To The Beach

2005-11-01T23:22:00.000+08:00

In just 7 hrs or less, my friends (which is also my roommates) and I will be off to our sembreak Beach break! It has been months since I went to the beach. I miss the sun, the sands, the sea and of course swimming!

I'll post right away when I get back in the weekends.
Off to puerto...

God is GOD

HE really works.

I spent the whole day at the healing mass and session of Fr. Corsie Legaspi at the Coast Guard Hall. At first, I was reluctant if it's really a miracle but after watching the documentary film that was shown seeing a true miracle in my own two eyes.

There was this guy, my same age probably who has a colon cancer. He said he's set to have his chemo theraphy this coming thursday. After his first operation, hindi na siya makalakad due to the pain the tumor is giving him. He said there's a constant pain in the intestine area every now and then. But after Fr. Corsie prayed over him and HEALED him, he walk instantly. Siya pa nga nagtulak ng wheel chair niya. I hope he'll truly recover from his cancer coz I know he still have a bright future ahead. Besides, he's still young.

God WORKS.

I love to drive! I wish I have my own car hehe (Mom! Dad! hehe) But our family car is fine although matigas yung clutch.

PBB Eviction night once again and Chx got evicted. I'm right that it's already her time to go. At least majority of the viewers agree with me.

I'm back in Laguna at pagbalik ko I spent my day with my D1 friends sa EK. I had fun fun fun.
Here are some of the pics.

First Sem is Over

2005-10-15T21:59:00.001+08:00

And at last, first sem is over. That means, I can sleep 8 or more hours a day peacefully with no schoolwork to think. At least for one month hehe. I'm starting to think what I would do first sa dami ng activities na pinalano kong gawin. It has been a month since my last post and after the sem I would like to thank the people who made my sem a wonderful experience.

New Layout

2005-10-15T21:54:00.000+08:00

It's Sem Break so I decided to change my lay-out. Hope you like it. Up and up!

And Suddenly That

2005-09-11T16:13:00.000+08:00

That was one hell of a week: Running from Prince to SOM to beat the deadline, four consecutive sleepless nights, heart-cracking exam results and a difficult exam. At least tapos na yun at konti na lang ang mga dapat kong tapusin at sem break na! Alam ko matagal pa siya and more or less one month pa before the break.

I can not stop to think about what will happen to my life for the next years. Lately, puro tungkol sa future life ko ang iniisip ko and I am starting realize I become older and older and I can feel the pressure to be more mature and more responsible.

Arrrgggh! Life. Sometimes it tricky, unfair but there is still room for fun.

A lot like life

2005-09-03T23:38:00.000+08:00

Saturday night. Supposed to be I am out with my friends today, in either Fort or Metrowalk but no. My parents are here and marketing pass 3 is due on monday with the 4th WAC. I can feel the PRESSURE! The competition is really on and my group mates and I really want to hit the road. So enough blogging and I am going back to work. It will be another sleepless day.
--------------------
I am starting to be really happy again. I hope it will continue this way. Just this way.

And There HE was

2005-08-31T08:18:00.000+08:00

It was one of the rare times na pumasok ako sa Eco class and di naman siya pumasok! Darn, bakit ba siya ganito? Oh well, I ended up here sa RSF. What a way to start a day.

My Best Catch

2005-08-30T00:34:00.000+08:00

I am done with my POS130 Class! I can not believe I was able to finish a 3678-word paper. The requirement kasi is at least 3500 words. At least I am done with it!

This coming weeks will be a living hell for me. 2 Oral Exams and a WAC this week. Pass3, Eco Long Test and a Mock Defense next week. I hope we'll be the BEST CATCH! hehe promotion na for marketing namin.

And for all of you guys who prayed for my Dad, an endless thanks and love! He is recovering fast and he will be okay soon. Thanks ulit!

Im gonna love you more than anyone.

Fix You Dad

2005-08-14T01:21:00.000+08:00

My Dad was rushed to the hospital late night yesterday. Complication on his kidney. It was his first confinement ever and I just hate to see him weak in his hospital bed. He is not the Dad I had known for the past years. I know he will get through with this.

I had fun today despite all the things that happened for the past two days. Thanks to my best friends Wi, Len, Yen, Kae and Lei. You guys really gave justice to the essence and meaning of friendship! Iba talaga kayo! See you soon.

I need to get back to work. 24 hours na akong walang tulog.

Man Who Ate His 24/7

2005-08-12T23:35:00.000+08:00

It has been three weeks or more since my last entry.

My life for the past week has been hell and will still be hell for the next few weeks. Hell day to hell week to hell month to hell sem (I am not actually surprised since I started to be involved).

StoXchange II is doing well. Thanks Sheri, Karen, James, Pia, Ynnah, Ams, Ajang for all the help! (I hope I did not forget someone) Awarding na lang next month! Sana maging smooth-flowing ang duration ng tournament. 1 down.

My group mates and I are having panic attacks about our Mktg and POM projects since 20+ days na lang natitira before the deadline. I hope everything will be just fine. Sana nga paranoid lang kami. We have to work double time. I can not believe Nino is already using a planner for his schedules. That is not him.

I will be starting to work for Sanggu (OP & 3YC) next week. Promise kayo na next priorities ko since tapos na obligations ko sa MEcO. Back to the old ways.

