You've already captured me.

Fine mag-uupdate na ako. Haha.

May 23 (Wednesday)
Happy 6th month! ♥
Happy Birthday, Sanna! Sorry I missed your party.

It was first day of classes and I was late! I guess my mind is really still on vacation O_O

May 24 (Thursday)
I made sure that I wasn't (HAHA) late anymore.
I found out that my Anmath2 (Analytical Math 2/Calculus) professor is... Ms. Anita Ong >_< Haaaaaaaay! Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, Ms. Ong is the scariest professor we've had as far as Mathematics is concerned. Hindi siya masungit and all that, but her exams are scary! Eh hello, the subject is scary in itself na tapos madadagdagan pa ng professor na kinacareer ang paggawa ng written exams. She was my professor in ALGTRIG (Algebra/Trigonometry) back in first year, first term. I think she failed half (or was it more?) of the students she handled for that subject. And now.. she's back! That only leads to one sure thing: Anmath2 take two. Geez, I certainly hope NOT.

P.S. I have heard stories from the upper class men that at the beginning of the term when the students find out that their Mathematics professor is Ms. Ong, the class immediately gets dissolved. Why? Because students either drop the subject or adjust to another class. O_O Yung samin kaya madissolve rin?

May 25 (Friday)
After my classes, sinamahan ko si Jay na magenroll sa ENGLRES namin para meron naman kaming kahit isang subject na magkaklase. Unfortunately hindi pa namin napapaprint yung revised EAF niya kaya hindi kami nabigyan agad ng number kasi kailangan ipresent yung EAF and ID. So pumila ulit ako habang pinaprint nya yung EAF niya. Tas dun ko naisip yung dapat na ginawa namin kanina pa: EAF at ID ko dapat yung pinakita namin! Grrr badtrip nun ko lang naisip. Wala pa siya so ganun yung ginawa ko. 88 yung nakuha ko. Badtrip dapat less than 50 kami eeehhhh! >_< Oh well. Hinintay ko na lang siya. Pagdating niya, kumuha rin pala siya ng number kasi akala niya hindi ako kumuha ng number. 99 yung nakuha niya. So yung number na nakuha ko yung ginamit namin. Ang tagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal. Ang init pa naman sa Gox lobby lalo na ngayon kasi under renovation pa yung kalahati. Hinintay namin na tawagin kami only to find out na wala nang slot. Malamang, eh 88 ba naman yung number namin eh. Sayang talaga :(

May 26 (Saturday)
Sinundo ako ni Jay sa bahay. Sinamahan niya ko sa school para magpaphotocopy nung chapter 1 ng reference book for INTROAI (Introduction to Artificial Intelligence). And then balik sa bahay at nagturuan magPhotoshop. LOL!

May 27 (Sunday)
Happy Birthday, Junel!
Church.
Christ's Ambassadors :)

TODAY
I don't want to talk about today. >______<

Jayjay, I love you. ♥



Friday, May 25, 2007

It was forty minutes after five. The rain was gently pouring and the soiled streets were starting to get a little swampy. I was holding my brown jacket, slightly damp from the raindrops and much crumpled out of my choky grip. There was not a single trace of the wind anywhere for I have been sweating a lot, as well as the person beside me.

It was forty minutes after five. You know how I've always said that regret is such a horrible word and should never be used by anyone? Well I guess at some point, you have to. In that still moment, forty minutes after five, I felt regretful. Regretful about a lot of things I did. Regretful about a lot of words I said.

It was forty minutes after five. I wiped the beads of sweat forming on my nose and forehead. I tried to make a fan out of my handkerchief, by waving it back and forth towards my face. Fortunately, I was able to create a little amount of air. However the cold feeling and relief that my "fan" has been giving me did not take any of the things that I wished it would. Sadness. Sorrow. Remorse.

It was forty minutes after five. I picked up my bag and held onto my jacket even tighter. I looked at the person next to me and quickly looked away. I stood up, got off the jeepney and stepped on the ground.

Today, forty minutes after five, with my brown jacket clenched in my hands and chunks of mud sticking to my slippers, I fought back the tears that are clouding my eyes.

Baaaaaaaaack :D

I'm back, I'm back!

