Magpipinsan.

Because I couldn't get *all* of my cousins to hold still and be in one place for at least a minute for one measly picture, the so-called 'tres marias' of the Santos clan are the only ones that could be seen here. (Translation: the three of us were the only ones game and vain enough to pose in front of the camera). Oh well, if everybody was to be in one photo, we wouldn't fit anyway. Heh.

Walking.

Wala lang. Nakakaliw noh? Hehe.



I can't remember where I got this eh. Basta, ang galing ng gumawa nito, whoever he or she is. Astig!

Di pa natutulog.

Wala lang. Wala palang epekto sakin ang mga pinagkkwento ko kanina. Di pa ako natutulog. Hay. Eto, kachat ko si Mary at kahit maluluwa na mata ko sa pagsusurf-surf ng kung anu-ano, di ko magawang iwan ang PC...para tumulala nnman sa kama ko at mag-isip ng kung anu-ano.

Nga pala, I have to share this.. di ko kakilala ang sumulat nito or anything, pero sobrang relate-ever kasi sa mga sinulat nya. Hay. And I'm sure marami ring makaka-relate dito. Siyempre from Peyups.com yan. =)

Hmm. Sleep na nga ako.

Balentayns.

I've always been apathetic towards Valentine's Day. Whether or not my so-called 'love life' was okay, I just didn't care that much about this day. No bitter feelings whatsoever. Talaga!

I was talking with JR yesterday.. and only listened with half an ear when she was talking about how tomorrow (er.. today) was supposed to be a 'day of mourning'. I remember just shrugging it off.. I don't have a date this year, but I'm not really that bummed about it. I just didn't care.

But then..

5 p.m. -- I had my wake up call. Literally. Figuratively. Whatsoever. And now everything has changed.

She was right, after all. Today is a day of mourning.

Aloha..oy. =)

Kuwaderno Reloaded.

Hmm. I can't decide.

Should I offer some sort of explanation for the absence of any new posts since... (checks last update)... *gasp!* October 2004?!... or should I just continue blogging and pretend like nothing happened?
[Translation: Should I be all nice, boring, and considerate to the readers of this blog and give all the sordid details of what went on in this big joke that I call life, that made me unable to post for the last few months? Or should I be all enigmatic and mysterious and leave everything to the readers' imagination? *cue smokey lights and misty glow*]

Hmm. Since I'm one of those people who believe in the gray area between the proverbial black and white, I guess I'll trudge the 'safe' middle path. I therefore state that..... I've been through some rough times, and I didn't think I could handle writing about them. In addition to that, I've been really, really, really busy.

So there. It's 2005 (gosh! I feel old! Heh.), it's a new term (at least for my schoolmates), and I'm in the mood for some bloggin' fun. =)

Here's to '05, and here's to another shot at a better life! Cheers!

~ Something I read in a 5th grade classroom I visited a while ago: The essence of life is the art of living it. ~

~ Sharing: I went shopping today, masyado kong naappreciate ang difference ng presyong $$$ sa presyong Php. Kaya nag-enjoy akong mamili. ~

~ Wala na akong jet lag. (Yup, galing po ako ng States. Nung Sunday ako dumating.) Nakita ko si Mary sa mall kanina. Saya! So weird nanaman na may 'collision' ang aking mga mundo. Nakasama ko in one place ang ilang Pidabs friends ko at isang Peyups close friend. Kahapon lang, ay hinde, nung isang araw pala, na-meet na finally ni JR si Ate Ella. Wala lang. Weird ang pakiramdam. Hehe. Nung maliit ako, ayoko nung PTC ek-ek (Parent-Teacher Conference) at iba pang school activities/affairs na kakailanganin pumunta ng pamilya ko sa school. Kasi ayokong nagkakatagpo yung dalawang magkaiba kong mundo - yung sa bahay at yung sa school. Pero siyempre iba naman yun. Hehe. Shinare ko lang. Eto na lang. Naalala ko tuloy ang naimagine ko before... na what if nasa iisang place lahat ng mga mahal ko sa buhay at yung mga people na closest to me...? Pero I'll write about that some other time na lang. ~

~ Miss ko na talaga si Che. Iba talaga ang feeling ngayong naranasan ko na ulit na makasama siya. Ang hirap tuloy ngayong hindi nanaman kami magkikita. Hay. Basta. ~

