THIS BLOG IS INACTIVE.

2008-05-16T23:28:00.002+08:00

Okaaay? Bisitahin niyo na lang ako doon kapag may time kayo. Pakipalitan na din 'yung link. Salamat.

At, oo. I miss you, too. Wahe.

Si Meryl...

2008-05-01T13:00:00.001+08:00

...ay tinatamad nang mag-post ng blog entries dito sa Blogger. Mas enjoy at mas madami siyang friends sa Multiply. Ewan ba niya, parang mas kumportable siya doon, kumpleto na kasi: blog, photos, videos, music, calendar, reviews, etc. Kaya kung wala nang maging kasunod ang blog entry na ito, ibig sabihin ay napagdesisyunan na niyang manatili sa Multiply. Eh basta, dun niyo na lang ako dalawin. Usually eh, naka-for everyone naman ang mga posts ko doon, 'yun nga lang hindi kayo makakapag-comment.

Nine months lang ang itinagal ng pagbabalik ko dito. Hehe. Hindi man lang umabot ng November para sa 4th birthday ng blog ko.

So... I guess this is goodbye... :(

Love.

2008-04-25T07:45:00.002+08:00

What is the best feeling in the world? Sus. Love na naman? Puro kayo love. Tsk. Ang best feeling in the world eh 'yung maaga ka gumising. Nakaligo ka na, nakabihis ka na din. As in paalis ka na talaga, tapos may magtetext ng...

CI: Good morning! Sorry I can't come on duty today. Sama ng migraine ko. Pls. pass to your groupmates. 'Yung requirement, pakidala na lang sa center next week, Monday. Thanks.
Me: Walang pasok, ma'am? Sige po.
CI: Oy! Huwag masyado matuwa! Basta 'yung requirement, Monday niyo dalhin sa dialysis center. Assign niyo na lang kung sino magdadala dun. Huwag pumuntang school ha, di nila alam.
Me: Haha. Hindi ko na nga pina-obvious na natuwa ako, ma'am. Sige po, natext ko na sila. :)
CI: Ok. Make sure na informed at nagreply lahat ha. Si James, walang cel yata 'yun. Sige, text mo ko after, ok?

Naman! Sabi na nga ba... kaya tinamad ako gumawa ng requirements kagabi. Hahaha. Kaya lang mga pesteng groupmates, ayaw man lang magreply nung iba kahit "K." lang. Tsk.

Paranoia.

2008-04-20T02:00:00.002+08:00

Ginawa ko itong entry na ito last Friday, April 18, 2008 at tingnan natin kung kusa nga siyang magpo-post gamit ito:

Sana mag-auto post din sa Multiply. :|

Apparently, hindi nag-work ang scheduled post publishing! Dapat kaninang madaling araw pa 'to eh. Tsk tsk. Boo! Loser! Loser!

---

A week has passed and nothing happened! Imagine! Walang nangyari. Haaay. I guess na-paranoid lang talaga ako. Masaya na ako ngayon. Sana naman maging okay na ang lahat. :D

---

Kumusta naman? Well, I've been busy... hiding. Haha. For some reason eh naiilang akong gamitin ang term na "busy" kasi naman parang hindi naman talaga ako busy kapag sinabi kong busy ako. Let's just say, I'm doing more than the usual stuff tulad ng pagpasok sa school at pagsurvey para sa thesis pero other than that, pwede akong pumasa sa pagka-bum with flying colors! :|

Feeling ko nga hindi naman ako nawala kasi lagi ko pa din naman ka-chat ang ibang bloggers at active naman ako sa pagpo-post ng pics sa Multiply. Dito lang talaga sa Blogger ako naging inactive.

Oh well, 'yun lang. I'm back, I'm back.

---

Naging productive ang morning ko today which is quite unusual. Haha. My mornings are usually spent doing nothing while sipping a cup of coffee. Pero iba ngayon. Haha. Nag-drive ako kung saan-saan at tapos nag-wax ako ng sasakyan! Wow, improving! Hahaha. 'Yun lang. 'Yun lang ang bago. Haha. Improvement na para sa akin 'yun. Mahirap mag-wax ng sasakyan ha! Ang yabang niyo!

I'm trying not to think about you.

Walang koneksyon ang title. Wala lang akong maisip. :|

Nasaan si Meryl? Nagtatago. :|

Kelangan ko muna magpaalam. Dito sa blog. Sa Multiply. Sa lahat ng online chorvaloo. Haha. As if matitiis ko. Hmm. Let's just say, pass muna ako sa paggawa ng blog entries at pagbisita sa mga sites niyo. Medyo nawawalan lang ako ng gana magkwento. May mga bagay na kelangan ayusin kahit na hindi ko alam kung paano. Mga taong kelangan harapin kahit mahirap. Yuck. Drama. (Pa-burger ka naman!)

I'll be back when I'm back. So... later.

12 hours.

2008-04-11T18:00:00.003+08:00

"Robot ka Meryl. Hindi ka tao."

The guy who told me this will be out of the "institution" he's been in.

Seriously. Not a laughing matter.

12 long hours.

This week. Next week. I really don't know.

Good thing my friend, Warren, informed me or I would've no idea. Gah! I don't know what to do. I can't even describe what I'm feeling. More than afraid? Yes, I think that's appropriate enough.

Okay. I have to go hide now.

Question is where?

"It's just a phase. It will be over soon."

I hope you're right, Brandon. Hay.

Traffic.

2008-04-07T17:45:00.002+08:00

Hay. Wala na namang magawa.

Kaya pagkatapos magbasa ng lahat ng pwedeng basahin sa Multiply, mag-update sa Twitter, mag-ignore ng mga App Invites sa Friendster, mag-check ng Yahoo mail, Google mail, at lahat ng pwedeng i-check malabanan lang ang boredom...

Haha. Nakakaawa naman akong pakinggan. So, 'yun nga, after ko maggawa lahat ng 'yun, bored pa din ako, kaya naisipan kong i-check 'yung Analytics account ko sa Google.

Weird. Haha. Marunong naman siguro kayo tumingin ng graph, noh? LOL. Oh ayun, 'yung referring sites karamihan sa mga cbox ng other blogs nanggaling. Natawa ako doon sa search engines. Haha. Ano naman kamo ang ni-search nila at napunta sila sa blog ko?

Sam YG - Pambihira naman oh! Hindi ko jowa si Sam YG, although kung bibigyan ng chance eh papayag naman ako. Walang pakipot involved. :D
Thesis Proposal - Malamang naghahanap ng makokopyang thesis 'tong batang 'to. Pasensha na at hindi kita natulungan, eh kahit nga ako hindi pa tapos sa thesis ko. Tulungan pa kita?
Ano ang IVF? - Ay nako. Bakit naman napadpad ka pa sa site ko? Sana ni-click mo na lang ang unang website na lumabas nung nag-search ka.
Baklese - Oh no. Kumakalat na talaga ang pagkabading ko. No, no, no.
Charlson Ong - Sino naman 'to? Ang kilala ko lang na Ong ay si Bob. Hmpft.

Ayan. See. May nagawa na naman ako. Haha. Exciting. After nito, wala na naman akong gagawin. Haaay.

Natuwa naman ako at medyo naging kapaki-pakinabang ang afternoon ko. Haha. Oy, kayo ha, matagal ko din ginawa 'tong entry na 'to. Ka-chat ko pa kasi 'yung mga hayskul friends ko.

Hello Cindy, Caloy, Deo. :)

---

Hmm. Starting tomorrow, medyo hindi na ako ganun kadalas makakapag-online at makakabisita sa sites niyo. Start na ulit ang classes eh. So 'yun. See you when I see you. :| Weh.

Multitasking.

2008-04-05T01:29:00.001+08:00

Two days ago (ewan ko ba, basta), online ako at ang isang blogger na itago natin sa pangalang Faith. :) Well, madaling araw pa din naman ngayon at online pa din ako pero basta nangyari 'to. Weh, may explanation pa talaga.

Ang status ko sa YM ay: Pakiusap: Huwag maingay. Tulog.
'Yung kanya naman: Downloading Gossip Girl e-books.

Me: waw. ang tiyaga mo naman. haha.
Faith: hahaha.
Me: ilang books na ba meron?
Faith: i dunno.. 6? 7? haha. 1 pa nga lang nahahanap ko
Me: hehehe. kakagaling ko lang ng mall kanina tapos nakita ko nga yung books.
Me: three books per set eh tapos 3 sets na. so 9. hehehe. 9 na yata. kung tama akong 3 sets lang.
Faith: ahh
Faith: haha
Faith: hindi siguro complete ung nakita ko
Faith: gusto ko mabasa ung prequel!
Me: ohh. di ko lang din alam. hehe.
Me: o sige sige, magDL ka na dyan. nagulat lang kasi ako sa status mo. hehe.
Faith: nagulat rin ako kasi tulog ka hehe
Me: hehe. multitasking. sleeping while surfing the net at chatting.
Faith: haha great
Me: well... thanks thanks.

Nag-reunion na naman kami. 6th album na ito pero actually 8th time na yata namin mag-reunion. Anyway, click niyo na lang ITICH.

Ayoko pa mag-Tuesday. Haaay.

2008-04-02T01:03:00.001+08:00

April 1, 2008.

Sobrang bored talaga ako kaninang umaga. Paggising ko pa lang, para na akong Twitter: "What are you doing?" Ang malaking tanong ko naman ay "What am I gonna do?" Sus. Loser talaga. Bum na bum ang dating. Haaay. Medyo nabo-bore na kasi ako sa Prison Break (Season 2, Episode 16 pa din ako) kaya pahinga muna ako doon. May isang book pa ako na hindi nababasa pero tinatamad ako. Hay talaga. So naisipan ko na lang magsoundtrip. Ang lakas talaga ng volume. Coldplay’s Parachutes, A Rush of Blood To The Head, Vanessa Carlton’s Harmonium, tsaka Jason Mraz’s Waiting For My Rocket To Come. Haha. Naghalungkat kasi ako ng mga old school CDs dito sa bahay.

Tapos wala na din akong magawa sa net. Napagtripan ko tuloy ‘yung status sa YM. Kung anu-ano ni-type ko.

"And it's okay if you have to go away. Oh just remember the telephone works both ways. And if I never ever hear them ring… Lalala."
"Oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie. Lalala."
- Ito nung nagsa-soundtrip ako.

"Let’s drink! Watch a movie! Just get me out of the house!!"
- Ito naman nung sobrang desperada na ako umalis ng bahay.

"Lesgowsagow! Kanina ko pa gusto umalis ng bahay!! Woohoo!!!"
- Ito naman noong niyaya na ako nina Sannie at Bry.

"Hindi dapat naniniwala sa mga bloggers na magla-launch ng '.com' sa April 1. Loser talaga. Tsk."
- Ito naman nung nadiskubre kong ang inaabangan kong launching ay isang malaking April Fools' joke lang pala. Takte.

"Aalis, umaalis, umalis."
- Ito 'yung favorite ko sa lahat. Haha. Self-explanatory na naman siguro.

---

So, nagpunta nga kami sa mall nina Bryan at Sannie. Kumain, nanood ng movie. 10000BC. Alam ko matagal nang showing 'yung movie, at oo, ngayon ko lang napanood. Boring pa din. Sabi ko nga, "Sana hindi na lang ako umalis ng bahay at si Michael Scofield na lang pinanood ko." Hay naman.

Tinatamad na pala ako magkwento. Sabi nga nila, pictures paint a thousand words, so...
CLICK!

Go make your next choice, be your best choice.

Me: My, halika bilis, may papakilala ko sa'yo.

Me: Boypren ko.
Ermats: Anu ba naman 'yan. Ang daming tattoo.
Me: Keri na 'yan. Hot naman.
Ermats: Sabagay, cute siya.

Hahaha. Nako naman. Cute lang daw?! Hot nga eh, hot!

After ng ilang moments ng pagninilay-nilay, naisipan ko nang gumawa ng Shelfari account. Ayoko na sana ng madaming accounts kasi hindi ko naman naaasikaso masyado, pero nag-enjoy naman ako. Masaya naman. Haha.

Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

Goodbye boredom.

2008-03-26T23:05:00.002+08:00

Hello Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous live of Manhattan's elite. Okay, okay. Sorry! Hangover.

---

Galing sa drafts nung naka-hiatus pa ako. Hindi ko alam kung babalik na ba ako... Haha. Oh well, 'eto na nga ako eh. So, I guess I'm back.

Sunday night. March 23, 2008.
Tinext ko ito sa mga friends ko na nanghiram/pinahiram ko ng books.

Pakidala 'yung book ko ah. Kung tapos ka na. Thanks!

Monday morning. March 24, 2008.
Naunang nagsoli ng book si Xiao, Paulo Coelho's The Valkyries.

Then, nakita ko si Mark, sinoli niya 'yung Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, at may additional pa! Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven! Waw. Wooh! Thanks. Yay! Dati niya pa sinabing huwag ko daw bibilihin 'yung book kasi siya daw magbibigay sakin. Well, 'yun nga lang, hindi niya binili... kinuha niya sa sister niya. Manu! Haha. Err... dapat pa nga ba akong mag-thank you?

Well, tapos si Lykes, sinoli niya 'yung Louie Cano's Baklese: Pinoy Pop Queer Dictionary, at Paulo Coelho's The Devil and Miss Prym.

So, akala ko maiuuwi ko na 'yung mga books ko... I was wrong. Hiniram ni Lykes 'yung The Valkyries, at ni Raquel naman 'yung Baklese: Pinoy Pop Queer Dictionary at 'yung Tuesdays with Morrie. Tsk, kulang na lang pati 'yung binigay ni Mark kunin nila...

After, nag-reunion na naman kaming apat sa bahay naman ni Din. Nadagdagan 'yung gagawin ko. Pinahiram niya ko ng book, Adeline Yen Mah's Chinese Cinderella. Masaya naman, mukhang malungkot 'yung book. :P Yeah.

At... 3 seasons ng Prison Break. Woohoo!

