After Going Back to Work. :)

[currently listenin to: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?]

Haha. Well, the first day of being back to "work" wasn't so bad. Actually, bumawi nga ako e. Haha! 3 shows sa first day ko after Christmas. 3 shows! I barely made it after class!! :P

But it's overwhelming coz I really missed my friends there. :)

Although first day..wapak!!..napagalitan agad ang buong sambayanan... :P

Hehe..halos 12:30am na ako nakauwi!! :D Saya db!?

BUM. Christmas 2010.

[currently listening to: Chinese channel]

Aaaaah!! 5 araw na ako walang class!!

Out of shape na nga...mas out of shape pa lalo... :P

December 23

Cast A kasi ng show. So off kami nun. Just went shopping that day na lang. Grabe. Ang gastos ko talaga!

December 24

Off ang buong company this day. Sa bahay lang forever. First bath din ni Pepot! Ang panget niya talaga pag basa. Para siyang malaking daga. And super nginig kaya I blowdried him na lang (not too hot, of course). NagChristmas Eve mass lang ng 10pm, and that's it.

December 25

Start ng Christmas shows sa Aliw. Naka apat na shows ata sila. But I had to go to Tarlac. Di ko nga maiwanan yung pup kaya sinama na lang namin. Super stress sa kanya. Super stress din sa akin. He loved Mommy Iling's house though.

December 26

Reunion naman ng Sinchioco. Blaah. Kainan lang naman tapos takas na agad. My parents wanted to watch Ai Ai's Tanging Ina kaya nagmall hopping kami (Powerplant, Newport City, Greenbelt) and none of them had the movie. Well, Greenbelt had it kaya lang ang dami talagang tao! Kaya nagCartimar na lang kami that day and bought Pepot new stuff.

December 27

Lunch sa Kimono Ken

I ordered the stuff na I can't afford alone! Haha

Pepot's first visit to the vet. And wala pa din akong show this day. Isang cast lang yung December 25-27. Damn. Kaya yung di natuloy na movie day, today na lang. We watched the 12:10pm screening in Shangri-la.

December 28

AHA!! Finally, I get back to work later! Good luck though sa class, cause this will most probably hurt like hell tomorrow. 5 days ka ba namang walang activity. Gahd. I miss my BM family na. :)

KUTOOOOOO!!!

[currently listening to: Lady Gaga]

Gahd. Yes. He has TICKS!!!

*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Two possible reasons why he has them:

• Before arriving, he already had them. (from Cartimar)
• He got them from the other dog, Pepper, who stayed outside close to his first set-up in the kitchen.

It's really hard to see him scratch himself like that. Nakakaawa. 

So when we went to Cartimar last night, I bought him new stuff:

1. Water Feeder
2. Squeaky Toys (he absolutely loves them!)
3. Collar & Leash
4. FRONTLINE Spot-on

The #4 is the most important. I made a lot of research, and that was what I found to be the most effective for ticks. And mas mura siya sa Cartimar. I got one pipette for PhP280 in Cartimar. It's PhP375 when you get it from the vet.

Ang ginawa ko na lang, I bought the Frontline in Cartimar, then pina-apply ko na lang sa vet since I wasn't sure where I'm supposed to put it. Libre pa. :)

Chooey a.k.a. PEPOT

[currently listening to: Mama's music files]

Eto na siya. :)

Originally, CHOOEY yung gusto kong name. Short for Chewbaka (kahit na yung EWOKS ang kamukha niya. Haha). Kaya lang, Papa kept on calling him PEPOT hanggang sa si Pepot na lang ang kilala niyang name niya. So it kinda stuck, whether I liked it or not. ;[

I got him last Dec. 21, Christmas party pa ng BM nun. Pinagkaguluhan, kaya bonggang stress ang inabot ni Pepot. Ako din, bonggang stress. Haha

Same day, binilhan ko na din siya ng bed, food (syempre), brush, tsaka doggie bowl. Taxi din kami nang bonggang bongga pauwi. Haha

First Few Days sa Bahay

Haay..mga unang araw niya sa bahay wala pa siyang own space kaya nilagay ko muna siya sa may kitchen.

May newspaper siya sa sulok para dun siya magpoopoo and magweewee (it took a while daw bago siya masanay dun :P)

Una niyang set-up. Haha.

Nagharang ako ng poly-something sa isang side then isang metal na parang grate sa kabilang side para di siya pakalat-kalat sa buong bahay (he already peed twice on the bed, pooped how many times sa may sala and kitchen).

