The Many Faces of Immortality

Sweet Shooting Stroke! Rukawa-style!

2007-04-30T20:29:00.000+08:00

I just had a great game today. This is the day I first wore my Rukawa jersey but I had a bad game while I was wearing it. In my first game, I was playing center for our team against a very athletic group of opponents. I would say I'm more comfortable at playing shooting guard. The score was 15-20, I think. Very exhausting, I tell you. *huff huff*

In my second game, I scored 11 points (17 if it were the official style of scoring) and swished and banked 5 of 9 three-pointers. I removed my Rukawa jersey because it was already wet. I just want to remember this day as the day I got the 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' of the people watching. Haha!

But it was a bit ironic that my hot shooting came when I was at the limit of my stamina. I say it as 'I played Mitsui-like' after wearing Rukawa's jersey. Weird, huh?

But we still lost, 14-20. Now I know how Kobe Bryant feels after scoring so much and still the Lakers lost a game.

For me, my best shot was that sweet step-back three-pointer that swished as I jumped away from my defender. Very much James Yap-like. Haha! I have to thank him. I learned that shot through watching him in TV. Thanks James Yap! I just used my reflex as I took my shot, and boy, was I shocked that it went in!

Now I remember how it feels to be "Unstoppable" in the court. =)

If you want evidence, ask the people who played today in the court. Haha....

Date: April 30

Game Stats:
11 (17) points
No rebounds
No assists
6 of 10 from the field
5 of 9 from beyond the arc

Now that's what I call sweet shooting! Haha! =D

When It All Leaks Out

2007-03-26T01:54:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I last wrote here. Inspiration struck so that's why I'm here. I never thought I'd be writing here again. Haha....

~~~~~~~

First of all, I have a 'friend' who I foresaw as who he really is and tried to accept him. However, things backfire, you know. Now, I think he's seeing me as more than a friend. I can only be just his friend nothing more, nothing less. Maybe something less if he is going to continue what I think he is doing. [No offense, but please get a hold of yourself. I really don't like where things are going. I hope you know what I am talking about. You know who you are....] *-_-*

F*ck it! I never felt so angry with myself! I think my life is gonna get f*cked! (Forgive my words, but I'm going to explode if I don't....) So many issues I'm getting involved with when I really don't want to be involved. I've never felt so depressed. Very different from what I have experienced before. I know there are people with more f*ckin problems than me but when all small problems happen at the same time, I know I'm in for a big f*ckin ride. Screw my acads. Screw my future hopes. Screw my schedules. Screw my social life. Screw my past. Screw my memory. Screw my dreams.

Can dreams come true?? I dunno. If they did, I hope that my problems will cease. What my eyes saw and see, what my ears heard and hear, what my mouth told and tells, it will never contain everything about me, everything around me. I try to be simple. However, when things happen, I know I will become complicated. When a life gets complicated, it takes great effort to make it simple again.

Out of all my subjects, I think I'll be able to pass 2 or 3 of them. I hate this one particular subject and sir *screw his name*. He said and I quote,"Magbasa-basa lang kayo, papasa na kayo dito sa course na ito." F*ck! And he gives us sophomore type problems. What the hell do you want? Less students in the department? Pucha.... Exams are said to be the least technique to measure how much a person learned. He himself said it. I know I'm to blame for a least a part of my 'downhill ride' (notice the euphemism?) but SCREW him. I hate Math53 but I really like my prof. I think I still haven't adjusted to the degree of difficulty of college with my Math. Damn! I'm starting to hate it again. I really liked it in the latter part of my highschool but I now know that I can really SUCK big time in Algebra. Maybe it's because my sked is everyday "7am class" which my mind is always half-awake. Maybe it's because I now have bad luck, eh? Maybe I'm looking at other things too much aside from acads. Well, why am I so angry now? Because I will fail people who believed in me. I will lose my scholarship and will be a liability to those close to me. I don't really like to be dependent on people much. Damn....

What I hoped, what I would like to happen became smaller than just a glimmer. Well, maybe it's just really not for me. I sucked in that department anyway. I have accepted blame before and I can accept it again. My laziness can really be a pain in the ass. I can never be a perfect person. Damn, how cliche.... My lack of effort can be attributed to not being sure what is right and what is wrong. Another would be the fear of failure. I've felt it and I now think twice when I'm not so sure of myself. I may be a very cheerful person on the outside but as one goes deeper inside me, I can become more complicated. I hate myself for feeling fear. I hate myself for being so damn hopeful. What if I'm wrong? Then all I can do is nothing. Or maybe not? Maybe I can do something.... I now feel envious of the people who achieved what they want with, in my opinion, not their full strength/potential. With some people, they don't even need one fourth of their full efforts for things to automatically go their way. Damn them....

How lucky are the people who have achieved their dreams. I hope I can be even just a bit like them. I hope I can make my promise to myself that I will strive harder next year. I feel envious with the people who are happy now. I hope I can be just a bit like them. I never thought that my life could be in as much chaos and disarray as I think it is now. This would be my life now. I will have to live with it and continually hope to get the opppurtunity to " realize my 'dreams' ". I never thought I would be so emo like this and be up until 3am in the morning today. But what I saw were enough to make me lose it. Damn.... I hate this fucked week.

Nga pala, ang bulok ng Purefoods these past few games. Tapos, sa tingin ko ay ang bulok pa ng laro ni James Yap ngaun even though top conference scorer siya. Nasaan na yung MVP na nakita ko/ng mga tao nung last last All-Filipino Conference? Anu ba yan. Pati si James Yap nasasama ko sa galit ko. Basta, feeling ko na kaya pa ni James Yap na gumaling kaysa sa nilalaro nya ngaun. Go James Yap!

~~~~~~~

Joke Time... Hehehe....

My social life is very good. I meet new people, but they're taken. Joke! Let me rephrase that. I meet new people. I make friends with them. I ask for their number.... Joke again! I only ask for their number when it is needed such as groupwork, etc. I meet new people. I hope I can meet and know more. Tada! I have friends! And now, I'm joining an org. Yun lang naman mga bago sa buhay ko. Hehe....

Yan. Mejo napapacify na yung anger ko. Damn, I'm so f*cked. Hay.... Nga pala, defensive mechanism ko yung pag-sigh. Effective yun sa aken e. Try nyo 'pag nahihirapan kayo. Masarap talaga manood ng Anime DVD's. Nalilimutan ko lahat ng problema ko. It is also a very effective relaxation for me. Nagsheshare lang....

May Have All, But Can't Have Everything

I may have eyes that see,
but that doesn't mean I can see everything
I may have ears that hear,
but that doesn't mean I can hear everything
I may have hands that touch and hold,
but that doesn't mean I can hold on to everything
I may have a mouth that speaks,
but that doesn't mean I can tell everything
I may have a brain that thinks,
but that doesn't mean I can know everything
I maybe a person who can adapt,
but that doesn't mean I can be everything
I maybe a person who can achieve many things,
but that doesn't mean I can have everything.

*bow*

Random Thinkeng'g.... =P

2006-12-09T23:20:00.000+08:00

Hay, matapos ang mahabang panahon at katamaran... makakapagsalita na akong muli dito.

Last Movie I saw: Casino Royale

Pinanood namin ng family ko + matt sa Mall of Asia last weekend. First time kong makapunta dun. At as usual, nabano na naman ako. Iniisip ko tuloy na binabarat ng SM ung sa Lipa. Sandamakmak na buildings yung nandun. Kumain din kami sa Taste Asia. Masaya yun! =)

Last rest I had: UP Circuit Tambayan (Eng'g Bldg & at the back of EEE Bldg.)

E2 ang org na sasalihan ko, alam kong may hirap na kasama ang application (kahit san namang org d b?), pero wala akong balak mag-defer. Maraming kaguluhan ngayon lalo na sa Eng'g. Eng'gGrande kasi ang Eng'g Week! Yey! Ang sayang magpipol-pusoy. Ang galing ni Kuya Cesar! Circuit... Hayt! Madami pang events kaso may mga prof na sakit sa ulo. Ayaw tlgang i-cancel ung classes.... *peace* Naaalala ko yung Intrams namin dati nung hayskul.... Panget p ng laro sa basketball nun.... Pero hindi na ngayon. Ha!

Last Exam I took: EEE 31

Isang appreciation course lang daw. Duh! Saan ba nanggagaling ung mga given sa problems? Susunugin ko yun e. Sabi nya, magbasa-basa lang kayo, kayang-kaya nyo ang course na 'to. (*vein pulses) Halos dumugo ang ilong ko sa kakahula sa mga sagot d2. Sabi nga ni Bata, "Hindi na 'to pinag-uusapan."

