Dang it, i knew i felt something vibrate on my foot that night!

Last Sunday I thought i lost my cellphone. The last 4 cellphones that I had were all stolen or were simply left somewhere broken simply because of my clumsiness.The cellphone that i have now could've been the 5th. Luckily, Thix saw it in her car; under the driver's seat (dang it, i knew i felt something vibrate on my foot that night). Why was it under the seat? That my friend, is a Lets-all-leave-that-to-God kind of question. I was a bit - well, a li'l more than bit - mentally uncoordinated that unfortunate night. preoccupied.

Its these kind of incidents why my parents - even I - can't trust myself to own a high-end gadget. I was aiming for a new cell phone this Christmas, something more sophisticated than a Nokia 3220. But what happened 4 days ago might thwart that idea. It basically means that it might happen again, It could be a lot more disappointing if that happened to an expensive phone right? My Nokia 3220 isn't much of an appealing phone but I kept it and carefully held on to it for the past year and a half just so i could prove that I was ......errr.....mature enough to handle something far better than a pipichugin. Frankly, i was pretty happy that that phone stayed with me for a year. The last 4 phones I had didn't even last in my possession each for 6 months.

I lost one in my house only God knows how that happened, i think i left the other one outside my friend's dorm, and that qwerty phone was left in the jeep i took years ago. Idiotic? yep, pretty much.

I'm happy that i didn't really lose my phone, Somehow its a relief that it was only under a car seat and that it wasn't really stolen.
But still shame on me for clumsily leaving it there.

bad monkey.

So un. false alarm pala to those people i kept bragging about losing my phone. I found it na :P

Monday blues.

and so it it happened...

that is why i hate 7 am classes. I tried sleeping at 1 am last night, unfortunate for me though I was too caught up with my personal dilemmas. Ruminating on certain matters for over 2 hours, i finally dozed off around 4 in the morning.

finally...

Then the alarm went off at 5. (What a nap).That moment where in you have to rise up from your bed was the worst part. I get to excogitate a way to get through a Monday and deal with whats in store for me. Somehow the thought of Ms. Causaren yelling startled me & involuntarily helped me prepare for a hellish day.

Surprisingly, Monday wasn't so bad, I had fun with my educ classmates. I wasn't aware of the fact that i was able to attend all of my subjects today & mind you, attending 3 laboratories for one day is not simple as it may seem, especially when you barely slept the night before.
So yeah, it was my first time to completely attend my Monday classes. I was really anxious about it for over a week already that i might not be able to handle the schedule.Thank God for everything. I'm a li'l optimistic about this semester na.

All i have to think about now is how to ask Kuya to raise naman my baon on a Monday :P

In Saudi, we could rape a lady. Its her fault anyway!

A recent headline of Telegraph UK, to make a long story short, a Saudi woman was sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months prison for being a gang rape victim, the initial sentence was 90 lashes but was subsequently increased to 200 because the woman was found guilty of influencing the media - sympathy.

What a bunch of idiots, how could they do this? Isn’t it wrong morally and ethically to punish the victim?

According to the Arab News newspaper, the woman was gang-raped 14 times. Her
offence was in meeting a former boyfriend, whom she had asked to return pictures
he had of her because she was about to marry another man. The couple was sitting
in a car when a group of seven Sunni men kidnapped them and raped them both,
lawyers in the case told Arab News. The former boyfriend was also sentenced to
90 lashes for being with her in private. Even the victim's lawyer was
ordered to face disciplinary actions due to the fact that he spoke to the media
about the original sentence.

This is ridiculous, just imagine how absurd these people view the situation. The court blamed the lady for being alone with an unrelated man, but they should've seen it in a more humane view and considered the thought that it still wasn't her fault for being gang raped 14 times!

The Islamic Sharia law is not in tune with modern society, these religious laws does not comply with today’s major ethic modern society; we’re heading towards a global village, a multi cultural world. Coming from an Islamic country - Malaysia with a religious composition of 60% Muslims and 40% others, and an ethic composition of 50% Malays, 25% Chinese, 8% Indians and the rest, does not use the religious rules of the Sharia. Unlike Saudi Arabia, they consider the possibility that a muslim could be involved in a legal case say a divorce, marriage, or khalwat, with a non-muslim. If only the Saudi's perceive it the way the Malaysian government did, then these cases could've been avoided.

