my fave rockstar

Ang gulo ng buhay ngayon. The most important thing I want to accomplish before anything else is to graduate. The real thing ha. Not the made up ones they used to concoct way back during Martial Law.

Classes were not suspended anymore kanina. Pero, musta naman?! Along CP Garcia, two of UP's gates were closed. These gates were the last ones to be closed because they were important Ikot routes. Therefore, we entered UP via the main gate in front of Quezon Hall. Eto pa...carless oval. Therefore, traffic pa. Anyway, all the hassle was for nothing. Wala akong morning class kasi may university meeting ang mga prof. I waited for hours just so I could attend my 1pm Physics class. Such a bore. I just spent the rest of the time chatting with friends, trying to make sense of things, and checking other people's UPCAT results. It was a funny sight. Lots of people. Lots of whooping. Some crying. Some in denial. 1 out of the 6 people I checked made it. Depressing. Only 4 boards worth of UPCAT passers. I swear. The numbers lessen each year.

You enter UP now and you'd feel like it was a different country. No rules. Lots of red ribbons. Lots of police. According to my sister, PP 1017 free zone ang UP so no arrests can happen in it. Maraming rally. Everyone seems against the PP 1017. I told Mama, if things do get really worse, I'll join the rally. Pero I decided wag na lang ule. Pag nahuli ako, wala akong pantubos. Shux! ;p

What keeps me amused lately? I have a rockstar for a pet dog. ;) *notice the hair?* He takes no offense.

He just looks too tired. Too many photo ops.

***

Am beginning to dislike Rocksteddy. Fame seems to be getting into their heads. It doesn't help if Cathe convinces me on this. I only hear them singing one song and when other singers sing with them, they (or simply the singer) seem to sing most of the song...disregarding the other singers. Lots of people can recite poems and sing. Really.

on the political crisis

The country's in a political turmoil and I feel like not being apolitical as of this moment.

It's hard to imagine...what if Martial Law happens again? I surely don't want to experience that.

I turned on the TV set early this evening and was unaware of the situation at the Fort Bonifacio. I was instantly curious and glued to the TV for quite a while. Papa was saying he'd want to go to Fort Bonifacio as well. Ayokong sumama pa siya sa gulo.

Unless Miranda says something live to the media people, I'll continue believing he was relieved and he didn't resign (willingly).

NTC keeps cutting off some telephone conversations. What's happening to media freedom huh?

Checkpoints seem to be everywhere. Sana hindi na lang sinabi ni Cory Aquino na pupunta siya sa Fort Bonifacio diba.

No classes tomorrow. Hmm...;p

Funny story:

TV suddenly was cut off (static on screen).


Me: Hala! Pinutol na yung news!
Cathe: Natanggal lang yung antenna.

Haha! She was right. I'm preempting Martial Law.

Hope it doesn't happen. Scary!

I wanna graduate. :)

Commitment May Be Good for You
People in Committed Relationships Are Happier Overall

Dec. 7, 2005 -- People in committed relationships are happier than people who aren't, and married people may be the happiest of all.

A new study shows people who are married report the highest levels of well-being, regardless of whether they are happily married or not.

"Even when controlling for relationship happiness, being married is associated with higher self-esteem, greater life satisfaction, greater happiness, and less distress," says researcher Claire Kamp Dush, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Social Sciences at Cornell University, in a news release.

Next in line on the happiness scale were people who were co-habitating in committed relationships, followed by those in stable relationships and those casually dating.

"In general, people appear to feel better about themselves and their lives when they move into a more committed relationship," says Kamp Dush. "Some commitment appears to be good, but more commitment appears to be even better."

Commitment Is Healthy

In the study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, researchers analyzed information from 691 young adults who were surveyed in 1992 and 1997. About 30% were married and 8% were co-habitating with a partner at the time of the first survey.

Researchers assessed overall well-being using measures of self-esteem, life satisfaction, general happiness, and distress symptoms.

The results showed that married people reported the highest well-being and happiness, while people who dated infrequently or not at all reported the lowest.

Researchers say the study confirms that having a romantic relationship makes both men and women happier, and the stronger the relationship's commitment, the greater the well-being and happiness of the partners.

The finding that people in relatively unhappy marriages appeared to benefit from being married perhaps stemmed from the stability, commitment, and social status of the relationship, the researchers say.