Pol sci. IR. I hope I did well on my midterms since Maita said she will be giving bonus points and considerations. I hope I will be able to make a good paper on WB-IMF or Sudan political crisis and the UN. I still want to continue my minor!

Kawawa naman si Sir Tamangan. I hope he will get well soon. I hope he is not dying soon. Sana mali ang mga rumors.

I love Sir Capili. Sabi nga ni Pao parang binabastos lang namin si Sir sa mga hirit namin nila Zhars at Karen knowing he is our Philo prof. It is nice to be friends with your teachers outside class and be serious during lectures.

I hope that Pia and her friends will be safe in Amsterdam and Cologne for the Weltjugendtag 2005. I will pray she will be able to find a saint there that she had been looking for a long time now.

I will be spending my day tomorrow with my HS best friends. I missed them. 2 months na since huling nagkita kami and we will be doing unusual stuffs tomorrow sa get together namin. Sana mag-work. See you later guys!

2 Research Papers. 1 Marketing Plan. 1 POM Project Plan. 1 Mock Defense. 2 Oral Defense. 4 Oral Exams. 2 WACs. 8 Long Tests. Quizzes. Recitations. School Activities. Sanggu and Org Meetings. Long way to go before the semester ends. Sana mag-fast forward.

Harry Potter, the Half-Blood Prince and I

2005-07-22T20:48:00.000+08:00

Long time no post.

I was confined in the Medical City last week.

I finished and procrastinated most my projects and things to accomplish this week. Some of them are not yet done but at least I am half way through.

And by the way, the Half-Blood Prince rocks! Hehe it is the only thing that made me happy this week, so much happy and fulfilled.

Not Bad At All

2005-07-10T23:42:00.000+08:00

Ateneo lost to La Salle kanina. I do not know pero siguro I am getting used na natatalo kami sa La Salle. I hope we will win next time. Some were good actually.
---------------
I watched Fantastic Four last wednesday. It is a good movie, an entertaining one although not as good as Batman Begins.
---------------
It is my Dads birthday today and we actually had a good day together! Yey!
---------------
Too many deadlines for this coming week: Theo Reflection Paper, Marketing Pass 1, Polsci Arguments and Topic Proposal.

But I am looking forward in having my book sign by Neil Gaiman tomorrow sa Gateway and getting my HP Book 6 on Saturday sa PB Alabang.

Mixed

2005-07-02T22:39:00.000+08:00

At last I went home to my Laguna home after two weeks of not going home. My POM groupmates and I went to my Mom's office earlier this morning to conduct interviews and tours for our first deliverable. I bought OC Mix 2 CD at Alabang this afternoon and I am currently enjoying it hehe. Medyo delayed na nga kasi dapat Mix 4 na yung binibili ko ngayon.
------------
I had my guidance test yesterday. Ang saya gumawa ng mga stories kahit na medyo sabog yung mga plot na ginawa ko at di pa ako nag-follow ng instructions. I hope hindi nila iconclude na psychotic ako kasi hindi ako sumunod sa mga directions.
------------
I am excited to watch Fantastic Four on Wednesday at siyempre for free sana ulit. Monday and Tuesday will be hell for me. Long Tests, Papers, Grade Recitations at iba pang requirements. I hope I will survive.

What a Day

2005-06-29T20:41:00.000+08:00

Maybe it is my fate.

I watched War of the Worlds a while ago and the only thing I enjoyed in the movie is Dakota Fanning, no more no less. I think it is a waste of time because of its lethargic ending. When we are about to go home, my friend and I asked me to pass by Shoppersville. I decided to withdraw some cash first for the groceries and shoot, my card was captured. Damn! What have I done?

I have a long quiz and graded recitations tomorrow. I hope I could concentrate later to study my notes and readings.

I hope it would not be bad at all.
Waiting for that BIG day

And Just Like That

2005-06-25T22:29:00.000+08:00

I am glad to be so happy. I just feel everything is falling into the right place. Life just works for me the way I wanted it to be.

Actually Pistons lost yesterday. My dad must be happy right now. He won in our bet which means that I will be nicer to him in the next few days.

Just when you thought you have nothing that you will realize you got something.

What I Ought To BE

2005-06-20T13:19:00.000+08:00

I feel so irresponsible. Sa dami ng mga bagay na dapat kong ma-accomplish, konti pa lang ang nagagawa ko. I do not know what is happening to me. Siguro masyado lang akong nag-eenjoy at nagiging free-loader. Hindi naman ako ganito. Hay sana magmature na ugali ko hehe.

Semester Begins

2005-06-15T22:12:00.000+08:00

It is official. 1st Semester class had already begun. And I am currently starting my agony this early due to heavy workloads, and freaking teachers. I just wish this semester will be a good one for me.

Perks of Being Just ME

2005-06-11T18:58:00.000+08:00

I would like to quote the last two lines from The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

"please believe that things are good with me, and even when they are not, they will be soon enough.

And I will believe the same about you."

I think it says it all.
-----------------------------
Three days left and 1st Semester class will begin. I do not know if I am excited about it or not. I do not know what to feel. I just dont. But for now, I am enjoying the remaining days for myself and only myself. Maybe it is the only thing I can repay my self for all the things that had happened. It is getting better and better. I hope it will continue going on like this.

