NIGHT SHIFT
(728 @ the 11th hour)

At the strike of the 10th hour -
lights turned on
eyes at work
though tired and weary
bodies attuned to the sound
of croaking frogs
of dilapidated electric fans
and hungry stomachs
waiting to be fed.

Enjoy the coffee, not the cup.

2006-08-20T14:44:00.000+08:00

Enjoy the coffee, not the cup.

A GROUP of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: Porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."

"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life. But the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So please, don't let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee.

Reflection: Obviously this refers to those who have made it in life, not those who are struggling to make both ends meet.

These are the people who are making more money or acquiring a bigger or additional house (when others can't even own a shanty), or owning a fleet of cars (when others can't afford a tricycle fare). Yet they complain they're stressed out, feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.

What's really life on earth for? Is it only a pursuit for money and the good life?
While these are part of life, there's more to it than physical and material gratifications. We're not just physical creatures but spiritual. Moreover, we find happiness and fulfillment by stepping out of our comfort zones and reaching out to others?

Remember the rich young man in the gospel? He was seeking the answer to his gnawing emptiness despite all his wealth. Unfortunately, he could not part with it as Christ told him and so he went away SAD! (Read Matthew 19:16-24).

So, remember: Enjoy the coffee, not the cups.

Who am I?

2006-08-16T17:58:00.000+08:00

Who am I?

I am a fan of happy endings. Although I sometimes appreciate tragic endings, I always cry at the fact that, heck, this world of ours really isn't perfect (admit it or not, we pretend that it is a perfect world most of the time). I dream to have a sanely happy ending of my own.

I love the oldies songs. They really make sense - lots of sense - and the songs are made of exquisite lyrics, unlike today's novelty songs which are enough to make one sick by just listening to one line.

I believe in the power of love, though I haven't proven its reality yet. I fall for certain people for a certain length of time but the feeling fades away easily. That isn't love, I'm pretty sure. (Aww, this makes me sound love-hungry.) I'm no hopeless romantic now, mind you.

I write to express myself and pour out my sentiments. I write usually out of impulse. I think, therefore, I write.

I pretend to be obsessed to be noticed. I dress up as a happy clown for people to recognize my presence and to drown the sad person in me. I am a human being too - I sometimes crave for attention like the rest. It's actually nice to know that someone knows that you are there.

I talk to myself when no one is ready to listen. I usually observe the world and tell myself what I think about what I see.

If all of those make me weird, go ahead and call me one. At least, mediocrity is out of my vocabulary. =)

Ekay!

UPCAT - finally over.

2006-08-05T17:38:00.000+08:00

Ayun naman yon. Napakasaya ko kasi tapos na ang UPCAT. Yes, sa wakas, 2 CETs na lang. Isa yung ACET tapos yung sa PSBA. ACET is on September, PSBA - no idea.

Ang schedule ko ng UPCAT ay:

Saturday, August 5, 2006, College of Business Administration

At kanina nga yon, sabi ko nga.

Nakarating kami sa UP ng mga 5:30 tapos medyo naligaw kami sa may Math Building kasi dun kami dumaan sa shortcut at hindi namin dineretso ang Katipunan. Mabuti na lang at maraming nakakalat na mamang guard doon. Medyo nakakalito nga lang yung sinabi nung isa... pero at least, narating namin ng maluwalhati ang Business Admin ng mga quarter to 6. Ayos.

Nagpark kami sa tabi ng building ko. Tapos, nakita ko si Julie [Dairo] at di ko alam na may iba pa pala akong ka-schedule. Tapos bigla na lang sumulpot sina Jena [Chua], Riezel [Briones], Alyssa [Ricabo] at [si Andrea ba yon?]. Ang hindi ko nakita ay si Mau. Ano ba naman yon. Pero ayos lang, sige. Di ko rin naman mahihingan ng sagot yon, di ba? [Oy, di ako nandaya kanina, baka akalain nyong ganito pala ako mag-isip at kumilos!]

Pumila na kami sa tapat ng pintuan ng building ng mga 6:00. Syempre dun na ako sa may harap para makapasok agad. By batch kasi, kung sino maunang pumasok, magkakasama sa isang room. Kaya naman sa room namin, 5 kaming Kulasa [except Julie and Mau] at ayos naman. Aircon ang aming kwarto, Room 303 ng Business Ad. Kakaiba ang mga upuan kasi ganito: bawat row, may 4 chairs na pang-apat na tao [malamang...] tapos yung 4 chairs na yon ay magkakaconnect. Anlabo nga eh. Di ba dapat magkakalayo man lang kasi nga exam yon? Weird. Kaya naman ayon.

Mga 30+ kami sa kwartong iyon, malamig [na malamig] kaya medyo hindi comfortable. At ayun, mga 7:00 nagsimula ang test, pagkatapos ng mga shading-shading ng pangalan at explanations ng instructions.

At nagpatuloy ang pagdurusa hanggang mga 11:30/11:45.

Hindi na nga ako nakakain/nakainom maliban sa isang pirasong Mentos [binili ko pa yung madami..] tapos onting inom ng tubig para di mahilo. Humingi pa nga yung examiner namin ng candy. Tsk, akala ko i-coconfiscate niya. Hindi yata pwede yon no! Tch.

Grabe, ang lamiiig sa loob ng room. Kung kailan patapos na ang test eh tsaka ako kinilabutan sa lamig. Kakaiba.

Tapos, lumabas kami sa back part ng building para walang traffic sa amin ng next batch.

At ayun, umuwi na kami. Haay salamat.

[Ok lang yung test kaso di ko natapos ang Math. Medyo nabaliw ako sa Science pero ok lang yung English.]

ACET pa...

Bring back the old times.

Barely Breathing ~cxlv-dccxxv

Ahh, the cold air of a rainy day bids me a good morning, but I continue to hide inside my blanket to force myself to sleep. Well, no one can stop me since classes are suspended once more (to my relief, I guess) and I have nothing much to do - except to fret about future tests. Who cares about the future anyway? Let me live my life a day at a time! And so I go deeper into my sheets, probably trying to enjoy the coldness and at the same time trying to find some warmth. Now, how could that be? But that actually doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that I could not find any ounce of strength to help myself to get out of the bed. Yup, that's right - I have no inspirationto wake up and function as a sane human being. It couldn't be my family - I should have stood up immediately. But hey, I have done my part - I have washed the dishes and done the uniforms so that would be okay. I'm still longing for you, I guess. I missed you because you were someone who understood me - my complexities, my worries, my eccentricities and all of those sort. It's been two days and for those two days, I have been asking God to stop the heavy downpour of rain so that I could see you the following day. I know it would be impossible for you to go to my place (do you even know where I live?) so I forced myself out of my comfort zone. I continue to plod on my day - with my jacket on to give me warmth - but still I hope you'd come - or call, at least. And so I continue to wish that classes won't be suspended tomorrow - God knows how I totally missed freaking out at school and how I missed talking to you. The rain has stopped, finally. I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow then.

[2nd literary work under the cxlv penname]

Bumabawi lang sa malaking kahinayangan.

2006-07-29T21:29:00.000+08:00

Dahil kanina ay nagtype ako ng matino at nawala lang ang lahat, babawiin ko na lang sa pamamagitan ng reflection paper ko sa CLE tungkol sa human dignity. Gaya-gaya kay Lara. Naiingit ako kaya sige, ako rin!

God is a genius - really.

My brother, a Grade 4 student, was preparing for his second long test in Science. I wasn't shocked to see that their lessons are on anatomy because they were dealing about the different systems - digestive, muscular, skeletal, etc. Then, he asked me to review him about the types of muscles - he asked me to tell him the type of muscle then he will tell me where it can be found in the body and he will tell me if that particular muscle is voluntary or involuntary. I could say that he had reviewed pretty well on the topic - he got everything right. After our question-and-answer portion, I told him, "Paano kaya kung baliktad ang muscle types - naging voluntary ang involuntary at naging involuntary ang voluntary?" If that would be the case, then, we have to think of our every heartbeat, our every digestive activity and our muscular movements could not be controlled! That would be hard for us because to miss a heartbeat is to delay the proper flow of blood; to forget a digestive activity will prolong the absorption of necessary nutrients, and for our body to be uncontrollable is a very awkward sight. And with all of these in mind, I thought, "GOD MUST BE A GENIUS TO HAVE THOUGHT OF ALL THESE!" Of course He is a genius - He fashioned everything - yes, from the smallest ant on the ground to the largest planets in the Milky Way. He is wondrous and astounding [go ahead; add all the words synonymous to the two].

He created everything to perfection - He did not just create man and said, "This will do" but instead, He said that He will create man in His image and likeness. He created our bodies perfectly - He placed everything in the right place [I have been constantly thinking how people would look if God placed the head on another location - that would totally look weird!]. And because man is created in God's likeness, man possesses God-like characteristics - we were created with the ability to think, to love and to choose. We can express our thoughts, we can share God's love to others and we can make choices because of our free will. God is really all-knowing - He created us in a way that we can function fully as humans and He blessed us with gifts - lots and lots of gifts, including those that God gave us without us asking for it. He is truly generous and loving because He gave us dignity and He made us the crown of His creation - to think that we were made from nothing; He turned us into SOMETHING worth knowing, something that would rule over all His works. He made our body the dwelling place of the Spirit. Now, isn't that dignifying enough?

