search for the elusive bag. multiply bandwagon. falling in love

Hay. Up to know.. Wala pa rin akong nahahanap na magandang bag for med school. Madami na kong napuntahang shopping trips (in no part. order: Greenhills, SM, Tutuban, Baclaran, 168, Divisoria Mall, Ebay shit!) pero wala! Wala talagang hihigit dun sa 900 bag sa Greenhills. I'm a Juicy juicy juicy girl. Lolz. May isang buwan pa naman ako bago mag-puti eh. Wait. Tama ba ako? Mga PLM med people... Totoo bang sa July pa dapat mag-suot ng uniporme? Watta! Meron pa lang akong tela (US Clothman ito boy!) pero no uniform yet. Hay. Nag-iipon pala ako ng pera (reminder! abi bawal gumastos. bawal muna ang luho) para may pambili ng mp4 player. Kelangan ko ng pagpahingahin yung mp3 player ko. Mukhang susuko na eh. Hindi na kaya ang apat na taong muling paninilbihan sa akin. Anyway, sana makaipon ako ng 3500 (3200 siya sa PCX - ATC Branch) para dun. Hay.

Aba naman. Ang mga ka-block ko sa UP, may sariling bandwagon! Gumawa ng multiply account! Nakita ko na yung kila jessa, abi, wency at marvin.. Oi baka meron pang iba dyang may multiply! Di ko kayang i-give up tong blogspot ko dahil medyo marami na din akong enties dito at baka hindi ko malipat lahat. Altho maganda naman ang multiply, mas gusto ko kasi ang blogspot. Saka hindi pa supported ng aking publisher (w.bloggar v4.00) ang site ng multiply.. Ahehe. Makikibasa na lang ako ng mga entry niyo. Wait speaking ng blog, uy Mnel (naks special mention!) kahapon ko lang na-access yung site mo. Grabe. Lagi kasing nag-aapear yung "cannot connect to server" ayun. Ewan ko kung bakit pero kahapon na-access ko na siya. Ehehehe. :D Siguro pag may medyo mahaba akong net hours saka ko aasikasuhin ang magpalit ng lay-out. Nasasawa na ako sa Vintage chorva na ito. Medyo feel ko ang "rain" (ulan) na theme. So ayun. Alam kong matagal ko ng pinangako pero sige pag nagka-time ako blog.. Papalitan na kita ng bagong theme. (^_^)

Hay. Iniisip ko din palang mag-palit na rin ng publisher. Maganda ba ang WordPress? Meron ba dyan na may idea tungkol dun? :D Hay. Dami kong gustong gawin pero lagi akong walang oras, o laging tinatamad.. hay ulit. :c

Lapit na pala pasukan! June 1 and 2 orientation na namin tas june 5 na pasukan! Waaah! Kaya ko kaya? Ahumm.. Ahummm... Feel ko ngang magpaka-toxic at magpaka-anti social eh. Aru. Uubra kaya? Malalaman na lang natin sa mga susunod na araw. Hay.

Anyway, maiba ako. Muli't muli... Mukhang in-like na naman ako. In-like lang di pa in-love. Haha. Kakaaliw nga eh. I mean walang commitment! Pero ewan ko.. Considered na siguro kaming mag-M.U. (ewan. gusto ko siya, gusto din niay ko pero di kami). Wow. Parang high school. Ahaha. Pero hanggang dun muna. Gusto kong maayos na. 20 na ko! Shit! Hay.

(^_^) Sobra. High. Sarap ma-inlove muli't muli...

Kahit ilang beses na akong nasaktan. Umiyak. Nagpaiyak. Nadapa. Nagalit. Hindi pa rin nawawala ang paniniwala kong nariyan lang s'ya. Nariyan lang ang taong magpapatibok sa puso ko. Nandiyan lang siya... Lalalala. Hay. :*

I'm afraid nobody will catch me if I fall... *sniff!*

rack en rawled!

Naku. Hindi iyan picture ng isang babaeng nababahuan. Ako yan at ang student enrollment record ko sa PLM. Hindi ko pa pala nasabi pero sa University of the City of Manila (better known as Pamatasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila) ako magpapatuloy ng pag-aaral ng medisina. Hay. Sobrang pinaghirapan ko ang makapag-enroll! Last week pa nga akong pabalik-balik sa school para lang asikasuhin ang iba't-ibang credentials, requirements at kung anu-ano pang ka-chorvahan. Pero finally! finallllly talaga... Natapos din akong mag-enroll. Ahaha. Sa mga nagnanais na malaman ang aking mahiwagang toxic sched, eto na.. eto naaaa!

1 - 4 PM - Family and Community Medicine 1

Tuesday:

8 - 12 PM - Physiology

O di ba toxic? Ahaha. Kaya advanced paumanhin na sa inyo para sa mga susunod na araw, dahil lubhang magiging madugo talaga ang labanan. Susmaryosep! Buti na lang sa July pa ako mag-uuniform! Ayokong mag-palda! Ayoko! Ayoko! Madungis pa naman akong bata! Wahh! Miss ko na ang UP. Hay. Hay. Hay.... :c

quote for blog users

"For some idiotic reason, your most horrific experiences are the stories you most love to tell."

Comin' back

I went to upm yesterday!

Wah! I miss my alma mater! :c

Hay. I'm goin' to school (and it's not UPM nemore. huhu) after lunch to submit my credentials. I wonder if my other batchmates (med studes) are havin' troubles with frat/soro, org recruitments. Gahd. Intay niyo muna kaming maka-enroll! Lintek! Lol.

I've heard that my batchmate Joe (Joeriggo Reyes) already applied as an instructor in UPM. Naks naman. The next Jasper Obico pala si Joe. Haha. Sige nga Joe. Iganti mo kami. Pahirapan mo din yung mga students. Ahaha.

Hay. Mamya na lang yung ibang update.. Mirmo time!

Yatch depaun!

"Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall."

(i love this song. ^_^ it's from Teddy Geiger's For you I will.)

For someone I miss..

"Where'd You Go?"
~Fort Minor~

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...

Tea time with abi

Ewan ko..

...Pero "acquired taste" lang talaga ang tsaa para sa akin. Hindi ko ito gusto dahil wala itong lasa. Ginagamit ko lang ang tsaa para makalimot sa kape. Kailangan ko lang uminom ng tsaa kasi gusto kong matunawan. Hindi dahil gusto ko ito at hindi rin dahil mahal ko ang tsaa. Umiinom ako nito upang makalimot at dahil kailangan ko ang tsaa.

...Maihahalintulad ko ito sa pagmamahal na pinilit mahinog. Minahal mo ang isang tao hindi dahil mahal mo talaga siya. Nasa piling ka niya dahil gusto mong makalimot sa nakaraan. Nagtatagal ka dahil yun yung tingin mo na kailangan mong gawin. Kailangan mo iyong gawin dahil yun lang ang alam mong paraan para makabawi sa mga pag-aalala niya sa iyo.. Yun lang ang alam mong gawin para hindi mo siya masaktan.

...Ang epekto ng tsaa sa akin ay masahol lalo na kung nasa labas ako. Sasakit ang tyan ko ng sobra, hihilab at uutot ng walang pakundangan. Kapag gabi ko ito ininom tiyak na hindi ako makapagkatulog. Balisang-balisa ako at pabalik-balik sa banyo. Hanggang umabot sa puntong mailalabas ko rin ang lahat ng laman ng sikmura ko.. success! muli sa loob ng banyo.

...Gaya ng pagmamahal na pilit, hindi maaring walang masaktan. Masahol ang epekto nito sa taong pinilit mong mahalin. Dahil minsan bigla ka na lang magigising na may mabigat na dinadala. Hindi mo ito mapigilan at mapipilitan kang sabihin sa taong pinilit mong mahalin.

...Subalit kaiba sa pag-inom ng tsaa, hindi "success!" ang pakikipag-hiwalay sa taong pinilit mong mahalin... Dahil hindi ka naging tapat sa iyong damdamin at mas lalo mo lamang siyang sinaktan. Sa huli, ikaw ang talo dahil dadalhin mo ito ng pang-habambuhay sa iyong konsensya..

Iyon lamang po.

Mahal ko talaga ang kape. Subalit dahil lagi akong nahihilo sa kape, tsaa na lang muna. :c

lol

rip off of the controversial da vinci code..