And diyan din siya nahawahan ng KUTO ni Pepper. Lecheng Pepper na yan, nakakaawa tuloy pag nakikita kong nagkakamot si Pepot.

Bought him a PLAYPEN.

He now stays in my room.

December 23 ata. I went back to Cartimar to buy him his pen! I didn't want to buy a crate kasi nga ayaw ko siyang ikulong na as in KULONG. So I looked for something na confined siya sa isang space pero open na lang yung taas. So I opted for a pen.

So ayan na yung pen niya. Kasya siguro ang isa pa. So it's big for him. And...he stays in MY ROOM!! Haha. So medyo amoy dog na yung room ko ngayon. :P

Thank you so much sa nagbuhat ng napakabigat na bagay na 'to. I love you so much!!! :-*

December 25, 2010

Reunion ng Sigua sa Tarlac, and I can't really leave Pepot in the house kaya sinama namin siya.
Pinagkaguluhan uli ang loko dun. Star uli siya. Hahaha
Stress din uli ako.

Pero...
WAAAAAAH!!!
Sorry, late ko nang narealize na malaking stress yun sa puppies, yung pagtravel ng matagal. Yikes.

See, told you ang weird.

I think he vomitted once nung pauwi na kami. It's either because of the huge stress sa pagtravel or kasi gutom na siya. I'm not really so sure.

Ang cute niya pa din matulog though.
Panu ka hindi matutulog, kung ganun kagrabeng pagtakbo-takbo yung ginawa mo sa Tarlac.
Lagi siyang ganyan matulog pag nandun siya sa bed niya. Laging weird yung position. :P

Puppy Hunting.

[currently listening to: Family Guy 10]

The big pet haven, Cartimar. With all your pet needs!

Hi guys!  
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! :D

New look, new urge to blog again.

Maybe this time I would be sharing my experiences as a new mom...to a "furbaby", that is.

I recently bought myself a Shih Tzu pup this Christmas.

I've been considering getting myself a small dog all year and I finally decided to go through with it. I wanted a smaller dog since I wanted to experience having an small "indoor" dog, being in a family that only had BIG dogs (we have a German Shepherd, a Siberian Husky, a half Siberian Husky, and an Aspin), so those guys, obviously, could just stay outside.

Plus, now, I think I could already provide the basic needs of a little pup. So here, why not. :)

I've been going around Cartimar for some time, looking for my future baby. Yes, I know about puppy mills and the bad reputation of pet stores, but I couldn't really afford the pups that good and reputable breeders have. So as best as I could, I looked for a good store. My definition of good being: the sellers should be the owners of the pups' parents, they should know the basic things about the breed, they have concern for their puppies, they have a good/clean environment, etc

So before asking around, I made sure I researched about the breeds I was interested in. Originally, I wanted a pug. But when I searched for one, I only found one place who had them and they kinda looked "unhealthy". So iba na lang. I looked for my second favorite, the Shih Tzu.

There were A LOT of Shih Tzus there. Every place practically had them. I looked for the most reasonably priced pups. The not-too-cheap/not-too-high priced one. And eventually, I found Aling Naty. Haha.

The playful pups drew me to them. And Aling Naty even let me touch the pups. Ang KULIT nila!!! They were very active little boogers!! Hahaha

So ayan na, I told Aling Naty I'd come back. :)

Actually, when I went puppy hunting, I haven't told my parents about it pa. So that night, I asked my mom if I could get a pup. The usual responsibility concerns was discussed until my mom finally said, "If it's the only way I could get you home, why not."

Gahd. -_-

Hahaha

And here's the start of a whole new series of MADNESS. :D

Like nothing happened.

[currently listening to: somebody typing her speech plan beside me]

I lost my phone last Monday, I bought a new one right away the next day.

And to everybody's surprise, I bought the exact same phone. The very same model. Even the jelly cover was the same, the screen guard was the same.

It was like nothing ever happened.

But the damage inflicted on me will never be disguised.

I liked my old number pa naman, *sigh*..ayan, result of stupidity and carelessness.

At least, it's still the same phone, I wouldn't have to get used to a new set of keys.

It's just that, this really punched a hole in my bank account *more sighing*

LESSON LEARNED, Eka.

P*nyeta. The Ketchup Phone Snatching Story.

[currently listening to: Lance Gamiao]

Haay. The formentioned Corby phone has been stolen.
It's gone na. None. Nada. No more!

So if you've been reading this blog for a long time now, you may have noticed I have a new number (please see Facebook profile for number).

And ang ayoko lang is the way it was stolen.
It was all because of....


...KETCHUP.


:|
damnit. I like ketchup pa naman!!!

