• History 18 (Western History, Jose Ma. Edito Tirol) - astig teacher, madaming masayang anecdotes,

From experience, and hearsay, panalo mga History teachers ng Ateneo. You realize that history really is all about perspective. You learn to appreciate yung mga ginawa ng ninuno natin tapos isusumpa mo ng bongga yung mga kurakot na nagpapahirap sa atin ngayon.

• Japanese Films, Johanna Zulueta - ASTIG mga films! Dito ko natutunan mag-modify ng character spacing para humaba yung paper ko! Hahahaah!

28. Fave kainan?
Di ko maalala pangalan... basta sa Caf yun. Yung malapit sa Chem Bldg na side siya nakapwesto. Nagtitinda ng Chicken Strips with sangkatutak na gravy at Refillable Orange Juice.

29. How do you get to school?
Run/Walk. Nung biglang bawal na tumawid sa Gate 3... Tryk na, wala pa kasing overpass dati jan sa may Burgundy. Super shet!

30. Are you always at the lib?
Yep. Library ang sagot sa research, boredom, at antok.

31. Ever gone to the infirmary when you were sick?
No. Went there once when I was sleepy though. Pretended to have migraine. Pero medyo di naman siya kasinungalingan kasi masakit na ulo ko sa sobrang antok.

• the campus itself... so purty.

45. Ano ang ayaw mo?
Mga teachers na di mo alam kung bakit tinanggap ng Ateneo in the first place... di ko alam kung sobrang may recession lang ba talaga dati ng mga Physics teachers na matino.. o kung gusto lang ng Physics Department na maexpose rin kami sa mga pesteng banong teacher.

46. Have you ever bought anything at the A-shop?
Yuhuh. A planner for myself and a shirt for Papa... na ako rin ang gumamit mwahaha!

Reminder to Self 004: Tulo Laway for More Laray**

** Laray = Waray for Lakwatsa

Kagagaling lang namin ng Baguio (which was uber-fun... super classic Baguio outing lang talaga! Hahahaa! Kaso uber-gastos rin ako sa pagkain! In fairness kung di ko lang tinodo yung lamon ko... super tipid yung lakad na yun! Eh kaso masarap kumain bakit ba?! Calling all peoples... post niyo naman sa multiply yung pictures hahaha! para pde ko magrab at ipost dito sa blog ko yung favorites ko! hahahaha!)... at eto na naman ako nangangati na naman lumayas sa kung saan.

My scheduled lakwatsa for the year:
1) Bohol (August)
2) Kota Kinabalu (October)

May nangungulit sa akin sumama sa akyat sa Pulag sa end of Feb... kaso... ahm... di pa aker ready.. I thunk... I still need to train. Pero sabagay... tatakbo na rin naman ako ngayong Feb... so feeling ko kaya ko na rin yung Amabangeg by end of Feb... EH KASO!! TINATAMAD PA AKO MAGLUTO! hahahaha! I miss Ace!

Si Ace ang aking personal entertainment system and personal assistant... pag kasama siya okay lang mag-tantrums ako ala Kai! Mwahahaha! Ok, di naman masyadong ala-Kai kasi baka itulak ako sa bangin nun pag tinapunan ko siya ng yogurt! Hahahahah! More like.. pde ako mag-inarte more than my usual self pag kasama ko siya umakyat kasi halimaw lang talaga si Ace! Kelangan ko lang mag-hiwa hiwa ng mga gulay tapos siya na magluluto... hahaha! Kesa ako yung magluluto ng buong meal... mas masaya maghiwa-hiwa lang no... may feeling of "tumulong ako" pero di rin naman naka-depend sa yo yung energy source ng ibang tao masyado! Hahaha!

Maarte na ako ngayon bakit?! Pota! Hahaha! HUWATHAPPENDTOMEEEH?!?! Taena sobrang tamad ko lang talaga ngayon... o baka kasi matagal na akong di nakakaakyat... medyo nakakalimutan ko na yung joy of climbing... at naalala ko lang ngayon yung dread ko of cooking and preparing food sa labas ng tent on a very cold February night in Pulag... which, as I recall, will lead you to eat lupa and damo pag very clumsy ka...

I digress, anyway... as I was saying naglalaway na naman ako for more lakwatsa... may nagreply kasi sa akin yung isang pinagtanungan ko about Mt Kinabalu... tapos biglang sinuggest niya yung Via Ferrata na Walk the Torq. Pwede rin daw yung Mesilau Trail if ever. Eh wala naman ako balak mag-via Ferrata kasi medyo mahalers kesa kung aakyat ka lang... tapos biglang nakasulat sa email 50% muna singil tapos next half is 1 month before the climb na... tapos napaisip ako... POTA! minsan lang ako aakyat ng Mt. Kinabalu... di ko naman dream gawing yearly ang Kinabalu (gaya ng ginawa ko sa Pulag for the past 4 years) kasi di naman ako gawa sa ginto... kung kumikinang man ako... ito'y di dahil gawa ako sa mamahaling materyal... more likely... dahil lang yun sa innate star factor ko! AHAHAHAHAHHAH! HAYLAVET!

Pero anyway ulit... siyempre basa basa ulit ako on Via Ferrata... at habang nagreresearch ako.. may isa pa palang route ang Via Ferrata... ito naman yung Low's Peak Circuit. And according dun sa isang drowing (may descriptions naman yung Walk the Torq at Low's Peak Circuit... kaso di ko maabsorb masyado... mas madali intindihin ang drowing... gaya nga ng sabi ng Michael Learns to Rock... "Paint My love... you should paint my love... it's a picture of a thousand sunseheeetss!!" Hahahah!), mukhang mas sulit yung Low's Peak... nagtanong pa ako ulit dun sa nag-email sa akin kung kaya pa rin ba yung Mesilau-Timpohon na Trail even with Low's Peak Circuit na Via Ferrata.. wala pang reply...

Taena! feeling ko kung pde yung Low's Peak Circuit with Mesilau-Timpohon trekking... HOMAYGEDS! kelangan super duper extra fit akong umalis ng Pilipinas ng October! Kelangan tipong pag mag-Ambangeg ako with a full pack (na di porter ang nagdadala! Kelangan malinaw!)... 1 hour lang nasa camp site na ako dapat... Hahahaha sarap maging ambisyosa!

HAY SHIYET!

Things to do for a successful Climb:
1) Dapat by May, I should be doing 10K runs 3x a week na di ako namamatay after the run.
2) Dapat by August, I should be able to do 15K runs 2x a week na di rin ako durog after the run.

Reminder re my reminders:
1) TAKE CARE OF MY KNEES!
2) I should be able to train with minimal impact to my knees as possible.
3) 1 = 2 lang naman basically (see numeric list, directly above this line)... pero gusto ko ng lists eh bakit?!

EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WEENAH!

EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WAH!

ORA! ORA! ORA RAH!

NAOMI! NAOMI!

RAH RAH RAH!

Chine-cheer ko sarili ko! BAKIT!?!?!?! Hahhaaha!

