I'm moving to Livejournal.

Blogspot gets really annoying when you're on Safari coz there's no wysiwyg option. But I'm so used to Safari already and I hate having to switch browsers just because i have to blog and shit.

Anyway, I've been wanting to do this since July but thanks to school, I never really got around to actually doing it.

So since it's sembreak, squeeee! You can now find me at http://vodkatragedy.livejournal.com. It's still under construction so it's pretty messed up but, whatever.

People with LJ, add me up! :D

I still don't know what to do with this blog though.
cross-post? duh, nag-LJ pa ko...
delete? HELL NO.
Ewan. I'll probably just leave it as it is.

So there. I guess I'll see you all in LJ-land. :p

As promised...

2006-10-24T23:56:00.000+08:00

...sorta.

Okay, I don't know exactly what to write about. Only a few stuff transpired since my last last post (the one before my birthday). There was Dad's birthday dinner, schoolwork, family lunch, schoolwork, thesis, FINALS, my nonexistent birthday, yadidadida. And as usual, I'll let the pictures do (most of) the talking. :p

Dad's birthday dinner with the Faustino clan

Yet another Faustino lunch

My birthday lunch, Teriyaki Boy (wherelse) / Studying at Mateo Ricci for physics finals

My birthday dinner, Bubba Gump

And some pics from the last day of my hopefully last first sem in Ateneo

Rockwell with Elle / Lunch at Kaya / Watched the banquet

Oh and I was FINALLY able to go to the Mall of Asia this afternoon. :D Haha, loser no more. :p Hahaha I know, I suck. :p

Anywaaaaay, it's sembreak and OMG I can't believe how much I miss sleeping. But my sleeping habits are so fucked up anyway that it doesn't really make sense anymore. Hahah :p

Okay, I'm sleepy. And I got nothing more to say so, ta-ta. :p

A lot can really happen in a year.

2006-10-18T23:17:00.000+08:00

...taking a 5-minute breather from cell mol and philo.

I just want to thank everyone who texted, called, ym-ed, e-mailed and greeted me today.
Thanks, guys. I really felt the love. :p

Decent entry to follow as soon as this fucking sem is over.
For now, all I can say is OMFG LOST SEASON 3 IS AWESOME!!!
And Jate is sooo last season. SKATE FTW!!! Hahaha :p
Ugh, I can't wait for episode 3.

5-minute break over.
Ok, back to work.
Bisous! :)

Cousins Night Out

2006-09-25T21:17:00.000+08:00

Cousins night out last friday was such an amazing night. :D We dumped ourselves at Greenbelt and had food and drinks at Masa's. We first wanted Absinthe but this viva hot babe was having a party and we naturally didn't want to gatecrash or anything. Hello.

Goddd, it's been too long since we went out and last Friday was just perfect timing. :) I badly needed a night out coz school's driving me insaaaaane. And that's probably the last night out I'll have until this sem ends. My social life's retarded. Blame it all on stupid requirements. Argh.

Anyway, after Masa's, we headed to Bed Space coz we were torn between just chilling and dancing. :p Hahaha I had so much fun! Everyone was so funny hahaha! And when PCD started to play, we all went wiiild! Hahaha! :p Okay, enough. On to the pictures. :p

More here. :p
Ugh, I love dancing and martinis and smirnoff ice haha!
And I love my cousins to death! :D

LOST bloopers! :D

2006-09-24T23:48:00.000+08:00

Okay, I know I've been posting a lot of LOST stuff lately. This will be the last one (until season 3 kicks off), I promise! I just love this show so much. Hehehe :p The bloopers are SO HILARIOUS. hahaha :p If you're a LOST fan and you haven't seen this.. watch it like, right now! :p

I don't care if I sound like a total whatever, but I looooove LOST and these bloopers just made me laugh really hard at some point. Especially these:

Michael: Oh no you di-in't. It's not a rOft, it's a raft!
---
Michael: Hey man. *squeezes Jin's arm* You been working out?
---
Sayyid: What are you doing here, Danielle?
Rosseau: Looking for you. Get down, with your bad self.
Sayyid: *winkwink*
---
Sawyer to Jack: I love you, man.
---
Sayyid: John. John, wake up.
John: *wakes up, looks at sayyid*
Sayyid: *doesn't remember his line* I can't quit you, baby. *then kisses John on the lips!*
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

God, I really love this show. :p

HOLY SHIT

2006-09-21T19:26:00.000+08:00

Less than two weeks to go!
Latest promo/teaser:

Skate kiss. OMG.

Old ones:
Promo version 1

Promo version 2

Promo version 3

Promo version 4

Promo version 5

AND... well, here's basically everything. All the LOST season 3 promos above rolled into one. I just wanted to take space. haha :p

YOUHAVETOFREAKINGWATCHEVERYTHING! :p

I.am.so.freaking.excited.shitshitshit
I can't waiiiiiit.
OMG.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!

I just realized.

2006-09-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

Shit. I absolutely have no idea how I'll survive October. All of what's left of September will be ~~relatively~~ very light because of all the freecuts and teachers going out of town/the country. Like, for this week, I only have to attend 2 philo classes, 1 physics class and 1 physics lab. No cell mol lecture, no cell mol lab, no thesis (i think) and no theo. And I don't have to worry about theo until October, so, yay.

But man, I can't even imagine how October's going to treat me. I mean, I love October, it being my birth month and all. But I am just dreading all the stuff I have to do then. Reflection papers, lab reports, oral reports, oral exams, quizzes, presentations, THESIS and whatever it is these professors come up with. I mean, seriously. Just because classes were suspended a LOT of times during the sem doesn't mean they get to cram every single item on the syllabus in two weeks! Okay, maybe they can. But whatever.

All I know is when October commences, I'm Dead. With a capital D.

Huhuhu. Seriously. I actually want to start and do advanced whatever on all my requirements just to lessen my October load but I don't know where to begin! I don't know what to do first. I already did advanced reading on philo, but I gave up when I realized that none of the words are getting to me anymore. I'll probably continue some other time.

Okay, at least, I have advanced "knowledge" on something already. That's a start.

Ugh. There's only one reason why I would probably want October to start already. L-O-S-T. I can not wait for October 4, it's driving me nuts.

Meanwhile, the weekend was quite fun. Abby's surprise birthday thingy last Friday was a success. :) We managed to get her to go to school even if we had a freecut and nothing else to do. Oh Abby, you should have seen how devastated we were when we found out you might not be able to come to school. Hahaha! But we surprised you and that's all that matters. And sorry we put 3-0 candles on your cake instead of 2-0. Hahah! :p

My nephew-godson also celebrated his 1st birthday over the weekend. It's been so long since I've been to a kiddie party and I actually had fun. :D haha!

Oh and I got to go out and see my girls again, thank God. Jerdi and I played the *ever supportive friends* to Jo and went to her org's event which was again, a huge success. Free-flowing jagers and jack daniels, baby. One hell of a gig, Jo! :D

More (and bigger) pics at my multiply.

abby :p

me and elle / the three of us

jo, me and jerdi

Why I don't feel happy anymore?
Atleast, not like in the pictures.
Ugh. October's gonna be a real biatch.

I hate this.

2006-09-14T18:44:00.000+08:00

Ugh. Our professor told us earlier that our finals for Physics would be on October 18, 3:30-6:30 PM. OMG. THAT'S MY FREAKING BIRTHDAAAAAAAAY. :( For the first time in my college life, my birthday does not fall on the sembreak. I HATE IT. Ugh. I don't want to spend my birthday studying and cramming and shit. I want to go ouuuut. And it sucks that I have to celebrate on a different date, which is TOTALLY NOT THE POINT OF CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS. It defeats the purpose of celebrating on so many levels. goddd.

Okay, i just needed to vent. Anyway, I have to go to a family dinner at the Flores'.
kthanksbye.

Same Shit, Different Day.

2006-09-12T18:41:00.000+08:00

Okay, so except for a few random happy moments, today was not a good day. AT ALL. I had quizzes in Philo and Theo plus a Physics long test.

I barely studied for the two quizzes coz yeah, I figured they were just quizzes. So I used the entire weekend + Monday studying for the Physics long test which I probably screwed up anyway. And the funny thing is, I think I did well in the two quizzes. Okay maybe not for the Theo quiz, but that's not the point. I'm just soooo frustrated that I study and study and like, only get a little over 6 hours of sleep FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND, and I end up staring blankly at the questions hoping for some supernatural being to just whisper the answers to me. Ugh.

And then we had to endure thesis fuck-ups. I really hate thesis. It's consuming me whole. goddddd

And I got my period today. HAHA like you need to know.

And I really really want to go to the gym again. Even if the trainer says I'm overfat. Which is true anyway. Ugh. I just want to do something exercise-y. Like, I want to daaaance. I miss the Nike Rockstar Workout and the Body Jam classes too. Shit I can't believe I actually miss hitting the gym. I want to go baaaack. But then again, I don't have time. Sucks big time.

And I really want to go shopping. Yeah, like that's something new. I always want to go shopping.

And I want to eat. But everything goes to my face. Whyyyyy.

[EDIT 7:42pm]
Oh and Duffy/Eia/Ma. Elvira Santos, I know you read my blog...
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAY! :D I miss you already! Let's go out soon! Our night out's so long overdue na. :p

October 4, please hurryyyy.

2006-09-06T09:06:00.000+08:00

It's 9 am. I have a cell mol long test tomorrow and what am I doing? Watching teasers for the third season of LOST at the ABC page and on Youtube. I can't freaking concentrate.

OMG I CAN NOT WAIIIIT. I love love love LOST. I miss it so much already. And October 4 is sooo far away. :(

Ugh, I hate myself. STUDYSTUDYSTUDY

kthatsallbye.

Finally, thank heavens!

2006-09-06T00:49:00.000+08:00

After bugging a lot of people and racking my brains out, I finally have an idea for my creative thingy for the yearbook! It's not so creative but heck, whatever I'm so happy with it already. :) I just hope it turns out well. And I hope I get the stuff I need, which I think wouldn't be that hard to find. :p

Just some stuff.

2006-09-03T21:56:00.000+08:00

Ugh, I just got back from my cousin's thanksgiving dinner and I downed waayy too much wine than I should have. And it's only 9:50 pm right now. UGGH. But whatever. I had nothing else to do there so sue me. Like, I had a choice. Hello, I didn't want to listen to the oldies with all their oldies talk. godddd.

And right now, the only place I want to be in is a place where the only thing I would have to worry about is where to shop next.

Shit, I am sooo shallow for my own good it's not even funny anymore.

dammit

2006-09-03T12:28:00.000+08:00

can i just die right now?
ugh, screwthisliiife.

"That's all."

2006-09-01T18:52:00.000+08:00

I finally saw The Devil Wears Prada with Elle this afternoon. The wardrobe is gorgeous and the lines weren't that bad too. I heard quite a number of friends didn't like it because of how it strayed too much from the book. I actually liked the movie. I guess it helped that I wasn't so keen on how it was written. Like, I only read the first chapter. And that was two years ago, I think. Haha! :p

I loved how Meryl Streep looked fierce (in all aspects haha) and calm at the same time. Amazing actress, I tell you. She was so right on! And Anne Hathaway! Haha :p she was adorable. And I guess she's really good in the ugly-fashiom-victim-made-over-into-a-pretty-girl department. Haha! They did fantastic job. And Stanley Tucci!!! OMG the movie really needed Stanley Tucci. Hahaha :p

Ugh, I loved loved loved the clothes, did I mention that already? That olive Calvin Klein voile jersey dress is killer!!! And the accessories oh godddd. The necklaces alone were driving me crazyyy.

My favoriiiite! Ugh, this Calvin dress is love.

Oh and that Valentino gown is really nice. :D
The Galliano would've been much better sans the frilly lacey thingies, though. :p

And I'm really obsessing with Andy's hairstyle. As in REALLY. I'm seriously considering it. I'm getting tired of my side-swept bangs. And I first wanted bangs like that because of Zayra (Rock Star Supernova haha :p). Acccck! It's either that, or I'll have my hair curled again over the sembreak. Ugh, I hate having to deciiiiiide!!! Seriously. I really want the Andy look (haha!) but I probably won't be able to pull it off coz Andy has a long thin face and mine is... well, not like that.

And I also loved how Miranda always ends almost everything with "that's all". Haha! Anyway, that's all. :p

*photos from imdb and yahoo!movies

NOOOO!!!

2006-08-31T20:57:00.000+08:00

Not Ryan Star!!! What the heck were they thinking?! Crap. Ugh, my heart. :(

the door. my ID. my stupidity.

2006-08-29T19:49:00.000+08:00

Ugh, what a day! Today was like one of the best and at the same time, one of the worst days ever. Okay, I've had really worse days than this. But like, what the heck. This one's a keeper. Hello, August 29, 2006.

I totally screwed up the one effing chance I had to seriously *****. The door. Thanks. THANKS. THANKS!!! Why was it so hard? Ugh, so annoying. I hate it. I AM SOOOO STUPID. And I am sooo over-reacting right now. And my ID broke in two during Physics class, right before the break. Coz yeah, I was being stupid and I sat on it. Whydothesethingshappentome?!

And Elle, rubbing in my stupidity did not help AT ALL. Hahaha but thank you coz you put up with all my "shets" and "omgs". Hahaha! :p I heart youuuu! :p But I heart him too. hahahahaha kadire.

