kung matutulog ako ngayon right after i ate diba? oh well...bahala na si God...nagkasabay ang antok at gutom eh...may magagawa ba ako?=P



let's eat! :)

first of all, let me set the clock straight...it's saturday, july 9, 1:50 am. medyo gising pa ako kasi kakagaling ko lang sa UP...

ano nga ba ang nangyari today?

wala lang naman...isa lang yung class ko...7am pa...pero na-late ako...luckily, late din yung prof ko...mas late pa sa akin...bakit ako late kamo? eh kasi may naiwan ako sa bahay...yung precious cds ni bribri...oh well...ok lang naman...wala naman kaming ginawa dahil inabot ng isang dekada yung pagbabalik ng mga exam results namin...happy ako kasi mataas yung grade ko...sana ma-uno ko yung natsci 2...have to...goal talaga siya...

tapos, hindi ako agad umuwe...tumambay muna ako sa booth ng PUGAD tapos sa booth ng UNESCO...kaka-reaff interview ko lang nung thursday sa PUGAD...wala lang...just sharing...kakaiba noh...ang galing kasi may reaff interview...people-oriented nga siya...

ayon...umuwe na ako after para magpahinga...tapos, nakatulog ako...paggising ko, nagre-resign na yung sampung gabinete ni GMA...tapos, Game Ka Na Ba? pa...nakuha pala yung 1 million question yesterday...ano kaya yon?

eion...from 2:30-4 eh namili lang naman ako ng susuotin para sa UNESCO Night...can't think of anything to wear kasi lahat ng gusto kong suotin eh nasa laundry pa...hindi pa kami naglalaba dito sa bahay...wala kasi si mama...wala rin kaming time maglaba...i might try the washing machine later...i don't even know how to manipulate it diba? good luck to me...

UNESCO Night went well...ang daming peeps...ang saya...medyo na-underestimate ang dami ng taong dumating pero keri lang...sarap din ng food...ang dami kong inuwi na flowers...

ay...tapos, after non, nagpahatid ako kay alain sa AS (thanks alain!) para manood nung free concert...was with danci, cj, and dan...ganda nung mga performances...sayang nga lang at hindi ko napanood ang spongecola at sessionroad...pero nakita ko naman yung former...thanks joy at doon kami nakaupo sa restricted area near the stage...hehe! =P medyo scary din sa first location namin...nagkakagulo yung mga squatters...oh well...what can we expect...free nga kasi siya eh...

ayon...pero ang saya...ganda rin ng araw ko...na-obsess din ako sa kakakuha ng mga pix kanina...ang dami kong nakuha...

o sige na muna...hindi detailed yung kwento ko ngayon..next time na lang yung iba...i wanna eat na...kaka-saing ko lang at naubos ang rice kanina...2:20 am na...pero kakain pa ako...ciao! =P

aarm ayy stil mahking senze? zz.z..z.z..z...

shux! i miss blogging...eh kasi naman, i've been so busy lately with acads...ha! yeah right...acads nga...and i'm practically surviving with my 1-2 hr sleeping habit lately...amazing! *using JL's style of pronounciation*

grabe talaga yang bio...every week yung exam...my neurons can't take it anymore...as in everything's stored in my short term mem...ayoko naman ng ganon...i wanna learn talaga...pero so far, my grades are ok so am fine with it...with ok, i don't mean i'm doing better...i expected more kasi pero what can i do? oh well...

then, right now, mom's at the province...lola got buried yesterday pero magtatagal pa ata si mama doon...more or less before my birthday on july 17...sana lang umuwi na siya...ang hirap ng kami lang nina cathe at papa sa bahay...i did a list of tasks we all should do in a day pero mahirap pa rin...am multitasking to the nth power na...like what am doing now...just don't ask na lang...*after some time*...fine! am eating and chatting (YM) with some friends...talking about life, love, acads, and havaianas (not necessarily in order)...

sayang...i wasn't able to join UNESCO's tree planting activity yesterday...5 lang daw silang dumating...buti na lang at joint project yon with the antipolo local gov't...kahit papaano eh may mga student volunteers...300 seedlings ata yung tinanim sa highway...hanep! pero sayang talaga...pangarap ko yon...yung sumali sa isang tree planting event...dati nga, gusto kong may punong nakapangalan sa akin...and for that, i totally blame bio...eh kasi naman...nakakatulog ako...nakatulog ako with pepsi, water and hot pizza at my side...haay...no effect ang food...

ok...fine...am drained na talaga...am very sleepy...hindi ko na matandaan yung mga stories na dapat kong i-share...next time...promise! :)

beaUty and the beAst..stiLL raNting abouT it...

