i was supposed to post this entry weeks ago, but unfortunately my short term memory got the best out of me. So there.

about a month ago (i think), our guidance counselor maam shake visited us. see, our respective gc's visit us once a year, to check how we're doing and also to remind us of her services. anyways, she instructed us to carefully answer the myers briggs personality test, in order to come up with a basic understanding our personalities. turns out i am an ISFP person.

according to the hand-out provided to us, an isfp person...

is retiring
quiet (???)
friendly
sensitive
kind
modest
a loyal follower

avoids conflict
doesn't force personal beliefs on others

somehow, i felt that the analysis of my personality was somewhat... err, lacking. though i admit, i am a sensitive person and i do value my emotions and other people's, but I felt the logical side to me was missing. So i decided to take the myers briggs again on the net, and i found out i am also an infp.

isfps and infps are so much alike, except for the fact that the general driving force of isfps is freedom from constraint, while the infp is the search for meaning or purpose.

so there, that settles it. i'm an isfp/infp hybrid. so if you're thinking about taking advantage of me, think again. i can see right through you.

p,s. if you want to learn more about the test/your personality type or if ever you want to take the test yourself, visit http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/mmdi-re/mmdi-re.htm.

ETCHETERA!

first thursday ng pasukan. hay grabe, hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng sem na ito. ewan ko ba, hindi ko kasi makuha yung timpla ng mga profs namin ngayon eh.

yung sa history, buong akala ko okay na kami sa kanya, yun pala charing-charing lang lahat yung pinakita nya. Sabi nya mabait daw sya, pero baket konting kibot lang ng isa sa klase, naninita na kaagad sya? haaay, sayang talaga. chuva pa naman sya ni tito george, pero hindi sila magkahalintulad ng approach sa pagtuturo. kainis. patunay lang na si baron pa rin ang pinaka da best na prof sa history. period.

si maam math, ayooos! hindi naman sya istrikta, although may pwersahang recitation paminsan-minsan, hindi naman sya namamahiya kapag mali ang sagot mo. at cool sya, so to speak. mabait talaga at madali pang lapitan.

si maam social teachings of the church ay talagang napaka --- zzzzz. ay pasensya na, nakatulog kasi ako. iniisip ko pa lang sya hinahatak na ako ng antok. hay naku.

si maam fiction ay isang malaking pagkakamali. sa parte ko, i mean. akala ko kasi nung una, masyado syang mataas mag-set ng expectation sa mga estudyante nya. magpa-essay ba naman kasi sa first meeting, sino ba naman ang hindi magigimbal nun? pero ngayong araw bawing-bawi naman nmain yung mga negang comments namin sa kanya. sooobrang bait talaga. hindi nga niya sinasagad yung oras nya eh, basta matapos nya lang yung scheduled lesson nya, ididismiss nya na kami. hindi pa sya mayabang. ayooos. iba talaga ang mga atenista. hehe. i love you na talaga maam!

sooo ayun, maaga kasi kaming pinalabas dahil installation ni father arceo as bagong rector ng unibersidad. ayun, kaming talo nila *ehem* sharyn at akie, nagliwaliw muna sa p. noval court. buti nga nagpasya kaming umupo dun dahil nakita namin si coach pido! yes, si coach pido na merong megawatt smile. haaay, sayang talaga hindi dinala ni akie yung digicam nya. grrr, hindi tuloy kami nakapagpa-picture sa kanya. sayang! npero at least nung nag stay pa kami, nakakita kami ng mga bokalista, yaoi guards, cyclists, backstreet boys, spice girls, f4, moments of love at mga charlie's angels (with matching theme song pa yan, take note). tapos mi-neet pa kami ni kevin, who was so sweet, binigyan pa kami ng chocolates (awwwww). kaya kung susumahin, ang araw ko e sulit na sulit!

2006-10-27T18:10:00.000+08:00

feeling hambog ako ngayong araw na ito kaya ipagsisigawan ko na lang.

wala akong bagsak ngayong sem!!! yahooo!

in your face sa mga alanghiya kong propesor. mwahaha!

2006-10-06T18:10:00.000+08:00

even after 5 days, the buzz still hasnt died. the fairytale finish of the ust growling tigers still resounds in the ancient corners of the espana based university.

and what the heck, even i can't stop blabbering about the miraculous win over the blue eagles. i mean, who can blame us, we were pitted against a strong contender, and yet we managed to finish first! in your face, skeptics!

lol. what a big bitch i've become... oh well.

thanks to our awesome coach, coach pido jarencio. if your willing to go to jail at this crucial point, then be my guest. marry me coach pido!!! i lurve you sooo much!!! i could die for a glimpse of your megawatt smile... (urgh, maybe not that extreme but still quite powerful, neh?)

and to my new found crush, mark angelo canlas... see you at the ab building. just beware, im a sneaky stalker... and by sneaky, i mean disturbing kind of sneaky. hehe.

and to the rest of the team, keep it up! i hope to see you guys battle it out next year with the pompous players of de la salle. let's beat the crap outta them!

p.s.

chris deary, i am deeply saddened by the loss of your team... but look at the bright side! im right here, mourning the loss together with you. with my ghetto-dancing, i am very sure that i can lift your spirits. so dont fret my dear, for k-ann is here!

the road towards the finals wasnt easy. and for the ust growling tigers, it was one hell of a rollercoaster ride indeed.

they withstood sickness, injuries and even ridicule to eventually secure the highly coveted spot of no. 2; the spot which entitles them to a best of 3 battle against season faves admu blue eagles. besting out this seasons seeded teams, most recently the ue red warriors, the ust tigers showed they still have the fangs and the killer pounce that can serve as their ticket to win season 69.

will ust continue their blockbuster performance against perennial court favorites blue eagles? or will they once again fall short of the school's great expectations thus giving the whole thomasian community another huge disappointment?

fellow thomasians, lets keep our fingers crossed. impossible is nothing!

and for all those non-believers: fuck y'all! its not over till its over.

hmp, lets just see who gets the last laugh...