HAYMZOEGZAYTED WENS EGEN!!!

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

How Machiavellian Are You?

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

Hmmmm....

The Movie Of Your Life Is An Indie Flick

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

The Movie Of Your Life Is An Indie Flick

You do things your own way - and it's made for colorful times.
Your life hasn't turned out how anyone expected, thank goodness!

Your best movie matches: Clerks, Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite

Wala akong comment dun sa description...

Pero wala pa akong napanood sa mga movie matches.. I tried watching Napoleon Dynamite nung medyo sumikat siya... pero di ko pa na-appreciate yung humor niya dati... I wonder kung ngayon matatawa na ako sa kanya... or nakakatawa nga ba dapat yun?

Your Blog Should Be Yellow

Eto... I'm succumbing to online quizzes ulit kasi nauubusan na ako ng gagawin sa internet. Hehehehe... nakita ko kasi sa isang blog rin to... mwahehers!

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Your Blog Should Be Yellow

You're a cheerful, upbeat blogger who tends to make everyone laugh.
You are a great storyteller, and the first to post the latest funny link.
You're also friendly and welcoming to everyone who comments on your blog.

Una sa lahat... di kaya ako nagpopost ng LATEST funny links... The funnly links I usually post are outdated, but I post them anyway kasi natatawa pa rin ako sa kanila kahit 500 years na ang nakalipas.

Pangalawa, di ako friendly. At ayoko ng spam comments. SO I AM NOT WELCOMING TO EVERY ONE. Joketime naman tong Quiz na nasagutan ko. Although marami nga nagsasabi na nakakatawa DAW ako magkwento... pero sa tingin ko... nakakatawa lang sa kanila... not because of how I write... it's more likely that they imagine me saying what I wrote kaya sila natatawa... AM I RIGHT? OR AM I SUPER DUPER RIGHT!?

I KNOW RIGHT!?!

GUSTO KO NA UMUWI!!!!

Homaygeds! Kating-kating kati na ako umalis ng office.

Unfortunately, 330PM na ako nakarating ng office kanina. 230PM ako umalis ng bahay, usually office na ako by 3Pm pag nag-taxi ako... EH KASO....

Super weird yung manong driver nung nasakyan kong taxi kanina! AS IN!!! Taena!

Nung start di ko napansin kasi medyo traffic so medyo expected na na mabagal yung takbo ng taxi... kaso napansin ko di siya sumisingit... titingnan niya lang yung kabilang lane na medyo umaandar pero di siya mag-eefort lumipat ng lane (which, as we know, is weird for taxi drivers)... isip ko baka bago siya dito sa Manila... so sige keri lang.

Eh sobrang bagal... so napapapikit na rin ako... so pumipikit lang ako for a while tapos didilat rin ako to check the time... anakngshet.. pagtingin ko sa watch ko... 2:50PM na... NASA MAY EARLY PART PA LANG KAMI NG LIBIS (galing Katipunan)!!!! Inisip ko.. taena di naman ganun kabagal yung traffic... at kung ako yung nagdrdrive... kahit praning praning ako eh kaya ko sumingit.

So tinitingnan ko na yung manong kung bakit sobrang bagal siya mag-drive... biglang HOMAYGEDSSSSSSSSSSS!! Alam niyo yung mga laruang aso at pusa na nilalagay sa kotse kasi nag-je-jelly moves yung leeg nila???? GUMAGANUN NA YUNG MANONG!!!!!

TAENA! Eh yung mga taong antok di naman ganun yung moves nila... more like slowly babagsak yung head sa side tapos pag naaalipungatan... sharp move to straighten up (YES! I KNOW kasi expert ako dun sa mga Physics class ko at pati na rin sa bus minsan!) Tapos nung tiningnan ko yung kamay niya... parang yung deformed... kasi parang naninigas tapos hindi siya nakahawak sa manibela ng tama... tapos yung mata niya rin medyo namumula...

So iniisip.. ko taena retarded ba tong sinasakyan ko o bangag... iniisip ko ok na yung mentally challenged na may driver's license wag lang bangag kasi mas nakakatakot. Maya-maya... humihikab na siya... so di ko na tuloy alam kung bangag ba siya... antok... or talagang retarded lang.

Eventually nakarating kami sa may Petron na malapit na sa McKinley... biglang kinausap niya ako... tinatanong kung kakanan na ba kami sa may Petron. So sinabi ko oo.

Tapos biglang nag-sabi: HAAAAAAY! NAKAKAANTOK!

Pota! MANONG HALLERNESS!! SANA KANINA MO PA SINABI PARA KINAUSAP KITA at di ako hina-heart attack sa kaba!!!

Taena... No taxi for me later. I will commute. Mahirap na mag-taxi ulit tapos ganun masakyan ko ulit.. hello lang!

Baguio Come to Me!

Badminton and My Ass

Pag matagal-tagal akong di nakapaglaro ng badminton... right forearm ko yung sumasakit.

These days... pag naglalaro ako ng badminton... pwet ko ang sumasakit kinabukasan...

Huwatda?!

Somebody Told Me

Hahahahhaha! Taenang lyrics to...

I thought I heard wrong, because I usually get the lyrics of songs wrong... but apparently I heard it right this time.

An excerpt of the chorus of

SOMEBODY TOLD ME

by THE KILLERS

Well somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

May tama ka!

Dying is easy. Living is Tough.
- Jack LaLanne.

To Climb or Not to Climb? That is the Question!

Potaaaaaaaaaa!!! Di pa ako ready umakyat ulit! October pa ako ready!!!

Tinatamad pa ako magluto sa bundok! Tinatamad pa ako umakyat ng bundok! Tinatamad pa ako tumakbo para maging ready sa akyat!!!

Eh kaso 'tong si Juani (HS dabarkads) nangungulit na sumama daw ako... kasama niya rin pala nag-reserve ng slot sa Talikasan yung isang kaklase niya ata sa Chem nung college. TAENA!!! Ayoko ng may nangungulit sa akin... KASI NAPAPAISIP AKOOOOOOOOO!!! Lalo na kung gusto ko gawin pero tinatamad lang ako gawin!!!

Tapos biglang nagtext... kasama na daw si Jeannelle (HS Dabarkads na mas ka-close ko nung HS...na favorite yung Backstreet... habang ako naman Boyzone... pero di kami nag-usap for a year dahil sa Code Red! Pota! Hahaha! Battle of the Boy Bands! Leche!) AYAN TULOY!!!

Ayoko nga sumama sa Indra na Pulag eh! Shiyet!! Nagsabi na ako kina Sir Jing at Joy na di ako magpu-Pulag kasi tipid mode ako...(kasi akala ko may kotse pa ako till Feb nung tinanong nila ako... saka di ko na rin sinabi na tinatamad ako para mukha lang akong lakas! hahahaah! hilig ko talaga magpanggap!) tapos biglang sasama ako kina Juani (we'll at least wala akong kelangan alagaan masyado kina Juani kasi Talikasan yung sasamahan namin... so sagot na ng mga GL sa UPM sila Juani... mwahehehe! tamad much?!)...