Pahiyas was fuuuuuuun! We stayed at Lucban for 2 days. And I loved it. I love Lucban! The last time I've been there was when I was 7 years old which is like.. a decade ago. Oh my, for a second there I realized how old(huhuhu) I was. AnywayAnywayAnyway. Even though that was a long time ago, I still had a vague memory of it in the back of my head. And when we came back, it was still the same. The place, the people, the super fresh air.. Nothing changed! The serenity and beauty of the Pahiyas Festival was preserved. Aside from the huge mob trying to take photos of the stunning displays of the Pahiyas Festival, everything else was LOVE.

I failed to camwhore though, because I still don't have the budget (Who am I kidding? I don't have anything to budget!) to buy a memory card. Major BOO.

I so love Lucban! Maybe in the future, I would want to have a place of my own there. Weeeeee! It thrills me just thinking about it. Hehehe.. Okay, I'll stop now. :)
------------------------

This is my pahabol Mother's Day entry. Hahaha. :P

Mom, I just want to tell you the things that I thank you for:

1. You're the only person who has been ever so true to me. You tell me straight if I look beautiful or not. You don't sugar-coat words just to make me feel better. You want to be completely honest about things, even when it's ugly. ESPECIALLY when it's ugly.

2. You give me enough privacy. You don't leave me alone but you make sure that I can be on my own.

3. You give me your trust. You know that I am growing up and you recognize the things that come with it. You let me budget my money. You gave me a copy of the house keys. And you don't read my cellphone messages (anymore LOL). But I still haven't earned your trust when it comes to cooking, though. LOL

4. I cry when you cry, you cry when I cry. What can I say, we are soooooo connected!

5. You love my boyfriend, and he loves you back! :D

God must reeeeeeeaaaaaaaally love me when He made you my mom! :D

MAMA KO :D

Happy Mother's Day, MAMA!
I love you so big!

OFF TO LUCBAN FOR THE PAHIYAS FESTIVAL.
BE BACK ON THE 16TH.



Monday, May 14, 2007
I wish I'm eighteen.

Hurried to grow up? Partly. Hey, don't get me wrong! I still think like a 5-year-old most of the time and if there really is a Never Land, I would gladly migrate there to stay in my youth forever. But then, there's still a part of me that wishes I am older -- old enough to gain my own right of suffrage. Yes, with all the hype and drama that has been going on in our country because of the national campaign, there's a part of me that wants to be involved. To be heard. To vote.

A few days ago, my mom showed me her sample ballot. I took a close look at the names she wrote, especially those of the senatorial candidates. And as I read each name, it made me want to have my right to vote as well.

Over the past months, the people who are running for a certain political seat have been bombarding us with posters, flyers, tv ads, and all the other paraphernalia they could think of to be recognized and known. They spend an enormous amount of money in campaigning so that people would remember who they are, and hopefully would vote for them in the upcoming May 14 elections. I would like to share something that had happened a few days ago. While I was on our way home from Bulacan (Youth Camp '07), we stopped over at a local store to buy drinks for the loooooong drive home. And then a person there gave us free candies, which has the face of a certain candidate (for mayor, I think) plastered on the candy wrapper. I found that experience rather funny, because aside from the fact that most of us cannot vote yet, we're not even citizens of Bulacan. They practically just give out those candies to every person who buys at their store.

But is the real essence of being a leader measured by those posters, tv ads, flyers, campaign jingles, motorcades, or even candies? Is it a basis for choosing who to vote? Sadly, this might be true for some most of the voters. They vote for a certain political candidate because his/her face is glued all over the streets of their town. Or because he/she is all they see on TV commericals. Or because they always hear his/her campaign jingle and watch his/her supporters wave at them during motorcades. Or because he/she is being endorsed by their favorite celebrity. I could go on and on with these reasons and I think I wouldn't run out, and it's such a shame.

If you can relate with these reasons, then I suggest that you don't vote anymore because you're practically putting one vote to waste.

I am no genius in politics and I definitely have very little interest in it. But for the past seventeen years of my existence, I have seen a lot of people, especially young children, suffer because the people in authority are not doing anything to help them. These children did not even vote for these leaders and yet they are suffering the consequences.

THINK ABOUT IT. Time for a change, right?

Yesterday, my mom made another sample ballot and showed it to me. I noticed that from her previous list of 12 senatorial candidates, she now wrote 9. I stared closely at each name and I smiled. I think her sample ballot is better than what she had made before. :)

TO ALL THE VOTERS: Give a lot of thought on who to vote. Don't pick random names just for the sake of completing an entire list of senators or members of the city council or whatever. Vote only for the people who you think justifies the position he/she is running for. It is not necessary to complete it, especially if you can't think of other deserving candidates anymore. Just cross the remaining blanks out, so that no extra hands could write in there. Okidoki? :)
With that, I say GOOD LUCK!