2006-09-06T16:19:00.000+08:00

You know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.

You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm go ing through,
I just Can't Smile Without You.

You came along just like a song and brightened my day,
Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away.
And now you know

I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.

You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I'm going through,
I just can't smile.

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
And you see,

I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm going through,
I just Can't Smile Without You...

agosto 27, 2006. linggo.

alas kwatro y medya pa lamang ng umaga, gising na ako. hindi ko maitago ang tuwang nararamdaman ko nang mga sandaling iyon. sa wakas ay dumating na rin ang araw na aking pinakahihintay... oras na para makita ko si numero labimpito.

alas sais pa nga lang ng umaga lumarga na ako. takot kasi akong mahuli sa usapan namin, andun pa naman si sharyn, baka taray tarayan ako… yun pa naman eh pag sinumpong ng topak parang bulkan na magluluwa ng sangmalmal na lava. yun nga… pagdating ko naman dun sa may sakayan, wala pang katao-tao. kunsabagay, linggo kasi nun kaya malamang nananaginip pa yung mga tao nung mga oras na yun. pero syet talaga, antaaagal ko nang nag-aantay sa loob ng van ni manong, ala pa ring sumasakay. aber eh, anong petsa na noh! sa lahat ng ayoko eh yung nahuhuli ako sa usapan.

mga 45 minuto na siguro akong inuugatan dun sa loob, nang may dumating na babae. medyo maputi sya, mukhang matanda lang sakin ng tatlong taon. mahaba yung buhok, para ngang ni-rebond eh. makikita mo pa lang dun sa mukha nya, naghahabol din sya ng oras.

ayuuun, wala din kaming napala ni ate. tangna kasing mga pasahero to, kung kelan mo kelangan, dun pa hindi mahagilap. di siguro nakatiis si ate… nagtanong sya sakin. tinanong nya kung nagmamadali raw ba ako. syempre sumagot ako ng oo, totoo naman eh.

medyo naramdaman ko na nagpapanic na si ate, kaya inalok ko sya na sumabay na lang sakin papuntang cubao, tutal nga, recto kami pareho, at may sasakyan naman papuntang recto sa may munoz. desperado na yata talaga si ate, kaya ayun, sumabay nga sa kin. ang hindi nya alam, may balak akong iligaw sya pagbaba namin ng munoz… mwahahahaha!!! joke lang. ang adik ko noh?

hindi naman kami nag-antay ng matagal ni ate. isang pasahero na lang kasi yung kelangan nung dalwang mama na nagsakay samin. ang habol lang daw naman nila e, pang toll fee, kaya okay na yung tatlo.

hindi na ko masyadong kumibo, kasi kampante naman ako sa nasakyan ko. mukha namang mababait sila kuya weh, hindi naman mukhang mga rapists. aba, kung ganun nga sila, aba eh nagkamali sila ng bibiktimahin. di kami talo. tsaka yakiiiii… magpaparape ba naman ako sa mga hitsurang yun? di bale sana kung kamukha nila manong si johnny depp my labs at si takeshi kaneshiro noh! ako na mismo ang magvovolunteer na ialay ang puri ko.

sa awa ng diyos, maluwalhati naman yung nagging byahe namin. walang kahit na anong aberya ang sumalubong samin. ang maganda pa nun, pinasalamatan pa ako ni ate nung bago kami maghiwalay ng daan. may pa-ingat-ingat pa nga kaming nalalaan eh! san ka naman dun, super duper close na talaga kami ni ate.

although dahil dun sa dobleng pagsakay na ginawa ko, eh na late ako sa usapan namin nila sharyn, okay na rin ako. kasi una, napasaya ni ate ang araw ko sa simpleng pagtanaw nya ng utang na loob tsaka pangalawa, di naman ako iniwan nila sharyn sa may usapan namin. hmn, talaga ngang promising ang araw na yon.

fast forward na tayo sa feu gym ha? bale kasama ko na nun sila sharyn, sarrah, pia at clara. required kasi kaming manuod ng basketball games para sa p.e. namin kaya andun kami. actually, masaya naman yung laro, kasi ang galing na kalaban ng ue. pero syempre, mas pinaboran ng dyos ang mga kababaihang galing sa royal pontifical catholic university of the philippines. magaling ata kaming magdasal anoh!

alas nuebe y medya na nung natapos yung laban. sobrang gutom na rin kami kaya nagdesisyun na kaming kumain ng brunch. hayun, gora na kami sa kfc.

lamonlamonlamonlamonlamon. mga isang oras din kaming lumafang ng mga groupmates ko. syempre, may konting chikahan na rin on the side. halos lahat nga ata kami atat ng manuod ng laban ng ust nang alas kwatro ng hapon. pero for the meantime, napagkasunduan naming gumala muna sa may sm san lazaro. haler naman kasi, mag-ieleven pa lang nun, kaya apat na oras pa yung kelangan naming gugulin.

masaya ang pagmamalling namin… lakad dun… lakad dito… hanggang mag-aya si sarrah sa may quantum. hala, sige, punta naman kami. kung ano ang una naming ginawa, hindi ko sasabihin. sworn to secrecy kasi kami eh. mahirap nang bumali sa pangako. hehe. pero eto ang sasabihin ko ha, naglaro din kami sa quantum. (well duh, k-ann, kaya nga tinawag na gaming area yun eh! stupid ho.) at take note pipol, sayang-saya kami ha. sulit na sulit ang mga binili naming token.

pagkatapos nun, baba naman kaming food court. mag aalas dos na yata nun eh, kung di ako nagkakamali. medyo gutom kami kaya kinain na namin yung biniling cotton candy at eaji nila pia. yumyum. mas masarap talaga pag libre.