The Saudi Government has been criticized numerous times already by several countries for apparent reasons.

Religion is a personal thing. It should not be correlated with politics.

badminton, egg tarts and 3D boobies.

yo! what up!



man this past 2 days i wasn't able to lie down on my own bed. i was literally hugging the side of it last night, i kind of missed it. We all have our own bizarre moments, we just don't mention it often.

Anyway last Friday night was badminton night (whats new). . . . Not. We did something else and i don't feel like sharing that with you. Believe me, you don't wanna know! haha, samin lang un nina dong and sot.

I decided to sleep over at Miko's place 'coz i wanted to watch their tournament the following day. The Mesuca tourney was held in Makati at the Powersmash court. We were in a rush just 'coz Miko woke up pretty late. So ayun, di na nag warm up, laro kagad. Not surprisingly, they lost their first game. Belat.

Later that night we went to the bazaar at Times, BF resort.

Anyone who lives near that place, please visit my friend's changge, they're
selling crab nuggets, fishball, and bbq :)

We went home pretty late na, kaya i sleptover once again at miko's house. I badly wanted to attend church the next morning. Sadly though, my alarm didn't went off, i woke up at 10 am. I went home expecting Kuya Lee soaping me. (sasabunin ba. sa sermon). Mom called after a few minutes. She was talking to Lee...

Lee: "pinapasabi ni mama matulog ka na lang sa kalye."

I laughed.


Last night we decided to hang out at MOA. We boought Christmas tree decorations na rin although kunti pa lang, we wanted to try out green,red, and blue-white balls (will be posting a picture of it to ask for your opinion) and if it would look good together on the tree.


Mahal pala, 3 flowers and 12 balls cost us 600 pesos kagad. *sob*.

Prior to watching a movie, we ate dessert muna. We were craving for something fairly sweet and munchy on the outside with a creamy filling.

Lee and Ban: "Egg tarts!"

We wanna thank Andrea for introducing egg tarts to us, if it weren't for
you we wouldn't have tasted heaven during our early 20's!


A box of 4 was enough for the 2 of us, they were served fresh from the oven kaya we were having a hard time eating it, we even had burned tongues for eating it too fast. We have to kasi, 5 minutes na lang that time before the movie starts.



Beowolf. It was awesome, the whole movie was rendered in 3D. I saw the trailer in youtube and i thought the character were real. Last night sa movie house ko lang narealize pati sina Angelina 3D din! It was unbelievable how they created amazing details on Beowolf's skin; every strand of hair looks real. The whole movie felt real, even the monsters. Why, even Angelina's boobs felt real! they were bouncing at one scene! Apparently though, her body was rendered a li'l bit far off. She never had a voluptuous body like that, she even looks skinny today. So yeah, you'll like the movie if your a fan of 3d animation and fantasy.

Enjoy the best of electronica!

I'm honestly enjoying these underground electronic genre. Im enjoying britney if you wanna put it that way. Nevertheless, they're still considered pop. But you could feel the influence of the underground beat. Its hot :) Im usually playing this playlist, some of the hot songs in her album Blackout.

Our first Christmas dilemma.

We decided to put up the Christmas tree last night. My aunt & I assembled the 2 poles then started putting the leaves on it. Although the leaves were different in sizes, you wouldn't really get confused where to put it 'coz its color coded so there wasn't much thinking to do.

Or is there...

At one point though, we realized the tree didn't look like a Christmas tree at all. I made a smirk when i saw the tree looking kind of bizarre. We didn't realize we we're putting the wrong leaves at the wrong places. The tree looked like it had some sort of genetic defect. Aunt and I were pretty sure we followed everything the instructions said. I really got pissed off from thinking about it so i called Lee. Yeah, the instructions were wrong.

*pfft*.
Mali yung instructions? heh? oxymoron?? haha!

We kind of gotten the poles mixed up 'coz the freakin' instructions were giving out wrong positions. So we had to take out the leaves, disassembled the poles & assemble it again in the right places.