WOW. Seriously. This entry is so pointless coz yeah, mylifesuckssobadrightnow.

And while I'm at it. Just so this entry won't suck so bad, I'll post lyrics. I haven't posted lyrics for the longest time but I am just sooo in love with this song. I love it. And I could go on and on and on. Ugh, bask in my lameness.

Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
- Panic! At The Disco

Well, is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Well, then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin

I've got more wit
A better kiss
A hotter touch
A better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet
Sweetie you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So I guess we're back to us
Oh, cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought
Where was it that we last left off?
(Let's pick up, pick up)

Oh, now I do recall
We just were getting to the part
Where the shock sets in
And the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick
I sure hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention
Let's not get selfish
Did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus?

Ugh, so you're 18 now.

2006-08-22T23:48:00.000+08:00

You're like, legal already!!! Hahahahaha!
Happy happy happy birthday brother. :p

Love you lots! i know you love me too. :p
And sorry for posting this picture, I couldn't resist! hahah :p

Wait, what?!

2006-08-17T17:18:00.000+08:00

I really wish I had a better speaking voice. I think my voice is like so low. I hate it. I sound like a boy especially around 10pm or so. Gaaah.

Anyway, I know I've kinda been neglecting my blog. I guess I just don't have anything substantial to write or talk about. I don't have much time to anyway. My life's been revolving around school and THESIS. killmenow. I hate it. And we're not even halfway finished. We're not even in the experimental phase, for crying out loud. My life-outside-school is so dead already. And all I ever do is eat eat eat and everything goes to my faaace. Whyyyyy.

Like, seriously. How I manage this life is beyond me. I don't think I even manage AT ALL. Haha. Whatever.

Anyway, here are some pictures from way way back. It sucks that I only do picture posts now. I need to write something soon. Ok, here goes.

Watched Wolf Creek with Elle at Galleria. OMG that movie. Lousiest B-movie ever. Hahaha :p

Dinner at CPK for Paulyn, who just got back from the US

Lunch at one of our Katipunan staples, The Old Spaghetti House :D

Lunch at the newly-opened Teriyaki Boy outside school :p

Dinner at Dencio's, Rockwell

Dinner at Fish & Co. and then drinks and dancing at Temple, Greenbelt with Patz and Eia :)
I even saw Ina at temple! Haha :p

OMG see what I mean? Why am I always eatiiiiing. :(
More pictures here. Feel free to snoop around. :)

Just show us what you’ve got! :p

2006-07-29T20:49:00.000+08:00

The Pussycat Dolls concert last night was sooo effin amaziiiing. I swear, Araneta Coliseum was heaving and everyone was just so excited and so hyped and just AAAAAAAH! OMG we all went crazy when the show finally started after a couple of really trifling and ANNOYING first acts. But OMG when the lights went out and PCD entered the stage, EVERYONE WENT MENTAL. Especially since their first song was Buttons which was immediately followed by Beep. BEEP is love. :D

We had soooo much fun! Ahhhhh! I'm still NOT over how fun last night was. The show-me-what-you’ve-got-showdown was just hilarious! Hahaha :p I seriously would have volunteered but we were toooo far. :p

And I’m still NOT over how HOTTT Nicole is. OMG. She's so hot. They’re so hot. Good thing Chong brought binoculars. Je and I kept ogling at Nicole’s tummy (or lack thereof) and boobs and legs and hair and limbs and EVERYTHING.

The show ended waaaay too soon though. It was only a little over an hour long. The crowd literally didn’t leave their seats until the lights were turned on. We were all waiting for a few more songs. Or atleast, maybe an encore of some sort or whatever. But yeah, they were really gone.

So since we all got hungry from all the singing, shouting, dancing, OMG-ing, laughing and stuff, we headed to Promenade. We couldn't agree on where to eat but ended up at Teriyaki Boy anyway. Seriously, whydowealwaysendupatteriyakiboy? We also had cocktails at Gerry’s Grill right after.

I HAD SOOO MUCH FUN, I’M STILL HIGH!!! Hahaha! Thanks Elle, Abs, Je and Tiong. :D Last night is LOVE. :D

i'm telling you to loosen up my buttons babe :p / don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? :D

je, me, elle and abs / me, elle and abs

half of abs, elle and me / je and me

at Teriyaki Boy

Teriyaki Boy / Gerry's Grill

More pictures at my multiply. :D

Uhm.

2006-07-25T10:09:00.000+08:00

I know I haven't been updating as much as I used to. But a lot of things are going on in my life right now. Things I wouldn't want to talk about. It's kinda hard actually, keeping things to myself and bottling all these emotions. But then again, I would feel better if I just don't share. Or I seriously might just have another breakdown.

I'll probably still write every now and then if I get the drive to do so. Meanwhile, you can just take a look at my multiply site here, if you want to check out some of the stuff or whatever it is I'm up to these days. After all, pictures paint a thousand words right? :)

:)

2006-07-20T16:50:00.000+08:00

So, dad's finally out of the hospital, just in time for their wedding anniversary (which is today). Thank you God. And thank you to those who sent out prayers too. We really appreciate them. :)

xoxo,

Immersion Blues

2006-07-12T22:44:00.000+08:00

So my immersion in Pampanga over the weekend turned out AMAZING. I had a lot of negative ideas about the infamous Theology immersions and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be what I thought it would be. I loved every minute of it. Well, except maybe for my headache on the 2nd day but I got over it.

I genuinely had a wonderful time while I was there. The people I was with made everything worthwhile. :) Even the food was memorable-- hello cricket pinakbet and frog tinola!!! :p

I really learned a lot over the weekend. I had so much fun. I laughed a lot, met new friends and experienced new things. Some parts were tiring but just seeing them smile/laugh made everything okay. I think I speak for the whole group when I say we enjoyed being there. It was as if we were in a totally different world, just thinking of these people. And as the guys would like to put it, super bagal ng oras while we were there. :p

A lot more pictures here. :)

I actually miss them already. I miss everything(okay, almost everything) about the immersion. The other group will be going back for their praxis and we're thinking of tagging along. Hopefully we have time. I'll make time. :)

Clash of three stars.

2006-07-06T21:17:00.000+08:00

Supernova indeed. :D

Okay, obviously I'm watching Rock Star: Supernova right now and OMG I'm loving it. I mean seriously. Motley Crue, GNR and Metallica. Tommy Lee, Gilbey Clarke and Jason Newsted oh my goddd. I think this seasons's contestants are way edgier (and may probably be better) than the INXS ones. Their names are cool too: Star, Logan, Storm. Hahaha :p

Don't get me wrong. I loved the first season but I guess I'm over it. Acck. But OMG I'll probably obsess about Supernova for the next three months. I feel that this will be such a stupid fangirl obsession. Hahaha! Bear with me. :p

The song selection was still good. Although this season's more on the contemporary side. :p But still. ME LIKEY. :D

Anyway, I'm leaving for Pampanga tomorrow for my Theology immersion and I haven't packed my stuff! I'm a bit excited although I really don't know what to expect.

Okay someone's butchering Iris right now.

kbye.

Oh, and can I just say?

2006-07-03T20:03:00.000+08:00

THESIS IS RUINING MY LIFE!!!

Seriously, it's like, THESIS THESIS THESIS THESIS THESIS all week long. I'm supposed to have Wednesdays off since I have no class on that day but then I end up going to school Monday till Saturday wtf. I want to dieeeeeeeeeee. We've killed over 30 mice already and we're only in the preliminary experimentation phase. IT NEVER ENDS.

I'm still alive ok!

2006-07-03T19:32:00.000+08:00

So, my Macbook finally arrived and this is my first entry on it. Hahaha! I finally converted! :D I'm still getting around it and so far I've got no complaints. I love it. :) I don't know if what they say is true --> "once you go Mac, you'll never go back" but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I want to call it halo because Oleander has been on repeat on my iPod and I just remembered how I loved listening to halo. Hahaha I know it's ridiculous. I can't believe i'm even writing about it. Hahaha :p So yeah, halo. 0:p

Anyway, it's been quite a while (okay who am I kidding, it's been a LOOOOOOONG time) since I last posted so I'll try to remember stuff that happened between now and then:

dinner and cocktails with jerdi and jo at ebisu

lunch at cibo & watched the lake house with ospret

lunch at TGIF with qel

drinks at good earth with rica and abi

lunch with the family on father's day & gio's birthday

dinner at fish & co. & watched superman returns at shang

kristy's-slash-starclass party

...and of course, there's the usual shopping trips, salon trips and food trips with mom. :D PLUS, I managed to squeeze in a LOT of sleep during my idle time. SLEEEEEEP!!! Haaay, sleep is love!

That's about it, I guess. You can check out the rest of the pics here. :D

Ok, whatever.

2006-06-09T14:40:00.000+08:00

Yesterday's reg was fucked up as hell. Worst registration everrrr. My random number was 34. I was already in school at 7:30am and I ended around 2:30pm. Christ. Then again, I got all the teachers I wanted and my sched is pretty okay, so all's well.

Anyway, I need my own laptop already. I've been alternating my dad's and my bro's computers for the past week. I know my brother's annoyed already and I can't help it if I need to use his computer for thesis (and for updating my blog and my multiply). :p

Dad already promised to get me a laptop once he's back from Norway-- which is about 4 days from now. I think I want a white Macbook. Although I'm not entirely sure. The Macbook Pro is too big and I don't really like the colors (although the pink one's not that bad). Plus, it's expensive so that's not an option anymore. :p I'm not a techie or whatever, so I don't really know. But whatever, the white Macbook's really pretty. :)

Agcgfhkjdnf i just don't know right now.

06.06.06

2006-06-06T22:12:00.000+08:00

So today wasn't such a bad day. After getting our regform and grades (I passed math! yay! :p haha) this morning, Elle, Ospret and I watched The Omen at Gateway. We were supposed to watch at Eastwood but it was still closed when we got there so we headed to Gateway instead. :p

I also got my laptop back from the computer repair place. Apparently, ~~it's dead FOREVER~~ they can't do anything about it unless I want to spend 53grand to have it repaired. 53,000. HELLOOO?! Anyway, they just gave me my hard drive so atleast I get my files back. Sucks big time.

I do not need an effin hard drive. I neeeeeeed my own computer!!!drhdfkhdffm

My laptop died AGAIIIIN.

2006-06-04T20:47:00.000+08:00

For like, the nth time and WHENINEEDEDITTHEMOST!!! This has happened sooo many times already it's not even funny. Like this one time. And now, it ~~crashed~~ died while I was in the middle of our thesis writing! Dammit.

I'm scared that I won't be able to recover my precious files. :(

Anyway, I'm using my dad's computer right now. And YM's not working. I have absolutely no idea how to make it work (HELP please?).

Ok, quick update on life.

FRIDAY
We're FINALLY done with our Thesis Proposal Defense! And we're all sooo glad it went really well (haha yabang, i know! although dapat lang 'no, with all the time and effort we put into that paper), even if we took 2 hours coz of the inputs of our panel members. :p

elle's stolen shots of me and abby before the defense :p
hahaha look how fidgety i was! :p

after the defense :p wheeeeeee!

And then I went straight home and due to lack of major sleepage, I literally fell on my bed and slept without changing my clothes (gross I know, but cut me some slack okay?). Hahaha :p

Next thing I know, my brother was waking me up coz apparently we were eating out that night. I told him to tell my mom I didn't want to go coz I wanted to sleeeeep. But he told me we were eating at 7 Corners in Crowne Plaza so I immediately got out of bed and took a bath. :p Hahaha! I was in no position to pass up unlimited lobster! And vanilla souffle! OMG FATNESSSSS :p

familia // miles and me

SATURDAY
Candy and I managed to get back to the gym. Hello? ABOUT TIME!!! It has been a month since my last exercise. :p

TODAY
Happy 4th to my girls-- Jerdi, Jo and Sweet. Miss you tons! mwah :D

Hmm.. okay, what else? I guess that's it. Bye!

Don't you know who I am???

2006-05-27T01:12:00.000+08:00

...I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!!! :p

HAHAHA! OMG how can you possibly go wrong with that line?
*photos taken from Yahoo! Movies

X-Men III kicked major mutant ass. I really enjoyed it!!! :D I don't care what the others are saying. It's definitely the best of the three X-Men films. I loved the new characters and their powers. Though they weren't developed enough and it seemed sort of "rushed". It was total mutantsuperpowerfest (though a few more wouldn't hurt :p). The dialogue and twists and turn of events were so effin amazing. Sounds and effects were also good.

I don't read the comics, okay? But I know enough bits and pieces to tell that the film wasn't entirely true to the comics. And I know they altered the storyline. :p But that's exactly the thing with these adaptations. They will never encapsulate the totality of the book or the comics or wherever it is they're based from (Hello. You can't fit anything in a 90-minute movie). It's a good thing X3 came after the Da Vinci Code. Atleast it offset my huge disappointment of watching the latter.

