Update Galore

2007-01-14T21:31:00.000-08:00

Much apologies for the late update-y. Yah, I know. I always say “sorry this” and “sorry that” nowadays. I have just momentarily lost my interest in blogging. Right now I am currently busy with:

- BLEACH Marathon
- Korean Dramas Marathon
- Law of Ueki marathon (that is, if Michael decides to bring the LOU CD next Tuesday)
- practice for Choir
- practice and review in Spelling for the PSAP (life sucks, I got to be chosen as one of the representatives of our school)
- fanfiction
- finishing Final Fantasy V (GBA Version)
- getting my act together

Well, how ‘bout that? Ain’t I a busy bee? Har har.

I have heard from my grandma that she can feel my disinterest in studying ever since I started getting addicted in anime. Er, well, I have always been this way. It’s much wonder that I even pass without studying (Well, I do study, but in a rushed “Holy-crap-it’s-5-minutes-before-the-test!” kinda way). Anyway, I know that they only want the best for me. They even want me to study at UP (No freaking way I’ll pass, man)!

Aaaaand… I get to go to the JS Prom. Again, I reiterate my statement: Life sucks. Big time. Once again, I have been coerced by my grandma into doing something “fun” and “socially cultivating.” Whatevs. The only thing I am after is the grade. Everyone who gets to go to the prom gets to have an extra grade. Now the bad thing about this is that your 1500 pesos will only account to a grade! They say that even if you pay but still don’t show up, the grade is not applicable to you anymore. Bad, bad, bad! Torture I say!

I just hope that the food in that Manila Hotel is good. *grumbles*

Sm Mall of Asia

2007-01-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry (again) for the late greeting and update! Hehe!

Yesterday was posilutely, absotively fun! Fun! YAY!!! (I’m hyper… Too much sugar in my drink!) CJ, Arwyn and Jedwyn all came to visit and we are all excited. They slept in our house and we all decided to go to SM Mall of Asia (now dubbed comically by Tito Wynn as “SMmall of Asia” with the SMmall being pronounced as small). Though we didn’t go bowling (aww…) or even watch the dolphin show (400 for a seat? C’mon!), we had fun touring the whole place. Strangely enough, most places we visited were bookstores. We visited 5 different bookstores, including Powerbooks, which was where I bought the two new mangas I would add to my collection (well, not really a collection.) Tito Wynn also discovered this unique book that is perfect for a math-problematic person like me. This book has all the tricks for easy computation. By the time you have memorized and mastered the tips, you can compute like an absolute pro. Wah! Wanna buy it! Also, we ate our KFC meal on Sunset Avenue. Haha. Jedwyn had fun walking around, we almost lost him cause we didn’t notice that he was walking away already!

Also, it seems as if CJ and I are high on the same topic: BLEACH! I am still stuck on Bleach! Help! I want to watch it some more! Mommy Astrid, can I watch it in your house? –insert puppy eyes here- I’ll be a good girl, pwamis!

“Minsan may mga problema tayo na mahirap isolve. Naguguluhan tayo at kung minsan ay parang bumibigay na at sumusuko. Pero tandaan mo, nandito lang ako. Hati tayo sa problema mo.”

Hoi! Dolphin Showw Excitement!

2006-12-30T20:09:00.000-08:00

Just took a bath. It is freezing. Freezing cold. I reckon I cannot survive Winter in the U.S. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see snow but I don’t think I can handle the cold weather. (Still, taking a quick shower in the evening is refreshing…).

Guess what? I’ve got good news! We might go to the Dolphin Show in SM Mall of Asia this New Year! YAY! Isn’t it grand??? I’ve seen a dolphin show in Hong Kong before but I never got the chance to take a picture of them or interact with them. Now’s my chance! I would go with Tito Wynn to the show. I am so excited!

LOL. Speaking of MOA, I keep on thinking about the things I would love to buy while still in that mega-mall. I would buy a manga. Any manga would do but if possible, I would like to buy a volume of XXXHolic. Since National decided to stop selling mangas, I have convinced myself that my only hope to purchase an authentic one is through Powerbooks, whose nearest branch is sadly (but fortunately) located on the Mall of Asia. I would also love to buy the super-lurve-able fragrance from Blue Magic. I don’t know what its name is but I recall reading the word “Radiance” in its name. You see, my Mom bought me a bottle of this perfume before she went away. It smells like sampaguita. I wanna smell like sampaguita. Hehe.

Er, is someone reading my posts? I guess not. But you gotta admit, it’s fun knowing that you have a little space on the web!

"Pag umalis ka, maiiwan mo ko. Pero di ibig sabihin nun magmamahal na ko ng iba. Ano pa ba kasi ang hahanapin ko kung ang lahat ng kailangan ko, nasayo na? Mas mabuti na siguro hintayin na lang kita."

Holy Cow!!! An Update!!!

2006-12-29T21:12:00.000-08:00

Whew! I am alive. Yes, alive and breathing. Alive, breathing and still kicking. Sorry to all y'all people who want me to be already six feet under. Hope you don't mind that I am still spreading terror.

We went to Pampanga. It was fun, but tiring. We went to Palazzo Royale to celebrate the 50th Wedding Anniversary of my grandma's sister and then we had a family reunion. We also toured around Clark and I got to witness the Parada of the Parol. We also went to my aunt's house to celebrate her birthday. I also read this creepy nonfiction book about the Rape of Nanking. I'm gonna do a book review about it if I have the time.

Since I am lazy, I'll just leave you guys with this:

1. Good men are ugly.
2. Cute guys have lousy personalities.
3. Cute guys with good character are married.
4. Cute guys with good character and single... are poor.
5. Cute, good character, single, and rich guys... aren't interested in us.
6. Cute, good character, single, rich, and interested in us... Those guys are players.
7. Cute, good character, single, rich guys who are interested in us and are not players... will turn out to be gay.

Periodical Breakdown

2006-12-18T17:07:00.000-08:00

Sorry, sorry, sorry! Omigosh, I forgot to update! How lame is that?

Haha. I just watched Survivor: Cook Islands. I knew Yul would win! Anyway, I’m not here to talk about some crazy reality show. Honestly, a lot of things had been happening and it so overwhelmingly incredible and scary.

We just had the first part of our 3rd Periodical Exams. It is terrible!!! English was fine; I can answer it almost flawlessly. Trigonometry was… Well, it was a heartbreaking thing, indeed it was. I don’t know what the hell I answered in that quiz. Heck, I don’t even know if I’ll pass! My golly gosh, if I do manage to pass, which is already a miracle by itself, I’ll forever be singing praises. And Values? Well, I thought that it was easy. Apparently, it wasn’t! I didn’t know about the Kinds of Evil and their example. What was really evil was that it was worth 20 points… times 2!!! Waaagh! And then there was Chemistry. It was alright… Until the problem solving part. What I wrote and how I even understood it was beyond me. I swear, I’m going crazy. The only thing keeping me sane right now is the thought of an easier and more student-friendly exam tomorrow.

Well, good luck and God bless to me!!! *makes V-sign ala Jasmine style*

Princess Hours is showing now! As in, NOW!!! Aieeeeee!!!

"Sino ka ba para pag-aksayahan ko ng panahon? Sino ka ba para mahalin ko ng sobra pa sa kaya ko? Wala lang. Ikaw lang naman kasi ang mahal ko. Dammit! Sino lang ba ako sa buhay mo?"

Anime Appreciation Club

2006-12-13T07:40:00.000-08:00

Kakulitan corner!

OMG, I don’t know why but I really had fun this day. As usual, school was boring blahblahblah. Let’s move on to the fun part: Going to Mommy Astrid’s house! Yes, I had fun. The plan was to go there and draw the manga “Comet Yard.” We have been planning on drawing it for quite a while now. We already have the concepts and the character designs. So we went there, expecting everything to be all business but it turned out that we managed to not start even 1% of our manga. All of us were having a blast just playing around.

We also ate those spicy pancit cantons. Yeah, it was great! I must admit, it really was spicy but it wasn’t anything I cannot handle. Sa katotohanan, masarap siya! And also, Cruz was very funny because he kept on telling us that he can’t taste what he is eating and that he ate things a thousand times spicier than that pancit canton. However, it was very noticeable how he was sweating like a pig and how his eyes are bloodshot. It looks like he was going to cry. Acosta was the funniest, since he cannot stomach it all and had to endure our laughter at his inability to finish his serving. Using his monay (as his extra food and as a napkin)
and his juice, he managed to eat all of his pancit canton. Hehe.

Then we went crazy over animé songs. Mommy Astrid, Acosta and I are all anime addicts so we talked and talked like there was nothing in the world except us and our own anime world. It’s as if Kat wasn’t even there. I actually felt a little bad, having made her put up with our antics. Aww… She should just join us! Become a member of the Anime Appreciation Club!

Gotta go now. I have to watch Full Metal Alchemist! Bye!

"Falling for someone who doesn’t know your existence would hurt a lot to the point that you want to scream and shout in front of him. But then he would just tell you, “Wala akong ginawa. Ikaw lang tong umasa.”"

Rainy Blues

2006-12-11T21:03:00.000-08:00

It is raining! Omigosh! The weather is so cold; we all have to wear a jacket. I don’t have to turn on the electric fan. Here in the Philippines, I am already freezing cold, what more if I go to US?

I actually thought that classes would be suspended. Ho-hum. I guess that I am expecting too much. Signal No. 1 isn’t a good excuse to pull out highschool students from our classes (What are we, Elementary???).

Our plan went by as planned. Kat didn’t cry, thank goodness. It is better this way than for others to tell it to her before us. We had to tell her not what she wanted to hear, but what she needs to hear. Were we harsh? Nah. Actually, pa-comedy effect pa nga kami eh.

Oh and look at this pic:

Chegyung (Janelle)and Prince Shin (Gian) of Goong (Princess Hours). Cute nila noh? Now I have a sudden craving for lollipop. Hmp! Stupid Sydeco. Maybe that’s why he didn’t come to school today… He forgot to bring me the lollipop I was asking him to bring. Buti pa si Ninong. He promised to give me a million Mentos this Christmas. YAY!

SUnday Exploits

2006-12-10T18:30:00.000-08:00

Well, nothing happened except that Nanay and I went shopping for the Christmas presents I would give to my classmates. Whew! Could you guys believe that I spent almost a thousand bucks for all of the items I bought? Hell yeah! Now I’m a beggar!

We also toured around Virra Mall. It’s some kind of mall located near SM. Actually, it’s not really a mall, it is more of a tiangge where you can find loads and loads of bargain treasures. Great for those who are in a budget yet don’t want to join in the hustle and bustle of Baclaran or Divisoria.

I also bought the new issues of Seventeen and Pink. At first, I was kinda,er, -shall we say intrigued for a lack of a better word?- when I saw Paris Hilton in the cover. Honestly, I’ve never liked that girl. She’s such a plastic and all that she said in her interview just strengthens my statement (go and read her article in Seventeen!). In Pink, well, cover girl Vanessa Anne Hudgens is okay. Another Prom Special, surprise surprise. I actually liked this issue. I saw a lot of Prom gowns that I like looking at but would not dream of wearing. Hello?! Buti sana kung sexy ako, kaso hindi. Hehe.

Besides, like what I said, I don’t feel like going to the Prom.

Unless of course it would give me an additional grade, then I would be willing to endure the suffering and humiliation.

“Nung nagmahal ako, I believed in everything! Love at first sight, happy endings, destiny, fairytales and even magic. Pero nasaktan lang ako! Tama nga sila, no? No word could ever define love kundi katangahan.”

Teachers's Day

2006-12-09T07:30:00.000-08:00

Wah! Katuwa ang Teachers’ Day!

Sorry guys! I was supposed to post yesterday but I had a piercing headache. I think that we were also supposed to have our practice for the Choir but I slept early. Yeah. So back to the topic.

As I’ve previously written (or did I?), I was one of the emcees for Teacher’s Day together with Kat. At first I was all nervous, thinking that I would screw up royally. Thankfully, nothing bad happened and I ended up not stuttering or fumbling while talking. Hehe. Aside from that, even though I think that our presentation for the Carolfest is a big disaster, I think that we did pretty okay. At least we were not the worst.

Also, our plan to surprise Mrs. Javaluyas was a big success. The surprise wasn’t that much of a surprise like last year but it was still pretty shocking for her. She also had a big laugh over her edited pics, joking that “kulang na lang ay i-post ito sa internet.” Haha. We gave her a lot of gifts. All of them are especially for her. I hope that she will find the book that I gave her some use. And I am excited about what she will tell us after she sees our video. Downright stupid and a total garbage? Or heart-warming and wittily hilarious? Well?

Oh, and did I ever mention that my classmates are planning to draw a manga? The main characters are Mommy Astrid and Karisha. Their names in the manga are Mi and Yu respectively (not sure about the spelling of their manga names though). There is also a group called “F-Fur” composed of Pardu, Sydicu, Fulgenciu and Vince Su. Haha! Michael is Keldi (again, don’t know the exact spelling), a bad guy at the start but becomes good in the end. The main villain is Lonzu, AKA Supreme Evil. He will be the Grand Finale. As for me? I am Sarara, another bad character but will later turn good. My rival is Keldi and we are both fighting who will get to finish Mi and Yu. Ang sabi ko nga ay daanan na lang sa palakihan ng eyebags! My weapon is my glasses, which can transform into this big magnifying glass that can produce fire.

I… The feeling is coming back again! This time it is worse! Oh man! I am so dead. I should hide this! Nobody has noticed a thing yet! I can do this… Bhasya!!!

I hope that our plan on Monday would go as planned. I’m nervous.

"Pag wala na ko, siguro di yun kawalan sayo, di yun makakaapekto sayo. Pero gusto ko lang malaman mo na masaya ako. Bakit? Kasi kahit minsan lang sa buhay ko, nakilala ko yung taong hindi man ako kayang mahalin, napasaya naman ako."

Paghahanda. Bow.

2006-12-06T18:50:00.000-08:00

Wow, astig talaga ang ginawa namin for Teachers Day. I think that Mrs. Javaluyas would appreciate our gift. We prepared a sort of “home video” which showcases our acting talents. Naks! There’s also commercials and special segments. Of course, the main part of this home video is actually the “confession” part where we go and tell things about Mrs. Javaluyas and give our feelings about her. For me, our gift is fun to make and I certainly hope that our teacher would appreciate what we did.

Lee Da Hae is drop-dead gorgeous. And I am saying this even though I am a girl. Shucks! Haha. But really, I like her face. It can be innocent and clueless one minute, seductive and super charming the next. Why is it that Korean people rarely get pimples? Oops, random question. Hehe…

“Bakit ganon? Kahit anong sakit tiniis ko, kahit anong hirap tinago ko, kahit anong kasalanan mo pinatawad ko. Sobra-sobra ang pagmamahal ko sayo. Bakit ganon? Iniwan mo pa rin ako.”

Christmas Carolfest Mayhem

2006-12-05T18:50:00.000-08:00

Kumusta naman yon?!

Haha. I don’t know what to feel today. I guess that I should be in a pretty crappy mood today but I chose not to be a crabby girl and just let everything slide. Pano ba naman kasi, our Carol fest is a big disaster! Wala pa kaming nagagawa! The freshmen, sophomores and seniors are already miles ahead of us! What’s worse, Mrs. Onin is putting me in charge. What the? Pearl and Roselle should be the ones handling this, not me! In some degree, I feel responsible too, even though I know that what is happening is solely not my fault. Still, I don’t want to be bossy and “take charge” because they might think that I’m trying to steal the spotlight. No, that is not my intention, uh-uh. Well… I just hope that we can produce something Carolfest-worthy tomorrow… *crosses her fingers*

Yahoo! Naruto is back! Oh man, that show really rocks! But is it me or did Naruto’s voice mature? Even just a teensy-weensy bitty-witty? Hmm… Oh well. Gotta love that anime!

“How darned clever!” Wooh! That line is my favorite (sarcastic) line when debating with someone. Haha. Not really as in debate. More like a friendly discussion in a certain forum and waiting for the other to make a mistake and point that out so you can have the upper hand? Ick, I sound disagreeable.

I hope we can prepare our gift for Mrs. Javaluyas tomorrow. We are planning to make a video which she can view using a CD. As usual, Mommy Astrid’s place is the place to be. But the exact concept of what we would do while filming is still not being conversed. I guess that we’ll just have to cross the bridge when we get there, hmm?

“Sa buhay, walang sigurado. Lahat pwedeng magbago. Mahirap tuloy magtiwala sa mga tao lalo na sa taong mahal mo dahil baka dumating ang araw na iwan ka niya. Pati ang puso mo, dala pa.”

Special Gift To A Special Mother

2006-12-03T20:00:00.000-08:00

For the greatest mother a kid can ever have...

Divisoria: Shopping Glore

2006-12-02T18:34:00.000-08:00

Tiredness! Yah! We just went to Divisoria to buy some stuff and goodness, I can’t keep my eyes off all those cheap and cute bargain finds. There are a lot of items on sale! Of course, if you don’t mind the crowd of sweaty people pushing and shoving you aside, you’ll enjoy the shopping experience, which was exactly what I did. I am especially satisfied with the shoes that I bought. Praise the heavens and I finally found a shoe that fits me and most importantly, suits my taste. All the other shoes in our house were all for Jovelle’s use (Curse these abnormal feet of mine! ).

Oh, and I don’t know what’s wrong with the blog layout. When I opened my blog, the old layout was still there. How come? Hmm… I just fixed it this time.

Anyone out there who knows about Death Note? It’s the best! I love it to pieces! If you don’t know what this awesome manga is all about, don’t fret! Just visit Deathgod.org and rest assured that you’ll be as crazy as me about it. My favorite character is L. Haha. I think we’ll totally gel, since I have a lot of common characteristics with him. For more about L’s quirks and unusual habits, click here.

Kiray’s story in Maalaala Mo Kaya is heart-warmingly touching. It isn’t the kind of story where you’ll end up with dozens of tissues, bawling and crying your heart out until your eyes have gotten red and swollen. No! It was a realistic tale of how an “ugly” person fought against the odds and entered showbiz to help her family and of course, pursue her dream of becoming an actress. But what hurts the most is that because of her facial features, she is only given comedy roles consisting of being laughed at because of her homely looks. She kept on trying to be positive and it was amazing to see this girl holding on and never letting go of her ambitions. The raw determination Kiray showed earned my respect for her. I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

Goong/Princess Hours is showing in ABS-CBN! Thank God! I’ve been waiting for ages just for this Korean drama show. Though I am a bit disappointed that the Kapamilya network got Goong, as long as I watch it local television, it’s okay.

“There are a lot of people asking what made me fall for you, I just smiled. You know why? Well, why would I tell them? They might just fall for you the way I did. Selfish na kung selfish, akin ka lang.”

Layout Cuteness.

2006-12-01T19:21:00.000-08:00

OMG! A new layout! Haha. Well, another rushed one. I was cramming because I was thinking that I should hurry doing the layout because another brownout might ruin the whole thing again. This is supposed to be a winter-y background but it became kinda a feministic goth because I am in love with Lolita fashion nowadays. Heh. The image wasn’t supposed to be from Princess Ai but because I don’t know what image from Rozen Maiden to use so I just experimented with the image from Princess Ai and TADA! Instant layout!

