I LOVE SUNDAYS. :)
Am currently listening to Bonnie Bailey's Kingdom of Pretty. Nice song. Pati My Love by JT. MAY NAAALALA AKO. Hmmm. Sino kaya?
A while ago I attended my cousin's kumpil. It's awful when they (the Church) do not abide by the set time (sorry God). AYOKO TALAGA SA MGA LATE. Well, depende pala.
I woke up feeling a little heavy this morning. I dreamt of a friend who, knock on wood, passed away. Then this y-message somehow, ALMOST, made it seem real. Sana wag mong gagawin yun dahil MAHAL KA NAMIN.
Am currently reading Bob Ong's Stainless Longganisa. Funny potek! Pang-alis ng kalungkutan. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. <--exagg.
Hay nako. Jay friend. She keeps on matching songs with the wrong artists! Ayayay! Tama ba naman 'to:
I'll Never Get Over You--SELENA
Okay. Kelan pa naging TATLO si Selena? Oo alam ko may second voice effect pero naman! May panahon ng pagpipilosopo ano? LOL. EXPOSE EXPOSE EXPOSE ang kumanta niyan!!! OKAY?
Leaving on a Jet Plane--BJORK.
Takte. Hindi WEIRD na kanta ang Leaving on a Jet Plane. Oo mahirap i-pronounce ung artist nyan--si CHANTAL KREVIAZUK, pero hinding hindi pwedeng si Bjork kumanta nyan! sa mga umaandar na trak lang makikita si Bjork!
Five Years--Sugar Hiccups.
HICCUP lang! Takte. Tama na sana, pumlural naman. ayayay! Wag mong isisi ang mga pagkakamaling yan sa internet dahil kahit mali pa yan, kung alam mo, eh alam mo! haha!! Wag tayong JumAY!!!
There. GTG (nyak.). EATING TIME!!!

Apart from Manny Pacquiao's winning the boxing match with El Terible Morales (now you get the morale, Morales. bwahaha! sad you. The lesson is, IT'S BETTER TO PAY FOR THE OVERWEIGHT PENALTY THAN TO LOSE. lol.), Sunday was a blast! This was the first time I ever obtained a 17 something AHT! whoa! kidding aside, my real goal was to lower down the AHT but goodness gracious, the opposite happened! Thank God, though, I LOVE Sundays. :)
Master's Inc had a get-together as well, at the Krocodile Grill, Greenbelt, that is. I missed Joi! WOW BIGTIME NA! Iba na pag napromote! Bilis grabe! :) There was Apple, Gwenie, Master, Nicoleness, Zah, Mic, Presly, Abbie, Joyce, Mat Mat, Joni, AND Abcd. Ayun lang. Sila lang. bwahaha. JOKE.
Apple: Wow. Leche Flan lover ka pala. HINDI NAMAN OBVIOUS kasi naka-3 ka lang na servings. haha! Glutton!!! :D
Gwenie: kunyare ka pang ayaw mong sumunod. Kaw na nga tinawagan at pinagmakawaan! haha! Belated Gwendolyn!! :)
Master: LTNS. Akala namin i-Indian-in mo na kami. :D
Nicoleness: "Guys. make sure na nandun na kayo by 7.15pm or else they'll cancel the reservation." SINO KAYA ANG LATE NG 2 HOURS? :D
Zah: ang korni talaga. Nag EAT-AND-RUN ka lang! LOL.
Mic: I love your phone!!! waaaaaaaah...
Presly: kamusta naman sa nabasag na baso. LOL.
Abbie: ang bango talaga ng pabango mo! (sana hindi na hihirit ang Abcd <-- hindi tao. lol. ng "malamang. dahil kung mabaho un ay hindi na pabango ang tawag dun kundi pabaho." hay.)