The Other Exam I took: Math 53

OK lang, expected na nagulat ako sa 1st exam. Kac d ko alam kung pano mag-test prof namen. La kacng prob set e, nasanay ako kay Sir Aldrin. Baka mga 30-40 range ng score ko.... (*nosebleed) Kelangan ko na talagang mag-aral. Yet I'm starting to feel good for the exam next year. =)

Last Person I talked to excluding Family Members: Seph Cruzado

Yey! May kasama na ako sa monday! Manonood kami nung Cheering ng Eng'g Week. Masaya 'toh! =)

Last Class I went to: EEE 11 Lab

Wala lang, nag-program lng uli kame. Madali pa cya, since I had programming during hayskul. Salamat din Alvi sa tulong mo/pagkopya ko ng tags sau. =) At may rumors pala ukol sa aming instructor. hmmmm....

Last Site I Opened: Friendster

Walang magawa e.... Hehe.... Sana may milagrong mangyari.... 'Tis the season to be jolly....

Last song I heard: Sexy Back - Justin T.

Magaganda ang mga songs uli ngaun. Tinamad ako sa radyo nung mga summer e.... Maganda rin ung mga Snow Patrol, Muse, at MCR.

Last time I played basketball: Yesterday

Dapat kanina rin e, kaso umambon.... (*tutungo) Had a good game last monday, kept hitting 3point-shots. Pero kahapon, kept hitting from the inside. We won 2 straight before I called it quits. Kaya d ako nakapag-aral ng ayos sa 31. My bad.... Hehe.... After nun, kumain lng ako groggily. Tapos bagsak agad ako sa kama ng 7pm p lng. Nagising na ako ng mga 7.30 ng umaga e 10 n ung exam namin. Again, my bad. Hehe....

Last thing I read with Enthusiasm: On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning

Very Interesting Piece Of Literature. Yun lang ang masasabi ko. I like to feel that kind of experience. Love is deceptive; it is hard to know if it is true love itself. And I learned na there is such a thing as 70% or 85% Love. Haha.... It's very interesting....

Last Party I went to: Pat's Pizza Hut B-day Bash!

Pat, congratulations! 17 ka na! Malapit ka ng maging 18! Hohoho! Sana nasiyahan ka sa kaguluhan natin. At napagalitan ako nung gabi.... Nasa baba ang dahilan....

Last Game I played with Friends: Counter-Strike with James, Pat and Mutt

Alam kong laos na ang larong ito pero nakakatuwa pa ring laruin ito pag marami kayo. Kasama na jan ang o2jam at Ragnarok. Pero kelangan kong pigilin ang bisyong ito. Kaya ako na-late sa klase the next day ay late na kaming nakauwi. Mga 11.30 na ata un. Pero I still had a great time. Galing talaga ng team-up namin ni James! Nahirapan talaga ang tag-team ni Pat and Matt. (*whistles) Uy! Rhyme! Haha!

Suprise of the week: Nang biglang umuwi ang parents ko sa Lipa nung thurs.

Naiwanan akong mag-isa bigla. Kakagulat nga e. Nagtext lang sila tpos pag dating ko sa bahay, parang naging ghosthouse. Pero ok lng. Sanay na ako sa independent life. Hehe.... Since hopefully malapit na akong magkalisensya. Kaso laging nasa kanila ung sasakyan. -_- Well, walang magagawa, sa kanila nakapangalan e.

Pagod na akong magsalita kaya naman, sa susunod na lang. Ang mga mangyayari next week, mukhang masaya! It all starts on Monday! =)

On Various Changes in Life

2006-11-19T22:45:00.000+08:00

The second semester has already started and I am quite at a loss. Haha.... I got my pre-majors (Math 53, EEE 11 & 31, Chem 16) and a GE (English 1). We have programming in EEE 11 so I want to say thanks to Ma'am Russell and Ma'am Obre for giving me a headstart/intro for that course. I hope to improve on my Math. Ma'am Teng! Help! Itayo ang bandera ng mga 44 peeps na taga-upd! (puro kinapos kame sa US at CS) Hehe....

We returned to Lipa yesterday, stayed at my lolo's place. Watched PBA and Manny Pacquiao there. Had a fun day. Too bad we didn't go to any mall.... -_- I hope to start driving after Christmas break. Yey! And I also hope to get a haircut by then. For now, I need a headband. Hehe.... My hair's too long, even longer than the time I was in Danzzone. Speaking of which, hindi pa ako nakakabalik ng DLSL at si Matt ay nakadalawa na ata.... -_- Congrats to Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for giving Filipinos something be proud of again. Go Purefoods, lakas n'yo talaga!

My injury is starting to heal but I still need to wear an ankle support. The tryouts is said to be within March. Hehe.... I beat Matt on a one-on-one last friday, 15-13. At yun ay dahil lang sa wala kaming magawa.... Haha.... Jowk. I have to get better. =)

Well, sinipag lang ako ngayon pero nagpupuyat na naman ako.... Hay.... 'Til next post! =)

Tracy Steps....

2006-10-27T18:56:00.000+08:00

Even though my right foot was involuntarily limping, my body didn't seem that unfit. Those shoes are really giving me luck. The shots I took while practicing we're good. On the other hand, the shots I took in the game were not so good except for that suprise 3 point shot that swished through the net. Well, as I hoped, my game is definitely improving. =p But the remaining problem is my damn ankle.... Hope it heals soon....

Eh!? Not so much....

2006-10-26T21:49:00.000+08:00

Jump Shot - A type of shot that involves jumping. Is nearly the same as the Set Shot except for that movement. Most often used when a player is a considerable distance away from the basket.

Ummm... The tryouts are suppossed to be by next week and this damn ankle of mine is still, if not slightly, sprained. I'll just have to try tomorrow.... May T-Mac bring me luck....

I've bought a DVD of Naruto so Migy, I'm not gonna nag you anymore about borrowing. Hehe.... It's up to episode 183, I think. I'm also waiting for the third movie to come out with subtitles. I've been also watching a series "House" and I think I'm gonna be stuck at it for a while.

I just watched (because I haven't played it as a whole) the ending of Final Fantasy 8. I'm also playing Valkyrie Profile as entertainment for my boring life. Haha.... Looks like an affinity for cool video games will always be with me even if I grow old. They're my substitutes to a thick story book. Hehe....

Ummm.... I think my sked next sem is a bit messed up. I have an afternoon class on Saturdays. So bye bye sweet long weekends! (poetic tone) Damn.... But the good news is, I passed Math! Yet somehow, my sked for Math 53 next sem is 7.00am MB306. It's the same room and time last sem! Well, an early sked might be good because for the past few days I have slept at 2 or 3 in the morning and wake up between 1 and 3 in the afternoon! It may have resulted from the excess boredom I have. However, I have wished for this vacation long enough during the first sem and I'm somewhat thankful that it has arrived.

Well. That about wraps it up. My life's still okay, if not, screwed. Haha....

Finals na! Ano 'to? Basketball?

2006-10-16T00:08:00.000+08:00

Hindi noh! Finals sa Math 17! Wahahaha!

It's been a while since my last post. pero in 13 hours and 45 minutes ay magsasagot na ako ng huling exam sa sem at makakapaglaro na uli ako kaya gagalingan ko na! Para sa pangarap ko! Joke! Kinakabahan na nga ako.... Pero it has been a fun and wild and wacky 1st sem. I bow to all the people who made all these things possible (Globe?) and Fun with a capital F. But I know next sem is better. I can't wait to meet my new classmates next sem. EEE, papasok n rn ako jan... Hehe...

Tapos, after some time, tryouts na.... Yey! Sana makapasok dn ako dun.... [Bow] (-_-)

Purefoods! Galingan nyo ha! Good Luck din sa Houston Rockets! Go! Yey!

Random Thoughts

2006-10-05T22:35:00.000+08:00

Ummm.... Is it Here or is it There? Crap, this is bad.... How will it be? Be a "waiter" or be a "gentleman"? Well, patience could be the answer.... I don't know what I'll believe.... Which is the Truth?

May I'll be able to solve this, but right now, I'm gonna concentrate on playing with the Basketball.... I'll try to reach my dream not only for me but for everyone else too.... =) So good luck to me!

*I made a promise to myself, and I hope not to break it....

Laziness

2006-10-04T11:08:00.000+08:00

I've been lazy these past few days and busy with a few other things....

This particular week has been very hectic with the end of the sem nearing. I'm surely gonna miss the friends and classmates I made this sem. Also my profs and teachers! Hehe...

Goodluck sa mga may Math 17. Kasama ako dun! At sana makaabot ako sa tryouts....

So baka di ko maupdate 'to mashado. Hehe...

Wala lang uli....

2006-09-19T21:10:00.000+08:00

What a day.... Wala lang.... It's gonna be my own secret.... Hehe....

At walang pasok bukas dahil Wednesday bukas! Yey!!!

In Memory of Pablo Neruda....

2006-09-11T22:24:00.000+08:00

Excerpt from Cien Sonnetos de Amor

XVII

I don't love you as if you were a rose a salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire;
I love you as one loves certain dark things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that rose
from the earth lives in my body in darkness.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where
I love you directly without problems or pride;
I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love

except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.

