My mama arrived today from Saudi, so our house was jampacked with people, mostly relatives, who were more interested with the pasalubongs rather than with the actual presence of their balikbayan family member. I received new shoes... and a chicken siopao.. haha! and clothes. I just found out that my mom is a fanatic of channel 2's Search for a Star singing contest.. wala lang, I just wanted to share.
birthday nga rin pala ni Vida ngaun! Happy Birthday Vida!
Anyweiz, I have only 3 things to do for the finals, namely read, write and memorize. But I think I don't have sufficient time to do these 3 things, mainly because what I'll be reading includes, uhmm, wait, 2 chapters of a book, 4 chapters of another book, the revised penal code and countless photocopied reading materials; what I'll be writing includes summaries of all what I've read (not just for review purposes, for I need to pass 'em all), my research proposal (I don't know if I'd still be including Cid as a group member because obviously it was I who is doing ALL the necessary work) and my privilege speech; what I'll be memorizing includes a speech for my speech class, the privilege speech for my parlprac class and all the notes jotted down for my written exams on major subjects. haaayy... iniisip ko pa lang, napapagod nako.
[birthdays of 4A's]
Medyo nagtatampo ako ngayon sa 4A.. wala kasing nagpaparamdam, knowing that September has a lot of birthday celebrants. It's not about the foods and the inuman, it's about the togetherness and the kwentuhan pag nagkasama-sama na. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I didn't hesitate to agree to my mom's proposal of not to celebrate anymore my birthday by throwing a party but simply let it pass and go to my cousin's fiesta celeb and my nephew's christening on the next day, October 2. I'm sorry guys, I'm really sorry but I think the bond is getting weaker. I hated to say that, but I think college life had either made others forgetful or it offered them a happier moments and memories than that of our highscool life, so maybe, in their minds, why bother to go back? and it's really saddening because I was one of those who are trying to call people who are just not there anymore. Truthfully, this post is miles away from being negative, although it may sound like one. So busy with studies? I can't help but smile bitterly when I remember those letters containing these words: "just call me and I'll be there...".. those words are now already lost in oblivion.
That was dramatic. Oh, I'm such a drama queen. Where's my tiara?
Political Science 2005 General Assembly
After depriving myself a great deal of sleeping hours yesterday and exposing myself to the cold rain, I didn't feel well when I woke up this morning. My head and body are aching like hell. To sum up in 3 words, I am sick. But I knew I couldn't afford to miss this year's Political Science General Assembly and the mock job interview on my TechWrite class, so I gathered myself up at about 12 noon (the G.A was supposed to start at that time too.. hehe) and readied my wardrobe (while everybody else was wearing some kickass outfits, racquel was in her P.E uniform.. hehe) for the interview.
I arrived late (what's new?). I arrived at 4:00 PM, but somebody told me that they weren't that punctual also because they've only managed to start at around 2:30. When I got there, the last game was just ending (i missed the fun part, right?). What I've witnessed are the performances of the talented polsci students that includes the rock chic Nesrin who rocked with Ma'am Gemzon, a couple of guys who sang an originally composed song of their band and a girl quartet who sang an acapella version of torete. While the performances were on-going, I was taking pictures of the P1 class while they were goofing around. I did enjoy today's event even though I feel sick.
The mock interview was postponed, thanks to Dwight and Czar who talked it out with Mr. Villanueva.
Well, here's a few shots: To view more photos, go to my gallery section, thanks.

penshoppe.. anybody?
Yeah, I did mention something like "no name bashing at all", I just can't help this one thing!! it's just so puzzling and funny and scary, all at the same time. read on...
meet ms. penshoppe, she's a classmate of mine. she said she owns panties similar to those penshoppe panties, but they weren't from penshoppe though, she said, because her panties came from abroad, because they are rich, so rich. anyweiz, maybe there's just a need for her to emphasize that there were resemblances with her panties and penshoppe panties. that, I can take for granted.
but... look at her friendster photos, you'll find there photos captioned with "I am in penshoppe"... in addition to that, she's always mentioning about "penshoppe"
mann!! why is she so fascinated with penshoppe? I just don't get it!! oh my.. I'm really starting to believe that she already has a few loose screws. i wanted to laugh about it, only to realize in the end that it wasn't funny at all, but scary... real scary.
hey karma, ang bilis mo na ah! pati ba ikaw, computerized na rin?

this day is sooo tiring, not physically though, because I've always believed that you can always just rest and get some sleep after you've done physically challenging jobs. I feel wasted, because of the dramas some people are bringing into my life. I've always believe that I'm somehow a happy person, having an imagination that is not self-limiting. But people, and dealing with them, can take all your energy from you because you've always got to understand them, and at the same time, keep your sanity, try not to lose it even if it feels like it's already getting out of your hand. what I've realized from my 18 years of living is that most people, no matter how much they try to say and show that they love you or no matter how much they love you in reality, the love for their selves is always greater than the kind of love they could offer to anybody. And I think it's unfair.... so unfair. It's always about self-preservation, survivability over goodwill. "me first" and the "give me more" mentality.
I'm beginning to believe an idea stated before by a blogger like me that I've read somewhere in the past, that only a very few number of people in this world is still worth loving. You know what I'll wish on the first star that will appear tomorrow on the night skies? I'll wish that before my life becomes life no more, I've already managed to have shared a love that is self-less and unconditional.

We'll be having our debate on our ParlPrac class this coming Friday, and I was appointed secretary to the presiding officer, who happened to be Czar. I'm a bit nervous about it because I was the one who provided the class the set of by-laws that must be observed and exercised in the debate. Lord, can u make this debate a success for me, please? thank u.
[ t h r e e ]
van, I told myself before that I wouldn't waste another minute of my precious time trying to write something about you here on my blog. Yes, I consider being involved in a cold war against you already a sickening situation... sickening and tiring. You will never hear a thing from me again... You failed to make me witness your good side, maybe simply because it's non-existing. I'm sorry but I'm already one of those so many people around you who've already chosen to see through you, as if you're not there at all. You are now... invisible in my eyes. How pitiful.
P.S.
Please try to keep Kristin, she's the only one left who can tolerate your appalling uniqueness. I just wish she's at least trying to change you... and also your other friend whose pretentious kindness towards me I so greatly admire - flawless and discreet. Did I just say discreet? Oh... I didn't mean to.

"what makes you unique?"
[ tsk tsk ]
ahhh.. the latest poem sucks, I know!! just felt like going a bit mushy last night, didn't know the result would be that bad.. haha!! anyweiz, I wonder why my friendster blog refuses to open.. hmm. maybe because I've posted there something like this: "blogger is much better than friendster blogs..." HAHA!
[ kim, kim, kim ]
ate kim!! thanks for the free meal ulet!! don't worry about josh, I'm not really that into him.. nyehehehe!! just kidding!
[ yipee!! ]
We did our impromptu speech today in our speech 2 class, and though I felt like I've been through hell standing in front of the class for two minutes finding words that would best tell my ideas about the topic given exclusively for me, "what makes you unique?", I should say that I really enjoyed the experience. Just as not to let the precious seconds pass by without me telling a thing, a factor not beneficial on my grade, I tried to focus, and mann was it hard!! I felt like I suddenly forgot all of the words and I couldn't form even just a single sentence. But after bluffing a few greetings and two sentences without substance, I began to say something nice and good. What happened next had been graded 94. I should say that that grade was already satisfying knowing that the highest is 96. I want to thank God for the flow of ideas, He did not fail to guide me once again.

While doing a seatwork in our Intro to Law class, someone announced that the winner of this year's UAAP cheering competition, according to text message, was National University (N.U) and Adamson got the 2nd, FEU, 3rd. Of course, we were doubtful about it, considering it just one freakin' joke that wasn't funny at all (or was it?). We were right, it was indeed just a joke because the winners are as follows: 1st - UST, 2nd - UP, 3rd - FEU. WHoa.. another year on the third spot! I'm thankful to God for letting us bag the third place but let us not stop there, fellow tamaraws! Let's get the crown from UST next year!!!

ROBERTO MACATONGTONG JR.'s Birthday!! Happy birthday Hero!! Wish ko sana you'll gain some weight.. haha!! and lovelife of course...
[ speaking of lovelife ]
tsk, there are rumors that the new-found love of my life is GAY!! what the fu*ck was that!? minsan na nga lang akong makadama nang ganitong pakiramdam.. tapos ganon pa. Pero I refuse to believe the rumors.. kasi I really like him. I just wish that he could lessen all those constant starings on me during class hours, hindi kasi ako sanay. I hate the feeling of being conscious about my looks! Kailangan ko tuloy ayusin ang sarili ko every now and then.. Haha! weird, he's making me feel like there was something in me that is worth staring at... well, I'm still on the process of figuring out what it is about me that he liked.
I'm not assuming, I'm just being positive. *winks*

I've seen it coming
so I've put on my helmet
a sword on my one hand
a shield on the other
It's already here
and though equipped,
I've been unable to fight it
my knees got weak...
I hate the feeling
of being defeated
by love once again,
not until you stretched out your hand...
our stares met somewhere in between
then I tried to consider your offer,
love and affection -
I reconsidered and considered again.
When I look up
to finally grab the gift
of my dream knight in shining armor,
he's already far from me.
beside him, is the girl
who didn't bother to consider,
reconsider and consider again
about the love and affection he offered.
This,
is a battle
not well fought.