Joyce: parang may sariling mundo sila nina Abbie at Presly. Sana naman hindi silang 3 pa rin ang nagsasama dahil kayo na nga magkakasama sa Option 1 ano?! :p
Mat Mat: pagupit ka na! :D
Joni: one of da boys. haha.
Abcd: DEFGHI... bwahaha. Lech* ka. next time papabitbit ko sa'yo ang sandamakmak na plato at pinggan bahala ka. lol.
Joi: good job! :)
Sayang wala si Ethan. Ang sarap pa naman ng mga pagkain!

One-word titles are most of the time catchy. haha. feeling. I have been spending quite a while playing these not-so-mobile-but-nevertheless-challenging online games--the Vampire and Knight games, so to speak. Wow. kakachallenge talaga. Isang click lang, makikita mo nang talunan ka na pala o kaya'y panalunan (hoooOwat?!) You may wanna try clicking on the links below: http://www.knightfight.co.uk/?ac=vid&vid=63002509 <-- ako ito bilang knight; http://world3.monstersgame.co.uk/?ac=vid&vid=38071869 <-- ako ito bilang bampira. Hindi maipaliwanag ang ligayang nadarama ko kapag nakakasipsip ako ng sandamakmak na dugo ng tao at nakakatalo ng mga masasamang elemento. (yak Popin. ikaw ba yan? parang lumalala.) Nakakainis naman kapag feel na feel mong lumaban sabay sa sobrang ka-eng-engan mo ay natalisod ka pala. Sayang ang 10 minutos. Masaya naman kapag may uto-uto na lalaban sa'yo na ang taas ng level sabay talo. bwahaha! Unbeknownst to them (nosebleed.), may ancestral potion ako. *evil grin*
Nakakahyper talaga ang Basement Jaxx lalu na ang mga unggoy nilang nagtatalunan sa video ng Where's Your Head At na ginamit bilang OST sa palabas na Tomb Raider kung saan ako ang bida . bwahaha! ok. Bilang di pa dumarating ang araw ng sweldo ay naubusan ako ng pambili ng gamot. Blog-hopped through Kechup Girl's and HappyVanny's. Ito ang mga dalagang kasama ko nang muntik na akong malagutan ng hininga sa 7th fooolooor habang bumibili ng lechong kawali na nilagyan pala ng sawsawang kalamansi at toyo (pampataas ng IQ. tara na at lumaklak <-- sabi ni Jay. anu ba yang mga salitang laklak. nakakadegrade. bwahahaha!) na hindi ko naman gusto. gusto ko si Mang Tomas kasi. oo. gusto ko si Tomas ng Unbearable Lightness of Being at ang astig na pagiging salawahan nya pero hindi sya ang tinutukoy kong kapartner supposed to be ng lechong kawali ko. Intiendes? Mukha bang lechon sina Sabina at Tereza? HINDI. Going back, kaya ako muntik nang malagutan ng hininga ay dahil pinatutugtog ang National Anthem ni Vani na "Stars are Blind" by Paris Hilton, idol naman ni Gwenie. haha! Ang jojologs ninyo! Gwenie, parang hindi compatible si Paris at ang mga kechup mo. Gusto ko ring makuha sa Game KNB? tulad ni Gee. GOOOOOOOOOOO GEE! lin***. Ikaw lang pala ang tutupad ng pangarap namin ni Jay. Kasalukuyan akong naghihilod ng katawan sa banyo nang biglang may nagtext ng "N0od ka game ka na ba. And0n c gee! Hahaha! Gaga talaga un!" <-- sabi ni Jay. As in sakto. ganyan pagkakatext nya. ayan gaga ka pa raw eh naka-50K ka na nga. haha. In fairness, ang ganda nga ng katawan mo. Tama si Kris. Minsan ok lang mangielam sa bilbil nang may bilbil. LOL. Ang saya pag nagpapacover ng libro si Jay. Pwede kong hingiin ang mga librong gusto ko. Di ba, Jay? Seryosohan, ang gaganda kasi ng mga aklat nya. Kasing kakaiba nya. (kakaiba=weird) San mo malalaman kung sino ang umimbento ng inidoro? ang unang trabaho ni Billy Joel? ang kahulugan ng DORK? ang pangalan ng babaeng may tatlong boooobs? Isama na rin ang mga kabrutalan ng mundo. wala. Sa libro lang ni Jay yan. APIR! (Rio, may naaalala ka ba? tayo na at mag A-P-!!! Ikaw ha, binibigay mo na nang kusa sked mo eh hindi ko naman hinihingi. Sabik ka na talagang makita ako, ha? 'Wag kang masyadong pahalata. haha!) Awat na. Makikinig pa ako sa biyolin ng Eleanor Rigby. ASTIG!

