2007-10-29T21:32:00.000+08:00

Didn’t mean to take you for granted
Didn’t mean to show I don’t care
Didn’t mean to throw away this once in a lifetime of chance
Being with you

And I’ll drive for 2 hours
To bring Butterfingers
I don’t mind the distance
This kismet’s a dance

This time I surrender
My everything forever
Life doesn’t matter
Just our souls together

Pride no longer has room in me
On bended knees in public I cry
Your name for everyone to know that I love you, I love you
Please hear me now

And I’ll drive for 2 hours
To bring Butterfingers
I don’t mind the distance
This kismet’s a dance

This time I surrender
My everything forever
Life doesn’t matter
Just our souls together

Hope I could do this. Oh God help me.

:(

ORIENT2 fun! :)

2007-09-26T18:47:00.000+08:00

Magkkwento ako about my ORIENT2 1st session nung Saturday, September 22. :)

Spiritual Development and Career Planning Workshop

The day's worth sharing, 'coz I had LOTS of fun nitong Saturday na 'to! Some interesting topics, at the same time, over sa laughtrip! Haha. Truly, the people in my section (yung group namin especially, which was a BOYS group -- naligaw si bruha :p) made my ORIENT2 unforgettable. Haha. :)

Hearing from my other friends who have already taken up ORIENT2, I had this impression that ORIENT2 is just another Saturday to waste. (Kamusta naman, title pa lang seen on the caption of my photo, boring na pakinggan eh.) Well, it could be that we'd learn things, especially planning for our future, but because most sessions were boring, I had less motivation to go. But being a school requirement (and my parents paid for it!), I still went. (P.S. 8:30 am pa yung session..*die*)

(SEGWAY: I am so overwhelmed. Hindi ako mapirmi. Haha I duno why. I'm so giddy, I have so much to do, important and unimportant ones. Hehe.)

I am proud to say that I arrived school at 8:20. Yay! I had 5 minutes pa to pass by my beloved Discipline Office, to say hi to the people there, si Ms. Christy and Ms. Joey pa lang at that time. 8:25, I went to the ORIENT2 classroom already. We were made to answer the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II test, much like the Personality Plus test I took up at church. Pero this test would say if you're Extrovert/Introvert, Sensing/Intuitive, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving.

Based on my answers, I got the ENTJ temperament. Extrovert-Intuitive-Thinking-Judging. Hm. And this is the description.

"Hearty, frank, decisive, leaders in activities. Usually good in anything that requires reasoning and intelligent talk, such as public speaking. Are usually well-informed and enjoy adding to their fund of knowledge. May sometimes appear more positive and confident than their experience in an area warrants."

Not that far from my HS guidance test, when I took the test when I was in 2nd year (I think), I got ESTJ. Instead of Sensing, I became Thinking na in college. Hmm. This is the ESTJ description.

"Practical, realistic, matter-of-fact, with a natural head for business or mechanics. Not interested in subjects they see no use for, but can apply themselves when necessary. Likes to organize and run activities. May make good administrators, especially if they remember to consider others' feelings and point of view."

Still applies to me. Even up to now. And in fairness, both descriptions are similar to my Choleric temperament. Woohoo I love it. I love being choleric. :) Even if sometimes it makes me unpopular, still, I embrace my fabulous temperament. *Trash my Melancholic side!* Hahaha evil :D

So yun. Lots of activities were done pa (interesting lahat, actually) but if I tell everything here, wala nang magbabasa ng entry! Hahah! Because this would be an overly-egocentric entry na! :p Puro na lang ako, ako. Pero, that's what blogs are supposed to be, diba? Haha. Sabay save sa sarili. :p

Laughtrip sessions were when we had the group activities. One where we had to "shop" for needs seen in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Second, where we had this famous "end of the world but you can only save 8 people" activity.

Since I'm almost always destined to be one of the boys (Shucks, nagdududa na ko sa sarili ko ha..Hehe kiddin), I had this group wherein we were 10 in the group (Micko, Mico, Mon, Karwin, EJ, Mark, JOANNE [well, I am Jon in school naman so pwede na ring boy haha], and 3 others I don't remember the name..Sorry!). And we know what happens when a group is an all-boy group. Chaos na 'to! And that's exactly what happened. All our presentations were laughtrip, pero sensible ha, FYI. :p Bida namin in the group: MON! Dry humor grabe, he doesn't make faces pag humihirit siya, pero sumakit cheeks namin sa kakatawa! Hehe! I just can't describe how fun it was to be his groupmate, because my words won't justify just how funny he was. Whew. He's the funniest person I've met so far in my entire life. Haha! Ang sarap tumawa with the boys. No pretentions eh, walang poise tumawa. Hehe. And I love that.

And come this activity. Ice breaker daw according to our facilitator (Who was fun too, BTW. Former Lasallista eh.) kahit na na-break na yung ice. Haha. We played this game where the facilitator made each group line up in front of the blackboard. Then she will say a letter. Whatever that letter will be, it'll be the basis on how we will write our sentence on the board, kasi every word in our sentence should start with that letter mentioned. One member corresponds to one word in the sentence. So we have to come up with a sensible sentence using the letter that the facilitator gave us.

Trial Round: Letter A, English.

Our group came up with this: "An atis and apple aren't always appreciated, although are ample."

Ayos! We had the most sensible sentence among four groups! Kaso trial lang. Haha. After that trial parang ewan na yung mga sentences namin. Haha that's where the laughtrip really had its climax. Iba talaga mag-isip ang mga lalake. Iba!

How I wished talaga I wrote down all our nonsense benta sentences! Hindi ko na maalala sa dami eh! But here are some things I remember:

Letter T, English.

"Timothy the terrible terminated the teacher that taught thesis today."

O san kayo dun! Haha may sense pa rin pala kaming ginawa! Hehe!

Letter D, Taglish.

"Doon dapat dumating dati daw dumungaw doorway doctor daddy Doodle."

KAMUSTA NAMAN YUN! Hahah! DOCTOR DADDY DOODLE! Grabe I had a hard time getting over this, sobra! Hehe! XD

Letter M, Taglish.

"Mister Mcdonald Mark Miguel Martin Macapagal Mendoza mahilig mag-make money." (Names were altered na, I can't remember all the exact names we put eh!)

I loved this too, mautak eh. Gumawa ng ubod ng haba na pangalan para konti na lang sa huli. Haha!

Ito ata yung last round namin, laughtrip pa rin 'coz emo na yung dating eh..except for one word. Wahehe. At ako pa yung nagsulat. Nyahaha. Yun lang naisip namin eh! XD

Letter L, English.

"Love, lust, lies lingers, lasts, longer like lions, leopards, lepers."

San galing yung lepeeers??? Di ko rin alam! Heheh! Pero the sentence doesn't mean anything pa rin naman kahit wala yung lepers.. XD

Of all the rounds, we only got 1 point. At pinagbigyan pa kami nun wahahaha. BUT as Mon (bida!) said, kahit hindi kami nanalo or pinakamababa points namin, PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD naman kami! Wala talbog sila sa sentences namin! Hehe! :D

I'm loving ORIENT2. Haha!

Guys really ARE something. Pero pang-laughtrip lang muna sila talaga. Wahehe. :p

Hello second term. :)

2007-09-16T20:57:00.000+08:00

My best hug I received for the day was from Ate Momi Normi. :)

Don't ask, I just felt the sisterhood from the hug. Ate Normi, thanks. AP na kita forever ha? I love the text and kwentuhan sessions. You'll still be my AP kahit I'm also with Tita Jet na. Para may builder Paul din ako. So I'd be Super Timothy with two wonderful Pauls. Yay I love it :)

Backtrack. I've been NOT blogging for quite some time now. Parang I didn't even blog about my one week term break. Haha. I was too tamad to blog about it, pero the term break went well rin naman. I wouldn't say that I've been productive (because my room's still a mess, lots of piles of papers from last term, kahit nga two terms ago eh haha), but at least I got all the sleep that I wanted. That's important. And paka-glutton everyday. Tapos di pa rin tumataba. O, wag mainggit. Exerting effort to gain weight (and stay sexy) isn't an easy job, you know. Teehee. :D

Finally, I got to visit Pat in her apartment (very) near my school last Thursday. And I love their place. (Sayang Momi Normi, hindi tayo nagkita dun.) It's gonna be my Thursday hangout place na. Pat and I just spent the whole afternoon playing games on their PC, and enjoy mataranta sa games, because we were supposed to meet Tita Jet for our first Paul-Timothy session, kaya lang being a very busy woman, Tita Jet cancelled at the last minute. Hehe. The games we played on the PC were Diner Dash, Bounce Out, Mystery Case Files, and other stressful games. Hehe. And oh, this is worth mentioning. Nilibre kami ni JV (Pat's cousin and our churchmate, living with them in the apartment) at Josiah's Restaurant at UN! Kahit hindi tuloy ang AP date, still, we ate there. Hehe. Loyal eh. :p And yun, nanlibre si JV! Pat and I were kind of broke kasi, so praise the Lord JV was there to save us from eating a not so yummy lunch. So masarap na pagkain ang nakain namin! Haha. :D

After that, we went back to the apartment to hangout. Kankan (Did I get the spelling right?), JV's girlfriend, also joined us in the apartment. Then sabay na silang bumalik at CSB to have class. So Pat and I were left there. Then moments later, Jovan arrived naman to hangout too, since it was his breaktime. Konting kape, games, iPod, at beanbag lang, okay na! Hehe. Jov left din after a while to catch his 6pm class. Then Kuya EJ arrived later. Haha puro salisihan yung mga tao. This is the part I regret that I left our cam at home, when in fact the previous days, it was just on my bag. Pffft. SBC mini-reunion yun. Meeting many churchmates all in one day. Haha. I left the apartment at around 9pm na (and I was there since 1pm haha adiiiik), because I so enjoyed staying there.

Next Thursday ulit. And the next. And the next. And the next. Yay! Haha :p

1st day high!
Haggard from commuting, but still. Fabulous. Hah. :p

Also, I just spent my first week of my 2nd term of this school year. And as a tradition, I always tell stories and my comments on my new professors. Masaya gawin, because when I look back in my archives (pag senti mode) and get to read them, some of my first impressions with my professors lasted for the whole term, but then, there are those where I hated the professor at first, but came to love him/her as time passed. Hehe.

COMSTA2 (Commerce Statistics 2). Looking and following my flowchart, I should have taken this subject nung 2nd term of my 2nd year pa. But now I'm in my 2nd term of my 3rd year na. So I'm one year late already. Why, you ask? Because there's usually only one professor who teaches this subject, and I've been hearing feedback that Prof. Malaya is not really that okay. I don't know why. Iba-iba e. But I had no choice. As much as I try to avoid her and wait for new professors to teach this subject, wala talaga. So the heck, I took it na rin. Haha. Wala eh, hindi ako makatakas. Hehe. As of now, I'm still not sure if she's strict or not, but what I know is she's kind of particular when it comes to attendance. (And this worries me, because she's my 1st period prof.) She even made us leave one whole column in our seating arrangement, and this column would be for latecomers in our class. I'M DOOMED. Haha.

PRODMAN (Production Management). It's cool to know that my prof here is a Christian, as in the same faith as mine. He inserts his experiences and testimonies from time to time when he discusses in class. Another thing I like about him too is Mr. Bolinao's a really humorous professor, kaya kahit papaano he doesn't make the class too bored in listening to him. Updated pa lagi sa latest news. Hehe. Mr. Bolinao is also my churchmate's (Tita Vi, who used to be a professor in DLSU) good friend. Being a quite quantitative subject (which, by the way, is one of my majors), medyo nakaka-worry lang na it's been three meetings already, and he hasn't taught anything quantitative yet. Well, we'll see about that. :)

BUCOTAX (Business and Income Taxation). My professor here in my law subject is a repeat-professor. Atty. Tomboc was my PARTCOR (Law on Partnerships and Corporations) professor last term, and obviously, I got her again because she's okay as a professor. Siyempre, I got a good grade from her last term, and this time, I am expecting the same, or even a better grade. :D

MANPERS (Personnel Management). Another one of my majors. My professor here is Mr. Paderna. Or is it a miss? Or whatever. Haha. I'm not really sure. Baka naman feminite lang. I have that to find out. I have a whole term (give or take, three months) to investigate. Hehe! Pero okay rin, Sir Paderna's makwela, so, so far, I don't get bored pa naman considering that the subject takes 1.5 hours. He also has workshop sessions, and I'm looking forward to it because mukhang masaya naman yun.

ENGLTRI (Advanced Speech and Oral Communication). A.K.A. public speaking. This is one subject I am taking this term that's quite unplanned. But anyway, let's not talk about that. My professor here is Dr. Lucas, she's the vice chair of the English Department of our school. My first impression: she's intimidating. (1) She has DR. attached on her name, indicating that she's an expert in the field, therefore having high standards; (2) She's the VICE CHAIR of the University's English Department. But. The moment she talked, I realized that she's not that I-am-a-sophisticated-English-goddess-so-bow-to-me-and-worship-me kind of professor. She's kind of reaching out to her students naman when she started discussing lessons. But. Two things I don't like: 1st, her voice. It's way too noisy and loud for me. Considering I am seated at the last row of the classroom, that is, before she arranged us alphabetically (which makes me seated on the 2nd row now). Call me rude and mean, but this is the only way I can make you guys imagine how irritating her voice is. Parang nag-e-English na palengkera. Ganun. But I'm not blaming her. Kung ganun talaga boses niya eh, so be it. I just hope she'll be nice to us to make up for her voice. Samaaaa. 2nd reason, she's easily irritable. Konting ingay lang, she'll shush us immediately with her matching "I am irritated" face. Haha. Pero comparing it to my other classes, looks like my English class would be a noisy class. Lagot hehe.

I have another subject, which is my Practicum subject. There's no fixed schedule, so we haven't met our adviser yet during this term. But we already know her, because she was our group's professor during our ENVSCAN (Environmental Scanning) days, and she was a panel member in our business plan defense (which by the way, got a grade of 93%, 3rd or 4th (ata) highest among 19 groups. Weee proud!). :D

Hello, second term. :)

Pampaganda ng blog page. Haha kiddin.

I stole from your Friendster, pare. (Just in case you drop by my blog. Haha.) I gotta see you dance again. Swear. Kailan pa yung last? When we were in 3rd year HS? C'mon. You've gotten better ever since, and I'm proud of you. :) Layo na ng nararating mo ha! Pero still, down to earth ka pa rin. Yes naman. Hehe. Thanks for the chat sessions, you always remind me that there's this Melman I can turn to when I feel like ranting or even telling great moments in my life. :) Can't believe we still keep in touch even if we really haven't seen each other for about two years na ata. Ganun talaga pag Jojo-Melmel tandem eh, noh? Basta mehn, thanks. I mean it. O, yung arranged marriage ha? Bwahehehe. Apir. Wuvyouuu Melman :)

I made this because..it's his birthday! Just a simple gift for a special person. :)

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MY MELVIN "MELMEL" (I call him that haha) MANALO! :D

The Power of Friendster

2007-09-07T21:46:00.000+08:00

*Breathe in, breathe out*

I officially have a stalker.

Classics 2

Classics Style

The Most Brilliant God's Creation

My Inspiration

These photos are on his Friendster account with those subtitles.

My Friendster Shoutout: "Hey there, I am a damsel in distress. Can you be my Hercules?" :)

His Friendster Shoutout: "I'm not strong as Hercules..But I'm willing to be your protector..Forever.."

OMG. Kamusta naman yun.

Whew, that was a lot to grasp. Flattering yes, freaky, yes. Sure, I've seen my photos appear on different profiles in Friendster that aren't mine (way back pa when I set my profile for the public to see, which I don't really do anymore) many times already (I got to know these from my friends who were once confused on which profile is the real one), but this person. This particular one. He's different. 'Coz I know him, but I also don't.

I found out about his profile (BTW, we're not contacts in Friendster, second degree friends lang) when I was looking inside my inbox. I was browsing through my old messages when I suddenly saw a familiar headshot, that is, my photo nga. (He sent me a message na pala before, during my birthday. He just sent a birthday greeting. Too bad I don't have the habit of erasing old messages. Haha.) Of course I became curious on who this guy may be. Kasi I don't remember na rin eh. Then it dawned on me. It was HIM. Itong tatahi-tahimik na bata na 'to pero may kras na pala kay yours truly. Hahaha.

We know each other, but we really don't. I mean, yeah. We got introduced to each other once, and I see him once in a while. BUUUUT. I didn't have an idea na lakas tama pala ako sa kanya. Haha. Graaar. It's really flattering. But at the same time, kind of scary. Because behind that I-don't-care-with-what-is-going-on-around-me facade, may ganung tama pala siya. Hehe. Seriously, he's one of the guys I "know" na sobrang galing gumawa ng front. Hindi obvious, grabe. Well, maybe because we don't really talk. Pero c'mon, but when you do talk to someone who likes you, kahit konti (even if you're not sure), you feel if something's different di ba? With this particular guy, akala ko talaga wala. Then I suddenly see my photos on his Friendster..Kamusta. Haha.

I just blogged about it kasi I just don't know how to act now when I see him or whatever (even if he doesn't know that I lurk on his Friendster too). How are you supposed to act normally when at the back of your mind, alam mong may tinatago 'tong mapagpanggap na batang ito? Haha.

Funny world. Tawa na lang tayo. XD

And dear, maybe you would want to know me more first, because maybe I'm not the most brilliant God's creation (though I was really flattered by that. Teehee), which you think I am. Hehe.

Then why is it I don't have one? :p

Psychoanalyzing Myself.

2007-09-04T23:36:00.001+08:00

Since I'm too tamad to update on what's new in my life now (mamaya na yun), here. I got this from Friendster. Haha. :)

Psychoanalyze Yourself:
Answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means.

(No cheating!) - Okay. Okay. I got it.

1. You are not alone. You are walking in woods.Who is with you?
- My special someone. Eeee *kilig* :)

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
- A deer. Si Bambi!

3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
- Something like Snow White's. Where the animals aren't scared to go near her. :)

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your DREAM house. How big is it?
- Uhm. My dream house is not appropriate if it's situated in the woods. Haha. So I'm just thinking of a small cabin, a cozy one. With smoke coming out of its chimney. Yung classic.

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
- Nope. Pero maraming colorful flowers yay :)

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
- I see lots of food. Tapos yung mga favorite ko pa. Like the house was really for me. :p Then around it are furniture and designs which are colorful and happy :)

7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
- Gusto ko mug. Yung may glittery water design outside it. Haha para kikay :p

8. What do you do with the cup?
- Pick it up and take it with me kung walang may ari. Hehe.

9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What kind of body of water is it?
- A flowing river. With crystal clear water.

10. How will you cross the water?
- Sugod ako. I like to feel the water. :)

THE INTERPRETATION:

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important person in your life. [Yeah, could be. Life partner ito, pare. :p]

2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life. [Ooh, so I have relatively smaller problems than other people? Siguro nga. I should be thankful :)]

3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. [Sooo..What does that mean? That problems aren't scared of going near me? Hahaha kidding. So I handle problems gracefully? Weh.]

4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems. [Haha. Ganon. I have a small ambition of solving my problems? :p]

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not to drop by unannounced. [So true. May colorful flowers pa akin, welcome na welcome! Hehe.]

6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy. [Yay! I have food! Haha. Bakit walang color? Dapat included yung color!]

7. The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship. [So ano yung akin? Matibay ang plastic ha! Hahahah :p]

8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude. [So I take everything as it comes? Haha gumagawa ng sariling interpretation, biased :p]

9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire. [Erm, pano naman, nilagay ko lang flowing river? Gano kalaki yun? Haha.]

10. The way you cross the water is representative of how easy or hard you expect your life to be. [I like this. So my life would be hard because it's never easy to cross a flowing river, but since I want to feel the water, okay lang kasi I'd enjoy every step I make. Yay :)]

Coolness. :)

Change of Heart

2007-08-29T16:39:00.000+08:00

[I may or may not feel this way tomorrow or in a week or in a month, but what matters is I'M FEELING THIS WAY RIGHT NOW. So the hell I care about what people might say about this, I'm just frustrated.]

Suddenly, I don't like to have my term break anymore. I don't want to be stuck at home, aaaaaah!!!! So I have to book myself with lots (and I mean LOTS) of activities, gimmicks and anything..ANYTHING!! Basta anything to keep me busy! I don't want to have daydreaming moments (I've had enough of my dreams na pag sa gabi and whenever I get to sleep), overdose na! I don't want to be tulala all of a sudden, and start thinking (overthinking) about things! Nooooo wayyy.

I swear, I'm gonna have camwhore moments this term break, and lots and lots of going out! Para naman feeling refreshed when I get back to school. Besides, 1 week of having lots of fun with friends won't hurt, right? [Sana lang I have the money to go with all the gimmicks, haha.]

P.S. The melancholic temperament isn't working for me, promise. The only thing I like in myself when I'm in my melancholic mode is that I'm obsessive-compulsive. YUN LANG. I hate it when I analyze things too much, when I get so depressed-prone, when I get too sensitive. Masyado na kong madrama. Yes, I know that. And friends (even my bestfriend) even call me "emo" now. Waaaah yuck no! It's just not me (Or baka hindi ko lang tanggap). Nakakainis lang kasi melancholics tend to think things through before they leap into something, and when they do, it's EXPECTED to have great results. And if it doesn't, ramdam sobra yung failure. Because you thought about it SO MUCH, only to end up that even if you put so much of your time weighing the pros and cons, you still end up as a failure. And that angers me. It angers me, because it goes with my being choleric. That I have to keep my pride up. So Joanne = Choleric-Melancholic? It just doesn't jive.

It's time to veer away from my melancholic side, before it eats me. Strong, grabe.

I used to be a Choleric-Sanguine. AND NOW I WANT TO BE THAT AGAIN. [Nostalgic lang, it was when I was in HS nung Choleric-Sanguine ako. In my 4 years of HS, I don't think I cried more than 5 times because of personal problems. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Because I used to see the brighter side of things, that there's more to life. Bakit hindi ko na makaya yung ganun? The more I become mature physically, I become immature emotionally? Ewww. Kawawa naman ako. Haha. If I continue being like this, naku, patay. And I used to be perky and happy and contented with my life (aaah craving for innocence) pa. Those were the times when I just lived my own life, not worrying about what other people might say.]

Tapos ngayon, because I get so much attached to people, I often base my decisions with my own, PLUS what other people might feel. Tama na yun. I need to be selfish now, at least now. Because I've been living so long in a way that I've been getting too dependent on others. Tama na drama sa buhay, icky na e. I believe in happy endings too much now, and it's time to wake up and breathe reality in. That not everything will have happy endings. Not for the meantime.

I'm choleric enough not to care, and now, I KNOW I'm choleric enough to NOT be a melancholic. Sanguine friends, let's unite! I'll be joining the club, soon. ;)

P.P.S. AND now, Jon's shutting down her life first. Dare to enter? Papahirapan muna kita.

Quotes Galore and What I Think About Them

2007-08-29T14:18:00.000+08:00

I'm in critiquing and commenting mode right now. So, here.

"They say nothing could last forever. Everything would have to end sometime. Although deep down inside I know they're right, here I am, still hoping against hope..That ours is an exception."
~ Haay. I want to be saying this to the right person. Sino kaya? Can't wait. :)~

"A simple thought to ponder: 'If someone wants to be part of your life, they'll make an effort to be in it.'"
~ Absolutely true. So, screw those who just come into your life and don't do anything about it! Hahaha. Pero meron din naman mga iba na even they don't do anything big, you still want them staying in your life. Weiiiird.~

"One cannot question the existence of feelings. They are there, raw and undeniable. But one can choose not to nurture what is felt. Yet, no matter what they say..What has been felt will always be more honest than what was chosen."
~ Aaah anobeh Ching, I love that quote. Haha. Thanks. It's truuue, right? Where you are right now and what you have chosen isn't always what you really want. Sometimes, we just have to go the other way, so that we wouldn't be experiencing too much pain. Problema sakin, most of the time, I nurture what I feel. I used to be a well-disciplined person when it comes to emotions. Now? Most of the time, I end up getting hurt. Haha. Don't ask. It's really weird, I think I have a mild masochist tendency (haha, seriously). I don't want to be hurt, but there's just this other side of me who can't live if I don't experience hurt once in a while. It's like I think that there's something wrong (or things are too good to be true) when everything's okay. Pffft. Well, I'm trying to be that well-disciplined girl again. I know I can be one. ;)~

"No matter how bad I feel, loneliness will fade and even disappear when I focus my attention in things I'd like to explore. There's a whole world out there and sometimes, it's better to have time alone to have the complete freedom to do them, without worrying about what other people will say. In the end, I don't really have to think of myself as a lonely person. Just someone who has been given some space to grow."
~ A very beautiful quote sent by Pat. I badly need this quote! Need to breathe this in and out! Have to learn this! Have to keep this in my mind and heart!! Really!! Hahaha :p~

"There are secrets hidden beneath their words. So don't let passion but wisdom decide for you. Love wisely, because it's never easy to love and get hurt."
~ 1st thought: This is a very melancholic quote! Doubts kagad. Haha. Well, if you look at it, it's really true. This just tells us not to trust anyone immediately. Take it slow. [I should learn that. Haha.]~

Enough. Haha. Til next time naman. :) On the lighter side of things, I just wanna share that masaya talaga kumain sa labas. Or basta, be with friends and family. I don't know when was the last time this happened, pero we had family time together last Sunday, August 26. Complete kami. Haha. We had lunch at Gourdo's at The Fort, pero originally, we were supposed to eat at Zong. Waaah. Kaya lang closed pa yung Zong. Anyway, too bad we didn't have our digicam with us, so no camwhoring. Boo.

Then nung August 27 (The Heroes' Day), Micko and I had tutoring at Magallanes (and I wasn't feeling great too, so it was better to go out). This was for our QUATECH final exam. Tawanan blues na naman shempre, what can we do? Baliw kami pag magkasama..Haha. Ate at Pancake House din, and we were supposed to have Starbucks naman after. Kaya lang, the Starbucks at Magallanes was crowded, so we decided to have coffee somewhere. So we went to The Fort (haha, balik na naman ako dun!). Nagbatobatopick pa kami kung saan ba, sa Gloria Jeans ba or Starbucks. If I win, GJ daw. If he does, Starbucks. I won. So GJ. Haha. Had kwentuhan sessions din about our pangaraps (Ang babaw nung akin no, kapatid? Masaya na ko pag ganun haha), mababaw man o malalim. Arrived the house at around 10, since we will be having finals pa the next day.