Big Brother Philippines Facts
The house was built in the country's largest city, Quezon City, at a cost of around 18 million pesos (£180,000) and features two living rooms, a garden and swimming pool.
Around 35,000 hopefuls had applied to be on the show. "It was not people with good looks, gorgeous bodies, or fantastic talents that we were looking for," said director Laurenti Dyogi of the selection process. "It was people with very interesting and expressive personalities-and the more unique, the better. For as long as they can pass a series of tests that would show that they have no violent and suicidal tendencies, we were willing to consider them to be in the final 12. And that's regardless of their profession, educational background and religion."
The winner will take home one million pesos (£10,000), a new house and a brand new Nissan Frontier Titanium 3.
[ My Opinion: called for, so don't argue ]
Pinoy Big Brother is the latest craze today on Philippine television, I guess. I've been able to watch a few number of episodes, and really, I'm entertained. But let me ask you one question, are you really interested in those lame challenges that Pinoy Big Brother is asking the housemaids to do? C'mon, let's just be true to ourselves here, No is your answer. How come that suddenly, we've become too curious of those people who probably we've already rub shoulders with in the past, the time when they're not on TV and we don't give a damn? Is it because there's a need for us to be on top of everybody else's business? Or is it because there's this longing inside us for the same fifteen minute of fame they're all experiencing now? We want to know what's happening to the housemaids as they put on their show and sell us the tasteless dramas we're all craving for.
I cannot blame you if you'll be fired up in disgust as an avid fan of PBB once you've read this, but I think the show is sooo pointless. Pointless because it is heartless. Heartless because it feels like we're being fed a piece of human misery, and not know it consciously, because we're so preoccupied with the kind of enjoyment that is selfish and inconsiderate.
how sad, it makes you happy.
sleepful... ?? nyahaha!!
ahh.. nakakatamad talaga gumawa ng kahit ano pag umuulan. tulad ngayon, natulog lang ako maghapon. kung di pa tumawag si dave, siguro, mas mahaba-haba pa ang naging pag-stay ko sa dreamland. tagal ko na rin palang di nakapag-update.. hmm.. kasi naman, wala akong maisip ilagay na kwento, kahit marami namang nangyayari sa buhay ko.. ayun, tinatamad lang pala talaga akong magkwento. pero ngayon, o cge na nga, magkukuwento na ko.. nyehehe.
Before I proceed to my storytelling, I would like to show off first some of the photos taken with the P1 class, so go now to the kel's photos section of this site located at the left side..
Updates:
I haven't attended the fumigation project last Sunday, so I wasn't surprise when Ma'am Gemzon kinda like snobbed me when Monday came and I needed to see her for me to be able to take my midterm exam on Intro to Law. But I guess the disappointment was short term when came Wednesday and she greeted me with a smile... and news that I need to work on a new logo because our club is not anymore Rotaract Club of FEU but is now ROTARACT club of Sampaloc, community based instead of school-based. Funny thing is, I still feel elated whenever somebody entrusts me to do something like that. I feel that my modicum amount of talent is being appreciated. Thanks for your trust, I promise to always give my best.
Oh, I'm also planning to submit a design proposal for the PolSci shirt. I hope they'll at least take a look at it... kahit hindi na mapili. hehe.

I'm reviewing the latest album of Toni Braxton, "Libra". Consists only of 10 tracks, the first single is already out now but is not being played on Philippine radios..hhmm, I wonder why.. not a hit? No. "Please", the first single released, have been able to fill a spot in the Billboard 100... sayang, I really like that track pa naman, kasi may rhytmn and beat that only Toni Braxton can deliver.
[ emotions ]
You're still occupying a piece of my mind and a part in my heart, nakakainis ka!! sisingilin na kita!! When will you tell me that you're planning to stay for good, and that I somehow occupy a piece of your mind and a part in your heart? willing naman akong magbayad kung sakaling sisingilin mo ako... and I'm not talking about money.

6:00 - 9:00 AM
walked from PICC to Quirino Grand Stand, talked to friends to help endure the long walk, observed, listened, then talked again. when we reached the final destination, sat at some rock to rest the aching legs and feet.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
after we ate, we've decided to go malling, picked SM Megamall then watched an Indian film titled "Evil Eyes", a movie that has the same plot as that of "the eye" from Japan... or korea, I really don't know. moving on, we also window shopped, drooled over magazines with Angelina Jolie on its front covers, walked again (alay lakad part 2), went to Shang, walked again to hunt down a cozy place where foods are offered cheap (sadly, there were none), found a chair where we rest our exhausted feet, legs, mind and mouth... ahhh, serenity at last...
5:00 - 6:00 PM

I know, I find imperfections and weaknesses on my old friends, because there are indeed, because imperfection exists. But if I'm going to compare them to the bunch of pretenders that I've managed to meet in college, too confident about themselves though in reality, living a miserable life, my old friends would undeniably stand-out, inspite of them having achiless' heels.
OO, kilala ko na kayo, nakita ko na ang mga totoong kulay nyo. May kinang kayo sa kaanyuang panlabas lamang, pero ang parte ng pagkatao nyo na kayang itago, nabubulok, namamaho. Kayo-kayo, nagsasaksakan habang nakatalikod ang isa, naghahanap ng lalaitin dahil mga Diyos kayong walang dungis - isang maling akala. Pinagtatawanan nyo ang may kaunting dumi sa mukha, habang kayo, may mga malalang sakit na nakakahawa - insecurities na kinakain kayo nang buhay.
It's such a pity, you were blessed with beautiful faces, only to arm it with an attitude that will not bring you somewhere good. I wish you could stop with all those backstabbing and pin-pointing of other people's faults and instead, decide to clean up first your own messes.
I know, I find imperfections and weaknesses on my old friends, because there are indeed, because imperfection exists. But if I'm going to compare them to the bunch of pretenders that I've managed to meet in college, too confident about themselves though in reality, living a miserable life, my old friends would undeniably stand-out, inspite of them having achiless' heels.

well, too much poems already. sorry, been busy. had to deal with the daily hazards of studies. need to keep up with the "competition".. hehe.
anyweiz, I'm currently watching the current number 1 movie in US, the "the 40 year old virgin". you should see it... ahh!! kelly clarkson!! wahaha! bleh, you can only laugh with me after you see the movie.
okei.. i believe my extracurriculars are going to take up so much of my time in the coming days, like the alay lakad and our fumigation project, so I guess I still don't have the time to clean my room.. grabe, sobrang naaawa na ako sa itsura at kalagayan ng room ko.. it honestly looks like little payatas right now, so please don't visit me anytime soon.
speaking of alay lakad, i wanna thank my fellow 4A buddies KIM, GWEN and DAX for doing me a great favor of getting up early or not sleeping anymore just to go with me and the rest of the members and officers of FEU Rotaract club in the alay lakad that will take place this coming sunday morning, 4am to be more specific, from PICC to Quirino Grandstand. thank you guys! thank you so much!
hmm.. expect more poems to be posted here in the coming days.. some people just can't refrain from fueling me with inspiration.. lolz.
have a great weekend ahead! or... have a great head this weekend.. peace out!

tell it to the whole wide world!
you can tell all the lies
all the lies
you've woven so well...
lies you thought
are flawless.
a crowd claps.
bravo, bravo, they say.
i applaud your being persistent
in dragging me down to your level,
keep trying,
so I'll keep on laughing,
at a free comedy marathon.
audience was astonished.
such a great performance from their favorite clown.
i never even thought
you've chosen acting
as your hobby.
a blockbuster
a two thumbs up play,
titled
"the pathetic pretender"
congratulations,
your award is a trip to hell.

for you, DO!
why did you even bother to begin
when suddenly,
you'll just stop
dropped me
like I wasn't capable
of breaking
taken for granted
like I was
that tough
instead of just
listening to you heart,
you judged,
i thought
you are different
thanks for showing
that you have a streak
of an ordinary
boy...
ordinary means
nothing really special.

hurray for red-eye!
been waiting for this... a real good movie at last.
Usually, critic's and moviegoer's reviews on one movie vary, the former saying a flick sucks while the latter showing two thumbs up, or vice versa. Well, seems like RED EYE managed to gather rave reviews from both, giving average ratings of B and B*
I don't know if the movie is already showing on Philippine movie houses, but I strongly recommend that if it is or it will be, spend some of your hard earned dough on it by going to a theatre instead of grabbing a DVD copy in Quiapo or elsewhere, because it's really worth your time and money.

from ate vanna's site...
this poem was taken from ate vanna's 100bottles site: I so love this poem.. nakaka-relate kasi ang inyong lingkod. read on:
You still invade my thoughts like no one else can
i loved you far longer than what is healthy
and this is where my assumptions took me
to a merry chase going nowhere
these lines...
a token of a long lost hope and faith
to a man
who would love no other
but his music
from a girl
who would love no other
man.
...
hmm.. nakakainis nang konti, hindi nya ko masyado naalayan ng atensyon. sabagay, hindi ko rin naman sya madalas pansinin e.. kasi naman, bakit ba kailangan ko kaagad mailang? e friendship pa lang naman ang dapat habulin... o baka naman friendship lang talaga ang kaya kong abutan...