HAY HAM SO CAHNFYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSTTTTT!!!! Gusto ko sumama pero tamad pa ako! Kung sumama ako... kelangan ko na tumakbo ng seryosohan kung ayaw ko matulad sa akyat ko last year kung san ginamit ko si Kai para magmukhang LAKAS lang ako! SHETDATPAK! Hahaha! Labyu Kai!

SO... TO CLIMB OR NOT TO CLIMB? DO I? or DO I NOT?

What makes a great but annoying movie?

... when you see how painful some things are ... yet, you know that you could have made those same decisions (as the characters) if you were in those same situations...

POTA! ANG SAKIT NG MATA KO!

Aftershock - not as bawl-and-shout-nakakaiyak as when I watched Moments to Remember... but still as ouch-to-the-eyes and trembling-stomach-muscles-(yes! I still have my stomach muscles)-while-trying-not-to-cry-so-much.

It hurts the heart! demmit!

Crybaby

Pota! Ang alam ko si Kai ang pinakaiyakin sa aming lahat... pero taena...

IKAW NA! Ikaw na ang umiyak sa trailer ng Hachiko sa HBO! Hahahhaahhaha!

Bago ako umalis ng bahay... mag-da-daily facial routine na ako dapat (i.e. toner + moisturizer) in preparation para umalis ng bahay... (notice my soft and smooth skin????) at siyempre ginagawa ko 'to habang nanonood ng TV para naman di sayang oras...

Eh biglang pinalabas yung trailer ng Hachiko... MWAHAHAHA! Tulo luha galore ako! Pakshet!

Agjuli nakalimutan ko na yung moment na 'to kanina... eh kaso kinukwento ko kay Gem kanina yung plot naman nung kinuwento sa akin na film ni Santo (Aftershock)... hindi ko pa pala napapanood yung Aftershock... kinuwento pa lang sa akin...

so ayun.. habang kinukwento ko kay Gem biglang...

IKAW NA! Ikaw na ang umiyak habang nagkwekwento ng movie na di mo pa napapanood! Hahaha!

Howells! umiyak rin naman ako habang kinukwento ni Santo yung plot sa amin.

POWER NAP

Akalain niyo!!! ni-coin daw to ng isang Social Psychologist from Cornell by the name of James Maas (c/o Wikipedia ulit.)

Eh naisip lang namin tong POWER NAP kasi masarap matulog after mag-bike ng 500 miles (exaggeration but you know what I mean!)...

Taena.. Do you need to be an academic to be officially declared as someone who coined anything?!

EH ANG DAMI DAMI KO NG IMBENTONG WORD!

(e.g.
RAWRSH!/ROARSH! - sound effect for "Give Me Wild"-Pose and/or pag nagkukunyari kang si Storm ka of X-MEN tapos nagpo-power on ka.
European - Praning
Stikadol/Stikekek - Waray for Naks! (di ko maalala kung ako nga ba umimbento nito but my friends remember me for these)
etc...)

Di ko nga lang maalala yung iba, BUT STILL!!!!!

Obvious ba? BORed ako!?! Kung ano na naiisip ko isulat tungkol sa mga nababasa ko!

BROWNOUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Taena brownoutttttttttttttt!!!!!! naka-UPS lang mga PC namin pero walang ilaw shiyeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! (well except for the emergency lights.)

OKay naka-ilang patay-sindi na yung ilaw... PASKO PA BA?!?!?!?

Am I disabled?

At siyempre nagbabasa pa rin ako ng Wikipedia... while reading on Melatonin, napunta ako sa isang article about DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome). Symptoms which apply to me:

• Sleep later than 2 AM (Akala ko dati kasalanan lang ng mga series na pinapanood ko!)
• Exhibit normal sleep quality if not required to maintain a strict schedule. (Thank you Flexi-time)
• No difficulty in maintaining sleep once asleep (YES! Mantika ako!)
• Severe to Absolute inability to advance sleep-phase to earlier hours (Chowee! Copy-paste.. nahirapan ako i-paraphrase eh... Anyway, dati sinubukan ko matulog ng 3AM instead of my usual 5AM... nakatulog ako 7AM na tuloy.. resulta ng kakapilit matulog ng maaga! Hahaha!)
• skip sleep for an entire day then sleep 12-18 hours the next day. (Yuhuh!)

Potaena! Akala ko tamad lang ako bumangon dahil sa lamig... PAKSHET! I HAVE A DISORDER!!!!

From Wikipedia: Accdg to Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, "disability" is defined as a "physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities". "Sleeping" is defined as a "major life activity" in § 12102(2)(a) of the statute.

Taena kung Kano lang ako... pde na ako mag-park sa space for the Disabled! And more importantly kung sumali ako sa kahit anong American Pageantry... at tinanong ako kung ano ang isa sa mga major life accomplishments ko... SLEEPING would be a valid answer.

Sleep with your eyes closed!

As usual pumepetiks na naman ako...

May binabasa kasi akong weightloss blog... hehehe... astig kasi meron siyang before and after photos na pde mong paikut-ikutin... more importantly, nakakaamaze kasi ang laki ng ipinayat niya... wala lang siyempre ito yung pang-motivate ko rin na kaya ko rin pumayat ulit... mahirap nga lang... pero kaya pa rin... WAHOW!

Anyway, yung isang post niya... ilang beses niya kasi binanggit yung gallbladder niya... so ayun nagbasa ako about gall stones and gall bladders... tapos may nabasa ako about melatonin... (Akala ko nung start melatonin = melanin... According to Wikipedia... mali pala ang akala ko!!!!) Anyway.. habang nagbabasa ako about Melatonin (The Hormone of Darkness - taena buti konti lang friends kong nakakabasa nito kasi malamang sa malamang marami na naman hihirit sa akin nun), siyempre andami ko napuntahan na site....

Isa sa mga site na napuntahan ko... said, and I quote "Shift-workers who sleep in darkened rooms with their eyes closed [...]"

Ang naisip ko lang... ANO DAW?!?! SINO NAMAN KASI NATUTULOG NG DILAT ANG MATA NA HINDI ISDA?!

Hahahahah! Shiyet!

Muntikan na AKO!

Taena! Ma-award na naman sana ako ni JD (US tatay namin) pag nagkataon! Muntik na mag-run yung job ko na mag-dedelete ng records sa Production. Taena buti naka-queue yung jobs! Nadelete ko agad bago pa mag-run!

Akala ko naman kasi ok na kasi ok na yung test ko sa development. Bigla ba naman akong tanungin ng PM ko na nagpapasubmit ng job: "Did Dennis (teammate) say anything about getting approvals for update adhocs?"

Ako: *pause* *lipat ng window at nagkandarapang tanggalin sa queue yung job kong papatay sa akin*

Homaygeds... pareho pala naming hindi alam yung protocol! Taena! Matatanggal ako nito sa trabaho ng di oras! Shet!

