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.
