2008

Ang bilis ng panahon. 2008 na!

Ang gulogulo sa Pakistan. Patayan sila ng patayan. Pinatay nila si Benazir Bhutto... tsk tsk.... hrmmm, ang pangit ng kabaong nya. ganun ba talaga, kahon lang?

:(

Akala ako makaka-pag- capping ako ngayung sem na 'to. Kasama na nga ako sa mga rehearsals, yun pala baka next year... huhuhu... nakakalungkot. mamaya kakausapin ako ni dean alpay... :(

tsssk.... ang luwag ng sched ko this sem. parang hindi ako sanay... ayoko naman magreklamo kasi next sem sobrang magiging busy na ako. sana kasi take-all-the-subjects you want dito sa CDH.... sana ni-credit nalang nila yung mga values ko.. pareho lang naman yun ng mga theology... hrmmm mejo iba pero same naman ang concept.

ang tagal narin ng blog nato! grabe. imagine noong 2004 pa. e pano kaya kung hindi nabura yung blog-city ko, relic na yung mga mga nasulat kong yun? hahaha.. pano ang naka-inspire saakin na magsulat noon ay si chinito_pogito... wala narin shang blog ngayun dahil mashado nang laganap ang pagbblog... jologs na kung baga... pero para saakin depende parin naman... ang mga taong nagbblog sa friendster o sa multiply lang naman ang natuturingang jologs.. hehe,, no offense sa mga tao may friendster at multiply dahil ako meron ding mga accts na ganun... tho minsan lang ako magsulat ngayun.... sa totoo lang nagbblog parin naman ako pero hindi na mashado online... mas madalas na sa papel... old style.
anywei, nagpapasalamat din naman ako sa mga online networking dahil sa pamamagitan nito ay nakakasagap parin ako ng mga balita mula sa outside world... lalo na ngayun wala akong social life.... kanina nga, nakita ko ang profile ni tristan bael sa friendster... hommies na sha ngayun... iba talaga pag nagiging laking america ang mga tao.... kaklase ko sha nung elementary, 3rd grade yata... then nagtungo sha sa australia (?) . then back to the phils at naging classmate sa sci-tech... matangkad ang gwapo noon. hindi naman mashado nagbago ang mukha nya. at ganun parin ang ichura ng kanyang kuko sa daliri.. ganun parin pero mas nagmature nga lang. meron narin shang kasintahan ngayun... haha.. natatandaan ko noong mga panahong pinagpapantashahan no mex yung lalaking yun. hihihi... ngayun very american na ang aura nya.... napapansin ko, si biboy, malapit narin maging ganun! very western...

hrmmm... naisip ko lang... pag may mga klasmate kaya ako na makita ang profile ko, hindi kaya magbabago ang impression nila sakin? hindi naman ang ang pinakasikat sa klase... ang loser nga ng dating ko nun e... batang bato na walang pakialam sa mundo... pero shempre, habang dumadaan ang panahon, mas nagkakaroon ka ng muwang sa mundong pumapaligid sayu, at binagago ka nito... hinuhubog... ganun ang nangyari saakin... hrmmm.... napapaisip lang... minsan gusto ko sila makita ulit... mga kaklase ko noon.... gusto ko rin makasalamuha at kamustahin ang 'not so popular' kids noon... balita ko nga successful na sila ngayun, katulad ni van... biruin mo nga naman, ngayun, accountant na sha sa isang bangko...(nabalitaan ko kay kuya nino na schoolmate ko pala ngayun sa cdh)... si kuya nino, matatapos na sa kurso nya... magiging nurse na sha at mangignibang bansa narin... nakakatuwa rin. :) gusto ko malaman ang storya nilang lahat!

at sha nga pala, sila emem, ang bestfriend ko nung hs, nakatira na sa magandang bahay ngayun! parang ayala alabang.. ang daming nagbago! daming nagimprove sa buhay ng mga tao. si cel, happy na sa pamilya nya. si vernon, asa singapore at nagaaral, at si lala, may boypren na! oha!