Gloria Jean's Coffee. (Starbucks pa rin wahaha)

Then yesterday, after having my QUATECH and PARTCOR finals, LJ texted me naman. Inviting me to have dinner at their place since it's his dad's 1st year death anniversary. Grabe, parang kailan lang. (I had a blog entry a year ago about this, click here.) But it's good to see LJ again, with his family. Her mom's really fine, and busy entertaining visitors. Marami din pumunta e. I saw Ate Manay (pero hindi ko ata nabati dahil I was getting food and she was busy too haha; with Ethan, baby boy. Ang laki na! and Kuya Chad, her husband) and Ate Tata (with Annica, her baby girl), LJ's sisters. And they were kind of surprised to see me there. Haha. I missed those people. I didn't see TJ though, hindi ko alam kung nasan siya. Mahirap magkakitaan sa bahay nila LJ e. Haha. We missed Ate Chel and Julia (her baby girl, and the 1st apo in the Ramos family) and Kuya Manuel (her husband), because they're now living in Canada. And I was also really glad to see LJ's cousin na naging close ko na rin, si Cousin Mike. Hehe. Apir. :) Gulat ka noh? Nice to see those people again. :) Pero medyo nahirapan ako mag-move around, because LJ's mom's friends and their relatives were the visitors, and ako lang yung friend ni LJ na nandun. Haha. The young amongst the elders. Hehe. But nevertheless, the food was good, and the company was good. :)

After the dinner, Micko picked me up at LJ's to drive me home, since gabi na. And since wala rin daw siya magawa sa house, he might as well have a roadtrip na lang. Hehe. Katipunan to Project 6 to Paranaque then back to Katipunan? Haha. Yun yon e. Sayang, we could've had gone to Eastwood pa to have eat all you can at Something Fishy, kaya lang hindi pa 12midnight nun e, and I promised my mom to be home "early". Haha. Mga 1030 ata ako nakauwi. :)

Weeee. Fun talaga when around friends. :) Tapos mas masarap talaga if may good food palagi! Hehe. :p

So there's the disclaimer up there, orayt? Don't expect anything much. Hehe.

I'm here in the DO so hindi rin ako makakapagblog nang maayos because I don't like the feeling that there are people behind me while I write stuff. Ewan ko, I just feel overly-conscious. Hehe.

So the hell week's finally over! Yay! :) I'm just waiting for next week now, for our finals. And after that, vacation baby. Yehey :) I have no plans yet, but I know that I'm going to enjoy my vacation because I've been waiting for the term to end for the longest time now. :)

So for now since I can't blog my heart out, check out my Multiply site for lotsa new pictures. And yeah, maybe you could check my newly-uploaded video too. Commercial yan. Hehe. And don't forget to comment! For my viewing pleasure :) Thank you folks ;)

Now the sun is shining. Pang-asar.

2007-08-09T12:21:00.000+08:00

I named her "Gitarrenspielerfrau".

(German for guitarist's wife, because I'm no football player's fan. :p)

Whatever the name of the last typhoon was, nang-aasar siya! DepEd and CHED finally declared yesterday that there would be no classes today, August 9 because of the rain and flood. And now what? The sun's shining. I can even hear people now playing tennis across our house. Just means that the day's too dry now. Pft. I was thinking pa naman that my day would be a bum day, because the rains keep on pouring, dito lang ako, maybe either snuggling with my pillows and blanket, or DVD marathon-ing, or drinking hot coffee. Whatever. Thing is, the day didn't go as planned. Sana umulan mamayaaa.

Our flooded Simon street.
(also posted on my Multiply site)

That was the scenario yesterday, at around 630-7 am. Since this kind of flood last happened 12 years ago pa, my sister (akalain mo yun, ang aga niyang nagising! Or it could be na hindi pa siya natutulog..Haha) didn't let this moment pass. She took pictures of our front gate, together with the flood. Ebidensiya siguro para masabing we have a reason not to be at work/in school, if ever may pasok. Pano naman kami lalabas ng gate no?? Haha. :p

I was tagged by Ching last July 31 pa (I knooow, it's kind of late already), but since I promised her that I'd do this after all the hectic days in school, here it is. (Now I'm beginning to think that God gave us this free day for me to be able to fulfill a promise to a friend, however mababaw it might be. Haha.) :p

In the 8 facts about [your name here], you share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then at the end, you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.
* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

(Okaaay, I got it. Parang redundant nung instructions. Haha.)

1. Whenever I wash my hands at home (particularly inside the washroom, not in the kitchen sink), I always find this need to wet my feet too. Hindi pwedeng hindi.

2. I have a cabinet in my room where I keep my own food (chichiryas, to be exact), to make sure that I always have supply whenever there would be an "emergency". Haha. As if food will run out in this house. :p

3. Drinking cold water in the morning would make my tummy bad. And it'll last the whole day. *_*

4. I don't like strawberry cakes, strawberry ice cream, strawberry stick-o, or any other strawberry-flavored food (except Rebisco's strawberry-filled biscuits). But I love real strawberries.

5. I have an arranged way of brushing my teeth, particularly the gargling part. First gargle, the normal one, where you just have to..gargle. Haha. Second, still the normal gargle. Third, normal gargle, then the gargle where we have to tilt our head to make sure everything's been washed. Fourth, normal gargle. Fifth and the last one, normal gargle, then the tilting head gargle. :p

6. When I fold papers (like my school handouts), I fold it in such a way that the text is on the outside part (unlike most people where they fold it with the blank page on the outside).

7. I follow what I've heard regarding the "anklet myth", that when you're anklet/s is/are on the right ankle, you're single. And if it's/they're on the left, you're taken. Care to guess where my anklets are? (Technically, I am _______.) :p

8. I still have my shorts which I wear when I was five (or seven?) years old, and this has been passed on to me by my sister. And I still wear it up to now. Haha. :)

I tag...Ariane, Bea, Jeline, Mae, Marian, Normi, Pat, Rhiza. :)

I want Starbucks. Now na. TARAAA.

My rantiest rant.

2007-08-05T02:18:00.000+08:00

I just feel like crying.

It's 2:30 in the morning, and I can't feel myself wanting to sleep.

I want to shout my heart out. My feelings, pains, frustrations, disappointment. But I just can't. Not in this blog, because this has been too public for me to put my most personal rants here. Hay.

And I'm too lazy to make a private blog (but I've been considering making one many times already).

I hate this. Suddenly memories come flashing back, and makes me more sad than ever. Sad because I know that they won't happen anymore. And if they do, it'll never feel the same way again, the way it felt the first time around. It's just really hard to explain myself. So it's not a problem if you don't read this post (because it's more of just having myself express what I feel right now).

And then there are those Friendster profiles. I just recently see myself lurking from one profile to another, and it made me miss the people I used to be close with. And seeing how they've changed. How they've changed since I started to be away (or kind of ). And it made me wonder more how they're doing now, without me in it. And it feels a bit depressing seeing those pictures, with their happy faces on it, like it wasn't really a big deal that I've been gone.

I am becoming paranoid, I know.

But sometimes, we just have these low times, right? So give me this moment.

I don't know since when, but I am becoming this person who finds it hard now to believe what people say to me. It's just like whenever someone tells me something (especially when it involves his/her feeling about something), I always think that there's always a hidden agenda behind all those words. It's just so hard to believe. Because when you do, you just find yourself tricked once again after believing and trusting.

I just want to bring back the days when trusting people wasn't a problem for me. :(

Chocolates, anyone?

2007-07-31T23:15:00.000+08:00

Oh my gaaash!! This is hell week for me..My main source of hatred towards academic work right now is my CONADEV (Contemporary Economic Development) subject!! It's worse than my majors, it's just pure..gaaaaah. TORTURE. We (my partner, Martin and I) have to submit our final paper on Friday already, and we're having super difficulties on finding sources!! WHAT TO DO! WHAT TO DO!! This is the subject I am so regretting. Why did I take this NOOOOW?? This term??? Gaaah. Ugh.

Another thing bothering me is our defense on Thursday. This is it!! Our business plan presentation! I am just nervous with the fact that Dr. Sarreal will be our guest panelist pfffft. She's just this prof with the "air of superiority" that whenever she's around, it's really hard to be confident. Haha. Why oh why did she choose us as her advisory group?? Aaaaah. (And yeah, I don't have stockings yet! Hafta remember to buy tomorrow!)

FINAMA2 final paper. Having a hard time dealing with my partner. Grrr. I just don't like it when I have to spoonfeed someone. To think he's a year higher than me. Ugh. Aynako, if he doesn't pass his contribution on time, byebye to his name on our paper. Gonna put mine lang. Justifiable? YES.

Oooh. I am so stressed. Chocolates, anyone?

Birthday DAY today!

2007-07-24T21:55:00.000+08:00

How cute. :) (Erm, Mark Parisi, whoever you are, I'm borrowing your cartoon. Hehe.)

I know five people who are celebrating their birthdays today. Cool. :)

Jason Hernandez (my brother's 15!!)
Tito Ed Miana (Camskee's dad)
Eia Silang (my co-DOP! 20 na!)
Jeana Santos (my co-pep dancer back in HS)
Shasha Narvaez (my co-pep din back in HS)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! *confetti* :)

"We've had enough hugs for the day.

But it doesn't always seem enough when we part ways."

Woooo. I am so stressed. HELP.

Who would have thought?

2007-07-17T19:21:00.001+08:00

JC Officers United.

Aliw. Just last Sunday, we had our Joy Club officers' bible study and I just can't help but take a picture of our feet, because they were all wearing black. :) Starting from the Chucks clockwise, the feet belong to Jovan (president), Marc (PRO), Ivan (PRO), Jeni (Treasurer), Jon (Secretary) and Pat (Vice-Pres). I looove my co-officers. Everybody's willing to work for Joy Club. Yihee, malaki na talaga kami. Hehe. :p

I just finished my part on the needed revisions for our business plan, though I am not completely done yet, because tomorrow will be another day for assigning each person to another part again. As I said on this album on my Multiply site (oops, you should be my contact to see it), major revisions would be made (Our business plan measuring more or less two inches thick was literally, and brutally murdered by our professor. Haha.). But it's okay, we're still enjoying each other's company and hindi pa naman kami nagsasabunutan. Hehe.

Because this week's going to be really busy for Loophole Inc., I am now having time management problems regarding my residency in the Discipline Office. Gaaah how will I able to complete my 5 hours residency this week? Company meetings for revision would be every MWF from 1030am to 3pm (bahala na kung may lunch in between hehe) starting last Friday (I think) to Monday next week, eating up my 5-hour break during MWF. Eeeh that's the time I do my residency eh. Bahala na si Batman, konti na lang meetings yun, besides the business plan's deadline would be on July 26 na. Oh God help us with our revisions. Haha.

Which reminded me of a text message. This was from a friend, Alvin.

"Bakit 'pag hindi niyo na alam ang gagawin niyo, laging ako na lang ang bahala?"
- Batman

Hehe. Which made me think. Where did that expression come from anyway? If you have the answer, I'd be glad to hear it. Hehe. :)

WHICH made me remember. Art in Advertising Seminars by Ms. Zamora of the Marketing Department is so much fun and interesting! (Graaabe, I have company meetings MWF 1030-3 and A in A Seminars MF 1250-220 GOODLUCK TALAGA SA AKIN. Discipline Office work pa. AND. Don't ask when do I have lunch. I can't answer that. Haha.) I initially thought that this would be "just one of those seminars" that we need to attend to for us not to flunk our Marketing subject. Pero I am surprisingly looking forward to the next sessions that we will have with Ms. Zamora. She's just really superb when presenting all the information. Like Ching said, she's already mastered her craft. I sooo love her na (pero mas idol ko si Mommy Elvie, haha!) and even though I do not really regret that Ms. Acosta's my prof (because she's really cool and funny too), I wouldn't resist if I'd be given a chance to become Ms. Zamora's prof (except for the fact that she barely gives grades higher than 2.0-2.5. Hehe.) :)

Some of the things I learned so far from Art in Advertising:

~ (This one I learned even before, but I wanna share this to you.) That when you talk to a person or ask him/her a question, when the person looks to his/her right, the person is "remembering the image", but if the person looks to his/her left, the person is "constructing the image". Which implies that most probably, he/she lies. This is a good exercise for you people who have girlfriends of boyfriends, it's time to test this one. Hahaha. :p ~

~ When you talk to someone and he/she usually looks up, the person is a visual person. If he/she looks around within eye level, the person is an auditory person. If he/she usually looks down, the person is a kinesthetic person. These could be applied on the style of learning, the visual person learns more through photos, charts, graphs, etc. The auditory person can learn just from listening to the lecturer, and the kinesthetic person learns more when hands-on experience is given to him/her. :)~

(And these are particulary interesting.)

Mightor

~ Mightor (if you remember him, I see him on TV before eh) is a tribal character. (Characteristics of the tribal: indigenous, celebration of nature and life) ~

Mighty Thor

~ Mighty Thor is an ancient character. (Characteristics of ancient: manifestation of power; perfected the use of fire and metal.) Sooo that's why he has some kind of metal hammer as a weapon. Haha. ~

Wonder Woman

~ Wonderwoman is a hellenic character. (Characteristics of hellenic: focused on harmony, balance, peace.) Is that the reason why she's a girl? So guys are not harmonic, balanced, and peaceful? Haha. :p ~

Yoda

~ Yoda is a medieval character. (Characteristic: Talked a lot about God and hell.) Erm, how is it connected to Yoda? Sorry, not a Star Wars fan. :p ~

Batman

~ Batman is a gothic character. (Characteristics: Darkness; alienation) Yeah, he's dark. But still cool. :) So that's where Gotham City came from. :) ~

Superman

~ Superman is a renaissance character. (Characteristics: realistic; happy; colorful) Opposite of Batman, Superman's really full of color. I love him. :) ~

Spiderman

~ Spiderman is a baroque character. (Characteristic: distortion) One way to see this characteristic is Spiderman's poses on pictures are usually "grotesque". This is according to Ms. Zamora. Ikaw kaya, mag-pose ng ganyan diba?? Hahaha. ~

Spawn

~ Spawn's a rococo character. (Characteristic: Opulent; full of embellishment) I am not familiar with this character (or I could have forgotten lang), but ang cool he's definitely rococo. :) ~

~ James Bond is a classical character. (Characteristic: Singularity of message) Yeah, James Bond IS James Bond. ~

The Droids

~ The Droids are modern characters. (Characteristic: self-expression) It's really obvious from these characters. And the one who made this clearly expressed him/herself. ~

Hulk

~ Hulk is a minimalist character. (Characteristic: Repeated message) Since the drawing's minimal, you just get the same impression everytime you look at it. You don't usually get new insights/observations on the character each time you see it.

~ Kato's an ethnic character. (Characteristic: identity; distinguishable) We must not be confused between ethnic and tribal. Ethnic is more specific, you know where the character came from. Pero I don't know how he (the one at the back ata is Kato) became an ethnic character. I don't know him kasi eeeh. Haha. ~

I'm excited for Friday's Art in Advertising. Have to remember to bring a camera, for the notes! :)

I just can't get enough. :)

2007-07-16T00:24:00.000+08:00

Shrek2's soundtrack "Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows is stuck on my mind!!

Weekend has passed, and I still have no idea if I have overlooked any homeworks. Why? Because I haven't looked at my "My Evil Little Plan(ner)" yet! Because the past week had been very, very busy, ayoko na muna mag-acads! Forget about it muna. Hehe. Relying on my stock knowledge, wala naman akong homework na naaalala (oh please let me be correct). :) And since I got to have time off, I had a blast during weekend. :) Nothing special na pinuntahan or whatever, I just got to spend my time with people worth spending time with. :)

*Current mood: Overjoyed :)*

Hay, hay, hay. :) You know the feeling pag in love? Ganun. It's just like everything is pretty. Sana always na lang ganito, para no worries. Hay nako, don't mind me first, I can't blog nang maayos. :p

*Presently trying out mom's newly-purchased brand new Vaio laptop*

Amazing, I love it. I have to have a smaller version of thiiiis! :) And less agawan na with siblings, because the router's working well. Ayyy I love love. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENZTOT (Benz Bermudez) AND SUGAR DADDY JAKE (Carlo Pondevida)!!! Hehe. Mwaaaaaah! :)

Life's Remote Control

2007-07-09T19:06:00.000+08:00

Joanne, you can simplify your life by cutting back at work.

You're a career-oriented person who's not afraid to log some long hours to get the job done — and done right. Your peers admire your drive and creativity and nothing feels better than hearing your boss or clients compliment your work. But, you know, if you glance out a window for a minute, you'll notice that there's a whole world going on out there, and you just might be missing a lot of it.

While it's great that you're so committed to your career, you've got to make sure you're not forgetting about friends, family, and fun. We know you've got bills to pay and goals to attain, but don't make work your whole life. And if you just can't figure out a way to scale back your hours, then at least make sure you're planning a nice vacation — without your laptop or cell phone.

How Can You Simplify Your Life?

Brought to you by Tickle

---> I just decided to take this test because I'm interested on what the results could be. And there it is, above. Yiiiikes. Am I THAT workaholic now?? Sure, I get stressed along the way, buuut. It's like I just can't find myself enjoying "too much" (maybe too much for me isn't really too much naman) when there's so much more to dooo. Parang nakaka-guilty that you're out there, having fun etc but at the back of your mind, you know you have something to finish?? Gaaah. I was never like this when I was in HS. College lang nag-manifest yung workaholic trait ko. Hm, is it because I value work more now, or talagang dumami lang yung ginagawa that I was forced to be workaholic? Help. So, I was recommended by this test to take time out from work. Anybody want to date me? :) Hehe.

---> Then I took more tests. Haha. (O, this is taking time out na ha! :p) Among all the questions I encountered, I particularly found this one below very, very interesting. :)

13. If life had a remote control, which button would you rather hit?
a) Pause
b) Record
c) Rewind
d) Fast Forward
e) Eject

---> That was a really hard question to answer. :) It took me about 2 minutes to come up with an answer. Hehe. Definitely, I wouldn't choose eject. Though there are times wherein I really want to give up because of all the pressures around me (and kahit internal pressures!), I don't want to push "eject". Life's too much fun to just let your life be ejected from this world. :) Fast forward? I don't think so. Mga moments of humiliation, pwede pa sana. Buuut, yun lang eh. So I still won't choose it. I was left choosing between pause, record and rewind. Record, yeah. It would be nice that you get to remember everything you want to, pero I don't know. Parang it just didn't appeal to me that much. Between pause and rewind, I chose pause. :) It was a hard decision to make ha! Hehe. Rewind kasi, it's nice to go back to those times wherein I felt really happy, or even really sad. It makes me appreciate more what I have become now because of my past experiences. :) Perooo, pause pa rin. I wouldn't be given the chance to go back once my life starts to "play", but at least I can freeze moments. Unforgettable moments. Moments that I wish would be just there. Siguro a reason why I chose this is because I lack this too. I mean, if a "moment" comes my way, I oftentimes just let it pass..without me savoring each moment. I look forward too much most of the time, that I tend to forget to enjoy the present. So now, I have to learn to appreciate a loved one's hugs and kisses (without me being ilang haha), to just stay really focused during heart to heart talks with friends, to be proud of every thing I accomplish. To just be there, in THAT situation, whatever it may be. :)

I chose the PAUSE button. What's yours? :)

I found the urge to blog even if it's 9:08 in the morning and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Haha. Excited for what's in store for me today, 07/07/07. :)

UAAP 70th season starts later at 1pm! This is it! Comeback of the De La Salle Green Archers. Now bigger, and better! And yes, I'll be there at the big dome, cheering them on ;) And call me a loser, but I'm about to watch Transformers pa lang later (which reminds me. I have to check the theater scheds!). Who cares? I'm just going to watch it because everyone who has watched the movie said that it's worth it. Kahit na hindi ko naman talaga plano manood, sige na rin. *Erm, peer pressure* Haha. :D

Lucky, lucky..she's so lucky. :)

Saan nga bang song 'to? With that line above? Haha. Naku, if I remember it right, sa dance rev yata sa Playstation. Haha. Aww I miss playing PS. Pft. Wala lang, I just felt taking pictures of anything last Wednesday. :D

This is it! This is it!

Went inside CSB, and I took this shot. Haha. This poster is displayed in front of their Student Publications Office, where everyone who passes by would be able to see this green (nice nice color!) congratulatory sign. Woot woot! Patingin na nung sinulat mo! Even Ching wants to see it, kasi pangarap din niyang maging writer. :)

I still get support from these gorgeous friends, even online. :)

Thank god there's YM. Last Thursday, as I was stressing over (with my YM status as "I. AM. DOOMED.") on my midterm paper which was due the next day, windows came popping up every once in a while. Messages which made me smile, because these friends of mine (despite they were kind of disturbing me from my work haha :p) were concerned enough to check on me every 10 minutes or so, if I was still doing fine, if I already ate dinner (or midnight snacks!), if I need help, or by simply just telling me "Kaya mo yan, Jon! Go! :)" Hay. I love love love you people. :) The midterm paper didn't go as planned, pero the time spent chitchatting with my friends was well-treasured. :)

But this one gave me the biggest smile. :)

Akalain mo yun? A YM status solely dedicated for me? Haha. Thanks Kyle, sweetheart ka talaga. :)

Jon, now signing off to do ENTRES business plan with my meangirls colleagues! :)

CSB student wins sportswriting tilt

07/03/2007

Wilfred Evan Jotojot, a student from College of St. Benilde, won the firstever PBA-PBAPC National Sportswriting Contest held last March at the Araneta Coliseum.

Organized by the PBA Press Corps and supported by PBA Commissioner’s Office through Media Bureau chief Willy Marcial, Jotojot bested-more than 40 participants from different schools in the country to bag the P20,000 cash prize.

Josiah Israel Albelda of UP-Diliman copped the second place and P10,000 while Jiorg Michael Atutubo of Centro Escolar University placed third and pocketed P5,000. All winners will receive certificates from the organizers.

Awarding will be on Friday, July 6, during halftime of the battle for third place between San Miguel Beer and Red Bull also at the Big Dome. Winners are requested to come early. The three winners may reach Hazel Ancheta at the PBA Office (638-1815 to 17) for further queries about the awarding.

(From "The Daily Tribune" website, http://www.tribune.net.ph/sports/20070703spo3.html)

Yes, folks. He won the FIRST PRIZE. :) Super duper proud of you waaaah. :) Ang galing galing. Who would have thought that he'd win the P20k?? I don't think he even expected it. The contest was on March pa, and who would have thought that after 3 months or so, bigla na lang may P20k jan na lalabas sa harap niya? Eh kailan ka lang naging writer Jov, ha? College lang? Truly. You had it in you. Tama na ang pagka-talented. Hehe.

Asked him, the contest daw was, the participants were made to watch a PBA game (tama ba?). Then in one hour, they should be able to write an article (a gamestory, that's what I remember texting me Jov) and submit it after the allotted time has finished.

So, that was challenging. But since this guy over here is a really good writer (na feeling niya hindi naman daw), siyempre, he deserved the most-coveted 1st prize. Yiheee. :) I want to be there pa naman during the awarding, that's how proud I am. Kaso I have a quiz on that day and time. Pft. *Isipin ko na lang, nandun ako! Hahaha*

I haven't got a hold of what he wrote on the contest yet, but I'm sure it was really great. Yan ang napapala ng mga procrastinator noh dear, mas expert gumawa ng article pag may time constraint. Hahaha. :p

Such a big, big blessing. :)

Congratulations Princey! :)

We're All in This Together :)

2007-07-02T20:16:00.001+08:00

OMG I am laptopping and wireless Internet-ing! :) Mom bought a router para hindi kami (siblings, including my mom :p) mag-aagawan on who will use the net. Because of this router, I can (1) surf all the way baby even if I'm in my room, and (2) Ate Marian and Jason wouldn't be pushing me away from the pc/laptop when it's their turn to use the net. Whoopee. Technology, you are sooo great. :) *as excited like a child getting his 1st roller coaster ride*

I can't believe it's the midterm exam week already! I'm already half done with the term, and lo and behold, sandali na lang, it'll be another term! Another enrollment, another schedule, new sets of professors and classmates! And counting my days left in DLSU, I only have 3 terms (or 9 months more or less) to savor every moment I am inside the campus! To enjoy with friends, love and treasure my DO work, and shempre, to explore whatever it is that needs exploring pa in my school! Like the Marie Mutien hall, hindi pa ko nakakapasok dun ever! And the famous black gulaman in a bottle drink sold at Z2; hindi ko pa siya natitikman kasi parang itim na nga, feeling ko pa lasang goma pag ininom ko hahaha. The Andrew building, hindi ko pa na-eexperience yung library dun! Or the study halls there. Hindi ko pa natitikman lahat ng pagkain sa Agno (haha accomplishment yun pag nasuyod ko buong Agno at nakain lahat ng binebenta dun :p)! I have less than a year to complete and accomplish everything! Huhuhu *I don't want to graduate!!!!*

Moving on, I just want to share to you feefol that I recently acted on stage! After how many years (4 or 5?), umarte ulit ako sa stage! It wasn't really big, but one of my hidden passions is to act or dance on stage. Basta I like performing too. :) Unlike Rach and Pat who are really exposed to these kinds of activities, ako medyo underdog ako compared to them haha. But whenever there's an opportunity to act on stage, promise yayain niyo ko, hindi ako tatanggi! Haha. Basta I'm also fond of watching stage plays, and the like. It's like I always imagine myself as one of the characters. :) So yun na nga, I acted for our SPS (Student Personnel Services) Variety Show, wherein the Discipline Office is a part of. The theme was "Kabalikat" or something close to that, so our office thought of having a simple stage play with a simple plot showing the theme for the SPS Week. It's a really cliche story where there's this rich family with a matapobre dona Corazon and her husband Felipe with the kids Miguel and Lisa, living in a barrio. Tapos surrounding their house were poor families, including the family of Nelia, with her husband Toto, and the kids, Bokbok and Poknat (I knoooow). The story would be the rich family's house would be on fire tapos they'd be left with nothing. Even if Dona Corazon is matapobre (tama ba? I'm having this thought that matapobre means poor haha. A basta, I'm using matapobre with the definition na walang hiya :p), the poor families help them out, and Nelia and Toto even volunteered that the rich family live in their house for the meantime.

It's a really simple story. Pero the point here is, I acted after many years!! Hahaha. Originally, I got the role of Nelia, the poor mom. At first, I wasn't that excited because: UNA, it's so hard for me to act poor (yeah, tinatawanan nila [my co-DOPs] ako kasi nagrereklamo akong hindi ako marunong umarte ng mahirap at parang inaapi), and PANGALAWA, I don't want to wear a bestida. Wahaha. I know, mababaw and maarte, pero kasi at the back of my mind, I wanted more the role of Dona Corazon, the coniotic, mataray, bungangerang Dona of the rich family. Originally, the role was Camae's. Pero after two times (or was is once lang?) of practicing, they found Camae to be really mahinhin in portraying the role of Dona Corazon. So ito na ako, I volunteered myself to take the place of Dona Corazon! And really, it suited me more. Hahaha. So swap kami ni Camae sa role. :) And I remember having a texting session with Mike, we talked about the play. I was talking about how happier I am on getting Dona Corazon's role, pero I also told him that I wasn't really satisfied with how I acted on that one day of practice, parang kulang pa kasi sa effort. But hindi ko alam kung nanttrip si Mike, pero I considered it as a compliment that one of his text messages said "Bagay nga sayo yung role mo e, maarte ka rin kasi." Wahaha. Really, I had no hard feelings. Natuwa pa nga ako e. Kasi yeah, I admit. Maarte ako. And I love it. :p Hindi naman maarte in a way na annoying na e,l that's what I think. Hahaha.

What happened to the SPS Variety Show play? It was really a success! Among the offices under the SPS, kami na yung pinaka-unique because most of the offices were dance numbers lang, and it was kind of hard to see pano na-incorporate yung theme dun. Pero, some naman were enjoyable. :)

After pa pala nung play, we dance the famous High School Musical dance, "We're All in This Together".

Congratulations to us, DOs and DO Paragons! :)

[We have pictures ata from the DO cam, will post them in Multiply later on :)]

I had a hard time.