"the de venecia code"

think i'm kidding?

check this out: The Da Vinci Code vs. The De Venecia Code

what will they think of next?

haha. i ain't gonna sleep yet.

still waiting for southpark later (11 pm). :p

da vinci mania

today is may 18.

crap. i want to go out and watch the da vinci code.

the only reason i'm watchin' da vinci is to see if that movie live up to my expectations. there are so many people making a big fuss out of that movie. in some countries, there were really desperate attempts to ban the movie (there was a religious leader who went in a hunger strike as a protest against the movie).. it's just a movie for cryin' out loud! and it's not based on proven facts (uhmm kaya yung classification nung novel eh FICTION!!!) hay. besides... if your faith is that strong, why would you let yourself get influenced by a movie? kaya nga tinawag na faith eh! also, in this era of information ek-ek, we should be open-minded... let me just remind you that we are a superior race.. we are given a thinking brain. we are not mindless drones! we are critical and analytical. hay.

oh well...

basta ako, manonood ako.

:p

P.S. The Da Vinci Code is Rated R. Meaning only "matured" adults (those belonging to the age group of 18 years old and above) can watch this movie. Ahaha. Good thing i'm already 20. They (MTRCB) will see to it that no pirated copies of the movie will be sold (I doubt).

================================

A follow up on the pink urinals...

(Thanks prince for supplying me the info on why MBF chose the color pink)

This issue was tackled on April 2006 ish of FHM (naks abi, ganda naman ng source of information mo!)

The question was: "Should pink urinals be a national landmark, to be installed at 10 meter regular intervals in every city in this fine country?"


Daym! Every 10 meters? Lol. Pink mania? My eyes! It burns!

matters..

and you said: "don't worry.. things won't change between the two of us."

righttt..

lies.

hay. don't mind me. i'm just ranting about being "sablay" always when it comes to that friggin' thing called love. haaaay. oh well.. if it's not meant for me, then so be it. i'm ready to be a spinster for life. huh! you guys are not getting some of my sweet lovin'!! it's your goddamn loss and not mine. lolz.

anyway...

movin' on to more important matters..

I heard MMDA's giving free deo (deodorant) to jeepney drivers.


and that's going to help our society in what way? ahh.. promoting good hygiene. oo nga naman.. "cleanliness is next to godliness." besides, that free deo scheme solves the problem of a localized air pollution inside the vehicle (if you know what I mean... *winks*)

pero pansin ko lang ah...

my gadar (gay radar) is registering strong activity on Mayor Bayani Fernando..

1st the pink fences
then those really offensive pink male urinals

now he's more concerned with male hygiene than the endless problem of traffic?

oh come on...

why choose the color pink for those goddamn annoying fences (seryoso to. yung fence na nasa boundary ng cavite and las pinas laging natutumba!) and for those urinals? man! pink's not visible at night! so what's up with choosing pink as the official color of MMDA? Lolz. What was Bayani's slogan (it's posted in EDSA)? Guwapo? Badtrip.. I can't remember that sign. If anyone knows that freaking sign, please leave a message on my tagboard or kindly post it on my comments box.

anyway...

am i the only one who thinks MBF is a bit feminine? (c'mon share your thoughts!)

o baka naman bitter ka lang dahil yung "recent ex" mo na jonding eh mahilig sa pink...?

no. i'm just making an honest observation here. i might be wrong or something.. all i'm asking is: "ano ba ang symbolism ng color pink sa ating society?" "bakit yun? bakit yun ang napili ni MBF na ipintura sa mga structures dito???"

yun lang po. ahehehe

(and i consider all of this... important? haha)


**a totally unrelated statement: "med student na ko sa june!"
(will elaborate on next post. :D)

gahddd. my crazy neighbors are driving me insane! they're havin' their usual videoke marathon! ay.. naku. ohh.. now... now they're singing the immortal: "Bato sa Buhangin by Ernami Cuenco" Shit. that song's like frank sinatra's my way tagalog counterpart. crap. if i get hold of a shotgun, i'm gonna shoot them down. no, maybe.. a slow and painful death will satisfy me. goddamn annowing neighbors. shit. shit. shit. hell. jologs niyo! tang*na niyong lahat!

Haha.

My fingers are crossed.. :)

============================

P.S.

Important reminder:

As of today, I go by the name: Earl Javier.

Hahaha... :)

Bullsh*t! It's one of those nonsense posts

What's wrong with me?

I got into another fight with my dad this morning. Gadd... I can't help being a smart mouth around him all the time! I know it's wrong to disrespect your parents and all (don't get me wrong, I love my family so much!) but I just can't stop my big mouth from making such horrendous comments (I'm like Frankie Muniz's character in Malcolm in the Middle). Seriously, the next time he talks to me, I'm just going to zip it or else... baka pulutin ako sa kangkungan if I continue with this smart mouthing behavior of mine. (better quit being a Philosophy major shit 'round my parents, if you know what I mean. *winks* haha.)

Anyway, moving on... Last night I called up Alex (I met him this summer. He's really nice and he's a great conversationalist. We talk about lots of stuffs. Dreams, fantasies, religion.. Name it and we'd probably encountered it on our paumagahan telethon sessions) because I was feeling kinda lonely. It's because J left for States yesterday morning and I kinda felt sad knowing that it'll probably be the last time talking to him (he might stay there for good). Although it wasn't a major ish that he left, still... I'm used to having him around for 7 years and we've been through a lot. Don't get me wrong here... I don't have any feelings (feelings = i want to get back with him shit) left for him. If steph or anybody in my block decides to leave, I'd be sad too. Hay. So much for that.

Back to the thing with Alex.. We talked about lots of stuffs as usual. We got into an "intellectual" discussion last night about genetics, botany, zoology, tropical fishes, piranhas... Oh I can go all morning telling you all of the things we talked about. Hay. It's really nice finally having someone who's willing to listen! Man. Plus, it's so good to talk about other things besides showbiz chismis, shopping, and love life! He's definitely a keeper. Lol. He's not my new love interest ah! I just like talking to him that's all (and he plays the guitar well! we had a jammin session already). :)

======================================

Swim Count (for Summer 2006) for Abi:

• I've been to 2 swimming pools so far. (Community pool + Club Italia)


• I've been to 2 great beaches. (Quezon + Batangas)

Future Swimming Plans:

• April's offer of another block swimming trip

Yesterday, I went to Club Italia with my family. Hay. I wasn't able to take pictures because I forgot to charge my camphone! (so no camwhoring for a while). Nothing special happened but there were cute guys! Ahihi.. There were like 4 cute-ones (including an uberly hot hot hot hot hottie American guy) swimming and one who was just chillin' out. Haaay. Guy-heaven. Haha. The 100 pesos fee was sooo worth it. Haha. Besides having those cuties 'round, the pool was really big and there were only few people swimming so we were able to enjoy ourselves (especially me). Hehe. :)

Hay. I love love love swimming! :D

Abi switches to daydreaming mode. (water and hot guys involved)

i love this bag..! ^_^

i want this bag!!



I saw a faux one (in black and gold, and pink and black) in greenhills!

It cost 900 bucks (700 may tawad pa daw) there. hayyy.. :(

I like.

Hay...

:(

Maybe I can score 700 bucks before school starts in june?
Hay... Gandang school bag. Astig. Hay... :(

Baggggg..!

Syete.

Kung may kakilala kayong nagbebenta ng ganitong bag for a lower price, pleaaase tell me! Hay. :( I want this bag.. Huhuhu.. I NEED (desperate) this BAG!

so much for being cursed

ayun. may kukuwento pala ako...

Kahapon, nagpunta kami ng parents ko sa Tutuban para hanapin yung bag na ipang-reregalo ng dad ko dun sa boss niyang Arabyana. Ayun. On the way dun sa Cluster Building (sa Tutubs), naisipan ng tatay ko na kumain ng penoy (ano bang translation ng penoy sa ingles?) tutal 5 pesos lang naman yung isa. Medyo hesitant nga ako kasi masirain yung tyan ko, saka medyo masakit na nga yung tyan ko nun dahil dun sa ininom kong gamot ng tanghali (nakaka-jebs yung effect nun). Pero dahil gusto kong mag-food trip, sumige na din ako. Kaso, puro bulok yung nakukuha kong itlog. Dalawa na yung nabalatan ko kaso puro bulok! Nyeta! Nakikita ng mom ko yun kaya binabalik niya yung itlog dun sa lot (i mean dun sa mga tumpok). Ayun. Tas nakita nung ale na nagbebenta yung mga nabuksan ng itlog! Pucha! Nabdtrip! Grabe. Tas todo-deny naman yung nanay ko na hindi kami yung nabgbalat nung itlog. Tas ayun. Nagsalita yung ale! Sabi ba naman: "Sana mamatay na yung nagbalat ng mga itlog na to! Sana madapa! Sana masagasaan!" Grabe. Sa harap ko pa sinabi di ba. Takte talaga. Sa halagang 10 pesos. Ay sus. Puro bulok naman yung tinda. Pero grabe. Inisip ko talaga yun. Nawalan nga ako ng ganang mag-shopping eh. Susmaryosep. Sayang talaga. Yun yung naging epekto ng pesteng curse niya sa akin! I lost the will to shop! Napraning kasi ako eh. Hay. Grabe hanggang sa pag-uwi inisip-isip ko talaga yung nangyari. Eh kaso, pano naman kaya kung kinain ko pa din yung itlog di ba? Pano kung nasira yung tyan ko at nagkaroon pa ko ng hepa? Di ba di ba? Hay naku. Moral of this story: Wag kumain ng itlog mula sa tabi-tabi. Baka bulok ang mapunta sa iyo at maisumpa ka pa tuloy nung nagbebenta. o_o' Hay. Nakakatrauma talaga... o_o! Hay. Hindi tuloy ako nakabili ng bag at mga notebook. Peste. Wala tuloy akong gagamitin sa darating na pasukan. Peste. Huhuhu...

