haaayy.. sorry if there had been no updates ha.. ala pa rin kuryente eh. hehe.
I therefore proclaim my site to be on HIATUS.
Don't worry, I had put into writing my thoughts. It will be required for you to read quite long entries soon. Take care, my visitors and friends.
disconnected
no posts for the past few days, guess why.
been too lazy to post anything?
no.
too busy?
nah.
no story to share?
definitely not.
here's why?
thursday night, nagkagulo kasi may pumutok na linya ng kuryente sa labas. muntik pa daw magkasunog. after some inquiries made, napag-alaman namin na sa aming neighborhood pala ang pumutok na yon.. dahil sa mga jumpers.
dahil sa mga jumpers na ito, pang-apat na araw na namin ngayon na walang kuryente. sobrang nakakabwisit talaga. ngayon nga ay nasa isang computer cafe ako, dito inilalabas ang apat na araw na itinago na mga thoughts. kailangan ko pa tuloy gumastos.
dahil sa mga jumpers na ito, maraming naperwisyo. hindi makaplantsa ang mga dapat pumasok sa trabaho at school. walang makapanood ng pinoy big brother. hindi makatulog ang mga tao sa gabi dahil walang eletric fan, mainit at maraming lamok. hindi ako makapag-basa at makapag-sulat sa gabi, ang tanging hilig kong gawin sa gabi. walang radyo, i miss music so much.
ayaw pang ikabit muli ang aming linya at kailangan pa naming hintayin ang meralco inspector dahil nga baka mangyari ulet ang muntikang pagkasunog...
dahil sa mga jumpers.
nakakalungkot kasi nagkaalaman kung sino ang mga nakakabit at nagkakabit ng mga jumpers na yon. nakakalungkot kasi kakilala namin sila, nginingitian kapag nasasalubong sa daan. tao naming pinapatunguhan pero ilang taon na pala kaming pinagtatawanan kapag kami ay nakatalikod na dahil para bang napakadali naming lokohin at nakawan.
ang sa akin naman, wag kang gumamit ng serbisyong hindi mo kaya o ayaw mong bayaran. kami ang nagbabayad nang matino. pinagpapawisan ang perang ibinabayad at hindi pinupulot. kaya sana naman...
tigilan na ang panloloko ng tao.

nothing and nobody...
A friend's current situation inspired me to write this:
"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." -- Denis Waitley
It seems to me that everybody nowadays are putting too much effort to achieve a particular status, a title, for themselves. It's all about being somebody in this world, right? but what if in your quest in becoming a somebody, you've become a nobody?
Trying hard to become somebody is not bad, instead, it is that driving force that could lead to success. But, in the first place, was it just success you are wanting all along, or was it really the happiness and the feeling of contentment that success had promised to bring that you are actually longing for?
For me, no one is nothing or worth nothing unless he had given up on himself. He is nothing when he chose to stop moving even if he can still crawl his way up to where planned to get to. He is nothing in my eyes if he decided to to give in while the people around him are still there, wanting and warranting him to go on. Once you lose faith, hope and courage, that's the time everybody can call you a loser, purposeless, unneeded -- a real nobody. Remember, even a stinking piece of shit can be turned into fertilizer. Don't you ever think that a stinking piece of shit is better than you. To defy the impossible is something. Not to lose hope is something. You see, it's only going through the low times and being able to get rise from it that you can be somebody.
I know a lot of people who feel that they're never capable of doing mistakes that could result to failures. These are delusional people... people who, in reality, are seen as nothing in the eyes of many. Success, they have it, but they are living miserable lives. Believe me, whenever alone, they cry tears that you never have to cry out. Lies and pretensions are their stairs used to reach the lonely top, their prize, abysmal insecurity. For them, the sole end is getting there fast when in fact, it's all about learning things while getting there. Success does not require only time to be attained, it needs the development of the right kind of attitude towards life as well. It's the bigger and more essential factor. Experience teaches us the ways and means which are effective and which are not. Failure is part of experience. You've just found out ineffective ways of doing things, now the duty is to discover the effective ones! No one on earth other than you holds the key. It was long given to you as a gift by Him, so don't disappoint Him by giving up the hunt for your treasure.
If you can't do the job alone, seek help from those who matters to you the most. They may not be able to give you much of their time, but I assure you, you will inspired to work hard knowing that they exist. You will be fuelled with an energy so positive that another failure won't matter anymore.
If you believe in yourself, people will believe in you. For those who do not, it's time to show they will eventually have to.

