Ang saya ng buhay!

am I going to be depressed in 3...2....?...

Pagkatapos ng klase, parang unti-unting bumibigat ang pakiramdam ko. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ito sa kulang sa tulog o dahil sa lecheng hormones. Ang lungkot, naghanap ako ng makakausap, pero wala e. Lahat ng mga kadaldalan ko may klase kung di kaya MIA. Naiiyak ako na di mawari. Ayoko talaga ng ganitong pakiramdam.

Umuwi ako, sinubukan kong idaan sa Milko ice cream at piaya at pakiramdam ko. Napawi naman kahit papaano. Pero Leche talaga kung ganito na nga pakiramdam mo tapos biglang may taong magrereklamo na ang problema daw ay nakukuntento na lang kami sa ganito. Na wala siyang sariling TV at computer. Ang masakalap pa, gusto niyang sumang-ayon ako. Bato talaga siya! Tuod! Hindi na nga ako umiimik dahil kapag ako piangsalita, magsisigawan lang kami. mas mabuti pa ngang umalis siya. Akala niya, siya lang matyr dito. Baka gusto niyang magpahabaan ng listahan.

Pucha. Ayan na ang luha. Mas masakit talaga ang luha kapag pinipigilan.

Nawa'y maging maliwanag ang sikat ng araw bukas.

Happiness

Interesting article about the search for a happier life

Sometimes, when I ride the LRT and then there's an empty seat, I would let someone take the seat (example: pregnant lady or lola). Then I would say that would be my good deed for the day.

Pero sa mga dumaang araw, pasensya na lang, kulang talaga ako sa tulog at masakit ang katawan ko. Kaya di ako tatanggi ng mauupuan.

Malapit na ang biyaheng Baguio.WHEEEE!!! Kinakabahan na ako...

I'm planning of skipping my two classes tomorrow. I really need to sleep. i even skipped my major class today because a.) I wasn't prepared b.) I won't be able to pay attention in class. That would be my last absent for that class. I promise with Multiply as my witness.

Talk about Dedication: Buddhist monk cuts off penis

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061122/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_life_thailand_monk
A Thai monk cuts off his penis because he and an erection while meditating. Very devoted...

Good Morning!

It is 7 in the morning. I should be taking a bath then head to Greenbelt. But here I am multiplying.

I had a very weird dream. It involves Bulacan, relatives of high school classmates, fish and pancit.

Gustong kong gumapang pabalik sa kama at magtulog balut-balot ng kumot.

childhood pictures. nge!!!

Instead of doing my homework or something more productive, I suddenly became OC about my yahoo inbox. I decided to open all 400+ messages and delete/sort to an appropriate folder.

While going through the mail, I saw some old multiply alerts. One of which contains an album of our childhood made by my little sister.

There are two pictures of me wearing my dad's clothes (fresh from the office), another pic with the brother and sister long ago in Ayala Park and me biking wearing a terno-pambahay with head band. Bata palang ako, wala na akong ginawa kundi magpapicture. I think it runs in our family. Wait, let me correct that. Camwhoring runs in our family.

Pictures of us, young, innocent and chubby.

The Name Game

    I have always been proud of my name. I would even correct people who would mispronounce Antoinette (it should be an-twa-net, not an-toy-net). I also enjoy sharing the story of how I was named (Antoinette -derived from my father's Antonio that why Carl got Anthony, Isabelle -from the actress Isabelle Adjani whom my father read about her accident on the day my birth).

    Out of boredom and curiosity, I googled the meaning of my two names. Here are results:

• Isabelle
• Origin: French
  
• Meaning: Consecrated to God

• Antoinette
• Origin: French
• Meaning: praiseworthy, flourishing, beyond praise (usually associated with French queen Marie Antoinette)

    Then I found out that Isabelle "is also a is a popular generic theorem proving environment developed at Cambridge University and TU Munich". Click here to know more about it.

    It turns out I share the same names with a Brazilian princess of the Bragança Dynasty and  a  member of  the Netherlands  nobility.


