after 10 years...

My last post was last October 26 or 27? Hahaha. Haven't been posting much cause been busy with the start of practicum (crowne plaza galleria manila, come visit me there hehe) and adjusting to a whole new routine. Since Nov.12 ganito na buhay ko:

• 5:30 am - wake up.. or at least try to..
• 5:45 am - eat breakfast
• 6:00 am - check ng email and stuff sa internet (super sinisingit ko lang toh xc there's really no other time)
• 6:15 am - take a bath
• 6:45 am - dapat umaalis na ng bahay
• 7:15 am - ideal time to ride the fx at philcoa
• 8:00 am - supposedly nasa hr dept na
  
• 8:30 am - punta na sa assigned dept
• 12 nn - 1pm - lunch break
• 7:00 pm - tapos na sa work
• 7:30 pm - dapat pauwi na

Ideal schedule yan, but most of the time hindi rin nasusunod. Usually mga past 7am na rin ako nakakaalis dito sa bahay, kaya saktong 8:30am na ko nakakarating. Tapos pag maulan, 5-10mins late. hehe. Yung lunch break nae-extend kasi usually wala pang tao sa assigned dept ko kya tambay muna sa training room or stay sa assigned dept to answer phonecalls. Pag pauwi naman usually ang dami pang kwento with fellow trainees sa training room (usually about horror stories hehe and i'm not talking about ghosts here) kaya napapatagal ang paguwi.

Changes sa routine ko:

• Maagang pag-alis ng bahay. Sanay ako na 15mins before the start of my class lang ako umaalis ng bahay. Ngaun i have to take into account adjustments sa oras, traffic sa edsa, pglalakad from here to the tricycle station sa knl etc. I also pay attention now to the traffic reports we hear every morning at radio stations and tv shows. Eh dati wala talaga akong paki dun..
  
• Kelangan ko na ng payong ngaun. Haha. Dati nabubuhay ako na walang payong at pumapasok sa UP. Ngaun, hindi talaga pwede. Sa paglakad pa lang papuntang knl at sa overpass sa philcoa, hindi ka na mabubuhay ng walang payong pag umuulan. PAg sa school kasi dati, hiram kung kanino okay na or minsan mas pipiliing wag na lang muna umuwi para magpatila ng ulan..
• Paglalakad ng mas madalas at mas malalayo.
• Hindi na naabutan ang shuttle sa paguwi.
• 9-10pm na nakakauwi.
• Uuwi para matulog lang.
• Hindi paghawak sa computer (dito sa bahay) at pag-internet the whole day.
• Wearing the same kinds/colors/types of clothes every day: white collared top, black slacks, black closed-shoes with heels and blazer.
• Naka-ponytail the whole day.
• Naka-make-up. (Kahapon tinray kong wala, ang saya, pero tingin ko mukha akong bata! haha)
• Pagsakay ng mrt araw-araw. (may mrt card na ko.. hehe)

Ayun muna naisip ko for now.. Kaya nung first few days ko, i was not that happy talaga. Sobrang pagod at ang bigat ng feeling. Ang dami kasing adjustment na kailangan gawin.. nde lang sa routine pati sa mga pakikisamahang tao, mga gagawin etc.. Pero ngaun, i'm happy to say na i'm doing really well. Nae-enjoy ko na siya at mas excited na ko pumasok. I'm also making new friends and enjoying my time with them. Ang cheesy pero totoo..

I still miss CHE, the tambayan, everyday school life, UP life as a whole, friends, sleep etc pero it's really getting better. Sana lang i can spend more time with hs friends (bloomfields??), sharpers etc... ^_^

Magpapasko na naman!! Ma-feel ko kaya sya?? hehe. We'll be working until dec22 daw.. tapos balik work sa 26. Kmusta naman yun? I miss everyone.. hayy =)

happy, happy birthday dear neighbor for life steffie!

What a day to celebrate you turning 20! Tagaytay road trip? Picnic lunch sa picnic grove? Impromptu trip to the Palace in the Sky? DQ stop-over at eastwood? Totally unplanned dinner at Heaven n' Eggs?

What do you get? A llooooonnngggg, busog and uber fun but bankrupt day!! Just the way we like it. ;)

Oh, wala nang iyakan ah. Being twenteen is nothing to be scared of. Isipin mo na lang in a few months 21 na kami ni jozelle at ikaw 20 pa rin for the next 364 days. Dba? haha. At talagang damay c jozelle.. mwahahaha..

What a day! Thanks, thanks to steph for our delicious picnic, rusan for being such a great and (very) reliable designated driver and jozelle for capturing everything in her digicam. Ako? Walang contribution haha!

Seriously guys, one of the best times ever. ;)

kain, kain day

This day is so such. I am soooo busog.

Foodtrip day with Jozy, Steph and Rusan..

Katamad magkwento haha.. Basta punta kaming Serendra for lunch at para magikot-ikot na rin..

Tapos we ate lunch sa Brother's Burger..

Then went to Lord's something (nakalimutan ko na) .. eto daw kasi yung pastry shop sa princess hours so of course hinanap namin. Thanks to tina's directions nakatikim kami ng masarap ng egg tart. Yun pa mismo kinain in Prince Gian sa Goong! haha..

Tapos Rusan bought a cupcake from Marta's Cakes..

Then nag Cupcakes by Sonja kami.. Ayun busog. Pero i love my cupcake flavor.. i forgot wat na eh. Basta yung may banana and cream sa taas. Love it!

Then we decided to go to eastwood to eat dinner.. Teriyaki Boy! Hindi ko maubos order ko xc nakakasawa sya haha. Tska busog na rin.

Pero after dinner gusto ko pa sana mag-DQ! But no, umuwi na rin kami..

From 11am to 9pm today kumakain lang kami.. hahaha..

What a way to start the sembreak.. ;P

Obvious ba na tinatamad na ako? I'm just waiting for the pics from jozy!.. ;D
Pagod, antok and super busog... Magpapaka-bum talaga ako bukas!! Wuhooo..

countdown until the thesis defense= 5 days!

I'm not YET panicking about it.. wala lang, feeling ko ang haba pa ng time. Haha. But I am concerned, mostly about the paper.. Si Dr. Lara for sure pamatay mag-check ng paper. The RRL part really concerns me, just because I'll never think we'll have enough sources. Feeling ko there's still more (a lot more) out there, but because of the limited time we have already and other factors, I feel a little bit helpless about it. Pag dating naman sa statistics namin (analysis of data), i'm somewhat confident hehe.. galing yata ng thesis partner ko dyan. Proud? Haha. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan minsan pero expert na sya about it.

Okay pa ba kami ng thesis partner ko? Mukhang okay naman. Hehe. Benta kami cause we meet almost every day and we're in constant communication but every time we do sit down and talk abut our study, laging ang ikli lang ng pinaguusapan namin. Parang we can meet for just 20mins and then have nothing more to say. We set deadlines and try to follow them, but at the same time there are really days when we are lax. Hayy stress.. I can feel it coming again.

Onga pala, I think i'm ready to move on. I'm ready to say goodbye to college life and say hello to the Service Industry. I think i'm ready for my practicum.. I don't want to slow down the days anymore.. I want thesis to be over soon so I can look forward and embrace my future.. Nakakapagod din pala kasi.

wahahaha..

It's raining.. the sky is crying..

I'm bored and sleepy.
Here are some of the songs i like now.. Wala lang, just because.. ^_^


JENNY - The Click Five

She calls me baby, then she won't call me.
Says she adores me and then ignores me.
Jenny, what's the problem?
She keeps her distance and sits on fences.
Puts up resistance and builds defenses.

Jenny, what's the problem?
You leave me hanging on the line.
Every time you change your mind.

First You say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.
We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny, it's killing me.

She needs her own space. She's playing mind games.
Ends up at my place saying that she's changed.
Jenny, what's the problem?
I'm trying to read between the lines.
You got me going out of my mind.