So ayan, ang laki pala. lolz. Its 8 ft tall, parang di kasya sa bahay. Mom kept calling for the past weeks and she really wanted us to buy a tree, 8 ft tall tlga. She didn't know how wide it is. Kaya ngayon pinapapalit nya, 6 ft na lang daw! tsk. Hassle!

So ganyan palang siya. at baka ganyan na lang yan, tinatamad kaming bumili ng accessories, lolz. Marami namang mansanas sa bahay un na lang isasabit ko. tapos kalamansi. tapos lagyan ko na lang ng bumbilya sa pinakataas. xD

On a serious note though, ano bang magandang motif para sa Christmas tree?

My reg form is making me sick. bleh.

*egad*


Classes started last Wednesday & I'm still working on my class schedules.

Everything just got worst this afternoon when I finally talked to Sir Pareja about some subjects I had to clarify. Everything went well with that part; He promised me that he would credit all the subjects that I'm taking up with the Education class because if he didn't, that would mean no diploma for me this coming March & hello La Salle - yet again - next semester. So there you go, permission granted. yey.



On the other hand though,,,, He still wanted us - including Mr. Aldrich Poblete my beloved thesis partner, to enroll Biol191 which is our thesis writing....*SOB* the thing is, we have to take 4 units of it which is not offered this semester. Fortunately (I'm not sure why i consider it fortunate), someone is taking it up for tutorial. So we could go take it up with him or her. Then again,,, I will be having the worst days this semester & I'm not sure where to fit it in my schedule.

You see, I'm taking up 7 subjects only. But most of them are 3 hours long which could take up most of the time in one day, most of my subjects actually have laboratories so don't wonder. Sadly, I won't be having a break 'coz one class starts right after the other.

Monday: 7-1730

Tuesday/Thursday: 1130-1730

Wednesday 1300-1730

Friday:7-10 & 16-1900. bummer.

This is unbelievable, on Friday my first class starts at 7 and ends at 10, then my 2nd class resumes at 4pm until 7 pm. *toooooot* !!!!

All I could do right now is look at the brighter side of life. .... . ...

I'm graduating next March and there is only 4 months to go. 4
freakin' months 'till I finish college!

I'm going to graduate this course no matter how long it takes!

Law of attraction Leeo, be optimistic about it & you'll get there.

A fashionable blog malfunction

I thought of getting rid of Mike the blogger monkey. It was being too stubborn lately. Heck, he couldn't even stand for second to see me blogging. All those rants must've harm the poor It psychologically.

Anyway, I saw this cool template when i was browsing around the web & now I'm actually using it....or so it seems not. My site is experiencing some sort of error, it can't read the xml type of template i just posted last night. Up until now it doesn't show my page. I wonder why.

Did you ever had a beyonce experience where you just couldn't help but sing & shout?

*ringa ringa ringa ringa ring di alarm, ringa ringa ringa ringa ring di
alarm*

That reggae song, murder she wrote that beyonce sang last night at her
concert is still ringing in my mind. oh, speaking of which. I went to her concert with my Jeddah friends :) Carlo, Anne, Lau, Neng & I met at moa first and ate supper before heading to Taguig. We arrived around 7pm & we thought we were already late. Nagtext na kasi si beyonce kay carlo:

....wer na u? andito na akechi - beyonce

Hahahaha! So ayun, everyone was experiencing a li'l bit of traffic at the parking area, i guess drivers were a lil jigiddy that time anxious that they might miss the opening number. Fortunately though the concert didn't start 'till 830 pm. Yun nga lang, our feet already hurt even before beyonce started the show with crazy inlove. So un, we were walking our way looking for the general admission area. We passed by vip na,,ssvip,,,patron a,,,patron b,,,,after 48 years nakarating na kami ng general ad! kabilang dulo pala ng Taguig! haha! Then it happened,,,, that morning i was a li'l worried they might not allow video cameras inside the open area. I asked carlo naman & he was pretty sure only SLR cameras or those professional models were not allowed inside. Sadly, even simple video cams were prohibited. So Lau was kind enought to accompany me all the way back to the parking area which was like 5 minutes away just by walking so it was pretty exhausting going back and forth just to drop off a video cam. So yun, we all settled down around 730pm in a place where we could atleast get a glimpse of the stage and the ant version of beyonce....It was already 8 pm and the big screens were still flashing advertisements and no sign of Miss B. I don't know what was going on backstage but the concert was one hour and a half late. It started at 830pm when she appeared from the right side wearing her silver gown. Then we were absolutely sure the concert was about to start when she shouted,

Are you ready to be entertained?

