One Year

i looked at my dishevelled no-strings attached snickers and told myself, at least there's still a life i can go back to. the shine, the polish, the grandeur of the country's business heart overwhelmed me, that the mere sight of humble blue shoes brought me joy and lifted my spirits.

i like being young. i love staying innocent. it is my youthful innocence that makes all the very big things easier to grasp for me...

tomorrow is another day. an exam, a report-in-progress, a quiz-in-waiting. im back to the real world.

*war of hearts and minds - bamboo...*

*where'd you go - fort minor*

*ironic - alanis morissette*

hmm, humble music.

-the bright light ahead...-

Bloody February

tsk.

im super stressed. monday pa lang bukas. huff... *war of hearts and minds* im sad. i dont think my acads is reciprocating the effort im giving it. like tin, ayoko na din buksan ung planner ko. baka mabaliw din ako.

tsk.

-c'mon c'mon..-

Veo Cam

SPIDERBOT!

sinister...


and he hangs around everywhere! wickeed...

...

ooooh, new additions to my slipper collection:


...

i wanna shop for clothes!

i hope mum buys me clothes tomorrow...

Internship Hunt

ooof...

oily is the best word to describe the internship hunt i had today. your face basically becomes an oil well as you scour for a good internship in a sea of application forms, brochures, and people wearing crispy business attires.

hay. sometimes, when i look at my situation from a distance, i see a person that's very different from who i was a long time ago. i never imagined id be engaging in business. i always imagined myself going around hospital corridors, donning the most comfortable green scrubs, always ready for a medical emergency. now everything's changed, and even if my previous dreams have finally come to its closing chapter, im happy nevertheless. i may not be born to be a business man, but everything can be learned, right?

i just want an job that pays, that's all.

anyways, im really wishing this prestigious institution takes me in as their intern. ive been through their website yesterday, and im almost drooling upon the fact that it is a very prestigious institution, and i may actually have a chance to work with them this summer, and afterwards, i may be able put all the experience i gained from it in three lines on my new resume.

*crosses fingers*

internship please..

oooof, too many papers to write. better start now.

-sayang sana nag-aral na din ako ng german...-

Wow Family

cool.

technology is so great. we chatted with our relatives in the states over ym, you know with the webcam and all. mas ok pala tumawag pag sa ym kasi walang lag. unlike pag sa landline talaga, may lag, parang ung sa news...?? do you get my drift. anyways. stig.

wow, hindi pa rin nagbabago mga ichura nila... cool.

i see my horizons expanding... my cousin sort of promised me that if nobody gets me for internship, she'll hire me dun sa work nya sa makati. the problem is mukhang hindi ko magugustuhan ung work dun, pero i'll try.

mum was telling our kin that after i graduate college, susunod na kami lumipad to the states at dun na kami magttrabaho.. haha. well sana nga.

eh i mean, sana pala wag muna.

eh...?

huh, oh no, parang i dont want to leave. huh? (erg, what am i thinking?)

ha?

...

-ils me manquent-

Tres Fatigant

i dont wanna do anything. can i just lie down til forever?

geezers, that's only an exam, a quiz, and a debate and im passed out. if there's anything i could do to forestall next week from coming, god, id even pay. my body is punishing me because i didnt give it enough time to recuperate, i just tossed one academic hurdle after another without getting me some sleep so.. here i am, sore and lightheaded.

damn my phone's still bugged. how am i supposed to call glorietta and greenbelt now? fucking logistics. no, fucking bayantel, they've got the stupidest employees ever. they have to do something to get my phone working or else... i resort to drastic measures.

huff. gotta be happy. life's too short to be thinking about problems. it's good how a smile can erase everything that's bad.