Goodbye boredom, hello Wentworth Miller. Yeah! Cheers to piracy!

On hiatus.

2008-03-19T13:10:00.001+08:00

Oo alam kong weird kasi online ako all day everyday kapag may classes tapos ngayon namang bakasyon tsaka ako magha-hiatus. Weird. Pero may reason naman ako:

Madami nang nakapilang DVDs dito sa bahay.

Waw, pare ang bigat. Haha. Currently nanonood ako ng Season 2 ng Criminal Minds. After that, Gossip Girl naman. Then, kung may magbibili sa akin ng Prison Break (ehem) at ng Naruto (ehem ulit), 'yun ang kasunod. :)

So, basically medyo tinatamad akong mag-blog. Haha. Bibisita pa din naman ako sa mga sites niyo, promise. :) Sige, 'yun lang.

---

Anu ba kayo. Mas oks na itong nagpaalam ako kesa naman last time bigla na lang akong nawala. Keri na 'yan!

Itnok!

2008-03-11T14:29:00.002+08:00

Topak na naman ang mga hayskul prends ko, this morning napag-usapan namin ang Itnok. Kumain kasi ~~kami~~ sila ng Itnok after namin mag-inom noong reunion last March 8, 2008.

Click niyo muna ITO para sa naunang usapan namin tungkol sa WORD. Kung ayaw niyo, okay lang. Basahin niyo na lang ito...

Bryan: Gusto ko kumain nung Itnok. :'(
Sannie: Shet. Itnok na naman!
Bryan: Bakit ganun? Matagal na namang may Itnok, bakit noong Sabado ko lang nalaman na masarap pala 'yun? :(
Sannie: Minsan kasi, Bry, kung saan-saan ka tumitingin. Kung anu-ano hinahanap mo. Di mo na-realize na 'yung magandang bagay, andiyan lang pala sa tabi mo.
Bryan: Honga. Ang tagal nang nasa harap ko ng isang magandang bagay, pero hanggang tingin lang ako. :(
Sannie: Eh bakit nga wala kang ginawa? Bakit di ka gumawa ng paraan para makuha mo 'yung mgandang bagay.
Bryan: Kasi alam kong kahit anong gawin ko, di ko makukuha 'yung magandang bagay na 'yun.
Sannie: Ganun? Kaya okay ka na sa noodles na chicken or beef? Di mo na ni-try pansinin 'yun Itnok?
Me: Siguro hanggang ganun na lang talaga kayo. There's no such thing as not meant to be. You two were meant just for a while. Hayaan mo na. Let go. Just be thankful na natikman mo ang Itnok. Haaay. So Sad. Nakakaiyak naman kumain ng Itnok. :'( Eh ako nga hindi ko natikman ang Itnok eh.
Bryan: Actually, pinansin ko 'yung Itnok. Long, way way back before. Pero may may-ari kaya no choice ako. Di naman kasi akin...
Me: Hindi naman pala sa'yo eh. Hayaan mo, hahanap tayo ng Itnok para sa'yo... Eventually, makikita mo siya, Itnok na para lang sa'yo. Kelangan mo lang ng time.
Sannie: Pero kung kaya pa ipaglaban at kung posible pa, go! At least inalam mo kung hanggang saan mo kayang ipaglaban ang Itnok.
Bryan: Kakaiba yata 'yung pagkakaluto ng Itnok na 'yun, espesyal kesa sa iba kaya napakahirap kalimutan. :( Ayokong maghanap, mapapagod ako... Alam niyo namang napakatamad ko. :)
Bryan: Sinubukan kong ipaglaban ang Itnok dati.
Me: Mahirap kapag ikaw lang ang may gustong ipaglaban. Kung ayaw naman ng Itnok, wala din. Kahit ano pang pilit mo. Haaay, ang Itnok nga naman.
Bryan: Ngayon kaya, makikita na ako ng Itnok?
Sannie: Malay mo Bry, hindi naman pala talaga Itnok ang para sa'yo. Dahil mas nararapat sa'yo ang Jjampong.
Sannie: Para matagpuan ng taong nararapat sa kanya.
Bryan: Kung sa akin lang napunta ang Itnok, iluluto ko siya ng tama. di hilaw at di rin naman sobrang lambot.
Sannie: Tapos?
Bryan: Nag-Jjampong na din ako... Medyo matagal na 'yun, akala ko masaya na ko sa Jjampong, kaso nang natikman ko ulit ang Itnok... Wapaaak!
Sannie: Malay mo naman Bry, niluto din siya ng tama nung napuntahan niya.
Bryan: Siguro tama 'yung luto noong una, pero na-overcooked nitong huli...
Me: Wait lang. Mag-exam muna ko! To be continued mamya! Wait lang...
Sannie: Aww. Kawawa naman 'yung Itnok. Pero baka doon siya masaya. Kaya okay lang kahit overcooked.
Bryan: 'Yun nga eh. Mukhang doon masaya ang Itnok kahit na overcooked siya, kaya I don't see any reason para ipaglaban ang Itnok tulad ng sabi mo kanina.
Sannie: Sabagay... May point... kapag ba overcooked, wala nang pwedeng gawin para bumalik sa normal?
Bryan: Di ko alam eh, baka pwedeng tanggalin 'yung sabaw tapos ibilad sa araw at maging tuyong nudols ulit? Ewan...

Logic.

2008-03-10T20:48:00.005+08:00

3:00 am. Paalis na ako ng bahay papuntang duty sa Fabella. 6:00am - 2:00pm kasi 'yung shift namin, tapos 4:00am dapat naandoon sa meeting place.

Ermats: Talagang hindi mo na nilinis 'yang sapatos mo, noh? Basta ka na lang nakasuot.
Me: Malinis naman 'yan noong tinago ko ah. Malinis pa naman ngayon. Tsaka lilinisin pa, madudumihan din naman. Sayang effort.
Ermats: Loka loka! Mga dahilan mo ha.
Me: Mabuti nang tamad! Hindi naman pagod.
Ermats: Ah, ewan! Lumakad ka na nga!!

May point naman ako, di ba?

Click!

Rock the vote.

2008-03-09T05:11:00.004+08:00

Kailangan ko ng honest na opinyon niyo kung alin sa dalawang ito ang mas maganda. Basta bumoto ko na lang. Tutal binabasa mo na 'to.

Ito ba?

O ito ba?

Basta isa d'yan gawa ko, 'yung isa naman... well, hindi na importante. Haha. Actually, ako nakaisip n'yan talaga. Basta bumoto muna kayo.

Ginawa namin 'yan sa mini reunion kahapon, March 8, 2008. :)

2008-03-06T21:35:00.000+08:00

Sa Fabella hospital na naman kami assigned kanina, tsaka bukas pa pala. 6:00am - 2:00pm kami. At... 4:00am aalis ng Cavite. Naman! Hello? Sayang kaya 'yung mga laway na itutulo ko pa at 'yung mga mutang mafo-form. Tsk, tsk. Ang aga! Third time this sem na kami sa Fabella.

Since masipag na estudyante naman ako, gumising ako ng maaga at pumasok, pagdating namin ng Fabella, bakit ganoon? Parang shocked sila na nandoon kami. Haha. Sabi ni Ma'am Sheila (na naging CI na namin dati), "Nag-breakfast na ba kayo? Mag-breakfast muna kayo. Hindi ko alam kung sinong assigned sa inyo eh."

Wahahaha. Balik kami ng van, natulog, kumain, nag-coffee, nagkwentuhan. Nagkwentuhan kami ng mga movies, lahat na yata napag-usapan namin, hanggang napunta sa 300. Sumingit naman si manong driver, hehe, pinagyabang 'yung message alert tone niya, "Spartans, what's your profession? Ahoo, ahoo, ahoo!" Nakipag-payabangan naman ako kay Kuya Noel ('yung driver ng van namin), haha. Nag-bluetooth-an kami. Haha. Nako naman. Nakakatamad talaga kanina. Sayang 'yung paggising ko ng maaga.

---

Rewind, rewind.

Kahapon, Revalida/Return Demo Galore namin. Swerte ako dahil madaling procedure ang nabunot ko at sa mabait na CI pa. Perfect. After, pumunta kami kina Mark, kasi pinagluto niya kami. Tapos after ulit, dinalaw naman namin si Niño sa bahay.

---

Sayang, may get-together yata kina Niño sa Saturday, hindi ako makakasama kasi mag-reunion kami ng mga hayskul prends ko, madami kami, apat! Woohoo. :)

---

Okay, walang kwenta. Pwedeng hindi mag-comment. Haha.

Thesis proposal.

2008-03-04T11:17:00.005+08:00

Magkakagrupo kami sa thesis nina Ariane, Raquel, at Mark. Kung masipag kayo bumisita sa blog ko, malamang kilala niyo na sila sa sobrang dalas ko sila ikwento. Oh well, pinag-submit kami ng thesis proposal last Friday.

Last Friday
Us: Ma'am, 'eto na po 'yung proposal namin.
Dra. Ayuyao: Bakit ayos na 'yang thesis niyo?
Us: Ano pong ayos na?
Dra. Ayuyao: 'Yung format maayos na! Hindi ko pa naman kayo tinuturuan ng format ah.
Us: Tiningnan po namin 'yung ibang thesis para sa format.
Dra. Ayuyao: Hay nako, mga adelentada kayong mga estudyante.
Us: Ma'am, ano po, pwede na po ba 'yan?
Dra. Ayuyao: Hay nako. Huwag niyo ko kausapin, galit ako sa inyo.

Bumalik kami ni Raquel kahapon para magsubmit ulit ng proposal.

Yesterday
Us: Ma'am, isa-submit lang po namin 'to.
Dra. Ayuyao: Okay. *smiles*
Us: Iwan na lang po namin?
Dra. Ayuyao: Sige, iwan niyo na lang.

Pareho lang ang content ng pinasa namin. Ang pinagkaiba? Noong una, nakalagay sa bond paper, computerized, sobrang ayos ng format. Yung pangalawa, yellow pad, handwritten, syempre magulo.

Akala talaga namin hindi na kami kakausapin ni Dra. Ayuyao kasi sobrang galit siya noong Friday. Tapos ngayon, pangit-ngiti pa. Haha.

Crazy, crazy world.

Don't say goodbye, say goodnight.

2008-03-02T23:14:00.002+08:00

Someone tried to call me at 2:00am, the ringing woke me up, I saw his name, but I didn't answer his call. I knew he was leaving. Maybe he called to say goodbye. I don't like goodbyes.

Me: Wassup? Ginsing mo naman ako eh. Bakit ka tumatawag?
Him: Nagbakasakali lang.
Me: Nagbakasakali na ano?
Him: Gising ka pa. Kahit na I'm sure hindi ka na pwedeng lumabas.
(Syempre, hindi nako pwedeng lumabas, 2:00am na kaya.)
Me: May sasabihin ka ba? Sabihin mo na... para makatulog na ulit ako.
Him: Uhm, wala. Sige, matulog ka na ulit.

Pero weird kasi hindi sila magkakasama. Magkakahiwalay 'yung aksidente. Sobrang weird. Okay naman 'yung dalawa. Medyo nagasgasan lang 'yung mga sasakyan nila. 'Yung isa naman, nasa ICU ngayon. Fractured ribs, clavicle. Hemothorax.

Please pray for him. I do hope he'll be okay.

Baklese: Pinoy Pop Queer Dictionary by Louie Cano

Haha. Now I know kung bakit tawa ng tawa si Xiao noong nakita niya 'yung book. :P Mayroong english Introduction at pagkatapos noon ang Jutella Entrada Tienes (which I suppose ay ang gay translation ng Introduction). Haha. 'Eto 'yung nabasa niya kung bakit siya tawa ng tawa:

Hola, mga badutch, ecla-voo, King Kong Barbies, at mga brusko pink na di pa bukella! Mga sisteraca y maderakah de España, mga botomesa de Sta. Mesa, mga pretenciosang alitap-top ng Taft, mga bebang of Alabang, mga ineng ng Kamuning, mga pa-mhintang buo at durog ng Greenhills, sa lahat ng mga vhaklers kung saan-saan at kung anik-anik pa! Iteching ang first evahfonda lexicon (talatinigan, nini, as in dictionary lowkah) ng mga tienes ng mga syofatidz mo.

Haha. At first paragraph pa lang 'yan ng Introduction. After ng Introduction ay 'yung Acknowledgments, then 'yung dictionary proper na. Maiksi lang 'yung book, 33 pages pero okay na. Sobrang tawa ako ng tawa, hindi ko agad nahawakan 'yung book kasi pinagkaguluhan ng groupmates ko.

Xiao, thank you ulit. :)

---

May note nga pala si Xiao sa first page noong book:

Meryl,
Belated Merry Christmas! Hope you'd master the art and science of Gay Lingo! Hahaha.

I had a busy day yesterday. Haggard na nga the day before dahil sa preparation for the case presentation.
Two hours of sleep.
Went to school early only to find out we'll be presenting at 1:00pm pa.
Tambay sa dorm.
Pumunta sa bahay ng friend, former classmate ko, na si Melvyn dahil namatay 'yung mommy niya.

Na-weird-an ako kay Melvyn kasi noong pauwi na kami, sumilip syempre ako sa coffin ng mommy niya...
Melvyn: Ma, si Meryl, classmate ko.
Me: (medyo naguluhan) Hello, good evening po.
Melvyn: Na-meet mo na naman mommy ko dati, di ba? On the spot...
Me: Haha. Oo, bigla kaming pumunta sa inyo tapos nakapagluto na agad siya ng pansit on the spot. Haha. Ang sarap nga nun eh.
Melvyn: Ma, 'eto classmate ko, si Warrski.
Warren: Good evening po.
Melvyn: Ma, sige alis na daw sila.
Me: Sige po, alis na po kami.

Weird, weird day.

