uaap fever

How I wish there's a tv here in the office.

Buti na lang may YM.. Speaking of... (notice their status haha)

another break-up

Just got off the phone with my best friend. They have just called it quits.

Nalungkot na naman ako.

bumming around

What do you do when you find your Saturday and Sunday amazingly free - i.e. no OT work to do and mandarin or nihonggo lessons to review? The thought of doing nothing is enough reason to entice me to just stay at home.

And that, I just did. For two consecutive weekends even, except... I've been bumming at other people's places. Last last Saturday, I (and kulit) were at Angela's and spent the whole afternoon just watching TV. From MTB we saw S2 and then Knowledge Power to Willingly Yours before finally deciding to leave her place. The next day, I woke up to go to church but slept as soon as I returned home. Woke after a few hours to eat lunch and take a bath. Watched few eps of Fruits Basket, read a book, and slept again. Woke up to have dinner and stayed awake for a couple of hours and slept again.

Last Saturday, it was at Debbie's place where I made myself at home. We were supposed to have our Mandarin class but out of nowhere made last minute changes to cancel it. We just saw some clips of Endless Love and those edited clips of My Sassy Girl. We just sat there and talked (I'm buddies with debbie's couch now). Yesterday was just like the other Sunday. Woke up for church and took a side trip to the Validation Center before going home. Yeah, I went to have myself validated for next year's election and so instead of wasting our time with this Kris and Joey thing, why don't we all be responsible citizens and do what we're supposed to do? Talk about Kris and Joey, I bet ABS-CBN and GMA-7 made big bucks once again with their two shows yesterday (oh the media hype!). Ok, I'm digressing again. I changed my style yesterday though. I ate first before takinga nap and bathing afterwards. And off I went to watch One Fine Spring Day and Lea's Songs From Home.

That is what I call a rest day... and I'm so loving it!

_____________

etc.

I just have all the reasons to be happy these past few days. Blame it on these new acquisitions I had over the week. I got The Good Earth and The Devil Wears Prada last Tuesday. And bought last Saturday, Love Undercover 2:Love Mission VCD.

But here comes the nice part... See, I was just telling my dad Saturday night that I wanna buy a new DVD player. He wasn't too happy to hear that saying he'd prefer if I buy something more important with my money. Imagine my (our, actually) surprise when he got home yesterday late afternoon with a new player and a new TV set as well (one of our tvs' acting up). Me and my sister were like: "pa???? i thought you said????" Then again, who are we to complain? Now, I still have my earnings intact. On the other hand, there are those really really nice bags at Wish that I saw last Friday... hmmm...

OA na

1. Frontpage sa newspapers at tabloids ay iisa: awayang Kris at Joey.

2. Ilipat mo sa channel 2, si Kris iniinterview, nagsasalita, inirereklamo si Joey. Sa channel 7, si Joey iniinterview, nagsasalita, ipinagtatanggol ang sarili. Lipat ka sa ibang local channel para naman sa totoong balita, madidismaya ka lang dahil yun at yun din ang handog nila: awayang Kris at Joey pa rin.

3. Ginawang topic of debate sa Debate (pero oo, aaminin ko, pinanood ko ito!).

4. Telenovela ang dating (talo pa nga ata). Minsang sumakay ako ng bus, nanibago ako dahil napakatahimik ng mga pasahero nito, ayun naman pala at nagcconcentrate ang lahat sa panonood ng interview ni Korina kay Kris. Pag baba ko, isang kumpulan ang nadaanan ko. Aba naman, may TV pala doon at hindi pa tapos ang interview. Kahapon, habang nag-aantay ng sasakyan sabi ng katabi ko sa kasama nya: "Tanghali na nga ko e. Napuyat ako sa kakapanood".

5. Kung sinu-sino na ang nakikisawsaw. Syempre, malapit na nga ang eleksyon.

6. Entry ko related sa gulong Kris at Joey.

Malala na 'to.

We (yes, the guy, me and two other project members) were discussing how we'd divide our work a while ago.

I wasthisclose to him. But...

I'm not sure I still like him. (No, it's not like he has b.o. or his breath stinks, it's nothing like that).

Basta lang... parang ayoko na sa kanya (pero he seems nice).

Ewan.

Was late again today. Three consecutive days na akong late.

I hope I don't make it straight this week. Oh please no.

sanctuaries

Starbucks Valero.

Powerbooks Glorietta.

btw, again

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY carrots!

Just came from a meeting and...

Me and the guy I'm eyeing...
we will be working in one project.

*grins*

Friday na!

Woot!!!

Not only do I have jpop in my playlist. I've got cantopop and kpop as well (downloaded a lot a while ago. :D )

Happy happy joy joy!!

It's raining! I hope it rains the whole night so I won't have to go to work tomorrow. Uh.. who am I kidding? I'm not in high school or college anymore. It's not like work can be cancelled because of heavy rains.

By the way, I saw my first ever white hair. On the other hand, the strand's 3/4 white. Technically, that doesn't make it a white hair right?

Hah! What the hell am I posting about? I'm bored... I did nothing but sleep this day. There was nothing, as in zilch, on TV. Oh, but I did watch The Buzz, especially that interview with Vaness and Ken. They're cute (Vaness looks better with short hair)... I know, i know, my reaction's pretty late.