Everyone just shouted apparently excited to see her perform live. It was unbelievable, it was my first time to actually attend a concert of an international artist so it was pretty overwhelming.

The stage was awesome, the whole wall was filled with LED lights so it appeared to be like a big IMAX screen behind her.

Everyone was singing songs which was a huge hit here in Manila like Listen and Irreplaceable but other than that, only beyonce fans were able to sing other songs from her 2 solo albums like me myself and I, Upgrade U, Dangerously inlove, freakum dress. She also sang some of the hits she shared with Destinys Child, like the decade old No no no no & other hits from the album Writings on the wall. The beyonce experience ended with her huge hit from her latest album, Irreplaceable. Everyone was singing in unison, i guess yung iba un lang tlga pinunta. hehe. Actually Beyonce wanted the audience to sing it first thats why she pointed the mic towards us during the famous to the left to the left part. It was fun singing it with other people you don't know.

Anyway, I could say that it is by far the best concert i've been to. And by far, it is the ONLY concert i've ever been to. haha! I loved the concert, the whole beyonce experience was amazing, she did made sure that every ticket we bought was worth it. Everyone had a blast, it actually felt bitin, we didn't expect that 2 hours was a lil short .

Tama si anne, kung alam lang namin gnun kaganda yung show, we would've taken vip tickets. Frankly nanghinayang kaming lahat. The beyonce experience will be out in DVDs anyway.

Meet mike.

Iiight, from this day forward, I'ma spice up my blog a li'l bit, I'ma go adopt my own blog buddy. Since I have no one to talk to and no one seems curious enough to read my blog, I might as well pretend I'm blogging with someone...errr.. something for that matter.

From now on, I'm going to be blogging with Mike, my blog monkey! Off limits to readers, he's a lil stubborn, apparently. Mind you, he doesn't like being glared at. Surprisingly, we have alot in common (no, not physically dammit!). We're stubborn, we hang around alot (xD), and we play badminton! And if there's one thing we love giving glares to, its those boot-ehs frem ye sexy mamahs.

I'm sure Mike wouldn't mind listening to all my rants and constant nagging. Right Mike??? ...................ooooOOooK!

So anyway....blah. I'ma update this in a while. Lemme get back to my game. Heihachi's calling me!

Headlines | Friendship never ends. haha!

Phew! I’ve been keeping myself busy for the past days, It feels good to know I’ve been productive lately!

Lets see,

on Friday I woke up really early ‘coz I wanted to enroll as early as possible to finish everything before 5pm. Unfortunately, something unexpected just happened at school ~ the administration went offline. Meaning, everything comes to a halt. Enrollment resumes on Tuesday. Its a piss off thinking about the irony La Salle just experienced. Going offline.....on the enrollment day....
*pissssss* ... To think I only had 2 hours of sleep and the thought of dragging my lazy ass all the way in Dasmarinas for nothing. La Salle can be really frustrating. Its a spontaneous thing, but its also something you have to get used to. It sucks really. I had to release all those stress I got from school, that night i played badminton! what a great way to release tension.

Saturday morning was a very special day. It was a childhood friend’s wedding. Catherine’s all married now with Ernani. I remembered when we were still kids, like 5 years old, we used to sneak around on each other in N.C.S. She used to be a naughty girl & she knows that, lolz. I still have a clear picture of her in my mind, she used to wear this pink dress and she smiles all the time. And having no 2 front teeth was never an issue way back then, luckily. Like all girls, she used to have what i personally call, the “helmet head” haircut. Hair bangs equally cut just right at the middle of the forehead and the hair cut just right above the jawline. Apparently she would grow up to be a really perky girl.

All these things just flashed back all of a sudden when i was looking at her walking at the aisle. It may sounds girly, but it was a very emotional scene. I was like, “16 years of knowing her just passed and here she is already tying the knot.” I’m torn between being happy and sad. This basically means setting bounderies between our friendship & i guess im not mature enough to be having those kind of issues. I’m still about fun and partying! Thats the funny thing about friendship. I randomly met this girl at one point of my life and now she means alot to me. You get to love other people at a certain degree.