Oo, iyan lang ang tinulog ko habang hinihintay ang e-mail ng mga groupmates ko kaninang umaga. Kahapon, pag-uwi ko pa lang yata ng bahay ng 12:00nn, OL na ako hanggang 4:00am kaninang umaga. Tapos 6:00am, gumising nako kasi kailangan na pumasok. Hay.

---

Nakuha ko na 'yung book na gift sa akin ni Xiao! Haha. Sabi na nga ba, kalokohan. Hahaha. Magpo-post sana ako tungkol doon sa book pero tinamad ako bigla. Bukas na lang...

Sige, at ako'y matutulog na. For sure, namiss ako ng kama ko. :)

Kanina pagbukas ko ng Friendster, the usual: friend requests, comments, at mga pesteng App invites. Isa pa sa mga kinaiinisan ko ay ang mga flooders ng Bulletin Board. Hay nako. Sa susunod, magsuntukan na lang kayo kung gusto niyo ng away! Hahaha.

Click niyo na lang 'yung mga names nila para bisitahin ang Friendster accounts nila. Kayo na bahala magbasa. :P

Nagtext sa'kin si Xiao kanina:

Xiao: Neng, dito ako SM, National (Bookstore). May binili akong book para sa'yo. Nakakatawa talaga. Excited na'ko ibigay sa'yo. Haha. Nakakatawa.
Me: Waw. Ang swit mo naman! Baka naman kabastusan yan ha! Loka. Waw, na-touch naman ako. Haha.
Xiao: Tawa ako ng tawa, mag-isa pa naman ako. Nasa grocery si Mama. Baka akala ng mga tao abnormal ako. Babalutin ko muna para Belated Merry Christmas! Nyahaha.
Me: Haha. Loka. Anu ba 'yan?
Xiao: Basta! 'Eto naman. Walang ka-ele-element of surprise! Bukas nga!
Me: Ok! Fine! Labyu!

Hay nako Xiao, medyo kinakabahan ako sa book na 'yan ha. Umayos ka.

UPDATE
Nabanggit ko na dati na medyo ~~bothered~~ curious ako sa mga page views sa Friendster ko. Haha. Madami na naman siya, mas madami compared dati (97 'yung dati) at February 20 pa lang ngayon.

Amnesia.

2008-02-18T00:00:00.002+08:00

I'm beginning to think I really have amnesia(?). I was chatting with my classmate back in high school. Ang dami na naming napagkwentuhan (hindi ko ie-elaborate kasi baka mahulaan ng mga friends ko sa Multiply, haha). So, kwentuhan nga, hanggang umabot kami dito:

Him: naalala mo pa nun magkatabi tayo sa classroom?
Him: hehe
Him: dun tayo malapit sa aircon
Me: oo naman, medyo malapit sa dulo.
Him: haha
Me: hahaha.
Him: may hindi ako makalimutan na insidente nun
Me: ano yun?
Him: nung naka jogging pants ako
Him: ay nakalimutan mo na cguro
Him: buti naman
Him: hahaha
Me: hahahaha!
Me: ano yun???
Him: uhmmm... yung lumabas yung bird ko sa pants tapos nakita mo
Him: hahaha
Him: buti nalang nakalimutan mo na
Me: hahahaha!
Me: hindi ko na maalala!!
Him: buti nalang
Him: kaya hindi ko makalimutan yun kaw yata unang babae na nakakita nun, tapos sumigaw ka pa nga
Him: HOY (insert name here)!!!!
Me: what!?
Me: di ko na maalala talaga.
Him: oo
Me: bakit ganun???
Him: haha
Him: buti nalang
Him: tulog ako nun, wala tayo prof, eh malamig nun
Him: basta nag unat lang ako eh umangat t shirt ko
Him: eh ayun galit si manoy
Him: lumabas ng pants eh nakatayo ako nun nag unat
Me: talaga??
Him: opo
Him: hahaha
Him: hehe
Him: buti nalang hindi mo naalala
Him: hehe
Me: bwisit.
Me: makakalimutin na ba talaga ako?
Me: sobrang ndi ko maalala!!!
Him: haha! buti na nga lang hindi mo naalala
Him: hehe
Him: hindi mo naman ikatutuwa kung maalala mo yun
Me: hahaha.
Me: sayang!
Me: hahahaha.
Him: gago

How could've I forgotten such a thing? When I could've blackmailed him all his life. Hahaha. Okay lang sana kung random thing lang 'yun. Hindi naman! At hindi ko talaga maalala. Kahit hanggang ngayon! Argh!

Absent, late.

2008-02-16T07:49:00.004+08:00

I was absent last February 14 because the day before, my professor told us, "Itetext ko na lang kayo kung may pasok bukas or wala." So I asssumed na walang pasok, maghihintay lang kami ng message to make it official. I woke up late, super late. Tapos may pasok pala. Waaah. Pwede pa naman akong pumasok kaya lang tinamad talaga ako. Okay, hindi na dapat ako nag-explain. Tinamad ako. Period. Wala naman akong date so sa bahay lang ako buong maghapon. Haha. Loser. Pero after ng class, tinawagan naman ako ng PPG at nag-date kaming tatlo. Haha.

So, the next day, February 15, syempre bumawi ako. Maaga kaming pumasok ni Ariane (si Raquel naman ang absent). Maaga nga kami umalis pero late pa din kami! One hour late. Dahil dito:

Sorry kung hindi maganda 'yung pictures. Binubusinahan na kasi kami ng mga kasunod na sasakyan. Lahat na yata ng pwede naming pag-usapan, napag-usapan na namin. Lahat ng kanta sa iPod, na-play na. Haaay. Sobra talaga. Imagine, one and a half hour kami sa isang kalye na usually 10 minutes lang okay na. ~~The problem with Cavite City is that it is a city yet isa lang ang way papasok at palabas.~~

Happy Thursday!

2008-02-14T08:09:00.003+08:00

Wala naman akong bagong blog entry, gusto ko lang kayo batiin ng:

So Friendster-ish. :P

Walang bago dito, pero dito meron. *wink*
Tamad lang talaga ko magkwento kaya pictures na lang muna.

Dumped!

2008-02-10T20:58:00.000+08:00

I asked someone out and I got rejected. Haha.

And to my friends: No. He's not the one I'm with last time. Mabuti na ang malinaw.

Talk and text.

2008-02-07T08:38:00.000+08:00

Lykes: Oy, mahal pala magpa-inject ng anti-rabies, noh?
Me: Oo, bakit? Kay Charlie? Sa doggie mo?
Lykes: Loka. Sa tao. 'Yung friend ko kasi nakagat.
Me: Friend na naman. Sus.
Lykes: O sige na nga, 'yung ex-boyfriend ko.

Ay nako, hindi man lang nagpakipot. Di man lang, "Hindi friend ko lang talaga." Haha.

---

Horges: Mahal na mahal ko kayong tatlo, hindi niyo lang alam.
Me: Mahal din kita, brod. Lasing ka na, noh? Haha.
Horges: Oo. Haha.

Na-touch kaming tatlo (PPG) dito. :) Ang mga nagagawa nga naman ng alak.

---

Maricar: Saan kayo sa Valentine's?
Me: Anong kami? Wala akong boylet.
Maricar: Ay onga pala.
Me: Gusto mo kay Bong na lang. Haha.
Maricar: Oo sige. Kunyari blind date kayo ni Bong. Tapos sasama ako, tapos magpapalibre tayo.

Hmpft. Gamitin ba naman akong accessory to the crime? Magkausap kami ni Maricar habang nakahiga ako sa shoulders niya. Siya pala ang perfect seatmate sa byahe. Napakasarap matulog katabi si Maricar. Mas malambot pa siya sa unan. Mmm. :)

---

Duty ulit kami sa Fabella kahapon at mamaya. :) Si Madam Jaja ulit ang CI namin. Ang saya. :) 2:00pm - 10:00pm ang shift pero 8:00pm pa lang, uwian na. Wahu!

Dramarama sa hapon.

Haha. Sa pagkakaalam ko sa GMA 'yung title na 'yan. Hehe. Drama time. May mabuting naidudulot din pala 'yung mga pesteng App Invites sa Friendster. Haha. Wala naman akong ina-accept kasi kapag in-accept ko lahat 'yun baka lampas isang oras na eh wala ka pa sa bottom ng profile page ko. Haha. Nakita ko lang 'to sa page ng friend ko:

- Maricar

Hay nako. Obvious bang nahihirapan akong mag move on sa pagkawala ni Whoosh? Haha. Kasi naman tumawag na lang sana. Tulog pa kasi ako kanina.

So, last week was not totally heaven week kasi we had to attend class kahit na may mga games outside at halos lahat naman hindi nakikinig at nakatingin sa bintana. Hay nako. Pero okay lang kasi may sort of extension this week kasi wala kaming pasok ngayon at bukas. Woohoo!

First blog entry ko pa lang ito for February, napaka-unusual. Hehe. Actually, I've really got a lot to blog about. Intrams, skipping class, classroom trippings, Nikki's birthday, drinking sessions. Kaya lang... tinatamad ako. :P

Pasensya na kung walang kwenta 'yung entry. Hehe. Kinailangan ko lang talaga mag-post ng kahit ano kasi nahihiya ako sa mga dumadaan dito sa blog ko (sa Blogger) at sinasabing, "Walang bago?"

I was looking for a gift to give to my friend Nikki. She'll be celebrating her debut on February 2, Saturday. 21 years old na siya pero ngayon siya magde-debut. Haha. Adik. Hayaan na natin siya. :)

So, I was looking for a gift and I saw this:

It looks heavenly. Haha! I want one for myself! :)
So I could literally have coffee in my veins. :P

Spines.

2008-01-25T21:25:00.000+08:00

Napaka-impulsive ko yata ngayon sa pagbili ng libro. Noong una, binili ko ang Tuesdays with Morrie kasi hindi available 'yung The Five People You Meet In Heaven. At sabi din ng classmate ko na si Nella noong hinihiram ko 'yung copy niya (ng The Five People You Meet In Heaven), 'yung Tuesdays with Morrie daw muna basahin ko. Well, pareho ng author, so, binili ko siya.

Tapos pagbalik ko at wala pa din, naisipan ko naman maghanap ng Eleven Minutes ni Paulo Coelho, hindi din available. I ended up buying The Devil and Miss Prym at The Valkyries.

Ngayon naman, wala akong intention na bumili ng book kaya lang nakita ko ito:

Movie poster yata 'tong nakuha kong picture sa web, pero ganyan din naman 'yung cover ng libro. Alam ko super old na ng librong 'to. At dati ko pa siya gustong bilihin noong napanood ko ang Serendipity tapos nawala na sa isip ko. Pero hindi ito 'yung cover niya dati, 'eto:

Pareho lang syempre 'yung content, at ayos lang din naman baguhin ang cover. Pero bakit ang layo ng difference ng price? P285 'yung naunang kopya (na binili ko). At 'yung isa naman ay almost P800. Binago 'yung cover kasi gagawin na siyang movie. O pinalabas na ba siya? Kasi nakalagay, "Now a Major Motion Picture." Hmm.

Sun, moon, stars.

2008-01-24T20:17:00.000+08:00

Me and my friends are gonna have lots of fun this week. Haha. Kanina, we only have to attend a mass for Teacher's Day tapos uwian na. And tomorrow, we won't have classes! Because it's Teacher’s Day (duh). I believe teachers are very important people. They influence everyone. Why not celebrate Teacher's Day everyday? Bwahahaha!

Then, kung mayroong hell week, heaven week (imbento ko lang) naman next week. Haha. Kasi Intrams. And, I have no intention of going to school. Haha. Siguro sa Monday lang, mag-attendance lang ako tapos bahala na. What are friends for? Pwede naman nila isulat 'yung name ko, tapos madali lang naman i-forge 'yung signature ko. Haha. :D

Sana naman hindi nila baguhin 'yung schedule, baka naman mag-conduct pa kayo ng classes! Please lang, you've already taken our Saturdays for that Psyche thing. Please, please let me have one week. Please. :)

I'm so excited.

---

I'm enjoying Sun! Haha. I got a pseudo-prank call last night.

Gary: Hello?
Me: Hello? Sino 'to?
Gary: Si Richard 'to. Pwede makipag-phone pal?
Me: (Uso pa ba 'yun?) Sino nga 'to??
Gary: Si Richard nga 'to. Nakuha ko 'yung number mo sa friend ko.
Me: Sino ka nga?? Hay nako, Gary, boses matanda ka! Ikaw nga 'yan!!
Gary: Hindi, si _____ talaga 'to (he gave my ex-boyfriend's name).
Me: Hahahaha!
Gary: Hahahaha!
Me: Hoy Gary Gurang! Tigilan mo ko!
Gary: Hahaha! Walanghiya ka talaga! Ayaw mo ko igalang. Bakit ka nag-Sun? May boypren ka na, noh?

Hahaha. Gary's my classmate. Siya na din ‘yung nakwento ko dati. He's old. I mean older than me. Hehe. He's close to 30. Pero kapag may mga katext siya, ang binibigay niya laging age is 22. Sabi ko nga, "Ano ba 'yang edad mo? Constant?!"

---

After I sent an SMS that I have a new number…

Two guys sent this:
"Aba! Bigtaym ka na Meryl!"
"Oy, tae. Bigtime ka na."

Yeah, Tae. We call each other Tae. We're sweet like that.

And this:
"Hoy, bakit ka nag-Sun? May bago ka na bang boyfriend? Hehe."

---

Grabe pala mag-Sun. Imagine, naging "bigtime" at "in a relationship" ako at once. :) Coolness.

Loser 101.