Wah! It’s amazing how I miss school. Not really the school actually. I miss my friends. When I was still in elementary, I’ll just sarcastically scoff when people tell me that the best years of your life are when you are in highschool. Now that I have experienced it firsthand, I can really testify that what all those people said are true. How time flies so fast! Now, I’ve got to decide what occupation I would take because next year would be my last year in Highschool. I’m not ready to enter the College world yet!

I have found the perfect gift for Ma’am Javaluyas for Teacher’s Day! Wow! I am sure she will love it. What is my gift? Hi-mi-tsu. Hehe. Himitsu means secret. All I can say is that she’ll learn more about housekeeping and that is very handy, especially for a Mother like her.

What happened to a small barangay in Albay is a very sad one. More than a hundred people were covered with lahar. Mount Mayon had finally erupted and it unleashed its fury among the unsuspecting citizens. Why did they not evacuate immediately though? It is easy to feel sorry for them, but it is also easy to blame them for not leaving the place when they were given the chance. And oh, I do not know. I fear that all these disasters would take away even more lives. Isn’t it funny how technology stands only a little chance when faced with Mother Nature?

“Tatlong bagay lang ang mayroon ako, masaya na ko. Una, buhay ko. Ikalawa, pamilya ko. Ikatlo, pera. Uy, tampo na siya. Nakalimutan mo na ba? Ikaw yung una.”

Lolita Attacks!

2006-11-30T21:10:00.000-08:00

Help me! I’m stuck in the Gothic and Sweet Lolita Fashion! Grr… I drool when I see those cute Japanese clothes! If only I have the money! Most importantly, if only I live in Japan! Here in the Philippines, dressing up as a Lolita is strangely unusual and if there are people who do that, it will only happen in cosplay or anime-related events. Such a shame.

Wah!!! Look at her! I want to dress exactly like her! Black and white is in! Fashionable and cute! Glamorous without being over the top! She looks gothic but not scary, just the right amount of coolness.

Pinkness desu! This girl is a good example of Sweet Lolita. As you can see, she’s covered up in pink. A Sweet Lolita’s style is to pull of a childish look with a hint of sophistication. She reminds me of Hello kitty!

A typhoon is coming again. Oh joy. Well, I guess it is better this way because it would help prevent an El Niño from happening in the next summer. What this typhoon is actually useful for is that it made our three-day mini-vacation into four days! Bliss! Ah, I can catch up on my beauty sleep and more importantly, think of my Lolita look for my next cosplay event! (Yes, I am obsessed.)

Speaking of obsession, I am currently hearting L of Death Note. Sigh.

Oh yeah! Today’s such a joyous celebration. It’s my 100th post here in Blogger! Hurrah for me! Hehe!

“Nakakatuwang isipin na mahal kita. Ang sakit tanggapin na mahal mo siya. Ang sarap pakinggan nung sinabi mong, "Nandito lang ako sa tabi mo." Kaso lang kayakap mo siya. Hay buhay! Ang hirap maging tanga! "

Cracking'!!!

2006-11-28T19:12:00.000-08:00

Hail Xiaolin Showdown! Man, that show is great! I have recently watched the new episodes just a while ago and I was laughing like an idiot while eating my Happy Meal. That cartoon show is cracked! Not as cracked as Yakitate yet still full of humor and comical moments.

Speaking of the shows I like, I’m getting myself drawn to the anime BLEACH. Wah! I have known about this title since last year but since I was still stuck in the Naruto Fever (last year was the Year of Naruto for Pinoys), I just shrugged it off. But now, I’m hooked! I watch the show every Saturday in cable even though I don’t have any idea on what they’re saying (it’s not dubbed and I don’t speak Japanese). My favorite characters are Kuchiki Rukia and Hitsugaya Toshirou. The pairing I am shipping right now is Hitsugaya/Hinamori! How cute! (Hai, Aizen-taichou!)

Maaaaan! Math subjects are a torture for me. First Geometry and now, Trigo? What have I done to deserve this?

I just want to share this piece which is found in our Values Book:

Know More About The Guys’ Style…

You know that the guy wants to meet you if he…

- offers you a ride
- calls you religiously (long phone conversations)
- always texts you
- invites you to dinners, concerts, movies, parties, etc
- lends you his cell phone
- gets angry when seeing you with another guy
- picks you up or drops you off at your place
- always treats you out
- tells you he misses you and always compliments you
- ask for your number or place

So? What do you think? Are all those things signs of “Pasimpleng ligaw” already? Hmm… Honestly, I have no idea since 1.) I haven’t experienced any of the things listed and 2.) I am not a guy so I can’t agree or disagree.

Haha. Who cares?

“Minsan naisip ko, pano nga ba tayo naging close? Kailan nga ba yun nagsimula? Hmm. Nang maaalala ko na, bigla akong natigilan. Ngayung wala ka na, mahalaga pa rin ba kung kailan at pano?”

Fun Happy Trip

2006-11-25T21:15:00.000-08:00

Whew! I just went to SM Sucat. Then spent a mind-boggling thousand bucks on items that include Godiva Lip Gloss, Johnson’s Baby Powder and Baby Lotion, as well as other stuff that aren’t really that necessary. I’m not really that conscious about my looks but a girl has to, er- what’s the word?- look decent- I guess. Hmm. It must be Kat’s influence. My shameless spending on all those products is the fault of Henry Sy for building a mall that has EVERYTHING a girl could ever wish for. I can’t help but ogle at all those pretty clothes and appealing books.

But what I loved the most is that I got this super pretty bracelet! I did not buy it, a friend gave it to me. Haha!

I like looking fat. Is that a random out-of-the-blue statement? No, really. Sometimes I’ll get really surprised when I look in the mirror and find out that I’ve become skinnier (not Heidi Klum-skinny mind you!). Actually, I favor wearing oversized T-shirts and then match it up with leggings or skinny jeans nowadays.

Happy Birthday Pearl! Aww, I’m the only one who didn’t attend her party in Taguig. But what can I say? My grandparents did not approve it and I’m certainly not too excited with the idea of coming home late. Who knows what might happen to me after dark? You’ve heard about all those stories of horrible people kidnapping innocent girls and making them hostages. Or even worse, sinful beings who rape and then kill their victims. All of it is all true. I may sound paranoid but it’s better to be cautious than to be sorry at the end.

My gosh, what’s happening to me? Pull yourself together, Sarah! This confusing period would pass by! Up until then… Well… Good luck to me na lang! I hope walang makahalata!

“May mga bagay na ginagawa ng isang tao kasi akala niya tama, akala niya hindi makakasama, akala niya hindi makakaapekto sa taong mahal niya. Pero bakit ganon? Sa huli siya pa rin ang masasaktan?”

Hapi, Hapi Day!!!

2006-11-24T18:46:00.000-08:00

I’m so happy today! Basta! Ewan ko ba at di ko mapaliwanag kung anong nararamdaman ko. Basta hindi na mapipigil ang kasiyahan ko! Haha.

Olrayt, end of the Tagalog post.

Eveybody else, however, is having a bad day. I don’t know why it happens but when I’m in a really good mood, someone else is suffering. But when I’m in the lowest of lows, people are so shiningly bright and cheery. How come? And when you try to cheer that person up, the person just becomes more depressed. It’s quite confusing.

Leuric kept on commenting that I’m blooming. Wah? Honestly, other people keep on telling me that and even my mortal enemy grudgingly admitted that. As if! I’m beautiful?! Get real! I’m used to being called ugly, disgusting, unattractive, repulsive, fat, etc but never ever beautiful! The day I transform from an ugly duckling to a graceful swan would be the day when pigs would fly.

We also discussed about the upcoming Teachers’ Day. We were hoping to give Mrs. Javaluyas something nice but we are undecided on what to give. And on top of all that, we don’t even know where we’ll get the money for our gift. To at least reach a thousand bucks, we have to contribute ten pesos each per day. That’s kinda heavy on the budget. But I guess, I’ll leave it to Pearl and the others to sort these things out.

“Di ko ginusto, nahulog na lang ako sayo. Di ko pinigilan kasi akala ko mahal mo rin ako. Di ko akalain na masasaktan ako ng ganito. Di ko napansin, mukha na pala akong tanga. Pero wala na kong magawa, mahal na kita.”

The Declaration of War

2006-11-22T18:38:00.000-08:00

Hahaha! Vince Cruz and Sydeco have joined forces to team up and take revenge against me. You see, I edited their pictures and finally spread it across the classroom. Aren't I so bad? Oh yes, I'm growing horns. They can't stop me; I can prove to them that I am capable of something more. Something evil. They can try and try to get even with me but I would be always prepared. This is the Peloponnesian War but this time, it has intensified!!! Away away away na 'to!

I still haven't blogged about my ill feelings concerning what happened yesterday. Ah, my classmates might get to see and read my blog so it would not be too personal anymore. I'll just give you guys a kind of vague description. I am just so frustrated that it's like someone is nagpaparinig ng mga bagay-bagay sa akin while we are still in the classroom. I mean, hello? Isn't it embarassing that everyone hears about those things? For goodness’s sake, why can’t that stupid person keep all his/her thoughts and musing to him/herself?

Some of my classmates have a boring life. Why? Because they do nothing but steal the stuff of other people and destroy them. Yes, destroy. They rip pages from a book, doodle on them and hide them on the most unlikely places. Those morons. They don’t even have half the brain to actually stop and think how unbelievably immature they were acting and get guilty. What they don’t know is a greater and higher being is watching them. Those foolish boys would have to watch out because karma would bite them back tenfold.

Oh, I’m so happy that December would mark the start of Goong/Princess Hours and the anticipated return of Naruto! Oh yayness!

“Sana kahit isang araw mamiss mo ako nang sobra. Yung tipong kahit na hanapin mo ako eh hindi mo ako makita. Alam mo kung bakit? Gusto ko lang maramdaman mo kung gaano kahirap pag ikaw ang namimiss ko.”

Haaay! I don’t know why but I’m losing my grip. I don’t know what the heck are we talking about in Geometry and I’m at a loss when Trigonometry is our subject. Damn, I hate it when I’m feeling pathetic.

Tomorrow will be the day when my masterpiece would be viewed by the world. Ahahaha!!! I am so bad. Rawr!

"Pag iniwan ka ng mahal mo, ok lang na iyakan mo siya at magalit ka. Pero tama na yung minsan lang. Kahit masakit, wag kang iiyak ulit dahil hindi ka dapat manghinayang sa tulad niya na sobrang tanga para iwan ka."

Go Pacman!

2006-11-20T15:40:00.000-08:00

Go Manny Pacquiao!

YAY! I knew in my heart that he would win. I mean, not only are his movements super fast , but his punches also deal a great amount of damage. All of his hard wrk finally paid off. Very nice, Pacman, very nice. Trying to make pasikat by winning the whole fight in just 3 rounds. I almost felt sorry for Morales since he looked very pitiful, sitting in one corner of the ring as if asking “Why? Why?!!!” Well, things like that happen anyway. If there’s a victor, there’s also a loser.

Sarah Geronimo is not really my most favorite person in the world and I definitely wouldn’t pick her to sing the Lupang Hinirang, our Philippine National Anthem. But what can I say? She surprised me by actually making the song sound wonderful. Eat your heart out, Mexico! And I could see Chavez jumping in joy when Pacman won. No doubt it was because he won the bet and his moolah would ka-ching some more.

Haha, I’m addicted in singing Christian songs. Baduy for some people but very spiritually lifting for me. Ngik, I’m sounding like some kind of religious girlaloo. Wahohoho.

I want to make a layout featuring my favorite Korean actresses. But I’m in a dilemma. Who should I choose? Jeon Ji Hyun, the most popular and well-recognized Korean actress and one of the sexiest women in Korea? Song Hye Gyo, the photogenic and super pretty girl who was the star of some of the best Korean dramas I have watched? Or Lee Da Hae, the cute, bubbly and talented performer who made me envious of her beauty and unexplainable charisma in My Girl?

“Paano kaya kung may taong sisira ng friendship natin? Ano kaya ang gagawin ko? Iiyak, magagalit, magwawala o matutuwa? Siguro matutuwa kasi mukha siyang tanga! Hindi niya naman yun masisira, diba?”

I Wanna Cosplay!

2006-11-18T18:36:00.000-08:00

Waaagh!!! Bakit? What have I done wrong? Why must I be tortured like this? I want to go to the Hataw! Hero Anime Convention or Toei Anime Convention but I can’t! Is fate or destiny or whatchamkolit really against me on this one? I just don’t get it. I have been planning this for my entire lifetime. I want to meet other cosplayers! I want to join the dubbing contest! Most importantly, I want to go and cosplay!

Ate Alodia, when would I get the chance to cosplay a character as perfectly as you do? Sigh.

Since I have nothing to blog about (my life is really, really boring!), I just decided to go and post another Korean superstar, Jeon Ji Hyun!

Jeon Ji Hyun, born on October 30, 1881 (Yahoo! Another Scorpio! ), is the pretty face that made the movies My Sassy Girl, Windstruck and Il Mare a big hit not only in Korea but also in other countries as well. She is nicknamed “Food Girl” (because she likes to eat a lot of food- just like me!) and “Queen Ji-Hyun” (since she is the Queen of Commercials in Korea). She is not only adorably cute, but she also has a great acting ability to be proud of. Try to watch her crying scenes and you would know what I mean. JJH is really one of my all-time favorite Korean actresses!

Oh, how silly of me to almost forget! Congratulations CJ! She won 1st Runner Up in this big singing competition in Valenzuela.

“Kung tutuusin, magkasama sana tayo ngayon. Sabi nga nila lahat ng bagay pwede pero hindi lahat ng pwede dapat. Ang galing, no? Parang tayong dalawa. Pwede pero hindi dapat.”

The Effect

2006-11-16T21:02:00.000-08:00

sSomeone had ruined all my plans. I’ll never forget this! Ooh, I shall make that “maligno” pay dearly. The next thing he knows, he would become minced meat! Mwahahaha! That would suit him perfectly fine! Mwahahaha!

But let’s not talk about that creep. It just angers me even more.

The Thanksgiving Mass went by okay. At first, we were all nervous and as one of the original member of the first Volunteer Choir™, I was pretty bossy and snappy to some other students on what to do. Ah, the effects of the one being in charge. But it all flowed smoothly. The priest who preached (um, I didn’t mean to make it kinda rhyme) us even told us that we were great and asked the students to clap for us! Ooh! A standing ovation? Harhar. In my dreams, man.

Recognize her? If you are a sucker for Korean dramas like I am, then I am sure that the name Song Hye Kyo is familiar to you. Also spelled as Song Hye Gyo, SHK is one of the premier actresses in South Korea. She has starred in Endless Love: Autumn in My Heart, Hotelier, All In and Full House (which I loved very, very much). And I just found out that she has the same birthday as my Yael, November 22 (her birth date in her birth certificate stated February something because her parents had to wait before registering her because she was a very unhealthy baby at first). She’s so kawaii!!!

Well, gotta go. I should now make Katrina’s layout as promised. Wah, sorry po talaga!

“Ilang beses ko pa bang sasabihin sayo na kahit anong gawin mo, di ka mamahalin niyan? Dahil meron na siyang mahal na iba. Iiyakan mo lang siya at masasaktan ka lang. Bakit ko alam? Syempre. Minahal kita, eh.”

My First Love

2006-11-15T19:25:00.000-08:00

Tired, so tired. Busy, yes, I’ve been very busy. An update? There’s an update.

A lot of things happened. Yah, we got to practice for the Choir since the Thanksgiving Mass is tomorrow even though Inner Sarah is thinking violently, “What the hell?! What should we be thankful for in this school anyway?! Dammit!!!” Haha. Just joking.

But why did this have to happen? Aside from choir, I have a million other things to do and finish. Almost all of our subjects have homeworks/assignment waiting to be passed tomorrow and all the pressure is killing me! Kumusta naman yon?

Trouble is brewing in our class again. Uh-oh. Godliness sure has a lot of drama. Let’s just say that a friend had spilled to me all of his/her feelings and how disappointing it is that nothing good ever comes out of our section. There were a lot of violent reactions and hurtful, negative comments on both sides. People, the problem is all about politics. Whew. Glad I’m not part of that. But still, mas gusto ko kapag walang nagaaway. Peace man.

you are always gonna be my love itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo i'll remember to love you taught me how you are always gonna be the one ima wa mada kanashii love song atarashii uta utaeru made

Isn’t Utada Hikaru’s song First Love cute? Bwahaha… Here’s the english translation of the 1st chorus:

you are always gonna be my love even if i fall in love with someone once again i'll remember to hold on you taught me how you are always gonna be the one it's still a sad song until i can sing a new song

“It feels sad when we want to express our feelings to the person we love but holding back because they have chosen another. Then when they get hurt, we can only whisper, “Tanga ka kasi, eh. Di pa ako ang minahal mo.””

Choir Chore

2006-11-13T20:48:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the late update. You see, I gave my new burned CD a spin and I talked with Ernest on the phone for a very long time and even watched Pokemon! Haha. Yah, those things are more important than my English assignments. *stares at her unfinished homework*

Well, this day is pretty interesting. There would be another mass this coming Thursday and of course, a choir would be needed. Hello?! Syempre, kami nanaman ang volunteer. Godliness kasi diba? But we still need some other members. We’re thinking of bullying some first and second years to join, especially Mr. A-Toy-A-Leaf because he has a good voice. Besides, in his old school, it was required for him to know at least some Christian songs. And also, if we commit a mistake, no one would notice because the pipolz are all staring at his awesomeness. Rawr!

So if there’s a choir, there should also be a practice. So we started picking out the songs we would sing and had a brief discussion on what we would do. Pinasadahan na rin namin yung ibang mga songs and then tapos. Being the Puerto Galera that I am, pumunta pa akong SM para lamang bumili ng Christian song book. Jen and Kat were there because Kat was supposed to buy a Sun sim. Tsk, tsk. Lucky her. After that, we scoured Watsons and had fun picking on the sky-high products being sold. Actually, I wanted to go window-shopping because I am a beggar and drooling over the sight of the latest dresses and blahblah is all I can do. Huhu. Pero wish kong simple, di man lang pinagbigyan.

Yah! My blood boiled at that lady who we saw in National Bookstore. It reached the boiling point na! Kasi, ganito yun, we were talking with each other and when we got kinda makulit and started to laugh, she shot us an icy look and told us in a harsh manner that we should keep our voices down. So ayun. Tumahimik na lang kami. But actually, parang gusto kong makipagdebate at ireply na, “Bakit po? Hindi naman po library ang bookstore ha? Tsaka di naman po kami ganun kaingay. Di naman po kami sumisigaw. Mas behaved pa nga po kami kumpara po sa mga totoong maiingay na talagang nagsisigawan. Tsaka po diba wala namang rule sa SM na bawal magtawanan?” Basta ganun. We just got irritated. If the cashiers who knows the rules and regulations of SM were not scolding us, e siya pa kaya may karapatan?! Mabuti sana kung siya si Henry Sy. Mas mahaba pa nga ang speech ko but because she was older than me, I just let it pass and kept my mouth shut. Baka naman kasi may menopause yun kaya ganun. Heller?!!!