...

say you have pumpkin tomatoes, a can of chicken chunks in oil, iceberg lettuce, a whip of sweet sandwich spread, and wheat bread... if you toss them together, what have you got???

a scrumptious chicken sandwich!

fresh and healthy, it's a complete meal. add a bottle of juice and you're ready to go (only i dont drink juice that much, makes my tummy cringe...)

you should try chicken sandwich a la kimoy and you'll get to savor a taste of heaven.

you want to?? *wink*

-Mmmmmmm...-

Torrent's Low-techiness

what's with me? ive been waiting for this movie to finish downloading off bittorrent, eventhough it says in the speed display that it'd take 38 days... yeah more than a month before it finishes downloading. ok, why did they invent this torrent technology thing anyway? video city's just 30 seconds away.

debate for public econ class this afternoon sucked. god i hate debates. i just shrink at the thought that someone's grudging on your ideas. that they're finding loopholes on every thing you say. not to mention that we have four debaters in class... gives me jitters. and i have not prepared, coz we had this power-exam for environmental economics, and a stupid-exam for history, so wasn't able to research about our stand. anyways i hope there'd be no more debates in the future.

man. i hate waiting for doom. have i told you that french twelve is done by tuesday? but the only thing to get it real done is to do this exam which not one in my class is finely prepared for (ok so there i acers in class and im not one of them and im bitter...) i totally suck at french these days. well i cant blame myself. let's just say school is getting on the way of my education. figure.

my heart stopped twice this afternoon. it's a real scare, coz ive been eating too much unhealthy food lately. this addiction for bread pan isn't making me any better. and why is coffee getting even more delicious? deng must watch caffeine level.

i looked at myself in the mirror today, and guess what, no improvement. i still look like the same old ghastly monster with gaping eye bags and muscle-less high set cheek bones. you know when they say if you have high cheek bones, you probably have good bone structure? well, it's just bone structure. eat the wrong food and the high cheek bones would simply be stupid cones positioned on both sides of your nose to make you look like an anorexic clown.

well whatever. i just thought it would pay if you looked good so that there'd be a higher probability that your professors would remember you. ok not that im trying to impress my professors, but i certainly think im not connecting with my economic history professor that well. this morning i caught myself cursing her for her being a slave driver. where is the happiness there? my new year's resolution is to be happy despite adversity. so im not letting the burden of one economics elective impede my way to a better life with higher levels of endorphine.

i really am falling in love.

with chunky chicken sandwich. god.

tomorrow's lipa city town fiesta and im not going. the big exam on monday is grounding me. too bad. there would've been lots of food there. my mum used to celebrate more during fiestas than during christmas eve or new year. too bad cant come. the food would've filled in all our inuman sessions this month as pulutan. oh well.

hey. no gimik today. sad.

*dibidi marathon-ing: tree hill season two...*

-just a thought, people from negros really have smiling faces...-

haay..

one down, more to go.

totoo nga ang mga haka-haka. sir arcenas' exams will blow your mind away. how do people get high grades in environmental economics when they get exams like the one i just had? so freakin long, so freakin out of "memorize" perspective. the only thing you can get around it is to read every word of the book, and be sure that you'd remember all of them when he hands down the five page exam.

anyhows. i did my part. i studied. if i dont pass the exam, then this life is really unfair.

oh, and we have to consider the healing wounds i have in my hand... yup, i can hardly write with all the bandage on. and have i already told you that it was an essay exam?

let's see. tomorrow is debate day for econ151, then an open-book quiz for history... then on monday, i'll have a big exam for french, then on tuesday, we'll have a graded recitation, again for history. the week next week would be my econ151 midterms week, as well as my first exam for geology...

what can i say.

things haven't even started yet, and im already burned out. brrrr... when could i possibly be able to shop for clothes with a schedule as hectic as this? and the iPod... ugh, ok i've been making lines of self-appreciation to my mum just so she would be convinced to buy me the apple haveyou now instead of wait for the check from pryce educational plans. ive practically buffed me up in unos just so she would be convinced that i might deserve a reward. it's just that im wanting... no, im YEARNING to have an iPod. i dunno why. maybe the idea that i still do not have a flash disk is nagging on my now more than ever, and i really want an mp3 player. my obsession is reaching uncontrollable levels.