Anywaaaaay, can I just say? BEAST OWNS. :p His spats with Wolverine were funny. Haha! Beast has always been one of my favorites since the Uncanny X-men cartoon days :p One more thing.. Hugh Jackman (hotnessss) AND Wolverine are far beyond cool. I can't wait for the Wolverine movie. I hope it's gooooood. :D

Okay, I know people have a tendency to ignore spoiler warning signs but what the heck, I'M POSTING SPOILERS AT THE LATTER PART OF MY ENTRY. I'll still put up the SPOILER WARNING sign so don't worry. ;)

For those who haven't seen the film, don't blink during Magneto's chess scene, okay? The last scene. Oh, and stay until after the credits for a really reaaaaally short something. IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING. ;p Lastly, if you haven't seen the film, go click that little red X button at the upper right corner of this window and get your ass to the cinemas already. :p

Okay, spoilers time.

SPOILERS BELOW / STOP READING / BAHALA KA.

In bullets again okay? Just some of my random thoughts during the film :p

sir ian mckellen and patrick stewart deliverrrrrred, as per usual :p haha god, i love those two.
no NIGHTCRAWLER (mah name is kurt vagnah!)
when are they gonna release gambit?!
iceman vs pyro was short, but sweet :p how cool was iceman's ice armor???
jean grey had some serious emily rose moments
magneto reminded me of hitler and the ss during his scene with ~~mystique~~ raven. gotta love the villain. haha! history 18, much? :p
wolverine's pants are indestructible... so sad :( hehe
what was up with Rebecca Romijn's wig? mystique was way hotter than the naked raven. :p
juggernaut scenes were fun ("i need to pee!") haha :p
that leech kid was coooool :p haha! his scene with beast was :'(
my eyes welled when *** died. but i managed. :p
the last scene was the best last 2 seconds of a movie ever :p
there might (hopefully) be a fourth!!! :D

Alright, I have to sleep now. It's almost 1:30 am. Ack.

I'll do this in bullets...

2006-05-25T23:56:00.000+08:00

coz I have a lot to write about and I'm just gonna write down whatever...

watched Da Vinci Code last Monday at the Globe Platinum Cinema at Gateway. Okay, I absolutely loved the book. But no offense to hardcore Da Vinci Code lovers, the movie was just blah. I mean, I liked it, but I didn't enjoy it that much. Although I shouldn't have set high expectations because I knew the screen adaptation would never come close to the book. It's a good thing too that I didn't re-read the book. That would have made it worse.

Oh well, at least Paul Bettany made everything okay. Even if images of his Geoffrey Chaucer (A Knight's Tale) portrayal kept popping up in my head during his butt scenes. Haha! :p
Only Paul Bettany was worth the P300. Hehe. For me anyway. :p

I couldn't find a better pic :p // taken from Yahoo! Movies
I actually have more raves about the cinema than the film itself. :p It was my first time watching there and I loved it. I loved being able to curl up in the lazyboy and I loved that they had tables beside so you have a place where you can put your bag, shopping bags, popcorn, drinks (oh and they serve alcoholic stuff too! haha) and whatever. The man beside my brother was snoring and his wife (or atleast, we assumed it was his wife) kept on waking him up by slapping his face (lightly, of course). So hilarious :p
Winner line: Hitherto shall thou come, but no further.
(long story, it's kind of like an inside-family-joke :p)

Tuesday dinner was at Sakae Sushi at The Fort, where they indeed had, as their tagline goes, "good place, very good sushi". :p

The place was really nice. :) Their high-tech interactive menus were fun to "play" with although my brother got frustrated in the end coz he wanted to order "one time, big time" and not on installment. Haha :p And it's so cool coz you actually get to see your bill there in the computer (excluding the plates you get from the conveyor belt of course). :p

crappy pic of the conveyor belt thingy and interactive menu

sakae sushiiiii :p
We now have Royal Carribean Jamaican Patties in the caf!!! *with my pathetic Jamaican accent* Yeah man! Hehe! I super love these Jamaican patties. I hope the caf will still have these during the regular sem. Yummyyyyyy :D

I can't wait for Rock Star Supernova to air. No matter how cheesy this "Supernova" band may turn out to be... I still want to waaaaaaatch. I wonder how parts of GNR, Metallica and Motley Crue would sound together. :p OMG I can't wait. Besides, I need something to religiously watch on TV. Haha! :p

Thesis sucks, big time. Hi Elle! Hi Abs! ;D

My family is spending the weekend over at Mimosa. AND I GET TO STAY HOME so I can study for my finals and prepare for my thesis defense. I HATE THIIIIIIIIS.

History lectures have been nothing but interesting the past couple of days-- WWI, WWII, the countries, the people and quirky events leading to the wars are always fun to talk about. Not to mention, Sir Tirol's side stories are always funny and never dull. 1 and 1/2 hours is really bitin. :p I really hope we get to discuss The Holocaust, Dr. Mengele, Auschwitz or any Nazi-concentration-camp-related topic tomorrow. Those topics have always captivated me, in a way. :p Hehehe

I have a math long exam tomorrow and I don't know how to study for it. I didn't even understand the lesson this afternoon. :( siiiiiiiigh.

Okay, yun lang. :p

Killing time at the CTC computer lab...

2006-05-19T13:12:00.000+08:00

So mom and dad are back. And I finally got my Royce potatochip chocolates. Yay! :D Let the fatness begin! Hahaha! ;p

I was so sad when mom wasn't able to bring home Royce potatochips last week coz they were sold out. Thank God they already had stocks this week. They're just sooo good. And we have more namas coz Miles and I ate all the namas while mom and dad were away. Come to think about it, we ate all the royce chocolates while they were away. Hehehe. :p

Nako, I've been feasting on Royce chocolates everyday for the past week and I haven't gone to the gym since last Thursday. Plus I haven't eaten properly-- as in the rice-and-ulam kind of properly. So wrong, I know. I hate it.

Anyway, I only have 1 week of summer classes left. And then finals on the 29th. I can't wait to end this summer sem! History has been Amazing (with a capital A!). Especially my professor. He's the best, God bless him. :p I'm really thankful I chose that for my free elective. If every teacher in Ateneo is like that, everyone would get A's or B's at the very least.

Math, however, has been nothing but a drag. It has always been a drag coz I suck at math so much it's not even funny. And then there's Thesis. Thesis worries me. We've passed our 2nd drafts and I still only have a vague idea of what we're supposed to do. I don't even want to think about the proposal defense. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE ANYWAY? I'm so scared.

I can't wait to get my life back. Hahaha. Okay, OA naman na yon but I really can't wait. I want to spend what's left of my summer break somewhere hopefully NOT in Manila. I want to go back to Boracay or Palawan. Or maybe Pagudpod or something. I don't care. AS LONG AS I GO SOMEWHERE.

But right now I have to go to my math (ugh) class coz I've been here for over an hour. HAHA what a way to segue. :p

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! :D

2006-05-14T20:11:00.000+08:00

new year's eve celebration // miles' graduation dinner

at D'mall in Boracay

I can not thank you enough
for everything you have showed and taught me.
I can only do my best and make you proud of me. :)

I can not thank you enough
for everything you have done for me and done with me.
Food trips, spa trips, salon trips, shopping sprees and everything else in between
are NEVER the same when they aren't with you.
You know there's no one else I'd rather shop with but you, right? Hahaha!

I can not thank you enough
simply for being my MOM--
for letting me stay in your womb for nine whole months,
for enduring that painful process called "birth" and well, giving birth to me,
for taking care of me always,
and for your unwavering and unrequited love.

These alone, are reason enough to celebrate YOU on this special day.

I love you, mom.
Happy Mother's Day.
:)

PS. I hope you and dad are having a wonderful time out there. :p We miss you both so much. :)

Rain, Rain Go Away...

2006-05-13T00:29:00.000+08:00

Well, at least for now.

I mean, it's perfectly fine for it to rain in our beloved oven of a country once in a while, but come on! Summer's not yet over. It's not even close to being over. Okay, for me, at least. Especially since the 2nd half of my "summer break" is two and a half weeks away. :D Hehe.

I don't want the rainy season to start so soon. I'm not an only-happy-when-it-rains type of person. :(

Plus, my parents are off for their Asian cruise ~~tomorrow~~ in a few hours so it better not rain! Sayang naman if they don't get to enjoy it coz of a typhoon or something. :p

Anyway, I better get back on my thesis. dlfkjdnihatethesisnsmdldk,sn

I wasn't able to watch...

2006-05-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

...both the performance and elimination night this week coz I was at the gym and I didn't bother using my earphones on the treadmill.

And this just had to be the week where Chris Daughtry gets voted off. What is up with that?!! lkljfsdkjhddlkjls It should have been an all-male top three! grrr

This season is full of crap.

Anyway, I learned about him being eliminated through Jeff after history class and OMG, we all couldn't believe it! Everyone was shocked. I heard Simon Cowell was so stunned, he had nothing to say! (We don't get that reaction very often, eh?)! Even Regis and Kelly were shocked! Hahaha :p

I guess it's a good thing I didn't get to watch any of this week's shows. I probably would have cried. Hahaha! Sooo lame, I know. :p But Chris is just so good, he CAN'T NOT win AI. Dammit! But he'll make it big, for sure. Coz he's amazing like that. Hahaha! :p

The show is rigged, I tell you.
Effin RIGGED.

She's Baaaaack! :D

2006-05-08T23:14:00.000+08:00

Yay! Mom's back! :D

I sorely sorely missed my mom even if she was gone for only 4 days. She was supposed to be back around 8 pm this evening. We were planning to surprise her and prepare dinner with the works but she was the one who surprised us coz she arrived a few minutes before 6 pm! Hahaha! Oh well. :p At least she's home safe. And with a truckload of pasalubongs! Hahaha! Oh mom. :)

She brought home a LOT of Royce chocolates! (POOF! There goes Mission:UNDERfat!) The only pasalubongs I asked for were the Royce potatochip chocolates (which, sadly were out of stock) and the Nama ones. She told me that when she went to the Takashimaya store, she talked the salespeople into giving her lots of free tastes and stuff. Hahaha! She ended up buying almost every variant because she can't decide which ones to get. Hahaha! Soooo typical of her. :p

some of the Royce goodies :p

au lait Namas and the other Royce stuff :p

God, I really missed my mom. I can't believe she'll be away again starting this Saturday. This time, with Dad. THEY'RE GOING ON AN ASIAN CRUISE WITHOUT US. And it's all because of me and my stupid summer classes. :'(

Baaaad trip. I hate how all (well, almost all since Bora pushed through) our/my summer plans were hampered by my summer classes. :( It's just NOT fair. Especially for my brothers, who can't go because I can't go. Hahaha :p

OVERfat.

2006-05-05T23:04:00.000+08:00

Marky the trainer said I was underweight AND overfat when he checked our BMIs and body fat earlier this evening. He said "you're underweight..." in a serious tone and he said "...and overfat" as if he was insulting me. The nerve!!! OVERFAT. I AM OVERFAT. I wanted to cry. :'(

UNDERWEIGHT and OVERFAT.

It's quite funny, actually. But I don't get it. Ang labo!!! I hate it.

I know I HAVE been eating a LOT lately. But I can't help it! I love to eat. I admit my eating habits are beyond gross. FAT FAT CARBO MEAT JUNK greens fruits and FAT.

Anyway , he said I need to gain a few pounds so I can reach my ideal body weight. HELLO. Our weighing scale here at home says I'm 100 already!!! If that doesn't scream IDEAAAAAAAAL, I don't know what will. He said I also need to lose my adipose and replace them with muscles so I only have muscle weight. But I hate muscle training!!! GAAAAH.

Body Jam was FUN tonight though. We were so exhausted afterwards. But it was worth it. I loved the instructor! So funny and friendly. :p I'll probably just join more classes/group stuff so my whole body gets worked out. I wanna try yoga or pilates or maybe yogilates (yoga and pilates) when I'm good already. And then there's jazz which is also taught by John! So I guess I'll try that too. :p

Ugh, what is this liiiife! I'm eating Caesar salad right now. But it's more like CAESAR SOUP coz the maid like, put a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of dressing even if I specifically told her to put one dollop only.

OVERFAT.
Why oh why?
That word will haunt me forever.

Major dilemmaand Happy Birthdays

2006-04-30T23:25:00.000+08:00

Okay, I want to go to Singapore with my mom. But I can't because I have stupid summer classes. If I go with her, I'll miss two class days -- May 5 and May 8.

We're only allowed 3 cuts for history, plus I have a math long test on the 9th. If I go with her, I'll most likely fail my math test. The lowest score out of four long tests would be cancelled though. But I don't want to risk it cos I don't want a D for my final grade.

Argh. Shet this life.

Aaaaand, La Luz trip got postponed AGAIN. We were supposed to go tomorrow but the driver problem is forever haunting us. Ugh. It's probably for the best though, since I have a math and history long test on the 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

It's so HOT in school.
Researching for thesis is blech.
I still haven't had that foot spa.
I hate this.

-end rant-

Anyway, on to happier stuff.

To my gorgeous, crazy and amazing sisters...

Me, Jerdi (April 28th) and Jo (April 29th)
at Cafe Lupe, 03.11.06

Happy happy happy happy birthdaaaaaay!!! :D

I love you guys sooo much. I can't imagine life without you. Seriously.

sisters / girlfriends / ka-barkadas / GS and HS schoolmates
2nd year HS classmates / shopping buddies / partners-in-crime
co-cheerleaders / co-camwhores / co-ninangs to jared :p
co-sinigang lovers / singles for life (haha! kidding :p)
laugh-aholics / dance-aholics / magic sing-aholics

future kumares (HAHAHA) / future bridesmaids / future ninangs of my children
and sooo much more..

