finally

finally!

anyway i'll just be posting two days of my vacation at a time. i don't have the determination to create 4 accounts of photobuckets for just one post.

so i'm back. i don't ever think that my fingers could move as fast as my mind can recall the things that has happenned these past weeks. so i'm doing my fingers a favor. i'm posting chronologically. maybe even bulleted haha.
plus the fact that i'm still in vacation mode right now. i still can't believe that my vacation in dumaguete is over and i'm back here in manila. back to the normalcies of my life. darn.

january 26

mom and jamie arrived in manila. yuri and i picked them up at the airport and proceeded straight to the hotel. tita dang and tito toto were there with phoebe and anlo. tita dolly followed too after work. went home at around 4 in the morning.

yeah i played with the camera and did this like so many other amateurs would do

january 27

tita guing arrived. met them at the hotel. same room. i forgot what else happenned on that day.

january 28

graduation day. not that special really. we just had to endure (700)600 plus names being called on stage. good thing there was only one honorary doctorate degree given on our graduation. ate together with jen's and yuri's family at the aristocrat for lunch. then at luk foo for dinner.

i guess mommy's proud

me, mommy, and jamie

tita patsy, yuri, and tito lad

notice the face on my shoulder. yuri, jen, and i

january 29

mommy, jamie, tita guing and the kids left for dumaguete.

january 30

phoebe, yuri and i left too for dumaguete. had the most wonderful arrival ever. as soon as i stepped on the tarmac, i took in all the air that my lungs could take. "finally..."

goodbye manila

this is a life vest. who knew this is a suffocating vest?

yeah, it's impossible for me not to take this picture

yuri liked the donut

touchdown, dumaguete!

is he squinting or he really closed his eyes?

the famous balut at the boulevard and ari

ok. that's it for today. tomorrow will be the day at the beach!

ciao!

college rites

college rites

yesterday was our college graduation. or so we thought. nobody told us that our college graduation was today and yesterday was just the practice. dammit, now i've nothing to wear and i decided to skip the college graduation ceremonies.

so instead of attending the baccalaureate mass, we went to providence for some vocal exercises. it was fun.

now pics.
click small pics to enlarge

me: picture!
them: let's go!
me: ok, 1..2..3..
and then the two girls took their own picture


we were actually taking a picture of drew


moomoo and mommy

i like this whoring picture of me.




"jen, picture tayo kunyari masaya tayo"






yuri


double trouble

it always takes two


cam whoring at graduation rehearsal

we actually stopped and let jen take this pic

this is a bad picture but this is the only group pic i have


abner at haagen

when i took this bread talk picture, a security guard came to me and says "sorry sir, but we don't allow pictures of our store." and whuddyaknow, my battery ran out. so i was like "uhh, ubos na yung battery eh.." the guard, feeling helpless and stupid, "ok sir, ok na yan." thanks dumbo!

ciao!

the week

the week

ok. let me catch my breath.

so. i've been murdering myself with cleaning the apartment. i used to say that i should clean the apartment two weeks before mommy gets here. but due to the inconsistency of my mind in remembering dates, it was only last friday that i knew it's gonna be this week.

and my bad. it was only three days ago since i started cleaning. for some reason, i don't see anything else to clean besides the kitchen, which is hopeless - unless i can look for someone to fix broken doors and replace cupboards etc, etc, etc - the bathroom, the terrace, which are all done by the way, thank you very much.

ok, so there's the laundry. i really don't think i have to do that, do i? OMG. i just remembered now that i have to give my dog a bath. lol. so i would do that tomorrow. don't say anything yet, i'm going to buy something to wear tomorrow for college graduation bitches. ;)

so what is in store for me this week:

today: go to my aunt's office to get the money to pay for the ticket. buy something to wear tomorrow.
tomorrow: go to school at 8am (i know), get the academic attire aka toga, baccalaureate mass, college graduation, class picture taking, and university graduation practice, go out and party.
26: check in the hotel, meet tita dolly at the hotel, jen's despedida, buy something for someone, pick mommy at the airport at 12am.
27: probably still at the hotel, duh. maybe go with mommy to see the apartment, go out, eat out, buy a polo shirt i guess
28: graduation day. 9-2pm. 1000+ graduates. goodluck.
29: doing nothing. HINT HINT HINT!
30: dumaguete baby!