In addition, the study showed that that people who reported lower levels of well-being and happiness during the first survey were more likely to move into more committed relationships by the second survey, and those who did reported greater happiness.

"If they were using committed relationships as a strategy to improve their well-being, it appeared to work," says Kamp Dush.

blogger: test connection now

i thought i'd never be this pessimistic in my entire life. well...it's happening now.

bes said i'd have to think positive to attract good energy.

i'm afraid of how my interview at UPCM will turn out. i know i wanted to pass it but i don't know if my reasons are appropriate. i have set my heart into it but for some wrong reasons.

i'm feeling the pressure.

***

aunty edna called awhile ago and asked me about my med plans.

she bought me books already...fiction ha. not school books.

she asked me what i'd like to receive for my graduation if ever i do get to graduate with honors (since that makes me second in the fam). i asked her for a trip abroad.

uncle john insisted i check out this island in bohol where i could go whale and dolphin watching. we could go out swimming while feeding the sharks. so what's (or who's) the food then huh?

hyper he. he even talked to me about Maslow and his psych book. i switched into a British accent immediately after. weird.

oh...uncle john by the way is a foreigner and my aunt's husband.

***

i slept throughout the afternoon...not caring about the situation happening right now. proclamation 1017. shit! i'm being passive once again.

guingona looks really funny on tv. i thought he looked like a comedian.

seen randy david? he looked to poised and composed on tv. as if it wasn't hot wearing long sleeves. cool eh.

gma looked kinda small on the tv screen awhile ago. uhm...

politics really bores me. sorry. it's the same shit over and over again. we never learn. i read somewhere that the real EDSA1 has not really ended. it was just a start. i want it to end.

loving examinations :)

I finished two of my journal entries for Psych 171...finally! I'll try to pass this tomorrow and finally resort to thinking about my interview this Friday. My nerves are finally getting into me. I better do something about it. I hate making bloopers on a major situation.

I finally finished the medical and dental examination at St. Luke's today. I never thought I'd enjoy an examination this much. It's rare for me to have a thorough medical and dental examination that's why I love having one. Hehe! Weird me. It pays that St. Luke's has nice facilities. The people were overly accomodating. The doctor was like a grandmother. Bagal niyang kumilos. Hehe! ;p She's nice...really. Daming chika. I even learned that the girl before me had her birthmark removed (through laser). Musta naman ang history? The dentist naman was a nice conversationalist. We talked a lot actually. She's a UP graduate too who suggested that I study med in UP instead. O diba? I was kinda curious when she handed me a mirror...yun pala, she'll talk to me about my teeth so I know its condition as well. O diba? My medical & dental examination turned out to be a lesson as well. I learned how to do real breast examinations (not from books and TV anymore), found out what levoscoliosis is really about and learned its difference from dextroscoliosis (I have levoscoliosis kasi), learned about risky grooves and pits in my teeth, enamel hypoplasia, tartar mineralization, and why I better have prophylaxis soon. Gee! I'm really enjoying this.

Eh kasi naman...sa UP...kainis yung medical/dental. If hindi ka sanay, you'd get traumatized. I do hope you get what I mean.

Ay...na-traumatize pala ako sa St. Luke's...dahil sa weight ko na na-register sa kanilang weighing scale (na pinaglaruan namin ni Ivy ;p). Joke lang. :D

***

Anyway, I went home late once again last night. I watched Psychoustics at PHAn. It almost didn't push through...enaco kasi! This Friday, I'd be going home late again. This is turning out to be a habit. =p

.....*catching up*.....

Now, I'm finally in the mood to write (not discounting the fact that I have a paper due tomorrow). I've decided that misery is a choice...and so is happiness.

Let's start where I've left off...that wasn't too long ago.

HAPPY S.A.D.

Ironic isn't it?

I'm talking about Vday...another Happy Single Awareness Day for me. It has been a cycle for like 20 years already. However, the realization of such has been quite recent. Of course, who'd care about Vday when you're still in diapers. I hope you get what I mean.

Anyway, this Valentine's Day, I found myself in ChocKiss just like it was two years ago. This time, it was only me and my bestfriend (and missing some friends like Krissy and Yella). Well, Krissy's on a relationship just like before and Yella...well, I haven't heard much from her lately. Bes and I were wearing pink (just like most people were that day). Who cares if we're single? Hindi lang naman pang single and Valentine's Day eh.