It was a Monday morning (September 6), I was on my way to school pa lang. It was the day I decided I would wear my surfer shorts (the one with no pockets). So I commuted to school holding my phone with its headset on. I was in the jeep to Pasay Rotonda, in Edsa na, feeling a bit sleepy when suddenly a random middle aged guy tapped my shoulder...

"Miss, miss, may ano ka sa balikat mo o"

Siyempre tumingin naman ako.

"Kadiri, miss. Punasan mo yan, kadiri."

Siyempre, nakaputi pa ako, so pupunasan ko talaga!

"Miss, dun pa sa likod o."

So tinignan ko pa sa likod! (stupid move)
then via peripheral vision, bumaba na yung lalaki..
I was wearing my earphones, it suddenly became quiet.
Hinawakan ko yung cord, ABA!!!...di na siya nakaconnect sa kahit ano!?!
I realized (Loading...) na wala na yung phone ko.
"YUNG CELLPHONE KO?!?!?!!???"

Yung mga tao naman sa jeep, "Ayun na siya o." (pointing outside)

Di na ako nakapagisip, I jumped out of the jeep and ran....ran for my life.
I still remember the face of the asshole, so I tried to go after him pa.
Until I reached Evangelista. I was screaming by that time.

Yung taong-bayan, "Miss, ano nangyari sa'yo?"
"MAY NAGNAKAW NG CELLHONE KOOOOOO!!!!"

Gahd. Seeing na wala na talaga yung guy, I looked for a pay phone. I tried to call my mother. The whole conversation itself if another story.

I just headed back to school looking all grizzly and tired, like I've been mugged......oh right, I HAVE been mugged. :|

And I CRIED. I cried so hard. First because it was all stupid. I was stupid. Antanga-tanga. Second, It was because that Corby was the first expensive phone I bought with MY money. Iba na talaga pag ikaw ang nagearn ng pambili mo. Third, KETCHUP??!?!?! I went through the day with a ketchup stain on my shoulder!!..I could smell the whole incident the WHOLE freakin' day.

It was too much. After ng exam sa Bio101 (which I took poorly), I called my mom na to pick me up. I didn't have the strength to take another class.

Because of all these, I learned a lot from this freakin' experience:

• Don't bring out your phone while commuting, even if it's ringing..
• Don't ride a jeep in Edsa alone in the morning na. Just wake up EARLIER to ride with your mom in the morning.
• Never trust anyone in a jeep, especially men in white collared shirts.
• When somebody calls your attention in a jeep, DO NOT MIND THEM. They might be trying to distract you.
• When it already happens, DO NOT run after them, it may cause you your life.
  

Kaya hindi na ako lumaki. :)

[currently listening to: 106.7 Dream FM]

Ba't nga ba hindi na ako lumaki?

Well, it is because ever since marami na akong dala-dala.

Hahaha. Sa araw-araw na ginawa ni Lord, lagi akong mukhang maglalayas. 

Kasi naman, it feels weird pag hindi mabigat, para bang andami kong nakalimutang dalin?

So ang essentials ang mga sumusunod:

• PHONE - ay sus, mabubuking ako nang bonggang bongga kapag isang araw nakalimutan ko 'yan. Hahaha. This is my buddy, my ever handy-dandy trusty phone. And besides, maiincomunicado ako kay AA 'pag wala yan.
• The signature red bag - signature dahil lagi ko syang dala. I've had it since my first year in college and I've been using it ever since. Hahaha. A Jansport bag won't let you down naman db? :)
• Lanyard - there are 2 kinds: the bio lanyard na nakasabit sa bag ko and the UP lanyard na nakasabit naman sa leeg ko. 
• Bio Lanyard - puro susi ang laman nyan. And nakasabit sya sa bag para madali na lang hugutin. Wala naman sigurong magnanakaw ng susi, db?
• UP Lanyard - ID, Timezone card, Lab Card, at pang-ATM, nandito lahat. And this is the key to discounts sa jeep. Yeah!

• Ballet Stuff/Camera Bag - bitbit ko from Tuesday to Sunday. Lahat ng pangballet, nandyan. At ang aking pinakamamahal na camera ay nandyan na din. 

At lahat ng iyan, bitbit-bitbit ng napakaliit kong katawan. And yes, mabigat siya. Hahahaha.

Kaya yan lang naman ang reason kung bakit hindi na talaga ako lumaki.

HAHAHAHAHA. :D 

How to Tell if Your Boyfriend is Cheating on You.