may ni reresearch pa akong isang naging classmate, pero wala, hindi ko makita.

calambeno

i live in calamba, laguna, where the great jose rizal once lived. i love it here. no pollution, there's fresh air, a lot of trees... but for some reason, i dont seem to get along with people in laguna... i dont know why!

number 0480 B

election day.

i wore my yellow vigan shirt and my blue board shorts today. i brought my house keys, my voter's id, and the list of people who i shall be voting... my sister and i then drove off to the school where it will take place.

crowded, the street was! but it was not that stressful...

what stresses me out is that i lost my voter's id! i feel soo bad earlier. i should've looked for it. :( i didnt realize my pocket has a hole in it. darn.

tsk,.

EVAN ALMIGHTY'S WAPAK!

Wow! nagbblog nanaman ako... kelangan lang ng drainage ng overflowing random thoughts. kulang na kasi sa social life. hahaha. anywei... nakapanood ako ng Evan Almighty at totoo.... hindi binibigay saatin ang lahat ng gusto natin pero binibigyan tayo ng oportunidad na makuha o makamit ang gusto natin.

isang araw... 3 years ago (more or less)... may naiisip akong tao... ang pangalan nya ay joseph olivar.... si joseph olivar na naging kaklase ko sa christian school international nuong 1st and 2nd quarter ng highschool... mukhang mabait at talentado din. (maypagka autistic, dahil madalas shang pumunta sa isang sulok para mag guitara).. ang da best pa don, mukhang hindi nya napansin ang kadiring mga allergy ko noon... simpleng 'hi' 'hello', nakatutuwang pakinggan mula sa kanya.

...3 years ago... parang mantra kong sinasabi sa sarili na gusto ko shang makita ulit... HAPON... sa tapat ng starbuck 6750, nakakita ako ng isang lalaki na may mahabang, kulot na buhok... sabi ng utak ko,'KAMUKHA NYA!!!... baka SHA NGA YUN!!!'

=sigh= ito ang mga pagkakataong tinukoy ko kanina.... kung sinabi kong, 'joseph???' or.. 'do i know you from somewhere?'.. edi sana nagkatutuo na sana ang munting hiling ko... sayang ang oportunidad...

ngayun, minamantrahan ko ulit.

sheesh... eto pa...

nung banda banda pa kami ng BP nuon, nakakasalamuha namin ang mga mejo sikat... hindi... mga sikat talagang mga banda banda... kasama dito ang rivermaya.... sa mga music festival tulad ng fete delamusique, nakakajamming namin sila.... jologs mang pakinggan pero parang may pagtingin ako sa isang miyembro doon na nagngangalang japs (bahista)... (ng rivermaya a... hindi yung kabanda ko)...kanina lang nabasa ko na may bagong chikiting na vocalist ang rivermaya.... shempre ako naman si research sa internet... ng nakita ako ang friendster at myspace ni japs... sabi ko, 'ay, parang normal na tao pala sha'... di ko naman sinasabi na abnormal sha pero, kung baga, ang impression ko, hindi sha rockstar maniac ... anywei, sana nuong, rockstar pa ako (yak as if) e nakausap ko man lang sha... arrrgh... nakakautal kasi pagkumakausap ka ng idol mo o kahit na sinong sikat na tao.

mahiyain.. torpe... pweh!

nung una ko makita si japs... MTV music tour, sponsored ng pepsi... naka braided pigtails sha... cute cute nya nun... yeehee!

moral lesson: tulad nga ng sabi ni mygz, 'SEIZE THE DAY!'

p.s never akong naging rockstar... well... mejo lang... hindi joke lang.. wink wink.

i should get out

seriously, i've got to get out of this place! sembreak will be over in a week... and here i am, loathing! doing nothing. i should've goe to the beach or something... +sigh+... i just miss the outdoors. :( just like what i always say... 'gusto kong mamundok!'.

ngayun, kasabihan nalang yan.

yikes.

