WENDY THE BIATCH

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:02:16 GMT

pocha. BIG FOUR? WENDY? WTF? Ngayon ko lang talaga masasabi na ang tatanga ng mga Pilipino!!!
Pero I have a theory na malupit

Ang may pakana sa email msg na kumalat sa internet ay walang iba kundi... GMA 7! Siyempre ganito ang goals nila:
1. discredit the credibility of the voting process of PBB and its management
2. Plant the seeds of doubt in viewers' minds
3. Short-term: pababain ang ratings ng PBB!!!

And... sila rin ang dahilan kung bakit pumasok sa big 4 si wendy! Sila ang bumoboto para kay wendy to make sure na ung seeds of doubt na kanilang itinanim ay magblossom into oak trees of hate! kasi pano ba naman papasok si wendy sa big 4 without manipulation diba? eh di ngayon ang iisipin ng mga tao, wag na lang manood ng PBB. and gumana na sa mom ko!

ano pa ang mangyayari kung naging big winner si wendy?

MEDIA CATASTROPHE!

grabe na 'tong pinag-iisip ko. haaay buhay

What loneliness and a party can do to you

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 00:48:18 GMT

It was around 6:30 pm before the wild TNT party last Thursday. I was talking to Ryan Lee aka my boyfriend from Naruto-Arena.com / Boston and I told him that in about 10 - 20 minutes' time I will be playing volleyball after about a year of not being able to jump and land a good spike. He told me he was happy for me, since I was obviously excited, and added that I should savor the moment, the adrenaline of doing one of the things I wanted to do the most.

I was in the covered courts, court 4 by 6:45 pm, debating whether or not I should already change into volleyball-wear. I chose not to, since there was still no one there with me. Yes, I was alone, and I chose to be in the shadows so no one would take notice of that fact. But hurrah here comes Miguel and Jehl who said hi. I didn't recognize them at first (hello darkness) so I ignored them. I looked more and more the part of the loner.

7 pm. 7:05. 7:10. Where the hell are they? If we're paying P 350 per hour for lights then we should be squeezing the juice out of every minute we've reserved the court for. But no one's there. I walked out, feeling that at least 2 days' worth of excitement was all for nothing but a moment in the shadows.

I still had about 1 and a half hour before Earl comes to pick us up. What am I to do? I dunno. I just walked around 'til my feet led me to the stone benches beside the football field, beside the parking area near gate 2.5. And guess what I did... I wrote. For the longest time I haven't put my thoughts in paper and there I was, writing away by the milky glow of the pathway lamp. It was... cathartic. My eyes were misty by the time I realized it was only a few minutes before 8:30. By that time, the pent-up excitement I had for the TnT party was close to nil. Yes, realizations can do that.

After a few songs, chips and condoms, we were at the TnT party. The Jessica Sanders of my own Nikki came out... and kissed Ryan... Thrice. (^_^)(^_^)(^_^)(^_^)

I woke up the next day with a headache, and a smile.

death on father's day

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 02:04:44 GMT

grabe...

mating season yata ng mga pusa ngayon, kaya ang ingay ingay ng mga pusa sa bubong namin, kahit madaling araw! eh yung ex-pusa namin heartthrob kaya pinag-aagawan ng mga lalakeng pusa, so sobrang ingay nga diba. so ako, bagong gising, ay kumuha ng insect killer at lumapit sa gate kung san nagliligawan ang mga pusang tinitili ang pag-ibig at intent to f__. feeling ko ninja ako kaya nakatiptoe ako para hindi ako marining, tapos boom! spray ng insect killer sa mukha ng lalakeng pusa. eh "insect" killer nga diba hindi pusa killer, so parang natauhan lang siya sa ingay niya tapos lumipat ng venue kung san mas may privacy. when suddenly...

ang isa naming kapitbahay na lalake, nakadamit ng pambasketball, ay patakbong pumunta sa isa pa naming kapitbahay, at sinabi sa kaawa-awang maybahay na ang kanyang asawa ay na-heat stroke habang nagbabasketball at isinugod na sa hospital

fast forward. nagsimba kami, then went to an internet shop. pagbalik namin, nag-iiyakan na ang mga tao sa tapat ng bahay ng aming kapitbahay. patay na pala si mang daniel. grabe... father's day pa naman...

nanood ako ng pop star kids. ang kinakanta ng isang bata ay never too far away ni mariah carey. siyempre biritera ako kaya todo tili sa isang part. pinagalitan ako ng mama ko kasi masyado daw akong "masaya" habang hindi pa tanggap ng pamilya sa kabilang bahay ang sinapit ng kanilang ama.

grabe...