Yiha. I missed writing entries through my blog.
Christmas is again fast-approaching. I wanna buy myself a magarbong cellphone if my resources permit me. OR an iPod like Jay's. shyet. kahit wala nang TV at sine buhay na ako dun. lol. Have so many plans for the coming Yuletide. I hope this year's will be a blast like the last's. oh no. I am missing Gel again. Spent Christmas w/ her CLAN in Baguio last year. I really enjoyed that. I miss you Gel. and the dreamcatchers. and the pag-mcDonald's sa umaga ng mga nagtitipid na hindi pa naliligo. and your pagiging HUSTLER sa Poker. and the Kampanerang Kuba!!!
Happy birthday, Rio mio!!!
Ohwell. Been pissed a great deal lately because of SOME people. It's just that I cannot anymore tolerate their insatiable, demanding, INSENSITIVE nature. I never say NO if I know I can do whichever favor is asked of me, but I am human. I also have limitations. Bakit ba may mga taong mahirap makaintindi at makagets? How many times do I have to make them feel that I don't like them or better yet, what they are doing? Tss... Devastating. (hindi ko alam kung dulot ba ito ng dysmhenorea <--again, bahala na sa spelling. ang sakit ay kasing hirap ng spelling.) bahala nga kayo.
Hay makapakinig na nga lang sa Los Del Rio. Hello Kechup Girl. Hello Miss +amdg+ Girl.

Just celebrated my birthday last Thursday with some friends (Zarah, Edel, Marcy, Car, Wewe, Jac, Ren [ayayay! haha.], Kiko, Jessie) in Web Hosting. It was more of BEERday, though. Hilo to the max (but I'm proud to say never ako nagthrow up. haha.).
My thanks to Abcd, Jay, Donna, Mini, Gel!, Rio, Knil, Big, Chia, Egoy, Rubie, Lan, Yum, Ces&Flip, Nikki (Vanilla Coke!), Nicole, etc for the greetings. San kayo manlilibre???
After the birthday came this sudden gust of depression. Gel said it could be the effect of full moon. Can't really explain it in full detail but that's basically the gist. Anyway, thanks Gel for being there. Isang text lang, magoonline agad. Even if you're so far, I can still feel your presence. Parang andito ka lang. Sarap ng feeling. :) Miss na kita. Distance may not be a hindrance after all.

When I woke up yesterday, this was the first message I stumbled upon (in my mobile)
"Today is international day for people WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. Please send an ENCOURAGING MESSAGE to a RETARDED FRIEND, JUST AS I'VE DONE. I don't care if you LICK WINDOWS, interfere with farm animals, or occasionally BANG YOUR HEAD ON A WALL. You hang in there sunshine... You're special."