“Alam mo ba, may pagka-pareho kami. Mahal ka niya, ako rin. Ikaw lahat para sa kanya, sa akin din. Kaso hanggang dun na lang yun kasi hindi na kami pareho. Mahal mo siya, ako hindi.”

2006-11-12T15:19:00.000-08:00

Palabok. Hmm, when was the last time I ate this food anyway? Well, I guess that doesn’t matter since I am eating one now! YAY! But because matakaw ako, I asked my grandma who is oh-so-conveniently going to SM to buy me some sushi. Heehee.

Right now I’m printing my report in Chem. Yah, such a hassle I know. Biology was one of my favorite subjects last year. But Chemistry? God forbid! It’s all about all those silly applications and calculations and stuff. How the hell did I manage to pass this subject anyway? And I’m only like, “Hello? Will knowing all of this help us attain world peace? Would it unify all the countries to become one nation? Will it stop global warming?” My dears, if ever you study Chemistry, I am warning you… It shall eat you alive! Run now while you still have the time!!! (Um, yeah. Never mind me. I’m just bitter. )

“Sometimes we don't expect the things that happen to us. We don't ask for them but they come and sometimes they hurt us. Just stay strong. Kaya nga ako nandito, eh. Para sayo, diba?”

Still the 5th

2006-11-11T19:11:00.000-08:00

Congratulations to me! YAY! I’m still in the Top Ten in our classroom and the overall rankings. Hmm… My score’s not too shabby I guess. I did not want to see my card and up until now, I still have no idea what my grades are. All I can say is that I’m confident that my grades in Chemistry and Trigonometry are higher than last grading. Oh yeah. Hurray for me! (And to my other classmates who made it in the Achievers list, congratz!)

Belated birthday Arwyn! Binata ka na! LOL!

We went to Valenzuela to visit my cousins because it was Arwyn’s birthday. It was fun! I also got to see my cutey-pie of a cousin, Jedwyn, walking around and clapping his hands and pointing at things and smiling like there’s no tomorrow. How adorable!

And you know what? I seriously have a problem with Baclaran and shoes. Know why? The first incident that happened involving those terrible two was when I sprained my ankle wearing high heels while with Kat in Baclaran. The second happened just today, while I was descending down the stairs of LRT. I slipped and then fell! And to add salt to the wound, while I was standing up, I fell for the second time! I was so embarrassed especially when the girls at the back were giggling at my clumsiness. So what to do? I just weakly laughed and said, “Things happen.” Wah! Good thing I wasn’t wearing a skirt. Now THAT would be embarrassing.

And I recently got a new ‘do! Yippie! Actually, I wanted to have the “Jolina” hairstyle. I saw Jolina on TV and just kept thinking to myself how fun and sassy her new hairstyle is. But I did not want my tresses to be too short. Long hair I like, short hair I don’t. I’m impatient and want my hair to grow longer as soon as possible. Oh, and the gay stylist told me that I should use Cream Silk for my hair. Yung fenk (pink) daw. Haha!

Ensei-Ken

Lightning-fast attacks, complex footwork, and dynamic
aerial assaults are all hallmarks of the beautiful yet deadly style of
ensei-ken.

Ensei-ken (called mizongquan in its native China) is a
form of wushu derived from the style of the shaolin. According to legend, this
style was created by Yan Qing, a hero from the classical Chinese novel "Outlaws
of the Marsh." Mizongquan is a main school of wushu in northern China, and
features both unarmed and weapon-based forms.
The name mizongquan means lost
track boxing; an apt name considering the unpredictability of the art. Using
unusual combination attacks and direction shifts, a mizongquan practitioner can
attack from all angles and stymie even the most stalwart defense. Speed is the
key, with agile movements and tricky footwork adding to the unpredictability of
the art. Mizongquan is especially deadly when it takes to the air.

This style focuses on internal energy, and strength and
coordination of the legs, torso, and eyes are essential. This style has also
been adapted to various forms of weapon-based combat.

Cool! I want to learn Ensei-Ken! NOW!!!

“Pag nasaktan ka dahil sa kanya, wag kang tumakbo sakin! Ano ko? Finish line? Wag mo kong iyakan! Bakit? Mukha ba akong tissue? Tumawag ka na lang ng pulis! Bakit? Kasi for sure mapapatay ko yun!”

Just Wanna Be Close To You...

Close To You
Whigfield

Nobody pays Much attention

They misuse their time

Maybe it’s better to mention

Moments passing by

A secret to tell

I got something

They don't have

And baby it's you that

Is lifting me high

I just wanna be close to you

'Cos I understand

The strength of your hand

Oh and love that you

Put me through

You're more than a friend

So love me again

Baby you're full of affection

People stop and smile

Maybe they see my intention

To make life worthwhile

A secret to tell

Now there's nothing

Holding back '

Cos baby it's you that

Is making me fly

I just wanna be close to you

'Cos I understand

The strength of your hand

Oh and love that you

Put me through

You're more than a friend

So love me again

I just wanna be close to you '

Cos I understand

The strength of your hand

Oh and love that you

Put me through

You're more than a friend

A secret to tell

Now there's nothing

Holding back

'Cos baby it's you that

Is making me fly

Ah, I remember my First Year days. This was the song the “Cured Dancers” from the Rehab we visited danced to. We were supposed to find a song for our modern dance in PEHM and when I suggested this out of the blue, Ernest and the others are like, “Oh! Okay, okay! That’s a nice song! Sige, yun na lang.” Harhar.

Wah, and sorry if I'm too lazy to post what happened today. Aw, and I have to reasearch for my report in Chemistry. Sometimes life just sucks.

"Sabi nila dapat raw masaya ako. Ano pa daw ba ang kulang? Bakit daw ba malungkot ako? Ewan ko ba. Hindi ba nila maintindihan? Hindi ba nila makita? Wala rin namang kwenta ang mga yun dahil wala ka na."

The Pinoy Syndrome

2006-11-07T19:36:00.000-08:00

I’m still in that “Oh my gosh” complex. Oh my gosh, I’m 15 yrs. old already? Oh my gosh, did time really fly that fast? Oh my gosh, would I be in my last year in High School next year? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! (And nope, I am not calling out to Gosh of Sponge Cola. You guys know I love Yael more than anything in the world! )

Waagh!!! I am so cursing Trigonometry now! I mean, that surprise test was frickin’ hard! Okay, so maybe that’s a little exaggerated but still, I know that my score will be really low since my solutions are all dead wrong. Oh hell yes. That test ticked me off.

Whatever. Who cares?

Dean is my seatmate again! I don’t know if I should be happy or not. Happy since he is a nice person to talk to about nonsense and other stuff and he can be “partner-of-crime” when the situation calls for it or scared because everytime he becomes my seatmate, I end up getting hurt one way or the other. I mean, the guy has sadistic tendencies for crying out loud! During my first year, he would poke me with a ballpen if I won’t let him copy my assignments! Youch! He did a lot of misdeeds during my second year too. In fact, there was no High School year wherein the two of us were paired together… Hmm… How strange.

Nais ko gamitin ang pagkakataong ito para iulat sa inyong mga mambabasa ang aking pagkaaliw sa pagsasaliksik at pagtatala ng mga idiyomang tagalog para sa aming takdang-aralin sa Filipino. Aking naiintindihan kung hindi ninyo lubos na mauunawaan ang aking biglang nabuhay na pagkagiliw sa wikang tagalog. Marami akong mga dahilan. Ang ilan ay walang kabubuluhan, ang iba naman ay talagang masalimuot lamang. Ang akin lang, paminsan-minsan naman ay huwag nating kaligtaan ang paggamit ng wikang sariling atin. NGI! Biglang naging si Balagtas?

I’m still waiting for that “Belated Happy Birthday!” greeting but I still haven’t received anything from my supposed-to-be-friend.

“Magmahal? Oo, nagawa ko na. Magpakatanga? Oo, nasubukan ko na. Umiyak? Oo, ilang beses na. Sumuko? Hindi pa. Bakit ako susuko? Mukha ba akong wanted? Duh.”

Treat Them Nice, Treat Them Out!

2006-11-06T18:36:00.000-08:00

Yeah c’mon! I’m so happy today! Hyper mode! Chaaaaaa! I feel so damn good after treating my friends out since I was able to share my blessings to them. I was crippled for a month just to save enough money to go to Jabee and treat them out!

And I also went to National Book Store and Mercury Drug Store with Kat. As usual, I bought the WITCH magazine, a monthly purchase since I am collecting the issues. And then I bought a facial wash and lotion. Honestly, I don’t use facial washes! But I guess when I turned 15, I suddenly started to think that “Hey, I should act more mature now. I should be sophisticated.” And oh my goshie gosh! I spent 15 minutes discussing with Kat what good facial cleanser I should try out for starters. I actually thought of buying that… that… Dove! The Olay Facial Foam! As well as St. Ives! Nevah! My money wouldn’t allow it! So I just bought something that is cheap but effective.

To think that I was also playing with the thought of buying a dress from Bayo. I would be then paying more for a whistle. (Ha! Nagagamit rin pala ang napagaralan sa Literature!)

It was so hard to keep up a happy façade when in truth, I feel a little upset because the person I was looking forward to greet me a happy birthday didn’t even know that it was my birthday yesterday. Tsk, tsk. Here I am, thinking na true friend siya…

Ah~! But I still should be glad! I’m still in the Top 5! I really thought that I would sink to the bottom part of the Top Ten but what can I say? Miracles do happen! Maybe once in a blue moon? Haha! But I could sense that Leuric’s very frustrated with the results. He’ll be more competitive during this grading for sure. I better keep my guard up if I want to maintain my position.

“Even if someone else already owns your heart, I don’t give a damn. Though the pain is killing me, I won’t care at all. I won’t steal you from her but rather, I’ll tell her, “Mahalin mo siya para sakin, ha?””

Happy Bday Me!

2006-11-05T19:20:00.000-08:00

After years of suffering, SARAH has finally decided to overthrow the wretched demon Satan and rule Hell once and for all when her 15th birthday came…

Or so what the legend tells anyway!

Hey, it’s my birthday! My, my, my! I can’t believe that I am already 15 years old. Di ko matanggap na gurang na ako! Wakekekeke!!! Pero in fairness, I can’t help but feel a little anxious because I am now expected to be more responsible because I’m a whole lot older. 3 more years until I turn 18… And then two more before I reach the grand old age of 20… Sigh! Now I’m really starting to feel old! But that’s life I guess. And I should be really thankful for all the blessings God gave me during my 15 years of existence. I’m blessed with a loving and supportive family, as well as friends who are as real as real can be. Saan ka pa? Haha!

My Dad gave me some moolah to spend for tomorrow because I’ll treat my classmates out. Thanks! And my Mom gave me this super adorable wallet. Louis Vuiton design anyone? And to top it all off, I was given the perfume Euphoria by Calvin Klein from my cousins. Whoa!!!

And I have a new layout. It’s pretty rushed, and was only designed because it is my birthday today. I’m getting sick with the pink and green background kasi. Oh well.

“Ang daling magbitiw ng isang desisyon. Simple lang ang mga salitang, "Ayaw ko na!" Pero ang mahirap ay hindi yung sakit na kapalit kundi yung paninindigan na ayaw mo na siyang mahalin.”

Anime Fan to the Max!

2006-11-04T00:56:00.000-08:00

Someone said I’m blooming yesterday. I nearly gagged at the thought. Me? Blooming? No way! Baka iba ang nakita niya at napagkamalang ako…

I wanna go to my Mommy Astrid’s house pronto! But I can’t, because it’s embarrassing since her cousins would be there. Actually, I want to finish Tantei Gakuen Q and then watch other animes because I am a total anime-addict. I participate in all anime discussions in our class. With Mommy Astrid, Ernest and a few others, we are the unofficial Anime Lovers Club, if there is such a thing. Anime Marathon! That’s what I want now! I want to watch Chrono Crusade now! I want to finish it now! My gosh!!!

Speaking of Chrono Crusade, my new favorite anime character of the moment is Rosette Christopher. Sure, she’s brash and sometimes stubborn but she’s a very brave girl. She’s silly and often produces a lot of accidental mishaps (such as crashing her car into various objects and buildings as well as the destruction of most buildings). But she’s tough and resolute, her ultimate goal being to reunite with her brother Joshua and to finally kill the demon that took him in the first place, Aion. My, I’m rambling again! Anyway, here’s a pic of her:

Cute noh? I actually wanted to post a pic of her as The Saint. That’s the state wherein she was controlled by Aion and when she was ghostly pale and wearing the dark robe.

Man! I’m really anime-obsessed! I am feeling the urge to go and cosplay! For those of you who do not know what cosplay is, it is short for costume play and it is when a person dresses up like a character from an anime or series and parade around and stuff. You can see a lot of cosplayers in an Anime Cosplay Convention! My idol is Ate Alodia Gosiengfiao. She’s so famous in the Philippine cosplay world, almost every hardcore Pinoy anime fan know her. Look! She'e even got her own WIkipedia entry! And she’s from ADMU, people. ADMU!!!

“Kung pwede lang kitang hagupitin ng yakap, suntukin ng halik, tadyakan ng paglalambing, murahin ng “I love you”, gagawin ko. Kaso love kita, eh. Ayokong mamatay ka sa pagmamahal ko.”

Friendster? Enemyster na Lang!

2006-11-02T19:08:00.000-08:00

Bakit Walang Frienster Account si Sarah?

a.) Tinatamad siyang gumawa ng friendster account
b.) Masyadong mabagal ang kanyang comp para ma-open ang friendster website
c.) Loner siya at walang mga kaibigan
d.) All of the above.

If you chose a, b or c… Then congratulations, you are correct! But if you chose letter d, then you are very, very correct! Haha! Wala lang. I just want to put it here because a lot of people keep on asking me why I have no Friendster account. I just sheepishly reply that instead of Friendster, I participate in Enemyster, because I have a knack for making a lot of enemies. A lot of people hate me like whoa. Haha. So don’t be surprised that I have no friendster account. I’m just anti-social. >:D

I’m eating a Happy Meal from McDo right now. Yes, I still enjoy Happy Meals as well as Kiddie Meals. I’m such a kid at heart. But I only have the Burger and the Fries (who cares if I’ll get fat?!!!) so I’m really craving for some gravy! Yeah! Not chicken but the gravy itself. I know, weird right? But I love slurping up the gravy, even if it would make me look like a beggar kid. Kumusta naman yun?

My Tito Nestor just arrived today. Hurrah! Oh, and what’s this? He also gave us a lot of chocolates! Yummy! Haha!

Mou, the idea of college life is getting me preoccupied right now. I’m a third year highschool student already so by next summer, I should busy myself studying for the board exams to get into a decent university but I don’t even have the slightest faint idea of what I want to be. Yes, a case of life confusion is at hand. Drama is really involved now! My dream school is of course Ateneo De Manila University. But me? Passing ADMU? How laughabale! I don’t have the talent and the money to even enter its gates. Sige, Sarah… Mangarap ka lang ng gising. And University of the Philippines is too far away from my mind right now. Lord only knows what an imbecile I am and that to try and take the examination for UP would only make me shame my school’s name. Huhu. Talagang I’m so frustrated with myself. I’m really jealous of my classmates who are already decided with their life. While here I am, tearing my hair out, not even having any clue on what course I should take.

“Kung kakain ka, dapat marami para mabusog ka. Kung mangangarap ka, dapat marami para may choice ka. Pero kung magmamahal ka, dapat isa lang. Para walang nasasaktan.”

All Saints Day

2006-11-01T23:01:00.000-08:00

Olrayt! My first post in the month of November! Could you believe what a milestone this is for me, you guys? I've been blogging for six months already! Haha! I never knew I could last this far. And I'm nearing my 100th post. And also my birthday! Shucks, time flies so fast. So fast that you barely have the time to say, "Wait ka lang!" I can't believe I'm turning the big one-five already. How mind-boggling!

I’m trying to change my blog’s layout. Wala lang. Trip ko lang. But I keep on having problems. I’m getting irritated na… Jokerz!

And Happy All Saints Day, minna-san! Boohoo! I'm just gonna stray a bit and talk randomly about ghosts. Okay, so maybe it's not so random because All Saints Day is supposed to be about ghosties and all those spooky things right? Anyway, I've watched something in a TV show that says ghosts tend to manifest themselves more when it's nearing Undas since the living (that's us) tend to think more of them and in the process, we get more "reactive." The same thing goes when it's nearing a death anniversary of someone and there's a higher chance that you'll get to see that dead person because you're more aware of the paranormal compared to the other days wherein you think more about other everyday things around you. Haha. But don't take me seriously! I don’t even know what the hell I’m talking about.

And I’ve watched The Justirisers in Cartoon Network just a while ago. Haha, in fairness ngayon ko lang napanood yun. When I did though, I became shocked at the male lead playing Shota Date because he looks so much like Lee Dong Wook AKA Julian of My Girl! Para silang pinagbiyak na arenola! Wakekekekeke…!!! (Churi, pero wala akong makitang pic nung guy eh. Pero he played Ichigo Kurasaki in the Rock Musical Special ng Bleach. He just doesn't look very Julian-ish there)

“Sabi nila mahal mo daw ako kaya hinanap kita. Yun pala may hinahanap ka ding iba. Nagalit ka pa! Hay, minsan na nga lang magmahal, pumalpak pa. Sorry, ha? Mahal lang kasi kita.”

Bakit Pa Kailangan Ang Rosas?

2006-10-30T19:34:00.000-08:00

GITARA
Parokya ni Edgar

Bakit pa kailangang magbihis
Sayang din naman ang porma
Lagi lang namang may sisingit
Sa twing tayo’y magkasama

Bakit pa kelangan ang rosas
Kung marami namang nag-aalay sayo
Uupo na lang at aawit
Maghihintay ng pagkakataon
Hahayaan na lang silang

Magkandarapa na manligaw sayo
Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara

Mapapagod lang sa kakatingin
Kong marami namang nakaharang
Aawit na lang at magpaparinig
Ng lahat ng aking nadarama
Pagbibigyan na lang silang

Magkandarapa na manligaw sayo
Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara
Pagbibigyan na lang silang
Magkandarapa na manligaw sayo
Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Ooohhh…
Idadaan na lang…
Sa gitara

Because I just can’t get the song out of my head. XD

Haha. But have you seen the music vid of Gitara? Sooo cute! It was influenced by Meteor Garden and the Korean craze. Chito was wearing a Team Korea T-shirt. I was laughing like a maniac when the guy fought off the thugs and he accidentally hit the blind chinita girl… Her face was priceless!

“Sabi mo gusto mo ko. Sabi mo konting panahon na lang magkakasama na tayo. Sabi mo iiwan mo na siya. Sabi mo hintayin kita. Sabi mo mas mahal mo ako. Eh, ngayon asan ka na? Bakit kapiling ka pa rin niya?”

Takutin sa Sindak si Sarah

2006-10-29T21:40:00.000-08:00

My labs, Ysmael Yrastorza Yuzon! Someday I shall marry him! We would have twins, a boy named Yael Jr. and a girl I shall call Ella. We would be living the sweet life in a luxurious high-class penthouse. Mwahahaha! (Okay, all this fantasizing stuff is getting kinda scary... I'm getting carried away...)

