emote muna...

got bored yesterday so I've decided to kill some time by signing up at PINOYSTER.com.. and guess what? my boredom got worse! their site is too slow! I don't think it was our PC's fault since by the time I've signed up, no other programs are up and running and I'm not downloading anything and we're not on dial-up anymore. And personally, I won't recommend this site to my friends because I consider the site disorganized - links are scattered, you won't know what to click on to get to the page you're looking for - and yeah, you won't know anything at all if you're just like me who doesn't own enough patience. Stick with friendster... =D

I want to say something to someone, but every freaking time of every freaking day feels like not the right time to say it! Y'know what's the problem? ME! I haven't even started a thing yet I'm already figuring out how will it end. There's so many words piling up on my head, words that might become marketable to NO NAME and NO NAME will eventually buy... but my tongue will just get tied up and my mind gone blank whenever NO NAME is already there, ready to listen.

OK. Since I know for a fact that NO NAME is not visiting my site and not the person who has the time and patience to read a single entry on my blog, I will just put inside a poem all the things I wanted to say to NO NAME all along..

The letter

I wrote a letter for you today,
and I put it in a box.
I covered it with my tears,
then I closed it with a lock.

In this letter I put,
what I need to say.
Things that I hold in,
every single day.

This letter isn't very long,
actually it only contains one phrase.
A phrase that I only speak,
when I mean it in every possible way.

I love you I think,
I'm just too afraid to speak.
I'm afraid of what you'll say,
oh those thoughts make me weak.

This letter I hold it tightly,
and I hide it away from everyone.
The one person that should know of it,
the one that means so much.

I'm too scared to hand it over,
to you the one so dear.
So many chances I have,
but it's your reaction that I fear.

Today I wrote a letter for you,
and I've hidden it away in a box.
The inside is filled with my tears and feelings,
and the outside is closed with a lock.

The key I've hidden away,
in the depth of my heart.
It'll stay hidden away there,
till these fears decide to depart.

When they depart and leave,
this key I'll hand over to you.
That will undo the lock and letter,
that I've held secret this whole time from you.

But till then...
Today I wrote a letter.

nope, I'm NOT the author of this poem.. but it's strange how I managed to get to the webpage where this poem is located.. I'm a member of creative-poems.com and I've clicked on a link where you'll be directed to a random poem and look what I've found? a poem absolutely written for me? hehe.. i wish.. =D

heavy conversation...

3 A.M na.. just got home from Leo's house.. already tired and sleepy, but I guess nothing can stop a blogaholic from posting an entry she wants to read again someday..

Dan's dad dropped us off at Riza's place to offer our condolences to her and her family because the head of the Sangrador family just passed away. I'm not really sure if we're there to mourn with her or cheer her up, but I guess everybody is there to achieve the second goal so we played "Killer, Killer" while munching on some free snacks for the visitors of the dead.

When the rain nearly stopped, we've decided to leave so we bid goodbye to Riza and the rest of her family and we went back to Leo's house to drink a little amount of alcohol and talked about a lot of things.

It was fun! I just LOVE the conversation we had about our ideal partners in the 4A circle and who's the best in this and that category. We also had a deep and serious conversation, talked about some naughty things also. We just had a GREAT time together!

may 27

Last night, nakipag-lamay kami kina Riza, namatay kasi ang kanyang tatay. Konti lang kami dahi ung iba, ngayong gabi na lang daw pupunta.

Condolence to Riza and her Family. May her father rest in peace.

What's with all the hating?

I was really saddened by some reactions made by Bo's fans regarding Carrie winning the title of the new American Idol.. y'know what? You don't know Carrie so stop attacking her and saying nasty things about her. Bo lost but it's definitely not the end for him! He got the talent and the personality to rock the music scene so there's really nothing to be bitter about. I'm a Bo fan myself, but I've got to admit that Carrie really did a good job during the AI finale so congrats to her and congrats to Bo for being the runner up and good luck to both of them.

Get over it. It shud've been Anwar on the first place.

"Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated."
- George Bernard Shaw

I'm Officially Enrolled!

American Idol Goes Country With Carrie!


Sabi sayo Franz eh... si Carrie ang mananalo eh..


Si Bo ang bet kasi namin ni franz.. pero.. ewan ko ba, napabago talaga ni Carrie ang isip kong balimbing.. hehe. Kasi naman! Sobrang ganda talaga nung Angels Brought me here nya! mejo nainis lang ako kasi pumiyok sya bandang huli... hmmm...

[ da promissory note ]

galing akong feu kahapon.. para magbayad ng balance ko nung nakaraang sem. at para subukan na ring magbayad ng kahit dalawang libong downpayment.. pero.. ayun, nag-promi na lang din ako tulad ni doms. sama-sama kaming kumain ng lunch.. sa huling pagkakataon? oo.. P2 na kasi silang lahat.