Isang Telenobela

2005-06-09T00:47:00.000+08:00

Bakit ba mahilig kong gawin ang isang napaka-walang kuwentang bagay?

Bakit ba ang dali kong maniwala sa isang taong napaka-madali lang ang manloko ng iba?

Sa oras na tulog na ang lahat ng tao sa paligid mo, bigla mong iisipin ang isang bagay na iyong kinalimutan buong araw. Tatanungin mo ang iyong sarili, tanga ba ako at naniwala ako sa kanya kahit na alam kong nagloloko lamang siya. Bakit hanggang ngayon, pinipilit ko pa ring paniwalain ang sarili ko sa isang bagay na mali sa simulat sapol?

Buhay nga naman, isang soap opera. Puno ng mga madadramang linya. Mayaman sa mga eksenang itutuloy bukas.

Single and Disgruntled

2005-06-03T20:38:00.000+08:00

Am I really bitter because I am single up to now? At first, I would say I am not. But after watching A Walk to Remember later this afternoon, I realized maybe I am bitter. Now I hate to be single. So my next lesson: never interfere with your friend’s relationship. I might look meddler.

Tomorrow is the big day.

Stress is not that easy to overcome

2005-06-01T18:02:00.000+08:00

I never thought packing my things and moving to a new place is that stressful. It took me three days (or more, I guess) to complete this task. Early this noon, I already bided my farewell to my room mate for two years and some dorm mates, which lasted for an hour because of lots of side stories. I hate saying goodbyes.
All I want to do now is lie down and watch movies from the DVDs I bought recently. But still, I have tons of duties to accomplish. Imagine, classes haven’t started yet but I had been busy all week long. I have to cope with this stress immediately. Three days to go. I can not wait until Saturday.

It is Over

2005-05-24T13:13:00.000+08:00

Finally after six weeks, summer classes are finally over for me. I had my final exams yesterday. I just never thought I would enjoy this summer more than I did. Especially in my SA class.

At first, akala ko I will suffer a one-and-a-half hour class everyday kasi wala akong kilala. Pero after our field trip, I met new friends and started a friendship that for me would last even the class has already ended. I never thought I would love this class this much than I despise it on our first day.

I learned a lot. I gained new friends.

I realized that letter grades are not anymore important to me. As long as I passed the course and gained a lot that would contribute to me, being a person. After ten years, those letter grades will be insignificant on how I will live my life.

Still Bumming Around

2005-05-21T10:57:00.000+08:00

Saturday ngayon and the I'm still at my dorm. I said to my mom I will be going home on monday after all my exams. I just wished time flies fast at monday night na so I am already in my own bedroom. I missed my room especially my bed. Siguro nga I already have an attachment with my bed na ginagamit ko since my childhood days.

I watched Star Wars Episode III last thursday. And yes, I'm satisfied and overwhelmed with my movie. Great fx, Hayden improved and I love Yoda. Isn't he cute?

I am supposed to be at school at the moment kaso Ynnah is still at home. We are supposed to do our orals script on monday for Jap. I hope we'll do better than our first one.

I want to change my blog lay-out. Maybe I will do it on my 1-2 week vacation time.

I am not still done packing my things. At first, akala ko fun ang mag-pack ng things mo because of the thought na lilipat ka na to a better place. Yesterday, I felt how stressful to choose things na dadalhin mo and place them in the box. Hindi pa ako nangangalahati sa mga ipapack kong gamit. My other two padmates are done packing their things. I am excited to transfer to Prince, new environment, new adventures and our new home (at least for the next two years).

Most of my friends, nasa beach ngayon and they keep on texting me kung gaano kasaya sa beach. I just control myself na huwag masyadong mainggit kasi on thursday I will also be going out of town. At least makakahabol pa ako for summer!

I have to study and finish the project proposal but I still don't have the urge to do them. Hindi pa rin nagtetext si Ynnah kung nasaan na siya ngayon. I enjoy bumming at the moment.

Friends

2005-05-17T17:26:00.000+08:00

This is my tribute to my friends who had been there since then. For the Six Years of friendship.

friends who always love house party...
and who loves to have fun.

Looking forward for a friendship that will last a lifetime.

Getting Things Done

2005-05-17T17:06:00.000+08:00

Almost one week left and summer classes will be finally over. At least I will enjoy my almost two-week vacation before 1st Sem classes starts. I can not wait! In fact, I am already in vacation mode. At least, I am going to the beach before summer ends. I am such a loser hehe. On the other hand, I am excited coz the last Star Wars movie will be shown on Thursday and I am currently watching the previous five Star Wars films to refresh my memory. And the last thing I am excited about the end of summer classes is that I am finally moving to Prince David this June with some of my friends.
At last, the long wait is over.

Trip

2005-05-05T14:46:00.000+08:00

Sorry kung hindi ako masyadong nakakapag-post lately kasi masyadong busy sa summer classes. Sana matapos na lahat ng dapat gawin. Last sunday, we had a field trip in our SA class in Calamba. We went to the Rizalistas, who believed Rizal and Jesus are just the same person. The trip was fun! I enjoyed the company of groupmates who became my new friends. 'Till next time. I have to finish my Pol Sci paper.

