Jumbled Life

Kung mamalasin ka nga naman...

akala mo okay na ang lahat. Na kaunti na lang ang aalalahanin mo. Ilang araw niyo ring pinagpaguran mag-shoot para sa isang dokyu na hindi rin naman pala maipapasa on time. Ang malupit pa nito, ilang araw na ang nakakaraan matapos ang deadline ay hindi pa rin naipapasa. So wala kayong choice kung hindi gumawa ng panibago. Bago pati ang topic. In just 1 week. Kainis. Kapagod. Kaloka!

Medyo depressed ako nitong mga nakaraang araw. Acads, acads at acads. Kelangan talaga pagisipang mabuti ang mga gagawin. Dahil kakaiba rin ang balik nito sa iyo. Nakakalungkot. Wala ito sa mga plano ko. Sana makamit ko pa rin ang CS.

Mabuti at may musika. Nalilibang ako. Nakakalimutan ang mga masalimuot na nangyari ngayong semestre. Salamat Rain at Jason Mraz.

May nadiskubre rin ako tungkol sa aking sarili. Masaya talaga ako kapag gumagawa ng dokyu o kahit na anong related sa film. Gusto ko na mag-film. Pero hindi ako magshi-shift. Sayang naman. Marami ring opportunities sa CommRes. Magsesecond degree na lang ako. Kapag may pera na. Magastos kasi ang FAVC.

"You And I Both"

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

--------------------------------

On a brighter side, nakapag-bonding na rin kami ng block K3. At special ang lahat dahil birthday ng pinakamamahal naming si Kay. Sa Albergus ang venue. At adventure din ang pagpunta namin doon ni Raine. Sarap ng food. Masaya. Nonstop kodakan. Round 2 sa desserts. Sayawan. Breakdance. Showdown. Kilig factor. Emote. Kabaliwan. Sana maulit!

CommResSoc's 30th Anniversary

Yes, proud naman ang newbie at kasali sa 30th year ng CRS. Fun fun ang anniv week, although hindi lahat ng events eh napuntahan ko.

this is a picture sa exhibit namin sa CommRes sala, syempre kaming tatlo pa rin ang magkakasama. Dahil 30 years na eh pearls ang emote ng lahat. pero si Raine ponkan. hahaha...

Eto naman ang pics nung Alumni Gathering sa Balay Kalinaw. Naku si Rej hindi nagpunta. na-miss niya tuloy ang saya. hehe...

Huli ka! Kumusta naman at saktong susubo pa ako ng food. Sabi ko na nga ba dapat hindi ako tumingin nung hawak ni Kuya Stan ung camera. Ayan tuloy...

Mukha na naman akong tanga dito! Si Ate Chrissie ata kumuha nito.

Dahil kami ay mga loser at hindi man lamang nakasali sa ni isang game, eepal na lang kami sa kodakan. Nagkalat na rin ang wrappers ng apa-flavored polvoron sa table.

Newbies! Ako, Raine, Owen at Dianne. Malapit talaga dapat ang upuan sa pagkain?! hahaha...

Picture Picture! Sadly wala kami diyan ni Raine. Gabi na kasi at kelangan na naming dalawang umuwi. Kumusta naman ang dilim sa UP noon?! Anyway, nakapag-uwi naman kami ng lobo (iyong pink na hawak ng isang alumna). Haha... Wagi!

Bitter Sweet Birthday

i miss blogging, so heto ako't nagbabalik.

valentines day kahapon. at kagaya nga ng wish ko sa tagboard ko, sana eh makagawa man lang ako ng post sa birthday ko. sadly hindi ko nagawa, kasi kahapon iyon, 15 na ngayon.

ordinaryo lang ang araw ko kahapon. kung iniisip niyo na magbibitter lang ako sa entry na ito, 100% na tama kayo!

hindi ako gaanong natuwa. hindi naman sa gusto ko ng kakaibang birthday. ang sa akin lang... wait, on second thought naging kakaiba naman ang birthday ko, kasi wala ngang nangyari. bago iyon ha!

sabi ko nga, iyon na ang pinakasad ko na birthday. kasi parang ordinary day lang. hindi ko man lang nafeel na special ito, lalo na kung magmumula sa mga taong alam niyo na... and to think Vday iyon ha. ang saklap talaga.

ano bang nangyari kahapon, well isa-isahin natin...

pumasok ako ng maaga para sa philo class ko na as usual ay walang klase. pumunta ako sa maskom lib at nagbasa ng childhood's end na dahil sa kulang ako sa tulog ay hindi ko na nasusundan ang istorya, ang hirap magisip. umattend ako ng symposium ni Miller. at least sumaya naman ako. tumunganga ulit at nagbasa ng childhood's end. gutom na ako. naghintay ako sa lib ng matagal at nang tamarin na ay umuwi. trineat ang sarili ng mcrice burger. dapat magpapancake house ako, kaso mas sad naman na kumain ng nagiisa sa isang restaurant sa araw ng mga puso. so 3:30 pa lang nasa bahay na ako.

kahit mama ko nagulat sa aga ng uwi ko.

pagdating sa bahay, naging ka-date ko na ang school work. winish ko na sana kahit sa birthday ko magpapahinga ako, away from school work ba. pero hindi natupad. wala na kasi akong magawa, so no choice na.

syempre naman may handa kami sa bahay, pero normal na talaga un eh. siguro masyado lang akong umasa.

bago magwakas ang bitter sweet na entry na ito, nais ko lang pasalamatan ang mga sumusunod:
*sa lahat ng bumati, mga friends, hs classmates, college classmates, blockmates, batchmates, former schoolmates, financier abroad, kasama sa bahay at syempre...

si kofi!

THE BITCH IS HIBERNATING...

...COME BACK AGAIN LATER!

2006-11-26T09:20:00.000+08:00

UPDATES! UPDATES!

Well I've been very busy these past few days, to think the sem just started ha. Anyway, I got out of ReneVill's class. Nung first day na na-meet namin siya, he pointed out na "kung ayaw niyong mabwisit ngayong sem ay huwag na kayong magpakita next meeting." I guess nabasa niya ang nasa isipan ko, so well byebye Malikhaing Pagsulat 10. Hello PanPil 17. Actually dapat may MPs10 pa rin ako, pero kay Andrada na. Kaso para wala ng away nag-PanPil 17 na lang ako kay U. Pero love ko pa rin si Sir Andrada kasi ang gay gay niya!

As I have mentioned sa last post ko, may Philo 10 ako ngayon. At sabi nga nila seldom lang siya pumasok. Well dalawang Wednesdays na niya kaming ini-indian. Sana man lang ni hibla ng buhok niya masilayan ko na. Honestly, ala akong idea kung anu hitsura niya. Kung pangit ba siya o maganda, kung mataba o payat at kung kalait-lait ba. Ewan ko!

Pero sabi ni Jeff, kasi naging prof na niya un, nakita naman na niya ang dearest prof ko na pakalat-kalat sa campus. Wish ko lang nga mapadpad naman siya sa klase niya minsan.

I will not talk about my major subjects here. Well hindi naman sa boring ang mga pangyayari, its just that hindi ko feel. Although masaya naman ako sa CRes 110 dahil kung anu anu kalokohan pinaggagagawa namin at halos every meeting ay parang may pot session lang kami, hindi ko pa rin feel magkwento. Kapag nabad trip na lang ako saka ako magkwekwento.

Well anu pa ba? Ah, at last I am joining an Org. For real na ito. Last time kasi naudlot eh. Anyway, CommResSoc ang target namin ng aking mga friends. Exclusive sa magagandang CommRes students na sa hindi malamang bagay ay nakaka-survive pa sa bagsik ng mga prof sa Dept.

Last Friday naganap ang orientation ang buddy bidding. No comment na lang sa buddy bidding. I think lahat ng kasama ko na nandun pare-parehas kami ng nararamdaman. Pero kahit ganoon, excited pa rin ako sa whole App Process. Shortest application process daw ito ayon sa mga members sa buong history ng CRS. Kasi 30 years na sila sa Feb. So like naman nila na kapag nag-30 sila, mems na rin kami. Di ba, saya! :D

Sige ayun lang muna, marami pa akong kelangan basahin. Kabundok na nga eh. Bakit ba kasi nagkasakit pa ako. huhuhu...

VAU: Three Letters One OUGHT Not to Forget!

CRes 101 grades are out. And thank God I passed the subject. Turns out our paper did well and pulled all my low scores in the exams. I got a 2.00!

Well I'm really happy getting that grade since I think, it's high enough considering all the things we have heard from upperclassmen about VAU. So I retain my CS standing. Whee... I am really happy.

But on the other hand, I can't be too happy.

Well something happened to my other classmates, especially my friends. Because of technicalities they got into some sort of a problem. And I'm really sad that because of what happened, some of my blockmates might be bidding CRes goodbye. Ohh... things will never be the same again.

But because of what happened, I think it made all of us more determined to finish the program. Now we know that no one is safe. ANYTHING can happen to ANYBODY. Now we should REALLY expect for the unexpected.

We can do this guys! (gals!)

P.S. To my shifting out classmates, I hope you reconsider. But whatever your decisions may be, I wish you all the best and may you find you true heart's desire. Iyong "kanya-kanyang hilig" VAU has been talking about the whole first sem. :)

2006-11-10T21:21:00.000+08:00

The Search for this Sem's Next Freaking Subjects...
Will I survive?

The second sem has already started, but I tell you, lots of things happened before we got officially enrolled.

I went to Maskom a bit late on the first day of registration. Little did I know that I should have gone earlier because our whole CRes 101 class has to fall in-line with the other students o see the College Sec. Well we didn't do anything wrong. Its just that our 101 grades were not yet available since VAU went on a trip to Singapore during the break and forgot all about her students. Thanks Ma'am! What's worse, we cannot enroll yet since we still aren't sure if we passed the damn subject or not. Of course you can't proceed to higher CRes if you ailed the previous one.

And what is even worse is that I am six units short. So still have to do manual enlistment. And thank God for the TriColl thing which makes all the lives of other students harder to bear.

So second day it is for me.

I tried the Geol class first thing in the morning the following day, Nov. 8th. When KC, Raine and I went their the previous day they said that 45 slots were "up for grabs" the next day so I was really hopeful. But expect the unexpected. Daig pa ata ang pila sa Wowowee sa haba ng pila sa NIGS. So I gave it up and just went back to AS to try English classes. I so wanted to have an Eng 30 class, sadly I failed again. I ended up taking MPs10 (Malikhaing Pagsulat 10). I thought it was okay but thanks to Google, I now know what to expect. Turns out my prof is a Palanca awardee, Hall of Famer I guess, and based on feedbacks from Ron (a Filipino major), my prof who I will call ReneVill from now on is really strict and moody. I also found out that he was the scriptwriter of Batibot. So will I drop the subject or not? Need help guys.

I will also be taking Philo 10 this sem. Well I swore never to take a Philo class. But scarcity lead me to it. I just happen to pass by the Philo room and found out that there were a couple of slots left. Since I was so tired of the whole manual process, I decided to enroll in one of the remaining open classes. For the first tiem , I have a Wednesday class. And to my surprise, I found out that my prof-to-be seldom comes to class. And is generous in giving grades, which I badly need now with ReneVill at hand.

I got AeroKickboxing for PE. But I got disappointed when I found out that they offer Belly Dancing. Aww... But it won't fir into my schedule anyway since Belly Dancing classes are held every TF. Which are my Major Subjects days.

I have three majors this sem: CRes 110 (Quali), CRes 115 (Quanti) and CRes 125 (Computer thing). Luckily I got a MST class. The "uno-able daw" na MBB1 class. :)

Hopefully I can manage this kind of schedule just like the previous sem which was my favorite sem in my entire UP life.

Usher is that you?!

there's this new thing going on in the net lately. it's a friendster-myspace-multiply site combined. It's called TAGGED.

So whats new? practically nothing. well i haven't explored the thing yet since its too predictable. but i guess there are some freebies/perks at stake if you try some of their offers. More like the pop-up thing on your screen when you check your mail or go to porn sites. Ooopss... did i mention porn sites? :]

As of now, the population of Tagged is incomparable to friendster. But I think after a couple of months or so, freaky people will be invading it and will be posting their horendous photos there. Boo. Spare me!!!

And God I just can't wait for all the laughs. Well I saw this page of someone from I do not know where. Aside from the friendster-like features of Tagged, I think it's unique feature is the Confessions part. And so, when I saw the page of this person he confessed, "I am a gay!" What could be funnier?! hahaha...

Well I'm sorry darling if you didn't get the joke there. So for all you dummies out there clueless at this point, his confession should have been, "I am gay!"

My, I didn't wish for this blog to be instructional you know!

Tata for now!

KATATAWANAN SA CLASSROOM
PART II

Ms. D, the Pennsylvanian:
Isang pag-alala sa masayang semestre

Malakas ang usap-usapang tila hindi na yata magtuturo si Ms. D sa susunod na semestre. Hindi kasi makita ang pangalan niya sa mga propesor na magtuturo ng CommRes subjects sa CRS. Totoo kaya ito? Babalik na ba siya sa kanyang Alma Mater? Kung hindi, saan siya pupunta? Aalis nga ba siya?

Ang katatapos lamang na semestre ang unang beses ng pagtuturo ni Ms. D sa unibersidad. Matapos niyang makamit ang PhD sa Amerika ay bumalik siya sa Pilipinas. Pero hindi siya sa UP unang nagturo, kundi sa kanyang beloved Alma Mater na nasa Katipunan lang. (Ang dagdag na kaalaman ay mula kay G. Alberto).

Maituturing si Ms. D na isa sa pinakamagagandang guro sa kolehiyo, marahil pinakamaganda pa nga sa departamento namin. Sabi niya, gusto niya ng collared shirts kasi nagmumukha siyang kagalang-galang. Dagdag pa niya, parang damang-dama niya na siya ang nagtuturo kapag ganoon ang suot niya. Minsan nga naaalala ko pa ang mala-Britney Spear niyang itsura. Naka-pink siya na collared shirt at naka khaki na pants. Tapos naka-sneakers siya. Na ang sabi ko kay Raine ay masyadong malaki kung pagmamasdan. But nevertheless, maganda pa rin siya. Nagsusuot din siya ng mga nakamamatay na sapatos. Iyon bang sa sobrang pagka-pointed eh ikamamatay mo masagi ka lamang nito.

Maayos naman ang naging takbo ng kanyang klase. May mga pagkakataon nga lamang na inaantok ako kasi tatlong oras kaming nakikinig sa iba't ibang teorya ng komunikasyon. At kumusta naman iyon?! Nagkaroon ng pagpapangkat at nagulat ang bawat pangkat ng isang teorya. Dito na nabuo ang mga masasayang quotable quotes ng aking mga kaklase, at maging ni Ms. D. (kung inyong maaalala, nagbanggit na ako ng ilan sa KATATAWANAN SA KLASE PART I. hindi ko na iyon babanggitin muli!)

Umpisahan na natin ang pagbabalik tanaw...

Hindi natin namamalayan pero nagbabago pala ang itsura ng ating bansa. Marahil ako ay nagtataka dahil hindi naman ito nababalita sa mga pahayagan o maging sa TV man lang. Pero ayon sa iginuhit ni Ms. D sa pisara, iba na nga talaga ang itsura ng Pilipinas.

Hindi man lamang natin napansin, naglakbay na pala papuntang Mindanao ang pulo ng Palawan.

Ang ikalawa...

Madalas akong sumakay ng LRT/MRT, pero wala pa naman akong nakikitang nakasabit sa mga tren. Pero mukhang si Ms. D ay meron na. Sa isang paguulat kasi pinatayo niya ang aming mga kaklase at pinaarte na kunwari at "nakasabit" sila sa MRT. Marahil ganito ang itsura noon...

Gaya nga ng nakalagay sa picture, huwag gayahin at baka ma-sakuna ka!

Eto pa...

Maging maingat sa mga pothole sa labas ng inyong mga tahanan. Kapag napabayaan, maaari itong lumaki. At sa sobrang laki ay kaya na nitong lunurin ang mga truck na daraan tuwing baha. Tulad nito...

Tunay na napakagaling ni Ms. D at naisip niyang paalalahanan tayo tungkol dito.

At ang huli...

Huwag maliitin ang mga chakang barangay hall. Marahil ay ginawa na itong sariling tirahan ng mga barangay captain ngunit ayon kay Ms. D, mabisa pa rin itong lapitan kapag may problema ka.

Ayos di ba?!

Tunay nga na mataas ang litera[l]cy rate ng mga Pinoy. Ang mga nabanggit ay ilan lamang sa mga hindi malilimutang pahayag ng mahal naming si Ms. D.

Narito naman ang ilan sa mga na-okray moments namin ng aking mga blockmates:

(1) Necklace sa dibdib ng kaaway

...Diyos ko, maawa ka sa necklace ni MB. Hindi na sila makahinga. Nagpupumilit na silang makaalis sa nakamamatay na pagpiga ng kanyang biniyayang dibdib.

Sino siya?! Balak niyo bang mag-swimming? I-try ang 8 waves or 9 waves park.

(2) Second reading, a reading according to the book of Griffin

...Daig pa namin ang nasa misa. Biyernes pa lamang ngunit atat na ang aming kaklase na basahin ang gospel. Ang tanong, nag-ulat ba siya o nagbasa? Sagot: nagbasa!

Sino siya?! Ayon kay G. Alberto, mahilig siya sa turon. Dagdag pa niya, nasa average ng 2 turon ang nakakain nito sa tuwing nakikita niya ito. Guess na!

(3) It

...Neither a man nor a woman. Kaya IT. Maloloka ka sa mga tanong at sagot na hindi rin namin alam kung saan nanggaling. Isang babala: huwag matakot kung mahuli mo siyang nagsasalitang mag-isa. Hindi siya baliw. Naghahanda lamang siya sa susunod niyang sasabihin sa klase.

Sino siya?! Kakakasal lamang niya. Anak ni Da boy at Vanessa.

How I went gaga over Christian Bautista

Wow, rhyme iyon ha! Anyway, am just so excited to make this entry, dapat kagabi pa eh, kung hindi lang sobrang sumakit ang ulo ko.

So Ange, Jack, Ellen (Ange's friend) and I went to SM Megamall yesterday to see Christian Bautista. Kaming tatlong babae ay talagang mga panatiko. Grabe, ngaun lang ako nagkaganito.

Muntik pa nga akong hindi makapasok sa enclosed area for those na may chance makapagpa-autograph. You have to buy his album para makalapit. Eh bakit ako bibili eh I already have my own copy. So ayaw ng mga lolo mong guard. Buti to the rescue naman si Ange and her friend sa amin ni Jack kaya nakapasok kami.

Nagstart na ang program around 6pm. Kamukha pa ni Sheree ng VHB iyong host. hehehe...

Then enter papa Christian. Wahhhh....

Grabe sobrang nakakaloka. May nakatabi nga ako CF daw siya. As in may picture na sila ni Christian sa phone niya. It was also the sixth time na nakita niya si Christian. hehehe... pasensya sobrang happiness overload talaga.

He sang seven songs then autograph signing ang photo op na.

So here are the pics. Hehe... wala kasi kaming scanner kaya pinicturan ko na lang.

Huwaw! grabe so cloud nine pa rin until now. Meron din pirma iyong copy ko nung first album niya. Wahahaha... But instead of Lucia Luchie naman.

Siyempre hindi mawawala ang pic naming dalawa. Hay... he is so handsome. Grabe ang tangkad at laki ng kamay. (connect?!) hehehe... At hindi rin mawawala ang walang kamatayang peace sign. Meron isang pic nag-peace sign din siya, kaso hindi nakuha sa frame.

Nga pala, we got to kiss him too!

Wahhhh......

*more pics to come. just visit my multiply some time soon. nasa phone ni jack other pics*

2006-10-26T18:03:00.000+08:00

Mouse or Dog?

yes, I know Kofi really looks like a mouse with those big ears and elongated face.

but he is a dog.