ciao!

read if youre bored, dont if youre not

read if you're bored, don't if you're not

my day starter

yesterday, my day started late. i woke up at 3 in the afternoon. i am supposed to go to school to submit the CD of my thesis. i was too cranky so i decided to read friends' blogs. then i got bored then hit the showers and i was all ready to go. i went to school and arrived almost 5. the department should be closing at 5:30. but i made it.

the cd cover i made looked like this!


front back

after the bittersweet moments of walking through the corridors of my university - the place where i used to study (stress on the tense) and practically built my world in - i went inside the chapel. i had my very own baccalaureate prayer. hehe. i just sat there and thought about what i have gone through, even in pre-school, elementary and high school, what i am going through and what i will go through. *sigh*

i then went back to UM. where, again, i usually hang out with friends. together wiht my friends, we played card for 3 and a half hours. i literally almost dropped because i was so exhausted both from thinking of my cards and standing up. i was so hungry i hadn't eaten since i woke up. the only thing in my stomach is the cold coffee i had at 3. then someone brought carbonarra. yay! haha. it was really not for me but the one who was offered it didn't like carbonarra. so i just helped myself to a really generous serving of it. i think i ate almost 3/4 of what isn't mine. haha.

casino filipino

the friends whom i was playing with, brenda and mea, were all so giddy to go already. we're going to the casino with abner and yuri. i don't play but i just go there with them. apparently, i enjoy watching their facial expression when they win or lose. i think i went with them enough to make a conclusion that when abner loses he smokes frequently on the table, eyes and shoulders drooped, all quiet and has this really serious potanginang-yan-ang-laki-ng-talo-ko-pero-babawi-ako look on his face. yuri on the other hand, is all fake-smiles and all sabi-ko-na-eh-dapat-tinaya-ko-na-yung-500-ko-eh. hay funny. but there's one common thing about these two funny gamblers: all the gamblers in table will be irritated by their banter when they're winning. haha. one will look at them wryly and the other will try make them see that they are too loud.

i played. hahahahahahahahaha. i was just watching yuri play pontoon and i immediately got the hang of it. i was betting on my mind and all my bets were just winning. so i told yuri to bet me 200 on his. i lost. i think i really have this ill luck on gambling haha. last time i bet, which was my first time, beginner's luck turned into beginner's bad luck. anyway i was not to make myself owe yuri 200 so i sat down on the table and bet 100 just to be sure. i won. then i bet 200 again and i won again. i don't exactly remember the whole thing but my highest earnings were 450. yeah yeah, it's JUST 450 but like i said, i don't gamble. anyway, yuri told me to bet my extra 50 pesos to the tie where winning is 1:10. i thought so, too. but i just let it slip away. but wuddya know, i had a double jack! fuck it! i should have won 500 from that ugly 5 P10 chips!
anyway so abner had 8 grand. yuri had 2. mea had 1. hundred hahahaha. and brenda lost 1,200.

mr. kabab and abs-cbn

we then ate at mr. kabab again. oh my god. that has to be my most satisfying meal. i only had keema and one a half rice and a yoghurt shake but i was so full! you gotta try the yoghurt shake! i'm craving for one right now. too bad i don't have a digicam to take pictures of it. boohoo.

brenda lives literally beside abs-cbn, just a kilometer away from mr. kebab. so we went to her house after. but her ex boyfriend was there so we took off right away. abner and brenda were ex's too. lol.

to marikina and antipolo.

abner decided that we should do misa de gallo - in taytay. since we have nothing to do and to worry about, yuri and i decided why not. so we did. we first went to abner's friend's house in marikina. for about thirty minutes, i was just laying there on the car seat trying to get my forty winks. i couldn't of course, my inarte body just wouldn't. after a while, abner got inside the car again, with yuri snoring at the backseat. we drove straight to antipolo city. tried to sleep again in abner's house but again to no avail. yuri of course easily dozed off. i was in one bed and the two were in another. i was just there laying trying to scare myself thinking there was just a ghost that grabbed my leg.
abner started for the bathroom while i was just there staring at the ceiling, yuri snoring. we went to krizka's house at about 3 am. imagine the length the roads between antipolo and taytay - we were in krizka's house in 7 minutes.