dizzizzit. alas dos kwarenta’y singko na kami nakaalis ng san lazaro. hala sige, sakay kami ng jeep kaagad, pano imi-meet pa namin yung isang kagroupmate namin, si anne, sa may uste.

ayos. pagdating namin sa may tapat ng engineering building, nakasalubong na namin si anne. swerte, kasi sobrang malelate na kami sa laro. ako pa naman ayokong malate dahil kelanagang masilayan ko kaagad ang hilatsa ng magandang mukha ni christopher john alandy-dy tiu, future hubby ko. harharharhar!!!

tangna. di naman namin akalain na halos isang oras pala ang biyahe mula quiapo hanggang pasig. syet. buti na lang hindi kami naligaw, at buti na lang talaga, pagdating namin, nagpapraktis pa lang sa hoops sila chris.

fine. sabihin nyo nang may pagkatraydor akong thomasian. I dunt kerr. ibang usapan na to pag may chris tiu nang involved.

para mas lalo pa kayong maburo sa pagbabasa nitong entri ko, bibigyan ko kayo ng history namin ni chris. third year high school pa lang ako nung makita ko sya sa isang magazine. tinuro lang sya sakin ng friend ko na si nico, na isang true blue blue eagles fanatic. gaya ko si nico, ipaglalaban talaga nya ng patayan ang admu.

pagbasa ko pa lang dun sa maliit na article na about him, baaahhh, na-impress na kagad ako. syempre naman, iilan lang ang jocks sa ibabaw ng mundo na may utak. at kabilang sya dun. and recently ko lang nalaman, dean’s lister pala sya sa ateneo. what the. poging star athlete na, matalino pa. syet. san ka pa?

kung all of a sudden, biglang nag-decide si lord na gunawin ang mundo, papayag ako. basta ba igagrant nya ko ng isang wish, aba eh tatanggapin ko. mayakap ko lang talaga si chris, okay na ko. kahit ma-tsugi ako bukas okay lang talaga.

okay. balik tayo sa laro sa may ultra. ateneo versus ust. ang tingin ko talaga nun llamado ang admu. at hindi lang yun dahil sa may bias ako sa admu ha. undefeated pa rin kasi ang blue eagles ngayong season eh. tapos wala pa nung laro na yun yung 3 star players ng ust, kaya kala ko talaga katapusan na ng growling tigers. malay ko ba namang magsisilbi pala kaming lucky charm?

umaatikabo talaga ang labanan ng mga tiga-katipunan at ng mga tiga-espana. mas nakadagdag pa nga sa pressure ng laro yung overwhelming na support ng mga ateneans. grabe, halos mapuno nila yung ultra sa dami nila. samantalang kaming mga tiga-ust, one fourth lang ata ang nasakop. eto, eto na mismo ang problema natin pagdating sa mga competition. kulang ang ust sa school spirit. pumupunta lang tayo sa mga laro-laro kapag alam nating mananalo tayo. tingnan nyo na lang pag uaap cheerdancing competition. puro dilaw ang makikita nyo sa araneta.

ansama natin no? pero anyway, balik uli tayo sa laro. by now alam kong alam nyo na natalo ng ust ang ateneo. o diba? ang nagagawa nga naman ng dasal. pero wow pare, iba talaga pag nandun ka live. sobrang saya. hindi nga ako makapagpigil na mag cheer para kay chris eh, kahit na medyo alam ko na any second may tiga-usteng pwedeng magtulak sakin pababa sa aking kamatayan, dahil na rin sa pagtataksil ko. pero too bad, buhay pa rin ako. nyaha.

sobraang galing talaga ni chris. bawat 3 point attempt nya ata e pumapasok. siguro ot of 10 attempts dalawa lang ang namiss nya… I sooo love you talaga chris! marry me!

fiiine. alam kong namamaga na ang mata nyo sa tagal ng pagkakatitig nyo sa screen (yun eh kung pinagtiyagaan nyo talagang tapusin tong post ko). pero sa mga nagtiyagang magbasa (at take note: yung hindi nandaya ha) may ibabahagi akong mahalagang mensahe sa inyo.

maraming salamat. yun lang, kala nyo naman magdadrama ako?

2006-08-20T17:45:00.000+08:00

manahimik tayong lahat at damhin natin ang presensya ni gary granada... amen.

napakaswerte namin dahil nung nakaraang biyernes lamang ay pinuntahan kami ng napakagaling at napakanakakaaliw na musikerong si gary granada. ang nasabing pagpunta nya ay dahil sa ginanap na porum ukol sa showbizlingolisation at mtvsation ng wika. (tama ba?)

nakakatawa talaga ang mamang yun... wala atang sandali na hindi ako matawa dahil sa mga patawa at kalokohan nya. hindi lang yun, hindi rin maipagkakamali ang galing nya sa pagkalabit ng gitara... kaya astig talaga.

oh, yung mga disipulo dyan ni mr. granada, punasan nyo na ang ginintuan nyang bumbunan. hehe.

2006-08-10T13:37:00.000+08:00

i have worked my butt for this test and what do i get? nothing!

grrr... fine. if i fail math, then its my fault.
if i fail history, then its my fault.
if i fail filipino, then its my fault.
if i fail nat sci, then its HIS fault.

duh, why would i blame myself for having a demented person for a professor? i am not that stupid.