[currently listening to: 30 Seconds to Mars]

Because of recent events, I have gathered easy steps to find out if your boyfriend is cheating on you. You there might be dating a man-whore right now, so better look out for the signs:

• No communication. No more chats, no more sharing of stories. Nada. Bigla talagang lumayo.
• He texts in secret. He doesn't let you check his phone anymore, he immediately deletes his inbox and sent messages. (Hmm...this alone is alreadyvery suspicious)
• You don't know where he goes anymore. He'll only tell you he has somewhere to go but he won't exactly tell you where.
• No response from any doting from you. NR sa kahit anong lambing na gawin mo.
• He smells different. By now, you've already memorized his scent. One day, he'll just smell different.
• When you tell him you two need to talk, he'll tell you in a -_- way, "I'll try to fix this". But you won't really see any change afterwards.
• He breaks from routine. If usually he convinces you to do something, one day he'll tell you to not do it na lang. (e.g. He always tells you to attend company class. One day, he just told you, "No, just stay here. Just rest" WTF?!)
• He comes to you always feeling tired. (Hmm...what could he be doing? Or rather, WHO could he be doing?)
• He does not look at you in the eye. (meaning he's really guilty)
• He suddenly became more eager to learn new things.

:(

I can't help it.

 I FEEL SO MISERABLE. 

:'(((

Taxi! Taxi! O sh*t, taxi. O_o

[currently NOT listening to: Prof. Go]

Ikaw ba, nagtataxi ka?

Because there ARE definitely times na taking a cab is a much better idea. Like pag may occasion and you're wearing something unfit for a jeepney ride, or pag sobrang dami ng dala mo na nakakatakot magjeep, or even pag sobrang selan ng dala mo (like laptops or SLRs na sabay mong dala) na MAS nakakatakot magjeep, or pag sobrang late na at wala na talagang jeep (o kaya mas nakakatakot nang dumaan ng Taft or Pasay rtda.). Taking a cab is more secure, lalo na pag may kasama ka.

And cabs are alright. HINDI lang pag nagaabuse sila.
Abuse like:
-rude drivers (sobrang kapal ng mukha)
-nakikipagkontrata/hindi ginagamit ang metro
-namimili ng pasahero/ng pupuntahan
-sobrang BILIS ng patak ng metro
-humihingi ng napakalaking dagdag

And unfortunately, I have experienced all of the mentioned above.

At ang ishshare ko lang, yung one day na 2 beses ako nagtaxi.
Nung umaga, sobrang bilis ng patak ng metro ni manong.
Nung gabi naman, ang laki ng hinihinging dagdag.

Eto si Taxi #1:

Shet talaga. Nasa SSH pa lang ako P107.50 na agad yun when usually nasa 70+ pa lang dapat...

Eto naman si Taxi #2:


Siya naman, he asked me to add PhP50.
PhP50!!!!?!?!?! Nyeta?!?!@#$%&**!

Ang laki-laki ng 50 ha!! Sabi ko na lang "ANO?!?! 50!!?!? ANG LAKI-LAKI NAMAN!!!!?!"

E nafeel niyang something is better than nothing kaya sagot naman si manong, "sige, 30 na lang..."

SHET ka, manong. Pero kailangan ko na talagang umuwi...5 taxi na ata yung nagreject sakin kasi "malayo" daw (hindi kaya!) yung pupuntahan ko...kaya sabi ko na lang, "fine, just hurry up."


So warning lang sa mga first-time magtaxi.
Marami ganyan, kaya mag-ingat na lang talaga.

Madalas ang nangyayari, dahil wala ka nang choice, bibigay ka na lang din. Minsan naman, wala ka na talagang magawa dahil baka ano pa ang gawin ng driver sa'yo (lalo na pag mag-isa ka lang at babae ka pa). Kaya pumili mabuti ng taxi.

Don't get me wrong, hindi naman sila lahat ganyan. Marami na din akong nasakyan na mabait naman ang driver (na you'll actually give them a little extra)..
Gayahin naman sana sila nung mga naunang mga manong.

CINEMALAYA 2010: Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio.

[currently listening to: Lady Gaga]

This July, I had the chance to watch one of the Directors Showcase in Cinemalaya 2010 in the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

My Papa was persistent in getting tickets to this film, Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio, since DUH, he is a hardcore Bonifacio fan. This one's directed by Mario O'Hara. The synopsis from Cinemalaya's site is as follows:

Ang Paglilitis ni ANDRES Bonifacio is the untold story of the trial of Andres Bonifacio under the Revolutionary Government of Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo.  Two leaders, Andres Bonifacio, Supremo of the Katipuneros, and Emilio Aguinaldo, president of the Revolutionary Government, made their way to fight for freedom for the Filipinos against the dominant rule, fought for a cause and for a reason to be one nation.  Yet only one should rule.  This was the start of Philippine politics.  Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio is a film documentation of Philippine history put to screen and megged by Mario O’Hara.  And now, let the people be the judge whether Andres Bonifacio is guilty or not guilty of treason.