First, you say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.
We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny. It's killing me. It's killing me. Jenny.


BEAUTIFUL GIRLS - Jojo (medyo luma.. but still so true.. ahem. haha!)

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

Yeah yeah

I remember when
I was hanging with my friends
That's when I caught your eye
You thought that I was fly
Right then you wished that I would be your baby (be your baby)
You try to spit some game
Asking me girl what ya name
All that ice upon ya chain
So I asked you the same
Something tells me that we have fun together (fun together)

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when i dutty wine
I know your all mine
Tonight is yours
Tomorrow's for another guy (another guy)

You've been calling me
Leaving messages all week
Was your curiousity
Got ya knees weak

I'm not looking for a man
So I don't want no confusion (no confusion)
I took ya to the floor
Got ya begging me for more
But that was my queue to go
So I hit the door
I left you hot
With your mind is still running wild (running wild)

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when I dutty wine
I know your all mine
If you stick around
Be careful not to fall in love (fall in love)

Now a couple months have passed
Never thought that this would last
Oh everybody asked
How ya got a girl like that
But you should've known
That nothing lasts forever (lasts forever)
I mash up ya mind
When I tell you lies
But boy don't be suprised
That I'm seeing other guys
I'm too young to settle
And you should've known better (known better)

Damn all these beautiful girls (you should have known)
We're only gonna do your dirt (cos I'll have)
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over


That's all.. haha. I guess i'm not really as updated with music as i thought. I'm glad my then favorite song, Hate That I Love You by Rihanna, has finally reached the number 1 spot in the RX countdown. =)

Whooo.. still bored..

last 2 (hell) weeks of my academic life..

sniff..
hehe

i never thought i'd ever miss all this stress.. pero, thinking about it, i'm sure i will come practicum next semester. i'll miss hanging out at the tambayan, just wasting time even if there's a ton of things to do. i'll miss running into people i see everyday and making conversations as if i've not seen them for ages. the chisms of everyday life at the tambayan.. cramming papers, reports, exams etc.. i'll miss the whole experience of waking up early in the morning, but still arrving late in class because i'll be too tinatamad to do anything except go online and check updates from my favorite sites. i'll miss all that and more.. i can't even imagine not seeing CHE for a week! when we're on our practicum next sem, we'll only have to go there once a week for hrim190. once a week is nothing. even if we spend the whole day at the tambayan, it's still not the same. hayy.. that's why even if i'm dreading this next two weeks, i can't help but wish it will take its time and pass by as slow as possible. i waould love to skip the stress of feasib presentation, thesis proposal, 141 exam, 138 exam, LPE etc but i'm not really looking forward to what's after all that. hayy..

ewan ko ba bat bigla akong napa-post ng ganito.. i'm trying to avoid studying for 141 eh.. ;p but all that is true.. nung summer pa namin yan iniisip eh.. best not to dwell on all that, i guess..

UP Rocks!!!

...and kicked a hell lot of ass!!

Wuhoooo!!....
The Cheerdance trophy is back where it truly belongs..
And i've got a feeling it will stay there for quite some time.. ;)



Hahahaha..
Let me savor this moment for a while..
hellow, coming from a 0-14 standing.,, we deserve it!!!

help me help you.. part2

It seems like a lot has changed between us. Tama nga yung saying na "so near yet so far".. I wanna help you, i wanna reach out.. But it seems the circumstance does not really permit me to do so. Nalulungkot kasi ako sa mga nakikita ko, pero mas nakakalungkot na wala man lang akong magawa to show you that i'm here, we're all here naman talaga eh (no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that we're not)..


Ayun na lang muna for now. =)

pictorial day

I had my graduation picture today and i just got home from Balay Kalinaw. This was a pretty exhausting day that's filled with a lot of waiting and wardrobe changes. I was at the Kalinaw at aroung 12.50pm and seeing that there were still a lot of people, i decided to buy a guyabano shake at shopping center. It's nice to walk alone from Kalinaw to SC, i was thinking about a lot of things and sorting out my emotions. Wala lang, minsan masarap talagang mag-moment mag-isa.

At aroung 2pm i had my make-up done and was ready to smile for the camera. I love pictures, i love "projecting" and making faces in front of the camera.. but it feels different when the setting is quite formal and maybe, mechanical? My creative shot was.. i dnt really know how to describe it. There were a lot of gold elements incorporated and it was a "glamour" shot but i was not too happy with it. Wala lang, parang kulang kasi. No problem, though, i dnt really care that much. I just want to get it over with. I don't know why i felt like that kanina. Maybe i was just bored hehe.. I had more fun when we were photographed as a group.

I was one of the first gradcomm member who was shot so i had to wait for quite a while before the actual gradcomm group pic. Good thing toffer was there to talk to and rhea was also there to discuss the wonders of threading one's eyebrows. One time i went up to the balcony of the place and stayed there alone for a good 15minutes. Wala lang. Moment mag-isa ule.

I would love to just relax after 7 hours of the pictorial but i still have to do a powerpoint presentation for our 138 report. I super don't want to attend my 107 class tomorrow morning. Yeah, like, super. But i feel guilty not going.. Siguro tignan ko na lang how it turns out.

I feel... empty? Sad? Maybe just tired? idk.. Maybe I'll feel better when this 138 report is over and done with..

mock interview

Yey tapos na mock interview for our prepracticum subject kanina. It was not as bad as i'd expected it to be. Parang simple group conversation lang siya with our professors about our plans and outlook in life. The (almost) one hour interview flew by so fast, we barely even noticed it. As usual, ang comment sakin--may tendency daw akong mabilis magsalita minsan. Pag kinakabahan din at parang ang dami-daming naiisip, bumibilis talaga ako magsalita in public. It's as if i want to get everything out as fast as possible or else the thought will evaporate or something.. Benta pa dyan i hardly notice i'm doing it. Hayy i need to really check that habit, especially at the real interview for my practicum.

Tapos na mock interview, thesis and feasibility study stuff naman na ule.. haayyy... When will this semester end? ......ayy hindi pala. I don't want this sem to end because when it does, well.. things will be a lot different than what i'm used to... bsta sad yun ehehe..

no classes today...

And i'm not exactly happy about it, especially when i first heard it last night. We were supposed to meet today for our thesis proposal defense tomorrow, and due to the cancellation of classes, we have limited time to talk about the presentation. Which means, extreme stress.. But i'm getting over it. Kaya yan, dapat.. =)

I'm about to be left home alone and i'm thankful for it. I need that few hours alone to work and prepare for tomorrow and that feasibility paper due on saturday. I can't do much work when there a number of people running around the house, radio on full blast and my mom asking me so many things at the same time (haha). ..or excuse ko lang lahat yun kya hindi ko pa tapos mga dapat kong gawin? ;p

On a lighter note, here's katharine mcphee with love story..

"I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay"

--Dave Matthews Band

Why is that when you actually have something meaningful to say (or in this case, blog about) you can't even start.. Look at me for example, i haven't been writing much here (or anywhere else online really) but I have all these thoughts in my head that's been keeping me company the past few days. I guess when some thing is that important, you would rather keep it to yourself..

********

This weekend has been pretty weird.. I've been preparing for gruelling hours spent in actual work (thesis and feasib stuff) but now that i have the time to actually do it, i don't know what to do exactly.. I guess that's why cramming is so much more convenient and more often than not, the only way to go.. ;P

When Peter Pan saw Thinkerbell again after quite sometime, he asked: "Why did you have to go away for so long?"

Thinkerbell replied:
"You never gave me a reason to come back. I was there when you needed me. But I guess you never showed how important I am to your life. Now it's different and now we've changed. But i'm still smiling.."

Peter then asked why?

Thinkerbell: "I myself don't know the reason. It's just that now... it's your turn to miss me.."