Celebrate

2005-04-18T20:54:00.000+08:00

I am relieved. Lumabas na ang lola ko from the hospital and I am hoping she will recover fast para bumalik na iyong dati niyang sigla.
----------------------
I am still in Kitchie-Sponge-Rivermaya mode because of the concert last Saturday.
----------------------
Nag-work out ako kanina with Julian and had our first work-out sa bago naming gym.

Same Ground

2005-04-17T21:18:00.000+08:00

We watched the Rivermaya-Kitchie Nadal Concert last night. It was a bomb! Siyempre we enjoyed the advantage of seating in the second row, near the aisle. There are many stories I wished I could tell right now kaso lang 5:30 na kami natulog kanina so I have to sleep pa. Here are some of the pictures. You can more of the pictures at this link: http://photobucket.com/albums/v709/tltuason/Rivermaya%20Kitchie%20Same%20Ground

Bowling and Billiards

2005-04-07T23:54:00.000+08:00

I had a great day! I went to ATC with Nikki and Marge. We planned this gimmick, second sem pa. Lagi kaming nag-totown kapag sem break or summer break and it is good to be back in action with my two friends. I hope Nikki is happy right now kasi I already gave her my VCDs of the second season of The OC at bumili kami ng mga blank CDs kanina. What we always do after meeting each other (usually sa Powerbooks) and eating is we will watch a movie pero naiba kanina. Since Marge don't want to watch Spongebob, I already watched Closer and Nikki don't want to watch Hide and Seek, we are down to choose between Miss Congeniality 2 and The Pacifier. Kaso may technical problems daw sa 2 cinemas, which the said two films are shown kaya we were left with no choice but to have an alternative activity than watching a movie. And guess what? We went bowling and billiards! Haha, nagpaka-sporty kaming 3. Although I played bowling before, I am still not good in playing it. Laging kanal yung tira ko kaya hindi nakakahiya. Marge had a strike sa first niyang tira. And while we were playing, kinuwento ko kay Marge yung Pink Table story na napakahaba at napakawalang kuwenta. After bowling, we played billiards. It was my first time to play ng one hour straight at hindi talaga ako marunong mag-billiards. Even before, pinagtatawanan ako ng mga friends ko kasi kapag tumitira ako, lumilipad ang cue ball. Nikki and Marge taught me how to play, at kahit medyo kalat yung paglalaro, may mga naipasok na akong mga bola and I can say marunong na akong maglaro. In fact, I won sa 9-ball game namin kasi ako yung nakapasok ng 9th ball. Sorry Nikki and Marge, hehe...kidding. Biglang nag-boost ang self-esteem ko. I felt sad for Nikko Smith to be the 4th person to be eliminated in AI. I wished it was Scott who got eliminated not Nikko. I'll post our bowling and billiards pictures tommorrow. It is already midnight. I have to sleep hehe.

Outing and Mourning

2005-04-03T21:55:00.000+08:00

I'm back from our outing. Siyempre masaya kahit na may problem at the start pero at least natuloy pa rin. Konti lang ang pumunta at halos mga close intimate friends lang. And where? hehe, saan pa ba kami nag-oouting. At siyempre kaninang umaga, all of us felt sad with news of the death of the Pope. He has been an inspiration for many people around the world. I know he will rest in peace. We watched CNN as soon as we got home, which is almost 7 in the evening. Para lang siyang natutulog at napaka-peaceful niyang tignan. Let us just all pray for his soul and thank him for the inspiration and all the good things he did for all of us.
--------------------------------
One week na lang at magsisimula na ang summer classes. Yup, mag-susummer class ako ngayon, like last year at konti na lang ang panahon para ma-enjoy ko ang mga natitirang araw ng bakasyon. I'll spend my week as usual with my friends, Korean films and Full House series na pinahiram sa akin ng friend ko.
--------------------------------

April Fools Day

2005-04-01T16:41:00.000+08:00

I already finished watching The OC Season 2 episodes 1-17 at pinakafavorite ko yung episode 14, "Rainy Days Women". Tinugtog yung Champagne Supernova sa bandang huli ng episode and I love the way it ended. At least Summer and Seth are back together again (sorry kung spoiler sa iba hehe).
---------------------------
My HS friends and I will be going out tommorrow. Although may mga problema ngayon, I hope na maayos siya by tonight and everything will turn out well.
---------------------------
I have sore throat ngayon at kagagaling ko lang from Asian Med para sa check-up. Ang dami na namang iinoming gamot! Grrr...Well sana I'll feel better after drinking those medicines.

Happy Easter

2005-03-27T20:41:00.000+08:00

Happy Easter to everyone!
I'm looking forward to the next two weeks...(actually ito yung weeks before summer classes start). I looking forward to see my friends, bond, and of course beach!!!! hehe
-------------------
Dahil sa boredom ko I took several quizzes (maybe more or less hundred na) sa quizfarm and quizilla. And most of them, non-sense talaga. Yung isang quiz kung sinong celebrity yung potential twin ko and yung result--->PARIS HILTON! God! What the hell...pero I'm nothing against Paris Hilton hehe. Marge and Camille laughed at me. Tapos, What Dog am I, yung result---> I'm a Mutt! Tapos I'm a loner, I'll die because of poison haha at madami pa. I'll be getting The OC Season 2 episode 10-17 on tuesday...yey! I bought Nina's new album yesterday, and it's good.