And it was a good film. I ended up crying through the last part.
Anyway, for me, the most heart-breaking part was Gregoria de Jesus's poem for Andres. It was embarassing, I think you would easily hear my sobbing since it was just a small room.
I dunno, but try searching for Gregoria's poem, it really IS...heart-breaking.

Ang weird lang coz Papa kept on arguing with himself (and the director?) after the film. I think pinanood niya lang yun para maprove yung belief niya and seeing na there were SOME parts na hindi tumugma, inaway niya agad. HAHA. WTH??!?!

The screening was in Tanghalang Huseng Batute. July 12, 9pm. And it was a full-length film. It ended pretty late. Buti na lang mya bukas pa na restaurant that time.
Nagdinner na lang kami si Hap-Chan sa Harbour.

Ganyan talaga kayo sa MAKATI.

[currently listenin to: may kuryente na ha, ba't naka-on pa din yung generator ng kapitbahay?!]

Ganyan talaga kayo sa MAKATI.

It's July 16,2010. For some reason, nakasabay ako kay Papa pauwi dahil nanggaling siyang MOA. Sa may South Super Highway, near Magallanes na, may stoplight.
It was YELLOW pa, so my Papa kept on driving since he was still accelerating.
Then the next thing I know, some dude with a flashlight in a car was trying to stop us. Wow. It was the police. The MAKATI Police.

So what did my dad do wrong for him to be stopped by the authorities?

This ragged looking old man walked towards my dad's window and he told him that he was beating the red light.

Papa: E sir, YELLOW pa yung ilaw nung dumaan ako.

Man: Hindi, sir. May CCTV ho kami at nakita namin na red light na yun.

(Well, I, for one, saw that the light was still yellow btw.)

And what was odd, this man smelled so intoxicated. He reaked of alcohol and his manner of speaking was slurred, very slurred. Like he was murmuring of some kind.
But he denied having drunk anything when my dad asked if he had a lot to drink.

Of course, Papa's license was taken but the officers back at the car were looking for something else. They were asking for LAGAY.

My Papa's not really stupid. He knows the fees you are to pay when you get caught. But giving excuses that paying the ticket would cost you thousands (when actually it'll only take you a couple of hundred pesos) won't really convince him.

The Police car was SHU-831 by the way.

Pakshet. Wala pa ding POWAH.

[currently listening to: the sound of the generator of the kapitbahay pa din]

Pakshet talaga.
Wala pa ding kuryente. Madilim pa din. May exam sa Genetics. At may pasok na daw bukas.
SHET talaga.

Panu ba mag-aral sa dilim?
Ugh. I'm still living off the remaining battery of my puny netbook.

So my class-free day started like this:
Early in the morning, classes were suspended.
At noon, I found out I had to go to my lolo's birthday. And this meant I had to miss company class. Try to resist and your mom'll only tell you, "Sige, subukan mong umalis, nagtatampo na sayo ang lolo mo. Di ka na nga binibigyan ng baon e!" (Pressure!)
So at learning this, I had to make paalam sa BM na hindi ako makakapasok. Kaya I texted Sir Jay and told him na hindi ako makakapag-company class at hahabol na lang ako. Nagreply siya ng "Ok."
Okay...
So after nung birthday, I told my parents to drop me off somewhere na lang para makapunta na ako sa Donada.
*commute* *commute*

Pag dating sa Donada...
kita ko si Robert, naglalakad na, wala daw apprentice class. Tanong naman ako, "Pero may rehearsals?"
Meron daw.
So lakad pa din ako...
kita ko sina King...kakain sa Pares..di ko pinansin, di rin ako pinansin.. :|
then kita ko sina Teacher Lopz and Teacher Sofie...pauwi na..
So I was like "uuh, teacher! La na pong rehearsals?!"
Teacher Lopz: Wala. Umuwi ka na.
Me: Ugh. Damn. (magchacharge na nga lang ako ng phone!)

Pag dating ko sa loob, nagrerehearse sina Ma'am Lise...sina Dawna, Kim, and Joan, may rehearsals pa (shet. buti pa sila may sayaw)
Nagcharge ako ng mga 15mins, then umalis na din ako (nakakahiya, di naman ako nagklase, magsstay pa ako dun)

Uwi na ako. Bigo.
Kailangan pa ding mag-aral. Shet.
Pag-uwi...mahahalata mo talaga na nasalanta ang paligid ng bagyo.