2007-07-02T00:00:00.000+08:00

Since I reaaaally don't have time to blog yet, here. Pampalubag-loob. :)

Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well and state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

a. I enjoy eating spaghetti more minus the sauce. Hehe.
b. I am inlove but not really.
c. I like arranging my clothes according to the colors of the rainbow. (Pero hindi siya nakaayos ngayon because our helper just puts my clothes inside my closet after labahan and after ironing. Pft.)
d. Ang laki ng tiyan ko (kahit sabihin niyong hindi) :p
e. I really don't like waiting, pero pag pinaghintay mo ko, hindi halatang naaasar ako. Haha.
f. I love snuggling and cuddling with people I love (I think about it most of the time), but I get ilang when they start being affectionate to me. (Which shows that I really am contradicting)

I tag:

Ching, Cla, Mae, Bea, Aeda, Ariane :)

I love you, daddy. :)

2007-06-17T00:46:00.000+08:00

To my daddy dearest, this is for you. :)

My daddy is pogi. He never seems to look old, really. :)

I owe a lot of things to my dad. From the hatid-sundo when you're just too tired to commute, from the allowance you get from him every week, to just being a great dad to me and my siblings. :) Thanks dad. Thanks for being there for us. You've been a really good dad; and I see it because I know a lot of people who don't have dads, or have dads but their dads treat them harhsly. You're the silent type father, someone who doesn't say much things, but we all feel the love and concern, because your actions show us. Thanks. But I want you to be more outspoken sana when it comes to my (our!) lovelife. Haha. ;) Do I really want that? Ewan ko. Pero I love you just the way you are. Maybe I just want myself to see you telling me "Anak, I'm praying for you and your future life partner.", or "Anak, invest your emotions to someone worth it, I don't want to see you get hurt." Hehe. :) But other than that, I know that you really keep track of what's happening in my life (and of course, Ate Joy and Jason's too). Besides, I don't want you not being a part of my life's highlights. :) Thanks for believing in me. I'll always be your little girl. :)

(From the Internet, recited this poem to dad last Father's Day 2006)

MY HERO

As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without compromise
I recall many times he stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn't endure.
It's true, a few others provided insight,
Yet he laid the foundation that kept me upright.
He's the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although he's not royal by stature or birth.
He's a man of great dignity, honor and strength
His merits are noble and of admirable length.
He's far greater than all other men I know
He's my dad, he's my mentor, my friend, my hero.

I love you daddy. :)

LoopHALL

2007-06-13T21:48:00.000+08:00

Oo, na-murder yung company name natin. Instead of Loophole Inc., our ENTRES adviser calls us LoopHALL Inc. Nyahaha. Can't help but laugh talaga everytime he says it. Ang weird kasi e, so pag sinasabi niya yung word na "hole", he says "HALL"?? Di ba? Naku, ang mean. Pft. Tama na hehehe.

Tomorrow's our plant visitation and teambuilding na! I can't wait to get it over with dahil ang tagal na dapat yun! Summer pa dapat yun eh kaso lang of course nag-lakwatsa ang adviser namin so wala. I am half excited and half nervous because hindi ipagkakaila na alam ko namang I'll be nominated sa "Nomination Night" namin. Suuuuper responsible kasi ng groupmates ko, as in naaamaze ako na wala silang nakakalimutan! Bakit ganun..Wahaha. :D So god bless na lang sa amin. Nyehehe :) And oh yeah, susunduin na rin ako ni dad tomorrow sa Ortigas after the activity so I won't have to worry on commuting late!! Yehey :)

Ay basta, I'll enjoy na lang the day tomorrow because I only have one class! Yipee :D Free cut ang MARKET kasi. And, more time sa DO! Hindi na ako nakakapagresidency, I miss them na. Haha. :)

Will be resting now, pagod na ko feeling ko magkakasakit ako e. Wag naman, plant visitation bukaaas! -_-

Week End

2007-06-12T17:40:00.000+08:00

I am craving for Goodah!'s TAPSI!!! As in I was sooo tempted to go down to Goodah! while I was on the fx to buy my craving. Pero, I didn't! Haha I still have control over myself *sometimes* :D Maybe because I haven't tasted Sinangag Express (I KNOW, loser na ako) food kaya Goodah! level pa lang ako :p

I missed the sand!! And sun! And ocean waters! :) The last time I had my beach escapade was May 14-15 pa, at Anilao, Batangas. Until my family and I together with my parents' friends and their kids went to Punta Fuego at Nasugbu (tama ba?), Batangas last June 9! :) Not so much swimming was done, kasi super init that day! As in while you are sitting under the trees on your chair, you can feel the HOT wind. Weird nga, because the hot wind comes once in about every ten seconds. Hindi siya constant hot wind (buti na lang, kundi heat wave na!). Super lazy day rin yun so I just slept through half (?) of the afternoon sa ilalim ng trees, in a duyan. That was the life. Hehe :) Accompanying the bum moments were of course, camwhore! One of the camwhore pics ay ayang nasa taas, with my sister, Marian. Besides camwhore, there's eating too!! As in EXCESSIVE eating! I wasn't able to contain myself, sobrang kain ako ng kain kasi there was just too much to devour! And parang nakakalungkot kung hindi ko siya makakain lahat! Hehehe. And one thing's for sure, I know I haven't eaten that much hotdogs in my whole life until that Saturday!! May marshmallows kasi e! I really really love yung hotdog-marshmallow duo! Kahit roasted or prito pa yang hotdog, basta may marshmallow, mas masarap! :) And there were mountains of chips, overflowing seafood (giant hipons, my favorite!), unlimited supply of coke, crunchy masarap chicken fingers, supposed-to-be sweet corn (haha), and so much moooore! I really love days like those, talagang stress reliever. :)

Joy Club Officers (according to hierarchy haha): Jovan (president), Pat (vice-president), Jon (secretary), Jeni (treasurer), Ivan&Marc (PROs)

AND after the Punta Fuego day, I went to Las Pinas naman at Jovan's house for the Joy Club (youth group in church) Officers' Planning. It was an overnight thing, so I had fun together with my co-officers, and of course, Jeline, Fredjohn and RJ! :D Puro kain na naman, so whew! Enjoy na naman ako!! Merong roasted chicken (with the champion MANG TOMAS!!!), chocolate cake from Red Ribbon super yummy and may ganun dahil sinabe ko na bumili dahil nagccrave ako haha, Dunkin Donuts munchkins&donuts, banana split and chunky mocha-flavored ice cream (tama ba?) from Tita Vi (sweet! Pumunta pa talaga siya kila Jovan to deliver the food), and so much more as in! Haha. The meetings were draining talaga, because we had lots to think about. It's not easy to make objectives and plan activities for the year, you know? And this time we really felt the burden to be really serious because dati we were just these kids who follow whatever the church leaders tell us, but now, hindi na ganun. We were given more responsibilities now, and we are becoming one of those church leaders. Pero, working is fun when you're with your friends, and shempre, God's giving us the wisdom and strength to continue on with SBC's mission. I'm sure Tito Bob is smiling at us now. Look Tito Bob, the Joy Club kids are growing now. Just the way you like it. :)

So because of those, I literally had no weekend sa house. Nakakapagod tuloy. That's why when I went to school today, I was medyo quiet and blah. Siguro because I lacked rest? Sobrang I don't know, I wasn't in the mood. The DO people noticed siguro yung "stoic" mode ko, because Ms. Joey asked pa if I was okay and if may sakit ba ko. Hehe. Hay. Sana mawala na to (I don't exactly know kung ano ang dapat mawala because there's nothing wrong with my life now, no problems, etc), I wana be happy and bibo again.

Oh yeah, Happy Independence Day to all! :) Tangkilikin ang sariling atin (pero Ingles ako nang Ingles dito hahaha) :D

Da Who?!

2007-06-07T23:03:00.000+08:00

THE RULES:

1. Write something about 15 different people.

2. You CANNOT say who they are. (This is the fun part hahaha)

3. If someone asks you which one is about them, YOU ARE NOT TO TELL.

Game? GAME! :)

1. Really. I thought you already got your happily ever after. I was sooo envious of you for having such a really really great person with you. Not that I wasn't contented with what I had, but inside of me, there was just something not right. I guess we ended up with the same situation, but hey girl, who knows? We might be really really happy in the future. With or without them. :)

2. For a moment I thought I liked you. Haha. Because you reminded me of someone big in my life. And let's admit it, you're a really nice guy. But good for me, I immediately came to my senses that no, that would not happen. Nakakatawa, because I used to have ilang moments when we talk or you sit beside me pa. Pero I admit that it's nothing really serious, and I've found out from someone that you're really crushable, so I won't blame myself for liking you for about..a week? :p

3. I don't know why people misunderstand you. You are such a great person naman. Inside-out, you're beautiful. But I guess you haven't fully realized it yet. And other people, too. Ako personally, I really love you for who you are. Even if it means you being unpopular. You will always be one of my favorite friends ever. I love you :)

4. Did something really happen? For a period of time, I thought something did. You were just scared to admit it. And I guess I was too. Andun na e.

5. Til now I am so really guarded pa when I talk to you, even if we already consider ourselves as really close friends. We have been together for years now, but there's just something in you that quickly changes from time to time. I'm not sure if you already had inis moments with me, nonetheless, I still care. Magulo lang sometimes, that you are this person when you are with me, and you are that person when we are in front of others.

6. Ano ba talaga kuya? Yes or no? Do you really respect me? If you do, please listen to me. Stop thinking of yourself, your needs and your wants. I don't know what's happening now, so just please make everything clear. Ang labo e. And stop saying those words. I am tired of them. You can't afford to hurt me now brother. At least not for now.

7. I fear our friendship. Honestly. It's like I really feel the cold aura between us. Like a silent war. At times I want to see you getting hurt. But there's still this part of me who wants to listen and make myself understand everything. This big passion to be a part of your life. But it really is difficult for me now, because I don't think I know even at least half of our story. Tama na ang sobrang pagtatago.

8. Minsan nagtatampo ako kasi you get more attention than I do. Tapos you get these people's attention pa when in fact I should get it. Pero it's not much big of a deal kasi wala naman akong grudges about it, parang weird lang. And because of you, I have to prove that I could be a better person. Because if not, maybe people will see me as a failure.

9. Sino ka bang talaga? Alam mo kahit matagal na tayong magkakilala, I can honestly say that I really still don't know you. It's like I think you choose your stories, and you have so much there that you can't talk about. Pero kahit ganun, you are still one of my friends whom I treasure so much. Feeling ko makikilala lang kita kung masstuck tayo somewhere na tayong dalawa lang (sige, magsama na rin ng few friends haha) for at least a month. I honestly feel that we have so much in common e, hindi pa lang natin alam yun.

10. I just read your letter from years ago. Bigla ko lang siya nakita when fixing my things. And that letter really made me smile. Sobra. I can't believe that you were THAT sweet, because hindi halata sayo e. Hehe. Those short years with you made me realize a lot about love, life, and friendship. Nakakainis ring isipin na napaghiwalay tayo. Too bad sobrang bitin yung time na binigay satin ni Lord. Well, at least for me. But I know he has a purpose for that. And when we see each other again in the future (who knows), I can't wait to reminisce all those memories with you. You are one of my favorite persons when it comes to deep conversations. :)

11. Grabe, you've changed a lot. And I love it. Pero meron pa din akong hindi gusto, but it's just something minor (at nakakatawa). And nobody's perfect anyway, and hey, why should you change it just for me? So no big deal. Basta all I know is we will be finding our special someone, together. You are teaching me a lot of things now, and I love the fact that we are learning together. How can you tell that you like someone na anyway? Because I really don't know now. Haha. :p I guess we have to figure that out pa, together. :)

12. Huy, umamin ka na. Feeling ko siya talaga e. I so want to know you more, pero ang hirap ng circumstances now. I just get information from you mostly online because we don't get to talk naman, and I know that those information are not enough. I really feel that you have been hiding your feelings for years now, and you're scared to admit it because it's like you are stuck being "this" person to him that it becomes so hard for you to let him believe if ever you decide to tell the truth. Well, that's what I think. And most of the time, I am right. I can't blame you, he's worthy to be liked naman e. And hey, I also miss one of our girls pala. :)

13. Grr. Bakit hindi na matanggal inis ko sayo? Wala ka na namang ginagawa sakin. Maybe it's because that something you did was very big that it would make me "hate" you for the rest of my life. Or not? I am so praying to God not to be mad at you anymore, because I know that the Lord doesn't like it. And hey, I am a Christian and I shouldn't be feeling this. *Oh God please give me the strength to love this person!* And as far as I see, I just want to tell you not to waste your life because you are beautiful.

14. What a big mistake you had there, dude. Pero it was God's will. Don't pity yourself for doing the wrong thing once in your life, you will sooner or later see the bigger picture God has made for you. Ikaw kasi e, matigas ulo. Yan tuloy. Hehe. Pero I still love you for being a part of my past, present, and who knows? Baka future din. And most probably that will happen. Because we will work this out. Walang iwanan. :)

15. Hindi na kita nakakasama ha. Where art thou? I need kwentos. And hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin malinaw sa akin kung ano ba talaga nararamdaman mo. Joke lang ba or seryoso? Hindi ko talaga ma-figure out. Kasi naman we've been together mostly joke time, and you used to give me those jokes. So don't get me wrong if matawanan kita pag seryoso ka na. Sorry na ha? You don't drop enough hints rin naman kasi e. I kind of understand though, because konektado ako sa kanya and konenktado ka din sa kanya. Pero bottomline is, malabo talaga. Hehe. I miss you. :)

Wish ko lang mahirap and hindi obvious yung mga ginawa ko. I think I did a pretty good job naman. Malusaw kayo sa kakahula. ;)

Not just another schoolday. :)

2007-06-06T22:19:00.000+08:00

Wala lang. I decided to be vain lang. Haha. :)

That photo actually has no connection whatsoever to what I am about to blog. :p Sabi ko nga, para lang ma-fulfill ang vain attitude ko right now e. Moving on, after transferring notes on my CONADEV subject and after typing and proofreading our ENTRES Risk Analysis part of the Business Plan, I should be studying right now for my 1st QUATECH quiz tomorrow. But heto ako, nagbblog. Can't help it, today was just so blogworthy. Haha. And I really want to make my blog alive again. Bwahaha.

First off, I just want to share that today was my FIRST TIME this term of being late for my class! My 1st class was on 920 am, but I arrived at school 20 minutes after the period started. So at least not considered absent pa rin diba?! And beating me was this classmate of ours with the name Ryan. Mas late pa siya sa akin! Haha. :p

I am so happy that the SRP (Student Representatives Pool) booth is now up and running! :) I've been stressing over it for the past week now, because I was the assigned recruitment team head. AND I knew about the position last week Wednesday lang, then the supposed start of the recruitment week was the Monday of the following week! So we only had technically TWO DAYS to plan everything! From the design, materials, reservations, everything! Sino ba namang hindi mararattle nun diba? Add to that, shempre my academic workload pa! So forgive me lunch buddies (especially Ching) if hindi ako talaga masyado nakakasama nun. This week, I haven't had lunch for the past two days (and including today, but this is a different story). But this morning, when I finished my 1st class, I decided to pass through Yuchengco lobby before going to the DO to check if okay na ba yung booth (since we started setting up yesterday and iniwan ko si Benz dun because I had class na), then to my surprise, Monna and Istine were already manning the booth! I was so relieved kasi bawas trabaho na yun (since I still have an unfinished business with my Minutes of the Meeting sa DO haha)! Super thankful talaga ako for Benz, because all throughout he was the most active team member that I had. :) If not for him, I would have given up na siguro. Thanks Benz. :) And of course, I wanna thank all the DOPs who helped with the preparations. Jess and Archie for the application forms. Ava for the bookmark flyers. Angel for helping me with the SRP letters. Thanks to all guys! :) If hindi kayo tumulong, I don't think I would accept another appointment as head in another activity again. Haha. :p The no lunch times, long residency hours and really bad headaches paid off. Really. :)

Did I mention that I didn't have lunch today? Yeah. Sobrang tipid ko this week ha, hindi na ko nakakapag-matinong lunch. Hehe. Somebody's been nagging me na to eat lunch, pero as much as I try to, I really can't kasi kapos sa oras pag kumain e. Haha. (Here's the workaholic Jon again!) I had this DOVCDP (DO Values Clarification and Development Program) General Orientation with Ms. Joey and Ms. Christy nung UBreak, so no lunch. Since one of my special assignments in the office is the DOVCDP, I should know kung ano ginagawa during the activities. Yeah, the DOVCDP of the DO is the program responsible for handling students with offenses (mostly major). Para lang you would understand what I'm talking about. Hehe. So there, I co-facilitated Ms. Joey and Ms. Christy. The formattees (students with offenses are called as such) were about 10 ata, and isa lang yung girl. So that proves that guys are more pasaway. XD Haha. Any violent reactions? Wag na kumontra, it is generally true. :p The orientation was quite stoic kanina, since this was the 1st time the formattees met each other, at the same time these students were only forced to be there. Part kasi ng sanction nila yung being there e. So you can really feel the "close-minded" aura pa, pero habang tumatagal these students become more open-minded and sometimes, they so enjoy the program to the point na they become close to the discipline officers. :)

Hala, humahaba na yung entry ko. Haha. Bilis lang to. This is one story na hindi pinapalampas, and I even told Ching kanina that *this* is really blogworthy. Hehe. It was during our ENTRES2 class kanina, when Sir Harvs told us to bring out all the handouts he uploaded the day before yesterday sa egroups. I don't know kung anong klaseng ihip ng hangin ang dumaan sa class namin, pero out of 40 students, 12 lang kaming may dala nung handouts. Well, the PRCBMG schedule and the procedures for registration handouts, that is. So medyo napikon na si Sir big brother. Per group, he asked if sino yung mga walang dala. So for every group he asked, majority of the members ay walang dala. Since we are the meangirls and we are so good, all of us sa group may complete set of handouts. Kami lang yung complete. (Super points kay Harvey!) Hehe. :) So what he did was Harvey sent all the 28 students out of the classroom and made them wait outside kung saan sobrang init while he discussed the handouts to us, the remaining 12 students. :p Well, it really pays to be responsible in his class. :D

And singit lang before I end:

PHOTO LIMIT IN FRIENDSTER IS NOW 100 PHOTOS!!!

Joy, joy. :)

Back to School

2007-06-05T16:59:00.000+08:00

Feeling ko tuloy wala na akong karapatan mag-blog. Helloooo May 11, LAST POST. Read, BELOW.

Almost one month of not posting blog-worthy posts! Pfft! How am I supposed to tell them all in one post? Super nobela na yun, and I don't want to bore my readers. Haha.

I don't exactly know why I don't blog that much anymore (besides my overrated excuse that I am busy, OH YES I AM), when in fact whenever something happens to me, I think of my blog, and I suddenly imagine myself typing away making kwento about the story. But no. I suddenly had the urge to blog now because medyo na-konsensya ako ni Pat when she told me last Sunday "Jon, bakit hindi ka na nagbblog?" It's like because of my busy sched (kasi focused on studies ako yeees), friends get more updated when I post blog entries. Kasi most of the time when I tell my stories in person, hindi ko natatapos because I am either (1) preoccupied doing something, or (2) I am about to do something and because of that hindi ko makwento nang maayos yung story. Haha. :)

So now, I am in the process of finding the path, the "WHY" I am not blogging that much anymore. I'll let you know when I find out the answer. ;)

So, school started last May 23. Aga no? Good thing pa rin, because at least I am not a Mapua person. Haha. :p It's my 14th day of school, and yes, I am busy na. Ano ba magagawa ko if we are being fast-forwarded for academics? So far, I am enjoying school and until now, I CAN' T BELIEVE THAT I AM GRADUATING NEXT YEAR. I am now a Junior-Senior! Since usually 3 years and 1 term lang sa DLSU..Hehe. I can't believe that I already got the kit for my yearbook! Can't believe! Can't belieeeeeve!!! I don't want to graduate..Ang bilis sobra! Kailan lang nung I was a Frosh, and I felt so nervous whenever I go to school, tapos ngayon ID107 babies are born na!! Nooo. Speaking of ID107 babies, DLSU is soooo overcrowded! That's what I think. Simula nung start ng class, DLSU became mroe populated e! I wonder how many Freshmen were admitted..Ang sikip na sa La Salle eh!

O tama na, I'll share na lang my subjects and profs. Simulan ko na ritwal ko every term, that I make kwento about my classes. :)

Monday-Wednesday-Friday

920-1020 CONADEV (Contemporary National and Economic Development) - My prof was supposedly Mr. Castell. This is one of my "napilitan" subjects. Haha. Because I am supposed to take this pa during the last term of my existence in DLSU. Pero I took it na rin kasi this was the most available subject, and wala na akong makuha because ayoko pa galawin yung remaining floating subjects ko. Para na yun sa last terms ko in DLSU. And I took this because I have five co-DOPs here! Si Ken, Joan, Martin, Brian and Jess! Kaya masaya na rin. The not masaya part was there was a change-prof. So now my prof's Ms. Paulynne Castillo, which, according to her is she is the "gorgeous prof of the Econ department". Yeah, right. Haha. Okay, she has a nice body, pero erm. Ay basta, hindi na lang ako magsasalita! Haha! Baka like Ching, makita pa to nung prof! Hehe! :D She teaches okay, pero what I don't like is the discussions become dragging because of all the people reciting! Kasi the prof is the "I want everyone to recite and participate" kind of prof, na kahit no sense na yung nirrecite nung iba kong classmates, she still allows. Kainis. And there are those few classmates who take all the recitation points for themselves, pft. Nakakainis, plus the teacher's pet know-it-all. Haha. First time ko nga nakita si Jess na super bait and patient na mapikon, kasi naman THAT classmate of ours is really pikon-worthy. Hehe. :p

230-330 ENTRES2 (Entrepreneurial Research 2) - Prof is still Mr. Harvey Ong! In fairness, I am learning to appreciate him and his bubbly nature. Pero there are still times that he becomes so OA and obsessed with all those Filipino reality shows na nakakainis na kasi he incorporates them in the subject to the point na he thought of doing the "Pinoy Dream Academy" style during release of quiz grades, where he would make the bottom 10 (10 lowest scorers) stand on the platform. Haller, nakakahiya kaya yun? What if ganun lang talaga yung capacity nung tao? There are some people na talagang kahit nag-aaral, hindi lang talaga matinik yung memory eh. Poor them if Harvey does that style. And yeah, unlike last term, Loophole Inc. (our company) members are complete na sa class na to! Hehe. Yay :)

340-440 FINAMA2 (Financial Management 2) - My prof is still Mr. Edralin Lim, the same prof I had last term for FINAMA1. I chose him kasi even if he's boring, okay lang coz at least I would be able to follow the flow of the lessons from FINAMA1 to FINAMA2. In fairness, he teaches more compared last term. Or feeling ko lang yun coz I listen more now? Haha. And yeah, wala pala ako kilala sa class namin, except for the groupmate I had last term sa FINAMA1, the nakakainis groupmate na walang ginawa. Pft. Guess what? He's now my groupmate AGAIN for this term's project paper. Good thing the project paper's not really a group work, we give contributions of our own lang (with our names on it!) and we compile it lang as a group. So kung hindi siya gumawa ulit, hindi ko na problema yun. At least the project can still be completed without his work. Hehehe. Evil ko. >:p I just don't want grabehang free riders.

450-550 PARTCOR (Law on Partnerships and Corporations) - My prof is Ms. Juris Tomboc. One of the most-loved professors belonging to the COMLAW Department. Now I understand why. Haha. Unlike most law subjects, Ms. Tomboc isn't strict. As in sobra. Ang lenient nga e. She makes the students recite in a way na hindi na nga forced recitation, she allows reciting pa by reading lang what is on the book. Sobrang dali mag-recite, that sometimes nakaka-bore because I keep on comparing the teaching style to my previous law subject prof's (Sir Heffron in OBLICON) teaching style na Sir Heffron calls you and you're forced to recite or else you will not receive a good grade. And, Sir Heffron doesn't only ask you a question, but you will be the focus of his questions for the next 30 minutes of the period. He also doesn't allow reading the answer directly from the book. He wants you to explain in your own words, and use your own example. Now, that's law. But don't get me wrong, I don't hate my PARTCOR now, I just find it quite light for a law subject. I've always seen law subjects lang talaga as something big. :p

Tuesday-Thursday

1120-1250 QUATECH (Quantitative Techniques in Business) - Instead of Mr. Halcon (my COMCALC prof) as my prof, change-prof again so it's now Mr. Jeden Tolentino (my COMP2BU prof from last term). Kahit may change-prof, I still appreciated it kasi I've already proven that Sir Tolentino's teaching style works for me, kahit na monotone, stoic and boring pa siya mag-discuss. Hehe. Maybe it's his OC nature din yung nagpa-reconcile sa aming dalawa. Hehehe. So far, I am enjoying the subject kahit na this was the subject na kinakatakutan ko nung summer pa, because they say that this is one of the most difficult subjects in my course. I hope this enjoyment in the subject would last for the remaining 12 weeks of my term. ;p

240-410 MARKET1 (Principles of Marketing) - My prof is Ms. Jhoana Acosta. She was a Scholastican too, and I was surprised that her little sister is my batchmate in St. Scho too. :) A super bubbly prof, grabe. Parang hindi nawawalan ng energy. And I appreciate her for that. Because I can say that our class is a bit energy-less. Haha. Hirit na siya ng hirit, hindi pa rin kami nagrereact masyado. Ang hirap nun ha. Hehehe. And maybe one of the things I won't forget with this prof is that she went to our class having the ogre antenna stuck on her headband. Ang cute. Hehe. :)

There. Inantok ako mag-blog. Hehe. I REALLY REALLY hope that I'd be able to update more regularly!!! Gaaah!!

Days going too fast!

2007-05-11T22:11:00.000+08:00

Kasalanan!!! 11 days akong hindi nag-blog! Could you forgive me? I used to have the excuse that I am so hectic during schooldays, and now I have another excuse! I've been busy too this week! Because of DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School) at church and the LPEP (Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program) DO Lectures for Freshmen! Huhuhu sorry Silver, akala ko ma-uupdate na kita.

Well anyway, lots have happened na rin which are blogworthy, but it would be more advisable that you also look at my Multiply site because photos tell more than words, I think. Haha :) And nakakatamad na rin medyo balikan yung mga nangyari and tell everything about them. Grabe, ganito na ba ako katamad? Haha XD

I have a very favorite favorite over super dessert right now. And I'm eating it almost everyday during dinner and lunch. Guess what? BANANA SPLIT! Oh, the heavenly taste of ripe bananas, condensed milk, chocolate syrup, a handful of cornflakes and 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream..Aaaah. Grabe. If only this would be the antidote para tumaba na ko, I'd eat this everyday! Right now I am super busog because the ulam was sinigang, so shempre I ate 2 servings, then banana split! I had 3 big bananas and 5 scoops of ice cream anak ng teteng talaga! Sobrang laki na ng tummy ko. Can't help it e! Hehe :D

I sooo not miss school. I mean, the academic side of it.

Pwede bang wag muna pumasok? 12 days to go before summer vacation ends. Pft!

POST-Birthday POST.

2007-04-30T21:04:00.000+08:00

Pffsh. In my two years of blogging, I haven't had a birthday post pa ATA, as in on April 29 mismo. I'm not really sure and I'm too tamad to check. Haha. :p But anyway, at least I am blogging about it the day after hehe.