DVD Marathon

2005-03-23T21:39:00.000+08:00

Maundy Thursday na bukas at halos lahat ng channels, movies and spiritual features lang ang ipapalabas until Black Saturday. This is the time of the year na I really feel bored to the nth level kaya simula bukas DVD Marathon na naman (since the walang cable dito sa house ng lola ko where we usually spend our holy week) from the moment I will wake up until the time I will sleep. I hope I will be happy with the movies I am going to watch...

Holy week and vacation time na. Hindi ako nakapag-post ever since classes ended kasi I'm busy fixing things with my room and my new lay-out (again!). Hope you will like it. Ang sarap din pa lang maging bum these past few days. At least, I have nothing to worry for now. I'm glad I have peace of mind right now which I always wanted to have.

Fast-Food Country

2005-03-06T00:13:00.000+08:00

There are many things running through in my mind right now. My Dad fetched me at the dorm later than I expected. Then we went to a warehouse at Pasig to pick up my Mom. While waiting for her meeting to be finished, I walked around the huge place and checked out different things. Since my mom's clients are Jollibee and Mc Donalds, most of the stuffs there come from the two giant fast food chains. I took different pictures to alleviate my boredom. Seeing hundreds of chairs, computer monitors, signs, kitchen cabinets, menu bars stacked bothers me.
Considering these trashes they accumulate, makes me wonder if they are just going to leave their trashes like that. No wonder, the government is having a problem finding solutions to the increasing waste generated in our country.

Series of Fortunate Events

2005-03-05T01:44:00.000+08:00

It's already Saturday at siyempre hanggang ngayon may hang-over pa kami ni Nike sa concert. Here is the list of our fortunate events (since we watched Lemony Snickets kaya parang ito yung tribute namin sa movie).
1. From Gen Admission tickets (na originally napanalunan ng Mom ni Len) to Upper Box tickets, which we won four hours before the concerts.
2. Pumayag si Ate Melanie (yung staff sa Araneta na naging instant friend namin) na lumipat kami ng one section lower...hooray!!!
3. We got photo-ops with Christian while he's in the car smiling.
4. Naging close with Audie Gemora (director ng concert) and Carlo Orosa (manager ni Christian)
5. Binigay ni Carlo yung ID Pass niya sa concert kay Len.
Haay! And I'm very happy with the concert as a whole. Maganda yung mga songs and production number except lang sa Dunkin. At least, we got close with Christian's manager and staff and I can't wait for his next concert. Sana sa Big Dome ulit. Some of the pics below are taken during the concert and my picture with Carlo Orosa (although medyo blurred saka maliit kasi camera phone lang ang ginamit)

Love moves

2005-02-27T21:16:00.000+08:00

Love moves in mysterious ways

It's always so surprising

When love appears over the horizon

I'll love you for the rest of my days

But still, it's a mystery

How you ever came to me

Which only proves

Love moves in mysterious ways

There are many reasons which make me smile these past few days. Despite of different problems I'm facing at the moment, I am still very thankful for blessings. I promise not to talk about my love life right now but at least I'm happy. The song describes it all.

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

I also want to say to Ate Din that I will always be here for you. I know it is a cliche but personally you know that you can count on me anytime. I know there are oceans between us but I'm just a call away. God is always here to guide us and I know you'll be a good mother to your child. Take Care and love you!

Curtain Call

2005-02-24T23:38:00.000+08:00

It will be my second post since nagloloko and internet at nawala yung pinost ko kanina. As I said earlier, I felt very happy returning to my highschool where most of my beautiful and happiest memories in life happened. Sa CSA ko rin nakilala ang mga taong hanggang ngayon, hindi ako iniiwan and been there for me through my lowest and highest point in life. We watched the play, Sa Ngalan ng Ama, which we first staged during our second year. I played Miguel, one of my favorite roles to date. It's one of my most memorable play. Well, siyempre ang pinakainabangan, yung pagdating ni Ru with his love of his life and he arrived late. As in tapos na yung play! At least pinakilala niya sa buong COF at siyempre sa advisers namin, sina Ms. Ana and Sir Rocks. The day ended sa Shakeys were we had our reunion dinner at nagkalat pa kami nila Yen, Wi at Liza. The picture above was taken sa stage ng newly constructed audi-gym ng CSA with Sir Rocks and the gang. Ciao

Mahiwagang Elisi

2005-02-19T01:01:00.000+08:00

It was a very tiring day pero enjoy pa rin because of the Sophomore show (well I enjoyed the most because of Rivermaya - their songs, performance pati photo ops). Grabe medyo boring pa yung crowd noong una pero habang tumatagal nag-eenjoy na rin lalo na nung lumabas ang Rivermaya. Astig! Their first song is A Love to Share then Elisi, Medley of 214 and Balisong, You'll Be Safe Here, Awit ng Kabataan and lastly, Liwanag sa Dilim. Ang cool ni Rico Blanco magperform on stage. Well this is the first time na sobrang lapit ko sa kanya na halos abot-kamay ko na siya. I took advantage of that moment by taking numerous pictures! Well hindi lang naman ako hehe. There was a point ng mismong si Rico na yung nagvivideo ng phone nung isang girl na katabi namin while she's singing 214. After their performance, I asked Nikki to go with me sa Sanggu Room para magpa-picture. Well kinilig din naman si Nikki sa picture niya with Mark. Until now hindi pa rin ako nakakarecover hehe. For more pics just click my photos link sa sidebar and nasa Rivermaya Love Ko 2 folder yung mga pictures.