*Pablo Neruda is considered one the best poets during the 20th century.
(Based on Eng12, hehehe....)

So, wala lang na naman kasi akong magawa kaya nag-share na lang ako ng random thought.

Sensya na kasi tinatamad na naman ako.... 'Till next post!

P.S. Birthday nga pala ngayon ni Avis! Happy Birthday uli! Imbitahan mo kami sa debut mo next year ha! Hehehe....

Wala Lang....

2006-09-04T19:12:00.000+08:00

As in wala lang.... Hay.... Wala akong magawa sa buhay ngayon! Hay....

Presentations, Friends and Math 17!?

2006-08-18T23:23:00.000+08:00

I feel so stupid after our presentation in Kas 2. Haha... but that would be because I felt stupid acting as a Mongolian boatman defeated by the Divine Wind and as a maniacal representation of historical Japanese loss to Korea. However, I was so happy because I now proved how cool TFW, our section in Kas2, is. This was the feeling I felt when I was still in highschool. It's as if everyone of us has a connection with each other. That is so cool. =)

I also hung out with Matt's blockmates. I felt like I was a part of their 'block-ada'. Hehe.... After my Kas 2 class, Ephy, Ilsa, Emil, Matt and I chatted around the A.S. steps. The steps is really a cool sight to see. Hehe... Then on Ephy's car we (Ilsa, Matt, me and the owner, of course) went to the College of Human Kinetics a.k.a. the Gym to look for UAAP tickets for Sunday which unfortunately was sold out. Our next stop was PC Express where Matt and Ephy bought mice/mouses [is there such a word!?] then we marveled at the variety of CD designs at CD-R King. It turns out they have their own brand of MP3 players. And the last stop was at the {never-endless} Mcdo. I just remembered that we were talking about the 'self-supporting' students who sell pastellas and other delicacies. And also the rumor that Manny Pacquiao will be running Vice-Mayor in Manila. [He advertises Mcdo so it's just came out of the blue.] It was fun hanging out with them. Thanks guys!

And the Midterms results for Math 17 will be revealed on tuesday and Monday is Ninoy Aquino Day. I don't know what will happen when the results come out... I don't know what to expect... Hay... I'll just pray...

'Til next update! Thanks for taking time to visit my blog! =)

On Mid-Terms and Long Exams

2006-08-14T23:23:00.000+08:00

I got a 13/15 in Eng12 despite not reading much about Don Quixote.... Thank you Ma'am Angie! Hehe.... *wicked grin

I received the results of our long exam on MBB and I got an 82.84% passing rate. Thank God!

I'm going to present my 'artifact' and submit the take home quiz in Kas 2 tomorrow. I hope I will do well...

I will take my one and only mid-term exam (Math 17) on Wednesday 3.30pm onwards. How I wish Ma'am Teng would help me... *sigh

Next week I will have supposedly taken a long exam on both Drafting [Aug 19] and Math 17 [next wednesday?] (again...)

Well, I'm not gonna worry much. Just Pray. Then do my very very best. One step at a time.

P.S. Ang lakas ng ulan kanina tapos traffic jam pa ng 30 minutes, na-late tuloy ako (my very first) sa MBB at basang-basa yung pantalon, bag, jacket at payong ko....

I discovered a very cool place at SC. A Library/Bookstore/Dvd Store/CD Store/Accessory Store and it's utterly cool. I'm happy to have found that place, pwedeng tambayan. Haha....

Simple Sorrows....

2006-08-12T13:33:00.000+08:00

My uncle just passed away today.... Please pray for him.... Thank you....

How Pathetic.

2006-08-10T11:18:00.000+08:00

Those are the words always coming out of my mouth these past weeks. Sometimes I mean it literally, sometimes it's just a joke. Well, whatever it is, I still see a pathetic side in it. In the past I would usually swear worse than that but I've seen how big and diverse the world really is. College and highschool was just a small percent of what the world is really about. One would never realize how cruel and miserable life is unless he would experience it firsthand. What to do to people who do harm to you? Well, my outlook on that would be either you ignore them or if you can, try to help them change. And sometimes it's hard to see a person changing personality from something good to something bad.... Well, enough about the world.

Some happenings these past weeks since my last update:

+ My Math 17 is steadily improving. Weee!
+ I bought my Mp3 Player last week which was a Monday.
+ I finished watching the DVD of My Girl last weekend.
+ I got 77.5 in our first long exam in Drafting. Pathetic me....
+ My standing in Math 17 is 77. Can't get enough of 77's? Darn....
+ We're having our midterms in Math 17 next Wednesday.
+ Having eyebugs due to lack of sleep.
+ Waiting for Naruto to go back to original storyline.
+ Still doing house chores since mom ain't here.
+ Went to Robinson's Lipa the last 2 weekends.
+ Wanting to go to the basketball court but freakin' rain or shine won't let me.
+ Saw many familiar people like Ma'am Teng, Pat, Je but I missed seeing Arik... Awww...
+ Been thinking of things I'm not 'supposed' to be thinking. Is it really that bad?
+ I watched Sky High, EuroTrip, Girl Next Door, Pretty Persuasion, View from the Top, High School Musical since weekends up to yesterday.
+ Watched the James Yap Special last night on ABC 5. Hehe.... Mina, you should have watched that. =)
+ Never thought would be there.... I'm so 'Blind'*

Smile At Me

2006-08-07T13:11:00.000+08:00

by Rocksteddy

Funny how i fell for you
And the day you caught my eye
And my life had never been the same
Since the day i saw your smile

As you shine above of everyone
Stand out from the crowd
Some how i can find out what to say
You're indescribable

And you sweep me of my feet
Every time you smile at me
At me, at me
At me

Chorus:

You had my way
You always take my breath away
You set me free
When every time you smile at me

There's this feeling that i can't hide
That i couldn't get enough of you
I can't deny, i mesmerized
By the beauty of you smile

Cause you knock me of my seat
Every time you smile at me
At me, at me
At me

(repeat chorus 2 times)

I don't believe it! How could you!?!?

2006-07-25T00:01:00.000+08:00

[p.s. This just something that came to my mind. Intended to no one in particular. =D]

Wonderin' about....

2006-07-23T21:28:00.000+08:00

I'm really lazy these past days and I have a lot of stuff, i mean a LOT of stuff to do this week.

I have to read 'The Miser' for World Lit. I have to do research the 'Chronology of Japan' [a topic which I find really and highly interesting]. I have to do our problem set in Math... but even though I have to do those, my mind keeps reminding me of other things.... Basketball, Highschool, College, Computer, Jeeps, Max Delivery, Naruto among other things.

Nga pala, my mom celebrated her birthday last monday. La lang. And my dad is coming back this tuesday, which is half-day lang ako pero that is Library Day.... Ate Tin, gagawin ko na po. Hehehe.... Mejo strict leader namen e.... Hehe... pero I could use some of that to improve myself.

Ngayon lang uli ako nakapag-update kasi mejo nag-haywire yung Smart BRO this past week kaya naman naadik uli ako sa NBA Live 06 at MotoGP URT. Hehe.... Sensya na Matt, napapasarap tayo e.

At onga pala! CHAMPION ang Purefoods sa Philippine Cup! Yay! Si Marc Pingris ang Finals MVP at Most Improved Player. Si James Yap ang Season MVP. Cool! Kaya iinom na talaga ako ng Drinky!~~~

Muhkang maganda pala yung bagong album/single ni John Mayer. Di ba? hehe.... It's very meaningful, ain't it?

Well, I'm bushed. Next time na lang uli! Aral aral aral aral..... hay.... See ya around! ;p

Waiting On The World To Change.... =)

2006-07-20T23:37:00.000+08:00

By John Mayer

me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it

so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

A Fresh Start

2006-07-17T10:56:00.000+08:00

Hay.... A new week of classes uli....

Ang mahal ng readings namin sa World Lit. 104 pesos at yun ay kalhati na daw ng semester. May test kami sa thursday at yun ay tungkol sa first literary piece, ang 'De Cameron' at objective naman daw kaya hindi kailangan ng analysis. Yey!

Nga pala, nawalan ng pasok nung thursday last week kasi may bagyo, si Florita. Mawawalan kaya uli this week? Sana.... Hehe.... nung day palang yun ay nanlibre si Camyl ng ice cream sa Shopping Center bilang birthday bash niya. Haha! Astig noh?

Hay.... Wala bang easier method dun sa Math? Factoring Inequalities? Anyone? Kasi kung cube root/solution ay a staggering 6 solutions ang iyong ipag-uunite (union) at iiintersect (intersection) that applies the knowledge of sets. Maawa't mahabag! Kayang gawin yun pero ang haba talaga....

Speaking of union, [44] may balak na bang reunion? Wala lang, makikibalita lang kung meron na. Hehe....