However, we forget the fact that the Holy Spirit resides in each of us - we tend to abuse our bodies by pushing it to the limits. We sleep late at night [most of the time, I stay up really late to do things - I'm very guilty of this], we forget to nurture our bodies, enrich our minds with good information, live out the fruits of the Spirit and take care of our spiritual well-being. This should not be the case because if we neglect taking care of our bodies, we will end up with bodies that are unable to function fully because of diseases, indifference for the things around us, and emotional weakness and spiritual dryness. God gave us our bodies to take care of it - actually, our bodies do not belong to us. Our bodies belong to God, who, in His ultimate goodness, gave us life to enjoy everything that He Himself created. The greatest glorification that we can make to God's creation is to enjoy life - to respect it and to live it to the fullest. Since the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, we must be healthy - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - so that the Spirit will always dwell within us. Not only should we respect our own body and our individuality; we should also respect other people. Because we are persons created in the image and likeness of our Creator, we are unique yet we are all equal in His sight. God made us the crown of His creation; therefore, we must live up to our title. We should all be quality workers for our Almighty Creator. He created us to perfection; we should give our best to stay good with the use of our resources. He gave us what we need; we should MAXIMIZE it. But hey, we need some rest too. Remember, God rested too on the seventh day. Tire not your body; you will never know when God will call you for a mission.

T'was a day.
Ordinary? I don't think so.
To find oneself picking up memories together with someone *ehem* so memorable.
Blissful. Ecstatic. Heaven.

And yes, the memories were all written on paper...
memories of x's and y's and 1's in the seas of letters...
memories of failing to cancel out the b's and simplifying x2-6x+9...

T'was a scene someone *ehem* longed to take place.
And yes it did.
Romantic?
Hmm, rather abstract.
Or better yet, ALGEBRAIC.

~07-21-06 ^_^
You SHOULD know what I'm trying to say here. =)

Terry, I wonder too.

2006-07-15T17:40:00.000+08:00

I wonder.

Yes, I wonder. My friends think that when I wonder, I’m childish.

I told them once that whenever that I ride the train and look at all those people with me, coincidentally riding the same train at the same time with me, I think how wonderful it is for this “coincidence” to happen. It feels so wonderful to realize that you are a part of the larger world. That these entire people are converged in one single place with only a single purpose in mind.

And you know what my friends told me?

"You're so silly, while I think of how late the train is you are thinking of simple things. Childish ka talaga!"

Hehe..

Childish ba ako?

What is wrong with the sense of WONDER?

-Taken from Terry's blog, February 21, 2006 post

I dropped by Terry's blog just a while ago and browsed through her old posts [I think she rarely has the time to update her blog. =)] and found this particular post.

And something [or someone] inside me laughed at the thought that someone I know is just like me. Remember my very first LRT ride? [Just see the archives last May if you haven't read it.] I was astonished by the number of people there, you see, I'm a homebody so I don't usually go out and see the world. The people in the mall, of course, is a different thing. I mean, augh, it's hard to explain. Maybe it's that "coincidence" Terry is trying to say.

Her friends tell her she's childish and silly. But I think that Terry has no problem. Her friends are just worldly people who focus on the quick passing of time and the necessity of hurrying to catch up with time. Terry tries to unwind, to slow down a bit and think of things. That would be better than fretting about the late train because fussing about it won't do anything. It's not actually productive. What's more, fussing can add stress, right? Terry simply takes the time off - there's no time to waste actually.

And I suddently remembered, gawds. Time is actually running past me. And yes, I think I need to catch up. To. Do. That. Horrid. Draft.

Just dropped an opinion here. I gotta go, dearies. Hello Terry if you happen to read. Thanks for the inspiration, if you don't mind me posting your post here. =)

Malaking sikreto to.

2006-07-14T18:49:00.000+08:00

Malaking sikreto to pero lantaran kong ibubulgar. Ano ba yon? E di tula. Balak kong i-submit kay Macky. Kapag lumabas to sa Blue Heights, alam nyo na kung sino ang gumawa. Secret na lang ang tinutukoy. Wahaha. ^_^

Malapit nang mahulog.

2006-07-09T16:39:00.000+08:00

Hindi ko ito ninais. Hindi ko rin alam kung paano, bakit at kailan. Pero eto na nga ako. Nagtataka kung bakit ito ang nararamdaman ko. Ayoko sana ng ganito - pilit kong iwinawaksi pero laging bumabalik. Anong bang meron ka?

Ayokong malaman mo kung sino ka dahil hindi rin naman ako sigurado dito. Ayoko ng ganito dahil gusto kong normal lang ang lahat. Masyado lang akong naguluhan. Ako ba'y nahuhulog na sa patibong mo?

Kasulukyang nababaliw sa mga henyong short hair tulad ni Shigeru. Tch.

Ladidada. Hmph.

2006-07-09T15:27:00.000+08:00

I have tons of things to do, I guess. Let me first have a rundown of those things:

1) My Computer HW is waiting to be written on a 1/2 crosswise. Let that wait. :P
2) I have yet to look for atherosclerosis & arteriosclerosis. Goodness.
3) When, dearies, is the deadline for the CLE draft!? Drats.
4) Hmm, my articles for BH. And hopefully, a poem. Yaps. Good. I have it already.
5) Attend a BH meeting tomorrow.
6) Set a deadline for the character sketches with Icha. And the survey too. Gosh.
7) A long test on AA on Wednesday (!!).
8) Relax on Tuesday, feastday of St. Benedict. And the birthday of Julia and Lyka.

Well, that's not tons after all. Tch.

I changed my template. I think it's better rather than give my visitors headaches on finding the navis. Hmm. I'm terribly sorry if my stuffs are getting more nonsensical per release. I just don't have all the time to write sensibly.

Updates on BH:
Lo and behold. The new editorial board and staff.

Editor-in-Chief: Ragene Palma
Associate Editor: Joanne Sheana Baltazar
Managing Editor: Krizelle Lacson
News Editor: Precious Angeles
Feature Editor: Patrizia Marcelo
Literary Editors: Margarita Cruz (English), Krizelle Talladen (Filipino)
Sports Editor: Bianca Perez
Entertainment Editor: Abygail Villafuerte
Art Editor: Anjelica Lopez

The BH paper everyone would be receiving is not the usual broadsheet as before. It's going to be 3 different -what, newspapers?- things (?). The Newsletter is separated from the Blah Newsletter (but of course, it's not going to be called Blah - it's just the features, entertainment, etc.) and hopefully, we'll also have the Calliope, BH's literary herald. I'm just not sure if a Newsletter would be released each month. That would mean loads of work to do, besides CETs, school work and others.

The staffers are going to have a pin! Yeehee! But, gawds, I hope they give it to us before MARCH. Or that would be totally useless. Hahas.

So that would be all guys. Gonna keep you posted if I can. Ta-ta~!

That's what you call artistic flair.

2006-07-02T20:01:00.000+08:00

Art Elevates Man’s Dignity

Almost everywhere we look, there is art and every creative work heightens the appreciation of human dignity. If not for art, there would be a little discrepancy between the human being and animals. Art signifies intelligence, for one who creates art has the ability to capture the beauty of changing nature – to trap nature in its bathing glory in its own time. Art shows that man is creative – that he is able to use his resources to create something new with the use of his mind and his artistry. It shows not only the artistic skills of man but also man’s rich culture – it reveals his beliefs, traditions and his way of life. Man is able to describe them best through his creations. Not only does art allow man to replicate what he sees; he is able to express his insights, his emotions, his wishes and aspirations. He is able to communicate to others his reality as well as his fantasies. Through art, man can express his joy and sorrow, and also his dream to live in a land flowing with milk and honey. Art is witness to man’s evolving intelligence and awareness about the occurrences around him; therefore, art is the living proof of man’s blooming abilities and of the improvement of his skills. This shows that man is more than what the animals are – he is created in the image and likeness of his Creator. He is not merely a wandering creature but an intelligent being that is capable of giving life and adding color to his world and to others.

P.S. Sorry for not having updated you for the third week. That's how busy I am. But anyway, here's the latest: I am the new Ente Editor. Weird but I think it's cool. At least I wasn't assigned to Sports. That would be the sickest joke I would ever hear. Hahas.

And yes, I am asking for PALANCAs. Please do give me one (or two if you can manage) before our retreat date [which we do not exactly know when]. Rumor has it that Angela goes to Tagaytay on the second week of July - which is pretty, pretty near. But, gee, I hope that's just a rumor. I would like to collect PALANCAs (with an S) before we go. The search is on for the best Palanca. : )

Second week updates.

2006-06-16T20:00:00.000+08:00

Monday - 06-12-06
Had no classes last Monday because of the Independence Day celebration. Blissful.

Tuesday - 06-13-06
Jobie's first day. Started with Stats instead of AA. Passed my UPCAT form to Ate Dada. Mission accomplished.