Commuter Me

Ok. Commuter mode na naman ako... And what a day to be a commuter!

Pagkalabas ko ng bahay, umuulan. Pero sige oks lang, I have payong kaya!

Pagkarating sa Tandang Sora, habang naglalakad papuntang overpass... napapansin ko.. shet nababasa yung pwet at likod ko... then I realized... POTA! tumaba nga pala ako! Mas lalong lumaki surface area ng likod at pwet ko... dati kasi di naman ako nababasa sa payong na yun!

Eh siyempre si Mother Nature, ayaw din magcooperate... lalong lumakas yung buhos... tapos naisip ko.. shet! MAGTATAXI na nga ako! Minsan lang naman umulan. So triny ko magpara ng taxi... pero siyempre... magkakakuntsaba sila lahat... so walang available na taxi for me! So ayun napilitan na ako umakyat ng overpass para tumawid ng Commonwealth kesa naman tumayo lang ako sa ilalim ng mas lalong lumalakas na ulan... ayoko nga!

So pagkatawid ko... iniisip ko na lang kahit yucky na yung paa ko kasi ang dami ko ng puddles na nadaanan... "di bale... nauulanan rin naman paa ko kahit papano... so nahuhugasan na rin siya ng rain at di naman siya ganun kadumi talaga."

Eventually, nakasakay rin ako ng bus. At ayos naman yung pwesto ko... kasi malapit lang sa may pinto pero di naman super lapit sa TV na sasakit yung leeg ko pag nag-decide akong manood ng TV.

Di ko lang pinapansin yung TV kasi ina-attempt ko matulog. Eh kaso gwapo yung bida... may choice ba ako?! Siyempre nanood na akO! Hahahha! Basta Chinese Film siya.. basta tungkol sa drifting yung plot (ala-Tokyo Drift drifting). Pag medyo korni parts, tinitingnan ko na lang yung trapik sa labas at kung gaano kalakas yung ulan. Nung nasa Boni na... pota biglang nag-start yung exciting part. May race yung bida (Jay Chou... yung nasa Green Hornet, pero una ko siya nakita sa Kung Fu Dunk... kyut siya dun sa Kung Fu Dunk kahit madalas na panget siya... kyut lang kasi siya pag ngumingiti... eh madalas kunyari serious yung character niya.. ayun tuloy.. madalas rin siyang panget hahaha!) vs kontrabida vs extrang-bida na gwapo (nagyoyosi.... pero gwapo pa rin, di ko lam kung sino tong artista).

Eh malapit na ako bumaba... first time ata ako nagdasal na huwag muna umusad yung traffic hahahah! Para lang mapanood ko yung ending kung paano mananalo yung bida at kung matatalo ba nung dalawang bida yung kontrabida...

In fairness, nakita ko pang natalo yung kontrabida... kaso di ko na nakita pano nanalo yung bida over the extrang-bidang gwapo... ang tanong ngayon... ano kaya title ng movie na yun para mapanood ko sa bahay!

speaking of movies and bahay.... WAHOW! Nahiram ko kay Aubrey yung Nbox (yung pde mo direcho panoorin sa TV yung nasa harddrive mo... ANG SARAP SARAP MANOOD SA TVng malinaw vs Laptop Monitor.

RAWRSH!!!!

This is the sound of many things.... and it is also the sound of me... drowning in credit card debt.

Pakshet! Sinabihan ko si mama na sasagutin ko yung pang-Malaysia nila ni Papa kasi may promo yung Air Asia hanggang bukas. Pero balak ko, Kota Kinabalu lang kasi 430 lang per way...

But NO!!!! Gusto niya KL... so Ok pa rin... Kasi 1130 lang ata per way... sige keri pa...

But No!!!! Gusto niya i-book ko rin si Aubrey saka si Tita Ning at Tito Eddie. Pero since sagot naman ni Tita Ning yung sa kanilang dalawa ni Tito Eddie... medyo half-grudgingly pumayag na rin ako... ok fine sasagutin ko na rin yung kay Aubrey....

BUT NO!!! Gusto ni Mama mag-side trip papuntang Singapore kasi gusto niya daw mag-Sentosa! PAKSHET!!!!!!

Not to diss SG or anything, pero from what I heard it's just a man-made beach naman daw... Sa dinami-dami ng magagandang beaches natin dito sa Pilipinas, siyempre I still prefer our beaches over man-made beaches ng ibang lugar... Saka I heard, overrated naman daw yung Sentosa... but then that's just what I heard, I haven't been there myself... but then again, I prefer natural scenery over man-made ones.

Ang point ko lang naman, Mother... kung gusto mo lang mag-beach sa Singapore... umuwi ka na lang ng Samar!!!

Enough is enough!!! ok fine... sagot ko yung flight fares nila... pero bahala na sila sa hotels nila... lilibre ko sana yung hotel nila ni Papa... eh kaso hello! di naman ako gawa sa ginto no! angdami na nila saka angtagal na nila dun! Hello lang!!!

Hahahahaha! Taena! hirap mag-prepare para lang di ako mapagalitan pag ako na ang mag-Kota sa October! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! di ko pa sa kanila sinasabi na 1 week ako sa Malaysia sa October! Pero shet! naiingit ako! di pa rin ako naka-Singapore ever, kahit man lang foodtrip gusto ko mag-SG. Shet!

Di bale... Mt Kinabalu and Palau Tiga... and hopefully Brunei... Please make up for Singapore for the mean time!

Goodbye Fabio!

Isosoli ko na muna ulit si Fabio sa Subic. At bago pa isipin ng tatay ko na kaya ko isosoli eh kasi registration time na naman, uunahan ko na siya at sasabihin kong babayaran ko yung registration niya this year... pero di ko na talaga siya kukunin muna kasi nga...

MAY BAYAD NA PARKING SA AMIN! Di na pde magpark sa labas ng village.

Commuter girl na naman ako.

If I try to keep Fabio... eto magiging gastos ko:

Gas             : 2,000 +/- per 2 weeks
McKinley Parking:   500     per 2 weeks
GolfHill Parking: 1,250     per 2 weeks (assuming that I get to have a cheap one)
=========================================
                  3,750     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  7,500     per month

If mag-taxi naman ako everyday: (my officemate just informed me na mag-i-increase na daw flagdown, 30 to 40, and rate of inc, 2.50 to 3.50, so my calculations below are underestimated since they are based on the current taxi rates)
Tricycle to UP  :    30     per trip
Taxi            :   160 +/- per trip
=========================================
                    190     per way
=========================================
                    380     per day
=========================================
                  3,800     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  7,600     per month

However, if I did commit to commuting everyday:
 
OPTION 1:

Tricycle to TS  :    30     per trip  /* TS = Tandang Sora
Bus to Guadalupe:    25     per trip
Jeep to McKinley:    12     per trip
=========================================
                     67     per way
=========================================
                    134     per day
=========================================
                  1,340     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  2,680     per month