Know what? As far as I can remember, this has been my simplest birthday evah. :) As in no hubaloos such as ice cream, madami food, balloons, friends coming over, and all that shebang. But does it mean I didn't have fun? Nah. This has been the simplest, yet one of the grandest birthdays. :) I'm glad that even if my birthday didn't turn out the way I imagined it to be, I can say that this has been one of the most unforgettable. :)

Topak ko lang siguro, but I remember I told this to one of my friends that whenever my birthday comes, I treat it as a really special day, a day where I want to be THE PRINCESS. It's like I own the day, that everyone around me should be kneeling and praising me..Well, not really. Haha. Pero you get the drift; akin dapat yung araw. But the day yesterday was a whole lot different. And it's through this that I was able to learn something, that it's not always about me. (Wow, am I seeing the choleric Jo again? Bumabalik na yehey!) No swimming party, no birthday gift from family, but still. I am happy. :)

I love birthdays. It's when you get to appreciate more your friends, that you become aware that they are thinking of you, that they remember it's your day. :) 12:01 am pa lang ng April 29, text messages kept rushing in, and it'll last the whole day. Birthday greetings from close friends, not-so-close friends, even acquaintances. Ain't that touching? They know my birthday! Add to that, nakakatouch din yung old friends, the ones you rarely talk with (or never talk to again since HS graduation!), tapos all of a sudden some unknown number texts you and greets you a happy birthday! *I wonder where they got my number?* Hehe. It's like a mini-reunion, that because someone celebrates his/her birthday, an opportunity to keep in touch with old friends is given. :) Tapos, you appreciate all your friends even more dahil ang dami nilaaaang naggreet! Yung tipong pagod ka na magreply and mag-thankyou to all their messages and greetings, mapa-text, Friendster, Multiply, phonecall or even sa personal! Pinaka-gamit na word mo talaga is "Thank You!" hahaha. And, up to now, kahit April 30 na, may mga iba pang pahabol greetings, plus the nang-aasar friends reminding me that I'm already 19 at greet pa rin ng greet. Hahaha.

And to recognize my top 5 greeters (meaning they were the first 5 people to greet me!) heto na. Hahaha :)

1. Mr. Wilfred Evan "Jovan" Jotojot!

a.k.a "Macho Gwapito"..Hehe. He was the 1st one to greet me, called me up sa cell. Actually when he called, it was just 11:58 on my clock. Haha. Pero umabot naman ng 12 midnight na nag-usap kami, so technically he was really the 1st one. :) A friend for 7 years, I've seen this guy grow and mature. Can't explain, but really, God has blessed him with so much, tignan niyo na lang ngayon, poging-pogi na. Hehehe. ;) Thanks Princey/Bodyguard/Labs, marami pa tayong joke-joke-an siguro na names na mabubuo for each other, and I am really happy that you're part of my life. At least for 7 years. And we're still counting. :)

2. Mr. Oliver Cheong!

This was where I first experienced being "super touched" on my birthday. Kasi of all the people who could greet me first, Oliver was one of them. Second greeter pa! To think that we're just new friends. Oliver is now my co-DOP, he was recently accepted to the DO. :) I remember pa that I was the one who interviewed him for his initial interview when applying for the DO, and now he would be my co-worker starting next term. Thanks Oliver! I hope to know you more, and welcome to the DO family! :)

3. Mr. Hector Macapagal!

Wala kami pic na kami lang. Hehe. Hector's the one with shades. :) Isa pa tong mokong na nagpa-touch sakin. Like Oliver, he is also new to the DO family. But he's one of the 1st people who greeted me. Aww. I used to see him lang din sa DO, meeting the application requirements. Tatahi-tahimik, pero hindi naman pala. And yeah, he loooves flooding my Multiply too. Hindi lang pala Multiply, pati inbox. Hahaha. Peace man. Thanks for all the comments and text messages, I am sure we appreciate it all. I'll be looking forward to more bonding sessions and laughtrips with you! :)

4. Mr. Timothy John "TJ" Dumapig!

Jovan's bestfriend, and certainly one of my favorite buddies. :) We've also known each other for 7 years now, and still, TJ's the same old makulit friend that I know. Lots of things have happened which "kind of" tested our friendship (note: his bestfriend, my bestfriend + relationships haha), pero sorry na lang to all those series of unfortunate events, prens pa rin kami ni TJ. And that'll be forever, dude. ;)

5. Mr. Raymund Christopher "Archie" Dineros!

a.k.a. PBB a.k.a. Papa Bear ng Bayan! Hehehe. :) One of the mga "bibong bata" sa DO, this guy never fails to make the DOs and his co-DOPs smile. Such a charming person, basta pag nanjan na si Papa Bear, happy na! Thanks for being who you are Archie, many people are inspired by your personality, especially your charm. *ehem* Haha :p Napaka-carefree, that people around you just feel light pag nanjan ka. Tuloy lang Papa Bear, and hooray for being a super great P.R.O.! ;)

(And of course, pakilala na rin natin ang numbers 6-10 haha):

6. Mr. Raymond Patrick "Micko" Del Rosario - a.k.a. my kapatid! :) Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to him also! Yes, we have the same birthday. He called me up sa cel, so we greeted each other haha. Pero mas gurang siya sakin by 1(000) years. Nyahaha :p Salamat sa mga laughtrip sessions (mapa-personal man o online o text), insomniac memories, crazy escapades, at labuan moments kapatid! Magdiwang tayong lahat!! Hahaha anlabo, sugo! Nyehehe. (Bakit ba pag ikaw na pinag-uusapan, nawawala ako sa ulirat?? Nyahaha. Sayang hindi ka umabot sa top 5, wala ka tuloy picture! Hehe! Next year, next year.) :p

7. Ms. Rovy Jarvis Malasan - aha finalleh! A girl! :) I was super touched that Ate Rovy remembered my birthday. I never expected that she'd be one of the 1st people to greet me. I remember pa that she was busy when she texted and greeted me. But still, she found the time to compose a birthday message for me. Aww. :) This girl is a great great warrior of God, I tell you people. Idol hands down. I hope to have more bonding sessions with you Ate Rovy, and we miss you at church! :)

8. Mr. Philip Norman Young - Polyp! My blockmate. :) Haha. A close friend of Micko! Another unexpected greeter! Kasi we're not that close, pero one of the 1st! I miss C36 memories Philip! Hope to be able to go out again with you and Micko and Carlo and kung sino pa gusto niyo isama!! Hehehe! :p

9. Mr. John Kenneth "Ken" Ramos - a.k.a. "bes". Hehe. Grabe, I just realized tuloy na I'm kind of fond of calling my friends with different names. Haha. Anyway, another co-DOP, we've been calling each other bes because..really, I don't remember. HAHA. Basta, it just came one day. Ken was one of my 1st friends in DO, nung mga panahong wala talaga akong kilala sa DO. He was one of the approachable makulit persons during the panel interview when we were applying pa for the DO. And now, our friendship has blossomed and he considers me now as one of his "true friends". Yes naman. And oh, he's an April baby too, he just turned 21 last April 27. *Apir bes!* :)

10. Ms. Clarissa Ann "Cla" David - my C36 blockmate and present ENTRES groupmate! :) A kulasa at heart din! :) Also one of my friends I really treasure. I remember that we became friends because we discovered that we both come from the same HS (though she's from St. Scho Pampanga and I'm from St.Scho Manila). Iba talaga pag kulasa. Right Cla? :) Latest memory with her? The MOA gimmick! Hehe. Had fun spending the time with you Cla together with the girls. I know there's more to come. Loveyou girl! :)

Yes. So there we have it. My top greeters for this year. ;)

And of course, there's more! All the other greeters! From the 1st greeter to the last, all of you have received my heartfelt THANKS. :) Sobra. Walang pinaka-special and least special greeter, what's important is all of you touched me on my birthday. :) You guys made my birthday EXTRA, EXTRA SPECIAL. :)

Shucks, I am so blessed with so much people who love me. :)

Breeaaaathe.

Ooh. This is my 305th blog entry. Niiice. Biro niyo, I've managed to post 305 entries since March 2005? To think that I'm not the "I love to write so so much!" person.

It's 1:52 AM on my clock, and in less than 23 hours, I'd be turning 19. Oh yeah. How exciting. Haha. Hm. I dunno, I should be happy right? Lalo na that my friends remember my birthday. And I could attest to that, because as early as a week before Sunday (my birthday), they have been constantly reminding me that I'd be a year older. Gah. Hehe. But really, I appreciate it. It isn't too big of a deal if someone remembers your birthday right? But still, I appreciate it. Lalo na yung mga hindi ko masyado nakakausap, pero yun pala they remember my birthday. Aww. I love you guys :) You'd be part of my greeter's list on my birthday post ;) Hehe.

Uggghh. Wala lang. I'm just not in the mood to think creatively about what to write. I'm just so restless right now, so pardon me for the incoherence (if magkakaron man).

I just feel so bad right now, because I can't help but think how people can be so stubborn. (Hey Ching! Lookie! I am blogging about something I am feeling ON THE SPOT! So like you! Hehehe). Yung tipong hindi lang makuha yung gusto, magagalit na? Err. I admit that I am also stubborn at times, pero not to the point na masasabihan ko na nang masama yung taong nagpa-badtrip sa akin. I'd prefer to shut my mouth na lang. It just makes me think tuloy that that certain person still keeps me as his/her (okay let's protect this person's dignity) "friend" because nakukuha pa niya gusto niya. What if hindi na? What if I'm tired acting so patient and giving him/her what he/she wants? Wala na? Friendship over? Ganun na lang ba? Isn't that what you call a user? Diba friendship means sticking with that person through thick or thin? Respecting each other? A two-way relationship? Eh what's happening now? Parang parasitism na e. Getting what he/she wants even if it means I'm suffering. It doesn't matter if I suffer, as long as he/she gets what he/she wants?? Kamusta?? Knock, knock. Do you know what you're doing? And you have the nerve to get mad at me for not giving you what you want? Er. I duno if you read my blog, but if you do, this is what I really want to tell you. I just really can't when we talk because you would never listen. I know it. I don't really care now if you think that all this time, I still haven't changed. Wala na akong magagawa. YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THINKING LIKE THAT TOWARDS ME. I know all my friends love me for who I am, and I know that I am NOT the kind of person na akala mo. Remember that. So stop telling me na "hindi ako marunong mag-isip at nandadamay pa ko ng ibang tao". And yeah, don't use "leche" when you talk to me. It's not nice. And, JUST TO TELL YOU. Your bestfriends love you so much, ang galing nila para tumagal pang nagtitiis sayo. Ako, nagtitiis pa rin, but I just can't accept the fact na the very people who care for you so much are also the very people who you hurt so much. Is it because you're confident that they won't leave you no matter what? You can think that way, coz yeah it's proven anyway that they're true friends. But let me tell you this dude, people do give up too. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY FEEL ABUSED. Alam kong matalino ka at naiintindihan mo ako. It's just that you have TOO MUCH PRIDE TO ADMIT THAT YOU'RE WRONG THIS TIME. Sinong nagturo sakin mawala ang pride? Who keeps on giving me advice about swallowing my pride? You're one of them. So don't you go around being proud that you know these things kung ikaw mismo napakalaki ng pride mo. Ano bang nakain mo at naging ganyan ka na? Umayos ka na.

I should do this more often, Ching. It's a stress-reliever. But I'm afraid that this could turn into a hate blog. Haha kiddin'. ;)

OOPS.

"Okay. I'm sorry. Things just have been so lazy lately. After the frequent pressures we have been experiencing, I just can't help but enjoy the days I have left. I am sorry."

-- Para kay Silver my blog.

Hehehe. Yeah I know, I've been ignoring my blog since April 9, my last post. It's been a while since I last visited my blog, literally. I go online everyday, but I don't find myself clicking the link to blog. I dunno why. It's been the 14th day of my summer vacation, and lots of things have already happened. But I just can't find the interest to write about them in my blog. Maybe because there's my Multiply site, where I keep track of my summer highlights through pictures? Now I see why we are called the "visual generation"..Haha. Or imbento ko lang yun?? Hehe!

Hay where to start? Where to start? Hm. Maybe I can work my way backwards? Or not. I duno, magkkwento na lang ako. Hehe. XD

--> Okay, it's only two days before my birthday. Now what? Honestly, I don't have any plans. I don't even imagine myself enjoying on that day. Well, I originally had plans. But everything went down the drain since that Sunday afternoon where my mom and I talked about it. I asked her and my dad if they would allow me to have a simple swimming party with my church friends (since my birthday would be a Sunday, it would be a good idea that after church, I'd bring them all home XD), just a simple pool near our village. And of course, I got a "no". I asked why, my mom told me that "she doesn't want to be held responsible if something happens". Since I wanted so much to celebrate with friends, I assured her that nothing will happen and "hindi naman kami magtutulakan sa pool". But I still got no as an answer. My sister even defended me by saying that "Hayaan niyo na, ang laki-laki na nila e. And birthday naman nya yun e." (I was really touched by what my sister did. :) Actually, I sooo appreciate it whenever she does that) So being a stubborn daughter (believe me, I am), namilit pa rin ako. Then my mom told me that "Gagastos na naman, may bago ka na ngang phone". (My mom recently gave me a new phone as an early birthday gift. It was a surprise). I told her "Hindi ko naman pinabili yung phone e." Then she immediately told me "Sige, eh di ibalik mo sakin." Right then and there, I really wanted to return the phone. I dunno, but I just felt hurt at that moment. Don't get me wrong, I understand na ayaw nilang gumastos pa, pero honestly I prefer pa spending my birthday with my friends and family than having a new phone for myself. Besides, it was a surprise present. I didn't really want it. So I can't blame myself if I wanted something else. O_o

--> And think about it. I used to have a Motorola L6 phone, then my mom gave me a Nokia 6070. All the while I thought that finally I'd have two phones, one for my Sun and one for my Globe (w/c I know my dad won't approve. He strongly told me na "one phone only" when I was pleading for an extra phone). But moments after my mom gave me the new phone, she told me that "Ibibigay mo na kay Jason yang Motorola mo ha." I was like "What?!" Kasi I really don't want to give that phone up. Not that I'm selfish or whatever, but I just valued that phone so much and dahil lang may kapalit na siya na hindi ko naman hiningi, mawawala na siya sa akin? And lately I've been thinking, isn't a gift something given to you na walang kapalit?? I've been given a new phone, but I have to give up the other one?? So parang exchange yun..If you look at it closely, parang yung kapatid ko pa yung nagka-gift, coz he received something without giving up something. Pffssh. I don't know. It just makes me..Blah.

--> On the lighter side of things, I am happy that Benz and I have been warming up on each other again. Okay wag magmalisya, we're just working our way up into being friends again. And I mean FRIENDS, not just co-workers sa DO. Not the type that we talk because we HAVE to, but we talk because we enjoy each other's company. Yes, we've been talking (mostly online) since the start of the year, but we only talk about our Econ class where the two of us are classmates. But thanks to the DO Teambuilding last April 20-21, circumstances have been very cooperative. Unresolved issues and concerns have been brought up again, and I am glad we were able to talk about it again (dahil it has always been there since December last year!). Ms.Jen, kung ikaw man yung may pakana nung activity na yun, thanks! We really needed that. :) Sorry's and thank you's were given, and we both agreed that it'd be better if we start again. And this time, as friends. Hehe. :)

--> To Benz, I dunno if you still visit my blog (since that day you saw my Valentine's post last year hehe), but I want to thank you for everything. I really don't know specifically what to thank for, but I just wanna thank you for being you. The whole package. Astig ka, I love your personality and carefree nature. Hindi obvious (haha hindi grabe) pero whenever you're around, nabubuhay lahat ng tao. There's just something in you that's so special, na you lighten up people when you're around. Nakaka-amaze. Baka dahil sa kabaklaan mo?? Hahaha joke lang. We all know na sadyang vain ka lang. :p I duno, my thanks is the only thing I could give you. Coz I have nothing more to offer. Thanks for opening up during the bonfire, at least things have been settled. :) And, I'll never forget our "ketchup debate" haha. Ang banana ketchup ay banana, at ang tomato ay tomato. Walang ketchup na pinaghalong banana at tomato okay. Imbento ka. XD And yeah, yung favorite emoticon mo oh --> XD. Hahaha. Be more visual brother, maaapreciate mo din yan. Hehe. Here's to a better start and deeper friendship. *Cheers* :)

--> You won't believe it friends and countrymen, but while I was doing that thing above, Mr. Bermudez (a.k.a. the person I was talking about above) messaged me in YM para mangulit ulit. Haha. Talk about coincidence. Now that proves the text message quote that "human minds are linked through neuron activities that when you're thinking about that person, mostly probably he/she is also thinking about you". Yehes. Haha.

--> I am currently addicted to Friendster surveys. And it's not good. It gives me headaches once in a while, but still, I answer them. Maybe it's because I rarely get to talk to my friends nowadays and give them updates about my life (read: CHING!!!) kaya nalalabas ko lang through answering them. Haha. Oh wel at least more people get updated when they read my Friendster survey answers. :p

--> For the past 2 weeks, I am also getting the hang of online shopping in Multiply. Compared to Friendster surveys, this is all the more not good. It's baaad. It's worse. I get so attracted to different items, that it just enhances my quality of being an impulsive shopper. Graaah. Help me. Help. Me. But why is that those very things that you know you shouldn't really be addicted to are those same things that you so enjoy doing? Pft. Parang bisyo. If I get scolded for buying too much, I can say that at least hindi ako addicted to drinking or even smoking. ;p Haha. Excuseees.

--> How can people be so insensitive? I mean, ikaw ba, if may taong may ayaw sayo, hindi mo ba naffeel or napapansin? Diba you feel it naman? I duno, at least I do. I just don't find it very touching na if a certain person keeps following you around, after you telling him his limitations. Okay, yeah I appreciate all the efforts, but kung hindi ka pa talaga ready magpaligaw ulit (or talagang you don't find him as a potential boyfriend) , bakit ba parang namimilit pa rin? Grabe. For the record, he's inviting me to have dinner with him, and I'll treat it na lang daw as his birthday treat for me. And he's prepared something pa daw. Noooo. He shouldn't have. Seriously. Hindi po ako makukuha sa mga ganun. Hay. Just please understand?

--> I can't wait for May! Skip my birthday, it's okay, I just want May to come! Because I'll be busy by then. DO work, here I come! :) I'll get to see my co-DOPs pa who are super fabulous friends! Hay I love love love you guys :)

--> And of course, I am so looking forward to May 13-14! Anilao baybeh! With HS friends :D Can't wait!! I miss you mean girls! ;)

--> I am so loving the song "I know Him by Heart" by Vonda Shepard! It keeps me motivated to really wait for my special someone :) Hay. Here are the lyrics, and my favorite parts are emphasized, though I love every word in the song :)

There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes him real someday

'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart

Am I living in an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
'Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that he'll be waiting
So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then

'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart

No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart

Yes. I know. It's beautiful. ♥ :)

Babalik ka rin.

Huy grabe 12 days din pala akong hindi nagpost. Tuloy-tuloy eh. My last post was about hell week, and it was REALLY one heck of a week. Akalain mong marami na nga kayong papers na issubmit, inulit niyo pa yung isa? As in start from scratch! And yes, that was our FINAMA paper. We had to have 4 financial statements to analyze kasi, and all those four should be from the same company. Kami naman, yung nakuha namin it was ALMOST the same company. Ang mali lang is yung 1st 2 years ay RFM, then the last two years were Swift financial statements. The problem was subsidiary ng RFM yung Swift, so yung values sa FS nung RFM billions tapos sa Swift thousands lang! And we only realized it the day before the submission of the paper. So hanap na naman kami ng new set of FS! And I tell you people, hindi madali maghanap!! Inisa-isa ko yung listed companies sa Philippine Stock Exchange website just to look for financial statements! Whew. Pero to make the long story short, we were able to pass our paper before 5pm on the day of submission. Good thing pinagbigyan kami ni Sir Lim na magpass before 5. Thanks Sir! :)

After the last day of our hell week which was April 4, di na ko naka-blog coz I was so tired dahil sa kulang na kulang na tulog kaya natulog na lang ako. Hehe. Then the day after that we were off na to Batangas for our church's family camp. We just got back last April 7. Whoo ang sayasaya nung camp! Then April 8 siyempre church and I slept again kasi bawi sa mga nawalang tulog ulit! Hehehe! Hay sarap talaga matulog! And since it's Araw ng Kagitingan Day, I'm free! Pero aral na ulit later dahil may apat na final exams pa ako!! Raaar grabe ang tagal ng pasok namin..Hehe. Pero oks lang. Masaya naman. :D

O sige, I'm off na! Nakiki-singit lang ako kay mom habang may kausap pa siya sa phone. :) I'll be telling my camp stories on my next post, abangan dahil ma-pictures ito!! Yeah! :)

Wanna know why this week is called HELL WEEK?

I want ice cream..Now na! Grabe, I am so craving for ice cream! And kung kailan pa ko nag-decide bumili ng caramel hot fudge at Mcdo (which I occasionally do) kaninang lunch time, hindi ako nakabili because sira yung ice cream machine! What luck..Hehe. One pint of ice cream I want!

I am sooo feeling the summer vibe. Whoo! But..I still have so so SO much school work to do! Nakaka-inggit yung mga bakasyon na! Pfft. But oh well, I’d rather be going to school than be depressed at home noh, no money pa..Hahah. I am looking forward to our family camp on April 5-7 though, konting bakasyon muna before finals week comes! :) We already kind of planned on our fun night on the camp, and we will be having costumes. Nabunot ko is soldier! So I’d be wearing a soldier’s uniform. Weee I’m excited! :)

Moving on to a more sensitive topic, of course it’s really obvious on my recent previous entries that I am still not so okay with..you know. I still cry myself to sleep most of the time. Gosh, I’ve become such a melancholic. Choleric side, where art thou? I miss you na. Please come back! And, something really dramatic happened on his birthday. Now, I am stuck with a promise that I’d rather have to myself, though some of my friends know this. And starting today, I’ll try not to involve “this” in my blog anymore, because I really really want to move on now. Good luck na lang sa kanya and sa future nila. Hehe.

So there, I’ve said it. NO HEARTBREAK STORIES ABOUT HIM AFTER THIS LINE.

Hehe.

Oh, last Saturday too, BMS (Business Management Society) hosted a party at One Esplanade entitled “Spectacle”. Okay naman siya generally, but I didn’t so enjoy the party. Walang camera e! Pfft. Hahaha. Actually, I had a camera. Problem was, wala yung memory card inside! Tinanggal pala ng sister ko. Tsk tsk. So I just went there to watch the Mr. and Ms. BM pageant (which for your info, ay obvious naman kung sino mananalo. Nahulaan ko na e), have a good night with my friends, and party before hell week starts! Haha.

Of course, kaninang ENTRES period namin, obviously Sir Harvs wouldn’t miss talking about what happened in Spectacle. For about 20 minutes of the period, yun lang yung pinapag-usapan namin! Excited siya e. And he was so proud and happy na maayos and maganda daw yung party, compared to last year’s. Siyempre he also talked about the Mr. and Ms. BM. And he is also excited na for the NEXT YEAR’S BM party. NEXT YEAR pa ha, kamusta naman. He was already thinking of ideas for the next Mr. and Ms. BM. Haha. Dapat daw mas strict na and mas meticulous na ang pagpili ng contestants. They will be choosing 30 girls and 30 boys as the initial contestants and there would be a pre-elimination round wherein they will be choosing the 12 boys and 12 girls to compete on the night of the party. Gusto pa niya may overnight ek ek yung contestants wherein magsstay daw sila in one house. Siyempre may PBB aspect. Lagi naman e. Haha. Lastly, he added that next year daw, there should be a talent portion na daw. Ngek. Kung sasali ako, HINDI ako agree sa talent portion no! That’s the humiliate-yourself-in-front-of-people portion e! Hehe.

Then, Sir Harvs already scouted sa class kung sino yung mga gusto niya isali for the next Mr. and Ms. BM. Sabi niya “Next year and mga dapat sasali si..blahblahblah..” At kamusta naman, while I was busy doing something (kasi I don’t usually pay too much attention sa mga stories niya noh) unang-unang binanggit niya was my name! Sinasali na ko for the Mr. and Ms. BM 2008! Hahaha. Well, pwede rin pero I just don’t have enough confidence (and willpower? Haha) sa mga pageant-pageant. Weird e, it’s like selling yourself. Haha. Plus, the talent portion pa! Okay lang yung question and answer e, it’s not that hard naman, based on the questions na tinanong sa mga candidates last Saturday. I can join pa sana if same lang yung gagawin like this Mr. and Ms. BM 2007 e, opening number lang, then you just strut on the stage wearing clothes of the sponsors, then answer questions! Kaso mas mahirap na next year if ever matuloy yang mga PBB eklats plus talent portion. Ano naman ittalent ko? Hahaha. But on second thought, if you win naman next year’s Mr. and Ms. BM, mas may sense of achievement kasi it’ll be harder e.

So..join na ba ito next year? Hahaha. I am not a pageant person talaga e. Ipa-engganyo niyo muna ako magpa-develop ng pictures na ippass. Dun ako na-sstuck e. Tinatamad magpasa ng picture. Haha. Join na? Just for kicks? :)

Whatever.

2007-03-25T22:17:00.000+08:00

Wanna know what happened to me on March 24, 2007? Did I go to his party or not?

Just ask me. :(

But I'll leave you with this (and this was my friend Pat's text message to me):

"Naisip ko lang, you're fighting for your love for LJ by not fighting. Gets? It is here that you exhibit your love..By letting go. Only GOD will know if he is the one. I'm proud of you. Mwah."

I wana cry... :(

I can't take this.

2007-03-23T21:09:00.000+08:00

Haiii. I am sad. Parang I'm so down right now and I don't exactly know why. Parang ngayon nagssink-in na I feel so alone kahit na maraming nanjan for me. Bakit ako ganito I don't like this. Dahil sa ganito ako, I stayed at school today 'til 730 pm (buti na lang open yung DO until that time, which is unusual). I was dismissed na by 440, then I stayed at the office 'til 730. Kwentuhan lang with DOPs. Because that's one place I can laugh, and forget about my worries, kahit for a while lang. It's like the DO has become my nearest refuge, that whenever I feel like so alone or konti na lang maiiyak na ko, I'll go there. Hay.

Actually, may pinanggagalingan yung sadness ko, though I feel deep inside that hindi lang ito yung cause. Hindi ko na talaga alam kung ano pa yung ibang cause. But the main reason of my sadness is, in less than 3 hours, LJ will be turning 20 na. Okay, we're friends. But iba pa rin na he'll be a non-teenager na tapos "wala" na kami. I mean..Ewan. I can't explain. Then of course, I got used to the 4 years na nakasama ko siya on his birthday..Well, for 2 years ko lang pala siya nakasama personally. Pero, all four years of his birthday, I was there. I mean, there were the greetings at exactly 12 midnight, the sweet texts and "I thank God he gave me to you" messages. Hay. Let me recall.

March 24, 2003. This was the first time I told him "I love you". As in "I love you" in a romantic kind of way. I remember pa na he was in his school nun sa Claret, having training. Then, his friends told me na nagwala daw siya sa tuwa when I told him that. Waaah.

March 24, 2004. I was with him March 23 pa lang. Because it was his prom day. I remember that it was my finals week at St. Scho nun, and I will be having 2 final exams the next day. But I still came at his prom. So while the transition from March 23 to 24 was happening, we were together.