We got him last August 10. And he is just so matakaw. shet lahat ng kumakain hindi niya tinatantanan. At hyperactive to the max. May ADHD ata ito eh.

He played the villain's role in my debut film "Teddy." It also stars teddy, his teddy bear. Sorry, masyadong mahal ang talent fee ni teddy kaya bawal ang pictures. Strict din ang manager niya. He's currently in the hospital recuperating from Kofi's bites.

Let us pray for him.

2006-10-25T12:07:00.000+08:00

Back from the ashes...

at last the sem is over. now i can go back to my usual lifestyle. read: blogging, watching TV, movie and korean drama marathons, eating, and sleeping.

okay so my last post was last September 15. Yeah, that was more than a month ago. Actually I have thought of plenty of things to blog. But then my busy schedule hinders me from doing so. Did you know that most of my friends' sembreaks started weeks ago. But sembreak for me just started last Tuesday. We had a mini-thesis in CRes 101. Well my groupmates and I are really proud of our work. And yeah, the appendices part is even thicker than the whole paper itself. We conducted FGDs so the transcripts really were pages long (minimum: 15 pages/FGD).

Anyway, yes my blog has a new look. Kinda gor bored with the last one. It was too dark. Although when I used that I promised never to change it again. Am getting tired looking for the perfect skin on the net. And I'm on dial-up so just think how long would openning a file would take. hehehe...

So there, green. My favorite color.

So what will be the topics of my following posts?

Since it would not be exciting anymore to tell you guys the things which happened for the past month or so, I'll just be posting some pictures and give you a hint/gist of the story. Well for sure I'm gonna talk about my teachers and classmates and activities and stuff. Maybe even
misfortunes in life. Of course there's also the L-O-V-E thing and my dog. yeah, I PLAN to blog all of this during my break.

So tata for now.

*I know this post is senseless. Just wanna give you an idea that I am still alive and this blog will soon be alive too, with posts. :)

2006-09-15T21:24:00.000+08:00

After thousands of years ng hibernation, I am so so back!!! Yes, at dahil sobrang tagal na since I last posted an entry, expect na mahaba ang mga susunod na kabanata.

Hindi nangangahulugan na kaya ako'y may post muli ay dahil sa ako ay hindi busy. No, no, no. In fact I am so busy gusto ko ng wakasan ang aking buhay. Pero naisip ko ba papaano na lamang ang mga taong walang sawang sumusubaybay sa blog ko kung magpapakamatay ako. So fans, para sa inyo ito! (Pacquiao's song as background music... para sa iyo, ang laban na ito...)

Sa tingin ko rin kailangang humingi ng sorry sa akin ang pamunuan ng MYX. DAhil sa over-exposed na footage ko sa kanila, mas nahirapan pa akong balansehin ang schedule ko. Biro mo ba naman, nananahimik ako sa isang sulok at biglang, "Uy nakita kita sa MYX! Pa-autoraph naman oh?!" Okay so alisin niyo na iyong last doon. Over na ito ha! Chika!!!

Okay so serious mode na. So eto na at may post na nga ulit ako. Naisip ko kasi na kung hindi ngayon, kelan? Kung hindi ako, sino? Naks naman, iyan talaga ang nagagawa ni Sister Stella L sa buhay ko! Anyway, ayun nga. Baka kasi kung tumagal pa iyong mga nakasulat sa scratch "a.k.a. recyclable para sa mga Singaporeans" notebook ko eh makapag-publish na ako ng libro. O siya. ready na? Go!

Issues... Issues... Issues...

Alam ko marami talaga akong issues sa buhay. Pero not to the point naman na si Maury Povich, Jerry Springer at Dr. Phil na ang itinuturing kong mga idolo. Nariyan pa rin naman si Boy Abunda na sa tuwing makikita ko sinasabihan ako ng, "Tara, usap tayo!"

Ang mga issue lang naman na bumagabag at bumabagabag (sige try niyo nakakapagpabagabag ng 10x) sa akin ay acads ko. WEll by this time tapos na ang mga exams at reports sa ibang subjects. Although coming na ang Finals, nakahinga na rin ako ng maluwag at papers naman ang pagtutuunan ko ng pansin.

So umpisahan na ang sama ng loob. Kung sama ng loob nga ba itong matatawag!

Sa totoo lang hindi ko alam kung masasabi kong kamapnte na ako sa mga grades ko this sem. Sa J101 na lang. Midterms namin, Diyos ko, alang in-between grades si Sir. May additional points na nga ako, hindi pa rin sapat para maitaas ang equivalent grade ko. Biro mo, one point na lang eh! Its either 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, and so on (just follow the pattern) lang ang magiging grade mo. Grrr...

Sa Comm140 naman. May midterm paper kami na medyo minadali ko naman talaga. Mas pinagtuunan ko kasi iyong paper kay Lola Rennt kasi mas feel ko iyon eh. So there, as expected
hindi inviting ang grade. AS in inviting na pangitiin ka ha! Pero I'm not blaming anybody except myself maybe?! hahaha... Happy na rin ako at tapos na ang report namin nila Raine at Rej sa C140. Kumusta naman ang reference book na dinayo ko pa sa CBA?! Buti na lang "inviting" ang librarian. :)

Okay, enter naman ang ever hirap na majors na CRes 101. May apat na FGD pa kami. At wala pa kaming idea on how to organize such an event. Anyone interested to be our respondents? go, inquire lang sa tagboard okay!!!

Mostly, iyan lang naman ang issues ko. Sa PE naman kasi ibang mundo iyon eh. Medyo hindi rin naman lahat tayo ay makaka-relate kay JAO Mapa at reCUERDO de amor. (shet... may background music ulit... recuerdo de amor... alaala ng pag-ibig...)

Eh sa Physics although mahirap iyong second exam keber na lang. Chaka kasi ng sched nun eh. Nagkasabay sabay ang activities ko sa life na sa other posts na lang ieelaborate.

Pero siguro isang subject na happiness talaga ako ay Film 10. Tapos na kami sa reporting and all. Pero dahil sa likas kaming mapagmaganda siyempre may kaunting arte rin for our presentation sa report. Ayan sample lang iyan. Kung ikaw ay bitin, go na lamang sa multiply ko for the other pictures nung photo shoot namin sa Lagoon. (And yes, kahit tirik and araw, may nagmomoment pa ring couples dun!)

At break na namin sa Film. Babalik na lang kami two weeks from now para i-present ang aming mini movie. Naks. Don't be too amazed. Mga 3-5 minutes lang iyan. Pero sobrang excited na ako lalo na sa page-edit ng film. sa wakas natutunan ko na rin kung paano gamitin ang windows movie maker. Hay... saya!

Ayan, narinig niyo na ang kababawan ng pag-iisip ko sa ngayon. Pero I bet mas mababaw pa naman dito ang iniisip mo eh?! hindi ba?!

The Haggard Fieldwork

As a requirement for our CommRes 101 class, we had to interview ten randomly selected respondents from a certain area on how comfortable they communicate. Well umpisa pa lang ito ng aming careers as researchers. Anyway, swerte at na-assign ako sa amin, Sta. Mesa. At partner ko si Raine dahil Sta. Mesa din siya. Wheee!!!

So last Saturday ay nag-conduct na kami ng interviews sa Bacood with our funny yet genius team leader Joseph, a senior CRes student. Well the whole experience was really tiring. Of course, not all households were willing to be interviewed so we had plenty of "outright refusals" written on our logs. Malas ko nga lang kasi iyong row of houses na ako ang in-charge puro ayaw magpa-interview. Patapos na si Raine ako kalahati pa lang niya. Kung makakakuha man ako ng respondent, aabutin naman ng mahigit sa 30 minutes and interview kasi sobrang ma-kwento. At siyempre tapos na nga si Raine hindi pa rin ako. Buti genius si leader.

At speaking of our lokaret na leader, may anomalya na naganap habang kami ay nagmimerienda. Bumili kasi kami ni Raine ng chipipay na ice drop. Cheese iyong flavor. Nainggit si lolo at bumili rin. Sadly, monggo iyong nadampot niya. Too late na nung malaman niya kasi naitapon na niya iyong wrapper. Pero hindi pa naman niya nakakain. Eh hawak ko pa iyong wrapper nung akin, so ginawa niya, kinuha niya iyon at ginamit na wrapper nung monggo flavor na ice drop niya. Yak! So nagtagumpay naman siya sa pagpapalit. Then maya-maya, may mga bata na bumili ng ice drop. Monggo ang flavor. Wish na lang namin hindi sila ang mga malas na nilalang na nakakuha noong isinauli ni Joseph.

Mga Monochromatic na Tao at Live Show
Look Ma, no hands!

Bakit may mga prof na malakas mag-trip?

Pwede namang gumawa ng exam na 1 point each at covered lahat ng diniscuss sa classroom hindi ba? Bakit hindi man lamang mag-effort at talagang dapat ay 3 points each ang isang item na semi-objective pa?

Bakit kailangang pili at mga siguradong hindi pinagtuunan ng pansin ng mga estudyante ang pagkukuhanan ng mga tanong?

Bakit kailangang gumawa ng campaign? Lagi na lang bang campaigns ang nasa isip ng mga prof? Pulitiko ba sila?

Hay hanggang ngayon ay sad pa rin ako sa kinalabasan ng exam sa CRes 101 kahapon. Sobrang aral na nga ako tapos hindi pa iyon yung lumabas sa exam. Hay...

Mabuti na lang at may grupong ALCHEMES na maghahatid ng saya sa araw ko, bukod sa kadahilanang espesyal ang araw na ito. ahihihi...

Ang pangunahing dahilan ng pagpunta namin doon ay ang talk ni MTRCB chair Ma. Consoliza "Halaan" Laguardia. Yes, isa siyang halaan dahil kailangang iisa lang ang kulay ng get-up niya, parang si Ma'am Violy. May report kasi kami sa censorship so kailangan naming malaman kung anong say niya. Sayang naman at hindi kami nakakuha ng free passess... depressing.

Pero the best sa lahat ang film showing. LIVE SHOW! yes, ang super controversial na film noong 90's. Kaso mahina iyong sound, box-office hit kasi eh kaya siksikan. Buti na lang may"sobtaytel."

Mga natutunan sa pelikula:

1.) Dapat isa kang stuntman para makapag-live show ng successful.

2.) Ang live show ay parang isang gulong. Minsan ika'y nasa baba, minsan naman sa ibabaw.

3.) Meron ding mga sitwasyong lilipad ka sa ere. Sa pagkakataong nasa ere ka na, maaari kang sumigaw ng, "Look Ma, no hands!"

4.) Kung gusto mo namang i-survey ang scene, magala-elisi ka!

5.) At panghuli, chaka ang mga naglalive show. Ang chaka rin ni Ogie Diaz. Yuck!

Oo nga pala, Laguardian Angel, ang corny mo!

Tren, Pelikula at Ka-jologs-an
ang naidudulot ng maskom sa tao

At last, tapos na rin ang mga "long-pero-short-lang-para-sa-prof" na papers. Ang proproblemahin ko naman ngayon ay ang Midterms sa CRes 101 sa Thursday, Rxn paper sa Film 10 at Field work sa Saturday.

So recap ng mga nakakalokang pangyayari sa buhay ko...

*****

Napalabas na raw iyong MYX encounter ko! Ano naman kaya ang hitsura ko doon?! Si Jep ang nakapanood at sinabi niya kay Mark na kinuwento naman kay Jack na siyang nagbalita sa akin. whew!

Stardom theez eez eet!!!

*****

Kanina dahil nag-cram ako ng paper for C140 nag-absent ako sa Geog 1. hanggang ngaun ay wala akong idea kung anong ginawa nila kasi wala akong number ng classmate ko doon. Goodluck!

Pero siyempre hindi ko pwedeng palampasin ang class ni Sir Teodoro. Kaso kung mamalasin ka nga naman, dahil sa lakas ng ulan hanggang sa Anonas lang ang train. Okay lang alam ko naman ang gagawin after. Marami pa naman akong time. Pero tinamaan naman ng lintik, kada station titigil ang train for 5-10 minutes. Daig pa ang mga bakaw na driver ng jeep. Well hindi naman nila pinupuno ang train, matagal lang kasi iyong pagbalik ng mga train.

Siyempre anong petsa na ako nakarating sa skul! pero keri lang, hindi pa naman ako ganoon ka-late.

*****

Tagumpay si Raine dahil nakuha na niya ang contact info ni Chubiboy. Naalala ko flinames ko silang dalawa nung Friday kasi boring iyong report sa C140.

So ang plano ni Raine ay magsimula by making anew e-mail address na hindi siya makikilala. Yes, start na ito ng professional career ni Raine as a stalker. Nag-iisip kami kanina ng mga posibleng gamitin:

Angelo: hotbitch@wherever.com at tiemeup@wherever.com

Pero para maintindihan ng maigi ang daloy ng kwento, naisingit ni Rej ang tungkol sa jackstones. Nagdala kasi si Kayc noon dati. Si Raine champion! Tapos may nagsabi na parang she's fond of playing with... at ang sabi ko BALLS!

At dito ko na naisip ang bagay na e-mail add kay Raine: shootthatball@wherever.com

Sabi naman ni Angelo hindi pwede iyon kasi babae si Raine. Dapat daw: shoottheball@wherever.com

Well Raine we've given you our suggestions. Sana i-consider mo sila. :]

*****

Panalo ang waiting for Film 10 to start namin kanina. Jamie, a classmate asked us to answer some of the questions sa Jologs Quiz niya for PanPil 17. At sobrang enjoy kasi naglabasan ang pagka-jologs naming lahat like...

... Ano ang pangalan ni Jolina sa Gimmick:

Esie! (sigaw ni Raine!)

... Anong Japanese song ang sumikat noong 1995?

Lucha and Rej: ay alam ko yan!
Lucha started humming.
Narinig ni Baj at kinanta pero clueless pa rin kami sa kung ano ang title.
Raine: {chorva chorva chorva} naibigay niya iyong sagot kaso nakalimutan ko eh. Kakaiba ka Raine!

... Ano ang tawag sa taong laging natatalo?

Angelo: burutin!
Rej and Lucha: ha?
Angelo: burutin!
Lucha: ngayon ko lang narinig iyon.
Angelo: halatang hindi kayo natatalo eh.
Lucha: Yeah, coz it takes one to know one!
hahahaha... (Angelo burutin! peace!) :]

Actually marami pa pero nakalimutan ko na. Enjoy kasi naglabasan kung sino talaga ang mga jologs. Nadiscover ko pa na may sobrang nakakaaliw na similarity kami ni Raine. Parehas kaming buong ipinagmamalaking isigaw na: MABUHAY ANG FUNNY KOMIKS!!!

*****

Kumusta naman ang Dersu Uzala na isang Russian film na pinanood namin kahapon. Pero wag ka ateh, winner iyong ng Best Picture. Thousand of years ago nga lang! :] Pero cutie-cutiehan ang story at bida. After nung screening ang premiere ng Kubrador sa UPFI. Kumusta naman ang mahabang pila at si Baj na nasa dulo ng pila di ba?! Wish ko lang naka-upo siya.

At hindi pa rin natatapos ang sangkaterbang films na kailangang panoorin. Sister Stella L naman ang drama namin sa Aug 26.

*****

Naku ang haba na nito parang iyong kilometric photo essay ni Raine. Para nga pala sa mga avid readers ko (nyaks!!!), comment lang sa ibaba okay. Wiz ko na bet and chatterbox sa sidebar. Click niyo na alng ang Anong say mo lola? para masaya.

2006-08-13T23:10:00.000+08:00

Dahil minsan lang itong mangyari...

Kinailangan kong ihinto ang lahat ng kailangan kong gawin kahit na mahaba-haba pa ang hindi ko nagagawa noong Linggo ng umaga. Sa kadahilanang sa wakas ay natiyempuhan na rin namin ng ate ko ang pinakahihintay naming episode ng Talk Asia. Hay... sulit naman. Para sa minamahal kong F4 go lang!

Siyempre hindi ko na naman napigilan ang sarili kong magtititili sa harap ng telebisyon nung makita ko si Vic at Ken. Hay, i remember the days...

At dahil sila Vaness at Ken lang naman ang marunong mag-ingles, karamihan ng tanong ay sila ang sumasagot. Lalo na si Vaness. Pero once in a while nakakatuwa at sumasagot din sila Vic at Jerry. Natatawa pa nga ako sa hitsura ni Vic kasi nasa gilid siya, para siyang kawawa. hehehe...

Ang gwapo ni Vic!!!

At siyempre si Jerry na windang ay may matindi-tinding banat. Tinanong kasi sila kung paano nila hinahancle ang mga paparazzi. Si Ken sabi eh di mag-stay lang sa bahay. At siyempre hindi padadaig si Jerry. Dapat ay may linya din siya. Sabi niya, "oh yeah DVDs! I watch DVDs when I'm at home." Oh di ba ikonek ba ang sinabi ni Ken na pag-stay sa bahay sa panonood ng DVD. hay, laughter moments!!!

Sa loob ng 30 minuto, pinasaya ng F4 ang araw ko. :]

Sana bumalik ulit sila dito sa Philippines as a group. Manonood ulit ako ng concert kahit na parang langgam lang sila sa view ko. Pero mas maganda rin kung may sponsor at palalakihin ang tingin ko sa kanila.

From Cinemalaya to the MYX encounter
(be afraid, be very afraid!)

I have tons of paper to do that is why I am doing this fast. Maybe my next entry will be on Wednesday or next weekend na. My schedule's really hectic and I have lots of things to accomplish. Theres the Film 10 paper on Run Lola Run due this Tue; the C140 Mid-term "short" paper (5-6 pages long) about a campaign thing due also on Tue; CRes 101 Midterm Exams this Thursday; and field work for the CRes Dept. Extension Project this coming weekend.

Whew!

*****

The MYX Encounter

Raine, Rej, and I while waiting in line for FI to open saw the crew of MYX going around the area. Raine was excited and was thinking of a second 'guest appearance' after her interview at SC. The crew asked the girl in dreadlocks a few steps from us to say something infront of the cam. She refused to do so so the crew went on to look for other guys willing to do it. Then they went to our direction and asked me. I was hesitant but the girl said "Sayang naman ang necklace mo!" (see i was wearing my colorful beaded necklace then).

Her statement really made me laugh so I said "Why not?!" So there a few seconds later I was in front of the camera saying

MYX SPACE, VOTE SPACE, TITLE OF THE SONG

a couple of times. They made me do two slow versions and two fast ones.

Hahaha... that's another TV encounter for me!!! (Alpha nauungusan na kita!) :P

*****

Cinemalaya and the Barok Gang!

Rej, Raine and I watched Saan Nagtatago si Happiness? last Thursday afternoon at UPFI (where else?) We had Jamie our Film 10 classmate with us. Again, it was eating time for us. We just had our lunch but the moment we entered the cinema we ate and ate and ate until we where so full but still we wanted to eat more. I also saw Ses with her blockmates. I wonder if they skipped classes like me?!

Well the movie was okay. I wasn't that moved unlike the first movie we watched. It has plenty of song numbers and they're original mind you! It stars Andy Bais, who was also there during the screening, and Mica Torre (Bencho in Bituing Walang Ningning). Darling Lavina was also in the movie the "sexy-daw-eh-ang-taba-naman" actress.

We also got to watch a short film entry entitle 10:25 ng Gabi after the show. While watching the film, KC text Raine that *tooot tooot tooot* (gayahin na natin si Raine na ayaw pangalanan si Chubiboy) was at the isawan sa Ilang. Raine went gaga but we had to finish the film first. They tried (Rej and Raine) to see him but to no avail. He was already gone. Don't worry Raine hindi pa panahon. :]

Last Tuesday, we (Rej, Raine, Anjo, Baj, Jack and I) watched Tulad ng Dati, the winner for best picture in this year's festival. It stars The Dawn, Agot Isidro and Ping Medina as Teddy Diaz. Ganda sobra! Lots of singing and insert videos. =Goosebumps= Kamukha talaga ni Jett si Sweet! .lol.

Grabe, the whole FI was full. Even students from other schools went to watch.