2006-08-06T17:43:00.000+08:00

eto ang pinaka-una kong purong tagalog na entri kaya siguro ay nararapat lamang na maganda ang aking buena mano.

noon lamang nakaraang biyernes ay naiskedyul kaming mag-sulit para sa lts. sa katunayan, maganda ang simula ng araw para sa akin... maaliwalas ang pag-gising ko, masarap ang almusal, at preskong-presko matapos maligo. ala- siyete pa lamang ng umaga ay kinakaladkad ko na ang kinakalyo kong mga paa sa koridor ng AB. syempre, kailangan ko pang kulabain sa kahihintay dahil alas-otso pa ang aming eksamin. (pero syempre, may inilaan pa rin akong pataan dahil lagi namang nahuhuli ang mga pilipino.) hindi ko lubos akalain na mauubos pala ang baon kong pasensya dahil sa mga susunod na pangyayari.

dumating ang takdang oras. nang mga sandaling yon ay kalmado pa ako. oo, medyo nagtataka at naaalibadbaran na ako pero nakakapagpigil pa rin naman ako. eh, kung ikaw ba naman e ang aga-aga mong gumising para mauna sa pila, tapos pag oras na ng pagpasok sa loob ng silid-aralan e mangunguna pa sayo yung mga kadarating lang! GRRRR!

ewan ko kung naawa ba ang dyos sa akin, pero kami ng aking matalik na kaibigan na si *eherm* michelle, ay nakapasok. pagdating naming dalawa sa loob, may nakita kaagad kaming dalawang upuan. para bang inilaan talaga ng pagkakataon na makapagsulit kami kaagad... pagtapat namin sa upuan, may isang babaeng tumawag ng pansin ni michelle.

"ah miss, may nakaupo na diyan." (sabay kaway pa sa isang kapapasok lang na babae, na parang iniimbitahan nyang umupo kaagad sa dapat ay upuan namin.)

parang nagpanting ang tainga ko sa narinig. sa isip-isip ko, "ows, talaga? kami kasi wala kaming nakikitang nakaupo e. baka ikaw may imaginary friend ka dyan, sabihin mo lang. ay, o nga pala, tangina mo.

pagkatapos ng malasanto kong komento, ay inakay ko na si mich palabas. sabi ko nga sa kanya, maganda ang araw ko, at ayokong mag-bitch sa harap ng mga tao. mahinahon pa ako nun ha.

pasalamat ang mga hindi kagandahang babae na yun. hayup na mga baklang nilupak na yun! pasalamat talaga sila at nakapageksamin kami... kunde... matris lang nila ang walang latay.

hmp.

2006-07-09T17:05:00.000+08:00

hallelujah! just three nights to go before the philippine movie premiere of pirates of the caribbean: dead man's chest. i couldn't tell you just how excited i am for this film. i've been a johnny depp fan as long as i can remember and dead man's chest for me, could be one of the most momentous highlights in johnny depp's career. so depp fans and jdfc members unite for wednesday's screening of dead man's chest. aye aye, maties!

2006-07-07T09:20:00.000+08:00

what is it abouth this week's weather? too many people have fallen prey to the nasty flu... and sad to say, albeit grudgingly, i am also one of the casualties.

and with this note, i would like to send my heartfelt apologies to my dear classmates (i think there were about four of them) who succumbed to my very potent virus. if i had only known it to be such a formidable force, i shouldn't have let myself hug, kiss and chat with you guys... then i wouldn't feel sooo guilty whenever i see you freezing and looking all shitty.

i am truly very sorry guys.

but come to think of it, it doesn't have to always be an inconvenience...

us defense, if you're reading this right now, i am offering you a once in a lifetime deal. what if i can sell you a sample of my ultra mega mega powerful virus? (for a reasonable price, of course *wink*wink*.) see, you can mutate it into a new strain of ebola or even cross it with you know, other deadly viruses like the corona and west nile. huh, fancy that. and then, you can use it for future bio-terrorism purposes! now ain't that a splendid bargain?

2006-07-05T15:53:00.000+08:00

jtdc. last monday has got to be one of my most hellacious days ever. fyi people, i was down with the flu then, and i swear to god i thought i would never see the light of day again.

that day during class, i felt rather chilly... in fact, a lot colder than usual. and by the time i was taking my filipino quiz, i was already feeling mucous trickling down my nose. as anyone would expect of a "i don't give a rat's ass" person like me, i just shrugged it all off, together with the increasingly annoying pounding inside my head. little did i know that later on in the afternoon, it would totally disable me.

to cut the story short my friends, i felt like crap. i couldn't breathe, i was freezing one time, and burning in hell the next. i couldn't eat, my throat hurt and i couldn't sleep. good thing my brother wasn't there to pester and annoy me, or else, i could've been dead right now. buti na lang naawa sa kin ang dyos, pinagpahinga rin ako nung madaling araw na.

moral of the story: always bring an umbrella to protect you from the evil bitch that is rain.

2006-07-02T17:47:00.000+08:00

there are a lot of things going through my mind right now... and i can tell you now these are not happy thoughts. sometimes i get sooo sick and tired of my life i just want to kill m--- somebody. (and you really thought i had the stupidity to kill myself. nah-uh. not me, fellas.) god, i wish there is some way to battle teen depression. hmn...

oh! i know! why don't i just ask johnny depp for the answer?

johnny depp has all the answers you know. you just look at the guy and say, "dang johnny! your hotness transcends even the gravity of my depression. damn. all hail johnny..." then your voice will trail off eerily and alas! all of your woes have gone to timbuktu, thanks to the high and mighty johnny depp.

heck. if only it were that easy.

2006-06-24T20:33:00.000+08:00

i love you. je t'aime mon cherie. cara mia, ti voglio bene. aishiteru wa. mahal kita.

if by some twist of fate i happen to bump into shun - kun... then the phrases above may be the things that i can utter...