anyways, have to wait.

step up was nice. jenna dewan is hot tssss and i didnt know channing tatum could dance. hoh well. give me more movies to download...

whadelse.

hmmm... i miss my rabbit. did you know that i once had a rabbit, and he was so cute and cuddly when we bought him.. so white.. this rabbit i had once, i called him "rabbit" coz i thought that was kind of a cool name for a rabbit. he's so calm, he doesn't jump around and doesn't make a fool out of himself. he's nice and doesn't bite.

only he's gone now. my lumang best-friend's dog, bamboo, ate him.

i remember that morning, i woke up and found his cage open, and there was blood everywhere. d'oh. *tears*

hmmm... i want a rabbit.

-i'll call him hare this time.-

Exam Tomorrow

rooarr.

one more chapter to gooooo. im so burned out. cant continue like this for one more hour... i mean when was the last time i used my short-term memory banks properly? high school. ugh. glutaphos! i need you. now.

good thing, in this life, we have delicious and healthy chunky chicken sandwiches waiting for you two blocks away from here.

one more chapter... one more sandwich.. *tears...*

hoh well. better be happy about it.

mum said she already found a buyer for my computer. she's selling it for.. guess how much... twenty thousand..! haha! o di ba, ang galing. who would have ever thought a desktop would sell for twenty thousand pesos, now that it was used for more than one and a half years??? haha.

well, if i was to ask i would've sold at that expensive a price, because it's been like my companion for the longest time, and besides, i've upgraded it's RAM and it has two cd-rom drives, one of which is a combo-drive... and the monitor has hardly been used because we just bought it like two months ago. and the sentimental value.. it's weird that i realize, i actually keep sentimental values. oh well...

but but but, mum is keeping the money. she says if i really wanted to have an iPod, id have to wait til she gets the check from pryce educational plans... we get something like ten thousand yata every semester, un na lang daw gamitin ko for buying things. oh well, iPod would have to wait.

im tiiiiired. erk. massage!

huff. hey! nagmura ang presyo ng pilot signpens sa national bookstore! bakit kaya...?

that's a good thing for me. i never got used to going around school with a ballpoint pen. i always had a signpen of some kind. they're easier to write with. and they write thicker letters than BPpens, so whenever people say my penmanship is scribbly, id just say, "the signpen is leaking too much ink... i think i bought the wrong point... i really have good penmanship..." hihi.

hmmm...

...

lamon lang ng lamon. the good thing with being an ectomorph is you can eat as much as you can without having to compromise your ability to fit into clothes. although i could entertain the fancy of not fitting in a pair of jeans. what's the experience like?

-i hear the drums beating-

Abedi Abedi

geezers, we have an exam tomorrow for econ172, and it's already 5:41pm, im still in the middle of chapter three. i wonder how id be able to cram the remaining two and a half chapters to the hours left before sleeping time. 12... must sleep by 12. i dont wanna be a walking zombie tomorrow.

thing is my pace of studying is very slow. ive started studying since tuesday and ive only managed to finish up to chapter two by noon today. how's that for pacing?

ok, must think of the reward that lies ahead. no geol tomorrow, mum might buy me an ipod (still hoping), i might be able to shop for new clothes (still still hoping grr...), i have finished downloading a movie from bittorrent (yey!), food lots of food since it's lipa city's fiesta on saturday... huhu, must finish studying!!

brrr... i must remember that my current econ average is 2.55... .05 short of the standard. erg, isa pa kong hilaw na economista!!

ok, will go back to study. ooohhh food...