PBA Finals Game 4, Wednesday, nood kau ha! Go Purefoods! MVP James Yap! Go! Go Drinky! Tikman nyo, astig! Wahaha!

Riding the "Yellow Cab"

2006-07-06T10:55:00.000+08:00

Kagabi nga pala (Miyerkules) ay nagkita-kita kami ng Quezon City JB44 na sina Audery, Carmina, James, Matt, Pat at ako. Kumain kami sa Yellow Cab at nagkamustahan.... Weee! Hindi na nakasama si Camyl dahil may test pa siya the next day at si Jeanelle naman ay hindi namin nacontact ng ayos. B-Day na nga pala ni Camyl next week at feeling ko ay manlilibre siya. {sadistic laugh}

Nagpapicture pala sina James at Pat kay Joaqui ng PBBTE. hehe... pero nagkwento si James tungkol kay Joaqui na sumisingit daw sa pila sa Caf [did I spell that ryt?]. hehe... tapos tinatanong ang mga love life na syempre ay wala ako dahil good boy ata ako ngayon. Wee!

Tapos si Mina ay nagkwento about an initiation-like event at her dorm. Mukhang not very positive yun e.... As far as i have heard. Tapos nagpicture pa si Mina.... Tignan ko sa Multiply mamaya.... yun lng, next tym na lang.

Gusto kong manood ng isang Finals Game! Sa Araneta! Weee!

The day before the dreaded "Math 17 Long Exam"

2006-07-06T10:42:00.000+08:00

Wala lang. Nagjojoke at nang-iintriga na naman yung prof namin sa Math 17. Assuming. Hehe.... Sabi niya, dadating daw siya sa classroom bukas ng mga 6.30 ng umaga. 20 item lang ata daw yung exam pero napakahaba daw nun.... Hay.... Kelangan ko ng mag-aral.... Pero bago ang lahat, kelangan kong kumuha ng xerox ng readings sa MBB na ang author ay si Barnum. Wahaha....

Naging fruitful naman ang World Lit namin. Ansaya-saya! A poem about love, lol. Title nya ay "Wish" ni Victor N. Sugbo. It's a translated Waray poem. Weee.... Whatever....

Kelangan kong itanong kay Camyl kung mahirap ba ang naging Long Exam nila.... hmmm....

Nanalo pala ang Purefoods kagabi. Mga 10.30 na natapos yung game sa TV. hehe....

Go Purefoods! Go James Yap! Go Drinky! [yey! wahahaha!]

Another half-day....

2006-07-03T11:09:00.000+08:00

I just came from U.P. My next class is MBB 1 (Molecular Biology & Biotech) at 2.30p.m. I returned at home to eat lunch para less gastos. Hehe....

I woke up at exactly 4.3oa.m. just before my alarm went off. Is it intuition? Haha....

My first class is Math 17 w/c is College Algebra and Trigonometry, I think. My prof just had his/her hair straightened/rebonded which is very awakening! He showed us our scores in the problem set and our very first quiz [not exam] and I think I'll have to start to read my notes to say the least. I'll focus on it until I get at least 1 perfect scored exam/exercise. How nerdy.... Haha!

My second class was a bit more confusing. It's Eng 12 (World Literature). We were supposed to analyze some translated Waray poem and answer his questions. The subject is too jargonic (is there such a word?) for me. Ever heard of perpetualization? Hegemony? He dismissed the class early due to [my classmates think] his dissatisfaction to our answers. What is the view used in the poem? {I answered, "Sir, aesthetic view?"} Is it a dialectic analysis? Why do you say so? {"No, because it doesn't involve percepting the politics behind the poem."} Any other answer? After that, no one else seemed willing to answer. Actually, I also ran out of aces for that follow-up question.... I thought it was enough as an answer. Seems literary analysis is not gonna be easy this sem....

*You should hear his analysis on Rambo. It's so cool! And I'm not being sarcastic. Swear!

After that, I encountered Jeanelle and Audrey. Auderz was going to the OUR and Jenealle was going to the Math Building. Me? I was going to the Math Building to ask my prof for reconsideration in our quiz. Turns out to be that I was successful! Yey! Nakita ko rin si Suchi [pronounced like the Japanese delicacy] yung kaklase ko sa Kas 2 (Kasaysayan ng Asya). Hehe...

Tapos eto ako ngayon, kakain ng tanghalian! Yey! Next time na lang uli! Weee!

First Time at Divisoria

2006-07-01T23:04:00.000+08:00

Wehehe.... Kakapagod maglakad dun....

Gumising ako kaninang mga 11.30 ng umaga tapos naligo at kumain. Tapos pupunta daw kami "Divi" para bumili ng cargo shorts ko. Weee! Mga 2.30 na kami nakaalis ng bahay. Bakit cargo shorts? Ang init kasi sa U.P. lalo na 'pag nakapantalon. Tsaka mas komportable ako 'pag naka-shorts lang. So lumabas kami tapos yung buhok ko ay radically na nakatirik.... Nagmumukha na naman akong anime character. Haha! Dami tao sa LRT. And to specifically name the place we went, it's called 168 [Shopping] Mall.

Akala ko nga nung una, sina Mama lang ang bibili at tagabuhat lang ako. Hay.... pero nakabili naman ako nung pahuli na. Kalimitan mga Chinese yung mga nagmamanage nung stall. Unang beses kong pumunta dun kasi malimit akong di nasama 'pag pumupunta dun sina Mama at aking mga ate. Nakabili ako ng cargo shorts, sandals at C2 dun! May nakita pa nga akong Rockets na jersey dun, so pinabili ko rin. Tapos mga 7.30 na kami nakauwi. Hay.... Napagod ako dun....

Next time na lang uli! Go Purefoods! Go James Yap! Go Drinky! [hehehe]

College becomes Reality

2006-06-25T21:23:00.000+08:00

Huwaw! Ngayon lang uli ako makakapag-update ng Blog dahil ngayon lang nakabit yung Smart BRO. Weeee!

It's been 2 weeks since the classes officially started. Iba talaga ang College Life. Puro naghahanap ng 1 x 1 pic at index card ang mga prof namin. Hehe. Pero masaya talaga!

Pinaka-exciting ang MBB 1 (Molecular Biology and Biotechnology). Kaklase ko si Mikko dun. Tapos yung ES 1 (Engineering Science a.k.a. Drawing) ang hirap. Hehe....

Malapit sina Pat at James sa bahay namin. Yung Golden Cresent ay sa labas lang ng Xavierville Phase 2. Tapos si Carmina sa Ateneo nakatira. Sina Mikko at Camille nasa Kalayaan Residence. Weee! Pwede tayong magkita-kita!

Kanina nagpapicture uli ako kasi naubos na yung 1 x 1pics ko.... Huhu.... P100, 6 pcs. Mas mura talaga sa Picture City sa Robinson's Lipa....

Hay.... Nanalo pa pala ang Miami Heat.... Wawa naman si Dirk Nowitzki.... Tapos 3-1 lead pa ang Alaska sa Purefoods....

Masaya ang College Life pero nakakamiss pa rin talaga ang hayskul. Ingatz ingatz! Ü

2006-05-18T21:44:00.000+08:00

Well, I had drum practice nung morning tapos pumunta sa Rob para kumain ng lunch. Naglaro din ako dun sa TimeZone sa labas ng NBS at natalo ko na yung unang boss! Kaso di ko na tapos kasi paalis na daw kami. Hehe.... That cost me 30 pesos to just finish that first boss at 2 lives na lang ang natira sa akin.

"Wala namang masyadong nangyari...." What an understatement. Hehe....

It's been 10 years since my last grand birthday party. Haha.... Here's what happened:

12.30 am

I received birthday greetings from mykel and pat which is very much appreciated. :D

1.00 am

We arrived at Xavier Row. Unpacked and left the furnitures there then went back to Lipa

3.00 am

We arrived back in Lipa. Slept agad.

11.30 am

Woke up early because I expected Arik to come really early. Nadisappoint ako, haha.... joke!

1.50 pm

Mavic was the first one to arrive. :) Took a tour at our house. Then, sabay-sabay dumating sina Arik, Camyl, Pat, Ana and Raefee. Sinundo namin sila sa kanto. Tapos si Matt ay dumating then Carmina and then James and Rev. And last, ang ever late na si Migy. Hehe.... Peace! 'Di na nga nakapunta si Vernix dahil may emergency sa kanila.

3.00 pm

Dumating si Mama along with the food. Kwentuhan, Kainan at Tawanan. Saya talaga.... Nakaka-miss talaga ang hayskul. Hehe....

4.50 pm

Nag-request si Mavic na aalis na siya kasi hanggang 5.00pm lang daw ang pinayagan siya. Tapos sumabay na si Arik at Rev. Sinamahan ako ni Matt para ihatid sila sa kanto. Nagkwentuhan about college at mga shifting ng courses. Arik and his Trimester Schedule. Rev's Life in Los Banos. Matthew and his shifting to Business Administration next year (30 units pa! Hehe). Mavic and her supposed 2nd year in college at UP Diliman. Me and my impending college life and Calculus (Math 17). Huhu....