father and his homily

we went to san juan bautista cathedral in taytay, rizal for the simbang gabi. The cathedral was packed with people. I think that was the most attended mass i've ever been to. it was filled to the gardens and people are sprawled outside. anyway, the highlight of the mass was father's homily. it just went on and on and on and on...
after 20 minutes of going around the bushes and adding some commentaries on the social injustices that infect society, add to that the economic woes of the country during the year, he said "mga kapatid, ito ang pagnilaynilayan natin.." you can literally hear other people gasp for relief. but no. father went on, " sapagkat ang kapaskuhan ay panahon ng pagmamahalan, panahon ng paglimot sa kasalanan ng iba at..." then the crowd was quiet again. between father's patriotic speech about loving the philippines, and i think i heard him ask me if i've already fed my dog, the crowd grew restless. i think what father should understand is people in general have very short attention span, add to it the fact that it is 430 in the morning and the cathedral is packed. then we heard him say again "at mga kapatid, ito ang pagnilaynilayan natin sa araw na ito..." then everybody gasped again. but father was in his mood to talk, mind you. he just kept going. he's like the energizer bunny priest, the only thing lacking is the big drum.
by this time, the people were already talking to one another. abner, krizka and i even laughed at the choir who seem to be having their own sermon. we were trying to guess what they were speaking. according to me, one choir member said to her co-member "anong ulam niyo mamaya?" then the co-member replied "ay di ko pa alam. di pa ko namamalengke. baka pagkatapos nitong misa" the people in front of us who were also standing during the whole mass started to sit on the ground. time passed and it was already 5 am. after a few minutes, again, the priest said again " at iyan mga kapatid ang ating pagnilaynilayan natin sa araw na ito..." the people didn't mind him. "sa ngalan ng ama, ng anak..." then one amazing thing happenned.
the whole cathedral clapped their hands. the three of us were all laughing our asses off! we even forgot that we were inside the cathedral.
what's worse is, the only thing that is somehow connected to the gospel in his sermon was about two minutes after he started the sermon. everything else was just "what?!"
it's funny how all the readers and songs were hurried. the offertory was a breeze. after the communion, the three of us decided to go to the entrance of the cathedral so we won't be lost in the crowd when the mass is over.
after mass, we went back to the car to wake yuri, who was still sleeping. we went to the nearby jollibee for our 6 o'clock breakfast. then off to the tabi-tabi of the cathedral to buy bibingka.

after 40 minutes of waiting for the bibingka to cook, we went back to krizka's house. there we stayed until until 9am. abner slept, yuri slept, i watched the tv. no matter how hard i try to sleep, i just can't.

so that was what happened yesterday and today in a hurried, lengthy blog. i have no sleep. we got home at 11 and slept and woke up again at 3 and slept again until 630. damn.

i just wish i have my normal sleeping habit again. now.

ciao!

culmination

the culmination

i have not been posting about my thesis here. maybe it's because i don't want to preempt myself if ever i get deferred hehe. but just early this morning, i managed to get almost everything right and was able to get a grade of 2.0 for my defense. not high, not low either. but it's ok i guess. at least i'm graduating already. not to mention the 3.750 grade my professor and boss gave me.

segue:
which leads me to think: what's next? dang. do i bum around first and get my mind all hyped up for something better to come along or maybe be depressed again whenever i'm all alone in the house doing nothing? *sigh*
and by the way, i want to acknowledge mr/ms anonymous for the comment about me being manic depressive. i guess it's true, but so what? at least i don't go around reading other people's blogs and stalking them. i'm expecting some bitchface to retaliate now. but who the hell cares? i don't.

