while in cloud 9

i still haven't recovered from the loss of sleep. and for the second day now, i feel that i'm a mere observer. i do not exist. di to drama ah.. yun talaga feeling ko..lutang..sabaw. para kong robot. but it's not negative. i lurve the feeling..and i loove my friends!! Makiling's watapeys pics are up in my multiply!

this one i got from rap:

want 1 for you and your special someone? drop me a line! price is relative to the text and shirt size...

tiiiring first day

of classes, yes. we're such losers that we start classes in May. and forget going to the gym today, at least we used the stairs to go up the Andrew building's 11th floor this morning. precious calories lost..wee!

if French class will keep on being like a game of charades as it did this afternoon, i'd regret paying for about 5k for that extra class. i don't need French, really. i just took it as an audit course for additional knowledge, meaning i need not go to my classes, take tests, nor will i get a grade for it. the prof was nice, except that the only English word she used earlier was "okay." and that's assuming all of us know nothing about the language. thanks to sir friedel, i learned "vous pouvez repeter sil vous plait" back in zobel. i don't even know if the spelling's correct but heck, i understood my prof when she said that earlier! anyway, i just hope she'll speak in English once in a while to at least make us understand what French sentences she'll be saying. i just want to have something to look forward to every MWF.

SC work. that's what's been keeping me busy. tomorrow at 9:30, we'll be setting up a freedom board as part of our advocacy against having venue rental fees for all academic sectors in dlsu. not that our manifesto against it will completely remove the fees, i just hope the administration will consider it. these fees would greatly affect batch units in the implementation of their activities..tsktsk.

while my butt hurts

aside from visiting the hospital again, this has been a pretty normal day. quite boring, if you ask me. that's why i ended up reading Entrepreneur magazine and found a few ways to earn extra money. kewl. i hope the idea won't escape me. for that, i'm thinking of learning how to sing jazz.. hmm..

there, Just Friends just ended in Star Movies and i can finally concentrate on blogging. i think the movie can give you a good laugh, especially Anna Faris' character, but the "love story" is too superficial: size-ist and definitely not inspiring.

anticipation is eating me!!! i'm excited for the 5th movie too, even though i'm not that much of a fan of book 5. but i want to see Dumbledore's Army at work and the fact that Daniel Radcliffe's bod is now KABOOM!

i think i need to read books 5 and 6 again. those are the two that i haven't repeated ever and some facts were quite forgettable. except the deaths and duels. i need to brush up on some of the names at least.

oh, before i forget!

happy mothers' day to all your mums! wag na maging sakit ng ulo! ^_^

be good while you can

money never became an issue..until now. things are not going well, especially for my dadilolo. i visited San Juan de Dios hospital, but i didn't even see him. apparently, visiting time for patients in ICU is not until 6 in the evening. he still can't talk after a nerve in his brain sort-of..tore? popped? whatever. he's not ok and we're continually praying for him. i've never lost a close relative and i'm not planning to start now.

he collapsed in harrison plaza. whatever the hell he was doing there, i don't know, but he was believed to be blessed to have a stranger bring him to the hospital. not a cent lost, to think he was carrying a lot of dollars and credit cards at that time. none of us even got the chance to thank that person. he --or she-- left the hospital before my mom and lola arrived. well at least we know good people are still around. and that was in harrison plaza, where 50 bucks can get a pervert his *insert adjective here* oral pleasure!!

anyway, to keep things light, i made another shirt! look at the picture..isn't it obvious? ^_^

the background's photoshopped. and ooohh, i look like i have short hair!

speaking of my hair, my mom said i could get it colored. finally! dark blue, perhaps. it would still look black, but a little different. and then i would begin to look like Sapphones, my lovely priestess in Ragnarok. hihi! yey!

i havta make 2 more shirts now... so bye!

"It's OK..."

not everything is right. sometimes, we hate ourselves for what we do or think or feel. but then i've come to realize the normality of some things and that we respond to situations based on different ideologies. for this, i say it's okay to...

- expect. we are not bound to be surprised every time. anticipation may sometimes lead to frustration, but to expect is like setting a goal that may cause you to be more ambitious--in a good way.

- cry over grades that are short of being excellent. be it 0.07 points from being in the Dean's List or even graduating magna cum laude instead of summa, it's normal to feel bad. makes you always want to do better next time or through other means; it makes you always want to be your best.

- not say you love someone..(NOTE: not all the time!) although this may lead to hundreds of "what ifs," keeping your feelings to yourself may gauge the sincerity of the other person. i wouldn't suggest this, but i'm saying it's okay sometimes.

- be vain. loving the way you look is like appreciating what God has given you. wellthat's giving vanity a whole new look! [Disclaimer: i'm not vain.]

- punch the wall when you're mad. if it'd make you feel good then go ahead! just be ready with some ice and a forgiving heart.

i would like to stress that these are purely based on my personal thoughts and experience. being a non-professional nobody, i wouldn't know if these would apply to you. more to come next time.. xiao.

weirded out and rule crazy

freakin weird.

i was having dinner with my mom when ate bekbek, whom she asked to buy her tablets for her pimples, showed her the contraceptive pills she bought.

mom: hala pang-pimples ba to?
ate bekbek: yan po yung binigay nyong pangalan
mom: e sabi sa TV eh. nako sainyo nalang to!
ate bekbek: ay ate di po kami gumagamit nyan
mom: ako rin! sa 9 na taon di ako gumamit nyan. withrawal lang at rhythm! bumibilang ako no.

oversharing..
- - -

jaywalkers. i hate them. i always keep from cursing pag may super kulit na mga taong tumatawid just below the overpass. waste of cement and electricity. yes, electricity, since there are overpasses here in Las Pinas with escalators. cool, yeah, but useless. they should let jaywalkers pay! (feeling good citizen of the Philippines ko ba? hehe! but these rules are too simple not to follow.)

i gotta go watch Heroes now! vinci was right about me getting hooked.

sweaty, with the fan just beside me. grr

palawan was great, though we only spent one day sa beach. still, i love the crocs, falls, the underground river, plus free billiards in the resort. i need more of this kind of relaxation! (more pics in my multiply)



behold the entrance to the underground river..



somehow, i can't go to places like this without at least holding one of their babies. i once held a wild cat in singapore and a snake in tagaytay!



ay iba na to. tsktsk!


but next summer? i'd rather go to bora kahit gasgas na. hold on, wala pala kong mapupuntahan next summer! OJT! crap. kelangan sulitin ang vacant days before the 23rd (first day of classes).

i watched Spiderman 3 with enzo two days ago. although i'm not a blogger who usually rants about the movies i watch or who's skilled to give critiques, i can say i'm not a fan of how emotional the movie was. really, too emotional for spidey. but what the hell, harry is too hot!!! [spoiler] it's a pity he died and scarred half of his face.

the gym's been my daily stop for 3 days now! (dapat lang). it's been costing my mom too much and i don't really get to maximize it. she's actually planning to transfer me to Slimmers' World, which offers a lifetime plan. but before she does, i'mma make the most out of my membership. veggies, i love you now! ^_^

missing you already...