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 04:37:17 GMT

I know it may sound selfish pero... nakakaboost talaga ng esteem ang orsem. Maybe I've been volunteering as a tnt just to get that feeling, cause God knows I need it, pero there's no shame in that. It's just the way I feel, and for that I'm greatful. (^_^) Pero because of doing so, I've come to love my freshies! lalo na nung nag-solo ako, I felt the pressure yes kasi I'm not tnt solo material but i did my very best and my freshies seem to appreciate that. benta ang mga kabarukan ko (kumusta naman ang "guy mob plaster"?), ang mga kalandian, kaharutan, and ryan ryan ryan!!! aaaahh san ka pa super sport ng guy na 'to basta i love him na.

and heto... magsisimula na naman ang first sem, and i will once again face the "real world." hahahaha

AI-SISter kumusta ka na! Bakla!

Thu, 24 May 2007 08:29:18 GMT

May nagsabi sakin kahapon na ang AISIS ay parang sex. Mabagal pero pag may *ehem* "lumabas" na mga stuff sa page mo, sobrang tuwa mo na.

Jusko. Kadeeeeers. Tama nga ang sinabi ni Dr. Sta. Maria, Filipinos find humour in everything. parang ang text na ito sa kasagsagan ng bagyong nag-devastate sa Bicolandia:

"Where you? I'm here na."

-Bagyong Reming

Lord help us. pinageeksperimentuhan po kami ng admin.

Thu, 17 May 2007 05:42:44 GMT

Tapos na ang TNT interview! Waaah hahahaha hindi siya kasing stressful ng last. (Maybe kasi si Marts ang main interviewer? haha aisa wag magsumbong please). Josko naman muntik na pala akong hindi makapunta, kasi ang nasa isip ko 1:30 pa ang interview. Mabuti na lang pumunta ako dun ng mga 12:50 to confirm, yun pala 1 pm! Oh my lord

Anyway, bago ako makapasok binalita sakin ni yanni na no show si billy sa kanyang interview slot. waah so wla na pala akong reason mag-tnt. sana na-late na lang ako. I hate this. JOKE!

So... gumana ba ang Spartan caterpillar (with wings, and barrel chest and 6-pack abs) ko? Parang may silbi lang siya sa simula. And towards the end, wala na talaga siyang silbi kasi nasira sa kakagulong ko sa sahig. Yahoo.

And sino ang hindi alam kung sino ang 4 deans of the loyola schools? nagulat nga ako na Dean na pala ng SOH si ma'am Beni! Akalain mo yown?

Anyway, aside from dancing tango with Justin *kilig*, t'was pretty uneventful. mabait sila ngayon in fairness. mukha ngang nag-tone down. Hindi ganon ka-dilim sa room, walang nakakapanggalit na comments, etc. Labshu TNT core. Mabuhay ang mga Spartan Caterpillars.

Pero ang corny ko kanina grabe. shet. haha

Ang Pilosopiya ng naka-rolyong papel

Tue, 08 May 2007 05:34:54 GMT

ACTM Plansem was fun... a God-given opportunity presented itself. Pero after everything, tama bang magpaka-emo ako.

I channeled Sir Randy Solis' Creative Journal "delight" and wrote, for the first time in 2 months, to my inner artist.