OKAY, RANTING OVER. BACK TO BEING A 5-YEAR-OLD BRAT AGAIN. NYAHAHAHAAAAA!



Saturday, May 12, 2007
Hold me close, cos I need you to guide me to safety.

Just a bunch of randomness! :)

1. Jay was here a while ago. He took care of me and stayed with me because I'm sick. Well, not sick sick. I don't have a fever but I seem to get easily cold. Kapag matagal akong nagsstay sa isang airconditioned room, giniginaw ako tapos sumasama yung pakiramdam ko. It's weird nga eh kasi I used to stay in my room the entire day with the aircon on. But now, hindi kami makapag-aircon sa bahay kasi sumasama yung pakiramdam ko. Haaayy. I don't know what's happening to me but I hope it's nothing too serious. Well anyway, he stayed with me until 6pm.

2. ON A LIGHTER NOTE, I watched Project Runway last Wednesday night and it was the final episode. It determined which among Michael, Laura, Uli and Jeffrey (my two favorites!) would be the final 3 who would go to present their collection in Olympus Fashion Week. I had a hard time guessing which one of them would be out because they are all very different from the other. Each one of them has his/her own style and it would be great to see all of it on fashion week. I didn't who's gonna be out. I just wished that my bets wouldn't be sent home. LOL. I wasn't disappointed because the judges decided to keep all of them! All four of them (including Uli and Jeffrey :D) will be presenting their collection on fashion week. Yeeeyy! :) Damn it, I'm such a fan. LOL!

3. I was browsing YouTube for dominos. Okay, it sounds totally weird but hey, ONE, dominos are really fun to watch; and TWO, uhm, okay I admit it. I'm weird. LOL! Well anyway, I found a really cool video which involves dominos(DUH!) and billiards. Maybe it was edited or something but I was amazed. Check it out:



4.
Happy 18th Birhtday to the Proud Indio, Kenneth Carsula! :)
You have grown soooo much (and I also mean that literally!) since I first met you which was like.. err, kinder? LOL! Well anyway, I hope you had a very meaningful birthday. Godbless! :)





Friday, May 11, 2007
Look at this!



This is what Jay this morning out of boredom during his Kaspil1 class. But that's not only it. There's more. LOL! Click the image. Go, click it! Notice what the drawing is made of. Awwwwwwwww, right? That boy is such a sweetie! ♥

I'm not feeling well today. Giniginaw ako tas masama yung pakiramdam ko. Nakakatuwa cos Jay kept hugging me and tucking me under the comforter to keep me warm. He had to leave na cos it was getting late. When he got home. He immediately checked on how I was feeling. This is part of our text conversations:

Ako: Thank you kanina ha.
Jay: I'm glad it worked. Haha ano ka ba. Hindi pa alaga yun. Pag nag-alaga ako walang tulugan. Punasan all night. Hahaha. :)
Ako: Talaga? Babantayan mo ako magdamag?
Jay: Opo. Kung kaya kong magstay up ng walang ginagawa eh pano pa kaya kung ginagawa ko yung gustung-gusto kong ginagawa. :)


YUN YUN EH. ♥ ♥ ♥

Nilalagay ang Fissan sa paa para mabulag ang fungi.

May 6

Halos hindi ako nakapagpahinga pagkagaling sa camp at debut at family dinner kasi magsswimming daw. Mga 7am gumising ako dahil sisimba kami ng 8am. pumunta na kaming Club Manila East. Nandun na yung mga pinsan ko. Pagdating namin dun, wala nang available na Cabana or Hut. Puno na lahat. So nagvilla kami. LOL! Buti na lang pala puno na lahat kasi mas maganda sa villa eh! So nagswimming na yung mga pinsan ko. Tapos si Daddy at Mama, nanuod ng De La Hoya-Mayweather. Ako naman.. chenen! Nagtulog. Nagtulog nang nagtulog. LOL Gumising lang ako para kumain tapos natulog ulit tapos gumising para magbihis na paalis. HAHA! Pagkatapos nun, dinner at Max's and then uwi na by 9pm.