Dami pa namang puwedeng bilhin tas parang wala nga akong gana. Huhuhuhu.... Namumutla nga daw ako sabi ng nanay ko eh. Waaaaa. Syete. May gusto pa naman akong bilhin na flats dun. Kulay black na knitted. Tangna talaga. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Syete.

Hirap talaga pag naninirahan ka sa isang bansa na puno ng mga superstitious na mga tao. Mapapraning ka talaagggaaaaaaaa!!!!! Pakshit. Ayun. Hindi naman ako namatay. Hindi rin ako natapilok. Nawalan lang ako ng gana mag-shopping at naligaw lang naman kami. At oo nga pala, naglakad kami ng super layo habang may buhat-buhat na mabigat na mga pinabili. Not bad. Mas ok na din siguro yun kesa nadapa ako o nasagasaan. Hay. :(

Aru. Pupunta na lang ako sa sm. Dun na lang ako bibili ng bagong school bag, notebuk at ballpen. At least dun walang nagbebenta ng bulok na penoy na nanunumpa ng mga namimili sa kanya. lolz. :D

Hay. Gusto kong magpunta sa BORA!!!!!! :(

Bora.
Bora.

May white at brown pala akong havana na flip-flops. Imitation man ng havaianas, ok na din! At least ndi ako matatakot mawala o manakaw sa akin yun. 35 pesos lang naman ang isang pair. Weeheehee. :) Hay. Gusto ko pa palang magkaroon ng pink, red, black, green na ganoong tsinelas. Hehehe. :) 3 for 100 lang naman eh. :)

Hay. Ilang linggo na lang!!!! Tag-ulan na naman!!! Ihanda na ang mga payong, boots, tsinelas at kapote dahil baha na naman! Lolz. Weeeeee..

Hay naku.

Maya na ulit. :)

That's about it. I'm gonna update this blog again when I have something interesting to share. :) Fore the meantime, enjoy the pictures me and Steph took. :)

It's my name in the sand! :) Steph made this. I made her one too (Nas + Steph) to remind her of the trip. :)


There were so many people in the beach at that time. Haha. I guess they're not afraid of having skin cancer. Good thing me and steph found a shade with a recliner. :)


I took this photo of the sea. There were alot of kelp (brown seaweed) and lumot exposed (low tide kasi. :p)


Steph took this photo. It's a bird's nest. My aunt found it near my grandparent's house.


Piggies! I teased steph: "Steph's the mama pig and the litter are her kids." Lol


Arms of the sea urchin lurking from the rock. :)


We got these starfishies from the beach. These guys were supposed to be (steph and nas - overlapped, and me - the biggest starfish)


Sunset at Sigayan Bay. V. romantic!! :p


I took this photo from Quezon beach (unnamed kasi yung beach). hehe. puwedeng pang-post card no? hehe


A fishing vessel. Good thing it was there because we held on to it (high tide, grabe lalim)

anyway, here's my subjects for the first sem(if i decide to push through with uphr):

MedPrac I - Medical Practice
Gr.Ana - Gross Anatomy
Physio - Physiology
Biochem - Biochemistry
Histo - Histology
Psychiatry I - as is
PMed1 - Preventive and Community Health

I already have an idea in physio (duh. ma'am de vera pa lang?), gross ana (from comparative ana or zoo 102), biochemistry (oh chem 40, how do i love thee?), histo (sus. i took this as an elective pa nga eh).

Piece of cake?

Righttt...

NO. YOU'RE WRONG!

Med school's different from Bio (in sooo many ways).

Sabi nga nung nag-interview sa akin...

"If you're prepared to have zero social life, then this the right career path for you."

Lol.

Bring it on..

Bring it on.......

The male species

Kahapon yung party - party ko kuno. Haha. Dumating yung mga relatives ko at syempre mega-hagot sila. Tameme na lang ako sa kanila. Oh well. At least masaya silang lahat. Hehe. Ayun. Tas nakuwento ko na ata dito yung hinanakit ko sa parents ko. Hay. Basta ako gagawin ko yung lahat ng kaya ko. Wala akong care kahit pilitin nila akong mag-nurse dahil isusuka at isusuka ko lang yung idea na yun. Aru. Basta tapos na yun. Hmm. Nakita mo yung title ng post na ito? The Male species bakit yun? Ayun. Kasi may kuwento ako.

Kahapon ng tanghali kinakausap ko si Chris (nakilala ko sa chat. dahil sa sobrang kawalan ng ginagawa last week, nag-download ako ng mirc at nag-chat). Actually dapat ngayon kami mag-uusap sa telepono (di ko pa binibigay yung # ko sa bahay. aru. hindi rin basta basta ang kinakausap ko sa net. english speaking kaya tong si chris). So ayun. Nagtanong ako ng personal question sa kanya. Tinanong ko kung bakit wala pa siyang gf (inassume ko to kasi sinabi niya sa akin na naghahanap daw siya ng girl na isasama sa cebu). Aba ang sagot sa akin. Meron na daw siyang special someone. So ako naman medyo dumistansya. Syempre. Baka mabola-bola pa ako nito at gawin akong pang-two time dun sa gf niya. Kinausap ko pa din siya ng maayos. Syempre ayoko namang maging rude. Pero syempre may konting censorship na mga sinasabi ko sa kanya. Ayun. Tas nahalata ata. Nagtanong kung bakit. Sinabi ko na yung totoo. Syempre. Alangan namang magsinungaling pa ako. Sabi ko.. Hindi naman siguro tama na maging sobrang close ako sa kanya dahil baka ano yung isipin ng gf niya sa akin. Syempre kung ako din naman yung nasa lugar nung gf niya, natural na magseselos ako. Sa amin nga ni steph, distansya pa din ako sa bf niya dahil kahit mag-best friend kami ni steph at full trust ang loka sa akin, hindi mo pa rin maalis yung selos dahil innate yun sa babae. Umiiral din ang animal instincts nun kahit subconscious. Ang mali naman kasi ni Chris dun eh bakit nagpupunta pa siya sa chatroom kung talagang mahal niya yung gf niya? Di ba dapat mas ilapit mo yung sarili mo sa kanya imbis na mag-aksaya ka ng oras maghanap ng makakausap. Tas. Ito pa ah. Sinabihan pa ako ng: "i really like you abi. u always make me smile. i really enjoy talking to you." whaaat? tangna. ewan ko sa kanya. dapat ang gf mo ang sinasabihan mo niyan. lolz. basta ang end point niyan. hindi na ako nag-reply. lol. last thing na sinabi niya sa akin eh: "please give me a chance." chanceeee? anong chance ang pinagsasabi mo dudung? hahahaha. kumusta naman?? bakit ba kasi inentertain ko pa? haha. malas. oh well. charge to experience na lang abi. eto lang. ndi na ako magagawi ulit dun sa mirc. sus. sa susunod na mabobored ako, itutulog ko na lang. lol. hahaha.

ayun. oo nga pala. mega-bati pala dapat ang drama nitong si windouz sa akin nung graduation ko. Nag-miss call kahapon at with matching text pa. Parang nanunumbat pa. Bakit daw patay yung cellfone ko? Tatawagan daw niya sana ako para batiin. Aru. Ano namang klaseng katarantaduhan yan? Sabi ko tapos na kami. Ampotah. Niloko ko nga para tumigil. Sabi ko binigyan ako ng boquet nung grad. Aba. Todo tanong. Sino daw ang nagbigay? Aru. Bakit concerned ka? Ahh.. Alam ko na. Inggit ka lang no? Aruuu. Haha. Ndi ko na nireplyan pagkatapos dahil sumasakit na ulo ko eh. Haha. Sobrang kakaiba talaga kayong mga kalalakihan. Lol. Kumplikado kayo!

Ayun muna. Maliligo na ako. Wehehe.

hay

for some reason..

Even if I did graduate yesterday. Even if I did my very best to march with my batchmates. Somehow, I can see that it was not enough for my parents (especially my dad). Sure I saw that they were happy but not that happy. Oh no. I'm not imagining things here. It's true. How true?