It went something like this:

Sakura Chaotica,

Hindi ko alam kung pinaglalaruan ako ng tadhana (kadiri). Choice or predestination? I know I shouldn't be waxing philosophical with just a bit of chuchu, pero nakaka-crayola ang emotions I felt after I got home, even before. Napakarelevant na tuloy ng isang graffiti sa aking mesa sa eco 111: Hope is impotent. O diba, emo na emo parang si ina. And surprise of surprises, my favorite defense mechanism aka "ang karukrukan ng pantasya" devised a kilig-kiligan moment by the floral swing, which left me smiling like an idiot.

Hay nako, siguro hindi na lang ako dapat magfocus sa sentence na iyon sa aking lamesa dahil nagiging motto na siya ng aking buhay. Siguro'y dapat magreflect na lang ako sa graffiti na ako mismo ang gumawa: Kamot, kamot, mag-canesten ka! Or the male version of Beyonce's irreplaceable. Maybe it's time to ponder on and insert some sense to senseless stuff, than try to make halungkat the meaning of that God-given/random/conspiratorial/just-happened-because-you-poked-your-hand-in-the-box event.

Haaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy Sir Tolentino nararamdaman ko na ang angst ni Kierkegaard!!! Baka makasulat na ko ng libro nito!

rants before finally walking away (^_^)

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 04:36:53 GMT

Hell Sem is officially over!

After my first bout of three consecutive nights without sleep
After only having one day to do and compile a marketing paper
After 16 hours of being a janitor at Berkeley Square
After preparing so hard for OPMAN defense and getting a C
After flirting with Billy during Blue Christmas orientation... hihi
After finally discovering what "pagpapakatao" means
After battling study time and teleserye time
After being inspired to finally manage my time but... not knowing how to let go of my cramming nature
After finally giving up Naruto-Arena.com because it's eating away my sanity
After so much ____________________
After PMS. Yeah right
After losing the tattered remains of my social life

I AM FREE!
I AM PHOENIX!!!

Moon Crystal Power Make-up!

PS Shet may atenistang kamukha ni Prince Troy!

Ai desu nee

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 02:17:39 GMT

I haven't been updating much at all, but i'd continue to shroud myself in mystery just because. you want vague? i'll give you vague.

I don't want leftovers.
It makes me puke
knowing i can't eat a decent meal
by my lone self.

You wanted me to take it
knowing i'm hungry
but fact is
it only made my stomach churn
because i succumbed

to being a scavenger

I am so proud

ABS-CBN's new offering

it's my life it's now or never. cause i ain't gonna live forever

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 09:13:54 GMT

have been out of circulation for the past forever. anyway, not up to much though. slowly rekindling the flame of passion... for my acads. hahaha nagsusuffer na kasi, and i don't want to disappoint my benefactor again. well technically i didn't disappoint her naman (since she didn't explicitly say that) but knowing how my grades took a dive oh gawd feeling ko ang reaction niya "why am i wasting my money on this noob"

my life as of the moment (aside from wanting to study --- note: different from actually studying) is TV. haay. my verdict on Sana Maulit Muli?

Dissapointing. All the raves about its trailer, about the competence of its actors, about the uniqueness of the love story seemed to have us all hyped up for... shit. And that's already an understatement. Huhuhu i hope it will pick up during the next few episodes cause i wanna stop saying nasty things about my beloved abs-cbn...

On the contrary...

PRINCESS HOURS IS THE BEST!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!!

hahaha i've even taken to, uh, imitate prince gian's/shin's hairdo. feeling ko hindi ko carry pero kebs. hahahaha

and the song... love it too

sarang hendeyo
gugano wagata
myoun shi jijugendeyo
di na mapipigilan
baklushitang 'to
hindi alam ang lyrics
kaya nag-iimbentow
ooh ooh ooh
ating nararamdaman
pag-ibig na blentungan

Arabo Christmas

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:07:06 GMT

Christmas wasn't that enjoyable for the same reason i wasn't able to go to embassy (and i really did want to go and take a lot of pictures with local artists, as jologs as it may sound)

bwiset na acne attack

haay... can't believe the number of "labas" i turned down because of it pucha.
1. Embassy with blockmates
2. Divas EK trip
3. Bingo with Jerome
4. Malate night out