---

Ang hirap mag-aral!
Nung mga hapon-hapon pa, medyo maliwanag pa. Sa balcony ko ako sumubok mag-aral.
Kaya lang medyo kinailangang tiisin ang konting ulan at malapit na ding dumilim nun. Natapos ko naman ang isang chapter.


Nung gumabi na, madilim na talaga. Walang choice kundi magkandila. Shet. Sinaunang panahon. Primitibo. Maloloka na ako. Aantukin lang talaga ako. Oh please, imove niyo ang exam!!!

Yaw ko na nang ganito! Come back, Powah! COME BACK!!



07/14/2010 9:00pm

Ang mga Kuwento ni Lola at ni Basyang.

[currently listening to: the sound of the generator of the kapitahay]

Hooray. Bumabagyo.Shet.
Andito pa si Basyang...
And finally, nagannounce na na walang pasok sa UP.
(subukan lang nilang papasukin pa kami,e lumilipad na yung mga bakal na upuan sa labas..and anyway ayoko nang maulit yung experience ko kagabi.haha)

Experience kagabi:
UMUWI AKO NANG WALANG PAYONG. (ang saya no? haha)
Sino ba naman ang ulyanin, nilagay ang payong sa labas ng room (RH302) para patuyuin. Nang matapos ang Invert Zoo lecture, lumabas-labas agad ang lowlah mo, nakalimutan na ang bagong maroon niyang payong. Haaaay. Stupid

So ang galing, nakadress pa ako kahapon (nagrecycle na nga lang ng damit). Malay ko bang babagyuhin na ako. Hahahaha, Antanga talaga, So basa hanggang panty ang lowlah mo.
Basa na nga, malamig pa. Makalaglag-panty ang lamig, nanginginig na ako (duh, basa nga ang damit mo e, ewan ko na lang kung di ka pa lamigin). So salamat mama, sinundo mo na ako sa Petron, ayaw ko na talagang maglakad mula sa guard house hanggang bahay.

---

So wow, eto yung first experience NATIN ng bagyo together! hahaha bonding ba?
Salamat talaga at hinintay mo ako, kundi, hinangin na ang lowlah mo. Nanigas na nga, hinangin pa, most probably. Pasensiya na kung pinaghintay kita ng ilang oras...pero di ko maimagine kung pano ako nakauwi kung wala ka.

---

So now is the morning after that.
Walang ngang pasok, wala ding KURYENTE. (I'm living off the battery of my netbook. Shet) My phone's battery is halfway empty/full. And I don't have freakin' internet for studying and answering lab manuals (supposedly due today). Shet.

This is what I woke up to. Pero kalma na yan. Nagising ako ng 1am dahil umuungol talaga ang hangin. As in HOWLING. Nakakatakot. Bigla pang bumukas ang windoor ko kaya nagulat ako kagabi. Grabeh ang hangin.

Ang ginawa ko, lumipat ako sa kwarto ng mama't papa ko. (waaah. FAIL. haha. NAKAKATAKOT kaya!)


AYAN.Inaantok na ako uli. It's just 6:39 in the morning. Tulog ako uli ah.
Kiss.Kiss!

n/a

Corn and Kabag. Mwahaha.

[currently listenin to: Jason Mraz]

Okay. So dahil finally, wala na akong braces and nakaretainers na lang ako, sinubukan ko uling kumain ng thing na halos 3 taon ko ding hindi nakain.

Corn.

(on a cob ah. haha)

Dahil sa wala akong Physics nung araw na iyon (wala si Ma'am Johnson)...dumeretso na ako sa Star after ng lab. So 3pm pa lang, nasa Star na ako.

Bawal kaya ang masyadong maaga dun kaya sabi ni kuya Guard, kain na lang daw muna ako.Go naman ako. Kain. Hahahahaha

And yun, naisip kong bumili ng corn.  (FYI hindi lang iyon ang nabili ko haha)

Alas, hindi na ako marunong kumain nun. Ang kalat. Hahahaha. Medyo naenjoy ko naman (it could have used a little more salt nga lang.)