-munch-

Bread Panning

okay sa sobrang kapagudan ko, i went home early because im feeling sleepy and my heart is still slightly palpitating due to the two cups of coffee i downed this morning. i wont do it again ever. i hate palpitations, di ka mapakali. basta weird. when we were having econ172 i can hardly focus on sir arcenas' face because my knees were shaking, and my heart is at my throat. haay. too much coffee is bad, unless you are christine who has the thickest layer of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the circle. (PS. Smooth ER is that part of the cell that is responsible for detoxifying foreign substances such as caffeine and alcohol in the bloodstream. la lang. we learn something new today.)

so ayun pagdating ko sa bahay direcho sa mats tapos tulog. i woke up two and a half hours later.

...

oh no. i have this really weird feeling inside... i feel that, i feel like im falling for.. for...

bread pan.

...

ang shhharap ng bread pan! nkaaddict. yurmmm. i went to rustans after i took a nap. bought like ten packs of bread pan. yehey!

then i went watsons to buy the moisturizer that danazart told me to buy. ang weird, everytime i visit watsons i feel like im getting a headache because of all the bottles and lah... tas puro soaps at shampoos at deodorants.. nakakahilo. well... it's a girl's world. why am i not surprised.?

bumili na din ako ng two boxes of checker strips for my wounds. ang tagal gumaling nung coterized wounds ko. dalawa lang ibig sabhin nyan: one, baka sobrang taas ng blood sugar ko kaya mabagal ung pagheal, or baka mababa ang level ko ng vitamin K... tsk... iniways.

then i went to kfc to buy my dinner. mas masarap ang chicken fillet original kesa sa chicken fillet crunch la lang.

erg.. laki na naman ng nagastos ko today. tsk. mamumura na ko ng nanay ko nito.

...

WOW!

ang bilis mgdownload ng limewire! mga two minutes lang tapos na idownload ung song! cool... dati when i was using dial-up, mga thirty minutes isang song lang. now two minutes lang! ooohh, download galore. hmmm, i should've bought an iPod today..

bukas na lang.

WHOA!

sabi nung system tray: "BAYANTEL SKY DSL... SPEED: 100 MBps"

whoaw...

parang yesterday 10 MBps lang to ah.. hmmm... anomalous.

...

WOW! bibi is running for aiesec office! she's running for president! ooohh, ayen big-time. well go! ayen, we will support you. we will kurakot aiesec whoohhoooooo!!

go bibi go bibi!

-hmmm sarap ng bread pan!-

Facial Care

i have come to the realization that i dont really enjoy sleeping.

if i can afford it, i wont sleep at all. have you ever experienced the feeling of wanting to do something else when you've just lied down to take your good night sleep? that's like a routine for me. the moment i lie down, id be up again after ten minutes. i just do not enjoy lying down trying to lull myself to sleep when i simply cant and could just do other things instead.

i usually take a nap from 8 to twelve. when the clock strikes midnight, id be up, take a good midnight snack, coffee if possible (but my heater bugged out the other day so no coffee yet...), and id be surfing the net all throughout the earliest hours of morning. by four id be too groggy to function, so id sleep again. my mobile phone alarms at six thirty, and amazingly, i can start a new day by then.

im not a morning person, but hey, isn't it phenomenal that my body clock wakes my body up every six thirty in the morning and the said body will be able to function properly afterwards? that's wondrous for me enough...

...

i tried something new today. i bought this tube of something from nivea, in my attempt to save my facial skin from weathering. actually i bought it because i saw my face at the mirror this morning and i screamed when i saw a ghastly monster with flaky pimples gaping back at me. ugh, there really comes these kind of days, when your flowing curls are as riotous as mesh wires, your eye bags are like... eye strollers... something. and your face becomes a life-waning sign of aging.. (oh shit, this year im turning twenty.. should i grow up now?).

well, i remember danazart telling me that we should take care of our skin while we're still young, i mean start taking care of our skin early on before we can't reverse the effects of aging. well, since everyone thinks im this vanity humbo (which i definitely am not, believe it or not, the only hygiene whathaveyous in my comfort room are a bottle of shampoo, a tube of conditioner, and a bar of soap... i dont even use the conditioner.) so, i went to mercury drug, bought a tube of i dunno what kind of cream is inside and applied some on my face (had a hard time doing the ritual because first, im not acquainted to the ways of the metrosexual, and second, my hand is still dotted with cotterized wounds from my recent visit to the dermatologist...)