    Talaga nga naman! Praiseworthy daw at consecrated to God. Of royalty and nobility pa.Ang galing talaga ni Papa gumawa ng pangalan.

isang walang kwentang pagsasalaysay ng buhay

    Inuubo pa rin ako. Pero konti na lang, yung tipong nauubo lang kapag na aalala (eng?)

    Napupuyat ako nang dahil sa internet. Kung anu-ano ang mga tinitignan ko at panay google. Hindi ito magandang pangitain, kaya siguro hindi nawawala ang ubo ko.

    Bakit ako nagkakaganito? Kung anu-ano na lang ang mga pinagtitignan ko (hindi pa naman tipong bastusin, pero tipong wala namang kinalaman sa ikagaganda ng buhay ko at ng mundo).

    Puro pasa ang mga tuhod ko. Ang cute tignan. Hehehe. Tinotopak na ako, natutuwa ako sa itsura ng pasa.

    Hindi na ako marunong pumasok sa school. Parang ang tagal kong di nag-aral, nagsembreak lang naman ako.

    Bumili ako ng isang pares ng sapatos. Masaya naman sila.

    Matutulog na ako. Wala na itong kwenta. Baka burahin ko din ito pagdating ng araw. Baka lang.

    Ang gastos ko. Lychee!

death and the deatheater

thanks ruth for the picture.
I used black eyeshadow and petroleum jelly for my lipstick. I needed to be resourceful. Hehehe. By the next morning, my lips were still black. Ang galing! tumatagal!

The NWA Halloween party/birthday celebration of Manong (a.k.a. Carl) at Hardrock Cafe last October 31.
I came as Neil Gaiman's Death wearing the black corset from ukay(whee). Carl came as the generic deatheater from HP movie #4. But I prefer to call him Deatheater #22.

sa gabi siya'y bonggang-bongga

    For the past two years as a college student in Lyceum, I haven't had a "normal" sembreak. Normal in a sense that I haven't traveled out of town just to enjoy three weeks of being batugan.Sandali, ang tagal ko nang hindi nagpapaka batugan (paggising ng tanghali, nuod TV, kain, at maliligo na lang dahil kelangan). Where did the sembreak go?

    For the past two weeks, I have been taking dance classes and rehearsing with Neonescas for a dance showcase at Baguio at the end of the month. That is why I avoid to go up and down here in our house (tulad na lang na hindi ko pagkain ng cake dahil ang sarap na ng upo ko). And this extra activity of mine worries my mother dearest because she thinks that my immune system will give up on me anytime. She thinks I'm doing too many things (Aladdin, school, org and now, dance).

    I don't want to stop this. I love the feeling of my body aching because of dancing (and the only way to get rid of the pain is by dancing more), and the fact of going to Baguio because of doing something I love.

    Dancing has been a frustration. As kid, my mom made me take ballet classes because she dreamed of having a ballerina in the family. But I would stop and change ballet schools every now and then. Eh sa ayaw ko e. Pero heto na ako ngayon, binabalikan ang iniwan. I will never declare that I am a great dancer. My-petchay-pie-gulay-wow, mahina na akong matuto ng sayaw at ang medyo nawala na ang koordinasyon ng katawan ko. Pero aaminin ko, naha-high ako sa pagod na nararanasan ko dahil alam ko ang dami kong ginagawa. Eng?

---------------------------------------------

    The plan of me being kidnapped to be drowned with ukay-ukay stores in Baguio was canceled. First, there was the great cough episode of mine. Then Paeng came who decided to target the northern Luzon. Siyempre, ang mga magulang di na pumayag. I wanted to cry when I had to face the reality that Baguio moment will not happen. This would have been a Jod-Isab moment. The one we would savor before we face a great change.

    Sayang, panahon pa naman yun para pag-usapan ng walang katapusan ang mga katarantaduhan namin sa buhay. Sayang talaga.

---------------------------------------------

    I am greatful for having Kuya Santi in my life. I love him for a lot of things. For being there during the break-up episode#1 of my life and for moving on after. I was hurt seeing him hurt because of what-ifs, I-should-haves and the fact that he is friends with the two people involved.
But we both agreed (and somewhat promised) that we don't want something like that to happen again ever. Hee!