Siyempre kainan ulit. Galing pa lang kami ng Maskom dala na namin ang fooddiee!!! After the show Anjo and Baj still watched the next one In Da Red Korner. It stars Meryl Soriano naman. Hindi ko feel iyon from the moment I read the synopsis. It was like Million Dollar Baby kasi.

Anyway here are the bloopers/ ka-barokan of our gang:

Angelo: 5 foot

This is an update to our conversation of Raine about the original float makers.

Raine: Alam mo ba iyong sinabi ni Lucha tungkol sa original na float?
Rej: ano?
Lucha: Sige ikaw sino ang original na nagbenta ng float?
Rej: R&W ba un?
Raine and Lucha: bwahahahahahaahaha.....
Rej: Ano ba?
Lucha: baka RTW (Ready To Wear)
Rej: Bakit ano ba iyong kay Lucha?
Raine: Sabi ni Lucha B&W.
Rej: hahahaha... eh ano ba?
Raine: Dapat A&W!

*****

Run Lola Run

This is such a wonderful film. Grabe riveting siya! Worthy to be considered as a classic and to be included in the book 501 Movies to Watch (My fave book sa CMC lib!) It stars Franka Potente at basta sobrang ganda! Swear!

Just watch it!

2006-08-08T21:21:00.000+08:00

Sabog ka ba?!

Dahil sa pagod dala ng acads, hindi maiiwasan na maging sabog paminsan-minsan. Narito ang ilang account ng pagiging sabog ko with my blockamtes. Note that dahil sabog nga, may ibang salitaan na base na lamang sa pagkakaalala ng awtor.

:: Kumakain kami ni Raine sa KFC matapos ang PE last Saturday...

Raine: Ano ang float mo, coke?
Ako: Hindi, mas gusto ko ang sprite. Ayoko talaga ng sarsi or rootbeer.
Raine: Ako iyon ang gusto ko. Di ba rootbeer naman talaga kapag float?
Ako: Oo. Ang original pa nga na float iyong sa B&W.
Raine: Di ba A&W?
Ako: Ay oo nga! (laughter moments!!!)

:: Nakasakay kami ni Raine sa bus. Pauwi na galing ng Power Up...

Ako: Sinong kumanta niyan? [pertaining to the song on the radio]
Raine: Iyong sabon. Ano na nga ba iyon?
Ako: Huh?! [clueless kasi hindi naman talaga mahilig sa mga banda]
Raine: Ay Soapdish pala!!!

:: Narito pa ang ilan...

== Signboard sa isang bus: ASIA MALL

== Hirit ni Kay nang malamang basketball ang topic namin ni Raine nung Monday:

Kay: Kamukha ni Sir Jao si Marvin Cruz.
Raine and I: ...

Sa sobrang tindi ng banat ni Kay hindi kami agad nakapag-react. Matapos ang ilang segundo...

Raine and I: Hindi!!!!

Pero pramis, hindi niya talaga kamukha.

== Gustong ma-meet ni Raine si Migs de Asis!
Gusto kong ma-meet si Macky Escalona!

:: Ilang tanong na bumabagabag sa isipan ko sa kasalukuyan:

Nakita or nakasalubong ko na kaya si Buyco?

Bakit weird at hindi maka-free-throw si Cacha?

Virgin pa kaya si Marvin Cruz? Eh si Escalona?

Hay...

my GARDAN angel

2006-08-07T20:29:00.000+08:00

Kelangan ko ng Gardan!!!!

Grabe, sobrang sakit ng katawan ko ngayon. Eh ikaw ba naman ang kumarir sa pader at maka-walong akyat sa isang araw, at matapos ang isang araw na pahinga ay umakyat ulit ng anim pa, tignan ko lang kung hindi manakit ang buo mong katawan. Ganyan ang emote ko ngayon dahil sa pe kong sportclimbing. Pero masaya talaga siya, lalo na at kasama ko ang mga blockmates ko. Hay...

Ngayon nga hindi na ako natatakot na mag-let go (ibig sabihin bumitaw sa bato at magpakalambitin sa ere). Although natatakot pa rin ako kapag masyado nang mataas at hirap na ang kamay at paa ko dahil ang liit ng ibang bato. Pero happy naman ako at may improvement. Six panel na ang naaabot ko kapatid! Ang buong wall kasi ay more or less kasing taas ng two-story na building. Huwaw!!!

Pero frustrated pa rin akong matapos ang Finals at Samson walls. Sana naman next week magtagumpay na ako.

Okay iwan muna natin ang chismax tungkol sa akin. Alam niyo ba na napaka-swerte namin kasi everytime pe namin ay nandoon si Onyok Velasco. Yes, napag-alaman namin na hindi lang boxing ang gamay niya, pinasok na rin niya ang sportclimbing at basketball. Ang version niya ng triathlon ayon kay Raine. =] Pero hindi diyan nagtatapos ang chores na kaya niyang gawin. Taga-empake rin siya ng goody bags-slash-tsinelas at screwdriver ni Baj sa tuwing nasta-stuck ang carabiner niya.

Siyempre hindi naman si O.V. talaga ang nasa amin. Kamukha lang niya. Pero asar ako sa kanya kasi ang sungit sungit niya kaya eto at nilalait ko siya sa blog ko! hmmpp!

Okay tapos na ang eksena niya sa blog ko, ako ulit.

Oh Gardan Angel where are you?!

thy beautiful hands

2006-08-06T23:14:00.000+08:00

My blockmate Kay e-mailed this to me. I was amazed that is why I am posting it. Try it, it's really cool!!!

Why wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger?

Please follow the steps below.

First, bend the center fingers and put them together, back to back.

Second, rest the other four fingers to their opposites, tip to tip.

Try to open your thumbs. The thumbs represent parents. They can be opened because all humans will die someday. Our parents will also leave us when their time comes.

Please close up your thumbs, then open your second fingers. The fingers represent brothers and sisters They will have their own families. They will leave us too.

Now close up your second fingers, then open up your little fingers. They represent your children. Sooner or later, they too will leave us.

Nevertheless, close up your little finger. Try to open your fourth fingers, where we put our wedding ring; you will be surprise to find that it cannot be opened at all. Because it represents husband and wife, you will be attached to each other your whole life.

Katatawanan sa Classroom

2006-08-05T22:05:00.000+08:00

Katatawanan sa Classroom
PART I

Fantastic talaga ang UP. Ang dami mong makikilala na klase ng estudyante. At siyempre sa mga pagkakataong may reporting sa klase, nariyan ang mga ever panalong quotable quotes.

Ang mga sumusunod ay ang mga pang-hall of fame sa katatawanan na namutawi sa bibig ng aking C140 classmates:

"Valley parking"

Naloka naman daw kami ni Raine nang mabasa sa powerpoint presentation and "valley" instead of "valet." I wonder if others noticed it too. Just imagine you'll park your chevy sa "patag na lupa sa pagitan ng mga bundok." Parang you'd rather commute na lang kaysa nman 10 years ang abutin para mai-park at makabalik sa iyo ang carrooo mo. Uubusin pa ang gas mo!!!

"Ezzay"

Feeling ko kamag-anak niya ang secretary ni Councilor Aiko Melendez-Jickain na si Mr. "Iz like diz" a.k.a. Sergio dahil sa mga buhok sa kanyang dibdib na nagpupumilit makalabas ng polo niya.
For more info about Sergio, hanapin niyo na alng sa archives ko ang past entry ko about our trip to QC Hall.

ezzay --> easy essay (joke!)

"Na-sakuna ka na ba?"

Sobrang deep di ba? pero ang ibig sabihin lang niyan eh kung may nangyari na bang masama sa iyo. Grabe, laughter moments talaga nung sinabi niya!

At ang pinaka-panalo sa lahat (actually marami pa, pero ito ang natandaan namin):

"We has to persuase her. Not only her but the audiences as well. Sorry if my terms are too technical."

Thank you Angelo for texting me this one na nagmula originally sa mapanuring pag-iisp ni Toni. Thank you Raine for correcting the whole sentence.

Need I say more about the statement?!

Basta ang alam ko lang happy ang day ko at ang advice ko lang ha, wag magsayaw kapag nag-rereport. Medyo distracting kasi eh! :]

cinemalaya 2006

2006-08-04T21:25:00.000+08:00

Cinemalaya 2006 goes to UPFI next week. Actually from Monday until Thursday lang siya. Excited na ako. We are required to watch at least two full length films for our Film 10 class. Actually this month medyo mapapadalas ako sa FI for my Film class. Sobrang bet ko ang Film 10. Shift kaya ako?!

Anyway, here are the synopsis of the films in this year's festival. Got it from the official website.
Ang possible kong mapanood ay ang Tulad ng Dati (yehey, may ticket na kami!) at baka iyong Saan Nagtatago si Happiness, para happy naman ang life! Aabsent ako sa Physics!!! hehehe...

Ayan Anjo, Raine, Rej, and Baj, take your pick na... sinama ko na rin ang mga director, baka bias kasi kayo eh... hehehe...

SAAN NAGTATAGO SI HAPPINESS?
(Where is Happiness?)
by: Florida Bautista and Real S. Florido

Crazy and heartwarming!

Finding happiness isn’t part of Tikyo’s everyday plan. For him, at the age of 50, nothing is as simple as selling sorbetes, his only source of living. Everything’s just perfectly fine.

Until, breaking news comes—his mother, whom he believed, for so long, was already in heaven, is still alive. Dogged and eager, Tikyo will do everything to reconcile with the woman he loves the most—from the long queue in the TV studio to the chaotic newsroom of a radio station to the lunatic and hysterical fortune teller. Every effort, he does with the help of his best bud, Nene, the neglected child of the tenement.

His world will be lost in confusion when the girl of his dreams comes, Sara, fresh and charming. The 50-year old guy is now torn between finding his mom and pursuing the young woman’s heart. Tikyo believes that true happiness will come to him if he’ll be successful in winning the two women. Tikyo must find his way to happiness, lead other people to it or redefine its true meaning.

Inside the Fernando house, nobody talks. Lives are kept to themselves; problems are not shared; questions are not entertained. The people living inside it have become used to leaving everything unstirred especially Margaret, the mother of the home.

Margaret’s desire for cleanliness and order alienates her from her family. She cannot confront the problems of her life and so she confronts dirty dishes, ugly stains, and disorderly appliances. To get to know her family, she snoops around - entering rooms, opening cabinets, reading journals she is not supposed to read.

But everything changes when a journal entry of her daughter’s makes her unravel, stirring the unstirred life that she has held on to for years.

ROTONDA
by: Ron Bryant

Beginning at the break of dawn and ending the next morning, the story, set around a rugged city intersection, follows the path of a marked one-thousand-peso bill as it transfers from one character to another, returning to its originator in the end, blood-tainted. The money leads us to each of the five offbeat characters, all in desperate need of their soul’s redemption: a disillusioned tabloid reporter planning to commit suicide in a motel, a nightclub dancer con prostitute who has avowed to give her kid sister a better life, a fallen henchman resurfacing to score big time, a chronic runaway teenage girl held captive as sex slave by a cop, and a long-suffering son bearing a sadomasochistic relationship with his brutish, half-paralyzed father who behaves like a mad dictator in his wheelchair. Like a ticking time bomb, the story unravels with unforgiving immediacy and explodes in the end with a tabloid front-pager triple homicide where death seems to have come full circle.

TULAD NG DATI
( Just Like Before)
by: Michael Sandejas

TULAD NG DATI follows the current exploits of the Filipino rock band, The Dawn, composed of Teddy Diaz, JB Leonor, Caloy Balcells and Jett Pangan. During the second half of the 1980s, the band had risen to become the most influential musical rock group of the time. At the height of their popularity, their leader, Teddy Diaz is murdered. The remaining members decide to continue on with the music but eventually disband in 1996. In 2003, The Dawn reunited.

Tulad ng Dati starts in 2006. It revolves around the character of Jett Pangan who is nearing his forties. Jett has lost his passion for music and life and entertains thoughts of retiring from the band. On a fateful night, Jett is assaulted by a burglar and goes into a coma. He wakes up with no memory of his life after 1988. He remembers that he is 20 years old and is at the peak of his career with The Dawn. Not satisfied with how things turned out with his life, he tries to change everything back to to the way it used to be. The path he takes while finding his place in this strange new world proves itself to be a tough, emotional, and sometimes hilarious journey—accompanied by the celebrated music of The Dawn, both past and present.

may isang malaking wish ako ngayong mga panahon na ito eh. hindi ko muna masyadong pinagtutuunan ng pansin ang rebond ng buhok dahil hindi pwede hanggat may p.e. classes pa ako. sa susunod na lang iyon.

ewan ko ba. may pagkaluka-loka kasi ako eh. hindi nga. ang tatak ng picture na nasa itaas ay crocs. sandal-rubber-footwear-i-don't-know but still feel na feel ko pa rin siya. alam ko medyo parang weird ang look niya pero cute pa rin siya para sa akin.

kaso siyempre kaya ko nga siya isang wish dahil may problema. una, maliit ang aking paa. yes, medyo hindi proportion ang paa ko sa katawan ko. hindi ko naman sinasabi na maskulado ako ano, pero basta maliit at payat lang talaga ang paa ko. kaya nga lagi akong hirap bumili ng sapatos at maging ang havaianas ko ay kinailangan ko pang pa-tapyasan.

ikalawa, may kamahalan ang footwear na ito. $30 lang naman mga ateh! like hello, rubber shoes na iyon kapatid. hehehe... pero gagawa pa rin ako ng paraan para makakuha ng isa. sana lang mag-succeed ako. hehehe... sana mas mura siya sa HK kasi...

or sana ang galanteng makakabasa nito ay magbibigay sa akin sa pasko or bday ko. hehehe... punta ka lang ng rustans. hehehe...

2006-07-28T21:44:00.000+08:00

humanda na naman para sa isang mahabang post. medyo tinatamad at busy rin ako at the same time this week kaya talagang lingguhan ang update, kung update nga iyong matatawag.

***

sobrang thankful ako at may bagyo. sa totoo lang ayoko talaga ng ulan, pero medyo maganda ang timing ni Glenda kaya ayos! marami kasi akong kelangan gawin na hindi ko pa nagagawa. andyan iyong survey questionnaires na ipapasa dapat sa Wednesday. buti na lang at inextend ni Ma'am U until Monday. Tapos pati and Review of Related Lit ng paper namin dapat due din this last Wed, buti na lang at next week na lang.

***

So SONA ni GMA. leche nasa pwesto pa rin siya. anyway hindi ko naman masyadong na-savor ang panonood ng sona kasi nakatulog ako. hehehe... although medyo funny kasi may mga special appearances pa ng kung sinu-sinong tao. ang politics talaga dito sa pilipinas, showbiz! kahit pa sabihin niya na she's not going to talk about politics, obvious naman ang politicking sa speech niya.

although indirectly niyang sinabi ang need for a change in our constitution, may mga patama naman siya about ibalik ang lugar or something sa mga mamamayan. Eh di about federal thing iyon di ba. Tsaka iyong mga patutsada niya na magagawa ang mga iyon (wish list niya) kapag clear na ang saligang batas. bullshit!

***

After ng mahabang vacation ay may pasok na ako nung Thursday. At kung mamalasin ka nga naman. Grabe ang haba ng pila para makasakay ng jeep sa katips. parang nagbabakasyon pa ang mga driver kasi iilan lang talaga iyong jeep na andun. sobrang haba ng pila na pa-zig-zag na siya. Buti na alng ang bait ni Raine at sinamahan niya ulit ako sa dulo ng line kahit na medyo malapit na siya makasakay.

Kaso malas talaga eh. Na-flat ang isang gulong nung jeep na sinasakyan namin nung bandang nasa Ateneo na kami. So kumusta naman iyon?! We had to wait for manong driver to change the tire pa. It took him almost 20 minutes. eh traffic pa di ba. At medyo sa Maskom pa kami so matagal pa ang biyahe. Ayun late kami. hehehe... Sa likod na tuloy kami naka-upo. huhuhu...

***

Lumabas na ang results ng exam namin sa Physics. Amazing ang score ko! Although amdali lang naman talaga ang exam, I didn't expect na ganoon "kataas" ang makukuha ko. Hehehe sobrang happiness talaga!!!

Speaking of Physics, natawa naman daw ako sa nakalagay sa mga emails ni Sir Arciaga sa amin, "I am mathematically, geologically, biologically, chemically, and physically handsome." Sige lang Sir mangarap ka! hehehe... Check out his website. Judge him yourself. hehehe... click niyo iyong photos or works niya. sasambulat sa inyo ang fez ng lolo. Nakakatuwa din kasi may background music pa talaga fit for a royal blood. hehehe... as if. lol.

At hindi pa nagtatapos ang issue ko kay Sir. Medyo mapang-okray kasi ang lolo mo eh, so kelangan malagay iyan sa blog ko. Bet ko kasi ang mga okray people! Sa exam kasi namin, may bonus questions na sasabihin mo lang kung ano ang likes and dislikes mo sa class niya. Then sa likes, may classmate ako na nilagay ang mga seatmates niya. Sabi ba naman ng lolo mo, "Bakit ngayon ka lang ba nagkaroon ng kaibigan?" As in laughter moments talaga! Then may isang girl naman na wiz niya like (meaning hindi niya like) ang tawanan sa klase kasi hindi raw niya ma-gets. At ang reply ng lolo mo, "Slow?!" Ay ang bad talaga! Pero enjoy din!

***

Okay last na ito. Nag-reply kasi ang prof ko sa Film sa email ko sa kanya. At sa ibaba ng mail niya ay nakalagay:

^^^***---___---***^^^
because there is such a thing as
freedom of _expression...
and fabulousness!

Okay so iyan ang happenings sa life ko. Now I have to go back to my readings and my RRL. gudlak naman sa akin!

ang demanding ng CRes

2006-07-22T23:14:00.000+08:00

Ang linggong nagdaan. Yikes ang drama!

Well umpisahan na natin noong sabado na sobrang saya kasi i got to see my former high school friends again. kaya lang medyo ten years akong naghintay sa tokyo tokyo kasi medyo todo-ayos pa si jack eh. lolz. mabuti na lang at perfect ang california maki at kahit papaano ay may pampalubag-loob. habang nasa tokyo tokyo ako dumating si winnie cordero (tama ba isfelings?) mukha siyang nanay. hahaha. hindi naman sa masamang maging nanay ano pero basta ordinary, ayun, yun pala dapat ang term. ordinary siya. hindi dapat siya ang endorser ng enervon. i expected her to be jumping jumping all over the place. lolz.

anyway, buti na lang at hindi rin naman traffic so smooth sailing ang ride sa taxi. si manong driver nagbalak pang makisali sa kainan. hehehe... at syempre early birds na naman kami.
hay, kelan kaya matututo ang einstein na maging on-time?!

sa physics naman si sir blanca pa rin ang prof. ui crush ni raine. hahaha... anyway sana hindi siya gaanong nagsusuot ng fit na top kasi halatang nilalamig siya eh. bakat kasi. hahaha...

naku sick pala si lolo teddy. kelan namn kaya siya papasok medyo ilang meetings na na wala siya eh. so tambay na lang ulit sa maskom lib. at may napansin lang ako sa mga cmc studes. medyo marami pala ang balat kalabaw sa maskom ano. sobrang lamig sa lib pero ang damit parang nasa bahay or beach lang.

sa film naman we watched elephant, winner sa cannes film fest. sosyal! anyway, we were supposed to take note of the different shots at lighting sa film. kaso nung second screening na, nakatulog ako. hahaha... pero maganda naman iyong film, all about school killings. i wonder, bakit sa philippines walang ganoon. sana kahit isa meron. pero wag naman sa UP. hahaha...

natuloy na rin sa wakas and pakain ni sesinanda. at least nagkaroon ako ng time off sa super stressful na acads. so isaw muna! *yum yum*

wednesday na nga alng ang pahinga ko, i had to go to school pa. we attended sir paragas' colloqium. nung afternoon we consulted ma'm vau for our cres paper. yes! at last, final na rin ang topic namin. *big grin*

siyempre hindi nagtatapos sa research paper sa CRes 101 and pagmamaltrato ng CRes sa amin. dagdagan mo pa iyon ng survey questionnaires na kelangan maipasa next wednesday. although kung tutuusin mas madali pa iyon ha kasi pre-test lang. eh paano naman kapag iyong actual na survey na. hay... sobrang pahirap ha. sino nagsabing walang ginagawa sa CRes. kayo, try niyo. sobrang demanding!

kahit friday na kahapon hindi pa rin okay kasi may exam pa ako kanina sa physics eh. sa C140 nag-talk lang si Sir Knee from Ohio University. "friend" daw siya ni sir paragas. hahaha intriga ito! ang masasabi ko lang sa kanya, sana hindi na lang siya nag-belt kung maya't maya niya ring itataas ang pants niya. hahaha...

so ayun nga, exam ko sa physics kanina. nakakatuwa kasi sa attendance sheet nakalagay kung how did we find the exam. iyong iba sabi hirap daw nung essay. siyempre dahil tinatamad na naman akong mag-elaborate ng mga hinaing ko, nilagay ko: keri lang!

at sana keri lang din ang san tambak na gagawin for CRes 101. idagdag mo pa ang ever pa-importanteng GE na geog 1.

hayy... haba rin nito ha. kapagod. well waddya expect, busy ang lola mo so weekly ang pag-update ng blog.