I just watched Ang Pinaka and it listed the Top Ten Scariest Pinoy Movies. In fairness ha, I was rooting for Sigaw because I loved the movie so much but the No. 1 spot eventually went to Takutin Mo sa Sindak si Barbara. Or something like that anyway. Feng Shui was a close second. Haha. I've never actually watched Feng Shui but the part where they showed Lotlot dying was scary but riduculous at the same time. I guess you can call it ridiculously scary. Her death was frightening but the way she died was not. I mean, she died by falling from a window and into several bottles of Red Horse! How lame is that? Haha. But it still is scary. And then there's the original Shake, Rattle and Roll. Walang sense ang Refrigerator part of the story. The story goes like this: Chop-chop ang drama ng isang guy and his body parts were put inside a refrigerator. Now his ref was sold and blahblah and the guy wanted to have some vengeance. Then there's this scene where a girl is cooling off in front of the ref (remember, wala pang aircon non!) and the ref eats her up! Wah! Was it scary or was it... funny? You decide.

Ah... My birthday is so near, I can feel it in the air. OMG! Randomness! Harhar.

"Lagi akong nandiyan. Kahit anong mangyari, hindi kita iiwan. Kahit anong sakit, hindi kita tatalikuran. Teka. Pwera na lang kung di na ko humihinga! Pero di pa rin, eh. Babantayan pa rin kita. Yun nga lang hindi mo na makikita."

Class G!

2006-10-27T22:02:00.000-07:00

Oohlala! The Intramurals is over! Should I be happy? Haha. Come Monday, we'll be back to regular classes. Such a shame.

I'm not proud of what I did in the Cheering. Panira ako! Di ko alam kung saan ako pupunta, anong gagawin ko at iba pang drama! Shucks! I'm such a fool! Talagang di ko alam! Tapos sinabotage pa kami ni Julius! Yung nakakainis na pinsan ni Mommy Astrid! Bwah! We told him to PAUSE the music but instead, he STOPPED it. What a weirdo. Up until now, we're thinking of ways on how to do him bodily harm.

Ma'am Javaluyas' feisty son, JM, is such an angel. Not! He's a naughty, naughty, naughty kid who keeps on punching the hell out of Ernest, Cruz, Paz, Laison, Soguilon, Luzon and on some occassions, my Mommy Astrid na rin. He's got restless energy but Francis (who is like a little kid himself) was the only one who managed to tire JM out. They were playing a Habulan-type of game and JM was supposed to catch Francis. Too bad for him since Francis moves as fast as the wind. When JM began to get tired, I stood up and told him,"JM! Pagod ka na ba? Halika na, hinahanap ka na ng Mommy mo!" He agreed and I was inwardly cackling madly because I managed to be the only one to bring him back to his mother. Mwahaha!

What I liked the best was when I went to Mommy Astrid's house. At that time, I didn't want to go to SM because, yeah, going to the mall is getting old and boring. Yawn. So I watched Tantei Gakuen Q and pretty soon, even Ernest and Dharica joined in. We were having a blast solving the mysteries and we keep on guessing correctly on who the murderer is. Hell yeah. We especially loved "The Island" part of the series. Nakakasuspense and excite and Dharica kept on screaming! Haha! We're gonna go to Mommy Astrid's house again on Monday but I'm really hoping that something would happen so a certain person won't come...

"Kaya kitang mahalin sa paraang gusto mo. Kaya kitang patawarin kahit na mawala ang pride ko. Kaya rin kitang tanggapin ulit kahit minsan mo na akong niloko. Pero sana tandaan mong kinakaya ko lang ang lahat ng iyon dahil sa pagmamahal ko sayo."

Intrams 2006

2006-10-26T18:25:00.000-07:00

Hiya! You know what my lil sis is watching right now? Barney! Waaah!!! I so hate Barney! I've been traumatized by that oversized, purple dinosaur ever since I was a little tyke. And that Barney song keeps on drilling my head! Gah!

But enough about that. I'm not here to talk about my hatred for Barney. It's our Intramurals, darling! Uh-huh! But somehow, I don't feel the excitement anymore. It's like POOF! and then it's just an ordinary day when it comes down to it. Hmm... Well, we started it with a parade up to Greenheights. Seeing as my foot is still not fully healed (naisprain ko to nung pumunta akong Baclaran remember?), it became quiet hard for me to walk especially in the rocky areas. Pero matibay to no! Hahaha! And then when we went back to the school, the boring ceremony continued on blahblahblah. After that, the Mr. Physique and Ms. Intrams Competition started and I opted to stay in the sidelines because I didn't want to mix with the crowd at the time.

Ah, and what a good decision indeed.

I began to hang out with Mommy Astrid, Karisha and the weirdo-cool boys consisting of Acosta, Sydeco, Fulgencio, Laison, Soguilon and Paz. Haha. They were all I needed to cheer up because they were very funny and makwela! Laughter therapy! Kumusta naman yun? Maybe it's because they are boys and boys tend to be easygoing and ridiculously funny. I'm mostly with girls and to tell you the truth, hearing them say sensitive dramatic things that involve mostly their love lives is getting tiring. Laughing over some silly matter is kind of fresh for me. Thanks for the good time, boys. Mwahahaha...!

Oh, I didn't watch the match of the Volleyball Boys. Guiltyness. Huhu. The girls lost earlier this morning but I guess that's already a given since most of the players of Dignity were part of the Varsity team. I wonder what happened...

Everytime I think of all the people who keep on asking "OK ka na ba?", I can't help but laugh out loud and slap my knees. I mean, seriously?! They're treating me like I'm gonna die from an infectious uncurable disease that would instantly take my life. Haha. But I appreaciate their concern. I never dreamed of my goofy classmates actually looking out for my welfare.

And whatthehell?! Why does connecting to Blogger take me almost 20 minutes?! Kabagalan ng internet namin… How st000pid…

"Miss na kita kaso siya naman yung miss mo. Mahal kita kaso siya rin yung mahal mo. Siya na lang lagi! Kahit nasasaktan ka na niya, ok lang kasi mahal mo siya. Ang tanga mo, no? Parang ako! Tanga sa yo!"

Tan tanantanan!

2006-10-25T18:45:00.000-07:00

Tan tanantanan! Tan tanantanan! Chereren! Chereren! Boom! Boom! BOOM!!!

I'm finally back! Bwahahaha- -coughs violently- Er. Yeah. I didn't come to school today because I was still feeling feverish. Why this morning, just standing up to go to the bathroom makes me dizzy! Aww, I just hate it when I get sick. I get breakouts! Gah! But that's okay, since I think it would be loads better if I take a day off now than to be absent for the Intrams tomorrow. Harhar.

Baka selfish ako and shallow for thinking this but I kept on asking myself if anyone missed me this day. You know, as in naaalala ako and feeling concerned if I'm fine and dandy. That kind of feeling. Well, I guess I'm getting very ambitious because, face it, no one would be stupid enough to actually miss my presence.

Guess what I'm eating..? Heh! Siret na kayo? Sampalok! Mwahahaha! Lately, I've been addicted to foods with a sour-like taste. Actually, Ate Inday jokes that I have the apetite of a pregnant woman. Washuuu!!!

And I'm inspired to make a story yet again. Hmm. Not the best but here's an excerpt from the first chappie of Colors of Love, a NejiTen fic.

"So will you teach me?" Naruto asked, turning Tenten’s attention back to him.

"Uh… sure?" Tenten replied uncertainly. Truthfully, she doesn’t mind teaching the blonde anyway. But just to be sure, she decided to check up on Neji’s opinion. "Neji?" she inquired, tilting her head.

"Fine," The Branch House Member grumbled. "Do what you want."

"Yeah! You guys are the best!" Naruto cried out happily, pumping his fist. "I’ll be the best student ever, Tenten-chan! And that’s a promise I’m willing to keep!"

Neji then glared at Naruto darkly, though the latter seems oblivious about it. Tenten-chan? He hadn’t even dared called her that! Who was he to give her such a nickname anyway?

Well, the Hyuuga genius thought, at least it was a tad bit better than "the energetically blossoming flower of our youthful team," Gai’s preferred nickname of Tenten.

So? Yeah, I know. It still needs some polishing. Still! I'll try to do my best just to make it better! Haha! Everyone knows how I love writing fanfics and how I just love using the cute pairing of NejiTen as my victims, er, subjets.

"Sa bawat umaalis, may dumarating. Sa bawat pagkukulang, may nagpupuno. Pero pano kung nahulog ka na sa dumating at biglang bumalik ang umalis? Sino ang pipiliin mo? Yung nagkulang o yung nagpuno?"

I Feel Hot (Pag Nahuli Ka Ng Sipon)

2006-10-24T04:06:00.000-07:00

Grr.... I haven't updated for ages! I'll keep this one short and simple because the Internet screwed up yet again while I was connecting to the Internet. Wattawacko.

Well, I have been affected by the infamous common cold. Why is there no cure for it anyway? Ho-hum. Anywayz, tissues have been piling up beside me because sticky fluids keep on popping out, wanting to come out of my body. It's a good thing that there are no classes today. Hurrah for Ramadan! Haha.

Well, that's all folks. Nanghihina pa ako eh. I'm actually kinda afraid that I'll still have a cold during our Intrams. A story of irony? Kumusta naman yun?

"Akala mo mahal kita? Hindi, ha! Akala mo I care for you? Hindi, ha! Akala mo miss kita? Hindi rin kaya! Why? Kasi puro ka na lang akala. Bakit ba ayaw mong maniwala?"

Field Trip Update

2006-10-20T22:04:00.000-07:00

Our Field Trip is finally over! Whoohoo! Well, it was boring and kinda fun. I don't know. The day before our Field Trip, I regarded it as just another ordinary day. Hmm...

I don't want to go into much details about what happened. Maybe I'll just do a recap.

Lemisi, first we went to the De La Salle Museum which I've already been to during our First Year. There were lots of neat antique and vintage stuff out there. I wanted to hold and touch them but sadly, one of the rules is no touching and handling the museum objects. Aww. We then went to tour the whole place and there's this creepy picture of a lady whose eyes seems to be following you wherever you go.

Then we went to Aguinaldo Shrine which was practically brutally massacred by Bagyong Milenyo. Um, did I just write that? Haha. Sorry. Actually, that was a hyperbole. What I meant to say was the Aguinaldo Shrine is still going through renovations. We didn't tour inside the house, we just circled around it. Yeah.

And finally, the most exciting stop for all, the Island Cove! Yee-haw! Everyone enjoyed themselves in Island Cove I guess. The only ones who didn't go swimming were Karisha, Vince and me. Oh joy. It was there that I finally perkened up, mainly because I got to take pictures of my friends for, ehem, future use. I spent the whole time, walking around in circles, trying to find willing victims, er, subjects for my pictures. And yes, the picture above was photographed by me since Vince the meanie wouldn't take a pic of me. Boohoo. Also, why the heck does a freaking ice cream cost 40 bucks there? The prize suddenly doubled! Grr...! But I loved the Videoke portion. Cousart has such a good voice! And the second years kept on looking at us. Badoom.

Then we went on the Farm Tour where there's a lot of... plants and animals. I loved the little crocodile! I even got to touch the little guy! And my classmates... They are so weird! Pag-tripan ba naman ang mga unggoy because they "were doing it." I won't go into details! Gosh! And while we were going back home, we stopped for some pasalubong. I didn't buy anything because I'm poor. Oh woe is me!

I feel bad for Ernest though. I called him up as soon as I got home because I was very worried about him. I mean, you gotta pity the poor guy right? It's the day where students should be enjoying themselves while he's there at home, suffering from a bad case of the flu... I hope he recovers soon though. Such a shame he didn't come with us. Even Kat and Cheche were sad that he didn't join.

Actually, I was put in a bad mood because of this incident. Ironically enough, only three people whom I am not very close to helped cheer me up. Sino ang mya yun? Wahahaha! Sikretong malupit!

"Sabi mo mahal mo ko, naniwala naman ako. Sabi mo di mo ko iiwan, ang sabi ko, "Sige, aasahan ko yan, ha!" Pero bakit paglipas ng panahon, nakita kita at narinig pa na ang mga sinabi mo sakin, sinasabi mo rin sa iba?"

Malas Ko

2006-10-19T19:44:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LETICIA!!!

I have been experiencing unlucky days recently. I’m kinda upset. And you know what? Tomorrow is our field trip and pilay ako. Nice. Pasaway kasi akong bata. I wore the high heels shoes when I knew very well that one wrong move and CRACK! It’s broken. Haha. Ohmygosh, I’ll be limping tomorrow! A true source of comedy! My classmates would guffaw upon the sight of me!

And thank you very muchie Mommy! I love the magazines, I've been itching to read some more so I really appreciated them! And also the cute pillows! Super soft and super snuggly! I'll use them on the field trip. And I'm glad that you sent me some comfy slippers. I was worried that I'll only have two pairs of shoes since of my you-know-what problem (and no, I do not have stinky feet, you sick overactive imaginatists!). Also, I was in extreme need for chocolate (I'm depressed remember?) so the chocolates you sent me were very much appreciated. I also love the 1001 Dreams book that tells about the many meaning of dreams. Haha!

Speaking of dream, I just had a very weird one lately. I'm not gonna give the details, just the one that is still clear and fresh and un-wipeable from my mind:

I walked out of the house and spotted Joseph* and Mary* talking to each other. I smiled and called out to them but they were so into their conversation that they apparently didn't notice me. Unaffected, I sat at the bench opposite of them and started listening. They were talking to each other and laughing. I tried to join in but was only met by blank looks. Sighing, I saw Mingming (our pet cat) and signaled for her to come to me but Mary beat me to it. Mingming jumped to her lap and purred. Joseph started teasing Mary and I felt... ignored? I don't know. Finally, I headed back to my house and warned the others about the bomb we should be worrying about. (Don't ask me why a bomb suddenly popped in. My dream is as retarded as I am!)

I don't know how to decipher it. It's...complicated. But the dream only reflects the subconscious mind and what a person is thinking in his/her inner self right? I mean, then... Maybe... Our friendship is in jeopardy? Or maybe I'm just thinking too much! Gah!! I'm too disillusioned to think right now!

“Masarap titigan ang taong mahal mo at isiping magkasama kayo. Masayang managinip, masayang mangarap. Pero mahirap umasa kung habang tinititigan mo siya, nakatingin rin siya sa iba.”

*Not their real names

Go Godli!!!

2006-10-16T20:29:00.000-07:00

Cheche!!! How could you feed my sister with such unbelievable lies?! She has become corrupted! Agh! Why the heck did you say that Luzon is my boyfriend and Jaca was my ex??? Where did you get that idea? It's just so... Ang layo! Imposible! Gah!

Phew! Now that this whole thing is finally out of my system, I am just gonna start the real update on my bloggie.

I am pleased to announce that the Godliness Volleyball Team of the Boys and Girls have moved on to the Semi-Finals! Congratulations! I've always known that they can do it! Ahem, ahem!!! And I am just so proud of them.

Si Leuric, may injury na nga, ang lakas pa pumalo! Ernest... Hinay-hinay lang! Lagi ka nang naiirita ah! Quijano, sumasayaw sa court! Jaca, nasa duty pag volleyball?! Malic... Varsity namin and the pride of Godliness! Ramos, katawa at kakalog-kalog sa court! Francis, mascot na may pamayapay kasi di naglaro?! Trizia... Diving Queen naming di na nag-dive nung laban! Celina... Distracted ka ba? Hehe... Abby, astig talaga! Small but terrible! Che, pa-posing effect pa kahit nagseserve! Pearl, ibang klase pumalo ang aming Top 1! Em, talagang malaki ang inimprove! Ali, ba't pumunta ka pa eh di ka naman maglalaro???

Haha! Wala lang. Oh, and get well soon agad Katrina! Aylabsyu!

"Alam kong hindi mo ko mahal. Kahit kailan hindi mo matututunan. Ok lang yun. Di naman talaga ako para sayo. Darating din yung para sakin. Pero sana lang habang wala pa siya, hayaan mo munang mahalin kita."

P.S: I'm eating a slice of pizza, a cheeseburger, some fries and Pistachio Ice Cream right now. Aren't I such a food junkie? :P

Oh My Gosh Complex

2006-10-15T17:25:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh... Was that really.....?

I cannot believe that out of all the people I could've seen, he was the one I saw (and bumped into!) at church. And did he just smile at me?

Am.

Officially.

Freaked.

Out.

I am not love-struck, OK? And I definitely do not have a crush on him, even though he's the newest heartthrob in our whole school. I am merely curious. I mean, what the heck is doing out here? What, is he a resident of our village and- Gasp! How could I have only seen him now?!

"Pag ikaw nawala sakin, tatawa ako ng malakas na malakas! Bwahaha! Nyahaha! Wahahaha! Pero alam mo kung nasaan ako? Nasa mental. Nabaliw dahil sa pagkawala mo."

Trip....Trip Lang

2006-10-14T21:16:00.000-07:00

I wasn't planning on posting something today but certain, er, events led me to chronicling what happened to me today. Yeah, um...

Well, I was innocently chilling out in my home sweet home when I heard a voice melodiously (?) calling my name. Curious and kinda surprised, I peered on the window and got shocked when I saw Romelie waving at me. I let her in and we started to chat. It turns out that she was bored and wanted some company since she's left all alone. She then suggested that we come to Mommy Astrid's house so I agreed and went with her.

When we went to Mommy Astrid's house, we were giggling and teasing her because she was wearing only an oversized T-shirt. Ha! But in fairness, it suits her quite well. She said that she was going to take her afternoon siesta before we came. This made me feel guity! But she assured us that it was all fine and dandy and we instantly crowded into her air-conditioned room to watch a movie. Romelie liked Romance movies and the R-rated ones (no clue why, so don't ask me!) while Mommy Astrid and I wanted Horror. We decided to watch Reincarnation first but it was too boring so we changed it to Shaun of the Dead. The latter is a parody of sorts, poking fun of all the zombie movies out there. I was laughing all the way especially when the main protagonists were throwing old records at the zombies instead of running away or beating up the zombies. Silly dudes. When we were just about to leave, we were treated by Mommy Astrid to have some tasty pizza! Medyo nahiya pa ako kasi kami na nga ang nangistorbo, kami pa ang pinakain. Nevertheless, I helped myself to two slices and by the time I finished, I was as full as bear who had just eaten... er, a Happy Meal from McDo. Yeah.

And one more thing.... Romelie is just too obsessed with Jhomar! Seriously! I mean, before going to Astrid's house, we ran into him and... Hehe! I won't give out the details! Wahahahahaha!!!

"Mabilis daw magpalit ng minamahal. Sabi nila, parang isang segundo lang pwede mo na siyang makalimutan at iwan. Eh, pano kung kailan wala na siya saka mo narealize na mahalaga siyang talaga? Maibabalik mo ba siya ng isang segundo lang?"

Anti-Prom

2006-10-13T19:40:00.000-07:00

Jen from Dawson's Creek: "Is there a more ridiculous and embarrassing ritual then the prom? The way it totally reinforces traditional gender roles, rewards the cool kids, punishes the geeks, and I mean… the pressure that this one single night exerts on the common teenage, forcing us to make hollow, awkward, romantic gestures..."

