hiatus... haaay.

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...

samu't saring kwento... hmm..

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.

[ siya at ikaw ]
this story involves 4 people.

siya... mahal ko talaga siya. alam nya rin yun na kahit paano, nagawa nyang suklian ng lahat ng kaya nyang ibigay, hindi siya naging madamot, alam ko, mahal nya rin ako. kaya lang, nakakapagod din maghintay sa wala.. sa isang bagay na alam mong hindi darating dahil alam kong hindi ibibigay kahit ilang beses ko pa hilingin o hingin. kahit alam nya at alam ko na pwede.. hindi lang talaga dapat... hindi na talaga dapat.

ikaw... nandoon ka nung mga panahong akala ko, wala nang pag-asa. ikaw ung nagpuno sa pagmamahal na dapat, sa kanya galing. pinakita mong nandyan ka lang... ikaw kasi, wala kang takot sa sasabihin ng iba. yayakapin mo ako kahit saan, kahit kailan, dahil wala kang pag-aalangan. matapang ka... ang tapang na meron ka ay ang tapang na hindi nya naipakita. mahal mo ako, hindi nagawang kalimutan... kahit ilang araw ang magdaan, kahit ako na ang parang hindi maka-alala, bibigyan mo pa rin ako ng konting panahon mo.

siya ba o ikaw? ikaw na lang kaya.
siguro dapat, magpaalam na ako sa kanya.
oras na rin naman.

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.

An article from Sun-Star daily newspaper ...
By Melanie T. Lim, June 2, 1999

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...

mama's arrival and vida's birthday

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?

sick in the stomach...

[ o n e ]
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.

[ t w o ]
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.

[ f o u r ]
promise, no name bashing anymore in the coming entries.

"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.

[ whooo-hoo!! ]
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.

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.

[ currently... ]

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. Ang corny ko na... ikaw kasi eh.

will blog, will blog...

thanks to kuya mark, I will now write something about Sunday's alay-lakad from PICC to Quirino grand stand. I will present it in some sort of a timeline:

9:00 - 10:30 PM, Saturday

got home from school, eaten dinner, took a bath, prepared things, talked with some family members.

11:00 PM

arrived at Leo's place, watched TV for awhile, discussed with Gwen, Leo and Kim where we'll be going because gwen is gustong gumala.. hehe.. ei gwen, thanks again for everything.. will never forget you... *sniff, sniff* huhuhu..

12 - 3:30 AM, Sunday

Boysie's Bar, watched naughty things, admired someone who happened to be uhmm..never mind.., danced for awhile, sipped mango shake, changed black shirt to clue shirt

4:00 AM - 6:00 AM

in front of Aliw Theatre, waited for the VIP's to arrive, a few showed up, many got lost (note: aliw theatre daw ang meeting place, at EXACTLY 4AM daw), hurried to go to our line

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.

9:00 - 10:00 AM

mark, I and dave agreed to eat somewhere, found greenwich, ate there. talked about a lot of things...

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

we parted ways, I waited for the rain to subside even just a lttle coz I don't have an umbrella with me and I don't wanna go home wet. rain subsided, so I ran to reach the jeep terminal from crossing to guadalupe

6:30 PM

got home, didn't feel like eating so I went straight to bed.

2:00 PM, Monday

finally, racquel woke up... coz guianne called.

the end.

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.
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.