    Kuya Santi, my fellow aquarian. I love you so much.

    Tayo na at mag pok pok.... pok.

lovers + friends

    I call Eisa my secret lover. Nakalimutan ko na kung paano ito nagsimula, ang naaalala ko na lang ang theme song namin ay "Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are". Hehehe. I think it started with a talk about the boys in lives that time. it ended up with the two of us calling each other secret lovers.

    I also have My Jodeline My Love so Sweet. We talk about everything. We know each other's class schedule and meet at least for a minute or two in between breaks. Lagi kaming napagkakamalang lovers dahil lagi kaming nag sasabihan ng "I Love You"  plus the fact that we kiss each other on the lips (smack lang).

    Hindi ko inaasahan na ang dalawang taong ito ay magiging matalik na kaibigan.

    Very first memory ko of Eisa ay nung Prep pa kami sa St. Scho. She was this mataray class leader who would raise her eyebrow whenever she would lead the prayer. We would be re-united in Makiling and be cottagemates in our senior year.

    Una kong nakilala si Jod nung 29th Annual GA ng Batingaw. Una, naiinis pa ako sa kanya dahil feeling close agad. Hanggang sa naging magkasama kami sa production at nagksundo kami sa maraming bagay (which includes Harry Potter, our taste of music and our passion for the arts).

    Okay, tama na. I am being sentimental. I shall continue this (or not) when I have the luxury of staying up late.

Ondine...

When I was a Junior in High School, we staged a play by Jean Giraudoux entitled "Ondine". The play is about a water nymph who fell in love with a knight and still pursued him even if she was warned that he will betray him the future. She even made a deal with the sea-king that if he will betray her, a spell would be cast upon her to forget him and he shall die. Of course, the prediction was right. He died of forgetting to breathe.

The songs we sang would pop in my head almost everyday.

(to the tune of Annie Lennox' "No More I Love Yous")
Sumikat na ang araw sa dilim

Tumigil na ang
pag-agos ng luha

Nagbago na ang ihip ng hangin

Ngunit..

Ang isip ko’y iyo pa rin kung

Kaya’t di magawang limutin

Koro:

Wala nang pag-ibig

Ako ma’y iyong limutin

Wala nang pag-ibig

Tumigil ang ikot ng mundo

Sa aking muling paggising

Tuwa,Luha,Saya

Aking yayakapin

Ngunit..

(to the tune of Annie Lennox' "Here Comes the Rain Again")

Damhin ang haplos ng ulan

Ala-ala ng karagatan

Alaa-ala ng dalampasigan

Ipaubaya ng tuwa

Sa hiwaga ng lawa

Daloy ng aming hininga na nag-aanyaya

Halina’t lasapin

Ang ligaya

Angkinin

Ang hiwaga

Halina’t lasapin

At namnamin

Mabuhay Kabalyerong Von Wittenstein Zu Wittenstein!

and so your girlfriend wants to break up with you for the NTH time!!

Pucha, eh di break-an mo na. Magpaparamdam ka lang naman kung makikipag-break na sayo girlfriend mo, katulad ngayon. Ayokong magsalita ng masama tungkol sa girlfriend mo, pero kung linggo-linggo ba naman gustong makipag-break, obvious ba na hindi niya kayang magpatuloy sa relasyon niyo.

Hay..buti at wala akong load. Kaya may dahilan ako para hindi magreply. Nakakasawa ng pagkakaibigan natin kung ganito lang, kung puro tungkol sa girlfriend mo na gustong makipag-break sa iyo.

Puwede ba, alam mo na kung anong gagawin mo. Huwag mo na kaming tanungin.

body.hurts.aray.

    yehey. I get to dance again. Yehey! My body hurts like hell! Yehey! Pucha, out of shape na talaga ako. I have to keep on attending classes and rehearsals with Neonescas if I really want to dance. Mukha akong ewan sa tabi nila. Hehehe.. My talented neighbors.