May 7

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY SARAH!!
I miss you so much! Sana makapagdate naman tayo. :)
I LOVE YOU, SIS! *HUG!*


Dad left for a business meeting in HongKong for 2 days. Tapos sa Vietnam naman to continue his work for a month or so. I woke up mga 11am. Naligo ako tapos Jay went here. I missed him!! Ngayon lang kami nagkita as in kita kasi naman nangangarag kami nung debut ni Sarah. Haha. So ayun, bonding bonding. Namiss ko yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

May 8

Mom and I went to Makati Med for her blood test and yung check up ko for my injury. The doctor said I had to undergo x-ray on my right ankle just to make sure that the bones are aligned properly. So yun. The results will be available on Thursday(May 10).

Had lunch, and went home. Tapos pinag-awayan namin ni Jay kung crab o lobster si Sebastian. Crab naman talaga dibaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? HAHAHA!

May 9

I just stayed home. Jay went here and brought Mom(!) a pizza. LOL He ate lunch here and insisted to help me wash the dishes. Nag-aaksaya daw ako ng tubig kasi masyadong malakas.

Jay: *hininaan yung gripo* Pwede namang ganito lang kahina eh!
Ako: *nilakasan yung gripo* Ganito dapat!
Jay: Sayang yung tubig.
Ako: Hindi, tama lang yan para magulat yung mga sabon sa plato at malaglag sa lababo.
Jay: *natawa* Hanep ah! Parang kapag may sakit ka dapat uminom ka ng mainit na tubig para mapaso yung germs at mamatay.
Ako: Oo ganun na nga!
ANG SABAAAAAAAW. :D Ayun tapos nagstay siya hanggang 6:30pm. Wala lang. Kinakantahan ko siya ng kung anu-ano. Gulat na gulat siya nung kumanta ako ng isang Korean song. LOL!

And then we had one of the truest talks ever. It made me realize how much he really means to me. <3

That's it. Project Runway mode. Bye!

C4 ka ba?

NOTE: THIS IS A LONG ENTRY. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. LOL

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I am so glad and thankful to God that I got back home safely. The camp was one heck of an experience. I would not write anymore what happened but rather, I want to share to you what I have learned:

1. There is enough God to carry on. When you have nothing and no one to count on but God, don't pity yourself because God is enough. He is more than enough to carry on.

2. I am so not athletic, and my body is uber sensitive. Just minor accidents can cause my body major bruises and injuries. I had a few but huge(!) dark stains on my body, especially my legs. I hate it.

3. I survived without any help of advanced technology for 3 days. Just electric fan! I am so proud! :D It's just too bad that I didn't get to take pictures. Oh well.

4. I got to interact and socialize with people my age who are ALL Born Again Christians. It's nice to be in a place filled with people who has the same desire and hunger for the Lord as you do.

5. I missed my family. I missed Jay. Being away from them is unbearable but at the same time fulfilling. It was an opportunity to prove what I am really capable of doing. By myself. Alone. Independently.

6. The people from other churches are VERY friendly. They did not leave me out even though I'm the only one from Pasig in the group. Go flock Joseph! I love you guys! If it weren't for my injury, we would not have won! LOL

7. C4. Commitment to Christ. Commitment to Church. Commitment to Leaders. Commitment to Mission.

8. I missed the food at home! Okay, call me maarte but it was the first time I skipped meals because I couldn't eat the food. >___<

-----------------

May 5, 2007(Saturday)

It was Sarah's 18th birthday and I was invited. And let me tell you, it was a big fat struggle to get there. LOL! Seriously. Why? Okay here goes. See, that day was also the last day of the camp. We left Bulacan at 2:30pm. Dahil sa major traffic, I arrived home at 6:30pm. And the party starts at 6:00pm. So kumusta ka? Daig ko pa yung debutante sa pagiging late. LOL

At hindi lang yon. I still don't know how to get to the party! Habang naliligo ako, iniisip ko kung paano ako makakapunta dun. HAHA. My dad offered to take me there.. BUT! (Yep, there's a HUGE but) I'm bringing Jay with me to the party. I just don't know how. Why? Flashback: Hindi alam ng dad ko na may nag-eexist na Jay a.k.a boyfriend ko. AMF. Total panicness(!!!).

That same night, there would be a family dinner because it's my grandparents' (dad's side) 51st wedding anniversary. That means Dad can't take me there rin pala. So Mom called Jay up and told him to pick me up and take me to the party. I didn't know what to think. Bahala na, was all I could say. A few minutes after I took a bath, Jay was already at our door. My mom let him in while I was getting dressed. My dad went to the living room, where Jay was, and I didn't know what happened. LOL There wasn't any introduction.