~ Balik na ko sa sirkulasyon ng mga forwarded messages (well, Sun kasi eh..). Minsan nakakabwiset, minsan nakakaaliw. Comme ci, comme ca. Parang buhay ko. Hehe. ~

~ New look ang friendster. Hindi na Beta. Hindi super "wow", pero maganda naman. Mejo malinis na ang interface at kahit simple lang, eye-candy. ~

~ Sa wakas! Ang mga pasalubong ay unti-unti ko nang naipapamigay. Nabawasan na ang kalat sa kwarto ko (although hindi pa completely). ~

~ Si Chloe ay tinatawag ko na ngayon na 'Bilog'. Hehe. Nakakagigil! Nagkalaman na siya sa wakas, at super daldal na niya. Haaay. ~

~ Ang pangit ng sched ko this sem. Argh. AAARGGGHHH. Pero wala na kong magagawa, kaya I'll make the most out of it na lang. ~

~ Tama na. Matutulog na ko. May pasok nga pala ako tomorrow. ~

Metapora.

Hinihintay ang pagdating ng panahon na malamig ang simoy ng hangin. Pinagmamasdan ang paligid, nagbabakasakaling hindi na nagtatago ang mga talang sinasabit sa mga bintana. Nakikiramdam, naghahanap ng tinig ng mga batang nag-iikot-ikot, may dalang mga latang lalagyan ng barya. Bumabangon ng maaga, inaabangan ang pagtunog ng kampanang nagtatawag sa mga may nais hilingin. Tinitingala ang langit, pinapanood ang pagpapalitan ng liwanag at dilim -- pinagdadasal na sana makisabay ito sa pagkurap ng aking mga mata.

Yahoo! (pun intended)

Sa wakas! May Gmail na ko! Waaahhh... Antagal-tagal ko nang naghahanap ng makakapagbigay sakin ng invitation for this. Thank God for fellow shipper and CSI fanatic, Ann! Yahoooo!

Kaya everyone, dito niyo na ko i-email ha... With 1GB storage, never na ko magdedelete ng kahit anong message... Hay! Saya. (pero siyempre buhay na buhay parin ang Yahoo! account ko. Hehe.)

Trip.

I went on a trip down memory lane, both literally and figuratively.

My guy bestfriend Niel had this "project" (bawal muna sabihin... saka na lang... hehe.. ;-p) that involved a video camera, his car, our old batchmates, and a whole lot of memories.

Anyway, I was his companion for today, so I had the chance to allow myself to be the senti and corny person that I am. Nagpunta kami sa place kung saan kami nag-Senior prom, dun sa may Capitol Hills... Pero hindi na ko bumaba ng kotse, medyo marami kasing tao, eh para makuhanan ni Niel ng maayos yung loob, mag-isa na lang siya para hindi na mapansin masyado. Tapos pumunta kaming AFP Theater, at ang swerte namin kasi hanggang sa mismong loob na loob eh nakapasok kami. Nag-enjoy akong magtatatakbo sa mga aisle, habang kumukuha ng footage si pards. Doon na rin niya ko kinuhanan ng "interview". Pagkatapos sa theater, nag-ikot-ikot kami ng AFP kasi di namin maalala kung saan naganap yung Junior Prom namin... Basta ang alam lang namin, banda doon lang din. Maya-maya, nakita rin namin... Weird kasi katabi lang pala nung theater, umikot lang kami at napalayo. Haha. Hindi ito pang-Amazing Race! Ayun, napasok din namin yung place, at nagkaroon ng konting glimpse nung hall kung san kami ng-prom. (Take note, kaming dalawa yung emcees nung gabing yon! hehehe...) Eion. Masaya... Kasi nakapag-reminisce ako; akala ko hindi na ko mabibigyan ng chance na makita ulit ang mga lugar na 'yon. Nakakaaliw yung feeling sa loob-loob mo kapag nabibisita mo yung lugar kung saan naganap ang mga magagandang memories nung High School, kasi kahit parang ang tagal na nun, eh parang nagkakaroon ka ng reality check na --uy-- totoo nga palang naganap lahat ng 'yon, at hindi panaginip lang. After nga pala nun, hinatid na rin niya ko sa bahay. Nagka-migraine nga ako pagdating ko eh. Ewan ko ba kung bakit. Hehe.

I mentioned the Amazing Race kanina; yung episode ngayon eh yung nandito sila sa 'Pinas. Enjoy! Hahaha... Maganda yung epi, hindi dahil biased ako pero dahil sobrang nakaka-tense talaga lahat ng nangyari, and hanggang sa last minute eh hindi ko mahulaan kung ano yung mangyayari.