2006-07-15T07:30:00.000+08:00

So here's my paunang gift for you two. (pauna siya as i said, wish niyo lang may sumonod pa!) :]

medyo matindi-tinding effort din ang mga pinaggagawa ko sa pics na iyan ha. wish ko lang ma-appreciate niyo. bruha kayo!!! hahaha...

fyi: ang name naming beklas ay nagmula sa malikhaing utak ni angelica. ayaw kasi namin na mag-stay sa journalism room so we made a note sa board. ayun, binola bola namin ang sp adviser namin. in the end nakalagay: from ylmaz beklas.

syempre bet ko naman na kilala niyo si ylmaz. ang hubby ni ruffa g. eh dahil kami ay walang kasing bakla kung magaarte, nagkaroon ng variation at naging beklas. saya!

ayan hindi ako nagpapatawa ha, fyi yan.

o siya, tama na ang pagmamaganda! blog ko ito kaya enough of your faces here. hehehe...

Darna!

2006-07-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

Nag-start ba kaming umakyat sa Sportclimbing. Sa wakas naman. Pero katulad ng ibang mga "first time," sobrang kinabahan ako. Medyo okay pa naman noong tinuturo ni Sir Jao ang mga gagawin sa pag-akyat, pero nung may nag-demo, OMG, parang hindi ko ata kaya.

Wala si Christopherson kaya jumoin si Angelo sa amin ni Baj. Ayun para kaming mga sirang tawa ng tawa. hahaha...

Siyempre iyong pinakamadali na ang inuna namin: ang kiddie walk!!! So nauna na si Baj then ako. Inilalagay palang iyong harness sa akin sobrang kinakabahan na ako. Tapos nag-start na akong umakyat. Afraif talaga ako sa matataas na lugar kaya habang umaakyat ako feel na feel kong ang taas taas ko na. Hay sobrang nanginginig na ang mga kamay ko. gusto ko ng bumaba! pero kiddie walk lang iyon kaya kailangan ko siya matapos. Pagdating ko sa tuktok... ayyy... gusto ko ng mamatay! grabe nakakaloka talaga!!! Parang ayoko bumaba kasi natatakot ako. ni hindi nga ako tumitingin sa baba eh. Buti na lang at kinaya pa naman ng powers ko na makababa kahit papaano.

Enjoy ang day ko ngayon. Kaso dalawang walls lang ang naakyat namin eh. Iyong pangalawa akyat-akyatan lang (up to the third panel nga lang eh). hehehe... nung nga pababa na ako biglang nag-swing iyong tali, ala-Darna tuloy ako sa ere! :]

"Ito ang inyong Tiya Dely"

2006-07-05T19:47:00.000+08:00

Ang mga naganap sa naganap na UP Gawad Plaridel 2006:

Si Fidela "Tiya Dely" Magpayo ang awardee this year. She has been a media practitioner (specifically sa radio) for 67 years now.

Si Ate Vi!!! Yes present din ang awardee last year na si Miss Vilma Santos (for film naman). At siyempre naman daw mas tinilian pa siya kaysa kay Tiya Dely.

Hindi rin nagpatalo ang faculty ng Comm Res Dept. Ma'am Aguila was Hot! Hot! Hot! Super sexy niya in her crimson red dress. Si Ma'am San Pascual naman looked cute sa colorful top niya. And Ma'am David looked so sophisticated in her suit. Nakita ko na rin si Ma'am Pernia. She's the new dean of CMC.

Sa thank you speech ni Tiya Dely, nabanggit niya ang mga members ng board na in-charge sa pagpili ng awardee. She said thank you to Lourdes "Cortez." At sino naman kaya si Lourdes Cortez?! Hahaha... she was referring pala to Ma'am Lourdes Portus, ang CMC College Sec. Hahaha...

Enjoy naman ang buong event, kaso nga lang ano naman ang ilalagay ko sa reaction paper ko sa Film 10? Hindi kasi nag-lecture per se ang lola mo. Kundi nambola at nag-thank you lang siya sa tagal ng itinayo niya sa stage. I guess kelangan ko rin siyang gayahin, bobolahin ko na lang ang reaction paper ko. hahaha...

happy day!

2006-07-03T21:58:00.000+08:00

Sobrang enjoy ang morning namin kaninang SCL buddies.

Ma'am Cuerdo called Sir Jao at sa gym namin kelangang magpunta. The reason: may practice ng cheering for the UAAP. So sa 10 am batch na kami kasali.

After nag-check ng attendance si Sir Jao sa new gym, pasok na kami sa "warehouse." On our way there, we saw Marvin Cruz. WEll deadma muna. pero "muna" lang iyon, pero paglagpas namin... wahhhhh... sobrang naloka ako!!! Makalaglag panty ateh!

Then start na ng practice. We were seated sa highest row ng bleachers. Then si Kay may na-sight na papalicious. Infairness, mabilis din ang radar nitong si Kay ha. :] Sabi niya, "cutte iyong naka-red." And true, ang gwapo nga.

So nagkaroon pa ng matinding debate sa pagkatao ni papalicious naka-red. Sabi ni Raine kamukha noong taga-Anime, iyong all boys dance group. Pero parang malabo eh. Ano naman daw ang ginagawa niya sa UP hindi ba?!

Sa gitna ng practice medyo lumapit si papalicious naka-red. At sight na sight namin, true nga, siya nga!!! Wahhh... ang gwapo!!!

Tapos na ang practice at nawala si papalicious naka-red. Pati ang supposed to be speech ni hotness papa Marvin Cruz ay hindi natuloy. We've been deceived!!!

And parang angel (?) na nahulog sa langit itong si Ronan, ang dakilang ex-blockmate namin na nag-shift sa ayaw niyang ipaalam na course. So nagkachikahan muna ng kaunti.

On our way sa CMC we saw this Anime boylet again. So activated na naman ang kabaliwan namin. Siyempre si Kay ulit ang nakakita sa kanya. Feeling ko may super powers si Kay at nadedetect niya agad kung nasaan ang mga papa. hehehe... Sumakay na siya sa service niya. Binalak pa ni Baj na magpasagasa just for the sake na makita siya.

Nasa Vanguard naman kami nang biglang mag-apparition itong si papa Marvin. Ayyy... kaloka!!!

At nahulog muli mula sa langit (?) itong si Ronan. Nakita namin siya sa may kanto ay siya na ang nag-inform sa amin na si Anime boy ay si Mhyco/Mico Antona (not sure na spelling) na isang freshie kumukuha ng Theatre Arts. Madalas din daw siyang tumambay sa may FC kaya may bago na kaming tambayan. :]

So expect niyo na alng na pakalat-kalat kami doon looking for papalicious naka-red. :]

===

Speaking of celebrities, nakita namin ni Jack si Carlene Aguilar sa FC. Well hindi ko alam kung bakit siya andoon. Wala na akong pake doon. Ang masasabi ko lang, hindi sila bagay ni Dennis Trillo! hahaha...

Skirt Day!

2006-07-02T21:09:00.000+08:00

Last Tuesday our block (well most of us that have the same Comm 140 class), decided to wear skirt on Friday. Well inspired by Kay's wardrobe that day. Well we just did it for fun. Try try lang.

Friday came and I went to school wearing pants. Sadly, there's my monthly enemy that hindered me from wearing skirt. It would have been the first time I'll be showing the world my fresh digs from my sister's baul. Hahaha... she's not that ancient pa naman. Well not really. Basta. the clothings I've been talking about were sent by our relatives abroad. My mom and I, while disposing some of our unnecessary stuff last summer, found this black skirt with white design on it. It's more of an ukay already. But nonetheless, okay na rin.

So there, I was kinda sad I wasn't able to comply with the arrangements for the day. Maybe next time. When my enemy is gone.

And before I end this post, let me just congratulate Raine for looking wonderful last Friday. Of course Block K3 is full of gorgeous ladies. But it was the first time we saw Raine in a lady-like outfit. Hurray!!! Actually she was the one hesitant at first in wearing skirts. Well, I wish you could have seen her. Wahhh... she's fantastic. *big smile*

announcement...

2006-06-27T19:04:00.000+08:00

You might be wondering why sometimes I don't have an entry, then the next time you check on my site, you'll see that I have posted something naman pala.

Well I am really busy these days so I don't have much time to go online and make an entry. I just write some of my stuff in a notebook and transfer it to the computer whenever I have spare time.

So there, don't be surprised if ever I'll have some posts on a certain day na sobrang tagal na okay. Just read what I write. No more violent reactions aight?!

the powerpuff girls

2006-06-26T21:56:00.000+08:00

My mom and I went to a party last Saturday. Siyempre napilitan lang akong sumama. It was the debut of her best friend's daughter. Siyempre sosyal ang drama ng debut. They're from the States talaga. Pero for some reason, their children decided to stay here in the Phil. to give it a try. So ayun, 2nd year student ngaun si debutant sa UST taking Pharmacy.

Medyo hindi talaga ako mahilig sa mga party. hindi naman sa anti-social ako pero wala lang talaga ako sa mood that time. And besides, sino naman ang kakausapin ko doon. Well kilala naman ako ng mommy ng celebrant pero siyempre hindi naman ako ganoon ka-special para ako lang ang i-entertain niya hindi ba. I doubt nga rin kung kilala ako nung celebrant. I met her once pa lang, when we went to their flat. But of course, the usual hi-hello lang.

Pero no choice pa rin. Kailangan kong samahan si mama. Siyempre problema ko pa kung ano ang isusuot ko. Eh hindi nga ako mahilig sa mga ganoon, meaning wala rin akong isusuot. Good thing open for consumption naman ang closet ng sis ko. So wardrobe, check!

Eh paano naman ang hair and make-up. Siyempre open din for services ang sis ko so siya na ang bahala sa lahat. Buti na lang reliable pa rin ang plantsa ko sa hair. So hair and make-up, check!

Okay, so ready na ako. So go na kami sa Heritage Hotel.

Well for some reason may hindi pagkakaunawaan ang mag-best friend. Sabi 6pm ang start. Well when we got there, dear 7 pa pala. So di ba parang sobrang atat naman kami. Kainis talaga.

Anyway, hindi na ako magdedetalye kung gaano kaganda at kabongga ang party. As expected wala akong kausap. So na-activate na lang ang okray powers ko. At infairness, nag-enjoy ako sa pang-o-okray dahil nakakatawa talaga ang ibang bisita.

Ang pinaka nakapagpaligaya ng gabi ko ay ang powerpuff girls. It doesn't mean na tatlo lang sila. Basta gusto ko lang na ppg ang ipangalan sa kanila. So okay, lets begin.

There was this bunch of people from the province. The parents kasi of the celebrant invited their relatives and friends from the province. So there, isang table sila na mga malalayong kamag-anak ng father ni bday girl. Well, how I wish na sana naging creative naman sila sa outfits nila. Well it doesn't mean naman na sosyal ang venue ay kailangang may uniform sila hindi ba. Well from the same family lang ang mga colors ng gowns nila. By the way, kung walang maisuot pwedeng mag-pants. Either orange or red lang. eh hindi naman sila kaputian. naku day kitang-kita ang contrast!!! Nakakaloka talaga.

Imagine this, they were gathered sa isang part of the room. Imagine how stiking that part of the room was!!!

Well hindi lang damit ang na-okray ko sa kanila. Pati ang hair. Kailangan ba talaga one sided lang ang hair. Kaloka. parang may ibon na nakasabit sa gilid ng ulo nung isa sa kanila. If only I brought our cam. Sana you would be able to see how funny it went.

At hindi pa nagtatapos ang lahat doon. Pati ang manners kapatid, my god, nakakaloka. Tama bang makipag-unahan sa akin sa pagkuha ng food. Pati sa pagkuha ng butterflies tama bang makipagkarera pa sa iba. My, swear nakakaloka talaga. If only I had brought a pen I would have described them more in detail.

Hay, how funny talaga ang gabing iyon. Siyempre umuwi akong pagod kahit wala naman akong ginawa doon except manglait. hahaha...

isa pang week

2006-06-24T10:01:00.000+08:00

Well I guess I've been updating in a weekly basis so I'll just make this one short.

Successful ang pagpre-prerog ko sa Sportclimbing. Miss Cuerdo was so kind to take us in. Wagi rin si Raine. Goodbye Caces for us.

The dean of the College of Science was our guest speaker sa Physics 10. I enjoyed his class talaga. Nakakatuwa siya magsalita. May twang.

Required na kaming kumuha ng reading fors Geog 1. Like ang kapal kapal kaya nun. goodluck naman. GE siya ha pero sobrang demanding na subject.

In J 101, Sir Teodorks made us choose three topics we are willing to do for our investigative reports. Then sa class, he looked through them and helped us decide which will be our pinaka-topic.

Finally met Ma'am Cantor. Nakakatuwa siya. I think mag-eenjoy ako sa class niya. She made us watch Natural Born Killers. Sobrang weird and gory nung film. Eh Quentin Tarantino ba anman kapatid.

Nag-brainstorm kami sa CRes 101 for our class project. So far, so good naman ang mga proposals. Siyempre si Anjo lutang na naman with his Kris Aquino topic.

Inamag na ako sa Comm 140 hindi pa rin tapos ang class. Hay, ang boring niya. So sobrang tagal ng oras for all of us. Medyo magulo pa iyong flor ng discussion.

Ang daming readings. Grabe sana may social life pa ako nito. Pano na ang mga films na pinapangarap kong mapanood sa movie house. Wahhh... wala na atang pag-asa...

Sophie na ako!

2006-06-17T19:03:00.000+08:00

I haven't posted for a week now. My schedule's just too tight, I can't even watch TV late at night (well, there's nothing to watch anyway).

Okay, so let me just make a summary of my first week as a Sophie.

GEOG 1
I crammed on my way to school. It's a 7:00 class so I really have to wake up early. Since its my first time to have a class this early, I really had a hard time.

I planned to change the schedule of this subject but failed. I guess I just have to stick with it. That means morning discipline for me.

J 101
My most anticipated class. I really am thankful that I got a slot in Prof. Luis Teodoro's class. He's the former dean of CMC, so he's kinda old (the new dean is Ma'am Pernia from CRes). But I love his class. He tells stories which are sometimes far from the main topic. He'll finish 10 minutes later and ask us why he's been discussing all those things. He is so funny and so cute. You'll want him as your lolo. :]

Blockies: Reg, Raine, Kay, and Madel

FILM 10
No sign of Ma'am Cantor.

Blockies: Reg, Raine, Baj and Angelo

CRes 101
This is it, my first CRes subject ever! Am I ready? I'm still thinking about it. Our Prof. is Ma'am Umali. Well, I don't really have anything to say about her. She dismissed us early after finishing her introduction to the course.

Blockies: This class is exclusive to CRes students so Block K3 is complete.

PE2 Weight Training
Caces... Caces... Caces...
Well, what can I say about her? (yikes, parang sa testimonials)

I am sure you have heard accounts of how strict she is as an instructor. Well she really is strict. But somehow, in her manner of speaking, I can sense some kindness in her. Well, I don't knowif I was just too amiable-looking at that time so everything seemed pretty to me. Well honestly, I think it did.

Anyway, she told us that we have until Monday to decide whether we will continue our PE under her. So Raine and I tried our luck in Streetdance. Sadly, Jerome didn't take us in coz his class is full already. Guess we'll just have to try Sportclimbing on Monday. I wish we will succeed.

Blocky: Raine

Physics 10
My Physics instructor doesn't have a Ph.D. unlike the other lecturers. I think it's okay considering the fact that because some of them are "doctors" already, they might give difficult exams. an I wish Arciaga won't.

Well Arciaga, a graduate at UP has this very straight hair like that of shampoo commercial models. I can't help but think that, "dinaig pa ako ng lolo mo." :]

I already made a friendly friend. Her name's Lariza, a junior BS Psych student.

COMM 140
We had a change of profs--from Guioguio to David.

Ms. Clarissa David is an Assistant Prof at UP. She had her Masters at UPD and went to the States for her Ph.D.Well she's pretty. I wish she's cool enough naman. Unlike those other Ph.D. prof na aloof right?!

Blockies: Angelo, Reg, Raine, Sheila, Baj, Chola, KC, Madel, and Toni

Okay, so there's my first week. Got lots of readings for the coming week. I already met some of the UPD passers from Monsay. Most of them from Eng'g. Goodluck to all of you. Dont' be afraid to explore the campus, make some friends and enjoy your UP life okay? Am sure it'll be one heck of an experience like what happend to mine. :]

ano daw?! saan na?!

It's the 108th celebration of Independence Day. As usual, there were programs held at various key spots in the country commemorating the said event.

I didn't bother watching the celebration at Quirino Grand Stand with the president. So at least, I was spared of her crappy speech of politicking.

So for some time, my day was doing fine. Not until I heard this news from the radio that this freaking power-grabber Governor from Cavite suggests or plans to make Kawit, Cavite the Historic Capital of the country. Okay, that's bullshit!

First of all, to Maliksi who calls himself the Governor and is so hungry with power he even uses his constituents to make a fool of themselves and "protect" the Municipal Hall, you are so pathetic. Get a life you old man. The place [Cavite] is not yours so stop acting as if you are the sole person for the positon who can run that damn government.

Before I continue, let me first stress that I am not angry with Cavitenos because of their stupid Governor. But I do blame them, and pity them at the same time, for having let a person like Maliksi be their Governor.

Okay so let me state the reasons why I think its a stupid idea making Cavite the Historic Capital thing.

I am really grateful for the field trip we did in my Kas 1 class. I became aware of what really happened to the history of the Philippines, how it became perverted and how some were put to the pedastal when in fact, they didn't do anything worthy at all.

So during this field trip, they (people who must not be named) told us that Emilio Aguinaldo was a traitor. Not only did he negotiated and gave in to the proposals of Spain in exchange of a huge sum of money [went to HongKong], he also re-entered the "limelight" when the proclamation of our independence was fast approaching and declared himself the man for the whole thing. Thus, he became our first 'president.'

They also said that Aguinaldo's thirst for power made him and his team to kill Bonofacio so that they could get him out of their way. It was said that they chopped Bonifacio's body and buried it somewhere in the mountains.

How cruel right?!

Even if our independence was proclaimed at Cavite, it is still not reasonable enough that the place be named the historic capital. There are better places in our country suitable for that name. Let us not let ourselves be blinded by not-so factual events of the past and by people who are so dying to have the power they have dreamt all their lives. Please, let us be reasonable enough.

Got my hair done the nearest salon for that "new attitude thing" for the coming sem. It took me some time to decide whether to relax my hair or just color it or just that simple highlights on it. Finally, i have decided to just highlight my hair. First, because it's cheaper and second, because I just want to hide or make an illusion of my white hair being actually brownish or golden.