*sighs*

yes, i know it's baduy and all, but hey, love can make you flaky and that's a fact! and besides, who can blame me for drooling for a guy like shun - kun? he's not drop dead gorgeous but overall, i think he is pretty attractive (the word "kakoii" comes to mind) plus he's really really likeable and he's a terrific actor too (alang bahid bias yan ah).

but of course, i have things to say to mari too. mari, fyi, is the luckiest bow-legged lass in the whole world, for she has in her possession the thing i yearn for the most. hmp! the nerve of that *bleeps*!

here's to you ms. yaguchi: *beep* you *beep*, i hope you *beep* in *beep* *beep*.

there. i think that about sums up my feelings... and boy, do i feel great. :)

2006-06-09T14:10:00.000+08:00

after importing dramas from our asian neighbors taiwan and korea, filipinos are now witnessing yet another tv drama heavyweight. im talking about the j-dorama, japan's answer to our local hackneyed tv soaps. needless to say, j-doramas here are relatively unknown, except for the kapuso viewers of course, who tune in everyday to watch gokusen.

gokusen, my friends, spearheads GMA's very clever ploy of introducing the j-dorama mania to the unsuspecting pinoy couch potato. ( i for one endorse it, the main reason being the cute japboys starring in the dramas. hehe. ) by the way, for those still oblivious of the new tv hit, here's a quick synopsis...

based on the manga turned anime with the same title, gokusen chronicles the daily struggles of neophyte math teacher kumiko "yankumi" yamaguchi. unfortunately for her, she happens to be teaching the notorious section of 3d in shirokin high; a motley crew of mischievous and trouble-seeking teens. as if that wasn't hard enough, she also has to guard her deepest, darkest secret: she is the only heir to the yakuza clan of ouedo.

i've really grown to love this show not only because of its entertainment factor (not to mention the very cute and lovable shun oguri), but also because of the knowledge yankumi imparts to her students. yes, i know it sounds cheesy especially coming from a person like me. but as an aspiring teacher myself, i really find it helpful identifying with yankumi. i mean, being a teacher is no walk in the park you know. but seeing her satisfaction with the job and the fulfilllment she gets from it, more than encourages me to pursue my teaching career. i only hope i get through college, because if i don't, then this heartfelt entry would be the butt of many jokes. and yours truly would look like a jackass to the readers.

.....

and believe me, that wouldn't be pretty.

2006-05-28T16:40:00.000+08:00

summer is sooo much fun...too bad it's about to come to an end. and because time is running out for me, i figured i might as well post some thoughts on my blog. i may have no time to spare when school's back again y'know. oh, and considering that i'm such a lazy-ass, that may not be far from happening. (heck, i can't even maintain this blog...)

oww, enough of my senseless rants about myself... let me talk about something that's been spreading like wildfire these days! and if you're guessing da vinci code, then you're correct! and congratulations for making me sound like alex trebeck. nyehe.

it's pretty lame for me because i haven't watched the da vinci code yet (obviously due to lack of funds) but i am kinda expecting a lot from it. the da vinci code is spellbinding... i don't know about you but i had a really hard time putting it down, thus putting me in the position to assume that the movie may have a fighting chance in the box office. so far i'm not disappointed with the results. see http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/charts/boxoffice/top_ten.jsp and find out just what critics are raving about.

here are some pics from the da vinci code:

tom hanks as robert langdon... not bad at all.

the stunning audrey tautou with sir ian mckellan. pose for the camera... smile!

of course, would i forget my hunk of the moment paul bettany? 'course not!paul looks pretty, uh, creepy... yikes!

even as an albino, paul still looks caliente. come on, look at him! just that smoldering gaze makes you wanna worship him for life! thank you god and curse you jennifer connelly!

now i do hope i get to watch this film sooner. may it be in the theatre or in the comfort of my own home, dammit, i just gotta watch this. popcorn anyone?

2006-04-11T18:12:00.000+08:00

thank god for giving me the strength to keep on blogging. damn! i really dunno what's come over me, but i've never been soooo drained of uhm, intelligent thoughts. argh, maybe i'm finally paying for watching all those cable shows my handy dandy satellite receiver can acquire. guess ya don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that remote flipping only requires about 5% brain cell activity. aaahhh!!! television is warping my fragile little mind!!!

wait a minute... i'ma have to take that back. it just came to me that i don't always watch nonsensical tv shows... i mean, just last sunday i was watching the gospel of judas on nat geo. that in itself is a sign that i still have my neurons intact, right? and besides, i think i deserve it. after all, the second semester was full of nosebleed inducing shit, and the least a person can do is unwind and do whatever the hell he wants to do come summertime. give the girl with the passing grades a break. ain't that right?

and yes, i am packing on the pounds! remember the gluttony post i did some time last february? i did some little catching up today and unfortunately, the receiver of that uncontrollable urge is my father's perfectly steamed crabs. and maaaan, i'm telling you, i was in cholesterol heaven. mmm-mmmgood. the crab was exquisite! soft white crab meat and sinfully tasty aligue packs a powerful punch, metaphorically and literally speaking. and of course i didn't forget the calamansi+patis+msg+siling labuyo dipping sauce which makes the whole meal come together. yuuummmm!!! (i'm guessing you're hatin me right now huh?)

all the stuff mentioned above may seem a great deal to me, but i guess that what i am most thankful for is the fact that i passed all my subjects this year. i thank god for having mercy on me and letting me pass college algebra and logic... otherwise i may have blasted myself into oblivion for having disappointed my beloved parents. luckily, that didn't happen so hallelujah!

anyways, i've gotta finish reading mary higgins clark's pretend you don't see her. it's kinda bothering to see a lit major discarding the idea of reading, dabah? summertime pa naman. t'was pretty intriguing actually, nothing less from the queen of suspense. intro pa lang yan ha?

oh. and by the way ches, thanks for the adorable teddy bear you gave me. just so you know, i named him heen. hehe. grazie!

the second semester is coming to an end and i feel like i'm gonna be too... damn the piles of assignments, projects and requirements that are to be submitted, damn them all!

heck, if i wasn't always in this constant state of catatonia, then i guess i'd be more productive, ja? but hell no. i just can't seem to remove my nasty habit of perpetual cramming! take our amlit project for example. it's due thursday and guess what... i even haven't started on the title page!