anyways. i thought i did the right thing: lather lather, apply in full circles, every inch of the face covered. then rinse with clean water and pat dry. to my horror, nag-dry ung mukha ko! dry as in nagmukhang papel! tapos maganit, and i felt like ive just had a face tuck.

so i immediately texted danazart (mga 11:30 na un) and told him what he had indirectly done to my face (haha, since sya ung nagsuggest na alagaan ung skin whatever.) sabi nya dapat daw kung may facial foam, dapat bumili din ako ng moisturizer, kasi magddry nga ung skin pag ung foam lng. sabi pa nya... "yan na nga ba iniisip kong mangyayari..." over the sms. okay, so i guess alam nyang may pagka-simpleton ako in this area of life.

malay ko ba.

foam eh. i was thinking moisture, bubbles, and soothing aloe relief. un pala oil control ung purpose nya. oh well.

so bukas bibili ako ng moisturizer. kmusta naman, mapapabili pa ko ng sari saring facial care products para "mapigilan ang paglabas ng signs of aging..." hakey...

nako, mabuti pa magconsult na lang ako sa isang gurl, because they know about this stuff than we guys do. we gotta give it out to the gurls... those weird-looking fruit-smelling creatures... haha!

...

it has become a habit - my chatting with gezza dolor who is in dubai right now. you know what, sometimes, i feel like i connect better to people who are far from here. people who i know will never be able to party out with me or whatever because they're already far away, and that the only way they can share the life in me is through hypertext sent over an artificial medium of communication... well. that's just another realization.

...

still haven't lied since THE INCIDENCE.

ok bai! will try to sleep.

-life is not worth living without sansrival and chocolate crinkles-

Cable DSL

ah... kaya naman pala mabagal ung internet.. the connection settings should be set on "cable/dsl" instead of "modem..." cool. click tap tap..

...

this is kind of weird. the only two contacts in my ym are jejo and... mihaela...

oooohh...


*muling ibalik ang tamis... ng... lalala"

yuck. ang jologs.

-oooh, ipod-

Ubos Oras

haay. im bored.

hmmm... just yesterday i sort of violated my new year's resolution. i lied, a bit. i told a friend that i was in class when in fact, i wasnt due to be in class for like five minutes, and i was actually munching on chicken strips in this fine dining restaurant in UP. ugh. now im guilty, but i dont want to flagellate myself for not following my own laws. maybe i'd just forget about it and just try not to lie next time.

besides... it slipped off my tongue...

ok, from this moment on, no more lying.

...

i want an ipod. now. gusto ko second generation ipod nano, black... 8 gigabytes.

*hey now hey now, this is what dreams are made of...!"

...

nababagalan pa din ako sa dsl. i thought sobrang bilis na nya as in woosh... hindi pala. well to be technically correct, this type of cheap broadband is just six times faster than ordinary dial-up. so that explains why there are still some lagtimes while surfing.

if i had the money, i would've applied for the 3000 pesos option. tipong 40 times faster than dial-up... woooosh!

...

im so bored.. im surfing the net pointlessly, im tinkering at my cellphone for the umpteenth time, it might just give up on me. ive stared at my new "nightmare before christmas" dangler, it still hasn't shown any sign of life. bored bored bored.

kakain na lang nga ako. pampaubos oras.

-where have all the people gone?-

Sky DSL

woooooohooooo! DSL galore!

