smitten over nothing

Natapos na ang first sem..

Haaay kay bilis nga naman ng panahon

Kay raming nangyari

At kay rami ring nagbago

A few bitch itch here and there but here I am still alive and kicking

I was devastated when I saw my grade in Philgoco, I passed but unfortunately I was innately unsatisfied with my grade, thus I cursed a lot that day like a demented drama queen that I am.

Some crazy lunatic stole the telephone cable of our subdivision, in effect I didn’t get to surf the net for days!...i was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms..honestly! Internet is essential for human survival! I cannot live and function properly without it damn it!

I’m quite thrilled that our product will be featured in our school’s marketing week which will be held in February….and here I thought all those grueling days of printing greeting cards and long board meetings are over…

FYI on our product

Brand name: Sulat Kamay
Product: Greeting cards and Bookmarks
Theme: just about anything and everything Filipino. Themes revolve around Filipino pop art, politics, music, values, and many more.

I’m quite proud to have really really great group mates! Love you lots kaye and kristel! We survived marketing defense we can surely survive marketing week!

What’s the point of keeping a relationship with somebody when you don’t even click?

What’s the point of keeping that relationship when you don’t even know how to carry on a simple conversation with that person? Don’t know how to reply? And you definitely have no clue on what to say next.

What’s the point of keeping that relationship knowing the fact that you are just SO different? (Opposites attract is definitely a fallacy…for me that is)

Nakita ko kanina sa James Yap
kung anu rin naman ang itsura nya sa tv yun din ang itsura niya sa tutoong buhay
mukang lupa
haha..I am so mean
I do not worship the very ground Kris Aquino walks on pero..the hell!..why James Yap!

"kaya siguro pumayat si kris, kasi sinsaktan sha ng asawa nya" sabi ng isang mabahong estranghero na nakatabi sa bus ng aking butihing busmate na si Chacha

i dunno

he looks so bisexual! (oh my) haha

okay enough na, lets spare poor Jamsie from all the horror! kawawa naman yung bata

haay nako..shut up na nga! haha

when I seem to recall myself screaming my heart out for james yap like one of his fangirls...cheering him on as he did some stunts only avid basketball fans know....

....... ^&$&^%&* hindi man lamang niya sinama si Kris sa game

i saw it coming

I like watching people go about their day to day activities

I like observing people react and respond to the rhythm of life

I like the feeling of an "I-saw-it-coming" scenario in other people's life, with of course a knowing smirk plastered on my annoyingly pale face.

I'm not weird, mind you it just so happens that "thinking" happens to be one of my most favorite past times, though too bad its not very academically inclined coz, I badly need it for statistics! heaven help me!

just recently, I told bene my plans for my future.

How I dream of working for "United Nations"
How I so badly wanted to visit Africa and see poverty, malnourisment, and AIDS in all its wonder and glory
How I wanted to do an Angelina Jolie and maybe adopt a few kids here there
How I wanted to set up public schools in remote regions of the country....

basically I wanted to help people

how very scholastican,

but as what krystle commented on Sarita's article "that's what you're programmed to say"

I'll admit that maybe I was programmed to say it, since I unfortunately lack the drive to do so..


I am a dreamer, a wanna-be student leader
and sadly an apathetic student
only watching and waiting in the sidelines
like a pathetic filipina, who sighs and sighs
unfeeling, and devoid of interest

minsan tinatanung ko sa sarili ko

"san ba ko lulugar sa mundo?"

sabi ni ervin dati, karaniwan daw yang tinatanong ng mga taong magpapakamatay..

kamusta naman yun?!...

ikaw?

alam mo na ba kung san mo ilulugar ang sarili mo sa mundo?

sumasabay ka ba sa agos ng pagbabago?

..ako napasama ako...

and it brought me to place somewhere between the feeling of "contentment, unsatisfaction and independence"...gets ba?!

of life and learning

all the hardwork's finally been paid off

and as director i was really heappy when our professor said:

"very impressive, miss africa"

I can finally breathe properly

no more evacuating classrooms
no more early meetings
no more will I ever sniff the putrid scent of textile paint
and no more will I ever hear all the poetry readers recite their poems in unison in my head...



its been such an adventure..the whole two weeks of preparation...i've learned a lot and the pivilege is mine....

kahit nawalan ako ng pera kahapon
kahit nawala ang scientific calculator ko
kahit hindi ako pumasa sa entrance test ng aming school paper
at kahit na naging depressed ako kasi parang ala pa akong natatagumpayan ngayung sem

I just feel so blessed to have this opportunity of working with my block..
dahil dito nakilala ko pa sila ng lalo..


and i got a taste of what leading a big group was like....masaya rin pala

who knows

i'm wasted

i'm tired

i'm sleepy

wala pang dalawang linggo pakiramdam ko parang finals na..sobrang daming ginagawa..pero natutuwa ako kasi for the past few days..i dunno..parang napakapositive ko...even if i was so tired and close to collapsing parang ang gaan gaan parin ng feeling ko deep inside i dunno why...pero i'm happy na i'm not being absorbed by all the negativity areound me..