Wednesday - 06-14-06
Talked about hacking in Computer. More on Statistics - gah, listening to so much speech is boring. I prefer solving than just listening. Augh. Had double period in Physics, first hour in the library, the latter in the Physics lab.

Thursday - 06-15-06
Mom and Dad's 16th wedding anniversary. Voted for Angela and Mindy as level reps. Watched a documentary in Music. Went to the CAI room in Physics. Had our guidance test instead of Stats. Miraculous. Made visuals for reporting in Pinoy. Recited at CLE and was not questioned. Awesome. Watched "With Honors" in English.

Friday - 06-16-06
Angela and Mindy are the new 4th year level reps. Had two quizzes in Physics. Enjoyed Stats so much. Continued making visual aids in Pinoy. Watched the unfinished parts in "With Honors". Auditioned once more for Blue Heights. Loved the vocab part and the "Who am I?" but not the news writing. I really suck at that. Badness.

That would be all. I think almost all my juices were poured out for the "success" of my auditioning.

Feeling guilty for not blogging for 5 days.

2006-06-09T23:33:00.000+08:00

Am finally back after an attempt of adjusting my mind to the school mode. It's darn tough to focus once more on acads when I spent all my summer days in front of the blazing monitor and occasional trips to places outside Rizal.

First day is quite okay. Neat. Weird in some ways. Noisy. Messy. Not knowing 75% of the class. Good I had Vina. And the others. Seriously, I could not possibly survive my first week without friends & acquaintances. Gah.

As usual, I'm seated again - for the darney balarney nth time - at the back. Yeah, the back. But good thing I have my specs with me. I have expected this all the time. The back once more for the second time around. (Now that sounded stupid. And pathetic. I mean, what does that have to do with this crap anyway?) Gah.

Got a new friend. Weeh! Japy. I've been seeing her since last year, being with Rienna since they were Hildegardians before. And yah, I think she was the one who placed first in the essay contest-like contest in second year (while I surprisingly got the second place for my crappy work. Oh crap. The word sounds... well, crappy.). We have a lot of similarities I guess, she's quiet if she likes, writes a lot, and writes, and writes. Fun to be with, unlike some who would frequently bring out their mirrors to check if their hair is perfectly in place.

Met a lot of new peeps. There's Rev, Nona, Cams, Anna, Margie and the others. And Tinee too. Although saying her name reminded me of one thing: my dog. I named my dog Tini but the pronunciation is heckingly the same. But Tinee is not Tinee really. Celestine. Plus e. Tinee. Keeyuut.

Hmm. Too zonked to write some more. What can I say? Nah. Sleepy too. Gotta write if my thoughts are on the right place. BTW, I almost fell out of my chair *not literally though* with Mrs. Ovalles' jokes. Haha. Darney. She's so funny and so cute. I hope the time won't come when I will get my hands on her for some pinching. On the cheeks. Aah. Bliss. :D

The Adventures of Dadji and Atchi (Part 2)

2006-06-03T15:34:00.000+08:00

Hindi ko akalaing may part 2 pa ang aming commuting adventure. Pero yung kahapon, e sobrang mas hanep pa kaysa sa trip to St. Scho namin noon na sobrang malapit lang. Paano kasi, Makati yung destinasyon namin kahapon. Tapos magcocommute! E di ayos!

Ang Imbitasyon

Kahapon ng umaga (ka-umaga?!), nagtatapos ng mga reports sina Marmar at Dadji at pati ako nakikitulong. Tapos noong mga 1:30 ata ng hapon, sabi ni Dadji, aalis na daw siya. Niyayaya niya si Jobitats pero di sumama kasi nga may Naruto siya at Yugi-Oh kaya ako naman ang tinignan ni Dadji. Oo naman ako para exciting. Aba, bihira lang ako makapagcommute tapos may kasama pa ako! E Makati na ang pinag-uusapan, siyempre, iba na ang dating non! Dali-dali akong naligo at nagbihis (first time kong 5 mins. lang sa banyo. haha!) kasi si Dadji yung tipo ng tao na hindi inaaksaya yung oras kaya sobrang nagmadali ako dahil ayoko rin namang ako ang dahilan ng pagkadelay niya.

Excited?!

Sa sobrang excitement ko, binuksan ko na yung gate at halos lumabas na ng bahay. Nakalimutan kong magkokotse muna kami tapos bababa na sa may Q Plaza. Hehe. Akala ko maglalakad kami palabas ng gate at lahat. Ban lang pala, hindi sira ang kotse. Buti na lang!

Dun sa sakayan ng jeep...

Ayun. E di sumakay kami ng jeep papuntang LRT. Ayos lang naman. Walang masamang loob. Kaso nga lang, kahit na tumakbo na kami sa may daanan ng tao, umalis na yung tren. Haha. Minamalas nga naman. Pero, that time, di pa kami nakakakuha ng pass kaya ayos lang.

Sa may istasyon.

Andaming tao sobra. Pero mas madami pihado sa pasukan. Siguro di lang ako sanay sa mga matataong lugar na tulad non kaya madami ang tingin ko. Sinusundan ko na lang si Dadji sa pasikot-sikot kasi nga neophyte pa ako. Haha.

E di pumila na kami sa may kuhanan ng pass. Sinabi ni Dadji kung pano. Na-gets ko naman. Tapos pinapanood ko rin yung mga nasa harapan ko. Aba. Mahirap nang mapahiya. Malalaman nilang di ako sanay! 0_o Kaso nga lang, anak ng pating na shark, hindi tinanggap yung 20 pesos ko nung makina! Kung sa bagay, medyo dilapidated na nga yung bill. E di nakipila na lang ako kay Daddy (naghiwalay kasi kami ng pila para kung anong mauna, dun). Tapos, buti naman, tinanggap yung mga bills namin kasi wala pang bills si Dadji noon.

First time ko siyempre dun sa may lagayan nung pass. Haha. Kailangan palang ipasok dun yung card, tapos kukunin ulit at hahawakan hanggang makaabot sa babaan kung hindi, hindi ka makakalabas!

Sasakay na tayo sa tren...

Ayos sa loob ng LRT. Malamig. Maraming upuan. Hindi masikip. Yun ay noong papunta palang kami ng Katips station. Tapos dumami ang tao. Pero ayos lang. Nakaupo naman kami. :D

Naalala ko tuloy yung pre-recorded voice na nagsasabing, "Paparating na sa Anonas station." Haha. Hanep.

Tapos na ang maliligayang sandali.

Bumaba kami sa Araneta Center/Cubao station. Laking gulat ko nang nakaharap ko ang Gateway. Pasensya. First time ko kasi kaya di ako mapakali. Titingin-tingin ako habang tumatakbo dahil sa sobrang bilis ni Dadji. Tapos, dumaan kami sa Araneta Center. Woohoo. Bilis pa rin ni Dadji. Sobra.

Tapos, sinabi pa ni Dadji, "Wala namang masyadong naaaccomplish kapag naglalakad lang e di bilisan mo na para walang oras na maaaksaya. At makakabuti sa katawan ang brisk walking." Oo nga naman ano. E di sige. Lakad pa rin.

Whew! Hottah, hottah!!

Umabot na rin kami sa wakas sa bilihan ng pass. Medyo mahaba ang pila pero tuloy-tuloy naman ang pag-andar kaya ayos lang. Ayan sige. Sasakay na naman ng tren! Papunta na kami ng Buendia! Hanep!

MRT na to!

Ayan. Tulad ng inaasahan, hindi na kami nakaupo sa dami ng tao. E di siyempre nakatayo kami. Pero hindi ako nalungkot o napagod. Nakakatuwa nga eh. Hehe.

"Manong, first time mo rin ba?!"

Kung nakatayo ka sa tren at hindi ka marunong magbalance, malamang ma-ooff-balance ka! May mama na nakatayo sa harapan ko. Nung umandar yung tren, bigla na lang siyang na-off balance sa mukha ko! Pero ayos lang kasi nagsorry naman siya. Naisip ko tuloy, "Manong, first time mo rin ba?!" Natatawa ako sa loob-loob ko.

Ayon. Buong biyahe akong nakatayo habang minamasid ang ibang tao, ang mga nagkalat na billboards, at pinakikinggan ang mga bihirang salitaan ng mga tao.

Sa pagbiyahe namin, maraming bumaba ng tren at maraming sumakay. Pero isa lang ang sigurado: Yung batang malapit sa amin ay nanonood ng Captain Barbell. Kinanta ba naman.. *ehem* "Tibay at lakas ng loob..." Wala lang. Hehe.

Makati, here I come!

Umabot na rin kami sa wakas sa Makati. Grabe ang init. Sobrang tumatagaktak na ang pawis ko. Sumakay pa kami ng jeep papunta ng building ng BPI. Grabe ang siksikan sa dyip. Mukha kaming mga sardinas na siniksik ng husto sa lata. :P

Tapos, bumaba na kami sa may hindi-ko-alam-ang-pangalan street at nakipagpatintero sa mga sasakyan. Hay sa wakas! Ang BPI Building! Dito pala ang opisina ng BFS. 24th floor. Ayos lang kasi may elevator. Aba, dapat lang!

Sa opisina ng BFS.