I'm getting nowhere with this post. I'll just grab a novel instead. Or better yet, I'll finish Fruits Basket so I can borrow the next episodes.

2nd of 2 parts

Dear you two,

I was trying to recall if there was ever a time when I wrote you a letter. And I don't remember me doing that. Maybe I did, but mostly as fillers to Christmas or birthday cards I gave you, right?

So what's this, you ask? Let's just say I'm bored out of my wits and decided to just do this out of nowhere. Or that I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you two, in my own little way.

Sounds cheesy noh? But bet it didn't come as a surprise since you know me already - that I can be the most melo-dramatic among us and be the most dense person at the same time. You also know that I am not the most expressive person in this world. Like when I'm concerned or worried about you, I have this weird way of showing it. I don't panic and ask you if you're ok or what can i do. Instead, I lecture you and point out how it's your fault anyway. Or when you tell me something that you're both excited about, I don't exactly jump up and down ( not literally ) like you do. All I can mutter is: "good for you".

I do hope you know in the same manner that I am ever so thankful for having you guys around despite.. despite all. You've been really extra patient and understanding. Sometimes, I feel like I haven't been the wonderful and perfect friend that you deserve. Here you are letting me into your lives, while I, still has the tendency to keep things to myself. I know that in doing so, I have offended (and hurt) you time and again. Friends aren't supposed to do that right? I remember that one line in your email before, kulit, when you said that I've got to have one of the thickest walls you've ever encountered. :( That came from you, someone whom I shouldn't be putting up walls anymore. But then again, being true friends that you are, you've stuck with me and kept up with my issues as well ( here I thought I didn't have any :S ). But, I'm slowly doing something about it. Thanks.. thanks for helping me with that barricade and for teaching me how to just let my guards down.

Basta, thanks thanks so much for everything. From the simplest things like staying awake with me and keeping me company sa YM when I have to stay overnight in the office or cheering me up with your office anecdotes and stories of your love lives to like I said, putting up with someone like me.

Love you guys!

So again, why this 2 part thing? Let's just say I'm glad there's a September, wherein we could spend a day or two to celebrate your being born in this world. Advance Happy Birthday you two! *mwah*

im starving...

my back and arms are killing me...

There's still a lot to do tomorrow. I hope I survive.

But first i have to go home and rest.

... sigh ...

imago

Neither awake nor asleep
Dwell somewhere in between
Neither someone nor something
Be it life, alone -- I walk it
Half real, half fancy

A million tonight
A million to fight
A million to light
A million is right

Yonder wails
On my sleeves
In the arms
Of make-believe
Sleep will set you free
The arms of make-believe
In the arms of let-me-be

Abide by a dreamer's flight
A cheater, misfit on high
Alone in landscapes
Periwinkle skies
A worried pretender
Passes me by

1998 nung una kaming magkakila-kilala.

Siya. Isa sa iilang tao na nakagaanan ko ng loob nung freshmen orientation namin. Kung paano kami nagsimulang mag-usap at maging magkaibigan ay hindi ko na gaano maalala. Basta't isa na siya sa maituturing kong close friends sa college noon pa man. Nung madiskubre namin ang popup, we would spend long hours in the computer lab in school. In fact, mas matagal pa nga ata yung time spent namin don kesa sa loob ng classroom mismo. We started cutting class not because we'd be at the mall (that came later) or do something really important. It was because we usually lost track of time and realize 30 minutes later that we have a class to attend. We'd go home at 7 or 8 in the evening even if all our classes are scheduled in the morning. Ewan ko, pero parang naging medium yun para lalo kaming maging close sa isa't isa hanggang sa mawala na ang interes namin doon.

Siya. Isa sa mangilan-ngilang tao na kinaasaran ko noong freshmen orientation. Paano ba naman, napaka-loud. Pakiramdam ko tuloy, papansin. Nakita ko pa isang beses na iniwan nya yung pinagkainan niya sa lamesa, kaya't naisip ko pa: "Aba, primadona". Kung bibilangin mo siguro yung panahon na nag-uusap kami sa room ay mabibilang mo nga talaga sa daliri. Pero dahil na rin sa blockmates kami, hindi maiiwasang makita ko rin ang sarili ko na kausap na ng madalas ang taong kinaasaran ko. Hindi ko na maalala kung ano ang nagbigay daan para tuluyang maalis ang pagkairita ko. Sa ngayon kasi, walang mag-aakala na inis ako sa kanya dati.

Limang taon na ang nakakaraan. Mula sa pagiging mere acquaintances, to blockmates, to friends... masasabi kong sila na yung dalawa sa mga taong ipinagpapasalamat ko na nakilala ko nung college.

I wanna shave my head bald!!!!!!

It's been a couple of days since I learned from her about this plagiarist.

Apparently, the girl had the nerve to copy not only her posts/essays but copied from other blogs as well.

It's sickening how some people have the guts to post something that wasn't theirs in the first place. Maybe that's why she had no tagboard or a comment box. She knew she'd get a lot of hate messages. It's pathetic that up to now, her blog's still up. Seems like she really has no shame.

I might not know the victims personally, but I feel for them. I mean, who would want to see their posts being plagiarized?