Go On Girl
Ne-Yo

I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she
Don't know how to act
Never been a dumb dude
No, I'm not dense
I Just had a slight
Lack of common sense
I was the good guy
She was the bad girl
I'm thinking one girl
She thinking me, Earl James and Jimmy
Yep, she had plenty
But love for me, she didn't have any

*
I was inviting, her into my heart
But she was out riding in some other man's car
She was my night time, thought I was her star
Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong
Won't take me long for me to move on

Please don't worry bout me I'm fine
(Please don't worry bout me I'm fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say
That I'll be okay
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl

I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she
Don't know how to act
Tried to settle down and look what I get
Thought it was my time, but I guess not yet
She at the bar getting drinks from many men
I'm in the house, thinking she's with her girlfriends
Trust not knowing, truly not knowing
I look back now like, man, I was open

(Repeat *)

The mistake I made is clear
(we never shoulda been together)
That's the reason you're not here
(I know that I can do much better)
Not a single salty tear
Not a feeling in my chest
Baby I'm feeling no stress
I'm too fly to be depressed

---

This song has been my song for the past few months and I want to change it. Haha. I can change it but it just seems so right for me. Hopefully not for a very long time.

It's so nice but it's wrong. Hey, Ne-Yo, you can't be too fly to be depressed. No one's too fly to be depressed.

Hmpft.

---

I don't know how to take a screenshot but I got 97 profile views on my Friendster account. It's always more or less a hundred by the end of the month. Hey, I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. Is it possible to have Google Analytics in a Friendster account?

---

I still can't upload a picture in my Blogger profile.

Pisti (hehe).

I like you. But I like you better when you're drunk. Or at least when you say you're drunk. You're like House on Vicodin. You're waaay, way better.

Stacy Warner: You fixed him.
Gregory House: De nada.
Stacy Warner: Thank you. [pause] You were right.
Gregory House: He's gonna be fine.
Stacy Warner: No, about me. I'm not over you. You were - you were the one. You will always will be. But I can't be with you.
Gregory House: So, I'm the guy. But you want the other guy, who by definition can never be the guy.
Stacy Warner: What's so great about you is you always think you're right. What's so frustrating about you is you are right so much of the time. You are brilliant, funny, surprising, sexy. But with you I was lonely. And with Mark there's room for me.

Mare 1: Mare, napakamakakalimutin ko na talaga. Minsan, nasa hagdanan ako, hindi ko alam kung aakyat ba ako o bababa.
Mare 2: Buti na lang hindi ako ganyan. Huwag naman sana (with matching knock on wood, three times).
(pause)
Mare 2: Ay, wait lang mare ha. Parang may kumatok, titingnan ko lang.

---

Haha. Hay nako. Huwag naman sana ako matulad dito sa magkumareng ito. Pero, hindi naman ako lumalayo sa ideya na maaaring mangyari sa akin ito. Kaya nga ba lagi ako nagba-blog kahit maliliit na detalye lamang. Ewan ko ba, may feeling akong pagtanda ko ay magkaka-Alzheimer's ako. Tapos tuwing nagmumuni-muni ako (madalas kong gawin 'to), naiisip ko 'yung scene na matanda na ako ala-The Notebook, tapos maaalala ko na for a while na may Alzheimer's nga ako at papakitaan ako ng mga anak ko ng laptop tapos bibisitahin namin ang blog ko at babasahin para maalala ko 'yung past ko. Sabihin niyo nang corny/weird/insane pero naiiisip ko talaga 'yan.

Corny.

Weird.

Insane.

Alam ko. Hmpft.

2008-01-18T00:17:00.000+08:00

Noong isang araw, walang magawa sa room, tamad na tamad kaming lahat hanggang may kumalat na papel na naglalaman nito:

Si Xiao (lagi na lang) ang gumawa niyan. Si Sir Diana naman ang guro namin ng mga panahong 'yun. Haha. Behaved ako n'yan. Wala kasi akong boses, paos ako kaya 5 sticks lang ang score ko. :) Sabi nga ng katabi ko sa upuan sa mga kausap niya, "Isipin mo nga kung gaano kadaldal si Meryl. Wala nang boses, magsusulat pa sa papel para lang dumaldal, kukulbitin pa ko." I can't help it eh. :P

May nakasulat pa sa likod ng papel na 'yan, mga "standing." :) Pinakamadaming points na naman 'yung prof. namin. Haha.

---

May ginawa na naman kaming mga PPG. Heto:

Hindi niyo sigurado mababasa pero may note d'yan, nakalagay:

Niño,
We miss you. Ingat pag-uwi.
Love,
PPG + Horges

Sweet namin, noh? Kung hindi clear sa inyo kung ano 'yan, mga McDo oney 'yan na ikinalat namin sa kotse.

Gabi na noong itext ako ng may-ari ng kotse...
Niño: Mga bwisit kayong PPG ha? Ano ginawa niyo sa kotse ko, ginawa niyong parang pang-parada! Hehehe. Namimiss niyo lang ako! Sige na, miss you, too na! Hehehe.
Me: Huli ka! Gabing gabi na! Sino babae mo? Hahaha! Ano bang duty sa community 'yan? Overnight?? Hahaha!
Niño: Hehehe. Nakatulog kasi ako kaya late nako nagising. Kasama ko pa Horges.
Me: Hehehe. Hoy! Ang balak ko lang talaga, ilagay 'yung sobre ng McDo d'yan, si Horges nakaisip na ikalat 'yan, promise.
Niño: Hehehe. Ok lang naman.

Ano ba 'yan, natapos na lang sa hehehe. Walang kwenta. :P

---

Pasensya na kung hindi ako madalas bumisita at mag-post ng entry ngayon, busy na kasi sa school (come on). Hahaha. Well, pwede naman akong hindi magpaka-busy kaya lang, madalas kasi pag-uwi ko ay gamit ng kapatid ko ang computer, gumagawa siya ng thesis tungkol yata sa epekto ng shabu sa mga ipis. Ewan, di ko maalala 'yun title. :P

I-check na lamang ang aking Multiply para sa kumpletong photo album. :)

Bading alert!

2008-01-14T21:32:00.000+08:00

Bading? Ano? Ha? Sino? Nasaan?

Ako. Hmpft.

Hindi ko lubos maisip na may mag-aakala ngang bading ako. Gag... reflex siya. Well, talagang hanggang ngayon hindi pa siya naniniwalang girlash ako, sinabi ko na lang na, "Oo, bading ako, matahimik ka na lang. Bading ako, bading."

Hindi ko nga siya kilala ang kapal ng mukha niya. Hmpft. Una, nag-send siya ng message sa akin sa Friendster at hinihingi ang number ko, itago natin siya sa namesung na Cherry Apple. Tapos, nagreply naman ako kasi mabait akong bata, sabi ko, "Uhm, kilala ba kita?" Sabi naman niya, "Hindi. Sorry kung makulit ako. Gusto ko lang malaman number mo para nga magkakilala tayo." Hindi na ako nagreply pagkatapos noon.

After ilang days, nag-send ulit siya ng message at tanungin ba naman ako kung bading daw ba ako! Talaga naman oo.

Kaya ang million-dollar question ay: mukha ba kong bading? Or meron bang time na naisip niyong bading ako?

Oo, bading ako, matahimik ka na lang. Bading ako, bading.

Exes, lanak.

2008-01-11T20:18:00.001+08:00

(I bet Myk's gonna react about my title again.)

Aking pipiliting huwag paghaluin ang tagalog at ingles dahil bading na bading ako pakinggan. Bading na nga ako, bading pa ko pakinggan. Napaka-redundant ko.

Dapat kasi talaga tungkol sa kaarawan ng aking kaibigang si Papa JP (nasanay na kasi akong Papa JP ang tawag sa kanya) ito kaya lang mas lumamang 'yung ibang mga nangyari kagabi kaya 'eto na lang 'yung pamagat. Bakit ba ako nagpapaliwanag?

Nauna kami ni Ariane dumating sa bahay ni Papa JP pero hindi pa kami pumasok sa loob, tumigil muna kami sa sasakyan niya habang hinihintay 'yung iba naming mga kaibigan, malapit na mag-isang oras kami naghintay. Hmpft. Pero masaya naman kasi nakapagkwentuhan kami tungkol sa mga kamalditahang ginawa nila sa duty, naalala niyo pa, magkagrupo sila ni Xiao ngayong linggong ito.

Dumating na 'yung mga kaibigan naming lalaki at pumasok na kami sa loob ng bahay nina Papa JP, kumain kami tapos sabay alis. Haha. Umalis kami kasi nalimutan ng mga lalaki magdala ng speakers para sa iPod, eh nangako daw silang magdadala sila kaya umalis ulit kami, gamit ang sasakyan ni Ariane pero si Zep na ang nagmaneho. Niloloko nga nila na wala pang gasgas ang sasakyan ni Ariane kaya gagasgasan daw nila. Ginamit nila ang salitang "masilya" na hindi alam ni Ariane kung ano. Sabi niya sa akin, "Ok lang may masilya kung kakulay naman ‘yun ng sasakyan. Ano bang kulay nun?" Sabi ko, "Loka, white ang masilya, tapos papapinturahan mo para pumantay ‘yung kulay." Haha. Tsaka lang siya nagalit sa mga kaibigan naming lalaki pagkatapos niyang malaman 'yun. Tuwing may dadaanang masikip, sisigaw 'yung mga lalaki ng "masilya, masilya." Haha.

Nahihirapan ako, balik na tayo sa usual manner ko ng pagkukwento.

At bumalik na nga kami kina JP, nakaupo na kaming lahat. Nagkukwentuhan kami ng kung anu-ano, mga updates sa buhay namin. Madami kaming napagkwentuhan kasi ngayon na lang ulit kami nagkasama-sama. Nasa ibang mga schools na kasi karamihan sa mga boys na nakwento ko na dati. At for some reason, napaka-fluent na sa salitang bading ng mga boyfriends ko, as in kung hindi ko sila siguro kilala matagal na, iisipin kong bading sila. Hahaha. Madami akong natutunang salitang bading kagabi pero sa susunod na lang 'yung entry tungkol doon, balak kong mag-post ng mini dictionary ng mga natutunan kong salita. Haha. Masaya naman hanggang mapunta na kami sa mga ex. Napag-usapan kasi na 'yung isa naming friend eh naaadik na sa Ragnarok. So, may-I-make-kwento naman ako na 'yung ex ko sa Level-Up nagtatrabaho, GM. Haha. Ngayon ko lang naman nalaman 'yun kasi tinawagan niya ako after Christmas at nagkakwentuhan kami. Hahaha. Syempre, napunta naman ang usapan sa recent ex ko. Hay nako. Peaceful na nga ang life ng lola mo, pinaalala pa. Sabi nung isa kong kaibigan na medyo close sa nanay ng ex ko na nagtatampo daw sa akin 'yung nanay ng ex ko. Sabi ko naman,
"Ha? Bakit?"
"Eh kasi hindi mo na daw siya tinetext, alam mo naman 'yun."
"Nawala kaya 'yung phone ko (sabay pakita ng phone)."
"Ay. Onga noh. Oh 'eto 'yung number, itext mo."
"~~Ayoko nga, ayoko na nga sana ng kahit anong connection sa kanila, masyado akong na-trauma sa anak niya.~~ O sige, itetext ko."
"Alam mo ang dami-dami mong pagkain doon noong Christmas tsaka New Year, 'yung ref nila, may mga nakalagay, Meryl, Meryl, puro Meryl."
"~~Ah, sana kinain na lang nila, mapapanis lang naman 'yun.~~ Ah, talaga? Hehe. Ayos ah. Madami talaga?"
"Oo, madami."

After that, nagkwento pa siya ng madaming madaming madami tungkol sa ex ko. Hay nako.

Namimiss siguro ako ng nanay ng ex ko kasi nagustuhan niya ‘yung gift ko sa kanya last Christmas. Hahaha. :D Kasi break na dati pa 'yung mommy ng ex ko at 'yung original niyang daddy. Ngayon, may boyfriend siya na Bob ang pangalan kaya last Christmas, niregaluhan ko siya ng Sponge Bob na pillow. Hahaha. Hay nako, Tina-try ko na lang talagang huwag isipin 'yung mga bad things na nagyari before. Ok lang sana kung simpleng break-up lang 'yung nangyari kaya lang di ba nauwi pa sa threats and blackmails. Bongga talaga.

---

Naalala ko tuloy si Lykes at Evard, mga ka-group ko sa duty.
Lykes: Namimiss ko na ligawan. Ikaw, Meryl hindi mo namimiss?
Me: Ako? Hindi pa naman, siguro after a year. Haha. Alam mo naman, di ba?
Lykes: Ay, oo nga pala.
Evard: Ako din, namimiss ko na manligaw, kaya nga nililigawan ko si Con-Con araw-araw eh.

Ang sweet ni Evard, noh? Gelrpren niya si ConCon. :)

'Eto na ang pinaka-hot na picture na nakuha ko sa Friendster ni Papa JP. So, cheers Papa JP. Belated happy birthday! :D

Nagiging parang drama series na ang mga entries dito sa blog ko ah. At pabading ng pabading ang mga title. Okay, okay. So, as promised, narito na nga ang blog entry ko tungkol sa duty namin sa Fabella. Kanina ang last day namin doon, two days lang kasi kami tapos dito na lang ulit sa Cavite 'yung remaing days for this week.

9 kami sa grupo tapos hindi namin nakasama 'yung isang original na kagrupo namin dahil nagkamali 'yung naisubmit na form, ibang classmate namin 'yung nailagay. Well, siguro ngayon kilala niyo na siya kasi naikukwento ko na din naman siya dati. Ang maswerteng kagrupo namin na napahiwalay sa amin ay si... Xiao. Hehe.

Front ko lang talaga 'yung reason na mabait 'yung CI namin kaya ako gagawa ng entry, sa totoo lang, gusto ko lang talaga inggitin si Xiao. So, Xiao, para sa'yo ang entry na ito. At sana hindi ka maka-move on sa pagkahiwalay mo sa grupo namin. Bwahahaha!

Pagdating namin doon, hindi namin alam kung sino ang CI namin kasi hindi galing sa school namin 'yung CI, staff siya ng Fabella. Sabi sa amin noong isang staff, "Hintayin ninyo 'yung CI niyo, si Ma'am Jaja." (Jaja pala siya, hindi Cha Cha.) Okay, so we we're expecting na girlash ang CI namin. Well, girlash naman siya talaga.