I guess my post will be about the JS Prom since it is Friday the 13th anyway (anong konek?). I do not know why but almost everyone I keep on bumping into is already getting hyped up about the Prom when it is still 4 months away! Come on! I know it is supposed to be the most romantic night of your highschool life and that it should be kilig-to-the max cheeseness and whatever drama, but why is everyone making a big deal about it? Sigh. Maybe I'm the only one who is actually against it. Yes, folks. You heard that right:

I do not want to go to the Prom.

Crazy? Maybe I am crazy. Maybe it's the effect of watching the episode Anti-Prom from Dawson's Creek. Truthfully, I can list a bazillion reasons why I do not want to go and why I should not go but I guess this will suffice:

1.) There's food but no buffet. Pity.
2.) Lots of twirly dances that would made me dizzy.
3.) I hate dancing.
4.) Besides, I don't know how to dance.
5.) No one would EVER want to dance with me.
6.) Anyone who attempts to ask me would most likely suffer numerous internal and external injuries that is too violent to be mentioned further.
7.) I have no partner.
8.) I don't want to have a partner.
9.) I'm not good with people.
10.) Socializing? A big no-no for me.
11.) I'll have to find a dress. Yawn. Waste of time.
12.) I'm about as fat as a cow so I can't find a dress that would fit me anyway.
13.) I'd rather sleep than go to the Prom.
14.) I don't want to miss my favorite TV shows.
15.) Throw me in any kind of party and BOOM! Instant disaster.

So you see? There are a lot of reasons! In fact, they are so many that my brain is already exploding just by thinking of them. Anyway, the bottom line is that there is an 80% chance that I might not go to the Prom. The other 20% would be if and only if (biconditional statement, anyone?) an additional grade would be given to those who would attend. Grr... If I join, I'll wear black and eat food na lang by the table. Mwahahahaha!!!

..... I'm dead serious about this......

Pizza! Pizza! Oh yayness. I am eating pizza! Now aren't you salivating right now wishing you were me? Jokeness.

We just checked our Periodical Tests today. My scores are okay, not too shabby actually. But I am still kinda diasappointed. Why? I have no idea. All I know is that I am thankful that I at least passed. And also!!! (Hehe. I've always wanted to do that...) my grades in Math are improving. I was right all along. I might get a higher grade this grading. Coolness.

Katrina is going to compete for the right to be the 3rd year Representative for the Chess Tournament for the upcoming Intrams. Fight girl! Show your fighting spirit!

You know, I sometimes wonder if I am just too nice, too good, too giving and too forgivivng. Take for example what happened today. I was ready to tear my hair out searching for my damn Chemistry notebook because I couldn't fnd it anywhere. I thought it was with Leuric since he always borrows my notebooks so that he can copy things. Then he said that nope, he does't have it. Agh! After that, I called him on the telephone and he mentioned that he has it with him at home. Thank God! Then in school, I was asking for my notebook back because I have to copy an assignment lecture. Then he says that it is not really with him and that he doesn't have my notebook. WTF? Make up your mind! Yes or no ba Kuya?! Just when I was ready to go and buy another notebook and rewrite all our past lectures, he comes up and gives it to me at the last minute! Tama ba yon? It was good thing that I was too overcame with joy and relief to get angry with him.

There were a lot of incidences like this when I was the one who became aggravated. Ako ang nawawalan kung baga. Sometimes, it's hard for me to say "no." I don't want to be a pushover but...

"Sabi nila kailangan ko siya. Sabi ko aalagaan ko siya at na mahal ko siya. Ang hindi ko alam, ang mga sinabi ko, narinig mo pala. Ayun, nasaktan at umalis ka. Sayang. Hindi mo man lang nalaman na ikaw at siya ay iisa."

Geez, I bet you guys didn't see this one coming huh? I usually update in the evening but I just felt inspired to get a move on and post the happenings in my life right now. Maybe it's because Anna said that she finally saw my bloggie and read all of my posts. Wahaha. Talaga? Ang kwento ng buhay ko, nalantad na. Haha.

First of all, like what I wrote in my last post, I became part of the Choir who would sing for today's Thanksgiving Mass. At first, I was all "Okay then! Meron namang mga Fourth Years na sasama sa amin eh." But when we arrived, only the five of us (Ernest, Romelie, Jen, Angel and op kors Ako) were there. I freaked out because I didn't think that our powers would be enough. So we just practiced some songs then off we went! We were standing on the stage and the offending microphone was, like, right in front of me. Kumusta naman yon? So I became conscious of my singing voice. I kept on thinking that if it rained, it would all be my fault.

And then we started to sing.

It wasn't bad. It was the worst. Seriously! Romelie kept on hitting the high notes when I already told her when we were practicing that, "Hun, your voice is already Level 10 while we are only Level 1/2. Wag mong taasan." Meanwhile, Jen and Angel were staying away from the mic as far as possible. And then in Ama Namin, I thought that peope were staring at us because we were singing in hushed voices. Di namin kasa alam yung tono ng version na tinutugtog. Sa Anima Christi naman, it's like I'm the only one who knew the song so I was the only one singing. Bleagh. And the icing on the cake is the song Pananagutan. We made a lot of mistakes! Gawd. It's all so embarassing. But I guess I'll have to get used to it because I always make a fool out of myself anyway.

But I am in tralala-mode today. Maybe it's because I might get a higher grade in Geometry this grading. The ceiling grade of all of the subjects for the 2nd grading is 92. So if I got 80 (excuse me po, bobo lang akong estudyante) last grading, I might get an 82 or 83 now. Hell yeah.

I didn't get the chance to post this funny story yesterday: Last night, while I was typing some things on the Computer, I heard the familiar "Balot! Bili na ng baloooot!!!" echoing our streets. My ears perking up, I soon dashed to my room to get my wallet and fish out a 20 peso bill. So I went outside and ran towards the direction of the Mambabalot while I was in my pajamas. Ang tibay ko 'no? I must've looked hysterically crazy, shouting, "Teka lang po! Hintay! Bibili ako ng balot!" Haha. Whatevs.

And another thing is while I was typing this post, I kept on sneezing. Last time I checked, I sneezed about 7 times. Hmm... May nakakaalala ba sa akin? O may sipon lang ako? Hehe.

"Sabi ko babawiin kita sa kanya. Sasabihin ko mahal na mahal pa rin kita! Nung papunta na ko sayo, nakita kong masayang-masaya ka na sa kanya. Naisip ko tuloy, mabawi pa kaya kita?"

Status of Sarah Jane Iligan in Her 2nd Periodical Test Part II

Social Studies- Wow! I think maperpefect ko to! Or if not, I can just add my plus 10. Oh yeah! Haha... Kakainis lang kasi marami akong naaral na wala sa test. Grr...

Filipino- Gaah. My brain went to overload because of the questions. I mean, hello??? Isama ba naman yung di namin pinagaralan. Kumusta naman yon?!

Geometry- Mahirap na madali. I don't know how to describe it actually because nasagutan ko't natapos but I am not too sure about the answers.

As you can see, I have a new layout na! Weh. It's not the most beautiful thing, I know. And yes, WHAT WAS I THINKING? Nilagay ko pa ang pangit kong picture para makita ng madla. Baka mabulag sila?! Heh. Who the heck cares?

Thanksgiving mass na tomorrow. I will be part of the Choir who would sing Christian songs all throughout the mass. Haha. Baka naman bumagyo? Whatever.

Periodical Test Part 1

2006-10-09T20:10:00.000-07:00

Status of Sarah Jane Iligan in her 2nd Periodical Test Part I:

English- This one was pretty easy. Especially the part about Grammar. But when it came to Literature, medyo nataranta ako because I didn't study some things about it and some of the authors. Umasa na lang ako kay Miss Manghuhula.

Trigonometry- The worst subject of them all!!! Dumugo ang utak ko sa kakasolve! Bleagh. I don't want to talk about it. Shinotgun ko ang test na ito.Next!

Values- Thank the Heavens for this subject! Ito lang ang chicken joy sa kadalian. But my only qualm was that most of the topics I didn't study didn't appear in the quiz. Well, okay lang.

Chemistry- Sunod na mahirap sa Trigo. Ang akala kong lalabas na Avogrado's Number blahblah ay di lumabas. Then there's the predicting the product of the given reactants. My gulay. Halos na akong mamatay. But I pulled myself back together and managed to finish the test.

So after the 1st PT, nagpictorial muna kami ni Kat. Wahahaha. Oh, and sinama ko na rin yung iba kong mga klasmeyts. Pero center stage muna kami. Hehe.

Drama muna...

Bago wacky!

Tapos mag-pose! Hehe!

And yes, I am still working on the new layout.

I Don't Have a Life

2006-10-08T19:30:00.000-07:00

My Adobe Photoshop is back! Oh yeah! And because I suddenly became interested in designing a new layout again, I spent the whole day trying to create a new skin. But in this world where fate would play a cruel trick on you without warning, my Adobe Photoshop keeps on screwing up and freezing. I cannot make my layout properly. Crap.

On the bright side, I have already made 50% of the articles I am planning to submit for the school newspaper. Uh-huh!

Tomorrow would be the big PERIODICAL TEST. Yes, the day where my future would be decided. Dammit, I haven't even studied yet! Ang tibay ko no? Wahahaha. Gawain ng mga tamad! Yan tuloy, guilty ako kasi sinulat ko sa isang article ko ang tungkol sa Mañana Habit:

4.) Mañana Habit
If Juan Tamad had a sister, her name would definitely be Mañana. The Mañana Habit comes from the Spanish word "by and by." This habit manifests itself in the form of continual procrastination and the lack of will to do anything worthwhile for the day. People who are Mañana tend to think that there is a lot of time left anyway since there will always be a tomorrow. They put off things and maintain an easygoing attitude similar to that of Juan Tamad. Expect them to always say, "Mamaya na! Mamaya na!"

I'm so bad. Bad girl, Sarah! Actually, gusto ko na magbago pero nahihirapan ako kasi nakagawian ko na. And you know what they say: Old habits die hard. How very true indeed.

It's official. I don't have a life.

"Friends are like mornings, you can't have them the whole day, but you can be sure they will be there when you wakeup tomorrow, next week, next year, forever."

Lee Da Hae is soooo cute. She may not be very photogenic but when you watch her on screen and the way she acts, you just fall in love with her more and more. If only I could look like her... *sigh*

I should really post something but I am upset about what happened a while ago. I am not in the mood to blog about it. It happened in our Periodical Test in Computer. I made a mistake that made my final grade REALLY LOW. Wah... Ang saklap. At least Kat and I got a perfect 96 in our Social Project.

Social Blues

2006-10-04T20:38:00.000-07:00

Yehes, folks... I'm beginning to feel the stress of highschool life. So many projects, a surprise Periodical Test in Computer (dat's rayt, SURPRISE... and what's worse, imbis na practical ay naging written...) and lots, lots more of requirements to complete. Whew.

Today, Kat and I went to my house to work on our project. Grabeh. So tiring! We did a lot of thigs and used a lot of crazy ideas. I don't know if our teacher will like it though. The look and the feel of our project is "native" and "tribal." Think Danaya of Encantadia fame. And yes, we used a lot of dried leaves. Fall is in the air!

You know what, Ms. Valdez asked me a while ago why I wasn't passing any articles for the school paper anymore. It's kinda weird since Katrina is always passing, like, 5 articles a month or so yet I still don't submit anything. I guess... It's because I have lost my interest in our school newspaper. Yes, I get bored easily. And I think I've figured out why. I like writing as a complete unknown, going by a pseudonym just to hide my identity. I've got this thing about seeing my name on paper you see. Also, I want to write without deadines. I don't want to write poems and essays... Who knows how badly I'll massacre literature if I do? I want to try writing stories, using unique characters and having a central plot that would at least be worthy to be read by the readers. Still, I would love to get reviews and read constructive criticisms. Those constructive criticisms wilI be my chance to improve myself and hone my craft. I guess that's why I'm much more suited to Fanfiction.Net. (No, hindi ako binayaran para i-advertise ang website na ito...LOL!)

Wahahaha. Wala lang. Just want to answer this quiz even if I am no style guru. Beh.

Anywayz, I started off the day with a BANG! Pwamis. I was just sleeping peacefully when Leuric called me and informed me na meron yatang pasok. Bummer. I reasoned with him that it is impossible since TV Patrol reported that there will be no classes in our city. Then we talked, blahblahblah... And by some good fortune, Nanay was going outside to buy medicine things in Mercury so I asked her that since malapit naman ang Regis sa National, ask na lang ni Nanay sa guard kung may pasok o wala. Buti na lang at nakabalik agad si Nanay and told me na meron nga pero pwede pa daw akong humabol. So I took a shower agad, forgot breakfast (huhuhu...) and dashed instantly. Pagdating ko, naglilinis lang naman ang mga classmates ko. I knew it. Well, I guess it was worth it kasi kinuha yung attendance namin and blahblahblah and after that, pina-dismiss agad kami ng mga 9:00. Wahaha...

So after that, I asked Katrina to come with me to National. E pagpunta namin, closed pa sila so we went to Jollibee to eat and fill our tummies (Actually, si Kat kumain at ako naman ang nag-pig out). Then we talked blahblahblah and then we saw... Malic! Wahaha. Katuwa. He told us that Pearl and Leuric would immediately follow him because they all agreed to meet up at the Jollibee branch in Jaka. So yun. Then we finally went to National and I searched for Otakuzine (my sister's crazy with that magazine) then we read this book by a famous preacher named Bo Sanchez. Yun. But what really surprised was kung gaano kabilis magbasa si Kat. It's like she just reads the things in bold and moves on. I know. Kasi tinitignan ko siya. Every five seconds niya tiniturn yung page. I had to use my "finger technique" to catch up with her. But I managed to read all of the contents and understand at least 80% of it. There were some parts that I may need to reread to fully grasp the idea behind it though. So after reading the book (or scan in Kat's case), I started to seach for the magazine for my sister. Ayun. Nakita ko na lang yung K-Zone and I guess that Jovelle may like it rin naman. But before buying it, my spending instincts suddenly kicked in so I bought two magazines for myself (Seventeen and Meg)! Wahahaha!

And you know, after talking to Katrina, I realized how childish and immature I was. My eyes are still not yet opened to the harsh realities of life. I'm still stuck in my own world. But you know what? It's like I don't want to come out with my comfort zone. I'm being stupid, I know. In fact, I don't know what to do with my life. I'm very undecided on what course I am going to take. I pray and pray and pray to God na sana I will know what I should do. Nothing's happening. Don't get me wrong, my faith in God is not wavering. Parang... Wala lang. Nakakatamad nang mag-aral. Nakakatamad na ng ganito... I'm being such a pessimist. This is so not me...

I guess, my relationship with my father is weakening. You see, he came home last night quite drunk and asked us to sleep with him. Little does he know that my two sisters have been waiting for him to come home but went back to our room na lang because they got bored. So when I learned that he drank (again), I got quite mad and confronted him about it. I told him that I love him but I am just against his drinking. It's bad for his health. He's just being so defensive and spouting nonsense that I sensed that our conversation is going nowhere. There was a point when I asked him if it was impossible to have fun without drinking any alchoholic beverages, he just answered me with a derisive laugh. At that time, I felt sorry for my poor Daddy. Diba pag nagkamali ang isang anak, pinapagalitan siya ng isang magulang? They are doing that because of LOVE. When I asked my Daddy to please stop drinking, I did it because I LOVE him. I'm concerned for him. But he's not listening. I guess that if this is what he wants, I'll just let him do it. Ako naman, I just want him to lead a long and happy life free of vices.

Was I wrong? Should I have just let him be? Was I a bad daughter for asking him to stop drinking- a habit he has already been accustomed to? I don't know, I don't know. I'm just so confused.

"I’m happy pag inaasar tayo sa isa’t isa. Quiet lang ako kahit kinikilig masyado. Pero sa totoo lang, nasasaktan ako. Alam mo kung bakit? Hirit mo kasi lagi, "What the hell? Alam niyo namang iba ang mahal ko.""

Yeah, Come On! May Ilaw Na!

Sa wakas, nagkakuryenta na!!!

Wow, I'm really a city girl through and through. When the typhoon Milenyo struck us, there was a city blackout and our supply of water ran out. Bummer. At first, I was okay with this. At least wala kaming pasok for four days. But then, things started to become worse. I started to become bored because of the lack of things to do in the house. We had to save our water supply, even being reduced to asking around if the neighbors have some extra water. I even went as far as going to SM to cool off. But then, I just had to find out that even if their generator is working, it doesn't affect the whole place. What I mean to say is: Walang aircon. Add to that the tremendous number of people inside SM (no doubt thinking that it is cool there like me) and we were stuck like sardines. Boy, is it hot! But the good thing was, I've finally eaten the Sumo Pork Tonkatsu at Tokyo Tokyo again. Yummy. Electricity's back now, thank goodness. I don't know if I would still be able to live without the TV, the computer, the radio, etc. But I've heard that there will be another typhoon coming! Wah! Not another blackout!!!

Blah. Blah. Blah. What can I say? Three days without blogging ought to give me enough time to produce an honor student-worthy piece. But you know, because of this stupid typhoon, I find myself running out of words to say. (I am now beginning to speak caveman. Ungga.)

Haha. Well, amused ako ngayon. I don't know. Lately I keep on thinking about that stupid thing. And people keep on reminding me about that stupid thing. It's really insignificant. Damn, it's all my friends' fault (Take note of the friends- marami sila). I don't want to put it here because pagtatawanan ninyo lang ako. I'm just so happy and proud and ecstatic. And did I say happy? Haha. Whatever.

The Rain Strikes Yet Again

2006-09-27T18:50:00.000-07:00

Woooh.... Such a tiring, tiring day. It's raining again, but I suppose that it is normal since September is usually associated with the rainy seasons. Yeah c'mon.

I actually paid the needed fee for my Field Trip! Woo! And you know what the good thing is? I got plus 20 in the Periodical in Chemistry because of this. Harhar. But I've already decided early on that I won't go swimming. That is just so weird because that's like throwing 500 pesos away since the Field Trip is mostly about swimming and having fun under the sun (if there will be).

I wanted to go to OC. Wala lang. Trip lang. But you know what? It just had to rain. Stupid rain. No offense Kat, ha? So Kat and I first went to Lesil with Ate Angelique just for the heck of it. We got bored kaya umalis kami at pumuntang National Book Store sa Jaka. Inside, we saw a very interesting book written by a Filipino writer. The format of the book is like Daddy Long Legs, except that this time, she used passages from her own diary and wrote it. It's a book about highschool life in the 1960s and how it is like to grow up and mature. She's kinda indecisive when it comes to boys. Haha. When you read the book, sobra kang matutuwa sa makulay niyang love life. Swear.

After that, nakitambay kami sa Jabee. We ordered two regular french fries for Dine-in (poor highschool students kasi). Then we talked and discussed regular girl stuff and read the current issue of Seventeen magazine. Tapos nag-order pa ako ng large french fries. Oy, thou shall be satisfied by the food given to thy stomach. Wahahaha!!!

And you know what the funny thing is? Pictures of Yael keep on popping out in almost every single place I go. He's eveywhere. Man, I'm obsessed. (But it IS true that I always him around. In fact, he's got a picture here in Seventeen magazine.)