I had so much fun yesterday in my first-ever videoke session with sharpers (not counting CTS videoke)! Saturday kasi we have only one class, tapos maaga pa siya natatapos so nagkakatamaran talaga umuwi after. Kaya nagkakayayaan sa Trinoma. Nung una 5 lang kami (shine, aisa, donna, ruji and moi), pero ayun sumunod na rin yung ibang mga tao so lalong mas masaya. Bago kami nag-videoke, tinaguan muna namin c rheiner! Benta toh kasi katxt lang namin sya tapos binibigyan namin siya ng "clues" kung nasaan yung nxt station na pupuntahan nya para mahanap kami. Next time buong mall na yan. Hahaha.. dapat talaga hindi nahuhuli ng dating para hindi napagtitripan. =))

On to the videoke session, the first song i sang was Push the Button:

I'm busy throwing hints that he keeps missing
Don't have to think about it
I Wanna kiss and
Everything around it but he's too distant
I wanna feel his body
I can't resist it

I know my hidden looks can be deceiving
But how obvious should a girl be?
I was taken by the early conversation piece
And I really like the way that he respect me

I've been waiting patiently for him to come and get it
I wonder if he knows that he can say it and I'm with it
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Catch this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

I'm busy showing him what he's been missing
I'm kind of showing off for his full attention
My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission...

.....

Pair kami ni SHine dyan at nakakuha kami ng 100! Wuhooo!! Bwena mano, perfect agad. Some other songs: Dontcha, Because of You (kelly c.), Dreaming of You (fave namin kantahin together nila dona and aisa), Zombie (galing ni shine at aisa!), Stars are Blind, Irreplaceable etc.. Hindi ko na maalala yun iba kasi minsan kakanta lang kami kahit walang nakalagay sa screen.. All those songs, we performed complete with dance moves pa.. I love it!

Humabol c Za, na kumanta ng One Last Cry. Tapos c Kitty and Rach, kumanta ng Ordinary Day, Piano in the Dark (0f course!) and something else na nakalimutan ko. Si Rheiner nag-solo ng UpSide Down.. So great. =)

Aftwerwards, nag-dinner kaming girls together: ako, aisa, dona, porsh, kitty, rach and abi. Medyo napasarap ata kwentuhan at mga past 9 na kami nakaalis. Mga 10pm na rin ako nakauwi. Fun, fun, fun.

Talaga palang malalabas mo ang lahat ng frustration sa videoke eh noh? Sa uulitin! ^_^

While waiting for our turn.. =)

Tanong....

When or will UP ever win?!!


When will they get their 'memorable' 1st win this season??
Sorry.. 4 times na kasi akong nag-expect. Ahaha..

Buti na lang 2 lang dun napanood kong live, or else.. tsss... what a waste..!

But don't get me wrong, i still and will always love the maroons (naks).. No matter what. I'm just getting impatient (i'm sure i'm not the only one) and as the games wear on, it gets harder and harder to watch..





Buti na lang Woody never disappoints.. 8>

"Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved"
--I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
But you can dip out anytime whenever
I can call a car I ain't tryna stress ya
I'm looking for the one with the glass slipper
Baby girl you can be my Cinderella ella ella eh eh eh
-- Cinderella by Rihanna, Jay Z and Chris Brown(=hawtness)


As much as I love you
As much as I need you
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile
Can I not like you for awhile?

But you won't let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget (that I was upset)
Can't remember what you did

You completely know the power that you have
The only one makes me laugh

Said it's not fair
How you take advantage of the fact
That I... love you beyond the reason why
And it just ain't right

One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...
-- I Hate That I Love You by Rihanna and NE-yo

LSS mode na itoh.. more to come! ^_^

Team Paneezzzz...

a.k.a. "The Sharpest", won second place at the recently concluded Geologs Quiz Show! Wuhoooo.. 2nd out of 20+ teams! Something to be proud about talaga. Pero ayun nga kay Shine, "Hindi pa pala tayo ang pinakajologs sa UP!".. hahaha. Benta. I tried to answer the questions with them, nung una okay pa ko, gets ko pa yung mga sagot. Pero habang tumatagal, pagulo na ng pagulo ang mga tanong. May about Pokemon, Shayra (?spelling), Alma Moreno etc.. clueless talaga.. Akalain ba namin na alam nila shine, erin, tope and tina ang mga yun?! Panezz!

Friday the 13th pala today.. May nangyari ba sakin? Hmm.. Wala naman. Normal day. In fairness, natuwa ako sa "meeting" namin sa OZ kanina for our feasib report. Kahit papaano napaplano na namin mga gagawin for the "big" report on saturday (july21). Gusto ko mag-overnight somewhere for that.. ehehehe.. Pero sabi ni tope hindi na daw kailangan.. pero gusto ko pa rin! Ewan, parang mas okay pag buong gabi naplano at naayos ang lahat eh. Plus, makakanood pa kami movie, kain, kwentuhan ganun. hahaha.. Hindi pala talaga yung work yung habol eh noh? =)

Practice day ule ng mga Achendance dancers dito sa bahay tomorrow. Kaya ako, as Manager #1 (sabi ni Tina #1 daw ako kasi almost always akong present sa practices), ang trabaho ko ay ang magprovide ng tubig for them, some snacks, taga-tingin kung okay yung mga bagong steps (as if marunong ako haha), taga-gulo at taga-gulo pa. Minsan iniiwan ko na lang sila sa baba at nanonood ng dvd dito sa bahay, tapos every 30mins bababa ako para i-check kung okay sila. Hehe. So yun ang gagawin ko bukas.. at try makapagbasa sa 141.. hayy. PS. Cge na nga tope, maliligo na ko before kayo dumating (helow ang aga kaya! hehe).. :p

Let's have a bloomfields moment naman..
Nov. 2, 2006 daw toh sa Aruba BAr and Resto

Battle of katips 0-1.. nyek, nyek.. hehe.. Smile na lang kami with our Yumpanada..

ADMU adventure

Nagpunta kami ni Dona kanina sa Ateneo to give out more surveys for the feasib class. In a little over 3 hours, natapos yung assigned 30 surveys namin! Thanks talaga kay Vany (Dona's friend) at hindi kami na-lost sa loob ng campus. Meron muna kaming mini-tour ng ilang buildings dun and sa cafeteria na rin, tapos iniwan na niya kami kasi may class pa siya. Hayun, lumapit kami sa kung sinu-sinong tao para magpasagot ng survey.. kakahiya talaga.. Mas magaling si Dona kasi ako, hindi ko kinakaya minsan. Ehehe.. Mas okay pag onti lang silang magkakasama, kesa around 4-6 na sila at maiingay kasi alam mong they're right in the middle of chisms and stuff.. mahirap mangistorbo. Kaya nung natapos namin yung 30 respondents, hayy.. saya! Pwede na kaming umuwi sa aming home sweet home na CHE tambayan.. =)

Nag-lunch na din kami dun sa cafeteria nila and it was an experience in itself. As HRIM students (hahaha..) it's our duty to be observant and pay close attention to little details in all kinds of food establishments. And the Ateneo cafeteria is no exception. Kahit tapos na kami kumain, paikot-ikot lang kami ni Dona dun at nagtititingin ng food. Astig kasi ang dami din talagang choices. PAti different kinds of streetfoods akalain mong meron? May kwek-kwek (pero quail eggs lang tawag nila hehe), fish balls, cheesesticks, karyoke (?spelling, nde ko sure kung anung tawag nila dun e), fried lumpiang gulay etc.. Nakakatuwa, yun nga lang mas mahal talaga "streetfoods" dun, as expected. Meron ding well-known brands like kfc, waffle time and our favorite, Cerealicious. Aside pa from the usual kinds of stalls na meron din tayo sa casaa.. Great hindi ba? Ehehe.. naaliw din kami.. ^_^

*Will post pics next time.. Yup, may pic pa kami sa cafeteria.. hahaha.. =))

With love.