Now, you may be wondering what Bes and I were doing at ChocKiss that day. Bes actually won in UNESCO's raffle and the prize was a date for two at ChocKiss. I tagged along (with her invitation naman). We waited for more than five hours because the reservations were at 7:30pm. We almost didn't eat there pa nga eh. Apparently, there had been some problems with the reservations which we eventually had fixed...thanks to Cokie. I thought I waited 5 hours for nothing. I tell you...I'll cry out in frustration.

I was looking forward to Bes giving me flowers. Unfortunately, I waited in vain...despite being demanding and all. She didn't want to give me flowers because she said, it would look weird if we were dining together and I had flowers. It would seem like we have a lesbo relationship going on. So what?! I still wanted my flowers. Hmph!

Anyway, dinner was great. I ate grilled tuna. It was kinda similar to Tokyo Tokyo's tuna misono...only the veggies were plenty and the price was way expensive (195 for a single slice of fish). Anyway, I doubt it if I'll order grilled fish steak from ChocKiss again. I should have ordered Hickory spare ribs (despite avoidance of meat). Somehow, I liked the fact that despite the excess from the 400 peso budget, we still stood up and paid nothing at all. I love that feeling...not paying for what I ate. Hehe! :D ...and for that, I'll try to reserve and pay in advance next time. Probably months early so I could forget that I still paid for it. ;p

Bes and I had a good exercise after as we walked all the way to Vinzons because there was no empty cab in sight. We rode the jeepney. I went home just in time to study for my Physics exam the next day. I actually slept late...as in 4am I think. Crammer!

QUICKIE MOVIE

Last Thursday, I tagged along with Cathe and her blockmates and watched Close To You. Ha! Dream come true.

It's a really great movie. We came there late but just in time to catch the ending. So, we saw the ending before the start of the movie. Spoiler!

According to Nova Villa's character (I'll try to capture the essence): It's good to be with someone who is your friend. At the end of all the kilig and romance, you have the friendship to fall back on.

Danci, that explains why I want to fall in love with a friend.

Actually, there were still lots of good lines from the movie. I'd rather you watch the movie. I insist. :)

I had to leave immediately after because "My Quickie Valentine" is scheduled at 4:30pm. It's an event hosted by Mandala wherein you get to bid from among 6 guys. I'm not bidding...am just simply watching and helping out with stuff. Gee! One guy went from a hundred to 2,500 pesos. The girl even paid in dollars. Sheesh! That much for a guy. I was joking my fam that night that I should probably save 2,500 to finally grab a guy for myself. Hehe! ;p

Nah! I wouldn't do that.

ALL ISAW...and shit (far worse than that in isaw...if ever there is left...eww!)

I didn't really love the way my Friday has went. Yup! That was when everything started. I'd rather not talk about bad memories.

I decided to wait for my sis (who decided to stay with her friends at the Sunken Garden before the UP Fair starts). To while away the time, I tagged along some friends (namely Ivy, her sis Tins, and JL) and went to the gym to check on something and ate isaw after. We bought 180 pesos worth isaw so we really waited long for our order. 40 pesos worth were for me. I bought 5 isaw for my sister who apparently lost her appetite and decided to leave me. Shit! I ate 40 pesos worth of isaw that night. That just counts one reason why I hated my sis that night. Me, my bloated tummy, and bad isaw breathe. I'll never eat isaw again.

UP FAIR

I never attended the fair this year. I'm too tired to watch. Good bands come really late naman eh.

The first time I attended the UP Fair was last Feb. 13, two years ago (with Krissy, Yella, Joyce, Cheng, and Ivan). That was the same day we were at ChocKiss, quizzing each other about our lovelife, and me being dubbed as the Boy Abunda of the group. Two years ago, we were seated on the Sunken Garden's poorly maintained grass and listening to trashy rock music (it was really nonsense). We were huddled in a circle when a fight broke out from somewhere in the crowd and people were trying to destroy the weak fencing to enter the area. We got pretty scared as PET bottles were flying and the police force was rushing to the area. We got out just in time using the exit facing the Law Building and made out to safer pastures which are ironically bathed in dark light. We made it to Ivan's car (Krissy's ex) and were driven respectively to our own homes. Actually, we almost didn't make it as the car had some problems (if I'm not mistaken, it had something to do with the wheels). Anyway, we found out the next day that some people got stabbed or something. So much for a first time at the UP Fair.