Nagpakilala siya sa amin, sabi niya: "Hi, I'm (Insert kahit anong panlalaking name here), pero you can call me Ma’am Jaja, Madam Jaja, or Madam. Oh di ba? Okay, mag-quiz tayo." 'Yan ang unang lines niya. Haha.

Masaya naman kasama si Madam. Kahit bading siya, magaling siyang CI, hindi ako inaantok (ewan ko lang sa mga kagrupo ko) kasi madami kaming ginagawa, lagi may kwentuhan. May takutan sessions pa. Haha. Kaya, naisipan naming itext si Xiao para kumustahin/inggitin siya.

[Merong mga parts sa SMS conversation na ito na tinanggal ko kasi may halong kamalditahan.]

Meryl: Xiao, ok lang pala na wala ka. Di ka naman pala kakulangan.
Xiao: Sino nagsabi sa inyo, eh ako pinakasexy sa group natin! Ok lang, bukas magtatanim naman ako sa Sitio.* Hmpft! Flowers pa! Hmpft!
Meryl: Yuck. Magtatanim. Haha. Ano namang trip 'yan? Haha. Ay nako, hindi ka makaka-move on sa pagkawala namin. Haha.
Xiao: Sa totoo lang, naka-move on na ako kasi nakahanap na ako ng mga kasing-sexy ko sa Group 1, si Ariane at Crizelda. Grabe, we're so hot as in dyosang-dyosa kami lalo na pag (bleep).
Meryl: Haha. Laitera ka talaga!
Xiao: Nagsalita. Hehe. Tapos inookray namin ang fashion statement ni (bleep). Diyan na nga kayo mag-beauty sleep muna ako in preparation for tomorrow. Ingat.
Meryl: Haha. Ge, sweet dreams!

* Ang Sitio ay pangalan ng community area na pinagduduty-han din namin.

Tapos kahapon, nag-post siya ng album sa Multiply kasama ang mga bagong kagrupo niya. Haha. Bitter talaga siya. :D Xiao, 'eto ang picture namin at kitang-kita mo naman, super saya namin kahit wala ka.

Haha. Sana nag-send na lang ako ng e-mail kay Xiao, para kasing para sa kanya lang talaga ang entry na ito. :D

Eyebags galore.

2008-01-07T05:20:00.000+08:00

Remember what I told you about our duty schedule this week? Kumusta naman? Well, na-achieve ko naman ang paggising ng 3:00am, naligo at nagbihis ako within 45 minutes. Nagpahatid ako sa daddy ko sa bahay nina Raquel, 4:00am ‘yun. Pagdating kina Raquel, hinatid kami ng boypren niya sa meeting place, 4:20am. Okay naman ang lahat. Pagdating namin doon sa van, kausap ng classmate ko ‘yung level adviser namin at sabi 10:00pm - 6:00am ‘yung duty ng group namin! Bongga. Konting tiis na lang. Pagka-graduate ko, itutuloy ko na ang balak kong pagpapasabog ang school namin.

"It’s not a threat. It’s a fact." - John "Sweet" Lapuz

Hinatid ako ng boypren ni Raquel dito sa bahay at matutulog na dapat ulit ako. Pero nawala na ‘yung antok ko kaya ~~pinaplano ko na lang ‘yung magandang way kung paano pasasabugin ‘yung school namin~~ naisipan kong magblog. :)

Bluer than blue.

2008-01-06T19:40:00.000+08:00

Bago na 'yung kulay ng room ko. Or should I say bagong shade ng blue? Haha. Well, bagong pinta siya pero blue pa din.

Dati kasi, ang shade niya ay katulad ng page background ng blog ko. Ngayon, kakulay na siya ng main background. Malayo naman 'yung diperensya niya. Mas bading 'yung kulay niya ngayon.

Na-discover ko na nga pala ang trace ng pagka-adik ko. Sa father's side ko nakuha 'yun. Daddy ko kasi ang nagtimpla ng kulay ng kwarto ko, tapos nilagay niya sa isang lalagyan ~~syempre~~ 'yung natirang pintura. Sinulatan niya 'yun. Nilagay niya:

Arlene's Room BLUEPUFF

Hahaha. Nagulat nga ako nung pinakita niya 'yung lalagyan. Sabi niya nandoon nga daw 'yung pintura ko baka kasi magasgas ko 'yung pader. Ilang araw pa lang kasi pagkatapos pinturahan 'yung kwarto ko, nagasgas na agad. Hehe. Tinanong ko kung ano ba 'yung "bluepuff" at bakit may ganoon pa. Sabi niya 'yun daw 'yung pangalan nung paint. Haha. Next time na lang ulit 'yung picture nung lalagyan ng pintura. :D

Please.

2008-01-04T00:15:00.000+08:00

Pagkatapos ng New Year lang ako nagtanong at nagtext kung kailan ba magre-resume ang klase. Hindi ko alam kung estudyante nga ba ako. Ayoko kasing masira ang holidays ko kapag nalaman kong January 3 ang pasukan. Gusto kong mag-stick sa January 7 theory ko. At, pagkatapos ko magtext, nagwagi ako, January 7 nga. At, ang unang week namin ay duty week. Ibig sabihin, hindi ko kailangan gumising ng maaga at makinig sa boring na lectures! Woohoo!

Pero... hindi pala dapat ako magsaya. 6:00am hanggang 2:00pm ang duty ko next week. Saan? Sa Fabella. Anak ng tokwa. 4:00am aalis ng Cavite. Anong oras ako gigising, 2:00am? Utot. Nagsisimula pa lang tumulo laway ko nun, noh.

2:00am - 3:00am > Maliligo ako, magbibihis.
3:00am - 4:00am > Biyahe papuntang school.
4:00am - 6:00am > Biyahe papuntang Fabella.

Bakit kasi naimbento pa ang 6:00am-2:00pm shift. Haha. Pero okay na din in a way kasi magagamit ko ang secret talent ko.

3:00am - 3:30am > Maliligo ako, magbibihis.
3:30am - 4:00am > Biyahe papuntang school.
4:00am - 6:00am > Biyahe papuntang Fabella.

Pero, hindi ako nawawalan ng pag-asa. Alam ko may magtetext at sasabihing:

Group 2, your duty will not push through because of typhoon Chorva. Classes will resume on January 14, 2007. Take note: Group 2 lang. Pls. pass.

Hahaha. Kapag nangyari 'yun, ipapasa ko agad sa lahat ng mga classmates ko 'yung text, kahit sa mga hindi ko ka-group, para mainggit sila. Sana may magtext. Sana, sana, sana.

Let's celebrate. It's 2008.

2008-01-01T18:25:00.000+08:00

Uy, rhyming. Haha. Wala naman talaga akong balak mag-post ng bagong entry ngayon kasi wala naman talaga akong sasabihin plus hindi pa din ako makapag-upload ng pictures. Oh Well. Eh bakit ako may entry ngayon? Tatlo ang rason.

Una. Hindi ko talaga balak bisitahin ang blog ko ngayong araw na ito kasi wala naman nga akong isusulat. Kaya, Multiply ang inatupag ko. Aba. Mayroong 20+ posts ang mga contacts ko doon at karamihan ng mga ‘yun may kinalaman sa new year. This must be a sign.

Pangalawa. Ka-chat ko sa YM ang mga blogger ding sina Duroy, Kingdaddyrich, at Mariano. Hmm. Puro boys. Lalaki din naman ako. Walang pakialaman. Wala naman masyadong kwento tungkol sa kanila. Naalala ko lang na nag-iwan nga pala ng message si Duroy sa tagboard ko at sabi niya abangan ko daw ang year-end report niya. So, tinanong ko kung tapos na ‘yun. Sabi niya kahapon pa daw. Onga naman, year-end report so kahapon talaga dapat siya. Toink. So binasa ko ‘yun. Tapos binisita ko na din ‘yung ibang blogs at lahat sila may entry na may kinalaman sa bagong taon o sa nakaraang taon. Oh no. Ako lang ba ang hindi nakaisip na maghanda ng isang entry para sa taong ito. Sana hindi. It is a sign.

Pangatlo. Kanina may pangatlo pero nalimutan ko na. Haha. Lagi na ang akong ganoon. Madalas ako makalimot. Minsan pupunta ako sa kwarto ko para may kunin, pagdating ko, nalilimutan ko na kung ano nga ba ‘yung kukunin ko. Kapag nagkukwentuhan kami ng kapatid ko, madalas niyang sabihin ang, “Ano ka ba, nalimutan mo na naman?” May mild anterograde amnesia yata ako. Mali yata. Well, ako lang naman ang nag-diagnose noon. Haha.

---

Busy ako ngayon sa pagbabasa. Oo, nagbabasa naman ako. Haha. Bumili ako ng tatlong libro ngayong Christmas break. Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie; The Valkyries, at The Devil and Miss Prym pareho ni Paulo Coelho. Tapos ko na basahin ‘yung Tuesdays with Morrie at The Valkyries pero hindi ako maggagawa ng book review kasi hindi naman ako magaling doon. Ayoko pang basahin ‘yung The Devil and Miss Prym kasi kapag natapos ko na basahin ‘yun wala na naman akong gagawin ang magtutulog na naman ako buong araw. Haha.

So, Happy new year sa inyo. :)

---

'Yung pangatlo pala naalala ko na. Sabi ng mga matatanda, kailangan daw kapag New Year's eve, madami kang pera sa bulsa mo para buong taon kang madaming pera. Walang sense. Haha. Pero kaya ko din pala naisipan maggawa ng entry kasi unang araw ng taon ngayon, at kailangan may entry ako kung hindi, isang buong taong walang laman 'yung blog ko. Haha. Wow, pare. Ang lalim.

Thanks, RX.

2007-12-30T16:10:00.000+08:00

It was my brother's birthday last December 28 so we I decided to go to Metro Market! Market!. Haha. :D They said it was okay, so we went. And while we're on our way there, we heard this on the radio...

Relive the Beyonce experience live... blah blah by owning a Beyonce Experience Live DVD.

Daddy: Magkano kaya 'yung Beyonce DVD?
Me: Haha. Sabi na eh.
Daddy: Bili tayo nun mamya.
Me: Sige, sige (drools).

Sa Gerry's Grill kami kumain. Pero wala akong pictures. Corny. Haha. Hindi pa din kasi ako nakaka-move on sa pagkawala ni Whoosh. :(

---

Correct me if I'm wrong. The Beyonce Experience Concert tickets, Super VIP seats, cost PhP20600. And this only costs PhP475. Haha. I'm happy. :) Hindi pala dito sa Pinas 'yung nabili naming DVD, hehe. Sa Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. Pero ayos lang. Magkano kaya 'yung tickets dun? Kasi kumanta din sa concert sina Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, at Jay-Z.

Incubus is going to Manila on March 9, 2008. They'll be having their concert at the Araneta Coliseum. I want tickets (for free)! :( Haha.

---

I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 of House, M.D., I only borrowed the DVDs from my friend, Xiao. However, when I looked for the DVD at Tower Records, it costs PhP1200 and it contains 5 DVDs in each box. Why sooo many?? 'Yung ~~pirated~~ version na nabibili sa tabi-tabi, isang DVD lang. Hehe.

---

Thanks to Maricar, for changing my Multiply layout. She didn't make it. Siya lang 'yung naghanap. Anyway, thanks pa din. :) Miss ko na kayo. Whatever happened to our EK getaway? Hmm.

---

Next time na lang 'yung pictures. I'm having a problem uploading. :(

Starbucks, Sponge Bob.

We spent Christmas at my grandparents' (mother's side) house in Imus, Cavite. We ate, talked, and slept. We got bored waiting for our Tita Lou to come (their family went to Tagaytay) so we decided to go to Alabang Town Center to (you guessed it) waste some more time. :)

Tita: Miss, 3 cafe latte.
Me: Tsaka po 4 na mocha frap. (smiles)
Miss: Ma'am, sorry hindi na po available 'yung frapuccino namin kasi wala na po kaming ice. Pero kung gusto niyo, pwede naman po, malamig naman 'yung milk namin.
Me: (WTF?!) Sige miss, cappuccino na lang, tall lahat.

---

Patrick: ...but you don't eat it (chocolate), you rub it into your skin, and you'll live forever!!
Old Lady: Gimme one chocolate bar.
Sponge Bob: If we keep exaggerating the truth, we'll be fancy-living in no time!
Patrick: Yeah!! Hooray to lies!!

Grrr.

Anonymous: Meryl?
Me: Stranger? Hehe. Meryl nga. Sino to?
Anonymous: Haha, di mo ko kilala, no? Bakit nawala phone mo?
Me: Malamang di kita kilala. Papangalanan kitang Bogart hanggang di mo sinasabi name mo. Haha. Sino ka? Nawala nung nasa bus ako pauwi, last Friday. :(
Anonymous: Wala bang ibang name? Pangit ng Bogart eh. Hehe. May pasok pa kayo?
Me: Hmm. Tado, pwede na? Hanggang Wed. na lang pasok namin, pero di ako papasok sa Wed., hanggang bukas na lang pasok ko.
Anonymous: Tado? Hmm, pangit pa rin. Hehe, bakit di ka papasok sa Wednesday?

Me: Gift? Bibigyan kita ng… pangalan. :) Ano na, aber? Sino ka nga?
Anonymous: Ayoko nga sabihin kung sino ako. Gift ko muna. Hehe.
Me: Ay, ewan.
Anonymous: Haha, ay pikon. Ano balita kay Jeff Moral? Uuwi ba daw ng Pinas?
Me: Jeff… Ikaw ba si Bryan? Mangkol? Hmm. Di ko na nakakausap si Kalbo. :( Di nga nagpaalam yun sakin na alis na pala siya. Super late ko na nalaman.
Anonymous: Onga eh. Di ko din alam. Nalaman ko lang nakaalis na. Wala man lang despedida. Haha.
Me: Onga. Unfair siya. Sino ka nga?

End of story. (I shouldn't have posted my number, grr.)