So here's the before and after; just like what TV shows (like Ambush Makeover) show us at the end of the makeover. Note that the pictures were taken separately.

BEFORE

AFTER

Now tell me, how do I look?!

back to school na naman ang drama ng nation. at siyempre pahuhuli ba sa pagmamaganda ang alma mater kong ramon magsaysay high school espana? of course not.

the OIC ng DepEd went to various schools in metro manila. and she and her group happened to pass by my former hs. how sarcastic pa ang reporter ng GMA 7 na nagsabing "isa itong surprise visit pero may nakahandang banda na nag-welcome sa guests" or some thing like that. basta ang essence gets niyo naman na di ba?

medyo proud naman ako habang pinapakita ang ilang footage ng old school kasi infairness naman, compared sa ibang school malinis at maayos talaga siyang tignan. anyway, ganoon naman talaga ang admin doon eh, once na may bisita, todo linis.

at syempre nagmaganda rin ang principal na si christy. yup, iyon lang ang tawag namin sa kanya. pero syempre samin-samin lang iyon. ganyan kami kabalahura ng mga classmates ko. ayon sabi niya wala naman daw classroon shortage (90% true na rin), at okay naman ang first day ekek...

anyway enrolment na sa wednesday. hahaha can't wait. excited na rin sa PE ko which is weight training. but wait there's more: rpof ko si caces. classmates din kami ni raine. wow! adventure ito!!!

2006-06-04T22:43:00.000+08:00

Ang taray ba?! hahaha... just edited this photo using Photoshop. This picture was taken during our internship at PRRM. Mga moments na walang magawa kaya ayan nagpicturan na lang.

For the other pictures during our organized photo shoot, check the link (my photos) sa sidebar ko. Enjoy.

I always aspire to be a good writer. Someone whose works will not make people feel bored; someone who has a knack at creative imagery; someone who is exemplary when it comes to grammar. That is why I try as much as I could to improve whatever there is to improve with my writing. I read books belonging to different genres to widen my horizon. I even read how-to-write books like the Element of Style to practice my grammar. And I blog once in a while to express my feelings and be creative as much as possible.

But somehow, my self fails me.

I do not know if it is because I lack the skills or even the will to write. Its just sad to think that when you really want something, the first person who is supposed to back you up can also be the first person who will fail you.

And that person is yourself.

2006-05-27T22:34:00.000+08:00

My and my sister's world turned upside-down after seeing GMA 7's teaser with Takuya Kimura. After series from Korea, China, Taiwan and some Caucasian countries have invaded our land, now GMA brings our (my sister and I) much loved J-Doramas in the country.

We felt a mix of joy and anger (mostly the latter on my sister's part) for we can now watch it on TV. Although we have already seen some of Takuya's dramas, we would want to see them all over again including the ones we haven't got copies of yet. GMA plans to show Goodluck first. But J-Doramas are partly different from that of other Asianovelas. They only have around 10-12 episodes and some are not even love stories, as what most of us are used to.

Anyway. what makes my sister angry is that everyone, even the "jologs and katulong," would drool over Takuya Kimura. "Its the end of a freaking era" was all she can say after we have seen the teaser.

I guess she'll just have to share her obsession with Kimura to the bakya people. Mwahahaha...

*One of my favorite J-Dorama is Beautiful Life. It has a very good plot. GMA got the rights to show it so watch out for it soon. Sassy Belladonna recommends it to you.

2006-05-23T23:38:00.000+08:00

ang topic ng post na ito ay ang naganap na candlelight memorial nung sunday. kaming mga virus ay napag-desisyunan na magsuot ng black at mag-cap (kaso nakalimutan ko iyong huli).

anyway sa tapat ng quezon city hall ginanap iyong event. okay naman ang venue, ang problema nga lang ay ang kaunti lang ng dumating. karamihan ay mga peer educator at mga hakot nila. andun din xempre ang staff ng PRRM. at ang pinaka-shocking sa lahat for me-- UST interns.

happy naman kaming tatlo nila raine at may dumating na media at pati iyong mga ibang guest ay nakarating din. am not sure lang kung may mga donation sila.

so a little past six nagstart na iyong program. after that, may concert. kami ang in-charge sa pamimigay ng food. at dito sa portion na ito medyo nag-umpisa na akong ma-disappoint. hindi naman sa pamimigay ng food kundi sa mga nakita at narinig ko.

medyo na-cornihan ako sa mga banda. although i respect naman their music. its just that hindi ko sila feel. actually hindi naman din talaga ako mahilig sa sobrang ingay na mga ganon eh.

as i expected mga jologs siyempre ang madlang mga kabataang andoon. my god feeling ba nila ang cool ng itsura nila. duh?! ayoko talaga sa ganoong mga tao. ewww...

okay enough of those things. actually ang isa rin naman sa ipinunta namin doon ay iyong ka-block namin, si baj. may banda kasi iyong brother niya so tumugtog sila. xempre sabi ko na nga ba hindi makaka-relate ang mga jologs na audience dahil medyo iyong mga kinanta nila ay sa foreign artists. sad part lang, hanggang third song lang ako nung performance nila. medyo late na kasi at i had to go home na.

------

first time namin nila jack at raine na makapunta sa quezon city circle. isang malaking achievement. yipee...

bye bye PRRM

2006-05-20T21:34:00.000+08:00

yesterday was our final day as interns in PRRM.

i can say that the whole experience was fun, meaningful and irritating at the same time. it was fun because i had wonderful bonding moment with my blockmates and we learned a lot from the IEC materials scattered in the office. i also had fun doing some of the office work and all those things we talked about. the whole thing was also meaningful because I learned a lot and i realized that i am so lucky to be where i am now. I got to see other people's situation which made me think that i should be grateful for everything i have. and as i said, it was sometimes irritating because of some errands which were given at the wrong time. like those instances i have mentioned in my previous entries.

although we have completed our requirement of 50 hours (actually i did more than that), i am still looking forward to the fruit of our hardwork for the last couple of weeks-- the candlelight memorial on sunday. although i am not expecting that much from it-- to be a well attended activity (though i hope so), the attendance of the invited "dignitaries" and the pour of donations-- i am still excited to be there and witness that 'solemn' event.

also, i am so thankful that i ended up in a NGO rather than do some work under the super hot sun. at least we worked inside an air-conditioned building, had the freedom to use the computer, play foul eggs and even checked on our friendster accounts (hahaha) and were given these sumptuous food every once in a while. yipee...

so there, it is finished. i can now go back to my usual do-do's during summer breaks and watch, sleep, and eat as much as i wanted. the only problem now is the stock of books. but in the end, i am relieved. *winks*

of course what better way to end the whole internship is to capture that ever fresh smiles in a group pic. here is the whole sangka-UPhan with Miss Angela Bado, HR of PRRM. she's the one wearing black with the white lining. i am wearing a red shirt (second row please) *grins*. ain't i pretty?! hahahaha....

okay enough of this nonsense. i'll be posting the details on the candlelighting memorial sometime next week. it depends on how much it has made an impact on me. lol.

2006-05-16T21:57:00.000+08:00

we went to quezon city hall for the second time doing some errands for PRRM. this time we got to explore the building and visit some of the councilors' the office. good thing this time the guards new where the offices are located. because the last time we went there, they were clueless if where the office of QCSAC is.

the city hall of quezon city is way better than that of manila. of course, ive been to manila city hall a couple of times and the atmosphere there was just too ugly.

okay going back, the real point of this post is our encounter with the secretary Aiko melendez-JICKAIN (yes her nameplate was already changed). okay his a man. but the funny thing was that his shirt was unbuttoned (of course only the first one) leaving his chest bare with hair all over it (curly hair to be precise). the look of sergio from the telenovela marimar immediately flashed into my mind. at that moment, i was trying hard not to laugh. and i succeded at first. but what made my patitimpi even harder was when i heard him speak. his 's' was pronounced as 'z,' like "it'z like thiz."

when we went out of the office, we just laugh it all out. raine was thinking the same thing too. hahaha... oh well that was one hell of an experience.

PS: check out Aiko's picture in the city hall. of course she's fat but her stare and pose was so seducing it makes you laugh. bwahahaha...

cottony-winter in UP.

it was so fascinating. the sight of thousands of white fluffy stuff all over the grounds of UP. pick it up and you will see a seed in the middle. a cotton indeed! from the cotton tree. amazing. spectacular. fabulous. i love it.

but the rain started invading the once fairytale-like land. the fluffy cotton balls were washed away. all soaked in the madness of the sky. my fantasies are over.

now, the earth is wet. no fluffy cotton balls in sight. i just have to wait for another year for the fairytale-like land to come back.

(this picture was taken some time in April using Jack's sister's phone. it took him some time to upload it and mail it to me. anyway, it's a bit late for to appreciate the beauty of the grounds around AS. rainy days make me sick. not being able to come out in my slippers. and it destroyed all the cotton balls. argh... FYI: i just found out that a cotton tree exists. am totally amazed.)

Books are love!

2006-05-13T14:05:00.000+08:00

Just finished three books over the past two weeks. I've been craving for varieties of books to indulge on this vacation. or probably even at the start of classes.

Anyway, borrowed the next two books from Regine, who is a Gaiman fan. Am not sure though.

=STARDUST=
A beautiful love story I must say. Well it made me dream of fairy tales once more. hehehe...

I wish someone would catch me a falling star. Aww... I am falling for it again...

=CORALINE=
A children's book. But I guess anybody can still read it. A bit imagination-opener (whoa, where did I get that term!?!)

Just read it. Its nice. A bestseller.

=STAINLESS LONGGANISA=

Bob Ong is back. Its is fifth book. this time I didn't enjoy reading it at all. It was more of a blog-- a compilation of his online entries.

good thing i didn't waste my money for some *--*. Borrowed it from Jack, who happen to have a complete set of Bob Ong's "masterpieces."

*****
Oh yeah, if it's not too much to ask, if you (yes you, the one avidly reading my blog) have any books that you think or is really worth reading, can i borrow it?!

To those who are kind enough, I found this book in NBS. its entitled In Lucia's Eyes by Arthur Japin. Can you give me a copy?! hahaha... just think of it as a donation or a gift for the coming holidays or even for my nth birthday. *grins*

**here's the link if you ever you are interested with the book. it has the blurb and the cover, the same as the one i saw in NBS. go ahead... **

uuwi na ba kayo?
..no reply..
gusto niyo na bang umuwi?
..no reply..
ayaw pa ba kayong pauwiin?
..no reply..

ito ang mga tanong sa amin ni kuya noriel. Ang in-charge kina Angelo, Baj and Sheila. How I wish na sana ganoon dun ka-caring ang mga in-charge sa amin.

We are not employees there. But we stay there as if we are being paid for all our services. Damn that service to the nation thing! We would arrive at the office around 10am and leave past 6 in the afternoon or should i say evening.

We are so dreading to go home yet tons of work are coming. There was this time when we were ready to leave. Actually I was already carrying my bag. Our handler went to us and asked us if we were leaving. I replied a quick YES to get off the job. Luckily it worked. Although he left us with a job to do the foloowing morning which i guess just popped out from his head the moment he saw the three of us.

On the way home, Raine and I remembered our encounter with the ever caring Kuya Noriel. We should have said:

uuwi na ba kayo?
NO.
gusto niyo na bang umuwi?
YES!
ayaw pa ba kayong pauwiin?
HELL YES!

2006-05-09T22:07:00.000+08:00

isang unforgetable experience ito. ang daming nakakaloka, nakakatuwa at eye-opening events.

for the nth time, naka-uniform na naman kami. all white ang drama. parehas pa kami ng shirt ni reg -- our UP shirt na binili namin in time for the cheerleading competition. saya!!!

okay, we went to cubao to document a FGD. so its our first time so we really have no clue. I just brought my mp3 player as a recorder so that hindi naman kami ma-lost sa bilis ng discussion. but we forgot to bring a camera.

let me frist describe the location. well its in cubao so expected na sobrang liit at dikit dikit ang mga bahay. Pumasok kami sa isang maliit na eskinita then underground (believe it or not, hindi ka-level ng lupa ang bahay). So ayun, sumambulat ang isang maliit na house na mas malaki lang ng kaunti sa room ko ngayon.

It was Ate Yda's house. Ung volunteer-slash-staff sa PRRM. she really does get into my nerves sometimes. with all the "paki naman po" stuff.

Moving on, we just sat sa floor then naka-circle na ang mga peer educators (PE). So start na. Ang topic ay tungkol sa HIV/AIDS. Siyempre ano pa nga ba?! Sa totoo lang kapag tinignan mo iyong mga peer ed, parang hindi kapani-paniwalang peer ed sila. They're not even serious during the whole FGD. Some of them were laughing. Some did not participate. Parang nagblu-bluff lang as reg said. Actually magkakamag-anak lang nga rin sila eh. Siguro dahil sa monthly allowance kaya napapayag silang mag PE.

Pero not all of them naman ay "useless". Iyong iba very truthful naman (i think so) sa pagsagot. Iyong isa nga kinuwento talaga mismo ang experience niya. With anal sex and condom use and everything. Kapag nansoon ka talaga, mawawarla ka. Siyempre hindi naman kami illiterate sa ganoong topic pero iba pa rin kapag sobrang straight to the point ang kausap mo.

Okay let's not elaborate on the ever-so boring discussion (due to lack of participation). We went to gateway after cause Reg is gonna meet with Ron. Okay don't ask questions about who is who. So there, gateway. Ate at food express and talked and talked and talked endlessly about everything that makes us funny. Had a good time.

Hay...

***********

Have eaten lots of fast food today. First, Jack brought me lunch. Chow fan. Next, we ate at Gateway. Frosty. Lastly, it's my sister's birthday. She's already *toot* (she might kill me if i say it). WE had KFC chicken for dinner at home. Actually it was good i remembered that today's her birthday. I planned to order KFC chicken meal when we were in G8way.

2006-05-08T22:56:00.000+08:00

It's a wacky day. Had fun while working. Discovered a lot of things and been really busy with all the office work. *sigh*

Anyway here's the "rundown":

*aside from doing TONS of paper work, we were also asked to make a lay-out (wow! graphic artists?!!) for a fan they're planning to give the participants.

**during our free time (like 30 mins), we read manuals (later we named it "Bibliya ni Raine") or anything about HIV/AIDS. honestly, had fun reading about condoms (chapter 4). wahahah... it was written in Filipino so the terms used were really funny. there were some Filipino slang translations of some terms associated with sex. That what the funniest part of all... langit... paraiso... tagumpay!!! have any clue what it meant in english?! *lol*

***Angelo liked my hair. that's a first i guess. Nobody has ever told me my hair looks good. just now. I, myself am not too happy with my hair either. and I blame mama for it. If it wasn't for her genes passed on to me, argh... I would have been a super model now. hahahaha... Anyway, Angelo said my hair is different from the "treated-slash-ordinary" hair of other girls which make it look cute or something like that. Anyway, thanks friend. Don't worry, one of these days I will come to class without my ponytail. Promise. Just wait... (gathering all the strength until that day comes) *winks*

sunrise... sunset...

2006-05-05T21:33:00.000+08:00

Overtime na naman kami as usual. Pero ang sad thing pa eh dahil pagod ka na nga sa dami ng pinapagawa sa iyo, iyong kakainin mo pa ay hindi masarap.

Sabihin ng maarte ako or something pero hindi talaga masarap iyong food namin kanina ni Reg. Parehas kasi kami ng kinain. Iyong rice lasang nasa mahiwagang baul at binulok doon ng panahon. Iyong ulam naman ay sobrang kulang sa lasa. Pero beggars can't be choosers nga di ba?! so tiniis na lang namin ang pasakit na hatid ng bawat pagnguya at paglunok ng aming mga pagkain. Yikes and drama!!!

Kailang kaya kami makakauwi na hindi pa lumulubog ang araw?! Sana maranasan naman namin iyon.

question lang.

2006-05-04T21:36:00.000+08:00

Phone-in question: totoo bang lalaki si tweety at girl si eeyore?

Ito ang topic namin ni raine. Sa tanang buhay ko ay ngayon lang ako nakakilala ng mahilig din kay Eeyore. At sobra kaming nagbunyi sa natuklasan naming ito. Parehas din kaming may-ayaw kay tweety for some reason.

So kung alam niyo ang sagot sa tanong ko just type LUCHA [=space=] SAGOT MO [=space=] NAME MO at i-send sa cell number ko. Kung hindi mo alam, too bad, hindi mo maipaaalam sa akin ang sagot. bow.

another busy day

2006-05-03T22:11:00.000+08:00

Day 2 na ng office work namin. After lunch na kami nagstart. At kita mo nga naman, wala pa kaming gagawin, so nagpicturan na lang muna kami nila Anjo (formerly known as Angelo).

Kumain kami ng Churros ni Raine. Infrairness, ngayon medyo na-appreciate ko na siya. Before kasi nung kumain kami ni Jack, hindi namin na-ubos dahil nakakaumay.

Anyway medyo naging busy na kami. We (ang magagagandang magkakagrupo na sila LUCHA, REG at RAINE) went to Quezon City Hall for a resolution na pagbabasehan ng isa pang resolution na binabalak i-submit sa Manila. How nice di ba?!

Okay, here's the issue with the resolution: a certain SK in Tondo or Quiapo are suppose to come up with a resolution regarding HIV/AIDS Education in their respective areas. But the thing is, one of our handlers, who is a barangay captain told us to do the resolution instead. He argued na hindi naman alam ng mga SK na gawin iyon. Di ba ayos? from the BC pa mismo nagmula ang ganoong ideology. Kainis!!!

And because we're slaves there, we have no choice. So ginawa nga namin iyong resolution even if sobrang hirap niya. At hindi naman din medyo demanding di ba, tomorrow kelangan meron nang na draft na resolution. Kaasar talaga!!!

What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.
--Jane Austen

As in its super hot! Super!

Today's our orientation at the PRRM or Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement where we will be spending the next two weeks for our CWTS2 (some office work and research). Okay, I know the sound of "rural" may seem like areas where there's no electricity or far flung areas talaga. So are we suppose to spend our time there? The answer is no. Although we hoped na sana nga.

Anyway, ayun nga, today's the orientation. Two in the afternoon. I met with Raine sa SM para sabay na pumunta sa office ng PRRM. Okay, so tanghaling tapat di ba?! Sobrang init. As in sa jeep pa lang papuntang Araneta Ave. siksikan na, ang init pa ng hangin. Then we rode another jeepnet na dumadaan sa Quezon Ave. Shucks, ten years yung driver maghintay ng pasahero. Sobrang init pa sa side namin.

Nasa Pantranco pa lang kami when we saw the building with the big CAPITOL MEDICAL CENTER. So dahil excited, bumababa na agad kami. Gosh! the footbridge na dapat bababaan namin was a block away. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk under the friggin' sun. At last, we reached the building. The "red brick walled building" Kay described.

Of course, our pink uniform (sa hindi sinasadyang pagkakataon ay parehas kaming naka-pink) ay sobrang parang hindi na fresh. Yikes, tama ba ang description ko?! Wakekek... So haggard.

Wow! early birds kami. So we had a tour of the building first. On our own. First sa penthouse. Doon kasi ang cafeteria. Sossy and cafe nila ha, may billiards table ang drums. Then we went sa terrace thing. Si Raine na-excite nang makita ang Amoranto, swimming daw kami. As if marunong ako?! Then bago bumaba, we saw this huge aquarium na may 5 little gold fishes. Proportion di ba?! Well pagbigyan na, it was in memory naman daw fo Ate Rose. Yikes, katakot naman di ba?!

Fourth Floor (pababa ang emote namin, using the stairs na), dito ang pinaka-office ng PRRM. Siyempre after the orientation na lang namin nalaman iyon. Then third floor. Sosyal, may employee's gym. Kaya okay talaga sa mga NGO eh.

Sa second floor nakita na namin sila. Okay, naka-pink din sika Kay and Baj. Saya!!! So we gathered sa isa sa mga Conference Room nila. Wait, naka-pink din si Reg. May uniform talaga kami.