"Title" yan ng homepage ko sa multiply (vahleri.multiply.com). No reason behind it, wala lang talaga akong maisip. Song ata yan ni Hilary Duff eh, or name ng album nya? Whatevs ehehe.

What did i do all day? Wala. Ehhehe.. Minsan bigla akong matatauhan at may paunti-unting aaskikasuhin, pero generally wala din talaga. Ewan ko ba, parang inaantok lang talaga ako buong araw! I tried watching some episodes of "Which Star Are You From?" but i find myself suddenly losing interest. Parang ayoko na siyang tapusin, peor gusto ko malaman kung anung mangyayari. Weird nga eh. Parang kahit panonood kinakatamaran ko na rin? Haha.

Dahil ayoko na sa WSRYF, tinray ko naman Full House. Medyo okay naman siya, more than half napanood ko sa 1st episode (about 1 hr ata per ep.), tapos ayoko na. Haha. Labo. Baka panoorin ko ule one of this days.. pag ginanahan.

Anu bang nangyayari? No energy.. I think i need a bath. zzzzzzz....

Lovin' this song! Nakaka-LSS na nakakadance-dance pa ehehe.. =)

Cinderella - Rihanna feat Jay Z and Chris Brown

finally..

after almost a week, naayos na rin dsl namin.. ewan ko nga ba sa pldt, bwct sila! sa sobrang asar nila dito sa bahay, baka daw mag-globe na lang kami na internet. okay ba yun? ewan ko kung matutuloy pa pero parang ayoko na kasi okay naman na toh ngaun. pero to teach them (pldt ppl) a lesson ata kaya gusto na nila lumipat. hay.. so mawawalan na naman kami ng internet and phone for a few days? ewan. :p

******
I silently wait behind you
Really want to see your accidental smile
May be you do not understand my heart
I will try to flatter you
I'm the clumsy one in your eyes
I will not give up my will to follow you
I just need you to give me some response
I will accept a smile or a nod
Can i come near a little closer
Confess my feelings to you loudly
Don't shut yourself in your own world anymore
The warm sun welcomes you
Can i come near a little closer
Can i be braver a little bit
Even if i knew it's always a one-way love
I will still keep my gratitude
Smilling to you and say goodbye

******
you're a complete stranger
it is me who confirm the objective of your existence
don't have to wonder any further
we have reached the end of the road
it's been so long, i still can see clearly
to feel how important you are to me
can't be bothered by night or day
i want to show off your every tenderness
We've gone around in circles and finally met
im the one who understand the most of how important you are
it's been so long, i have decided
decided that once i hold on to your hand, i will never let go
We've gone around in circles and finally met
I've promised myself not to find troubles anymore
Because i know what i want
as long as i can lean on your shoulder forever..

******
your unhappy eyes
seem to get ready to push me to the disastrous edge
even if the distance is so close to the eyes
we're still losing focus
the world without you
is cold, like there is no spring, and is filled with fear
the thought of missing you piling up within me
winter is what is left from my four seasons
sorrow, happiness
memories continue to evolve
a calm down world has my longing
also has the boundless emptiness
have you heard the sound of loneliness sneaking in and spreading around
it dwells between us, endures our eternity
have you heard the sound of longing spreading widely on every street
even if you walk once you feel exhausted
i will be here by your side..

"Trinomial" --Aisa Joy Monika

^"Anu ba yung sinasabi niyong Trinomial?!"

Hahaha... winner! Kaya love ko talaga si aisa eh.. :))

Biglaang lakad sa Trinoma today with abi, dona, pinkish and ruji. Supposedly bowling, but unfortch nde itoh na tuloy. I guess not meant to be. Ewan ehehehe. Biglaang ulan xc eh.

Eh parang sayang naman ang araw kung biglang uwi after expecting to go somewhere and do something.. So ayun, matibay kami. Go sa Trinoma para kumain ng kumain!

Una, nag(very,very)-late lunch c erin and rugie sa food court tapos nag-kfc kami for dinner. In between, nagtawanan ng nagtawanan.. Ang babaw nga namin kasi kahit walang kakwenta-kwentang bagay bumebenta. Ewan ko ba. Sadyang bangag talaga!

Si erin, parang lolo xc napakatahimik.. Minsan hihirit ng paisa-isang salita.. Or minsan sa sobrang hina magsalita, kailangan ng interpreter.. So bale, kumain lang tlga siya at nagkunwaring gising the whole time! Parang tutumba na talaga eh. Benta.

Si rugie at dona, ayun.. same-same ehehehe!

Si abi, ayun.. Ehehe! Bsta super bonding kami ni abiabs nung pauwi. Halos 40 mins ata kaming nakapila sa UP/SM north jeep. Kamusta sa tagal? At ang daming bentang tao sa aming kapaligiran..

Dahil sa box-office na pila, ngaun lang ako naka-uwi. Ang maganda dyan, hindi pa pala masyadong late xc nde naman ako napagalitan! Swerte! Nagtaxi na ako after bumaba sa SM jeep para mas mabilis at mas safe for me kesa maglakad dito sa street (wala ng shuttle). Benta yung isa kong schoolmate na kasabay dapat mag-jeep, xc sinasabay ko na sya sa taxi, tapos ayaw nya tlga xc mas nde dw safe ang taxi. Maghintay na lang dw kmi ng jeep.. Take note, lalaki itoh! Ewan ko, takot na takot sumakay ng taxi. Baka nde pa makatulog yun xc nde nya sure kung makakauwi ba akong magisa sa taxi, pero ayaw din naman akong samahan.. Ewan. Basta benta reaction nya! :))

So ayun, medyo hyper pa rin ako.. ang haba nga ng na-type ko eh.

So yeah.. Dito na lang me! Where na you? :p

summer '07

What a journey it has been.. really! =)

stuff..

• Lab mo ba ako? ..Lec kasi kita eh. >>> Sorry bumenta sakin!.. from MMC's video presentation at last night's Upstage.
  
• Meron pa isa: Lav-an, Lav-an o Bawi-bawi.. hahaha.. ang babaw ko. :)) <'love' theme ng presentation nila>
  
• when i'm done with thinking, then i'm done with you. when i'm done with crying, then i'm done with you.when i feel so tired, then i'm done with you. everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way.. Mula sa isang napaka-makabuluhang pag-uusap namin nila Tope at Jozelle nung isang araw sa ym. =)
  
• Eto pa: I've been spending some time, thinking i'd be alright. Don't know if I could really make it tonight. Lie awake in the dark, come down then I start. Thinking about you is almost breaking my heart..
  
• Pwede mong lokohin ang lahat sa tunay mong nararamdaman.. tumawa ka.. ngumiti.. akala masaya ka. Madali na kung sanay ka na.. Pero ang mga mata mo, ito lang ang hindi nakakapagsinungaling sa tunay mong nararamdaman.. >>> from somewhere. ehehe..

Current mood: Bored.. obvious ba? ^_^

Things that can never be ours.. *copied

There are things in the world that can
never be ours.. just because of these
simple truths..

1. They're bad for us..


2. They already belong to someone else..


3. We already lost the opportunity to
claim them as our own..


and



4. They're just not meant to be ours..



so if you're caught up with wanting
something you clearly can't have..


please remember


you may trade in all your cards for
what you want..


in the end, maybe you'll find that it's
not something that you really need..

Comment allez-vous?

Je? Hmm..bien, bien. Merci.