[ the officially enrolled ]

Enrolled nako!! YESSS!! Ganda ng sched ko! Puro panghapon! Whew! Wala nang 7:30 AM stress!! Kaya lang.... nahiwalay nako sa dati kong block section na ps0322.. naging ps0321 na ko.. kailangan ko kasing gawin yun para maayos ko ung studies ko. hindi ko n tlaga kaya ng pang-umaga, bumabagsak ako dahil insomnyak talaga ko. masaya kaya dun? friendly kaya sila? Will I do good in a class where there's a lot of new faces? hehehe.. nakakatawa naman tong nararamdaman ko.. parang first day ulet ang feeling.. =D

kinakabahan ako sa mga subjects kong "Parliamentary Practice" at "Into to Law" ah! tunog pa lang, nakakatakot na.. e pano pa kaya ung MATH 30P? grabe... math na naman.. ang aking pinakatatakutang subject, amen.

"Let's Do the First Day Funk Nah!!!"

she did it!

I thought it would be BO....


the next American Idol?


but after watching the final performances of Carrie Underwood, as well as that of Bo Bice, I would say that Carrie and her version of Angels Brought me Here impressed me sooo much that I just have to change my prediction about Bo as being the next American Idol...

Bo Bice was good last night but Carrie was at her best! Bo's performances used to bring me chills but last night ones failed to bring me the same kind of feeling.

GRADES?

HA! I already got my grades!! haha! I got one failed subject! Physical Education! and y'know what? I don't care! What I'm raving about is the grade of flat 2 I got in my Comparative Gov. subject! woohoo!! I was really expecting a 3 or a 5 in that subject because I didn't do good on that subject! Imagine, t'was a 7:30 AM class and if not absent, I'm always late in Ms. Gemzon's class!!! I didn't even manage to take up my midterm exam! I'm just sooo thankful to her!!!! Thanks Ma'am!! I promise to do good in Intro to Law if ever you'd be my professor on that subject! that's a promise!

the wreckers...

I'M WANTING THIS ALBUM! But I've just read on an internet article that the release of The Wrecker's album wil be on '06! WTF!?


YUP! the wreckers is made up Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp


Currently, the only single available for public hearing is "The Good Kind", which is included in the soundtrack of the TV series "One Tree Hill"

MABATO PALA SA LAGUNA!

Yep! yesterday, we've been to some kind of an isolated area in laguna (ang layo kasi eh!) kung saan kami nagswimming! wow! sobrang lamig nung tubig!! BRRR... parang galing ref ung tubig! y'know what? hindi sya swimming pool! some kind of batis na ang linaw ng tubig at mejo malalim... parang ang lapit ko sa nature when I was there coz andaming halaman... para talaga syang paradise! hehehe... the name of the place is BATO... hahaha! masyado talaga kasing mabato!

We arrived early there, konti pa lang ung mga tao, and when I saw the swimming area, it's not the kind of water that pasosyal and maarteng tao would dig, so I was expecting that only a few families would be arriving later. But I was wrong! Maraming tao pumunta! Ang saya nga eh.. kaya lang, maaga kaming umuwi kasi ang lamig talaga nung tubig! ako naman, inaantok na kasi hindi pako natutulog kaya maaga rin akong umahon sa tubig...

"wish you were here"

Photos will be made available soon! =D

this entry is untitled.. hehe

andami kong gusto kong ikwento pero ayoko muna... di ko pa kasi alam kung paano ko sisimulan ung mga bagay na gusto kong ikwento.. hehe. pero, ok, para hindi ko makalimutan, I'll remind myself of the things I needed to post here:

I need to submit an entry about:

* the person I like, who is bringing frustrations in my life right now... but it's alright because its the same person who has brought the greatest happiness in my life din naman.. hehe.

I recommend this album! All tracks are crazysexycool! It feels like listening to a more matured Ashanti.. With this album, you can either just sit back and chill out or groove to its sexy rhytmns... just choose. =D Well, I've picked the first option.. lolx.

I visited a lot of websites today, mostly designs/graphics sites.. I was saddened when I found sites containing this kind of message:

I'm sorry but this site has already closed.. blah blah.. because I have no time to update it.. blah blah.. thank you.

I wish I will never get to that point, where I will need to close my site. waaaahh!! I won't be able to take it! I've already spent almost half of my life putting contents, writing personal rants and raves, signing up on different services and uploading everything needed to make this site of mine running!! I love my blogspot!

Ang OA ko naman! Ako pa! Mawawalan ng oras mag-update? e ni hindi na nga ako natutulog eh.. hehe.. basta! Hanggang sa pagtanda ko, may racquelbalao-as.blogspot.com pa rin... I promise! =D <-- [Adik pala ito eh..]

green layout!! yipee!