Ayun, we were given some background about the Organization and if what types of work ang gagawin namin. Eto na ang exciting part.

Obvious na sabik kami sa work outside Manila. As in sa rural areas nga. But the sad thing, five lang ang kukunin. So draw lots na lang. Kaya hindi an rin namin tinuloy nila Reg and Raine. We chose the project about HIV/AIDS. We are into some media related work. We will be part of the team that will prapare for a Candle Lighting/Concert Event on May 21. Coolness huh?!

So after the orientation, we got to meet our "bosses." There's still no final plan for the event. But they gave us some ideas of how it was during the previous years. And I hope we'll be able to do those things he said: like inviting media people/bands/artists, doing advisories, promotions, newsletters, etc. Whaaa... I can't wait!!!

So that's it. Although sira talaga ang beauty namin ni Raine sa pagpunta sa PRRM, medyo napalitan naman ng excitement after dahil "parang" sobrang fun talaga ng assignment namin.

Hindi naman nila masyadong kinarir ang pagaaral di ba?! If you'll notice most of them came from MBB. I am so not worthy!!! (with bowing effects) I wonder if how's their social life?! I am sure naman kahit papaano they're part of an org. But how about the night life, gimmicks and stuff?! Hmmm...

Anyway speaking of graduations, I went to my sister's graduation at the UP Film Institute. nakakatuwa naman ang mga taga-LAW, yung iba dala ang asawa, anak, lolo, lola at kung sinu-sino pang relatives. Proud!!!

At siyempre hindi ko rin napigilan ang sarili ko na mang-okray ng mga damit ng mga proud parents. Like I was so fortunate na nakatabi ko si Bobby Dacer ala Tito Sotto look-alike. As in naka-all white ang lolo mo except for the shoes. Then hawig din ni Tito Sen. Kaloka na nakakatawa!!! Kung alam niyo lang anu na mga pinaggagawa ko para makuhaan siya ng picture. Hahaha...

Iyong iba naman parang sagala ang pupuntahan. Todo make-up at naka-gown pa. Ponkan na ponkan pa ung isa. Naku try niyo rin umatend nga mga gatherings na kung saan ang mga parents ay sobrang mag-aayos, matatawa kayo sa finished product ng itsura nila.

Watch out for us 'cause we'll make it big someday!

happy birthday!

I've been blogging using blogger for a year now. Happy birthday to my blog!

I used to blog using Xanga but decided to change because of my sister. She told me its easier. Quite true. Anyway, over the past year I was so happy with my blog. I have documented my pre-college (all the registration and stuff) and my college life itself.

I'm looking forward to another year in blogger!

dreams

2006-04-28T22:00:00.000+08:00

What will I be after I graduate?

This may come out of topic with regards to the things I have been talking about recently. It may sound childish or the like because the question is often asked from a kid.

This topic just crossed my mind after the talk at the CMC Audi. It was our last session for CWTS 1 because next week we are into fieldwork. Oh I can't wait! Going back, I just asked this question to myself after hearing the experiences of some Communication Research graduates. They are very successful in their chosen line of work and I envy them.

Some people end up taking a job that has never even crossed their minds that they will be doing it someday. And I don't wanna be like them. I didn’t study just to end up in some job I didn’t specialize in. That's like wasting my UP education. I’d rather get a low pay than end up somewhere I am not suppose to be in.

I may seem pessimistic and at the same time you may think that I think highly of myself. But that is what I feel. Sorry to say but I really look down on those taking a six-month course and apply for a job abroad after. I don’t even like nursing. But still that’s reality and that’s exactly what is happening now. I can’t change it on my own.

Talking about careers, when I was little I wanted to become a teacher. Maybe it's because my mom's side is a family of teachers -- from my great grandfather up to my cousins up to now. I remember when during my childhood, I have this mini blackboard and I used to gather all my stuff toys or even sometimes my "imaginary friends" and teach them. I would check their assignments and stuff. This is what my brother uses to tease me today.

But then I got tired of being a teacher so I shifter to becoming a Flight Stewardess. I was encouraged because of the high pay and for the reason that they travel a lot. Part of this dream of mine was also because of my dad. He used to travel a lot going to one conference to another here and outside the country. Whenever I see his pictures and hear all his stories I become envious. So back then, I decided that I WANT to be a stewardess.

But there was a problem. Coming from a small family (small as in height), they told me that I will have a problem when it comes to the height requirement. Another problem was that my teeth were in disarray. Due to an accident, I lost my two front teeth and were replaced by two bigger ones. This gave the other teeth a smaller space to grow in. So I ended up discarding this way too high dream of mine.

My third dream job was to be a news anchor or a broadcast journalist. Actually it still comes to my mind especially now that I am in Mass Comm. I was so high with this dream especially when I was in high school and when I became part of the school’s organ. But it somehow lessened when I landed in Comm Res.

But I guess it's a blessing in disguise that I am now in CRes. Not only is the course flexible to any kind of job like research, analysis, project plans, government, arts, etc.

So as of now I want to have a job wherein I can use all the things I have learn and will be learning in CRes. I don't wanna waste all those time I spent in school. But of course what matters is that I enjoy what I am doing. Maybe the pay just comes in second place when you know that you love what you do and learn from it as well.

So there, that's some contemplation for me. Thanks to that talk this morning I learned that what is best is that you have passion for anything you want to do.

miss stupid is out

2006-04-28T19:32:00.000+08:00

Kellie Pickler is out.

This is my first time to say something about American Idol. I have been watching it ever since this season started. I don't know why it only crossed my mind only now. Maybe because I was pleased to know Pickler got voted out.

So, at last, that stupid girl is out. How come America realized how pathetic she is just now?! But what matters is that she is gone so I won't hear her stupide comments anymore.

As for the five remaining contestants, well I think they deserve to be where they are now. My bet is Elliot, but I am afraid he will not last in the competition. Either its him or Paris who will be kicked out next week. I am not saying he is not good. As a matter of fact he has a very vocals, its just that I think he will not get enough votes to compete with the others. But I still hope though that he will win.

Paris?! I don't think she will win. As I have said, not enough votes and in the past weeks she's included in the bottom three.

As for Taylor, I am not really sure. He has his group Soul Patrol. But I don't think if their votes will be enough to make him stay in the competition.

So my predicted top two finalists are Katharine and Chris. Their vocals are okay and their performances are good. And this week they got the most number of votes. I think people love them. In Ellen de Generez Show, when they talk about AI, the guests' pick is always Kath. So there, I am so excited who will make it to the finals.

This week the idols performed the classics. During Kat's performance, she had a wardrobe malfunction and her panty was seen. Here is the pic...

10 UNWRITTEN RULES OF FRIENDSTER

2006-04-27T19:02:00.000+08:00

the following are the rules of friendster. got it from a friend and i find it funny. well most of it are true, but of course there are some which are sarcastic or a bit exaggerated. but well thats whats make it funnier. i guess some of you can relate to it. either you do it yourself or you find it quite true. okay so enjoy...

"10 UNWRITTEN RULES OF FRIENDSTER"

1. To the people who have like more than 500 friend's, are you serious? Nobody in this universe has that many friends...you're stupid. Go kill yourself.

quite true. and of course an acquaintance is different from a friend. but well i have some myself but I don't have that amount of friends-slash-acquaintance in my account. its not that i am not friendly or anything, well i just don't feel welcoming all the people i know into my life, or my account that is.

2. If you're ugly stop acting like you don't know it. The captions under you picture that says "top model pose" doesn't convince anybody. at least you can work on your personality.

indeed, i agree. and I hate it when ugly people use Adobe Photoshop on their pictures to improve it, well if its of help. Nyahaha...

3. Don't ever post pictures and say "omg im so ugly" because if you were, you wouldn't post them. please put away the rod and reel cause your just fishin for compliments.

or better yet just end your life if you think you're ugly. nobody wants you on alive anyway...

4. Nobody cares about threats over the internet. Don't try to act hard with the keyboard...that's so sad. unless you actually physically beat someone with the keyboard. then thats ironically hilarious.

i have read cases of this in the friendster bulletin board where a gay was so mad at this person he used the message board to threat that 'person' with nonesense. its actually funny if you have been able to read it. anyway i deleted that gay from my friends so that no more flooding in the BB.

5. If all your pictures look the same...don't post them all! Please put some variety in your pics. Nobody wants to see your face 8 different ways. I don't care if its inverted, black and white, or faded out. a face is a face is a face

OMG, like i know somebody who does this. and for this girl its not just 8 variations of her face wearing the same outfit with the same backgroun but actually there were more than 20. could you imagine that?! oh that freaking bitch!!!

6. Who really gives a rats ass if I don't accept you as a friend...MOVE ON. Don't send me another request or message asking "what's up?" I don't want you as a friend or I just don't care, that's what's up!

true... true... well I have rejected a couple of people. and there were also times when i would add them first but delete after some time when i found out that they're into flooding the BB with there stupid posts or when i don't feel them at all. that's life, move on okay!!!

7. LITTLE 10, 11, 12, 13+ years old who have friendster and LOOK LIKE SLUTS, go somewhere else because NOBODY wants you here except petaphiles, and is that what you want. to be raped? no you don't so RUN RUN FAST!!

well this thing is more applicable to those in the US. teens in our country are not as liberated as teens in western countries. although of course there are still some, but their number is too small for us to even care about them. right?!

8. No one is really going to die in 6 days or have bad relationships for 5 years if they don't pass your bulletin on. so stop saying that!

i hate this mails or even BB posts about yahoo or friendster shutting down and oone has to pass it around so as to avoid losing his/her account. well i don't do them anyway so its really not a big deal for me. Maybe whats irritating is when I receive freaking messages asking me to do stupid things.

9. If you have decided to read this, You are a true Friendster Friend. Real friends read their bulletins.

not quite. I don't frequent the FBB but i know I am a true friend.

10. It serves to eliminate people who are desperately trying to add "friends" like it's a popularity contest in high school. Good riddance!

yeah the adding of friends thing has been a contest or something in my high school. well of course not from our class. but those in the 'must not be named' sections. let us spare them for their foolishness okay?!

another thing is that some create multiple accounts but have the same set of friends. like whats the use?! freako!!!

spellbound

2006-04-26T22:05:00.000+08:00

what can i say, i was enthralled.

really it was sooo nice. i just can't wait to know what will happen next. i managed to finsih reading the whole book in a couple of days considering that I have classes everyday and that I have to wake up early because I work like a sloth.

anyway, it was really nice. thanks to my blockmate angelo (he's the owner of the book *winks*). he's been so kind to let me have it until the end of summer classes. whee...

okay I posted the old and the new cover of the book. well it was published around 1997. they had a new cover out becasue of the film. so there, thats Zhang Ziyi.

o yeah you might hate me for saying this for it can change your views about the book. well its not a real memoir or theres really no Chiyo-chan/Sayuri. well its a novel and the names and the story were all invented by Golden.

anyway, its a nice read so go and get a copy ang indulge yourself until you go crazy in excitement of what will happen just like what happend to me.

the mannequins

2006-04-23T13:45:00.000+08:00

while browsing the net i happen to see the mizuma art gallery's website and got fascinated by the photos of Mario Ambrosius.

i think the shots were really artistic and the concept was one of a kind. wouldn't it be cool if all of us were mannequins? wee!!!

like if we don't want a part of our body we could just take it off and replace it with another. well i think this idea will suit the criminals right?! hehehe...

also, a person can be dismantled and put inside a trunk. well wouldn't that be handy?! i think the kidnappers would thank me for this idea. *winks*

the problem is, we will all be stiff. but well its nice to slap somebody as if you are hitting him with wood. that would really really hurt, won't it?!

of course what i said were all rubbish. but hey look at the pictures, they're so nice right?! i was captivated the first time i saw it. how i wish i could capture amazing shots like these...

i guess i have presented some scheming in my post. won't you criminals thank me for all my bright ideas?

the wrap up...

2006-04-22T21:14:00.000+08:00

ayan this time sure na start na ang classes. well enjoy ang first week ng CWTS. cool kasi sa class eh well represented ang lahat ng courses sa CMC so you get to have new acquaintances. tapos meron pang days na all the CWTS classes would gather sa CMC Audi para sa lecture. saya!!!

TUESDAY:
getting to know you day. well thank god saved naman kami sa "introduce yourself" infront of the class. sa group lang. pagnagkataon ano naman kayang mga ka-echosan ang sasabihin ko.

Prof. San Pascual introduced us to NSTP. So there very uplifting ang lesson kasi about nationalism. So there were articles na medyo negative and the same time positive na rin ang outlook sa Filipinos.

Get this, two weeks lang tatagal ang lecture kasi after we will be doing field work. saya!!!

WEDNESDAY:
well i got company sa LRT. saw Raine, dear blockmate, sa V. Mapa station so ayun may kachit-chatan ako sa LRT. We got our IDs countersigned na rin for the summer and went sa room. but, walang tao. well good thing we were told earlier. imagine if we just stayed there and waited for nothing. classes pala ay held sa Audi.

okay so more of the nationalism thing pa rin ang topic. at ang speaker was a CRes graduate and now a junior sa UP Law. Kakatuwa nga kasi days before, my sister asked me if i know some Emerson Banez na nagtuturo sa CMC. siyemrpe ang sabi ko never heard dahil isa pa alng naman ang nagiging klase ko sa college. so ayun siya pala ang speaker.

I think magiging lecturer ko din siya sa one of my classes sa maskom. he is teaching programming ang web design. wow excited. saya!!!

THURSDAY:
film showing day. well we watched "Munting Tinig." grabe sobrang ganda and nakaka-touch ang story. funny kasi whenever may thing na sad or exciting or something na kareact-react, maririnig mo yung iba na talaga nadala sa story. like may scene na namatay ung kid, parang lahat nung nakita na he was part dun sa mga napatay eh napa-awww...

well anu nga ab ang kinalaman ng movie sa NSTP?! service kasi ang topic namin so okay naman at naintindihan naman ang message ng film.

nakakainggit naman maglawn tennis. PE kasi un ni jack eh i went sa tennis court kasis sabay kami pauwi. saya!!!

FRIDAY:
balik CMC Audi kami. this time ang mga speakers eh yung mga president ng orgs sa CRes Dept. then isa pang graduating student na si Ivan Picazo. Kaya pala feeling ko familiar iyong name, sabi ko na nga ba i've read his name somewhere eh, sa PDI. I've the ung article niya sa young blood. and it turns out pala na uncle niya si Manolo.

Social service ang topic the whole day. Sayang if alam ko lang na pwede pala kahit experiences mo of service to others even nung high school i would have volunteered.

Kasi when we were asked the day before ang pagkakarinig ko eh currently doing social service, siyempre pass na ako doon so hindi na ako nagpaiwan.

Pero okay na rin na hindi ako nagpresenta kasi it would be too long na tsaka magugulat lang ang mga blockmates ko sa mga pinaggagagawa ko nung HS. Naku baka maiba na ang pagkakakilala nila sa akin, malay ba nila na member ako ng RCY. yikes!!! hehehe...

Nagpicturan din kami ng blockmates ko. they brought cameras. saya!!!

summer starts

2006-04-17T20:11:00.000+08:00

at last start na rin ang summer classes.

pero sad part, hindi pa for CMC. well it turned out that the CMC Administration would be implementing the four day work week. and that means office and class hours are from Tuesdays until Fridays only.

so sobrang excited pa naman ako for the first day. at last im back to school and my allowance is back too. at siyempre to look presentable din sa first day eh nagdamit naman ako ng matino-tino. bat sad to say, lose ang efforts dahil la nga class. ayun nagsi-datingan na kaming mga blockmates at nagchikahan na lang. Angelo, i must say, talbog ako sa pink polo ang purple umbrella mo!!!

anyway after our little talk, we all parted and nagpakalat-kalat na lang sa sangkamunduhan. i decided to get my classcards na rin. so i proceeded to FC. aba aba aba, when i got there, ang nagmamagandang sesinanda ay palakad-lakad at hawak-hawak ang mcfloat niya. so i said ill just accompany her sa math building dahil on the way din ang CS.

at i must say, talagang nagbunga ang efforts namin this sem. well hindi nagkakalayo ang mga GWA namin, WOW!!! CS tau sister!!! yehey!!! so ayun mga lokaloka ulit kami sa daan. sabi ko nga kay ses, ang hirap talagang maging star. kasi ang dami naming nakakasalubong na kakilala. kaway dito, hi doon, chika kaunti diyan...

nung hapon naman, Alpha was suppose to come then we will eat isaw. but unfortunately she didn't bother going anymore because CMC office is close din naman. so everything was moved tomorrow. well thats it, ang first day na hindi talaga first day ng summer classes...

the times...

2006-04-15T20:51:00.000+08:00

i miss the old days...

well its not that i am not enjoying my life now. its just that i miss my gal pals. of course they are the ones who know me better and we have a lot of things in common. i miss the times when we will all sit and talk about lots of things (especially other people's lives) and laugh until our sides ache (with matching to and fro movement of the torso). :)

summer here i come...

2006-04-11T22:05:00.000+08:00

Sa wakas ay enrolled na ako for summer. The only thing I have to do is to wait for the classes to start. Oh I can’t wait!!!

Naku akala ko pa nga hindi ako makakapag-enroll eh. Kasi si Ma’am Almond ang nag-iisang adviser sa department namin. Then when I let her check my form 5A, she was looking for the pre-advising form. Eh I wasn’t able na magpapre-advise. Pano ito?! Good thing Ate Vi said na pwede pa rin naming makuha ang CWTS even if you didn’t pre-advise. So lusot na ako doon, eh paano na sa enrollment for the first semester?! Naku, patay-patay ako pag nagkataon…

I’ve got all my grades na. Well mas okay naman ang results this time compared last sem. Pero hindi naman din ako ganun ka-excited na nakaabot ako sa cut-off ng mga CS. Kasi baka naman sobrang happy ko ngaun magpatiwakal na lang ako kapag next sem biglang nagbago na naman ang takbo ng mga pangyayarin…

i love happy endings...

2006-04-09T21:30:00.000+08:00

and they lived happily ever after...

i just finished watching pride and prejudice, not the movie but the series, and i just can't get over it. i really loved the story ever since i have read the book. it was kinda long and i had to consult MW once and a while but it never did and still never bore me.

anyway i watched the film with my sister and it was a bit different from the series, given that it has a limited length and some parts were not that important. but i still love it whatever is removed or change. well i am not a fan okay. *winks*

as for the series, it was of course very much like the book. i think the jennifer ehle, who played elizabeth bennet, is pretty. but the one who played jane, the elder sister and the one who was suppose to be prettier, was not that pretty (well for me) at all. her eyes were too big and she looks like a man. hehehe...

well im into marathons again. well its holy week, i've got nothing to do so why not burn the electricity up all night.

bitter?!

2006-04-08T17:48:00.000+08:00

hay naku until now i am still bitter because i wan't able to join my classmates' outing. of course it was really sad kasi i haven't seen them for almost a year. and this, sana, was the only time for me to mingle with them tapos hindi pa natuloy. sad di ba?!

dahil diyan ay kung anu-ano na lang ang naisip kong gawin. first, i cleaned (once more) my room. then kanina, my sister and i made lasanga. well not bad ang lasa, infairness, masarap talaga. medyo palpak nga lang iyong white sauce. dapat kasi mozarella ang cheese. but that's like expensive davah?! so we just put quickmelt cheese. but the sad part, the sauce didn't thicken.

pero all in all masarap naman ang aking first attempt to make lasagna. well ayan, practise time na ito. pero that is kung may funds. medyo costly kasi and paggawa. hehehe...

what have i been doing lately?!

2006-04-06T00:57:00.000+08:00

A week from now summer classes is going to start and I just can't wait for that to happen. Well its not that I love studying or anything the like but it’s just that I am so bored when I am at home. I guess I am not a home buddy after all. Besides I need to have my allowance back again and I miss eating UP food.