Finally, natapos na rin namin kanina yung pi100 paper namin. Ang tagal din nun gawin:

• may11, friday: 3-6:30p sa Narra Residence Hall
• may12, saturday: 11a-7p sa Mcdo then Starbucks katips
• may15, tuesday: 3-5p sa Mcdo katips
• may 16, wednesday: 11a-1p sa Narra ule

Akala mo ganun kahaba yung paper, pero hindi rin naman masyado. It's 20 pages long pero with title page, intro, conclusion and reference na yun, double space pa. So kung iisipin around 9 pages lang yung body mismo (single-space). Gusto kasi ni sir, concise kaya dapat straight to the point talaga. Nung una, parang ang hirap niya pahabain.. pero tamang-tama lang naman yung nagawa namin so ayus lang din pala kahit unti-unti namin siyang binuo (parang puzzle lang?). =)

French10 news. Group presentation na lang(?) on friday and final exam on monday tapos, tapos na siya! Yey! Pero kung iisipin, napaka-basic lang talaga ng nalaman ko from the class. Mabuti pa rin talagang mag-aral on my own for LPE. :P Dahil nga pala sa french10, love ko na babel fish translation.. hehe. Aliw siya. Pang-status msg.. secret msg etc..

Oh noh. Meron pa rin akong sabit from 1st semester at ito'y walang iba kundi ang Tea Room Menu! Akala ko ang dali lang nyan nung unang nasabi sakin.. But no! Hanggang ngayon ang dami pang kailangan asikasuhin for it. Stress siya.. Hirap pa dyan, yung 1/3 ng team namin nasa Korea! Yeah, si Lee nga. Sana madalas siya magcheck ng yahoo email nya di ba. Kundi baka mag-hysterical sila Mam later this month.. Hayy.. Wag naman sana. Ehehe..

So kahit patapos na summer classes, biglang may mga gagawin pa rin pla.. Nakow, hating this.. but loving ISWAK (ep 7)! ahahaha.. walang kinalaman..

Election day na, bumoto ka na ba?

Bumoto na! Ehehe.. it was my first time to vote and i'd say it was a pleasant experience naman. Mabilis lang din, we were well-prepared by our dad so we didn't have any problems at all. I saw Guia again after 2 years doon sa 3-6 building (where we voted). She gave me her number so we could stay in touch.

Sana manalo ang mga talagang ibonoto ng bayan. Yun lang. =)

Ang dami ko pang gagawin for school. Nakakatamad eh. Nanonood lang ako ng ISWAK sa veoh.com all day kahapon. Nag-start na rin ako manood ng Heroes pero hanggang episode 3 pa lang ako. Okay naman siya, unti-unti nagiging clear ang mga bagay-bagay, pero ang dami agad namamatay. Mas gusto ko pa rin Ugle Betty ehehe.. mas light kasi eh, mas madaling i-digest.

ooh.. look's like tapos na yung dinownload kong ISWAK ep.. ^_^

it's been a long day..

11am-1pm - French 10 2nd exam

1-3pm - PI 100 reporting
3pm onwards - PI 100 meeting with grpmates to do our paper

Ang hirap ng 2nd long exam sa french! Not expected talaga especially after the 1st exam.. Ang pangit pa dyan, may reporting pa ako right after. Good thing maaga natatapos french namin so i had time to "review". Grabe, kinakabahan talaga ako sa report for some reason. I hate speaking in public,.. Ewan ko. Hehe. Hindi naman parang i never want to do it, pero i never like doing it. Sabi naman ni Louie (only blockmate na classmate -->that rhymes!) okay naman daw report ko, mukha naman daw akong relaxed. Buti na lang cause i tend to speak very, very fast when i'm nervous. Good thing i checked myself na from the start pa lang or else, wala na nangyari ehehe..

After PI 100, gumawa na kami ng paper sa Narra residence hall lobby.. Ang stressful ng paper! Ewan ko ba.. Nakaka-drain tlga.. But no, nde pa kami tapos, kaya bukas magkikita pa kami to try and finish it. Hayy.. go., go, go.. :D

*******


Currently listening to:

• Alam mo na yun - The Bloomfields
• Tell me - P. Diddy and Christina A.
• Piano in the dark - Nina
• Tell her - Jesse Mccartney
• Sexy love - Ne-yo

Yeah, napakarandom dba?

Yup, this is what i do to unwind.. :D

still missing "muy bien" or "bien"..

"Where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours, their illusions and their enthusiasm to the welfare of their native land? Where are the youth who will generously pour out their blood to cover so much shame, so much crime, so much abomination? Pure and spotless must the victim be that the sacrifice may be acceptable! Where are you, youth, who will embody in yourselves the vigor of life that has left our veins, the purity of ideas that has been contaminated in our brains, the fire of enthusiasm that has quenched our hearts. We await you, oh youth. Come for we await you."

^Second oral recitation for our PI 100. This piece was said by Father Florentino in the novel El Filibusterismo.


As usual, masaya na naman ang naging mga oral recitations. Pero mas benta pa rin yung dati. Every great performance, we hear sir Maranan say "Muy bien" or "Bien", which means very good or good ata in Spanish (nakakatamad i-research pa yung true meaning). Hindi pa ako nasasabihan ni sir nun, so yun yung goal ko sa next oral recitation next week. As if noh? But yeah, let's reach for the stars.

Nag-ten pin bowling ule ako today. Ngayon na lang ule after 2 years? Kaya ayan ang sakit pa rin ng kamay at legs ko.. Kulang sa practice at stretching.. Pero ang saya nya in fairness, kahit nung una super bano ako.. puro gutter! Pero nung tumagal, naging okay na rin. I managed to get a spare and a strike in consecutive frames.. Benta, kung kelan patapos na tska hihirit ng ganun.

Hey, mukhang buong weekend kaharap ko ang El Fili ah... I need to finish the whole novel by Monday.. Okay lang, it's better than being idle and then have the oppurtunity to start thinking about other things.. yeah.

Ngayon nasa chapter 5 pa lang ako out of 39! C'mon.
Wish me luck.. I'll need it! =)

^^cute ng quote =)

I don't know why i never got to post this entry.. Nasa drafts ko siya for some reason.. Anyway, binura ko na yung ibang nakalagay kasi hindi na applicable ngayon, super luma na eh.

I don't have classes tomorrow.. =) Sa PI100 daw namin every monday na walang pasok (yey!!) tapos sa French naman may pupuntahan ata prof namin eh. So ibig sabihin, hanggang wednesday pa ko walang pasok (tues being labor day). Ang saya! =) Okay nga kasi nung Friday naman tadtad ako ng exams.. Yung parehong subject same day yung 1st exam. Pero mukhang okay naman siya, yung sa PI 100 nga namin pair pa yung exam eh. Benta. Nun lang ako naka-experience ng exam na essay na pair gagawin. I mean, panu kaya magsusulat ng essay kung pair? Actually, medyo summary naman yung essay so hinati na lang namin in the middle yung story. Weird lang. Tamad lang talaga siguro mag-check si sir ng napaka-daming paper na sa tingin ko naman, pare-pareho lang dn ang content hehe. But i still admire sir ah. =) hehe

Yung oral recitation namin nung Thursday sa PI, sobrang benta din. Iba-iba xc naging approach ng mga tao eh. Yung iba napaka-bilis mag-recite just so they can get everything out before forgetting anything. Tapos may isa na napapasigaw habang nagre-recite. Majority of us naman nag-recite lang in moderate speed na kahit without much feelings,we managed to get through it in one try. Yung iba, grabe, nag-drama effect. Haha. Yung meron pa talagang hand movements and dramatic expressions.. Mostly boys yung ganun so mas benta sila.. Sabi ko nga, next time dapat naka-costume na complete with props eh.. hahaha.. :)

So yeah, it was a pretty relaxed weekend for me.. Got home kahapon (from erin's) mga 4pm tapos since then tambay lang dito. Ym, blog, multiply,.. Yep, same-same..

Graduation (friends forever)

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

thursday

T - tagal p ng weekend
H - hay.. dalawa pa exam tomorrow
U - ubber katamad
R - recitation, oral literature recitation today sa PI 100
S - sana ma-gets ko na lessons sa french today..
D - dalawang subjects lang araw-araw pero still feels too long.,
A - ano ba tong gingawa ko?
Y - yEWAN..

blog, blog, blog..

sa PI 100 naman, chapter 22 na kow! Wuhoo.. Tama lang kasi bukas na 1st exam dun.. The only problem? Panu ko nga kaya maalala yung lahat ng nabasa ko?? Haha. Ewan... Bahala na si Batman. Sabi naman niya hindi objective eh.. How i wish that's true..