But that's not the point. The main thing happened hours after. Hahaha

Corn is a starchy food, and therefore it produces gas. Hahaha

So that night I kinda suffered from intestinal gas/gas pains/KABAG (for short)

Hahahaha

Ang funny lang kasi pauwi, Kuya Gerry kept on patting my back, para daw dumighay ako. (like burping a baby?) And the road na dinadaanan naman was NOT smooth. Baku-bako. That didn't help. Ang sakit kaya!!! Hahaha

It felt like you had too much liquid or something sa loob ng tiyan mo. Kulang na lang tusukin ko tiyan ko with a safety pin para lumabas lahat ng hangin e. Hahaha

Lesson Learned: Wag nang kumain ng corn dahil kakabagin ka. Hahaha

5 out of 34 secrets every woman keeps from her man:

 [currently listenin to: my gentle sobs]

• Even if I insist on paying or splitting the bill on our first date, I'll think you're cheap if you actually let me.
• I start fights with you because I'm feeling ignored. I'm trying to force emotion out of you. Don't retreat into your cave; just give me what I want: some attention. And never tell me to "calm down," unless you want to guarantee that I absolutely won't.
• I'm constantly testing you. I observe, analyse, and judge every action, word, gesture, e-mail and facial expression. When I ask you if you like threesomes, I don't expect you to say, "Yes". If you want me to speak to you again, let alone sleep with you after this conversation, the answer should always be, "Why would I want to sleep with another woman when I have you?"
• I check out your butt every time you leave the room.
• I fantasised about being with you at least a dozen times before we actually first got naked. 

oops...inexit ko na yung window with the site where I got it e. Basta these are the 5 that kinda struck me the most I guess...haha

Autophobia.

[currently listenin to: Lea Michele]

Autophobia. The fear of being alone. It may be from someone or something.

Meron ba ako nun? Hmmm...

Ridiculous, but honestly, I didn't enjoy the field trip we just had a while ago.

Maybe I would be talking about my Hum II field trip some other time. Now, I just want to "release" how I felt just a few hours back.

Obsessed? Maybe. But I kept making glances at my phone. Sometimes, I even hear it ring even though it's not ringing, I feel it vibrating even if it's not vibrating. 

I was just waiting for it to come to life. 

But most of today, it was still.

Ugh. Eka, you shouldn't be like this! This is ridiculous.

But still, I can't help it.

60 things a guy must know.

[currently listenin to: The Fray]

Yes. I found something YOU should...take note: SHOULD..read. Hehehe.

Because it's just soooo true.

60 things a guy must know.

1. Don’t think that just because you didn’t tell us we are never going to find out. (tried and tested, db?)

2. Our friends know EVERYTHING.

3. EVERYTHING said to our friends will be told to us. Guaranteed.

4. No matter what we say, we hate your ex-girlfriend.

5. We check our phones every hour to see if you have replied to our texts, then worry if you haven’t.

6. The fact you might leave us for another girl keeps us up at night.

7. When we’re not talking to you on YM, we’re actually waiting for you to talk to us (in a non-snobby way, we want to see if you still care enough to talk to us).

8. When we act sad, we want you to hug us.

9. Our favourite part of the YM convo is at the end when you say good bye, because that’s the part you say you love us.

10. We actually freak out on what to do during holidays like Valentines Day.

11. We don’t care what our friends think of you, but we do care what your friends think of us.

12. Yes, you might be the reason we failed that Math test.

13. We are very, very scared of scaring you away.

14. We don’t care about what we talk about, just as long as we have your attention for a few minutes.

15. Of course, we do believe the crap we read in magazines.

16. We have mood swings. Get over it.

17. Everytime you’re around other girls, we worry they are better than us.

18. We don’t want to hear how cool your ex-girlfriend/neighbour/best gal friend is.

19. Movies like ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ depress us.

20. We will move mountains on our timetable if it means seeing you.

21. We compare every other guy to you, and you always come out best.

22. We hate it when you go to discos without us.

23. We hate feeling as if we are like any other girl.

24. Don’t brag about other girls liking you, it just makes us insecure.

25. When we say everything is ‘fine’, it generally means everything is absolutely horrible and we are on the brink of falling to pieces.

26. Don’t just say ‘ok’ when we say we don’t want to talk about it.

27. If you want to know something about us, ask our best friend.

28. If you do not hug us, we will not kiss you.

29. We think you are the best guy in the world.

30. We.Will.Kill.You.If.We.See.You.Slow.Dancing.With.Another. Girl.Without.Telling.Us.

31. We really do want you to stick up for us.

32. Compliments. We love them.

33. Be on time. We will think you don’t care if you’re not on time at a certain place.

34. Whether you say (L) or luv or love does matter.

35. We don’t care if you couldn’t come on that date because of the most embarrassing reason in the world, just don’t lie to us.