I REALLY REALLY love you guys to the nth power.
Here's to being gorgeous, getting crazy, staying amazing, and growing ~~old~~ with each other.
xoxo

PS. Jerdz, I really got you with my April 27 birthday call noh? Hahaha! You know naman I won't EVER forget your birthday. EVER. :D

Hutchence = Depp?

2006-04-27T21:45:00.000+08:00

Wow. INXS is really getting a lot of publicity lately. First, there was RockStar: INXS, which was obviously followed by the release of their new album with their new lead, JD. And now, this?!...

Johnny Depp May Star In Michael Hutchence Film
Johnny Depp is being lined up to play Michael Hutchence in a movie biopic about the INXS star, it has been claimed. Depp is among the names apparently being considered for the lead role in the film... (read the rest here)

I don't know. I don't think Depp would make a good Hutchence. Depp's good, I am aware of that. I just don't think he's "rockstar" good though. :p

Qel called today. I miss that guy. He said he'll be home on June 3 so, yay. :D Hahaha! Until then, baboy! I miss how you're the only one who calls me baboy back. :p

Anyway, we joined the Body Jam class in gym today. We were like the only ones who didn't know what to do (well, plus this other girl) because apparently, the others have been attending this class like, 2 or maybe even 3 months ago. Hahaha! But it was fun. I liked the hip-hop part. We also danced to Drop It Like It's Hot and Lean Back, which are so oooold but still fun to dance to. :D I think I enjoyed the Nike Rockstar Workout more though.

Argh! I really ~~want~~ NEED that foot spa.

I am sooooo tired...

2006-04-25T22:20:00.000+08:00

...but freakishly happy. Today wasn't so bad after all. :D

Anyway, I just got home from the gym. Candy, Grace (HS classmate who happens to go to FF Eastwood too :p) and I joined the Nike Rockstar Workout class earlier and OMG it was soooo much fun! The music was horrible though. :p John - the instructor, was crazy as hell. SO HILARIOUS!!! And an amazing instructor too! We'll try to join again this Thursday. Hopefully our scheds would allow us. :p

And speaking of hilarious... I spent the better part of my break this afternoon with Tiong, Ian and CJ. OMG these guys are so funny! From the Brad Pitt-Mahal and Mike Tyson-Shaq jokes to defining the word "girlfriend", to sharpee-ness and everything else we laughed at. I literally cried while laughing at some point. Thanks guys! I'll never forget that 1 1/2 hours of madness. :) Hehehe.

In other news...

I NEED A FOOT SPA.
Seriously.
Like, right now.
I think my feet are gross.

Boracay is LOVE. :D

2006-04-19T21:58:00.000+08:00

Sorry, I'm in a word rut. There are so many things on my mind right now and there's a lot I want to say but I just can't seem to find the right words. I can't believe it. A week ago, I WAS STILL IN PARADISE.

I can't believe it only lasted 5 days. 5 days of total bliss, nonstop pigging out, extreme camwhoring, excessive laughing and just pure FUN FUN FUN. Yeah, only 5 days. But the moments, the memories, the laughs, the dorkiness, the crazy isms, the boo-boos and everything else will definitely stick with us FOREVER.

The isms and stupidities. Hahahaha! God bless us.

BORACAY IS LOVE. You won't find these here in Manila... :p

There was a LOT of people. But whatevs. That was totally expected. A lot of celebs/models/personalities too. That was the first time I've seen bora that crowded. The last time we were there, it was as if we owned the island!!! Anyway, Boracay is still very pretty. Overly devirginized, but still pretty nonetheless. OMG I can't even begin to describe waking up to THIS every single morning...

... and going crazy, getting wasted, and sleeping like this every single night, and waking up with a REALLY mild hangover in the morning. I swear, hangovers do not exist in Boracay.

What happens in Boracay stays in Boracay. --> AMEN!!!
*but NOT everything*
;)

Darn. I want to go back. I miss it soooo much already. Although I'd rather be in Palawan if only for the beach. Palawan is sooo pretty and serene. Boracay will never be serene. Just pretty. But I guess that's what makes Boracay distinct. The nightlife, the craziness and the super dami people all make bora as it is. That's what makes it extra special. :)

Shit. I'm gonna miss how extremely TOLERABLE the heat is in Boracay. Because atleast the water is just a few steps away and you can wear the skimpiest of swimsuits and no one/only a few would give a damn. UNLIKE here in Manila. Especially since school starts tomorrow. OMG summer classes begin tomorrow. I hate it already. It's sooo hot. And I feel like a friggin sophomore again with my subjects. Well, except for bioresearch. Plus I have a nasty sched. Ack. WHAT IS THIS LIIIIFE!

NMAT sucked.

2006-04-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

But it's my fault. I only studied less than a week and a half before. I didn't bother with the NMAT review classes that the others were taking. AND NOW I WISH I DID. I totally shotgun-ned and eenie-meenie-minie-moed (however it is spelled) some parts of the test. :( DAMMIT.

Anyway, I'm leaving for BORACAY tomorrow. That was the only thing at the back of my mind the entire time I was taking the NMAT. :p

Miles and I never imagined we would be in Boracay (or anywhere else for that matter) for Holy Week. I actually thought mom was kidding when she said that my cousin Elaine already made reservations and stuff and that we already have tickets so I said, "WEH?!". I didn't really believe her until she showed us the tickets like, the next day.

This is the first time we won't be in Manila for Holy Week.

Because every year, Holy Week for us is like, the one week where we'd go to church and hear mass every single day (sometimes even twice a day), attend retreats in Ultra for 3 afternoons, listen to talks, go to the church activities, go to confession, do the 14 stations of the cross, the seven last words, say the rosary, join processions, yada yada yada... all the Holy Week festivities. Well, you get it. But don't get me wrong, I don't hate Holy Week, k?

Anyway, we were just so surprised that our parents were the ones who planned the stuff. I mean, HELLO?! Last year, they went into this whole "holy-week-is-a-time-for-prayer-and-reflection-and-not-just-to-go-to-the-beach-and-wear-your-bikinis-and get-all-tanned-and-wasted-with-your-cousins" speech when we asked permission to go to Punta Fuego on Black Saturday until Easter Sunday morning. That was just fuego-- an overnight at fuego, you know what I mean?! Anyway, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT SPEECH?

But, I'm not really complaining. Hahaha. :p ALTHOUGH, I know I'll be complaining about the number of people there will be. I can't even imagine. AND I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE. Ack. I hope there's not much people (FAT CHANCE).

I'm still against this whole Holy-Week-Vacation/ Beach-during-Holy-Week/ Out-of-town-trip-during-Holy-Week or whatever it is you want to call it. I know and I agree that this is not the time to go to the beach and do whatever. But at the same time, I don't want to be a hypocrite by saying I don't want to go. BECAUSEIWANTTO.

GAHHH WHAT IS THIS LIIIFE?

Anyway, I need to finish packing my stuff. So, goodbye.

Take care and have a blessed Holy Week everyone! :D
Wherever you may be this Holy Week, don't forget to pray and go to church. :)

Seriously America, WTF? I can't believe Mandisa is OUT. Hello!?! ~~Mandisa~~ ManDIVA was easily one of the better singers this season. Okay, so country wasn't her thing. Big deal. *rolls eyes* She was great in the rest of the genres. Which is soooo UNLIKE the rest. I can't believe that Kellie girl is still there. So is white trash Bucky. (Then again, Kellie and Bucky being voted off during country week would be plain stupid). And then there's Ace and Paris and Taylor. Those 5 should get voted off. In that order. Ugh. So annoying.

And next week!!! OMG. Next week's songs will be QUEEN's! I almost choked on pizza when Seacrest said "QUEEN". Dammit. I SHOULD NOT MISS THIS EPISODE. Ano baaaa. WHY OH WHY?! Of all the weeks, WHYNEXTWEEK?! I hope there's cable where we're staying. Bwiset.

Yiiiiiii :D

2006-04-01T15:06:00.000+08:00

I just got home from the airport. Miles and I picked up our dad who just got back from Vietnam. I missed my dad. :( He was gone for 3 days and I missed him so much. Hahaha. :p I'm a daddy's girl, so sue me. :p

Anyway, I went bikini shopping with mom yesterday. :D I loooove my new swimsuits! They fit me in alltherightwaaaaays. We went to Galleria first so we can check out Nothing But Water. Last time I was there, (last week, I think) they didn't have pretty stuff. But new stocks arrived the other day so yay, I had lots to choose from. :p I got a chocolate brown twisted bandeau bikini. I've been wanting to buy a bandeau but never actually found a nice one until now. :D And OMG. Shet. I love it. Triangle tops and string bikinis can kiss my nonexistent ass. Bandeau bikinis rock! Even if I don't have the boobs to fill them up. I'd still use my string bikinis, of course. Sayang naman. Hahaha :P

And since M&S in Galleria didn't have any swimsuits for mom, we headed to Shang. We checked out Debenhams too and I got a really pretty cream/brown/orange embellished bikini. I saw Kevin, Cha and Chee checking out Chocolate's swimsuits too. :p Hehehe

Anyway, I just noticed most of my swimsuits are brown or have brown in them. Shet. I hope we can drop by Rockwell after Duty Free tomorrow. Yiiiii :D

Anyway, gotta go. I'm playing poker/pusoy dos with dad and Miles in a while.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November...

Okay, (for those who've seen the film) clearly, I just saw V for Vendetta. Ospret and I watched at Shang this afternoon and all I can say is WOW. Well, that's not really all I can say about the film but OMG. WOW. For those who haven't seen it yet, GO WATCH IT LIKE, RIGHT NOW. :) I thought it was pretty good.

me and osp in the lounge waiting for the trailers to start :p

I also liked the line "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having". Hahaha :p Not just because it had the word dancing in it, k? And they previewed a lot of good flicks coming soon. ACCCK. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OMEN!!! (plus all those other movies I saw in the previews) :O

Anyway, yesterday was the LAST DAY of my junior year. Dammit, I can't believe I'm gonna be in my senior year in less than a month. Yeah, we have summer classes. BOO. Candy and I headed to the gym after we passed our reflection papers for Microbiology. And we went to Cafe Xocolat right after gym coz I was craving for Cafe Xocolat's grilled chicken salad. Hahahaha :p We also dropped by Tiendesitas and Galleria coz Candy wanted to get something. And wheeee! I didn't buy anythiiiiiing! :D Ay. I got some stuff for gym pala like, 20 minutes before we went home. =/

candy and me at Cafe Xocolat

And that night, after the last-minute cancellations and all that drama, our long overdue cousins-night-out finally pushed through!!! :D We went to Good Earth at Promenade for some light dinner and after-dinner meals. So we just ate and drank and talked about break-ups, assholes, "grand re-openings" (winkwink ;p), our dead grandmother (yes, even that), family issues, personal issues, and BORA and everything else I'd rather not mention here. :p OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR BORA.

And after a LOT of catching up, laughing, eating, drinking, more laughing, eating, drinking and just being merry, we headed to Metrowalk for dessert and ended up at Iceberg's. Then we decided to crash Pier One coz kuya Robert was there. :p Haha so it was like, we just started the night and drank vodkas and lights all over again. Hahaha. GODILOVEMYCOUSINS. :)

us at Good Earth, Promenade

Alright, that's about it. Pictures at my multiply soon. :D

You're done!!! :)

Okay, first of all.. CONGRATULATIONS to my brother and to all the graduates of year 2006. :D My, my, I can't believe you're already done with high school. EEEK! You'll be in college already! :p

So last Sunday was Miles' graduation at La Salle Green Hills. The rites started around 4:30 and took around 3 hours to finish. My gawd, that surprise speech from the Brother-President-Principal person was just soooo darn long. *rolls eyes*

Anyway, dinner was at 7 Corners in Crown Plaza, Galleria. We originally wanted to eat at Heat in EDSA Shang but it was quite far considering we were expecting for the grad to end 8-ish. We didn't want buffet leftovers, so we had to choose from the ones nearest La Salle. Anyway, I ended up calling Crown Plaza for a reservation right after the grad. :p And thank God we ended up there! THE FOOD WAS AMAAAAAZING. I wanted to cry when I saw the lobsters. Hahah :p I LOVE LOBSTER. I went back 4 times just for the lobsters. :O ACK. There was Japanese, Chinese, Indian, yada yada yada.. :p Even the rotis were yummy! Hahaha :p

But the best part was DESSERT!!! Well, next to the lobster part, that is. They had fruits, meringues and marshmallows on sticks a la barbecues and they had this huge chocolate fountain where you could scoop out the chocolate and pour it on whatever you like. And there was this wide selection of cute little cakes and ice cream (like duh) with A LOT of toppings to choose from -- cereals, nuts, mallows, meringues, dried fruits, fresh fruits and even candies!

We loved it. :D And we're definitely eating there again. :D
Anyway, just click for pics! :)

I want a bob.