And no matter how long we never keep in touch, we will always feel the same way everytime we see each other. We usually act like fu*k buddies. I guess we already established something really solid during the long run. Thats friendship right there. the authentic one.

You. Are not. My friend.

YES, WE'RE ON FACEBOOK. BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CAT. AND STOP POKING ME.
IN THE PRE-INTERNET DAYS, NEITHER OF us would have even thought of calling each other friends. We'd have called ourselves friends of friends who met once and yet, for some reason, kept sending each other grammatically challenged, inappropriately flirty letters with photos of ourselves attached. Police might have gotten involved.
But now we're definitively friends, having taken a public vow of friendship on friend-based websites, wearing metaphorical friendship bracelets on the earnest Facebook, the punky MySpace, the careerist Linkedin and the suddenly very Asian Friendster. As if that weren't enough friendship for you, some of you have also asked me to be friends on the nerdy Twitter, the dorky-elitist Doostang and the Eurotrashy hi5. you message me and comment about me and write on my walls and dedicate songs to me and invite me to join groups. more than once you have taken it upon yourself to poke me.
This is hard to say to a friend, but our relationship is starting to take up too much of my time.
It's weird that I know more about you than I do about actual friends I hang out with in person - whom I propose we distinguish by calling "non-metafriends." In fact, I know more about you than I know about myself. I have no idea what my favorite movie or song or TV show is. Last I checked, they all involved Muppets. Also, you'rea bit aggressive in our friendship. Would a non-metafriend call me up and say, "Hey! Guess what? I have a bunch of new pictures of me"? Or tell me he'd colored in a map of all the places he'd hever been? Or inform me, as Michael Hirschorn did in his Facebook status update, that he "is not making decisions; he's making surprises?" It's as if I suddenly met a new group of people who were all in the special classes.
The horror is, I can't opt out. Just as I can't stop making money or my non-metafriends will have more stuff than I do, I can't stop running up my tally of friendster friends or I'll look like a loser. Just as money made wealth quantifiable, social networks have provided a metric for popularity. We all, oddly, slot in at a specific ranking somewhere below Dane Cook. I'm sure social networks serve many important functions that improve our lives, like reconnecting us with old friends and finding out if people we used to date are still good-looking. And social networks all have messaging functions, which would be an excellent way to send information if no one had invented e-mail.
But really, these sites aren't about connecting and reconnecting. They're a platform for self branding. Old people are always worrying that our blogging and personal websites & MySpace profiles are taking away our privacy, but they clearly don't understand the word privacy. We're not sharing things we don't want other people to know. We're showing you our best posed, retouched photos. We're listing the Pynchon books we want you to think we've read all the way through. We're allowing other people to write whatever they want about us on our walls, unless we don't like it, in which case we just erase it. If we had that much privacy in real life, that bathrooms at that Minnesota airport would be empty. And like the abrasively direct ads for tinctures and cleaning products at the beginning of the advertising age, our self-branding is none too subtle. we are a blunt lot, in our bikinis and our demands that our friends go right now to check out our blog postings. We've gone 40 years back, to sales tactics predating irony. self-deprecation & actual modesty. We are, as a social network, all so awesome that we will soon not be able to type the number I, because we will have worn out the exclamation point that shares its key.
Until we can build some kind of social network where we can present our true, flawed selves - perhaps some genius can invent something that takes place in a house over dinner with wine - I say we strip down our online communities to just the important parts. With enough venture funding - by which I mean the volunteer services of a dude who knows how to build a website - I hope to launch TrueSocialStatus.com, on which users are allowed to submit only their name, their occupation, a photo, the square footage of their home and a list of any celebrities they happen to know. Then other people can vote, on a scale of 1 to 100, on how awesome they are. At the end of the year, the ones with the most points are made homecoming king and queen, which, if I remember correctly, should immediately send their scores plummeting. If nothing else, it should finally rid us of Tile Tequila. 

Kudos to you daddy!