OPTION 2: **problematic kasi this would mean I have to be out of the office by at most 9-930PM to be able to catch the last MRT trip of the day. Which, in return, would mean that I have to be in the office by 12 NN, which would mean that I have to leave home by 11AM at the latest... which would also imply that I have to wake up by 7AM if I want to exercise and eat food at home para todo tipid.
Tricycle to TS :     30     per trip /* TS = Tandang Sora
Jeep to Q.Ave  :      9     per trip
MRT to Guadalupe:    12     per trip
Jeep to McKinley:    12     per trip
=========================================
                     63     per way
=========================================
                    126     per day
=========================================
                  1,260     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  2,520     per 2 weeks

Moneywise, this would be a no-brainer. Timewise, though, blows my mind to far and beyond. With taxi/Fabio, a trip to/from the office would take me 30-45 minutes. With commuting, however, 60 minutes is the minimum (Option 2) which might even take up to 150minutes (read 2 and a half hour = one full movie.. for Option 1)

I therefore conclude... I choose Commuting:Option 3

OPTION 3: a combination of 1 and 2 commuting (2 to office, 1 for going home)

                130 per day
=========================================
              1,300 per 2 weeks
=========================================
              2,600 per MONTH

POTAENA! Money come to me!!!!

I want to say something.

But I don't really know how to say it.

I am annoyed. Ayoko ng niloloko ako about stuff na kunyari wala ng halaga ang kung ano mang effort na gagawin ko kasi di talaga ako mag-e-effort. Not that I do much effort on stuff anyway.

Di ako thoughtful na tao.
Which is why I also don't expect people na magpakathoughtful when it concerns me.
Which is also why I'm always happily surprised when they do thoughtful stuff for me.

I do try sometimes pero when you brush it off, don't expect me to come crawling at subukang ipagpilitan sa mukha mo ang kung ano mang kagaguhang "thoughtful deed" na naisip ko that time... because I won't.

I won't hate you, of course, just don't expect anything from me in the future. I may get over it someday, but don't expect it anytime soon.

I don't like people trying to manipulate me by lying/kidding around about what's really happening. Fine. DO what you want! Just don't expect me to do what you want kasi di mangyayari yun. Mangyayari lang yun kung pareho tayo ng gustong mangyari... that is if you haven't pissed me off yet.  Kasi when push comes to shove... kahit di ko trip gawin, gagawin ko talaga para lang mabwisit ka!

When you're bored and you know it...

Make Faces! 

Sabi ko na eh! I look like a boy when I frown!

Boy

Girly Boy

Boyish Girl

Girl! Yes! I am a girl!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

Tangina! Naiiyak ako!!!

I sort of get it, but I kinda don't.

PUTA!

TANGINAAAAAAAAAAA!! ISANG JCL NA LAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!

POTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! ISang JCL na lang tinetest ko tapos ayaw pa gumana!!!! PAAAAAAAAAKSHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! Pota kung ano pa yung huli yun pa ang nag-iinarte!!!! Nahahighbloood na akooooooooo!! GUSTO KO NA UMUWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

GUMANAAAAA KAAA NAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! TANGINANG TESTING TOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

GUMANA KA NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Nababaliw na ako....

Homaygeds! antok na antok na ako! For the first time in months.. gusto ko umuwi ng bahay para matulog... hindi para manood ng series! Need to wake up tomorrow by 8am... para makapasok akong maaga!

I WANK TO SLEEP NA!

Choke on that Disposable Asshole!

As I was sitting inside KFC patiently waiting for my takeout order, one of the guys at the table beside mine requested for disposable spoon and fork. The waitress gave him non-disposable ones since KFC seems to be trying to go green. Ang anakngpotang nilalang insisted on the disposable utensils that he requested for because he was "more comfortable" using disposable utensils.

What the hell!?!?!?! Who in this planet are "more comfortable" in using disposable plastic utensils*?!?!?! Unless you're allergic to metal, you will not be MORE comfortable with using plastic ones!!!! Plastic utensils are teeny tiny and are more prone to breaking as compared to non-disposable ones.

It took all of my strength to prevent myself from standing up, grabbing those disposable utensils, and shoving them down his throat while shouting at his very, very disposable face: CHOKE ON THAT! DISPOSABLE ASSHOLE!!!

* I'm talking about spoon and fork here, not chopsticks. I prefer my plastic chopsticks (washable, not disposable) over metal ones because they're lighter, I think; and nobody gave me metal chopsticks yet... hehe.

p.s. I am not a super-duper environmentalist person, but I do try to decrease my carbon footprint in anyway I can, without going crazy about it (story above excluded). I don't grab straws for every soda that I order in fast food restaurants; if given the option, I always use non-disposable utensils; I am still recycling all the xeroxes/papers that I had in college (yes, I didn't throw them away, I collected them for scratch paper); I don't litter, I keep my trash in my pocket if there's no bin to be seen, etc. I don't mind people who use straws for their sodas, but then again... when exposed to people as mentioned above... HOMAYGEDS!!! Parang gusto ko biglang mag-transform into Captain Planet tapos sunugin yung nilalang sa ilalim ng puno ng mangga para naman magkasilbi siya!

My Saturday Plans

• Walk around in Ateneo
• Spa... the works

Kaso... madalas pa sa madalas eh... di natutuloy ang mga plano... so I will call the aforementioned activities... My Saturday Bulletpoints! hahaha! Taena!

MAY EXCITED! FEELING MAYAMAN NA NAMAN AKO!!! KAHIT MAHIRAP NAMAN TALAGA! DI bale ng magutom basta makapag-spa lang! potang spa yan! Nakaka-adik! Pakdatshet!

Don't Hate Me Cause I'm Beautiful!

And of course my day wouldn't just be complete kung di ako ma-e-LSS sa nakakatawang kanta...

Haaaay! It reminds me of those days when my song was:

I'm your Venus!

I'm your fire!

At your desire!

HAhahaha! taena parang taglish lang din yung Bananarama! Hahaha! Makes sense to me!

Nakakabaliw na!

SHet!!!! Nakakabaliw na tong Impact Analysis na tO!!!!! Isang linggo na akong nakatingin sa excel files ko at sa JCLs! Bakit ang laki laki ng IMPACT NIYA?!!!!

WHY!?!!?! Porque!?!?!? Porquoi??!?!?! Doushite?!?!?! BAKIT?!??! KAY-ANO!??!?!

HUWAY-O-WAY-O-WAY!!!!?!?!?

I'm bangag! Bow!

22 and a half hours awake... still need to drive home...

Good Morning!!!

Today's gonna be a good day!

Reminder to Self 003: Brain Bursting!

Potaena! Di ako makatulog!!!

Besides the almost-freezing temp, I have this idea of starting a Travel Blog. Andami-dami kong naiisip kung paano ko siya gagawin.

I'm going to try to remember the places where I've been since I was a kid. Tell a story kung pano ako napunta dun, pano pumunta dun, what I like about the place, etc. Maybe I'll put a link to albums that are currently existing online and then mark those places where I've been nung di pa uso digicam, then go back to those places with camera on-hand para astig!