--------------------------------------

    Mama bought me a beautiful black corset from one of the neighborhood ukay-ukay stores. Since it is October, I'll be able to wear it to a halloween party. Since it is black, maybe I could wear it on some other occasion.

    I don't know what to do with it. Help?

10-foot marijuana plants! so high!!! Oh blessed San Miguel!!!

Troops battle 10-foot marijuana plants

Those Talibans know how to use their marijuana.

-----------------------------------------------

1st sem is officially over!!!! wooohooo! But I still have to go to school for org duties. Buti na lang at di araw-araw. I really need a vanity day. I need to get a haircut and a pedicure, two things I have been planning and postponing for the longest time.

Jod is planning to kidnap me and drown me with Baguio's ukay-ukay. I really want to be kidnapped and spend great time with my kidnapper/s.

-----------------------------------------------

Oh blessed San Miguel indeed. I miss drinking. I miss the feeling of nursing a hangover the next day after a night of drinking. Wait, I don't miss that feeling... Hee!!! Too bad alcohol makes me sleepy, I got it from Papa.

-----------------------------------------------

I should behave if I want to go to Baguio. Mahirap tumakas ng bahay at sabihing nasa (insert friends name here)'s house lang ako na ang katotohanan ay nasa ibang probinsiya na ako. Si Papa pa! Buking nga ako na uminom ako e.

I still live under my parents' roof. I still have to follow their rules. The walls will be banging once I have moved out.

sniff... I love you Manong, my darling brother!!!

    I love my brother as of yesterday. After a tiring day, he surprised me by downloading the season 2  finale of Veronica Mars. I wasn't able to watch it last Wednesday because I was at UP for a shoot of my secret lover's short film. I wasn't able to catch the re-run because we didn't have cable by that time due to bwisit-ka-Typhoon Milenyo. We watched it together, had fun and cried. Hahaha. We were really emotional. I loved it. After watching, I spent the whole night obssessing over Veronica Mars. Carl almost tied my arms to the chair just to prevent me spoiling myself about season 3. Plus all my squeling irritated him. I have never been this obssess with a TV show since... Sarah Ang Munting Prinsesa and Only YOU (nyak!!!). I will be demanding him to download season 3 episodes. I will love him more if he does this. I will be a greater menace if he won't.

Cola consumption linked to weaker bones in women

    Dahil dito babawasan ko na ang aking weekly cola consumption.Let water satisfy my thirst.

----------------------------------------

    Grabe talaga ang mga magnanakaw ngayon namimili ng cellphone na nanakawin. Bad karma yan sa iyo/inyo. Buti na lang.
   
    I need to make a back-up of all my contact in my phonebook, just in case.

----------------------------------------

      Vandals at school can be really interesting.

----------------------------------------

    Punyemas, Biology exam bukas at di ako nag-aaral. Opo, mag-aaral na po...

tag along

at si feona, pa-tag-tag na ngayon! hehehe.

Instructions:
Name ten (10) of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then
pick ten (10) people to do the same. Try to be original and creative
and not to use things that someone else has already used.

Mababaw akong tao... I tend to cherish everything... including those bathroom moments. Hehehe.

Here are things I can think of right now that I really cherish

10.Waking up after twelve hours of sleep.

9. Finishing a good book that really touched me

8. Laughing my ass off

7. Paglalakad sa ilalim ng ulan sa Makati (siyempre hindi sa baha)

6. Chat with Kuya Santi

5. Having a great show

4. Maligo sa ulan

3. Going home after a very tiring day then thinking "wow, ang dami kong nagawa!"

2. Crying and the post-crying laughter

1. Moments of great happiness na tipong abot tenga ang ngiti ko

and I tag you. I know, I'm not following instructions. eh sa ganun ako e. kaya, sige na, gawin mo na!!!

and so I wasn't able to conquer the world

I failed.I finished the paper at 3am of tuesday morning.

I said my goodbyes to kuya santi then slept. I decided not to attend my 11:30 class. di na talaga kakayanin ng powers. nadurog na ang bato.