Christmas break na. Wee. I get to sleep a lot. :) And my room's no longer a jungle. :) I'm really happy. And... I get to drive again (with my dad, I'm scared to drive alone). :) I'm enjoying life right now. Without having to tell how I live it. Just simply living. I feel all warm inside. :) But that doesn't mean I'm going on a hiatus, I'm not. I'll always be here. :)

Lost.

2007-12-17T17:40:00.000+08:00

Today, I've given up all hope that I can get my phone back. Hay. Whoosh (my phone) and I have just shared less than a year together and he left me. Okay, someone took him from me, a guy apparently. (Do I sound weird that my phone has a name, and he's a he, not an it? - Me, talking to myself)

I was on the bus home last Friday, December 14, 2007, after buying Christmas gifts for my friends, Ariane and Raquel, so I was carrying lots of stuff. I bought gifts for my other friends, too. I just emphasized Ariane and Raquel because their gifts are expensive. Haha. :) As I was saying, I was carrying a lot of stuff so I unconsciously placed Whoosh on my pocket. I was awake during the whole bus ride and I thought I placed Whoosh on my bag so I wasn't worried.

I arrived home, went to my room, opened my bag, and then, he was gone. :( Yeah, I thought, recalling the bus ride, that maybe a guy took it, we shared the same seat and after just five minutes, he went off the bus. I just thought he took it. I have a strong feeling it's him. But, I don't remember his face. Hay. And even if I do, I've got no proof he took it. I've no idea where to find him. My phone even rang when we tried to call my number a few hours after I realized it's lost. I even sent an SMS begging him to give my phone back. But, of course, he didn't reply.

Hay. If only I had money to buy a new phone, I'd buy Whoosh again. :(

It's nearly Christmas, could you buy me a new phone? :(

Drama.

2007-12-13T14:25:00.000+08:00

Last Monday, December 10, 2007, we had our recollection at Tagaste Retreat House, Tagaytay. The lecture was boring. Sorry. I’ve attended a lot of recollections/retreats before and I usually enjoyed it. This time, it was… not enough.

I met someone though. We met after lunch. His name’s Charles. And he’s a dog. Haha. :) He lives there and he enjoys playing catch, not with a ball, with a buko. :) You kick the buko, then he chases it, brings it back to you, and you kick it again. That’s how you play catch (except the kicking should be replaced with throwing), right? I don’t even know why I’m explaining. :)

Charles. :)

The recollection’s not that bad. Some nice things happened, too. It involved the last activity Bro. Alvin made us do. I forgot what it’s called but it involved saying:

Thank you…
I’m sorry…
I promise…

You could choose to either write a letter or speak to someone personally. After hugging and talking to those people I am with most of the time, I decided to approach Paw. Paw and I are okay, but we had a gap because a close friend of hers stabs in the back a good friend of mine. I was never mad at her. I just thought she’s more than that. I thought she can decide on her own and pick between what’s good and bad. But, she let her friend control her actions. And so I went to her, without even saying a word or doing anything, she cried. Aww. :( It’s such a nice feeling not having to talk yet you completely understood what the other wants to say. A lot of friendships were rekindled that day. Our section was really tight before all those shits happened. I just hope that certain someone will be able to realize what she’s done wrong. All those fights/misunderstandings in our section, whether directly or indirectly, was due to her.

We (me, Raquel, Ariane, Lykes, and Rianne) didn’t join our classmates on the bus home. We stayed at Figaro to have coffee and bond even more. Then, we went home.

It was such a nice feeling the day after when there was no more tension felt inside the classroom. Thank God. :)

Trade Fair addicts.

2007-12-11T18:12:00.000+08:00

Forgive me for the excessive use of parentheses.

Around November 12 to 16, 2007. (Lecture Week)
I’ve heard a lot about this bag, so I decided to search for it in the WWW, and I found this website. I told my friends Raquel and Ariane how much I wanted the bag, so I was shocked when Xiao came to school using it. Waaah. I asked her where she bought it, and she said it was just given to her. Too bad.

Around November 19 to 23, 2007. (RLE Week)
Maricar told us that the Trade Fair already started and invited (more like kinulit) us to go there. There’s this place called Cavite Economic Processing Zone (correct me if I’m wrong) at Cavite (sorry for the redundancy) which holds a Trade Fair during Christmas season. The Fair started last November 5 and will last until December 23. Basically, CEPZ looks like a really big subdivision, except that it has factories, not houses in it.

Last November 21 (I really can’t remember) we (Me, Maricar, Xiao, and Lykes) went there to go window shopping. Just window shopping. But, I saw the “I’m not a plastic bag” bag there so we ended up buying it - in different colors. Mine’s in blue (I really shouldn’t be telling you that), Lykes’ in black, and Maricar’s in pink.

Around November 26 to 30, 2007. (Lecture Week)
So, the following week, we used it. Raquel and Ariane was able to see the bag and they got jealous and even told me I have new friends already. Haha. They’re joking, but they really wanted to go at the Fair, too. So some time this week we went there and bought this bag. Raquel’s bag is in brown, Ariane’s in green with yellow design, and mine’s in… you know.

Around December 3 to 7, 2007 (RLE Week)
Maricar and Xiao went again to the Fair and bought the same bag in pink (Maricar’s) and violet (Xiao’s). And again, Maricar persuaded us to go to the Fair (after going there just the day before). Lykes bought the bag, too; in black with silver design. I want to trade my bag for hers (she also likes blue) but she won’t. Haha.

Multi happy.

Adik ako. Pero hindi lang naman ako. Pati din ang mga Multiply friends ko. Hahaha. Look at these two blog entries (click the pictures):

Kaya kapag sinabi ng nanay o tatay mo na piliin ang mga kaibigan, you really should obey them. Tingnan niyo ako, heto ang mga kaibigan ko, kaya adik tuloy ako. Haha. :D

Oh, at meron pa, Xiao, the other girl (or gay) above, wrote this:

Super cute ni Chris Brown no? Maggie na nga! Tasel na tasel pa!!!! Wiz na nga! Potentialite!

Sunday morning.

2007-12-02T17:20:00.000+08:00

"Why do we study history?"

"Well, we study history to know what happened in the past?"

"But why do we want to know what happened in the past?"

"Because it's just interesting, frankly."

EP wears a metal medical alert bracelet around his left wrist. Even though it's obvious what it's for, I ask him anyway. He turns his wrist over and casually reads it.

"Hmm. It says memory loss."

EP doesn't even remember that he has a memory problem. That is something he discovers anew every moment. And since he forgets that he always forgets, every lost thought seems like just a casual slip - an annoyance and nothing more - the same way it would to you and me.

- Excerpt from the article: Memory by Joshua Foer

This issue of the National Geographic has been lying in my room for almost a month now, and only this morning I had the chance to read it. The cover reads: MEMORY Why we Remember, Why We Forget. It pains me to know that there are people like EP who cannot and will not be able to recall anything. Memory is the only thing we can hold on to when those people we love leaves us. When we can't be with someone, it is only through memory that we can be with them. Memory either takes away our sadness or aggravates it. Good thing I searched for the article on the WWW, or else, I would've posted the entire article here. Haha. Please click this link to read the full article.

And I would like to stress the end of the article:

We turn around and walk back down the street whose name he's forgotten, past the waving neighbors he doesn't recognize, to a home he doesn't know. In front of the house there is a car parked with tinted windows. We turn to look at our reflections. I ask EP what he sees.

"An old man," he says. "That's all."

Aww. :( Reading this article was like finishing a good novel. You know the feeling you get after reading a book? Your mind continues to be preoccupied with thoughts about what you've just read for hours and hours. Hay.

Daddy-yo.

2007-12-01T13:36:00.000+08:00

I like it when my dad's here, I feel like we're more bonded as a family. We eat dinner together, we go out, we have late night conversations over a hot cup of coffee (mine, cold), and watch DVDs together, usually live concerts: Destiny's Child, Gwen Stefani, Evanescence, and Maroon 5 (yes, my dad listens to them).

I remember I was looking for my Evanescence: Fallen CD for a week after my dad left to go abroad, all the while it was with him pala. He called to tell me that he brought my CD. Tsk, tsk. Pero okay lang, kasi pag-uwi naman niya, may dala siyang Evanescence: Anywhere But Home DVD. :)

Me and my dad have a lot in common: music, cars, gadgets, movies, basta madami. Sometimes I feel like he's a young child trapped in a grown-up's body. :) We can go all day talking about Beyonce, Akon (he asked me one time who Akon was because he saw in the news that he's here in the Philippines), laptops, cell phones, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, National Geographic, Time Magazine, and a lot more. Hehe.

Napaka-incoherent ng entry na ito. Nalimutan ko na yata kung paano magsulat. Oh well.

Thank you.

2007-11-28T11:13:00.000+08:00

I haven't blogged for a week now. Hay. Ngayon ko lang na-feel na kulang ang 24 oras sa isang araw. :( Kaya, next time na lang ang kwento. Sige, 'yun lang. :)

2007-11-12T15:14:00.000+08:00

I always listen to Magic, so I decided to add up their DJs as my contacts at Multiply. And, I was shocked when I saw this at my Multiply Message Board:

"Ariani Tony Toni Wedding Photo Album"

Ariani Nogueira is the cover girl for the FHM Philippines November 2007 issue. And who the hell is Tony Toni? A Magic 89.9 DJ! Hah! One lucky guy. I wasn't able to tune in that night though, but here's a sample...

Inngit kayo, no? Click here for more. :D

Oh, and about what I posted before regarding the Yahoo! Go, here's the link. :)

I already uploaded pictures at my Multiply, but not all of them. I was only able to upload three albums.

I present to you:

Ang Mahiwagang Kisses

Pimp My Ride

Max's

3 down, 5 more to go. Hindi pa nga pala ako nakakabili ng adapter. :(

Cheers!

It has been a while since I uploaded pictures at Friendster or Multiply or here. It's because I misplaced the adapter for my phone's memory card. Yep, all the pictures I posted here was taken using my phone. I don't own a camera. :( But it's okay, it's more convenient for me because I bring my phone all the time. And my phone has a microSD memory card which needs an adapter for it to fit in the memory card reader.

Hindi iyan ang memory card ko, pero ganyan 'yung itsura niya at ng adapter (for reference in case maisipan niyong bigyan ako). Hehe. :P

I don't know where or how I misplaced it, but that's not my point. The point is I really need one, there are too many pictures on my phone already. It's not really expensive, I'll probably buy one come weekend kaya hindi naman ako magpapabili sa inyo, but... there are other things you may want to buy for me. Hehe. :P

Kaya nauwi ako sa paggawa nito:
Ang aking Christmas Wish List

Nokia N95 - The desire to have this phone increased when my classmate/friend, Nikki, had it. I was able to check out its features. Nag-send pa nga ako ng picture sa phone niya tapos noong isinauli ko, 'yung picture ko ang naka-wallpaper. Hehehe. :P I like all-in-one devices like the Nokia N95: it's a music player, a camera, and a phone (obviously). Although my phone has those features, too but N95's waaay better. May Nokia N95 8GB Edition na pala. So, I change my Number 1 to Nokia N95 8GB Edition. :)
iPod Touch or iPod Nano Video - Yes, yes, I mentioned that I like all-in-one devices but I won't complain kung gusto niyo akong regaluhan nito. :)
Sony Cybershot DSC W-55 - I chose this one because it comes in blue. :P Pero, okay na din 'yung DSC-T20 in silver. Wait, I made up my mind, it's the DSC-W200 in silver. Imagine 12.1 Mega Pixels. Huwaw. :)
Nokia 2 GB microSD Memory Card - Last option na lamang ito. Kung may mabait na magbibigay sa aking ng iPod Touch/iPod Nano Video o ng Sony Cybershot DSC-W200, hindi ko na kailangan pang palitan ang aking memory card. :)

40+ days pa naman before Christmas kaya makakapag-ipon pa kayo. :)

Nakakainis. Madami na dapat akong naikwento kaya lang, hindi nga ako makapag-upload ng pictures. Hindi ko na siguro malalagay 'yun dito. Check my Multiply often for the pictures. :)

"I hunt chickens, men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike and all men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."
- Fox, Antoine de Saint Exupery's The Little Prince

On the morning of my departure, I shall put my planet in order. I will carefully clean out my active volcanoes, and the extinct one as well.

I will also pull up the last remaining shoots of baobabs.
I will water the flower for the last time, and prepare to shelter her under the glass globe.

On my last morning, all these familiar tasks will seem very precious to me.

And then I shall await for my flock of wild birds.

I won't linger like this. I have decided to go away. And I will.

So to you: thank you, happy birthday, and... goodbye.

Yahoo-woohoo!

2007-11-03T18:29:00.000+08:00

I wasn't able to go online for the past few days because our PC monitor's broken, and although I already replaced it with the old one (we have an old set of computer), I'm afraid to use it because it might spark again (nag-spark kasi 'yung isang monitor kaya siya nasira).

Due to desperation/katamaran-pumunta-sa-isang-internet-shop, I tried going online through my mobile phone! And it worked! I tried Yahoo! oneSearch which can be found at the myGlobe wapsite and I tried typing "Yahoo Mobile Messenger," and the link for the messenger wapsite appeared. Snuff was the only one I could try chatting with beacuse all of my contacts are "on SMS" and we talked and I told him I was just using my phone. It's cool although it's kind of slow and you have to refresh the page often to see whether the person you're chatting with has replied. I just tried to chat with one person and I don't know how it is with two or more. It's convenient when you're on the go but it's not practical becuase the browsing fee's P0.075/kb sent. Mahal.

There's also this link, "Download Yahoo! Go now" which I downloaded (obviously). And the program appeared in my phone. It's somehow the same as Yahoo! Messenger's interface, the menu can be found at the bottom of the screen: oneSearch, Local & Maps, News, Finance, Sports, Entertainment, Flickr, Weather, and Mail.