not that you care but:
i'm reading jessica zafra's book: twisted 7. she's just a smart ass and it's funny reading her stuff. i was laughing the whole time for her sarcasm and i didn't know it was already 4:30 in the morning. and that was the night before my defense. talk about getting some sleep the night before.

i've also just finished reading isabel allende's the stories of eva luna. it was good. it's actually a good reading material before you sleep because every chapter is a new story. before this though, i read like water for chocolate. good story. good characters. i just don't like the fact that it reminded me of some characters in real life that in the first place i'm trying to forget. i'm looking for the movie version on limewire but i just can't find it. damn.

next on my reading list will be the tale of genji. i've managed to start it up to the 5th chapter but i though i should read eva luna first. so i have to read it again from the first chapter because i don't exactly remember the story anymore.

characters that i loved on the books i've read:
samwise gamgee - the lord of the rings
i super loved his character. i can relate to him in numerous instances. like for example when he has to carry the ring for frodo. o well.

chiyo/sayuri - memoirs of a geisha
oh that subtle charm and festiness. i especially like the time when she was under mameha's guidance. i'm waiting for the movie and the trailer said it's to be shown on 2006 pa. darn.

frank - angela's ashes
that sad story. that sad childhood. though my childhood was very very much different from him, i cannot help but empathize with him. imagine in the first 50 pages, three of his brothers died because they were so poor. sad story. hehe. arse!

those are just three. i can't remember the others anymore. boohoo.

rewind:
i think she read it. i think she knows. i think she's thinking. i think she's still whoring. lol.

whew. i didn't think it will be this long.

ciao!

naughty naughty

naughty, naughty
and a bit of a not-so-random thought

it just hit me. i just passed my thesis paper right on the deadline. 3pm and we were there in the marketing department. cool.

it's funny to see the different faces of people going in the department, though. some were haggard with eyebags that reach their cheeks (yep, including me), sagging faces because of the cramming the night before, out-of-bed hair, pambahay look, and jumpy, panicky personalities. i wish i had a camera to shoot at unaware theses-passers that come in the door. lol.

so. what's so naughty? i was laughing/excited/happy/anxious while im posting THIS!

hindi ko siya pinansin nung una. but this morning, my left elbow was really throbbing in pain. it went away during the rest of the day but when i make a certain posture, it just hurts! i can't reach my back with my hand. what used to be such an easy task of drying myself after bathing is now a pain in the ass!

i need a chiropractor! and i need a 3-hour whole body massage...

===================

i went to school a while ago to pay my tuition for the last term. CAP, like my elbow, has been a pain in the ass for a number of months now. they still hadn't given me the check yet. so armed with three hundred US dollar bills, i went to school. i was scared of handling that amount. good thing jd picked me up on his way to school. problem is, i was supposed to sell my dollar when the bank would not accept it. i didn't know that i need to have an account to have my dollars sold. hello, it was the first time i went to a bank to sell my dollars. i usually go to the black market before. and i was supposed to the other day, but it was already 6pm when i remembered that i have to sell it for me to pay the (soaring) tuition.
anyway, i was in school, not knowing what to do with my dollars. i texted my friend, jen, to ask where i can sell it and she replied "sa harrison!"
again, scared to bring my dollars with me while walking to harrison (bear with the paranoia, it's manila for crying out loud!), i placed it inside my brief along with my 6K peso bills. hahahhahaha! i could only imagine the look on the face of the cashier if she knew where i kept it! lol...
so i was there, exchanged it, went back on a taxi. funny because the sidecars would charge 30 bucks for the distance from my school to harrison and a taxi ride only cost me 32.50! i was spared from the heat, pollution, and a near-death-experience. aannnd! with aircon! hahahaha!
i gave the taxi driver 105 pesos. he gave me 65.00. i demanded 70.00! hello! i am a struggling student who hasn't paid the tuition that was due way before last month! so sorry.

===================

o well, so it's raining tonight. it's kinda frustrating because i did my laundry, using my hands fyi, and when i got out to hang my clothes, it's freaking raining! dang-ness.