Pumasok si Daddy sa may loob ng opisina nila para ideliver ang mga report habang nag-aantay ako sa may lobby. Antagal naman. Kaya titingin-tingin ako sa iba-ibang bagay: sa lalaking nakadilaw na may hawak ng GTech na bolpen/gel pen habang kinakausap ang isang mag-asawa, sa batang humihiyaw at sinabihan ang guard na "Baboy ka guard!", sa mga mensaherong nakikipag-usap sa babae sa likod ng salamin, sa mga dumadaan sa high-tech na pintuan nila, sa mga kumakain, umiinom ng kape at umaalis. Kaso, bored pa rin ako. Wala akong nagawa kundi mag-antay. Ayan. Sa wakas, natapos na ang kwentuhan nina Daddy at ni Boss Gene (na hindi ko nakita). Kinuha namin yung tseke at umalis na.

Hmm. Kakaiba!

E di bumaba na nga kami at kinuha ni Daddy yung ID niya sa guard. Kaso, natagalan kaming hanapin ang pangalan ni Daddy sa logbook! Imposible! Pero nalocate din namin kahit papaano. Ewan ko ba. Hehe.

Habang naglalakad kami, may naramdaman akong patak sa mukha ko. Ano yon!? Tapos, nawala na. E di sige, lakad lang. Tapos biglang umambon, tapos umulan! Hay, buti na lang kumain muna kami sa may Chowking. Grabeng lakas ng ulan noong nasa loob kami! Ayos lang, nagpapakasaya ako sa mantao at halo-halo ko! Heehee!

Paglabas namin ng Chowking, malakas pa rin ang ulan. Buti na lang may payong kaming dala! Kaso, nasira yung payong!?! Ano ba yon? Pero nagamit pa rin namin kahit papano. Weirdo lang kasi saktong umuulan tsaka nasira. *Kung sa bagay..*

Lagi na lang umuulan.

Pagkatapos sumakay kami ng jeep papuntang LRT station (nakalimutan ko na kung ano dun) tapos yung iniisip ni Daddy na istasyon, nilagpasan nung driver! Tapos tinanong ni Daddy dun sa isa pang pasahero kung papuntang Guadalupe yung dyip. Oo daw. Tinanong kami kung dun ba namin balak sumakay sa nakalimutan-ko-na station. Oo naman kami. Sabi niya sa amin, dapat daw pumara kami bago lumagpas ng overpass! Aba malay ko ba. Pero ayos lang.

Sa Guadalupe.

Madulas na yung kalye dahil sa ulan. Hindi tuloy ako makatakbo. Ayoko namang pati damit ko mababasa! Nakakahiyang madulas dun no! Buti na lang may ticket na kami kaya tuloy-tuloy lang kami. Hay salamat. Pauwi na kami. Tapos umabot kami ng Araneta ulit. Ang hirap maglakad! Baha na dun kaya halos madulas-dulas na ako. Pero sa loob ng Gateway at Araneta, hindi na ganon kaputik.

Sa Cubao. Papuntang Santolan.

Umuulan pa rin. Pero malapit na sa bahay kaya sige na. Siksikan pa rin. Standing room pero ayos pa rin ako.

Pauwi na kami.

Malakas pa rin ang ulan pero medyo humuhupa na nang marating namin ang Santolan. Sumakay kami ng dyip papuntang Q Plaza! Finally! Pero yung dyip na sinakyan namin ang pinakasiksikan (to the point na nakadekwatro na ako para di masyadong masikip!) pero sige lang. Tiis na lang.

Malapit na.

Bago umuwi, dumaan kami ng CVC para bumili ng ibang bagay tapos ayun, sa VC dahil sa nakalimutang asin. Umuwi na kami at doon natapos ang kakaibang adventure ko noong huling weekday ko ng summer. : )

Haha. Wala lang yan. Bale picture ko yan after ko magshower nung gabi. Don't mind that. I felt so sticky and all so I decided to end my misery. Yah, I took a very much needed bath. Ansaya. : )

Kahapon, kinasal sina Ate Kaye at Kuya Daven sa Kowloon somewhere in Quezon City. Kaso nga lang, sa judge lang (na di pa mukhang judge. mukha kasing kenkoy. :P) Ayun. May reception of course. Nung una nga akala pa ni Jobitats na puro siopao lang ang ihahanda dun. Kasi ang concept niya ng Kowloon eh mga siopao (yung dun sa may Lilac sa Marikina, dun kasi kami bumibili ng siopao tuwing may check-up si Tini). Ayun. Ayos lang yung food kaso sobrang dami. Pero medyo ayos lang kasi buffet style at kinain ko naman yung mga kinuha ko.

Pagkatapos ng "kasal", pumunta kami ng Project 4 at bumisita kina Tita Tess kahit na kasama namin siya dun sa may Kowloon. Ayun. Tapos, nice nice, binigyan kami ng chocolates! Weeh! Pik-one! (the KitKat style choc) Ayos nga eh. Woohoo! E di syempre, kain to the max ako! Aba, biyaya din yon, wag sayangin! At tsaka nakasulat sa box: PIK-ONE. E di ba masama tumanggi sa grasya, e di sumunod naman ako! Nag-pick-one nga ako! Actually, more than one pa nga eh. :D Tapos binigyan din sina Daddy at Mommy ng kaserola na uber nice. :D At syempre meron din kami. Lahat kami binigyan ni Tita Tess ng relo. Nice nung akin. Peach! Cute!!

Eto yung pic (kaso medyo malabo, sorry.) Yung isa, kumakain talaga ako ng Pic-one. Hah. Tempting!! :D Tapos yung dalawa, mga relo ko. Adik to no?! The top pic: (L-R) Mickey Mouse purple watch, Timex digital watch, Peach watch, Timex watch since Grade 6.

Tapos, nagsimba kami sa Filinvest noong 4:30 na. Children's mass ata iyon. Sowee, first time ko dun eh. Ehehe. Tapos dumaan kami sa Roadside at bumili ng barbeque. Nice. Yumyum. :-9 Tapos dun na nagtatapos ang kwento ko. Kwento ka naman o. I-comment mo o lagay mo sa tagboard. Sige na. :D

Now, now. Almost everyone in my family is sick. Why almost? I'm the last one standing. Dadji has colds. Marmar is coughing. Jobie is feverish. Aww.

And because of all those "sickness galore", I have composed a song especially for them. : ) Ya. A SONG. Do you know Ne-yo's "So Sick"? If you know, sing along! : )

*ehem*

And I'm so sick of asthma,

so sick of colds,

so sick of coughing

So why won't my medications work?

Haha. Thinking positive at its finest. : )

Huling Hirit ng Summer.

2006-05-26T22:06:00.000+08:00

[isinulat noong mga alas-onse ng umaga]

Tsk. The clock is ticking. June is fast approaching! Nooo! All my happy days are gone. 4th year na ako! Waaah. The idea that I'm already a senior just can't sink into my senses. Parang kailan lang kakalipat ko lang sa St. Scho tapos ngayon, lalabas na naman ako! Haii. Never thought that high school days fly by so fast. And now, I'm enjoying my remaining days before I peg on my books again.

Habang sinusulat ko ito, kasalukuyang nasa field work sina Marmar at Dadji sa Batangas. Ako, nandito sa tapat ng computer, iniisip na hindi man lang ako nakalayo-layo sa vicinity ng NCR at Region IV [Antipolo]. Haii. Pero ayos lang kasi medyo sanay na ako sa ganitong summer. Buti na lang may internet para medyo malibang ako.
Ano pa ba ang gagawin ko?

1. Magbabalot ng mga natitirang notebook na wala pang balot.
2. Bubuklatin ang Physics at AA book para di na ma-culture shock.
3. Gagawa ng blogskin. Ulit. For the 5th time. Haha.
4. Manonood ng Yakitate Japan!! [Yes! Nanalo si Azuma! Weeeh!]
5. Mag-iisip...

Kukuha kaya ako ng UPCAT? Di ko pa alam kasi ngayon, ang pinagpipilian ko pa lang ay PSBA at ADMU. Accounting to - bale A-one, A-two, A-three. Ganon lang yon, di ba? Haha. 5 years na daw. Ayos lang. Basta walang dugo, pwede na. Tsaka madali daw ang accounting sabi ni Ate Lanie. Eh sa kanila [Nursing], nag-iinjection silang magkakaklase! Yoko non no! Baka mamatay pa ako o yung kaklase ko kapag palpak ang pagkakasaksak! Waaah. Di ko kaya yon. HIMALA NA LANG KAPAG BIGLA AKONG NAGING NURSE. Haha.