-tap tap-

Anthropoligic Observations

whoa. asa dubai na pala si gezza dolor. hindi man lang nagpaalam.

wow, people keep coming and going. baka mamay pati mga relatives ko magsialisan na din.. tsk.

i have always dreaded the feeling of being left behind. una dahil, well, left behind ka, second dahil hindi mo masshare ang fun experiences nila abroad. huhu. tsk.

sobrang interested ako sa foreign culture. parang obsession na nga eh. ang latest na ginagwa ko sa net ay magsearch ng famous multiracial people all around the world. wala lang.tingin ko talaga there will come a time na sobrang magmimix lahat ng races until magkakamukha na lahat at hindi mo na madistinguish ang caucasian from negroid from mongoloid.

wow, sana pala nag-anthro na lang ako... haay.

-logi-

Soviet History

my assignment in econ111 is not only impossible (im relying on my wondrous writing prowess to make things happen haha), it's driving me crazy. ms tuvera wanted us to submit a paper about the brief history of the ussr, from its rise to its dissolution in the 1990's...

so i was surfing wikipedia, tap type tap, searching searching lots of russian names i cant even pronounce. my teacher gave keypoints that we should include in our paper... there were ten, but wiki doesnt give you just ten... while you're reading, you stumble upon a chain of links which open up to other stories that you couldn't possibly include in your paper... why? because she wants the paper to be brief, which means we have to collapse the whole history of the soviet union into one single page, and wiki is offering you virtually a book-long narrative of the communist nation's history...

all the while i was doing my assignment, a question was nagging my brain: could you ever write a BRIEF history of the ussr? i dont think the best historian/writer can. not by sticking to monumental history and taking into consideration the important hallmarks of the timeline, and definitely not with only one page to write on, with font size not smaller than 8 vertical pixel units.

Lord give me the power to command words. they are being hard to manage these past few days. or maybe it's just my wernicke's area not functioning well. did you know that word recognition is associated with speech...?

wala never mind.

anyways we went to the derma this afternoon... mejo scary yung ginawa sakin dun, takot kasi ako sa needles at sa turok... anyways buti hindi ako nagfaint ulit, kasi the last time i was there for my botox injections, i fainted, haha... oh well.

sinunog nung skin-person ung warts at skin lessions sa fingers ko. meron syang weird apparatus, parang drill na may thin film of hot metal sa dulo tas un ung ginamit na pangburn nung lessions. but i didnt feel a thing kasi homer injected a lot of anesthesia on my hand kasi nga daw ung last time, parang nararamdaman ko pa din ung pain kaya ako nagfaint haha.

anyways hindi ko napityuran ung mismong sinusunog ung warts, kesyo delicate operation daw whatever. ewan, pretty ung nurse kaya lang may asawa na. tsk.

eto pictures...:


the sinister land of skin-disease busters...


this was my hand after they injected the anesthesia... bloated fingers, haha, nakkatawa talaga ung fingers ko kasi parang na off proportion sila hahaha nung ni-render ung drugs.


eto na ung fingers ko nung after iburn ung warts. puno ng bandages at hindi ko sila magalaw.

so the bandages and the left-over anesthesia are preventing me from typing properly. tsk, panu na pag nagwear off na ung anesthesia, sasakit na. huhu.

oh no magreresearch pa pala ko ng millenium development goal indicators for philippine biodiversity. haay. ok later...

-sore...-

Reg Blues

accomplishment of the week: i registered myself on the city's "masterlist" of voters for the coming senatorial elections. yey!

but the entire process of getting registered is... bloody. you have to be at the city hall very early in the morning, say 6:oo am. you have to fall in line, and wait for your turn on the camera and finger-print profiling. ugh, it's a whole bunch of crap and back aches.

i went to the registration with my best buddies aizel and danazart. but danazart has to leave before it was his turn because he had to go to the airport and fetch his dad's classmates who are, uh, i dunno, vacationing here in the philippines... so it was just me and aizel. we were there by 6:00 in the morning, clothed in the thickest of sweaters because it's uber cold in lipa city, and waited for like five hours until we were up. on the process, we befriended people, saw schoolmates from la salle, ate apas, played cards, etc. etc. it was boring to the bones. i promise never to be in a municipal registration ever again.