The next day, I went to school, submitted the paper and finished the class. Talked to jod for a while then went home. Pagdating sa compound, nandun si kuya santi sa bahay nina kuya stephen, chika konti. Sabi nila matulog na daw ako at gumising ng maaga (as in 1am) para magchikahan pa kami ulit hanggang 5am para tuloy-tuloy na ako for my 5:30 am calltime.

I went home (na ilang kembot lang ang layo), checked my mail then slept at around 5:30pm. I woke up at around 9pm because of hunger pangs. I ate dinner,  went online for awhile hoping to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day. Sadly, no one was online (except for manong) to celebrate with. I decided to google my homework then attempted to go to sleep. That was around 10pm.

I watched TV, later it was 1am. Turned off the TV and really tried to go to sleep. Di ko alam kung ano oras na ako nakatulog, siguro 2am na yun.

I got up at 4:30 am, had breakfast#1, took a bath, then left for 5:30am calltime at Greenbelt. Had breakfast#2, did 3 shows, went home, fell asleep, woke up for dinner.

I watched Veronica Mars. Enjoyed it, loved it and got addicted to it (wait, matagal na pala yun).

Matutulog na ako maya-maya. Maliban na lang kung may kagila-gilalas na pangyayaring magaganap...

----------------------------------------------

I'll be taking 17 units next sem. I'm planning to arrange my schedule in a way that I'll be going to school for 2 days only (I'll be at school from 7am to 4pm with a break from 11:30 to 1) and an additional day for PE. kakayanin kaya?

'The Ring' in picture form?

http://jackson22.googlepages.com/home
a really freaky picture. i'm really tired today so i have no plans of at staring this to keep me awake tonight. tell me what you think

dudidudidudidudidoooooo

still...

I am determined to finish the paper today no matter what time i'll be sleeping. I want this to be over. Oh look, it is 2:20 AM!!!

------------------------------------------------

I am addicted to Sling. this is not good!. I hate manong for introducing me to that!!!!

------------------------------------------------

For the first time after almost two years, I opened my tabulas. I have no intentions of reviving that thing. When I read the entries I made there, it was weird. Then I saw how much I have grown or how much I have learned about life.

Then I saw an entry on that date two years ago. That date that I have once dreamed to celebrate for the next how-many-years. Oh well. Ganyan talaga ang buhay. Changes are tough, but sometimes it is right thing to do.

-----------------------------------------------

I shall finish this paper and rule the world!!!! Bwahahahaha..


That's it, I'm losing my mind.

procrastinating on schoolwork

i'm suppose to finish my schoolwork right now. Wala akong gana. bah!

-------------------------------------------------------

I watched a play today at GSP Theater. It was awful. I'm not exaggerating. the story was okay. The direction was crappy. The male lead was an airhead. The audience was gullible.

According to the program, "it is a very touching story of courage, heroism, love, victory and dignity in defeat will surely capture the audience's heart." I wasn't touched at all.

Maybe because of the bad acting. Or maybe because of the lead's attack on crying out his every line. Or maybe because of the way the lead took advantage of his swooning fans by kissing them after the show. WTF!!!!

Stage actors are known for being humble. My-betcha-by-gulay! he was really disgusting.

Enough.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Monday tomorrow. I hate the thought that I have to wake up to go to school. During weekends and Wednesdays, i am more eager to get up because I look forward performing on stage. But on schooldays, tinatamad ako.

So here, I made a list of why I should attend my classes:

• Spanish Class - i'm enjoying how my Spanish teacher murders the Spansh AND English Language. Brutal, I know. But her mistakes keeps me awake in class
• Filipino Class - I like Filipino professor. She is a great stotyteller.
  
• Biology Class - The Bio professor is really good.I actually understand Biology and enjoy new facts about life.
• Statistics - My professor in this class always blames his mistakes on the marker. Weird but funny. plus it hard to understand the lesson once you've missed it.
  
• English Class - I love my English professor. At napaka-bibo ko sa class niya.