Bale, sampung araw na lang at pasukan na. Weh. 10 days?! Tsk. Sana lang magising ako ng maaga. WISH KO LANG. Sana din yung mga di ko pa nalalaman na kaklase eh yung mga matitino. [Yung wala pa sa listahan ko] Sana ayos din yung adviser namin pati mga teachers. Sana si Ms. De Dios!! At si Ms. Aspilan!! Pwede kaya yon?! Dati di ko masyadong trip si Ms. Chem kasi nakakatrauma yung mga "review" tungkol sa kanya. Pero nung medyo matagal na, naaaliw na kami sa kanya [at ganon din siya sa amin.] Sabi nga ni Bianca eh mukhang mas favorite niya kami kaysa sa Gertrude. Kasi kami tumatawa, sila ata natotrauma. Kung hindi lang ata kay Ms. Chem Jr., wala na. [Kilala nyo ba yon?! Tahimik lang kayo ha!?] Kaya ko siya gusto kasi napipilit kong isaksak yung mga impormasyon sa utak ko [imagine, namemorize ko yung compound table niya kasi sobrang natakot ako baka itest niya?! at tinest nga niya, buti naalala ko pa.] kaya effective teacher siya. Hehe. Alala ko pa yung sinabi ni Vinnie ata yon na sana si Ms. Aspi pa rin sa Physics. Ayos yon! Kaso gusto ko Lioba rin!! Waaah. Sa Angela, si Cuenx, si Che, at ako lang ang alam kong Lioba. Di ko pa alam si She, Aica, Corneby, Jazreel, Jenny, Kat, Alyssa, Ykhay, Terry at si Jomie. Haii. Ok lang kahit sino sa kanila. Lioba naman eh. ^^"

Eion. Sige. Magsasaing muna ako. [naglog-off noong 11:40 AM]

Pahabol na sulat: Nag-accounting kami ni Jobitats kanina [in layman's terms, bale, nagbilang kami ng pera] at nakakatuwang nakakatakot nang malaman namin na ang ipon ni Jobitats ay ang bad number (alam mo ba yon? yung triple 6. ay.) kaya hiningi ko yung piso niya para maging 665 ang ipon niya. Ahaha. Kumita pa ako! Wahaha! Ang sama ko, di ba? Pero ayaw niya na ganon ang total ng ipon niya kaya parang symbiosis na rin ang nangyari. ^^;

Meron pa. Natapos ko na ang ginawa kong skin. Tignan mo na lang sa bandang ibaba yung link. Pati pala yung kahapon kong sinubmit, yun ay kung interesado kang tignan. Nga pala, naglilink na ako sa mga taong isinusulat ko dito. Maliban na lang kung marami-rami at yung mga di ko alam ang URL. Kung gusto nyong makilala yung mga taong tinutukoy ko, tignan mo na lang kung may link.

So ayon. Nag-aantay na lang ako ng Yakitats tapos maya-maya naman eh yung internet time. God bless Marmar and Dadji sa kanilang pag-uwi.

(humabol ng sulat noong mga bandang alas-singko ng hapon.)

--Pasensya na dahil incoherent ang mga pinagsusulat ko ngayon. :P

na madaling magcram para sa mga surprise quiz ni ms. na hindi na masyadong surprise. [madali nga ba ang magcram!?]

na kailangang laging dala ang sci cal kung hindi magpapaalam ka pa kay ms. na kukuha ng tabo sa cr. [alala mo pa yon?! haha. sa may 2nd yr eating area. haha!]

tapos yung kwentuhan pa natin nila jackie at gela. ahaha.

at yung mga kagamitan natin sa locker 85 na may green na susi. aha. alala ko pa yon.

at ang pesteng kalayuan ng lioba sa chem lab at ang sobrang mainit na lab gown noong brownout.

[pati nga pala yung dalawang elektikpan na malapit sa atin!]

wala lang. andameng alaalang na-trigger ng salitang CHEM.

E di libreng tip na to sa mga incoming third year, di ba Ynna? : ) mishu.

Death: What a wonderful way to explain it!

2006-05-25T21:14:00.000+08:00

Got this one from Ian. Liked it very much. Read on and be inspired.

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here,
and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

This should be really quick.

2006-05-24T22:31:00.000+08:00

I am officially a blogskinner! Woohoo! In case you don't know what that is, well, a blogskinner is a one who makes skins or layouts for blogs. And yah, I'm one of those.

Check this one out, if you're hunting for a neat skin: Blogskins.com

And you can also check out my works. Here's my profile: Aichee! You'll find my works there. Do download if you wish. But I think I'm not worthy. I do not own a Photoshop software. So I do my works on Paint & PowerPoint. Heehee.

Okay. That's all.

Section ko: IV - St. Angela.

Sa totoo lang, parang dream section ko ang Angela, siguro dahil sa matinong location o dahil maganda lang pakinggan yung pangalan [o baka naman dahil kami ang una sa retreat...]. Basta. Mukha lang masaya. Well, ewan ko na lang kapag June 5 na sa loob ng IV-St. Angela Merici.

Sa aking pagsasaliksik at pangongolekta ng impormasyon, ito ang aking nakalap:

Nasa IV-St. Frances ang maraming mauutak na tao. Mga tipong mga top 1 sa bawat level:

Noong first year, ang top 1 ng batch ay si Lara. Nasa Frances siya.
Noong second year, ang top 1 ng batch ay si Angela. Nasa Frances siya.
Noong third year, ang top 1 ng batch ay si Joan. Nasa Frances siya.
Tapos, nandoon din si Jeselyn, ang top 1 ng Martha.
Pati na rin si Bianca, na nanalo ng writing award noon.

Isa lang ang nasabi ko: WOW.

Ngayon, ewan ko kung bakit pero sobrang kinakabahan ako. Hindi ko talaga alam. Hay.

**Bakit, iniisip ko bang sana sa Frances din ako?**

Hindi naman. Ang hirap ata ng kumpetisyon dun. Yun ay kung iisipin ko yon ng husto at magpapadala lang ako sa takot. At yon ay kung hindi ko gagawin ang best ko.

E wala rin naman pala. Di ko section yon kaya di ko na problema yon! Pero dahil kabatch ko pa rin sila, siyempre may competition pa rin. Hindi ko alam kung makakabuting pinagsama-sama silang lahat pero gagalingan ko talaga.

Angela ulit. Halos puro Martha ang kasection ko [na alam ko] tulad nina Vina, Alyssa, Che, at Audrey. Pero nandun din daw si Icha at si Dang. Well. Ayos lang. Hay.

Pasensya pero sa umpisa talaga, aminado akong medyo mapili ako sa mga kaklase dahil alam kong maraming contests na naman ang sasalihan at paglalabanan. Merong graduation song, Nutrijingle, etc. Siyempre, nandyan din ang retreat. Hay. Sorry for being so picky. Pero wala na rin akong magagawa. Hay. Syempre lilipas na naman ang isang taon bago ko maisip na yung section ko pala ang pinakamaganda at buti na lang hindi ako nalagay sa ibang section.

Siguro may magandang plano para sa akin si God [at si St. Angela na rin..] kaya nilagay niya ako sa section ko. Hay. Bahala na siya. Good luck na lang sa lahat ng 4th year students at nawa ay masurpresa tayong lahat sa mga kaklase natin. :D

Pahabol na sulat: Wala tayong pasok sa Lunes, ika-12 ng Hunyo. Obvious ba, Independence Day?! E di pwede pa tayong maglakwatsa di ba? :D

The Adventures of Dadji and Atchi!

2006-05-20T13:54:00.000+08:00

Okay, I was not able to blog yesterday because I was busy minding the labels for our books and notebooks - a perfect indication that schooldays are fast approaching! Too bad my classes start on June 5, the first Monday of June while Jobie will go to school on June 13 - a Tuesday?! We're ahead again?! Oh well, I'm graduating already so I'll finish first! Haha! [Graduating? Me?! Weh...] I almost forgot that June 12 is Independence Day - a holiday! Woohoo! NO CLASSES! That's cool. Haha. But upon seeing almost all my mentors [and TORMENTors?!] upon landing my feet once again at school, going to school is one exercise I would like to do again! I honestly miss learning. I miss the school, classmates and teachers. The glorious process of learning & studying. Aah.. I have a few more days before I once more sit inside my new room. IV - St. Angela. Wow. A dream come true. I never knew why I would like to belong to St. Angela. Oh well, I now belong there so I guess I'm happy enough. I'm just a bit curious - okay, not a bit - on who the other Angelans are. Hmm.. I hope it's like Lioba. Noisy but nonetheless, everyone at least cares [ooh, everyone you say? hmm..] I'll go to school anyway tomorrow. I'll try to ask for a list of peeps there so that I won't be shocked on the first day of school. Haha, exciting!

Yesterday was an adventurous day for me - not for the others perhaps, unlike me, a rotting homebody [rotting in some way..]. Operation COMMUTE! We had no car yesterday because Dadji sent it to Toyota for some repairing. We had to commute because we had to enroll Jobitats and get my long-coveted card for the first time in my life. Hehe. There.

We stepped out of the house at about 11:00 in the morning and took the shuttle up to Masinag. We headed for St. Scho and rode a tricycle for 50 bucks! That much! But we were dropped off exactly at Gate 3 of St. Scho so I think it was worth it - I think?!