SHET! plano na naman ng plano! Di naman magawa... di bale... at least nakarecord na dito.

Sana magawa ko to!

Okay... creepy!

I don't remember closing my window, which is why I decided to close it now because it was getting too cold for me... but apparently, someone already closed it.

I live alone and unless my parents just arrived from Samar, which I doubt, that window should have stayed open.

UNLESS!!! a Schwarzenegger bird decided to push the window in to close it.

OKAY... more than a multo, it is more probable that I just forgot that I closed it... kasi makakalimutin ako! Leche! Naprapraning lang ako! MATUTULOG NA! Stupid stupid nightmare! Hanggang ngayon tuloy umi-imbento ako ng sarili kong kakatakutan! Pakdatshet!

This time last night (or early morning)...

... I just woke up from a heart-thumping, nearly-horrifying dream. Ngayon naman patulog pa lang ako. I've been watching out for torrents of Conan's latest episodes pero wala pa ring lumalabas, so I had to settle for Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things Part 1 lang muna.

I thought it was a happy episode, but no! Nakaka-depress!!! Hahahahaha! Sorry na! Inggitera akong tunay. Ok pa ako nung namigay siya ng diamond watch at ng mamahaling bag at shoes, keri ko pa... Kaso nung linabas na yung Nikon D3100 SLR... the green-eyed monster emerged! Hahahaha!

I decided that I only want a Nikon P7000 because I think it's something I can save up for without regretting once I buy it, pero SHET!!! If only someone would give me a Nikon D3100...

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I WANT ONE TOO!!!!

That episode of Oprah was my nightmare for today.

I really am content with what I have, but when you learn about the things that you COULD have... HOMAYGEDS! Contentment flies out the window... while envy saunters in!

Whatdashet!

(See earlier nightmare posts: Part 1, Part 2)

Ngayon ko lang naalala... same village nga pala kami ni Maneh! Hahahahahahah!!!

Burr! It's cold in here!

It's not as cold as Baguio, pero it's not as warm as the usual Manila.

Taena, I need to run before I can properly take a bath kasi sobrang lamig ng tubig at wala akong water heater. Tapos kelangan naka-kumot ako parati kasi ang lamig lamig lamig lanG!

Akala ko pa naman may silbi tong mga taba ko as insulation sa lamig but NO! apparently sa laki kong to... mukhang puro masel pa rin ako kung lamigin! hahahhhaa!

As if!

Bottomline... POTEK ANG LAMIG! naka-off pa electric fan ko niyan ha!

I just had one of my more disturbing nightmares. Part 2

Continued from Part 1

SO Anyway! ayun na! Pumipili na ako kung saang side ako bababa. Dun sa side ng haunted house with nanlalapa ng tao na mga aso o dito sa kabila kung saan locked yung solid gate na lagpas tao? Tapos ayun nga... si Mang Fred tulog sa isang upuan habang nakabantay sa locked gate. Di ko alam kung kasama rin ba si Mang Fred sa haunted house experience so I decided to jump stealthily sa may side niya... tapos cross over dun sa side ng haunted house kapag medyo lumayo yung mga aso from the open gate to freedom (may grilled gate na mukhang pdeng buksan between the garden ng haunted house at garage ng kabilang bahay)

Dun ako tumalon sa stuffed toy na sheep kaya di maingay yung pagkatalon ko, so di nagising si Mang Fred... so ayun inaabangan ko na na lumayo yung mga aso. Nung lumayo yung mga aso, binuksan ko yung grilled gate between the garden and the garage and I ran towards the open gate... kaso pagtingin ko... FUCK! may isang aso palang di ko nakita... so napatakbo ako pabalik dun sa grilled gate pabalik dun sa garage nung kabilang bahay... naabutan ng aso yung legs ko... pero buti na lang naka-jeans ako na bell-bottom so nangatngat niya yung pantalon lang. Tapos nasara ko na yung gate habang nag-gr-growl yung aso thru the gate kasi nga di ba grilled gate lang siya? So ayun... medyo kinakabahan na ako kasi baka biglang bumalik si Manilyn or kung ano man... so naglakas loob na akong gisingin si Mang Fred.

So I shook Mang Fred awake tapos nagmakaawa akong buksan niya yung gate. Nung pagkagising niya parang ayaw niya pa muna buksan pero di ko alam... mukhang naawa na siguro sa mukha ko kaya binuksan niya rin.

Pagkalabas ko ng gate... nakita ko si Boboy Garovillo na may karga-kargang baby tapos kinakamusta ako. Pero siyempre kasi medyo panic panic pa ako... tumakbo na ako pauwi.

CHANGE SCENE


Nasa parlor ako nakikipagtsismisan sa girl version ni Nands. Kinukwento ko na sa kanya yung nangyari sa akin, tapos pinasa ko na yung real estate na yun kasi ayoko na bumalik dun. Di ko alam kung bakit pero tinanggap naman niya yung trabaho.

The next day, binalita niya sa akin na ni-meet nga rin daw siya ni Manilyn sa may gate pero unlike nung experience ko nakita niya yung buong bahay minus the horrific experience. So ayun, siya na nga lang daw magbebenta nung bahay.

Eh apparently may friend kami na kamukha niya pero mas mahaba yung buhok tapos mas straight yung buhok... eh tsismosa... so gusto rin subukan i-meet si Manilyn. Iniisip niya magapanggap siya as Girl Nands kasi nga halos kamukha niya. Pero siyempre kinakabahan kami kasi hindi siya si Girl Nands at baka matulad sa akin yung experience niya tapos di pa siya makalabas ng buhay. So dahil makulit nga eh di namin siya mapigilan. So I decided to accompany her pag may ibang pupuntahan si Girl Nands para di niya alam na magpapanggap as Girl Nands yung friend namin na kamukha niya. Pero nung sinamahan ko siya, malayo lang ako para di siya mabuko ni Manilyn na nagpapanggap lang as Girl Nands.

So ayun pinuntahan namin yung bahay tapos nakatago lang ako sa mga bushes sa katabing bahay. Tapos pagtingin ko, may nakatagong parlor sa may gilid ng bahay... at since mukha naman wala pang problema... I decided to go inside the hidden salon. Andun ulit si Boboy Garovillo karga karga ulit yung baby niya at yung isa naman niyang anak around 10 yrs old eh nakaupo naman sa sopa. So ako nag-sorry ako kay Boboy Garovillo kasi nga tinakbuhan ko siya the last time I met him. Tapos saka ko tinanong kung ano yung alam niya tungkol dun sa haunted house, tapos kung bakit dun siya nakatira malapit sa haunted house. So biglang sinabi ni Boboy na umalis na sila ng mga anak niya sa bahay nila. He made it clear na they were just waiting for someone to fetch them kasi mukhang kakaalis lang nila sa bahay nila. So tinanong ko siya kung asan na mga gamit nila. Apparently, it was scary enough for him to decide to leave his house with just his children and leaving everything else. So tingin ako bigla kay Ces, na biglang kasama ko pala. We decided na kelangan palabasin na namin yung friend namin na kamukha ni Girl Nands from the haunted house kasi mukhang super scary na.