What a nice quote to start the day! LOL. I love Mini and I wanna see her ASAP! *evil grin*
Last Tuesday I went to UP to see some old buddy-blockmates (literally and figuratively. haha JOKE!). Ria, Gael, Oni and Flori, you haven't changed a bit!!! I missed hanging out with these guys. Dati lang pa-AS walk AS walk, Kamia (shyet. I miss our UNO, MTv and Blue Moon days!!! *tears*) at SaLin tambayan lang kami but now, I'm sorry, FC na ang tambayan! lol. Because of this get together, I was again able to savour Beach House's BBQs as well as manong's shredded corn (I must admit, it doesn't taste like a cough syrup this time.), sayang nga lang wala nang FROZEN COKE sa CASAA!!! Good thing there are tiangge stalls along the Walk kaya masaya ang life--I was able to buy 2 Jeffrey Archer books! :)
Tito Ernie visited us yesterday, on the other hand. It was my Lolo's death anniversary. The first time he saw me, he said: "Wow. Mukhang naeenjoy mo ang trabaho at circle of friends mo, ha?" Thanks tito Ernie for not making it straight to the point. *laughs* It was nice talking family again with him. I was put in the HOT SEAT, though. Thank you sa mga nakakalokang tanong (na kailangang sagutin, sa ayaw at sa gusto mo.) ng mga tito at tita ko. :) I feel light for being able to open up with them. :)
So far, no problems! Thank God. :)

Yes! I'm way too excited with -BER months. Why? Birthdays will soon be celebrated. Ahem. lol. Oh well, excluding MINE, sige na. My tita, sister, 2 cousins, MY BESTBUD KNIL, friend Kris and idol CZJ and Will Smith will be celebrating theirs this coming September. Basta. It's inexplicable. There's something with -BER months that I really like, or am excited about. Christmas will soon be coming as well!!! I hope this year will be a blast. :) Just 2 days ago was my Lola's birthday. Belated Happy Birthday, Nanay! (just as all the other APOs call her.) Yesterday was the celebration, though. It was fun even if some other relatives didn't make it. Full and bloated AGAIN. Am too excited for tomorrow's get together with Ria and Gael!!! Congratulations Gael for passing the board exam. Shyet license na lang DOCTOR ka na talaga!!! Am proud of you! :) Anyway, I received text messages from some UP friends telling me to read Sunday's PDI with Raul Gonzalez's controversial article about UP breeding destabilizers, etc. Here are some things I would like to comment about: Gonzalez:
"I doff my hat to them because they initiate the running of naked people... That's also one kind of culture that they develop there," he said, noting that women had begun to join the naked run as well which is held in December. "Maybe we are going in that direction... there are now women running naked. I will not be surprised if they will go to school with only their books, nothing more," he said.EXCUSE ME, DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THE OBLATION RUN SYMBOLIZES? SINCE THE TIME OUR COUNTRY WAS COLONIZED BY THE AMERICANS, MOST ESPECIALLY BY THE SPANIARDS, HAVE WE EXPERIENCED ULTIMATE FREEDOM? NO, AND IT IS PLEASING TO KNOW THAT THERE STILL ARE SOME WAYS ON HOW WE CAN EXPRESS FREEDOM/FEEL FREE EVEN BY JUST RUNNING NAKED ONCE A YEAR. IT IS THE SYMBOL OF THE SPIRIT OF DEDICATION OF U.P. TO THE IDEALS OF SERVICE TO OUR PEOPLE AND OF LOYALTY TO THE CAUSE OF HUMAN BETTERMENT.Gonzalez: "They should consider the fact that the state is the one paying for their schooling. Why fight the state? Why try to bring it down. I think some degree of gratitude should be there also."EXCUSE ME AGAIN. WE DO NOT OWE THE GOVERNMENT A SINGLE CENTAVO. IT IS THE PEOPLE WHOM WE OWE MONEY, AND IT IS NOT ONLY US, U.P. STUDENTS WHO OWE THEM ONE. YOU ALSO ARE INCLUDED. YOU QUOTED: "there are many students there who are bright and good." INDEED, THERE ARE MANY STUDENTS IN U.P. WHO ARE BRIGHT AND GOOD AND WOULD KNOW OTHER MEANS OF REPAYING THE PEOPLE, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EQUIVALENT WITH THE ISKOLAR NG BAYAN HAVING TO SHOW GRATITUDE TO THE SO-CALLED "GOVERNMENT". BESIDES, THERE SHAN'T BE ANY TUITION FEE. LOOK AT HOW THE P.U.P STUDENTS REACT WHEN THEIR TUITION FEE GOES ABOVE PhP200? WAKE UP.Lastly, PDI: Asked what school he graduated from, Gonzalez replied: "University of Sto. Tomas... that's why I am well-behaved." YEAH, RIGHT. (I have nothing against UST students, pero naman, what's the connection between being a UST student with being well-behaved?)