2006-03-18T19:13:00.000+08:00

OMG I saw this girl at the Rockwell Summer Chic Vintage Bazaar this afternoon and I instantly fell in loooooove with her hair! She had this really weird Sienna Miller-ish 'do, although hers wasn't the raw-ish chopped kind. But whatevs. It was so weird on her that she looked so fucking amazing. Okay, we have the same height and frame but I don't think I can pull that off. Gah. I want shortshort hair. Hahaha! :p Oh well, probably when I'm in my late 20's or something. I think I'll just settle for an updo that makes my hair look like a bob (thanks to hairclamps). :p

Anyway, as I expected, the place was super packed! But the stuff are much better than their last one. I got 2 pairs of shorts, 2 tops, 1 handbag and a bunch of really pretty accessories. :)

me = happy, wallet = sad. ;p

And I saw this gorgeous chocolate brown bikini top with a flower design (hotpink, aqua and yellow) on the right boob and I wanted to try it on but mom said there's no way I can try that thing on properly because the place was sooo packed and the crowd was just too annoying. Plus, the mirrors in the comfort rooms were not that nice. So yeah. Darn. :( I really liked that bikini top pa naman. But mom said we'll look for swimsuits next week so it's all good, I guess. :p

Shit I still haven't bought a graduation gift for my brother. Eeek.

And I can't believe it's only a matter of days until SUMMER.

OMG.

Say it with me.

SUMMERRRRR.

Summer Kick-Off already?!!?

2006-03-12T23:41:00.000+08:00

Tonight's dinner at Omakase was simply divine. :) It's probably our favorite Japanese resto coz it's relatively near our place, it's cozy, it's cheap, and the food is just amazing. We just love it there. :D And yay finaaaaaally, I was able to have my fix of kani salad already. Hahaha. :p American Dream + California Crunch + Kani Salad + Uni Sashimi + Salmon Sashimi + Yasai Itame + Chicken Teriyaki + Ebi Tempura (of course) + Beef Teppan + Bottomless Iced Teas = LOVE = fatness. Haaaay. Hahahaha. :p

yiii. :p

And yesterday, after that dreadful Microbiology exam, I had to go pick up Miles at his classmate's place again in Marikina. The poor kid got his phone stolen that morning. Tsk tsk. :( I hope whoever stole his phone will get yeast infection or something that hurts like shit... or I hope that he/she reaaaaally needs the cellphone or the money he/she will get from it.

But still, whoever you are... STEALING AIN'T RIGHT, you mf.

Anyway, since Miles was feeling down (and hungry) we headed to Eastwood for an early dinner. We soooo wanted to eat at Fish & Co. again but it was out of the way and mom texted us that she wanted us to go home already. So we just had a quick meal at Superbowl of China and just ate our sorrows away. We talked about some semi-serious stuff like his upcoming graduation on Sunday and his recognition day on Wednesday morning (which I hope I'd be able to attend even if I have a defense in parasitology that afternoon). We also managed to squeeze in a few laughs talking about his cellphone predicament, his classmate who thought that "Tiendesitas" was the latest gay word in town, someone who's so deprived of fun that it's actually funny, Mean Girls/Hot Chick/White Chicks quotes, and our dad who was not buying the idea that Miles got his phone stolen. Come to think of it, we were actually laughing the whole time. :p

Anyway, I headed to Cafe Lupe for Jo's org's Summer Kick-Off Party around 10 pm. She was the event head so we decided to have our night out there instead. Yesss, support! Haha! :) By the way, congratulations again, Jo. ;)

Sweet couldn't make it (AGAIN), so it was us three (AGAIN). :( Heheh. But I had so much fun! I haven't danced in ages so it was pretty awesome to be on the dancefloor again. :p Hahaha! We didn't get to see the fashion show though. And Jerdi and I was only able to catch the second act, Indio I. But we loved it! It was my first time hearing them play and they were awesome! :p Hehehe. Anyway, so when Jo was busy with the event, Jerdi and I nursed our margaritas and tequila rose while talking about serious and not-so-serious stuff. I miss my girlfriends sooo much already. I love you girls!!! I can't wait till our getaway! :p Got home at 2-something and I pretty much can't remember what happened after.

Anyway, you know what's next... :D

with karl roy and his guitarist friend :p

jerdi, me, karl roy and jo :p

jo, jerdi and me // me, jerdi and jo

Indio I

me and jerdi // jo and jerdi

Click here for more. :)

Darn.
Summer Kick-Off Party already.
But still two MORE weeks...
papers, defense, orals, exams, graded recitations
Argh, summer's almost heeeeeere!!!
I soooo can't wait!!!
it's driving me insane
Tali/Fuego!!!
saaaaand!

Alright, I'm babbling. Bye.

Updaaaate.

2006-03-07T21:04:00.000+08:00

Update time. It's been ages. :p In bullets, okay? Incoherence, here I come! :p

--> Watched Big Momma's House 2 with RJ last Friday night at Eastwood. We both haven't seen the first one so we kind of didn't know what to expect. We just knew it had to be funny and all, since it was supposed to be a comedy. IT WASN'T. Yeah, there were funny bits like the beach scene, but all in all... it wasn't much of a laugh. It helped that the kids in the movie were super cute though. Else, we might have walked out on the film. Heheheh. :p Yes, it was that bad. :/

"whooooooh!"
taken from Yahoo! Movies

--> Cousins-night-out last Saturday was moved coz of my brother's graduation ball. And it was my cousin Jeric and his girlfriend's anniversary too. :p Haha!

--> Sunday-lunch-slash-despedida over at Tito Ronnie's place. They're leaving some time this week for the US for vacation. Anyway, I got to see my adorable nephew and godson, Andrew. He's soooo big and so cuddly already! And his favorite song right now is BEP's My Humps. Hahaha! :p Darn, I can't wait till I can get to play with him. :p My "little bestfriend" Jewel was there too, of course. :D Hahahah!

--> Lunch with Elle this afternoon at The Old Spaghetti House. We had the Fried Mozzarella Sticks for starters. Elle got her usual Eggplant Parmigiana, what else? :p I had Parmesan-crusted Fish Fillet, thinking that it would satisfy my craving for Fish & Co.'s NY style fish and chips. Sadly, it didn't. NOT EVEN CLOSE. :( But I was able to finish it just because I was reaaally hungry. OMG, I want Fish & Co. right noooow! AND KANI SALAD. I've been craving for kani salad since last week! And RJ and I ate at Teriyaki Boy last Friday but I forgot to order this. Argh. Hahaha! :p

elle and me // elle and me
hahaha :p

But it was all good because the dessert was just sooooooo good. Colossal Choco-Chip Cookie a la Mode is LOVE. I think I said "ang saraaaap" while eating like, ten times or something. Elle can attest to this. SHE COUNTED. Hahah! :p Then again, maybe I was just reaaally hungry that time. :p

yummmmmmmy! :D

Oh God, I have absolutely no idea how I'll survive this week and next week and the week after that. I have a journal critique for Parasitology due this Thursday, History 2nd Long Exam on Friday and Microbiology Lecture 4th (?) Long Exam on Saturday. IHATEIT.

I. CANNOT. WAIT. ANY. LONGER. 17 (I think) days to go! Dammit, I can almost taste the beach. Haha! :p

Snaps for you. :D

2006-02-28T20:14:00.000+08:00

Pol sci class this afternoon was a free cut, so Elle and I just filled out our NMAT application forms in the caf and gave it to the Dean's office before going home.

I haven't eaten all day and I had to fetch Miles who was at his classmate's place because they went to UP to check out the UPCAT results. While in the car, we both decided to eat out and celebrate his acceptance to his school and course of choice: UP (MBB--Molecular Biology and Biotechnology). The little punk also got in ADMU (Management Engineering) and DLSU (BS Human Biology), so we celebrated those acceptances too. :D Hehehe. God, I wish I was as smart.

So there, we headed to Shangri-la and ate at Fish & Co. It was a good thing there weren't too much people eating so we had the service crew all to ourselves. Hahaha :p We both got fish and chips. I had my usual New York style fish and chips (hahaha! I never get tired of this) and Miles had the regular one coz they ran out of baked oysters. :p And I wanted to order the 1-liter jungle drink I had last time, but Miles didn't like that so I ended up with strawberry lemonade, which was pretty good too. :p

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS brother. :p
I absolutely had no doubt you'd make it.
Snaps for you. :) hehe
I'm soooo darn proud of you. :D

Eurostar

2006-02-25T23:49:00.000+08:00

Hahah. One of my dad's wishes finally came true this evening. We all went to Eurostar. Hahahaha! :p He's been begging(haha) us to go there since December. And even though both of us aren't much fans of non-roller-coaster-rides and slow-moving-rides, we decided to give it a try anyway since it'll be there until the 28th of this month nalang.

So there. Like, we get dizzy within less than a minute of Anchors Away and not dizzy after 3 consecutive Space Shuttles. And it's practically the reason why we just love Six Flags. Haha! I mean seriously, I can probably stand riding 5 roller coaster rides than a ferris wheel or an anchors away type of thing. I just haaaaate them. I got dizzy after riding the ferris wheel at Eurostar, so nyah. Hahaha :p Anyway, you get the picture.

Gaaad, I hate myself. And I hate Eurostar for not having any coaster rides. :(

view from the scary ferris wheel ride hahaha :p

and we went into the horror house
even though we knew it would be sooo corny (which it was, of course).
but it was fun :p we stayed inside for like 5 minutes just to take pictures :p
and at one time I said "bakit walang real people na nananakot???"
then suddenly this "mumu" from behind says WOOOOOH!!!
and i almost punched him in the face. hahahaha!
anyway, miles and i ended up taking a pic with him. hahahah :p

hard to see, but he's the one in the middle :p

taken right after Booster
yup, i'm smiling alright...
but deep down, i wanted to hurl
it was fun though ;)

I also saw Big J and his family. Hehehe. :p And I got a henna while dad was buying fish balls. :p Hahaha! :p I've always wanted a guitar tat... but NOTASBIGASTHEONEIGOT!!! grr.

woops, sorry ang dilim :p

I swear, Miles and I were so dizzy and when we got to the car --- poof! ZZZzzz all the way to the house. I'm putting all the blame on him. He was the one who suggested Booster. And that's not even the most extreme ride there!!! Hahaha! But it's all good. I had fun. :) Ooh and I'm excited for gym tomorrow. Hahaha! :p

Anyway, I have to do some Philo shit now, okthanksbye! :D

Gym-ming :p

2006-02-24T17:56:00.000+08:00

Classes were suspended today. And while the whole country is placed under a state of national emergency, Candy and I headed to the gym at 2:30 this afternoon . :p We actually started yesterday. And we were an hour early and our trainer had to eat pa so we changed our clothes and just lounged around and observed people. Hahaha :p OMG Candy is so funny. As in we just laughed the whole hour while waiting for the trainer and figuring out what to do. Hehehe. :p I haven't done any exercise in like a year. And my body fat increased 3%. Wahahahah.

Gym was pretty fun. I actually enjoyed working out. Well, of course because I'm with Candy who never fails to crack me up. Hahaha! :D Anyway, I can't wait till the next session. I think I'll be looking forward to gym days from now on. :D

Senate Field Trip

2006-02-24T11:05:00.000+08:00

So our field trip last Tuesday to the Senate was quite fun in an odd sense. I admit, I was a bit disappointed at first because Sir told me we won't be able to meet Joker Arroyo who was somewhere leading a hearing about the constitutionality of some law or something like that. I was sooooooo excited pa naman. :(

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee :p

But it was all good when I got to see Juan Flavier!!! OMG Juan Flavier is super cute! I pictured him saying Let's DOH it! half the time when we were in the session hall. Hahahaha! I wanted to come up to him and hug him and pinch his cheeks and all that. I also wanted to have my picture taken with him, although he disappeared quite too soon when the session ended. :( But still, I got to see quite a number of cool senators and quite a number of EEEEEW ones. *shudder* Hehehe. :p It was really cool to see the senators in action. We heard Biazon and Pangilinan exchange a couple of words over the microphone. They sounded like they really knew their stuff.. unlike one senator who was just sitting pretty with her teased hair, and one senator who just talked on his cellphone and walked out during Biazon and Pangilinan's discourse.

Of course, this entry wouldn't be complete without A LOT of pictures so, here they are... :p I'll upload the pictures at my multiply a bit later. ;)

in the coaster on the way to the senate

fooling around at blue wave waiting for our ice monsters :p

we're finally here!!!

hahah :p

playing with the microphones :p

me and elle // ina and abby

Senators Pangilinan, Lapid and FLAVIER!!! :D Hahah

Hahah! :p That's all.

FINALLY!!!