This afternoon while browsing the merchandise in duty free, I casually mentioned my plan of going to states at my final year of med proper to my dad (I was inspired by kuya ronnie to take up my internship outside the country). You know what he told me? "Gusto mo palang mag-abroad, bakit hindi ka na lang nag-nursing?" Shit. It's that fucking nursing thing again (excuse me to those who wants to become a nurse). Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin na gusto kong maging duktor! Ayokong maging nurse! At punyeta.. Graduate na nga ako ng bio eh! Let it go na! Shit shit shit!!

Hay. I'm so pissed off. I've got one thing to say to all of them: Pera niyo lang ang ginamit ko para makatapos. Hindi niyo alam kung ilang balde ng luha ang nilabas ng mata ko sa tuwing hirap na hirap na ako. Hindi niyo alam kung ano ang dinanas ko para lang makagraduate. Hindi niyo alam kung ano'ng nangyari sa akin. Hindi niyo alam.. Kaya wag kayong mag-comment dahil wala kayong alam kung paano ko ginapang yung sarili ko makatapos lang. Maging masaya na lang kayo para sa akin. Ito yung buhay na pinili ko. Wag niyo na akong pilitin na mag-nursing dahil punyeta. Kahit anong pilit niyo sa akin.. Hindi ko isasakripisyo ang kaligayahan ko para lang mapasaya ko kayo.

Hay.

I'm really sad. And so frustrated...

The graduate

Graduate na ko!

I'm soo hapy!

Nuf said!

Pain pain pain

Ang sakit ng ngipin ko. Waaaahh..

Just got my teeth cleaned!

Waaaaaa..

Wala pa din ako sa mood gumawa ng matinong entry.

Huhuhu

BUM

Tinatamad pa kong gumawa ng bagong entry. Haha. Later na lang. Weeeeeee

Of aswangs and letting go

I don't know if I can't do it all over again..

I mean letting go and forgetting someone who had been a part of your life. I haven't mastered this skill yet that's why I'm having a hard time letting go of a recent "tragedy" in my life. I've been trying to make myself busy during the past few days just to erase him from my memory. Hay. Someday we'll know.. Why I wasn't meant for you... (Is it because I don't possess the right sex organ in between my legs?? Tell me!!! Wahhh.)

So much for gay love.

I was a bit depressed this morning the whole day. Why? Steph cancelled our supposed to be all day "swimming" date. The reason? She had her freaking period! :( :( :( Hay. We planned it for weeks only to find out that her freaking period would ruin our fun. Hay. I'm so mad. Up to now! Badtrip!

Hay. Ayan. Nasira yung mood. Naalala ko na naman. Tsss. :s

Ending the hiatus for just a sec...

Para mang-inggit!

Ang sarap mag-swimming!!!!
Ang sarap ng feeling ng walang ginagawa!!!

Grabe.

Ang saya pag alam mong super deserving ka na magpahinga at magsaya. Ang sarap ng feeling na tapos na yung mga dapat mong alaalahanin at ang tanging dapat mong isipin ay ang sarili mo! Hay. Pero minsan naalala ko pa din siya.. Kung kumusta na ba siya, kung ok lang ba siya.. Syempre di pa naman kasi ako totally over kay *toooot* eh. Minahal ko din naman siya no. Saka di ko naman siya niloko. Hay. Enough. Summer post to tas magddrama na naman ako. Ayun.

Sensya na hindi pa din napapalitan ang lay-out ng blog ko. Nag-consider naman ako ng pampalit dito, kaso wala eh, sira at sabog ng kinalalabasan! Kaya hahanap pa ako ng lay-out na ieedit ko kaya saka na! Ang effort kasi. Naka-on vacation nga ang status ng blog na ito. Weeee.. Haha. Sinusulit ko yung natitirang oras.. Paano mag-uumpisa na naman ang pasukan nila steph sa Mapua kaya halos inaaraw-araw na namin ang bonding session namin. :D

Ayun. Basta. I'm making the most out of this week kaya sorry talaga wala kayong makikitang matinong post dito. Weeeee. :) I lurrrrrve summer!!

Nga pala.. I dedicate this song lyrics to you, my past love.. Hay.

"Goodbye My Lover"

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

hiatus

on blog leave. :D

Tired

I'm tired of living an ornery life. Tired of being pushed away. Tired of believing that true love exists. Tired of getting hurt over and over and over and over again (and it goes on and on and on and on). Tired of bein me.

Hay.

depressed mode.

hay.

Sama ng pakiramdam ko. Pero kahit malungkot ako at kahit ang sama sama ng loob ko kailangan ko pa ding humarap sa buhay ko. Sana may puwede akong pindutin na pause button sa buhay ko. Lahat ng tao titigil at ako... Tatakbo ako sa isang sulok at magmumukmok. Iiyak hanggang mapagod. Magtatanong kung bakit lahat ng bagay ay napaka-kumplikado. Kung bakit simple lang naman ang hinihingi pero hindi iyon mabigay sa akin. Walang ibang makakapagpasaya sa akin dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman ko. Iuuntog ang ulo sa pader para lang lumabas ang sagot sa katanungang: "Bakit ako pa?" Sisigaw at muling iiyak. Makaraang gawin lahat yun.. Siguro puwede na ulit i-play yung buhay ko. Kaya ko na ulit magpanggap na matapang ako, na walang nangyari at masaya ako. Kahit hindi.

Bakit ganoon? Gusto ko lang namang maging masaya. Pero ano? Napupunta ako sa mga sira-ulo. Lalo na ngayon. Pinilit kong pinigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo ko para makasabay sa kanya. Ang sakit dahil alam ko wala akong kasalanan. Ginawa ko yung mga dapat. Isinantabi ko yung sarili ko at nagmahal ako. Pero ano'ng nangyari? Naiwan akong mag-isa sa mundo ko. Hay. Sana hindi ko na lang inaming mahal ko siya. Para alam kong ako yung may kasalanan. Mas naging madali siguro kung noong isang araw na iyon ay tinanggi kong hindi ako ang kausap mo. Na sana, sana hindi na lang kita nakilala at minahal. Na sana hindi ako naniwala sa mga pangako mo. Pero ngayon. Puro ako sana. Sana. Sana hindi ako umiiyak ngayon. Sana hindi ako nasasaktan. Sana hindi muli nabasag ang puso ko. Sana....

Malamang nito wala na naman akong pakialam sa mga taong nakapalibot sa akin. Maglalakad ng walang direksyon. Iiyak paulit-ulit. Magtatanong. Masasaktan. Magiging in-denial at papaniwalain ang sariling ok lang lahat. Hay. Sana hindi na lang ako biniyayayaan ng puso. Hay.

Alam mo ba kung bakit ako nasasaktan ng ganito? Ang malamang bakla ang mahal mong guy ay hands down. Mas masakit yun p're. Sobra.

Highlights of the week: Bus casualties, thesis, and a whole lot more!

With a few more days left to freedom, I'm swamped with academic work (thesis defense, finals, clearance..) It left me with only 2-3 hours of sleep, an empty wallet and totally 0% social life. If there's one thing that keep me sane during this times, it's the thought that I'd be spending a worry-free summer with my loved-ones. I'm thinking of roasting myself in the scorching sands of Batangas or Bora, Cool off at Tagaytay and shop-till you drop at Bangkok. I really wanted to spend my summer at Bahrain with my dad but due to time constraints (one month isn't enough.. :c) and problems with his work schedule (he can't go back there till May 21 because his ticket is scheduled at that date) that plan will remain as a dream. Hay. Plus, I forgot to renew my visa! Lol. I can't go there and be an illegal immigrant (TNT - Tago ng Tago) (it's not the kind of trip that I like). Hay. Summer here I come!

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

I'll be changing the lay-out of this blog prolly next week after my academic commitments. I'm thinking of a summer skin, with all the pictures of sand, water and sun. Hay! Sorry, I love summer that much. :D So be on the look-out for the new and improved frigginday.blogspot.com next week! :D

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

So what happened to me last week?

• Monday: One month of being pseudo-inlove with someone.
  
  
• Tuesday: Last exam in Animal Physio lab! Weefee!
  Watched Hostel with my brother and bestfriend (Gore + bondage = yum)
  
  
• Wednesday: Went to school for stat.
  Bus casualty: Had a really annoying seatmate at the bus. Can't control blabbering at her fone with his boyfriend (Warren - lol. don't ask me how I knew her boyfriend's name). They had this "away-bati" scenario going on and it's really really disturbing (One minute they're arguing and then some minutes later, the girl starts laughing again). There were funny parts though (It's so damn funny when the girl was guessing what the filipino translation of "cor." or corner - it was KANTO :D) (Her boyfriend on the other line gave her the first 2 (K and A) and last letters (O) and she told KALBO.) So I burst into laughter (a lot of people looked at me. lol) WTF? Corner is KALBO in filipino lingo???? Ahh, the complexities of filipino language. Hahahaha.
  