This year's UP Fair had its share of tragedies and problems as well. One kid was said to have died as he slept underneath some Ford car and was run over by the driver who unknowingly knew the kid existed. Now who's to be blamed?

Yael (of Spongecola) was almost hit by a flying PET bottle. Bad aim guy/gal.

SATURDAY'S FRUSTRATIONS

I spent 12 hours at school doing some prodwork for the Psychweek. Never really liked my day.

SHOPPING

Cathe and I went shopping for clothes since she was going for a PALA convention for two days and I had an interview on Friday.

I had no intention of buying a more than a thousand worth blouse from Kamiseta. It looked really cute kasi (just can't resist). Clothes are really expensive nowadays. I'd rather be naked if only it's okay.

I checked the price tag after. A hundred bucks of the price was for tax. Screw tax then.

Yey! Chowking has Nai Cha in large glasses already. ;p

TRIVIA! TRIVIA! UH-HUH! ;P

I'm loving my social psych because of the trivia tidbits (that still goes with the lesson).

I never really realized that Goth was a subculture in itself until we discussed it in class.

Different races' reactions to attractive women:

Americans - raise eyebrows
Arabs - grasp beard
French - kiss fingers
Italian - press cheeks

At room temperature, male have warmer hands because they have larger blood vessels. However, women (on otherwise room temp) have warmer hands because their vessels can expand more.

Females have warmer forehead because they have bigger brains. Joke! ;p They have warmer foreheads during ovulation.

Females have smellier armpits. Why? Simple reason: because most of their sweat glands are located in the armpits plus their secretions have fatty substances in it. Males' sweat glands are dominantly located at their chest and back.

Females have sensitive noses (again, especially during ovulation). Therefore, males, beware!

Males are more prone to stomachaches.

Females have thicker corpus callosum. Thus, they are able to process information faster than males. Ha! That explains everything. ;)

la-di-dah!

I really want to post something (as I haven't posted anything since Valentine's Day)...but then again, I'm not in the mood to write (emotionally down and drained). I can't even start with my 7th and 8th journal for Psych 171 class (which I had decided to pass this Tuesday instead of Friday because my interview for PGH is on Friday).

Screw it!

When I wasn't feeling so down, I used up the internet load naman.

I'm soooo tired from lots of schoolwork...mostly extracurriculars pa.

Isn't it funny that a Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition is coming up? Amusing...

Another funny fact...Encantadia is back. It's becoming dragging already. Don't they have new shows to produce? I've seen a preview of this never-ending fantasy and guess what? There are lots of scenes with snow in it. Great preview though. I felt like it was a movie and not a TV show. But please!

Most of the people whose blogs I read are going to Australia. I wonder why there of all places.

I'm craving for a Havaianas Filipinas. I'm broke!

Enough...

I'll write more next time. I'm not giving enough justice to what I write.

vday

Happy vday everyone! :)

Hindi ako mapakali kanina. Sabi ko, I have to do something for Valentine's Day...just to prove na this isn't only a day for couples. I wanted a foot spa or go wallclimbing instead...pero wala akong kasama. Poor me! Ayoko na ring mag UP Fair.


Nangungulit na nga ako sa mga tao dito sa bahay. Pati yung gift ni Cathe kay Mart eh inasikaso ko pa. ;p I thought of making dinner for the family na lang. Pero...

bes texted! I was thinking of calling her but Cathe was busy chatting with Mart. Buti na lang, bes won in the UNESCO raffle. Dinner for 2 at chockiss. Therefore, may date ako sa vday! Gaya ng dati bes...singles' day out. Chockiss ule. After two years.

I'm thinking now...How will I study for my Physics exam this Wednesday? Bahala na. :)

Happy Birthday sa maraming tao...kay Kris, Heart, John, Roxanne...hehe! :D Basta! You know who you are.

on death

Cathe's former classmate in HS died because of liver cancer. She was too young. Pero somehow, naawa rin ako sa kanya. Apparently, her parents knew she was sick about 2 years ago, but she never knew about this until recently. She knew she was sick because of the medications she's taking, but she never realized it was worse already.