Under the oneSearch tab, I typed http://bluepuff.blogspot.com/ and surprise, my blog appeared. Hehehe. :P I saw all my entries and even the pictures are displayed. It's pretty much like what you see here except for the sidebar. Yahoo! Go optimizes the website you want to go to into a wapsite suited for your phone. I was supposed to try and sign in to Blogger using Yahoo! Go kaya lang naubos na yata 'yung load ko. :P

Ay, onga pala. Paano ako nakapag-post kung natatakot akong gamitin 'yung PC sa bahay? Hmm. Nasa Netopia kasi ako ngayon. Weee. :P

Ate.

2007-10-27T16:37:00.000+08:00

I'm tired of borrowing our neighbor's kids just so I could have someone to play with. :P I always ask my mom if she could make another baby (haha) so I don't have to borrow, and she gets pissed all the time. I want a baby sister. It's always fun to have a baby in the house.

I like asking kids a lot of questions and it's funny how they reply:
Me: Kamusta ka naman?
Chin: Okay lang.
Me: Eh saan ka na nakatira? Di ba lilipat na kayo?
Chin: Doon sa Santol (lugar 'yung santol, hindi prutas). Kanina nga tumae ako tapos hindi lumubog 'yung tae.
Me: Bakit naman? Sira ba 'yung CR niyo?
Chin: Oo, sira nga. Hindi pa nga ginagawa ni Papa eh.
Me: Asan ba si Papa mo?
Chin: Nandoon, nag-iinom.

Matalinong bata.

I want to have kids in the house, but not my own. I'm not ready for that yet. :P

Sorry to the Multiply-ers for flooding your message boards. I noticed that my blog is not updating so I decided to sign my blog up again, and there. Sorry.

Boom. (Updated)

The other night I received this through SMS:

One day, a $1 bill and a $100 bill got folded together and began talking about their life experiences.
$100 began to brag:
"Ive had a great life! I've been in the wallets of fortunate 500 board members, I've flown from one end of the country to the other. I've been in the wallet of two presidents of the US, and once, when Princess Diana visited, she used me to buy a pack of gum."
In awe, $1 humbly responded:
"Gee, nothing like that has ever happened to me. But I have been to church a lot."

Life can't be measured by how much you have or how little, not by what you have or what you don't have, not by how many friends you have or how less. Well, you get the picture. It's how you appreciate the blessings that God continues to give us. I pity my classmate/ex-friend (hmm, issue itich) that has this kind of attitude, she continuously makes friends just because she can get something from them. And when she got what she needed, she leaves them and even stabs them at the back. Tsk, tsk.

She even tells lies just to somehow improve her image. And it works, unfortunately, for the circle of friends she has right now. Pero not with us, buko ka na namin. At naiintindihan na namin kung bakit ka ganyan. Inggitera ka kasi. I'll just pray for you, real hard.

Mmm. Sarap. :P

Happy anniversary, Kulot. Labyu. Mishu. Mwah! :P

Ay nako, stress.

2007-10-13T23:00:00.000+08:00

Pwede ba? Mahirap bang intindihin? Ha? Islow-ness. Kasi nga hindi pwede magkita-kita lahat bukas kasi sina Paw at Yas may make-up duty from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. Pagkatapos naman ng duty, susunduin ni Paw ang lola niya sa airport. Si Yas may lakad din. Ako, pupunta ko ng Imus kasi nga ipapa-check-up 'yung lolo ko (matigas kasi ulo nun, ayaw pa-check-up kaya pupwersahin namin siya bukas). Si Rianne pupunta ng Taguig, may aasikasuhin din. Sira na ang weekend ko dahil dyan sa case presentation na yan (Octoberfest kaya)! Friday pa lang wala nang pasok, eh di sana nun pa tayo nagkita. Bukas Sunday na! Monday ang presentation. Hay, life.

Bukas sa make-up duty, doon na lang kukuha ng pwedeng i-present. Kung madaming itanong sa Monday, hayaan niyo sila. Kasalanan naman nila 'yun, ilang days lang bago tayo na-inform, at wala na tayong naka-schedulae na duty, saan naman tayo kukuha ng case? Kuhanan ng picture ang chart, i-send through MMS sa akin. At ako na bahala i-send sa mga e-mails niyo. Kung hindi makakalusot ang picture, kopyahin na lang lahat!

Kapag na-type niyo na 'yung mga naka-assign sa inyo, send niyo sa e-mail ko at kay Xiao. Ako na bahala mag-ayos ng written output, si Xiao naman sa Powerpoint. Maliwanag?! Mga anak kayo... ng nanay niyo. ;p Imbyerna.

Define stress: Jon-Jon. Period.

Sterilized.

2007-10-11T19:42:00.000+08:00

Finally, I had the time to clean my room (after it acquired at least half-centimeter of dust) last week. LOL. And as I've said, I'm going to post pictures of it here. But it turned out I took too many pictures, and I don't want my blog to be flooded with it, so I decided to just post it at my Multiply site. Just click the image below. So there.

And (kung meron man) do comment about it here.

In love.

2007-10-07T15:31:00.000+08:00

I approached him while he was surrounded by kids trying to kiss his cheek or hold his hand. I was shy at first, but shyness would lead me nowhere, so...

Me: Pwede tayo magpa-picture?
Him: (simply made a hand gesture telling the kids around him to be quiet)
Me: Okay lang?
Him: (nodded)
Me and Raquel: (smiled)

Raquel, Jollibee, Me.

After Jollibee agreed to have a picture taken, he ran to the escalator and waved goodbye. Sweet. :P Siguro hinintay niya lang talaga kami. Haha.

The boys are out tonight.

2007-10-04T00:25:00.000+08:00

Since I transferred from that school to this school, I have been with this group of people, and that's about three years, no, make it two and a half, yes. I started and ended my day with them, literally. We were classmates, so we attended class together, ate lunch together, took down notes, listened to lectures (well, not all the time), had our duties at hospitals, shared baon, did projects, skipped class, drank, and got drunk. LOL.

Top (From L to R): Melvyn, Francis, JP, Oseng
Bottom (From L to R): Geoffrey, Ronnel, Justin, Warren

Top (From L to R): Melvyn, Francis, JP, Oseng
Middle (From L to R): Ronnel, Justin, Warren
Bottom: Geoffrey

We always had our BFF UBE (Best Friends Forever Ultimate Bonding Experience; thanks, Rianne ;P): went at Tagaytay and drank beer at Shell Treats, visited the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine/Chapel, tumambay sa 7-11, went at Warren's grandma's house and had dinner, got stranded, celebrated birthdays, applied for a license at PRC, cooked food and watched DVDs at Janno's house, played basketball, drank about a hundred or more bottles of beer (redundant-ness), had pedicure, and went swimming, to name a few. You guys even went at our house and took a bath, halos maubos niyo 'yung tuwalya namin sa bahay. Si Justin at Warren sabay naligo. Haha. ;P

Hay. But eventually, each of us got separated like leaves falling out of a tree. One by one until only the three of us (me, Raquel, and Ariane) were left. It was okay at first because the leaves that fell remained on the same ground where the tree stood. But time passed and the wind swept the leaves away where the tree can no longer see or feel it. What happened to us? What happened to our friendship?

Back then we were inseparable. Now? It's rare that we see each other and you guys even ignore us... like you never knew us, like we never became friends. Aww. And when you do, all you say were, "Oy. Wala kayong klase," and "Sige, una na kami."

Now that the three of us have our new set of friends, you're gonna tell us that you're jealous? Ano kaber? Most of the time, we're with them because our classrooms are on the same floor. So, we see each other often, we go out of the room just to chat with them, and they do the same. Much like how we guys were before.

We miss you, really. Let's drink... coffee (ano daw) some time. Ha?

I did this while listening to Magic 89.9. Boys' Night Out. ;P

Desperate Housewives fan no more.

2007-10-03T18:54:00.000+08:00

I am a fan of the TV series Desperate Housewives, and since I can't watch it regularly I bought a DVD which I never really finished watching. And maybe I will not finish watching, due to this:

We are writing to express concern and hurt about a racially-discriminatory comment made in an episode of Desperate Housewives on 9/30/07. In a scene in which Susan was told by her gynecologist that she might be hitting menopause, she replied, "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines."

As promised.

Hell week. Kasi this week naka-schedule ang section namin for Revalida / Return Demonstration. Ako, sa Friday pa (ayos sana kasi wala akong pasok from Monday to Thursday kaya lang, swerte talaga kasi hindi pinalampas ng mahal naming Level Head Adviser ang araw na pwede kami mag-duty, kaya may pasok pa din kami ng Monday at Tuesday). Sa dami ng kasamang procedures, kalokohang ma-memorize ko ang mga 'yun. Hindi ko makita ang rationale kung bakit kelangan habang ginagawa mo yung procedures eh sinasabi mo pa yung gagawin mo. Kapag nasa ospital ka na at mag-a-assist ka sa operasyon, at kailangan mong mag-scrub, sasabihin mo pa ba ang,

"Take note of the time you started scrubbing. Wet hands and forearms using foot or knee control. Apply antiseptic from dispenser to hands. Blah."

Hay. Bahala na si Batman. Heto 'yung ilang procedures na kasama. Syempre lahat kelangan aralin pero dalawa lang ang gagawin mo talaga. Swerte ka kapag nabunot mo eh 'yung hindi mo naaral o nabasa man lang. Hah. At merong mga CI (clinical instrucor) na hindi mo lang masabi ang isang salita ay mamarkahan niyang "not done" ang step na 'yun. Heto 'yung ilan sa mga procedures na kasama:

Enema
Catheterization
IV Therapy
Oxygen Therapy
Gastric Gavage / Lavage
IV / Oral Medication
Bed Making
Surgical Scrubbing
Surgical Gowning
Open and Closed Gloving Technique
Instrument Identification
Serving of Gown and Gloves
Bag Technique
IMCI
Leopold's Maneuver
Vaginal Delivery
Newborn Care

22 days to go. ;p

Bored.

2007-09-25T21:53:00.000+08:00

Warning: I have nothing really interesting to blog about.

The Powerpuff Girls did some crazy stuff this week which includes:

Placing YOU'RE DEAD cards on our friends' cars (yeah, the idea came from Meteor Garden).

Well, we already did that before using 1/4 sheet of yellow pad paper and using a highlighter for the text. Mas mukhang sosyal ngayon, di ba?

Tattooing our friend, Mark's arm while he was sleeping.

See my name? Nakalagay, "Meryl sexy." No need to tell me, adik ako, I know. And, I'm aware, too, that I'm not sexy (LOL).

Told you, walang kwenta.

Happy birthday, Myk. Miss you lots. ;P

Jon: Muy, may sasabihin ako sa 'yo. Wag ka magagalit sa 'kin ha.
Me: Ano na naman 'yan?! Sabi ko sa 'yo wag mong ibibigay number ko. Mag-aaway talaga tayo.
Jon: Hindi, hindi, may pinapabigay sa 'yo.
Kerwin: Parang alam ko na 'yan. Haha. Galing sa pasyente ko 'yan.
Me: Pambihira talaga kayo, ayaw niyo pa kasi tigilan. Pag-uuntugin ko kayo eh. Sabihin n'yo kasi kunyari may jowa na ko. Tinanong na din ako nung mga ka-ward n'yan kanina. Kinorner ba naman ako habang andun ako sa station. Sabi ko may boyfriend nako. Hehe.
Jon at Kerwin: Hahaha!
Me: Sige, tawa pa. Tsk, tsk.
Kerwin: Pabasa ako, bilis.

Me at Kerwin: (nosebleed)
Maricar: Shala! Haha. Muy Muy, sulatan mo din, Sabihin mo, pakitagalog po, hindi po namin maintindihan.
Me: Hahahaha!

Sa mga groupmates ko: Mga ungas kayo! May araw din kayo. Bwahahahaha! Salamat nga pala dahil adik din kayo katulad ko. ;P Last duty na natin 'to ngayong sem. Sana next sem, eh kayo pa din ang ka-group ko. Pwera lang kay Gary, imbyerna! Hehehe.

Hello? Fourth year??

2007-09-18T10:43:00.000+08:00

Kasi naman 'di ba nasa fourth year na tayo. 'Yung requirements na kelangan i-submit e pang-first year lang. Bakit ang dami pa din nagtetext? Nag-send ka na nga ng form through e-mail, 'yung iba gusto pa through SMS. Dalawang forms na nga lang ang kailangan, dinagdagan ko pa ng dalawa. Aba, may humihirit pa, pahinigi na din daw ng ganitong form. Pambihira talaga kayo o. Tsk, tsk.

O baka mamaya may magpa-print pa.

Simula ngayon, susubukan kong maging madamot.

Pumasok ang gustong pumasok. Magpasa ng requirements ang gustong magpasa. Kung hindi mo alam ang gagawin mo, 'wag mong gawin. Simple.

Kung mababasa mo 'to ngayon at makikita mo ko mamaya. Mas mabuting huwag ka na lang magsalita. Mainit ang ulo ko.

Kasi naman 1:00 am na ako nakauwi kanina. Tinawagan ako ni Raquel at tinanong kung gusto ko daw sumama kumain ng chicken feet. Syempre sumama ako, chicken feet kaya 'yun (kapag natikman mo 'yung chicken feet na 'yun, malilimutan mo 'yung pangalan mo, seryoso). Kaya pagkatapos ng 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm shift namin, e dumeretso pa ko sa bahay nina Raquel. Kaya lang pagdating namin wala na, sarado na 'yung bilihan. Kaya valenciana na lang ang pinagtripan namin.

Thank you nga pala, Raquel, Mark, at Ate She para sa pinakamaagang breakfast na na-experience ko: 12:00 mn. Valenciana, pan de sal, liver spread, beef steak at kape.

At kay Mang Mike nga pala, kasi bukas 'yung kainan niya 24 hours.

Natutulog pa ako manggigising na kayo.

Hay life, parang buhay.

Blood is thicker than water.