im in a prone position, only my elbows are supporting my upper torso so that i can type... soo, what can i say. im bored to death. yes, i am! you know what i did today? i watched evan almighty (nicely done. very meaningful) and the zodiac (oh, it was indeed a looong movie) in my sister's laptop. i keep my YM open so that i could still get a glimpse of who are online just in case i need someone to talk to. seee.... im really bored...

i have sinned today (actually, it started yesterday)... i bought a small triangualar box of toblerone... the white one. i told my self i'll eat one piece ( 1 triangle) a day... guess what... i ate the whole thing!!! i wish i wont swell too much. it's a darn white chocolate...

i went to school yesterday, took my stuff from joanna, went to the registrar's office, asked something about getting my copy of grades... after that, i didnt know what to do, so i went to the book sale and looked for a cookcook called 'aut bee's mayberry cookbook'. i thought i'd get a copy with a lesser price. then, i thought of texting my good friend, connie. which i did. went at starbucks, chatted and we went around the mall, harrizon plaza. i havent been there for quite a time now...

haha. just want to share of what i did yesterday,,,

i have a tip for those people who would like to get thin... watch tv. forget food exists.... sleep... before you know it, you're as thin as a toothpick.. haha. just an idea.

gotta go for now. i promise, next time i write /type here, ill make sure it's something significant. coz this is not. haha.. :)

signing off.

i normally don't write in blogs that often. but, hey i have the time to do it today. 1st semester is over. after next week, school starts again. i'm kind of nervous coz i don't want to spend my second sem in EAC. that school has too much issues. and i dont feel safe in manila. im still weighing things.... i made some of options where to transfer (either in CDH or UMAK). UMAk has a good reputation re: BSN. they have this program called REGIS for second coursers...the thing is, it's too far away from home and it's complicated to go there. it look overpopulated... i dunno. but if i study there, i dont have to get unnecessary subjects. i can finish the program in 2 years. in CDH, it's quite convinient coz the school is 10 mins away from home. but i have to take some subjects that i think i dont need! i can finish it in 2 1/2 years... so how's that? cant decide! waah!!!

anyway, if indeed, i'll be transferring to another school, then, i will surely miss my good friends in EAC. i will miss eating turon., the 30 peso french fries in a cup, my noisy classmates, the good teachers, the really bad teachers, the maze like corridors,the library, the olympic-sized swimming pool and the smell of kalamares around the area. what i wont be missing are the pollution and the uniform. ok so that's it. haaaay. God please help me decide once and for all.

saya ulit

natututwa talaga ako sa mga sandaling pagsasama namin nila ert at mygz... ngayun nadagdagan pa dahil mukhang madalas ko narin makikita si tin bats! sa makati na kasi sha nagwwork. sa wakas at narealize na rin nya ang kanyang freedom.... teacher parin sha pero koreans na ang tinuturuan nya... si ert, siguro after a year ko pa ulit makikita kasi babalik na ulit sha sa ateneo de naga. si mygz anjan lang sa makati pero baligtag ang oras! at ako naman, walang oras para sa mga gimik dahil magaaral ako buing magdamag.... therefore, hindi rin pala kami magkikitakita! omigosh.. ok... pero, just the same, sa saglit na pagkikitakita namin ay nakakagaan ng loob. kahit sobrang tagal nyong hindi nagtagpo, ganun parin sila... parang kahapon mo lang sila hindi nakita!

happy happy talaga.... si ayi lang ang wala. :( oh well.