  Another bus casualty: When the bus was in front of DLSU-Taft, a delivery truck tried to overtake the bus that I was riding. And the pointy edge of the back part of the truck must've hit the bus' right side mirror because it shattered into pieces. So the bus stopped and the conductor went down to talk to the driver. He demanded the truck driver to pay 150 pesos for the damage. But the truck driver refused to believe that it was his fault so he suggested to look for a traffic aide and obtain first a police report. We all saw the he was so fucking stupid and rammed his freaking truck at the bus. 150 pesos was a reasonable price compared to the hassle that he was suggesting. (hello? they need to go a long process before fixing the damged side-mirror: police report, insurance claims!)
  
  So when the conductor told the bus driver that the truck driver refused to cough up 150 pesos, the bus driver got hold of a metal tube and went out of the bus. WTF? Metal tube inside a bus? It seems they're always ready for action! You know what they did with the metal tube? (No they didn't beat up the stupid truck driver) They shattered the truck's right side-mirror! Amanos! (revenge complete! Highway justice had been served that easy!) They both ran inside the bus after doing the devious deed and hit the accelerator (what a bunch of whimps! running away from the scene of the crime. lol)
  
  
• Thursday: Had a "surprise" informal thesis defense in UP Diliman.
  WTF? I wasn't prepared at that time so I sucked. Big time. (Lol. Ralph, if you're reading this, you owe me!) Plus, I didn't have enough money to go home to Las Pinas so I asked my mom to fetch me up at Robinson's Ermita. Lol. Surprise! Thesis defense natin sa Diliman! Somebody shouldv'e taken a pic of me when Ralph told me that line.(To give you a mental image: My jaw dropped and my eyes were round as saucers.)
  
  
• Friday: Submitted copies of final draft to adviser and readers.
  Jeep scenario: Since it was already 6:00 pm (during this time, there are no comfy seats left for me in the bus coming from Lawton), I decided to take a jeep ride to Buendia where the empty buses bound to Las pinas are lingering (waiting for passengers from Makati and those round the area of Buendia). In front of me was an Indian national. He had a goldish tint of hair, hairy arms, pointy nose, a silver bangle, and a black document bag. He was so impatient when the jeep driver kept on stopping and asking people on the streets to ride his jeep bound to Baclaran. He was making annoying hand gestures, jerky body movements, and "Tsk-tsk" sounds every time the jeep stopped or slowed down. Man...! I got so dizzy looking at his body movements. Hay. I really wanted to tell him that he should've taken a taxi ride. Sus, sa hirap ng buhay dito sa Manila, talagang makaka-encounter siya ng mga bakaw na driver! (wait, how would you translate this phrase: "buwaya ang mga driver dito sa Manila"?? "The drivers in manila are alligators?" Lol).

Meet the Parents

Hehe.. Before I formally end my single status, there would be a "meet the parents" charva between him and of course my parents. Hahaha. I already told my mom about him. Hehehehe. Kelangan formal dahil matanda na ako. :p

=======================

Uhh. I was really trying hard not to laugh a while ago when I saw this Razon guy (I don't know his first name) being interviewed in a news program in Channel 7. I know it's bad to laugh at other people. But I just can't help it. He was being interviewed because the person who was responsible for the death of his son (due to a car accident) surrendered himself (I think so). And he gave this ever melodramatic speech like a monologue speech of the lead actor in some action flick. He was like this: "Ang sinungaling ay kapatid ng magnanakaw." and "Ninakawan mo ako ng pinakaimportanteng bagay na minsan lang ako puwedeng magkaroon." (or something like that). Now where did I hear that line before???? In some Eddie Gutierrez flick? Ughh. I'm so bad. I feel bad for him for losing his son. I guess he was just carried away by his emotions. Losing someone dear to you can be overwhelming. Hay. Life is short. You'll never know when the Grim Reaper will come and get you.

In a lighter side of life, I just finsihed watching the show "Made to Order" hosted by Guy and Michael Rubino. I really love these guys! They combine food and art by creating dishes with lively and creative presentations. The food that they serve to their "special customers" (they do special favors and menu tastings) are simple yet its elegance is very evident. That's why they:

Michael Rubino (wearing black) and Guy Rubino (wearing his chef outfit)

are my idols in terms of cooking and presentation. If you guys are interested in watching their show, you could catch them every Thursday (8:30 pm, HKG time) at Discovery Travel and Living. :D

=======================

I was interrupted from finishing this journal entry by two t.v. programs. Hay. Anyway, besides "Made to Order" I really like watching "Fashion Avenue" (also from the same channel). Even if I'm not that fashionable, I enjoy watching people buying dresses, shoes and accessories and knowing how much it cost in other countries. It's a must see for kikay girls who want to know the current trends in other countries and how much (price) to expect. But a word of caution, you could be disappointed while watching the show (lusting over things you can't have is very tough for a shopaholic). (Anyway, I'm annoyed with beautiful women with weird voices or weird accents. ~ Jodie Kidd's guest host on Fashion Avenue was a pretty lady, but when you hear her talk, ay Dyos ko, her voice could pass as Kim Sam Soon's ). If you want to watch this show, tune in every Thursday from 9 to 10 pm at Discovery Travel and Living.

International Super model Jodie Kidd hosts "Fashion Avenue" on Discovery Travel and Living

Simultaneously, I watched "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" in GMA-7. Windouz kinda influenced me to watched this show because he told me that Kim Sam Soon reminded him of me. I don't know if it's a compliment or what. Hahaha. Even if it's an insult, I am starting to like that show. In fact, I'm watching it for 4 days now. :D Achievement! I don't normally watch soap operas from local channels because I think the stories are so over-rated and impossible to happen in real life. (I try to watch the endings though... ;))

My Name is Kim Sam Soon is aired every 9:30 pm at GMA Channel-7

=======================

Hay. I need to sleep now because I need to go to school tomorrow to meet Ralph for our thesis. :D

Thanks:

Food TV for Guy and Michael Rubino's fab pic
Showbiz Ireland for Jodie Kidd's glam photo
Yes Asia for Kim Sam Soon Photo

P.S. Sorry if I'm too critical in this post.

Hostel

Oh yeah. Gore.Nudity.Violence

Wait for me.
I'm gonna watch you this weekend.

Thanks IMDB for the pic.

Never again

Never again will I succumb to failure.

I feel a change comin' up.

Metanoia here I come.

=================================

Switch to a channel then saw this scene:

*Raining hard outside.

Girl takes off her shirt.

Guy approaches girl.

Girl looks guy straight in his eyes.

Girl wraps her arms around the guy's neck (no, not the strangle type)

Guy leans and kiss the girl.

Girl mutters some lines.

Next thing you see...

Guy is wrapped in a blanket.

Morning already.

Note: Seriously.. this one's a cliche. Harhar.

multi-tasking once more.

I just did my sentence outline for animal physio reporting while reading entries on a newly found blog-site, thinking about thesis defense and listening over and over to 98 degrees' Because of You. Man. I'm one busy student. I haven't rested since I got from Diliman (I literally ate dust there). Hay. Still... I've got so many things to do later. Hay.

P.S. Blog plug. If you guys have loads of spare time, visit this blog:

Waiterrant

You'll find this 37 year-old man's blog quite interesting. (In case you haven't noticed from his web address, he is a waiter) :D

Busy busy day

Instead of sleeping all day, I went to UPD today to do some additional experimentation for our thesis. So despite feeling a wee bit sick (usual colds and the katamaran streak I've been havin' lately), I dragged my body to QC. Only to find out that both my thesis partner and Kuya Knong won't be coming to help me out. So I can't do anything about it but to do the job alone. A-L-O-N-E. Imagine a sloth in action. It's not possible I tell you! But because I was already there, I had no choice. So I did ALL the thesis work from 10 am till 3 pm (straight, no break). Hay. I can't ask Windouz to fetch me from UPD because he has a basketball game to go to in North Greenhills. Even if he has a car, LP is so out of his way. (brat ko naman pag nagpahatid ako! ) Anyway, I ended up going home alone. He did remind me to stay at the house and rest. He'll be calling from time-to-time to check-up on me. Hay. But I ended up in SM Southmall by 5 pm with my mom and my cousin. *Tigas ng ulo, abi!!* Well, I immediately checked our phone's caller ID and he didn't call yet. Whew. Busy busy!!