Hey its Dads birthday today. He's now 51 years old & he is lookin' miiiighty fiine for an old timer, hahaha (just playing dad). Its never obvious how dad gets older by the year, he seems so young for his age. I guess its because of his healthy lifestyle.
Inspite of the fact that dad is in Jeddah right now, Lee & I are still gonna celebrate his special day somewhere in Manila. Most probably we'll be eating in Sze Chuan restaurant, dad's favorite chinese resto along roxas blvd.
I got the idea of celebrating a family's birthday even without their presence from Aldrich. It may sound weird, but if you try to think about it, its actually sweet, dont you think? You don't have to feel sad 'coz you're all miles apart, you could celebrate it with them at your own place. Its that spirit of unity that binds all of you together in that special day and moment.... ok that sounded a bit too much, haha.
Anyway, luckily i woke up at the right side of the bed & im feeling kind of great right now. The words im gonna use to describe that feeling are, healthy and clean. I guess taking showers in the middle of the night could make you feel energetic every morning haha.
Auntie and her family all went back to Pampanga so Im the one left alone in the house to do all the household chores but no worries, Im all set for a tiring day. I promised myself I wont go out this time. Im'a go stay here at home and enjoy myself for once. Dont get me wrong, i aint going to molest myself. I'm over that. *snorts*
on a sidenote....
The Beyonce experience is coming reeeally soon, and i havnt bought myself a ticket. gasp.

breaking promises has always been a BIG NO NO.

Its pretty tough finding time for everyone. Especially if you're running out of it or even if you got conflicting schedules. Its disappointing not being able to alot a few hours for a friend, particularly someone who means something to you. Not to mention, thinking of the fact that they were expecting your presence on a very special day... Its quite a burden to feel the guilt everday thinking of a way how to apologize to someone. And if you did, would they even accept it? Then comes the humiliation you caused yourself....You feel guilty 'coz you broke your promise; that and the pain of thinking how they feel. There's so much psychological and emotional consequences you have to face that you just don't know how to resolve it one by one.
I dont know, this time I'm too convicted to even think of an alibi why I let them down. I give up, I'd rather tell the truth and let them convey their anger to me. Things just have to happen & i just have to accept that and learn something out of the mess I made. It's been going on eversince.

True Friendship | None of those sissy crap!

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.

You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this -

Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against
the fu*king bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you got laid.

4. When you are scared -- I will take the piss out of you about it, every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whinging.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;
"because you are my friend".

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.

Send this to 10 of your closest friends,

Then get depressed because you can only think
of 4

Finally smashing cocks again!

Aw gad, its been ages since i played badminton. I played badminton for the first time in 6 months last night and my freakin' body is in serious pain! I could literally use 10 pills of pain reliever *sob*

Come to think of it, inspite of the long rest from queing, I could actually say that I have'nt lost my style of playing. Infact, i think i even got better! I was able to do numerous smashes & alot of cross court drops. Not bad for a guy who hasn't played for quite a long time. Dont get me wrong, I ain't bragging! I still have loads of things to learn in the court but at my level, I pretty much improved significantly. Surprisingly, I got better after 6 months of no badminton, how about that? i might even get to play level A players in no time, haha, i wish *snort* I've been eyeing on Kel's style of playing, he uses alot of cross court drops and a basic yet very effective pattern; First, he drops the ball and when the opponent returns it with a lab shot, he would smash it. Also, he has mastered cross court shots, something pretty hard to get the hang of. But I'm getting there, I'm that close to being able to play with the big guys of Playground.
I'm hoping by the time i graduate, i'd be able to go up one level.

Anyways, anyone who plays badminton, holler back!

Celebrity nights.

Weekdays just officially ended an hour ago & Thursday and Friday weren't that bad, thank God. Thursday was the last day for my exams so my semestral break started right there. That night i thought of going out with carlo and the rest of that gang. Surprisingly, almost everyone went with us & I was the one who thought of hanging out at greenbelt ~ For the first time, haha, kudos to that! Unfortunately and as expected, Miko wasn't able to come, we'll just leave it like that. That night we went to visit Neng at Coffee beans, she works there everynight & it was really cool seeing her doin' her thing, mixing ingredients and making several types of coffees.

We're proud of you Neng, you're one heck of a lady!