===================

i watched a documentary on the lives of filipino artists on i-witness. it somewhat inspired me to paint and draw again. a passion that i have sacrificed for quite a long time now.
i have a friend who will have a one-man show early next year. i'm envious of her. i want to have my one-man show, too! hell, if i can't star in my own play, at least let me have my own freaking one-man show! hahahaha.. well at least while watching it, i drew this.

victorious and unscathed

made it through. victorious and unscathed.

damn i made it. for the first time (and the very last chance) in my college life, i've reached a GPA of above 3!! woohoo!

after long weeks of almost sleepless nights and cramming and planning and squeezing of my brain for more and more ideas, i actually made it.

so yesterday, from noon to the early evening we were drinking. along with my brothers and friends. it was fun. and somewhat depressing, knowing that it will be the last of our academic term. i'm happy too because god answered my prayers for myself and for yuri.
yuri, after almost being sure of failing a subject or two, made it through conadev! *claps*

tomorrow i've got an interview. and this time, it's for smart. i hope my groupmates and i make it through. all hopes rests in Him.

anyway, i'm really sleepy even though it's just 2:30am. so bye for now. i just have nothing to do.

ciao!

finally its over

finally... it's overrr!

so, yeah, finally, it's over! woohoo! the last of my academic term and the start of my on the job training. whew. i always say that i never thought of going this far. but now i'm here.

so anyway, what's up.

last week was my hell week. after doing my thesis for national development, i did my thesis for international marketing, service marketing, public relations in marketing and a business plan for san miguel. i don't count my oral history paper for my phil. history class because it's too easy to be called a thesis. hehe.

anyway, after almost two weeks of sleepless nights (5am or none at all), i can finally sleep the day away tomorrow. yay.

i just came home from my uncle's pub. my friends, elisa and macy, came with me to drink some booze and sing some songs. quite fun actually.

erm what else... i'm sleepy. and it's just 2:30 in the morning. hurray for me! hehe..

next week is another round of job hunting. please lang, wag niyo na kami pahirapan, mahirap ang mag commute at sumagot sa pare-parehong mga tanong!

hehe ciao!

two days

two days

monday
jen was here last saturday to do her project. patty, too was here and she brought us food. not just food but the whole party package of food haha. she brought us chicken, spaghetti, spoons, forks, plates, cups and rice! balloons at boyoyong nalang, kiddie party na! haha..
it was nice of patty to bring us food. kasi di pa nakakakain si yuri ng mga 3 so she brought us the goodies hehe. thanks patty!

tuesday
i didn't know that it's going to be this "easy" for me this term. i have finished half of the things i have to do before the deadline! hurray for me!
so what now? i have a few problems though. my ineterview with nanay is cancelled because nanay left for the states without my knowledge. so i had to find for other sources. good thing vince has lolo that survived world war II. and i got a 3.0 for my philippine history class. AANNDD since we were so good in the global business game (we actually beat students from boston university, kingston and st. paul's), we ranked 5 globally! my professor was so happy that she decided to give us a 4.0 for the course since it is an application of what we have learned. yay! so thats an assured 4.0 for one subject! 5 more to go!

to do list:

• conadev report is on friday. goodluck to me.
• marketing services paper is on the 25th. hope we finish on time
• international marketing paper is on the 18th
• marketing publicity news release is on thursday (and our group hasn't started anything yet!)
• philippine history oral interview presentation is on monday, paper is also on the 25th

haay...

i know i want this to end but when it does, it will mean working already for my OJT.
omg i'm old!!!!!!

ciao!