5.20 pm

Pinapauwi na rin daw si Ana. So sumabay na sina Pat, Camyl and Raefee. Kwentuhan uli about
their coming college year. Tapos sinundo na rin si Mina mula sa bahay namin tapos hinatid na namin si Migy.

6.30 pm

Matthew, Marky (his younger brother) and I decided to go to Robinson's to play TimeZone.

7.00 pm

We arrived at Rob. We saw Macky, Matt's former tennis mate. We also saw Sir Bryan who beat us three times in that basketball shooting game with his Whoopin' 117 points. I can't even manage a consistent 50 point game. Haha! We played Air Hockey, a gun shooting game, Dance Freaks and Percussion Freaks. Weee!

8.15 pm

We decided to eat at Mcdo Uptown. Mabagal yung counter na napilahan namin pero ok lang. Before we ordered, I showed to Matt the ad board of the Binibining Lipa. Go Kaycee! Tapus yun, usap-usap lang.

9.15 pm

Nakauwi na rin ako. Tapos umalis na sina Matt papuntang Paranaque. Weee! Isang napaka-adventurous na Birthday. Hehe.... Can't ask for anything more... or maybe not. Hehe....

If I said, did, made or posted something wrong, I hope you can forgive me. [Don't worry, I'll follow what you want.] After this, it will be a long time before I say anything again about you. I just had to say this because there might be no other way or chance to say it. Maybe this will goodbye to you for now. Again, I hope you can forgive me....

Hehe.... That's all for now. Kailangan na naming lumipat sa Quezon City this Friday. Baka dun na sunod kong celebration. Salamat sa lahat ng pumunta ngayon! :D At sana dun sa mga 'di nakapunta e makapunta kayo next time. Kahit sunduin ko pa kayo sa Lipa. Hehe.... Tsaka Good Luck sa College!

P.S. In case na maging curious kayo, yung title ng post na ito ay Japanese translation ng Happy Birthday.

Later! XD

Si Pareng Caloy....

2006-05-15T20:11:00.000+08:00

Umm.... After almost 3 days without Electricity and Water (as in buhay bundok), ay makakapag-update na uli ako.

Nawalan ng kuryente sa amin mga 2am of Saturday while I was watching PBB Uplate. Wala na nga ako sa balita. Saturday passed by without much except the continuous blowing of the wind....

Sunday, we had to go to church but first, we had breakfast at Mcdo uptown. Sumabay kami kina Tito Edmund on the way to church dahil nakasabay din namin sila sa Mcdo. After church, we went to Robinson's to buy supplies. Nakita ko pa nga si Audrey sa Pizza Hut. Weee! Tapos sa bahay, tumawag lang ako kay Mina at Migy. Nakibalita at nagplano sa May 17.

Monday, naghihintay lang na magkakuryente. Naggitara. May drums pa nga uli ako bukas. Tapos baka sa Rob na lang B-day celebration.... Naka-empake na kasi yung ibang gamit namin.... Bahala na, try kong pilitin si mama....

Pakitext naman ng BB Mikee at i-send sa 2331. Salamat! :D

Later!

Yey! 'Eto na. Officially na akong nakapag-enroll kahapon. Weee! Nakita ko pa nga si Camyl. Weee! Ang saya rin nung Freshmen Orientation Program the next day. I learned lots of stuff as well as having a tour around the Big Campus of Diliman. Hindi ko natapos yung enrollment ko nung tuesday dahil sa validation nung medical certificate kaya Wednesday ko pa un natapos. 'Di ko nakita si Audery pero sabay kami na Tuesday ang enrollment. Pero sa 2 days na yun ay sobra akong napagod kaya maaga akong nakakatulog.... Heee!

I don't have a lot to say. Basta, malapit na May 17. Sana makapunta lahat ng JB44 bago magpasukan. :D

Later! :)

DOST and Woes!!!!

2006-04-17T18:51:00.000+08:00

I just came from Manila along with my mom. The very reason was because my Ate Vannie fell from the stairs of our apartment in Xavierville last night. Ate Patty said that Ate Vannie was having chills. That really had my mom worried so, for me, I just slept for 3 and a half hours. (1am-4.30am)

The bus we rode had us standing until we got to Turbina Station. To compensate to that mind and body numbing experience, I got to sit with just half my butt on a seat during the remainder of the journey. We arrived at the apartment at about 9am. We bought breakfast from Jollibee Katipunan and (at last!) reloaded our cellphone credits.

I bandaged my sister's left sprained ankle. Ate Patty went to Ateneo to get her grades. I slept for about three hours up until 1 in the afternoon. That made me a bit lazy throughout the whole day.... lol.... Too bad, I can't join the hacienda peeps.... Sorry guys, just have fun there, ok? :)

Ate Vannie still had an interview at Chikka.com in 3pm so we had to go to Phil. Stock Exchange (at the back of SM Megamall) and took a taxi to get there. I was told by the security guard that I was not allowed to enter through the main entrance because I was wearing slippers and a sando/muscle shirt so I was supposed to enter through the basement entrance. Waaaaaaa!~~

So we just left Ate Vannie there and went to SM Megamall to have lunch like in around 4 in the afternoon? Haha! We met up in Megamall and caught a bus ride again going to Lipa. I had the chance of sitting beside Aldrin Galang, my former schoolmate but he doesn't know me. *ehem* Too bad.

Well, that's about it. I'm gonna watch A Walk To Remember later. Yey! See ya around! XD

Easter Sunday

2006-04-16T21:20:00.000+08:00

We celebrate today the ressurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We also celebrate today the very foundation of Catholic and Christian Faith.

We celebrated also the birthday of my cousin Ritz so we went to their place for a swimming party. Ironically, I didn't swim. I just didn't feel like it so I was held responsible for the babysitting of the twins, Natasha and Nicola. It really gave me quite an exercise. The food was good also. Thank you Auntie Jojet! Weee! :)

Nothing much happened. I still can't convince my mom to allow me to go to the outing on thursday. Too bad....

I just watched PBA. Too bad, Air 21 lost to Talk 'n Text. I didn't finish watching it because TNT was ahead by 10 points with less than a minute to play. On NBA, Orlando is really gonna get better. Real good basketball. I just hope Houston and Seattle can come back next season. :)

Well, I'm bushed with the hassle of babysitting.... Catch you later!

My Penitence, My Sorry, My Good Friday....

Drum Lesson #1.5

2006-04-13T18:02:00.000+08:00

I just came from the Guitar Lesson/Workshop. It took place during 2.30 to 5.00 in the afternoon. I relearned how to strum with the tap but I'm not naturally gifted for guitar so I have to practice again. After the workshop, some of the guys (including me) went up for some drum practice. I really have to practice that also even with just tapping something. Well, now, I have to memorize the counting for the sixteen beat. It's 1 E N Da 2 E N Da 3 E N Da 4 E N Da... and so on. Practice and practice and practice and practice and practice and practice and practice and practice and practice! Got a lot of things to do this summer.... XD

At about 12.30am midnight, I was watching my ever sought after movie Little Manhattan. Weeee! Nakakabitin nga yung istorya e.... "Rosemary, rosemary, ROSEMARY!" Nakaka-inspire! LOL. I also began watching The Passion of Christ but I haven't finished it. Gonna continue it later.

And Fate really has some playful ways to piss one off. I saw her again in a jeep going to Lipa as I was on the way home. Well, what the heck?

Gonna be playing Counter Strike again all the way! later. Yey!

"At grade school, there was a belief that something bad
will happen when a girl touches you...."

P.S.
~ Pat, anong ipagkasundo? Please elaborate. Haha!

Drum Lesson #1 + Double Trouble

2006-04-12T21:43:00.000+08:00

As usual, we were late for today's music session. We reached the place about an hour late. Freakin' Traffic! It's so traffic in Lipa at around 8 to 9am. (Arik, I won't get it wrong again! Haha!) But well, I can't anything about that.

So I learned the basic rhythm of the drums and it was cool! I had to use counting but it's really hard since it's my first time to take on a drum set. One has to really have good body coordination because I was having problems with the bass drum which you pedal with your right foot for it to produce sound. As with my experience with the guitar, I'll be practicing drums so I can be better. The counting I used was 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.... I really like drums more than the guitar. I really liked it even when I was at elementary school. Kuya Mark also taught me and Matthew the sixteen beat which uses sixteenth notes or 1/4 of a beat. It could be played along with the song Narda. Weee!