Therefore, I told Mama awhile ago, I'd appreciate it if they tell me I'm sick. At least I'd have time to prepare and do stuff I want to do. Rare opportunity and mabigyan ng chance to know how long you'll live. Others die instantly and surprisingly like the victims of last week's stampede.

Vday etcetera

I miss seeing my sister around the house. She's off once again to her classmate's house doing a model for their project. Oh well...she's quite crappy whenever she comes home with tons of work to do so it's better if she finishes everything first before going home. I understand her though. I get crappy at times too. However, I'm the bubbliest person around the house lately. My parents find it weird because I'm the moody, irritable person most of the time. I'm just amusing myself.

In my desperate need to go out, I drove around the subdivision awhile ago (with mama) just to buy some bread at the gate. See how desperate I am? Small trips make me happy.

I slept really late yesterday...around 3am already (that makes that today...gets?). That is because we underestimated the time necessary for the My Quickie Valentine preparations. After having my x-ray at St. Luke's yesterday, Ivy and I went to buy stuff for My Quickie Valentine at National Bookstore. Then, we went to school to eat and attended a Psych 180 make-up class. We just watched Das Experiment. That film was really mind boggling. We had to be debriefed after watching it. Then, I, Dean, Casper, Ninx, and Mikael went to Ivy’s house (with Ivy of course) to cook some chocolates for our chocolate sale. It took us around 3 hours to finally melt the chocolate (wasting about a block of chocolate for that). The experience was a first to all of us...funny...but I tell you, I could barely eat chocolate afterwards. It looked sickening already. Papa fetched me at around 11:30 then I spent the rest of the night and early morning packing the chocolates. We sold it today and gathered more than a thousand peso in sales. However, due to the previous mistakes and unforeseen events, the revenue is actually small.

***

I stand corrected. Hindi pala nobody si Corpuz (see previous post on stampede). I still don't like him.

Anyway, I read this blog about the stampede. Good read. Clickie!

***

In a way, I like how Krissy (and some other people) write in their blogs...freely sharing their thoughts and opinions without much problem (like how people will react to it or what). I wish I could do that as well.

***

Since Valentine's Day is peeking 'round that bend *watchacallthatagain?!* and people are wasting energy talking about it (even in my classes) so I thought of putting it as some point of discussion here. I didn't even think I'd be thinking of Valentine's Day plans myself. It's either I go to the UP Fair or watch MYMP's concert *why am I still not giving up on this one?! It's because it's not going to be held in Ultra anymore.*

Righty-o...20 years of my life...and still single. So what?! Who said that Valentine's Day is only for people in love anyway? *I'm not crappy.* Besides, one should spent Valentine's Day everyday naman. It's one branded day for Pete's sake. Loving is inevitably there – anyone in consideration. It's human nature. Partly instinct. So let's talk about some things I look for in a guy naman. *Wow! Shift!* Tinanong na rin naman ito sa Psych 180 class eh (and I was doing this way before pa). I'll just add some things though.