March 24, 2005. I don't think we were in good terms during this time. Kasi 'til April, before his grad ball, nag-away kami for 2 months yata. But still, I remembered him and valued him as my own.

March 24, 2006. This was when my kabarkada Reg celebrated her 18th birthday. Same day. But after going to Reg's debut celebration, I went to LJ's naman because he was celebrating his birthday with his blockmates. I wouldn't miss that.

Haay. Grabe, this is so sad. What will happen now at March 24, 2007? I still want to be that special person who'll make him very happy on his 20th birthday..But, can I do that and will he allow me to? :(

Help. I am so sad. :(

Never thought I'd miss it so much.

2007-03-22T19:16:00.000+08:00

Uuuggghh. Grabe na itong sipon na ito. Boses ngongo na ko. Hehehe. Tapos naluluha-luha pa kasi sobrang kati nung ilong na gusto mo na talaga mag-sneeze, pero ayaw! Tapos I'm having extreme dysmenorrhea pa. Kamusta naman pati yun shinare ko. Haha. X)

Speaking of dysmenorrhea, girl thing ito. Hehe. I never thought I'd miss St. Scho so much.

When I rode the fx on the way home, sa harap ako umupo. I had a girl beside me, and I knew that she is a Scholastican, because she was wearing a St. Scho volleyball jersey shirt. After a few minutes ng paghihintay mapuno yung van, there were two girls na sumakay sa loob. Then they called the girl beside me, and I knew na Scholasticans rin yung dalawa. Pinalipat nila sa likod yung girl na katabi ko para kwentuhan sila. That's where it started. From La Salle to Paranaque, hindi na sila tumigil sa kakadaldal. Tahimik lahat ng nakasakay, tapos sila lang yung nagsasalita.

And that's the first thing I love in Scholasticans. Girl power! As in there's this really strong bond between friends lalo na pag classmates kayo. Even if you see each other everyday, hindi talaga mauubusan ng stories. Second, I miss the madaldal nature of Kulasas. Like I said, tahimik yung mga tao sa van, pero sige pa rin sila. Lahat tuloy napapakinig sa mga stories nila. Hehehe. Nung una, I was thinking pa how immature they were kasi yung pinagkkwentuhan nila were having crushes on their teachers. And take note, on FEMALE teachers. Hindi na ata talaga mawawala yung ganung kultura sa St. Scho. Girly yung mga students, and I know that the teacher they were crushing on was also a girl na hindi naman tomboy (pero pa-tough personality). I knew that because kilala ko yung teacher na pinag-uusapan nila. Naging teacher ko rin yun e. Hehe. I duno kung bakit nagiging crush nung mga students yung certain teacher na yun, coz as far as I know, every batch na natuturuan niya, may nagkaka-crush sa kanya. Ew. Eh I don't like that prof pa naman. Pa-cool effect e. Yung pa-terror teacher effect, eh hindi naman bagay. Haha. Kaya masaya makinig nung kwento nung mga students e, kasi kilala ko pinapag-usapan. =D Then, I knew kung bakit they were so into this teacher. They were highschool freshmen pala. So medyo 1st year pa lang nila of seeing this teacher. Hay nako, magsasawa din sila. Heheh.

And because sa mga yan, I began to reminisce my St. Scho days. Haha. Matagal din yun ha, I went to school there for 11 years, since Prep. Sobrang dami nangyari, which will never make me forget that school. Nung gradeschool, I remember pa that I was this super shy kid na may glasses pa na anti-social. Magsasalita lang ako pag kinausap ako. Waaaay different than who I am now. Hehe. And it's because of my experiences in St. Scho that made me a better person, and a more confident one too. It all started when I was in Grade 4, when I was nominated as a candidate running for the position of class PRO. Haha. Kahit class elections lang yun, believe me. Sobrang kabado ako. Kasi naman, my opponent was a very confident and intelligent student. As in no questions asked, kitang-kita mo talaga yung leadership traits niya. Pero wala, after all the pangangampanya and Miting de Avance, I won. Di ko alam kung pano nangyari yun. Maybe because sobrang bait ng tingin ng mga tao sakin, tapos tingin nila sa kalaban ko overconfident. Hehe. What happened to my opponent? She's now also studying in La Salle, but nag-highschool siya sa Philippine Science. Nakakatuwa kasi she still knows me. And I was right, she's now a student leader too. :) Tapos since that Grade 4 days, every year, I become a class officer. Actually, class secretary lang naman lagi. Since grade 5 to 2nd year HS. Nung 3rd year, muntik na maging Presidente, buti na lang hindi. Hindi ako naging eligible for elections eh, dahil sa excessive lates ko nung 2nd year..Haha. Pero umasenso din naman nung 4th year, naging class VP ako. Haha.

Pero ang highschool pa rin talaga ang pinaka-unforgettable. First year, there's the initiation. For us to be "officially" part of the HS department, magkaka-partner kaming 4th year HS. They would be our "big sisters". For one week, we will be under their rule. As in kahit anong i-utos nila dapat sundin namin. There would be days na papasuotin ka nila ng mga outrageous costume, and you have to follow it. Or papapasukin ka nila sa school pero yung schoolbag mo balde. Or papayungan mo sila pag naglalakad kayo. Those were the days. Heheh. :D

2nd year HS. Of course, interaction ang highlight. "First encounter" with boys. Hahah. I remember pa that before the interaction day, I thought of not going to school. Kasi naisip ko wala naman kwenta yun and that was for Kulasas lang na mahilig sa boys. And I used to be not one of them. (Does that mean na mahilig na ko sa boys ngayon?? Hindi rin. Haha.) Wala pa ko pakialam sa boys nun. Hehe. Pero pumasok pa rin ako. I remember din na when I entered the hall kung saan kami mag-iinteraction, wala pa ko sa interaction mode nun. I was finishing our lab report kasi nun sa Biology, submission day na kasi. But everything went unexpectedly great. And siyempre, that's where I met one of the most heavenly special people in my life, LJ. :) Mahabang storya pa yan, hindi kami naging close agad. Hehe. Sa ibang blog entry na yan. :p Another highlight pa pala was the Afro-Asian. Competition yan between sections sa whole batch. Parang presentation of assigned countries. Gagawa ng kind of play na may song na may dance. We were assigned sa Indonesia, and we won the most awards! Plus first place pa kami :)

3rd year. Siyempre prom. :) But honestly, I didn't enjoy my prom. Haha. Besides sa naging "rock prom", ewan ko nag-away pa ata kami ni LJ nung pauwi na kami. Hehe. I can't remember kung bakit, pero basta umiyak ako nun. Hahah. Another highlight was the Shakesfest. Parang Afro-Asian din siya, pero mga plays naman ni Shakespeare. Our section won 3rd place! Yay :)

4th year. Grad! Hahaha. Pero the thing I loved most during my 4th year days was my section!! I soooo love 4C! I remember na I was voted pa as "the most conceited" nung nagka-survey sa class. Hehe. And of course, member din ako ng mean girls. ;) Whoo! I miss na our retreat din at the St. Scho retreat house in Tagaytay, no cellphone for 3 days din yun ha! And the overnight SEE-Subic activity! Parang mini-CAT siya, and yung mga dala lang namin na gamit ay yung essentials. As in icconfiscate yung hindi kasama sa list na binigay sa amin. Tapos lots of tiring and sweat-producing activities, tapos hindi kami pwedeng maligo! Then we were made to sleep in a tent na kami rin magsset-up! Uy proud ako, ako nagdala ng tent for our group haha. :D And of course the graduation. Hehe hindi ako naiyak nun promise hindi ko alam kung bakit. Maybe because sobrang daming times na namin nag-practice na hindi na siya nakakaiyak. Mas feel ko pang umiyak nung practices, lalo na the first time we sang our grad song. Huhuhu.

Hay, grabe so many things to remember in St. Scho na hindi ko makkwento lahat dito. Basta, I am so grateful na tubong St. Scho ako, kasi I am proud of what I have become now, and hindi maipagkakaila, na St. Scho was one of the contributors kung bakit ganito ako ngayon. :)

Let's cheer for St. Scholastica! Haha. :)

dile-dilemma-han.

2007-03-21T17:42:00.000+08:00

5 days akong hindi nagpost! No...Hahah. Grabe, everyday, I think of updating kaso lang it's either one of my siblings is using the PC, or kinain na naman ako ng schoolwork.

Top 3 things making me paranoid (as of now):

1. COMP2BU Final Paper - database eklats; BPI/BPR Study; revision of Chapter 3, 4 and 6; do Chapter 8 (Testing and Debugging of Database)...EVERYTHING should be done before Sunday! Phooey. I. am. not. a. computer. expert. Help.

2. FABUMAN Final Paper - family business "analysis"; just found a company; company profile pa lang ang meron kami; March 30 would be our reporting; April 2 would be the submission! Waaah.

3. FINAMA1 Final Paper - ito ang pinaka-kamusta naman sa lahat. We still have no DEFINITE company; still need to find 4 annual financial statements; haven't started anything yet; April 2 would be the submission too. Eeeek. O_o

There, there. In short, schoolwork really makes me paranoid right now! Sa aking bilang, I only have 13 days to go before my "summer vacation but not really" vacation starts! And ang dami pang requirements to do! At least in ENTRES1 where I love my group ♥, lahat masipag and everyone does their work talaga kaya minsan lang ma-ENSTRESS. Yeees. :)

Speaking of ENTRES, may kulit story pala ako. I was ALMOST "evicted" from big bro Harvs' yahoogroups. Hahaha. Pasaway na bata kasi ako. I forgot that one of his house rules was "not to post any message in the group that is not ENTRES/PRACTICUM-related. Ako naman itong si Ms. DO Paragon, nag-post ng message regarding the DO Email Address and Hotline. Nyahehe. Because I am under the Information-Dissemination team sa DO, siyempre ginawa ko lang naman trabaho ko. Eh nakalimutan ko yung rule ni Sir Harvs. So muntik na. Warning na ko. Hahaha. I love Sir Harvs na nga eh, kasi (1) he loved our Tsineelas product (we know it, because hindi niya kami binara, at wala siyang nasabing negative and he didn't complain about anything) and (2) he just gave me a warning for breaking his rule, when in fact nakalagay sa "house rules" niya ay "no warning would be given". So dapat talaga, evicted na ko. Hehehe.

Lumayo-layo naman tayo sa academics. Eww. Hehe.

Fully-booked na naman ako at the end of the week! This coming Friday night, Kimi and I (Ching, sama ka!! Kanina lang namin napag-usapan na pupunta kami eh haha) will be watching a concert of DLSU's Chamber Ensemble, entitled "An Overture of the Soul". Actually, wala naman talaga kaming plano manood, kaso Ms. Mitzie (our ECONTWO prof) said that she'd be giving plus points if we attend. Sayang naman, kaya punta na kami! :) But that means na mawawaldasan na naman ako ng P120 sa aking moneeeh. Pfft.

Mas lalo sa Saturday. Grabe na ito. 8 am I have to be at my church, because there will be a training for the teachers who will join the DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School). Patay, gising na naman nang maaga yun. Waah. Hehehe. The training will be til 3pm. After that, direcho na siguro ako sa MOA because the DLSU's Business Management Society org will be hosting a year-end party. May plus sa ENTRES pag pumunta dun. Hahaha. And of course, I want to be there naman, sounds fun eh. Bilibit or not, I have never had a henna tattoo. Meron sa party. Magpapa-henna na kaya ako this time? :D Haha. The party would be from 7pm to 12midnight. But I THINK I will not finish the party. Why? It's LJ's birthday! He'll be turning 20 na. Waaah tanda na. Hehe. Though, I'm still not sure if I'll really go. Kasi naman, obviously, I'll see someone there at baka mainis lang ako. Then if hindi maganda mood ko, hindi ko na mapapasaya si LJ. Hay. Hay. BUUUT, it's his 20th birthday!!! Anong gagawin ko? Go there to make LJ know na hindi ko binalewala birthday niya kahit may event ako sa may MOA at kahit alam kong maaasar lang ako pag pumunta ako; or not attend LJ's party para hindi ako mainis pero magtatampo si LJ sa akin and make him think na just because "wala" na kami, I don't care na?

Grabeee, ang hirap kaya mag-decide. Friends? Help?

ENTRES-ting lamok-hunting!

2007-03-16T20:26:00.000+08:00

Whooo. Tomorrow's our product critiquing. Yeah. Sana magising ako kasi I have to be at school at 8am! Bugger. Hope everything goes well, and sana we'll get a good grade. I have great confidence in my group, I know that we could do this! Besides, ang cute ng product namin. Hehe. Cute pa ng name. Tsineelas. As in Chi-neeee-las. :)

Our first prototype in ENTRES1! :)

Woohoo. Ang cute no? Paa ni Kimi yan. Hahaha. Prototype pa lang yan. We have yet to improve on our product. :) Basically the main feature of our Tsineelas is yung lahat ng sides nung tapakan may holes, so that one can do her own design ng sandals. Pwedeng weaved, covered, peeptoe, roman sandals, etc. We'd be offering different colors of ribbons din, depending sa taste ng customer. One sandal, different designs! :) Saves money. Pag binebenta na namin, bili kayo ha! :) [Request from the author: Kindly don't use or share this idea to others, kasi pinaghirapan namin ito and we just don't want our ideas stolen by other people. Respetuhan lang. :)]

ENTRES-related again, I so hate the idea ng peer evaluation ni Sir Harvs! Pag-aawayin pa kaming mga groupmates! Pfft. To those na hindi nakakaalam, our peer evaluation would be like "Pinoy Big Brother" daw (forgive our prof, showbiz addict kasi yun at may plano din atang sumali ng PBB pero pakipot pa, overqualified daw siya pero lagi naman niya binibring-up yung PBB! Iba talaga pag vakloosh ang prof.), wherein we have to (1) rank our groupmates kung sino pinaka-nag-eexert ng effort to the least, and (2) we have to forced "evict" two of our groupmates. Hay. You know how hard it is to vote of not one, but two pa of your groupmates when you love them so much? ♥ Pfft. Pano na kaya to. Sa Monday na ang submission. Nyaar.

Moving on to a different topic, may rage ngayon dito sa village namin. As in as far as I see (at least sa street namin within the vicinity of our house), fad talaga siya. Hehe. You know kung ano? Yung pampatay ng lamok which looks like a badminton racket. Hahaha. Ang kulit talaga. Kasi that pamatay ng lamok is so easy to use, fun pa. You turn the switch on, then you also have to push a button while waving around the racket. Then when it comes into contact with a mosquito, nagsspark yung racket. This is because na-eelectrocute yung mga lamok pag nadidikit sila sa racket. Hahaha. Tunog watusi siya pag nadidikit yung lamok sa racket. Hehehe! So may pang-exercise ka na (coz you wave around your arm while finding mosquitoes), nakakabawas pa ng lamok yung ginagawa mo, fun pa na may sparks, may watusi sound effect ka pa! Hehe. I promise, hooked na talaga yung mga tao dito, as in pag dumilim na, may maririnig ka nang watusi sounds. Hehehe. Even sa tennis court na katapat ng bahay namin, nagpapatay na rin sila ng mga lamok dun. Haha! :D Nakakatawa pa when we first got a hold of the product, na-addict na yung mom ko to the point na talagang bumaba pa siya sa garage namin just to go lamok-hunting! Hahaha. If interested kayo, you can buy from us, it only costs P200. Kesa bumili kayo ng sobrang daming katol o incense na hindi naman usually nagwwork ng sobra. At least with this product, sure kang nababawasan ang lamok population. So let's go lamok-hunting! Buy now! :) Contact me lang if you have more questions pa :)

HAPPY 2 YEARS! =D

2007-03-14T21:05:00.000+08:00

I just ate an uber sarap dinner: Chicken Adobo. :) Walang kapantay talaga ang luto ni Ate Winnie pag dating sa chicken adobo. Hahaha. Thanks Ate Winnie for the sumptuous dinner! ;)

Silver's (my blog haha) celebrating her 2nd birthday today! Yay! Happy Birthday Silver! Greet niyo rin siya, hehe.

Grabe, we had our 4th General Assembly at the DO kanina. As usual, masaya na naman! Lagi naman e. Hehe! Limitless energy kasi yung mga tao dun! So there, we had some reminders, etc. na I'd rather not talk about because (1) it's supposed to be confidential and (2) boring naman eh ano naman paki niyo kung ikkwento ko diba? Haha.

After all the reminders and announcements, we had a group dynamics activity entitled "Hand Language". Alam niyo na to, this is the famous activity where you'll draw your hand on a paper, then you'll write and draw certain things on that drawn hand. Ito pinagawa sa amin:

Wrist Area: Write your name or nickname or the name you want to be called (Siyempre I wrote jOn).

Palm Area: Draw a symbol representing your vision of your life in the future (I drew a sun, kasi I want my life to be bright and yellow, na ibig sabihin ay happy and full of energy! Hihi).

Thumb: Draw a symbol which represents life's greatest gift to you (I drew stick people haha, representing my family and friends! Awww *group hug* hehe).

Index Finger: Write one word which describes yourself (Pat, I borrowed your word. I wrote a one big FABULOUS! It's self-explanatory..Hahaha).

Middle Finger: Draw a symbol which represents your greatest growth experience. (I drew a flower. Because through my greatest growth experience, I was able to "bloom" into a better person. Naks. Haha).

Ring Finger: Draw a symbol which represents your unique contribution to the world (I drew a heart, which means I contribute my love. Yuck jologs ng sagot no? How unique. Hahaha nakakatawa wala na kasi akong masagot e).

Pinky Finger: Draw a symbol which represents your weakness (Sobra yan yung pinakamahirap na tanong!! Wala ako masagot!)

So eto na. Na-disturb ko na yung mga tao within my reach (yung mga katabi ko, at mga katabi ng katabi ko hehe) kasi nga wala pa rin akong sagot sa pinky finger, eh mag-ggroup sharing na. So I gave my paper to Mhike para siya mag-iisip ng weakness ko haha. First, he wrote letter "B", pero nag-react kagad ako! Hahaha sinigawan ko siya in short. So pinalitan niya. Then he drew a pentagon, at obvious ba alam ko na iddrawing niya. Hindi na niya tinuloy kasi hindi niya kaya i-draw yung lettering. Hehe! So pinalitan na lang niya. First, hindi niya muna pinakita kung ano dinrawing niya, then when I saw na what he drew, nakita ko he drew an arm with biceps!! Yaaak! Hahaha! (At this moment, alam kong tumatawa ka na Ching hahaha) Sobrang natawa ako kasi ang kulit nung drawing eh! Parang popeye, sobrang laki nung biceps! Hehehe! We left the drawing there, pero nung nalaman namin na ippass pala yung mga drawings, siyempre binura ko no! Then I put na lang the word "rejection". Nyahaha corny ulit. :p Pero, sa diin ng pencil ni Mhike, naiwan yung trace nung bicep drawing! Waah! Hehehe. Ang kulit talaga. XD

Group dynamics ulit! Ulit! Ulit! Hahaha :)

overfatigue

2007-03-10T22:30:00.000+08:00

Grabeee. I was sick yesterday and the day before. :( Good thing I'm okay now, thanks for all your prayers friends, they were of great help talaga. And I was super touched to those who even bothered to text me and tell me that they missed me in school. You know who you guys are, I sooo love you people. :) Kaya I'm enthusiastic to go to school eh, dahil na rin sa inyo. Hehe. :)

Til this morning, I was thinking of what could be the cause of my 2-day fever. I had no cough or colds, had no tonsillitis, didn't remember na naulanan ako either (well, umulan ba these past few days? Di ko na pansin). So I was thinking kung ano ba talaga. All I remember was last Thursday, I was really excited to go home 'coz I miss my bed so much to the point that hindi ko na tinapos yung 230 to 430 residency schedule ko at the DO. 4 pa lang I left the office na and headed for home.

While I was eating my dinner kanina, that's when I thought of the reason why I was down with fever. And it was because of sobrang pagod. As far as I can remember, this was the first time na naging cause of fever ko is sobrang pagod. Now I'm believing what my friends say, that I've become such a workaholic. Started when LJ and I went..you know. Hehe. Can't blame myself if I wanted so much distraction right? I didn't feel too stressed naman; maybe mentally I wasn't feeling it pero yung katawan ko pala sumusuko na without me being aware of it. I've been working long hours at the DO, to the point that I leave school na at 6pm everyday when it should be 430pm-ish. Yung 430 onwards visit ko to the DO ay hindi na talaga included sa residency hours ko, but still, I work. Besides distracting myself, ay gusto ko rin naman ginagawa ko 'coz I love my work, and I love the people there. Yan tuloy, nallabelan akong addict sa residency..Haha. Then after traveling from school to home, shempre I can't rest right away kasi there's still schoolwork to do. Tapos aabutin ka pa ng 12midnight kakagawa. Then you'll have to wake up early pa the next day. There. That's why.

Perooo. Pasaway pa rin si jOn. Eeeh kailangan talaga eh. I was at the Corinthian Gardens (our plant site is located there) kanina with my business groupmates. We practiced doing our product, para pag-visit ni Prof. Harvs sa plant site namin, we all know na how to make our product. In short, I was back to work again kahit galing lang sa sakit. Hehe. And now, I'm doing my online homework in one of my subjects (while blogging?! Break lang, ito naman. Hehe). And this routine would continue until summer, 'coz fully booked na ang summer ko. Work din. :)

Hay jOn, magbakasyon ka naman! Hehehe. :p

It's a man's world.

2007-03-08T19:36:00.000+08:00

Prince Charming # 1: The lost love. So many princesses want to have him; or at least have a prince like him. But he chooses not to have any of them for the reason he only knows. He'd rather be alone, in his own world. Searching for the perfect princess for him; for the perfect time to have her. He no longer wants to be hurt again; to go through the excrutiating pain he has experienced from his last love. So for now, he chooses to broaden his horizons and hopes that maybe, just maybe..He will finally find her princess or realize that she has always been there.

Prince Charming # 2: The child at heart. A charming, but not so charming one. May be finding love for the wrong reasons. Serenading every pretty princess that comes along his way, giving her flowers and lots of surprises. A very sweet prince, but he just not suits the princess' taste.

Prince Charming # 3: The illusion. It started with a simple, casual conversation. Then both enjoyed each other's company. It reached to the point where the prince thought that he was already falling for the princess. Did everything to have her. Became one of the sweetest persons the princess has ever known. But when confusion came into the picture, the prince was caught off-guard. Afraid to take the risk, he decided to leave her princess. And it all goes down to one thing. Simple. He is not what the princess thought he was.

Prince Charming # 4: The half-hearted. Haven't seen her princess yet again, but still drops hints that he is still waiting. He is stuck in a complicated state, where he has everything he has always wanted and needed. But the princess isn't part of what he has now. Which makes him wanting for more. He makes everybody confused, even himself.

Prince Charming # 5: The fallen friend. He is the princess' confidant, emotion-absorber, source of laughter in times of despair, esteem-booster. He has always been there for her. He has seen the princess in good times; he has also seen her when she thinks that the whole world's fallen on her. Still, he remains. He was willing to go against all odds just to be with her. But one thing causes great pain in his heart: he is secretly inlove with her. But he's aware that the princess would never look at him as her knight in shining armor. He knows that whatever happens, he'll always just be her friend. But his strong desire still keeps him hoping that someday, somehow, she realizes that he has always been waiting.

Each is a prince charming in his own way, but when will the princess know who would be compatible to her own "charm"?

And so she waits...

AND THEN, THERE WAS LIGHT.

2007-03-06T15:33:00.000+08:00

Yes, and I know you know it. I still have the same excuse for not blogging for weeks. That's right. Schoolwork has got me. Eaten me alive. Causing me to be overly-emotional, losing my sense of balance. Yaddayaddayadda.

But, i still managed to give my blog a new design, right? =p Pambawi yan. Besides, my bloggie which i will call "Silver" from now on (and i don't know why either haha) will have its birthday on March 14. Happy 2 years old my beloved online journal. You've been through quite a lot. From my emo moments, complaints, rants, shout outs, advertisements, praises and moretocome entries, I know you'll always be there (unless i shut you down hahaha). XD

Well, here are just some of the photos (which by the way, you can also access at my MULTIPLY SITE) i have had since February 13, which was my last post before this one:

It's dated September 27, 2006. But I wanted to share this to you people. Why? Because THIS is just one of the very reasons why I am still in my (almost) normal state of self. These people are my beloved co-Paragons. Every moment with them is just wonderful. Bad things turn to good times because of these people. I don't know how they do it, but I can say that I've finally found my family in De La Salle University. =)

Disclaimer: HINDI SIYA ANG KAPALIT NI LJ OKAY. I know your next question. Wala po. =p Valentine's Day, and this guy (Marco) was the one who saved me from looking single-and-depressed (haha). Such a sweet guy. Lots of surprises, and all were appreciated. Of course, friends who remembered me during the day are also included sa aking heartfelt "Thanks!" =)

February 15, 2007. This was the day when we had a tribute party to our most valuable Discipline Officer, Tata Jack Pascual. The whole afternoon til evening was dedicated to him. The party was a fun party, an emotional one too. As Tata Jack moves on with his life and enter a new chapter, the DO will always remember him as someone who has contributed greatly to De La Salle University. [on photo: DOP Secretary Jon Hernandez, Tata Jack Pascual, DOP President Joel Concepcion]

This is what I was doing on February 16. Camwhooore! Woohoo. Hehe. On the photo is my forever classmate whom I love so much, Chingy! With us is Trisha, our blockmate! The school's celebrating its University week, so no regular classes, that's why I had a camera with me ;) Hehe.

Same day. Because of boredom, nagpa-pictorial na ko kay Ching, since she just came from LEAP's Photography 101 Class last February 13. Hahaha.

Night came. We attended the Animo Amplified Concert; this is the culminating activity of the school's University Week. Many bands played, such as Rocksteady, Sandwich, Callalily (ata?) and many more I can't already remember. Of course, the day won't end without camwhoring with my co-DOPs, Istine, Camae, Ava, Mhike and Eia!

February 17. I had a reunion with my 4C classmates, Cha and Tor and my 3rd year HS girlet, Jessica. Spent the afternoon at Glorietta and Greenbelt having fun and taking pictures. I missed these people so much! ♥ Waiting for another gimmick to come, kasi sobrang bitin! =)

A surprise dinner awaited me after my gimmick with the girls. Spent the evening with my kapatid blockmate, Micko. According to him, the dinner-out served as a stress reliever on my part, 'coz the guy knows how busy I am. Hehe. Thanks Micko, I appreciated it. Whoo for our funny photos! Hahaha!

This photo was taken on February 24. I, together with some of my Scholastican kabarkadas, attended Piyar's debut at Crowne Plaza. Yipee she was the last among our barkada of 14 to celebrate her debut! =) Our barkada had pictorials at the bathroom (a must for Kulasas hehehe) with our batchmates! Yay =)

And I was wearing this outfit because the rule was we should wear something rocker-ish. And I was a rocker chic. Hahaha.

Poof! There goes my life so far. Taking one day at a time, one step at a time, while enjoying the journey.. =)

LEAP went FLOP.