2006-02-19T11:35:00.000+08:00

...I am now a Fitness First member! :D Hahaha! I've been wanting for sooooo long to get a gym membership but I never really got around to actually enroll in one. Thank heavens I can finally go gym-ing. Candy and I reserved slots last Friday and we finally enrolled yesterday. Hahaha! Go us! This has to pay off. :p

...I was able to hang out with my girlfriend Jerdi (not that type of girlfriend ha!) after almost 2 months! Last time we saw each other was during our barkada's post-Christmas-slash-pre-NewYear celebration. :p We spent yesterday morning and afternoon at Rockwell doing what we do best--shopping!!! :p We ate lunch at this Korean resto, Kaya, watched a movie and caught up on each other's little issues and stuff. Hehe :p Sweet and Jo, we missed you! ICANTWAITUNTILSUMMER!!! Anwway, piiiics! (Jerdz, the rest are in my multiply. Get it there nalang. :D)

at Kaya

being silly on our way home :p

...I was able to watch Brokeback Mountain with Jerdi. Finallyyyyy!!! I've been dying to see this film since December. And omg, it. really. is. good. Quite disturbing for prudes like us, but at the same time we found ourselves immensely hooked with Jack and Ennis and their little escapades. Hahaha! :p We loved it nonetheless! Jake and Heath owwwns! :p Four thumbs up from Jerdi and me. Haha! :p I remember I had this superfangirlcrush on Heath Ledger when I was in 3rd year high school. There was this A Knight's Tale hype and I was knighting people in my class!!! Hahahaha! :p

I wish I knew how to quit you.
OMG, killer line. Hahaha!!!

taken from Yahoo! Movies

...I was also able to see my little bestfriend-- Jewel at my cousin's lola's birthday celebration. :p This girl is just sooooo unbelievably sweet and funny. She called me up the other night to tell me she has sore eyes and that she misses me already. And she's only two (or three, I think)!!! Hahaha. I love her. :p

me and ate elaine // jewel :D

me and jewel // me and ate elaine :p

...I'm done with my Pol Sci orals, which didn't turn out as bad as I thought. :p ALTHOUGH it's Monday again tomorrow which means, it's the start of another schoolhellweek. I have a 3-day microbiology lab exam, parasitology lab exam, parasitology lab report, journal critique for parasitology lecture and a history editorial presentation all lined up for this week!!! Gah. It just never ends. :/

Ditzy update.

2006-02-15T21:40:00.000+08:00

Like anyone would care about my hair. Hahaha! *rolls eyes*

Had an unexpected trip to YOU Salon at The Fort late this afternoon because mom wanted a haircut. I've been wanting to have my hair cut--well, just my bangs, last month pa but I've been putting it off because I didn't want to go to Mac (our stylist) and just ask for "bangs". Haha! But Mac convinced me to have it cut anyway. Hence, my bangs are now back and shorter than ever. :p So there, he gave me bangs and trimmed a bit of the length of my hair. That's all.

Oh man, I'm scared as hell for my Pol Sci Orals on Friday.
I'm more of a written-exam person. I hate it.
I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to having a one-on-one with the teacher.
I don't know how the hell I'm gonna study the stuff I'm supposed to study.
And I'm supposed to study/read a LOT so... yiiiikes!

Ohmygod, I can't wait for Saturdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. :D

That's all for now!
I'm off to make a paper on Imelda.
Okthanksbye! :p

Luck on the 13th.Love on the 14th.

2006-02-14T23:53:00.000+08:00

February 13 (yesterday) was quite a lucky day for me simply because our microbiology lab exam was postponed. Yes, I'm babaw like that. I didn't even bother to study for that one so nya ni nya ni nya nya. :p Hehehe. Although I promised myself that I will REALLY study for the test na talaga. I wouldn't want to disappoint my partner for the test, you know. And of course, I want an A.

And if yesterday was good, TODAY, February 14, was even better. It was hella good. Hahaha! Well, first, Dr. Chan postponed our lab exam for tomorrow, so we could go on and have our "dates" tonight daw. Hahaha! Anyway, Elle, Abs and I went to Eastwood so we could escape the cheesiness of it all. Hahahah. No, not really. We just wanted to date each other (since we're all single), get away from school and just have fun on this very strange day. And so we had a hearty lunch at Teriyaki Boy and then burned all the fat off us at Power Station. Hahaha! Seriously, that was all that we did-- we just ate and ate and ate, and then played our asses off like giddy eleven year olds.

abby orders food // elle makes kwento :p // me and elle

abby, elle and me with our guns :p // i really suck at car racing

abs, elle and me // abs and moi // on the way back to school

Anyway, since my mom was sick, dad had to cancel their reservations for their Valentine's dinner date. So just like last year, the parents decided to make it a family affair since none of us had dates. Dad just ordered take-out at Red Crab because my mom was really craving for Crab Maritess and the Schezuan crab. And I really wanted their mashed potatoes and steak. Hahaha. :p

And so the old rose tablecloth and red placemats were once again put out. Petals were scattered on the table (and some were on the floor). Kulang nalang ng candles. HAHAHAH. Okay, eww enough. And get this, we all wore RED during dinner. HAHAHAHA! I swear, my family really cracks me up at times. I mean, we just have to make a fuss about occassions and stuff just for kicks (and a couple of pictures). But I'm not complaining, because the food was sooooo yummy ang dami kong nakain. And the wine was one of the best I've ever had. :D

ack! red invasion! haha :p

notice how i was actually wearing white, but then my brother told me
they won't let me eat unless I changed :/

I love my family. I really do. And speaking of love (haha nice segue), LOVE ACTUALLY is on Star Movies right now. :p I so love that movie. Well, mainly because Hugh Grant is in it. Hahaha! But seriously, I love how the movie portrays love in its various forms and guises. And I like how easy it is for people to relate to the stories. And.. I don't know. It's just a reassuring thought when you think about what Hugh Grant/Prime Minister said: "...If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." Hahaha. :p

taken from Yahoo! Movies

Anyway, that's all.
I hope everyone had a happy day today--
lovers and loners alike. :p

Much love,

Some Random Stuff

2006-02-10T17:40:00.000+08:00

We watched Imelda for our history class this morning. No comment. And then there's microbiology class which is pretty much the usual dead subject of the mwf-schedule-day. Ech.

Anyway, I dropped by Galleria after school today and did a little shopping. I only had around P200 on me so... thank God I got plastic! Hehehe :p I hope my dad doesn't kill me for this. But I think I spent a little over 2k. Shet. And I only went to 4 stores and was there in Galle for less than an hour lang. I swear, when I shop ALONE, it's just pure evil. It does nasty things to me. And to my dad's wallet. :/ But I got naman the hankies and other stuff my dad wanted me to get for him, so I guess it's okay that I shopped na rin for myself. Hehehe. Or maybe not. :p

I was about to go home when my mom called me and wanted me to buy Gonuts Donuts that she'll give to some friends, so then I had to go all the way to Eastwood pa because I don't know the nearest Gonuts place and I can only think of Eastwood at that time. I told her I had money enough for 1 box lang and she told me she already gave the driver some money. THANKSFORTELLINGMETHISNOW.

So when I was finally there, I ordered 3 boxes of 12's and 2 boxes of 6's and when I was waiting for the guy behind the cashier to ring up my total, the other guy behind the counter suddenly stops and asks me: "Would you like a teddy bear for your boyfriend?". So I said "HAHHH?!?!"and gave him this really wierd look--which I do not even want to know how/what it looked like.

And then he says "Ahhh!" and he animatedly points out to a couple of teddy bears on display and I realized what he meant. Hahahah! I didn't even know how to react so I just laughed and politely said "no thanks". I wanted to add "...because I do not have a boyfriend." but decided to just zip it. :p haha

Wala lang. That cashier guy really cracked me up. He was totally random. :p

Munich

2006-02-09T19:54:00.000+08:00

So today turned out the way I least expected it to be. For one, the parasitology test was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Then Elle and I cut our philo class and headed straight to Eastwood to see a movie. It's so not like us to just cut a class on a whim and go see a movie unless we really planned it like atleast a week before or something. :p

Elle + Ginel
Eastwood, Feb. 9, 2006

We Power Station-ed for a while too so we could kill time. :p Hahahahah! Seriously, that was the best part. I loved it. We played with the thingies with the guns even though we badly wanted to shoot some hoops. :p Hahaha! That's the closest thing you'll get me into playing basketball. ;) WE'LL GO BACK, I'M PRETTY DARN SURE. Just to shoot hoops. Haha! We shall conquer Power Station. :D

Anyway, we ended up watching Spielberg's Munich, which was quite heavy and thought-provoking to say the least. And my gawd ha, the irony of it all! I mean, WE CUT PHILO, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. And what do we do? We end up philosophizing about the stuff in the film.

taken from Yahoo! Movies

But I honestly liked the film. Although it would have been much better if it wasn't almost 3 friggin' hours long. It has a nice message, yet there will come a point in the film that you wouldn't actually know what the message really was. I think people who actually know about the 1972 Munich incident, or those who were already alive back then would probably appreciate this movie even more. Nonetheless, it was a good film. :) But I have to admit I was disappointed goriness-wise. I mean, I was expecting a bit MORE. Hehehe. But that's just me. :p

Anyway, that's all for now. New York Minute's on HBO!!! (hahaha :p) and I gotta catch the Grammy's later. :p

By the way, my words are fading...

2006-02-05T22:54:00.000+08:00

The Used
Blue and Yellow

And it's all in how you mix the two
And it starts just where the light exists
It's a feeling that you can not miss
And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
It won't come your way, yeah

Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it

I should've DONE something, but i've done it enough
By the way, your hands were shaking
I'd rather waste some time with you

Well you never would've thought in the end
How amazing it feels just to live again
It's a feeling that you can not miss
And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
It won't come your way, yeah

Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it

I should've DONE something, but i've done it enough
By the way, your hands were shaking
I'd rather waste some time with you

I should've SAID something, but i've said it enough
By the way, my words are fading
I'd rather waste some time with you

Waste some time with you..

Gaaaaaah. I just love this song.
I heard it over NU on the way home from Shang and
I felt like posting the lyrics. :)
Besides, I haven't posted lyrics in a long time. :p
Yun lang. :D

Understanding the True Meaning of "Oh Shit"

2006-02-05T22:27:00.000+08:00

I just got this from an e-mail and omg, it seriously made me laugh. As in really. Alright, I know there could be a gajillion other ways of understanding the true meaning of "oh shit" but I really laughed at this one. Hahaha :p What is wrong with me?! Call me mababaw and I'll just say yeahthanksialreadyknowthatbye. :p

Attaaaaaaack!!! Hehehe. Kakatawa kaya. :p

Aaaaanyway, I had lunch at Fish & Co. earlier with my family sans Miles who was at CPK meeting the parents of his ball-date-to-be. *rolls eyes*

I had my semi-usual fish and chips (semi-usual coz I usually order the New York style fish and chips because it has cheese :p). I love that place even though deep down I don't really appreciate the food much. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seafood. And Fish & Co. has really good seafood. But I'd probably rather eat elsewhere for seafood. Hahaha. Labo. I guess what really draws me to this place aside from the yummy NY fish and chips is the service. Very nice service everytime. :) And the people there remember you. They really do!

They even gave me this diary-planner-thingy that's supposed to be given to people on March pa when you order the seafood platter. But they gave me one anyway because my parents got the seafood fondue. hahaha :p I love them. :p Plus the diary-planner-thingy is really cute and so... girly. :p

And YAY! NO CLASSES tomorrow because it's (Ateneo's) President's Day. Although I won't be able to go out because I'M GOING TO BE ON HOUSE ARREEEEEEST TOMORROW! :(

No, seriously, people from DFA are coming to my house to get my fingerprints and stuff so I can have my passport renewed or something. And they can't, for the love of God, specify the time they'd actually be here. They told me to stay at home from 8am til 8pm and just wait for them. What is up with that? But it's kind of my fault actually. I was supposed to have done this last last week but then I had to reschedule coz I went out that day. Hahaha :p But the girl from DFA was kind enough to resched to any date that I wanted. So I picked tomorrow. :/

Well, I really have to stay home ANYWAY because I have to read chapter 7 of my microbiology book, make a reaction/reflection paper for polsci, and study for two parasitology exams scheduled this week. Ech. Fuckthislife.

I know I'm not making sense anymore.
Goodbye. :p

Hubba! Hubba! :p

2006-01-29T18:56:00.000+08:00

Hahaha :p

If you've already seen Cheaper by the Dozen 2, then you'll remember which scene I got this entry's title from. :D

I watched Cheaper by the Dozen 2 yesterday afternoon with Ospret. :p And as expected, the movie was corny and predictable. The first one's better. But yeah, there were some cute and funny parts. (Well, everything suddenly becomes funny when Ospret's around, so I really don't know. :p) Oh, and Tom Welling and those adorable twins made the P160-ticket at Promenade, Greenhills worth it. :D

I swear, I reaaaaally love those twins. THEY'RE SOOO CUUUTE! :D
And Tom Welling is effin' hot. Which reminds me, I seriously need to find time to finish season 4 already so I can catch season 5 when Studio 23 airs it. :p ACK!
And lastly, I swear, Hilary Duff looks like a cross between a skeleton and a mother friggin' horse.

Anywaaaay, we had lunch at this Japanese place called Genji where they had this revolving thingy and you just grab color-coded plates of sushi, sashimi and whatevers. We also killed time in Fully Booked and Timezone because we had nothing to do before the 3:20 screening. After the movie, we headed straight to Cheesecake Etc. :p

Erm, I'm not really in the mood to blog properly right now.
So I guess that'll be all for today.
Time for some pictures. :)

ospie wants a bear :p

fooling around at Cheesecake Etc. haha :p

"Hataw Pacquiao!"

2006-01-22T16:11:00.000+08:00

...was written all over the posters, all over the shirts of die-hard fans, all over the minds (and hearts) of countless Filipinos, all over the Philippines.

And no doubt about it, he certainly lived up to that tagline and made hataw. Not only that, but he brought the whole nation together even for just 10 amazing rounds. :) Hahah. My parents watched pa in Megamall because some medreps gave them free tickets. So did my tito and my tita. Hahah. Faaaans.