36. We like cuddling up to you so let us.

37. Silent Treatment + Short Answers + Not Smiling or Laughing + Evil Looks = YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG.

38. You will be classed in our ‘Hate’ list if you forget our birthday.

39. Do not ask what’s wrong. We’ll never tell you we just want you to cuddle us.

40. You need to tell us what you think of us, we don’t make assumptions (apart from ‘OMG HE’S GONE OFF ME HASN’T HE?!’)

41. Telling us that we are pretty will mean absolute LOADS.

42. Do not make fun of us unless we are in a good mood. As insecure as girls go, we take these things very seriously.

43. If you do end up doing Number 42, you just have to hope we aren’t in a bad mood.

44. Saying something sweet MIGHT get you off the hook. Doing something sweet will ALWAYS get you off the hook.

45. We never forget things. Ever.

46. We over-analyze everything.

47. We over-react to everything.

48. When we are mad at you, we aren’t actually mad at you we just want you to apologize so we can start showing we like you again.

49. Please don’t stand 384931491329403 feet away from us. Even if we are scary.

50. Please acknowledge that when we are online when you sign in, we probably have waited ages for you to come online so please make it worthwhile.

51. We do not care if 50 000 other guys declared their love for us if you never do it none of it matters.

52. We don’t like being used.

53. We like it when you do un-expected nice things.

54. We usually don’t let just any guy make us cry, so if you make us cry, damnnn you must have done something bad…

55. This is the way it works: You don’t give us any attention, we dump you. It is NOT: You don’t give us any attention, we chase after you. Deal with it.

56. We like it when you are protective of us. It makes us feel special.

57. Unless she is a moronic idiot, a girl who truly loves you will love you for a long, long time.

58. When we come back from a holiday and brag about how awesome it was, during the entire time there we were probably thinking about you. A lot.

59. No matter where we are or what we are doing, we really want you to hold our hand.

60. And please for the love of god shut up about how fit other girls are. You know we like you and the fact you do this despite you knowing how we feel is just evil.

MESS.

[currently listenin to: Rod Stewart]

I looked back at the mess I woke up in when I woke up last January first.

Well, it's not so different with the normal mess I have.

I know it's messy, but I know where I put my stuff na pag biglang inayos, hindi ko na alam kung san ko kukunun yung gamit ko?

OY, don't get me wrong, pag tapos ko naman magkalat, nagliligpit ako. It's not permanent mess kumbaga.

Mess ko sa Aliw.

Mess ko sa Star.

O db? Mess talaga. Hahaha. Wala lang. Hindi ko naman bnbroadcast na magulo talaga ako. Medyo lang. Tsaka napansin ko lang siya.

PERO INILIGPIT KO NAMAN YAN AFTER NOH!!!

The next morning, January 1.

[currently listenin to: SILENCE]

The next morning. January 1.

Actually, I got up at around 4am. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, changed my pants.

Then I realized

I was still wearing shoes.

Hahahaha. Ugh. Despicable but funny.

I went back to bed then at around 10 or 11am later that morning, I woke up to that. ^

It's even worse than the usual mess. Hahaha.

Ugh. My NOT So Happy (and sober) New Year.

[currently listenin to: Right Said Fred]

Gahd, This is probably my worst New Year's Eve. :|

December 31, 2009

It's the last night of 2009,

and the first time I got drunk.

Okaaaay. Maybe not that drunk, maybe a little (or very) tipsy.

As in MAJOR HEADACHE.

The world was blurry and it was spinning.

All thanks to 3 glasses of Red Horse

..and some shots of The Bar (yikes!)

This was all for the purpose of finding out my alcohol tolerance.

Well...it's not very high I found out. Haha

I know I was still conscious (kasi may kachat pa ako nung mga panahon na yun, though sabog na ata pagtatype ko nun)

It was something like: 

"Yo usdk now my awas k ep ekee inh  my glas sf u ol asdn  I now I fel e realy tips y u..."

...something like that. (It's hard to stimulate because my words NOW are all being typed correctly since I'm completely sober) Hindi ko na pagtatawanan sina Lina sa ganito. Ugh.

I think my father let me drink all that alcohol because ayaw na niya akong umulit. He wanted me to have a horrible first time so I wouldn't make a habit of it. And yes, he damn well succeeded! Hahaha

I was determined to talk pa to the person I was chatting with e, kaya lang from time to time I would bring my head down and it would feel so good, just lying there and not moving. But I was like, "NO! Must....continue.....typing!! Aaaargh!"

Embarassing, yes (hell yeah!). But it was a learning experience.

Too bad I missed the fireworks though. :(