Pagkalabas namin sa salon, direcho na kami sa gate. Wala yung mga nanlalapa ng tao na mga aso... so dire-direcho na kami papasok ng bahay. Pagkapasok dun sa bahay na mukhang sunog at abandonado, biglang naiihi naman si Ces. Sabi ko wag niya akong iwan kasi mas mabuti kung magkasama kami the entire time kasi nga gaya sa movie, mas madalas na namamatay yung mga tao pag naghihiwahiwalay sila. Pero kasi naiihi daw talaga siya so gusto niya hanapin yung banyo.

Di ko alam bakit di na lang siya umihi sa sahig since sira sira naman yung bahay pero ayun, hinanap niya pa rin yung banyo.

Tapos di ko alam panong nangyari, andun na bigla si Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, tapos dalawa pang puting artista na blurred na yung mukha.. di ko na maalala kung sino sila. Nakatayo kaming lima around a table na may Lazy Susan sa kitchen. Tapos biglang parang may ala-mirror effect paikot sa likod namin... tapos nakikita namin yung kontrabidang nag-hahaunt ng bahay. Lalaki siya na magulo yung buhok tapos naagnas yung mukha pero kita pa rin yung tahi tahi sa mukha niya. Iniikutan niya kaming lima. Di ko alam pano nangyari pero biglang may whip siya tapos kinuha niya yung isang artistang babae gamit yung whip tapos nilagay niya sa isang dimension na nakikita namin via a picture frame. Parang nasa lahar na umaagos yung artistang babae.

So ayun, apat na lang kaming natira dun sa paikot ng table... di ko ulit maalala masyado, pero biglang nagbida-bidahan si Jessica Biel tapos in-attack niya yung kontrabidang lalaki. Pero since malakas yung lalaki, itinapon niya si Jessica Biel with one hand (yung isang kamay niya hawak yung whip na nakapaikot pa rin dun sa bewang nung isang artistang nasa ibang dimension), palabas ng bahay. Pagtingin namin sa labas ng bahay, hati na yung katawan ni Jessica Biel tapos nilalapa na siya nung mga aso. Basta super gross yung nakikita ko.

So ayun ni-he-heart attack ulit ako. Yung isang artistang lalaki nakahandusay na pala dun sa table. So ako na lang saka si Ryan Reynolds yung may magagawa. Si Ryan Reynolds, naka-guerilla attire, yung parang si Sylvester Stallone sa Rambo. So bumulong ako kay Ryan Reynolds na nakatakas na ako dati sa haunted house na yun, susubukan ko tumakas habang nilalabanan niya yung lalaki tapos tatawag ako ng pulis.

Hahahaha! Di ko alam bakit naisip kong makakatulong yung mga pulis! Pero anyway, ayun, tumango si Ryan. So tumakbo ako papunta ulit dun sa pader kung san ako tinuro ni Miss Tapia last time. This time gising na si Mang Fred tapos tinulungan niya ako lumabas agad.

By this time, naheheart attack na talaga ako. So I decided to end my dream by magically willing that there be a cellphone in my hand where I can call the super duper extra fast police. Pagkadating ng mga pulis na walang kasingbilis... tinapunan nila ng tear gas yung bahay... tapos biglang tumatakbong palabas si Ryan Reynolds at si Ces.

Tapos bumukas na yung mata ko habang humihinga ako ng malalim at mabilis. POTA TALAGA!!! Ngayong sinusulat ko na tong part 2, parang nakakatawa na lang.... pero habang pinapanaginip ko siya sobrang takot ko lang talaga!

Siyempre para happy ending... nakatuluyan ko si Ryan Reynolds tapos sabay kami nagbakasyon sa Maldives.

Hahahaha! SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! STupid nightmare!!!!

I just had one of my more disturbing nightmares. Part 1

Putangina! I was supposed to run outside at 430am, but I was sort of controlling my dream and decided to end it and wake up! Guess what time it was 4:15am!

Ok na sana kasi I have 15 minutes to prepare, kaso taena naman! The dream was about a stupid haunted house at hello lang! Di ko kayang tumakbo sa dilim habang pinapalibutan ng sandamakmak ng madidilim na bahay! shit!

These are the players, (medyo nagiging foggy na rin yung ibang taong nasa panaginip ko):

• Des - SPICE Girl hahaha!
• Axis - boyps ni Des (Spice Boy!) na trulab ko
• Francis - nakilala ko via SPICE
• Ces - college blockmate na kapareho ko ng birthday
• Ryan Reynolds
• Jessica Biel
• girl version ni Nands - TL ko na lalaki.
• isa pang girl na kamukha ng girl version ni Nands but with a longer straighter hair
• Manilyn Reynes
• Dennis N. - ka-work ko sa SSS na friend rin ni Abi (nakilala ko sa Soluziona)
• artistang gumanap madalas bilang Miss Tapia
• artistang parating gumaganap bilang isang pari o kaya kahit sinong matandang lalaking mabait na may gray hair - Mang Fred yung pangalan niya sa panaginip.
• Boboy Garovillo of Apo Hiking Society
• 2 puting artista with blurred faces kasi di ko na maalala kung sino sila

Nagiinuman kina Des, pero yung bahay nila Des nasa tabi ng ilog Pasig instead of dun sa loob ng village. At siyempre kung andiyan si Des, andiyan din si Axis.

Medyo may tama na ako so sasabay ako dapat sa limo ni Francis. Yes! may limo si Francis. Anak daw pala siya ng mafia boss. Pero nagpapakagoldenheart siya so nagsimula daw siya ng nursing home para sa mga unano na sinusuportahan ng nanay niya pero di alam ng tatay niya.

Eh kaso may tama nga ako so nakatulog ako dun sa bench tapos kay Dennis N. na lang ako sasabay pauwi bago niya sunduin yung girlfriend niya. Nag-jeep kami ni Dennis N. hanggang sa isang tulay na di ko alam kung saan tapos bumaba na ako.

CHANGE SCENE

Di ko alam pero parang continuation pa rin siya nung kwento sa taas habang pinapanaginip ko siya. Anyway, yung view sa panaginip is parang sa TV ko nakikita yung sarili ko. Apparently real estate na yung bago kong career at tumitingin ako ng mga bahay na ibebenta na.

Si Manilyn Reynes yung nag-meet sa akin sa may gate, pero di ko nakikita yung mukha niya. (FUCK! nininerbiyos ako habang kinukwento ko to!) Pagbukas niya kasi ng gate harap siya kaagad ng bahay habang dinedescribe yung buong bahay. Ako naman manghang-mangha kasi ang ganda ganda ng labas ng bahay. Nasa may garden si Miss Tapia nakatingin lang sa amin. Di ko pa siya pinapansin masyado.