Dont Dream It is Over

2005-02-14T11:54:00.001+08:00

I arrived early kaninang umaga dito sa dorm. As usual it is monday, but it is more different kasi may occassion ata ngayon. I love teasing my friends kaya nga kanina hindi ko tinigilan si Bugs, Ruel, Anjo at Abeng of course with the help of Czar. I'm glad with Ruel's mushy plan for today. Well nothing special daw but he spent double to order a personalized donut at Cellos because it is his namees favorite donut. And Bugs, even he keeps on denying, I know there is something he plans to do for *. And about me? hahaha Czar and I planned to go to Shang later to go shopping and eat at a fine dinning restaurant. Well, another dormate bought white roses and even sprayed his roomates perfume just to look good for today. It is their day. Not mine.

Overcoming Bitterness on Valentines

2005-02-14T11:54:00.000+08:00

Grabe! Two entries in one day. Ganito ba kaboring ang valentines day? Well for me tonight, I really really had fun with my company. I would like to give credits to Czar, Son and Abeng for making my Single Awareness Day/Valentines Day so wonderful. Umalis kami ng dorm almost 4:15 in the afternoon and took a cab off to Shang. But Czar forced the driver to drop us off to Megamall because he's planning to buy some clothes which eventually didnt happen because Megamall is jampacked with many people (as in ang dami parang rush hours ng Christmas shopping pero I hope Im not exagerrating too much). At least, Abeng bought the book she needed. Then we headed off to Shang where Czar still looked for clothes and bags. Because most of us are already starving we went to eat and we cant decide kung Red Crab o Via Mare. Then I said, we eat na lang sa Chatteau but Czar insisted on Kublai sa Podium so went there and passed by Edsa Shang. When we arrived sa Podium, the UP Singing Ambassadors are serenading everybody tapos Czar said to me, kawawa naman sila dito lang sila nagdadate. Then we found out sarado na pala ang Kublai. Were such loosers, kaya bumalik kaming El Pueblo to eat and we ended up sa Congo Grille kasi puno na sa Chatteau. After eating for almost two hours (and for the first time hindi ko kinaya yung double rice kasi busog na busog na ako). We kept teasing Abeng na she must choose sa aming tatlo, mala The Bachelor. Sakto pang may dalang rose si Aerson. Tapos niloloko pa namin na gagawa kami ng scene na kunwari pag-aagawan namin si Abeng. Well, it ended up na hindi namin nagawang tatlo yung plano namin. Then we sat sa may outdoor area where bands where playing and Czar joined a game by answering the question Since you are single, what did you do to celebrate Valentines? and he answered Boys Night Out. Tapos Abeng reacted, Boys night out? Bakit lalaki na ba ako ngayon? Well, Czar won a prize, a Volvo shirt since Volvo is hosting the event. Sinabi pa nga niya on the way home na memorable ang shirt na iyon kasi naconquer daw niya ang kanyang self-esteem. I'm really happy kasi it is one of my happiest valentine celebration and today I didnt felt bitter about celebrating Hearts Day

When Valentines Day Comes Along

2005-02-13T19:43:00.000+08:00

Valentines day na bukas and almost everyone are talking about love. And tomorrow I will be dating myself. I'm not actually against valentines kasi don't have something special right now. Pero ito yung isanga araw na iniisip ko na kailan ko mahahanap yung "right one". I always believe in soulmates. I always believe that there's one person out there who will complete your life and will give a "meaning" to your existence. I am used to enjoy myself as my own company pero hindi mo maaalis sa akin na isipin kung kailan siya darating pero I do not stop hoping. Kahit na marami na akong pinagdaanang heartbreaks, relationship (not many!) and failures, I'm still optimistic. Naramdaman ko ng mahalin, magmahal ng taong hindi ka mahal, magmahal at mahalin pero masaktan sa bandang huli. Pero that's life. Everyone goes through with pain until you found happiness. Love is a powerful word. I'm just grateful that I'm happy right now eventhough I am single. I'm happy kasi alam kong mahal ako ng mga pinakamahahalagang taong nakapaligid sa akin ngayon. I'm happy because at this rare moment of my life, I found peace of mind na matagal ko ng inaasam.

Moonriver
Wider than a mile
I'll be crossing you in style
Someday

Oh, Dreammaker
You heartbreaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way

Two drifters
Off to see the world
I'm not so sure the world
Deserves us
We're after
The same rainbow's end
How come it's just around the bend ?
It's always just around the bend ?