Okay, now I shall attempt to return and hopefully finish my schoolwork. NUninuninuninuni

Use
your hair for a good cause! Greenpeace Philippines, in association with
a number of local salons and barber shops, is collecting hair to help
clean up the Guimaras oil spill.

A gallon of oil will adhere to
a little more than a pound of hair in just two minutes. The best part
is, the hair can be wrung out and reused.

Here's a CNN story on
Phil McCrory, an ingenuous US hairdresser who came up with the
solution. TV Patrol ran a similar feature on local efforts that use
collected human hair to respond to the recent marine catastrophe.

Here's how you can pitch in:
1) GET YOUR HAIR CUT! All branches of Reyes Haircutters and Azta Urban Salon
(there's one on Katipunan and on Metrowalk) are collection centers for
the Greenpeace hair drive, so it might be more convenient if you get
your hair done at those places.

2) Go to your neighborhood barber or hairdresser and inform them of the campaign. They can bring their hair leftovers to any Reyes Haircutters or Azta branches. OR you can take the initiative and bring them there yourself.

Here's the contact info:
Reyes Haircutters main branch (Anonas) - 913 6250 (look for Alex)
Azta Urban Salon Katipunan - 928 4208 (open from 10am-10pm Mondays to Sundays.)

    What i like about Lyceum is its location. You see, i love B&W pictures especially the really old ones. i want to live in an old house or at least stay there for a few days. Intramuros is almost heaven to me. i enjoy walking on those cobble-stoned streets wonder how people used to live their life. i think this is one of a few reasons that convinces to go to school in the morning.

    But i hate my classmates in english! i love my professor. she's really fun and great and open minded and really good. pero lecheng mga kaklase ko. maingay na nga, wala pang matinong masabi, mayayabang pa. heto pa, ang groupmates ko, leche din. parang hindi sila uusad kung wala ako. may halitosis pa ang isa! yack, tapos lagi pa siyang tumatabi sa akin, kasi feeling niya close kami. oh please help me!

I want to ride a Moto jeep

    Yung jeep na may body sticker ng Motorola, yun yung tinatawag kong Moto jeep. there are several Moto jeeps on the pasay-ayala route. yet, i haven't been able to ride one.

    Habang naglalakad pauntang sakayan papuntang Makati, may nakita akong gumagawa ng tombstone since maraming death-related businesses around libertad. yun nga, paang ang lungkot ng ginagawa niya. pero di ba mas nakakalungkot kung yung taong gingawan niya ay minamahal niya?

    I mean how do people who work in that kind of business deal with death of someone they know. I'm assuming manhid na sila sa mga iyakan ng mga taong namatayan. pero paano kung sila yung namatayan?

--------------------------------

    there's a family that sleeps in front of a pawnshop at libertad at night. it consists of a mother,father and two children. when i first saw them, all that the youngest could do was roll on the cold floor. now, he/she can sit up.

    kanina, habang pauwi, si mother naupo, nagpapaypay. pagsilip ko sa kanilang "bakod" buntis siya. nakakalungkot na ganun na ang sitwasyon nila tapos madadagdagan pa ang mga kailangan nilang pakainin.

someone stole his bread and santiness

here's the thing, i get obsessed in googling things especially when i can't find them. weird. let me quote our former maid "yung di makita laging hinahanap. yung nandyan ayaw"


having fun now that the show has opened. i shall cherish every moment of saying my line "someone stole his bread" and manipulating the lamp.hehehe. i love the adrenaline rush. woohooo. i'm addicted to it!!


i have no MTh 11:30am class until next week. my Spanish professor had a surgery to remove her cataract. hooray for me. i get to sleep more.


may sapak ang internet namin. lagi na lang ako biglang na disconnect. hay...


i need to get new headshots. and update my resume. and clean my bed. plus my table and cabinet.... someday. sometime.


how i love my chats with kuya santi. parang ang sarap gawing script sa play/tv.
Kris Obcena: i have a good feeling about this,,,pero kung mali ako at gago siya at gagaguhin ka niya ay makakatikim siya ng black eye mula sa bakla..

kuya santi is a good soul. full of wisdom yet always in style.