Bukas exam, today oral recitation ng..


"The church, by refusing to degrade you, has placed in doubt the crime that has been impudent to you; the Government, by surrounding your trials with mystery and shadows, causes the belief that there was some error, committed in fatal moments; and all the Philippines, by worshipping your memory and calling you martyrs, in no sense recognizes you culpability. In so far, therefore, as you complicity in the Cavity mutiny is clearly proved, as you may or may not have been patriots, and as you may or may not have cherished sentiments for justice and for liberty, i have the right to dedicate my work to you as the victims of the evil which i undertake to combat. And as we wait expectantly upon Spain someday to restore your good name and cease to be answerable for you death, let these pages serve as a tarfy wreath of dried leaves upon your unknown tombs, and let it be understood that every one who without clear proofs attacks your memomry stains his hands in your blood."

Yey! Sinulat ko yan without looking at the book ah.. Kala ko xc nung Tuesday na recitation dyan eh,, anyway, can you guess where that piece came from? Clue: it's Rizal's dedication in one of his famous books..

Answer? El filibusterismo.. dedicated to the GOMBURZA..

Yeah, naeenjoy ko talaga PI 100 ko,, yoko lang nung reading reading on our own.. katamad.. :p

blog entry..

thursday morning.. katamad.. puro conjunctions kami sa french.. halos hindi ako makasabay.. so i need to study for that pero parang katamad tlaga..

blog, blog, blog..

tsss...

Puwede nga bang matigil lang lahat ng iniisip mo?? Just because nakakapagod lang siya talagang isipin at parang never mo naman siya talagang mare-resolve.. Sabi nga nila, paikot-ikot lang talaga.. Kahit buong araw mo siyang isipin, wala pa rin namang magbabago. Yung inisip mo kahapon, ganun pa rin naman bukas.. ganun pa rin yun next week or next month. Walang katapusan talaga..

Hayy,, sheesh.. Dapat si Rizal lang nasa utak ko ngayon eh,, siya at ang french language..

back to watching basketball live..

Yey, nanood kami ng game today. After more than a year of taking a break? Astig ngayon kasi at least may friend na kami sa team so mas okay.. Super exciting yung game. As in lamang yung team the whole game tapos sa last few minutes ng 4th quarter biglang hahabol yung kalaban (with sunod-sunod na 3 pts shots). Usually ayoko ng mga ganung type ng games e, yung close fight talaga? Parang ang hirap kasi panoorin eh, especially live. Pero good thing nanalo team namin(? or nila ehehe). Overall it was a fun day spent with good friends.. :)

PS. 15/25 chapters na ko sa PI readings! ..hayy.. onti na lang.. hehehe

help me help you

Where do we start? ..Siguro talking is one way to start noh? Hehe. Pero I've never been able to really talk to you eh. At least not with the things that really matter.. Panu nga kaya yun?

"ikaw lang ang hinahanaap koooo... ikaw lang! .... ikaw lang!.. wala nang iba..."

Yep we love the Bloomfields! :D

Naging fan na kami ni Jozy kahapon nung hinila kami nila Steph and Joyce (with Adette) sa Eastwood para mapanood silang live. Nung una parang kami ni Jozelle, sinu yun?! Never pa namin narinig songs nila or anything about them.. Eh pero dahil we're good friends, sumama kami (at ang tagal na rin ng last bonding session namin). We were not disappointed! :) Nakakatuwa music nila at ibang-iba sila sa current bands ngayon.. Astig talaga. Sobrang nakakabilib pa skills nila sa pagtugtog ng instruments.. We had such a great time talaga.

Before going there, nag-stay muna kami kina Joyce kasi 3pm tapos na kami mag-enroll eh 8pm pa start nila. So ayun, nanood muna kami ng Sin City kina Joyce at kumain ng kumain! Kaya tuloy pagdating sa Eastwood super busog! Pero dahil we need a table to actually watch the show comfortably, kumain na lang din kami. Tapos supposedly hanggang mga 9:30pm lang kami xc nga may class pa the next day, but mga 10:30pm na kami nakaalis. Gusto ko kasi talaga mapakinggan muna yung tagalog song nila eh.. So ayun, after, umuwi na rin kami. At medyo napagalitan ako kasi bglaan daw kung magplano.. hehe medyo nga. ^_^

PS Katamad magbasa ng readings sa PI!! Hay.. 8/25 chapters pa lang ako.. Buti na lang nalipat sa April27 1st exam namin dun.. Super great move sir. Ehehehe.. In fairness I am enjoying PI 100, benta mga anecdotes ni sir about Rizal.. Sana magkwento na lang sya ng magkwento.. :D

first day of summer classes..

Schedule ko (for Steph toh):

11am - 1pm French 10
1pm - 3pm PI 100


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

French 10

Jozy: Vous vous appelez comment?
Val: Je ma'appelle Valerie Encarnacion. Et vous?
Jozy: Je ma'appelle Jozy Binua.

Haha.. Yun lang muna tinuro samin today =)


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

PI 100

Sobrenombres - Jose Rizal:

1. El Campeon de Nacionalismo (nationalism vs patriotism)
2. El Hijo de Calamba
3. El Maximo Heroe de Filipinas
4. El Gran Malayo

Plus, tons of reading! Hay.. Buti na lang 11am pa start ng class ko..

Hindi pa rin ako enrolled..tsk, tsk

At ang sinisisi ko (yup, meron hehe)? Walang iba kundi ang teacher ko saHE 101. Hay naku, halos buong semester na nya kami pinahirapan with all her requirements tapos ngayong bibigay na lang niya yung classcards, problema pa rin. Kailangan ko kasi makuha lahat ng classcards ko para ma-avail yung dependent thingy ni mama, eh pasaway siya at hanggang ngayon (hello, april10 pa nga deadline for submitting grades) wala pa rin kaming grades. Kahit online, wala. Kamusta naman yun? At ang balita sa department nila, sa Tuesday pa dw siya magre-release?! Tsk, tsk.. To think na kahapon pa sana ako pwedeng natapos.. Hay naku, hanggang ngayon talaga ang sakit pa rin niya sa ulo..

We watched The Reaping yesterday.. It was okay, benta sakin lagi yung mga nakakagulat sa scenes. Just ask Tope, nahahampas ko kasi siya pag kadiri/katakot/stressful yung scene e. Ehehe.. Ang dami din naming nanoood, mga 9? Pero mas marami pa sana kung pinapasok pa sila Jozy.. Kaya lang medyo na-late din sila. Ganun na pala SM ngayon noh, mas strict sa ganun. Dati wala lang eh.. hehe.

After watching the movie, we went to Cyberzone. Naghahanap xc si Jozy ng digicam (can't wait! Siguro ang dami kong pics dun hahaha jokingss).. Then nag-dinner kami sa Tokyo2x.. Sumo meal! Ka-share ko si Jozy sa Pork Tonkatsu.. Naalala ko tuloy dati, 3 pa kami nila Jodi and Ice na nagsha-share dun eh. Parang tamang-tama lang sya samin nun. Mas matakaw na ba ako ngayon or talagang lumiit lang portions nila? I bet its the latter.. hehe

May scary experience pa kami nila Tope, Abi ang Jozy pag-uwi sa jeep. Medyo late na rin kasi tapos nasa dulo pa kami. Eh may parang lasing na baliw na nakasabit.. Ayun, the whole time kinakabahan kami. Kung anu-ano kasi sinasabi niya eh. Tapos scary talaga kung makatingin.. Grabe, yun na yung Friday the 13th scare namin,, hindi yung The Reaping (a.k.a. The Raping lolz).. Benta.