Ayun. Hanggang dito na muna at nagugutom nanaman ako. Hehe.

Pards at work!

A poem.

Courtesy of B.

Love's Philosophy
Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou are not kissing me?

Yestahday.

I adore my little cousin Chloe, but I am slowly edging towards the brink of insanity, (no)thanks to all those Barney videos that she insists on playing over and over… and over. Allow me to quote my ever-reliable bishpren Jasmine’s parody of one of the most popular songs of that sickeningly cheerful dinosaur, “I hate you… You hate me… Let’s get together and kill Barney!” (Cue devilish soap opera kontrabida laugh…)

I don’t know why that totally random piece of information had to seep through my idly typing fingers (one that somewhat shows the expertly hidden sadist part of me, even). Forgive me; I’m just so incredibly annoyed. Right now, I’m turning the volume up on my headphones to drown out that overgrown purple mascot’s nauseating laugh.

Enough about that.

Yesterday Jasmine and I watched The Notebook. We’ve both read the novel back in high school, but we’ve already forgotten most of the story, so we simply had to see the film. So what can I say about the movie? One word (is it even a word?): *sob*. Damn. It was cheesy, yes, at times, but... we couldn't help but blubber throughout the whole thing. At enjoy na enjoy naman kaming humagulhol, noh. Masarap titigan si Ryan Gosling eh. Hehe.

We were the most wet creatures in the moviehouse; aside from all the crying, we both forgot to bring our umbrellas and ended up walking in the rain from the MRT Station to the mall. Almost every part of us was dripping (like my hair) and soggy (like her socks! Eeeewww...). Oh, well.

My favorite part of the day? We were eating at Magoo's, talking about our good friends David and Krista (who I had the fortune to catch up with through text the other night), when I had the silliest of urges to do a Diether, to which we had a really good laugh over. (Y'know, the twisting pizza thing...) Babaw, noh? Wala lang. Talagang sa little things ako nasisiyahan eh. :)

When I got home, Mary called. We talked 'til after midnight, and the reason that I am mentioning this here is because I wanted to share my facial expression for the whole duration of our conversation. Ready? Drum roll, please......: O_O;

Yes, those two O's were my eyes, the "_" my mouth, and the ";" is cold sweat. Haha. Yun lang.

Kwento lang.

Wala ako sa mood na magmuni-muni tungkol sa pinagmulan ng mundo ngayong araw na 'to, kaya magkukuwento na lang ako. :-)

Natitigan ko nanaman si Oble kahapon. Nasa Quezon Hall kasi ako para panoorin at suportahan si Mary at Marivic sa recital nila (Kontra Gapi). Ang saya, bilib na bilib ako sa kanila. Proud na proud ako sa mga kaibigan ko -- shempre, ang hirap din ng praktis nila noh, matagal-tagal na rin nilang pinaghahandaan 'to eh. Natutuwa rin ako kay Diokno, Jairus at yung isang classmate ko dati sa Archaeo at Chem na tumugtog din, at nagulantang sa dati kong kaklase sa Math 100 noong sumayaw siya ng Ati-atihan (dahil napakatahimik niya sa klase dati at parang halos hindi gumagalaw). Haha... :p Sa wakas ay nakilala ko na rin nga pala sa personal si Upton na kaibigan ni Mary.

Nakausap ko si Niel, at natuwa ako dahil kahit madalas ko siyang nakakausap lately, mas matagal-tagal ko siyang nakadaldalan kagabi. Miss ko na rin 'yang pards ko eh. Minsan kasi iba pa rin ang samahan 'pag tipong mga batang paslit pa lang kayo eh magkakilala na.

Nga pala, Cheering Competition na bukas! God bless sa UP Pep Squad! UP Fight! :)

Kakornihan.

Sobrang stressed ako nitong dalawang huling araw. Ayoko nga ikwento dito kung ano ang nangyari; in denial pa rin ako eh. Basta ok na ngayon, hindi ko na masyado pinobroblema. Hihintay ko na lang ang Sept. 20. *buntong hininga*

Pero.

Bakit kaya ganun? Ang sama-sama ng araw ko eh. Pagod ako, magulo ang utak ko, ang dami kong iniisip na kung pwede sana eh ayoko nang isipin.

Pero.