weekly update

weekly update

this week has been tormenting. after having lost my wallet last week, i had to make do with a green paper slip my school gives to those who lost their id; making entering school premises a long process. but it's ok with me.
i'm also still waiting for the CAP cheque, which is now 2 months pending, to pay my tuition. and enrollment has started already. good thing i only have one subject to take - my thesis. so no more stressing on schedules and number of slots left.
which also brings me to another burden this week. just like what i had expected, the last two weeks of this term will be very stressful becuase all professors will be assigning different papers, projects and theses. i have a thesis on the economic development of a country in ASEAN. i am assigned to do the marketing and human resources part of our business plan for business policies. i need to design a service plan for WG&A Superferry. we need to interview an exporting firm and present the plan and analaysis on class. we need to finish a news release for the national ID system. all these are due next next week. and i have to report about my thesis on economics on wednesday.
about that. i went to DFA a while ago with some friends to resarch about the ASEAN. i know that the library of la salle would suffice but my professor, being the maarteng teacher that he is, wants us to go to different related agencies. ack! unfortunately, we were not able to research because the librarian said that we need to have the referral letter from the library and not from the dean of the department. dang. i was there last wednesday and all she said was for me to present a referral letter on friday and nothing more. had she told me to get that thing from the librarian, i would have gladly done it. but no. she's a big bitch. it's a total waste of time, money, energy and precious gas.
so what did i do after? after running around places while raining, i suddenly felt sick. so, even if i have classes at 3:40 to 6:00, i stayed home and slept. woke up at 8pm. imagine that. i felt so guilty. but then again, the guilt immediately went away after thinking to myself over and over again that it's right for me to rest than suffer the consequences later next week. that would be awful.

so after this quite lengthy post, i still have those papers to be done. so...

ciao!

grown up crisis

grown up crisis

this week has been all about passing resumes and scouting for companies that might hire me for my OJT and maybe for an internship. it made me think hard. what did i want to be in the future. two months from now? after graduation? after five years? where would i be? where would i go? will i have a job by then? a millionaire? studying again maybe? i have no idea.
my mother was telling me before, plan out your life. you cannot just take it as it is. well mother dear, i think everyone goes through this phase, when all of a sudden, everything's a blur. everything is just going too fast. and the insecurities are haunting me, telling me that maybe i'm on the wrong bus and the bus i'm supposed to take has already left. what if i stay here in this place for the rest of my life?!
damn. maybe this is what you call an almost quarter life crisis.
actually i have plans. but i'm not so sure. it's just that - plans. drawings. nothing real.
i just hope that make that plan real and executory by january next year.

january05 - graduate
(possibility #1)
february - go to the US if visa is approved and stay there for atleast 6 months to a year. try out what america has to offer me. if nothing happens, i'll go back here. if something promising happens, then we'll see
(possibility #2)
february - rest and look for a job
april - start working my ass of to become a millionaire by 30

my my my. there is really nothing lofty there. just a fresh college graduate's dream.
owell, don't worry friends, by then this blogspot will still be running.

ciao!

weird

feels weird

i don't know but it feels weird this week. it's so perfect - no fighting, no hard quizzes, no nothing. i could say boring but i'm afraid the man above would listen and give me something else. right now i'm happy. but i'm kinda weirding out already. i'm thinking that this is just the calm before the storm. i don't know. but as of now, i'm enjoying every minute of it.
or i just don't see the logic of it. i was almost on my knees the other week because like i said, i'm having personal and family problems. and i prayed hard for it to be over soon. maybe now's the time.
wow.
and finally, before i end this semi-nonsense post, i want to share to you what has been keeping me busy all night last night up to this moment!






so here are the two bottles.
nothing really special.
except that i made it in photoshop and i'm so damn proud of myself for this! hahaha!
i especially like the way i did the back label. nice!






anyway, since there are two bottles here, why don't we drink to the way my life's been going now... CHEERS!

ciao!

im too lazy to put more pics. anyway that's about it, kami kami rin naman eh.. hehe..

==============

i'm surprised that nothing dramatic happenned to me this week. considering the fact that most of my days last week are indeed too stressful for me to concentrate on one thing. that explains the last posts. anyway, i'm back to my usual happy self. and i've learned to accept the facts as they are with no sugar coating. another weekend, another life, another story, another post.

till the next ish!

ciao!

this pic is funny. guess what's wrong with it.
special mention to my bro daryll who made it.
sorry kathy!

we just watched FANTASTIC FOUR a while ago. it was fun. especially when i get to see rr again after being lost in work for a couple of months now. and macky, too, after he made sumbat his paper i have to make him a collage that usually earns me Php1000 - kidding... i wish.

maybe im feeling bad because i, again, pigged out in the movie house. 2 burgers, a biggie fries and a large iced tea. my stomach is on the works right now and is about to move in about 10 minutes.. how do i know? i really dont.