We had lunch at my lolo and lola's place which is very near the Star Tollway. Porkchops, Hotdogs, and Ginataang something (I can't quite remember how they called it.). Drool.... And another thing. The twins were there too! Yey! Lola Marlou, Auntie Vannie, Auntie Patty, Uncle Paolo and Tito Matthew had to play and babysit with them. Haha! I realized that I really like kids. :)

Then my mom asked my cousin and the mother of the twins, Ate Princess if we (referring to the five babysitters from the preceding paragraph) could babysit during the whole afternoon at our house and she agreed! Yey! I really look like a dad right now with the beard and gaunt face I have. Hehe.... Well, to summarize it all, we were plain exhausted from two little children running round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and God, round! How many times was that? I lost count.... Vannie ni-chan also rode with Matthew on the way to Paranaque because she was going to an outing with friends at Subic.

After that we returned to my lolo and lola's place which we call bukid. Then we had merienda at Red Ribbon then got groceries from Big R where I saw Spye and at Greenwich I saw my ex but I do hope she didn't see me. Lol. That's past already.

Btw, I got my ever wanted DVD, Little Manhattan. Yey! These past few days, good things are coming to me, I observe. I'm gonna watch it tomorrow along with The Passion of Christ to commemorate Maundy Thursday. :)

Well, that's about it. See ya around! Counter Strike all the way! Hehe....

Counter Strike Flashbacks & Mushu Dragon

2006-04-11T23:16:00.000+08:00

Well, I'm just about to end this day to a good night's sleep but I almost forgot to say some things.... Hehe... So here I am. =D

I woke up early in the morning at about 6am (edited, sorry. haha), anticipating my yearbook and summer music workshop in the inverted order to happen throughout this day. Well, of course, I really hate wakin' up but I have to, right?

We arrived 30 minutes late in the summer workshop but that's okay since we were always late. I was along with my sister, Patricia, and Matthew, who slept at our house anticipating the yearbook giving. We discussed a few more things about Music Theory, How to play chords and all about RHYTHM. (FYI: It's the longest word consisting of only consonant letters. XD) It turns out we will be having a test about it next week and I don't even have notes! OMG! Well, I'll just have to rely on photographic memory. But the good thing is tomorrow's lesson is about DRUMS DRUMS DRUMS and some bass guitar! I can at last achieve my dream of learning it! Yeah!

After the lecture we headed to La Salle to try and pry for our yearbook. I'm already happy just seeing her from a distance. Turns out the person-in-charge of the distribution was currently having lunch. So we just went home to eat lunch also. After eating, I was playing Counter Strike at home, killing Bots along the way. My nicknames always caught the attention of the people I'm playing with and much to my sadness, Arik stumbled upon one of my favorites nicknames, "Mushu Dragon". The name originated while I was playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The name was owned by the small dragon who is a character in the Disney production, Mulan. So Arik always jibed me because of the nicknames I use.

So Matthew and I (we're both single and available. LOL), went back to La Salle to get the yearbook. We got it from Sir Victorio Loreto who was sporting a white shirt and black pants. We were wondering what to do next, so next stop Robinsons Lipa. Before we could even enter the mall, we saw Rev, Chamie and James. I was disappointed they didn't confirm about the supposed basketball game I was asking them about a week ago. Well, never mind. It was afternoon by the time we met up. After that we went back to La Salle to escort Chamie for his yearbook. Then we hanged out with some of our classmates at the SAO Office which lasted for about 30 minutes.

We then played Counter Strike at MVL Building.

The players: Chamie, Jordan, Mykel, Matthew, James, Mags, Benjo and me.
The audience: Arik, Raemart and Pat.
Outcome: I partially sucked, excluding some incredible and pressured kills I did to them. (Pretty biased? nah! It's true!)

During our latter playing, the subject about my nickname, "Mushu Dragon" came up because of who else? Arik. Too bad in computer # 13, the keyboard sucks. I can't even change my name. Darn. Then someone came up with the idea to relate the nicknames to the girls and controversies I was linked to during my highschool years. A flashback??? It would all come back to me. Karma? I don't know. Maybe.

So here's a list of the names as far as I can remember them. {Yung iba ay pawang katotohan ngunit yung natitirang iba ay purong kalokohan at kabulastugan lamang. Hulaan nyo na lang kung saan mapapasama ang pangalang iyon. HAHA!!}:

+ Mushu Dragon (@ Chamie)
+ *Mushu Dragon(2) (@ James)

Hanggang dun lang yung natandaan ko e. Basta, iisang babae lang ang sumasakop sa puso't isipan ko ngayon. LOL. And Mykel, parang totoo ata yung sinabi ni Pat tungkol kay (di pedeng sabihin e).....

After 2 and a half hours of pure freakin' killin', kumain kami nina Matthew, Raemart at ako sa StarMart. Masarap talaga yung pinipig ice cream! Drool.... Then I had to buy some things at NBS and Big R. I saw Joyii ni-chan at KFC! Long time no see! Hehe.... Kasama nya ata mommy nya.... Tama ba? Pero syempre di nya ako nakita! Hahaha! I bought 4 white boxes at NBS, 1 evap and 6 eggs at Big R.

Then home sweet home! Nagliwaliw lang ako with DVD's and Movies. I watched Fantastic Four DVD and The Matrix Reloaded which I got from LimeWire. Nothing much to say.... Kailangan ko na nga palang mag pre-enlist sa UP. Hehe....

What a day! Now, gotta get some sleep.... Sweet dreams! Zzzzzzzz..... XD

Uploaded some pics. Won't even bother to put captions. Freakin' hell.

I hope I wasn't able to feel things....
People might think I am not bothered by what they say, but in reality,
I'm also human....
They hurt me....
Words can pierce through realtionships, through confidence...
through one's heart and feelings.
How hard can it hit? Worse than an arrow piercing one's heart,
begging death.
It can be worse than death....
It can condemn a life worse than hell....
It can break all the love one so delicately grew....
Patient nurturing gone as fast as a blink of an eye....
I just hope to survive in this piece of crap....

4 days after a milestone of my life, here I am again! Alive and ass kickin'!

Graduation was good, it won't exceed any other than that. 'Coz it's happy and sad. Very busy otherwise. I'm gonna post some (pixelated and blurry) pictures on my multiply site some time later. Basta sa 'Afril' este April 11 ang distribution ng yearbooks! Can't wait to get mine. :)

You may have been wonderin' as to why I just appeared as of late. Meron kasi kaming GIA (stands for Group Intensification Activity a.k.a. outing) na pinutahan sa Casa (formerly Villa) Corazon which is located at Calaca, Batangas. And it was freakin' hot there during the afternoon. (You could gather a bucket of water from sweating, I think.) Sadly, my dad didn't allow me to bring the digicam there. :( Can't take pictures....

On the way to Calaca, I rode with Mykel's van (A member of a 4-car convoy). There were 11 of us in the van: Mykel's tito, Mykel himself, James, Matthew, Chamie, Raemart, Pat, Amabelle, Jemima and yours truly. We met Arik, Jordan and Cocoi on the way. The other cars/vehicles are composed of Pauleen's car, Camyl's Van and Avis's car. Ansaya talaga! Tuksuhan, lokohan to the MAX! Raemart and Pat kept coaxing me (is it grammarically correct?) to confess my 'feelings' daw and it turned out na nililink na naman nila ako kay Amabelle which is not true. Isa lang babae ang sumasakop sa puso't isipan ko ngaun at yon ay walang iba kundi si (S-E-C-R-E-T)! Pat, Raemart, Migy, meron tayong "paraan ng pagiging ninja", ang ating deal. :D

Nung dumating kami ay SOBRANG init! At nag-ihaw muna sila ng Tilapia (c/o Krist's Group! OMK!) And after eating, I was second to Mutt and Raemart to swim. Basta matagal kami nagbabad. wehehehehe. Nung magtagal nga sabi ko sa sarili ko, "Yey! Pwede na akong mamatay kasi nakakita na ako ng diyosa!" Wahahaha! lol. I was really happy na by that time. Weh! Then nagluto kami ng Spaghetti! (c/o Spaghetti Group!) Masarap naman cya.... Hehe! Ako nug-cut nung hotdog kaya mejo magulo ung mga hati ng hotdog.... Masaya yung game na ipunan ng tubig. Nashock ata sila dun sa huli kong ginawa. Kaya pala ako dinare.... Pipiktsuran nyo pala ako.... Haha!

Masaya talaga mag-gitara kaso hindi na natuloy ang Pao Sessions dun e. Inantok na kasi ung iba. After eating dinner (lyk in 10pm?), I was just playing and singing with the guitar in our room (Room #3). Then Matthew entered and we jammed a little and I was literally shouting with the song "Narda". Kahit isang sulyap lang Darna! After that we had a midnight swim (Camyl, Yvonne, Pat, Arik, James, Chamie, Matthew and I) along with a few scares. Nagtatakutan kasi sa Room #4 sina Polin, Ana, Trish, Kaycee, Amabelle, Cocoi at Jemima.