2007-02-13T18:57:00.000+08:00

hey hey. my LEAP day went FLOP day. wasn't able to go to school today. why? because simula pa end of the week last week i've been feeling the "almost there" lagnat. kaya decided to take the day off and rest. kasiii. sino ba may kasalanan na ang hectic hectic ko? haha.

sayang nga lang, i enrolled for the PHOTOGRAPHY class. pffft. oh well.

yay. james and ching have already signed up for the DOP application! yihee. :) go guys, being a DOP has its joys. haha labo. masaya talaga, promise. :) impress us and the staff! hehe. if you need help, i'm here to back you guys up. wag lang yung dirty inside job..nyahaha. :p

since i was here lang sa house the whole day, i was able to at last do something i haven't done since i started going to school last januart after the christmas break. what's that you say? it's to watch tv for leisure. yep, that's right. as in yung bum ka lang na nanonood. kasi when i watch tv ngayon, i'm not completely focused on the show, kasi either gumagawa ako ng homework, paper, or kumakain. something to that effect. pero kanina, i was able to watch one dvd movie. i was able to watch tim burton's the corpse bride. :) victor, the main character has the voice of THE mr. johnny depp (and now i hear ching screaming). hahaha. :p the movie was so nice. at least for me. kasi i can relate at least. hindi dahil may bride/groom akong patay na, hahaha. it's just that i loved the idea that the topic of true love as well as unrequited love (ouch) were able to be incorporated in a supposed to be "for kids" movie. the movie can really be watched by people from all ages, kasi nga as i've said, cartoon siya, pero if you look deeper, may meaning behind all the fun to listen to musicals, big-eyed thin-legged characters and interesting representation of the underworld. :) sa mga hindi pa nakakanood, watch it. promise natouch ako. true love requires great GREAT sacrifice. sa totoo lang natamaan talaga ako sa movie, ang kulit. hahaha.

so..tomorrow is valentine's day. what could be in store for me? :) haay.

i've found it. =)

2007-02-09T17:51:00.000+08:00

today was the last day for our DO relstri and relsfor lecture. grabe, kapagod pala talaga pag paulit-ulit sinasabi mo! haha. kasi for each class, you have to repeat and briefly discuss the most important rules and regulations of the university tapos yung activity proper pa. my first day of assisting and co-facilitating was okay pa, kasi first time. pero dun din yung super kabado. but as i handle more and more lectures, mas nawawala yung kaba. a very good training, indeed. :) sobrang nakaka-boost ng confidence kasi you have to talk in front of a class tapos majority hindi mo kilala. add to that, mostly were older than me. lalo na pag relsfor, puro 3rd year and 4th year na. hehe.

my experience was, there were some classes na talaga namang active and participative. todo kung magtanong parang wala nang bukas (hehe pero that's good at least mas nagiging interactive), meron ding mga kinacareer yung activity. enjoy mag-co-facilitate pag ganito yung class. but, there are also classes na walang ginawa kundi tumitig lang sayo. ito yung nakaka-ilang na class. hehe. yung salita ka ng salita tapos sobrang tahimik lang nung class. haha. at least hindi maingay, mas hindi ko kaya i-handle yun. the classes i handled were from the college of business&economics, liberal arts, science, and engineering. of all those, engineering yung pinaka-na-enjoy ko. hindi dahil boys okay. haha. wala nga akong nakitang gwapo eh. it's just that sila yung pinaka-accommodating and active. :) basta per college, mapapansin mo talaga yung "culture". hehe.

for my last lecture which was kaninang 1140-1240 (coz i also had another nung 1030-1130), grabehan na ito! actually hindi naman talaga planned na kay ms. nhing (a DO staffer) ako mag-aassist, nangyari lang yun because my co-DOP, jess, ay nag-cancel for some reason. so she texted us kung sino pwede. since i don't have class ng 1140-1240 kanina, pumayag na ako. to make the long story short, sinabi sa akin ni ms. nhing na ako na daw mag-handle lahat! yep, as in EVERYTHING! from the introduction, to the lecture, to the activity proper, ako lahat! eeeh dapat co-facilitate and assist lang ako eh?! haha! kinabahan naman ako kasi i would be like a prof for one whole period! since hindi na ko makahindi, oo na lang. hahahah. gudlak sakin.

on my 1030-1130 lecture, everything went well naman. ako lang naman nagdeliver nung lecture e. then, 1140 came. doomshour na. hahaha. ms. nhing was just there nakaupo sa mga chairs, tapos ako na bahala. pfft. hehe. FYI, relsfor yung i-hhandle ko. mga ate at kuya po. haha. so there i was, simula sa prayer down to the evaluation, ako ang nagsalita. ms. nhing was there to address some questions pag hindi ko na alam yung mga sagot. hehehe. :) so in short, for one full hour i was in charge. yeeees. hehe. grabe, before the class started, naisip ko baka in 30 minutes lang tapos na lahat! pano na yung 30 minutes?! hehe. but no, i was surprised sa sarili ko that i was able to use the whole hour! walang labis, walang kulang. naaaks naman! haha! this is my blog, kaya masarap pumuri sa sarili. hehehe. but of course, grabe hindi ko magagawa yun without my lord's help. talagang before i started, i prayed a short prayer. and, effective! sobrang everything went well. :) surprising talaga, kasi when i have my speech classes dati, pag 10-minute speech ang hirap na e, kasi parang masyadong mahaba yung time. ubos na sasabihin ko, pero wala pang sampung minuto. but this one, i was able to deliver for one hour! whew! hehe. :) kaya nga sobrang great training talaga.

ms. nhing was so impressed sa mga nangyari. sobrang puri talaga, paulit-ulit. she was surprised kasi that i was able to handle everything on my own. hehe. and i was so happy, kasi ms. nhing was the most OC, expecting DO staffer in our office. haha. :) yay. :)

now that the DO relstri and relsfor lecture is done, DOP recruitment week naman next week. woooork again. but if you have passion for what you do, you'll never be stressed.

as for me? i know i have this GREAT passion. :) i've finally found what i really love to do, that is, serving others. :)

it's true. promise. :)

2007-02-07T19:23:00.000+08:00

simple highlights of my week (so far):

dalawa lang naman naiisip ko ngayon, kaya yun. hehe.

DO rels lecture last feb6, tuesday. - naglecture po ako together with ms. joey and DOP benz sa engineering section. so far, yan ang pinakamasayang class na na-lecturan ko. napaka-welcoming. haha. bawat banggit ng pangalan ko, pinapalakpakan ako. bwahaha! tapos nakinig sila sa lecture ko, in fairness tumahimik sila. hehehe. :) tapos nachika na naman ako, at tawag ng iba sa akin ay ate kahit ako'y ID105 lamang at sila'y mga ID103 at ID102..haha. :D ang makulit pa dun, pagbalik namin sa DO, chineck ni ms. joey yung evaluation forms, at na-surprise kaming lahat sa sinabeng strength at comment ng isang student. sa strength, ay "beautiful speaker" daw. hahaha. si benz tinutukoy dun, hindi ako :p hahah joke. tapos sa comments ay "go JON!!!" ang nakalagay. hanep. hahaha. thank you kung sino ka man. you made my day. :)

physical exam with micko kanina, feb7, wednesday. - actually boring talaga maghintay sa pila, pero nabuhay kami nung nasa pila kami kasi may paper na pinapass na ilalagay mo name mo and all other info about you. para siya sa xray. yung kaharap ko sa pila ay korean guy, tapos ako, tapos si micko. after magsulat ni korean guy sa paper, binigay na niya sakin. so nagsulat na rin ako ng info. pagdating sa birthday, nakita ko ay APRIL 29, 1988 din siya. tapos shempre sa ilalim nun ilalagay ko din APRIL 29, 1988 kasi yun naman talaga birthday ko. tapos nakakatawa pa dun, si micko din ay APRIL 29 ang ilalagay. 1987 nga lang. hehe. pero ang kulit, tatlo kaming magkakasunod same ang birthday! napaka-coincidence eh sa dami ng nagpapa-physical, talagang magkakasunod pa kami. baka isipin nung magccheck nung paper ay barbero kami kasi same kami lahat ng birthday. :D haha. ^_^

yun lang naman. ang kulit eh. :p

CHALLENGE: FINISH READING MY ENTRY. HAHAHA.

FIFTH WEEK OF SCHOOL. today was my stress day! whoa sa exciting talaga. hahaha! :) nevertheless, happy pa rin si jOn kahit stressed out. this is what makes me happy right now, workaholic na nga raw ako. i never expected that i'd be labelled as one dahil kilala ko sarili ko as more on the tamad side..hehe. :)

weeell, tagal ko nang walang kwento update entry dito, dahil nga over sa busy e! pati nga my super friends james and ching (si alex out of this world ang sched compared sa aming tatlo kaya sa isang subject ko na lang siya classmate at nakakasama!) ay hindi ko na rin masyado nakakasama during breaks! on the go si jo! hehe. usually once a week ko na lang sila nakakasabay sa mga break kaya nga awwww sobrang namimiss ko 'tong mga peeps na ito! :) don't worry guys, next week na ang DOP recruitment! pa-impress ha para pag natanggap na kayo sama-sama na tayo sa pagiging busy! mwahaha. :D

sobrang antukin ko talaga. nung saturday, i did my homework (well, not really. more on DO work) the whole day." wow ang sipag ko" na lang ang nasabi ko sa sarili ko. haha. then nung sunday, i was out the whole day kasi of course, church. and then after that, i attended a convention pa at the intercon hotel. ok siya, in fairness. hehe. i won't go into details na kasi gagawa pa ko ng homework, i just decided na mag-update dahil ang tagal nang umiikot sa utak ko yung sinabe ni chingy na ang tagal ko na daw hindi nag-uupdate! hahaha. :) o diba napaka-incoherent ng entry ko? pasensiya na sabog na talaga ako e. hehe. anyway, san galing yung 1st sentence na "sobrang antukin ko talaga."? hehe dami ko muna nakwento bago ako makarating sa kwento na to. anyway kasi in short, wala talaga akong rest time nung weekend so when i went to school nung monday, promise sa OA ang sakit ng ulo ko at sama ng pakiramdam ko. ayun. i made it through the day naman (umokei na nga ako nung nagpunta ako sa DO, stress reliever kasi talaga mga tao dun, laging masaya :D), pero pag uwi ko talaga, kahit wala pa ko nagagawang homework ay natulog na ko. from 530 PM to 730 AM ako natulog! walang patid! haha! sarap ng 14 hours of sleep! panalo. :) kaya naman rejuvenated ako nung pag gising ko! :)

basta yun! haha. kwento ko naman stress day ko today. sobrang pagod din ako kahapon (lagi naman ako napapagod nowadays grabe talaga ang workload, pero walang reklamo! sabe ko nga ito ang nagpapasaya sa akin ;)), eh sobrang daming homework for wednesday which was kanina nga, so kagabi i decided na matulog na ng midnight then gigising na lang ako ng 3 am. nag-offer ang aking good friend na si marco na siya daw ang alarm clock ko. tatawagan nya ko pag 3 am na. hehe. sa kasamaang palad, hindi siya nagising. bwahehe, good thing, i set my own alarm din. nag-alarm nga, pero sa kasamaang-palad ulit, hindi ako bumangon. bwahehe. sarap matulog talaga e! :p bumangon na ko mga 7:20 at naligo ng mga 8 (kasi tinuloy ko yung iba kong homeworks), tapos by 8:30 off to school na ko! 30 minutes lang! record yun! usually more than one hour ako e..haha! i needed to get to school early kasi tatapusin pa yung ibang homeworks. so dumating ako ng 9 am at nakipagkita kay kimi! in short, napasa ko lahat ng homework ko for the 1st period (screw econtwo, ngayon lang! dami homework na binigay!)! 920-1020 yung econ ko.

meron pa kong homework na hindi nagagawa for the day: MY ENTRES1 RESUME. umaga pa lang nammroblema na ko kasi hindi ko na alam kung saan isisingit yung paggawa nito! malalaman mo kung bakit. :p

1030-1130, nag-DO lecture ako together with ms. jen. kaya hindi ako pwede gumawa ng homework! nilecturan namin for the day was NO1 relsfor students a.k.a. COS students. so shempre, mga medyo iba ang aura..haha weird talaga bat ganun. :p pero oks lang, may mga chumika naman sa akin. may cute pa sa class at kasama sha sa mga chumika sa akin ;) hahaha. kaya chingy, kung gusto mo lumawak ang crushie network mo, mag-DO ka na! hahaha!! :D

1140-1240, fabuman class ko naman. yan ang least hectic subject kasi buong subject nag-discuss lang. uupo ka lang at makikinig at magrrecite. pero shempre, nammroblema pa rin ako kung pano ko gagawin yung entres1 homework ko, kasabay pa nun, magpapa-physical exam pa pala ako dahil last day na namin AT may general assembly pa kami sa DO! at iisa na lang ang break ko, yun ay ang Ubreak from 1250-220. so pano na?!

my fabuman class ended at 1230, so i decided na sabay na kami ni micko magpa-physical exam. kala ko kasi mabilis lang na tipong 1pm tapos na kami kasi 1 pm nga may general assembly pa ko at being the DOP secretary (oo, na-promote ako, hindi na ko member lang kundi officer na naaaks haha), kelangan ako magttake ng minutes of the meeting. kaso nung nasa clinic na kami ni micko nafeel kong hindi ko magagawang makarating on time. so nagtext na ko kay ms. jen na ipaubaya na muna nag pag-take ng minutes sa iba kasi nga hindi ako makakarating on time. nga pala, ibang cell pa gamit ko kasi nung umaga sa sobrang pagmamadali, naiwan ko pareho kong fone! hehe! tapos before or after (hindi ko sure kung ano ba talaga) the GA, may pic taking pa ang DOPs para sa tarp na ilalagay sa booth sa recruitment week. so habang nagpapa-physical ako, iniisip ko na sayang baka hindi ako kasali sa pic and of course, my entres resume! haha!

2pm na ako natapos sa physical exam (anak ng tokwa 1 1/2 hours yun!), after that direcho takbo na sa DO! pagdating ko, naka-DO shirt na sila lahat, ready na ready na sa picture-taking! pagpasok ko na-excite sila kasi ako nal ang pala hinihintay! awww sobrang touched ako hinintay nila ako!! love you guys! hehe. :D konting discussion na lang naabutan ko, then after that direcho na kami sa yuchengco to have the pic taking. :)

after the pic taking, balik na ulit sa DO dahil 220 na! finish na ubreak. siyempre, may isa pa kong unaccomplished mission: ang aking entres homework at 230 sha due! dahil mabait si ms. jen, pinagamit niya ko ng computer niya at dun na ko gumawa ng aking resume! after that, takbo ako sa medrano sa SCOOP to have my resume printed. :) dumating ako sa entres class ko mga 5-10 minutes before 3 pm na ata! haha! pero at least pumasok diba?! naka-submit pa ng homework! ;) after nyan, last subject na, comcalc tapos uwi na! woohoo!

napansin nyo ba na hindi ako kumain? hehe.

yan lang naman ang stress day ko! :D kewlness. :)

I JUST CAN'T LIVE A LIE...

2007-01-27T18:11:00.000+08:00

Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
But I can't watch you walk away

Can I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
And all about the good times that we've been through
Could I wake up without you every day?
Would I let you walk away?

No, I can't learn to live without
And I can't give up on us now

Oh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe
The way you know just what I mean

No, I can't learn to live without
Ohh, so don't you give up on us now

Ohh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Ohh, and I don't wanna try

Ohhhh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

I just can't live a lie

But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie..

waaaah. when will this end? :(

heartbroken heartbreaker.

2007-01-26T17:31:00.000+08:00

long post?

2007-01-17T17:59:00.000+08:00

yahoo! i am still alive and kicking, apparently. :p

2nd week pa lang ng term, but i'm feeling the workload already! i've already experienced a sleepless night as early as now, and that was last night. phew. i made a case study paper for our ENTRES1 subject! that's mr. (or ms.? or..eh? ewan!) harvey ong's class, one of THOSE teachers. the "THE" professors. shempre, dapat pa-impress so career to the max si jon! :) grabehang research talaga, coz i think that harvey likes it better if mas detailed. that's what i think! DL mode, remember? gonna prove to myself and to OTHERS especially that I CAN BE MY OWN INSPIRATION. right? right! ;)

so i started the paper at 8:30 pm and finished at 5:30 am! hahaha champion :D thank god di ko na-experience ang over-sleepiness. haha. i had to take a bath by 7:30 am kasi 9:20 start ng class ko, so sleeping time ko lang was 6-7:30 am! yeah. haha.

but the weird thing is, i was more energetic today compared to the other days when i get my sleep ng 8 hours or even moooore! so does this mean wag na ko matulog?? haha. :p at least god gave me enough (sobra pa nga!) energy to get me through the day. :) and oh, di ko pa din nasshare na i'm blogging right now, AND wala pa kong nakakain today. as in WALA. none. wala pa kong napapasok sa tiyan ko! water lang..haha. you might wonder kung pano ko siya nagawa, kahit ako di ko na rin alam e..bwahaha. :) ni hindi man lang ako nanlambot! i had a rather jampacked schedule kasi today that was why i wasn't able to eat. my 1st break was for my residency in the DO, and the other break was for the general assembly for the DO. so DO ang may kasalanan ng lahat ng ito. bwahaha. joke. :p *mom, TODAY lang yan! i do eat in school everyday! haha* [maganda nang malinaw, at baka mapagalitan pa ko hihi]

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY: (yipee i love doing this)

* muntik na ko ma-late for my 1st class! kasi nga 6 ako natulog, and because kulang tulog ko, nahirapan ako bumangon this morning sa hilo! hehe. alam nyo yung feeling na sobrang kulang ng tulog diba? ganun. hehe. i usually leave the house ng 8:20 am pero kanina mga 8:40 na! 20 valuable minutes were lost! sobrang madali talaga ako coz layo ng lalakarin ko kasi layo nung building ng 1st class ko! good thing sakto lang arrival ko :) sayang din ang plus 0.5 sa final grade! haha. :)

* mr. bermudez was called for hotseat sa econtwo kanina. haha. nice timing coz we were texting last night coz he asked me if may homework and i distinctly remember telling him "basahin lang yung pinapabasa ni conchada na di ko alam kung ano. haha. pagdasal mo na lang na sana hindi ka matawag for the hotseat.", but then..kaboom! ayun, na-hotseat! haha. :p and their hotseat pa was not just question and answer, may boardwork pa then after the boardwork isa-isa silang mag-eexplain nung sinulat nila sa board. hahaha. nakakatuwa na nakakatawa panoorin si bruha mag-explain :p [mr. bermudez, kung nababasa mo to, dahil dati nakabisita ka na dito, hello! haha]

* i finally had the one-on-one discussion with ms. christy sa DO. i was happy to know naman that i performed very satisfactorily, based on the DO staff's observation. :) of course i won't go into detail, kasi kung ano yung napag-usapan namin ni ms. christy, yun na yun. ;) twas nice having that talk with ms. christy, nakakagaan ng loob. hahaha. ano ba yun? parang heart-to-heart talk kami ah..bwahehe. pero may konting ganung part. :p

* sa DO ulit. haha. mahal na mahal ko na ata talaga DO ah. nyahaha. well, we had our 1st general assembly for this term. the assembly's basically about some reminders lang sa aming mga DOPs. DISCIPLINE OFFICE assistants kami, pero pasaway pa rin kaya kinailangan ng general assembly. haha. joke. :p pero, half true na rin :) pano naging highlight? ako yung nagtake-down ng minutes of the meeting. bwahaha.

* pasikat points again kay harvey! we had a game (basta something to do with being attentive and being sensitive sa details of a story), and this was one chance to accumulate recitation points! shempre hindi ko na pinalampas yun, sayang naman e! so ganado ako kanina, and because of that, i was able to get 8 recitation points. yipee yipee :p

dami ko pala highlights noh? haha. enervon kid nga ako kasi kanina. :) bouncybouncy pa rin kahit walang tulog..wahaha. sana always na lang ganito. :D

i shall blog despite the already busy schedule that i have. reaction paper in comp2bu and 102 pages of reading assignment for finama1.

talk about setting my priorities straight. haha. kidding.

this would take only 10 minutes, konting update lang. i promise. :)

yesterday, i was able to meet another two of my professors.

1120-1250 - COMP2BU
* my prof is mr. jeden tolentino. i was really expecting that he would be a bit younger and more humorous. kasi kuya siya ng ka-DOP ko, so i assumed that malapit lang yung age gap and he would be able to understand the youth's level of thinking, kasi nga kuya lang naman siya. but he's not anything i mentioned. in fact, medyo boring siya. hehe. so recite na lang ako ng recite to stay awake. pfft. i just hope he's not one of those nasty, grade-selfish professors. haha. :p

1-230 - FINAMA1
* my prof is mr. edralin lim. my expectations were met, which was he's a boring professor and a very lenient one. hehe. i've been warned by my friends kasi who were former students of his. i took him as my prof nevertheless, coz even though boring siya, generally okay naman daw. hehehe. :)

*so..does this mean that during tuesdays and thursdays, these would be my antok days? haha.*

stating all over again.

2007-01-08T20:06:00.000+08:00

yay! today was my 1st day of my 3rd term this schoolyear. :) shempre new professors and new classmates na naman. generally, my day was okay. hehe. since tradition ko nang ikwento ang day ko sa start ng term, here i go. :)

920-1020 - ECONTWO
* my prof is ms. mitzie conchada. ang aking ECONONE prof. since she was very very good 2 terms ago, no doubt i got her again as my prof. :) kinakabahan ako on my way to MOUNT andrew, kasi the only person i know na classmate ko is b_n_ (bahala na kayo mag-guess haha), and we're not in pansinan terms right now. hehe. kaya when i entered the classroom, i was so surprised and overjoyed na ang aking blockmate na si kim ay nandun! yeah and she was alone too, so instant partner na ito! haha. :D

1140-1240 - FABUMAN
* my prof is ms. gloria chavez, 1st time ko siya magiging prof. but i heard from blockmates na super bait and super okay 'tong prof na to. :) i really really wana stay in her class, the only problem is, TATLO pa lang kami sa class! by wednesday we have to be 15 para hindi ma-dissolve yung class. i really hope maayos ni ms. to since all of the fabuman classes are hers.

230-330 - ENTRES1
* my prof is mr. harvey ong. weeeell..not exactly MISTER. i guess he prefers to be called MISS. nyahaha. a super kwela prof, i must say. :) i never expected na sobrang bading pala si harvey, i thought closet gay siya. so during the whole time, natatawa lang ako sa kanya haha. sari-saring comments from previous students of his ang narinig ko, yung iba terror daw, meron namang sobrang okay daw. anyway, basta all i know is matrabaho sa kanya, and he prefers his students to be boys. hahaha. totoo yun. the 1st row nga lahat boys ang nakaupo, then almost the whole 2nd row ay boys din. medyo sa likod lang kaming mga girls nyahaha. kaya lagot kami coz our business group is composed of ALL girls. i just hope that through our hardwork, hindi naman kami ma-discriminate. hehe. :p

340-440 - COMCALC
* my prof is mr. john frederick halcon. a la sallian all the way. from preschool to highschool, sa DLSZ siya. college and masters, sa DLSU. and now that he's taking his Ph.D., DLSU pa rin. kamusta, hindi na nagsawa. hehe. kaya naman bilib ako sa animo spirit ng la sallians e. loyal. :) i think he'll be a fun prof, a bit like mr. heffron kasi siya, my oblicon prof last term. pero mas less kwela si mr. halcon. buuut, i like his idea of fun! he'll always give plus points for every exam that he will give, tipong sa 1st quiz, he'll ask us to wear our highschool uniform while taking the quiz, plus 5 points na yun. :) yehey! i just hope ma-regain ko yung dating passion ko for math, like the COMATH1 days. haha. :)

there, there! 4 subjects lang ako every MWF, i'll be meeting my 2 other professors tomorrow. :) i just hope that my day tomorrow would go well, much like today.

yipeee. :)

new year..oh new year :)

2007-01-01T21:35:00.000+08:00

cool. i survived the first day of the year 2007.

haha. why shouldn't i? all i did was sleep anyway. but i still enjoyed the day. sleeping is looove. :) woke up at 11:30 am, ate a bit, watched a bit, then slept again at 2 pm. my mom woke me up at 4:30, then got ready. we visited our parents' wedding ninang, ninang during. then had dinner outside. yun lang. the end.

pfft. feeling nyo ganon lang ako magblog? nah.

my last post was december 24 pa, forgive me because since christmas my family and i were always out. yes, out. ang saya. i love outings. uhmm..maybe because? i'm single again? haha. (go back to the symptoms of zero love life.) haha pinanindigan. :p bat ba? this is my blog. :p

there's so many things i want to blog about. i want to have a year-ender (starter na nga eh) entry, i want to tell stories about my outings, i also want to blog about how i am now. i dunno where to start. so pardon me if i'd be blogging very incoherently.

summary of my outings: (ganito na lang para hindi sumobrang haba yung entry haha)

* december 25 - cabuyao, laguna. spent christmas at my mom's province. had a mini-reunion with relatives. laughtrip while watching wowowee. camwhore with my siblings. basically, it was a lazy afternoon. hehe. but twas lovely, since it was christmas. :)

* december 26-28 - baguio. woohoo my long-awaited vacation. our family went with 3 other families from church. rest and recreation. had fun eating large and sweet mais and shopping for emo glasses! (haha i have 3 pairs, and my sister has 2) baguio december climate was super! nangangatog kami sa lamig sa umaga at gabi. for a while i thought of not leaving the place, coz it was there where i was able to temporarily detach myself from my problem/s, sanctuary talaga ang baguio. iloveit. :)

* december 30 - attended cathy's debut! yay after all my worries regarding transpo, nakapunta pa rin ako. haha. had so much fun even if the party was just simple. i missed cathy and reg so much! yeah, i saw HIM there, but we were able to "talk" nang maayos. pero there's still that great pain inside of me. pfft. i also missed justin, philip and jp!