1. He better be passionate for life - be it for music, books, anything. Of course, this holds true as long as he's passionate for the right kind of stuff. Nothing illegal. I don't want some criminal. This condition should be met in the following numbers where it is applicable.
2. He is someone who's game for anything. Adventurous in some kind of way. A great companion for road trips and travel. Someone who can introduce me to rappelling, scuba diving, and sky diving – things I still haven't done but I wanted to do.
3. He has to have humor. Humor has to have substance. With humor, there should be great conversations. I love a good talk. A conversation wherein we both talk. It's a two-way process you know. He better know the right time when to listen and open his mouth. Otherwise, I'd buy my own statue to talk to or I'll staple his mouth shut. *Harsh!*
4. He is flexible and knowledgeable. Never did I specifically say intelligent, but I want a smart guy. He is a jack-of-all-trades. He is not only the perfect (ideally) guy but a great friend as well.
5. He better has some ambition and drive in life which is seen in his actions and not words alone. He knows how to dream and make his dreams real. Dreams need not be material. If he dreams to be rich, to own a fleet of cars, and live in a big mansion, I don't really care. His primary goal is directed to the development of the self. The rest is secondary.
6. He sticks and lives up to his principles. I'll try to respect him for that even if it is contradictory to mine. I love a good argument. Then, let's see if we click after.
7. He is humble in his achievements. He works hard to improve himself in consideration of others. He seeks greatness not in oppression but in being a better person.
8. Fashion-wise, he better look great. He is not necessarily trendy all the time, but never baduy. Krissy and I used to hang along the AS hallway criticizing guys and their jeans (since few knew how to wear their pants right). And oh...for me, he has to be comfortable wearing pink. ;p
9. Physically, he has to have a good-looking body. For me, it is a sign that he is healthy and disciplined. Otherwise, it could be because of genetics...then blessed he! He should be relatively taller than me, great looking teeth, and nice nose.*Physical attributes are secondary. Honestly, I go after personality. Better investment there.*
10. I value time, and so should he. I have low tolerance for tardiness.
11. He better respect anybody's religion, and he better have one himself.
12. He is confident with his own skin. No quirks in anything. Someone who can comfortably laugh at himself.
13. He is thoughtful. I read this novel once in which the guy even takes note when his gf gets her periods (for the PMS issues). Cute lang. I want someone who could even go out of his way just for me. *I'm not entirely possessive ha.*
14. He is a mature and responsible person. He values his family. He is sensitive of other people's feelings. He has to be understanding of my mood swings as well.
15. He has to be "galante" – material and nonmaterial things in consideration. *I'm trying to be honest here.*

But then again, with love, you tend to end up loving the person and accepting him inspite of imperfections. Some of my friends ended up being with people they never really thought of loving in the first place. As long as the guy is true to himself, then I guess all's well.


Courtship? Never mind. I have this weird fantasy of loving someone who started out being my friend. Parang story ng "Close to You". Haha! So now you know why I have some weird like for that movie. I keep referring that as Cathe and Mart's story pero I'm just imagining things siguro.

***

JL and Dean are planning to wear black on Valentine's Day. I refuse to do that. Why be bitter diba? It's just another normal day for me. :)

on being logical

Whee! :D I'm eligible for an interview in UP College of Medicine (more popularly known, yet somehow incorrect, as UP PGH). *Kainis lang! Interview date's scheduled on a school date and I hate missing class. Heck! Eh future mo nga naman daw toh.*

Now I'm totally happy. :D :D :D

Kaya lang, it doesn't sound too good when you hear other people not making it. Kahit sa isang school man lang. Life's not that fair...yeah...but hey! Let's not rub that in. I had my share of rejections from school before as well. I failed to enter Phil. Science HS on the 2nd exam, but I didn't regret that. In fact, it was a blessing because I can't imagine my life studying in that school. I don't think I'm too optimistic din naman. I definitely didn't succumb to any denial stage either.

Way back in highschool naman, when we were applying for college, it wasn't too difficult dealing with classmates not being accepted in some of the schools they like. I guess it helped that most of my friends passed UP so all's well. Kahit nga waitlisted lang ako non, I still felt at ease with it. Basta I'm happy because I'm surrounded with other people who were happy as well. That helps. Luckily, I was able to enter UP Diliman naman. :)

Now that most of the people I know of are applying for med schools naman, the situation has changed. Mas matindi yung lungkot lalo na if hindi nakapasa yung friend mo sa kahit isang school man lang where he/she applied. I'd like to tell them that it's not really the end for the them, but I don't think I'm convincing enough. I don't really know what I should do for them. Haay... Hindi nga naman madaling magdesisyon mag-aral pa for 4 years or more tapos bigla kang hindi tatanggapin sa gusto mong school. Buti nga hindi kami nag-nursing eh. (Sorry for those offended.) I accompanied a friend to PGH kanina and I felt bad not really seeing her in the list. Then, just before going home, I called a friend to tell her I didn't see her at the list in St. Luke's. I felt really bad. I just don't know how to deal with this stuff.