[ no exams for me ]
oh my, i think i will not be able to take up my midterm exam on friday and saturday because I still haven't paid my balance approximately amounting to 13,000 pesos.. wow, it's only now that I truly realize how expensive education is. It's no surprise that my name yet appeared again on the negative list, the list of people who won't be allowed to step a foot on the classroom on examination day unless they go to the cashier first and pay the necassary amount for the continuation of their education... paper paper, money money, baby...
the greatest irony is, some of the people who were able to pay on time and in full are the not so bright students who don't even bother to touch their books. Hmm... I so envy their kind, the part only of being able to pay on time and in full. hehe...
so, where will I go on Friday and Saturday, knowing that my professors are not going to hand in the questionnaires to me because of my unpaid dues? I don't know. Any suggestion?
[ Eeepp!! ]
I still haven't worked on the logo I promised I'll be creating for our Rotaract Club.. hmm.. I think I should first work on this getting uglier attitude of mine of making promises that couldn't be kept. well anyweiz, I guess I need to seek help from artists like me (ehem.. speaking too highly of yourself again, ms. balao-as?) to be able to produce a kick-ass design. hehe.
eeep!! (again...) I still haven't reviewed for that long quiz tomorrow in our speech class. I know I need to study and I believe that I must study but whenever I remember the kind of rampant cheating that proliferates in the room during exams, it makes me wanna let go of my study material, close my eyes and lose myself to dreamland...

enjoy at boring...
saya nung birthday party ni bobbie sa laguna! langoy-langoy! may nangyari pa ngang kakaiba eh.. kaya lang, nahihiya akong ikwento. baka walang maniwala.. haha! anyweiz, a few of my friends already knew about it, you might as well just ask them if you're really interested.. well anyweiz, sana pala hindi na ako pumasok ngayon sa school.. wala pa akong tulog dahil galing pa ngang laguna.. kasi naman, wala pala si ma'em gemzon, so wala ring intro to law, tapos wala ding ginawa sa techwrite, nag brainstorming lang ang mga magkaka-grupo to produce a topic for their research.
Some of our photos from laguna:

and here are proofs that wala kaming ginawa sa school ngayon:

Call me conceited, but I think someone is kinda liking me... no problem for me coz I've already fallen for him.. hehe. Kaya lang may problema...

rants again, I guess...
still can't decide what I'm gonna do!! it's bobbie's birthday bash tomorrow, she invited us to join in the celebration at a private resort in Laguna... the problem is, the call time is 4pm and I've got classes up to 7:30pm! Hay nako.. hindi na lang ako papasok.. dadalhin ko na lang ung books ko dun sa swimming pool at dun ko na lang babasahin sina Fichte at Hegel. hay nako, mami-miss ko si.. si..., si DO! ay teka, hindi ba masyadong halata? hehe... waiittt!! may pag-uusapan pala kami ni Doms tomorrow... sorry doms, our chikahan is postponed.
anyweiz, marami naman kaming napag-usapan sa meeting namin sa Rotaract.. kaka-excite nga ang mga lined-up activities eh - Alay Lakad kaagad sa September 4, call time is 4AM! good luck naman sa akin. the logo making had been assigned to me and to julius rafanan (we have to make our own designs and the club will choose between our logos) I'm not expecting na mapipili ang aking logo, kasi rafanan's friend who will help him out is a FINE ARTS student. But hey! No competition, ayt? I'll contribute everything for the club to reach its goal, and according to ms. gemzon, the goals for now are for our club to be recognized by the university and to be able to achieve the prestigious "Rookie Rotary CLub of the Year" Award. Well, with the type of members and officers we have as of now, I know that somehow, nothing is impossible and those goals are just within reach.
[ rants again... ]
Ayaw nila akong tigilan. Nakakainis talaga. At ito pa ang nakakagalit talaga, pina-plastic nila ako!! gawd! pero y'know what? hindi na siguro talaga ako galit, the best word to describe what I'm feeling right now is irritation. nakaka-irita. some people just won't shut up. they are provoking a fight! as if they can handle me when I start to entertain. Ayoko lang talagang bumaba sa level nila, but they are trying to show me na I'm a weakling and can be easily stepped on pag hindi ko sila pinatulan... oh please, don't kid yourselves too much. once my anger becomes obvious, I'm telling you, you wouldn't find reasons to laugh or even just smile. besides, why should I waste my time on you, pantayan mo muna ako academically at baka maisipan pa kitang paglaanan kahit man lang konting panahon. haha!!

not funny at all...
forgive me
I've fallen for you;
for your grand simplicity,
for being a humble stand-out,
for being funny at the right time,
for being serious at the right time,
for just being inexplicably you.
sorry
if my past is full of imperfections,
mistakes I can't undo anymore.
if you'll see on my forehead
a mark that you would be ashamed of -
I've tried to erase it,
but it was permanently etched,
I've tried to remove it,
so ugly,
so wrong,
so much like me...
I realized, I stopped,
it only became uglier,
turned into something acceptable
by the prejudice eyes
but something not so me.
So it's up to you now
if you'll turn your back and not dare to reconsider,
I was hoping not.
I don't want to go back anymore
to that old place full of bitter memories,
the place where you tried to rescue me from.
I love you
it's not so often that I say this to your kind,
a foreign feeling,
a different kind of burning,
a change I didn't plan to undergo from the start...
but you led me to.
don't let my plea just be another echo,
this voice is from a different person now.
= = = = = = = = = = =
Thursday is supposed to be a rest day for me, no classes to attend to, no books to read, but I think the lazy-ass routine would have to be set aside for tomorrow, because I'll be attending the first ROTARACT club meeting. I don't know exactly what the meeting will be all about but I just wish it wouldn't have to take so much time to produce substantial propositions. I hope we'll finish a lot of work tomorrow.
OMG! The membership fee for the club is 50 pesos... a month!! whoa! haha! natatawa nga ako sa sarili ko kasi nagkukuwenta nako kung magkano ung dapat kong ibawas sa baon ko everyday just to be able to pay off the monthly fee... hehe.
Blessed talaga ang mga mabubuting tao... one good example is Nadine, my classmate, she's the type who doesn't talk too much but kanina lang, Ma'am Gemzon announced that she's our monarch sa aming Intro to Law class. Well, monarch kasi ung tawag dun sa nakakuha ng pinakamataas na grade. I'm so proud of her, coz she really deserved it. Congrats Nadine!

in this time of the year...
I arrived at school at 1 o'clock in the afternoon just to find out that we don't have a class today on INTEREL because Mrs. Reyes have attended some important function... that means the start of my first class today is actually 4:30 PM... so I needed to spend 40 pesos for my internet usage outside, at WebTour PC shop specifically. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my hair is kinda looking good today because I have it relaxed last Sunday. Sorry but I don't have some interesting stories to share today... well, not quite... I do have some stories to tell:
a. doms and I talked until 9PM today... of course, we've shared interesting stories, exchanged views about some things... y'know, usual friends chika stuff.. hehe. We've talked about one type of guy, the kind who uses "psychiatry" in getting the babes. The type that acts as if he knows your real dilemmas in life, knows the person you are and tells you that he is the fittest guy to take so as to heal the wounds of your heart... lolz. She told me about some guy who hit on her one time with this kind of approach:
GUY: "man-hater ka no?"
DOMS: "hinde"
GUY: "hindi, aminin mo na, man-hater ka. akala mo lahat ng lalaki magkakatulad na lang. man-hater ka d ba?"
DOMS: "ewan ko sayo."
GUY: "gusto mo try natin?"
hahaha!! nakakatawa no... well, can't blame all those guys who hit on my friend Doms, coz she's really something. As much as I want to provide a picture of her here, I think I'd better not, she'll go hysterical once she knew about it. Doms is really allergic in seeing her own face... she so abhors vainglory... hehe.
she also told me about another guy telling her this:
GUY2: "ano na nga ulet pangalan nung kaibigan mong yun?" (referring to Ron, our common friend)
DOMS: "Ron! Ano ka ba!?"
GUY2: "pasensya ka na ha? Doms na lang ang alam kong pangalan eh.."
yeah right. haha!
b. ang kulet ni dwight kanina!! umiinom daw ako ng ihi!! haha! the reason why is because of my fondness in drinking apple flavored C2, which is urine-like in color. everytime i tried to drink, he'll make me hear something like, "mmm.. sarap ng ihi.." or "rakel, bakit ka umiinom ng ihi? sarap?", then may kasamang pang-asar na tawa! haha! ang kulet mo dwight! on my way sa sakayan, nasalubong ko naman siya, and guess what he was holding? An Apple flavored C2!! hahaha! Ihi pala dwight ha?! praning!
c. Herbert and I had a deep conversation about politics and personal stuff. I like his being openminded and understanding. Ikan, thanks for being the outlet of my emotions... thanks for seeing the good side in me.. thanks for being a friend. =D