Yep, we heart Bulacan! =)

Just got back yesterday from the org's semplan in Bulacan. We only stayed there overnight but we had a lot of "adventures": ^_^

• Siksikan sa van nila Sandra papunta at pabalik.. 12 kami for 8-10 lang ata yung van max.
• Adventure ng mga outgoing officers sa palengke para bumili ng food.. Bili lang ng bili kasi nga "we deserve it!" ehehehe ...pero in fairness nasa budget pa rin naman kami =)
• Pagluto ng dinner! Akala mo madali na lang itoh for us, after so many functions the past year.. but no! Ang daming nangyari na cguro pag nalaman ng mga teachers namin, ikakahiya kami! ahahaha..
• Biglang nawalan ng kuryente at tubig kahapon ng tanghali.. Super init na nga, tapos hindi pa kami naliligo lahat! Akala namin uuwi kami ng hindi naliligo at all.. hahaha..
• Nag-swimming sa resort ng tita ni Louie para "makaligo".. Pagdating namin sa place, parang gusto na namin agad tumalon sa pool sa init at kasi nga wala pa kaming ligo..

Supposedly, ang semplanning ay para lamang sa mga incoming SHARP officers. Pero dahil hindi namin nagastos yung pang-semplan namin ng second sem, sabit na rin ang mga outgoing officers! Ehehe.. Compared to our only semplan last year (sa Laguna), sobrang tipid yung ngayon. Bahay kasi nila Tina (el presidente) yung tinuluyan namin at yung transpo namin sponsor ng tatay ni Sandra. So all we had to pay for was our food.. Yung resort na pinuntahan pa namin nalibre kami kasi yung tita pala ni Louie yung may-ari. Galing nga talaga eh. Sabi nga ni Louie "everything fell right into place"..

At the resort.. Yeah, mga bagong ligo! =)

Kaming lahat.

Belated happy birthday mOmi Jodz!

Thank you for all your advice and guidance!

Sana hindi ka magbago ever. iluvyah! muwah!

"Love is like pi -- natural, irrational, and very important.." --Lisa Hoffman

I hate packing talaga.. I mean, I love going out and travelling (kahit dito lang sa Luzon or whatevs) but I just can't stand packing. That's why i delay it as much as i can.. ehehehe.

Did i mention we have 3 puppies here now? Daisy gave birth again almost a month ago, for like the nth time? Mukha silang mga sausage.. Ang taba-taba at ang liit-liit! I can't imagine na dati ganun itsura nila Bubbles and Cutie.. Of course we're not keeping any of the puppies (I wish we could!) because we really have too much dogs here as it is..

Summer classes is about to start.. April 16, Monday next week. I love going to school every summer not exactly because i love going to class but because i get to spend time with friends and still receive allowance evryday. =) FOPC can be pretty bad because of the unbearable heat at the Vinzon's rooftop but i really enjoy hanging out there and joining all kinds of games and activities prepared by the other orgs.. Yun na talaga nagiging SHARP tambayan tuwing summer. Tapos after 5pm we go straight to sunken.. =D

The Best Things in Life

From: http://www.anvari.org/fun/Truth/The_Best_Things_in_Life.html
^Got it from Karina's Stumbleupon acct =)


The best things in life doesn't come without a struggle.
Love is one amongst them.

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry?
When we imagine? When we kiss?
This is because the most beautiful things in this world are those that are unseen.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird and when we find someone
whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in
mutual weirdness and call it love.

A great love? It's when you shed tears and still you care for him,
it's when he ignores you and still long for him.
It's when he begins to love another and yet you still smile
and say I'm happy for you.

If love fails, set yourself free,
let your heart spread its wings and fly again.
Remember you may find love and lose it,
but when love dies, you never have to die with it.

The strongest people are not those who always win
but those who stand back up when they fall.
Somehow along the course of life, you learn about
yourself and realize there should never be regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

A true friend understands when you say I forgot,
waits forever when you say just a minute,
stays when you say leave me alone, opens the door
even before you knock and says can I come in?

Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive,
not how you listen but how you understand,
not what you see but how you feel, and not how you let go
but how you hold on.

In love, very rarely do we win but when love is true,
even if you lose, you still win just for having
that feeling of loving someone more than you love yourself.

There comes a time when we have to stop loving someone
not because that person has stopped loving us
but because we have found out that they'd be
happier if we let them go.

It's best to wait for the one you want
than settle for one that's available.
Best to wait for the one you love than one who is around.
Best to wait for the right one
because life is too short to waste on just someone.

Sometimes the one you love turns out to be
the one who hurts you the most.
But that's okay.
Your love shouldn't be dependent upon someone else's love or hate.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!

reflections..

^Exactly what i've been trying to do since yesterday.. Been trying to think of ways to change about myself and my life in general so as to better myself. Ayun naman talaga dapat ginagawa sa panahon ng Lent dba? Kausapin si God and ask for help and forgiveness, reflect and pray. Been thinking extra hard about this particular issue in my life actually. I think i finally want to let go of something that's been on my mind for the past year or so. Tama na siguro..

I say trying to do kasi i've mostly been just watching dvds all day.. Like today, nakanood na ko ng 3 movies. First Closer (pretty heavy.,,, a lot of things to think about), The Notebook (Ryan Gosling is hot hehe) and She's the Man (just plain old funny and Channing Tatum is also hot).. Sumasakit na nga mata ko eh. Kung hindi ako nanonood ng movies, natutulog lang ako.. Hindi ako masyadong makaonline (ngayon na lang gabi ule) kasi volts been playing DOTA all day or if not, nagdodownload ng kung anu-ano.. :P Yung mga reflections na sinasabi ko sumusulpot-sulpot lang. Pero kanina, after watching the third movie, i sat down in my room and started to really think.. That didn't last for very long though. At least i tried and at least meron akong naisip na gusto ko ngang baguhin at palitan,, kahit minor things lang. =)

CTS

..the last CTS of the school year and the last CTS of our term..

It is bittersweet to finally see the end of a long tunnel..

I'm happy kasi kahit papano nairaos namin ang SHARP sa term namin at nabigay namin ang best namin kahit mahirap minsan..

Medyo malungkot din isipin na tapos na pala..

Itong school year na toh ang pinkamahirap sa buong UP life ko so far. Series kami nung first sem (THE turning point of an HRIM student's college life ehehehe) and then catering nung second sem tapos yun nga, officers ng SHARP at the same time. Mas mahirap din kasi medyo kakaiba situation namin with ate Wean being away most of the time because of practicum.. Halos bawat event stress talaga ang abot. It was a big challenge for me to follow in ate Paula's footsteps. I wanted to do my best cause she believed in me, kahit ako may doubts sa sarili ko. Nagpapasalamat na lang ako sa lahat ng SHARPers sa lahat ng suporta.. sa mga naging applicants sa buong taon.. sa friends and family ko (>>hehe..) at kay God. Hayy.. I wish Ms. Anna Arevalo all the best this coming school year. Alam kong kayang-kaya mo yan at lagi naman kaming nandito para sumuporta ;)

Ewan ko ba, pero after CTS kahapon parang ang lungkot ko na ewan.. Dun lang ata nagsink-in na tapos na ang 3rd year.. tapos na ang stint sa SHARP.. panibagong set of subjects na naman ngayong summer at 1st sem.. sa second sem, practicum na kami. Ayoko pa! hehehe.. sobrang mamimiss ko lahat ng memories ko this school year!

Masaya ang CTS kahit ang onti ng apps na pumunta. Na-shock ang lahat sa pinrepare nilang Talent SHow.. tsk,tsk.. mga anak, 'kala ko pa naman ang conservative nyo. Haha! The highlight of the night for me was when we had our "truth or strip" session at the patio.. No one really had to strip so that means there were a lot of "chisms" that got out of the bag so to speak. After the eternal and deep question of "Sinung chinicherva mo ngayon?". we moved on to "Anung point of view mo sa.." Infairness, ang dami ko ring nakuha. Napaisip na ewan.. hehe..