I am currently reading the compiled chronicles of narnia (I stopped reading Emma by Jane Austen because I was bored). Well I should be done with Narnia fast for my brother's going to return it soon. He told me to just read the parts I haven't read (I have read books 1.3. and 6 way back my elementary days). But I have forgotten all about them. So I’m back from the very beginning.

Well what else, as you can see my blog has a new look. I have uploaded a skin I got from the blogskins. And I have been posting more than once a day (well in some cases only -- when I’m very bored).

I am giving my room a new look too. I have sorted out those readings which will still be useful for the coming years and cleaned the screen on my window.

Memories of... what?!

2006-04-04T21:25:00.000+08:00

Here's a movie everyone, (of course, those who were interviewed to have watched it), described to be worthwhile watching and 'pang-international. But if they were to show this to other countries, well I guess they'll have to think again.

Okay, the concept of someone from the past communicating with someone in the present is nice. But for the information of everybody, it was not an original story produced by GMA Films.

Being the 'everyhting korean fan' that I am, I have watch countless movies from Korea and even from other Asian Countries. The story of Moments of Love was very much the same with some korean movies and even a hollywood movie shown a long time ago. this hollywood film I am talking about was entitled 'Somewhere in Time.'

The korean movies I have been talking about were 'Ditto' and 'Il Mare.' I'm not too sure but Kim Ha-neul and Yo Ji-tae starred in Ditto while the Jeon Ji-hyeon (from Sassy Girl) and Lee Jeong-jae were the lead cast in Il Mare. The only difference between the two was that in Ditto, they communicate through HAM Radio while in Il Mare through letters.

FYI: the movie Il Mare has a hollywood version with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. But I don't know what happened to it and why until now it's still not being shown. I have heard about this about a year ago and after that I haven't seen even a single promotion or whatsoever.

Another movie I have watched and which was actually shown here the movie of Ken Zhu of F4 and Gigi Leung, this time from Taiwan, entitled Sky of Love. Well pretty much the same storyline as Ditto.

Okay, so there they are. But as what I have read in the dailies, GMA Films admitted themselves that it wasn't an original story. This was after some of the write-ups which came out from several tabloids questioning GMA's claim that Moments was an extraordinary story. For more info about this article read the today's issue of PDI.

new look!

2006-04-04T13:28:00.000+08:00

I have been in front of the computer for some hours now. I really am getting obsessed changing the look of my blog. I really want to learn CSS or HTML to do the stuff myself and not surf the net for others' creations.

Well, I had a hard time adjusting the layout of some of the skins I got. Whatever I do, it won't change. now why is that?!

I think I gonna change the look of my blog again. I really do not like colorgul blogs and prefer dark ones instead. Not being gothic or something, I just want it plain so that the pictures I'll be posting will be emphasized, aight?!

they are back, and they're freaking hot!!!

2006-04-04T10:29:00.000+08:00

oh yes they are back. well, for a concert that is. Naku wishing naman ako na sana napanood ko di ba?! Sana bumalik ulit sila, damn, I miss that night when I watched there concert sa ULTRA. Wahhh... saya-saya ng buong venue, tilian ng tilian!!!

okay here are some pics I got from tsinoy.com. I just resized them para mag-fit sa text area of my blog. enjoy...

F4 FEVER

group pics

At ang dalawang favorite ko...

ZAIZAI and KEN

may nabasa rin ako sa tsinoy na nung time na nagtanggal ng shirt sina jerry, vic and vaness eh pinagtatanggal din nila si ken. kaso pa-emote ever pa ang lolo mo at ang ginawa eh pinakita lang yung braso niya. ay patatim...

ito namang pic na ito is vic with "yeon sang" of jewel in the palace. hindi ko na-copy yung name nung series na gagawin nila eh, pero sila ang gaganap.

pretending to be an artist

2006-04-02T20:34:00.000+08:00

maganda ba? hehe... well, nag-practice lang ng creative powers ko. Well for me nagandahan naman ako.

Pag wala kasi ako magawa or kapag trip ko lang nagdedesign ako ng mga old pics sa Adobe Photoshop. Medyo kaunti pa lang ang alam ko eh although ang tagal tagal ko na siyang ginagamit.

Itong flower nga palang ito ay ang Valentine's gift sa sa akin ni Jack (Siyempre iba pa ung b-day gift ano!). Ganda no?! Naku, mas maganda pa iyan sa personal. Kaso siyempre lantutay na iyan.

ayan ang itsura ng flowerness ko nung kabibigay lang sa akin. Isang malaking long stem na rose from I don't know where. Maybe holland, eh holland tulips kasi iyan eh. shunga!!! hehehe...

ang init!!!

2006-03-31T23:06:00.000+08:00

Grabe, summer na talaga. Pero ang weird ng panahaon, minsan umaaraw ng sobrang init na parang sinusunog ang balat mo. Minsan naman umuulan. Nakakainis tuloy lalo na kapag naka-tsinelas ka lang. Putik putik na ang feet mo. Pero beneficial din para mabalance naman ang tempreture.

Well ano ba ang latest sa akin lately. Naku, may balak na outing na naman ang aming klase nung HS. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa ako nakakapagpaalam sa papa ko kung pwede ba akong sumama. Kainis naman kasi eh, masyado binabantayan ang mga kilos ko. Feeling ko bilanggo ako. Kaazar!!!

Isa pang kinaiinis ko ay hindi ko ma-edit ung recent post ko. Kasi may mga misspelled then ayoko na na italicized ang ibang words. Basta gusto ko siyang palitan. Pero everytime na gagawin ko un eh may problem daw with the HTML code. Naku hindi naman kasi ako marunong ng HTML eh. Sobrang konti lang ang lam ko doon, nung nag-try lang akong gawin ung nasa manual ng kuya ko.

I wanna go swimming!!!
I want the summer classes to start already!!!
I wanna go out with my friends, go skating or sa Timezone na lang forever.
I wanna have that cookie monster!

chill... chill...

2006-03-31T20:45:00.000+08:00

isa na ata ito sa mga funny experiences ko. well, dahil tapos na ang exams ay napagdesisyunan namin ni jack na mag-ice skating. yipeee!!! first time ito. But we only had one hour to skate kasi iyon iyong nasa coupon na we got when we went to the grocery.

naku gusto ko na ngang magback-out eh, dapat bowling na lang kami. pero sige go na rin para ma-try ko naman.

naku pagtungtong pa lang sa rink sobrang kinakabahan na ako, ang dulas grabe. so ayun, one hour din akong forever nakahawak sa bars. buti pa si jack nagawa iyong goal niya na makapunta sa gitna ng rink at mahawakan iyong blue na post. kaso sa pagbalik niya sa first try, eh na-excite ata kasi akala successful siya, ayun nadulas dulas siya... bumagsak!!! pero nung second try ay nagwagi na siya.

matapos ang pagmamagaling namin sa skating rink eh diretso naman kami sa Timezone. Dahil limited na lang ang funds namin, hindi na namin na-try kunin ung Cookie Monster na stuff toy. Paano ba naman, mahirap na magrisk di ba?! Paano kugn sa first attempt eh hindi namin makuha, eh di patay patay na. kaya nagdance extreme (?) na lang ako at nag-basketball kami. kaso nakakahiya, sa sobrang lakas ng pagtira ko, napunta sa likod iyong bola.

Ito pa ang nakakainis, nung pauwi na kami, nakita na lang namin na nakuha na si cookie monster. huhuhu... nakuha nung babaeng adik sa timezone, ultimo care bears nga na meron naman sa toy section ng SM eh ayaw pakawalan hanggat hindi niya nakukuha.

Kaya nabuo ang aming motto: Mahirap Maging Mahirap!!!

Okay ayan ang kabuuan ng nakakaloka at haggard na araw ko. Wala pa diyan ang inis ko sa mga mapagmagandang staff ng isang office sa UP ha. nagtatanong ka ng maayos tapos pagtataasan ka ng boses. How bitchy!!!

when i became jocjoc botante...

2006-03-28T22:52:00.000+08:00

okay, i know its kinda late for me to be posting the pictures of my birthday party last feb. but who the hell cares. so here they are. well i don't know if the pictures would turn out right for i just reduced its size here. forgot to do it sa photoshop. might be a little pixellized or something, well who cares about the right terms anyway?!

Okay so here they are...

THE visitors. From left: mark, angie, jack, kenneth, karen, ron, ses, alpha, kim. (This pic was actually taken before they went home.)

WITH the celebrant. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without the goddess herself. hihi...

WACKY?! Anong epek naman ito kapatid?! ayan parang class picture may formal then may wacky. ayan, naglalabasan na ang tunay na nature ng mga bisita ko!

Ayan, nag-umpisa na silang maging-high. nakahawak na kasi ng mic eh. Hala, pili na ng song na kakantahin. kung pwede lang na tig-isa na ang mga ito ng TV para wala ng agawan.

Pero infairness nahihiya rin naman sila (pwede pala un?!). Si angie at karen kunwari pa, sabik namang kumanta. Hala, si ses ang saya pa rin kahit kawawala lang ng cellphone.

SECURED. Ayan, napasakamay na ng mga Bakawan ang magic sing. Sorry na lang kina ronel at no chance na pakantahin pa sila ng mga iyan.

YOU can do it!!! Pero talbog ang lahat kapag kumanta na si Kim. Walang makakatalo sa singing prowess niyan. Iba'ng level! kesehodang magsilabasan na ang mga ugat niya sa leeg. KEBER!

Ayan laos ang beauty ng mga beklas. Sige nood na lang kayo. Wait na lang na kumuha ng foodam si kim para maka-try na mag-sing.

Pa-min-ta! hala, kumanta naman kayo. Si mark wishing pa rin ma-contact ung phone ni ses.

PUWEDE pa-join?! O mega enter naman si ronel sa scene.

KAMI rin!!! Siyempre dapat kasama rin kami, kahit haggard na ang lahat.

PERO, walang tatalo kay Alpha (hehe... peace!) Kung sila Ses at Kim ang Bakawan sa Magic Sing, si Alpha ang ultimate na bakawan sa digi-cam. Parang siya nga ung may birthday eh. Daig pa ako...

ses and alpha,

kim and alpha,

buti may pampalubag-loob. Kami ni alpha.

Ayan, iyan ang nangyari sa birthday celebration ko nung feb 19. five days after my birthday. Siyempre baka hindi naman makarating ang mga ito nung mismong Valentine's Day, eh may kanya-kanyang date ang mga iyan eh. Di ba ses?!

Anyway, thank you sa mga nagpunta. Naghasik kayo ng lagim sa village namin. Hanggang ngayon hindi sila makatulog dahil bumabagabag sa kanilang isipan ang mga boses ninyo. Maya't mayang may nagbabato ng bote sa gate namin dahil sa inyo.

Chorva!!!

Salamat sa mga nagpunta at sa mga regalo niyo na sobrang ginagamit ko ngayon. hindi bale susunod na kayo alpha and ses. Pag-iisahin ko na lang iyong mga gift niyo ha para tipid. Tutal magkasunod naman kayo eh.

Anyway, 18 na ako. Shit I'm like pwede nang bumoto! Next year Feb 14 19 na ako, so iyong regalo ko ha. :)

ang pagbabalik (shit parang panday, ickyness!)

2006-03-28T21:38:00.000+08:00

Grabe after ilang years of hibernating I am back. Well why not eh the semester is over and besides, the books lined up for me to read will not be enough for me to enjoy (sana nga) my vacation. Aba, two weeks din iyon bago mag-start ang summer classes ano!!

Anyway, its been almost two months since I last updated my blog. I’ve been very busy these days (parang totoong nag-aaral ha?!). But honestly, I have so many things to talk about. But siguro I was not in the mood to do so. Kaya medyo turn back time ang magiging mga entries. Well for the sake of missed happenings na lang. Kahit wag na ang mga ka-chorvahan ko sa lyf.

At para hindi na rin mailto ang mga utaw (o sisterette lam ko naman babasahin mo ang blog ko eh, ayan mga nakukuha kong words sau) eh isang entry na lang ang back-to-the-future emote kong ito. Pero wait naisip ko i-separate ung mga feel kong ihiwalay. (this is my blog anyway. Ang bitch ever!!!)

Okay acads muna para matapos na. Nyway tapos naman na talaga. Well, compared sa previous sem, I think mas okay naman ang grades ko this time. Aside from mas nag-exert ako ng effort (well kung effort nga iyong maituturing), eh I enjoyed my subjects. Siguro isang reason ung para mag-persevere. Chika!

Sa tingin ko naman mataas ako sa PanPil 40. Aba, sapakin ko prof ko kapag hindi. Hehehe… Sa Comm 100 (majors ito!) nasa line of 1 naman ang final grade. Hehe… hindi ko an tuloy naikwento ung adventures naming sa paggawa ng group report for this class. Medyo GMA 7 lang naman. Ashushu… Okay separate na lang. mahaba masyado un.

Okay din naman ako sa SocSci 1. medyo nafru-frustrate lang kasi ung 3^rd LE eh nalito ako. Kainis. Buti pa si Jack mas okay ung set ng questions niya. Sana Set B na lang din ako. Pero may good news. Hindi ko na kinailangang mag re-take nung exam sa map. Binabaan kasi ung cut-off, dati 7 and below, ngaun 4 and below. Yippee, eh 6 ako!!!

Ano pa ba? NatSci 1, well keri na lang iyon. Ang daya nga eh, kasi ung nakuha kong profs a Physics part mahirap talaga magpa-exam, compared sa prof nila loplop, kim, and prepre (may god laging inuulit ang name ha). Sa Chem naman although parehas na kami ni Loplop, eh nagcompare kami ng 4^th LE mas madali ung format nung kanila. Kaazar!!!

Well eto na ang bigatin, PolSc 14. Gudluk sa grades. Kasi wala naman talaga interaction sa class naming so I wonder kung ano makukuha ko grades. Although nakapag-comply naman ako ng mga requirements. Aba, sumugod pa talaga kami sa Manila City Hall para mag-research for our paper ha. And sobrang exert din naman ako ng efforts for the assigned readings. Kahit wala nang pumapasok sa utak ko, go pa rin.

Masaya din ang sem dahil sa mga new friends na na-meet ko at sa ibang blockmates na naka-bond ko. Kahit papaano. Although kulang kami sa Comm (meaning hindi buong block enrolled sa class na un) eh okay lang. I still get to see Raines a PolSc. Pero sina Reg, Jen, Dolly and Sheila super seldom talaga. Super sarap maging seatmates naman ang mga new found friends ko sa ibang subjects. Si pearl sa NatSc na katabi naming ni Annali at sobrang lokaloka rin. Siya din ang pinagtatanungan ko sa SocSci kasi parehas kami ng prof. Sila ung class before kami. Sila Ea at Mike na may-pagkalukaret din. Okrayan lagi sa SocSci with Ea. Sa Bowling naman, ang mga grupmates ko, sila Bea, Trina, at Homer. At sa PanPil sila Tina and Romeo.

Grabe ang haba naman pala ng evaluation ko sa aking second sem. So I guess I really have to make a separate entry for the recall-the-past-happenings thing.

Stop Media Repression!

2006-03-27T19:01:00.000+08:00

This statement was signed by 124 students, faculty members and
administrative staff of the University of the Philippines College of
Mass Communication (UP CMC) at its emergency assembly last February 27,
2006.

Rescind Proclamation No. 1017
Statement of the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication (UP CMC) on the state of national emergency

Proclamation No. 1017 and General Order No. 5, both signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last February 24, have been used by the government to quell legitimate dissent as manifested by the arrests of demonstrators and so-called conspirators to bring down the President. We can conclude from the raid on the broadsheet The Daily Tribune and the tight watch by the military on other media agencies that the Macapagal-Arroyo administration is savaging press freedom.

The suppression of mass media agencies and other organizations will continue unless we unite to fight for our rights and to oppose all measures aimed at curtailing our freedoms. As an academic institution, the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication (UP CMC) is committed to the defense of free _expression and press freedom.

We believe that press freedom is the cornerstone of a democratic society. It is crucial in providing the people the information they need to form enlightened opinion on matters of public interest especially in times of crisis. And yet, Proclamation No. 1017 condemns the media for "recklessly magnify(ing)" the claims of the political opposition.

The UP CMC is committed to oppose measures like Proclamation No. 1017 which clearly undermine the role of the free press in the country.

We demand that the President end the assault on press freedom and the media and immediately rescind Proclamation No. 1017.

**************************************************

Well post ko na rin bilang kasapi ng kolehiyong ito. Kahit pa hindi ako nakasama sa Emergency Meeting ng CMC. Xempre la naman class, bakit pa ako pupunta. Besides, papayagan ba ako?!

something we ought to know

2006-03-27T15:42:00.000+08:00

naku feeling ko late na ang article na ito for everybody to read. but anyway, sinend to sakin ng prof ko dati sa socsci. for the sake of awareness daw. Actually we discussed this sa PolSc 14 class ko at medyo nabanggit dun sa forum na inattendan ko about 1017. so read on okie...

Dear Tita Cory, senators, congressmen, businessmen, media people, leftists, and all bleeding hearts out there, I am angry. And I know that there are many out there who are angrier than I am for the same reason. And that reason is simple. I am sick and tired of all you guys claiming to speak for me and many Filipinos.

I feel like screaming every time you mouth words about fighting for my freedom and my rights, when you obviously are just thinking about yours. You tell me that the essence of democracy is providing every citizen the right to speak his or her mind and make his or her own informed judgments, but you yourselves do not respect my silence and the choices I and many others have made. In other words, your concept of democracy is limited to having your rights and your freedoms respected, at the expense of ours.

I am utterly flabbergasted that you still do not get it: we already responded to your calls, and our response has been very clear —we chose not to heed your calls to go to Edsa or to Fort Bonifacio not because we do not love our country or our freedoms or our rights, but precisely because we love our country even more. Because quite frankly, we are prepared to lose our freedoms and our rights just to move this country forward. You may think that is not correct, you can tell me all the dire warnings about the evils of authoritarian rule, but quite frankly all we see is your pathetic efforts to prop up your cause. You tell me that you are simply protecting my freedoms and my rights, but who told you to do that? I assure you that when I feel that my rights and my freedoms are at a peril, I will stand up and fight for them myself.

You tell us that GMA is not the right person to lead this country because she has done immoral acts. As someone who sees immorality being committed wantonly in many ways every day and by everyone (yes, including you), I may have become jaded. But you have not been able to offer me any viable alternative, while GMA has bent over backwards many times to accommodate you while continuing to work hard despite all the obstacles and the brickbats you have thrown her way. From where I sit, she is the one who has been working really hard to move this country forward while all of you have been so busy with one and only one thing: to make sure she does not succeed. So forgive me if I do not want to join you in your moral pissing contest. Forgive me if I have chosen to see things from another perspective.

You say she is the problem. I say, we are the problem; more to the point, I think you are a bigger problem than she is. Taking her out may solve part of the problem, but that leaves us with a bigger problem: you. That is right, you!

While I felt outraged that she called a Comelec official during the elections and that she may have rigged the elections, I have since then taken the higher moral ground and forgiven her. Yes, my dear bishops, I have done what you have told me to do since I was a child, which you say is the Christian and moral thing to do: forgive. Especially since she has asked for forgiveness and has tried to make amends for it. Erap certainly has not apologized and continues to be defiant, continuing to insult us every day with his protestations. Cory has not apologized for her incompetence but we have forgiven her just the same because like GMA, she has worked hard, after all.

I know you think that GMA's apology was not enough, or that she was insincere, or that that apology should not be the end of it, but please spare me the hypocrisy of telling me that you do so for the sake of protecting the moral fiber of society. The real reason is because you smell blood and want to go for the kill.

Well, I have news for you. I do not like her, too. I did not even vote for her. I voted for Raul Roco. But as much as I do not like her, I do not like you even more. I may not trust her, but guess what: I do not trust you even more.

You know why? Because all you do is whine and sabotage this country. You belittle every little progress we make; conveniently forgetting that it is not just GMA who has been working so hard to achieve them.