Then my body was already screaming "SLEEP! SLEEP!" so I told them I was gonna doze off a little bit. Then nagtatakutan na sila and I awoke 'coz of a a girl's voice saying "Hindi nyo ba kami naririnig sa loob ng kwarto namin?" or something like that. So our room which was originally occupied by just three boys was suddenly filled with 9 people (James & Kaycee, Je & Amabelle, Raemart, Chamie, Jordan, Matthew & I). After a while, the girls from Room #4 came knocking on our doors but Jordan was literally blocking the door as he was sleeping.

I later learned that they were scared because the shower in their room opened by itself. (My hypothesis: Someone left it open. There was no water running starting midnight becuase the tank was gathering water. [the casa is elevated from the ground.] The water then flowed by that time, running water through the left-open showerhead).

I woke up by 7am in the morning with the Breakfast group saying, "It's eating time!". After eating, I didn't really want to swim again because I had a bruise on my foot. Nothing much happened then. Everybody was just preparing for departure except for a few individuals who were still playing charades in the pool.

After departing, we ate at McDonalds Lemery. The food was good but the service was funny. Even the security guard was serving the food! Wahahaha! Pero tahimik lang ako nun.... kasi... ah basta! Never mind... Then umuna na sina Polin, Trish, Ana at Cocoi. Then tinatanong ako nung mga natira kung bakit ako tahimik. lol. Tapos bigla pang natapon ung ice sa Coke ko. (Ice lng naman yung natitira nung natapon e.) Para daw dejavu.... Hulaan nyo kung bakit. :P Tapos yun, umuwi na rin kami.

Sorry Pikachu, hindi kita nabigay.... hehe....

Kaso nakakabitin talaga ang outing na ito.... Namimiss ko na classmeyts ko kaagad!

After 11 freakin' years!

2006-04-03T21:19:00.000+08:00

Weh! Graduate na tayo! DLSL HS BATCH 2006! For me it took 11 years in the making. Weeee! Kaso di ako nasisiyahan dun sa Alumni Card. Internet Explorer pa rin ng Windows 98 yun e! Yuck! Wahahaha!

Guys, Batchmates, Classmates! Mahal ko kayong lahat! Salamat sa memories at pangungulit! Now, it's back to where we started. We're going to meet new people, new teachers, new places and new subjects! But we now have a strong background and experience to bring on on these supposed 'new' things, OUR HIGHSCHOOL LIFE.

Kaycee quoted nga na "The hard thing is not getting in, but rather Staying In."

Napansin nyo ba yung verse na sinabi nung speaker? Well, here it is:

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

(1)If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.(2)And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.(3)If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.(4)Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;(5)it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;(6)it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.(7)Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.(8)Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.(9)For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;(10)but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.(11)When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.(12)For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.(13)So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Wala lang.... basta Happy Graduation! at Arik, hindi cheesy ang blog ko!!!! grrrr.... lol

Patience is Man's Secret to Success

2006-04-01T22:33:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the baccalaureate mass and recognition day (honor's assembly). Pictures HERE.

Wala naman masyadong nangyari. (Wala daw?) Migy, Trixie, Aaron and I were included in the supposed proxy "Mass Choir". Nakakahiya nga eh. Magaling naman yung pari, magaling mag-magic! Weee! Napaka-entertaining nyang mag-homily kaso hindi ako naiyak dun sa thanking of people. Kalimitan ay yung mga teachers at parents ang umiiyak such as Ma'am Teng, Ma'am Del, Ma'am Eva (Nova), Ma'am Angie. Nakapagtataka nga at hindi umiyak si Mrs. J. [Ano ga iyon?!] Hehe....

E2 ung naintindihan ko sa homily ni Father; "To make coffee, you need coffee powder, a mug, some hot water and Equal (fiber creamer?). But do you know what makes it sweet? No, it's not Equal, it's the stirring!" Weee! Talas ng memory ko noh? jowk!

Tapos nun e naganap kaagad yung honor's assembly. Of course, dahil nagsawa talaga ako sa La Salle ay nagkaroon ako ng pinagpipitagang Loyalty Award/Medal. Yun lang talaga siguro ang medal na makukuha ko sa hayskul. Matatalino talaga kasi mga ka-batch ko. Astig talaga ang Batch 2006! Then natapos din sa wakas ang recognition day! Weee!

Card Giving na ang sumunod. Dun ko nalaman na 85 lang ako sa COMPUTER!!!! Sa lahat ba naman ng subjects! Kasumpa-sumpa! Bea ROMAN, I will never forget you! grrrr.... arF! Kaya pala sumablay talaga ako sa 4th quarter. Kasi naman, napakawalang-kwenta ng lab. Binabahayan ng sandamakmak na virus! Imbis na makatulong sa estudyante, perwisyo ang dinudulot. [Parang sa Ekonomiks ang statement na yun ah...] Well, WTF! Buhay nga naman o!

Dinaan ko na lang sa kain ang galit at panghihinayang ko sa grades ko. Pero at least ay makakagraduate na ako. So pumunta kami ng Max's Restaurant sa tabi ng future SM Lipa kasama ang aking ina, si Tita Mayette at si Mutt. Dun nga din pala kumain si Mina, ang parents nya at ang kanyang nakababatang kapatid. At biglang dumating ang Marasigan Clan! As in clan, ang dami talaga nila! Siyempre, nagbatian kami at nagkwentuhan. Tapos sinabi ko kay Carmina ang maaaring mangyari sa Love Life kong walang pag-asa! Wahahaha! Parang bang "Conclusion of my Heart"? Medyo malapit sa kanta ni Lindsay Lohan.... LOL. Masarap naman yung pagkain kaso ambagal ng service sa Max. Tapos yun, dapat ay luluwas na sina Mutt pero sabi ko e magbasketball muna kaming dalawa sa kanila.

Tsaka ko naalala ang jacket ko/ng dad ko. Salamat talaga AVIS!!!! Well, enough about that. So naglaro kami.... Shooting shooting muna. 5 out of 10 from 3 point area ako sa shooting na yun, ang gaganda kasi ng mga assists ni Mutt. Hehe.... Tapos, one-on-one kami. Nung makakalhati kami ng game ang score ay 8-11. (11 ako) Kaso di na ako nakashoot after nun, naubos talaga stamina ko kakabantay sa kanya. So natapos ay 20-13, talo ako. Tapos nun ay napagod na siya at naligo bago sila lumuwas papuntang BF Homes pero tuloy pa rin ako sa shooting. Well, may magagamit na ako next time. Sky Hook at Fadeaway shot. Wahahaha! Then hinatid nila ako sa amin at iniwan sakin ni Mutt ung nasirang gitara. Ipapakita daw ata yun sa graduation as proof na may nasira. *no comment*

Tapos nanakit yung kamay ko. It was sore for throughout the night because of 3 hours of continuous shooting. Kakafollow-through e. So tinulog ko na lang ang sakit. E may prayer meeting pa nun dito sa amin. Natulugan ko tuloy....

The next day, lumuwas ang parents ko sa San Pablo [it's about the apartment], at ang mga ate ko sa Manila [School thing]. So I was alone until 2pm ng hapon. Nag-imbita pa nun si Mina na mag-sine sa Rob nung madaling-araw. Mga 12 dapat ang meeting time kaso di ako makaalis ng bahay. Di naman daw nakapagreply si Mavic, walang maghahatid kay Avis at tulog pa si Mina nung mga time na yun. So in short, hindi rin na2loy. LOL. So naglinis na lang ako ng bahay. (Reflex nang maglinis e... hehe....)

Ininstall ko d2 sa comp namin yung counter-strike para kapag wala akong magawa. Hehehe....

Pumunta kami sa Robinsons nung gabi para kumain. Sarap talaga ng Big Time Meal C! Wahaha! Tataba na ata ako. Weee! Tapos eto, type ako ng post ko sa Blog ko. Balak kong mag-Pao Sessions bukas para at least before graduation. :D Wala lang.... Basta, Patience lang muna paiiralin ko ngayon kapag matters of the heart na ang pag-uusapan.... May nakapagsabi sa akin dati na malalaman mo na hindi Infatuation ang nararamdaman mo if it exceeds the tests of time. [Pero I'm thankful your presence in my life gave me the motivation again to continue living and accepting the challenges in my life.] Thank You sa mga taong nakilala ko at nakadaupang-palad sa Buhay Hayskul! Ipag-pray din natin si Jiaan so he can be successful in the path he has taken. Gud Luck Jiaan! Kasama ka pa rin namin sa puso't isipan namin kahit malayo ka samin. :)

So, Monday ay ang BIG NIGHT ng DLSL Highschool Batch 2006! Congratulations sa ating lahat for a job well done these past four years. Kudos! Good Luck sa College Life!

CONCLUSION:

Mahal ko kayong lahat!

Some may hate me, some may love me. Thank you for whatever appreciation you have....