Anyway, it's probably been said a gajillion times, but one more wouldn't hurt... Awesome job, Manny Pacquiao! The Philippines-- all 7,107 islands, are so darn proud and thankful for you and your kamao! Haha :D

Yay!
Cheers to Team Pacquiao!
Cheers to Team Philippines!
Cheers to Team Pinoy!

Woot! I hope GMA declares a holiday tomorrow.
Hahaha ;p

*******

In other quite *disappointing* news (well, for me anyway), my dad and I were just about to buy tickets earlier this afternoon, but the ticket lady in the counter told us that the "QUEEN It's A Kinda Magic" concert just got rescheduled to either April or May this year. :(

Something about the ticket sales and stuff.

God, I hope not. I really can't wait.
Anyway, I think I'll go call Ticketnet in a while just to make sure.
*pout*

I have GOT to see this.

2006-01-19T20:22:00.000+08:00

When my dad told me the other night that there was going to be a QUEEN concert here on Feb. 9, I was like, "Are you sure? No way. They can't possibly do a show here, can they? Baka Queens lang yon or Queenie or something else. But not the QUEEN!" Anyway, my dad just goes "That's what I saw from the poster eh... Just tell me if you want tickets."

WELL, WE BOTH LOVE QUEEN SO WE BETTER GET TICKETS.

And so it turns out he was telling the truth. But he didn't exactly get the details straight.

Click --> (Freddie Mercury comes 'alive')

Although after reading the article, I'm not so sure about getting those tickets anymore. :(

I mean, yeah they say it's the closest you'll get to a QUEEN live in concert. But given the chance, I'd definitely, absolutely, positively, I'm-crazy-if-I-don't, rather see Freddie Mercury and Brian May work their magic on stage. Duh.

I think I'm just worried I might be disappointed by what I'll see or something. I'll just be sorry I wasn't born in the 60's/70's. Hahah. But that's besides the point.

Then again, maybe I'll watch. (Hell yeah, I really want to. Haha!) Sure, it's nothing compared to the what QUEEN did in the 70's and the 80's. They're not even the real thing. But what the hell. I don't care if it won't really be them who'll be at the stage. I know I won't be able to watch the real deal in this lifetime din naman eh. Well for starters, Freddie Mercury's dead already. And, matatanda na sila. :p

GAAAAAAAAH. I just have to watch this!!!
Even if it means I'll have to watch it with my parents beside me.
Hahahahahaha :p

:D

2006-01-12T21:08:00.000+08:00

Sheesh. I can't think of a title. Hence, the smiley face. Hehehe. And woah, it's been ages since my last post! (Okay, so it wasn't that long ago.)

Anyway, Elle and I had this really hilarious, cheesy, and oh-my-god-we-would-just-die-of-embarrassment-if-somebody-knew-what-we-talked-about conversation this afternoon during our break before PolSci class. We've reached a new level of bonded-ness after that. :p

God, I swear! The topics we talk about! Hahahahaha! Anyway, I'm not going to disclose on that, thankyouverymuch. :p It's just that, I don't get to talk about those kinds of stuff very often. Not even at all. So, it was kind of healthy to let all those out once in a while. :p I really had fun. Too bad we didn't take a picture or something. :p And Elle, I meant every word I said about you-know-what regarding you-know-who. ;p

* * * * * * *

Oh, and Endang's party with the Starclass (and some non-starclass people) last Saturday was fun! :p Too bad some people had to cancel at the last minute because of whatever. Mich mixed the drinks and made strawberry margaritas which were soooooo good!

God, I really miss my highschool classmates. We watched videos of our class plays and productions and literally laughed our asses off at the extent of which we were willing to humiliate ourselves with all the really crazy and ridiculous stuff we did. It's quite funny that a lot had really short hair back then. Look at them now and you'll think there's a contest of who's got the longest and most walang-sabit-balik-ayos hair. :p

Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures from the party. There are some more at my Multiply. As well as at Doox's, Kikay's and Endang's. :)

me and endang :p

Darn. I soooo miss highschool. :p

Just wishing everyone a...

2006-01-01T23:52:00.000+08:00

(I look like crap but the little firework-lusis-thingy is pretty. :p)

Oh, and a Happy Birthday to my blog too. :p
Haha! My blog is now a year old. Yay. :p

Absolutely nothing bored me during the break. Not even a single incident! All those parties, get-togethers, brunches, lunch-outs, dinners, spontaneous trips, shopping trips, foodtrips, winetrips, trips to the salon yada yada yada... :D FUN FUN FUN. :)

The only annoying part is the fact that Christmas break is TOOOOOO damn short. 2 weeks!!! HELLO?! WHAT IS THATTTT? Only 4 (?) days left before school starts again! FOUR days! Christmas break is always so lightning fast. I haven't even had any REST-as-in-bumming-around-the-house yet! Plus, there's a ton of schoolwork waiting for me come January 4. Talk about major bummerage. Oh well. I ain't complaining (yet). I'm having a blast and I'm loving every millisecond of the Christmas break. I love Christmaaaaaaaaaaas! :D The holidays are definitely one of the best times of the year. :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAH! :D

Anyway, picture overloaaaaad. Hehehe. Sorry. :p I seriously wanted to put all the pictures I have of my Christmas break in here. But obviously, I can't. Good thing there's Multiply! Hahahaha! Gotta love Multiply. :p Anyway, I'll upload the rest of the pictures in my multiply sa January na since I can't post anymore because of the stupid 150picturespermonthallowance. :) --> Okay? Ate Cel, you can get it there nalang. Tell Ate Elaine to add me. :p And barx, I'll make our Multiply on January too. :)

Anyway again, I made all these last night because I had a hard time sleeping. Shopping hangover. Haha! Hence, photoshopping galore! Natuwa ako eh. Hahaha. And it worked! I felt sleepy after my 3rd collage. :p

There. More pics to follow. Or whatever.
I do hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas break!
Love, Laughs, Hugs and Kisses to all! :D
~ginel

happy new year everyone!!!

Merry Christmas! :)

"...And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
to kids from one to ninety two.
Although it's been said
many times, many ways...
Merry Christmas to you."

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
xoxo, ginel :p

I'm getting a perm on Wednesday...

2005-12-19T19:09:00.000+08:00

...I think.

I went to Shangri-la this afternoon with my cousin Elaine (who by the way, talked me into getting a perm) to inquire at Hairbytes for the perming thing, and to do some last-minute-gift-shopping as well. :p I'm really confused right now. Should I get a perm? GAAAH.

And my dad kept on saying that he's tired of my hair always up in a ponytail or in a bun. So he wants me to have it permed. I told him before that I'm fine with my hair. Really. And I don't care if the waves are becoming too obvious already. My hair is naturally wavy anyway. Of all people, he should know. I got the wavy-hair-genes from him after all. :p

But yeah, I would probably get a perm, just for a change. I mean, I've had my hair relaxed two times already. And getting my hair relaxed didn't help the fact that I have really thick hair. But I kind of want to have my hair relaxed again, too. I think. Argh. Iseriouslyhatemyhairnowthankyouverymuch.

Argh. I CAN'T DECIIIIIIIIIIIDE!

********

In other news, today was my last day in school!
Cheers to Sir Fonceca for giving us a freecut in Microbio lab. :D
CHRISTMAS BREAK OFFICIALLY STARTS! :D
Okay, not really.

Ateneo starts Christmas break on the 21st pa. But all my classes (except one) are freecut anyway so I won't go to school anymore tomorrow and on Wednesday. :P Who would want to attend a 4:30-6:00 PolSci class anyway?! :p

Happy happy happy, TOSH and Renzo.

2005-12-13T20:00:00.000+08:00

This has been a pretty swell week. Okay, I know it's only Tuesday but what the heck. The practical test in microbiology lab yesterday was okay, I guess. We did some slide staining and stuff. Our teacher gave us five grades for the different components of the test. You can only get either an A or an F for each part.

I got 4 A's and 1 F (stupidnegativestainingtechnique!), for a grand total of B. But our group has an 'Acid-Fast suspicious' slide so we might be able to push for an A. *crosses fingers*

And this morning, our parasitology long test got postponed. :D Thank God! Coz I wasn't prepared. :p I studied, yes. But I don't think it was enough for me to get a decent grade. So there. Happy happy happy. :)

Anyway, Elle and I had lunch at The Old Spaghetti House this afternoon. It was my first time to eat there and I pretty much liked it. :) Elle has eaten there a LOT of times already, being the 'Spaghetti Queen' that she is (she almost always orders the same thing every time. :p hahah joke lang Elle!) :p

(elle and moi)

Anyway, we saw this really cute kid. His name is Renzo. He was really friendly and cute and i-want-to-pinch-his-cheek-y. He even went up to our table and said hi. He waved to Elle and tried to borrow my cellphone. Haha! I wanted to squeeze him! :p We wanted to take a picture with him but his father(we think) was there so Elle just shot a video of him. Here are some screencaps:

Sorry for the low res-iness. Mas cute siya in person. Haha! Gawd, I hope I don't sound like a pedo or anything. :p

(when he was trying to borrow my phone. aww, puffy cheeeeeeks!)

I just hope I don't jinx the rest of the week. Yun lang. :)

Random whatevers.

2005-12-08T22:58:00.000+08:00

Okay, not really.
More like, juicy gossips and entertainment & celebrity news. :p
These are just the headlines in bullets, though.
You'll have to Yahoo! or Google search them if you want the dirt.

And I thought they'll live happily ever after.

What? After 24 years of marriage?!

Three words: "saw it coming".

Okay, more split-ups.
Typical hollywood. What's new, right?
But here's something you don't hear (or read) everyday:

Aww, how nice. While everyone's splitting up, Eminem gets back with his wife. :p

Anyway, there's LOTS more where those came from.
But the rest are just you're typical tabloid-worthy-hollywood-rumour-ones.
But this is one goss/rumour which caught my eye:

OMG. How cool is that? I hope it's true. I hope it'll be good!

Okay, I should stop now. Chismis is bad for the health. Bye! :D

Best directions ever.

2005-12-07T15:58:00.000+08:00

Abby got a lock for our locker.
And this is what's written at the back of the package.
Hahah! Best damn set of directions I've ever read. :p
Kung hindi kayo matawa... corny kayo. ;p

Oh, and laboratory in parasitology was the best part of the day. We dissected earthworms, toads, pig intestines and cockroaches (well, the others did). And oh my gawd, this sounds rather geeky, but I can't believe I actually enjoyed looking at the ciliated parasites. :D Hahah! Well, what can I do? I'm a biology major. :p

New Layout.

2005-12-01T19:37:00.000+08:00

Finally.

Not that spiffy, but I like it. :)

I made this during the sembreak. But when school started and with all the stuff that's been happening, tinamad ako. *rolls eyes*

And because I have no life, I decided to join the bandwagon. Yes, I now have a Multiply account. Thanks to Elle. And everyone else who kept on bugging me to make one. :p Heheh.

Click here. (I know, lame ass title, but it's catchy anyway.) :p If you have an account, add me or whatever.

:'(

2005-11-20T17:46:00.000+08:00

We buried my other grandfather (mother's side) this afternoon. He died last Thursday morning at around 3 am.

I can't believe that in a span of 1 1/2 months, my grandfathers on both sides passed away. And what really hurts me the most is that all of my cousins were able to kiss him and say goodbye to him minutes before he died. I think only the three of us-- me and my two brothers, were not able to do so.

I hate having to regret not doing things to loved ones. I wish I was there when he died. I wish I was able to hear him say my name one last time. I wish I was able to say goodbye to him, kiss him and tell him how much I love him, one last time. Still, I am thankful to have known him for my 20 years of existence. Being his eldest grandchild, I guess I am very lucky that I got to spend many years with him.

I will really miss him. I will miss everything about him. His giant glasses, the way he laughs, the way he speaks, the way he does his hair, how he dresses, how he spoils you and makes you feel like you're his only apo, how he makes asikaso for us whenever we would visit him and lola...

I will miss him.
And I will forever cherish my memories of him.

Rest in peace, Lolo Gino.
I know you are now in a better place.
I love you.
We all love you.

So long, sembreak. You've been a real darling :)

2005-11-13T02:51:00.000+08:00

Sigh. Tomorrow, I reunite with reality.
I'm really going to miss the sembreak.
I'm gonna miss a lot of stuff about it.
But what the heck.
I had fun.
And that is all that matters. :P

Just let the pictures do the talking. :)
I'm really gonna miss:

...and everything-everyone-every place else under the sembreak sun (and moon).

Yun lang. :p

Ah, onga. By some miracle, registration was not that bad last Friday. Konti lang. But yeah, I got almost all the classes-timeslots-teachers I wanted. Whee! I hope it'll be a good semester ahead. :D

Please. :)

Kung Phooey!

2005-10-24T22:08:00.000+08:00

I was watching this film kanina sa Star

Friends, a Hangover, and a Korean Costume.

2005-10-24T16:03:00.000+08:00

Excuse the corny-ish title. Can't really think of a good one right now.