pero buti nakaregister na kami. mappractice namin ang aming right to vote. yeeha.

but then what's the sense of it all if your vote ends up being corrupted by red taped officials? tas ililipat lang ung votes mo sa isang candidate na di mo naman binoto? or nanakaw ung ballot box na kinalalagyan ng boto mo tas napatapon somewhere...? haay.

anyways.

parang naaddict na yata ako sa coffee.. kanina bumili ako ng isang pack ng nescafe three-in-one na worth 156 pesos... bale 36 sachets un ng aromatic coffee with cream. yehey. yum ang sarap. sana wag ako magpalpitate.

*commercial: thank you ayen and brylle for working out my wifi connections. sobrang nabano ako sa wifi, dun ako sa tambayan naggather ng data for my paper in econ111, tas andun lang kami nila enteng at brylle at marian at kuya ian naggurl hunting sa internet, tas six oclock na uwian na. cool wifi.

....

sana makabit na dsl ko. tomorrow pupunta kami derma para patangal skin lesions ko. yehey. laser galore.

anu pa ba?

...

wooo sarap ng coffee...

...

gumawa ako ng ad for the bb42 getaway this summer! parang teaser lang, wala kasi ako magawa nung isang araw.

wala lang. kinuha ko ung concept sa bayantel. haha. kaya lang ako lang makakaappreciate nito kasi hindi ko naman sya maupload sa ygroup kasi hindi ko alam kung pano. oh well...

-coffee coffee coffee-

Coin Purse

yey!


this morning, namomroblema ako kung san ko lalagay ang sandamakmak (yes, my current favorite word) na coins na nasa desktop ko. i was about to visit sc and get me a coin purse, ung tipong gawa sa banig, color brown with black embroidery.. boring but i dont have a choice...

but this morning din, sa french class ko, binigyan ako ni len ng coin purse! na galing pang bangkok! yey!!


yan...

at hindi lang sya boring na banig type. original thai hemp at leather to. haha! mejo mukha lang pang-gurl pero ok lang, pa-gurl naman ako minsan... haha! thanks len!

dahil jan, i will pray for your affair tomorrow. sana sya na. i wish you happiness and a favorable vie amoureuse.

ay hindi kasya ung coins. tsk.

Holiday Updates

hello hello! im back, homework none the lighter. shoot.

uh. oh i forgot to recount my "posh" christmas experience.. "posh" mainly because my cousins who are earning figures more than i can dream of, spent the holidays at lipa city, treated me everywhere, whatever lipa city could offer. i cant believe they lead that lifestyle. its like, hey im earning whatever and ive got nothing to pay it for, so lets just waste them see where our money would lead us. for days, we have pigged out, ate out from morning till dawn the next day. wow. sarap. we went to places, i could only recount as hmmm: the bibingka dampa, a goto house, yellow cab (grabe sawa na ko sa charli chan chicken pasta), chicken ati-atihan at ayala avenue, cafe de lipa, the other coffee house i cant remember its name. et cetera et cetera.

we also visited a far-flung place in the outskirts of lipa city where this certain guy is manufacturing original batangueno tablea, the best of its kind. we brought some home, and asked my far cousin's lola to make chocolate out of them. and she did, and wow, ang sarap.the eve of christmas we were drinking original batangueno tablea chocolate in tea cups, the drink that made lipa city the richest city before, when the cacao tree flourished in the virgin fields of lipa. they have died out now, only a few are left. we have one at my mums place in rosario. but its dying tooo.. hay. sarap pa naman nung tablea chocolate. we could make a fortune out of it really. dahil masarap sya talaga.

uh...

it was sad though because mum got this christmas fever, so she spent the christmas days at the hospital. wawa. we visited every time. dami naman nyang visitors so i guess she's ok.