to be speechless in the speech class...
[ speechless... ]
Promise! I know the words! I've practiced my speech, every damn word in it... but then, yeah, I suddenly forgot them.. yes, I forgot my speech. All the words that had come out of my heart, that flowed through the ink of my HBW pen, which is at 5 peso apiece. I felt so fuckd up at that moment! I wanted to do an impromptu instead coz my prof was not holding the copy of my speech anyway, but no, I stopped and looked for the words then continued til I found myself doing graver mistakes. I was so disappointed with what I've done.. I have this stage fright that I need to fight but I think it is not that easy and won't be that easy. I felt defeated at that point of my life. That speech was our final examination.. haaayy.
So I guess I don't have the right to question whatever will be my final grade in my speech 2 eh? well at least, that wasn't a major subject. not so bad...
[ unprepared... so what? ]
Finals exams, I was not prepared to face them.. tinatamad kasi akong mag-review. emotional reasons.. ayoko na lang sabihin. walang rebyu-rebyu! just bring it on! haha! I already know the result of my finals sa techwrite, I got 44 out of 50! gawd! I didn't review in that subject no.. and I didn't cheat (coz I couldn't!! ang layo nila! wahhh!!) A miracle? may mga bagay pala talagang nadadaan sa panalangin.
Thank you God. salamat sa di pagpapabaya sa akin. pasensya na, but that text message was really heart shattering... not very timely, kung kailan kailangan ko ng inspirasyon. but yea, I've already prepared myself for next week. at the end of sembreak, it says. ok, at the end of sembreak....
so be it.

going the right way...
[ going the right way... ]
last tuesday, after having been able to watch the game 2 of UAAP finals, wherein we, the FEU tamaraws have emerged as victorious, we dined at chowking and hurriedly went to the cubao-araneta mrt station so that ate kim won't be late for work.
so we got our tickets na.. there were two escalators going up to where the trins will stop by. we took the first and as we reached the top end, the train was already preparing to leave, and in a few seconds it's already leaving. the damn train left us.
we thought we're minalas.
thank God ate kim noticed that we were at the wrong side of the station and if we've been able to get to that train, we'll probably be going farther from where we intend to go to.
I just realized that there was a lesson in it. kung masyado lang tayong nagmamadali, maaaring mabilis nga tayong makakasakay, pero di ba ang mahalaga e yung pupuntahan natin? in life, it's all about going the right way.
[ not so bad, not so bad... ]
friday night, after going through the toxicating exams given by reyes and manlapaz, we watched Cueshe performed at the hmm.. the big stage at FEU (i really don't know the name given to it)... it was raining hard but I guess just hearing the song "stay" will make you forget that you're already soaking wet. well anyweiz, after the short concert given for free by the school administration in celebration of our being the champion in the UAAP,nagpasiklab si kuya Mark sa Jolibee. this time, kasama si doms. we talked about a lot of things and after realizing that the rain won't subside, we knew that it's really time to go home and we had to go home, to prepare ourselves to the second and final batch of our examinations on the next day.
wow, baha na ang espana ( na naman ) at syempre, basa na ko. buti na lang hinatid kami ni dave sa may sakayan hanggang lawton (for free) at doon na lamang ako bumaba at naghintay ng sasakyan. basang-basa na talaga ako. i suddenly felt everything was messed up and all the things that will come my way will just be all a mess.. biglang na-depress.. haha! nakakalungkot kasi! good thing is, sa FX may radio, and the song being played was "thank you" by Dido. Tamang-tama, nasa linya na ng:
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad
yeah, kung iisipin naman talaga it's really not that bad.. kasi the worse is yet to come...

finals coming.. uh-oh! haven't reviewed any thing yet! haha! I keep on reminding myself the things that needed to be done but it seems like I'm not bothered by the enormous pile of workload ahead. Instead of thinking of things related to my studies, my mind is being pre-occupied with thoughts about people.
[ liars. hypocrites. ]
at ate kim's birthday party, after singing their hearts out while at the same time, disturbing other people's sleep, my classmates at P1 have decided to play a game of truth or dare. I wasn't really there when the game had started, because I was inside the house, trying to lose myself to dreamland, but couldn't, so I've just decided to join in the fun instead of be alone and do nothing.
They asked questions like, "who among our classmates you can't really get along well?" etc. Some were asked about their real sexual preferences, and I was really pissed off by those people who have the nerve to lie about their real selves. Oh, yeah, I was also asked with the same question and I believe I've answered quite truthfully. Yes, I have to admit something because in the first place, it was something I do not intend to hide. But how about the others? How long are they planning to keep their dirty little secrets? I've just heard even the closest to them don't even know who and what they really are. Where do they get that face so hard and thick? One of the most hateable things on earth is hypocrisy and lie put together... it's just hands down too shameful.
Believe me when I say, "it takes one to know one".
Well anyweiz, I've really enjoyed ate kim's birthday celeb (maybe except for the part where we were scolded by her tita because of someone blabbering about the bible.. hehe) Well, I guess she enjoyed the party more because of the presence of someone.. hehe.. right ate kim?
[ speeches.. speeches.. ]
damn, my classmates are real good when it comes to speaking! I wish I could have that really profitable skill! Being able to speak with so much confidence... it's just something I can't help but admire about my P1 classmates, probably because it was one skill I just can't possess.
last tuesday's privilege speech on parlprac class went just fine, I adored the speeches of dwight, josh, sarah and especially raizza. raizza's speech was emotional, tears even fell. Her speech is about the friendship in P1 that needs a strong glue to hold and bind together the people that belonged to that group. Her speech made me happy, but I am surely not satisfied, because her speech referred only to the obvious war that involves dwight and joma. I mean, how about the little cold wars that involve the whole class? That is just something I can't understand. There's something wrong also with the rest of the class, not just dwight and joma. The "grupo-grupo" na may "konting hinanakit sa isa't isa" also counts! How long before they will take it into consideration? haayy... peeps, you need to unite, but not with just the people you have chosen to be your friends, but also with the people who are there, part of the P1 class...
well, just trying to voice out a bit of opinion based from observation.