We've talked about one type of guy, the kind who uses "psychiatry" in getting the babes. The type that acts as if he knows your real dilemmas in life, knows the person you are and tells you that he is the fittest guy to take so as to heal the wounds of your heart... lolz. She told me about some guy who hit on her one time with this kind of approach:
GUY: "man-hater ka no?"
DOMS: "hinde"
GUY: "hindi, aminin mo na, man-hater ka. akala mo lahat ng lalaki magkakatulad na lang. man-hater ka d ba?"
DOMS: "ewan ko sayo."
GUY: "gusto mo try natin?"
hahaha!! nakakatawa no... well, can't blame all those guys who hit on my friend Doms, coz she's really something. As much as I want to provide a picture of her here, I think I'd better not, she'll go hysterical once she knew about it. Doms is really allergic in seeing her own face... she so abhors vainglory... hehe.
she also told me about another guy telling her this:
GUY2: "ano na nga ulet pangalan nung kaibigan mong yun?" (referring to Ron, our common friend)
DOMS: "Ron! Ano ka ba!?"
GUY2: "pasensya ka na ha? Doms na lang ang alam kong pangalan eh.."
yeah right. haha!
b. ang kulet ni dwight kanina!! umiinom daw ako ng ihi!! haha! the reason why is because of my fondness in drinking apple flavored C2, which is urine-like in color. everytime i tried to drink, he'll make me hear something like, "mmm.. sarap ng ihi.." or "rakel, bakit ka umiinom ng ihi? sarap?", then may kasamang pang-asar na tawa! haha! ang kulet mo dwight! on my way sa sakayan, nasalubong ko naman siya, and guess what he was holding? An Apple flavored C2!! hahaha! Ihi pala dwight ha?! praning!

for those who talks too mch but knows so little..
"i can see ur point,but i still think ur full of it...."
"you have the right to remain silent,cause wutever u say will probbly be stupid anyway..."

those who implies perfection
"my imagnary friend thinks u hav SERIOUS PROBLEMS..."
for those who wont quit buggin u..
"Go away! i have enough friends already..."
then do ur evil laugh! { buwhahahaha!} this will shut ur corruptr up.

[ my own ]
I've just learned a lesson today... no matter how hard some people try to bring you down, you'll never be down and low as long as you already have TRUE and GOOD friends to back you up and make your opponents back-off. You are truly an invincible persona when you have true friends... you are as twice as strong as you've known yourself before, a tower with a strong foundation that can't be easily demolished, a blinding light unappreciated by those who belong to the dark side of the world.
That's what I think of myself right now... thanks to the people who never doubted me and instead put me into a place which is of higher ground. My friends strengthened me so well that the negativities can only manage to bother me for short span of time.
[ losers ]
isn't it saddening when you already have all the money in the world and yet you can't buy with it the things you actually need to be happy? Isn't it more saddening when you have to badmouth someone and tell nasty rumors about him/her just to be able to reach that kind of satisfaction that your money can't bring you? you're rich but you know you don't have enough friends... real good friends? tsk.. your problem is quite serious... something that could lead to psychological imbalance. remember, there's only a thin line between sanity and the opposite of it... i advise you not to cross-over... haha! I pity you, loser.
[ bring me down! woohoo! ]
Haha! I've made it! I was appointed School Affairs Director of the ROTARACT CLUB of FEU! Thanks to Ma'am Gemzon! Thanks for believing ma'am! You never know how elated I am! Haha! thanks for putting you trust on me... I will try my best not to disappoint you and the rest of the club members. And to those people who practiced crab mentality and attacked unfairly just to bring me down, sorry losers, you're not as deserving as I am, so back-off and eat my dust! haha! still can't managed to bring me down, eh? try suicide.
If you didn't like my nice and good side, I assure you, you wouldn't like my bad side either. When I'm bad, I'm not just bad... I'm evil.

yey! success!
I think yesterday's reporting in speech went well... I'm so glad that the entire P1 cooperated with us in the activity we prepared for them. I just realized something today regarding P1, they are really good in thinking outside the box. The realization came to me when we've grouped them for the activity of making a short commercial for a detergent bar. Their concepts are really worth to be applauded... and to think that we've only given them 10 minutes to practice... they have such creative minds.
Anyweiz, I don't know if I'm just trying to be optimistic, but I think the people who I have messed up relationship with are making efforts to show signs of reconciliation. I'm up to it, hundred percent, but not now. If they want to talk to me and ask certain sensitive questions, then fire away, and I'll try to give them straight answers (noticed the pun?), but don't they dare send that old hag as their representative coz what I've planned to be engaged in at this time is cold war, so don't provoke shooting war by sending her to me! I don't have time for pathetic feelingeras.
Ahhh!! I want to be an officer of the Rotaract Club in FEU!! But I guess Czar had already fixed his eyes on the presidency, so I think I have to settle for something less... hehe. Ah basta, I'll ask my friends to give me a seat in the club by insisting them to nominate me then eventually vote for me... please, classmates, please?? Well, if I'm not really destined to be an officer of Rotaract, I'll just satisfy myself with the fact that, at the very least, I'm one of the founding members of the Rotaract Club in FEU.

arrgghhh!! sana naman maging OK ung presentation namin tomorrow sa speech class!!
I've just heard from Paul that there will be another Quiz Bowl scheduled next month. This time, the fight will be IAS inter-departmental level(is that right? I'm not sure what term to use, so bear with me.), meaning there will be representatives from the different IAS courses - a pair from masscom, a pair from the english and so on. I will be the other half of PolSci's representative, being the other half of last sem's Political Science quiz bowl champions, with Paul as my partner. But Paul told me that he can't be my partner in the coming IAS quiz bowl because he was qualified from doing so, being a member of an org I beleve. He said that there will be an elimination round for prospective partners... I just hope he/she is as good as Paul... =D
errors of this entry will be fixed later, I'm in a hurry... thanks.

[ movie reviews ]
had downloaded and watched two movies today, one is Herbie: Fully Loaded (starring Lindsay Lohan) and the other is The Skeleton Key which starred Kate Hudson (showing will start Aug. 12 in U.S, I don't know if it will be released here)
Well, Herbie Fully Loaded is a fun and entertaining movie, it's not that good, but it's OK. The Skeleton Key is my kind of horror flick. It doesn't feature montrous entities or walking skeletons (lolz). I just find the concept original and the story, unpredictable. The story progresses slowly, so if you're the type who wants instant action, you'll just probably doze off, but if you got the patience to wait for the big twist, sit tight and I promise, you'll be hooked as soon as you hit the last 30 minutes of the movie. here, I've provided you some scenes from the movie:

a different kind of Irony
nakakatawa ako ngayon. hindi ako nakapag-exam sa stats, di ko rin naipasa ung ginawa kong assignment kasi nawawala. muntik na rin akong hindi nakapasok kasi wala akong baon, hindi pa kasi umuuwi si kuya. sa speech class naman namin, ako ung reason kaya natagalan kami matapos sa huling activity sa group dynamics, ayaw kasi kumapit ng papel sa foot ko. sa techwrite naman, ang hirap pala i-explain ng Facial Recognition System, yun pa ang pinili ko! haha! nakakatawa talaga! Medyo may pagkamalas lang talaga ang araw na ito... pero di bale, nakakatawa naman eh. eto pa, nung dini-discuss ko sa mga kagrupo ko sa speech kung ano ang gagawin namin this coming wednesday sa presentation namin, at paano namin gagawin ang mga yun, feeling ko, nagkakaroon kami ng clash of ideas nung leader namin. how ironic... kasi ang topic namin is all about teamwork, tapos we can't make our own team work. we only have three days left to practice, but as of now, we don't have anything yet to practice. haaay.
falling all over again...