Huhuhuhu sad... and what even made me sadder, though unreasonable, was that Dean got a boyfriend first! Huhuhu I lost the race, and he made it in time for Christmas. I know I should be happy for him since he's one of my bestfriends pero, well masama talaga ako. Hahaha hindi, happy talaga ako for him, and i'm sad for me since it made me aware of my state more. Torn

At nagpaka-Arabo na naman ako. Wrapped my towel around my face, Arab style, with only my eyes exposed, so my young pamangkins won't point at me and say "what's that..." One caught me off guard without the towel and did as I expected, and God help me muntik ko na siyang masaktan. Hahahaha

woohoo ang saya saya naman

ACTM's the spot!

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 01:43:03 GMT

Waaah ang saya pala malasing! washoo!

anyway, before i get to that part, here's what happened muna.

------
ALTP - janitor sa berkeley volume 3

4 hours of cleaning the CR. waah! actually it's only light work. I only get to have something to do whenever people come in to do their business. So ang problem talaga dun ay... BORING! habang naghihintay na may pumasok sa CR, nakaupo lang ako dun sa labas doing tantananan...

ang walang kamatayang snake sa cellphone ko.

tapos may papasok. then lalabas. pasok ako. mop mop. punas punas. tingin sa sarili. punas. labas. hintay. snake. yahoo! hintay. galit. bored. iyak. may papasok. lalabas. mop mop. mop mooop. mooooop moooooooopp. huff puff.

nung hindi ko na kaya, sabi ko kay Kuya Ian na ayoko na sa CR. siyempre close na kami kaya malakas ang loob ko magreklamo. Break. kain. snake. at aba si kuya ian minasahe pa ko sa likod! aba aba aba... wahahaha

tapos CR ulit! sheeet!
------

At pagkatapos ng shift ko, punta na ko dapat sa bahay ni Jerome. Sabi niya nasa glorietta daw siya, bibili ng damit. Eh di go ako. 5:30 na! Sabi ni Fluff be there before 7! ok lang, shopping galore. timezone, bench, penshoppe, people are people. then artwork. go sa bahay ni jerome! mrt, cab, or bus? traffic sa edsa, mahaba ang pila sa mrt. 7 na! nako by this time nahihiya na ko kay fluff, at baka hindi na ko malibre sa absinth! pero wala naman akong magagawa. mabilis lang sa bahay ni jerome. bihis, make-up, landi, baboosh!

traffic na naman! malapit na mag-eight! oh no feeling ko galit na si fluff. hehe paranoid ako as usual. when we got there, breathing hard from all the running, hindi pa pala nagsstart! huhuhu medyo tame lang yung place. pero okay lang. excited ako sa open bar!

With Meg and Audrey

with everyone!

ang saya! at nalasing ako for the first time in my entire academic-filled life! wahoo!

awooo

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 01:05:00 GMT

www.naruto-arena.com

finally found the perfect team. bwahahahaha

tenten-haku-shikamaru

no one can even touch me baby!
win-lose stats: 115-49.
rank: 700, legendary sannin

gwaaabeeeh na ito, out of thousands and thousands of players all over the world, i'm within the top 5%! Mind you, i'm only ranked 700 because i don't play that regularly. if i'd been able to play continuously, then surely i would've been hokage by now. haha ang taas ng confidence level. anyway, the secret?

a well thought-out strategy, taking into consideration the following variables:
1.) player combination
2.) chakra availability
3.) technique cooldowns

o daba next level na ito may mga variables pa kong nalalaman! anyway, because of my near-perfect plan, i can finish a game with all of my characters still having perfect health. want to know how difficult this is to achieve? try niyo baka kayo maloka.

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

it's been one week since i've last been able to write in my creative journal. there were all these rants about my plans on making my own manga, but whenever i get inspiration, i just can't bring myself to get a blank piece of paper and start drawing. in short

tamad ako.

and also, there's

the challenge of a white, blank paper

it's like a void taunting you to fill it with creation. and it's pretty overwhelming trying to act God. couple that with the fact that i'm not too confident with my drawing skills. i hope i'd be able to at least do something in time for the dream project presentation.