My Point of No Return

2005-02-12T23:15:00.000+08:00

There are several things which happened to my life lately that bothered me at all but at least I had enjoyed most of time of my day today.
...I watched Phantom with my best friends - Len, Yen and Wi with Kae at Kat (Len's sister). Bigla ko na lang namin naalala ang highschool days, dahil Phantom has been a huge part of it. We did an excerpt during our second year, at inaassociate pa namin yung mga characters with our classmates who portrayed the role like Lau as Christine and etc. Siyempre naalala rin namin yung mga bloopers tulad ng "here I have a note" ni Kae nung play na wala naman siyang dalang note. Of course, we didn't forgot the music and the songs from Think of Me, Angel of Music, The Phantom of the Opera, Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Masquerade and Point of No Return. It was a greatful experience and I'm very glad na it was brought to the silver screen and we were able to watch it and relive some of our good memories.
...After watching the movie, we went to stroll around G4 and find spots para magpicture using our phones, na sobrang hirap pagkasyahin kaming anim hanggang sa sumuko na si Kat at siya na lang ang nagpicture...Thanks Kat!
...Then we ate at North Park, Kae's request kasi she's into Asian stuffs lately (mostly Korean stuffs). We had a great dinner minus the chrysanthemum juice ni Wi.
...On the way home, I had a sensible talk with Wi. Ito yung mga rare moments na mag-usap kami ng seryoso. He gave me good advices on some of my problems at ang saya lang tignang seryoso si Wi. Siguro nga we're getting older at mas nagmamature na kami. He's also telling me about his problems sa school stuff at siyempre hindi mawawala ang kalokohan at mga asaran. At siyempre si Yen ang napapagbuntunan namin.
It has been two months since we had a gimmick as a complete group. Kasi most of the time, kaming tatlo lang (Len, Wi and Me!). With all my problems and stuffs, I still feel lucky I got those guys on my side. Thanks guys for a great, long and true friendship! Even though loveless tayong apat, we have a date with each one of us at complete na valentines natin. Again, thanks guys!

Holiday Rushed

2005-01-02T20:16:00.000+08:00

.Sunday night and holiday season is almost over. Grabe ang bilis, parang kahapon lang vacation na at umuwi ako dito sa Laguna tapos sa tuesday babalik na naman ako sa QC para tapusin ang mga workload (papers, reports)! Well at least naging fun naman ang holidays ko, the Christmas Party with my IS blockmates sa house ni Pia last December 17 tapos reunion and sleepover with my High School friends and classmates last December 18 (syempre sa house namin) at family reunion yesterday sa house nila Tita Helen. Sayang nga kasi muntikan ng maging ka-birthday ko yung next cousin ko. Napagdecide kasi nila Tita Helen na Jan 8 niya ipapanganak (by Caesarian operation) yung next son (yeah it's a boy!) nila ni Tito Dong para daw sunday ang 1st birthday nung baby na hanggang ngayon wala pang name. Grabe sa dami ng binirainstorm naming names wala pa rin hehehe. I watched Aishte Imasu kanina sa Alabang and I actually liked it. My mom said na it's better than Mano Po 3 kasi daw it's just a normal, stereotypical movie. Mas deserved daw ng Aishte Imasu or Panaghoy ang Best Picture hehehe. I just bought a Spongecola CD which I liked a lot. I'm actually listening to it right now. Favorite songs ko yung 22 and Jeepney! Okay wala na kong makuwento hehehe...Back to school na naman ciao!

We Could Be In Love

2004-12-15T23:48:00.000+08:00

Be still my heart
Lately its mind is all its own
It would go far and wide
Just to be near you

Even the stars
Shine a bit bright Ive noticed
When youre close to me
Still it remains a mystery

Anyone whos seen us
Knows whats goin on between us
It doesnt take a genius
To read between the lines
And its not just wishful thinking
Or only me whos dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love

I ask myself why
I sleep like a baby through the night
Maybe it helps to know
Youll be there tomorrow
Dont open my eyes
Ill wake from the spell Im under
Makes me wonder how (tell me how)
I could live without you now

And what about the laughter?
The happy ever after?
Like voices of sweet angels
Calling out our names
And its not just wishful thinking
Or only me whos dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love

All my life, I have dreamed of this
But I could not see your face
Dont ask why
Two such distant stars
Can fall right into place?

Anyone whos seen us
Knows whats goin on between us
It doesnt take a genius
To read between the lines
And its not just wishful thinking
Or only me whos dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love

Im just here at your back waiting for you to return. Ill always be here and will wait for you. The right time will come for us both

Sa Isang Mundong Umaasa

2004-12-10T20:48:00.001+08:00

Bakit sa panahon ngayon naging isang malaking pangangailangan ang magkaroon ng isang relasyon? Siguro dahil iyon ang palaging kinukulit sa iyo ng tatay mo o dahil sa naiingit ka sa mga kaibigan mo. Dahil sa tuwing magyayaya ka ng lakad ang isasagot nila sa text message mo, Sorry ‘tol may lakad kami ni... Pagkatapos kapag nagkita-kita kayo, kukulitin ka nila para sabihin na pormahan ko na si tapos sabay pasaring sa’yo na ang torpe torpe ko kasi. Sana makatulong iyon para sabihin ko sa kaniya na siya ang palagi kong iniisip.
Lagi kitang napapansin pero ako hindi mo nakikita. Nagtatago kasi ako sa anino mo kapag makakasalubong kita. Siguro nga hindi pa kita handing harapin dahil hanggang ngayon takot akong masaktan. Takot akong malaman na hindi mo ako kayang mahalin.
Bukas, gigising ako na hindi ko pa rin kayang panindigan ang nararamdaman ko para sa iyo. Hindi ko pa rin kayang harapin ang mga takot ko kahit na hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag nawala ka na. Unti-unti ng nauubos ang mga oras ko para masabi ko sa iyo ang lahat bago pa tayo magkahiwalay. Sana kaya ko, hindi pa ata. Hahayaan ko na lang yatang daanan mo ang buhay ko ng ganun-ganoon lang. Siguro nga tama ang mga kaibigan ko, na torpe ako. Siguro nga patuloy na lang akong maiingit sa kanila at hayaan ang tatay ko na mangulit. Siguro nga patuloy na lamang akong mag-iisa sa buhay at hayaan kang mawala sa akin. Sana sa pag-alis mo hindi mo dalhin ang puso ko.