Apparently, naaagnas yung mukha ni Manilyn kapag lumalayo siya sa bahay tapos na rereconstruct habang lumalapit siya ulit sa bahay. Kaso siyempre di ko to nakikita kasi nga tatanga tanga ako sa likod niyang tumitingin tingin sa paligid. Pagkapasok ng bahay, may reconstructed na kahoy na boat sa loob na inincorporate sa buong bahay. Basta super maganda yung bahay. Halong modern at traditional kumbaga.

Siyempre ako naman tong usisera punta ako agad dun sa hagdan which will lead me atop the barkong kahoy. Tapos biglang sabi ni Manilyn na iwan niya muna ako for awhile to look around. And then she disappeared. And the moment she disappeared, bigla rin nag-disintegrate yung magandang bahay into kung ano talaga yung itsura niya. Apparently, super tanda na nung bahay at parang nasunog partially tapos inabandona.

Eh siyempre panic ako agad! So takbo ako palabas ng bahay tapos hinarang ako ni Miss Tapia sa may pinto. Kasi may man-eating dogs pala dun sa may garden! Dun daw ako dumaan sa may gilid ng bahay. So dinala niya ako sa kung saan yung kwarto niya banda (dun yung room niya sa may garage part sa gilid ng bahay). Pagkarating ko dun sa gilid, pinaakyat niya ako sa pader kasi bahay/garage na ng ibang tao yung nasa likod ng pader. So sa pader ako naglakad papuntang gate. Kaso pagdating sa malapit na sa gate kelangan ko na bumaba. kasi may poste sa harap ko na malaki masyado na di ko pwede ikutan lang basta basta. Either dito ako sa may haunted house bumaba kung san may mga lumalapa ng tao na mga aso o dito sa kabilang bahay kung saan nakalock naman yung gate. So di rin ako makakalabas. Pero sa may gate natutulog si Mang Fred...

OK hina-heart attack pa ako. Di ko kaya ituloy habang madilim pa sa labas.

To be continued!

It is hard to ask for help when you're in really deep shit.

I just heard this on TV:

When you're drowning, it's hard to ask for help when you're mouth is full of water.

Reminders to Self 002

To have a semi-organized room:

• Only computer stuff should remain on the table. CDs/DVDs excluded.
• Food is allowed, but only while eating.
• Put clothes in the cabinet as soon as the laundry arrives.
• Organize one area of the room everyday 
• sofa side
• aircon side
• bookshelves area
• cabinet (clothes)
• pc table area
• barbie shelves
• miscellaneous area
• kitchen
• bathroom

Mwahahaha! Akala mo ang laki ng bahay ko... but no! Marami lang talagang kalat.

Benefits of a clean room:

• Easier to write on laptop
• Easier to eat
• More relaxing to sleep
• Easier to clean up after whatever
• Easier to find stuff 

Hehehe... siyempre kelangan may reminder why I should clean up. It is always easy to choose sleep over cleaning up!

Why I haven't been exercising...

This is a groundbreaking post. I'm going to admit to myself why I haven't started to exercise yet despite all the reminders and all the logical reasons I have given myself.

For the past days/weeks/months I kept telling myself na... this is it! Gagalaw na ako! I keep planning for it in my head. I'm going to run sa UP Oval... around Ateneo... inside Moro Lorenzo... dito sa baba ng bahay ko. I keep planning how I'm going to do it. I'm going to run before I go to the office, after office... BUT I JUST CAN'T START!

I keep having this obstacles inside my head. If I run before I go to the office, I have to prepare my run clothes and my office clothes and my towel and my toiletries. I should run at 5 am so there'd be less traffic when I go to Ateneo... but then again, I'd be done by around 7-8am and there'd be traffic. I should run at around 10am. I should run at around 9pm, etc, etc, etc...

And then I thought... Taena bakit sa Ateneo pa? Bakit sa UP pa? I have 400m worth of running ground downstairs, around the "village", bakit di na lang ako sa baba tumakbo???

Kasi nahihiya akong makita ng mga guard na tumatakbo.


Hahahahahah! What a pathetic reason, but it's true. So bakit ako nahihiya? Kasi ayokong isipin nila na tumatakbo ako para pumayat. I guess, I think it is a vain thing to do... to try to lose weight just for the sake of losing weight. I try to think of myself as not a vain person kahit na alam ko paminsan minsan vain din siguro ako hehe! I have never exercised explicitly to lose weight. I have always done physical activities because of a certain goal. It has always been for softball training, or a personal requirement before a climb, or for a game, etc. I never went to the gym kasi gusto kong magpa-sexy.

I think I just find it distasteful for myself to act that way, kasi alam ko di ako ganung tao. I have friends who go to the gym to lose weight and I think it's ok for them kasi sila yun eh, that's how they are. But, I thought, that's not me.

Then again... I thought... POTEK! Ang arte ko! May pa-distasteful distasteful pa akong alam! Leche! Who's pretentious now?!?! Sino ba yung tataba kung iisipin ko yung iniisip ng ibang tao!?!? Sino ba yung magsasayang ng pera kasi kelangan nang bumili ng mga damit kasi di na kasya yung mga damit niya sa kanya??!?!? SILA BA!!?! HINDI!!! AKO!!!

Like what I said in one of my earlier posts... FUCK YOU ALL! PAPAYAT NA AKO!

p.s. already set my alarm clock to 1:30pm so I can run by 3PM... hehehe! I can always say... FUCK YOU ALL!!! pero kilala ko pa rin sarili ko... Procrastination is the name... but by 3PM it will be Ready, Get Set... GAME!

Things to do on the first week of January:

• Clean the house. Try to get rid of stuff I don't need. Organize things. General cleaning.
• Let's get PHYSICAL! Physical! Start moving. No excuses allowed. No excuses. Period.
• Learn to prioritize.

2011 here I come!!!

It's always darkest before the dawn

The first half of my 2010 was one of the darkest of my life. Sure, a star would flicker now and again, but the dark would always come back. It was a time when I didn't know what to do with my life. I was agitated the entire time but I didn't know what to do about it.

I wanted to do something, anything... for myself, but I didn't know what it was. Knowing what you want and doing everything you can to get it but not quite getting it... is one thing. You can always try again another time or find another way how to get it. NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT is another kind of a sonofabitch.

I'm not saying I know what I want in my life now, but at least I know some of the things I want to do... for now. I guess, I always knew I wanted to do these things but it's not easy to own up to what you want when you don't know where to start, when you have no idea HOW to start, when you have no inkling if you can really do it on your own.  But I guess the AAs got it right. The first step is admitting that you want it. THEN you find a way.

The second half of 2010 was my dawn. I got off my back, stood on my own feet, and restarted my life. It was still not the best of times. It is not yet the best of times. But at least... I got over one of the not-so-good times of my life.

I believe 2011 is my day. I know that it is a cliche to reboot on January. But then again, it is a cliche because it works and it is always good to start at the beginning. It may not work for some people, but I sure as hell am gonna try to make it work for me.

BESIDES, my birthday this year is 11-22-11... isn't it uber-fun!?!? Hahahahaha!