Wow! New Layout, courtesy of JELENA! Thanks Jelena! This is just what I wanted all along! You made an awesome job making this layout! Thanks again! =D

I knew it! Friday the 13th is not THAT bad! Why? Because a lot of wonderful things happened today! Like... uhmm.. Franz called and we talked on the phone for about an hour or so.. and kuya went to the Pahiyas Festival at Quezon, that means I'd get to use the PC for the whole saturday and sunday.. haha! and what more? uhmm... yeah, this NEW LAYOUT! don't you feel envious of me right now? hahaha! just kidding!

I LOVE THIS DAY - FRIDAY the 13th.

I really LOVE this new layout! The colors are just awesome, don't you think? I wanna thank JELENA again and again and again for this layout she created for me! She is just one hell of a designer! If I already have my own PC, and had already managed to learn more HTML and more Photoshop tricks, I'll return the favor by submitting layouts in her site... that's a promise.. but for now, all I can do is to be thankful for what she had done for me...

anthony: out of AI4

Anthony Fedorov: out of AI4..



Goodbye!

a) Bo Bice VS. Carrie Underwood

c) Bo Bice VS. Vonzell Solomon

Take your pick! =D

miss ko na mga tao - classmates, friends.. ay kahit pala hindi tao.. schooling, mag-commute... haaay.. sana matapos na ang bakasyon.. pero sana bago matapos ung bakasyon, may something memorable na mangyari.. ay meron na pala... ;)

sana magawa na yung pinagawa kong layout... I'm craving for a new site layout! wahaha! =D

Summer Rain



it rained last night... hehe.. i should know, because
my favorite pillow is kind of wet.. but how did that
happen? Before I even decided to lose myself to
dreamland, I made sure that the windows are closed
so that tomorrow's rays of sun will not hurt my tired
and still sleepy eyes.

Even though it felt like being in hell because my room
is kinda stuffy and the only weapon available to fight
the annoying summer heat is the electric fan, and I
can feel the warm substance produced by sweat
glands all over my body, I will still insist that it rained
last night!

Did it really rain last night? I opened my eyes this
morning, only to see a proof that I was wrong..

because beside me lying, a photo of YOU, bringing
me a sad realization:

It didn't rain last night.

I just cried.

3AM poem

3am.. ho-hum.. I'm sure my brother will be home soon so I'm posting my MAY 2 entry now.. oh look.. it's just a poem, read on:

3 A.M flashbacks



questions with clear answers
but concealed from your heart
covered by sheets called friendship
even though it felt more than that

your arms, they brought a peculiar warmth
but you are in chains, locked up
afraid to reveal the different color you have
keys buried within the soils of self denial

patience melting away like a lighted candle
path which you are willing to take still left unchosen
to be happy or to be right? two life's choices.
tick-tocks munching away moments which shud've been ours

now, the fire - your light - was already put out
the flame you wished to keep burning with unconditional love
I am the path you did not plan to take from the start; now an option
but aren't meant to be's are still arent' meant to be's

flip the page now, I'm just another chapter

ABOUT the POEM:

frustrated music lover

I have so much passion for music. I can afford to be late for school just to finish a good song on air. I've been wishing for soo long now that sana, God will give me the time and money (ok! money alone! never mind the time, I can work that out! hehe) to learn how to play a musical intrument.

fiesta. creepwalk. religion.

my 6 yr. old cuzin rocked in the creepwalk and harlem dance contest last night! woohoo! of course, his group lost but then it was a wonderful event for him, having to step up on a stage to groove to the sound of snoop dogg... i hope so. haha! today is our baranggay fiesta.. ha! i think we're the only household in this baranggay who are not willing to spend money para maghanda... hehe.. hindi kasi namin naka-ugalian eh. speaking of fiesta, kung meron man kaming handa at pwede akong mang-imbita sa bahay, may mga friends din akong hindi pala pwedeng sumama.. sina dan and franz, being a member of Iglesia ni Cristo...

I already mentioned this to Franz, that I'm proud of her, as well as for the other people who are just like her, who are willing to sacrifice or surrender their personal rights/freedom for their religion. I just can't see myself doing that kind of thing at my age.. ako pa! e pasaway ako... nakakainis lang minsan, kasi naiisip ko na pag ginawa ko yun, parang I'm already a property of some organization na may mga set of rules na naaayon daw sa utos ng Diyos pero hindi naman naaayon sa nilalaman ng puso ko.

Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize religious orgs, sects or kahit anong grupo... pero I consider myself as a person with no religion. Pero that doesn't mean na I'm an atheist or worse, a satanist. I really believe in God. I believe that by living the life that He had given me, touching other people's lives just by being myself, I'm already knowing him little by little. I don't go to churches but my heart seems to bring me to a place closer to God just by praying. I'm not a religious person, I admit that, but I'm a spiritual person... that's the best thing I can do for GOD to make HIM happy. I just hope that won't fail.

Wag nyo nakong gayahin, malay nyo that won't really satisfy the real God, di ba? pero as much as I know Him, hindi sya ganon.

God Bless YOU.