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

before i decided to make a manga for my com 14 dream project, my first option really was

to have a boyfriend.

wahahaha kaso nga lang medyo natakot ako sa mga steps na kailangang gawin for me to be able to accomplish that task...

oplan kuha-ng-bufra checklist
-try to discern potential candidates. must have the following qualifications:
a. open to same-sex relationships (duh)
b. ahihihi
-make myself loveable
-convince the guy to court me (just for documentation purposes - with assured pagsagot naman eh)
-romantic date in bellarmine field, under a blanket of stars, with matching telescope ala mandy moore and shane west in A Walk To Remember + candle lights and water guns
-scripted tampuhan (for documentation purposes again)
-make the relationship last in time for dream project presentation, where I will present him to the class

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

eh kung sinusulat ko na kaya 'to sa creative journal ko!

awwooo

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 02:15:12 GMT

Babalik na ang naruto!!! Waaah may ALTP ako!

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 01:31:33 GMT

Lumabas na naman ang aking alter ego nung blue christmas training. ewan ko ba, one moment im this shy, demure, well-mannered baklush then after a while (triggered by some unknown cause) I'll be this aggressive malandecious person. I must be suffering from MPD.

But the training was super fun! Medyo naiilang pa ako nung una kasi konti lang ang kilala ko, so i was still my normal self. Hihi. But when Billy came along... haay he's super cute talaga... nung ACET proctorship ko pa siya nakilala pero at least ngayon may chance na ulit ako ahahay!

so there... yung unang nangyari ay ang mga situationers. Nung sila na yung facilitators kuno kinuntsaba ko yung mga kagroup namin na kunyari ako na lang yung binubugbog para lalapit si Billy at icocomfort niya ko. Then nung nagsimula na yun na nga ang nangyari! Sabi ni Billy (o inimagine ko lang yata) na "Do you want me to hug you?" Eh di ako pa sabi ko hug me. Waaah sarap! Haha. Tapos nung over na yung time nila sabi ko sa partner ko, "success!"

Then mga group dynamics naman. Cat and Dog ang game. Yung cat nasa loob ng circle na pinoprotektahan nung mga nagcocompose ng circle. Yung dog naman yung magpupumilit na hulihin yung cat. So there was a time na ako yung naging dog, eh hindi talaga ako makapasok kasi bayolente ang mga tao, so tumapat ako kay Billy and said sensually, "Billy let me in..." hahaha. Ngayon ko lang naisip na sana dinugtungan ko ng "...in your heart." bwahaha

Then sila Billy na ulit ang nag-demo ng group dynamics. Ang game nila Ba-bato-bato. Hindi ko na ieexplain basta ang bottomline ako yung nagkamali at ako ang may consequence (sinadya ko bang magkamali? hmmm...) Eh hindi sila makapag-isip ng consequence. Sabi ko kiss na lang. Haha. Sabi ko joke pero gusto ko talaga. Tapos sabi ni Billy butt spell na lang daw. Eh anong iispell ko? Sabi nila supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Duh. Sabi nung partner niya wag na lang daw, bahay kubo na lang. Ngyeks mas corny. Eh di sabi ko Billy na lang hahahaha

So bago pa man sila makapagsalita sinimulan ko na ang pagbubutt spell ng pangalan ni Billy. Parang diyahe yata pero okay lang mahal ko naman siya eh. hahahaha

And yun. Sana maging kagroup ko siya sa actual na blue christmas. After nung training deretso naman ako sa glaxosmithkline for an interview. next post na lang 'to.(^_^)

P.S. I tried stalking Billy, pero ang kanyang friendster account ay for friends only. Bwiset. Sa multiply kaya...

i love you scholars!

Baffled by Promiscuity

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:19:44 GMT

Why? Because I never had the the self-confidence (or the reason thereof) to actually practice it... Being what I am somehow automatically includes me to the group of liberals, but I'm still stuck with conservatism. People rationalize that within the world where men meet men, *refer to subject* is the way to go. But I know buried deep within that semi-ideal philosophy is a basic prereq: physical attraction.