bagong school year

bagong mga prof

at laking gulat ko ng makapansin ako ng pagbabago sa aking mga kamag-aral....parang nagmature sila...i didn't know people could mature in a span of three months...pero gaya nga ng sinabi ni Korina Sanchez, Who knows?

bugbog na kaming lahat sa dami ng case studies, paperworks, at kung anu-anu pa...habang ang iba naman sa amin ay feeling nila ay nililipasan na sila ng panahon dahil nga sa kawalan ng love life...heto parin ako at sinasabi sa sarili ko...been there done that....sigh...i don't wanna think about it anymore..i'd like to think na gusto muna ni Lord na magpakabibbo ako sa aking pag-aaral...pero i can't help but sigh outloud and ask no one in particular..."kelan kaya?"...again..who knows?

lil ol moi!

twing nanunuod ako ng naruto natutuwa ako pag lumalabas minsan si "inner sakura"

kasi napag isip isip ko narin

para kong may alter ego yung dual personality effect! minsan nga triple pa e!

i dunno minsan sinosort out at kinacategorize ko sila

may isang laid-back at tamad...na dedemotivated

may isang bitch at mainitin ang ulo..

and last but not the least goody-two-shoes...ambishosa..bibbo at typical na capricorn..

minsan nga nagugulat ako sa sarili ko..kung anung masasamang bagay ang pumapasok sa isip ko, and then i'd feel guitly afterwards..haaay

or sometimes ang dali rin mag-switch ng personality ko one minute para akong in-love na hindi naman and then the next para kong sinabuyan mainit na tubig at iinit na ang ulo ko..

iniisip ko tuloy

marami pang araw, linggo, buwan, at mga taon ang naghihintay para sakin

kung anung trabaho ang mga papasukan ko..malay ko

kung mag-kakalab-life ba ko......malay ko din

pero eto ang naging konklusyon sa aking pagmumuni

sabi sakin ng aking butihing pinsan maganda rin daw pag "in a relationship ka" kasi makikilala mo pa ng lalo ang sarili mo...

speechless ako nun

pero nung huli sabi ko sa sarili ko...oo nga makikilala mo pa lalo ang sarili mo pag sumabak ka sa relationship pero hindi ba dapat kilalanin mo muna ang sarili mo bago yun..kilalanin mo muna at mahalin mo muna ang sarili mo bago ang iba...yun ang paniniwala ko...marahil sinasabi ko lang yan kasi hindi pa'ko nakakasabak sa isang romantic relationship..at isa pa naniniwala din ako na kaya ala pa'ko sa ganung "stage" ng buhay ko ay gusto muna ni lord na intindihin ko muna ang sarili bago ko atupagin yung iba...iintindihin ko muna yung sarili ko..kikilitasin ang bawat katangian na meron ako...then and only then can i truly find and love someone who accepts me for me and for what i lack....and then and only then can i love "na may labis pero walang kulang"...and in the process be able to get to know myself more while in a romantic relationship and how it feels to be with someone who makes you happy and content.

=============================


pasukan na at ala man akong bagong bag ngayun dahil sa presyo ng mga bilihin

sinusumpa ko na this year will be totally different

dine-clutter ko yung room ko

and it feels good kasi para kong nakahinga ng maluwag..

wish me luck in my second year!..

a glow in the afternoon

A few months ago i was able to read a book i never thought would change my outlook in life, love and so much more. It taught me to be self-reliant in a cosmo-girl sort of way, and it certainly was a good read. The book that i was referring to was Claire betita's "No boyfriend since birth". I take it that this book is every nbsb's ( no boyfriend since birth) cup of tea. I actualy felt better after reading the book. Heck! I had this stupid grin plastered on my face!

question: what is worse than having no boyfriend ?
answer: Having guys literally surround you - with none of them seemingly interested in you.

* Reese witherspoon syndrome - you become so bored with the perfection of our life you obsess about the smallest things.

"Thsoe breathing execises certainly helped me stay calm. As my favorite author Yynala Vanzant would say. I should enjoy and learn from the "mean time" - that period of time between seeking like and finding love. Hence, I decided to take whatever time i had to clean out my head of any crazy notions about love; crazy notions I developed overtime thanks to an overwhelming desire to be part of a couple. I figured that when love finally comes, I'd have better heart to welcome love into if i wasn't busy insisting on having deep feelings for guys who looked like they could be my boyfriend. Sometimes love just happens . I no longer get up in the morning and "wish" I had someone to call a boyfriend when reunion seasons rolls around. But I am definitely making myself more open to relationships based on real connections"
--------- quotation from "No boyfriend since birth"

nbsb ka ba?

ni rerecommend ko sa'yo to

its a good read

naramdaman ko talagang nagbago ang outlook ko sa ibang bagay....