April 12-14 start na ng summer enrollment.. before that, i'll enjoy myself muna. ^_^

where do i start??

Regular classes officially ended last friday, puro exams and papers na lang(?) kami this week and then we're free(?!)! Not quite,, may summer classes pa nga pala.. as always. :P

Natapos na rin at last yung Formal Dinner function namin last Weds! Ang dami ring mga nangyari na hindi inasahan, pero we got through it naman in the end so i'm happy. =)

LAst Friday was such a blast! The last catering group decided to throw the class a sem-ender party wherein they prepared some surprises for us. Isa na dun ay ang pagbibigay nila ng award sa bawat isang dumating. Guess what i got? The 'Churva Award'.. na wala naman talagang katotohanan at pinasa lang ni Rugie sakin yung gawain nya! hahaha.. Peace ruweejeee!! :D Basta masaya sya,, at natuwa naman kaming Housekeeping staff sa paghuhugas after.. mas masaya talaga group namin sa housekeeping. Siguro kasi dun talaga magkakasama ang lahat kaya kahit nakakapagod, masaya pa rin. =)

Jozy and I will be off to Antipolo 2m to check out a resort for the CTS.. Sana ma-settle na talaga yun by 2m.. :P wish us luck! =)

Belated Birthday Happy Toffer!

My Math17 buddy

..na dati hindi ko akalain ganyan pala yan.

Tsk, tsk,, kung alam ko lang!! Hehe. Jokings! =)

I wish u happiness always!

*********

Hay,, trying not to think about wednesday (our formal dinner function)! Kundi, masi-stress lang ako.. ehehehe.. Yoko nga nun. ;p

just because...

"Sleeping is a relief, an escape from the true world cause who would ever want a day awake when reality is far from what the heart is forever longing to see.."

A gentleman once said this to the lady he loves., "The only way I could hurt you.. Is by holding your hand too tight."

Psychological fact:
"All emotional pain lasts for 12 minutes, anything longer than that is self-inflicted"

"I'd like to stay as a secret, like walking in the dark.. if no one knows me.. no one cares then that would be fine.. Then no one can break my heart.."

"Sometimes you would find your own Peter Pan. A guy who would take care of you and fly with you against the winds but then you would notice that his heart still belongs to Wendy.."
--Tinkerbell

Belated Happy Birthday Rusan!!

I love yah!

Tara, let's get it on with the month-long celebration. hehe ^-^

Muwah!

Happy Birthday Rugie!!

Sana happy ka! =)

A day of extremes..

Then at the end of it all, you just feel empty..

hmm.. 7, probably..

^rate your mood for today out of 10.. Si Shine daw kasi 6, sakto na para pumasa, ako naman 7. Basta medyo nasa lower end pa rin ng onti..

Super tamad ko kasi today eh. Parang feeling ko lumipas lang ang isang buong araw na wala akong nagawa >>npkaunproductive, kahit meron namang kailangan gawin talaga! Ba't ganun? Ngayong gabi lang ako nag-start kahit buong araw lang akong nasa harap ng computer.. :P

Anyway, enough with that..

"Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You.. I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason.. you're behaving like the best friend."

---Arthur Abbott from The Holiday

"And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms."

---Iris from The Holiday

I haven't watched The Holiday yet, and i don't think i'd be able to catch it in the cinemas anymore, but i really like the reviews i got from people who watched it. Tapos meron pang cute lines like ^that, perfect! hehe.. Hay naku girls, let's all be the leading ladies in our lives okay? Enough with being the best friend.. =)

..whatever that means. Muwah!

Happy birthday Aisa Joy Monika! =)

Human Resource's Chairperson and VP =)

Long live HR! ehehehe..

I wish you continued happiness and blessings. Plus, si J! ^-^

Sana makita mo ule si FA crushie mo para mag-meet ule ang mga mata nyo at finally makapag-usap na kayo.

i luvyah yah icy! Muwah!

******

Belated happy birthday din to my dear kuya who celebrated his birthday yesterday! =)

(with Kria)

I love my kuya! hehe.

Thanks for everything and may God bless you always! Muwah!

Elevate 7

We watched Elevate 7 yesterday at the UP theater. Ganu namin ka-gusto manood? Well, meron lang naman kaming 2 papers due on Monday, recipe testing on friday, paper today (for HE 101 :P) AND hanggang 8:30am lang ang class namin kahapon! So from 8:30am-7pm kami naghintay. Haha. During that time naggawa na lang kami ng kung anu-anong errands and assignments?..nah, nag-google earth na lang kami! Benta yun kasi yung bahay nila Shiney sa Cavite nakita namin agad, pero yung kay Rugie na taga-Faiview, hindi makita (after 10 years, nahanap na rin daw nya)! Haha. Sabi na kasi naming everywhere (na may mga trees of course) ang bahay ni *King* eh! lol. Peace Ruji! =)

Anyway, elevate7 was great! It was better than last year's and much more entertaining. The dance routines were varied (from tinikling to ballet to hiphop to ballroom etc) and the drummers also have more numbers this time. I got home around 11pm already, but was very much satisfied =) Galing!

Plus, nakita ko pang mag-perform crushie ko.. Ayoko na sabhin name, pero i think most girls na nanood kagabi, siya din ang crush or ang naging crush! haha. Basta, he may not be a dancer but he definitely has rhythm. ^-^

Hay.. still have to this paper for HE101.. :P Byers!

***********

PS.>> omg, I just came across the friendster profile of my (long-time)high school crush and just asked myself..why??? hehehe.. kidding!!! =) So yesterday (as in more than 2 years ago pa? hehe) na talaga si mojo noh? benta lang. =p

Chocolate Buffet

Yep, ang tagal na rin nito (Feb.13) pero ngayon lang ako ginanahan maggawa ng post about it so.. Let's get to it. =)

UP SHARP presents, the Chocolate Buffet: A Chance for Romance..

The Dessert List

I baked (bake lang, hindi mismong gumawa): the cupcakes, choco chunk snowballs and the choco walnut duo here at home. Sobrang whole day ko kaharap yang mga yan kasi imagine kailangan 400+ cookies (each kind) magawa ko tapos yung cupcakes around 250-300 pcs. So medyo whole day talagang kaharap ko yung oven dba.. hehehe

Feb12, pre-preparation sa bahay nila Cyvs sa Novaliches. Ka-bonding ko almost the whole night and morning si Chef a.k.a. Portia! =) Mga hindi natulog: Cyvs, Jozy, Ate Wean, Tina, Rods, Chef at Dona; mga may tulog sandali (around 2 hours): Inday a.k.a. Jackie and me. ^-^

The Chocolate fountain. Bow.

Words!! Ganda ng effect pero nakakagigil gawin. ehehe

Happy, happy birthday ilene!!

Si Ice, my one and only sister...

(w/ her real-life little sis Prue)

Hindi man kami magkapatid by blood,,, by heart naman connected. :D Never kami nagkasundo nung una kaming magkakilala. Asar siya sakin, tapos ako hindi ko din siya type. Hanggang sa medyo nag-uusap na kami at bigla kong na-realize na ang dami pala naming things in common . Parehong-pareho kasi kami ng ugali nito eh.. Kaya nagkakaintindihan talaga kami or if not--nag-aaway! hahaha. Pero like they say, yung mga taong special lang sa'yo ang mga taong pinaka-makakaaway mo. Grabe nung grade10, may time na halos araw-araw din yun! lol.

Ngayon hindi na kami nagkikita,, minsan nagte-txt pero hindi rin ganung ka-updated sa buhay ng isa't isa. But the good thing about us is that we don't need to see or hear from each other to know we're still friends. Basta alam niya lang na nandito lang kami for her.. 4ever!

I luv yah sis! God bless always! muwah.