too much hating naman dito sa site na ito, konting love muna... *kilig* hehe.
It took
one look
and forever lay out in front of me
I often laugh at you, pointing out on your every little pretty imperfections. It makes me happy doing that, to be able to find even just a slight defect on you... because you seem so perfect to me. But I guess your faults only adds up to the reasons why I consider you perfect.
One smile
then I died
only to be revived by you
You may never know this, but in everything I do, you are part of the inspiration that drives me to work hard and give my best. It's hard to be something in this world, but I will try, and try again if ever I stumble and fall, just to let you know how much strength you've given me to go on.
There I was
thought I had everything
figured out
goes to show just how much I know
bout the way life plays out
i take one step away
and I find myself coming back
to you
my one and only
one and only
you..
You will never be history in my life, only an eternal present. If I can't make you stay, then I have no choice but to walk away with you. If you don't want me to go with you, then I have no choice but to just continue my life alone, feeling complete, knowing that I've found my purpose on earth by becoming a better person because of you. Thank you for touching my life, for letting me experience the magic of unconditional love.

i wanna share this...
I spent the whole day in front of the PC (uh, ok, I guess there's nothing new with that.. lolz) but this time, I ain't just killing time, I was looking for websites that contain information on the topic we will be discussing on our speech class ( i think on tuesday), coz, yeah, it's our groups turn to report. Anyweiz, I found a feel-good article written by Ken Blanchard (the author of "One Minute Manager", which is part of our report) that I want to share here:
[ The Limitations of Perfection ]
The minute there is a right and wrong way of doing things, you start to fear failure.by Ken Blanchard
During the first week of January, our family goes to Aspen, Colorado, to participate in a week-long ski program titled "The Magic of Skiing," run by Tom Crum. Tom, an expert in aikido, a Japanese art of self-defense, is the author of The Magic of Conflict.
In aikido, if someone goes to punch you, you are taught not to block the punch. When you try to block a punch, you are using resistance -- your power and strength against the other person's power and strength. That sets up a win-lose confrontation. Instead, teachers recommend stepping aside with an accepting and pivoting movement. This will use the attacker's energy against him or her.
The key to all of this is to learn how to be centered mentally, with both mind and body relaxed and alert. It is in this state of heightened awareness and connectedness that thinking mechanics cease and the flow, or zone, begins.
You can let go of some of those interfering technical thoughts on the ski slopes by focusing on simple physiological responses like breathing, according to Tom. All great athletic movements are done fluidly, without tension. If your breathing is full and continuous, so is the body's state of movement and relaxation. If the breath is held or shallow, the body's movements will be correspondingly rigid and discontinuous. Smooth and powerful breathing will result in smooth tempo and graceful skiing.
Applying this principle to skiing, try "breathing in" as you approach a turn and "breathing out" as you make the turn, suggests Tom. In the process, visualize your breath and energy heading down the hill.
Tom's program shows how skiing is very much like other aspects of our lives. In most cases, you are not reacting to what someone else does but are focused on what you are doing. You are in charge. Tom teaches you to get out of your evaluative role in life and, instead, to experience, enjoy and learn.
One of the things that I have relearned from Tom is the limits of perfection vs. the power of discovery. Tom emphasizes this difference throughout his work.
When you get caught in the perfection trap, you evaluate your performance based on some model. In other words, there is a right and wrong way of doing things. The minute there is a right and wrong way of doing things, you start to fear failure. You don't want to be "wrong." As a result, you often become unwilling to take a risk. When that happens, your focus is on excessive control and judgment. You want to play it safe.
Tom works a lot with schools. When he works with youngsters in kindergarten, he never asks for volunteers. Why? The whole class would jump to their feet. Young children have not learned about perfection yet. They don't even think that there is a possibility of looking like a fool.
It's very different when children get to high school, says Tom. When you ask for volunteers, no one will step forward. They are afraid of being judged. They have learned that there is a right and wrong way to do things, and they should be careful about "sticking their neck out" and volunteering. Why the difference?
Young people understand the power of discovery. When you see a child learning to walk and they fall, when they look up, what do you see? A tremendous grin. They do not evaluate themselves. They just think learning to walk is fun. "I guess that didn't work. Maybe I ought to try something else." They do not evaluate their performance but are into experiencing the moment. They are spontaneous. They are willing to risk. Why? Because they have not learned about perfection. Judgment has not entered their life yet.
The limits of perfection and the power of discovery helped me to see that we need to relearn our spirit of discovery in organizations. If we are to be truly learning organizations, then all of us -- including managers -- need to drop our evaluative and judgmental sides. We should look at everything as an opportunity to learn and discover.
There are no rights and wrongs; there are just experiences. If people are free to learn from experience rather than being fearful of being judged and put down, the potential performance of your organization would amaze you.

a very timely open forum. nakakatuwa na nakakainis pa rin. nagkalabasan na ng sama ng loob, may nalinawan, may lalong nabulagan. may umiyak - may naawa, may sing-tigas pa rin ng bato ang puso. may mga mataas ang pride, meron din namang mga taong pinapayagang apakan lang ang kanilang pride. may mga nagbigay katwiran sa mali, meron namang ayaw ipagsigawan ang tama. differences, puro differences. haay... sana magkaayos na sila. kami naman ng kaaway ko, ITULOY ANG COLD WAR! haha, racquel.. haha.

Inuman na!
thank you..
[ angry? who's angry? ]
thanks for calling me smart... and really, I'm not angry at you. I'm learning from you. Well, that's how you see me, can't do anything about it. If you believe I think TOO highly of myself, I consider it an opinion... and I value the opinions of others, especially of my visitors. Thanks for the criticisms. I wish you didn't delete me on your friend's list on friendster, we could've known each other better.
Siguro nga tama ka, there's a part of me that I still can't accept.
Drop by again... =D
[ whhaaatt??! ]
bakit kaya nila ko pinapansin? hindi ko na alam tuloy kung anong dapat kong isipin. hmm.. sana si rhiane na lang pansinin nila. sana wag na rin silang magparinig kay rhia. sana mabasa nila to.
[ chwimming na! ]

An Open Letter to One Pathetic Bitch
Truthfully, this is an edited version of a blog entry from Theena's friendster blog (I don't know her personally but.. yeah, she's a ka-friendster. hehe). These are the exact words I've been wanting to tell to some fucktard (fuckin' retard) who had the nerve to stab me on the back though I've been so nice to her. Read on:

Men are respectable only as they respect.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
1. Watching young people talk like as if they'll be part of the same banana electorate that we have today really saddens and frustrates me. I thought our generation is different. I thought our minds are far more resistant to brainwashing and corruption. I hope my presumptions are not true...
2. I think you would agree with me if I say that a lot of young people today have bright minds and deep sense of understanding of things around him. I even chose to look up to a few of them, admiring them for having a different kind of maturity and higher level of thinking unlike most of the people at their age. But those who are worthy of my admiration are only those who have the right kind of attitude. Your intelligence is futile if you don't have the right kind of attitude.
3. Two things I hate the most: one, injustice. two, lack of respect. Injustice, I can tolerate because I've seen enough of it already and all I could do about it is to try to be someone who will never be part of it. Lack of respect is something I can't, and won't, be able to stand. Everytime I see someone being disrespectful to another, whoever he/she is, there's this burning need inside of me to insult and belittle that person head to feet and point out to him that he/she is nothing but a disgusting, pathetic piece of garbage.
...hmm, let's see, I think there's a very unfortunate person here on earth who is: 1) stupid 2) doesn't have the right kind of attitude and 3) disrespectful
... sayang, gwapo ka pa naman.
Hehe, backstabbed someone again on this entry.. ang mag-react, sapul! hahaha!! anyweiz, me and some of my classmates will be on Y Speak tomorrow... audience lang naman. Heck, I don't even know what's the topic so I guess I'll just be there to take pictures of ryan and bianca... kidding!
Humbling Experiences:
I was elated when Dave told me that Mr. Mortel, the DEAN of the PolSci Department, was looking for me and was planning to give me the project of designing something... "WHOA...!!" Kilala ako ng Dean? CooL. =D (mapag-uusapan naman ang talent fee eh. juk. =D)
I was chosen to be one of the three adjudicators in a debate in our ParlPrac class. Heck, I wasn't even aware that they just did kasi may nakasalpak na earphones sa tenga ko coz I was listening to some music during that time with tin. Well, hindi yun ang ikinatuwa ko. What counted as a humbling experience is when it was my time to state my opinions and judgements on the debate that just took place, the room got really quiet and they were actually wanting to hear what I've got to say... and that's not just it! I even noticed a few people on the far side standing up and looking to where I was sitting! Wow! I'm extremely flattered! Haha! Nakakatawa din at the same time kasi hindi naman talaga ako marunong mag-adjudicate eh... buti na lang nagkaron ako ng konting experience nung high-school. Haayy.. thank you my high school Alma Mater! I even remembered the debate legendaries Prince Boeck and the guy from section B (I forgot his name)... those assholes and how they pissed the hell out of me during debates way back in high school! haha!
I hope Your blessings will keep on coming... =D