hay ang dami naming ginawa, hindi ko na maalala. basta nung new year, wala masyado fireworks because they were banned by the local government. tsk tsk. ung pede lng ung mga tipong mamahaling branded fireworks, they ones they set off at celebrations. ung mga bombs at shells. basta.

and wow, ang dami daming food. but i wasnt able to eat them all. there are chocolates, carbonara, adobo, may morcon, pizza, may spaghetti, may sugpo (na binili pa sa dampa sa may paranaque, ang OC noh?), may cakes, hmmm, gutom na ko, may chicken, kung anu ano pa. buhay baboy.

and oh i have a lot of chocolate bars from a wonderful thing that arrives regularly twice a month. its called a balik-bayan box! haha! when you open that wonderful thing, sandamakmak na chocolate ang tatambad sayo. ooooohh...

at minsan, may kasama pang mga damit, tsinelas, sapatos, cap, mga gadgets, laptop, printers, softwares, mga gamit sa bahay, diapers (haha), stuffed toys, toys, et cetera. kung anu ano. weee.

my new year's resolutions:

1. i will be more honest - narealize ko napaka-liar ko, you know, id lie to get around things i dont want to happen, for example, may seccom activity, magllie ako kunwari maraming assignments wala naman. if id do the math, of all the things that i ever said, mga 80% lang ang totoo. this year, i will try my best to be honest all the time. madali lang naman siguro to gawin.

2. hindi na ko mag-uuwi ng laundry sa batangas. mummy got fever because she washed my dirty clothes, eh ang dami nun. so, sa laundry house ko na lang papalaba.

3. i will be a happier person. i get it, tayo talaga ang nagdedecide if we will lead a happy or sad life. life is too short to be grumpy all the time, so let's just be happy and hustle life like its one big party.. :)

un. after the christmas and new year frenzy punta naman kami sa hospital ulet to get my ear checked. you see i get this stinging pain whenever i move about, tapos nung nagkasakit ako before magnew-year, it was giving me headaches and lahlah, basta minsan nag-blow ako and i spat blood. so we went to the doctor. sabi nya, one cause of the pain is that nagasgas ung middle canal minsang ngcclean ako ng ear. it was even aggravated because whenever i clean my ear, i dab the cotton heads with alcohol, (kala ko mas ok un, hindi pala) so ang nangyari na-dry ung skin nung inside ear, kaya naging flaky, so tuyong tuyo ung surrounding nung sugat. dumugo tuloy. eh nagkasipon pa ko, so the other side of the ear drum was clogged with phlegm and blood, kaya i hear ringing and i get stinging sensations and sometimes i get feelings of vertigo. so ang ginawa ni doc, nilinis nya ung tenga ko (cool ung equipment, parang vacuum. i wish i have that one at home, para hindi na ko gagamit ng cotton buds), tas he gave me instructions how to take care of my ears.

now im under medication, i feel like my liver is drowning from all the drug fluids that getting into my system. i have an expectorant, an antibiotic, and an ear med. hmmm, sana walang mangyari sa liver ko. at sana gumaling na ang ears ko.

next up, ung damaged fingers ko naman. no, hindi ako naputukan. its just that i have skin lessions on my fingers, more of like warts, dahil sa aking pagddrums for the pep squad. naging invasive ung virus na nagccause nung lessions so we have to go to our derma, oo ung same derma na freaky (naku baka magpass-out na naman ako. haay). this time hindi na botox ituturok sa fingers ko, ilelaser na ung mga warts. yey! pero scarry. mainit ba un?

uh. un. nakita ko na pala ung nawawala kong mga gamit. nakakalat lang sila sa tambayan. good thing no one dared to throw them away. i would kill for my form5.

hmmm, chocolate! babay, im going to get myself a sugar rush. zweeep!

PS. thanks darryl sa chocolate! ang sarap...
PSS. sobrang na-enjoy ko ang gift sakin ni pia. i guess kelangan ko pumunta sa divi to get me pirated copies of friends. saya!