well enough of my crappy study habits... after all, i'm not just the only one guilty. nyehehe.

arrgh... too much fat... can't stop... eating... blech!!!

uhm... just what the hell am i talking about here? one of the seven deadly sins, of course! now if you have an iq of more or less 80, then i presume you'd know what i mean.

gluttony: is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. translation: you stuff your face till your stomach is as hard as your forehead.

people say that judging from the way i look, hindi naman daw ako mukhang matakaw. but then again, i always order them to take a good look at my fat ass and they find out the horrible truth. "syet, oo nga no? ansiba mo!"

hehe. joke lang yun. pero all the fats and calories hang out sa may thighs ko. ala weh, sabi nila cozy daw dun. anyways, balik sa usapan.

bakit ka nyo mas matindi ang paglamon ko ngayon? kasi naman, this week lang eh nagbirthday ako. complete with stroke-inducing, artery-blocking bogchi pa yan ha? for 4 days straight, agahan-tanghalian-hapunan ko ang crispy pata, char-broiled pork chops, ginataang hipon, chopsuey at *tandadadaaaan!!!* how thoughtful, how goldilocks black forest cake. sosyalin... pero sa totoo lang feeling ko sampung taon yata ang nabawas sa buhay ko.

at eto pa nga kamo... kung before, calories and fats lang ang iniintindi ko... ngayon, that's the least na lang of my concerns. pano ba naman... as i was browsing through http://deadlysins.com/, i found out na kapag nagpatuloy pa pala ang ganitong lifestyle ko, pag na-chugi na ko, i-foforce feed nila ako ng mga rats, toads and all sorts of vermin sa hell.

eeeekkk! what should i do? should i quit eating what i love and resort to being vegan, o should i continue to eat sinful delights and die a fulfilled life? whaddya think guys?

*newsflash, you upcoming tub-o-lard, nobody gives a rat's ass! shut your goddamn trap!*

sabi ko nga...

haldol please...

2006-02-20T15:27:00.000+08:00

please, don't expect me to spill intelligible bits of information today. you might end up disappointed. *grins*

earlier today, my classmates and i were in the avr, listening to our professor's lecture. now, i happened to sit right next to my oh-so-talkative (but simply adorable) friend michelle. i wanted to tell you everything that we were babbling about but i'm afraid i'd be taken into the mtrcb office if i did. and so chaos ensued...

now during our stay there, we have come to an agreement. and that is to make our own list of the 10 hottest men ever to grace the face of the universe. [pasintabi na po sa mga inosente dyan... medyo maselan po itong segment ko ngayong araw kaya... tsupi na ang di makaka-carry. ummkay?]

and now, without further ado, the ten hottest men ever!!!

10. hugh jackman

ladies ladies... wipe the drool off your faces and listen. just what is so hot about hugh jackman? well for one, he is aussie so i know you just can't say no to that lovely accent. and my god, look at that ripped body... mapapasyet ka talaga.

9. jake gyllenhaal

first time i saw jake was in the day after tomorrow. he didn't really strike me as cute. in fact, i thought he was rather fugly. but then, i saw him on et a couple of months later, and then i kinda reconsidered. aba eh, aside sa sweet sa gf(ex-bf sya ni kirsten d.), jake also loves animals and take note; he is an ivy league-er. jackpot mga bruha. and look at those expressive eyes... kakayanin nyo ba yang tanggihan?

8. paul bettany

you might have seen him from a knight's tale as poet turned squire geoffrey chaucer... or maybe in wimbledon opposite kirsten dunst. this english actor turned hollywood hottie hails from london (his fair skin and lanky figure is a giveaway) and is bound to take the world by storm. i mean, just look at those blue green eyes and that roguish smile... dammit. this guy is hot.

*a lil bit o trivia... paul is playing the part of silas the albino in the da vinci code so watch out!*

7. heath ledger

obviously this guy can act and as it is, plus point na yon. pero tama ba namang biyayaan pa ng napakagandang mukha? heath, so help me god, pag nakita kita lalapain talaga kita. yun na.

6. gary dourdan

as one saying goes... once you go black, there's no turning back. well, kung ganito ba naman ka pogi ang kasama mo eh talagang wala nang atrasan... look at the eyes, the pecs, the abs... syet, ulam na ulam ito mga lola.

5. channing tatum

look at him... hotness personified. you could just stare at him all day and not get bored. o mga lola, ang mga hasang nyo alive-alive na naman. uhm...

4. johnny depp

johnny depp is god's gift to women. he's handsome, he's talented and he's a family man. *awwwws* and of course, ala na ngang mas hihigit pang criteria for being hot kung sa pagkakakita lang sa kanya eh mapapasigaw ka na ng; "syet!!! pugutan nyo ko ng ulo! pugutan nyo ko!!!"...

3. hugh laurie

watch house and you will know why i'm going nuts for this guy. wow pare galing umarte. i just looove him beyond expression. *seizes*

2. gael garcia bernal

if you don't think gael is hot, then i guess it's either you're blind or you're blind. the green soulful eyes, the kissable lips, the undeniable acting prowess, the everything. i know you are sick of me saying this but i'm gonna say it anyway... gael is one hot piece of ass. at yung mga KABIT jan, sana wag nang mag feeling. ako ang original, pirated lang kayo.

1. adrien brody

this is it. no need to wipe the drool off your face... it's gonna slosh out anyway. it's adrien brody for cryin out loud! ilong pa lang yan ah, pardon me for the language pero makalaglag-undies talaga. damn you for being the hottest man alive. damn you!

with my runner-ups

gimme gimme gimme!!! anybody who can give me a box o' these teuscher champagne truffles will *eherm* have the rare chance of having me as your p.a.. for a month! ain't that a great offer? it's valentines day and so i reckon you shouldn't deprive a person of some luvin (even though it's for a price *winkwink*). whaddya waiting for? buy now!

oh, before i forget, a 36 oz 72 piece teuscher chocolate box costs 144 dollars. don't you just love me?