the looking glass self
[ the looking glas self ]
we had an activity in our speech class, about the looking glass self, which is, knowing your identity from other people. we were asked to place a paper at our back where everybody can write and tell how he or she sees you. I wasn't really expecting a positive and deep appreciation of who I am in reality neither did I expect something negative because I know I'm new in P1. If you're interested in viewing my paper, click the thumbnail below for larger view
[ the forum ]
right after the speech class, we eagerly went to the FEU auditorium to attend a forum conducted by the Institute of Law Student Council with the theme, "CROSSROADS: Road Map, Please!". I was thinking of missing the said forum and eat instead because it's already 3pm and I still haven't eaten anything. But upon hearing the presence of Congressman Cheese Escudero and DENR Sec. Mike Defensor as 2 of the 3 guest speakers, I knew I had to postpone my plan of killing my hunger.
This forum HAD the purpose of answering inquiries regarding the current political situation of our country; "Where do we go from here?" is the question, as suggested by the theme itself. The forum started with the 3 politicians stating, and presenting to us, each other's "truths". Cong. Sandoval's presence as one of the 3 speakers was, if not totally ignored, barely even noticed, because the forum became the arena of Escudero (the ONLY guy from the opposition I really admire) and Defensor (a known "sugo" of the administration). Escudero, as usual, managed to impress the entirety of his audience with his "intellectually charismatic" way of speaking, mixing his statements with humor (i.e. "magsasalita na lang po ako sa tagalog, I don't enlish very well..") that totally appealed to most of the FEU students. I believe I can't, and won't, be able to share to you in details what exactly happened in that forum nor can I share with you the same ideas that filled the auditorium. All I can give are my mere opinions:
First, I find Escudero's statements contradictory. I can't mention all but I can give you one: A super hot babe, a future lawyer maybe, had been given the privilege of asking Cheese, starting her inquiry with sentiments telling that she was saddened by the fact that such a fine man like Escudero have chosen to collaborate with known TRAPOS (or people with questionable integrity, as she puts it) in the opposition. Escudero's answer is something to this effect: "malay mo, ayaw ko rin sa kanila... tigilan na natin ang paglalagay ng tatak sa noo ng mga tao, na maka-marcos yan, maka-erap yan, trapo yan... etc.... let's start something anew.. etc." just to conradict it later when some other person asked about the wiretapped tape. He said that there's a plausible theory that the wiretap wasn't intended for PGMA, but instead, for Garcillano, because he was "kilalang magaling mandaya" in elections. See? he totally forgot about his lectures of not marking someone on the forehead.
As for Defensor, I think he's no equal to the competence of Escudero, and I believe he has the same idea about it. But still, I liked him. He presented his arguments clearly, but not entirely completely. The questions thrown at him were not directly answered... and I guess that's the problem of that forum - questions were left unanswered, instead, even more piled up on our minds.
... I went out of the auditorium hungry for food and hungry for solutions that were not adequately provided by our guests.

got 88/100
weee!! got 88 out of 100 in my ParlPrac exam! well, as for for POLS7 and POLS9, no results up to this moment.
[erm. ur not interested with this, right?]
He made me a complete stranger to myself. That guy, he didn't just give a new meaning to happiness as I've known it, but he also showed me the way to it. If I were to describe him in just one word, the word would be great... great in a sense that he possessed every components of the ideal man I've imagined within the faculty of my mind - smart yet not too pa-epal, funny, witty, assertive, good conversationalist, into music like me, spiritual, creative and other adjectives that I've failed to mention, which I'm still not familiar of, but could've been the better terms to use so as to describe him more precisely. But, yea, it's such a pity that he owned the bigger brain to contain all the vocabulary terms that my mind can't store anymore... mental overload, maybe? or mental incapacity? I don't know. Hell, I don't even care. For now, I'm not wanting to learn anything more than finding the way to his heart.
It's not the looks, for I find his features ordinary. I think it's the attitude and personality that made me fall like this, or maybe it's just the way he talks... grrr... I can't get him off my mind.. this feeling is alienating, weakening. I'm like an 8 year old girl having a first crush, only this time, not with the campus heartrob, for I've never fell for those who are equipped with only nice eyes and smile, nor the tall, dark and handsome ones, who dig and dream of hot heart evangelista look-alike chinitas, but never had the capability of changing the world, too much time being wasted on hailing the god he sees everytime he faces the mirror.
I don't just admire him... I worship him. But worship and love are two different things, the former having a temporary status in my mind while the latter having an eternal status in my heart. I don't love him... but I feel my heart is driving its way to a place where flowers bloom and sun shines brighter than before... a place where all those cheesy, mushy, icky stuff belonged that I used to laugh at before.

I was reading a paperback awhile ago, the one I bought at BookSale Taft. It is a collection of horror short stories from various writers... but hell, buying and reading that book wasn't exactly the story I've planned to write about... it's about the song that had been played on the background whilst I was reading my book... damned by shimoli. That wasn't the first time I've heard that song, but it was only then that I've been able to appreciate its lyrics... I find it funny, and kinda related to my current feelings about someone. So, ayun, I had to put down the book and went back to reading it again only when the song managed to end.
[sana naman]
... nakapasa ako sa exams. may results na kaya by tomorrow?
... gusto kong matutong magluto ng ibang foods... i want to unleash the cook in me!! naksss!!
hmm.. don't be surprised if you see a bigger me in the coming days... it's just that I've been killing boredom with foods right now... especially junk foods.. which I'm not a fan of naman dati.. wanna pig-out with me? hehe
I did a little experiment on Adobe Photoshop... I've tried to find a way to merge my face with that of urumi's... and here's what I've got, a picture of someone who is neither urumi-like or racquel-like...

yey! tapos na ang paghihirap! tapos na ang prelim exams! at... gusto kong mag-celebrate! ngayon ko lang naranasan na mag-review nang parang finals na, e prelims pa lang naman! pero promise, sarap nang feeling... kasi, una, kahit ang hihirap ng mga tests, nasagutan ko... well, except for SPEECH! ang dami kong di nasagutan, kasi naman, ang daming kailangan i-memorize. pangalawa... I love my section right now! Kasi, although may mga pasaway dun, wala namang mga grade conscious assholes na nakakaubos ng pasensya... at saka, they have this grim humor which I really adore.. hehehe. kaya lang, may mga tao dun na hindi ko pa rin pinapansin kasi... mukha silang pusod.. nyaknyaknyak! hindi naman ako mahilig manlait, pero sana lang, mabait siya... kahit mukha siyang pusod. BUT, there are those guys in P2 who deserve to be admired... actually, marami sila.

the longest day of my life...
I'm really tired... so tired that I don't even wanna eat dinner... oh, I forgot, there's no dinner coz kuya didn't cook.. but he left Country Style donuts (the long ones, dunno what they are called eh...) for me.. e hindi naman ako mahilig sa donuts. Anyweiz, the exams are so freakin' hard! Especially the essay part!! grrr! nakakainis kasi hindi ako makapag-concentrate kasi ansakit ng ulo ko.. hindi pako natutulog.. kahit isang panandaliang idlip lang, wala. Nope, I'm not saying these para may excuse ako if ever I flunk the tests.. coz somehow, I feel confident about my answers naman, it's just that I believe I could've answered more intelligently if I had adequate sleep.
ahh... I really need to sleep now.. not because I'm sleepy but because I still need to finish those cases I keep on telling here about... bye.

Ayn Rand (February 2, 1905 – March 6, 1982; first name pronounced (IPA) /aIn/ (rhymes with 'mine')), born Alissa "Alice" Zinovievna Rosenbaum, was a popular and controversial American philosopher and novelist, best known for her philosophy of Objectivism and her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Her philosophy and her fiction both emphasize, above all, her concepts of individualism, egoism, "rational self-interest", and capitalism. Her novels were based upon the archetype of the Randian hero, a man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Rand viewed this hero as the ideal and made it the express goal of her literature to showcase such heroes. She believed:
1. That man must choose his values and actions by reason;
2. That the individual has a right to exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing self to others nor others to self; and
3. That no one has the right to seek values from others by physical force, or impose ideas on others by physical force.

