^^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

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?

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. ^_^