what a great week, looking forward to the next week. i have to study for my international marketing and philippine history though. midterms on monday.

inxs: i made that thing for my sister. something to do with her kalandian poses.

ciao!

retreat

katagaytayan

i was not all about the retreat the other day. i take it back.
it wasn't all that fun really. for me it was really a retreat. a retreat from my problems here in the city, in this house. a retreat from my daily routines. a retreat from school work. a retreat from reality.
and no, this is not a "reflection" post. so you can continue reading.
it's fun being there because the place is really nice and it's in tagaytay. though it's not as cold as you might think. it's still as if we are in manila, only a few degrees lower. and what made the retreat extra special is that every after session we have, we eat. haha.
one friend even commented: " pare di ka tatanda dito! pucha tignan mo naman, ano naman gagawin mo dito kundi magdasal at kumain?"
i replied: " o sige one week ka dito payag ka? kain dasal lang?"
he replied back: "... ayoko na pala, wala na rin kayo nun eh! hahahaha!"
me: "eh... marami namang madre dyan eh.. diba gusto mo babae?"

we laughed. i know the reply i made was a little tacky. but we were just having fun!

then i went back home again today. back to reality. back to the mess i just made right before i left. back to my school work. back to my daily routines.
this time, i gotta pick up the pieces. no one really told me that everything will be alright after the retreat.
i guess i have to do the picking up by myself.

ciao!

silver lining

silver lining

what a way to end this very stressful week. tomorrow's my retreat.
i'm just annoyed by the fact that i don't have my weekend this week and that i have to wake up early tomorrow and the next day for the sessions. and i'll miss my pc by then.. hehe..
anyway hope those sessions work on me.
wish me luck

i just posted the other day about the hell of going through repressed emotions. yesterday, after my first class, i decided to pass by the chapel and say a quick prayer.. i don't know if it was really a prayer because i just heard it from what i was watching last week and i thought it was the perfect "prayer"

god, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change
the courage to change the things that i can
and the wisdom to know the difference

the feeling of serenity didn't come as quickly as expected. i am only human.. but luckily, during the course of the day i felt ok na...

today, still struggling a bit but still hanging on..

ciao!

fat pig

in my almost four years stay in my beloved la salle, i never thought i'd have a classmate this gross. he is filipino chinese with hair all over and maybe weighs 200 pounds and kinda 6 feet tall.
he sits in front of me and all i can see is his hair covered nape and the crumpled t-shirt on his back. i was writing my notes when i glanced back again to the professor when he finally made a move to the side, kinda lifting his humongous right thigh and guess what? he farted! nakakadire! *pukes* i normally laugh when i hear someone fart but this time, it was way beyond funny, it was UBER GROSS! and a few seconds later came the bomb. i swear i could have died that second.
weird people those comsci peeps... sheesh..

stuffed chicken

i'm a stuffed lazy chicken

yep, i am. and i believe i've done one of the seven deadly sins - gluttony. well, yeah, you might think that i really don't eat anything. but, honestly, when i do, i REALLY do. until my tummy aches, my belt tightens and i feel light and dizzy. but still, i eat. for some reason, i think that i'm not getting the nutrition i needed so i chomp up everything.
today was no exception. i was invited by tita patsy to eat at Dad's. i have never eaten anything today except for my 5pm lunch which consisted of the boring cheeseburger and fries from the golden arches. so when i got there, i ate... and ate... and ate more...
then i saw jen.. haha.. i was supposed to go out for a yosi when i saw them. they looked so pathetic and almost on the verge of tears. i found out that jen's friend's heels got stuck to the metal thingy on the sidewalk and it broke off. haha.. and when i saw them, they were trying to get the other heel off the shoe. it was hilarious! jen even got a cut from the nail that held the heel to the shoe.. funny..
in retrospect, i missed my philhis class today. i was too lazy to come to class because it is in the freaky gokongwei building. fyi: weird people go there. think kristoffer raperoga and computers. gak!
so there's my lazy stuffed pig-chicken day..

ciao!