Tomorrow, I'll be back in UPD. But not for thesis but for our finals in P.E. (Yuck abi, 4th year may P.E. pa! -- I've completed all my P.E. subjects but somehow, one of them didn't appear on my TOR.. ) Then in the afternoon, I'll be making an outline for our journal reporting this Thursday. (It is entitled: Effects of food deprivation on daily changes in body temperature and behavioral thermoregulation in rats)

Anyway, that's all for now. I need to sleep early because we're required to be in UPD before 8 am.

Ciao bambino, bambini!

Hay.

So after a very long and tiring day, I give my much awaited... Blog post!

Jarann!!

Hahaha.

I'm not in the mood to write anything here right now.

Maybe I'll post something sensible tomorrow!

I'm kinda emotionally unavailable right now.

You know what I mean. ;)

"Ang bumangga sa aming dalawa, giba!"

I know what you're thinkin'...

What's the real score between you and that guy, abi?

Well.

We're just friends..

Showbiz!

Seriously,

I'm happy with him.
He makes me feel special.
He makes me feel like i'm the most important person everday...
He makes me smile.
He's one of a kind.

Windouz Tiangco --> Weird name huh?
I don't care. He's my weird, Kim-Sam-Soon fanatic slash basketball fanatic guy.

He's my Randy Santiago (I used to tease him that when his eyes got bitten by an insect.)
Sweet kasi eh kaya kinakagat ng ipis. Wehehehe.

Hahahaha. :p

Sorry bout the lovestruck post.

Close encounter with the 3rd kind

*3rd kind - ang ex na hindi mamatay-matay, pabalik-balik parang had-had.

Nakakabadtrip talaga. Dati yung ex ko (nyarks.. :s) yung tumatawag dito tas ngayon some freak-o na nagpakilalang kapatid daw siya ng ex ko. WTF? Tumawag yun dito kanina lang. Kumakain pa ako ng agahan! (hindi si j yung tinutukoy kong ex) badtrip. Tas tinanong pa: "You're taking up BS biology in UP right?" Fuck. Ano yun? Yun yung basis niya para tawagan ako at kulitin? Tas gusto pang makipag-meet sa akin. WTF? At for "personal and exclusive reason" daw. Ang drama. Binigay pa sa akin yung number niya! Hay. Itetext ko nalang at hindi ako papayag. Ano yun? Ano'ng motibo nilang magkapatid. Wala akong care sa kanila. Sinumbong ko nga dun kay Win (yung bago) . Kaso mukhang tulog pa. 11 pm na din kasi siya nakatulog kakahintay sa reply ko. Hay naku. Badtrip. Hindi na ito funny. Weird na lang talaga.

Just the two of us lyrics

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And see the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you

{Refrain}
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us, just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait too late
We got to go for all we know

{Refrain}

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you

{Refrain}
...Building big castles way on high...

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it, just the two of us
Let's get together, baby
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it, just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it, just the two of us
{Repeat last two lines to fade}

Shopping spree

I'm broke right now. Yep. Not a single dime in my wallet.

It got me wondering.. Where the hell did my money went?

Well.

I blame the freaking capitalist Henry Sy, the proud owner of SM Supermalls (please don't sue me). I hate him for bringing SM near (fine, proximal is the more appropriate term) our house. I also blame my mom for agreeing to accompany me shop at SM. Despite the fact that I'm currently experiencing a dry spell because of the enormous printing and re-printing thesis fees + recent thesis poster tarp expenses + Manila - Diliman - Manila - Las Pinas everyday trip expense, I still managed to spend all of my remaining money. I get easily distracted by cheap advertising. My eyes bulge and my jaw drops everytime I see: SM Big Big Sale, Up to 50% off! Fuck. "Must buy only the essentials." But what the hell are the essentials? I bought books because they are essential. (Well, I bought 2 pocketbooks at National Bookstore) I bought food because as we all know food is essential. Only thing is that I bought junk food and Sambos (what? I'm just following the bible saying: "Man cannot live on bread alone."). I bought slippers because partly they're considered as clothes. And clothes are essentials too, right? I know what you're thinking right now. Yup. I'm just making myself believe that all of the stuffs I recently bought are important and I shouldn't be guilty at all. Even if my wallet is screaming on top of its lungs: "FEEED MEEEE. I NEED CASSSSH." Here I am, passing the blame to the proprietor of the shopping mecca of Manila.

Hay. If I'm gonna keep this spending-shopping spree, I really need a job a wealthy man to buy me all of my luxuries. Cheap! Hahaha. But in this time of need, we all need to be resourceful (Friendly-user). Hahaha. Just kidding. :D Really the moral of this monologue is to spend your money wisely and the hell with Henry Sy and the Gokongwei's!!!! Ok let's revise that once more. The moral of this post is: Spend your money wisely and don't go to the mall when they're on sale. Ok. I give up...

Don't buy things that you don't need or you'll end up like me.
Poor and miserable.

I can't text anybody right now.
I spend the last of my money on earrings.
No money, awanti load.

Share-a-load or pasaload anyone?

Desperado.
Hahahaha.

P.S. You guys should try Brownies' Sambos.
They're to die for. 20 pesos each lang!

Babies!

Cute and cuddly babies!

I got this from Yahoo! Kulet ng itsura nung baby!



Baby Tai and Justin! I like this one kasi nakatingin si Tai sa cam!



Aww.. This is Baby Italeigh (from Justin's album ulit). She's supposed to be Tai's gf??



Baby Tai and Italeigh. They look so good together! Pogi and danda!!

If you plan to use this pictures or copy them to your disk...

Please ask me first!! :D

Thank you:

Yahoo and Justin for the pix!! :D

Squirrels in Manila?

Now thats very freaky. I've read that squirrels are invading Dasma and Forbes from Jessica Zafra's blog (Click this --> Jessica ). Daym! Talk about introduction of new critters here in our country. Wow. Iba talaga ang Dasma at Forbes. Parang asa Isteyts na ang mga tao dun! May squirrel pa! Lintek, I'm a freaking biologist and I don't even know how that happened. Hmm. Prolly those dugyot-looking rats must've evolved into furry and cute critters as their form of surviving this mapangmatang society. Hay. I wanna go there just take some pictures, but I don't know if their security guards will let me in. Hahaha. Ano naman kaya ang sasabihin ko? "Manong, I've heard that there are squirrels in your village, can I take a picture? It's been a life-long dream of mine kasi to see them ehh." or maybe "Manong, bibisitahin ko lang po yung lola ko. You know Tita Cory? Ah. Apo niya ako sa libag. Hahahahah." Good luck sa akin. So if anyone of you guys know someone living on either village, can you please ask them to take a picture of the said critters and please send it to my email? Squirrels in Manila? Next time will be seeing polar bears here. Cooool. :D

short post

"UP Manila is a reputable school of tertiary learning in the health sciences, and more high school students interested in this field apply to it than any other college or university in the country. U.P. is also noted for its highly political and activist student body promoting stands on national issues, as well as adopting a stance of academic freedom and excellence."

I got this from wikipedia.

LOL. I'll be leaving UP several weeks from now.

I'm gonna miss the...

...haunted RH rooms.
...perpetually foul-smelling bio lab rooms.
...wacky lab attendants of DB and Chem stockroom
...slave-drivers of DPSM and DB
...oh-so-liberated prof of DAC, Charlie (his assumed name)
...crazy guards of CAS
...rat-infested cafeteria
...mosquito-rich tambayan near oblation
...very revealing statue of OBLE
...floors of RH
...rooms of GAB
...masungit girls of OCS
...girls of Sir Go (OSS SA's)
...CR. (uh no. I'm happy to leave UP because of this)

and so much more.

But on top of it all.

I'm gonna miss my family in UP.

My blockmates.

Hay.

:C

In a rage

Excuse me but this post is not for the weak-hearted nor those who haven't seen the bitch in me.

Screw those freakin' women with blue collar jobs! The nerve! Ihatehatehatehatehate their guts! Bitches! (ok well not of all them)

So what am I talking about??

Earlier this evening, we decided to drop by VALUE POINT Superstore to inquire if they have a freaking pin so we could pump air in our balls (basketballs, volleyballs, you know what I mean..). My mom asked a coupola girls who were lazily (take note!) folding their towel merchandise. There was no store music playing at that moment nor they weren't that busy. Only one girl responded and asked her companions if they knew whether their freaking department store was selling that freaking pin. And d'you know what they did? They freaking snobbed my mom! My mom was just standing there the whole time waiting for their response! For short, they weren't paying attention at all! I mean, the least they could do is open their MOUTHS and tell something. Unless they're deaf or speech impaired, I would've understand their situation. But noooo. They just stood there and continued folding towels. Screw them! Not because they're not getting enough pay or they have so many family problems that doesn't mean that they ould take all their dspair in the customer! We were not asking that pin to be free, we're willing to P-A-Y, pay! for the freaking pin! I hate them so much right now.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!

Sorry if this post came out... BAD. >.<'

RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!!!!