Sailing Through Life
=====================
Some things cannot be spoken
or discovered until we have been
stuck,
incapacitated,
or blown off course for awhile.
Plain sailing is pleasant,
but you are not going to explore many unknown realms that way.
~David Whyte~
There are some posters posted (of course) on the walls of FEU (did not come from the school administration) telling us to join the call for PGMA's resignation by walking out of our classes and go with the rent-a-mobs in their pathetic rally tomorrow against Arroyo. Duh... if you'd be having an exam on Intro to Law, are you going? Kayo na lang no!!
The Folks Who Know
==================
The folks who know the truth aren't talking.
The ones who don't have a clue,
...you can't shut them up.
~Tom Waits~
can't post something long for today, sooo busy with studies.. or just pretending being busy.. whatever. have a nice day!

yey! new bag!
yey! got a new bag! that Accel bag I was talking about.. guess what? It was on-sale, so 20% off php450, php360 lang ang price nya.. me and my kuya are drooling over those cool Acupuncture shoes... kasi naman, konti lang pera namin.. buti pa ung kapatid naming isa, nabili nya ung gusto nyang Kickers shoes.. that fits well on me.. *grin*
omg! didn't manage to digest any case today dahil sa malalang sakit ko na... katamaran. I'm getting kinda nervous na about that ah... maybe I should really start working on it and maybe this time, I should really mean what I'm saying.. right?
Need to drop off something at Leo's tomorrow.. stuff that Kim needs.. a copy of a case and the Phil. Consti. by H. De Leon.. wala lang, baka makalimutan ko na naman... I'm so forgetful kasi. =D
[ lesson learned for today ]
A weasel word is a word that is intended to, or has the effect of, softening the force of a potentially controversial statement, or avoids forming a clear position on a particular issue. Weasel words can be readily identified in a large amount of corporate correspondence, and are frequently used by politicians. A weasel word can be compared with, but is distinct from a euphemism.
Though the imagery of the term suggests that it implies the concept of a weasel as being sneaky and able to wiggle out of a tight spot, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language says that the term actually comes from the weasel's ability to suck the contents out of an egg without breaking the shell; thus, weasel words suck the meaning out of a statement while seeming to keep the idea intact.
Weasel words are almost always intended to deceive or draw attention from something the speaker doesn't want emphasized, rather than being the inadvertent result of the speaker's or writer's poor but honest attempt at description.

Awhile ago, I began working on the 10 cases (actually, I only have 5 cases with me because I refused to photocopy my other classmate's copy of all 10 cases thay have, because it is so costly to do so.. nagprint na lang ako from the internet) that are needed to be passed this coming Saturday. I've started with the Sy Joc Lieng Vs. Syquia case and uhmm.. yea, after reading it, I put my pen down and daydreamt instead. Haha! Life is easier this way, no thinking about some deceased chinese merchant whose supposed descendants were suing one another for their right to inheritance. Don't worry, I've promised myself to digest at least 5 cases tomorrow... wish me luck. =D

arrgh!! we (kuya Hermes, Ate Ivay, Tanya and of course, me) are supposed to shop today at Why Pay More? (a sportswear store near Uniwide, Crossing) but due to some unknown reason, it isn't open for business as usual. I'm really wanting a new bag pa naman!! I think I'm buying that black and white Accel messenger bag worth 450php.. hmm.. naiisip ko pa lang, naglalaway nako.. ewww... hehehe!! ay oo nga pala, nagpunta na lang kami agad sa Market!

Ayun, naglakad-lakad sandali, tumingin-tingin na rin sa mga stores then nung nakaramdam na ng gutom, we went outside (yes, outside) to hunt for the perfect place to eat. After a long discussion about where we should dine, we all agreed on Blackbeard's Seafood Island resto, although I'm a bit hesitant coz I find it impractical to eat at such a fine (aka expensive) diner. But yeah, since hindi naman ako ang magbabayad, go lang nang go. We ordered Dapitan's Pride, a 3-4 food combo, includes: tilapia, squid, pork, shrimp, ginataang gabi (yata, di ko na matandaan!), clam shells, crab, etc. na hindi ko alam kung anong tawag sa luto nila). Ang pinakanagustuhan ko sa lahat ay yung kanin! I don't know what they did with the rice but it really tasted good, no, I think the word to describe it should be "superb". I recommend it because the place is cozy and the ambiance, accomodating. Seafood Island is located near the Jeepney Terminal of Market! Market! Mall.

I never considered myself as someone who is pro-Gloria, but I guess as a concerned citizen, I know I need to make a stand. I want PRESIDENT Gloria Arroyo to stay in power. If I have to bring this fight on the streets, I'll gladly do so. Even if it takes having to leave my classroom for days, I'll make the sacrifice of doing so. Why? Truthfully? I don't know. It may seem not to be the right thing to do, to continue giving your trust to someone who have lied before, but it feels like the good thing to do, believing that what she did could be regarded as necessary evil.
Everybody else now is calling for her resignation... are you going to join the bandwagon? If you're planning to, please consider analyzing about the possible consequences once she tendered her resignation. Think, people... think.

Famous Serial Killers
Yoo Young-Chul (born 1970) is a self-confessed South Korean serial killer and cannibal. Although he admitted to murdering 21 people, mostly prostitutes and rich old men, the Seoul Central District Court convicted him of 20 murders (one case was dismissed on a technicality). Yoo burned 3 and mutilated at least 11 of his victims, admitting he ate the livers of some of them. He committed his crimes between September 2003 and July 2004. He was sentenced to death on 13 December 2004.
Born in Tolima, Colombia, in 1949 Pedro Lopez became notorious as the Monster of the Andes. According to Lopez, his prostitute mother kicked him out of their home at age eight for fondling his younger sister. He was then picked up by a pedophile and was sodomized. He was taken in by an American family, but later ran away with a teacher from his school. When he was eighteen he was gang-raped in prison and retaliated by killing three of his assailants.
Upon his release he started killing young girls with glee and impunity. By 1978 he claimed to have killed more than 100 girls in Peru. After a brush with an angry village mob he moved his activities to Colombia and then Ecuador where his bloodlust averaged about three kills a week. He found killing Ecuadorian girls enjoyable because they were "more gentle and trusting, more innocent." It is widely believed that three hundred is a low estimate.

Haha! ang saya nung Speech class namin kanina! May group presentation kasi kami today. through acting, we are to show situations wherein these 3 non-directive responses would occur: Uh-huh, reflective content and open question. I was not able to prepare a script last night so I've only managed to come up with a script during our Stats class together with Angela. We've been able to come up with one crazy kick-ass story that is really unique coz it showcases talking fishes.. hehe.. ( Paul even referred to it as Finding Nemo-like.. nyeks! ) There were 8 groups in all and it elated us in great measure to have achieved the fourth place... achieving it with less effort on our part. But of course, I know it could've been better if only we had the time to make it even better.[ free burger king meal courtesy of rhiane ]
Rhiane asked me to accompany her in buying a small Sto. Nino figurine... unfortunately, we didn't spot a store offering that kind of goods so we just spent the remaining of our breaktime in BK. Of course, having only 100 bucks as my baon for today, 60% of which is allotted already for my transpo fare back and forth, I couldn't afford anymore to buy myself a meal because I've already bought a hotdog sandwich in 7 Eleven earlier. Well... nalibre na naman ako. I want to thank Rhia whole heartedly for the delicious Chicken Steak that filled up my tummy. =D
While and after chomping the BK goodies, we talked about a lot of things (in short, nagtsismisan) related to people, especially our classmates. She also shared family life and love life stories. She told me something that made my heart jumped for joy.. he told me about what Dave told her... that they will prioritize (I don't know if this is the right term to use) keeping me as their company during breaks because.. uhmm.. yeah, they like me. =D Naks... nakakatuwa naman. I feel so appreciated. Thanks guys.

International Relations class namin, biglang kumatok ang aming mahal na Department Head na si Ginoong Mortel. Taimtim na nagpasalamat sa kanya ang buong klase dahil saglit nyang mauudlot ang isang scheduled exam. Ang isyu na naman ay ang improper conduct namin sa klase ni Mr. Villanueva, sa Technical Writing. Sorry, sir, sorry. Props go to Prof. Reyes for somehow backing us up by saying that even if we're unexplainably exuberant at times, she won't deny that our class is composed of bright students.. naks na naman.. kasali bako dun? again, Sir Bong, sorry.

lazy ass in the morning, crazy crammer at night...
thursday, have no class today. pahinga. kahit marami talaga akong dapat gawin.. at basahin, gusto ko lang magpahinga. kahit may ipapasang mahabang assignment tomorrow sa POLS9, eto ko, kaharap ang pyuter kahit alas-tres na ng umaga. kasi nga, gusto kong magpahinga. ni hindi ko nga nagawang walisan ang kwarto ko kahit isang beses lang, tapos hihiga ako sa sahig na hindi nawalisan maya-maya lang. (yup! wala akong kama! ganyan po ako kadukha.. tumatanggap po ako ng donasyon.. nyehehe). ipapasa na ang sampung cases, digested na, sa saturday, pero ni wala pa kong nababasa kahit isa. naks, good luck na lang sa Intro to Law.. facts, issue, held. isang kaso = 80 pages. 10 kaso = 800 pages. ano ko? henyo?
kanina, nagmuni-muni na naman ako mag-isa. ang weird, wala kasi akong ngayong gustong tao. wala akong crush... naks. wala na pala akong crush. naisip ko nga bigla - "hala! masyado nang malala ang katamaran ko! kahit magka-crush, kinakatamaran ko na rin!".. nyehehe, corny. at saka naisip ko rin na parang.. basta, kay KIM ko lang sasabihin. Kim, tanong mo sakin ha?
ay teka, congratulate me for I have managed to finish my assignment on POLS9 just awhile ago... galing ko no? grabe, pinasakit ni Rousseau ang ulo ko.
isa na namang walang kakwenta-kwentang entry para sa araw ng Huwebes.