And thus, my world crashes.

Or so I think. I don't know... Maybe that's the reason why I love reading Sidney Sheldon. Often the lead characters are gorgeous, aggressive, devil-may-care females who, also often (approaching always) use their sexuality to reach their goals. Now I don't mean to imply that I can relate with them on the level of sexuality, because that would be preposterous as Dean would say. What Im trying to get to is that one's external qualities (notice the euphemisms... conservative I told you) seem to be an important ingredient for success, love, vengeance, and all the other sweet things in life. One might say my values are all screwed up, but I'd reply with a heartbeat

"Face the world babe, the world's all screwed up the way I am."

Amen.

Naruto aaaaaah

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 08:32:18 GMT

Okay... so maybe i've gone a bit overboard with this naruto stuff. Read

www.naruto-arena.com

I just keep getting better and better and better... hehe. current win-loss ratio: 46-15. and believe me, in a site where you get to compete with players from all over the world, this is already a big feat. (^_^) And surprise surprise i don't rely much on luck anymore

www.narutofan.com

Just finished reading chapter 326 of the naruto manga series. like me, it just keeps getting better and better and better. ahihihi

www.theninja-rpg.com

just discovered this... full of strategy, politics, deception, intrigue. it's like living in a virtual world where you can rise to the top of the social hierarchy through, well, a reliable internet connection. love it

Stress update

Mon, 09 Oct 2006 01:54:23 GMT

I think I just signed my death certificate.

Oct. 18 10:30 AM Theo Orals. Fr. Dacanay.

The name says it all. Aaargh. so much for thinking i could be happy once the marketing defense is over. But no no no here comes another major stressload. And to further add to my misery... the oral test is comprehensive! And for 15 minutes! Saying "That's all father" will automatically merit you an F, and Fr. Dacanay is not known for mercy. So may God na lang have mercy on me.

Konti na lang sem break na... but as my bitch ACET examiner put it, here in Ateneo you can't just wing it. That's the wisest thing that ever graced her venomous mouth. So let's put a stop to procrastination and get back to work...

Ang Waiter na si Noel

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:08:14 GMT

My golly golly bowwow ang tagal ko ng hindi nag-uupdate.

I'm neck-deep in schoolwork. I deserve a breather before i plunge again. Kaya heto...

Dean and I met up yesterday so he could return to me the book he borrowed from Rizal. Funny,the first thing we said to each other:

(Simultaneously)
Me : Dean pagod na pagod na ko...
Dean: Marvin pagod na pagod na ko...

I dunno if la salle can put that much pressure on someone like him, but seeing that he looked like a high school student (with the big bag, malapit-ng-pumutok na file case, slouched posture), I think i better take his word for it.

Anyway, fast forward. It was already 8:30 PM and we still haven't eaten. So we went to SM makati and ate in Chowking when this UBER HOT WAITER came and served our food.

Waiter : Ok na po ba? Kung may kailangan pa po kayo tawagin niyo lang po ako. Ako po si Noel.
(Hindi ko narinig yung pangalan niya)
Me : Ok. What's your name? (looks at his name tag) Noel. Ok.

So there. We ate, stared at him going from table to table, ate, almost drooled (okay exag), then finished. By that time the store was already closing, and I formulated a plan.

Me : Dean, naalala mo yung ginawa niyo dati sa Teriyaki Boy? Yung nag-iwan ka ng number sa tissue tapos tinawagan ka nung waiter?
Dean : Oh my God. Don't tell me...
Me : Yes.

So I took a tissue paper, wrote down "Bye Noel.." and Dean's number, amidst ignored protests, and inserted it under my plate. Hahaha I convinced Dean that it won't do any harm since it's possible that we won't be there again any time soon, and it's not as if we'll be recognized if we do. So, to cut the crap, we were about to leave, preparing our things, when this other intrimitidong waiter came.