2007-09-16T21:25:00.000+08:00

Pinsan ko sina Paeng at Ads. Paano ko sila naging pinsan? Hmm. Kasi magkapatid ang erpats nila at ermats ko. Martin ang apelyido nila, at sakto, akalain niyong 'yun din ang middle name ko. Hehe.

Hindi kami ganoon ka-close nina Paeng at Ads. Minsan lang kasi kami magkita. Nakatira kasi kami sa Gen. Trias, Cavite at sila naman ay sa Imus, Cavite. Medyo malayo kapag nagbiyahe. Pero kung hindi naman, may pwedeng daanang shortcut na 30-minute-drive lang. Nagkikita lang kami 'pag may okasyon: pasko, birthday ni Nanay Mardy (ang aming lola na tinatawag kong mahal na inang reyna noong nanunuod pa ako ng Princess Hours), birthday ni Tatay Edo (lolo ko, jowa ni Nanay Mardy), ganun. Madalang lang kasi sila magpakita. Mas close pa nga yata kami ni Tita Lou (ermats nila). Hehe.

Pero masaya naman sila kasama. Ayos din. Naalala ko, nagpunta kaming magpipinsan sa Island Cove noong bakasyon. Libre lang kasi may privilege card 'yung isang Tita pa namin. Kami-kami lang magpipinsan, walang mga nanay o tatay, naisipan lang naming mag-bonding. Ayos naman, swimming, kwentuhan, bili ng pagkain (bawal kasi magdala ng pagkain sa loob ng resort). Noong medyo gabi na, wala na kaming magawa kaya napag-tripan naming magpipinsan 'yung mga lata ng softdrinks na naubos na namin. Pinagpatong-patong namin 'yun hanggang sa makapagtayo ng tower. Oo, ganoon kadami (wala kasing available na softdrinks na nasa bote, puro sa lata). Ang hindi ko malilimutan ay ang sinabi ni Paeng:

"Puro softdrinks 'yang binili n'yo. 'pag naubos 'yan, mamaya uhaw na ulit kayo. Sayang. Kung beer na lang sana ang binili niyo, e di ayos. Pareho lang naman ang presyo. Bukas may hang-over pa kayo."

Tama nga naman. May point siya.

Heto na ngayon. Punta naman kayo dito o (turo sa ibaba). Salamat. *wink*

Feeling ko nagiging TV na ang blog ko. 'Yung mga post ko ang palabas, at 'yung mga advertisement naman ang commercial. Toink!

Time out.

2007-09-15T08:18:00.000+08:00

Nakakapagod na mag-senti. Madalas, kapag nakikinig ako ng kanta sa phone ko, e 'yung mga upbeat songs na malungkot 'yung lyrics ang pinapatugtog ko. Tulad ng:

How Do I Breathe - Mario
Outta My System - Bow Wow
Do You - Ne-Yo
Stolen - Dashboard Confessional
Go On Girl - Ne-Yo

Syempre, 'pag una mong narinig 'yung mga kanta, iisipin mo tunog hiphop o r&b, pero senti talaga 'yun. Pesteng mga kanta 'yan. Ayoko namang burahin sa phone ko 'yung mga kanta. At least ngayon, pinipilit kong hindi pakinggan 'yung mga kanta para hindi ako ma-aning. ;p

Hay. Sabi nga nila, "Pretending has always been easier than explaining."

There are times that I almost believed everything you've uttered, that everything you did was to make me feel better and to somehow paint a smile on my face. Somehow I forgot to stop make believing that all this is just a temporary high. I thought I had you, the same way that you had me. But I was wrong. So wrong that the impact broke and left my heart to pieces. Back then we had us. Now, we only have you and me and the things that happened in between.

Forgive me, I'll be tougher, I'll be smarter... I promise.

Push the limit, animo spirit.

Although, we're not that close and we didn't have the chance to get to know each other really well, I'll still promote Animoism, after all, they're my good friend Raquel's friends. Ang gulo yata?

I don't have the right to make you stay. What you want to do is up to you. You can be with me today and be gone the day after. It's okay (well, not really). As I've said, I have no right. It was I who pushed you away. I would've said sorry a thousand times but it would make no difference. You still won't forgive me.

My smile begins and ends with you. My days are incomplete without thoughts of you. Each day I long for the time when I can be with you again. With you, I can spend a moment doing nothing and feel completely happy, really. I can simply walk around and have this big grin on my face. Or have lunch and laugh my heart out (okay, exaggerating). You always find a way to make me smile. I enjoyed every moment spent with you, where two different people are at the same place at the same time. But that was then. Whatever will happen to the now, I do not know.

I try to understand. Or at least make up things in my head just to make myself feel better. I try to be okay but I really am not. Thanks, anyway. If this is what you want, I can't do anything. But hey, I can wait. It's funny how you can make me wait for a long time although I am impatient. So, if ever you change your mind...

I won't say I can't live without you because I can. I'm just being realistic. It's just that living would be much better with you by my side.

Now I have to let go of what I thought I owned but, is it okay if I don't say goodbye to you? So, 'til then.

Happy Birthday, Oseng!

[From L-R: Meryl, Raquel, at Ariane. At sa gitna, ang birthday cake ni Oseng. ;p]

Note: Sa school, ang tawag sa'ming tatlo ay Power Puff Girls (syempre ako si Bubbles). Kasi lagi kaming magkasama at ang paborito kong kulay ay blue, si Raquel naman ay green, at si Ariane ay pink. Seryoso. At sa friends namin, 'yung talagang lagi naming kasama, na may bilang na 15+, kaming tatlo lang ang babae. Hmm.

Nag-celebrate si Oseng ng birthday niya kahapon. Saan? Sa bahay nina Niño. Sa lahat siguro ng bahay ng mga kaibigan ko, kina Niño na yata pinakamaganda mag-inom. Bakit? Malaki 'yung bahay nila. Madami silang refrigerator, at lahat 'yun, madaming laman. May hotdog, chicken fingers, bacon, at kung ano pang mga karne na makikita mo sa meat section ng isang grocery store. At kumpleto sa spices. Haha. Libre pulutan. *wink*

Para sa mga kaibigan ko na nagtataka kung bakit hindi ako nalalasing, malalaman niyo na kung bakit. Lagi n'yo na lang sinasabi na lalaki kasi ako kaya hindi ako nalalasing, mga bruha! Grr.

Bago dapat magsimula ang inuman, kelangan siguraduhin mo kung sino ang magtatagay. Dapat close kayo.
Kapag feeling mo eh may tama ka na, sabihan mo 'yung tanggero na tuwing ikalawang ikot ka na lang niya tagayan. Kung ayaw niya, babaan niya na lang 'yung tagay. Compromise ang tawag dun.
Kung hindi mo na talaga kaya. Be honest. Mas maganda 'yun kesa naman patago mong itatapon 'yung beer. Sayang. May mga taong gustong malasing.

So, 'yun lang ang sikreto ko kaya hindi ako nalalasing. Tsaka may mga pagkakataon na umaalis 'yung nagtatagay eh ako ang pinagtatagay niya, kontrolado ko ngayon kung sino ang malalasing at sino ang hindi (evil laugh). Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero laging ganun kapag umaalis 'yung tanggero, "Mhe, ikaw muna magtagay ha, saglit lang." Siguro, for the same reason na lalaki ang tingin nila sa'kin. Grr.

'Eto ako at si Ariane bago magsimula 'yung inuman.

Nung nag-iinuman na.

At pagkatapos ng inuman.

Haha. Syempre joke lang.

Happy birthday ulit, Oseng!. Sa Friday ulit, birthday celebration naman ni Raquel. Wee. Occasional drinker lang ako, pero patay 'pag September, madaming occasion. Haha.

"Ayoko na mag-inom," ang famous line ko pagkatapos ng inuman.

Hoy, Papa Jp, hindi porket pogi ka, eh pwede mo na kaming paasahin. Bakit hindi ka pumunta? Ha? Pupunta daw, pupunta daw, ewan!

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you.
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart.
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far.

And I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around.
So come around...

Wala akong pasok ngayon kaya naisipan kong ayusin 'yung Friendster account ko. May nag-post ng comment dun tungkol sa Xpango. Ngayon lang ang ako nagkaroon ng time na bisitahin 'yung site.

And I found out they're giving away free mobile phones, MP3 players, and gaming consoles. You need to register first, then you choose a gift according to category, which are, as I've mentioned, mobile phones, MP3 players, and gaming consoles, then you need to earn credits required to get your free gift, and they'll deliver it to you for free. Wow.

I chose the Nokia N95 as my free gift. Hehe. You can help me get it by clicking this link. My referral ID is 90738164.

Why don't you give it a shot? Wala namang mawawala.

Napakasuplado mo talaga.

I thought I took one step, I took two back.
I'm not even close this time, and that's a fact.
All I know is that we'd be the perfect match.
So where you at love?
I just gotta find you, yeah...

How can I not say sorry if I really am sorry?

Sorry. I didn't mean to say the things I've said. I know I've hurt you, and again, I'm sorry. What happened was plain misunderstanding . I misunderstood your intentions so I blurted out what I felt. And by blurting out, you misunderstood me. It was an honest mistake, wrong choice of words.

You're the only person who completely understood the pain and fear I went through before. You've been there for me, and just being there was enough. You helped me through the process of moving on, whatever moving on meant, by making me smile every single time. I enjoyed every moment spent with you. That's why I feel so guilty. This is not how I would like to repay your kindness.

I don't know how I can make you stay, but if I can't, then I'll accept it. I just hope you'll forgive me.

Sori na.

Hah. I'm such a loser.

It feels so different being here, I'm so used to being next to you.
Life for me is not the same, there's no one to talk to.
I don't know why I let it go too far, starting over is so hard.
Seems like everywhere I try to go, I keep thinking of you.
I just had a wakeup call, wishing that I never let you fall.
Baby your not to blame at all when I'm the one that pushed you away...

Confessions of an OC.

2007-09-04T16:58:00.000+08:00

Myk inspired me to write this post. I am a self-denied OC. Okay, well I'm not denying it, it's just that I don't want to be called one or I don't want anyone telling me, "Ang OC mo talaga," whenever I exhibit my OC-ness.

Long before I knew about OCD or realized that I am an OC in some way, I have noticed that there are some things I do which other people normally do not. These actions/compulsions take most of my time, especially when I am cleaning my room.

1. Whenever we have handouts that are photocopied, I remove the staple wire, arrange the pages properly, make sure that the edges are perfectly aligned, then I staple it again. And when I fold these handouts, I make sure I make the fold at the exact center of the paper.

2. All of the contents of my pencil case (yes, I have one), are labeled with my name: pens, pencils, correction tape, ruler, stapler, etc. My books are neatly covered with plastic and they contain the same label as to the contents of my pencil case. I place the label beside the author/s's name/s.

3. I have my clothes arranged according to color (from light colors to the darker one).

4. Whenever I clean my room, I move the furnitures so that I can wipe the ceiling and the walls. Wipe, meaning I wipe it first with a wet rag, then a dry one. As Myk said, "Parang OR cleaning day." Haha.

5. Whenever I have to submit a requirement for school or I just have to type something, I make sure that the titles and subtitles of the document are aligned. Meaning all roman numerals aligned, all capital letters aligned, all numbers aligned, all bullets aligned.

Tama na muna 'yan. Wala na ako maalala. Pero madami pa, I assure you.

I'm planning on posting something about how my room looks like, I'll probably post some pictures, too. So you'll be able to see how much of an OC I am.

Argh! OC-ness.

Gary: Meryl, baon ka ng mango juice.
Me: O sige, dadalhan kita bukas. Promise.
Gary: Sige. Ano gusto mo dalhin ko na bread? Nagdodorm na kasi ako. Dun ako bibili sa bakery malapit sa school.
Meryl: Spanish bread. ;p Dala ka ha.
Gary: Meryl. Huwag mo muna ipapatikim 'yung mango juice sa iba. Ako dapat mauna. Okay.
Me: O sige. sa 'yo 'yun. Ikaw bahala kung sino gusto mong bigyan.

(And by saying iba, he meant that even I was not allowed to drink from that mango juice I was supposed to bring.)

Raymond: Magdadala ba ng OB bag bukas?
Me: Oo, dala ka. Hindi pa kasi natin kilala yung CI (clinical instructor), baka mahigpit 'yun. Dala ka din ng pagkain. ;p
Raymond: Hindi ako magdadala ng pagkain, pwede naman ako manghingi sa 'yo di ba? Hehe.
Me: O siya sige. Dadamihan ko 'yung pagkain, dadalhan na din kita ng kutsara't tinidor. Kafal.
Raymond: Para kang bago ng bago. 'Yung mga artista ba pag may shooting hindi naman sila nagdadala ng pagkain. 'Yung staff na bahala sakin.
Meryl: Fine. So, naging PA pa pala ko ngayon?! Upakan kaya kita dyan.
Raymond: Tsaka 'yung mango juice ni Gary Bleza, wag mo kalimutan.
Me: Masusunod po kamahalan.
Raymond: Salamat alipin.

Kapag ganyan ang mga ka-group mo sa RLE, parang mas gusto ko pa yatang umabsent at mag make-up duty na lang mag-isa. Grr.

"No matter how badly I might have failed in the past, it's done and today is a new day to make things better."

It doesn't matter how many times or how badly we have failed in the past, the important thing is that we learned lessons along the way.

And I'll try my best not to commit the same mistakes.

Thank you God for ending this phase in my life. It was hard. But still being here and alive makes it worthwhile. Thank you.

Here goes.

There are so many things happening in my life right now but I still can't write a decent entry about it. Probably because I have been gone for too long so trying to explain would eventually lead to chaos. Hey, it's hard to explain something that has happened for a period of almost two years into a single entry. But I'll try.

I broke up with someone. And he won't let me go. He's threatening me. So, even if the love has faded and has been replaced by fear, I will try and patch things up (or, that's what he wants to happen anyway). I don't wanna do this but I have no choice. I want to keep my family and friends out of this mess I've made.

Am I making sense?