2006-02-08T12:49:00.000+08:00

boy, do i feel holy. not!

just finished the mass our faculty was holding. in case you don't know, our faculty is celebrating it's 42nd year of foundation. it was nothing really, just a simple mass... you know the works. at least yours truly did not doze off (courtesy of my really talkative friend, JD). geez, all of a sudden, i had this urge to rush to the confession booth and purge myself of my horrible sins...

yeah, like that's gonna happen. tough luck.

oh, i'm bored. what do you say we play a game of 'guess who?' you're 'it'.

he practically has no manners, cranky, brutally honest, sarcastic and anti-social but at the same time brilliant, caring, hardworking, funny, charming and *arrestingly* handsome. (ok, must've been a lil biased there, but believe me, you ain't seen nothing yet...)

sirit na? it's none other than...

tada!!! did you guess right? if you watch fox's hit tv show, you'd ace the answer. (well duh)

for those who do not recognize greatness, he is gregory house, from tv's house,md. i have become a cult follower of the show, and it is rather obvious that i am exhibiting a bad case of obsessive compulsiveness because of it. i don't remember the last time that i have not thought about house... god, i think i'm already a house-freak! i mean, could you blame me? aside from the annoyingly beautiful cast, the script is also amazingly written. if you like a good dose of humor and sarcasm fused into one, then house is the show to watch. and if that isn't your thing, you could also watch it for the intellectual part. i mean, wouldn't it be cool to scare your friends into quitting television by telling them that too much watching can lead to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis? hehe. i bet they'd be scared as hell.

and for that, i am giving out a warning. the high-rating drama house which features a team of talented doctors and their painfully brilliant mentor may prove addictive. viewer discretion is not advised.

2006-02-04T17:51:00.000+08:00

i know, my blog looks shitty. so do i.

for my fellow bloggers (and classmates) who have no idea where i've been for the past few days... well, you guys might be wondering what happened to me. actually, i got sick. and yes, i am human and i do get sick, thank you very much. => it wasn't that serious, just high fever and bouts of asthma. y'all don't have to worry, i'd still be here to give you a good dose of mumbo jumbos and other crap.

now here's the good part. as the "film enthusiast" that i say i am, i am going to present you with the movies that i think you should definitely not miss. i hope you like my chosen roster of movies... enjoy.

TRANSAMERICA

transamerica is about a conservative transsexual woman, bree, who is about to undergo her last sexual rearrangement procedure. just weeks before the scheduled operation, she receives a call from toby, a rebellious teenage boy who claims to be her son. bree finds out that toby is indeed her son, when she was still a he. the next string of events is bound to tickle and warm your hearts as both characters embark on a journey and discover the magic of their connection.

you got to trust me on this one. i've just finished watching this and there is nothing bad i can say. i really liked how felicity huffman delivered a solid performance... i mean it was almost like she WAS a transsexual. wow, i was sooo into the film i forgot i had pe class in the afternoon. whoops! sorry ms. ragunton, i just had to finish it. i just had to.

CAPOTE

capote is about writer truman capote, who is in the midst of making his book "In Cold Blood" an account of a murder of a Kansas family. Whilst making the book, he develops a close relationship with one of the killers.

sounds intriguing huh? when i was watching the golden globes last month, i thought philip seymour hoffman did not deserve to win best actoragainst my bet, heath ledger. but then, i searched the net for information about his movie and i think i might be wrong. dead wrong.

WALK THE LINE

walk the line is a biopic of the infamous country singer johnny cash. haven't seen this one yet, though it is already showing right now. now, why should you watch the movie? for one, like brokeback mountain and memoirs of a geisha, it's gotten rave reviews and it's also gotten tons of awards (mostly for actors joaquin and reese). so if you like music and drama, why not watch walk the line? i'm sure it won't disappoint you.

MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA

okay. i really don't have to explain why you should watch mog... but in case you don't know why, i'll tell you. it's awesome. period.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

if you're one of my classmates, you're probably too tired of hearing this. so i'll make it short . it's gay. it's great. go watch it or else i'll come to your sleep and smother you with a pillow. ok? ok.

2006-01-21T17:06:00.000+08:00

prelim week is finally over, and now i can officially take a rest. No more cramming, no more sleepless nights and no more nose bleeding. thank god i'm still alive. oh, i almost forgot! just yesterday i watched the dvd of the pianist which was lent to me by my very gracious and kind friend. (lam mo na kung sino ka... :)) all i could say is that i was never wrong in admiring adrien brody's acting prowess (not to mention his killer good looks, too). the movie totally blew me away and i highly recommend it.

just finished p.e. class today and i would say it's pretty much like all the other weeks. except that maybe it could've gone interesting if only i didn't have my pe class on saturday!!! fyi, today is the day that mick foley, the wrestling legend, visits sm north edsa! and by god i really did blew my once in a lifetime chance of meeting him. wtf?! i mean, why did he have to come at 12 noon? he should have at least went before five... now i'm sitting here, moping and whining and at the same time, typing... (sorry for the rhyme) unggghhh... i can't believe this! i didn't even catch a glimpse of him. not even his shadow! *sighs* oh shucks, i guess i'd have my chance next time. besides, there's no use crying over spilled milk. right?

hmn... what else is to say??? oh... i think i now remember. as i was passing by cfad earlier i saw somewhat of a commotion goingon. i looked around and saw a big shiny light bulb and a camera. at first i thought commarts students were directing some kinda film but it turns out to be a shooting! not the kind with guns but with those of celebrities. i saw jake cuenca, a local tv actor. actually he was kinda cute and the guy was soooo white, i couldn't even tell him from a block of cottage cheese. uhmm, i think they were filming for a new tv commercial. heard it was for chippy, but i'm not that certain.

oh, and that's just about saturday for me.