Epal Waiter : Okay na po ba? Lilinisin ko na po (Reached for my plate! Aah!)
Me : Wait (Pretended to look for something, so he'd go to another table first and give us time to leave before the tissue paper is discovered)

Pero hindi siya umalis! Naghintay lang siya! aaargh I was medyo getting red na that time, as I always do when I get pressured or embarrassed. Dean and I were making small talk just so he would get the message that we're not yet leaving, but he just stayed there!

Me : (to Dean) Tatakbo na ba tayo?
Dean : (Signals for me to block the plate) Sandali lang.
So when the waiter turned around for some reason, we took advantage of the opportunity and got the tissue paper from under my plate.
Dean : Okay na. Alis na tayo.

There goes Noel... Haay bwiset na waiter yan. Epal masyado. Eh di sana kung natuloy ang saya, semi destresser din dahil nagtagumpay ang aming malagim na plano. But no no no kailangan talagang may umepal.

So yun. I still have a pending story to tell bout the ACET proctorship (just thinking bout it makes me laugh!) but it's too long! Maybe another time.

*Takes a deep breath, and plunges back to school work. Will resurface (hopefully) some time next week.

Sana makanood na ko ng You are the one.

Fri, 08 Sep 2006 01:26:45 GMT

Marketing final pass + history long test + Philo graded recitation + Theo friday quiz = 1o X the normal throb. Kailangan ko ng Advil from Richard Gutierrez.

Eh kasi naman, imbis na mag-aral for history, nanood pa ng Bring it On 3 sa vcd.
Oo nga pala, Bituing walang ningning pa.
Oops, medyo Pinoy Dream Academy din.

Tama si Augustine. When man rebelled against God, there occurred an analogous rebellion within man himself. Higher faculties of reason VS Lower Passions.

See. Instead of continuing my part for the marketing paper, I'm blogging. How very productive of me.

Sorry, walang kinalaman ang subject.

Me = God?

Fri, 25 Aug 2006 04:49:03 GMT

I'm kinda getting the feel that many things around me are practically screaming out: You are more than just man, that you are destined for far greater things than what this mundane world reeks of...

Of course it's not specifically directed to me, but still...

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach:
All of us are an image of the Great Gull. We are more than just a soul trapped within a body measured by wingspan!

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho:
And that the soul of God is also his, and that he can perform miracles.

We have a natural dynamism towards the good, and choosing to frustrate that nature is also frustrating our highest human potential.

and there's no other means to achieve that goal but...

Ph101 Mr. Tolentino
May kakayahan tayong umunawa, at kung gusto nating umunawa, tayo mismo ang dapat na gumanap nito. Wala ng iba pa.

The means is within me... but however much I try to rack my brain for answers, following the lead of book characters, I just can't seem to make sense of the words. But then, here's what Richard Bach has to say:

Understanding may come a long way, that's why for the meantime, we try to reach perfection through our own. So fly!

So now I wonder if the people I mentioned do understand. Sigh. Envy is such a motivator.

Junior year is finally getting to me.

During my first and second year, I always had someone with me while walking around school, eating, hanging out, and what-have-you. But now I seem to just purely rely on coincidence, whoever's available, whoever I meet, blah blah but most of the time, I get to be alone. That shouldn't be bothering me, since I'm born an introvert anyway. But I've got a new image to uphold! The sad part is, my freshies always catch me during these particular periods. And you know what one of them said?

"Kuya, bakit wala kang friends?"

I know that was supposed to be an innocent question, but right then and there it sounded so mean! I was racking my brain for excuses, and I even managed to blurt out "Tapos na kasi class nila eh." But the thought still nagged at me... If only she knew of the struggle... gaah

What happened before still has its effects in the present. That so sucks.

"Only by being committed can freedom be truly realized. By deciding for yourself,
you impose your will on an uncertain future."
-Fr. Dacanay, SJ

So true. Thus, the necessity of the struggle (But it doesn't mean I don't have the right to feel sad every now and then. Well okay, most of the time - but at least there's conviction. Oh wait correction, conviction shouldn't be the least *confusion*).

Ang gwapo naman ng katabi ko. hihi. God bless the small joys of life.