My One and Only You

2006-04-01T01:47:00.000+08:00

I do not want you to be involved with me at this time

After all the things that have and will happen to me

I also want to be sure of myself

I want to know more about myself

I do not want to rush you

I do not want to commit the same mistake to you

On a wise man's eyes,

Our lives are but just starting

It is enough for me

That you became the reason

That I still desire to live

After the biggest mistake of my life

And thank God, it was because of you

My one and only you....

Ummm.... Na-inspire lang ako dun sa song ng Parokya, hehe.... based ata yang poem sa isang true story? Ewan ko, wahahaha! Bukas na ako gagawa ng post tungkol sa baccalaureate mass at recognition day (a.k.a. Honor's Assembly). LOL

Lipat Bahay Gang

2006-03-26T03:18:00.000+08:00

Natulog ako hanggang 4 in the afternoon pero kumain naman ako ng Brunch e. Tapos nalaman ko na luluwas na naman kami ng parents ko dahil maglilipat kami ng apartment. Actually, magkatabi lang yung dalawang apartment kaso mas mura at economic yung lilipatan namin. Kung sa U.P. ako papasok e sa malamang dun ako titira. Maganda naman yung place. 2 bedrooms in the 2nd floor tapos 1 living room that doubles as kitchen and dining room.

Mga 6pm na kami nakaalis ng bahay. E naactivate ko na yung Unlimitxt ko. So as pampalipas oras, nag group text na ako. Una pang napag-usapan e Lakers. Papasok yun sa playoffs.... I foresee... Baka mali rin. hehe... lolx XD Tapos kumain kami sa Uncle ko kasi binalik yung sasakyang pinanghatid sa amin kahapon. Yung insan ko e graduating, Industrial Eng'g from U.P. sabi ay mag-U.P. na nga lang daw ako. Marami naman daw Scholarships na binibigay sa Engineering Students.

Tapos hayun, Eat n' Run kami. Tapos nagsimula na ang Lipat Bahay Gang. mga 10.30pm na ata kami nakapagsimula. Natapos namen ng roughly 12.30am. Tapos yun, umuwi na kami. Nakakagulat talaga nung may nagtext ng sakin ng mga 2am na ata yun. Tulog kasi ako sa sasakyan nun e tpos silent mode fone ko. Biglang nag-vibrate. Hmmmm.... Hehe... asa pa....

Kaya ngayon pa lang ako mag-uupdate ng Blog ko. At hulaan nyo, luluwas na naman kame bukas! 3 days straight na akong nagbabyahe! Alanganin na nga pagtulog ko e. So mga Monday pa ako makakapagpahinga.... WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Always pray.... Believe in God with all of your heart.... And smile, it's your gift to others whom you don't know yet you meet along your everyday life.... {Arik, nahahawa ako sa paggamit mo ng italics...}

Ateneo Grad + House Floods

2006-03-26T02:53:00.000+08:00

Do you know what time I slept yesterday? 4:00am! This would be why....

What do you do when you return to your house just to find out it was filled with water? Me, I just said, "Is this my first beach experience this summer?" Hahaha.... So from 2am-3.30am just after the graduation of my Ate Vannie, there I was, mopping the floor with my parents as my two sisiters (grrr...) 'slept'. As I was "literally" mopping the floor, I was making waves to the door of our terrace. I suddenly remembered the way the water in a swimming pool waved as a person paddles through it. So I was thinking what will happen on our outing.... (e papayagan nmn kaya ako?) Whatever....

Sayang talaga ang Ateneo. Gusto ko pa namang magpa-recruit sa Blue Eagles! HAHAHA! Maroons na lang ako. As usual, na-bore na naman ako sa isang graduation. Ang graduatees ng Management and Science Courses ang kasama ng Friday. Ang Humanities at Engineering Courses naman sa Saturday. Sayang di ko nakita si Yael Yuzon. Hehehe...

Masarap matulog sa isang air-conditioned na apartment! DA BEST!! I was literally 'dozing off'. Nacompensate naman nun yung fact na pa-ikot-ikot na kami buong araw. Nawala yung baston ng lolo ko. Nasiraan yung fx ng lolo ko. May nalimutan pang "curlor" este curler na dapat ilagay sa locker. May naiwan pang gamit sa apartment. May mga bagay na hindi mahanap. [sa buhay ko] {Arik, natempt din ako...} And to top it off was, binaha ng isang walang kwentang gripo ang buong bahay namin. Kaya yun yung nasa taas na parte ng post kong ito.

Still, God is good, all the time. I realized that in during the most boring and grueling day of my life. We still came home in one piece. If my dad hadn't forgotten his tie, we would have been stranded on the road. (I'd rather forget than that) Blessing in disguise. So don't stop praying. The power of prayer has been realized since the Ancient times....

The Day's Epilogue

I was thinking when to activate my Unlimitxt.... Wakekekeke.....

Grad Sessions + Crying Sessions

2006-03-23T22:51:00.000+08:00

Wow.... I'm going to write this during one of the busiest times of my life.

Kakakuha ko lang ng bagong sim ko ng globe kaninang hapon bago manood sina Carmina, Avis at Arik ng Shaggy Dog. I wonder how that went.

1st Graduation Practice

Yesterday marks the start of our Graduation practices. It was so nice to see my 'class and batch' mates again after quite some time. It's like our last taste of highschool life before we graduate. I had to wake up early in the morning just to go to school and i just slept for 4 freakin' hours! Talk about morning hangover. I rode with Matthew to La Salle and we came about 7.15am just as the P.A. was starting. Then we went to the hacienda to see the ispesyal awards. So there we met with some classmates then we talked about how everyone else is feeling and doing the past few days. Most of them were getting nervous and excited about the schools they're going to college.

The practice itself started about an hour after we arrived. The teachers asked for our full cooperation during the practices and it was announced that "due to circumstances beyond control", we were going to practice again the next day. So after fitting for the attire we will be wearing during graduation itself, our class went to JB44 and discussed the details of our outing. We were invited to have lunch at Jiaan's place but before that, Avis, Matthew and I helped Arik to choose and buy what he will wear for the next day. It turns out that he did not expect the unexpected practice tomorrow.

So we went to Jiaan's home, the Dominguez Residence. We ate lunch and just talked. My classmates requested me to sing a song for them or specifically before Jiaan goes to PMA. They wanted 'We Belong Together' but I don't know the melody of the song so I just settled for 'Gemini' by SpongeCola then Mrs. Julieta K. Sumcad sang 'Love Story' then it was me again with 'Pare Ko'. O what a day it was turning out to be but it's just half of the day!

So we went to back to school on a jeepney. We then registered for the Alumni of DLSL and Umpokan! and that was the last piece of grad practice we had for that day.

As we were going home, I invited Avis and Arik if they wanted to watch a movie at our house. So we went to our home, the Gonzales Residence and watched "Serendipity". After that Avis went home and Arik went to Jiaan's place again for the Kurikong Sleep-over.

Crying Sessions

After watching "Serendipity", I felt quite empty and lonely. I don't know why. I was just staring at the mirror in my room then I saw that I had tears in my eyes. Then it hit me, I asked the question I've always asked myself. "What is my purpose in life?" It's been 16 years since I started living in this world and I knew that I must find the answer to that question. Still, with my experiences, it is quite hard to find an answer to that. Maybe it was the word 'serendipity' (A fortunate accident) that made me remember that. I am still looking for signs, maybe this is one if those. This will be unfinished business for now.

Where is my purpose? You are so near yet so far. Well, I'm just gonna be happy as long as you are....

The Day's Epilogue

We went to Batangas to visit my Lolo and Lola there....

2nd Graduation Practice

Not much happened. Just went to the stage, bow and go down as usual, hahahaha!

The Day's Epilogue

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong siesta. 6 hours of long sleep. I woke up about 7.30pm. Tomorrow is my sister's graduation. Yey! But tomorrow's gonna be one heck of a day!

Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin o giliw ko?
Ilang ulit pa ba ank uulitin o giliw ko?
Tatlong oras na akong nagpapacute sa 'yo
'Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong t-shirt ko

Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin o giliw ko?
Ilang tansan pa ba ang iipunin o giliw ko?
Gagawin ko ang lahat pati ang thesis mo
Huwag mo lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko

Refrain:
Sagutin mo lang ako aking sinta'y
Walang humapy na ligaya

Chorus:
At aasahang iibigin ka
Sa tangahali sa gabi at umaga
Huwag ka sanang magtanong at magduda
Dahil ang puso ko'y walang pangamba
Lahat tayo'y mabubuhay ng tahamik at buong
Ligaya

Ilang ahit pa ba ang aahitin o giliw ko?
Ilang hirit pa ba ang hihiritin o giliw ko?
'Di naman ako manyakis tulad ng iba
Pinapangako ko sa 'yo na igagalang ka

*Ana, naaalala mo ba itong kantang ito? Wahahaha! Umuulit sa utak ko e.