* december 31 - baliuag, bulacan. spent new year's eve at my dad's province. oh but before that, we attended our church's quaker service. parang year-ender service lang. puro testimonies from the members about the highlights of their year 2006. i was really blessed that day. surprise surprise din, i was made to talk in front. pfft. pat kasi. pigil na pigil na nga ako sa pag-iyak nun eh, sumabog din when i was made to talk in front. haha. haay. but it was just so fulfilling to cry my heart out to the lord. walang kasingsarap. :) foodtrip din kami sa bulacan, lagi naman sagana sa pagkain dun. hehe. twas also nice to see my lola still happy and cheerful, and strong, despite her 90-year old age. nakakaaliw talaga. nakakausap pa nang maayos. :)

ayan that's the list! ang sayasaya talaga ng lumalabas. hindi masyadong nag-iisip ng mga emotional etceteras. ang hirap kasi nung gising ka sa gabi and you just think of things which make you sad lang naman. well, may advantage din naman yun pero..yun. haha. good thing i have insomniac textmates who are there for me whenever i feel like ranting my complaints. and of course, my forever-available brother, lover, friend, dad, my lord. :)

this year (yes, i mean 2007) i haven't thought of any new year's resolutions. i duno. i'm just not fond of it kasi mga hanggang 1-2 weeks lang ako, bibigay na. hehe. but i just thought of one this morning, that is, to regain my sanguine-ness back! i used to be a choleric-sanguine, but now i'm choleric-melancholic. i duno if yung pag-take ko nung personality test yung reason kung bakit naging iyakin year ko ang 2006. pinanindigan ko ata masyado yung results. hahaha. i just missed being sanguine, being able to smile genuinely in the midst of problems. i've been very depressed-prone lately. hehe. that's why it's just so good that god created new years so that it'd be much easier for people to move on, or to change whatever it is that needs to be changed. sabi nga ni pat nung magkatext kami, "there'd be an excuse to start all over again." and boy, she's right. :)

i'm still in the middle of experiencing pain, but i'm taking it one step at a time. it may be really hard, but i know my friends and my family will always be there for me. in fact, if not for this situation that i am in right now, i wouldn't be able to realize how loved i am. grabe. as in tipong yung mga taong cold sakin dati or yung hindi ako masyadong pinapansin ay concerned pala sakin and nakiki-update sa buhay ko. haha. thanks for the comfort guys. i love you so much. :)

this is just the first day. i WILL make it throught the 364 more to come. :)

hitik tres ^_^

2006-12-24T17:19:00.000+08:00

yeaaaaah i'm so excited. :D

5 1/2 hours before christmas! ayayay! *festive mode*

i actually felt the christmas spirit just this morning, in church. the people were just so jolly that i can't help na mahawa. nyahaha. all were greeting each other, tapos lahat parang walang problema! :) which made me think, why not be happy too diba?! no sense in thinking of my problems and letting these make me miss the excitement brought by the season :) join the people! besides, this is the time to celebrate and remember our baby jesus' coming into this world :)

it's not about us anyway, it's about him. :)

siksik, liglig, umaapaw naman ako for our lord! i just wanna praise him and praise him and praise him! for me this has been a tough year, daming napagdaaanan. i committed so many mistakes, i hurted so much people, i hurted myself, said hi and goodbye to people, so much unexpected happenings. yung mga ayaw kong matapos, natapos na. napaksakit pero, i can say that this was (waaah WAS na! matatapos na 2006 eh haha) the year which really taught me to be more mature in all aspects of my life, spiritually lalo. dahil sa mga problems, these made me cling more to our father, hayayay masarap lang talaga being with him. :)

add to that, always talagang timely ang message ni lord to each one of us.

the message sa church kanina was basically about rejoicing, and being happy. i was really moved, lalo na the message was delivered by pastor dave na super clear, ang galing galing talaga. most people find it very hard to find happiness, mainly because we rely on our external environment, which is very very uncontrollable. most people say, "i'll be happy, if *insert whatever condition here*." i quote john maxwell, "if you make happiness your goal, you are almost always destined to fail." anak ng tokwa, we will never be happy if we think that way! that kind of happiness is natural happiness, compared to supernatural happiness, which is happiness within. yon, yon ang totoo. :D no matter how many or how great your problems are, hindi ka basta-basta manghihina coz you have this true happiness. then will you be able to experience god's favor and be able to live your best life. :) happiness is not a feeling, IT'S A CHOICE. :)

when will you start living your best life? start TODAY! don't wait til the year ends, coz now is always the best time! :D get up and go! the bible tells us to always be happy, it says that we should always rejoice: Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

and, we must always rejoice because "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; HIS MERCIES NEVER COME TO AN END. They are new every morning." (Psalm 188) :)

so, why let problems drown us? masasayang lang mga araw natin, coz even problems have purposes in our lives, sabi nga diba "And we know that all things work together for our good for those who love him, and are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28) even if mahirap intindihin at times kung bakit tayo dumadaan sa mga ganung klaseng problema, let us just entrust all our worries and fears to the Lord, coz trust me, he knows what he's doing. :)

tanong din ng marami, how do i live my life to the fullest and how do i experience god's favor? eto lang yun, 3-point technique (haha parang kill bill):

1. be thankful for each day.

2. grow in your faith with god.

at ang aking favorite,

3. FIND YOUR JOY AND COMPLETENESS IN GOD. :)

i myself is in the process of learning to trust god completely, so i'm not just blogging this dahil ito narinig ko sa church. but i'm blogging this because i am able to understand the message brought to me by the lord, kasi nga, dumadaan ako sa butas ng karayom ngayon. yuck, lalim. haha. ndeee, i am experiencing the biggest trial (so far!) in my life (na alam kong wala pa sa kalingkingan ng mga ma-eexperience ko pa), but still, by his grace, he makes me appreciate him more and he makes me feel that i am loved more than ever, lalong-lalo na ngayon that i am going through a tough time. i believe that in the midst of problems, dun tayo hawak ni lord nang sobra, hindi lang hawak, kundi kapit. we just have to feel it. we have a choice.

my god loves me so much and i acknowledge it, ikaw? kapit ka na rin, makisabay sa kanya. :)

on second thought..

as i logged in onto my yahoo messenger, i have this habit of checking out the status of my friends. this is because i believe that kahit di kami nagchchat (since i rarely go visible nowadays haha) i get ideas on how they're doing just by looking at their status. then this status above struck me the most. hehe. ang kulit. parang ako "oo nga naman.."

yes, please allow me to be emo first because the weather and climate's cooperating with me, so you too ladies and gentlemen, would do well if you cooperate with me. :)

why is it that it's hard to undo things that we have already done, especially if those are things which caused hurt to people? di bale kung good things eh, i don't care if they can't be undone. but hurtful words said, negative actions done..it just can't be erased from other people's memories. why is it that it's so hard to make people forget? forget in a way that these people have learned to let go of any hurt they felt when you've done a thing to them. they say everything takes time. yes, totoo. but why is it that sometimes, when you thought you've done a successful job trying to let go of something hurtful, when you see that person again babalik lahat ng memories, sad or happy, and it makes you miss everything about the person again that sometimes you would want to take the risk again even if it means starting all over again and being hurt again? labo talaga natin noh? hehe.

kung meron nga lang talagang CTRL+Z in our lives, then everything would be better. it would be nice if for example, you had a fight with your mom, then you suddenly realized what you've done, you would just have this CTRL+Z on your system then everything will go back to the time before you had the fight with your mom. ok sana yun.

but then, things would be different.

we wouldn't learn how to learn.

now, who would want a CTRL+Z in their lives? :)

i want to drive alooone.

2006-12-20T20:56:00.000+08:00

how sad. my wednesday night went down the drain. just because i have no transpo. i am supposed to be there now at metrowalk, for nowie's debut or at ust, celebrating with friends for the paskuhan. these are the days that i wish that i would be able to drive alone, without worries coming from my parents. hayayay. i really need to get my license next year, and fast!

tapos after getting my license, start na to practice by having a chaperone sa pagpunta sa school and pag-uwi from school! that was the plan months ago, but still, wala pa rin. grabe, i need to move if i want to push through with this plan! i need a chaperone, sino pwede? hehe. :)

agree with me?

2006-12-18T10:15:00.000+08:00

i got this from my friend's multiply blog and she got this from her friend's multiply blog. hehe. i just thought that i needed to share these to you guys, lalong-lalo na break-up season nga ngayon diba? hehe. but this message doesn't only pertain to romantic relationships, but with any other experience which includes LETTING GO. -_-

"To let go isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy or regret. Letting go isn't about winning or losing. It's not about pride and it's not about how you appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn't leave emptiness, hurt or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the potent remedy. TO LET GO IS OPENING A DOOR, CLEARING A PATH, AND SETTING YOURSELF FREE."

whew. says it all, right? :)

feet torture

2006-12-15T23:42:00.000+08:00

grabe i killed my feet today. wawa naman my feetie..haha. i was out again the whole day, started it by having the DO christmas party sa school. the program was fun, but but..you know..haha. merong hindi nakausap. napakanapakahirap if you have an unfinished business with a person, na you just don't know how to relate or talk to him/her if you guys see each other. know what i mean? ganun.

after the christmas party, of course may aftermath pa yan. ayaw pa mag-uwian eh. so we went pa to festival mall and watched the nativity story. the movie was nice, favorite ko si papa joseph! ang macho macho talaga haha. watch the movie, you'll get what i'm saying. sana lahat na lang ng lalaki ganun, tapos god-fearing pa. waah. :) hahaha.

after that, i bought plato wraps for my dinner. ang sarap talaga, namiss ko yun. then shempre being a matakaw girl, nagdinner pa ulit at fat choi (ata can't really remember the name). bought wanton noodle soup plus shrimp dumplings haha ang sarap. :D window shopping pa konti after then mike dropped me off at bicutan, nakauwi na ko mga 10:45, haba pila sa trike! hay i'm so tired. :

wala lang, i just wanted to share what happened today. obvious bang vacation mode ako lagi na ko nagbblog? i just wish by next year if our 3rd term starts i'll still be able to update my blog regularly. :)

break-up season

2006-12-14T22:47:00.000+08:00

besides christmas season, THIS is the break-up season.

haha. it was just weird that i experienced one just more than a month ago, my friend experienced it a month ago, a friend is experiencing it right now, and to make things even better, we heard this girl in school (kasi nasa washroom kami ni ching, this was after our comcalc finals nung monday) saying that "break-up season" daw ngayon. haha. ang kulit.

napaisip tuloy ako.

is it really possible that god's designing "seasons" such as these? hehe. ang kulit lang, sabay-sabay. was it really his purpose to make so many people learn all at the same time? pwede, di ba? for instance, may makakaintindi sa friend ko who's also a victim of this dreadful season, ako. we could help each other, and keep on reminding each other that only a part of our life is taken away, and we still have ourselves and god to pick all the pieces up and start all over again. to have a clean slate. that we are more pure than ever. that we already have the capacity to know what to avoid and when to avoid. that we are more armed (and fabulous!) and ready than before for the things in store for us.

there goes my melancholic side. i'm still not sleepy kasi, and what i do during these times is to think. think about any possible thing that can be thought of. wala lang. it's just fun sometimes that you get to think of some things that normally most people won't have time to think about. or think about what's been happening to your life, like ako i often think about if this or that is/was the right decision. it's like most of the time i evaluate myself. and mostly this happens inside my room. hehe. that's why sometimes i tend to over-think things. na parang pag may nasabi ako sa isang friend, he/she will just comment "jOn, naisip mo pa yun?!" or "ok ka lang? wala nang nakakapansin nun!" haha. i'm just so in touch with my inner side whenever i am alone. like now, everybody in the house is already in their rooms, handa nang matulog (except for my ate of course, who's having her gig with her band someplace..haha).

nako, i'm being over-reflective here ha. hehe. ewan ko ba, memories just came rushing in. yung happy memories na mapapangiti ka na lang talaga kasi those were memories which are really unforgettable, na kasalanan pag nakalimutan mo. it makes me miss IT tuloy, but not in a negative kind of way kasi as i've said in my previous post, i've learned to let go. pero wag niyo muna ako ihaharap sa kanila nang magkasama. bwahehe. i'm not that strong okay, mga 3 years after na lang. haha. :p

tomorrow na DO christmas party! i hope everything goes well, hindi lang sa program per se, but dun sa mga taong makakausap ko (if you know what i mean..hehe). i just hope that i won't be too distracted and sana ma-enjoy ko yung party :D ok, wag na kayo mag-comment about dito. lalo ka na ching, ate joy, pat, at mom. hahaha. beh. satin na lang yun.

namimiss ko na fishballs ni manong sa may st.schooo. yayain kita, sama ka? :)

oops bum. my bad.

2006-12-14T18:08:00.000+08:00

bigla akong tinamad pumunta sa block christmas party. er. i was excited pa naman. hm. anyway. nagbuhay bum kasi ako today that's why tumuloy-tuloy na at hanggang ngayon di pa ko kumikilos for the party and i don't plan na kumilos. if you wana make me go to a party, dapat wala na ko sa bahay umaga pa lang para i won't to do my bum style of living. hay. na-sad naman ako hehe.

marami kaya pupunta? hm. so far mga 15 lang ata eh.

bawas pa ng isa.

anyway, have fun guys. :)

YAAAAAY. my site's up and running again. WITH links. but the pictures are too big, i can't make 'em smaller. the photos seem normal when i preview them from blogger.com, pero sa actual lumalaki. oh well. though i was amazed with myself that i was able to remember a handful of my friends' links. nice memory. hehe. sa mga di ko maalala, coz i'm sure i'm missing 5-8 of my friends' links, ibig sabihin lang nun hindikayomadalas mag-update. :p

hehe. kaya pag napadaan kayo dito, please leave a message on my tagboard CONTAINING YOUR LINK so i could add you back. :)

wahooo kapagod

2006-12-13T20:39:00.000+08:00

whattaverytiringdayitis. i was out the whole day! okay lang, the exhaustion was worth it, kasi at least i feel more productive pag wala sa house, kasi if nasa house lang ako the whole day, all i do is sit in front of the pc and stay there the whole day. or humiga sa couch and watch tv all day long. plus pig out, plus sleep! buhay tamad. haha. and, my tummy's getting fatty na (buti pa tiyan ko tumataba! bakit arms and legs ko hinde!) because after eating, i just do nothing. hayayay. need to get out of this habit. *please remind me to have my tummy exercises everyday, will ya?*

yay! i'm going out again tomorrow! woohoo for our block party! it'll be held at greenhills, sama ka? hehe. kahit de-blocked na kami since 1st year 2nd term, we still managed to have a christmas party! :) i miss those people, i just wish that we will have a class na c36 lang lahat! haha, quite impossible. :)

i just bought a unisex cap from hang ten earlier this afternoon at the Mall of Asia! sinamahan ako (and sinamahan ko) si micko my kapatid blockmate. sinamahan niya ko coz i would be buying something nga and i'd be needing a guy to have a second opinion if papasa nga bang unisex ang bibilin ko then sinamahan ko siya coz he has never gone to mall of asia, kaya happy kami pareho! haha. :D i got the idea from JV, my churchmate about the gift na pwede ipang-exchange gift. i'd be using this cap for our DO christmas party on friday. ang ganda ganda ng cap, ayoko na siya ipamigay! haha. sana akin na lang! or you guys can give this to me, tutal magcchristmas na! P195 lang oh :p

inggit ako sa makakatanggap nito! akin na lang! haha.

speaking of christmas, i am excited for the things to come sa mga susunod na araw! i can feel the christmas aura, lakad ka lang sa labas sa gabi, you'll know what i mean. :) parang there's just something in christmas nights which makes you tingly all over. just the thought of going to church with the christmas spirit, tapos yung noche buena plus plus plus other eating sessions (ang saya saya!), the gift-giving, lahatlahatlahat. it's just nice to see people very cooperative sa celebration na to, nakakatuwa. :)

ikaw, excited ka na ba? ako OO. :D

now what?

2006-12-12T14:14:00.000+08:00

okaaaay. i now have a new blog skin. buuuuut i have a big problem. I WASN'T ABLE TO SAVE MY PREVIOUS BLOG CODE. andun lahat ng liiiinks. and the tagboard. and..and..everything. waaah.

now what? :(

random post # one million

2006-12-12T11:08:00.000+08:00

haha. it's been almost 3 weeks na pa lang wala akong post dito. maybe it's because ang gloomy kasi ng blog ko na pag vinview ko siya tinatamad na ko mag-update. maiba nga yung skin. haha. :)

2nd term in la salle is finally over! well, at least for me. i only had two finals kasi, comcalc and oblicon. nagsabay pa sa first day, which was yesterday. so now, liwaliw time na lang ako. browse ng internet, text all day, pig out (kahit wala masyado pagkain dito sa bahay haha), magyaya ng friends umalis, wait for christmas parties (SBC, DO and block! yaaaay!) and my favorite, MATULOG. whooo.

tapos ang saya pa kasi this christmas season '06 ako pinakamaraming pera. haha. fulfilling pala na you saved up during the year and now dodoblehin ng nanay mo yung naipon mo. haha. :p masaya i-continue, it makes you restrain yourself, lalo na pag ang dami mo nakikita sa mall, yaya ng yaya si pat mag-quiapo, kumain sa masasarap na resto, at most of all, multiply online shopping! waaah! *weakness* haha.

this just suddenly popped out of my mind habang nag-iisip ng mattype dito sa blog. hehe. i remembered my dynamic duo friend ching na may napakagandang polka dotted bag and green cute cute doll shoes (na i wished heels na lang siya haha) ay nagsend sakin ng text about symptoms of zero love life. nakakatawa siya pero minsan parang totoo.

1. MAHILIG KUMAIN.

2. SANAY SA OUTINGS.

3. TULOG NG TULOG.

4. TV/COMPUTER ADDICT.

5. DAYDREAMING LAGI.

6. TUMATABA.

(check, check, check, check, check, ekis! kelan ba ko tumaba?! haha)

and all other quotes and text messages about love life came flowing in. yan ang napapala mo pag alam ng friends mo kung ano nangyari sayo. haha. pero kahit those quotes and text messages sometimes makes me remember ulit yung mga hindi na dapat naaalala kasi hindi naman masyado nakakatulong (hala bitter. hindee. ok na ko eh :p), part of me still feels thankful kasi it just goes to show that my friends are always there for me. tulad lang nung november 27, hindi ako umuwi after school kasi sa sobrang depressed tinakbuhan ko ang aking gorgeous bestfriends na si rach and pat. :) first time they saw me cry. haha fallen choleric ba ito? :p

pero, he was civil enough to talk to me and continue on with our relationship as friends. salamat porji. yung bayad ko sa essay ha. bwahahah. :p

siguro kaya rin hindi ako nakakapagblog during the past weeks kasi wala naman akong ibang makkwento kasi my mind and heart were greatly focused on what happened to me. tapos hindi ko pa ma-blog kasi everytime i try to start, i just can't finish it. hebigat pa ng feeling eh. so many mistakes were made, but those were lessons to learn. to those people who know me very well, alam nila na i tend to not come out in the open unless na lang pinalipas ko na yung panahon or napag-isipan ko na siya. hindi ako masyadong nagbblog ng emotional etceteras na spur of the moment. kaya ngayon lang ako nagbblog about this after one month. haha.

sa mga hindi nakakaalam na friends, try niyo na lang maka-relate sakin. (get a hint from the symptoms of zero love life *winkwink*) haha. or ask me about it, i'm more ready to speak up now coz i've learned to let go now. :)

yeaaah! christmas naaaaa. X)

feelings overflow

2006-11-23T15:40:00.000+08:00

i think it's time to change into a new skin.

changes in life. difficult decisions. people saying hi's and goodbyes. thanking god for THOSE moments. stumbling and falling. alone time. sleepless nights. heart to heart talks. having a shoulder to cry on. people who love you so much. running under the rain with that person. loneliness. confusion. gratitude.

my life (and everyone's as well) is a series of ups and downs, lots of things are happening to me right now that sometimes i just wish that all of them just leave me. that i live my OWN life. the way i want it to. carefree, free from commitments and responsibilities. i admit, most of the time i don't want to be anything or anyone anymore. i'm tired of being a friend. someone who just have to listen to other people's problems and complaints. i have my own problems already, thankyouverymuch. i am tired of being a daughter. a daughter who needs to study very well, follow her parents and should try as much as she can not to let her family down. i am tired. yes, i am. but still, i live. i try to keep my sanity not just because i have to, but i WANT to. life may offer so much pain, but this pain is the very thing which teaches us to continue on and be a stronger person. besides, i don't get my strength from myself, but from someone up there who knows my limits, someone who would never give me pain which i couldn't bear. it's such a comfort to know that we don't have to live and direct our own lives, because if that happens, i guess love, gratitude, happiness, and all those other stuff wouldn't be existing in our world.

it doesn't matter how many times you fall, but what matters most is how many times you get up and go back to him. that we learn to trust him. to not be scared. to just live our lives every single day, with the thought whatever happens, somebody will be there engraved in our minds.

i want to cry, shout, and dance. i know you won't care.

because with you, I CAN BE ME.

happiness on the go =)

2006-11-14T21:42:00.000+08:00

ewan ko. i can't help but smile. :) parang kahit my grades in school aren't so good this term, i still have this inner peace within me. that everything will be alright. that everything is with someone's hands. that no matter what happens to me, i will still have a great life, greater than i have ever thought of. :)

ang saya pala pag lagi ka masaya, problems can't even bring me down. kahit may mga problems akong naiisip, all those problems are easily replaced by happy thoughts. masaya mag-isip ng masasayang bagay. :)

there are so many things which make me happy, one of them is my SBC family. nakakahawa ang ka-hyperan! hehe. we attended rovy's debut last nov.12 (sunday) at jade valley sa timog. hanep talaga basta may camera psyched up lahat!

kaguluhan!

with the debutante rovy ^_^

ganyan na suot ko kasi we danced king of majesty. wala pa akong pic na naka-dress. hanap pa ko from other friends. :)

my friend's cellphone was lost just today. :( wawa. natataranta talaga sha eh. hay. marami talagang masasamang loob sa mundo. but we know that god will take care of them. kaya smile na lang tayo :)

OOOOOOOO.AAAAAAA!!!!!

2006-11-07T19:19:00.000+08:00

hellooow!! i'm in the scene again! haha. anlabo lang much has happened, most of them were blog-worthy but i haven't had the time (or motivation hehe) to put 'em all here. at medyo lang, pansin ko ang lungkot naman ng last post ko! hehe. :) but nah, i'm happy now.. ;)

favorite ko na mga nangyari sakin were: (1) my wham date with ate normi na natuloy rin FINALLY! and (2) my DOP traning at caliraya, laguna. :) both gimmicks were so so so fun, and they made me closer to people i weren't close with before mangyari to. ang saya saya sayaaaaaa sobra. =) mahal na mahal ko na ang discipline office :D

i (or my friends and the DO) have photos taken from caliraya, i'll post them in my multiply as soon as i have them. excitiiiing raming pics yun =)

yun lang. i'll be starting to update my blog ulit regularly, sana magawa ko. =)

advance enrollee on the go!! haha. exciting, sa monday na enrollment =D

so sick

2006-10-23T23:38:00.000+08:00

why does it have to hurt big time?

i miss you

i miss you

i miss you...

sheesh. tama na ang iyak.

triskaidekaphobia

2006-10-13T17:42:00.000+08:00

interesting trivias. got this from http://www.answers.com/topic/triskaidekaphobia. go to the site for more. :)

triskaidekaphobia - fear of the number 13.

---> Thirteen may be considered a "bad" number simply because it is one more than 12, which is a popularly used number in many cultures (due to it being a highly composite number). When a group of 13 objects is divided into two, three, four or six equal groups, there is always one leftover object.

---> The number 13 also retains biblical meanings. At the Last Supper, Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th to sit at the table (also spilling the salt).

i particularly liked this. :D

---> The composer Arnold Schoenberg suffered from triskaidekaphobia. It is said that the reason his late opera is called Moses and Aron, rather than Moses and Aaron (the correct spelling with two As) is because the latter spelling has thirteen letters in it. He was born (and, it turned out, died) on the thirteenth of the month, and thought of this as a portent. He once refused to rent a house because it had the number 13, and feared turning 76, because its digits add up to thirteen. In an interesting story, it is believed that he feared Friday, July 13 1951, as it was the first Friday the 13th of his 76th year. He reportedly stayed in bed that day preparing for what he thought as his death day. After begging her husband to wake up and "quit his nonsense," his skeptical wife was shocked when her husband simply uttered the word "harmony" and died. His time of death was 11:47 p.m., 13 minutes until midnight. Also, note that the digits of the time of his death add to 13 (1+1+4+7).

---> American singer-songwriter John Mayer had 14 tracks on his album Room for Squares, although the 13th is 0.2 seconds of silence and is not listed on the album cover. Likewise, Hot Hot Heat's album Elevator does not list a 13th track on its cover. On the CD the 13th track is four seconds of random noise. The reasoning behind it is that since some buildings do not have 13th floors, an elevator would not have a button for it.

so, ano? takot na kayo sa 13? haha. superstitions. we still have that one, sovereign god in whom we could trust all our fears. :D diba?

greatly grateful.

2006-10-07T22:50:00.000+08:00

wala lang. i thought that maybe it's time to say thanks to people who, even if they're not a really big part of my life, still made some impact into being what i am now. :)

1. ate normi. hello AP pakner. hehe. well, i have yet to confirm that tomorrow. but, wana say thanks as early as now for being as excited as i am here sa soon-to-blossom disciple-discipler relationship of ours. i am looking forward to the text messages and wham bonding dates with you, ate. :)

2. coco. hey, we might not be really friends, dahil we only see each other everytime dan and lj are around (hehe), but i wana thank you because you may not know it, na-iinspire (sabay kinikilig!) ako sa inyo ni dan. your relationship teaches me a lot of things, i duno, to love each other? haha. hinde joke lang. basta, i see something between you and dan (add pa your sweet photos which i see online!) which makes me a fan of the both of you. wag kayo maghihiwalay ha! mawawalan ako ng idol. at baka mas maging idol pa kita pag nakakain na ko sa razon's. XD

3. ellen. i know we have had "issues" in the past (i duno if hanggang ngayon meron pa rin, pero baka medyo it's more on MY own issue na lang haha), but i wana thank you for taking care of my (our) best friend, one of the most important persons in my life, LJ. i've seen your closeness to and big concern on him, and i can say that dyorj is blessed for having you as his best friend. i don't really know everything about you two, but i want to say sorry na rin if ever i hurted you at one point. maybe i was just so insecure, too insecure to the point that i wanted to take control of everything. basta, sana kahit assumptionista ka at kulasa ako, prens pa rin tayo. ;) hehe.

4. carlo. i miss you soooo much ponds. haha yak mushy hindi bagay sayo. wala lang, thanks for all the laughter and comfort you've given me for the past 2 years of our college life. ikaw lagi yung nagpapangiti sa mga tao pag down na and stressed sa schoolwork. i miss your staple smile in my digicam and your funny face. :D

5. valjoy. o diba super unexpected na mag-tthank you ako sayo? hehe. i just thought of you, and i want to thank you rin for being one of LJ's closest blockmates. tapos i wana thank you pa kasi you're one of those people who makes my self-confidence build up, idol na idol mo beauty ko eh. haha. whenever we see each other, you never fail to tell me "girl, ang pretty mo!" or "grabe joanne, ang ganda mo talaga!" hehe. i really really wish that we can be close friends, coz i see a lot of friendship potential. :)

i have so many people in my mind with whom i want to extend my thanks to, pero shempre hindi naman pwede isa-isahin ko dito, diba? and, di naman lahat ng gusto ko pasalamatan ay nagbabasa ng blog ko. maybe i'll just give my thanks in other ways, so wag na lang kayo magtataka if i suddenly do or give something that is rather unexpected. it's just my way of saying thanks. ^_^

dedbol.