2006-01-17T09:44:00.000+08:00

finally, the long wait is over.

after a month long hiatus, yours truly is back for yet another serving of spunk and b*tchiness. (ha!)

so why don't i tell you what's kept me busy in the past couple of weeks? i'm sure you guys still haven't heard of the whole story right? after all, i was too busy fattening up my ass to even take the time to go to a nearby internet cafe. ergo, let's go straight to the nitty gritty...

since we were in a holiday break, of course, what logical thing is there to do but eat? well, hello. i admit i kinda gained a few pounds. point in fact, i don't even seem to fit in my skit anymore! ok, maybe i was exaggerating a lil bit... but aside from stuffing my face, i also took time to watch marathons of two of my favorite shows in the whole wide world!!! syempre ano pa nga ba kundi jewel in the palace and south park. career kung career ito. if i'm not mistaken, jitp has a total of 70 episodes (1 hour per ep) + the two hour special. you do the math. with south park, i watched seasons 1-8 (except for season 6, coz they didn't have it, to my dismay). and if you're thinking if i had anything else to do, well i don't think so. my routine was like this: eat, clean, bathe, watch, eat again, watch then sleep. it's that simple. syempre naman ala akong pera, pano mo naman ii-expect na makaalis ako no... tsktsk.

so let's go back to the present.

an hour ago, i just finished the second round of my prelim exams. it was in philippine literature and logic and boy, it doesn't look good. earlier during the exams, i felt like ramming my head into a solid brick wall. i mean, whatever happened to the reviewing i did last night? it all seemed like this gargantuan blur of thoughts. i felt like shit. and i thought today i'd do better because yesterday, i did so-so on my american lit exam... oh nooo, what's gonna save me now from the fiery pits of debarment hell??? help!!!

2005-12-06T13:24:00.000+08:00

i'm feeling rather snotty today, and i reckon you already know why. i'm also having major headaches and it's really bugging me. i'm actually not in the mood to write, but i've no other sensible thing to do, so i just went ahead.

how do i begin to explain the events that transpired this afternoon? goddamnit, i was being stupid again. did you know i couldn't get into our apartment because of my bloody key? i forgot to frickin' put it in my school bag and ergo, i would have to loiter outside the building for hmn, 4 hours. ain't that nice? absobloodylutely.

i'm running out of ideas so i guess i'll just blab about anything that pops into my mind... :D

hmn, did you know that gael can speak four languages? (yup, you heard me right.) aside from his native tongue (which is spanish), he can also speak english, italian and french. (darnit... what can't he do?) and aside from that juicy piece of trivia, did you also know that gael dated natalie portman for over a year? tsktsk, what a lovely couple they must've looked like. but, i guess gael was not really meant for nat... coz he was destined for me. ;) lol

ever heard of the mtv animated series daria? it's one of my fave shows and it's about a girl named daria, who tries to make it through highschool with as little human contact possible. this girl lacks self-esteem and enthusiasm, but she more than makes up for it with sarcasm and cynicism.

to tell you the truth, i kinda identify with her because sometimes i feel alienated too. it may not seem obvious but i really do share her sentiments. eek! i can't believe i'm even saying this...

and to finish my seemingly boring entry, i would like to quote from my role model, daria morgendorffer.

- " Sometimes your shallowness is so thorough, it's almost like depth."

2005-12-05T18:23:00.000+08:00

fellow bloggers, sorry to have kept you waiting. i apologize for the delay. see, i haven't had the chance to come up with a good enough blog entry to post so i thought i would not do so yet. but luckily, the heavens smiled at me today and alas! here i am putting my thoughts into, uhm... my blog.

i admit, i was kinda lazy these past few days. heck, you really couldn't blame me, could you? i mean, wouldn't you feel as well if you had tons of assignments to do, piles of reading selections to read, and plenty of papers to research? damn, i think i'm gonna have an aneurysm for crying out loud. stop it already dear professors, you're all killing me!!!

moving on...

last week, my brother and i went to sm san lazaro to watch the premiere of harry potter and the goblet of fire. it was nice coz my classmates were also there. miguel, kevin, rose ann and i sat on the same row, while my brother chose to sit far back.hmn, i guess he wanted to scam on cute guys alone. ;) the first 2o minutes before the film were gruelling for me. i had to endure some crappy opm songs (hey, i'm not saying opm sucks, it's just that mymp isn't my cup of tea.), the appetizing aroma wafting all around and of course ang pangungulet ni kevin. 'til now, i still couldn't believe how i got through it. hehe. as for the movie, i'd say it was good. gof was a hilarious, edge of your seat adventurous romp. rating: 8/10. i suggest you see it in a theatre near you if you still haven't watched it.

last tuesday, the 1lit class had the rare priviledge of attending a lecture by no less than the high priestess/empress of philippine poetry, Dr. Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta. (now that's what i call one hell of an introduction... ;>) saying that the event was awesome, is an understatement. all i know is that i'd give anything in the world to relive that moment again. ( but then, i wouldn't trade my gael for anything. )

the following day meant another victory for me. for the second time, our class was requested to attend another lecture. and that means there is no last period. (alang pgc!!! yahooo!!!!) lam nyo naman kasi, pag pgc below sea level ang utak ng lola nyo. anyways, the lecturer for that day was no other than literary critic, Isagani Cruz. t'was memorable for me coz i learned an awful lot from him, and he was also very funny i could'nt help but giggle. too bad Nick Joaquin already passed away. but then again, all of these would never have happened if he didn't. may God rest his soul.

hmn, and earlier today, i attended a poetry forum. tee-hee... i kinda enjoyed myself coz the speakers were very enlightening and not to mention very amusing, especially lourd ernest de veyra and paolo manalo. both were very funny yet they had this way of making you uhm, learn from them. well, isn't that the best day a girl could evere ask for?