How time flies..

I've discovered some of my high school batchmates' friendster accounts.

Ito lang ang masasabi ko..

Oh kaybilis ng oras.

Grabe. May mga graduate na sa kanila at yung iba ay may work na. Tas yung mga inakala mong mahinhin, aba may boyps at gelps na! hay. and to think high school batchmates ko yung mga yun. Baka isang araw sa aking office (naks, office daw) nakita ko naman yung mga college buddies ko, may asawa't anak na! Hay. Ayoko pang tumanda!! Hay. But it's so inevitable. Next week thesis defense na, and then finals tas graduation na. Ang bilis bilis! Parang noon lagi akong tumatambay sa bahay ni stephanie para makinood ng cable. Wala pa kaming interes sa mga guys o sa pakikipag-date o sa make-up. Tas ngayon, grabe. Ininvite na niya ako sa wedding nila ni jonas (planned!) sa 2011. Dati sobrang immature namin! Hindi namin maintindihan kung bakit ba kelangang magsipag sa pag-aaral. Di rin namin alam kung gaano kahalaga yung value ng pera. Tas ngayon iba na. Parang andaming naiisip na problema (naging major issue na ang perang pang-gimik), kahit yung mga hindi naman dapat pinoproblema sinasama! Hay. Paano pa kaya 10 years or at least 5 years from now? Mas madami kaya akong problema? Ano na kaya ang issue by that time? Buhay pa kaya ako nun? (Sana naman no!). Kung meron lang way para makabalik or maka-move forward sa time dimension... Ang sarap balik-balikan ng mga alaala ng nakaraan. Kung paano ka nadapa at nagkamali noon.. Yung mga masasayang alaala nung bata ka pa. Pero ang sarap din namang malaman kung ano yung hinaharap mo. Kung magtatagumpay ka ba or hindi. Kung magkakapamilya ka ba o hindi? Hay.

Parang wala akong gagawin ah at puro ako pag-iisip! Mag-aaral pa ako sa animal physio! Dapat maganda yung makuha kong score dahil feeling ko ambaba ng score ko nung 2nd exam. Hay. Ilang chapter pa ba tong aaralin ko?? (buklat ang makapal na hand-outs). Ay mukhang marami pa a! Hay. Bukas pala makukuha yung pictures sa Great Image (yung parang kapamilya drama series ang pose namin). Buti pa yung mga mag-fifield trip lang bukas!! (Oi leeann, pasalubong ko??) (April, marvin, jeff, chel --> May swimming charvaness pala kayo bukas sa Laguna!) hay. Sige na. :D babu!

P.S. I miss taking pictures. :C One of these days, I shall take my camera from its dusty grave. :D

Man..

^_^

nuf said.
did i say anything?

fallen.
inlove.

l.o.v.e

Now you're gone, what am I gonna do
I'm sooo empty my heart, my soul can't go on
Go on baby without you....
Rainy days fade away
when you come around
say your here to stay
With me boy
I don't want you to leave me
I need you.........

From: love by Keyshia cole..

Sandaling tumigil ang mundo ko..

Bakit ako nasaktan nung nalaman ko na chickboy ka?

Bakit nagalit ako ng nalaman ko na maaring may kaagaw ako sa yo?

Bakit hinihintay ko yung mga messages mo?

Bakit nakangiti ako pag naalala kita?

Bakit...?

Mahal na ba kita?

Shit.

Ayoko nito.

A salute to our noses.

I just finished watching some show in National Geographic. (Background screams: "Geek! Geeeeeekkk!") They talked about scent and how it affects your emotions. I really enjoyed the part where some girl fell in love with this guy because they love each other's scent. But I felt sad to learn that there are really people who can't smell. I mean that sucks because you can't enjoy your food! You can't enjoy walks because you just look at people, you just feel but still, deep down there's something missing. In the said show, they featured one guy who was suffering from such condition, and he got so depressed! He can't socialize with people, he can't eat and one by one his memories of the past were fading. WTF? Memories fading due to damaged olfactory sense? Oh yeah. I remembered my professor in Animal Physiology discussing something about the role of "scent" in triggering our brain to remembercertain memories. Hay. That's really really sad. But the good thing was, at the end of the show, he got his sense of smell back. The intense smell of coffee sort-of revived his dying olfactory sense. Boy, he was so happy to regain his precious sense of smell. I sure hope I don't get that condition...

Anyway to check a brief program description of the show, click hereee --> LINKKKKK!!!

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

One more thing...

Hay. I'm kinda "in-like" (is there such thing as in-like??) with this guy right now. I don't like to elaborate much because I don't want to jinx it or anything. All you need to know is this guy is willing to take care of me (daw) and he won't ever leave me (daw). I mean I'm not sure yet. Even if I knew him for several years now I don't know if I can trust him. I really don't want to get hurt anymore (I know it's not possible for me to not get hurt, duh?! Love = pain + joy) but a part of me wants to just take the plunge and give in. I really like this guy because he's so caring.. He always remind me to eat on time, to take care of myself of always and sleep early. I missed having someone telling me of those things! Dilemma. dilemma. dilemma! I want to trust this guy, and be in a relationship! I want to be vulnerable once more. I need someone to take care of me. Tell me always that I'm the best. Hold my hand when things go wrong. I need more time! Pero baka mag-ala Justin din kami nito. I made Justin wait wait wait then ayun... Hay. Kanta na lang ako. Let's take it slow, so slow...

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

Last..

I watched "Close to You" last Wednesday (with Jessa, Jeff, Rach, and April). I really liked that movie because it wasn't the fairy-tale slash uberly cheesy type. It can happen in real life (hindi ko nga lang na-gets kung paano naging mag-on si Sam at si Bea, hinalikan lang siya, sila na agad.. Ganoon ba yun??). I enjoyed it because there were no over-mushy lines and it was so refreshing (hindi kasi heavy drama ang dating nito)! I commend Sam Milby for trying his very best to speak Tagalog, Bea and John Lloyd for acting naturally! Hay. I suggest you guys watch it. It's a nice film. :D Hay. :D

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

Yun muna ulit. I need to read my hand-outs in physio. :D Exam sa Monday!! :((

Jollibee on wheels..

Nakita ko si Jollibee kanina!

Nakasakay ng bike!!!!

Wahaha. Kala nio bangag ako?

Wala lang akong nakuhang pic pero totoo.

Marketing strategy ata yun ng Jollibee eh.

Nakakatawa talaga.

Pramis.

Saan ka pa?

Bubuyog na nakasakay sa bike!

Onli in the Philippines to!

Hahahaha.

(Totoo po ang post na ito. Nakita ko si Jollibee sa Zapote kanina.)

New post

Wow. It's been a while since I wrote somthing here. I've been very very busy for the past few days. Hay. Poster exhibit last wednesday, interview at PLM, studying for a goddamn exam in physio. I'm so tired! Thank God I have no classes today... Yifee! I can sleep all day and nothing to worry about. Hay.... So ano, uumpisahan ko na ba ang worry-free Friday ko?? Maya na.. Hehe. I wanna write some things pa before I go to sleep. :D

First off, I love my blockmates!!! Thanks everyone for accepting me as your kapamilya for four years. Hay. Even if were gonna go on with our separate ways after april, I hope we'll remain as good friends. Sabi nga ni Dax: "Nobody gets left behind" dapat. Love you guys! Block three the best pa rin!

Uhm.. Un muna. Nawala bigla yung momentum. :D Maya na lang yung medyo sensible na post, ayt?? :D

Nervous

I'm scared.

Eep! I'm taking MCATs tomorrow.

Eeeep!

Hayz.

Do you believe in destiny?

I mean do you think things happen for a reason?

Well I do.

Last night, my friend April called my mom to inform/remind her that the MCATs are scheduled this Sunday. My mom was surprised because I never mentioned to her that I passed the initial screening for PLM. Actually, the reason why I didn't tell her because I also didn't know if I passed or what. It's like this: PLM will text you or not if you passed their initial screening. But as of yesterday, I haven't received anything, so I thought: "Shit, wala ng pag-asa dito sa PLM..." and I gave up (I erased PLM from my short-term memory). But lo and behold, when my mom called PLM this morning to ask if I qualified or what, they told her that I am qualified to take the MCATs this Sunday. And... the deadline to submit the application form and to pay the testing fee was only until this afternoon. They also told my mom that they texted me. WTF??!! So I immediately took a bath (of course I wore my clothes) and rushed to PLM to process every goddamn requirement. Hay. Thank God I have my mom to support me! Plus, her optimistic outlook balances my cynic and negative vibes. Hay. Thanks mama san for helping me!!