Every single day, we keep the faith burning in our hearts that this country will finally pull itself out of the mess and we work so hard to do that. Every little progress is the result of our collective effort, we who toil hard every day in our jobs. Yet, you persist in one and only thing: making GMA look bad in the eyes of the world and making sure that this country continues to suffer to prove your sorry point. In the process, you continue to destroy what we painstakingly try to build. So please do not be surprised that I do not share your cause. Do not be surprised that we have become contemptuous of your antics. You have moved heaven and earth to destroy her credibility, you have convened all kinds of fora and hearings and all you have done is test our patience to the core. For all your effort, you have only succeeded in dragging us further down. I say enough.

Don't get me wrong. I am not asking that we take immorality lying down, or that we let the President get away with anything illegal. But you have tried to prove your accusations all this time and you have not succeeded, so it is time to let things be. Besides, you are doing something immoral as well if not utterly unforgivable. The Magdalo soldiers are consorting with the communists—the same people who have been trying to kill democracy for years. Cory has been consorting with Erap and the Marcoses.

So please wake up and take a reality check. In the absence of true and genuine moral leadership, many of us have decided to cast our lot with the President, even if we do not like her. A flawed leader is better than scheming power-hungry fools who cannot even stand up for their convictions in the face of an impending arrest.

Your coup attempts and the denials that you have consequently made only underscored what we think is true: you are spineless and unreliable people whose only defense is to cry suppression when your ruse does not work. You are like bullies who taunt and provoke, but cry oppression when taken to task for your cruelty.
I would have respected you if you took the consequences of your actions like real heroes: calmly and responsibly instead of kicking and screaming and making lame excuses. You say you are willing to die for us, that you do all these things for the country and the Filipino, but you are not even willing to go to jail for us.

Come on, you really think we believe that you did not want to bring down the government when that is the one and only thing you have been trying to do in the last many months?

We love this country and we want peace and progress. Many among us do not give a damn who sits at Malacañang because we will work hard and do our share to make things work. If you only do your jobs, the ones that we elected you to do, things would be a lot simpler and easier for every one.

The events during the weekend only proved one thing. You are more dangerous and a serious threat to this country than GMA is. We have seen what you are capable of doing—you are ready to burn this country and reduce everything to ashes just to prove your point. If there is something that we need protection from, it is protection from you.

THERE'S NO SLEEP FOR THE WICKED

pathetic me

2006-02-05T21:30:00.000+08:00

although masaya at masasabi kong free ang schedule ko this semester, eh napaka-pathetic ko. bakit? nakakahiya man pero sasabihin ko na rin kahit na maaaring wala na akong mukhang maihaharap.

una, hindi pa rin ako pumapasa sa bowling. kaazar!!! kahit na-tapat na ako sa magagandang lanes eh wah epek pa rin ang powers ko. biro niyo ang pasing seventy at ako sixty-nine. sino ba namang hindi mabwibwisit nun davah?! pero maswerte na rin ako that day. kasi sabi ng prof ko kapag walang bura yung score sheet eh plus five sa score lahat ng members. so kung nagkaganoon nga, aba, kita mo nga naman, pasado!!!

pangalawa, simula grade 1 eh kinakanta na natin ang pambansang awit sa paaralan. kaya naman naisipan ng prof ko sa socsci 1 na isama ito sa first exam. either UP Naming Mahal or Lupang Hinirang, depende sa kung anong set ng questions ang mapupunta sa iyo. At dahil hindi ata kami jive ng mga dogs eh ang pambansang awit ang napunta sa akin. habang sinusulat ko, bigla na lamang nawala sa isip ko ang mga susunod na linya. Shit di ba!!! so sinagutan ko na lang muna yung ibang items. pero nung bumalik na ako, kaunti lang rin ang bumalik na lyrics sa isip ko. so humanda ako sa prof ko. patay!!!

pangatlo, hindi ako nakapasok sa nat sci 1 ko. As in sobrang aga kong gumising, as usual. kaso nung araw na iyon ay kasama ko si papa dahil pupunta siya ng office. ayos magtataxi kami! kaso malas ata talaga ako, sobrang walang vacant na taxi. almost one hour na kami nagaabang. okay, tanggap ko na, late na ako. pero umasa parin ako na makapasok. kaso huwag na lang din. baka magalit si dir magpantay eh. so goodluck sa akin dahil hindi ko alam ang lesson nung araw na iyon. sana tulad nung first exam sa natsci pasado kahit papaano. hehehe...

ineexpect ko na madaragdagan pa itong cited examples ko dito. hehehe... kakabit ko na ang malas.

miss 'em

2006-01-11T21:56:00.000+08:00

While watching the episode of Starstruck 3 with the Powerdance, I can't help but reminisce my modern jazz days. Actually, what they did there was the same routine we used to do in class. I miss wearing my jazz shoes. Awwww...

A whole new year

2006-01-01T18:49:00.000+08:00

Much have been said about my previous year. I hope this time i'd still be able to share things despite my busy schedule.

Well its the new year. I'm not used to doing resolutions because it'll just be left undone. I admit, it'll take me some time to change things that's not good about me. but I guess the bottomline is: LOVE ME OR HATE ME.

Happy New Year Y'all!!!

another one

2005-12-31T21:19:00.000+08:00

Second film ko na sa MMFF, Mulawin naman this time. hihihi... My sister and I watched this kanina sa Megamall.

Ayos, wala gaanong tao sa mall. Media Noche na kasi mamaya kaya siguro people chose to stay at home na lang. Or gaya nga ng sabi ng sister ko, nasa probinsya pa ang mga jologs.

Pero over naman ata sa konti ang tao. Free seating kasi sa Megamall kaya sa taas na kami. Kaso wala pa ata sa 15 ung tao sa buong sinehan. Either maaga pa masyado or talagang hindi pumatok yung movie.

Maganda ang story. fast paced naman siya. Nasobrahan pa nga ata sa bilis eh. Kaso may times na obvious ung effects. hindi pulido. pero pwede na palagpasin. Basta ang gwapo ni Dennis!

=']

2005-12-29T22:17:00.000+08:00

happy ako

bakit?

kasi after a very long time eh nakalarga ako uliut kasama si ange. Actually dapat beklas ang naandun, kaso nagkagulo-gulo. basta, mahabang kwento. Ang nangyari ako, si angie at si jack.

anyway film fest season once again. Kainis kasi ung feel naming panoorin ay sa Jan 1 pa showing, ung Blue moon. eto pa, while strolling the mall before we buy the tickets, we saw jeff, ronel and mark. Coincidence?!

So dahil ganun na nga ang nangyari, we decided to merge na lang. anyway they're suppose to watch din a movie. Kaso all teh films have started na, so we're down to Ako Legal Wife and Enteng Kabisote 2. both naman na comedy so for me, any of the two will do. So, we ended up sa Enteng Kabisote 2.hehehe...

The movie was fun. Keri na ang mga effects. Although yung story may pagkababaw.

this post will be too long if i'll write all the details. Basta, masaya ako. period.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

2005-12-28T22:42:00.000+08:00

Christian Bautista is THE perfect package.

I already bought a copy of xtian's newest album Completely days ago. He's really great, and cute! I love his songs. Ahhhh.... and his pictues too! his album has this photo album effect. its for international release kasi. Most of the songs are in english. Although one's in Filipino, the greenwich theme.

I'll never get tired of playing it over and over. again.

I'm back

2005-12-27T21:37:00.000+08:00

At last I am back from my three-day long vacation in Zambales, my mom's hometown. Well everything went perfect during my stay there. Although there were some disappointing news. But all in all, it was the best.

We arrived there noon of the 25th. And here's the sad news, one of my grandma's dogs, White, died days before. He's such a sweet dog pa naman. But I have gotten over that issue already. Well that's life, things come and go.

We went to my aunt's houses to get our xmas gifts. luckily, I still did get presents from them. Yehey!

The next day we went swimming. It's crazy actually. Because it's really cold but well what can I do, my cousins were the one who planned in and I just hopped in.

As usual, I do not know how to swim so I just pretended to be swimming. whaaa!!! There's this picture where I really looked good (I guess). But since we went home today, I wasn't able to get a copy.

I really enjoyed playing with my cousins, nephews and nieces. They're really growing fast that sometimes I just get startled to see how they've grown. In years they could be as tall as I am now. Whoa!

------------------------------------

My brother won a magic sing during their office's mardi gras thing. So now, we have TWO.

Last October papa bought a magic sing extreme. Good thing the one my brother got isn't the same as the old one. He won a WOW MS and its better because the songs are quite new (unlike the first).

Anyway, what the difference between an extreme and a wow? the extreme one has sceneries from all-over the world as its backgrounds. wow, on the other hand, has pictures only of the Philippines.

merry christmas everyone!

2005-12-24T23:45:00.000+08:00

well i will be away this Christmas. I'll be going to Zambales and spend a three-day long vacation there (I hope that's enough though).

Anyway, any minute now our street will be as wild as it usually is during special occasions. When I went to hear mass a while ago the tables were already set.

I think that's whats nice about our community here. Every special occasion or even if they just felt like doing it, they'd set up the tables and chairs and sing all night long. Every house has there own magic sing. Yipeee!!!

Oh well, so much for that. Lemme go back to my to-be vacation tomorrow. So well, yes, i'll be gone. I'll just tell you guys everything I did when I was away. I hope it'll be fun.

Bye for now. Happy Holidays Everyone!

I have just finished greeting my friends using Chikka. Well for those whom I missed to greet, Merry Xmas.

movies anyone?!

2005-12-22T18:49:00.000+08:00

Grabe ang daming movies na gusto kong panoorin.

First, I wanna watch any of the entries sa MMFF. Preferably Mulawin or something na light lang, Ako Legal Wife perhaps. Cute kasi ng trailer.

Second, Chronicles of Narnia. Although the part na ipalalabas eh ung Book 2: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Malas kasi what I have read lang eh books 1,3 and 6. Oh di ba ang weird no. Una ko pang binili diyan book 6 (The Silver Chair). Actually I have read these books way back when I was in elementary kaya na-excite naman ako at may movie na siya. Kasi kahit ung mga stage plays ng Trumpets pinalampas ko rin eh.

Lastly, Pride and Prejudice. This is my all-time favorite book. I went gaga when I found out about it. I have also watched and read Sense and Sensibility, pero this one talaga ang gusto ko.

Ahhhh!!! sino sasama?!

pics from the parade

2005-12-21T15:06:00.000+08:00

because I wasn't able to bring our cam, I'm posting some screenshots from saksi the other night. as i have mentioned, howie severino was there during the lantern parade and here are some parts of his sidetrip segment in saksi.

okay so ito ang kwento:

*ayan ang Quezon hall. naku perfect talaga ang gabi dahil it didn't rain then bilog na bilog pa ang buwan. napakaganda lalo na kapag pinagmasdan mo na nakaupo sa isa sa mga bench sa acad oval.

*that's Quezon Hall close-up.

*this is during the parade sa tapat ng AS. sobrang dami ng tao at ang hirap makakuha ng nice spot para manood.

*ang tae. ka-join sa Earth part ng Fine Arts.

*ito naman ay isda (i think ha?!). Ka-level ang mga Water creatures again from the college of Fine Arts.

*mga masks. Sa wind division ata.

*next is the... i don't really know kung ano eh. basta ka-join sa masterpieces ng CFA.

*lastly. gabi na yan kaya hindi ko ma-sight ng maayos if what that lantern is.

Anyway iyan ang ilang trivia (chos!) sa nagdaang lantern parade. sana naman next year eh hindi na austerity chuva ang emote para lahat may float. Actually may belen contest naman this year. Pero I have no idea who won. nakakatuwa ung sa CMC. hehehe... naka-display sa lobby namin. :]

perya ever

2005-12-16T22:47:00.000+08:00

Dahil wala naman kaming org, we (me and my high school classmates) decided na to have our own exchange gifts. So after na magbunutan nung tuesday, kanina naganap ang pagpapalitan. Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, the venue was Paskong Pasiklab. Siyempre that's the one nearest sa peyups. Besides para mag-explore na rin ng ibang places.

Naku ang masasabi ko lang: sobrang lugi ka! Biro mo for that kind of place mapapagastos ka ng sobra! Why?!

Una, may entrance pa sa ganoong uri ng lugar. 30 Php. Sige, fine, pwede pa palagpasin. Pero naman ang isang very cheap na ride costs 30 bucks each. eh sobrang sandali ka lang. hindi pa magiinit ang pwet mo sa pagkakaupo doon eh. Ang masama pa nito, sasakit ang katawan mo kasi hindi man lamang cushioned ung seats. Pero siyempre that's that. Eh perya ever naman ung lugar ano.Siguro gustuhin mo mang sumakay pa sa ibang rides you'd have second thoughts kasi una butas bulsa mo and hindi ka sure kung safe ka.

Naku enough na ang once kong ma-try ang pagpunta sa pasiklab na iyon.

On the other hand, carry na rin at least we had a mini reaunion-bonding thing. Kaso ung nakabunot sa akin hindi sumipot eh. Pero oks lang. O cia enough na rin dito.

Lantern Parade and Miss Eng'g?

2005-12-15T23:55:00.000+08:00

Amazing ang mga lanterns na ginawa ng sangka-UPihan. lalo na siyempre ang Fine Arts. Although austerity churva ang emote ng UP ngaung taon, gumawa parin ang ilang colleges ng lanterns nila.

Swerte siguro kami ni Jack sa mga pwesto at kitangkita ulit namin ang events. Bongga talaga ang works ng Fine Arts. Too bad I wasn't able to bring our camera. Hindi kasi naka-charge ang batteries. sayang.

Well sandali lang naman nagtagal ang buong thingy. So after nun tambay muna kami. Tingin tingin sa mga stalls. Lakad lakad hanggang mapagod. At anong petsa na noon eh wala pa rin sila ses na nagpunta ng SM para bumili ng gift (may exchange gift kasi kami).

after ten years eh dumating na sila. We decided to just watch this event sa College of Engineering, ung Miss Eng'g nila. Dapat kasi we'll watch ung concert which was supposed to be held at the Sunken Garden. But then moved sa Bahay ng Alumni. Kaso baka the siksikan so hindi na lang. Well based na rin un sa naging experience nila nung Freshteeg.

So gora CE na kami. Nakakatuwa naman pala ung event. Puro lalaki ang kasali pero nagdamit babae. Nung nag-start na sobrang napuno na rin ang Eng'g at siksikan sobra! Pero enjoy pa rin kasi bastusan ang nangyari.

Each org kasi na under ng Eng'g eh may representative. Syempre kapag pangit ang sa ibang org, laitan ever na. Sobrang enjoy talaga. San ka pa? andun sina Diego, Pokwang at Mystika. hehehe...

Pero what shocked us the most eh kasali ang isang old schoolmate. Si Milan. Nyahaha.

Pero i didn't stay there that long. I had to go to College of Law kasi my sister was there. May event din sa Malcolm. So sabay kami umuwi. At kaya rin naman ako nakapanood hanggang gabi kasi kasama ko siya pauwi.

Nang mayanig ang AS...

Oblation Run na!

This is one hell of an experience i'll never forget! nakakaloka ang araw na ito. Ang daming first na nangyari sa akin.

But as usual, muntikan ko na namang hindi mapanood ang run. Paano naman kasi, today is the deadline ng paper ko sa PanPil 40. eh I crammed as usual. Besides, I got sick din the other day so I had no time to finish it. And hell, that paper gave me a headache.

Okay so going back, I got stuck in traffic bandang Katipunan. All the cars of the Ateneo people caused all the traffic. Pero pagkalagpas ng Ateneo eh smooth sailing na. I was so scared pa nga talaga coz I thought I wouldn't make it. I was starting to get pissed kasi I could have reached UP earlier if it wasn't for our printer.

On time naman ako sa run. Mga 15 minutes early. Damn, the whole AS was full. sobrang siksikan sa loob. Buti na lang Jack had a nice place sa may steps so kitang-kita talaga.

Ang daming media people. Andun pa si Howie Severino ng GMA. Ang cool grabe. And I even saw Sid Lucero there. Even students from other schools came. At ang nakakaloka pa, may mga ma-jonderbelles (matatanda) pang andun. Grabe ha hindi talaga paaawat.

Sa sobrang pagka-excite ng mga katauhan eh ang daming false alarm. Manggagaling kasi sila sa Quezon Hall. Dun nga daw may dalawang girl na sumali sa run eh. Pero ayun dumating na sila sa AS at nagsimula na rin. Siyempre panu mo malalaman, sobrang lakas ng mga tili galing sa lobby!

Sa totoo lang un ang pinaka hindi ko na-gets sa mga tao. Bakit kelangan magtilian? sobrang sabik ba na kapag nakita mo eh mapapatili ka talaga?! Ewan ko, ako kasi tawa ng tawa nung nakita ko na eh. Nagulat ako sa itsura. Hindi ko inexpect na ganun pala un. Kaloka!

So ayun matapos nilang magsisigaw ng patalsikin si GMA sa steps, balik na sila sa loob. We thought tapos na ang lahat so we got out of the building na to look for our classmates. But wait there's more! Hala minutes later, andun ang mga kalalakihan sa right wing, sige pa rin sa pagtakbo! So kami naman, takbo rin agad sa loob. pero hindi ko carry ang sobrang body contact sa loob kaya nung dumaan ulit, torso na lang ang nakita ko.

Grabe kakaibang experience. Sayang nga lang si Ses, hindi niya napanood. Naghihintay pa kasi ng kasama eh. Di bale, may 4 years pa naman siya sa UP! nyahaha!

Happy Birthday Angie.

She's one of my closest friends way back high school. My carbon copy. Sometimes, napagkakamalang ako siya, basta, lagi kaming napapagpalit. Kahit sa school. Lagi pa naman kaming magkasama sa mga contests.

Angie and I are both...

beautiful

drop-dead gorgeous

Got this pic from the final episode of Encantadia. So this is how Mark Herras would look like if he's already old but still has that body.

Hindi maganda ang pagkaggawa sa fes ng lolo mo kasi obvious eh. besides ang icky niya dito!

PASQ na sa UP

CHRISTMAS IS ALL OVER UP!

at last, ang most awaited week ko this december sa university ay nagstart na. but i didn't expect na ang event na ito will start in a disaster.

I used to go to school through the service of my father. But now that he won't be working anymore, I have to go to school by public transport. So monday, I went to school using the LRT-Katipunan route. I was confident I'd arrive on time so I left our house an hour before my class. Pero, eto na, pagdating ng Balara, damn, it was super traffic. The whole acad oval was closed para sa mga tiangge. So tendency, limited ang space inside UP, the other vehicles pati nga ikot jeeps needed to pass through Balara area. Kaya ayun, so traffic.

But I still had time pa naman so I didn't panic. I'm lucky the jeep got inside the campus pa. But come ilangilang res hall, the driver asked us to go down. So I walked a whole block to get to mass comm for my comm 100 class. I thought I was late na. But there were only few people inside the room. Others, like my blockmate, walked from Balara to Plaridel Hall. Whoah! sobrang layo!

After my class I got to see the booths installed around the oval. ung iba wala pa gaano tinda kasi start pa lang. But excited na ako for the coming events. Can't wait!

enough of sam milby

2005-12-10T21:19:00.000+08:00

i am so sick of sam milby's face.

he's face is everywhere. argh... i hate it. he is not handsome so just stop it.

i automatically read the newspaper whenever i wake up. and what just ruined my day was this whole page of sam's freaking face endorsing bench. oh god, of all faces!

and then going through the entertainment page, there's this hotdog brand advertisement which seems to have sam as its endorser. there's this teaser pa na watch out if who's gonna be the model. eh its very obvious naman. why? because the name of the hotdog is sam. davah! but i must say, it can also be sam concepcion. how i wish it would just be the latter.

oh just stop it!!! the moment he got evicted he's everywhere. the annoying evicted housemates are everywhere. enough!

he is singing in every show possible, next, he's doing advertisements, and what's worse, a movie. wahhhh!!!

wala na bang ibang artista ang dos at puro pbb housemates na lang ang pinagkakakitaan nila?!