Waaagh!!! Ang dami pa naming dapat gawin! Kahit isa wala pa akong nasulat... Hahaha! I'm so lazy! Gah! Gawin ko na nga kaya?!

"Ano nga ba talaga ako sa buhay mo kung siya ang leading lady at ikaw ang bida? Ah, oo nga pala. Bakit nakalimutan ko? Isa nga lang pala akong dakilang extra."

Good News and Bad News

2006-09-26T19:33:00.000-07:00

Xiemakers!!! My computer screwed up yet again and restarted while I was in the middle of connecting to the internet!

Good News: Regis won all the games in PSAP. (Well, the Volleyball and Basketball Boys at least.) Bad News: I am sooo jaded with Geometry. Everywhere I go, people are discussing isosceles triangle this and scalene triangle that. Yan tuloy, feeling PO ako. (BTW, PO means Placed-Out. Special thanks to Vince Cruz for adding this word to my vocabulary.)

Another Good News! Baka magka-SKYNET na kami! Wooo! Washuuu!!! Oh yes!

Aysusginuu.... Meron pang babush na nalalaman diyan ha... Wahahahahaha...!

“Bakit ganon? May mga taong manhid. Hindi nila gets and nararamdaman na may nagmamahal sa kanila. Kahit obvious na nga, eh. Kahit lahat ng tao alam na. Kainis, no? Bakit? Guilty ka, no? Talaga! Dapat maguilty ka. Kasi manhid ka!”

Woo! Sorry for not updating lately! I'm just so busy these days! Wahaha...

Let's see... Important events to take note of are the ff: 1.) I became an emcee for Joy's (Ate Preng's cute lil sis) 7th birthday party 2.) Prepared for Nicole's birthday party and again became the emcee 3.)Took 3 exams and is hoping to ace the Geometry test -fingers crossed-

A lot of things happened. And you know what? I've got a funny feeling that the rain is quite attached to me. I mean, on Friday, I was just about to go home when this rain suddenly appeared and drenched me. Sabi pa nga ng matanda na nakasalubong ko maligo daw ako kasi baka matrangkaso ako (op kors, di ko siya sinunod...wakekeke...!). And then on Saturday, I was just about to go to my Ninang's house when rain began to appear again! Wah! Buti na lang I brought an umbrella. Hehehe...

Anywayz, sabi ni Daddy ay magsasubscribe na kami sa SkyNet. YAY! Pero ewan ko lang. I don't want to keep my hopes up especially because I know Daddy's habit of making "empty promises." But I'm gonna believe in his powers this time.

There are many things I want to write that I couldn't. Harhar. I guess I may just be too lazy to put all the details here. Ah, ewan...

Baywalk Gimmick

2006-09-21T18:32:00.000-07:00

This day is so fun! Gosh, gimmick and gala ever lang ang ginawa namin nina PB, Abby and Jen. Dapat nga kasama si Kat but she has to go and make sundo her baby sister. Aww...

First of all, before going to our destination, we first hanged out out in school. Tapos, nung narinig naming ngayon ang tutorial ng pinsan ni Mommy Astrid (Kuya ang tawag ko sa kanya kasi di ko alam ang name, LOL), tumambay kami sa room kung saan siya magtsututor. Grabeh. Ang kulit namin nina Abby. We kept on asking this and that and what finally broke the straw was when we made a comment about linear pairs forming a sort of "L-shape" in the figure. Nagalit siya and kicked us out off the room. Nakita pa nga kami ni Sir Belen eh. He berated us for being "disturbers" and annoying the heck out of Kuya. Kami naman, medyo naguilty so we just left na lang.

We then went to Lianas to buy some "baon" for the trip. Nge! Picnic???! After that, we boarded an FX. Imagine, nagastos ko ang buong pera ko because one passenger is required to pay 30 pesos! And to add to that is the fact that I promised to PB and Abby that I will pay for them. Wahaha! Bye-bye allowance!

When we arrived, una naming pinuntahan ang Wishing Fountain. PB made the mistake of calling it as a Wishing Well. Jen just laughed and playfully scolded her na ang well ay balon. Di pwedeng maging isang well ang malaking fountain na naglalabas ng tubig. Tapos nun, nag-wish kami. Ako lang ang di nag-wish. Wahaha. So with that done, we moved on to going to the actual Baywalk. We just talked and had an "open forum" while looking at the peaceful sea. Haha. Bonding to the max. But all of us thought that Baywalk will look much better if we went there at night. Syempre, dahil beggar highschool students lang kami (o baka ako lang yun?), imposible yun. Also, while strolling, we caught a couple, ahem, abandoning their modesties and having mouth-to-mouth contact in public. PB was laughing like a maniac habang kami naman ay pinabayaan na lang yun.

Nung pauwi na, ako ang huling bababa sa FX. Haha. So lonely. At alam ninyo ba yung song na nagsisimula bago ako bumaba? Nakakapagtaka by Sponge Cola. San ka pa?

"Bakit pag kaibigan mo, walang break-up? Pero once maging kayo, kaunting away break agad? Diba natin naiisip na kung sa magkakaibigan may intindihan, what more sa nagmamahalan, diba?"

2006-09-19T19:00:00.000-07:00

Washuuu! Wow, okay rin ang araw na ito. Ahahaha. Wholeday namin. Saya nung Computer. Naka-92 pa sa Recitation. Harhar. Palibhasa nag-volunteer mauna kaya madali yung napunta sa aking tanong. Kasi, panigurado naman na if I chose to go last, my teacher will give a super-duper hard question. Bleah.

And Values was very entertaining. It's about God in our lives. Katuwa nga kasi Belen and the others used a CD player to let us hear "Our Father." Haha. And the female singing the song is... Haha. Basta. When we talked about God, I thought that maybe having Religion class or Philosophy would be a good addition to our classes. You know, a class where we can share our thoughts and exchange ideas to broaden our knowledge and widen our perspectives. Masaya yun!

Inimbitihan ako nina Jen pumuntang Baywalk. Hmm... I'll try.

And don't you just hate it when people make "parinig?" Hel-lo??? Alam na nga nilang accept na ng tao na mali siya but that KSP person just had to go and announce the issue so damn loudly that even the people from Pluto can hear it. Isn't saying a "wholehearted sorry" not enough? No, not for people like them. Those people are people who have huge egos, having an innocent facade when in truth, they are the ones who have insecurity issues and rely on humiliating people just to feel good about themselves. My advice? Get a life.

Sorry, it's just that my blood boils at the thought of people like them. Note! People like them. I have met many people like her but she's like a wolf in sheep's clothing... Are you getting what I'm saying? Hindi ko naman sinasabing masama siya but that attitude of hers just has to go.

"Before, hinahabol kita pero di mo ako pinapansin. Tapos isang araw nawala ako, hinanap mo ako at tinanong, "Bakit ka nagsawa?" Ngumiti ako, "Hindi ako nagsawa. Natauhan lang.""

Kaasar!

2006-09-18T18:40:00.000-07:00

Waagh!!! Sapol! I just received a major bad news! Super disappointed ako! Pwamis! I just heard from Jen na... bawal na ang mga estudyanteng naka-unipormeng mag SM! No! Also, napagalaman ko pang bawal din kami sa MOA! Actually, dapat Municipal lang ang bawal. Sila naman ang mahilig mag-cutting classes. But they just had to be jealous of all the other schools and protest that the same be done for the others to be "fair." Fair my face. E pano naman kaming pumupunta lang sa SM minsan o kung talagang kelangan para bumili ng school supplies???! DAMN.

Grabeh. I'm just so angry now.

Well, inayos ko ang mga gamit ko kanina. Kumuha ako ng bagong bag because my old one is already dirty, with ballpen marks on its cover. I got a bag that totally screams "Rebel Girl!" Harhar. Inayos ko na rin ang money ko. Wow. Marami na pala akong naipon. LOL.

"Alam mo ba na hinihintay pa rin kita? Na hindi pa ko naghahanap ng iba? Na ikaw lagi ang iniisip ko? Alam mo ba na hanggang ngayon mahal pa rin kita? Ikaw kasi, eh. Bumitaw ka. Sa susunod, wag kang bibitiw bigla ha?"

Weh!!!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammelled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that
you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Marami pa akong kinuhang mga tests pero ito na muna ang ipopost ko. Wagh!!! Nakakatawa yung nakuha kong result no?

Just watched Love Spell. Uhm, well... The only thing I can say is that mas kinilig ako sa Rayver-Shaina tandem. I don't know. I mean, I like Ate Kim and I don't have anything against Gerald but is it me or am I getting the feeling that ABS is shoving the Kim-Gerald loveteam in our faces? If so, then they still haven't learned from their mistakes. Yun din ang ginawa nila sa Hero-Sandara loveteam eh. Panigurado, magsasawa rin ang mga tao sa kanilang loveteam.

And did you guys watch Game Ka Na Ba yesterday? Why the heck is Kris Aquino teasing Yael about Sitti?!!! Gah!

"Hindi na kita nahintay kasi napagod na ako. Ayoko nang masaktan pa kaya hindi na ako aasa. I’ll try to move on pero babagalan ko. Baka sakaling mahabol mo pa ko."

Basta. Yun 'yun.

2006-09-15T18:34:00.000-07:00

Waagh. This day is not nakakapagod but nakakaantok. Yawn. I guess it has something to do with being incredibly lazy and not doing anything for the whole of PEHM class other than watching people play and have fun. And when asked why I do not want to participate in any sport such as volleyball, badminton, table tennis, etc, I cheerily replied, "Matagal ko nang tanggap na wala akong talento sa larangan ng pampalakasan." Haha. The look on Vince Cruz's face was priceless.

On the good side, the Boys Volleyball Team won. Good job! Sabi ko sa inyo ang panonood ko ng mga laban ay lucky charm. -winks-

Because Kat was busy doing her own thing and churva, I bonded with Jennylyn and Hannah. They shared to me some of their problems. I really don't know. In just one day, TWO PEOPLE have shared to me some of their most intimate secrets. Wow. I have to keep their trust.

And I also went along with Sydeco and Acosta who nowadays are practically attached to the hip. Meaning, that they are so close you'll rarely see one without the other. They gave me a lot of laughs. Lalo na nung naglaro kami ng table tennis. Katuwa nung kunwari ititira na ni Sydeco yung bote kay Vince Cruz (habang naglalaro sina Jacinto at Loyola nang table tennis) nang biglang nabato ni Sydeco yung bote at BAM! Natamaan si Jacinto sa mukha. Sapol. Wahahaha.

And yes, I find it annoying that even when you show concern to a person, sasabihin na lang niyang "Wala ito" and then push you aside as if you are just some kind of garbage. ~~Pano kung masaktan uli siya???~~

I might not update tomorrow. We're gonna go to the province. To Sta. Anna, Pampanga I think. Wahoohoo. Babalik ako sa lugar kung saan malayo ang sibilisasyon. I'm gonna be a savage! Joke!

Basta. Yun 'yun. (Yung Yun 'yun thingy ay nakuha ko sa kantang Bitiw ng SC. Aztig diba?

"Pag dumadaan ka, deadma lang. Pag kinakausap mo ko, deadma lang. Pag tinutukso nila ako sayo, deadma lang. Kahit naman kasi sabihin ko sayong mahal kita, deadma ka lang, eh."

(PS: My stomach really, really, really hurts. I wanna have menopause as soon as possible! Rawr...!)

Sooo Tired

2006-09-13T20:49:00.000-07:00

Sus... I arrived here at 5:00, ate and then slept and never woke up until 8:40 PM. Up until now, I still feel dizzy and kinda nauseous. I have know idea why though. And my, ehem, "monthly visitor" has arrived again. Yes, I feel like crap. My, how golly-gosh nice...

Went to Mommy Astrid's house today. Wahehehehe! I finished the whole CDs of Hunter X Hunter Greed Island Final. There were 14 CDS all in all and I watched the CDs 7 up to 14 today. Aren't I such a patient viewer? -grins-

I hate it when my friends are fighting. Ouch.

Why do some people have to be determinedly stubborn? Why do they have to let their pride take over them? They cannot even say sorry even if they are wrong. These kind of people are the worst. If they can't admit their mistakes, then they certainly don't have the positive virtues needed to be considered as a "humble and peace-loving character" the Bible wants us to be.

Sigh. I miss it. Pero alam ko nang di na pwede dahil kasalanan ko naman kung bakit nawala pa. Di mo nga naman malalaman kung anong meron ka hanggang di nawawala sa iyo. I really, really miss that good memory.

...I feel guilty because ngayon ko lang na-appreciate.

"Ang pag-ibig, parang gera. Pag lumaban ka, makakaramdam ka ng sakit at lungkot. Ang pinagkaiba lang, sa gera, ang nanakit sayo, pwede mo ring saktan. Sa pag-ibig, ang nanakit sayo di mo pwedeng gantihan."

Muffins, Understanding and 9/11

2006-09-11T19:09:00.000-07:00

Apple-Walnut Muffin

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, or 1 egg + 2 whites
1 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed (additional)
2/3 cup buttermilk,
2 tablespoons oat bran
2 small apples, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1 small apple, cut into 12 slices

Directions:
OVEN: 375 Grease 12 standard size muffin paper cups or line with paper liners.

Mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix together eggs, apple juice concentrate and buttermilk.

Stir flour mixture and oat bran into egg mixture til dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix. Gently stir in chopped apples and walnuts.

Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling 2/3 full. Garnish each muffin with an apple slice.

Bake muffins 25 minutes, or til lightly golden and tops spring back when pressed.

Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Turn muffins out onto a rack to cool completely.

I made this just a while ago. But Mrs. Agila's muffins are much, much tastier. Mine tastes like... eww. (Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating but the taste is not really that nice. Sobra sa flour.)

Gah... Ang saklap ng buhay ko. Stupid, stupid! I try to understand things but the more I try to comprehend them, the more I get myself confused. Pwede ba? Maging simple na lang kaya ang buhay!

Congratulations to my Ninang Cynthia! Vice President of FVHA (?)! YAY! Cogratulations po talaga.

September 11 nga pala. I guess in this date, I can still remember about that sad day. But you know what? I've just thought that there are times when people are so occupied with their day-to-day life that they forget about God. They exclude Him in their lives. And when tragedy strikes, that's when they call out to Him. Isn't it weird?

"Kahit saktan mo ang taong nagmamahal sayo nang sobra, kahit ilang ulit mo siyang itulak palayo sayo, patuloy ka pa rin niyang mamahalin. Kasi kahit na nasasaktan siya, alam niya na sayo lang siya sasaya."

Wag Kang Bibitiw Ha!

2006-09-10T18:40:00.000-07:00

It's Voting Day here in Fortunata! And yes, ako ang boboto for the Iligan family because wala sina Mommy and Daddy (both abroad) and I am technically the legal one to qualify as the replacement. Bweh...! I voted the Democratic Party. Straight yun ah! That's what my Ninang asked me to do naman eh.

Wah. Ang saklap ng buhay ko! So many things to do, so many things to worry about... Look! I'm becoming thinner, my face is getting paler and my eyebags are growing larger! And what is the product of all the hard work I've been doing just for the sake of my studies? Nothing! Grr... I told you. Masaklap talaga ang buhay ko. Kung kayo naging ako, ewan ko lang kung makakatagal kayo...

Well, enough about this drama. I don't think it's wise to be contemplating about the past. It's the present that really matters.

Here is the lyrics of Yael's new song. It's so damn good! Gah. I'm sooo addicted to it. Really! And I just found out that it's one the theme songs of Pedro Penduko. Hindi ngaaaa?!

Bitiw (Sponge Cola)

Bitiw

Wag kang bibitiw bigla

Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit

Maglalayag patungong langit

Wag kang bibitiw bigla

Pikit ang iyong mata

Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit

Maglalayag patungong langit

Ating tinig

Abot langit...

Wag kang bibitiw bigla

Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit

Maglalayag patungong langit

Wag kang bibitiw bigla

Pikit ang iyong mata

Higpitan lang ang iyong kapit

Maglalayag patungong langit

Heto na tayo...

Another drool-worthy song... Sigh! Oh, and speaking of songs, have you seen the Mayonnaise's new music video? The one where they do a parody of the most recognized videos of other artists like Hale, Sandwich and Kitchie Nadal among others? Haha! I swear, it's so funny! Lalo na nung ginagaya nila sina Champ and Kitchie. Bwahaha...!

Princess Hours

2006-09-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

Isn't Yoon Eun Hye as Chae Gyung from Princess Hours so adorably pretty?

In case you don't know what Goong or Princess Hours is all about, here is the Summary taken from Wikipedia : Due to a promise between the former king of Korea and an ordinary, strong-willed girl's grandfather, our heroine finds herself betrothed to a seemingly cold-hearted, self-centered crown prince of Korea. How can she marry a guy whom she overheard proposing to another girl! Both unwilling parties agree to the marriage, each with his and her own different motivations for the agreement to marry. Can love bloom under the strain of love rivals and political ambitions?

I heard that the Kapamilya network have managed to get this Korean drama. How sad! GMA is losing all the good Asian dramas! First, My Girl then It Started with a Kiss and now Goong? And I've also heard that Endless Love 4: Spring Waltz is with ABS too! Haaay...

Well, on the bright side, I watched The Semi-Finals of the US Open for the females this morning. YAY! Sharapova advanced to the Finals! Way to go, girl!

Ang kulit ng panaginip ko kanina. Let's just say that it involved my classmates and a steamy bowl of noodles. Hehe...!

"Madaling magkamali, mahirap umiwas. Madaling magdesisyon pero minsan mahirap manindigan. At higit sa lahat, madaling sabihin na ayaw mo na pero minsan mahirap tigilan dahil mahal mo pa."

Volleyball... We Rule!

2006-09-08T18:05:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! The Godliness Volleyball Team of the Boys and Girls won! Whoo! Double win!

Haha. Next year, sasali na ako ng Volleyball Team kahit na di ako marunong. Habol ko lang yung jersey. Oh, and also the plus whenever the team wins.

This day is so tiring. Imagine, I had to go all the way back to our house this morning just to get a 1/8 illustration board. Wala kami so I just took my English project that is on 1/4 last year and tried to cut it. Har har. Buti na lang at sa likod (the black part of the board) ko ginawa ang project ko. It's even luckier that the teachers had a meeting so we just copied some lecture in our notebooks. We never got to use the illustration board.

Then the play on Social. I really thought that we would royally screw up but in the end, everything turned okay. Our play wasn't the best but not being the worst is good enough for me.

Katrina, okay lang yan. You'll soon find your test papers. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRECIOUS!!!

"There are times that I’m so kulit that you like to put scotchtape na to my mouth. Minsan I’m so isip bata that you like to tie me na to a tree. Pero kahit na you do all that to me, di kita iiwan kasi love kita."

Lord of the Volleyball

2006-09-07T17:33:00.000-07:00

Omigosh. I can't believe that I have existed all these years without having any clue what The Lord of the Flies is all about. I finally got a chance to read it and I absolutely loved it! The way the book deals with the foundations of our society and that without it, our inner savagery can come to light... It just makes you think, ya know? Sobrang nakakatuwa siya, pwamis. Read this book if you have the time.