Kanina nga, nag-iisip ako. I was weighing St. Luke's and UP. UP was best for me because it was one of the best med schools and the tuition's really low. Pero sa St. Luke's, there's this great chance I'd get full scholarship. Mas gusto ko rin yung atmosphere kasi clean. Mas malapit din sa bahay. I really don't want to live in a dormitory or a boarding house. Kung condo siguro eh ok lang. ;p

***

I felt really bad kanina. The 7-minute break from my 3-hour class ended and I was not yet done eating my asparagus pasta. I tried to eat forkfuls of it before throwing it in the trash bin pero hindi ko pa rin naubos. Shucks! I hate wasting food. I should’ve brought it in the room (despite the rule not to) and just stuck it under my chair or eat it during class. After all, I won't be the only one breaking the rules. *Bad logic here. My prof seems to tolerate eating in class kasi. It wasn't allowed since we have classes in the AVR.*

***

I don't like it when people turn on the electric fan on an early morning. I just come to class early. Since no one's usually in yet, I try to take a quick nap before classes start. Then, I just wake up to the sound of the fan whirring and me feeling really cold. I wonder if they jog or run before going to class because I don't really feel hot at all. Or maybe, it was because I was driven to school on Tuesdays and Fridays. Thus, I don't feel tired or hot/warm. Whatev!


***

I watched the news kanina. Nakakainis yung sinabi kanina. Sinisisi yung Wowowee (or ABS-CBN) for that matter kasi they were enticing people to go to the show for a "mere" 20 thousand ata. Basta...parang ganon yung dating nung sinabi nung guy (whoever he is...he's a no one). Sa loob loob ko, hindi mere yung binibigay ng show. Siguro, sa kanila, "mere" lang yon kasi may pera sila pero let's face reality nga. Kahit 1 thou eh mahirap na ngang hagilapin sa ngayon. Eh kung sila nga mamigay ng pera?


Nangyari na ang nangyari. Kung ako ang tatanungin, maraming pwedeng sisihin sa naganap na stampede. Yung guards siguro dahil kulang sa gawa. Yung tao...kulang sa disiplina. Yung sitwasyon...dahil laganap talaga ang kahirapan. Maraming pwedeng sisihin. Let's just help each other out.

Sabi nga sa Psych 180 ko, there is really no regrets because we make our own decisions.

Lecheng Joey de Leon...muntikan na naman sa MTRCB. Buti na lang abswelto ka. Otherwise, I'll do more cursing in this blog...all for you.

*no title*

Haay...kakatapos ko na naman manood ng FL. Feel ko lang obserbahan kung gaano karaming cuts meron sa Tagalised version. Marami ano. Musta naman ang isang episode per day? If I'm not mistaken, 3 episodes to go and finished na siya. Feeling ko tuloy, in one week, tapos na yung nasa TV.

The cuts aren't ok. Nawawala yung essence ng palabas. Ginawan pa ng kanta yung story between Rang and Nikki. Why pa? Eh in the first place, ang daming na-cut na story between them so hindi makita yung development ng kwento nila.

Natatawa ako kay Mama. She keeps calling Johnny "gwapo". Hehe! :) I so agree. Oh well...everything about his character is likeable. In real life? Er...I'm not yet done with my research. *O siya, siya! Kahihiyan ko naman noh.*

Ang weird ng araw ko. Wala na namang first class. Pero napagod ako sa kakaikot around PHAn, AS, and FC. Don't ask why. Long story of chases and sister duties. ;p

May quiz na naman sa Psych 180 kanina. Hindi na naman ako nag-aral. Musta naman?! Late pa akong nakaakyat dahil sa kaka-mingle sa lobby. Ngarag ever! Ang hilig ni Ma'am mag-ask ng "define this" and "define that". Hirap ha. Nanghuhuli talaga.

Pero enjoy yung game kanina sa class. Naging amoeba, fish, frog, monkey, at human ule ako. Long story ule. Haha! :D

Kinabahan din ako buong araw. UP PGH results are out daw. I haven't got any clue whether I'm qualified for an interview. Scaredness. I'm going there tomorrow siguro before my med and dental at St. Luke's. Wish me luck.

Tapos ko na pala yung Cosmo mag. Hay naku! Am going to share something pero next time na lang. I'm still not in the mood. Pero natanong yung perennial question kanina sa Psych 180. Hulaan niyo...


Beh! =p

so what?!

Funny.

My parents and sister went to the mall kanina. I was left behind because I didn't feel like it.

Guess what my sis brought home for me?

Cosmo's latest ish.

Why?

Because of this certain article:


NO B.F. PA RIN? [Grab this issue!]

Sheesh!

That's the reason why I love my sister so much (for comfort). *rolls eyes*