I know Jay was soooo nervous. Naawa nga ako kasi he was all alone sa living room... with my dad. AMF. I couldn't imagine how he felt that time. I hurriedly got ready para makaalis na. And to my surprise, Dad called the cab for us. When we were in the cab na, I hugged him tight. Aside from the fact that I didn't see him for 3 days, he got the courage to sit in the living room. With my Dad. Without me. Thank God no interrogations occurred. LOL

When we arrived at the debut, there were already lots of people. I saw a lot of PCU friends who seemed so surprised to see me there. It's been a while na rin kasi since I last saw them. I saw the birthday girl and she's prettier than ever! She seemed happy and thrilled to see me there. She thought I wasn't going to make it kasi super late ako. Haha. Seeing her happy made all the struggle worth it. :) Eto pa pala. Akala ko simple dinner and gathering lang. Aba, may mini program at kasama ako! Napa-impromptu speech tuloy ako nang di oras. Haha. But it's okay, para kay Sarah naman eh. I love you so much, Sis! *HUG!*

After the program, nagpaalam na ako kay Sarah. I needed to make it to the family dinner. Kakahiya, late ako dumating tas ang aga ko umalis. Haha. Sorry Sis. Bawi na lang ako next time. Jay and I rode a cab papuntang Greenbelt. Balak pa sana namin mamasyal kasi medyo hindi pa ako tinatawagan ng mom ko. But then pagdating namin ng Greenbelt, my mom called. Bummer. I needed to get there na daw. So Jay and I took a cab papuntang Harbour Square. Tas dun na kami naghiwalay. Thank you honey for being with me that night and putting up with all the hassle that it brought you. I love you!

When I arrived, they were having dessert at Pancake House. I was so tired and my eyes are so heavy. All I wanted was to take a big fat rest from the big fat struggles that the day has given me. LOL But I enjoyed it so it's all good. After dessert, we had a family picture and then headed home. Alas, I missed my bed! LOL

Anyway, that's it. Sorry for the long entry. Goodnight!




Thursday, May 3, 2007
I'm going camping! :)

Apparently, almost all the people I've talked to who have already watched Spiderman 3, said that they liked it. How come I didn't? Is there something wrong with me? LOL Cos I thought that Venom guy was too funny. I mean he's supposed to be muscular and monstrous, or at least scary, right? He's funny ugly, not scary ugly. And I didn't like what happened to him at the end.

When we saw Peter Parker in his "evil" self, the first thing Jay and I noticed was his hair. Hello, emo boy! Haha. I mean seriously, does he really have to wear his hair like that? And the moves, man. The moves! It was the bomb! LOL Sorry, I just loooove Peter Parker so much more when he's a dork. :)

However, the action was very good. It became more intense. Kudos to that. And Kirsten Dunst is hot! Hahaha! The graphics were superb, too. Okay, that's the programmer in me talking already. LOL

I suggest to just see it for yourself.

Anyway, enough about the Spidey sensation. I'll be gone tomorrow until Saturday for our youth camp. Assembly time is 4:30-5:00am (!). How the hell am I going to get enough sleep when I still HAVE to watch Project Runway later at 10:00pm? LOL!

I'm currently watching Mika's new video, Love Today on MTV. He's so adorably gaaaaaaay! LOL! I love him! :)

Okay, I'm gonna continue packing. I'll see you guys on Sunday, or maybe next week! BYE!

P.S. I miss Jay. :(



Wednesday, May 2, 2007
There are only two things..

..that I liked about this day.

ONE, I watched a movie with Jay.

and TWO, I ran into Sarah after watching the movie.

Other than that, everything else sucked big time. Don't ask.



P.S. Am I the only one who didn't like Spiderman 3?

EATING CHARLIE AND THE CHOCNUT FACTORY SLASH CAMWHORING SLASH COROLING THE COROLING BOOK WITH JAY WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY. ♥
--------------------------------------
When I went home, I took a nap and then Mom woke me up at about 7:00 pm. We (Mom, Dad, Tita Becks, Tita Leah, Tito Gerry, Gazelle, Ruby, and I) went to Cafe Astoria where our churchmate Kuya Larry works as a singer. We ate there and watched him perform. It was nice. The place was too formal and sosyal though. Something that I have a hard time being. LOL. Anyway, it has a very serene and calm ambiance. It's nice. We got home at 11:00 pm. Anyhoo, gotta go. BYE!



Tilt your head.