Anyway, we got there at about 11:30 but unfortunately, the guard said that the offices were closed already and that we have to wait until 1:00! Wadahek?! And so, we sat at the waiting area for about 30 minutes - Dadji snoozed for some time while I was bored to death, reading everything we had - the Toyota booklet that I barely understood, Jobita's report card filled with line of 9 grades that made me go like, "Wow, I wish St. Scho did not have 97 as the highest..", tuition fee prices, letters, bills, etc. While Dadji was taking a nap, almost all of my torMENTORS passed by and fortunately, they saw me. Haha. I'm glad they still knew me. Hehe. But it was rather a shame for me, knowing that I currently have two very dominant zits on my face that I just would like to hide in the house until they all vanish. Haha, that's perfect timing to you!

Anyway, at the strike of 12:00, we started to look for some carinderias near St. Scho. I was hesitating at first to eat there knowing that almost all my teachers were eating there! Waah. But we still ate there. *Nakakahiya. Haha.* But the good thing is that Dadji was with me so I have nothing to fear. :)

One o' clock. We came back to Isko and waited for some time still that I said, "Anong oras ba ang ala-una dito?!" But we still managed to pay the necessary bills, get my card, pay for my transcript and leave the school in one piece. Mission complete.

Two o' clock. The only transportation near Isko was tricycle - again. When Dadji asked the driver how much is the fare to San Benildo, he said, "San yun?" I laughed deep inside me, knowing that SB is far, far away from Isko. I then said to Daddy that we go to Toyota instead to pick up the car in case we can pick it up already. And so, we rode the tricycle again. The fare was again 50 bucks! Wadahek! Well, it was quite far from Isko and I barely knew the roads we tracked so it was fair enough [the driver said that it's because of the high price of oil. sabagay.]

2:15 PM. We reached Toyota Marikina and it was perfect timing again because after about 20 mins. of reaching Toyota, the rain poured very hard. Hay, buti na lang! Because of boredom again, I checked out the Innova and the Vios inside the showroom. Astig. The silver color of the Vios is perfect for a president, Dadji said. The size is more or less like XL but it's nice. Oww. Come and dream...

2:40 PM. We got the car and we hopped on it because we were trying to get to SB immediately because we do not know when it will close. Gah.

2:54 PM. We finally reached SB! The guard said that they're closing already but Dadji insisted and that he said we came from a far place - which is quite true - and so the guard allowed us. We ran to the second floor and Dadji filled up the forms in a flash. Haha! Success! We got the books and left the school with the feeling of, "O di ba, sabi ko sa'yo eh!"

3:00 PM. Went home feeling extremely good. That's the end of the story. Watching TV isn't exciting anymore - except DanDum!!?! Hehe.

E di wala nang nasabi yung mga guard na MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, di ba? Haha!

Craving for Chocolate.

2006-05-14T12:35:00.000+08:00

You are Milk Chocolate

A total dreamer, you spend most of your time with your head in the clouds.
You often think of the future, and you are always working toward your ideal life.
Also nostalgic, you rarely forget a meaningful moment... even those from long ago.

What Kind of Chocolate Are You?

Oh please, stop bothering me, FUTURE!?!

2006-05-13T19:29:00.000+08:00

Okay, that was very annoying. I suddenly pressed the Enter key out of my rage after entering the title - which led me to the page that said Blog Published or something like that. This is neat. I am already a little annoyed at life and then, gah.

The reason: I HATE CHANGE.

For one, I am too young. I am enjoying my years in the most unfruitful way - uh, the usual internet all day long, chatting, blogging & my unnecessary needs and then, I just realize that I am going to go to a new chapter in my school life! Oh, that is so unmarvee - if there's such word. I mean, I am only beginning to enjoy my high school years - the mental pain, the abhorrance of Trigonometry, the joys of English and the spice of Chemistry. I love the way I live right now. I honestly would not like to age and be part of the old - okay, that will be elder (whatever) - citizens of the country who will brave new horizons. I mean, I do not like to innovate for some darn reason - I prefer to watch the world move and rotate and revolve.

To make things short, I believe that I am too young - you can call that young-at-heart-and-mind - to enter college. Aww, everyone's talking about review classes, new lessons, difficult teachers, application forms, transcript of records, certificates, report cards and a lot more paraphernalia that would definitely freak out any indifferent incoming senior student exactly like me. So what's the fretting all about? Nothing actually. I have finally decided what course to take up - that's Accountancy - and therefore placing Computer Science as my 2nd choice. I have considered that a brave step but later on, I have realized that I should have been wiser in making decisions. The problem is, I have no idea where to go to. Okay, there's PSBA. Marmar says they are good at the course and ADMU whose forte is more on the business courses. Those two would be good because they are near our batcave and it wouldn't be hard for me to commute. Well, about UP, I don't know if I am taking a test there, considering the fact that it's a little hard to pass there - to think I haven't had review classes and I am too lazy to pick up my books and recall stuff - oww, let's stop fretting! Augh.

Everyone's talking about the same stuff. College entrance exams. Review classes. Horrible simulated exams. Oh what the heck is going to happen to me?!

Okay, I have given only one reason. I'm too tired to think of another and probably, I would just stop for a while and think things over. Three weeks and the happy days are gone. And there's plenty of days to come to suffer hell. Good luck Atchi. I think we have to call back-up.

Okay, in the days to come, I'll try to grab Bio, Chem, Trigo & Geom and see if I can fit more info inside my seemingly empty summer-mode brain. I'll see to it that no Reader's Digest copy will not come in the way.

Cowwwld. [Brr!]

2006-05-12T19:23:00.000+08:00

Kahit na tumigil na yung ulan, malamig pa rin. Hay.. number 2 na lang si elektikpan pero hindi ko mapigilan ang pagkikiskis ng mga braso ko sa sobrang baba ng temperatura. At, haha, coincidence ba ito, tinutugtog sa radyo ang dating senti song ko na "Heaven Knows [The Angel Has Flown]" ng Orange and Lemons. Ayos.

Sa ngayon, wala pa rin akong pinagkakaabalahan maliban sa pag-uupdate ng blog, pagtatype, soundtrip at ang mga dating gawain. Wala pa ring nangyayaring kakaiba. Ang bago lang ay lumabas kami ni Jobita - kami lang dalawa - para bumili ng suka sa tindahan ni Aling Nena tapos natulala ako... okay corny. Kung di mo nagets yung joke, mas corny ka! Haha. Wala lang akong magawa kaya pasensya na sa kalokohan ko. Umuulan na naman. Lalong lumalamig ang kapaligiran. Feeling ko magkakalagnat na ako. Ayokong magkasakit. At ayoko ng ulan! Kasi kapag umuulan na, isa lang ang naiisip ko: malapit na ang pasukan! Ang bilis, May 12 pa lang pero umuulan na. Alam ko umuulan lang kapag mga June, July o August na. Ang bilis naman. Di na tuloy mukhang summer. E yun pa naman yung isa kong gusto sa bakasyon. Ayoko sa ulan kasi mukhang gloomy ang paligid. Mas gusto ko pang mainit [weh.] kaysa tiisin ang sobrang lamig dito.

One of these days, makukuha ko na ang walang kwenta kong report card [na mas karapat-dapat na tawaging report paper, di ba mga schoolmates?]. Ayoko na ngang makita yon eh. Pihadong kamumuhian ko ang mga grado kong ngayon ko pa lang makikita. Ang walang hiyang grade ko sa Chem noong 1st quarter - pihado medyo mababa yon. At ang mas langyang grado sa Trigo na pababa ng pababa - parang spaghetti. Ayokong alalahanin ang nakaraan. Sa bagay, wala na akong magagawa doon. Tapos na yon. Hah. Bahala na kung anong mangyari.

Ayon sige. Pwede na siguro to para sa blog entry ko ngayon.

Sungka is not boring, mind you.

2006-05-12T11:12:00.000+08:00

Ang ikukwento ko naman sa inyo ay tungkol sa sungka - kung paano ko natutunan ang paglalaro, mga rules na sinusunod at marami pa.

HISTORY

Kasi ganito yon... isang araw [nakalimutan ko na kung kailan], pumunta kami sa Marikina market para maghanap ng magtatahi ng uniform ni Jobita. E di nakakita na nga kami.
Pagkatapos, naisipan ni Jobita na maglibot kami para tumingin-tingin ng mga laruan. Tapos, napunta kami dun sa may lugar na mga tipong mga galing sa Baguio na mga produkto - mga ethnic items, kahoy, etc. May nakita kaming sungka board tapos tinanong ni Daddy dun sa nagtitinda kung may sungka shells siyang binebenta. Meron daw - 100 pieces per pack tapos 30 pesos na yon. E di binili ni Daddy yung shells. Tapos sabi ni Jobita, "Meron ba tayong sungka board sa bahay?" Sabi ni Daddy/Mommy, "Meron, nakatago lang." E di umuwi na kami, excited kasi first time namin talagang maglalaro ng sungka at wala kaming kaalam-alam sa mga rules. Kaya ayun, buti nahanap yung sungka board at naglaro na sila. Noong una, di pa nila alam yung rules, iba-iba kasi yung version ng bawat tao kaya napag-isipan kong maghanap ng rules sa Internet (high-tech no?) para may basihan. Ayon sa nabasa ko, tama naman yung pagkakalaro namin. Pero sabi ni Ma na sa una daw eh dapat sabay na titira yung magkalaban. Sabi
ko naman, "E di ang gulo non!" Pero nung sinubukan namin, e hindi naman pala masyadong magulo. Ayun, hanggang ngayon, naglalaro pa rin ang mga tao dito sa bahay ng
sungka, pero si Jobita ay may naimbentong bagong version ng sungka.