the value of values...
muntik nang masira ang araw ko habang pauwi ako galing school.. e kasi naman, marami akong nakitang mga katibayan na hindi na natin pinapahalagahan ang ating values. Una: nasa jeep ako, nakaupo malayo sa jeepney driver, tapos may sumakay na tatlong estudyanteng babae. Grabe, alam mo ba ang ginawa? Pinag-abot ako ng bayad kahit ang layo ko sa driver!! Maayos naman ang pagkakasabi nya, ganito: "paki-abot ng bayad." so, kahit parang naging basahan ang palda ko para lang maiabot ang kanilang bayad, inabot ko na rin nang buong puso (naks). Nung naiabot ko na, dun nako nabuwisit... ang tapang ng hiya! Hindi sila nag thank you. Pag sinabi mo bang "paki", may naka-attach na dun na isang invisible na "thank you"? Eto pa, pagka-baba ko ng jeep, may nakita akong lalaki na may bike, hinarap nya sa kabilang side ung bike nya. natamaan ng gulong ung babae na nandon malapit sa kanya (sakit non). you know what he did? wala. tiningnan nya lang yung girl na hinahawakan ung bodypart na natamaan nung bike. walang sorry, umalis siya.
thank you at sorry. hindi naman mahahabang salita di ba? so bakit parang napakahirap sabihin? bakit parang mahirap pa rin maalala? nakakainis.

My kuya made me watch one of his latest movie downloads, he said t'was some teen flick na may pagka-Charlie's Angels.. when Kuya left to head who-knows-where, I've watched it with full enthusiasm... hehe, ewan ko ba, I miss watching movies na kasi. The movie was entitled D.E.B.S, stands for Discipline, Energy, Beauty, and Strength. Comedy and Romance na hindi pambata. Uhmm.. I really don't know how am I going to present to you my own synopsis of the movie, so why don't you just go to this site and read it there. Thanks.
From what I've read, t'was a film showed last 2004 at Sundance Film Festival and re-released in selected U.S Cities last March, 2005... DVD was made available last June 7, 2005. I guess now you have to borrow my CD if you're interested in watching it, unless of course someone will bring it here. I've also read that the movie was included in the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Film Festival... wonder why? For you to know and for me not to let you know... haha! Hey Evita! I'm recommending this movie to you! Go watch it with your special someone. *wink* *wink*

an odd mix of songs...
I've already removed the songs on the featured songs area. I've replaced them with something not too mainstream and are neither too new nor too old, I'm talking about the following songs:
Inside Your Heaven - Bo Bice (CD VERSION)
Inside Your Heaven - Carrie Underwood (CD VERSION)
The Scientist (ACOUSTIC) - Coldplay
Mad World - Gary Jules
How To Deal - Frankie J
Going Crazy Remix _ Natalie
If you don't know any of these songs, then forget about downloading any of 'em. =D
That song Mad World, I know it is an old song, but I kept on hearing a new version done by a girl on Home Radio and I believe her revival can't be tagged as mediocre. Unfortunately, can't find a girl version of the song on the net, the only available dl aside from Tears for Fears (original) is the revival by Gary Jules for the movie soundtrack of Donnie Darko.
The song is so beautiful, yet haunting. It was solemnly sang yet I find it so frightening.. I dunno. I brings unwanted chills yet I'm craving for it. Weird.

I want you to know that many people are already sick of your arrogance... a**hole.

And we don't even regret doing such because you're the most deserving person of those stabs... bleed, a**hole, bleeeedd! ha-ha!!
Alam mo bang mas may silbi pa sayo ang isang basahan?

different thoughts...
[ studies first ]
statistics, first subject... ho-hum. next! Quiz in Speech 2, got 19/20, watched a copycat presentation of a report. BREAK for one and half hour, used the hour on E-Lib while the remaining 30 minutes were spent in the library. Shitty FEU library, I had to throw away my bottled drink just to be able to get inside.. don't they know I've spent 19pesos for that 500ml Mountain Dew? Konti pa lang naiinom ko dun no... shitty talaga. After doing the pretentious act of literally just flipping the photocopied pages of the Family Code of the Phil., I've headed for AB 308, and rejoiced with the whole class after finding out that Ms. Gemzon wasn't around.

Nagmamadali akong umuwi kanina para marami pa akong maabutang peeps sa birthday party ni Leiz. Umuwi muna ako ng bahay para magpalit ng damit from school uniform to casual wear, then off to Pasong Tirad na. Luckily, but still a little bit unfortunate for me, naabutan ko pa sa kanto si Franz, kasama sina Dan and Ferwen na naghatid sa kanya. Ayun, umuwi na sya, kami namang tatlo, bumalik sa selebrasyong idinaraos sa Primo Rivera St. Marami palang dumating na bisita, kasama na ang *bestfriend* (hehe. jwk lng.) ni Leiz na si Zyrinne... she's more beautiful pala in person, good choice leiz.. hehe. Andun din sina Reylyn & Xyza. Ang kulet ni Bert, sayaw ng sayaw, a bit tipsy na kasi eh. May model pa-epek pa with matching pakikipag-asaran with Jake. Andun din si Aaron. sayang, sana mas napaaga pa ko, I could've witnessed some more action siguro... actions of what sort? ewan. nyahaha, nah, just kiddin'! Conversations habang hinihintay dumating sina Kim and Leo na nanggaling pa palang Bulacan para lang ihatid si Zyrinne! All in the name of love... love for a bestfriend! naks. =D Had a serious and personal conversation with Dan while with Bert, more on politics and studies. Pinagtripan pa si Oria! Abangan ang kanyang scandal! wahaha! Ayun, umuwi na kami ni Bert nang 2:30 AM, ung iba, naiwan at dun daw sila matutulog. Gusto ko sanang mag-stay pa but Bert is really sleepy na ata, e sya lang ang pwede kong kasabay at ayokong umuwing mag-isa, so, ayun, umuwi na kami.
wow, detalyado kwento ko di ba? antok na ko. bukas na lang ulet...

Exerpts from: The Manila Times:
FORMER President Joseph Estrada will head a national council that will take over the reins of government after President Arroyo is ousted, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada said Thursday.
I know that could be possible, Jinggoy, but is it LEGAL? I don't think so. This is not movie world Jinggoy, welcome to the real world. We don't need such ridiculous suggestions or ideas and we won't even bother to reconsider.
Asked who would head the council, he replied: "Erap."
Aha! I knew it! A horror flick for a change. Now I know who are the actors, I wonder who's the director...
"Congress will be abolished, the Supreme Court will be revamped, and charges will be filed against Mrs. Arroyo and members of her family," he said. "I don't know what role Susan will play, but she will remain our inspiration."
Translation: There will be no rule anymore. Representatives of the people will be moved out of our way. We will kill democracy. That's how much we love power and money. And oh, we will revive guillotine for the execution of the Arroyo's. Susan? Who's Susan?
"We were jailed although there was no evidence against us and the only witness was a confessed jueteng operator," Jinggoy said, alluding to Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis Singson.
Translation: We don't deserve jailtime! Ask the 11 million strong supporters of my father about it, for they are the real source of power, aren't they? Even if in reality, we're just using them to feed our greed. Stupid people. They will stay as poor as they are and we won't even try to educate them, it's they're down right stupidity who had brought us here, so why cure it? Anyway, about our plunder case, we will insist that there's no strong evidence against us besides from that balimbing Singson... we've kept it all well hidden, we're just so good at deceiving people, don't you think? That Singson is shit, we shouldn't have made a deal with him. Well, yun lang naman ang mali namin eh..
He said the revolutionary government would rule for about a year, before allowing democratic elections to take place.
About a year? No definite time, Jinggoy? That's way too scary.
Several leaders from Cebu, Pampanga, Mindanao and the Ilocos region, however, have warned that they would not obey any government installed through extraconstitutional means. They said they would not allow "imperial Manila" to dictate what should be followed in the entire country, arguing that Manila is not the Philippines.
At last, our people are beginning to think. Let us unite to revive our country. Let us not contribute anymore for the further downfall of our country, our beloved country.