Kris Obcena: i know you won't...but I hope his timing is constantly perfect..Kilala kita, you're a patient girl and you wouldn't mind waiting it out for a guy whom you think is worth the wait..
Kris Obcena: There is so much i need to learn about your patience...
Kris Obcena: Pareho tayong aquarius pero hindi ko alam kung san mo nakukuha yung pasensya mo sa pag-ibig..
          -i realized that patience has become my virtue. but still, i don't have patience for people who are two hours late and those who wants me to make a move first when its them who has to start the dice rolling.

You Are Best Described By...

Under the Wave Off Kanagawa By Katsushika Hokusai

What Famous Work of Art Are You?

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

BOOK MEME
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5.
Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your
closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is
closest.
6. Tag three people:

"If that was you, Twoflower, I knew it was you all along," said Rincewind. his voice sounded suddenly clear and very alone in the gathering dusk.
Rincewind remembered the only fact he knew for sure about trolls, which was that they turned to stone when exposed to sunlight, so that anyone who employed trolls to work durig daylight had to spend a fortune in barrier cream.

from page 123 of Terry Pratchett's "The Light Fantastic"

i haven't read this book and i have no idea what it is all about, i just it got from carl's table which is nearest to the computer.

i tag you who's reading this right now. hehehe.

burping and farting

i'm having a bad case of kabag. i've been burping like there's no tomorrow since i sat in front of this computer. if 1 burp = 100,000 pesos, i would have been a millionaire. eh kaso hindi.


to my avid fans (kapal ng mukha), Aladdin Jr. of Repertory's Children Theater will open tomorrow at 10:30am, August 12.

yes! 10:30am! which means our calltime is usually at 8:00am. buti na lang i live 20mins away minus traffic. but i'm making a habit of being early. naks. sana nagagawa ko din yun sa school.

i saw our program after the show. and hey! my headshot looks GOOD!!! and i'd like to thank my dearest father for my write-up. hehehe.

back to burping, my brother and i are having burping duet right now. he burps, i burp. so fun. and this is how we were brought up.


i asked carl about my profile pic in my friendster account. according to him its bad because people would think that i'm ala lindsay lohan. since when do i care about what people think? since when do i care about what manong thinks? i love you manong!

i like the picture. i like how it was taken, the composition and all that artsy factors. hehehe. i'm artist (accent on the second sylLAble). ahahahaha.


EDIT: carl tripped due to stupidity. twice. first with the computer table, then with the electric fan. it was PRICELESS!!!!

a lazy sunday

    last wednesday, after my divisoria shopping spree with mama, we went to my eye doctor who i've wanting to visit for a long time.
    she said, my eyes were okay EXCEPT my eye muscles are weakening that causes my headaches and blurry vision when reading. the result: i have to wear eyeglasses when i read or use the computer.
    thursday came. i didn't go to school since last monday, i asked all three professors to excuse me from classes with the reason that i am needed at work (which is true!) thanks to my charm and the fact that i attend classes regularly, they allowed me to be absent in class plus, take makeup quizzes.
    back to the thursday story, mama and i went to quaipo to get me a pair of glasses. the attendant immediately gave the pink frame. hehehe. it is so adorable. so... i got a pair of glasses with pink frames. but you won't see walking around wearing it. because it is for reading.

    my schedule is full of dress rehearsals for repertory for this week. once we open, i'm hoping and praying that my schedule will be free somehow.

    about my divisoria shopping spree
     i bought a pair of jeans, skirt, a pair of flat shoes, a pair of high heels, a bolero, a bag, 6 shirts of different colors.

    o siya dito na muna... wala na akong maisip

one down.

yehey. tapos na ang isang production.
to those who weren't able catch "Rite of Passage" malas niyo. hehe. kidding. i'll miss acey, te di, te shing, nazer, rosswil, kuya noel, bryan, tita louie, angel, te mae, ccp and sir herbie. and of course, that jungle outfit. ahahahahahaha.
mga landian moments and all that pizzaz.