Anyway, one of my childhood friends will be migrating to Australia next month. And since we haven't seen each other for ages, we decided to give her a surprise despedida party at Rica's place. God, I really missed these people. :) Too bad some weren't able to come. And grabe. The tequila! AMAZING. I can't remember the last time I had a couple of those.

magic sing ~ pictures ~ kwentos ~ tawanan ~food ~ barbecue(!) ~ booze
we shoud do this every week!
i hope our other plans push through din. :)

But ouchies, I hate hangovers. And I only had about 4 hours of sleep because I promised my mom that I would go with my brother to their UN activity thingy in school the next morning-- and take pictures of him in a Korean costume. Haha! Kaya ayan, take a look! :)

Happy United Nations Day!
peace!!!

I know, I know. I look like an idiot. :p

What's my age again?

Why would you wish that on me?
I never want to act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

Heheheh. I know, yikes. it's been almost a week now, and I still can't believe I've been a creature of this planet for 2 decades already. Anyway...

Thank you so much to those who remembered. :)
You guys really made my day.

Barx, thanks! I really had fun pigging out that night. :D Hahah! I can't believe we stayed at Brazil Brazil for 3 hours. Hahah! Too much fooooood!!! And the hotel.. wheee! We should really do that more often. :) Too bad wala si Sweet. :p Ohwell. There's always a next time!

So there. I've been really busy the past week. Too much stuff going on. :D And even more stuff to look forward to. Yay!

Sembreak, I love you.

Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I just wanted to update my blog. Hahah! Enjoy the pictures! :)

Nga pala, I'm working on a new layout. Hopefully it will be up by the end of this week. Weheh. :p

Ooh-La-La.

Hmm.. Ano nga ba?
Wehehe. :p

Woah. I'm turning the big 2-0 in a few days. Goodness. I can't believe I've been a creature in this planet for almost two decades now. Eek! Anyway, now's not a good time to feel nostalgic and cathartic and all that. I still have two more requirements to finish for our dev bio lab class. Darnit. :/

Almost there, ginel. Almost there. :p

Oh and one more thing. Random numbers are out.
Check them here.
Hurray for my random number!!!

Bush
Letting The Cables Sleep

You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

*sigh* what a beautiful song.

damn you, mick. hehehe.
kasalanan mo 'to. LSS tuloy ako.
pero okay lang. :p

and oh yes, that song is just perfect.
heaven IS on the way...
...after hell week, that is.

shiiite! this is it.
less than 5 grueling days left to spend in school!!!

gaaaaaah.
fuck you, hell week.

Goodnight, Lolo.

2005-10-05T17:16:00.000+08:00

Thank you to those who sent out their

God bless you all. :)

Sleep well, Lolo.
Watch over us.
Rest in peace.

hehehe.. well, with a last name like that, who wouldn't want to hire him?

I was kinda rooting for Marty. But yeah, I somehow knew JD would get the part. JD's the only one that's actually bagay to be the lead singer of INXS. And that episode where he sang INXS's Mystify... the moment he started to sing that song... that was it. The job was his.

I was really hoping Marty would land the job... I mean, hello?! The man can sing anything! Okay, I know that's exaggerating it but from Pink Floyd to The Killers to Nirvana to Britney Spears, he's done it (well, on that show, that is). But yeah, he was just too grunge-y and scream-y for INXS. :p Oh well. Only time will tell whether INXS made the right decision or not.

Hats off to JD. He earned it. And hats off to Mig and Marty na rin. Awesome job. :)

the final three:
MiG. Marty. JD.

Man, I can't believe it's over.
Now I have nothing to watch on Wednesday and Thursday nights anymore. :(
Darnit.

Anyway, back to reality.
Genetics long test tomorrow.
5 chapters.
Farewell, world.

Veezee.

2005-09-08T19:22:00.000+08:00

sorry, i just want to share...

i gained 5 pounds.

hell yeah!!!

*silly dance*

okay. so, i was never one to weigh myself regularly. i don't know. i just didn't care much. and i guess i just never bothered to anyway coz i get so frustrated that i eat and eat but nothing happens. and i get even more frustrated when my parents get frustrated about my weight. it just drives me insane.

i don't know. i never really saw the point of these weighing scale thingies. they just make life miserable. but oh well, maybe that's just me. heheh. i don't even remember the last time i weighed myself. probably during physical-fitness-for-women days a.k.a. PE pa nung second sem, last year. or maybe it was one of those nights when my dad would just barge in my room holding a scale to see whether i eat or not. *shrug*

shux. only 3 pounds to go and i'm underweight no more. hallelujah! :D

kaya lang, why do i get this feeling that my hair constitutes around 30% of my weight? ^&*$@# kakapalan kasi ng buhok ko eh. grr.

but still,
i gained 5 pounds.
yun lang.
shet, ambabaw.
and i know you don't care so..
moment over. :)

Aaaaaaaand...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA MARY! :)

Hahaha!

2005-09-05T19:48:00.000+08:00

Gawd. These cracked me up.

Maan, i think you should get a "Team Pitt" tee. ;p
...okay, that didn't sound quite right.
"Team Brad" nalang.
Hahaha! :p

Aaaaaaaaand...

Happy happy birthday RJ!!! :p
Weheh :p I wanted sana to post your gateway pic here eh.
Kaya lang, baka magalit ka. :p
Nyahah.

Lunchdate! :D

2005-09-01T16:57:00.000+08:00

Had a lunchdate at Sushi-ya with my dad after my history class yesterday. :) He's in Greece right now. Gah. *inggit* I've always, always wanted to go to Greece. Heck, if this trip had been scheduled a month later, as in October something-- as in sembreak, then I would have been there with him. Shiite. I would have been SO there, darnit. But alas, hindi pwede. :'(

Well, I will have my time. ;p

But I'ma go sleep now.
Had a rough night.
Namilosopiya ako all night and now my brain's pretty much dead, thankyouverymuch.

Anyway, piiiiics... :p

Nyehehe.

Weheh. Lookie, dad's a camhorrr too. Nyahah :p
I'll miss daddy. :(

To those who love to daydream...

2005-08-27T17:36:00.000+08:00

Read, read, read!!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The parts of the brain that young, healthy people use when daydreaming are the same areas that fail in people who have Alzheimer's disease... (click here for full article)

Shiiite! Who knew all those happy or happily morbid head trips and reveries you generate now would trigger forgetful episodes later on?

Sheesh. I better quit daydreaming then. :O

[EDIT]: No classes on Monday. Yay! Hmm, now, what to do? :p

17 ka na. :p

2005-08-22T22:31:00.000+08:00

Happy, happy, happy 17th birthday
to one of the few people
whom I love (and hate) the most:
my brother.
nyahahah

Gawd, I can't believe you're 17 already. Ewww.
By the way, I know you liked my gift. :p
So, you better get me a nice one too on my birthday.
Hahaha! Kidding...

...NOT! ;)

PS. Oh, and just so you know, may damit ako sa picture na yan. Hindi lang kita. Weheh. :p

QC Day. Barx Day. Happy Day.

2005-08-20T11:42:00.000+08:00

What better way to spend QC Day than to spend it with the barx (someone's missing though *ahem*).

Jerdi, Jo and Me

We missed you, Sweeeeeet!

Gah. If only QC Day happens once a week... ;p

Nga pala. Hahah! I went ballistic yesterday coz I finally, finally, finally got me a Led Zep top-- and a tanktop at that. I've been dying to get a hold of one. The design's not that awesome though, but I was so giddy that I just had to buy two. :D

Thank God that atleast now I don't have to settle for those huge, ill-fitting, über loose, i'm-gonna-look-like-a-walking-hanger guy shirts. Sheesh. Nyahah. Wheee. :p

Puff.

2005-08-09T23:27:00.000+08:00

This is all your fault, Elle.
It's been playing in my head non-stop since Genetics class.
But I thank thee for it.
Nyahahah. You know what I mean. ;)
Love ya, biatch. :p

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Oh, and for the record. The song is not about smoking pot or marijuana or whatever. Just leave the poor dragon alone.

Yuck, affected.
Hahah. :p

I love grapes.

"Willy Wonka here he iiiiiiiiiis..."

"semi-sweet and nuts" -- hahahah!
yep, he's no Gene Wilder, that's for sure.

Depp and Burton.
like peanut butter and jelly.
nyahah. :p
what? they've made like 5 movies already.

i love the book.
i love the Gene Wilder original.
i love this Johnny Depp-Tim Burton remake. (it's not totally faithful to the book, though)

but as i always say, nothing beats the original. :p

i could fill up a page-worth about how i love the book and the Gene Wilder version. and i could fill up a page-worth about how i enjoyed Tim Burton's take. yet, i can also fill up a page-worth about how i hate what he did to the story and to Willy Wonka.

but that's that.

whatever.
i love it, nonetheless.

i'd watch this in the theaters again even just for the oompa-loompas.

hilarious. :p

Jerdipop!

2005-08-01T21:43:00.000+08:00

Whee! No classes today, thanks to St. Ignatius. :p So I spent the day at Shang with one of my best girlfriends (friend na girl ha! heheh) for some much needed and very well deserved rest and relaxation. :D Haaay, nothing beats girl bonding-- shopping and kwentos galore over Starbucks. :D Now I'm really broke. But I ain't complaining. :p Oh and I bumped into Maan and Bern, too. Hahah! Hi girls! ;)

wala lang.

Darnit Jerdi. Those 5 hours we spent seemed like 5 minutes. Nyahahah. But atleast I had fun. :P Can't wait till the 19th! Sana complete ang napakalaking barkada natin. ;) Hahahahah!

It's not fair.

2005-07-30T15:31:00.000+08:00

It's a long weekend and
I think i'm gonna be sick.
Boo-hoo.

I need retail therapy.

2005-07-29T17:46:00.000+08:00

Sampaloc.

2005-07-23T14:57:00.000+08:00

Geez, I've been craving for sampaloc since last night.

I don't care if it's sampaloc from the caf,
from Aloi's, or from God-knows-where...
I want a pack. (or two)

Heheh. :P

Dood.

Angas.

I saw this film yesterday, and I didn't think I'd actually like it. But I did. I had no expectations whatsoever, and the fact that I'm taking up Developmental Biology/ Embryology and Genetics this sem made it quite interesting, to tell you the truth. [yack, geeky! :P] Of course you can't dismiss the nifty gadgets and the well-orchestrated car chase and other fight scenes in the film. Galing nun! :P The movie has a pretty decent plot and would probably make you think a lot. And surprisinlgly, there were some funny parts thrown here and there.

A lot of people are saying that the film is not original, though. Who cares? Does originality even exist nowadays?

Don't read below this part unless you've seen the film. :p
This blog's been in dire need of a long post. Kaya eto. This one's not that long though.:p

Okay. Ewan Mcgregor, for me at least, does a wonderful job playing the two very different yet very identical Lincoln characters. He was pretty believable with all his innocent questioning and stuff. And ang cool ng Scottish accent niya. Hahah! :P Scarlett Johansson was pretty much okay, I guess.

Buscemi (McCord) is the comic relief of the movie. He’s really funny. His lines are funny. :p And that guy from the movie Amistad... he’s so intense! (especially when he speaks) And he played his part really well.

The bad guy was believable too. I’ve seen him before-- playing bad guy roles too. I know I have. I just can’t remember which movies. Grr.

Oh, and Michael Clarke Duncan was simply brilliant. He had a really, really small role but man, those scenes are the type you won’t easily forget. [I don't wanna dieeeeeeeee!!!] His sincerity really gets to you when he acts. Michael Clarke Duncan was the first one to make me cry over a friggin' trailer. I know, how lame. :P But yeah. I cried over the trailer of The Green Mile. I decided not to see that film though. I figured it would be too heavy for me to handle... and that I'd cry through the whole of it. :p

Anyway, back to The Island.

It is pretty obvious that the film raises questions on the issue of cloning. And it's really amazing and scary at the same time, how fast science and technology are actually progressing. But I think that more importantly, what the film is pointing out is the reality of life and death-- the reality of man's basic need to survive. Hiyeeees. Heheh. I guess it would all boil down to the question of "what if we could?"

Diba? I mean, if you could afford it, or if you or your loved one needed it, would you consider getting an "insurance policy" (clone)?

Wala lang.

And what is up with all the advertising shit in the film? I mean come on. One or two products would be forgivable, you know. Pero ang dami eh. PUMA. NBC. Apple. MSN (which I only noticed when RJ pointed it out). Xbox (I want that kind of Xbox, though). Cadillac. Chevrolet (counted ba 'to?). Nokia (<--which is quite understandable considering Neo used one of these in the Matrix and that a lot of leads in films use cellphones anyway...). Clearly, what's up with that? Is Microsoft going to own everything in the future and take over the world?! Weheheh. :P But I doubt that the gadgets and technology in the film would be anything like what we'll be having in the near future. Although that would be nice.

Then again, who knows right?

PS. Anyway, does anyone know if this will be shown here in the Philippines? Or atleast someone I can borrow a copy from? :P

This film is loosely based on the last hours of Kurt Cobain. Emphasis on loosely, people. The film, as they claim, is totally fictional.

Yeah right. I think the stark resemblance of the lead character's life to Cobain's is quite undeniable. Duh?!

And I heard there's not much dialogue in this film. Interesting, since we all know how 'quiet' Kurt Cobain is. And I heard that this controversial film is not worth watching. And that this was a blatant attempt to recreate what happened. And that this was a rather insolent way to portray to the sad life of a legendary music-maker. Well, it probably is.

Gawd, I hear too many things.

By the way, you'll know what dood means when you've seen The Island. ;P

Flush it all away.