I am happy yet sad.
Happy: I watched Mini's play last Saturday w/ Jay and her friend, Diega. Mini really does know how to dance. I'm proud of you! :) enjoyed it!
Sad: Batch 14 is slowly breaking into pieces. I miss my batchmates. Punyeta. Wag nang unti-untiin! Sabihin na kung sino ang mga mawawala, di yung iisa-isahin pa! You may see me SMILING and all but behind those smiles, shit, I am really saddened with all that is presently happening. Yeah fine I get it that they had to choose BUT... Oh well. Ayoko na lang magsalita. As if we can still do something about it. Can't even reply to our group messages. I'm at a loss for words. This is so depressing.
I'll miss you guys--JHEN, AJ, KRYSTAL, RUTH, ACE, RAYMOND... :c
as well as APOLOLOL, JHOYCEE, RENEE, REGGIE, LITO.
This is US, FIVE MONTHS AGO.
God bless you guys.

An Out of Place Out of Town, etc.
hihi.
One fine Sunday, I went home from work and as a ritual, I took a bus with Ethan (tss... I'm getting the hang of it, ie, calling Efren Ethan.). This bus will have taken me to Congressional Avenue, just one ride away from home. Anyway, to make the long story short, the bus is homey. There's a VHS player there showing The Terminator (Arnold is so PAPABLE.). Efren left the bus first, for he's bound to Shaw Boulevard only. He left me watching the said movie and even before he did, he reminded me NOT TO SLEEP. Thanks Ethan. lol. Anyway, just when the movie is on its climax, the VHS player went dead. Hay. Unintentionally, I dozed off and just as I was opening my eyes, omG. Were the heck am I! I'm sorry but the bus is driving it's way smoothly along NLEX. Yeah you read it right. NORTH LUZON EXPRESSWAY. haha! I had no choice but to wait til the bus comes to a halt and that was when we reached Meycauayan. sheesh. So there. That was my adventure in BULACAN last Sunday. hehe. :)
A week ago, Jay brought me to ADMU. It was something UNPLANNED on MY part pero malay ko ba kung ano ang tumatakbo sa utak ni Janina habang siya'y nagmamaneho. lol. Anyway, I saw in RIO's eyes that SHE'S VERY, VERY HAPPY upon seeing me. haha! Well at least Nica was more honest nung sinabi nyang: "Uy namiss kita ah!" WUSHU RIO... Admit it! Don't be shy! lol. And at long last, I was able to meet Gee, also a bestfriend of Jay. Too bad I wasn't able to see Ma-ann, Mika, Ekay, Carl, etc. I saw Kai and Ayah, though! You're great, Ayah! :)
Hmm. What else? I am sad because Gel already left for the States. I've known this gal for almost 3 years already (Thank you, logarithm.) and in those 3 years, I can say that she is a wonderful person. Thanks for the memories, Gel. Jay and I will see you sometime SOON. (hah. ikaw uuwi dito. akala mo ba bibisita kami dyan? pwede rin. bigyan mo kaming pamasahe. lol.) Thanks din sa tennis racket at table tennis paddle. Will take good care of them. :)
Hey Ethan. It's difficult to gain email access. Time-pressured. lol. Anyways, I won't forget my promise. :)
PS. We miss you Apololol and Renee and Jhoycee and Joi!!! Shift bid na. God bless us.