mga pusa

ay badtrip, nabura lahat ng sinulat ko tungkol sa mga pusa ko kanina! arrrgh.... anywei. ulitin ko nalang...
natatawa ako kay Shang, yung aggit naming pusa, kasi pinakain ko sha ng oishi na may maraming wasabi... hindi nya na realize na MAaNGHANG pala yun! hahahaha... :) imaginine mo, pusang nakalawit ang pusa. ahahaha... mashado kasi shang matakaw e.. hehe.. pero mukhang nasarapan naman sha.
HAaay, andami na naming naging pusa... may namatay, may lumipat ng amo, at may kain lang ng kain...at may mga malalambing din.. may makukulit...
katulad nitong isang pusa ko na hindi ko nagawang ing obitwaryo... namatay sha early may. sa death bed nya (wala talagang kama, basta doon sa hinihigan nya), meow parin ng meow. ewan kung bakit.... akala nya siguro naiintindihan namin sha.. hindi naman... bait bait ng pusang yun... natutuwa nga don yung mga batang nagtitinda ng pandisal... ika nga nila "tingnan nyo o! ang amo nung pusa!!!"... paano ba naman, san ka makakakita ng ng pusang susundan ka mula bahay hangang sa dulo ng subdivision nyo (btw, malayo din yung dulo ng subd. namin)... natatkot nga ako kasi baka sundan pa nya yung jeep na sasakyan ko pag lumuluwas ako...
haaay... nakakamiss nga naman si kitty.. wala nang maingay sa bahay.. si shang nalang.... wala na akong kasamang maglakad sa kalye... pero ayus lang... alam ko nasa mas magandang lugar na sha, kaya, kitty sangdoo, PAALAM NA SAYU! miss ka na ng mga foot rug sa bahay... at miss ka na namin...

si kitty buong buhay pa

proteins

I have been reading a lot about cells and animal parts and PROTEINS. It's great! i didn't know that proteins are such great substances. they contribute to our body structure, they are our hormones, they contribute in building up our muscles etc etc etc... facinating, isn't it? haha... though it's taking me awhile to understand a lot about the human body, i'm still coping. im going to get used to this eventually.

I still miss the art scene.... especially now that im taking up a more challenging course (for me, that is), i think i wont have time to go around ccp, gigs, art exhibits like what i normally do (bearly when i was working)... saaad... but.. tsk... well.... that's fine.

Wow! Ang sikat ng araw!!!!

wow! pagkatapos ng maraming taon (dalawa lang naman), naramdaman ko rin ang tamis ng haplos ng hangin ng umaga ang ang oyayi ng kadiliman ng gabi.... *bugtong hininga*.... ang sarap matulog sa GABI!

sha nga pala, mga kapatid...

...oo, tumigil muna ako sa pagttrabaho at kasalukuyang nag tutuloy ng pag aaral... nakakapanibago ang buhay studyante! mermorize ulit... reports ulit.... uniform ulit! hirap!

*pweh* uniform! hindi talaga ako mahilig mag uniform, pero.. sige na nga! sinusumpa ko ang uniform namin dahil, kulay puti na nga (dumihin), soooobrang kapal pa ng tela! parang kang binabarbique unti unti...

..hehe... genun pa man... ayus lang! masayang kasi bagong impormasyon nanaman ang nakukuha ko.... bagong kaalaman... parang sa training sa call center din, pero yun nga lang eto, tatlong taon kong kukunin. :)

haaay... namimiss ko na ang matatamis at mapapait na boses ng mga kano.... namimiss ko nang magsabi ng..."thank you for calling, babay"..... pero ganun talaga. naging comfortzone din kasi ang PS e. pero yai na.

mahirap sa umpisa...pero masarap magaral....:)

seems like forever

I haven't immersed myself to arts, music and the usual stuff for such a long time and i miss it terribly. something in me just died.... wapaks! wake up petchai.. don't wallow to nothingness!

I just miss the old gang in people support. My dear batchmates (41).... hrmmph.. This picture was taken on a bus heading to laguna almost 2 years ago. geez... look! we dont look stressed yet in this pic. wait till you see us now. dreadful!

anyway, girlie, frankie and i are the only ones left in PS. JA will be leaving next week and, of course, will be joining another company that pays higher (i guess). good for him.. he'll be leaving the philippines too to join his wife in canada. about frankie, he'll be joining Lan, our supervisor, in a different account. Girlie, i dont know her plans. as for me, hehe, i'll be studying again. hope this will push through. i might take summer classes.... +sighs+...

i feel beaten for some reason. the 10x4 sched is just not working for me. maybe my body has not adjusted completely. i got really dark eyebags now.. as if i just got out from a boxing match.

i'll take pics of us tomorrow. check the difference. i'll try to blog again soon. :)