Unexpected Long Weekend

2004-12-04T19:38:00.001+08:00

.Saturday night and I'm watching the news right now. I'm starting to feel guilty and pity for the victims of the past typhoons because I (actually me and my dormmates) prayed for heavy rains so classes will be suspended. Many people died and numerous properties were destroyed. Why sudden misfortune? Some would say it's a punishment, others would say it's a reminder from God for us to take care of the environment. Every news, I would see a woman or a child crying for her loss. Will the time come when all of us would cry because nothing is left for us? I hope not. I feel pity for all of us.

Fate

2004-11-25T10:49:00.000+08:00

.Thursday morning and it is the first time I woke up that my fone is not by my side. And I don't actually feel well. I don't want to be depressed because of my carelessness and bad fate. After enjoying my fencing training last night with a whole new bunch of company suddenly *boom* I don't have my fone. I just want to sleep and dream of good things that will be happening to me.

Recurrences

2004-11-23T20:36:00.000+08:00

.Tuesday night and I've nothing to write about. Czar, Son and I watched Colin Farell's movie, "A Home at the End of the World". Actually it's my second time to watch the film and still I didn't understand how it ended although I liked the cinematogrphy and film shots.

I can't believe that I consumed 5 cello's donuts for a snack a while ago. I just suddenly realized I turned myself into a "big" eater. I hope my tummy will not grow big like my dad's. Just kidding, I hope my dad will not read this entry or I will not have a "privilege"
to buy what I want to. I can't believe I'll have another busy day tomorrow. I haven't done my work for the Magna Carta convention and Kuya Boyet set my deadline for tomorrow. My accounting book is already calling me. Until another thought popped out.

Random Thoughts

2004-11-22T22:49:00.001+08:00

.Monday night and I haven't written any single word for my reflection for our 10 page Psych group paper and I bet my groupmates are cursing me at this moment. Another weird thing that I had done is that I'm brodcasting my crush to almost all of the people and I will not wonder if one day when I walked into our classroom and she will stare to me as if I did something wrong then all of the sudden she already knew I admire her, or in other words I like her. All I wanted is someone who will care for and understand me and whom I can share my dreams.

.Monday is my favorite class day because of Coach Walter (PE Class) and the admirable Sir Dave (History). My history class is really amazing. I never felt bored in any single minute or second of the class in my stay here at college. I did not often look to my watch and count the remaining seconds left. Maybe I'm exaggerating but it's really what I feel. Another day had passed and another day will come. Next Chapter please.

Destructing Laziness

2004-11-21T20:34:00.000+08:00

.Sunday night and I'm not yet finished with my Sci 10 homework and packing my things. Another weekend again had passed here in my Laguna home and I'm bound to return to QC tomorrow for another week of the "Ateneo" life. I have to place my PE things in my locker early morning tomorrow before my first class [which is Sci 10 and I'm not yet finished with my paper] and I still don't know where my locker is located. Ynnah proxied for me for the locker reg last thursday because Len, Czar and I went to ABS-CBN to have a "tour". Ruel and I will be redesigning our room tomorrow. I'm so excited! Haha, a new look for our piece of space. I hope it'll look nice. God! I can't take this laziness, I'll now finish my entry to finish my Sci 10 homework and sleep early tonight. I had to wake up as early as 4 am tomorrow. Ciao!

Goodbyes for Nothing

2004-11-20T23:33:00.000+08:00

.Saturday night and it's my first entry in my blog! yipee... last night we had this little 'cocktail-farewell' party for our dormate - aina, who will be graduating soon (she just took her college degree for 2 years - chef!). Actually, the first plan was to go to GB and go bar hopping but eventually people started to think twice in going to GB and instead have the party in the comfort of our pad (actually i'm the jerk who brought up the idea). In our surprise, ains arrived unexpectedly and saw our preparations, then when the party started she just pretended to be surprised eventhough she already knew what to expect. I slept at around 2 am and I've got to wake up by 730 for my ACP.

I woke up late in my schedule and arrived at our (cam & I) meeting place late. We still have to look for the venue of our ACP (because those staffs didn't informed us on where to go). At first, Cam explain to the "children" what the instructor (color me mine) asked us to do. I can't control myself to laugh at her because she's like talking only to herself (pity her). My work was a mess, it's like a work a pre-school student. As I see the work of other people, I suddenly wish I have that "gift of art" and my self-esteem suddenly lowered. We will get our work after 6 days. I'm trying to finish all my assignments tonight but due to my laziness syndrome, I haven't started in any of them yet. I'll just do them the whole day tomorrow. I'm starting to dose off.