Nothing serious happened that night, the usual laughing trips we have everytime we see each other. Its something inevitable, we're all losers clowns in our own ways. We saw a couple of celebrities while roaming around Greenbelt though, one is Chiz Escudero. He smokes alot & with that big belly of his, we could actually reckon that he either eats carbs alot or he simply drinks too much. On our way to Mcdo, we saw Miriam Quiambao eating at Itallianis with an old caucasian. She looks kind of ...err..dry. I mean her skin, her face. Wasn't she the olay spokeswoman? Doesn't seem to work on her :P We saw Andrew Wolfe..a big blah for him.

Among the celebrities we saw that night, it was quite overwhelming to see Kristine Hermosa. She was such a shocker for being Goddess-like. When she passed by, we were like lookin' at each other, jaws dropped, goosbumps all over. Everyone was like, "Nyeta, did you see that? Ang ganda!" Her face was pale white, with dark red lips, she was wearing casual clothes with white sweater and skinny jeans with ballets shows if im not mistaken. She was walking pretty fast with Oyo Boy Sotto. He looks like a retard, nothing special about him except being a friend of Kristine Hermosa. Dammit that face gives me the chills everytime. Her face was "dreamy" if you would put it that way...

So much for Thursday celerbrity night. Friday was much more ordinary. It was ramadhan (eid mubarak to our muslim fiends. err, friends), Lee and I decided to end the night with a last full show at the cinemas. No other movie worth watching 'cept Stardust. I was expecting it to be that typical fantasy movie with witches and magic and all those mystical factors. But it was that, plus a different level of comedy and love story. The ending was just heart warming. Michelle Pfeifer was incredible, she did a pretty good job with her role being the bitchy witch she should be. Claire Danes was blah. dull acting. Speaking of which, didn't the government banned movies with Claire Danes in it? How did this one get in? Anyway, its easy to ignore Claire Danes in the movie anyway. Forget about her. This movie won't help her reach the stardom. which she never had at the first place. The movie's about 2 hours and 8 minutes.

Anyhoo, Its sorta good ending for me this week. Lets focus now on Christmas i guess. :P

Weak this week.

So far this week hasn't turned out right for me. It started out with 2 exams, both having the worst time. Histology was at 8 am and Immunology at 4 pm. I had to wake up early and head back home and go back to school at 3pm just for a lousy exam. And Monday was by far the worst day this week . . .

I woke up at 5:55am. I wanted to reach school earlier so i could get my exam permit. Surprisingly, traffic jam was so heavy, I got their 5 minutes after 8, yes i was already late. Fortunately though, the proctor was kind enough to let me take the exam even without the permit. After dealing with Histology i went home. So i decided to take the bus. Jasper bus was off the hook, they have this new bus line where they have 2 tvs one at the front and one at the middle so the passengers at the end gets to watch too. But i was too sleepy to watch any tv program so i dozed up in a couple of minutes...When i woke up, we were already in bacoor, right infront of Jayson's village. The bad thing is it was already 11 am. The bus took off at 9 meaning I was already 2 hours sleeping in the bus and still we weren't any closer to my village! Traffic was that bad that day. I was so pissed off, i got off the bus went back to palico and took a tricycle there to take me to Meadowood in a different route. It cost me another 50 pesos for that. A bus tilted and blocked the entire road going to Manila. And that caused the whole hiway to be jammed with cars.

Yesterday, i started getting sick. I have this stupid cold which got worse last night. Luckily, Lee didn't forget to buy me medicine, I'm ok now its just that my eyes are a bit strained. I've never slept so much. Everytime i lie down on the bed, I sleep & its giving me the headaches!
Tomorrow's the last day for an exam. Im not really that excited with semestral breaks. I hate the fact that it would only last for 2 weeks and it includes the day for enrollment. Hopefully I would be able to make the most of this vacation, I badly need to detoxify from all the predicaments I'm facing. Not to mention the things with the emotions involved. *chuckles*.

Anyway, I'm waiting for someone to send me a message. I'm still hoping Thursday or Friday would turn out right for a change this week. Pray for me.

Portability or Next generation??

I can't make up my mind. What do i buy first, Its either i get a psp or a ps3 by the end of this year, then i'll buy the other gadget sometime next year. But i'm not sure which one to prioratize! Here's what i've been thinking...