Kanina, habang nagprapractice (if you can call it that...) kami sa Social, there was a certain incident involving Volleyball that made me considerably happy. Small lang siya pero ako ang natuwa. Heh. Wala lang.

My head still frickin hurts from that Geometry seatwork.

"Sa buhay, may mga taong dapat ipaglaban at mga taong dapat ipagpaliban. Parang tayo. Ipagpaliban mo man ako, ipaglalaban pa rin kita."

2006-09-06T18:44:00.000-07:00

MVP:

Do you agree with this? For me, I guess not. We are real people, not some characters from a highschool drama like The O.C. or One Tree Hill. Real people are not supposed to be "labeled" or stererotyped. Do you get what I'm saying?

Hah... Kagigising ko lang. Inaantok pa nga ako eh. Nag-wholeday ako for our Social Presentation pero wala namang nangyari kasi wala yung iba naming ka-groupmates. And then yung iba nag-antayan. Gah! Hindi ako yung official leader but I might as well become one because I'm the one handling the group. And handling the group means more headaches.

Nakakainis! Kasi, parang tinatambakan kami ng mga, *ahem*, lecheng assignments ng teachers namin. Baka nga pinilano na nila ito from the very start. At ang lapit na ng Periodical Test! Damn.

"Importante ba yung word na "mahal"? Ewan ko lang pero para sakin mas importante ka. Alam mo ba kung bakit? Kasi how can I say "mahal kita" kung wala ka naman?"

Just Like Heaven

2006-09-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in a soulmate?

A soulmate is said to be a twin flame or twin soul – thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul for which all souls are driven to find and join. Together, they complete each other.

I really don't believe in the concept of a soulmate but now, just the mere sound of it makes me so "kilig" after I watched Just Like Heaven in HBO. And the fact that one of my fav actresses (Reese Witherspoon) is in the starring role made me love this movie even more. Heart!

I've got some good news: (1) I did quite well on my quizzes in Chemistry, Geometry, Computer and Trigonometry! YAY! (2) The Godliness Volleyball Team of the Boys have won against III-Cleanliness! (3) Narinig ko na ang gusto kong marinig (and no, it doesn't concern my nonexistant lovelife. LOL)

"Pag nakaramdam ka ng pagmamahal, iappreciate mo. Wag mong balewalain dahil baka magsisi ka na lang isang araw, kung kailan mo pa nakita na siya na nga ang para sayo, hindi na siya sigurado na ikaw pa rin ang para sa kanya."

EDIT! Sowi po ah! Iniba ko na ang layout kasi pagod na akong nakikita ang pangit kong mukha sa Header! I've replaced it with my old layout bec of 2 reasons: 1) Bec, it is ORANGE and ORANGE is supposed to be my power color 2)It's inspired by Shakespeare.

2006-09-04T20:57:00.000-07:00

Excerpt from one of my upcoming Naruto stories:

("Stop it!" Naruto ran swiftly to Itachi, a second tail appearing from behind him. However, Kisame anticipated the attack and instead, was the one who met the feral ninja’s attack.

Naruto’s fist landed on Kisame’s palm and with a push, he had sent Naruto tumbling and rolling on the ground. After that, Itachi used the Katon: Karyu Endan jutsu, firing a large flame directly at Naruto.

Naruto managed to escape (the Kyuubi IS the ultimate master of fire) as Sakura and Sasuke looked on.

"Sakura, I have to help Naruto!" Sasuke said, gazing at the medic desperately.

Sakura looked at Sasuke intensely. "No, Sasuke-kun. You can’t fight Itachi-san now. Not in the state you’re in."

The Uchiha avenger glared at Sakura murderously. "Oh? And I suppose you can?"

"As a matter of fact, yes." Sakura answered firmly, rendering Sasuke speechless. "I can defeat Itachi-san and Kisame-san. I have thought that playing a medic on the sidelines would be for the best in this battle, but I suppose it is the time to use my trump card."

Trump card? What the hell? She’ll just get herself killed! thought Sasuke tensely as Haruno Sakura stepped into the battlefield without any hesitation.)

Blah. This might look serious and all but it will be sooo weird and ridiculous at the end. But that's how jokes go, right? (BTW, the title of this fic is Darna. -winks-)

And I'm super duper in love with Baking! I want to make a cake! A cake of love! And I'll give it to my loved ones! Also, I'm finishing up Hamlet. It's quite... interesting. Shakespeare sure has a way with words. I mean, he could just let the main character say "I will take revenge someday" but noooo, he just had to make him say it in the most intricate of words that are honeyed over.

I bake, I read Hamlet... BOOYAH! I'm getting productive with my time! (Though I admit that it is hard to believe...)

Still, for the life of me, I still can't learn how to play CHESS! Gah! I mean, pag tinuturuan ako, laging nawawala sa isipan ko yung moves ni ganito and ni ganoon and then... BAM! Waagh... I so hate this! I can already see the headlines now: 14-year old girl found dead. Experts claim mental torture from chess the cause.

I think, when it comes to Chess, only World Champion Gary Kasparov can help me.

I don't update this blog as much as I used to. Then again, I don't write stories as much as I used to. I don't know. It's just that things are getting weird lately. I need to prioritize.

And even though I'm an Associate Editor (or so they say...) for our school newspaper, I still don't feel it. Ewan ko. Parang mas preferable pa nga sa akin ang mag-publish ng stories under a pseudonym in the internet than have an article written in the newspaper with my name on it. Pero baka ako lang yun.

Quiz for Chem tomorrow. Man!

"Dati may nagmahal sa akin. Manhid daw ako at walang pakiramdam. Di ko raw kasi nakita, di ko raw naramdaman. Pero kung manhid ako, bakit mahal kita? Di mo ba alam, di mo ba nakita? Bakit? Manhid ka rin ba?"

Nakapagtataka (SpongeCola's Version)

Walang tigil ang gulo sa aking pag-iisip

mula ng tayo’y nagpasyang maghiwalay

nagpaalam pagkat hindi tayo bagay

nakapagtataka, ooh-wooh

Kung bakit ganito ang aking kapalaran

di ba ilang ulit ka ng nagpaalam

nakapagtataka, nakapagtataka

[refrain]Hindi ka ba napapagod

o di kaya nagsasawasa ating mga tampuhan walang hanggang katapusan

napahid na’ng mga luha

damdamin at puso’y tigang

wala ng maibubuga

wala na akong maramdaman

kung tunay tayong nagmamahalan

ba’t di tayo magkasunduan

Walang tigil ang ulan at nasaan ang araw

napa’no na’ng pag-ibig sa isa’t-isa

wala na bang nananatiling pag-asa

nakapagtataka, saan na napunta?

[repeat refrain]

This song is teh bomb. And with Yael's amazing vocal prowess, this song just rocked out more. I so heart it.

Bleah. Can you believe it? Of all people, I just had to be the one to conduct the Philippine National Anthem today. Grr... And here I was jut minding my own business when they go and call me "Sarah! Kelangan ikaw ang mag-beat!" (Hm, I guess I should hide in the CR again tomorrow before the bell rings just in case!)

And I'm starting to like Math na. Haha. Ewan, basta nagegets ko na siya. Wahahaha. Basta. Yun na yun. MU na kami ni Math. Sinagot na niya ako sa wakas! (Oh yeees!!!)

Kanina, it's like Garcia and some unknown others got into trouble and Mrs. Javaluyas didn't like it. I don't know. She forbid the students who know about this cetain "incident" from ever telling it to us. Whoa. Sounds pretty serious.

And because Columna's absent, the seat beside me was empty. Tumabi sa akin si Steven. Waagh! Ang daldal niya! Ang daming kwento ever! Ang hirap hindi na rin dumaldal!

Oh, and I wrote the next chapter of the Princess Chronicles. I'm gonna post it later in Fanfiction.Net.

Tralala! I'm in "sugar-high-bodrering-on-delusional-mode" today! But who the heck cares? And who the heck wants to know?

2006-08-25T18:50:00.000-07:00

I really think that you're blind for liking someone like me. Someone please knock some sense into this poor guy's head. -I just wanted to post this one before my actual update. Yeah, this just came to me while I was typing. Kat, alam mo kung sino ang tinutukoy dito no? Hehe...

Thank God it's over! Yes, folks. Linggo ng Wika is finally, FINALLY over.

But in fairness, the juniors did well in their performance. Our dance presentation is the Swing. At first, I thought that we would royally screw up, but as it turns out, everything went smoothly according to plan. Heh. And I got to dance without making a fool of myself in HIGH HEELS. As in 2 1/2 inches (or so I think). I know it made me look TALL but I couldn't move PROPERLY without being CONSCIOUS of myself. Well, it managed to pull it off though. (And what a miracle, LOLZ!)

Super kilig kanina in the musical play. I was giggling like a schoolgirl (Well, I am still technically a schoolgirl but just pretend that you catch my drift)! The actors were great, but the sound system just made their performance... not presentable (I blame it sa kakuriputan ng Regis).

Bleah. I know that I haven't updated in ages. No, I'm not stuck under a rock and living primitively again. I just decided to prioritize on some things. Er, right.

And if you can, try to read the manga or watch Eyeshield 21, BLEACH and Hikaru no Go! These three titles are addicting! Go now! Do what you must! Seach the whole internet if needed! Don't lose time! GO!!!

Ang Kyut Ko!

"Ang cute mo talaga!"

Eh...? WTF..! Bakit halos lahat ng tao today sinasabi sa akin to? Ewan ko, pero lagi nilang sinasabi to and I my response is only "Uhm, okaaaay..." Teka, baka naman may nakain silang contaminated food kaya nasabi nila ang bagay na yun!

Wow. Things are REALLY getting busy. Ang section namin ang kelangan mag-sacrifice para maging maganda ang sayaw namin. Sobra talagang hectic schedule ko. 4 Quizzes tomorrow, practice for Linggo ng Wika tsaka practice for my report in Values na rin. My only consolation is the suspension of classes on Monday.

Pero in fairness, ang saya-saya ng sumasayaw! Ang sarap kumembot then mag-twirl tapos magpopose complete with flashing a blinding smile. Meron pa nga dung dance move na tinawag namin ni Francis na "Sheenanegan." Yeah baby yeah!

Haha. People I don't know know me and minsan, I don't even know why. Ang weird lang. Kasi, you just walk by and then someone asks, "Excuse me, ikaw ba si ganyan?"

And I'm really happy. I was included in the Achievers, meaning that kasama na ako sa mga walang line of seven. Good! I'm so relieved. Akala ko talaga bagsak ako sa Geometry. I'm Top 5.5, tie with Leuric. Hehe. Ang weird pa nga nito ay magkatabi kami so maybe pag katabi ko siya, pwede pa kami magtulungan. Har har!

Aah~ Babawi na lang ako next grading! It's not the end of the world yet! Go!

Happy (Belated) Bday!

2006-08-16T18:07:00.000-07:00

Happy Belated Bday Daddy!!!

Even though we sometimes fight and even though we sometimes have silly little arguments, you know that deep down, I love you very much! Deep, deep down! Joke! Hehe! I labs you talaga Dad!

I was going to post this much, much earlier but my intenet was getting all grouchy so I cannot connect properly to Blogger yesterday.

Wow. I haven't updated in a while. Whoo! But my life is going in the right direction again. Har har. I'm just so busy these days. Homework coming right after one another, reports, surprise quizzes and practice for Linggo ng Wika is just so tiring! And I'm getting a tutor in Math. YAY!

Adik na adik na ako sa mga Japanese songs! I really love Sunrise Train and Omakage. Actually, love ko lahat! I'm so addicted, in fact, that I got the lyrics of the Japanese songs and started singing! Kahit kapatid ko rin naadik.

And kanina, while I was in MTF, bibili sana ako ng magazine and then this Korean girl approached me and said something... Korean. Of course, being a Filipino through and through, I just stared at her blankly. We were staring at each other for a few seconds until she asked: "Do you speak Korean?" Surprised, I shook my head vehemently saying "No! No! I don't even understand Korean!"

How weird! I don't even look Chinese. Maybe my other sister, Jovelle, can be mistaken as a Chinese/Korean/Japanese because she has chinky eyes and has a yellowish complexion. But me? Heck no!

Okay, that's it. I'm running out of time na. Kelangan ko na mag-dinner (we eat early). Babush!

My Inner Color

2006-08-10T19:58:00.000-07:00

Your true colour is orange!

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful colour that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanour. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolises attraction. Orange is an extraordinary colour -- for an extraordinary person.

Stupid

2006-08-07T19:23:00.000-07:00

Stupid.

I'm so stupid. I'm such an idiot. I really hate myself.

It's not like I'm grade-conscious. All I want is to have decent grades, keep my head up and pass my highschool years with a clean record. That's all I ask.

But I've gotten LOW scores in my Periodical Tests in Chemistry, Geometry and maybe even Trigonometry. Simply put, I'm FAILING. The possibility of me getting a seventy in Geometry is 50-50. And no Achiever can have a 70 in his/her card.

I know you can't have anything in life. You'll either get something better... or something worse.

In my case, my life just took a 360 degree turn for the worst.

What are they going to say? What are my parents going to say? What will my family say? What will my teachers say? What will my friends say?

That I'm not good enough?

That maybe I'm just too stupid to comprehend all these things being taught to me?

Then maybe they're right...

I'm a big failure.

I hate this feeling. I hate wallowing in self-pity but I'm in deep trouble now. I want to cry. Something inside me wants to snap. The urge to scream and shout how I hate myself for being so damn stupid is getting very tempting. I'm trying my best. I really am. But is it my fault that I'm not born as some kind of hotshot Math genius???

The only thing that soothes my soul right now is the thought of God. I sometimes feel like I can't go on but eveytime I feel down, I just read the Bible.

But that feeling of relaxation is only for a fleeting moment and I'll suddenly jolt back into Earth and tell myself, "Oh yeah. I still have this big problem."

Life is full of tests. This is a test of inner strength, faith and perseverance. A test to determine if I'll give up or keep on pushing forward.

I do not want to fail in this test too. I do not want to fail God. So I'll have to choose the last option.

That's why I'm giving it eveything I can. That's why I'm still smiling even though I'm hurting inside. That's why I'm being positive, believing that in the future lies a bigger and much brighter possibility for me.

Yes, it's what I'm always thinking. That's how a fool's mind works. Yes, I'm a fool. But I'm an optimistic fool.

I'm terribly sorry for dumping all this trash here in my bloggie. It's just that... Well, writing all of this stuff makes me feel a whole lot better. Weird, I know. Still...

This Day is Like, So-so...!

2006-08-01T19:19:00.000-07:00

I'm so relieved that this day is finally over. It's not a bad day but I'm getting really anxious about my test results in Geometry. I don't know. Alam kong tama ang sagot ko with all the solution and checking churva pero sabi sa akin ni Pearl mali daw yung sagot ko. I'm so nervous! Ewan, ewan, ewan. Bahala na Siya.

Gumagawa rin ako ng story. It's about how the III-Godliness Gang would find food in the Paleolithic Age. Heh. Wala lang. Trip lang.

And is it me or is life trying to play a cruel joke on me??? I mean, kanina there were a lot of coincidences involving that so... Ah, whatever!

And Kat got quite emotional today. Ewan ko kung bakit siya umiyak. Maganda naman ang grades niya, unlike me who is super bobo in Math. And yung iniiyakan niya, yung 78% lang na activity niya sa Computer. E di ba niya alam na makakabawi naman siya sa mga previous activities tsaka sa Periodical Test? Hindi naman siya lost cause katulad ko na walang project sa Math kaya instant 70. At di lang yun, ang baba ko pa sa Quizzes tapos di pa ako nagrerecite. There's no shame in having a grade like that because in the end, mataas naman ang percentage niya!

Jovelle's classmate is gonna burn a CD for me! Oh yes! Hehe...! Lahat ng mga favorite Japanese songs ko mabuburn and I'm so happy. Well, I might download those songs myself if only the computer doesn't have such a crappy internet speed.

Oh, Shige-kun? Where are you now? I really need you... Sigh.

Failure

2006-07-30T17:52:00.000-07:00

Grabeeeeh!!!

I'm so depressed. Really depressed. I need some chocolate. I might fail in Geometry! *whimpers* I can't stand it! I might not make it to the Top 5! I'm so stupid! Oh my gosh... I sooo hate this! My only chance to get my grades up in that subject is the Periodical Test which I'm not sure if I'm gonna pass. All my quizzes and seatworks... They're gone! Waagh! I don't know where it is and because I don't have them, I can't compile them. And because I can't compile them, I have no project. And because I have no project, I might just as well kiss my chance of making it into the Top 5 goodbye... Huhu...

How can I stay happy? How the hell do I manage to even dance and sing in the morning? Is this all an act to cover up for my depression?

...I'm FAILING...

... but I'm not doing anything about it....

... why???....

But I'm an optimistic person, a master of rebound. I can do this. I have faith in Him.

... ?!!

2006-07-29T19:34:00.000-07:00

Wait, teka lang po! Nandito ang cousins ko. YAY!

Soooo sorry for not updating lately! I did not buy an internet card until only a while ago, when I made my sister promise me (read: force) that she’ll buy me an internet card. And buy an internet card she did!

We went to Valenzuela yesterday! Yahoo! Happy birthday Jedykins! One year old ka na! Haha! I feel ashamed for not giving you a bday present, especially because I’m your ninang! I’ll make it up to you in the future! And Kuya Arwyn, what you did for your little bro was extremely sweet of you. Shucks!

Ah, well. There's a lot of things to do now that we are nearing the First Periodical Test. And could you believe that I actually did homework before going to the internet? Wow! Isn't it a miracle???

And I'm a little sick. Yes, I caught a cold. And more than ever, I look more tired and sleepless and like a ghostie-whostie Sadako wannabe. Feh. I hate getting colds. My voice becomes huskier and I end up blowing GALLONS of sticky fluid from my nose. Yuck!

My Girl is addicting. But I'm currently in love with Goong! The main heroine is sooo funny and bubbly while the guy is kinda an Ice Prince... Well, no wonder since he is the Prince of Korea after all! Haha! I want to buy a DVD of it! Even the pirated version would do! Gah, if only I have the money. (I have some but I'm saving money for reasons even I don't know.)Well, I guess I'll have to settle with reading the summary of it some... where. Um, yes. And I'll pay my Mommy Astrid to burn me a CD with the list of my all-time fav Japanese songs. Oh yes!

Oh, and don't you just hate it when authors from Fanfiction.Net confuse "your" with "you're?" And here they are calling themselves writers. Yeah, riiiiight...

One Starry Night...

2006-07-26T18:47:00.000-07:00

I wished one starry Sunday night for us to not have any classes on Monday. My wish has been granted. I wished one starry Monday night for us to not have any classes on Tuesday. My wish has been granted. I wished one starry Tuesday night for us to not have any classes on Wednesday.

...

Maybe God figured that I was taking advantage of His kindness that's why classes started today?