2006-10-06T08:09:00.000+08:00

2006-09-26T14:59:00.000+08:00

i had a happy schoolday yesterday. haha loser, napaka-generic nung word na ginamit ko. ano nga ba ang "happy"? anyway, you'll know kasi ikkwento ko. :p

i arrived at school ng 10:10 am, 20 minutes early before my first class starts. tambay muna ako sa tables somewhere at the LS building, at ang weird dun pa ko sa may guys washroom umupo! hehe. wala nang iba e! so there. while waiting, dami ko na-hi-an na blockmates kasi dun sila dumaan. i saw tonee, nico, dan, and george. madami ba un?! haha. well, anyway.

my first class: envscan. we had a group game, where we will be trained to be good entrepreneurs. may challenges na binigay per group. one group had to sell aircons to the people in alaska, another group had to sell medicines to morticians and embalmers. another had to sell hotdogs to vegetarians. another had to sell lawn mowers to condominium dwellers. tapos sa group namin, we have to sell cigarettes to health buffs and athletes. we had to present our product either by tv commercial or radio advertisement. yun nga every group presented, tapos in short, nanalo group namin! bwahaha. what can we say? innovative kami eh :D

tapos the day flew by, tapos before i knew it, oblicon na! hehe. last subject na at 6 pm na un! recitation galore na naman, mangangawit ka sa kakatayo kasi ang tagal magpatayo nung prof, dami nya itatanong sayo! ching was super nervous kasi nung friday tinakot ko siya na malapit na siyang matawag, kasi alex was called na, e malapit lang yung index cards nilang dalawa! hehe! ayan stressed na naman tuloy ang forever blockmate ko! haha! i was observing sir heffron sa pagbunot ng index cards, shinuffle niya! kaya it was possible na mauna ako matawag kay ching. i was kind of day(night?)dreaming pa, tapos there natawag ako! tinayman ko, and i was standing for half a period, 30 minutes! hehe. :)

inutusan ako magdesign for a tarp for the discipline awareness month, the theme is 70's. imbis na makagawa ako ng design, natuwa lang ako sa kakatingin ng patterns and stuff. haha.

i want this notebook! ang cute cute cute. with the dots and stripes pattern. :D

tapos i want my room na ganito:

di mashado kita, but dots and stripes din yan! hehe. :D

then i'd have another set of bedsheets and pillowcases, and i want 'em with this pattern:

tapos i want to have slippers like these para masaya!

i want the pink one more!

haha adik, ang cute siguro pag ganito mga gamit mo no?

i am such a color-ific person talaga. nyehehe. :)

kayo mag-isip ng title hahaha

inspired na naman ako mag-LSDC (la salle dance company) jazz! hehe! i just watched their major concert kanina with ching, and yeah, i quite enjoyed it naman. thing was, basta may voice-over ek ek sila while dancing, and i didn't get anything dun sa voice-over. can't understand the story behind the dance and the voice-over! anyway, basta nanood na lang kami ni chingy..haha.

you know what? i miss someone. si dyorj! grabe, it's been 3 weeks since i've last seen him. september 2 pa! kamusta naman september 23 na! anyway, but at least we still get to talk sa phone, kahit na same kaming busy (but i think i'll never be as busy as he is! champion sa stress yung sa kanila haha). good thing we still know how to manage our time, as in hindi yung lagi kami nag-uusap, etc. one way of disciplining myself na rin 'to to avoid telebabad..haha. :)

yipee. sleeping day tomorrow :)

la kasi ako class or duty sa DO. hehe. i miss waking up late!

anyway, what happened to me today? nothing much naman, same pa rin, had a long day. haha. surprisingly, i didn't hate my litera prof that much, compared nung monday. hehe. na-irritate lang ako na she arranged us alphabetically. but at the end, ok lang din coz alex was in front of me, then ching was the seatmate of the one behind me. so may chika moments pa rin, mas discreet nga lang ^_^

sayang yung gonuts ko! bibigay ko na sana kay *sibling* eh! haha! siya una pumansin sakin! bwahaha :D anyway, long story (long ba?! o tinatamad lang ako? hahaha) pero intrigued talaga ako sa kung ano yung sinabe ni "gf" sa friend niya about me! chingy kasi eh! haha!! simula friday di tayo magkkwentuhan about *sibling* or gf pag litera! haha! puro dyorj dapat! nyahaha! :D

second week stress

2006-09-18T22:59:00.000+08:00

rwaaar!!! medyo 2nd week of classes pa lang namin from sembreak, at naffeel ko na parang week before finals na ito ha! ANG DAMING GAWAIN! is it me, or talagang mali lang yung combination of subjects na napili ko for this term? parang yung mga napili kong subjects hindi dapat magkakasama dahil matrabaho itong mga ito! *_*

kamusta naman, at sabay mo pang ganap na DO officer na ko, so MORE WORK! oh great. may monthly reports pa kaming issubmit para dun. hindi lang siya basta "extracurricular" something, but you have to work hard! tapos i should keep my GPA 2.5 para di manganganib! pero okay lang, alam kong mamahalin ko 'tong pamilyang DO ng DLSU. :)

natutuwa ako kasi i have a math subject na ulit, after 2 (or 3?) terms! haha. calculus eto mehn. mahirap daw sa 2nd half ng term, sabi ng mga blockmates kong nakapagtake na, but this is math, and math and i love each other, so ayos lang. hahaha. :D problema nga lang, halimaw magpakopya ng notes ang prof namin, napapasuko kamay ko! wawa naman hands ko nyahaha.

nawindang ako sa mga binigay samin ng ENVSCAN prof ko na mga homework! for the past days, wala shang binibigay, tapos ngayon apat kagad!! gash..waaaa.

nag-hide and seek kami ng engltri prof namin ngayon. ang kulit talaga. hehe. sa L310 ang original room namin, so pumunta kami dun ni ching ng 340. tapos pagkatapos naming mahingal sa kakaayat, makikita na lang namin sa pinto ng L310 na "please proceed to A1406" daw. kamusta naman. sa mga hindi nakakaalam, parang naglakad ka lang naman from one LRT station to another. ang layo talagaaaa! so pumunta na kami dun. pagdating namin, proceed to A1401 daw. so okay sige at least few steps away lang siya. ayan nagsettle na kami dun. after 10mins, may dumating naman na nag-announce na proceed to G211 daw! ano to taguan?! ang kulit! lipat na naman ng building! naglakad na kami along taft (literal!) ni ching dahil sa kalilipat ng classroom! haha. ayan 30mins tuloy yung nawala sa period. pero okay lang gusto ko nga yun eh! haha! di nga lang nakakatuwa na hanggang sa end ng term ay sa G211 na kami forever! eh sa LS lahat ng class namin ni ching! kamusta naman bahala na kaming ma-late sa next subject w/c is LITERA1?! naku i hate the prof pa naman. rrrr. pero masaya din pala ako, kasi home base ni *SIBLING* yun eh bwahaha labo :D

speaking of LITERA1, I SOOOO ABHOR MY PROF. hehe. excuse me for that, pero irritating talaga siya eh! as in pinaninindigan ko talaga yung impression ko sa kanya na loser nung college kaya ngayong prof na sha, she's seeking revenge. ugh! stop it na kasi hindi nakakatuwa! mas lalo kang i-hhate ng students mo. tapos nagbigay pa sha ng surprise quiz kanina at she was acting "strict" pa. evil. grr. di naman sha nakakatakot. parang nakakatawa pa kasi pinipilit nyang maging strict. gah.

bakit hindi na lang siya maging parang sir heffron ng OBLICON? ambait bait. cool pa. hay, forgive my LITERA1 prof people, she'll never be cool. haha. ang sama ko na. dito ko lang kasi mavvent out ang frustrations ko eh. besides telling them to ching, alex and james. haha. :) natutuwa tuloy ako sa law, kahit since birth ayoko na sha! hehe. at shempre, tuwang-tuwa naman ang aking ka-dynamic duo na si ching dahil ang kanyang crushie na si mr. lu (tama ba?!) na hindi alam ni chingy kung ang first name ba niya ay kerwin o sherwin, ay sobrang within sight niya kaninang OBLICON. why not diba? nakatayo si mr. lu for 30minutes, w/c is equivalent to a half period! kawawang bata. hehe. kasi nagvolunteer eh, di naman makasagot hehe. napagtripan tuloy ni sir. pero ok lang, entertained naman kami kasi marunong makisakay si mr. lu hahaha. :D mr. lu na ang tawag ko, chingy alamin mo na ang first name! :D

grabe napahaba na naman ang entry ko, dahil alam kong matagal-tagal akong di makakapost ulit. kaya abangan na lang ang susunod na kabanata ;)

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST BESTFRIEND RACHEL!

pramis, simula ngayon susubukan ko nang tawagin kang "rach" at hindi "cheche" o "chechers"..haha. LOVE YOU GIRL SO MUCH! *mwah* :D

IPIS!!!!

2006-09-08T14:49:00.000+08:00

SABE KO NA EH. dapat di na lang ako natulog ulit! di tuloy ako nakapuntang school today. i should be there, paying for my tuition fee na pagkamahal-mahal. but no, tomorrow na tuloy ako pupunta. tomorrow MORNING. goodluck sana magising ako! kasi diba pag saturday til 12noon lang ang office hours? sheesh. if di ako makakabayad by tomorrow, may surcharge na sayang pera! hmph.

ganito kasi yan. i woke up at 4am. pero natulog ako ng 230. bakit kaya ganun? 1 1/2 hours pa lang ako natutulog, nagising kagad ako! why? wana know why?? may gumambala saking ipis!!! yaak kadiri talaga. rrr. natutulog ako ngayon sa room ng bro ko, kasi gusto niyang makipagpalit ng room muna. sarap daw matulog sa room ko, ako naman pumayag kasi gusto kong room yung madilim pa rin kahit tipong mga 12noon na. room ko kasi 8am pa lang magigising ka na dahil sa araw! so yun.

oh yun nga, ung ipis. so natutulog ako diba? mahimbing eh. kaso medyo naaalimpungatan (tama ba? hehe) ako kasi parang may "thing" na nagccreep sa katawan ko (buti na lang nakakumot ako!!! aaaah!!). tapos nafeel ko na medyo nasa chest part ko na yung thing, di ko pa mashado pinansin kasi alam mo naman ung feeling na kapag antok na antok ka pa, feeling mo hangin lang yun or whatever? so medyo binubrush away ko pa ung "thing" kasi pwedeng buhok ko lang din yun diba? waaaah naaalala ko kadiri!! then di ko alam, ginising ata ako ni lord so dumilat na ko kasi naddisturb ako eh. nakita ko sa may dibdib ko yung shape ng ipis!! waaaah!!! shempre alam nyo namang ipis phobic ako, so nagfreak out na ko! pero nung time na yun di pa ko sure kung ipis nga yun or kung ano mang insect yun, basta involuntarily napa-upo ako sa bed tapos nagwawala! yung tipong brush ako ng brush sa lahat ng parts ng katawan ko to make sure na wala na nga yung thing na yun sakin?! waaaah! tapos binuksan ko na yung ilaw then i removed all my pillows and yung blanket ko from the bed, then..there I SAW THE CULPRIT!! sa poste ng bed ng bro ko, malapit sa edge nung mattress, andun yung ipis!! asar talaga! so medyo di na ko makatulog after kasi no way i'm going to sleep on that bed again noh! tinapangan ko sarili ko tapos sabe ko papatayin ko ung ipis kaso nawala sha eh! so for 10 minutes siguro naghhide and seek kami nung ipis! haha! kaso di ko na sha mahanap kaya yun!

then bigla ko naisip na graveyard shift pala ate ko kaya free yung room niya! pwede ako dun matulog! hahaha! and so i did. pero mga after 30 minutes pa ko nakatulog ulit, kasi naggross out pa rin ako sa thought na dumapo yung ipis sakin! eek! todo alcohol talaga ako. eeee!

ayan nakatulog ako kaya next na gising ko 1pm na! di na tuloy ako nakapuntang school. :| hehe.

sana wala na yung ipis dun sa room, kasi natutulog ngayon ate ko sa room ng bro ko..lagot! ipis phobic pa man din ate ko.. hahaha :D

end of the term again

2006-09-01T13:56:00.000+08:00

i just got my 1st term second year grades yesterday, and generally it turned out well naman. ok na, happy ako kasi my GPA's eligible for a DL, yun nga lang, di ako makaka-DL. hehe.

(DLSU's grading system: highest is 4.0; grades are in increments of 0.5)

ECONONE (economics) = 3.5

HUMABEH (human behavior in organization) = 3.5

ENGLTWO (research paper writing) = 3.5

RELSTRI (christian morality) = 3.0

ACCOM2B (ACCOUNTING!!) = 1.5 (bwahehe.)

yes, i had no grade lower than 3.0, which is REALLY good. except for accounting. pero, tanggap ko na yan kasi in one of my previous posts, i shared to you guys that i have to get an 81% in the finals just to pass this subject, meaning to get a 1.0 in the final grade. but no, naka 1.5 pa ko! hahaha. sayang nga lang kasi for me to be able to be included in the deans' list, i have to have a GPA of 3.0 and no grade lower than 2.0. i am qualified for the 3.0 GPA, kaya lang, i have a grade lower than 2.0 naman. ngerk. sabe ng blockmates ko sabihan ko daw ng "i love you" accounting prof namin para daw gawing 2.0 grade ko! haha. sira. i'd rather get a grade which deserves me noh. hehehe. :D

so there, ok na naman grades ko. i hope that next term would be even better, yung no grade lower than 3.0, at wala nang 1.5! :)

haaaaiiiiiir

2006-08-31T00:10:00.000+08:00

my parents and i went sa wake ng dad ni lj, and it was nice to see that tita mel's better na. she was smiling and even laughing na kanina. yehey. :)

god's purpose

2006-08-30T10:15:00.000+08:00

friends, let us pray for the soul of lj's dad and strength for his family, especially strength ng mom niya.

lj's dad passed away last august 28, 2006 ng 5:05 pm. reason daw is heart attack though none of them saw him na inatake siya. it's just because his dad has heart problems na daw and maybe that's what the doctor said, na heart attack nga daw. what's sad is, unexpected kasi yung nangyari. no one in lj's family had the chance to talk to their dad minutes before he died. lj was in school pa nung nangyari. tinawagan na lang siya that's why he knew of the news.

before that happened, magkausap pa kami ni lj sa cell kasi we're supposed to meet each other sa gabi. i called him up ng mga 430 or 445 tapos happy happy pa siya telling me kung nasan na siya and all. then someone call waited sa kanya. i waited for a long time tapos sa tagal na-cancel na yung call naming dalawa. i called again to ask what happened bakit naputol. then he told me "si dad inatake, nasa heart center ngayon" so ako naman na-shock. i was thinking shempre di na matutuloy lakad namin sa gabi. i let 10 minutes pass muna before i called him up again. baka kasi kumakausap pa siya ng family member. then i called again. he said "wala na daw si dad" shoot mas lalo akong na-shock nun! i was thinking if susunod ba ko. after much deliberation, i decided to go. kasi lj needs me more than ever. i mean, he has always been there for me, time ko naman para bumawi.

when i reached their house, he was there sa labas waiting for me. paglapit ko sa kanya, there were no words, hug lang kagad. i felt his pain as i hugged him. after ilang seconds, he just said "wala na si dad.." sa sobrang wala naman akong masabe kasi kahit sakin di pa nagssink-in na wala na talaga si tito, nasabe ko na lang "ok lang yan, ganyan talaga.."

after that, we went inside their house na, there were many people, i guess mostly relatives and neighbors. i approached his mom and greeted her, then kissed her. her mom and i aren't close, takot nga ako sa mom niya eh. hehe. but at that moment, i felt a connection. i mean, sabi ni lj natural na suplada lang talaga mom niya but when i kissed her mom, she held my hand and she squeezed it. grabe mas lalo kong na-feel yung pain sa mom niya.

i spent the time with lj and his family from 9 pm to 4 pm the next day, di ako makaalis kasi parang as much as possible, i wanted to give support sa kanila, and i really really wanted to share what god wants to give his family, his plans and his will for them. god is so good that i had the opportunity to open that up kahit kay lj lang. when we saw his dad, lj told me that "bakit ganon? ang bata pa ni dad. magffifty-five pa lang siya. unexpected sobra eh. iniisip ko pa nga na makikita pa niya ko mag-graduate, at ikasal at magka-anak." he also told me that the night before he died daw, the doctors who offered a scholarship kay lj were in their house daw, talking with lj's parents. then his dad told the doctors that they're so proud to have an intelligent son like lj. tapos biglang the next day mawawala na dad niya. kaya naman when his dad died, lj told me na sobrang nanghihinayang daw siya kasi daw "profession" niya ay nursing and he'll be a doctor someday pero wala daw siyang nagawa. and nahihirapan siyang isipin that his dad struggled for his life but there was no one to help him. i just told him that he wasn't there naman when it happened, in fact no one saw him. and he wasn't a doctor or nurse yet. in the future he can save as many lives as he can. i'm sure his dad will be proud of his son. he might not save his own dad's life, pero he could save another dad's life. that moment i knew that god gave me the wisdom and right words to tell lj para ma-comfort siya. i told him that wag siyang manghihinayang kasi god has a purpose for letting this thing happen. we might not understand what his purpose is, we might even think na unfair yung nangyari, but god has a greater plan, one that we cannot comprehend but when his plan is completed, it would be just as grand as we ever thought it would be. it could even be greater.

i have never felt what it's like to lose a dad or a family member. kaya it was kind of hard for me to give comfort to lj, lalo na he has experienced more things compared sa akin. but by god's grace, he was able to help me give wisdom and strength para makausap si lj in a way that can comfort him.

i would be going back sa kanila later mayang gabi, and i really pray that his mom and his family are better now.

tito rainier, you've been a good husband to tita mel and a good dad to ate manay, ate shel, ate tata, tj and lj. i pray that even if you're gone, the legacy you left your family would remain so that in whatever they do, their acts would be to make them closer as a family and would make you even more proud. goodbye tito and god welcomes you now to his kingdom. :)

manners please!

binagsakan ako ng telepono ng isang madre.

oo, isang madre. she's sr. _ _ _ _ _, MACE. my relstri teacher. ugh. long story, but in short, ching and i are in danger in her subject. she called me up just a few hours ago and asked me about my community service, the requirements i submitted, etc. etc. and so i did. then she told me that in her record, ching and i failed daw because of that community service. then i explained again. blah blah blah. and then there was sir moi. si sir moi he's the person in charge with our community service records and he's supposed to coordinate (PROPERLY!) with sr. _ _ _ _ _ MACE about our community service. problem is, he forgot about the day that ching and i talked to him regarding our requirements in community service. tapos binigay niya kay sister FAILED?! then ching and i are the ones suffering now dahil sa kapabayaan niya? grr eh we did our job na nga eh. tapos kamusta naman ako pa yung napagalitan kasi sister had my landline tapos long distance yung kay ching kaya ayaw niya tawagan.

then sister told me that she only got the record today but sir moi already submitted it to her office YESTERDAY pa. tapos ngayon lang manggagambala si sister pinky? as in she called me 8:30 pm na duh kamusta pano kaya yun malamang pag tumawag ako sa outreach office sa school wala nang tao nun lalo na saturday ngayon! eh kung kinuha kaya ni sister yung record yesterday? so sana she was still able to check it then matatawagan pa niya kami regarding the matter and friday yun, school day so may TAO SA OUTREACH OFFICE.

now i don't know what to do kasi sister wants us to arrange this issue by tonight or tomorrow (ata) but i know that she wants it fixed by TONIGHT. pano naman yun sunday bukas mas lalong walang tao sa la salle!!! kasi she's going to zamboanga na daw tomorrow ata and she's fixing our grades na. eh sha rin pala crammer eh. so mga fellow students, pati ang teachers nagccram! eeeh ching and i still have to find sir moi's cell # at hagilap ako ng hagilap kanina pa wala ako mapagkunan!! i already called la salle na rin and asked "do you have contact numbers of all employees working in la salle?" oh diba parang terorista ang dating humihingi ng info kahit di ako kilala nung kausap ko? hay! i'm just so desperate!! i don't want to fail just because may nakakalimot gumawa ng job niya noh!! aahh!!!

going back to sr. _ _ _ _ _, MACE, i was explaining my side and i kept on telling her that "sister we have the paper that the outreach office gave us to prove that we did submit the requirements." then she told me "why didn't you follow up with sir moi that blah blah blah" (my mind was getting blurry dahil kinakabahan na naiinis na ko) then i told her "he told us that we give the donations to tita emma and HE WILL BE THE ONE TO CHECK AND FOLLOW UP IF WE REALLY DID GIVE DONATIONS." pero sige pa rin si sister at galit na siya take note. then she said "you know what? you're delaying me blah blah blah when i get back from zamboanga i still have to adjust your grades if ever you really did give donations chuva blah blah" so parang ako ayoko na ulitin yung sinabe ko sa kanya so i just said "we're now looking for sir moi's number sister" tska "sorry sister." after that sorry, WHAPACK! binagsakan ako!

yun na! di ko na na-take yun nagalit na ko. sobrang gusto ko na siya sugurin sa bahay niya kanina at ipakita sa kanya ang papel na proof na ginawa namin ang dapat naming gawin! alam mo yun inapakan niya dignidad ko eh, she didn't take into consideration my side? di naman namin kasalanan ni ching na one guy forgot to check what he had to check noh. i'm sorry for this but i lost respect na with that prof of mine dahil dun sa ginawa niya. bagsakan ka ba naman ng telepono noh. i mean, she teaches CHRISTIAN MORALITY but she can't even practice it? pano naman yun diba? sige, tao lang siya at nagkakamali but i was just hurt that of all the people who can do that to me, madre pa, the one who you least expect to do that thing to you. grabe. magulo na mundo ko hanggang maayos ko 'to. i don't want to flunk relstri noh. please lang. ugh.

oh shucks. tomorrow is my last day before sem break. hell day din tomorrow. :( i'll be having my accounting finals and economics finals. no prob sa economics, but accounting? i have to get an 81% to pass the subject. :( waah. and because i overslept during the loooong weekend, (saturday to tuesday), i'm now cramming for my business case and folder to be submitted tomorrow din. waaah. please pray for me, for wisdom and strength. i badly need packs of extra joss right now, kasi walang tulugan 'to but too bad we don't have any here. so i guess i just have to settle with cups of coffee, which for your info, are not comparable with the effects given to me by extra joss. so swertehan na lang kung di ako makatulog tonight. X) haaay just pray for me friends, will ya? thanks thanks. :)

ang dami kong dreams sa life. sobra. kamusta naman tapos gusto ko pa lahat yun magagawa ko. excited ako kasi alam kong kaya ko siya, di ko lang matiyempuhan. katulad na lang ng mga short-term dreams ko:

1. mag-discipline officer (better known as DO paragon) sa DLSU. --> by next week malalaman ko na kung magkakatotoo 'to. pagpray niyo ko sana matanggap ako. hehe.

2. i want to run for student council. una kong ipaglalaban ay ang maling sistema sa priority and non-priority enrollment. pag bumagsak ka, dapat may chance ka pang maging prio ulit provided that when you take your failed subject again, you get a grade of 2.5 or higher than that. hindi yung dress code or attendance policy yung laging issue, minority lang naman ang apektado dun. i believe mas maraming matutuwa kung enrollment policy ang minumove. nakikita ko na ang pamumulitika sa DLSU.

3. gusto ko sumali sa LSDC (la salle dance company). mahal ko na ang jazz, kahit di ko pa siya nasasayaw talaga. cheerdance and cultural dance pa lang ako eh. pero yung moves ng jazz okey sa olrayt talaga sakin, as in feeling ko magniningning ako pag sumayaw ako nun. hahaha ang yabang. miss ko na sumayaw eh.

4. harlequinn theater guild. sosyal ng pangalan! gusto ko rin diyan, aacting ako (uy may acting skills din ako pero grade 6 pa huling nagamit bwahaha)! natutuwa ako pag nanonood ako ng mga theater plays, tapos lagi ko naiimagine na ako yung umaarte sa stage. exciting :)

5. to lead the upcoming dance ministry sa church, together with jv. nabalitaan ko marami daw nagsign-up from our sister churches, and ang saya naman. sana matuloy na yung first ever performance namin sa next youth worship, this last sunday of august. yeees.

6. maging print ad or ramp model. yes yes. vtr na lang talaga eh. na-prove ko na sa sarili ko na, cge na, i have what it takes naman. nahihiya kasi ako if i just suddenly barge in an agency's office at sabihing "magv-vtr po ako" wahaha. so ayun may lumapit na sakin so kulang na lang ay tulakin ko na sarili ko pumunta sa makati!

7. maging LAmb (lasallian ambassador). eto yung parang welcoming committee ng university pag may incoming freshmen. sila yung mga unang makikilala ng freshmen kasi as early as orientation which is the week before regular classes, kasama na nila ang new babies of la salle. gusto ko yung ate/kuya factor eh. hehe. pag naging DO paragon ako, medyo wish come true na rin 'to. hay nako love for service nga naman oh.

8. maka-experience na ng hands-on sa business management as early as now. para may mapagpractisan na. so moma and dadi, bilin na yung sweet escape! mag-franchise na rin ng holy kettle corn! hehe.

aim high pasay ang dating ko dito! pero ok naman mangarap noh? hehe. reachable naman 'tong mga 'to eh, so exciting kasi sobrang challenged talaga ko ngayon :)

alter ego taking over toot toot toot

i love me yeah yeah yeah.. :)

i have a new haircut! again. whee. and mind you, this cut's a drastic one. as in grabe pati ako nabigla na kaya ko pala i-keri ang ganitong cut! bwahaha. miraculous talaga ang salvo salon and of course, my hair gurus, pat and ate joy na nagawa nila akong maging mas daring pagdating sa aking hurr! so my cut's now anime-like na parang emo na ewan! bwahaha imaginin niyo na lang si joanne marie hernandez emo ang buhok?! bwahaha. ang kulit ng ate ko andami na niyang sinabe na kamukha ko dahil sa hair ko hahaha. i can't remember yung mga names, except for amelie, sa sound of music daw. so eto siya:

whapaaack!

konting edit lang, pahabain ng KONTI na tipong yung bangs natatakpan yung eyebrows tapos yung length hanggang sa neck, na korean style medyo, ayus! joanne na joanne na! hahaha. :D sabe ng ate ko si sophie neveu daw 'to. astig hehe. wala pa ko photo sa pc kasi di ko mahanap yung digicam kaya sub muna si amelie para lang may idea kayo kung ano na itsura ko! hahaha.

gusto ko talaga mag-double degree course! now na!

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY DAN SEGUNIAL! :D

marami akong significant learnings this week. even if tuesday pa lang. :D

(disclaimer: some things written on this entry are for entertainment purposes only. kahit ako hindi ko sure kung totoo lahat nang ito. hehe. except yung kuyakoy and kuyakot, totoo yan.)

SUICIDE - this is a kind of drink na pinaghalo-halong coke, orange, sprite and rootbeer. in fairness, ang sarap niya. so there. suicide. so pag nag-order ka, "waiter, gusto ko ng suicide!" hehehe.

KUYAKOY - this is where when you sit on a rather high bench/chair, yung swinging action ng legs mo. in order to be called "nagkukuyakoy", both legs should be swinging simultaneously.

KUYAKOT - same as the one above, except that your legs are swinging alternately.

APIPAX - makating balat sa gitna ng mga daliri sa paa. yaaak. haha.

HIMBO - hiningang imburnal. hehehe.

HOPLAKS - pala-tae, walang ginawa kundi umebak

HUMAL - nahihirapan magsalita (dahil sa sipon)

anyway..hehe. pero serious na. i like these quotes. let us learn from them.

"mistakes make you think. they make you realize what you had. what you've lost. and what you've taken for granted. they make you realize that sometimes there are no next times, no timeouts, and no second chances.."

"a person who truly loves you is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face."

"sometimes, your pride tells you that you can't --- you won't --- wait. but in reality, you're waiting. you're hoping that the universe will fall into place and that person will come back to you. it doesn't mean you're stupid. it means you have hope. and that you truly loved. if what you hoped for didn't happen, it wasn't for you. don't lose hope. when you lose hope, you lose faith. and when you lose faith..everything else will crumble."

"notice how god opens millions of flowers everyday without forcing the buds. don't try to force anything. let life be a constant letting go and letting god. in his time, he will make everything beautiful."

enrollment time. :D