Pero bago ko muna i-explain ang rules nung bagong version, sasabihin ko muna sa inyo ang rules sa original sungka game:

Mga Kailangan sa Original Sungka Game:
- Sungka board na may 2 home cups (yung malalaki sa magkabilang-dulo) at 14 na maliliit na cups
- 98 na piraso ng shells (kung maaari eh maliliit lang para kaya ng isang kamay kapag maraming hawak)
- at siyempre, maraming pasensya kung matagal na tumitira ang kalaban habang wala pang laman ang home cup mo.

Ganito ang laro namin:
1. I-setup muna ang sungka board. Tig-pipitong shells sa bawat maliit na cup, walang ilalagay sa kahit saang home cup.
2. Maghanap ng kalaro. Mahirap kung mag-isa ka lang.
3. Para hindi na mag-babato-bato-pick, sabi ko nga, sabay na titira ang magkalaban. Una muna, mamimili kayo ng cup tapos ididistribute ang mga shells na laman ng cup na iyon. Kapag ang huling shell na tinira mo ay natapat sa cup na may laman pa, ituloy ang pag-didistribute. Kung nagkataong ang huling tira mo ay sa cup na walang laman maliban sa shell mong tinira, ibig sabihin, TUMIGIL KA NA sa pagdidistribute. Hayaan mo ang kalaban mong tumira ng tumira at panoorin mo ng husto para di ka madaya. Nga pala, ang pagdidistribute ay laging COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Ibig sabihin papunta lagi sa right pag nasa base mo; pag nasa base ng kalaban mo, papuntang left.
4. Sa pag-ikot-ikot mo sa sungka board, tandaang lagyan ng isang shell lamang bawat cup at pagkatapos lagyan ng shell ang cup mo na pinakamalapit sa home cup mo, lagyan ng isang shell lamang ang home cup. Kung hindi mo alam kung ano ang home cup mo, yon yung pinakamalaking cup na nasa kanan mo. Tandaan: HUWAG MAGPASALAMAT sa kalaban na nalalagyan ang home cup mo kapag nalilito. Ibalik sa kanya para walang daya.
5. Kunwari naman ang huling shell mo ay bumagsak sa cup na walang laman at kung ang cup na iyon ay may katapat na cup na may laman, pwede mong kuhanin ang mga shell na iyon at yung huli mong tinirang shell at ilagay sa homecup. Maswerte ka kapag ang nabagsakan mo ay katapat ng cup ng kalaban mo na puno ng shells. Nga pala, pwede lamang gawin ito kung nasa base mo ikaw. Bawal mong i-capture ang mga shells mo kapag tumigil ka sa base ng kalaban.
6. Ang objective dito ay paramihan ng shells. Sa amin, para madaling malaman kung sino ang nanalo pagkatapos ng laro, inaayos namin ang base namin gamit lamang ng mga nasa homecup namin. Kapag kinulang ka ng shells, talo ka at humingi ka na lang sa kalaban ng sobrang shells. Kapag sobra ka, wag magdamot. Bigyan ang kalaban ng sobra.
7. Pag magsisimula ulit ng bagong laro, pwede kayong magsabay ulit o kaya, paunahin ang nanalo. Mas maganda yung sabay lagi kasi kapag minsang pinauna ang nanalo, lagi na siyang mananalo. Bahala na kayong magdesisyon.

Ganito naman sa naimbentong laro ni Jobita:

Mga Kailangan sa Pekeng Sungka Game:
- Sungka board na may 2 home cups (yung malalaki sa magkabilang-dulo) at 14 na maliliit na cups
- 22 piraso ng sungka shells at 6 na marbles
- hindi na tiyaga ang kailangan dito kundi BILIS at ENERHIYA para mauna matapos sa kalaban!

Ganito ang paglalaro:
1. Parang sungka pa rin ito pero iba ang set-up. [Tignan ang drowing. Ang ibig sabihin ng "2" ay 2 shells, yung bilog ay marble, yung katabi ng marble ay shell.]
2. Sabay pa ring titira ang magkalaban, counterclockwise pa rin ang pagtira.
3. Kailangan ang unang ititira mo ay walang marbles pero kung hindi pwede, kailangang magsacrifice - magbigay ng marble sa home cup ng kalaban - tapos itira na ang gusto mong itira. Pero kung nakakuha ka ng marble sa pamamagitan ng pagdidistribute mo, tuloy lang ang ligaya. Walang sacrifice na kailangan. Nga pala, yung pagtira ng shell ay normal pa rin, yung marble ang kakaiba: kailangan lalagpas ka pa ng isang cup. Kunwari, nakakuha ka ng may marble. Unahing itira ang shells (normal na pagtira) tapos kapag ubos na ang shell, itira ang marble hindi sa katabing cup ng huling tinirang shell kundi sa susunod pang cup.
4. Ang shell lamang ang pwedeng mang-capture; bawal ang marble. Samakatuwid, kung ang huling tira mo ay sa walang laman at ang tinira mo ay marble, titigil ka na. Bawal i-capture ang katapat na cup.
5. Magulo pero mas exciting sa ordinaryong laro ng sungka. Pabilisan ito kasi madalas, kung sino ang unang natapos eh siya yung nananalo.
6. Meron pa pala: may naisip kaming bagong batas para mas exciting. Pwedeng mamili ng iba-ibang batayan ng kung sino man ang panalo. Mamili kung ang pagbabasihan ay ang kung sino ang mas lamang sa dami ng MARBLES, SHELLS, o LAHAT --> [normal game]. Kunwari, ikaw, talo ka sa paramihan ng lahat pero daig mo ang kalaban sa dami ng MARBLES at iyon ang napagkasunduan nyong batayan, e di panalo ka na!

Kung hindi nyo gets, yung ordinaryong laro na lang ang laruin nyo! O kaya, mag-imbento rin kayo! : )

Ayun lang naman. : )

How to Write Good

2006-05-11T10:13:00.000+08:00

In his new book Fumblerules, William Safire gives a lighthearted look at grammar and good usage. The following are "fumblerules" - mistakes that call attention to the rule:

Avoid run-on sentences they are hard to read.
No sentence fragments.
It behooves us to avoid archaisms.
Also, avoid awkward or affected alliteration.
Don't use no double negatives.
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times: Resist hyperbole.
Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Writing carefully, dangling participles should not be used.
Kill all exclamation points!!!
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
Take the bull by the hand, and don't mix metaphors.
Don't verb nouns.
Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

Got this one from Reader's Digest. So fab. <3
: ) nice one. walking contradictions. : )

Para naman sa mga Naruto addict. : )

A year has passed since the start, but half the time we don't know what month it is in the Naruto timeline so it's hard to tell how old they are actually.

This information was gathered from the Offical Naruto Character Databook that is on sale now.

Changes, Surprises and... what the heck!?

2006-05-09T10:13:00.000+08:00

If you have noticed, I made Juicy Orange a little less orangy. I stared at it yesterday and thought that if almost everything is ORANGY, I would be forced to replace it rather than barf because of the same bright color everywhere. The posts' font is Tahoma and I made it white for a better look. I also changed the color of some links - I made it orange and white alternately so you won't get tired of looking at a VERY orangy site. Oh well, I hope that would be fine by you, because honestly, I love this layout/format rather than the one I had yesterday. It definitely looks better, right? ( :

So, enough of the kahel craze. I want to share something to you. Haha. I don't know if you actually care about this but anyway, you're just reading my blog so you can't do anything. Hahaha!

I watched the Grand Showdown of PPS - that's Pinoy Pop Superstar to you, much like Search for the Star in a Million but here, they're obviously searching for the Pinoy Pop Superstar (that, I think, is pretty obvious). Marmar said that the event actually took place last Saturday and that GMA7 hasn't announced yet who won the title (of course, so that there will be this "thriller" effect - to be honest, I felt that "thriller" effect! :-P).

The opening number was so fabulous - they featured the ethnic side of Pinoys while the PPS Year 1 winners sang English songs. You might think it doesn't make sense to hear tribo sounds and pop music at the same time but I tell you, it was great. Haha.

And so there were 7. Irra. Elise. Rosemarie. Denver. Harry. Gerald. Aicelle. And my favorite was Aicelle. I was quite confident that she would grab the title because she won the RoadShow award and the Best Album Performance award while Gerald took the People's Choice Award.

First elimination round. 4 were left: Denver. Harry. Gerald. Aicelle. I should say Elise & Rosemarie sang well but I don't really know how to judge. Oh well, the judges always pick the best. And that was what I thought.
Second elimination round. Only two have survived to vie for the crown. And that was Gerald and Aicelle. Good, Aicelle is still on the race. She really sings well and I can sense emotion and intensity in every song she sings. Gerald, on the other hand, seemed boring because of his Chinito eyes - I could not see passion in his eyes. Para kasing nakatitig lang siya sa camera kaya, augh.