Ah, well. Ayun. Nag-wholeday kami para magpractice sa bahay ni Kat. Ang saya. Pero parang di kami talaga nag-practice. Naglaro lang kami eh. Naglaro kami ng Truth or Consequence. Hehe! Actually, masaya ako kasi hindi ako masyadong pinagtritripan ng mga classmates ko. Si Pearl ang kawawa kasi binomba siya ng mga tanong tungkol sa kanyang lovelife. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Tapos, ang tagal bago ako nakauwi! Imagine, we left Kat's house at 4:30 tapos dumating ako sa bahay 6:00! And it's all becasue they're repairing the road! Gooooosh! I barely managed to watch Yakitate! Japan! Shigeru... I miss you na! I miss you and your awesome pink hair, er, intelligence!

On the bright side, I finally got the Yakitate! Japan soundtrack. Waagh! I am addicted to the song Chiisana Uta by Maria. All the other songs are good too. The other song I am recently loving right now is Loop by Maaya Sakamoto. It's not from Yakitate! Japan but rather, from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. Gah! Am I really obssessed with Japanese songs?!!!

Why Do I Have Sore Eyes and Cold Desu?

2006-07-24T14:52:00.000-07:00

No classes today because of harsh weather conditions. GMA must be deliriously happy today because there'll be no one who would dare rally when she's doing her SONA because of the weather.

Paggising ko, nangangati na yung left eye ko. Pagtingin ko sa salamin, I was like "whaaaaatebayo???!" because I have a sore left eye! But not sore-sore eyes. Just red sore-like eyes. Come to think of it, I never had sore eyes. Just sore-y eyes. Yeah. And I keep on sneezing! Yikes.

And when I watched the Asian version of "Breaking Free," I was majorly disappointed. Ewan, basta. The only thing I liked in the video was the collaboration of different artists from different countries and Nikki Gil's shiny hair.

And nakuha na namin ang padala ni Mommy! YAY! She sent us the portable DVD player, depite our protests na wag na lang. Hmm, guess I'll have to learn how to operate that one, ne? And she also sent me that smexy perfume by Yver Roches. It's called "Commo Une EVIDENCE." I love the smell pero ayaw ni Jovelle. We have different tastes in perfumes it seems. She commented that I would reek eveytime I'll use the said perfume. I told her to mind her own business.

And what's this? Pinadala rin kami ni Mommy ng tig-1000 each! OMG! Napakadami na nitong biyaya! At ang 1000 pesos ko...Naku, delikado. I am all too aware of my "spending habits" at alam kong kung meron akong hawak ng pera at nasa kahit anong lugar na mayroon akong mapagbibilhan... Patay.

Well, thanks Mommy! Labyu very muchie! Hehe!

New Layout... Huzzah

2006-07-23T05:00:00.000-07:00

Look and watch as your retinas burn. I have a new layout. Featuring ME.

Gah. Dapat mas maganda pa dito ang layout with the line thingy pero tinamad ako so I just left it at that. I hate doing such hard work. Harhar.

Having a blog is fun but sometimes when I blog-hop and see other people's works, it makes me envious. Nagiistrike ang inferiority complex ko. The same is true for writings stories in Fanfiction.Net . Ang daming magaling na writers. Why am I feeling this way? This is bad right? Pero di ko mapigilan! Aaagh!!!

Kanina sa prusisyon, biglang umambon. We didn't mind it pero biglang naging HEAVY rainfall. I hate it when it rains and my feet get wet. Nakasandal lang kasi ako eh. Dapat pala nag-rubber na lang ako.

And Ate Lotlot tagged me. Hmm.. The instructions are as follows:

1. The tagged victim has to come up with eight different descriptions of their perfect lover

2. He/she needs to mention the gender of his/her perfect lover.

3. He/she must tag 8 or more people to join this game and leave a comment on their respective sitesannouncing that they have been tagged

4. If tagged for 2nd time, there is no need to post again..

Honest- Obivously! If the guy isn't going to be honest, how can a relationship work?
Understanding- I have my shortcomings too kaya I want my perfect man to accept that and still love me for who I am.
Sweet- Every girl dreams of someone like this. Haha! Kahit na corny...
Has a sense of humor- Mahirap kausapin ang taong pesimistic and gloomy.
Taller than me- Syempre paaa! Ang sagwa naman kung mas matangkd ang babae no!
Can play an instrument- Preferably the guitar. Wala lang.
God-fearing- An absolute MUST. Di pwede mawala ang trait na ito.
I love him- Kung nasa kanya nga ang mga qualities na ito pero di ko naman siya mahal, wala rin right?

And I will tag... everyone who reads this post. LOL!

Grabeh... I can't imagine myself having a boyfriend though. Nyahaha! That will be too damn weird. People all over the world will think "OMG! Hell has frozen over!"

But I NEED him. NOW. Shigeru, save me from the clutches of evil also known as The Periodical Exam.

Oh, and before I forget, I would like to say that Lolo Doy already passed away. He lived a fruitful life here on earth and may his soul rest in peace...

LDW VS. My Shige-kun!

2006-07-22T19:35:00.000-07:00

Lee Dong Wook is here? In the Philippines?! OMG WTFBBQ!

Ahem. Let's not get carried away here. Sure he's cute, tall, has very dreamy eyes, gorgeous hair and a nice smile... but... is he a match for my Kanmuri Shige-kun? Shige-kun has pink hair, can cook and bake, can speak a lot of different languages , is a Harvard graduate at the tender age of 16 and just so adorably cute! What can you say about that?

Well, I'm working out a on new layout featuring me, SARAH! Haha, wala lang. Ginagaya ko lang si Kuzco (of The emperor's New Groove fame) na may pagkanarcisstic. Pero mahirap kasi di ko na idadownload sa ibang mga sites yung layout ko. I just don't understand HTML chuvaness.

Hmm... Wala pa rin sina Nanay. Nasa Pampanga sila eh. Nakakapanibago pag wala sila. I miss them already. =(

May nagtanong sa akin nung Thursday ng isang tanong. One simple quetion. Di ko alam kung ijojoke ko yung aking sagot then laugh maniacally sabay flip sa hair. Kaya lang sineryoso ko yung sagot ko. Sayang. Dapat pala ay tinodo-joke ko para di ako nababagabag ngayon. Para sana, na-annoy na sa siya sa akin.

Hala! Wag ganun!

2006-07-21T18:35:00.000-07:00

"Hala! Wag ganun!"

Nyahaha! Bagong quote ng III-Godliness. Actually, it all started with Christine O'Neal, ang American transfer student namin from Hawaii. Yun yung favorite niyang tagalog phrase and she often uses it in conversations when she has the chance. Yung mga boys, dahil nga pasaway, tried to mock her by copying that phrase and before we knew it, lahat kami ay lagi nang sinasabi ang phrase na ito.

Kanina ay pumunta kami sa laboratory. We copied our lecture #5 while Group 2(who were the assigned cleaners for this week) cleaned the classroom. Pagkatapos nun, sa English, pagdrawing ng part of nature that we want to communicate with ang naging quiz namin that is worth 30 points.

And in Social, because Pearl and Ernest already returned, I thought na magiging kulelat na kami kahit na kami ang nanalo sa group activity yesterday. Expect the unexpected ika nga because we still won! Dapat nga ay instead na 19 points lang kami, dapat ay 21 kaya lang, di nagustuhan ni Sir Albes yung handwriting ni Trisha. Demanding!

Nasiyahan ako nung Filipino, when nasa likod nanaman si Steven (Pardo) katabi si Darryl (Sydeco). Pagakatapos ko gawin yung draft sa sulating sanaysay, nag-usap kaming tatlo tungkol sa mga games. Nagsimula sa Resident Evil tapos Silent Hill tapos sa XIII and ang dami pang mga games chuvaness. Pinagusapan din namin yung mga consoles na maganda. Sinama pa nga namin si G. Solano (the student-teacher) sa usapan namin eh! Sinabi pa nga niya saming tawagin na lang namin siyang "Kuya" para feeling close. Haha!

Next is Geometry. Um... Next!

Sunod ay PEHM. Wah, katuwa. May audition kasi sa school newspaper namin, ang Lyceean, kaya di kami naka-arrive nina Kat at Ernest on time. Pero okie lang naman kasi nagpaalam namin kami kay Ma'am Marquez. So yun. After that, ginawa namin yung art namin na stained glass. Ang tagal ko nga lang pero at least, naka-8 out of 10 points naman ako. After that, sumayaw na kami. Gustong-gusto ko talaga ang Don Romantiko!

Grabe, ang dami ko na palang na-type! Baka madelete nanaman tulad ng kahapon... Hala! wag ganun!

It Got Deleted!!!

2006-07-20T20:10:00.000-07:00

I spent almost FIFTEEN freaking minutes typing my original post and when I was trying to connect to the internet...BOOM! It all vanished and got deleted.

It makes me sooooo annoyed.

The only thing keeping me sane are the delicious Chips Delight cookies I am currently eating. *greedily stuffs a mouthful*

Nag-type ako about my friend's problem with her lovelife, my relief na di na ako kasama sa Student Council, my life as a 3rd yead student, ang aking frustrations sa pagiging amateur writer, the laugh trips I shared with my pazaway classmates for the past few days and a few other things inserted in between. May mga quotes-quotes pa nga akong nalalaman.

It was a long post twice as long as this one. Tamad na akong magsulat pa so I'll just post these uber-kawaii 100x100 icons of my new labidabs... Kanmuri Shigeru! Hehe.

It's The Day

2006-07-18T18:26:00.000-07:00

Eeep! I'm so sleepy. Haha. 75% of my brain is already sleepy so forgive me for this yet again senseless and stupid post.

Between getting DSL or a new cellphone, I choose the former. Why? Because I'm not a ma-cellphone person. Really! 300 pesos load can last a whole month with me, something that my friends find amazing.

We had our test in Trigonometry. I think I'll pass. Sweet.

I'm trying to write my own poems. Usually, writing one would take me about 10 minutes. In our Chemistry subject a while ago, instead of listening to Mrs. Javaluyas, I was making 2 poems. The first one's title is "Nightmare of Nightmares" while the other one is "Breaking Free." It's not that good, considering that I made it on a whim. Add to that the fact that I was arguing with Luzon while writing my poem while listening to Mrs. Javaluyas while revising my draft in English and you've got multi-tasking like whoa.

And the poem "Breaking Free" was based on the song "Breaking Free" (obviously!) from High School Musical.

The Black Eyes Peas and The Pussycat Dolls would perform back to back on Araneta next week and I'm depressed that I can't go and watch. Well, that's life.

*Shigeru! I love you!!! Kyaaa!*

What I've Been looking For

2006-07-17T17:19:00.000-07:00

What I've Been Looking For

[Ryan:]

It's hard to believe

That I couldn't see

[Together:]

You were always there beside me

Thought I was alone

With no one to hold

But you were always right beside me

[Sharpay:]

This feeling's like no other

[Together:]

I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do

the way you do

I've never had somone as good for me as you

no one like you
So lonely before I finally found

what I've been looking for

[Sharpay:]

So good to be seen

So good to be heard

[Together:]

Don't have to say a word

[Ryan:]

For so long I was lost

So good to be found

[Together:]

I'm loving having you around

[Ryan:]

This feeling's like no other

[Together:]

I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do

The way you do

I've never had someone as good for me as you

No one like you

So lonely before, I finally found

what I've been looking for

[Together:]

Doo Doo DooDoo

Doo Doo DooDooDo Do

Woa-ah-ah-oh

Haha, a useless post I know. I'm still fascinated with the number of people who are reviewing my story in Fanfiction.Net. Oo nga pala, Happy Birthday Angel! Aylabshu!

Finally

2006-07-14T18:40:00.000-07:00

Ngik! Ngayon lang ako nakapag-establish ng connection! I was trying oh-so-hard yesterday but my computer kept on playing dead. Grr...

Haaay! Medyo OK rin naman ang araw na ito. Akalain ninyo ba naman, 30/30 sa Trigo. Nice. Pero ang masaklap sa lahat... drum roll please... Geometry! Akala ko makukuha ko na pero nagkamali ako! I'm super depressed. I may fail in this subject. Wag naman po sana.

At lumalawak na rin ang family ko! Kambal ko si Kat, mommy ko si Astrid, tita ko sa Ate Angeli, pinsan ko sina Karisha't VC, cousin-cousin ko si Malic tapos ninong ko pa si Acosta! Haha! Family zoo? Pwedeh!

"Want to know if the boy you like likes you back? Offer him two cupcakes and ask him to pick one. If he chooses to get the one with less icing, then that means that he likes you!"

A good friend of mine shared this story to me. Ewan ko nga lang kung totoo. Want to test it out?

No Classes! BooyaH!

2006-07-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

Oh lookie, class is suspended! YAY!

Pero bad trip kasi 10:00 pa kami pinalabas. At dahil nga sa weather conditions tsaka sa school's note to parent na maaga kaming lalabas, di kami pwedeng gumala. That means no going to Mall of Asia. Bummer.

On the plus side, wala kaming test sa Geometry! (But it'll be moved tomorrow)

Oo nga pala. Kanina ay nag-arrive ako sa school ng mga 5:20. Wala pang katao-tao maliban na lang kay Mang Guard! First time yon in hsitory ah! Super dilim and nung kinukuha ko na yung gamit ko sa locker, wala akong makita. Takot na takot na ako pero I have no choice but to stay inside the classroom. After about 10 minutes, dumating si Vince Cruz! Grabe, baka nayakap ko na yun kung di lang siya lalaki. Tapos nagsulputan na ang iba. I was so relieved!

Anna, sa Monday ba tayo manonoood ng Pirates of the Caribbean?

Oh damn

2006-07-11T18:45:00.000-07:00

Kung ang pera ay di nanggaling sa tree, bakit ang mga bangko may branches?

Kung according to the law, bawal magdrive ang taong lasing, bakit may parking lot sa mga drinking bars?

If I was born to help others, ano naman ang silbi ng others para sa akin?

Che, you are one crazy girl. Ang daming mga pointless "pilosopong-tasyo" questions ni Che kanina. It made my brain hurt, and at the same time, made me laugh.

I had my, ehem, monthly visitor kanina. Buti na lang ay handa ako. Kaya nung sumakit na yung puson ko, alam kong magiging "protected " pa ako for at least 2 hours. Tapos, kelangan ng magpalit. Haha!

Trigonometry is so fun when I have my "bestfriend" Ernest around. Ang kulit niya! At pag may isang "Mikee Lee" ka sa tabi mo, syempre dapat ma-gets mo na ang math. Sana man lang ay walang magalit sa akin diyan. *wink* *wink* Kilala mo na ang sarili mo. We're just friends! Haha!

Kung masaya ang Trigo, Geometry naman ang mahirap. For the life of me, I couldn't understand those number relationships and whatchamacallits. Gaagh. It made my eyebags grow larger and wrinkles appear more prominent. On top of that, test pa namin bukas!

As if that isn't enough, mayroon rin kaming quiz sa Chem at ako na ang magrereport tungkol sa Neanderthal Man tomorrow. The heavens must be pulling a fast one on me.

Good luck, Yuan Xian Rui (my Chinese name). You're gonna need it.

Lalala!

Crap. After typing this post, my computer went all crazy-crazy with me and decided to freeze. I had to restart and rewrite the whole thing.

Oh, and about some parts of the post I made yesterday, just please ignore it. Again, my brain malfunctioned from thinking overload and I was forced to write stupid things without a good judgement to base it from.

Alrighty.

Guys, do you remember me telling you that I'm currently addicted with the doll fever? Well, I changed my mind. Now it's Power Pets! I know that Neopets is better but I can't play it, not with my comp's crappy 16.8 kbsp internet speed and all. And there you are! Haha! My pet's a red fox and I named him Blurfie. Go go go!

In the real world, Kat and I already have our lockers! Yipee! Now we don't have to carry our oversized backpacks like some kind of balikbyan or maglalayas anymore.

I don't know why but I feel infectiously happy today. Parang gusto kong... kumanta! Tralalala! Lalalalaaaaaaa!!! *sounds of windows breaking, vases crushing, and mirrors shattering* Oops.

The Talents I Could Never Have

Sarah is a naughty kid who didn't go to church today and instead went to SM. Tsk, tsk, tsk. A truly bad example to the youth of today.

But I've got a good reason! May sakit si Jovelle kaya ayokong pumunta ng mag-isa! At kung bakit ako pumuntang SM, yun ay dahil kelangan kong bumili ng black ink para sa printer. See? I'm not naughty!

Well, anyway, kanina ay binukasan ko ang bagong story ko sa Fanfiction.Net at tuwang-tuwa ako nung nakita ko na first day pa lang pagakatapos ko i-publish ang story ay 9 na ang reviews ko! Yosh! I'll promise to work hard! Fight-o, sarafu-chan! (BTW, sarafu-chan is my user name in Fanfiction.)

Speaking of addiction, nakakaaddict na rin ang paggawa ng dolls. Haha. Ito ang mga ginawa ko:

Favorite ko yung last one. Isn't it nice? (Liars go to hell so say that it's the nicest thing you've ever seen. Hehe...!)

I just watched Love Spell, featuring Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson. It was great! Akala ko pangit ang kakalabasan dahil amateur pa lang sina Ate Kim pagdating sa acting but I was proven wrong. Gerald was hot! I woul've liked it even more if Mikee was Ate Kim's partner but he's better off studying in Ateneo. Iskolar ng bayan yan, not showbiz-material.

Speaking of Ate Kim, nakakainsecure talaga siya. Idol ko nga siya pero naiinggit naman ako sa kanya. Weird no? Wala lang. Kasi, aside from being pretty and smart, she has a lot of talents. Imagine speaking in 5 different languages. Ang lupit! Ang galing pa niya kumanta at sumayaw. Napakaperfect niya.

In Values Education, we were taught that God gave each of us different talents and that each of us is unique. There is no perfect person in this world, and everyone has weaknesses or flaws.

Pero talagang naiinis ako sa sarili ko! I feel super inferior, being ordinary without any talents. Nabasa ko sa isang poem ni Shakespeare na when you feel down daw, think of your loved ones. I'm thinking of them, but I still feel kinda useless and without any worth.

Sigh. I'm so damn pathetic.

(PS: I want to buy the CD of High School Musical! I'm still stuck in the HSM fever!!!)

(PS 2: I ate some garlic bread again! And also some California Maki! I wanna eat some more! Waagh! *bawls*)

(PS 3: Congratulations to my cousin CJ for a successful concert in SM Valenzuela!)

Movie Time!

I just ate some cookies. Let me tell you, cookies and HOT iced tea just don't mix.

I watched Maalaala Mo Kaya last night. Heh. Jiro Manio was great. Didn't he play a gay role in Manay Ko Po too? I'm sensing a pattern here... Still, after watching him on TV, I knew I was in love. Pero si Yael pa rin ang No. 1! Haha!

Watch out, 'maties! Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is coming! Olrayt! Me thinks that something will turn Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) against Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and that something will involve Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). Pero dahil pulubi ako, baka hindi ko to mapanood sa sine. Sadness.

Speaking of movies, I just watched The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Ngayon ko lang napanood. Haha! But the movie was good! Eveything was perfect-o! I especially liked the inner conflict Leo's character was experiencing all throughout the movie. Frankly speaking, The Aviator is almost as good as Titanic, the mega-movie that made Leo a big international star.

Why am I talking like some kind of movie buff hotshot? Just because. Tee hee! That's all for now. Ciao!