just in time, aladdin jr. will be opening on august 12. buti na lang tapos na ang prelims kaya hindi sabay sa production week.

i'm thinking of curling my hair sometime. trip lang. for a dfferent look.



i am missing a lot of people right now...

rain, classes, exams, rehearsals.

rain was pouring hard for the past five days. a good reason to wear trench coats and sweaters that were never suitable with manila's climate.

i missed wearing my trench coat. i rarely find an occassion to wear it. since batute is really cold and its been raining cats and dogs, i get to wear it without looking overdressed of some sort.


thanks to the rain, classes were cancelled last monday and tuesday. buti na lang talaga.

monday: we had a pictorial for rep. i was suppose to have a sapnish and bio exam. due to the cancellation of classes, i get to save my absences for other occassions. plus i wasn't prepared for bio.

tuesday: suppose to have an exam in statistics. the problem: i left my book in the locker, meaning i can't do any form of review. crapness! i'd like to thank once again the typhoon for being the cause of the suspension of classes.


august is fast approaching. aladdin rehearsals are now moved to greenbelt1. ergo, my commuting route is much easier! yehey!
our humor has gotten shallow. from "stopstiefs" to choreographies for the curtain call, pagtatawanan namin. ahahahaha.

by the way, last weekend of Ars Poetica and Rite of Passage at Tanghalang Huseng Batute, CCP!
july 29 & 30 @3pm

don't miss it. sayang naman!

i'm addicted to it

binyag

wala lang, nasa mood lang akong magbinyag ng blog. hehe.

today's planned schedule:

• pay tuition at 1:30 then chat with jod til 2:30
• go to maan's house at 3:00 tambay til 4:30
• attend TP rehearsal at 5:00

today's actual happenings:
       I arrived at school around 1:45. i lined up to pay my tuition and then, i received a message about conflicts in my RP schedule. naloka ako. ang masaklap pa, naubos ang load ko. at sinundan pa ng battery. talaga nga naman.

    After paying, i decided to go home. At least sa bahay, libre ang tawag. I called  people concerned  about the schedule conflict, then texted jod  for my no-show. I recived a message from maan that she's not home. buti na lang at hindi ako natuloy.

    i decided to try to curl my hair on my own. nope, i can't do it alone. i really need to ask help. then, in a hurried manner, i applied red nail polish to see if it will work for the play. Ang pangit talaga ng pagkalagay ko.

    i left for rehearsals at 4:30. I arrived at my destination exactly 5:00. yehey!!!

    we had a run-through. we were all freezing. then i realized, i had the most costume change. tindi!

    I have an exam tomorrow. goodluck to me. i haven't even finished writing my reviewer.

THE BEST OF VIRGIN LABFEST 1: ARS POETICA AND RITE OF PASSAGE

Start:	Jul 21, '06 2:00p

Location:	Tanghalang Huseng Batute, CCP

Eugene Evasco and Chris Martinez’
ARS POETICA

Direction: Arlo de Guzman
Featuring: Soliman Cruz
Ony de Leon
Cris Pasturan

Two poets: One is the teacher, consummate and
antiquated. The other is the student, bold and
brilliant. One night, they search for the muses. As
the master and protégé try to capture the elusive
words, their rivalry threatens to drown them in a
torrent of suppressed envy. Who will emerge the
victor? Or will their hunger for the ultimate honor of
literary nobility drive them to madness?


Glenn Mas’
RITE OF PASSAGE

Direction: J. William Herbert Sigmund Go
Featuring: Acey Bryle Aguilar, Bryan Correa,
Nazer Salcedo, Sheenly Gener,
Rosswil Hilario, Isabelle Martinez,
Noel Taylo, Dianne Torres

Set in a quiet barrio in Antique, the play opens
with a painful ritual that propels its reluctant
protagonist into manhood. As he is seduced by
the promised pleasures of sex, he bravely
confronts his past in a bid to take control of his
future, and the truth can be as overwhelming as
the lurid images of scantily-clothed women in
magazines.