A PSP slim is portable first and foremost. It plays songs, movies, and ofcourse you get to play video games. You get to do all these things on the go. Its even wifi capable.
while on the other hand,

A PS3 is - well duh, its a next generation console. The downside? Blue rays are still quite costly. And i don't think they'd be selling pirated versions anytime soon.
So yeah. I'm torn. What do i buy first?? Try to rationalize for me!

It all boils down to Longanizas and crab sticks.

*ugh*.
Its those nights where I would just starve all of a sudden. I would usually have this kind of night everyday. I'm growing a belly out of it. Infact, I think its getting larger by an inch every week T_T
I'd be scavenging for food downstairs & delve deep in to the big cold box. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could satisfy my cravings. I had no choice but to resort to 3 skinless longanizas (pampanga's best) and 4 crab sticks & a jug of iced tea. Hmpf, not really what I had in mind but it had to suffice.

I hate this day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. I attended Hara's class which was boring as ever. Histology wasn't fun either. Thanks to Jeff and company, we had a li'l laugh during discussion.

Then I went straight to my piano lessons. [ Jay p, i aint that old to be taking piano lessons, so shyat ur pie hole! ] Coach Glen wasn't there so coach mel had to substitute. Frankly though, Mel was alot better of a teacher than Coach Glen. It took us an hour to finish a page but I learned alot from him. C. Glen was good too but he teaches at a faster pace, I can't catch up.
News was a nuisance. The usual vexing political dilemmas was on TV patrol and Bente Kwatro hours.

Good news is, may bagyo nanaman :) Thanks Goring for visiting the Philippines. Please, take your time in causing havoc at Dasmarinas Cavite.

THE elusive perfection.

I will be perfectly honest stupid with this entry.

For the past months I've been completely preoccupied with alot of thoughts. I like daydreaming alot, I like thinking about my own predicaments & I bring about questions which you may find really absurd. I tend to dwell in my own world most often than not, and this has been keeping me busy & exhausted than academics.

Some time in my 2nd year in college, I made a speech for my english class. I decided to act as an atheist & talk about God's existence & perfection which is a common attribute of God. There were 2 questions I thought of & up until now, I can't seem to answer it myself. I asked alot of people. Unfortunately, none has given me a satisfying answer & can't seem to justify it themselves.

God is perfect. Even before time, He was already perfect. If that statement is true, what then disturbed this elusive perfection and compelled God to create the earth,heavens, human beings and everything else? Didn't we say He was/is/will be perfect? If something is perfect than it needs nothing else...

Perfection begets perfection. It should right? If God is perfect then why aren't we, we were created by a perfect being. Therefore everything else coming from Him should be perfect.
Im no atheist. I could be agnostic, but I believe in God. But these questions keep tormenting my mind a li'l. I even find these questions disturbing. It's wrong to doubt God or anything else which concerns Him. But we were born to be rational.

Then again, we should'nt dwell too much with logic, I believe its the bad side's way to meddle with our faith. or is it? free from ennui!

In all honesty, do you judge others by their outer appearances at first glance?

Yes, and you're a liar if you say you don't.

(So that makes you a liar AND superficial. Welcome to humanity, old chum!)
That question though, is irrelevant, because it's pretty much an instinctual response. It's what you do AFTER that initial impression that's important, and you give yourself ample time to overcome that first impression.

[And go F yourself if you think first impressions, last. ano kami, deodorant?]

If you have the time/opportunity/context to get to know that person (ie: New coworker, classmate), are you smart enough to overcome that first, animalistic judgement? And is it only pleasing visuals that compel a person to delve deeper?

I don't know.

If you don't have time to spend getting to know someone (ie: stranger on the street passing you by), do you have at least enough sense to add a grain of salt to your impression, whatever it may be, because you KNOW that visuals, as striking as they are, aren't everything?

The real question is whether or not we can, as animals, overcome instinct. Ideally, I'd say yes... but our track record pretty much sucks. I think it's a question of time, when it comes to the human animal... on the short term, we can only rely on our senses to appraise others, ie: sight, sound, smell mostly... and those senses totally generalize reality.
On the long term though, I think we're very much capable of ascending our unreliable senses and of using other, more accurate tools to evaluate our fellows. Even still though... some of us still fall back on the senses, for lack of time or care. It's unfortunate.


I just relieved my ennui.