Don't Grow Old
===============
Many people are afraid of growing old.
I'm afraid of growing old and boring.
Many people are afraid of growing old, alone.
I'm afraid of growing old, insane.
Many people are afraid of losing their looks.
I'm afraid of losing my dreams.
Many people are afraid of losing their youth.
I'm afraid of losing my soul.
When you're 15, 35 seems ancient.
When you're 35, 15 seems juvenile.
A turnaround in a split second - two decades zoom past and
before you know it, it's only a mile to the next millennium.
Don't fear age,
it's a right of person-hood.
Don't fear death- it's God's greatest jest.
Don't grow old - you don't have to.
Don't date because you're desperate.
Don't marry because you're miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't separate because you think it's fashionable.
Don't drink because you have troubles.
Don't gamble because you think winning is inevitable.
Don't philander because you think you're irresistible.
Most likely, you're not.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat.
Don't lie.
Don't pretend.
Don't try to buy your way into the kingdom of God.
Don't dictate because you're smarter.
Don't demand because you're stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you're old enough and know
better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family or your ideals.
Don't stagnate.
Don't regress.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Don't live in the past.
Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw you life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking and you can't afford to have your
eggs harvested before the new millennium.
There's always a mad rush to something, somewhere - but victory
does not always belong to those who finish first.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid
for some of life's more hasty decisions.
You can't always go with the throng who could be wrong.
Sometimes, you have to be alone to be enlightened.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong
reasons.
To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket.
In the long run, it will be less complicated and less costly.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of
what you can be.
Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits
and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities, but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your
family.
Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you're not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Fall in love - it's the greatest thing on earth.
But take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you must even at society's scorn.
Write poetry. Love deeply. Walk barefoot. Hold hands.
Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except you.
It is true that life doesn't get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid.
Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old.
Just grow up.

Don't fear death- it's God's greatest jest.
Don't grow old - you don't have to.
Don't date because you're desperate.
Don't marry because you're miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't separate because you think it's fashionable.
Don't drink because you have troubles.
Don't gamble because you think winning is inevitable.
Don't philander because you think you're irresistible.
Most likely, you're not.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat.
Don't lie.
Don't pretend.
Don't try to buy your way into the kingdom of God.
Don't dictate because you're smarter.
Don't demand because you're stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you're old enough and know
better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family or your ideals.
Don't stagnate.
Don't regress.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Don't live in the past.
Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw you life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking and you can't afford to have your
eggs harvested before the new millennium.
There's always a mad rush to something, somewhere - but victory
does not always belong to those who finish first.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid
for some of life's more hasty decisions.
You can't always go with the throng who could be wrong.
Sometimes, you have to be alone to be enlightened.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong
reasons.
To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket.
In the long run, it will be less complicated and less costly.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of
what you can be.
Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits
and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities, but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your
family.
Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you're not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Fall in love - it's the greatest thing on earth.
But take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you must even at society's scorn.
Write poetry. Love deeply. Walk barefoot. Hold hands.
Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except you.
It is true that life doesn't get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid.
Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old.
Just grow up.

nightmares in dreams and real life...
I've dreamt of something really crazy last night. For me it's kind of scary although it doesn't really involved creepy creatures or deaths. Scary and funny at the same time. I've dreamt of someone. The person I've dreamt about is someone that I had a crush on in the past. The setting is we're eating together at a fine restaurant and we had this kind of conversation:
me: you know what? I really didn't like you. I was just so wrong when I told you that I like you...
excrush: you liked me. it was me who really didn't like you..
I suddenly grabbed the neck of that person and said angrily, "No I didn't."
then I laughed when I finally let go of the neck after I saw that person choking.
Then after we finish our food, we stood and we walked away from the restaurant still together. While we're walking and heading somewhere else, I suddenly hold that person's arms so tightly as if I enjoyed seeing that person in pain. And then I laughed again.
Sadista eh noh? oh my, the madman in me...