i really am very busy this weekend...

i haven't even finished all the things i planned to do...at 5 am na ako natulog...

well, na-compensate naman lahat ng beauty and the beast...yup! just watched it kanina sa meralco theater...was with my sister...i didn't know it was the fourth highest grossing musical of all time (passing miss saigon) until i have read the program...

it was quite like the movie rin...pero syempre, nothing beats a live performance...medyo biased nga lang ako, but hey...i so love theater...sayang nga lang and i don't know how to act...therefore, hanggang audience man lang diba...it was mostly musical...great voices...plus great choreography...i couldn't really explain it...syempre, inabangan ko yung scene sa movie where the kitchen utensils were dancing and singing...meron din noh...it was one of the best scenes in the play...

anyway, we watched kc and not karel...ok lang naman if si karel pero i prefer kc kasi si karel, nandyan lang naman...minsan lang mapanood si kc eh...

ang saya rin coz we were seated 8 rows from the stage, orchestra left...ang lapit...sa sobrang lapit eh nakikita ko na nga yung lapel nung mga performers...pero syempre, since orchestra yon, marami na namang elite people...yung nasa likod nga namin ni cathe eh panay ang kaka-english...may mga showbiz personalities din...i even saw gretchen barretto (dati kasi, and sometimes even up to now, sinasabi nilang kamukha ko siya)...well, naghatid lang naman siya ng mga bata doon sa area...i dunno if she watched the full performance...pero, in fairness, ganda ng body niya ha...pero medyo chaka yung suot niya...oh well, off lang yung bag...sobrang metallic gold kasi...

oh well...3 hours din yung show...sulit yung binayad ko (haay...ang ipon)...sobrang ginaw rin...ganda ng interiors ng meralco theater...at ang laki nung fish sa fishpond ha...ano ba tong pinagsasasabi ko...sige na nga...madaling araw na pala...may class pa bukas...haay...have to study pa...waaah!!!

ang aga namin sa theater kanina...eh since walang magawa, napagdiskitahan na naman namin ni cathe yung digicam niya...hehe! =P

winDang-eRs!

windang ako ngayon...

as in! ewan ko ba...

maaga kaming na-dismiss sa ES1...as in 30 mins advanced siya...may break pa kami...feeling ko, cigarette break lang yon noh for my prof...tsaka break din ng projector para hindi naman mag-overheat...

textmate ko si danci from 9 am til 11:30 am...well, naghahanap lang naman siya ng spinach at eucalyptus...sa rustans supermarket sa katips na namin nahanap ang spinach...at marami talaga siya...isang bundle ba naman...baka ginagawa na nga niya yong pulutan ngayon...=P

tapos, dali-dali rin kaming bumalik sa UP for a quick lunch sa SC kasama si krystel (na sa hindi mawaring dahilan eh...uhm...secret na lang)...sa kinainan ule namin kahapon...bang, remember nung halos 2 days in a row tayong bumalik dati sa Wok this Way nung na-discover natin ang seafood rice? parang ganito ule yon pero tokwa naman ang craving...after ng isang madaliang meal, nagmadali uli kami sa paghahanap ng jeep...sa hindi mawaring dahilan (ule) eh walang bakanteng upuan para sa tatlo sa Ikot so nag Toki na lang kami...si danci muna tapos hinabol na namin ni krystel yung jeep after too much deliberation...whatever! mahabang kwento...

ayon...then i checked EA's pictures sa FC gallery 1...hehe!sensya na EA...medyo funny nga siya gaya ng sabi nila...paano? sunugin na natin yung mga pictures?

after that, kumain kami ng ice cream ni bang (with the dila and the tulo =P)...tapos, meeting sa specproj...tapos, nagdikit kami ng sangkatutak na posters sa AS ni bes...kapagod...four floors tapos three boards per floor...as in! tour ba?

ayon...na-windang talaga ako...buti na lang at pina-cancel ko yung reaff interview ko kanina...ewan ko na lang noh...

tumambay lang ako sa casaa...kain na naman...picture picture ule using bri's phone...tapos, nilaro ko ule yung bounce...tapos, naghanap na kami ng taxi...pupunta kasi sina bes, charls, seth, at ken sa ateneo to watch a presentation...sinundo rin si am-am sa starbucks...ako eh naki-hitch na rin...hanggang katips lang naman...

oh well...yoko na magsulat...windang ako...can't really collect my thoughts well...

pero alam kong may mali talaga sa akin ngayon...kung ano yon eh secret na lang ule...=P