Siyempre, para may suspense effect, may intermission number muna. Ang galing sobra ni Regine Velasquez at ni Jonalyn Viray. BTW, Jonalyn is the 1st PPS winner and she sings like a pro - halos mapantayan na niya si Regine. : )

Last round na!! Of course, the last two peeps to compete are going to sing the same song. Akala ko, "Can This Be My Miracle?" ulit ang kakantahin nila - tulad nung sa PPS Year 1 nung naglaban si Jonalyn at si Brenan (nga pala, si Brenan si Agatom noon sa Sineskwela. sharing.). Hindi na yon yung piece nila. They sang "Close To Where You Are" kasi raw, yun yung kinanta ni Jonalyn 1 year ago. E di yon. As usual, I found Gerald boring kasi talagang halos buong song nakatitig lang siya sa cam at di siya halos gumagalaw - except pag kailangan na ng biritan. He simply sang the song and that made my heart skip a beat. Kinabahan ako bigla. Naisip ko, kapag inartehan ni Aicelle yung song, may chance na matalo siya. May iniba nga si Aicelle sa song pero matino naman. Hanggang sa huli, kay Aicelle pa rin ang boto ko. Kahit na sinabi na sa akin ni Daddy na hindi bagay sa kanya yung song, di ko pinansin. Go Aicelle pa rin ako.

E di announcing time na. Grabe, ang daming awards: house and lot, car, contract, free services kung saan-saan, at siyempre, ang tumatagingting na 1M pesos in cash. Nakakatuwa nga si Regine kasi sobrang excited din siya. Sabi pa niya, "Santos ang apelyido niya!!" knowing na parehong Santos ang apelyido nina Aicelle at Gerald (pati pa nga si Harry at si Erik - oo, si Erik Santos! - wala lang...). At ayun, sobrang na-shock ako nung sinabing si Gerald ang Pinoy Pop Superstar. Sobrang paulit-ulit sa isip ko yung "What the - ?! What the - ?!" Grabe. Shock! Shocking talaga. Pero nung kinanta ni Gerald yung bago niyang song "Mahal Kita" ata yon, maganda naman. Hehe. Ewan ko kung paano nangyari yon pero wala na akong magagawa. BTW, youngest daw si Gerald sa 7 contenders. Steg naman. Sa video niya, sabi niya, hindi raw siya napepressure kasi sobrang pinaghandaan daw niya yung performance niya. In fairness, nanalo siya.

Ang masasabi ko lang, Ate Aicelle, akin na lang yung gowns mo!! Wahaha! F.C. (Ate raw. Haha.) Ang ganda kasi eh. Orange, tapos yung isa Purple!!! Wahaha! Favorite colors ko yon!! Basta, ang ganda ng dating niya at ng singing style niya. May future ka pa Ate Aicelle. Siguro boy na lang ang pinili nila para hindi matalbugan si Jonalyn. Hehheheh. Magaling sila pareho. Ahaha.

Basta kung tatanungin nyo ako, ang sagot ko, HINDI. Hinding-hindi ako sasali sa mga ganong contest. Wala akong talent dyan. Magba-blog na lang ako no? Haha. :D

Lesson of the day. : )

2006-05-07T19:36:00.000+08:00

Days back, I had a hard time to view some sites because almost all of the text appear so, so small. I tend to go to other sites, totally frustrated because I would like to read but I could not because the text size was very small - as small as a dot. But then, thanks to Jobie, who was navigating through the menu and the menu bars and then suddenly, I remembered that there was such a helpful thing as View >> Text Size. And was I happy! I finally get to view all sites right. Oww well. What a valuable lesson to remember trivial details and thanks by the way to Jobie!! Woohoo! *The End* :kahel-krazy:

Aww gawd. It's all pathetic.

2006-05-07T18:06:00.000+08:00

They have set a new law in the house: I could not surf the net for more than two hours?!?! Noo.. what if the connection fails or what if the loading time is soo long?! Andaya naman non. Hindi ko man lang nasulit yung 1 full hour. It's like this: Daddy set a sched for the Net.

Weekdays - 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Saturdays - 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM (after eating lunch); 5:00 - 7:00 PM (after washing dishes)Sundays - 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM (after eating lunch); 5:00 - 7:00 PM (after washing dishes)

Schedules can be stopped anytime Mommy or Daddy will use the computer.

The last condition is perfectly fine with me, knowing that this computer I'm using is a office computer also (if you do not know that our home is actually an office at the same time...) and that sometimes, they really have this RUSH HOUR. But the schedule is not fair! Only one hour?! I am totally not used to that because this was my schedule before:

Weekdays - 6:00 PM - I-do-not-know hour (then you can still come back to the Net after eating) [the I-do-not-know hour can get as late as past 11:00 PM or 12:00 MN in some abnormal cases]
Saturdays - 10:00 AM - wantusawa hour (sort of unlimited, which sounds pretty cool despite the fact that the connection is cut every 3 hours)
Sundays - (see my former schedule for Saturdays but starting time is usually after lunchtime or something like that)

Please, 1 - 2 hours is not enough for a summer bum like me!! Take me to Baguio or Boracay or wherever else (no, please - not anywhere in ANTIPOLO!!). I want a sane vacation!! I want to do something new!! I want adventures!! Augh. The only reason why I can't seem to remove myself in front of this darney balarney PC is that I have nothing real to do!?!!? (Or probably, I'm ignoring the "sane" things I'm supposed to do!!) Look, I'm trying to help in all ways possible (except in the conservation of energy c:) in the house so please don't take away my joys!!! I promise you I'm not surfing during office hours (of course, we're not DSL so the phone & surfing can't possibly go together without one being sacrificed). Oww gawd. I am thinking of a NEGOTIATION. But I fear the worst. So, I think I would just drop that sparkly idea.

Ayoko kasing sabihin na mamamatay ako kung walang "unlimited" access na gagawin ko ang lahat para lang dun (dahil di naman ako ganon ka-addict sa computer). Ayoko rin namang isipin kung ano yung LAHAT na gagawin ko na sa tingin ko eh hindi ko naman talaga kaya. Baka hindi na ako papasukin. Ayoko naman non. Gagraduate na nga lang ako, titigil pa ako?!

And now, I am setting a long-term goal: To have a good job, whatever that would be, that would give me a good income to have a DSL connection for my own computer that I will pay for myself. O, wala nang aangal dyan. Ako na ang bahala dyan, matupad man o hindi (Aww, sana matupad, SANA MATUPAD!!!).

Na-badtrip ako.

2006-05-07T12:40:00.000+08:00

"Ano kaya kung kumain na kayo?"

Sa pagkakarinig ko ng mga salitang iyon, nanghina ako. Ayaw ko pa talagang kumain kasi ayoko lang. Di pa ko gutom eh.

"I-shut down na nga yang computer na yan..."

Lalo tuloy akong nanghina. Eh kung kilala mo ba naman ako eh hindi ka na magtataka. Ang computer lang ang nagpapasaya sa akin kapag walang tao, walang kalaro sa sungka, tapos na ang trabaho, etc. Sa madaling salita, ito lang ang libangan ko. Tapos ipapasara pa. Ayos naman ah. Makakain na nga. Bahala na.

At ayan, bumuhos na naman ang mga sermon.
Na dapat daw akong maghanap ng mas kapaki-pakinabang na gawain.
Na kapag tinigilan ko ang pagkokompyuter, makikita ko ang realidad - na hindi ko talaga maintindihan.
(Ano nga ba ang realidad? Bakit, peke lang ba itong kompyuter na ito?)
Na dapat ay magbasa ulit ako ng Bibliya.
Na dapat ay mag-aral-aral na ako.

At sa lahat ng iyon, isa lang ang masasabi ko:
AYOKO ng masyadong pinepwersa.

Alam ko naman na gusto nila ang mabuti para sa akin. Ayaw nila pihado na lumabo pa ang mga mata kong sanay na ata sa radiation. [Kasi nga naman, sila pa ang gagastos sa pagpapalit ng lens ng salamin ko. Mahirap nang gumastos.] Gusto nilang magising ako sa katotohanang iba ang totoong mundo - na ang Internet, chat at ang pagba-blog ay parang parte ng mundong nilikha ng tao para sa panandaliang aliw. Gusto nila sigurong pamukha sa akin na 8:30 na ng gabi at hindi pa kumakain ang kapatid ko. O baka naman gusto nilang maayos na ang lahat bago sila umalis para sa Christian Life Program na paglilingkuran nila. Baka nga naman sumabog na ang computer dahil kanina pang umaga nakabukas iyon. Ewan ko ba.

Isa pa, hindi ko naman sinasabing ayokong basahin ang Bible o magreview para sa nalalapit na mga entrance exams sa kolehiyo. Sabi ko nga, ayoko ng pinipilit ako. Gusto ko, kusa ko para ganado ako at nakangiti na gagawin ang gusto ko o ang nararapat na gawin. Pero, kung kailan man ang araw na magkukusa ako, ewan ko lang.
Tuloy pa rin ang blogging. Walang masama - wag lang umabuso.

[sinulat noong Mayo 6, 2006 - inedit ngayong Mayo 7, 2006]

Nope. Not a newbie.