Hay. And this wasn't the first time that this happened to me. When I was in 4th year high school, I thought I had no chance of getting in UP. For you see, my UPCAT grade made the cut-off but alas, there was no more slot for the course I chose. I was already enrolled in DLSU-Dasma (Human Biology) and had filled up my class cards. But my mom adviced me to file an appeal to reconsider in UP because I told her that my friend Lara (who passed the UPCAT) adviced me to reapply because my UPCAT grade was qualified. Hay. So I rushed to UP Manila (promdi pa ako nun, first time kong pumunta, so imagine the look on my face when I first set foot in Padre Faura) and filed an appeal (turns out deadline na din nun ng submission for appeals charva). Cum March, I went back there to discover that my name was included in the reconsidered applicants. Waw. Everyone was so happy for me when I told them the good news. (Ngayon, I wasn't sure if God made the right decision... Just kidding! I love UP!)

So see the commonality between the two events in my life? Number 1. I was cynical. I doubted my abilities. 2. My mom pushed me to try try try! 3. A friend who gave hope to my mom. I don't know if the outcome will be the same this time round.

Well. I have my fingers crossed.

God works in mysterious ways.

This post is dedicated for my mom. Who always believed in me.
To my friends (April and Lara). Without you guys, walang hope for my mom.

And of course, to God. (Daym! Lord labyu so much! You always know what's best for your flock!!!)

Wee!

Oh well. Back to reality. I have to finish the "final lay-out" of our thesis poster.
Plus I need to study for MCAT. Duh? I can't really on fate and destiny alone. :)

Nasa tao ang gawa, nasa Diyos ang awa! :D

hay.

Pray ulit tayo mga friends. May bago ulit landslide. Sa Leyte naman ito. Gusto mo malaman ang detalye?? Click this --> Mudslide Hay. So sad.

Eep!

War ba ito??

Haha..!

I am so fulfilled!

Ang ganda ng kinalabasan ng poster lay-out para sa thesis namin! Woo! Papaprint lang ako sa labas! Mwah! Hugs! Abi = Very very very satisfied.

Valentine's Day...

No. I am not bitter this season of Love.

In fact, I wore something special to school today. I wore my long sleeve wrap around. Yaks! Formal-formalan ang drama! Hehe. I wore something special not because I have a date or something. I just feel like wearing something different to school. So how's Valentines day 2006 for abi? Well, as usual I don't have a boyfriend or a date. But I don't mind.. Really. As what I've said before, I don't have to act so gurly gurly or be romantic to somebody. Besides, this year I plan to celebrate every occassion with my family. My mom picked me up in UP at around 1:30 pm. I planned to buy her flowers and curly tops but alas, my mom wrecked my plan by showing up earlier than expected. Hay. Then we went to Makati Med because my mom needed to visit her ob-gyne doctor (Dra. Manahan). I saw Monsour del Rosario (no, not the dj monsourbetero) (the taekwondo jin cum artist who was previously linked to Agot Isidro) with her pregnant wife. My mom whispered this to me when I told her that the tall guy in red was Monsour: "Ah. Kaya pala parang familiar ang mukha niya. Mag-paautograph kaya ako?" (pause) "Ay wag na lang. Hindi na pala siya sikat." (another pause) "Hindi maganda yung asawa niya. Mas maganda pa si Agot." Ah. My mom. Mega shubiz. Puwede ng pumalit kay Kris sa The Buzz. Hehe. Ayun. Then we went to SSS - Makati (I don't exactly know why we went there! Sorry!). After that we went to Landmark to shop for our Valentines dinner. Hehe. So after buying all the stuff we needed we went home. Oops, I'm not finished yet. :)

So we immediately prepared everything for our Valentines shindig. Ima gonna skip the details and i'll jump to the dinner itself. Ayun. Our menu:

MENU

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce served with Garlic Batard

Fruits in season/Chocolate covered doughnuts with sprinkle

Orange Juice

So ayun lang. That's the best thing we could come up. I arranged the table and we dined ala al fresco (meaning kumain kami sa labas, well not technically dahil sa terrace lang yun). My mom was so happy and quite amazed. She didn't expect that I could come up with invitations, menu, Music CD (mushy) and the venue with such limited time! Well. Iba ang anak niya. Wondergirl. So. If anyone's interested in hiring me to organize an event or a date, just leave a message on my tagboard, I'd be willing to help (basta libre ang kain ko). I just want my family to feel that they're special. Especially my mom. I know she's very sad because my dad's not here (lagi naman e) and I do feel that she thinks that she's unloved. I hope I made her happy (I gave her chocolates pa naman). Ayun. I'm kinda pissed off because my plan of giving them a free show (movie) back-fired. I bought a pirated copy of Amityville and it didn't play on our DVD! Hay! Next time, don't buy pirated copies! Hay! Sayang ang pera. Plus I can definitely tell that my cousin is very much disappointed. Hay. :((

So much for faulty pirated DVDs. Ayun. That's how I celebrated my Valentine's day this year. Hehe. No cheesy or mushy mushy lines said. No flowers. No boyfriend. But I'm ok. In fact, I'm better than ok. I'm super fine. :) So to everyone out there in cyberspace: "Happy valentines day!! Hugs!"

Post muna ng picture (yak. vain.)



Har-har. This was after I drank to much free Baileys in Landmark. Take it off! Take it off! Ayan! Naka-sleeveless na lang!



Peek-a-boo, I see you! Ganda ko! Hahaha. Feeling. Potah. Hahahaha. I took this pic yesterday when we were cruising along UP Diliman. :D

Ahuh.

Nobody likes a kiss and tell guy.

Another muta encrusted morning

Hay.
Wasted.

Shit!

I'm overdue for a decent haircut and hot-oil.
Hay. Matapos lang itong thesis na ito.
Tangina.
To the salon! To the facial center!!!!

Orrible.
V. orrible.

Hay.
Abi = VERY STRESSED.
Abi = Daydreaming.

HAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!

Sana matapos na yung thesis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love in a scientist's POV

I got this from my e-groups. Dahil busy ako, eto na yung love post ko for the year. Haha. Enjoy!

1. PASSION or LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT is triggered by an insanely high amount of DOPAMINE which is in turn induced by an attraction to someone extraordinary to our taste.
2. Passion FADES because our brain can not sustain the intense nerve activity triggered by DOPAMINE. Nerve cells are desensitized and LONG TERM DEPRESSION occurs.
3. For those who manage to overcome dopamine, OXYTOCIN takes place. Its relaxing effects are a reason why in most couples celebrating their golden anniversaries...oxytocin levels are high.
4. The secret to maintaining oxytocin levels is having CONSTANT SEX.
5. People madly in love are deficient in SEROTONIN. Thus, taking ANTI-DEPRESSANTS which balance serotonin levels makes you FALL OUT OF LOVE.
6. We love only to fine someone IDEAL to produce ideal offspring that will survive with the highest probability.
7. LOVE is but a mere balance of these three hormones.
8. The "MAGIC" we experience in love is induced by our inner chemicals and they do a great job in making us high!
9. So it really is true that when people are in love...they have "GOOD CHEMISTRY"
10. We are puppets of our own hormones...when all the while we were too busy thinking that we have to believe in magic..
P.S.
DOPAMINE is so potent that high amounts of it will trigger our minds and bodies to do things we are not usually capable of doing...(maybe the main culprit as to why we'd do anything for the ones we truly love)

Hay.

I wish we finish our thesis already.
So I can be reunited with my bed once more.

:'(

Hay.

Para sa iyo

Oo. Para sa iyo ito. Isa kang malaking panget na tao. As in.
Galit si abi ngayon.
Punyeta.

Hay.

Before anything else, I'm asking you guys to include in your prayers the victims of the stampede yesterday at ULTRA. These people don't deseve to die. As what I've said last night to my friend Charmaine, these people were driven by poverty. This event mirrors how many poor and less fortunate people are living in our country. For a measly 2 thousand pesos, these people risked their lives. It's so sad. Ala na ba talagang hope for us Filipinos? Hay...

Sakay sila ng isang motorboat at tumigil sa isang isla (gawa sa coral reef) na may bahay (na pag-mamay-ari ni Mang Edgar). Agad silang lumusong at nag-umpisang kumuha ng mga sample. Matagumpay nilang napuno ang "cooler" ng mga maburak at dugyot na specimen ng Gracilaria salicornia.

**Kumain sila pagkatapos sa isang carinderia na pag-mamayari din ni Mang Max (ang butihing tricycle driver na tumulong sa amin). Ang ulam: 2 order ng ginayat-gayat na inihaw na baboy at 2 order ng ginataang puso ng saging na nilahukan ng sayote at alimasag.

And this has been Abi Ruidera, your Lonely Planet correspondent.

Lao Tzu once said: "A good traveller has no fixed plan and is not intent on arriving."
So that makes me and my partner in crime Ralph, good travelers.
